Volume X—No. 15 CORNING COMMUNITY COLLEGE February 22, 1971 photo by Eric Nelson Blizzard Sparks Confusion on College Closing Procedures by STEVE DICKINSON Tuesday, February 9, it was announced officially that the Corning Community College campus would be opened for regular classes, despite the snowfall and cold temperatures the night before. The announcement was made at approximately 7:30 that morning, even though the Corning School district was to be closed. The 8:00 class traffic reportedly did make the trip up Spencer Hill Road with little difficulty although the road was merely plowed and not scraped to the surface. The road was also sanded before the 8:00 traffic. The second wave of traffic, those cars coming up for 9:00 classes, met with extreme difficulty, as the road seemed impassible. It was later discerned that the 8:00 traffic had churned up the sand and slush on the road after which it quickly refroze to near glare ice, due to the cold temperature. Among the students who did make the trip up the hill a number approached the Director of the Commons, A1 Paperelli, and President Frederick, demanding to know why the campus had been opened, as the hill conditions were obviously hazardous. The president explained the procedures involved in closing the campus on days when road conditions were in question. The first step, according to Frederick, is an evaluation of the Spencer Hill Road conditions by Ray Johnson, Director of Buildings and Grounds. This is done at about 6:30 in the morning. He then checks State Police traffic bulletins and reports of the Corning school district’s closings. Mr. Johnson then communicates this information to the President at his home. It is at this time that the President makes the decision to open or to close the campus. If Frederick does in fact decide to close the campus, he contacts the radio stations of the Corning area. He also contacts Henry Newlin, Public Relations Director and assistant to the President, an Elmira resident, who in turn contacts the Elmira radio stations. This chain of events is hopefully completed by 7:30. After considering Mr. Johnson’s report on February 9, the President decided to open the school. The President added that some years ago, Corning Community College had divorced itself from following the Corning City School district in closing their respective schools. His reasoning for this move was the fact that the school district is forced to close when buses cannot reach the students in the outlying rural areas. The president does not believe that the college should be closed because of this. The Crier, in a separate meeting with the President, mentioned some of the rumors students were led to believe contributed to the decision to open the campus. The school was finally closed at about 10:00 that same morning, approximately two hours after being opened. A number of students believed that there were some financial aspects to the decision. The president ex- plained that State financial aid is given in a lump sum on a yearly basis and not on the day to day basis some students were led to believe, with at least a two hour opening constituting one full day of classes. Due to the confusion and admitted mistake by the administration concerning the slow method of communication in circumstances such as the one on Tuesday, a number of solutions have been proposed by administration and students. One solution was proposed in a meeting of President and Deans. It is that 8:00 and 9:00 classes be suspended on questionable days so that a rushed evaluation of hill conditions will not be necessary and so that snow clearing activities can be completed. Student government has formed a subcommittee to be consulted on questionable days and also to be of help in the construction of a workable solution to the hill evaluation problem and the slowness of the chain of events leading to the closing and opening of the campus because of weather. Students of the Day Recognition by TOM PUTMAN This is a special recognition, because it is to honor the concerned people. Pictured are just a few of the thirty-odd students who helped turn confusion into order. This award is not only to the people who helped push cars up the hill, but also to those who helped clear traffic for the students to go home. At approximately 10:20, after learning that classes were suspended and Spencer Hill Road was treacherous, these students organized work crews and walked from the Commons to the bottleneck in the road. These students are the ones you never hear about, because what is so sensational about somebody doing something good. They went down voluntarily, and along with the college employees succeeded in clearing the road and relieving the flow of traffic to a minimum. All credit goes to these students, and perhaps some people who criticize college students for being lazy will realize that they were wrong. The Crier staff recognizes these individuals and thanks them for what they did. photo by Eric Nelson Look People--A Piggy-Wiggy Award They Can Do It Why can’t you? Large Lounge Some people can’t read. Some don’t care! by DANIEL G. SCHARTZ And it came to pass that Corning Community College was almost entirely obliterated from sight by the litter which had been so carefully strewn about. And it was ugly. And it was nasty. And even the rats refused to peruse the refuse. And this was a problem. As the wise men of the college could plainly see, the ecological cycle was being disturbed, and this was bad (see Figure 1). So the wise men of the college decided to get together and study the problem. They holed up in the Commons with three jays for two nights and discussed the problem. Being very wise men, and not the type who were eager for criticism, they decided to follow the theory of the great and wise Mr. Nixon. The theory of the silent majority, that is, was as good a theory as any to use (as it didn’t really matter, because they had already decided what they were going to do anyway.) However, in keeping with the pattern of the article, it was felt that a minority of the people at Corning Community College were doing the majority of the campuses “pigulating” and the majority of the people were doing nothing to stop the “pigulators” from “pigulating.” As shown in Figure 2, this could become a serious problem when correlated with the data on Figure 3. Now, we don’t want a dangerous situation right here on campus, do we? Why, I can hear you as you read this very article, “Oh my gosh, certainly not!” So, in order to protect those of you who wish to procede carefree about the campus without caressing the crap, the wise men have devised a miracle which will instantly cut down on the litter and piggy attitudes on campus (or the genie who came up with the idea will get the boot). The plan, according to the consulting genie from a New York based firm, calls for making the actions of persons (luckily it will always be the other guy) caught in the process of making negative contributions to the campuses environment, a matter of public record. We call it intimidation. Below is the first of a series of weekly awards. This coveted award, the PIGGY - WIGGY AWARD, will be given to several people each week, we’re sorry to say, and is based on infor- The Crier Published by the students of Corning Community College Business & Office Staff Sheila Finnell, Mary Smythe, Sue Frank, Joannie Scouten, Anita Gordon, Andy Zadany REPRESENTED FOR NATIONAL.

WANNA JOIN DA CLUB? It’s easy . . . just do the following: 1) Take food and/or drink into the Large Lounge. 2) Be sure not to clean up your table when you leave the Kelly Lounge, cafeteria or dining room. 3) Carry food containers, napkins, etc. into the Commons front hall game room, and other rooms in the Commons and be sure that they are thrown anywhere but the waste cans. 4) Do the same type of thing in the Classroom, Science or Nursing Buildings in relation to the vending machines and classrooms. 5) Inflict intentional damage to the school in any way, shape or form. (Keep up the good work, we want the glass on the condiment table in the Nursing Building Lounge broken every day and how about a little more hot chocolate down the coin slots? Also, a special word to the valiant stair dwellers of the Commons Building who have made the dream of pond pollution within our building a reality.) Well, these are the club rules.

These issues concern North Vietnam's treatment of POW's, the treatment of POW's by the U.S. and its Saigon puppet, and the POW issue in the context of the Indochina War. First, the question of North Vietnamese treatment of POW's. Apparently we know very few hard facts about this — we can't even seem to locate a functioning POW camp—yet the reports of European diplomats in Hanoi and various Americans who have visited North Vietnam indicate that the scare stories put out by the current administration are not to be taken seriously. Most of the information given out by the U.S. government seems designed to play on American racism by creating the image of devious, slanteyed, inscrutable Orientals devising ingenious forms of torture for red-blooded American boys. Several released POW's, including two who later joined the "Tell It to Hanoi" campaign, reported quite adequate treatment. Despite the terrible damage done to their homes and families, North Vietnamese villagers have not attacked the pilots they have captured. It is probably true that the diet and medical treatment are below U. S. standards. North Vietnam is an underdeveloped country. and the U.S., with its massive bombing, has, of course, done its best to retard development. Strange, though, that those “humanitarians" so concerned with American POW’s never mention the treatment of North Vietnamese and NFL prisoners taken by the U.S. and her "allies." But of course, they are only “gooks”—nothing really to worry about. Still, some facts are available and worth considering. As long ago as last summer. Amnesty International (an organization concerned with prisoners in all countries) reported several North Vietnamese soldiers being held in dark. hot. “tiger cages." Some C.C.C veterans can tell you about pushing prisoners out of helicopters to get other captives to talk, about shooting prisoners to raise body count, and about various torture techniques. Perhaps the best evidence concerning our treatment of POW's is the recent testimony of several Vietnam veterans before the National Committee for a Citizens' Commission of Inquiry U.S. War Crimes in Vietnam. Two typical accounts follow. Peter Martinson, former Sp/5 POW Interrogator: "... One night particularly sticks in my mind as the first night I really got involved in torture techniques myself. I was interrogating an older man. He was sitting in the chair . . . across the table from me. and there was a lieutenant standing behind me screaming at me to break the man. . . so I pushed him over backwards. I almost broke his neck. . . I walked across our compound to another tent where an interrogation was going on. a man of draftable age. no ID card, we were quite Editor convinced he was VC. I proceeded to beat him with my fist, and you can beat a man senseless with your fist and not leave marks except for a slight reddening of the skin perhaps . . A lieutenant came in and proceeded to beat the man to no effect. Then he wired electrical field phone wires around the man's left wrist and proceeded to ring him up. as the term goes. . . I found [another] man's hands had been tied to an army field table . . . with field telephone wires, and the lieutenant was placing bamboo splinters under the man's nails. At the same time the Spec. 6 was ringing him up around his ears with a field telephone.” Michael Uhl. former 1st Lt., Counterintelligence Officer, Chief 1st Military Intelligence Team, 11th Brigade. Americal Division: “[I witnessed] systematic use of beatings and electrical tourture . . . brutalization of Vietnamese non-combatants — detainees — by U. S. troops and military intelligence personnel . . . frequent use of electrical torture using the TA 312 field telephone. . . The wires coming from the telephone were attached to sensitive parts of the body. I witnessed personally the use on fingers . . . also on ears. In one case I saw a young girl who was detained by the infantry unit . . . she was electrically tortured to the point that she menstruated and fell to the floor.” Perhaps the "Tell it to Hanoi” people don’t bring this up because they want to divert attention from the brutal practices of the U.S. and its puppet "allies"? A third question concerning the significance of the POW issue: what is its relation to the war? Very likely the issue is being used to stir up hatred for the “enemy” and support for a war which has. rightfully, lost the support of many Americans. Otherwise, why has the Nixon Administration only recently shed any public tears for the American prisoners in the North? (Let us not forget, either, that a similar maneuver by Washington prolonged the Korean war by 100.000 American casualties and untold Korean losses.) Whatever the reasons for the belated raising of the prisoner issue, the “Tell it to Hanoi" campaign can hardly be called nonpolitical. It is definitely political both in its impact (rallying of support for an aggressive, racist war), and in its scope (concern only with the conditions of some POW’s). True humanitarians would be interested in the conditions of all POW’s. While we’re on the subject — what are the terms for release of POW’s? Hanoi has stated that if the U.S.. will set a date for withdrawal. the POW issue can immediately be resolved. If Nixon is really planning to get out of the war. as he claims he is, what is wrong with that proposal? He, on the other hand, proposes an exchange now—while the fighting continues. Why—so the captured U.S. pilots can return to bombing the North? So that "tactical” nuclear weapons could be used on North Vietnam without endangering American lives (and thereby endangering public support for the war as well as Nix-continued on page six You’ve Got To Be Kidding A Payment For Life To The Editor: Here at C.C.C. all full-time students are insured by INA (Insurance Company of North America), with coverage enough for any single student. What about those of us who are married? Under the present policy. INA “pays up to $250 for a legally sanctioned abortion,” and yet a "pregnancy or resulting childbirth or miscarriage” is listed under exclusions of that same policy. In other words INA agrees to pay, in part, for a legal execution, but refuses payment for a chance of life! INA will help a mistake, but ignores a blessing! Granted, some abortions are necessary when the mother’s life may be in danger, or in some other similar circumstances, but the fact remains that abortions are covered and pregnancies are not. Either both cases should have coverage or neither should have coverage. As a parent. I find no other joy that compares to that of watching my daughter grow — always curious, and forever learning. To lawfully murder a child before having been given a chance to even take a breath, turns my stomach in disgust and pity. INA’s atrocious policy must be reformed, so as to afford protection for all, because that policy is a wrong that must be made right. What do YOU think? Jim Willis by RICH FARR You've got to be kidding was my first reaction as the clock radio told me Corning Community College would be open. I don’t know why I listened to the radio because it had betrayed me before. Once it woke me up at 3 a.m. for no apparent reason and twice it decided to see how loud it could play the 7 o'clock news. Of course I was fooled again, though I doubt really that I was betrayed by the radio. After all Corning was open for anyone that wanted to lounge or play cards. Lots of luck though if you actually came to attend a class. Anyway I got into the car. slid sideways down Route 17 and eventually scathed "The Hill". Soon after to be remembered as Coming's own Matterhorn. Though I don’t think anyone went up it simply because it was there. Once at the top of the hill, the problems had only started. There were no parking places because all of the lots were filled in with snow. Still this was nothing new because on Monday of the same week plowing was left up to each student that had a car. Since everyone else was plowing with the front bumper of his car I did it too and got stuck, too. Eventu- ally and finally I got parked. Then off to class only to discover that there wasn't a professor on campus. Wonderful!!! I would certainly like to know what happened. I remember during another fiasco known as freshman orientation that the incoming students were promised that the hill would be salted, cindered or sanded. The faculty told parents and students that the road crews did fine work in keeping the hill cleared. Well, they must have been working, but I don't know where. My second gripe being the fact that college officials promised to let students know by 7 a.m. whether C.C.C. would hold classes or not. Not until 10:45 did I finally hear someone officially say that classes were cancelled. What’s the answer administration? Why couldn’t the students be given a straight answer as to whether the college was open or not. Is this typical red tape B.S. that freshman are to look forward to next year? The students are waiting for an answer. Next time I hope that both students and faculty will use a little common sense when travelers’ warnings are out. Common Sense, that’s a little hard to have ... I suppose. Dear “Low” Involvement by JOANIE SCOUTEN With one semester down, and one more to go. I wonder how many can see. and how many really know. Time is passing by so fast. Bringing more problems today than in the past. While walking along the campus grounds one night when there was no one around, lacking students.....lacking sounds. An empty campus, I saw silent and dead. where students had gathered, and books were read. Here friends were met and life was shared. students reached out, and also cared. Now one semester down, one more to go. can anybody see, does anybody really know? With time passing by us so fast, bringing more problems than in the past. Tonight there are no signs of living. no one’s reaching....no one's giving; While walking late along the campus grounds, observing a lack of students, . . . . a lack of sounds. with involvement unable to be found. I’m sure this person knows who I'm talking to and I hope this reaches her. She needs help. I would hate to think that someone here on campus at this point in her education, is still low enough to STEAL. Weren’t you ever taught that stealing is wrong? Maybe I should have locked my locker—which I will do from now on—instead of putting my trust in you and others. If you are that much in need of $$,why not ask? I would lend it out; I have before to others. All I can ask is that you speak up Help Me! If Linus lost his blanket, would you help him find it? Well, I lost my security blanket last Friday (Feb. 5). It is about six feet long, gray, black, and white and is called a scarf. It also has black fringe. It was last seen when I was walking into the gym for the basketball game. It was first missed when I was walking out. The reason it is so valuable is I made it myself. If you will help Linus, help me. I am in the Crier office or return it to the Commons' office. Thank you.

Thousands of people are alive today — laughing children, young mothers, accident victims and the elderly, because blood was made available to cure them. How many times do you wish you could really do something to help save a friend’s life? This is your chance. Corning Community College will again sponsor a Blood Drive in the Gym on February 25th. Responsible and dedicated volunteers are needed. Anyone interested may sign up in the Commons. The goal of this semester’s blood drive is 225 units. Last November the drive netted 195 units of blood and had a total of 259 donors. The success of this drive lies with YOU. The goal can be met and possibly surpassed.

The moon at this time is between its first quarter and its half a dollar. The morning stars are Jupiter. Venus, Lassie, and Bullwinkle. The evening star is as always Big John Wayne. Pisces is probably the sexiest of all Birth Signs (if two dead fish turn you on — well then, it’s all right). Nothing daunts a panting Pisces. Piscesian men have been known to walk 38 miles just to whisper sweet nothings in a librarian's ear. Men born under this sign are sweet and gentle with the opposite sex and excell at swindling old maids and widows. Girls bora under this sign might get squashed! (sorry about that). A Pisces female is romantically inclined especially when seeing Daffy Duck or Elmer Fudd cartoons. Piscesian girls have very trim, lithe, well-formed gums. A Pisces young lady is open and sharing, especially if you buy her a beer or two! All people under this sign have a high mercury content. A Pisces is a happy individual usually giggling even at traffic tickets, volcanos, bankruptcy, and four years of bad crops. Unfortunately society does not reap its fullest from the Pisces-born, because so many slip into obscurity before they drop out of third grade. If YOU are a PISCES (tough luck, baby!) you don't have a lucky number (which serves you right. Your lucky star burnt out 1600 years ago. Your lucky color is puce.

Don’t get involved, it’s their problem, (besides tickets for a closed circuit viewing of them cost $8.75). Also don't cry over spilt milk and watch your spelling. WEDNESDAY: Love makes the world go ’round and 'round for you today. A teaspoon of baking soda should help. Buy a giraffe today. Today is a very good day to do something flippant. Toss a few coins in the air. WARNING — avoid gunfire in the bathroom. (and if you see him in the living room pay close attention). THURSDAY: Great day to elope with a new acquaintance. Or even an old one. if you can. WARNING—watch out for low flying asafetida bags before lunch, or if you have time help a swallow land at Capistrano. Buy another giraffe, the one you bought yesterday is getting lonely. FRIDAY: CAREFUL — make no hasty moves today. You'll probably be evicted soon any way. Expect a BIG surprise. The hotel where you took those towels will sue. (they didn't find out about the sofa and that lamp). A final message for today ... Be free and open and breezy! Enjoy life!

JOIN THE CRIER STAFF by JAMES LYTRAS The exhibition of oil paintings now being featured in the Small Lounge entitled “Aspectos de Es-pana" represent part of the work done by CCC’s Professor of Art. John Runyon, during a sabbatical stay and study in Spain. The works, thirty in all. are divided into four categories; The Land. The Sea, The Mood and The People. The different styles of the works are as varied as the categories. “Spring Sunday," a selection from under the heading of The Land, uses contrast techniques in both shapes and color. Stark geometric figures are melted together with softer curving lines for a contrast that is caught by the eye immediately. The eye. however, is led around the canvas by the lines, into a larger area of sky which, perhaps, may be too large. The area creates an effective depth for the painting but at the same time seems to press down the landscape at the lower half of the painting. The dominant use of yellow with small portions of green and red give the work its warm quality. “Red Sails, San Antonio,” a selection from the heading The Sea, is a unique example of texture in a work of art. The paint is spread onto the canvas with a pallet knife and creates a mosaiclike form. The figures, primarily sails, are easily spotted and there is a good balance between the background and the figures. The paint is not spread uniformly but even this can become repetitious if the eye dwells upon it too long. Selections from the category The Mood feature some of the most stunning works in the exhibit. Paintings such as "The Christ of Graffitti," “Hand and Foot,” "Imploratorio." and “Catharsis II" offer much food for thought to the viewer. "Catharsis II" a work depicting the Crucifixion in the palm of a hand, is beautifully balanced with figures not only in the palm, but on the fingers also. The lines of the hands create a depth which brings the eye into focus on the scene and brings one closer to it The only disappointment I have in this category is the work “Futile Bonds." The shapes are rigid and practically all the same, creating a boring repiti-tion. The entire painting remains very flat and two-dimensional and a large, empty, negative space on the left creates an unbalance. There is some contrast between the directions of the figures and the colors, but this does not come out to the viewer at all. Selections from the category of The People consist of portraits influenced by the facial characteristics of Spanish peasants. One such work, entitled "Flamenca.” is a portrait of a woman with face and background done in deep reds. The darker values of the facial features are brought out by these varying dark shades and creates a rich depth which draws the viewer to the face (especially the eyes) and leads the eye around to take in every feature. Mr. Runyon’s exhibit provides the viewer with the chance to experience the aesthetic beauty of art, its varied techniques, and its power of communication.

Thai and American troops invaded Laos in an attempt to cut off the Ho Chi Minh trail. Considered by the allies as the biggest offensive of the Indochina war. Operation Dewey Canyon II began under a blanket of total news blackout. Reporters in South Vietnam were forbidden by military authorities from leaking word about preparations for the invasion. When the operation begun at 7:00 a.m. on Feb. 4. newsmen were barred at gunpoint from accompanying the invasion force into Laos. The United States denies that American ground troops are being deployed in the invasion, which is aimed at preventing supplies from reaching liberation forces in South Viet Nam. Military P.R. men posted signs at the border between South Viet Nam and Laos reading "Warning, No ABORTION COUNSELING, INFORMATION AND REFERRAL SERVICES Abortions up to 24 weeks of pregnancy are now legal in New York State. There are no residency restrictions at cooperating hospitals. Only the consent of the patient and the performing physician is required. If you think you are pregnant, consult your doctor. Don’t de lay. If you choose to have an abortion, early abortions are simpler and safer. Abortions should be performed by Board certified obstetricians and gynecologists, with Board certified anesthesiologists attending, in fully licensed and accredited general hospitals. You should not have to pay exorbitant charges for any of these services. If you need information or professional assistance, including immediate registration into available hospitals, telephone The Abortion Information Agency, (212-873-6650), which has helped counsel and place more than 22,000 women for safe, legal hospital abortions. The total costs at good facilities range as follows (in-patient hospital service, except as noted) : For D & C: Pregnancy up to 9 weeks, $285-$310 (out-patient hospital service); up to 12 weeks, $385-$410; up to 14 weeks, $560.

Personnel Beyond This Point!” But whether or not U. S. ground troops are in Laos, it is still an American invasion. The invasion force waited for President Nixon’s “order” to enter. American Helicopters and American armored personnel carriers brought the invaders into Laos. American pilots and gunners manned the copters and American B-52's and fighter bombers "softened up” to approach the invading army. Several Americans have been killed — helicopter pilots and military advisers who were aboard the downed helicopters. But there is every likelihood that the troop-carrying helicopters are in fact bringing in fairly large numbers of U. S. military advisers who will fight on the ground. An indication of this is the almost fanatic length to which the military has gone to cover up news of the actual military operation. An NBC cameraman who managed to get on board a Laos-bound helicopter during the invasion had his camera taken from him and thrown out of the craft. The military has never before been so concerned about newsmen taking pictures of a military action. The Neo Lao Haksat. the Laos Patriotic Front, says that sub-stancial numbers of Americans have accompanied the invading forces. The U. S. claims that the invasion will be limited in “time and space" to the North Vietnamese sanctuaries, and the supply line along the Ho Chi Minh Trail. But by the American logic, the invaders can move against the rest of liberated Laotian territory. and by the logic of moving against all sanctuary, the invasion of Laos could travel up the Ho Chi Minh Trail, past the 17th parallel, and into North Viet Nam itself. How nothing happens is beyond me. Today I did nothing because I had nothing to do. Maybe that is how I ended up doing what I did. One has to be careful. I went to the beach. In Brazil the beaches come down out of the sky like bicycle chains. Naturally the first thing one does is check for snorks. Snorks have grand teeth the size of apple trees and swim around pretending they are crocodiles. I never thought much about snorks before but they turned out to be something just like everything else. You have to keep your eyes peeled for different occasions these days. I followed the water with my eyes until it quit and didn't spy a single snork. Instead, right there before my very eyes were fifteen thousand purposes having afternoon tea and cakes on the crest of an old wave. Being somewhere else one learns to accept somethings as a part of everything else. One time, Harry. Harry, and I were lounging in the plaza waiting for our resemblance when a man fell dead. 15 minutes later a man stepped over him, got into his car, and drove off. Harry says to me. “Harry,” he says, “do you think he's dead or just dying.” "Harry.” I says, "I don’t know.” By this time the ice cream emperor had set up his stand. A small crowd gathered, sucking their ice. Another man was getting money out of the dead man’s pants to buy him a ticket for the lottery. Harry, Harry, and I had another orange. We never did find out if that dead man won the lottery. Harry doesn't think so. Anyway, as I was saying, the one thing I’m least uncertained about in this world is the relationship between snorks and purposes. It causes me great consternation. In all my years I have seen many a purpose with a snork but not a single snork with a purpose. Author Unknown OPPOSE WAR? VIOLENCE? DISCRIMINATION?

Just a little note to all who are in doubt about Cap. He’s alive and well and watching. Note to Stanley R. Strzepek— I too. am in favor of controlling one’s sexual appetite, however, celibacy does not work for everyone. And the rhythm method is nowhere near perfect. Those people who wish to indulge in premarital sex. I feel, should be free to do so. and should be permitted to use an effective birth control method. You must realize that the sex act is a totally natural thing, it is not a perverted desire on the part of some degenerates. As for the abortion question, all I know is that is a legally sanctioned thing, and the law does not deal with the morality of it. And—"if everybody in this forlorn world would observe the church’s doctrine on sex and birth control,” I think the world would be wall-to-wall people with too many hang ups and too many unhappy marriages. A word to the interested, according to literal biblical translation, “Peace on Earth, good will toward men.” is a misquote. Surprise, surprise! The real wording is— “Peace on earth toward men of good will.” So. people, be of good will, and you will be at peace. Consider this — Every day, I see this campus as a high school more and more. The kids from East and West and Horseheads Hi, come up here in the morning for classes, go home for lunch, come back up for more classes and then go home again. They are missing an important part of college life!!! This college offers many excellent courses, but the formal education is only half of the college education experience. The kid is supposed to be away from home in order to taste what the real world is like. He actually NEEDS to have this experience in order to judge his fitness for the big struggle that life really is. He ain’t gonna get it here, that’s for damn sure!!' Here, he has the same friends he had in high school without much of an opportunity to meet new and different people from different areas with different life styles and thinking patterns. He really doesn’t graduate from high-school! He's a few years older but he's not one measurable degree wiser. (I’d like some student reaction to this please.) PEACE Heed the Words. CAP Women’s Liberation The first major coming together of women since August 26th will occur at a Women’s Liberation Conference to be held on March 6, 7 at the Barnard and Columbia University campuses, 116th Street & Broadway. The regional conference, which is primarily being organized by Columbia and Barnard’s Women’s Liberation groups, is sponsored by the Women's Strike Coalition. All interested women — junior high school, high school, college, professional. Third World, and paid and unpaid (housewives) working women — are urged to attend the conference itself as well as the planning sessions preceding it. A wide range of workshops will be held covering all vital issues of the women’s movement. Final plans for workshops will be made at planning meetings, the first of which will be held at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, February 9 in St. Paul's Chapel at Columbia University. Suggested workshops, thus far, include: third world feminism: jr. high school and high school organizing; women and the war: sex role typing: abortion and contraception: the high school social scene: consciousness raising groups; child care centers; women's studies programs: women and the professions. The Women’s Strike Coalition, 360 West 28th Street, sponsors of the conference, grew out of the mass march on August 26th — the 50th anniversary of women’s suffrage. Women press are invited to participate in and/or cover the conference. Drama Club Presents The Corning Community College Drama Club will present “An Evening of Theatre II" on March 31 and April 1. Performances will be held at 8 p.m. both evenings at the Commons Building on campus. The two works to be presented each evening are Samuel Beck- et’s "Endgame," directed by Thomas Martin, and Eugene Ionesco's "The Bald Soprano.” directed by Dottie Dee. Advising the drama club are Mr. Michael Gilmartin, Instructor of English, Mr. Henry Moon-schein. Assistant Professor of English, and Dr. William Thompson. Professor of Speech. JOE’S As usual everything is going downhill. (I know because I just asked my favorite tree.) Nobody seems to be able to get it together. Nobody wants to. Corn-ing is a huge colossal drag. Business dies and Fred and the rest of the creeps at the pool hall just chalk up and pour coke into each other’s coat pocket. The rest of the clowns just walk around and pat each other on the back and creem their pants about past achievements they almost achieved, but never had the balls or the intellect to pull off. Everybody (well, at least 10 I can think of) knows this is nowhere. What you’ve got to do to survive is to stand around with your thumb up your ass (take that you obscenity - hating, Nixon-loving pig sucking, erections) and close your senses off to the stinking reality and maybe puke a few times to prove you’re one of the gang. Far out with a capital shit. And finally if you can’t find your legs you’re either gonna end up a wino. a dinosaur, a college prof, a staple gun, or a jar of shaving cream, all of which have an amazing facility for covering up the mistakes of the fools and idiots who lead us.

The presentation will take place in the East High School auditorium at 7:30 p.m.. Dates and times available for work Right On! Right on to one of the most beautiful things that has been done at any basketball game since the history of Coming Community College. I am talking about the playing of the Black National Anthem at the last basketball game. To me, Coming has made history twice this week. Once for the score of 124-46 over Cortland Tompkins College and the playing of the Black National Anthem. Finally after several games of sitting down by the black students while the American National Anthem was being played: the black students got together and had the Black National Anthem taped. Corning is improving, slowly but still improving. Right On! Another beautiful happening was the Afro-American Society's keg. I was glad to see such a turnout for the keg. It was a great improvement over the last keg given by the Afro-American as far as attendence. The band (Raw Soul) was great and the people looked like they were enjoying themselves. Truly a great happening for the Afro-American Society. (Which I feel is more together) and the college of Corning. But neither one of these things could have happened without some effort. So I say RIGHT ON! to the people who are the "do-ers" of the little city called Corning Community College. AMANI Thompson E. Williams II (Toodie) Jeanie Fudala Richard Biesanz P.S.

OHIO (LNS) On Feb. 3., even before the invasion of Laos actually leaked onto the front pages of American newspapers over 1000 students at Kent State came out to demonstrate against the expanded war. These students were defying a ban on demonstrations, which is only a part of a new legal campaign against radical activity on Ohio campuses. The rally began with the ringing of the Victory bell—the bell that was sounded last May 4 to announce the demonstration that ended in the killing of four students by the National Guard. Carrying Viet Cong, new nation and Black Nation flags, the crowd marched to the administration building where they asked to speak to the Kent State president. White. They intended to present the list of demands which brought many American campuses together last May: bring all troops home now, free all political prisoners, and end all military research on campuses. When White refused to speak to the crowd, the American flag came down from the flagpole and the three new flags took its place. The administration building was then painted with revolutionary slogans, and a box was burned symbolically at the site of the ROTC building which students burned down last year. Reporters from Kent State indicate that the 25 Kent students indicted by an Ohio Grand Jury for provoking the National Guard last May 4 will now be joined by as many as 50 defendants, with the indictments coming down on the "Ringleaders’’ of this new protest against the war. Seminar The first of the Interdisciplinary Faculty Seminars for the Spring semester at Corning Community College will be held on Wednesday. February 17 at 1 p.m. in the Nursing, Science & Technology Building in Room 137. The seminars were organized to promote mutual exchange of views, and new developments in the various fields within the academic community of the college. However, the sessions are open and members of the community are welcome to attend along with students and members of the college community. Mr. Kenneth Keith. Associate Professor of Physics at the College. will open the series with a talk entitled "Collisions of Nothing and Particles Gone," in which he will explore the processes of pair production and particle-antiparticle annihilation. Mr. Keith is completing work toward his masters degree in Engineering Science at Clarkson College of Technology. He is chairman of the New York State Western Zone Association for two-year college physics teachers. Composition To Mother Her picture hangs on the wall. She always came when I cried. "Mom!

It has a golden frame And though it looks the same She never left me. MOMENTS: 3 A marine recruiter was on campus the other day. He didn’t have a very enjoyable time. It seems that a few people came up to his little recruiting booth and "hounded” him. They "hounded" him in the large lounge too. It was said that he was “hounded" so much, he didn't have a chance to speak with any interested men who wanted to find out more about the marines. So now some people want the marine recruiter to have his own little room where he can interview all the men who are interested in the marines. Then, if he wants, he can hold a question and answer session in the large lounge for everyone on campus. This is to prevent any future hounding. The United States is now in Laos. Where, as in Cambodia and Vietnam. the innocence is being drained, nature is being destroyed, and prided cultures are becoming extinct. God bless the "Hounds."

I cannot in desperation see What drives and dreams encompass thee To turn thyself from His crafted certainty To an uncrafted doubt. Today are you too dark or light Too full or thin; loose or tight And is thy apparel’s color wrong or right? Are you the ruler of your frame Or the subject of one selfish game For glances, stares and petty fame? Between the banks of decision On life’s stream You cross with blind vision From natural to fake; From perfection to fake: And are no longer real but fake. You transformed creation— Unmarked with flaw— Into a radiant emulation Revealing mistake upon mistake. I’d state you to be mad To clad thyself with cheap array But that would deny your say.

C. C. C. set a new school record for most points scored in one game. Leading scorer Jim Herritt with 25 points, helped turn Tompkins-Cortland Community College every way Sports Car Club Sunday. February 21, is the date when the campus Sports Car Club will host an ice gymkhana. What’s A GYMKHANA?? The sports car hobbyist may prefer running his stock street sports car in a club-conducted gymkhana, which is a test of driver adeptness and car maneuverability rather than brute speed. Variations of gymkhana are called slaloms and auto-crosses. A gymkhana is usually conducted on an opening parking lot or more rarely, in a field. This kind of event is probably the fastest growing of all sports car activities. Women as well as men participate. All find that testing themselves against a clock, in a limitless range of maneuvers, dissipates frustration, and if clock time is good, produces a very fine sense of achievement. Perhaps one of the appeals of this sport car club activity is its great practical application to out motorized way of life. What you learn about handling a car in a gymkhana has direct application to highway driving, shopping, and traffic-jam finageling. That you are a better and safer driver for it is testified by the fact that all the world’s police driving schools are, in effect, gymkhanas. The event scheduled for February 21. will begin with registration at 10:00 a.m. Registration will be held in the Classroom Building. Spectators are welcome and can view the event from the Classroom Building. The gymkhana will be held regardless of weather conditions. Snow tires, studded tires, and regular tires are permitted, but but loose. From the first jump ball to the last basket Coming had the game well in hand. The rest of the execution squad consisted of Warden Smith with 22 points, little lightning Larry Ran-sey with 17. cool breeze Ron Nash with 16, the ladies man Joe Paganelli with 13, mean machine Jim Dennard with 12, and every place at-once Dave Hepburn with 10, and finally ending with John McCrae with 9. I believe that was one game in which Coach Wayne Kenner wasn't afraid to see how the gym looked when a basketball game is in session. Keep up the good work Barons. C.C.C. Slips By Monroe The Barons did it again last Thursday. Feb. 11, when they edged by Monroe 62-60 at C. C. C. Led by Coming’s “man-of-the-wind" Steve Nash with 25 points and a tight defense, we were able to squeeze a victory from Monroe. A victory that looked more than once like it wasn’t going to come too easy. With the atmosphere charged to the saturation point, Coming pulled through.

It’s on the same list that includes sword fighting with Zorro, swearing at the pope, swimming with a pool of piranna. asking Helen Keller if things are "looking” up, and playing golf with Spiro Agnew. Last week, amid such events as an earthquake. moon walks, and the Pills-bury Bake Off, Broome Tech and Delhi threw their wrenches into the Corning wrestling machinery. And the machinery broke down. But only temporarily. The once-beaten irrepressible Red Menace was suddenly the twice-beaten, once-tied, not so irrepressible Red Menace. They are still, however, the Red Menace. A couple of matches does not destroy a team. One of the exciting aspects of athletic competition is the "upset." When the underdog surprisingly and dramatically beats his superior to the punch, even loyal partisans secretly cheer. It’s good for sport. Not so good for records. Let’s talk about the sport and forget the records. You lose a couple of matches and tie another and people start saying. "Maybe this Coming team isn’t as good as we thought." Don't you believe it. even for a minute. Man for man, Corning is the best team in Region HI. Pat Bames and Eric Knuutila have the necessary ability and confidence to handle any opponent. Dan Bun-ner is quick and calculating. When it comes to pure slickness, Doug Rutter is unequaled. Steve Franzese and Phil Schwieger combine raw strength with refined skill. Dave Manchester’s mat excellence can defeat any one. Fierce determination and intense pride of success make Roy Guarino hard to beat. Heavies Bill Fanning and Mike Carver get better with each appearance. Ken Reed adds an extra note to an already excellent score. Put all these merits together on one team, and you end up with a good squad. A very good squad. So if anyone tells you that the Menace is slipping, try not to laugh. It will only make him feel worse. When the results of the Region III tournament here at Coming Feb. 27 are tallied up. then you can laugh at him. Because Coming will have proved that they have not slipped. Not by a long shot.
