Volume XI—Number 20 CORNING COMMUNITY COLLEGE March 21, 1972 Tuition Dilemma: Corning Aid Deadline April 1 SUNY Tuition Soars Drastically By VICKI ZELDIN CRIER Capital Correspondent SUNY tuition for state residents will rise to $650 for freshmen and sophomores and $800 for juniors and seniors this summer according to Chancellor Ernest L. Boyer. Fees for graduate students will also be affected by the hike. Graduate students will pay $400 more a year, thus bringing their tuition to $1200. Students in professional programs — medical, dental and pharmaceutical — will be charged $1,600, also an increase of $400. The Chancellor, in announcing the Trustee's decision, termed the tuition hikes a “.do-it-yourself” method for helping to finance SUNY. Boyer claimed that the increases were designed on an ability to pay concept. While admitting that the tuition differential for lower and upper classmen “is- new to my knowledge and has no precedent,” Boyer defended the move by claiming that “two years of post high school education is basic .. . ” He also contended that it costs more to educate upper classmen and that students who continue stand to gain more economically and should therefore pay for it. A combination of tuition waivers—granted by SUNY—State University Scholarships — also given by SUNY—and Scholar Incentive aid will help to offset the increased tuition costs. Students whose families’ have net taxable incomes of less than $2,000 will pay no tuition. Students whose families have net taxable incomes between $2,000 and $12,000 will pay no more than $100 above present charges at the undergraduate level and not over $150 at the upper-division level. Students from families with net taxable incomes between $12,000 and $20,000 will pay $550 at the lower division level and $700 at the upper division level. A student whose parents earn more than $20,000 will pay the full tuition. As a result of the tuition hike, SUNY is estimated to generate some $20 to $30 million in revenue. After provisions for scholar aid are made, SUNY expects to have a remaining sum of some $18 - $20 million. If the legislative approval is received, this sum will be used to bolster new and already existing programs. Boyer hopes to be able to increase enrollment for next year by 1,000 thus bringing total number of new students at SUNY to 5,600. He also hopes to increase aid to EOP and to disadvantaged students and to help the upstate and downstate medical centers and the new health sciences center at Stony Brook. The new funds, if approved by the legislature, will also go to bolster library support, maintenance and repair programs and summer school sessions. All three of these areas were considered in critical trouble because of a lack of sufficient funds from the governor’s $481 million “hold the line budget.” What's Inside and where to find it Money Problems .

At Corning Community College, there is a great need on the part of many students, according to Mrs. Marjorie Chambers of the Financial Aid Ofice. Mrs. Chambers outlined some of the programs through which students may acquire financial assistance at Corning Community College. This year, the Financial Aid Counselor at Corning Community College held a series of evening financial aid workshops for the parents and students in the three-county college service area. The primary purpose of the workshops was to teach the participants how to fill out the Parents’ Confidential Statement and also acquaint them with the financial aid that is available at Corning Community College. The key to financing a college education is careful planning, she said. The student and parents should start by making a realistic estimate of the expenses for a school year. Local students at CCC will be faced with the following approximate costs per year: Tuition, $420; fees and assessments, $102; books and materials, $150; for a total of $672 per year (2 semesters), or approximately $336 each semester. Tuition and fees at Corning are payable twice a year and bills will be sent by the Business Office. Payment for the first semester is due in August and in December for the second. Although individual expenses vary, the College considers $1,365 as an average base cost for the total tuition and living expenses of a student living at home, and $2,115 for a student living away from home. The parents should accept responsibility for providing financial support to the extent they are able, Mrs. Chambers notes. The following federal programs help remove the financial barrier to education for those who can demonstrate financial need: National Defense Student Loans (NDSL) can be awarded to qualifying students who demonstrate need. These loans are interest-free until after completion of college plus a nine-month grace period. Thereafter, they are subject to a three per cent interest rate, and repayment of principal may be extended over a 10-year period. Under certain conditions, borrowers are entitled to partial cancellation. In other cases the full amount plus interest must be repaid. This is a federal loan that is repayable through the institution from which the loan is dispersed. Educational Opportunity Grants (EOG) are awarded only to those applicants who meet the below $9,000 family income standards established by the Federal government. Any incoming freshman who properly applies and qualifies for federal aid will be considered for an EOG, according to the available funds. The amount a student receives depends upon his need and must be matched by other scholarship funds, NDSL, or College Work-Study Program. College Work-Study Program (CWSP) is to increase the number of part-time jobs for college students who demonstrate financial need. A student may be employed for up to 15 hours a week while classes are in session. This federal program demands that 80 per cent of the students receiving this assistance have a family income of below $7,500. Considerable attention is directed to securing employment suitable to the student’s studies in order to attain both a financially rewarding and vocationally oriented experience.

Everybody is here, but it seems that there are those who have lost their cars at the college entranceway, which has acquired the name “Death Valley”. These potholes are gradually dissolving into one voluminous canyon, filled with gravel and stray car parts. Remember when 4-wheel drive was only for mountain vehicles. Editors Notes: The Flim-Flam Man To Bus or Not to Bus? By JAMES WILLIS, Managing Editor The controversy over busing school children to thwart racial imbalances in our educational systems has exploded into what may be the number one campaign issue in the upcoming elections. It is evident that a vast majority of Americans are against busing. This is typified by recent Congressional actions to stop forced busing. While the Senate remains in a quandry over the issue, the House has been quite adamant in its antibusing position. Regardless of what Congress decides, John Q. Public does not want his children carted off to another school that may be miles away from home. The antibusing populous is heavily dominated by whites, while pro-busing advocates are predominately black. Neither side is particularly ecstatic over the idea of sacrificing their children simply for the sake of desegregation. Legislators have to understand that resistance to forced busing will only augment mistrust and hatred between and among the races. In this instance, the ends cannot justify the means. Masses of people cannot be forced to integrate in harmony. It has to stem from individual efforts that will take time and patience. Those who are in favor of busing are not concerned so much with racial integration as they are with educational equality. Education in black schools is dramatically substandard to that in schools which are predominately white. Busing will not remedy this inequity. What is needed are bonuses to attract quality teachers to the poorer districts. These bonuses can and should be supplied by federal grants. Substandard housing in ghetto areas has to be alleviated as well. Quality in education and housing in the ghettos must be brought up to a point where it is equal—not more, nor less—to that which exists in the more affluent communities. Busing for integration in the schools would prove to be ineffectual and, after all, it is not the real issue at hand. This is my opinion. By THOMAS MARTIN EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Those wonderfully colorful days circa 1900 were, with the possible exceptions of the Roaring 20’s and the Fabulous 50’s, the most interesting time in this nation’s history. Band stands in the park, bicycles everywhere, county fairs, no exhaust-pollution, care free, troubleless, prominent times. Along with little bake shops, quaint general stores, and doctors who actually made house calls (in fact, depended on them), was the touring flim-flam man: the con-man. His antics were peculiarly clever, his manner deceiving, and his charm unflappable. Under the right circumstances, which included just about any, the flimflam man could talk the pants right off you. Ingenious games of chance were his major forte. With an amiable grin and properly slicked mustache, the flim-flam man would weave a tale, gain your friendly trust, and then ride away on your only horse. No situation was too heated, no man too intelligent, no observer keen enough to hinder the flim-flam man’s conniving plots. By no means is the flim-flam man a dying institution in America. In fact, the seventies are the fertile grounds for the most clever of all flim-flam men: the politician. Politicians, through no particular fault of their own (that’s right, we practically demand it of them), are the slickest of all con-men. We should not concede that they have to be, but we must concede that they are. These latter-day twentieth century flim-flammers have all the characteristics of their forerunners, and a brand new set all their own. Today’s flim-flam man, the politician, has the peculiarly clever antics, the deceiving manner, and the unflappable charm of his predecessor. More than that, he possesses neatly trimmed hair, general eloquence, and a two-hundred dollar suit. A toothy smile, the product of a talented dentist, adorns his two-faced countenance.

The modern flim-flam man’s bag of tricks includes the talent of talking his way out of virtually any situation. If the times say war, he says war. If the times say peace, he becomes a dove. When a movement arises for welfare reform, he offers to lead it. In the event of welfare reform coming under fire, he becomes its greatest critic. It is our elected flim-flammer’s specialty to adapt to the dictates of the moment. After all, ideals are a dime a dozen (current inflationary trends, however, would suggest that they are probably twenty-five cents a dozen now). Among his other possessions are large sums of wool which he craftily pulls over voters’ eyes. His tongue has a strange forked appearance, and he often speaks out of the side of his mouth. After much careful shopping, he comes up with a civic-minded wife who gives him All-American children, usually daughters. Of course, it would be an oversight to forget the one thing our modern version has that the turn-of-the-century con-man lacked. Money. Heaps and gobs and piles of money to buy T.V. time, to buy advisors, to buy supporters, to buy nominations, to buy elections. With the right amounts of money, today’s flim-flam man can walk right into the White House, kick off his Thom McAn shoes, put on his slippers, and try to run the world’s greatest country. Since it is probably our fate to be committed to flim-flam politicians, we should develop a keener buyer’s eye. Beware of the self-made man types, the lawyer types, and the businessman types. Watch carefully for those glittering packages that contain worthless merchandise. As long as we are buying candidates this year, choose your goods carefully . . . and don’t get hoodwinked by a twentieth-century, corporate flimflam man. This is my opinion.

The coat is a midi with brown and cream colored fur trim. It has a dark spot on the right hand side of the coat. Would appreciate very much its return. Means a great deal to me.

Turn Off the Piece Of Trash To the Editor: My fellow patriotic Americans and C.C.C, students. Dear Peasants, We must unite (for united we stand, divided we fall) to heretofore insure that we will no longer be subjected to such degredation as the Hoffman cut, “Wake Up America” on the campus radio Thursday, February 17, 1972 a day that shall live in infamy. Hoffman’s amazing rendition of the “Star Spangled Banner” was in such bad taste that it reminded us of my youth when we used to shoot records with 22's. We are all for constructive criticism, but this kind of nauseous, subliminal trash should be deposited in the nearest garbage can, taken and buried in your local neighborhood dump. Abbie Hoffman is a jerk. Sincerely yours, Mark Rogers Roger White Chris Dennis Decries Editorial To the Editor: Without a doubt,, the most important man on this campus is Jim Willis. The Managing Editor of the Crier, Willis, has single-handedly decided that the student body should boycott classes because of the deplorable conditions of the road off the campus. What a remarkable person he is to decide the fate of the populace. In his hands (so he thinks) rests the decision of whether or not to take action against the college for the condition of a county-owned road. Sure, the road is terrible and I agree that something should be done about it. But, my good Samaritan, you’re not in high school any more. The little lambs aren’t going to follow you down your path. People here are grown-up enough to Corning People Letter to the Editor: Corning Community College is just full of great people. I think an awful lot of congratulation should go to our GREAT wrestlers. They almost killed themselves for C.C.C. They cared last weekend and they deserve a lot of credit. Marc Gillespie is simply fabulous — along with Emad Faddoul. They have been terrific all year and are real superstars in this region. Then you have Pat Barnes who somehow, and I am sure no one knows how, placed 3rd. How? A separated shoulder is one of the most painful things that could happen to a bone on your body, (according to a Corning doctor) and he placed third. How? Then Mark Donahue collapsed and after artificial respiration brought him around, he spent the night hospitalized. What spirit! This is simply great and Pat and Mark are also SUPERSTARS in this region. Thanks to the whole team — because this is only a little part of the great history of the 1971-1972 wrestling team at Corning. They deserve a lot of credit and everyone at Corning should be extremely proud of their fine devotion to our great school. Thanks fellows! The whole team and coach should be recognized for extreme greatness! A VERY PROUD STUDENT DAN GRAY think for themselves and can realize the adverse responses that would be directed at the college just to satisfy one of your whims. So, go ahead, Willis, make a sign, stand outside the campus stopping all the cars from entering. But, be careful. Someone might not stop for you.

Items were in different places than before as if they were trying to find something. I looked around and nothing was missing so I fell asleep. My landlord, came upstairs shouting my name, without knocking, without caring about my sleep at all. The names he called me were vicious and ugly, as he told me I’d better leave the house after he falsely accused me of events which did not exist. When I said he had no right to do this, he continued to call me vile names and he threatened he'd kick me in a most vulnerable area between my legs. When I went in my room to close the door he followed me, manhandling me, and trying to obviously frighten me. My rent is always on time, I am a good tenant but due to the fact I am a student, these people feel they can step all over you and there is nothing you can do about it.

By SHEILA FINNELL Every year there is a Commencement Committee set up to decide just what is going to be done for Graduation Weekend. In years past this committee has been composed of just faculty but last year’s committee decided they would like to see the weekend activities supervised by the graduating students and freshmen themselves. This is exactly what will happen this year. The committee started meeting three weeks ago on Wednesdays in Room 210 of the Commons Building. Again it is stressed that membership to this committee is open to both freshman and sophomores. Some of the items before the committee for consideration are: 1. an indoor or outdoor graduation ceremony. 2. the weekend activities —i.e. a luncheon or an informal beer blast and barbecue on Saturday. 3. whether or not to pay the price for a group picture. 4. if there should be a speaker and who he should be. 5. any other issues which might come up concerning Saturday and Sunday of graduation. In order for the committee to operate to the best of its ability student input is needed. The committee is looking for a broad spectrum of interests from the students if there is to be an enjoyable commencement weekend. The committee has recently compiled and distributed a personalized questionnaire to all graduating students. Returning these questionnaires is most important and everyone is asked to mail them back in addressed stamped envelopes. Members of the executive board are: Chairman Patrick Kelley, Secretary Irene Lucas (mailbox numbers 4H), Treasurer Suzanne Sweet (mailbox number 81 A), and advisors Nancy Andrews (Commons), Alice Ann Schuster (student personnel). Any questions and/or ideas anyone has may be referred to any of the above. Sick? Worried? Suffering the heartbreak of psoriasis? Tired of the same old grind? Had enough of juiceless and useless lemons? No? Forget it. page 3 Columnal Opinions Column, Left! America Without Nixon; It Can Be Done By B. B. HOLMSTOCK Soon this country's airwaves will be filled with the news and pictures of the conventions of the two major political parties. For five evenings our nightly rituals of television, commercials, and late late shows will be interrupted. For some people this week will be pure hell. Just think of it, some of the programs we will have to miss just because of those conventions. For other people the conventions will just mean finding new ways to waste time. Maybe taking in a few flicks, or going out to eat or maybe going bowling (all of which is great for the entertainment business) or people may just choose to go to bed early (which may be a disaster for planned parenthood). And believe it or not some people may actually watch the conven- tions and be interested in the runnings of the country. Before I was able to vote, the political conventions had little or no interest for me. But now I can vote and I realize that I now have a small say as to what goes on in this country. I realize that if I don’t work or at least vote, then I really don’t have the right to do all the bitching I have been doing these past few weeks. This summer will be a very important one for the youth of America. Eighteen to twenty year olds will for the first time have the right to help select the leader of their country. I sincerely hope that all those who are now eligible to vote will register, work for their candidate and party and most importantly VOTE! And remember "NIXON’S THROUGH IN 72!” Proficiency Examinations College proficiency examinations covering more than 25 subjects will be given May 4 and 5 in 15 testing centers throughout the state. Passage of the examination makes the candidate eligible for college credit in most colleges in the state, as well as tor meet certain requirements in teacher certification, foreign languages, nursing science, and health education sciences. Anyone is eligible to take the examinations which are given under the direction of the State Education Department. Testing centers for the examinations are: Albany, Alfred, Binghamton, Brookeville (Long Island), Buffalo, Canton, Cortland, Elmira, Chest Mobile Hempstead (L.I.), Jamestown, New Paltz, New York City, Plattsburgh, Rochester, and Syracuse.

Eve’s Rib By JOAN ROZENGOTA Today we’ll be hearing the strains of such songs as “When Irish Eyes are Smilin’.” January 30, thirteen Irish civilians were killed when British paratroopers fired on a civil rights demonstration in Londonderry, Northern Ireland. It is a day when everyone becomes Irish, even if his name is Powszechne. Killed were six civilians, a man and five women, and a 37 year old Roman Catholic army chaplain, when the IRA placed a bomb in an officer’s mess in southern England. Shillelaghs, stout and shamrocks are the order for the day, and if that stout does its stuff— we’ll all be seeing the “wee people.” Two hooded gunmen shot to death a member of the volunteer Ulster Defense Regiment in Us own home, and left his 11-year old daughter with a shot in the leg. Ah yes! St. Paddy’s Day. The day set aside to honor the land of Barry Fitzgerald and Pat O’Brien—the Emerald Isle, tinged with red and draped in black.

I We Promise Not to Rub You the Wrong Way. j By DR. JOHN ALLEN And PROF. JOSEPH OSCSODAL Question: How effective is the Intra-uterine device? Answer: Next to birth control pills which are virtually 100% effective, the IUD is the most effective method of contraception. IUD’s are in the range of 95-97% effective. They are a very convenient form of contraception because they require only a single insertion and no continuing attention except for occasional self - examination. IUD’S prevent pregnancy where it occurs: inside the uterus. They do not prevent ovulation, nor do they prevent conception: they prevent implantation by creating an unfavorable lining in the uterus so that the blastocyst disintegrates rather than implants and develops. Question: How safe are IUD’s? Answer: IUD’s are extremely safe. Only minor side effects exist such as irregular bleeding and uterine cramps or pelvic pain which may occur only during the first two or three menstrual cycles and tend to disappear after continued use. Girls who have a history of certain forms of heart disease, are suspected of being pregnant, or have a history of recent pelvic infection should not have an IUD inserted. Insertion is apt to produce temporary bleeding, cramps, or even fainting, and this happens more often in girls on CORNING CAMPUS Tuesday March 28 9-3 Fulfill Transfer Requirement $.85 Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association 50,000 JOBS SUMMER EMPLOYMENT CAREER OPPORTUNITY PROGRAMS The National Agency Of Student Employment Has Recently Completed A Nationwide Research Program Of Jobs Available To College Students And Graduates During 1972.

Nuclear Wastes, “The Sun Can Take If* Washington (WCNS) — Dr. James R. Schlesinger, Chairman of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission says that the U.S. is “planning to phase out at Amohitka,” the site of last November’s controversial nuclear test. Schlesinger, speaking in an exclusive interview with WCNS, added that in ten years there could be more advanced ABM systems — “and not those represented by the Safeguard system. However, these are all dependent upon the success of the SALT talks.” The A.E.C. chairman discussed the problems of disposing of radioactive wastes. He said that we may someday have to load these materials aboard spacecraft and shoot them into the sun, where they would disintegrate. “Some people have thought of placing them (the radioactive wastes) on the moon,” Schlesinger said, "but that’s not fair to the moon. The sun can take it, I reckon.” Oscsodal to Hear Margaret Mead Mr. Joseph Oscsodal, Assistant Professor of Health Science at Corning Community College, has been invited to participate in the Fifth National Sex Institute meetings to be held March 16-18 in Washington, D.C.

These long-term, low interest loans and scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial need. During the 1971-72 school year, 169 students received National Defense Student Loans at CCC. The average loan was $558. Educational Opportunity Grants were awarded to 82 students and the average grant was $389. Ninety students have been employed on Work-Study each semester this year. Each student will earn approximately $300 per semester. Nurse Training Act Loans were awarded to 63 students with the average being $773. The Nursing Educational Opportunity Grants, awarded on financial need only, were awarded to 46 students and averaged $575. Questions and Answers Continued from page four serted by a physician and should be done so only after a complete physical and pelvic examination with pap smear and appropriate laboratory work. Girls should have a follow-up examination within six to eight weeks and be checked at least once a year thereafter. Pregnancy may occur in from two to five percent of the girls with HJD’s. Early diagnosis of pregnancy is necessary so those girls who want the pregnancy terminated will have time to have it done. For those who elect to carry the pregnancy, most authorities recommend that the IUD be left in place. Girls who become pregnant with an IUD in place have about a 40 - 50% chance of spontaneous abortion whether the IUD is left in place or removed. The national average for a spontaneous abortion in all pregnancies is about 15%. Bleeding and pain are the most common reasons for removal and discontinuation of this method. Menstrual periods tend to appear sooner, last longer and the flow is heavier with IUD’s than normally or with birth control pills. Spontaneous expulsion of IUD’s occur in 5 -10% of girls depending on the size and shape of the device used. IUD’s may be left in place in the uterus for indefinite periods of time. The ability to conceive returns almost immediately upon removal of the device. Nine out of ten girls will conceive within one year when such an attempt is made. The IUD is an excellent method of contraception, second only to the pill in effectiveness, relatively free from side effects and enjoys great patient acceptability. In contrast to the pill it does not have to be remembered to be taken, is always present, has no chemical or drug effect on the body and is reversible at any time with no lasting effect on fertility. Its insertion does cause more discomfort in -the girl who has never born a child than it does In the one who has had at least one baby. The initial cost is greater than the pill but its long term use is much less expensive. Law Enforcement Education Program grants are available for full-time, in-service law officers of local, State, or designated units of Federal government attending Corning Community College. Grants may cover the cost of tuition, fees, and books. The student must remain in the service of the law enforcement agency employing him for a period of two years or the grant must be repaid in full. A service that Corning provides for its students is the Emergency Fund Program. This temporary loan is interest free, if paid Within 30 days, for students who need emergency money and can provide evidence of extenuating circumstances, Mrs. Chambers states. This fund was established and is supported by gifts from the estate of the late Philip Scudder and the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs of Corning. The College also has a limited number of local scholarships which are awarded on the basis of academic achievement and financial need. Other sources of financial assistance students receive while attending CCC are: Social Security: A student is ordinarily eligible for Social Security benefits if either parent is retired, disabled or deceased. Benefits can be paid to an unmarried child until age 22 providing he is a full-time student. The Social Security Office can provide additional information. Veterans’ Educational Assistance (G.I. Bill): Educational assistance is available to veterans who have been released from service since January 31, 1955, and served at least 181 days on active duty. Complete information can be obtained from the Veterans Administration. Veterans’ Children Educational Assistance: Children of persons who died or received service-connected disabilities are eligible for educational assistance, administered through the Veterans’ Administration Office. Vocational Rehabilitation Grants: The State of New York, through the division of Vocational Rehabilitation, provides financial assistance for those students who qualify. The Elmira Rehabilitation Office can supply detailed information. The equivalent of one-half of the student body has requested or received financial aid in some form. Over 600 students have applied for New York Higher Education Assistance Corporation (NYHEAC) loans.

They are to be submitted to the Financial Aid Office at the College, where they will be processed and sent directly to the bank. Processing time is from four to six weeks; early applications receive faster service. A state - funded program that most Corning students are eligible to receive is Scholar Incentive. The program provides grants to all New York residents who demonstrate a capacity for full-time degree work. The awards range from $100 to $200 per year, depending on the net taxable family income. This program will probably change next year. As of February, 1972, to qualify for a Scholar Incentive award, a student must: a) be a legal resident of New York State for at least one year. b) be a citizen of the United States or file a statement of intent to become one. c) be enrolled for a minimum of 12 semester hours. d) have a combined family net taxable income exceeding $20,000. Application forms are mailed to eligible students and can be requested from the Regents Examination and Scholarship Center, 99 Washington Avenue, Albany, New York, 12210. Award notices are mailed to individual students. Checks are distributed by the College Business Office when received from the Regents Examination and Scholarship Center (usually late in the semester). In order to apply for the Federal aid programs available at Corning — NDSL, EOG, Work-Study, or Nursing Loans and Grants — the student is requested to fill out a CCC financial aid application and return it to the school. Each applicant must furnish proof of financial status by submitting to the College Scholarship Service each year a completed Parents’ Confidential Statement or Student’s Confidential Statement, on which eligibility is based. Until this statement is processed a Federal aid application cannot be valid. These forms are available from high school counselors or the Financial Aid Office at the College. If eligible, the student may be awarded a grant, a loan, a job, or some combination, depending on need. Federal funds are limited and early application by April 1. 1972, is advisable. Brochures and other information are available from Mrs. Chambers in the Financial Aid Office.

His columns for the Los Angeles Times Syndicate appear in some 450 newspapers from Enid, Oklahoma to Israel. Since January, 1949, when Buchwald began turning out his columns for the European (Paris) edition of the New York Herald Tribune, Buchwald has been entertaining readers with his spirited and sometimes irreverent comments on the celebrities and tourists who came and went on the European scene. Mr. Buchwald presently has 16 books to his credit, including 14 collections of bis columns and miscellaneous writings, two guides to Paris, and one novel entitled A Gift from the Boys.) I know no one will believe me, but you’re just going to have to take my word for it. I met a college student the other day who said that all he wanted out of life was success and financial security. He asked me not to use his name because he didn’t want to embarass his parents, so I shall call him Hiram. “Hiram,” I asked him, “Why did you decide to take this revolutionary attitude toward society?” “I don’t know exactly when it happened. I was like most of the rest of the students. I wanted to tear down the school, the society, the establishment. I was just another conformist, and I never questioned why I was doing the things that were expected of me.” “Then one day I thought to myself, ‘There’s got to be more to life than getting hit over the head by the cops.’ I looked around me and saw nothing but sheep. Every student was doing his thing because someone else had done his thing, and no one was doing or saying anything new.” “So you decided to drop out of the student movement and become a millionaire?" “Not at first. But I met this girl. She was really way out. She wore a cashmere sweater, a plaid skirt and she had on shoes and socks—I couldn’t believe anyone would dress like that. But I got to talking to her, and she started making sense.” “She said it wasn't enough to lock yourself in a building or go on a hunger strike in your dorm. If you really wanted to change the world, you had to make a lot of money, and then people wouldn't tell you what to do.” “That’s radical thinking,” I said. “Then she gave me a book by Prof. Horatio Alger, and I guess no book I have ever read has had more of an effect on me.” “Wasn’t Prof. Alger the one who first came out with the success syndrome theory?” “That’s he. His story floored me. I mean a whole new world opened for me, and I knew no matter what the consequences were and no matter what other people thought, I was going to work hard and become rich and successful. Life finally took on some meaning for me, and for the first time I felt like a free man.” “What did you do then?” "I discovered through this girl that there were other students on campus who felt the way I did—not many, but there were enough. So we formed a group called the ‘Students for a Successful Society.’ At first we had to go underground, because the administration wouldn't acknowledge us as a legitimate campus organization. But as more and more students heard about us, the SSS kept growing. We’ve been able to radicalize at least 200 students who would rather be rich than do their thing.” “What are some of your activities to get more supporters?” “We sell the Wall Street Journal on campus. We’ve opened a coffeehouse where you can read back copies of Fortune. We have a stock market ticker tape in the back of the room, and on weekends we have readings from the National Assn. of Manufacturers Bulletins.” “Hiram, I know this all sounds great. But is it possible that this success syndrome movement is just a passing fad?” “No, it isn’t. I know everyone calls us kooks and weirdos, but no one is going to push us around. We've already had inquiries from other campuses that want to set up similar chapters, and I wouldn’t be surprised in the next few years to see what is now a minority movement become the strongest force in the country. After all, nothing succeeds like success.” Record Review: By Mark Suliveres Crier Record Reviewer Consumers’ Guide No. 2 Here’s another consumers’ guide, things you might want to be on the lookout for the next time you go to hunt down some new albums. Most of these are records that you’ve heard before, maybe not. Have a look and see. Jefferson Airplane — Bless its pointed little head (RCA). I don’t know how familiar you are with the Airplane but you probably know that they’re one of the original West Coast Rock Bands. They sound really good on their records, but the ultimate Airplane trip is a live performance. This album captures Jefferson Airplane during one of their best flights ever; the concerts they gave during 1969-70. The band is together and Grace’s vocals have their usual sonic sting. It’s high energy music; played in a straightforward husky style that’s raunchy and kind of sexy too. Some of the tastier cuts on this l.p. are “The Other Side of This Life”, “Somebody to Love” and “It’s No Secret.” Shucks, they're all good. When you want to sit down to some very intense music switch on the controls and fly the Jefferson Airplane, it’s a very nice trip. Savoy Brown—Looking In (Parrot). Savoy Brown is one of those British blues bands that is built around a star guitarist (Kim Simmonds). They have gone through a lot of albums and a lot of changes but this album was put together during some of their better moments. It’s a laid back delivery of those limey Englishmen searching out the blues and “Sit-tin and Thinkin” is one of the best tracks on a mellow serving of funky music. Blue Cheer—Vincebus Eruptum (Phillips). Every once in a while you see a commercial on T.V. of a mother walking into her daughter’s room with the stereo blasting. She looks upset but before she flips out she goes to the medicine cabinet for the sponsor’s latest “super aspirin". The songs on this album give you a good example of the background music on the commercial that sent poor mom’s brain into the twilight zone. It’s loud and awkward, sort of like a suspension trying to do the twist. This album would make a lame birthday present. Grateful Dead — Workingman’s Dead (Warner Brothers). This band is followed by a small cult of people seeking an earthly form of nirvana. So, for you Dead Freaks among our readers, I leave the commentary on this album up to you. You know what the legend is all about, so grab your buddy and tell ’em what the real folk heroes are made of. Help spread the Dead. The Move—Looking On (Capitol). Englishmen are sometimes very peculiar people. Gadzooks is a word that Englishmen have been known to use from time to time. Well, there are some bands over there in England who make music that is odd as some of their verbal expression. The Move write and perform some of the best music you can find that goes into these strange realms. Picture this scene in your mind’s eye: a mad scientist slowly dissects a giant radioactive spirochete under black light. He is given musical accompaniment by the 3-man Neptune Symphony Orchestra. If you think that you can hear this orchestra very faintly off in the distance, then you have a complete and perfect understanding of this album by The Move. In case you can’t conjure up this description of their music, I’ll tell you what it consists of. Most of their songs have ACROSS 1. High cards 5. Male swan 8. Conend 12. Cover 13. Overwhelm 14.

Pronoun “Ides of March” Samothrace Fashion Show featuring Bridal Gowns, Jewelry, Sports Ware, Wigs MARCH 19, 3-5 in COMMONS CAFETERIA Sponsored by: Crystal City Bakery, Rockwell’s, Cleo’s, Kenn Hair Fashions, Flowers by Anne, -New Leaf, Jewel Box strange brooding lyrics supported by the dark rhythms of heavy bass guitar, savage jungle drums, and either a wailing lead guitar or medieval piano playing. These guys have a lot of class and some spunkier tunes on this record are “Brontosaurus”, “What”, and of course the title track. Try it, you’ll like it. Jeff Beck — Rough and Ready (Epic). This is Beck’s newest album after a layoff of about 3% years. As the title implies, he has been getting himself together during that time and once you get to the vinyl, you’re gonna hear some good things from the Sundance Kid of rock music, who also happens to be a very spacey guitar player. His new band really complements his guitar games and it won’t be too long before the Jeff Beck Group is back on top. Herbie Mann—Memphis Underground (ATCO). This album got a lot of airplay on underground FM stations in this country and consequently a lot of young people turned on to it. Herbie Mann plays flute and he doesn’t mess around. Memphis Underground was made by some solid musicians who can really get it on. They took Aretha's song, "Chain of Fools”, refried it, and came up with a very emotional arrangement of a classical rhythm and blues cut. “New Orleans" and "Battle Hymn of the Republic” are tightened up and you can just feel old Herbie and his band laying them down with a lot of soulful seasoning. All these tunes are good, but it’s the title track that gives this l.p. its killer status. “Memphis Underground” is a very mellow and moody opus that works up into a high energy jazz jam that puts a knowing smile of satisfaction on your face when it's all through. I suggest you get this album and a good set of head phones and a lot of volume. Put them all together and celebrate. the Crier /March 21, 1972 page 7 and the winner is... FILM CITY By JODY HART CRIER WORLD & NATIONAL REPORTER Senator George McGovern was most recently a top democratic contender in the New Hampshire primary. This is. in part, his life history. He was born on the 22nd of July in 1922 in a small town in South Dakota. His family was poor. His father was a minister. He grew up during the depression. He attended public school, got straight A’s. majored in history and was a champion orator and debator. Fifteen months after Pearl Harbor, he dropped his college studies and enlisted in the Army Air Corps. He won his wings and on the thirty-fifth mission his B-24 was hit by anti-aircraft fire. He nursed his plane back and crashed landed with all hands unharmed. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for valor. In the fall of '45 he returned to Dakota Wesleyan University where he received his degree and later a PhD in history. His ambition was to teach history and political science but later on he found more satisfaction in a full time job with the government. He moved up in the political scale until in 1956 and '58 he made 2 successful bids for a seat in the House of Representatives becoming the first elected democrat from that state since the thirties. He was unsuccessful in a senatorial race in 1960 but was appointed assistant to the president and became the first director of the Food for Peace Program. With an unexpected vacancy for a Senate seat in his state, McGovern was finally elected to the Senate in ’62 and again in ’68 with an overwhelming vote. He has held many select positions in the Senate and his written four books, his most recent, A Time of War — A Time of Peace. Senator George McGovern is a multi-issue candidate and by his record, is a well qualified candidate. His time in office has out-shown many other senators by his expounding initiative and leadership qualities. His record will show that in 1963 he was the first senator (a freshman none the less) to speak out against the war. However, his fight from that time has not warranted his efforts on other important issues. Senator McGovern is well renowned for his work in the study of the poor and hungry in America. He was chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs. His diligence and persistence led to the Food and Stamp Lunch Reforms. He is still fighting for the poor and hungry because, even today there are as many as 12 million Americans who go hungry at home and as many as 4 million children who go to school hungry. His proposals deal more with the domestic problems of America. Their diversity ranges from understanding in such universal matters as agriculture and human sociology. Senator McGovern’s proposal to meet the added cost of our domestic needs is that of cutting our military budget by 30 billion, by bringing about an end to the Vietnam war, reduction of troops in Europe and a cancellation of the ABM and other needless projects. Senator McGovern’s domestic policy does not cancel out an awareness on foreign policy. On the contrary, the senator feels the continued need to enrich ties started with such countries as Red China, and a new mobility with old ties. As a former special assistant to President Kennedy, Senator McGovern was able to travel world wide and has been well received because of his understanding in such universal matters as agriculture and human sociology. Manchester is about the largest town in New Hampshire with Concord, the capital, not far behind in size. Manchester was also the chosen site for most of the N.H. primary candidates. Both Senators McGovern and Muskie had their two headquarters and both close to a corner in the town’s main strip. Each candidate worked hard each day making as many as 14 appearances, holding rallies and other types of demonstrations to drum up votes. A common crowd getter most candidates had were the following of well known celebrities in their company. Senator McGovern’s entourage consisted of Shirley McClain and Leonard Nimoy, two pop attractions of the Hollywood scene and with a certain amount of political depth in contact with the senator. Other McGovernites were such political figures as Pierre Salinger, a former aid to both John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy. Also there was J. McCarthy, a Rep. from New York City. It was customary for each guest speaker to rap a few minutes until the following speaker arrived from the last appearance with the senator arriving last to speak and hear questions. Thus went the daily day of each candidate unless something out of the ordinary happened to break this routine and the only unordinary happening in New Hampshire at the time of the primary was the confrontation between Senator Muskie and Editor William Loeb. William Loeb is the editor and publisher of the Union Leader, the only state daily and Sunday paper. The statement that brought a loss of some of Muskie’s popular strength is a derogatory remark in reference to the French Canadians living in New England that he was supposed to have made. It was an unfortunate mistake of Senator Muskie’s to challenge William Loeb because it is a popular consensus of many New Hampshire people that William Loeb knows nothing. It was Loeb who editorially supported four losers in the last four primaries. In the two primaries involving the Kennedy’s he has been known to have made rather cutting remarks. He has been married quite frequently yet editorially he opposes multiple marriages. The fact that in this primary he was not very slanderous to his favorite target, the President, because the president had previously released former teamster Union Leader James Hoffa from prison, who had at one time earlier, bailed Editor William Loeb from jail. Despite the fact that Senator Muskie had slipped in the last couple of days in his campaign, he won the primary with 48% of the Democratic ballots. It was a moral victory for Senator McGovern. The margin was closer than anticipated. Most experts had given the senator next door a 50% or better chance. However, the victory is not due to Sen. Muskie’s personal mistakes and Sen. McGovern’s scraping pickup. It’s due to a hard working, personally sincere, people’s senator from South Dakota who has enough charisma to draw two and one half bus loads of earnest McGovern followers to canvass on any Saturday. Phasing Out Black College Termed “Suicidal” Birmingham, Ala., (I.P.) — Phasing out the black college — an organized institution which can effectively further black interests — would be idiotic, if not suicidal, declares former Harvard College Dean John Usher Monro. “Seen from inside the black community, our country, for all its creed of equal opportunity, is still, very deeply, a racist and oppressive society,” he stated, "and the blacks have pitifully few organizational arrangements for confronting it." Monro, who left his Harvard post of nine years in 1967 to become director of freshman studies at Miles College, a black college in Birmingham, made a strong case against a recent New York Times assertion that there is unchecked "an apparently spreading conviction — shared by both believers in integration and segregationists resigned to a new order — that black colleges have lost their chief reason for being and all but the strongest should be allowed to die.” “I would consider it foolish’ to think of dropping such institutions as the black community possesses on some theory that the white power structure institutions are going to do the necessary job for Black America. Our history as a society runs to the contrary.” The percentage of blacks attending black colleges has decreased, Monro said. In 1950, 80 per cent were enrolled in black institutions. In 1967-68, this had decreased to 50 per cent, and in 1970, of 450,000 black students in college, about 35 per cent were in predominately black schools, he stated. "But if you’re concerned not with percentages but with numbers of individual people, you see that we had 90,000 students in black colleges 10 years ago, 150,000 last year, and we face a projected 250,000 by 1978. The fact is, we need many more colleges, black and white, not fewer. “To those who would suggest phasing out the black college as an anachronism, I would say I’m ready to do that when they will also phase out white colleges as an anachronism, and lily-white churches, white corporations and white communities.” Experimental from the years 1903 to the mid 1960’s were shown Thursday and Sunday March 9th and 12th. The overall program of eleven films was entertaining and well received. Three short works by George Melie’s started the night’s viewing. Made in 1903 these films utilized Melies own inventions of trick photography to create the effects of appearances and disappearances. Techniques such as these had been previously unused by any film director. The Great Train Robbery, is credited with being the first story-telling motion picture. The Great Train Robbery started the business of movie making and it was well worth seeing. La Chien Andalou, directed by Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel, was a shocking, surrealistic movie, exactly as it was made to be. The two artists teamed their two private obsessions of surrealism to shock previous "avante garde” directors. Clay, or the Origin of the Species traced vaguely the origin of man. This one of the better films of the night used expert animation and excellent imagination to make a very good movie. The Day of the Painter, An American Time Capsule, and The Interview used both methods and subjects which have appeared often since these movies of the 1960s. These three motion pictures may have been the first to satirize abstract art. jazz musicians and use tenth of a second flashes of photographs and paintings, but all three seemed quite tired. Buddha’s Party, directed by Ian Joel, presented a depressing picture of youth in the early 1960's. The film implied that youth was at its best when at a beach party jam session in some unknown spot. The young people of today have more to them than listening to music, drinking, and smoking pot, but the director apparently didn’t think so. Prelude: Dog Man Star, lasted much too long. The film was comprised of a half hour of images created by scrating painting, and superimposing techniques used by Stanley Brukhage and Bruce Commer. The directors could have deleted twenty minutes of the movie and still communicated their peanut message about life. Report had a sound track of actual radio broadcasts concerning the first Kennedy assassination. This sound track along with intercuts of symbolic and ironic stock footage with scenes of the central tragedy to amplify already intense feelings about this event. The overall effect is much like being frozen in that moment in time. Lonely Are The Brave starring Kirk Douglas and Gena Rowlands will be shown this Sunday night. This movie concerns a modem outdoor adventure in which an individualist nuts himself against the constraints of conformity in the jet age putting his life on the line for a friend.
