VOLUME 14, NUMBER 17 ® 1UE (C iR 31 ill CORNING, NEW YORK MARCH 11, 1974 Soul Concert OK’d by Bill Gray It looks like the members of the Fat Back Band and Ripple will be earning some of C.C.C. students’ money this year. Inter-Club Council, in an open session held Thursday, February 25, voted to give $5300 to the Concert Committee for Corning’s first all-soul concert. The concert is to be held Friday, May 10, in the Corning Communit College gy m. Earlier in the same week, the college witnessed a heated debate between people opposed to the concert, and those in favor of it. In light of this disagreement, I.C.C. hosted an open discussion meeting on Tuesday. February 26. Several points were brought out in this meeting. Opposition Voiced Many students were opposed io spending their activities budget money on an all-soul concert. It was also noted that the activities fees of only the 77 black students on campus would nearly cover the concert. Students at Corning pay a $70 per year activities fee. The fact that there has never been a successful concert at Corning was also noted several times. Tom Beiswenger, Editor of the Crier, headed the opposition. Speaking as a “concerned stu-ient,“ he voiced several objections to the concert. He stated concern with the lack of preparation, stressing the failure of last year's concert in the same area. He was also upset that the money alloted was never properly dilineated. The budget request presented to I.C.C. was vague in some areas. He also expressed skepticism that an all-soul concert, featuring unknown bands, would attract enough people to break even financially. Student Life Directive A1 Paparelli, Director of Activities, also stated that he had some “needs which must be met.” He too requested a more accurately dilineated budget. He also said that the Student Life Committee, the final deciding student body in the area of student funds, had previously accepted a resolution deal- I.C.C. LEADERS Listen To Debate ing with student money. This resolution states that said money should be spent in such a way that it would benefit the greatest majority of students. He expressed doubt that anall-soul concert, held at night, would do this. He asked if there was anyway that the concert cmuld be held during the day, so as to appeal to students already on campus for classes. He was informed that, due to the amount of time required, for preparation, this was impossible. First Black Concert Ray Keiffer, PresidentofI.C.C., also had some points to make. He said that, according to a poll of incoming students taken last fall, most students want a concert. He also stressed that this concert was especially important, as it marked the first time the black population of C.C.C. has taken an active voice in the running of the college. He also noted that I.C.C. had already voted nine to three to give the money for the concert, and to reverse that decision might perman- Bulkley Terms Questionable Happenings At CCC As A "Horror Show” by Tom Beiswenger Major changes are taking place in the Health. Physical Education, and Recreation division and in the athletics program. Usually reliable sources indicated that the changes taking place center around Neil Bulkley, director of Athletics and HPER Division chairman, but on sabbatical this year. These sources say that there is a movement in the division to dismiss Bulkley from the positions of Athletics Director and Division Chairman and to split these positions between two people. Instead, these sources go on to say, the HPER division members are going to offer Bulkley the position as Director of A t h 1 e t i c s--Intra-murals-Recreation only, and give the HPER division chairmanship to Beverly Beebe, presently acting division chairman. However, other rumors indicated that John Polo, Acting Director of Athletics and Ms. Beebe were trying to Keep Bulkley from returning entirely. Talks Taking Place Reached at this North Tonowan-da home where he is attending SUNY at Buffalo, Bulkley said, “There are talks taking place with regard to who will occupy the Director of Athletics and Division Chairman’s positions. But, the rumor that John and Bev are trying to keep me from returning is false.” He went on to say that, “I do not personally feel or have reason to suspect that these people are in any way involved in that rumor.” However. Bulkley did verify the fact that the HPER division had recommended to Robert Chapman, Dean of Instruction, that the two positions be headed by two individuals, instead of one, as it was last year. Bulkley said that he was also aware that it was further recommended to Chapman that Ms. Beebe be division chairman and Bulkley be Athletics Director. A further check with Chapman indicated that this recommendation was handed to him. However, an attempt to secure the minutes of the meeting involved met with no success. Bulkley went on to say. though, that he was upset, not so much at the splitting of the positions, but at the decision as to who was to hold them. Bulkley implied that because of his absence, he was being taken advantage of. Kiss of Death To this point, he commented in fairly strong terms, “This sabbatical is turning out to be a kiss of death. It’s like a horror show down there.” Bulkley felt that he was entitled to the terms of his 73-74 contract and that any change which is to appear in his 74-75 contract should be subject to “due process.” He said that a decision to change his-contract cannot be made by a ’’handful of people,” implying members of the HPER division. Presently, Bulkley said, “I intend to see to it that due process is carried out.” Beck Closemouthed Chapman and Donald Beck, Dean of Students, are involved in this personnel matter; and when reached for comment, Beck said, “Personnel matters are confidential matters until there is an agreement between the employee and the College.” Beck would provide no other information other than that the “only obligation of the College is to offer an employee on sabbatical a contract for the next year and that “good faith bargaining” must take place. Chapman, however, said that, “Neil has been treated just as any other faculty and/or administrator would be.” He went on to say that, “Neil, by virtue of this present contract, has been guaranteed for another year neither Division Chairman or Director of Inter-Collegiate Athletics. What he is guaranteed is that he can return to a job which would be defined by his next year’s contract.” Chapman said that Bulkley was being treated fairly and that due process was taking place: but when asked to show how. Chapman refused to volunteer any more information. However, Bulkley said that, “For me, when an institution invests in a person to go on sabbati- cal, it stands to reason that the institution should receive its money’s worth of investment in increased service to the institution upon the person’s return. Otherwise, it becomes a personal return to the person on sabbatical with no planned institutional use of the increased expertise gained by the person going on sabbatical.” Bulkley went on to say that, “I did not need to go on sabbatical to return as Director of Athletics-In tramurals-Recreation.” He cited his three years of superior service, per faculty evaluations, as Athletics Director and that “I did not need to sacrifice half of my salary and put my family through hardship to come back to this.” ently tarnish the organization's credibility. Members Felt Pressured Many I.C.C. members then reported that they felt that vote was not truly representative, because they felt pressured into spending the money. One representative, Wilf Kal-bach, said that he was led to believe that if the money were not spent this year, there would be no money alloted to spend next year. Several other members reported agreement. It was then decided to hold another I.C.C. meeting, discuss the problem, and vote. Nine clubs, the exact number needed before a vote can be held, attended that meeting. Roll Call Vote Taken A roll call vote was held to decide whether to leave the decision as is, that is to hold the concert, or to take a revote. Secretaries Club, the Black Student Union, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship Club, Med. Tech, and Broadcasting Club voted to let the original decision stand. Music Club, Vets Club, and Ski Club voted to discuss and revote. Scuba Club was a late arrival, and as a result, abstained. The concert budget was dilineated as follows: Groups $3,500 Lights, sound $ 825 Publicity $ 150 Security $ 120 Tickets $ 50 $505 was set aside for unforseen expenses, with the understanding that what wasn't spent would be returned to I.C.C. along with any profits from the concert. Bulkley Best For Position Bulkley went on sabbatical to work on his Ph.D in education, and he said that the position most obvious for him, it seems, should be division chairmanship. On this point Chapman agreed, it would seem that Bulkley would be the logical person for the division chairmanship, but once again, refused to elaborate further. Oscsodal However, Bulkley disagreed and said that “this business is quite similar to what happened to Joe Oscsodal (former professor of health here).” Bulkley also feels that Oscsodal “got the shaft, so to speak,” and that what happened in the HPER division to Joe was “absolutely illegal.” Bulkley said that as it stands now, there is “nothing on the books” and that, therefore, people can draw whatever conclusions they choose about Oscsodal. He said he would seek to clear up this matter when he returns. Glaciers (UPI) - By the way, to a waiting motorist, a service station line seems to creep, but there is something slower. Do you know how fast glaciers move? The fastest glaciers in the world travel only three 10-millionths of a mile in an hour. THE CRIER MARCH 11, 1974 PAGE 2 PERSPECTIVE Letters to the Editor by Tom Beiswenger, Editor in Chief The Tech Club Scandal A dangerous precedent which could upset the entire realm of student activity fees spending was set last week. At this time Student Government is meeting to decide how the 74-75 activities monies should be spent and is about finished. Their job is not an easy one, for they must decide how to spend the $102,000 allocated among $122,000 of requests by various organizations. Well placed sources say that the process is about finished and that some new organizations have been funded while others have been cut. But what is so upsetting is how Student Government used its power to allocate money to the Tech Club which, incidentally, comprises most of Student Government. In an unsound and certainly questionable move, Student Government granted Tech Club, poorly disguised as Tech Guild, $2,500 for a trip to Washington, D.C. next year. This is a noble gesture to one of our most active clubs, but it sets an extremely dangerous precedent. Under the present system, a club wishing to receive extra funds must go through proper channels; i.e., Inter-Club Council or petition Student Government for money from its educational experience budget. However, Tech Club is not doing this; instead they are asking to become a separate spending head. Fine, but what is then to stop other clubs from doing the same thing. If this practice is allowed to get started, the activities monies will be spread among a chaotic variety of groups whose impact on the entire student body is questionable. This move reeks with the smell of partisan politics on the part of Tech Club. Granted, they got involved in Student Government and nobody else did; but then again, there has yet to be a genuine and well advertised move to hold elections. Student Government is now a dictatorship run by and for the Tech Club and this, I’m sorry to say, stinks of people in power using their power to further their own vested interests! SSIS9BS Of by Bill Gray, Managing Editor Student Media Budget Hi kids. Well, it’s budget-slashing time on the old hill, and once again student media has been hit below the belt. WCEB’s budget was cut 55 percent. The Crier’s budget was cut $1,000. Half of the Crier cut comes out of salaries. Needless to say, I feel this to be a gross error. I know from experience that this paper is a lot of work. We have given up most of our Sundays, worked on one occassion until two in the morning, and worked on another occassion without heat. A very conservative estimate of an editor’s time taken for one paper is fifteen hours. This includes eight hours per week for writing, board meetings, making assignments, proofreading, and deciding what should and should not be printed. A quick layout on Sunday takes seven hours. This semester we will have fourteen papers, for a total of 210 hours. Before the cut we were to get $200. That 95C per hour, with no overtime for Sunday. They are also taking our UPI. That means no Shorts on Sports, no Lighter Side, no Week’s News in Review, no Women’s News, and a very limited view on national and world news. It also means no news, weather or sports for WCEB. Somebody on this campus better decide whether they want a newspaper and radio station or not. WCEB and the Crier are businesses, not clubs. Their budget should reflect that. FRANKLY SPEAKING... .by phil frank ©COLLEGE MEDIA SERVICES-BOX 941VBERKELEY. CA 94709 Editorial Computer Caught Racism To the Editor: One of the h igh e s t order priorities as a college, and as a nation, is supposed to be racism. We have earmarked institutional money in the form of workshops and staff positions to help us become aware that “black” exists primarily as a white word. In the “Shades of Gray” column on sex (Crier, February 11, 1974, pg. 2) a reference is made to the disdain in which our society holds sex. The specific description reads . . . “Why has sex been made illegal? Why has it been shaded a dirty, shadowy brown?” This statement represents a classic example of institutional racism. I don’t wish to point a finger at Mr. Gray. I’m sure his intentions were not to put down Blacks. And to some the issue is trivial. One might d is trivial. One might say “Oh come on! You know what was meant! It communicated to you, didn’t it?” That’s precisely the point. We could relax a little easier if it had not communicated. We would be a long way towards a non-racist society if we could remember that in the winter world of white, the brown-black soil is frozen in infertile immobility. It might be well for our institution to look for the realities of racism, and de-emphasize the lovely words about high ideals one hears so ofter. Respectfully, Alan Poole N-302 - C.C.C. To the Editor: The following is a duplication of a message I received recently, a message printed, no less, upon a computer card: Dear Steven: We invite you to visit our office at your convenience and we will be happy to explain to you the registration procedures. It has come to our attention that you do not fully understand how registration works. Sincerely, REGOSTRAR’S OFFICE CORNING COMMUNITY COLLEGE CORNING, NEW YORK 14830 I would like to respond now to this card. Dear Computer, It pleases me to see that you apparently read our college newspaper. Further, it appears that you have at least one friend on this campus, if only a typewriter. Now either you and your friend have a tremendous sense of humor or you are hurt by ny guest editorial. If the former is the case, I applaud you on the use of a computer card for a response to me . And I trust that the small error in the message was also intended with humor. A REGOSTRAR’S OFFICE indeed! On the off-chance that the typographical error was one of innocent ignorance, Computer, the office belongs to the Registrar, not the Regostrar. And if the error was unintended and the computer card was used only to entice me into visiting the aforementioned office, it won’t work. Don’t even believe that you can bring me within reach of your cables, circuits, and what have you. Oh, true, you would not be there. But, doubtless you would have henchman waiting there to “persuade me” to visit you. I say again, it won’t work. If you could not get me with the “darkened restroom at Wetgoods” trick, do you really expect me to walk right into your memory banks? Forget it. I am. Deeply hurt, Steven R. Fay P.S. After my second FAYbles, I fully expect to receive a letter, printed on a computer card, no doubt, inviting me to: Visit our office at your convenience. It has come to our attention that you do not fully understand how restroom lighting works. If such a message is forthcoming, I may be forced into seclusion. OPINION Computer Answers Dear 9, 11, 12, 12, 3: You have seriously maligned me in addition to perpetrating the myth that I am making all the decisions around here when you blamed your scheduling problems on me. I am not making all the decisions around here: I simply implement those decisions that the humans make. If they make logical decisions that other humans consider to be errors who am I to listen to? First, you accuse me of not knowing that you can’t be in two places at once - a conflict you call it. I know you can’t be two places at once. My cousin, the computer at Alfred University, figured out all the conflicts and told the humans where they were, who had them, and where to move class times to resolve the conflicts. The humans made an attempt at solving the conflicts by moving some classes but not all of them. They said something silly like “We’re not going to have Saturday classes and masses of 3 and 4 o’clock classes in order to resolve all the conflicts,” so they programmed me to tell you you were in conflict--now isn’t that silly when they really meant for me to tell you “We have tried every which way to give you a conflict-free schedule but can’t without expanding the schedule to times that students don’t want so we would like you to pick a different course or two that can be taken conflict free. Secondly, I’m sorry your advisor was not available until after the pre-registration drop/add (Those green drop/adds they feed me for my lc) period. Unfortunately, the humans thought you would read the memorandum from the friendly human in the registrar’s office stating “Conflicts may be resolved before classes start--You may change courses during the first week of classes with permission of your advisor,” and that you would infer from this that advisor permission is not necessary to resolve conflicts. Lastly, as for signing up for no classes at incovenient times, the humans have really botched that one up: For each time block that you tell me is inconvenient, I am told to put you in a course called “NC” (no class). For instance, if you wantno8o’clocks, I put you in five courses called NC 001, NC 002, etc. That works out fine - I create a schedule just as you asked for. But then the humans enter in and say to me “But if the student asks for a class that can only be scheduled in those no class hours, go ahead and ignore this illegal conflict.” They won’t even let me schedule you in the no classes and the classes in conflict and let you pick. They tell me to delete the no class from your schedule - how dumb. In conclusion, I’m sick and tired of having everything blamed on me. Even some of the humans I work for use words like “The computer gave you this conflict.” Nobody even thanks me for a workstudy payroll check or a conflict-free schedule or for figuring out car pools and G.P.A.’s.

CCC Blood Donors Give 147 Units CCC held its spring semester blood bank on Wednesday, February 27 in the gym. The 171 donors who registered contributed 147 units of blood, two units short of the fall visit total. The collection of 296 pints for the 1973-74 school year represents an increase of almost 50% over the preceeding school year when a substantial drop-off in student donor participation occurred in the wake of Hurricane Agnes, as it did for other donor groups in the Southern Tier. Workers - Named The following nursing students worked: John Double, Kathy Kelly, Joan Podelec, Lisa Crispino, Cheryl Palen, Pam Sterns, Pat Latchley, Mary Rose Spena, Susan Dann, and Beth Groezinger. Ruth Marquardt also took donor medical histories. Medical Tech students Ruth Woodward, Donna Rider, Shriley Baker, and Connie Green checked hemoglobin for donors. Secretarial tasks at the registration and bottle labeling stations were handled by Ginny Simmons, Donna Amentler, Kathy Linsnec, Carolyn Coltrane, James Tolbert, Debbie Markle, Michelle Holgate, Scott Naylor, JoAnne LaFace, Don Teleck, Rachel Chadwick. Donor escorts were Toni Brown, Hugh Crittenden, Arline Kalisk, Sadat Khera, Bob Rhoda, and Phil Spart. Vets club members set up the donor area and dismantled and reloaded the bloodmobile van. They also did the pre-visit recruiting. Gallon Donors Three members of the college community reached new gallon levels at this visit. Robert E. Finley and Lester Rosenbloom both reached the two-gallon level and Emory Bauer completed his first gallon. Two women donors who visited the campus, Nancy Lucy and Joan Mayer, were awarded one gallon donor pins in recognition of their making their eighth donations. Two-thirds of the donors at this visit were making repeat donations compared with one-half at the October visit. While donors from Corning and Elmira predominated, the list of post offices which students gave in their addresses read like a New York State Atlas. In all, 43 New York State cities and three in Pennsylvania were given by registering donors. Fifteen Corning chapters, American Red Cross Volunteers worked with CCC students at the various donor stations. And an equal number of women from the Emanuel Lutheran Church worked on food and beverage preparations in the canteen to serve both donors and workers.

Common Cause : People Power Common Cause, which has drawn attention and involvement from the entire country, is rapidly gaining influence in American political circles. Mr. David Cohen, Vice-President of Common Cause, stressed that this non-partisan organization is made up of citizens bound together in determination to and the abuse of money in politics and promote honesty and openness in America government. The members of Common Cause, who represent all walks of life, vote regularly (by mail) to decide upon which issues to focus their attention, as well as to choose a board of directors, which coordinates the groups lobbying taxes. Common Cause operates on both state and national levels, and yearly membership dues finance a full-time professional staff centered in Washington D.C. Through the use of an extensive communications system every member is kept constantly informed of the situation of the groups various interests, and the resulting unified lobbying tactics will have maximum political impact. Individual members involve themselves only as deeply as they wish, and only in issues which they feel a personal concern. Over the past decade the lobbying efforts of Common Cause have been instrumental in deciding such controversial issues as: ending U.S. involvement in Vietnam; defeating the super-sonic trapsport appropriations bill; lowering the volting age, and passing the mandate requiring candidates to disclose campaign contributions. Presently, Common Cause is crusading for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment and is pushing for a reformation of our present campaign and election system, which would require a candidate to raise a minimum amount of campaign funds through public contributions: This is aimed at ending the monopoly of big business over elections, and making it impossible for candidates to sell themselves to the highest bidder. Common Cause feels that public officials should be kept accountable between elections, and by lobbying for interests unfinanced by specific economic political groups, the interest of the nation as a whole are represented. Mr. Cohen did conceive that money is the most powerful voice heard by government officials. The subject of impeachment is also of great concern to the members of Common Cause. As the group must maintain its non-partisan positions, lobbying has been aimed at opening the proceedings to the public; Mr. Cohen expressed the purpose of Common Cause as guarding the right of the country to a thorough open trial. Common Cause also hopes to see meetings of the ways and means committee open to public scrutiny; Mr. Cohen sees the revelation of the processes of taxation as the first step toward ending such practices that allow large corporations to pay virtually no taxes. As evidence by its rapid growth, Common Cause is working, because the American people have come to realize that power comes with unity, and not necessarily money.

NSL To Meet With Energy Czars Arthur Rodbell, Executive Director of the National Student Lobby, announced that he received a response from the Federal Energy Office concerning a letter that he personally delivered to William Simon last week that described the plight of the student under the present gasoline pricing and distribution system. Presently, 175,000 college students face the termination of their education if today’s trends continue. Summarizing the letter, Rodbell said, “Every dollar increase fora tank of gasoline represents a dollar increase in tuition for the five and one-half million (estimation) who must commute to two and four-year colleges and universities. We are asking, therefore, that the administration discuss with the Lobby what effects gasoline rationing might have on students, as it seems an inevitable consequence of the crises. Will rationing guarantee control over the price of gasoline, which is currently being consumed on a first come--first served, basis in a sellers market. The President’s National Commission on Financing Post-Secondary Education reported on December 31, 1973, that every $100 increase in tuition forces at least two and one-half percent or 175,000 students out of public colleges. The increase in cost for the average commuter who travels ten miles to school and pays a 20C increase in the price of gasoline equals a $100 increase in tuition. If you’re going to allow these increases to continue under the present system, based on uncontrolled The Vet Happy over the prospect of being among the graduates of Corning Community College to receive his A.S. Degree in Business Administration in June is Gary T. Cosgrove of 3498 Vermont Avenue, Elmira. Gary never finished high school, but after spending his hitch in the U.S. Navy, he received his General Equivalency Diploma through the U.S. Armed Forces Institute (USAFI). When he was thirty-one years of age, already married eleven years with four children (and one since then), he began studying part-time at C.C.C. in January, 1972. He admits he was apprehensive at first, but after being made to feel at ease by the profs, he now has younger people coming to him for advice and help. Beginning with only one course in the first semester and gradually adding courses each semester until he could spend two semesters full-time (twelve and fifteen credits, respectively), Gary now has only 12 hours to complete this semester for the total required by the degree. Gary praises the college for the cooperation of his advisors and the Continuing Education Division for helping him adjust his class schedule to his work schedule. When he first started at C.C.C. he was working full time at night and taking day classes. Now, with a couple of promotions which he credits to his initiative in going to college, he works days and attends night classes. Not only the cooperation of the college but also the sympathetic understanding of the Bendix Corporation was needed for Gary to carry out his plans. His immediate supervisor, Mr. Charles F. Roe, manager of plant services at Bendix, remarks, “We understand and appreciate Gary’s goal to become educated and to better himself, so consumption, then you might as well raise tuition for millions of commuting students who have no alternative to driving,” Rodbell said. Rodbell also urged that students be treated equally with workers. “Every dollar increase in commuting costs hits the working student three times harder than the fulltime worker, stated Rodbell. “After all, students earn, on the average, one-thirdofwhat full time workers do.” “The energy crisis also effects students in many ways that lie above and beyond the gasoline shortage: closing of schools for the winter, pre-empted school employment, increase in the cost of books, increased tuition threats due to campus administrations energy cutbacks--which means, in some cases, a 45 percent increase in needed funds, threatened commuter taxes by the EPA, and other events. “Students do understand their role in energy conservation, but must object when their jobs or educations are unduly threatened by oversight on the part of the energy policy makers,” stated Rodbell. Rodbell and other members of the NSL staff, will meet with Simon’s aides in an effort to establish a special committee to deal with the problems of commuting students. Rod>ell stated that, “The National Student Lobby will continue to press the Federal Energy Office until a sit-down meeting with Simon takes place. This is the only way the needs of the commuting student can be acted upon.” at C.C.C. we helped him adjust his working hours so he could go to classes necessary to his program and still work full time in his capacity as general foreman of maintenance.” Also, Bendix reimbursed Gary for some of his expenditures on education. Since he was on theG.I. Bill, about 90% of his expenses were paid by that program with up to $380 a month subsistence due to the size of his family. Bendix helped with books and tuition when needed. “If Gary had not been a veteran, Bendix would have subsidized up to 75% of his tuition. This is our policy, provided the course of study is relevant to his job,” says Mr. Roe. The student pays his full tab and is then reimbursed. Gary has been on the Dean’s list at C.C.C., this inspite of having such a rigorous schedule. Gary leaves for work about three-quarters of an hour before his wife, Joyce, gets home from her job at Westinghouse as an inspector of color TV tubes. So they have a sitter for the children for only that amount of time daily. The children range from U years to 15 months of age. Gary advises that many more veterans should be taking advantage of their college benefits. He feels that the Veterans Administration and the college should urge more people to do so. When he first began studies at C.C.C. Gary thought about stressing industrial relations, but now he thinks he may wish to major in executive management. He hopes to continue his education at Elmira College. Besides holding down the fulltime job and carrying the heavy schedule of classes, Gary tries not to neglect his family. He chauffeurs children to dancing school, little league baseball, scouts, etc., and next fall he plans to coach small fry football. THE CRIER MARCH 11, 1974 PAGE 3 THE CRIER MARCH 11, 1974 PAGE 4 New Faculty Member by Doug Hoover In case you have been sitting through your Human Sexuality or Man and His Environment course and wondering who your instructor is - her name is Jan Gleason. Her first time teaching college level, Mrs. Gleason says she is in a process of adaptation. Moving to Corning about six months ago, direct from a position in a high school located in a suburb of New York City, Mrs. Gleason emphasized the point that when a new staff member comes in he (or she) tries to adapt to the particular college. The two main courses taught by the new member of the Health and Physical Education division are Man and His Environment and Human Sexuality. Mrs. Gleason finds teaching Human Sexuality interesting because “compared to the other disciplines, the study of human sexuality is in its infancy.” She believes that the first part of a course such as Human Sexuality Bill Glenn : It’s A Growth Experience by Jan Seeley “I feel I need to grow along with them.” This is how Bill Glenn, one of the personal and vocational counselors here, views his job. Glenn has counselled a wide range of students since he came here about eight months ago. He noted that even high school students have made special trips up to see him. Glenn sees his counseling technique as that “I try to avoid the traditional, psychological role of a counselor. I try to be me. I help people see themselves for what they are in order that they may understand their behaviors.” He added, however, thathe tries to avoid labeling people and imposing his values upon them. “I’m not an employment counselor,” Glenn pointed out, “I just help people think about what is best for them.” One method that he uses is testing. He notes that the Strong, Kuder, and F1 a n n a g a n tests indicate a person’s aptitudes and weaknesses in certain fields of endeavor. Another of the methods he uses in helping a client, is directing him toward acting upon his problem, instead of merely talking about it. Glenn used the example of a POVERTY, CHASTITY, OBEDIENCE THEY CAN BE JUST THREE WORDS OR THEY CAN BE A WAY OF LIFE TO LIVE SO TOTALLY THE WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST THAT ALL MEN SEE IN US HIS PRESENCE AGAIN BRING HIM AND HIS MESSAGE TO MANKIND TODAY IN THE MISSION LANDS OF THE DEEP SOUTH, AND THE SPANISH MISSIONS OF POOR VENEZUELAN PEOPLE; OR BRING CHRIST TO YOUTH THROUGH WORK IN AN EDUCATIONAL APOSTOLATE IF YOU LIKE SHARING, LOVING, AND TRUSTING IN CHRIST'S WAY OF LIFE, MAYBE IT IS TIME TO BE SENT TODAY AS HIS SERVANT For free information write Admissions Director Enders Island Mystic, Connecticut 06355 "Who’s Who ... or Who Will Be at C.C.C. should be mainly factual. According to Mrs. Gleason, “There are an awful lot of myths concerning sexuality. It is important the student understands the facts before he develops his own value system.” Man and His Environment is a general health course in which Mrs. Gleason said she would try to teach by “emphasizing” understanding your own emotional health, how man fits into his society, and man’s responsibility to his society.” Speaking of the course, Man and His Environment, Mrs. Gleason said “I’ve never taught a course like this before, but I’m enthusiastic about it because I believe each of us has a responsibility to our society.” Mrs. Gleason expressed her basic philosophy of teaching as “The teacher does not teach a specific moral viewpoint but rather respect for individuals and their various value systems.” 22 year old veteran who feels immature because his younger classmates know what they want out of life but he hasn’t decided. Glenn pointed out that choosing a career is “a continuing process of change until one finds something he is comfortable with;” therefore, he shouldn’t feel immature in his search for a job of lasting satisfaction. Even Glenn himself underwent this process before he discovered his true vocation. He started college as a chemistry major and ended up in psychology. Concerning the avialable counseling services at C.C.C., Glenn said that “We don’t want to force people to come and see us. Some people fear counselors and have negative attitudes toward them.” Glenn feels, though, that the most unsuccessful atmosphere in counseling, besides fear, is the atmosphere of obligated consistency in groups. Past experiences have proven to him that individuals tend not to interject ideas which differ from the main one. Rather, they have a need to be like everybody else in the group. Finally, Glenn said that he just enjoys h e 1 p i n g people help themselves. “Gives an added meaning to your education,” “personal achievement,” and “Helpful to acceptance at Cornell and application to VISTA” are a few of the comments made by some of the CCC recipients of the Who’s Who awards during the past few years. The Who’s Who selection process is underway now and the deadline is Friday, March 15.

Last Weeks News in Review Black - white By Andrew Lluberes United Press International Kissinger Secretary of State Henry Kissinger used his peripatetic brand of personal diplomacy to score new triumphs again this week. On his fourth Middle East peace mission since the 1973 Mideast War, Kissinger succeeded in moving Israel and Syria, one of the hard-line Arab states, closer to disengagement talks. His efforts also were marked by the restoration this week of full diplomatic relations between Egypt and the United States. Syria gave the secretary a list of 65 Israeli prisoners it has held since last October’s war and agreed to let the International Red Cross visit the P-O-Ws. Israel had insisted on a prisoner list and Red Cross visits before entering into talks with Syria for the separation of troops along the Golan Heights. In exchange for the list, a Government spokesman in Damascus said, “Kissinger pledged to bring from Israel a plan for the disengagement of troops ontheSyrian front as a step toward complete Israeli withdrawal.” He did so, and the Syrians rejected them. But the two sides did agree to send representatives to Washington this month to continue the talks under Kissinger’s auspices. Kissinger and Egyptian Foreign Minister Ismail Fahmi attended the ceremony when the flag was raised over the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. The flag-raising marked renewal of Egyptian-American Diplomatic ties for the first time since th» June, 1967 war. In announcing the event earlier, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat publicly praised Kissinger and advised Syria to work with him in achieving a military disengagement with Israel. Egypt severed diplomatic relations with Washington early in the 1967 Middle East War, charging that U.S. Sixth Fleet Aircraft had helped the Israelis destroy the Arab Air Forces. That charge was later retracted, but relations remained broken for seven years. Kissinger’s newest victories raised speculation about a possible lifting of the Arab Oil Embargo against the United States. The oil states, however, would have to call a conference to make such a decision. Asked about the prospects for lifting the embargo, Sadat said he understood there would be a meeting of Arab Oil Ministers some time in March to consider it. But he did not yet know the date. Watergate The Watergate Grand Jury handed down seven indictments, and special prosecutor Leon Jaworski says more will be forthcoming. Indicted in the first list are former Attorney General John Mitchell, former White House aides H. R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichaman and Charles Colson, Gordon Strachan, Haldeman’s assistant, former assistant Attorney General Robert Marian, and Kenneth Parkinson, a lawyer for the Nixon campaign committee. The jury also turned over a secret report to Judge Sirica, and UPI learned it recommended that the report be given to the House Judiciary Committee, which is investigating the possibility of impeaching President Nixon. The Washington post says the report describes the Grand Jury’s belief that Nixon, in the newspaper’s words “was involved in the conspiracy to obstruct justice in the case.” Britian’s Elections The opposition labor party won the most votes in this week’s British Parliamentary Elections, but that doesn’t mean Prime Minister Edward Heath’s conservatives are out of office. Neither major party got a marjority, and Heath is appealing to a third party, the Liberals, to help him form a Government. The election plunged Britain deeper into one of the gravest economic crises in her history. Everything in sportswear for the girls and guys of CCC.

Ethiopia In Ethiopia, a four-day military revolt forced Emperor Haile Selassie’s Government to name anew prime minister and boost armed forces pay. Nixon President Nixon held his first news conference in four months. He reiterated his intention not to resign and said he did not expect to be impeached. Motorists began paying two cents a gallon more for gasoline, but President Nixon said he would veto an emergency energy bill that would roll back petroleum prices. And the price of stamps for first class letters went up two cents, to a dime. Democratics Law Suit Also in Washington, the Democratic National Committee agreed to settle for 775-thousand dollars of its $6.4 million civil suit against President Nixon’s Campaign Committee. Democrats buried thequota system which made a shambles of their 1972 national convention. Mitchell-Stans Trial In New York, former Attorney General John Mitchell and Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans went on trial after a four-month delay. Arm - Chair Astronomers The CCC Geo-Science club journeyed to the heavens on February 27 when they visited the Strasen-burgh Planetarium and science museum in Rochester, New York. The main event presented at the planetarium, “Explorers From the Stars,” was shown by the multilens planetarium projector utilizing the domed projection screen. The members were able to view the sky show in comfort because of the plush, reclining seats. The program consisted of a brief section about stars and constellations, and then detailed the history of unidentified flying objects. It was demonstrated that 1/3 of the stars in our galaxy are scientifically capable of producing life. Under these conditions, it was appropriate for the planetarium narrator to list the nine steps for identification of an UFO: time sighted, brightness, color, direction traveling, direction sighted, angular size, angular height, UFO size, and, if possible, a photo. Before the main event at the planetarium, the group visited the different areas of the science museum. The museum, one of the best in Upstate New York, covers the areas of geology, biology, and anthropology. Some members visited a special section presenting the history of Rochester. A general concensus of the members deeded the presentation “excellent.” Some who had seen similar presentations at the Hayden Planetarium in New York felt that there was “no comparison.” Geo-Science clubs is currently planning other field trips in various areas of science, and welcomes any inquiries or new members. by Jan Seeley Editor’s Note: Jan was one of the CCC students who participated in the February 22-24 workshop. “Why are we here,” skeptics asked each other, prior to the first session of the Black-White workshop at Keuka College last weekend. “If Blacks associate solely with Blacks and Whites associate solely with Whites, who can we possibly do anything about the racial problem?” The workshop, sponsored by CCC, was designed so that Blacks and Whites would meet separately in five sessions, intermingling only by chance, during meals or in the dorms. The theory behind the apparent segregation was that individuals would feel free to share personal experiences on racism which may have resulted in their present attitudes. Then, once they had established self-awareness, they would be able to plan future interrelations with members of the other race. In the actual process, Blacks and Whites examined their races historically and presently through films, records, personality games, and rap sessions. The latter was particularly effective, despite the common anxiety that the workshop might do nothing more than pay lip-service by Doug Hoover The snack bar is being restored in the bottom of the Commons building and will begin operating on March 11. Thanks to the cooperation of Food Service Systems, student government food services committee, Don Beck, and an overwhelming response by students the Snack Bar is being restored. Beginning March 11, the Snack Bar will be open the rest of the semester on a trial period. If there is enough student support it will remain, if not, the Snack Bar will leave CCC for good. A Letter to By Bob Prince It seems to me that something need be said about the SLA (Sym-bionese Liberation Army) and its affect on everyone. The SLA is a group of people, U.S. As in any good (?) war prisoners are usually taken. Why should it be any different during this war. The SLA has captured a prisoner and must be viewed according to the same way you would judge your own soldiers behavior when they are at war. As long as the prisoner is not hurt or mistreated then the SLA is guilty of no crime. However, if they do harm or mistreat Miss Hearst then the SLA should be punished the same way American soldiers are punished. Just as Lt. Calley is under arrest in his hotel room while his lawyers appeal his convictions, if any SLA members to the racial problem. Participants became emotionally involved as they unfolded their standpoints on the issue. “I want so much to help!” one girl exclaimed, expressing the desire of many. “But I’m so afraid of having to do it by myself.” “I’ve never really been involved with anyone outside my race,” admitted another. “I’ve read about them. I know that there’s a problem between us. But I feel helpless because I personally have never been affected by the problem.” “I’m a racist, and there’s nothing I can do about it,” declared one participant. “I’m a product of a society where prejudice is and always has been a natural feeling.” As the workshop progressed to its final session, it began to relieve some concerns. A number of individuals, for instance, began to accept awareness as a stepping stone toward reducing the racial problem - even though it had meant a temporary segregation. Those who felt alone in their desires to help agreed to arrange follow-up meetings at their home schools, where they could jointly act upon segregation. A group of CCC’s delegates had their first meeting on February 27. In a survey taken in the last week in February, it was found that 64 percent of the student population did not use the vending or cafeteria services offered by the college, but 63 percent said they would use the Snack Bar if it is put in. An impressive 85 percent of those purchasing lunches on campus, said they would use the snack bar. Open daily, the Snack Bar will offer coffee and pastries from 7:45 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. items fromthegrill will be available. If you want the Snack Bar to become a permanent resident of CCC - use it! the People are convicted we should also give them nice hotel rooms while they appeal any convictions. No doubt there will also be a small faction of the U.S. that will call the SLA heroes just as a small faction calls Calley a hero and want him adorned with meals. Even if there is agreement with my statements, don’t think that I am being too lenient with my views. If they (the SLA) break any rules concerning treatment of P.O.W.s I stress justice. Of course, they are allowed the same rules as the U.S. plays by and these and those rules allow the SLA to spray Miss Hearst and her room and her food with 6 lbs. of dioxin, which is the herbicide that the U.S. dropped 100 million pounds of on South Vietnam during 1961-1971. After all, let’s be fair to all prisoners of war. Then, if any SLA members are convicted of mistreatment of their prisoners, we must let the underground revolutionary movements choose the jury just as the Defense Department chose the panel it sent to Vietnam to study the effects of herbicidal warfare. The U.S. must learn to stop basing its justice on a “Do-as-I-Say-Not-As-I-Do” system or learn to live with the consequences. Henyan'» ATHLETIC SHOP, INC 40 E. Martct an..

If chord music from a deeply serious or classical vein to a light, contemporary feel is your love, then you might be interested in sitting in on (or even participating with) rehearsals of the College Chorus. This group meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in the Science Amphitheater from noon until 1 p.m. All are invited to come and sing with the group; no tryouts are necessary. Another vocal group which handles more complex music and works suitable for a smaller sound than the 40 voices of the Chorus is the Chamber Singers. Although a short audition is heard from each prospective member, Dr. James Hudson, Director, stresses that a person who shows an intent to work hard has as much a chance of joining as anyone who might be considered a “great voice.” Generally, Chamber Singers must also be members of the Chorus, but special exceptions may allow a bending of regular procedure. Individuals with conflicts or problems are advised to speak with Dr. Hudson. This group meets Monday and Wednesday from 1 until 2 in the Science Amphitheater. A new and growing group on campus this year is the Stage Band. Any and all instrumentalists are welcomed with open arms. No auditions are necessary. Dr. Hudson directs the group when his busy schedule will allow it. This group meets, generally, on Tuesday and Thursday in the Science Amphitheater from 12:30 to 2:00. If you’d like to play but have a conflict, or if you don’t play a stage band instrument (you’re a bassonist, celloist, French horn player, etc.); PLEASE tell one of the members of the band so they know you’re around. On campus concerts are another source of music. These are sponsored by almost every conceivable group at some time or another. The most regular are those sponsored by the Coffee-house group; these are usually solo performances of singers with a modern sound. The concerts are held in the Commons, and are publicized by posters plastered over every conceivable poster supporting object. Try one of these concerts next time! Another source of on-campus (and soon off-campus) music is our own radio station, WCEB. Music of all types is presented by the station in a somewhat unique style or programming; it promises to be quite enjoyable when it hits the air. Presently, WCEB can be heard over the PA system in the Commons. Students are invited to participate with this kind of music as well as listen; contact Dave Game, Station Manager. Certainly not to be ignored is the Underhill Listening Room in Houghton Library. Here classics are played at a tone loud enough to cover the snores of students who have fallen asleep listening, but quiet enough to allow one to study. The listening room is open daily from 8:30 to 5. If you find the listening room full, or the works being presented are not to your liking, visit Mrs. Wilson at the Library Reserve Desk. Mrs. Wilson has a machine so complex that the librarians can’t work it, and if you’ve ever tried to understand the Dewey Decimal system; (librarians can understand the Dewey decimal system), you can imagine how complex it actually is. From the console Mrs. Wilson can put on any recording from the library collection (or any record you might want to bring from home) at virtually any point in the library. Then she’ll send you up with a set of earphones to “plug in” and leave the driving to her. As you can see, the opportunities available to a student seeking musical entertainment are rather large in scope for a college of this size. Go, and findyour musical “niche” and enjoy! Musicians Guild Ask For 74-75 Monies In a coordinated attempt with the Music Club, the Musicians’ Guild is working to entrance the present musical system with a series of ambitous projects. To achieve these programs, the group has petitioned Student Government for financial assistance for the coming school year. To increase variety in concert presentations and to enhance the campus music library the group hopes to puchase music for the Chorus, Chamber Singers, and the Stage Band. In addition, smaller groups (duets, trios, quintets, etc.) of both instrumental and vocal nature will find music for their groups, previously unavailable here. In hopes of making full use of a great deal of dormant student talent in the instrumental area, the group hopes to rent (and eventually purchase and present to the college) a number of instruments which are not usually owned by students because of their cost. Such instruments would include a tuba, bassoon, oboe, baritone, alto and tenor saxophones, french horns, viola and cello. (The college already owns a string bass.) Students who might wish to make use of such an instrumental program are invited to inform one of the officers of the Guild or Dr. James Hudson, Music Professor, of their wishes. It is expected that the number of instruments will not cover the demand so the group is attempting to obtain instruments by other means. Direct donation of unused instruments by the public is one hopeful method. Persons who might have instruments they could donate are asked to contact the Club. Sponsoring tours will be another function of the group if it receives the requested funds. Provisions will be for both Corning groups to visit other campuses and for off-campus groups to perform here. In the area of sponsoring on-campus concerts, a possibility of a joining of forces has been considered between the Commons Committee, the Coffeehouse group and the new music group. Money could be saved by having at least a part of the concerts presented by campus or local talent. Other portions of the budget are planned for musical-dramatic productions, receptions after concerts to introduce performers to the audience , and promoting membership. The primary reason for the undertaking of such expansion is to make greater musical variety available to potential C.C.C. students which would give Corning greater drawing power. Those who would be interested in some form of musical participation would not be disappointed or discouraged from attending C.C.C. because of a lack of musical involvement interesting to them. Music Notes Michael James by Bill Gray Michael James Catalano put on an impressive show in the Kelly Lounge on February 19. He and his two guitars serenaded about 40 people for about two hours. Catalano is a native of Buffalo who makes a yearly trek to east coast colleges. He is an accomplished guitarist, utilizing country, rock and jazz styles, and the possessor of a distinct vocal style. He does mostly original material, and will even write a song on the spot, on any subject given him by a member of his audience. (UPI) “Beautiful” is one of the most overworked adjectives in the English language, but when the subject is Joni Mitchell, her music, her voice, her person, it is the only one that fits. At a recent concert, Joni was into the third tune and her touring band, the L.A. Express, was chugging. She stepped up to the microphone, but someone in the audience , called out to turn the volume down. John Lennon has joined forces with Phil Spector (remember the Ronettes singing “Da Doo Ron Ron?” Remember the Righteous Brothers?) For what’s being termed “an album of fave oldies,” Mick Jagger has been doing a lot of session work lately, appearing on Carly Simon’s “Hot-cakes” and albums from Billy Preston and fellow Rolling Stone Bill Wyman; Grand Funk Railroad’s new album is called “Shinin’ On” and will be out in mid-March; members of the Emerson, Lake and Palmer entourage (including Bassist Greg Lake) literally “Had their bottoms spanked” by Salt Lake City Police for skinny-dipping in their hotel pool; American rock bands are staying away from England in droves, just one more burden for the energy-starved British to bear; the new Riders of the Purple Sage have added former Byrd Skip Batten, who replaces Dave Torbert on Bass; Ten Years After will be back in the U.S. for a tour in May. Police in Lyon, France, battled about 600 teenagers who hurled rocks and molotov cocktails at them in a clash at a concert given by the British pop group, The Who. MICHAEL JAMES CATALANO Authorities said the youths stormed the doors of Lyon Sports Palace, containing some 13,000 fans, when they were locked out yesterday. Police called for reinforcements and riot squads fired tear gas grenades at the youths, who then fled through the streets and erected barricades. After two hours, the police restored order and took the names of 23 demonstrators. Five policemen were injured slightly. The concert went ahead after an initial delay due to the violence outside the hall. Art Contest Entries for this year’s Regional Artists Awards Exhibition at the Arnot Art Museum may be brought to the museum through March 17 (10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 2 p.m. - 5p.m. Saturday and Sunday.) This annual juried exhibition is open to all artists within a 100 mile radius. Works in the categories of painting, sculpture, graphics, and photography will be selected for exhibition and awards totaling $650. The opening of the exhibition and awards presentation will be at 2 p.m. on March 23, 1974. The exhibition will be on view until April 17. Papillon: A Complete Disappointment by Tom Beiswenger Accompanied by a female companion, I went to see the movie I had been waiting months to see: Papillon. My escort had not read the book, I had. She liked the movie, I hated it. The book was probably one of the best books written in a long time, but as it is in many cases, the movie is never as good as the book. This movie was no exception, for not only had the producers cut the book to shreds, but they also threw in some things that weren’t even included in the original story. I realized that the movie would be a short version of the book, but my real disappointment came when I found that they had cut the most important parts of the book out. The book had three major points, Papillon’s escape from the French prison in French Guiana, his conversion from an atheist to a believer in God, and his encounter with truly compassionate people in and out of the system. Instead, the producers eliminated all but one of these and substituted crowd-attracting gore that wasn’t even in the book. They took non-fiction and perverted it into fiction. For one who has read the book, the movie skips from one event to another without any semblance of the order that the book had. For instance, in the book, Papillon meets a Venezualen who shows him how to survive in the jungle after he leaves the friendly tribe of Indians. However, in the movie they completely transposed this. This changed the whole meaning of the scene because it eliminated the end of the Indian scene, probably the most touching of Papillon’s whole escape. The movie did not totally eliminate Papillon’s meetings with some truely extraordinary people, but it did not even hint or let alone mention, the fact that he was bom an atheist and was told about God by these people. This was the whole underlying theme of the book, but for reasons beyond my comprehension, was totally eliminated from the movie. All in all, seeing the movie was worse than reading a Readers Digest Condensed version of the book. However, if you’ve not read the book, you may enjoy the movie, for Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman really team up to contribute to some of the best acting you’ll see in a long time. But if you know the story and the sequence of events of Papillon’s real escape from the French prison colonies , don’t go to the movie, you’ll be completely disappointed. p A R A G U A Y £ N Q □ □ £ A N C 0 N D.

R S ART o Evolution: Theatre on Campus Concerts At Onondaga Onondaga Community College is sponsoring a series of concerts this spring by some of the smaller ensembles of the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra. These concerts, which will sometimes take the form of informal lecture-demonstrations, will be presented free of charge, and the public is cordially invited to attend. The schedule for the remaining concerts of the series is as follows: On Friday, March 8, 1974, the Syracuse Symphony Woodwind Quintet will perform at Storrer Auditorium in the Technical Arts Building at 11:00 a.m. On Wednesday, March 13, 1974, the Syracuse Symphony Sinfonietta will perform in the Service and Maintenance Building at 11:00a.m. On Wednesday, March 27, 1974 the Syracuse Symphony Percussion Ensemble will perform in the Service and Maintenance Building at 11:00 a.m. On Friday, Aprl 26, 1974, the Syracuse Symphony Rock Ensemble will perform at Storrer Auditorium in the Technical Arts Building at 8:30 p.m. The Two-Bit Players of Corning Community College will present “The Hobbit,” written by J. R. Tolkien, later in March in the newly refurbished Science Amphitheatre on campus. This facility is the first real home for the drama group. Two major accomplishments of the Two-Bit Players since its 1971 beginning are the evolvement of a philosophy of what college theatre ought to be, and the creation of a theatre community on campus. The bringing to the community of the type of play that commercial theatre groups would not take a chance on provides meaningful theatre education as well as entertainment. Such plays as “America Hurrah,” “Sticks and Bones,”and “Blood Wedding,” were not financial successes and so would probably not have a touring group through this area. But the CCC drama group brought these plays to an appreciative public during the last year. The theatre community on campus involves students, faculty and staff. Happy results have been the performance of each of these groups in the productions, and the writingof two plays by instructor Andrew Lofquist (“Ladies Man, I and H,”) for the group to perform. Interesting History The Two-Bit Players have an interesting history. For a long time there was much grumbling by all facets of the college about no theatre. In the fall of 1971 several students and faculty travelled to New York City for a few days of theatre saturation, including the production of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” On the return trip they decided they would begin theatre at CCC with this play. Without facilities or background Michael Gilmartin and Henry Moons chein, both on the faculty oftheCommun- Bruno’s What? Tom Beiswenger They called themselves “Bruno’s Parents & Uncle Willie.” The title’s original but the music was not. Not only did they just copy what others had done, but they made no innovations in their rendition of the selections. Their Coffeehouse performance last Thursday could easily be summed up in one word: tinny. Video Tape Operators Needed In order to keep to the showing times of the VTN video programs, the Commons Committee is accepting sing-ups for video tape operators.

It met with both critical and popular success and the Two-Bit Players were on their way. Since that beginning seven more major productions have been presented using a variety of facilities including the gym and Commons on campus and 171 Cedar Street. Mike Gilmartin remarks, “Now we are happy to have the permanent facility on campus.” “The Hobbit” was chosen for the next production in order to achieve more balance since it is a lighter play. With it, emphasis can be placed upon costume and special effects. Two courses of study in theatre are now offered by CCC, one a regular formal introduction and the other an independent study. When Hank Moonschein returns from SUNY Binghamton, more courses will be developed. CCC Graduates in Theatre Many CCC graduates are now performing or majoring in theatre at four-year schools. Marybeth Daley of Corning is acting in New York City. James Lytras of Elmira will be touring Europe this summer in a play from SUNY Buffalo. Rise Walter of Horseheads is doing graduate work in Theatre at SUC Oswego. Vicki Kichman of Big Flats just received the lead in “Antigone” at SUNY Albany. And Mark Donahue of Horseheads is doing commercials in Florida. Others are continuing study at state units in Albany, Binghamton, Brockport, and New Paltz. The Two-Bit Players was adopted by the group so that students can attend the plays for 25C and the general public for $1.00. The name is also in keeping with the minimal facilities available to them. Music Club Formed The sound equipment was poorly set up and the non-professional way in which it Was used did little to add to the performance. Uncle Willie, Willie Hayes, played lead and was decent. Maybe if he played with a different group he might have been better. Bruno’s Parents? Well, there’s another story again. Played by Dave and Judy Quattrone, they left much to be desired. Dave could sing but couldn’t play bass and Judy just plain couldn’t sing. Either it was her first performance (if not, it sure sounded like it) or she has the dread disease called “microphonophobia.” This was their second performance here and the only improvement over last semester’s performance was that it didn’t include a “jock on parade.” Their restraint here is to be commended. Members of the College Chorus, the Chamber Singers, the College Stage Band and other members of the college community who are musicians or just musically interested have formed themselves into the Music Club of Coming Community College. The Club, which has been recognized by the Inter-Club Council, will attempt to promote musical growth, especially on campus for the benefit of, and with the assistance of all interested persons. The objectives of the club, as stated in its constitution are: To encourage the development of the full potentiality of the individual member. To serve on campus and in the community. To provide the campus community with a wider variety of musical experiences and activities. To encourage the active support by the general public for this organization and the improvement of its activities. To emphasize music education as a continuing lifelong process. To foster and encourage professional growth. Membership is open to all students who have an interest in any musical area; it is hoped that members will be able to participate in one or more of the recognized musical organizations. Organizations currently recognized are the Chorus, Stage Band, and Chamber Singers; hopeful additions are Woodwind Quintet, String Quartet, Brass Ensemble. Other musical groups may become recognized if their goals are generally parallel to those of the club. A simple request for recognition may be submitted to the club at any time; new organizations may be added at anytime, existing ones are reviewed at the beginning of each semester. The club is headed by Sandy Jayne and Eric Johnson. Daureen Pearson is the secretary, and Kip Said is the treasurer. The group is represented at ICC by Kyla Kraft and Mark Morrissette. Campus Flicks Interested in watching a boy lose his virginity? Or an X-rated cat? How about a black detective, or a black alcoholic blues singer? Or how would you like to see Clark Gable in his most famous role. Like to see a man blow his own foot off, or a topless girl in a cage? How about Sally Struthers running around half naked? All of this plus much more will be available in the movies to be shown free to students during the remainder of the school year. “Summer of 42” is a movie about life. It is the story of Oscie and Hermie, two kids waiting out the big war. It is also the story of a boy’s first love. It also contains the funniest ten minutes of film you will ever see, when Hermie visits the drug store for a little protection. ‘Fritz the Cat’ is the world’s first X-rated cartoon. I think that says about all there is to say. ‘Superfly’ features action, sex, and some really great music, supplied by Curtis Mayfield. It also features one of movieland’s first black heroes. I don’t believe that much needs to be said about ‘Gone With The Wind.’ It’s easy to see why Gable was crowned ‘King of Hollywood.’ Vivian Leigh is beautiful, as is the entire movie. You might be interested to know that Rhett Butler’s infamous line, “Confidentially, I don’t give a damn,” was the first film obsenity. Diana Ross shines in ‘Lady Sings the Blues.’ Although she is not Billie Holliday, as the advertisement said, she is an enormous talent. As a biography of Miss Holliday, this film is worthless, as a show case for Ms. Ross, it is excellent. ‘Straw Dogs’ has been called everything from junk to perverted to a ‘fascist classic.’ It is full of all the blood and sex you’ve come to expect from Sam Peckinpah, and features an excellent acting job by Dustin Hoffman. ‘Straw Dogs’ is the story of a man’s fight to protect his home. It also gives a pretty good reason for every war ever fought. Peckinpah is also represented by ‘The Getaway’ a bloody, sexy, cops and robbers film featuring Steve McQueen, Ali McGraw and Sally Struthers. ‘Slaughterhouse 5’ is based on the Kurt Vonnegut book. The movie tends to defy description. ‘The Last Movie’ features Dennis (‘Easy Rider’) Hopper and several of his friends wandering about Mexico stoned and/or drunk. See the ad in this paper listing dates and times for these movies. Remember, it’s your money. Answers To Useless Answers Last Issue 1. 9 inches. Sir Thomas W. C rapper (This is verified) 2.

Montgomery THE CRIER MARCH 11, 1974 PAGE 7 THE’CRIER MARCH 11, 1974 PAGE 8 Transcendental Meditation Lecture to be Given Wednesday The Students International Meditation Society (SIMS) will present an introductory talk on Transcendental Meditation (TM) Wednesday, March 13, at 12:00 noon in Room 204 of the Nursing Building. The presentation-.will be given by Gary Bernhardt, a UCLA graduate who has been personally trained and qualified as a teacher of TM by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The talk on TM will be presented here in response to the trend erf growing interest in meditation. SIMS, for example, is now es - to the most significant problem of our time - how the human nervous system can compensate for a fast changing environment and its psychological impact. The legislatures of California, Illinois and Connecticut have passed formal resolutions encouraging the use of TM programs on all levels of state education and recommending TM to their citizenry. Other areas where TM is gaining support include the State of New Hampshire where TM was recommended as part of its drug tablished on over 1,000 college campuses throughout the nation including Elmira College and Cornell. In the Ithaca area, one person in every 60 is practicing the technique. It was student interest which originally encouraged scientists to look into TM. The results of research at UCLA and Stanford Research Institute, published in Scientific American in February 1972, indicate that definite physiological changes accompany the meditative state. Scientists describe the period of TM as a unique state of “restful alertness. ” During TM, the overall metabolic rate is greatly reduced, resulting om a degree of physical rest which is more than twice as deep as that experienced during deep sleep. However, at the same time, the mind is fully alert and awake. “It is this deep rest which allows the nervous system to dissolve the tension and fatigue accumulated in this contemporary age of increasing stress,” Bernhardt commented. Some scientists believe that Transcendental Meditation may be the solution control plan. The recommendation was prepared with this report, “the success rate of ‘treating’ drug dependents through this simple technique is fast approaching the level of phenomenal.” TM has also been recommended as an alternative to drug abuse by the U.S. Bureau of Prisons and the U.S. Army. Independent psychological studies, reported in Journal of Counseling Psychology indicate that subjects practicing TM become -more self-actualized. Characteristics of self actualized people have been summarized by Maslow as follows: increased creativity, increased acceptance of self, of others, and of nature, superior perception of reality, and increased spontaneity, expressiveness and liveliness. Dr. R. Keith Wallace of Harvard Medical School conducted experiments in the field of health and reports, “Transcendental Meditation has practical therapeutic value in relieving mental and physical tension.” Craig Lincoln is convinced that TM can improve an athlete’s performance in competition. Lincoln is an Olympic medal winner in diving. In preparation for the Olympic games, Craig faithfully followed his meditation routine. “Not only did my diving benefit . . ., but my whole experience of the games and what was going on there was more real to me because I had been meditating.” Other athletes, includyig Joe Namath and four members of the Jets, and Bill Walton and several of his teammates are also into TM. Bob Svihus, the offensive tackle of the Jets, says the long-range effects could be to make the meditators better players because Transcendental Meditation relieves stress, and stress causes poor performance. Increasing numbers of religious people are becoming interested in TM. Recently, 25 Trappist monks at St. Joseph’s Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts, began the practice. Bernhardt is quick to point out, however, that Transcendental Meditation is not a religion or a philosophy. He said that TM is a natural mental technique of direct experienced which is practiced for 20 minutes both morning and evening as a preparation for activity. The procedure for learning the technique is standard throughout the country. Two free informational lectures are held. Then those who are interested are given five periods of instruction, both on a personal and group basis, for a fee. The money goes to SIMS, a non-profit organization, and is used to continue teaching activities and to increase public awareness. The fee is not for the technique but for the system which delivers the technique. Wednesday’s lecture will center on the advantages of TM and the fact that anyone can learn this gentle practice. “The whole thing is very simple,” Bernhardt says. “Practiced regularly, Transcendental Meditation unfolds the full potential of the mind and heart and insures the harmonious and balanced development of life.” Henyaria ATHLETIC SHOP, INC. 40 E. Market at., Corning, N.Y 936-4229 SUBSTANTIAL SAVINGS ON INSURANCE FOR DRIVERS UNDER GALVIN o HAINES 26 EAST MARKET STREET 962-4665 News for the Consumer (UPI)--You may not know it . .. but it’s against the law for a supermarket to advertise a “special” to lure you into the store and then deliberately not have it in stock. If you suspect that’s happening, or even if the store stocks only a token “come on” amount of the special, here’s whattodo. Complain to the manager and also his boss and report it to the nearest regional office of the Federal Trade Commission. And take your business to another store--one you can trust. Beef Buying Watch out, too, for those beef bargains frequently offered by freezer operators. One questionable tactic sometimes used is to offer you a “half’ of beef. Then the half turns out to be the two forequarters of the carcass. That’s hardly a “half’ since most of the best cuts are in the hind-quarters. The front end of the animal, remember, has more unusable fat and bone. Baby Cribs If you’re shopping for a baby crib, take along a tape measure and measure the distance between the slats, then buy the model with the narrowest spacing. Hundreds of infants die every year and thousands are injured by getting caught between the slats of their cribs. The government has ruled that all cribs shipped from factories in the United States must have slats no more than two inches apart to reduce the threat of strangulation. But many older model cribs may still be on sales floors, and that’s where the tape measure comes in. Cribs meeting the new federal rules that went into effect this year must carry a tag on both the crib and the carton telling you so. Look for it. For double protection, the Consumer Product Safety Com- mission advises the purchase of a bumper pad. That’s a strip of padding which runs around the inside of the crip and prevents the baby from sticking his hands or feet through the slats. Fweral Costs To many Americans, one question today is sadly unpleasant in more ways than one. Is there any way to cut the cost of a funeral and still meet community or religious standards? 600,00 individuals and families in the United States apparently think there is. By paying one-time fees ranging up to around $20, they’ve joined memorial societies and expect their inevitable da-parture will cost several hundred dollars less than it might have. A Federal Trade Commission report released this week said the average person pays nearly $2,000 for a funeral and gets nothing more than a fancier casket. The FTC study found that the cost of a funeral can be as little as $210. The Continental Association of Funeral and Memorial Societies, Incorporated, says it represents 113 local societies in almost every state which can supply all the details. The memberships can be transferred it you move with little or no additional charge. For information, write to the Continental Association of Funeral and Memorial Societies, Incorporated, Suite 1100 “L” Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C. 20036. For a dollar, the Society offers a book called “A Manual of Death Education and Simple Burial.” (The Celo Press, Bum-ville, North Carolina). “It’s a squeaking wheel that gets the oil” is an old saying.

CthIm Ml, "*». M# Students Hear Parachuting Enthusiasts Mike Cooper and John McKane, parachutists from the Seneca Falls Jump Club, spoke to approximately 20 interested students at a meeting in the Small Lounge February 20. Students were shown two movies dealing with the sport of parachuting and some of the basic techniques. After the movie presentation, Cooper and McKane opened up the meeting for questions. The biggest concern by those students there was cost. Copper said that is the group could comd1 up with 15 persons wanting to take the 4-5 hours of instruction, it would only cost $35 for instruction, equipment rental, and first jump. He said that as you jump more, the price goes down to where it costs only $5-10 per jump. Cooper emphasized that the first five jumps are static-line jumps (parachutes open automatically after exit from plane). McKane said that on a free fall one falls until he reaches a velocity of 162 mph and at that point no longer experiences pulling and is able to “do everything a bird can do except fly up.” The safety of the sport was emphasized, however. “The odds of your chute not opening are 1 in 300,000, “said Cooper, but that the reserve chute is packed by federally licensed riggers. Cooper also noted that at the Seneca Falls Club, they equip the reserve chute with an automatic opening device which will deploy the reserve chute if the main chute doesn’t open by 1,000 feet. Charlie Potter, chairman of the meeting, said that a sign-up sheet would be available in the Activities Office for those interested in taking the parachuting course in Seneca Falls. When 15 applicants are found, Potter said another meeting would be called. N.Y.C. Library Services Here Planning to go to New York to use the New York Public Library?

Successful Program to Spring Entry be Held Again The President of Corning Community College, Robert W. Frederick Jr., today announced that the College would have the Spring Entry Program again this year for those students who expect to enroll at C.C.C. for Fall 1974. Results of a study by Dr. Gunars Reimanis, Director of Educational Research, concerning the Spring Entry Program of 1973 were influential in this decision. In answer to a questionnaire, students who participated in Spring Entry program rated high their “association with their prospective advisors,” “making new friends,” “preparation for classes,” “information about college,” and “answers to problems of immediate concern.” Of not so much consequence to these students were the “social activity,” “meeting sophomores,” and “information about the community.” 63 percent of the participants indicated that they would reom -mend this kind of orientation to their friends; 56 percent indicated that the program helped them decide to come to C.C.C., with 22 percent suggesting that without the entry plan, they might not have gone to college; 80 percent of these students found the entry program helpful in getting accustomed to C.C.C. All applicants to C.C.C. for Fall 1974 will be invited to participate this Spring. Even if some applicants are notsurethatC.C.C. is their first choice, they are urged to take advantage of this opportunity. Participating faculty and students alike have praise for the Spring Entry program of 1973. Associate Professor Joe Vikin admitted that the program took a tremendous amount of time to plan and carry out but he feels it was well worth it to know his students before coming to classes and to help allay some of the students’ fears and anxieties. Assistant Professor Tom Reidy expressed enjoyment of the program and satisfaction in his advisees before school opened and in helping students know their way about the campus. Kathie Corby, a Corning resident in the liberal arts program at C.C.C., appreciated the opportunity to know some fellow students before beginning school in the fall. She appreciates the opportunity to take the Kuder Interst Test because it reinforced her choice of program at C.C.C. David Quinn of Coopers Plains had taken courses atC.C.C. during his senior year in high school and needed less orientation to the College. However, he feels that the Spring Entry Program is a very worthwhile endeavor. Kyra Arnold of Elmira Heights, a student in Nursing, advises all students who expect to go toC.C.C. in the Fall to take advantage of the Spring Entry Program. She valued the opportunity to learn to know the small group of students with whom she was placed, to know the nursing building, and to have numerous questions answered. She was in the orientation group of Bonnie Page. Well, Shut My Mouth (UPI-) Six weeks ago, Mrs. John Horn’s dentist wired her jaws shut so she could start an enforced diet she hoped would reduce her weight from 229 pounds to 144. And it seems to be working. At mid-week, she reported she has lost 34 pounds. But, talking through clenched teeth, Mr. Horn says all the weight loss has been in what she calls “the dumb places--my feet, fingers, and chin.” With her jaws wired, Mrs. Horn is on a total liquid diet. That means soups, fruit juice and “an oc-cational beer.” The 23-year old housewife says she does not miss solid foods. The wires were cui loose for two days last week while Mrs. Horn recovered from a bout with influenza. She says she, “wasn’t tempted to eat at all. I just drank my soup like always. I couldn’t believe it. Nobody likes to eat more than I do. She continues, “I thought I was the only one in the world so dumb she had to have her mouth wired shut. But other women tell me they’re going to try it too.” Mrs. Horn tried every dietin the book, she said, but nothing worked because she could not stop eating. She used to eat pizzas between meals and ate four big meals a day. When she decided to have her jaws wired shut so tightly she could only drink through a straw, Mrs. Horn weighed 229 pounds. She is down to 195 and plans to keep the wires on until she reaches her goal. “Originally,” she says, “I was going to take off the wires after 90 days, but now I know I won’t reach my goal by then. So I’m going to leave them on for another month. “My double chin is gone,” she reports, “and I wear a size 18 dress now. It used to be a size 22.” ♦GET CREDIT You can still earn 1 to 2 Credits in 5-10 Weeks! The second offering of the Basic Modules in Film, Journalism, and TV Begins March 11 and ends April 12.

THE CRIER MARCH 11, 1974 PAGE 9 THE CRIER MARCH 11, 1974 PAGE 10 Crime Not Necessary For Impeachment by George Marder United Press International The idea is being advanced that a broad view of what is an impeachable offense would make it easier to oust President Nixon. The narrow view, requiring evidence of a specific law violation, presumably would make it tougher. That isn’t necessarily so. Those who accept the broad view believe they have set a much more difficult standard for impeachment. Here’s why: Criminal laws are for the ordinary citizen who stray from the narrow. Impeachment is for high officers of the government primarily for offenses against the government. Criminal laws are written for all. Specific laws are not written solely to apply to a President. Impeachment is to cover abuses of presidential power. For example: Many violations of law which apply to criminals do not necessarily add up to impeachment. A conviction for manslaughter in a traffic case could send an ordinary citizen to jail. It wouldn’tbe necessarily lead to the impeachment of a President. Countless other “high crimes and misdemeanors” fall in the same class. The “broad” view of impeachment does not excuse violations of specific law. Neither does it limit impeachment to those offenses which would constitute indictable crimes. Does that mean that the broad view sets no guidelines for impeachment? Would anything go? Absolutely not. An objective study of the briefs written by lawyers arguing the broad view of impeachment concludes that the standards are very high, indeed. The standard set is that the crimes must be so great as to threaten the government of the constitution, the offense must add up to the unwritten crime of subverting the constitution and the government. There is one other factor which is being ignored by some in the debate over what is an impeachment offense: acceptance of the verdict by the people. Impeachment cannot be capricious because it would endanger the continuity of government. Impeachment was designed as a safety value to guard against political assassination and revolution. Unjustified or capricious impeachment of a President is supposed to guard against. If all that the congress would require is evidence of violation of a criminal law, it could dispose of the Nixon case in a hurry, in the view of some. Several courts have held that the massive impoundment of funds was illegal. One judge ruled that the ouster of special prosecutor Cox was unlawful. The comptroller general has concluded that the expenditure of money to protect Spiro Agnew violated specific provision of the constitution and law. The “broad” view requires that impeachment must be something more than that, much more. Sick Disney (UPI-) Chicago - The “Exorcist” has a reputation for sending some of its audience to the hospital, but 51 persons also became ill during the showing of two Walt Disney movies, “Superdad” and “Son of Flubber,” in Chicago the other night.

It’s About Time (UPI-) The week of February 17, 1974, may very well be overlooked when the history books are written. But the chairman of the joint chiefs, Admiral Thomas Moorer, says last week had a rare distinction, it was the most peaceful week around the world in four years. Moorer noted the phenomena at a meeting of the Armed Forces Policy council this morning, noting that there had not been any military activity in Southeast Asia or the Middle East. Lighter Side (UPI-) A vehicle carrying 17 persons ran out of gasoline on US 59 near Houston, Texas, but nobody got out to push. The passengers were prisoners being carried in a paddy wagon from the downtown jail to the county rehabilitation center. The deputy driving called for assistance. Pittsburgh police say a long line of motorists anxiously awaiting service at a gasoline station nearby Scott Township barely noticed the unidentified man who robbed the station yesterday and fled with an estimated 500 dollars. Holding a pistol, the man demanded cash from attendants Charles Knorrand William Dig-gans and locked them in the station office. Police said the robber then walked away from the crowded station to a car parked down the road. . while most customers ignored him. The title of “Children’s Lib Champion” could very likely go to 12 year-old Atha Nathew of San Anselmo, California. She said yesterday that she was seeking a seat on the San Anselmo Park and Recreation Commission. In her words--“Parks are for the children. We need Representation. Children know what children want.” A traveling salesman shouted... dropped his luggage and ran, after a young man who snatched a 100-mark bill from his coat pocket. The young man threw the bank note to the ground and disappeared among the crowd in the main railroad station of Cologne, Germany. And when the salesman returned to collect his luggage, it was gone, stolen by other thieves. Police in London say Constable Graham McClarty probably owes his life to a housewife who sprang to his rescue during a bank holdup and sent a gunman to flight with her voice. They said the robber held McClarty at gunpoint outside the bank in the Lambeth District of London to cover the escape of his accomplices yesterday. A police spokesman said the robber fled when the women ran toward him and shouted, “Don’t you shoot our policeman.” Authorities withheld the woman’s identity but the spokesman said, quoting now, “It was a very brave thing for her to do. Her action may have saved the policeman’s life.” Useless Information 1. Where were the criminals of the planet Krypton imprisoned? Who shrank the city of Candor? 2.

Intramural Basketball Races Tighten by Jim Guild A tie forfirstplaceinthe A.B.A. and a close battle for first in the N.B.A. has developed in intramural basketball. 69-1/2 and Pork N’ Dork are both undefeated to lead the A.B.A. The Baron Rejects hold down first place in the N.B.A., with the James Gang and Senior Barons right behind. In N.B.A. action, the Hawks defeated the Bumbs 77-54. Oakley Hayes and C. Johnson combined for 65 points, scoring 35 and 30 respectively. The Senior Barons remained in the battle for a playoff birth, toppling T.B.A. 38-22. Bill Glenn paced the Senior Barons with 17 points, while Wayne Kenner added 8 points.

Outstanding performances were also turned in by Jim Snyder and Emerson Baugher. Snyder who, incidentally, has the worst luck in the world was one of two wrestlers in the tournament who had to wrestle a pre-prelim-inary round. An hour after this round, which went the full eight minutes, Snyder met the number one seeded man and lost his chance for a regional championship. At the outset it looked like Snyder had the match in hand but he relaxed a second and the eventual 134 lb. champion locked up a cradle and “Big Jim” suffered his first fall in his six-year wrestling career. Snyder showed great character in fighting back hard in the consolation rounds with two falls and a decision before dropping a close decision to Lyle Menn in the consolation finals for third and fourth place. Snyder was the only wrestler in the tournament who had to wrestle six bouts in the two-day tournament. There is an outside chance that one of the first three place winners will not make the trip to Worthington, in which case Snyder The Math/Physics/Technology Division here is the receipient of a $1500 grant from Ingersoll-Rand, Painted Post. According to Carlton Becker, Public Relations Director at I-R, the grant is for the purchase of software to enable the college’s IBM 360-30 computer to become an integral part of the numerical control course offered in the Mechanical Technology Curriculum. At present, students must manually calculate and code designs that are to be manufactured on the college’s Pratt Whitney non-true three axis numerical control machine. Under the expanded ar- could wrestle in Worthington. Emerson Baugher at 142 lbs. was C.C.C.’s other place winner finishing fourth behind an individual he had defeated in the first round of the tournament. “Motor mouth” Baugher provided excitement with his flamboyant style as he executed a perfect lateral drop on a topseeded man to move himself into the semi-final round. Baugher gave it his all in the semi-finals but the cautious Bill Welsh of Monroe would not allow himself to get caught in one of Baugher’s devastating moves and the match ended with the decision going to the champion to be from Monroe C.C. Baugher fared well in the consolation rounds with two decisions to move him to the consolation finals Saturday night. In the consolation finals he wrestled well against the now cautious Rosati of Morrisville. He had the match in bag ahead 2 to 1 with four seconds on the clock but relaxed a second and gave up a take down as the buzzer ended the match. Coach John Polo disputed the call, as it was questionable whether or not Rosati had control but coach Polo’s protest was not upheld and Baugher finished fourth on the short end of a 3-2 decision. As he put it, “I had the ticket in my hand and I was stepin on theplaneand I blew it.” rangement, students will be able to use Ad-apt Autospat and NC (numerical control) language to perform the calculations necessary to prepare the proper E.I.A. (Electronic Industries Association) command codes that sequence the NC machine. Mr. Lawrence K. Volland, Project Manager/Manufacturing Systems was instrumental in obtaining this grant for the college. The problem was defined at the Spring Industrial Advisory Committee meeting, of which Mr. Volland is a member. George L. Gifford. Chairman of The Stoudmire “Street Ball” Game Donald Stoudmire, a young black athlete out of New York City, is a very misunderstood young man. Stoudmire plays basketball for Corning Community College, and often times his slick and flashy style of play will give fans the wrong idea about this man. Stoud-mire’s style of play comes from the ghetto and is called “street ball.” “Street ball” is due to the environment that Stoudmire comes out of for many people in the ghetto sports are a way out. However, basketball is the most popular sport in the inner-city. And basketball in the city is something really beautiful to watch. When a player takes the court in the city, his pride is put on the line. If he gets a pass stolen from him or his shot is blocked, he must come back with a really good move to reinstate his claim that he belongs. This is the Stoudmire style ofplay. Stoudmire brings an air to the game of basketball. Instead of doing the same basic moves, Stoudmire does the unexpected. Many think this is what the game needs, but coaches seem to disagree on this point. They think each player should perform a certain way while they are on the court and that there are certain shots which should be taken at a certain time. But the players of Stoudmire’s style will be the major force on the basketball scene. The game is going dead and we need players of this style to get the game back where it belongs. Until then, people will keep on saying Don Stoudmire is just another showoff kid, not knowing that when he comes on the court, he also brings his pride with him. the Math/Physics/Technology Division, indicated this grant will allow the college to take a major step in the development of a numerical training center for students in technology as well as technicians presently employed in the field and wishing to have training in this specialized machining area. Once the system is operational and integrated into the present NC course, the college, through its Advisory Committees, will be reviewing the possibilities of expanding its NC equipment to include a multi-axile machine. This will then give the college the most sophisticated numerical control training center of any community college in New York State. Math - Physics - Tech Recieves I-R Grant Board of Health Contacted The Crier followed up its threat to contact the State Board of Health February 21. In a telephone conversation with Steve Lane, State Health Inspector, Lane said that having dogs in the eating areas is “absolutely illegal.” Lane went on to say that he would be in the area and promised an inspection of the eating areas. When asked what would happen if he found dogs in the eating area, he said, “We will be forced to fine the col- lege and/or the food service and to close the eating facilities.” Lane said he would first talk to A1 Paparelli, director of the Commons, and Don Franapel, director of food services, early this week.

THE CRIER MARCH 11, 1974 PAGE 11 THE CRIER MARCH 11, 1974 PAGE 12 Coniine Caeers: Who Are Those Govs? by VinnieNykiel After it was finally done, when CCC had played Cortland College J.V.’s to bring their season record to 18-8, the best in Red Baron history, it began to be apparent that the team had accomplished much more. What does it matter if the CCC basketball team wins? But what happens offstage? Does Billy Martin really punch guys in nightclubs? Does Mickey Mantle climb hotel roofs? Does Bart read the Bible? Does Bill Russell throw up in the locker room? Subplots are the thing. The public’s right to know what goes on are these good citizens? What are they like? Where do they go? Do they put their pants on one leg at a time? Who are theseguys, anyway? The Forward, better known by his real name, Keith Carrington, holds the one season rebound mark for CCC. When the game was stopped to present the ball to him, his face had the expression of someone that was saying “Wh-what the hell is going on,” for he did not know they were going to stop the game when he broke the mark. For his rather short stature as a forward (only 6’3”) and for his deadly outside shot, it is a wonder that he has broken the rebound record, but when your 6’3” can jump like your 6’8”, then maybe you could corral as many rebounds. As much as Keith loves to play the game invented by Dr. Neismeth, he also loves to chat with all the Cybill Shepherds and Cecile Tysons on the CCC campus . Keith’s humor, not to distant from anything Henny Youngman would say, was evident in the situation when he responded to a young fan’s question if he started or not; Keith responded “I don’t know. It depends on what the coach thinks.” Keith’s roommate at 69-1/2 Market Street, Dennis Boyd, just happens to be Corning’s other forward. Dennis, a 6’-l” leaper, also hails from the same high school Keith does, Ithaca. Nicknamed “silk” by his teammates, he is smooth, and graceful. Playing consistently throughout the season, Dennis opened up full throttle against Mansfield, in CCC’s last home game. He tore apart the Mounties offense with 7 steals, handed out assists left and right, recorded 9 rebounds and popped in a career high of 22 points that night. Dennis, commenting on his best performance, said modestly “I did play pretty good.”' The apartment at 69-1/2 is a common meeting place for the CCC players as well as good friends of the occupants. “Silk” a great lover of soul music, and has a way with the ladies, that is, almost as good as Keith’s. Dennis is always in the mood for listening and/or dancing' to Berry White, Gladys Knight or Aretha Franklin. Dennis and Keith, both great individual and team players on the court, will probably never receive the attention they deserve while playing at CCC. The player that occupies the pivot position when CCC takes the court is Forrest “Woody” Knowles. Woody is probably the most improved player on the squad this year, and is the only one to have a pregnant cat at his apartment. “Kitty” as she is called is the main topic of conversation when the players get together for a few laughs. Woody has been elected a driver to the away basketball Corning Records 17th by Vinnie Nykiel Question: Do fish swim? Answer: Yes. Question: Which is larger, a tree? Answer: A tree. Question: Can a basketball team that has only one player over 6’3”, a player named “Juice,” a team member who has a longer reach than Phil Jackson, and a player that has more moves than O.J. Simson has yards on the grid iron, actually win games? Answer: A resounding YES. Corning picked up its 16th and 17th victories against Genesee Community College and Cortland State J.V.’s on February 15and 16, respectively. Genesee Community College, 14-6 on the year, came into Corning fresh off a victory over 10 rated Alfred Tech, and was looking to make CCC their 15 victim. Both teams opened slowly, but after a 4-4 deadlock, Corning spurted to a 14-6 bulge and were never headed from there, in that contest, Keith Carrington became Corning’s single season rebound record holder, grabbing his 47th rebound of the season. The game was stopped to present Keith the game ball. In that contest, Ernie Hoover dished out 5 assists while Dennis Boyd rejected 4 of GCC’s shots. Corning held Genesee to their season lowest point total, 62, which was fantastic, because their average was just over 87 ppg. The following night, Corning Victory hosted the Cortland Dragons who had a season record of 7-8. In this match Corning started hot, jumping to early 12-4 to 22-11 leads. As the game progressed, Bruce Spencer of Cortland finally began to connect on his shots while hauling down more than his share of the rebounds. At intermission, with Corning leading 44-39, Keith and Bruce both totaled 18 points. No matter what kind of defense C.C.C. threw up against Cortland in the second stanza, they got the ball to Spencer who scored on 16-24 field-goal attempts in the game. This, fortunately for Corning, was of no great concern, because C.C.C. controlled the game from its onset. Keith Carrington also pulled down a career high of 23 rebounds, while scoring 32 points. Donnie Stoudmire, one of the game’s outstanding defensive players for Corning, swiped the ball 9 times from Cortland, while Dennis Body blocked 5 of Cortland’s shots. Corning, with the help of Woody Knowles on the boards, and David Evans, Jamie James, and Mark Swett off the bench, Cortland presented no major problems to the Red Barons. Corning, after playing its two remaining games, will travel to Rochester March 7, 8, and 9, to compete in the Region 3 playoffs. If Corning can stay healthy and continue to play consistent basketball, they could be in fine shape for this grueling task. games, along with Coach Kenner. Woody is always good for a few laughs. Like the time'he brought fire crackers to the Red Barn. When he exposed them everyone got into the act. Keith took one out to the car where Jamie James was reading, and threw it at him. Then “silk” turned the tables on Woody and threw it at Woody, scaring the pants off of him. Woody, one of the team’s resident geniuses, prides himself in the marks he receives. He is also very concerned about his health, no drinking or smoking, and has such foods at his apartment as powdered milk, high protein chocolate milk, and all the basics, including water. On other ocas-sions, Jamie James, Keith and a few others, with nothing better to do riding a bus back from Delhi with the wrestlers, started to wrestle in the back of the bus. Even though the facilities were limited, there were some good matches. Then there is “Ski” Hoover, one of the guards for CCC, who prides himself in his dress - or lack of it. “Ski” who is ajso a resident of 69-1/2, is one of Corning’s more liberal thinkers. One time, just before he was to go out steaming, with friends waiting and the weather wintery, he emerged from his room wearing only a hat, thin sportcoat, shoes and his shorts, and stated to his buddies “Well, I’m ready, let’s go.” Then there was the time the team was eating in a Carroll’s or Red Barn somewhere, when “Ski” wondering what was goingon behind the baracaded glass wall; how they made their hamburgers, cooked their french fries, etc.; stood up on the table to check out the action. Of course one can easily pick Ernie out because of his Bank Americard shopping bag he utilizes for a gym bag. On the road, the loyal Boston Celtic fan often displays his prowess at card tricks and slight of hand. Ski will also frustrate his teammates by coming up to them and stating “Hoiuiu stan deiike juiomp oop lmuy” which means absolutely nothing. Then there is Donnie Stoudmire, Corning’s other guard. What can be said about Donnie? For one thing, he is the instigator of most of the pranks that occur on the team. One example is the time on the bus when he started to throw pop cans at everyone else and blamed it on “Silk”. D, as he is better known, is hard to get mad at because of his constant wide, child-like grin. Donnie, like Woody, is a sophomore. Some say, when he is hitting, he sould go one-on-five on a fast break and probably score because of his elusive moves. For only 5’11”, D can jump to grab his share of the rebounds and get up high to drop the ball over the rim on a lay-up. Out of New York City, D can talk more jive than anyone on the team. He also can eat more food than anyone on the team. The Reserve, Jamie James, an awesome physical specimen, at 6’-6” 210 pounds, could be mistaken for John-Boy Walton’s older brother. Jamie has come in games in critical situations to give Keith or Woody or Dennis a needed breather. When the warm springlike temperature were with us for a few days and all the players were standing around waiting for a ride to a game, Jamie stated “Today would be perfect to get on your bike and just go trucking.” Then Keith jumped in and said “Man, you’re right. Do that or just get your stuff together and go dumb a hill, jus* don’t waste the day.” Then “Ski” added more by saying “I’m hip, I’m hip.” A Corning-West standout last year, and an avid reader of Hugh Hefner’s literary magazine, Jamie will play a key role in the regionals this year and be an intergrate part of next year’s team. Another player outoftheC-West squad last season is Mark Swett. Better known as Sweetan, he i^the shortest player on the squad, and standing at 5’9”, is probably the world’s tallest midget. Mark having taken lessons from Earl “The Pearl,” has dazzled opponents on his shots many a time. The baby faced Swett has put up some shots that have brought the man with all the moves, D. Stoudmire, off the bench in disbelief. Snowball fighting was the in thing when there was enough of the fluffy white stuff. One night Woody, Jamie, and Toby - the equipment manager, were being bombarded by snowballs by Keith, “Ski” and Dennis. Jamie and company planned a last attack against their foes. After completion of this event, they all hopped inSweetan’s car, looking like a bunch of bank robbers making a fast get-away, avoiding retaliation by attackers. David Evans, the other player from New York City, has been dubbed with the name of’’juice” by his friends and teammates. This freshman shows a lot of maturity, and has shown Coach Kenner that he can be counted on in tight spots. A very quiet person, Juice charishes his solitude, but when thegamebegins he is the team’s biggest cheerleader. A reserve guard, at 5’1”, he can find the open man on offense and throw a picture-perfect pass to him for the assist. He is also one of the best defensive players on the team. David Hauser, out of Bath, is also a reserve who plays forward. His father, a math teacher at CCC, is David’s biggest fan. Anotherplayer who is a genius on the squad, David like Juice, enjoys his solitude. While on the road, Keith, wife doesn’t like the quiet often starts to talk to Dave. “Leroy”, as Keith calls Dave, “It is hard enough for me to say I’m from a town like Ithaca, but you being from Bath. Man. Leroy, that must be a bummer. Probably no one outside of the county ever heard of this place.” As if this weren’t enough, Keith gives Dave a kick in the posterior when he gets off the van, and politely says “We’ll see ya’ later, Leroy.” Chris Ignaszewski. Who? What? That’s Chris Ig-na-chef-ski. Chris was picked up at mid-season after the roster was cut by injuries and early retirement of some players. Chris’s will to work has been his main asset. Coach Kenner told Chris that he would not get much playing time this season, butChris responded, that is O.K., I just like to play this game. Kenner states “With the attitude like that, he draws respect from the players'as well as from me.” Chris, who is from Tyron, New York, can often be heard telling jokes on the bench. One such one is when CCC was being pressed most of the game, and Chris responded “I wonder if this is a permanent press?” And that is the story of Corning’s roundball team of 1973-1974. And so it goes. W ij K V ■i < KEITH CARRINGTON receives gameball
