Inside This Issue Computer virus plagues campus 2 Former USSR ambassador speaks out 3 Two-bit players take the stage 10 Volleyball season ends at Genesee Regionals 12 November, 1991 Volume XXXVII Issue 2 The Crier Corning Community College Pag* 2 Th* Crier 1991-92 November, 1991 news Virus attacks computer labs Kenneth Yentzer, Crier staff____________ Acomputer virus,comm only known as Stoned, was recently found to have infected over 15 computers on campus and over 150 data disks used by students regularly in the labs where the computers are located. Target areas were the Learning Center, Science building, and the Classroom building. Other viruses found on campus were The Brain and, in one instance, Jerusalem-B. A1 Ellison, a student who works in the labs frequently and who is also a work-study student that was involved in a project to rid the campus of this pesky virus, says, “It could have done a hell of a lot of damage...this is big time stuff.” He went on to say that, “The bug is gone. We have it under control. All the labs and computers are clean.” According to Ardic Wolcott, Software Specialist for Technical Services, the classrooms where the virus was found are S123, C205, C109, C108, LC105, and LC106. Students attending classes or using the computers in these rooms were required to have their personal data disks checked before using them in the computers. Also, those students who think they may have spread the virus to computers at home are encouraged to contact Wolcott in room LC105A. The majority of disks that were found to be infected were cleaned via a software package put out by McAfee Inc. Another software application marketed by Central Point Software, Inc. was used less frequently. This is the same package that can be used to identify over 223 known viruses. A quote from a book published by Central Point Software, Inc., defines a virus as, "A program designed to replicate and spread on its own, preferably without you knowing it exists.” This doesn’t mean that they will always have negative side effects to your computer system. As a matter of fact viruses initially were written as games, although many exist that were written for the purpose of causing damage. Many viruses do cause irreparable damage. Backup copies of all your software is recommended by reputable sources such as Kelly Reed, Hardware Specialist for Technical Services, who said that information can be lost for good if your disk becomes infected. Many times a virus is designed and intended to convey a message or make a point of some kind. For instance, the virus found on campus was found to sometimes show a message on the screen that said, “Your PC is Stoned.” Exactly how the program works is intrigues even the specialists on campus. There are variants of the Stoned virus that also read, “- Legalize Marijuana although according to Wolcott, this message did not appear on campus computers. Some common names or aliases for the Stoned virus are Hawaii, Marijuana, New Zealand, Smithsonian, andHamo. A virus doesn’t just happen to your computer. It is infected by either using software that has been intentionally planted with a virus, or it is contracted, in a sense, by accident; through the use of somebody else’s software that has already been infected. Most of the time, it is difficult for the usertoknowrightaway. The most common sources for contracting a computer virus are public domain software and files from bulletin board services. There have been isolated instances where students have purchased brand new games from the store, unwrapped them, and were not aware until some time later that the software had been infiltrated with a virus. “We want student cooperation as much as possible. If you are going to play games, public domain or at a friend’s house, play k to your heart’s content. Just don’t play it in here [computer labs],” remarked Wolcott the Monday that students came back from break three weeks ago. Wherever the virus came from, tiie problem now seems to be rectified, although one source that chooses to remain anonymous believes that [you can never be too sure if it is gone for good; or not|. All it would take is one infected disk to start the process all over again. Those who deserve credit for helping in the cleanup effort are CCC’s technical services group and various work-study students attending the college. Of the Technical Services group, Reed, hired this year, and Wolcott, were primarily responsible for discovering the problem and taking the proper measures to correct it. Also, steps are see VITUS page 5 A sign indicates trouble in one of the computer labs Corning students have opportunity to study abroad CCC students are now able to learn a new culture by studying abroad for a semester or year in the new international program that is offered on the campus. The College Consortium for International Studies (CCIS) is a group of colleges and universities that cooperate in order to give students the chance to study in a foreign country while earning credits towards a degree at their own school. Programs are offered in the following countries: China, Columbia, Cyprus, Denmark, Ecuador, England, Fmace, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Isreal, Italy, Jamaica, Mexico, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Thailand. Any student, nineteen yeas of age or older and with at least a 2.5 GPA, is eligible to register for these programs through CCC. The program costs vary depending on the country of study. Many studnets are eligible for most of the financial aid that they would be entitled to at their home institution. Pell Grants, TAP Grants, and student loans may be used for this program. Dr. Gunars Reimanis, Dban of see Abroad page 5 Nursing Grads among best Ninety six and one tenth percent (96.1 %) of the Coming Community College nursing graduates who took the state board exam for nursing in July successfully achieved licensure. The CCC graduates scored a 7.1 percent pass rate over the state average of 89 percent, said Bonnie Page, professor of nurse education. Forty nine of CCC’s 51 graduates passed the exam, known as the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX) which is administered throughout the nation in July and February. The pass rate in the nation for all associate degree programs is an average of 92.1 percent. Page, who is also chairperson of the Nurse Education, Health, Physical Education & Recreation Division, said 46 members of last year’s graduating class are employed, following a trend of most recent nursing graduates to find immediate employment or to continue their education. Nationwide, the New York State Nurses Association predicts a shortage of 600,000 nurses by the turn of the century. Analysts say one consequence of the shortage will be better salaries and working conditions with more flexible options. Currently, salaries range from $17,000 to $25,000 witiiin a 125-mile radius of Coming and continue to rise to meet the demand. NoTtmbtr, 1991 The Crier 1991-92 Page 3 Former USSR Ambassador addresses CCC Melissa A. Dewev. Crier Staff Approximately 600 people filled the CCC Gymnasium Thursday, September 26, to hear former U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union Jack Matlock speak on the recent events in the U.S.S.R., The program, one of CCC’s Brown Bag Forums, attracted not only CCC faculty, staff, and students, but 'many people from area high schools and the local community as well. Following an introduction by CCCPresidentDr. Donald Hangeu, Matlock spoke to the crowd on the history, present situation, and possible future implications of Ihe failed So- Diversity Discussion Aimed at CCC Melissa Dewey, Crier Staff Approximately 100 CCC Students, faculty, and staff as-well as local high school students attended a diversity semi-nar Thursday, October 24, in the Large Lounge of the Commons. The speech, given by Lc Norman Strong, was entitled “Preparing Now for an Effective Tomor-row-Eliminate Bigotry,” and was presented as part of the Brown Bag lecture series. Following an introduction by Brown Bag Foru m Coordinator Meta Spiegler, Strong began his talk by stating that bigotry is a “destructive cancer” promoted by people who lack understanding of others’ cultural heritage. Bigotry also occurs, stated Strong, “when well-meaning people do nothing,” or “when [people] ... allow insensitivity to take place unchallenged.” Challenging his audience to broaden their sensitivity and knowledge of other cultures, Strong had the audience participate in a game involving different culture terminology. Reactions to the activity was similar, as many people called themselves “culturally illiterate”. Stated Mike Vetter, first Semester Business Administration Student, “I learned that the college is very diverse-I didn’t know that everyone had all these [different] backgrounds.” The group also had a viet Coup in a speech entitled “NoU.S.S.R.? What Lies Ahead”. Matlock declared that the coup, a result of the many social and economic problems the nation faces, cleared away the barriers to free enterprise, but it did not solve those problems. Matlock stressed that though change mustcome slowly to avoid angering the people who will ultimately lose their jobs, the present shambled economy makes a change imperative. “We are living in a time when history is on a hinge [of change]...,” emphasized Matlock. The failure of the discussion on race, and definitions of race identity ranged from one’s heritage to “anything we use to separate ourselves from other people.” Participants were required to talk about pride for the accomplishments of their race, and Professor Vicie Washington, advisor to the Afro-American Cultural Awareness Club, moved the group when she stated that she was “thankful that those before us had the fortitude they did, so [that] we can be here today.” Strong concluded his talk on diversity by summoning up ideas of Martin Luther King, Jr., including some principles of social change, such as seeking understanding, friendship. coup, he continued, “...has opened up possibilities we didn’t have before.” Two possible futures for the U.S.S.R. exist, according to Matlock. Either a smaller, more limited union similar to the U.S. under the Articles of Confederation will result, or Russia will be the predominantpowersurrounded by independent and quasi-independent states of fairly large size. The only certain aspect of the coup attempt, Matlock continued, is that the “Soviet Union itself has practically ceased to exist” The future of and the defeat of injustice. Concluding, Strong noted “Nothing is easy that’s worth having.” He hoped the audience would Strive, however, for a “higher level of understand- : _ „ »9 tug- strong is the Executive Director for Campus Life at George Washington University, as well as the Chairperson for the Commission for Multicultural Education of the National Association of College Activities. the U.S.S.R. is and will continue for many months, to be uncertain. Currently, the Union of Sovereign States (the new name for the U.S.S.R.) lacks clear leadership. Several possibilities for a leader exist; however, Matlock did not think that U.S.S.R. President Mikhail Gorbachev or Russian President Boris Yeltsin were among the contenders. Comparing Gorbachev to a Hamlet figure, Matlock emphasized Gorbachev’s indecisiveness as a flaw in his leadership. Yeltsin, more street smart and charismatic in Matlock’s opinion, will benefit personally from allowing someone else to become President In this way, the downfall of the U.S.S.R. cannot be blamed personally on him. In question and answer periods following his speech and in a luncheon held in his honor, Matlock fielded questions on the Sovieteconomy and china’s reaction to the coup attempt The economy will take a long time to become stable, Matlock said, but “I [Matlock] don’t think they need elaborate plans [to solve the economic problems].” China, Matlock declared in response to another question, definitely wanted the coup to succeed. The U.S. attitude to the situation should be to support those states that agree with the traditionally-accepted American philosophies of democracy, openness,and human rights. Matlock was Ambassador to the U.S.S.R. from March 1987 to August 1991, following an eleven-year career at the American Embassy in the Soviet Union as a Foreign Service Officer. He has also been the Ambassador to Czechoslovakia and is an accomplished linguist in several languages. The program was brought to the CCC campus by Brown Bag Forum Coordinator Meta S pieg ler. Many groups contributed to the funding of Matlock’s visit, including the CCC Office of the President, the Faculty/Student Association, Student Government, Coming Incorporated Foundation, Dresser Rand, and MicroTechDcsign Corporation. Le Norman Strong CCC graduate wins Bachman award for outstanding work in human services Paula Stark of Campbell, rccreation/respite coordinator for Pathways Family Support Program, has been named recipient of the Corning Community College UndaHartcr Bachman Outstanding Human Services Worker Award. She is the fourth person to receive the award that was established in 1988 in honor ofBachman, aCCC graduate and counselor for the Steuben County Alcohol Abuse program. Noted for her outstanding work in human services, Bachman died four years ago at the age of 30. The award was established by family and friends to recognize someone making a contribution in human services. In a letter nominating Stark for the award, lean Perkins, Family Support Coordinator for Pathways, said: “Paula’s outstanding skills and abilities have allowed her to deal knowledgeably and effectively in die field of developmental disabilities. She acts as a strong advocate for the people we serve and her individual contributions have assisted many persons in realizing potentials. “While currently providing excellent services to children with developmental disabilities and their families and attending school full-time, she still finds time to maintain strong relationships with the people who live at the community residence. Paula's actions speak loudly of her belief in the rights of all individuals and her endeavors set a fine example for those around her, Such character and dedication is an asset to our field.” Paula graduated from Coming Community College in 1980 with an associate degree in Human Services and has been at Pathways since that time. $he will receive a $200 savings bond and a plaque. Nominations were open to CCC graduates working in human services in Steuben, Chemung and Schuyler Counties. Page 4_____________________________________________________________________The Crier 1991-92____________________________________________________________November, 1991 Editorial: Time to build dorms The time has come for Corning Community College to build dormitories on its campus. The Activities office, which coordinates off-campus housing has approximately 650 requests for a housing list each year. This number exceeds by far the number of available apartments or rooms for rent in the city of Coming. With enrollment increasing every year, the time may soon come when students are forced to go to school elsewhere simply because they can not find a place to live. The college can not afford to lose students to other schools because of a housing shortage. Building dorms would certainly be an expensive venture, but it would pay itself back more than once in the long run. There are many students at Coming Community College who commute from Elmira, Waiverly, Stephen M. Jimerson Hammondsport, Sayre, and many towns even further away. A growing number of students are coming from outside the tri-county area of Steuben, Chemung, and Schuyler counties. The construction of dormitories on campus would not only save valuable time for the students, but it would solve the present parking problem, as residential students would not need to have cars on campus. From an environmental perspective, it would save hundreds of gallons of gasoline and also wear on tires thereby conserving rubber. This may seem trivial, but with fewer exhaust fumes in the air and less waste, it would help to preserve the environments in the long run. One more thing that needs to be considered is the impact dorms would have on the students other than eliminating transit time. Dorms mean life on campus. Evening social activities would return to CCC. Clubs and organizations could operate outside of normal business hours thus increasing involvement. The effect this would have would be overwhelmingly positive. It would enhance the educational experience for students, as well as improve the attitude many people hold toward Coming Community College. Students are self-centered, materialistic, and apathetic The list of synonyms that Webster’s New Thesaurus has for the word materialistic include, possessive, opportunistic, and greedy. Unfortunately these terms describe all to easily the frame of mind of students and young people in the last decade of the twentieth century. The Reagan revolution of the eighties, not faultless by any stretch of the imagination, did manage to restore an optimism to America not seen since Detroit was into tail-fins. The United States in the seventies was marked by Vietnam, Watergate, disco, oil shortages, inflation, and what President Carter so eloquently described as a feeling of “malaise”. The era of L.B.J and Nixon was a time that was wrought with an angry “us” against “them” mentality, but are the sixties a period of our past best forgotten? RayVose When Reagan, in the campaign of 1984, asked the people of America if they were better off, they answered with a unanimousyes. Without question the eighties provided a time of economic prosperity for the majority of the people, but did they wash away the introspective lessons learned during the sixties? Student of the sixties and students of the nineties seem as different as day and night. Certainly the campus turmoil of a pervious generation is best left to the history books and P.B.S. documentaries, but should the idealism be totally forgotten? Should the remainder of our lives be shaped by our potential salaries, is our academic career to be fashioned by a goal of a split-level in the suburbs by the age of twenty-eight? Students of the sixties were hell-bent on changing the world, and the world is a different place today -- but have attitudes changed? Do we walk by a homeless person and offended, say to ourselves that government has to do something; or do we stop,offer a helping hand, and maybe the time to listen to there story? Hopefully once we achieve graduation and are launched into the real world, we will not be so wrapped up in our materialistic goals that we dump our social concerns into the federal government The bumbling lawmakers in Washington cannot be trusted even with their own checkbooks; is it wise to turn to them,in blind faith, Next Publication: early December - Deadline: November 20 The Opinions expressed in The Crier do not necessa rily reflect those ofThe Crier, its staff or Corning Community College.

Learn how to make a shaded box. Letters Accept uniqueness of people I’m responding to the Crier’s last issue of “Chiefly speaking” about Don Mattingly and his hair. Although some people may jump up and down screaming that people should fit into certain categories, I tend to disagree. We are all supposed to be different, like snowflakes and Cabbage Patch Kids. Wouldn’t it be boring if we were all robots programmed to fit into a dozen or so different groupings? The pickup lines would be “Sooo, what category do you fit in?” And the date would last only five minutes while each person told his/her own name, date-of-birth, and hometown. Everything else we would already know. Wouldn’t that be dull? Although the most trying times may be getting to know a person, getting to know the quirks that emerge, and accepting the fact that people are different, this time may also be one of the m«re interesting times when months pass and you can look back upon it. We’reall people. We’re all Homo Sapiens. Maybe that person who is a little different than you will fill a part of your life in a way no one else can, simply because you looked at him or her beyond their outward appearance. The best part is that there are so many people you haven’t met yeti Let’s start the fun I Jennifer Grace, Corning Students have nothing to complain about CCC has a lot to offer students; however, too often I hear people complain about the lack of things to do on campus. Malcontents such as these people talk of CCC as another high school or as “grades thirteen and fourteen”. The problem of inactivity lies not with the college but instead lies with the students voicing these complaints. Frequently, students come to CCC with the intent of “hanging out” with their buddies from high school. This means they sit with the same familiar faces in the dining room and sometimes even schedule classes together. While I’m not suggesting abandoning these friends, too often people depend on these old friendships for security, rather than work at making new friendships. The variety of programs on campus is amazing. Clubs exist for every interest- there are clubs for one’s major and clubs for drama, the radio station, etc. Sports and lunchtime activities (such as concerts, lectures, and comedians) are also available. These activities enhance the learning experience and encourage new friendships. Life at CCC can be interesting, but it requires involvement Too many people just come to their classes and then leave campus, and later wonder where their collegiate experience went Melissa A.

Crirr Staff____________:_______________ “No matter how complicated anything is, you can always break it down to (he basics to solve,” says Math Professor Patrick Keeler. “Just follow it step by step.” Witness his math teaching methods: when his Math 141 class was having trouble understanding functions, he broke it down to a few simple steps. “Krista, whatever number I give you, you square. Mark,you add three,and Jerry, multiply it by two. Easy enough?” Keeler has been teaching math for seventeen years, ten of them at CCC. When asked why he chose teaching, he explains, “1 really enjoyed learning, and math is so logical.” Besides teaching, Mr. Keeler also participated in the recent Community Cup Challenge, on the volleyball, golf, and running teams (which placed first again this year). “I used to run marathons but 1 gave it up five or six years ago.” Now he coaches softball and serves as treasurer for the Cinderella National Softball League. “I like working with kids.” Travel is also a hobby for Keeler and his family. Two summers ago they drove across the country, an experience, he says, every family should have. “For instance, the Grand Canyon. The pictures are wonderful, but you have to see it to believe it. It was awe inspiring.” This fall, he plans to travel to Indianapolis, for a National Youth Group Conference, with the fifty member Our Lady of Lourdes Youth Group. Keeler says he enjoys working at CCC. If he could change one thing he says, “Life would be so rrmich better if everyone would just smile more. A smile as y6u meet makes all the difference.” Pat Keeler, mathematics prof.

The American Red Cross will be in Spencer Pub from 9am to 3pm for blood donations. If you have never been a blood donor before, it is important for you to know that one out of every ten persons entering a hos- pital needs a blood transfusion. One unit of blood can be separated into five components and may help as many as five sick or injured people. Your donation might be used in the following ways: Red cells given to a person with anemia, white cells to a child with leukemia, plasma to a bum victim, platelets to a patient with internal bleeding and Cryoprecipitate given to a person with hemophilia - and it takes less than one hour. The health office can be contacted with any questions regarding the blood bank. Thank you for giving the gift of life!

Consciousness in a Shrinking World" A QOCJ With 710 1131716 by Linda George________________________ As the elected student representative to the executive board of NOHSE, I had the privilege of attending the national conference for Human Service education in Seattle, Washington during break week. The highlights of the conference, whose theme was “Expanding consciousness in a Shrinking World”, included keynote speaker, Peter Silva, who is plant personnel manager for Digital Equipment corporation, Chief of the Nipmuc Nation, and President of the New England Native American Institute, and a boat trip around Pudget sound to Tillicum Village for a salmon bake and Northwest Coast Indian dances. A personal highlight included attending a workshop with presenters (Jerald Corey mid Marianne Schneider Corey on group counseling. They have cowritten several books including, “Becoming a I lelper” the text used in Human Services 101 at CCC. As a result of the conference I had the opportunity loexpand my horizons and meet a diverse group of educators, professionals and students involved in Human Service across the nation. We shared ideas and visions for I Iuman Service Education and the profession. My goals as national student representative to the executive board include expanding the network for students in Human Service education, encouraging and coordinating student contribution to “The Link”, the NOHSE quarterly publication, and students support planning for next years conference in Washington, D.C. on “Politics in the Profession”. Any student wishing to contribute ideas or articles to the next publication of “The Link” can contact me through the Human Service club on Thursdays from 12:15 to 1:00 in N203. I would also like to lake this opportunity to thank all the people who supported me in this endeavor including the Human Services Division, I Iuman Service club, Project Pace, all my instructors, and Rob Lawson, my mentor at the conference and executive board meetings. by Patrick Connor, Chaplain Today I met the campus canine who taughtme a lesson without a lecture. I didn’t take any notes. I noticed these two mutts slumbering peacefully on the grass, undisturbed by passers-by. I sat down on a nearby bench, hoping to introduce myself to them. After all, dogs are people too! I can be a bear if awakened, so I didn’t disturb them. Something did, as their ears went up, but only one eye opened and their tails wagged a few times. I was making progress! Then the tails slopped wagging, the ears lowered and the eye began to close. Do something! So I whistled. They got to their feet (paws), yawned, wandered over and put their heads on my lap, tails wagging rapidly. Their soft fur warmed my hands, cold from the morning air. I looked for some I.D. on their collar but there was no name. They were looking me over too- for food. All I had was gum, but I didn’t want a summons from the S.P.C.A. (Society for the Invention of Cruelty to Animals!). So I gave what 1 could- Compliments and caresses. “Good dog,” “Good dog!” while pelting them on the head. I noticed the people walking by, and wondered i f they needed “compi i mcnls and caresses.” I didn't know their names either, and wondered if they were hungry for food and love. Tliese dogs at my feet taught me dial we all belong- and a good education starts from that lesson. Life doesn’t always give us a sense of belonging. It’s a choice we make even when there are no “compliments or caresses”- or people to call us by name. I’m one of die chaplains here at CCC, and like to think we, along widi die staff and faculty, can offer a “sense of belonging” to ull students “passing by" and through these halls of learning.

November, 1991 The Crier 1991-92 I’lige 9 Creative Corner Roll Call by Ray Vose The dreary early October sky shed a gray light into the small classroom. Like many other freshman classes that Andy took at the local community college, this one was almost full. Students quietly shuffled books and papers to themselves as the professor walked in, his own papers leaking out of a leatherette folder. The class quieted down quickly and Andy sat patiently in anticipation until the professor started to read the “S” names on the role. With a sigh the instructor asked, “Did Maria Silva decide to start her college career yet?” Pen in hand, the teacher looked at the silent class in front of him for a moment The mysterious student had yet to show up for a class. WHen he once again put a red check by the name in his class roster, the class then began to snicker as if they were sharing a dirty joke with him. Andy couldn’t laugh; what was it about that name that made every nerve in his body stand on end? At the beginning of the semester he thought it was something about the teacher that made him feel so peculiar, but he knew now that it was the name that was acting as a trigger. He slouched further down into his chair, positive tliat everyone in the room was watching his reaction to tliat mysterious name on tile rooster. He put his mind in neutral and prepared to coast through another class. Andy’s October fell from his grasp like the leaves falling from the trees. Several times he walked out of the school library only to stop, turn around, and look back at the building - wondering what he had just been doing there. He was losing whole blocks of time. anywhere from ten minutes to three hours. His library “loss” was averaging at least an hour and a half each. He tried to tell himself that it was the pressure of college life, but had a tough time convincing himself. It had become increasingly more difficult for Andy to attend his English class throughout the month. Once the professor read off Maria Silva’s name, expecting the customary giggle from the class; instead the instructor received a sudden, bizarre string of profanities from a wildeyed Andy. The professor questioned him after class, but he had absolutely no recollection of the incident. Andy dropped the class the next day. People were starting to talk about Andy the week before the Halloween dance. When he walked across the campus between classes, other students would walk wide circles around him and talk in hushed tones. His professors began to complain to the administration, but were told that there was nothing that could be done; Andy was attending all his classes and achieving very good grades. Concerns continued to be raised as Andy’s personal appearance and hygiene deteriorated throughout the days before the Halloween dance. The night of the dance came quickly; it was a crisp, clear night filled with the pungent smell of decaying leaves. The college gym was decorated inside and out. Loud music escaped the building everytime a door was opened. Nobody saw the tall, slim figure pull up on a small motorcycle near a back door. Andy pulled up on the bike next to some bushes. He shut the motor off, but he did not put the motorcycle’s kickstand down and the bike fell quietly against the shrub. His body was slow to respond in the frosty air, for he was dressed only in jeans and a tee-shirt. He moved slowly into the building and stood in an empty hall while he warmed up. Dance music filled his ears as he smelled the tart scent of hot cider. He pulled the short length of steel cable from his pocket and wrapped it loosely around his right hand. The haunting voice that had begun talking to him two weeks ago now entered his mind again (It’s time Andy, tonight is the night we have been waiting for, are you ready?). “Yes, I think so. Is this the only way?” Andy responded silently to the feminine voice. (Andy, do you love A Prayer of a Recovering Alcoholic God Thank you for today; I did not take a drink. God thank you for the strength To give me the wisdom to think. God thank you for sobreity, I no longer have to get high. God thank you for the serenity Of another sober sunrise. God thank you for the PEACE That I now feel wlithin my soul. God thank you for helping me To realize I can reach my goals. God thank you for the warmth You have placed within my heart. God thank you for answering my prayers By showing where to start. God thank you for helping me to find Someone that I could not see. God thank you for helping me to fine That someone I call me! meT) “But, but, is this really the only way?” (Andy, do you love me?) “Yes... yes...yes! You know I do!” (Then go Andy,go now.) Andy walked to the dance floor with his hands in his pockets. He went to the bleachers that were close to the restrooms and sat quietly, waiting. Some students who were nearby recognized him and silently walked away, afraid to even look at him longer than just a moment. He waited for nearly twenty minutes before she spoke to him. (There Andy, on the dance floor; do you see him, the one in the gray suit with the red tie?) “Yes.” (Good, in just a moment he will go into the bathroom. That will be the place.) “O.K.” (I love you Andy.) “I love you.” Johnny Ray, one of the college’s most popular football players, was enjoying the dance immensely. His girlfriend had picked out the gray suit and the red tie he was wearing and he had already received several compliments for it. He was getting sweaty quick though, so when the band took a break, he took the opportunity to run into the bathroom to wash his hands and face. The big jock went into the men’s room just the way Andy was told. He waited acouple of moments and then went into the bathroom behind him. The jock was at the hand-dryer, nibbing his hands in the air flow. Andy took out the cable and stretched it tightly between his hands as he walked towards the jock’s back. He did not see the candy wrapper on the floor that he was about to step on. The hand-dryer clicked off before Johnny Ray’sliands were completely dry. He hesitated a mo- ment, trying to decide if he should turn it back on again, or just give his hands a good shake. It was at that moment he heard a sound. Instinctively he looked into the mirror in front of him. There was someonecoming up behind him quick! He spun around with his arms raised in protective stance. Just as Andy was about to reach up, wrap the cable around the big brute’s neck, and pull with all his might, the jock spun around. He struck Andy across the forehead with his thick forearm. Andy wascaught totally unaware-he fell backwards striking the tiled wall behind him. He heard a sharp cracking sound. A white shearing pain flashed through his body. Then, just as suddenly, everything went dark. Andy’s heart stopped pumping a few moments later. Johnny Ray stared at the crumpled body in the comer. When he saw the blood ooze slowly across Andy’s cheek and drip onto the floor, he gasped, and began to mutter, “Need an ambulance, need an ambulance, need an ambulance...” as he burst out of the bathroom doors. The next morning Miss Sanders, the school librarian, thought of the previous night’s tragedy as she unlocked the back door to the library. Everyone was believing the football player’s story of self-defense; but it still seemed so strange, even for he had come in almost every day for a month to look at the microfilm copies of the local newspaper. Yesterday he had done the same, but had forgotten the folder he always carried. She walked over to the lost and found shelf and saw the folder was right where she had put it last night after closing up. She stood at the shelf and opened it up. It was full of photocopy after photocopy of a tragic murder that happened more than thirty years ago. A pretty young cheerleader has been raped and then brutally killed. A group of football players had been accused, but were released late that same year on a technicality The cheerleader's name was Maria Silva. But why had tliat troubled young man been so interested in something tliat happened so long ago? Miss Sanders stared at the old news stories, then looked over her shoulder briefly and quickly turned back to the shelf in front of her. She put the clippings back into their folder and then discreetly tossed it all into a nearby wastebasket. The painful memories of the Halloween dance hung over the campus like low winter clouds for the rest of the semester. By the time final exams and the Christmas season passed by, the events of the dance had started to fade. When the new semester in January finally came, it seemed like a fresh start. Sam felt like an accomplished freshman on the cold January day, after all he had a whole semester now under his belt. He wandered into his math class and found an empty seat towards the back. He didn’t see anybody he knew in this class, but that was all right, for this was the first room all day that was even half-way warm. As he took his jacket off and unpacked his books, the teacher read down the c lass roster. The class shushed as he began to repeat a name on the list. “Maria Silva, is there a Maria here today? Maria...speak up if you are here, math class is not a place for shy people,” he said. A couple of people giggled at the professor’s comment, but Sam felt a sudden chill and the beginnings of a pounding headache. He assured himself that it was just a cold he was catching. He put his new bomber jacket back on and reminded himself to get some cold medicine on the way home. □ Page 10 The Crier 1991-92 November, 1991 entertainment Oz makes move from screen to stage The Cowardly lion (B.J.

November, 1991 The Crier 1991-92 Huge 11 Summer’s movies prove to be quite a treat A.J. Treat, Critique Extrordinaire______ This summer alot of great movies came to the big screen. Out For Justice, Robin Hood, and Terminator II were my personal favorites. All three were box office hits and really cool movies. I suggest checking them out as soon as you can or running over to the local video store for rental. Steven Segal had a great slue of movies, if you like action / violence movies with lots of karate kicks and stuff like that, all Segal movies are for you. I highly recommend Out For Justice, as another great movie. Kevin Coster was a fantabulous Robin Hood in one of this past summers most incredible action / adventure / love story films. Mary Elizabeth Masteran-tonio played the part of maid Marion and the' movie critics ate the hole new version of the “Robin Hood” story line right up. One of my personal all time favorites, go buy Robin Hood when it comes out on video. Last but not least ais this summers biggest hit of all, Arnold Swartzenegar in Terminator II. This movie cost around 85 milloin dollars to produce, and it was worth every penny. Unfortunatly 1 was crazy enough to go see it five or six times. I think I paid back my share of 85 million a few times over. No new European Sports Cars this year. Thats it, the all time greatist movies of the summer of nineteen ninety one (1991). Please support our failing economy by purchasing tickets, clothes, videos, anything, tliat support these incredible movies. It will make you feel much better way down deep inside. This is Roje Eggbert saying “I’ll see you at the movies." □ Pazzo: Corning's Sunday night hot spot Ray Vose, Crier Staff “There is nothing to do in this town!” — How often have we heard this comment about ourcommunity? The voices of those between the ages of eighteen and twenty have not gone unheard by a pair of local businessmen. Tom and Don Lando are not only brothers who arc well known throughout the Coming area, but are also co-owners or Pazzo Restaurant and Bar. Pazzo, already a popular establishment in downtown Coming, is located at the former site of Wet Goods at 54 West Market Street. The Lando’s have recognized a need of college-aged people since they opened their business last June, by offering what is known as over/under night every Sunday at Pazzo. Sundays at eight the doors to Pazzo are open to anyone at least eighteen years of age. For the first two hours of ’ the evening, conversation with friends and new acquaintences is backdropped by a good mix of the latest pop, reggae, and rock music. Around ten o’clock the gears shift to high-energy dance music with a live dee-jay every week. “There should be a place for college age kids to mingle and dance. We provide a nice, well supervised atmosphere — an opportunity for them to get off the street.” says Tom Lando, coowner. Lando is also quick to point out that Pazzo is “not & here today, gone tomorrow establishment.” When asked if there has been any type of conduct problems, Lando says that there has been no trouble and points out the fact tliat they liave a very thorough I.D. check at the door. Under-age drinking is not tolerated at Pazzo. Before you say,’’What is there to do around here?” next Sunday night, drop by Pazzo Restaurant and Bar at 54 West Market Street in Coming. Stop in with your friends, meet new people, enjoy the music, and dance the night away; for Monday morning will bring another day of classes. □ -f Page 12 The Crier 1991-92 November, 1991 Volleyball team finishes brilliant season at Genesee Regionals Jason Emerson, Sports writer Behind the cannon arm of Nikki Kimble, the Red Barons women’s volley ball team were led to one of their best seasons. Kimble, Most Valuable Player of the Thompson Cortland Community College invitational and also selected to the all Penn York conference team, was supported by a talented cast which wrapped up the 1991 season with a 21-12-1 record. Among the deep pool of supporting talent the Red Barons possessed was Nicole Mathers. The 6’1" frame of Mather’s kept opposing offences at bay with her blocking, while the defensive play of Kris Venczel was crucial throughout the Red Baron’s season. A key to the Red Baron’s offense was the serving power of Mikki Niver. This wealth of talent led the Red Barons to their success at the numerous tournaments they took part in. With the guidance of coach Mary Men's soccer team shows improvement in Fall ’91 season DA. Cunningham, Sports writer The Red Bartons’ Mens Soccer Team finished a tough season with a 1-0 loss to Alfred in the National Junior College Athletic Association Regionals. The season record, 5-13, did not, in Coach Henry Fergusen’s opinion, reflect the current level of the team’s play since most of the wins were obtained in the later part of the season. Coach Fergusen was especially pleased with the performance of the defense, which started the season with no keeper. The play of sweeper Mike Sherman and outside fullbacks Trip Ellison and Shane Homes was particularly note worthy. Among the possible returning players for next season are Steve Farwell, forward, who racked up 11 goals and 1 assist during the season, and Dave Loomis, mid-fielder. Gail Lee, the Red Barons won the Sullivan Trail conference tournament and went on to the Penn York tournament. The players came together brilliantly as a team to win a seat in the semi-finals. When they reached the semi-finals, Niagra College proved to be a worthy opponent defeating the Red Barons. Coach Lee, recognizing that “Every single person contributed in the Penn York tournament”, regarded this years team as one of the most talented teams she has ever worked with. Despite the loss in the Penn York tournament the Red Baron’s still won a spot on the Genesee Regional Championships. The Red Barons showing at the Genesee Regioanl Championships was the perfect ending to the 1991 season. Intramurals still running rampant D.A.

Choose good health over tobacco 'M&wrmrm ~ Get ready, get set, go for the Great American Smokeout. On Thursday, November 21 st, the day of the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smoke out, we’re asking students to drop out from using tobacco. This means dippers and chewers too. The American Cancer Society sponsors the Great American Smokeout each year to encourage smokers to take a break from tobacco for 24 hours, just to prove to themselves that they can do it Dippers and chewers are also asked to drop their habit for the day. Quit for a day and then for life is our motto according to coordinators Carol Jorden and Angela Selbago. At CCC, Smokeout efforts will receive a boost from our own radio station WCEB as they broadcast with KZ106 li ve right from the Commons Lobby starting at U A.M. The Great American Smokeout is an important and fun event so we've planned some entertaining activities. There is something for every’ one; tee-shirts, raffles, give aways, survival kits. The cafeteria will serve “cold turkey” sandwiches. We’re hoping students, faculty and staff both smokers and non smokers will participate. Non-smokers especially former smokers can participate by adopting a smoker or a dipper and offering support during the day. We will provide information and some materials to help, but non-smokers supply the winning ingredient by showing their friends who smoke that they are concerned and willing to lend support.
