The CRIER Number 4 The Crier, Thursday, November 7, 1985 Volume XXVI Crichton Comes To CCC "Computers will alter our society in a way we can't see now," believes author Michael Crichton, and they will become important in other areas besides math and science areas.' Crichton, as the second of Coming Community College's Visiting Scholars, gave a presentation about the changing form of computers on Thursday, October 24, 1985 in the Large Lounge. He followed up his talk with a Reaction Symposium on Friday. Judged by his height alone (about 6'10"), Michael Crichton may have been the most prominent speaker in our Visiting Scholar series, even though he was probably the youngest of the guests to appear on these programs. But Crichton has a lot more going for him than simply height and youth. He wrote “Andromeda Strain” while a student at Harvard Medical School, and since that time he has scored with other novels including "Terminal Man," "Congo," 'The Great Train Robbery," and "Eaters of the Dead.” He has written screenplays for his own novels, and for others, and has directed film productions for T.V. as well as the movies. "Westworld" and "Looker" were directed by him. He is now involved in directing some of the Alfred Hitchcock series for NBC's 1986 promotion. Crichton is not only a novelist and film director. His "Five Patients," a critical look at hospital and medical practices, has been translated Into 20 languages. His most recent book is on computers, with which he is deeply involved. His articles on programming have appeared in many of the computer magazines(including his programming of the I Ching!). Indeed, he is now dashing off top-selling computer games for this growing market. Computers will become an art form, a set of procedures to accomplish a task, whether that task may be creating a video game or writing a novel or screenplay. Using the example of writing a novel, which is a long and laborious process, he said a word processor can eliminate much of the “dirty work," such as revisions and retyping, although some authors are still hesitant about using such a machine. Easier storage of novels, for instance, will allow libraries, both public and private, to store one million volumes within the next five years on a compact laser disc. The cost of such a library would be close to the cost of a new automobile. Crichton commented, "One compact laser disc is equal to 84 feet of bookshelf space and can contain every edition of ‘The New York Times." Task Force Formed Scullin Speaks For Sen. Alfonse D’Amato. Drug trafficking is the number one law enforcement problem, according to Fredrick J. Scullin, Jr., U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York. The Justice Department is dealing with the problem with a combination of increased prosecution and public education. ‘Two-and-a-half years ago the U.S. Attorney General announced a nationwide assault on drug trafficking," said Mr. Scullin. "Three years ago we spent 50 percent of our time on criminal cases. Today it's closer to 75 percent criminal cases with approximately 50 percent of that total being drug-related.” In the last three years Mr. Scullin's office has prosecuted 130 drug cases involving 270 defendants and $18 million worth of drugs. They have achieved a 100 percent conviction rate. "One of the prime reasons for our success has been the development of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Network which has brought together federal, state, and local law enforcement authorities," Mr. Scullin said. 'There are certain criteria that must be met before the network goes into action. These are: It must be a multiple (jurisdiction case, either intercounty or cross district; involve a large volume of drugs, and be a sophisticated network of distribution." -Liberal Arts Workshop- In order to meet the advising needs of liberal arts faculty more effectively, a group pre-registration session will be held on November 14 from 12:15-2:00 p.m. on the second floor of the classroom building, room c-203. In addition to receiving updated Information on program requirements and new courses, students will have the opportunity to get acquainted with liberal arts and science faculty who will serve as academic advisors for that day. Although group registration does not eliminate choosing the older system of individual registration, it gives the student an opportunity to receive information on appropriate elective and upper-level choices, as well as to hear explanations of these electives. Attending the general registration will also give the student an efficient and convenient way to plan his spring schedule and have first choice of courses, times and instructors. Even though the resources to investigate and prosecute drug traffickers has doubled In the last three years the drugs continue to flow. Approximately 10 percent of the total drug flow is presently being intercepted. 'The demand for drugs remains. We are devoting our efforts to both enforcement and education to remove the demand. We intend to work with parent, school, and student groups to develop new and better programs," Mr. Scullin said. "Remove the demand and we eliminate the traffickers." Mr. Scullin's presentation was attended by approximately 60 people. Among those in attendance was state senator William Smith of Big Flats. corning community college The Crier, Thursday, November 7, 1985 STUDENT NOTICES -Club Doings- APC Wednesday,November 20, 6:00-10:00.

Through the effort of Dr. Lester Rosenbloom, on November 14, business majors will no longer be ignorant about registration procedures. Dr. Rosen bloom will be sending out a letter to business majors stating the date and time registration will take place as well as the room numbers for specific degree programs. The registration program Is broken up Coming Community College announces the return of the London Theatre trip. The three credit hour college course in theatre includes a two-week tour of Dublin, Manchester, York, Stratford-on-Avon and London. The trip is planned for January 5-19, 1986. There are no prerequisites for the course. Persons in-tersted in the trip, but not the college credit, may participate by registering for the course as an audit. Fees would be the same. Total cost(including airfare, course tuition, lodging, ground transportation, theatre tickets )is projected to be between $800 and $1000. The proposed tour involves bus or van travel to New York City, flying from New York City to Shannon, Dublin for a performance and tour of the Abbey Theatre. From Dublin the group will go to Manchester to attend the Royal Exchange Theatre with a day trip to Chester and a visit of the stately home. Bra mall Hall in the suburbs of (Manchester. From Manchester, the group will travel to York by way of Wakefield in order to see the location of the medieval play performances and then on to Stratford-on-Avon for two performances at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. From Stratford, a visit to Bath to tour the costume museum and baths is the next to last stop before the trip winds up in London where performances at the National Theatre and several other playhouses are scheduled. Tour guide and instructor for the course will be Hank Moonschein, Professor of English and Theatre at C.C.C. Information meetings will be held in early November to explain registration and passport procedures. Interested persons should contact Judy Bacalles at the College's Continuing Education Office, 962-9222. Other programs will be listed accordingly. Advisors, tutors, and peer advisors who have knowledge of that particular program will be available to help students on an individual basis. If a student feels she needs more time to discuss needs or problems, she could make an appointment with her advisor to resolve them. Because this group registration takes place one week before actual registration, the business student will have ample time to select classes that will be open. Business majors should look forward to registration this year and view it as a helpful way to obtain much needed information about programs. Students urged to apply now for supplemental Financial Aid. Students who need to supplement their state and federal financial aid packages for the 1985-86 school year were urged today to apply for private foundation and corporate funding.

They are more conservative politically, more outrageous sodally(at least the ones with half heads and rings dangling from the nose and ears) and as one of their own put it "self absorbed" to an art. Now I'm a baby boomer and may be writing this letter because I turn 30 in November, but I think I finally understand this "new breed." Fate has dealt that these people follow a generation of great numbers. This huge generation of generally high achievers called Yup-pies(l missed the Yuppie boat) gets all the attention of anybody in the world who wants to sell something(and everyone wants to do that). The current generation of high achievers, Post-Yuppies, of "Puppies" as Daniel Schnur of Newsweek calls them, can't get a leg up. Sure the Puppies have their MTV but look at all those Yuppies in everything else on TV and who are those announcers on MTV anyhow. Yuppies have Rock 'n Roll down pat, they ve been practicing for twenty-five years, Yuppies have jobs, the influence and the money, but most important they have the numbers. I guess my heart goes out to the Puppies while I keep striving to be a Yuppie. Don't give up your fight puppies it will probably go on all your life. And 30 years from now when you're sitting through one more of my generations Geritol commercials, don't have any regrets in pushing the Yuppies out of the way, you have the right. Robert W. Ameigh Jr. 218 W. First St. Elmira, NY 14901 “One Man s Opinion” Ric Smith Editor, New York State citizens must wear their seatbelts since the law was passed January 1, 1985, or pay a $ 50 fine. Education and persuasion are better routes for encouraging people to fasten their seatbelts rather than making it a law. Citizens should be persuaded through public service announcements, television and school to wear their seatbelts. Twelve thousand people die each year because they don't wear their seatbelts. However an adult, aware of the facts, is capable of making such a decision without government intervention. If the legislatures can force us by law to wear seatbelts to save our lives then is it within their power to ban cigarettes or alcohol? These are major tax items. There are other ways to compensate those people that do wear seatbelts for the money they save the insurance company. Those that don't wear seatbelts could receive less insurance money. A jury in Ontario, Canada, reduced the damages in an accident because the victim had not worn a seatbelt. Thus the responsibility is placed on the Individual, and he receives the resulting penalties of his actions. Most Importantly the person was allowed to make that decision right or wrong. Other states are picking up on this law and as Walter Goodman, in Nation Magazine said. It will prove popular, because what legislature can resist such a virtuous and easily enforced way to squeeze a few more dollars out of otherwise law-abiding citizens." Monica DePalma It is one of the paradoxes of the Reagan administration that while he was elected on a platform of getting the government off the people's back his term has seen the government attem-iting to interfere in two of the most per-xtal areas of life. These are the odroom (abortion) and the classroom prayer). The question of abortion is not one hat the government can answer. It should be decided by each individual. The Right-to-Life position, which the government is supporting in a pending case before the Supreme Court, seeks to push their value system on all of us. In practical reality what would happen if abortion was again outlawed? The poor would be forced to use coat hangers and bock street butchers while the rich would go to clinics overseas or to corrupt doctors. This is getting the government off the back of the people? One of the greatest freedoms that we enjoy in this nation is the freedom of This includes freedom from religion. According to surveys done by Pat Robertson's 700 Club over 80 percent of the American people believe In God. Yet these very same people and the Reagan administration would have us believe that the nation is going to hell in a hand basket because every school day doesn't start with a prayer. Forcing religion on the people Is getting off their back? When Ronald Reagan said he was going to get the government off the people's back he didn't tell us he meant people who make over $100,000 a year. Those people have had the government cut their taxes by 33 percent and get off their backs. Those same people, if they own business, have seen a cutback in OSHA and other employee safety program inspections. It is time we told the Reagan administration we want them off our backs and out of our personal domains. We can best accomplish this by electing representative in 1986 that will reflect Dear Editor, Another tragedy has befallen the city of Elmira. On Saturday, October 19, a young mother of five was brutally and senselessly murdered by a man she didn't even know. Where has our society gone wrong to allow this to happen? The man was on parole from Attica where he had been released sixteen days ago with time off for good behavior. Just what does that mean? Is good behavior merely obeying the rules or doing what you are told? Can this be a judgement of how a person will behave upon release? There has to be another, a better way, to judge when and how a person should be released to put an end to the senselessness of Saturday's incident. Could not a trustee be released on furlough under close supervision for a brief period of time before being released on parole? Must society continue to feel threatened by the penal system that can find no way to deal with a tragic situation that is reaching epidemic preportions? The police are looking for a motive for Saturdays's stabbing. Should not a motive be sought for the tragedy that happened sixteen days earlier when a man was released from prison merely because he knew how to obey the rules? Therein lies the real crime. Regina Houston To the Editor: In reference to last issue's letter to the Editor, I would like to know who D.B. is. Why did he or she not sign his or her name? Isn't this customary for a letter to the Editor? Next, I would like to ask what the point of D.B.'s letter was. In my opinion, this was nothing more than a character assassination of R.T. Recotta. D.B. challenged Mr. Recotta’s article but offered no proof that his statements were false. D.B. also assumed that Mr. Recotta is only 19 years old, and therefore unqualified to understand “worid matters." That is ridiculous. What does age have to do with caring about what happens in our world? D.B. asked “What gives R.T. the right to ask, What ever happened to the rebels without causes?" The United States Constitution gives R.T. that right. Again I would like to ask what the point of D.B.'s letter was. At the end of the letter, D.B. signed himself "A Rebel with a cause." Well, what is his cause? I read D.B.'s letter several times but could not discover what it is. D.B. took great pains in claiming that R.T. Recotta has no cause but failed to state his own. if D.B. would like to respond to this letter, I would be happy to listen. Signed, Lisa M. Kuhnel -Social— -Problems Dear Mr. Editor: What's all this talk about rebels and causes(or lock thereof)? Hey all you rebel rockers...I give thee a cause: November 15th is the United Way "November Blow-Out" Social, featuring the ROCKIN', one-and-only, spiffy band, CHEATER. You're not only supporting a good cause, you get to:munch free pizza, guzzle free soda, participate in the males “Sexiest Legs Contest"(more on that later), hear who won in each of two raffles, rock away with terriffic music, AND it's the last social before the “you-know-what" age goes up... I More stuff Is added to the list every day so COME ON I Now's your big chancel Lot's see whatchya got guys I I would also like to thank the members of Fury for the terrific T.G.I.F. Social last Friday(Oct. 18). If you weren't there you really missed out. Included were some Impressive oldies from the likes of Van Halen and Kiss, to name a few-and Jon Bon Jovi has some competition with their performance of "In and Out of Love.” They were GREAT, especially after they loosened up a bit In the second set(l don't blame them, considering Sean's cold and the unresponsive audience they had). They definately rocked the cobwebs off the Spencer Pub walls I Too bad the crowd wasn't as impressive..I mean, HOW can you people sit during a song like "Walk This Way?” I was also really disgusted as I watched a large number of people grab free food and drink and run upstairs to "wait for the bus." COME ON PEOPLE! If nothing else, think about common courtesy(or is that out of season these days?). And don't give me that line about “Oh, the bus was coming..." Thanks also go to Vicki Vincent, who pulled the whole thing together seemingly single-handedly in no time at all, and to spirited people like Valerie(Number 1 Motley Crue fan)Stuart. Again, thanks to the Rockers in Fury for a great show... So what's it gonna be...ya gonna make up for all this apathy November 15th or what? Countin' on ya, Julie Metal _________The Crier, Thursday, November 7, 1985 OPINIONS AND LETTERS Student Government Gets Stroked — 7 "From the Editors Desk" Student Government is alive and well and working for your benefit, in spite of an incredible and unfortunate state of ignorance and general disinterest on the part of the student body. And that's a shame, because the members of the government, particularly the Executive Board, are doing a tremendous job this semester. The meetings are organized, orderly, efficient and effective. Think back to your high school's student government. Chances are that Student Body President was synonymous with "most popular". Fortunately, Coming is different. This is not to imply that President Rick Madl isn't popular, he is. The point is that he's president for all the right reasons. Every member of student government is there because he or she wants to be. The responsibilities of a member cannot be taken lightly. It is a time consuming position, for one must constantly be receptive to student body input. Unfortunately, this input seems virtually non-existent. Student government isn't a |oke; it's a means for you, the CCC student, to voice your concerns to the proper authorities and perhaps initiate some positive action. In recent weeks, student government has convinced T&T Bus Company of Caton, N.Y., to add another bus to it's Horseheads-Elmira route. Sadly, this venture was ultimately unsuccessfuly because of a lack of student support. However, Senator David Viele deserves special congratulations for his extraordinary efforts. Student government is also in the process of obtaining a 100-watt transmitter for WCEB-FM which would allow the station's broadcasts to reach beyond the campus boundaries and make the station a true public service medium. There is now an orderly system for scheduling fund raisers such as pizza and bake sales around campus. In addition, ski club has been reorganized and is once again a major organization. Even though all 15 senatorial position are now filled, go and voice your opinion. Talk to your input, thoughts and concerns. If something's bothering you, complain. If something's right, say so. Just let them know you're there! Remember, it's not |ust any government; it's student government. Samantha has informed me that it is yet again time for me to write from my desk, you'd think that by now she'd bekind enough to write for the Crier. But NOooo! She'd rather study hard and tell me that I get carried away sometimes. Me? Carried away !! ? ? Folks, this is the girl who isn't satisfied with visiting the White House, she has to go on her own tour and advise the Secret Service where the best places to stand are... But, mentioning the best places, the Crier does need some more writers and artists. Most of us like to see our name and picture in print, and the Crier is a good way of getting some press experience. If you really put some effort into it. Try it, you'll like it. issue no.3 of the Crier was a sort of framework overall. Now we will fill it with many rooms of different designers and decor. This issue, we're bringing back the “help wanted" column (it's that time of the year my friends) and we're bringing to life what I refer to as "The Monster." It's a sort of radioactive personals section that has been turned in to us over the past couple of weeks. Check them out. you might find yourself, or a friend, in there. And if you don't, feel free to submit. And if you have an idea of something you'd like to see In the Crier, write us at the Crier PO Box 200, Corning Community College, Coming, NY 14830. Well, I want to wish you all the warmest, and watch out for Dutch Theologist. Thanks for your support and interest.

Stardate: 11 /7/85 The captain of the Crier stands atop his desk, hand raised in the air (nearly touching the ceiling).

THE COLLEGE STORE MONDAY -FRIDAY 8:30-4:00 The Crier, Thursday, November 7, 19^5 ENTERTAINMENT AND REVIEW 9 MIDNIGHT MOVIE Sliver Billet PINK FLOYD: THE WALL -Private Screening Movie Reviews By: J.Bluemist Nightmare on Elm Street II, Freddie's Revenge Five years ago Robert Englund played the roll of Fred Cruger (Mass teenage murderer and general villian) in a Nightmare on Elm Street. It was a notable accomplishment this October that there were comparatively few splatter films as compared to years past.,NOES 1 came on the entrails of the last days of it's film genre, about the time most of the other mass (teenager) murderers were living in sequal profit. Today NOES 2 stands virtually alone. NOES 2 had a bonus of about $200 in its budget than its predecessor. To be frank, this movie was as awful as its predecessor. The miniature effects (the bus scene) footage was right out of Godzilla vs the Smog Monster in budget as well as believe ability. In an attempt to create a plot different from the first movie the producers stooped to incinerating parakeets, perverted coaches, and vagrant boas. What plot there was had the scenario of Freddy enlisting the aid of the new kid on the block to kill the people who killed him that he didn't kill in the first movie. The Pnumatic Duo manage to kill only one of them which grossly leaves room for a third movie. Overall, if you have choice, stay home and play with your goldfish as opposed to seeing this relic of no contributing artistic quality from another decode. This movie is at most worth 5O cent out of four dollars. Jagged Edge Jagged Edge is a movie that reminded me a lot of those real life docu-dramas that we were talking about. It's story consisted of a murder, a love story, and a trial all mangled into a beast called film. Directed by Richard Marquaid and starring Glenn Close and Jeff Bridges, the movie was quick paced and entertaining. It did however, have a lot of holes in it's plot that made the story a little bumpy to accept afterwards, it was however, built with a thick plot of apparent and hidden clues that confused and delighted the viewer to the end. If you like "Whodunnits" then this is the picture to see. Skillfully directed by Richard Marquald, you became one of the jury, and yet something a little more and a little less. Out of the $4.00 I paid for this movie, it was worth $2.50. Sweet Dreams "Sweet Dreams" is the story of country-western singer Patsy Cline(played by Jessica Lange)from the begging of her career to it's tragic end. In the words of our Editor-in-Chief, "H you've seen one 'rags to riches' country western singer story, you've seen them all." Nathan's theory was certainly proved true by this movie. Of the seven people in the theatre, besides my date and myself, I think four were devoted Patsy Cline groupies, one was a Kenny Rogers admirer, and two were Eurith-mics fans that wandered in off the street. Perhaps this picture went wrong in taking segments of a life that wasn't very eventful to begin with and cramming them all into a painfully apathetic drama. By about the sixth time Patsy and her hubby "bumped uglies" I was ready to fall asleep in my popcorn and have a few sweet dreams of my own. The producers dubbed Mrs. Cline's voice(lnto the scenes where Jessica Lange sings)with about the same skill as the producers of the "Mr. Ed" series. The whole movie was like an H.B.O. soap opera intended to get you to watch national television. I'm not saying this movie was awfully bad, but I am advising you to keep your distance from Sweet Dreams. Out of the $4.00 I spent, this movie was worth about $1.25. “So you Thought you Might like to Go to the show To feel the warmth... Of that space cadet glow..." On weekends for the rest of this month the Cinema on the Mall will host two movies at midnight. One theatre will change each week and the other will remain the same for the remainder of this month. That movie Is "Pink Floyd:The Wall." The movie tells the story of Pink Floyd from birth to the present. Including the devastating loss of his father during World War II. The theme of the movie is "The Wall” which is an imaginary object built of painful experiences that create an insurmountable obstacle. This film Is like a nightmare, a little two hour vision from the life of Pink Floyd. Rodger Water's music leads the viewers into Floyd's hellish life via stereo. An integral part of the film Is the animated artwork which Is done with creativity and a lot of emotional disturbances. Although five years old, this movie is a classic and should be seen by all mentally stable audiences. “Good-bye cruel world I'm leavin' you today Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye... "Good-bye all you people There’s nothing you can say To make me change my mind Good-bye.” With Halloween comes Stephen King's newest venture onto the silver screen. Although It is not his best,It is not his worst either. The plot circles around a psychopathic werewolf that terrorizes a quiet rural community. The werewolf has a good time tearing the townsfolk into “kibbles and bits” until a teenage girl and her wheelchair bound brother find out the werewolf's true identity. Then the werewolf wants to make purina out of them. I wont say anything more about this movie except to wam you about the guy In the wheelchair who's always going off somewhere by himself In these movies. Silver Bullet's main box office draw Is in its humor. It was actually funny In a morbid way. Unfortunately, this depends on If the producers intended it to be funny. From their advertising, it would appear that the movie was Intended to be a serious werewolf movie, but some of the scenes are |ust far to silly for anyone to have thought them serious. One of the humorous parts of the movie is In the narration by the sister who sounds like a survivor of a "Lassie come home” movie marathon. Instead of the same girl years later. Another thing Is that the werewolf's Identity can be figured out in the first 10 minutes by any person who's ever gone to a movie. If this movie was meant to be serious, then It's a serious flop at best. This movie was goad however. It had that King sense of "It could happen.” The actual gore content is at a level where you wouldn't mind bringing a date along. The plot is quick and nicely organized. Out of the $4.00 you would spend on this movie It is worth $2.75. Campus Paperback Bestsellers 1. Thinner, by Stephen King, a/k/a Richard Bachman. (NAL/Signet, $4.50.)

BLOOM COUNTY by Berke Breathed BUCKS. NO PROBLEM. the Crier Corning Community College Thursday, November 7, 1985 •Atheletic Profile - John Polo by: Phil Costa Throw the continental United States, Canada, and Europe together, add a diverse education, a military background, athletic endeavors, a family, and a few expeditions not intended for the faint of heart, and you come up with a pretty good view of the life of John Polo, CCC phys. ed. instructor and cross-country coach. John has, to say the least, quite an interesting background. He was bom and raised in Oneonta N.Y., and graduated from Oneonta H.S. in 1953. He spent the next two years at Delhi Tech, where he ma|ored in constructional engineering. He spent the next four years In the U.S. Air Force as a Security Service radio operator. While in the Air Force John played football and was an all-star fullback and defensive end. He also placed fifth in the European Championships, competing In the javelin throw and the hammer throw. The competition involved all Air Force personnel in Europe. His football prowess earned him a scholarship to the University of Oregon. There he took up wrestling to stay In shape for football. He achieved a Bachelors Degree in Phys. Ed- John next attended the University of Montana on a fellowship. While earning his masters he doubled as varsity wrestling coach. Next stop, Ithaca College. There John was a phys. ed. instructor, defensive back field coach and head scout for the football team, and |unior varsity wrestling coach. After five years at I.C. John spent a year with the Southern Tier Heart Association as the physical fitness director for five counties. He taught adult fitness to the tune of 34 classes with 1,100 participants. His love of coaching brought him to CCC in the fall of 1970 as head wrestling coach. In short order John built CCC into a state wrestling power among junior colleges. He coached four All-American grapplers who placed in the top six in J.C. national tournaments. By 1976 John had three sons endeavoring in high school athletics, so he resigned from his coaching position to spend time in their arena. He did continue as a phys. ed. Instructor at CCC. As a phys. ed. instructor John introduced several new courses into the CCC program. Included in them were weight training, jogging, cross-country skiing, canoeing, camping, police training and tactics, backpacking, and self defense. While John has never participated In formal martial arts training, he has attended many self-defense workshops and clinics and has taught in that field for 20 years. In 1979 he was the moving force behind the establishment of a CCC cross-country team. Through the years that team has produced a couple of all-Americans in both cross country and junior college marathon running. In 1980 two of John's runners, Kelly Bowdy and Debbie Savino, finished first and second respectively in the N.Y. woman's cross country championships. His 1981 men's team finished second in the state championships. John feels that a key injury to one of the runners was the only thing that kept them from taking first that year. John has found some interesting things to occupy himself with when he has free time. He has led two back- packing expeditions(one consisting of adults, the other of high school students^ Colorado, where they spent 10 days climbing in the Rockies, living from 9-13 thousand feet above sea level. John was also co-leader of a canoeing adventure into Canada that took a group of people 200 miles north of the Michlgan-Canada border. John's other off-campus athletic pursuits include jogging(two wineglass marathons), bowling(a 187-191 average over fifteen years), and golf. He also used to participate in canoe races. His 1969 victory margin of 56 minutes over the second place finisher still stands. John is married to the former Ginny Lull of Lawrens, N.Y. They have three boys in college and twin girls who are sophomores at Horseheads High School. Whether coaching students in their athletic endeavors, instructing them in Phys. Ed. classes, or counseling them in their career pursuits, spending time with his own athletic endeavors, or spending time with his family, John Polo is living proof that nice guys don't always finish last. Hiedi Number One Phil Costa They were very responsive. That psyched me even more," said Hiedi Goble of the 100 plus bodybuilding fans in attendance who saw Hiedi come out a winner in her first competition October 12 at Elmira Free Academy. Hiedi said nervousness set In about two hours before the competition began. "No one could keep me down,” she said. Once on stage, however, relaxation overcome the remaining butterflies. The women were asked to do four quarter turns just standing to start the competition. That was followed by five compulsory poses. Then each contestant went through an individual routine during which they had to work the five compulsory poses fluidly Into the six or seven poses they felt best highlighted their conditioning. The individual routines had to be completed within ninety seconds. Once the individual routines were completed the contestants returned to the stage for a 30 second “posedown". The posedown, set to music, is the final step in the competition. Each contestant tries to outpose the others in front of the judges. “You want to get close to the other competitors so your body can be better compared to theirs," Hiedi said about the posedown. After the posedown Hiedi waited in the wings for the results to be announced. Her greatest moment of excitement came when the name of the first runner-up was announced. That was when she realized she had won. " I was pretty pleased with myself'' she admitted. * Unless something else crops up Hiedi's next competition event will be next May in Binghamton. Her plans between now and then are school, work, and working out. ★ Editor's Note • Considering the time, energy, and hard work spent in preparing for her first competition, Hiedi Goble has every right in the world to be pleased with herself.
