Students learn Leadership
co-authored by:
Melissa Dewey Michelle Plank
“...I feel I can really be a leader.” “I learned a lot,
and...feel everyone should be able to experience something like this.” These two statements were typical of the reactions to the recent Student Leadership Conference.
The fourth annual CCC Student Leadership Conference was held this summer at Wells College on August 5 and August 6, with forty-eight students, nineteen faculty and staff members, and three guests in attendance. The conference is a summer seminar set up “to give students a basic overview of communication skills and leadership development,” according to Campus Programs Director and Conference Chairperson Nancy Andrews.
The two day seminar consisted of a keynote address, three communica-

 exercises, and several “icebreakers.” The keynote speaker was Thomas E. Blumer, Director of Quality Management for Coming, Incorporated. He spoke on the attributes leaders should possess, including vision, visibility, empathy, courage, and humility. He stressed keeping both a group and a customer focus, using empowerment, and acting as a role-model for others. The keynote address proved interesting, as typical comments about Blumer included “charismatic” and “attention-grabber.” One student declared “[He was] an excellent speaker-not only did he lecture, but he helped us
HANGEN...
to the rescue
The old American habit of crumpling paper into a “basketball” and shooting for the famed “two points” is becoming a thing of the past at CCC where staff and faculty have joined Steuben County in its recycling efforts.
Recycling activities at Corning began in the springtime when CCC President Donald Hangen decided to order a ceramic mug for each employee in lieu of the styrofoam cups stocked in the coffee rooms. Buying the mugs with the $600 usually spent on a year’s supply of foam cups was one of the many activities Dr. Hangen initiated in order to call awareness to the recycling effort. “It’s important as an educational institution that we’re a leader in this and that we set an example for students to follow,” Hangen said. Using ceramic mugs instead of styrofoam cups not only reduces the amount of landfill waste but also will save some money in the long run, Hangen commented.

The exercises were designed by the main facility or of the conference, and Associate Professor in Business Administration, Peter Bacalles.

the new recycling efforts on campus are the containers in most college offices - a waste basket for non-recyclable paper and a cardboard box for papers that are recyclable. The cardboard boxes bear labels listing the seven types of paper eligible for recycling. Each day the Buildings and Grounds staff empties the contents of the boxes into a central receptacle for recycling. Sam Chilson, assistant director of the physical plant and chairman of the college recycling committee, said there has been a very positive response to the program. “People are complying and being very supportive of the project. Our biggest problem is getting them to change their habits - we don’t want them to crumple paper before throwing it in the trash but rather to lay it flat,” he said. Chilson said the college is hoping to sign a contract within the month with a Belmont NY company that buys recyclables.
Recycling became mandatory in Steuben County on September 3. The college faculty, staff, and students have been discussing it for some time. Last April the campus newsletter began to

publish “Earth Notes,” a regular feature written by Bob Demyan, part time lecturer of photography, and communications specialist in the Public Relations Department. Demyan presents various recycling issues. Members of the Biol-ogy/Chemistry Division worked with the student Science Club to develop a campus awareness, and the Office of Student Activities scheduled a variety of forums and talks on the subject.
The college currently is sponsoring a “personalize your mug” contest to continue to raise individual awareness of the issue. Faculty and staff are encouraged to design a personal coffee mug since each one now bears the same Recycle symbol on one side. Deadline for the event is October 2.

consultant and Director of Residential Services for Kinship Family Homes. They were designed to loosen up the group and, as Student Government President Steve Jimerson said, they allowed you “to place trust in one another.”
Another important purpose of the Conference, besides teaching leadership and management skills, is the co-maraderie that develops. “...If you have all the leaders of organizations in one spot-working and playing together-they will cooperate more during the year,” stated Commons Facility and Housing Coordinator Meta Spiegler. Student Sonia Lewis added that “...A chance to get to know counselors and faculty at a personal level...makes attending CCC enjoyable...”
Various types of students were
invited to the Conference, according to Forest “Woody” Knowles, Coordinator of Activities, Intramurals, and Recreation. All of the campus club officers, peer helpers, and Admissions tour guides are invited, as well as area high school honor graduates. The list has also been “expanding...to encompass the math and English tutors...,” along with several older returning students, indicated Knowles.
The Student Leadership Summer Conference is planned by a Conference committee consisting of Chairperson Andrews, Bacalles, Knowles, Spiegler, and Sweet. Make it your goal to get actively involved in one of the campus’ twenty-two clubs, and next year you too could be at the Student Leadership Summer Conference!

by Dave Powell
As we begin another year at Coming Community College, we must look for staff members to fill the positions of leadership in our growing collegiate programs. Whether the position filled is that of counselor, instructor, assistant professor, visiting lecturer, senior program analyst, or assistant director the new people deserve recognition for the positions they are stepping into. It is sometimes difficult to find people willing to take on responsibilty and these people demonstrate this rare quality.

After reviewing the list of the new faculty members on the CCC campus, we can safely say that we have a well qualified staff, from a variety of areas, who will definitely do their best to make our college one of the finest educational institutions in the area. We here at The Crier would like to wish each of these new faculty and staff members the best of luck in their new jobs.

Students will broaden the movement by Forging ties with minority, labor, and social justice groups. In addition, American students will meet with students from Eastern countries to discuss global, evnironmental problems.

TO YOUR HEALTH...
by Madeline Uhl
College life holds the promise of enriching your life while making great demands of you. The expectations, deadlines, assignments, workloads and outside commitments can bring on many stressors. Although they may be considered a normal part of life, these demands can become overwhelming and result in distress.
It is beneficial to know that there are ways to deal with this problem. With the excitement and expectations of college life come the opportunities to accept the stressors and learn life long stress management techniques. These will give you immediate results and culminate with long term benefits. The practice of stress management includes some of the strategies listed below.
You will always have deadlines and assignments but remember, all of life has some unfinished business, and this results in growth and learning. Try not to think of more than one task at a time. Concentrate on the task at hand, and
strive for quality rather than completion. Cluttering your mind with all kinds of commmitments produces unnecessary stress.
Try to acquire a steady pace in your life. Eat more slowly, walk more slowly and drive more slowly. Develop a positive attitude and allow for some playfulness and spontaneity. Smile, it reduces tension.
When things become overwhelming, stop and take three deep breaths and start over again. Deep breathing forces you to relax.
Another beneficial way to handle stress is to exercise, especially when you are feeling tired from both physical and mental fatigue. A brisk walk will energize you naturally so that you won’t need to rely on the chemical stimulants such as sugar, caffeine, chocolate, cigarettes, and alcohol. Exercise will also enable you to sleep better. Our bodies need at least 6-7 hours of sleep a night to re-energize.
Meditation, guided imagery, and biofeedback are excellent stress management techniques. We on campus can help you investigate these practices. Remember you are not alone. Everyone experiences stress.

Dear Steve & Scott,
I’ve been having a problem with my boyfriend since classes began. He’s been observing the chicktitude around the Corning Community College Campus. He claims to have no feelings for these other girls, but, I know as shallow as he is, he does. I have a very insecure feeling about myself and have tried to change to fit his needs to no avail. What can I do?
Signed,
Loveless
Dear Loveless,
If you’ve got to change to fit his needs, then the relationship has deteriorated past the point of no return. Try to discuss the situation rationally with him. If this doesn’t work, you've done all you can do. It’s time to start looking for a new boyfriend. If you’re interested in a tall, nordic - looking blond, or a short, dark, athlete, give us a call at 962 - 9330. We’re here for moral support.
Got a problem? Contact Steve and Scott for advice on ANY problem. Write, Dear Steve & Scott c/o Dawn Frascella, The Crier, Corning Community College.

PROFILE....
Richard Cavall
by Fred Day
Our Social Sciences Department here at CCC is a large department with many excellent instructors and it was rather difficult to narrow our focus to one instructor. Since this is to be a personal profile however, and not a department profile, we decided that Professor Richard Cavall would be our candidate.
Cavall certainly has more than sufficient credentials to be the subject of such a story. He recieved his bachelor’s degree from the University of Rochester and then went on to Canisius, where he earned a master’s degree in history. He also did some graduate work at the University of Buffalo and at Ottawa University in Canada.
In 1955, Cavall started teaching. He chose to begin his career at the high school level and assumed a position at a Buffalo area high school. After he recieved his master’s, however, he decided to pursue a career at the college level and accepted a position at the Niagara Community College.
After Niagara Community College, Cavall accepted a position at Genesee Community College. While at Genesee, he was selected by his fellow instructors to be the chairman of the history division. Recognition by one’s peers is the ultimate success, in many people’s opinion, but Cavall was not about to “rest on his laurels.”
In 1972, during the riots at Attica State Penitentiary, Cavall became interested in inmate education. Along with William Vincent, (another professor here at CCC) he started a program at Attica that would allow an inmate to recieve a two year degree from Genesee Community College. This was the first of this type of program to be fully funded by the state.
Because of his work with prisoners, Professor Cavall decided to broaden his scope of understanding. In 1975, he took a sabbatic leave and went back to school, at Portland State University, and earned another master’s degree in sociology.
Cavall then returned to Genesee
as a “new” sociology instructor. After teaching this for a few years he decided to retire from teaching and pursue another career. In 1979, he purchased a restaurant and went into the food service business.
After only a short time, he tired of this second profession and moved back to Portland, where he had recieved his sociology masters. While in Portland, he decided that he missed teaching and began to teach a class or two at a local community college. Before long, he found himself teaching full time once again.
After a few years of teaching in Portland he recieved a call from an old colleague, William Vincent. Vincent was working here at CCC, and, at the time, was the chairman of the Social Sciences Division. He told Cavall that he had a need for a sociology instructor and asked if he would be interested in returning to the area. Fortunately for the students here at CCC, Cavall accepted.
Professor Cavall is now in his fourth year here at CCC and in the words of the song by Loverboy he is “loving every minute of it.”
Cavall says he loves teaching for a number of reasons. One reason he gives is that he loves being associated with his colleagues. “I find teaching stimulating because of the chance to interact with my colleagues,” he said. Cavall recognizes however, that students, as well as colleagues can be a source of stimulation. He says that he finds his classes interesting because he “learns from his students.” How about that, students? Did you realize that you were also “teachers?”
Professor Cavall’s teaching style is very interesting. He uses an open
discussion style that not only allows but encourages student participation. This style of instruction, from the psychological point of view, is very good. When a student feels actively involved it is much more likely that he or she will enjoy the class and remember the material. Cavall also pointed out that this style keeps the classes from being boring, “at least to me,” he adds, with a little smile. This allows him to look forward to every class with a sense of excitement and anticipation.
Cavall feels that a background in social sciences is important to any candidate for a degree. “Social sciences are not just for human service students,” he says, “they are for everyone.”
It is evident after only a short conversation with Professor Cavall that he has the success of his students in mind at all times. In fact, he says that he recieves a great deal of personal satisfaction from seeing his students succeed in their goals, no matter what they might be.
Cavall does have some distinct ideas on what schools, and students, should concentrate on. He says that “every student needs a strong background in writing. They also need exposure to literature and social sciences.”
All things considered, Professor Cavall is an incredibly interesting individual. From his hobbies, which range from reading classical literature, (he loves Jack London and John Stienbeck) to deep sea kayaking, to his obvious love of academics, he is an extremely intriguing man and a great conversationalist. In this reporter’s opinion, CCC was very lucky to be able to attract an instructor with Professor Cavall’s credentials and love for teaching.

Mediation and
Legal services
by Bill Barnhill
Is someone giving you a hard time? Did your cherry of a car turn out to be a lemon only a week after you bought it? Are you and your girlfriend making a sequel to “War of the Roses”?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then you are in luck. Neighborhood Justice Project, a local Community Dispute Resolution Center, has professional mediators who are certified by the New York State office of Court Administration and they will help for free.
What’s more, they will be coming to campus twice each month. To make an appointment, you can call the Activities office at extension 245 on campus, or 962-9245 if you are calling from off-campus. The mediators will be on campus October 3, 17, 31, and November 14, 28, and December 12. You can make an appointment for 12;30, 12:45, 1:00 and 1:15.
If they can’t help you, and you want to take it to court, then you are still in luck. The local law office of Rosettie and Rosettie will give free advice and answer any legal questions you have, and everything you say will be kept strictly confidential.
An attorney will be here on campus every Wednesday from 1230 to 130 p.m.; to make an appointment, contact the Activities office.
For more information about either of these services, contact the Activities office.

If you can see yourself studying biology and geology on an island in the Bahamas this January, CCC has the course for you. Bahamian Environments, SC 127, is a three credit hour field course offered by Jack Anderson, Professor of Geology and Tom McGrath, Professor of Biology at the Bahamian Field Station on San Salvador Island in the Bahamas from January 3 through 14.
The course explores Bahamian biology and geology through day-long field trips around San Salvador. Snor-keling every day on the island's extensive coral reef system in some of the clearest water that you can imagine will let you see the astonshingly colorful and varied underwater life there.
These islands are limestone factories composed of solidified sand dunes and ancient coral reefs. There are caves to explore and tropical vegetation and fauna to study. The beaches are wide, beautiful and geologically interesting. For those who enjoy astronomy, the star filled Bahamian sky will provide many evenings of excellent star gazing.
The class will assemble early in the morning on January 3, at the Fort
Lauderdale airport for the flight to the island. While on the island, lodging and meals will be provided as well as transportation to the various field sites.

In order to enroll in the course you need to have completed at least one college course in biology of geology by January and be a reasonably adequate swimmer.
The cost of the course will be about $830.00 from Fort Lauderdale which includes tuition for 3 credit hours (instate), fees, round trip air from Fort Lauderdale including airport taxes, island insurance, and room, meals, and transportation on the island. A $200.00 deposit is due no later than Friday, October 19, 1990. The remainder of the cost will be due in December.
Enrollment is limited, so be sure to sign up early. For more information on this exciting opportunity contact Tom McGrath (962-9369) of Jack Anderson (962-9367).

WHY A CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTER?
Many women experience pregnancies at times in their lives when, because of circumstances, a state of crisis is created for them.
The woman with a crisis pregnancy needs a clear point of reference from which to make sensible decisions. An unwanted pregnancy causes such stress that everything else in the woman's life tends to be dwarfed or amplified out of normal proportions. In fear of judgment and rejection, a woman often hesitates to inform those who are closest to her and thereby loses her usual support base.
Often quick and easy solutions to the problem are offered without full consideration of the medical and psychological risk that may be involved. All viable alternatives should be presented and weighed so that the most informed decision can be made, respecting both the needs of the mother and the life of the unborn child. The Crisis Pregnancy Center offers the needed reference point for these decisions and provides the emotional and physical help which are within its capacity to give.
WHO DO WE HELP?
The Center exists to aid any pregnant woman, as well as her family and the father of the child. The center serves the entire community, regardless of race, creed, nationality, age or marital status. All counseling is done in strict confidence. The privacy of every client is maintained at all times.
WHAT SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE?
The Crisis Pregnancy Center is an outreach of Christian ministry. Counselors are trained to express Christ's love and acceptance to their clients, therefore the most important service offered by the C.P.C. is friendship and loving
concern. At the other end of the telephone line, or in the office, is someone with whom to share the stresses of a crisis pregnancy -- someone who cares enough to help with whatever difficulties a woman may have with her crisis pregnancy. The telephone hotline operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week at (607) 732-2111.
