CAMPUS COLLOQUY ON WASTED TIME by James A. Michener Don’t be too calculating. Don’t be too scientific. Don’t let the shrinks terrify you or dictate the movements of your life. There is a divine irrelevance in the universe and many men and women win through to a sense of greatness in their lives by stumbling and fumbling their way into patterns that gratify them and allow them to utilize their endowments to the maximum. If Swarthmore College in 1925 had employed even a half-way decent guidance counselor, I would have spent my life as an assistant professor of education in some midwestern university. Because when I reported to college it must have been apparent to everyone that I was destined for some kind of academic career. Nevertheless, I was allowed to take Spanish, which leads to nothing, instead of French or German, which as everyone knows are important languages studied by serious students who wish to gain a Ph.D. I cannot tell you how often I was penalized for having taken a frivolous language like Spanish instead of a decent, self-respecting tongue like French. In the end, I sacrificed my academic career. Instead, I continued to putter around with Spanish and found a deep affinity for it. In the end, I was able to write a book about Spain which will probably live longer than anything else I’ve done. In other words, I blindly-backed into a minor masterpiece. There are thousands of people competent to write about France, and if I had taken that language in college I would have been prepared to add no new ideas to general knowledge. It was Spanish that opened up for me a whole new universe of concepts and ideas. I wrote nothing until I was forty. This tardy beginning, one might say this delinquency, stemmed from the fact that I had spent a good deal of my early time knocking around this country and Europe, trying to find out what I believed in, what values were large enough to enlist my sympathies during what I sensed would be a long and confused life. Had I committed myself at age eighteen, as I was encouraged to do, I would not even have known the parameters of the problem, and any choice I might have made then would have had to be wrong. It took me forty years to find out the facts. As a consequence, I have never been able to feel anxiety about young people who are fumbling their way toward the enlightenment that will keep them going. I doubt that a young man — unless he wants to be a doctor or a research chemist, where a substantial body of specific knowledge must be mastered within a prescribed time — can waste time, regardless of what he does. I believe you have till age thirty-five to decide finally on what you are going to do, and that any exploration you pursue in the process will in the end turn out to have been creative. Indeed, it may well be the year that observers describe as “wasted” that will prove to have been the most productive of those insights which will keep you going. The trip to Egypt. The two years spent working as a runner for a bank. The spell you spent on the newspaper in Idaho. Your apprenticeship at a trade. These are the ways in which a young man ought to spend his life . . . the ways of waste that lead to true intelligence. Two more comments. Throughout my life I have been something of an idealist-optimist, so it is startling for me to discover that recently I have become a downright Nietzschean! I find that the constructive work of the world is done by an appallingly small percentage of the general population. The rest simply don’t give a damn . . . or they grow tired . . . or they failed to acquire when young the ideas that would vitalize them for the long decades. I am not saying that they don’t matter. They count as among the NEW YORK (LNS) - - “This is the hardest day of our lives,” said William Craig, one of the Harlem 4 who were all freed on April 4 because they agreed to change their pleas from innocent to guilty of manslaughter. “We’ve said all along we are not guilty and what we feel the world should understand now is that we are still not guilty. We hope our friends, our mothers, our fathers, anybody who cares, will understand why we had to do this, why we had to make this decision.” Nine years ago the four black men--Craig, Wa1ter Thomas, Ronald Felder and Wallace Baker (plus two others whose cases were later severed)--were arrested and charged with the murder of a white Harlem shopkeeper. The six had been somewhat active in the black community. Since then Navy - Applications for the NROTC Navy-Marine Scholarship Program are now being accepted. This program offers financial aid for four years in college. The Navy pays tuition and educational fees, books, uniforms and$100.00 per month subsistence allowance. The purpose of the program is to provide civilian-educated career officers to serve the American people in the U. S. Navy and Marine Corps. Upon successfully completing baccalaureate degree requirements and completing summer training periods, students are commissioned officers in the regular Navy or Marine Corps. Applicants for the program will most precious items on earth. But they cannot be depended upon either to generate necessary new ideas or put them into operation if someone else generates them. Therefore those men and women who do have the energy to form new constructs and new ways to implement them must do the work of many. I believe it to be an honorable aspiration to want to be among those creators. Final comment. I was about forty when I retired from the rat race, having satisfied myself that I could handle it if I had to. I saw then a man could count his life a success if he survived — merely survived — to age sixty-five without having ended up in jail (because he couldn’t adjust to the minimum laws that society re- they have been through three trials (the last two of which ended with hung juries). In their teens when they were first arrested, the men spent nearly eight years in jail without bail. Over the years the four have drawn wide public support for their innocence from a wide variety of community organizations. Manhattan D. A. Frank Hogan opposed every application for bail for the four but finally the judge granted bail and released them last summer, pending a fourth trial. Also last summer, the key prosecution witness - - Robert Barnes--recanted his original testimony against the Harlem 4. In a 30 page affidavit, he swore that his original testimony had been extorted from him by the police with threats of punishment if he refused and bribes of freedom if he consented. Barnes had be considered based on scores obtained on either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB), Princeton, New Jersey, or the American College Test (ACT) of the American College Testing Program, Iowa City, Iowa. Applicants for the 1974 NROTC Navy-Marine Scholarship Program must: * Apply for and take either test specified above at their own expense by November 1973. * Arrange with the appropriate testing agency for the submission of their scores to the NROTC Navy-Marine Scholarship Program, Iowa City, Iowa. Scores quires) or having landed in the booby hatch (because he could not bring his personality into harmony with the personalities of others). I believe this now without question. Income, position, the opinion of one’s friends, the judgment of one’s peers and all the other traditional criteria by which human beings are generally judged are for the birds. The only question is, “Can you hang on through the crap they throw at you and not lose your freedom or your good sense?” I am now sixty-four and three-quarters, and it’s beginning to look as if I may make it. If I do, whatever happens beyond that is on the house . .. and of no concern to me. been serving several concurrent sentences in Clinton Prison for various crimes committed since 1965. Shortly after his recantation, Barnes was mysteriously removed from Clinton and remained inaccessible to defense lawyers and reporters for some time. Later, he withdrew his recantation, saying that he had been “afraid” when he made it. DA Hogan has been frequently criticized for his fanatical persistence in prosecuting the Harlem 4. It is felt that political motives prompted him to offer the four men freedom if they would change their pleas from innocent to guilty of manslaughter. Hogan is up for reelection this year, and an unprecedented fourth trial for the Harlem 4 would leave him wide open for the criticism of persecution rather than prosecution. must be released by 3 November in order to insure receipt by the score receipt deadline date of 15 December. * Apply for the NROTC Navy-Marine Scholarship Program between 1 March 1973 and 1 November 1973 in accordance with the 1974 NROTC bulletin.

ALUMNI ARTS AND CRAFT SHOW This is the hardest day of our lives . . . Harlem 4 Freed in Return For Manslaughter Pleas Marine Scholarship THE CRIER—May 3, 1973—2 Getting it together Drug Info by Steve Avery Managing Editor If anyone is interested, doubts are rising about the usefulness of “rap" centers to cure the drug problem. Some feeling has developed that such centers are eventually taken over by insiders who try to keep others out. It is reported that usually the hard core users take over and keep square and semi-square kids away. One successful Minnesota drug worker says, “I operate without a rap center because I prefer outreach work ... to go where the young are.” He often finds himself counseling kids in nearby churches or other local institutions, “Shock Tactics" are starting to be used more frequently in the treatment of drug abuse. The British have a new color film, “Better Dead?” that features a hospital autopsy on the body of a 23-year-old girl addict. Even though some viewers find they cannot sit through the showing, the film has been accepted favorably for the prevention of youngsters getting involved with drugs. Shock tactics used to have a bad name because of misinformation but potential abusers now find true stories are quite different. Methadone programs do not wipe out the need for police antidrug activity because they often indirectly increase it. Pushers tend to strengthen their heroin doses to compete with methadone which usually results in a local heroin vs methadone war. For those who feel a drug is “safe" so long as it is non-addictive are in for a rude awakening. You see addiction is not the only danger. Although it is not addictive, cocaine can kill. The result of an overdose of coke is that the brains run out through the nose, BUMMER! Nirvana: It’s Needed As you all know the CCC Spring Concert was at the Elmira Domes. The show consisted of “The Full Tilt Boogie Band” and “The Buddy Miles Band.” Unfortunately, the attendance was below satisfactory. 750 people paid to be exact. Was this due to publicity? Location? And/or selection of the groups? It is an interest to me because Of the 750, only 100 of the people were CCC students. Is this another implication of student apathy? Just the same, Nirvana Productions would like to thank the people who did support the concert with their presence. We especially congratulate all the personnel who contributed their time and effort to make the show an entertaining success. Special thanks should go to the following people who remained after the show for tear-down. They are: Jerry Burkhart, Mike Saudi, Dave Knapp, Bill Drohan, Don Turley, Kenny Byrnes, Chris Morton, Ratsy, Jenny, Mr. and Mrs. Al Paparelli. Without these individuals, the task of tear-down would never have happened. Nirvana Productions would also like to hold an open forum, at a later date, to discuss the feelings of students towards the leadership of Nirvana. This forum would also include future plans, engagements and new personnel for the following year. As of now, Nirvana Productions is being dissolved as a member of ICC. If anyone is still interested in fine entertainment and wants to do something about continuing Nirvana or something similar, please attend this forum. It will be announced at a later date. I feel Nirvana is worthwhile and needed if the Southern Tier wants to see big name bands here, instead of traveling as far as Rochester or Syracuse. It is your chance to become involved and get it together. Let’s make it happen.

Javits (R.-N.Y.) today introduced three legislative proposals designed to strengthen the nation’s criminal justice system. The first bill, “The National Correction Standards Act,” would set national minimum standards for the treatment of inmates and improved institution-inmate relationships. Javits said: “We must alter the structure of the prison system itself. The overall philosophy and policy that governs that system and the attitudes of the public, of corrections administrators and custodial personnel, and of inmates themselves are central to this issue. “Examples of such standards are: minimum standards to promote respect for the human rights of inmates. Here we are dealing with the basic needs of the prisoner for adequate food and medical care, sanitary living conditions, recreation facilities, hygienic needs and freedom from sexual attacks and abuse. Standards will apply to the establishment of mechanisms to raise issues relating to the basic conditions under which inmates live, the improvement of such conditions and the resolution of grievances of all kinds. Also, standards will relate to the utilization and employment of professional and paraprofessional minority group personnel and to the provision of bilingual mini- mum education services. In addition, they will relate to special rules applicable to the incarceration or detention of those who have been charged with, but not convicted of any crime, those who are juvenile delinquents and youth offenders, those who are felons and misdemeanants, and persons of different sex.” The second bill, “The Criminal Justice Professions Development Act of 1973,” would establish a nation-wide network of regional crime and delinquency centers to train students and practitioners of criminal justice. Under Javits’ proposal, a three year $35,000,000 authorization is recommended to provide assistance for study and training in academic subjects related to correctional administration and rehabilitative services. The bill would also provide for the establishment of a Presidential Advisory Council on Criminal Justice Professions Development, an annual assessment of criminal justice manpower needs by the Attorney General, and authorize a national criminal justice professions recruitment program. Javits noted that, “In 1972 the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration expended in bloc grants and discretionary funding over $18 million for personnel, recruitment, and training throughout the national criminal justice system. Under part E, providing exclusively for corrections improvements, the total expenditure was only $3,350,000. While there is some additional spending for corrections under part C of the act, the largest share of funds in this area has gone to the law enforcement component of criminal justice. “My bill would authorize an additional $40,000,000 for corrections during the next three years.” Javits said of this measure and its aims: “We cannot continue to ask our correctional departments and agencies at the State and local level to accept the kinds of responsibility we have long given to them without providing adequate resources for recruitment, training, and employment of their professional personnel.” Javits’ third proposal, “The Emergency Urban Crime Reduction Act of 1973” has two major aims. First, specific priority uses to which federal funds must, in part, be put to produce short-term results in reducing urban crime rates. Second, the initiation of genuine, long-term reform in each of the three component parts of the local criminal justice system -- police, courts, and corrections. Under that proposal, said Javits: “The measure would concentrate a proposed authorization of $300 million for each of the next three years in the central cities having the highest crime rates in the TIPS FOR HEADS "TWO’S COMPANY, THREE’S A CROWD.” Signed THE "PHONE" at wet goods Dear Nurses If there’s any one thing that really upsets me it is a hypocrite.

The President would designate as many as 25 cities as ‘emergency crime rate areas.’ This designation would be based on the number of crimes per thousand inhabitants committed in each city. The figures used would be taken from the uniform crime reports published each year by the F.B.I. During each year, the selected cities would receive a direct grant based upon two factors: first, population; and second, rank in the crime index.” Javits said: “These three bills, or any other legislation, are not the whole answer. The issue of crime in our society is the outgrowth of dramatic change in our society which must be confronted, in a larger sense, by the Congress, the States, our local communities, and the people themselves.” Innertube Rigatta 10th Annual Held MAY 12, 1973 Sponsored by: WELLSVILLE LIONS CLUB OFFICIAL RULES: (1) Two man teams only.

What’s different with this system is that the new books aren’t going to be kept in a back office waiting for completed technical processing - from now on, everything we receive will be put out in front and made available for circulation within a few days of its arrival if it can’t go right on our regular shelves.

SAFE, LOW-COST CONFIDENTIAL Testing, I’ve been asked by 3,407 students in the last three weeks (which means every person on campus, including dogs, has asked me twice) when our illustrious radio station (hiding behind the call letters WCPB-FM) will be on the air. Now, for the 3,408th time (and hopefully, the last) I would like to explain why we are not on the air. First things first, the government plays the biggest factor. Broadcasting has applied to the F.C.C. for a “construction permit,” enabling us to erect a tower. We have no word as to the status of our application as of yet. The application itself was 21 pages long. Second, equipment delays have held us up considerably. We ordered our equipment in February - and it’s still dribbling in. Thirdly, as president of Broadcasting, I’m expected to put the station together myself. Well and Testing good, but it must be remembered that I’m a student at Corning-and that takes up some time. Finally, I doubt that most people on campus recognize the sheer technical problems presented in assembling all of our equipment. In a student government budget meeting, someone remarked that we were satisfied only with the best. This is because we want to give the best to Corning students. I have to take some credit because I have yet to see an FM station assembled for around $5,000. We’re doing it through sacrifice of time and lots of hard, complicated work. We will be on the air- but just as soon as possible- and we believe the end product will be worth it. Pax, Dave W. Game President, Broadcasting (WCPB - FM) Don't let the price of a college education stop you. The price of a college education is skyrocketing. Fortunately the Air Force had done something to catch up with it. For the first time, the 6500 Air Force ROTC Scholarships include the 2-year program, for both men and women.

GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH AT YOUR LOCAL MEN’S STORE -May 3, 1973—THE CRIER THE CRIER—May 3, 1973-6 DEAR EDITOR To the paper: Dear Editor: I am writing in response to the person who had the gall to write a letter for The Sophomore Nursing Class when she did not have the right to do so. All I want to say is that I wish that person along with about two hundred others in the Nursing Program would just open up their eyes. In regards to the poll of one fourth of the graduating class I wish to say it was a very good cross section considering the size of the class. Also this poll was conducted by student government so where did the nurse(s) get their figures? The results of the poll are as follows: seventy-seven percent of the students polled were in favor of semi-formal graduation. Not fifty-two percent of the students polled were in favor of informal graduation. There is a big difference between informal and semiformal. Informal was what the nurse(s) said. It is printed in plain black and white in the Crier. Another fact is that Al Paparelli has the results of the poll so he Nurses — can back me up on this issue. As far as the exemptions for Chemistry, English and H.E. 101 go I have no objections to the nurses exemption from H.E. 101. On the other hand though, the proposed exemptions of Chemistry and English in my opinion are unreasonable. Why in God’s name should nurses be exempt from taking English? Everyone else has to. If I’m taking English only because it’s required, why should a nurse get off without taking it. As far as Chemistry goes, other schools with other nursing programs have a requirement for Chemistry. For example, SUC at Plattsburgh and University of Rochester require Chemistry. I know these to be true because I know people who are enrolled in the nursing programs at those two schools. Could it be that why the nurses want the Chemistry requirement dropped is that it is a tough course and a lot of nurses fail it? Come on, nurses, come out of your “castle” and open up your eyes. Sincerely yours, William Burke TO THE PAPER: What can you say about a paper that died? That it came out about every three weeks? That it contained meaningless, irrelevant articles that most students couldn’t stand? That numerous times students wrote the editor and complained about this written trash to no avail? That the Editor literally quit? I remember them well - The Editors, Tom Martin and Jim Willis, admired for their integrity, men of strong intellect, men who had something to offer. Tom and Jim are gone now- but their memory still lingers on- I have seen the end of a golden era. What can I say about a paper that died? Ralph Palmer Pre-Entry Advisement Aids Entering Students Power to the People To The Editor: Today I went to the gym to see what was supposed to be an intramural basketball game between two very good teams, “The Horny Norneys” and “The Liberators.” Instead, I, a member both of the college community and of an intramural team, saw an exhibition of baiting, bullying, threatening, and gloating at what was supposed to be a sporting event. I, for one, am fed up with the righteous posturing that pretends to be idealism for some individuals on this campus. To turn a basketball game into a crusade, or worse, a social vendetta is a clown’s gesture. A referee’s missed call is not by definition “racist,” nor is it cause for punches to be thrown in the name of some ideal or other. Is the “revolution” served or mocked by bottles smashed in the shower room? Power To (All) The People Michael Gilmartin Assistant Professor of English As a result of an experimental special orientation program last year initiated at Corning Community College by Ronald Hofsess and Robert Finlay, counselors, many high school students in the service area of the College will begin their studies more realistically and with less anxiety this fall. Dr. Gunars Reimanis, director of educational research at the College, reports that last year an experimental group of entering students was selected on the basis of their indecision concerning a program of study. Some of the selected students participated in the early orientation (in spring before the fall of their enrollment) and some did not. After a few weeks of classes, 78 percent of the students who participated in the early orientation were still in college as opposed to only 30 percent of the selected students who did not take part. The difference, according to Dr. Reimanis, was “highly significant.” Presently every prospective fall entering student is going through this orientation program which has its purposes: to create a more effective advisee-advisor relationship and to assist the new student in assimilating more successfully into his new environment at CCC. Clark Maloney, assistant dean of college services, administers the program, with Robert Finlay, coordinator of pre-college advising, and Mr. Hofsess developing and carrying out the enlarged program. There are 45 faculty members participating as advisors on a volunteer basis. Prospective college students come to the first of three orientation sessions with concerns such as: “Whom do I see about picking courses that are necessary for my career plans?” “How do I find out what I want to do in and after college?” “Where will I get the money for my education?” “What kind of job can you get with a two-year education?” “If you change your mind about what you want to do, do the credits earned here count at the next college or in another program?” “How can I learn to know my profs personally and not just be ‘another student’?” “Where can I get hold of a teacher or other person when I need help?” “What courses do I have to take and what ones may I take because I might like them?” In the three sessions of about three hours each, the students have activities that promote self-assessment, relationship-build- ing, and team cooperation. In addition, information about academic advisement, financial aid, counseling services, campus facilities, and other concerns is given by appropriate college staff members from these areas. After the sessions the students evaluated their experience: “It helped to learn how it is going to be.” “Answered a lot of questions and got me acquainted with other students I'll see in the fall.” “Thought it helped a lot for me to find out where I can get help and learn what to expect.” “Felt it comfortable to come in contact with my advisor; now I won’t be afraid to see him.” “These people really tried to do something for me. I feel I will have a head start in making college a success for me and me a success for college.” The pre-entry advisement program begins in the students’ high schools. A representative of the College visits each high school in the service area and talks with the applicants there. Then the prospective student is assigned to a faculty advisor and is invited to the campus at a specific time. When the student enrolls in the fall, he has the same advisor with whom he has become acquainted. Double Summer Session Offered at Brooklyn Clear Your Table TO THE EDITOR: I’m sure there are more pressing matters on campus to attend to than this but I feel something must be said. As an impulsive sign obeyer I find it increasingly difficult to obey the signs in the Commons stating “Please clear your table.” The reason being that there are no waste barrels to “clear into” to coin a phrase. Though I’m sure that not all people would use waste barrels if they were around, 39.72 percent would use them if they were present, (survey available on request). Noting that a number of high school students were touring campus today I think it unbearable that these young innocents be subjected to our college filth and uncleared tables besides. I hope that this situation will be remedied with due haste. Thank You. Sincerely yours, Laurence Johnson Brooklyn College’s extremely popular double summer session for undergraduates, first begun two years ago, will get underway June 14 and allow students the opportunity of earning up to 16 academic credits. Last summer, over 15,000 students enrolled for the extended session, one of the largest summer enrollments in the college’s history. This year the double session will comprise two sessions of six weeks each. Students may take a maximum of eight credits for each United Action for Animals Searching for New Leaders Eleanor Seiling, President of United Action for Animals, Inc., announced today that UAA is turning to the universities in an intensive search for young executive talent. “A new breed of humane leaders is needed,” she said, "and they should come from the reservoir of well-educated young people now in our universities and about to embark upon their careers.” She noted that historically almost all of the people in animal welfare work in general and laboratory animal work in particular are there because of a keen sense of injustice to animals and a high degree of motivation, but she observed, “they lack both the ability to inform themselves adequately and the professionalism needed to solve complex problems.” Miss Seiling is definite about the qualifications needed by candidates. “A broadly-based education is essential,” she stated, “because anyone who is going to be effective in helping animals must develop a composite of many skills, including biology, law, advertising, public relations, and corporate administration. They must be diligent readers and able to write well. They must be adept at library research, competent analysts of what they read, and possess the ability to communicate articulately without being abrasively vocal.” She said that a highly motivated person with a broad basic education can develop these skills but that it would take time. Miss seiling estimates that it would , require four years of intensive on-the-job training with UAA to prepare a candidate for the "kind of executive leadership we envisage.” The President of UAA pointed out that there exists a vital need for leaders of executive calibre in the field of animal welfare in general and laboratory animals in particular and that the rewards are great, personally and professionally. “But,” she added, “candidates for this work must show a very high degree of motivation.” Interested persons should write to United Action for Animals, Inc., 509 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10017, giving full details, keeping in mind the qualifications outlined. session if they register in the day, or seven credits in each session if they register in the evening. The college’s Graduate Division will continue on its single session schedule, with five weeks for day students and six weeks for evening students. Registration for both undergraduate sessions will take place June 8, 11, 12, and 13, with classes for day and evening schedules beginning June 14. Graduate registration is June 25, with evening classes starting June 27 and day classes July 2. Graduate courses will end by August 2. Both undergraduate day and evening session classes will end by July 25. All classes for the second summer session will begin July 26 and end by August 31. Students from other colleges within The City University of New York must fill out a special application to Brooklyn College available in the registrar’s office of their home college and file that application, signed by their registrar, in the Brooklyn College registrar’s office by late spring. Permission to register will also be granted to students from other colleges and universities. It was pointed out by college registrar Charles Wantman that acceptance to attend the double summer session does not guarantee admittance to students’ course choices. Alternate courses should be approved as a means of guaranteeing that no loss in transfer of credit will occur. Direction by: Joe Ross Forward is a direction that we associate with progress. The betterment of the old is why we are spending time, effort, and money at Coming Community College. This semester has been one of loss of direction. Loss of direction by the clubs on campus. Clubs that are paid for by each full time student. Clubs composed of students. The reasons for this loss of direction are not clear to me. Only the loss of direction is clear. The vote to stop the yearbook, the silence of the radio station, fewer college newspapers, the early retirements of the presidents of I.C.C., and editor Of the newspaper, are a few clear examples of loss of direction at Corning Community College. The importance of this loss of direction is of deep concern to me. The loss of direction has not only upset the clubs but the number of students going to CCC. Enrollment at school is way down and the number of dropouts has increased in most academic departments. The loss of direction is apparent. But the answer why or how to correct this loss is not. Before the answer can come the problem must be realized. What direction is forward at Coming Community College? La Gran Pelicula by: C.F. Ryan “Never in the field of human endeavor at CCC, have we owed so much to so many by so few,” Mike Gilmartin on the help in “Blood wedding,” “Blood Wedding” looks good in rehearsal. The kissing is soulful enough and the acting presents a good historical view of Spain in the 1930’s The cultural view of menal. His directing and handling of the play makes one feel the powerful emotions of the Spanish people. The viewer of the play will suffer and feel along with the actions. He will pulsate with the vibration and will be mesmerized by the charisma of, the “gente” -Spanish people. This play is unique. It is the last play of the year and the kids If you think Kodak is just pretty pictures, you ought to have your chest examined. When a chest x-ray shows that you have a potential killer like TB or cancer, it’s not a pretty picture. But it’s an important picture because it can help the doctor detect and catch the killer in time. When doctors are out to catch these potential killers, they want the sharpest, clearest x-ray films they can get. And that’s why people at Kodak spend so many hours creating new and better x-ray film equipment. Already, the results in- clude convenience for the patient, economy for the hospital, an even more useful tool for the radiologist — and, most important, reduced radiation exposure. Researching and creating better x-ray films is good for our business, which is why we went into them in the first place. But it does our society good, too — which isn’t a bad feeling. After all, our business depends on our society — so we care what happens to it. Kodak More than a business. -May 3, 1973-THE CRIER The Crier Sports Page 8 Corning Community College May 3, 1973 Want to Live Full Life? Try a Risk Sport By Bob Oates The Los Angeles Times To live a full life you must participate regularly in a sport that pro- vides an element of danger - skiing, perhaps, or horseback riding. Golf doesn’t do it. Nor does tennis, calisthenics or jogging. Gillespie, Faddoul Honored Two Corning Community College wrestlers will appear in the 1973 edition of “Outstanding Colleges Athletes of America,” Neil Bulkley, chairman of the Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Division learned today. Marc Gillespie of Bath and Emad Faddoul of Elmira were selected on the basis of their ability, not only in athletics but in community service and campus activities. Both Marc and Emad distinguished themselves as members of Wrestling team. “Both boys are deserving of this honor which not only reflects on their accomplishments as individuals but on their contribution to the College,” Coach Polo said. Marc’s college record in dual meets and tournaments is 55-4. Two years running he was Region 3 champion and was second place in National Junior College Athletic Association tournaments in 1972 and 1973. Emad holds a 48-8-2 college record and was a two-time runner-up in Region 3 tourney meets.

His MD is from that university. His Ph.D. is from Germany’s University of Freiburg. Rosenthal, who divides the world into RE (risk exercises) sports and non-RE sports, makes these points. - - The same amount of energy invested in different sports affects the same individual in different ways. For instance, tennis (non-RE) tends to be exhausting whereas skiing (RE) exhilarates. -- Risk sports are essential as well as exhilarating because man has evolved through acts of risk. Men and women are more efficient, more creative and more productive after RE. It even “appreciably improves” their sex life. Attitudes toward winning and losing generally are healthier in RE than non-RE sports. Enjoyment of golf, volleyball and other non-RE activities often is related to winning. But in RE sports, fulfillment does not depend on winning. -- RE is so vital to man’s well-being that risk sports should be subsidized by the city or county, state or nation. “Somehow we must find the time and money,” says Rosenthal, who earlier in his career in preventive medicine helped prove the link between cholesterol and hardening of the arteries. He is on sabbatical this year working on a book and seeking a producer for an RE documentary. “To do it right, risk exercise takes time,” he says. “Once a week isn’t enough. You should ski or play polo several times a week. And it needs public financing for two reasons. It’s expensive and there aren’t that many places to go.” Are you putting down tennis and golf completely? “No, no, not by any means. They’re commendable exercises. So are hiking, gardening, carpentry and the like. These things complement RE. All forms of exercise are excellent - but RE is essential.” Are you saying human beings crave dangers? “Yes, they were carefully calculated long ago. Risk became sport as well as necessity. Natural risks evolved into challenges and physical feats. They helped mold man’s codes of honor, pride and loyalty. They also prolonged his youth and prowess. In time the old stimuli - the old dangers - were forgotten. But not the effects. Not the way man felt. He is still hap- Volleyball Region III Volleyball Championship Corning took third place trophy. 1st -- Herkimer CC 2nd -- Genesee CC 3rd -- Corning CC 4th -- Vermont Institute In the finals Genesee won the first two games in the best of five games against Herkimer with scores of 15-11 and 15-13. Then Herkimer roared back with three wins of 15-5, 15-10, and 15-2 to win the crown. Corning hit Vermont with games of 15-9, 16-14, 11-14, and 15-7. Members of Coach John Polo’s Coming Team are: Jim Longwell, Kevin Kelley, Ken Klane, Joe Ruff, Barney Broz, Tom Blanchard, Rich Micky Petoski, John Bing, Doug Hoover, and Dave Edwards. I have a film of all teams, but it isn’t developed yet. John Polo Note: There has never been a Regional Volleyball Tournament or National anywhere in the U.S. piest when physically threatened.” In today’s world, that’s not hard to arrange. “Let’s be sure we understand each other. I’m not advocating recklessness. There was nothing foolhardy about the risks your ancestors took. They were calculated risks, well calculated. Early man developed great skills in procuring food under dangerous circumstances. By the same token, skiing is a calculated risk requiring considerable skill. The thing I advocate is attaining skills in RE sports. Do you group risk-exercise sports on some kind of sliding scale? “They can be placed in categories, depending on difficulty and challenge to the individual. I think of them in three categories. At the top are skiing, surfing, mountain climbing and so on. Perhaps flying and auto racing. In the second category are things like horseback riding, outdoor living, water skiing. Third are swimming, fencing, hunting and sports of thatkind.” In swimming, for example, the challenge is different to expert and novice? “It is very different. The feeling of elation you get in RE sports depends on proficiency. A non-swimmer isn’t exhilarated by Jogging Club Jogging Club - If anyone is interested meet at 12:30 Tuesdays and Thursdays in the gym. jumping in a pool. Novices in horseback riding, swimming and other RE sports are often petrified with fear. This leads to exhaustion, not elation. The risk must be based on the confidence of calculation. Degree of RE effect is related to two things: the sport’s difficulty and your proficiency.” What about people who can’t develop much proficiency in any sport? “If they have their health they can do something-sail or fly airplanes, perhaps.” Those are expensive. “The alternatives are not attractive: sunken chest, flabby muscles, dull eyes, frustration, quiet desperation, depression. Risk exercise is not only a basic evolutionary need but it gives exquisite joy and vigor. It also helps us maintain our sense of humor and perspective, and on the evidence I have from fox hunters to football coaches, RE appreciably improves the participants’ sex life.” Games Scheduled The CCC women’s softball team has a game today at 3:00 on home territory. They play Keuka College. On May 10, Ms. Beebe’s team will travel to Keuka College for a second game. I suggest anyone interested in seeing Corning’s girls in action to be there. I’m sure it will be worth it. Muscleman or Freak? BY RON HAVENS Jack Walsh doesn’t look that powerful, but I wouldn’t mess with him. He advertises himself as “the strongest Man in the World”. When asked, “What about Vassili Alexsev, the Russian who lifted 520 pounds of iron over his head?”, he replies, “I have lifted 700 pounds with one finger!” “I’ve seen the Russian in action and I admire what he does, but I’d like to challenge him in a real test of strength.” Walsh doesn’t monkey around with iron bars. He has lifted a 4,000-pound elephant, carried a grown horse up a ladder, on his back, and carried with his back and arms a platform of twenty Hollywood beauties totaling 5,013 pounds. By the time this paper is out Walsh will have demonstrated, (for April 29), his feats of strength at Madison Square Garden’s Felt Forum as the featured performer in the “Oriental World of SelfDefense Exhibition.” He will have tried to break his own record by lifting a 700 pound motorcycle with one finger. The 5’ 10”, 200 pound Walsh claims his reputation is that of a modern day Samson. He goes on to say that the Russian weight-lifter depends on triceps and biceps. “He has the body of an army tank,” says Walsh, “but my strength lies in my ligaments and tendons and the employment of proper leverage.” Now 43 years old, he was a skinny kid growing up in Trenton, N.J. and decided to grow some muscles and get even with all the bullies who tormented him. He took up weightlifting and Karate. “It all started from there,” says Walsh. He is now a second degree Black Belt in Karate, Back in 1950 he won the title of “The Strongest Man in the World” and repeated in 1960 lifting 5,103 pounds total weight. To summarize, Walsh has in the past shown such feats of strength as allowing the late Sonny Liston to hammer as hard as he could on Walsh’s gut and having a 320-pound man jump on his stomach from six feet in the air. He once kept a Dc3 airliner from taking off by holding it by a cable and now and then holds back two cars, both under full acceleration, in both arms. “The car stunt,” says Walsh, “is the most dangerous. Every time I do it I end up in a hospital with my arms wrenched out of the sockets.” To top it all off he has been driven over by a ten ton truck. Compared to Jack Walsh, Charles Atlas would seem to be a panty waist. Basketball Intramurals (as of April 12, Thursday) *Champions TEAM W L PCT.
