CORNING COMMUNITY COLLEGE
May 5, 1965
Spring Weekend May 7, 8, 9,10
Pre-Frosh Day Scheduled for May 5; Incoming Freshmen to Invade C.C.C.
May fifth has been designated as the day when future Freshmen will see the bright side of college life as they come from miles around to take part in Pre-Frosh Day.
“The annual event,’’ said chairman Donna Gray, is sponsored by the Admissions and Student Association Board of Directors and is designed for entering Freshmen to get acquainted with the campus, faculty, students, and student life.” (This is something many Sophomores have yet to do. Ed.)
Nick Dugo, co-chairman for the event, stated that many events are scheduled for the day including registration at 3:00 p.m. in the gymnasium and convocation at 3:30 p.m., also in the gym. “Future Freshmen will meet with program advisors at 4:35,” said Dugo. Following these official functions will be a tour of campus to acquaint the Freshmen with organizations at the school.
Guided tours will be offered at this time to show the pre-frosh the campus and explain the function of each building. There will be some trouble explaining the function of the architecture. The Student government members and other “volunteers” will act as guides.
The purpose of Pre-Frosh Day is to get the future Freshmen off on the right, or left, foot. They will become aware of what is expected of them in college and how to prepare to meet the challenge. They will also realize that there is ample opportunity to fulfill themselves by joining activities and participating in college life. The primary goal of the student is education but to become truly educated a person must be made aware and participation in life around him is one way of doing this. Pre-Frosh Day will, it is hoped, kindle the first of a long series of sparks of school spirit and scholastic dedication.
‘Oops, It’s That Time Of Year Again’
Spring Weekend will get off to a rousing start on May 7, 1965, with the traditional “Bermuda Short and Anything Can Happen Day.” This is the only social activity of the year in which everyone is required to attend, as the scheduled time is both in and around the regular Friday classes.
Bermuda shorts, one of the more recent topics of discussion on campus, will be the “dress of the day.” Even the faculty are requested. to join in the fun, and many of their outfits in the past have been everything but normal. Can you imagine attending class with the professor in white shirt and tie, and bright red plaid shorts complete with hairy, knobby knees, or perhaps one of the female members of the faculty in a pink blouse, orange Bermudas, red knee socks, . and green sneakers? Well, if you can’t, prepare yourself for the shock, for if this year’s “Bermuda Short and Anything Can Happen Day” is anything like the
Student Recognition Day
Student Recognition Day will be held May 12. At this time, sophomore students who have maintained an excellent academic standing as Well as serving their school well will be recognized. Our own Dr. Gross will be speaking to the sophomores at a convocation from 1 to 2 in the Gymnasium. Everyone is urged to attend this very worthwhile convocation.
Dean Perry will conduct the convocation and The Chorus directed by Mr. Kretch will sing several numbers. After this, Ken Bruyere, next year's Student Association President, will give the awards to those two sophomores with an average of 2.7 or better that you nominated a few weeks ago. The eight chosen with an average of 2.6 or better will also be given awards for their contributions to life at C.C.C.
past, anything and everything happens. And don’t be worried that a few of the older and more sophisticated members of the faculty will chicken out, for time has proven that these cats out-do them all!
All morning long, the students are allowed to let loose every bit of energy that they can muster, against the conventional, stuffy ideas of long pants, neat and tidy clothes, and propriety in general.
The afternoon is reserved for a Carnival of games and tricks. Starting at the 1:00 lunch hour, the side lawn of the Commons, just outside the Spencer Pub will turn into a gala of colors and amusements. There will be booths consisting of some type of game or contest. Over a hundred dollars in carnival prizes will be given to the lucky winners. Music in the juke box will be supplied FREE for dancing until the end at 5:00. The expenses will be paid for by the Spring Weekend Committee and all profits from the concession will be given to the John F. Kennedy memorial fund, here at the college.
Donna Gray, Gary Pease, and the four new board officers invite everyone to attend the functions, between classes of course. And don’t get caught without your shorts, for anything, anything can happen!
Rules for the day will be posted on all bulletin boards. It would be advisable to check these.

Deadline: June 6
If you wish to apply for a COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP, an NDEA LOAN, a NURSING STUDENT LOAN, or CAMPUS WORK, you must make your application between now and June 6, 1965. The application forms may be obtained in the Student Personnel Office. In the event the requests exceed supply, the date the application was received will be of consideration.
Gale Garnett Featured Friday
A striking, brown-eyed brunette, Gale Garnett’s rich voice and highly individual, stylized sound have gained her the reputation as one of folk music’s most exciting personalities. Ranging the full scope of folk blue's and standards, Gale has appeared in concerts throughout California, currently her “home,” to the folk music citadel of New York City. A most recent New York engagement was, fittingly, at the Blue Angel, famed proving ground for new, fast rising young talent. Other night club credits include the Duplex and RSVP in New York, the Garret in Los Angeles, Gibby’s in Chicago, and many other clubs in major cities throughout the country.
Gale, whose every musical inflection is matched with sensitive projection and compelling showmanship, | finds that her extensive Thespian training has helped her create a stage “presence” rarely equalled in the folk vain. From the High School of Performing Arts in New York, Gale continued with tutoring from such noted coaches as Michael Howard and Paul E. Richards in New York, and Ed Moor in Los Angeles.
So it will come as no surprise that Gale is one of the most promising young actresses, too. On the legitimate stage, Gale has appeared in such outstanding musical comedies as Three Penny Opera, Guys & Dolls, Showboat. In The World of Suzie Wong, she appeared both in the Broadway production and on tour. Other stage credits include Jack and the Bald Soprano, Billy Liar, Springs Awakening, Second City, and about twenty others in stock.
Gale has appeared extensively on television with acting LEADS in such top network offerings as Hawaiian Eye, 77 Sunset Strip, Adventures in Paradise, Dick Powell Show, The Real McCoys, Stage Coach West, G.E. Theatre, General Hospital, Bonanza, Day in Court, and many others.
Gale has been featured in such films as the Norman Vincent Peale Story, The Pink Panther, and to prove her obvious versatility, the French film, La Fille Liza. Although she tends to regard her

is an extreme of the folk performer who refuses to sing any lyric which is not meaningful to her, or which does not express her philosophy (which she defines as Idealistic Realism') But Gale can be highly selective in her material—she writes much of it herself! All told, she has written about 35 songs, many of which are not only deeply personal, but are also highly successful — “We’ll Sing in the Sunshine”, “Lovin’ Place”, and Sleep You Now”, are good examples. They are also the backbone of her act. Another, “Red and Yellow”, (The Prism Song), is perhaps a Gale Garnett musical innovation. She calls it a “child’s blues”.
Other name performers have seen merit in Gale’s music. Miriam Ma-keba, for one, uses four of Gale’s compositions in her act, and, in turn, has taught Gale several African songs.
Gale’s folk singing career is rocketing ahead—she has appeared on ABC-TV's “Hootenanny” show, and, together with the Tarriers, helped .launch Oscar Brand’s now CTV folk program, “Let’s Sing Out!", the Canadian counterpart of the American “Hootenanny" show. She has sung on many network special presentations such as NBC-TV’s “Songs of Freedom,, and is set for guestings as a folksinger on a half-dozen network shows before the end of the
made Guest Star appearances on such top network TV shows as the Red Skelton Show and the Steve Allen Show.
RCA Victor promptly signed Gale following her audition. Her debut LP on that label is titled "My Kind 	of
Folk Songs”— and why not? The
ented Miss Garnett wrote most of the selections!
Now don’t forget—Gale Garnett will be here for our Spring Week-end from 9:00 to 1:00 Friday night, May 7. See her, listen to her, then remember her!

Softball-Gourmet Tussles To Highlight Sunday Picnic
How would you like to see the students “walk all over” the faculty? Well, there’s a good chance you might sec it happen if you’re at Eldridge Park Sunday, May 9 watching the Spring Weekend Student-Faculty Softball Game. This is really going to be the “Game of the Week”, and one to remember lor a long time to come, so make sure you’re there when they toss that opening pitch at 1:00.
Of course, the students are considered the “underdogs” later on (3:00-6:00) when the bring out the food at the Pavilion. It should be fairly equal eating the 100 steaks,
and the students might hang on through both salads, but by the time they start on the potato chips and relish dish they'll bo slowing down. That's where they get nailed, because the faculty will be finishing up their ice cream by this time, and getting ready to speed up their digestion to the tune of the Buffalo Beatles, who will be playing in the afternoon.
Remember: You can see the Student-Faculty Softball game, enjoy a great meal at the picnic, and swing with “The Buffalo Beaties” when you come to Eldridge Park Sunday. It’s all included in your ticket to “3 DAYS IN MAY.”
CLAUDE THORNHILL
Claude Thornhill at Saturday’s Formal
Saturday night. May 8, will find the cafeteria lavishly decorated for THE formal dance of the year. Tins dance is being held in connection with the annual Spring Weekend and will feature the music of Claude Thornhill's Orchestra. Claude Thornhill has a very unique sound in that he uses trombones and French horns. He has recorded two albums, Claude on a Cloud . . . and Dance to the Sound of Claude Thornhill which are available on Decea Records. The dancing will last from 9 to 1. Refreshments of cookies and punch will be available.
The favors for Spring Weekend will be a 5x7 color photograph of each couple attending. The pictures will be taken by A. Joe Faulisi in the lounge anytime during the course of the evening.

THE CRIER
May 5, 1965
Editorial
Last Thursday, April 29, the newly nominated Publications Board held its first meeting. This board consists of a total of seven members; three members of the faculty, Mrs. Eagleson, Dean Norman, and Mr. Dolan, three students from publications —Judy Makowski, Baronion (year book) editor, Bart Bradley, editor of Impact, and Bill Hagerdon, editor of The Crier, and one student-at-large, Mary Jane Bainbridge.
The Board elected the editor of The Crier as its chairman, and proceeded to discuss and evaluate the past, present and future intentions and purposes of the publications. One of the main criticisms brought up was not that of procedure. It was agreed that content was not an issue, and that if a minimum level of literacy was maintained along with correct journalism procedure, there would be no objection to the existence of these publications.
It is intended that the Board will aid in the proper organization of the publications for next year. With this organization the individual publications should be more efficient and their editors will be relieved somewhat of this fundamental burden. To aid this organization the board suggested that all publications be represented Pre-Frosh Day, so that next year’s students would be aware of the different areas in which they can participate.
I feel that the Publications Board will act as a whole in order to secure the maintenance of high standards for all publications at Corning Community College. This is the goal of the Board, not to restrict and limit the individual publication on campus, but to maintain this level of standards.
Letter to the Editor
Ten Freshmen ‘Elected’ to Board

Dear Editor,
On Thursday, the 8th of April, two of our students were seriously injured in an automobile accident. Susan Aiello, a member of the CRIER staff and the author of "The Fair Sex” and Don Miller were both taken to the Arnot-Ogden Hospital in Elmira.
At present, both students are still at the Hospital. Although the condition of each has improved some-
Circle K recently executed its first major fund raising project. At the last meeting it was decided to sell Kiwanis membership pins to the area Kiwanis clubs. Circle K members contacted the Coming, Painted Post, Elmira, Elmira Heights, and Bath clubs for pin orders. The first order for 65 pans has been received and will be distributed to the clubs this week. Another order of equal size is expected.
The success of this project has

Students may see Don during the day or early evening, but they must be restricted from the Special Care Unit while Sue is still unconscious.
Anyone wishing to write to either Don or Sue may write to them care of the Arnot-Ogden Hospital in Elmira.

exceeded all expectations, for the goal was merely 75 pins but the orders should about double this.
Not only has the project been successful in raising funds but it has made the C.C.C. Circle K. club known to others outside of the City of Coming.
This week Pre-Frosh Day and Spring Weekend will be held. On behalf of Circle K we urge all of you to come and enjoy the activities which many people have worked so hard to provide for us.
Board Reinstates Graduation Ball
The Student Association Board of Directors took the initial steps at the April 27 meeting of the Board for plans for a Graduation Ball.
Due to lack of interest in the affair by previous classes, it was dropped from the calendar of events for this year. The Board felt Tuesday that enough students would be interested to make it a worthwhile event. It was decided that it will be a formal dance of the type for this Saturday night, that is: long or short gowns for the girls and tuxedoes, dinner jackets, or dark suits for the fellows.
A monetary request will be filed at the Student-Faculty Committee Meeting Wednesday, May 5. If the Student Board is granted the money to finance this dance, it will be held the Saturday night before graduation from 9-1. All students, faculty, and administration will be invited.
Drama Club Elects Officers for ’65-’66
The GENECIANS SOCIETY (Drama dub) of the Corning Community College met Thursday, April 28, 1965. The members elected the following slate of officers for next year:
President ___________ Gary	Muck
Vice President Sharon Spencer
Treasurer 	 (Gary	Muck,
till Oct. 66)
Secretary ______ (Sharon	Spencer,
till Oct. 66)
C.I.S.C.A. 	Mike	Poysa
The positions of Secretary and Treasurer are tentative offices until next October when two members of the Freshmen class will be voted to the positions. Dues were voted to remain the same as before.
Next year the Drama Club plans an active year. They plan two major productions (three-act plays) and of course the Faculty Student Talent Show, which was such a smashing success. Also a tentative program for each month is planned. These programs will be held in the Amphitheater. They will consist of one act plays, dramatic readings or a workshop Playhouse on such Rems as makeup and Stage craft. It is the objective of the Drama Club to become the MAJOR group on the campus. Help them in their goal.
By BILL WERELEY
A new sound has been given to folk music (commercial type) by a singing group known as THE SEEKERS in the song “I Know I’ll Never Find Another You.” The sound is known as “folk jazz,” and though it is by no means original to the Seekers, it is a refreshing sound to hear after many long hours of the usual popular music. Folk jazz is a combination of a vocal or instrumental folk type lead or melody line with accompaniment and harmonies that have been taken from the Jazz idiom. The twelve string guitar is used to a great extent, and the overall effect seems to be refreshingly different.
Speaking of the twelve string, it occurs to me that there has been an increasing use of this long-forgotten instrument in rock of late. The rock arrangers and groups have discovered that the instrument performs with much more power than the conventional six string. The primary reason for this is that each time a note is played, two tones are sounded instead of one. The strings are arranged in pairs of two, with the bottom three pairs tuned in octaves (eight notes apart), and the top three in unison. The twelve string was not designed to be an electric instrument, and then adopted by folk music, as some people have suggested to me. The instrument was developed in the south in the late 1600’s, and was adapted to elec-
On Friday, April 30, ten freshmen were elected to fill the twelve vacancies on the Board of Directors for the 1965-66 academic year. Once again a lack of student interest in THEIR government has caused a great problem: namely, not enough candidates to fill the vacancies. According to the Student Government constitution, ten students are to be elected in the spring election from the student body at large and two from the various clubs and organizations on campus. Eight freshmen ran—and were elected to— the seats open from the student body at large, leaving two vacancies. Two ran from the clubs for those positions and were elected. This situation causes innumerable problems for the voter and for the government. First, the voter has no choice about who will be elected. Then, student government cannot work to capacity because of lack of representatives. If student government can’t work to capacity, the Student Body will be directly affected. And, finally, next year’s sophomore class will have representatives who have at least been on campus for a year. It would seem that with all the complaints about the Board which have

tricity some twenty years ago, and subsequently utilized in the Rock idiom. However, it is primarily a folk instrument.
Since the unfortunate closing of THE OTHER ROOM in January, I have been anxiously awaiting the opening of a new coffeehouse in the area, but have to this time been disappointed. It seems that there is neither the interest nor the capital in this area to warrant the opening of a new club. If any of the readers of this column know of a nearby coffeehouse that I have not yet heard about, please let me know so that I may pass the word on to the readers of the CRIER.
Another development that I am waiting for with open ears is the renewal of America’s supremacy as the leader of the popular music field. As you know so well, England and her many groups of shaggy performers have taken over the lead in setting the musical standards for Rock. However, I find it a little distressing when they take American songs and record them with a “Southern Tennessee” accent and flood the market With them. There are many groups in America who can make sounds just as well as the British, and yet they continue to hold the lead in the field. Why????

Enough of the lack of student interest!
Congratulations are extended to the ten students who took interest in government and were elected to the Board on Friday. Representatives from the student body at large for the 1965-65 academic year are: Betty Axtell, Gary Muck, Robert Neally, Michael Poysa, Irving Shoe-naker, Julie Shaffer, Bonnie Stanton, and Diane Zybeck. The two representatives from clubs and organizations are Louis Crain from Sports Car Club and Sharon Spencer from Drama club. These ten, along with Ken Bruyere, President, Jaffer Kas-samali, Vice-president, Rosanne Paradiso, secretary and John J. Clark, Treasurer, will be leading the Student Government at Coming Community through the summer and next year. Give them your support, your ideas, and your criticisms— they are your REPRESENTATIVES ON YOUR GOVERNMENT.

REPORTER'S COMMENT:
“Seriously speaking, I believe that the students would feel more comfortable in class during hot spring and summer days, if they were allowed to wear shorts or possibly slacks. However, the wearing of shorts should be restricted to certain months. We can all agree that the scenery would be greatly improved, but, in some cases, matters could became unbearable!”
is entitled TYPICAL AMERICAN BOYS, and is recorded on the MERCURY label. On the album there is a rare find, that being a guitar instrumental by one of the trio’s accompanists. The album also contains a hilarious spoof on civil rights called “Yawzah” which relates the progresses made in the pronunciation of the words “yes sir" in the south. All in all, the album seems to be a masterpiece both in song content and technique, and is recommended for all commercialized folk fans.
FLASH!!! On May eight, at Bailey Hall on the Cornell University campus in Ithaca, the great JOSH WHITE will be appearing. I suggest that anyone planning to attend write for advance tickets. There were several hundred people turned away from the doors at the last folk concert I attended at Ithaca.

Look On The Bright Side
By EUGENE GREY
As we approach the last few weeks of our matriculation at C.C.C. we might spend a moment or so in thoughtful contemplation of all we have received at this noble institution. We may of course point to the obvious, i.e. the classroom education. But dear reader, education is much more than what we receive in the classroom, as fine and enlightening as it may be.
Was it not the Duke of Wellington who said that great battles of England were won on the playing fields of Eton? And so it is also at Coming.
I dare say we have learned more from our physical education department than in many of the other courses we have pursued. I could Most infinitely all that we have learned in the physical education department but only a few examples will prove my thesis.
We have the opportunity to learn the intricacies of such splendid sports as volleyball, bowling, archery, and of course, we must not forget badminton! All these are taught with the aid of a four dollar handbook! Oh, how our lives have been made more complete by these fine endeavors!
We must not forget the ‘learning experiences’ as the tests are called in the phys. ed. department. Each activity has a final written test, oops!, learning experience that judges our proficiency and determines whether we are competent in the sports we are engaged in.
How uplifting to get a superior mark in a volleyball test and know forever and always that it was good old M. P. Morgan who invented the splendid game. (I will add that this is probably the only time I will ever be able to use this information. It is kind of difficult to work into the average conversation.)
Same people I have discussed the subject with have contended that the purpose of the phys. ed. professors is to make a simple activity or subject difficult, but this is not so! They are dedicated as if they were called by a divine spirit to enlighten us, give us guidance, and make our lives more full and complete. It is truly a noble endeavor and we wish them well.

Alumni Reorganize
The Alumni are beginning to get organized. April 15, 1965, was the first time that any of C.C.C.’s graduates have gathered together as a C.C.C. Alumni group. They were served a delicious luncheon by the College with the Student Association Board of Directors. About fifteen Alumni came to this affair and would like to establish the Alumni Luncheon or Banquet as a tradition at Coming.
It was decided at this meeting that one member of each class would be selected to help organize the Alumni and not let it slip away. Questionnaires have been sent to approximately 475 graduates, all of those since 1960. Several questions are asked of them, including, "would you like to have a copy of the Crier sent out every two weeks?"
As a direct result of this questionnaire, the students this year, headed by Carol Kieffer, are hoping to get a list of all interested Alumni, together with their names and addresses. Those who respond to tins questionnaire will find themselves invited to an Alumni Banquet to be held some time in the middle of June. A definite date for this event has not yet been chosen.
Faculty, and Organizational Chart. These meetings were held all morning and afternoon with occasional breaks to give the discussion leaders a chance to talk with their advisors. Before dinner that evening, the conventioneers browsed about the various tables, which were equipped with school flags, newspapers, pictures and other materials which would let the students know what the other colleges were like and were doing.
The purpose of this convention as to establish a format for a dream college. Dr. Gould, president of the State University of New York, informed the conventioneers that the ideas formulated at this meeting would almost certainly be in effect in whole or in part in ten years.
Tuesday went much like Monday. The ideas discussed on Monday were formalized. An interesting note is that eight of the ten “A” and “B" groups agreed on their topic findings. The only exceptions were Buildings and Grounds and Finances. After a lot of interesting discussion, compromise was also reached in these areas.
The final decision was that the college would be a $32 million private corporation with 5000 students and a 1:25 ratio of qualified teachers (40 percent with Dr. degrees) to students. It would be located in, a suburban area 10-20 miles from a large city. The campus itself would be in the shade of a wheel with the library on the hub and the other buildings radiating out. A Ml report on all of the decisions will be sent to each member college's library soon.

TO VOTE or NOT TO VOTE
Many students wonder why so tew people voted in the recent elections for Student Board officers. There may be a logical solution.
We know that the leaders of our country are the source of those ideas which shape our collective lives. These ideas are transmitted through the mass media to various group opinion leaders who in turn transmit them to the group which they represent. Perhaps this system also works in reverse. By a process entirely unconscious, the members of these various sub-groupings of the Student Body instructed their respective opinion leaders on how to vote in the Board election. This delegating of responsibility for voting to one man (whose vote will represent the collective opinion of the group) seems to operate in any area in which it is necessary for a number of people to seek redress of their grievances. (The typical example used is labor-management disputes).
This theory assumes that the People rank their votes in order of importance, and in direct proportion to their collective opinion on the various issues in which they have the opportunity to cast their ballots. The first half of this theory of information dissemination has been the subject of much favorable sociological research. There is, to my knowledge, no research to either prove or disprove the idea that, in the voting procedure, the same theory operates, but in reverse. It would seem, however, to answer the question of why so few people vote on so-called “popular issues.” The responsibility of voting has been delegated. And the People allow this system, since they cannot as a whole be deprived of their right to vote (and thus of their right to express their individual opinions on issues with which they may feel more intimately connected. Such an issue was the presidential election of 1964).

‘Trade Rather Than Aid’ Acevedo Pan-Am Day Topic
By SANDY GRYBOS
On Wednesday, April 14, Mr. Val-more Acevedo, was guest speaker on the subject; “Trade Rather Than Aid.’’ His appearance was sponsored by the International Relations Club in recognition of Pan-American Day.
Mr. Acevedo stressed the need for foreign trade, rather than aid by the Latin American countries as a challenge to international cooperation. "International cooperation,'' he said, “can be approached from two points of view:
1. The concept of international social justice; and
2. International solidarity in terms of bilateral aid.’’
Although some countries believe that they satisfy the international solidarity through foreign aid, it is not enough to solve the economic problems of Latin American countries. The improvement of international trade could be a better answer to international social justice. Foreign trade is necessary to the social and economic development of these countries.
Mr. Acevedo brought out the fact the foreign aid does not always get appropriated to where a country needs it the most. The Latin American countries face the problem of the increase of imports over exports. Along with this is the decreasing value of exports, which, in turn, decreases their purchasing power. The tariffs of trade is another factor which is decreasing the value of commodities.
The GNP of Latin American countries increases rapidly by greater expansion of exports, but when exports are limited, there is a contraction in the flow of goods.
The U.S. and Europe absorb only a small fraction of the exports of these countries. They need aid to improve technological development and trade to absorb the exports they can produce.
Well, it looks like the fellows made it back after the vacation — in one shape or another. The first night back everyone kept waiting for the next guy to come back to see what spectacular thing he had done. It turned out that everyone had a most uneventful Easter. In fact, one number seemed to sum up the group story; 13. Frank Lechut shot 13 woodchucks; Dick Simons shot 13 crows. John York typed a 13 page term paper; Bill Hagerdon made 13 phone calls one day. Bob Bennet got paid $13 one afternoon, and Duffy got 13 miles per gallon with his car. To stretch this coincidence a little— John Bistaff forgot to do the Runyon House article 13 times—at least 13 times.
Everyone who shares a room, or lives under the same roof probably encounters the problem of noise vs. Study hours. Well, here are some comments that have arisen as a result of this forbidden foolishness— do any sound familiar? “Hey — What's goin’ on in there? . . . Ya think it’s funny? You’ve had your last warning-—shape up or ship out! Don’t do it! ... don’t do it! What’s the matter with you guys? Don’t you know it’s 2:00 a.m.? AH right you ”%%-guys—SHUT UP!!!’’
It takes a good sense of humor and a lot of patience to live together successfully, and all the fellows seem to have lots of both. These same requirements are going to have to apply to C.C.C, on “Anything Can. Happen Day,” May 7, because Runyon House has been planning for plotting) for this day for months! We intend to show how things can be accomplished through a little cooperation. Just wait—we’ll see who pulls the biggest stunt of all!!!
Mr. Acevedo stated that the economical problems of these countries can become a source of international tension if we do not take part in improving trade relations. He concluded that democracy is the best way to improve trade relations and to preserve freedom and human dignity.

Through The Gears
By RICK PERRY FORD SUFFERS DEFEAT
Mike Parks of Great Britain drove a Ferrari to victory over the factory Ford entries in the 1,000 kilometer classic at Monza, Italy on April 26. Parks and Jean Guichet of France kept their Ferrari Prototype ahead all the way after taking the lead early from Britain’s John Surtees, also Ferrari. Parks and Guichet averaged 125.5 MPH for the 100 laps over the 6.21 mile course. The best Ford in the prototype category was third. This was the car driven by Ken Miles and Bruce McLaren. Surtees turned in the fastest lap speed of 133.6 MPH.
At Trenton N.J. last Sunday, Big Jim McElreath and his Offenhauser engine car, designed by former world champion road racer Jack Brabham, rapped out a rear engine victory in the rain shortened Trenton 100, USAC preview to Indianapolis. A light rain fell through the early part of the race but slippery conditions forced officials to halt the race at 87 laps. Second to McElreath was young Mario Andretti, a bright newcomer to the USAC championship trail. Andretti drove a conventional Offenhauser roadster. A. J. Foyt and Roger Ward, both in rear engine Fords, challenged briefly but withdrew with mechanical troubles.
Did you know that there are two locally owned full race Cobras? Jack Pavling in Watkins Glen has one ready for the upcoming racing season at the Glen. The other one is owned by Millard Ripley in Ithaca.

Freshmen Class Shows Initiative, Enter prize in School Problems
The initiative and enterprise shown by our Freshmen class is truly encouraging. We hear many complaints on various Student Government subjects such as blazers, food service, Spring Weekend . , . Petitions are vigorously circulated on numerous occasions . . . nine freshmen choose to run for Board (twelve offices to be filled).
It’s going to be very interesting to hear the numerous complaints about poor representation next year. My appreciation and respect is due to those who had the initiative and responsibility to run. As you administer your offices, remember that you are conscientiously required to fulfill your duties to the best interest of the student body in spite of the fact that they have given you so little support.

Appreciation is due to the many students who have supported the RULES ENFORCEMENT COMMITTEE. The eating areas are improving as are the lounges and

recreation rooms. There’s still a lot of work to be done, but with your interest and cooperation, it will be done.

The STUDENT HONOR COMMITTEE will hold another meeting on Monday, May 3rd. The Faculty and Administration will again be invited, but this time students in general will be invited to attend and voice their opinions. At file last meeting, the Faculty, Administration, and Executive Committee of the Student Board were invited. The meeting proved very interesting and beneficial. On Monday, May 3rd, at 1:00 in C-202 (Classroom building) the next open meeting will be held. It is hoped that student participation will further enhance the meeting.

The Spring Weekend at C.C.C. “Three Days in May” will be held May 8, 9, and 10 as posted. This annual event is always a blast. Beginning with Anything Can Happen and Bermuda Day on Friday, the momentum picks up to the picnic at Eldridge Park on Sunday. The picnic alone is usually well worth the ticket price. Dave Blampied, Committee Chairman, assures me that this will be the best weekend ever. Hope to see you all there!

See your advisor or go to the Student Personnel Office and talk to one of the Deans. Make an appointment now, and get the matter cleared up. Don’t Wait!
Your advisor or anyone in the Student Personnel Office will be glad to help you decide where to go from here. It is important, however, that you don’t wait too long-
