The Crier Friday, March 21,1986 Volume XXVII Number 2 Visiting Scholar: Giovanni to be next lecturer Nikki Giovanni, poet, writer, and lecturer, will visit CCC on Monday, March 24, through Wednesday, March 26, as this year's third Visiting Scholar. She will read some of her poems and lecture at 12:30 in the Large lounge. Both of these portions of the program are open to the public and free of charge. Nikki Giovanni was bom in 1943 and grew up in Cincinnati in a middle class black family. She graduated from Fisk University in Nashville in 1967 and later did graduate work at the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia. She has written over a dozen books of poetry and has produced recordings of much of her work. Among the best known of her collections is Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day, published in 1978. Her two most recent books of poetry are Spin A Soft Nikki Giovanni Black Song (1985) and Those Who Ride the Night Winds (1984). Giovanni sees herself as an individualist and feels that groups are formed and function because of the individual needs. She further states that "a lot of the needs in the black community at this point are really very personal needs and are not going to be satisfied by group involve- ment." This outlook...led to Giovanni standing apart from the mainstream of Black poetry.. .Although some of her poetry includes militant Black revolutionary sentiment, she more often writes of love and life and the individual's fight for survival. She has added to her diverse following through lecturing on college campuses,reading her poetry on television, and recording her poetry on five albums which have became popular with all age groups. This year's Visiting Scholar series is funded through grants by the Student Government and the Faculty/Student Association of the College. Proposal threatens Student Aid by Michelle Huston In light of the huge U.S. deficit, President Reagan submitted a proposal in 1985 for possible budget cats to be made in 1986. That proposal was reaffirmed February 1, 1986, when Reagan issued a presidential order. With this order in effect, Congress has until March 1st to substitute equivalent cuts or the proposal takes effect. Part of the proposal contained cuts in the New York GSL program totalling $750 million, 75% of the original funds. The remaining $250 million will barely scratch the surface of student need. This cut will greatly decrease most lender's interest in the program, making it harder for student's to find agencies still giving the loans. Also, students will generally receive lower awards with higher interest rates. NYS Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) president Delores E. Cross feels that these things will "virtually destroy" the GSL program in New York. Reagan's proposal also cuts funding from the following programs: the Pell Grant (by 8.8% this year and 20% in FY'87), the College Work Study and Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant by 60%, with a merger of the two, and a complete cut off of the State Student Incentive Grant, (previously a contributor of $6.4 million in NYS.) The National Direct Student Loan program was cut by 89% with an interest rate hike proposed for FY'87, and finally, a student contribution of $800 must be made above and beyond the expected family contribution. Though all of this sounds terrible, it will be at least a year before the cuts take effect. It is recommended that you file your TAP and FAF forms soon to receive as much aid as possible. Vote Fall ’86 SG by Doreen DiNardo ELECTIONS FOR STUDENT GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE BOARD POSITIONS for next Fall will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 25 and 26, from 10:00 to 12:00 noon, in the Commons lobby. It is extremely important that every student exercise his or her right and obligation to participate in the elections by voting. Student Government exists to represent you, the student body, and to assure that your student activity fee is spent in the most beneficial way. Every Coming student is directly affected by Student Government, so there is no excuse for not taking the opportunity to cast a vote. This year's candidates are: President, Jason Capo-riccio; Vice President, Ivan Eddy Jr.; Student Trustee, Erika Remlinger and Sallie Maxwell; Treasurer, Elise Gofran and John Salvati; and Auditing Treasurer, Steve Vozenelik. The candidates conducted the annual Issues Forum on Thursday, March 20 in the Ccmmons. Presided over by Student Trustee Bill Tice, each candidate gave a brief summary of their views on the positions they acre seeking, and addressed the reasons why they feel they are qualified. Also, on the 25th and 26th there will be voting for Magistrates for next Fall's Student Judiciary. Current candidates are Devin Coppola, Dennis Monahan, and Mildred Newman. There are ten positions available. For more information, contact the Student Government office. STUDENT NEWS The Crier Friday, March 21,1986 2 Counseling survey The New Crier Student Government is considering funding personal counseling services to be administered by the Activities Office, similar to the free legal advice which has been operating successfully for 6 years. We anticipate that the number of students seeking this counseling will increase as the college counselors continue to find it necessary to restrict services to academic issues. It is anticipated that approximately 200 students would benefit from this service annually. Consequently, CCC, Student Government and Family Service would like to join hands in a pilot program to provide a Student Assistance Program on campus. Family Service would offer on-site counseling on a weekly basis dealing with alcohol/drug abuse, school- relates stress, marital, job, career, family, sexual abuse, child abuse, crisis intervention for cases that need immediate attention (suicide ideation, domestic violence, or grief reaction) as well as identification of problems, brief intervention and appropriate community referral. This service is considered particularly beneficial to the adult returning student including the single parent who has additional stresses to deal with. This type of program would enable the academic counselors on campus to refer personal problems in a much simpler and efficient way and students may, therefore, be more likely to take advantage of the available service. All dealings would, of course,be strictly dealing with confidential WE NEED YOUR INPUT! Production aided by computers With this issue, The Crier began using personal computers in the production of the paper. This development will eliminate many of the problems that have arisen while using the obsolete Compugraphic typesetting machine. With the help of David Frank and Greg Frank in the Word Processing room, Crier staff writers are learning how to operate the PCs and explore the many options now available. In addition to being an easier method for preparing the articles for print, the computer files provide for a safer and more permanent means of storage and easy retrieval of articles. Also, the reason the paper looks like it was typed is because there is only one cartridge for the laser printer in the word processing lab. Hopefully, a cartridge with the appropriate typestyle will be available soon. Better late than never The Crier regrets that, due to typesetting equipment failures, this issue was delayed by two weeks. This unfortunate event forces The Crier to change all previous deadlines. The new deadlines are available in the Crier office downstairs in the Commons, or by dialing 962-9339 (ext.339 on campus). -tear here- I am in favor of Student Government funding personal counseling on campus. _I, personally, would benefit from such a service. I know of others that would benefit from this service. I question the need. _I am totally against it. Other comments. Please complete and return to Student Government or Activities Office. Thank You. Job interview practice Kay Wilder, Supervisor of College Relations and Recruiting at Coming Glass Works, has been working with potential spring graduates at Coming Community College to help them prepare for their upcoming job interviews. Interested students have signed up with the Career Development and Transfer Service Office at the college for a fifteen minute mock interview with Wilder. Students are asked to dress as if they are going to a real employment interview. Each session is recorded on video so that the student and a career counselor from the college can view the interview and critique it together. This program was co-developed by Coming Community College and Coming Glass Works. The program is one of several techniques employed by the Career Development and Transfer Services staff to assist students in the process of career preparation. Class 1986 Graduates IT'S TIME ! Get measured for your CAP AND GOWN AT THE COLLEGE STORE now Until March 28 STUDENT NEWS The Crier Friday, March 21,1986 3 NYS Student Fast Form A Message from Roderick G. W. Chu State Taxation and Finance Commissioner Student life is "taxing" enough term papers to write, lab experiments, research assignments, exams... We'd like to help. We can't do your schoolwork for you, but we'll be glad to figure your income tax this year if you file the new Student Fast Form income tax return. What is the student fast form? The Student Fast Form is the fastest, simplest income tax form in the United States. It has only six lines and absolutely no computations. You just fill in some basic information from your federal return, and the Tax Department will figure your taxes for ycu, allowing the $2,500 standard deduction and $850 personal exemption. You can even use the Student Fast Form to give a "Gift for Wildlife." Who can use it? If you are a single student with no dependents, you were a New York resident for all of 1985, and you are a dependent of your parents or a legal guardian, you will probably qualify to file the Student Fast Form. Other qualifications include: * You had income only from wages, salaries, tips, interest and dividends. * You are claiming the New York standard deduction (rather than itemizing your deductions). * You were not a part-year resident of the City of New York or the City of Yonkers. * You did not have any nonresident income from sources the City of New York or the City of Yonkers. * You did not make 1985 estimated tax payments. * You did not claim an overpayment credit from your 1984 tax return (i.e., have all or part of your 1984 tax refund applied toward your 1985 tax liability.) How does the Student Fast Form work? Sophisticated new optical scanners and advanced computer technology make the Student Fast Form possible. The new equipment "reads" the Fast Form and New York Slate ITT Your social security number Information from your wage and tax statements City of Yonkers tax withheld Signature automatically computes the lowest possible tax, based on the information you give us on the form. Students who are due refunds will receive them along with an explanation of how the refund was computed. If tax is owed, you will receive a bill which must be paid by the normal tax deadline of*April 15. or within ten days of the date of your bill, whichever is later. Tax filing will never be fun, but at least now it's fast. Look for a copy of the Student Fast Form in your campus library or student center. Forms are also available by calling the New York State Tax Department's toll-free Forms and Publications Hotline at 1-800-452-8100 and we'll send you one-fast! Office moved The health services office, which was originally located in the gym, has been moved to the commons next to the used book store. This move was needed to make the office more centralized and available to students. The treatment room is still in the gym and will be used on an "as-needed" basis. The students, according to Arlene Updyke-nurse practitioner/ physician's assistant, should first report to the office in the commons concerning illnesses and injuries. If they are unable to get to the office, it is possible to reach her on the telepage through a phone asking for public safety. The office hours are from 8:30 to 3:00. For office use - 5 FREE TUTORS ARE AVAILABLE on campus at no cost to you peer tutors scheduled tours appointments available most freshmen courses Free tutors are available for many courses. You can take advantage of this service on a regular basis or only at those times when you need a little extra help USE TUTORS FOR REVIEWING BEFORE TESTS ASKING QUESTIONS HAVING CONCEPTS CLARIFIED DIRECTING YOUR STUDY TIME Contact your instructor to find out about the availability of tutors for your course. Your instructor will let you know how to contact the tutor. (Tutoring for English, Math and computer courses takes place in the respective labs. Contact the lab supervisor.) STUDENT NEWS The Crier Friday, March 21,1986 4 Update Student Government Anti-Nuke Dinner by Doreen DiNardo During the past month, Coming Community College has continued to be the place where the action is. An amendment to the constitution was recently passed. This amendment states that "student government shall join no external group, organization, or intercollegiate affiliation without the express concent of two-thirds of the General Body." The February 12 Red Cross Blood Bank raised 98 pints. Even though this was 22 pints short of the goal, there was a noticeable improvement in the general attitude towards the event. WCEB won the traditional competition between clubs by donating 15 pints. They were followed by Criminal Justice Society with 12 and Tech Guild with 8. Since February 13, 8 more students have been voted in as senators. Congratulations are in order for Colleen Bell, Tony Calderone, Jennifer Femer, Murray Hanmore, Doralee Huttleston, Don Mason, Patti Mawhiney, and Tina Peterson. The Sunfest committee continues to meet every Wednesday at 2:00, to plan for the May 10 extravaganza. The bands that will appear will be announced soon. The campus television monitor system is operating once again. To place a message, stop in at the Vets honored The Veterans Association of Coming Community College received a certificate of appreciation from the Marine Corps League of the Southern Tier for their contribution in the "Toys for Tots Campaign" 1985. The Vets on carpus collected and delivered approximately six boxes of used toys to the Marine center on Bridge Street in Coming. The Vets also purchased and donated $150 worth of new toys for the campaign. audio-visual room in the library. WCEB will provide a cable converter box for the large-screen TV in Spencer Pub. Unfortunately, it will be necessary for the box to be secured to the set to prevert theft. It was announced that because of a lack of funding, there will be no more Brown Bag Forums, nor will the college continue to operate a doctor's service. It is still mandatory for organizations to get their budget reports in on time. In addition, Student Government Auditing Treasurer Julie Metal announced that there will be two more openings on the Budget Committee. Not only is this a paying position, it gives you the opportunity to see that your student activity fee is spent in the most productive way. Meetings are held on Tuesdays from 2-5. There are 10 openings for student magistrates for the 1986-87 academic year. Part of the student judiciary system, these students will meet only if a conflict (a personal dispute between two students, for example) arises. Student Government meetings are held every Thursday at 12:30 in room 106 of the Classroom Building. All students are invited and encouraged to attend.

To reach an unknown destiny. Hitchhiking... On the roads of my soul. Questioning... Answering... Searching for something to reach out to, And hold close to my heart. Sometimes... Walking on air. Caressing lady time with one gentle hand. Comforting... Controlling... My aimless search for a new sunrise. Setting one of my feet down here, The other there. Exploring realms of mystery. Tempting... Taunting... The endless valley of knowledge. That spans out before me. Trying to find... What I am? Who I am? And wondering... Where do I go from here? Controlled by the endless dream, Of finding....

Book Reviews His show is the greatest show on earth as far as the entertainment industry is concerned, because it is the climax of Hollywood's favorite guessing game — "Who Will Win the Oscar?" This year more that 500 million will see it via TV and satellite, and when the delayed broadcast tapes air in foreign countries, approximately 750 million will know who won the golden Oscar. Oscar is 58 years old this year. His annual Academy Awards Presentation will take place Monday, March 24 and be seen on the ABC Television Network. While we don't know who will win what on March 24, (Oscar is the most secretive individual in the entire world) we thought you'd like to quiz yourself and your friends about the Oscar and the Academy Awards. Here are 22 questions, plus two tiebreakers, that will challenge the most knowledgeable Oscar aficionados among you. QUESTIONS 1) Four actors have won Oscars for screenwriting. Name them, the year and the films. 2) Who was the first performer to win consecutive Oscars? 3) Who was the first black performer to win an Oscar? Name the film and the date. 4) Of the 57 films named Best Picture only one was a western. Which one? 5) What Oscar-winning John Ford film appears on the television in "E.T."? 6) What was the first film in color to win the Best Picture Oscar? 7) What was the last black and white film to win a Best Picture Oscar? 8) Meryl Streep won Best Actress award in 1982 for "Sophie's Choice." What other actress won an Oscar for playing another famous Sophie? 9) This Oscar-winning actor appeared in the best film of 1977 and 1978. Name him and the films. 10) Only two actors in Academy history have won Oscars for playing the same character. Name them, the character they played and the title of the films. 11) Has anyone ever directed himself to an Oscar victory? 12) Name the only presenter to award himself an Oscar. 13) Has any film produced all four acting winners? 14) Which film has won the most Oscars? 15) Only two motion pictures in the history of the Academy Awards have had their entire casts nominated for Oscar contention. Name the films and the performers. 16) What was the first sound film to win an Oscar? 17) Only one woman has ever been nominated for a Best Director Oscar. Name her, the year and the film. 18) Only five pairs of co-stars have ever taken home the Best Actor and Best Actress Oscars. Name them, the films and the years. 19) Name the actor who was the first to win an Oscar for a role in a musical. 20)Only seven performers have won Oscars in both leading and supporting acting categories during their careers. Name them and the films for which they won. 21) What historical character garnered the most Oscar nominations for the performers who played him? Name the performers and the films. 22) What was the first sequel to win an Oscar as Best Picture? Plus tie-breakers!: A) Name the only director to direct seven acting nominees in any one Awards year. B) Clark Gable, Hugh Griffith, Diane Keaton, Shirley Maclaine and Talia Shire belong to the exclusive group of performers who have appeared in three films that won the Best Picture award. Name the three films each was in. The answers will appear in the next issue: by Bill Whiting Hello, and welcome to a column that will be, I hope, interesting and informative. Each issue I will discuss four books, one in each of four different categories; Science Fiction, Fantasy, Classic, and Sleeper. The last category, by the way, is not (necessarily) a boring book, but rather one which is not widely read, or even heard of. Science Fiction - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams. ***1/2. Yes, many of you have already heard of it, (those who haven't, sign up now for Vogon Poetry Appreciation 101,15 cr. hr.), but still it is one of the premier books in humorous Science Fiction, and deserves mention once again. Fantasy - Golem in the Gears. by Piers Anthony. ***1/2. Yes, the ninth book in the "Xanth Trilogy" is out, and it's not just for diehard Xanth fans. Enough background is given so that this book can easily stand on its own, and even a newcomer to Anthony's works can enjoy this lighthearted tale of Heroic Fantasy. Classic - Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson). ****1/2. "Oh no! Not that!" you're probably screaming. Although generally classified as a children's story because it was first designed to amuse a little girl, this tale has a lot going for it, including excellent, and fun, socio-politic satire. In fact,some of the original material was removed from the book because it was too scathing. If you haven't read it recently, or ever, get a copy and enjoy. Trust me! Sleeper- - Below the Root, by Zilpha Keatley Snyder. ****. This book may not qualify as a Sleeper much longer since it has inspired a computer game, but it deserves mention anyway. It is the start of an excellent trilogy in a world whose society is based in Peace and Love, but which harbors a dark secret under the forest floor. This book is a good choice if you can find it. * Bury this book. ** Read only as assigned material. *** Read if convenient. **** Read if possible -a cut above. ***** Beg, borrow or steal, or, if necessary, BUY!

That time when David must once more go to war and try to slay the mighty Goliath. Only this time, instead of picking up his sling, David will pick up his preferred athletic shoes; instead of a stone, David will pick up a basketball. Then he will meet Goliath at center court, a neutral party will toss the ball into the air, and David will go to war. To the victor go the spoils, and the spoils this time around include a trip to Dallas and a shot at the NCAA basketball championship. There are several David versus Goliath battles in the first round of this years! tourney. Take Drexel against Louisville. Take Brown against Syracuse on the Orangemen's home court. Other classic David versus Goliath first round pairings include; Montana State-St. Johns; Utah-North Carolina; Mississippi Valley State-Duke; Cleveland State-Indiana; Ball State-Memphis State and Akron-Michigan. There are more. With 64 teams in the tourney and a seeding process ALEX II would have trouble grasping, first round David-Goliath matchups are as inevitable as cold February nights in Coming. Yet, every year a David or two manages to slay a might Goliath and cause the "experts" to dip into their bottomless bag of ifs and buts excuses. So be it. Best bet for this year's David— Cleveland State. Enough of D-G matchups. The show must go on, and like sports enthusiasts all over the country, I will analyze the regional and pick the "Final Four". The NCAA, in its infinite wisdom, sent a bunch of Eastern schools to the Midwest and West regionals in hopes of balancing those regions; They succeeded, but unfortunately left the East and Southeast imbalanced. Phil’s All-Americans by Phil Costa As long as I picked my final four, like most other sports enthusiasts, I'll also pick my All-American squad. Picking any position is difficult, but this year there are so many outstanding guards in the country that we'll likely see a half dozen or so All-American backcourts. At any extent, here's mine: FIRST TEAM FORWARD- Bias, Maryland FORWARD- Berry, St. Jchns CENTER- Daugherty, North Carolina GUARD- Curry, Va. Tech GUARD- Dawkins, Dike SECOND TEAM FORWARD- Walker, Kentucky FORWARD- Manning, Kansas CENTER- Norman, Illinois GUARD- Washington, Syracuse GUARD- Wagner, Louisville THIRD TEAM FORWARD- Tarpley, Michigan FORWARD- Alarie, Dike CENTER- Bedford, Memphis St. GUARD- Alford, Indiana GUARD- Price, Ga. Tech In the East the big question is, can anyone beat Duke? The top ranked Blue Devils lost only two games all year (to North Carolina and Georgia Tech) and are currently riding a sixteen game winning streak. Unless someone like Syracuse or Oklahoma (providing they don't get upset earlier) has a hot night, the Blue Devils have a cakewalk to Dallas. I'll buy that- Duke in the East. Kansas and Michigan appear to be heading towards a showdown in the Midwest, but they have to beat some good teams to reach it. North Carolina State, Georgetown,Notre Dame, Michigan State and Iowa State all have enough talent to pull an upset in this region. There are other good teams here also, making this region real hard to call. Stranger things have happened- North Carolina State. Kentucky and Georgia Tech are clearly the favorites in the Southeast, but there are some maybes. Like Syracuse, LSU has an opportunity to build up some momentum by winning its first two games on its home court. Instead of Brown, however, LSU must open against Purdue, a bit more of a test. Virginia Tech could cause teams problems, as could Illinois and Memphis State. My friends in Kentucky, forgive me-Georgia Tech. The West will be wild, to say the least. North Carolina and St. Johns are two of the best teams in the country and Louisville is one of, if not the hottest team in the country. Maryland, Nevada-Las Vegas, Auburn, Arizona, and Alabama- Birmingham all can play. Bradley wants to prove itself, but I fear they're in the wrong region to do it. No, I'm not going to pick an all ACC final four-Louisville. Not to hog space, I asked same other sports enthusiasts to select their final four. Here are some other picks:Carl Penziul- Duke, Georgia Tech, Kansas, Louisville. Wayne Kenner-Duke, Georgia Tech, Kansas, Louisville (is there an echo in here). Woody Knowles-Duke, Georgia Tech, Kansas, Louisville (there's that damn echo again). John Polo-Dike, Georgia Tech, Michigan, St. Johns. Ah, the echo partially dies. Simon, Polo honored Wrestler, Coach inducted into Hall One coach and one wrestler from Corning Community College were inducted into the National Junior College Region III Hall of Fame during the New York State Junior College Wrestling Championships at SUNY Delhi. John Polo, Professor of Health and Physical Education and wrestling coach of the dominating CCC wrestling teams of the early '70s, and Dave Simon, -two time Region III Champion in 1978 and 1979 were inducted into the Hall of Fame based on their contributions to wrestling in New York State Junior College Wrestling. The honors were voted upon and presented by the Region III Coaches Association. John Polo coached from 1970 through 1976 and produced a record of 68 wins, 14 losses and 2 ties, with his teams consistently placing in the top three at Regional Championships. In 1972, his team was the champion, qualifying eight wrestlers of the ten weight classes for national competition. They placed 9th out of the more than 100 junior colleges represented at the tournament. Coach Polo has produced four All-Americans during that time. Along with his coaching endeavors, he has continually worked to improve wrestling in the Southern Tier by promoting invitational tournaments, conducting high school wrestling clinics, coaching elementary school programs, and officiating wrestling events over the past 22 years. Polo was instrumental in developing one of the biggest junior wrestling tournaments in the state which consistently has over 450 participants in over 50 weight classes at various age groups. Coach Polo was twice voted by his fellow coaches in Region III as Coach of the Year. SPORTS The Crier Friday, March 21,1986 11 Red Barons close campaign by Phil Costa An outstanding 1985-86 basketball campaign came to a heartbreaking close on Saturday, March 8 as Wayne Kenner's charges dropped an 82-81 overtime thriller to Champlain Junior College in the regional semi-finals at Auburn, New York. The Red Barons finished the season with a 24-7 record. Ron Boyd and Tony Clark paced the Barons with 26 and 25 points respectively, while Reg Corley tossed in 14. As was the case in several losses this season, the Barons hurt themselves at the foul line, converting only 11 of 27 free throws. At any extent, congratulations are in order for an outstanding season. The Red Barons reached the regional finals with victories over Finger Lakes CC and Monroe CC on March 1 and 2 at the CCC gym. Four players scored in double figures in the 82-65 triumph over Finger Lakes: Steve Milton (24), Tony Clark (19), Reg Corley (18), and Ron Boyd (13).
