McMahon’s appointment, Hangen said, “is an indication of the close cooperation of Coming Community College and local industry. It is recogniton of the fact that industry has a significant role to play in the continuing development of the community college system. It will provide the college with an experienced, talented individual in a key planning function. He possesses the extraordinary combination of a solid business career specifically in personnel administration - with considerable experience in the deucational field.” McMahon is considered to be highly knowledgeable about the college’s affairs, having served on its board of trustees for more than 11 years -- from 1969 until earlier this year. That service included more than four years, for 1976, as chairman. Houghton said Coming GIFFORD SERVES AS REGIONAL FACILITATOR George L.

The Cher Page 2 American Writers Congress Over 3,000 writers will participate in The American Writers Congress, to be held inNew York City, October 9-12,1981, at the Roosevelt Hotel, according to The National Institue, the evertfls organizer. The Congress, called for by some of the country’s leading writers, authors, and poets, will feature panels, workshops, caususes. and plenary seesion to examine writers’ rights, bread-and-butter issues, and the role of writing in the United States. “Serious writing in America is fighting for its existence,"explianed Ann Marie Cunningham, Director of The American Writers Congress. “New writers find it increasingly difficult to publish and even established writers are subject to what novelist Mary Lee Settle has called the ‘censorship of slow-moving books.’ “Government support for the arts and humanities is being slahed and new communications technologies pose ominous threats,” Ms. Cunningham declared. “For these reasons, the Congress has been created to preserve the character, quality, and critical spirit of our literary culture.” “'/^across the country, attacks on writers-libel suits, bookbannfngs, government and special interest group censorship-are on the rise,” sated Kurt Vonnegut, author of Slaughterhouse five and other books. “Someone is circulating a list of bad books. They are interested in establishing a community’s right to censor. I’m shocked not only as a writer, but also as a concerned citizen at how little love there is for the United States Constitution.” Also in support of the goals of the Congress, noted author Spiegler Named Asst. Director Meta Spiegler of 12 Briarcliff Drive, Coming, has been named assistant director of student activities and coordinator of disabled students at Coming Communtiy College. She will continue in her present post as coordinator of student housing. Dean of student services, John W. Kelley, observed that “Meta’s past eight years as coordinator of student housing has amply prepared her for the new responsibilities. Her close contact with entering and returning students gives her an awareness of their real needs. The College is fortunate to have a person in this position who enjoys Meta’s rapport with students.” Ms. Spiegler has resided in the Coming area with her husband John, a machine engineer manager at Coming Glass, since 1969. They have two daughter, Judy Paskind of Middletown,NY and Brenda Spiegler of Takoma Park, MD. of Fire In The Lake, Frances FitzGerald, said, “We believe that both the private interests of writers and a vital publix interest are at stake. Growing * concentration in the communication industry, the decline of magazines of general social interest--not to mention the decline of literacy itself-all have a profound effect on the flow of information vital to democracy.” The Congress begins on Friday, October 9 with the World’s Largest Literary Cocktail Pary. Keynote panels will address the political, economic and aesthetic creses writers face in the 1980s, while workshops will meet throughout the Congress to focus upon the specific problems. At the conclusion of the Congress, all participants will debate and vote on resolutions for further action. “Today the issues facing Richardson Re-Appointment Janet W.

STUDENT SUR VIVAL There is one item which is essential to college students as the clothes, books and furniture they’ve carted off to school: insurance. Under most homeowners and renter policies, students who are still permanent residents of their families’ household are insured at their new temporary residence under the parent’s policy, according to George Kasbohm, vice president of underwriting for the Kemper Group. If a loss occurs at school, the students can collect up to 10 percent of their parents’ personal property coverage or $ 1,000, whichever is greater. “For example,” Kasbohm explained, ”a family with a homeowners policy for $80,000 normally would have $40,000 personal property coverage. If the daughter’s apartment at school is burglarized, she could collect up to $4,000 for personal property loss.” A move to college may also affect a family’s auto insurance costs. For example, if a student attends school 100 or more miles from home, many companies offer significantly reduced auto insurance premiums, because with less access to the car, the student’s accident risk is reduced. The lower rate does not apply to families with a teen driver still at home, however. Full-time college students who earn a B average or equivalent can even further reduce their parents’ premiums by qualifying for good student rates. To put these discounts into perspective, consider an average Illinois family with a 20-year-old son who regularly drives the family car. The family pays a semi-annual premium of about $331 for full auto insurance coverage. But if the son attends school 100 miles from home, the premium will drop to $232. If he also qualifies for the good student rating, the family pays only $179 for the same coverage. (Rates and reductions vary geographically and by company, along with factors such as age, sex, base rate and residence.) Kasbohm also urged students to etch their identification on such things as bicycles, stereos and portable radios in order to reduce the risk of theft and improve recovery changes if the property is stolen. The Crier Page4 I Special Tenent Information Much of the landlord-tenant conflict about rent and responsibility may be prevented immediately before and after a renter moves into a unit. Before moving in, students should closely examine their rental agreement, and, within the first few days of tenancy, should take Inventory of the damages to the apartment; if existing damages are not noted, money may be taken from their securlty/cleaning deposit for repairs that were actually necessary when the student moved in. Help in understanding the rental agreement and preparing the inventory can be found at the Housing Office, Commons Bldg. U203. The housing office annually helps hundreds of students to find housing, resolve disputes and learn their rights and responsibilities as tenants. A lease is the most permanent rental agreement. It fixes all terms of an agreement so that no changes can be made for a period of time. For example, the rent payment cannot be changed, or the student tenant cannot move until the end of the leasing term. In contrast, a month-to-month oral agreement can be ended by either party at a minimum length’s notice. A tenant’s notification of leaving should be written and given to the landlord at least one rent pay period in advance. There are many advantages to having a lease. The student has the rental unit for the entire term of the lease and cannot be evicted unless he or she violates the contract. Neither rent nor deposit can increase during the term of the lease. Finally any rules stated in the lease cannot be changed unless both the landlord and tenant agree. For students, however, the big disadvantage to a lease is the loss of flexibility to move before the lease ends. However, a tenant may get around this by subleasing, with the consent of the landlord. A student also has the right to move out if the landlord breaches his contract. The absence of a lease may give a student greater flexibility, but it also allows the landlord to evict, raise rent or change rules on short notice with out any justification. If the student renter decides to sign a lease, several questions should be kept in mind when examining the contract: -How long does the lease last? -How much is the rent? And are utilities included? Is the damage deposit specified and the amount stated? -WhB is responsible for repairs? -Is subleasing allowed? -Are there rules for behavior? If so, get a copy. -Does the landlord have the right of entry, and under what conditions? As mentioned previously, the baffling language of some leases can be sorted out by the housing office. This office may also help the student renter prepare written inventories of damages to the house or apartment at the time of occupancy. The tenants shouldn't just tell the landlord of the damages, but should write them down with both parties’ signature, each keeping a copy. The most important thing for a student to remember in taking inventory is “ to include damages, defects and necessary cleaning. Most landlord-tenant disputes revolve around cleaning charges. Everything in the interior should be inspected, including all furniture. The walls, ceilings, floors and carpets should all be checked for na l holes, stains, burns, chio ped paint and torn linoleum. Fixtures such as lights, sockets, plum bing, heating and cooling should be in good shape and working order. The stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer and any otner appliances should be intact and operating well. Any rodent or insect festation should also be noted, Students renting a house should also take inventory of any yard or garden tools that were included in with the house. The condition of the yard itself and garage should also be noted. Finally, an inventory report should include the number of keys a tenant is given, plus the number and condition of garbage cans.

The Crier Page 5 inTiRininmcni “ ill Blondie: Music Will Wake Up The 1980s “I think music is going to become less of a tranquilizer for the masses and become more of a message carrier like it was in the 1960s,” James Destri, keyboard man of the rock group Blondie; predicts. Blondie drummer Clement Burke compares it “to a record playing over and over. I mean it’s cyclical and the same sound is heard again and again.” Destri and Burke explained the cycles in an interview with the “Erlanger Rock Classics To Come” radio series, sponsored by Jos. Schlitz Brewing Company. “The ‘80s are the ‘60s all over again. We have a conservative regime in office again, and youth is going to wake up again,” Destri says. Destri explains this return to the ‘60s as part of a never-ending cycle. He-describes this unique evolution that he believes will take place in the next 10 years “Music is going to have a very strong influence again,” he said. “The leading artists coming out of this new wave genre are going to start making music that 13 and 14-year-old kids will live to. “Music will become a philosophy again as it did in the ‘60s.” Burke also sees a repetition in the sound. “The thing that’s happening to music now is the black influence,” he says. “The mixture of black and electronic meeting somewhere in the middle is what we’ll continue to hear for the next few years.” In fact, Destri and Burke say that Blondie’s roots are black. “I don’t think there would have been a Blondie if there wasn’t a Supremes or a Motown sound,” Destri says. “Obviously, die Blondie sound has changed, but I think that was necessary because of the imitators or emulators,” Burke adds. “There was a tremendous backlash in new wave music and, instead of people trying to be original, they’re trying to copy what is proven hit-wise.” He sees Blondie as “a true-melting pot group in that we assimilate various styles and incorporate them into the Blondie sound.” But Blondie has never been a typical rock band. The band has had an identity crisis of sorts because former Playboy model and lead vocalist Deborah Harry is generally considered to be Blondie. ★ Concert Calendar ★ Buffalo Memorial Auditorium THE GRA TEFUL DEAD Sat., Sept. 26,1981 at 7:30 PM Tickets Are $10.00 and $9.00 raiden Avenue Buffalo, NY IANHUNTER with Special Guest ANrTROUBLE Wed., Sept.30,1981 at 8:00 PM Tickets are $6.97 plus 50u Service Charge ***NOTE:No one under 18admitted!!!

September 23-24 Southern Tier Industrial Review “Would the Rolling Stones have been any less a band if they were called The Big Lips, which is Mick Jagger’s biggest trait?” Destri wonders in reply to questions about the effect of the confusion. “Everything has worked out for Blondie as we had pictured in our wildest fantasies,” Burke says. “We were prepared for what’s happened over the past five years, so we took for granted how popular Debbie would become.” “In fact,” Destri asserted, “Debbie became such a labll that we were instantly recognized.” What has happened is suecess after success and the group’s expansion into movies (“Union City Blue” and “Roadie”), end the sound track for the movie “American Gigolo.” The title song from that movie, “Call Me,” was Billboard magazine’s number one single of 1980. “ ‘American Gigolo’ was a big step for us, and came at a time when we needed it,” Burke says, “We hope to do more with movies in the future, perhaps the life story of the band.” The expanding horizons of Blondie have caused the group to become, like most groups, a tightly-run business. “Blondie exists as a corpora^ tion now, not just a rock and roll band playing purely for fun in the streets on Saturday night,” Destri says. “We’re all share holders with secretaries and the whole thing.” “I can wake up in the morning and say I’m a songwriter and keyboard player or say I’m treasurer of this corporation and ask myself which I am going be today.

After finding one they like and suited their needs, they were driving home-during the trip home-the young lady asked, “Did you see a water closet?” “No,” replied the young man. They decided to write the landlady. The ignorant landlady did not know what W.C. was and arrived at the conclusion that W.C. meant the Wesleyan Church and she answered as follows: "Dear Sir, I have the greatest pleasure to inform youj that the W.C. is nine miles from the house and could seat 320 people. This is an unfortunate situation if you are in the habit of going regularly. However, some people take their HOSTAGES... Well, it’s been four months since these fun-loving American hostages were rescued from the hands of terror by Evar, that King of Carpet Remnants. And every month since then those wild and crazy captives have been holding reunions. Their latest escapade was held in Coming for the grand opening of Evar’s newest store in Coming. Fifty of the hostages gathered at the Baron Steuben Hotel (two couldn’t make it to the celebration due to the annual retreat for !4 Polish, 3/4Spanish Americans that were held hostage by Iranian militant students for more than 32 days) for a welcoming by Coming Mayor Joseph Nasar Dumb-n-Fat. Then they were blindfolded and her- lunchjes and make a day of it, wniie others go by car and arrive just in time. “Maybe you would be interested in knowing that my daughter was married there. In fact, she met her husband there. I remember that day very well on account of the rush for seats. There were ten persons on a seat usually occupied by two and it was wonderful to watch the expressions on their faces. My father was there too. He has gone regularly since he was christened. My husband and I' don’t go as often as we used to. In fact, I haven’t gone for two weeks now. I am sure when I go I will feel greatly relieved. It really pains us not to go more often.” Sincerely, The Landlady ded down Market Street, accompanied by the mocking and cacklings of area residents, to the Coming Hilton Inn. Mock executions were held from 6 to 9 p.m., after a remembrance dinner which featured worm-infested, spoiled pork, stale and stagnant tea and moldy crusts of bread. One of the hostages was quoted as saying, “It’s great to see all of the support and humiliation that the American people show us. I just wish Cynthia Dweyer could have made it.” Cynthia Dweyer is currently being held in an El Salvadorian prison camp for nosey and “haven’t you had enough” journalists. Evar was over whelmingly pleased with the turnout. “These people are great,” he said, “I'd like to hold them all hostage at my place for awhile.” Written tn tfce ARIES: (March 21 to April 1?)

Harris’Law JUST IN A DAY The British Government’s policy of socialized medicine has recently been broadened to include a service called ’proxy fathers’. Under the government plan, any married woman who is unable to become pregnant during the first five years of her marriage may request the service of a ’proxy father’ -a government employee who attempts to solve the woman’s problem by getting her pregnant. The Smiths, a young married couple, have no children and the government man is due to arrive. Mr. Smith on leaving, says the government man will be arriving soon. Instead, however, a door-to-door photographer comes trying to sell baby pictures. Mrs. Smith: “Good morning.” Salesman: “Good morning. You don’t know me but I’ve come to...” Mrs. Smith: “Oh, you don’t have to explain. My husband told me about you.” Salesman: “Oh, good. I’ve made a speciality of babies, especially twins.” Mrs. Smith: “That’s what my husband said. Please sit down.” Salesman: “Then your husband probably told you that...” Mrs. Smith: “Oh, yes, we agree that this is the best thing to do.” Salesman: “Well, in that case, perhaps we should get right on with it.” Mrs. Smith: “Well, where do we start?” Salesman: “Just leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple in bed. Sometimes the living room floor works well.” Mrs. Smith: “Bathtub-living room floor? No wonder it hasn’t worked for us. Salesman: “Well, lady, none of us can guarantee a good one everytime, but if we try six or seven times one of them’s bound to be a honey.” Mrs. Smith: Have you had much success?” Salesman: (Opens briefcase and shows baby pictures) “Just look at these babies. They’re all jobs I’ve done before. This one took four hours.” Mrs. Smith: “Yes, it’s a lovely child.” Salesman: “But if you want to hear about a really tough assignment, look at this picture. Believe it or not, it was done on top of a bus in downtown London.” Mrs. Smith: “Oh, my God!” Salesman: “And here are the prettiest twins in town. This was really a tough one. I had to take the mother into Hyde Park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep, pushing to get a look.” Mrs. Smith: “Fdur or five deep...?” Salesman: “Yes, and for more than three hours, too. I finally got a couple of bystanders to help me out. I could’ve got in a couple more shots before it got dark, but the squirrels were beginning to nibble on my equipment so I gave up.” Mrs. Smith: “You mean, they actually chewed on your, ah, equipment...?” Salesman: “Yes, but its all in a days work. I’ve spent many long years perfecting my techniques. Now, take this babv. I shot him in narliament The Prime Minister gave me a helping hand at the right time, and the members were so impressed they gave me a standing ovation when I started to pull my equipment out.”. Mrs. Smith: “I just can’t believe it.” Salesman: “Well, madam, if you’re if you’re ready, I’ll set up my tripod so that we can get to work.” Mrs. Smith: “Tripod??’ Salesman: “Oh yes. I have to use a tripod to rest my equipment on. It’s much too heavy for me to hold in my hand while I’m trying to use it.” “Mrs. Smith....Mrs. Smith....Good-ness....Goodness, she’s fainted!” Hyouworft read these 7 signals of cancer... 1* Change in bowel or bladder habits. 8.

'/ Our Opinion Freshman Viewpoint by Chris Frissora We thought the summer between our Senior year and College would be endless. We looked forward to our “last, real summer” for months. But suddenly we Find ourselves thrown at the end of it-with fall classes straight ahead. Summer started off rapidly. Only now, long after the initiative graduation parties, when our pace between summer jobs and summer “fun” slows, do we have a chance to look where we have come and where we are going. Somehow we survived and enjoyed our first twelve years of school. Elementary games of “tag” and “red rover” changed to high school deversions. SAT’s, Open Campus, Junior Proms and Senior Weekends are now behind us. We reached and graduated S.G. Greeting Fellow Students; Welcome to CCC, if this is your First semester here at Coming you probably are still unaware of all the extra curricular activities available to you. If you are a returning student you might still not know what we have to offer you. Through our cluibs and organizations we offer students of every age the opportunity to get involved. Whether your interests lie in Skiing or Law or Technology or Culture, or just planning activities for students, we have it. All you have to do is ask. We, the Student Government, dispurse the Student Activities fee(your $35.00), when you take into consideration the fact that every student fave $35.00, it adds up. You’ll be finding an article in the Crier from one of us, the Executive Board, every week informing you of what we’re doing and what we are planning to do. _ So read the Crier, after all. its your newspaper. If you have any questions, requests or ideas, PLEASE stop in. We’re always ready to listen. Our office is in the Commons on the way to the cafeteria. /\ Thank you for your time. Always, Jim Bramble Vice-President from the top level of our high school only to Find ourselves at the bottom of another, perhaps more challenging climb. College will open a new source of freedom to us. Teachers no longer will send us to the Principal’s Office, or send “pink slips” to our parents. “It’s all up to us now!” To many it seems we are facing a new adventure. We’ll be strong, independent, and daring. Others face a more serious academic venture. Each type of experience will reveal new risks and challenges. Somewhere between grade school and college we constructed our own set of goals. As Freshmen we will face the people and the academic Fields we need to Fulfill these goals. At Coming Community College many helpful people await us. As Freshmen we confront new ideas and experiences. The future we have looked to is here and how we spend it will determine our success. isssssssssesssssssssssssssssesssz Yhe Crier Page 9 Letters to the editor are welcomed.
