CORNING COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Sept. 12, 1969
Search for CCC campus canceled
by LEW PERDUE
The area law enforcement officers have, after a year of investigation, called off the search for what happened to the Spencer Hill campus of Corning Community College. They call the disappearance the biggest unsolved mystery of the Southern Tier. Rumors flew fast and furious about the causes of the disappearance. The college SDS chapter called it "the work of fascist pigs". The Corning police force called it “the work of the pinko, anarchist. long-haired, left-handed hippies who finally managed to completely destroy their campus."
One morning a year ago. eighteen hundred students drove, hitchhiked or walked up to the campus to find a large clearing with the well-kept lawns surrounding the holes that once contained the foundations of the instructional buildings. The areas around the campus weren’t touched. The residents of Pinewood Acres expressed relief that the catastrophe was confined to the relatively small area that was affected. They also expressed pleasure that the traffic problem would now be much better.
Their initial reaction of relief wore off that winter as many of the residents of Pinewood Acres were injured on the icy Spencer Hill Road. County officials stated that in the past the college had been responsible for snow removal on the road. Now that the college had disappeared, the county was too overburdened to get around to clearing off the road since there weren't enough people using the road to warrant the expense. The speculation as to the cause of the catastrophe continues, but the effects of the disappearance of the college is apparent.
The Disappearance was met with joy by the Coming-Painted Post school district. The district felt that the money that was used for the support of the college could then be turned over to the public schools. However, only days after the disappearance, the school district board was besieged by calls from irate, worried parents who wanted to send their children to college but lacked the money to send them to out-of-town colleges. Many tried to talk the now unemployed instructors into setting up classrooms in the vacant houses that were used for student housing before the Disappearance. Many of the instructors agreed, but shortly after the make-shift classes began, the houses were shut down by police for neglect by the landlords to pay delinquent taxes. In addition to the tax charges, many houses were shut down by the health department. Without the revenue from the resident students, the landlords were unable to meet their tax and maintenance responsibilities. After a year, almost 200 apartments and apartment houses have been closed down.
The Corning merchants felt the loss of the students.

CCC admissions
by MRS. HELEN WILLIAMS
Approximately 1,100 entering students are expected to enroll in the full-time day program this Fall.
Another 200 students who applied very late will be full time and fully matriculated in programs of their choice, but their classes will be scheduled from 3:00 P.M. into the evening hours. These students will be eligible for day schedules for the Spring 1970 term.
Acceptances for Fall 1969 have increased 18% over those for Fall 1968. Enrollment from the Corning-Painted Post Area School District has increased 18%. and from the Elmira area 23% with an increase of 13% from the service area of Steuben. Chemung. Schuyler and Tioga Counties. Of all the students going on to higher education from the two Corning-Painted Post area high schools. 58% of East High and 66% of West High are attending Corning Community College. Of the entire 1969 graduating classes in both schools, 36% are attending Corning Community College.
Of the entire graduating classes from the high schools in the Elmira area—Elmira Free Academy. Southside. Thomas A. Edison, Horseheads and Notre Dame—25% are attending Corning Community College.
The student body will be made up of 45% women and 55% men, with approximately 80 veterans of the various armed services.
As has been true in the past few years, the enrollments in transfer and career programs again are almost equal, with 52% of the total number this year in transfer programs compared with 48% in 1968 and 48% of the total this year in career programs compared with 52% in 1968.
President John McGoey
McGoey greets new frosh
To all Freshmen,
First of all I would like to welcome you to our college and extend to you my best wishes in your coming two years. Please allow these best wishes to extend further than your academic endeavors. Take into consideration your entire college career, including your social life and your future involvement in our various activities.
As your President, I invite and urge every one of you to become interested in your student government and its activities. Our meetings are open and interested students are urged to attend. All of the business we transact in these meetings is for your benefit. All the funds we use are taken from your activity fee. It is your duty to become involved and express your views in all your areas of interest.
Along with our open meetings we have an open office. The office is located in the Commons next to the Commons office. There is usually a member of student government in there in case you have any questions.
In the past we have had very little non-member student involvement. This year we hope to end that. We hope to have every committee made up of 50 per cent non-board members. This, we hope, will involve many more students.
On the fourth week of this academic year there will be elections for 10 freshman board members. I invite and urge each of you to run in this election if you feel you have something to offer the college.
Respectfully.
John M. McGoey
Student Association President
Disorder order
A policy and procedure statement outlining the steps to be taken in the event of disorders on the Corning Community College campus has been approved by a unanimous vote of the C.C.C. Board of Trustees.
The three-page document defines a disorder as any act which obstructs or disrupts teaching, research, administration, disciplinary proceedings, or other college activities, including public service functions and other authorized activities on college premises."
Anyone engaging in disorder will be subject to disciplinary action.
The document also states that anyone taking the law into his own hands (such as vigilante justice) will also be subject to disciplinary action as a disorder.
"The chief administrative officer of the college shall determine that disorder exists on the campus. It would also be his responsibility to call the Liaison Committee to action."
The liaison committee, as its name implies, would primarily serve as a liaison between the college administration and any persons involved in a disorder. It would also act as a fact-finding group and would have no authority to negotiate or make commitments.

20,000 student enrolled at CCC
It seems that the almighty institution here at Corning Community College is not quite so impersonal after all. Mrs. Linda Morrison of Van Etten, N.Y. was honored as the 20,000th registrant in the 12 year history of the Division of Continuing Education at CCC and was awarded a tuition waiver worth $105 for the seven hours of courses she is taking this fall.
Mrs. Morrison, a housewife and mother of three (Mr. Morrison is a postman in Ithaca), has already earned more than 30 hours toward her Associate of Arts Degree Upon graduation she plans to transfer to S.U.N.Y. at Cortland and continue towards a degree in Elementary Education.
Mrs. Morrison, who drives 60 miles round-trip to attend classes, was obviously elated at the award and commented that the award means a great deal to her and her family.
CCC President Robert Frederick
Corning Community College is a college committed to the philosophy of participatory democracy at the administrative, faculty, and student levels. C.C.C. is also a college which seeks to broaden the view of all its family. It is. therefore, hoped that all students will take maximum advantage of the rather unique opportunities offered by the College to share in forming its future. By this means the students should attain social, cultural, personal, and intellectual growth.
It is almost too trite to say that we live in troubled times. International and national problems have their impact on higher education including our campus. How we as an institution cope with the issues of the day depends on each of us participating in a cooperative effort to assure (1) a full voice for all, (2) freedom to express ideas without fear of intimidation, (3) a willingness to listen to and ponder views alien to our own. (4) tolerance with the pace of change which is too slow for some and too fast for others, and (5) freedom from disruption of campus activities.
C.C.C. is a home for healthy and peaceful dissent through positive and active involvement. We will protect each student's right to dissent just as each student must faithfully honor the freedom of those with whom he may disagree.
Pres, expounds CCC goals
From the editor
by LEW PERDUE
Welcome to CCC student government. Who? you say. Well you will get to know who they are pretty soon, they are the lazy slothful creatures who meet one day a week to bitch and argue over anything that they think is petty and idiotic. Is this being too hard on them? I don’t think so. Polemical, well a little, but one can hardly keep from getting polemical: hot and bothered by the casual way the members of student government fail to assume their responsibility. Why was there not a quorum at either of the student government meetings held this summer? Because people weren’t concerned enough to come, that’s why. And why, during the year, do some members of student government push their responsibilities onto a select few? Because they were lazy; because they aren’t suited for their job. They wanted the position, not the work and responsibility that goes with the position.
Now that the sophomores have forgotten last spring’s campaign promises, and you freshmen have never heard of them, I guess it is time for the sandbox government to continue their petty, selfish, useless ways again. Last year student government was about as useful as a teat on a boar hog. If you are like the rest of the freshmen classes, you will allow yourself to be lulled into complacency. Last year, there were just enough freshman candidates to fill the vacant seats on the board. There was no competition, no chance for the people to have a choice. This is not democracy. If you allow this to happen, you are no better.
This year, don’t be like the student government members who sit with their thumb crammed up their ass, do something, even if it is wrong, but do something.
Welcome to college life and hopefully an environment that will make you start to think about the world around you. If at the end of the year, you haven’t started to question your own morals, the morality of your nation and church, the morality of apathy and the morals, motives and intentions of your congressmen, local politicians and businessmen—if you haven’t begun to question then you will have received only training here, not an education.
Apathy and not thinking and questioning the established order is what allows the political war in Vietnam to continue; tolerance, apathy among citizens and greed among police and politicians is what allows La Cosa Nostra to make more profit than U.S. Steel, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company,
The Monster
General Motors, Standard Oil of New Jersey, General Electric, Ford Motor Company, IBM, Chrysler and RCA together!
This is what people get for not getting involved in their own lives. You have been conditioned from an early age to let other people live parts of your life for you. For instance, you give your congressmen too much leeway in what he does, people only get involved when the conditions get intolerable and by then it is too late (take the Vietnam war for exampe).
To survive as anything more than a vegetable, you have to become a bit more paranoid; you have to realize that the people in power don’t necessarily know what they are supposed to know: remember this, it’s not what you know that counts, it’s who you know. If you remember this, then it is not surprising at all the number of incompetent people there are in important positions.
These incompetent people in important positions are people in your student government, town, county, state and national government. These are people that you have got to learn to distrust enough to keep close watch on. You have been taught that they are responsible people— well they are supposed to be but that ain’t necessarily so. These people need to be watched closely and prodded into doing their duty. So make a start in your own backyard—watch student government and do a little prodding of your own.
Perdue is vice-president of student government.
Well after a long series of miscarriages and abortions, the committee who organizes registration have finally come up with a live birth. So far registration has been orderly, organized and infinitely less frustrating than anything the author has ever seen before. In fact one could use the word effortless (on the part of the' students) to describe it.
In the past, registration has been an uncoordinated fiasco riddled with careless human errors, but now the marks of fine machining have replaced the jury rigged systems used previously. The proper use of the computer, proper foresight, coordinated actions and the ability to learn from past mistakes have granted salvation to those of us who have had to endure the purgatory of past registrations.
Dean Krech and the people who worked with him to make the system work are due our deepest thanks for removing a painful thorn from our academic sides.

The view from here
In this first issue of the Crier I would like to welcome all incoming freshmen to Corning Community College. During the summer as most of you have been making the change from high school to college student a great deal of changes have taken place around the country.
At an expense of billions of dollars, the United States has put men on the moon and brought them safely home again while here at home there isn’t enough money available to grant loans to many college students, who, without some kind of financial aid, will therefore be unable to either begin or continue their college education. As is often the case these days, if some college student drops out of college, Uncle Sam takes the initiative and fills the ranks of his ever increasing armed forces.
This summer it seems that Congress is finally beginning to take a closer look at the Pentagon. After passing the ABM request by a scant Senate victory of 51-49, some much needed amendments were made to the military appropriations bill before its passage. The most important of these were: 1) more strict control of transportation, storage and use of chemical and biological warfare agents; 2) cuts in the Pentagon’s emergency and research funds ($25 and $46 million respectively) ; and 3) a ceiling ($2.5 billion) placed on the amount of money the Defense Department can spend to support foreign troops in countries such as Vietnam, Laos and Thailand.
President Nixon has taken a small step in the right direction with his proposed welfare reforms. There is much work to do on the issue but at least a start has been made.
Wholly Integrated Housing in Mississippi
In the aftermath of one of the most devastating hurricanes in U.S. history, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Virginia are beginning the long and costly process of rebuilding. One positive result of Hurrican Camille was the creation of the largest wholly integrated community in the history of Mississippi—or in the country for that matter when you look at that word “wholly.”
Three thousand helpless and homeless refugees, both black and white, were evacuated to Camp Shelby, near Hattiesburg. One white Mississippi woman was reported to have said, “I don’t think this is the time to pay attention to what color everyone is.” What I’d like to know is, “When is the right time to pay attention to what color everyone is?" If it has taken a disaster like Hurricane Camille to integrate a part of Mississippi, what kind of disaster will it take to integrate the rest of this nation? Maybe if there were more Camilles to go around, we could rebuild this nation with true equality and justice for all.
These are just a few of the many changes that have taken place this summer. Through the coming months there will be many, many more and. in one way or another, these changes will affect all of us. As citizens — with or without a full voice in the decisions that are made — we must be aware of what the issues are and in what way within our society. It is our obligation, whether we will be affected by the outcome of changes we like it or not, to take a part in the affairs of our school, community, state, nation and world. We cannot take full part in helping to make these decisions that will affect our lives unless we know what the issues are. We must stay informed and make our views on the issues known.

Welcome, you outsiders to the grand village of Corning: two radio stations that die before midnight, a handful of merchants who care about you (you’ll find them advertised in this issue) a great many more merchants who don't care about you, a police department that despises you, landlords (slumlords?) that gouge you, no nightspots and an infinite number of bars. Welcome indeed. Welcome? No—good luck.	L.P.

Chairman expresses view Encourages nursing career
Corning Community College will initiate a curriculum in Art Glass Engraving this fall. The program is the first and only one of its kind to be offered in the United States.
According to a survey conducted by the Corning Museum of Glass on behalf of Committee B of the International Commission on Glass, only eight institutions in Western Europe, four of which are in West Germany, offer such a curriculum.
Dr. Robert W. Frederick, Jr., College President, said the program is made possible by a $15,000 grant from the Corning Glass Works Foundation.
The majority of the grant monies will go toward the purchase of copper wheel engraving equipment, readying classrooms and a laboratory to handle the program.
Assisting the College in setting up and offering the program will be the Steuben Glass division of Corning Glass Works and the Corning Museum of Glass.
Corning Community College staff members instructing in the program will be Mr. John Runyon. Professor of Art. and Mrs. Margaret Brill, Instructor in Art History.
In addition, Mr. Paul Perrot,
by DR. WILLIAM THOMPSON
As “new" Faculty Chairman, and “old" faculty member, it is with some experience that I am able to assess the present Faculty Association at Corning Community College.
Now in its tenth year of existence. the Faculty Association reflects both change as well as a quality of constancy which is quite unique in this day and age.
The changes which have come about are due mainly to the basic trust which is evidenced in the attitude of the membership towards its committees, as well as in its willingness to share responsibility with the student body.
This past year, the policy making committees have been given
Director of the Corning Museum of Glass, and his staff will teach the art glass history course and make the Museum's collection and facilities available to students in the program.
The new curriculum will lead to an Associate in Applied Science degree and is under the direction of the Humanities Division of the College. Supervising the development of the curriculum is Dr. Robert T. Giuffrida. Chairman of the Humanities Division.
Although graduates will be ready to seek immediate employment as art glass engravers after graduation. Dr. Giuffrida noted, they are also eligible to apply for transfer to baccalaureate granting institutions inasmuch as most of their credit is transferable.
Two trailer classrooms at the College have been renovated to provide classroom and laboratory space for the program.
Copper wheel engraving equipment is being ordered from West Germany inasmuch as none is manufactured in the United States.
Fifteen students are expected for the initial class; 20 in 1970; and an even larger number are expected to enroll in subsequent
years.
Development of other curricula in art glass and glass technology are a distinct possibility in the future. Dr. Giuffrida added.
authorization to pass on important matters within their committee. apprising faculty of the decisions which have been made, and moving on the basis that the committee decision shall stand, unless a majority of the association is opposed to the policy.
The increased membership of the faculty body, as well as the need to tackle more deeply philosophical issues in faculty meetings have made this a necessary step in our growth.
The student involvement in committees has come with the realization that it is ultimately the student who is the one individual most deeply concerned with the educational process.
The "proscriptive” concept of education can not long endure, as
reflected in the various instances of campus unrest across the country. By anticipating student needs we at Corning have avoided the bitterness which can develop from any kind of confrontation.
We have not "given over" the campus to the student, but have shared the responsibility with him in the decision-making process.
With the mounting pressure that all groups must organize for self-preservation. it is interesting that the Association has continued to serve in keeping open lines of dialogue.
Those who have felt a primary obligation to their classroom endeavors. have continued to feel that their needs are being judiciously met by those faculty and administrators who have assumed the responsibility of establishing criteria for the continued benefit of the livelihood of the Association members.
I do not mean to indicate that differences of opinions do not exist on campus. However, we have always been able to cope with our own problems without involving outsiders. In this respect. I feel that Corning Community College has maintained an especial esprit de corps that is sometimes difficult to find.
It is my desire that the Faculty Association continue to be the voice of all areas of the college, neither maintaining the status quo of and for itself, nor making any hasty decisions which might jeopardize the educational program which we have striven to enrich over these past twelve years.

Assistant Professor of Nursing
If you are among the many who wish to enter a career which offers challenge, variety, and an opportunity to help make this a better world, the nursing program at Corning Community College can help you.
The Associate in Applied Science Degree Nursing Program was begun in 1962.
Since that time, we have graduated over 200 men and women who have gone on to the wide variety of fields open to Registered Nurses. The majority of these graduates have chosen bedside nursing as their goal and work in such areas as Pediatrics, Maternity. Intensive Care Units, Rehabilitation. Psychiatric Nursing, and care of the adult.
Other choices awaiting the graduate are jobs in physician's offices, school systems, nursing homes. The selections are limited only by the health needs of our country. The acute need for nurses locally and nationally guarantee employment for the graduate.
The nursing program is designed to serve both the educational and health needs of the community by producing graduates skilled in the care of children and adults.
Because of its setting in the community college, it provides a unique opportunity to men and women of wide age and experimental backgrounds.
Newer techniques of teaching and content organization are used to assist the students with individual learning problems achieve success.
Students with related past experience may. upon testing, enter the program with some advanced
standing. Those who feel they need to proceed as part-time candidates are also free to do so.
Classroom and guided clinical experience are interwoven through the two years to enable students to gain a solid background in the basics of intelligent nursing.
The current enrollment in the Nursing Program is about 140 students and completion of the new Nursing and Technology building will enable us to accept up to 100 freshmen students. The opportunities in this career are many and Corning Community College presents these opportunities to you.

Lost are the pleasures of sorrow and hate For what's left?
Women are equal and men are men Black is as colorless as white
Utopia is the wonderfulness of the mind Money so abundant to all that it overcomes greed Where food is grown to share And freedom is evenly distributed
Socialistic capitalism has lessened the reasons for war With war reckoned by thoughts Automation replaces only handicapped mental illness Peace is no longer sought but only strengthened
Where is it all at anyway?
Heavenly structures of beauty For the ruler is the people.

Furious (red) over Curious (yellow)
by LEW PERDUE
One does not watch I Am Curious (Yellow), one endures two hours of poorly-conducted, on-the-street political surveys inter-spliced with about five minutes of someone's old stag films with only the most nebulous correspondence between the two.
The only word that can be used to describe the film is failure. The film has failed to be successful in either of the goals that it has supposed to have set for itself. As a political commentary it fails to hold anyone’s attention as the brainless, but pensive protagonist of the stag films monotonously drones the same question over and over and gets the same answers over and over. It fails to make a political point. As a sex film, it leaves nothing to the imagination and one may as well be watching a film of two dogs in heat. The plot, if indeed it has one. is not apparent even under close scrutiny.
To hail this as a great break through in cinema is to crucify the name of good cinema. In addition to the obvious faults of animal sex, boring interviews and the complete lack of plot, the whole damn thing was in black and white. P.T. Barnum was right and the theatres who are charging $3.00 a head (and they get it) for the worthless flick are playing the suckers for all they are worth.
If you want to have a good time, don’t go to see it.
Angry at vendors
Here I sit, slightly angered, after having been raped by the vending machine again. So serene. it sits there, smiling sweetly, until you put your money in. and. as it usually does—nothing, or perhaps, a buzz, groan, or click and sometimes even a cup of warm water.
In other words, what a drag! Does only one company have a concession on vending machines at C.C.C.? If so. is there any way that they can be made to provide halfway decent service? If there is no concession, would it be possible to get a little competition from somewhere?
I understand that these machines are used frequently, and would therefore require service more often. I think that the vending company should also understand this, and be prepared to exert the required effort to keep them running more often. After all, they operate them.

Music program expanded
by JAMES HUDSON
Music opportunities at Corning Community College will be increased two-fold this year. In the past only two academic music courses have been offered—fundamental theory and music appreciation. In order to service the different musical aptitudes and desires of CCC students, an enriched curriculum has been formulated.
Introductory Theory is still in the curriculum but it has been revised. using programmed and traditional texts, but with more direction toward the need of the elementary education transfer student. A sequential course in elementary harmony is open to those who wish to pursue further the theory discipline.
In place of the previously offered course. Introduction to Music. a new course entitled "Introduction to Great Composers” has
been substituted. It is a semester course in music appreciation with no prerequisite for those wishing it as an elective or as a transfer liberal arts credit.
For students who have had some previous theory or experience in performing organizations, a two semester sequential course in Music History is being offered.
Chorus has always been a part of the college curriculum but it also has seen some new direction lately. In addition to the winter concert and annual trip to the Alfred Choral Festival, a spring concert presented on campus was inaugurated and well received this past year and seems assured as being a traditional spring event.
Chorus meets at noon in the College Amphitheatre Monday. Wednesday and Friday and brings members one semester credit hour.
Urban Geography course unique in N.Y. State
A new course, which is unique to community colleges in New York State and only one of perhaps two or three offered in any community college in the U.S., will begin Thursday night at Corning Community College.
The course is Geography 105. Urban Geography: “The American City and Town,” and carries 3 semester hours of credit.
The Urban Geography course will consist of a survey of the present urban problems and proposed solutions. In order to understand the present condition of our cities, towns, and suburbs, special attention will be given the growth, location factors, shape and history of cities.
The last portion of the course will deal with the Elmira and Corning metropolitan areas specifically.
The instructor for the course will be Henry H. Newlin, Assistant to the President of the College. who also teaches sections of geography in the day session and evening and summer sessions.
"Over the next few years, about 80% of all our young people will find themselves working, living and paying taxes in an urban area or suburb," Newlin pointed out.
It is therefore essential that students, as well as the general public for that matter, have some sort of an understanding of the particular problems which plague our urban and suburban areas, including Corning and Elmira, he added.
The course will meet each Thursday from 7:30 to 10:30 on campus.

Someone once said to me, "Chris, you look like a radical, why don't you act like one? You don't take any definite stands on anything. You can't stay in the middle of the road forever." In answer, my views are what I believe to be more left than right but I do feel I am not "middle of the road" but more of a conservative leftist than radical. Whether my views are considered "middle of the road" by others or not is not really the question but rather what are my views?
Let me make it clear to anyone interested what I do stand for. Politically. I do not support any one particular party. I support the person I feel is best qualified for the job, regardless of whether he or she is a democrat or a republican. In the last election I supported McCarthy and will continue to support any candidate working for peace and an end to

Food prices raised
Due to the increase in the cost of food, labor and other operating expenses, the catering service which operates the cafeteria and snack bar here at Corning Community College finds it necessary to raise the prices on various food items. In all cases this increase is in proportion to cost. It should be pointed out that this catering service is operated independently of the college itself, and that it receives no state aid. It should also be pointed out that this price raise is the first increase in three years, while the operating costs from July 1968 to July 1969 have increased 5%.
the war. Since McCarthy was not given the nomination and my second choice was murdered. I supported Nixon, the lesser of two evils. As for the previous administration. I have only contempt for Johnson and his reign.
Coming to the war, I can only say I am against it. as I would be against any type of conflict where people are forced to fight without regard for their beliefs. The draft. I'm against that also, although if I, myself were drafted. I would report. On the other hand if someone asked me to help them avoid the draft, I would do so. with a clear conscience.
In regard to the Black problem. First of all I don't think of It as a Black problem but instead as a White problem. I believe it is the white man's fault that there is a problem. I think the Black man has every reason to revolt. If I had my rights kept from me as long as the Blacks I would have revolted a long time ago and not have stopped until, either I got my rights or I was dead.
As for SDS. I am against it. Any group that has members that would call for the dismantlement of our governmental structure and that has as many seemingly communistic ideals, does not have my support. Granted there are many things wrong with the United States Government but I would rather see it amended than destroyed.
Those are the main things people have asked me my views on and now so there will be no mistake. my answers are in writing. They are my views and I stand on them and will only change them when I see something pointed out to me that’s better.
In closing, let me just refer you back to my first paragraph and the question I was asked about looking like a radical and not acting like one. As for my looks, it’s my way of saying. “I'm me. a person, an individual, not merely a production line American.”

Douglas on Life

In the minds of those who know Corning and see the town as I. there must be so many questions. Realizing that this town is basically composed of Republican, conservative people, I find myself not really putting down the bosses of Corning society because, they are as they are. Although, a few I must ask a question, "Just what is it you do?"
Mr. Mayor: I know people elected you for a reason. I know you keep getting elected each time for a reason. I've lived in Corning for sixteen years and aside from the fact that you are the only candidate. I can't see how you keep doing it. "Just what is it you do?"
To the Police Dept, who I’m sure must be good at doing whatever it is that they do. I ask in relation to the youth of this area. "Just what is it you do?" Granted you do solve crimes and you do keep killings down to a minimum: but my observations of the Corning Police Force is. that anything which might hurt a Corning student might also hurt the force, so they leave well enough alone. Fortunately there are members of the force that have compassion for the student but how long does a young badge last?
Moving on in my quest for excellence to those who are in charge of making sure apartments are liveable and have reasonable price tags I ask, "Just what is it you do?" If any of you newcomers to Corning come from the ghettos, at least living in a typical Corning apartment will be like home. You can't really blame this apartment problem on the landlords because it's their right to bow to the buck and not worry about the student, you know, survival of the fittest and all that crap.
Moving on to entertainment, “Just what is it you do?” is a question you can ask yourself. You who enjoy having a good time and indulging in spirits will have an easy time finding a place to enjoy yourselves, you have only to remember three names: "Frenick's”, "Faulisi's", and "the Wine Cellar". You are really lucky that in a town this size there are only three decent bars where students can have a good time. If any of you newcomers are gluttons for punishment, you might try some of our fugitives from Urban Renewal which line our main street or if hostility is your thing then "the Latin Club" and "The Carlton Hotel" are a must.
Let me now turn your thoughts to the college itself. A lot of you may. in your past experiences, have come in conflict with teachers, but here at Corning Community you will find it hard to do the same, our only problem is keeping the good teachers. I find it hard not to know, "Just what it is they do?"
The college has much to offer. If studying is your thing, you've got your chance; if writing is your thing, that’s what the "Crier” is here for; and if protest is what you dig. we even have SDS. At this college a lot is offered and is worth taking in mind, except the food and that like the mayor of Corning is hard to swallow.
While I'm here at this, the end with all my bitters said, let me just add a point of misjudgment. You will read a lot of things in the “Crier” this year (that is if you don’t just use it for toilet paper, because the "Crier" is softer than the school toilet paper) that you might not agree with. Well, boppers the more you disagree with a subject, the more we’ll write about it. Dig!

Club plans more
by BOB DALEY
The Arthur A. Houghton Jr. Library at Corning Community College has over 16.000 catalogued items and is used by faculty, administration and students at the College as well as local industry and citizens.
It is also one of two designated governmental depositories in this congressional district.
Not only does the library receive
 support from state taxes but many local gifts by generous citizens play an important part in its function.
Those donating to the library are honored by being made “Library Associates.” reports Dr. John H. Martin. Director of the Library and Learning Resources Center.







Resources center outlines services
Dr. John H. Martin, Director of the Library and Learning Resources Center at Corning Community College, has outlined some of the many services of the library, both to students, administration. faculty and citizenry: —maintains a file of over 1,700 colleges in the U.S.
—anyone may use the library at any time it is open. Only members of the college community and citizens that are "library associates.” however, may take any items out.
—runs the Corning Hospital Library which serves local physicians and nurses.
—has an exhibit program which offers 30 differing exhibits during the academic year.

—is currently developing a fine arts collection, through gifts, to include tapestries, paintings, etc.
Opportunities up
Corning Community College has provided a measurable increase in the opportunity afforded local students.
A 45 percent increase has been noted by the Corning City School District of its graduates continuing their education. This increase is attributed in large measure to availability of a local institution.
The past four years has seen the number of graduates entering college rise from 49 to 55 percent, with the number of graduates entering Corning Community College rising from 22 percent to over 30 percent this Fall.

In a time when funds for college operations are so scarce, it is indeed helpful, even essential, to have friends interested in the welfare of the College. Many individuals may feel that a small gift means little but I can assure them that this is not the case and that we are grateful for the consideration shown by our many friends,” he added.

To the students of Corning Community College:
This College, one of over sixty units of the State University of New York, is now starting its twelfth year. It has grown and prospered way beyond the fondest dreams of its founders.
Over 14.000 day and evening students have attended the College. For the last several years we have had to turn away hundreds of qualified applicants because of lack of space.
But more important than numbers is the reputation attained by Corning Community College as one of the finest community colleges in the country. Our graduates
 have gone on to over 200 different four-year colleges and they have done well in their chosen institution.
To those that select a two-year course that leads directly to their chosen profession, I can say that past experience has shown that area businesses want our graduates. We have not been able to supply the number they have wished.
So. for the incoming class, keep up the high standards — have a good year — one full of achievement.
Sincerely.
Frederick W. Parson.

Division
Active
Robert A. Kelley. Chairman of the Business Administration Division, reports that his division is very active with the student community at the College in several facets, aside from instructional.
During the past year, the business administration faculty aided in the founding and operation of a "Student-Run Businesses" club. The club had several successful operating functions and it is felt that such an organization will continue.
The purpose of this club was to give students an opportunity to participate in the actual conduct of a business operation. A side benefit, reports Prof. Kelley, is that there is also an opportunity for a student to earn a little money by working in the businesses.
In addition, division faculty also assisted in the operation of a commerce club and a computer club.
Five student field trips were taken during the past year as part of the instructional function of the division.
Under the direction of Frederick Cutler, Instructor of Business Administration, a cooperative work program for retailing students was set up.

a student see himself and others more clearly and to help students communicate with each other better. The course was modified slightly from the course that 250 freshmen took this summer, to include some basic techniques in leading groups.
The course was conducted in a live-in situation so that the members involved could get to know each other better. Commons director Dan Sullivan, his assistant. Jodie Brown. CCC Counselor Ann Cohn, and Bob Finlay were the trainers of the session. They led the orientation leaders in T-groups and other psychological "games” designed to break down the barriers to communication that existed between the students.
Many of the techniques used at Watson Homestead were used by the group leaders this past week.
Goals course
A course entitled "Achievement Motivation” highlights some of the new credit offerings in the evening studies program of Corning Community College this fall.
The purpose of the Achievement Motivation course is to give the student a chance to examine himself and his process of goal-making. According to those who will instruct the course, it is the first opportunity that many students will have to look at what they would like to accomplish in life.
The course, which carries three semester hours of credit, will be conducted on a pass-fail basis.
During the class sessions, games, tasks and discussions are used to help the student in identifying thought patterns and how to make a plan for gaining one's goals.

Housing goals
by SMITH MURRIN
In the forthcoming college year we are initiating a change in guidelines for student-landlord participation in the college housing situation.
Such areas as communication, image and self-interest will be emphasized. These are basic areas that experimental student-landlord committees last semester noted as being in need of revision.
In April 1969 there were formed a student housing committee and a joint student-landlord committee, operating under Mr. John White, Jr.. Coordinator of Student Housing.
As participation grew, the need was seen for active involvement by city officials and prominent citizens of the area. Therefore, there are three basic housing committees: representatives of students and landlords: representatives of faculty and administration of the College and the last formed by the College's Trustees and city officials.
The goals are synonymous in that all seek fair representation, active participation and establishment of unprecedented communication guidelines between the College and residents of Corning.
The summer meeting of all joint committees, held in late July, unanimously approved the uniform use of the student-landlord rental agreement that had been compiled from data given to the student committee by landlords. administration, city officials and students themselves.
This contract already has proven a boon to landlords and students alike.
Under the new Dean of Students, Donald J. Beck, and past Dean of Students, Robert A. Chapman, there has been established a student-oriented commission operating in fulltime capacity with a college budget that will enable goals that have been set to be secured.
A few of these areas for review and enactment upon are: liaison and coordination of all housing efforts: to secure complete data pertinent to student-landlord interest; to have a weekly newsletter in the college paper with emphasis on college students: a monthly newsletter distributed to all registered landlords and members of all committees and to initiate a grievance committee for

faculty, administration and college staff. The college had an annual budget of three million dollars, of which two million was salaries, now this three million dollars is gone along with greater than three million dollars that was spent by the students.
Hardest hit are the food, beverage, clothing and entertainment businesses. Several food stores, being accustomed to fast business, have taken heavy losses due to overstocking. Several markets have filed bankruptcy and most of the others have reported greatly reduced profits. Clothing retailers are particularly hard hit and owners of several stores fear that they may have to file for bankruptcy in the near future.
Many industrial workers left to find better jobs where they would have the chance of educational advancement. Many went to Elmira and Ithaca where they could work for companies that were near colleges where they can attend classes. Merchants were moving to greener pastures. The loss of over six million dollars in revenue was prompting them to leave. The college had been an attraction to many people to locate in the area: now people were moving out.
The loss of the money and the resulting loss of the merchants caused a curtailment of services and selection of goods that forced people to drive to Elmira to have many services performed. The inconveniences were felt in very walk of life.
The merchants had their second thoughts, the school board members had their second thoughts, the landlords residents and high school students had their second thoughts, but it was too late. The college had died and now parts of the town must die too.

Disorder order
Continued from page one
The committee will also be expected to meet, at its discretion, to anticipate and prevent problems on campus.
If there is time, the chief administrative officer should make his choice of action only after receiving the recommendations of the Liaison Committee, but if time does not permit, he. the administrative officer, must act according to his best judgment.
Even if the administrator must act without first consulting the Liaison Committee, he should keep the Committee informed of all decisions.
The Committee should be brought into action as soon as possible and should be used as an advisory board throughout the duration of the disorder.
Unless there is immediate danger to life or property, the Liaison Committee should be used as a first step toward the restoration of order. Their first act would be to request two representatives of the disruptive group, to be chosen by the group, to meet with the Committee.
Negotiations can proceed for any length of time. But, if the point of disruption is actual, not potential, and negotiations are not productive, three possible actions might be taken: 1) Threaten suspension from the college if the disorder is not terminated within a specified, reasonable period of time; 2) Threaten the issuance of a court injunction if the disorder is not terminated within a specified, reasonable period of time; and 3) Call for direct aid from outside authorities.
In the case that participants of the disorder are visitors to the campus, invited or not. they will be asked to leave the campus immediately. If they refuse to leave and the disorder continues, direct aid from outside authorities will be sought.

Dean Beck Raps
by DEAN DONALD J. BECK Dean of Students
Individual interpretations of what education should involve will be as numerous as the number of persons who give thought to the question. As we initiate another round of educational experiences, I would like to share with each of you some of my personal feelings and beliefs that have particular current relevance to me as I view the potential contribution that Corning Community College can make toward the development of its students. My comments will be directed toward a few educational precepts that I believe are “core” or essential experiences that should be at the heart of our attempts to educate.
I shall begin with the precept that education is a human enterprise. As such, we cannot ignore any aspect of the individual's development, including his perceptions of himself, his dreams and ideals, and his continual human struggle with the meaning of each experience and bit of knowledge as it relates to his own life plan. There must be a supporting environment within which the individual may grapple with the relationship between the acquisition of skills and knowledge and his explorations toward learning to live.
Education, if it is to be learner-centered, must provide experiences and opportunities for individuals to learn to live. This implies both the recognition of a multitude of skills, knowledge and attitudes worth learning, and also that the individual must be supported in his self-directed growth.
To be personally meaningful in terms of learning to live, education must be involved in individual value development. The basic concern here is whether a particular behavior contributes or detracts from one's self-direction. This is not to deny the College's responsibility for identifying and interpreting some of society’s norms and providing some of the information upon which the criterion for judging the worth of behavior can be evaluated by the individual.
In order for education based on these precepts to offer growth to the individual, there must be a type of partnership between each individual student and the College. The College should provide a competent professional staff, adequate facilities, and initiate a variety of growth producing experiences for the individual learner. but the student must also be
an involved, active participant in directing his own learning. The
risk to the student who does not accept the partnership obligation is either to allow the College to assume a larger proportion of the direction in the form of teaching at the expense of individual learning or for the student to "cop-out" via an un-involvement and avoidance of the issues involved in selfdirected growth.
Get personally involved with issues and values. How else will you know what you really believe and how you will likely behave if not pushed to provide support for your stand. Differing values cannot always be reconciled, but they should be confronted. Hope is for at least better understanding; modification of values may occur if within an individual's overall value system.
Develop both your identified potential strengths. Select from a variety of experiences available those which develop and also capitalize on your strengths and interests. Attaining some balance in personal skills and competencies as well as overcoming certain deficiencies necessary to fulfill certain self-directed objectives may become more important at times, but at each opportunity, push your strengths.
Keep an open, exploring mind as each potential growth-producing experience is undertaken. No single course, activity or experience has exclusive rights for providing individual personal growth.
Work out an individual plan for integrating course content and skills with your personal plan for learning to live. Involvement with formal and informal activities and organizations, discussion with faculty, other students, counselors and “others” we can relate with provide some ways to facilitate this integration. Both one-to-one and group relationships may be appropriate along the way.
Develop awareness of your feelings as well as what you know about something, especially as these feelings are related to your behavior. The potential for selfdirected growth increases with a deeper and clearer sensitivity you have for your own feelings and how they affect how you behave.
I am personally excited as I anticipate the opportunity to become involved in the establishment of an effective partnership between the College and each student we are privileged to have with us at Corning. Let us nudge each other as necessary to fulfill the partnership.

Politics in America
As you have assumed, this edition of the CRIER is intended primarily for the incoming students of C.C.C. Unlike your experiences of the past, in high school or at home, you are going to confront and face many new and complex problems during your college careers. I for one will attempt, through my articles here in our college newspaper, not to convince you that my opinions are correct and final, but will attempt to stimulate your modes of thought and urge you to draw individual opinions for the purpose of expression. The student of today must look forth and be able to see and understand the history and future of the American campaign of propaganda.
In many ways our generation is fortunate. Never before has any group of individuals, any generation been as well informed, so deeply interested in life nor more emotionally concerned about the future. However, in the growth of this attitude there is one factor of overwhelming importance: the widespread, almost universal American belief that we are being played for a sucker. Most certainly, no nation likes being “played for a sucker”; no nation likes to think that it has been the victim of a gang of international conspirators. Yet it has happened and you and I as Americans are today confronted with problems not merely of a domestic and moral nature but also in such prominent areas as international and moral crises. Yes. the days of the naive student are gone. Our mere survival and psychological stability require incessant and undying research to find some answers for this world.
Sophisticated Cynics
Those who say "I'd die for dear old Corning” used to get an easy laugh but have been replaced by the cynical student whose unwillingness to believe in or act for any cause is usually taken as proof of sophistication by these cynics. In many cases, the old are afraid to profess and seek while we the young are too shy to admit any generous sentiments at all. As our American student generation those of which pride themselves on standing clear-eyed and cold on a mountain top from which they look down upon the individual and groups deeply concerned with the future and its problems, we see the bandwagon possessing little if any interests of a democratic nature.
Young people make very poor cynics, very poor realists and we the American young are no exception.
Notwithstanding, the young as well as elder Americans, used to the idea of immunity, skeptical as to the risks for the U.S. in the balance of power and not totally informed in many cases as to the issues at all. are subject to that influence of bandwagon buccaneers for which a useless and doomfilled role is assumed.
American Idealist
It is not merely the power issue nor even the issue of national dignity but concerns the individual and not the group towards our problems. I have often been labeled an idealist but as Woodrow Wilson said, "Some times people call me an idealist. Well, that's the way I know I am an American. America is the only idealist nation in the world.” Unlike this truth of the past, America is quickly finding out we cannot afford this altruistic idealism, for wars, poverty, discrimination and general human disenchantment continue. Yet why are some of these things happenings?
Why
Ten percent of our nation is starving, we are fighting a seemingly senseless war, all of us fear nuclear attack, we are calling our ideals of the past into serious question and yes we are even exploring unknown frontiers. Many of us however if we are fortunate enough to be of moderate income families and have been closed out from the problems we shall now have to face, may ask why and are there answers to our dilemma. Ask a poor Negro, a soldier, a Czech, student or even your parents . . . why! You may be surprised or even shocked at their answers. They concern discrimination, lack of education, needed congressional appropriations, communism, aid to the oppressed, the new morality, antiquated societies, the establishment, even the moon and its wonders.
Think of some of these things but be careful of your conclusions for they may be painful if you survey the situations honestly. You may even find you are guilty of one of these atrocities.
Should We
Should we discontinue our efforts in Vietnam, should the poor be educated and found employment, should Congress appropriate adequate funds for the oppressed or for defense, can America continue its shaded moral attitudes, is society in need of restructuring, are you a member of the establishment or anti-establishment ... if so why, would you like to fight in a war or explore space? All are very complex questions which concern us but one prerequisite must be present when making our decisions.
Are we Americans who believe in its principles and standards and can we reorganize the fallacies in our system if any? Remember this is America and right or wrong you and I are entitled to our respective opinions.
