Streaking: New College Epidemic
(UPI) This year’s rite of spring on college campuses, streaking a-cross campus in the nude, spread to more schools overnight and is taking on political overtones.
A student government leader at the University of Pennsylvania is calling on student streakers to join in amas s “Streak forimpeach-ment” around the White House on April Fool’s Day.
Paul Mathias, head of the“Streak for Impeachment Committee,” says he believes streaking has a place in the political arena, explaining that Lady Godiva w a s a-mong the first to use nudity for political expression.
Mathias called for widespread campus endorsement of, this i s a quote, “Our philosophy of attempting to force President Nixon out from behind the towel.”
About 30 streakers made an appearance at Penn the other night. One of them climbed a flag pole.
Coeds Joining
Coeds joined the streaking at the University of Missouri as about three dozen students g a 11 oped a-
round campus. And the coeds promise to make a shot at the world’s record tonight. They haveorgan-ized a group c a lied the “International Coed UndergroundStreaking League” to organize the run for the record.
But the University of South Carolina kept a hold on the r e c o r d by fielding 500 streakers, some of them riding motorcycles.
Lone Woman
A lone woman led 93male streakers across the West Chester State College Campus n ea r Philadelphia. The streak ended with an old-fashioned pantry raid on a women’s dorm. As panties and bras fell from windows , the housemother said,“This is the most successful dorm activity we’ve had all year.”
San Angelo State College fielded 161 male streakers. One of them was roaring by a high-rise women’s dormitory on his motorcycle when the machine stalled out. The naked man did some quick repairs and raced off into the night. The campus police chief’s only com-
ment about the streaking was, “It’s good exercise.”
A Few Nights Ago
Also in Texas, Hardin-Simmons University and nearby McMurray College sent about 20 naked males racing through the darkness. The two schools challenged Abilene Christian to join them for what they called an “ecumenical streak.”
Police Use Tear Gas
The streaking turned ugly at the University of Georgia. Police used tear gas to disperse about 2500 students who turned out to protest the arrest of one male streaker.
But campus police at East Caroline University made no move to stop them when about375 streakers, about 50 of them women, made their disrobed dash across campus, with a spotlight trained on them most of the way.
In the indoor streaking department, five naked men ran through a lecture hall in Corvallis, Oregon. The title of the lecture was “Sexuality and the Law.”

Student Gov’t. Finance Committee Slash Budgets
By Steve Fay
The Student Government Finance Committee has turned in its version of the budget for 1974-75. Because of the amount of money allotted, certain of the requests by groups and organizations were cut. A1 Paparelli therefore recommended that certain criteria serve as guidelines for the necessary cuts. These criteria were:
1.	Maximum student involvement
2.	Student participation in decision making
3.	College priorities
4.	Accounting for and the explicit rationale for spending.
There was some question as to
whether these criteria were actually followed.
One of the groups which submitted its budget for consideration was the Commons Committee. From its budget, the S.G.F.C. cut $1,000 from the request fordaytime entertainment (coffee-house). The Student Government Finance Committee figured that in this case, the Music Club could supply entertainment for coffeehouses. In addition, $500 was cut from VTN daytime programming.
The Music Guild submitted its first request for moneys from the budget and were approved ana-mount approximately $2,000 less
than requested. In this case, the cut was not itemized, but was left to the organization to decide where cuts could be made. Use of funds by the Music Guild will be watched in an effort to determine a fair share for them in future budgets.
The Two-Bit Players submitted a request, but,according toS.G.
F.C. members, the group had no representatives at the meetings to support their request. Hence, the group was approved an amount equal to their 73-74 allocation.
Under the heading of Out of Classroom Trips was a request for $600. This involved money for e-quipment rental, transportation, and food. After some debate, the a-mount was approved on the theory that the amount was fair for the number of students who would benefit.
The Athletic Budget came up for consideration then and, because of the amount of money requested, there was considerable debate. The final amount app roved equalled roughly 1/3 of the total. Debate centered primarily around the issue of student involvement in relation to the amount approved. Men’s bowling and volleyball were not funded, and a question arose over the salaried position of sports publicity man.
College Radio Station, WCEB, saw its budget request cut from $4, 559 to $2,033. Station General Manager, David Game, argued against the cut of funds for UPI and there was involved discussion over the necessity of WCEB being an emergency broadcast station. Further, WCEB’s request for tools and supplies was cut from $160 to $25 and contingency went from $300 to $100.
The Literary Guild, campus publication, requested $600 and thea-mount was judged to be fair and little enough to be approved.
For Arts and Convocations, one convocation speaker was s t ru c k from the list, a $2,000 cut, and $1, 000 was cut from money for groups, meaning one less group. The remaining cut was left to the group. This group did not list expenditures
projected or already spent.
Student Government also saw their request cut. Money for e-merging groups was cut because nothing had been spent for such so far. The request for supplies was cut from $100 to $50 according to the amount spent thus far for such by the group. Communications was cut accordingly and contingency funds were dropped from $840 to $500. This fund has apparently not been tapped so far this year. Student Government did see one increase when money was allocated to pay for an auditor, a $150 expenditure deemed worthwhile for the auditing of books.
The Crier’s budget request was cut $1,000 overall a f ter considerable debate. Again, the issue of the UPI service arose, as it did in WCEB’s budget request, and once more the UPI service lost. In addition, the Crier’s salary request was cut from $2350 to$1850, though Advisor Don Creath didnotfeel the figure was padded. It was left to the Crier to determine how such cuts could be made.
Under an Educational Experience request for $14,000 a student advisory program received no funds from a requested $2,000 nor did a $2,000 request for funds to visit four-year colleges go. It was turned down in its e n t i r e t y . One program was supported w i th a $2, 000 request approval, thatbeing the program to combat racism. Class grants were cut $1,000 and, sources believed, the emergency fund $1, 000 request, was turned down.
The Used Book Store originally requested $300, but after talks, the request was changed to $100 and received approval.
The Tech Guild made its first request for funds as a new emerging group. The argument for funds revolved around the issue of whether or not this was actually a division request. This Guild, it was finally established, primarily desired an assurance of funding for possible trips. The amount approved was less than that requested.
The Day Care program requested and received $1,000. It was
felt that the amount was reasonable for the services rendered.
Student Run Business received an approved $800 out of a $1,000 request. One S.G.F.C. member termed the funds approved “generous” in terms of the accomplishments by Student Run Business this year. The amount approved e-qualled the 73-74 allocation.
Another request came from a Biology and Geology of the Northeastern U.S. group. In defense of this request, came the observation that other groups could use the equipment to be purchased for the organization. However, the entire $3,435 request was disapproved because of lack of funds for such an undertaking should come from another source.
I.C.C. submitted an overall $20. 650 request but was approved instead $9,550. It was judged that from the amount spent by I.C.C. thus far and from its accomplishments, the lesser amount was fair. It was felt that I.C.C.’s budget request was not well-supported and that the figure seemed inflated.
Such then is the budget submitted to Student Life for final approval. The total was $94,860 after allowance for the $7,140 or 7% figure paid to the Business Office for administering to the b u d g e t. Shou Id the budget pass Student Life, the a-mounts listed in the composite table will be the amounts which the various groupg will receive.
Gasoline And Birds
In these days of decreasing gas consumption and cost-price squeezes, the service station owner declared, quoting now “You gotta build (damn) bird houses and sell windmills to make a living in this business.”
So the shelves at the Prellwitz gas station in Sacramento, California, are stacked with bird houses and carved wooden ducks. Lined against a fence outside are six-sheet metal windmills, which range from four to ten feet tall.
Athletics Violate Mandate
A check of the Student Activities records by the Crier found that the Athletics Department has not been having students cosign the budget slips as required by Student Government.
When John Polo, Acting Directorof Athletics, was reached for comment on this he said that he was not aware that there was such a mandate. However, he did say that students have been initialing the stub which he keeps. He said that students are aware of how the athletics money is spent but that their initialing of the slip was just “a rubber stamp.”
Not All Initialed
However, a check of Polo’s books show that out of 190 slips only 92 have been initialed. Those initialling the slips are Suzanne Passerallo and Woody Knowles.
Polo commented that with this many slips going out it is impossible to have student cosignatures on all the slips. He pointed out that most of the time even he doesn’t sign the slips, instead his secretary, Ruth Prentice, signs the slips twice.
Of all the Student Activities spending heads, it was found that Athletics is the only one that doesn’t have students cosigning the budget slips.
Similar Accounts
As far as the amount of slips put out, the Crier also found that Commons Committee has written a total of 137 budget slips and has a student cosignature on all of them. According to Lisa Haines, Treasurer of Commons Committee, the reason for a student cosignature is a sort of checks and balances; all spending is carefully watched by both parties signing the slips. The Crier also writes a large number of budget slips (149) and has a student cosigner on all of the budget slips.
The mandate from Student Government that all spending units must have two signatures (one of a faculty advisor and one of the student treasurer) appears on the approved budget breakdown published by the Activities Office in September.

PERSPECTIVE
Letters to the Editor
by Tom Beiswenger, Editor in Chief
Streaking Anyone?
The college campuses have come alive once again, barely. Yes folks, students have broken their lull of apathy and shed the past as well as their clothes and taken to the streets once again.
It’s nonviolent, healthy, sinful, immortal, and funny to watch. This new fad has brought happiness to a dead country, a country plagued with trouble and it’s about time someone did something to boost this nation’s morale.
As yet no one has streaked our campus, but we can only hope that it will be a matter of time until someone does.
They’re streaking all over the place, some have even dared to do it downtown. It’s even rumored that the son of our enlightened Dean of Students, Don Beck, has has tried this new sport. Now it would not be right if we let all of these people pass us by. We must get out and streak until we all have strokes.
To all young individuals, happy streaking!

What If?
Hi kids.
I saw a movie called “The Ox-Bow Incident” on television the other day. In the film there are some cattle stolen. The townsfolks go crazy, and in their drunken blind delirium they rush out and hang three innocent men. When they discover their mistake, they are, of course, sorry. The men who were hung, un-fortunatly, are in no condition to hear an apology.
It made me think, which is some thing that dosesn’t happen too often anymore.
What if Nixon’s innocent? I mean, really, what if he’s telling the truth? What if it’s just personal integrity that’s keeping him from giving away tapes that he feels are his personal property, and not his all too apparent guilt? If that’s the case then his impeachment would be a gross injustice. A hundred years from now, third grade history books would say that the American people impeached on e of the only truly honest Presidents they ever had.
Or what is Patrica Hearst is really a member of the
S.L.A.? What is the whole thing had been figured out in advance, by Commander Hearst and her allies? What if she’s a willing accomplice? In that case, all of the worry and talk and newspaper space has been wasted. And what about all those people who were given free food? Would they be asked to vomit?
Or, for that matter, what if Richard Nixon is a member of the S.L.A.? In that case, all of the free food is just a Nixonesque plot to end spiraling food costs, and thus curb inflation . Think about that.
Finally, what if streaking is a Communist plot? What if all of those naked runners are actually Red Menace spys, cleverly disguised as college kids? Then, one of these days, when every man, woman, and child in the U.S. of A. are out on their front porches watching all the kids streak by, the Ruskys will stealthily sneak up on the Pentagon and take over.
Oh well, at least with streakers, there’s no need to look for concealed weapons.

Family Dispute With a Happy Ending
(UPI) The Rodger Thompsons of Fairfield , California, had an argument in a tavern, and she fled in one car. Her husband pursued her to a muddy field and the two drivers rammed each other’s car repeatedly. Police say both vehicles are total wrecks. But the storey had a happy ending. The couple is reconciled, and no one was hurt, although the two children riding with Thompson complained that the ride was bumpy.
She Put The Top Down
(UPI) It looked like one very bad time when a truck wreck on a highway bridge stranded some 3,000 motorists in the Florida Keys at Islamorada.
The drivers were getting hot and ill-tempered...until DedeBernardo began her topless dance.
It became obvious it would take several hours to clear the wreckage from the bridge so Dede turned up the radio in a camper van., stepped out into the sun and began dancing...wearing cutoff jeans and a smile.
After that, the driver of an ice cream truck walked down the long line of cars hawking his goodies. The owners of another camper and a chauffer-driven limousine passed^>ut free drinks from their bars.
A half dozen beach parties began in the shallow waters. The driver of a bait truck handed out shrimp and mullet bait to anyone wfth a fishing rod.
Bars and convenience stores in the area did a land-office business in beer and soft drinks.
It took police seven hours to clear the wreckage of the big gas tanker truck from the two-lane bridge.
By that time, Dede Bernardo had a bad sunburn... dozens of people were sporting hangovers...several people who took advantage of the bait man had coolers full of fish...and no one seemed terribly upset by the traffic

My Wars With The Computer -Con’t.
Dear Computer,
I must hand it to you. You do play dirty. But I must say, it was my fault. Oh dear, I am confusing you. Let me explain.
You see, Dear Computer, I turned in a letter to the Crier explaining how someone tried to get me with a darkened restroom at Wetgoods and how I tied the attempt into Bill Gray. I said further, that you were likely behind Bill in the attempt .because I probably hurt your feelings with my editorial and you wanted me silenced.
Also, I had anticipated your letter of explanation for screwy schedules and other neat events occurring in the registration process. Unfortunately, in a brief burst of insanity, 1 turned that letter over to, none other than your henchman, Bill Gray, Managing Editor, exbartender, and inept assassin. I must .conclude that Bill, in an effort to make you look good and me, bad, “unintentionally” lost or misplaced the key tape, I mean letter. This action, needless to say, forces me to pursue a course which I had hoped to avoid. In the interest of secrecy, I shall not tell you what my plan of action is. I can only say instead, “You’ll be sorry.”

The Story of the Canisius College Nude Centerfold
by G. J. Ebert
Editor’s Note: (On January 25,1974 the “Griffin” published acartoon centerfold of the Canisius College President Father Demske, in the nude. Much has been said and rumored about the centerfold. Following is the true story as told by one of the individuals involved.)
In the last three weeks a kind of drama, complete with backstage maneuvering, heroic speeches, and widespread audience appea 1 has befallen the Canisius College community with as much excitement as a bomb explosion would elicit.
Teachers were distracting their classes about it, administrators were spending their whole day’s work on it, editors were pulling out their hair over it, while it seemed the whole world was looking on. All this over the January 25,1974 issue of “The Griffin.”
The centerfold story, picked up first on the afternoon of January 31 by Channel 7 “Eyewitness News,” even was a cause for distraction on the wire services. By February 3, nearly every major newspaper in the state had it in their newspaper, often on the front page.
Radio stations were airing the news that Father Demske, in his after-dinner remarks at the Di-Gamma dinner of Feb rua ry 1st, said that “we must all grin and bear it” about his depiction in the centerfold. Meanwhile, he advised the audience that “a possible cause of action”against “TheGriffin” was being considered.
Four days later, it was all over
the country, and in as far away places as Madrid, London, and Paris Match. Time magazine, as well as scores of other papers, contacted the Griffin editors for possible stories, information, legal advice, and sympathy.
All over a centerfold that the artist, Frank Smeragliluolo, Griffin Art Editor, said before it was published: “The kids will laugh over it and in a week no one will remember.”
On the night he said those words, January 23, G. J. Elbert, managing edotorof The Griffin, received a phone call in his room from Dr. Langan, the s c hool’s vice-president for student affairs. “Jerry” for he was on friendly terms with the student editor, “a student stopped by my office today and said something about a centerfold in this week’s issue of The Griffin. Know anything about it?”
Ebert proceeded to tell him that, indeed, the crazy art editor of The Griffin had produced a masterpiece. Dr. Langan said that he didn’t know anything about it, but he suggested to G. J. that he tell Griffin Editor AlphonsoDavis IIto withhold the cartoon till the Publications Board could meet to approve it. This, he advised Ebert, was fully within his power toman-date to The Griffin; infull accordance with the rules for The Griffin in the Student Handbook.
An hour later, he got a phone call back from Ebert--“Alphonso Davis, the Third, says the centerfold stays.”
The Altered End
Did you ever get the urge for a nice hot cup of lemon mint tea?
Did you ever take a really nice girl out on the town, only to have her embarrassed by a bunch of drunks shouting obscenities at each other?
Did you ever want to get together with some friends and just sit in a quiet place and talk, and then discover that all of you together didn’t have enough money for a pitcher of beer?
And what if you don’t like beer?
In that case, the Altered End is the place for you. Located on West Market street in downtown Corning, the Altered End is the only Coffee House in town. There are no alcoholic beverages, obscenities, or people under seventeen allowed.
There is a pool table. There is also a nice quiet atmosphere, conducive to friendship and conversation. There is also a beverage menu, including the aforementioned mint tea, russian coffee, hot chocolate, and real coke (quite an improvement over the watery syrup served in most places in town.)
‘The important thing,’ said Corning College Electronics Profes-Ed Herman, one of the Altered End’s volunteer workers, ‘is to give the kids in town an alternative.’ He said that he believed the reason that many college-age students frequent bars is that they have no place else to go. He also said that the Altered End was having a problem attracting people. ‘They come in if there’s something special going on, but otherwise, no.’
‘Something special’ might include a performance by a local musician on the open stage, or a pancake supper,oranopen-to-the-pu-blic, everyone invited, sing-along.

The Altered End has a history dating back to 1968. Around that time, the Corning Area Christian Students, Incorporated, began to notice the lack of a suitable place for non-drinking, college-age students to go. With this in mind, the Altered End was formed. It is governed by a six-member board, headed by Larry Carr, a Math Professor at Corning College. The coffeehouse was originally located on East Market Street, but urban renewal pushed it up the street to its present address. It was wiped out by the flood, but was rebuilt through the perseverance of its followers.
The End is financed through the donations of local churches, and interested individuals. It is also in financial trouble, due to a lack of student support.
“Manna.” a Christian-rock band from Houghton College, will be appearing March 27 and 28.
Also, there will be a pancake supper March 23, from 4:30 to 7:30.
If the Altered End sounds like what you’ve been looking for, stop in. They need your support.

So that was that, and the centerfold indeed stayed. That weekend, Art Editor FrankSmeragliuolo, Jr., went home to Jamestown and his girl friend, while Alphonso Davis II vacationed at GTJ.’shome in peaceful Co rnw a 11 - on - th e Hudson, New York.
When they returned Monday morning, the halls were buzzing with rumors, TheGriffinoffice was seething with rebellion, BagenHall was pounding with wrath, and some telephone lines were burning like hell. There was a notice on the door to The Griffin office: “There will be a Griffin meeting today at 2:30 for elections.”
Alphonso Davis II walked into The Griffin office, and one-time Sports Editor Dan Hurley, who had just been reinstated as co-editor with Eric Brady, told him that thare was going to be a new election for editor-in-chief, and that, after this afternoon, Alphonso Davis II would be out. Davis sat down at his desk, and reached into his middle drawer for The Griffin Constitution. It was gone.
Meanwhile, word from Dr. Langan: a Publications Board meeting was set up for Tuesday, February 5, to take up the matter of the violation of Student Handbook procedure.
The Griffin staff meeting came. At that meeting, Dan Hurley produced the Griffin Constitution, and it was in the hands of Faculty Moderator Paul Dowling.
It is difficult to describe a disorderly meeting in an orderly fashion, but the crux of the meeting came down to this: firstG. J. Ebert, Alphonso Davis II, and Frank Smeraguiolo were questioned as to why they chose to run the centerfold without consulting the other editors, the normal policy fora normal paper. Second, it wasn’t charged, but it was insinuated by some that Davis’ election had somehow been shady. Third, some felt the centerfold was disrespectful and distasteful act for The Griffin to commit. Fourth, why are we having this meeting?
To these charges, the editors in question somewhat confusedly answered, first, the editors,Cindy Skrzyckiand Maria Scrivani, weren’t consulted because they had been on Frank’s back lately about his previous inclinations to draw pictures of women, and he felt slighted by them. Dan Hurley and Eric Brady weren’t consulted because they weren’t consulted.
Second, Davis’election took place right after it was learned that Charles Fisher, the old editor-inch ief, wouldn’t be returning. The editors at that time voted, 3 to2, for Davis. Third, the centerfold was only meant to be taken humorously, and why is everybody frowning?
Maria Scrivani, the news editor, resigned. Cindy Skrzycki wavered, resigned “as the school reported the news correctly to the Buffalo Evening News,” then said she didn’t really want to resign after all, and came back.
That Thursday, the news broke after Channel 7 “Eyewitness News” scooped the story six days late, and televised the centerfold. They first tried to interview The Griffin editors on Thursday morning, but an alert Undergraduate Student Association student, Dennis Dick, called the man in charge of Canisius’ Chronicle and other assorted publicityitems,J. Patrick Donlon, and told him about the TV cameras.
Donlon politely told the cameramen something about a lid on the story, and telephoned a friend of his at the station--the cameramen quickly left.
They returned later in the day, however, after a dispute at the station over whether they really should cover this story resulted in many angry words, but a decision to go ahead.
That Thursday night, afterthe news broke, someone, it’s still not clear who, decided that The Griffin should be suspended. Towards noon, he approached Dr. Langan, but Dr. Langan said he didn’t know anything about it. Davis called Dr. Langan’s office toagain be told they didn’t know anything about it. Then he called Father Demske,and Father Demske said that, indeed, the paper was suspended, and that the memo came from Dr. Langan’s office that morning.
The Publications Board was to meet on Tuesday, February 5. On the Publications Board sits Griffin Advisor PaulDowling.Student Government President Jim Mc-Lane, Griffin EditorAlphonso Davis II, media representative El-wood M. Warlow (managing editor of the Buffalo Evening News), and Board Chairman J. Patrick Donlon, communications director for Canisius. G. J. Ebert and AlphonsoDavis II, held responsible for the centerfold by Dr. Langan, were to come before the board.
The board meeting began at approximately 4:30 p.m. on February
5.	Long discussions were held concerning the charges and countercharges, the constitutionality of the suspension, the purpose--and results--of the cartoon, the chain of events that led to the publication ot the cartoon... then, the time to vote.
Were the editors to be found in violation of the Student Handbook? Three voted yes; two voted no.
Should the editors beremoved from office? One voted yes; four voted no.
Should they be censured (reprimanded)? Two voted yes; three voted no.
Should they receive no penalty? Four voted yes; one voted no.
Should the board recommend to the College that the suspension be li ft e d? Four voted yes; one voted no.
The meeting adjournedat approximately 7:00 p.m., on Dean of Men Ted Wetzel’s note thatperhaps the editors should go talk to Father Demske about the cartoon now--that it might be the right thing to do.
The next day, Alphonso Davis II,
G.	J. Ebert, and Frank Smeragoli-uolo, Jr., went to visit Father Demske. He expressed his concern over the cartoon and, after the editors assured him that, truthfully, no disrespect or malice was intended, that they couldn’t believe how badly some people were taking it and that they were sorry it had been misinterpreted, and that people had misread their intentions.
The suspension was lifted.
Premature Call - Up
Two-and-a-fraction members of the Ed Grider family have been called up by the Natiohal Guard to help deal with effects of the truck strike in Illinois. Two of them are Grider and his wife, both members of a transportation Battalion based at Camp Lincoln.
The “fraction” is the Griders’ second child, due in May.
Mrs. Grider says her husband is to help patrol highways in Southern Illinois. Because of her pregnancy, she’s staying in Springfield to answer telephones and take statistics.
A cautious captain in her unit comments, “It’s almost certainly the first time in Illinois history that a pregnant women has been called to active duty.”
Weeks News In Review
UPI-Meeting with newsmen for the second time in ten days. President Nixon said this week he rejected payments of “Hush Money” and offers of executive clemency to the seven original Watergate defendants .
Nixon said he was prepared to testify to this under oath.
In effect, the president contradicted a grand jury indictment which found that a former aide,
H.	R. Haldeman, committed perjury in saying Nixon rejected the payments as “wrong.” Nixon said he told Haldeman and John Dean at a meeting last March 21st, when he learned of the cover-up, “It’s Wrong, that’s for sure.”
Nixon also said he would give the house judiciary committee all the materials he has given to the special Watergate prosecutor and the Federal Grand Jury. The committee, which is investigating impeachment proceedings against Nixon, wants even more documents.
Nixon also said he would answer written questions from the committee and met at the White House with its chairman and rankingGOP member to answer questions.
Testimony began in the corruption trial in New York of former Attorney General John Mitchell and former commerce secretary Mau-
rice Stans. Harry Sears, a former Nixon campaign chairman in New Jersey, was the government’s first witness.
In Washington, six persons, former White House Aide John Ehr-lichman, former presidential counsel Charles Colson and four of the “White House Plumbers,” were indicted by a Federal Grand Jury. They were accused of conspiracy in the 1971 burglary of the office of Daniel Ellsberg’s Psychiatrist.
President Nixon has vetoed an emergency energy bill. The Senate, on a 58-40 vote, sustained the veto.
Secretary of State Henry Kissinger returned after another peace mission in the Middle East:
Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir formed a new government, but immediately ran into trouble. She got the national Religious Party to join her labor coalition, but two members of the religious party’s “Young Guard” wing threatened to vote with the opposition.
In London, a new British Labor government led by Prime Minister Harold Wilson took office and within fortyeight hours tentatively resolved the four-week-old coal miner’s strike.
There was tragedy near Paris. A Turkish jetliner crashed into a picnic grounds, killing at least 344
persons. It was the worst ever. Investigators said the cause was probably technical or a bomb explosion. The US Embassy in Paris said at least twenty-two Americans were among the dead.
Two Arabs seized a British Airways V-C-10 with 92 passengers and ten crewmen after it took off from Beirut for London. They blew it up after ordering the passengers and crew out at Izsterdam. Everybody aboard, including the Hijackers who were arrested, escaped unha rmed.
State Senator Robert Lagomar-sino beat seven Democratic challengers in a special election for congress from California’s 13th district. It was the first Republican win in four recent special congressional elections.
In Dix Hills, New York, eight year old John Calzadilla was abducted on his way home from school. He was released in New Jersey after his father paid $50,000 ransom and five persons have been arrested in the abduction.
And as the week ended, theSym-bionese Liberation Army broke sixteen days of silence with a tape recording containing eleven minutes of the voice of their kidnap victim, Patricia Hurst. They called the food giveway her father had organized inadequate.

Winner of the Melody Maker Poll as “Best Female Singer” inGreat Britain for an unprecendented second year in a row, Maggie Bell is nothing short of a legend among music fans in England and Europe. She also has won the Sounds and the Disc international music polls, and counts among her many fans virtually the entire British rock aristocracy from Jimmy Page to Ringo Starr to Lulu.
Although her four albums as lead singer of the Scottish rock group Stone The Crows attracted critical acclaim both in Europe and in the U.S.A., Maggie may be best known in this country for her duet with Rod Stewaft on the latter’s “Every Picture Tells A Story,” track from the album of the same name, and for her portrayal of the Mother in the multi-million selling “Tommy,” album released last year, in
which she sang lead on “Tommy Can You Hear Me?” and “Smash The Mirror” (solos) and “Do You Think It’s Alright” (duet with Stevie Winwood) and “1921” (sung with Graham Nash, Roger Daltry, and Stevie Winwood).
English journalists have called her a “female Joe Cocker,” and a “Scottish Janis Joplin,” in their attempt to define the extraordinary magical energy she expresses in both ballads and hard rock performances, while Producer of her first solo album Jerry Wexler, states flatly, “I’m as excited about Maggie as when I first started working with Aretha Franklin.”
“With a voice that can change with almost every driving chord from the musicians behind her. Maggie drains you of emotions you never thought you had,” wrote Douglas Graham in the Glasgow
Daily Record, “with the brilliance of Bessie Smith, and the poignancy of Billie Holiday, Maggie is carving out a unique place for herself in the world of song.” Lisa Robinson, Editor of Hit Parader, has written that Maggie is “an amazine woman whose got a genius voice and an a-bility to rock in a way that many have forgotten about.” Chris Char-lesworth in Melody Maker, wrote of one of Maggie’s performances, “Storming round the stage with her incredible gutsy voice, Miss Bell must now be Britain’s first lady of pop.” These are merely a few of the dozens of unqualified raves Maggie has received in the last several years. As for the fans--in addition to having voted her most popular in every European music poll, they have also given her consistent standing ovations coupled with the chanting of her name.
Redford + Newman Equals “Sting”
By Tom Beiswenger
One word describes it, pheno-minal. This is the same reaction echoed by many viewers of the movie “The Sting” across the country.
The two priciples of the movie, Robert Redford and Paul Newman, turned in one of their best performances since their Academy A-ward pair-up in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” These two played the parts of two small-time gangsters, Henry Gondorf and “Hooker,” in the back alleys of
Chicago. The story centers around “Hooker” who is out to avenge the murder of his partner. But Redford and Newman together are not built for serious drama, so the whole episode becomes a very complex and comical situation.
However, the movie-makers do not allow the audience to lapse into thunderous laughter, instead they throw in little bits of humor while at the same time attempting to confuse the audience. And confuse, they did; the question “ are they serious or are they just kidding” must have run through each viewers mind many times. The plot
just thickened as Redford and Newman put together one of the finest and most intricate set-ups in the history of gangsterhood.
The confusion ended at the movies conclusion where they finally get the man they’re after, but it’s how they do it that makes the “Sting” so hilarious. Thunderous laughter does come, but not until they have thoroughly outwitted the audience. At this point it all falls together and one laughs at the whole movie in one short scene.
The movie is well done and worth seeing, especially if you don’t like comedy. It’ll surprise you.

The Grammy Award Comedy Hour

Editor’s Note: (This article expresses only the opinion of its author. It does not express the opinion of the staff or management of the Crier).
Only black people have soul. The
I don’t think that “Superstition” is the best Rhythm and Blues Song of 1974. Not by a long shot.
I also think that Jim Croce was robbed of the Best Pop Vocal. He was nominated for “Bad Bad Leroy Brown” which I think was his worst
ditionally country” singer.
Charlie Rich was awarded “Best Male Country Vocal for “Behind Closed Doors.” This is a prime example of money influencing the a-ward. The song won because it was a million seller.

more records a song sells, the better it is. All musicians who die or nearly die are naturally great.
These are three of the rules of the Gospel according to theGram-mys, as presented March third. Originally devised as a merit a-ward, the Grammy has rapidly turned into a popularity contest in which the rich, the f a mou s , the black and the dead usually win.
This year’s awards are a prime example. In my opinion, there were six appropriate awards, out of a total of forty-six.
The Record of the Ye^r was “Killing Me Softly with his Song” by Roberta Flack. This is an appropriate choice. Ms. Flack had a nice simple song, sang beautifully, orchestrated beautifully.
Stevie Wonder was given the best album award for “Innervisions;” Best Engineered Album, also for “Innervisions;” Best Pop Vocal A-ward; for “You are the Sunshine of my Life;” Best Rhythm and Blues Vocal, and Best Rhythm and Blues song, for “Superstition.”
On This Date
By the way, several significant events occurred on this date, February 1st, in 1790 the U.S. Supreme Court held its first session, meeting in the Royal Exchange Building in New YorkCity. Chief Justice John Jay presided.
And in 1861, Texas seceses from the union, while back in 1892 Mrs. William Astor gave a ball at her New York Town House, inviting 400 persons and giving rise to the social term, “The Four Hundred.”
And in 1898, The Travelers Insurance Company issued the first policy covering the driver of an automobile. Dr. Truman Martin of Buffalo, New York. The policy promised Martin protection from possible damage suits filed by owners of horses frightened by the sight and noise of his car.

effort. “I got a Name” and “Time in a Bottle,” were never nominated. Mr. Croce died in a plane crash last year, which guaranteed him a nomination. Unfortunately, the people who nominate felt the undying urge to nominate a popular song rather than a good one.
Stevie Wonder deserved an a-ward for “Sunshine.” The rest of his awards were given because he is blind, and because he was nearly killed in an automobile accident last summer. They were awards for guts, not music.
Bette Midler was voted “New Artist of the Year.” She is. I would like to see Gladys Knight to do all three voices on an Andrews Sister’s song.
Speaking of Ms. Knight, she and the Pips won Best Pop Vocal by a group for “Neither One of Us’’and Best Rhythm and Blues by a group for “Midnight Train to Georgia.”
I don’t think that three grown men waving their arms up and down and singing “woo woo” is an example of Rhythm and Blues. Ms. Knight should learn that there is more to soul than throwing in an occasional “Good Lord!”
The Dixie Hummingbirds were given an award for “Loves me like a Rock,” a song written, arranged, and recorded by Paul Simon. Paul Simon was not given an awa rd. I was relieved. Mr. Simon is much too fine a musician to be lumped with the winners of a popularity contest.
Olivia Newton-John was given an award for “Let Me Be There”, as “Best Female Country Vocal.” This was one of the few deserved a-wards. It is usually given toa“tra-
“Behind Closed Doors” was also voted “Best Country Song of the Year” but then “Tie a Yellow Ribbon” was nominated. Contending with songs like that, how could it lose.
Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coo-lege were given Best Country Vocal Duo or group; for “From the Bottle to the Bottom;’’probably because the panel felt guilty for not awarding Kristofferson Best Country Vocal for “Why Me?”
Cheech and Chong were given the award for Best Comedy Recording for “Los Cochinos!”

Women’s Basketball Corning’s Season Abruptly Ended
On February 28, theC.C.C. Basketball(Women’s)teaminvaded Elmira College’s Women’s Basketball team and won by a score of 37-17. High scorer of the game was Wendy Biggs with 15. Everyone on the team scored. On March 6, C.C.C. was invaded by Herkimer. We lost 71-42. A-gain, high scorer was Wendy Biggs, with 11. By the way, Herkimer is this year’s State Champions.
The starters for these two games were Wendy Biggs, Ann Maloney, Theresa Meehan, Debbie Bauer, and Jeannie Farmer. The sixth woman on the team was Cheryle Batley.

Willie Mays Missing This Year
(UPI) The major league baseball season is upon us, with spring training beginning, and the start of the regular season little more than a month away.
One thing definitely will be different this season. One of the greatest players to wear a uniform won’t be around-Willie Mays.
Devasting Offensive Player
In his prime, Willie was a devastating offensive player who coulc beat you with the long ball, with the crucial base hit and with his speed. But Willie was an excellent defensive player, too.
In 1954 he made what is considered perhaps the greatest catch of all time in the major leagues. The giants were then playing at the Polo grounds in New York. More than fifty-two thousand fans had jammed the park for the world series opener against the Cleveland Indians. Bob Lemon w a s on the mound for Cleveland, and Sal Maglieforthe Giants.
In the first, A1 Smith started by being hit with a pitch. Then Bobby Avila singled. Vic Wertz smacked a triple against t h e right field wall,
and the Indians had a 2-0 lead.
Giants Tied
The Giants tied the score in the third inning. But after that...from the fourth through the seventh, there were just zeros on the score-board for both teams.
In the top of the eighth, Vic Wertz came up again. He had smashed his triple to right field in the first inning, and now he was licking for his pitch again.
He got that pitch, andblastedone to center field. The ball justkept sailing, and looked like it might reach the center field bleachers. But Willie Mays was off at the crack of the bat, and just kept running. He never looked back, just trying to catch up with the ball.Suddenly, without turning his head toward the infield, Mays reached out his glove. The ball landed in it, anda tremendous roar went upat the polo grounds. Mays had made the catch of the day...of the season...perhaps of all time.
The Giants went on to win that game and sweep the series in four straight fames. And the catch by the “Say-hey Kid” certainly helped.
Rick Phytila At Worthington
C.C.C.’s heavyweight wrestler Rick Phytila went to the NJCAA National Toruney at Worthington Minnesota. He lost his first match. He was ahead with 15 seconds left, 8-6. He was taken down and tied a t the end of the match.
In overtime, Richard was pinned. Richard said “I was out conditioned in the overtime, it wouldn’t have hurt for me to have gotten myself into better shape.”
This was the second year in a row that Richard made it to the Nationals. There were only three men in Region III that placed in the top six positions in their respective weight classes.
Willie Gadson from Nassau, who beat Richard 9-1 in league wrestling, took outstanding wrestler. He was firstatl90 lbs. weight class for the second year in a row.
Richard is now considering to attend the University of Buffalo, and is undecided about his wrestling career. He holds Coach Polo in high esteem, Richard said, “Everyone on the team benefited from Coach Polo’s coaching.
Richard also said “Wrestling for two years at Corning has b e e n a valuable experience that I can use should I go on to wrestle at a four-year school.”
by Vinnie Nykiel
On Tuesday, February 26, it was learned by Coach Kenner that he and his team would be sitting home until next season. The Region 3 committee selected the following teams:
1.	N. County	22-0
2.	Niagara CC 17-8
3.	Canton	16-7
4.	Jamestown 22-1
5.	Monrow CC 16-6
6.	Mohawk Valley 19-4
7.	Broome Tech. 20-12
4
Clinton	16-2
8.	Alfred Tech	14-8
Fulton	13-6
This situation was explained by Wayne Kenner in this manner. The committee agreed to the first six teams, and then narrowed the final two spots down to five teams, four of which would be chosen. Corning, with their best mark in the school’s history, 18-8, were not selected, for the main reason, as explained by a Region 3 spokesman, that CCC dropped their final
game to a poor Cortland College JV team. Corning, sort of counting on the bid, with Woody Knowles playing with the flu and the whole CCC squad not playing up to par, dropped a three point decision. If Corning would have been selected they would have played a subregional game for the number seven or eight spot to earn the right to go to the regionals. Kenner, with an obvious understatement, said disgustedly, “We got the shaft.”
The Babe
(UPI) Hank Aaron will certainly break Babe Ruth’s homer record this spring. Homers number 714 and 715 will undoubtedly be two of the more memorable blows in major league history.
There were a lot of memorable homers in Ruth’s career, the 59th in 1921 that set one record, the 60th in 1927 that broke that record. Also the world series homer he is said to have pointed out before he hit it.
Even Ruth’s final homer was memorable. The Babe was with the Boston Braves when they traveled to Pittsburgh on May 25th, 1935, for a game a g a i h s t the Pirates. Ruth was up in the first inning and belted a homer into t h e right field seats. He w a s up next in the third inning and by this time the Pirates had gotten rid of Red Lucas, who had given up Ruth’s earlier shot. But a new Pitcherdidn’tmakeanydifference, he connected for another home run. In the fifth inning, Ruth batted again with a man on base. No homer this time. The best the Babe could do was a single that produced a run. Ruth came to bat again in the seventh. Despite his earlier efforts, the Braves were trailing, 7-
6.	But the Pirates’ lead didn’t last. The Babe connected his third homer of the game and on that tied the score. The Pittsburgh crowd gave Ruth a standing ovation not minding that he was from the visiting team. It was home run number 714 for Babe Ruth and the fans knew even the mighty Bambino didn’t have too many left, but they hoped he would bat again, but it wasn’t to be. A few days later, Babe Ruth decided his days in baseball would have to come to an end. Number 714 was the last.
S.R.A. System
The S.R.A. System has undergone two full years of field testing almost 700 classrooms a-cross the country. More than 20,000 children representinga wide range of socio-economic levels participated. Many reportedly learned more than would be expected under conventional math programs. At first grade level, children in the field tests, Giesen says, scored 172-point-seven per cent of the expected level, based on standardizes test scores.
Giesen says the S.A.R. System, which provides textbooks and supplementary materials, is not a rejection of so-called “modem math,” which focused on “understanding” of mathematical concepts but establishes some “new priorities.”
The S.R.A. system eliminates much of the formal language of “modern math” but stresses more “enjoyment” of math anda relaxed approach to instruction even utilizing humorous illustrations.
Giesen says the system makes learning easier because it is a high-interest program for both children and teachers.
Baseball: Sizing Up The Majors
Editor’s Note: (Another major league baseball season is almost here. Teams are working out in training camps in Florida, Arizona and California. Here is the first in the twenty-six part series: sizing up the majors. Today, an overall look by UPI sports editor Wally Martin).
When the major league baseball season opens in April the Oakland A’swill be going after athird straight world championship.
It’s been a long time since a team has won two straight world series titles. The New York Yankees did it in 1961 and 1962. But no team except the A’s have been able to put together back-to-back titles since.
The A’s are in training at Mesa, Arizona, without the manager who led them toapair of championships. Dick Williams has decided to sit out this season rather than work for Oakland owner Charlie Finley.
Most of the Fence-busting crew plus a pitching staff that produced three twenty game winners will be back for the athletics. Everyone is optimistic in spring training. The A’s could have trouble rightin their own Western division backyard against the Chicago White Sox, Kansas City and California.
Spring is the time too when old hands like Brooks Robinson of the Orioles tells himself he still has a-nother good season left in him. He probably does too. The Baltimore Star acts more like a rookie than a player that has been around for eighteen seasons.
This undoubtedly will be the year of Hank Aaron. The veteran Braves slugger started the 1973 season forty-one homer s shy of Babe Ruth’s all-time record 714. He starts this-his last season-just one homer shy.
The winter hot stove league heated up a bit when the Braves announced that Aaron would sit out the first three games of the season at Cincinnati. That set up a howl. Not in Atlanta, however, where the fans would welcome Aaron’s record-
busting homer in their park.
Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn got into the act, met with Atlanta Officials, but failed to make any ruling.
When the winter baseball meetings in Houston ended last December, settlements involving fifty-seven players on twenty-one teams had been made. Other deals have been made since. One needs a scorecard this spring a round training camps.
Cincinnati manager Sparky Anderson believes it’s about time the Reds proved something that he has known all along, that Cincinnati is the best team in baseball.
It’s a club where a Rookie doesn’t have a chance. Let’s face it, Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Tony Perez, Joe Morgan and others give the Reds a lot of veteran talent.
Can the amazing Mets amaze a-gain and land another world series in New York? They start the season with Cy Young winner Tom Seaver and a healthy Rusty Staub.
Walt Alston, the dean of major league managers, starts his twentyfirsi consecutive season with the dodgers.
a lot of questions will be ans -wered around training camps this spring. But, it won’t be until April when the big questions will be answered.
Shorts On Sports
Mohammed Ali now claims that he is not the greatest. The greatest now is Allah. He also says that he will quit boxing after fighting the World’s Champion, George Foreman, whether he w in s or loses.
The weather has broke,people. Get out your sweat suits and start jogging or riding your bikes.
Baseball is coming again. “You gotta Believe’’ in the New York Mets.
CCC Soccer Tourney
On Saturday, March 30, from 9 a.m. to4 p.m. the Fourth Annual Invitational Soccer Tournament will be held in the Coming Community College Gym under the sponsorship of the C.C.C. Soccer Clubs. An indoor event, the tournament already has signed Corning Alumni, C.C.C. Teams I and II, Alfred State College, Tompkins-Cortland Community Col lege, and Elmira College.
Individuals and groups in the college service area are cordially invited to enter. Practice for any group can be held Sunday mornings from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the C.C.C. Gym free of charge. Information may be obtained from the Athletics Office at the College.
Under the direction of Larry Childs, a C.C.C. student from Lindley, the Corning Soccer Clubs have been in existence since 1969, and its membership consists not only of students and alumni but also of potential future students and other interested members of the community.
Indoor soccer is becoming very popular as a sport that can move indoors after the outdoor season is ended. C.C.C. was the first two-year institution in the state to have its own indoor tournament three years a-go; now at least four other two-year schools hold tournaments between the end of January and end of April.
Team as well as individual awards will again be given to those who excel during the tournament.
