Ban ignites controversy
By Kirsten Hagar
The new smoking policy, in effect for its fourth week, has caused some problem for students, faculty and staff members. It has also affected the appearance of the campus .
Students seem to feel that when the policy was created, more student input should have been allowed. They also feel that the new policy presents some logistic problems. Since students only have	ten minutes
between	classes,
smokers have to rush over to the Commons, go downstairs to Spenser Pub, and still be on time to their next class.	A student
commented, "It isn't always convenient to go to the commons just for a cigarette. There should be a designated smoking area in each building."
Students seem to feel that the designated smoking areas are impractical and that upstairs in the Commons the area is not large enough to accomodate the smoking population and so, they smoke outside.	The	first
signs of cigarette butts appear along the walkways, on the edge of the grass, and under the trees.	Moving
closer to the Classroom Building, the cigarette butts multiply and form a clutter in front of the entrance. "Smoking policy is too rigid. The grounds of the campus are beautiful and are properly taken care of. I personally don't want to put my cigarettes out on the ground," said Marlene Poch, CCC student. Cigarette debris is also a problem in front of the Library, the Commons and the Nursing Building.
There have also been some positive results with the new policy.
It has been helpful to the nonsmoking population and for smokers trying to cut back or quit. In the past, when	smoking	was
permitted in buildings, walking down	the
hallways could be hazardous. "People can get burned and it ruins your clothes,"	said
Scott, a CCC student.
However, there are other students who believe that smoking is a freedom of choice and that the decision to smoke should be their own. A student who stands behind	this
belief says, "I'm a nonsmoker, but	if I
wanted a cigarette that's my choice.

Parking violation fees may be Increased on CCC campus
BY Michelle Yusko
Parking illegally in a* handicapped	parking
space will no longer be a minor offense if a recently submitted proposal to change the fines is approved.
The proposal, submitted by Lt. Robert Reep of Public Safety, would raise the current ticket fee from $10 to $25.
Public Safety recommends the change in order to protect the rights of handicapped people. In addition, they feel that Corning Community	College
should have laws that are in accordance with New York State's laws.
The proposal, which was submitted to Jack Kelley, Dean of Students, is currently under review by the administration. If approved, it will then be introduced before the Board of Trustees. If passed at that level, the recommendation will be passed onto Albany for state approval. The proposed fee increase relate to municipal laws and are therefore under state jurisdiction.

State laws also call for a fine of $50 for a second offense comit-ted within two years. This section of the proposal is under question because the fee was considered too substantial.
It is uncertain when or if the proposal will be put into action. "It will be considered in the future," said Dean Kelley.

It is customary at CCC to park within the

CCC loses college nurse/advocate
By Sarah Curtis
Recently Corning Community College students and faculty said goodbye	to	Stephanie
McEnroe, college nurse.
Stephanie was, however, much more than just the lady waiting in the health office for someone to become ill. She took an active part in student education and was always available to students to	help solve
the problems they encountered with college life as well as their health care.
She helped	students
with everything from filing out	insurance
forms to taking pregnancy tests. She considered herself a sort of "surrogate mother" to students	she en-
countered. Stephanie believed that students are usually capable of solving their own problems, but sometimes need a little non-judgmental guidance to help them.
While at CCC, she helped to organize many health-related programs on campus. She worked with Jan Gleason and Rick Thorne to produce a Risk Assessment Profile (RAP) computer program that students could use to calculate
their own risks concerning	substance
abuse. They also formed a drug information guide computer program to give students information about the effects of both legal and illegal drugs.
Stephanie and Anita Ogden worked together to form an AIDS curriculum for CCC. She was also instrumental in bringing experts in a variety of fields to CCC as speakers.

"Corning Community College is comfortable--like an old shoe," she said in a recent interview. Although she is looking forward to her new position as the Executive Director of the Steuben Council on Alcoholism, she hopes to remain a part of the college "family."
In discussing the selection process in finding a replacement for her, she hoped the college would find someone with equal "mothering talents." "Any nurse is going to know the symptoms of appendicitis or strep throat, but he or she doesn't know the problems of students," she said. She encouraged students to help her replacement by letting the new person know what their needs are.
"Stephanie was one of the best college nurses I have ever known," said Jan Gleason, Professor of Health Education. "It was a pleasure to work with her," she continued.
The faculty, staff, and students of CCC wish Stephanie McEnroe the best of luck in the future.
Take the short walk O n November 8th
By Beverly Petix
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said it best. "The most important step a person can take is that short walk to the ballot box.
On November 8,	1988
millions of Americans will take that short walk and cast their ballot for the candidate of their choice in this year's presidential election.
If the 1984 election is any indication, perhaps only one-half of all eligible	New Yorkers
will vote. In that election, only 52 percent of the New York population participated in the voting process.
While 14	million New
Yorkers are eligible to vote, only 7.9 million people are registered. If people are not registered,	they cannot
participate in the very system that gives them the freedom to choose who governs them.
October 11 is the last day for registration by mail. The last day for registration in person is October 15. For those persons who vote by absentee ballot, November 1 is the last day to submit the ballot applications by mail.

From the desk of the editor....
Last week the Crier conducted a random poll of 200 students in the Commons building, asking them, "Should condoms be available on campus?" One hundred fifty students responded in favor of condoms being available on campus, 36 students opposed condoms on campus, and 14 students were undecided.
It appears that the majority of students agree that in this era of AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), condoms should be available on the campus of Corning Community College. The Crier agrees with them.
While some people may feel that having condoms on campus will promote sex, the spread of AIDS and STDs warrants prevention and protection.	It	is
naive to assume that education alone will prevent pregnancy and disease. Sex, particularly among many young adults, is not always an	intellectual
process.
If the college administration agrees to make condoms available
on campus, they will join the ranks of other concerned institutions who have already made the decision to protect their students. Classroom	instructions,
Brown Bags, and lectures are not enough.
Condoms should be available in both male and female bathrooms. We do not, of course, expect the college to provide them free of cost. Companies exist which will install and maintain the machines at no cost to the college.	In	addition,
depending on the price charged, the college could even realize a 25% return on each condom sold.
If the chooses condoms campus,
administration not to make available on we will not
accuse them of a lack of caring about students	well-being.
There are too many good people and good programs at CCC for us to believe that.
We may, however, accuse them of being intimidated by those people who value propriety over disease prevention.
The Dean Speaks
By Gunars Reimanis, Ph.D
I am sincerely interested in seeing that all students at Corning Community College receive the best value in education.
Many of you have definite ideas	regarding
your future jobs, careers, or further education. I have a notion, though, that too often your thoughts focus only on meeting short term requirements for	a	job or a
transfer college at the expense	of	education
requirements for a good and satisfying life.
I strongly believe that quality	of	life im-
proves proportionately to the knowledge and understanding that we have of the world in which we live. That world includes our neighbors and our flora and fauna; we all realize that.
A very important and much larger part, however, of which we are not as aware, includes what happens beyond our door-step	in the
Southern Tier, beyond the State lines, across our nation, in Europe, Asia, Africa. What
Gunars Reimanis Ph.d.
happens there influences our lives more than most of us realize.
How much do we understand about the belief systems and values that guide people in other lands? What motivates their actions? What makes them happy, sad, or angry? Understanding other cultures is the most needed and least developed natural resource in the United States.
I hope you will not neglect this chance, while you are a student, to include in your studies, material that will broaden your understanding of the world beyond your door-step.______________________

Rape prevention information available
The New York State Office of Crime Prevention has published a brochure to alert women on the ways of avoiding rape encounters. Entitled "Rape Prevention," the brochure has some valuable tips for women on how to avoid potentially	threatening
situations, and what to do if you are raped.
The guide also debunks some of the most common, but erroneous ideas people often have about rape. Contrary to what some people may believe, the rape victim does not ask for it; nor do women enjoy being raped; nor can all women prevent rape; and rape happens to all types of women.
The Office of Crime Prevention	suggests
that women living alone use their initials rather than first name in the phone book, and never let a caller know you are home alone.
The guide also suggests ways in which women can avoid "date rape." Use precautions in dating someone you do not know well.	Chose public
places or places where there will be other people for a first date .
The "Rape Prevention" guide is available by calling the Office of Crime Prevention at 800-342-4202.

PROFILE: Anita Ogden
By AmeenaNalim
“I’ve done most things at least once.
99
As I sat in Anita Ogden's office my eyes fell upon a verse pinned onto the wall. It said,	"I can never
quite	catch up--with
the day before yesterday.	This describes
her very busy life. In addition to teaching Nursing 205 and 206, Anita has many responsibilities on campus.
She joined Corning Community College in 1973 and has held her present position as Chairperson	of the Nursing
Department/Health/Physical	Education/and
Recreation, since 1978. At last May's commencement exercises, Anita was recognized for her 15 years of service to the college.
Anita can be seen bustling around on the third floor of the Nursing building. If someone stops to speak to her, one cannot fail to see the twinkle in her eyes. She is an extremely	interesting
person to talk to.
Anita attended New York Medical College and taught at the Flower Fifth Avenue Hospital in New York City. She earned her Bachelors degree in Education from Columbia University, her Masters degree in Nursing from SUNY Buffalo, and her Ph.D. from Cornell.
A former faculty member of Hartwick College, she is a current faculty member of Alfred University where she is involved in nursing research .
Her professional experiences and accomplishments are numerous. At Hartwick College she has taught extensively, including such courses as:	Ad-
vanced Medical/Surgical Nursing, Death and Dying, Nursing Leadership, Maternity Nursing as well as others.
At CCC she is responsible for developing the nursing programs and is on	the	Honors,
Planning, and Sabbatical Committees.
The associations she is involved in off campus are many and varied. The	American	Associa-
tion of University Professors,	The	American
Heart Association, and the Cancer Society represent	just	a small
faction of them.
Anita is also actively involved	in the Inter-
national Bicycle Touring	Society.	Bicycle
touring	is	something
she enjoys immensely. She is also a qualified pilot. She laughed as she said, "I've done most	things,	at least
once."
I asked her what has kept her at CCC for so many years and she confessed with a twinkle in her eyes that in addition to enjoying her work on campus she wanted to stay in Corning with her husband. "He works in Corning so I am here too," she said.
Anita gets much reward from her work. She likes to see the many awkward freshman students	turn	into
capable,	competent
nurses as they later graduate from CCC. "They change so much in the years at CCC; I am proud of them," she said happily.
She also has a word of advice for new students.	"Students
should realize that to be successful in the nursing program they should get organized right from the start and make good use of all the facilities available to them in college," she advised. "If they do that, I don't see why they should fail," she continued.
Anita is also an avid reader,	preferring
mystery stories. "I can lose myself in the story easily," she said.
She proudly claimed that the nursing faculty at CCC is excellent. "The teachers are not only very experienced teachers, but they are also experienced practitioners," she said.
While interviewing Dr. Ogden I noticed a picture of a beautiful cat on the wall of her office. She admitted to having two cats which she dotes on. "I love cats," she said. One of her cats is 14 years old and the other is a young 11 years of age.
Anita Ogden is certainly an asset to Corning	Community
College. Not only is she an outstanding instructor, but she is an excellent role model for nursing students. She is a woman who has successfully balanced the stressful academic world with the excitement of	nursing

PROFILE: Jason Smith
By Beverly Petix
“It is hard to be apathetic when you are involved in meaningful things.99
Jason Smith is every parent's dream, and every student's nightmare .
At the age of 18, Jason has accomplished more than many people twice his age. He is president of CCC's Student Government, and is an honor student pursuing dual degrees in Business Administration and Mass Communications.
In 1987 he graduated from West High School with honors and was awarded a Regents Scholarship , an Empire State Scholarship of Excellence, an Ingersoll-Rand Merit Scholarship, and was a National Merit Scholarship Finalist.
On May 3, 1988 Corning voters elected him the youngest school board member in its history. The theme of his successful	campaign
stressed the need for student input on the Corninq School Board.
It would be very easy to despise Jason Smith except for the fact that in addition to all his other qualities, he is extremely likable. Perhaps it is because he is always willing to earnestly listen to people--from the parents concerned about
their children's education, to students worried about problems in college.
"I enjoy doing things were I can affect change, or help influ-
ence change, and help others to make a difference in something," he said recently. "If I can change something to make it better for people, then I find that satisfying. It's hardly a selfless act because I derive pleasure from it," he said.
As president of CCC's Student Government, he is attempting to guide the organization away from its former image of loftiness and make it more accessible and meaningful to students. "Instead of Student Government	existing
merely to antagonize clubs into paying money for not doing their minutes, we want to actually do something constructive for student life on this campus," he said.
Smith is quick to point out that Corning Community College is not a typical college, but has its own particular assets. Since this is a commuter college, many students still live at home, people often think of CCC as a continuation of high school. It is not a continuation, but a new type of experience.
"We have a lot to offer here through clubs, activities, and classrooms. It's easy to stay with your same friends from high school, but if you don't branch out and expand your social network, you will miss out on a lot of positive experiences," he said.
Student apathy is something that concerns this	young	man.
"People often blame society for the apathy of my generation, but society is a kind of blameless thing," he said. "I don't know where the apathy comes from, but it does exist," he added.
Smith recommends that all students, regardless of age or background, become involved in some group or project that interests them. "It is hard to be apathetic when you are involved in meaningful things," he said.
He does not regard college as a place to come and simply get good grades. "College offers me a fusion between traditional academic experiences and actual real world ex- -periences," he said.
This perception of college is what gives him the ability to balance so many activities in life. To Smith, all things are interrelated.
"I get just as much from running a Student Government meeting as I do sitting in a calculus class. They are different types of education, but you need them both," he said.
Smith has always been involved in a multitude of projects. In seventh grade he won $300 in a video game contest. He had already spent his paper route money on stereo equipment, and decided that as a seventh grader he didn't need any more material objects. So he decided to invest his money in the stock market.
His interest in politics began through his involvement with a shortwave radio. In fourth grade he tuned into Radio Moscow, Radio Australia, among others. "I heard news and	international
events presented from the country of origin, often broadcasted in propagandized English," he said.
"I can't picture myself not wanting to be in politics 10 years from now," he admitted. "Perhaps I'll be working for a corporation in a management position, or running for a political office in the future," he said.
Jason Smith is a young man with a big future ahead of him. He is ambitious and dedicated, unpretentious and quick-witted, intelligent and incisive. He is every parent's dream, and every student's inspiration.

Egghead image out
By Timothy Lungstrom
This fall the Computer Club will be sporting a new image. In the past the club has had the image of "egg heads.” That was not completely true then and definitely it's not true now. We are a campus wide club and	welcome members
from all program structures. Currently, most of the programs on campus	will deal with,
sometime in its schedule,	computers. Why
then should people think the club is only for computer jocks? The Computer Club is looking towards the whole	campus for
student support and fellowship.
We would like to become the gather place for those who want the support of their fellow students with the computer (and noncomputer) classes. We now have members who have taken courses in word processing,	accounting,
nursing,	and lab
sciences besides most of	the	computer
electives. Computers are everywhere and we want to help all those who will struggle with a computer.
Yet we are not just a gathering place, we are an active club. During the next year, we plan on	having	guest
speakers to enlighten us on all aspects of of computers in the real world such as: how does this thing work, our new campus computer system, word processing statistics on the computer, CADCAM, and many other topics.
We also have activities planned. In the past we have gone to Park	Station,	Letch-
worth Park, Hershey Park for single day events. But for our yearly trip in April, we have gone to . Toronto,	Washington
D.C.,	New York	City,
and Florida.
Ithaca trip slated for CCC Bio students
By Ameena Nalim
A trip to the Cornell Plantations, Sapsucker Woods, and the Laboratory of Ornithology has been organized by the CCC Biology Department.
Sapsucker Woods, a 150 acre wildlife sanctuary located	three miles
away from Cornell University, is home to
Canadian
geese,
wood
ducks, blue herons, and other wildlife.
Cornell Plantations, a biologist's haven, is a 2,800 acre woodland with trails, streams, and gorges.	Bird
lovers will be fascinated by the Laboratory of Ornithology.
Professors Tom McGrath and John Brennan invite all biology students and other interested students to join them on Saturday, September 24. The trip is free. Two buses will leave Coming's McDonald Restaurant at 9:00 a.m. and also pick up students from Dunkin Donuts in Horseheads.
Bring your lunch or buy it in Ithaca. Reservations are on a first come first serve basis.
Rosenbloom announces W P courses
By Diane Heiler
Lester	Rosenbloom,
chairperson	of The
Business	Department
announces a new set of courses being offered this fall.	They are
five week, one hour modules• that together can be considered a three credit hour course. They include:
WP 106 This course involves keyboarding for those who don't type well or have never typed before. It is designed to make the student familiar with the keyboard and build up the amount of typed words per minute. The sesions begin October
3.
WP 107 This course involves word processing which teaches the student to manipulate words for their own specific use._________The
sessions begin October 3 and November 14.
HE los. This course
works with grammar and composition of words. It is designed to help the student organize thoughts	and	write
effectively.	The
sessions begin November 14.
These courses are designed to provide the student with the best of both worlds. WP 106 and WP 107 will be taught by business teachers	while	WP108
will be taught by Lars Mazzola of the English Department. An added plus from enrollment in these courses is that research	shows	that
students who hand in typed papers usually receive higher grades than if they were hand written.	 __
CCC Day Care Center has openings
The Corning Community College Day Care Center still has several openings for the fall '88 semester.	Space	is
available for children between the ages of 27 months and six years.

Conference breaks anonymity barrier

Enrollments down	REACH program
at U.S. colleges	Stresses awareness
By Beverly Petix
The first semester of college may be difficult for anyone, but for students who were leaders in their high schools, the experience can be disheartening. The high visibility and confidence of high school is often washed away in the anonymity of being a college freshman.
It takes time as a college freshman to begin to develop the leadership skills used in higher education, and even more time to learn who the movers and shakers are on campus. But Corning Community College has found a unique method to help students make the transition from high school leaders to freshman college leaders.
In August, the College brought together 17 area high school honor graduates and 41 CCC students already involved in leadership roles on campus. They met for the first time in the pastoral setting of Aurora, New York to attend a leadership conference.
Unlike many programs which involve lengthy lectures on leadership skills and how to attain them, CCC's program contained no lectures at all. Instead, according to Nancy Andrews, Director of
Campus Programs, "we started with the premise that the new students already had leadership ability."
Through a series of simulation exercises, the students worked on group problem solving, moving from competition to collaboration. They evaluated their various leadership styles, analyzed behaviors involved in establishing trust in relationships, and learned how to communicate more effectively with diverse groups of people.
What they did not observe was the networking that was taking place between the recent high school graduates and the established students.
CCC's leadership program had effectively broken the anonymity barrier between the two student groups. Incoming freshman who came to the program as strangers, sat together with student leaders of 17 clubs and organizations and participated on equal footing.
Michelle Yusko, an honor student at Corning East High School summed it up the best. "I'm much more comfortable with the upper classmen now. I discovered that we all share the same vision."
According to a report issued by the New York State Education Department, there has been an increase in part-time students at the college level.
The increase of more than 3,400 part-time students will help offset a decline in fulltime enrollment. Most of these new students will be attending public colleges.
Projecting statistical trends for a five-year period, the report estimates that college enrollment decreased by less than 1,000 students this year.
Overall, total college enrollment dropped from 984,273 in 1984-85 to
968,500	in 1988-89, reflecting about two percent decrease.
The trend could be continuing in the next few years due to a decline in graduating high school students.

The REACH program, one of Corning Community College's newest student organizations, is attempting to educate students and faculty to the needs of students with disabilities.
REACH is an acronym for Recognition, Education, and Awareness Concerning	Handicaps. The
group wants people to recognize the fact that not	all handicapping
conditions are visible. In addition to physical handicaps, many people have learning disabilities which encumber their academic experiences.
REACH also wants to make	nonhandicapped
students and faculty members aware of ways to relate and help disabled students.
For	more information
about the REACH program, contact Ron Hofsess in the Counseling Center.

Spotlight on Music
By Scott Tubbs
Rolling Stone Magazine recently published a list of the most influential singles of the last 25 years as determined by a survey of leading music critics. While reading their list, I decided to present my own personal list of the top 10 singles that have influenced the music scene.

5. WITH	OR WITHOUT YOU...U2. (Set up rock 'n roll for the '90s)
6. BROWN SUGAR.. . Rolling Stones.
(The	Stones at
their
The entire alblum is melodic and throughly enjoyable to listen to. It is obvious that a great deal of thought and emotion went into the making of this album. Although the subject of many of the songs is depressing, the album does not have a melancholy feel to it. Instead, the album projects the feeling of maturity arid greater cohesivness as a band
Temple of the Low Men is a thoughtful and well crafted album. It is worth checking out. Crowded House will gain the recognition that they truly deserve with this album.

You won't notice any difference, but your country will.
The five minutes you spend registering with Selective Service at the post office won’t change you. You won’t be enlisting in the military. In fact, registration won’t make you any different.
But it will make a difference to your country. Having an accurate list of names could save six weeks in responding to a national emergency.
When you turn 18, register with Selective Service. It's quick. It's easy. And it's tbe law.
A public service message of this publication and Selective Service System.
