Weber Lectures on Hypnotism
by GENE MULLEN
by GENE MULLEN
Ken Weber, well-known psychic entertainer from New York City, appeared relaxed and at ease as he answered questions from students in the Commons. The question and answer session was a preview of Weber’s show scheduled for later in the day.
This was Weber’s second appearance at CCC. His show last year, according to one CCC student who had seen it, was “really something else.”
Wearing a black suit and print shirt, Weber’s slim dark appearance, black piercing eyes and well-modulated voice seemed ideal for his role as hypnotist and psychic.
Weber answered questions on Extrasensory Perception (ESP), hypnosis, transcendental meditation, and gave demonstrations of memory through association. One of his demonstrations was what he called “bio-feedback.”
Producing a little black box, Weber connected two wires from the box to the hand of a volunteer. The box, which measured galvanic skin reaction, emitted a humming whine which increased as the subject became excited and de-
creased as the subject calmed down. Weber said that the mind influences the body, usually within seconds.
Weber said that anyone could listen and learn to control reactions, reaching a calm state. It would also work the other way a-round, he said, the increase in volume would cause a subject to become even more uptight.
Answering questions on ESP, Weber defined it as the ability to perceive something beyond the use of the ordinary five senses. He identified telepathy as the ability to read or perceive the thoughts of another person. He said this should not be confused with clairvoyance, which is the ability to be aware of objects or events, or the ability to know about something. He said that clairvoyance means "clear vision.”
Weber defined precognition as the ability to see into the future. It is the knowledge of something that is going to happen, he said. He added that most of these “prophets” worked on a percentage system, making only general forecasts, filling in details after the
event happened. He said that the failures were never publicized.
Speaking on hypnotism, Weber said that a subject would have to be willing before he could be hypnotized. He said that because he was a hypnotist, people avoided looking into his eyes. He said that they must think that he had some strange power, like Svengali, and could take over minds at will. This is not true, he said. Hypnotism requires training and discipline.
Speaking on what was called regression under hypnosis, he said that it was used by psychologists to locate an area in a patient’s past that was causing trouble.
Another area of hypnotic regression, Weber said, was the regression into memories of the womb, and beyond. Some hypnotized subjects, like Bridey Murphy, claimed to be able to remember previous lives they had lived. The details recalled about some of the former lives have been a-mazing, he said. He also said that these cases were difficult to prove or to disprove.
Attorneys Paul and Galloway to Appear
Jerry Paul and Karen Galloway, who achieved national fame for their defense which led to the ac-quital of Joan Little, will speak at a convocation here at CCC November 5 and 6. Miss Little was acquitted on the charge of killing Clarence Alligood, her jailer, last August.
Paul, who has given up actively Practicing law in favor of lecturing, says he is planning on writing a
book and a movie on the Joan Little trial. There are plans to have actress Cicely Tyson play the part of Miss Little. Paul says that he sees Robert Redford in the role of defense counsel.
According to an article in the New York Times last week, Paul ridicules the system of justice. He claims that Miss Little’s acquittal was “bought.” Paul claims that, given enough money, “I can buy justice.” He said that he is going to
tell the truth. “You must destroy the charade, the illusion of justice.” Paul said that by pointing out the defects in the system, you hold it up to ridicule.
Paul said that if he had a way to overthrow the system overnight, he would do it. “But we are not ready for it,” he said. He said that ideology doesn’t matter in this country, what is needed is a cause. Joan Little furnished that cause.
Speaking of his use of
publicity during the trial, Paul said that you must “orchestrate the press.” That’s the way this country works, you must deal with reality. This is one of this country’s weaknesses, he said.
Paul and Karen Galloway, his co-counsel, will hold a convocation in the gym from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on November 5. A question and answer session will be held in the dining room of
the Commons at two, following the convocation. Discussions will be held November 6 in the large lounge in the Commons from nine a.m. to noon.
The discussion at nine will be on Racist/Sexist Justice. At ten the discussion will be on Law, Justice and Poverty. The last discussion will deal with Leverage within the Law — An Activist Approach.
Nature Center to Expand
by T. WILD
Occupying 300 acres on the CCC campus, The Spencer Crest Nature Center has incorporated an adjoining 100 acre donation from Corning Glass Works. The primary 300 acres of ecological lands was established in 1963 and set aside for field study in relation to the biological and physical sciences. This parcel contains two ponds, one seven acres and the other four; various streams, observation areas, lecture points, feeding stations and an indexed field guide corresponding to a numerical tree identification system. Encompassed among all of this are a number of meadows and wood lots in varying growth stages.
In 1974, CCC, Corning Rotary and members of t he Coming community supported a decision to expand the 300 acre parcel. Corning Glass Works Founda-
tion donated 100 acres of adjoining lands, Corning Rotary provided financial support, professional and legal aid and the expert guidance necessary to establish the Spencer Crest Nature Center, Inc. Release time has been secured from CCC to allow Professors Wills and Brennan the ample finances to establish an outdoor educational and recreational facility for the Corning community.
CGW Foundation donated an exceptional tract of land to incorporate within the nature center. At a 1700 foot elevation, Zone B forest. with dominant oak, hickory and hemlock stands, intersects with Zone C forest, with dominant beech, birch and maple stands. The elevation and intersection factor combine to present a most unique and diversified field of study presenting the expansive requirements necessary to provide growth
in varying plant and animal life.
The future of SCNC will ultimately result in the addition of lecture areas, an observation tower, photo blinds, an enclosed ornithological lab, hatchery dams, an observation boat and a diversified selection of trails, gardens, and feed stations. This selection is a direct result of consultation with John Weeks, a nationally known consultant on development of nature centers. The exceptional location and qualified administration of the nature center has resulted in a statement of excellence by John Weeks.
Spencer Crest Nature Center, Inc. and CCC extend an invitation to the Coming community and all interested individuals to visit and enjoy this wildlife refuge. Your continued support in the preservation attitude thus far extended toward this center is encouraged.

Driving Tips for Spencer Hill in the Winter
With winter fast approaching, roads will become slippery and dangerous, especially Spencer Hill.
There are many students who aren’t used to driving in the snow, and soon these students will have to drive up and down the hill. These drivers must be cautious, but not too cautious because the overcautious driver causes accidents just as readily as the reckless driver.
For a safer trip up and down the hill the driver should follow these safety hints.
First, make sure that your snow tires are good ones, not bald enough to be summer tires.
Second, make sure that your car is in good running condition and the wheels aligned properly.
Third, be sure your brakes operate properly. Brakes are a critical part of any driving, especially in winter.
Fourth, dress warm in case you do have problems. This hill can be quite cold if you have problems late at night when there is no one a-round.
Fifth, drive carefully. An alert driver who knows how to respond to winter’s nasty hazards can often save himself much trouble.
Sixth, when descending any snowy, slippery hill it is advisable to use slight application of the parking brake, to avoid a single brake from grabbing, which may cause a skid or spin.
Seventh, in ascending the same type of hill under similar conditions, give the lead car at least four or five full car lengths and use second gear to minimize tire slippage - thus spinning.
With these tips we hope that your winter will be a safe one. Always watch out for the other guy; he may not know the hill as well as you do.
It seems that Ken Weber hypnotist and psychic was very skeptical of other persons in his professions. When nationally noted Dr. Paul Simon’s name was mentioned to Weber, he dismissed Simon’s reputation with an evasive tone of voice. When Jeane Dixon’s name was brought up by one of the students in the audience, Weber also dismissed her with the statement, “I sort of have a mini-crusade against Jeane Dixon.” Now that was the only time I could wholeheartedly agree with Weber and his convictions that almost all other noted hypnotists / clairvoyants were crackpots. Jeane Dixon has been noted with such underserved recognition that her reliability record should make any person aware of her constant inconsistencies.
As Weber stated (and I followed this from beginning to end), Dixon had foreseen the death of a President in Office. I read for myself that particular prediction, and two years later when President John
Believe it or not, but as you are reading this, there are just 26 more days of classes before final exams start, (not counting the weekends and the vacation.)
Some of you may think that 26 days is almost like forever before the never-ending battle of “night-be-fore-cramming” begins. It really isn’t all that far a-way.
From past experience I know how easy it is to say to yourself “Well, it’s only October, I have until December.” I have also found a way to convince myself that it is getting close.

Mr. Weber and Other Odd Professions
F. Kennedy was assassinated, headlines read similar to, “Jeane Dixon Saw It All Before It Happened.” Claims were thrown all a-round that Dixon had seen a “dark cloud,” around the President’s head, days before his assassination. Wrong! None of that was ever mentioned in the papers until after the assassination. Such is the reliability of Jeane Dixon.
I had to make mention of the generalities of clairvoyants, fortune tellers, card readers, tea bag readers, faith healers, and on and on. There is only one exception to this rule of charlatanism that I can personally testify to. That is the case of a woman in Elmira who reads cards.
The woman knew not my name, age, address, goal ambitions or anything else about me. Yet she read my cards and told me of specific and personal events of my past, present and future that were strikingly accurate. Of greatest shock, was this woman’s mention of my career ambition of journalism. At no
time before her mention of this, had I even blinked an eye, or twitched a finger, for fear of revealing my inner nature to her. She had explicitly stated that journalism would only be my second career in life, in other words, a hobby. She went on to state further some very personal attributes and faults about my own self that only I know. She advised me on how to control those particular emotions. Those attributes and faults this amazing woman mentioned were accurate.
An hour and a half I spent with this woman (normal readings are a half hour), and I could never go into full length the accuracies this woman read to me. I will get rebuttals and guffaws from this editorial, but it is an event that I know for sure happened. My imagination did not run astray when I visited this woman, and this woman did not ever meet me before that time of my reading. Yet, her reputation is of utmost quality among the professions of oddities.

Start Studying Now
If I know how many days there are left, I can sometimes get myself going, but usually if I break the total number of days left down into the number of days left for each class, I really get going.
One way I have found to rid yourself of the “night-before-cramming” is to start studying now. I mean to study about a chapter or so a night along with your regular studying and there won’t be so much to do in the end. If you review a little every night until the time comes for the final, you will be more relaxed for the test.
I have found that if I study a little bit at a time, I learn more and I learn better. I also feel better the day of the test because I didn’t have to stay up all night to cram for the final.
I am not saying that the final will be a real breeze if you start studying now. What I am saying is that if you start now and do a little every night and then the night before the test just go over the entire thing, you will feel more relaxed the day of the final and be more alert. After all, the brain can take only so much cramming.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Rebuttal to Guest Editorial
To the Editor:
As an informed student speaking for NORML, I would like to comment on Gene Mullen’s statements regarding present laws a-gainst marijuana.
He first states that punishment merely ensures that law breakers will be extra careful not to get caught. Unfortunately, pot smokers do get caught, even in the “safety” of their homes. They are then punished with a lengthy jail term, or at least a criminal record. Mr. Mullen next attempts to justify the severity of the laws by “that’s the main idea behind punishment.” However, any
administrator of punishment, from a young parent to a Supreme Court Justice, will agree that the punishment must be relative to the crime. Would a child be confined to his room for several years because he refused to eat his vegetables? Of course not, but in N.Y., simply possessing over 1 ounce of marijuana can bring 15 years in jail — the same as if you had committed robbery, arson, or manslaughter.
Our challenger further claims that many laws, such as traffic control, also consume the precious time of law enforcement people. May I remind him that min-
or traffic violations are usually handled by mail, and do not result in a criminal record. This is exactly how we would like to see marijuana handled.
Mr. Mullen goes on to argue that if pot smokers and non-pot smokers are not essentially different in any way, then why smoke it at all? Well, While we do not encourage the use of grass, we feel it is a personal decision, not one to be decided by a handful of politicians. The next half of his letter deals with the uncertain wording of research on marijuana. May I argue that all research reports are cautiously worded.
This is to admit that man has only a limited knowledge about all things — from birth control to euthanasia. NORML does not argue that marijuana is harmless, we argue that the laws against private possession are unjust.
Our critic also makes a poor analogy when he compares grass to tobacco. The harmful tar and nicotine substances found in legal cigarettes are not present in the infamous “joint.”
This man obviously has enough personal doubts about marijuana to decide it is not for him. However, 13 million Americans who smoke it regularly feel dif-
ferently. There is no evidence to suggest that these people are a threat to society. NORML simply wants to keep them out of jail.
Gene’s closing comments refer to everyone’s right to change a law they feel is unjust. We applaud this attitude, and his concern about getting the facts straight first. We further urge the students and faculty of CCC to help us DO something about the law, instead of just bitch about it.
Sincerely, Jeni Paquette NORML

THE CRIER, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30,1975 3
Second Meeting Concerning Security on Campus
by GENE MULLEN
A second meeting on student security was held October 21 at 2:00 in the conference room of the administration building.
President Robert W. Frederick opened the meeting by saying that he had been meeting with the College Board of Trustees on the problems of campus security. He agreed that personnel other than those enrolled in the Criminal Justice curriculum might have more maturity than some of the criminal justice students, but that the board felt strongly that involvement in this curriculum should be a prime prerequisite for involvement in student security.
Frederick said that while he was certain of his ground, he had been consulting the board to protect himself, and to make them aware of the situation. He said he wanted to reassure himself that he had been acting in accordance with their policies.
He also said that the board agreed that security at social functions must be scrupulous, and that they insisted on tight controls.
Frederick said that within constraints of the issue, the board considered that pay for security personnel at social functions might be built into a financial aid package for students.
David C. Frank, dean of college services, complimented the students, who “saw something and went out and did something about it.” He said that he had learned something about student attitudes, and that they should continue in this attitude.
He said that, in compromise, they would drop the ratio of security personnel down to 75 to one, instead of the 50 to one it had been. He said that this ratio would be tested to see if it proved practical.
Frank said that “practicum” students in the criminal justice program were set up to work two hours a day in student security, and that they did not get paid. We could change the schedules, he said, to make this free security available for club functions.
Frank also said that James Chapman, assistant professor of criminal justice, had gone out on a limb when he said that student security would be made up of sophomores. Frank said -that while sophomores do have more maturity, there were not always enough personnel available in this category. In this case, he said, we would have no choice but to use younger students.
One student asked what authority the members of student security had.
Chapman replied that they received their authority at the direction of the president (Frederick) and from CCC regulations and
civil law.
The student then asked if they were not putting themselves in a “libelous position” and asked if it was correct to put them in this position.
Frederick replied that CCC had liability insurance that covered paid members of student security. He added that members not paid were not covered.
The students said that a copy of CCC regulations showed inconsistencies with the version printed in the College Handbook. He cited limits placed on the application of college discipline.
Frederick said that these regulations applied only to campus disorders and had nothing to do with social events.
The student said that the college had the right to impose discipline, and said that drinking at social functions and causing trouble amounted to college disorder. He said that if the college is to maintain civil law on campus, they should say so. Security personnel should be aware of these responsibilities.
Dana Keeler said that student security should be concerned with the protection of health and security, and that this should be its function.
Frank asked Keeler if he was trying to make the point that certain actions should be overlooked by security.
Keeler repeated that security should be responsible for protection and security-
One student said that outside police should be called to handle civil law matters. This, he said, would be for the best protection of CCC.
Frederick said that what he (the student) was saying was that he didn’t want security until something happened, then the police should be called.
Keeler said that the use of college security was duplicating civil law enforcement in violation of college regulations. He said that the students are asked to live up to these regulations while the college was violating them.
Frederick said that maybe a “Philadelphia Lawyer” should be called in to sort out the fine points. He said that the college is not duplicating anything. He asked if maybe we should stop having kegs on campus until the fine points are changed.
Chapman said that no matter what the college regulations said, New York State civil law supercedes them. When asked what student security was allowed to do, he said that they had the rights of any citizen to use sufficient force to quell disturbances, and that they had the right to make a citizen’s arrest if necessary. He added that there have been guidelines in effect since September.
There have been a few disturbances, but no arrests', he said.
Keeler said that they were missing the point. He said that the college should not duplicate civil authority with student security. We don’t want student security used as a police force. CCC shouldn’t need security because of a few isolated incidents, he added.
Frederick said that CCC has a right and an obligation to enforce security. The use of a student security force is an administrative decision.
Chapman added that student security was not actively involved with investigation or law enforcement.
Keeler said that reports are filed by student security on violations of the civil and penal code.
Frederick said that reports are filed every day on everything that goes on, on campus. He said that we have always had security on campus, and that the former security force, a civilian detective agency, had also filed such reports. He added that he had not considered the former security force adequate.
When asked if he considered the present security force adequate, Frederick said he certainly did.
Keeler asked if the prerequisites and guidelines for student security were to be published. He also wanted to know if the areas of responsibility were going to be made known.
Frederick said that regulations and guidelines would be published. He said that the use of students as a security force was “unexplored territory,” and that the regulations might have to be rewritten as the situation develops.
Frederick said that we can’t tie Mr. Chapman’s hands, and that guidelines must allow him some leeway in determining the criteria for security personnel. He also said that responsibilities were outlined in the security job description.
Keeler said that safeguards should be set up to guard against invasion of privacy. He said that students had been stopped and questioned by security personnel while they were going from one place to another.
Frederick said that he would have to have more details on this.
Frank said that some of the security personnel look younger than the students they, are trying to control, and that some of the older students resented
the idea of younger students supervising their conduct. He said that we are looking for older, more mature people.
Frederick said that we will write guidelines “to satisfy my needs for security and Mr. Chapman’s needs for curriculum.” He said that you’ve “made us aware of a situation.” He said in regard to the use of criminal justice students as security, “we will stick to this line.”
A suggestion was made that security concentrate on trouble areas and leave the majority alone.
Frederick agreed, but said that we can’t assume who is going to cause trouble.
Chapman added that there is “always that little percentage,” that is liable to cause trouble.
Keeler brought up the subject of security identification and said that name tags were not enough. He asked if some identifying clothing or an armband might be worn. Unmarked cars do not stop crime, he said.
Frederick said that the thought of uniforms would be “stifling” to the students.
In response to Keeler’s statement that we did not want a reporting system, Chapman said that a reporting system is part of police curriculum.
When asked how a student would know if his name was on a report, Frederick said that the report goes to the director of security (Chapman) where it is read and sent to Frank. If the report requires action, the student is called in.
Frederick said that the only persons authorized access to the file maintained on all reports are the directors of security, Frank
On October 18-19, CCC students attended the Air Hockey Tournament at Buffalo State University. Corning College placed third out of the five colleges that attended.
The winner from our college was Doug Crooker of Caton, Zane Chambers placed third in the competition.
The students were housed by Buffalo State. Persons from the university went out of their way to
and Chapman. He said that this file is confidential and is not available to other agencies. He said that it is not available to subpoena. He also said that the file is separate from the student’s permanent record and is “ultimately destroyed.”
Keeler asked if he might see his record. Frederick said that he had the right, but later said that right applied only to his permanent record.
Keeler then asked how long these “hidden records” were kept. He was informed that the state had laws on how long records should be kept.
Keeler said that the keeping of these hidden records might be a violation of his personal rights. He said that he would never know if a record on him was being kept.
Frank said that “every student named” has been notified. He added that it has only happened twice.
Speaking on the use of Criminal Justice students as security personnel, Frederick said that the whole purpose of the curriculum is to train personnel for law enforcement. The day of the town bully who passes a civil service exam and pins on a badge is coming to an end. We need the scientific approach, he added.
He said that security should attempt to prevent violations, but we are not perfect. We can’t guarantee complete security, but we can minimize risks. We can’t relax the system to negligence, he added.
Frederick said that Chapman took on a managerial job he didn’t have to. A schism is occurring that he may not have been aware of. You (the student) have made us aware of this situation.
show CCC students a good time. The Air Hockey team would like to thank Mr. Donald Beck for the use of the college van which provided the transportation to the tournament.
If any student would like more information concerning the air hockey tournament and upcoming tournaments, contact Stephen McGruder in the Student Activities Office.
The Mental Health Players from the Elmira Psychiatric Center will be in the small lounge of the

voicing disapproval of Louka and Sergius marrying; Raina and Capt. Bluntschli marrying.
On Friday night, October 24, I attended the Two-Bit Players production of Arms and the Man, by George Bernard Shaw. It was an enjoyable experience, and if you saw it, you would understand why. The set and properties were grand — just as they should have been, for it was a grand era, and grand Bulgaria being portrayed. It was a play to be remembered.
The characters, as Mr. Shaw saw them were quite memorable, but our own classmates added a great deal of their own flair. Probably the greatest of all, at least in the eyes of a charmed audience, was Sergius, the betrothed of Major Petkoffs daughter, Raina. Sergius, performed with precise pompousness by William Gonta, was an over-exaggerated, goose-stepping nincompoop, dressed like a soldier. In him, you could have easily seen a small amount of just about everyone, played up to look like no one in particular. He was well loved.
Next, I must make mention of the character Raina. Julie Snyder must have worked long and hard on
Review by CONNIE GRAY
the actions and gestures that transformed herself from Julie Snyder into Raina Petkoff. Her performance was marvelous.
Captain Bluntschli, the mud-spattered, sleepy, Swiss-Serbian soldier is another unforgettable character. He is the only character allowed to remain cool. Tom Couse was cool. He gave the part the posture it deserved.
The Major and Mrs. Pet-koof are also to be praised. William Thompson and Jennifer Lang skillfully moved from their actual, youthful selves, to the maturity their parts deserved.
It is a difficult job to handle, but it was a beautiful transition, and they performed well.
Susan Black, who portrayed Louka, the servant girl, and Fran Anderson, who portrayed Nicola, the butler, are to be commended for their supporting roles in the play. Louka and Nicola are catalysts of a sort, necessary for the smooth action of the play. Although their parts are brief, their contributions are lasting.
Now, not to forget one
other member of the cast, I will mention the absurd Russian officer. If you understand the motive behind Shaw’s play, you can easily see how the Russian is used to make a point. Arms and the Man is a satire on the military, and how ridiculous war, marching, and all the other silly duties of a soldier are. The Russian soldier is played by Tim Wagstaff, and for the brevity of the part, Tim, you did a fine job.
Of course Hank Moon-schein deserves some thanks, and so, thanks Hank. You have all probably been thanked already, but for my own enjoyment, the enjoyment I received from watching this production, I too, would like to thank you. The sets were great, especially the “library,” the light and sound were very effective, and all the people involved in the various other aspects of the production made it as wonderful as it was. I will have to go a long way before I find another play that pleases me as much as Arms and the Man, performed by the Two-Bit Players.
After play Hank Moon-schein draws the name of the winner of a case of Bully Hill wine.

Bill White Named Student Trustee
The Black Student Union (BSU) will present a Show & Dance, starring “The Insiders,” on November 4 from 3:00 - 8:00 P.M. in the main cafeteria. This band has tours with James Brown and has several records out on the Polydor label. They have traveled throughout the United States and have had several tours in Canada.
We are also holding a bake sale Friday, October 31, in the Classroom Building and Commons.
Wilma Beaman, one of our advisors, is at the EOP
Director’s Conference in New York City. She will be back either tomorrow (the 31st), or on Monday. In her absence Connie Greene has taken over some of Wilma’s responsibilities.
Check out US. We are changing our name from Peace (Shalom, Paz, Jam-bo) to US - Understand & Share. We feel that you will realize that this column is about the Black students on and off campus, with this new title, US.
Have a Happy Halloween.
Effective immediately. Bill White will begin his position of representing students of the campus on the CCC Board of Trustees. White is also Vice President of the Inter-Club Council (ICC), a Student Life Finance representative, and Secretary of Region II Association of College Unions-International (ACU-I).
The Board of Trustees position allows White to suggest and voice opinions on behalf of the students. White is given full membership to the Board of Trustees except the right to vote. It is White’s vast experience with student-teacher relations that won him the post. His first work for the Board involves White as part of a nine man committee in search for a replacement for President Frederick’s position. In regards to his responsibilities on the Board of Trustees, White stated, “I will
be the voice between students and trustees and will take the students concerns to the board. But it will be a two-way street, and I will bring to the students the interests of the board members.” He is highly pleased to have been chosen and feels that even though he isn’t given the right to vote, student representation on the Board is a step in the right direction towards the goal of policy making on the campus.
As Vice President of the ICC White is enabled to be highly involved directly with the students on the club, social and extra-curricular level.
During the weekend of October 3-5 at Cornell University, White was selected Secretary of Region II ACU-I. At this level of responsibility, White is working for the changing educational, social, cultural and educational needs of the students in an area cov-
ering all of New York State except Long Island and New York City. The parts of Canada above New York State are also included in the realm of White’s responsibility as Secretary of the Region II ACU-I.
White’s additional experience with the Student Life Finance Committee enables him to be highly active with the reviewing and allocating of the student’s activities budget. Bill White is very much involved with the students and teachers interests.
Did You Know That . . .
Every student must have a 2.0 cumulative average to graduate from CCC? Some students have been on campus as many as six semesters and are still unable to graduate because they have not yet reached a 2.0 cumulative average, yet still want to, and are encouraged to get that degree.
Added semesters required for raising an average for getting a degree not only waste the students’ money, but also the classroom facilities, teaching and administrative time, and the students’ time — time that could be spent on finding a job and securing a steady income. Transfers to other colleges may be made more difficult because CCC’s academic standards are not high enough.
Think about it. Get involved in it now that you are a little more informed. Help us to see just how the student body stands in an issue of this kind.

DISCussion

Bob Donahue
I’ve been waiting for some time now to review a jazz album, just so you jazz buffs wouldn’t feel left out. Finally, several new jazz LPs have hit the racks, all of some notoriety, so I thought it might be a good idea to talk about all of them.
Anthony Braxton-5 Pieces 1975 Although I much prefer hearing Braxton in an ensemble setting, this LP, over half of which is dedicated to his structured improvisation, stands out as his most definitive album to date. Getting good support from his back-up, particularly Dave Holland, Braxton manages to finally transcend the Bird-Col-trane-Coleman tag and establish his playing for what it is. Braxton remains our brightest hope for progressive jazz future, and if you fashion yourself anything of a jazz fan and haven’t yet heard this man, where have you been?
Stanley Clarke Journey to Love This LP suffers from the same fault as the last Return to Forever album - overproduction. Stanley Clarke should not be allowed to run wild at the control panels. The horns and strings are certainly out of place here, the vocals are
mixed down for some odd reason and a guest appearance by Jeff Beck is terribly marred. Beck’s guitar -ing is put through some horrible synthesizing effect which Clarke also uses on his own liquid bass playing. Lenny White stands out with his powerful style of drumming, even though it occasionally can be a little redundant. All-in-all, a very disappointing LP.
Tony Williams Lifetime Believe It
I saved the best for last. Tony Williams is back after a long absence with his own insistent drumming and he’s brought a stunning new band with him. Ex-Soft Machine Allan Holds-worth stands out on guitar as a bright spot to watch and the rest of the band is likewise brilliant. The real story, however, is Williams and the fact that he’s better than ever. He’s lost none of the fire and energy he possessed several years ago during various incarnations of Lifetime. He’s improved, so stand back.
Well, there it is for all you jazz nuts. Pick up the Braxton if you want an education, the Clarke if you need a good night’s sleep and the Williams if you want to hear some excellent drumming.

Sex crimes. What are they? Do they happen in our rural area? How can we guard against them?
You have probably never really considered most of these questions and have actually thought very little about the entire subject, until recently, when a series of slides and a movie on rape were shown on campus. But you should realize that sexual offenses coyer a much broader scope than just the crime of rape.
There are three major types of sexual offenses: sodomy, sexual abuse and rape. Each of these has different degrees under the Penal Law of the State of New York.
According to the penal laws a person is guilty of sodomy in the third degree if he engages in deviate sexual intercourse with a person incapable of consent for a reason other than being under seventeen years old, or, being over 21, he engages in deviate sexual intercourse with a person under 17. In second degree sodomy the guilty person would be over 18 and the victim under 14, while first degree would be deviate sexual intercourse by forcible compulsion, with a person physically incapable of consent, or less than 11 years old.
Third degree sexual a-buse is sexual contact without consent, upon a person less than 17, the perpetrator being over 14 and the victim less than 5 years older than him. In the second degree abuse the victim would be less than 14 or incapable of consent: and first degree sexual a-buse would be contact by forcible compulsion, with a person physically helpless or less than 11 years of age.
Finally, third degree rape is sexual intercourse
Sixteen: Who played the male lead on Broadway in “South Pacific?”
Seventeen: Who was the United States first Astronaut?
Eighteen:	Who played
Tony in the movie “West Side Story?”
Nineteen:	What quiz
show did Gene Rayburn host before the “Match Game?”
Twenty: Who sponsored “Captain Midnight?”
And now for the answers....
One: In 1967 Linda Ron-stadt had a hit called “Different Drum.”
Two: Jerry Tester hosted “Broadway Open House.” Three: Ken Russel is making “Lisztomania.” Four: “When the Love Lights Start Shining” was the Supremes first hit.
Five: “Trick or Treat” is the movie Bianca will be starring in.
Six: Mel Blanc is the voice of Bugs Bunny.
Seven: “I can disagree with what some of our children do, but as long as they are honest and give us an opportunity to express our views, I don’t think I should go any further,” was the President’s statement about his son’s use of marijuana.
Eight: Baltz gave Emperor Hirohito a smiling Jack-
with a female under 17 by a male over 21, or intercourse with a female incapable of consent for a reason other than being under 17. A man is guilty of second degree rape if his victim is less than age 14, and first degree rape if he engages in sexual intercourse by forcible compulsion, with a female physically helpless or under 11 years old
Yes, they certainly are horrible definitions of horrible crimes, but of course, they don’t happen around here. Unfortunately for all of us, male and female, they do happen in this area. In 1974 the Coming City Police Department received two reports of sodomy and one of sexual abuse. The Steuben County Sheriffs Office had one reported sodomy and four reported sexual abuses. In the same period of time, the State Police, covering 15 townships in Steuben and one in Schuyler counties, received three reports of sodomy, four reports of sexual abuse and five reports of rape. That is a total of 19 reported, sex-related crimes in this area last year. These are the reported crimes; however, all the law enforcement officials I talked with agreed that a large percentage of these sex-related crimes are never reported.
Still not convinced? Then consider this case, related to me by Lt. R. T. Faulisi, of the Corning City Police Department. It seems that just seven years ago this month a local man was apprehended for and convicted of rape of at least one CCC student He had parked and waited at the bottom of Spencer Hill, picked up a hitchhiking girl, drove her a considerable distance beyond the college and told her that either she would have to give into his sexual demands or she would have

to walk the long distance back to the college. It couldn’t happen again today?
It is impossible to even try to predict what any of you would do in this or any other sexually threatening situation. This is the best reason to guard against the crime, rather than think about how to get out of it once accosted. Read the following, male and female a-like, and decide if you are setting yourself up as a victim of a sex crime.
Do you: hitchhike, especially at night, go on blind dates, walk alone at night, leave house or car doors unlocked, fail to pull shades, sunbathe or dress where observable, allow strange people (salesmen, clergy), in your home without proper I.D., send your children out alone to sell items (such as Girl Scout cookies), or take a lonely route to school. Do you: attend ESP, sex or religion cults, go swimming alone, go outside the protection of the law by performing illegal actions, or use unknown store fitting rooms. Finally, very importantly, do you wear sensible clothes and shoes so as to enable you to flee quickly if accosted?
It is important to keep your car in gas and repair to avoid breakdowns, know your date and each other’s limits, travel with adequate money for an emergency or even everyday expenses, and know your doctor’s reputation and credibility.
This is only a very small, partial listing of the dangerous things you might be doing each day. Check your life patterns and remember, it is much easier to prevent a hazardous situation than it is to try and perform the actions required to get out of one.

Discovery of Helium
CORRECTION
In the October 23 issue of the Crier, an error in regards to the “Day Care Openings,” article was made. Mistaken information was submitted to the Crier, and Miss Sally Walker of the
Day Care Center stated that you are to call her directly at 962-5435, not the Office of Continuing Education and Community Services, for your children.
On August 18, 1868 there was a total solar eclipse and one of the scientists who rushed to view it was the French astronomer Pierre Jules Cesar Janssen who went to India for that purpose.
Janssen directed his attention to the sun’s chromosphere with the aid of a spectroscope, an instrument that breaks down light into discrete lines, characteristic of each chemical element.
In this occasion Janssen noticed a strong yellow •line which didn’t coincide with the yellow line emitted when sodium is burnt in a flame. Sodium is a common chemical element on earth and one of the components of common salt (sodium chloride).
The English astronomer J. Norman Lockyer made the same observation and suggested that the new yellow line was due to an undiscovered chemical element for which he boldly proposed the name of a helium from the Greek word for the sun, helios.
Janssen’s and Lockyer’s findings were reported

ELMIRA

simultaneously to the French Academy of Sciences on October 23,1868.
Helium remained an extra-terrestial element until 1891 when the chemist Will-iam F. Hillebrand of the U.S. Geological Survey detected new and unexplained lines in a sample of a gas he obtained by heating a uranium ore; however Hillebrand rejected the idea that the new lines were caused by a new chemical element.
The English chemist William Ramsay didn’t accept Hillebrand’s interpretation and went on to confirm the presence of helium in cleveite, an ore of uranium, on March 26,1895.
A few years later the presence of helium was confirmed in the earth’s atmosphere and in 1903 Cady and McFarland at the University of Kansas, found the element in natural gas, whence it is extracted for industrial and military uses.
The production of helium in 1960 amounted to 642 million cubic feet, a figure which is indicative of the importance of this element.

Baseball Coach Speaks Out	Strictly Baseball
The Coming Community College Red Barons baseball team just recently closed out its fall season with a 3-9 record. Coach Dave Clark gave his views and reflections this past week on his first year at the coaching helm of Coming first intercollegiate baseball team.
Clark stated that he was quite disappointed with the Red Barons final record, because he had better expectations that his squad would do better at the beginning of the campaign.
Clark’s major disappointments were in the performances of last year’s club leaders Chuck McGan-non and Dan Bennett. Mc-Gannon, the ace southpaw last year was ineffective which showed in his high number of walks. McGan-non lacked the control he had last spring because, as Clark points out. he had to alter his delivery, otherwise his former delivery would have been called a balk. Shortstop Danny Bennett batted a low .117 and his defensive skills were down from a year before. Clark stated, “Danny Bennett had the attitude where the minute he stepped on the field he would give you 100% all the time.”
Coach Clark added that the team’s number one weakness was simply pitching. Without that depth at the pitching position, a team isn’t going to win too many games. Clark added that there also wasn’t much depth at the other eight positions except second base where Mike Roberts and Sal Tambosco shared the duties.
This fall was not a complete disaster though, as Coaches Clark, Quatrone, and Muck came across some pleasant surprises. Paul Novack turned out to be CCC’s best pitcher. He won two of the three Red Baron victories and his earned run average was .88. Coach Clark coached Novack before, but as Clark put it, “This is the hardest I’ve seen Paul throw.” Clark was also impressed with Denis Sweeney who strengthened the first base position which last spring many ballplayers played. At the catching position, Dan Clark and Jeff Ayers both hit for a good average and they cut down would-be stealers the majority of the time. Last spring, CCC’s outfield was a definite weakness and time and time again, they were hurt by this when rou-

The first time Corning met Niagara, they were defeated 7-2. Their last match of the fall season was played Thursday and the men’s tennis team rallied for a 4-4 tie before darkness cancelled out the last doubles match. Steve Underwood was a double winner as he turned up another excellent performance. Corning was involved in a triangular match Tuesday and dropped two decision’s as
tine fly balls would drop in for doubles and triples. Kerry Leipold patrolled the territory in centerfield and he was the Red Barons number one defensive outfielder. Clark stated. “Kerry showed us good range and he had a good pair of hands.” Danny O’Mara impressed the Red Baron coaches as he delivered clutch home runs to aid the Red Barons in winning their three games. O’Mara and Leipold both shored up a relatively weak position with their fine defensive play.
Coach Clark feels that if Coming is going to progress in its baseball program, he needs people who are dedicated to sacrifice their time to come to the practices and games and give 100%. Coach Clark made a statement regarding this by saying, “I would like to thank the following players who were able to attend every possible practice and game: Danny Bennett, Marc Malan-dra, Denis Sweeney, Jeff Ayers, Steve Mahoney, Paul Novack, Danny O’Mara, Dan Clark, Mike Rahr, Sal Tambosco, and Kerry Leipold. These players were definitely an asset to the ballclub and they helped Coming to establish a baseball program.” Coach Clark also added, “We need more of these type of ballplayers in the spring and I would like everyone on campus eligible to try out, to come out March 8. There are absolutely no ballplayers who have a position on the team made. I would like to emphasize though that we definitely are short of pitching. With the loss of Mc-Gannon this spring, we will be left to one starting pitcher. Anyone who comes out as a pitcher will have a much greater chance of making the squad than a player going out for another position. If we come across some ‘surprise’ starters, the quality of Novack or of a McGan-non of a year ago, it will definitely improve our ballclub.” Clark also stated that with one of two more quality pitchers, CCC may make it to the NJCAA Reg-ionals. The scheduling of back to back doubleheaders definitely didn’t help the Red Barons who at times didn’t have enough pitchers. This spring though more single games and less doubleheaders will be on the agenda which should lessen the burden on the pitching
Elmira College and Mansfield topped them 5-1, 4-2, respectively. The teams final record was 1-7-1. Coach Neil Buckley hopes for a large turnout for the spring season so if your interest is tennis, let’s get on the court this spring and give our team your support. Steve Underwood, Randy Long, and Steve Fedoriw were the bright spots of the season for Corning.
staff.
Another thing Coach Clark pointed out was that his ballclub was very weak fundamentally. The failure to hit the cutoff man meant the difference in one game of winning or losing. The Red Barons though, made mistakes early in the game which were not as apparent but it did prevent CCC from victory at times. There is a silver lining to every dark cloud though as Coach Clark pointed out that the Red Barons lost a lot of close games with some of the top teams in the Regionals, which is an encouraging sign. This showed that with a little more added help, the Red Barons could have turned some of those defeats to victory. Coach Clark with his assistants Dave Quatrone and Gordy Muck are going to work extensively on fundamentals this spring. Clark adds that he wasted two weeks on picking his players and he spent only one week on fundamentals. He plans to even give up some batting practice to help improve each player in fundamentals. Coach Clark admits he made some mistakes and he feels that this fall proved to be a good learning experience for both the players and coaches.
Coach Clark closed by saying that he hopes all the fall participants, will tell others to come out for baseball on March 8. The growth of the program depends upon the interest and dedication of people who want to play. Coach Clark finally said, “I would like to thank Dave Quatrone and Gordy Muck in assisting me this fall. Also I would like to thank Athletic Director Neil Bulkley for getting the schedule made out and Tony Cleary who was our trainer. I am looking forward to seeing anyone interested in trying out for CCC’s baseball team March 8.”
Volleyballers Win Again
The Coming Community College womens volleyball team under the direction of Miss Mary Lee chalked up their fifth consecutive victory as they pounded St. John Fisher 15-5, 15-8, 15-8. The victory upped CCC’s record to 5-1.
In the contest, Corning was very strong in their attacking and spiking as St. John Fisher couldn't control the Baronesses as they were soundly beaten. Fisher also had great difficulty with returning Comings serves. The only difficulty CCC had was returning the serves of one of the Fisher women.
Miss Lee’s crew looks well on their way to a fine season. The team looks exceptionally strong in attacking and spiking. The team is a little weak on defense but their improving every game.
The teams next match is November 5th at home a-gainst Broome and Monroe.

To orient you readers who do not know me, I am the head baseball coach at Coming Community College and will be writing occasional columns dealing specifically with baseball for the Crier. This first column will deal with my experience in professional baseball this last summer with the Indianapolis Clowns baseball club.
To begin with, I was invited to a Clowns tryout camp held in Muscatine, Iowa on May 24, 25, and 26. I left home at 6 a.m. on Thursday, May 22 for the 16 hour trip to Muscatine. Waiting in my hotel room for two days got to be a drag, so I drove to Hunne-well, Missouri where I had played three years earlier for the Art Gaines Baseball Camp. Upon arriving, I found a gate locked and no one there, so I got back in my car and started on the four hour trip back to Muscatine, stopping briefly in Hannibal, Missouri, town of Mark Twain fame, where I had pitched a couple of games in my career as a Gaines Gator against the local Hannibal team.
Upon finally arriving back in Muscatine, I decided to seek out the stadium that I would be trying out in. After getting directions from a gas station attendant, I started for Tom Bruner Field, the home of the “World Famous Indianapolis Clowns,” the first professional team of all time home run leader Hank Aaron. On the way, however, I ran across Liberty St. which rang a bell. It was the street the owner of the Clowns lived on and I had remember it from the letterhead on the letters I had received. At this point, I decided to try to find the owner, Mr. George Long, and introduce myself. I found it alright, but neither the house or the appearance of the grizzled, toothless old man in battered pants and no shirt who came to greet me, suggested this was the owner of the Clowns. But indeed it was. “Mr. George Long,” said the voice, “Dave Clark,” I said, as I firmly gripped his hand. My association with the Clowns had officially begun.
A meeting of prospective team members was held that night at the Muscatine Hotel, the official headquarters of the 46th edition of the Indianapolis Clowns. Altogether, 30 ballplayers had been invited from all over the country, plus Canada, to this tryout. Three days later, 16 of the 30 would be going home. The remaining 14 would make up the season opening roster. I wanted very badly to be among those 14.
After the team meeting, in which topics such as proper conduct and what we could expect in the tryouts were discussed, I went back to my room and went
to sleep, a little apprehensive about what the next day might bring.
Saturday, the first day of tryouts dawned bright and clear. There were to be two tryout sessions in each of the first two days with the first cuts made after the initial day of tryouts. The very first tryout session was devoted to recording running times in such lengths as the 60 yard, to first base and all the way a-round the bases. Again, for those of you who do not know me, I walk with crutches and braces, the result of polio when I was 10 months old. For this reason I was exempted from the time trials, so I did some long distance running on my own, about two miles, in the outfield. Now I’m not fast by any means but I can run a mile in 14 minutes and I do so daily to stay in shape. Since I hadn’t done any running or working out since I left home, two days earlier, I thought I’d better get some in when I had the time. Then I did a little throwing on the sidelines with the Clowns business manager, Gary Horne. The morning tryout ended and we broke for a light lunch and a little rest before coming back for the afternoon session in which the prospective pitchers would be scrutinizingly looked at while we took our turns hurling batting practice. As each pitcher neared the end of his allotted time on the mound, the manager of the 1975 Clowns, Bill Heward, would step up to the plate and tell each pitcher to throw his best stuff. It was his way of evaluating each pitcher. I did well, even threw a couple of knuckle balls past Heward. Afterward we were all advised that the list of first cuts would be posted in the hotel lobby that night. After what seemed like years, the list appeared. My name wasn’t on it. I was still a-live and hopeful of landing a spot on the roster.
The next day went as smoothly as the first for me and going into the last day of tryouts, I still hadn’t been cut and was even surprising myself a little. After pitching a scoreless two innings in a squad game, the manager called me aside and told me that he had decided on keeping me as the last man on his pitching staff, at least for the beginning of the season. Then he told me to go in the clubhouse and get assigned a uniform. I got assigned number 1. Even though I was the last pitcher kept, I was on cloud 9. I had made the Clowns, the team Henry Aaron had played for.
In my next column, I’ll recreate my season as an Indianapolis Clown which took me from bottom man on the totem pole to the team’s top relief pitcher by seasons end. Catch you then in the Crier.
