-i-t COEDUCATION IS HERE TO STAY CtOER corning community college STUDENT GOVERNMENT CHECKS IN Hi! I'm Debi Miller, your Student Government Treasurer, if you didn't already know. For these first few weeks I've been just another face to those of you not involved in Student Government. While “incognito" I have been informed several times that S.G. is full of jerks, especially the Executive Board. This suprised me since these people obviously had no idea who was on that board and most didn’t know what S.G. does. I really can't blame any uninformed student of this opinion since 1 once thought that it was just an extension of High School Student Council and of little influence. It wasn't until Bulent Melezoglu, last year’s president, convinced me to become a sanator that 1 began to realize what S.G. did. The Executive Board, elected last year in a general election, acts as the Executive and Judicial Board presiding over the major organizations such as; A.P.C., I.C.C.,Nursing Society, etc. The Student Congress if composed of a House of Representatives from each of these organizations and a Senate of 15 students. One of the principal duties is distribution of the Activities Budget which consists of your Activities Fee. This is carried our by a Budget Committee which debates during the summer so when school begins all the major organizations receive their portion of the budget. This year the Budget Committee consisted of the entire Executive Board; Sue Lynch, I.C.C. President and Eric Bernhardt, Joe Student. One of the most contraversial things to come from our Administration was decided in that committee. After approximately six meetings of debate (actually arguing) a vote was taken. It was decided that the difference between what V.C.I.P. pays and the Vet’s Counselor's Salary would be paid from the budget only for this year until the Administration could organize to fund it or drop it. Some other S.G. sponsored activities include: a winter ball, Sun-fest, and a major concert. There will also be a Student Info Day to tell you what Reagan is really cutting from your grants. Other mysterious, magical projects are also in the works. If you have any suggestions, commendations, or threats, I’m in the S.G. office (next door to the Crier, someone stole our sign) Tu Th 11-1 or 2, except Thursdays at 12:30 which is when our meeting is held. If you'd really like to get a say in what's going on, or even become an Executive Board member, there is a position for Auditing Treasurer open. Just stop in, get a petition, and put in an application. The best way to have your say is to get involved. Mixing men and women in college is an old concept to some colleges, but many others just joined the ranks of coeducational schools in the last decade. Over 100 colleges and universities made the switch in the 1970s including many of the bastions of traditional single-sex education like Notre Dame and Yale. One problem hitting some schools is the unwillingness to reduce the enrollment of the sex that traditionally dominated the school at the same time the other sex is admitted. In some cases this has resulted in overcrowding. Especially in these rough times for education, schools are hesitant to expand facilities and faculty to adequately accommadate the needs of the sex traditionally not admitted to the school. On the other hand, many schools have profited greatly from the expansion into offerings for the opposite sex. It offers those schools the opportunity to double their size of enrollment without relaxing their standards. This means they are able to double their size without sacrificing their reputations. Academic standards are maintained, or in some cases raised. The colleges also experience a rise in enrollment beyond the numbers of the opposite sex that are omited. This is due to the appeal a coeducational school has over a monosex institution. Some of the schools switches to coeducatin did not work out quite as had been planned. For instance Johns Hopkins University, quite famous for its. medical program, had hoped by going coed, it could give a boost to its humanities program. The university found however, ' that as many female students as male students came to the university to get into the medical program. The tradition of more women than men being interested in certain fields is quickly being broken Johns Hopkins Tias still increased its humanities program, however, because although women are no longer stereotypical in their interest in humanities, they are still twice as likely to major in that field than their male counterparts. The obvious advantage to a coed school is its appeal to the student. More realistic relationships are possible when the students deal with the opposite sex on a daily basis rather than seeing them only on dates. It is a better representation of life outside college than the monosex schools. Coeducation brings the sexual aspect of life into everyday life instead of making it a weekend activity. Men and women learn to live and work with the opposite sex rather than “use” them for recreational purposes. In this way it better prepares men and women for the world outside college. Coeducation also lets men and women know each other as friends instead of putting the demand of a date on them just to be able to talk to one another. The new setup in many schools has also led to many more on-campus activities and flourishing campus life at those schools. Dances, parties and other social activities have repalced the dead weekend campus of the old days when students would travel to coeducational schools for a social life. Having a balanced student population also helps with the execution of many basic school activities such as common schooi theatre. It helps to have both men and women to choose from when trying to cast for a play. The biggest obstacle to coeducation is the ability of the traditional school organizations such as fraternities or sororities to adjust to the presence of the opposite sex. Admission of one sex into a formerly segregated school can lead to problems. For instance the ratio of men to women can cause problems for the outnumbered sex. When women are outnumbered, there is a tendency to be defensive because the casual friendships are too rare. There is an over abundance of men seeking dates. The friendship between the sexes is lost as each week there is a musical chairs game to see which of the sex of the greater number will be left standing without a date. Coeducation is a sign of the times. With the 60s and 70s liberation movements, segregation is not a popular system. It is not likely that every monosex school will go coeducational, but it will certainly become a rare commodity. This is likely to present men and women with more of an education in the area of how to deal with real life once those students get out of school. Campus Digest News Service U.N. DELEGATES VISIT CLASSROOMS "HARMONY GRITS" PLAYS FOR THE U.N. DELEGATES PICNIC DAYTIME ENTERTAINMENT IN THE LARGE LOUNGE The trier Page 2 Opinion sgust and Bewilderment with Student Government Bulent Melezoglu 1 am very discouraged with the direction of Student Government, thus far, and either their dishonesty or their inability to gather correct, very easily found information, or both. As many people know, I was last year's Student Government President. I was a Senator before being voted into the Presidency, and am currently a Senator, as well as the Vice-President of A.P.C. All this has given me a solid background and I feel very well-versed in the ways of this college and the way its Ad-mimistration thinks and functions. I would like to deal with Student Government dishonesty first of all. Or rather, maybe not so much dishonesty as evasiveness regarding the disclosure of just how our Activities Fee is spent. Did you know that a sizeable chunk of our Activities Fee is paying the Veteran’s Counselor's salary? Don’t feel left out:the Senate was never told either. I wonder if the Executive Board had ever planned to say anything about it? To this day we probably wouldn’t have known if two Senators hadn't found out about it. The reason the Executive Board never volunteered the information is that they are well aware that the majority of the students on this campus would not have spent our money that way. Secondly, let us discuss the shifting code of ethics this Executive" Board seems to have. At the end of last year the present S.G. administration decided that funding the College Day Care Center was not the best way to use Student Activities monies, and therefore eliminated S.G. funding of Day Care: whether that’s good or bad I don’t know, and it doesn't matter. What does matter is that the decision was made and voted on, and it was the duty of the Executive Board to defend their position in front of the Administration to the best of their ability and without regard to their own personal interests. All of a sudden the Senate learned from Gene Dunn. S.G.President, that S.G. “had” to pay for Day Care or President Hangen would not approve the rest of the Organizations budgets. Blackmail, you ask? That’s what he made it sound like, but after t my own personal dealings with the Administration over a years time. I began to question whether Dr. Hangen would really stoop to that. I came up with a firm NO after long and careful consideration. So. 1 asked once again why such a firm decision was so quickly reversed, and once again Gene Dunn and Terry Cannon-Wallace assured me that the only way they could’get President Hangen to approve the other organizations budgets was for S.G. to fund Day Care. I decided it was time to go on my own information gathering trek to President Hangen’s office, and to find out what really transpired between the two presidents. Gene and Terry were visibly agitated when they learned that anqther Senator and myself were going directly to Dr. Hangen. I had a feeling something was not quite right, and my suspicions were confirmed when Dr. Hangen told me that he merely asked two things of Student Government: I. That they think about what it meant to cut Day Care, and to present logical reasons as to why they were cutting out Day Care funding. Was the Administration really saying, “How can you rightfully fund a Veterans Counselor and drop funding for Day Care?” The logical conclusion would be to either drop the Vets Counselor funding or pick up Day Care funding as well, or drop, both of them to be really fair. Maybe fairness and honesty is not what this Administration is all about? I began thjj article by expressing my discouragement that the one group of students on campus who should be the most well-informed (namely the S.G. Executive Boardl is quoting information that is totally false and groundless. The S.G. Board of Trustee Representative told me that the College Operating Budget pays the Day Care Directors salary and also covers the rent of the. building which houses Day Care. I was told that this rent comes to $80,000 anually. First of all. College Operating only pays for the building rental, not the Directors salary, and secondly the rent is not $80,000 as I was told, but $7,500. I found out all this in less than 10 minutes, and find it appaling that these people are so ignorant of information so easily available to them. I really don’t understand what's happening with the S.G. Executive Board but it sure sounds questionable. 1 think it's about time they start owning up to their own behind-the-scenes dealings, and let people know what’s going on instead of making it sound as if the College Administration cornered them into making a totally absurd decision.

Here are some common sense hints to help should you get bitten by “the bug." If you have nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea, do not eat or drink anything for 4 - 6 hours after the last bout of vomiting and/or diarrhea. Then start with room temperature, flat (no fizz) pop (ginger ale, coke, 7-up) and saltine crackers. Snack lightly on this for about 12 Hours. Do not advance this diet if your symptoms remain or get worse. If, after 12 hours, your symptoms have diminished, you can go-on to clear soups or broths and dry toast (no butter). Slowly increase your diet back to normal over several days. Dairy products, greasy and spicy foods, should be the last to be added. If your nausea, vomiting.-and/or diarrhea persists longer than 24, hours, notify a physician. You can see Dr. Lapp, the college physician, from I - 2 p.m. free of charge every day but Thursday, at 116 E. First Street. Remember to call our office (962-9257) if you are going to be missing classes. N.E W.S. N.E.W.S. stands for New Experiences in Wilderness Skills. We are the outdoor club for the students and faculty of Corning Community College. We are a major organization funded by the Student Government as well as by Explorer Post 1980 with the Boy Scouts. Our primary objective is self-discovery by employing nature as our classroom to provide an integration of learning, academics, fun, and practical experience. The emphasis is on living and doing, bringing course material to life in real situations; this deals with one’s being as well as one’s intellect. By using a rigorous outdoor environment, it enables one to have an insight into one’s physical potential. As stress factors and problems* are solved, members have a clearer and more realistic view of their strengths and weaknesses in *relationship to themselves and their environment. From the experience it is hoped that the individual will gain a greater desire to accept and take responsibilities and leadership roles. Another product to be gained is a regeneration of self-confidence and self-image. N.E.W.S. is presently committed to the building of an alternate energy structure to ‘be constructed on the Spencer Crest Nature Center. The structure will use thermal, solar and wood energy and will be used as a testing site for alternate energy research. The building is being constructed totally by hand -without the use of power tools. In addition to this major project, N.E.W.S. will sponsor a three week trip (canoeing, backpacking dr biking) in the spring. We will also spend several weekends throughout the academic year involved in various outdoor activities. The club is flexible enough to quench the outdoor pursuits of most individuals. A member need only voice her/his ideas and if there is sufficient interest in the club, we may find ourselves canoeing, rock climbing, kayaking, hang-gliding, -hiking, etc. If you are interested in joining the N.E.W.S. club or learning more about us,.contact Gerette Buglion, Woody Knovrleslgym instructor) or Dave Spaker(Vets Counceior).

Definition Of A Cow An engineer might describe a cow something like this: A cow is a completely automatic milk manufacturing machine. It is encased in untanned leather and mounted on four vertical.movable supports, one on each comer. The front end contains the cutting and grinding mechanism, as well as the headlights, air inlet and exhaust, a bumber and foghorn. At the rear is the dispensing apparatus and an automatic fly swatter. automatic temperature controls, pumping station and main ventilating system. The waste disposal apparatus is located at the rear of this central section. In brief, the externally visable features are: two lookers, two hookers, four stand-uppers, four hanger-downers and a swishy-swishy. There is a similar machine known as a bull, which should not be confused with a cow. It produced no milk, but has other interesting uses. Author unknown The central portion houses a hydrochemical conversion plant. This consists of four fermentation and storage tanks connected in series by an intricate network of flexible plumbing.

A HEAVY METAL The movie "Heavy Metal” was taken from an illustrated fantasy magazine, also called Heavy Metal. The movie was advertised in the magazine months before its release, making all Heavy Metal magazine fans wait in suspense. The connection between comics and cinema is a natural one, both deal in actualized fantasyiactualized fantasy is realistic looking animation, not cartoons). Some of the sexual scenes were a little explicit, therefore the movie was rated R. Heavy Metal took seventy animators from fourteen different countries, men who have worked on everything from Sylvester the Cat to J.R.R. Tolkeins' hobbits! The main base was in Montreal, Canada and everywhere in between the West Coast and London. The writers were for the most part illustrators fro Heavy Metal magazine. It all starts, as on scriptwriter, Len Blum puts it, "from one universe into another” then back. The movie opens with the “Soft Landing” originally published in Sept. 79. Heavy Metals' artist Dan O’Bannon did “Soft Landing'; the sequence is a ’58 Corvette being manuvered through space by an astronaut. The car burns through the atmosphere then gently touches down in four point landing on to the asphalt. The driver speed shifts through four gears roaring up the highway. All this to the top 40 hit “Heavy Metal”, written by Don Feldor. The end erf the film(the grand finale), is the twenty minute long “Taama”, that is the clincher with the hand to hand combat and the good force taking over the bad. Though this does sound familiar, the concept is different. Taama” evokes the sense erf wonder that every animation, sword and sooery, feminist - sf fan desires. All this is smoothly blended together with background music by: Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Cheap Trick, Devo, Donald Fangen, Grand Funk Railroad. Don Felder, Sammy Hagar. Journey, Nazereth, Stevie Nicks, Riggs and Trust. Even though 1 personally found the plot a little shallow and the sound of poor coneiition; 1 still thought the movie was of gcxxl quality for a film of its kind. Heavy Metal is definitely worth seeing.?(cmitJA WarP / MlXll ''Continental Divide'' John Belushi is Ernie Souchak, a sharp penned writer who loves Chicago and hates fresh air. Ernie finds himself set upon by a Senators' hit men because of his column which opens up the Senators' corrupt business practices. So Ernies’ editor sends him to do a feature on Nell Pbrter; conservationist working with bald eagles. Blair Brown plays Nell - a zealous naturalist separated from mankind to join eagle kind. She resents intrusions into her abode and studies and also that Ernie is a reporter. Blair Brown and John Belushi both play loveable characters. However, Ernie Souchak does dominate the picture (while Nell Porter does dominate Ernies’ life from a point, so they do balance out). The visual effects of the movie are very good, and makes one think of escaping to the Nebraska Rockies. Steven Spielberg has done it again. In my opinion, this is a very worth while movie. Go see it.
