Ignoring The Little Faults
GRANTHAM. England (UPI) - Penny Leeson of Grantham says it took a crisis to bring her to her senses.
During a lover’s quarrel, her boy friend poured' a glass of beer over her head, rammed her car then opened fire on it with a rifle.
They'll be married soon.

Night Snow Days
Snow Day policy for Continuing Education students attending CCC in the evening classes has been outlined by the Continuing Education Office.
In addition to the regular snow day policy. The Continuing Education Office says that it is the student’s responsibility to listen to the radio or call 962-9222 or 734-2009 (toll free from Elmira). Students will not be called individually due to the number of students enrolled.
In the event of a snow day, the following stations will be called by the Continuing Education Office:
WCBA Coming; WCLI Corning. WEHH Horseheads: WIQT Horseheads; WELM Elmira; WSYE-TV Elmira; WVIN Bath: WHCU Ithaca: WFLR Dundee: WGMF Watkins Glen: and WCEB FM Campus Radio.
Two students from the Tech Club, Roger Williams and Bruce Hurd, announced their candidacy for ICC President and Vice President, respectively. Asked what prompted his decision to run, Williams said. “I’ve been involved ever since I’ve been here and I intend to continue.”
Their first priority would be to try to stop the planned change in the activities hour. The Ed. Policy Committee is proposing that the free hour be moved to 3 or 4 o’clock. The next problem they would tackle would be to try to increase membership in CCC’s clubs. In line with this, they also feel that ICC’s share of the student activit-
James Tangorre. a CCC student and veteran, paid his tuition last week.
With the aid of Annie Fennell, Tricia Stan. Patricia Butz. Tom Holland. Sue Tolbert and David Kro-lak. Tangorre plunked 3,500 pennies down on the counter in the business office.
The pennies were in six bags — five fifty-dollar bags and one one-hundred dollar bag. The bags were sealed and certified by the bank that bagged them".
The secretaries in the business office were not too pleased. The secretaries tried their best to discourage and dissuade Tangorre hy telling him that they did not have to accept pennies and by making comments showing their disapproval. Unfortunately for the secretaries, Tangorre was a step ahead of them and proved that they did have to accept the bagged and rolled pennies
ies budget should be increased to allow for more travel and activities. Hurd exclaimed. “I’ve heard students complain about the $35 activity fee, but they fail to do anything to take advantage of their share.”
They are both interested in increasing involvement in ICC activities. One solution they offered would be to make the ICC secretary responsible in assuring that all planned events are published in The Crier.
Williams is a past president of the Tech Club, Student Government Secretary, and is presently the Vice President of the Tech Club. Hurd is presently the ICC representative for the Outing Club.
as legal payment for his debt.
The secretaries were not amused. Chaos seemed to reign in the business office. It took nearly half an hour before Tangorre received his receipt.
Tangorre explained to The Crier why he paid his bill in pennies.
He said it was a symbol of taking the weight of the matter off his own shoulders and placing it on the business office counter. Tangorre said he was being unjustly pressured into immediate payment.
Because of this, he said, his grades were falling and tensions were growing.
Second, he said he wanted to make a strong point about his feelings towards the administration. He also said he was undergoing financial difficulties and paid in the cash that was readily available.
Tangorre said that the reason his payment was late
On Friday. Feb. 6, 35 angry students stormed into Dave Frank’s Office to demand an explanation for the school remaining open in the face of adverse weather conditions. It is Frank's responsibility to decide whether to close school.
Students were especially upset with the conditions of Chemung Street and Spencer Hill Road. Frank explained that school equipment had sanded the road and had then . been sent illegally into Corning to sand Chemung, then it broke down. He said that he would write to the mayor of Coming and complain about the city's lack of concern for Chemung. Students felt that the Second St. stop sign should be removed, and also that parking should be forbidden on Chemung.
Frank said that since Jan. 1, he has had to consider school closing on 10 occasions. He admitted that he might have been wrong on three decisions. First, for not closing early in the morning on Feb. 2; second, for closing at one o’clock the same day. and lastly, that he should have closed on this day. It was interesting to note that a few minutes later he contradicted

was that the business office would not accept a vet-teran’s waiver unless he signed a certificate giving Ray Harter power of attorney, Tangorre claims that power of attorney is illegal Harter would not accept full responsibilities of power of attorney. Since the waiver was not accepted, Tangorre was charged a ten dollar late fee.
Tangorre was charged a ten dollar late fee.
Tangorre said he is a-gainst the administration, but has nothing but praise for the teachers at CCC. According to Tangorre, “There are people in the administration, registrars, financial aid and business offices that don’t care about the students. They put in exactly eight hours (no more and no less).”
As for his rapport with the school he says, “I know the school does not like me as an individual, partly because I stick up and fight
himself by saying, “Maybe I made a mistake today, but I'm not convinced I did.”
When later asked how this meeting would affect future decisions, he replied. "Today I met. with .about 30 students who were concerned about the decision making process of closing school. I outlined the process we go through. I tried to listen to each student and to understand the problem from their point of view, although there will be no change in the procedure. My general reaction is that I probably will be more gunshy in the future regarding the decision to close. I intend to take the following three action steps: 1, to make an appeal to the city of Corning for more attention to Chemung St.: 2, to discuss with the Dean of Instruction the problem of faculty absences on days when classes are not cancelled; 3, to discuss with the Educational Policies Committee the individual faculty member’s attendance rules which seem to be in some cases so strict that they do not allow the students freedom of choice in determining whether they should or should not attend in adverse conditoins.”
Vicious Cycle
WASHINGTON (UPI) -Postmaster General Benjamin Bailor said the postal service has been caught up in a vicious cycle — forced to raise postage rates to make up for decreasing mail volume resulting from the rate increases.
Bailor told the Senate Post Office Committee that, as a result of rate hikes, big mail users were seeking alternative methods of delivery, and this in turn reduces the postal service’s operating revenue.
for my rights.” When talking about students at CCC. Tangorre said, “Students have a poor attitude because of the administration.”
As for teachers at CCC, Tangorre gave personal praise to Mr. Muck, Mary Roche, and Dr. Hudson, as well as praising CCC teachers as a group.
One of Tangorre’s mottoes is “One bad apple spoils the crop.” He summed up CCC by using this motto.
“Being a marine,” he said, “I learned at Paris Island that ‘one bad apple spoils the crop.’ The bad apple is the administration. The bad apple must be removed to better the scho-
ol.”
Tangorre says one of his firm beliefs is in school betterment.
The business office would make no comment on the incident.
