Published by the students of Coming Community College The Crier, Thursday, November 1,1984 Volume XXV Number 4 Lundine and Emery Clash Over Issues Jill Emery Photo by Tom Curren/The Crier BY RICK MADL As the race for the 34th Congressional district seat came down to its final weeks, Democratic incumbent, Rep. Stanley Lundine and his Republican challenger, Jill Emery, brought the campaign to the CCC campus on October 22. The candidates traded barbs over major issues of the district during the 90 minute Brown Bag Forum debate held in the gymnasium. And although a shroud of heavy fog covered the building, Lundine and Emery attempted to make it clear where they stood during their openning statements. ' After citing his own experience and independence, Lundine attacked Emery on a variety of issues including the environment, ERA, industrial policy and her Geneseo residnce. Emery said that her main concern would be jobs, and that she would be a “Salesman for the Southern Tier”. Supporting a balanced budget amendment, Grace commission recomen-dations, no tax increase, a strong defense and tax indexing, she then slammed Lundine on missing over 500 votes in the House and voting against President Reagan 75% of the time. The first part of the debate saw the candidates answer questions from a panel consisting of Betty Lou Knapp Nixon, Vice President of the AAUW, Dr. William Thompson, Professor of English at CCC, and Richard Wheat of the Wheat Real Estate agency. Alan Andrews of WCLI was the moderator. The initial question was over the Federal deficit and the best ways to reduce it. Mis. Emery “National Industrial Policy.” Emery thought we needed to bring in Administration people to “show off our natural resources.” stressed the need to keep the recovery going while Lundine felt reductions in military growth and entitlements were necessary. On women’s issues, the two again split, Lundine calling for passage of the ERA and pay equity for women, while Emery supported “legal and economic rights” for women, as well as daycare credits, IRA benefits for houswives, and enforcing child support payments. The two candidates also differed over the subject of abortion. Lundine said he personally felt abortion was “unfortunate”, but government should not interfere with the decision. Emery said she opposed abortion on demand, but felt it should be allowed in cases of rape, incest, or endangerment to the mother’s life. She felt that more money was needed on family counseling. Turning their attention back to the local area, the wine industry and lpcal industries were discussed. Lundine indicated that he was a sponsor of both the' Wine Equity Act and the Manufacturing Technology bill, and that he also supports _ a She also supported enterprise zones and labeled the National Industrial Policy as “socialist.” On the tax issue, Emery supported President Reagan’s tax cut and indexing and charged that Lundine consistently voted to increase taxes for middie income families. Lundine denied the charge. The candidates also disagreed on the matter of a line item veto for the President. Emery supported it while Lundine believed it would give the President too much power. One issue. Social Security, brought the opponents together. Both praised the bipartisan effort to save the system, and Rep. Lundine noted that changes were needed in the Medicare system also. Following the panel questions, each of the candidates were permitted to question the other. Lundine attempted to corner Emery on the whether or not she supported the President’s flood control policy. “Of course I do,” she responded. Lundine later revealed that his policy opposed all the dam projects in the area. Next, questions were solicited from the audience. Topics ranged from aid to the hearing impaired. Central America, homosexual rights to the production of chemical weapons, social issues and DWI. Lively answers and exchanges ensued with the opponents agreeing as often as they disagreed. Mrs. Emery gave a heated response to a question regarding national defense and claimed that Lundine’s national security rating was zero. In their closing statements, the candidates repeated their campaign themes. Emery stressed her Stan Lundine Photo by Tom Curren/The Crier support of the Reagan-Bush ticket and her opponents lack of it. Stgating that Lundine voted the party line 92% of the time, she said his liberalism is out of step with the district. Lundine in turn emphasized his independence saying that he was “a leader, not a follower,” and cited his opponent’s inexperience. All in all the participants broke little new ground, but hopefully shed some light on the issues. “Mousetrap” Captures Audience By Jill Anselm Yet another huge success for the “Two Bit Players” as they presented their rendition of Agatha Christie’s murder mystery, “The Moustetrap”. The show provided an array of entertainment for viewers of all ages. The play, which took place in an English guesthouse, set the stage for the upcoming murder. But who did it? If you didn’t go you may never know. The cast of eight are all highly worth mentioning. From the dramatic Molly Ralston played wonderfully by Amy Fowler to the phony and insane Sargeant Trotter, brilliantly portrayed by Mark Hunt, the aura of mystery never ceased. Also keeping you on the edge of your seat was the delightfully hysterical Christopher Wren played by the always entertaining Chuck Snell, and the secretive, yet suave, Giles Ralston splendidly playes by Vince Delgrosso. Killed off in the last act was the high-strung and sarcastic Mrs. Boyle, played extremely well by Christine Kalinowski. The real policeman, alias Major MetcaLF, was played by the debonaire Shawn Evans and one of the “Three Blind Mice’ (along with Sargeant Trotter) was the depressed and bitter Leslie Casewell, played by the elegant Rhonda Henry. Last, but certainly not least, was the mysteriously intriguing Mr. Paravacini. Bill Baker did a magnificent job making the audience think he was the real killer. The cast were not the only stars of this play. Audience participation was such that the actors and actresses were aware of their presence and used it as their incentive to make their characters continued on page 8 Non-Smoking Area To Be Set Up The Activities Office has received several requests from students for a no-smoking area in the dinning room. In response to these requests, a section of tables has been reserved for non-smokers. Inhaling smoke is a long-term health hazard for everyone, but for some (emphysema, asthma, cardiac patients) it can be an immediate problem. Please be considerate. No police officer will be watching to enforce it. It will only work with your cooperation! The Crier, Thursday, November 1,1984 Campus Paperback Bestsellers 1. kl««»rehof Cwiinri. by T. J Peters 4 R.

FlkHlLY The Crier, Thursday, November 1,1984 3 Steaks, Dandelions, & Mexico City BY PHILIP COVELL Which would you rather eat, steaks or dandelions? If you’re concerned about the growing number of hungry people on ear th, ye’d better consider dandelions. Joe Vikin addressed the topic of “Pop.ilation and World Hunger” at the first meeting of the Issues Forum, which took place just before last break. At its present rate of growth, the world’s population will double in the next 30 years and as you might expea, poor countries in Central America, Africa and Asia are leading the race to choke themselves (and ourselves) out. The US will take 80 years to double its population. You and I still enjoy plenty of space and more than enough to eat, but in 30 years, our gracious living may be steam-rollered by hords of hungry, uneducated refugees from our southern hemisphere. (And they say we can’t control our borders now-in 2016 America will be either a vacuum or a fortress.) Part of the problem, says Mr. Vikin, is that people aa too often on their emotions instead of reason. For example, Columbia’s population will double in the next 25 years unless something changes between now and then. Yet, the Catholic Church (Columbia’s official church) still encourages its constituates to go forth and multiply. Citizens of Mexico City have taken upon themselves the monumental task of increasing their numbers to 30 million by the year 2000. There are only about 20 million in all of New York State, for Pete’s sake. I hope that by 2000 someone puts a good sewage system in that town. So what can we do? Either convince Senior Gomez that he doesn’t really need 12 kids, or become vegitarians. It is more efficient to eat grain than to feed it to the cow and then eat it. And what about dandelions? People have been using dioxin (found in agent orange) to kill dandelions in their back yards. But did you know that dandelion pedals make wine, its greens make salad, and its roots make caffine-free coffee? I didn’t either. Perhaps in 30 years I'll have learned to enjoy dandelions. Issues Forum Are you interested in Brown Bag Forums, Visiting Scholars and other educational, but not necessarily classroom fare? Hee is your chance to get involved in discussing current world affairs on a more personal leveL.The Issues Forum meets in U-210 of the Commons on the first and third Thursdays of the month. Guest speakers will be featured on a variety of topics, including nutrition/Population, the burgeoning arms race, the pros and cons of abortion and much more. It is a place to learn more about not only the world, but your place in it, your responsibilities to it and perhaps to gain new insights into the way you approach it. That’s the Issues Forum, U-210 in the Commons, on the first and third Thursdys of every month. Hope to see you there.

A Message From Pauline Leveen, Chairperson Division of Social Sciences. Haley Is Coming Dr. Haley’s Major Presen- Every program on campus requires completion erf some Social Science courses. Within the Associate of Science degree, one may have a concentration in the Social Science courses. Students sometimes inquire -what are the Social Sciences? In general, the Social Sciences refer to those areas of learning concerned with human relationships either past, present or future, in order to help people understand and control their emotions, fears, or prejudices. Hopefully, the Social Sciences will also strengthen our value system and provide for a better social and political system. In other words, knowledge of the Social Sciences seeks to improve the quality of our lives, and help solve some of our society’s dilemmas. Within the academic categories on our campus which meet the Social Science degree requirement, we offer the following courses: A. Anthropology and Sociology - Thee review the development of societies (including our own), their institutions, culture and behavior. Courses are AN 211, 212 Anthropology, SO 101 Introduction to Sociology, SO 102 Social Problems. SO 203 Hie Family and SO 231 Crime and Deinquency B. Economics - These courses analyze how we utilize and allocate resources. (EC 100, EC 201, EC 202) C. Government - Courses are designed to explain in a realistic and balanced manner our government process. Our contemporary government, its three brandies, and how the voters, political parties and interest groups make demands on the system, are analyzed. The social, historical and constitutional processes should be understood in order to evaluate our government’s performance. Courses offered are GT 101 American Federal Government, GT 102 State and Local Government, GT 203 Constitution: Law and the Courts, GT 203 Organizational behavior. D. History - History’s goal is to give us a perspective of our past as found in human experience in order to help us understand today’s problems. Within the category erf history, we offer courses in HY 111, 112 American Dream and Reality (America’s history), HY 101,102 Western Civilization, HY 105 Contemporary World Affairs, HY 114 American West, HY 217 Far Eastern Civilization: China, HY 241 Latin American History. E. Psychology - applies to those scientific studies of individuals which helps us understand conduct, thoughts, and feelings through the interaction of behavior and mental processes. More simply, psychology attempts to show us how and why we act as we do. Courses in this area include PS 101 General Psychology. PS 207, 208 Child Psychology, Adolescent Psychology, and PS 221 Behavior Modification. Within the Social Science Division are also related course which pertain specifically to occupational programs such as Criminal Justice (CJ), Human Services (HS), and Paralegal (PA) Assistant However, students should be aware that these courses are NOT to be taken for Social Science credit but may be taken by students as free elective credit or for those in programs where they are progrma requiremnets. The Social Science requirement is included as part of our general education and/or liberal arts, to make us more knowledgeable and interested, but the study of these courses also have practical, pragmatic uses. Consult the Dictionary of Occupational Titles of the Occupational Outlook Directory to discover what oc-cupations/careers can be followed with a concentration in the Social Internationally known author, Alex Haley, will be Coming Community College’s second visiting scholar for the 1984-85 academic year. He will be at the College on Thursday and Friday, November 15 and 16, and Ids Major Presentation and class visits will draw heavily on his writings, personal experiences and social observations. Dr. Haley retired from the Coast Guard after a 20-year career and ventured upon a career as a professional writer. His first bode, The Autobiography of Malcolm X, was selected as one of “The Ten Best American Books of the 60’s.” His second bode, Roots, became the biggest bestseller in UJS. publishing history and led to the 12-hour TV miniseries of the same name. He is currently working on Henning, a book dealing with his youth in Henning Tennessee. He has lectured extensively throughout the United States. tation, “The Family: Find the Good...And Praise It”, will be on Thursday at 8.00 pm in the College Gymnasium. His Reaction Symposium will be on Friday, November 16 at 12:30 in the Commons Large Lounge. The visiting Scholar Program is sponsored by grants from the Faculty/Student Asociation, the Student Government Activities budget, and the Coming Glass Works Foundation. These people and 3 million others have something to celebrate. They beat cancer. We are winning.

GEE Students in today’s genetic classes at CCC can sit at a microcomputer terminal and in minutes can simulate the development of successive generations. Where actual experimentation would require investments of time, money and care of the laboratory, the College now has a variety of microcomputer programs on hand which rapidly portray genetic changes over generations. This makes for an exciting, face-paced entry to one of today’s most dynamic fields in biological and medical sciences. A recent NOVA program on PBS showed leading scientists in Russia and America agreeing on one of the great challenges of science today: that the time is fast approaching when we will map the genetic material which determines development of Species - even, ultimately, the develoment of man. Then, through genetic engineering, scientists hope to be able to improve breeds of plant material, and even to eradicate many diseases of man. This is the ultimate promise of the science of genetics, a field of study which has been made especially exciting through the application of the computer as a tod of research. The Biology Department of the College has worked with the Library staff and now offers the latest materials to students who wish to taste the heady wine of genetic research. Mr. Irwin Stein, Librarian, has been most instrumental in providing current microcomputer software materials for genetic studies. Programming for microcomputer-based genetic simulations are used in the course, which is also supported by a collection of the latest books on hereditary inheritance. Interested students should check the catalog and register for BY 231. i CCC Hosts PLS Dr. Lester Rosenbloom announced that Coming Community College has again served as testing center for the PLS (Professional Legal Secretary) national exam held Friday, October 26 and Saturday, October 27.

I grimaced, gasped for air * and sighed. Along with my many responsibilities had come fatigue. The staff was working surprisingly well without my genuine supervision and somehow I had come up short. Short, that is, of a hot happening to report on. Of course the elections are craning up shortly, but people tend to tire quickly when it comes to pohticing. It was then that I remembered the idea of, I think it was James Thurber, of college epitaphs. Therefore, fiction: My small sack of laundry was stuck between pipes that made up the stair rail. I tugged at it and it bounced along behind me until I reached the basement laundry room. The washing machines were busy bouncing themselves all over the room and the driers were busy whipping somebody’s clothes to death. I could smell burning cotton and made a men-tal note to use the clothes lines. Concert Set Mozart’s Coronation Mass will be presented on Saturday evening, November 3, by the combined choirs of Coming Community College and Har-twick College. Dr. James Hudson will conduct the choirs, soloists, The room on the whole was drab, badly lit, and smelling something like April fresh mildew. A pair of tables were pushed into a comer furthest from me with one of two bare bulbs dangling over. A girl I hadn’t seen before was at one of the tables and I quickly took my dusty sack to the table next to her. She had short, sandy-brown hair, small features, (mostly), and a bottle of generic soap. She was shipped over, folding and didn’t notice me until I said, “Small load.” “What?” she asked. “Nothing. Hi. Damn! Do you have a gun?” Humiliation, sweatiness. “John.” “Hi. Bene. Would you settle for a noose?” She held up the rope from her own laundry bag. We smiled then I pretended not to seem interested and began shyly emptying my laundry onto the table. I tried to cover my underwear with my shirts, but a pair fell on the floor and I had to bend to retrieve it. “I don’t know why I wash these dust rags,” I said tossing the embarassing piece of cloth into and orchestra at the 8 pm. performance at Grace Methodist Church, 191 Bridge Street.

There is no admission, and the public is invited. the nearest machine. “Habit,” I added. “Fruit of the Loom; size 28 -32,” she said, laughing. I turned rosey and pictured myself going to the nearest cinder block wall and bouncing my head off it a few times. I went back to sorting and found a shirt with a sauce stain on the right cuff and hurriedly threw it into the machine. “My brother’s. He was up for the weekend,” I said. “Wednesday’s meatball hoggy,” she replied. I raised my eyebrows and glanced toward her. She had nothing I could demean, just clean towels. I couldn’t go on so I dumped coloreds, whites and wash *n wear into the one machine and sprinkled the contents with Tide. “It cleans while it brightens,” I quipped. “..and it shrinks and it tightens,” came her stabbing retort. “Okay,” I said. “Drop the soap and let’s grab a beer.” “Thought you’d never ask. We left right then and I didn’t even start my load. But as we walked away together the same thing was repeating over and over in my head: “...And it makes things sparkle.” continued from page 1 come alive as each member gave it their all.

Presidential election to be held November 6. The voters will march to the polls to click a lever and decide their future. A large percentage eligible will stay home. That’s fine, but if you don’t vote you really have no right to complain. Let’s move on to other matters: IS NOTHING SACRED? Walter Mondale it seems, has stooped very low during the campaign on trying to use the deaths of American servicemen to his own political advantage. He has continually assailed the Administration and has linked the Marines deaths in Lebanon to the UJS. policy there. Some may see nothing wrong with this. However, there is something verywrong about politicizing the murder of American solders for political benefit. By criticizing UJS. presence there, Mondale brought about a divisive and partisan flair to our foreign policy .Searching to “blame” someone on our loss, Mondale revives the Vietnam syndrome, and blames the Americans, Can you imagine Jimmy Carter criticizing Gerald Ford for the Mayaguez incident and the U.S. servicemen who died there? Or Ronald Reagan attacking Jimmy Carter over the failed rescue mission in Iran? That is one thing I admired about canidate Reagan in 1980. Although Carter had trouble during the hostage crisis, Reagan did not attempt to humiliate the President. He kept quiet to preserve national unity, and let the people judge the crisis for themselves. No blame was laid. A President’s actions speak for themselves. Mondale would be wise to heed this lesson, and leave the spirits of American boys to rest peacefully DEBATE OVER DEBATES Do debates benefit voters? Do they clarify the issues? Do they effect the outcome of the election? Maybe possibly and oould be. Despite critics who say the League of Women Voters-sponsored debates are superficial, emphasize appearance over issues, and are nothing more than a double press conference, Presidential debates get high ratings. For many voters, it is the only chance they have to see the candidates face-to-face and compare them. Usually though, the opponents will spout well rehearsed caampaign lines and break no new ground. And what is needed to win a debate; quick, clear answers, a good comeback, and a steady tone, funny quips, and anecdotes, are of little importance to governing. It seems that debates only are able to sway the undecided voter. Most watch debates to reinforce their support for their candidate. Ronald Ronald Reagan broke a tradition, that incumbents with wide leads should not debate, making it likely that we’ll see more in future elections. What about the ‘84 debates? My analysis, Debate One: Ron is to statistical and lets Fritz get away with too much. Fritz is hot and Ron is not. Debate Two: George blows Gerry away. “Kicks some a-.”Debate Three: The Gipper is his old self again, he gives better answers and controls the argument. Fritz looks tired and acts mean. The edge goes to Ron. (The polls are unchanged.) STRAW POLL-If the nation’s moviegoers have anything to say about it, Ronald Reagan would win by a hefty margin. A Presidential Poll by General Cinema Theatres (taken by selling either “Reagan or Mondale” straws) shows the President leading his Democratic challenger 61.7% to 38.3% nationally and 67.5% to 32.5% locally. GOING OUT ON A LIMB— So after its all over, where will America stand? Which states will go for whom? My prediction may not be worth the paper its printed on. I may be wrong. But I may be right, then everyone will say I’m a genius. Oh, well, lets just have a little fun with this O.K.? Here’s how it looks: Reagan will sweep the South, farm belt (including Mondale’s native Minnesota) and most of the West. Mondale will capture traditional Democratic strongholds of West Virginia, Maryland, Washington D.C., and Rhode Island. I believe he will pick up some upsets: Ohio in the midwest and Pennsylvania because of strong union support. I see a Mondale victory in Oregon within reach. Reagan, I thijfJ can pull off some upsets of his own in Democratic country. Among them: New York, Massachusset-ts, and union-infested Michigan. Does this mean a Reagan landslide again? Will Mondale stun the pollsters? Tune in and watch your vote be counted. COME TO INTER- VARSITY CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP MEETING EVERY THURSDAY 1-2 V210 all are welcome I.V.C.F.

NAME__ ADDRESS PHONE__ Drop this off at The Crier office located at U-213 in the Commons. \0 The Crier, Thursday, November 1,1984 Entertainment Video Comer BY WAYNE JESSUP Hi-ho, your hardy reviewer, fresh from the break, actually found time to strap himself to the Sony for an hour or so, and what follows are the notes from that exepenence: All-right gang, the gist of what concerns us today is comedy (or the lack of it), and how prev elant it is (or is not) in video today. Contestant number one is Bad Manner’s “My Boy Lollipop”, a cover of an old ska/bluebeat song, with a rather unlikely frontman known as Fatty Bloodvessel, who will probably become a major star due to his schlepping of every stupid gag from “Uncle Miltie” to Bob Hope, Enough said. Tht major task of this video is trying to decide whether one should laugh with or laughat Mr. Bloodvessel. The song isn’t bad, but even the snappy horn section can’t bring it up to the original. C- Yet another Fleetwood Mac member crosses over to the superstardom this clip is destined to bring, as Lindsey Budkingham takes his “Mac-bucks” and runs with “Go Insane”. Over one of the better tunes of the year, this video is equal parts excellent produnction and lots of big-dollar gloss, but it’s held together by Buckingham’s own skewered pop visions and delightful special effects (note the goldfish sequence). Very clean-could it be the same production company that made the Car’s “You Might Think”? A On a slightly more mundane, but equally engaging level is the late, lamented (at least by me) English Beat’s “Save It For Later”, which takes place in a cafe where dancers compete for space with cafe regulars amid the Beat’s playing of the aforementioned tune. Subtlety abounds and rebounds, and those who look close will be justly rewarded. B Some people can’t get enough of a (pick one) good/bad thing. Today’s gold star for wretched excess goes to Twisted Sister for “I Wanna Rock”. For those of you who aren’t familiar withthe hackneyed plot, ot goes like so-Twisted Sister beats up on a guy who persecutes youngsters for liking Twisted Sister. Oh boy... The guy undoubtedly has good intentions, stupidity is not a crime. For if it were Twisted Sister would be sucking San Queintin air for many, many years to come. Thirty years of television stupity has come home to roost on this video, thirty years of inane stabs at cliche;ridden ideas by third-rate hacks who lived, ate, and slept the pap that was offered and grew up to chum out more pap. On Twisted Sister’s “I Wanna Rock”, television eats its young. F...F...F... That just about winds it out, next time gang - Bowie’s 22minute opus (not the penguin...), Herbie Hancock, Public ImageTtd., and a look at ____ alternate Ask The Gold Dust Twins Dear Gold Dust Twins, My best friend is constantly embarrassing me by giggling and acting stupid around certain guys we know. She never lets me get a word in edgewise. It makes me mad. What should I do? Start acting like her? Signed, Feeling Left Out Dear Left Out, Perhaps in the long-run you are doing youself a favor by not acting like her. Guys aren’t that superficial and they will soon tire of her antics and turn to you for real conversation. If you don’t want to wait that long then talk to her about it. Maybe she doesn't realize that she’s acting like a jerk. If she can’t handle your observation then she can’t be a true friend - so branch out. The Twins Dear Gold Dust Twins, I feel so disorganized and unkempt compared to some of the girls up here. My clothes are not “right”, I’m always losing things, I'm a mess. How can I improve myself? Signed, Messy Dear Messy, Some people are just made to be this way. If you try to chnge it will look phony because it’s not you. You will feel uncomfortable with it. To give you a for instance - one of us is constantly losing things, trailing a shoe-lace or half tucked in. But you can make your sloppiness into an endearing quality that gets plenty of attention and shows your own individuality. So go with it and don’t be just another clone! The Twins. Dear Gold Dust Twins, I’m so ashamed! I feel so em-barassed of my parents. My mother always wears those polyester suits and two inches of bright lipstick. Shes always patting my head and trying to choose my clothes. My dad calls me sweat pea in public, belches out loud and makes a major scene if anyone even blows smoke near him. I almost cringe at the thought of family outings. What should I do? Signed, Ashamed of Being Ashamed Dear Ashamed, Be real! Do you think your folks were any too proud of you when you smeared food in your hair? or threw up at a restaurant? of how about when you pointed at the fattest lady in the store and said: “Look, mommy, an elephant!” Or how about when you explained that Missy Jones was the easiest girl in your class while your mom was having coffee with Mrs. Jones? I’m sure you aren’t their idea of a classic social butterfly, but they don’t pack you off to the home for infantiley rude. The Twins Dear Gold Dust Twins, My best friend is a motor mouth. I mean she won’t shut up for anything. She probably carries on full fledged conversations in her sleep! If you can call meaningless rabble full fledged conversation. I’ve just about had enough. Signed, Considering Homicide Dear Homicide, Well we all ramble sometimes. However, there are always a few who just can’t find the off switch. Maybe she’s nervous when quiet, or perhaps she is just taking serious drags. If it really bothers you, you’d better tell her, buy earplugs, or learn to talk louder than her. Silence may be golden afterall, huh? The Twins. If you have a problem or simply a social bug, write to The Gold Dust Twins for help.
