THE CRIER MAY 14,1987 Vol. XXIX. No. 4 SUNFEST ‘87 It was another smashing success for CCC's annual Sunfest bash May 2! Though cloudy and cool initially, we seemed to have inspired the sunshine to make its grand appearance. Campus clubs and organizations set up an assortment of booths - from fishing games, painted faces, and caricatures, to cake raffles. Student-run Business manned the beer tent and soda stand, while Canteen provided a barbecue feast fit for a king. One of the featured highlights of Safest is the live entertainment, and this year's was undoubtedly the best (totally unbiased opinion, of course). A.K.A., favorites throughout the Twin Tiers, rocked away any doubts about having a good time the minute they took the stage. One of the most talented bands to emerge from the Elmira area, they jammed to everything from Styx to Bad Company (what waste), and I can still hear Donnie Mancuso's impressed "WOW" as they wrapped up Clapton's "Layla" in their last set. Their enthusiasm on stage was absolutely contagious, and after an enthralling performance of their originals, there was little doubt in anybody's mind that everyone in the band will go far. The crowd was prepared for a change in the weather - things always get hotter when Cheater's on stage. Long-time Rochester favorites, Cheater partied with an exuberant Sunfest crowd the way only they can - with that magical mix of classy professionalism and outright craziness. From their infamous Led Zepplin block to their own fiery originals, Cheater commands the stage with more than just the usual pizazz. With original members Jeff Cosco, Kevin McKee, and Donnie Mancusco at the helm (Dave Cohen, former Back Seat Sally recording artist, kickin' out those drums - Stan Pavelites of Pantara fame jammin' on guitar), the Cheater boat was rockin' -literally - for, with mischievous grins, the Cheater clan ordered that a lonesome canoe be brought on stage and, well, the rest is Sunfest history! (talk about "rock the boat"). I'd like to thank everyone involved in Sunfest - from audience to workers - for making Sunfest a success. Special thanks to: Todd Stantz (ya did a hell of a job!), Jason Capporiccio (nice banners, huh?), Patty May (you work too hard), Woody Knowles (for patience, for putting up with "YOU AND YOUR BANDS!"), All the CCC clubs, A.P.C., everyone in the Activities Office, Tony ("anything for you, Jules"), DeDominick, everyone in the cafeteria, Joey, JULIE METAL Kevin, Danny, Mark ("Dennis DeYoung Jr."), Aldo, ("the Hindu-Arabic System lives") everyone in A.K.A., the Sound Around crew, Donnie (congratulations, Daddy!), Dave (they did hear you laugh over the E.B.S. receiver, ya know!), Kevin (WHERE did you learn to (not) catch a frisbee???), Stan (good luck with the new band) Bill (N0< they can't bring the dog up on stage!), and Jeff (I always save the best for last..), everyone in Cheater, and anyone else I forgot to include! Love ya! Julie BARNUM SPECTACULAR "Acting should always be fun - and this was a lot of fun" said a jubilant Mike Huber after the final performance of Barnum at Corning-Painted Post West High School last Sunday night. "I loved every minute of it!" It seemed to be an attitude reflected in the eyes of everyone present at the three-ringed musical - cast, crew, and audience alike. The after-show pandemonium -complete with popcorn, the sounds of laughter, and children toting the colorful balloons that has cascaded down earlier in the show - served only to heighten the exuberant atmosphere. The show was a brilliant success -sets, performers, and music included. Every moment was packed full of action and color. Even the set changes were accomplished, with the help of some talented clowns and jugglers, while keeping within the theme of the show. Some of the more memorable moments: the Ringmaster (Tom Gottko) swooping down from the tent poles: an appearance by Jumbo the Elephant; Joice Heth (Michelle Guiffrida) kicking up her heels; the red guardsmen (on stilts); the human clock; and those wonderfully choreographed dance numbers. Leading actor Tom Hinman (P.T. Barum) has a marvelously clear and rich voice, and Beth Rayeski (Chairy Barnura) is no slouch either. There was definite magic when the two shared scenes and harmonies together. The only problem that one might have had a few gripes about was sound. Tom Hinman has a strong voice, yet was often drowned out by the orchestra. And Beth Rayeski seemed to yell out her lines, thus sounding choppy at times. I wasn't surprised when the couple in the second JULIE METAL row whispered to me, "Gee, why didn't they mike the show?' Most will agree, however, that the fine entertainment far outweighed any minor setbacks. Director George Cowburn, Producer Hank Moonschein, Musical Director David Schuler, Choreographer Mary Jane Stilwell, and Stage Manager Charlotte Lee did a miraculous job of CONTINUED THE CRIER MAY 14.1987 HUMPHREY ON AFGHANISTAN The following report on Afghanistan comes from the desk of Senator Gordon J. Humphrey , U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C. 20510. "In its seven years of bloody warfare in Afghanistan, the Soviet Army has inflicted over one million casualties, mostly among non-combatants — women, children, and the elderly -- and produced five million Afghan refugees. Apply the numbers to our country: Proportionately, they translate into 16 million Americans killed and wounded, and 80 million more living as refugees in Canada and Mexico. What this means is that many your family and circle of friends. Tragically, the Soviets have largely succeeded in hiding their grisly crimes from the world. As catalogued by a number of human rights groups, these include burning civilians alive, bayoneting pregnant women, flinging the elderly from helicopters, and bombing and shelling villages indiscriminately, among other atrocities. The scale is so vast that a United Nations report warns that the war will lead inevitably to a situation approaching genocide'. In spite of these atrocities, for most nations, ours included, it's would be missing from 'business as usual' barnum putting it all together - in less than seven weeks and with a budget that left a lot to be desired. "It was easy to do with such a wonderfully talented and cooperative group of performers," said Director George Cowburn proudly. "Everyone did a tremendous job." Stage manager Charlotte Lee agreed. "It really went well. I think it was a fine representation of the Two-Bit Players CONTINUED and Corning Community College." And a breathless Krys Mankowski, Vice-President of the CCC Two-Bit Players, added: "It was a great shoe -the people, the work - I'm exhausted, but I'd do it again in a minute." Congratulations to everyone involved in the Barnum production. Thanks for putting a whole lot of color into all our hearts --Ya done P.T.Barnum proud! with the Soviets and their puppets in Kabul. Incredibly, Afghan puppet diplomats are still recognized as the legitimate representatives of the Afghan people at the United Nations. The Afghan seat at the U.N. is held by traitors who maintain that Soviet forces were 'invited' into Afghanistan to help maintain order. The New York Times has rightly called for the expulsion of these imposters but its call has gone unheeded by the U.S. and other governments. While we encourage and assist the Afghan resistance in its struggle to liberate Afghanistan, we confer legitimacy on genocide of the Afghan people. By sending these mixed signals, the United States appears weak in its support of the Afghan freedom struggle. Unfortunately, the American people, generally uninformed as to the extent of the carnage in Afghanistan, ask few hard questions of our government. Americans deserve better than a half-hearted policy in Afghanistan.

THE CRIER MAY 14, 1987 DINOSAURS AT LARGE Candidate Soup PJC IN CLOSING The Crier staff would like to give personal thanks to Betty White, long-time advisor to The Crier who retired after the fall semester. Mrs. White had been an English professor at CCC since 1968. We would also like to thank Byron Shaw, for his patience and his work on the compugraphics machine, and Richard Luce, our business advisor for being there when we needed him. Chris Farrar's artwork appears in the University of Idaho Argonaut. Mark Giaimo's artwork appears in the University of Wisconsin at Madison Daily Cardinal. Dear Editor: I agree with you! Until the administration at CCC can prove malicious intent or until she completely burns down a building here on campus, Yvonne Zardezed should be allowed to burn small strips of paper whenever and wherever she wants! Remember, if we nip things like this in the bud, how can they ever come to flower? Bill Smith Editor's note—I do not think Yvonne Zardezed or anyone else should be allowed to burn paper whenever or wherever they want. As stated in the last issue of The Crier, I do not condone what Yvonne did. I strongly feel, however, that the punishment handed out by the administration was not in the best interest of the student body, nor was it comparable in justification to the "alleged" violation.

It is not discriminate. It doesn't care if you are a man, woman, or child. It doesn't care where you live. It doesn't care how make a living. It doesn't care how old or young you are. It doesn't care what your sexual preferences are. It doesn't care if you are sickly or healthy. It kills. Its name is AIDS. WHAT IS AIDS? AIDS is a life threatening condition that affects the body's natural defense system against disease (the immune system). It occurs in people who were otherwise healthy. Individuals with AIDS become susceptible to a wide variety of illnesses, particularly "opportunistic" infections and cancers. The infections are called opportunistic because they usually only affect persons whose poorly functioning immune systems cannot fight off disease - causing germs in the environment. Healthy people are often exposed to these same germs, but their immune systems are able to fight them off. WHAT CAUSES AIDS? HOW IS AIDS TRANSMITTED? AIDS is caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). This virus is transmitted through behaviors which allow the exchange of body fluids, specifically sexual contact and sharing IV drug needles. In the past some people acquired the AIDS virus through contaminated blood transfusions and blood products. All blood and blood products are now screened for the antibody to HIV. This has greatly reduced the risk of transmitting AIDS through blood transfusions and blood products. Pregnant women who are infected with the virus have a high potential to transmit the virus to their unborn child. The AIDS virus is not transmitted through the air or by casual contact. Touching objects handled by AIDS patients or people at risk for AIDS, spending time in the same house or room with a patient or person at risk, or being near such individuals in a public place does not put a person at risk for acquiring the syndrome. WHO IS AT RISK FOR AIDS? Anyone who has not been in a mutually monogamous relationship since 1977 or who has shared IV drug needles since 1977 may be at risk for AIDS. The U.S. Public Health Service defines people at risk to acquire AIDS as anyone who has intimate sexual relations with the exchange of body fluids (particularly blood, semen, or vaginal secretions) or who shares intravenous drug needles (paraphernalia) with any of the following: 1) anyone who has had AIDS or one of its signs and symptoms; 2) males who have had sexual contact with more than one male since 1977; 3) males whose sexual partner (male or female) has had sexual contact with more than one male since 1977; 4) past or present abusers of intravenous drugs; 5) hemophiliacs; 6) sexual partners (male and female) of persons in these groups. WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF AIDS? Certain signs and symptoms MAY be suggestive of AIDS. Keep in mind, however, they can also occur with everyday ailments like a cold or stomach flu. What characterizes AIDS symptoms is that they last a long time (longer than three to four weeks), are severe, and occur along with a general feeling of not being up to par. BY THEMSELVES, THESE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS ARE NOT USUALLY A CAUSE FOR ALARM. A person who may be at risk for AIDS should make an appointment with a physician who is knowledgeable about AIDS for a complete checkup if they experience any of the following: 1) Unexplained swollen glands in two places other than the groin (with or without pain) that persist; 2) Rapid weight loss that is unrelated to illness, dieting, or an increase in the usual level of physical activity; 3) White patches on the tongue or inside the mouth; 4) Difficult, painful swallowing and chest pain; 5) Persistent fever, chills, and drenching night sweats not caused by an illness like the flu: 6) Persistent fatigue, which may be accompanied by light-headedness, headache, or blurred vision; 7) Upset stomach, chronic diarrhea, or bloody stools; 8) Easy bruisability or unexplained bleeding from any opening in the body or from a raucous membrane, such as the. rectum: 9) Stubborn, dry cough not related to a cold, allergies, or smoking; continued AIDS: THE HARD FACTS continued 10) Sharp chest pain when breathing in; shortness of breath doing ordinary chores or activities requiring only minor effort; 11) Pink or purple, flat or raised, painless blotches or bumps anywhere on the skin or inside the mouth, nose, eyelids or rectum that look like bruises and don't heal; HOW IS AIDS TREATED? * Doctors do not yet have a cure for the underlying immune defect associated with AIDS, but many of the infections associated with the syndrome are treatable. Intensive research is under way to find an effective treatment. HOW DO WOMEN GET AIDS? * Women can get AIDS by shooting drugs with a needle, syringe, or "works" that has been used by someone who has the AIDS virus. Invisible traces of infected blood from the last person who used the equipment could enter your body. * Women can get AIDS by having sex with someone who has the AIDS virus. During sex with an infected person, the virus contained in blood, semen, or other fluids can enter your body. It doesn't matter if you have sex with an infected person only once — you can still get AIDS . HOW DO YOU KNOW IF SOMEONE IS INFECTED? * You can’t tell if someone is infected with the AIDS virus just by looking at him or her. * Most men and women infected with the virus don't know they are infected, because they have no signs or symptoms of illness. It can take several years before symptoms develop. * Anyone who has ever shared a needle to shoot drugs could be infected. Researchers think that half of IV users are already infected! * Anyone who ever had sex with a man or women who shoots drugs could be infected. * Anyone who has had many sex partners could be infected - the more sexual partners, the greater the chances. * Anyone who has had anal sex has an increased risk of being infected. (Many bisexual men are infected through anal sex.) * Anyone who has a medical condition which required blood transfusions could be infected. HOW CAN A WOMAN STAY SAFE FROM AIDS? * Don't have sex with anyone if you don't know his drug use and sexual history. * Don’t have sex with a large number of partners; this increases your risk of AIDs and other sexually transmitted diseases. * Don't have anal sex. It can tear delicate tissues, letting infected semen or blood enter your bloodstream. * Use a condom during sex to help keep the virus from getting into your body - unless you're absolutely sure your partner is not infected. * Using a spermicide containing nonoxynol-9 along with condoms may help provide further protection (also keep using your regular birth control method if you don't want to become pregnant. ) *NEVER shoot drugs. If you need help getting into a drug treatment program,* call 1-800-522-5353 toll-free. * NEVER share a needle or other equipment to shoot drugs. * Intravenous equipment can be sterilized by soaking it in alcohol for ten minutes, or boiling it in one part bleach and 10 parts water for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. These cleaning methods are not guaranteed to protect you against the AIDS virus or the HIV virus. THE BEST PROTECTION AGAINST AIDS FOR ALL DRUG USERS IS TO STOP SHOOTING DRUGS! IS THERE A WAY WOMEN CAN FIND OUT IF THEY ARE INFECTED? * A blood test can tell if a person has been exposed to the virus. Free anonymous testing centers exist across the state. Anyone who wants a blood test can call 1-800-541-AIDS to learn more. * Testing is recommended for any women who has shared needles or engaged in high-risk sexual activity. * Counselors will help infected people learn how to avoid spreading the AIDS virus to others, and how to avoid further exposure to themselves. AIDS AND PREGNANCY *A women with the AIDS virus can give it to her unborn baby. * A women who is thinking about becoming pregnant should consider being tested first if there's a chance she might have been exposed to the virus. * A women who is infected should consider postponing pregnancy to avoid giving birth to a baby infected with the virus. * An infected women is more likely to develop AIDS if she becomes pregnant. * A pregnant women should tell her doctor if she thinks or knows she has been exposed to the AIDS virus. She and the baby may need special care. WHAT ABOUT BLACKS? * While Blacks make up only 12% of the population in the United States, 25% of all persons with AIDS are black. In other words, continued THE CRIER MAY 14,1987 AIDS: THE HARD FACTS continued one out of every four persons who have AIDS in the U.S. is Black. Furthermore, one out of every two women and six out of every ten children who have AIDS in the U.S. are Black. Researchers credit these statistics to the use of IV needles in large metropolitan areas such as New York City and San Francisco, where the AIDS virus is widespread. If current trends continue, more than a quarter of a million people in the United States will have full-blown AIDS by 1991. That means that by 1991 67,000 Blacks could have full-blown AIDS. The only way we can stop this from happening is to change our sexual behavior and drug-using habits. PREVENTIVE MEASURES! * The preventive measures for Blacks are no different than for anyone else. If you are sexually active, you should assume that the virus can be, or already may have been, passed on to you by a sexual partner, or that you can pass it on to him or her. Take the following precautions. * If you are Gay, bisexual, or just "fool around" sometimes, you should not allow semen to enter your body or your partners body. ALWAYS USE A CONDOM (RUBBER) DURING SEXUAL INTERCOURSE. * If you are straight ALWAYS USE A CONDOM DURING SEXUAL INTERCOURSE. * If you shoot drugs, seek help, and by all means DO NOT SHARE OR REUSE NEEDLES OR "WORKS"! WHAT ABOUT ORAL SEX? Oral sex can be just as dangerous for contacting the AIDS virus as vaginal sex, both of which, though not as dangerous as anal sex, are still at high risk if your partner is infected. Even the slightest cut on your tongue or lips, or bleeding gums (no matter how minor) can allow the passage of infected blood, semen, or vaginal fluids into your blood stream. The use of a condom during oral sex may seem silly to most, but... WHAT ABOUT CONDOMS? It should be noted that while condoms are extremely important for safeguarding our sexual health, they are not a total solution to AIDS prevention. Researchers have determined that condoms are, when used properly, an effective, though not completely foolproof, preventative against the spread of sexually communicated diseases. Tests show that latex condoms have no pores that would allow passage of a virus. U of Cal/SF researchers have determined that "HIV cannot penetrate the fine membranes of condoms unless they are ruptured..." AIDS ROCHESTER, INC. reports the following information on condoms: "It must be re-emphasized that condoms will only be effective in preventing the transmission of HIV virus if they do not break or rupture... some authorities recommend that a male should not ejaculate into a partner during anal, vaginal, or oral intercourse, even when a condom is worn as it may be broken, ruptured, or have slipped off. Instructions for condom use are simple, but because AIDS is so deadly, they must be followed carefully. Researchers stress that the main reason "rubbers" fail to work is they are used incorrectly: they seldom break due to faulty manufacturing." Some basic rules for condom use from Rochester AIDS, Inc. follow: * KEEP A GOOD SUPPLY HANDY. They should be kept available so they are easily accessible every time they are needed. * STORE THEM IN A COOL, DRY PLACE. They should never be kept in glove compartments or trunks of cars, or a man's wallet. * USE CONDOMS EVERY TIME. Use them for vaginal, anal, and oral sex. * OPEN THE PACKAGE CAREFULLY AND REMOVE THE CONDOM. Tearing it open is one of the ways it can be damaged. Hangnails, long or jagged fingernails, or sharp pieces of skin on the fingers may poke a hole in the condom. * GENTLY PRESS THE AIR OUT OF THE RECEPTACLE TIP BEFORE PUTTING ON THE CONDOM. Air bubbles can cause the condom to break. If a plain ended condom is being used, leave about a half inch Free to catch the semen. * UNROLL THE CONDOM TO COVER THE ENTIRE ERECT PENIS, first pulling back the foreskin if necessary. * PUT EXTRA WATER SOLUBLE LUBRICANT ON THE CONDOM AND YOUR PARTNER. The anus and vagina of the passive partner and the outside of the condom should be well lubricated before entry. Body cavities that are too dry can pull condoms off and tear them, (see "lubricants" below) * HOLD ONTO THE BASE OF THE CONDOM WHEN NEEDED SO IT WON'T SLIP OFF. If the active partner's penis is getting soft, or if the body cavity being penetrated is tight, the condom may tend to slip off. Fingers held around the base of the condom provide an effective solution. * AFTER EJACULATING THE ACTIVE PARTNER SHOULD GENTLY WITHDRAW BEFORE HIS PENIS GETS SOFT. He also should hold onto the condom around the base while pulling out. This avoids spilling the semen or losing the condom in his partner's body cavity. * THROW CONDOMS AWAY - NEVER REUSE THEM! Condoms cannot be cleaned for safe reuse. * DO NOT TEST A CONDOM BY INFLATING OR STRETCHING IT. Condoms are carefully checked during manufacture to find defects. * NEVER USE OIL OR PETROLEUM BASED LUBRICANTS, (see "lubricants") continued THE CRIER MAY 14,1987 AIDS: THE HARD FACTS continued * NEVER GO FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER WITHOUT CHANGING CONDOMS. People having multiple partners should NEVER go from having sex with one person to another without cleaning themselves as well as changing condoms. LUBRICANTS Condoms are destroyed by oil or petroleum based lubricants. Although the latex is strong, it is not refined like the plastic of kitchen utensils. Lubricants containing oil or petroleum such as Vaseline @ or Crisco® should NEVER be used. Any lubricant containing oil or petroleum will cause the condom to "gum up", get holes, leak, and/or break. ONLY water-soluble lubricants like K-Y Jelly(§) , Probe(2) ' Slip^J) , or Astroglide should be used. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS * A major reason condoms fail to prevent disease is because people wear them sporadically, particularly during the first year of use. Condoms can provide protection only if they are used every time. * A condom only covers the penis and therefore only protects the penis and what it touches. Unfortunately, this is not enough protection against AIDS. Infected body fluids that get into cuts, abrasions, ingrown hairs, pimples, bleeding gums or other broken skin may spread HIV. Persons should check themselves and their partner to avoid unnecessary risks. Consider putting band-aids over small problem areas as a gentle reminder during sex. * Condoms need to be removed carefully so microorganisms on the outside do not infect the wearer. The condom should be taken at the base and removed inside out so as not to infect the wearer with microorganisms. Also be certain that semen from the wearer does not come in contact with other person when the condom is removed. Wash hands immediately! Some sources also recommend taking off condoms with Wet Ones or any of the diaper wipes which also have nonoxynol-9 and alcohol in them as this will kill virus. SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MEN * Give yourself lots of permission to experiment and learn about condoms. You don’t have to like or dislike them. Go as slowly as you want or need. * You can’t make wearing condoms feel exactly the same as not wearing them, but you can explore the many pleasurable sensations of latex. Once you do this you will probably find that condoms can be sexy. Also, with a little planning and imagination putting on a condom can be a very erotic part of lovemaking rather than an interruption. * The main thing to remember when choosing the right condom for you is to experiment. Try out lots of different kinds using safer sexual activities such as masturbation and rubbing between the thighs. Be sure to break some while experimenting so you know how much stress one can reasonably take and what it feels like when one breaks. * There is evidence lubricated condoms do not break as easily as unlubricated ones. Lubricated condoms also provide greater sensation to the wearer because they are a little more slippery. * When it comes to size, pick a condom that rolls all the way down to the base of the penis and is snug enough not to slip excessively. A point you may wish to consider is that condoms which fit snugly (especially at the bottom) create a slight tourniquet effect on the superficial veins. This makes for a harder erection and increases the power of orgasm. If you like this effect, go for it. Researchers say it’s safe and fun. APPROACHING CONDOM USE When people are first getting to know each other, there is often a question of whether or not they will want to do the same things in bed. Most of us have developed effective ways of figuring this out so sex goes smoothly. Adding condoms to the list is simply an extension of the same process. Communicate with your partner about your desire to use condoms before you start having sex. Be honest. If you have a hard time talking about sex, leave condoms near where you are planning to have sex so your partner can see them and get the idea. If it’s your style and seems to fit your partner's style, the direct approach might be the best approach, starting with lines like, "What's your favorite?", "I do it with condoms, how about you?" etc. If a person refuses to use condoms, don't fight it. Either do things that are low risk or let the person go. In these days of AIDS, when a person makes a big stink about mixing health and safety with sex, it's a good idea to find a different partner. There are plenty of people who will be glad you are concerned enough about yourself and them to want exciting and healthy sex.

Before you do either, think about this. Experts believe that 87% of the THE CRIER MAY 14.1987 YOGGY BOOK CONTRIBUTOR Gary A. Yoggy, professor of history at Corning Community College, is one of 12 contributors to SHOOTING STARS: Heroes and Heroines of Western Film, a newly-published book on favorite Western stars. The book contains twelve articles by Western film scholars on the major stars of Western films such as William S. Hart, Gene Autry , John Wayne, Gary Cooper, Ronald Reagan, and Randolph Scott. Edited by Archie P. McDonald of Stephen F. Austin State University, the book presents a unique collection and a fitting tribute to the influence of Western heroes on our lives. Yoggy's chapter, When Television Wore Six Guns: Cowboy Heroes of TV, focuses on the Westerns broadcast on tv between 1948 and 1985. His interest developed as a result of a prior fascination with radio Westerns and a paper written for the Popular Culture Association. He has an extensive collection of Westerns on audio and video tapes and utilizes much of this material in a course he teaches at CCC on the American West. The course deals with the historical settlement and development of trans-Mississippi West and the impact of the "mythical" West on American popular culture through art, literature, film, and television. Yoggy continues his research on television Westerns and is presently negotiating to publish a book on The Golden Age of Television Westerns Shooting Stars will be available at the CCC bookstore and Book Marks. THEATER COURSES Interested in theater? Corning Community College will be offering credit courses for those who enjoy professional theater. The first will be a four-day excursion to see plays at both the Shaw Theater in Niagara-on-the-Lake and the Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, both in Canada. Major Barbara and Anything Goes will be seen at the Shaw Festival and Mother Courage, As You Like It, and School for Scandal at Stratford. The two credit hour course is planned for May 27-30 and is limited to 20 persons. Cost for the trip, including tickets, transportation, and lodging will be under $200. The college will cooperate with Corning Summer Theater to offer three courses based on shows offered by OFFERED the professional theater company. Immediately following each play, there is a discussion on the students' observations and responses to the play. One of these courses also offers students the chance to work full-time during the entire theater season as a theater apprentice working behind the scenes in a variety of technical roles. It provides a modest stipend as well as six credit hours. Early registration is advised as there is a limited number of openings. For more information on the theater courses, interested persons may contact Henry Moonschein, professor of English and theater, at the college. ACS LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN The American Cancer Society has formulated a stance that emphasizes prevention and early detection of cancer. This year, the American Cancer Society has launched a campaign which will be a three-year effort called the Breast Cancer Detection Awareness Program. The program is designed to alert women and their physicians to the ease and importance of early breast cancer detection. About one out of 10 women will develop breast cancer at some time during her life. The American Cancer Society is urging women to follow these guidelines regarding early breast cancer detection: -Monthly breast self-examination for women age 20 and over. -Regular clinical breast examinations performed by a physician. -Mammography every year for asymptomatic women age 50 and over, every one to two years for women age 40-49, and a baseline mammogram for women age 35-39. "The goals of the American Cancer Society are to increase the use of high quality, low dose screening mammography as well as to strengthen the commitment of primary care physicians to high quality physical breast examinations and patient counseling on breast self-examination," stated Arun Kalra, MD , Corning Oncologist. During the residential campaign, May 2-10, 1987, crusaders handed out educational leaflets which state, "Now Breast Cancer has virtually nowhere to hide." "It is hoped that this renewed emphasis on the importance of mammography will result in many more women's lives being saved through the early detection of breast cancer in Steuben County," said Pat Johnson, Education-In-Crusade Chairman for this year's crusade.

FINAL ADVICE Reprinted from Dec. 12, '86 Final exams start this Saturday, and as always there are a lot of nervous people around campus. The Crier took a small sampling of instructors around campus asking what advice they might have for students as finals approach. Mike Gilmartin suggested that students try to have a clear understanding of the material that will be covered on the final. He said that students should practice translating questions because a good question will contain an outline for the answer. He also advises students to have control over their writing so they do not ramble. He also suggested that students leave themselves time to rewrite. Finally he said to bring whatever security blanket a student might have, whether it be worry beads or a lucky charm. Carl Penziul advises students to read, reread, and/or recopy notes. He suggested that reading chapter summaries can be very helpful. He added that organizing "small" study groups can be beneficial to some students. Dale Clark stated that students taking several finals should have started studying at least two weeks in advance because it is not advisable to try to study for three or four finals at the same time. He also suggested studying in proportion to the importance of the final on the total grade, noting that some final exams are not as important to the course grade as others. He also said that students should try to quell exam anxiety by realizing that finals are not a life-threatening situation, that if you pull a "D" or an "F" the world is not going to come to an end and nobody is going to draft you. Eloise Streeter of Special Services had several pieces of advice for students entering exams. First and foremost is to be certain when and where each final is. Also to make sure that you do not have two finals scheduled for the same time, three exams in one day, or four exams in two days. If you find yourself in any of these situations contact your instructors immediately so other arrangements can be made. She also advises students to arrive at their exams early enough to get organized and comfortable. Bring extra pens and pencils. If you become ill on exam day be sure to notify your instructor immediately so other arrangements can be made. As important as anything else, get enough sleep and eat a good meal before an exam so your mind can work at peak performance. Herb Geinitz suggested that everyone simply study hard. He, like many other instructors, goes over the material that will be on the final before hand, so students should not suffer from any anxiety. Richard Luce summed up final exam week for many students. "Three Hail Marys and a textbook." Here are some other pieces of advice from The Crier some students might find helpful. Write out the review questions at the end of textbook chapters for stronger retention. Don't study to loud music or MTV. It could be very hard to concentrate on the questions if the last few songs you heard while studying seem to be the answers. It could also be harmful to listen to music shortly before an exam, as the last song heard tends to continued on pg. 18 THE CRIER MAY 14, 1987 KENNEDY ADDRESSES ISSUES The following pieces of information came from the desk of Senator Edward Kennedy. CIVIL RIGHTS—"When the 100th Congress convened, I reintroduced the Equal Rights Amendment and urged that it take its rightful place in the Constitution. Nothing less than this broad constitutional prohibition can end the continued bias against women in our society. I also introduced two other pieces of legislation that are part of the centerpiece of the civil rights agenda this year: One bill amends the Fair Housing Act by adding a workable and long overdue enforcement mechanism to expedite the resolution of complaints. The other measure, the Civil Rights Restoration Act, seeks to close a gaping loophole in four of the most important statutes prohibiting bias on grounds of race, sex, age, and handicap. A Supreme Court ruling in the Grove City College case in 1984 has turned into a quadruple play against civil rights —and it should not be allowed to stand." HEALTH CARE—"At a recent hearing before the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee, John and Michelle Muir, a young American family, set forth the burdens that can befall those without adequate health insurance. Earning a combined annual income of $36,000 when their son, Jesse, was born prematurely,, they were left virtually bankrupt after Jesse's required four-month hospital stay. The total cost to the Muirs? Nearly $470,000 dollars. Their insurance barely covered a quarter of their entire bill. No issue says more about our nation's priorities than quality health care for all our citizens. Thirty-seven million Americans lack basic health insurance... Dread diseases— including the worldwide epidemic of AIDS—threaten the life and health of every American. But these problems are cause for action, not despair. The miracles of modern medical research and biotechnology offer hope for cures to devastating afflictions. .. ... I plan to introduce a bill to improve and expand the national research and public health effort to a level commensurate with the scope of the problem. I also expect to offer legislation that will require employers to provide minimum health insurance for their employees and their dependents...No American worker should have the fear of serious illness compounded by the fear of financial ruin. Employers have been required since 1938 to pay a minimum wage. Nearly 50 years later it is time to insist they provide minimum health insurance as well." MINIMUM WAGE—"A top priority of mine is to make the minimum wage a living wage. The current rate of $3.35 an hour has been frozen since 1981, yet its purchasing power has eroded 27% through inflation. A full time worker at the minimum wage makes only 77% of what it takes to keep a family of three above poverty. I have introduced legislation to raise the minimum wage to $4.65 an hour in three annual steps of about forty-five cents a year, in order to minimize short-run hardship on any firm. Opponents of a fair wage give us dire prophecies of unemployment, inflation, and bankruptcy. But the bipartisan Minimum Wage Study Commission found in 1981 that past hikes in the minimum wage have no significant impact on adult employment, youth employment, inflation, or the viability of business enterprises. A full time job should not mean a lifetime in poverty. Raising the minimum wage is the single most anti-poverty step we can take in America in 1987--and it will not cost the government a dime on the federal budget."

Its' This year the children experienced a variety of field trips, including: —Spencer Crest Nature Center —Ice Cream Works —Rockwell Museum —Corning City Fire Station -Corning Police Station —Benjamin Patterson Inn —The Foodmart —Pizza Hut —Crystal City Bakery Ml of these businesses and organizations welcomed the children with smiles and lots of information. Included in each trip were special programs and demonstrations. First semester CCC practicum student, Mary O'Malia, created a new environment for the children to play in. A "Post Office" was the site of much activity: dressing up; writing letters; mailing letters; receiving and sorting mail; and posting envelopes with rubber stamps; all of which gave the children the opportunity to experience what goes on in a post office. Sharon Robinson, Spring 1987 practicum student, created a farm for the children complete with cows, egg-laying hens, horses, a barn, a garden, and a produce stand. The children were encouraged to dress-up and experience farm life. Several other fun activities were experienced by the children this year. One special weekly theme about dinosaurs was very exciting for the children. The Day Care Center is available to children of both full and part-time students. There are several openings available for Fall 1987 semester. If interested in enrolling a child or for further information, please contact Annette Clarke at the Day Care Center: 962-9341. THE CRIER MAY 14,1987 ‘HUNGER CLEANUP' NETS FAT RESULTS STUDENTS FROM 125 SCHOOLS JOIN NATIONWIDE ANTI-HUNGER EFFORT BOSTON, MA (NSNS) — Las t month's nationwide "Hunger Cleanup", in which an estimated 4500 students from 125 schools around the country hit the streets to pick up trash, paint playgrounds, and perform other community services, raised nearly $60,000, according to the event's organizers. Leslie Samuelrich of the National Student Campaign Against Hunger, which sponsors the annual event, reports that, with most results in and a few individual Cleanups yet to take place, this year's effort has raised $57,000 in aid to the hungry, both at home and abroad. The April 11 event was accompanied by NSCAH press conferences in Boston and Washington, DC, in which students presented the results in a report entitled "Portrait of America's Hungry: The Second Annual Survey of Emergency Food Recipients." Compiled by students around the country last fall, the survey offers a detailed look at the plight of those seeking emergency food assistance in this country. "Students across the country are demonstrating their commitment to serving their communities and fighting hunger," said Samuelrich, NSCAH's National Coordinator. "Their efforts symbolize the upsurge of student volunteerism and activism on campuses around the nation." The volunteers raised the money by seeking out individuals and businesses willing to sponsor their three hours of cleanup work, with 50% of the funds going to the hunger organization of each school's choice. The other half goes to NSCAH, USA for Africa's Indigenous African Relief Fund, and Second Harvest, the nations largest network of food banks. The idea for the hunger cleanup, now in its third year, originated in 1985 with a group of students at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, MI. One of those students was Bill Hoogterp, now NSCAH's Field Coordinator. "After the great reception we had in Grand Rapids from students, community groups, and local businesses, we decided to go national with the project;" Hoogterp told more than 400 student volunteers at the DC press conference. Michigan, as befits the birthplace of the Hunger Cleanup, again led the effort this year with students from 35 campuses donating their services in twelve cities. Some other highlights from around the nation: * 235 students from Northwestern University and New Trier High School in Evanston, IL, raised more than $8,000 for their work at local social service agencies. * Grand Rapids, the original Cleanup city, came in second with 291 volunteers raising $7,000. Mayor Gerald Helmholdt turned out to do his part in the effort. * In Boston, more than 400 students raised $3,000. Mayor Raymond Flynn also turned out to help clean the streets, and joined Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis in proclaiming April 11 as Boston Hunger Cleanup Day. * 230 students in the Minneapolis/St. Paul , MN area brought in $2,100 for their efforts. Twin City mayors Donald Fraser (Minneapolis) and George Latimer (St. Paul) also proclaimed April 11 as Hunger Cleanup Day for their cities. Also topping $2,000 were students in Hartford, CT (prompting a similar proclamation from Gov . William O'Neill), Richmond, VA, and the DC area (where Mayor Marion Berry also pitched in) . The participation and proclamations by various politicians were welcomed by Samuelrich, not only for the recognition factor, but as symbols of the Hunger Cleanup becoming a permanent tradition. "One of our main goals is to institutionalize the fight against hunger on campus, and (the proclamations) certainly help," she said. The results of the second annual "Portrait of America's Hungry" survey were released at Northeastern University, site of the Boston press conference, by Tufts University student Jennifer Vander Heide. The survey consists of interviews with 1,876 emergency food recipients from every region of the country. Among the reports major findings: * 80% of the households interviewed reported income below the poverty line. * 87% reported income which would make them eligible to receive food stamps, yet only 40% actually received them. * 37% of those households with one child or more reported that their children were often forced to skip meals. * 19% reported that they were homeless . A follow-up release of the report will be sent to participating schools and selected media, Hoogterp said. "NSCAH students are now beginning preparations for their major fall event, the annual World Food Day next October 16.

AIDS: cont’d population of Central Africa is already infected with AIDS. 35% of the population there has already died from it. As mentioned, if current trends continue, over 250,000 people in the United States will be infected with full-blown AIDS by 1991. There's no point in being prudish about it.

Ask for the Emergency Person on Call.) STUDENTS JOIN CIVIL STUDENTS JOIN LABOR, RELIGIOUS GROUPS IN DC, SAN FRAN MARCHES AGAINST U.S. POLICY IN CENTRAL AMERICA, SOUTHERN AFRICA WASHINGTON, DC (NSNS) — Students were the second-largest participating group, after labor, in the Mobilization for Justice and Peace in Central America and Southern Africa, which took place here and in San Francisco April 25. Joshua Bornstein, a staff member at the Mobilization's national headquarters in DC, estimated that more than one-third of the combined 200,000 people participating in the two marches were students. Bornstein said that hundreds more risked arrest in civil disobedience actions at CIA headquarters in Langley, VA. PROTEST Two hundred coalitions of student, religious, labor, Black, Hispanic, peace, and women's groups formed nationwide to bring over 1,000 busloads of people to the march sites to protest U.S. policy in Nicaragua, El Salvador, South Africa, and Angola. Organizations coordinating the student contingent included the American Committee on Africa, the Progressive Student Network, the Democratic Socialists of America's Youth and Student Division, the United States Student Association, and the National Student Action Center. Organization leaders hailed the event as one of the largest demonstrations since the Vietnam War. One of the speakers at the DC march was Barbara Ramsby, a student at the University of Michigan/Ann Arbor and a long-time anti-apartheid and anti-racism activist. Ramsby joined a long line of liberal/radical activists at the podium, including the Rev. Jesse Jackson, actor Ed Asner, National Organization of Women President Eleanor Smeal, American Federation of Government Employees President Kenneth Blaylock, and American Indian Movement President Joseph Means. An alternative protest, held by conservative students in the DC area against the Sandinista government in Nicaragua , took place the same day. The students included members of the College Republicans, the the Mobilization marchers, but "an alternative, anti-Sandinista, pro-freedom in Nicaragua demonstration." The civil disobedience action at CIA headquarters, Conservative Action aimed at protesting Foundation, Students the agency's role in for America, and Youth for Kemp. "...the other side is hurting themselves by throwing in every issue on their Central America and Southern Africa, was spiced up by the presence of former first-child Amy Carter, who was recently acquitted, agenda," said CAF/CR along with 14 others member Cindy Holmes.

Her new position will be Vice President for Academic Affairs at Orange County Community College in Middletown, NY. She has been at CCC for four-and-a-half years, starting in January, 1983. Her first position here was Assistant Dean of Instruction and Division Chairperson of General Studies. Prior to coming to CCC Sandra taught in California, Germany, Japan, and Genesee Community College. She feels that the two years she taught dependants of military personnel in Japan were very rewarding and exciting. The year she taught in Germany gave her an opportunity to travel throughout Europe. Sandra was born December 1, year unspoken, (a true Sagittarian) in Brooklyn, NY. Her family moved to the Bronx and later to Phoenix, Arizona. She received her bachelor's degree from Arizona State University. She earned a master's degree in psychology from The New School for Social Research in New York City. She got her Ph.D. from the University of Rochester. Regarding her years at CCC Sandra said what she liked most about her job was the diversity and complex nature, which enabled her to be in touch with both the academic and administrative areas of the college. On the downside of her job is the fact that there are simply not enough hours in the day to do everything she would like to do. Sandra has seen a number of changes here at CCC. She feels the biggest changes are the increased number of adult students and the increased number of female students. This causes a transitional stage in student activities to meet the demands of these new students. Sandra said that CCC has a long tradition of academic excellence and a very deep concern for its students, which is exemplified by its policies, procedures, and programs. She feels that CCC really does care about its students. Sandra would like to be remembered at CCC for trying to organize the areas that she had responsibility for and trying to improve communications between her office, the faculty, and the staff. She would also like to be remembered for her efforts at developing programs that are responsive to student needs. On the personal side , Sandra recently married John Merchant, a man she met on a blind date some time ago. "It was love at first-and-a-half sight," she said. She and her new husband enjoy cruising on Cayuga Lake whenever time allows. She said she would also like to travel more and one day perhaps continue the flying lessons she once started and get her pilot's license. Sandra Mark will be missed here at CCC, but we at the Crier would like to join the rest of the college community in wishing her the best of luck in her new endeavors.

Performance artist, political satirist and eccentric comedian Paul Zaloom began his professional career with The Bread and Puppet Theater. After seven years with the touring puppet Theater, Zaloom began in 1978 to concentrate on his solo work which centers on solo found object animations, paper videotapes , government document exposes and hand puppet spectacles. In the found object shows, Zaloom uses various toys, appliances, tools. packaging materials, and other trash as characters and environments to animate his short, fast, and funny vignettes. A paper videotape is an illustrated scroll of paper that is unrolled in the performance with an accompanying narration. In the government exposes, Zaloom displays U.S. government documents to shed light on how our government functions. He uses his hand puppetry to play with scale and movement, reality and illusion, while dealing with the issues of modern life. The Soho News said, "Paul Zaloom is a master of playful symbolic manipulation. I arrived at "Fruit of Zaloom" cranky and depressed. I left giggling ."

THE CRIER MAY 14,1987 MORE GRADS SEEK PUBLIC INTEREST JOBS MIDDLEBURY, CT (NSNS) -- Contrary to recent portrayals of today's college students, graduating seniors are demonstrating a high level of interest in public service and social change careers, according to observers in the field. James Clark, director of ACCESS, an independent clearinghouse for public service job opportunities located here at Wesleyan University, said that what has been mistaken for lack of interest was actually lack of information. "Before we started out, and students had little information about what public service work was out there, about ten percent of a typical senior class expressed interest in such a career," he said. "Now, some schools have reported that 35 percent are doing so. The interest is definitely there --it's just a matter of letting students know the jobs are there." ACCESS is a career placement network serving to bridge the gap between non-profit organizations, many of whom have limited funds available for recruitment, and students interested in public service careers. Clark, who hit upon the idea for the network while a student at Wesleyan and a member of the school's Amnesty International chapter, said the year-old network now lists some 600 current job openings and has contacted more than 10,000 non-profit organizations. "The non-profit sector is the fastest-growing part of the American economy," said Clark. "It now employs one out of every ten American workers, most of whom are college graduates." The list, which is sent out monthly to subscribing career placement offices and other referral services, includes several nationally-known groups such as Oxfam America, the YMCA International Services Branch, the Peace Corps, and the Public Interest Research Groups (PIRGs). Another new service available for students interested in public interest work after graduation is the Alternative Career Center at the University of Michigan/Ann Arbor. Former UM student Phillis Englebert conceived of the center last year as a permanent version of the Alternative Career Fair the school has held each spring for the past eight years, which traditionally attracts a high turnout. Englebert said that although it has only been totally functional for three months, the center often receives ten or more students in an afternoon, inquiring about job openings with more than 300 organizations, including the Sierra Club, the American Indian Law Center, or the Center for Investigative Reporting in California. While the services of such networks as the Alternative Career Center and ACCESS have undoubtedly played a part in the heightened interest in public service careers among graduating students, many groups who do their own campus recruiting report healthy application rates as well. Organizations such as the Peace Corps and the PIRGs have interviewed, and hired, hundreds of students in recent years. "Last year we hired 171 graduates from 95 colleges and universities around the country," said Susan Rakov, director of staff recruitment for the Fund for Public Interest Research in Boston. "This year, we expect close to 2,000 applicants for positions with the PIRGs." The Fund is the technical assistance arm of the student-run PIRGs, which are environmental and consumer protection organizations, first started in 1971 in conjunction with consumer advocate Ralph Nader.

THE CRIER MAY 14,1987 THE PERFECT TAN SAND OR SLOPE ...BURNED OR BRONZE "To bask or not to bask," says Jason Vogel, author of THE OFFICIAL SUN TANNER'S BIBLE: The Lighter Side of Dark (Acropolis Books Ltd . $6.95 paper), "is no longer the question. But rather, where, when, and how to bask." As a professional sun bather in the constant inactive pursuit of the perfect tan, Vogel knows all the "hot" spots for the ever popular sun-worshipping phenomenon and how to maintain a healthy attitude about it. We are a world obsessed by the quest for a knock-out tan. Whether we’re jumping the moguls or the waves - be it Vail or Malibu -bronze means more than a precious metal. Albeit the advice of dermatologists, cancer researchers and doctors to stay away from the potentially damaging rays, most of us follow the sun for the look that has become associated with health, beauty, and success. In his forward to the book, Craig Glick, M.D., reminds readers to "let common sense and personal experience be your guide. Learn to listen to your body; if it’s sizzling, head for home!"

IT'S SIMPLY NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE. Over the last 40 years, research programs supported by the American Cancer Society have made increasing progress in the treatment, detection and prevention of cancer. In 1986 alone, the Society funded over 700 projects conducted by the most distinguished scientists and research institutions in the country. Which is why, this year, hundreds of thousands of people will be successfully treated for the disease. We are winning. But we need you to help keep it that way. sun tanning because even he admits, "If they're not careful, tanned, healthy Mr. and Mrs. Beach could end up looking like a pair of snake skin boots." So, to avoid the crispy crunch, please note just these few tips to tan by: * Some drugs and chemicals can be photosensitizing, which means that they make you more prone to sunburn, even with just a little sun exposure. Prescription medicines, including tranquilizers, birth control pills, high blood pressure medicine, antibiotics, and oral antidiabetic medicines can cause skin sensitivity. * When choosing a sunscreen look for active ingredients such as paminobenzoic acid (PABA), benzophenone, and PABA derivatives suqh as isoamyl and glycerol. * Vitamin C is important because it helps prevent a blotchy tan. Foods high in vitamin C include citrus fruits, tomatoes, cauliflower, cabbage, cucumbers, broccoli, parsley, papaya, and strawberries. * If you do get burned, soak in a bath of tepid water to which two cups of cider vinegar or bicarbonate of soda have been added , or, cold tea and wet teabags applied topically are recommended.

WHEATON COLLEGE PROTESTS CONTINUE Protests by students at Wheaton College since the school board of trustees announced that men would be admitted to the Massachussetts school have prompted alumnae to join in the protests and to discontinue contributions to the school. The alumnae action was a direct result of last month's march by students, the second large demonstration since the decision to admit male students was announced in January. FINAL ADVICE CON. play over and over again on the jukebox in our heads. The important things are to go into a final exam well prepared, relax as much as possible, don't do anything to diminish your chances of doing well (no sleep, no food, too much caffeine or other stuff to keep you awake, a hangover, etc.), and remember how much more fun the summer-long party is going to be knowing that you kicked butt on your finals. Last month's march was addressed by Jennifer Jackman, state president of the National Organization of Women. Jackman praised women's colleges for offering women more opportunities and support in an educational system in which they still face discrimination. SOS (Save Our School), the student -alumnae coalition leading the protests, released results of a poll that showed that 75% of the students and 70% of the alumnae are against the co-ed plan. The board of trustees is meeting on the matter and is expected to cast a final vote at the end of this month. OFF AND RUNNING WHEN YOU'RE HOT, It's a little early to say that pennant races are shaping up in major league baseball, so let’s say the standings in the American League are a little bit surprising. In the East, the Milwaukee Brewers jumped off to a record-tying 13 game winning streak to open the season, played well for a couple of more weeks, but at press time were in the throes of a six-game losing streak and rapidly losing ground to the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees have been winning a lot of high scoring games, as expected, and their pitching staff has gotten a big shot in the arm from Charles Hudson, former Phillie hurler. Toronto has shown the balanced attack everyone thought they had, and still are considered by many to be the division favorites. Baltimore and Boston are playing fairly well, but Detroit and Cleveland have found themselves already in double digits out of first place, a very unenviable position just over a month into the season. In the West , the Kansas City Royals are getting just what the last edition of the Crier said they needed -the return to Cy Young form of Brett Saberhagan. The California Angels are jockeying with K.C. for first place in the division with the Minnesota Twins close behind. The Seattle Mariners, Oakland A's, and Chicago White Sox are in the middle of the pack, while the Texas Rangers, who got off to a terrible start, remain only 5 games back, exemplifying the parity of the division. NBA PLAYOFFS HEAT UP The NBA playoffs are shaping up to be exactly what the vast majority expected them to be - another confrontation between the defending champion Boston Celtics and the steam-rolling Los Angeles Lakers. The Celtics have a 3-1 game advantage over the Milwaukee Bucks heading back to Boston, where the Celts have won 33 straight. The Lakers are heading back to L. A. with a 3-1 edge over the Golden State Warriors after Eric "Sleepy" Floyd put on an incredible one-man show Sunday to keep the Lakers YOU'RE HOT The National League so far this season has been the Eric Davis show. Manager Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds has been singing the praises of Davis for the last two years, saying he would soon become the most dominant player in the game, "Soon" seems to be now. Veteran outfielder Dave Parker, no slouch himself, has proclaimed that Davis will become the first triple crown (batting average, home runs, and runs batted in) winner in baseball in twenty years. Davis' statistics so far make Parker look like a prophet. He is leading the league with an awesome .390 batting average with 39 hits in 100 plate appearances (as of Fri., May 8). He has scored 29 runs, knocked in 29 runs, and blasted out 12 round-trippers, including a couple of grand slams and three in one game. At the rate he's going, the 1987 baseball season may be best remembered as "the year of Eric Davis". The young outfielder is handling the not-so sudden jump from potential superstar Perhaps the biggest surprise in baseball so far has not been what to superstar well in someone has done, stride. He told a but rather what television someone has not commentator that he done. The someone is was simply doing his the defending World job, which is to Champion New York produce runs. Hell Mets. What they have of a job. Perhaps not done is win with the real frightening any consistency thing is that he is whatsoever. At press rapidly becoming a very fine defensive left fielder to boot. It's a pretty sure bet that if he keeps going the way he has been, Eric time the Mets were two games under .500 and on a three game losing streak, having lost three one-run games to the Atlanta Braves over Davis will be making the weekend. To a lot more than compound the Mets $300,000 in 1988. problems the St. Davis' heroics Louis Cardinals are have kept Cincinnati playing good ball apace with the San despite losing Francisco Giants pitching ace John atop the National Tudor in a freak League West. Houston accident and the is not getting the pitching consistency or late inning victories they got last year, but are still close to the leaders. The Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Dodgers have been up and down so far in the young season, while the San Diego Pad res have been almost totally down, falling 14 and 1/2 games off the pace already. Chicago Cubs are playing excellent ball behind the heroics of Andre Dawson, who came over from the Montreal Expos in the off-season. Montreal, the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the Philadelphia Phillies are holding up the other team and do not appear to have enough horses to make a serious pennant run. from sweeping the series in four straight. Floyd set an NBA playoff record for points in one quarter with a 29 point fourth quarter and finished with 51 points. Standing in the way of the matchup that everyone expects appear to be the Detroit Pistons, who have a three games to one edge over the Atlanta Hawks in the other East semifinal, and the surprising Seattle Supersonics, who hold a 3-1 edge in games over the favored Houston Rockets in the other West semifinal. Both the Pistons and the Supersonics, who upset the heavily favored Dallas Mavericks in the West quarterfinals, have used excellent team play, offensively and defensively, to get to where they are now. THE CRIER_____________________MAY 14.1987 ‘CUP‘ FINALS SOFTBALL TEAM GOES 11-11 APPROACH Check. Check again. Check some more. And when you're done with that, throw another check. That seems to be the rule in this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs semifinal action, as defensive positioning and tight forechecking and backchecking have taken the spotlight away from rapid end to end rushes and free-wheeling skating. At presstime the Philadelphia Flyers were taking a 3-1 game advantage home to the Spectrum after sweeping both games in the Montreal Forum against the defending champion Canadians. The Whales Conference final series has been one of hard checking, but fortunately very little cheap play and fighting. Goalie Ron Hextall, who sometimes thinks he's a forward, has been spectacular for the Flyers in net. The Flyers have received outstanding play from young players and veterans alike to take an advantage no one expected them to after losing stars Tim Kerr and Dave Poulon to injuries. The Canadians, however, are not strangers to losing two in a row at home. They dropped the first two games at the Forum in their Adams Division final series to the Quebec Nordiques and came back to win the series four games to three. On the other hand, the Flyers also held a 3-1 game lead against the New York Islanders in the Patrick Division finals, but had to go the full seven games to win it. In the other semifinal series the pesky Detroit Red Wings have used tremendous positioning to keep the high flying Edmonton Oilers from playing the type of hockey game they like to play. Unfortunately, the Red Wings have not been able to muster enough offense themselves to win the close games, and have fallen behind three games to one after losing two one-goal games at home. The series now shifts back to Edmonton, where the Oilers can wrap up a berth in the Cup finals Wednesday night. Win or lose, the Red Wings have nothing to be ashamed of. They went from having the worse record in hockey last year to the Cambell Conference finals the next, and have given the heavily favored Oilers all they can handle. The CCC women's softball team finished the season at .500 this year with an 11-11 record. Members of the team and their high schools are as follows: Roxanne Doud (South Seneca) Kristine Johnson (West) Beth Kwasnowski (Horseheads) Jennifer Malloy (Horseheads) Christina Phillips (Edison) Marja Savino (Watkins Glen) Teresa Sokolowski (Horseheads) Sue Allowatt (West) Nancy Chapman (Odessa-Montour) Amy Pruden (Campbell) INTRAMURAL BOWLING The team "Tom and Sam", consisting of Tom Riff and Sam Chilson of Building and Grounds, took first place in the Spring semester CCC intramural bowling league, finishing with a 29-7 won-lost record. In a roll-off on the final week, the "B&R Bombers", consisting of Steve Beckwith and Roger Proctor, edged out the "Philbillies", with Phil Sutton and Bill Alleman for second place. Both teams had finished the regular schedule with 28-8 records and identical total pinfall. High averages for the semester went to Steve Beckwith for the men with a 190.03 average, while Maxa Whitford paced the women bowlers with a 179.16 average. High games scratch were rolled by Bill Alleman (267) and Maxa Whitford (245). High handicap games were rolled by Jim Nealy (292), Maxa Whitford (249), Vicki Hoover (246) and Betty Bement (229) . Scratch series' went to Tom Riff (660), and Sherry Marsh (517). High handicap series' went to Jim Nealy (700), Tom Riff (667), and Darrell Westlake (663). The women were paced by Judy Nealy with a 610 series. "Most Improved" trophies were awarded to Betty Miller, who raised her average 13.16 pins through the course of the season, and Bill Alleman with a 27.10 increase. The "Sick and Tired team" of Vicki Hoover and Patti O'Herron received the "Crying Towels" for their last place finish. The Director's Award for hard work and diligence went to 11-year old Nichole Costa. A single exam score may be more important than your hard-earned GPA.
