Hawks and Doves Have Verbal Conflict
Robert Rockwell
The war finally made its rather auspicious entrance onto our campus last Wednesday in the form of a Teach-in, organized by the Young Liberals. The demonstration consisted of a panel discussion in the amphitheater, which was attended by an estimated 500 interested students, followed by a discussion held in the college cafeteria. The three panel members were: The Rev. David Connor, a Catholic chaplain at Cornell. Sgt. Alan Donohue, formerly of the infantry, who served in Vietnam, and Myron E. Tillman, a Painted Post lawyer, who is also a Major in the Marine Reserves. Connor and Donohue represented the Young Liberals while Tillman spoke in behalf of the "Responsible Students for Responsible Actions.” Father Connor, recently was reclassified 1-A by the Selective Service, following his announcement that if he were drafted he would not go to Vietnam. He urged the students at C.C.C. to “keep the arguments on Vietnam going. There seems to be good reasons for dissent on the war—there are many articulate voices in this country that say ‘tommyrot' to the policies of Dean Rusk.”
Tillman, speaking against acts of civil disobedience, that to him seem to characterize the war protests in this country, said, "no responsible government puts down dissent. But we must have limits. Angry civil disobedience is not in the American tradition.”
“We made a commitment to the people of South Vietnam," he noted. “In 1954 they asked for our friendship, and we gave it. If they had wanted the help of the Communists, they could have turned to them. But they didn’t.”
Tillman went on to say, “What
we have tried to do, as the only nation that is strong enough, is to guarantee some kind of self-determination for the people of Southeast Asia. We know from experience that the Communists deny this self-determination."
"Some people believe that if we get out of Vietnam, everything will be all right. I think this is ridiculous. If we leave Vietnam now, we’ll leave a lot of people to be killed.”
Tillman told the students, "Before burning your draft cards and smelling the smoke of what I believe to be sedition, take a long look at the logic and emotions of those who advocate total withdrawal.”
Father Connor stated. “As an American, I feel that turning in my draft card is a legal way of protesting a system I feel is wrong.”
The priest later charged that “anyone who doesn’t support this war has only three choices: go to Canada, go to jail, or lie and say that you will support something your conscience can't accept.”
He said “There are several myths surrounding the Vietnam situation. One is that Red China wants to expand into Southeast Asia. Actually, Red China has vast land and material resources within its own boundaries. It’s like this country before we crossed the Cumberland Gap.”
He also commented "Our state leaders don’t realize that the North Vietnamese hate the Chinese. The Hanoi regime doesn’t want the Red Chinese in North Vietnam. We’re forcing Ho Chi Minh to accept arms from Red China, because of our military pressures."
I’m not so concerned about
whether or not the North Vietnamese Communists take over the (Continued on Page 8, Col. 1)
J. J. Niles Given Warm Reception
Folksinger John Jacob Niles came to CCC Tuesday afternoon as part of our convocation series. In his performance, Mr. Niles brought back many of the forgotten folk ballads, including nursery rhymes and songs from the Elizabethan era.
Mr. Niles accompanied himself on handmade dulcimers, which he had previously demonstrated to the audience, noting the tedious work involved in their making.
Included in his program were many songs that he himself had written. “Black is the Color of My True Love’s Hair,” “Go Away from My Window," "Jesus, Jesus Rest Your Head," and “I Wonder As I Wander” are among the many pieces composed by Mr. Niles during his sixty year career.
John Jacob Niles has been surrounded by music since his boyhood days when his father was a singer and caller of square dances in Kentucky. Niles began collecting folk songs in 1910 in the Appalachian Hills in the Southern U.S.
He studied at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music; receiving an honorary degree in doctor of music. Mr. Niles has published several collections of folk songs and is the author of more than 250 sonnets.
CCC held a reception Tuesday following the concert in behalf of Mr. Niles’ excellent performance.
Mr. Robert Rockwell is pictured here with a small portion
of his art collection.
pletely informing the students of the aspects of college and community life, The Crier has undertaken the pleasurable task of introducing to the students some of the prominent persons of our area. This is the first of a series of articles which will acquaint the Crier readers with some of the unique people which this area is fortunate to possess.
The largest Western Art Collection east of the Mississippi owes its existence to a forgery. In 1960 Robert Rockwell, a local merchant, purchased an alleged Frederick Remington painting for $500 through an art expert friend. Mr. Rockwell soon discovered that the "original" was instead a fake. Mr. Rockwell's efforts to acquire a genuine Remington sparked his interest in art collecting and, in particular, Western Art. Also, his interest may be attributed to the fact that he was born in Western Colorado.
Mr.Rockwell displays his collection in his own department store, which is located at 27 West Market Street. This collection contains over two hundred items. Among these are the works of the famous Western artists: Charles Russell (1864-1926), Frederick Remington (1861-1909), Albert Bierstadt (1830-1902), and Joseph Henry Sharp (1859-1953). Over forty of his articles are by Russell and Remington alone. These include: “Letter to Friend Jess” (pen and ink), “Smoking Up" (bronze), and “One Down, Two to Go’’ (watercolor) by Charles Russell; and “The Arizona Cowboy" (pastel), "Splitting the Herd” (wash drawing), “The Bronco Buster” (bronze), “The Cheyenne” (bronze), and “The Savage" (bronze) by Frederick Remington. Mr. Rockwell also possesses "Grandeur of the Rockies” (oil) and "The Last Tepee” (oil) by Joseph H. Sharp. He bought most of these works in New York City because "cowboy painters” go there, where the money is, to sell their paintings.
tance, Mr. Rockwell's collection has probably traveled more than any other western art collection. He makes it available to colleges, museums, libraries, and high schools in the United States and Canada. He says he does this because, “I want young people as well as older people to see really good American art.” A few of the places where he has lent portions of his collection are Corning Community College, Pennsylvania State University, Cornell University, Syracuse University, Dartmouth College and The Cowboy Hall of Fame, Oklahoma City. One of his most famous paintings, “Grandeur of the Rockies,” by Albert Bierstadt, is in our own college library in the Lena Gillette Reading Room. To give an idea of its worth, in 1895 its mate, "The Rocky Mountains,” was purchased by the Metropolitan Museum in New York City for $25,000. Mr. Rockwell, along with John Wayne, Mr. Kleberg (owner of the famous King Ranch in Texas), and the governors of seventeen Western states, including California’s Ronald Reagan is a member of the Board of Directors of The Cowboy Hall of Fame. There he has on loan over hall of his collection.
Besides his western art collection, Mr. Rockwell is the owner of the finest collection of "guns that won the West.” He also owns the world’s largest collection of Carder Steuben glass consisting of over 2,500 pieces worth over one-half million dolars. In addition, he owns a unique toy collection. These three collections, or parts thereof, are also on display in his store.
People come from all over the United States to admire the exhibits in the Rockwell Store. Even Barry Goldwater made a special effort to have a personal tour of the Gallery with Mr. Rockwell.
We are very fortunate to have such a marvelous Western Art collection so near. It would be rewarding for all Corning Community College students to view such a fabulous collection which one man has worked so hard to acquire.
May all your Christmas wishes come true! Many thanks for the privilege of serving you.

Letters To The Editor
Our Stand
During the year, one or two events occur which deserve the comment of an editor and the stand of a newspaper. Such a time has now arrived, and the Crier must make its stand clear. The circumstances that have arisen make it necessary to clarify the position of the paper. My assistant editor and several other members of my staff are members of the “Peace Creeps” or as they call themselves, the “Young Liberals”. Consequently, the Crier has frequently been associated with this group in the local media, as well as on our own campus. Their position is NOT that of the Crier. The paper is neutral, as it must be. For the Crier to make any other statement at this time concerning the war would be abusing its purpose to remain unbiased in all such issues where we are not completely informed. I feel that, with very few exceptions, no college student is well enough informed on the situation in Vietnam to take a solid stand on either side. Taking sides is a great thing, but only if a person can back up his stand.
The Crier encourages sincerely interested groups on this campus to stage debates or hold panel discussions where they can present the facts that their opinions have been based on and also answer questions concerning the war. We would be more than willing to aid in organizing such discussions. Our door is always open to any interested individual or group who desire our help in organizing these discussions.

Chairwoman Expresses Thanks
Winter Weekend 1967 is now a memory to Corning Community College. I am quite sad that it is actually over. For two months, I worked on that weekend every single day. and all the planning and worrying is done.
From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank each student who helped in some way for the betterment of Winter Weekend. My special appreciation is extended to the Committee Chairmen, who all did a tremendous job. Miss Norman, Miss Henderson, Mr. Brugel, Mr. Thompson, and all other faculty and administration members also deserve a warm and hearty thank you. The Crier also did an excellent job in helping with the publicity, and covering the weekend in general.
I would like to say I had a great time December 1-3, and I am sure that the other students who attended had an enjoyable time also. For those many students who did not attend Winter Weekend 1967, I can only say I am sorry you deprived yourselves of one of the college weekends. It seems very sad that so many people try to please the student body and only a few actually are interested enough to attend. I hope someday, C.C.C. students will WAKE UP and realize these weekends are for YOU. If you do not want them, it is certainly not worth the INTERESTED students' time and energy. Maybe a solution to the entire problem would be to do away with major weekends, or maybe even all social events?
Barb Nattrass
Chairman
Wheeler Speaks On Weekend
I have recently been asked the question many times, "Was Winter Weekend 1967 a success?”. I don't know how to answer this question, however, I have come up with a few thoughts I would like to express.
I feel that for those who attended it was an enjoyable weekend. However, at a school of 1700 regular students, how can a weekend be called successful when only about 200 students attend? This problem brings to mind many questions. Is the problem student apathy? If so, should we continue to spend the students activity fee money on such events? One may think that apathetic students do not care anyway, so why not provide such activities for those who do not care? I think not.
Another question arises. Is the lack of student involvement in such weekends due to the fact that the weekends are not planned with the feelings of the majority of the students in mind? I feel this should be more carefully considered in the future.
A few other ideas I would like to throw out for student consideration are: 1) Should we consider having separate tickets for each event and reduced rate tickets for the whole weekend? 2) Should we cut our weekends as such, and throw one or two big concerts a year, free of charge to students? 3) Why, when students pay $30 a year for activities fees, should they pay another $6 or $7 to attend a weekend?
Might this be one of the things keeping "poor college kids” away from these weekends? And finally. 4) might the $8,600 of student money spent each year on “Big Weekends" be put to better use elsewhere? After all, for that handful of interested students, there is always the Christmas dance, Thanksgiving Dance, Halloween Dance, and St. Patrick’s Day Dance.
I think it is a shame when less than one-eighth of our students attend one of our two "Big Weekends” of the school year. Something is definitely wrong. I only hope that in the future, those planning big weekends will consider some of my ideas.

CCC Game Room Receives Praise
One of the greatest achievements of certain people on the Commons Committee has been the development of an Activities Room. Corning Community College needed a place where students might find diversified activities to enjoy before or between classes. The game room was established to supply the students with a wide assortment of both educational and recreational games.
In order to give full appreciation to the people involved with the game room, I will explain the hierarchy that was established to make the game room what it is at the present. Miss Norman and Mr. Jefferson have given a great deal of time and energy to the establishment of the recreational facilities available in the game room. Mr. Jefferson has supervised the hiring and placement of certain people to supervise the room. I have learned from personal knowledge that Mr. Jefferson had somewhat of a problem in acquiring help to supervise the room, but finally success has succumbed to lethargy. The Activities Room is open from nine to five every school day. Well over $300.00 has been spent for games to be utilized in this room.
Lastly, I would like to pay tribute to the students who have helped develop the Activities Room. Roberta Looms and Gordy Hills have spent a great deal of their energy in the establishment of the game room. Roberta has been the prime innovator in creating the rules of conduct and participation in the game room. Her own unselfish desire to see the game room utilized to its full potential has been a leading factor in the establishment of any rules concerning the facilities of the Activities Room. She has informed me that in time, coin-operated pool tables will also be added to the list of available recreational facilities at C.C.C.
The underlying reason for writing this letter is to pay tribute to the many people who have made the game room what it is today. I have also attempted to remind the student body of the activities available if they visit the game room located in the Commons. Everyone who paid his student assessment fee is entitled to use this room and all its facilities.

Teacher Lectures Crier Editors
A double-column spread, in boldface type, under a boxed headline "From The Editor’s Desk" ostensibly suggests that a reader will receive a challenging message from an editor. This reader evinces disappointment after plowing through such an offering in The Crier, November 17, 1967.
Rather than letting this disappointment fester and grow to a boiling point, it appears appropriate to speak to the editorial’s shortcomings. This is not by way of disclaiming the editors’ (N.B. the plural possessive form used when more than one editor speaks) underlying thesis, but rather to suggest that accuracy of format and information should be touchstones of journalistic presentations.
It would be pointless to take to task the grammatical errors which clutter the editorial; they should cry out to every reader. (If they do not, perchance the editors could carry their admonition to Crier contributors a step farther—they themselves, should take advantage of the good offices of Corning's English faculty members to secure proofreading pointers. Since the “college philosophy" emphasizes a teaching environment for faculty, we, of course, have time to honor such requests . . .)
Just as it seems superfluous here to point out syntactic errors, so it appears annoying to reiterate “factual" inaccuracies. However, should the reader wonder "Lieb-nitz (sic.) who?” He should not accept the editorial’s uncompromising answer. Does not the name Baron Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibnitz suggest a nationality other than French? Maybe the editors would benefit from a German course, as well as from English 101. . . .
In any case, in the future it would be helpful to delete all sentence fragments. If this is impossible, rectify the situation by transforming fragments into sentences.
The editorial desk provides a unique platform from which opinions, observations, and admonitions may emmanate in clear, concise, and colorful form. Hopefully, this position will not be misused, but rather utilized in the best of all possible ways.

Detectives Extend Their Compliments
Dear Editor,
I would like to take time to say that we, the Bum’s Guards, feel the students handled their Winter Weekend very well, in particular, the Keg Party on Fri. night.
Except for one small incident during the party which we did not see, we felt the party was well handled. I feel this was due to the students as individuals and to the fine work of the Winter Weekend committee. But this seems normal for C.C.C. students. During the year and a half that we have been on campus, we have seen many social and athletic activities and have always had the full cooperation of the students.
Again let me say a job well done and keep up the good work.
Very truly Yours,
Sgt. William H. Dundas W. J. Bum’s Int’l. Detective Agency

Teach-In Misunderstood; Peace Creeps Defended
Dear Editor:
Fortunately the words “peace” and "creeps” both have many diverse meanings. We have been able to see a little bit of peace creeping on our very own Campus. “But isn’t this un-American?” Does the Federal Constitution give all citizens in the United States the right to publicly express their opinions? This is an ideal that people cannot expect to receive all the time. Not because of the Federal Government; but because other people believe it to be a right only when you are speaking as an echo. Maybe when one dissents he automatically gives up all his rights. This seems to be the general thought of many of our fellow students, better known as "Responsible Students for Hershey for President,” or something like that. For those interested people, I hear that Dean Rusk and Robert McNamara are planning to institute a new Western series called, “A Dialogue between Gabby and Trigger.”
I do have to thank the majority of the students here at Corning and the faculty and administration for all their support. In my opinion the Teach-in came off fairly well. Of course, very few conclusions were reached, but that was not the intention of such a "demonstration.” The real intention was to do just what was done—to get people interested and to talk about things.
On many different occasions I was confronted with the argument that the peace creeps or Young Liberals were only representing one side of the story. I would like to clarify this a bit if I may. The intention of our group as a whole was to be anti-Vietnam War, antidraft, and in other instances, anti-U.S. Foreign Policy. Our group also felt that we wouldn’t be able to represent fairly the anti-war argu-
Pub or Public Dump?
It is common to find litter and debris in the public dump. It is also common knowledge that when little children are thrown together without supervision, squabbles develop, things are torn apart, and a mass revolt develops.
Have you been to the Spencer Pub lately? Or didn’t you know that there was one at C.C.C.? Maybe you thought the basement of the Commons was where the College dumps its garbage!! If you have had occasion to use the Pub lately, you have probably witnessed something similar to what I saw today. One boy suddenly stood up and threw a glass of milk at the boy opposite him. This boy immediately retaliated by doing the same. At first I thought that it was the beginning of a fight. But No! They were just fooling around. Then they proceeded to move to another table, leaving behind a spattered, littered table. Part of the Crier was torn and dripping with milk, empty paper cups and plates all over the table, whose contents were strewn across the table and chairs. No effort was made by the people involved to clean any of this mess up.
Some people have called C.C.C. grades 13 and 14 of high school, but please, let’s not try to be lowered in their opinion to grades 6 and 7.
Sincerely submitted,
Jack Frost
ment with our limited knowledge of the facts. Consequently we were forced to narrow our perspective to just the Vietnam conflict. We felt that the newspapers, television, radio, and other means of mass media were doing a good job of representing administration policies. It also came to our attention that the only people representing dissent were either groups of interested students like ourselves, or dissenting members (older) of our national society. In both cases these groups were in the minority. This is one reason we decided to start our program with a teach-in to better acquaint our students with the minority side. In fact, we were heckled and accused of being liars just because we were anti-Establishment.
The thing that I think disturbed me the most was that the above-mentioned group, "The Responsible Students for Responsible Actions,” didn’t present any points of view that they accused us of neglecting; instead they decided to attack us as a group. This seems to be the trend of argumentation here. "Some people buy Army Surplus, others earn it.” I personally cannot see where this has any relevance to the war. Even their name, "Responsible,” literally drips with implication.
The IFUHB (International Federation of Unicorn Horn Breakers) will have a meeting sometime, to decide on something different concerning the war. Naturally they won't agree with the Peace Creeps, because they look different, and will consequently have to suffer for it.

Editors Reply
Dear Miss Hodgin.
In regard to your much appreciated letter, I would just like to say this in defense of Gene Garlick and myself. It seems that though we have a large staff and two very fine advisors, most of the work done on the paper is attempted by a very small core of "dedicated” students. Unfortunately, we are all students and most of our time is spent on our studies. Also due to some oversight on the part of the college administration, there are no journalism courses offered here, consequently our knowledge is limited, due to lack of experience. We are at present trying to alleviate this last problem by organizing a field trip to the Syracuse School of Journalism and your support would be greatly appreciated by all of us involved.
We realize, however, that there is no excuse for errors in a school publication, and we sincerely hope that you will take these problems into consideration before condemning us.
We have already put part of your suggestion into operation and have met with a great deal of cooperation from the faculty.
Gene and I would again like to thank you for being concerned enough with the paper to take time from a busy schedule to reprimand us when we deserve it. I’m sure that we accepted it in the same attitude that it was presented and we hope you will continue to be of help to us in our endeavor to make the Crier the best college paper in the state.
Sincerely,
Terry Burgess
Student Expresses Vietnam Opinion
There is a group of students on campus supporting a movement urging the United States to get out of Viet Nam. I do not blame these students for standing up for their convictions. Students in the United States have a right and an obligation to voice their opinions. Therefore, I shall state my opinions, too.
I believe that the United States has committed itself to the point where de-escalation or withdrawal from Viet Nam would represent a concession to the Communist forces. I firmly believe that the United States should bomb the supply sources rather than the supply routes. I also feel that the United States should blockade the port city of Haiphong and other key seaports. These two actions would decrease greatly the supplies entering Viet Nam, forcing the Communist forces to fight in the open where the superior trained forces of the United States, South Viet Nam, Korea, Australia, Thailand, and New Zealand could make more direct contact with the enemy, and decrease the casualties caused by infiltration and guerilla warfare.
Protesters should note that American soldiers have stated that the Anti-War-Demonstrations are affecting the morale of the Anti-Communist forces to a degree worthy of concern. The Communists are capitalizing on the low morale and are using the Anti-War-Demonstrations to their own advantage
I believe that the United States should follow the course of action that will end the war the quickest. If this course of action is negotiation, then I feel that it should be carried out at once. If the war can be ended by further escalation and blockading, I feel we should waste no time getting into action.
I call upon those students who share my views and are interested enough to do something about the deplorable state of morale concerning the Viet Nam War to contact me so that we can discuss the possibilities of a demonstration supporting our G.I.’s in Viet Nam.
Sincerely,
Randy Holgate

To the Editor:
I am writing this letter admittedly in a state of great irritation. I am now seated in what we rather laughingly call the "library”. A library should contain a collection of circulating books, and an area set aside for studying. This should be particularly true of the CCC library. This is a non-resident campus. The library is necessarily the most suitable area for study. Apparently our library staff cannot grasp this fact. Ideally, a student should be able to come to the library between classes, find a suitable study area and accomplish a good deal of his outside work. References are there at hand; the librarians are there to assist us; and the atmosphere is conducive to study.
This is the ideal. However it bears little resemblance to the Houghton Library. It is not a library at all. It is an art museum. The library staff is so hooked on community titilating "culture” that it has lost its perspective. The student on the campus is little con-(Cont’d on Pg. 7, Col. 3)
Young Liberals Fill Gap On Campus, Says Garvey
The Young Liberals were formed through the action of several students who were concerned with the lack of interest and commitment over the controversial aspects of U.S. domestic and foreign policies. For these students, this lack of interest could only be accounted for by the absence of means by which pertinent information could be propagated, and the absence of a structure upon which productive dialogue could be based. The Young Liberals were formed to satisfy what we believed to be this major deficiency at Corning Community College. It is the purpose of the Young Liberals to stimulate interest and action on foreign and international political issues and questions, and to sponsor discussions and activities which will propagate the liberal point of view.
In response to the many questions asked in regard to the Young Liberals, I would like at this time, to clarify our position as it pertains to the Vietnam War and in particular, the Selective Service System. On behalf of the Young Liberals, I present this statement of general policies.
We of the Young Liberals oppose:
•The present U.S. Military conscription system.
•The present U.S. policy regarding the civil war in Vietnam.
•All national and foreign policies which subjugate the good of humanity to the national interest. We of the Young Liberals advocate:
•The solution of the Vietnam conflict through de-escalation or withdrawal.
•The removal of the Selective Service System from the hands of those who would use it to crush dissent and free speech. •National and international policies dedicated to social justice and the right of all people to live under the government of their choice regardless of ideology.
It is our belief that the SSS is an unconstitutional and undemocratic institution in that its policies axe not in accordance with those of a free society. The SSS by its policy of involuntary servitude is in direct contradiction to the principles of the free society which it purposes to protect. The powers delegated to the SSS by the Congress of the U.S. are in the strictest sense, a violation of the basic rights of freedom guaranteed to all U.S. citizens by our Constitution.
Secondly, we object to the SSS in that its powers have been employed as a means of frustrating and intimidating elements of dissent. Under the recent directive of General Hershey, local boards have been authorized to re-classify to 1-A, anyone interfering with the operations of the SSS. We feel that such action is intolerable in a society which regards the right of its members to dissent as of para-
mount importance. We consider the policies of the SSS to be a major threat to the basic rights of the individual.
The Young Liberals are also opposed to the insipid and odius war presently being waged by the administration against the peoples of Vietnam. Not only is this war illegal and historically unjustifiable, but it is also an unnecessary and tragic waste of human life, and a crime against humanity for which history will not too readily excuse the United States for the part it has played in the conflict. The war in Vietnam is of a civil nature, thereby negating all rights to United States intervention. In view of this, the Young Liberals advocate a major de-escalation of our military activity in, or preferably, a complete withdrawal from Vietnam. Such an action would allow the civil war of the Vietnamese people to take its natural course leading to the establishment of a government of popular support.
It is the belief of the Young Liberals that all peoples should be allowed to live under the government of their own choosing, regardless of ideology, rather than under governments supported by the U.S. in an attempt to preserve American interests and the status quo abroad. We would prefer to see America’s wealth made use of by a foreign policy directed towards the alleviation of such international problems as poverty, disease, and hunger.
I would like to state on behalf of the Young Liberals that we love our country, its democratic form of government and its principles of freedom and justice which have, in the past, served as a model to (Cont’d on Pg. 7, Col 3)

Professor Gives A Modest Proposal
Transfer News
Michigan State Offers New Overseas Program
I am very disturbed about the number of student freedoms that exist on campus. Faculty members are ignoring their responsibilities as substitute parents, and steps must be taken to make the dialogue between faculty and students more meaningful. When we close the Commons during convocations, for example, we are only paying lip service to our real duty of controlling students’ thoughts and attitudes. I hope that some of the following suggestions will be given serious consideration.
A—Students should spend more time on campus. If we installed one-way retractable spikes in the parking lots, part of the problem would be solved. The costs of electrified fences might be prohibitive, but killer police dogs patrolling the campus perimeter would certainly control the number of escapes.
B—At freshman orientation, a small transmitter should be sewn under the skin of each student. This transmitter could be programmed to the computer center, and every student’s activities and whereabouts could be immediately checked through an instant information retrieval system. On week nights and weekends, we could adjust the transmitter to record a student’s temperature, blood pressure, and heartbeat. This might help to curb petting and the other types of behavior to which the flesh is prone.
A system of penalties should also be instituted, and students engaging in illicit activities might be forced to wear yellow sweatshirts for two weeks. The letters ‘'D.O.M.” (dirty old man) or “D.O.W.” (dirty old woman) would be inscribed on these sweatshirts in black ink. The transmitters would also enable us to check the number of hours a student spends in the library or in the pub. Monitoring cameras in the library would relay an alarm when a student began browsing through magazines. An electric shock would automatically remind him of his responsibilities.
Attendance at convocations and athletic contests would be mandatory. Hidden cameras and applause meters could help us to evaluate each student with respect to school spirit, attitude, and participation in individual and group cheering at the sports events.
Since every student will be required to go to the game room in the Commons and play at least one game a day, penalties for absences from the convocations or athletic contests would be easy to impose. Any student not attending these events would not be permitted to choose his daily game, but would be placed on the A.D.G. List (Assigned Daily Game). This list could help us to beef up the unpopular games, and thus get maximum use and parallel depreciation out of our equipment.
N.B. In the unlikely event that there is a poor turnout at a sports event or convocation, we should install life-like inflatable dummies and canned audience noises in the gymnasium. Every effort must be made to preserve the image of the college.
C—Students will be required to attend church OR the Sunday night movies shown on campus. They may not like the choices, but students must learn to participate and get involved in things, especially on weekends when they are most likely to get in trouble.
D—Students will not be permitted
to get sick. Any person irresponsible enough to get ill will be required to take a course in the power of positive thinking.
E—Suicide will not be permitted on campus. If a suicide is successful, the student involved will not be permitted to cut any more classes. People who are not successful in their attempts will be required to appear before the Committee on Suicides and Near Suicides.
F—Men and women will present themselves each morning for a cleanliness check. Group showers will be provided so that students will be looking their best for visitors.
G—Breath tests will be taken daily to curb student drinking. When alcohol is detected, a student will be forced to wear a scarlet “A" for alcoholic.
H —Each student will be required to attend at least two dances a semester, and he will have to dance at least four times at each one. No dancing will be permitted between people of the same sex. Students who refuse to comply will be put in casts for two weeks, and this should show them how lucky they are to be able to dance.
I—In winter, all students will be required to wear boots, mittens, at least one scarf, and a faculty-ad-ministration approved coat. Students who disobey will not be permitted to wear clothes for one week, and will thus learn to appreciate the clothes they have.
J—If a student complains more than twice a semester, he will be forced to spend three nights at a local dog kennel listening to the dogs’ howling. He will learn what happens to chronic complainers.
K—There will be weekly notebook checks. Students will be required to use no. 2 pencils or ballpoint pens to prevent scratching noises—only two ideas will be allowed per page. Since erasers encourage mistakes, no erasers will be permitted at any time.
L—Microphones under the pub tables will monitor student conversations. As soon as the discussions seem to be getting frivolous, faculty members will be dispatched to organize, control, and direct them.
M—Every student will be required to watch an approved news program and read an approved newspaper each day. Those who do not comply will be made to read newspapers at least twenty years old for six months. This will give them a sense of history and show them how important it is to keep up with the times.
I recognize that all of these suggestions are not sufficient in themselves, but a start must be made somewhere. If we wait much longer, there’s no telling how far the bearded, irresponsible elements among us may go.
J. Cambridge P. S. Student volunteers for the Campus Informants’ Association (C.I.A.—or the Green Fuzz) will be recruited to implement some of these proposals. If anyone is interested, please contact me.
Help Needed
The Arts and Convocations Committee is now considering speakers for the 1968-69 season. Mrs. Pauline Leveen, the secretary for the committee, would appreciate any suggestions from the faculty and students. These suggestions should be submitted to her at her office in the Classroom Building, 201C, as soon as possible.
Alumni Ass’n Inaugurated Here
David R. Strong, a 1967 graduate of Corning Community College, has been added to the college staff as the Alumni secretary. He is from Burdett, New York, and graduated from Watkins Glen Central High School in June of 1960. In December 1960, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served most of his active duty at the Polaris Base in Charleston, S.C. He was released in July 1964 and was accepted as a student at C.C.C. in August 1964.
During Dave's years at C.C.C.. he was a very active student. Some of the activities he engaged in are as follows: Chairman of the Rules Enforcement Committee, Co-chairman of Spring Weekend, a Commons Committee member. Chairman of Student Recognition Day, Chairman of the Animal’s Concert, Chairman of the Students Activities Roster Committee. Dave was recognized as an outstanding student and he received a silver service pin.
In past history, the Alumni Association failed to get off the ground. In 1965, an alumni reunion was held and was tentatively to be continued annually. Since 1965, nothing had been done until last year when a budget for an alumni secretary was proposed. There are 1,121 graduates from C.C.C. and very little contact has been maintained between them and the college. The main purpose of an alumni association is to maintain communications between the college and the alumni and among the alumni themselves.
As Alumni Secretary, Dave’s main responsibility is to set up an alumni directory and start a newsletter to the alumni. He will coordinate ideas (employment, college expansion, social events, etc.) between the alumni and the college. In the near future, Dave will be sending a follow-up questionnaire to all graduates to find out current information.
Dave is also planning to organize a 10th year celebration to be held in May. He will be working with any interested students, alumni, staff, faculty, and administration in the planning of this celebration. Anyone interested in helping or anyone with any ideas should contact Dave Strong, Room 207, Commons Building.
In order to form a strong alumni association, Dave is asking for the entire support and cooperation of all students, alumni, staff, faculty, and administration. How successful the association will be depends on you. You can benefit from the association only if you support it.

Michigan State University has added a new dimension to its 1968 summer overseas study program, open to college and university students throughout the nation.
Courses in political science, humanities and education have been added to the usual language study programs in various European cities.
Both credit and noncredit courses are offered, under the auspices of the MSU American Language and Educational Center (AMLEC).
Two credit courses in political science are set for London, England; Florence, Italy, and Lausanne, Switzerland.
Although political science was initially offered in London last summer, the popularity of the course has resulted in the expansion to two additional countries. Increased emphasis will be placed on comparative politics in each country where the courses are held.
Two classes in sophomore-level humanities, “The Making of Western Man,” are set for London. Vis-
Scholarships Announced
Mr. Jim Brugel of the C.C.C. transfer office stated that scholarship applications are now being accepted for the fall term of 1968 by the Pulp and Paper Foundation of the State University of New York College of Forestry at Syracuse University.
Professor F. W. O’Neill, Chairman of the Department of Pulp and Paper Technology, advises students to apply as soon as possible both for admission to the college and far scholarships.
The Foundation is offering 540,000 in scholarships this year to students in the pulp and paper technology program. Of this amount, $13,500 will be awarded to entering students.
Individual scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic performance and potential. Qualified students will be awarded up to $750.00 per year or up to $3,000 for four undergraduate years. Renewal each semester is based on the maintainance of a satisfactory scholastic record.
Emphasis in the program is in chemical engineering, leading to a B.S. degree and lucrative positions in industry. Interested students should have a background in mathematics, chemistry and physics.
Additional information is available through your transfer counselor.
its to historic sites and museums will supplement the class work.
Three graduate-level courses in comparative education, focusing on the English education system, are scheduled for London. Visits to classes at English schools and conversations with English educational leaders are featured.
Credit courses in third-year college-level language will be offered again in Cologne, Germany; Paris, France, and Madrid, Spain. Noncredit language courses are set for Lausanne, Switzerland; Florence, Italy, and Barcelona, Spain.
At the credit centers, MSU pro fessors-in-residence will teach and supervise the courses, assisted by the European Language Educational Centres (ELEC) staff at each site. European instructors will teach the noncredit offerings.
All of the courses will run seven weeks, with the exception of the education programs, which last five weeks. Although dates are now being finalized, the classes will be held during July and August.
Interested students can obtain more information on both credit and noncredit courses by contacting AMLEC, 107 Center for International Programs, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Mich. 48823, Telephone 517/353-8921.
Job Placement Gives Intentions
In the Commons Building is an office that will serve the needs of all students enrolled in C.C.C. The Placement Office of the New York State Employment Office is here to help all students obtain part and full time employment. It will not only try and place students in part time jobs around Corning for off study hours, but also full-time employment after graduation.
The various services are free of charge, which eliminates a costly service charge. Interviews are kept on record and references can be retroactive to this file for future employment, if a job is contracted by outside sources.
The purpose of this article is to acquaint all students with this service provided by the college. While it’s true that part-time jobs are extremely scarce at this time, one can never tell (especially in Corning) when something may appear. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, or something like that; see your placement office, Rm. 216, Commons, opposite the Large Lounge and adjacent to the Small Lounge.

Winter Weekend Concert Draws Only 200 Viewers
Why did only two hundred people attend the Mitchell Trio concert? There are as many theories to this question as there are people giving them. However, many of the students contacted by the Crier agreed on three points.
1.	The students probably preferred a rock 'n roll band.
2.	They wanted a well known group with, as one student put it. ‘‘a name we recognize.”
3.	They wanted more events for the price they had to pay and were unwilling to settle for less.
Why was a Folk Group chosen? Barb Nattrass, Chairwoman of the Winter Weekend Committee, stated that the Trio was chosen by the committee when it became apparent that they were the best group available for the $2600 entertainment budget. The trio charged $2000. One critic suggested that the committee may have felt the student body was tired of “name” rock ’n roll bands that did not deliver, like the Left Banke.
Miss Nattrass pointed out in the large lounge last November that Mansfield State had been contacted and that the president of the student govt, had given the Trio a fine recommendation.
Miss Nattrass feels that comparisons between this weekend and last year's weekend are not altogether fair. For example, she says, the Scholar Incentive Awards came out shortly before last year's weekend, thus helping people who might otherwise couldn’t have afforded to attend.
A local newspaper write-up observed:	"Although 	the	 Mitchell
Trio deserves an A-plus, some of the audience’s collective score were a few students who impaired the concert, These few were not
International Club Announces Plans
The newly elected officers of the International Club of the Finger Lakes Region have made preliminary plans for the second annual International Evening and dinner to be held February 17 in the Commons.
Rating last year’s dinner as a success, president Bob Savage of Painted Post stressed the "early planning ought to make this year's dinner-dance an event to remember.”
Food with an International flavor will be prepared, as in the past, by housewives of the Corning-Elmira area who will cook their native specialties.
Mr. Gin K. Gee of the science department faculty will be co-chairman of the food committee. Any students willing to help with decorations or arrangements should contact Fatima Kassamali or Mrs. Barbara Alper.
The International Club, affiliated with CCC’s International Relations Club is also sponsoring a series of lecture-discussions on the Indian sub-continent. Dr. Grant Northrup of Elmira College, who taught in Calcutta, India, as part of a professorial exchange program last year, was the first speaker on Dec. 12 in the Commons Lounge. The second lecture - discussion is planned for January.
CCC students interested in becoming members of the ICFL should write to the club at Box 407, Corning, N.Y. Student dues are 50 cents per academic year.
Future club plans include a series of lecture-discussions on the Near East and an International Show in the spring.
content to heckle, but were, in fact, foul mouthed and someone should have led them from the gym. Nobody did, and the rest of the audience suffered for it.”
David Strong, a former Liberal Arts student and Alumni secretary at C.C.C., pointed out that many student leaders were conspicuous by their absence at the concert. He added, “I was gravely disappointed that almost everyone left after eleven . . . Ronnie Dio and the Prophets are one of the area bands ... the last hour was a waste of money, because they were playing to approximately twelve couples.” Mr. Strong then asked, "Where were the advisors and chaperones when midnight came? What if something had happened?” It is generally agreed that despite the selfless devotion and energy of the weekend committee, the weekend was not as successful as others have been. It is hoped the Spring Weekend committee will take advantage of the Winter Weekend’s experience.
Mitchell Trio Gets Standing Ovation
The real name of the Mitchell Trio’s John Denver is John Deut-shendorf. This and other revelations were made to the Crier at the Trio’s concert. The Trio, which is composed of Mike Kobluk, John Denver, and David Boise put on one of the best shows this college has seen in several years. The boys were not limited to one type of song. Included in their act were songs about love, politics, and "mind expanding" smokes. Among the evening’s highlights were the Trio's renditions of the Beatles’ She Loves You (without the Yeah, yeah, yeahs) and Bob Dylan’s Mr. Tamberine Man. Also well received was an ode, written by the Trio’s John Denver dedicated to Dirty Old Men.
The boys quickly created a rapport with the audience which not even hecklers could hurt. Denver later observed that although they had been to schools that had preconcert kegs, CCC was the first college in some time to give them any such heckling. He was careful not to criticize the audience however. He preferred to think of the two standing ovations they gave the group.

Young Liberals Give Reasons
(Cont’d from Pg. 3, Col. 5)
be emulated and admired by peace loving and freedom loving people the world over. We are, however, unable to endorse the existing international policy as it relates to the Vietnam conflict in that we do not believe this policy to be in the interests of this nation, the principles upon which it was founded, and humanity in general. We are unable to respond sincerely to the call to duty of a country which does not serve human interests. In this respect, we must necessarily be cautious in that during the Nuremburg War Trials we convicted and executed Nazi leaders for the crimes against humanity which they committed while obeying orders, or while doing their duty. Because we are all members of the world community, the question of duty, for the individual, transcends national or personal interests. We therefore consider it our moral charge to oppose all policies and institutions whose actions do not operate in the interests of human justice. As members of the World Community, we are obliged to condemn the United States for its actions of aggression in Vietnam, and hereby declare that our responsibilities lie in wholeheartedly seeking a change in our government’s present policies.

Raps Library...
(Cont’d from Pg. 3, Col. 5)
cerned whether or not “his” college library has the latest silken rugs from the halls of Tripoli, or a $100,000 painting, or the coffin of Cleopatra herself propped up against the circulation desk. He only wants to study and use the facilities he is paying for. He doesn’t need "culture” as defined by the library committee or whoever. He doesn’t need librarians who act as if they should be uniformed in brown shirts and swastikas. And he doesn't need to be insulted by being frisked as he leaves. It’s a library, folks, not a diamond mine.
To my mind, the library is not operating in the interest of the students. This campus is overcrowded. This problem cannot be solved with the closing of rooms and the removal of tables. The solution is not formed in making the student feel unwelcome. It’s his library. Someone should inform the people at the library of this.
I would ask the library staff to loosen up a bit. Make more room for the students, even if it means dropping the library one step below the Louvre. Show a little respect for the students. Try impressing the students with the library’s utilities, rather than impressing the world with pseudo-cultural knick-nacks. Finally I would ask the library staff to give up their apparent attitude that the student is some sort of decoration. He is not. You work for him. Try it.

Dean Beck Expresses Views on Winter Driving
Spencer Hill Road, if not sanded or plowed, and which is also strewn with cars zig zagged across both lanes, makes for a very dangerous highway upon which to travel. In an attempt to alleviate this dangerous situation, the College will institute a new procedure and make some suggestions which will require the full cooperation of all persons driving to and from campus during the times when the road conditions are poor.
When icy conditions prevail cm Spencer Hill Road, or when it is necessary to clear the road so that it may be plowed, traffic will be held up on campus, or at the bottom of Spencer Hill Road. Members of the College custodial staff will control the traffic during these times. Full cooperation by all
drivers will allow for the road to be returned to a condition which will allow more safety and will provide minimal inconvenience to all.
As traffic tie-ups and accidents are often caused by lack of improper tires for driving on snow and ice, all drivers to the campus are urged to use snow tires. The College has been advised by the State Police and Sheriff’s Department that persons driving on Spencer Hill during inclement weather, who do not have snow tires, may be stopped and prevented from driving any further.
For your own safety, and the safety of all other drivers traveling to and from our campus, your full cooperation is enlisted.

Acting Dean of Students
Student Apathy Scored
We have something at Corning very few colleges have: an apathetic student body. School spirit in one word Stinks!
A number of students in various activities have been trying to make Corning more than just a college. They have tried to instill a sense of pride and spirit in our student body ... to make this college a place we are proud to have attended.
There are more than 1,700 students in this school, and the majority of them just sit on their fat derrieres and wait for something to happen. They complain about the weekends, the pep assemblies, the parking problem, the Student Government, and every other conceivable thing on campus. But I fail to see anybody putting forth any effort to help.
The cheerleaders worked hard to put on a pep rally hoping that the students would show some support for our basketball and wrestling
teams. Approximately one hundred people attended when ten times as many were free and could have been there. I know that when the students I play for don’t care, I don’t either. If you don’t care enough to support our teams, how can you expect them to put forth their best efforts in a basketball game or a wrestling match?
We have a beautiful campus and the faculty and administration are quite liberal. Why is it that our student body is so ignorant and apathetic?
It takes YOU, the students, to show some interest in this school. School spirit not only involves yelling at basketball games, but it also means keeping the pub clean, attending Student Government, and in general, caring about what happens at your school.
Voice your opinions, show some school spirit, and you'll find out just what a college should be.

John Jacob Niles --A True Man
SPORTS OF ALL SORTS
Grapplers Roll, Hoopsters Fall
The Barons of Corning Community College opened the season in fine fashion by trouncing Morrisville Technical College, 86-57. In doing so, everyone on the twelve man squad got into the scoring act led by Gordon Hills (17 pts.) and Major Roberts (16 pts.). Major, not only scored, but was an awesome giant (5'7") on defense. His many steals led to basket after basket by the Barons. Ron Childs and Mike Cullen both played a fine game in the backcourt, and Mike Wolf was a power of strength under the backboards.
In the second, the reserves played much of the time with Bob Mann, Mike Amisano, Dennie

country, I think the country’s hatred of the Chinese would make it a strong bastion against any possible expansion by the Red Chinese.” “Our leaders apparently fail to realize that communism is changing, that there are many different kinds of communism, not just Russian and Chinese.”
When asked if he is pro-Communist, Father Connor replied, “No, I’m pro-people. I think we should get out of Vietnam and let the people decide what kind of government they want.”
Asked about possible peace overtures by the Reds Father Connor replied, “Why should the North Vietnamese want to negotiate? They think they’re winning. Besides, why would they want to deal with us, we’re outsiders.”
Tillman replied, “If those, like the Rev. Connor, who are opposing the war can talk us into withdrawing, then why should the Communists seek negotiations? I think our protests are prolonging the war.” Donohue, having served with the 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam for 11 months, said, “I won’t go back. There are two political groups struggling for the control of the Vietnamese people—the Viet Cong and Saigon—and I have no sympathy with either.
“If the Vietnamese want a certain kind of government, don’t you think it’s up to them to decide, and not China, Russia, or the United States?”
He then added, "I went to Vietnam because I thought we were helping the South Vietnamese people. I don’t think so anymore.”
He urged the students to "care about the war and think about it carefully. Before you decide how you stand, remember that decision could stay with you for the rest of your life.”
The obvious intention of the teach-in was to create interest on the campus and to introduce students to some of the recognized theories relating to the war. There certainly was a large degree of participation, but whether or not this involvement is good or not is yet to be seen. I refer you to a number of comments I heard that went something like this: 	“I
thought I had my opinion all ready but I think it changed about twenty different times today. First one speaker would reinforce my theory, then another would present something new and I’d really be confused. I think I’m worse off now than I was before.”
The teach-in which had really been scheduled for Monday, turned into a three day-affair. Monday a
Adams, Tom Olander, and Rick Tadder looking very well. In beating Morrisville the Barons displayed a well-balanced attack. With this, Coach Bulkley should be optimistic about the 1967-68 season.
Before a capacity crowd at Alfred Tech’s gym, Coming fought back from a twenty point deficit at half time, only to lose in the final seconds by two points. The officials' whistle was blowing all night as a total of nine players fouled out and three technical fouls were called. Major Roberts put on a dazzling floor show with his amazing dribbling and fancy shooting. When he fouled out with about one minute left, Major received a standing ovation.
ballot was presented to the students to see just what the majority of the students actually felt. The vote came out fairly equal, even though it was thought to have been padded by certain fanatical members of the pro war group whom we are led to believe could not restrain themselves. Much controversy has arisen over the three selections on the ballot which were:
(1.) De-escalate. Stop the bombing, seek negotiations with the Viet Cong: Pursue new initiatives for peace.
(2.) Escalate. Press for military victory no matter what the costs.
(3.) Withdraw U.S. troops and leave the Vietnamese to settle their own affairs.
Many of the students felt that none of these alternatives were acceptable. Mr. Tillman even made note of this in his speech in the amphitheater Wed. In order to clear the air, I would just like to say this; any ballot that tried to present all the alternatives would be too long to be practical. The Young Liberals that manned the ballot-box, reminded everyone who took a ballot that if their particular theory was not represented that they should feel free to write their choice or choices on the back.
Corning is at last involved in world affairs. We should stay concerned but not let our campus turn into a battle-field for everyone's petty griefs.
W.A.A. Compete In Field Day
The Volleyball team jumped high and the bowling team rolled hard in tight competition at Ithaca College on November 18, during Corning's W.A.A. third sportsday.
The dance classes also attended a workshop conducted by Miss Barbara Nash, who is an Associate Professor at Syracuse University.
In volleyball competition, Corning beat Cortland two straight games by scores of 12-2 and 13-6. Corning then lost to Ithaca by scores of 12-2 and 13-9. Finally, when the team was in competition with Harpur, Corning won two games by scores of 15-3 and 14-5. Ithaca lost to Cortland and Corning beat Cortland. Corning's volleyball team is still undefeated in sportsday competition.
In bowling, Nancy Cuyler bowled a 192 and Karen Martino had a triple of 510, including a 202 game. Corning lost to Ithaca by a slim margin. The team beat Harpur and Cortland by rolling total pins of 2250.
The Pioneers ancient gym with its cement floor made shooting hard. The team started practicing two hours before the game started but could not get the feel of the floor until the second half. Alfred’s foul shooting won the game as they made 37 shots from the charity line, while Corning made only 21. A total of 65 fouls were called, most in the second half, when Corning, using a full court press, was fighting back.
Led by co-captains Chuck Reynolds and Scott Stever, the mighty Red Barons, coached by Ed Michaels, have lived up to all pre-ex-pectations and are currently on their way to another successful season. In the first match of the season, Harry Hall’s upset pin of his highly regarded opponent plus Reynold’s decision enabled the musclemen to squeak by Morrisville, last season’s league champs.
In the seasons second match, Mansfield State's Freshmen squad gave the Barons a scare. Going into the evening’s final two matches. Corning needed two pins for a victory. Freshman Rick Mosch gave the Barons five points, pinning his opponent early in the second period. This set the decision of the match solely on the broad shoulders of the heavyweights, where Corning has the best going. Big
I met John Jacob Niles last night, and I can truthfully say that the 30 minute interview was at least an hour too short. He was truthful, open, sincere, and at times very funny. This man has within him a portion of the Earth; it radiates from his heart and music. He sings from the soul. "I sing from the inside out. A person can’t sing from the outside in, it just won’t work. If you sing folk songs and don’t deliver a message; you don’t do anything.”
There is a magnetic attraction to this man and his music, you have to like him, and if you like him you like his music.
Bom in Louisville, Kentucky, he acquired his musical education both here and abroad—at the Cincinnati Conservatory which recently awarded him an honorary Doctorate of Music, and the University and Conservatory at Lyons, France.
His collection of American Folk music, begun before World War I, is the largest private collection in the United States. Most of his compositions are based on the Gregorian System, one that has been used

by the church for centuries. His most famous songs. “Black is the Color of My True Love’s Hair,” “I Wonder As I Wander,” and "Go 'Way From My Window,” are world famous and translated into many different languages. “Black Is the Color of My True Love’s Hair," has been translated into 32 languages.
“A number of my songs, when they first appeared were not immediately acclaimed,” Mr. Niles stated. “The Cincinnati Conservatory of Music even went so far as to say that they didn’t like, “Black Is the Color of My True Love’s Hair,” simply because it doesn’t end on ‘do’.” Something which music students must follow religiously.
His music is simple; so simple that it is beautiful in its simplicity. He can hold his audience captivated with charm and music for hours on end. and still receive clamorings for more; this is the legend, legacy, and charm of John Jacob Niles.
A true Kentucky gentleman, M Niles won the hearts of Corning with his music, his personality, and his love for the simplicity of a good song. "His music,” writes critic Ronald D. Scofield, “seems to have lived down the centuries, and through his collection of folk music and his incomparable recorded performances will live through generations to come.”
