Volume XIII, No. 7 Corning Community College October 27, 1972 Winter and Company Rockin’ Up a Storm . . . by CHRIS MORTON Last Saturday night’s concert was highlighted by the explosive Blues Rock of Edgar Winter and Company, which brought a sellout crown of 2,500 pot smoking music lovers to their feet, screaming for more. The group, which has no set name as yet, features Chuck Ruff on drums, Dan Hartman doing bass and vocals, Edgar Winter singing lead and playing the keyboards and brass with Ronnie Montrose doing a superfine job on lead guitar. They started playing steady together on New Year's Day, 1972, and have been going strong ever since. The only sentiments they express are a lack of time off. Winter, for example, complains that since they have gone on the road, he has had no time to practice his playing. Winter who is 25 years old and legally blind, dropped out of school in his senior year. “I did graduate though, and I want ed to go on to college to study music related fields and maybe some electronics. But I never really got to it.” Winter claims that because of so much road work that he hasn't been able to practice in years. But with his performance such that it was, I really don’t think anybody noticed. Winter’s present group started on January first of this year when White Trash broke up. When asked why, Winter attributed it to Trash’s unwillingness to change. “We were always doing the same songs that had been played thousands of times already. I just wanted a chance to do some more original stuff.” Now he has that chance. After months of swapping drummers and guitars players, he has come up with a combination which he is totally satisfied with. Their first album together is to released shortly and it promises to be a mauler. Featured on the album is a great deal of diversified synthesiser with a song or two for everyone. For all the Mother of America there is the quiet, rolling "Autumn" which is offset with the sex-violence cuts of “Undercover Man" and Frankenstein” which was done by the group at our concert, featuring Winter on the moog. For you Country Rock fans they have a cut called "Round and Round”, and for you people that get it on with Boogie, they do a cut called "Rock-n-Roll, Boogie Woogie Blues.” We asked Edgar what he ultimately planned to do. “I really want to do some high intensity Rock-n-Roll (on stage) and some more original stuff in the studio .. . material for recording should be, and in most cases is (with most groups) completely different, particularly when the group is trying to do their new thing which has never been recorded.” Winter sighted as a reason for this, the fan’s general attitude toward (Continued on Page 9) THE CRIER-Oct. 27, 1972-Page 2 Black on White by JIM STYLES Again this semester Spart students have exhibited exceptional educational achievement at Corn ing Community College.

It’s one of those rare albums that cause you to have “gigantic revelations on life." Move over James Taylor and Cat Stevens. Here’s a taste of his lyrics. “By walking I found out “Where I was going “By intensely hating “I found out how to love. “Out of untruth, I have found truth "From Hypocrisy, I weaved directness "Almost Now I know who I am "Almost I have the boldness to to be that man "Another step "And I shall be where I started from”. In the past couple of weeks I have received quite a bit of diverse reaction to a previous column of mine. I am referring to the one in which I attempted to put some things into what I felt was their proper perspective. (The column being aptly entitled "Perspective”.) In reflecting upon this reaction, it appears that what I was trying to convey in this column has been somewhat misunderstood. As to whose fault this misunderstanding must be accounted is irrelevant. I would like now to try and clear up this misunderstanding. A majority of the people who did comment on the column felt that I was saying that it is useless to vote, for voting cannot bring about a change. That the president is only one man with insufficient power and therefore all change must come through the American people on an individual basis. Those who did interpret my column as such were divided into two extremes: those who, thinking this was what I was saying, agreed with me; and those who, also thinking this, disagreed with me. There are two points which I would like to explain. First: In the cited column I was not saying that it is useless to vote to bring about a change. I was saying that if permanent change is to be accomplished within the political framework then change must start within each American individual and then manifest itself collectively into the government. This is my conception of "government by the people.” It doesn’t mean mechanically electing our representatives and sitting back waiting for miracles to happen. There is a certain re- JOIN THE CRIER TODAY !! Published by the students of Corning Community College EDITORIAL BOARD Editor-in-Chief. — Managing Editor ... Business Manager..

The second point: To those who do feel that it is useless to vote, I would like to take note with you. Those arguments given by these people fall into two main categories. One: That the president is only one man and does not have the power to affect, to a discernable degree, national and international policy. Two: That there is essentially no difference between the candidates so it doesn’t make any difference who wins. Granted the president is only one man. But the man who inherits the presidency has the power of hand-picking his Cabinet (with very little Senatorial opposition) and he will invariably fill the Cabinet with people sympathetic to his ideas. Who in turn will fill their respective departments with people sympathetic to their ideas. The president has the power of changing approximately three thousand federal executive positions and of these close to three hundred are strategic, influential positions. A significant amount of national influence is also obtained in filling a vacancy on the Supreme Court in the event of the death of a judge. The Constitution is so construed that it is subject to “judicial interpretation,” i.e., different judges can interpret various parts of the Constitution according to their subjective political inclinations (within basic limitations of course). Foreign treaties are also of significance in determining domestic policy (as we are well aware of today) and the undertaking of treaties is essentially an executive power. All in all, I am almost inclined to say that the president has too much power. But the relevancy of the above is simply to argue that the president does have sufficient power to influence basic policies. To those who argue that there is no difference between the candidates: Before the nomination of George McGovern, I would have agreed with you. But anyone who has become personally involved in this election knows that there exists a world of difference between him and Richard Milhous Nixon. Obviously both men are persuing their own interests. But I feel Nixon’s interests are not coupled with the interests of the American people, whereas McGovern's are. It’s impossible to trust a president who has carried on as many “secret meetings” as Richard Nixon has. "...OKAY, UNIT NINE, 60 AFTER SHRIVER...

He has been a reporter for more than thirty years. In 1962, the George Foster Peabody Television News Award saluted, among other Cronkite achievements, his "Twentieth Century” broadcasts (1957-1966). In 1969, he received the Wm. Allen White Award for Journalistic Merit - never before given to a broadcast newsman.) After a few thousand years of so-called civilization, there are so many things wrong with the world that we have made. The mere fact that this species of ours has survived so far seems hardly adequate cause for self-applause nor can we indulge in self-congratulations for our civilization’s considerable material and cultural development that has failed to guarantee survival or nurture the bodies and the spirit of all mankind. If we are to wipe out not only the symptoms, but the causes, of injustice and decay, there must be change. There is scarcely any argument on that. But the question is the form of the change and, as in such critical times in our history, we find conflicts between the seeming intransigence of the established order and the impatience of youth. Each generation, when it is young, is anxious to get on with the obvious reforms that the establishment of whatever era seems reluctant to institute. With the world's present potential for mass suicide with nuclear weapons, over-crowding, hunger, is there any wonder that the students of today rebel with an urgency unknown to earlier generations? There ought to be a better way, and that, I submit, is what the students are saying-there ought to be a better way, not only to settle international disputes, but to provide for the world’s underprivileged and to assure peace and well being for all. Almost everyone agrees with those broad objectives. It is the manner of achieving them-primarily the dispatch with which we get the job done-that separates us, that brings us to this increasing and terrible polarization of our society. It is time that both sides look and listen. Don’t stop, there isn’t time to stop, but look and listen, one to the other. As essential as is the need for listening to the other side’s arguments, is the necessity for critical self-examination of one’s own arguments. It by WALTER CRONKITE would be helpful if each side recognized its own excesses of speech and action even as it condemns those of the oppo-sition. It cannot be expected that more fanatical leaders or their disciples are going to follow such national behavior, nor are they likely to be tolerant of those who do. Fanatics seem to require total commitment and are not loathe to use bully tactics to get it. It also is the essence of their demagoguery that they preach only part of the lesson. Those who are hardened in their position practice and preach repression and their weapon is fear. To rationally examine our alternatives, none of us can yield to fear. Freedom of speech, press and peaceful assembly, which we all should hold dear, really compromise the freedom of free inquiry — the freedom to study our democratic institutions without fear of harassment by misguided patriots or heckling malcontents, freedom to advocate change without facing trial for heresy. Such study may require throwing off old concepts, shibboleths in the spirit of basic research. We must hear out the dissenters. We must seek out and Column Left by JIM OLSON Have courage, George McGovern supporters, for it seems that, at last, there is a part of our democratic system which is working in our favor. It is called the Electorial College and, according to research done by Penthouse Reporter, Fred Darwin, McGovern’s possibilities of getting 351 electorial votes are not as vague as Harris and Gallup might lead one to believe. First, Nixon supporters are more than happy to point out that no incumbent President has been defeated for re-election in this century. However, they fail to realize that only 11 incumbent Presidential candidates have ever been re-elected (barely 1/3) in U. S. history- Also, in our favor is the fact that this year, p>eople be tween the ages of 18 - 21 have the right to vote. Together, they and other young people who have turned 21 since 1968, make a pool of first-time voters number 25 million, roughly one-fifth of all registered voters. And what’s even more interesting is the fact that they are registering Democrat on a two to one ratio. This is also the first time in U. S. history that more than one-third of all registered voters are under 35 years of age. Another advantage is the fact that this year, the issues are not what one might think. The question is whether or not the people want four more years of Nixon or not. In running for president, the candidate must realize the contest is a game of states; the winner is not necessarily the one with the most votes, but the one with the most votes in the most populous states. These are California (45 electorial votes) New York (41), Pennsylvania (27), Illinois and Texas (26 each), Ohio (25), Michigan (21), Florida and New Jersey (27 each), Massachusetts (14), and Indiana and North Carolina (13 each). Together, these 12 states cast a total of 285 votes, well over the 270 needed to win. Giving Nixon all the states which he carried in 1968, plus those carried by Wallace, and giving McGovern those states which Humphrey carried plus his home state (South Dakota) and the states which will be switching from Republican to Democrat this year, (ie. California, Illinois, New Jersey, Ohio, Alaska, Delaware. Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee and Wisconsin) McGovern will win 351 to 187 (see table below). The process of determining just which state will switch is simple. Using the off-year Congressional elections as a public sentiment poll, one can clearly see the changes or con-formaty of voter habits. All of the states listed above as switch-over states, voted Re- publican in both 1966 and 1968. But in 1970, they removed most of the Republican Congressmen in favor of Democratic candidates. And this move is almost certain to be repeated due to the strength of the youth vote. The American Party has a chance, under the leadership of John Schmitz, to steal quite a few popular votes and perhaps even a state or two. But this can only be beneficial to the McGovern effort, since Schmitz is an ultra-con-serative, and his support is primarily in the south, which Nixon depends on most of his support. But do not take this as a signal to give a sigh of relief. The election is yet to come, and until McGovern is inaugurated, we are still in the hands of Richard the Tyrant.

The twenty-first century is not going to burst upon us in full flower. As we move into the future, the possibilities open to mankind stagger the imagination. Man can mold the new century into anything he wants it to be. But to do that, we must know what we want and we must examine each of our institutions to determine whether they stand up to the challenges of the century ahead. We of our generation may have to look no further than our own failure to plan for this future, to find the seeds of youth’s discontent. Convinced that we are not doing the job, many of you have turned your backs upon us. Even as you should not reject that which is good of our institutions and that accumulated wisdom which we possess, perhaps solely by reason of age, we must not reject those among you who dissent. In youth’s rebellion against any unsatisfactory status quo, we must assist - not resist. This does not mean either for youth or for us groveling to coercion, yielding to blackmail, or forgiving violence. It does not -----------— Column Right- by SANDY HOSIER with two opposite profiles of McGovern on an axis. It also contains a number of contradicting statements Mr. McGovern has made covering many issues. This commercial seems to imply that George McGovern is two-faced. I find this very hard to believe in a man who finds such a quality so detestable in reference to those statements alledgedly made by the President. I am very grateful to these Democrats and would like to make a suggestion to George McGovern. Maybe the Republicans will pick up your campaign debts if you’re nice. I wonder how many of you people have seen the Democrats for Nixon commercials on T.V. There are two that I am familiar with and as I see them, they are perhaps the most potent political advertisements of this Presidential campaign. The first one I saw, dealt with McGovern’s defense budget plan. In my opinion, with the cuts this plan contains this is definitely a minus for Mr. McGovern. The second commercial seemed quite in step with the atmosphere of this year’s campaign. It contained a picture mean we can tolerate lawlessness, for the law is the foundation of our freedom. It does mean that we must not let our revulsion to the transgressions of the militants blind us to the future. Society is going to change. The only question is whether youth is going to help and, indeed, we need to communicate by word and deed to those coming behind us, the values that we know are constants— right or wrong, truth or falsehood, generosity or selfishness, dedication or cynicism, self-discipline or license. This country has not lost its ability to respond to challenge. Though all the challenges of today seem frightening in their complexity, there should be no reason for despair. I do not despair that young people are taking a more concerned interest in our affairs than ever before in our history. God bless you all for that. The more and the greater the challenge, the greater the heroism of thought and of deed and of the courage to surmount them. Just remember this. The more exciting, then, the prospects of the combat; oh, how much sweeter then, the taste of victory. Support the Corona!

They were here to perform William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night’s Dream." Unlike the more well-known of Shakespeare’s dramas such as “Romeo and Juliet” or "Macbeth”, this was a delightfully amusing fantasy. The characters, played by a group of young people, consisted of a fairy queen and king, two pairs of unfortunate lovers, a group of very amateur players, Puck, and a few minor characters. by LIZ PRESLEY Puck was the most entertaining of the characters. He was the assistant to the fairy king. It was his humble duty to carry out the wishes of his sire. He carried out the wishes-but not always as they had been given. In one of the most amusing scenes of the play, Puck causes the fairy queen to fall madly and passionately in love with a man whose head is that of an ass. The group of people who performed proved themselves to be quite versatile. They could change costumes and even characters in a matter of minutes. The male actors accomplished acrobats, leaping and cavorting around the set. The biggest complaint I can make about the production was that those who sat in the chairs on the gym floor could not see and those in the back could not hear. All in all, the play was good and its production was excellent. If you missed it, you should be sorry.

This, my dear friends, is the saga of the English Department’s trip (and I do mean trip) to New York City on the weekend of the 13th. Our merry band of a-bout 30 people set out about 10 a.m. on Friday, October 13, transportation being provided by “Cap’n Andy” Lofquist, "Magic Mike” Gilmartin, "Hefty Hank" Moonschein, and three students, Charley, Chuck and Linds. Misfortune trailed us from the start, it being Friday the thirteenth and all. The school car, driven by “Magic Mike" New its engine about five miles past Binghamton on Route 17 and had to be left at a gas station. We traveled to the Roscoe Diner (64 miles) with 12 people stuffed in the Cap’n’s station wagon. The keynote address, “City Governmental Systems," will be given by Mr. Joseph Sartori, Elmira City Manager, following a smorgasbord luncheon beginning at 12 noon. The seminar will conclude with a social hour from 5-6 pm. The registration fees (including all costs) are: General, $25.00; DPMA members, $20.00; and students, $10.00. Registrations will be handled through the DPMA, Box 708, Elmira, New York or by contacting Profs. Appelt or Levanduski at CCC. Wait people, that’s not all. After redistributing our load, we traveled uneventfully to N.Y.C. (except for one almost accident) getting weird looks from passers-by and gas station attendants. We checked into our hotel (The Taft, on 7th Avenue and 51st) and got ready to see "Jesus Christ, Superstar.” It was really fantastic, and special effects were a real turn-on. After the play, everyone formed their own little group to make the rounds of the city, partying and suds, with most of us drifting in around 1 a.m. Saturday everyone rose bright and early and started exploring in earnest. Some visited the Village, some shopped, some did the standard tourist bit (subway, Empire State Building, etc.) Some even visited the “meat markets” on 42nd Street. In general, it was a day to get the feel of the life of the city. To a newcomer, it was really an eye-opening experience. We assembled in the lobby of our hotel at 6 P.M. and travelled by subway to the Village, where we saw “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” at Mercer Arts Center. It was a play that the average oppressed person could really identify with. Afterwards, most of us ate at our favorite hash-house, and trucked on back to the hotel to get into three separate parties that lasted into the wee hours of the morning. Sunday, we got together and posed in front of the hotel for a picture taken by yours truly. Then began the long trek home. As we were leaving the City, we had two main questions-How do they repair the roads? (they spread asphalt seeds) and how did it get so big? (it ate Wonderbread.) The trip was really a worthwhile experience, paid for mostly by the college, and they deserve a great big thanks for funding the trip. — 10 QUESTIONS— IF SOMEONE GETS THEM ALL RIGHT-THEY GET A FREE ALBUM OF THEIR CHOICE AT SMIDDY’S. 1.

THE FEDERAL DEADLINE IS OCTOBER 31. Demos Switch PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) -An unprecedented percentage of Democrats will cross party lines in November to vote for President Nixon's re-election, the Gallup Poll said recently. The poll said its survey of 2,650 registered voters September 29 to October 9 showed that 32 per cent of Democrats preferred Nixon to Democratic presidential candidate Sen. George McGovern. The defection rate in the last 20 years has never been so high and had averaged 22 per cent in the past five presidential elections, the Poll reported. In the 1968 election, 14 per cent of Democrats cast their votes for Alabama Gov. George Wallace and 12 per cent for Nixon. Republicans have only once had a defection rate higher than 14 per cent in the same two decades, according to the Poll. It said that in 1964, 20 per cent of Republicans voted for former President Lyndon B. Johnson over Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona. The Poll also reported these findings: -For the first time since 1952, a majority of Catholics will vote for a Republican presidential candidate, with 52 per cent expressing a preference for Nixon and 42 per cent for McGovern. Voters under 30 years old support the Republican candidate for the first time with the exception of 1956, when the late President Dwight D. Eisenhower defeated the late Adlai Stevenson. The young voter’s preference in the latest survey was 51 per cent for Nixon and 45 per cent for McGovern. -Manual workers, who normally vote heavily Democratic, said they favored Nixon by a 55-40 per cent margin. In 1956, the workers split their vote about evenly. Absentee Voting For the Average person who votes in the town where he is registered, casting a ballot is as easy as walking down the street, submitting a name to an election official, entering the voting booth and flicking the appropriate lever. But for the person who is registered in his home town and living somewhere else, voting means applying for and receiving an absentee ballot. Voting absentee is a complicated, almost dizzying procedure. It is also risky. The confusion of deadlines, application forms, special signatures and rigid, rigid directions may even result in a discarded ballot. For the student who must vote absentee, there are many procedures that must be fol-lowed. They all revolve a-round one important factor: Time. In many cases, it will take as many as three letter exchanges between a student and his local clerk to finally secure a ballot. It could take as long as three to four weeks simply to receive an application so the absentee voter must be extremely aware of deadlines. In initially requesting an absentee ballot from the town, county, or city clerk, the voter should include his name, home address, the address where the ballot should be sent and the reason for necessitating an absentee ballot. Deadlines, in either case, are crucial. The dates vary considerably from state to state so a check with the local clerk of the League of Women Voters is a necessity. Following directions to the letter may also make the difference between having a vote counted or discarded. Non-compliance with directions is a valid reason for a discounted ballot. Again, procedures differ from state to state. In some cases it will be necessary to have the signature of a notary public before the ballot can be considered valid. Notaries are found in most banks, the court house or the county clerk’s office. In sending in the ballot, there is always a deadline to meet. It’s best to send the ballot out immediately, for frequently the ballot must be received by a specified date, and even hour. Votes have been lost because a ballot was received an hour after the determined deadline. The red tape involved in voting absentee can be discouraging. Not only must the voter absentee remember to vote, he must also remember deadlines, directions and special requirements. Most important, he must not forget to apply for his ballot.

From before the child is bom, people, instead of just wanting a healthy baby, want a male baby and are often disappointed if it’s not. If this attitude is carried throughout childhood, the girl will grow up with a feeling of not being good enough for society. She will completely reject her gender but will not do anything to better herself because Conditioning by FRAN KAL1SH Acctg. Club Formed she has been taught not to. When growing up, girls are given paper dolls and nursing kits to play with. They are put into frilly little dresses and told to play quietly like a “good little girl." The boys meanwhile are given doctor and chemistry kits and are expected to raise a little hell around the neighborhood. Girls are taught never to show that they are more intelligent than men, and they are often scorned if they are straight “A" students. Girls are also instructed never to beat a boy in sports because girls are dainty creatures and therefore, how could they pos- sibly beat a strong masculine person. These are only a few examples of how women are taught to be subservient to men. They are conditioned to please the man and they will be happy. But women are people too and they deserve their own happiness. Women should be allowed to decide for themselves if they want to be a happy housewife or a professional. Most of all, society should open the doors to women to make them equal citizens, and throw away the idea that women are humble, subservient slaves to men. Accounting Club has been formed and is meeting every Thursday at one o'clock p.m. in Cl06. You are welcome to join whether you are taking Accounting or not. A tentative agenda has been made up including: a winery tour at Gold Seal, Halloween Party, Luncheon and guest speaker. Other activities will be discussed at further meetings.

These were the less enthusiastic comments for “Nirvana" and C.C.C. Productions Fall Weekend. Despite a few problems putting the show on, and an electrical monitor having tantrums, the first band, Nils Lofgrin, warmed the crowd from receptive to five degrees below boiling. Then, the evening was made immortal by Edgar Winter. The temperature was so high that you couldn’t tell whether that haze near the ceiling was steam or smoke. Edgar Winter’s White Trash, in the true tradition of Rock & Roll, plied electric keyboard, sax, drums, and pure electrical sound genius to take your head on a trip few people outside the studio environment can do. The lead guitarist, despite the electronic tantrums that dotted the evening, inspired this humble journalist, and judging from the leaping, screaming, clapping, whistling, howling crowd, I guess everyone was digging it. The evening was capped by that crown prince of soul, Kool & the Gang. They too, had their problems, starting with the difficult roads from Kentucky. But it was worth it. All of it. Nirvana and Fall Concert Committee, we salute you. by DOUG GARDENER Oh, THE CRIER WANTS YOU !! David Harris, 40, is one of the most enchanting people I have ever encountered. I met David, who is a native of London, at a local tavern and we immediately began a conversation concerning The Integral Art Research Lab. This is an academy for artists in the community who are intent on preserving, restoring, and cultivating neighborhood art. For the past four years David and a friend have been putting on art shows, festivals, concerts, and fund-raising events for children's schools and American Indians. David lived with Angel’s Glide, a community of performing artists, outside of Coming and, after the flood, he came to Coming, “saw a need, and began to fill it." Shop in Town by MARIE GINTER David found a person who was interested in buying the old Fine Arts shop, which was located on East Market Street. This person gave the shop to David and told him to do whatever he would like. He is presently in the process of moving the pieces of art from the Fine Arts shop. The Hawkes Crystal Glass shop, which used to make the finest glass in the U. S., is now going to become the harvenger for this 100-year-old neighborhood folk-art collection. When I asked if he had ever been an artist, he said, “I AM an artist!. ..I am interested in a folk-art form. I can see the art in the homes of people more so than I can in a gallery ... this is all the art of these people’s ancestors.” What David would like to do is prepare shows at the Integral Art Research Lab and take them out to show the people. He would like the whole project to be self-supportive-let the community support it. David wants his ideas to build up so that the community takes a vast interest. Anyone who is interested in helping to restore this art can get in touch with David on the upstairs floor of the Hawkes Crystal Glass shop. He needs materials in the line of matting boards, framing materials, and glass. Artists and other people are invited. “If art is not used, then it is useless.” To all who helped in making last weekend a success, Thank you! Fall weekend was fantastic! To all who didn’t give a damn, or either did their best to screw it up; go see a shrink!

Market Street Coming, N.Y. 14830 NY Mayors Pick McGovern TWO-BIT PLAYERS PRESENT: Look Back in Anger We the Mayors of every region of New York State, representing communities varying in size, and diverse in tradition and political philosophy, view the coming election as a critical opportunity for the American people to make a fundamental decision about common concerns regarding our country and its communities. We believe this election offers an opportunity to reverse the priorities of the Nixon administration and to recognize its dismal failure to act on the pious campaign promises made to urban America. It was during Mr. Nixon’s presidency that our communities suffered a proliferation of drug addiction of epidemic proportions, while our prison systems, sadly neglected, remain a breeding ground for future crimes. We witnessed unconscionable escalation of the bombing as we were assured that the war in Southeast Asia was winding down. The designation of funds supporting the Administration’s war policy has had a devastating effect on our cities. We are living through a serious increase in unemployment, a crushing burden from the decreased dollar, and mounting and inequitable tax programs. Our educational institutions from kindergarten through graduate school are now in crisis. Ethnic groups are estranged, and, in some,cases, overtly hostile due to lack of effective leadership and the divisive pronouncements of the Nixon Administration. The benign neglect of the present administration helps the rich, hurts the poor and murders the middle-income taxpayer. Senator McGovern has pledged ‘‘$26 billion in Federal funds, including $4 billion in emergency aid into programs to create jobs, strengthen law enforcement, provide property tax relief and upgrade housing, schools and transit systems in in the cities, where most Americans and voters live.” We, the Mayors of New York State, support George McGovern and his policies, which address themselves to the common concerns of our municipalities. The following mayors support the McGovern/Shriver ticket: Albany Erastus Coming Amsterdam John Comulka Beacon Robert Cahill Buffalo Frank Sedita Geneva William Hosking Glens Falls Robert Cronin Ithaca Edward J.

Creekmore Yonkers Alfred Del Bello by JOANNE HERMAN CCC’s drama group, the "Two-Bit Players" will present John Osborne’s three-act play “Look Back in Anger" November 9th, 10th and 11th. The play will be presented at 171 Cedar Street and will start each night at 8:15 p.m. It will be directed by Michael Gilmartin, Assistant Professor of English, and will be produced by Vicki Kichman. The cast will consist of Bob Cardone, a freshman from Horseheads, Mimi Novak, a sophomore from Big Flats, Nick Mizzoni, a sophomore from Coming, Joanne LaFace, a freshman from Corning, and Professor Walter Smith, a faculty member. Vickie Kichman will be the stage manager, in addition to her production duties, and Moira McHale will handle make-up. “Look Back in Anger" was written in the 1950’s and is a Join study of the frustration caused by a contemporary society unresponsive to the needs of one of its members. Author Osborne, himself frustrated with society, published an “open letter” to the institutions and individuals of English society stating, "There is murder in my brain and I carry a knife in my heart for every one of you! You have instructed me in hatred for 30 years.” A theatre-in-the-round setting will be used for the play in an attempt to let the audience feel the full force of the anger that this play deals with. This will be the first of two plays to be presented by the "Two-Bit Players" this semester. A Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. play, “Happy Birthday, Wanda June” to be directed by Henry Moon-schein, will be presented at the end of November. the HAROLD’S ARMY & NAVY HAS THE AUTHENTIC STYLED AIR FORCE SNORKEL PARKA.. .

Applications for absentee ballots must be sent to county boards of elections and postmarked no later than October 31. To request an application for an absentee ballot, a student must write to his county board of elections and state that his duties as a student will keep him out of him home county on Election day. He must also include him home address, his current mailing address and his signature. “County boards of elections sometimes delay in filling absentee ballot requests," said Mark Kreitman, Upstate New York student coordinator for the McGovern-Shriver campaign. “So it is essential that students send for their applications immediately." Kreitman also suggested that students send their requests by certified mail, with return receipt requested. "That helps insure that the requests receive proper attention,’’he said. “The student vote is critical in this campaign, "Kreitman said, “so we are urging every student in Upstate New York to vote on November 7.” Young's Ski Shop 364 North Main Street Elmira, New York “SHOP FOR ACTIVE PEOPLE” # Ski and Tennis Equipment # Clothing and Service HOURS: Daily 10-9 Sat. 10-5 Page 7-THE CRIER-Oct. 27, 1972 THE CRIER Oct. 27, 1972 Page 8 Sports Cagers Set to Open by VINNIE NYKIEL The 1972-73 basketball season opens for the "Red Barons" on November 11, which is only a few weeks away. The fourteen man squad has already been selected for this campaign. While there are no returning lettermen on the team, this will be compensated for by the talent on the squad. Although the five starting positions have not been filled as of yet, they will be picked soon. Most of the players on this year’s basketball team are from Coming’s service area-the high schools that C.C.C. draws students from. An example: Bill Drake is one of many players that Coach Kenner is high on. This Southside High School graduate is a “good shooter, good defensive player, and has good basketball sense, and could develop into one of Coming’s finest guards” according to Mr. Kenner. Another player the coach has an eye on is Pat Richardson, a first team all-Sullivan Trail Conference player along with Bill. Pat is 6’4" and "is an excellent all around ball player with fine moves inside and is aggressive rebounder’’ says Coach Kenner. Two other players that will see a lot of action this year are William Daniels and Gerald Parker, both 6'6". Dan-iels, who will become eligible in January, “should strengthen regional hopes" for the “Barons.” Parker, of James Madison High in Brooklyn, is the biggest man on the squad. Mr. Wayne Kenner says that Gerald has "good quickness for his size, is a fair ball handler and should be a big factor in the rebounding department. Two more to watch for are Rich Rollins of Elmira’s Notre Dame and Fred Geise of Elmira Free Academy. Rol- lins, who made varsity last year for the first time in high school, is what is known as a late developer. Averaging 10 points per game last year, he has an "excellent outside shot, and is a good jumper,” Coach Kenner states, and has "a lot of potential." Geise , a transfer from Mansfield State, is said to be a "tough defender, who works hard.” Rounding out the squad are Carl "Pudge” Breitwise, a transfer from Alfred University who graduated from C-West High School; James Byrnes, a transfer from the University of Miami; and Mike Felix who was red-shirted last year. Jon Green, a 5’11” freshman; “Woody" Knowles from Arkport High; Tony Mar-greno who averaged 20 points per game at Watkins Glen High School; Jamie Roberts, who is the quickest man on the squad; and Don Stoudmire, a fine ball handler, complete the fourteen man team. So come on up to watch the “Red Barons” because this could be the best team Coming has had to hit the hardwood. 1972-73 CCC Wrestling Schedule HOME -AWAY Nov. 29 Genesee CC 7 p.m. Dec. 2 Roadrunner Dec. 5 Cortland 8 p.m. Dec. 12 Auburn CC 6 p.m. Dec. 9 Corning Quad Jan. 12 Alfred 6 p.m. Erie, Fulton, Jan. 16 Hudson Montgomery & Valley CC 8 p.m. V.B.J.V.

Thursday—Sunday, March 1-4, National Junior College Tourney, Worrthington, Minn. Monday afternoon the "Heads” finished their Intramural Football regular season with a 6-0 record after defeating a determined Vets team 58-21. The Heads, who played a rugged defense all year long held the Vets scoreless the first half as the offense racked up 14 points on two touchdown runs by Steve Avery and two extra points by Bob Taggi. The defense also scored twice on interception returns by John Bri- em and Steve Avery, leaving the score 26-0 at the half. The Heads finished the regular season by scoring 210 points for a 35 points average while allowing only 77 points all season. The Heads are anxiously awaiting to play the Rat Hole, winners of the American League, in the playoffs. It should be an interesting contest with the victor being the champion of Intramural Football. Wrestling Season Approaches On November 29, the Red Menace will have its first wrestling match at home with Genesee C.C. Between now and then Coach Polo would like to get a Pep Club organized to cheer at the matches and handle such things as scorekeeping, publicity, news releases, a scrapbook, statistics, announcing, bulletin boards, meals, snacks for visiting teams, and social functions. A meeting will be held on Monday, October 30 at 1 p.m. in the wrestling room for all interested males and females. This year, there will be 11 home matches, so that this club would be able to be a big help to the wrestlers as well as giving its members a better understanding of what wrestling involves. Clinics would be held to aid general knowledge of wrestling techniques. In addition to the home matches there will be 11 away matches. Some new opponents will be West Point, Keystone CC from Pennsylvania, Farmingdale (1972-73 National Junior College Wrestling Champions), Fin- ger Lakes CC, and Cortland junior varsity. In addition, the Red Menace will face its rival Alfred in two dual meets this year and will travel to Sewell, New Jersey to compete in the Roadrunner Tournament on Dec. 2. Coming has won this tough tournament the last two years in a row by margins of 1 1/2 points last year and 1 point the year before. Last year the team that placed 4th in the Road-runner also placed 4th in the Nationals.

Or, would you like to spend a day in a local business and see marketing in action? Now’s the time to find out if marketing is your game — especially if you’re a freshman! Give yourself an opportunity to do all of this and much more by joining the Corning Community College Commerce Club, soon to be CCC Marketing Club. Several students, with the assistance of two faculty members, have been reorganizing the objectives of the Commerce Club and have unanimously derided that specializing the club to Marketing would better meet the needs of CCC students. Approval by ICC of the change of name and new constitution will then officially bring the group into focus on campus as the CCC Marketing Club, a member of the American Marketing Association (AMA). Because the group is experiencing this restructuring, your ideas about goals of the group Winter (Continued from Page I) new material “If you haven’t recorded it yet, then they usually don’t care for it." I asked him what he does to prepare himself for a concert. “If you mean drugs, I don't do drugs ... but I do smoke grass and stuff... My attitude before I go on stage doesn’t really matter, because when I go on stage everything just happens and there is really nothing I can do." Winter’s personal pet peeve when traveling the road is when the headliner group will not give his group enough time to perform. “I’d really rather play second because you get to play with some interesting groups and beside, there isn’t as much pressure ... but when the headliner won’t give us the time we need to play, I really get upset.’’ To improve the band, Winter believes that they need new clothes and new material. “Visually, we could be a whole lot better... I really want to get rid of these cheap, flashy Rock-n-Roll clothes that we’ve got and get a wardrobe of originals ... We need new material too, because you can only play a song just so much before it becomes boring and you can’t play without feeling." So, with some new threads and some original score, Edgar Winter and Company are going to go a long way and part of their future may include Coming. “I really liked the audience,’’ said Winter. "I want to come back.” VOTE afs/rights reserved TRYOUTS Tryouts for men’s and women’s Varsity bowling teams will be held soon. To try out you must sign up.

Advisors to the club are Richard Luce and Les Rosen-bloom, both Assistant Professors of Business Administration. Persons interested in joining the group, or for further information, may contact either of these faculty members or the Club’s president, Ralph Allen, a sophomore in Business Administration. Or, you can stop by the weekly meeting held at 1 p.m. Thursdays in the Classroom Building (C-50). Objectives of the group include trips to various marketing oriented cities with an ultimate 4-day excursion to New York City. Through various promotions such as raffles, sales of products and several other student "business" adventures, members will be able to earn funds to reduce their costs of travelling to New York. A raffle has been started by the club, too. Gift certificates valued at $20 and $40 for the College Bookstore will be a-warded the lucky holders of the winning tickets to be drawn December 8. A most unusual item is being sold by the club also. Not yet on the market, the members are selling vehicle reflectors which are completely portable and compact and which meet all the legal requirements for shape and size. Other goals of the group include the initiation of a scholarship to be awarded in the spring to a returning -Business student at CCC. Another unique goal of the group includes an opportunity to allow students to get involved with marketing for practical experience. The club is aiming for a “day in business” within the community. Why sit back and wonder if marketing is for you? Find out if you are for marketing by joining the CCC Marketing Club, where opportunity exists for "pioneering” ideas. COLLEGE GRADUATE?

EVENING'S ENJOyMENT JOIN THE CORONA Page 9-THE CRIER-Oct. 27, 1972 THE CRIER-Oct. 27, 1972-Page 10 Chopping Block Choosing a President by CHRIS MORTON, Editor-in-Chief In the past six issues of the "Crier” you have undoubtedly noticed an unprecidented attack on the Nixon Administration. The reasons for attacking the Administration were clearly outlined in the statements themselves. But still, there are people on campus who can not accept this outright criticism of the President, basically because they are unwilling to accept George McGovern for President. This stems from the fact that they expect perfection on the part of any man who runs for President of the United States. This does not suggest that Richard Nixon is perfect, but Americans have always been skeptical and even fearful of change. But if change is needed, then a change must be made. And the only way to do that is by putting one's skepticism and fears aside by examining the contents of each candidate’s campaign. In choosing a President, each and every voter must realize that, like automobiles, one is lucky to find a choice which is acceptable. This is because, Political Science, just like any other science, can only be as perfect as the people involved. Now, George McGovern is by no means the perfect candidate. The only thing McGov ern really stands for is change. He is setting himself up as an alternative to Richard Nixon's actions of the past four years. Choosing one man or the other for President, should therefore be as easy as choosing a car. Either you like the make of the car which you have been driving for the last four years or you do not. The time has come for a choice. Continue for four more years with the same thing or change to a new model. A detailed look at the “options” of each man’s campaign reveals two totally opposite stands on almost all of the issues of this election. Let’s take a look at some of the more important issues and see where each man stands. 1. ) Vietnam - The President has brought 400,000 Americans from Vietnam (20, 000+ in pine boxes, 11,000+ with purple hearts.) The bombing barrage, which results from a 90% reduction in ground combat involvement, has caused the dropping of more explosives than were dropped on Europe and Asia during World War II, only on an area equivalent to the West Coast of the U. S. (i.e. Border to Border, Pacific Coast to the Rocky Mountains.) George McGovern, on the other hand, pledges to stop the bombing on the day of his Inauguration, and within 90 days have all American troops home. 2. ) Defense - President Nixon advocates a strong military Industrial Complex with a budget of $87.3 million (which includes the expenditure of $21,600 for the demise of one enemy soldier), and the extention of the World arms race. George McGovern’s defense plan calls for a budget of $54.8 million by fiscal 1975. This budget would provide for military manpower totalling 1,735,000 composed of entirely volunteers, with two of the ten active Army divisions in Europe. McGovern's plan would also stop military aid to repressive and undemocratic governments such as Pakistan, Greece and South Vietnam. (Information on Nixon’s defense policies are not included in him campaign leterature.) 3. ) Crime - President Nixon, in 1968, pledged to reduce crime in the streets -“to re-establish freedom from fear in America.” Four years later New Yorkers are terrorized in the streets and in their homes: Violent crime in New York has increased 47.3%. Murder is up 54% and Robbery, 63%. Senator McGov- ern’s proposals are aimed at destroying the social roots of crime, (i.e. major improvements in correctional facilities with emphasis on rehabilitation rather than detention, and better police-community-relations). 4. ) Education - Under President Nixon, the present Federal Aid to elementary schools is $44 per student. Also, President Nixon is a-gainst school bussing and redistricting for the purpose of a racial balance in our schools. George McGovern advocates a raise in federal aid to public schools equaling 1/3 of the cost of education. Other provisions include 200,000 federal scholarships of $5,000 each and enforcement of the Supreme Court ruling providing for mandatory bussing “as a price we are paying for a century of segregation in our housing patterns.” 5. ) Food Prices - Under the Nixon Administration, Food prices have been soaring at the rate of 13.7% over the last three months here in New York State. This means that the average family’s grocery bill is up $450 per year since Nixon took office. Senator McGovern proposes to check this run away inflation by, among other things, ending the war in IndoChina which has cost Americans $133,000, 000,000. So there you have it. Exactly where each man stands on these five very important issues. As you can see there is a choice for you to make. It all depends on what you want. A man who plays political grandstanding on 20,000 dead soldiers and who advocates corruption, graft, inflation, and a police state, and who places a greater priority on war, wasteful defense spending and segregation, while our schools, neighborhoods, paychecks and private life deteriorate to lowest standards since the Great Depression, or perhaps, you would like a change. 'WE'VE AGREED TO OPERATE . . . NOW WE'RE DISCUSSING THE METHOD!' = | Notes from Skid Roe Student Govt. Elections by KEVIN ROE, Managing Editor Monday, October 16th, Student Government held elections for senators. The election was, to be blunt, a farce. Something like 8% of the student population turned out to vote, and for most of the positions there was no contest because there were fewer candidates than there were positions to be filled. Positions not filled by the election were filled by appointment. Maybe we should change the name of the Student Government Senate to the Student Government Cabinet. The blame for this situation has to be placed on the shoulders of both the student body and those in charge of the election (Student Government Executive Board). Why did only 150 students vote in the election? First of all, there was little publicity. Oh sure, there were one or two posters in the commons, but if the Executive Board had really wanted a turnout they should have buttonholed every student they could get their hands on and dragged them to the polling place (an inconspicuous, unlabeled table upstairs in the Commons). But even without much publicity, certainly more than 150 students should have known about the elections. But our old friend, apathy(“I don’t know what apathy means, and I couldn’t care less”) took hold once more, as it so often does. Furthermore, why were there so few candidates? The reasons are the same as above: lack of publicity and lack of interest. To those who did run I would like to thank you for showing some interest. To those who were elected or appointed, congratulations. My list of winners is unfortunately incomplete (another case of a lack of publicity) but here’s what I have. The sophomore representatives from Liberal Arts are: Al Moyer, Vince Ware, Jude Stoddard, Bruce Marks, Joe Stamilio, Bill Strickland, Ned Rubin, and Cindy Ackerman. Freshman Liberal Arts representatives are Doug Gardener and Rick Steams and Patti Page will represent the Business division. Appointed to represent the technical division was Steve Demonstroy. ENLIST NOW! THE CRIER WANTS YOU!! More on Corona Wrong Destination Soccer Team To the Editor: Mr. Robert T. Giuffrida’s call for “restraint, fairness and sound judgment", CRIER, October 13th, is commendable except it seems to have arrived at the wrong address. Washington is much more in need of such advice. As for the September 29 CRIER cover, a tranquil autumn scene would have been more pleasant, but it would hardly have fulfilled Mr. Giuffrida’s request to - “Be the valuable instrument you are supposed to be.” I thought the cover extremely appropriate for the time. As for "discussing the college, its students, the curricula, the professors, etc.”, fine, so long as this is not used as a means of avoiding discussion of the vital issues of the day - issues vital to the present and future of students and the community. Transfer Openings The State University College at Brockport will have openings for 2,200 new transfer students for September 1973. This will represent one of the largest entering Transfer Classes in the history of the college, increasing the total undergraduate enrollment at Brockport from the current 8,300 to 9,310. Preference will be given to applicants completing the Associate of Arts, Associate of Science degrees. Last September, 1,523 transfer students enrolled at Brockport, a number which reflects the serious, commitment Brockport has met in improving transfer articulation within the State University of New York, Applicants for the 1973 Spring Semester should note that our Spring 1973 semester at Brockport begins on Friday, January 15, 1973 and that applications should be mailed before November 15. Some 500 openings exist for January 1973. Any questions should be directed to the Admissions Office at Brockport. If you flirt with Nazareth College graduates, if you have no qualifications at all, if you would like to take up permanent Topping these of course, is the fact that the U. S. government headed by Richard Nixon persists in using our youth and our taxes to conduct the most massive, murderous, genocidal bombing in the history of the world. We must not be allowed to forget that every day this insane destruction would make Coming’s June 23 disaster look like peanuts. The attempted packing of the Supreme Court with racists, reactionary judges, the tax breaks and loop holes for the rich, the general shocking magnitude of corruption in top circles of government and now the proposal for the highest military budget in history all affect the lives of students and their families. To speak to these issues, it seems to me, is indeed “Being the valuable instrument you are supposed to be.

Issues Thanks To the Editor: On behalf of the soccer team, I would like to thank the “Crier" for the fine coverage that you have given the team. Out of ten games so far, you have blessed us (I think) with four articles. It’s not so bad that we never have more than just a few spectators, or that we can’t make it in the “Leader" (or the “Star-Gazette”), but our own paper just can’t seem to find the room to put an article about the team on one of their magnificent (?) pages. I’m really proud of our team and coach. The guys on the team are really the greatest. We try hard, and our 4 and 6 record isn’t a good example of our talent. I guess the only way we’ll make the news is to draft George McGovern on the team. We really do deserve a little more than nothing. Thanks a helluva lot, Ken Klane and the ‘72 Soccer Team (Student Overseas Services) Winter student jobs are immediately available in Europe - as well as a large selection of jobs for next summer. This means that any student who is willing to work can easily earn back the $175 round-trip Youth Fare being offered by most major airlines. And a few more weeks on the job earns money for travelling around Europe. Winter jobs are in ski resorts in Switzerland, Austria, and Bavaria. Summer jobs are in resorts, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, shops and on farms in Switzerland, Germany, France, England, Spain, Austria, and a few other countries. Many jobs, such as hotel work in Switzerland, farm work in France, etc. do not require previous experience Jobs, work permits, and other papers are issued to students on a first come, first serve basis. Although jobs are immediately available, applications should be submitted far enough in advance to allow SOS ample time to obtain the necessary permits and papers. Interested students may obtain an application form, job listings and descriptions, and the SOS handbook on earning To the Editor: At the present time there is a controversy brewing on the campus over the canning of The Corona. Well, for the people who are now in a uproar, with the exception of The Corona staff and a few longtime supporters, I ask where the hell were you when they needed you? In my opinion the question is not whether The Corona is a worth-while publication but whether anyone cares if one is printed or not. Few volunteered for the staff and few had Crier Is To the Editor: I believe there are many students on campus who would like to see a stop to the slanted political articles in the Crier. I would like to see at least equal anti-McGovern articles published. If you feel you have the right to misuse the school’s paper by turning it into political garbage, then you should do it fairly. Dave Neeley (Editor’s note: We print what we have. Most of our news articles come from honest-to-goodness college news services. We subscribe to four: LNS, CPS, PNS, and AFS. We also get many of our stories from news releases: some from the college; others from the McGovern campaign. We don’t ask for these releases - they are sent to us. We will continue to print those we deem perti- a trip to Europe by sending their name, address, education al institution, and one dollar (for addressing, handling, and air mail postage from Europe) their picture taken to be put in the book. I know you’re all upset when The Corona, all 300 planned copies, is taken away. But you didn't care when it existed. As a member of The Student Life Sub-Committee that cancelled the book (I voted a-gainst it), I will not vote for it until these criteria can be met. First, that a simple majority show and maintain interest in the book. Second, that it be available to any and all students who want.it. Sandy Hosier Pres., ICC nent. If Richard Nixon ever gets around to recognizing the press, we will print what they send us. So far it seems that they have no concern for us, as we have yet to receive any releases from them. We are not about to go out and find stories in support of a candidate who shows no interest in the press in general. So much for news stories. As far as our personal editorials are concerned, we cannot in good conscience write anything good about Richard Nixon. If you want to see something in support of Nixon in your paper, why don’t you submit something? We don’t see any merit to a complaint made by someone not willing to do something about it. to 3/4 Placement Officer, Student Overseas Services, 22 Ave. de la Liberte, Luxembourg, Europe.
