HPER Division Smoldering
Barton Loses Athletic Director Job
By JOE MIRANDO
Wayne Barton will lose his job as Athletic Director at the end of the semester, much to the disagreement of the entire Health. Physical Education and Recreation (HPER) Division.
According to a memo sent from Don Beck, dean of Student Services, Barton's contract as Athletic Director is to be terminated June 30,1975.
However, the HPER Division is in disagreement and has complained to College President Robert Frederick in two closed meetings.
Barton first came to Corning in August of 1973 as a stand-in for Neil Bulk-ley who was on sabbatical leave. His contract was to terminate in June of 1974.
When Bulkley returned, he announced that he would not take the Athletic Director job. Since no one else would accept the position. the job was offered to Barton and he accepted.
However. Barton's new contract was to terminate after one school year. A new Athletic Director will be appointed by Frederick and this person, according to Frederick, "will probably be an existing staff member."
The HPER Division, led by Barton, has met with the President twice and argues that his dismissal will mean an overload of classes for each teacher.
Each HPER instructor teaches on the average 18 hours of classes per week. With Barton's dismissal, his duties of Athletic Director and teaching canoeing classes will be given to the other HPER instructors, unless another instructor is added.
"We re all way understaffed." Barton said referring to the entire HPER Division. "Each teacher averages 42 hours of work a week right now."
Asked for his opinion on the subject of whether they are understaffed, Frederick said, "I'm not convinced of it. If we had all the money in the world. I wouldn’t quarrel. But we don't so I have to set priorities."
According to the evaluation report issued to the college by the Middle States Accreditation team, another full or part-time teacher should be added to the HPER Division.
On page 4 of the report, it reads. "A young, hardworking and dedicated staff compose the Health, Physical Education and Recreation Division ... a special evaluation of this division's workload should be undertaken with recommendations for additional or part-time staff to follow."
Regrading this report. Frederick said, "I can't find justification for this." The President went on to say that only one person researched the HPER Division and this person never talked to him about the condition of the HPER Division.
Barton's dismissal touched off a number of comments from HPER Division teachers.
"He (Frederick) doesn't like physical education and he stated that when he first came here." said Bulkley. an associate professor of health and physical education.
“I think the students taking canoeing next year will suffer," said Gerry Galloway, an instructor of
physical education.
Barton said the intercollegiate and intramural sports program will suffer greatly. “There's no direction.” he said. "There's been three Athletic Directors in the last three years and this doesn’t allow for any long range planning.”
Barton went on to say that the sports program at CCC "hasn't been given a fair chance." Using unofficial figures, he said his dismissal and a number of other prejudices against the sports program are causing approximately 102 in-intercollegiate athletes. 30 baseball club team members and about 400 to 500 intramural players to suffer.
The first-year Athletic Director who will be losing his job said he wrote to Athletic Directors all over Region III (which includes nearly all of the community colleges in New York State and one junior college in Pennsylvania) and found that Corning has the lowest amount of money for intercollegiate sports in the region.
According to his survey, most Region III schools pay for the athletes' insurance. physicals, recreation. intramurals and coaches' salaries out of their school's operational budget. However. Corning pays $1,000 for physicals. $2,600 for insurance. $1,700 for intramurals, $1,200 for recreation and $6,000 for coaches’ salaries out of its athletic budget.
Combining this with Frederick's decision to pay Barton's salary ($12,500 out of the athletic budget) and it leaves $7,600 out of the $32,600 total budget for intercollegiate sports.
Barton found that the a-

Wayne Barton ... embattled Athletic Director
mount of money spent on intercollegiate athletics as compared with the total number of students at each school in the region came out to be an average of approximately $14.37 per student.
However, at Corning, the average is only $7.75 per student for intercollegiate athletics, the lowest in the entire region.
"The point," says Barton, "is that the $32,600 we're given from the student activity fee is enough. But we have to pay for the other expenses instead of taking them out of the operational budget like the other scho-
ols do.”
When these statistics were presented to Frederick, the CCC Chief Executive said. “We don't set our activities budget by comparison with other community colleges.”
Asked to evaluate the job Barton has done as Athletic Director, Frederick declined to comment but added that Barton "seems to be working hard with a bubbling enthusiasm."
When the same question was put to Galloway, he answered, “He's (Barton) done one helluva job, much better than any other Athletic Director we've had.”

2 THE CRIER. THURSDAY MAY 1 1975
Our Side*For The Record
By Joe Mirando Editor in Chief
Reaccessing Our Position
It's time to reaccess our position.
Three weeks ago the Crier stated that it had to relocate its base. The trailer it now occupies is antiquated and its ceiling will not survive another winter.
These reasons are good enough to have it relocated to just anywhere. But it has been found that student involvement in the Crier has also suffered because of its location. Many students plainly do not know where trailer #4 out back of the Commons is and since it is placed far and away from students, news-getting is also made much harder.
Therefore a survey was taken and it was found that the best location for the Crier would be in the Commons, preferably in either the Black Cultural Center, the small lounge, or room U210.
A. small number of letters and notes have reached the Crier asking why it wants to evict the Blacks.
The Crier does not have any power to remove the Black Cultural Center. It can only negotiate some sort of deal or bring its case to the Administration.
A sensible deal would be to move the Crier into the Black Cultural Center, the Black Cultural Center moved to the Small Lounge and the Small Lounge moved to room U210. This deal would be very feasible as each room has ample space for each group’s activities. The activities that take place in U210, club meetings and classes, could be moved to a classroom somewhere on the campus since the activities that take place in U210 do not necessarily have to take place in the Commons. The Crier is not suggesting any of these groups move into trailer #4. The trailer should be scrap-piled.
The Crier would be just as satisfied if they were allowed to move into the Small Lounge.
It has been stated that the Black Cultural Center is the only thing that the black students at CCC have. This is not true.
Black students have as many opportunities to join clubs, campus media, and student government organizations, to play sports, to take academic courses, and to use all of the campus facilities as the other students on campus do. Any student, black or white, who doesn't take advantage of the opportunities has only himself to blame.
The Crier must take exception to the statement that the black student is the farthest thing from the Crier's mind. The statement is not true. The concern of all students on this campus is the only thing on the Crier's mind. It is for this very reason that we feel the need to relocate; to better serve the students, the faculty and the staff at CCC.

The HPER Division’s Loss is the Student’s Loss
Just before the semester break College President Robert Frederick dealt a devastating blow to the Health, Physical Education and Recreation (HPER) Division and the Intercollegiate and Intramural Sports Program when he announced that Wayne Barton was being fired as Athletic Director as a gym instructor at CCC.
This act was another bombshell in a history of aggression against these two groups. Now it appears that if some sort of retaliation is not offered, the entire student body will suffer.
The war started about two years ago when the Student Budget Committee launched the - first offensive and cut the athletic budget from $48,000 to $28,000. At the time, the sports program at CCC had reached it peak with nine sports and nearly all finishing high in Region III. But with inflationary costs, two sports - men's volleyball and soccer - had to be dropped.
This past year the budget was raised to $32,000 but this time Frederick put on the attack when he decided to pay Barton's salary out of the $32,000. This left the sports program with only $20,000 to work with. Another sport, golf, had to be dropped.
These past attacks mainly affected the intercollegiate sports and intramural sports program. But with
Frederick's latest bombshell, the dismissal of Barton, the HPER Division is now under attack.
The nine teachers that teach physical education teach about 18 hours of classes each week. When Barton is gone, this class load for each teacher will go up, thus overburdening all the teachers.
Another physical education teacher will have to be named Athletic Director. Since this job will take up very much time, that particular teacher’s class load will have to be lumped on the other teachers, putting an even bigger class load on the other teachers.
Combine this heavy load of classes with coaching duties, intramurals and club advising and each teacher will have more than their hands full.
The alternative will be to cut out more intercollegiate and intramural sports and gym courses. So now who ends up with the bad end of the stick? The students.
Which students will be affected?
Approximately 132 students participate in intercollegiate athletics. Each could very well lose the sport they play.
Approximately 400 to 500 students participate in intramurals. Many of these sports will have to be done away with.
Most important, every full-time student needs physical education to grad-
uate. With less teachers and less time for teachers to teach, many gym courses will have to be cut out.
Over the years the physical education requirement has received much flack from students. As a result, the HPER Division opened up a number of options to fulfill the requirement and offered more courses to at least try to give students a course they might not mind taking. But now the number of courses, now numbering 40. will have to be reduced. Students will be forced to take more courses they don’t like.
The only other solution would be to throw out the physical education requirement. But as surveys taken by the Crier last semester show, half of all the students surveyed didn't mind the requirement.
The most amazing facet of the entire situation has to do with the Middle States Accreditation team. Last semester these trained evaluators came to Coming and recommended that the HPER Division should have at least one more part-time or full-time teacher added.
In dismissing Barton. Frederick is showing a total disregard for the Middle States Accreditation team. But more importantly, he is showing a total disregard for the people he is "working for." - every single CCC full-time student.

Hi kids.
A student told me that while she was talking to President Frederick, the subject of sexism came up. According to this source, the president said that he felt that CCC should use its energies to deal with racism rather than sexism, since racism is a much more important issue. Dealing with both, he felt, would be spreading things too thin, and would nullify any possible results.
It seems to be a pretty popular opinion, not only on campus, but all over the
country.
There are a couple of things that bother me about it.
Suppose that, through our untiring efforts, racism is done away with. The black man would undoubtedly be in a better position because of it. But what of the black woman?
Sojourner Truth, a black woman who fought for both women and blacks, said it better than I could. What good would it do her if slaves were freed, she asked, if women were still subject to oppression by men. She would be a slave
to men either way.
It is my opinion that America needs to prioritise.
We should not limit ourselves to fighting for black Americans, or red Americans. or female Americans. We should instead make it our business to fight oppression on all fronts, every time that it rears its ugly head.
All of the students at Corning Community College deserves the same a-mount of freedom, whether they be white or black, male or female. That is what we should be working for.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Sexism in Occupations
Dr. Frank B. Miller. Chairman of the Dept, of Manpower Studies. New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations, Cornell University has stated. "Jobs are sex-typed. That is they are thought to be more suitable for members of one sex than the other. This sex typing changes over time. Sex typing can be contrary to logic. and. indeed, contrary to the commonly held beliefs about the mature two sexes.
An example: Because of their ability to bear children. women are thought to be more nurturing than men are. How is it. then, that there are so few female physicians in the U.S.?”
“The answer to this question is a complicated one but let me suggest two factors. One is that the occupa-
tion of Physician can be said to have too much status for a woman. We can suppose that women in American Society "don’t need" that much status or income, gaining, as they do, their main status from their husbands.”
The interesting question, from a Sociological point of view, seems to be: What is there in our scheme of values that diverts women into certain slots? It is clear that women are channeled (by pressures both inside themselves and our society as a whole) certain ways.
“How can the job force be restructured so that women can have equal opportunities they are demanding? I'd emphasize two important changes that would need to be made. So long as women bear the
burden of the “child rearing lapse." provision must be made for them to keep up with their skills and involvement so that they can re-enter the work force when their family responsibilities permit. Second, part time jobs must be made available for both men and women at all stages in their life careers. Why couldn't this be negotiated into contracts and into our definition of womanliness?
In 1970 a survey was taken and it showed that 90% of the women are Occupational Therapists. 99% RN's, and 90% cashiers. Women are paid 2/3 of what men make holding the same job. There aren’t many women who hold a job that man can do. In the U.S. only 4% of the women are architects, 7% Doctors,
2% Dentists. 7% Chemists, 2% Veterinarians, 10% Insurance Agents.
There are different colored forms for men and women to fill out, plus the questions are entirely different applying for a job. A reason for a woman not getting a job is supposedly she can't do heavy work. 40% are working women now. 54% of the women worked in 1973. 9 out of 10 women expect to work sometime in their life. The women 21 and under expect to work 25 years. The average working woman is 41 and married.
There is sex discrimination when males or females are looking for a job. Stores say they only want hard working males to lift heavy objects, or a cute looking girl for a clerking job.
These are some of the questions women are asked when filling out forms for a job: What kind of child care arrangements do you have? Are you married? How many children do you have? Do you use birth control and what kind do you use? When do you plan to start a family? and How many children do you expect to have?
Many more are asked, but they don't ask the men any of these questions. These questions aren't fair because it's really none of their business.
The men feel that the womens place is in the home and if she wants to stay home and do housework, it's her right. It’s up to the women what they want to do, stay home or go to work.

Student Irked Over Faculty Decision
To the Editor,
I have recently become a-ware of the upcoming policy on class attendance regarding Dean’s List students (and others for that matter).
Incentive is a basic for achievement. Recently the Educational Policies Committee except Randy Dounce, the only student representative, passed a policy to drop the incentive of leniency on class attendance for our esteemed Dean’s List students.
Come On! CCC is not Webster Grove High School! One of the major areas of concern of higher education is to allow individuals the right of decision on personal responsibilities. If we allow the power structure to limit and dictate those personal decisions.
we are wrong and should not consider ourself responsible college students, but merely students continuing our high school education.
If we continue to allow policies like this to be instituted. we will find ourselves waiting for someone to notify us of our responsibilities in later life. And, if we find ourselves in this syndrome, CCC has failed us deeply.
To those faculty members who initiated this policy, I can only say, ’’Don’t worry, you’ll be paid.” And for you faculty members that don’t really care, I sympathize with you. We both know that those people who show up are the ones who care.
I’m sure the majority of students do care and at-
tend. But to be forced to attend by the possibility of negative reinforcement is against our personal rights. After all, we are paying a high price for education. We should try to get our money's worth.
As students, we should not allow this form of control over our rights. Stand up and secure your rights as individuals capable of making your decisions.
If faculty members wish to discuss their reasons for forcing us to conform to their standards regarding class attendance, I would be more than happy to participate in an open forum on this question.

Meet The People Interviewer
By RON LARREA
How would you like to meet the person who is usually doing the interviewing for this column? Well, name is Pat Monahan
take off to the City to see
one.
This is Pat’s last semester here and will be going to Geneseo this fall to major in elementary education. He’ll miss CCC but is jager to take that next step n his life. CCC has been a ‘head opener” to Pat, offering him new and different experiences and a brighter Outlook on life. As he puts it. ’’life is what you make it.” Future plans are to get an education, settle down, and get married, "maybe in that order.”
CCC will miss Pat also. He will leave many friends here. Pat is a gentle, quiet type of person and one can’t help but enjoy his company.
The Crier Asks
By LYNN CALLEAR
This week’s question is: “Every CCC student who registers for his fourth semester must pay a $20 graduation fee. This covers the cost of about a $5 diploma and $15 for the ceremonies. This fee is mandatory and cannot be waivered, even though over 50 per cent of graduating students don’t attend commencement. Do you plan to attend commencement exercises when you graduate? Do you feel the graduation fee is fair? Why or why not?”
Rafael Ortiz, Freshman, New York City - “No, because if you don’t want to go to graduation why shouldn’t it be mandatory to pay the fee.”
Kerry (“O”) Shanick, Sophomore, Corning - “No, I don’t plan to attend and I don’t think the fee is fair. The Activities fee should cover it.”
Charlie Miller, Freshman, Binghamton - “No, I don’t plan to attend. I feel the fee is fair, but the Activities should cover it, since it doesn’t the $20 is enough.”
Joan Piasecki, Freshman, Elmira Heights - “Yes, I plan to attend. The Activities fee should pay it since we have to pay an activities fee.”
Jackie Palmer, Freshman, Horseheads - “Yes, I plan to attend. I don’t think we should pay the fee. The tuit-ion is high enough and I don’t think it’s fair to the ones who don’t go.”
Kyla Kraft, Sophomore, Bath - “I’ll attend because I already paid the $20.1 don’t think it’s fair to pay for it if you don’t plan to attend.”
Jim Derry, Sophomore, Elmira Heights - “Yes. I plan to attend. I think the fee is fair because it’s up to you to show up not the college’s fault if you don’t.”
Joe Egnaczak, Sophomore, Elmira Heights - “No, I don’t plan to attend. The fee is too much because I don’t think they could give you enough of a ceremony for $15."
Bacon Elected Tech Guild President
Frederick - First to Admit Mistakes
By PAT MONAHAN
Our college president isn't any better than you or I. Bob Frederick's position requires a lot of decisions. Yet, he can make mistakes and is the first to admit it. As Bob’s father said, “Even King George must take his pants down to go to the bathroom.”
Bob and his family spend their summers in a “dera-lict cottage" on Seneca Lake. Bob takes vacation time so that he can have long weekends in the summer at the cottage. On Sundays, Bob and his daughter, Cindie, enjoy sailing. The pair race for recreation and in handicap races on Seneca Lake.
During Bob’s stay at the lake, he enjoys puttering a-round the cottage. Last summer he replaced some of the plumbing in the house. It was a real experience for him because he “learned how to live and crawl as the spiders do.” Bob also put a cement base under the cottage “so the snakes can’t get in.”
The majority of Bob’s time is spent at his college-owned house near "Stirpee Comer" (top of Powder-
house Road). If he didn’t have to attend so many meetings downtown, he would walk to work. Instead, Bob drives a '69 Rambler or his new Chevy Blazer.
Bob's office on campus is fascinating. One wall of bookshelves isn’t filled with dusty relics like many president’s offices. It is filled with documents necessary to run the college. Small paintings and a mural fill the rest of the wall space.
The mural is intriguing
to look at. The painting was done in 1971 by a student. He couldn’t catch Bob in any single pose, so there are four poses on the canvas. The painting has the “Bob's” around a clear, conference table. Bob explains, “If you know my office, you can fill in the clear spots" with a mess that suits you.
From Bob’s desk he can see the entire campus. When the wind is blowing, he uses paperweights made by his daughter to hold the stacks down. Bob wants to make it clear that the two vents in the ceiling “aren’t air conditioning units. They circulate the air.”
After the paper work is finished. Bob enjoys "getting out into student’s territory." It's not uncommon to see him at student concerts, socials at Lando’s, kegs on campus or in the Commons. These functions help put him on the student’s level. In Bob's office, it is more of a superior/inferior relation.
In his ninth year as college president of CCC, Bob has decided on a job description for his job. He describes it as a job “afflicting the comforted.”
Blaine Bacon will be the new president of the Engineering Technology Guild for the 1975-76 school year as the result of elections the group held last month.
Ward will take over Chief Executive duties and his staff will consist of Vice-President Mark Thompson, Treasurer Jim Avery and Secretary Gene Savino.
Jerry Thomas, assistant professor of electrical technology, and Ed Herman, associate professor of electrical technology, will serve as faculty advisors.
The group is open to all engineering and engineering technology students. Its main purpose, according to Secretary Savino, is, "basically an organized means for teachers and students to sponsor education-oriented field trips and other extracurricular activities.”
Some of the activities the group has taken part in to date this semester include a trip to the Smithsonian Institute and other national land marks in Washington D.C. and a trip to the annual exposition and convention of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) in New York City.
The trip to the IEEE convention, which alternates yearly between New York and Boston, is under consideration as an annual trip for the tech guild.
In a memo from Savino to the Crier, Savino said, “The tech guild has been very successful thus far. We urge students to support and partake in the activities of the tech guild."
Anyone interested in joining the tech guild are asked to contact any of the new officers.
S.G. Co-Sponsors Weber
By PAT MONAHAN
Student Government decided to co-sponsor a psychic on campus April 28 and 29.
At the last meeting, Student Government and Activities and Programming Committee decided to split the $500 'cost. On April 28, Ken Weber lectured on physic powers and the following day, he demonstrated his “powers.”
Also at the last meeting, $250 was taken from the racism budget to help sponsor an anti-racism convocation. The group consisting of author Robert Terry and Fred Jefferson will give the convocation on racism-related topics. The group will work with small groups throughout the day and a convocation open to the public during a free hour. $500 is coming from the Additional Income budget to finish paying for the racism team.
A Leadership Workshop planned for May 9-10 is being co-sponsored by Student Government and Inter-Club Council. Student Government voted to give $200 for the workshop.
In other action, an election committee was formed to work on elections for the spring. Kevin Dwyer and Pat Monahan will work on this committee. Possibilities of an open forum for the candidates of president and vice president was discussed. The committee will report at the next meeting with more definite on this year’s elections.

Credit Guidelines for Life Experience Issued
The trend towards awarding college credit to individuals for knowledge they have gained through life and work experience received a boost from the State Education Department. The Department made public a set of tentative guidelines to be used by colleges in evaluating life experience for the purpose of granting academic credit.
The guidelines are a result of a Department survey of the practices and policies of a score of colleges that currently offer academic credit for knowledge gained outside the college classroom. Life experience might include on-the-job experience, self-taught academic or creative skills in formal courses taken in the armed services or from business.
In forwarding the guidelines and the survey to the presidents of all of new York's public and private colleges, Alvin P. Lierheimer, associate commissioner for higher education, asked for comments and advice. He commended colleges that currently assess and grant credit for prior learning and called for continued efforts to expand and refine the ways in which this learning can be measured.
The tentative state guidelines are as follows:
-Documented learning, no experience alone, ought to be the basis for credit.
-Credit for such learning ought to fit appropriately into well-designed degree programs.
-When the learning to be assessed corresponds to subjects traditionally taught in college, the most efficient means of validation may be already established proficiency examinations.
-Students seeking credit for experimental learning needs special advice, including information on various methods of assessment available.
The suggested state guidelines urge colleges to develop and publish a manual of procedures that discusses experiences that may qualify for credit, evidence required to show for the learning, standards for the examination process, maximum number of credits allowable and required fees.
Revised guidelines on awarding credit for knowledge gained from life experiences are expected to be published in May.

Mrs. Leveen - "Liberated Woman"
By EILEEN TICHANE
Why the male gender “he" is used instead of the female gender "she" or a common gender “person" for an unknown or mixed sex is a definite puzzlement to "Polly" Leveen as many of her students certainly know. She thinks socialization has caused her to fall into the male pronoun usage.
Although Mrs. Leveen is not a member of any formal women's liberation group she does consider herself a liberated woman. “In my thinking I have always felt the freedom of choice was mine and then when obstacles did appear I fought to overcome them."
In terms of employment Mrs. Leveen said "women in general have been hired less, hired at lower rates and promoted at a slower rate than men. To the credit of the administration on this campus these factors were recognized and steps
were taken to adjust them.” Consciousness raising is the method Mrs. Leveen sees that will bring changes on sexism. “The problem with all discrimination is that all of us carry these feelings without always being aware that we do.” “Greater common ex-
posure" to women in roles such as directors, deans, or security personnel” will also help the community to see that women may successfully play many roles . other than the ones to which we have become accustomed, for example, nurse or secretary.
Mrs. Leveen thinks a passive woman can pick up women’s liberation and become a doer. “But it is her choice. I also believe that if a woman is content with her role that’s her right.” “I’m not calling for all women to leave the hearth and home.”
She thinks the women's liberation movement can help women have a more well rounded or self-fulfilled life.” I hope for the timid woman the women’s movement would help her help herself. The movement can solve other problems and help them recognize some of the myths that we have on male and female relationships.”
Turgeon Gives Frozen Blood Lecture
Mary Louise Turgeon, a CCC assistant professor in the Biology and Chemistry Division, will be participating as a guest lecturer on the Lakes Area Regional Medical Lecture Network. in Buffalo, today.
The subject of her lecture is “New Look in Community Blood Banks: Frozen Blood."
Her lecture is an outgrowth of past research on the innovative blood product, which has also been the subject of several papers presented by her at various medical meetings and seminars.
In 1973 she received the Vice-President’s award from the New York State Association of Blood Banks for original research on Frozen Blood
Use in Renal Dialysis patients. She has also published numerous articles on a variety of aspects of Frozen Blood.

Trivia nut extra question:	What was Henry
VIII’s waistline?
And now for some of the answers....
One: The most often run distance in the history of sports is not from the bedroom to the bathroom, it is the 90 feet from home plate to first base. This distance is run by almost every member of a baseball team in a game and with the number of games each day, each week, each season, for the 100 plus years of baseball, I don’t think any other distance would come close to that record. But, one must realize that the baseball field did not look as it does today. When the game of baseball was first started, the distance to first base was a mere 32 feet and the batter was “tagged out” by hitting him with the ball before he reached base. Neat, Huh?

Future Job Outlook
Trends
By RONNIE BAYER LIPP CCC Career Counselor
Five to 15 per cent of all four-day work week attempts fail, in part because many people don’t know what to do with an extra day of leisure time ... Presently, only 1.5 per cent of the work force operates on the three or four day work week, according to an Associated Press article.
A U.S. Office of Education report, cited in “Organic Gardening and Farming," November 1974, projects that by 1980, thousands of companies will need workers in a new field called "Integrated Pest Management,’’ pest control with minimum impact upon the environment. New occupations will include Laboratory Technician — Biological, Environment Monitoring Technician, and Scout-Field Sweeper.
Contrary to “Occupational Outlook Handbook” forecasts, “layoffs of middle managers” (supervisors to corporate officers) in “unprecedented numbers may continue beyond the recession,” according to an article by David Eisner in “The Wall Street Journal." The head of Korn-Fer-ry International sees middle management openings down 7 percent from a year ago, “a group that has traditionally grown by 20 percent a year.”
Moonlighting rises as workers struggle to cope with surging inflation. Half the applicants now seeking its temporary jobs are jobholders already, says Career Blazers Agency, Inc., of New York. Normally, the figure is ten percent of applicants.
A Michigan State University official finds bachelor’s degree social workers “substantially unemployed" and expects "no abrupt upswing in demand.”
Affirmative Action At Work? New woman chemists will earn more than their male counterparts for the first time this year, the American Chemical Society reports. Salaries for experienced women chemists are still behind those for men.
Job Enrichment: Pitney Bowes, a manufacturer of business equipment, experimented with flexible time among more than 250 of its employees late last year and now plans to expand the program. In flexible time, employees choose their own starting and quitting time for their 8-hour day. Participants were absent less often.
Placement officials at the American Bar Association warn of a “real employment crunch” for new lawyers as law school enrollments continue to rise. Nearly 31,000 persons received law degrees in 1973, but only about 16,500 legal jobs are expected annually through 1980.

Hank Bennett - Teacher and Auto - Racer
Racing Formula V has been a favorite pastime of Hank Bennett since 1967.
Bennett, an Assistant Professor of Philosophy, is an instructor as well as a driver in Formula V racing.
"I will not go to a race to watch: it’s too frustrating. I do want to race but I will not race unless I have a chance to win.” he says.
His greatest thrill, he says, is passing an opponent, maneuvering for position and realizing the full thrill of a race once it's over.
Racing competitively, Bennett has been the winner of a few spectator events at the Watkins Glen track. The blond-haired teacher who makes up the entire Philosophy department of CCC said, "I drive better in front of large crowds.”
Losing is challenging to Bennett. He says the challenge lies in figuring out why it is happening and trying to correct it. He explained, "Racing allows you to find your limitations. You have to be almost thinking the car into certain situations."
Racing is also not clean
and beautiful for Bennett. He has Teamed some of the unsportsmanlike tricks such as boxing in his opponent so he’s unable to take a lead or forcing him off the track on turns.
Bennett says speed mostly depends on the track, not the car or driver as many non-racing fans are led to believe. Formula V can reach 140 miles per hour at Watkins Glen. However, driving, at top speed may hinder the overall lap speed, he noted.
Racing requires him to undergo a special routine for each race. He commented that he has to shut off completely his alcohol intake by Thursday of a week if he is to be driving on Saturday or Sunday. He’d also like to have six or seven hours of sleep.
Other phases of auto racing Bennett emphasized were economical and mechanical. A car fully prepared ranges in cost from $10,000 to $12,000. These expenses usually keep drivers out of races because the money has to come from sponsors if the driver doesn't have it. He said the "just-for-fun drivers” in the U.S. have disappeared.
When asked if he worked on his own car, Bennett replied, “I don’t do any work on my car. I don’t want to know where the weak spots are.” He went on to say that he prefers factory cars thus, he doesn’t worry about what he doesn’t know.
Has racing given him added insight as a Philosophy teacher? “Indirectly it’s kind of beneficial," he answered.
Sexism is Discussed
Bryn Hammarstrom, CCC student, introduced himself as "a white male sent to introduce a white male” at the opening of CCC's April 15 sexism seminars.
CCC's white male president. Robert Frederick, then delivered a formal opening voicing his support of an intensified crusade a-gainst sexism at CCC.
“From an emotional point of view, sexism is more difficult to deal with than racism.” where the president feels “we have made significantstrides.”
Rating the college's efforts against sexism, he gave the institution an A for following the set standards and a B- for spirit.
President Frederick said that he deplores what President Ford has done confirming the Affirmative Action Law and institutional changes. He said that he's “not letting Mr. Ford's retreat affect what we'll do on campus."
He sees a power play surrounding efforts against sexism which creates tension because “most white males are married to white females."
“We are faced," says Frederick, “with a whole host of interacting, complex issues." as he ended his kick-off by asking for action suggestions for combating sexism at CCC.
The audience then broke up into small groups to discuss several areas of sexism at CCC.
Sexism In The Curriculum A group of about 12 people discussing sexism in the curriculum came up with several ideas to offer as suggestions to dampen sexism at CCC.
Some said that they felt a need to read through the college catalogue to catch sexist references, such as he referring to a student or she when courses have been traditionally female. Wilma Beaman suggested the addition of the phrase “We encourage both men and women to explore all courses,” near the beginning of the catalogue.
Other suggestions included opening one-stall restrooms to both sexes, and doing away with the gift-paks given to entering freshmen which contain different articles for males

and females.
Each of six discussion leaders told where they are coming from on the issue of sexism, and related personal experiences in the area of sexism.
All who attended reported it to be a worthwhile hour.
Sexism In The Classroom
With a well-balanced panel including Pauline Leveen, Miriam Jenkins, Bill Gray and moderator Mickey McGuire, "Sexism in the Classroom” got under way in the Kelly Lounge.
All of the panel members found it hard to express exactly what was meant by sexism and what should be done about it. Bill Gray, a panelist said "It is not a game. We’re the only ones who can fix it. I've seen a lot of sexism in the classrooms on this campus.”
Many people both on the panel and in the audience felt that courses are branded. One case was cited in the nursing program, where the textbooks are oriented towards the female student with mainly females in the illustrations.
Pauline Leveen, CCC history instructor, stated the opinion that history has been mainly a male subject, although this has been changing in recent years. One reason for the male domination of the subject is that a male history teacher on the high school level could also be in charge in sports.
Miriam Jenkins, CCC English instructor, added that high school English teachers have been traditionally female because

Ramon y Cajal
In 1906 the Spanish histologist Santiago Ramon y Cajal received the Nobel prize in physiology for his “numerous discoveries and learned investigations” in neurology.
Using the silver staining technique developed by Camil-lo Golgi. with whom he shared the prize, Ramon y Cajal discovered the connections of the cells in the grey matter of the brain and the spinal cord, establishing the neuron theory enunciated by Wilhelm Waldeyer.
Ramon y Cajal also described the contrast between the structure of the neurons (nerve cells) and the ordinary cells of the body.
Ramon y Cajal was bom on May 1, 1852. He was what we now call a “late bloomer.”
Because of his poor academic record he withdrew from school, and his father, a country physician, apprenticed him to a cobbler and then to a barber until the son discovered his talent for drawing and began to draw' human bones for a proposed atlas of anatomy which was never published.
His academic interests now aroused, he attended medical school and received his license in 1873. He joined the Army and served in Cuba, then a Spanish colony.
After his Army service he became professor of anatomy and histology in universities in Zaragoza, Valencia, Barcelona and Madrid where he did the bulk of his work until his retirement at the age of 70.
He continued to be active, however, until his death in 1934.
they were also expected to direct school plays, a traditionally female job.
Also discussed was what Gray called “the systematic prostitution of female students” by male teachers. This was in reference to the habit of many of the male teachers on campus of paying more attention to the attractive females in their classes.
At the conclusion of the meeting a member of the audience stated dissatisfaction with President Frederick's introduction of the workshops at which, according to her, “He talked for only seven minutes and didn't say much on the topic of sexism.”
Sexism In Athletics
The sexism in athletics panel, including Mary Gail Lee, Elizabeth Knoerl, Jeanne Farmer, Cheryl Bat-ley, Donna Zimmer and Wayne Barton held court in the Small Lounge.
Most of the discussion centered around unfair treatment of women in the male-dominated field of athletics.
Mary Gail Lee discussed the discrepancies in budgets. citing the University of California at Berkley, where two years ago $540,000 was allocated for men's sports as opposed to $50,000 for women.

Use of facilities was discussed by Jeanne Farmer. At local high schools, she reported, females are allowed to use the gym from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Males are allowed to use the gym at any time.
Cases of girls being "kicked out” of the gyms by boys teams were also mentioned. At West High, for example, a girl's volleyball game was called with 50 seconds left to play so that the male baseball team could use the gym for practice.
Farmer also told of repeated instances of girl’s sports equipment being ruined by boys.
Women coaches are paid less than their male counterparts, according to Farmer. The women's basketball coach was paid $500 for coaching 14 games, while the men’s coach was paid $1200 to coach 28 games.
The biggest problem, said Farmer, is in the attitudes of men. “It can’t be measured. It’s a mental thing women have to face." She also stated that women in sports were a “threat to guy's egos.”
Cheryl Batley suggested that if CCC builds another gym they should give the presently existing ot\e to women’s sports.
On the Pennsylvania legislation Title Nine, which calls for co-ed teams in all sports, the women were adamant.
One audience member said "That's not equality. I don’t think that the girls are going to get a" fair shake."
Farmer stated “I don’t necessarily want to be good enough to play on a men’s team. I just want the chance to play against women from other schools."

UPI Baseball Picks James Gang Wins Intramural Title
By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL
Trades, rookies, newcomers, slumps and comebacks have a way of changing the baseball picture each season.
The way to pick baseball races would be to go with the defending champions. But it's not that easy.
One might say the New York Yankees improved themselves the most with Hunter and Bobby Bonds. But Baltimore was active in the winter trading mart, too.
It’s a toss-up between Los Angleses and Cincinnati in the National League West. A year ago they ranked one-tv/o in total victories in the majors.
The Dodgers are somewhat weaker in pitching without Tommy John, but still have a strong overall team. The Reds are better defensively but don’t have a Don Sutton and Andy Messersmith. The Dodgers and Reds were only four games apart last season.
The Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals were even closer in the East. The Pirates won by a game and a half. Philadelphia and the New York Mets have a chance, too in what appears to be the most wide-open race.
The Pirates have excellent hitting but little pitching. The Cards have good hitting and team speed but suffer from pitching. The Phils have good hitting and defense, but only fair pitching and no bench. The Mets have fairly good pitching, but questionable hitting and a poor bullpen.
In the end the divisional winners should be Philadelphia, Cincinnati. Baltimore and Oakland.

The James Gang led by the torrid shooting of team captain Rick James and a tenacious defense outlasted Harvard’s Bombers, 63-59 to capture the Intramural basketball Championship.
The game was a seesaw battle throughout the first half with the Bombers holding a 27-26 lead at intermission, thanks to a last second desperation shot by Ernie Harvard. Robert Watkins led the way for the Bombers in the first half as he canned 10 points. Rick James had eight for the James Gang.
The Bombers came out smoking in the second half as they took a 31-26 lead. But the James Gang would not quit as they quickly retaliated with eight straight points and a 34-31 advant-
age. The game remained seesaw until three minutes remained.
Then the James Gang reeled off six in a row to take a commanding 60-53 lead with little time left. But the Bombers came back and with 25 seconds left they trailed by only two at 61-59. The Bombers were desperate for the ball and they fouled Mike Allen who promptly sank both ends of the one on one to clinch the 63-59 victory for the James Gang.
Rick James led the way for the champs with 20 points. Kerry O'Shannick and Woody Knowles chipped in with 14 and 10 respectively. Tom Nelan topped the losers with 18 markers.
In action last week leading up to the Championship game. Harvard's
Bombers captured the right to play the James Gang by routing both the Corpse. 78-54 and the Doggers. 70-49.
In the victory over the Corpse, Emie Harvard led the way as he poured in 21 for the winners. The league’s leading scorer Mike Pieri could manage only 19. Emie Harvard also was the leading scorer in the victory over the Doggers as he bombed in 29 points.
A big key in the game was the fact that the league's second leading scorer, Louis Olivo, did not play for the Doggers.
The James Gang proved they were very worthy champions as their overall record ended up 13-1 as they won their last 13 in a row.
Great Moments in Sports
By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL
For nearly 50 years outfielder Sam Rice kept silent about his controversial catch in the third game of the 1925 World Series. But the baseball hall of fame has now released Rice’s own testimony, kept in a sealed envelope for the past nine years.
Rice-the Washington Senators' rightfielder who died earlier this year at the age of 84 - caught a drive by the Pittsburgh Pirates’ catcher. Earl Smith. Then he, stumbled into the low bleacher seats among the cheering home fans at Griffith Stadium.
Regaining his feet, he displayed the ball triumphantly as umpire Cy Rigler called the batter out.
The Pirates protested that Rice had dropped the ball when he fell and that a
fan stuck it back in his glove.
Rice’s Letter reads:
“It was a cold and windy day. The right field bleachers were crowded with people in overcoats and wrapped in blankets. The ball was a line drive headed for the bleachers towards right center.
I turned slightly to my right and had the ball in view all the way, going at top speed. About 15 feet from the bleachers I jumped high as I could and back-handed it and the ball and it hit the center of the pocket in the glove (I had a death grip on it).
I hit the ground about five feet from a barrier about four feet high in front of the bleachers with all my brakes on but couldn’t stop. So. I tried to jump
it to land into the crowd. But my feet hit the barrier about a foot from the top and I toppled over on my stomach into the first row.
I hit my adam's apple on something which sort of knocked me out for a few seconds but (Earl) McNee-ley arrived about that time and grabbed me by the shirt and pulled me out. I remember trotting back towards the infield still carrying the ball for about halfway and then tossed it towards the pitcher's mound. (How I have wished many times I had kept it.) At ho time did I lose possession of the ball."
The hall of fame said direct testimony from fans who saw the play supports Rice's version of the catch.
The Story of Wayne Barton
Wayne Barton - In his better days.
By VINNIE NYKIEL
Editor’s Note: This article appeared in the Crier on May 9, 1974. At that time Wayne Barton was in danger of losing his job because he was only hired as a stand-in for Neil Bulkley who was on sabbatical. Some of the article’s particulars are outdated, but the central idea is still current as Barton is now in danger of losing his job again through nearly the same circumstances, that of being originally hired temporarily.
As I rode with Wayne Barton, gym instructor at CCC, from the gym to Building and Grounds, one thing was very apparent: he loves his job. "I haven’t met a kid up here I didn’t like,” Wayne stated emphatically while we were on our way to pick up some materials to repair the canoes for the upcoming trip down the Susquehanna River.
“We can’t get enough money to have these canoes repaired, so I have to do the work myself," he stated as he poured some paint from the can to another container at Building and Grounds.
“This school has a lot of facilities, especially the
Phys. Ed. Dept., but it has potential for greater activities. One of them is canoe repairing, but at this time there is no money for it. Right now I spend most of my time with these canoes. But I actually like working on this, it’s a hell of a lot of fun."
Spending to 7 or 8 p.m. at night working is not uncommon for this hardworking teacher. The only thing is. Wayne Barton is not going to be around next year because he was only hired for one year to replace Neil Bulkley who took a one year leave.
Wayne was educated at Ithaca College and graduated in 1972, lettering in three sports including football and swimming. After substitute teaching for a year he took the job offered at Coming. “I had two other job offers, but was so impressed with CCC that I took the job. I’ve got some people working to see if I can get the job back in the future." As far as next year goes, Wayne has nothing lined up and really hasn't thought that far ahead.
Barton has taught such courses as tennis and canoeing and is this year's coach for the tennis team, which has compiled a record of 5-1. "The reason
why I got into this sort of work is that I like meeting different people," Wayne stated as he drove back to the campus to talk to the maintenance men about some materials he needed for the canoes.
After he got that straightened out, Wayne headed back to the gym. “I really like this place and I hope to be back," Wayne said as he rounded the circle on his way from the Commons to the gym on the wrong side yelling at the man in the Cushman that he was going the wrong way. "I've learned that the only way to get things you want a-round here is to ask for them politely and be as friendly as possible."
As we got out of the car to go into the gym. we went into the Nurse's office where Wayne grabbed part of his lunch out of the refrigerator. two hard boiled eggs, and said, "Well Vin-nie. I'm sorry that is all the time I have. I've got to get to class.”
So is the story of Wayne Barton and it seems to many that it would be a shame if he couldn't remain in a place that he likes so much.
