VP Barr resigns
Attrition hits student government
Ex-VPSA Stephen Barr
feels disassociated with the
student body.
By Peter J. Pavia
Stephen Barr, Student
Association Vice President,
resigned, effective last week.
In an interview in his office,
a reflective Barr explained why
he took the job in the first
place.
"I felt my experience around
campus being involved with
clubs and organizations would
really help in my role as SAVP.
My familiarity with the bur-
eaucratic structure would help
the Student Association better
utilize it's time; meeting stu-
dent's needs whenever possi-
ble.
"I was extremely optimistic,
that's not to say I'm not now,
but to a lesser degree.
Barr pointed out that his
resignation has absolutely
nothing to do with Student
Member, Board of Trustees
Tom DeRoller's resignation,
"nor any other Student Govern-
ment resignations so far this
year."
The former SAVP then point-
and so does rep DeRoller
By Lee M. Stasczak
Major changes took place in
the Student Association Senate
recently, affecting not only
them but also the Presidential
Staff as well. At the Senate's
meeting last Tuesday after-
noon, Student Member of the
Board of Trustees Thomas
DeRoller submitted his
resignation.
Appartently this action took
several people by surprise, as
one Presidential Staff member
mentioned that "It was a shock;
I'll be sorry to see him leave."
Mr. DeRoller, a former
senator, relinquished his posi-

tion on the Board to pursue full
time employment. He will
become a part-time student,
which makes him ineligible to
hold the office.
Also taking place at the same
Senate meeting was the selec-
tion of a Chairperson and Vice-
Chairperson of the Senate.
Joanne Borrelli moved up to
Senate Chairperson from Vice-
Chairperson, while fellow
senator Dawn Klafehn took
Joanne's Vice-Chairperson
seat.
The Student Senate shake-up
began earlier this semester
when two senators, Raj Khani-
jow and Colleen Hendricks,
left their Senate seats. They
were replaced two weeks ago
by newly-selected Robert
Wheeler and Lawrence
Guilford, Jr.
Yugoslav agreements signed
for educational exchangesBy Jeff Yorio
Now that the dust has settled
from the Yugoslavian con-
ference, results are now
available. In New York, two
written agreements were sign-
ed between S.U.N.Y. and the
University of Zagreb and bet-
ween S.U.N.Y. and the
University of Croatia.
Next spring, a delegation,
representing S.U.N.Y. and the
two year colleges that the
Yugoslavian delegation visited,
will spend approximately two
weeks in Yugoslavia to
hopefully accomplish specific
exchange agreements.
As Yugoslavia is in the pro-
cess of "reformation" among
their two year colleges, they
are beginning to institute pro-
grams that have been in use for
a long time here. It is also
hoped that administrators can
learn from them to help in-
crease student involvement in
collegiate government and
more programs geared directly
by industry.
For Dr. Koch, this is the
culmination of three years of
hard work in laying down the
conferences, which have
developed a deep spirit of com-
radry amongst the organizers
of the conference for both the
United States and Yugoslavia.
ed to a mail folder he had used
at a recent out of town leader-
ship conference as a physical
representation of his feelings at
the time. The folder was adorn-
ed with a scatological self por-
trait and several other negative
comments. "At the time I did
this, that was the way I felt.
Negative," he said.
"This is not a spur of the mo-
ment thing, I've considered it
for many weeks."
He cited several independent
factors as criteria for his deci-
sion. Barr said that he's
frustrated because of feelings
of disassociation with the
general student body.
He went on to quote from an
essay entitled "The Student as
Enemy of the Student" written
by Ronald J. Stupah, Associate
Professor of Political Science at
Miami University, Oxford,
Ohio.
". . . those who have risen to
the top of the student pyramid
(the BMOC; big man on cam-
pus) though elections, appoint-
ments, clubs, and honoraries
have not only tended to disas-
sociate themselves from the
masses of students, they have
tended to become even more
elite oriented than most faculty
members and administrators."
"I feel I have succumbed to
that," said Barr. "I took a look at
myself and said, hey, this is
what's going on."
"Today, I walked down the
hall and the great masses didn't
know who I was, they didn't
know what SAVP was all
about."
Barr showed the strains this
decision has taken on him.
"Look, I want you to get this
straight. . . you're someone I
knew. . . (and) trust to convey
the facts accurately. . ."
Barr works at a Pittsford ski
shop to support himself and ac-
tually needs more hours than
his demanding role as SAVP
had allowed him to work.
"My grade point average has
slipped to 2.86, which I know I
can improve with more time
and added effort. I'd lost my
perspective on my educational
goals.
"I felt that I wasn't helping
the students, that the only per-
son I was helping was myself.
"I wanted to give Mark
(Spall) enough time to replace
me and it would make me feel
better if the position was filled
as early as possible. I want
someone in this position by the
first day of classes next
semester.
"You can call this my official
statement and I really have no
further comment other than
my official resignation."
The process of selecting a
successor is unclear. Right
now, a Senate sub-committee
would be formed to interview
candidates and make ifs re-
commendation to the whole
Senate.
Student Association Presi-
dent Mark Spall commented in
a telephone interview:
"I support Steve's decision
one hundred percent. If he
can't spend as much time
academically as he thinks he
should (because of SAVP posi-
tion) then of course he's done
the right thing."
He also added further in-
sight: I can understand the
pressure (within the job itself)
let alone all the pressure every
student faces.
You have to understand then
when you go to a meeting and
speak, you're speaking for the
entire student body. It's a sub-
tle pressure that's always there.
"It is unclear to me just how
the selection (for a successor)
will be made," said Spall.
"However, I feel the selection
should be initiated from the
president's office and then
ratified by the Senate.
"I'm glad Steve realized
academics take priority. The ti-
tle is Student Association Vice-
President. The importance of
that prefix, student is what it's
all about."
The new loan limits for inde-
pendent students ($3000 per
academic level to a cumulative
maximum of $15,000 for the
BA, BS degree) will be pro-
grammed into NYSHESC com-
puters to be effective January
1, 1981. Thus any student who
applies for more than the cur-
rent loan limits, and whose ap-
plication is processed by the
Corporation before January 1,
1981 will receive a rejection or
reduced loan approval. Appli-
cations for supplementary loan
amounts should be submitted
during late December to avoid
this complication.
All applications from first-
time borrowers for terms on or
after January 1, 1981 are being
held by NYSHESC. They will
be delayed until the revised
terms of the loan can be indi-
cated oh the approval notice
(i.e. 9 percent interest, six
month grace period).
Any students who are apply-
ing for loans with the assump-
tion that the funds will be
available to pay tuition on
Monday, December 29, 1980
(Tuition Due Date) should
make alternate plans. Loans
applied for under the condi-
tions described above defi-
nately will not be available.
Students applying for loans
under the current regulations
should expect a minimum
processing time of eight to ten
weeks. If you have any ques-
tions, please stop by the Finan-
cial Aid Office (Building 1,
Room 203).

Upcoming spring course to study reincarnation
Is there life after death?
By Bill Kress
' There's more to look forward
to in the spring semester this
year than warmer weather and
sunshine; The History and
Political Science department is
offering a new course that will
shed some light on some of
your darkest thoughts entitled
Reincarnation: a Global Per-
spective.
This seminar, which is being
taught by Dr. Peter French,
will look into the phenomenon
of reincarnation in relation
with most of the world's
religions and customs. Rein-
carnation is the basis of Hin-
duism, plays an important role
in Buddhism and exists in
Christianity to some extent,
Says Dr. French, 'There is an
aspect of reincarnation in
every religion in today's
world."
French also pointed out that
this idea of life after death
opens for the scientist,
whether physical or social,
"possible and plausible alter-
natives into the cause of death,"
and acts as a compliment to the
known cause of death.
Time is running out
BEOG-TAP
It's not too late to apply for
Basic Grants and TAP, if you
haven't done so already. You
may still be eligible to receive
Fall, 1980 and/or Spring, 1981
BEOG and TAP awards. Fill
out the Financial Aid Form
1980-81 and TAP Payment Ap-
plication 1980-81 right away. A
few minutes of your time could
mean dollars for you. DONT
PUT IT OFF ANY LONGER!!
This course will examine his-
torical and philosophical views
and the student will do some
fairly concentrated research in
their area of interest. Through
this, Dr. French hopes to at-
tract both those physical and
social scientists interested in
this study.
French acquires his compre-
hensive background in this
field to his many years spent in
Asia and in dealing much with
foreign religions. At one time,
early in his career, he had also
concentrated as a Theological
student. Originally involved in
Greek and Roman history,
French is now teaching in
Asian Studies. Reincarnation: a
Global Perspective (HIS 180) is
scheduled for Tuesdays and
Thursdays from 11:00 to 12:20.
Prof. Henry French is intro-
ducing a course in reincar-
nation.
La Boutique feature column
Keeping pace with the changing scene
By Josephine Lobza
La Boutique is a new bi-
weekly column which will in-
form you of future fashions
and trends.
I will also be answering
questions you have about
fashion. Just drop* off your
questions at the^Monroe Doc-
trine office and they will be
answered in r subsequent
issues.
If you know of any upcom-
ing shows, drop off all informa-
tion about the show at the MD
office three weeks prior to the
show to ensure publication of
the material.
Some tips to remember
while choosing clothes are:
- don't wear double belts,
spike heels, and cowboy hats.
- do wear the basic inch to
one and a half inch width belt,
made in an array of colors and
styles made from cloth or
leather.
- reduce the height of heels
this season from three and a
half inches to a totally flat heel;
also try the color gray and a
paten leather texture.
For the last two years,
fashion emphasis was on
casual wear, especially the
cowboy look. This year the
cowboy look is toned down to
just wearing the cowboy boot,
making way for Indian style
clothes. Try apparel with fr-
inges, headbands, and
mocassins.
Finally, don't forget to ad-
dress all letters to La Boutique
and drop them off at the
Monroe Doctrine office.
Emergency action could save someone's life
CPR course to be offered
By Lee M. Stasczak
"Quick! Call a doctor - he's
stopped breathing!" Those are
words I hope you never have to
hear, but if you did, would you
know what to do? Many hun-
dreds of lives have been lost
due to heart attacks, and many
have died because someone
didn't know CPR (Cardio-
Pulmonary Resusitation), or
didn't give the victim proper
CPR.
CPR is easily learned; it only
takes less than eight hours of
your time to become certified
to practice CPR. . . and that's
eight hours of your life well
spent. True, you may never
need to give "the breath of life"
to someone, but just think that
if you did and didn't know CPR
and the victim (possibly a
loved one or a friend) died,
could you live with the thought
that they could have been sav-
ed by CPR?
Winter is almost upon us -
the worst time of year for heart
patients. Please, take the time
to stop in the Monroe Doctrine
office and sign up for a CPR
course. Since the maximum
students I allow in a class at
one time is 10, and the
response has been very good, I
will be teaching at least three
more CPR classes here at
MCC, possibly in December
and January. Watch for infor-
mation on an interest and
organizational meeting for
those who signed up for
classes. If you have any ques-
tions, please stop in the Monroe
Doctrine and see me or leave a
note in my mailfolder.

Winter funr ski excursion
Between semesters, the
MCC Ski Club is sponsoring a
week long ski trip to Mt. Sut-
ton, Canada for all MCC
students and their guests. The
busses leave MCC Sunday,
January 4 and return Saturday,
January 10. Mt. Sutton is
located north of Vermont and
east of Montreal. Mt. Sutton of-
fers a variety of 25 trails and
slopes to coddle the beginner,
and challange the expert. Sut-
ton has roughly twice the ver-
tical of Bristol. Their six chair
lifts and 3 T bars virtually
guarantee no lift lines.
The ski package includes all
transportation, a five day ski
pass, 20 hours of lessons, six
breakfasts, six dinners, and
seven night's lodging. Depend-
ing on the lodging accommoda-
tions chosen, the complete
package price is $180 or $215.
Equipment rental is available
at the mountain for approxi-
mately $35/week. Students de-
siring the optional Physical
Education credit for the trip
must attend a pre-trip meeting,
and complete a take-home
final exam. There is a $ 10 extra
charge for PE credit, provided
the student is registered full
time for spring.
Non-skiers who would like
to learn to ski will be delighted
with the special beginner's les-
sons provided by the mount-
ain. If sufficient interest is
shown, a special racing class
will be offered this year, in ad-
dition to the regular five levels
of recreational classes. Those
interested in cross-country will
be delighted with the 21 miles
of cross-country trails depart-
ing from the hotel.
The trip is open to all MCC
students, and their guests. To
sign up for the trip or the
optional PE credit, contact the
Student Activities Desk as soon
as possible.

Women's soccer —
'they love the thunder'
By David Rivers
;
To get it, you must give it
up." That seemed to be the
trend of thought that balanced
this year's women's soccer
team. But don't kid yourself,
when they took the field, "they
loved the thunder." Forty-
seven goals in eight games
worth. But to ask the players,
they'd tell you that the goals
weren't the most important fac-
tor in the Tribune's fine season.
"Winning is number one,"
said Amy Measer, "an<
assisting on a good play is just
as satisfying as scoring one."
If there was any rough seg-
ment in the team's season, it
came on their first road swing
(Colgate, St. John Fisher, Le-
Moyne) where they gave up an
average of three goals a game,
but still won two of three.
Injuries to experienced
players (Laura Catracchia-
knee, out for season, and
Claire Drexler-chipped bone in
left foot, out three games)
coupled with inexperience, left
uncovered areas in the defense
which resulted in most of the
scoring. One player who avoid-
ed injury and had a good view
of the situation was goalie
Aleta Maynard: "In the beginn-
ing of the season, there were a
lot of holes in coverage. People
weren't covering an area and
there was a lack of com-
munication. Michelle DeMar-
co was one of the reasons for
improvement. She started to
get a good feel for position and
as a result, there were fewer
areas left uncovered."
"We started using the goalie
more," added Karen Francis,
"and there was more trust in
one another." She continued in
saying that an article appearing
in the Monroe Doctrine after the
LeMoyne game (about the
goalies having no chance)
seemed to incite them. Karen
set a school record by making
four saves as sweeper in a
game against Colgate. Claire
Drexler and Karen both admit-
ted that Peggy V xe's steady
improvement helped to turn
the situation around. After the
LeMoyne game, the defense
allowed less than a goal a game
(0.75).
The midfield (Jennifer
Haney, Sue Dambrowski,
Chris Carlin, Donna Coluzzi,
Shaunn Robson, and Sue
Moon) helped keep a tight seal
on their area while dishing out
17 assists and netting seven
goals. Their patience and ex-
pertise in using the entire field
kept the grass mowed. Donna
Coluzzi, Sue Moon and Shaunn
Robson each had three assist
games. It was Shaunn who
sealed the victory against
Wells College with her two
goals in the second half (within
30 seconds) and Sue Moon's
spectacular looping volley over
a perplexed Fisher goalie for a
goal will be remembered by
both clubs.
The front line (Betsy
Richards, Robin Skinner, Amy
Measer, Louise Palermo, and
Jill Levesque) played basically
the same all year - superb.
The key move here seemed to
be Robin Skinner from right
forward to center forward.
That's where I wanted to
play," said Robin. "Louise
(Palermo) and Amy (Measer)
were such great players, I just
wanted to set them up."
Robin did, however, manage
some rebounds of her own, and
although all* three were
freshmen of the school, they
certainly weren't freshmen at
the game. Both Amy and Robin
admitted to playing soccer for
over eight years.
It seems encouraging that
their first year was such a suc-
cess, but it could also be con-
sidered a standard year in
which other teams will be
judged. Even though the team
has twice as many freshmen as
sophomores, the sophomores
will be hard to replace. At any
rate, we'll have to let the future
judge that.
Amy Measer (left, top) team leader in goals with 16, and was co-leader in assists with
10. Shaunn Robson (left, bottom) 10 assists at midfield position. Aleta Maynard (right,
top) goalie, had a record 17 saves against Fisher. Karen Francis (right, bottom)
sweeper, had record four saves vs. Colgate. (Center) Donna Coluzzi moves in to con-
trol ball vs. Syracuse.

X-country survives season
By Jed I. Master
Prospects seemed bright for
the Tribunes Cross Country
team this past season: Last
year's team''had a respectable
5-3 record, was second to
Alfred in the Penn York Con-
ference, and was forth in
Region III and seventh in the
State. To top it off, Coach Dave
Chamberlain was named
Region III Coach of the Year.
Although a few of their top
runners were lost to gradua-
tion, the freshmen who were
expected to return this season,-
added with the new influx, the
team seemed ready to topple
Alfred for the Penn York title,
and challenge for the top three,
in the Region. However, only
one returned, this season's
second-man, Paul Klein. One
other runner from last year
Shapiro sees Westchester as team
to beat in Central Trust Classic
ByJohnKuehl
On paper, the Second An-
nual Central Trust Classic
looks like a toss-up, but
Tribune coach Murph Shapiro
feels that the club from
Westchester CC is the team to
beat for the top spot. "Return-
ing starters and size" are the
key reasons for Coach
Shapiro's ranking.
Westchester head coach
Ralph Arietta's feature is last
year's Region XV Tournament
MVP 6 foot 6 inch center Aldo
Rowe. He will be flanked by
two notable transfer students,
both of whom made the "All
New York City" team, 6' 5"
David Crosby and 6' 4"
Winston Nicholas, at the for-
ward spots. Returning starters
Kevin Hunt and Jeff Harris,
both over six feet, in the
back court give Westchester a
sizable and experienced star-
ting five.
However, before handing
Westchester the crown, take a
look at a very fine, upset-
minded MCC squad.
Returning from last year's
31-6 Region III Champions are
four players who figure to be
the nucleus of this year's team.
The club has tremendous
depth at the center spot with
second-year man 6' 6" Bob
Sodoma, and Mark McManus, •
also at 6' 6", who comes to MCC
from Madison, by way of a
three-year stint in Germany.
McManus will add experience
and maturity at the key posi-
tion. Other second-year men
include last year's third leading
scorer, point guard Henry
Scott, 6' 4" forward Craig Em-
merling, and last year's sixth
man, Paul Hood. Paul's main
claim to fame so far is his
strong performance in last
year's Regionals, including the
winning basket against
Broome in the final seconds.
New faces on this year's team
include Fairport star John West
at guard, and two East High
grads, 6' 3" forward Todd
Echols and, by way of Indiana
State, Mike Barkley. West was
the leading scorer for Fairport
and there is hope for more of
the same on this court. Echols
and Barkley will also add
firepower at the guard posi-
tions.
Fine performances are ex-
pected from six foot guard Al
Mitchum, who made the All-
Greater Rochester squad in
1978-79, from Jefferson, and 6'
4" Caledonia-Mumford pro-
duct Jim Dollard.
Pennsylvania's Floyd
Moreland and 6' 2" forward
Ron Young from Bayside, New
York, round out this year's
Tribunes.
Talent off the bench could be
the key to the team this year.
This is the best conditioned
squad I've had," summed
Coach Shapiro, "and we hope
to use our quickness and
pressure defense to compen-
sate for any lack of height we
may experience."
Last year's 31-6 season will
be difficult to improve upon,
except in one area — student
support. A home court advan-
tage means nothing without
cheering spectators. Help
make 1980-81 the best season
ever by cheering the Tribunes
to the title, beginning with the
Central Trust Classic on
November 28 and 29.
was ineligible, and two others
were nowhere to be found. To
make matters worse, a promis-
ing freshman quit the team
before the halfway point in the
season. The team had been
stripped to a bare minimum of
five runners, who were led by
first-year man Larry Klein
(brother to Paul).
Although this brother com-
bination placed consistently
well in races, inexperienced
first-year runners could not
take up the slack. Further, in-
juries, which seemed com-
monplace among all fall sports
this year, cut away at the
already small force (Paul Klein-
ankle, Art Pavone-knee, and
Wanda Hammond-ankle).
"I was looking forward to
returning this season," said
Paul. "Afterall, I expected the
others to return from last year.
The way we talked last year,
we thought we might have an
outside chance at (winning) the
States. I recruited my brother
to help out - he had been out
of high school for a couple of
years, but had the experience
we needed. He's done well in
many road races, and a couple
of marathons. Needless to say,
he was as disappointed as I.
Then I twisted my ankle early
in the season, and my times
gradually slowed as the injury
worsened. I probably had
three or four races this year
where I can say I did very well,
the rest I won't even talk
about."
The high point for the
women this year came at
Ashtabula, Ohio in the Lake
Erie Invitational. The three
women (Wanda Hammond,
Debbie Pavone, and Barb
DOnofrio) comprised the only
team in that race, and won the
Women's team trophy. Last
year, the men placed second in
that race, and this year, they
took last.
One bright spot Coach
Chamberlain has to work with
for next year, is first-man Larry
Klein, who set a school record
of 26:42 on MCCs 5.1 mile
course. Chamberlain expects
to build around him next
season.
"Larry's in good position right
now to move to the front of the
pack in the state next year,"
commented Chamberlain. "I
was debating whether this was
to be my last year as coach, but
I'm staying on for another year.
I've heard reports of some fine
runners that may come out
next year, I only hope it won't
be a repeat of what happened
between last year and now."
Although the team did not
fare too well this year, they
stuck it out and pulled through
some heavy water. As un-
predictable as the sport, we'll
have to wait until next fall to
see not if, but how much the
team improves.

in a row Lisa has won the title.
The Men's 8-Ball finals pitted
Curt Ehrlich against Gregg
Waffle. Ehrlich had to defeat
Waffle two straight matches,
due to the tournaments double
elimination system. Curt did
just that, 4-3, 4-3 and the match
was as close as the scores imp-
ly. Both men shot really well
and had equal chances to win
the title. Third place went to
the always tough Tim Cassidy.
Because there were more
than 14 participants in this
tournament, both Ehrlich and
Waffle are able to represent
MCC in the State Finals.
Each first place winner has
his or her name engraved on
the Rec Room wall plaque,
honoring past winners. Along
with this, each first place win-
ner will represent the college at
RIT this January in the state
games tournament. They will
compete against other colleges
around the state, with hope of
making it to the National Com-
petition.

Soccer takes one step further
By Paul Klein
Tougher competition on the
schedule, returning key
players (including an Ail-
American), and a strong
freshmen nucleus figured to be
Coach Joe Mancarella's for-
mula for winning the
Regionals. Key injuries held
the team away from their goal,
as five members were lost with
knee injuries early in the
season. Perhaps what hurt
most, was losing All-American
Ken Wilkens, who was hurt in
the first game against Mercer
CC. This forced Coach Man-
carella to juggle his lineup.
"We added three new teams
this year to make this the
toughest schedule in 17 years,"
commented Mancarella. 'This
had to be one of the most ex-
citing teams I've coached.
Because of the injuries, the
men played the best' they
could, and that added some ex-
citement."
Some of the bright spots in
players included Del Smith -
high scorer with nine goals, six
assists (15 total pts.); Ken
DiStefano - nine goals also
(but played in only nine games
because of illness); Spiro Gogs
- seven goals, seven assists;
Gary Pasano - his two goals
beat Hudson Valley in OT 4-3
in Sub-regionals; freshmen
Mike Champan (from Canada
- did a fine job at midfield),
Dave Nelson - another fine
midfielder who consistently
pushed the ball up offensively,
Ron Nettnin - assist on the
winning goal vs. Hudson
Valley, and Ed Schuler -
Coach Mancarella invited him
out from a gym class (he con-
tributed a couple of scores).
Goalie Marty Pavone cannot
be overlooked either. His fine
goalkeeping earned him a spot
on the All-Regional Second
Team.
Although their record was
9-6-2, the team should be con-
gratulated for fine play, even
when they were down. On the
underside of the coin, they had
to play four teams ranked in
the top 20 in the nation for
junior colleges (including
number one Morrisville). They
did make it one step further
this year, to the regionals,
whereas last year, they lost in
the sub-regionals. Perhaps next
year, they can take one more
step to the top of the region.
OFC wins second in a row
By Phil Ander
The OFC Intramural Floor
Hockey team won their second
championship in as many
years by defeating the
Charlotte Islanders, 2-1. Mike
Shone opened scoring on a
screen shot early in the game.
With two minutes to go, Jim
Conaughton made it 2-0 and
then Kevin Yost of the
Islanders broke goaltender
Kevin Malloy's shutout with
one minute left in the game.
OFC was led by a strong
defense of Roger Stein and Bill
Schemer, and an outstanding
offense of center Chris Uttaro,
and wings Chris White, Will
Kinsella, Bill Henry, Jim Con-
aughton, and Mike Shone.

Interested in a
program change?
By Loretta C. Brown
Counseling Center
ARE YOU uncertain about
your career goals and program
of study at MCC? If so, you
may benefit from career ex-
ploration and counseling avail-
able through the Counseling
Center. This process may lead
you to want a program change;
if it does, here are some things
you need to know.
You will probably be asked
to attend an informational
meeting where you will meet
with a counselor and a depart-
mental representative from the
program into which you want
to change. Length of time need-
ed to complete degree re-
quirements, pre-requisites, job
outlook, nature of the pro-
gram, salary and suitability of
the new curriculum to you will
be discussed.
Applying for a program
change does not guarantee ac-
ceptance into the program. The
deadline for applying for a pro-
gram change that is effective
Fall 1981 for the Health Career
areas - Dental Hygiene, Nurs-
ing, Medical Lab Technology,
Radiographic Technology and
Medical Records is December
1st. No applications can be ac-
cepted during the Spring
semester for these Health
Career areas.
The deadline for making a
program change for programs
other than Health Career areas
is also December 1st. Applica-
tions for programs other than
Health Career areas may also
be made for the Spring
semester on a space available
basis.

Brought to you by the

Continuing Education
students, please, remember
that although education is one
of the most significant ways to
pursue career or personal
goals, it should never encom-
pass your entire life. If you've
been running yourself crazy by
enrolling in three or four
courses - in addition to your
already full schedules (family
responsibilities, work respons-
ibilities, leisure time), perhaps
next semester would be the
time to cut it back to one or two
courses. Leaving time for "you"
is important. In order for your
education to be most useful
and rewarding, it should be
run in easy partnership with
the other aspects of your life.
You may find that both your
education and your life will be
enriched if you'll remember
these thoughts as priority regis-
tration and registration days

Don't get caught with drugs
By Gene Powers
Being caught with drugs can
hurt the student in more ways
than the person realizes. Ac-
cording to Brian Dumka, MCC
Security investigator, "once
arrested, that charge will be on
the student's record for the rest
of his life, even if found inno-
cent of the charge." This could
lead to difficulty in finding
future jobs once the employer
finds that blemish on the stu-
dent's record.
A more immediate concern
would be the various discipli-
nary actions taken by the
school once brought to the
Dean's attention. These actions
range from an oral reprimand
by the Vice-President to possi-
ble expulsion of the student.
It is apparent that the school
will not tolerate flagrant uses
of any illegal drugs in or
around the campus. This can
be heard from Dean Gigliotti
backing this statement to the
fullest.

How can a biographer
lie? — Unterecker
By Wendy Wright
"The Biographer as a Liar"
was the topic of author John
Unterecker's lecture last week.
But how can a biographer, if
he pledges to write accurately,
be a liar? Unterecker argued
that "the truths a biographer
gets are peculiar truths," since
he deals with two types of
materials: letters and
memories.
Essentially, Unterecker said
that letters and memories are
fleeting; letters are lost or
destroyed and memories are
often distorted but Unterecker
is "desperately in search of let-
ters" because they "capture the
statement of that time."
The University of Hawaii
professor wrote a biography on
the American poet, Hart
Crane, and Crane's letters serv-
ed as essays. Unterecker was
obligated to quote from them
because of that, he said.
Unterecker went into great
depth about Crane's life, men-
tioning various anecdotes,
which really didn't seem to fit
in with the theme of the lec-
ture.
'Kramer' exceptional
but for screening
John Unterecker, author and lecturer, feels that "the
possibility for immense human relationships exists in all
of us."
He told how Crane's father
invented Life Savers and
"adulterated maple syrup" by
adding tremendous amounts of
sugar to it.
Crane was bi-sexual and had
a male lover who signed
'Please Posf:
a SUNY showcase
The creativity of the modern
poster-maker will be spot-
lighted here at MCC from No-
vember 17 to December 12 -
Monday thru Friday from 10
a.m. until 2 p.m. This exhibi-
tion, entitled "Please Post" will
showcase 68 posters from 26
different SUNY campuses.
Included in the show are
three award winning posters
from MCC done by our Publi-
city coordinators present and
past, Barbara Kleman-
Belanger, Tracy Lennox-Kane,
Jean Wilhelmsen, entitled
"Art," "Asian Art Exhibit" and
"Fools Fire Mime Song."
Most of the posters an-
nounce various cultural events
on the campuses, such as art
exhibitions, theatrical perfor-
mances, music and dance con-
certs. Others announce pro-
grams of study or promote
campus calender highlights.
The emphasis of this exhibition
centers on the diversity of all
aspects of poster-making. For
example, stylistically, some
posters are straight-forward
photographic images, some are
original illustrations and draw-
ings, and other are composed
of type only. There is also a
wide range of printing techni-
ques used to reproduce these
images, from silkscreen to let-
terpress to four-color offset
lithography. And it is clear in
many cases that the campus
sponsors had varying resourc-
es available when producing
their posters. Some of the
works in the exhibition are
low-keyed, elegant. Others at-
tempt to capture the attention
of the audience by being cam-
py or funky. Some works are
traditional, other experimen-
tal. The designers come from
different backgrounds and
training: some are students,
some are faculty, and others
are graphic professionals from
the educational communica-
tions departments.
What these posters have in
common is that they succes-
sfully solve the problem of at-
tracting and informing their
audience about a specific event
or program - they "work" as
posters and as creative art.
"Please Post" was organized
by The Plaza Gallery at State
University Plaza in Albany,
and will tour State University
galleries through 1981.

postcards "Love and kisses,
Emil." Crane did have a female
lover, but even so he jumped
overboard from a ship and kill-
ed himself; "he couldn't face
life anymore," Unterecker
commented.
Eventually, Unterecker
came to the conclusion that
human relations are like
chemical bonds, since "bonds
are different for each person."
He maintained that such
bonds are a "private communi-
ty," and "secret bonds exist as
well as overt public ones."
Humans achieve "the
deepest bonds with people we
don't know," he said. And the
possibility for "immense rela-
tionships exists in all of us."
'The observer alters things
observed, and it's the biograph-
er's duty "to report the variable
truths about the subject. . ."
There are "no objective real-
ities in biography," Unterecker
concluded.
It was a peculiar, rounda-
bout means to an interesting
end.
By Lee M. Stasczak
The drama and tension of
divorce and separation filled
the Little Theatre as "Kramer
vs. Kramer" was presented
November 11, as part of the
Tuesday Night Film Series.
The starring roles went to
Dustin Hoffman, (Ted
Kramer), Meryl Streep, as his
wife Joanna, and Jane Alex-
ander as Joanna's best friend,
divorcee Margaret. Cast as the
Kramer's first grade son, Billy,
was young Justin Henry. Justin
acted the part so brilliantly and
with spontaneity, he captured
and enveloped audiences in
the movie.
Joanna Kramer, wife of Ted
Kramer, who is a very succes-
sful advertising executive who
just received the most import-
ant account in the firm's his-
tory, is having trouble focusing
on her own identity.
Meanwhile, Margaret, re-
membering how she felt when
her own spouse left, befriends
Ted, and the pair become (on-
ly) close friends. In fact, she
has a profound effect on Ted
Kramer's life: he is often seen
with Joanna's former friend in
the park, sitting on a park
bench and getting the low-
down on other friend's soap
opera romances and the best
way to wash dishes.
Joanna gets her act together
and re-appears several months
later to claim rights to Billy,
only to find that Ted has be-
come an accomplished
"mother." A sensitive, dramatic
court scene ensues, and during
that time we see the true ef-
fects of divorce in Billy's
behavioral change: he is
moody, picky, high strung,
frustrated and confused; he
somehow imagines his parents
don't love him and that their
divorce is his fault.
The ending is a real, sensitive
and very touching scene,
which we'll draw the curtain.
Unfortunately, the only flaw
about the movie was the pre-
sentation. "Kramer vs. Kramer"
is a four-reel film; although one
must change reels, the transi-
tion is usually smooth. Tues-
day evening the movie had to
be stopped three times during
the first reel alone due to faulty
sound. All together that even-
ing the movie was stopped a
total of four times; the last time
was during an intense,
touching scene, and just when
everyone was reaching for
their Kleenex tissues, the film
was halted, the house lights
went on and everyone was sit-
ting in the Little Theatre, tears
streaming down their faces,
staring at each other. Having
run an Audio-Visual Club for
three years while in high
school, I feel qualified to voice
certain observations: regular
classroom projectors were us-
ed to show the film, and the
audio system was faulty and in
dire need of repair.
I have already written a let-
ter to Mr. John Trevison,
Director of Student Activities,
informing him of the situation.
Mr. Trevison assured me he is
investigating the matter of faul-
ty equipment and will take ap-
propriate action.
"Kramer vs. Kramer" was an
excellent movie all around,
and I recommend it very
highly. It rates five stars.
Rating:
3 stars: Definitely see this!
4 stars: Quite enjoyable
3 stars: Gets by
2 stars: Go if you must
1 star: Stay home!
'Promises, Promises' coining Saturday
The show "promises" a fine
evening this Thursday, Friday
or Saturday at 8 p.m. in the
Theatre: a script by the comic
genius of stage and film, Neil
Simon; songs by the award-
winning team of Burt
Bacharach and Hal David. For
the past two months co-
directors David Smith (drama)
and Tom Fittipaldi (music)
have worked with M.C.C. ac-
tors, musicians and technicians
on a production that matches
the talents of the authors.
The story line sketches out
the comic possibilities: a young
man rises in the corporate
world by letting higher ex-
ecutives use his apartment for
their affairs. A young woman
trades extra-marital unhap-
piness with a top executive for
true love and a new lease on
life with the young man.
(Remember Jack Lemmon's
film "The Apartment"?)
Students Tom Giancursio
and Kimberley Lowney play
the roles of the ambitious
young man (Chuck Baxter) and
the unhappy young woman
(Fran Kubelik). They join in a
number that features the
show's best known song, "111
Never Fall in Love Again."
Each reappears with another
hit, Giancursio to sing "Pro-
mises, Promises," and Lowney
to sing "Knowing When to
Leave."
Several energetic dance
numbers, choreographed by
Jane Smith, include "Where
Can You Take a Girl," danced
by the executives, led by Brett
HawkesasJ. D. Sheldrake, and
Turkey Lurkey," a rousing full
cast enactment of the office
Christmas Party.
Tickets for the musical, co-
sponsored by the Free Theatre
Club and the Speech/Theatre/
Music Department, are
available for 50 cents in ad-
vance with M.C.C. I.D., or
$1.00 general admission at the
door. The event is open to the
public.
Singers a sheer delight
By Johnny Williams
"Superb!" Touching!" "Elec-
trifying!" These arejust some of
the comments that echoed
through the theater Friday,
October 24. The soul-stirring
MCC Gospel Singers provided
a stimulating treat for Christ-
ians and non-Christians alike.
Mere words alone cannot des-
cribe the spontaneous ap-
plause or sheer jubilation
displayed within the theater. "I
am overwhelmed about the en-
tire program," commented San-
dy Dyer. "I thought the turnout
was great." I really enjoyed
myself," said Camille
Chandler, the new president of
the Gospel Singers. Camille
took over office after Sandy
graduated in August with a
degree in Liberal Arts.
The Master of Ceremonies
was CBN's own Asko Sawyer.
Also performing were Faith
Temple Full Gospel Choir, and
The Brotherings from the Lilly
of the Valley Church of God in
Christ. They provided us with
glimpses in the past of the good
old gospel times. The program
also consisted of numerous
soloists who expressed their
talents for this occasion.
In a peculiar way the MCC
Gospel Singers have proven
successful after months of
planning and being frustrated
it has paid off. This was the
2nd Anniversary of the Gospel
Singers. However, with their
performance one would
suspect they have been around
a lot longer.
One of the most touching
aspects I witnessed that night
was watching the group sing in
unity. It appeared that out of
all the obstacles they have en-
countered previously, one
common bond held them
together, love.

New System
eases registration
Editorials on top of editorials
have been written about regis-
tration — usually on a negative
note - because of registration
lines. But this year the story is
different, and the Records and
Registration office should be
commended.
They alphabetized the regis-
tration process this year to
eliminate lines. It has worked;
lines have been reduced con-
siderably.
One registration staffer said
that with the old system,
everyone came on the first day
to sign up for courses. But be-
cause the schedule was broken
down alphabetically this year,
there wasn't a rush to be first in
line.
The staffer also said that the
schedule had to be alphabetiz-
ed because of the record enroll-
ment of 11,000. Could you im-
agine the situation if it wasn't?
Lines would probably be
stretching three times around
the Brick Lounge.
It's just too bad this idea
wasn't brought up before in
spite of no record enrollment.
Students have enough to worry
about in college instead of
standing in line for two hours
when they could be studying.
Registration lines are now
one less thing to worry about in
college, but even so, book store
lines are the next on the list.
Save yourself some trouble and
buy your books over vacation.

Tom Wells, meterologist
on top of weather
By Debra Anderson
"I've taught Metereology and
Astronomy here at MCC for
the past 2Vz years," said Tom
Wells, a member of MCC's
Geo-Science Department. He
has taught here since 1968, the
year the school opened. "We
used to hold our lectures in the
gym, nicknamed 'the barn',
with over 400 students in each
class," Wells said.
Besides being seen at MCC,
Mr. Wells can be found on
Saturdays at 6:00 and 11:00
p.m. on Channel 10 reporting
the weather/
"I started doing television
back in 1973, and for three
years I reported on the weather
five days a week at 6:00 and
11:00 p.m. I then quit because
of personal reasons," stated
Wells, but in February, 1979 I
started doing the weather for
Channel 13. This October I left
and began doing the weather
for Channel 10." Mr. Wells also
does fill-in reports for forecast-
ers on vacation or who are sick.
"Dr. Myron Cucci, the Chem-
Affirmative action programs necessary
To the Editor:
This letter is in reference to
Mr. Eric DiLella's letter "Action
makes for inequality," which
appeared in the Monroe Doc-
trine two weeks ago.
I am not usually one to en-
gage in the practice of stereo-
typing people. However, after
reading DiLella's article care-
fully, several times, I believe
that it is reasonably save to
assume that he is a white stu-
dent from a middle class back-
ground who, like so many
others, does not understand
the immediate necessity for
more well defined, effective
and strictly enforced affirma-
tive action programs. The need
for such programs is urgent!
Not only at MCC, but in bus-
iness and institutions through-
out the Rochester Community,
as well as around the nation.
For this student to suggest
that there is no need for affirm-
ative action programs, clearly
implies that he is unaware of
the fact that in 1980 we are still
living in a racist society that
continues to systematically dis-
criminate against and oppress
certain peoples simply because
of the color of their skin. If he
is aware of this, then he must
feel that it is not his responsi-
bility as a human being to help
wipe out all forms of racism.
And if that's the case, then how
can he claim to believe in
equality? Equality can and will
be achieved only if people
work to make it a reality. •
DiLella's views as expressed
in his letter are very narrow-
minded, simplistic and even
ridiculous in the sense that he
seems to believe that the phen-
omenon of "reverse dis-
crimination" has developed in-
to something concrete and real.
Reverse discrimination is only
a racist idea that has been in-
stilled into the minds of in-
dividuals to promote separa-
tion of blacks, whites and
others. If Mr. DiLella is in-
terested in learning and truly
understanding why affirmative
action programs are nec-
essary, I suggest that next
semester he might consider ad-
ding History 103, Sociology
200 to his academic schedule
or any other course(s) that may
aid him in understanding the
manifestations of the inequi-
table conditions that exist in
America today.
It's really quite understand-
able how a student, particu-
larly a white middle class stu-
dent who does not know or un-
derstand the history of black
people in America, might feel
offended and deprived by af-
firmative action. However,
Mr. DiLella and others of his
mentality must remember that
black, latin, native American
and other so called minorities,
even poor whites have been
playing a game called "catch
up" for quite some time now.
The problem is that each time
we struggle to make a step for-
ward, along comes an idea like
reverse discrimination to set us
back a step or two. If condi-
tions are not created and main-
tained which are conducive to
this game, then how can equal-
ity ever be achieved? When
and if it is achieved, your wor-
ries will be over because the
need for affirmative action pro-
grams will cease to exist.
Think about it. . .
Howard J. Eagle
Full time day student of
African descent
Tom Wells, astronomy professor.
istry Department Chairperson,
told me about a vacancy for a
forecaster at Channel 13, I ap-
plied and was accepted. So, in
October, 1973 I began my
weather-reporting television
career."
Mr. Wells taught General
Science at Rush-Henrietta Jr.
High School before coming to
MCC.
"I like working on my car,
gardening, anything that keeps
me busy," commented Wells,
"I'm also involved in the Press
Radio Club, which raises
money for children's charities,
and the Strong Children's Fund
that raises money for the com-
munity, to help children." The
Press Radio Club has donated
over $200,000 to the communi-
ty over the years.
Mr. Wells is married and
doesn't have any children. He
went to the State University of
Plattsburg for his undergradu-
ate work and for graduate
school he went to the Universi-
ty of Houston.
"I enjoy life and my work is
part of it. Whenever I go any
where I am always introduced
as a weatherman, but I would
prefer to be known as a teacher
at MCC. Students come to my
classes thinking it will be a
breeze, but I prefer students to
know that I will be a demand-
ing teacher." said Wells, "I real-
ly like teaching at MCC and I
am very proud to work here."
Sidewalk construction
finally finished
By Brett Hawkes
Building and repairs on cam-
pus just never seems to stop.
The most recent is the tearing
up of the sidewalks in front of
building five, cost for the pro-
ject is estimated at $9,000.
The reason for this project is
safety. It's being done now
because the money just came
through three weeks ago.
In the past, the sidewalks at
the entrance of buildings five
and eight have been natural
collection points for water
after every rain and spring
thaw. The ponds that results
often become ice rinks in cold
weather. Though the ice may
be a source of amusement to
some, it is a dangerous hazard
for the unwary and the handi-
capped. The maintenance de-
partment has been aware of
the problem for some time
now, but a two year old re-
quest throught the Community
. Development Fund was only
recently approved by the coun-
ty to alleviate the hazard.
Drains are being placed in
the walkways at five and eight
to carry off the excess water. In
addition, these walkways and
part of the walkways around
building four are being relaid
and leveled to provide cleaner
drainage and smoother access
for the handicapped. The job
was contracted out to H. T.
Marsden, a local construction
firm two weeks ago and work
was begun last week.
Work on the walkway in
front of building five should be
finished this week. The work
at buildings eight and four
should be started soon, so that
by the time the iceman cometh
to MCC, there will be two less
problems for us to worry
about.
