CHHONICLZ VOLUME 25 NUMBER 3 NOVEMBER 15,1989 JEFFERSON COMMUNITY COLLEGE OUTER COFFEEN STREET WATERTOWN, NEW YORK 13601 A 'New 9 Name! We have a new name for the paper. It was suggested by Gary Burke. He named it; he won! (Won what? We still don't know!) But, anyway, if you see this handsome creature walking around on campus, say \Hi!\ to him and congratulate him for naming the paper. The staff loves it! The Jefferson Chronicle student newspaper is published monthly throughout the school year by the students of Jefferson Community College.

EDITOR: Kathleen Leonard CONTRIBUTERS: Philip Belcher Briget Boyles Kim MacDonnell Steve Nunemaker Jade St. John Carol Ponzi ADVISORS: Steve Brown Susie Wood The Bomb Bluff By Steve Nunemaker Star Lake Leadership By Kim MacDonnell October 6-7, 1989, a group of J.C.C. SGA students took a trip to Star Lake. The students got involved in a Leadership Training Program. At 8:00 a.m. Friday morning, we took off on a new adventure to find out the leaders in ourselves. When we reached the camp, we first got ourselves situated. At 11:00 a.m., our training began. We broke into groups of two. IThis was the Ice breaker. Most of us did not thoroughly know one another, so we had to tell a tale or two. We started by telling our name, what activities wer are involved in, the positions in those activities we hold, our attributes or strengths, the most difficult part of our position, and the one thing we would like to change at J.C.C. We then got into groups of four. We had to introduce our partner to the other two in the group and vice versa. We then again, got into a large group and followed the same procedure. The training for the morning ended with a break and everyone headed for lunch. We spent the 12-1:00 noon hour, playing Ping- Pong, Pool or just wandering around the camp ground. At 1:00, it was back to the training room. We went through a personal profile system. We talked about our management profile, its strengths and weaknesses and strategy for improve- ment. We discussed the profile system from 1:00-2:30. Then we proceeded to deal with a problem solving task. It was a marriage partner puzzle. We got into two large groups. We each had a card that gave us a clue as a group, we had to figure out what man and woman was married. The paper contained several names which we had to figure who was married to who by the clues we held in our hands. This concept dealt with the elements of effective decision making. As a group, we learned a lot: we could put the facts together, talk about them and decide what the answer was. We reviewed our work and as a group decided it was the right one. At 4:00 p.m. we took a break. We went on to play volleyball and visit the lake. Later on, we ate dinner. We resumed our training at 7:00 p.m. by doing a consensus. This told us what motivates student leaders. From this task, we discovered something about our innerselves. Some found out they were dominant. The were definite leaders. Several discovered they were in between, and a few were analytical thinkers. It went both ways; some agreed with the survey and some said, they are a little of others or all. It was a neat exercise that we all joined in. Between the hour of 8:00-9:00, we dealt with a conflict resolution task. We again broke into two large groups. We did a task where one group would try to accumulate as many points as they could. It's hard to explain, so just imagine. It was fun, especially if your group won. This concluded the evening classes for the day at Star Lake. The next day at 8:00 a.m. everyone had breakfast and went to classes again. At 9:00, we participated in an application process, solution to your major problem. At 10:00 a.m. we concluded with a wrap up and evalua- tion. Our leadershjip training came to an end. As J.C.C. students we learned a lot from this weekend. We made new friends, discovered new things about ourselves, made group decisions and tried to perform as a leader among others. On behalf of all who wer involved, thanks for taking us on this leadership weekend. Just when you thought it was safe to get an education at J. C.C... TERROR STRIKES!!!! Yes, on Tuesday, September 19, 1989, students were working diligently (or otherwise) in their respective classes at J.C.C, when they were informed that there had been a threat of a bombing of one of the buildings on campus. Since a matte of such gravity does not occur every day at J.C.C, most students did not believe the report. Neverheless, they were all quietly herded out of the buildings by their professors and other staff. Out in the parking lot awaited a couple of fire trucks and several police cars, lights flashing. This sight burned in the minds of everyone that this bomb threat was really a serious matter and was being treated as such by the school administration. Evidently, the administration had received a phone call from anonymous source, saying that a live bomb had been set in one of the buildings on campus. Without delay, the school administration called for the immediate evacuation of all students and faculty from the buildings on campus. The fire department and the police department were also called. The evacuation was carried out smoothly and quickly, and as soon as the campus was cleared, the police initiated a search for the bomb. After a thorough search, they confirmed what many people had suspected already- there was no bomb, and the call was a mere prank. The police and fire fighters left, and classes were resumed within an hour. The reactions of the students while all this was happening were mixed: some wre really upset and having to miss out on classes, some were overjoyed at having to miss out on classes, some were thrilled at the prospect of having something as novel as a bomb to shatter the monotony of their lives, some were frightened, and some tried conspicuously not to look sinister or suspicious, so the police wouldn't shoot them or anything; and some didn't care one way or the other. As for myself, when our professor told us of the bomb situation, I thought, \Ah ha! This is obviously a drill of some sort. We're all gonna go out in the courtyard, mill around for a minute or two, then come back to .class. No problem!\ Ah, well, I'm entitled to be wrong at least once this year anyway. In general, I was very impressed with the speed and efficiency with which the school administration handled the bomb scare. They sent a clear message that they take such things very seriously.
