Letter To The Newspaper Dear Readers: Smokers' rights are being pushed aside at JCC for the so called protection of the non- smokers. It is ridiculous that the college provides no indoor designated smoking area. Nevertheless, smokers have the right to smoke. The student boyd and school faculty should keep in mind that at this time smoking is still lega. There- fore, the school should provide a smokers' room. This room should be warm and well ventilated, so smokers will not be exposed to the cold weather outside, where they can catch a death of a cold. Right now having to go outside is extremely aggravating for the smokers. Why should smokers be treated anyless than non- smokers? Both should have their rights rpotected. Smokers want equality and freedom of choice just like the non- smokers, which to this day is still guaranteed in the American Constitution. Smokers don't want to be treated any longer as second class citizens at JCC.

Winners Announced in 14th Annual Photo Competition Photographs of wooden Indians, night skiers, and unusual patterns took top prizes in Jefferson Community College's 14th Annual North Country Photographers Com- petition. Thirty-six photographs by 12 different photographers were entered. All the pictures are on display through Saturday, Nov. 30, in the Jefferson Community College(JCC Gallery, which is located on the second floor of the Melvil Dewey Library. The exhibit is open to the public. Participating photographers were recognized at a reception Insensitivity or Ignorance? How did you spend your Saturday night? For'the first time in months I was able to relax and relax and watch a little television. Having the opportunity to view some of what the industry promotes as \entertainment I find myself outraged. 'Saturday Night Live', often credited for it's creativity and innovation exposed it's audience to a new low in distasteful humor. A skit entitled, \Head Wound Harry\ not only crossed the realm of good taste, but was an affront to my senses. The esisode was too disgusting to describe. Follow that with a few hours of music videos, which some- times assaults our sensitivity and compassion. Guns and Roses, 'Don't Cry' video promotes the battering of By Lauri Elliott women with two separate scenes of a woman being assaulted. As if that weren't appalling enough, Metallica's new video, 'Enter Sandman', shows a young boy, approxi- mately nine years old, involved in a nightmare dream sequence. As his nightmare begins he is plucked out of bed and shown, rather vividly, drowning and is then involved in a scene where snakes are allowed to crawl over him as he sleeps. As a journalist, I would be the first to rally for our right to free press, but I wonder why Michael Jackson stirs contro- versy smashing a windshield with a tire iron during his video 'Black or White', yet the battering of a woman airs with little public outcry. I realize that I have the power to change the channel anytime that I am offended, but my concern is, \What do I do when my children are drawn to explicit scenes designed to assault the senses?\ With daily parenting, my children long ago learned of television's good and bad merits, and the reality of it's images, but the dramatic images presented with split second accuracy linger in their minds. I am still optimistic enough to hope that our society has not annhilated it's own sensitivity and compassion. I believe we have not yet anesthesitized the human spirit. If television pro- gramming continues at it's current level though, we may yet find ourselves completely numb to appalling images. Perhaps it's not insensitivity, but only ignorance.

History has proven this time and time again. Jim Morrison, Jan is Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn are just a few of the names that sadly have come to pass. For many of us, the name Stevie Ray Vaughn seems to stand out, thought; we ex- perienced his death. The others almost seem insignificant as the reverberations of their death never touched us. The shock, denial and burning pain of knowing a guitar legend has passed on, literally before our eyes, seems overwhelming. Conjure up the sadness you felt that day in August of 1990. You will experience it again as you listen to \The Sky Is Crying\ the tribute album that Stevie's brouther, Jimmy, released in his memory. This is neither a greatest hits album or an attempt to make money off the Steve Ray name. This is a tribute to his life. You feel the emotion bursting forth from his guitar as he plays. The never before released tracks take you on the roller coaster ride of this life. Each song taken from different times in his career, shows his change in style and how he developed his unique sound we've come to know as Stevie Ray Vaughn. The man, the emotion, and the guitar are all you get on this album. It seems like fate that these songs were not pre- viously released. Thank you Jimmy, for giving us an album that will touch our hearts time and time again. The Chronicle Philosophy The mission of the Chronicle staff is package a forum of student ideas.
