Smoke If You Will. . . But, NOT in the corridors or stairwells - PLEASE! You see, although it was allowed last year, fire regulations strictly pro- hibit smoking in these - and other areas - this year. No, we're certainly not opposed to smoking, but we do believe it should NOT be in the corridors or stairwells. Why? Well, ask any Sophomore! You'll soon hear how many of them were late for classes last year trying to fight their way through congested knots of students smoking on the \Mezz\ and Second Floor landings. And you'll hear how many of them dodged lighted cigarettes as they fought their way through. Really, 'though, it wasn't quite that bad - but it could be this year with almost 850 students on campus. So, please - smoke if you will - but NOT in classrooms, laboratories, library - cor- ridors or stairwells. 'Nuf said? And, if you have a question about where you may smoke, just refer to page 13 of the 1964-65 Student Handbook. A Statement of Policy... The ENTRICY HERALD is a student-operated publication and, as such, it will be your medium of expression. The ENTRICY HERALD will represent you, and you will be judged by it. Sen- sationalism is not our object, nor will we produce deathless prose or pseudo intellectual articles. At times we may be controversial, but we shall be factual. We look upon the responsibility entrusted to us, as your spokesman, as a distinct honor. Our goal shall be accuracy, honesty and sincerity - always. The strength - and life of the ENTRICY HERALD can be long and glorious if you, the Niagara County Community College students support it. Our newspaper is designed to inform students of act- ivities related to himself and the College. It is also an instru- ment through which the student can voice his opinion, frankly and without fear of rebuke, as long as the opinions are in good taste and free of malice. Let us not underestimate the power of the written word. Your opinion counts. We invite any student who wishes to question, or add to this publication, to do so by submitting a signed letter addressed to the \Editor.\ Letters will be printed in following editions of the ENTRICY HERALD. A special ENTRICY HERALD contribution box has been placed in the student lounge. Use it to advance your causes. Use it wisely in a manner befitting adults. . . . John A. Lewis As We, The Students See Life Today SHOULD 18 YEAR-OLDS VOTE? ( EDITOR'S NOTE: THIS QUES- TION, COMING AS IT DOES DUR- ING A PRESIDENTIAL ELEC- TION YEAR, DESERVES YOUR CONSIDERATION. WE NEITHER AFFIRM NOR DENY THE PRIN- CIPLES OUTLINED. THE ART- ICLE, WRITTEN BY A MEM- BER OF THE NCCC STUDENT BODY, IS AN EXPRESSION WHICH MIGHT, IN TIME, BE CONSIDERED BY RESPONSIBLE LEGISLATORS.) Since the special Presidential Commission on Registration and Voting Participation recom- mended that the voting age be lowered to eighteen, there have been many varied opinions ex- pressed. Some people believe that the 18 year-old should not be given the right to vote while others feel he should. Those who are against lowering the voting age to eighteen, whom we shall call the \no\ group, state that at the age of eighteen, a person is too young and too immature to vote. The members of this \no\ group say that an eighteen year old would be con- fused by all of the campaign speeches made and by the very act of voting. These people who are opposed to lowering the vot- ing age to eighteen say that an 18 year-old is not mature enough to choose the people who will run the government, work on the school boards, and represent our community. On the other hand, there are those who feel that an 18 year- old should vote. These we shall refer to as members of the \yes\ group. Those who are members of the \yes\ group believe that it an eighteen year-old is old enough to work for his or her- self, they should be allowed to vote. If the 18 year-old is old enough to buy liquor under the law and he is old enough to enter the Army, Navy, or Marines, etc., then he should be allowed to vote. Everyday, the 18 year-old faces the problems of adult life, yet he cannot vote. Society forces him to work and he can no longer say I'm a child who must look to my parents for money, but he must earn it himself. The members of the \yes\ group feel that 18 year-olds should be al- lowed the privilege of voting. Now that both sides of the pro- blem have been discussed from the adult point of view, let us look at the 18 year-olds point of view. The 18year-old is not, as many think, unaware of all that is going on around him. He is aware that the government is a very necessary part of his life. He further realizes that the elect- ing of the people, who will hold the offices In our government, is a very serious thing. How- ever, the 18 year-old is also aware of the fact that everyday of his life he faces thesamepro- blems that adults face. He feels that since he is able to work for a living, just as those over 21, he should be allowed to vote. This eighteen year-old had observed that when an immigrant comes to this coun- try, he can vote after obtaining his citizenship (which has await- ing period of only five years). Yet, the 18 year-old has spent his life here and still cannot vote. A Word From Our President .t is with pleasure and- pride that I welcome you to the Niagara County Community College. This is a young college, young in years and young in spirit, and yet already traditions have been set and goals and aims defined. There is a dedicated spirit of learning here, and a major concern for excellence. And, though this seriousness of purpose pervades all we do, yet there is also a way of living on this campus that emphasizes congeniality, con- cern for others, and socialization that is as important as the formal education in the classroom. It is these two aspects of college life that I wish each of you to come to appreciate, experience, and make part of your life. The world will survive and progress only if education and all of its by-products are brought into full play. This is your chance to \become all you are capable of being.\ The College can contri- bute much to your success. You, in turn, can contribute much to your College to help it progress. May I wish each of you happiness and success through the re- warding experience of learning, discussing exciting ideas and pro- blems, and achieving new skills; all of this while working with others who have similar values and desires. . . . Ernest Notar And Our Dean With this first issue of the college newspaper in hand, you have a bit of the future of Niagara County Community College. This paper will keep you informed of many events and circumstances as they happen on campus. Traditionally, a college paper is devoted to news of social events, athletic contests, convocation speakers, and the like. But at this time, during the very first week of classes, I would like to call to your attention the higher goals of your college education, namely the goal of success in your academic endeavors. This college education should provide a framework within which you can oper- ate effectively in an increasingly tech- nological and complex society. Through this education you can learn to think logically, develop value, judgment, and formulate habits that will be beneficial to you for the rest of your career. With a college education behind you your status in the community will be enhan- ced. Your imagination will be stimulated. You will reach for higher goals as you successfully accomplish one task after another. All this can be attained only if you are sincere in your efforts to succeed. This means devotion to work, loyalty to the college, and above all indebted- ness to your own desires. The time to start that work is now, not when you are in academic trouble. It is, as you are well aware, much easier to steadily climb than to climb again after you have lost your footing and slipped back a little way. This \slippage\ is a pitfall that usually claims its victims in the early part of the school year. The climb back is then accomplished only through cramming, the result of which leads to a disheartening college experience. The most important advice that can be given to students at the beginning of the school year is this. Know your shortcomings and try to do something about them. Evaluate your assets and use them to your best advantage. Understanding yourself is fun- damental to the achievement of a successful college education. The Dean's office is always available to help you in whatever way necessary, but the big job is up to you. Will you succeed or fail? The time to answer that question is now, at the begin- ning of this new college year. I can't simply wish you \good luck\ because luck has nothing to do with the educative process. I do hope you will have all the stamina and courage to succeed in the year ahead. . . . Roy I.
