we Present +-7 'I-4 S-4 O F-1 +5 rn GJ -IJ Ol-4 Or-4 f-1 GJ Professors in Prison Every week twelve Cayuga County Community College instructors went behind bars at the Auburn Correction- al Facility. These instructors were in- volved in the collegeis educational pro- gram at the prison. The director of the prison education was none other than Benjamin Ahner, sociology professor. The fall semester began with seven- teen courses taught by twelve Cayuga County Community College instruc- tors. Of the courses taught sociology and psychology were the most popular. There were approximately 120 inmates involved in the program each semester. Professor Ahner found his classes at the prison a contrast to his regular col- lege classes. The students at the prison were consistantly better students and scored approximately five points high- er on tests in comparison to their Ca- yuga County Community College coun- terparts. The courses taught at the prison were exactly the same courses taught at the college with the exact same tests. The inmates were generally more motivated because of the desire to improve themselves and the hope of getting a better job when they return to free society. Besides Proffessor Ahner, other in- structors were William Barth fdata processingj, David Ford Cmathematicsj, In the technical building, down the stairs, in an office sits a man with a huge pile of books. This man is Mr. Scott Barnes, economics teacher for Cayuga County Community College. As he gave me the following informa- tion, Mr. Barnes, dead pan humor of- ten made it hard to tell if he was seri- ous. Born in the little town of Chicago, Mr. Barnes lived in different states: Wisconsin, Tennessee, Oregon, and West Virginia. He has been teaching here for eight years. However, that is not his true life ambition-he really wants to be a zoo keeper. He attended Ripon College and the University of Tennessee, where his most difficult decision was whether to be an economics or psychology teach- er. lt was fate that chose his career, with Mr. Barnes' flip of a coin. He went on to teach at a college in West Virginia, where he heard of Cayuga Victor Garlock fbehavioral sciencej, John Hvosda fsocial sciencej, Richard Klinger fdata processingj, Alexander Lazorik fbusinessj, John McClellan fsocial sciencej, David Richards fsocial sciencej, Thomas Steenburgh fsciencej, and Dr. William Schwab fdean of in- structionj.

Three-hour labs that ae- companied each course made sciences unique.

People in Earth Science climbed down gorges to study water- falls and walked through fields to look at glacier remains. Physics students found the course tougher than expected, and most had to struggle to get a high grade. The first courses in Criminal Justice were offered in 1965.
