Saturday, September 5, 1970 ITHACA JOURNAL 3 Works Hard For Opening By JUDITH HORSTMAN Journal Staff Writer School doesn't open formally until Thursday at the new alternate junior high school, but you'd never know it. The doors have been open almost all summer at the old BOCES Education Services building at the Northeast corner of Plain and Court Sts. that houses the new, junior high, and students and teachers have been there nearly every day. "Many members of the staff feel that school is already open," head teacher John Caron said with a smile. "Some staff have been working on the school everyday since school closed in June.

without a summer vacation, and students have been coming here on their Caron estimated that more than half of this year's student enrollment of 80 have been there at least once, helping out where needed, painting, cleaning, and getting to know each other and the teachers. The "paint-up, clean-up, get ready" would have been done by workmen, without student assistance, Caron, said, "but they wanted to "We think it's really unique that kids come to school before it opers," he said. "We feel it's very important to get to know the kids, and this is one The children seem to agree. A feeling of expectancy and belonging is present. In the main classroom newly-painted sunshine yellow by students a group of five youngsters had claimed a circle of old upholstered furniture, and sat reading quietly.

In a small room next-door, barefoot Abbie picked out chords on an electric guitar while two girls listened. In the annex, what used to be the BOCES auto shop, studnets were busier: moving tables, painting walls and floors and furniture it moves, paint it." one teaching assistant grins). Seventh grader Andrea Clayton, solemnly painting a small table blue, points out a wall she has painted and says, seriously, "This is a very interesting school." Clinton Davidson. who has spent "nearly every work day this summer here" at the alternate junior high, agrees. An eighth grader who went to Boynton Junior High last year, he is looking forward to "more freedom.

Here, you can say anything. You can choose what you want to do." But reserving judgment about the coming year, he says he'll chose a special project "when I see what it's really like." Does he think he'll be disappointed? "No!" "It's good," said his younger brother, Chris, who will be in seventh grade. "The kids are going to be helping each other, with a fun approach. Ken (a teaching assistant) was telling me they want the kids to think of things for themselves. Everyone will be sharing what they know." Chris, who has his own home chemistry lab.

is interested in "science and stuff like that. But you can do what you want. that's what's SO good about this school." Andrea finished painting her table and was adding a heart design to a mural that covers a large portion of the old auto shop floor. "You know what I like about this school?" she suddenly said. looking up from her design.

"I like the idea of movie making. Paul Crissey says we are going to make movies for English because we have to write "I like creative writing," said Diane Nordheimer, who was painting a green background next to Andrea's heart. Diane went to East Hill School last year. "But this year is going to be so much better," she said. fun of this school," Andrea said as she studiously painted.

"is that students get to HELP on things. Other places, they'd hire workman to come in and paint all it's more economical, really," Diane said. Meanwhile, Tyron Arnold, who had been perched on a ten-foot high ladder painting a mural on the wall, climbed down to greet his mother who had come to pick him up. "I've been away, so this is the first day I've been here." he said. Like Clinton, he went to Boynton last year.

found it Interested mainly in art. he chose to enroll in the alternate junior high school because "if there was a different way of teaching, I thought I'd try it." This reporter found Tyron's statement echoed by the teachers and teaching assistants. What we really should stress is that what we're doing is teaching in different ways," said Formed by Ottinger Conservation Party Ruled Off N.Y. Election Ballot Crissey, one of the professional teachers at school. "We can't be sure at this how radically different material covered will be, but will be covered in several different ways." With a staff of professional teachers from Ithaca school system and assistants from the Cornell University Human Affair's Program, there will be a ratio one teacher to each children.

"In this school, we won't the personality conflicts between child and teacher that are almost unavoidable in other Crissey said. 'A child can choose not what he wants to learn, but whom," said Michele Whitham, one of the assistant teachers. kids will be able choose which way they want "We want to make it clear them what doors they open close by their choice," Crissey added. "There are certain skills a child needs the point to offer him different ways learn them." Basic skills needn't encompass reading and and math, either, says Clossen, coordinator of assistants. "Understanding society coming to grips with a problem, learning to make an intelligent choice that is also a skill." he said.

Community volunteers also play an important role: a child goes too fast for us, wants to learn something can't teach him, we'll someone who But the school intends to "selective" about volunteers, "We want people who sensitive to students, who communicate."

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) The new Conservation party, formed by U.S. Rep. Richard L. Ottinger, was ruled off the state election ballot Friday by Secretary of State John P.

Lomen20. Ottinger, the Democratic candidate for U.S. senator, had formed the party to give himself a second line on the ballot. Adam Walinsky, the Democratic candidate for attorney gen- a eral, also had sought to run on the Conservation label. Lomenzo ruled that their nompetitions were invalid inating, the name of the new party was too similar to the name of the established Conservative party, which had filed objections along that line with Lomenzo.

In New York, Ottinger's campaign manager, Stephen Berger, called the decision "politically motivated," and said Ottinger already has "taken legal steps in the State Supreme Court" to validate the petition. He did not detail the action. "We believe the petition is perfectly legal and valid," he said. "The 33,000 people who signed the petition to create the Conservation Party should be At the same time, Lomenzo threw out the petitions of the new Right To Life party on the ground that it did not contain the minimum 12,000 valid signatures required to run for statewide office. This party was formed to seek repeal of the state's liberalized abortion law.

Lomenzo's ruling on the Conservation party, besides affecting Ottinger and Walinsky, applied to these candidates for lesser offices: William Dretzin, running for Congress in the 25th District in the Westchester area; Joseph Simmons, running for Congress in the 32nd district, in the Southern Tier; Albert J. Riley, seeking a State Senate seat in the 44th district, in the Utica area; Assemblywoman Mary Anne Krupsak, Amsterdam Democrat, who was seeking a second ballot line, and Aubrey Alberding, running for the Assembly in the 117th district, in the Oswego area. on Lomenzo's ruling applied only to persons seeking offices in districts that overlap county lines. His office does not rule on petitions for offices in districts. wholly within a county.

Thus it did not immediately affect the candidacy of U.S. Rep. Richard Max McCarthy of Buffalo, who is running on the Conservation party line in a district entirely within Erie County. McCarthy, a Democrat, gave up an opportunity to run on his own party label during his aborted attempt to win the U.S. Senate nomination.

Lomenzo's office said it would be up to local boards of elections to rule on Conservation party petitions filed with them. Lomenzo ruled against the Conservation party because, he said, "the name selected for the independent body was almost identical with the name Conservative party, except for the last two letters and is contrary to the requirements of the election law." State law forbids use by a new party of even a part of a name of an established party. Ottinger's forces contended that the law could not be interpreted to their disadvantage because the words Conservation anc Conservative were not the same. Conservative party objectors argued, however, that there was sufficient similarity to confuse the voters. Lomenzo made his rulings aiter conducting hearings on objections filed with his office against the Conservation and Right To Life parties.

His office reported that pro- ORDER YOUR NEW CHEVY VEGA NOW FOR EARLIEST POSSIBLE DELIVERY. Bill 3ikakis Chevrolet, Inc. 401 ELMIRA RD. ITHACA, N. Y.

The party sought to run Mrs. Jane Gilroy, a 34-year-old housewife and mother of five from Merrick, L.I., as its candidate for governor.

Lomenzo's rulings reduced to a potential maximum of 10 the number of parties seeking lines on the November 3 state election ballot. He has yet to dispose of challenges to petitions filed by the Courage party, an offshoot of George Wallace's 1968 presidential bid, and by the Independent Alliance party, formed by Conservative Senate candidate James L. Buckley to give himself a second ballot line.
