done? Wasn’t it M. M.?, or was
it L. P.?-, or could it have been
G. G.? Would you believe all
three!!
A raid around 9 p. m. by
Mrs. G. and Mrs. C. was in
order to check up on their pre
cious little “angels."
We were attacked by Mrs.
C.as she staunchly defended the
native intelligence and innate
talents of our chief competitor
. . . Stick together, girls!!
Even “Twiggy” F. was there
to fill out the fashion scene
in her jacket and jeans; ac
companying her was “Piggy ”,
along with “Plunger" and “Trot
ter.”
SQUIRREL PARK - Oct. 31,
5-7 p. m.
The outdoor party was not a
real out and out blast, but it
was well attended and support
ed. It was all for a good cause
though. We are sure that the
money will be a big help to the
Murfreesboro Rescue Squad.
There were a few mad bomb
ers in the crowd. We hope none
were so indiscreet as to get
caught. Past experience has
taught us that the Administra
tion deals harshly with offenders
of this nature.
The Pig Chase should have
been called “8 Seconds to the
Slaughter.” The pig would veri
fy this we re sure il ne were
in any condition to!! Next
time (?) we suggest using more
than one pig or cutting the odds
down to less than 200 bloody-
thirsty boys on one firghtened,
30 year old pig. Maybe a greas
ed gorilla would have had a
better chance of survival!!
We hope all the slaves were
happy with their new masters!
Is it true that one was sold for
15 pieces of copper? Ask B.A.B.
We hope the party will set
a precedent for future Hallo
weens. If it was not all that we
expected it to be, at least it
was a start. If possible, we
would like to see it become an
annual Chowan tradition.
LATE NEWS FLASH . . .
As mentioned in our last col
umn, a “panty raid” was rum
ored for the night of Oct. 29, at
or around midnight. This rumor
became a fact two days later
on Thursday, Oct. 31 at 12 p.m.,
when 100 to 300 boys from all
the major dormitories made a
bee-line for the other side of
campus with (?) on their mind.
The whole thing was soon
brought to a standstill when
our faithful Deputy Dog made
jhis usual call to the police and
Big Brother on the ‘hot line."
Our favorite campus Solon made
the scene, megaphone in hand,
and sent the boys scurrying
back to their respective dorms,
panties and other attire in their
hands.
Despite the threats of tear
gas and night sticks, however,
this situation lasted only a short
while until the departure of the
police. The boys soon reorganiz
ed and made another charge
amid cheers from the others
who were left in East Hall and
front of Mixon.
The second charge was dis-
persedwhen the police again ar
rived and made several arrests.
During this episode, they repeat
edly sent students to convince
the troops in the dorm that no
one was being arrested. (When
in doubt, lie your way out?)
The whole “party” was final
ly “pooped” when Dean Lowe
and an assistant, threatened
those caught out of their rooms
with suspension. After that, the
movement fell apart except for
a few scattered groups of hold
outs who at last gave up and
went to bed with the rest.
Note to Assistant; A bull horn
is to be spoken through, not sha
ken above the head like a club
while screaming one’s lungs
out!
exaggerated, ” he claims. “No
body lives like Perry Mason,
except maybe Raymond Burr.”
The 35-year-old criminal law
yer has gained both fame and
notoriety for his defenses of Sam
Shepare, Carl Coppolino, Albert
DeSalvo, the self-proclaimed
“Boston Strangler,” and Charles
Schmidt, the “Pied Piper of Tuc
son. ”
In his speech to Arizona trial
lawyers, Bailey discussed tech
niques and persentation of evid
ence in criminal cases.
Bailey said an average murder
case requires over 500 hours of
advance preparation. In an ex
traordinary case such as the trial
of Sheppard, thousands of hours
are needed.
“The search for truth is second
ary today," he explained. “The
criminal lawyer searches instead
for evidence which will raise a
reasonable doubt that the de
fendant committed the crime.”
He said almost anything is
admissible as evidence if pre
sented in the right way and
almost anything is objectionable
if presented in the wrong way.
“There are two good reasons
for video tape, ” he pointed out.
"First, it makes a good record.
Second, it is possible to go back
over the tape and see the reaction
of your cUent to certain questions.
This is important in evaluation
the credibility of his story and
cannot be determined by just
hearing his voice. ’ ’
Speed is the utmost importance
to the defense counsel, said Bail
ey. He commented, “a lawyer
should be able to question faster
than a lying witness can make
up answers. ”
As the winter months come

For the convenience of all stu
dents dresser drawers and clo
sets will not be furnished in
the rooms next year. Instead
only one large suitcase will be
provided so it won’t be necessary
to pack on weekends.
The Student Union has asked
that the students dress up to
eat in there. The place has been
getting a bad name.
Chowan’s geography course is
very interesting this year. But
several students have asked that
they be tested on bull sessions
instead of text material.
To pass the time away in
your Tuesday and Thursday
classes try counting the students
that are asleep or faking it.
