Marvin Miller, executive di rector of the Major League Baseball Players Association, advised the member players they were free to sign contracts and report to the training camps. Previously Miller has in structed the members, who in clude most of the stars and reg ular players, not to sign con tracts until an agreement had been reached on increased pen sions and other benefits. Under the agreement an nounced by both parties, they will recommend a 3-year agree ment to the players and the owners. The owners agreed to put $5,450,000 annually into the play ers’ pension fund and to lower eligibility from five years play ing time to four years. CORRECTION Under the article “Pub announc es change; to now have “happy hour” in the last issue of the Smoke Signals. A pitcher of beer will cost only 35cents is incorrect, it should read a pit cher of beer will cost only 65 cents. , ■t'T- Coach Jerry Hawfkins looks over prospects. Open letter from Coach McCraw As coach of the Braves’ basket ball team, I have had many pleasant moments in association with them. This year’s squad, without question, is the finest group of men with whom I’ve ever t>een associated and I can not hide the satisfaction I derive working with them. I must also say I’ve enjoyed, very much, the opportunities I’ve had to talk with the student body about this year’s team; they have been very interested in the team and show they care a great deal for them. This feeling was so clear as I looked at the faces of those 50 or 60 students who gave up the comfort of a warm room and sleep to come out in the cold at 4 and meet the team on its return to campus. Chowan had handed Ferrum its first loss at home in 51 tries spanning a period of five years, and its a great feeling to be associated with them. But equally as great was the impressive support shown by those sleepy, but appreciative people. If they were as ready for sleep as I was, they made a great sacrifice to come down to the gym at that time of night (?). We appreciate also the con gratulatory note (?) from Jen kins Hall; it shall hang in the gym throughout the remainder of the season as a reminder of your great support, indeed that of the entire student body, after which I intend to “confiscate” it and hang it in my office till the memory of that game is clouded by time; and that will take a long, long while. Believe me when I say, the players, managers, and coach appreciate the support and know it will continue. That support will make Chowan, your team, a better team each time it goes on the floor. Tournament All persons wishing to enter the ping-pong tournament should enter by Febriiary 28th, 3 p. m. in Dean Collins’ office. Winners will receive points awarded to the dorm’s total points in intra mural competition. Mickey Mouse watch valuable By FRANCINE SAWYER That old Mickey Mouse watch your parents gave you when you were a tot, means big bread today. A student here at Chowan dug up one the other day and was kind enough to share it with me. David Hunter, of Murfreesboro, came across this bit of the past. Today that old ‘Mickey Mouse’ has a starting price of no less than $175 and the price climbs on up to at least $300 not bad for a watch that sold for retail at $3 some 26 years ago. The reason for such a high price is because real Mickey Mouse watches of the original nature are extinct. To find a Mickey is to find part of the expenses of college. Another reason and maybe the most important is the fact that these watch es are collectors’ items. The reason collectors go mad over a simple Mic key is because these watches are con sidered camp. In case you aren’t aware of what camp is, well, camp are items tnat have been re-discover ed. Things you and I have been so used to that we just take them for granted. Humphrey Bogart, old advertise ment signs, Clark Gable, and anything from the thirties, this is what is so- called camp. In other words, it’s what our parents were living in. It’s their era. It’s really a take-off or put-on (whichever you prefer) of the good guy, the hero image. And who is to argue that Mickey Mouse wasn’t a good guy! I listened to David’s Mickey Mouse tick. It ticked old and hollow. It was oblong and Mickey's hands moved to the time of red numbers. For an old Mouse of 26 years, he does well to tick. So if and when you hit the puberty stage you decided you were to old and tough for a Mickey Mouse watch and threw it away, you can only sit back and watch Mickey Mouse car toons and cry.

Beach clothes in fashion limelight By LUCIE NOEL AP Fashion Writer PARIS (AP) — Givenchy, ac knowledged arbiter of elegance, presented in the Paris fashion shows today a spring and sum mer line with accent on beach clothes, and on windowpane line-checks done in silk, cotton, wool and synthetic. He makes news with a wrist- length and sometimes knucke- length tunic, occasionally belted in the back with slashed side vents. Hemlines are normally about one inch above the knees for daytime and this lends new pro portion to the clothes, highly ap proved by Paris magazine edi tors. Givenchy remains true to his principle of distinction and fi nesse. He bares the feminine figure through the midriff for beachwear and leaves off bras for evening. But he uses triple layers of chiffon to hide the bare bosom. Givenchy features pants and pants suits topped by tunics for holiday and seashore wear. For city wear they step forth in dark or printed hostess costumes. The' ingenue comes in for adorable dresses touched with white and worn with floppy starched linen handkerchief square brims or French peasant coifs and sunbonnets. Focus is on necklines. He comes up with a sort of cox comb, creeping over the wear ers chin in the front and cut low in the back. Givenchy launches a new slender coat silhouette with a horizontal barely circular flounce added at a wrist-length point. This is vented at the sides, sometimes back belted stressed with two buttons. Givenchy revives the soft dressy afternoon dress. It is done in chiffon or flat crepe with a deep pleated tier. His daytime ensembles often are contrasted in color, except in the printed tunic dresses, ap pearing in beautiful monotone chalked prints or solid bright colors. Poppy red is a favorite. Escalating of space program sought by Sen. COLUMBIA (AP) -- Rep. Bry an Dorn, d-S.C., told the South Carolina General Assembly to day, “The best way to fight hunger and disease is to create more wealth. That’s why we’ve got to press forward with our programs, such as the space program.” The Greenwood Democrat said American industrial and medical knowhow have provided the research on cancer and heart disease. Dorn said America’s leader ship in space enhances its pres tige and establishes military se curity. He told the lawmakers that only five of 5,000,000 parts in volved in the Apollo 8 orbital mission of the moon malfunc tioned. “In the space world there are very few mistakes and this is a tribute to American science and technology,” Dorn declared. The congressman said he is certain there will be no nuclear war in the lifetime of “our young people.” “But in the meantime,” he added, “we must preserve our leadership in space. Harry Gray, featured right, is a real “fireball.” Gray is Brave fireball Chowan Braves co-captain, Harry Gray of Robersonville, N. C., has sprung back after a pre-season eye and head in juries to become an explosive spark, helping gain the winning momentum. Harry, 6’2”, 170 lb., was the recipipetent of the “Most Out standing Athlete” trophy and the “Most Valuable Player” trophy for his performances in basketball and tennis. His accuracy is ’’terrific”, described by Coach Bill Mc Craw. Harry has connected on 56 per cent of his field goal attempts and 78 per cent on his foul shots. Harry, a cage scrapper, is a real “fireball”. He has the ability to shoot well despite being guarded by taller oppo nents. Harry is a vital reason why the Braves are on a ten game winning streak. Last Wed nesday, February 19th., at South wood College, Harry had one of his best nights scoreing 26 points and having 13 rebounds. Harry is a vital spark to our ball clubs victories. The Smoke Signals Staff wishes Harry and his team mates the best of luck at the conference tournament Feb ruary 25th-27th.

Elephant jokes? No it’s keeping Carassius auratus bet ter known as goldfish. These wet little creatures of the deep invaded our campus about two weeks ago after some enterprising Murfreesboro mer chants advertised goldfish and bowls at sale prices. Since then students have purchased a large quanity of these water loving pets to add color to their drab desk shelves. One store mana ger reports present stocks were sold out and he was ordering more. This is by no means a co-ed dominated past time. Hus ky male students are seen fight ing with their roomates as to whose turn it is to feed the fish, (as yet this reporter has not witnessed anyone standing report on the care and feeding of the golden carp. After ex tensive research they have the following report to make: Little care is required of gold fish as compared to other house hold pets. Goldfish eat worms, bread crumbs, water fleas and plants, but most fish breeders suggest the prepaired food mix once a day is better. A straight sided bowl is best because it gives more surface area for ab sorption of air. Marbles or rocks are good for the bottom of the bowl, but larger objects should be provided for shade since the fish have no eyelids. The tem perature should be 65 degrees F and extrjpie changes in the temperature are harmful. Their water must be clean and it is better to let it set out overnight to get rid of the harmful ad ditives in the water. up for rights to clean the bowl.)
