Chowan to share in
ECU ph/sics grant
STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF CHOWAN COLLEGE
Chowan College in Murfreesboro is one of
10 two-year colleges in North Carolina to
receive benefits from an $82,400 grant to the
department of physics at East Carolina
University.
Chowan comes under a cooperative pro
gram between the ECU department and
colleges.
The grant was awarded by the National
Science Foundation and covers a three-year
period. It will fund a program under which
students take the first two years of study in
Student handbook test
'floors' freshmen girls
The freshmen took the handbook test on
Sept 20 the girls made scores of less than
80
The purpose of the test, according to Dean
McKeithan, is “to protect ourselves from
ourself '■ Many girls are getting in trouble
and do not know exactly what they are
doing wrong. She feels that if we know 80
per cent of the rules and regulations in the
handbook, we stand a pretty good chance
of not getting into serious trouble
Another test will be given in two weeks
to every girl on campus. A specific date has
not been set, but it will probably be on a
weekday
Emphasis will be placed on rules and reg
ulations concerning such things as cooking
in the rooms, falseficiation, keeping pets,
late permission and the cut system
It has not been decided yet as to what is
going to happen if we score less than 80 on
the make-up test
One of the sophomore advisors said she
feels that “the tests are a good idea, but
wonders if the faculty could have passed
it ”
He's the envy
of campus males
Jack Hassell, superintendent of
the maintenance department, spent
the night in Belk Hall with the girls
last week!
Supposedly he was guarding the
castle since some boy wonder’s
Hurculean strength overcame him
while opening the door for his lady
As soon as the glass crashed to
the floor, the rumor of a panty raid
spread all the way over to Hassell
He feared those gallant knights in
Mixon might cross through the
open moat and rescue those dam
sels in distress
He bravely kept watch through
the night and early the next day
drew up the open draw bridge by
substituting plywood for the bro
ken glass
physics at one of the cooperating community
colleges and then transfer to ECU where
they complete requirements for the B.S.
and M.S. in physics.
Another aspect of the program, according
to ECU physics chairman. Dr. William
Byrd, involves in-service training of physics
teachers in the cooperative.
Dr. Byrd, director of the grant, said,
“A series of topical conferences during the
academic year together with workshops
during the summer months will allow par
ticipants to update their knowledge and
competence in physics.”
Co-directors with Dr. Byrd are Dr. Carl
Adler of the ECU physics faculty and George
Hazelton of the science and mathematics
department at Chowan College.
The grant is the second awarded to ECU
by the National Science Foundation through
its College Science Improvement program.
The other grant was awarded last year and
gave the departments of physics, chemistry
and biology a total of $163,000 for program
improvement and faculty research. Dr.
Byrd is also director of that grant.
Two-year colleges and faculty members
participating in the program include the
following:
Chowan College, Murfreesboro, George
Hazelton; College of the Albemarle, Eliza
beth City, David Thomas Hodges; Kittrell
College, Kittrell, Roy L. Bass and Rudolph
Williams; Lenoir Community College,
Kinston, Lowell Lee Keel; Louisburg
College, Louisburg, C. Ray Pruette; Mount
Olive Junior College, Mount Olive, Joseph

Braves looking
for win No. 3
By DAVID “SNAKE" MAYO
Chowan’s Braves are on the war path
after a scalping trip to Keyser, W. Va.
last week where they brought home the
scalp of Potomac State.
Tomorrow night at 8 p.m., boasting a
2-0-1 record, they will be entertaining at
home as Croft Junior College of Durham
comes calling.
A new opponent, Croft will be looking for
it’s own “scalp job" following two losses
to Lees McRae (61-6) and Carolina Mili
tary School (12-0).
Scouts report a “very big team” with
a fast-running back, Alan Banks, of Raleigh.
Coach Garrison, who was somewhat dis
appointed with his team in last week’s
victory over Potomac State, said, “After
being on the road for the last two weeks
we should do a real good job this Saturday
night, especially with the student body
behind us.”
Solid support means a lot to the success
of the Braves. The coaching staff is looking
for a full turn-out from Chowan to help make
the Braves No. 1 in ‘69.

Chowan students face charges
Maybe he's brushing up for
a test?
Even the concrete rail around the front of
Marks Hall can serve as a stopping place to
crack a book and perhaps take on a little bit
of “book-larnin' ' Sorry, the photographer
is slipping-no name.
With 2-0-1 record, Chowan ready for Croft
Braves go on rampage for 29-12 win
By PHIL ROYCE
Dan Dayvault gave sagging Chowan Col
lege a boost when he punted the ball dead
on Potomac State’s one-foot line late in the
third quarter, and the Braves went on to a
29-12 victory Saturday afternoon in Keyser,
W. Va.
With Chowan holding a shaky 20-12 lead,
Dayvault, on fourth down, kicked from
Potomac’s 35. The ball landed near the goal,
bounded high into the air toward the five
and then reversed direction before being
downed on the one-foot line.
Chowan capitalized on the accurate punt
to score nine quick points.
Two plays by Potomac netted zero yards
and on third down the Potomac quarter
back, Lanny Propst, fumbled in his end
zone for a safety and two points for Chowan.
Potomac kicked off from their own 20
and Dayvault returned the ball from Cho
wan’s 23 to Potomac’s 47.
Nine plays later, quarterback John Casa-
zza passed 20 yards to Billy Harris for a
touchdown. Robert Kilbourne kicked the
last of three extra points for Chowan’s 29th
point with 10; 13 left in the game.
During the drive, Casazza called eight
straight running plays, six by Dayvault
who contributed 26 yards. The final play
was the scoring pass, the fourth Harris has
caught from Casazza in Chowan’s three
games. Casazza has pitched seven scoring
strikes, three against Potomac.
The first half produced three of Chowan’s
TD’s, two on passes from Casazza. With the
game six minutes, 42 seconds old, Casazza
threw a touchdown pass to Morris Newlin,
freshman end from Greensboro. The play
covered 47 yards.
Potomac countered with a first quarter
'score on a 26-yard pass from Propst to end
Stan Schaefer. The extra point attempt was
blocked. Potomac needed nine plays to
cover the 77 yards.
Chowan added two scores in the second
quarter. The first came on a one-yard run by
Carroll Hart, Oxford sophomore, who aided
the 64-yard drive gaining 32 yards on two
other carries and one reception.
The other score was a 68-yard pass play
from Casazza to Wingate Burden who out-
raced the lone Potomac defender who had a
shot at him around Potomac’s 30. When it
appeared that all the defensive back had to
do was reach out and horsecollar Burden,
the speedy Annandale, Va. freshman poured
it on to pull away in the foot race of the day.
The score was set up by an interception by
Lee Copeland, Cofield sophomore, at the
Braves 32.
Chowan started the second half with a
20-6 lead but Potomac roared back using
only five plays for a score, registered by
Propst on a quarterback sneak from the one-
foot line. Potomac covered 65 yards in the
drive.
Chowan then padded its lead using the
safety and touchdown.
Dayvault, the Kannapolis sophomore tail
back, was Chowan’s leading ground gain
er, picking up 68 yards on 11 carries even
though he played only a few minutes of the
first half.
Greg Park, freshman from Newport News,
Va., collegted 45 yards on seven attempts.
Hart added 39 yards and one touchdown on
eight tries and Casazza, sophomore from
Old Bridge, N. J., 38 yards on seven
carries.
Chowan’s record is now 2-0-1. Their other
victory was 16-14 over Gardner-Webb. Last
week the Braves tied Baltimore Community
College 14-14. After two away games, they
meet Croft Junior College of Durham at
home Saturday at 8 p.m.

Four Chowan students have been arrested
and charged for possession of marijuana since
last Friday.
The latest came Tuesday when sophomore
Donna Diane Collier was arrested on the
campus and charged with possession of hash
ish, a derivitive of marijuana.
The arrest of the 20-year-old coed from
Virginia Beach, Va. was made by State Bur
eau of Investigation Agents Charles Ray of
Ahoskie and T. W. Caddy.
Miss Collier is charged with possession of
five-tenths of a gram of hashish. According
to Ray, possession of one-tenth of a gram of
the drug constitutes a felony.
The accused posted a $300 bond and will
appear before the Winton District Court Oct.
9.
College officials said Wednesday that Miss
Collier has waived all rights to a hearing
before the Faculty Judiciary Committee and
accepted suspension.
Last Friday night less than one ounce of
marijuana was confiscated from three male
students from Chowan. The arrests were
made at approximately 8 p.m. at Cozy Tavern
in Murfreesboro.
SBI agents said possession of less than an
ounce of the drug constitutes a misdemeanor.
Those accused of possession were Robert
Bissett Elmore, 20, Fairfax, Va,; Richard M.
Moriarty, 19, Alexandria, Va.; and Harry A.
Flipping, 25, Negro athlete at Chowan from
Waynesboro, Va.
The three students were released after post
ing bonus of $200 each and were to have
appeared before District Court yesterday for
a hearing. It was unofficially reported Thurs
day that the hearing was being postponed.
The three students have requested hear
ings before Chowan's Faculty Judiciary
Committee.
College officials said further information
will not be released pending completion of
investigations by the State Bureau of Investi
gation.
Former Gardner-Webb
Dean arrested for
illegal drug use
BOILING SPRINGS, N. C.—AP—Thomas
F. Holland, 30, former dean of students at
Gardner-Webb Junior College, was arrest
ed Monday night on charges of obtaining
illegal drugs.
Holland was freed Tuesday on $2,000
bond. The tril was scheduled for Oct. 22 in
District Court in Shelby.
SBI Agent Van Parker said Holland was
arrested on four charges of obtaining bar-
bituates and narcotics. Parker did not say
how the drugs were obtained.
Holland resigned his post at Gardner-
Webb in April, after serving as dean for
nearly three years. While at Gardner-
Webb, he served as an adviser to several
student organizations, including the student
government.
He was a past president of the Boiling
Springs Lions Club and a former member
of the Boiling Springs Board of Commis
sioners and several other civic and charit
able organizations.

Record
budget
approved
Approval of a record budget of $2,265,000
was one of the highlights of the. semi-annual
meeting of the board of trustees of Chowan
College held Monday in the president’s
office.
The board also voted to update the master
development plan of the college. The first
plan was initiated in 1958 and this was
later revised in 1966.
The chairman of the board, H. D. White
of Rocky Mount, was empowered to name
a committee with the responsibility of work
ing on the master plan. The board also sel
ected a Raleigh firm, James B. Godwin
and Associates, landscaping architects
and planning consultants, to assist. This
firm was active in planning the present
master plan.
The progress of the college, in light of
the master plan, will be a subject for dis
cussion at the Fourth Annual Planning Con
ference to be held Saturday, October 4,
in Robert Marks Hall.
Other matters considered included dis
cussion of the need for a new science build
ing to replace the present structure. Dr.
Bruce E. Whitaker, president, reported
that the present building is inadequate in
size and facilities.
The present building was constructed
in 1956 when the college’s enrollment was
251. Chowan this fall has an enrollment of
1,306 full-time students.
The trustees indicated ^heir interest in
constructing the new science building
as quickly as feasible. According to White,
the project received top priority from the
trustees. A nine-story dormitory for men is
now under construction.
The board also heard the annual Presid-
dent’s Report, a review of the previous
year’s operation and financial standing of
the college.
The 1968-69 budget was $2,060,000.
Something to think about
and perhaps to act upon
Thin air' didn't bother Braves in win over Potomac State
(Editor’s note: The following appeared
in “Southern Accent,” a column by Sam
Ragan in “The Pilot.” Ragan is editor and
publisher of “The Pilot,” a weekly news
paper in Southern Pines, N. C.
Obscenity, like beauty, is in the eye of
the beholder. So says the general counsel
to the Post Office Department. Thus a vict
ory against junk mail was scored by an
Ann Arbor, Mich., man.
The story began when Roger Staples got
tired of advertising circulars addressed to
“Resident" filling up his mail box. He sent
the circulars back to the post office, declar
ing they were obscene and asked that no
more be sent to him.
He had a right to do so, of course, under
a year-old law which says advertising is
considered “pandering" if it is “erotically
arousing or sexually provocative, in the
opinion of the recipient”
An assistant postmaster remonstrated
with Staples by insisting that the advertise
ments of department stores were not pand
ering. Staples replied, “I consider the adver
tisements for beds, sheets, pillows, girdles,
intimate feminine apparel, and other such
materials offensive, ’ He went on to say a
picture of a lingerie model was “just as
obscene as anything I ever saw from so ■
called panderers. ’ He used the forms pro
vided by the Post Office Department and
sent copies of his letter to his congressmen.
Senator Phillip Hart referred it to the Post
Office Department, and the general counsel,
David A. Nelson, said that Staples was,
right.
“Mr. Staples is correct in the assertion
that his determination of the erotically
arousing or sexually provocative nature
of an advertisement may not be ques
tioned”
An official of the department added that
under the law a person can “declare that an
ad for a sack of potatoes looks sex to them.
And if they do, we’re obliged to take ac
tion."
Staples, of course, was having a lot of fun.
But his success could well prompt others
to take action on junk mail.
Swallow neatness
The latest example of how foolishness
feeds on foolishness is the invention of the
short-hair wig. It’s for long-haired boys
who need to cover their tresses with a close-
cropped hairpiece for appearances at work,
at military Reserve meetings, before traffic
court judges, etc.
We suspect that what’s underneath will
show through, and we aren’t necessarily
talking about the hair. - Columbia (S.C.)
