In a recent survey conducted in assembly,
,04,3 students responded out of a l,3Ki
school enrollment
Almost half (4301 of those responding are
not available for date bait There were 43
who are married, 50 engaged and :?li7 going

The available group numbered 5i0 with
negative convictions towards being tied
down to a steady.
The remaining number of 94 students
tried to be funny.
Several of these humorists claimed to be
polygamist of age 13 with several children.
Most, however, claimed children but no
spouces.
Many said they came to school to get
away from their wives. Others came to
avoid the draft-either in service or mar
riage.
Some declared they came to school be

September 11, 1969
Only one committee member was absent -
Tom Keithley. Present were: Mr. Gilbert,
Clarence Griffin, Mrs. Falkener, Mr. Collins,
Mr. Hale, Mr. Griffin, Mrs. Bowling, Mrs.
George, and Mrs. Thompson.
Mr. Sutton called the meeting to order and
introduced Neal Marks, representative
from Servomation Mathias.
Mr. Collins was appointed to the commit
tee and appointed secretary.
Mr. Sutton read the following excerpts
from last year’s cafeteria committee meet
ings so this years committee could stay
away from issues handled satisfactorily
last year:
"It is a State Health Law that students
may not carry from the cafeteria any food
served, and the Cafeteria Management
is responsible for enforcing this regulation."
Formal dinners and the selection of Wed
nesday evening were adopted by the Com
mittee at the suggestion and co-ordination
of student members in 1968-69. The practice
began in order to promote the use of better
table manners and social conduct as well
as to give a festive air to the dinner hour
once each week.
The importance of preparing young men
to conduct business transactions during
mealtime meetings was discussed. It was
the unanimous consent of the Committee
that all students attending the Wednesday
evening meal should be properly attired
and SGA assume the responsibility of com
municating this request to the student body.
Complaints and suggestions are requested
from students, in writing. Anyone having
a desire to meet with the Committee may do
so by -making their request known to the
chairman in advance of the meeting of
the Cafeteria Committee.
The question of second servings of food
was discussed and it was explained by
Mr. Gilbert that students could not get extra
portions of meat, but will be able to have
extra servings of some vegetables, salads
and deserts.
The Cafeteria Committee unanimously
consented to the idea of publishing the min
utes of the committee meeting in the stu
dent newspaper “Smoke Signals.”
It was agreed that men students may be
permitted to wear turtleneck shirts in lieu
of shirt and tie to the Wednesday evening
dinners.
SGA Officers agreed to select representa
tives in each do. mitory, said representstives
to survey the residents of their dormitory
for suggestions concerning the food service,
menus, etc
The college will furnish materials for the
completion of dutch ovens being built at
wealth are unprintable
One student came to school to find an
other wife, so he says Another one came
because he was tired of his wife
Of course, one smart aleck came to keep
off the chain gang Others had no idea why
they came back to school
Another cutie came to school to be able
to go on a panty raid Too bad he has to be
disappointed since panty raids have been
outlawed One brain said he didn't come
back to school because he never left
A party girl came to school to be young,
foolish and happy One young man frankly
admitted he came to school to avoid a pa
ternity suit.
Then there was an agent here who claimed
the government was paying him to spy on
Chowan students Another humorist came
to quit workl
One answered that he came to school for
lack of sense An epicurean pupil came to
eat, drink and be merry, while a fellow com
panion came to meet girls
Sandy Hollow (these were not completed
last year, I believe).
Suggestions made by students at the Dec
ember 1968 meeting are fewer cold cuts,
greater selection of salad dressings, fewer
starchy foods, cold apple sauce without
spices, hot food such as roast beef served
on Wednesday evenings, greater selection
of beverages such as 7-Up and orange juice,
food too greasy, no green bowl, no mystery
meat.
Considerable discussion concerning the
board plan of the college. The student pays
an average of 58 cents per meal or $12.12
per week (1969-70 for his meals).
If we change the board plan, whereby
students would be permitted to eat or not
to eat in the cafeteria, i.e., by paying for
each meal as they go, the price would
practically double. The present board plan,
traditionally, has been an effort by the
administration and Board of Trustees to
keep student charges at the lowest possible
level.
SGA agreed to exercise authority when
students are seen breaking in the cafeteria
lines, particularly on chapel days. Offenders
are to be reported to the Dean of Men and
Dean of Women.
Students were requested to provide menu
suggestions for Saturdays and Mr. Gilbert
will try to comply, within the budget.
Novel activities were discussed on two
or three occasions such as boys being served
by the girls, and vice versa, piano or organ
music, decorations, paintings, anything that
is different. Students were encouraged to
present ideas for innovations and variety.
In view of the fact that cigarette smoke
is offensive to non-smokers, particularly
when there is a large concentration of
people, and there is not adequate seating
space in the cafeteria to permit students
and faculty members to linger and enjoy
smoking after a meal, the committee recom
mended that the no smoking rule be
enforced.
This is during meal hours only; the no
smoking rule is relaxed between meals or
at private functions such as the President’s
dining room. Also, the smokers have a tend
ency to use the tables and floor for ashtrays.
It was suggested that the 1969-70 Cafeteria
Committee seriously consider the possibility
of a sub-committee for decorations and enter
tainment, particularly at special functions or
at weekly highlight dinners. Suggested that
“local talent” be used including students, fa
culty or area people.”
The committee discussed the value of stu
dents dressing up for Wednesday evening
meals. It was decided that both the cafeteria
and the clothing and etiquette committees
should study this requirement.
Commenting on future plans these crazy
characters were full of humor There was
an ambitious soul who hoped to dig ditches
and further his education at an institution.
Many girls simply wanted to get married,
it they were asked Others stated they’d
only marry if they could find someone good
enough for them
According to many responses there are
apparently quite a few new schools such as
Viet Cong University (VCUi, Saigon Uni
versity, Watsamata University, Old You,
Southside Soul Center, Siolg Siolg, Fink
University, Podunk, the University of Si
beria, and the University of ABC.
Prison, poor house, sanitorium, hippy
commune, and home were other popular
places to transfer
Some really ambitious souls are striving
for Harvard, Yale, N.Y.U., U.C.L.A., Chic
ago State, and Oxford!
Mr. Griffin presented the following com
plaints from the residents of East Hall;
(1) Silverware and trays are dirty.
(2) A large amount of starchy food is served.
(3) They want better meals on Wednesday
night.
(4) Very little meat is being served.
(5) A lot of meat is freezer burned.
(6) Butter is freezer burned,
(7) Salads are stale.
(8) Why not open line immediately after cha
pel on Tuesday and Thursday?
Mr. Sutton stated that some of these can be
handled without committee action; such as
opening line early for lunch Tuesday and
Thursday,
Mr. Marks stated that the committee had
first decided that students should be served
all they could eat on Wednesday night. Later
the committee decided a solid meal was best.
He stated that Servomation Mathias would
find a more effective way to use unused
items. The freezer burn complaint will be
looked into and such food would not be serv
ed. The company will strive to better esti
mate the number of salads needed and
thereby reduce stale salads.
It was recommended that the names of the
meats being served by posted on the serving
counter.
It was decided that head residents would
bring complaints from their residents.
A committee composed to Tom Keithley,
chairman; Joan Cox, and other students sele
cted by them will work on novelty, entertain
ment, and decorative ideas for the cafeteria.
The committee will meet the 1st Tuesday
of each month at 11:45 a.m. Adjournment
followed.
Respectfully submitted,
Clifton S. Collins

A sign of the times in Greater Miami
is one paragraph added to the fire preven
tion and safety code; “Barbecue grills and
similar cooking utensils shall not be used
on balconies, terraces or porches of multi
story buildings. They shall be used only
outside and at a safe distance from the
nearest building.”
No such ban would have been needed a
few years ago when nearly all dwellings
here were of one story or at most two. High-
rises have made the difference. When it
comes to charcoaling a steak, today’s cliff-
dwellers can't take it with them. - Miami

As was indicated last week, our present
report, the third and last of a series of
reports concerning a study completed late
last Spring, will be centered around the last
two inquiries of the questionnaire (a list
of 5 questions pertaining to the junior college
student’s desire for transfer to a senior
college) sent by this office to 100 colleges and
universities throughout the South. Those
last two inquiries were as follows;
(4) Would you be willing to grant “con
ditional admission" to any student without
the associates degree or at least a 'C' aver
age on all work attempted if that student,
in your estimation, might show some poten
tial for completion at your institution?
(5) Approximately how many on or off
campus living spaces do you have available
for transfers into your junior class next
Fall?
Of the 100 senior institutions of higher
education contacted, 70 (or 70 per cent of
the total) have responded by answering the
inquiries on the questionnaire. Of these
70 schools, 41 (or 58 per cent of the respond
ents) indicated they could or would possibly
accept transfer students who had less than
a “C " average on all work attempted and
no associates degree. However, although
these 41 schools indicated the above possible
“conditional" acceptance, they generally
indicated that automatic “conditional" acce
ptance or admissions was “not" a policy.
In fact, most of the schools clearly indicated
that they definitely preferred the student
with the over-all “C" average and the com
pletion of all requirements for the associates
degree. And when these schools indicated
that they could or would conditionally admit
a student with less than a “C” average,
they would generally state the above with
strong qualifications. In other words a con
ditional acceptance or admission did, in
fact, have conditions, and the conditions
were generally well spelled out; there were
no categorical acceptances for those trans
fer students without the “C” average. 22
institutions (or 31 per cent of the 70 res
pondents) clearly indicated that they would
not grant conditional admission to any trasn-
fer student who did not have at least a “C”
average on all work attempted. Generally,
this latter group of respondents stated its
answers in unequivocal terms. And of the
70 schools, 7 (or 10 per cent of the total res
pondents) did not answer that part of the
fourth inquiry concerned with the necessity
of a “C” average before admission. In other
words, these 7 schools stated whether or not
they would accept students without the
associates degree; however, they did not
make any statement about the necessity
of a “C” average on all work attempted
before acceptance. Therefore, with refer
ence to this last group, the reader may draw
his own conclusions in some of the instances.
Before continuing and identifying those
schools in the above-mentioned catagories,
perhaps, we should look briefly at the results
of the fifth inquiry of the questionnaire.
This last inquiry (concerning the availability
of on and off campus housing facilities for
the transfer student) was a bit difficult to
measure; however, there was unanimity
among the schools concerning housing
space available, either on or off campus,
for the transfer student when he was fin
ally accepted.
The following is a listing of the schools
described in the catagories above. The
schools in Group I clearly specified that
they “could or would” accept students who
had less than a “C” on all work attempted.
Those schools in Group II clearly stated that
they “would not” accept students without
the “C” average, and those in Group III did
not answer that part of question number 4
dealing with conditional admission.

By FRANK GRANGER
Joseph F. Clark, former Democratic Sen
ator of Pennsylvania and frormer mayor
of Philadelphia, spoke to a small audience
Monday on draft reform and the Vietnam
War,
The Senator spoke upon invitation of the
social science department. He served as a
U.S. Senator from 1956 to 1968 and is now
president of World Federalists U.S.A. He
spoke earlier at the First Baptist Church
in Ahoskie to a United Nations' forum.
Clark, a dove and opponant to the Vietnam
War, listed what he called the “stuborn
facts. ” Number one he cited the large num
ber of men killed and wounded every week.
Second was the large war bugget of 30 bil
lion a year.
The third "stuborn fact" was the split in
the country over the war. He illustrated
with the campus unrest.
His final and most deliberated point con
cerned the wasted manpower and materials.
Clark said the war drained the country of
money which could be put to work reducing
air and water polution, and hunger. He
noted also the “brain drain ” by industry
and the military upon the educational insti
tutions to meet the war demands.
Clark went on to .say, "The military-indus
trial complex brought us into this war for
no national ivason. no dcin't know how to
get out ■ Hi' gave a brief history of our in
volvement in the war. On the Paris peace
talks he stated, “We are no futher along
than we were before. "
His conclusion was that there would be
“no win for either side," and our only solu
tion would be to “get out” He explained
that the best way he knew of would be for
the “Congress to exercise power over the
purse strings.” In short, urge the president,
to “get the boys home” ^
On the draft Clark declared what he
thought would be "as popular as the bubonic
plague” that is the drafting of 18 and 19 year
olds only to fulfill our military needs. He
received applause, however, when he said
he was in favor of giving the vote to 18-year-
olds.
When asked, "Would the withdrawal of
troops cause a depression," he said, “no."
“Thirteen million men were demobilized
at the end of World War II. "
Clark went on to say that the needs of the
cities would take up the slack and that the
American people had been "brain washed”
by the Pentagon into thinking otherwise.
He expressed discouragement in the gove
rnment of South Vietnam and also the
people. He called the government “Fas
cist" and a " dictatorship." He said the
people “only want to be left alone."
With the total United States troop with
drawal he said he was sure the Republic
of South Vietnam would fall.
