McDowell Columns
Slated for 'Register'
RALEIGH-The Columns, on
the campus of Chowan College in
Murfreesboro, has been
nominated for inclusion on the
National Register of Historic
Places, a list of distinction
identifying those properties
worthy of preservation for their
historic value. The nomination
was submitted this week to the
Department of the Interior by Dr.
H. G. Jones, Director of the State
Department of Archives and
History and State liaison Officer
for Historic Preservation.
Built in 1852, The Columns has
been used as a chapel, as
classrooms, as offices, and as a
dormitory for Chowan College.
Dress Code Revised
The revised dress code, as
announced^by Dean Lewis allows
women to wear slacks or pant-
suitsf on campus, in Whitaker
library, In Thomas Cafeteria, to
classes, to chapel and assembly
and to college-sponsored in
formal activities except when
attending lectures and concerts
and on special occasions (as
indicated by personnel deans).
“Slacks” is not interpreted to
mclude cut-offs, khakis,
dungarees, jeans, fatigues and
the like.
Sunday or business dress is the
only apparel considered ap
propriate for the Sunday noon
meal and for the Wednesday
evening meal.
Its monumental Greek Revival
design and its importance to the
college have estabUshed it as an
educational landmark in North
Carolina.
The nomination was made in
connection with the State
Department of Archives and
History’s long-range program of
identifying and documenting the
authenticity of historic places in
North Carolina. The National
register is the nation’s official list
of “districts, sites, buildings,
structures, and objects of
significance in American history,
architecture, archaeology, and
culture,” apd one of the benefits
of being listed is the requirement
that the historical significance of
the property be considered by
any agency proposing to destroy
or alter it with the aid of federal
funds.
Basketball Prospects
Bright, Coach Says
The end of football season is
approaching, which will initiate
the oncoming basketball season.
Now it is time for Coach Bill
McCraw and his fourteen Braves
to move into the limelight. Our
team this year looks very
promising, and guarantees a
better season record than last
year’s record, which isn’t worth
mentioning.
The talented Braves this year
are relatively a young team, with
only three sophomores. The
probable five that will open our
games are Harry ‘Flip’ Flipping,
Jakcie Ross, Randy Mitchie, Guy
Crenshaw, and Wayne Davis.
Flipping, the only returning
starter, led the conference in
rebounding his freshman year.
Davis and Crenshaw are two fine
leapers. Davis, a healthy 200-
pounder, will definitely be
crashing the boards along with
Flipping, Crenshaw, an all-
around ball player, shoots well,
jumps well, dribbles well and can
handle the ball.
Our backcourt men this year
_ are something to look forward to,
KacWe Ross and Randy Mitchie
are both excellent playmakers
and ball handlers. Both of them
have a good eye from the outside
and are exceptionally quick on
defense.
Jack Bostain, Jerry Ballard,
Ray Brigman, Harry Jackson,
Norman Roles, Clifton Faison,
Danny Shrekhise, Mike Thomp
son and Earl Arrington are all
part of the strong bench of this
year.
Roles will be the first sub
stitution as far as where the big
men are concerned. Bostain,
Ballard and Brifman will l>e
seeing a lot of action this season.
Brigman, our ‘Pistol Pete,’ has a
jumper that won’t quit.
Our first contest at home is a
scrimmage on November 14, at
7:30. We will be facing North
Carolina Wesleylan. Shortly after
that match the Braves will fall
into regular season play. This
year’s schedule is a tough one
with plenty of still conpetition
within the conference as well as
outside games. We will be facing
such schools as VCU, ECU,
Frederick Military, and Ferrum
who participated in the nationals
last year. There are two new
additions to the conference this
year; Kittrell and Sandhills
Community College.
Coach McCraw stated that he
was glad to have Harry Flipping
and Jackie Ross back this year,
who were lost last year due to
disciplinary action. He foresees a
bright season from one of the
better teams Chowan has had in a
few years.

Work in Europe
Apply now for Jobs
Temporary paying jobs are
available in Europe to all
students. These openings - many
requiring only a will to work, with
no previous experience or
knowledge of a foreign language
needed - offer ideal, ready-made
opportunities for students to earn
a few weeks or months in a
country of their choice such as
England, France, Germany,
Switzerland or Spain.
Most jobs are in resorts, hotels,
shops, stores, restaurants, of
fices, factories and hospitals and
on farms and construction sites.
Camp counseling, governess,
teaching and sales positions are
also available. Room and board
either comes with the job or is
arranged in advance, and is often
in addition to wages ranging up to
$500 a month for the highest
paying jobs.
By earning their way, students
are able to see Europe without
the usual expenses while getting
an individual, human insight into
European life. With easing draft
calls and the high rate of
rejection by the Peace Corps,
increasing numbers of students
with a yen to travel and broaden
their personal horizons may be
well advised to consider such an
independent adventure.
The SOS (Student Overseas
Services) Placement Offices in
Luxembourg, Europe, screens
and places every applicant and
obtains the required work per
mits and other documents needed
by each student. SOS also
provides a brief orientation in
Luxembourg before students go
out to their individual jobs.
Jobs and work permits are
given on a first come, first served
basis so students interested in
seeing Europe from the inside,
and earning money instead of
spending it while they are there,
should apply to allow SOS plenty
of time to obtain for them a job of
their choice and to complete
processing of the necessary
permits and papers.
Students in this area may
obtain job application forms, job
Statement from
Dr. Whitaker
The recent suspension of 11 students from the
student body of Chowan College represents the
diligent enforcement of college policies established to
protect the larger majority of the college’s students.
At the heart of our policy is a commitment to
providing an unique atmosphere for learning to the
hundreds of young men and women who seriously
pursue their studies here. These students and their
parents expect and deserve high educational, social
and moral standards during their years at Chowan.
We pledge to them no less.
As regards those few former students who have
been or will be hurt as a redult of their willful actions,
they will be assisted and helped in any serious efforts
on their part to re-establish themselves within the
academic community. For this also is a policy of
Chowan as an institution of Christian higher
education. As far as Chowan is concerned, the case is
closed.

The December 1st publication
of “The Tenor of My Song” will
make available to readers a
second book from the pen of
Chowan Professor Robert Mulder
of the college’s English depart
ment.
The new book is a collection of
romantic verse, English sonnets
fashioned after the style and
manner of William Shakespeare.
Shown in the collection are the
joys, the excitements, and the
frustrations of love in its many
phases.
Last fall Mulder published
“The Shepherd Who Stayed
Behind”, a collection of original
Christmas verse. The first edition
was sold out within a week of
publication, and the book is now
in its second printing.
This alumnus of Chowan
College has been a member of the
Department of English since
1965. His poetry has appeared in
such publications as “Ideals”,

Because of a heavier than usual
work load and becuase of the
necessity for a very careful
consideration of the fourth
inquiry of the questionnaire being
presented in this column, the
results of the preciding inquiry
will be presented in the next issue
of the “Smoke Signals,”
November 25. Be sure to read
answers which over 148
respondents from colleges and
universities throughout the South
gave to the following inquiry;
(4) Would you be willing to
grant “conditional admissions”
to any student without the
asscciated degree or at least a ‘C
average only all work attempted
if that student, in your
estimation, might show some
potential for completion at your
institution?
The answers to the preceding
question should prove ex
ceedingly valuable because, in
essence, there are some schools
which might admit a student
without the ‘C’ average, of
course, with the qualifications
cited in the question.

surfing fans just pack up your
board and wet suit (it’s kind of
cold) and join the Chowan
College Surfing Association
November 18 for a thrill-packed
adventiffe in Greg MacGillivray’s
“The Performers.”
Luis Revelle and Craig
TTiompson, president and vice
{resident respecively, decided it
was high time that the Surfing
Association got out of our campus
swimming pool to take part in the
real action. With a little help
from Greg MacGillivray,
producer, director, and
photographer of “The Per
formers”, they are bringing to
our campus this hightly-praised
film of adventure on the waves.
Before we go any further, let
me fill you' In on Greg
MacGillivray, By age 19 Greg
had been to Hawaii, the East
Coast, old Mexico, and “every
surfing spot in California,” and
released his second film, “The
Performers”, Things couldn’t
have gone better. His summer
schedule with “The Performers”
was a series of sellouts. Later,
the film made three complete
runs throughout California, each
one year apart, and each to
sellout crowds. This fantastic
response made “The Per
formers” the most successful
film of 1965 and 1966, Turning
from success, Greg returned to
the University, It was during this
year that Greg and Jim Freeman
began thinking about making
films together.

prospects of the project and
quickly employed the voluntary
aid of Ed Allen to be Project
Chairman. Next came many long
planning discussions and
business meetings, the outcome

themselves financially em-
barrased. Karunungan sought
