Page 8—Smoke Signals, Monday, November ) 9, 1973 Braves Drop Last Game Trailing 22-0 early in the second quarter, Chowan College quar terback Martin Page staggered Nassau Community College with four-straight touchdown passes but the Lions bounced off the ropes with the next three scores and a 43-35 Coastal Conference victory here Saturday afternoon, Nov. 10. The setting for the free-scoring game was Hofstra University Stadium which features Astro Turf. The teams had to contend with a freezing wind that whipped through the 7,500-seat stadium. Nassau opened the scoring with a 16-yard field goal mid-way in the first period and quickly added three scores on runs of four and one yards by running back David VanNostrand and five yards by his replacement, Victcr Kelly for a 22-0 lead. But Page started his magic, all the more remarkable considering everyone in the stadium had numb hands. Flanker Don Estes played a big role in the first three scores, which came in the second quarter. Estes snagged a 30-yard pass from Page to set up the first score, a 15-yard pass to split end Connie Tripp. Running back David Page, who gained 103 yards to lead the Braves’ backs, ran for two points and Chowan trailed, 22-8. The next score followed a fumble recovery by tackle Ricky Locklear of Fairmont at Nassau’s 31. Page followed with a touchdown pass to Estes and the kick by Junior Creech made it 22- 15. With 28 seconds left in the half. Page uncorked the Braves’ longest scoring pass of the year, a 62-yarder to the outstretched hands of Estes and Creech kicked the extra point to lift Chowan into a 22 tie with the stunned Lions. Page continued his mastery to start the second half tossing a 22- yard scoring pass to tight end Mark Randall. The touchdown was the first of the season for Randall, a sophomore who had won praise for his blocking and unseKish team play during the season. The point by Creech was Chowan’s last until Green raced 48 yards for the Braves’ final score with three minutes left in the contest. Chowan’s 29-22 lead crumbled when the Lions scored on a 16-yard pass with four minutes remaining in the third quarter and followed less than a minute later with a 34-yard in terception return to snap the 29-29 tie and regain the lead, 36-29. Nassau padded its margin with a final five-yard touchdown run by VanNostrand. Green’s run followed for the final 43-35 score. Chowan ended its season with a 5-5 mark, its worst since 1968, and 3-3 conference record. Nassau evened its record at 4-4 and 2-3. Page’s four touchdown passes equaled the number he had thrown in the Braves’ first nine games. Green scored his fourth ID to tie fullback Ron Raysor in that category. Tripp, a freshman from Farmville, raised his touch down reception total to six and Estes, a sophomore from Q-eedmoor, to four. On defense, sophomore Eddie Brooks of Fairmont, elevated to starting status late in the season, again led the backs in tackling with seven individual tackles, two assists, and a fumble recovery. Linebackers Daryl Gilyard of GreensbOTO had a total of 18 tackles, Mike Yuhas of Minersville, Pa., 13, and Mike Marshall of Fayetteville, 12. Locklear added 10 including seven unassisted. Energy Briefs BROOMFIELD, Colo. (AP) — After a flurry of publicity, the Colorado State Patrol has revoked a ticket for impeding traffic issued to a 70-year-old man who said he was driving slowly to conserve energy. Jesse H. Lovin of Loveland was issued his first traffic cita tion this week while driving on two-lane U.S. 287 south of Long mont. He was cited for driving between 40 and 46 miles per hour in' a 60 m.p.h. zone, caus ing nine vehicles to trail him unable to pass. The ticket was revoked “be cause of the controversy at the time over the law and the ap peal of the President and the governor of Colorado to reduce speeds to conserve fuel,” a spokesman said. Baptist Student Union Members Attend Meet On November 2, 1973, 15 students and Chaplain Taylor attended the statewide Baptist Student Union fall convention. This convention was in the Mountains of North Carolina just 16 miles from Asheville. The weekend was composed of simulation games of BSU chapters throughout the state. Everyone was to play a par ticular roll in the simulation games. These roUs were not necessarily the personalities of the individuals playing the part, but it was a roll that was to be maintained through the games. The purpose of these games was to condition the students to un derstand others as well as themselves. This was all a part of the theme “Living the Good News”. There were lectures by Dr. Newman from Campbell College. He spoke on the relevance of Christian living in the society of today, as well, as Christianity being something that one must take very seriously and not something that could be taken lightly. There were feedback sessions where students could ask questions or debate Dr. Newman’s ideas of “Living the Good News”. The weekend was not filled with ' just simulations and lec tures but there was also a fan tastic business meeting where Robert’s rules of Parlimentary - jM'Ocedure were not known. There was time for fun and games and exploring the mountains too. Along with meeting new faces, many familiar faces were seen also. As time brought the weekend to a close, friends found that what was so great could not last forever, but even stopping and realizing that the bonds that were made would last even after we had all parted. All of this proved to each one attending the convention that we must try to live the Good News even as we had done during the weekend.

The College Speaks Out • • • LAT VEGAS, Nev. (AP) — Las Vegas’ glittering strip and downtown casino center will go dark under a plan announced by the Nevada Resort Associ ation. The proposal announced Thursday calls for hotels and casinos to voluntarily shut down all outside signs and oth er exterior lighting. Robbins Cahill, association managing director, said the plan was “agreed upon by re sort people” present at a meet ing Thursday and will be “rec ommended to all the others.” “The thought is that this was a first step to communicate to everybody that Las Vegas jneans business and they’re go ing to conserve energy,” he said. MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Madison will use Christmas decorations that don’t' need electricity and shorter store hours early in the holiday sea son to help reduce energy con sumption. The Central Madison Com mittee decided Thursday that lighted street decorations will' be replaced by wreaths and stores will concentrate on natu ral decorations such as trees. Downtown businesses will cut back their traditional holiday hours by not opening nights un til Dec. 3, it was agreed. “No, they already have too much control over everything else. This is none of their business.” quoted-Susan Hicks “It doesn’t really matter, who wants to date here.” quoted-Mike Maurice “I don’t think the college should have anything to say about who you date, but I definitely feel that there should be certain rules in the lounges. Without rules some people wouldn’t know how to act, or really care. What they do in private is their own business.” quoted-Lynn Kirsch Scenes from 'Charlie Brown 11 "Should the college have any control on your dating habits?" ‘•‘No, they put too much strain on the guys and girls. If the girls have a curfew, the guys should. Its no telling what they do after we leave.” Sheran Bunch “Yes, as far as hours go, but they should be later, liiere should be the same curfew for everyone.” Rick Butler “I think we should have open dorms on the weekends and the curfew should be around 1:00. The time is too limited so we can’t go anywhere. Money doesn’t come easy and the businesses should try to be our friends.” James Matthews “No, and there should be ab solutely no curfew. The girls are more mature about coming in, anyway. There’s not much to do anyway and the time is pressed.” Terry Young “No, its none of the school’s business. At our age there is a sense of responsibility.” Allen Bateman Nerve Gas WASHINGTON (AP) — Con tradicting Army- Secretary Howard Callaway, a Pentagon spokesman said Thursday “there are no plans at all” for any open-air testing of nerve gas. Callaway said Wednesday in Salt Lake City that the Army plans such tests. But Defense Department spokesman Jerry W. Fried- heim, the Pentagon’s chief press spokesman, said “there is no approved plan or program within the Department of De fense or within the Department of the Army at this time for any open-air testing of open-air agents.” Callaway’s remarks about plans to test nerve gas in the open air were made at a Salt Lake City news conference. He said open-air tests are more useful than tests in re stricted areas and that there are “places sufficiently iso lated” to permit open-air test ing.

Kennedy Assassination Is Recalled by Doctors “No, it would be a lot better place to stay, with the changing of such rules as these.” quoted Mike Herrin “No, if there is going to be a curfew, it should be for everyone.” Bonnie Harrell “No, it should be up to the in dividual.” David Marshall “Students should find better places to go. There should be a time limit on both boys and girls.” Mrs. Barnhill MHl By JAMES MANGAN Associated Press Writer DALLAS (AP) — Dr. Mal colm 0. Perry, the surgeon who tried to save President John F. Kennedy 10 years ago, wishes now he could reclaim a few words he spoke shorUy after Kennedy died. “I was pretty naive,” Perry said recently of his statement about the neck bullet wound at a tumultuojs press conference at Parkland Hospital. His words have led to endless spec ulation about how the President was killed and whether there was more than one assassin. In a recent interview in his office at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, which adjoins Parkland, Perry recalled the events of Nov. 22, 1963. “I was in the hospital cafe teria preparing to make bed side rounds when we heard an emergency room page for Dr. Tom Shires, the chief surgeon. This was unusual, so we made a call to check. We were told that the President was being brought in. Dr. Shires was in Galveston giving a paper, so we rushed to the emergency room.” At that point. Perry said, the President was gasping as he lay on his back on a stretcher, and Dr. James Carrico, on duty in the emergency room, was in serting a tube in his throat. “It was clear that an airway was needed,” Dr. Perry re called. “I made an incision through the bullet wound in the front of the neck and per formed a tracheostomy.” The incision through the wound deformed the original bullet hole, which was about at the point where a tie is knotted. The Warren Commission, later ruling that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin, termed this an “exit wound.” Oswald was positioned in a building to the rear of the Kennedy motor cade. However, in speaking to newsmen shortly after the President had died, Perry re called, he said the wound in the front of the neck “appeared to be an entrance wound.” “Did you say ‘entrance wound?”’ a reporter asked. “Yes, entrance wound,” Dr. Perry said. This latter statement ap peared definitive when it was not intended to be, and has led to suspicions about why an en trance wound later became an official exit wound. “I never had time to really look at the wound,” Perry said in the recent interview. “The procedures were automatic. I never thought about the legal aspects when I made the cut.” “Now I wish I didn’t say any thing,” he said with a rueful smile. “I know better now. Ev erybody there (at the hospital) should have gotten together on a statement. “But I still wouldn’t change anything. I could only report what I saw. I just tri^ to an swer as honestly as I could. I don’t know how many bullets struck Mr. Kennedy. I don’t know any more about it now than I did then.” Perry, now a full professor of surgery, avoids reading or talk ing about the events of Nov. 22, 1963. “I have stayed away from it,” he said. “Frankly, it depr esses me. I don’t care to go over it. I don’t read the books.” Energy Briek HOUSTON (AP) - W.E.N. Doty, vice president of Conti nental Oil Co., says develop ment of supplemental fuels from coal and oil shale could provide the equivalent of 2.5 billion barrels of oil per year. Doty told a meeting of the Planning Executives Institute Thursday that it would take 10 to 15 years and $45 billion be fore such supplemental fuels could make a meaningful con tribution. He said coal in solid, liquid and gas forms could add the equivalent of two billion barrels of oil per year — almost double the U.S. energy loss resulting from the Arab oil boycott. Continental Oil is the parent company of Consolidation Coal Co., the country’s second larg est producer of coal. H; Neighliiirs got a theory—always leave 'em laughing../’ Fuel Shortage Hits Chowan “If you reject your re sponsibilities, you must ac cept the consequences!” The current energy crisis is being felt in Murfreesboro and Chowan College, and much discussion has been made during the past weeks as to how energy might be conserved. Jack Hassell, Chowan’s Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, has indicated that the shortages will indeed effect all students, faculty and staff of Chowan, and his department is taking steps to conserve fuel. Hassell stated in an interview on Friday that “we have been told by our oil suppliers that we will receive only 75 per cent of the oil furnished last year. Therefore, we have initiated a new policy concerning the buildings on campus.” The new regulations are: 1) All heating plants in dormitories will be cut off during the day. 2) The heating plants in Whitaker Library and classroom buildings will l)e on during the day hours, but will be cut off at night. 3) Heating plants in dormitories will be cut on in late afternoon or early evening. If the weather is mild, the heating plants will be turned on later at night and as the weather gets colder, the plants will be turned on earlier and they will be allowed to operate longer during the day. 4) Thermostats will be set at 68 degrees, campus-wide. The building superintendent further stated that there are many ways in which the student body can be of valuable assistance in the college’s efforts to face the fuel shortage. The foUowing suggestions were listed: 1) Keep doors and windows closed. 2) Turn off lights when leaving the room. Remember, it takes oil to produce electricity. 3) Residents of Parker and Belk Halls should cut off heating units when leaving the campus for the week-end. (These two dormitories have heating and air-conditioning units for each room.) 4) Wear a sweater in the classrooms and dormitories. 5) Do not tamper with thermostats as the result of a broken thermostat will be over-heating, or no heat at all. Hassell was optimistic that the fuel shortage can be met with little or no discomfort to anyone on campus, but he stated, “it will take the efforts of all of us to conserve fuel and energy in every way possible.”
