Expresses
Appreciation
By ROBERTWALKER
I would like to extend my
thanks to every student that
supported me in the S.G.A.
election for vice-president. E^ch
one of you showed me that you
had faith in my intentions for the
office and I want you’ll to know
that I will trv to uphold that faith
by serving the position to the best
of my ability. When I was in high
school I never got involved with
activities, but now here at
Chowan I have a chance and I
know that I will learn alot about
trying to be a leader and doing
the best to help serve you. So far
the S.G.A. has a good line up of
ideas such as a fall concert, good
movies, a halloween dance, and a
memorable homecoming dance. I
would like to encourage each of
you to give your ideas to your hall
representatives, so that these can
be brought to future S.G.A.
meetings. Your ideas are
valuable and they should be
heard and made use of. I hope
that we can all work and share
with each other ourselves, and
make this year of school
meaningful to our lives in years
to come. In conclusion, again I
say thanks and may God bless
each of you in your studies and
student life of this campus

Money by Mail???
By DEAN LEWIS
There is no regulation which
prohibits one from sending or
receiving cash through the mail.
However, if man learns anything
from his own mistakes or the
misfortunes of others, money
would not be enclosed in letters.
One who sends money in a letter
should be willing to assume the
risk of having the letter lost or
opened and the money stolen.
Complaints are made oc
casionally by students who say
that money was sent to them by
letter and the letter has not been
received. Such complaints are
concerns of Student Personnel,
but a letter goes through the
hands of many people from the
time it is posted and the time it is
placed in a mailbox at Chowan
College. Theft could occur at any
point along the line. Ask your
parents and friends not to send
cash in their letters.
Chowan College’s women’s
volleyball team opened its season
defeating North Carolina
Wesleyan 15-10 and 15-9 in a road
match Thursday, Oct. 2.
Ulrike Wittle of Germany
served six points in the first game
and Jo Ann Light of Mechanic-
sville, Va. the same in the second
to pace the Lady Braves.
They had plenty of help from
the other members as Coach
Janet Collins started two
sophomores and four freshman.
Also serving points for Chowan in
the first game were Sandra
Turnage of Plymouth, three; and
Susan Ferebee of Camden and
Miss Light, two each.
In the second game , Kathy
Stover of Williamsport, Md. and
Lisa Dabney of Staunton, Va.
served three points each.
Chowan demonstrated a “good
team effort” to overcome its
inexperience, according to Mrs.
Collins. “The players showed a
lot of hustle and enthusiasm. In
the second game they began to
develop team confidence,” she
said.
Chowan’s junior varsity won
the game it played, 15-8. Lynn
Miller of Easton, Md. served
eight points and Terry Jennette
of Buxton five. Terrie Anderson
of Virginia Beach teamed with
Miss Miller to turn in the game’s
outstanding play. Terrie raced
feet off the court to save a stray
hit by teammate. She hit the ball
to Lynn Miller who knocked it
over for the score.
Help I ! I
'Smoke Signals” Needs Student Support
By MIKE PATTERSON
Up until several years ago
Smoke Signals was composed
primarily of Associated Press
news and articles by faculty
members.
Last year a drive was begun to
make Smoke Signals a Student
newspaper once again. This
doesn't mean we don’t want
faculty articles it just means we
would like to see more students
Cross Country
Wins Opener
take the initative to write to and
for the paper.
If there is something on
campus that you object to or a
certain policy unfair then do
write! Tell what the problem is,
why it's a problem and if possible
what you think should be done to
correct it.
Yes, it’s true that institutions
are notoriously slow in making
changes. Maybe you’ll never see
the corrections you propose
before leaving but maybe
someday somebody else will be
glad you had the guts to at least
take the initial steps to a better
system.
By PHIL ROYCE
Chowan’s College’s cross
country team opened its season
defeating Ferrum, 28-27, Sept. 26
over the Brave’s five-mile
course.
Ferrum runners took first and
second, but the Braves finished in
the next four places and ninth.
Chowan was led by Stanley Dodd
of Hanover, Va., who was third;
Curtis Ingram of Southern Pines,
N.C., who was fourth; Tom
Carella of Elmhurst, N.Y., fifth;
Robert Williams of North Gar
den, Va., Sixth; and Lycurtis
Satterwhite of Oxford, N.C.,
ninth.
For Chowan, David Ross of
Durham, N.C. finished 11th and
Mike Johnson of Carrabelle, Fla.
12th in the 13-man field. A team’s
score is the points from its first
five finishers.
It was the first match for
Chowan's new cross country
coach, Roy Winslow, who began
his duties this semester as
associate dean of students for
men.
Ping-Pong
Tournament
A large number of students
have shown an interest in and
have requested that the student

decided to sponsor a ladder
tourament to run from October
15th through December 15th.
Winners will be declared and
prizes awarded that evening.
There will be seperate
touraments for both men and
women. Any Chowan College

you.
2. Fail to note language differences.
3. Remain invisible.

subordinates.
5. Fail to get the confidence of the entire
organization.

and not-so-urgent problems.

8. Avoid seeing outsiders.

10. Forget about what the business is
about.

How To Tell A Winner
From A Loser
1. A winner says, “Let’s find out”; a
loser says, “Nobody knows”.
2. When a winner makes a mistake, he
says, “I was wrong”; when a loser
makes a mistake, he says, “It wasn’t
my fault.”
3. A winner goes through a problem; a
loser goes around it, and never gets past
it.
4. A winner makes commitments; a
loser makes promises.
5. A winner says, “I’m good, but not as
good as I ought to be”; a loser says,
“I’m not as bad as a lot of other people.”
6. A winner tries to learn from those who
are superior to him; a loser tries to tear
down those who are superior to him.
7. A winner says, “There ought to be a
better way to do it”; a loser says,
“That’s the way it’s always been done
here.”
In an 1802 sonnet William Wordsworth
appealed to John Milton (long then
deceased) with these word: “Milton,
thou shouldest be living at this hour—
England hath need of thee...” The Lake
Poet goes on in his imabic pentameter
pleading for Milton’s return “to give us
manners, virtue, and freedom.” Surely
this was pleasantly flattering to Milton,
but he never returned.
Theodore Dreiser in 1925 published An
American Tragedy, a novel of powerful
expose on the life-style of American
evangelism. Two years later Sinclair
Lewis took a swing at the pulpit with his
Elmer Gantry, a novel with a somewhat
mor staunch disrobing of evangelism.
To paraphrase Wordsworth (and with
all earned respect to Milton): “Dreiser
and Lewis, you should be living at this
hour, for we have need of you.” I have
the feeling, however, that if both men
were seeking to unearth the hard truth
about religion today, the points of their
pens would prick at the pews rather
than at the pulpit for thwir satirical
striking.
They would find amusingly in
teresting, I’m sure, the following
products of today’s congregations:
— Church members who get their
private instructions each morning from
the Almighty and then condemn the
minister for receiving a different
message.
— Church members who are so
concerned with “gold” that they in
terpret all ministerial moves according
to materialistic motives.
— Church members whose prayers
are motivated by a desire to move the
minister to another location rather than
to move themselves closer to God.
— Church members whose idolatry
extends to preacher worship to the
extent that they see no need to attend
church once their object of worship has
moved to another pulpit.
With the nation’s Bicentennial ap
proaching and with various areas of
entertainment geared to this event, we
are truly living in an exciting time.
NBC-TV has assumed mammoth project
in presenting the six-volume Carl
Sandburg biography of Lincoln. The six-
one-hoiu" drams will spread out through
April 1976.
The first one, “Mrs. Lincoln’s
Husband,” was presented on September
6. The interesting role of Lincoln was
created by Hal Holbrook, who must
have one of the best make-up men in the
business. After three hours (beginning
at 6:00 in the morning) and the com
bined efforts of both Holbrook and
Charles Schram, Lincoln comes to life.
Of course, viewers have their own
opinions as to how well the part was
played. I liked his portrayal, but what
fascinates me completely is the way
Holbrook steps into these charac
terizations.
It was in 1959 that he rose to national
fame touring college towns in a one-man
show as Mark Twain. He went on to win
a Tony for the same role on Bradway
after which television and Columbia
records helped make the name Hal
Holbrook a household word.
And it was as Mark Twain that I
became most fascinated and impressed
with Holbrook. For a period of time he
was Twain, not a reader or im
personator, but the magnificent author
himself. Holbrook knew six hours of
Twain material which meant, “that he
could vary his performance on the whim
of an instant, depending on his mood and
that of the audience - just as if he were,
in fact, Mark Twain thumbing through
memory and collected works to select
the joke, anecdote, or comment that
ideally suited the occasion.”
While we loved his Twain dearly, we
also appreciated Holbrook’s Lincoln and
shall look forward to other in
terpretations as this Sandburg
materpiece continues.
