Horse Fancier Cathy Gets Her Kicks From Raising Horses By JANE BRIDGFORTH Cathy Edwards, a student at Chowan College, loves raising horses. Miss Edwards says she loves all animals, but horses are one of her favorites. “You can work for a horse and a horse will work for you. In a way they are like humans; they can feel when you are in pain or sad or happy.” She has been in only one horse show RANDOM THOUGHTS _ By Richard Barkley - The cold north wind of winter has finally given way to the warmioutterly breezes of spring and sumrfer which bring with them many of the simple pleasures of life. Morning box scores of last night’s baseball games, long evening walks with that someone special, and looking at beautiful women in bathing suits are some of the pleasures of Spring. That is, unless you attend Chowan College. Chowan has a policy which for bids women to be seen anywhere on campus, except behind the women's dorms, in only a bathing suit. Would it be so great a sin to let the female students sun bathe in Squirrel Park? If there are any truths in this world, there are men who like to look at women and women who like to be seen by men. Most of the male students have seen women in bathing suits at sometime or another in their lives. I don’t think to do so here would upset the status quo greatly. The college seenns to think that the students have an immature attitude toward sex. However, it is the school that has the immature or backward attitude toward sex. After all, it is the administration that wants to hide the bathing suits in the back yard. With all the maids the school has hired, there is no reason the bathrooms cannot be cleaned once a day. But are they? This is my last column. During the year I have attempted to point out several of the ridiculous attitudes the administration holds toward students. I have also attempted to point out some of the shortcomings of the administra tion. I will graduate in May. I hope so meone will continue what I have begun. because she raises horses just for pleasure. Miss Edwards said that she gets more out of riding her horse around a pasture instead of in front of a lot of people. “There is a lot to taking care of a horse” Miss Edwards said, but most important is grooming. You have to make sure that it’s legs and feet are in good shape. A lame horse is no good to himself or to his owner.” Then there is feeding. “They will eat just about anything you put in front of them. But they mainly eat com, grain, hay, oats and grass.” Miss Edwards says that horse raising is a good hobby as well as good exer cise. She recommends it to anyone who loves animals and has patience. “I’ll probably still be doing it when I’m 100 years old,” Miss Edwards said. Alpha Pi Initiates Students In a recent Candlelight Ceremony in Marks Hall Auditorium, nine students were initiated into membership to Alpha Pi Chapter, Alpha Pi Ep^cn, National Honorary Secretarial Society.

Golfers, 5-2, Eye Tourney He May Not Make Big Headlines - But Team Mates Know He's There Take Care To Prevent Bad Sunburn By SARAH G. WRIGHT, RN Director of Student Health ^rvices It is that time of year when we look at our bodies and say, “How pale we will look in that new Bikini”. The next thought is, “ We will go at high noon and lie in the sun”. Oh, boy the next day, SUNBURN. If we are to avoid burning while tann ing, the sun should be taken gradually. The sun’s rays are the hottest in the middle of the day. Burning will occur much sooner if we choose this time to lie in the sun. The water also reflects the rays of the sun so that our chances of burning are increased. Since the rays will filter through the clouds we may bum even though we never see the sun shine. Wind can also cause bums. There are many good oil preparations (some with lovely scents) on the market that will help prevent bums. Olive oil is also very good. Compresses may be made with water and sodium bicarbonate to relieve the pain of sunbum. The presence of blisters, indicates a second degree bum. This leaves the nerve ending ex posed and and is very painful. A doctor should be seen when bums are this severe. After severe sunbum the slow process of obtaining a golden tan will have to be started all over, another time. The most important reason for avoiding sunbum is the danger that an excessive amount of radiation will br ing about skin cancer. It is a nnatter of record that the highest incidence of skin cancer occurs among people whoses oc cupations keep them constantly expos ed to the sun and wind.

Scoring the basket is the easy part when David Deese is leading the fast break. His crisp passes led to a covey of snowbirds during his two years as a Brave Deese is a sophomore guard and tri- captain of the 1978 Eastern Tar Heel Conference Championship team. Rare ly does he make the headlines or score many points, but he is a constant headache to opposing coaches throughout the conference. Deese is the total team player. A pro duct of Northem Durham High School, Deese was not a highly recruited player. Only Coach Bill McCraw of Chowan College showed any interest in the 6’2” guard. “Coach McCraw invited me to work out with the team here at the college while I was still in high school. He seemed to be very impressed with my play,” said Deese Deese enrolled at Chowan in the fall of 1975. However he quickly grew disen chanted with the basketball program after he was cut from a veteran team that had very few freshman. “I came to Chowan with the impres sion that I had a chance to make the team,” related Deese. STEPHENSON Bobby Sears of Murfreesboro shot a 75 to win medalist honors and lead Chowan College’s golf team to a 321-323 defeat of Louisburg College at Wake Forest Golf and Country Dub April 11. Also contributing to the Braves’ score were Greg Ailsworth with 79, Tim Mar tin with 81, and Danny Sisson with 86. Chowan’s record is 5-2. Coach Bill Sowell said he is pleased with the Braves’ improved play, adding that Chowan should be ready for the conference tournament April 30-May 2 at the Old Fort Golf and Country Club in Wilmin^n. The Braves downed Newport News Apprentice School, 332-339, April 6 at the Sleepy Hole Golf and Country Club in Portsmouth, Va. with 81. He was followed by Sears and Ailsworth with 82, and Louis Burleson with 87. The medalist was Curtis Brooks of Newport News with 80. Earlier, on April 3, Sears shared medalist honors as the Braves’ golf team split a tri-match with Newport News and Mt. Olive at Beechwood >■ Country Club. Paced by medalist C. Rose’s 73, Mt. Olive won with a 319 team score. Chowan was second with 326, followed by Newport News Apprentice with 339. Qiowan’s four low scores were recorded by Sears mth 73, Ailsworth and Martin with 84, and Sisaon with 85. The golfers handed a 340-343 defeat to Louisburg March 20 at home. Winds as high as 30 m.p.h. swept the Beechwood Country Club course and made it a “terrible day for golf,” ac cording to Coach Sowell. Louisburg’s John Daniels was medalist with 80. Chowan’s top four scores were recorded by Sears, who shot an 82; Ailsworth, U; Sisson, 86; and Martin, 89. Belk Tyler Executive To Speak James D. Wordsworth, Jr., vice president in charge of personnel, train ing and development of the Belk Tyler stores, will speak in Marks Hall auditorium at Monday at 10 a jn. He will present employment possibilities at Belk Tyler’s and associated retailing activities to business administration and merchan dising students. His appearance is sponsored by the Merchandising Management program, headed by Mrs. Elizabeth L. Francis. Wordsworth received his B.S. degree in business administration at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he majored in personnel. He has been cooperative training director of NCNB at Charlotte and joined Belk Tyler nine years ago. Wordsworth is in charge of Belk’s Junior Executive Training Program. DEESE “I was naive enough to believe Coach McCraw. I know now that I was recruited primarily for the college,” Deese e^lained. “Coach McCraw didn’t tell me that I would have a difficult time making the team my freshman year. The school got my money and I got cut,” Deese said. Deese went on to say that the ad ministration frowns on the coaches tell ing prospective student-athletes that they cannot play here and suggest they go to another school. “I think this could have been a major factor in the way Coach McCraw handl ed the situation with me,” explained Deese. The next year Deese changed his ma jor which required him to return to Chowan for two more years. Again he went out for the team. This time he made it and became a starter. However, Chowan went 5-22 that year and McCraw resigned at the end of the season. “I hated to see him go,” conunented Deese. “I feel he wanted to get out of coaching but couldn’t find a way to do so and remain here at the College.” The school hired Jerry Smith as the new head basketball coach. In one season Smith tumed the basketball pro gram around and went on to a 204 season. “Coach Smith brought a winning and competive attitude with him and that was the biggest factor in the tur naround,” Deese said. Deese also said “Coach Smith taught me that hard work will get you almost anything.” Hard work and Deese’s unselfish play contributed greatly to the team’s suc cess this year. Randolph Macon College in Virginia has shown an interest in Deese and Coach Smith is looking into other pro grams on his behalf. “I don’t know if I’ll play ball anywhere next year,” said Deese, “Maybe I’ll just go to work.” Deese will graduate in May. He will leave a big hole to fill. Diversified Base Urged For Judicial Findings Stephenson Wins State Citation E. Frank Stephenson, Jr., project director of the Upward Bound Program at Chowan College, has been named a Citation Winner for the 1977 National Volunteer Activist Awards. He is the only North Carolina citizen receiving this honor. Stephenson was notified in a letter from George Romney, chairman of the board for th44ational Center for Volun tary Action, with headquarters in Washington, D.C. Stephenson was also commended by Dr. Sandra C. Thomas, executive direc tor, Governor’s Office of Citizen Af fairs. She noted, “It is quite an honor, indeed, that you are among the 50 cita tion winners selected from over 700 nominees across the country. We, in North Carolina, are extremely proud of this accomplishment and also of your leadership in volunteer activities in our state.” Stephenson was earlier selected by Gov. Jim Hunt as North Carolina Adult Volunteer of the Year. The National Center for Voluntary Action awards Stephenson the honor for his volunteer activities in many dif ferent fields throughout North Carolina over a sustained period of 12 years. In his letter, Romney said, “The Na tional Volunteer Activist Awards are an important part of the National Center for Voluntary Action’s major goal: to stimulate new responses to America’s most pressing needs through the greater recognition, utilization, and coordination of volunteers. “We hope that many other citizens will follow your lead and become motivated to volunteer. We truly believe that through the contributions of njUlions of private citizens working together we can directly improve the quality of life for each person in America.” Dr. Thomas commented, “Governor Hunt has placed, among the highest priorities in his administration, citizen involvement and volunteerism in North Carolina. Mr. Stephenson is to be com mended for the leadership which he has exhibited in North Carolina. I join many others across the state in con gratulating him on this fine achieve ment.” Stephenson, 38, is married to the former Margaret Long of Richmond, Va., and they are the parents of two boys and one girl. What's That Name? St. Petersburg, Fla. (CH) — The Florida Board of Regents had finished hearing glowing praise of the man they had just elected as the new president of Florida Technolgical University, “Trevor Colemen.” Then someone pointed out that the man’s name is Trevor Colboum. By CHARLES HITCHCOCK “The gtudent-^aculty judiciary com mittee has a good selection of people, does a good Job (rf taking a person’s character into consideration, and tries to be as fair as possible,” said Roger Page, Mixon Hall’s secretary-treasurer and seargeant-at-arms of the judiciary committee. The committee consists of four elected members and five represen tatives with seven alternate members. The committee’s duty is to hear cases of students accused of breaking college rules and to make a decision based on evidence presented as to what should be done. The verdict is based on a set list of disciplinary actions found in the col lege ha^book. The committee works In the following manner; the accused is taken before Dean Roy Winslow who makes a formal accusation and offers an option in the form of a fine or a set number of hours working off the fine at $2.25 an hour. If the accused contends he’s innocent of the charge, he has the right to a hear ing. Winslow presents any witnesses that he may have before the committee and acts as prosecuter. The accused may also present any witnesses he may have before the committee over which presides Liz Rice, the committee presi dent. The verdict is decided by majority vote. The votes are done by secret ballot and if the accused is found guilty he may appeal to the faculty judiciary committee. From the faculty judiciary committee, the accused can appeal directly to Dr. Bruce E. Whitaker presi dent of the college. Chowan’s college review board (an arbitrary committee) goes into session when new evidence is presented, or if Group Tours N.Y.

An(4ber high spot of the trip was the international costume exhibit at the Metropolitan Musuem of Fine Arts. An exhibit called “Vanity Fair” showed period costumes from all parts of the world. The students also studied the furniture exhibits and other works of art in the museum. the council’s decision is thought faulty by Winslow, or if Winslow thiidu that the faculty should preside over the stu dent judiciary committee and the ease is reviewed again by the students com mittee or the faculty committee. The review board’s job is to make sure the judicial process is executed fairly and it has these options whn reviewing a case: that the decision made by a committee will stand, that something isn’t quite right and should be reviewed by the committee (In which case the board reviews the case a second time), and if new evidence is presented on appeal by the defendant in which case the board may demand a new hearing. “Things I’d like to see changed arc a combination of students and factdty along with the administration as the deciding factor, not just Dr. Whitaker’s word alone,” said Page. “This would result in a combined decision as to what should be done,” Page said.
