I PAGE 4 — Smoke Signals, Fall 1978 Mrs. Esther Whitaker, professor of religion and wife of the college president, listens at the Honors Assembly as her husband reads from the 1978 Chowanlka the dedication to her of the annual yearbook. New Students Urged To Participate Fully It is a real pleasure to welcome back on campus those students who are returning to continue studies at Chowan. A special word of welcome goes to those of you who are new to our campus. Whether you are a new student or a returning student I would assure you that Chowan College is interested in you as an individual personality, with in dividual goals, aspirations, and needs. Further, it is our desire for each of you that your experience at Chowan will be one of physical, spiritual, social, and in tellectual growth. We want you to grow as a total person. Having said this, however, I must emphasize tfiat Chowan is first and foremost an academic institution. While we want you to have an adequate amount of time for your social life, for intramurals, for athletics, for concerts, and the like, I would encourage you not to sell yourself short with respect to your studies. When all is said and done, your primary purpose in being at this institution is to achieve an academic goal, whether it is to acquire those skills that will prepare you for employ ment upon completion of your program of study at Chowan or whether it is to complete the first two years of study leading eventually to the bac calaureate. I would briefly mention some of the provisions made by the college so that your educational experience might be enhanced and, at the same time, I would urge you to take full advantage of what has been provided for you. The faculty is exceptionally well qualified, possessing academic creden tials far in excess of the minimum re quirements of our accrediting agency, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. All faculty members keep office hours. These are the students' hours, a time when faculty will see you on an individual basis. Further, each member of the full-time faculty serves as an academic adviser to a group of students. You are urged to attend all scheduled meetings with your adviser, but also to consult with your adviser periodically on an individual basis. Whitaker Library is a modem, com fortable facility in which to study and do research. Get acquainted with it and B. FRANKLIN LOWE JR. what it has to offer you early in your academic career. The library staff is well qualified and eager to assist you with your needs. Currently, the book collection is approaching 60,000 in number, exclusive of microfilm, government depository items, bound periodicals, recordings, and the like. With the exception of the gymnasium, all academic facilities and supporting equipment are of good quality and designed to provide an environment conducive to the educational process. While the current gynmasium is admit tedly less than desirable, a new gymnasium-physical education center is under construction. While the college has made extensive provisions for your academic welfare, to include the expenditure for educa tional purposes of a far greater portion of the budget than required by our ac crediting agency, all of this is beneficial only to the extent that you, our students, take advantage of it. Budget your time wisely; allow adequate time for your studies; and then find time for your other activities. We are glad to have each of you at Chowan College, and it is our sincere wish for you that this be a year of per sonal fulfillment and happiness. Dr. B.

Good Year Forecast On Diamond By SUSAN PATE Baseball, the All-American sport, holds an important position in Chowan’s athletic program. The baseball team, under the leader- sfiip of Coach Jerry Hawkins, is looking forward to a good year. Several sophomores are returning to continue the good job and team unity which was present at the end of the 1978 season. Outfielders returning for their second season are Pat D’Augustino and Jay Sexton. Three pitchers, Steve Jobe, Rusty Ingram, and Randy Temple, will be back. Returning to the infield will be Vince Lococo and Steve Canon at first base, Dave Meadows at second, Ronnie Brooks at third. Price Beville at short stop. Catcher Donnie Jones also will be on hand again. For all interested in playing baseball, a Baseball Fundamentals class (P.E. 131) will meet at 2:30 everyday. Pom-Pom Tryouts Slated By DEBBIE SAWYER Joy Braswell and Joanne Collins, who were named cheerleading co-captains for the Braves last April by the former squad, have spent the summer planning new activities for this year. A summer cheerleading camp was scheduled for June 28 through July 1 at Chowan. This camp is held for local high school squads. At the camp the girls learn new cheers and trade ideas. Cheerleading tryouts will be held ear ly this year, so the squad will be ready for the first football game. The return ing cheerleaders have compiled new wrestling and volleyball cheers. They also hope to perform pom-pom routines and hold pep rallies. Joy Braswell ex plains, “The routines will be done dur ing halftimes at ballgames.” Winslow Hopeful For 78-79 By KELLY FINCH The Lady Braves will be under the guidance of Dean Roy Winslow on the basketball court and softball diamond again for the 1978-79 season. This will be his first full year as coordinator of women’s athletics. These duties are in addition to his principal job as associate dean of students. Winslow also coaches the men’s cross-country team. Winslow is looking for an improved record as he settles down into his new assignments. Last year, the Lady Braves basket ball team compiled a 5-13 record, with Sophomore Debra Britt, of Edenton, be ing chosen as the team’s most valuable player. The softball team’s record was 3-9. Nancy Slifkin, a sophomore from Alliance, Ohio, team’s leading batter, won most valuable player award. Debra Britt gets off a jump shot despite close guarding in a game in the home gym. *TQEF % A basketball coach's life isn't oil blowing whistles, planning strategy to beat the stall and working on zone defenses. Coach Jerry Smith probably puts in as many hours at his desk as do the non-coaching faculty during the course of the entire year. It looks like the Lady Braves are using more than one baseball, but this is just an informal warmup before star ting play.
