f r BIG CHIEF — Prominent at all Chowan home football games has been Big Chief Robert (Fish) Trout. Split ends, running backs, linebackers and passers all have their place at the games, os well as do the cheerleaders, but they've all had their pictures in the paper. So now hail to the chief! NAU Veterans Office Gets Fast Ad Service Not many veterans’ offices can boast of having their pamphlets and catalogues distributed by a splint car driver at race tracks. Ifowever.-’toe Of-* fice of Veterans Servicsfes at Nwthern Arizona University likes (p advertise its services in unique ways. , By sponsoring a sprint car that races Hoopsters Open Title Defense (Continued from Page 1) Johnny Johnson is another major recruit. At 6’6 the Tarboro native was a second team All-State performer in high school. Smith said that Johnson “should give us great help on the boards. He is a super athlete — leading Tarboro in track and field (he was the state triple jump champion in North Carolina last year). He should be an asset to Chowan’s athletic program”. Other Freshmen recruits include Mark Murdock 5’8, China Grove; Brian Armstrong 6’2, Elizabeth City; Haywood Evans 5’9, Tarboro; Ricky Lewis 6’4, Virgina Beach; and Jean Earl Williams 6’5, Lewiston. The Braves open their season tonight in Newport News, Virginia. Their op ponents will be Newport News Ap prentice. The Braves play in the second game of a doubleheader which pits Durham College in the first game at 7 against Smith-Deal Massey. The Braves’ tipoff will be at 9. regularly at Manzanita Speedway in Phoenix, approximately 400,000 people will see the car race. And another p. 250,000 people saw the car race this ^ summer as driver Jerry Miller traveled through the Midwest and California. “Jerry ^sti^buted catalogues, pam phlets, and posters about NAU and the veterans office on his travels,” said Bill Babb, director of the Veterans Educa tional Opportunity Center at NAU and originator of the sprint car advertising idea. “We’ve already had 56 veterans in quire about NAU because of Jerry’s ef fort.” Babb said. r ^ong with the car, the OVS also has a billboard at Manzanita Speedway advertising NAU and veterans educa tional benefits. “Auto radlfl^lfftTielWmber one sport in the nation, and many young veterans go to the races. We want to tell them about their educational benefits and en courage them to come to NAU,” Babb said. “Jerry’s been a successful driver and this helps, too. He’s won two main events and numerous trophy dashes ' and heat races. Right now he’s number two in points at Maiizanita, so he’s one of the top drivers,” Babb said. The car is painted red, white and blue with the name of the veterans office painted on the hood. Babb said he likes the patriotic color scheme. “We would really like to challenge the Army car, but since it’s a Funny Car, it only goes in straight lines and ours only races in circles. It wouldn’t work too well.” The car will be racing at Manzanita through late October, when the regular ten-month season comes to an end. Un til then, the unique ‘moving billboard’ will continue to draw veterans to Nor thern Arizonia University.

Gambrell in a presidential run off with Kemper Quaintance of Culpepper, Va., tallied 124 votes to his opponent’s 86 in the November 2 election. In the first election results, held Oct. 13, Gambrell collected 26 votes to 25 for Quaintance. Because the election results were so close, a run off was call ed. Gambrell stated after the election that he and his officers are “going to work to do what the freshmen of Chowan want us to do. ” “I‘m going to work with my officers and we are going to plan to do whatever we can to make Chowan a better place- a more enjoyable place for the freshman,” the articulate executive ex ulted. Gambrell call his opponent a “very understanding person.” He said that even though Quaintance didn’t win the race, “he’ll be an asset to the school and to the freshman class.” The new president said that Quain tance, a strong supporter of open dorms, was the only competent oppo nent that he had. Gambrell is a Virginia Beach, Va. native. Other freshman officers include Johnny L. Carstens, vice president, Cape Charles, Va.; Patricia M. Chase, treasurer, Bath, N.V,; and Gale Batts, secretary, Pikeville, N.C. Charles Faddis, director of counsel ing and career development and freshman advisor said that Gambrell and Quaintance each demonstrated leadership qualities. “They were working together even though they were running for election, and working together after the elec tion,” Faddis revealed. Elevator Vandalism Costs All By ALLAN DAVIS The elevators in Camp Savage Hall, Whitaker Library, and Parker Hall are serviced every 30 days under their war ranty, but if any of these elevators sud denly break down because of vandalism or other malfunction and need emergency service before checkup period, the elevator mechanic is called in to service it. So far, the elevators in Carrie Savage Camp Hall and Whitaker Library haven’t had any severe damages or mulfunction. But the elevators in Parker Hall have experienced several malfunctions and other damages. Jack Hassell, superintendent of buildings and grounds, said. In one incident an elevator door was kicked out of its track causing a lot of innocent elevator users to suffer the agony of waiting for the other elevator or the pain of walking up and down the steps, he added. Such incidents of van dalism hurt the housing department budget, Hassell pointed out. “The only person who benefits from a incident like this one,” he said, “is the elevator mechanic. One reason he benefits is because he charges Chowan 15 cents a mile for a round trip from WUson N.C. And the distance from Wilson to Murfreesboro is about 90 miles. “So Chowan pays him for the labor and the miles he travels. But in the end the innocent and the guilty suffer alike because this price which the college must pay for vandalism is prorated to the dorm. The elevator users lose and the mechanic wins.” Humorous Play About Murder Next on Stage By FRAN MORRISON Rehearsals started November 1 for Chowan’s next production, “Arsenic And Old Lace,” a humorous story about two sweet old ladies who poison their elderly male borders with elderberry wine. Cast in the major roles are: Mrs. Betty Batchelor, of the English Depart ment as Abby Brewster; Mrs. Esther Whitaker of the Religion Department as Martha Brewster, Abby’s sister; Ken Boaz, chaplain intern, as Mor timer, their nephew; and Tereasa Calfee, a fashion merchandising major, as Elaine Harper, Mortimer’s girlfriend.

Rooney; and Jean Sexton as Ms. Witherspoon. The play will be presented to the students and public on December 6, 7, and 8, in the Columns Auditorium at 8 p.m. Tickets are being sold for $3. Smoke Signals, Monday, November 20, 1978 — Page 7 Art Professor Douglas Eubank talks to Chowan students while they take a break on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art during New York trip. Photo by Cindy Lee. Art Students Visit Nev\/ York Museums By CINDY LEE Forty-two students and six faculty members and wives took part in the Sixth Annual New York trip sponsored by the Art Department recently. The purpose of the trip is to expose students to as much art as is possible. “A lot of times it is hard to tell much College Frisbees Fly High (CH) The sound of “fore!” rings out over the campus mall. The uninitiated campus visitor ducks, expecting a golf ball to whiz overhead. But instead, a Frisbee sails past in a slow, arcing path and drops at the base of a nearby statue. “Aha. I ought to be able to sink that for an east birdie,” shouts a young man to his companions. What the visitor has witnessed is Frisbee golf, or “frolf” to fans of the sport. Unlike golf, wide open spaces aren’t necessary. In fact campus buildings, trees,'and pedestrians arc part of the natural hazards that make the game challenging. On a number of campuses, such as the University of Houston, Vanderbilt and the University of California at Ir vine, Frisbee golf courses have been laid out, intertwined with campus paths and structures. A tee may be any open space and the hole, generally around a corner or behind some obstacle, can be a pillar, a sign, a statue or — on begin ners courses — even the broad side of a building. A more standardized course, using specially designed “disc pole holes,” is used in the national tour naments run by the Disc Golf Associa tion of Costa Mesa, Calif. The rules are the same as those for golf: Make the rounds of nine or eigh teen holes in the fewest strokes (tosses). One major frustration the frolfer faces is caused by the unknowing, helpful passerby who picks up the Frisbee to return it or, worse yet, cat ches it in flight. about art by just looking at photographs in books,” Mr. Douglas Eubank, head of the Art Department, explained. “The trip gives the students a chance to see and study paintings and other pieces of art life size. While in New York, the students visited the Metropohtan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art. After noons and evenings were left free for visits to other galleries and museums, sightseeing or shopping. Some students visited Radio City Music Hall, Greenwich Village, Chinatown and the many discos of the Big Apple. Student Poll Possible On Cafeteria Wants By ANGELA ELDER Waited in the cafeteria line for over 25 minutes on a Sunday evening lately? Ever picked up a salad bowl to find it dirt-encrusted? Discovered wilted, brown lettuce in the bottom of the main salad bowl? Found the attitude of the cafeteria workers to be one of un concern? These problems and dislikes were just a few of the many discussed at the Cafeteria Committee meeting held on October 20. Student representatives Andre Foster, Linda Mitchell, and Angela Elder voiced some of the concerns of €howan students. Andre Foster, representing West Hall, reported that frequently the ice machines do not work and suggested that ash trays be placed on the tables. Mr. Ron Thompson, director of food services, explained that students will not let the ashtrays re main on the tables. After each meal 90 percent of the trays need replacing. Linda Mitchell, representative of Belk Hall, praised the Italian dish of manicotti served during Homecoming weekend. The dish was enjoyed by a majority of diners. Angela Elder, a student represen tative of Jenkins Hall, suggested that forks be placed on the salad bar for those who only choose to eat a salad. Mr. Ben Sutton, chairman of the com mittee, said that in the past, forks had been placed on the salad bar but this practice was discontinued because it encouraged “non-regular” eaters to make a meal of salads without going through the check-in line. Angela also stated that the potatoes are not cooked long enough. Mr. Thompson agreed to check up on this matter. Mr. Thompson reported that students are sometimes very rude to the serving line workers. Students have been observed making very degrading statements to the workers. Chairman Sutton strongly suggested that the guil- * ty students be pointed out and em phasized that this kind of action will not *' be tolerated. Mr. Thompson suggested that a stu- .■ dent poll be distributed to determine i. the food likes and dislikes of the students. Mr. James Graham said the Smoke Signals could. be used for publicity. Mr. Thompson also announced that : Food Services is planning a contest to,, name the snack bar. It has never been " officially named. Contest rules and regulations are being worked out now. PTK To Run Concession Stand A full calendar of events has been scheduled for Phi Theta Kappa which wiU keep its members involved for the remainder of the semester. At the last meeting, Tandy Dunn, president, announced that PTK will operate a concession stand at the home basketball games this season. Bennie Bridgewater and Ann Bueche were ap pointed co-chairpersons for the project. Other service projects and fund- rais ing activities include a banner backing the Braves for Homecoming, a car wash on Parent’s Day and selling peanuts during home football games.
