Two Chowan Teachers
Named 'Outstanding'
By DONNA SWICEGOOD
and WILLIAM HOBSON
Dwight Collier, professor of printing
technology and Edward Wooten pro
fessor of mathematics were selected
as two of the nation’s “Outstanding
Young Men of America for 1979”. The
honor recognizes young men through
out the nation for professional
achievement and community service.
Collier, a native of Goldsboro,
received his Associate Degree in
Graphic Arts from Chowan. As a stu
dent at Chowan, Collier received the
award for the highest scholastic
average and also was named the most
outstanding graduate in graphic arts.
He was inducted into Phi Theta Kap
pa, national honor fraternity, and was
also selected for “Who’s Who in
American Junior Colleges”.
Collier received his BA degree from
East Carolina University. While at
ECU, he was named “Outstanding
Technical Teacher Education Ma
jor” in 1976 and was a member of Phi
Tau international honorary profes
sional fraternity in Industral Arts and
Vocational education.
Questioned on his reaction to the
honor. Collier said he was “surprised
and overwhelmed”.
“It was an honor to be nominated,
but,” Collier emphasized, “it was even
more of an honor to be selected”.
Collier said he was most pleased by
the part of the award for community
service. He stated that he “tried to
contribute to the community and the
fact that someone thinks I contribute
to the community is an honor.”
He emphasized that among his
teaching duties he enjoys most work
ing with students. “I like to feel I have
a good relationship with students,”
Collier added.
Collier is married to the former Ella
Whitley of Roanoke-Rapids. The cou
ple reside in Murfreesboro.
Wooten is a graduate of Wake
Forest University where he received a
B.S. Degree in mathematics. He has
studied additionally at East Carolina
University and the College of William
and Mary.
Wooten was nominated to “Who’s
Who in the South and Southeast” and
is the sponsor of the Phi Theta Kappa
Honor Society. He was named a
Henkins Scholar for four years and is
a member of Kappa Mu Epsilon, a na
tional honor society for math majors.
Wooten is married with three
children.
In reaction to the honor, Wooten
said he was very pleased and con
sidered it an honor to be nominated,
much less selected.
Wooten said he was most pleased
with the part of the award which
recognized him for professional ser
vice.
The calculus sequence is what he en
joys teaching most because, he says,
it is challenging.
Collier’s and Wooten’s biographies
are included in a volume distributed to
a vast majority of libraries throughout
the United States and also the Libray
of Congress.

The Lady Braves, after another
series of road games stand 2-2 in the
conference and 5-6 in overall competi
tion.
When the Lady Braves played
Louisburg on October 2, they were
defeated 6-15. According to Coach Janet
Collins, the Braves played even with
Louisburg in the first part of the first
game then the players lost some of their
confidence. By the time they regained
it, the game had already gone to
Louisburg. She also said that the second
game was played well but Louisburg
out-spiked them 8 to 1.
“I think we can play even with them”
she added and the Braves will get a
chance to try again in a home match on
October 31.
On service Susan Whalen, Terri Tyler
and Heather Holt were most consistant.
Wanda Bacote scored three spikes, Holt
made two and Whalen got in two dinks
and drives. Defensively Bacote and
Whalen played consistently.
Mrs. Collins said that the team’s ma
jor problems were in the areas of serve
reception and defense.
On October 5, Chowan was defeated
byUNC-Wilmington4-15; 3-15.
“This is the worst match we have
played to date,” observed Mrs. Collins
Chowan was outscored on service 8 to 30
and at the net 6 to 0. She added that “we
started with errors and kept on making
them. I think we can play more com
petitively against them and I know we
can play with them.”
In the match against Brevard on Oc
tober 6, Chowan won 16-6; 154. Chowan
out served the 6 to 4 and out played
them at the net 7 to 0.
Whalen and Georgia Ross each made
three spikes. Tyler made three dinks
and Belva Tharpe had three good
drives.
At the service line Cathie Pickens
made 12 good serves, Bacote had 10 and
Whalen put 8 over. On defense Whalen,
Bacote and Tyler were consistant and
Tyler was also good on blocking.
This is one of the best competitive
matches that Chowan has played so far,
Mrs. Collins asserted. They made
mistakes, but they “kept a positive at
titude,” she added. She also stated that
the only problems the Braves had
were with service reception and block
ing in the first and third games.
Bacote, Whalen and Tharpe put the
most serves over for Chowan with 12,10
and 8 respectively. Ross made 6 spikes
and Bacote had 3. Bacote also had two
dinks. Whalen-had sk- drives and
Pickens made five.
Defensively, Ross, Tyler and Tharpe
were the most consistent. Each team
member did well in service reception,
but Scotlyn Patrick and Bacote handled
the most. Patrick handled nine while
Bacote had eleven.
The Lady Braves had a winning day
October 10 when they defeated
Greensboro and Wingate.
They defeated Greensboro 15-8; 15-13.
Chowan out-served Greensboro 5 to 1
with Tharpe, Tyler, Ross and Holt put
ting in the good serves for the Braves.
On the net Chowan out-scored them 12
to 2. Bacote put in 11 good spikes and
Holt had 9. On dinks Pickens and Tyler
did a good job and Pickens also had the
most drives.
It was a good defensive game with
everyone doing well in service recep
tion. Tyler, Bacote, Holt and Tharpe
were the most outstanding in getting
the ball up defensively.
Wingate was defeated 15-6; 15-0.
There were no problems in this match,
according to Mrs. Collins and not too
many errors were made.
Chowan out-scored Wingate 4 to 1
with Tharpe, Pickens, Holt and Tyler
having the most consistant
Offensively Chowan out-played them
at the net 14 to 1. Bacote, Tyler, Ross
and Holt had the most spikes in the
match. Ross, Tyler and Tharp each had
three dinks and Pickens had four
drives.

Penalties, Dropped Passes,
Poor Kicking Mar 7-0 Loss
By HARRY PICKETT
Plagued by poor field goal kicking,
punting, pass-receiving and penalties,
the Chowan Braves’ football team suf
fered its second straight Coastal Con
ference loss Saturday, October 22,
dropping a 7-0 decision to North
Carolina neighbor Lees-McRae.
Chowan, which took it on the chin
last week against arch-rival Ferrum
(14-0) for its first league setback,
drops to 4-3 and 1-2. The Braves lone
conference victory came over
Potomac State(20-21). Lees-McRae
climbs to 4-1 overall and 3-1 in league
play, one game behind conference
leader Ferrum.
The Braves who have had problems
whith their kicking game all season,
missed three field goal opportunities
Saturday. Chuck Amos missed from 47
and 17 yards out and Todd Moore was
short from 41 yards.
Penalties also stumped the Braves’
scoring efforts. The home team
amassed 85 yards worth, with a 15-
yarder coming to open the game, and
a roughing the kicker penalty four
plays later. The biggest penalty,
however, came with 9:01 left in the
Braves Fall to Ferrum
Third Year in Row, 14-0
By HARRY PICKETT
FERRUM — For the third con
secutive season, Chowan College has
fallen victim to a Ferrum College
defeat. The Braves dropped a 14-0
decision here October 6 in a Coastal
Conference football contest.
With the loss, the sixth-ranked junior
college in the nation fell to 4-2 and 1-1 in
conference play. Ferrum, third-rated
in the country, stayed undefeated with
the victory here at Adams Field,
moving to 5-0 and 3-0 in Iood action.
Chowan last conquered the Panthers
in 1976 with a victory at home. But since
that time, Chowan Coach Jim Garrison
and the Braves team have suffered
frustrating defeats to their arch-rival.
In this year’s contest, another
frustrating day came, beginning with
the knee injury of starting quarter
back Eric McDaniels early in the se
cond period. McDaniels, who is the
total offensive leader in the Coastal
Conference, was carried off the field
after scrambling in heavy traffic.
The Braves could generate very little
offensively against the stingy Ferrum
defense. Chowan chalked up just 136
yards total. Tailback Percy Godette
carried 23 times for 55 yards, and
reserve quarterback Xavier Love
tacked on 65 through the air.
A scoreless first half saw two
nationally ranked powerhouses each
shut down the other’s offensive efforts;
and the second half looked as if the
game would end scoreless, too. But a
bad exchange from reserve quar
terback Mike Stewart (who came in for
the injured McDaniels) to fullback
Tommy Jones late in the third period,
result^ in another turn in the Panthers
favor.
Defensive tackle Ron Amodeo
pounced on the loose ball at the Chowan
20, setting up a four-play drive which
culminated with fullback William “Boo
Boo” Trent bulling over at the one-yard
line. Barry Reed’s conversion was
perfect, giving Fernmi a 7-0 margin
with 1:02 left in the third quarter.
On the first play of Chowan’s next
series, Stewart again made a bad ex
change, this time with tailback Godette
on the Chowan 31. But Ferrum then
fumbled it right back after its recovery,
losing it on the Chowan three. Defen
sive end Hal Henderson came up with
the ball. A personal foul gave the
Braves the ball on the Ferrum 15.
But dis^ter struck again.
On Stewart’s first attempted handoff
of the fourth quarter, again a bad ex
change with Godette was made, and
again Ferrum recovered — taking over
on the Chowan 20.
Five plays and a couple of minutes
later, Ferrum’s Steve Burton scam
pered in the end zone from nine yards
out to increase the Panther lead. Reed
came on to boot, putting his team ahead
with the final tally, with 12:55 left.
tourth period when Percy Godette, the
conference's leading rusher,
scampered in the end zone from seven
yards out, only to have it called back
because of a holding penalty. Fullback
Tommy Jones fumbled on the Lees-
McRae 13 one play later, halting the
Braves closest penetration.
Chowan completed just three of 19
passes for the afternoon. Xavier Love,
the Braves quarterback, completed
two of 14, most of which were dropped
by Brave receivers. Eric McDaniels,
who injured a knee against Ferrum
last week, made a surprise ap
pearance in the fourth quarter. He
was one of five for 15 yards. Love con
nected for 20 yards.
The Bobcats drove 52 yards on their
tally in the third period. Fullback Ron
Owens swept off-tackle from 15 yards
out to cap a 9-play drive with 4:47 left
in the quarter. Russ Carpentier’s con
version was perfect.
Defensively for Chowan, linebacker
Allen Poston led the way, clawing for
12 tackles and 13 assists. Tackle Dan
ny Jones had 10 tackles and 11
assists for the day and defensive end
Robert Brown fought for nine tackles
and 2 assists, plus a fumble recovery
and a sack.
Godette led the offense, notching 100
yards on 24 carries. Amos Jordon
35 yards receiving from three re€Bf>->o
tions.

Daytona Adds Special
For Women Drivers
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.- A new
race which could see as many as a half-
dozen women competing has
been added to the Thanksgiving
Weekend schedule at Daytona In
ternational Speedway.
The $20,000 Kellygirl 50 has been
scheduled at 11:00 a.m., Sunday,
November 25 and will be followed at
noon by the Champion Spark Plug 100
and at 2:00 p.m. by the Winston GT 250.
The Kellygirl 50 will be run by in
termediate sedans such as Chevy Nova,
AMC Concord, Ford Granada, Plymoth
Volare, Buick Skylark and Oldsmobile
Cutlass.
Among the women expected to
compete in this new race are Lyn St.
James, Liz Kleinschmidt, Judy
Stropus, Mary Ann Vann,Linda Sharpe
and Patty Moise.
St. James has the distinction of
having finished higher in an American
professional auto race than any other
woman when she finished second at
Road Atlanta earlier this year.
While the Kellygiri Challenge series
has a point fund incentive to encourage
the participation of women racers, the
series has also attracted some of the
leading male road racing drivers.
The current series leader is Gene
Felton and he is followed by Gene
Rutherford, Jerry Thompson, Vem
Smith and Pat Bedard in a tremendous
battle for second place. Only seven
points separate the four.
A recent announcement by the
sanctioning International Motorsports
Assn. will permit the lightweight sbt
cylinder intermediates to race with
unrestricted carburatioon.
It is expected that Daytona will see
the debut of many of these potent and
nimble new machines.
The Kellygirl Challenge is the newest
of IMAS’s three professional road
racing series and offers a season-
ending point fund of $55,000 to be
divided among the top ten drivers.
The Thanksgiving Weekend of racing
traditionally ends the year of auto
racing at Daytona International
Speedway which will see many of the
same cars which will race in the 1980
season-opener, the 24 Hour Pepsi
Challenge on February 2.
