October 18,1979 is a date many of us will never forget. .
On this day, Chowan College had a panty raid, with both men ?nd women roaming residential halls m the late-night hours,
searching for mostly undergarments. But as it turned out, more than underclothes were talcen. Some people lost pants,
dresses, coats and other valuable clothing. , j j-
The “raid” obviously got out of hand as one girl at Columns went into shock, one suffered an asthma attack and, according
to Renee Lambert who fought many of the intruders off with a baseball bat from her head resident position, another almost
had a stroke becuase of the rapid increase in her blood pressure.” j • j
At Columns, three doors were damaged and a window broken; a glass door was broken in the Belk Hall lounge and a window
in a room at Jenkins Hall also was broken. The total cost for all damages is $201.09. r,
Smoke Signals went out on campus and asked students and faculty members if they thought the Panty Raid showed
responsible behavior on the part of college students, and why? ,. . . ■ ,
WILLIAM SCHMITT, Ft. Pierce, Fla.—“I can’t say it was responsible, but as long as it wasn t destructive there s not
anything wrong with having it. I wasn't here, and if 1 was here 1 wouldn’t have participated.
HAROLD WILLIAMS, Norfolk, Va.-“I don’t think it Jvas responsible behavior.”

Masquerade Costume

A Halloween flavor was in the air as
Thomas Cafeteria held its first annual
Halloween Masquerade Party and Buf

31.

expensive items such as shirts, blouses,
dresses, etc. “Some of the students'
rooms were completely ransacked and
several complete wardrobes were
taken,” she lamented.
“My guess is that the whole thing was
organized as a type of joke which
simply got out of hand,” commented
Dean Clayton Lewis, dean of students.
Though the event caused a great
disturbance on campus, “the ad
ministration did not become overly
concerned until the students made
illegal entries into the dormitories.”
Lewis indicated that the college could
not tolerate that behavior which
violates school policy and remain the
type of institution that it professes to
be.
“If the students remain outside the
residence halls, that’s fine as it’s
traditional," concluded Lewis. “But, if
they enter the residence halls in future
raids, they will probably be dealt with
more severely if caught.”

student, a price which proved to be too
little, particularly since Parker’s dorm
fees were stolen at the beginning of the
year. Consequently the dorm came up
short with its funds to pay for the
production.
Greg Kaserman, SGA Social
Chairperson, pleaded that the
organization should help Parker and
other dorms in financial need.
Representative Michele Newborn
retorted, “It's not fair because each
dorm has paid $2 and that should be the
money used.”
SGA Treasurer Steve Whittemore
offered, “Dean Lewis has set up a
schedule to take the burden off our
backs since we’re sponsoring
homecoming and Spring Festival, so
why put the burden back on our backs.”
SGA unanimously rejected the
Kaserman proposal, but Lawrence
Mumford, Disco-Release President,
suggested that Parker and Disco-
Release could co-sponsor a dance to
come up with needed funds.
“The idea to hold this (the costume
party) was mine,” said Ron Thompson
director of food services at Thomas
Cafeteria. “My only regret is that it oc
curred at a bad time because the
students were just getting back from
vacation and didn’t know about it,” ad
ded Thompson.
The winners were;
1. Spider (Robin Herbin)
2. Pumpkin (Kate Scherer)
3. Mr. and Mrs. CTown (Steve
Whittemore and Kathy Riddick)
Among other costumes were a
Southern belle (Fred Qayton), a coun
try girl (Victor Holland), Uttle Bo Peep
(Becky Brasie), a ghoul (Greg Kaser
man), and several unidentified Ku Klux
Klansmen.
“I was surprised by the originality of
the costumes and the enthusiasm
presented by the students,” com
mented Dean Clayton Lewis, one of the
judges. He added “It was a difficult
decision to choose from all the good
costumes.”
Other judges for the event were Mr.
and Mrs. L. M. Wallace.

It won't be much longer before you'll be
slaving over the books late at night in a
fit of panic because you have exams the
next day. i
The best way to avoid the last minute
cramming is to study in advance and
prepare yourself as much as possible
for those dreaded exam days.
According to Ms. Diane Wood, one of
the counselors in Stone Hall, a big
problem with studying for exams is
procrastination. Another big problem is
test anxiety. .
“Kids are really scared to take
tests,” says Ms. Wood. “Exams can
mean so much to their grades and they
panic over the results.”
The counselors here at Chowan are
ready and eager to help with any
problems students might have in
preparing for exams. They have study
guides available which can help you
prepare yourself for the long tests, as
well as assist you in dealing with you
I regular work.
Techniques for preparation range
from muscle relaxtion exercises that
can help deal with anxiety, to
“guestimating” on objective tests.
Information ^ on learning to follow
directions and tips on what to do during
the test is also available.
There is a possibility that study
classes could be arranged this year,
according to Ms. Wood, if the student
interest runs high. “If we have a

number of students interested in
learning about taking tests, then we can
set up some classes ai night,” she said.
The counselors remind students that
tests should be a means, and not an end.
They should be used to help you solidify
valuable information. Psychologists
daim that a majority of people forget
about 80 percent of what they learn in
school, and according to the study
guide, one reason could be the heavy
emphasis on exams which causes
people to study for the sole purpose of
passing the test—not learning anything
If you would like to know how to pass
an exam and learn at the same time, be
sure and drop by Stone Hall and take a
look at one of the study guides. It could
mean the difference between sitting up
all night cramming in a frenzied panic,
and preparing adequately enough to
“ace” your exams.
