Braves Take Conference Title,
Tourney, & Region 10 Crowns
Enroute To Kansas
By Jerry Sutton
After clinching the conference title
Chowan’s Braves headed for post
season play where they would advance
to the final of the Eastern Tarheel Con
ference Tournament
Forced to play Mt.Olive again after
losing to them late in the regular
season, the Braves didn’t let that loss
keep them down. Being patient on of
fense and working hard on defense pav
ed the way to the Braves victory.
The first half began with a quick pace
offensively. The Braves were able to
get the ball inside to John Thomas and
David Burgess. This offensive attack
proved to be successful, but still the
Mt. Olive team hung close in points all
through the half. With the game tied up
at 31 points, Mt. OUve ran seconds off
the clock to get the final shot of the
half. Freshmen Darwin Carr for Mt.
Olive got the final shot as the half end
ed, with the score 33 to 31.
In the second half the Braves again
got off to a good start, but the Mt Olive
team would hang close. Mt. Olive after
taking the lead at 37, would not get the
lead again. Following a slam-dunk by
Jim Dillard, the Braves really got
ready to shut the Mt. OUve team out for
good. During the closing minutes of the
game the Braves outside shooting and
inside penetration proved to be
too much for the Mt. Olive defense. The
final score, 90 to 67. The Braves would
go against Louisburg, who beat Lenoir
82 to 81 early in a game, in the cham
pionship game.
High scorers of the game were John
Williams for Mt. Olive with 23 points
and Nate McMillan with 25 points for
the Braves.
In the championship game, the
Braves faced Louisburg. The last time
these two teams met, the Braves won
in overtime, 58-57. It was almost a
replay in the Helms Center.
Chowan got off to a quick start with
shots down low by David Burgress and
John Thomas.
Defensively, the Braves were able to
create many turnovers with a pressing
defensive. The Braves hit the boards
very hard getting many second and
third shots at the basket.
At one point in the half the Braves
had buit up a twenty point lead. At the
half, the score SO to 33 in favor of
Chowan.
In the second half the Braves in
creased their lead to 24 points.
Braves John Thomas and David
Burgress were named to the ALL-'
Tournament Team. Nate McMillian
was named conference player of the
year and tournament MVP. Coach Bob
Burke garnered Coach of the Year
honors.
Wrestiers Finish—12-1-1
Coach Tom Martucci’s wrestler’s
finished up with a 12-1-1 season on the
mats.
Two Braves won championships and
two place second in the Mid-Atlantic
Championships in February.
Anthony Thomas at 118 and Chris
Brock at 142 brought home first place
honors.
Len Daniels and Tim Britton in the
134 and Heavy Weight catagories
respectively garnered second place
positions.
All four advanced to the NJCAA Na
tional Finals but failed to place in the
top eight in the different weight classes.
l.ast year’s Braves were eight and
eight.
This year, the 12-1-1 record looks
mighty good.
Lady Braves End Season
“We’re not happy with it and yet
again, it's not bad when you consider
some of the things that happened to
us,” commented Coach Gay Scott as
she talked about the just completed
1983-84 Lady Braves basketball season.
The Scott-coached charges finished
the season with an overall mark twelve
and twelve and a four and four con
ference record. This was good for a
third place finish in the Eastern
Division.
After downing perennial power
Louisburg, 67-57, in the final regular
season game, the Lady Braves tripped
over Louisburg in the opening round of
the tournament. Louisburg went on to
defeat the regular season winner, Mt.
Olive, in the tourney championship.
Along the way, two players from
Chowan picked up honors.
Sue Morrison of Raleigh and Sharon
Gillard of Cross, South Carolina were
named to the All-Division Team. Both
are freshmen and are expected back
next year.
Gillard was named to the All-
Tournament Team.
Alcohol Program
Started at Chowan
By Tracy Hartert
The Alcohol Referral program
started by Director of Guidance Mary
Moren, is a new addition to Chowan Col
lege. Only three other colleges besides
Chowan offer such a program.
According to Ms. Moren, the program
only offers information about drinking.
"The Alcohol Referral program was
not set up to punish, scold or preach
about drinking. It is an informative pro
gram,” said Moren.
Meetings are held twice a month. One
session is open to anyone who would
like to attend. The second is for
students who are required to attend.
A film is shown and a discussion
follows. The meeting last from two to
three hours depending on the coopera
tion from students. Such topics range
from what effects alcohol has on the
body to the social effects of drinking.
Students, as well as faculty, are en
couraged to attend this program.
The Alcohol Referral provides very
important information which can help
everyone, not just the people who are
required to attend.
For information on attending a mon
thly meeting contact Mary Moren in the
Guidance Office.
One of Chowan College's new trustees, former major league baseball pitcher Jim "Catfish" Hunter, is welcom
ed by Chowan President Bruce E. Whitaker and long time trustee, the Rev. Bennie Pledger. Pledger, pastor of New
Bern's Colony Baptist Church, met and became friends with Hunter as his former pastor at Colerain BaptlstChurch.
Hunter, a deacon ot Hertford Baptist Church, assists in fund appeals for the American Cancer Society, Diabetes
Foundation, Easter Seals and other charities. He is a little league coach and Lions Club member. Hunter, who won
the prestigious Cy Young Award, pitched five of 20-win sessions for the Oakland A s and New York Yankees.

Keith Lawson's Year In Tasmania
On your daily walk across campus, you
supported Chowan College. This is one of
“There have t)een some changes, but
in another way; things really haven’t
changed that much,” commented Keith
I.awson recently as he sat in the snack
bar.
If distance from a place gives one a
different view upon returning, then
Keith l.,awson, ’81, should have a good
perspective. It is a long way from
Chowan’s campus to Tasmania off the
coast of Australia.
I.awson, a native of Stokes County,
graduated from Chowan and transfer
red to the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill. In February 1983, he was
selected as a Rotary Scholar for a year
of study abroad.
“I really wanted to go to Australia
and was happy when my choice of coun
tries was approved,” said Lawson.
I^wson spoke to Chowan students
during Spring Semester about his year
in the land of kangaroos and koalas.
He took a non-degree science cur
riculum during his stay in Tasmania,
which is some 150 miles off the coast of
the Australian continent.
Lawson challenged Chowan’s
students to take advantage of the small
class situations at Chowan because as
he said, “you won’t find this in many
schools,”
In his talk, he told about the different
way he has come to look on the United
States after his year in Tasmania. “The
life is a slower paced life style there
than it is here. In general, the people
are more conservative than those in the
states,” said Lawson,
Keith expects to continue his educa
tion at UNC-CH this fall.
Take The Time fo Make Friendships
While Chowan's campus is a long way
from the campus of Pepperdine Univer
sity in Malibu, California, the thoughts
of the following column by Pepper-
dine’s SGA President are appropriate
at this time of the school year. When
you read Pepperdine in her column,
just think Chowan.
As the days draw closer to graduation
and I realize that I’ll be leaving a lot of
friendships behind. I’ve begun to think
about what friendship really means.
First, we have to realize that friend
ship doesn’t just happen. People need to
interact with one another and begin to
build trust with one another.
Friends are a basic source of hap
piness. Friendship is a process in which
we are continually growing. Each time
spent with a friend should mean
something so we can add to our
memory something about the friend.
The longer one shares a friendship,
the stronger the friendship becomes.
At Pepperdine, we are able to develop
close friendships. Because Pepperdine
is a small campus, it allows us to in
teract with one another constantly.
We can all share time together in the
dorms, classrooms and cafeteria.
As I reflect back to where I have
spent most of my time with my friends,
I realize that it has been in the dorms
and cafeteria.
Close relationships can develop in the
cafeteria if we allow them to, but we
can't just sit back and expect this to
happen without revealing something of
ourselves. Even in everyday situations
we need to communicate with one
another to form relationships.
Too many times we allow ourselves to
get into surface relationships. We put
ourselves in these relationships
because they are easier, and they are
non-threatening to us as individuals.
The cafeteria is a prime example. So
many times much of our conversation
at lunch and dinner is small talk. I
dislike this and commonly refer to it,
when talking to friends, as “cafeteria
talk.”
This is talk which allows us to pass
the time without saying anything rele
vant. Small talk doesn’t make friend
ship grow, but quality time and disclos
ing to one another does.
It is not important how many people
you can say “Hi” to on campus. It is not
important to be the most popular per
son and to be able to walk around cam
pus saying, “Hi, how are you” to
everyone when you really don’t mean
it.
We need to make friends our top
priority. 1 had trouble with this last
year and I allowed my friends to
become low on my priority list because
1 thought I was too busy to spend time
with them.
It took me a awhile to realize it, but
friends and times we spend together
are what we will remember when we
look back at our years at Pepperdine.
We all need someone we can tell our
darkest secrets to and still feel assured
that they will like us as much as they
did before.
It is important to let our guard down
when we are with friends. It is natural
for us not to want anyone to see our bad
side; we all fear being rejected when
people see the "real person” inside of
us.
We all want to protect ourselves. I
probably struggle with this most. I
always want people to think everything
is OK in my life.
It is especially hard for me to tell my
closest freinds how much they mean to
me. Conversely, it is easy in a surface
relationship to tell a person how
wonderful they are. Unlike a close
friend, you don’t feel that a surface
friend is walking away with a part of
you when you disclose yourself.
Self-disclosure will help us see things,
feel things, imagine things and hope for
things that could never have been possi
ble otherwise. Friends are for us to en
joy, to joke with, laugh with and reveal
ourselves to.
I read once on a card, “Friendship is
a present you give yourself.”

This summer Cape Cod and
the Islands will be offering over
55,000 good paying jobs to col
lege students and teachers.
Many of these jobs require lit

up the year 'round work force,
it is necessary to draw from
other geographic areas to
satisfy this seasonal need.
Jobs for Students and Teachers
The Cape Cod Summer Job
Bureau gathers all pertinent
tacts on available summer em
ployment and publishes this in
formation in a concise Job
Directory which is available to
college students and teachers
by February 1st each year.
Names and addresses of in
dividual seasonal employers
are listed in separate job
categories from bartenders lo
yacht crews.
The Job Bureau is a service
agency, and therefore charges

along with important tips on
how to land a good summer
job.

This year the Job Directory
has a section devoted to sea
sonal housing which lists ad
