Basketball nets that is. Zach Herring, who will wear the blue and white for Giowan College the next two years, has already proved to be a good catch for the school’s program. For Herring, being caught up in the net of a successful and nationally recognized program should tip the scales in his favor when it comes time to put his player on the market for four year colleges to consider. Herring is in safe waters at Chowan, whose total athletic program has spawned several successes. The basketball program’s most famous pro duct, so far, is NCSU’s Nate McMillan. Herring, a product of Wilmington’s Laney High School, served notice Tues day night that he will be a force to con tend with during his college career. Herring was named MVP of the 37th an nual East-West All-Star game in Greensboro, scoring 25 points and grab bing eight rebounds in leading the East squad to an 89-87 win over the taller West squad. Coming from Laney High School, home of the NBA’s Air (Michael) Jor dan, Herring is constantly facing peo ple casting comparisons between him and the former UNC standout. Herring, who stands somewhat bet ween 6-foot 3 and 6-foot 4, will find himself being compared to former FUN IN SQUIRREL PARK—Many students enjoyed the games.

Tarheel link to Art explored North Carolina’s Piedmont region is known worldwide as a commercial fur niture center. Twice each year retailers come from aU over the world to look at and order furniture in High Point and the surrounding area. But far fewer people know the same area is also an arts center. In fact, within a 20- or 30-minute drive from the furniture market buildings are a number of unique museums, galleries and decorative arts centers. Together they help make an impressive case for North Carolina as one of the major arts- producing states in the country. In Winston-Salem, for example, are found the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts, Reynolds House and Old Salem, which are devoted to historic arts, as well as the Southeastern Center for the Arts, Pied mont Craftsman, Inc., and the Sawtooth Arts Center, which concen trate on the comtemporary area. In nearby Greensboro, there is a the Green Hill Center for North Carolina Art, a non-profit gallery which devotes itself entirely to nurturing and ex hibiting the work of North Carolina ar tists. Besides these organizations in the Piedmont area, organizations within a few hours distance include Penland Craft School in Penland, the John C.

Box 2866, Chicago, IL 60690 Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, and the Southern Highland Handicrafts Guild in Asheville No one is quite sure why the state sup ports so many artists and arts groups but Phyllis Lang, editor of “The Arts Journal,” says the state is believed to have witfiin its borders the largest number of artists, outside of New York and California. According to Ms. Lang, the state’s long history of support for the arts is partly responsible for the current fever of activity. She noted tfiat the tradi tional arts, especially pottery, weaving and music, have always been impor tant. Furthermore, the large number of visitors who come for vacations bring with them both interest and necessary support. The appeal of the state as a place to live has attracted artists and craftsmen from other areas as permanent residents. Besides the Penland area in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where about 100 craftsmen live and work, other ar tists’ colonies are found in Winston- Salem, Durham and Chapel Hill and in the Southern Pines region, she added.

For the new kid to make his mark at Chowan, he’s going to have to at least play up the standards set by McMillan, Greg Hollingsworth, Jim Dillard, and Jerome Cooper. The fast three names on the list have signed with successful four year schools, with last year’s leader Hollingsworth going to the University of South Florida. USF beat Wake Forest in the opening round of the NIT tournament this past season and has a better tlian average shot at making the NCAA tournament this coming season. Herring can do it all on the court — coming up with two steals, three assists ans hitting 11 of 13 shots from field in Tuesday night’s game. Herring had 14 of his 25 points in the game’s first half. For Chowan coach Bob Burke, he may face recruiting efforts in two years for Herring’s services at a four year school similar to sharks feeding in a frenzy. Herring could be the biggest fish to come out of the Chowan spawning grounds, but he will have to prove himself in waters teeming with talent. Three new athletic members Tfu-ee new faces will be found walk ing the halls of the athletic department at Chowan College this school year. A new wrestling coach, assistant foot ball coach and a director of the pre sports medicine program have been named to the Chowan faculty. Robert Casmus is the college’s head trainer and director of the pre-sports medicine program. Mark Krautheim will assist Jim Gar rison with the Braves’ football team as a defensive coach and will also serve as resident director of West Hall. The new coach was a graduate assis tant at William and Mary before com ing to Chowan. Krautheim replaces Mike Bradley. Bradley left Chowan to accept the assi- tant baseball coach position at Duke University. Anthony served as an assistant wrestling coach at Virginia Tech before accepting the wrestling coach’s posi tion at Chowan. Assitant athletic director Niel Wellborn says the new additions are some of the best young men in their fields. Wellborn says he thinks they will uphold the successful tradition of Chowan College athletics and add their own mark to Chowan sports. The pre-sports medicine program was implemented to give students ex posure as soon as possible to one of the fastest growing, and changing, areas in athletics. A very strange statement for a world torn by strife, hunger, loneliness, and hardship. Can it be that God over states His love. No! What God has declared is tremendously true as seen in Holy Scripture. In Genesis God speaks and creation is born. Order, Light, Life, and opportunity come from God s actions and God says, “It is Good”. However, man sins by disobedience to God. So, how can it be good? The key is in the scripture which states that before the foundation of the world God gave His son. God had created so that he could Love and redeem. It is only in our failure that we realize the need and love of God. It is in our hardships that we can come to know His redeeming love. So it works for Good to those that love the Lord. In the story of Abraham and Sarah we see them longing for a son. God assures them of a son. Years sUp by without the birth of a son and their faith begins to waver. They decide to help God out and arrange for Abraham to give Hagar a servant woman a child. From the birth of the child comes bitterness in the home. The child, Ishmael, and its mother are cast out after Abraham and Sarah have a child, Isaac. Good out of it! The lack of faith of Abraham and Sarah led to hate, jealousy, and problems; but from it God brings goodness. God didn’t hate Ishmael. God lov ed Ishmael and blessed Ishmael. It was Ishmael’s descendants later in the mountains that harbors Moses who fled from Egypt for murder. It is there that Moses learns of God and is conunis- sioned of God to deliver the Family of Abraham from Egypt. After the Exodus it is the descendant of Ishmael, the father-in- law of Moses that leads the Children of Abraham through the wilderness. So all things do work together for good for those that love the Lord. In the story of Jacob and Esau we see the life of the two brothers torn by jealousy. Each fears that the other will be the head of the family. Deception and anger causes the family to break up. However, in separation they come to know the love of God and his Guidance over the years. Years go by and reunion takes place with neither brother desiring to be the head of the family or to possess the material goods. Each has learned to de pend upon God and they seek new relationships. Not just obe dience to customs was the result but heart loving relationships to each other and to God. In the story of Joseph we see as a boy he was a brat. His brothers hated him. Because of their jealousy and hate they sell him into slavery. The whole family suffers in regret for years. Years later Joseph has an opportunity to help his brothers and the family. All having grown in spirit Joseph said to them, “You thought to do me evil, but God meant it for Good.” “God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son that whosoeverbelieved in Him Should not perish but have everlasting life.” The Christmas story shares the gift of God’s love in Christ. We see Christ heal, feed, forgive, and bless in dividuals of all ages and races. For his love he is hated, ciu’sed, betrayed, and placed on the crosrf. Biit it is through this that we hear Him saying to the father, “forgive them they know not what they do.” It is then that we realize that we can’t really kill the Word of God, Christ. We hear him saying: “I have come that you might have life”; “Go therefore and make disciples, baptize them in the spirit of God, teach them all things and I am with you.”; “Love the Lord Thou God with all thy heart, mind, soul, and body; and Love your neighbor as you Love yourself”; “If you believe in me you shall never die.” All things do work together for good to those who love the Lord.
