Chowan’s Trainers
By Waldo Tuttle
When you’re playing sports and you
get hurt or hot and thirsty, who do you
call. Why, the trainers of course. Most
people think of a trainer as somebody
who sits on a bench with a medical kit
waiting for someone to get hurt. This is
true, but it is only one of the trainers
many functions. A trainer is a person
who engages in the prevention, treat
ment, care and rehabilitation of
athletic injuries.
One of the major concerns of athletic
trainers is to prevent heat illness. Just
imagine how hot it can get on a Satur-

day afternoon under the beaming sun
while you are covered in pads and a
football uniform, or even after you have
just played a stoking hot set point? Heat
exhaustion, heat stroke and heat
frostration can greatly endanger
anyone in athletics.
Medical trainers are equally impor
tant, if not more, before practices and
games as well as during them. The
trainers are responsible for taping
ankles, wrists, and the like, so the
players get more support in the areas
they need.

College Scholarship Finders
Computerized Financial Aid Search
Students who believe a higher educa
tion is quickly becoming a privilege
that only the rich can afford should
think again. Despite federal cuts in stu
dent aid, a substantial amount of finan
cial aid is still available for the college
bound from private sources. Civic
organizations, corporations, profes
sional associations and religious groups
award over $3 billion in grants, loans
and scholarships each year.
Thousands of scholarships are
available but information about them is
not widely publicized. As a result more
than $145 million in student aid went
unused last year.
An organization called College
Scholarship Finders is helping students
find sources of financial aid for their
college education. CSF uses a computer
system to link students with specific aid
after they fill out a dataform which
asks for such information as family
background, academic achievements
and after school activities.
The goal of CSF is to ensure that
these scholarships reach the students
who need them. Information is
available to high school juniors,
seniors, college freshmen and
sophomores. For more information

Eating Pretty
Doctors used to believe that certain
foods could ruin a complexion.
Teenagers were on warning to steer
clear of chocolate and greasy foods
because it was thought that they caused
acne. Today, most dermatologists
agree that these foods won’t bring on a
breakout, but they also believe eating a
balanced diet can keep a complexion
health, and improve the condition of
your hair and nails.
An important study, which refuted
the chocolate/acne connection, was
conducted at the University of Penn
sylvania, where acne patients were
divided into two groups and fed two dif
ferent types of candy bars that looked
identical. One group received bars that
contained no chocolate, while the other
group ate bars enriched with ten times
as much chocolate as an ordinary one
would contain. None of the
chocolate/eaters experienced any
change in their acne condition.
Greasy foods have also been cited as
acne promoters. But according to
Calfornia dermatologist Alan Gaynor,
M.D., clinical instructor at ChUdren’s
Hospital in San Francisco, while apply

Lakeside
Student Center
by Donna Smith and Wendy Jo
The Lakeside Student Center is a place where students can go to
relax and get their mind of classes. Also at the Student Center one
can wash and dry his clothes for it has six washers and eight
driers, which use tokens puchased from either the college
bookstore or the snackbar.
In the recreation department Lakeside consists of four pool
tables, two ping-pong tables, eight video games and a TV room.
Also for recreation one can rent roller skates for fifty cents. Music
is played for everyone to relax by. To get away from the dorm
because of noiseness one can use the tables upstairs to study.
Lakeside also has a soda machine, a vending machine, a pay
telephone and restrooms.
Two college officials have offices located in Lakeside. They are
Coach Anthony and Pam Riddle. The SGA office. Coordinator’s
office, and conference offices are also located inside Lakeside. All
students visit Lakeside at least once a day just to check their mail
at the post office which is located there also.
On a nice, hot, calm day students find it relaxing to use the two
canoes that Lakeside has available for their use during the times
available which are from 1; 00 pm - 6:45 pm.
Through the work-study program 31 students are employed at
Lakeside Center. They help keep the student center clean and give
out equipment.
The Lakeside center has an equipment booth where you can
check out the equipment you need to play ping- pong and pool (so
long as you have your college LD. card). You can also get change
for the video machines and the pool tables at the equipment booth.
The student center is for Chowan students and their guests. The
faculty and staff are also allowed to bring their famalies and
guests.
The Lakeside Center is open from 8:00 am till 11:00pm on
weekdays but the equipment booth does not open until 1:00 pm.
The center does not open until 2:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday.
Don’t forget that the Center is closed on hohdays observed by
Chowan College.
So next time you are bored and have nothing else to do why not
stop by the Lakeside Student Center and see what it has to offer?

Dr. Chamblee, the director of the
Chowan College choir since 1959 in
forms us that the requirements of the
choir are as follows: The campus choir
consists of all interested comers. The
touring choir though, must be
auditioned for and generally contains
16-20 hand selected persons.
Our campus choir performs twice a
year in addition to any special
programs. Whereas the touring choir
travels at great lengths, sometimes as
far as Maryland and Florida. Already
they have been to Oxford to sing for
some of the school’s sponsors and also
to Morehead City. They look forward to
many more exciting journies as the
year progresses. The finale of the
touring choir comes though at the end
of the spring semester when they will
go on a one week tour of North and
South Carolina. The choir will be
singing in various cities within 100
miles of each other. Dr. Chamblee says,
“I like for them to have fun while they
travel,” and thus allows time for site
seeing during the tour.
Sounds like bundles of fun!
All library books are due Dec. 3rd!
All obligations to Whitaker library must be cleared
before a student is admitted to final examinations.

RALEIGH-Despite new federal
regulations that slowed the processing
of financial aid applications for college
students, an official at North Carolina’s
central lender for student loans says
money still is available for the 1986-«7
school year.
"We started with more than $66
million in available loan money,”
explains D. L. Paul, president of
Raleigh-based College Foundation Inc.
(CFI) “We will have adequate loan
funds for North Carolina students at
undergraduate and graduate levels us
ed at accredited colleges, universities,
vocational and technical schools, in or
out of state.”
CFI’s sole purpose is providing
financial assistance specifically for
North Carolina students.
New-regulations from the L)eB!arj-_
ment of Education has required a vast
increase in the amount of paperwork
for college financial aid officers, often
delaying the distribution.
One regulation now requires cam
puses to verify at least half of the in
come statements of all aid applications.
Another new requirement forces all
students applying for a Guaranteed
Student Loan to first apply for a Pell
Grant, even if they don’t qualify. Pell
Grants are awarded to the neediest
students, those whose parents earn less
than $28,000 per year.
“In theory, the new regulations are
good,” Paul says. “They were designed
to make sure only qualified students
receive federal money. But the
regulations have tremendously in
creased the paperwork of college
financial aid officers. In addition, the
timing of the new regulations have
resulted in some students having to
wait until they’re in school to find out if
they were approved for a loan. Many
schools advised students to report as
scheduled. Financial aid offices-and
our offices-are still handling ap
plications and questions.
■‘Once loan apphcations are received
at CFI, we process them as quickly as
possible,” Paul adds. “We are very
sensitive of the time factor involved for
the students applying for loans.”
Loan funds are provided annually by
the state’s full-service banks and are
administered by CFI. Of the 63 North
Carolina banks, 46-or 73 percent-
either have participated or are par
ticipating in funding the educational
loan program administered by CFI.
Chartered by Gov. Luther Hodges in
1955, CFI continues as the central
lender for the NC Insured Student I..oan
Program and the NC PLUS Ix>an
Program foir*^rents. The federally
backed student loans are at eight
percent interest. Most borrowers of
student loans qualify for the federal
goverment to pay the interest during
enrollment and until repayment which
begins six month after a student leaves
college or drops below half-time
enrollment.
"We encourage those students who
still may need financial assistance
during this school year to immediately
contact CKl or college financial aid
offices. "Stt ts and parents should
apply for loans as soon as
possible.” 1 jtes.
CFI also administers the NC Student
Incentive Grant Program and student
financial assistance programs of
various foundations, including the
Broyhill Foundation, Byrum-Mansfield
Memorial Fund and James E. And
Mary Z. Bryan Foundation.

face can clog pores, consuming greasy
foods will not affect your skin.
Although nothing you eat will actual
ly cause acne, there are foods that may
improve your complexion. According to
Francis lacobellis, M. D., attending
clinical professor at New York
Hospital-Comeli, “You get a new layer
of skin every month, so to insure proper
turnover, you must have a well-
balanced diet to get all the vitamins you
need. “For example, if you’re getting
very little vitamin C, your skin will
bruise more easily.
During the winter you may find that
your skin is prone to dryness. This can
be remedied by increasing your fat in
take. “You can also prevent dryness by
getting adequate amounts of A, D and E
vitamins,” says University of Min
nesota Nutritional Biochemist Karen
Owens. “A diet rich in fruits,
vegetables, meats and dairy products
will keep your skin looking healthy.”
Finally, calcium, phosphorus and
vitamin D will promote growth of your
hair and nails, so be sure to eat plenty
of dairy foods, green vegetables and
meat, all of which will provide you with
these vital nutrients.
