Lady Braves on the rise
By Chris Sandbank
The Lady Braves started off the
new year at home hosting Mount
Aloysius College of Pennsylvania.
Chowan led by three at the half but
couldn ’t hold on as Mount Aloysius
prevailed 82-66. Joyce Williams
led the Lady Braves with 24 points
and Amy Washington had 22 points
in the loss.
Chowan, trying to rebound from
the loss, traveled to Baltimore,
Maryland to take on the Commu
nity College of Baltimore on Janu
ary 18. The Lady Braves added
one in the win column by prevail
ing 48-44. The Braves were led by
Joyce Williams, with 14 points,
and Amy Washington with 11
points as the Lady braves raised
their record to 2-8.
The next night, Chowan played
Hagerstown Junior College in
Hagerstown, Maryland. Joyce
Williams had a great night, scoring
a season high of 31 points, while
Charita Burke and Amy Washing
ton scored 15, and 14 points. The
Lady Braves took the game to the
wire, but fell 79-77, but the game
shows that the Lady Braves are on
the rise.
With an impressive showing
under their belt, the Lady Braves
traveled to Anderson College to
play the Lady Trojans in their
second Region X and Carolinas
Junior College Conference game
of the season on January 25 and
Cleveland, Georgia January 26 to
tangle with Truett-McConwell
College.

New Step Productions
New Step Productions dancers are
now official Chowan organization
By Chris Horvath
It all originated last year when a
few Chowan College freshmen
discovered that they could teach
and pick up each other’s dance
moves. They took time out in the
afternoons and practiced together,
forming a bond between them.
Realizing that they all had talent,
they decided to form a dance group,
which was later to be named New
Step.
They are: Preston Gist, a 19-
year-old commercial arts major
from Charlotte, N.C.; Stacey Bar
ber, also 19, and a major in com
mercial art from Columbia, S.C.;
Angel Ramos, a 20-year-old from
Roanoke, Va. majoring in physical
education; and Farante Parker, a
19-year-old majoring in market
ing, from Fort Walton Beach, Flor
ida.
The group describes their style
of dance as hip)-hop and dance to
mostly rap music. They traveled
around to local schools and show
cased their skills as well as taking
with them a special message deal
ing with drugs, alcohol, racial unity,
and the benefit of an education.
The group received terrific re
sponses and seemed like they were
on their way. They even had an
opportunity to open up for Special
Ed in Roanoke, Va. last summer,
however, the group was unable to
come together to make it happen.
This year, all four group mem
bers returned to Chowan with the
attitude of getting down to busi
ness. They underwent some
changes with the hopes of making
the group more exciting. They
added another dancer, Chris
Horvath, an 18-year-old freshman,
majoring in journalism from Beth
lehem, Pa.; a rapper, Kerry Law-
ing, an 18-year-old freshman ma
joring in architecture from Char
lotte, N.C.; and a new D.J., Ken
neth Key, a 20-year-old sopho
more, majoring in pre-law from
Cerro Gordo, N.C.
The group, now called the New
Step Productions, has opened up
its style and incorporates a variety
of acts in its new format They
have become more of a hip-hop
show, where they sing and rap
certain songs rather than just danc
ing as in the past Their new style
has pleased the group just as they
had planned and they are now in
the process of booking shows
through the spring semester and
hopefully through the summer.
The New Step Productions is an
officially sponsored organization
of Chowan College and the group
is looking forward to being with
kids and performing well for them
as well as pointing out to them
some of the wrongs in life. New
Step Productions is back and they
are better than before and ready for
the future.

Is the U.S. really in a recession?
Is the U.S. in a recession? Stu
dents in Economics 251 and 252
should be able to answer this ques
tion since they have learned that a
recession is two consecutive quar
ters without economic growth.
However, no one can answer
the question, “Is the United States
in a recession?” Economists and
politicians disagreed as to whether
or not the fourth quarter of 1990
had no growth. Even if there is no
growth in the fourth quarter of
1990, we will have to wait until
April, 1991 to find out if there
really is a recession.
According to John Viikler,
professor of economics, one rea
son that it is difficult to fight reces
sions is that a recession is already
six months old before you are re
ally sure that you have one. this is
called “recognition lag” by econo
mists.
