Dorm Space Available Page 3—Smoke Signals, Wednesday, January 27, 1971 By D. H. Nicholson, Registrar This article, concerned with living facilities at institutions to which a two-year Chowan College student might transfer to finish his work toward the bac calaureate, represents the last of a series of reports which sum marize the responses given to a questionnaire mailed to 200 colleges and universities this past summer. This last report will evolve from the answers of the responding institutions to the fifth inquiry of the aforemen tioned questionnaire. This last inquiry is as follows: 5. Approximately how many on-campus and off-campus living spaces do you have available for transfers into yoiu" junior class next Fall? Of the 148 institutions (or 74 per cent of the total mailings) which responded, 135 institutions (or slightly over 91 per cent of the total respondents) directed an answer to this inquiry. And 9 institutions (or 6 per cent of the total respondents), for some reason, did not answer this fifth inquiry although these 9 schools did respond to the first four inquiries already reported. As has also been reported, 4 in stitutions (or almost 3 per cent of the total respondents) returned the questionnaires which were either incomplete and, therefore, not usable for our study or the 4 returned the questionnaire with responses which they did not want released for general student use. There are many reasons for including such an inquiry con cerning housing facilities in a questionnaire relating to transfer problems. The major reason, however, pertains to something we might term, for the lack of a better reference, “admissions potential.” If a college or university has rather expansive housing facilities for boarding students, admissions policies may sometimes reflect this in the effort to ‘fill empty beds.’ Of course, the preceding statement is a generaUzation; however, it stands to reason that where there are ample on-campus housing facilities, there is also proof of a strong empetus to utilize these facilities to full capacity. TTierefore, in the responses cited below in Group I, the Chowan College two-year-student who anticipates transferring to a four- year institution can see definite / advantages in applying to an institution which indicates a large number of housing spaces for prespective transfer students. For example, it is apparent that a prospective transfer student might have a better “admissions potential” at an institution which reports a large number of on- campus and off-campus facilities such as Southern Mississippi (with its answer “Several hun dred-all you can send us.”) and that the prospective transfer student might have a lower “admissions potential” at an institution which reports a smaller number of on-campus and off-campus living spaces, such as the University of Rich mond (with its response of “about 50-75 spaces” available for transfer students). Again the preceding statements are generalizations, but they do help to indicate to the prospective student where he might apply and have a better chance for admissions, providing he has the measurable potential for completion at that institution. The institutions and their responses are divided below for the reader’s appraisal. In Group I will be those institutions which indicated the number of on- campus and off-campus housing facilities available for transfer students after their first two successful years at Chowan College. In most instances, the complete responses of the in stitutions have been cited. In Group II will be those schools which had responded to all the previous inquiries but did not respond to this fifth one, perhaps mistakenly.

RELAXING BEFORE THE SHOW Members of the First Chamber Dance Company of New York, who performed here Jan. 20 are pictured with their families. Members includ ed director Charles Bennett, Marjory Mussman, Michael Uthoff, and Lisa Bradley. Cafeteria Minutes The meeting of the (Cafeteria Committee was caUed to order by Mr. Ben Sutton at 11:45 a.m. Tuesday, December 1, 1970. Mr. Jerry Wilson reported that the new grUl had been instaUed and that a second milk machine and soft drink machine were now in use. The group was told by Mr. Sutton that a second syrup and butter dispenser has been pur chased. Eggs are now served five days a week-Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Pancakes, hot cakes, french toast or waffles are served on other Intramura Summary The Squirrels on the front campus have obtained a lofty position at Chowan CoUege whUe the Red Carpets of South, Chowan’s new dormitory, have been soUed. This is the report from Chowan’s dean of men, Earl DUday, who is quick to point out that the “Squirrels” and “Red Carpets” are intramural teams. The faU semester summary after Ballet Met Favorable Response By BETSY L. SMITH For those Chowanians who chose not to attend the ballet last week, my only comment is that you missed a great event. Many of us wiU never have another opportunity to attend a per formance of such exceUence. The dancers were, in my opinion, beyond any criticizm. They were as foUows: Charles Bennett, director and founder of the acclaimed First Chamber Dance Co.of New York;Marjory Mussman, who was formerly with Jose Limon and Robert Jotfrey; Michael Uthoff, who is on the staff of the dance department of JuiUiard School of Music; and Lisa Bradley, who has performed at the New York City Opera, on television and at the White House. Miss Bradley is also gifted with the honor of being chosen “Who’s Who” in American Women. ModeUng the Spanish style with great agiUty, Sara de Luis was also very im pressive. They were magnificent per formers who gave an outstanding performance. Baptist CoUege of Charleston (S.C.) Bennett CoUege (N.C.) Campbellsville CoUege (Ky.) CoUege of WiUiam and Mary (Va.)

In between ate 25 other teams from Chowan’s men’s residence halls. The Squirrels placed first in track and field while the Swamp Stompers of South Seventh captured flag football and volleyball. They are second in the overall standings. Individual champions are Henry King, cross country, and Brinkley Wagstaff, foul shooting. King represents the Skyscrapers of South Eighth (you can’t go any higher on Chowan’s campus) and Wagstaff resides in West Third South. The point spread between the Squirrels and Red Carpets is 405 to 28. Obviously the other teams have been wiping their feet on you-know-who. The tightest "race" is the one for 22nd place with the Hoppity Toads holding a one- point lead over their cousins. Frogs, 109-108. The Toads play for South 0 Floor and Frogs for West Three North. Intramural action attracted 538 male students for 67 percent participation minus footbaU and basketbaU players. DUday explained that the point standings at the end of the year will determine the unit in tramural champion. Sports scheduled for the spring semester include basketball, tennis, swimming meet, softball, badminton, ping pong, and wrestling. Following are statistics for the faU 1970 semester of Men’s In tramural Sports. Chowan » Defeats Kittrel By DONALD PATTEN What a week for the Braves as they lost to Ferrum 70-65 before a home crowd after being previously defeated by filter- shooting Kittrel CoUege 83-80. The Braves in all their games with Kittrel had come close to making victory very much a reaUty. It finaUy happened with the trio play of two of the finest guards in the league and as most would say, the most powerful center that has played in the conference. The anchor man for the trio was Harry FUpping who, for a night’s work, was able to set a con ference record withJO rebounds. He also scored a ripping 25 points. His two accompanists were Jackie Ross with 18 points to even out his average and Randy Michie with 23 which days tor breakfast. Mr. Karunungan asked if idastic gloves could be worn by those who work behind the ser ving counter. Mr. Sutton and Mr. Wilson explained that this was not feasible and was not required by health authorities. Mr. Jack Leatherwood reported that a number of students wanted rye bread. Several students reported that they had heard favorable remarks made by their associates concerning meals in Thomas Cafeteria. Mr. Sutton announced that the meeting of the Cafeteria Com mittee would be on Tuesday, February 2, 1971, and asked Mr. Karunungan to see that several freshmen were appointed to the Cafeteria Committee. Basketball LoosesS By DONALD PATTEN The end'6T tWf first SemeiSler brought an end to the Braves three big center men: Norman Roles, a 6’4” freshman who has seen limited game action due to various injuries; Wayne Davis a 6’5” and 190lbs. freshman starter at the onset of the season until benched, who returned to the lineup to muscle in 16 rebounds against Frederick Military; and Clifton Faison a 6’3”, 205 lb. sophomore who came off the bench to spark the Braves’ win over Southwood, following a three game lossing streak to Kittrel 83-80, ECU frosh 70-67, and Mt. Olive 90-78. The lost of the three indicates uncertainty as the Braves head into the final run of the season. Harry FUpping at the start of the season did it aU with the backing of the three, and their absence wiU place an even greater load on his shoulders. Flipping is a smaU gaint who towers a dragging 6’1”. The abUity of the Braves to continue their winning ways with the absence of the three men definitely does not speU a com plete disaster. The Braves continued their winning ways as they defeated SuUivan CoUege from Louisville,, 103-102 in the opening round of the Evans HoUday Tourney. The Braves lost the final game to Steed CoUege of Johnson City, Tenn. 114-95, as Flipping fouled out with only 3 points to his credit, far below his seasonal average. definitely did not disgrace his average. The game was a run away up until the last 11 minutes when Coach McOaw decided that a man to man defense was better than his famed zone coverage. So with 11 minutes to go and trailing by 11 points Chowan went to man to man coverage. With less than 5 minutes to go, the Braves cut the lead to 6 points as they saw the success of the man to man coverage take hold. The Braves, with 1:30 seconds to play, made six straight points on a basket by Ross and four free throws by Michie to go ahead 88- 82 before Kittrel reaUy realized what was going on. Kittrel in a late bounce failed to damage the final score as they made two baskets back to back and held Chowan to end up with an 88-86 defeat.
