Austin's 35 Not Enough
Chowan Stops Sandhills
In Last Game, 75-73
By Donald Patton
Chowan trymg to improve their
12-12 record was able to do just
that by defeating the Spartans of
Sandhills Community College 75-
73 despite a brilliant effort on the
part Bill Austin who got 35 points.
The Spartans defeated by the
Braves at the start of the seasons
wanted only to improve their 8-16
record and the way the game
started i it appeared they would
do just that.
Austin, with his fantastic inside
and outside shooting put the
Spartans out 7-3 to be followed by
Luikart with a four point play
which gave them an 11-6 lead.
The Braves on the trio play of
Bostain, Ross euid Flipping came
to within six of the Spartans as all
three hit respectively to make it
18-12. The Spartans with some
shocking steals mid way through
the first half was very reluctant
to let the Braves really get into
the ballgame as they increased it
28-21. Brigman entering the game
as a replacement popped to cut
the Spartans lead to 28-14 to be
followed by Austin with a jumper
which made it 30-24. Flipping
teaming with Bostain cut the lead
to two at 32-30. The Spartans were
now running for cover as the
Braves continued to pour on the
coal with Flipping scoring back
to back once on a trip and again
on a jumper to be followed by
Ross who added two after
shooting 1-1 from the free throw
line to tie it up 36-36 with 1:56
remaining in the half.
The game then turned into a
shooting contest as Brigman
refused to let Austin out shoot
him and the half ended with
Bostain trying to break the tie on
a jumper which failed and left the
score locked up 40-40.
With Thompson charging out of
the dressing room and scoring
back to back the Spartans could
do nothing but smile as they took
Wednesday Dress
Rules Abolished
The Cafeteria Commitee and the Clothing and Etiquete
Committee have voted unanimously In favor of the elimination
of the present Wednesday night dress code. This policy means
that students are no longer required to dress formally for
Wednesday night dinners in Thomas Cafeteria.
Both committees, made up of students, faculty, and ad
ministrative personnel were of the opinion that Wednesday
night dress w/as unnecessary due to the relaxed atmosphere that
is prevalent on Wednesday nights In the cafeteria. When the rule
w/as originated the atmosphere was spiced with candles and
tablecloths. Now it Is treated just as every other night so the rule
was viewed as outdated.
According to the Dean of Students, this does not include the
Sunday lunch dress. Students are still required to dress formally
for Sunday lunch.
The penalty for not heeding the Sunday lunch dress rules will
be two call downs as usual.

a 46-42 lead. Smiling was surely
not the word to describe the facial
expressions of the Spartans after
Bostain with a three point play
cut the lead to one at 46-45.
The Spartans didn’t know
whether to cry or die as the
Braves took a six point lead on
the masterful rebounding and
shooting of Bostain, and Flipping
as the score read 54-48. The game
took on a new look as the Spar
tans found themselves playing
catch up ball with the action
moving into the final stage.
Flipping could hardly slow down
as he electrified the crowd with
his steals and slapping layup to
increase the score to 60-53.
The lead was cut on some well
guided shots by Austin who
figured the Braves not as good as
they thought they were to 61-58.
Austin now took on the role of the
villan as he stole the ball and
scored back to back to give the
Spartans a 62-61 lead with 7:36
showing. The Spartans being
very aggressive held their lead
until Michie fired back to back to
give the Braves 68-65 lead to be
trailed by Flipping with four
which made it 72-68. Flipping
with 1:09 to go was called for
traveling which gave the Spar
tans the ball or rather Raynor
who scored with 24 seconds
remaining to bring the Spartans
to within two of the Braves 75-73.
Raynor later fouled Michie who
failed to score hence the Spartans
got the ball and called time out
with 14 seconds to go. The crowd
began to relax for they were
certain the Spartans would score
and the action would continue in
an' over time battle but as it
happened Austin trying for the
jumper with two seconds left saw
the ball flying in the opposite
direction after Flipping knocked
the ball straight to oblivion.
The final score was 75-73 with
Austin getting 35 for the loser to
be followed by Flipping with 28.
Spartans in double figures was
Luikart with 17. The Braves in
doubles were Bostain with 15 and
Ross with 16. Luikart with 17 was
the only other Spartan in double
figures.
Filipping’s jumper from the
side gave the Braves the lead for
the first time to open the second
half. The sophomore’s com
bination of hooks, long one-hand
jumpers from the side and
graceful baskets under the board
continuously drew the applause
of the mostly impartial and small
crowd.
At the same time, forward Ray
Brigman launched a shooting
spree making six of seven, the
majority long shots from the side.
The result was a nip and tuck
affair as Kittrell used a balanced
attack to keep even. Chowan
moved ahead by three with eight
minutes left but Kittrell regained
the lead five minutes later, 69-68,
and never again trailed.
With 1:31 on the clock, Kittrell
led, 75-72, but Chowan was still in
the game as Brigman made a foul
shot. Then disaster struck as
Chowan, on the attack, turned the
ball over to Kittrell and guard
Willie Smith drove in for an easy
layup. Chowan had 10 seconds to
make two baskets to tie but could
manage only one, a short jumper
by Ross with two seconds
remaining.
The win earned Kittrell the
“privilege” of playing Ferrum in
a semifinal game. The Panthers,
undefeated in regular season
action, advanced by downing

FIVE ATTEND
MISSION CONFERENCE
“Pioneering the Human Task,”
was the theme explored by five
Chowan BSUers who —along with
some 200 other collegians from
the southeastern United States—
participated in the annual
Conference on Mission and
Ministry, held at Southeastern
Baptist Seminary, February 12-
14.
Keynote speaker for the
Conference was Dr. Gabrield
Fackre, Porofessor of Theology,
Andover- Newton Thelogical
School, Newton Center, Mass.
One participant from Chowan
described the event as a time of
“high spiritual inspiration” for
everyone. “Doubtless,” she
added, “the world mission left in
all of us an indescribable anxiety
to do something on behalf of the
millions of people who are
waiting for your help and mine.”
Then she added the clincher:
“Are you aware of the students in
your dorm who need your help?”

'The Casket' Was
Chowan Publication
AND ADMINISTRATION—Jerry Wilson
gose up for two points when the faculty-administration
played Third Floor West in intramural sports.
In 1854 the students at Chowan
College, then known as the
Chowan Female Institute,
published the second and last
volume of THE CASKET, a
literary journal. The first one
appeared in 1853.
Thanks to the interest of Mrs.
Jessie Moose of the library staff
and the generosity of a Jackson
resident, Chowan’s library now
possesses a copy of THE
CASKET, dated March, 1854.
The prized publication was
donated by Miss Rebecca C.
Long. It originally belonged to
her grandmother, Rebecca
Moore Gatling, a student who
delivered the commencement
address July 26, 1854. A copy of
the commencement program was
also donated by Miss Long as well
as a copy of the program for a
concert in 1884.
Mrs. Moose learned about the
existence of the copy when Miss
Long volunteered the information
during a discussion in a creative
writing class at Chowan taught
by Mrs. Bernice Kelly. Mrs.
Moose immediately approached
Miss Long and asked if she could
have it for the library. Without
hesitating, Miss Long replied in
the affirmative.
A copy of the 1853 edition,
Volume I, is housed in the North
Carolina Room at the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill,
Benjamin W. Bontemps,
Chowan’s librarian explained.
“We hope to find a copy of it,”
he said. Bontemps commented he
was very happy the 1854 journal
had been donated to the library
and thanked Miss Long for her
contribution. He also praised
Mrs. Moose for her initiative and
“sense of history.”
Bontemps noted the library is
“trying to assemble items of
historical interest to Chowan
College in bits and pieces before
they are lost.” They are
displayed in the Antiquities
Room on the second floor.
He believes a search attics and
belongings of individuals in the
area would turn up additional old
materials relative to Chowan’s
early history.
Mrs. Moose states she is going
to make a concentrated effort to
discover an 1853 copy of THE
CASKET. And when she soes?
“I’ll ask that the owner donate it
to Chowan’s library,” she
remarked.
Bontemps explained that the
1854 literary periodical is dated in
more ways than one. “The word
casket in those days, as used for
the title, referred to a jeweled
box used to store valuables. Thus
the title could be translated, A
little treasure chest of literary
gems,” he reported.
Included among its 24 pages
are articles by the students on
such subjects as “Woman,”
“Fashion,” “My Southern
Home,” “Evidences of
Christianity,” “Home Scenes,”
“Contentment,” “The Im
portance of a Well Regualted
Imagination,” and “Love -
Human and Divine.”
One was entitled intriguingly,
“Women and Mathematics.” And
another, which could summarize
today’s scene, was called, sim
ply, “Change.”
The theme for the collection, as
printed on the front of the
yellowed, but well-preserved
journal, was: “Wisdom is better
than rubies.”
