Smoke Signals, Wednesday, January 31, 1973—Page 13 Professor Cohen Receives Award From Book Club Barry Mendel Cohen, professor of social science at Chowan, received an award from the University of Texas Book Club while on leave of absence during the 1971-72 academic year. Cohen, who has returned to Chowan, was a graduate student in Russian studies at the University of Texas at Austin. He received the Ray S. Walton first prize at the annual awards presentation of the University of Texas Book Club and the Humanities Research Center. His collection consisted of books in Russian and English concerning the Russian genetics con troversy. The outstanding item of the collection is an autographed copy of “Works During the Great Fatherland War” by Trofim D. Lysenko, the amin figure in the genetics controversy. This book was a gift to Cohen from Sir Eric Ashby, president of Clare College, Cambridge. Csonka Named Most Beautiful Csonka will receive his tro phy today from the Miami- based Bryna Cosmetic Co. MIAMI (AP) — Larry Csonka of the Miami Dolphins has been voted the most beau tiful player in the National Football League. Usually, the firm gives its trophy to one of its female con sultants. But, this year, em ployes of the company voted unanimously to give the award to Csonka, who has broken his nose 10 times in his football ca- Ministerial Alliance Will Hold 'Rap Centers' Again REFUSES TO FLY MISSION- U.S. Air Force Capt. Micael J. Heck, 30, above, of Chula Vista, Calif., said that he balked at flying B52 missions over North Vietnam because “ the goals do not justify the mass destruction and killing.” Bill to Ban Giving Animals As Prizes ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - State Sen. Nicholas Ferraro, D- Queens, has reintroduced legis lation to ban using dogs or cats as prizes in drawings and other contests. Ferraro submitted the bill last year, but it died in com mittee. He said puppies and kittens often are offered as prizes in carnival sideshows and similar attractions. “A lot of these ani mals are just terribly brutal ized,” he said. “Often they’re given to someone who doesn’t really want them or doesn’t know how to care for them.” Feeling that many of their fellow students would like to have a place on campus to which they could go to discuss problems, concerns, gripes, etc., with an interested and concerned student, the Ministerial Alliance of Chowan College will resume the operation of the R“Rap Center” on Monday, February 8. The Center is located in Room 14 on the ground floor of Whitaker Library. Center “HOURS" WILL BE MAINTAINED, WITH IN DIVIDUAL MEMBERS OF THE Alliance responsible for par ticular hours each week. A schedule will be posted on the Center door. Chaplain Taylor, advisor to the Ministerial Alliance, has drawn up the following guidelines for the members of the Alliance who will be operating the Rap Center. They are reproduced here—along with a tentative schedule of Center hours—in order that the campus community may be aware of them. 1. Be present in the Center at the time(s) you are responsible for its operation. If you cannot be present during the hours assigned you, let Chaplain Taylor know this in advance, if possible. If an emergency arises— necessitating your leaving the Center for an extended time— leave a note on the door in dicating the time you expect to return. 2. It is imperative that there be no excessive noise or commotion in the Center, or in the hallway outside!! You are located near faculty offices where a quiet atmosphere must prevail. & 3. Most students who come by the Center will not have serious problems to discuss, but only be looking for a “sounding board” for their ideas, pet gripes, etc. Some students will want to discuss personal problems of a really serious nature. In either case, those operating the Rap Center must observe the following: a. Keep no records of in dividual conversations, unless the person with whom you talk indicates that he would like to be referred to someone else. In this case, merely note the general nature of his problem or concern, and pass this information on to Chaplain Taylor for referral. b. Be sure to keep any con fidence with which you are en trusted! Don’t discuss with others—including your fellow Alliance members—those con cerns which are brought to you by persons coming to the Rap Center. If a student brings a problem to you which—in your opinion—needs attention beyond what you are equipped to give, suggest that he talk with Chaplain Taylor; or, ask if you may bring the matter to the at tention of the Chaplain. In any case where you are uncertain about what to do, bring the matter to the attention of Chaplain Taylor. c. Just as you are not to discuss specific cases with your fellow students, you must not do so with faculty-staff personnel, except Chaplain Taylor as in dicated above. 4. The Rap Center must not become a convenient place for bull sessions. 5. The Center is not to be in use prior to 8:00 a.m. nor later than 6:00p.m., Monday-Friday. Got a problem? complaint? concern? ’See you in the Rap Center. Drinkers Get Banking Break BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Drinkers who overestimate the size of their checking accounts would be protected from crimi nal prosecution under a bill being considered by a com mittee of the North Dakota Legislature. The bill, introduced at the re quest of the states attorneys as sociation, is sponsored by fresh man Rep. Dean Winkjer of Williston. All rights to collect on a bad check through civil action would remain intact, he added. “As I understand it, the asso ciation feels that a check that has been issued to a bar by a man who has had a couple of drinks should not be held as criminal because of insufficient funds in the account,” Winkjer said. PARIS (AP) — Vo Nguyen Giap, North Vietnam’s defense minister, says reports of his death during U.S. bombing raids on Haiphong last month are greatly exaggerated. “As you can see, I am alive and well,” Giap said during a filmed interview shown on French television Monday. Emergency Meeting Held By PBS Group DRIVING COUGAR- Dennis Wuycik of the Carolina Cougars drives past John Baum of the New York Mets in game at Greensboro Coliseum. By JAY SHARBUTT AP Television Writer NEW YORK (AP) — The board of the ^blic Broad casting Service is holding an emergency meeting next week to weigh support for a nation wide public television hookup — financed without federal funds. The idea stems from last week’s resolution by the presi- dentially appointed board of the Corporation for Public Broad casting to take over programm ing decisions formerly made in large part by PBS. In the past years, CPB, created by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, mainly served to pass on congressional appropriations to PBS while rarely rejecting its national program recom mendations. The corporation now is as serting its decision-making power in the wake of com plaints by the White House and some congressmen concerning the objectivity and balance of some PBS public-affairs pro grams. PBS officials, who say they fear the corporation may b^ come increasingly less respon sive to the requests of public television stations, now are moving to see if there are ways to exist without federal funds. PBS currently is asking offi cials at the nation’s 233 public television stations if they ap prove of PBS plans to study “alternative means of funding a national interconnection which would be directly con trolled by the stations.” PBS officials say this would be a nationwide public television hookup financed by other than federal funds — money from foundations, pri vate and public contributions and so forth. They say it would permit the broadcasting of some public-af fairs shows and other programs — paid for without federal funds — on a system that isn’t financed by the federal tax dol lars now provided by CPB. If that l)ecomes the case, would PBS still need the ap proval of the parent corpo ration for the shows? Robert F. Shenkkan, board chairman of PBS, doesn’t think so. “I don’t think it would be a concern of the corporation since it would not involve their money,” said Shenkkan, head of KLRN-TV, a public television station in Austin, Tex. The full 19-member PBS board will see what support it has for its new network propos al when it meets Jan. 24 in San Diego, Calif. My Neiflibors
