Everyone likes a “fir st.” Currently, the first Vice President of the United States to be picked by a President and confirmed by Congress is in the offing as provided by Section 2 of Amendment XXV (rf the United States Constitution which was ratified February 10, 1967. Section 2 of the Amendment reads: Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take the office upon con firmation by a majority vote of both houses of Congress. This reality results from the resignation of former Vice President Spiro Agnew on Wednesday, October 10, 1973. The only other Vice President to resign was John C. Calhoun who resigned the post December 28, 1832. Calhoun had been chosen by the South Carolina legislature on December 12,1832, to serve in the Music Program Presented for Wilson Club Professor Robert Mulder and freshman Jason Cowan recently (H-esented a musical program for the Wilson Kiwanis Qub. The invitation was extended to Mulder by Russell Stephenson, Chowan College trustee and officer of the club. Following a dinner in the Cherry Hotel, the Chowan duo presented entertainment in the hotel ballroom. Other special guests of the club included members of the Key Club at Atlantic Christian College. Mulder played a series of show tunes including themes from the movies “Love Story,” “The Godfather,” and “Summer of ’42.” Approjriate poems to in troduce each selection were quoted by Mulder who is now entering his ninth year as professor of English at Chowan. Cowan, a freshman at Chowan, is from Virginia Beach. His portion of the program included vocal selections in which he accompanied himself on the guitar. Several of his selections included harmonica solos. By using a metal frame designed for holding the harmonica, Cowan was able to accompany himself and provide an unusual musical feat for his audience. Among his selections were “Country Road” and “Heart of Gold.” Mulder closed the program with a medly of ragtime piano favorites. Both musicians are actively engaged in extra-curricular events on campus. Cowan recently played for the St. Barnabas PURGATORY, and Mulder so'ves as chapel organist and sponsor for the Chowan Motor Sports Club. United States Senate. He had not been chosen as President Andrew Jackson’s running mate for Jackson’s second term. Being a “lame-duck” Vice President, Calhoun resigned from the Vice Presidential post to assume his Senate seat. Since Mr. Agnew’s resignation followed his entering a plea of NOLO CONTENDERE to the charges leveled against him in federal court, cir- ctmistances surrounding the two resignations are very dissimilar. The parts of the Twenty-fifth Amendment which seem more dramatic are the two sections relevant to presidential (fisability. The short sections concerning the Vice President appear almost an addendum. It is interesting that only six years after its addition to the Con stitution that this particular part of the Twenty-fifth Amendment would be the first section to be implemented. Not having a format to follow. Congressional leaders are blazing new political trails and establishing precedents for future generations. It seems the confirmation of the Vice President designate, Gerald R. Ford, will be handled by the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives and the Senate Rules Committee-both having staked out claims thereto. Public hearings will be held by the two committees, but no real problem is anticipated in securing confirmation. President Nixon accomplished a political coup of sorts in choosing a member of Congress to fill the vacancy. “His appointment is a olive branch to the Congress,” says Democratic Rep. Thomas Foley of Washington State. “Depending on how much of an ear the President gives him. Ford can be of great assistance in softening the pugnacious attitude in the White House toward the Congress.” This widely held congressional view exists despite Mr. Ford’s record as a tireless advocate of any and all Nixon causes (probably a major reason the IVesident picked him to succeed Agnew). Mr. Ford is the sort of partisan who manages to maintain excellent personal relationships with political op ponents. In his 25 years in the House, he has established a wide network of friendships with members of both parties. TV Shows NEW YORK (AP) — The ABC Television network tonight is putting on a fairly good cops and robbers show in a new ef fort to lure viewers away from NBC’s “FUp WUson” and CBS’ “The Waltons” shows. The epic is “Toma,” a new series based on the life of Dave Toma, a Newark, N.J., under cover cop widely known for his disguises. The ^ow won’t bowl you over, but it’s a professional piece of entertainment. Gilyard Leods Braves To Homecoming Victory TELLS IT ALL—The banner displayed by residents of Mixon Hall revealed the story for the Chowan Braves when they met the Bobcats of Lees-McRoe for the annual Homecoming football classic. The Braves handed Lees-McRoe their first defeat of the season. Two interceptions by Daryl Gilyard, who played at Grimsley High School last year, helped Chowan College upset previously undefeated Lees-McRae Saturday, October 13, 21-14, in Murfreesboro. Gilyard thrilled a Braves’ homecoming crowd midway in the second period when he stole a pass on the sidelines and weaved his way through most of the Lees- McRae offense for a 75-yard touchdown. This was the turning point of the game. The run snapped a 7-7 tie and provided Chowan with a 14-7 halftime lead. Lees-McRae tied it in the third period before the Braves generated their final touchdown march with quarterback Martin Page covering the final two yards with 7:07 remaining. The Bobcats last bid to tie or win and preserve their ranking as the nation’s seventh best junior college club was snuffed out by Gilyard when he intercepted for the second time with 90 seconds left. Ironically, this was Gilyard’s first start of the season and came as a result of a change of the defensive pattern by Head Coach Jim Garrison. Instead of playing three linebackers as he had in the first five games. Garrison in stalled a fourth, and the call went to the top reserve at the position, Gilyard. His response was a major factor behond Chowan’s fourth win of the season against two defeats. The Coastal Con ference victory lifted the Braves into first place with a 3-1 mark. Chowan College struck like lightning for a safety and two bombs from quarterback Martin Page to flanker Don Estes for an early 16-0 lead and the Braves continued to a 29-13 defeat of the East Carolin University Jayvees Saturday night October 20, at home. Chowan’s safety came after three minutes of play when a snap from center sailed into the endzone on a punt attempt. The Braves led 2-0, just as they did in the first game after a safety. In that game, played September 27 in Greenville, Chowan, after a scoreless first half, scored 22 points after intermission for a 22- 6 win. This time, Chowan scored forged a 22-0 first half win and then held off a fourth quarter Baby Pirate rally when the visitors scored both touchdowns, afzr the Braves had a com fortable 29-point bulge. Chowan’s first two touchdowns were the result of 24 and 32-yard passes from Page to Estes, who received them on opposite sidelines in the endzone. Junior Creech kicked the extra points for the 16-0 lead. Chowan scored again with 3:39 left in the second quarter when tailback David Green burst through a gaping hole provided by the offensive Une for a 24-yard romp. The touchdown came on the first play after a 22-yard interception return by defensive back Robert Tripp. Tripp made a second interception in the second half and the Braves’ backs stole four in all Clyde Johnson and Barry Banton adding one each. Chowan made it 29-0 early in the fourth period on a three-yard run by fullback Richard Holmes. The big play during the 77-yard drive was a 45-yard pass from Page to Connie Tripp. Holmes also contributed a run of 24 yards. ECU scored twice in the last stanza on one-yard runs by quarterback Mike Weaver following marches of 55 and 26 yards. Green had an outstanding night for the Braves gaining 123 yards on just 16 carries. Holmes added 55 on 10 tries.
