Girls' Volleyball Team Holds Fantastic Record On Thursday, October 24, Miss Anna Belle Crouch’s speech and diction classes were entertained by speakers from two colleges. The first speaker, Thomas Bever of the University of North Carolina, declared that a depression, similar to the “Great Depression” of the early 1930’s, was about to occur in the nation today. Mr. Bever presented distinct examples involving matters in the downfall of business investment, bank loans, new construction, the stock market, and gross national product; and the enlarging of unemployment. He also showed illustrations of proposed economic programs and ex plained President Ford’s Ek;onomic Program. The second orator. Miss Pat Simmons of the University of North Carolina, delivered a persuasive talk on the need to maintain black colleges, ^e gave statistics of black education from the years of 1619 to the present day. Miss Simmons pointed out that black colleges reached out to students who would otherwise have been un touched and uneducated. She is against the proposal of the HEW to replace 30 percent of all black schools with white students. Her reason for this is majorly a psychological one reflecting respect and self identity. Other reasons included ethics, records and analizations of black ex perience. The last, but certainly not least was Roger Hamric, also of the University of North Carolina. Roger emphasized the need for a United Nations in which every country considered other countries as a brother and not a kind. There would not be such a feeling as my nation is number one, instead the whole human race should be number one and should work for the better of all others. Each country should have equal voting power. This way conflicts could be settled. After each speech a survey on the subject and bow one felt about the speaker’s presentation was completed by each student. By LU BLIZZARD This year the Chowan College girl’s volleyball team has started their season with a fantastic record for varsity and not so fantastic tor the J.V. girls. The first match was October the third at Louisburg College, where the Lady Braves revealed their winning talents. The varsity smashed the Louisburg varsity in two games with 15-0 and 16-14 scores. Starting on the team were: Sue Habburd, Sue Hamlin, Libby Kanipe, Roxy Warner, Lisa Dabney, and Donna Ashley. In the first game, Hubbard rocked Louisburg with fourteen straight serves. In the second game Louisburg began to score. However, good team work and hustling brought the Chowan girls out on top again. Dabney and Warner fired several spikes on the opponent. In the J-V. match the game scores were close with 12-15, 15- 11, and 14-15, Louisburg the victor. Starting for the Braves were; Sandra Hardison, Anne Gordon, Terry Jeanette, Lu Blizzard, Mary Gooch, and Becky Houston, with Jane Holcomb and Cathy Challanor as substitutes. In the next game against Atlantic Christian College, on Smoke Signals. Wednesday, November 5. 1974 — PAGE 7 Braves Ice Hudson-Valley By MORGAN DICKERMAN With the Braves leading 9-7 in the last quarter Hudson-Valley had three chances to go into the lead on their first meeting ever on October 19, but the Chowan defence held the New York team and the Braves offense came in to ice the victory on a 19 yard run by freshman quarterback Jeff Dean from Elon, N. C. When I say they iced the game that is exactly what they did as the game was played in a cold, cold 28 degrees. Both offensenses ran the ball 43 times apiece with Chowan gaining 2M yards to 86 yards for Hudson. Chowans defense was led by sophmore linebacker Darryl Gilyard of Greensboro, N.C. with 14 unassisted tackles and 7 assists, and freshman tackle Randy Michaelsen of Virginia Beach had nine tackles with foiu" assists. The offense was led by sophmore fullback Waddell White head of Tarboro who picked up 126 yards in 16 carries and Dean had 46 yards in 11 carries. Barrow caught three passes for 63 yards and one score. This made the Braves 5-1 on the season with their only loss coming to conference for Ferrum College. Science Club Sponsors Paper Drive By PHIL ROYCE Recycling paper to aid the economy and conserve the country’s natural resources is the goal of a newspaper drive sponsored by the Chowan College &ience Club. The 25 members are collecting paper, preferably newsprint, according to Professor Gibert Tripp, club sponsor. He said the bundles should be approximately eight inches in height and bound securely. The bundles may be left at the base of the stairwells at either end of Carrie Savage Camp Hall on Chowan’s campus. They will be stored in the building and transported periodically by Science Club members to a reclamation center in Roanoke Rapids. “This project is in line with President Ford’s call for recycling and conservation of our natural resources,” Tripp ex plained. “The students are eager to be of assistance. They would appreciate the assistance of interested citizens.” Science Club interest in recycling was evident on the club’s entry in the Oct. 5 homecoming parade. The club’s theme was “Misplaced Natural Resources.” Chowan students will also benefit directly from the project. “The Science Club will use proceeds from the project for the purchase of needed equipment for the science laboratories”, Tripp stated. October 7, the Braves found themselves faced by new techniques. However, they showed their skill by quickly adapting and winning Uie varsi^ match with scores of 17-14 and 16- 14. The team effectively used spikes, sets, and bumps to overcome ACC. The J.V. team again fell to the opposition with 2- 15 and 4-15 scores. On October 10, the team traveled to play N.C. Wesleyan, where they won once more successfully with 15-5 and 15 varsity scores. Spikes, sets, and bumps were all used skillfully and the team worked well together in the games. In the J.V. game the match went the other way and N.C. Wesleyan won with 10-15 and 9-15. Nevertheless, the team showed sjnrit and good teamwork.
