Chowan Football comments: “The team pulled together as one and gave it 100 percent. There were no in- '^viduals, no super stars and this togHh^ess pulled us through many games. I think the^Ofiuhg point of the season w^^hen we beat Lees McRaejHia it was a big highlight wJiBff^e were able to comgbadfafter our losses with IS.” We want to wish all the sophomore football athletes good luck in the years to come not just athletically but in all walks of life. Out of a team which had no super stars and everyone played together to make the season a successful one, the sophomores helped formed the nucleas and gave leadership. They will surely be missed next season but they will go on to make their mark at other places, and it is up to the oncoming sojAomores to take up where these Braves have left off.

Some of Tom’s hobbies are his Van, soccer, and of course, Parker Hall. When asked about the students of Chowan, he replied: “For the student body as a whole they are ready for changes but are not apparently willing to make the appropriate moves to achieve the changes. As for those whom I am directly responsible to and for, Parker Hall, they are fraternally together which I think is necessary for them to live together.” Tom feels that the rules are like the rules at many major universities or even cities, although many are not as restrictive. “The rules will not bother you unless you break them first.” When Tom was asked, what he likes best about Chowan he •eplied: “Chowan is small and sonal, but it lacks the large ;e atmosphere, because all theVt^ents go home on weekends due\p^e lack of things to do.” As fo\ u\campus, he feels that it looks kooT "Chowan Today" to Be Televised A Norfolk television station has given Chowan College a helping hand with its five-minute weekly radio program, “Chowan Today.” The taped program, which features interviews of faculty and staff members and Chowan students, is aired as public service broadcasting on 10 stations, eight in North Carolina and two in Virginia. The program was hampered when a “bug” developed in the Ampex 601 tape recorder, purchased by the college some 10 years ago, used for the master tapes. Chowan’s college relations director, Phil Royce, contacted L. W. Kliewer, vice president for operations of WVEC-TV, Channel 13, in Norfolk. He volunteered the services of the station in repairing the machine. The tape recorder was repaired without charge under the direction of George Hillier, WVEC’s chief engineer. Both the labor and replacement parts were donated to the college as a public service. Chowan’s engineer for the programs. Dr. James Chamblee, chairman of the fine arts department, reports not only is the hum, that marred some of the previous tapes, missing, but the machine is operating “like new.” Royce thanked Kliewer, Hillier and the management of WVEC- TV for their “interest in Chowan and expression of support.
