Wrestling Team Faces Tough Schedule This year’s Braves wrestling team faces the toughest schedule since its beginning in 1970. The schedule includes 8 varsity matches with four year schools, 2 four JV’s and 2 prominent Maryland Junior Colleges. This schedule provides an opportunity to expand the wrestling program into a bonified sport at Chowan. “Many people have observed that the schedule is too tough for our athletes, but with the talent we had during pre-season we could have competed with any team on our schedule,” commented Coach Steve Nelson. Injuries and lack of dedication by some individuals have greatly reduced the teams potential for this year. Coach Nelson com ments that no less than six x)tential starters have dropped y the wayside in the first month of practice. This leaves Coach Nelson with a group of inex perienced competitors. “I did not Democrats from all over the state poured into the small town of Murfreesboro to attend a dinner and hear speeches by leading democrats. The key speaker was Bob Strauss from Texas who is the national Democratic Party chairman. Among the many party members in state government who spoke were Mr. Walter Jones, 1st District Congressman, Thad Eure who is North Carolina Secretary of State, North Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Jim Sugg, Rufus Edmundson and Frank Stephenson, Democratic can didate for Ueutnant Governor. Before Strauss began his speech Murfreesboro’s Mayor, Billy Hill presented Strauss with several gifts including a North Carolina Ham, peanuts and the key to the city. After this ceremony, Jim Sugg who is the State Democratic Party Chairman, introduced Mr. Strauss to the audience. Strauss opened his speech by saying that the nation as a whole and the Democratic party itself needed to develope a leadership based on ‘‘Common Sense.” In his discussion of the last Presidential election, Strauss commented that the “Republicans didn’t elect Richard Nixon, we Democrats did by our own irresponsibility and our own stupidity did it to ourselves and to the nation and the whole nation suffered from that.” He was of course referring to the split in the Democratic party at that time. In his pitch for party unity Strauss asked the audience if they thought the “Democratic Party and the nation could afford such destructive luxuries and indulgences again.” Strauss further commented that no, they (the Democratic Party) couldn’t afford the mistake of a divided party again. Strauss added more coal to the fire under the burning effigy of the Republican Party by stating that since “we democrats for feited the presidency in 1968, the country has gone down economically, emotionally and morally, for the people we turned the leadership over to simply haven’t led.” Strauss further commented that he would like to take some of the President’s advisors and cabinet members off Wall Street and lead them on a tour of America and let them see what the average middle class family is really going through as op- possed to their present theories. Strauss also displayed a great dislike for Secretary of Agriculture, Earl Butts. He told the audience the Butt’s farm policies have been “Disasterous” for the American farmer and the nation’s people as consumers of farm products. Judging the audience’s applause, his dislike of Butts is shared by many. In commenting on Gerald Ford’s recent veto of the Federal School Lunch program, he said he wished he could lend Ford into the nations schools for a close look at students who are doing poorly because “their bellies are empty.” Strauss further commented that he felt it was less of a sin to feed a few students whose families were in the $7,000 a year bracket than to starve students who were in the $4,000 a year income bracket. While speaking of the inef ficiency of the Republican leadership, Strauss commented that Gerald Ford was ‘ ‘basically a Art Professors Participate in Exhibit expect this many wrestlers to drop out, especially before second semester, but we still have a very hard working group of young men. We are dedicated to having a winning season, and if we get a couple of breaks we should have one.” The Braves starting team consists of: Mike Cook, 118 lb. class, David “Smiley” Lit tlefield, 126 lb. class, Lloyd Lee, 134 lb. class, Tim “Bo” James, 142 class, Stewart Philips 150 lb. class, Jaris Lanier 158 lb class, Kevin Dalton 167 lb. class, Marty Pilarski 177 lb class, Jimmy Toon 190 lb. class and Billy Davis HW.

Three Chowan College professors of art are exhibiting works in the Atlantic Christian College art gallery during November which has been labeled “Chowan Month” by the chairman of Atlantic Christian’s department of art. Craig Greene, director of the division of art within Chowan’s fine arts department, is represented by five painting, according to Edward Brown, chairman of Atlantic Christian’s art department. Also in the exhibit are a number of drawings and watercolors by David Parker and drawings and ceramics by Byron Corcoran, both Chowan art professors. “The divergence of Sociology Club Sponsors Christmas Drive The Sociology Club is spon soring a drive to raise money to provide Christmas for the needy in Murfreesboro.

Brown said in addition to the current Chowan exhibit, Doug Eubank, Chowan art professor on a year’s leave of absence, recently conducted a three-day ceramics workshop. “Because of his professionalism, the quality of his work and his talent for teaching, he generated considerable enthusiasm among our students, and we look for ward to a long and pleasant relationship with Doug and with all your faculty,” Brown stated. On the basis of the par ticipation of Chowan professors in ACC’s art program. Brown called November, “Chowan Month” in Atlantic Christian’s art department. “We are pleased to work with students who transfer to our department after two years at Chowan. For a junior college to attract over sixty art majors, it must have a good faculty and a good program, and the students that come from Chowan show good preparation in the sound fundamentals that we stress in our program,” Brown noted. nice man and a friend of his,” but felt Ford simply wasn’t equipped to be president. Strauss did feel that Ford could spend more of his time at least trying to lead the country. Strauss pointed out that in recent months Ford had spent over 50 percent of his time on the road campaigning for the presidential candidency. “The American people are tired of this kind of conduct,” said Strauss. He further commented that the “American people want straight answers, and candid approaches to their problems and the honesty to say when they were wrong.” Strauss closed his speech with a plea for the people of this country to work together to put meaning back into the phrase “We the People.” Walter Jones made the closing remarks, and injected a little humor by commenting that there were 168,000 registered Democrates in the first District and 21,000 misguided and unin formed people registered as Republicans. Progress Report For Chowanoica By Nancy Sullivan In an interview with Jerry Rector, Yearbook Editor, several points of interest to the student body have been revealed, such as regulations concerning the sale of pictures, a special section in the yearbook and writers for the yearbook. The first is concerned with the purchase of pictures taken by the yearbook staff. Rules set by the college will not allow pictures to be sold. The second is concerned with a special section that will be added to the Chowanoka. This section will displayed candids and artwork done by the students around campus. The pictures submitted must be in black and white, and the size should be at least 5 X 7 or larger. They should also have a caption and the name of the photographer. The deadline for these pictures will be February 20, 1975. The pictures can be left with Mrs. Marks in the Graphic Arts Building. The pictures used will be chosen by the Publications Committee. In the past years the majority of the copy within the yearbook has been written entirely by the staff. This year the students have the opportunity of submitting stories about activities, events, or people that -would interest the student body. Students that are interested in writing for the yearbook may contact Jerry Rector Thursday, December 11, 1975, between 6:00-9:00 p.m. in room 202 in Daniel Hall. The yearbook staff has made a lot of forward movement concerning the Chowanoka. The staff has had the approval of the Publications Committee about the theme of the yearbook, which can not be revealed until Honors Day next May.

There is a lot of work to be done, but work is still going on and progress is being made. English Honors Course Offered In cooperation with Phi Theta Kappa, the English Department is offering an Honors course studying seven works by America’s great southern novelist, William Faulkner. The course, offering three (elective) credit hours, is open to any student with a B average or better. It will meet once every two weeks to take up one of the seven novels (that allows two weeks per novel). Phi Theta Kappa students have the additional possibility of attending a Faulkner Institute at Ole Miss in Ox ford, Mississippi, where they can tromp through and around Faulkner’s home and relics, and talk with Faulkner scholars. Attending the Institute would allow PTK students to earn their three hours of credit from the University of Mississippi. If you want more information, see either Mr. Simmons (sponsor of Phi Theta Kappa) or Mr. Wolfskill.

One catalog now holds all the cards which identify a book by its author and its title. The other catalog serves as a subject catalog for the collection. Guides have been placed on the top of each catalog to designate exactly which catalog is an author-title catalog and which one serves as a subject catalog. ’Also, labels are placed on each individual drawer in both catalogs for further help. Therefore, if you wish a book in the Library and you know either the author or the title, then check the author-title catalog. However, if you want books concerning a specific subject, then you will need to check the subject catalog. Further assistance is available if yoii encounter any problems with the use of the new system. The catalog was divided for several reasons. First, a divided catalog is easier and quicker to use. Normally, a student will request a specific book or a specific subject. With two separate catalogs, fewer cards will need to be checked. Secon dly, the arrangement in the drawers will be less confusing, no longer will students have to worry about bothersome idiosyncrasies of the card arrangement. Finally, a divided catalog with author-title cards in one catalog and subject cards in another catolog will make the maintenance of the catalogs less timeconsuming for the Ubrary staff. Please consult Mr. Coggins if you have any questions regarding the new arrangment.
