Workers Phi Theta Kappa Attends t Regional Convention By BETSYGUEDRI The Phi Theta Kappa regional convention for the North - South Carolina Region was held by Wayne Community College in Goldsboro, N.C., February 20-22.

The Regional President, Debbie Walker of Wayne Com munity College, called the con vention to order and the I President of Wayne Community College welcomed everyone. | Various committees were formed for business sessions and there were movies and seminars for entertainment. The regional constitution was revised to be up to date and several tentative amendments to the constitution were voted on. The highlights of the convention were a dance held Friday night, a pig picking Saturday afternoon, an evening with Jimmy Faulkner (William Faulkner’s nephew) Saturday night and a musical performed by Wayne Community College later that night. Besides offering a lot of fun and fellowship between PHI THETA KAPPA chapters from different schools, the Regional Convention also encourages interest and participation in the National level of PHI THETA KAPPA. At the convention Chowan College was elected to hold the regional Phi Theta Kappa office of Vice President for next year and will possibly hold the Regional Phi Theta Kappa leadership con ference on campus next fall. may also pick up from Mr. Nelson recreational equipment, such as basketballs. 7.

Pending our meeting with area law enforcement people, it is hoped that these people will assist us in dealing with non-students and unauthorized people. 8. Any person, student or non student, who enters the gym without authority once the gym has been secured will be con sidered as having broken in and the assistance of local law in- forcement officials wil be sought. Steve INevvton Smoke Signals, Wednesday, March 10, 1976— PAGE 3 Basketball Team Moves To Playoffs By Defeating Sandhills Improvements Discussed on Campus Robert Walker brought up the fact that most of the dor mitories on campus do not have adequate fire prevention equipment. The SGA has con tacted the Hertford County Fire Marshall and found that it is not the county’s responsibility to inspect private schools for fire hazards. Private schools are inspected by the insurance company. The SGA would like to take steps toward correcting this situation. The group also discussed the administrations move to make a student remove a casket from his room. The group’s opinion was that the student should be allowed to have it in his room, unless his roomate objected. It was reported that Mr. Vann of Housing told the boy to remove the casket without giving him any reason for this move. Mr. Mulder agreed with the group’s feeling that the administration was wrong to pass judgement without giving any reason for this action. The discussion ended at this point. Steve Gegg, Social Co- chairman, reviewed the up coming social events. The En tertainment Committee met earlier in the week. Rich Brown reported that the idea had been brought up to have several small bands play for about six hours or so, instead of having one big concert. This way there could be music provided for everyone’s taste. This matter will be taken up at the next regular meeting of the Entertainment Committee. Dave Leber reported on the petitions that were submitted by the Campus Improvement Committee and approved by the Student Legislature. Leber stressed his point that the pur pose of these petitions was to show that the Student Legislature had the backing of the student body on these proposals. He also stressed the fact that petitions were supposed to be a step to follow in order that the SGA could make changes in the college. The support of these petitions was as follows; (1) Allowing cooking utensils in dorms, 506. (2) Allowing weights in dorms, 475. (3) The purchase of a weight machine, These signatures show that over one-half of the college supports all three of the proposals that have been made. The rest of the meeting was open to a question-answer period in which the students asked the administration representatives questions that they felt needed answers. The meeting was at tended by administration representatives, student representatives of the SGA, and a number of concerned students of the college. The first question presented was concerning the possibility of SGA Events Thursday March 11, 7:30 and 9:30 Westworld Wednesday March 24, 8:30 to 12:30 Dance Thursday March 2S, Movie "Airport ’75” Saturday March 27, 7:00 Kelly’s Heroes the college obtaining a weight machine for the atheletic department. Dean Lewis responded by saying that if we wanted a weight machine the money would have to come from SGA funds. Joe Higgenbotham brought up the fact that all of the students pay an atheletic fee in their tuition. Therefore, shouldn’t the students have some say in where this money is spent? The response was that this fee sup- por^d the college teams and provided the students free ad missions to all atheletic events. Rich Brown brought up the idea of acquiring donations for the weight machine. Dean Lowe explained to the group the stipulations that are placed on donations to the college. Mr. Ben Sutton explained that all donations are made in the name of the college and that the donor usually does not specify where the money is to be spent. Jim Dale then asked if there would be any opposition to the SGA printing the petition in the “Smoke Signals.” Dean Lowe’s reply was that it could not hurt because the main problem was getting the money. Mr. Mulder explained that Coach Garrison makes the decision as to where the money in the Atheletic Budget is spent. Robert Walker brought up the question that this money is put into a general fund to be used by the college each year. Sutton also explained that the students of the college pay only 81 percent of what it takes to run the college and that the other 19 percent must be raised each year. Rich Brown asked again why the students have no say as to where the money goes. Dean Lewis explained that the students have their say by participating in the Long-Range Planning Committee. This committee has representatives from the student body, the board of trustees, and the administration. Mr. Hassell told the group that Coach Garrison has wanted a weight machine for 2 or 3 years, but has not been able to fit this cost into his alloted budget. The main problem in obtaining a weight machine is still money and where it will come from. The next question brought up the fact that students pay for 21 meals a week to eat in the cafeteria and would like to know where the extra money from meals not eaten is spent. Mr. Sutton explained that the Cafeteria bases its rates on those meals that are not eaten and only tries to break even. The extra money, if there is any, is spent on special meals such as picnics. The next issue brought up concerned appliances in the dormitory rooms. Dean Lewis responded to this by saying that it is stated in the handbook which appliances can be used in the dormitory. The administration has known that many appliances are being used that are not listed in the handbook, but that the matter has been overlooked. He feels that it is time that this section of the handbook be rewritten due to the many changes in appliances in the past 10 years or so. Mr. Hassell rep lied that this topic is open for discussion. Some ot tfle ap pliances in question could worked into the handbook but the dormitories on campus are not wired to hold just any and all appliances. The rooms are wired in three rooms to a circuit and will hold only 20 amps. Hassell felt that some guidelines need to be drawn up in a committee. The dorm with the biggest problem is Mixon Hall. Hassell fells that Mixon’s situation should be cleared up as soon as possible. He explained that the temperature of the water and heating systems in all of the dormitories could be adjusted for greater comfort. The next issue concerned the lack of fire alarms in the dor mitories. Mr. Hassell also replied to this concern. He told the group of the damage done to the fire alarms by people messing around and playing with them. Due to this fact, they have been turned off. Robert Walker asked if there was a law that requires dor mitories to be equipped with fire alarms. Mr. Hassell’s reply was that he didn’t believe there was a law, but that it was a precautionary act. Dave Leber suggested that we stop the problem and use what has already been provided on the campus. Dean Lowe pointed out that the students would need to be more responsible if this was to work. Leber pointed out the college’s policy on stealing college property. He feels that more action should be taken on person’s who are responsible for stealing fire prevention equip ment. It was brought up that this is one of the rules of the college that should be enforced stricter due to the safety of the students. Dean Lewis then explained to the group the channels that need to be followed in acquiring changes in the college’s policies. First, committees need to write proposals and present them to the deans. If the dean cannot act on the matter, he will take it to the Student Affairs Council. At this point a recommendation is made to the President. If the President cannot make a decision on the matter, he presents the matter to the Board of Trustees. All proposals need to be put into writing and given to the dean in order for actions to be made. Dave Leber told the group about the petitions and how the Student Legislature had been advised to use this approach to making changes. Dean Lewis replied that petitions were legal instruments to inform the people of what is taking place. He ad vised us that the question con cerning the appliances could be solved by presenting a proposal to him in writing. He says that the written proposal is a faster way of having changes made than petitions would be. When asked by Jim Dale what would happen if appliances were confiscated from rooms, Dean Lewis replied that he would do what he could for the student. Dean Lewis also told the group that proposals should be made in making changes in the handbook. The next issue involved the possession of weights in the rooms. Dean Lewis answered that the weights damaged the tiles on the floors. Mr. Hassell told the group that weights were originally banded due to the damage and due to complaints made by the student who lived under rooms where weights were being used. Dean Lewis ex plained that the pro-rate is not enough to cover aU of the damages done in the dorms. Mr. Hassell has suggested individual room payments on damages to rooms. Joe Higgenbotham asked what makes one person responsible for another person’s damages. An instance brought up was that one complication kills it all for the rest of the college. The opinion was voiced that the college needs more social life. The next issue concerned where the money for parking tickets on campus went after it was collected. Nobody knew for sure where it went, but the assumption was made that this money was put into a General Operation Fund. The question was brought up that why can’t this money from the tickets be used by the students for more social functions and campus improvements. Dean Lewis suggested that this be put in writing and presented to him for consideration. The next question asked was whether or not privileges can be taken away from students without a reason. This was brought up to the situation where a student was told to remove a casket from his room without being given any reason to do so. Dean Lewis felt that the student involved should be able to keep the casket in his room unless his roommate objected to its presence. The next issue brought up concerned the room-checks that have recently been conducted in the male dormitories. Dean Lewis said that these room- checks were not supposed to be military inspections. Many of the guys felt that the room-checks were useless. Dean Lewis felt that these room-checks served their purpose. Dean Winslow explained that the check-list that the Resident Assistants had been using were for the RA’s to be sure that nothing is overlooked during a room-check. Many of the guys felt that these room-checks were getting a little ridiculous. Dean Winslow’s response was that maybe they were, but that they still served a purpose for the RA’s to have a system of checks and balances. The next issue brought up concerned the unconstitutionality of Chowan’s rules. Dean Lowe explained that a full study of Title DC would involve many years. Also, some parts of Title IX will not apply to Chowan. About the dormitory situations now, everything is at a stand still until the Board of Trustees takes action on the matter. He also explained the complications of Title IX and the fact that it will take a very extensive study to cover it all. Dean Lowe and Dean Lewis both spoke on the fact that even the state senators were not sure of all of Title IX’s im plications and that the regulations concerning curfews would remain as they are until official changes are made. The main concern of the deans and the Board of Trustees is the security of the dormitories. Open Dormitories were discussed next. Dean Lewis explained that open dorms are to be held on weekends, Saturdays and Sundays only, and during the week only on very special oc casions. Request must be made through the proper forms and within a reasonable period of time before the open dorm is planned. Dean Lewis also said that open dorms could be requested for every weekend and would not be turned down unless some complications arose. It was suggested that there be a stan dard time for ooen dorms to be held each week. A vote was taken to see what the response would be to weekly open dorms among the students. There was a full majority vote among those who were present for the meeting. Dean Lewis suggested that this recommendation be made to the SGA and the proper proposals be made by the group. It was also suggested that the Housing Committee meet and form some type of agreement concerning open dorms and other dormitory situations. The meeting was closed at 9:00 and will hopefully be continued at a later date. Respectfully, Phyllis C. Holland, SGA Secretary By defeating Sandhills 91-65 here Wednesday night, Chowan College’s basketball team, paced by twins Billy and Bobby Martin, who combined to score 43 points, earned a semifinal shot at Louisburg, Friday at 9 p.m. at Louis burg. While boosted by the 26-point win over Sandhills, Coach Bill McCraw would gladly settle for a one-point victory against Louisburg. That’s the margin the Hurricanes dropped Chowan in Louisburg, Feb. 7. The Braves earlier trounced Louisburg in I- Murfreesboro. Billy and Bobby took turns scoring on jumpers and layups as Chowan opened up a 20-point lead. Sandhills whittled it to 11 points at the half, 42-31. The same starting five of the Martins, forwards James Gof- figan and Lonnie Payton who added 15 points each, and cen ter Reggie Hi^gs, who scored 13, put Chowan in front by 23 points after just three minutes of the second half. McCraw substituted freely the rest of the way as the Braves maintained at least a 17- point lead. Chowan used a fullcourt press and Billy and Bobby converted several steals for easy baskets. A win over Louisburg is ex pected to give Chowan a trip to the regional meet in Rocky Mount, Va., but that would hinge on a Ferrum victory in the 7:30 p.m. semifinal game. The con ference is permitted to send two representatives. Ferrum, the regular season champion, has already won the privilege. Ferrum meets the winner if the College of the Albemarle-Mt. Olive game played Wednesday at COA. If Ferrum wins as ex pected, the winner of the Louisburg-Chowan contest will automatically go to the regionals. If Ferrum is upset, the winner of the final touonament game will accompany Ferrum to the region^. The championship game will be played Saturday, at 8 p.m., at Louisburg. accepting a sure invitation to the regional meet at Rocky Mount, VA. Both Ferrum and Louisburg will represent the Cavalier- Tarheel conference. Chowan started slow but rallied behind four straight field goals by guard Billy Martin to take a nine point lead, 35-26 with four minutes left in the first half. Louisburg turned the tide in short order, scoring the next 13 points for a 39-37 lead at intermission. The Hurricanes’ second half spurt spelled doom for Chowan even though the Braves pulled to within two points of Louisburg, 58-56, with 4:55 left. But Louisburg made its free thorws while the Braves missed several close shots that sealed their defeat. Bravettes Snap Streak Chowan vs. Louisburg With the score tied at 43 with 16 minutes left in the game, Louisburg scored 10 straight points and went on to a 68-62 win in semifinal action of the Cavalier-Tarheel conference tournament here Friday night, Feb. 27. season and prevented them from meeting Ferrum in the finals and Chowan College’s women’s basketball team defeated Christopher Newport College here, 53-30, Febuary 23, to snap a four-game losing streak. The losses were to Atlantic Christian, 84-46; Sandhills, 63-54; Atlantic Christian, 56-47; and North Carolina State JV’s, 73-45. Chowan’s record is 5-9. Center Annette Guyton, scoring 20 points for her seasonal high, was a chief factor in the Braves’ win over Christipher Newport. Forward Aleph Woodard, the team’s leading scorer with a 17.2 average, added 14 points. Chowan helped its cause with a good defensive effort against Christopher Newport, in- ^ tercepting a number of passes ' and causing numerous turnovers. Every player saw action. Mrs. Janet Collins, Chowan’s coach, reported that after 14 games, Woodard is the team leader in field goal percentage with 40. Guyton follows with 35 ■ and guard Usa Dabney with 34. . The top player from the free throw line is guard JoAnn Light, who is making 67 percent of her shots. Guyton and guard Kathy - Stover are next with 64 percent.; The top rebounders are Woodard with a 9.4 mark, Guyton, 6.3 and forward Susan Ferebee 5.
