Lees-McRae 'Cats' Come
From Behind to Win
PUSHING HARD — The Bobcat defense started pushing
hard in the second half giving Chowan’s quarterbacks
Randy Blake (pictured) and Mike Posternock little time in
the backfield. Bruce Robinson of Woodbine, Ga. stops
Lees-McCrae’s Richard Penland just short of interupting
Randy Brake's pass.
PASSING TROUBLE — Bruce Bryant of Beltsville Md. tries
to out stride Lees-McRae defensive back Greg Ferguson
after pulling down pass. Chowan’s passing game got into
trouble as the game progressed. ^

great moment for Dave PalumkX) of Millington N.J.
Unfortunately for Chowan after the first half they could not
get across the goal line until the final second of the game.
Lees-McRae College scored 34
straight points to erase Chowan
College’s 14-0 lead and wm its
homecoming game 34-20 here
Saturday afternoon, Oct. 16.
Brave Head Coach Jim
Garrison used three quar
terbacks and threw two touch
down passes. The defense scored
the other touchdown. After
trailing 14-7 at the half, Lees-
McRae completely dominated
the second half, running the score
up to 34-14 before the Braves
scored at the end of the game.
In the first half, Chowan ap
peared to be picking up where it
left off last Saturday when the
Braves defeated Ferrum 14-2.
Wide receiver Dave Palumbo
received a 32-yard pass from
quarterback Mike Posternock for
the game’s first score just before
the end of the first quarter.
Chowan scored again early in
the second period when defensive
tackle John Twitty recovered a
fumble from the Bobcats,
punter in the endzone. Randy
Miller kicked both extra points
for the 14-0 lead.
With a little over a minute left
in the half, quarterback Bob
Hamilton found tight end Chris
Canja in the endzone for the
Bobcats’ first score. Paul Talley,
who would later help wreck the
Braves, kicked the extra point to
narrow Chowan’s lead to 14-7.
“We’re back in the ball game
now,” shouted a teenage fan from
the sidelines. His prophecy more
than came true in the second half
as Lees-McRae scored two field
goals and three touchdowns in a
row.
Talley began the scoring with a
45-yard field goal late in the third
quarter. With three minutes
gone in the final period, Lees
McRae took the lead 17-14 on a
two-yard run by Hamilton to cap
a four-play drive set up with an
interception at Chowan’s 34.
After the kickoff, Lees-
McRae’s fierce defense forced
the Braves backwards. Randy
Shumaker was forced to punt on
the run from his endzone after
taking a high snap from center.
The 12-yard punt went out of
bounds at the Braves’ 18.
Moments later running back Paul
McKenney scored from Chowan’s
seven.
_ . With 3:01 left in the game,
tallely "aJded a 41-yard field
goal. But the Bobcats’ weren’t
through yet. With just seconds
left, safety Wes Douglas fell on a
fumble by scrambling reserve
quarterback Barry Barkley in
the Braves’ endzone. The extra
point upped Lees-McRae’s lead
to 34-14.
An interference call that ad
vanced the ball 47 yards set up
Chowan’s final score. Barkley
dodged several defenders, kept
his composure and found flanker
Dino Lloyd in the endzone with a
30-yard scoring strike.
Chowan was held to minus 14
yards rushing in the second half.

Braves’ runners with 47 yards on
14 carries. Posternock completed

SLIPPERY — Rain made the ball very slippery. Eddie Deed scrambled over everyone in
attempt to recover the loose ball. Chowan did get its hands on this fumble, but later in the
game Chowan had its own problems with keeping the ball in the runners hands.
A Short Story
Sandy Visits Parker
by Linda Steece
Once upon a time Parker Hall
had open dorm. A girl by the
name of Sandy decided to go see
how the opposite sex lived.
As she walked in the lovely
door, she saw the glorious post
office known greatly for it’s ef
ficiency in getting the mail out on
time. It was so wonderous she
could bearly tear herslf away.
After this she walked over to
the elevator. So this is what an
elevator is she thought. Living on
the third floor of Belk doesn’t
give you luxuries like that. Then
it happened the sort of thing that
wrecks the moment, a guy came
over and told her that he had been
stuck in the same elevator for
two hours the day before. This
alarmed her greatly so she
decided to walk up the stairs.
As she made her way to the
fourth floor she decided to take
the elevator weather it got stuck
Rumors Are Explained
Tracing a rumor to its origin
is as difficult as finding a contact
lens in a crowded football
stadium. But, just as people are
taught to be critical readers, to
question the wisdom is what they
read, people must train them
selves to be critical listeners to
evaluate clearly and objectively
what they hear in order to arrive
at truth. Without doubt, the best
l^oretocie^ jjet^.dpvelpped, by
man for spreading rumors are
residence halls. Likewise, one of
the best places to master the art
of critical listening is in a
residence hall.
Two unfortunate incidents
have occurred on campus this
fall. Luckily in both incidents the
affenders were arrested.
Students assisted local
authorities in both incidents by
identifing thise who had com
mitted the offinse.
Learning from these ex
periences, we should be more
cautious than in former times.
Increasing crime everywhere
requires us to take security and
,sfl£-pr,otection seriously. The
same time we cannot permit
ourselves to be defeated
psychologically by exaggerations
and RUMORS-COMMON TALK
NOT AUTHENTICATED. We
cannot allow ourselves to l>ecome
enslaved by fear.
Math Help Offered
Students who were unhappy
with their mid-term grades in
mathematics can find help from
the following sources:
First of all, discuss your
situation with your professor.
Ask for an appointment. Keep it.
Follow through with suggestions.
A professor from the Depart
ment of Mathematics is in Room
106, Camp Hall from 2:00 p.m.
until 4:40 p.m. each Monday,
and
Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday,
A student is available in Room
104, Camp Hall from 2:00 p.m.
until 4:00 p.m. each Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday.
A friend who is doing well in the
course is often a good source of
help.
Most Iranians would be happy
to exchange help in mathematics
for help in English.

or not.
Sandy finally made it to the
fifth floor and went in to see her
friend.
As she walked in she saw the
elegant and spacious rooms. In
fact so the guys would have more
rooms they forgot to put in sinks.
Suddenly, her eyes got big and
her heart started beating faster
and more rapidly. A guy across
the hall was drinking out of a ch
ampaign glass. She thought it was
completely againest the school
policy to do things like that. She
started to leave when she found
out it was only mountain dew.
After sitting down and
talking for a while she saw a
strange sight. A short little guy
with a green hat was climbing up
the walls. When asking her
friend if she was seeing things,
he answered that she was not and
added that the cafeteria food did
it every time.
Flea Market
Is Planned
Karen Meyers
The Inter-Club Council (a club
made up of all club presidents
and secretaries) is sponsoring a
flea-market Nov. 6 at 11:00 a.m.
in Squirrel Park. Each Club will
sponsor a table (with a sign
specifying the club). A person
wanting to display their home
made or antique items can do so
for $3.00 the whole day. The flea-
market will be announced on
several radio stations so the
community will be present.
There is no way a club will walk
away without any money! All
dub presidents are to see Karen
Meyers in Belk 210 or Mrs. Vann
in Columns building in order to
participate in the flea-market.
Talent Sought
For "House"
The first Coffee House for the
year was held in the Snack Bar of
the Cafeteria Tuesday evening,
October 26, from 7:00 to 8: p.m.
Entertainers were Bob Heneger
and Robert Levy of Parker Hall,
who sang several selections and
accompanied themselves with
guitars.
If you are interested in making
a Coffee House a Monthly
“happening” on campus, let it be
known to Alice Vann, whose
office is in the Columns Building.
We are searching for talent
among our student help get a
Coffee House started. There is
also a need for other volunteer
workers, as well as a reception
and appreciative Audience.

Parents of the players will be
guests of Chowan College for
“Volleyball Parents’ Night”
when the women’s volleyball
team hosts William and Mary in a
doubleheader beginning at 6:30 p.
m. in Chowan’s gym, Monday,
Nov. 1.
The parents will be guests of the
coUege for both dinner in Thomas
Cafeteria and the game.
Chowan will need one of its best
matches to stay on even terms
with William and Mary. In the
first match, WiUiam and Mary
won 15-1,15-8. The Braves played
their poorest game of the season
in the first game but showed
improvement in the second
game. Based on the spirited and
improved play of Chowan in
recent games, Mrs. Collins
believes Chowan has a good
opportunity to make each game
competitive in the rematch.
Chowan has only three
sophomores among its 14 players.
Chowan evened its record at 7-7
in its last outing, an easy 15-2,15-0
win over Greensboro. The Lady
Braves scored six points on the
serves of co-captain Susan
Ferebee of Camden and four on
those of Delores Biby of Staunton,
Va.
In the second game, Chowan
scored all 15 points off the serves
of Peggy McLemore, who aced 10
of the 15 points. This is her second
such feat of the season.
Chowan also recently beat
Meredith, 15-11, 9-15, 15-10; and
Christopher Newport, 15-6, 15-8.
In the deciding game against
Meredith, Chowan played
together “very well,” noted
Coach Janet Collins. After
having trouble with their sets in
the first two games, the Braves
"went back to our regular setting
offense,” Mrs. Collins reported.
She said the team also scored
well on the spike- three points and
one side out.
In the first game against
Christopher Newport, Chowan
scored five points on the serves of
Cindy Downs of Silver Spring,
Md.; and three each on the serves
of co-captain Jo Ann LiKht of
Mechanicsville, Va. and Kim
Qaytor of Waynesboro. Chowan
showed “good hustle and good
team play,” according to Mrs.
Collins, to win the game.
In the second game, Chowan
scored seven points on Ferebee’s
serves and four points on the
serves of Nancy LaVerne
Williams of Suffolk, Va.
Squad Evens
Record With
Wesleyan Win
Chowan College’s women’s
volleyball team evened its record
at 4-4 with a 15-10,15-10 win over
North Carolina Wesleyan, Oct. 7.
The win followed a loss the
same evening to powerful
Louisburg, 15-3, 15-4.
Chowan used its spiking game
to win the first game against
Wesleyan. The Lady Braves
missed only three spikes as a
team. Nancy Lavern Williams of
Suffolk, Va., and Jo Ann Light,
co-captain from Mechanicsville,
Va., aided the Braves’ cause with
their sets, according to Coach
Janet Collins.
With the junior varsity playing
the second game, Chowan missed
only three serves as a team. They
used the same formula of good
sets and spikes while blocking
two attempts by Wesleyan for
points. “This was the best team
effort the J.V. squad has shown
this year,” Mrs. Collins reported.
In other recent action, Chowan
won its third match dropping
Atlantic Christian College, 15-9,
15-6, Oct. 6.
In the first game, Chowan
scored four points on Light’s
serves and two points each on the
spikes of Kim Claytor of
Waynesboro and Cindy Downs of
Silver Spring, Md.
The Braves used the serve as
their chief weapon in the second
game. Chowan scored five points
on Williams’s serves, and four
each on the serves of Mary
Franklin of Madison Heights,
Va., and Light.
Chowan lost matches Sept. 30 to
Peace College, 3-15, 15-13, 3-15;
and Oct. 6 to East Carolina
University, 16-14, 15-9.
In winning the second game
against Peace, Chowan turned in
aie of its finest performances of
the season, Mrs. Collins noted.
Soccer Team
Battles N.C.
Wesleyan, 2-2
Chowan’s soccer team battled
to a 2-2 tie against North Carolina
Wesleyan Octol>er 6.
This makes Chowan’s record 1-
3-1 while Wesleyan’s is 2-4-1.
Robert Levy of Richmond, VA.,
scored Chowan’s first goal on a
penalty kick in the first period.
The Braves’ other goal came in
the second period on a kick by
Jamie Edwards.
A possible game winning
penalty goal was made by
Chowan in the overtime period
but was disallowed due to a
penalty.
Head Coach Roy Winslow
commented, “Hugh Dillon played
a good game at fullback, as did
Mike Bradley at goal and Patrick
Fildes at wing.”
Chowan's next match will be at
home November 6 against
Averett CoUege of Danville, VA.
The match will begin at 2 p.m. on
the Chowan soccer field.
She said the Braves “played with
confidence and a the players
consistently converted from
defense to offense and scored.”
Chowan gave ECU real scare in
the first game. The Braves
played together as a team l>efore
finally bowing to the university
squad Chowan scored five points
off Downs’ serves in the second
game.
Chowan’s junior varsity im
proved its record to 2-0 with a 15-
3, 15-13 win over Peace, Sept. 30.
Peggy McLemore of Richmond,
Va., and Jean Bilski of
Mechanicsville, Va., paced the
Braves in sets with three each for
both games. Other players who

Beach, Va.; Ginny Groo of
Newark, Del.; andGwenda Jones
of Richmond, Va.
Chowan plays doubleheaders at

will be a doubleheader against
William and Mary Nov. 1.
Taxing Retirees
. . there is Ihe general be
lief that the corporation income
tax is a tax on the ‘rich* and on
the 'fat cats.' But with pension
funds o>^ning 30 per cent of
American large business—and
soon to own 50 per cent—the
corporation income tax, in ef>
feet, eases the load on those in
top income brackets and penal*
izes the beneficiaries of pension
funds. In many cases it means
an effective tax of almost 50
per cent on the retired worker,
compared with the 15 per cent
or less that he is supposed to
pay. Ihe corporation income
tax has become the most re
gressive tax in our system and
a tax on the wage earner and
on wages. —Peter F. Dnicker
