A Review
Castor
Serandes
Scope
An exciting Saturday night was
just what it turned out to be when
Norfolk State College planned a
homecoming dance and show at
Norfolk’s Scope.
Jimmy Castor the Star of the
Boggie concert performed before
less than capacity crowds, but
with all the affects and ver-
satillity that a performer such as
he, can display. With his band he
sang some of his older recording
such as ‘Super Sound’, ‘Potential’
and ‘King Kong’, which created
an excitement with a gorilla on
stage.
In his latest album “The E-
Man,” he performed ex
ceptionally well displaying his
versatillity by singing ‘E-Man’
and ‘Dracula’, which climaxed
his act by having a vampire
slowly arrise from a velvet lined
casket on stage only to be driven
away by a shinning cross which
was held by Jimmy Castor.
The show began with ‘Hot
Cakes’, one of Tidewaters most
promising bands on the rock-soul
music scene. Because of the fact
they are not gaining the
recognition that they so greatly
deserve.
There were long space gaps
between groups indicating that
the show was not well planned.
When the changing of equipment
became lengthly, the audience
became restless and many
walked the floor which had no
seats (allowed for festival
seating).
The Bar-Kays, formally a back
up group for vocalist Issac
Hayes, gave an impressive
version of ‘Take you Higher’ an
oldie by Sly and The Family
Stone. The crowd became thrilled
and danced readily when ‘Do it
Till Your Satisfied,’ a song that
stayed on the top charts for
weeks was performed. They’re
latest song ‘Do the Bump,’ which
the crowd patiently awaited, was
saved for the last finale but was
done with style.
Also appearing in this show was
Ramsey Lewis performing a new
version of his latest album
‘Salongo’. The crowds would
have enjoyed it all the better if
his contemporary jazz tunes were
shortened, though ‘Sun Goddess’,
‘Spider Man’, and ‘Salongo’ were
enjoyed the most. The show
proved to be a hit for all those
who turned out.
The Faculty Student Relations
Committee met on October 13,
1976, 7:30 p.m., in Camp Hall,
Room 210. Members present
were: Gilbert Tripp, Charles
Paul, Ken Wolfskill, Rowland
Pruette, Cliff Collins, George
Hazelton and Marianne Jackson.
Student members present were;
Dave Leber, SGA President; -
Betty Moores, treasure of SGA;
Sue Guertin; Richard Greene,
and Fred Midget.
A correction to the minutes was
made by the secretary. Mr. Tripp
was present at the September
meeting but his name did not
appear in the minutes.
The chairman then presented
to the committee several memos
written in response to remarks
and questions written in the
September minutes.
The matter of the SGA Bulletin
Board was discussed. A memo
from Dr. Whitaker related to the
committee the fact that the
bulletin board by the cafeteria
door was put up for use by the
SGA.
Student members then voiced
their displeasure with the
location of the cafeteria bulletin
board. The present locations is
bad because if one reads the
items on the board they would get
hit by the cafeteria door.
The committee suggested the
students look into the possibility
of having the bulletin board
moved to a better location. A
motion was made and seconded
that the students ask lAr. Hassell
to move the bulletin board to a
suitable place agreed to by Mr.
Hassell and the SGA President.
The chairman read another
memo concerning SGA bulletin
boards from Mr. Hassell to Dr.
Whitaker. This memo stated that
an aluminum constructed
bulletin board with 3 large sec
tions was bought for the SGA.
TTiis board is free standing and is
portable. This bulletin board is
located in the student center.
The students

Nelson.
The chairman then reviewed a
memo from Dean Lewis con
cerning the length of time it takes
to repair Parker elevators. Dean
Lewis’ memo stated that; 1) The
college does have a monthly
service contract on elevators,
this means they are serviced
each month. 2) When one
elevator is inoperable and one is
functioning, the elevator repair
service is not notified, the reason
is to avoid expense in mileage
and time. 3) When both elevators
become inoperable, the repair
service is notified.
Dean Lewis said that damage
is done to the elevators when
students press the “Emergency
Stop" button to skip floors.
The students agreed that the
elevators had been repaired and
were operating at this time. They
also agreed with what Dean
Lewis stated as the cause of
damage done to the elevators by
hitting the “Emergency Stop”
button, but they could not give any
suggestions as to how this
problem could be solved.
A memo from Mr. Hassell to
Dr. Whitaker was also read by
the chairman concerning the
elevators. Mr. Hassell indicated
that repairs had been made
twice, approximately a month
after school started.
The same memo from Mr.
Hassell stated that it was true
that only two TV’s were
operating in men’s dorms. He
then said that 3 new TV’s were
purchased and placed in service
on the 13 of September.
The chairman read a final
memo from Dean Lewis to Mr.
Sutton and Mr. Deskins bringing
to their attention the concerns of
the students regarding unlevel
cafeteria tables.
Mr. Hazelton told committee
that Dean Lewis had sent a memo
to Dean Winslow about the
problem of breaking line in the
cafeteria. Dean Lewis asked
Dean Winslow to work with the
hosts and hostesses to stop some
of the line breaking problem.
Three student members of his
committee said there had been no
diange in the breaking in line
situation.
Mr. Tripp said he would t>e
responsible for reproducing
copies of all the campus com
mittees and committee chairmen
and give each SGA member a
copy of these committees.
Students asked for suggestions
on appointing students to the
various campus committees. It
seems that only a few students
will volunteer for committee
positions.
It was suggested by the com
mittee to have the SGA president
submit a list of committees, their
functions and the chairmen to the
Smoke Signals to be placed under
the heading of “Wanted Student
Volunteers!”
It was brought up by the
Chairman that he had spoken to
Dr. Lowe about the problem of
12:00 and 1:00 class, leaving litt;e
time for students to eat lunch,
because the cafeteria line begins
forming before 11:30. Dr. Lowe
was not aware of the problem.
Mr. Wolfskill said he would bring
up this problem at the next
E)epartment Head meeting.
The chairman asked if there
were any matters that needed to
be brought before the committee.
One student said the students
are concerned with the amount of
time Dean Lewis has to accept
the decision of the Faculty
Judiciary. They were under the
Question Answered On Security
Campus security and student
safety have been topics of much
discussion among several college
groups in recent weeks. Some of
the concerns for better security
and improved lighting were
based on facts. At times facts
were misrepresented. Untruths
and partial truths were
propounded and accepted as
infalable beliefs by a few.
Rumors made their rounds in
the residence halls. Residents
heard that locks to outside exits
in Jenkins and Belk Halls could
be opened with an ID card. Other
believed the outside locks could
be picked. When Mr. Jack
Hassell, Superintendent of
Buildings and Grounds,
responded to the rumor that
outside doors in Belk and Jenkins
could be picked or opened with a
credit card, he said, “No way. A
profesional might be able to pick
them, but it would take him a
long time.”
impression. Dean l.«wis had
three weeks to think over
judiciary matters.
This committee told the
students they were misinformed,
but it was not written down in the
Student Handbook the amount of
time given the administration.
The Student Handbook says that
a student is given 48 hours to
appeal if they are dissatisfied
with the decision of the faculty
judicary.
A motion was made and
seconded that it be made clea^^
that the administration has th^^
same period of time to make a
final decision as the students
have to appeal, 48 hours.
The women students present
were very concerned about the
lack of security at night. They
reported that they were
dissatisfied with the results of the
meeting between Security and
Dean I>ewis in the girls dorms.
One committee member said
that there is a need for more
security people to solve the
problems which occur at night.
It was brought to the attention
of this committee that coeds are
able to pick the locks on an
outside hall door of the dorms.
This did not give the women
students a feeling of security at
night.
Students noted that there are
no operating fire alarms in the
men’s dorms. Mr. Tripp, who is
chairman of the Physical Plant
committee for Self Study, said
that they were recommending
that each RA be given a com
pressed gas horn to be used as a
fire alarm. When a fire occurs,
students are to go to their RA.
Students also voiced concern
about the condition of the ladies
restrooms located behind the
consession stand on the football
field. There are no partitions
between each of the toilets in the
restroom. The chairman said he
would check with Mr. Hassell
about the matter.
Students were concerned about
“How far does the arm of the
college reach?” They caruiot
understand why they are put on
trial twice for a crime, once by
the Town of Murfreesboro and
again by the College. The com
mittee indicated to the students
that any crime that hits the local
paper or local courts about
Chowan College students is a
concern of the college.
The next meeting was set for
November 10, 1976.
Being no further business, the
meeting was adjourned.
