The 1980 Fall List contains 136 students, 11 on the President’s List, 26 on the Dean’s List, and 99 on the Honors List. Compared to years past, these figures show only a mild change. In the Fall ol 1977, there were eight on the President’s List, 37 on the Dean’s List, and 99 on the Honors Roll. The total of students on the entire list was 144. The Fall of 1978 was a little better with 7 on the President’s List, 57 on the Dean’s List, and 113 on the Honca-s Rdl.The graixl total for 1978 was 177. Not mu^ change was seen in the Fall of 1979. The President’s List had 14 students, the Dean’s list had 58, and the Honors Roll had 102. The total for that year was 174. To make the Honor Roll and other lists, a student must have a certain grade point average. The President’s List requires a 4.0 average, which is straight A’s. To make the Dean’s List, a 3.50 to a 3.99 average must be attained. The Honors Roll carries a 3.0 to a 3.49 average. No grade below a C will be accepted or an unsatisfactory in assembly. The following Students made the Honor Roll for the Fall semester ol 1980: PRESIDENT’S LIST Belch, Judy C.; Braxton, Cynthia M.; Downie, G. Robert; Drake, Michael W.; Duckies, John, and Goss, Nikki J.

(See Honors, Page 2) BY BELINDA ELMORE Chowan College has experienced an increase in the violation of the visita tion policy. Since the beginning of this school year, the number of people charged with the violation has shown a drastic uprise from years past. In the Fall Semester, eleven people were charged with either bringing so meone into the dorm or being in the dorm of the opposite sex. Since the beginning of the Spring Semester, five people have already been charged for violation of the policy. Past statistics show that there is a rise and fall in the number charged. In the Fall Semester of 1975, only two were charged, 1976 had only one violation of the policy. The 1977 Fall Semester showed eleven violations and 1978 had only two. The figures for 1979 were unavailable. There is no definite pat tern for the rise and fall in the number of violations. The penalty for violating the policy ranges from suspension to loss of visita tion privileges. Other penalties include preliminary suspension, fines and/or work hours. The Judicial Committee has re quested the penalty to be “rougher, in handling cases of this nature.” The in crease in violations may be because of the “slack” penalty. If the increase continues, it was indicated the college will take a harder line in handling violaters of the policy. If reduction of the penalty causes an increase in the number of violations, then a tougher penalty should reduce the number of violations. The current handbook states that “being in areas other than the entry level lounges of residence halls oc cupied by members of the opposite sex wihtout official permission is prohibited-Penalty: Not less than preliminary suspension nor more than suspension.” The policy will be enforc ed to anyone who violates the policy. “The students should conduct themselves in an appropriate manner,” Dean Roy Winslow stated. “They (the students) should cooperate with the school and identify with the concern on the part of the college in the number of violations.” Many of the students charged do not think that they will be the ones to get caught.

He added that it is not only difficult to get, but it’s also expensive. In the fall of 1980, peanut butter was $32.50 per case, or six 7-pound cans. Now the price is $90 per case. One of the biggest suppliers of institu tional foods on the east coast, Sandler Foods, has only four cases of peanut butter in their warehouse, Thompson said, and chances are slim that they will get any more. A possible substitute for peanut but ter is soybean butter. This is rated high nutritionally, has its drawbacks. It doesn’t look or taste like peanut butter and, according to Thompson, people just won’t eat it. Thompson Tries in Vain Photo by Robert Wogn«r Move of Post Office During Break Likely By JENNIFER WICKER Work is continuing as scheduled on the new student center and, unless something drastic happens, it will be open in time for students who are leaving to enjoy it, according to Jack Hassell, superintendent of buildings and grounds. The cement floor is being covered with bricks, and a wood rail has been built around the gym floor. The offices and the game room should be finished soon. Plans are being made to move the post office during spring break, though it might not be possible to move it until this summer, stated Hassell. Heat for the building will come from Columns until a new natural gas heating unit can be installed. Fans will be used to circulate the air in warm weather. Hassell has encountered problems with insulation not sticking to the walls, but he said that has been referred to the insulation company because it is still under warranty. Completion of the laundry room, and rest rooms will be delayed, but the front part of the center will be open. Even tually, a storage room, and a patio will be added to the back of the building. Mixon Facelift Under Way By JENNIFER WICKER The renovation of Mixon Hall has been started. Rooms are being paneled and carpeted, and individual heating units are being installed in each room. AH the windows will be replaced, and new lights are being added. The present lounge will be given a face lift, it will be enlarged, and the windows windows will be replaced. Another lounge will be built on the other side of the building. Mixon will reopen this fall, and students who lived there before will have the option to return, reported Jack Hassell, superintendent of buildings and grounds. ‘ site.

BY SUSAN CALHOUN Iowa needed it. New York admitted Texas had it, but couldn’t handle the deal. Iowa resorted to contacting a go- between in Chicago. The go-between finally pulled off the deal in December, and the 6840-lb. shipment arrived in January. Now comes the big question; can it last through the spring? Iowa’s not the only place asking such questions and indulging in purchasing practices once reserved for wheeler- dealers on the spot oil market. All over the nation, colleges’ hottest commodity is growing scarce. A panic is growing over the shortage of nothing less than... peanut butter. Finding peanut butter is a task to stretch the resources and imagination of the most able college food service director these days. But exhaustive searches by school purchasing depart ments have been only occasionally suc cessful, and somes colleges are starting to ration the substance. For example, students at Penn State, University of California at Berkeley, and the University of Colorado now find peanut butter offered at only one of the t\ meals their food services provide each week. Northwestern University began a similar rationing plan, but cancelled it when the university food service found some peanut butter in a Kankakee, 111. warehouse at the last minute. “Oh, we pay twice the usual price,” says a Saga food service secretary at Northwestern, “but we have to have peanut butter.” Some schools, however, just don’t have the money. “We found out we can get it, but at a price that would break the university’s budget,” laments a spokeswwnan for Berkeley’s purchas ing office. Robert Greiner, food stores manager at Iowa State, tells what a campus food - director who won’t give in to high prices or low availability has to go through: “We happened to hear of the impen ding shortage early last fall at a con ference,” he recalls. “We knew people were going to start bidding on peanut butter all over, but we got the jump on it.” Consequently Greiner learned from the Standard Brands Food Corporation headquarters in New York that 230 cases of the precious stuff were sitting in a Texas warehouse. The New York office, however, refused to sell the cases to Iowa State,which is in a dif ferent sales region. In response, Greiner hired a Chicago agent to make the buy from Texas. “We ordered all the peanut butter they had,” Greiner says. Unfortunate ly, “only 190 instead of 230 cases” were deliver^. Greiner is triumphant none the less when he boasts, “We got the last peanut butter in Texas.” “We’ll get through it because Iowa’s enrollment is usually a little lower in the spring,” he projects. “And you know, people are on diets and stuff in the spring. We’ll make it, but I don’t know about summer term.” The real culprit for the shortage is the drought that wiped out half the U.S. peanut crop last summer, according to James E. Marsh, counsel for the Peanut Butter and Nut Processors Association in Washington, D.C. The nation’s three peanut-produc ing regions-Virginia and the Carolinas; the southeastern states of Georgia, Alabama and Florida; and the southwestern states of Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico — had rain falls that were 34 to 44 percent of the usual summer average.
