Page 4 -Smoke Signals, Thursday, February 10, 1983 Brave Basketball Brains, Burke & Bunker, Blink Frosh Lead Braves Staff Photo By Barry Woods 1982-83 Chowan Braves By Joe McGarrity As the Chowan Braves men’s basketball team (16-1 and ranked 12 in the country) continue to roll along to one of their finest seasons ever, it comes as no surprise that the Braves six freshmen recruits have played a most important part in the Braves incredible leap to national prominence. “I think this is the best group of freshmen we’ve ever had,” said Braves coach Bob Burke. “They all come from solid high school programs, and they all know how to win. This adds to their having a bigger impact on our program than any other freshmen that I have had,” added Burke. Everyone should know these six young men by now, but for those who don’t, here they are: Todd Wright, 6’1” guard from Chesapeake, Va. Probably plays the least of the six, but is improving each day. Says Burke; “Todd’s a good shooter who needs to develop strength and intensity. He will make a con tribution once he learns our system well.” Frankie Toney, 6’4” swingman from Elm City, N.C. Strong leaper and good shooter. He too lacks experience. Says Burke: “Frankie is making an ad justment from a high school center to the wing position. When he learns the wing position he’ll make a con tribution.” Sam Tyson, 6’7” forward from Greenville, N.C. Excellent all-around offensive player who can run and shoot the 15 footer. Says Burke: “Sam wSs slowed by early season injuries^ but now is showing signs of becoming an offensive machine. His ability to handle and pass the ball is outstanding for his 1982-83 Lady Braves Cafeteria Changes (Continued from Page 1) Students. Approximately 250 glasses of beverages were thrown out along with 200 deserts. An estimated 250 to 300 slices of bread were left uneaten. Napkins were gone through at 20,000 a day. Student’s excuse—“1 paid for it.” They do not realize the cafeteria is on a budget limiting them to spend 76 cents a meal per student. It is true that some students do not eat in the cafeteria which allows for more money to be spent on meals. "It’s a gamble just like anything else," replied Thompson. In Mr. Thompson’s fiv , ears he has put in dividers, drink lines, salad bars, and even allowing seconds. He has worked with Mr. Suti >r to make im provements for thi dents. It is however a slow pro 't will take a lot more communici between the students and the statf to make the necessary improvements If anyone has suggestions r complaints they should voice them Mr. Thompson. It is the students’ ca. .eria and it is up to them to decide what can be done to im prove it. The Cafeteria committee meets in the President’s dining room and meetings are open to all interested. If you are interested in attending the meetings to add your suggestions, con tact Mr. Thompson on any member of the Cafeteria Committee. Who's Who (Continued from Page 1) They join an elite group of students selected from more than 1,300 in stitutions of higher learning in all SO states, the District of Columbia and several foreign nations. Outstanding students have been honored in the annual directory since it was first published in 1934. Among the 25 Chowan students are nine from North Carolina: Robert Carlton Ballance, Jr.of Shawboro; Betty Sue Qemmons, Graham; Tina Lynette Glosson, Atlantic Beach; Alan Conn Harris, Murfreesboro; Joseph HendrexKirkland, Pendleton; Barbara Denise Little, Mt. Gilead; Donna Jean Simons, Powellsville; Lisa Lynn Torrence, Sunbury; Stanley Keith Vaughan, Potecasi. Twelve students are from Virginia: Roy Thomas Austin, Jr., Newport News; Wanda Gay Bishop, Disputanta; Kimberley Lucille Bohr, Virginia Beach; Kenneth Lewis Clary, Lawrenceville; Gail Lynne Clyburn, Norfolk; Laura Lynne Farrenkopf, Suffolk; Merian Leigh George, White Stone; Augustos Kefalas, Glen Allen; Kathleen Suzanne Scott, Waverly; Laura Marie Sykes, Chesapeake; Bruce Edward Thomas, Kilmarnock; Mary Anne Weiss, Hampton. Other students receiving the honor include Pura Ileana Puertas, Miami, Fla.;Blake Stuart Cromer, Lexington, S.C.; Mahmoud Subhi Istaitieh, West Bank, Israel: Pius Malemog, Trust Territory of the Pacific, Micronesia. Boost the Braves! size. He may become our best offensive player. He’ll be highly recruited next year if he’ll work on his defense.” John Thomas, 6’5’ power-forward from Norfolk, Va. Excellent body for a small power forward at a Division 1 school. Likes contact and can play defense. Says Burke: “John’s a lot better than I thought he’d be at this this stage. He’s probably our most solid freshman. He’s poised and comes from a good background (Maury H.S.). His shot selection is as good as I've ever seen. He’s one of the leading field goal percentage shooters in the country at 79.5 percent. Excellent.” Dave Burgess, 6’8” center from Baltimore, Md. One of Braves two freshman starters. Strong post player with a nice shooting touch from 15 feet. Will be heavily recruited next year, says Burke: “ Dave’s big and aggressive, and by next year he’ll fully have learned howjto run the floor as a forward. Because of his size, people expect too much. He needs a little more time and he can be as good as he wants.” Nate McMillan is a super passer who can play center if he wants. Starred in North-South All Star game this past summer. His flashy style of play electrifies the crowd, and has Division 1 coaches all over the country drooling, says Burke, “Nate is doing just about what we thought he’d do. He has shown his versatility on the floor. His style of play on the open floor (fast break) is very exciting, and the fans love to watch him play. He’s our leader in every category. He needs to improve i some areas, but he’ll get much better.” There they are. Coach Burke and company really lured a dynasty to Murfreesboro this time, and, with it, a possible national title. Coaches Comment On NCAA Ruling Going into efffect in 1986 the NCAA committee has ruled that any athelete coming out of high school and planning to attend a Division 1 school has to score 700 or more on the SAT (Scho lastic Aptitude Tests) and have a 2.0 grade point average. This will have an effect on every junior college in the U.S. What do Chowan coaches think? Coach Gay Scott, women’s basket ball: “I think something had to be done. It'll definitely hurt the Division 1 schools.” Coach Ken Bunker, asst, football and basketball: “It’s going to be a lot of debating; but they’ve passed it and we’re going to have to stand by it.” Coach Bob Burke, head men's basket ball: “I think it's a good rule. College is a place for learning as well as high school.” “We will definitely profit by this rule, but I don’t have any kid coming here who is not a student athelete. I’m look ing for a kid who’s going to be a top notch ball player as well as a student. I want my kids to graduate and if they want to play at a Division I school, the option will be there.” “It'll (the new rule) probably broaden our recruiting contacts, but I really don't know how much it’ll help it.” Coach Jim Garrison, athletic director and head football coach; “I always thought the college boards (SAT) is a measure. But I never thought it should be able to count so much. Sure, they (NCAA) had to have some kind of measure.” “There are all kinds of tests. Some kids are better in some things than they are in others and vice verse.” “On our standing (JUCO), I think, give and take a few things, it’s be a tremendous lift to junior college pro gram.” SGA Elections This month, the SGA will begin seeking candidates to run for an office in Student Government next year. SGA officers can have a great deal of power and influence on behalf of Chowan students. Candidates must be full time students, have completed two semesters at Chowan by the end of the Spring Sememster, have a 2.0 average or above and have a good conduct record.

Do you have a room mate or are you in class with someone whom you feel is leadership material and whom you would be proud to have represent you. Think about it, en courage capable persons (yourself, maybe) to seek election and then give them your support. Eight officers can not do the job alone If you are interested or have ques tions, talk with one of the current of ficers or see Dr. Davis or Ms. Nicks, SGA adviser.
