Page 2—Smoke Signals, Friday, October 5, 1984 {Edltoriab Efforts of Food Services Perhpas one of the busiest “auxiliary enterprises” of the college community which serves students, is Food Services of Thomas Cafeteria. The staff works many, many hours each week in preparing meals and strives constantly to provide the very best meals possible for the students. Foremost in these efforts is the goal to make every meal a well-balanced and nutritious one. In addition to the normal, day-to-day operation of providing three meals a day to the approximately 900 students and faculty, the cafeteria staff provides meals for numerous banquets and special meetings which take place on campus and within the President’s Dining Room. The Food Services Staff also makes extra efforts on special oc casions by providing bountiful buffets. Such will be the case on Oc tober 30, when the annual Halloween Buffet will be staged, and prizes given for the best costumes worn by students. This affair is always a “fun evening” and enjoyed by all those attending. In November, the staff will again provide a special buffet in obser vance of Thanksgiving, and the same will be true the following month with a special Christmas dinner. The staff is to be commended, not only for the long hours of day- to-day operation, but for going the “extra mile” in seeking to pro vide the very best service possible to the college conomunity. Help is Waiting A recent survey of Chowan students indicated that 50-55% wondered if they were in the program of study which was right for them. Also, a large number of Chowan students will change their major at least once prior to graduation. If you are like most students at Chowan and other junior col leges across the nation, you probably have similar problems in determining your furture career goals. If you are undecided on a major or career, and would like help in determining your future plans, both academically and occupa tionally, you might be interested in coming by the CounseUng and Career Development Center located in the basement of the library (across from Snack Bar). We have the following diagnostic tools to aid you in your deci sion: (1) the Self-Directed Search: 'A Guide to Educational and Vocational Planning (an interest inventory that can guide you to an occupation); (2) the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, which has definitions of over 20,000 occupations; (3) the Occupational Outlook Handbook which lists requirements, salaries, future growth and employment outlooks for jobs; and (4) many others. These will help you determine your career goals based on in terest and ability. With this information as a guide, the Counseling and Career Development Offtce can assist you in planning your curriculum while at Chowan so that your transfer to a senior in stitution will be as smooth as possible. —Linda Tripp, Guidance Counselor STUD6NT NEWSPAPER OF CHOWAN COLLEGE Editor, _Jerry Sutton Associate Editor, .Norris Hendrix Ready for 1984-85 season The cheerleoding squad posed for a photograph during a recent practice session and oppear to be ready to cheer athletic teams to victories this season.

Symphony to present two performances This season, the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra will present for concert au diences two evenings of chamber reper toire favorites in Dana Auditorium on the Queens College campus. This is the second season of presenting music from the chamber literature and represents an additional focus for the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra in expanding its musical programs for the community. The first performance will be on Saturday, October 20 at 8:15 PM and will be held in conjunction with the North Carolina Music Teachers Association convention that weekend. Jordan Tang, assistant conductor of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra will make his formal conducting debut with this first chamber program. Pianist Victor Rosenbaum, who is a special guest with the North Carolina Music Teachers Association convention will be the featured guest artist with the Symphony. He will perform Mozart’s ‘‘Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major,” which many will recognize not only as a very familiar piece, but also as the theme from the movie, “Elvira Madigan.” Other selections include Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 1,” Pro kofiev’s “Classical Symphony” (his first), Webern’s “Symphony” (his only symphony), and Rossini’s “Italian in Algiers” Overture. Mr. Rosenbaum is regarded by musi cians and audiences alike as one of the most eloquent and communicative of pianists before the public. A piano stu dent of l^onard Shure and a cum laude graduate of Brandeis University, Rosenbaum’s graduate study was in theory and composition at Princeton University. In 1967, he joined the facul ty of the New England Conservatory and in 1973 became the Chairman of the Conservatory’s Piano Department. He is presently Director of Chamber Music at the Conservatory and this past season was a Visiting Professor of Piano at the Eastman School of Music. In addition to solo recitals, ap pearances with such orchestras as Atlanta and Indianapolis and tours to Brazil and Japan, Rosenbaum is pianist with the Wheaton Trio, has been guest artist with the Vermeer Quartet, and has collaborated with such artists as Roman Totenberg, Scott Nickrenz, I.awrence I>esser, and Leonard Rose.

Scholarship Bank seeks student applications High School and CoUege students who have not received the necessary state or federal funds for continued educa tion are urged to apply to The Scholar ship Bank for private educational fun ding. Working in conjunction with high school and college financial aid counselors. The Scholarship Bank will send students a computer-generated printout of the priyate aid sources that the student appears specifically qualified to receive. According to the director of the search service, private financial aid from corporations, trade groups, and educational and civic foun dations amounts to approximately one fourth of all financial aid available, or a sum of about $500 million dollars. Much private financial aid is based on factors other than need or family income, but on criteria such as major, occupational goal, willingness to enter contests, write essays or take on an internship. The Scholarship Bank has approx imately 25,000 sources of private finan cial aid and will send students a list of 20 to SO names and addresses upon receipt from the student of a question naire. The questionnaire can be ordered fr(»n ’The Scholarship Bank in Los Angeles Garrison grooms them and sends them on By DICK WELSH Suffolk Sun Jim Garrison is a football coach who necessarily teaches the game in a hurry. Time is traditionally his enemy because he has only two seasons to develop a quality player. Chowan College is Garrison’s coaching residence and it has been for 27 years. His goal is not only to win foot ball games but, at the same time, to prepare his players for two more years oi football at a four-year college and possibly for a pro career later. “That’s our whole philsophy here, really, to get them ready for a bigger college and maybe the pros after col lege,” said Garrison. “I’ve been in the game most of my life and I have always loved athletics. Of course, it makes us feel proud to see one of our players go on to a successful career in a major col lege or the pros.” And Garrison, whose teams have had only five losing records in 27 years, keeps close tabs on his Chowan football alumni. He can reel off the ex-Chowan players who have made it in the pro ranks: Jerry Holmes, who went from Chowan to West Virginia, then to the New York Jets and then to Pittsburgh of the United States Football League; Robert Brown, a defensive end Who played at Virginia Tech and Graen Bay; Jody Schultz, a defensive end who was a second-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles three years ago and Is now and outside linebacker; Mike Grant, a linebadeer with the Memphis Showboats of the VSFL; Amos Twitty, a linebacker who went from Chowan to E^t Carolina to the Oklahoma Outlaws; And running back David Green, who was formerly player of the year in the Canadian Football League af Monbeal. He played coUegiately at Edinboro (Pa.) State after leaving Chowan. Garrison launched his 28th season with the Braves on Sept. 8 on the road against the Newport News Apprentice School, which is coached by ex-pro Nor man Snead. Garrison likes the slot I and pro I styles of offense and at quarterback will be either Brian Phillips of Tabb, who sat out last year, or Linnie Mister of Carterett County, N.C. A real sleeper of the Braves may turn out to be Dean Bumbacco, a split end from New Jersey who had signed with the University of Richmond, “But then found out he had come up a bit thin on his college boards and had to go to a junior college,” Garrison said. Bum bacco is 6-foot-2, 185 pounds and runs the 40-yard dash in 4.6 seconds. “He can be a great split end when he gains con fidence.” Sharing the “I” back position will be two second-year men, Miles Gray, 5-9, 180 pounds, from Queen Anne’s Md., and Steve Boyd, 5-11, 205, from Washington, N.C. Both have good speed. Danny Cribbs of Myrtle Beach, will pack his 5-11, 210i>ound frame into the fullback spot. Of the pass receiving corps in general. Garrison says, “We’re in limbo at this stage.” Mark Wells, a 205-pounder from Roanoke, might play tight end and Richard Kershaw of Philadelphia could start at split end. The flanker likely will be Robert Williams, 5-1, 165, from Winston-Salem. Heading up the tackle Morgan An drus of Richmond, guards Charlie Poole and Pearce Neal and center Henry Kennedy of Hampton. Anchoring the defensive line will be a couple of huge tackles, 270-pound Walter Slay of Wilmington, Del., and 240-pound Larry Boone of Conway, N.C. Two other giant linemen figure to see a lot of action on defense, Clayton Cur- reton of Charlotte, who is 6-2 and 275, and 230-pound Domingo Henson of Fayetteville. Coaching a junior college also has its risky side. For instance, Garrison learned a week before practice that the University of Houston had signed Tim Britton, “Just a great linebacker who was going to be the hub of our defense this season. That happens sometimes, but not too often. Most of our players stay here two years before moving on to a bigger schooL” What’s Garrison’s secret to success] “No secret,” he said, “just a lot of hard work.” His Braves have been hard at prac tice since August 5 and there were two big scrimmages against four-year school included in those sessions. Chowan held its own in a scrimmage with Catawba and went up against Elon. Elon, NAIA champion in both 1980 and 1981, is highly rated again this season. “Those two scrimmages should help us tremendously,” said Garrison. “It was a chance to evaluate our team.” The Braves scored two touchdowns to Catawba’s one (in a controlled scrim mage, not a regulation game). “We look pretty good both ways but we did lack-consistency. That’s been one of the big things we’re trying to im prove, our consistency, but we did a lot of things really well against Catawba. And we were able to point out some mistakes to our players so they won’t make them again. Our second offensive unit did a good job for us against Catawba.” Chowan went 7-2 last season, the defeats coming against the No. 1 and No. 5 finishers in the Coastal Con ference, Harford (Md.) College and Nassau (N.Y.) College. The Coastal Conference is rather uni que in that its eight members represent six states—Chowan and Lees-McRae (Banner Elk) in North Carolina, Fer- rum (Virginia), Potcsnac State (West Virginia), Harford (Md.), Wesley (of Dover, Del.) and Nassau and Hudson Valley in New York. Probably the leading freshman can didate is Robert Majette of Norfolk’s Lake Taylor High, who was recruited by several major colleges and had beenheaded for East Carolina until he found that he needed to boost his grades. He’ll be tried at free safety and strong safety, “But he could become a very find wide receiver, too,” said Gar rison. Breaking into the starting secondary won’t be easy for Majette because the Braves are loaded back there. “We should have a very strong secon dary because we have hour outstanding players coming back; Jeff Getghers, Milton Gore, Chris Aikin and Bobby Wright, our free safety,” said Garrison. Summing up, Garrison said, “We feel good about how we have advanced in practice but we’re a fairly young team and most players on our depth chart are freshmen.”
