'‘According to the stu dents, he was just walking around with the chicken, ex plaining things like what hap- p^s if you attend class out of uniform, when all of a sudden he extended the neck of the diiden and bit it off,” Taylor says. Then, as horrified students looked on, Powell held the; chicken up over his head and let i the blood njn into his mouth. “I was shocked and dis gusted when I heard about It later that afternoon,” Taylor says. "I checked all the facts and concluded that there was absolutely no justification for what had been done, and that it simply could not be tolerated." The following morning Taylor rnet with university officials and decided to relieve Ppwel) of his teaching post and realigning him to nearby K.l. Sawyer Air Force Base. "Nobody had any know ledge this thing was going to happen,” Taylor explains.

As a team we really played together. Our sen/ing was impeccable. Nancy Rat cliff, a sophomore, middle hitter, played her best game ever. She was all over the court and her spiking was un believable,” s£dd Coach Marie Chamblee. After losing three straight, the team is back on the road to success. This past weekend they won tt>e Seven Hills in vitational Tournament winning all four matches. They defeated Roanoke and Randolph Macon Women's Colleges In three games, and took Fernjm and Lynchburg Colleges In two games. Paulina Leroux and Grace Akers set extremely well, ac cording to Coach Chamblee. "This really gives our team a lift. The setters are the key to getting agood hitting game and they really came through this weekend.” Ginger. Ratcliff and Lynn Ward hit extremely well. Daltnda and Paulina's serving was especially strong. Susan Beck, a freshman, has good de fensive skills, and really helped the defensive game. Drs.
