C., was elected president of the S.G.A. in elections held prior to Easter vacation. *Lee, who also is the freshman class president for this semes ter, was very instrumental in tne organization of the Mixon Hall Dance and now is turning 5ll his efforts to the upcoming Spring Festival and to the job o^reorganizing the S.G.A. for next fall. Clarence Ashley Griffin from Clinton, N. C., and a graduate of Hargrave Military Academy, Chatham, Va., was elected vice- president. While a student at Hargrave, Clarence, better Icnown to stu dents here as Bucky, held these offices: Staff Sergeant, “D” Company, Head N.C.O. of “A” Barracks, and co-captain, var sity “B” football. Here at Chowan Bucky has put his talents to good use. He is Mixon Hall president, S.G.A. senator, chairman of Rat Sys tem Committee, Student-Faculty Relations Commitee, and his is also on the Housing Committee. Part of Bucky’s most powerful and well-written speech is as follows: “For dreams to turn into real ities, it takes work and deter- Imination . . and desire. I will work ... I have the determina tion . . . and most important I have desire to help better this college for you. I need your help and support . . We should not dream just small dreams, but take upon ourselves great enter prises." Carolyn Fay Brinkley from Corapeake, N. C., was elected S.G.A. secretary. Before coming to Chowan, Carolyn worked as a receptionist for a C.P.A. for three yeras. Since becoming a Chowan stu dent, Carolyn has been elected vice-president of College Street Hall and vice-president of Alpha Pi Epsilon. To this new office of secretary of our SG.A., it is felt by many that by her own experience in today’s business world and her eagerness to work that Miss Brinkley will be an outstanding office holder. Lonnie “Pete” Sykes, son of son of Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Sykes, of Norfolk, Va., was named S. G.A. treasurer after an un contested election. Pete brings many qualifica tions with him to this new office. He was president of his pep club, vice-president of Art Club, treasurer of Art Club, a mem ber of the S.G.A., and a member of the Debate Team. Since coming to Chowan, he has been elected or appointed to the annual staff and treasurer of the freshman class. With his maturity and ability to handle money, we did wise in electing him. Mary Melinda Ritchie, a grad- ■ 1 ^ Different type of flag There seemed to be a little bit of “prankmanship” at work the weekend before Easter. It seems that some fun loving souls rased a trash can to full mast above the Columns Building, much to the dismay of Mr. Hassell. As if this wasn’t enough, Mr. Hassell found a cannon in West Hall lobby. Don’t ask how it got there. Mr. Hassell playing along decided to give the trash can flag a seven gun salute. Saturday morning, several hundred students got a “boom” of a surprise at 8:30. uate of Asheboro High School in Asheboro, N. C., is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Ritchie, was elected female social co- chairman for S.G.A. , Here at Chowan, she holds such offices as secretary of the freshman class and dorm offi cer. With her knowledge of stu dent gripes and their feelings about school policies, she should fit well into her office. On the political rally held on Thursday before election day in Squirrel Park, out of all the stu dent body present, there were only about 30 students. This re porter did not see even one fa culty member. Only about 400 students voted for candidates on election day. What in the worl(^ is the matter—don’t we care at all?

Letting all your call-downs carry over to the next semester but charging five dollars each semester for car registration. 2. Students who are charged with a dorm damage bill for such things as spraying snow flakes on the window, or pin holes in the ceiling tile. 3. Students who steal the let ters from the brick entrance. 4. Professors that teach straight out of the book with a monotone voice for added mis ery. 5. The “deaf ears” who sit in the constructive committees of this school and do nothing but fill a seat. 6. People who are willing to spend rhoney to decorate their rooms only to find that upon returning from vacation that it was done in vain. 7. The friendly people in town who are anxious to take your money but shun your checks. 8. Wearing out two pairs of trousers a week showing your I. D. card. 9. Our concerned dorm moth ers that set the dorm clocks five minutes ahead of time. 10. Faculty members' that start their classes five minutes before the scheduled time and end the class five minutes over time. 11. People who are enthusicas- tic about being elected to an of fice but do not show up for the meetings. 12. Professors who claim to be unbiased towards their students but are bias in their grading. Respectively, Hank Windley J I Miss Candice Wood (in uniform), medical secretarial graduate from Chowan College in '68, and now employed in the Department of Pathology at Norfolk General, aids internees Elizabeth Livingston and Faye Hansley during their training in her department. Nine Chowan students end intern training It happens every spring ... And such scenes are not difficult to find on campus at other seasons of the year. Since these two students weren’t aware of the camera’^s presence, we won’t mention names, but he was a prominent figure on the gridiron, and she was an ever-present cheerleader on the sidelines. Chowan College has a unique and challenging program in the Medical Secretarial Curriculum. The program, designed for the student who has fulfilled two ye.ars of academic work at Cho wan, enables that student to put into practice the skills she has developed during her work at Chowan, both in the Secre tarial and Medical Fields. After completion of her two years’ work at Chowan, she may elect to complete her nine- months’ Internship at one of the following hospitals: DUKE UNI VERSITY MEDICAL CENTER, Durham, North Carolina; NOR FOLK GENERAL HOSPITAL, Norfolk, Va.; LOUISE OBICI HOSPITAL, Suffolk, Virginia. Nine girls, who will complete their Internship in May and re ceive an Associate Degree in Medical Secretarial Adminis tration from Chowan College and a Professional Certificate from the Interning Hospital, are lo cated in the affiliated hospitals: Rebecca Jean Baggett and Doris Anne Ricks at DUKE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CEN TER; Emily Faye Hanelsy and Elizabeth Ladd Livingstone at NORFOLK GENERAL; Mary Jo and Jackie Presley at LOUISE OBICI HOSPITAL; and Cherry Whitney, Betty True Greene and Nellie Amanda Bartlett at PITT COUNTY. Although the majority of their time at the hospitals is spent in the Medical Records Depart ment, Interns may be assigned work in the Admitting and Out patient Departments, X-Ray and Electrocardiography Depart ments, Pathology and Psychia try Departments, Emergency Room, and Private Doctors Off ice. In return for their services, Interns receive room and board provided by the hos pitals and-or adequate stipends. Student nurses attend meeting in Wilson On Thursday night, March 20, eleven members of the Chowan Student Nurse Association at tended the district meeting in Wilson, N. C. At this meeting elections were held for 1969-70, Chowan emerging victorious twice! Mrs. Sarah Tankard, the Cho wan SNA advisor, was elected district adviser and Libby House won the office of corresponding secretary. Chowan’s nursing program is still relatively new, and this is the first time the school has ever held a district office. On March 21-22, Mr. atld Mts. Bobby Tankard accompanied several of the student nurses to the state convention in Wins ton-Salem. The meeting on Fri day night consisted of a banquet, a guest speaker and a business session. On Saturday morning all of tht delegates, attired in his or her school uniform (there were quite a few male nurses) attended thfc; final business meeting. The con vention proved to be most inspir ing and stimulating. From left to right, medical secretarial interns at Norfolk General, Elizabeth Livingston and Faye Hansley, meet at break time in the lounge with medical secretarial grad uates from Chowan College Arlene Barton, Joyce Hardee, and Candice Wood, who accepted positions in the Depart ment of Pathology at Norfolk General after completing their internship there. Interns find Norfolk General a de lightful place to intern. Oh my, something ripped: But Coach Hawkins’ catcher is oblivious of this minor pro blem as he watches the incoming fast ball from the mound.
