Page 4—Smoke Signals, Wednesday, February 13, 1973 'Charley's Aunt' Slated Feb. 22 PROFESSOR ROBERT MULDER Mulder is Prepared Well In Music, English Fields A drama called by the director “one of the most successful plays in all theatrical history,” CHARLEY’S AUNT by Brandon Thomas, will be presented at Chowan College February 22, 23 at 8:15 p.m. in McDowell Columns audkorium. “The production will be cast entirely by members of the Chowan College faculty,” remarked Professor Steve Brannon, director, who heads Chowan’s division of drama, sponsor of the play. “From the day of its opening in London in 1892, there has hardly ever been a day when some group somewhere over the globe wasn’t performing “Charley’s Aunt”— either in English or in almost any other language you can name,” Brannon said. Dr. Hargus Taylor, chaplain of the college, will play the leading role, “a part which many of the greatest actors of the stage and screen have appeared in various productions of “Charley’s Aunt” down through the years,” Brannon noted. “The original star in 1892 was W. S. Penley, most famous English comedian of his day; and others who have followed Penley in the role are Jack Benny, Jose Ferrer, Charles Ruggles, John Mills, Syd Chaplin, Ray Bolger, and many, many more,” the director added. Brannon said those who have been cast in “important sup porting roles” are professors merv Sessoms, English; Ken Proctor, chairman of the English department; Mrs. Phyllis Dewar, and James Dewar, science; Dr. Earl Parker and Mrs. Esther Whitaker, religion; Mrs. Betty ByD. H. NICHOLSON With this Spring semester and its varied conunitments pretty much established facts for most of us here at Chowan College, it was felt that, perhaps, this column should be devoted for a while to some definitive statements relative to problems of an academic nature of par ticular interest to the Chowan student. One of the first of these problems to which every student must address himself early in his college career is that concerning academic requirements for continued enrollment. As most students may already know, every college or university must have some stated minimal requirements for continued enrollment in good academic standing. What the preceding means is that every institution of higher education should have a clearly defined policy whereby the student must earn a minimum number of credit hours and or a minimum number of quality points in any one academic term of regular or full time attendance in order to be considered in good academic standing and, therefore, eligible to continue his enrollment or tenure in subsequent terms as a regular full-time student not on any form of academic probation. Of course, this requirement for continued enrollment will vary from in stitution to institution and, in deed, can vary within an in stitution such as a mega- Batchelor, English and Ach Harden, math; and the associate dean of students for women, Vicki Tolston. Assisting Brannon as members of the technical staff will be the students enrolled in the ^ama - program at Chowan College. Admission is $1.50 for adults and $.55 for students. Chowan students will be admitted by ID cards. Unusual Mail RIVERTON, Wyo. (AP) — Postmaster Dick Hays said his employes didn’t quite know what to do when they dis covered an unusual package in a collection box. The “package” was an egg — unwrapped but with a stamp and address on it. Hays said the egg, which had no return address, couldn’t be sent as was because it wasn’t packaged properly. BRAVES LOSE TO LOUISBURG, 82-57 By LINWOOD LEWIS The Braves, who traveled to Louisburg, saw why Ron Davis is third in the nation in scoring. The Braves lost 82-57 and Ron Davis of Louisburg scored 43 points. While Chowan shot poorly the first half, they could never retain control of the game. Keith McClearn and Pat Callahan led the Braves in scoring with 10 points apiece, followed by John Byrd and James Soard with 8 points. James Soard and Keith McClearn also grabbed 10 and 8 rebounds respectively. university made up of many colleges or professional schools, each with its own somewhat autonomous governing unit which tends to preclude a university-wide categorical standardization of a continued enrollment requirement. However, even within the preceding colleges and professional schools, there will be a defined standard, and it is still the student’s responsibility to know it. Chowan College has a well- defined standard for continued enrollment, and it is also the Chowan student’s responsibility to know it. For the student who is being graded on the 4.0 grading system (this is, for the student who has first entered Chowan College since June, 1971 and attempted college credit work), he must earn a minimum of 9 semester hours and 18 quality points for each and every semester in regular or full-time attendance in order to continue in good academic standing the next semester in regular attendance. The preceding means that the student, therefore, needs to earn a minimum of 18 semester hours and 36 quality points for two succesive semesters in full-time attendance here at Chowan College in order to be able to continue in good standing or to be eligible for honorable dismissal should he desire to transfer to another institution. If the student does not earn the above prescribed minimums, he must By HUNTER GISH Many times in the life of a person he stops to evaluate himself and the life he has ex perienced. How many people are truly satisfied with their lives when they have evaluated and drawn a conclusion. Mr. Robert G. Mulder of Chowan College’s English Department is a person who could truly be satisfied with the accompli^ments and ex periences of his life. Mr. Mulder is the home town boy who grew up to make good. then return to one of the summer programs here at Chowan to make up his deficiencies so that he can enroll for a third full-time semester of work or so that he can be eligible for honorable dismissal, the latter designation being necessary to facilitate transfer to another institution of higher education. Admittedly, the above paragraphs are only attempts to summarize requirements which can become involved to ad minister with equity. However, the preceding paragraphs should help the student to realize his obligations here at Chowan College for a successful and rewarding educational ex perience. If there are further questions about the preceding points, the Chowan student should feel free to contact his academic advisor or a member of the ad ministration. It is the college student’s responsibility to know his academic status at all times, no matter what institution he attends. Along the already-introduced academic lines or concerns, the next issue of this column will apply itself to the transcript. What is it? How is it used by the senior college or university admissions counselor and by an employer? What does it indicate about the student? Is it forever? Read this column in the next issue of Smoke Signals for some answers! He was born in neighboring Northampton County and lived there through finishing his secondary education at Woodland High School. He began his college education here at Chowan and was the first resident of Mixon Hall in 1954. From Chowan he went on to finish college and obtain his degree from East Carolina University. Mr. Mulder took his graduate work at University of Mississippi, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Richmond, obtaining majors in both Music and English. Being broadly educated, Robert Mulder stepped into the expanding world of financial support, shortly procurring his first job as Band Director in a high school in Charlotte, North Carolina. He taught there for two years before moving to Rose High School in Greenville, North Carolina to further the English training of the students awaiting him. Having had enough of secon dary education Mr. Mulder decided he was ready to progress into the collegiate world. Gard- ner-Webb College provided his first experience as a college professor. He taught at Gardner- Webb until he came to teach at Chowan, where he found his place in the academic society of his alma mater. Though he is accomplished in the field of education, this does not occupy all of his time. Mr. Mulder has provided leadership for the Chovjan Motor Car Club through its entire existence, plus writing his column for the newspaper for the past five years. ^ his interests in the life of the students he teaches and encounters on campus do not previal only in the classroom. Away from school activities he has been musical and tribal director for boys at Camp Sequoyah in the North Carolina mountains for the past eight suiimiers. Not letting talents go to waste, Mr. Mulder has been playing the organ in chapel assemblies, on Saturday evenings providing entertainment for people at the Village Squire and as Minister of Music at the Colerain Baptist Church in Colerain, North Carolina for the past seven years. Ifis rewarding ability to express himself obtains release in his writing as well as his music. He has had articles recently published in “Choral Overtones,” “The Church Musician” and “Animal Lovers Magazine,” the latter of which appeared in Smoke Signals last month in his column Literary Musings. Besides magazine articles he has had two short stories published in “Discovery” and the “Scholastic Magazine.” The height of his literary aspirations though, has been the publication of his books The Shepherd Who Stayed Behind, a collection of Christmas poetry and The Tenor of My Song a collection of love sonnets. Both books are available in the college book store. The latest and the greatest of Mr. Mulder’s trials and tribulations has rewarded him with the expectation of being a father come March. SHORTS SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — At least four plumbers who work for the city water department will earn more than the general manager’s $35,000 salary in 1972, according to a grand jury. The jurors recommended Monday a re-evaluation of over time and working conditions of craftsmen to prevent an em ploye’s wages from exceeding those of the general manager or assistant general manager. SAN DIEGO, Calif. (AP) — A southern white rhino, one of only five born in captivity, has died of a bacterial condition in the heart alves. The 200-pound rhino, which died Monday, was ill since' birth last Dec. 14. KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Officials of the West Knox County Utility District have de cided to give their patrons 20 days instead of 10 to pay their bills without a penalty. The decision was announced Monday in letters sent to the district's customers. The letters explain that "a seemingly increasing deteriora tion of the mail service" has caused delivery of many bills too late for the customers to pay before the deadline even when the bills are deposited in time for early delivery.
