Annual Giving Fund Goal
Setting Record Pace
Chowan College advisors were told
the college is setting a record pace in
pursuit of its 1976-77 Annual Giving
Fund goal of $75,000, during their recent
meeting in the office of Chowan
President Bruce E. Whitaker.
H. L. Evans, Jr., of Murfreesboro, the
campaign chairman, said over $56,000
has been raised through gifts and
pledges. He said this is over $18,000
more than the amount raised at the
same time last year. The 1975-76 Annual
Giving Fund goal was $67,500 and
Chowan had received $38,000 by the end
of January, 1976.
Evans thanked the advisors for their
si^port, both through their own con
tributions and contacts with potential
donors. He asked advisors to help the
college receive an additional $19,(K)0 by
May 31 in order to reach the goal. He
explained the $75,000 is a budgeted
source of income and Chowan needs to
raise that amount to operate in the
black for the 19th straight year.
Director of Development Bobby
cross said Chowan’s emphasis on
memorial giving opportunities is
meeting wide acceptance. The
program, called “Bountifully Sow —
Bountifully Reap,” includes gift op
portunities through the Book of
Memory and planned giving by wills
and trusts.
Cross said gifts to the Book of
Memory provide a “living memorial”
and are a “vital investment in Christian
higher education and the future of
young people.”
He said that Christians have the
responsibility to be “good stewards of
their possessions.” He said this in
cludes the causes individuals support in
their wills. Dean of Students cjayton
Lewis reported Chowan enrolled a full
time equivalency of 929 students during
the sjx'ing semester. He said this
number was in line with expectations.
Chowan’s chaplain, Dr. R. Hargus
Taylor, secretary of the Long Range
Planning Committee, reviewed the
work accomplished to date by the
committee. He noted that revisions in
the campus “map” are ready for
submission to the firm of J. B. Godwin
and Associates, Raleigh. He said the
question is yet to be resolved as to
i^ether the text of the current Long
Range Master Plan should be revised
with the insertion of new materials, or
vrtiether a complete re-writing of the
text is in order.
Dean of the College B. Franklin
Lowe, Jr., told the advisors “the
progress on the self-study is on
schedule. Most major committees have
virtually completed their work. The
steering committee is continuing to
evaluate the various committee
reports,” he said.
Lowe reported that “within the next
few weeks the editor will begin work on
pulling all the reports together into a
uiified, systematic self-study report.
The report will be published during the
summer of 1977 and we expect a visit
from the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools in the early fall
semester of 1977 leading to the reaf
firmation of accreditation.”
Chowan’s academic dean explained
that all accredited institutions must
have their accreditation reaffirmed
every 10 years. The accreditation of
Chowan was last reaffirmed in 1968.
Under the leadership of advisor
chairman, Dr. Herman Melvin Kunkle
of Portsmouth, Va., advisors discussed
the need for a new gymnasium -
physical education facUity at Chowan.
Members said the current gym is not
adequate to handle the many demands
made on it from a student body of
Chowan’s size. They also expressed the
opinion a new facility would help the
college in its recruitment of desirable
students.
Dr. Kunkle welcomed new members
of the Board of Advisors: Mrs. Nancy
T. Lewis of Gatesville, L. Lee Boykin, a
Chowan alumnus, of Laurens, S. C., and
James P. Stephenson of Portsmouth,
Va., also attending his first meeting.
Stephenson is also a Chowan alumnus.
Two other new members. Dr. Glenn
A. Kiser of Blowing Rock and Marshall
J. Frank of Blacksburg, Va., were
unable to attend the meeting.

Whitakers Entertain
Honor Students
By NANCY SULLIVAN
On Febuary 2, 1977 in the home of
President and Mrs. Whitaker, a
reception was held in honor of the
college’s honor students. These honor
students, freshmen and sophomores,
were found on three different lists.
These list are the President’s List, the
Dean’s List and the Honor’s List. This
reception is held on an annual basis.
The reception line held all the heads
or chairmen of each academic
department as well as Dean Lowe,
Dean Lewis, Dean and Mrs. Winslow,
and last but not least President and
Mrs. Whitaker
This reception was held to prove that
Chowan cares about those that try to
better themselves in accordance to
academic standards, but that doesn’t
mean that it over looks those that

My Lady Blue
By PAM OWENS
Countless days I’ve spent
by the sea
Singing fragmented lyrics
of what I’ve hoped to be.
That ’ole Lady Blue
she really cares;
Listening to my discontent
tho somehow, always there.
Today she knew I was lonely,
As I approached her waters slowly:
She reached out her hand
and swept me away from the land.,
from which I sto^...
My Lady held me;
Wrapped her misty blue body
around mine.
And drowned me in her love.
Now my Lady Blue,
I’ll always be with you—
Together, we’ll always be the tide
that the surfers catch;
and ride.
Giving way to the setting,
golden sun;
Watching lovers: knowing we’ve
finally won...
A 20-foot jump shot by Lee Pritchard
with 4 seconds left gave the College of

Chowan braves Wednesday, February 2

cannot excel in academic standing,
fteceptions of all types are held for
different types of situations.
A lot of people complain about having
to attend these “dumb receptions,” but
they are given to help the student body.
There are a lot of things in life that one
must accept even though he or she may
not want to. These receptions are fun.
They provide a means of fellowship
with those you may not see every day.
The reception given in honor of honor
students, gave the ones that made it a
chance to see who else made it. The
reception gave a chance for bragging
about your grades or anything else. The
highlight of the evening was to see one
of the female business teachers climb
aboard an exercise bicycle in a long
dress! See it is not all business!

Carowinds
Auditions Are This Month
CHARLOTTE — In a drive to recruit
more than 350 talented high school and
college students, the live shows staff of
Carowinds and two other major theme
parks will be holding special auditions
in the Carolinas early next month.
Dave Burns, Carowinds’ manager of
Live Shows, said the first audition will
be held at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill on Feb. 8 from 2
to 8 p.m.
Other auditions are: Feb. 9, UNC-
Greensboro, 2-8 p.m.; Feb. 10, North
Carolina School of the Arts, Winston-
Salem, 6-10 p.m.; and Feb. 11, Furman
University, Greenville, S.C., 2-8 p.m.
Auditions at the theme park itself will
be held on Feb. 12 and 13 from noon to 8
p.m.
Representatives from Kings Island,
Cincinnati, and Kings Dominion, Rich
mond, Va., sister parks of Carowinds,
will be at the auditions to also search
for talent for their respective parks.
Nearly 100 student performers will be
hired for Carowinds.
“We are looking for musicians,
singers, dancers, actors and stage
technicians,” Burns said. “Most of the
stage show positions require a dancer
who has had some vocal training.
However, dancers without voice
training and speciality groups, like
dance groups and mime troups, should
attend the auditions.”
All auditions will be limited to three
minutes.
Burns said all musical groups, like
Bluegrass, rock, and Dixieland bands
and barbershop quartets and country-
western groups should send in
formation about the group and a
sample tape recording to Kings
Productions, 1906 Highland Ave.,
Cincinnati, Ohio 45219.
Stage technicians should also send a
resume to the Cincinnati office. Bums
said.
The Carowinds theme park is located
south of Charlotte, N.C., along 1-77 at
the North Carolina-South Carolina state
line.
