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. 1976-1977 Chowan College Wrestling Schedule Nov 4 Blue-White entra-squad Match 700 p.m Nov. 12-13 Monarch Open Away AJI Day Nov. 19 Aggie Open Away All Day Nov 23 Richmond.

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 Chowan Stage Band 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 the Albemarle an 83-82 win over the Chowan braves Wednesday, February 2 in the Chowan gym.

The game was close the remainder of the half with Chowan gaining the biggest lead of 6 points and a 39-38 halftime edge.

The sign renninds people to keep their heating thernnostats set at 65 degrees. 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!

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.
