Rock Musical Auditions
Slated Monday Night
By NANCY KEEN
The rock musical “Godspell” will be
the spring production for Chowan’s
Fine Arts Department.
Auditions for this play are scheduled
for February 9 in Columns Auditorium
at 7 p.m. Performances are scheduled
for April 1-4 to coincide with Campus
Evangelism Week.
“Godspell,” according to drama
advisor Sandra Boyce, is a “beautiful,
modem interpretation of the Gospel
according to St. Matthew a serious pky
that beautifully depicts the last days of
the crucifixion of Christ.”
The production will be a combination
effort of the Fine Arts Department,
with Mrs. Boyce producing, Mrs. Marla
Hunnings choreographing, and Dr.
James Chamblee directing music, with
theological supervision by the
Chaplain’s office.
All person auditioning for parts in
“God^ll” will be asked to sing, as all
roles involve both singing and dancing.
There are ten roles, but twelve actors
will be cast; the two remaining to serve
as understudies. There are a number cf
backstage position to be filled, and Mrs.
Boyce is currently taking auditions for
all positions.
This “fast-paced, emotion-packed
musical” will require more than the
usual rehearsal time because of its
production complexity, Mrs. Boyce
said. Those considering auditioning
should keep in mind that there will be
six weeks of night rehearsing involved.
Some popular songs from the play
include: “Day by Day,” “Turn Back,

A candlelight dinner was served to
Chowan students January 20, during a
blackout caused by a transformer
explosion on Union Street.
The dinner, a buffet, included cold
cuts sliced by the College Inn
Restaurant where the power had been
restored earlier.
In emergencies, the College Inn and
IGA will slice meats for the college, if
they have electricity.
In case of snow, the cafeteria keeps a
week’s supply of canned and frozen
foods on hand, according to Ron
Thompson, cafeteria manager.
In the past years, the College has not
had a badc-up system since the kitchen
has always been 100 per cent electric.
However, a gas stove which is being
installed for everyday use, will be
available in power failure emergencies.
Other new equipment being installed,
according to Th«npson, include a tilt
skillet which will serve as a grill, fry
chicken, and cook stew, and two con
fectionary ovens.

Assistance
In Writing
Available
By EMMA GILES
While some artists literally paint the
fruits of life, others prefer to season the
sauce of survival by spicing our lives
with words of inspiration. One of these
such people is Mrs. Barbara Presnell, a
Developmental Writing course teacher,
here at Chowan.
Basically this course is designed to
help any student having difficulty in the
technical aspects of writing. However,
anyone who has trouble developing
ideas, putting thoughts into words, or
whatever the problem should see Mrs.
Presnell in RM 316.
Students may sign up for a regular
tutoring session or may simply go when
help is needed on a specific problem.
Office hours are as follows:
MWF 10:30-12:30 1:30-3:30
TTh 1:30-3:30
Mrs. Presnell, a native North Caroli
nian, began her study of creative
writing while attending Gilford Tech. in
Greensboro, N.C. She then furthered
her interst in writing by enrolling in a
creative writing course sponsored by
the State Arts Council, called the
“Third Century Artist.”
As a writer, Mrs. Presnell finds her
job to be difficult and trying at times,
yet very rewarding. While enrolled .in
the creative writing course, Mrs.
Presnell had a collection of poems
published and a play produced.
Her advice to aspiring writers is to
“write more and more every single
day. Don’t give up because the more
you write, the better you’ll write.”
So for her future, Mrs. Presnell plans
to write some fiction, plays, short
stories and possibly a novel or two.
Right now her main concern is helping
students acquire and develop writing
skills. So if anyone is having trouble in
writing, please feel free to see Mrs.
Presnell.

Further advice included: “Vengence
doesn’t pay,” “Wise men do not argue
and arguing men are not wise,” “Don’t

say things about others you would not
say to them.
He also advised his listeners “don’t
be afraid of other people, learn how to
interpret body language, talk to others
about themselves, for this is of the
highest interest to them; don’t dwell on

Student Loan (College Foundation,
Inc., VELA, etc.) is not to be reported
on the need analysis form.
Phi Theta Kappa Busy
With Service Projects
Chowan’s chapter of Phi Theta Kap
pa, Iota Delta, is in the process of mak
ing vast improvements. This begins
with the executive officers. Debbie
Gorse — president. Grant Manness —
co-vice-president, Pattie Flemingo-
vice-president, Sharon Banks —
treasurer, and Ann Moseley —
secretary.
The officers meet with their sponsor
Edward Wooten every Friday morning
at 10 to update any PTK matters. The
business meetings for the organizations
are held on the second Monday of each
month.
“Our membership is small, but we
can achieve more with individuals who
are willing to work,” said Debbie
Gorse. There are 31 members at this
time. Induction ceremonies will be
sometime in February.
Iota Delta has held different projects
this year ranging from donut sales to in
volved service projects. Earlier in the
semester Iota Delta had a program in
value-oriented educaton. TTiis was in
accordance with the new honors topic
“Man in Crisis: A Quest Of Values”.
Speakers were Mr. L. M. Wallace, Dr.
Earl Parker, and Mrs. Phyllis Dewar.
Each spoke oiTvalues present in his or
her own area of work.
PTK is presently conducting a ser
vice project with Circle K. Several
members of Iota Delta are tutoring the
children of the Laotian family iiere in
Murfreesboro. Members take time out
from their schedules to go to the home
of the Laotian family to help them in
such study skills as math, English, and
science. “It has been very productive
so far and the children are wonderful to
work with,” said Miss Gorse, who is a
tutor herself. Other tutors are Ann
Moseley, Keith Lawson, Darlene
Keene, Freddie Davis, and Kathy
DeHart.
Future plans for Iota Delta include a
program on drama presented by Mrs.
Sandra Boyce in December, the
regional convention in February, spon
sored by Lees McRae College — Banner
Elk, N.C., and the national convention
in Houston, Texas in March.
The organization is important and the
members should be recognized as some
of the distinguished students at Chowan
College.

work is a reflection of this simplicity.
