Tan Slowly To Avoid Blistering By MARIE ELUOTT Associate Director of Health Services From opinions that I have heard ex pressed it seems that young adults ac cept' advice from friends more than from any other source. If this is true, then I certainly wish that I could be con sidered your best friend right now. The reason is that it will soon be sun tan season. I have some important ad vice about sunburn and how to avoid severe bum while getting the desired tan. Sunburn is undesirable because it can be very painful. No one wants to see a friend suffer pain. Sunburn is also undesirable because, according to an American Cancer Society film, it could cause skin cander. That film pointed out that most skin cancer occurred among people who work outdoors and that most of these cancers were on the face or other ex posed skin areas. Now who would want a friend to have cancer? The best way to get a good suntan that will last all summer is to begin very^ slowly. Begin with a very few minutes on each side the first day. Then add a few minutes to the exposure time each day until you have a nice tan. The middle of the day is not a good time to begin your tan. Morning or later in the afternoon is better. If you do get a sunburn with blisters you will have to wait for the area to heal and then start your slow tanning pro cess all over. So do be careful. A good commercial product can help you in obtaining a good tan safely. Be sure to use the correct one for your needs. Your pharmacist can best ad vise you about that. Now do get a nice tan, slowly, so that you can enjoy a trip to the beach later without fear of getting a terrible sun burn. Return and tell me about the fun.

During the past few months, different organizations, clubs and conunittees along with the Student Government Asociation, have devoted much time and energy toward planning activities for the upcoming Spring Festival- Parent’s Day on April 24. Beginning at 9:45 a.m., there will be a registration for parents which students are encouraged to register and attend along with their parents. The registra tion will take place on Pine Walk, followed by a reception on the lawn of the President’s home. In case of rain, the registration and reception will be in McDowell Columns. Immediately following the reception, Colin Steele, director of student ac tivities, is sponsoring a Campus car nival in Squirrel Park. The Carnival will consist of many different student- oriented activities and a demonstration of the potter’s wheel by art students. For the musically inclined, music will be provided by Vic Clairborn and the Sound Masters.

The contestants will be rated by five judges and can acquire a total of 10 points in each category. The con testants receiving the highest total scores will then be declared Queen and Princess.

COLLINS Director of Financial Aid The editor of the Smoke Signals re quested that I write an article on the ef fects the federal budget cuts will have on financial aid. I am unable to write such an article because I do not know what the cuts will be. The federal budget for 1982 has not been completed. Therefore, we do not know how much will be available in 1982-83. The president has presented to Con gress his budget request for 1983 (school year 1983-84). The president’s Truest would reduce student financial aid by 50% in 1983-64. The reductions for 1982-83 would be approximately 15%. You can have an effect on the cuts. The budgets ?re not in place. If you must have financial assistance to at--- tend college, you should write your con- Less Words Imply More, „Poet Feels By JENNIFER WICKER An intense desire to communicate well drives poet Don Alspaugh to write. “I feel that it is very difficult to com municate well, and poetry to me is us ing the least amount of words to imply the most,” Alspaugh remarked after his reading in the Marks Hall Auriitorium February 16. He feels that we have an inflation of words and that we should exercise an economy of words when we write or speak, adding that newpapers and bad ly written literature are the worst culprits. Alspaugh is a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, and he holds a degree in English. “I was booted out of several schools before I sort of settled into VCU. I never wanted to be anything really, but just here, and sometimes I didn’t want to exist at all,” he confessed. “I’ve always had a feeling of being trapped in my own mind, and my book. Everything Dark is a Doorway, tries to convey that feeling and it is a statement of man’s will to overcome that which is dark,” he added. He likes to give poetry readings, stating that, “I was read to when I was little, and I see it as a kind of love and sharing.” Asplaugh often uses extremely clear images of violence in his poetry, and his reasons for this are “to make the beautiful seem even more beautiful, I purposefully create extremes.” gressman and senators and urge them to put financial aid in the budget at this year’s amount. Tell them how much you receive. Tell them what your family’s income is. Tell them how many people are dependent upon your parent’s income. ONLY YOU CAN KEEP FINANCIAL AID FUNDS FROM BEING REDUCED. Encourage your congressman and senators to get on with the 1982 budget. Colleges will not know how much money they have for 1982-83 until the 1982 budget is passed. Neither can the Pell (Basic) Grant payment schedule be produced without a budget. Guaranteed Student Loan (VELA, CFT, etc.) appUcations cannot be printed before the budget is finalized. It is time for you to think about ways you can help yourself in 1982-83. Find a summer job. Don’t wait, start looking now. Go to the Ubrary and look at the reference books on financial aid to see if you can get a scholarship or grant. File your FFS. Youmustdomoreforyourself!!

Offices which will be filled are presi dent, vice president, secretary, treasurer, social co-chairman for men and women and auditor GUEST PERSPECTIVE^ By JANE ROUSSY Columns Resident Director There’s nothing to do! How many times have you heard this around cam pus? The sad part of it all is that there are so many educational and social events being presented every week by your very own Dorm. Every semester each Dorm is responsible for at least one Weekend Activity, a Monday Night Series, and Anything Goes. The Dorm in charge goes through the trouble and time of presenting an event they feel most College students would enjoy but find out differently about Chowan College students. Is it that you don’t feel you need to better yourself by attending the educa tional activities or is it that you don’t like the other students so you don’t try to socialize? Just what is the problem? Please speak out to your Resident Director or Dorm Council on what you want to see and do here at Chowan. Search (Continued from Page 1) Winslow conceded that overzealous workers sometimes take it upon themselves to go beyond their actual authority in searching rooms. . ? “Forex“ainple, if we hada'calewlatcr removed from Marks Hall, room 304, a description would be sent to me along with a roster of students whose rooms, if probable cause were found, might be searched. An overzealous worker might take the list and without probable cause search all the rooms on the list. “If an employee of the college wer^ to overstep his bounds, that would be grounds for his dismissal at the ver/ worst, but the situation would not go un noticed, he would definitely be disciplined. However, I don’t think this would occur on campus,” Winslow declared. “I’ve never faced that situation. In other words, I don’t think anybody in our situation would take it upon himself to start searching rooms; and if something illegal were found, I don’t know what would happen. The entire situation would have to be considered.” Watch for Our Grand Opening! Milton's Pizza (Old King's Landing Restaurant) VILLAGE BOOTERY Shoes for every occasion.
