The transfer library offers a wide variety of materials uicluding handbooks and guides to four-year coUeges and universities. The center maintains close contact with admissions officers of other institutions, especially those in North Carolina and Virginia. The Career Center can help students to gain direction and ad vice in their choice of employment careers. They offer many files and books with career information and advice. If students are un sure of their choice of career they can take the “Self-Directed Search: A Guide to Education and Vocational Planning” or the “Harrington/O’Shea System for Career Decision-Making”. Counselors are available for personal counseling on any type of concern or problem, such as academic, social, or spiritual con cerns. The Center is under the direction of Mrs. Linda Tripp. The hours of the Counseling and Career Development Center are 8:00-12:00 and 1:00-5:00 Monday thru Friday. , i Waldo’s World By Waldo Tnttte Well gang, we’re back for the new semester and guess what? Parking ticket season has opened again. That darned ole’ parking problem behind Mixon and south of West Hall still has not been fixed. During a word with security, it was discovered that Chowan’s staff felt that fixing this problem was not a very wor thwhile cause. You would think it would be, considering all the money Chowan is forced to take from the students. Just think of all the man hours it takes Chowan security to write those tickets. Staggering, isn’t it? Parking warnings are not painted on the curb and yet we still get tickets. Since there is ample room for two parking spaces, one sunny afternoon the Chowan staff could fund the painting of some parking spaces there. This would make things simpler on the staff and the students. Gosh, that would be nice. I invite members of the college administration to address this problem by perhaps putting a letter in this newspaper. I would really like to know what can be done about this problem and hope to have some answers soon, but until then, happy parking and watch out for those ticket hunters. By the way Warren, I don’t think sliding on the ice and “landing on a bum” is a winter sport yet, and I know the bums don’t like it just one little bit. Landing on a bum, right! Did you ever notice that the newspaper can be boring sometimes? Great, now I sound like Andy Rooney. I think we need to get something exciting in here, something different, something risque’, something real, something like cartoons. What is the first thing you read in the paper at home? You can say it. You, looking around your room, act^g as if it wasn’t really you reading the paper, what do you read first? Yeah, that’s it, cartoons. Why don’t the art students send us some cartoons to put in the paper. Remember now, no sex, no drugs, no alcohol, no foul language; something your Grandnia would be proud of seeing. While you’re at it, why don’t you send me some money? I’m running low. Did you know that if you looked real hard, you can see the reflection of your eye on the lens of your sunglasses? Last semester, some of you had problems knowing where to vent your frustrations about my articles. Some people went to Ms. Paffe, WRONG!! Some people went to other teachers and depart ment heads, wrong again, ^e, the people who have a comments are supposed to write your rebuttal to Box 770. Say, perhaps, you know of something that needs to be changed or there is something that really ticks you off — write to me, Waldo, at Box 770. Any ideas you would l^e to send in would be greatly appreciated. Once again, here is the address to send rebuttals to: Waldo’s World Waldo Tuttle Box 770 Between the Bookends By Sarah Davis Whitaker Library is making more room between the book ends! Your library is currently being renovated in order to make more effi cient use of the space available, thereby giving more room for the ever- expanding book, periodical, microfilm, microfiche, and record collections. The new arrangement also offers more work and study space for students. Upon entering the library, the student is immediately struck by the feeling of spaciousness the new arrangement pro vides. The front area has been com pletely redesigned and rearranged, thus permitting the student easier ac cess to the Circulation and Reference Librarians. Behind the Circulation Desk the Reserve shelves, and microfilm cabinets have been efficiently arranged so that the student workers and the librarians can more easily and quickly find needed materials. Soon to be added are space-saving shelves that will permit all the paper copies of periodicals to be housed on the main floor. When a student wishes to check the sports section of yesterday’s News and Observer, he no longer need wait for someone to disappear into the basement to find the paper for him. What has been a five minute expedition to nether regions should now be a thirty-second journey in view of the stu dent. Other changes on the main floor in clude the rearrangement of the card catalog, microfilm and microfiche readers, and copy machine. Certain • reference books and the college catalog collection have also been moved. While these changes are very obvious to the student, other, not-so-visible work is also being done. The bottom floor is being completed, and when it is finished, part of the book collection will ■ be housed there. There will also be study areas. All these changes are designed to help the Chowan student. For instance, it now requires fewer than half the steps to come from the copy machine to the main desk than it did previously. So...if you need change while making copies, you can get the change more quickly, make your copies more quick ly, and have more time for studying. If you have trouble finding something, as always, ASK FOR HELP. The librarians will be happy to assist you, and it is easier for them to help you this semester. Come check out the space and what’s filling it — between the book ends! Play Auditions for: South Pacific — Monday, February 16 at 6 pm — Columns Auditorium Come with a prepared song and participate in audition scenes with others. Needed: 12 men and 10 women Many crew positions available—Everyone welcome! Tutoring Well, that will do it for this time, fellow campers. Remember, here at Camp Chowan, Boredom is just a way to pass the time bet ween classes. —Editor’s Note— Waldo’s World is written by a member of the Smoke Signals staff. For the most part, it is presented in its original, unedited form. It is a column expressing one man's thoughts and opinions and is intended to provoke yours. Occasionally, changes must be made in the articles, a process overseen by myself. However, I try to make as few changes as possible to protect the feelings and intentions of the author. - , By Martin Clemons Since the beginning of the school year Chowan has furnished a free of charge tutoring service for any Chowan stu dent needing assistance in a course. Well, they need your help. They are looking for more tutors in the fields of Math, English, Religion, and Physics. Tutoring is a part of the work study pro gram and does not take too much of your time. In order to qualify you must have a “B” average or better in the course of which you want to tutor. non s zi .S Tutoring is done in group sessions and the schedule is set up according to the tutor’s schedule. Upward Bound even has a program which they call" Crisis” tutoring for students who only want session before an important test or an EXAM. All tutoring sessions are held in Camp Hall — Room 101.

Two-Year Teaching Grant Program North Carolina is having more and more difficulty filling teaching posi tions in “hard-to-find” teaching areas such as math and science. With the growing importance people are placing on education as the key to a strong state economy, the North Carolina General Assembly has created a two-year finan cial award program for students enter ing their junior year of college who are majoring in one of those high demand areas and who would agree to teach for at least three years in North Carolina. The awards will grant $4,000 per year to college sophomores who win a statewide competition for the grants. The grant will total $8,000 and can be applied toward schooling at any one of 44 colleges in North Carolina offering teacher training. Teaching: A Career For The Future College students looking at career op tions should consider the positive aspects of teaching. The number of students enrolling in grades K-12 is on an upswing and will continue to in crease for years to come. That, coupled with an ambitious program aimed at lowering class sizes and providing bet ter education, means jobs should be available to education graduates. Second, because the competition for college graduates has grown more in tense, the State has increased teaching salaries more than 30 percent in the last three years, and study after study calls for further increases in salaries. Finally, teaching is one of the few careers that offers free summers. Dur ing the months of July and August, s(«ne teachers return to college for graduate studies, others travel and still others simply use the time for vacation ing and family. The prospect of higher salaries, freedom during the summer months and good employment possibilities of fer a career option wortti considering.
