Income tax information
made available to students
Scholarships and fellowships might
be taxable on your income tax return.
Since August 1986, part or all of each
might be taxed as income. See
Publication 520, “Scholarships and
Fellowships” for further details.

employer. When completing the Form
W-4, remember that if you can be
claimed as a dependent on another per-
son’s tax return, you generally cannot
be exempt from income tax
withholdings. To learn more, read the

Students who had no tax liability for

withholding during 1990 may qualify
Jennifer Hyatt is building a career
on the merchandise management
degree she received from Chowan
College in May of this year.
Hyatt is department manager for
coats and dresses at Hess’s department
store in Greenbrier Mall in
Chcsepeake, Va. She returned recent
ly to Chowan to speak to merchandise
management students at the invitation
of Professor Elaine Casmus, who
heads the program sponsored by the
Department of Busmess
Hyatt said her classrixim instruction
and hands-on experiences in
Chowan’s merchandise management
program prepared her for her various
duties as a department manager. She
supervises the work of three co
workers with a fourth to be added
soon. She is responsible for counting
in and displaying the clothes in the
floor. Her area includes Misses and
Mrs. coats and dresses. Petit World,
Women’s World, and Maternity.
The 1989 Chowan graduate said her
associate’s degree opened the door to
“the best job I ever had.”
She said she draws help daily from
the management class she took under
Casmus. “The class emphasized being
positive in dealing with those you
supervise. 1 find this approach to be
very helpful.”
She said Hess’s gives its employees
an opportunity for rapid advancement.
She said she is pleased that Hess’s pro
motes from within. She has applied for
the company’s Retail Academy in
Allentown, Pa., Hess’s headquarters.
The former Chowan cheerleader
said the academy prepares employees
for positions as buyer and merchandise
coordinator. She said this can lead to
positions as assistant store manager
and merchandise manager, and even
tually to store manager. She explained
the academy lasts from two to six
months depending on the company’s
evaluation of the student’s progress.
The recent Chowan graduate said a
1988 merchandise management
graduate, Tammy Manteo, is manager
of the lingerie department at Hess’s of
Tower Mall, Portsmouth, Va.
Chowan College pays tribute
to ratification of Constitution
By Karen Uherti
The administration, faculty and
students will congregate on November
16, 1989, to commemorate the 200th
anniversary of the ratification of the
United States Constitution. The
ratification occurred on November 21,
1789, by a vote of a six-day state con
vention The activities on Ratification
Day are spon.sored by student develop
ment at Chowan. Clayton Lewis,
Dean of Students, is the organizer of
this event.
Part one of the ceremonies will be
the dedication of the Ratification
Walk. This walkway is the brick walk
from Daniel Hall to Parker Hall. The
first dedication will begin at 4:30, and
will feature music, the presentation
and dedication, and the burial of the
time capsule near the Susan Parker
Kerr Gazebo.
Part two of the ratification program
will consist of the ratification buffet.
This will occur between 5:00 p.m. and
6:30 p.m.. There will be a com
memorative meal in which certain
sophomores and faculty members will
be hosts and hostesses.
The final part of the commemora
tion ceremonies will begin at 6:30
p.m. at Susan Parker Kerr Gazebo.
This portion of the day’s program will
feature music, a speaker, and prayer.
On Ratification Day, all dor
mitories, clubs, and organizations will
contribute something to be put in the
time capsule. In the year 2089, the
capsule will be dug up and opened so
the students of that year can reflect on
what the year 1989 must have been
like. Some sort of stone marker will be
constructed to give details about
Ratification Day and the contents of
the buried time capsule. The stone will
be placed above the buried capsule.
Day Students—^Who are they?
By DeeDee Babb
No one seems to know just who the
day students are or what they do. They
are a group of about sixty-nine
students who commute from Mur
freesboro, Ahoskie, Conway, Rich
Square, Garysburg, Roanoke Rapids,
and other communities in the area.
Each year a freshman day student
receives a Day Student Scholarship.
The scholarship money is raised
by the day students themselves.
One way they raise money is at home
football and basketball games. Various
day students bake cakes or cookies.
They then sell twenty-five cent
chances on them at the games. At
halftime a name is drawn and they get
the goody. For many boarding
students who win, this is a real treat.
Another way the day students raised
money last year was by selling raffle
tickets for a dinner for two at the Col
lege Inn Restaurant. The tickets were
