IMPORTANT CONFERENCE
IN RALEIGH RECENTLY
Doctors Weaver and Clark At
tend Meeting in Behalf
75 Million Movement
On March 14th Drs. Weaver and
Clark met in the Recorder Building
at Raleigh with Secretary Maddry,
Dr. R. T. Vann, President W. Louis
Poteat of Wake Forest, President
Charles E. Brewer of Meredith, and
a number of prominent educators
from Baptist institutions throughout
the State, to consider ways and means
of enlisting all of our educational
forces for the purpose of raising
North Carolina’s allotment of the 75
Million campaign. Secretary Maddry
said his purpose was two-fold, first
that of fully arousing the teachers to
see and feel the great burden and op
portunity resting upon them in the
aid of so momentous an undertaking;
and second, that the teaching staff
of the denomination can infuse an ad
ditional life and momentum to this
great cause. He urged those present
to put forth their best effort at once,
lest Christian education and the de
nomination in the State suffer an ir
reparable loss.
Various schemes were proposed for
the raising of our quota of the 75
Million Campaign. One is for each
loyal Baptist in the State to add six
dollars and some cents to his original
subscription. Another scheme was
that proposed by Dr. Weaver, which
is for all the Baptist colleges through
out the State to put on an enlistment
campaign within our colleges and
train our young men and women to
do organized work for the cause
among their own people when they
return home for the summer vaca
tion. By this means a large band of
zealous students will prove a power
ful means of recruiting our regular
army of campaigners. Other schemes
were proposed of which more shall be
known in the near future.
Y. W. A. PROGRAM A
FEATURE OF THE SOCIAL
Entertainment Was Given By
W. M. S. At Murfreesboro
Baptist Church, March 17
On Monday night, March 17, the
faculty and entire student body of
Chowan College were entertained at
the Baptist Church by the Woman’s
Missionary Society. After a pro
gram rendered by the college Y. W.
A., the members of the W. M. S. in
vited the guests into the church din
ing room where a delicious ice course
and mints were served.
The program was especially good.
The first number was a talk given by
Miss Gladiola Parker on the Student
Volunteer Conference at Queens
College, Charlotte, North Carolina.
The second number was a quartette,
“I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go”
by Misses Ila Leary, Mildred Rig'gs,
Letha Carter, and Janice Ballentine.
After this Miss Helen Brett gave an
interesting talk on the phases of the
Conference pertaining to the work of
the Y. W. A. Following that was a
pageant, “The Hope of North Caro
lina”. It pictured Ch'ristianttyV
Christian Education, Orphanage
work, and ministry of healing with
the aid of the W. M. U. driving out
Ignorance, Destitution, Crime, An
archy,* and Disease. The W. M. U.
which is the real hope of North Caro
lina, gave a brief sketch of its work
in showing how it could help lift
North Carolina.
WINTER BRINGS CHILDREN
FOR A VISIT TO CHOWAN
Snow, Sleet, and Ice Responsi
ble for Persistent Stay of
Cold Radiators
The faculty and students of Chow
an College were favored with a visit
last week from Mr. Winter’s children,
who frequently accompany him. We
are sorry to say that their reception
was not what it should have been,
and we fear that their visit caused a
great deal of unpleasantness to both
parties.
The girls, however, (and part of
the faculty even) gave Mr. Snow, the
youngest son, a most pleasing wel
come. Mr. Snow is a very attractive
young man and always wears a per
fectly white sports outfit. There was
no time for studying while Mr. Snow
stayed because all the girls, adorned
in their sweaters, caps, gloves and
overshoes, eagerly went snowballing
and kodaking with him. Shouts of
laughter could be heard either on the
roof garden or on the campus the en-
ever, Mr. Snow ventured into the din-
1£ire~3ay.' IvTuch^o^lHeir Off or, how^
company with Miss Cream.
The older sons, Ice and Wind, and
the daughter. Miss Cold Radiators
were received very differently from
Mr. Snow. The college members did
all they could to keep them from en
tering, but to no avail. However,
since Mr. Winter is a constant visitor,
they could not afford to be so dis
courteous to his children. They
were allowed to wander about wher
ever they wished and all the faculty
and students were forced to recognize
them whether or not they wished to.
Miss Cold Radiator was the most
persistent of all the visitors. She
made herself quite at home, and it
seems that she does not yet consider
that her visit is over or that every
body would be more comfortable if
she were gone. She visits every
room, whether it belongs to a girl
or one of the faculty members. One
is able to find her anywhere and
everywhere.
Dr. Weaver recognized the situa
tion under which the students were
placed and succeeded in getting some
wood, as it is impossible to get coal.
He thought to make it too hot for
Miss Cold Radiators, for a time at
least, because she can not survive
in hot climates. The girls, as well as
Dr. Weaver and the faculty, realize
that this is not good manners, but
thought it the best way to cope vrith
the situation. We hope the next time
Mr. Winter brings his children to visit
us that we will have plenty of coal to
show our appreciation of their ab
sence—all except Mr. Snow, for we
would like to keep him here all the
time.
