Page 4 THE CHOWANIAN, CHOWAN COLLEGE, MURFREESBORO, N. C. Thursday, March 27, 1924. The Chowanian A College newspaper published fortnightly by the students of Chow an College, Murfreesboro, N. C. ERIT/4 ^ \ /a Subscription $1.00 a year Entered as second class matter January 17, 1924 at the Post Office at Murfreesboro, North Carolina, under act of March 3, 1879.

Both Miss Caldwell and Miss Knott have the interest of the class at heart and are always ready and willing to offer any suggestions to make the Sophomore class the best on the campus. They have cooperat ed beautifully with the members in all their class activities. That Miss Caldwell is a splendid class advisor was learned by the Sophomores last year while they were “green but growing” Freshman. We will not soon forget Miss Knott’s leadership as the “Bloody Sophs” marshalled “newes” up town this year to get a record of all the cats owned by Mur freesboro citizens. Yes indeed we do think that the Sophomore class is fortunate in having these two “good sports” for their advisors. With all the boastfulness and with all the optimism of the unexperienc ed, the Sophomore flaunts her much coveted wisdom above the heads, be fore the eyes and into the ears of all unbelievers, including the sagacious Juniors and Seniors. Above all vir tues the Sophomore would have wis dom. Self conviction is not suffi cient; she must proclaim to the world that with her WISDOM is paramount. And she is proud, if our eyes be true. In the world of the experienc ed—the Juniors—it is an undisputed fact that humility only is wise, for are not fear and pride the greatest ene mies of wisdom? It is not so written in the creed of the Sophomores, for pride is her staunch support in feign ing wisdom. We pity the Sophomore for we know that she has undertaken a dif ficult mission and we would not dis courage her in her aim for we know that when she is a Junior she will need all her stored up wisdom to en able her to understand and dndure those who know far less. Therefore, we would advise, “Get Wisdom” and with all thy getting, get understand ing and sympathy. JUNIOR VIEW POINT. Student Government has been un dergoing a renaissance during the past few weeks at Chowan. The rather sluggish dissatisfaction which has been felt toward the existing system of government which has erupted spasmodically but impotently for the past few years became vocif erously articulate on the evening when the election of student govern ment officers was declared unconsti tutional. The general stir-up was embraced as an opportunity for free dom of speech. Past grievances, long a smouldering flame, burst forth with fiery invectives against existing con ditions. As is usually the case, the frank, straight-forward criticism resulted in a more complete understanding and harmony between the administration and the members of the student body. Undoubtedly, the students have a clearer conception of the significance of student government and of their responsibility in supporting it. The attitude appears to have changed from one of passive grumbling at faults to active constructive interest in the principle of self-government. Certainly the criticism has resulted in a recognition on the part of the fac- ulty of the students’ point of.Yiejt ip.. certain matters. The chief constructive work acom- plised at the present time is a pro posed revision of the constitution, and of the handbook submitted by a com mittee of the students who met with representatives from the faculty. The new rules have been posted for the criticism of the students. Before be ing presented to the students for final adoption they will, according to the constitution, be submitted to the faculty for approval. This free-for-all discussion has aroused the students to a ccnscious- ness of their duty in supporting their officers and rules. The effect seems to have been entirely salubrious. Miss Hilda Matthews, the president elect for 1924-25, has the support of the students. She seems to combine admirably the qualities for leadership. She bids fair to be a strong and popu lar representative of the students. Miss Matthewss’ cabinet will be elected later. There seems to be suf ficient evidence for the belief that the classes will think more seriously than has been their custom about their representatives for the coming year. Whatever its faults, let it not be said our student government is one “be trayed by intelligence. ” WHAT CAN IT BE? What Are The Sophomores Planning That Will Interest The Seniors? Seniors Not The Only Victims! Seniors, Seniors! Are you aware of the good luck which the Sopho mores are about to bring to you? Can you imagine anything nice that your little sisters might have in view as a sur|#ise for youT Think! Think! Three guesses only! Is it that such a learned lady as the sophomore class is going to will to the seniors their superior knowledge? Well—no! Not exactly! Is is that the beloved sophomores have decided to give their place as “favorite class” with the faculty, to the seniors? Why of course not! They couldn’t afford to, having two more years in which they will struggle to keep this much-sought-for place. Well, can it be, oh, can it be that the generous hearted sophomores are going to leave to the seniors a large fortune? Could they be induced to give up their vast wealth to the seniors? No! They are not going to do that. Your three guesses are all wrong. Something better than all these is in store for you—something that will make your lips curve into smiles; your eyes sparkle and dance with glee; your hearts go thumpety-thump with joy. Excitement? Yes, plenty of it! Excitement, before and after! Do you really want to know what it is, “big sisters”? Well here goes! It’s a lot of things in one. Taken as a whole, it is big; long; part of it is tall; part, low; part, breakable; part, laughable; and the whole thing can be seen from every angle. Now what it it? Just wait and see.* ■**»»* The seniors are not the only ones who will hear from the Sophs. Freshmen, beware! The sophmores are not through with you. They are biding their time, as all sages do. But they have a plan that will completely overwhelm the freshmen. Not only that but they are going to shine like a morning star from now, on. Their unreal horoscope is far from tragical. They can not be downed, it isn’t writ ten so. Watch out for the sopho mores. ANNUITY PLAN WILL BE STARTED SOON In order to increase her endow ment and in order to insure a firmer financial basis, with the support of her friends and loyal alumnae, Chow an College hopes to adopt the An nuity Plan. The purpose of the plan is to ad vance the financial power of the col lege as one of the requirements of a standard college. The methods of proceedure are as follows: The do nor grants to the college a designated sum of money. The college in ap preciation of the use of the gift, pays to the donor during his lifetime semi annual payments at the rate of six per cent per annum, a rate equivalent to that secured by any safe invest ment and greatly in excess of some, and at the same time the principle is put to an extremely profitable use. At the death of the donor the gift be comes the unconditional possession of the college. The recent Library Drive has prov ed to the authorities of the college that the friends and alumnae of Chowan are as loyal and as eager for the advancement of the college as the supporters of any college could be. Since many of the leading colleges and universities of the South have successfully adopted the Annuity Plan, and since the execution of the plan would mean much towards the advancement of the college, the ad ministration and the trustees believe that the friends of Chowan will hear tily endorse and enthusiastically sup port this great move.
