Those who united with the church Sunday, October 11, in ob servance of Student Join.-the- Church Day were: Louise Cart wright, Weeksville, candidate for baptism; Wilma Woolard, Rocky Mount, received into the church; Norman L, Blythe, Harrellsville, by letter; Ruby Caudle, Peach- land; Ruth Taylor, Como; Walter Dudley, Gates; Tom Gillis, Law^ renceville, Va.; Florence Ward, HobbaviUe; Frances Edwards, Sea board; Edith Kvans, Kelfard; and Pauline Byrum, Tyner, by watch- care. The Baptist Student Union Council held its regular business meeting Thursday night, October a The main feature of the meet ing was discussing a representation at the B. S. U. State Convention ta be held in Greensboro, October 33-25. We are glad to have the follow ing faculty members as B. T.

Oh, it’s all right to be late for your date, maybe that's the way you keep his interest up; but to be . late to chapal?—That’s another TEing. Fire-drills should be taken seri ously. They are not held for en tertainment but for instruction. We cannct know when the fire gong rings whether or not there is an actual flre; but by always being quiet and orderly and falling in line just where we belong, we may be able to avoid a catastrophe if a flre should occur. Practice House, While we have been sitting idly by. We have been admiring the improvements the Administration has made, but when we want to express our praise, we use the same old songs and yells. When we go to the table for a meal, we do not like to eat canned food. When we go to a pep-meet ing we don’t like to have canned songs and yells that have been on the shelf ever since last spring dished out to us. Let's go to work in the spirit of the Athletic Asso ciation’s challenge and get some new songs and yells. Not only will it give the classes points to ward the loving cup, but it will alao add life and pep to our sehool. We must develop same pep and enthusiasm in order to do justice to our school with all its improve ments. Classes, the challenge is yours. Chowan is not a school for young elephants but the way we walk in the halls might lead one to think 30. Walking on your tip toes is not the hardest thing to do in the world and it might help to cut down on some of the noise during quiet hour. Because the B. T. U. has been moved from the college to the church does not mean that you are no lo.nger a part of it. It is still your B. T. U. and just what you want to make it. Have you seen the library after it has been cleaned up? With the cooperation of all, it can be kept that way. You put ycun chair un der the table where you found it vvhen you leave the dining hall, why not put the chairs in the li brary back in their places when you are through with them?—and the waste-paper basket is just waiting for all the scrap paper that is thrown so carelessly on the floor. WAIST ED: SONGS AND YELLS The Athletic Association is sponsoring a movement in the im provement program which de serves the wholehearted support of the student body—that of get ting some liew pep songs and yells. The administration has been making long-needed improve ments such as tearing down the back porches, rewiring the ad ministration building, remodeling the rooms in that building, putting globes on the lights in the class rooms, rearranging the library, planting grass on the campus and remodeling Stone Cottage for a Already four names have been written in the guest book that Miss Mabel Starnes presented to us for the newly equipped guest room. They are: Miss Mabel Starnes, State B. T, U. secretary; Miss Dorothy Crutchfleld, teacher at Woodland-Olney high school, who assisted Miss Starnes in her work during the summer and in the Officers Training Camp held here in September; Miss Mary Cur- rin, State Young People’s secre tary; and Miss Juliette Mather, Southwide Young People’s leader. We hope to All the book with other names like these. is supposed to be from twelve to seventy-five mUes thick. But this is an extraordinary weight—a weight which makes it possible to test the theory of isostasy directly for the first time. COUUEGE NOTES Looikout everybody — “Around and around she, goes an} where she stops nobody knows.” Test week again—and that re minds me of a poem I saw the other day which was taken from Tower Times: “Now I sit n»e dawn to stwdy; 1 pray the .Lord I don’t go nutty. And whtn 1 have learned this junk, I pray the Loird that I don’t ftunk.” Maybe that expresses our senti ments 'long about this time. This is just a timely hint but what wouW the teacher do if we follo.w- ed the first line? And still another Romeo has popped up. It seems that Norman Blythe is gradually gaining the title. A gentleman in plaids (guess the Nationality) had to send an urgent telegram and not wishing to spend more money than neces sary wrote like thi»: “Bruises hurt erased afford erected analysis hurt too infections dead (16 words). The man who received it, inter preted it as follows: “Bruce is hurt. He raced a Ford. He wreck ed it, and Alice is hurt toe. In fact, she’s dead.”—Baptist Student. Well, well, it seems that our play production clstf# will soon be able to run the stars out of He!' lywood. I understand that there was some promising talent dis played a few days ago. Green! Green! Green! Green pa per, green h:esses, gre^n bows. Freshmen kneeling, dining room antics. Sophomore Day. Well, they’re all just a memory for an other year. The first Thursday morning chapel hour in each month has been given over to the B. S. U. for its own particular use. Have you noticed the change that has come over a certain co-ed since he has found out that he can go to Winston-Salem in No vember? How would you like a room mate who took your bay friend while you were away? You better watch out, Marion! Miss Juliette Mather, Southwide Young People’s leader, who con ducted a Y. W. A. study course here October 9, 10, 11, made a talk at the Baptist Church Sunday morning preceeding the preaching hour. Basket Ball Team Will Play Other Colleges The basketball teams of the Ath letic Association have announced that they will play only college teams this year. This means that another change has been made which marks a decided improve ment at Chowan. Heretofore the college basket ball teams have challenged high school teams and have had some good games with these less ex perienced athletes. This, however, made the Chow.an Athletic Asso ciation less collegiate than it would like to be. Previously it has not been prac tical to attempt to do otherwise. In the first place the distance from Chowan to other colleges was a great inconvenience. And second., the nearest colleges to Cho wan were much larger institu tions. Chowan's basketball teams were not quite equal to cope with the teams of large colleges. But according to recent plans of the Athletic Association, Chowan will play only intercollegiate games this year. Several games have already been scheduled and dates for others will be arranged soon. Games will be played both at other colleges and at Chowan. With the two new coaches, Mr. Roy Fehrman and Miss Saran Bruce, who are enthusiastic over the coming season, there is an ex cellent chance to “push old Cho wan to the top, over the top.” This change will call for hard work on the part of players and probably a great deal of courage. But it is a change for the better— let’s make the most of it. With the help of the college the B. S. U. hopes to equip the ob servatory for the particular use of the organization. Work was done by B. S, U. Council members this summer and a small amount of money was raised which will be used toward completing this proj ect. SCIENCE NOTES Miss Maxine Fillyaw, a student of the college, is at home for a short period of convalescence. Will Boulder Dams’ water alter the earth’s crust? Eventually the weight o£ 41,- 500,000,000 tons of water will be supported by the bottom of the lake behind Boulder Dam. Al ready the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey is preparing to measure any change that may be produced in the' earth’s crust. The surface of the earth as we know it consists of granite layers that float on heavy, sticky ma terial below, much as an iceberg floats in water. This view has made it necessary to create a spe cial branch of geology called isQS- tasy. According to the theory of isos- tasy, wherever equilibrium exists on the earth’s surface equal raa'ses underlie equal surface areas. Thus a huge granite mass with an ;'.ver- age surface elevation three miles above the main depth of t!“e oceans must be lighter than the material of the ocean floors. More over, in order to compensate f.nr its greater mean height this light er material must extend down ward to some distance under the continent and below the ocean floor so that unit areas beneath oceans and continents may remain in stable equilibrium. It is easy to picture the effect of the billions of tons of water m Boulder Reservoir. If more weight is added to that which nature placed at Boulder Dam the crust must yield until equilibrium is re stored. Ordinary weights are negligible when compared to a crust which According ta Madeline Mcdlin’s recent biographical sketch, O. Henry was born on a hag of pea nuts and a sack of sugar. He was wrapped in a swaddling coat of chocolate and laid in a cellophane wrapper. He spent his childhood in the candy factory and was sent to Chowan College tea room to re ceive his education. Among his friends were; Babe Ruth, Dr. Pep per and Peter Paul. His educa tion progressed quite well until a Chowan College girl fell in love with him. The two were made one flesh. What has thus been joined together, let no man put asunder. Well, Chowan boasts of at least one absent-minded professor (in the making). Helen Mwar^ went to the Tea Room, drank a Coca- Cola, crawled on the crate in the corner and sent the bottle home to be put to bed. And who would you think that one of our student body would be taken for a former faculty mem ber? Frank Adams,, thought that Bernice Ricks was Miss Sarah Martin for quite a while. The Brown Lady has at last paid her visit. Freshnien and new fac ulty members can at last be at ease. I wonder what will ever come of the Senior Class? It seems that they all acting queer lately. May be Dix Hill will have a freshman class this year. Maybe it was beginner’s luck but the first time Dr. McCullooh went deer hunting he killed a deer. He was the only one in the party who did. Well ole column, I guess we’ll have to say goodby for another month but we’ll be seeing you long about November. There are stocks and stocks but until the other day there never was a “precipitating” stock. Mr. Fehrman is quite proud of Made line who has beaten the stock mar ket by creating a new kind of -Stock.

Florence Ward seems to be the trouble of all this concern. For information on the subject, “How It Feels to Get Candy From Unknowns,” we refer you to Pearl Baggette. We have a new professor in Chowan! If you get worried about your snoring, the type and re sults, you should enlist today in the class conducted by Professor G. C. Bulter.
