THE CHOWANIAN Febxuary, 1958 Students Pay 58% of Cost, Survey Shows Students pay only 58 per cent of the total cost of their education in church-related colleges, according to a recent survey conducted by the Council for Financial Aid to Education. This information came to light at a recent meeting in Salisbury at Catawba College when repre sentatives of 27 North Carolina senior and junior colleges—includ ing 19 college presidents—met to consider means for fuller co-oper. ation among church-related ccd. leges. Dr. Bruce E. Whitaker, president of Chowan CoUege, attended the meeting at which finances occupied a major portion of the discussion. The survey also showed that tui tion charges in non-church-related instructions had increased 104 per cent since 1947, whereas tuition in creases for many rf North Caro lina’s church-related colleges was 20 per cent. With church-related colleges sub sidizing 42 per cent of student’s cost, and recognizing the fact that more study of the rising cost pro blem is essential, the Salisbury con ference requested the Executive Committee of the Council of Church-Related Colleges of North Carolina to ap^int a special com mittee to continue the study and report at a later meeting. The Boys From Mt. Vernon Hi This article is to acquaint the students with the boys from Mount Vernon High School in Alexandria Va. The boys from Alexandria are Ed Norris, Jim Woodruff, Joe Sum- ler, Kenny Prince, Mike Hicks, Jack Pettit and Ray Evans. All of these boys come from an area in which baseball is the dominate sport. 1 would like to familiarize you with their previous sport ex periences. Starting with Ed Norris, since this is his third year at Cho wan. Ed was the number one pitcher at Mount Vernon for three years. He broke the high school record for the number of strike-outs in his senior year with 132. This is the state record. He had a very good season last year with Chowan, win ning six and losing one. He ran the 100, 300, and half mile on the track team last year. He will run track this year for Chowan becau&e of his in-eligibility in baseball. Jim Woodruff played two years of varsity football and one year of baseball. During his senior year he received honors for All-Northem Virginia, All Surburban and All Metropolitan in football. He also had great success his last year pitching on the baseball team. Joe Sumler played three years of baseball and football. He re ceived honors in baseball as All- Metropolitan, All-Suburban, All- Northern Virginia and All-State. Kenny Prince played two years of varsity baseball and one year of football. Mike Hicks played three years of varsity baseball, and three years of football. He received honors as All-Suburban, All-Northern Vir ginia, and second team All-Metro politan for both baseball and foot ball. For two years be ran the 100 on the track team in 10.5 seconds. ' Jack Pettit played four years of varsity football, one year of base ball, and four years of track. He tied the state 100 yard dash record with 9.9 seconds. He is married and has a daughter four and one half months old. Ray Evans played three years of varsity baseball and was one of the league best pitchers. In 1956 he was the leading pitcher for Clark Griffin Memorial League. Ray has been married for 8 months. Often when a run of bad luck seems at its worst, a stroke of good luck is quietly gathering force, so that later, in retrospect, the bad streak appears to have led to the good streak and does not look so black after all. I hold it to be a fact, that if all persons knew what each said of the other, there would not be four friends in the world—Pascal.
