Faculty Advisor John McSweeney Thank You, Mr. President! By JOE SUMLER First, the staff of The Chowanian wishes to thank Dr. Whitaker for his letter congratulating the niembers for a “good issue”. He referred to the Octooer issue, the first ol the new year. We want to quote his letter for the benefit of those who criticized us not very constructively: I want to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank your associates and you upon the publication of the October issue of the Chowanian. It is a good issue. I especially like the way you covered the new dorm matters. Thank you, Joe, for your editorial. As you well know by now, there were a number of typographical and “typesetting” errors, including one of the latter in my statement, but I’m sure that in future issues when you will not be quite so rush ed, you will be able to avoid these. Thank you again for the work you have done and will be doing in connection with the Chowanian throughout the year. Publishing The Chowanian is quite different from producing most of the other college or high school news papers. Here we not only write ana edit our copy, we also set the type and do all other mechanical work required. Here is a Linotype machine on which type is set by our stu dents. There are nine Linotypes in the plant of the Roy Parker School of Printing. i This machine, as you can probably observe, is very complicated. Many of our students never saw one before commg to Chowan. Many mistakes are made in composing type until the student learns the keyboard and operation of the Linotype. So quite a number of errors get by our proof readers and into the newspaper. We have a hard working staff doing its very best to give Chowan an outstanding newspaper. Comments and letters have come to us from those who are high in the ministry, as well as administrative officials of the Baptist State Convention. All commend the staff for “one of the best newspapers from our colleges.” This is a student publication. If our English was per fect, our spelling always correct and we never made errors, it seems to us we would have no reason to attend Chowan. We learn from the mistakes we make and are ever trying to improve our work. That is all anyone can do. To our critics we would suggest that you take time to visit our meetings each Monday evening in the Graphic Arts building. Give us your help, your advice. If you can do SCHOOL OF PRINTING EXTENSION — This is the architects' sketch of the extension to the Roy Parker School of Printing's building, one of the seven structures in Chovyan College's develop ment program. This would make the second addition to the original building since 1953. More floor space is needed for additional machinery to accomodate a larger enrollment in order to meet the demands from newspaper publishers for the school's graduates. a better job, we will be glad to have you on the staff if you are a student. To those on the faculty, certainly there is much work you can do in helping correct our copy, and reading proofs. Don’t just talk about us to others. Come and talk with us. You too may learn something! Student Government Working! By BILL NORVELL President Student Government That which has been foremost in the minds of many for sometime is the question, “Is the Student Government working?” We say, yes! The Student Government officers, the dean and assistant dean of men, dormitory presidents, hall monitors, the dean and assistant dean of women, and the members of the Woman’s Judiciary all report a better attitude among the students this year than last. Even with the tremendous increase in student enrollment, the dis ciplinary problems have been, to a large degree, less. We feel the success of “Homecoming” can be attribu ted somewhat to the helping hand given by the Student Government and all the student body. We heard this state ment from a long-time friend of Chowan, “Never have I seen such spirit and enthusiasm among the students of Chowan College.” This is what we want to hear from all friends of Chowan. I wish to take this opportunity to impress upon each student the importance of offering your assistance to visit ing friends to our campus. The kindness extended them by us, the students of this institution, will never be forgotten. The tituaent Government wants to encourage among the students the type of conduct which is proper for a Christian lady or gentleman in order to lend or aid in improving the appearance, the general conditions, the prestige, and the Christian influence of the college. We must understand that liberty is a sacred right, and obedience to the laws and codes of conduct that protect our liberty is our obligation. We should develop loyalty, unity of spirit, and a feeling of responsibility for the total college program. The college is now, and has been for sometime, in the midst of an enlargement program. The manner in which we conduct ourselves, attitudes toward the program, care and appreciation for the buildings which are now in use, can weigh heavily upon the success of this program. With good, sincere attitudes toward the college and all of its functions, we can make this a better place to live, learn, work and play. As a reward we will all be proud to lay claim to Chowan College as our Alma Mata. Dr. Whitaker in ""Who^s Who^' A signal honor has just been accorded Dr. Bruce Ezell Whit aker, president of Chowan Col lege. A paragraph on the pro gressive young prexy is included in the recently-released supple ment to Who's Who in America. Who's Who in America, a bi annual publication of A. N. Mar quis Company, is the standard reference work for information concerning outstanding Ameri cans. The paragraph on Chowan’s leader contains information about his educational back ground: B. A., Wake Forest Col lege; B. D., Th. M., and Th. D., Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; and further graduate study, George Peabody College for "Teachers. It carries, also, the highlights of his successful ca reer as minister, college and university professor, youth lead er, and college president. The paragraph sets forth, further.

"The Important Thing" He who goes to Chowan To acquire an education. Is very much like the man Who buys a pound of bacon. He knows not what is there. Until it has been fried. The same is with the student Who has never really tried. —Alton Mills, Jr. Wake Forest Scholarships WINSTON-SALEM — The Wil liam Louis Poteat Scholarships have been established by the Wake Forest College faculty for graduates of the five Baptist junior colleges in the state. Five scholarships, ranging in value up to $500 per school year, will be awarded annually on a competitive basis beginning with the 1959-60 school year. An applicant must be enrolled in one of the Baptist junior col leges in North Carolina. He must have a quality point ratio of at least 2.3 (2.00 is a B) on three semesters of work and ex pect to be graduated from the junior college in the spring of 1959. The scholarships are a- vailable to both men and women and are renewable for the senior year. The scholarships will be a- warded on the basis of ability and need. According to the Com mittee on Scholarships and Stu dent Aid, they are ‘intended to aid young people who are am bitious and who show promise. Factors of leadership, person ality, motivation, and judgment, as well as scholastic ability, will be considered in the selection of scholarship holders.” Renewal for the senior year will be con ditioned upon social conduct and satisfactory scholastic record. Detailed information and an application should be requested prior to Dec. 15, 1958, from the Committee on Scholarships and Student Aid, Box 7305, Winston- Salem. Students in the following col leges will be eligible for com petition: Campbell, Chowan, Gardner-Webb, Mars Hill and Wingate. Dr. William Louis Poteat, for whom the scholarships are named, was president of Wake Forest from 1901 to 1927. All told, he taught at Wake Forest for 61 years. He was the father of Dr. Hubert McNeil Poteat, Latin professor for 44 years. Y. W. A. Meet On Tuesday, October 28, the YWA’s met in the recreation room of the girl’s dormitory. The meeting was called to order by the president, Gwen Eure. The program was a panel dis cussion on “Boy and Girl Rela tionship”. The panel consisted of these faculty members and the college pastor: Mrs. Mixon, Mr. Masters, Mr. Hawkins, and Rev. Pruitt. Questions had been dropped in a box during the week by the girls. Not only did the panel answer the questions, but the girls had an opportunity to express their ideas on this subject. At the business session each officer had to fill out information forms given before the meeting. This is to help the secretary keep a more accurate record.
