THE CHOWANIAN, NOVEMBER 1950 Chowan's B.S.U. Group Largest at State Convention By BEATRICE CKOCKER A sleepy headed group of Chowan B.S.U. members arose early Friday morning in order to leave for the B.S.U. Conven tion in Asheville. Those going met in front of the “Columns Building” for invocation before leaving. Although it was early in the morning there was a lot of spirit among the students. You could see Chowan signs being put on each car. Everyone was excited and looking forward to the trip to Asheville. After registering at the First Baptist Church each was as signed to a home for the week end. The church where the meet ings were held was an attractive place of worship. One of the interesting things that caught nearly everyones attention was the flowers on each side of the church above the choir loft and the pulpit. You had a feel ing of everything being in har mony when you walked in. A very interesting drama en titled “The Mould”, was given by the University of North Car olina Baptist Student Union. We are happy to say two members of the Chowan choir were selected to sing with the B.S.U. choir. They were Robert Earl Williamson and Robert Futrell, both tenors. The B.S.U. was very fortunate to have Dr. Wayne Oates, pro fessor of psychology of religion, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky, as one of the speakers through out the entire B.S.U. Convention. On Friday evening Dr. Oates spoke on “The Meaning of Chris tian Discipline.” The topic throughout the convention was “Discipline for Today’s De mands.” Following Dr. Oates’ address there was a period for questions and answers. Having the largest representa tion there, which was 72, Chowan also traveled the longest distance to attend the Convention. East Carolina College was second and Meredith was third in numbers present. After the service everyone met in the basement for a fel lowship meeting. Everyone had a good time singing and playing games. Being Halloween night, tricks were played on some students by getting them to come to the front and perform a “treat.” On Saturday the meeting be gan with everyone joining in singing of several hymns. The B.S.U. choir then sang a spir itual, “Ain’a That Good News.” Dr. Stewart A. Newman, pro fessor of theology and philoso phy of religion, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, talked on “The Christian Discipline of Lord ship.” Then each went to their groups where they dicussed some of the views in Dr. New man’s talk, getting the students’ point of view on each subject. This discussion was very inter esting. After the discussion everyone met in the auditorium for a special song from the B.S.U. choir. The selection was “God Be In My Head.” Dr. Oates spoke on “The How of Christian Self-Discipline.” Again a question and answer period followed. Saturday afternoon the service was opened with a hymn and a prayer. Dr. Newman spoke on “The Christian Discipline of Spiritual Insight.” The Mars Hill Male Quartet sang “God Is The Spirit.” It was an enjoy able program. Group discus sions on Dr. Newman’s topic followed. More people entered the discussion this time than at any previous one. ■The business session was held in the auditorium. "The “LIS- ’TEN” report was given, and all other reports. The meeting was adjourned at 4:30, and some toured the city or drove the scenic highway. The Saturday evening meet ing was a well planned program. The service was opened with hymns sung by the congrega tion. Also the B.S.U. choir sang a number.

Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, Richmond, Virginia, spoke on “A Compelling Choice.” The Wake Forest College Bap tist Student Union gave an inter esting and inspiring drama on “LISTEN.” This was carried out very well. With the help of spotlights each scene could be quickly changed without mov ing the scenery. Miss Paddy Sue Wall, 1958 summer missionary to Mexico, a senior at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and Miss Ann Allred, 1958 summer mis sionary to Hawaii, a junior at Meredith College, Raleigh, gave interesting talks on their work as summer missionaries. Miss Allred wore a dress made in Hawaii. There was a meeting of pres idents from the different col leges after the general session. On Sunday morning the ser vice was opened with a prayer, followed by Dr. Oates’ address on “Maturity Through Disci pline.” A hymn was sung and the “LISTEN” offering was given. This money will help the summer missions. The B.S.U. Convention was honored to have one of the students from Shaw University sing a solo. Rev. W. W. Lancaster, pastor. First Baptist Church, Orange burg, South Carolina, closed the convention with a sermon en titled “On the Appropriation of Faith.” Woman's Judiciary to Guide Coed Actvities By JANICE WHITE The Woman’s Judiciary is a branch of the Student Govern ment Association of Chowan College. The object of the organ ization is to help b, etter living conditions for the girls of Chowan College, to help in developing the girls as leaders and followers, and to aid in the improvement of the ccfllege as a whole. It is the duty of each Judiciary member to assist all girls in obeying the rules that are provided for their interest and protection. The membership of the Wom an’s Judiciary consists of the three offices, president, vice president, secretary, and three girls who are newly elected. These representatives from the dormitory and one day student make a total of seven members. The present officers of this or ganization are: President Gwen Eure from Eure; Vice President Jewel Felts from Boykins, Vir ginia; and Secretary Linda Wat son from Conway. The girls re cently elected the other four members. They are: day stu dent, Gloria Sumner (sopho more) from Conway; girls from the dormitory, Mary Hunter (freshman) from Marion; Becky Powers (freshman) from Great Bridge, Virginia; and Yulba Outland (sophomore) from Rich Square. The Woman’s Judiciary meets every two weeks at a designated time and place. Special meet- o L WOMAN'S JUDICIARY — The coeds have elected these girls to serve as members of the 1958 Woman's Judiciary.

The officers are elected for one school term, unless removed for failure to perform their duties. One of the most impor tant duties of each officer is to report any infraction of rules, or any conduct, detrimental to the life of Chowan College. The Judiciary wants to help the girls form a well-rounded life as they develop mentally, physically, socially, and sprit- ually to become the best citizens wherever they may live. The members of the Woman’s Judiciary are honored to have been elected by their fellow stu dents, and have accepted the responsibilities. They will seek to live in such a way as to be a guiding influence as leaders among the girls on t- campus of Chowan College. Dr. Bunn Here For Evangelism Week Services “Campus Evangelism Week,” always a highlight of the year’s activities at Chowan College, began Monday, November 17, at 10 a.m., at the regular morn ing chapel period. Dr. John T. Bunn, pastor of Durham’s Braggtown Baptist Church for the past two years, was the visiting speaker for the week. Dr. Bunn holds the B.A. degree from Wake Forest Col lege, and the B. D. and Th. D. degrees from the Southern Bap tist Theological Seminary, Louis ville, Ky. At Louisville, Biblical Archae ology was his major field of graduate study, and following receipt of his doctorate he spent a year in research-excavation in the Near East before assum ing his present position in Dur ham. Dr. Bunn’s presence in Mur freesboro marked a return to scenes of his boyhood. His fa ther, Dr. John H. Bunn, now retired but for many years an outstanding North Carolina Bap tist minister, was at one time pastor of the Murfreesboro Bap tist Church and teacher of Bible at Chowan College. The regular Monday, Wednes day, and Friday, 10 o’clock chapel periods were under the direction of Dr. Bunn. In addi tion he held special services of worship each evening, Monday through Friday. Dr. Eddins is Guest Speaker Dr. John W. Eddins, assistant professor of Theology at South eastern Baptist Theological Sem inary, Wake Forest, was the principal speaker for “Denomi national Emphasis Day” at Cho wan College, Wednesday morn ing, November 5. This program, which began at 10 o’clock in the college audi torium, was the first in a series of similar programs arranged by the Chowan College chapel committee. The beginning pro gram featuring Dr. Eddins, as well as the others which are to follow, are open to the public. Dr. Eddins, who began his work at Southeastern Seminary in August, 1958, holds the B. S. degree from Auburn, the B. A. degree from Howard College, and the B. D. and Th. D. degrees from Southern Baptist Theologi cal Seminary in I^uisville. He has held pastorates in Alabama and Kentucky, and served as special instructor in Theology at Southern Seminary before coming to his position in North Carolina this year. Twerp Days Twerp Days, sponsored by the B. S. U., were successful and filled with fun. Girls were ask ing and getting dates with the boys of their choice. Topping off the week was a Sadie Hawkins day and a party. Everyone who attended was asked to dress as a hobo or wear some form of costume. Prizes were given to Edith Workman and Wallace Riddick for their superb costumes. Wallace Riddick was dressed very shabbily from head to toe. In fact, few people recognized him until he took off his scraggly false beard. Edith Workman was dressed in a football uniform and here was the huskiest female any man never wanted to meet! Not letting her uniform hold her back, she and the other cheer leaders led the crowd in a brief pep rally.
