DENNIS HOGUE
(Written by freshman, Becky
O'Neal, this letter expresses
something of her thoughts and
feehngs about Chowan after a
month of school.
Dear Mom & Dad,
Just a line to let you know
I've survived the first two weeks
of college, but it's hard to be
lieve! Anyone who can live
through registration day can
take anything, even Rat Court
(which I’ll tell you all about
when I see you)!
My schedule is (I hope) final
ly permanent, after about five
or six changes, drops, and ad
ditions, I have all my subjects,
BUT at the wrong periods. I
don't have much free time (ugh)
every morning (ugh! ugh!),
therefore, some mornings I just
cas't seem to make it to break
fast. That orange juice (which is
hot from lack of refrigeration)
ties me over 'til lunch — some
times.
I haven't purchased all of my
books, as there was an insu^
ficient supply ordered; thus,
keeping up with studies is a bit
difficult at times.
Yes, Mom, it's just like you
said: Southerners are slower and
don't rush, rush, rush, all the
time, but I like it! I don't feel
as exhausted taking my time!
(Oh, I met two kids from Dela
ware and they are real neat!)
You should see my room. Re
member the old saying, "Clothes
man the man”? Well, in m y
case, "Curtains make the room.”
It sure feels “homey" since
they were put up. I love Dorm
"B" and the girls are real
neat!
I really love it here and it
With the air filled with the
flavor of big time politics, the
students of Chowan went to the
polls early last month and voted
for their class officers. The elec
tions took place on Friday. Octo
ber 2.
At the start of election week
candidates made their presence
known by the use of signs around
the campus. One candidate had
signs around just about every
other tree to proclaim his nomi
nation. This same candidate had
a big sign in the form of a
banner, flying from the Columns
Building. He did not win.
Active Campaign
During the chapel periods on
Friday t h e students were al
lowed to hear the various plat
forms that each candidate sub
scribed to.
That afternoon from noon to
s i x p.m. elections were held.
Voting was done in the New
Student Center by secret ballot.
Raynoidi PrMidcnt
Elected by the freshman class
were: C. J. Reynolds, president;
Roberta Hare. Vice-president;
Patricia Rivers. Secretary-Treas-
urer; and Loretta DeLaura so
cial co-chairman. A male social
co-chairman will be appointed
by the administration because no
one filed for that post.
This year's upperclassmen vote
in Dennis Hogue as president.
Other Sophomore class officers
elected were: John Arendts,
vice-president; and Joann Cog-
liandro as Social Co-chairman
A male social co-chairman
will be appointed since no one
filed for this post.
To be on the ballot candidates
had to file a petition and be cer-
ified by the registrar.
To vote a student had to pay
his $10.00 student government
fee.
isn't as difficult as I anticipated
to get back into the "swing of
study and classrooms." There
are times, though, when I hear
an instructor say, "Remember
back in high school—," then I
feel like I've been absent from
study for ten years instead of
one!
The faculty is, as I'd expected:
friendly and helpful to the stu
dents, and we’re not just “a
number” in class, but individ
uals. Anyone in need of assist
ance may obtain it merely by
asking.
As for the spiritual atmos
phere on campus, it's about as
I'd contemplated, but there’s al
ways room for growth. You
know, out of the ten colleges to
which I applied I'm truly thank
ful I was led to Chowan. I know
just as in other things I’ve ac-
comphshed, as long as I work
hard, have faith and confidence
in myself, and follow the leader
ship of His guiding hand. I’ll
make it!!
Well, I've got to go. You
must excuse the mistakes. (If
you were writing while trying to
hold 3 flashlight and bed covers,
you'd probably make mistakes
too! Lights had to be out at 12,
but I simply had to finish this
tonight.)
Love 'ya,
Becky
