The Christmas holiday sched ule was shortened somewhat for the 1964-65 by the week’s delay in opening of school in Septem ber. How About You? Did you write a news story, column or article for THE CHOWANIAN and found that your name as author did not appear? If this happened to you, it was not intended, but an over sight or just a very careless error. From now on and henceforth, if you write anything worth ap pearing in THE CHOWANIAN your by-line will appear, and if the story is GOOD, your pic ture will be taken to appear with the article. You can check this with Mr. McSweeney or Mr. Gatewood. Now let's see how many am bitious writers we have among the students. News events, happenings of interest, features, special col umns, views and essays, or what you think would make in teresting reading . . . let's get 'em in soon. RECEIVES GRANT—Dr. Bruce E.

Dramatics Workshop Presents Two Productions The Chowan College Dramatic Workshop presented “Two Amer ican Playwrights” on the three consecutive evenings of Decemb er 8—10 in the auditorium of Robert Marks Hall according to Jim Lewis of the college’s Christmas Message To all members of the Chowan College Family— students, faculty, staff and friends—I extend hearty and warm greetings for a meaningful and significant Christmas holiday experience. More than anything else, it is my hope that during this Christmas season we will pause, be quiet, and reflect upon the real meaning of Christ mas—the gift of the Son of the living God as our Saviour and Lord. Obviously, Christmas is much more than such things as the enjoyment of big meals, greeting friends, and exchanging gifts. Basically it is a time of rejoicing and thanks giving. Let me add that I hope the Christmas season will prove to be a safe one as regards the physi cal welfare of our entire Chowan College Family. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! BRUCE E. WHITAKER, President — English Department and director of the group.
