Watching Growth of Rumor Interesting College Pastime either shoot it out with him or catch him, as the case might be. Dr. Louis Almen, dean of chapel, said he’s been here 12 years and doesn’t remember chapel ever being cancelled. He added that others who have been here much longer have said they don’t remember this most sacred of Augustana tra ditions ever being cancelled either. So the question now is: Will we ever find out why there was no chapl Friday? Perhaps, but not now. Why? Because the administration says not. And their reasons are good ones. Unfortunately, this time is not “ours to reason why,” as the poet said. So keep formulating those ru mors. Pick one of the ones above and elaborate on it, or think up some new ones of your own. Use your imagination. Be creative. Rumors are often so much more fun than the truth anyway. ( ACP ) — It’s interesting to watch the growth of a rumor, notes THE AUGUSTANA OBSERVER, Augustana College, Rock Island, III. Every Tuesday and Friday, Augustana College has chapel, or convocation as the college prefers to call it. Chapel has been a recognized and even taken-for-granted component of Augustana education since time immemorial. But one recent Friday there was no chapel. Contrary to the logical supposition, i. e., that students would receive this news with nearly ecstatic joy, we found that the student body met this unseemly turn of events with consternation. They wanted to know “Why not?” And, of course, rumors started. Here are some of them: President Johnson is coming for an unannounced meeting. All the hush-hush secrecy is for security reasons. It's a bomb scare. They’re afraid we all may be blown heavenward in the midst of wor ship. Some Greek group has locked President Sorensen in Centennial Hall and issued the statement cancelling chapel in his name. The roof has either fallen in or has started to. There's an escaped convict or lunatic loose in Centennial Hall and the police are trying to ☆ ☆ A small boy in a department store was standing near the escalator watching the moving hand rail. “Something wrong?” asked a clerk. “Nope,” said the boy. “I’m just waiting for my chewing gum to come back.” ADDITION TO CAFETERIA—New student center, post office and student store are housed on the ground floor of the cafeteria addition. The upstairs addition doubled the .seating capacity, and also houses a private dining room for special occasions. Smile Awhile New Stenog—Well, at last I’ve got a raise in salary. Old Stenog—Honestly? New Stenog—Oh, don’t be so inquisitive. HE'LL LEARN A young draftee was startled out of sound sleep by his platoon sergeant his first night in the army. “Hey, you!” bellowed the ser geant, “it’s 4:30!” “Four-thirty?” mumbled the rookie. “Man, you’d better get to bed. We got a big day to morrow.” "I must tell you about Ven ice,” Will Rogers once said. “I got seasick crossing an alley.” NEW INFIRMARY—Now nearing completion is the Penny Infirmary, being constructed to the rear of the ‘"Columns” building. The new facility, made possibly by Mrs. W. S. Penny of Ra leigh. will co.'^t SIOO.OOO equipped. Message to Alumni (Continued) THE TASKS AHEAD of us are gigantic and, in some respects, even frightening. Our accomplishments with in the last decade, however, reveal the fact that with determination and commitment we can meet the chal lenges and responsibilities which are ours. We can and must meet these specified needs. Beyond these detail ed ones, there is a need for a Fine Arts Building, a new chapel, a new athletic or field house, and perhaps one or two additional dormitories. ALONG WITH THE specified need already indicated for the future of Chowan College we must build up the General Endowment of the College. For instance, be fore Chowan could consider becoming a four-year col lege, it must have in hand or, at least in sight, mini mum of $2,000,000.00 in General Endowment. This can be taken care of, in large measure, over a period of years by means of remembering the College through our wills. Largely through a gift from the estate of the late Charles H. Jenkins of Aulander and Ahoskie, we have built our Endowment from $5,000.00 in 1957 to more than $100,000.00 at present. This opportunity for meeting the needs of Chowan College must be ever before the friends of Chowan. Dr. Gillbert T. Stephen son of Pendleton, a nationally recognized authority in the field of wills and trusts, gives his time without financial or other obligation to any person and his or her lawyer, when Chowan College is included in a will. We are indebted to members of the Endowment Com mittee, of which Dr. Stephenson serves as Chairman, for their constant through and efforts in behalf of the General Endowment needs of the college. INCIDENTALLY, suggested wording for those who wish to remember the college in their wills might be, appropriately and legally, “I give, devise, and be queath to Chowan College, which has its administra' tive offices in Hertford County at Murfreesboro, North Carolina, (here insert the amount of money and or describe the personal property or real estate) for the General Endowment of Chowan College.” Inquiries on bequests may be addressed to the President of the Col lege or directly to Dr. Gillbert T. Stephenson. Pendle ton, North Carolina. I have remembered Chowan Col lege in my own will and I hope that the many friends of Chowan College will not “put off” doing so them selves. CHOWAN COLLEGE can have a great future. As a non-tax supported institution it cannot, however, with out the voluntary interest and active support of its many friends throughout this area, especially, the State, and the nation. QUESTIONS, constructive suggestions and active support are welcomed and solicited. FOR MARCH, 1965 PAGE FIVF
