Mission Designed for Active Role in Tomorrow's World By Jean Newsome (The following is from a speech given by Miss Newsome, a resident of Rich Square, before churches and other audiences throughout North Carolina and Virginia.) Seeing a crew engaged in a build ing operation, a stranger asked a workman mixing concrete what he was paid per hour, and he replied, “1.50.” Another, digging a ditch with a pick and shovel, said he got $1.75 per hour. A truck driver reported an hourly wage of $2.00. Seeing a man sitting on a box, apparently doing nothing, the stranger asked his hourly wage and was told, $5.00 per hour.” “Why do these other men, obvious ly hard at work,” asked the suprised stranger, “receive wages of $1.75 and $2.00 per hour, but you sit there and get $5.00 per hour?” The workman said, “I’m the guy who carries the dynamite.” College presidents and their ad ministrative staffs are “guys who carry the dynamite.” As anyone familar with college life knows, the “dynamite” has been exploding from time to time on campuses throughout the United States. Yet there have been no explosions on on Baptist campuses. A few “pops” or “fizzles” here and there, per haps, but no real explosions. Among reasons Baptist campuses have not been rocked with contro versy and tumoil shaking other insti tutions is the active and sturdy wit ness of Baptist Student Union, which plans, directs and stimulates Chris tian activities. Frank Barrett, Dorm Advisor, Claimed by Death Frank William Barrett, 68, died early Thursday in Mixon Dormitory on Chowan College campus after a heart attack. He was a native of Oxford, Eng land, a son of William and Mrs. Kate Peedel Barrett and the husband of Mrs. Winifred Mortley Barrett of Murfreesboro. He was a disabled veteran of World War I and aa member of Kensington Masonic of Johannesburg, South Afri ca, and St. Mary’s and St. John’s Episcopal Church of Oxford. He worked for Chowan College as a dormitory advisor. Besides his widow, surviving are a daughter, Mrs. Cdvin Pearce of Murfreesboro; three brothers. Jack Barrett, Ronald Barrett and Norman Barrett, all of Oxford, England; two sisters, Mrs. May B. Mattingley of Oxford and Mrs. Gertrude B. Pyne of England; and four grandchildren. Dr. Bruce E. Whitaker, Chowan College’s President, carries the “dy namite” of overseeing each student’s development as a Christian citizen, as well as planning Chowan’s phe nomenal growth and development. Working with Chowan’s BSU, Chaplain Hargus Taylor coordin ates campus religious activities and fuctions as a Christian minister. He is always available for counseling and guidance. Worship services and assembly programs are often pre sented by students themselves, working closely voith Dr. Taylor. BSU gives students opportunities to develop Christian personalities and service in ways that would be impos sible without BSU. Chowan’s BSU members engage in missionary en- deaveors in many places, serving where they are most needed. BSU’s LISTEN program and the Baptist Youth Corps provide dedicated stu dent missionaries. Chowan’s BSUers are not all going into what the world calls “religious” careers, not by any means. Rather, they are preparing for almost every imaginable career, where they will serve as Christian citizens and leaders. They are be coming Christian teachers, doctors. JEAN NEWSOME business people, builders, housewives, mothers and fathers. At Chowan College, Mr. Harvey Harris, Chowan’s Director of College Relations, says so truly, “Christian higher education teaches students not only how to make a living, but how to live.” Coach Garrison Attends Conference At Houston, Texas Athletic Director and head football coach James G.
