Speaking oria "Come to him, to that living stone, rejected by men biit in God’s sight chosen and precious; and like living stones be yourselves built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices to God through Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 2:4, 5 ☆ Chance for Compassion The appeal to the student body of Chowan Col lege on behalf of an unnamed orphanage in Viet nam is the kind of appeal which could be dupli cated many times over. This land has not known peace during the entire life-span of any student at Chowan. Buddhist and Roman Catholic nuns have made valiant efforts at feeding, clothing, and sheltering homeless children. They need extra help in their efforts. All of us have — or can purchase cheaply — the kinds of items Sgt. Weber has mentioned in his letter: towels, wash cloths, soap, tooth paste, etc. Many of us have younger brothers and sisters whose outworn “baby clothes” are stored away someplace at home. Such items we can offer to children in need. Here is a chance for ALL Chowanians to show compassion. The lounge in Askew Student Union ought to be flooded with our gifts for these child ren of Vietnam. Ya'II Come! “This can’t be Chowan,” said a puzzled little old lady visiting the campus for the first time since her graduation many years ago. “It must have moved.” She’s right ! ! ! ! Chowan really has moved and the prime mover has been Dr. Bruce E. Whitaker, Chowan College’s President since 1957. When he became President, 235 students were enrolled. Now there are 1,234. Growth has been both in quality and the largest percentage of in crease in enrolment of any North Carolina col lege, private or public. If you have not visited the campus recently, you have missed much miraculous growth. Under Dr. Whitaker’s leadership, Chowan’s total assets have increased from less than $1,000,000 to ap proximately $5,000,000, and, when the new library- fine arts facility takes its place on the campus scene, it will be the tenth new and modern building to rise among Chowan’s ancient pines and majestic, towering oaks since Dr. Whitaker became president. Additions to the campus scene include three dormitories for women, two dormitories for men, a three-story classroom building, an addition to Chowan’s School of Graphic Arts building, the cafetria more than doubled its seating capacity and the Columns building, historic center of campus activity since 1851, has been partially renovated. If you haven’t visited Chowan’s campus during recent years, you’ve missed a success story tinged with joy and accomplishment. ‘Y’all come ! ! ! ” ☆ ☆ There is something that is much more scarce, something finer far, something rarer than ability. It is the ability to recognize ability. —Elbert Hub bard, American editor and lecturer. PAGE FOUR 3« JMpttwrtam Jffranh 31. larrptt laaa - mz The editorial staff—in pride, mingled with sorrow—dedicates this issue of THE CHOWANIAN to the memory of Mr. Frank William Barrett, Advisor in Mixon Dormitory at Chowan College. Mr. Barrett was an asset to Chowan College and will be missed by the students, faculty and staff. He was a “true friend to all.” Resolution for 1967 Resolutions for a safe New Year: I will drive my car with a steady hand, a watch ful eye, mindful that my own safety and the safety of others demand unwavering attention every minute I’m behind the wheel. I will treat other motorists as I would have them treat me, in the knowledge that good driv ing is a combination of courtesy caution, and com mon sense. I will drive defensively by anticipating emer gencies and always expecting the other driver to do the unexpected. I will never travel faster than conditions of the road, traffic, and weather permit: never will I be lured into matching an unsafe speed even if it is within posted legal limits. I will always allow a safe measure of stopping distance ahead, remembering that at 50 miles an hour I need 25 times more stopping distance than at 10 m. p. h. I will familiarize myself fully with my car’s capabilities and limitations so that I can meet and master any circumstance with skill and con fidence. I will have my car periodically checked (espe cially during winter months and before taking long trips) to make sure it is maintained in proper condition. As to 1967: The Year is at the door. I wish for the stupid a little understanding, a little poetry. I wish a heart for the rich and a little poetry for the poor. But, above all, I wish that we may blackguard each other as little as possible during the New Year. —Heinrich Heine Wise Quotes If you can’t find it in the dictionary, the atlas, or encyclodepdia, don’t be discouraged; ask for it at the drug store.
