Industries Seek Chowan Grads
Music Ministry Program
Very Effective in R-C Area
Job recruiting, which combines
aspects of a commando raid and
a church picnic, is executed with
lightning speed at Chowan
College and a good time is gen
erally had by all.
Just raecntly, for cxampU,
nuriMrout Industrial racrult-
trt rtprtsenting many wn-
ploy*rs arrived on camput,
wtro treatod to ntaaU In tfio
colltgo cafatorta, Inttrviowod
studont* and vanlshod, but
not until aftor they iiirod 43
>tud«nt Mid booked dozens
of others for further inter
views with their personnel
departments.
Not all eagerly courted pro
spects will receive so much as
an Associate o( Arts degree.
Instead, some will be handed
certificates showing that they
have completed various secre
tarial, business, clerical, printing
and other programs which pre
pare students for skilled jobs in
many classifications.
Chowan prepares many
young men and women to
serve In occupations which
do not require a number of
scholastic degrees, but call
for slclils for which trade
schools and otiier institutions
are unable to provide train
ing. Naturally, occupational
training is not all that Cho
wan offers. As In other two-
year colleges, most students
talce academic training or
"university" courses which
place heavy stress on the
liberal arts and sciences and
give students a start toward
major studies they can pur
sue after transferring to a
four-year school. But occupa
tional programs do provide
education for many students
and demand for graduates
is even greater than recent
hirings would indicate.
For one thing, many students
being interviewed by recruiters
are choosy enough not to take
the first job offered. One, recently
turning down numerous offers,
said, “I want to find out what’s
available all over, and what I
find out will eventually lead me
to the right job.” Others already
had jobs and participated in in
terviews just to see what rival
companies were offering. Also,
many other students are not seek
ing out recruiters because they
have already lined up work or
will locate it through their teach
ers, many of whom are fresh
from industry and maintain
close contacts with employers.
Most of Chowan's faculty mem
bers are experienced in other
fields of employment and have
many contacts outside of educa
tional circles.
Annual Choral tours carry
the music ministry of Chowan
College far beyond the boun
daries of Hertford County, or
even the Roanoke-Chowan area.
The Girls’ Ensemble provides
music for inspiration for Bap
tist Associational meetings and
other significant occasions. In
strumental music provided by
Chowan’s band sets the scene
for pageants, parades and ath
letic events. Concerts are held
throughout the school year, es
pecially at Christmas and Eas
ter.
These are merely a few of
the ways that tfie Ciiowan Col
lege Choir, ttie Chowan Girls'
Ensemble, the Chowan College
Touring Choir, Chowan College
Band and other musical or
ganizations composed of stu
dents at Chowan have come a
long way during recent years
in establishing ttiemselves as
permanent Instruments for
cultural service in the area.
Supervising this varied pro
gram of music and culture
is Professor James Chamblee,
Chairman of Uie Department of
Music at Chowan College. Dur
ing recent tours of the Chowan
College Touring Choir and other
musical programs, while Pro
fessor Chamblee has been away
from campus completing re
quirements for his Ph. D. de
gree at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, the
music ministry of Chowan Col
lege has been under the direc
tion and supervision of Profes
sor Trelles G. Case, who served
as Acting Chairman of Chowan
College’s Department of Music.
Professor Robert W. Brown
directs Chowan College's biHid.
Other professors assisting In
the music ministry at Cho
wan during recent years in
clude Mrs. Mary Rosa Law
rence and Miss Anna Belle
Crouch.
Professor Chamblee instructs
voice classes for Chowanians and
Professor Case is instructor for
instrumentalists on piano and or
gan.

College Choice
Mode Easier
By Computer
High school students facing the
college selection crisis may now
call upon automation for an
assist.
The "Select College Consulting
by Computer”, a division of K&B
Associates of Princeton, New
Jersey, has developed a question
naire profile for students. After
completion of the questionnaire
the information is computer-
matched with the two million
items of information complied
by “Select” on the requirements
of the 3,000 colleges in the United
States.
Select then sends the student
and the high school adviser a
selected list of the ten to fifteen
most ideal schools for the stu
dent's particular needs. The
cost of the service is $10.

stands correct^ as foUows:

one sewing machine for sale.
Cheap. Phone 958 after 7 p.m.

“Finally, on Thursday—
