Talk-lns Popular With Students Talk-Ins, 1971, a series of four discussions sponsored by Student Personnel, began on January 26 when 42 Chowan College students and six Murfreesboro Rotarians formed six discussion groups in the Baptist Student Union and shared their reactions to an article which appeared in the December, 1970, issue of “The Rotarian.” The article, “Rotarians Helping to ‘Bridge the Gaps’ Around the World,” examined ways men and their clubs are working to solve the problems of the 70s. George Gibbs, Governor of Rotary International District 771, opened the discussion with remarks relative to ways he has seen Rotarians bridging gaps in North Carolina. Gibb’s remarks were followed with small-group discussions. A group was com posed of seven students and one discussion leader. Rotarians serving as discussion leaders were: L. Frank Burleson, Jr., President of the Rotary Club of Murfreesboro, Ronald Jenkins, J. Guy Revelle, Jr., Bob F. Hill, Jr., David H. Dickie and Marion Byrd. “This Talk-In involving Murfreesboro Rotarians gave students an opportunity to meet and learn some of the leading men in the town. We are always concerned about having and maintaining a good relationship between the citizens of Mur freesboro and the College students,” said Clayton Lewis, dean of students. Other Talk-Ins involved Chowan faculty and staff members as discussion leaders and was centered around the following topics: Hope for America, The Political and Social Views of William F. Buckley, and Women’s Liberation. Talk-Ins, 1971, is another of the programs sponsored by Student Personnel to bring all college citizens—students, faculty and staff—closer together.
