Chowan Receives
$36,000 From
Camp Foundation
Cowan College has received a
gift of $36,000 from the Camp
Foundation of Franklin, Va. as
part of its commitment to help
finance construction of the new
$1.3 million science-engineering
facility.
In February of 1974, the Camp
Foundation, through its
president, Robert Camp Ray,
announced a $180,000 gift to
Chowan for the science building
covering a period of five years. It
is the largest gift ever made to
Chowan by a foundation.
The facility was opened in
January, 1974 and is named in
honor of an alumna of the class of
1881, the late Carrie Savage
Camp.
“We are very grateful for the
support of the Camp Foundation,
“stated Chowan’s president. Dr.
Bruce E. Whitaker. “Through its
significant grant, the Camp
Foundation has played an im
portant part in the provision of
this desperately needed new
facility for Chowan’s students,
“Dr. Whitaker said.
Continued Chowan’s president,
“We appreciate Camp Foun
dation’s interest in undergirding
Chowan’s educational program.
Its financial support is helping
Chowan continue to provide a
quality education for its
students.”
Chowan’s chief administrator
said the new facility provides
Chowan’s students with the latest
equipment in addition to the
large, modern classrooms and
laboratories. He said other
features lacking in the old science
building, Green Hall, built for a
maximum student body of 300,
but found in the new structure are
the library and resource area.
Grand Feature Parade.
Miss Poll will serve as princess
along with representatives from
many other colleges and
universities. While she doesn’t
enjoy the “celebrity” status of
Miss Ford or Hope, she has
credentials of her own. She will
be in the running for an award to
the princess with the most distant
hometown since she is from the
Truk Islands, a group ot
South Seas Islands located
midway between New Guinea
and Japan.
Its’ unlikely that Miss Ford or
Hope possess one of Ki-Ki’s
talents, which is performing a
grass-skirted Polynesian dance.
As Chowan’s representative,
the nineteen year old coed will be
involved in activities from
Friday afternoon. May 2, through
Sunday evening. She said she’s
looking forward to becoming
acquainted with the other
princesses and meeting Miss
Ford and Hope. This wiU be Miss
Poll’s first look at apple or
chards. Pineapples, rather than
apples, and coconuts are im
portant crops on her island of
Moen.
Ki-Ki is a typical young lady.
She is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Saeson Poll. She has three
brothers and three sisters. Her
oldest sister is attending college
in Aberdeen, Washington. Mr.
Poll is a Truk Island Com
municator, and Mrs. Poll is a
nurse. Ki-Ki graduated from
Maui HighSchool in Hawaii.
Her major at Chowan College is
Pre-Nursing. She is not sure
where she will continue her
education. She stated that she
may go back to the University of
Hawaii.

Among Ki-Ki’s hobbies are
sewing, reading, talking, and

New Curievi Policy
Begins March 23
By Mike Patterson
When Chowan’s women
students return to campus on
March 23 there will be a new
curfew policy in effect.
Details have not been finalized
yet, but the curfew will probably
be extended to 1:00 o’clock,
during the week. Dean Lewis
explained that the curfew had
been “extended to 1:00 o’clock
during the week, not so anyone
can enter or leave as they like,
but for the convenience of women
lecture hall, individual faculty
offices, and greenhouse.
Chowan’s academic dean. Dr.
B. Franklin Lowe, Jr., said the
43,6000 squ. ft., three-story
facility not only houses the
program for the science
department but mathematics
department as well. “Practically
every Chowan student will take a
at least one course in the new
facility, ” he noted.
Dr. Whitaker said through the
name selected for the new
building, the entire Camp Family
is honored “by calling particular
attention to two of its
distinguished representatives:
the Rev. Robert Rishop Savage,
and his daughter, Carrie Savage
Camp, a Chowan alumna.”
Miss Savage was one of nine
graduates of Chowan Baptist
Female Institute, Class of 1881.
Shortly thereafter, she was
married to the late James Lames
Leonidas Camp, Sr. (1857-1925),
one of the founders of Camp
Manufacturing Co., a
predecessor of Union Camp
Corporation.
“Carrie Savage Camp died in
1949, having lived a long and
useful life of service and devotion
to her family, her church, her
community, and her Alma
Mater,” stated Dr. Whitaker.
Her father, the Rev. Robert
Rishop Savage, was a prominent
Baptist minister in the area,
served on the Board of Trustees
of Chowan Bpatist Female In
stitute from 1879 to 1892, and was
chairman 11 years.
Miss Savage’s mother, who had
attended the Institute in 1854-55,
was the daughter of Tilman D.
Vann, a trustee of Chowan
Baptist Female Institute, 1849-
1865.

Under the new plan, the dorms
will be secured at 11:00 o’clock
and guests in the lounge will be
asked to leave. There will be a
Head Resident or Assistant Head
Resident and a student security
officer, on duty from 11:00 until
1:00.
This new curfew is for week
days only, with dorm curfews
operating on weekends as in the
past.
The Cafeteria Gripe Com
mittee held this months meeting
on Friday February 21. Acting as
chairman, Ben Sutton, vice-
chairman, Dean Lewis,
secretary^ Mrs. Sarah Wright.
Representative for the faculty,
Carl Sinunons and Dr. Carter.
The student representatives (one
from each dorm) were: Jeff
Reid, Harry Baird, Thomas
Carella, Keith Harver, Linda
Statton, and Betsy Bower. A
representaive from “Smoke
Signals”, Teresa Pike, and the
S.G.A. President, Cathy
Challenor. Others serving on the
committee are the residents and
assistant residents of the dorms,
and the Food Service Director,
IVIr. Danny Deskins.
The purpose the committee is
the bring to the attention of Mr.
Deskins constructive criticisms,
suggestions as to how to improve
the cafeteria situation, and new
ideas about different kinds of
food to serve.
The cafeteria opens at 7:00 for
breakfast and closes at 8:15. The
lunch and dinner hours are 11:30
to 1:15 respectively. At each
meal students are served one
tray and have no limits on
vegatables, breads, milk, and
beverages, and only one salad
and two desserts. A vegetarian is
allowed two salads, two desserts
and the regular, no limits on
vegetables.
Discussed at the meeting
Friday were the problems such
as sluggish lines, late silver, and
not enough dishes. Mr. Deskins
explained more dishes have been
ordered and should be here soon
but it is very difficult to keep up
with replacing the broken ones.
The SGA is wanting to sponsor
a campus wide program to be
called the “Rites of Spring.” The
program itself will be in the form
of a calender of campus spon
sored events.
The Committee in charge
sugguested several types of
activities including a tug-of-war,
climbing a greased pole, a pie
eating contest, a pie tlu-owine
contest, a faculty-student tennis
match, a faculty-student softball
game, a fishing contest, a car
bash, and a bicycle race.
This proposed calender of
events would take place after
Easter Sunday and would last
until graduation.
The “Rite of Spring” is a
program in itself and will not
replace the traditional “Spring
Festival.”
Who Has Access To Records
Without Permission
By: D. H. Nicholson
Who has access to a student’s
records without the latter’s
permission?
In the first two issues of Smoke
Signals, the reader of the reaser
of this column has been in
troduced to a preliminary
analysis of the so-called Buckley
Amendment. The first two
discussions have been centered
around, respectively, the
classification “educational
records” and the classification
“directory information.” In the
following paragraphs we will look
at those types of individuals or
agencies who do have access to a
student’s actual record (or to
receive personally indentifiable
information contained therein)
without the student’s consent.
In the revised Educational
Rights and Privacy Act,
teachers, administrators, and
other officials within the
educational institution or local
educational agency “who have
been determined by such agency
or institution to have legitimate
educational interests” may look
at the record or receive per
sonally indentifiable information
contained therein without the
student’s consent. The act goes
on to list others who may . have
access to such information
through the transfer or otherwise
of such to institutions or agen
cies: (1) To officials of other
schools or school systems in shich
the student seeks or, intends to
enroll, upon condition the student
be permitted to receive a copy of
the record if desired and be
permitted an opportunity for a
hearing to challenge the content
of the record. (2) To authorized
representatives of (a) the
Comptroller General of the
United States, (b) the Secretary,
(c) an administrative head of an
education agency (as defined in
the Act), or (d) State educational
authorities (as cited in the Act
and itemized in the last issue of
Smoke Signals). (3) To
authorities responsible for and
“in connection with a student’s
application for, or receipt of,
financial aid. (4) To State and
local officials or authorities to
which such information is
specifically required to be
reported or disclosed pursuant
state atatutes in effect on, or
prior to, November 19, 1974. (5)
To organizations conducting
studies for, or on behalf of
educational agencies or in
stitutions for the purpose of
edveloping, validating, or ad
ministering predictive tests,

programs, and improving in

Students will also be given the
opportunity to view physics
demonstrations, which will be
presentedfrom9:30a. m. to 12:30
p. m.
Nine science and four
mathematics professors will
participate aided by Chowan
students. The coordinatior is Dr.
Garth D. Faile, chairman of
Chowan’s science department.
Lunch, which will lie served
from 12:30-1 p. m. in Thomas
Cafeteria at $1 per studerit, is
optional.
The Chowan College Division of
Art will sponsor “A Drinking
Vessel Workshop” in ceramics
March 3-7. Jack Neff, resident
potter from Penland (N. C.)
School of Crafts will be the
visiting artist for the workshop.
Neff will demonstrate various
techniques of throwing on the
potters wheel. “He will make
several different types of
drinking vessels and produce
them in large quantities, from
200-300. Jack will also talk about
glazing, firing, and will show
slides of various forms of pot
tery,” noted Doug Eubank,
Chowan art professor.
The workshop will be held in
the ceramics studio of Green
Hall. Anyone interested in at
tending the workshop at anytime
during the week (even for an
hour) is welcome, Eubank said.
There is no fee.
“We hope many will take part
in this workshop and bring along
their family, friends, or
students,” stated Eubank.
Orders for drinking vessels
may be made by contacting Doug
Eubank in the art department at
Chowan. The prices range from
$l-$4 for the vessels.
Lady Braves Defeat
N. C. Wesiayan
The problem of the late silver
would most likely be abolished if
more students would put their
tray in the window and silver in
the pans to soak so they could be
washed so others could eat.
Other problems discussed were
the ketchup bottles and con
diments were not staying filled,
and finding dirty silver in the
clean silver trays. To remedy the
dirty silver all of it is now to be
soaked before washing and
rechecked after cleaned. The
staff will try to be a little more
efficient on keeping the con
diment filled.
Mr. Deskins expressed his
worries about waisted food and
the cost of breaking the trays,

defeated the same team earlier in
the season, 37-26.
Against VCU, the lady Braves
lost to “an excellent team,”
according to Coach Janet Collins.
Chowan trailed at the half, 40-27,
but VCU wore the Braves down
with their fullcourt press and
man to man defense. Woodard
was high for Chowan with 10
points followed by Anderson with
nine.
Annette Guyton of Oxford
paced Chowan in losses to Peace
and Christopher Newport with 15
and 26 points respectively. The
Braves, who had previously
defeated Newport, 62-41, trailed
at intermission, 34-30. The deficit
grew to 19 points in the second
half behind Newport’s deadly
outside shooting before Chowan
rallied. The Braves missed two
layups in the final two minutes
and lost four points in the record
for line violations on foul shots.

Other than what has been listed
above as the exceptions, or as
reported in the last issue of
Smoke Signals with a discussion
of the classification “Directory
Information,” or responding to
judicial process, pursuant to any
lawfully issued subpoena, upon
condition that parents and-or the
student are notified of all such
order orers or subpoenas in
advance of the compliance
therewith by the educational
institution or agency, a college
may not release “any personally
identifiable information in
education records or allow
anyone access to those records,
unless the student has given his
written consent “specifying
records to be released, the
reasons for such release, and to
whom.”
In the nest issue of this column,
we will look at some other parts
of the Buckley Amendment as
these parts might relate directly
to the Chowan student. For in
stance, we will want to look more
at court orders or subpoenas. We
will also look a bit closer at the
access of records to third and
forth parties.
Again, it must be emphasized
that any and all references to the
so-called Buckley Amendment
are the result of a reading and
analysis by this writer of the
actual section, formally known as
the Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act of 1974, revised,
and that the student himself
should read the Act to gain a
better and more personal un
derstanding. The preceding,
present, and following articles
are being published as a service
to the Chowan College student,
but as the Act comes under more
and more scrutiny from gover-
mental agencies, perhaps
decisions in court cases yet to
come, and future congresses, the
Act as we know it now may un
dergo significant change. Caveat
