On Tuesday evening, 7:30 P.M.,
Chowan’s BSU-CCF will host an
Associational Youth Rally in Robert Marks
Hall amphitheatre, with junior high - senior

Chair of Business Established
in Honor of Colgate Darden
A chair of business has been
established at Chowan College in
honor of former Virginia
governor, Colgate W. Darden, Jr.
of Norfolk.
The idea and initial gift for tht
Colgate W. Darden, Jr. Chair of
Business was made by W,
Eldridge Smith of Franklin, Va.,
a long-time friend of Darden’s.
The Board of Trustees of the
college unanimously authorized
the establishment of the chair,
the first at Chowan.
When fully funded, the chair
will provide a permanent en
dowment to underwrite the
services of a distinguished
professor in the department of
business. Chowan’s president,
Dr. Bruce E. Whitaker, ex
pressed the hope and belief that
funding for this endowed chair
would eventually reach a
minimum of $250,000.
Concerning the recom
mendation of Smith, a
businessman and life-long
Franklin resident, and approval
of the Board of Trustees, Dr.
Whitaker said, “In my judgment
the college will be honoring one of
Virginia’s outstanding
educational leaders and
statesmen of this century.”
Continued Chowan’s president,
“He has had wide and varied
experience in higher education,
politics on the state and national
levels, and in international
relations. Dr. Darden is con
sidered and known to be an
outstanding businessman,
especially in baning and in
vestments.
“Thro^hout his life he has
emphasized principles basic to a
democracy and the Judeo-
Christian religion - faith,
character, integrity and a type of
realistic optimism. In honoring a
man of the stature of Dr. Darden
through the naming of this chair
of business, Chowan College
brings honor to itself in a very
real sense. Dr. Whitaker com
mented.
In learning of the action,
Darden expressed the hope the
chair could be used to encourage
values such as honesty, integrity
and thriftiness.
He said Chowan, as a small,
church-related college, is in a
good position to instill these and
other values in its students.
On the practical side, he said
students need a “grasp of the
financial problems facing the
household. I don’t know of any
course more needed in the two-
year school than a thorough
course in just plain household
bookkeeping and affairs of a
family,” he explained.
Continued Darden, “Living has
become so complex now. 'There’s
so much to it that young people
starting offhave got to have more
instruction than they’ve had in
the past about anything.”
The Virginian statesman noted
a college should help its students
with such “basics” as handling
personal finances, credit cards
and charge accounts.
Darden also expressed a
concern for the teaching of
ethics. He said the painful lesson
of Watergate is the importance of
an “ethical foundation” to
America.
He offered the opinion the
church-related college should
join the church and the mean in
Western Civilization.” Darden
said America’s survival depends
upon the application of these
values in everyday living by its
citizens and government.
Darden delivered the com
mencement address at Chowan in
1971 and 1974. He received his
education at the University of
Virginia, Columbia University,
and Oxford University where he
studied with a Carnegie
Fellowship in International Law,
His service as an elected of
ficial includes the Virginia
General Assembly, four terms in
the U. S. House of Represen
tatives, and governor of Virginia
Two Points by FMA
Gives Seventh Defeat
Chowan’s College comeback
attempt fell two points short as
Frederick Military Academy
handed the Braves their seventh
defeat of the season, 93-91, here
Monday night.
Chowan fell 17 points behind
mid-way in the first half. The
Braves, urged on by their roaring
fans, closed the gap to 10 with
three minutes left and to seven at
the end of the half.
The Braves finally caught
Frederick at 72 with 9:37 left. The
teams traded baskets until
Chowan, trailing 82-80, missed
and the visitors grabbed an 84-80
lead. The teams again exchanged
baskets before Braves’ guard
Ralph Yost made up three of the
four points from the foul ine to
leave Chowan behind, 88-87.
That’s as close as Chowan could
make it although they missed an
opportunity to possibly win with
10 seconds left. Braves’ guard
Billy Martin had just made a
basket to pull the Braves within
one, 92-91. Chowan stole the ball
but forward Thomas Gentry
missed the shot. With one second
to go, Chowan foulded
Frederick’s shooting star, guard
Rick Reed, and he sank the first
for the final point.
The loss leaves Chowan with a
16-7 record. Frederick is 15-3 with
two of its losses to Chowan. The
Braves play an important home
conference game Wednesday at
7:30 p. m. against league-leading
Kittrell. Thursday, Chowan plays
its last regular season home
game against Jefferson College.
Payton with 26 points and
forward James Goffigan with 21
paced the Braves. Reed had 30
for Frederick.
from 1942 to 1946. He served as
chancellor of the College of
William and Mary from 1946-47
and then as president of the
University of Virginia from 1947-
1959.
Darden also served as
representative of the United
Nations in 1955 and member of
the President’s Consultants on
Foreign Intelligence and
