Most were made this past summer. He has also contributed three drawings and two pain tings. The subjects of David Parker’s paintings are from the New Testament and life of Christ. They include drawings, prints, and watercolors. Craig Greene, director of Chowan’s division of art, praised the artists’ works. “Doug’s works prove that he has developed into an accomplished, professional potter. They are really beautiful. His glazes are very colorful,” Greene noted. “During the summers, he has studied under some of the nation’s finest potters. To be fully appreciated, one needs to see the pottery for himself. Doug’s works have become sensitive and ex- pressive,“Green stated. Greene s.'ud Parker “has come up with some very personal and human insights into the life and times of Christ. Christ is por trayed as he must have been, a commoner among common people, yet with a transcedent love for humanity.” Continued Greene, “David’s works are very expressive. He has labored to build up color onto nesday prior to the beginning of classes Thursday, Aug. 26. The three new professors are William Hoyt McIntyre, Jr., who will teach photography; Michael Scott Gosey who will teach mathematics; and Dwight C. Collier, who will teach graphic arts. The new staff member is Neal Peterson, assistant director of admissions. He is a graduate of Chowan College, class of 1971, and East Carolina University with the B.S. and M.A. de^ees. He also received certification in administration at ECU. He was the ECU tennis coach during the 1975-76 school year and head tennis instructor for the Greenville recreation depart- color to give a sense of depth, richness and create the mood for the particular subject.” Parker’s painting include several of the miracles which are done, Greene said, “so very ef fectively without being overly spectacular.” Greene explained Parker has selected a very difficult subject matter. “Many of the ^eat ar tists through the centuries have painted the life of Christ. It’s hard to deal with anything new. Also, bad artists have given us art from the New Testament that is sweet, oversimplified and distorted, and technically poor. David had to combat both the good and bad.” Greene said Parker has suc ceeded. He told of a student who paid a second visit to the gallery. “The student said he sensed something much deeper to the works than he was able to comprehend on his first look,” Greene explained. Greene said the reason is that Parker’s works “grow from his own deep commitment and belief in the scriptures.” Greene invited the public to visit the gallery, located in Daniel Hall, on the Chowan campus. Student-Faculty Discount Available at Sheratons BOSTON-Bargain-hunting, economy-minded college students and faculty members are eligible for a 25 percent discount at Sheraton hotels and motor inns around the world. Reservations may be made two ways: by using the toll-free central reservations phone (800-325-3535) in the continental United States or through any Sheraton reservations office overseas. Students and faculty members should identify themselves when checking in or when making reservations and request the discount. “It’s a very simple system”, explains Larry K. Walker, director of rooms operations tor Sheraton. “If the particular hotel or inn decides that guest rooms will be available for discount sale, students or faculty members can have the discount just by asking for it when making their reservation in advance.” If the management at individual hotels and inns feel they will not sell every room on certain nights, they can make the rooms available at a 25 percent discount for traveling college students or faculty members. “The discount pertains to the regular rate for the room which is occupied - not just a 25 percent reduction on the highest priced room,” Walker adds. “For instance, if you check into Sheraton-Park in Washington, D.C., or the Sheraton-Universal in Hollywood and the normal price is $24, and it’s available, student and faculty members can get it for $18 plus taxes,” For students and faculty members planning trips, free Sheraton directories are available at every Shsraton hotel or motor inn, or by writing to Directory, The Sheraton Cor poration, 470 Atlantic Ave., Boston, MA 02210. The directory not only includes every Sheraton open but those planned for the near future and complete list of overseas reservations offices. Soccers Get Socked ment in the summers of 1974-75. Peterson is a native of Sampson Co. WUUam Hoyt McIntyre, Jr. is a Wilson County native and a graduate of Western Carolina University. He has served as photographer and writer with two North Carolina newspapers, the Spring Hope Enterprise and the Waynesville Mountaineer. He was also a photographer with the Paragon Yearbook Corp. in Wilson, and the Western Carolina office of public in formation. He served as a free lance photographer and for the past year was a reporter- photographer for Associated Press. Michael Scott Gosey graduated with the B.S. and M.A. degrees from VPI. The Rutherfordton native taught freshman math courses for two years at VPI as a graduate teaching assistant. Dwight C. Collier of Goldsboro holds a degree in printing technology from Chowan College Chowan soccer club’s first game of the season brings defeat, but hopes for a winning season is still hopeful. Along with a lot of returning veterans the club has a lot of new prospects, and after a couple of games where the players can get use to each other the lost bracket will turn to the winning bracket. Chowan opened up last year also against Virginia Wesley and lost 10-1. They returned this year in hopes for revenge but saw it slowly slip away as Virginia Wesley won 5-0. Chowan stayed close to Virginia Wesley in the early goings, but after a penalty kick and a quick goal Chowan found themselves behind 2-0. Chowan was able to hold Wesley What Chowan Owes SGA I shall not make a speech. AH that I have to say is happening in this session. I wish oriy to call your attention to what is visibly evident. We are meeting in an SGA Workshop. We are students, faculty, and staff. We are con cerned for an effective SGA. We have before us the SGA Con stitution. We are speaking openly and honestly to each and are listening to each other. Everything that Chowan owes the SGA is present and or happening. It requires only a few words to identify what Chowan owes the SGA. In one word Chowan owes the SGA opportunity. In my judgement the opportunity must be a three-fold one: (1) the op portunity to be a viable force in the life of the College, (2) the opportunity to act in an orderly and constructive manner, and (3) the opportunity to grow in responsibleness. If the SGA is to be a viable force to Chowan, it must be of ficially approved and be given a voice. This workshop is evidence that Chowan not only approves of an SGA but desires that SGA speak and act effectively. The ^A should speak openly for and to the student body. It is visibly evident in this moment that administrative staff and faculty will listen when the SGA speaks candidly. If SGA is to be effective in representing students, machinery is needed. The SGA must have an effective method. This is provided in the SGA Constitution which defines and identifies the orderly way of procedure in presenting student needs and complaints to the administration. The SGA has been quilty in the past of ignoring the constitution and in doing so, it has been ineffectual. The con stitution provides for the proper procedure in changing the con stitution when this is advisable. College is a maturing ex perience. All students should grow in responsibleness. If SGA is to assume an enlarging role in the governance of students at Chowan, it must mature in responsibleness. The SGA must not only speak for students but listen to staff and communicate back to students all that is said. To accomplish this end this workshop has been arranged and faculty advisors have been ap pointed. In summary, Chowan owes the SGA a voice, and effective method, training and counsel in assuming a maturing role in the life on Chowan. My last word is: the opportunity is live, take it. and received the B.S. at East Carolina University.

The Merchandising Management program will be under the direction of Mrs. Betty Francis, who formerly headed the Nancy Taylor self- improvement course at Chowan. “The outlook for job op portunities in sales and marketing for 1980’s is tremendous,” noted Thomas Ruffin, chairman of the depart ment of business.

As the second halt got underway Chowan came close to scoring several times but were never successful. Then after another penalty kick and a quick steal on the kick off the score was in creased to 4-0. In the final minutes of the game Virginia Wesley scored for their last goal which left Chowrn on the short end, 5-0. Chowan travels next Tuesday to Fayetteville Methodist College. Chowan lost last year 5-2 but they are planning to turn the tide this year. The soccer club has a long hard season ahead but with all the players working together the season has a bright future.
