Macho Image
Bad ?
By SARAH WRIGHT
Director of Health Services
Many little boys have been told “men
don’t cry.” We have all admired the
super-hero In movies. Isn’t it natural
then, that men and society expect them
to live the macho role?
Healthwise, which is a publication of
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North
Carolina, has provided the following in
formation on the Macho Man.
“Bringing up little boys to be rough
and tough may not be such a good idea.
“For when they grow into men who
live out macho roles, they may pay with
their health. Macho roles stress aggres
sion, strength and virility.
“Not all men turn out to have repress
ed emotions, a need to dominate and
perform, or a fear of close friendships
with other males. But these are traits
which do lead to poor health.
“Studies show men commit suicide
three to four times more often than
women. They have a 40 percent higher
cancer rate and a 400 percent higher
rate of heart disease.
“Even as little boys, they have
disorders such as being out of touch
with reality (autism), impaired read
ing ability (dyslexia) and stuttering,
300 to 400 times more often than girls.
“Psychologists attribute much of this
to too much machismo. ”
SCHOLARSfflPS

Two scholarships in the amount
of $200 each are available.
Applicants must have financial
need, be Southern Baptist, and be
from a mountain area of the
United States.
Anyone who meets the qualifi

Public Vs Privates

meet their commitments to their stu
dents, or else the students simply won’t
go to their school.”
Hodgkinson found private schools in
the Northeast, centred Midwest and the
far West, particularly California, are
having the hardest time keeping up this
fall.
Public colleges, by contrast, are do
ing better. North Carolina’s Gaston Col
lege’s population increased primarily
“due to the financial climate,” Gas
ton’s registrar concludes.
Larger public campuses are also pro
fiting. Indiana University’s enrollment
rose 10 percent. Lesser increases were
recorded at Texas, Idaho, Colorado
State, use, Akron, and Missouri,
among other large state schools, and at
a vast majority of community colleges
contacted by College Press Service.
In most cases, officials think money
— either aid cuts or inflation — is the
reason for the increases. Steve Gior
dano, registrar at State University of
New York at Old Westbury, for one,
thinks the eight-to-10 percent enroll
ment jump there derives from “im
proved advertising, promotion and a
campus bus service for our commuting
students.”
“Students,” he explains, “are looking
for schools closer to home. Money-wise,
it’s better to stay at home.”

By K. LYNNE HARRIS
Phi Theta Kappa conducted its
regional leadership conference at

The Iota Delta chapter hosted the
event.
Seventy-three students from North
Carolina and South Carolina attended.
Upon arrival they were welcomed by
Dean Franklin Lowe.

was Dr. Harry Blamires. The topic of
Dr. Blamires’ lecture was “Christiani
ty in Twentieth Century English
Literature”.
On Saturday the group attended a
presentation by Dr. Allan Pridgen, Dr.
John Davis, and Dr. Kenneth Wolfskill.
The topic was “Literature in the
Human Condition — Three Views of
Modem Man: Twain, Hemingway,
O'Connor”. A trip was also taken to

joyed, Busch Gardens and Colonial
Williamsburg.

Surgeon At
Chowan
On Tuesday, November 10, Dr. David
Gilbert, of Plastic Surgery Specialists,
Inc., Norfolk, will speak on “Cosmetic
and Reconstructive Surgery in the
’80s.” The program will be sponsred by
the Professional Development classes
under the direction of Mrs. Elizabeth L.
Francis, coordinator of Chowan’s Mer
chandising Management curriculum.
The public is invited to attend the
presentation and encouraged to ask
questions.
Since the use of plastic surgery in
eradicating birthmarks, facial blem
ishes, and sagging flesh has become so
commonplace, both teenagers and
adults in Mrs. Francis’ Personal
Development classes have raised ques
tions about such possibilities. Mrs. Bet
ty Ford’s much publicized facelift has
increased the popularity of “eye-lifts,
chin-lifts and dermabrasion for
removal of fine skin lines.” Her
frankness about her mastectomy has
caused more public awareness about
recontructive breast surgery
Dr. Gilbert ’specializes in micro
surgery and neuro-plastic surgery as
well as cosmetic surgery. As such he is
sought after by athletes and people
from all walks of life.
The program will be presented in
Marks Hall Auditorium at 7:30 p.m.,
Tuesday, November 10. Inquires about
the presentation may be made by call
ing Mrs. Francis at Chowan College.
Wreck
. (From Page 1)
automobile had skidded. This sort of
statements sparked a fight between the
farmer and a neighbor who had been
watching, and refused to move when
the farmer told him to.
May then had to focus his attention on
the fight, instead of the driver, whom he
had handcuffed and literally carried to
the patrol car. The men were rolling in
the grass, grunting and yelling, and it
was some time before May could sepa
rate them.
One of the spectators, a member of
Professor Thomas Ditt’s photography
101 class, added tension to the scene
when she yelled, “Oh no, he’s gonna fry
here,” when May ventured too close to
the hot wires.
Ditt’s class was at the scene because
they had been told to go down the street
and shoot some pictures for that day’s
class activity.
Naturally, the accident provided an
opportunity they would not have had if
it had happened any earlier or later
than it did.
It happened when it did because it
was all planned and put in effect by
Ditt, Chowan’s Drama Department and
the Murfreesboro Police Department.
The police used the accident as a train
ing session for the policemen, and the
drama students also enjoyed the ex
perience.
Belinda Boston didn’t stop with tak
ing pictures, she was also asking ques
tions of the bystanders.
“Basic journalism; many times they
(the photographers) will get to the
scene and be the only news source
there, and they will have to be rejwrter
and photographer,” according to Ditt.
“We owe a big thanks to the Mur
freesboro Police Department, and to
Chief Ed Harris and Officer May,” Ditt
commented.
Harris, too, was well pleased with the
exefcise.
“It gave the students and the officers
a chance to interact in something that
benefited each of them. We were glad to
take part,” he said.
“Photography students participated
in a spot news assignment where some
of them might have been killed if this
had been a real situation,” Ditt related.
He summed up his feelings about the
project this way: “I can’t help but be
happy and proud of the way they re
act^ today. Many of these students
had picked up a camera only three
weeks ago. If they can shoot a wreck
(as they did today) with their limited
experience, you can’t help but be proud
of their performance.”
In fact, the scene was so believable,
that Nurse Sarah Wright had to be
reassured by one of the faculty mem
bers that the accident was staged.
The cast of the accident was: Alan
Johnson the inebriated driver; Angela
Cockrall the distraught mother; Joe
Mayes the gnunpy landowner; Frank
Underwood a neighbor, and Becky
Hinzman another neighbor.
Mrs. Sandra Boyce, director of the
drama department, who supplied the
actoi« for the production, stated,
'^rom what I have heard, it went well.
11 was staged well and acted well, so
that it achieved the purpose that the
teacher had intended.”
■ Mrs. Boyce added, “It was a good
learning experience for the students in
volved.”

The Brown Lady
A Living Legend
By MAE WOODARD
When people ask what is the most
talked-about tradition at Chowan, what
is thought of first? Off-campus pig-
pickings and parties might be the most
widely received answers.
That is not the most talked-about
tradition though, it is the story of the
“Brown Lady.”
The “Brown Lady’s” story is of a girl
who died while in school. One tradition
says that the spirit of loyalty to Chowan
so pervaded her life that she returned
again from the dead to test the loyalty
of the students and to see if they had
fallen away from the lofty ideals of
Chowan.
There are many versions of this tale.
The most commonly heard would be the
tale that began in 1962. In this tale, a
Southern soldier was her lover who had
to go off to war and had made a tryst
with her that someday he would return
to her.
Then the message came one day that
he had died and she was so filled with
mourning that on the same night she
also died. Now they say she returns to
the campus searching for her long-lost
lover.
It is written that the “Brown
Lady”makes her appearance at
Chowan each year to test the loyalty of
the students and to instill the spirit of
loyalty in each freshman by an im
pressive ceremony.
Today the students at Chowan keep
the story of the “Brown Lady” living.
Many students get together and dress
up in “brown” and go around trying to
scare believers and nonbelievers. So
the next time a student thinks he or she
has encountered the “Brown Lady,"
ask her to walk through a wall.
