MARCH, 1957 THE CHOWANIAN Page Three PJC Scotties Edge Chowan Braves In the first contest of a two game series, the Chowan Braves were edged out by the Scotties of P. J. C., 78-75. Chowan scored first on a set phot by Dan Griffin, but the Scott ies were quick to even the score. The scoring for both teams dur ing this quarter was slow, as both teams were trying to spot the oth er’s weaknesses. P. J. C. had the edge by four points as the quar ter ended. The Scotties opened up a siz3- able lead as the period got under way. As time rolled on, their offense bucklcd down to the task before t lem. Glover and Griffin s.unned the Presbyterian team as they constantly sank t'leir long set shot,;. Ti e Braves main souice of trouble was a forward named Jolly, v.'ho was hard to beat both on offense and defense. The score was tied. 38 all at the half. Chowan again looked sharp as third quarter play got started The game was stiil close, however, as neither team was able to get a sizoablr: lead. The Braves led by a small 3 point margin at the end of the period. After the last quarter got under way, the lead changed hands sev eral times. The superior reboun ding skills of reserve center, Phil Collins, finally put Chowan ahead. Collins’ all-rounded ability con tinued to spark his teamatcs as the game progressed. With about three minutes left, the Scotties took over the lead, and thanks to a well maneuvered freeze, held on to it until the end of the game. Collins, Griffin and Jones each contributed 15 points to the Bra ves cause, while Glover and Yates had 14 and 11 points apiec?, with McDonald and Simmons scoring 18 and 10 points respectively. Campbell Sinks Chowan 75-68 W The Campbell C>R1£U -defeat-’ ed the Chowan Braves for a sec ond time this year in a close game played on the home court of Cho wan. The Braves’ next home games will be with I,ouisbur" on Feb. 5, and Wingate tn Feb. 9. These are Chowan’s last games before the start ol the Junior College Tourn ament in Wilmington on Feb. 14. At the start af the game. Coach Ike Davis switched positions on Byi'd and Jones, putting Byrd at forward and Jones at center.

As a matter of fact it carries subscriptions to seventy magazines, not including religi ous publications. Y. W. A.’s do you know that your window is in the Library? Here are a few of the interes ting articles. Popular Science is a good publication. (How about returning the file of this book if you are the one who borrowed?) I know Mr. Williams would be astounded but pleased if one of nis U. S. History students would read the article “How Lincoln Modernized the Science of War”. Futhermore, students of U. S. History, might-jind the acticles -’-n’fi^'Shristianity Today entitled “God and the Continental Con gress” most applicable to the study of the Constitution. One hears much about the ef fects of the atomic bomb these days. Mr. Johnson might like a report on the articles “Will Bomb Dust Endanger Your Health?” In Popular Science. Scientific American this month has many articles of interest to students of science. Is anyone in your family (or maybe you) considering the pur- Missionary Pays Visit to Chowan Coy Long, representing the Lis ten Campaign of the Baptists Unions of the Baptist Colleges of North Carolina’s summer mission ary to Alaska, spent February 14, at C/iowan College, speaking at Chapel at 11:00 o’c'ock, visiting with the students in the afternoon, .ihovving pictures of people and scenes ivi Alaska which he took last j. mmer, at Vespers at 6:30 o’clock, aiiJ again at a missio;iary meeting aolO'.vn at night. Coy is from Whitesvi'ie, N. C. 0 gi-auvated from Campbell Col- ;.d ias, Jvne, and spe.it the first ;emes er of this year at Wake For safe the new models are, how much more gas they use, and how the smaller tires will wear out more quickly than the con ventional ones. The reader will note, however that more encour aging reports are found in Popu lar Science and Popular Mecha nics. Business students may be sur prised to know that a typewriter can be cleaned by ducking it in to a kitchen sink. Such is what a report in Popular Science says. The Atlantic has an absorbing article on “What Russian Stu dents Think”, and Fortune has two illuminating articles: “How Good is Soviet Science?” and Russia: the Power and the Peo ple”. Be sure to read “The Secrets of Jamestown” in the Saturday Evening Post (Feb. 9) because Mr. Williams is working on a plan for the entire student body to attend this big celebration in April. “A hint to the wise is suffi cient”; therefore, I suggest that you read or at least look through all the magazines and use them in your classes. You will find new facts for each of your clas ses. Then you can watch your grades improve. Way Of Life B/ LYNN GRICE It is a pleasure for me to have this opportunity and means of wel coming you to Chowan and the “Chowan way of life.” Our way of life embodies many things—ath letics, student government, music, and many other student activities. Each has its own place on the cam pus, each is vital and important to those it affects. However, proba bly the most responsible and most influential work is that connected with student government. Student government is divided into three branches—judicial, legi- lative, and executive. In each of these three branches there are openings for all students. Each elects its own officers, and any one, regardless of class, may seek office in the student legislature. In addition to these elected posi- j. v :.ers he is a jjnior, a’fter! tions, there are numerous com- ;p3 ;di'.ig the summer as a student i mittees, commissions, and activi- -Tiiisionary in Alaska. He did such : ties functioning all the tirne,^^anu _ood \v'ork there that he has been c'losen by the Director of Missions of Alaska to go to the University of Alaska for two years to complete i.is undergraduate work and work toward master’s degree. This is not a large university, having only 700 undergraduate students, but it has a large nuumber of teachers com pared to the students, about one teacher to each 15 students. Coy leaves for Fairbanks, Alaska, next week, driving through from Detroit. The distance is 6,000 miles; iie hopes to make the trip in two weeks. He will worl- as a mis sionary until fall, when he will enter there are always openings in these groups for interested groups for interested persons. I cannot point out clearly enough the fact that all student govern ment doors are wide open to any one. All you must do is make your interest and desires known. THIS IS A JOKE? Olive Y. bought a cig?r, and hen left. Five Minutes later dsshed back to the store. “Tha cigar,” he shouted, “is simply awful.” ‘It’s all very v.ell for you to the University. The good wishes of ■ complain,” said the storekeeper, all at Chowan go with him as he' 'you’ve get only one. I’ve got goes on this journey. ' hundreds of the darn things.” Chowan Honors Students of Month Chowan Coeds Appreciate Sir Walter Coeds at Chowan still appreci ate the Sir Walter Raleigh type of chivalry. “In fact one of the first things a girl notices about a boy is his manners”, they say. When asked her oninion of the status of male chivalry and cam pus Joe Allen said, “It’s generally good, but could be improved”. Another coed, Betsy Cadle, quickly replied, “Chivalry? It’s dead.” Chivalry around here includes a broad meaning. One coed de fined it as an attitude that a boy has toward a girl, chiefly one of onsideration and respect for her as a girl. “A boy can make a girl more aware of his masculinity and her feminity by opening doors for her, helping her across streets, carry ing her books and acting as a mat ured student. However, the modern girl is apt to do things herself in a subconsc ious effort to gain masculine eq uality, thus losing the effect of her feminine charm. Often she will criticize a boy for lack of manners when she herself is to blame. But, even though our modern coed is torn between the desire for masculine equality and the desire to be the weaker sex, the latter has proved to be the strong er of the two. Betty Liverman said, “The most effective way for a boy to impress a girl is through his manners, particularly on the first date. This month the spotlight falls on Jean Long and Charlie Whitley of the Freshman class; Betsy Cadle and Lynn Grice of the Sophomore class. Jean, a popular co-ed from Hert ford, is a music major whose hob bies are mainly playing the piano: C«..-J_ and singing. She enjoy’s her church /VVUSICQI OOUnQS work and is a member of the worn- : ans Judiciary, the Glee Club and Corninrj prOm the Dramatics Club. Everybody is j ^ Jean’s friend but one that is at the ! |q | f-|Q j | top of her list is a guy named Mic key. Charlie Whitley is a freshman who hails from Murfreesboro. After finishing Chowan, he plans to trans fer to Carolina. He is studious, fri endly, and is seen around campus, mainly in class or in the student center. Charlie is a member of the Chowanian Staff and a day student, representative for the Men’s stu- dC'. t Council. Although he doesn’t care for the men “Presley Caze’ From Memorial Hall come var ious sounds.

He likes music, girls, food, girls, Ohve, girls, and is not too hep on getting up in the morning or going to bed early. He is noted for his magnetic per sonality and his “unique” quiet ness! He is a top-notch abundavita time, hoping that our grades did not beat us there.

Commencement Exercises-1875 In 1875 it seems that a boat, the “Bertie,” sailed from Wind sor—destination Chowan Bap tist Female Institue. Among the passengers were those who were coming to see their loved ones graduate from the college. Af ter a day or so of sailing on the Albermarle Sound and the Cho wan River, the number of pass engers having increased at ev ery landing, the good ship “Ber tie” reached her destination. On this day July 6, 1875, hour 3:30 P.M. the travelers had reached their destination. At 8 P.M. on the same day the annual sermon was delivered in the College Chapel by a Ports mouth minister. On the 7th, the day of Com- wax works, for the program to begin. At 8:30 A.M. the exer- ci?es commenced (to put it in the language of the day.) Es says written by members of the graduating class, were read. The speakers for the occasion were Major Robert Bringham and a Colonel Singletary of the 44th North Carolina Regiment. There were 130 pupils in the In stitute at this time. Cabin Fire A fire broke out in the fur nace room of cabin 531. It was quickly extinguished however, m.encement arrived.
