Approximately 300 students will begin their studies for the spring term on January 28, according to The Reverend Ross A. Cadle, vice- president of the college in charge of student solicitation. As of this date there have been 34 applications accepted from new students for admission to the sec ond semester, bringing the total en rollment to an all time high, provid ing there are not too many "drop outs” from the present roster. In his duties of solicitation. Rev. Cadle travels throughout the cen tral and eastern parts of North, Carolina and southeastern Virginia. He visits high schools and talks with the senior classes^ telling them the advantages of a college lucation and why they should btf- Igin their education at Chowan. He I outlines courses offered and the I curriculum to follow for transfer- I ring to other cc^eges. ! Many students come to Chowan because former grades tell them about the college and recommend it An interesting survey of 40 pres ent Graphic Arts students, in which they were asked “what influenced you to come to Chowan?” was made when they registered. The results show 13 influenced by former students, three by Vets Administration, 11 by newspaper stories they read, one by State Re habilitation, four by college’s re presentative, one by Baptist church, four by high school printing instructors, two by high school coach, one by former dean. Choir Presents Christmas Music Attired in festive white robes with red bows, and performing in front of a beautiful set which re sembled a tier of organ pipes, the Chowan College a cappella choir presented, on Tuesday night De cember 17, in the college auditori um, its annual Christmas Concert. The program, entitled, “A Cere mony of Carols,” was a presenta tion in song and narrative, of the story of the first Christmas. Pro fessor James Brisson, chairman of the Chowan College Music Depart ment, directed the choir, and his wife, Mrs. Claire Brisson, was the narrator. During the concert, the choir sang lovely arrangements of the more familiar Christmas carols, as well as some which are heard more infrequently, such as, “0 Come, O Come, Emmanuel” and “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.” Soprano Lillian Carter was the featured soloist of the evening. Ac- Drive Pledges Total $447,000 On Monday mght, January 6, a number of workers in the Chowan College Enlargement-Development Program gathered in the college dining room for a dinner-report meeting. Dr. Raleigh Parker of Woodland, chairman of Chowan’s Board of Trustees, presided over the meeting and President Bruce E. Whitaker was the speaker. When all reports were in and tabulated, it was learned that more than $447,000 has been pledged or paid toward the enlargement of the college. The campain, which has as its goal, $750,000, began in September, after the Chowan College Board of Trustees had outlined and approved a long-range development pro gram. This effort is designed to provide six new buildings for the campus plus an .addition to the present Graphic Arts building. In commenting on the total monies and pledges reported at the meeting, Dr. Whitaker said: “The College administration and trus tees are very pleased with the fine and generous response to the cam paign made by the people of eastern North Carolina and south eastern Virginia.” He went on to comment that the support given by the people of the Roanoke-Chowan area was es pecially gratifying in light of agri cultural adversities throughout the entire area which had left their mark on Roanoke-Chowan busi ness in general. “The response to the Chowan Enlargement-Development Cam paign, by individuals, banks and other institutions, strengthens our purpose to reach our goal,” Dr. Whitaker said, “and gives us con fidence that the people of the area serv^ by Chowan College are de termined to continue their financial support and co-operation.” Chowan’s aggressive young leader concluded by saying: “In light of the cam^ign response thus far, and the approximately 40 per cent increase m support of the college by the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina in the year 1958, Chowan’s place of leadership and service in the realm of Christian Higher Education for the youth of this area has never been brighter.” companied at the piano by her mother, Mrs. Judson Carter of Woodland, she sang “I Wonder as I Wander” and “0 Holy Night.” Members of the Chowan College a cappella choir are as follows: Sopranos: Anne Brown, Gates- ville; Pat High, Red Oak; Joanne White, Winston-iSalem: Lillian Car ter, Woodland; Audrey Adams, Durham; and Shelby Jean Crocker, Nashville.

Girls BB Team Very Successful The Chowan College girls and boys can well be proud of their girl’s basketball team. So far tUs year the girls have had a very suc cessful season. They haven’t lost a game. Although the girls were inactive during the Christmas holidays they began their cage drills as soon as they returned. Joanne White, a former star on the R. J. Reynolds High School and Wake Forest College teams, has lead the team in scoring. Her aver age has been in the twenties for the previous games. Others in the scoring bracket are Reba Hale, Conway; Ruby Webb, Stantonsburg; Pat Moore, Dur ham, and Vivian Pugh, Great Bridge, Va. Outstanding on defense are Mar garet Strickland, Jessica Vann and Sandra Liverman. These all-stars have really been showing their colors. They have not allowed any team to get as many as 40 points. What better defense could one ask for? Sometimes we fail to give the guards such credit as they deserve, but next time you see the Chowan girls play, notice the defense. Watch those girls get the ball across the center line. Braves Upset PJC By. Score Of 72-51 The Chowan College Basketball Braves went on the warpath on January 11, to massacre the Scot ties of Presbyterian Junior College by a 20 point margin. After half of this conference game had been, played, Chowan led 36-24. At the finish of an unusually- exciting second half, it was Chowan 72, P.J.C. 51. The Braves’ practice over the Christmas holidays obviously im proved them to no end. This was the second win since C!hristmas over a team to whom they had lost before Christmas. In this game they hit 18 out of 20 free-throws. The Braves’ hign-scorers for this game were Phil Collins with 21 points and Dan Griffin with 11. The Scottiei were led by Thomas with 19 and Boles with 13.
