What makes us say in expressing
our opinions is that the younger
generation may say that we ought
to drop dead.
To hire anybody to get my name

do precisely that.
Student's Wife Victim of Accident
Mrs. James Harold Roberson,
whose husband is a sophomore at
Chowan, was killed in an automo
bile accident on Monday morning,
December 22nd at two o’clock.
Mrs. Roberson was returning
with her husband to his home near
Washington, N. C., for the Christ
mas holidays, and in a car a short
distance ahead Mr. Roberson’s
parents were driving. The elder
Robersons’ car collided with a car
parked, reportedly without lights,
in the middle of the road. When the
Chowan student saw that his
father’s car had run into this car,
he got out to -render assistance.
While he was trying to push the
parked car out of the road, his
father was waving a flashlight
across the road to warn oncoming
vehicles. A sailor, approaching in
a car had seen the accident, and
parked his car some distance down
the road and came to offer his
help. In a few minutes a heavy
tractor-trailer came at a reportedly
high rate of speed and almost ran
over the father, he being saved
from death when the sailor yanked
him out of the way just in time.
The tractor-trailer then ran into
the two Roberson cars, parked one
behind the other. The impact
knocked the car in front over a
fifteen-foot embankment and fatally
injured Mrs. James Roberson, who
was in the second car. She was
taken to the Williamston General
Hospital, but died on the way. The
senior Mrs. Roberson had left the
car in which she was riding when
the first accident occurred or she
may have been killed also.
The funeral for Mrs. Roberson
was held on December 24th, in
Washington, N. C., and burial was
in the Oakdale Cemetery of that
community.
An inquest was held at Windsor
on Thursday, December 26th, and
the truck diiver and the negro of
the unlighted parked car wiU be
tried in February on charges of
manslaughter.
Mr. and Mrs. Roberson had been
members of the Chowan College
community only since September.
Last year as freshmen they at
tended Guilford College, and it was
there that they met. They were
married on August 10th at the Nor-
view Methodist Church, Norfolk.
Mrs. Roberson was from that city,
where her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
W. P. Davis live.
While in Murfreesboro, Mrs.
Roberson had been employed as
a receptionist at the Holland Funer
al Home. The couple had lived
across the street at the home of
Mrs. Godwin Jenkins. They had be
come acquainted with a large num
ber of townspeople and the college
family, and many expressions of
deep sympathy have been received
by the bereaved husband.
He returned to the campus to
resume his studies on January 2nd,
the opening day of the post-holiday
period.

Those who scoff at the practi

ponder the words of the late Rear

WOMEN'S JUDICIARY—Officers of the Chowan College Women’s Judiciary, pictured left to
right, are: Kaye Powell, Roanoke Rapids, vice-president; Janice Cranford, Mooresville, presi
dent; Jessica Vann, Murfreesboro, secretary. Standing: Bobbfe Wilson, Scotland Neck, hall
monitor; Patsy Edwards, Murfreesboro, day student representative; Reba Hale, Conway, hall
monitor; Pat Moore, Durham, hall monitor.
Student Government has again
become the talk of the campus here
at Chowan. This time it is hoped
that it will function properly and
be successful.
The Women’s Judiciary is a very
important part of student goveta-
ment and for this reason all stu
dents should know its members
and its functions.
The aims of the Women’s
Judiciary are to aid in better living
conditions for boarding women stu
dents at Chowan; to aid in develop
ing women as leaders; and help
in the improvement of the college
as a whole.
The membership consists of a
president, four representatives
from the dormitory and one day
student, making a total of six mem
bers.
Candidates for the judiciary are
elected from an eligible list of the
incoming sophomores and they
must have an average of "C”, have
a good spirit toward the organiza
tion, and show evidence of leader
ship.
The judiciary meets every two
weeks, special meetings being
called if the need arises. The Dean
of Women, or her designated
representative, attends each meet
ing.
The officers of the judiciary hold
office for a school term. It is their
duty to report any infraction of
rules, or any conduct detrimental
to the life on the campus to the
regular meetings of the judiciary.
In most cases the judiciary takes
care of the disciplinary problems
However, if the problem is of a
very serious nature, it is referred
to the Student Affairs Committee
which is made up of faculty mem
bers.
