GA Students
Visit Camp
Paper Mills
By JOE SUMLER
On Thursday, March 6, the
students of the Graphic Arts de
partment were the guests of the
Camp Manufacturing Company
in Franklin, Virginia. The stu
dents, along with their instruc
tors, were given a tour of the
plant, a film on conservation,
and dinner. After dinner the
group was led in a discussion of
the plant by Dr. A. P. Yundt,
the technical director for the
Union Bag-Camp Paper Corpor
ation, who acted as host and
guide to the group the entire
day.
The day started at the com
pany with a movie at around
nine o’clock in the morning. The
film was on the supolv of wood
pulp and how the plant worked
to restore the forest they cut and
make sure there was no unnec
essary wast of raw materials.
Very interesting was the fact
that the Camp mill uses every
part of the wood they cut. They

GA Staff at
Raleigh For
Conference
The three staff members of
the Roy Parker School of Print
ing at Chowan College, John
McSweeney, William B. Sowell
and Harold Brown spent Friday
and Saturday March 21-22, in
Raleigh attending the Mechani
cal Conference of the North
Carolina State College.
On Friday they visited the
printing plant of Edwards and
Broughton, the largest in Ral
eigh, where they saw Janice
(Dew) Whitley, Teletypesetter
perforator operator graduate of
this school. It was interesting to
learn how popular Janice was
with employers and employees
alike and that a new raise has
brought her salary almost to the
$100.UO a week scale (37% hour).
Friday night the group visited
the News and Observer. There
also was a graduate of this de
partment, Howard Hughes, an
other Teletypesetter perforator
operator. Howard, it was learn
ed, is now making $105.00 for
a hour week.
Represenatives of Linotype,
Intertype and other printing
machinery manufacturers as
well as suppliers, attend this
plant Managers, superintendents
and foremen. Through their in
terest in Chowan’s graphic Arts
department, equipment valued
at many thousands of dollars
has been donated to this school.
More equipment will soon be
available, making possible an
increased enrollment in the de
partment.

Committee
of 25 Here
By DR. BRUCE E. WHITAKER
The editor of our very fine col
lege newspaper has asked me to
say a few words to our students
and friends through the news
paper concerning the Committee
of 25 of the Baptist State Con
vention of North Carolina. I am
happy to comply with his re
quest.
The Committee of 25 was set
up by vote of the messengers
to the Baptist State Convention
which met in 1916 at First Bap
tist Church, Winson-Salem. Its
avowed purpose was stated as
that of studying the present and
future institutional needs o f
North Carolina Baptist. This
meant that the Committee would
undertake to determine by care
ful study over a period of two
or three years, whether we have
too many institutions—both edu
cational and social; whether
some should be combined or
whether we should have some
additional ones. Since Chowan
College is one of the seven edu
cational institutions owned and
supported by the Baptist State
Convention of North Carolina, it
IS withm the scope of study of
the committee.
The Committee of 25 is made
up of 25 men and women—clergy
and lay people—who are mem
bers of Baptist churches in this
state. The committee is divided
into three sub-committees; Com
mittee on Christian Education.

HOME DONE
All photographs in The Cho-
wanian, unless otherwise noted,
are taken and processed by staff
or students of the Roy Parker
School of Printing at Chowan
College.
In the graphic arts building
there is a cornplete photo
processing darkroom where pic
tures are developed, then en-
^rged or contact-printed. 'There
is also a large copying camera
used by the printing department
for lithographic work. This cam
era is capable of reproducing a
photograph, drawing or type-
form and enlarging it to 20 x 24
inches, or reducing it in size.
Photography and lithographic
offset printing are arts of repro
duction in which many different
kinds of chemicals are used; as
well as films, aluminum, copper
and zinc. Students in the school
of printing will have many op
portunities for employment at
above-the-average earnings, and
promotions during these years
of experience that could mean
salaries of five or even six fig
ures.
The school of printing desires
to have every student and facul
ty member visit this department
and learn “the real truth” of the
study and work being done by
graphic arts students.
