Night Has Turned With Purchase Of Lights on Campus By Wanda Woodley Chowan College has purchas ed as most of you know by now, quite a few new campus lights. Although they were put up for a good cause and with good intentions some of the students have fully criticized the facts. ’The purpose of the new lights is to provide light for those who go to the library at night, meetings and various other activities on campus after dark. 'Xou must admit, how ever, that the distance between the girls’ dormitory and the Big House is quite dark and for “scarey ones” and for safe ty’s sake to the girls, lights have solved the problem. Also at night, you can get a night view of the whole campus with the aid of our new lights. We also feel that if the new campus lights were turned off during the day, the economy would be cut quite a bit. Come on students lets show our faculty and staff we can appreciate new things on Cho wan’s Campus. FRESHAAAN LEADERS — Pictured above are the officers for the freshman class for 1959-60. They are, left to right, Ronald Black, Morganton, president; Peggie Leonard, Rocky Mount, sec retary; James McGill, Clinton, vice president. In Who's Who We note with pride that our Dean, J. Irving Brooks, is list ed in the latest edition of Who's Who in th« Soulh and Soulh- wasl. The A. N.

Congratulations, Dean Brooks! Special Admission Myers Theatre, which is located in Rich Square, has annoimced a special adniission price lor the students of Chowan College. The new price is |.35. We would like to thank the management for their courtesy in letting the students in at this reduced price. College Development Program Continued Into The Third Year The third year of the Chowan College campaign for physical development was begun the first of September under most favor able conditions. The second year—July 1, 1958 —June 30, 1959—almost equalled the first year in the amount of cash received, which is very un usual according to the auditor of the college The amount raised in cash the first year, end ing June 30, 1958, was $132,467 and last year $127,550. Since July 1, the beginning of the third vear, *nore thar >12.316 has been paid, which is most en couraging for this season of the year, according to the Rev. Os car Creech, director of develop ment. The amount paid in cash and in pledges for the campaign has gone from $460,000 at the end of the first year, June 30, 1958, to $550,000 at present. At the beginning of this fiscal year, July 1, less than 5,000.00 was past due on the pledges and some of that has now been paid. As results of the development program the girls’ dormitory is now being used for the second year and is completely filled, with a few girls on the waiting list for vacancies that may oc cur; and the beautiful cafeteria is now completed. These are direct results of the campaign. Mr. Creech said the col lege now needs to raise another $100,000 this fall and winter in order to proceed ra pidly with another dormitory for boys. ’The plans are being push ed for a dormitory to house 116 boys and then put girls back in the Columns Building. This dormitory for boys will enable the college to house on the cam pus 170 girls and 285 boys, a total of 460. This should give us a student body next year of at least 560 students. An encouraging fact is that many people who have paid their pledges in full are con tinuing to make cash payments to the development program and many people who have not yet made pledges are making cash payments each year. Quite a number of new con tributors are joining the ranks of givers each year to take the places of some who are forced to drop out. It is entirely possible that the alumni and friends of Chowan College can give as much this year, July 1, 1959-June 30, 1960, as was given last year, $127,550. This would be an exceptional re cord for the third year of the campaign. Along with the cash gifts to the college, it is definitely known that a number of people are remembering Chowan Col lege in their wills. This number is increasing each year. Dr. Gil bert Stephenson is giving his time to promote this method of helping Chowan. AP SERVICE IN SCHOOL — Two Associated Press printers have been installed in the School of Graphic Arts to be used in pre journalism and printing classes. Watching the news as it comes in on the printers are Raymond James, Raleigh, co-editor of The Chowanian, college newspaper; Evelyn Pope and Mary Lucy Hasty, telelypesetter students from Jackson; and Wayne Alford, of Zebulon, also co-editor of The Chowanian. Two Associated Press Receivers Installed in Graphic Arts Dept. Two Associated Press receiv ing printers were installed in the School of Graphic Arts in September. State, national, and world wide news is received simul taneously as it is teletyped in the offices of the Associated Press in Charlotte and Norfolk, Va. The Associated Press is a non profit world-wide news gather ing organization with offices throughout the world and is owned by the newspaper pub lishers who are members. It is interesting to watch the automatic typewriter-like ma chines as they print news being relayed from many daily news papers in our area. Sometimes the news is sent out almost immediately after the happen ings concerned occur. The AP service will be used by The School of Graphic Arts to train students in pre-journa lism, as well as teaching lin otype and teletypesetter opera tors to edit and set wire service news copy. It is now planned that a small daily limited campus distribu tion will be started by November. The printers are owned by the Associated Press but the wire service cost is being paid for by the students in the School of Graphic Arts. Visitors are welcome to visit the school and see the many new features that have been added to the printing school.
