SADDRaUy Continued from Preceding Page said Bias. “Every family will be affected by AIDS. We have an epidemic in this land. The statistics are staggering and this virus is intellect. It will not destroy you quickly, it takes it’s time. Role Models “I have a button I carry around with me that says ‘Virgins are First Class People,’ So many young people talk about sex—it’s your thing, do what you want to do. It’s a lie.” declared Bias, “You talk about pleasure. Weil, pleasure turns into pain. You are the nation’s greatest natural resources.” Bias went on to talk about role models. "Your role models should be in your home every day. Get to know who you are. Your bodies are not garbage cans. I travel this nation,” said Bias, “and it’s grim. Destruction and death await you if you don’t take heed. Get high off your life,” urged Bias, “take a look at the man in the mirror,” referring to Michael Jackson’s hit song. “Dignity is the highest esteem a man can have for himself. Some see the cup as half empty. I see the cup as half full. Just say no to anything that will hurt, harm you and keep you from leading a full life. Don’t take your family members for granted. It’s too late at the funeral. “When is the last time you thanked your mom and dad, even your teachers or even patted your little brothers and sisters on the back? You are the role models for your brothers and sisters. They look at what you do and look up to you. Choose life and high esteem for yourself. There is a God who truly understands,” concluded Bias. Printmaker^s portfolio exhibited The Chowan Art Gallery in Green Hall is the site of an exhibition by one of the nation’s “finest and better known print- makers,” according to the college’s art professors, in announcing that the prints of Donald R. Sexauer of Greenville will be on exhibit through the month of December. Sexauer studied at the College of William and Mary and received his B.S. from Edinboro State College and M.A. from Kent State University. Since 1960, he has served on the art faculty at East Carolina University. For the past 24 years, Sexauer has exhibited his prints in arts festivals, campus and conmiunity galleries, and regional and national exhibitions across the country. His prints have been selected for a number of purchase awards and are in numerous permanent collections of art centers and museums, public libraries, businesses and universities. His prints are included in a number of publications. Art Professor Doug Eubank commented, “We feel fortunate in having such a quality print exhibition in our gallery. Donald Sexauer is one of the finest and better known printmakers in the country today.” Jenks B. Johnson, teacher of mathematics at Ridgecroft School, Ahoskie, was the only teacher recognized by two Chowan honor students. Both John Marshall Hazelton of Murfreesboro, and Melissa Ann Herring of Ahoskie, selected her as their ' ‘Most Inspiring Teacher ’ A special ^Thank You ^ to Inspiring Teachers A reception in the McDowell Columns faculty lounge and luncheon in the Thomas Cafeteria President’s Room highlighted “Most Inspiring Teacher and Honor Student Day” Saturday, Nov. 12.
