CHAPLAIN TAYLOR DEAN LOWE The unusual is usual for the office of the Dean of the College. Two examples follow. The first of these occurred while I was in the office of the Dean; the second occurred during the time of my predecessor: 1. A student came in to see me. He appeared upset, claiming that he needed to go home for several days due to the death of his uncle, who was his legal guardian. While the student was sitting in my office talking with me, the telephone rang. The dead uncle, in very good health, was calling to check on his nephew. 2. A student had been making long distance calls on a pay phone and charging these to numbers that he picked at random from the telephone book. On one evening, he placed such a call and gave to the operator the number to be charged for the call. In picking a number from the telephone book, he had accidently picked the home phone number of the operator. The operator casually put the call through, and then called the police. The police picked up the student while he was still talking on the phone. Once a security guard on campus approached me with a question, ' You ' re the new chaplain, aren ' t you? ' ' Yes, ' I answered. ' You ' re a doc too, huh? ' ' Yes. ' ' Well, I ' ve got this sore on my elbow and . . . ' , replied the guard. ' I ' m sorry about that but that ' s not the kind of doctor that I am; I had to reply. DOUG GATEWOOD Doug Gatewood, working in admissions as a recruiter for the college, has had many experiences related to his position at Chowan. However, his most memorable involves not being recognized as an administrative member: It was my first year at Chowan, the fall semester of 1978. Most student worries were over and the first dance, the ' welcoming dance, ' was go- ing over well. When I arrived to help out with the dance, being a new face on campus, I was refused admission to the dance without proper identification. After much embarrassment, I was eventually allowed to enter. CLIFTON COLLINS In filling out the North Carolina Legislative Tuition Grant ap- plication, students are asked to give their residentiary ad- dress, which is where the student actually lives. Very often, students give their post off ice box as their address when they should have given their route number. Mr. Collins often wonders, How does a student live in a post office box? 11
