Moving in on a new era! It was a hot, humid day in late August, when the campus was invaded by many young people beginning a new era in their lives by moving into a residence hall and becoming a freshman college student! The parking lots were filled with loaded cars, trucks, vans, and trailers as students brought all the things necessary to make a dorm room seem like home! For some students, this was the first time of ever being away from home, being without Mom and Dad, and leaving all those high school friends. But with the welcoming gang in each residence hall helping each new freshman get settled, it was not long until everyone felt at home . For the returning students, moving in day was a time for renewing friendships . . telling of those summer experiences . , and making plans for that second year of study at Chowan. The sophomores are always a big help to the new students and assist them in learning their way around cam- pus and giving tips on how to be successful in college , . both in the classroom and out of the classroom ' ! A cool drink is delightful on the hot summer day of arrival. Friends and family assist in getting set up for the semester ahead. Bicycles will come in handy getting around campus and its good exercise! 10 MovingIn!

Proudly;, we dedicate. The 1988 CHOW ANOKA to one who is the true friend of every student at Chowan College, and one who has been the confidant and mentor of many. He listens to our gripes. He chides us when our conduct is less than appropriate. He comforts us in times of distress. He counsels with us about our problems. He constantly encourages us to be the best that we can be. He urges us to develop our full potential — intellectually, spiritually, socially, and physically. In his personal life and conduct, he sets the example for what it means to be a total person. He has a real zest for life. We mark his enthusiasm in the classroom, in chapel assembly programs, in the Baptist Student Union Campus Christian Fellowship, in dramatic productions and in athletics. We admire him and lift up his example as worthy of emulation. In our admiration, we affectionately refer to him as The Tiger , The Chap , and the Pope . For all of these reasons and more, we, the students of Chowan College, dedicate the 1988 Chowanoka to a real Christian gentleman. Dr. R. HARGUS TAYLOR Chaplain to the College A man of many talents, Dr. Taylor is a regular performer witfi The Chowan Players in their annual drama productions.

Parents pay campus visit A special day for guests is observed each semester when parents visit the campus to spend time with a son or daughter, talk with their pro- fessors, and attend several social events Beautiful warm fall weather draped the campus in October when the parking lots were filled with automobiles and McDowell Columns was filled with parents meeting members of the administra- tion at the morning President ' s Reception, The classroom buildings were then filled as the parents visited with professors in their offices to learn of the academic progress of their son or daughter. These conferences proved to be very beneficial as parents and professors became better acquainted , and in some cases, the students became more motivated! The residence halls were also open to parents and other out-of-town guests, followed by a special buffet lunch in Thomas Cafeteria with entertainment provided by the the Chowan Stage Band under the direction of Professor Bob Brown , The parents were also special guests at the foot- ball game in the afternoon when the Braves battl- ed their archrivals from New York — Nassau Com- munity College In top photo, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Friendly, of Hartsville, S.
