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.

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!
