§ I J Assemblies become Chowan tradition A special time is set aside each week for assembly periods, and every student attends one of the sessions in Turner Auditorium of McDowell Columns. Freshmen students attend programs on Monday of each week, with the sophomores and transfer students assigned to the Wednesday programs. A wide range of programs is offered to make the assembly periods as interesting and informative as possible, with occasional programs being of religious nature. Numerous guest speakers are invited to present programs on a variety of topics, including current news events and topics. In addition, throughout each semester several guest speakers present programs on religious topics. The assembly sessions have become a Chowan tradition and each student is fully aware that attendance is a vital part of his weekly schedule. Though some students choose to spend the time to cat nap , read, or catch up on homework, the vast majority of those attending listen attentively to get full benefit from the offerings. Special Convocation services are held at the beginning of each semester in Helms Center, whereby all members of the student body, faculty and staff may gather at the same time. The Convocations, too, have become a campus tradition with very well-known and successful individuals leading the services. Students never hesitate to testify that the most interesting of all assemblies are the presentations in the fall and spring semester acts from drama productions by the Chowan Players, and the speical holiday programs at Christmas and Easter which feature fellow students and faculty members. 26 Assembly
