10UI BURG couece LOUISBURG, NORTH CAROLINA LOCATION - mm ouisburg College is located at Louisburg, the county seat of m Franklin County, in eastern North Carolina. The College is 4 situated on the highest points of land in the town, and its buildings command a fine view of the surrounding country and the valley of the Tar River. The town of Louisburg, with a population of about three thousand, contains few of the distractions of the city; but convenient bus transportation is available to nearby cities. It is about thirty miles northeast of Raleigh, the state capital, forty miles east of Durham, and about a hundred and fifty miles from the North Carolina beaches on the Atlantic. Louisburg is the coeducational junior college of the North Carolina Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church. As a junior college it has served primarily three types of students: those who seek a solid academic foundation in order to transfer to a four-year college; those who seek to bridge the gap between high school and a large institution by attending a junior college capable of giving them personal attention; and those who plan terminal work at the freshman or sophomore level, as in business, medical technology or social work. Ideally located in the heart of the progressive and growing area between the Piedmont and Coastal Plains, Louisburg enjoys a temperate climate. Annual mean temperature is 43 degrees in winter and 77 degrees in summer. HISTORY Evolving from three earlier institutions - Franklin Academy, Louisburg Female Academy, and Louisburg Female College - Louisburg College is the oldest chartered denominational junior college in the nation.

COEDUCATIONAL m 4 V 4 v •_ AWARENESS: Eyes open and see just what they want to see. i: TO AuL £5 A To one the world, the place, is old and deerepid. To the other it is reborn, v ibrant, and expansive. Yet both thrive on the same child-like faith and determination. A cause — they must have a cause. One is aware of faults and shortcomings. The other sees virtue, excellance, and progress. The information that supports each belief is sifted and shaped to fit the need. The belief, the cause, is the point about which all other thoughts and ef- forts become oriented. Ideas are formulated and fuse into a plan be it right or wrong for change . . . CHANGES: The lives rotate into new and different patterns, assume new roles, take on different meanings, reach for new goals. One sees what he believes to be wrong and tries to right it. The other sees what he considers to be good and attempts to cultivate it and see it multiply. 10 Each finds ways to justify his de- sire for change and the way he or she attempts to bring about that change. The more barriers that arrise to block the course of change, the more determination each de- velops to handle the barriers. Each cause, each attempt at a goal is destined to do battle with fate. Each brainstorm is either a good idea or a bad idea at heart and a il be a accepted or rejected on those grounds. Each change must with- stand the final test, each idea must face the final judge response M 4 ' «• I r RESPONSE: Each individual or group that is effected by a change must be taken into consideration before and after change occurs. Each effort will be judged by these people a nd they will deter- mine whether or not the person behind the effort has struggled in vain. Change must be for the good of all concerned — it must consistent with the common will. Change must not choose favorites. Change must be ongoing, rejuvenating, enlighten- ing, and emancipating in that it must free people from injustice, entrapment and ignorance. Response necessitates an awareness to the need for more responsible, progressive, and acceptable change . . . ■ 12 13 But, some things never change .- , m__ ' HMUD 18 1 . Dean Scott Show 2. N.C.

At one point, it seem- ed as if people were going to have to be lassoed into running for an office. An assem- bly for the purpose of noninations had to be called. Because the SGA held nominations open longer than it uas supposed to. the Adminis- trative Council declared the nominations null. The nomination procedure had to be completely reorganized. Finally, a set of of- ficers was elected as a result of student body voting on September 30 and October 1 . How- ever, the turn out at the poles reflected a great deal of apathy on the part of the stu- dents. Sixty-four percent of the Sophomores voted, while only fourty-nine percent of the Freshmen voted. The Sophomores chose Johnny King as their President. Andy Parson as their Vice Pres- ident. Ginny Gwaltney as their Secretary. and Betty Jo Boy kin as their Treasurer. The Freshmen chose Dana Costin as their Presi- dent. Jeff Edmonds as their Vice President. Shelley Forrest as their Secretary, and Pam Britt as their Treasurer. 21 .Entertainment 22 There are of course, many forms of entertainment on campus. Things to keep students busy when study time is over, or a break from study. There are dances, bands, keg parties, mud slides, tree papering contest, and many other Student Projects available. Then if you feel a bit culture oriented, you can go pick up a humanities credit by seeing a play, a movie, art exhibits, musicians and guest speakers. Well, if none of these things are happening at the moment, you can always go to Chics . . . K Mud Slides Keg Parties Dances .... Exhibits . . .

The Dean wants to see me? What did 1 do this time ' . ' Let ' s skip afternoon classes and go for a ride or a walk, or something. I can always do that assignment later . . . Eight o ' clock already? The morning was warm. The campus awaited visitors of all sizes, shapes, and colors. As the morning passed the college absorbed a new group of inhabitants intc its personality. Parents brought their outlooks as they inspected their son ' s and daughter ' s new homes. Travel- ing in swarms from one event to another, they scrutin- ized the grounds and structures from every possible angle. However, the campus was not the only subject of close inspection. Soon the faculty and staff were brought under fire by inquisitive parents full of questions about Johnny ' s and Jane ' s progress as scholars. Some teachers took the questions well, and replied with rele- vant comments. Others were brick walls wearing big smiles and allowing questions to bounce off like rubber balls. After visiting in the dorms and being graciously enter- tained by the house mothers, the parents were treated to the proverbial Trustees ' Lunch which consists of all the good items that have been saved from student consumption and blessed for presentation to those of a higher priority. It was immediately after lunch that the hoards converged on the teaching staff and finally. in the late afternoon, their strength for the journey home was restored by means of a Tea that was held in the library. They left with visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads. They were thoroughly convinced that everything they had seen was real. They believed, left satisfied, and the campus, faculty, staff, and students breathed a sigh of relief . . . 28 29 ■ ■ . - On the night of Tuesday. October 29. at 8:00. the campus had some visitors who make their way by communicating without the use of words. These people were the Claude Kipnis Mime Theatre. We did manage to get Claude Kipnis to speak with us. He gave us some thoughts that we would like to share. Mime is the way that one recreates the world non-verball through his body. We ask our sponsors to keep us for a couple of days. This way we can give some workshops and lecture demonstrations in addition to a regular concert. I find this ver rewarding If you only come into a locality and do a hit and run opera- tion, you have no chance to meet and work with the people I like to be as active with the world as I can. Change is wh there is hope in art. You cannot afford la do without it. In this case the picture would be pretty grimm. so VIVfc LA CHANGI ! 32 33 1. E.C.U. Percussion 2. Joe and Penny Aronson 3.

Weeknights have seldom been enjoyed so much by Louisburg students unless they were at the Showcase. The show was not only a chance for us to see our friends perform, but also a chance for the performers to test their talents, to see if they really could perform for an audience. It certainly can not be said that the show was a polished production. The audience was subjected to long stretches of time between acts. Equipment faltered often. Yet the humaness of it made it all the more lovable. And then there was Master of Ceremonies Ken Tyson who smoothed over the rough spots w ith snatches of sheer zaniness. Finally, there were some unbelievable performances by some very talented people. cU 3 « «v 38 39 Ae ' €W DRAMATIC MONOLOGUES BY ROBERT BROWNING 40 tv HOME THOUGHTS FROM ABROAD THE BISHOP ORDERS HIS TOMB AT ST.

As darkness fell upon us, a few mask- ed monsters emerged into the quiet of the night, while a few shouted Let ' s party! Some students took the pleasure route to the National Guard Armory for a keg party. Others, particularly the Students For Chris- tian Life, manned the McPharland House in order to pass out treats to kids who pass- ed by. Many of these students were active on the night before when some 30 Louisburg College students and staff members put to- gether a party for some foster kids. It seemed like a traditional Louisburg Col- lege Halloween celebration, although threats of a food fight like last year ' s never ma- terialized. Most seemed to enjoy themselves, some more than others. Perhaps the biggest break from tradition was that some gave up their time to make a few kids happy. A few hands reached out to help and received much more in return, like a child ' s smiling face and warm laughter. 44 45 Donna Campbell Homecoming Queen 46 I mi Ivej Second Kunncr-up lirsi II. i. u Kenan Ka Slanfield Kenan Dorm-Men (bottom left) Bonnie Stainback - Merritt Dorm (top right) Patti Wilson — Hillman Dorm (top left) P H  H .

Of course there were a few private parties, but the biggest and best party was not restricted to Louisburg students. A large number of students and faculty joined together to produce a Christmas party for over 1 10 underpriviliged children. Under the direction of the Students for Christian Life, the college community raised over SI 200 to give this party and present each of the child- ren a gift selected especially for each of them. Santa Claus arrived at the end of the party to present these gifts. At the party, entertainment came in all forms. Some of the kids competed for dollar bills and candy bars by taking part in a yo- yo contest. Pam Reams and Clem Sturdivant entertained with some original dance rou- tines. There were several good singing groups that performed. And there was plenty of party food as well as a gigantic tree with dazzling lights and shiny tinsel. For the stu- dents present, perhaps the best part of the whole evening was the moment they caught a glimpse of the twinkle in the childrens ' eyes.

But only those few that do play well know the concentration, the skill and most of all the dedication that the game re- quires. We feel sure tha the traits that we have acquired while here at Louisburg played a major role in the comebacks of both the golf team and Jimmy Scott. We learned how to love and be loved, act like winners as well as be winners, and carry with us these unforgettable memories of the past two years.

When Bill Roughton became ineligible for the presidency, Jan Moses took his place as President. The students elected Lee Gillis to fill her place. The full slate of officers are as follows: Jan Moses, President; Lee Gillis, Vice President Mari- an Satterwhite, Treasurer (opposite page); Bert Sigmon, Chief Justice (above right); and Susan Davis, Secretary (above). 124 The SGA 125 One night this past winter, photographer David Cole- man captured on film SGA President Jan Moses ' tape fight with Herb Paschal. We did catch Jan in a more serious mood later when she gave us these comments on the successes and failures of the SGA this year. This year ' s SGA has been successful in a number of areas. Yet there are other areas in which we have not reached our expectations. In the area of entertainment, we have had a good number of accomplishments. The Coffee House Pro- gram that we set up has been a tremendous success. The purpose of the coffee house was to give students either a break from studying or going down the street to the local beer joint. Also, the SGA decided upon running the full length movies on Sunday night instead of Friday night so that more students would be able to see them. One of the best accomplishments of the SGA and the RA ' s has been the establishment of the Open House Program. The program is a workable solution to the problem of dorm visitation. Talent shows are now traditional around Louisburg College. The SGA and the Class Officers have put in many hours planning and preparing for these shows. Louisburg has a great deal of talent and each talent show reinforces this fact more strongly. Since there are many students who can not go home on the weekends, an outing club has been formed by the Entertainment Committee. This club had plans to travel various places on the weekends. Our biggest failure this year was in not being able to offer the students anything that would bring the student body together as a whole. There are a certain number of students working for one cause, while yet another group is working for another cause. The SGA has failed insofar as getting the students interested or involved in one thing or another. There are not enough outlets for the student ' s creativity or concern. 126 Hill Roughton, I ir i Semestei President MORI I ROM .1 llll Roil 01 ill! SGA is that ol being the voice of the Students. Students have needs and desires and it is up to the S(i to make them known. The administration has goals lor I ouisburg, too, I his is where the problem arises. I he SGA lies in the middle ol these two groups and we encounter a great ileal ol opposition when trying to please the studenis or administration. However, the problem concerning the administration has improved over that of last year because we are now working with the administration instead of around them. Remember that change is slow, especial I j when that change is something thai affects you directly .

The task of printing a newspaper on a small college campus has been a strenuous but enjoyable one. Often- times the student apathy would begin to override so strongly that the desire of the minority to accomplish some- thing would seem quashed. COLUMNS has attempted to provide an open forum for the exchange and expansion of student ideas and comment. We have never closed ourselves off from letters, ideas, or comments from students, faculty, or members of the Administration. As editor, I have not felt that the purpose of the newspaper was to praise all students and condemn anything and everything the Administration does. Some students would probably want this, but the student newspaper was not founded for the purpose of criticizing those in control for everything they do. The staff and editors have done what is necessary for a successful newspaper. The only shortcoming was the lack of student response and involvement in the production of the paper. I can take consolation in knowing that this is the case in nearly all college activities, and after studying some of the papers from other colleges, I am extremely proud of the well-planned and well-written issues of COLUMNS that we have produced. 135 The Oak Staff above — Pam Taylor, Bert Sigmon, Co-Editor, right — Vera Sue White 136 bclou Jim Quer .

Members of the staff, faculty, administration, alumni and student body, along with his family, were present to honor him. Dr. Robbins was presented a gift of a trip to the Holy Land.
