B is for the Beasties . B Picture this: 7:30 in the morning a Lou-Uer stag- gers into the cafeteria wearing last night ' s T-shirt and baggy jeans. He makes his way over to the milk machine and gets himself a drink. Relief appears upon his face, and he slowly stumbles out the door with a look of satisfaction. Sound familiar? I guess that everyone gets the beasties every now and then (some more than others). Backgammon is a favorite indoor game of many people at Louisburg College. In the past couple of years it has gained in popularity with an amazing amount of speed. Beasties

what you did last night. The all-nighters do have their rewards; sleep never felt so good and the wonderful feeling to be able to say that It ' s finished. Many all-nighters are spent socializing (getting to know that friend from Psych class, sharing secrets with your roommate or just a group of friends getting together). Afternoons at Lou-U are a welcome time during the day. Everyone has their own special thing. To the sunwor- shippers, its tossing frisbees on the lawns in front of the dorms, or laying out in the sun. There is always an occa- sional skateboarder or lacrosse player. Others like to recuperate from the night before or rest-up for the up-coming one. Naps are sometimes a wel- come relief from the enveloping tensions of the life of a student.

On a lot of warm weekends, the Lou-U students go to the beach. Whether it be Atlantic, Carolina or Myrtle, we go to soak up the rays (actually trying to catch up with the ones who cut classes all week out by Drake Beach ) St. Paul ' s Episcopal Church in Louisburg sponsored a refugee family of 13 from Vietnam this year. The Ta Fam- ily belonged to the much pitied group of Boat People . They left their home in Saigon in October of 1978 with an unknown destination, and little food or money, but with the help of Lou-Y ' s Christian Life Council the house just outside Louisburg was prepared and donations were made. Now the Ta Family is adjusting well to the United States. Of all of the beasts from Lou-U, we ' ll always remem- ber Ralph, school mascot, who mysteriously disappeared last summer. Ralph, wherever you are, we love you. Boat People
