Well, ah, that probably depends on how you look at it; a slave, that is. A nnen ' s slave auc- tion got underway on November 17. with the proceeds going toward lights for the tennis courts. Mike Ball, M.C., started by introducing the men to be sold and the four escorts. Next, Scarlett Long read the rules. Buy- ers, who would enjoy the services of their slave the following day, have to respect the morals of their slave. Slaves cannot be asked to incur debt or to violate cam- pus rules in any way. The twenty-two slaves brought in from $4 to $28 each. Auctioneer Ray Mize jested that A man gets embarrassed when he gets down to his socks, but nobody revealed that much! John Ford managed to bring in the top Girl were out for muscle and Marcus Keith was ready to fill the order dollar with his shorts as well as his socks intact. When Marcus Keith tried to take his shirt off, one of the escorts had to untie his tie because he had his shirt on back- wards. When his bid jumped to ten dol- lars, he took off his hat and said, fan that woman. David Collins promised to take everyth- ing off for $25, but the girls didn ' t buy: his bid only reached $9.

PARENTS ' DAY If 4 aar Stan Finch joins his mother, Mrs Jack Finch, fof lurKh Parents Day is the closest thing that Louisburg College has to the P.TA. But here, it only happens once a year. Until October, we ' re able to tell our par- ents our version of how well we ' re doing in school and how well we ' re adjusting to college life. Once they come to the campus for Par- ents Day, they have the opportunity to talk to our professors and find out their version of how we ' re doing. If we ' ve been honest and conscientious and our accounts are similar to what our parents hear from our professors, it ' s a nice occasion. If we ' ve been, well, maybe fudging a bit and our folks find out we ' ve been (heav- ens forbid) cutting class and doing poor- ly, watch out Unless we ' re financially independent, fvlom and Dad usually expect a bit of ac- countability on our part. So it ' s face the music day. and if we ' re lucky, the melody will be sweet. If not. time to hit the books, cut down on party- ng and pull up those grades. Cotfea. juica and donuta are enjoyed by our parents, many ot whom have driven long distances lor the occasion 10 STUDENT LIFE
