Page two Columns May 26, 1964 Two Who Gave By LINUS There are many students on LC’s campus who contribute greatly in many areas to the improvement of our sporadic nine-month life here. Among those who seem to devote selflessly unbelievable quantities of time and effort to this project are two seniors who unfortunately will not return to LC next year. Anyone thumbing (with due respect) through the 1964 Oak should readily detect the personality of its editor..The stately grace of the en tire book is a reflection of the lady who conceived it. In effect it is her child, and countless hours of loving patience and agonizing frustration passed before the finished product was presented to the students, faculty, administration, and citizens of Louisburg. The Oak, impressive though it be, is only one of the myriad accomplishments of Nancy Bird Berger. She has been the “lady at the helm” of the YWCA and the Canterbury Club this year. In addition she is Vice-President of Sigma Pi Alpha, an active member of the Louisburg Players (just recently she appeared as Gertrude in their very wonderful production of Hamlet, Prince of Den mark), member of Phi Theta Kappa, Delta Psi Omega, Beta Phi Gamma, Feature Editor for Columns, and, somehow, she managed to maintain a prominent position on the Dean’s List each semester! Her energy, her willingness to accept responsibility, her creativity, her devotion to her friends, and her vital contributions to every organization to which she be longs make “Bird” a beloved and respected figure on our campus. Next year Nancy plans to study in France at the University of Lyons under U.N.C.’s “Juniors Abroad” program. After ten months abroad, she will return for her senior year of study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She plans to embark on her adventure abroad on September 3 from New York. With her will go our gratitude and ad miration; she has given of her heart and mind to each of us, and through her efforts and those of kindred spirits over the years, Louisburg has be come a mecca of learning. May there be more nbb’s in LC’s future! There is a new walk between Franklin and Trinity; this is only one of the many projects successfully executed by the Men’s Student Govern ment Association this year. The pilot of this organization is versatile Bill Mowbray. From the very beginning of this school year (’way back in September!) Bill has been swimming against the current to try to pro vide some kind of week-end recreation for the students here who are brave enough to unpack their belongings and stay awhile! Needless to say, cooperation has been nothing to shout about! First project in Bill’s cam paign was an ambitious plan to charter busses to attend the basketball games played out-of-town. Needless to say, there was a feeble, mediocre response from the student body. Had the student body taken advantage of this opportunity, it is certain that we might have witnessed an upsurge of school spirit. This, of course, is another project Bill set for his organi zation: He has continuously strived at improving school spirit and trying to prod the student body into taking an interest in their very fine basket ball, baseball, tennis, and golf teams. What was perhaps the most successful concert of this season was spon sored by the MSGA. “Moe” spent many long hours of panic trying to finagle some way to afford the “Brandywine Singers” making an appear ance on our Campus! Student response to this evening of entertainment was an overwhelming indication of success for the MSGA. The contributions and achievements of “Moe” and the MSGA are far too numerous to be enumerated here. There is, however, one great and lasting contribution for which we, the present student body and those to come generations from now, must forever be indebted to Bill. This, of course, is a reference to the new look of the Student Government Asso ciation ... the new constitution ... the new format (now combining the men’s and women’s organizations into one single government with sepa rate legislative facilities) ... all these were Bill’s “brainchildren.” From the beginning of the year he has been striving to combine the two SGA’s into one over-all Student Government; he has finally succeeded, and the overwhelming student ratification of the new constitution must have been rewarding to him. Bill plans to attend summer school next session at LC. Upon his gradua tion he will journey down to Florida State in Lakeland, Florida, to com plete his education. The years that pass will doubtlessly confirm this paltry tribute to “Moe,” who has given so much of himself to LC. Athlete, scholar, friend . . . these and more characterize our dynamic President of the Men’s Student Government Association. Besides his distinguished leadership of the MSGA, Bill is a member of the basketball and baseball teams. Beta Phi Gamma, YMCA, YRC, and Sports Editor for Columns. His is a personality to be long remembered at LC. Through his efforts and those of coming leaders, LC will continue to progress. These are two who came . . . two who made their presence known by their determination to give of their talents to make LC a better place in which to learn and live. May there always be among the student body two such as these! —Linus COLUMNS Volume XXIII Number 6 Published by Louisburg College Students MEMBERS OF THE STAFF Editor Mary Ann Roberson Managing Editor Lin Finch Feature Editor Nancy Bird Berger Sports Editor Bill Mowbray Photographer Dave Dry, Joe Fletcher Business Manager Carole Dement Contributors: Delores King, Nelson Tapson, Scotty Walton, Barbara Hudson, Sara Jo Coates, Charles Massey, Virgiina Lockes, Ruth Merritt, R.

MOORE SPEAKS Gubernatorial candidate Dan Moore spoke before about 100 peo ple in the Franklin County Court house on March 18, 1964. Mr. Moore hit on a few of the high points of his campaign. He said, “If I am elected 1 will put an ex pert in the field of agriculture in each judicial district to help set up jobs and help the farmers with im proved methods of farming.” In the field of education, Mr. Moore said, “Being a product of the North Carolina educational sys tem, I have a first-hand experience in education. Every boy and girl with the capacity for college work should be given an opportunity to realize that goal. It should be re membered, however, that a college education cannot be given to any body, but that it must be earned by senior scholarship, hard work, and personal application of a young per son’s talents.” On the bill banding known com munists from speaking at state sup ported schools and universities, Mr. Moore said, “I am for the bill as it stands. I don’t want to see the taxpayers’ money spent for a stu dent to be told the views of com munism.” Q ELEPHANT TRACKS The views on civil rights of Nel son A. Rockefeller, one of the Re publican candidates for the Presi dential election next year, are founded on his deep seated belief that heritage is freedom and equaUty for all men. Governor Rockefeller strongly urges that there be no further delay in passing civil rights legislation. He has repeatedly called for the passage of a comprehensive bill which would contain provisions for stronger voting guarantees and equal opportunity for employment. The importance of upgrading education and training for minority groups to help enable all citizens to find jobs is stressed by the Governor. In Chicago on May 1, 1964, Nel son Rockefeller said, “We did found this nation as the best political struc ture we could then devise to further the fulfillment of our faith in the individual and his free destiny. Let us today do likewise.” Nancy Deitrick OPEN FORUM LETTER TO THE EDITOR I feel that I am expressing the sentiments of other students as well as those of my own when I state how greatly appreciated are the works of art hung in the college cafeteria. Charles Massey instigated this program, and, in my opinion, he has done a wonderful job in providing color, interest, and conversation pieces for Louisburg students as they partake of their meals. Instead of staring vacantly at blank screens, students are now privileged to look at varied as well as excellently executed works of art. The chief contributor of these works of art is, due to his skillful brush and adept use of paints, as well as his (as far as present artists at Louis burg College are concerned) unsurpassed judgement as to form and per ception regarding depth, Charles Massey. Other competent as well as colorful contributions were made by Mrs. Florence, Kay Tinsley, Pat Parham, Dave Garber, and other members of the art education class. Again, art students, let me thank you for adding this to our cafeteria, with special thanks to Charles Massey for instigating and propogating this delightfully unique program. Pratt Dear Editor: As I sit here in the library of Louisburg College listening to the soothing and inspiring tones of the typewriter, I cannot overcome my compulsion to write this letter. Although Webster defines the word “library” only as “a building de voted to a collection of books,” I cannot help but think that most people also think of it as a place in which one can study. Evidently many people at Louisburg College do not believe in this secondary and apparently unimportant meaning of the word. So they decide to use the library as a play room. I realize that conditions of the library are not the best because of creak ing floors, but it seems that more respect should be shown to the more am bitious students. If anyone wishes to sociaUze, why not go to the “Dope Shop” and join the bridge club. Though some of you may not agree with this letter, it is the opinion of many of us who do try to use the library as a place to study. After all, we day students have nowhere else to go.
