Committee To Study Drinking Rule
At 7:30 Tuesday evening,
April 18, a meeting of the
Student Government Associ
ation was held in AC audi
torium. Bill Harles, Men’s
Council President, presided.
Between 150 and 200 students
attended.
In reply to a question. Bill
stated that the six point re
solution adopted by last week’s
assembly had been presented
to the administration and the
student body would be notified
as soon as the S. G. A. re
ceived information concern
ing that. ,
The main aim of the dis
cussion was to clarify the
rules on, and interpretations
of being “under the influence
of alcohol.” As Is well known,
this issue has l)een prominent
thinking for the past week;
accordingly, many were on
hand to voice their Ideas.
Several motions were made
and debated: that changes be
enacted in the current trial
procecdure, that Judicial
Boards publish transcripts of
trials with permission of the
students involved and that any
student, male or female, who
can perform the duties of a
Loulsburg College student
shall not be suspected of being
under the influence of alcohol.
Finally it was decided that
Bill Harles should appoint a
committee to study the matter
of the drinking rule. This
Harry Bryan
Will Represent
Students
If you do not know me by now,
I suppose you probably think
that you have been seeing dou
ble all year. If you do know
me, I hope you can distinguish
me from my twin brother or
Bruce Blankenhorn.
I personally know Rusty Odom
and I admire him very much.
He Is a person of good charac
ter and he knows what he is
doing concerning matters of
responsibility. I do not know
Lynda Wootten as well as I
-would like, but from what I
hear, she would make a good
president.
Except for a few matters re
served to the administration
and faculty of the college, the
Student Government Associa
tion Is exactly what it stands
for. The organization repre
sents the student body. I be
lieve that I am one that is able
to represent you in all fair
ness. The President should be

committee will report its find
ings to the student body in a
meeting sometime before the
second week in May.
At that time a list of pro
posed changes in the rules
and regulations will be pre
sented to the new officers.
The suggestions will be dis
cussed and any action decided
upon. Suggestions (in writing)
will be taken and may be
given to any officer of the
S. G. A.
Activities Of Chapel Ciioir
According to Miss Sarah Fos
ter, director of the Chapel
Choir, the choir has had a very
busy and enjoyable year. The
Chapel Choir consists of twelve
students selected from the Glee
Club whose voices Miss Foster
thinks blend together best. The
students in the Chapel Choir
this year are: Joe Bryant,
Creedmoor, Ava Daves,
Greensboro; Brenda Dunn,
Lynchburg, Va.; Debra Harris,
Durham; Larry Holcomb, Red
Springs; Paul Latta, Oxford;
Kay Nethercutt, Snow Hill; Sam
Perry, Raleigh; Terry Ransom,
Jacksonville; Mary Rogers,
Henderson; Susan Russell,
Clinton; and Forrest Stein,
Lynchburg, Va.
Miss Foster says that the
group has been an especially
good one to work with and that
they have done an excellent job
considering the fact that they
have a mere hour’s practice
time each week. “We push
the whole time!”. Miss Fos
ter remarked. She also said
she hates to see this particu
lar group go as only four of the
students are freshmen, so that
will mean only one-fourth of
the present group will be back
next year.
The Chapel Choir has made
a good impression on others,
too. Miss Foster said that
she has received many com
plimentary letters from those
who have seen them sing.
They have sung at regular
morning and evening church
services at the following pla
ces: Wake Forest, Enfield,
Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Yancey-
ville, Efland, N. C. (Chestnut
Ridge), and at Creedmoor.
Their last concert of this type
will be held April 23 at Hills
boro.
Pastors generally write In
asking for the Chapel Choir
to sing at their churches. How
ever, the group can not begin
to sing at all the different
churches that send them invi
tations, so they choose their en
gagements very carefully.
Besides singing at churches,
the group also sang last Feb
ruary at three Laymen’s Con
ferences of the Methodist
Church. These conferences
were held at Goldsboro, Eliza
beth City, and Burlington. They
will also sing at the Alumni
Banquet, the Baccalaureate
Sermon, and The Commence
ment Service here at Loulsburg,
Powell To Promote Harmony
Between SGA And Students
I am Susan Powell, and I am
running for President of the
Student Government Associa
tion. I know that this office
holds much responsibility, but
I feel that I am capable of ac
cepting this responsibility.
The main thing that I would
like to promote Is abetter re
lationship between the Asso
ciation and the students. I feel
that the students have not given
the Association enough sup
port this year, and I hope that
next year there will be more
cooperation. Loulsburg Col
lege Is small, and each Indi
vidual has the opportunity to
voice his opinion. I hope that
next year the students will take
advantage of this opportunity
by participating In the Student
Government’s activities.
Next year, I would like to see
more weekend student activi
ties in order to keep students
from getting Into off-campus
trouble.
Also, I know that many of the
students think that the rules
are archaic, and they would
like to see them changed. I
hope that Instead of talking
among themselves and not let
ting their complaints out In the
open, they will come to me. I
will try to see that they are
recognized. No matter how
small the Ideas, I would like
to hear their complaints.
If elected, I will do the best
I can to promote the Interests
of the students. I need your
irote to achieve these goals.
The annual Student Govern
ment Association elections

Wants
Revision
The candidates for the office
of President of the S.G.A. can
either be elected to the office
of President or Vice-Presi
dent. It Is the responsibility
of the President of the Student
Government A s s o c i ation to
preside at all Cabinet, Coun
cil, and Board meetings, toj|
represent the S.G.A. at pulsllc
functions, to call all meetings,
and to appoint and abolish all
committees. TheVlce-Presl-
dent must assume the respon
sibility of the President when
necessary, serve as President
of his Council and Judicial
board, and coordinate the work
of the various Cabinet Ap
pointed Committees.
At Loulsburg College I ran
for President of the Fresh
man Class, have been on sev
eral S.G.A, Committees, am
a member of the Y.R.C. and
the Y.W.C.A,, and am a re
porter for “the Columns”.
If I am elected to either of
these offices, I will uphold
the rules established by the
S.G.A. Not only will I uphold
the established rules; I will

McLemore and Ken Patton,
while Herman Hall and Phil
Mobley are running for Sec
retary.
The Women’s Council Vice-
Presidential spot is being con
tested by Susan Best and Llndy
Anderson. Nancy Campbell
and Edeth Hill are competing
for Secretary, as Patty Willis
and Gayle Connors are the
nominees for Treasurer. The
President of Merritt Hall will
be either Bettle Blair or Pam
Tuttle. The candidates for
the President of Wright Dorm
are Susan Simmons and Kay
Nethercuth.
These candidates were nom
inated at an S.G.A. meeting
about three weeks ago, and had
the academic qualifications to
run for the various offices.
Those students elected to
these offices will have many
jobs ahead of them for next
year. But, possibly the most
Important and demanding task
that will face these officers Is
the problem of creating a
strong and dynamic Student
Government Association.
Radical Renewal Needed Says Mathews
Dr. Joseph W. Mathews, as
part of the 180th Anniversary
Celebration, spoke April 19th,
on “Changing Patterns In the
Practical Revolution of the
Post-Modern Church.” Dr.
Mathews is the dean of the
faculty of the Ecumenical In
stitute in Chicago.
Dr. Mathews began his
speech by stating the reasons
he was happy to be here at
Loulsburg. These reasons
were because of the future of
the school, particularly the
fact that this school can pro
duce “the kind of radical rev
olutionaries that the Church
is in need of.”
“What It means to be a hu
man being up to this hour in
history Is one thing and what
it means to be a human being
in the future is something
different.” Thus, Mathews
Odom For
Progress
The duties of the Student
Government President are
outlined and defined In the
Constitution of the S. G. A.
If I am elected to that office,
I will use my own judgment
and Initiative in Interpreting
this constitution for the bene
fit of the student body.
I would attempt to make the
students more aware of Stu
dent Government functions and
Increase student Interest In
planning for these functions.
I believe that students would
enjoy S. G. A. sponsored func
tions If they took a more ac
tive part in organizing them.
I want the Student Govern
ment Association to t>e one of
progress. And by common lo
gic, progress means change.
Every student at Loulsburg
College has an equal voice at
S. G. A. meetings. If the stu
dents want progress, all they
have to do is work with me as

refers to the “cultural revo
lution” he says the whole
world is caught up In.
This revolution consists of
three aspects. 1) There is
revolution and upheavel of our
common sense through scien
tific revolution. 2) An up
heavel of the life style in
America. The way we relate
to each other today is quite
different from yesterday.
This, Mathews feels, comes
through urbanization which
binds all. 3) There is an
upheavel of religion resulting
In the secular revolution.
Mathew’s refers to the
Church as “a sick Institu
tion.” The fundamental pro
blem facing the Church con
cerning this Is the fact that
the world Is different from
the way it was 2,000 years
ago.

Editor’s
Note
The following statement was
given to the paper for print
ing by the Women’s Council
In answer to many questions
concerning the council’s de
cision of April 11, 1967.
After much considera
tion, it was the decision of
the Women's Council to not
consider cases already
tried or those to be tried
in the future in the light of
the suggested reinterpre
tation concerning being
"under the influence of al
cohol" until the adminis
tration has made public a
final ruling concerning this
issue.
has resulted in the “radical
renewal” of it, which Is in
Its 50th year. This renewal
is centered around three main
points. A theological resur
gence is occurring, there Is a
great ecumenical awakening
among the various religions,
and there Is a world-wide
lay movement in progress.
Dr. Mathews is quite a leader
in this lay and ecumenical
movement he referrredto. He
attended the Vatican Council
II In Rome, and has traveled -
throughout Africa, the Far
East, Europe, and the United
States, studying the renewal
of the Christian Church
through its laymen and women.
