LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
e
Animals Play Around
The animals of the state of Franklin have all returned
to their school and are diligently studying. Along with
their studies of the various languages—Horse, Cow, etc.,
the students are allowed to take one unit of Playful
Education, commonly known as P. E., in order to
survive through graduation time in May. This course
enables the animals to exercise and to build up strong
bodies. This course empowers the young animals to
learn games such as golf, tennis, and badminton, which
they can continue participating in throughout life. The
young animals are encouraged to sign up for one of
many activities which will interest them. This semester
they can take either golf, social dancing, ping-pong, or
nearly any subject they desire. Each instructor has a full
load of different courses from which a student can
choose. The animals are all content and happy with the
courses they have chosen for the present semester.
Female animals have chosen track, boy's 9:00 a.m.
tennis class, conditions and weight lifting. Oh! The
other herd, boy animals, are faced with the opportunity
to sign up for such wonderful and exciting classes as
slimnastics, archery, and tumbling-because their sche
dules allowed no other choice.
Lack 0/ Space
Many of the students have been upset by the
schedules of physical education for this semester. They
have several complaints to which they feel are just. The
students want to know why more P. E. subjects aren't
being taught? They also want to know why golf isn't
being taught this semester, along with tennis for girls
and social dancing. These subjects have been taught in
the past, so why not now?
After a thorough investigation of the situation,
Columns found the answers to many of the questions. If
the students would take the same course of action, they
too might find some answers.
The major answer which answers all questions is the
lack of space. The one gymnasium is not large enough to
accommodate more than two P. E. courses at the same
tinne. Even then, only one course can be held upstairs on
the floor while the other one is downstairs. This is the
reason that as few courses are being offered as there are.
Even so, there are more than ten P. E. courses being
offered for men students this semester.
The reason golf is not being taught is the weather.
Golf cannot be taught in mud, snow, and rain. January,
February, and part of March are very undependable
months as far as good weather is concerned. Classes
cannot be held outside while it is raining and snowing.
Weather is the reason girl's tennis is not being offered
also.
Social Dancing is not being taught this semester
simply because it could not be worked into the
schedule. Miss Cooke was scheduled to teach one course
In dancing; however, at the last minute she had to teach
several extra courses in hygiene.
Congratulations
Early in October, a committee was selected to
rewrite the drinking rule. After several months of
tedious work, the committee came up with a new rule.
Columns would especially like to commend Mary Ella
Nelson and Mr. Snyder for their dedication and deter
mination in seeing the project through. We urge the
students to give the rule a chance to take hold, and to
support the rule.

Student Forum
Fenced Out?
Dear Editor:
We, the young men of
Louisburg College, would like a
good explanation from the per
son or persons responsible as to
why the gym is not open at all
times during the weekend, so
that we could play basketball
when we chose. As it is now,
we have to go through an act
of Congress to get in the gym
to get some exercise during the
weekends. When we get ready
to play, and find the gym
locked, we try to find some
member of the Athletic De
partment to open the doors,
but when we ask someone they
just refer us to someone else,
and we usually don’t get in at
all.
We would like to request
that the gym doors be opened
on Saturday and Sunday after
noons at 1:00 P.M. and not
closed until 7:00 or 8:00 P.M.
We feel that there should be
some member of the Athletic
Department responsible for
opening the doors at this time.
The time that the gym is to be
open should be posted in the
Post office Lobby.
DON’T FENCE US OUT!

New Faces
On Campus
Everywhere you go on cam
pus these days, it seems that
there is someone you haven’t
seen before. The reason is
simple. There are forty-five
new members added to the
freshman and sophomore
classes this semester.
It is hoped that all the new
members of the Louisburg Col
lege student body enjoy them
selves as they get to know all
the people around them.
Louisburg College extends a
warm welcome to each and
everyone of you and hopes you
will like your stay here.

Dear Editor:
It may seem strange for a
boy to step over and request
that a girl’s rule be changed,
but first consider the change
that is being requested.
Our request is: Any girl
going on an out-of-town date
should be entitled to a one
o’clock curfew one night a
weekend with her parents’ per
mission.
We realize that a one
o’clock curfew is unnecessary
for an in-town date because
Louisburg has nothing to offer
after midnight.
As the curfew now stands,
one must leave Raleigh, as well
as any other city, the movie is
not over until after eleven, and
no dance is over before twelve.
Therefore this is the basis for
our request.
We hope that the students
will show enough dissention
against this unrealistic rule to
have the proper student leaders
see that the rule be changed.
Sincerely con
cerned students,
W. Wayne Ander

Letter Of
Appeal
Dear Professor:
Would you please have a
little consideration for your
students. You might not realize
this, but some students have
many classes, several of which
are together—one following the
other.
We would like to ask you to
please let your students out of
class on time so they can meet
their next class. Teachers com
plain because their students do
not get to their classes on time.
Well, now we know why, the
teachers before did not let
them out and a student cannot
make it across campus in three
or four minutes. So from now
on, professors, would you
please let us out on time—We
have a class in ten minutes!
Sincerely,
Late-as-it-is
Happy Anniversary L. A.
