Page 2 COLUMNS Friday, March 7,1969 From Our Editor’s Desk Life's Blood At times, students really come out and help one another. When one student is down and out, he finds out how many people really care. Louisburg College is definetely no exception. A few weeks ago, Leroy Woods became very ill and was in desperate need of blood. Louisburg students turned out in large numbers willing to give a little of their blood to help another student. Columns wishes to commend these students for their willingness to help. Many colleges are full of apathetic students who do not care about anything but them selves. The students at Louisburg College have proved that they are anything but apathetic. Student Union In Making In recent days there has been a great deal of talk about new student union. The S. G. A. circulated questionnaires to find out if the students would be willing to support the pro ject by paying an extra twenty •five dollar student union fee. If the results of the question naires prove that the students are willing to support this pro ject, the plan will first be sub mitted to Dr. Robbins and then to the trustees of the college for their approval. If approved, it is hoped that a committee of students could be formed to help decide what the union should contain. There are a great number of possibilities of what could go into the union, some of which are; the post office, snack bar. an office for the S. G. A., a multi-purpose room that could be used for dances, coffee houses and club meetings, of fices for the college newspaper and annual, a recreation area with ping-pong tables, pool tables, etc., and rooms that could be used as lounges where the students could sit and talk or whatever. The building'of the student union would take about a year in construction. This would in no way affect the building of the proposed new science building. According to the S. G. A. and the Dean of Stu dents, this idea could only be transformed into a reality with the support of the majority of the student.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS & "Mow MANy PO I m/£TO-^LL YOU STUtTENTS TO STAY OUTOFTH' KITCHEM? — C40S£ m4rPOO/?,'' Student Forum Dog-Gone It! I feel sure that I am not alone in my resentment of eat ing with the dogs. Louisburg College is highly accredited academically, but it seems as if those persons who stand for Louisburg College are willing to let the cafeteria go to the dogs. I have also observed that most of the dogs belong to members of the faculty, staff, and administration. If the own ers of these dogs cannot afford to buy the poor unhealthy animals any food, the student body will gladly pay an extra ten cents per semester to buy dog food. May this gripe eventually become a DOG-^GONE good one. Ricky Watson. Letter Of Thanks On behalf of the Inter-Club Council, I would like to ex press my appreciation to all who helped make the Spring Formal Dance a success. I would especially like to thank those who worked with the decorations. The Inter-Club Council ap preciates Mr. Beckem’s assis tance with the refreshments; Miss Foster’s help with the serving; the deHart’s, the Jol ly’s, and Lancaster Funeral Home for loaning materials; and Mr. Goldston, Mrs. King, and Mr. Patterson for the time and effort that they contri buted. Sincerely, Lucius Webb Chairman of I.C.C. Phi Beta Lambda On Thursday night, January 23, members of the Louisbui^ College Chapter of Phi Beta Lambda toured Franklinton Fabrics, a division of Burling ton Industries, Inc., in Frank linton, North Carolina. The tour, starting at 7:00 P.M., was conducted by Wil liam J. Sigmon, Jr., personnel manager, assisted by other members of the administrative staff. In the plant, the group saw fabric being woven for men’s wear, such as slacks, etc., to gether with formation of the completed fibers, the inspec tion of the fabric and com puterized activities. Before the tour vras con cluded everyone visited the plant offices and then had an opportunity to ask questions in the conference room. Touring with the Phi Beta Lambda group were three members of the Business De partment Faculty - Mrs. Per- nell. Miss A. Johnson, and Miss Modlin. Mrs. Pernell’s son, John, and Mr. May, the bus driver, were also in the group. Norman Barrack Vocational Conference The fourth annual Voca tional Opportunities Con ference for Louisburg College students was held in the Test- ing and Guidance Center Thursday, March 6, from 3 to 5 p.m. About eight representa tives from industry, banking, business, textiles, and other areas were present to talk with any interested student. The Testing and Guidance Program furnished this service to any student who is interested in summer jobs, working before continuing his education, or planning ahead for an occupa tion after graduation from a senior college. A Place Of Silence For Inner Space You, a sinner with your de fects of human nature, may find peace in one of the small est places of worship. This place, with its cobwebs and dust as a result of man’s too- frequent view that he needs everything but God, is the Little Chapel on Louisburg College campus. Few people have probably ever hear of the Little Chapel. It is located on the first floor of Davis Building and is very easy to find since its doors stay open to everyone twenty-four hours a day. The Little Chapel was first proposed by college Chaplain Wade Goldston in the year 1956. It was first located in the basement of Franklin Building. Mrs. Newton Benson of Phoe- nbc, Arizona, sister of the chap lain gave the furnishings. In 1961 the Little Chapel was removed to its present lo cation in Davis Building be cause the basement of Franklin Building was needed for class rooms. Though the design for this location provided for the small seating capacity of only seventy-five persons, the little chapel is often empty. When asked the purpose of the chapel. Chaplain Goldston remarked, “One important pur pose of The Little Chapel is for personal meditation. It is open twenty-four hours for any members of the college and its town to use.” The chapel has also been used for Sunday afternoon vesper services. A third use of the Little Chapel is for Catholic Mass on Sundays at 11:30 a.m. The Roman priest of Raleigh comes for mass in the chapel, “open to Roman Catholics within ^ the college and the community.” Still another purpose of the Little Chapel is for meetings of religious organizations. Going inside the chapel, one will find the normal necessities of a small church. Many of these are memory or apprecia tion gifts, some gifts of former students. On the right of the entrance, there is a piano, donated by Mrs. Carol Bessent Hayman (ex. ’46) of Jackson ville. On the left one finds the painting, “Christ at the Door,” by Sallman, given by Reverend Clifton Hollowell, an alumnus of Louisburg. Behind the altar there hangs a red dossal, given in memory of Julia Merritt by her sister. Miss Ruth Merritt. Also, at the back of the room is a bookcase given in memory, with the in scription, “In Appreciation of Mary Belle Burrell Jones-De- voted Employee of Louisburg College from 1926-1950.” Another gift in the Little Chapel is Durer’s “Praying Hands,” given by Miss Merritt. She said, “A former student, Bobby Deaver, sent it to me, and I felt that the Little Chapel was an appropriate place for it.” Leaving the Little Chapel, one notices hanging on the door a poster with the follow ing poem, donated by Miss Merritt: A place of silence for inner peace; A door to faith, where worries cease; A chapel of comfort, where hope dares ask Sufficient strength for each day’s task; A shrine for worship, an altar for prayer. The sense of God’s presence and constant care. Deborah Webb
