Because of the favorable action on the North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Church at its re cent special meeting in Raleigh, Louisburg College is expected to receive the sum of $500,000 from North Carolina Methodists. The United College Appeal, better known as the UCA, is a campaign to raise needed funds for Louisburg College, Brevard College, Greensboro College, and High Point College. The appeal started in early 1951 in the West ern Conference, but, until the approval of the campaign by the North Carolina Conference, Louis burg did not share in the action. As the result of this approval, Louisburg will receive funds from all of North Carolina, 'and funds Should start coming in soon. Over one-half of the goal for the Western Conference has been real ized, and the campaign in that area will be completed around the lat ter part of the present year. The campaign in the North Carolina Conference will start late in 1952 and will be carried forward, dis trict by district, until the entire area has been covered. It is hoped that the entire campaign will be completed sometime in 1953. A number of improvements are planned for Louisburg College. Among these are: reconditioning the dormitories, new furniture for the dormitory rooms, a central heating plant, a new dining hall, and, if funds available permit, a combined Religious 'Education and Music Building.
