Campus Face-Lifting Goes On In Summer By HARRY LANGE While students were enjoying their summer months of sun and fun, there was a considerable amount of activity on the Louisburg College campus. This activity pro gressed to such an extent that re turning students were amazed when they confronted the “new campus.” The gravel and clay are now ab sent from the area around the cafe teria. Now students may sit around tables situated on the brick patio and indulge in a conversation or a card game. This new patio will eliminate the problem of mud and puddles of water when the rain and snow descend. Brick walkways have also been laid in the cafeteria area. Although these are detrimental to the parking facilities, which here-to-fore were present in this area, the neatness of appearance and the convenience of a dry, puddleless area upon which to walk enhance the overall picture of the campus. The areas which are now covered by hay will soon be alive with grass. When the grass has grown and the hay has been removed, the picture presented will be that of a small garden plot with walkways threading their way among the freshness of nature., TheJ library entrance which used 1 to be Main across from the Post Office/has been closed and walled- off. Now students enter from the rear of Main Building and encoun ter the reference rodm. This im provement has temporarily de prived the men students of their television room, but this ‘catastro phe’ will soon be rectified. A stu dent may now pursue his or her studies diligently in the library with out the inevitable opening and clos ing of the door by the Post Office which was accompained by loud voices, shrieks of laughter, and mill ing of feet on the cement floor — all of which were insurmountable distractions to efficient study. There seems to be a new juke box in the soda shop. It appears to be extremely popular as it can be heard blasting away its tunes from breakfast until late into the night. These are the improvements which have transpired throughout (Continued on page four) Churches In Louisburg Louisburg offers churches of three denominations to the student body of Louisburg College. They are Baptist, Episcopalian, and Methodist. Services are held at 11:00 a.m. each Sunday morning at all of these churches. Louisburg Baptist Church is lo cated at 302 Main Street, on the corner of Main Street and Sunset Avenue. Reverend Aubrey S. Tom linson is the pastor of the Baptist Church. Louisburg’s Episcopal Church, under the guidance of Reverend W. M. Latta, is located on the cor ner of Sunset Avenue and Church Street. College students may ac tively participate in the Canterbury Club which is connected with the Episcopal faith. The Methodist Church, with Reverend Herman Winberry offi ciating, is located on the corner of Main Street and East Noble Street. Concert Series Opens Season With ‘Carmen’ The 1960-61 Louisburg College Concert series will begin on Octo ber 24 with the National Opera Company’s production of “Car men.” The National Opera Company is the former Grass Roots Opera Company, which was organized in 1948 in Raleigh. For the past 12 years the company has been tour ing North Carolina and surround ing states. Their audiences consist mainly of high school and college students, for their progran^s are presented most of the time as part of college concert series or of town concert associations. The members of the company are young singers with varying levels of experience, from all parts of the country. They all have college de grees in music, or the equivalent, and some have had considerable ex perience in opera, concert, and tele vision. Many past members have attained recognition through experi ence gained with this company and have gone on to higher realms of achievement. “Carmen,” like all the produc tions of the company will be sung in English. The opera focuses its at tention on gypsies who live around Seville, Spain, in 1820. The most famous of them all is Carmen, a bold and heartless young gypsy girl who works in the local cigarette fac tory. She is in alliance with a band of smugglers in the nearby moun- tians, led by Le Remendado and Le Dancaire. Don Jose, a hot- blooded young corporal stationed with a regiment of dragoons in Se ville, has been in love with Micaela, a peasant girl from the countryside, his childhood sweetheart; however, he becomes infatuated with Carmen and deserts his regiment after a fight with the captain of his company. He and Carmen, with her companions, Frasquito and Mercedes, join the gang of smugglers in the mountains. But already Carmen’s attentions are shifting to a dashing toreador, Es- camillo, and the ensuing complica tions can only lead to tragedy. Color, humor, jealousy, and (Continued on page four) FACELIFTING New improvements can be seen in the picture above in which some students lounge on the new terrace and others line up for dinner.
