Page 2 COLUMNS February 28, 1966 Editorials To The Louisburg College Community; For the past several months I have witnessed almost total failure of students to partici pate in campus activities. The numbing fact of this condition is that the student does not try to correct the situation. In short, the student at Louisburg has no drive, conviction, or care—to tal APATHY. To be blunt, participation is the backbone of a college, and Louisburg has no participation. Our enthusiasm has about as much strength as a spineless jellyfish. One does not have to look far before evidence of apathy crops up. The SGA is attempting to better the college by being a representative of the student body. Although its members are open to all sug gestions from our college com- munity, there has been no response. Therefore, most of the ideas originate in the minds of SGA members. After five months most of their ideas have been used, and it is time for other players to take the ball and the initiative. Another point that! would like to expose is the area of giving and taking. To have a coherent and functioning machine, parts must operate to perfection. In much the same manner a body of people must also mesh to gether well. This requires the willingness of both parties to be an aid to each other. At L. C. we find that the school has given the student the op portunity to better his educa tion. The student has taken, but where is the giving? I challenge the students and the organizations on campus to raise themselves from their low state and better this col lege. Until favorable signs appear do not expect the college to leap forward. Furthermore, I firmly believe that we can not, we will not, be courageous and outspoken enough to correct the problem. But, in the eventof success, we will have begun to add to the strong foundations which this college needs. The Editor Praise And Challenge At the beginning of the sec ond semester, we would like to take this opportunity to com ment on the ten years of service that President Robbins has contributed to Louisburg College. During these years our President has seen these walls grow as never before. A massive building program has been realized, and several more structures are on the drawing boards. The enroll ment at Louisburg has almost doubled during the decade, and the faculty has been increased. One can easily see that this is an impressive and enviable re cord. But we challenge our Presi dent. More plans need to be tackled so that Louisburg can attain a position of prominence among junior colleges. These plans need to center around the aca demics and the physical plant, in that order. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools does not rate an insti tution on its beauty, but rather on student academic averages, instructors, and excellence of the library. The emphasis lies on the student and the progress ♦■hat he achieves. Therefore, more qualified students need to be enrolled at Louisburg while the less academically inclined should be dismissed. The coming decade will spell the difference whether Louis burg will rise to the leading roll which it is capable of doing.

Huggins displayed many mod ern works of art. Included in these were three experiments in design, three etchings, four sculptures, one pop art com position, and several land scapes. The sculptures are made up of three ceramics and one metal piece. The metal piece Is titled “The Forest.” Huggin’s art was selected for display because it represents what is being shown throughout the nation as prize winners in modern art. The exhibit was also chosen because it was cre ated by a North Carolinian. Presently teaching at U.N.C. at Chapel Hill, he received his B.F.A. from there in 1962, and he expects to earn his M.A. degree in Creative Art this year. He was born in Chapel Hill and is now living in Durham. Entering his work into many art shows, Huggins has won numerous awards. His most recent prize was second place at North Carolina’s Artist’s Annual, which was held in De cember of 1965. He also won the Thalheimer Purchase Award in competition sponsored by the Winston-Salem Gallery of Fine Arts. His work has also been ac cepted for the 19th Southeast ern Annual and the Sixth An nual Spring Contest.
