MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1974 No. IV HEW Probing Campus Complaint Differences Are Over Social Rules Of Sexes 'm ^Castaways, Ltd,\„To Provide Music For Dance Winter Weekend To Be A Highlight Of School Year One of the highlights of the school year will take place this month when the SGA presents Terry Dee Winter Week-end on February 8th, 9th, and 10th. A concert, dance, and movie head the list of events planned. Terry Dee’s Rock’n’Roll Circus will kick-off the week-end Friday night in the College Auditorium. The Canadian based group should prove to provide quite a change of pace in entertainment for Louisburg students. The group features showman ex traordinaire Terry Dee from Quebec who leads “ring masters” Ted Herman, Larry Ernewein, Mamie London, Sandy McKay, and Sharron Timmins in a ninety minute carnival of skits, theatrics, humour, and music. The Rock’n’Roll Circus includes such antics as a trapeze act, a space show adapted from 2001: A Space Odyssey, a trampoline act, as well as medlies of material by Elton John, Janis Joplin, Joe Crocker, Sly and the Family Stone, and the Moody Blues. Also performed are excerpts from rock operas Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band; Jesus Christ, Superstar; and Tonmiy. Terry Dee’s Rock’n’Roll Circus will be appearing at numerous colleges and universities in the Carolina- Virginia area, including N. C. State University, The University of Richmond, and East Carolina University. The concert will begin at 9:30 p.m. and all LC students will be admitted free. On Saturday night, February 9th, the SGA will sponsor a dance in the College Cafeteria at 9:00. The popular “Castaways, Ltd.” will provide the music. This group is composed of five ex tremely talented musicians on guitars, keyboards, and drrnns. They feature a superb fifties act — “Joey Starlighter and the Jets.” Night of the Living Dead, probably the ultimate in horror movies, will be shown in the Auditorium Sunday night at 8:00. Louisburg College students will be admitted free but the movie is closed to the public. According to a letter to Lee Pearce, President of Student Government, the U. S. Depart ment of Health, Education, and Welfare Regional Office in Atlanta has received a complaint that differences between boys’ and girls’ social regulations violate equal rights for women. According to the letter, these charges will be investigated by the Atlanta office. Pearce had written to H. E. W. to find out more about alleged sex discrimination and was told in the answering letter that a complaint had already been received. The letter stated in part: “It is possible that dif ferences in social regulations for men and women may be discriminatory within the meaning of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Title IX applies to institutions of higher education receiving Federal financial assistance. Louisburg College is a recipient of Federal Funds.” The letter to Pearce was signed by Louis O. Bryson, Chief of the Higher Education Branch of the Office for Civil Rights, Region IV, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Atlanta, Georgia. Bryson explained that any additional complaints may be filed by giving the name, address, and telephone number of the complainant, the name and address of the institution com mitting the alleged discrimination, and a description of the acts considered to be discriminatory. Pearce went on to file a complaint and request a copy of H. E. W.’s findings on the previous complaint. The findings will be released to the public after being presented to the in stitution. Asked to comment on these developments, Dean Settle remarked, “The only comment I have at this time is that Louisburg College already has two task forces working in the area of women’s rights. One is the field of student life and in cludes student representatives. The other is specihcally designed to comply with the Government’s Affirmative Action Program against discrimination and in cludes representatives from all levels of College employees.” Later Vacation Dr. Cecil Robbins, President of Louisburg College, recently announced that due to the opening of second semester a week later than originally scheduled, Spring Vacation will begin March 8 and last until the 17. Also, the conclusion of the 1973-74 session has been extended to May 18. Founder’s Day Is Held On Camp us Louisburg College celebrated its 187th year by its annual Founder’s Day on January 22 with an address by Dr. Lindley Butler and a concert by the Upsala Chamber Choir. Dr. Butler, now chairman of the social science department of Rockingham Community College, is a former professor of history at Louisburg College (1963-66) and the brother of Louisburg sociology professor Robert A. Butler. Dr. Butler is the author of “Our Proud Heritage: A Pictorial History of Rockingham County” and of a number of articles in historical journals. At Louisburg College, he was one of those largely responsible for external restoration of the original Franklin Academy Building, located behind the AC Building. The Louisburg College Board of Visitors has voted to go ahead with plans for the interior restoration of the building. The Upsala Chamber Choir presented its concert at 8:00 in the evening in the AC Auditorium. It consisted of classical vocal music from the sixteenth century to the present day. The choir is made up of 25-30 men and women students from Upsula College in East Orange, New Jersey.
