Roughton States Views
“I’m entering office with
rather mixed emotions,” com
mented newly elected SGA
President Bill Roughton. “I
realize that the responsibilities
will be great next year and a lot
of hard work will be involved, but
to have a chance to serve my
friends will be worth it all.”
In viewing his forthcoming
administration, Roughton cites
social regulations as a major
issue. He plans to campaign for
inter-dorm visition, as well as a
feasible curfew settlement.
Roughton backs the porposal that
will go before the April 26 Board
of Trustees meeting, enabling
any student to come in any time
he wishes. The proposal calls for
all dorms (both men’s and
women’s) to be closed at 12:00
p.m. If a student comes in after
this time, he gets the security
guard to let him in, with no
penalties or questions.
Roughton feels open channels
of communication with the
Administration are a necessity
and plans to make a sincere ef
fort at keeping in close com
munication. He expressed a
desire to work directly with the
Administration rather than
through the Board of Trustees,
thus eliminating unnecessary
delays.
“Our primary interest will be
in doing what the majority of
students want,” stated Roughton,
“whether it be in women’s rights,
entertainment, or whatever.”
An important instrument to be
utilized next year will be polls
and questionnaires issued to the
student body. By the feedback,
the new SGA will be able to
determine exactly what the
students want in all areas of
campus life. Roughton said this
will eliminate any possible ac
cusations that the SGA is taking
too much responsibility in its own
hands without student support.
Roughton praised the work of
this year’s SGA, and ascribed to
them a major breakthrough in
the field of social regulations.
“Louisburg College doesn’t
want to damage its Christian
atmosphere,” said Roughton.
“Christianity can be defined as
caring and helping your fellow
man. In so far as placing
restrictions on one’s freedom,
this only hinders in finding out
truth. I feel only the individual
should decide if he is morally
right in his actions.”
