SGA Introduces Open House Program
As most of you sophomores and
some freshmen know, change of
any kind around Louisburg
College is indeed a slow and
tedious process. However, there
is still hope! The Student
Government Association, in
cooperation with the Student
Affairs Office, has drawn up a
workable Open House Policy,
which is now in the process of
going before the Board of
Trustees for ratification. The
original recommendation is as
follows:
We, the students of Louisburg
College, respectfully request that
an Open House Program be
established for the resident
students.
We are in accord with the
College Administration in
upholding the traditions and
heritage of Louisburg College as
well as the mandate required of
them by the Methodist Con
ference. We recognize the fact
the Administration does not have
the personnel to administer an
Open House Program, and we
desire for ourselves the privilege
of establishing and administering
this program and assuming the
responsibility for such a
program. We believe the
previous attempts at establishing
such a program at Louisburg
College have not been successful
because the programs were not
planned properly, nor did the
students take the proper
responsibility in working toward
its success.
We ask for an Open House
Program for the following
reasons:
1. Inter-dorm activity — in the
beginning of the school year, the
Life Style Expectations
established by the Dean of
Students, included activity
sponsored by each dorm. We
believe this to be the plan to
promote this activity.
2. Social Standards — We feel
with an Open House Program, it
will build social standards
through the individual. Each
student will share responsibility
in the success of the program,
while building a better un
derstanding of his-her social
obligations.
3. Visitation of Opposite Sexes
in the Dormitory — On many
occasions, such as Homecoming
and ball games, many have been
violators of visiting the opposite
sex in the dormitory rooms. This
has become a serious problem at
Louisburg College. We feel with
such a program as Open House,
this would stop a large per
centage of these violators.
We recognize the fact that any
system is only as good as those
who are willing to respect the
rights and integrity of others. We
also believe the students of
Louisburg College are ready to
accept this responsbility.
The following rules will be
established for the success of the
Open House Program.

Gillis Elected
SGA Vice Pres.
A special election was held by
the Student Government
Association on February 4 and 5
to elect a Vice-President to
replace Jan Moses, who was
elevated to the office of
President. Lee Gillis of Raeford,
N. C. was the victor over three
other candidates. Gillis will serve
for the remainder of this
semester, until the 1975-76 SGA
officers are elected.
Gillis gathered 129 of 2iB9 votes
cast, or 44.6 percent. Nora
Mansour of Louisburg ran second
with 70 votes and 24.2 percent.
Danny Lee of Four Oaks, N. C.
was third with 58, or 20 percent,
and Susan Howell of Raleigh, N.
C. finished fourth with 32 votes
(11 percent). A total of 289
students voted, which represents
46.4 percent of the Louisburg
student body.
Gillis said that “he hopes to get
something done before the end of
the year. I won’t make any
promises,” he continued, “but I
am willing to listen to any student
who has suggestions or ideas. I’ll
do anything conceivably possible
to help.”
Two Concerts Planned
For W inter W eekend
Two rock and roll concerts are
planned for the SGA Winter
Weekend, February 14 and 15.
Terry Dee’s Rock and Roll
Circus, who appeared at last
year’s Winter Weekend
festivities, will return for a week
long seminar and concert, along
with Liverpool, a group which
sounds amazingly like the
Beatles.
Terry Dee’s Rock and Roll
Circus appeared at Louisburg
last year at the beginning of their
U. S. Tour. They were well liked
by LC students for their ver
satility, talent and sheer en
tertainment value. Their show
included excerpts from Jesus
Christ Superstar and Sgt. Pep
per’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,
along with comedy skits, circus
acts and routines, and a 50’s act
as well.
The Terry Dee group plans to
stay the week of February 10 at
the College for a break in their
college concert tour. They will
rehearse during the day, hold
seminars and rap sessions with
the students, and plan a com
bination concert-dance on Friday
night.
Liverpool is a group with an
amazing talent for recreating the
Beatle music of the 1964-1968 era.
The group, composed of Rick
Pearson and Dave Moyles from
Toronto, and Laurie Currie and
Brian Meissner from Saskat
chewan, met only eight days
before - their first concert in
March, 1973. They originally
were uneasy about an act that
was composed solely of playing
someone else’s music, but they
soon found that the act had great
entertainment value.
The group usually performs
three sets, changing the music
and costumes in chronological
order. The first set hits the early
music such as “I Want to Hold
Your Hand” and “A Hard Day’s
Night,” for which the group
dresses in neat blue suits with the
narrow lapels. The second set is
based on the Sgt. Pepper album,
with costumes appropriately
matched. The final set is brought
more up to date, with some of the
material from the Abbey Road
album used.
The Terry Dee Concert and
dance is planned for Friday night
following the LC Women’s
Basketball game in the
Multipurpose Room of the
Student Center. The Liverpool
concert will be Saturday night at
8 PM in the College Auditorium.
