Activities Set For
SGA Spring Weekend
The Student Government
Association will present a festive
Spring Weekend on April 25, 26
and 27. Events include a concert
by Ellington and Huffman, and
Arrogance on Friday night, a
dance featuring Armageddon and
the crowning of the May queen on
Saturday night, and the showing
of the regular GSA Sunday Movie
on Sunday night.
Mike Ellington and Kent
Huffman are a couple of young
guitarists who convey a message
with their music. Both have
views on drugs, although their
philosophies originate from
different areas. Ellington was
once a drug user because of its
popularity with the musicians he
was involved with. Huffman
graduated from UNCJ-CH in 1961
with a degree in pharmacy. Both
now convey the message of the
problems of drug abuse through
their music and concerts on
college campuses. They have
appeared at (Rodney)
Dangerfield’s in New York, and
with Earl Scruggs in Winston-
Salem.
Arrogance is an up-and-coming
rock group from Chapel Hill.
Composed of Robert Kirkland,
Don Dixon, Marty Stout and Scott
Davison, the group has broken
attendance records in several
Chapel Hill clubs, and are now
becoming a popular college
concert group. Arrogance has
been described at one time or
another as sounding like
America, Loggins and Messina,
Eagles, Flying Burrito Band,
Fleetwood Mac, Dm Fogleberg,
Shawn Phillips, Grateful Dead,
Rolling Stones, Crosby, Stills,
Nash and Young, Youngbloods
... and the list goes on.
Kirkland composes, sings and
plays guitar for Arrogance, and
has been involved with music
since his early years. Dixon once
attended the University of North
Carolina, but dropped out to get
married, he sings, writes, and
plays bass for the group. Stout, a
composer of several songs, plays
piano for the band, and Davison,
the only Carolina graduate of the
group, does backup vocals along
with playing the drums.
Armageddon, who will play for
the Saturday night dance, is a
talented and versatile group.
Among their selections are songs
by such artists as Average White
Band, Buddy Miles and Carlos
Santana, Chicago, Deep Purple,
Doobie Brothers, Grand Funk,
Huses Corporation, Rufus, Jim
Croce, O’Jays, Sly and the
Family Stone, Stevie Wonder,
Tower of Power, and War. They
also include a ’50’s Rock Medley
in their act.
Finally on Sunday night at 9:00
p.m. in the Student Union
Multipurpose Room, the SGA will
feature the “Five Fingers of
Death.”
The Friday night concerts will
begin at 8:00 p.m. in the College
Auditorium, and the dance
Saturday night will run from 9:00
to 1:00, in the JSC Multipurpose
Room. All events are free to
Louisburg College students and
their guests.
’75-’76 Officers - Linda Sykes, Harley
Dartt, Frances Strickkind & Steve Bunnell
Dartt Makes Plans To
Return SGA To Students
Armageddon
Harley Dartt, elected without
opposition to the Presidency of
the SGA for 1975-76, is making
plans to bring the SGA back to the
level of the students. “I hope to
move the SGA from a puppet
government to a ‘student’
government, and I don’t plan to
be anybody’s ‘yes’ man,” Dartt
conmiented.
Dartt did not run on a platform
of promises or dedication to great
change. He does not support
Bicentennial
Committee
Is Formed
The Louisburg College Bicen
tennial Conmiittee was formed
on March 24, 1975, to formulate a
Bicentennial program for
Louisburg College. Chairman of
the Conunittee is Robert E.
Rector, and members are
President-elect Dr. J. Allen
Norris, Mr. Edward F. Yarbo
rough (Board of Trustees), Mrs.
Josephine Zealand, Mr. Carl
Settle, Dr. William R. Rose, Mr.
J. Craig Eller, Mr. Allen DeHart,
and students Dean Hobbs, Pete
CuUop and Susan Hight. More
students are to be named to the
Committee in the coming weeks.
The Committee has met twice
to discuss ideas for the Bicen
tennial and make plans to present
its application to the State
Bicentennial Commission for
designation as a Bicentennial
College. Plans are now being
finalized for the application, and
it should be filed by the end of
April.
Bicentennial activities must be
scheduled to occur between now
and July 4, 1976. At least one of
the projects must continue
beyond that date.
The Conunittee is interested in
including a broad range of
projects and welcomes student
and faculty input.
change merely for the sake of
change, and believes that
“change will come with co
operation.” He does vow,
however, to listen and give at
tention to all proposals that come
before him and weigh each one on
its own merit.
in regard to the unratified
constitution that the elections
were run on, Harley stated that
he would ratoer be running on a
proposed constitution than one
that doesn’t exist at all. At least,
he feels, the new constitution will
give a chance for improvement
and change.
In responding to parts of the
new constitution, Dartt felt the
2.5 rule (as a qualification for
SGA office) is a good one
because any office that a student
is elected to will require time and
work, and that student should
have better than average grades.
Yet, on the other side, he fears
that the 2.5 rule will exclude a lot
of average students from run
ning, and in effect make the SGA
an exclusive club in an academic
respect.
Dartt is concerned over the
makeup of the Student Senate
and hopes to overcome the
apathy of the students by getting
people running for the Senate.
One possible solution proposed is
that of an educational campaign
aimed at Freshmen during
Orientation. This campaign could
teach incoming Freshmen of the
workings of Student Goveitaent,
the Student Senate, and
Louisburg College in general.
In conclusion, Dartt said he
plans to spend a lot of time in the
SGA Office next year and will be
available to students, faculty and
administration alike — but
mostly to the students. He plans
to run a completely open office
and wants to hear from any
student with a concern or a
problem.

Poe Film Festival
To Show April 28
Four of the most chilling tales
by the undisputed American
master, Edgar Allan Poe, will be
brought to the screen in color on
April 28 at 8 p.m. in the College
Auditorium. The anthology is
sponsored by the Committee of
Public Affairs for the Film Series
of the College.
Narrated and portrayed by one
of the most acclaimed American
actors of all time, Vincent Price,
the eerie tableaux unfold in all
the darkness intended by their
author. Included in the fantastic
but frightenly believable stories
are the heart-pounding, fear-
rendering “Telltale Heart,” the
mysteriously enigmatic
“Sphinx,” the cryptic “Cask of
Amontillado,” and the perilously
suspenseful “Pit and the Pen
dulum.”
Price, perhaps the world’s
foremost delineator of the noted
poet-author’s works, has starred
in over a dozen filmed versions of
Poe classics produced by
American International Pictures
— many of which have been
honored with special awards and
recognition by international film
organizations like the New York
Museum of Modem Art. His
special talents and introspective
interpretation together with the
starkly realistic sets and
costumes combine to depict the
potpourri of Edgar Allan Poe
with striking authenticity.
The total film is 46 minutes in
lengto and is open and free to the
public. Humanities credit will be
given.
