I’d like to take this opportunity
to become the 253rd person to
welcome all students, freshmen
and sophomores to Louisburg
College. This should prove to be a
year filled with changes and new
opportunities.
We begin this year with a new
college President, Dr. Allen
Norris and a new Dean of
Students, Mr. Craig Eller. Both
seem to be interested in student
opinions and problems.
The first time I set foot on the
campus of Louisburg College I
remember asking “Is this all
there is? Where’s the indoor
heated swimming pool, the
lighted tennis courts, the air
conditioned dorms.”
Yes, I was a little disappointed.
But after a while things started
perking up. Chic’s, Dick’s, Easy
Shop, etc. On campus there were
the coffee houses, the flicks, (the
chicks), the YDC; and the keg
parties.
Now, looking back, I wouldn’t
take anything for the good times
(and an occasional 3,000 word
theme) that were synonomous
with my first year at Louisburg
College.
So freshmen, don’t get
depressed when you don’t have
anything to do, as you’ve
probably heard before, college is
what you make it.
Earlier this month, coach Sam
White, Intramural Director,
Girls Basketball Coach, and
Assistant Baseball Coach
resigned to take the Head
Baseball coaching position at
Campbell College. We will all
remember coach White for the
fine job he did with the in
tramural program. It will seem
strange not to see this charac-
tericic trot out to his third base
coaching position on the baseball
team. On behalf of the student
body I would like to take this
chance to congratulate coach
White on his job and wish him the
very best of luck.

courses necessary for a doctorate
but his new job has taken up a
great deal of his time.
He is married to the former
Sylvia Phelps of Somerset, Ky.
They have one child, a daughter,
Jamie, who is 11.
Eller said that he likes
Louisburg College and that he
plans to stay. “I have a great deal
of confidence and optimism in
Louisburg College, said Eller.
“Louisburg has a good future and
I am proud to be associated with
such a fine institution.”
Asked about any changes he
had in mind for the position, Eller
replied that he wanted to change
the atmosphere that has been
associated with the Dean’s office.
“I want the office of the Dean to
be student oriented and open to
all students,” confessed Eller.
“Without happy students we
(administration) would be
without a job.”
Eller said that he expects
students to approach their
schoolwork, school-related ac
tivities and friends in an in
telligent and logical manner. He
stated that he sees himself as
more of a proponent than that of
an administrator.
He now teaches one English
class but plans to teach two
classes in the spring if tune
allows.
Eller explained that he could be
seen on campus at almost any
time. “Just because I’m on
campus it won’t necessarily be
because of trouble,” he said. “I
want students to know me as a
friend rather than just another
body behind a desk.”
The total enrollment at
Louisburg College now stands at
588 students. First students
number at 376, joining the 212
returning students on campus.
Columns welcomes and en
courages letters from students
and faculty concerning anything
relevant to school, happenings,
etc. Publication of letters is at the
discretion of the editor, in regard

of course, we cannot print

COLUMNS, a member of Intercollegiate Press, is published
monthly. It is printed by the Henderson Daily Dispatch of Hen

To the Columns,
Saturday, Sept. 6, was a wild
continuation of one of Louisburg
College’s finest traditions—the
keg party. It was a beautiful day
for it, except for little rain. It was
held at what turned out to be a
great location — Bill Dickerson’s
farm out at Rocky Ford. Unlike
last year’s parties there were no
mud roads to fight or ruts that
could tear up a car.
The weather was threatening
for a while with thunderstorms
and lightning but no one’s spirit
was dampened. After the rain
slacked up the socializing moved
back outside again. Ample beer
was provided with 17 kegs. There
were also four pigs.
Around 4 o’clock the band (Hog
Bear) started. The smell of
roasting pigs along with the good
music and over 400 people made
it a great party and one to be
remembered. Probably the best
part was the return of last year’s
sophomores. It was really great
to see so many familiar faces to
catch up with the present
reminisce of the past.
On behalf of the student body I
would like to thank everyone who
made the keg party possible.
What a beautiful way to spend a
Saturday.
