Parents get to know each other while waiting in line for lunch. Parents’ Day Is Successful A reception, entertainment, and visits with faculty attracted to campus one of the largest crowds of the fall during Parents' Day yyh-ich wa§_heW on O,ctob^ 23. Thie day's activiTies began of- ficially with registration in the library. Beginning at 10:30, Mrs. Nancy Yarborough gave a recital in the college auditorium. The program began at 11:00 with President J. Allen Norris, Jr. presiding. Dr. Mac Ricketts gave the invocation and parents were welcomed by Steve Guyton, pre sident of the Student Government Association. Mr. William E. Terry, Sr. represented the parents and responded to Steve's welcome. The topic of the program was "The Educational Value of Louis burg College." Four alumni spoke of their experiences at Louisburg College and how these experiences have helped them. Duffy L. Paul, who graduated in 1950, and William M. Hill, Jr., who graduated in 1955, were speakers. Also, Jan Moses and Dean Hobbs, who graduated in 1975 and are now seniors at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, spoke. Derrick Newsom, accompanied by Miss. Sarah Foster, rendered special music. Mr. Walter McDo nald gave the benediction. Lunch was served in the Duke cafeteria from 12:00 to 1:30. Student entertainment was pro vided during lunch. From 1:00 until 4:00, parents visited the faculty and administra tive staff. Campus tours were held in the Robbins Library, Cockrell Music Wing, Art Gallery, Main Building, Student Center, Science Labora tories, and the Biological and Ecological Park. Few Shots Given Only 105 students and thirty faculty and staff members re ceived the swine flu innoculation given at the infirmary during the week of October 25. Mrs. Lala iVloon feels this small number can be attributed to the controversy over its effects and the bad publicity it has been given. Also, some people received the shot through the health clinic here or in their hometown. Mrs. Moon stated she had found nothing wrong with the shot and had taken it herself and suffered no side effects. Students who took the shot reported only minor arm soreness and one girl is said to have had a fever. Still, most remain skeptical and are content to wait until they are certain it is safe. When asked if she thought a student's chances of contacting the swine flu were greater here at Louisburg, Mrs. Moon said, "Yes I do." This can be true because a person at college is exposed to a broader range of areas from across the state. The swine flu innoculation will continue to be given as long as the supply lasts at the infirmary. One may take the shot Monday through Friday during regular hours. Dance Highlights Homecoming Weekend This year's Homecoming Weekend was filled with good entertainment in hopes of cheer ing up the student body after weeks of subjection to classes and studies. On Friday afternoon, an SGA- sponsored carnival was held out side the Student Center. A tug of war and pie throw started the weekend rocking. Shortly after dinner, the Entertainment Com- mitte proudly presented a concert with "The Sutter's Gold Street Band." This band is very popular among the fans of country-rock. A $.50 admission was charged. On Saturday night, the Louis burg College Hurricanes Chal lenged Wingate College in the Holton Gymnasium at 7:00. Fol lowing the game, students and guests were invited to dance to the sounds of "Showcase," a versatile rock, disco, soul, and fifties band. Showcase has re ceived a good response at ail of their engagements. On Sunday night at 8:00, the Entertainment Committee showed an old comedy western movie, "Cat Ballou," starring Lee Marvin. This ended the official Home coming Weekend, sponsored by the SGA and the Entertainment Committee. The Louisburg Ensemble sings at Chapel. Louisburg Ensemble Begins Concerts This year's Chapel Choir not only has new faces but also a new name! During the past few years, several people have suggested that the designation "Chapel Choir" was a misnomer since the group sings for many occasions other than religious services. Therefore, on October 26 at a dinner in Miss Foster's home, the members of the Chapel Choir raised their glasses of iced tea in a toast to the new name - the Louisburg Ensemble. Singing engagements for the year are not complete at this time, but the first out-of-town appear ance of the group will be on Sunday, November 21 when they will sing at the Nashville United Methodist Church for a meeting of the Rocky Mount District of the North Carolina Methodist Confer ence. Members of the Louisburg En semble are Johnny Cline, Karen Epps, Curtis Fairley, Beth Moul ton, Derrick Newsom, Betsy Nor ris, Cindy Oakley, Pam Pittman, Rickey Pulley, Sue Salmon, Rob bie Sherron, Mark West, and Dianne Williams.
