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.

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.
