A Message To The Student
Dr. Allen Norris, Jr.,
College President
What a pleasure it has been so
far this academic year to walk
about the campus and enjoy
friendly conversation with stu
dents! I appreciate the obvious
eagerness to converse, and it
certainly benefits the ease of
communication that I believe is so
important for any college campus.
Then, too, it is good to see so
many confident smiles. Parti
cularly for freshmen, it indicates
that you are adjusting well to
campus life.
I have noticed that on most
evenings every available seat in
the library has been occupied, a
good sign of student concentra
tion on academic matters. While I
do know of some who are
missing classes or otherwise
failing to place proper emphasis
on studies, the majority of stu
dents appear to be working, and
"you'll be glad you did" when the
pace begins to pick up later in the
term. Your own initiative to talk
with your instructors and your
faculty advisor is important, and I
hope you will take good advan
tage of the opportunities you have
at Louisburg College to talk
individually with faculty and staff
who care about you and the
experiences that you have here.
Mr. Sanderford tells me that so
far this year some 78 per cent of
the students are participating in
Intramurals and/or recreation
room activities. This is an ex
cellent involvement percentage,
and I hope it will carry over into
other campus organizations and
events. The best way to assure
success for any venture is through
participation, and what happens
here depends on the willingness
of the students to work toward it.
Louisburg College cannot be
everything to all people, but it can
be a good place for each student
to achieve self-realization and
greater confidence for what lies
ahead. We want to accomplish for
and with you what you see for
yourself; so let us hear from you
Sturges Joins College Faculty

This is Mrs. Sturges' first year
W
working with college students.
She finds the general atmosphere
at Louisburg College to be
friendly, and is anxious to get to
know more of the students here.
She states, "I am always willing to
help students with their pro
blems."
Mrs. Sturges is married to a
local lawyer, Conrad Sturges.

Drama Department To Present
/
"The Marriage Go Round"
Main Building - Louisburg College
The Louisburg Players will put
on a two-act adult comedy
entitled "The Marriage Go
Round" at 7:30 p.m. Sunday,
October 30th. The play will run for
five consecutive nights in the
experimental theatre, and it is
open to the public. Admission is
free to all students with their I.D.
"The Marriage Go Round" was
a Broadway Production in 1958. In
essence, it is "an illustrated
lecture on the Perils of Mono
gamy." Samuel French Inc. de
scribes the original production as
a "commonplace game of seduc
tion...(which) becomes an ironic
commentary on the war between
the sexes>.."
Members of the cast are
Michael Reinicke, Ivellisse Rosa,
Cindy Williford, and Scott Pearce.
It seems the drama department
is doing well this year. Director
Ray Mize states, "We have
talented people behind the scenes
as well as on the stage. This play
will offer the student body of
Louisburg College an opportunity
to see a highly successful Broad
way Production performed by
some of their talented peers."
