nity to enhance their social skills
and development.
To provide for the basic
concerns of the individual student
within the everchanging campus
community.

To provide integrated religious,

intellectual activities in order to
broaden the use of leisure time.
To provide an atmosphere of
warmth, high morality, and loyalty
towards the living unit, the
residence hall, and college as a
home.
To promote student retention at
Louisburg College by allowing
more campus interaction.
The following rules will be
established for the success of this
revised Open House Policy:
1. Each dormitory will be
self-determining in deciding
whether or not it will offer an
Open House Program. This
decision will be made at the
beginning of the academic year.
At any time during the year, a
resident may submit a request to
the Dorm Counselor to limit or
eliminate Open House hours.
Upon such a request, a vote will
be taken by secret ballot, with a
simple majority needed for ac
ceptance of the request.
2. Maximum hours for Open
House will be: Tuesday and
Thursday - 7:00 - 11:00 p.m.;
Sunday - 1:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.;
Friday, Saturday, Wednesday and
Monday Not at all
3. Guests must be met and
escorted in by their host/hostess
at the lobby or approved entrance
of the dormitory. At no time may a
guest enter the hall without a
resident escort. All guests must
register by name and room
visiting.
4. Violations of these Open
House rules will be dealt with by
the Administration and/or Disci
plinary Committee.
5. Doors must remain partially
open at all times.
6. Both occupants of the room
must agree to the visitation
participation.
All of the dorms have agreed to
the maximum hours slated above.
Take note of the hours and be
sure not to violate them!
Operation "Hopeline” Organized
Harold E. Wainwright, Jr.
On Thursday, February 16,
1978, The Louisburg Mental
Health Association held Operation
"Hopeline" at the Mental Health
Clinic. Dr. Richard Cooper, of the
clinic was the director of the
project. Volunteers and staff
members were available from 7:00
p.m. until midnight to answer
telephone calls on any subject.
The aim of Operation "Hope-
line" was to create a project to
help the association feel like it had
a purpose. Dr. Cooper said that
the project seemed to be a
success. Quite a few Louisburg
College students took advantage
of the opportunity to get help in
many areas.
The aim of the association was
to create a Pilot Project to see
what the response was before
talks begin in March about
starting something like this on a
regular basis.
All the people who donated
their time to man telephones and
answer questions were Louisburg
residents. Two of them work for
Louisburg College.
In all, there were fifteen
volunteers: Van Bass, Jim Bel
ches, Dr. Richard Cooper, Lucy
Davis, Robbin Davis, Dorothy
Harris, Charles Hill, Joyce Hunter,
Loise Mason, Miriam Porter, Ann
Scoggin, Mary Smith, William
Smith, Kenneth Thomas, and the
Rev. Abrey Thomason.
Dr. Cooper said the project was
publicized with radio announce
ments and posters made by
volunteers.

Defintion of a college professor:

Carlton Speaks On
Panama Canal
Mary Anne Mitchell
Herbert R. Carlton spoke at
Louisburg College on Thursday,
March 2, at 7:30 p.m. in the
multi-purpose room of the Jordan
Student Center. He is Associate
Professor of Political Science at
East Carolina University. Profes
sor Carlton was the featured
speaker on the program, "Dialo
gues on the Panama Canal: A
Look at the Canal Treaties from
the Perspective of our Cultural
Heritage and Human Values."
The program provided historical
information on the Panama Canal
and examined the questions
surrounding the decision on the
Canal Treaties. There was also a
slide presentation of a trip through
the Canal which was provided by
the Panama Canal Company.
Following the formal program,
there was a question and answer
session between the audience and
speaker. The First Vice-President
of the North Carolina League of
Women Voters, Ellen M. Ironside,
served as moderator.
The program is one of a series
of similar programs being held
statewide. It was developed by
the State League of Women
Voters and is funded in part by a
grant from the North Carolina
Humanities committee. The pro
gram locally was sponsored by the
Louisburg League of Women
Voters and the Franklin County
Chapter of the American Associa
tion of University Women. The
League does not have a position
either for or against the proposed
Treaties. It presented the program
as an educational opportunity for
the public. All interested students
were invited to attend.

Flue Epidemic Hits LC
Harold F. Wainwright, Jr.
It has been reported that a
number of Louisburg College
students have had the flu in the
last couple of weeks.
The flu epidemic that is with us
seems to be one of the worst ones
we have ever had. The school
nurse has been seeing between 25
and 30 students a day. Somedays
she sees over 40 students.
Mrs. Moone (the college nurse)
says that generally the symptoms
are: body aches, coughs, and
high fever. Most of the students
who come down with the flue
spend at least one day in the
infirmary. If the student lives close
enough he goes home.
It has been postulated that
students coming from other
schools have been bringing new
flue viruses to Louisburg.
If you are one of the lucky ones
who have not had the flu yet
should pray they do not get it!
From someone who has had it -
"It's no fun!"
