S. G. A. Aspirants Lose And Win In
Recent Elections
C. W. Brower
By Debbie Barnes
News Editor
The Student Government Association recently
held its elections of officers for the 1979-1980 school
year. The turnout for the election was very poor, only
95 people voted which is about 12.6 percent of the
student body.
In the sophomore class Carl Brower defeated
Janet Hayes for the office of president, while Ricky
Edgerton defeated Ricky Martin for Vice President.
Martha Smith and Daryl Mathews lost to David
Hennis for the position of Secretary. D. J. Cooke
defeated Alice Robbins for Treasurer.
In the freshman class David Woodall and Deborah
Davis were defeated by Tad Heath for President, and
Richard Hoyle was defeated by Ronnie Spencer for
Vice President. For Secretary Amy Martin was
defeated by Rhonda DeBerry. Carol Stevens
defeated Barry Pronier for treasurer.
Carl Brower, Sophomore President, felt as
though the elections were not well carried out. There
was no opportunity for the candidates to speak to
the students and in most cases the students had no
idea who they were voting for.
Brower's objective as sophomore class president
are to organize class meetings and to try to organize
the whole student body. He is also trying to get types
of entertainment on campus instead of students
having to leave town. The reason why entertainment
does not work is because activities are more oriented
toward one group of students. His main goal is to get
students involved in activities they are interested in.
Visitation on weekends would create more activities.
Things cannot be done without student
participation. Students need to go out and
participate on committees to voice their needs.

A New Programming System
By Sara Dee Scarborough
Staff Writer
Dorm councils at Louisburg College this year are
now a thing of the past. The Residence Life Councils
have taken their place. Patricia Morgan, Assistant
Dean was responsible for the name change as well as
the new programming system it now includes. She
wanted to do away with the old concept of discipline
council had always been associated
with, pis year the Residence Life Council will not
only be a disciplinary council but also be a
programming one.
Students will now be responsible for organizing
programs in their dormitories. Morgan said this will
give these students an opportunity to learn how to
organize, design and carry out projects. At the same
time they will learn how to improve their
inter-personnal relationships. She said this know-
le^e will benefit them for the rest of their lives.

have cultural, educational, recreational and social
events brought to the students. Its goals are to help
stu ents relate to their peers, to fit into societies
system and to make decisions concerning future

well-rounded students knowledgeable in every
f ^ipn?^ 1 interests or
talents m a certain area. At this point in their lives
many coNege students are going through an identity
crisis. These programs could help students find
themselves and their interests. And this in turn will
help them decide about future careers.
The first project of the year was a mixer between
the Hillman and Merritt dormitories. It was held in
Hillmans lobby and the band Razor was the main
