SGA Election - the Best in Years
September, 1980
After reading (or ignoring)
myriads of signs, posters and
political advertisements, Louisburg
College students qued up again
on September 10 to vote for their
favorite class officer candidates.
Several hard-fought campaigns
took place, especially for the
freshman presidency and vice
presidency.
For days preceding the election,
ambitious and service-minded
candidates roamed the campus
putting up their posters and
explaining to curious on-lookers
just why they should bother
casting a vote for them. The
winners of the most well-run and
best-organized SGA election in
years, will now look forward to
seiving in an SGA that appears
quite capable of managing itself
and student affairs this year.
The winners of for the Sopho
more Class were: Becky Fisher,
Rjesident; Royce Richardson'
Vice-President; Carol Stevens,'
Treasurer; and Jamison Sutton,'
Secretary. The winners for the
Freshman Class were: Buddy
Medlin, President; Scott Bailey
Vice-President; Tammie Fish,'
Secretary; and Harriet Willard,
Treasurer.
The Elections Committee de
serves a lot of credit for the
success of the election and should
get special recognition. They are:
Joy Woodruff, Lisa Laughing-
house, Jeff Coit, Elizabeth Kin-
cheloe, all from the Sophomore
Class. Lavanne Summer, Nancy.
Midgett, Chris Fields and Carol
Nichols served on the committee
from the Freshman Class.
The Election Committee over
sees ail SGA Elections and makes
m
sure fair play and honesty
characterizes the process. They
also count the votes after the
election is over and then they post
the results.
According to the Student
Constitution - Article IV, concern
ing the Student Senate, these
class officers are automatically
a member of that body upon
election. They will serve in the
Student Senate along with the
two regular Senators from each
dorm - one Freshman and one
Sophomore, two day-students
and the SGA's Executive Body
making the total number
twenty-six for this year. Presiding
over the SGA in an advisory
capacity is the Assistant Dean of
Students, Pat Morgan.

SGA Sophomore Officers
Dean Morgan was enthused
about the class election this year
and especially the Elections
Committee. "Looking overall, they
put a lot of energy and effort into
organizing the entire election
process," she said. "We en
countered a few problems but
they did an overall fantastic job!"
Under the firm leadership of
Kim Hughes as Student Body
President, the SGA looks like it
will make its mark on campus this
year. The various committee
heads are in place and they are:
Jim McNeil, Food Service and
Student Center Affairs Chairman,
Becky Fisher, Chairman of the
Disciplinary Committee, Carol
Stevens, Chairman of the Enter
tainment Committee and Joy
Woodruff, Chairman of the

Chairman of that committee.
Several committeemen serve with
each chairman in overseeing the
affairs under their jurisdiction and
will help the chairman set the
committee's schedule and advise

Dog Psychology
SGA Freshman Officers
As we all know, it can be a
dog's life here in the academic
world. Psychology professor Pat
Morgan helped demonstrate that
on Wednesday, the 17th of
September, when she brought the
dogs right into the class.
Professional dog trainer Laurie
Fisher enlightened and enter
tained Dean Morgan's intro to
Psych classes with her educated
canine friends, Buster and Pooh.
Buster is a Belgian Tervuren and
Pooh is a Field Spaniel. They did
show tricks for the Psych
students, while Fisher, who works
for the Cobble Hill Kennel, led
them on.
Fisher explained to the stu
dents that to train a dog you have
to use psychology on him. The
technique is called operant con
ditioning. The trainer gives the
dog positive or negative rein
forcement or reactions to what is
performed. "The main reinforce
ment is praise," said Fisher. "The
second best reinforcement is fooc
and the third is touching the
dog."
