Cheerleaders Honor Basketball Pla
ers
By LaPonda Bridges
On Tuesday, February 10th, the
Louisburg College Cheerleaders
honored the basketball teams.
The reception was held in the Blue
Room after dinner.
Dean Morgan, Dean Eller, Dean
Brown and President and Mrs.
Norris were honored guests. The
reception gave the cheerleaders a
chance to show their appreciation
to the players. They pointed out
how much fun it was to cheer for
super teams and how emotionally
involved they were. As stated by
Karen Gonzales, "When you lose,
we lose, and when you win, boy
do we win tool”
The cheerleaders honored the
players individually. Each cheer
leader had a little catchy line to
say about each player. The
coaches were very amused. They
found out things about their
players they never knew before.
After the honoring ceremony, a
cake was presented to each team.
All in all the reception was^ a
success.

S6A Election Slated For Mareh 26
The SGA elections to fill the
vacant offices were a success
except for a thorn-in-the-side
freshman vice-presidential race
that would not end. Not only was
a run-off declared in that race the
first time the elections were held,
but vyhen special elections were
held just for that race, neither
Dwight Creech nor Linda Floyd
nor Al Brandon could come up
with the 51 % of the vote needed
to be a clear winner. So another
run-off will take place March 26
between Creech and Floyd.
The winners in the first SGA
elections were Paula Nicholson,
SGA Vice-President, Teresa King'
sophomore President and Jo
Farrow, freshman Treasurer.
Although these people will
probably have their foot in the
door in the coming SGA general
elections, more people are needed
to run for office, because far too
often a person runs unopposed
for offices that have a heavy
inripact on student life on this
campus. Dean Morgan, SGA
advisor and SGA President Robert
Mathews urge all those who wish
run to file immediately with
SGA Secretary Delphine Alston
She will look over your files and
By Chris Scott
make sure you are qualified to run.
If so, you are then an official
candidate.
Remember all SGA offices will
be open for election. Now is a
person s chance to get active and
have a say on campus. Seize the
moment!

To Hot For Comfort
By LaPonda Bridges
Louisburg College has develop
ed a problem, some say. In the
dorms, early in the mornings they
say, screams come from every
bathroom. Why the screams? the
water coming out of the showers
is scorching them, in boiling
streams they say.
They say the shower has been a
problem here at the college since
September. Just recently, since
the change in weather tempera
ture, the showers have been
hotter than ever. Students caught
in the lava can't explain what has
happened but they know it is
uncomfortable.
First they think that they have
set the shower exactly the way
they want it. They soap the back
down and turn to rinse it off. This
is when the terror begins. The
back is one of the most sensitive
areas of the body. It seems as if
the water knows when they are
about to turn around. The hot
streams don't last very long, but
they are sure to return within
seconds.
Some dorms have it worse than
others. Maria Hewitte, who lived
in Merritt during the first
semester, said that the showers
were really bad early in the
morning. Because of the hot
streams of water she developed
a discoloration of the skin on her
back.
