There was crimson clash of war,
Lands turned black and bare;
Women wept;
Babes ran; wondering
There came one who knew not these things
He said, '‘why is this!”
Where upon a million strove to answer him
There was such an intricate clamor of tongues
That still the reason was not.
Stephen Crane
This paper in the next three issues will attempt to simplify
and sort out the many voices that flood our everyday lives and
leave us resigned to complacency.

Lets All Be A Part Of
Black History Month
In recognition of national
Black History month, which is
a nationwide celebration
paying tribute to the many
contributions of black people
in the United States, a
collection of conscientious
students have had the zeal to
include Louisburg College and
its surrounding community in
recognizing the many unique
and wonderful qualities black
people have brought to the
United States. Louisburg
students, who include Byrd
Wilkins, Patricia Dunston, and
Tammy Mitchell, have
dedicated their time and effort
into making this nationwide
tribute to black culture mean
something to Louisburg.
Entitled “Brotherhood and
Unity Celebration”, the special
homage being payed to the rich
Black History will include a
j variety of intriguing activities,
ilt all starts on the 26th of
February and will run to the
28th of February. Here is a list
of planned events:
Tuesday, February 26th -
Folk tales and Afro-American
stories told by area residents.
Wednesday, February 27th -
A program that will include a
surprise speaker, poetry
readings and modern dance.
Thursday, February 28th - A
Variety Show in the Multi-
Purpose Room that will feature
local talent.
Also, on Wednesday Ed
Moolenaar (Food Service
Director) will help celebrate
Black History month by
providing dinner with some
good down home southern
cooking.
The students leading the
program stress that “only
through participation,
cooperation, encouragement,
and a lot of support by the
Louisburg College community
and family will the tribute
become, indeed, a celebration.
From The President
For Christmas, I received a
calendar and a poster called
Murphy’s Laws - And Other
Truths. Murphy seems to be
the ultimate pessimist, but
what he says is often true. I’m
going to share some of my
favorites with you.
If you’re feeling good, don’t
worry, you’ll get over it.
Friends come and go, but
enemies accumulate.
A short cut is the longest
distance between two points.
When in doubt, make it
sound convincing.
The chance of a buttered
piece of bread falling in your
lap is directly proportional to
the cost of your pants.
When a broken appliance is
demonstrated for the repair
man, it will work perfectly.
Never argue with a fool,
people might not know the
difference.
The chances of being seen are
dramatically increased by not
wanting to be seen.
I just needed to get all this
pessimism out of my system.
For some reason the cold
weather and snow seems to
make everyone crabby.
To tell you the truth, I am
already looking forward to
spring. In the mean time. I’d
like to see all of my pessimism
turn to optimism. It would be
even better if everyone could
join me. This campus needs to
work together.
A divisive campus gets
nothing done, but a unified
campus has no limits. I am
asking all sophomores and
freshmen to work and give a
little effort into making a
campus full of pessimists into
an active and fun group of
optomists.
There is a Valentines Day
Dance, February 14th.
Ask Tripp Foltz and Amy
Joseph if you can do anything
to help.
