Louisburg College
COLLEGE THEFTS ON THE RISE Talent/Comedy Night Held at College
by Karen Ray
Theft at Louisburg College
is becoming a bigger issue
among the students.
Chip Juttles, of Patten
dormitory, is just one of the
students who recently had his
room burglarized. Chip had a
new television set, over $500.00
worth of clothing, and other
valuables stolen from his room
over the weekend of February 6.
After realizing what had
happened, Chip contacted the
police to file a complaint. The
police guessed that the thieves
stole the items for either money
and/or drugs.
When filing a complaint -
with Craig Eller, dean of
^udents, the following day,
Chip learned that there was
nothing the College could do
since all personal property
must be insured by a student’s
personal insurance company in
order to be covered.
“I think the College should
have some type of insurance
policy,” said Chip, “From
what I have been hearing, there
have been a lot of thefts right
here on campus,” he added.
In addition to Chip’s views.
Dean Eller was also asked to
comment on the situation.
Eller suggested that break-ins
are not an everyday occurance
but usually happen near the
College’s breaks, like
Christmas and Spring Break
He suggested that all students
keep their rooms locked at all
times. In addition, dorms
might organize a **dorm
watch” program by keeping an
eye on each other’s rooms.
Anyone seen in the dorm who
looks suspicious, should be
asked what they are doing, and
later reported to an RD, RA, or
security.
Eller also suggested that
students keep accurate records
of their personal belongings.
Photographs (if possible) and a
record of the serial number
should be kept on file. In
addition, the Office of Student
Affairs supplies an engraver for
students who wish to engrave
their license number on their
prop>erty. All of these things
make it easier for the police
when tracing the stolen goods.
Eller also pointed out that
since becoming Dean at
Louisburg College, he has
doubled the security and tripled
the amount of lighting in and
around the campus. “Students
can be sure that we will do
everything we can to prevent
losses like this,” he said.

Theta Kappa Helps Needy
by Shawna Williams
News Editor
This year, Clara Frazier,
chemistry instructor and
faculty advisor for Phi Theta
Kappa (honor fraternity)
decided it was time to bring
greater national recognition to
the organization. The
fraternity decided to become
more involved on the national
level. Some of the members
recently attended the National
Convention in Dallas and saw
how active other groups were
and became more interested in
working up to that potential.
Each year, in order to qualify
for national competition,
schools must complete a
community service project.
While thumbing through the
newspaper, Frazier noticed that
Gene Hasty, coordinator of
Care and Share, ” in Raleigh
was quoted as saying that “the
Care and Share program in
Franklin County had nothing
to give the needy in the
community,” that their
cupboards were bare.
At that point. Phi Theta
Kappa decided to have a food
and clothing drive for “Care
and Share.” The students
collected a great deal of
clothing and food for the
community service program.
The collected items were
presented to Hasty on February
29th and she was very
impressed. “Even though the
College students don’t live in
Louisburg year round, they
consider it their home away
from home, and they
considered this a very special
project,” said Frazier. Five of
I eleven members of the
prestigious honor fraternity are
form Louisburg.
On March 24-27, another trip
to the national convention in
Washington, D.C. was made by
several of the members.
Planned site seeing, seminars
on the U.S. Constitution, and
the election of new national
officers were all part of the trip.
Students attending included
Denise Ayscue, Eric Carlson,
Ronnie Goswick, and Susan
Miller.
New inductees will be
inducted at a special service in
the Benson Chapel at 7 p.m. on
April 14. The criteria for being
accepted to Phi Theta Kappa
include a 3.5 GPA for freshman
and a 3.3 for sophomores as
well as record of achievement
and good character.
