Although I am guilty of complaining about the lack of events occurring on campus from time to time, as I looked over the past year, I realized that there were many impor tant happenings that the stu dents were a part of Probably one of the most exciting experiences for me was meeting United Press Inter national’s White House Bureau Chief, Helen Thomas. Thomas visited the Louisburg campus on November 29, 1988 where she answered questions at a press conference and delivered a speech to the faculty, student body, and visitors. Also, one of the most popular groups on campus was formed in October of 1988: the Peace Group. Since this group was formed, they have delivered canned goods to the Depart ment of Social Services, held a debate on Capital Punishment as well as a debate on U.S. Intervention in Latin America, and sent postcards and letters to prisoners of conscience dur ing the Christmas season. One of the saddest occur rences, was the death of Steve Pendergrass on October 21, 1988. The Louisburg College family will miss him for a long time to come. Major changes were made in the visitation policy. The SGA has worked very hard over the past months to help give stu dents more freedom in their dorm rooms. Obviously, their Rsvkw actions have made fantastic pro gress. Now, students have a vis itation schedule with many more hours than before. Another of the many expe riences Louisburg and its sur rounding area have undergone is the opening of the new audito rium and theatre. The twelve- hundred-seat auditorium and one-hundred-and-eighty-seat theatre have already been put to great use with art exhibits, a performance of the North Carolina Symphony, and the Grease performance held on April 17-22. Good luck to the auditorium’s continued success. The Lady ’Canes basketball team took the Region X title and Pam Gorham was selected as the tournament’s MVP. Her twin sister Phyllis, Carolyn Brown, and Lisa Lang were also chosen for the all-toumament team. Coach Mike Holloman was selected Region X Coach of the Year. Way to go ladies! And last but certainly not least. Black History month was celebrated at Louisburg Col lege with a Brotherhood and Unity Celebration which in cluded a commemoration of the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. and a month full of other activites to inform stu dents about Black History and race relations. So as you look back at your days at Lou-U, remember all of the activities that you helped to make possible. % The ]>(JCAA Women’s Basketball National Tournament in iyier, Texas.
