Inside Lou-U
A Call For Service
By The "Columns" Staff
Louisburg College WAVES
is sponsoring a Big Brother/Sis
ter program for the students and
teachers at Louisburg Elementary
School. WAVES, an acronym for
Workers Actively Volunteering
Energetic Services, felt a need to
reach out to the community, as a
means to help young students,
and to establish a link between
Lou-U and the town. Sue
Guerrant, WAVES Advisor ex
plains, "This is an excellent op
portunity for WAVES to become
well-rounded individuals. It is
one thing to come to college to
study, to live on campus, and to
enjoy college-life activities, but to
spend an |iour or two a week with
a young person who needs indi
vidualized attention can bring ful
fillment and depth to an educa
tional experience. I am delighted
that WAVES has chosen this
project."

Both are equally important."
