The old hospital buildings were a ready-made answer to the needs of the College in its origin in 1961, but the immediate ac ceptance of the College by the people of The Albemarle Area resulted in a steady increase in student enrollment so that, today, these facilities are no longer adequate. Careful deliberation and study has been given to renovation and ex pansion of facilities on the present site, resulting in the decision to relocate. Student enrollment has adily increased from 181 in 196MO over 800 full time and 200 part-time students today.

Burke is an In frantryman with Company D, 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). (U.S. Army photo by SP4 Roger Mattingly) By SP4 STEVE WARNER Private First Class Luke E. Burke of Belvidere celebrated Christmas dei:p in Vietnam's jungle. Luke, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Luke D. Burke of Route 1. Box 109-A, is a rifleman with Com pany D, 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) and a 1968 grqduate of Perquimans County Union High School. Home this Christmas was Fire Support Base Green, a tiny cluster of sandbag bunkers, howitzers and dust located in a jungle clearing 60 miles north of Saigon. Christmas began on the fire support base with an incredible proliferation of Christmas trees atop bunders and gun pits as "Do not open til Christmas packages" fell before recipients' curiositv. Surprises never ceased. One soldier received an assortment of musical in struments plus 100 sheets of Christmas music from a mother determined that he and his buddies should celebrate Christmas in style. Another proud, if somewhat bewildered trooper, acquired a female mannequin's leg com plete with nylon stocking and baby blue garter. Christmas formally arrived. at Burke's battalion at 6 p.m. Christmas Eve when the cease fire brought 24 hours of precious peace. Soon after, around an altar formed of ammunition crates, men joined in a traditional Christmas Eve worship service. Darkness found flickering candles and men clustered in small groups under the starlit sky to share delicacies from home, visit, listen to tapes and sing to the accompaniment of a harmonica or guitar. Only the mess tent hummed with steady activity. Between 6 p.m. and midnight, three cooks prepared and baked 84 mincemeat and apple pies and a thousand rolls as preparations for the Christmas dinner commenced. By noon Christmas day they and their 15 cohorts had accomplished the seemingly impossible: complete Christmas dinners including shrimp, roast turkey, two kinds of dressing and potatoes for approximately 500 hungry men. Midst these activities, somehow, the cooks found time to pack Christmas dinner for men in the field, prepare bag lunches for 135 individuals flying to Bob Hope's show and cook and serve Christmas breakfast to 300. Christmas Day was quiet or Luke's little base. Two Red Cross girls helicoptered in to distribute gifts and cheer. Major General George W. Putnam Jr., Division Commander and a Congressman paid visits. At noon everyone gathered for dinner. The day was even quieter in Jungle Xmas the jungle. In dimly lit caverns hacked from bamboo un derbrush, infantrymen gathered and ate Christmas dinners flown in by helicopters proclaiming "Peace To All Men" and "Merry Christmas Grunts" scrawled on their sides. Suddenly the radio crackled, "Element 4 is in contact." Someone muttered, "Damn Charlie, tell him to cancel the contact, it's Christmas." As if in answer the radio replied, "Negative contact, be advised we think it was just a pig." One trooper received his best Christinas present Dec. 26. Returning from the Bob Hope show, the surprised soldier learned he'd been given a 46-day drop and should be home with his wife in five days. Not everyone could be as lucky, but Luke and the rest could at least share one young soldier's Christmas thought: "All I want for Christmas is my life, my wife and my home. Something I'll have next year, God willing."
