The Staff:
EDITORIAL

Following the activity dinner and
performance Mr.. Hayes suggested that
the various pep and program assemblies
that have formerly been sponsored by
the Peptomists, be distributed among
the other organizations which took part
in the activity program
And why not? Some OF these groups
have no specific work with the ex-
ception of one or two traditional prof.
ects which they supervise. There IS
great deal of potential talent in many
of these groups, but it must remain
that way because the activities OF these
clubs do not run in this line.
The Peptomists receive great deal
of criticism because they cannot pro-
duce new, original, and amusing full
period programs for every football and
basketball game that comes along. We
realize how unjust it is to depend upon
eleven girls to think and prepare some
thing new after they have given fifty
performances and all of them distinctly
different.
Giving the other organizations pro-
grams to sponsor, however, would not
mean the adjustment of the Pepto-
mists. They would still be appreciated
by the faculty and student body as
much as they are now, and they would
still be in charge of a plurality OF the
programs; but this movement woulc
give them a rest and an opportunity te
enjoy some of the programs as spec
tators.

EARNHARDT PLANS
TO EXPAND WORK
Louisburg College To Lift
$4,000 Debt; Plans for
Finals Made

Louisburg, April 23-Plans for the
coming year at Louisburg College,
which include certain new additions
and extentions of old activities have
been practically completed, accord
ing to DR.. d. E. Earnhardt, president
of the college.
Dr. Earnhardt came to the college
on April 1, succeeding the late DR..
A. D. Wilcox, who had been head of
Louisburg College for the past five
years. The new president comes from
Fayetteville, where for the past two
years he had teen presiding elder of
the Fayetteville district of the North
Carolina Methodist Conference.
The program for next year calls
for an enlarged curriculum in agri-
culture and industrial arts; extensive
addition of machinery and tools to
the industrial art department; certain
improvements and additions to the
physical plant; the erection of the
new auditorium; the elimination of
the high school department.; and the
completion to the campaign to liqui-
date all Indebtedness against the col
lege
DR.. Wilcox in his five years at
Louisburg worked to achieve five
chief detectives, all of which at the
time of his death had been accom-
plished except the last.
These five detectives were: First,
to restore confidence in tho continual
ton of The college; second, to build
up an adequate student body; third,
to balance the annual operating bud
get fourth, to create an institution
worthy of the support of the confer
enco and friends of the college; and
''o''lidate the indebtedness of
the College.
Plans for the liquidation of the col
Iege Indebtedness, which were in pro-
cess of execution when DR.. Wilcox
passed away, have now been complet
ed These plans call for a short but
intensive and well planned drive to
obtain approximately $4,000. The a
mount necessary to wipe out the col
lege standing obligations. At present
it is planned to stage this drive in
May although the date may be ex-
tended to later time.
Addition To Plant
A total of forty new rooms may be
finished on the upper floors Of the
main -uilding which are not complet-
ed at present. It is also planned to
erect a new auditorium during the pre-
sent year, thus making it possible for
the general assemblies Of the college
to be held at central place on the
campus rather than at the high school
as at present.
In addition to adding several new
subjects to the curriculum Of the in
dustrial arts department, it is hoped
that by next fall a printing press with
which to do the college printing, as
well as teaching the trade, will be in
stalled. 1t is planned also to put in
bookbinding in connection with indus
trial arts.
DR.. Earnhardt also announced that
plans for the 1887 commencement are
complete and will run from May %
through the 25. Rev. c. K. Proctor,
of the Oxford Orphan
age. will preach the commencement
sermon on Sunday, May %, and on
May IS the graduation exercises will
be held, with DR.. W. E. Greene, Of
Duke University, delivering the an
nual commencement address.

The double locking bolt is so de- signed for safety that it cannot be fired until the action is closed and locked, and the bolt will stay open when the magazine is empty in order to facilitate loading from the regular clip charger,M MT. Brotherson explained. The mag azine capacity is five shots, but can be increased by the addition of extra magazines.
