Propsed Dress Code

For those students and staff members who don’t know, Louisburg College is starting a dress code next year, the dress code will apply both in and outside the classroom. Board members believe the dress code will adhere to standards of cleanliness, and assist with creating an educational environment in which the students need to learn it. The acceptable dress code is as follows…
Clothing supporting a learning-teaching environment
Shorts longer than or equal to mid-thigh
Dresses no longer than three inches above the top of the knee
Shirts and blouses that are not tank top of have spaghetti straps
Shirts and blouses that go past the waste line and cover the waist/midriff
Clothing that is not sheer, mesh, or see through
Clothing worn to cover undergarments
Laced or slip on shoes of the correct size with laces tied
Unacceptable Dress
Hats, sweatpants, wraps, sunglasses
Clothing promoting alcohol or drugs
Clothing promoting gangs
Pajamas, sweatpants
Visible undergarments
Although the dress code may seem fair to some students, there’s a lot who wont follow by it. College is a place for adults to come get an education telling them what to wear should not be a choice made by the college. In my opinion, if the dress code does take effect. I will abide by it, it’s my peers and teachers who I’m worried about.

Safe Space Inc.

October is domestic violence awareness month. Today I attended the 9th annual candlelight vigil in recognition and remembrance of victims of domestic violence. The program was held here at Louisburg College. It was very touching to me and hit close to home. My intentions were to just go and be a volunteer but as the ceremony went on I started to get into the program and I was actually touched by one of the stories. The speaker read about a girl who lived in the area who told her teacher her boyfriend was hitting her. Three days later the girl was found dead in her front yard, she was gunned down by her boyfriend. It was a sad and touching story. I learned from this that if someone tells you they need help, help them. People have to start somewhere. Stop the violence. Break the silence.
If you or anyone you know are victims or possible victims of domestic violence. Man or female, should give Safe Space a call, it’s a place to help those in need. The number is (919)-497-5444

Alcohol Awareness Week

This week, October 1st- October 5th, is alcohol awareness week here at Louisburg College. It is designed to inform students the affects of drinking underage. Also, if they choose to drink and drive, it shows the effects of it. Throught the week we have seen reenactments of accidents caused by drunk drivers and played games wearing beer goggles, as if we were under the influence. In the past 10 years 250, 000 people have died in alcohol-related accidents. Each victim leaves behind loved ones whose lives are forever changed. If you've been affected by a drunk driver please post your story here.
