First Student Recital Is October 30

Sunday, October 30, at 4:00 p. m„ the LaGrange College music students will present a recital in Dobbs Auditorium. The students who will be playing tine piano are: Claire Harris, Louise BlaTock, Elizabeth Coleman, Dianne Scott, Delores Lester, ^Joyce Lancaster and Hedy King.

The unusual feature of this re- cital is that it will be a perform- ance of the complete set of fifteen Three-Part Inventions of Bach. The complete set is rarely per- formed by students. This will be the first time it has been per- formed in LaGrange. Tnese tine ventions by Bach were written as instructional pieces in piano play- ing for his son', Wilhelm Frier** mann. These inventions may be \ characterized as unusually : wrought miniatures which utilize double and triple counterpoint.

Bryan Dobbs will play "Com- munion" by Richard Purvis on tfre organ.

Two freshman voice students who will be making their first appearances in this recital Carol Sinclair, who will sing "Lasciatemi marire" from "Aria- na" by "Monteverdi and "se tu nami, se sospri" by Pergarelisi, and George Culliver, who wifl sing "Dedication" by Robert Franz.

Claire Bowles will sing J. _S. Bach's "My Heart Ever Faithful1' and Wayne Hilliard will sing "O del mio amato den" by Donaudy.

The Community Concert Asso- ciation of LaGrange will sponsor a concert to be given by Lauracy de Benevides, a former L. C. stu- dent. The concert will be held hi the LaGrange High School audi- torium on October" 18 at 8 p. m.

LaGrange College students are invited and urged to attend. Tick- ets may be obtained in Mrs. Tal- bott's office on Monday, October 17, without^ any charge. The price of the ticket is covered by the ac- tivity fee paid at registration.

Miss de Benevides attended La- Grange College as a Rotary Ex- change Student from Brazil, studying voice under .Miss Eliza- beth Gilbert. After tw0 years at L. C. she went to New York City •for further study. In New ■ York she has been studying- with Dr. William Pierce Herman, who has instructed such Metropolitan Ope- ra greats as Patrice Munsel and Roberta Peters. Miss de Benevides is a charming

person, with a gay sense of hu- mor. She wins her audience in her first moments on the stage and thereafter holds their attention with her lovely voice. She is a coloratura soprano with a wide .oenl range. She sings an 'T above high "c", with the greatest of ease. The quality of her voice is exquisite. "Madame" Gilbert says of her, "Lauracy has one of the most naturally beautiful voices I have heard."

Miss de Benevides says her program in LaGrange will be a new one. It is her second concert in LaGrange since leaving here. Her first was sponsored by the Rotary Club two years ago.

The program will be a colorful variety of songs and arias, made famous by the greatest coloratura irtists. Dr. Herman, who is pleas- ed with her student's talent, has chosen her program. On the pro- gram will be:

Handel, "As Moth At Even, O Sleep Why Dost Thou Leave Me."

Saint-Saen, "The Nightingale and the Rose."

Bizet, "Ouvre Ton Coeur." Chasson, "Le Temps Des Lilas." Lia Doff, "Musical Snuffbox." Rarhrnan'noff, "Here Beauty

"batter up 99

For several years, the new boys on campus have taken a first glance around the Hill and sensed that something is missing. Why doesn't LaGrange College have a baseball team?

Perhaps the reason given those brave enough to ask —that the campus is not large enough to warrant the added expense of establishing a baseball team—has just been justi- fied in past years. Intercollegiate competition in basketball and tennis have kept us pretty busy playing and cheering up to now.

But times are changing and with the times, the appear-1 ance and way of life on the Hill. In the fall of 1958, there were less than twenty boys in the freshman class. This fall, there were more than thirty freshmen boys boarding in Tur- ner Hall, not counting freshmen being in town and the large number of transfers. Then there is the faithful group of returnees who have begged for a baseball team all along.

The facts are there. This campus is now large enough to produce and support a good baseball team. After all, the opportunities for playing intercollegiate basketball and ten- nis are pretty well taken care of. Let's give some of the other fellows a chance at playing in intercollegiate competi- tion by adding baseball to the athletic agenda.

We've gone to bat. Do we hit a homer or strike out?

win or lose Somewhere along the line, someone got his sense of

values mixed up. Today, as a result, competition for the E. A. Bailey Award is carried on in a rather unfortunate man- ner.

The award was set up so that our fraternities might be able to carry on a gentlemanly yet spirited competition in each of three areas: scholarship, leadership, and athletics. All this is well and good.

But gradually the leadership and scholarship aspects of the trophy competition became the side shows, while the sporting events were carried on up and down the midway. Leadership and scholarship were items to contend with only occasionally. They seldom bothered anyone until the final accounting.

Especially in the area of scholarship points, individuals have been known to "fudge" a little in past years. Is it fair to drop a fraternity member from the rolls and then use his grades?

The realm of athletics, while it has become the most strongly emphasized and the most hotly fought, has also been carried on in the worst manner.

Here we have cases, of flaring tempers and lost friend- ships, laid down on the athletic field. Again individuals and not whole fraternities have often been responsible for tam- pering with the technicalities. There is the case of one fraternity leader, since departed from the Hill, who preferred to forfeit games to an opponent rather than allow the major rival to have an honest chance at winning.

This boils down to the fact that the E. A. Bailey Award, as it is now contested for, is an insult to the memory of the man whose name it bears. What the award was set up to represent and what it now means are entirely different items.

All of this has had an effect on the Hill's fraternities. They have become geared to sports alone, rather than to equal emphasis divided among leadership, scholarship, and athletic competition.

As another year of competition for the Bailey Award begins, we urge that the original objectives be taken seri- ously. Only then will the trophy be worthy of bearing the beloved late Deans' name. Only then will the trophy be worth working toward.

ANDY OWEN, Religion Editor

Don McKoy regarded the Baro- que phrases emitted by the rec- ord player with some degree of apprehensiveness.

"What is that? Bach?" "You guessed it," I replied. It

was one of Bach's beautiful little Brandenburg Concerti.

"He sort of lives in a world of his own, doesn't he?"

I agreed, and that set me to thinking. A world of his own, eh?

And I sort of wondered about us all and about our times. I found it hard to think of many truly individual contemporaries. Most of the individuals who came to mind were there because of a negative notoriety, not a healthy, positive individualism. And, af- ter each of these few individuals trailed a string of imitators. Scratch a^ Hitler, and you find a Castro. Let Jackson Pollock paint one of his abstractions, and soon you find dozens of little old ladies imitating Pollock's work on pre- numbered sets.

This seems to be the way not only in politics or the arts, but in the contemporary religious heiarchy, too. We pray canned prayers set down in books for easy consumption. The church has sought to become very entertain- ing, so that we will flock to the Sunday evening service in droves. The individual is not giv- en a chance to motivate his going to church because of a need in his Soul; he goes because the preach- er, in his "old time religion" fana- ticism, has become more enter- taining than Ed Sullivan. It is not searched - and - yearned -for faith that he gets, but one of the emotion-coated lollypops out of the preacher's bag of tricks. This is religion as big business, not re- ligion as faith.

A further aid to the disintegra- tion of individuality in our society is the genius behind the desk at the advertising agency—the man who convinces you that you really want a pearl-lined garbage can or a silver-plated toothbrush. These people are the prostitutes of our society, putting their talents to work on worthlessness, all the while destroying our individual- ism.

Yet Christ had to suffer on the cross alone. Few would be indi- vidual enough to follow Him. We stand back and cower with the rest.

We are all in danger of becom- ing cookie-pattern replicas. Per- haps we should take time to take a long, hard look at ourselves in a full-length mirror.

Moral: It is better and cheap- er to paddle your own canoe than to ride someone else's steamship or bandwagon.

Play on, Mr. Bach; individual- ize to your heart's content.

Unless you have been completely overtaken by steeping sickness, you know the routine—you are rudely disturbed by your room- mate's tiptoeing around the room at 7:30.

By Ray Barfield

Everytime a crowd gathered on campus during the past couple of weeks, we were sure that some- thing wild was going on. There was ratting, sorority and fratern- ity pledging, national politics, and get ling down to the grind.

Porter Morgan attracted his own crowd for a singing session in the Maidee Smith garden. Pro- fessor Fred Henderson's World Lit class discovered the world of Tu Fu (pron. "Too Foo") and Li Po ("Lee Poe.") In fact, they made friends everywhere—China, India, Greece, and Boston. Char- les Roquemore became a profes- sional dancer. Andy Owen be- came a leading man. Millard Beckum became a member of the going-steady clan, to the delight of his Turner Hall friends who at- tempted to share in his new-found happiness.

Don McKoy began his memoirs of life in a chicken coop. Ann O'Bryant and roommate, Louise Blalock, had troubles with the decor of their room in Pitts—the case of the impertinent mobile. The campus broke out in a rash of pops and worse. Sally Curtis in- formed Sigma of "a subject of in- terest to all." Mr. Sellers talked painting and Dr. Melson talked sainting (Paul, by and large). Dr. Kovar got downright philosophi- cal (American, per se). Prof. Blanks was interested in reading rates, but the male students were interested, as usual, in other fig- ures. Turner Hall got a new decoration, but are Georgians REALLY for Nixon and Lodge re- gardless of party? And every- where we turned during these two weeks we still saw new faces. So discouraging!

* » *

Speaking of discouraging . . . Freshman girl, to friend, at post office box: "Everyday they tell me what I've done that I shouldn't have, what I haven't done that I should have, and what I've just plain done wrong."

Another student, pushed around by the 10 A. M. people jam in the Little Store, was heard to remark desperately, "But I don't want to go this way at all."

Claire Swann of the Admissions office has a new puppy. The name: "Per Se." "Ruff, ruff"— by and large.

Bryan Dobbs had a horrible thought while standing in the lunch line on Rat Day. He view- ed the dolled up female rats with alarm and commented, "I hate to think that my wife will look like that every morning at breakfast."

Dr. Jennie Lee Epps summar- ized thusly the faculty reaction to ratting: "Just a series of snorts."

Dianne Alford showed an oppo- site kind of reaction on the day that Jack passed through: "I TOUCHED him!"

Marianne Whelchel had her own distressing problems. According to Marianne, who has a new- found interest in ancient Chinese poetry, the campus library has "Too few of Tu Fu." Confiden- tially, there is little mo' of Li Po.

The choice item on exhibit when the Art League visited at Prof. Sellers' home recently was the four-month-old daughter, Molly. Mrs. Sellers lovingly describes her as a "two-man exhibit."

"Ratting" was completed on schedule October 7th and 8th, af- ter being temporarily cancelled by the sophomore class.

On Tuesday, October fourth, the Rat Committee was told by administration officials that all ratting activities must cease until the coming weekend. According to officials, this action was taken because some individuals had tak- en "ratting" too far.

Meeting the following evening, -the sophomores voted to cancel all plans lor ratting. Rumors to this effect (were spreading across the campus, and many tresnmen had ceased to wear their ratcaps.

Members of the freshman and sophomore classes began to ex- press disappointment that ratting pians nad been cancelled. Moves

made to have all of the freshmen sign a petition express- ing their desire to be ratted.

Sophomore leaders met, mean- time, and reversed the previous decision, subject to the approval of the class. The sophomore class met at five p. m., on Friday and voted to again take up ratting plans.

Rat Day began at eleven p. m.. that evening, as agreed upon "by the faculty General Discipline Committee and the Sophomore Rat Committee.

General hazing began when the "rats" were led onto the May Court between Smith and Turner. At midnight, the freshmen were led back to the dormitories for general ratting.

Ratting was carried on full-for- ce the next morning, through lunch and into the afternoon. At three p. m., the freshmen were herded into Rat Court in Dobbs Auditorium. Rat Court with John Gipson as judge, was completed in slightly more than an hour.

Finally, the rate were led to the Rhythm room of the gymnasium, blindfolded and expecting addi- tional hazing. The sophomores greeted them with a surprise party which signaled the climax of ratting.

• * • The situation of "ratting" on

the Hill has long* been termed an uneasy condition of circumstan- ces because of always-present in- dividuals who lose sight of its real purpose, take unkindness, harshness, and thoughtlessness too far, and ruin the average soph- omore's good intentions. "This has happened in the past and it has happened this year, according to administration sources.

Understanding that there are always some individuals who car- ry things too far, the college has followed a practise, of having the sopnomore "rat" committee and proper administration members agree on each year's plan "of act- ion during the "ratting" period. A contract was drawn up by this committee as usual. The purpose of the agreed-upon contract was to make clear the type of activi- ties to take place between fresh- men and sophomores. Reports from both administration mem- bers and campus students have reyealed that this year's decided-

upon contract was, unfortunately, broken and tnat "ratting" activi- ties would cease temporarily. This action was taken Oct. 4 by the General Discipline Com- mittee.

According to the Dean of Stu- dents, the reason is both unmis- takeable and understandable: un- thinking individuals went beyond agreed-upon limits in their "ratt- ing," thereby creating a situa- tion that each freshman and sophomore must accept.

The original purpose of "rat week" at LaGrange was to make freshmen feel "that they are a part of life on the Hill," accord- ing to many upperclassmen. Be- cause of the recent circumstan- ces, it .is now felt that this pur- pose can be accomplished in a more dignified and Christian manner. Any change in plans or policy lrum now on will be what administration and the sopho- more "ratting" committee feel is best.

When word spread across the campus Thursday that "rat day" had temporarily Deen cancelled, "rats" expressed disappointment as revealed in this freshman poll:

Jack Thomas: "1 think 'rat day' is a very important step in ad- justing to college life, anTJl would not feel like a freshman if I

SCA SCHEDULES MEETING TIMES

Committees of the Student Christian Association will meet on the second Tuesday night of each month from now on, instead of Thursday nights, as was original- ly planned. Mary George Dean, president of the S.C.A., says that it is still not too late to join a committee, and she urges each L. C. student to join the commit- tee of his choice.

On Thursday night, October 6, the Reverend William A. Jones, Jr., rector of St. Mark's Episco- pal Church in LaGrange, was the guest speaker at the S.C.A. Asso- ciation meeting. The Reverend Jones' subject was "Loneliness (or Fear)—The Campus Gods and the Logos." The Worship Commit- tee, with Sylvia Cowan as chair- man, is in charge of Association meeting programs.

didn't g0 through TT." Frank Boozer: 'Ratting has

been a tradition at L. C. for a long time, it is as much a part of the school as the fraternities and sororities."

Betty Jean Evans: "Rat day gives the new student a chance to prove himself mature enough for college life, and it gives the up- perclassmen a chance to learn what sort of sport he is."

Frank Joiner: "I think we should have 'rat day" because I want to be able to rat next year. The freshmen expect It anyway, and it is a lot of fun."

Chris Nygaard. "I " feel that 'ratting' is one of the important steps in determining the kind of student one is. It will be very bad for something to happen to this tradition."

Bill Lewis. "Ratting gives the freshman a common enemy, and unifies the freshman' class. It is a long tradition and memories are made of traditions."

Barbara Weeks: "Ratting gives the freshmen a chance to really get in the swing of college life, and to adjust to their new sur- roundings. It is a tradition I think L. C. should not lose."

The Major Task Of

Choosing A Major Uncertainly as to t he choice of gretfully, I realized that piety was

a major is one of the most fre- quent maladies afflicting college freshmen. Being of a most excru- ciatingly indecisive nature, I had extended experience in selecting my own major and should like to recount my story for any despair- ing student who may find com- fort, or at least company, therein.

As a bewildered freshman I was sure of one thing, that I was sure I had no major. However, I had decided that my major would be music, art, elementary education, biology, or religion. One field from which I intended to shy away was English. As I found that it would be difficult to sign up as a major in all of these fields, I took refuge in the no-major de- partment and found there a host

■ of other equally undecided fresh- men. Advised by the head of the no-major department, I planned a freshman year filled with required courses. From these, the rather distraught advisor suggested, I might discover a subject in which to major.

As one of my possible majors was music. Mr. Westafer advised me to go ahead and take theory and piano lessons. This I did, for somewhere in the back of my head I cherished a vision of myself as a great pianist moving audiences to tears with stirring perform- ances of Beethoven's "Pathetique Sonata" and Chopin nocturnes. During my freshman year I fre- quently moved sensitive-eared per- sons, particularly Mr. Westafer, to tears with my unsteady Bach in- ventions, and unrhythmic scales and finger exercises.

Biology, one of my required courses, offered me a chance to delve into the intricacies of the scientific method. During second- semester biology one of my friends and I did an experiment in fly- breeding as a project in genetics. We spent 150-odd hours making media for the' flies, counting their offspring every 12 hours, and re- cording the rather dubious results. One day, to our dismay, we dis-

' covered a determinedly red-eyed fly in a bottle from which only •white-eyed flies were supposed to emerge. On Mother's Day I was one of the five people who stayed on campus; I felt a little like a martyr each time I' counted the flies that week-end. Biology was not the major for me; I must find some other field which didn't re- quire such sacrifices. Then, too, after that stubborn red-eyed fly, I had my doubts about ever mas- tering the scientific method.

During freshman English I wrote a term paper about Albert Schweitzer's work in Africa. In- spired by accounts of his service (o man, I pictured myself working in the jungles of Africa. In an exalted moment I decided on re- ligion as my major but was jolted back to reality by the sight of a line of call-downs awarded me

not among my virtues, and there- fore, religion would hardly be a suitable major.

At the end of my freshman year I was still a no-major; how- ever, I knew of three fields in which I did not wish to major.

During my sophomore year something drastic happened; Eng- lish literature came into my life and changed my world complete- ly. My poor roommate suffered through endless hours of poetry and, no doubt, could have passed the final on what I had read to her. Second-quarter English lit- erature led to further education of my roommate by her roommate, who had become a self-appointed member of the English faculty. Any one of my friends seeing me with my English literature book and a dazed, enraptured, look-at-

Kindergarten There are signs and posters

everywhere on campus and off that indicate this school to be La- Grange College. If you stop and think about it, these signs are a farce. They should read some- thing similar to LaGrange Day Nursery or LaGrange Kindergar- ten.

Webster's Collegiate Dictionary defines the word "college" as a place for the purpose of acquiring a higher education. Without a doubt, the students here at school get a higher education so far as the books and test tubes are con-, cerned, but when it comes down to allowing the student to get a higher education in the field of maturity and responsibility, this school is a miserable failure.

This is not a big school, but the students here are the citizens of tomorrow and many of them are the citizens of today. This fact does not seem to matter to the administrative regime at all.

The students that are here at this-poem-I've-just-found expres-school are supposedly trying to sion in my eyes, would dash toward the nearest exit to escape subjection to my reading the poem to her for the next hour.

At the beginning of 3rd quarter of my sophomore year, as I went to register, I could see fearful ap- prehension on the faces of various faculty members as they feared I might stop at their tables. Their fears, however, were premature, for I headed decisively toward the no-major table. At the end of third quarter, my advisor diplo- matically informed me that I must decide on a major field. You can- not imagine his look of amaze- ment and of relief when I inform- ed him that I had already decided on a major. My decision was in- evitable, as I was actually power- less in the face of the persuasions offered by Shakespeare, Burns, and Shelley. I belonged inex- pressibly more with them than with Bach, Beethoven, or with fruit flies. That I had ever con- sidered another major seemed pre- posterous. Tot the relief, no doubt, of Mr. Westafer and of the no- major department (which might have had to set up advanced no- major courses) and to the dismay of the English faculty, I announ- ced my major: English.

Now, from my own experience and for the benefit of anyone con- cerned and misled enough to lis- ten to my advice, I shall sum up the cardinal rules in selecting a major:

1. Don't announce your major upon first entering college. Give the no-major department a little fun and keep them in business. By so doing you will add to the suspense of the faculty and keep things from getting dull.

2. Benefit from required fresh- man courses. Do outside experi- ments to gain deeper insight; you will probably decide there are many fields in which you do not wish to major, thus narrowing your possible choice.

3. Don't slight any department; during the preceeding week. Re-use your electives to take sam-

get an education. If this is true, then why is the student not al- lowed to choose for himself if he will or will not go to classes. This idea will help the crowded situa- tion also in the fact that those who do not go will funk out, leav- ing room for those who wish to get the education.

The cigarette is another impor- tant item. The school says it does not encourage smoking. That is well and good, but if students are going to smoke, the fact that we do not have cigarette machines on the Hill is not going to stop them. Those students who do not smoke will not be influenced to buy cigarettes here on the Hill anymore than they buy them up town. One of our problems is to broaden the minds of a few "Big Wheels".

If the school does not encour- age smoking because of the Meth- odist church, and it is my under- standing that this is the reason, then why is it that other church supported schools sell cigarettes on campus. The following are just a few of the Methodist-sup- ported schools that sell cigarettes on their campuses: Duke, Emory, Emory-at-Oxford, and Young Har- ris.

Mind you, I don't say the cig- arette is the main factor or the only factor that doesn't allow the student to make up his mind for himself, but it is an example.

What it al^ boils down to is the fact that the school administra- tion has not and is not consider- ing the student. This may sound like an ungrateful statement, but if the student is not allowed to

plings from them all. It may take you five years to finish school, but the administration will love you fop your extra financial support.

4. Finally, from all this diverse experience find whatever is the inevitable, that toward which your spirit inclines and from which it refuses to he turned away, the thing you love and can't logically explain your attachment to; then give in to it.

5. Once you have decided, quickly take enough courses in your major field so that it will be impossible to change your deci- sion.

6. Now, look around for a minor field, but don't, under any circumstances, mention the fact that you are looking for a minor to your advisor or to any other faculty member. Their resistance has already been lowered by your former indecisiveness, and, for a weak heart, this last announce- ment could be fatal.

The smil- ing, tanned, tired-looking candi- date waved to the college stud- ents on one side of the street and elementary school children on the other. He had a special wave for the group of college boys who held up a large Nixon banner.

Included in the dozen or so cars and three buses of the caravan were such dignitaries as Senator Herman Talmadge, Governor Er- nest VanStver, Atlanta's mayor William B. Hartsfield, Alabama Governor Eugene Patterson, and also the Atlanta Newspapers and WSB-TV had representatives.

At the airport, a number of college students shook hands with the senator. Six were allowed to sit on the press platform. The senator made a few remarks, af- ter which his plane departed for a South Carolina speaking en- gement.

Roquemore, Culpepper Attend Convention

By Charles Roquemore Ronnie Culpepper and Charles

Roquemore were delegates to the annual Circle K'' International Convention held in Toronto, Can- ada, during August 24-26. The Georgia delegation and part of the Florida delegation embarked or? this long and tiresome, but en- joyable trip from Atlanta by train. This was the first time the local Circle K had been repre- sented at an International Con- vention since its existence ori our campus.

It was also tEie first time in the history of the organization that the convention was held on Canadian soil with the Kuvg Ed- ward Sheraton Hotel the location for three days of Circle K fellow- ship and education. There were some 300 Circle members^ repre- senting 111 clubs, in attendance.

Many people may~have quest- ions as to the nature and pur- pose of such a convention. We, too, had ncTidea of whaT to ex pect; however, we soon learned what tb.e convention "ntailed. The delegates and officers were to transact the business, elect the new officers, and adopt the theme, objectives, and resolutions of Circle K International. This was quite a task in addition to mak- ing new acquaintances.

The theme of the convenfion was "Buil Individual Maturity." This theme seemed to_be quite appropriate since the delegates showed a seriousness of purpose and were intently concerned with the ways in which they could be of service to their campus and community.

Upon election of officers, rep- resenting various regions of the United States and Canada, the theme, objectives, and resolutions for 1960-61 were adopted. In a- dopting a theme the following perspectives were considered.

This changing world needs more sharing, more personal ser- vice, and greater sacrifice.

Twentieth century living de- mands that basic belief in God be elevated—lifted until one feels His intimate presence.

This presence gives man peace and poise, perspective and power

As we humbly walk with God, we see that opportunities have correlative obligation. We know that if we will live we must love; and loving we must iiehten the load of our fellow man.

God wants men great enough to be small enough to be used.

The theme, "Emphasize Active Citizenship," was adopted for 1960-61.

The following objectives were also adopted:

1. Emphasize moral and spirit- ual values.

2. Emphasize scholarship. 3. Emphasize activity of the

local clubs. 4. Emphasize safety. II was resolved that we: 1. Re-emphasize our purpose.

2. Concer.'trate on the positive emphasis of Circle K Internat- ional.

3. Promote inter-club rela- tions.

4. Engage in the Circle K In- ternational Summer Student Ex change Program.

5. Re-dedicate ourselves to closer Canada-United States rela- tions.

6. Endorse and support youth organizations.

The memories of this convent- ion include the sights of Metro- politan Toronto, the train trip inspirational addresses by~ com petent speakers, and the hospitali- ty of the sponsoring clubs. The convention gave us renewed de sires and inspiration to strive for an active program of service on the L. C. campus and in the com- munity. We shall expend our en- ergies to adhere to the theme, objectives, and resolutions hereto- fore mentioned.

We shall endeavor to serve to gether, to build loyalty to God. to country, to fellowmen and to the ideals for which they stand; to build energy to practice loy- alty, to render' service and to de- fend rights; and to build citizen- ship to accept individual respon- sibility and to promote under- standing leadership t0 develop in- tegrity.

Chorus Works Toward GMTA Performance Next Month

For the past several weeks there has been talk of the unus- ual musical sounds that have come from the third floor chorus room window during Choralaires practices

Other than the short time tak- en out for breathing exercises and for a John Kennedy rally, the chorus has been steadily at work making ready for its first performance.

On November 14, the group will present its first program, Howard Hanson's "The Cherubic Hymn," before a very critical audience, the Georgia Music Teachers As- sociation, which will be meeting here at the college. There will also be a performance during the

house party on December 3 and a Christmas program on Decem- ber 11.

This year's fifty-four voice chorus is very proud of its mem- bership both new and old. The new additions for 1960-61 are Delia Atkinson, Betty Auten, Dean Brown, Jess'e Byne, James Christian, George Coker, George Gulliver, Joel Dent, Betty Flan^ again, Cassandra Harmon," Betty Hatchell, David Heck. Virginia Huffman, Morton Horn, Frank Joiner, James Knight, Jerry Mc- Curdy, Eddie Morrison, Barbara Murphy, Gloria Neill, Carol Sin- clair, Noel Smith, Sandy Thomas.

Prof. Ezra Sellers lends a critical appraisal to works in the L. C. galleries. Art works across the U. S. got the same treatment this summer as the professor toured a large part of the country by bus.

Sellers Takes Camera Tour

Of Country's Museums By Beti Lowrey

Four years ago, LaGrange Coll- ege gained a man "completely dedicated to his field" - Prof. Ezra Sellers, head of the La- Grange Art section of the Fine Arts Department.

Since this time, the Art section has grown more than, perhaps, any section of any other depart- ment on campus in enrollment. It is miraculous to realize a total of six art majors increasing to thirty-eight in four short years.

Of course, the new. art lab, pro- viding more favorable working conditions, and proper facilities, has engendered a greater enthu- siasm in this course of study. But Mr. Sellers deserves no less credit for his laborious efforts in designing a strongly interwoven program to develop a creativt and responsive artistic mind.

For the past three summers, he has spent his vacation with cam- era, in hand visiting museums and various points of interest in Europe, Mexico, and the United States.

This past summer, his tour be- gan early in July, and in only two weeks, he had taken 840 pictures to be produced as slides. This new collection and the four hund- red prepared slides purchased from the Metropolitan Museum were added to tfie nine thousand slides on hand. "Now, with over ten thousand slides in the depart- ment, students will have -the op- portunity not only to become ac- quainted with more of^ the old asters, but also to study many masterpieces more intensively.

On his most recent trip, M Sellers visited museums in Wash- ington, Philadelphia, and New York.

One of the finest collections of Chinese bronze in this country is housed in the Freer Gallery of Oriental Art in Washington. There the professor spent two days pho- tographing nearly every piece of art work in the entire collection.

In the Museum of Natural His- tory, Washington, he found many interesting pieces of early Ameri- can and early Italian art.

While in Washington, he purch- ased a collection of slides at the National Gallery, which were pre- pared for colleges and made avail- able at a discount. Most of his time in this gallery was spent in making detail shots of French Im- pressionism, and also Italian Prim- itive and Renaissance paintings. These details denote significant

I importance in intensive study of the techniques of various masters

During this visit, a fine exh.bi- tion of Maya and Inca works from a private collection were loaned to the museum. Some of the slides made here included gold objects of jewelry and masks.

Philadelphia, next ton the itine- rary, is especially famous for its Rodin Museum. Two of Rodin's quite notable works are "Tne Thinker" and "The Hand of God.'

In New York's American Mus- eum of Natual History, Mr. Sell- ers photographed works of all cultures of the world except the American Indian. Due to renova- tions and improvement of install- ation, this wing was closed, pre- venting even a brief viewing of this collection.

Prof. Sellers says that the Met- ropolitan was a sight tp behold, including pieces from Babylonia, Assyria, and Samaria. These rep- resentations were of sculptors and various artifacts of Biblical time.

By this time, Mr. Sellers had ' napped 840 shots with his camt ra. Since the Art section already had a sufficient representation from the Museum of Modern Art in New York, no additional pic- tures were made.

ATTEND MEET During October 21 and 22 the

fall meeting of the Georgia As- sociation of Women's Deans and Counselors will take place at the Continuing Education Center in Athens.

Attending this meeting from LaGrange College will be Mrs. George Talbott, Dean of Students, and Mrs. Julian T. Poole, resident counselor of Smith. The president, Miss N'na E.

Librarv Gets New Volumes

By Saiuli Messer The library at LaGrange Col-

lege is a very busy and interest- ing place. Students find a very useful need for the library to do our reference work as well as be- ing a quiet place to study.

According to a recent report given by the librarian, one-hun- dred and ninety books have been added since September 1st, 1960. An average of two-hundred books are added monthly. Since very little material is found on Egypt, and other places' in Africa, and Russia, new books on these areas have been added.

Since this is the Centennial year of the Civil War. new material has been added. Some of the most in- teresting books on the Civil War period are The American Heritage Pictures of the Civil War in two volumes, also The Photographic History of the Civil War in two volumes.

Several new books have been added on Art, one book being The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organiza- tion in fifteen volumes in which information on Egypt, India, and Israel, and various other countries are found. Then The Encyclo- pedia of World Art in fifteen vol- umes has been added, but so far

Student Council Has Busy Session

The Student Government meet- ing of October 11 was opened with the swearing in of Tim White as the new town boys representative.

The council then took the case of a male student involved in a breach of the drinking regulation. He was voted a two week social probation after lengthy discussion. The council also voted to clarify the drinking rule. It now reads "LaGrange College discourages drinking. While student is on campus, at school functions, or while under the jurisdiction of the school, no drinking, possessing of alcoholic beverages, or' any indica- tion that the student has been drinking will be allowed. Cases violating this rule will be brought before the Student Government Council." . ^ -

Council president Ann Gower reported on the results of her meeting with the new faculty Student Affairs Committee on Oc- tober 10. The council had pre- viously voted to request represen- tation on the committee, a new non-policy making group.

Ann reported that the faculty group preferred having students join the committee on a two-meet- ing trial basis rather than follow- ing the alternate suggestion of

only two volumes are in. The library is continuing to buy

a great many new phonograph rec- ords, mainly vocal and orchestral works. Mrs. Melson is planning to add some new magazines later on in the year.

The library was built to hold twenty thousand books, but now has over twenty-four thousand books on the shelves. We can hope to have a new and bigger library within the next two years. On October 11th, Mr. Sellers plans to leave for North Carolina where he will attend the Southeastern library conference to gather new plans for the future library. Lets take advantage of our library and use it.

Vic Manget and Charlotte Waid were nominated by the council as representatives to~ the Student Government from the freshman class. Other nominations will be made from the floor at the elec- tion of freshman officers this morning, October 18, at 10:00 a. m., in Dobbs,

The meeting was closed after the council passed a resolution asking students to keep down noise on the campus during quiet hours. Protests of noise had been around Hawkes, the halls of Smith and the porches of Turner and Pills.

This rule has been added to the men's regulations, effective October 4, 1960, by a vote of the Student Council on that date:
