VOLUME V, NUMBER 18 LAGRANGE COLLEGE, LAGRANGE, GEORGIA TUESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1963

Henry is named to

jurisdictional post The Rev. Dr. Waights G. Henry

Jr., president of LaGrange Col- lege, is again serving as chair- man of the committee on enter- tainment for the next Southeast- ern Jurisdictional Conference of The Methodist Church.

The quadrennial conference will be held July 8-12, 1964, at Lake Junaluska, N. C.

Dr. Henry, a ministerial mem- ber of the North Georgia Metho- dist Annual Conference, served as chairman of the entertainment committee for the 1960 jurisdic- tional conference, and was a mem- ber of the committee for two pre- vious conferences.

Plans for the 1964 conference were announced by Bishop Paul Hardin Jr., Columbia, S. C, sec- retary of the jurisdiction's Col- lege of Bishops, and Dr. Henry.

Jurisdictional conferences are held every four years to elect and assign bishops, promote the chur- ch's evangelistic, missionary, and benevolent interests, elect mem- bers to Methodist general and jurisdictional boards, and consider other business.

The denomination's Southeast- ern Jurisdiction is composed of nine states and Cuba. The states are Florida, Georgia, North Caro- lina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, Virginia, and Alabama.

There are five other jurisdic- tions in The Methodist Church.

No Senior Weekend There will be no senior

weekend this year. The ad- ministration explains that we just don't have the fa- cilities to take care of that many students adequately. It inconveniences the fresh- men, especially, and crowds the lunchroom. Also it is impossible to invite all the high school seniors and so it tends to make some feel left out. This in turn might discourage them from go- ing to LaGrange. Seniors are still welcomed to visit, but they must make their own arrangements.

Old library to become

administrative offices The old Banks Library Build-

ing will be converted into an ad- ministration building as soon as the books are moved into the new library some time in April.

Mr. Ezra Sellers, head of the art department, and two of his art students are working on tentative plans for the renovation of the old building. There are two main problems, Mr. Sellers said — how to handle the stairwells and how to arrange the offices so that ev- eryone has enough space for his needs. "Our plans," Mr. Sellers said, "are all tentative and must be approved by the LaGrange College board of directors."

Shaffer quits judicial post; replacement to be chosen

by MICKEY JOHNSON and JOHN WHITE

Vincent Shaffer resigned from the Judicial Council on January 24th. When asked his reason, Shaffer stated to The Hilltop News that he "was overheard discussing actions of the Judicial Council."

The council voted and accepted his resignation, and a re- placement will be selected by a faculty-student committee this week.

Panthers' title hopes nipped LaGrange may quit GIC due to scholarship rule

Due to the recent action of the Georgia Intercollegiate Conference, LaGrange College may drop out of the league and become an independent basketball team much like Mercer, Oglethorpe, and Georgia Southern.

COACH AL MARIOTTI

Superlatives picked in campus-wide election

In a general election held last week by The Quadrangle the 1963 superlatives were chosen.

Millard Beckum, a senior from Augusta, Georgia, was selected Mr. LaGrange College. Anna Smith, a resident of LaGrange, was picked Miss LaGrange Col- lege.

Millard is a history major and is a member of Gamma Phi Alpha fraternity, of which he is vice- president.

Anna is also a history major and she is a member of Kappa Phi Delta.

Other senior superlatives in- clude Bob Bailey, Owen Green, Harriette Kuhr, Betty Jones, and Sandra Young.

Also selected last week were the most representative freshmen. They are Chuck Nixon from La- Grange and Diegie Parker from Wrightsville, Georgia.

In commenting on his resigna- tion, Shaeffer went on to say: "Now that I have resigned, the one block, the student's vote, is out of the way; and now the Ju- dicial Council can exercise the power they (the members) fought so hard to use. I only hope that now the council members will prove themselves worthy of the position they hold."

Owen Green, president of the Student Government Association, had this to say to The Hilltop News concerning 'Shaeffer's resig-. nation: "Vincent has done a good job in the past defending his cli- ents, arid he should be commend-i.

ed on the fine job that he has done. It is the policy of the coun- cil to restrict the discussion of all council action to the meeting. Ne- cessarily this applies to this situ- ation."

The night before, the council heard a plea of guilty entered on a charge of drinking. The defend- ant was found guilty as charged, and it was recommended that he be excluded from school, but be allowed to re-apply for summer quarter. President Henry upheld the ruling of the council.

Another charge of drinking was entered, but it was dropped be- cause of insufficient "evidence.

The Faculty Athletic Commit- tee on January 11 recommended that LC representatives to a Feb. 3 meeting of conference schools ask that the GIC athletic aid rule be changed to conform' with the regulations of the National Asso- ciation of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), of which all league teams are also members.

If the conference does not adopt the more liberalized policy, the committee suggested that the col- lege, one of the eight charter members of the GIC, withdraw from the group.

The problem of financial aid to athletes came to light last week when the Valdosta Times carried a story that "The GIC has placed LaGrange College on probation and ruled the Panthers out of the 1962-63 basketball race."

Coach Al Mariotti said that no effort was made to hide the fact that LaGrange College, with the unanimous approval of the athle- tic committee, was giving its ath- letes more aid than allowed by the conference. He said, "I volun- tarily revealed to a meeting of

conference schools last October 12th that we had gone beyond the rule limiting the scrolarships to tuition only."

"Later," he continued, "I urged Larry Taylor, Berry College coach and conference president, to clari- fy our status reguarding the pos- sibility of our participating in post-season play. The coaches rul- ed that LaGrange could not re- present the conference in post- season competition, but that our season record would stand."

President Waights G. Henry said that because the college must play over half of its schedule out- side the conference and in order to compete on an equal basis with outside teams giving more aid than conference rules allow, we felt it necessary to give more than the tuition grant.

There are only six schools in the conference, assuring each member of only 10 games per year. Consequently, "LaGrange has had to schedule from 12 to 14 games each season with outside teams," Dr. Henry said.

'Why Do People Fail To Find God?' is Dr. Kay's topic for chapel talk

What's In The News Editorials p2 Features p3 Society News p3 Sports p4

■

"Why Do People Fail to Find God?" was the topic of Dr. Toombs Kay's address in chapel Wedensday, January 23.

He first explained that religion was not adhering to a certain creed, but merely recognizing the presence of a divine being.

Dr. Kay's reasons for man's in- ability to find God are: (1) the search is being made in reverse; (2) man has no room in his heart

to put God first; (3) man has not come to a point of real need; (4) man is unwilling to change his life to live up to the demands of God.

Dr. Kay claims man lives by the "thou shalt not's" rather than us- ing them as guideposts after whi- ch to pattern a Christian life.

He concluded by saying that man's search for God was not so important as God's search for man.

STUDENT POLL Do you think that LaGrange

College students are mature? CHARLES OWEN: Yes . . . be-

cause. JOHN FORRESTER: I'm not

going to answer that! JULIAN WHITTEN: Yes, I

think they're pretty mature. DIANE CHOATE: They're aver-

age — they aren't abnormal. You find students in every school that aren't quite ready for college.

JOE McGHEE: Yes — I don't think they are as childish as some groups in other schools.

BETTY JONES: Some students are . . . then there are others.

BETTY RUTLEDGE: How can we prove it with all our restric- tions?

OUIDA HARMON: Many LC students seem to know just what they are in college for, what they can expect of college and what the college can .expect of them'. In this respect, some fall short of matur- ity.

"LET US ENDEAVOR..." The famed Samuel Johnson once said, "Let us endeavor

to see things as they are, then decide whether we ought to complain."

This statement could be most usefully applied to our school and student body. We seem to be prone to jump to the hastiest conclusions, to make the quickest decisions, and to conclude our efforts with the smallest amount of "good" accomplished than other college student groups.

Why is it that the majority of our students feel the SGA is not meeting our needs? Why is it that so few on our Christian campus support the work of the religious organi- zations? Why is it that students present a "hostile front" to every action of the administration and of the faculty? Could it be that so often we fail to attempt to see things about us as they truly are? We had much rather hold onto our ideas than challenge them with honest, sometimes cruel, reality. We had rather gripe in small groups of student conversa- tion about the new ruling of this or that body than stand with a well-supported rebuttal against the move.

Yes, we do complain. We sometimes almost over-exercise our freedom of speech through these prejudiced complaints. More healthy and beneficial reform, if that is what we shall term our needs, could be accomplished if we analyzed our problems with intelligent, open minds. If we looked at the many views of an issue — if we could disregard our person- al prejudices, then we would have adequate time to "decide whether ... to complain."

Responsibility demands response By Cecile Adams

"Creation is groaning for release from bondage,

History is in constant flux, And human beings are crying out

for love; And you and I are in the midst of

this — A part of all this —

Yet free to accept it And each other — Free to enjoy this lusty,

dynamic, dangerous life as it is given to us.

For the Lord made the world and gave man dominion over it —

And despite our constant misuse of it

He has redeemed and is redeem- ing the world through Jesus Christ.

And this is freedom And the erpectation of respons-

ibility And the promise of integrity

in this our life."

Wesley Stevens

Revolution . . . response — words of meaning and yet almost no meaning, for we have heard them' until we have practically ceased to understand their rele- vancy to our world today.

We know that there has been a crisis in Angola, in Cuba. We are aware of the turmoil in Africa, Red China, East and West Berlin. We have read about and have seen some of the technological changes occurring so fast that ma- ny books written last year are now out of date. The changing roles of men and women, social injustice, the ever-hurrying pace of contemporary life — these too are part of a never-ceasing revo- lution.

We hear; we see — but what Is our response? Are we able to see that we have the awful responsi- bility of "becoming Involved" in revolution; or are we lost In the

mass, unwilling and afraid to do what we must? As Dr. Ethel Al- penfels has said, "We college stu- dents all too often curse the dark- ness." We glibly criticize, but that is as far as our positive re- sponse goes. We then retreat be- hind our masks to continue the search for meaning and security.

In the last fifteen years, 800 million people have gained the right to govern themselves. We can no longer ignore these "ris- ing expectations," for they exert an influence which will ultimate- ly if not immediately affect us individually. How are we to re- spond?

On January 1, 1863, Abraham Lincoln declared all slaves free. The response of one old,' white- haired Negro man was "My God, are we free?" And how 'much more freedom has 100 years elicit- ed?

This brings us to the problem of acceptance, the recognition of a person as he is — Negro, Japa- nese, Russian, liberal, fundamen- talist, communist, democrat. This includes people we have never seen, as well as those who are in immediate proximity to us. But the basis on which we approach an individual is the same, for there is the need for acceptance, the need for love. It gets lonely behind the mask, and the demands of life are sometimes overwhelm- ing.

Someone has said, "Our dilem- ma is to begin ..." Perhaps our dilemma is to begin to accept per- sons as individuals, realizing that there can be an exchange of ideas, cultural, heritage, and problems between two people who were previously unaware of each other.

Our dilemma is also our respon- sibility, and our respinsibility de- mands response in this world in revolution.

WHAT IS SPORTSMANSHIP? by Owen Green

What is sportsmanship? Web- ster's New College Dictionary de- fines it as — the conduct becom- ing a sportsman, involving honest rivalry and graceful acceptance of results. This is exactly the manner in which the basketball team and spectators of- LaGrange College are conducting themselves during the present cage season.

Last Tuesday night the student body exhibited the greatest bit of sportsmanship seen on our cam- pus or any other in recent times.

As two Mercer University play- ers were injured, there was no heckling or hazing, but the stu- dents maintained themselves in a manner fitting any lady or gen- tleman. Of course this was ex- pected from the student body but the finest act of sportsmanship came quite suddenly. Two La- Grange players fouled out, but did the fans harass the referees? No, they rose and gave each of them a standing ovation. This type of action really makes one proud to be an LC student.

Following the game the offi- cials, Arnold Satterfield and Da-

vid Gilreath, were both question- ed as to how the sportsmanship at LC compared with that at other schools. Both officials have re- fereed two games here this year and they both agreed that the ac- tions of our players and fans are well above the average.

Mr. Gilreath stated that he was once a player and could under- stand the fact that a player might resent a call by the official, but he also stated that he had never heard or seen any bad acts of sportsmanship on the part of the LaGrange College team.

He also stated that it was a pleasure to officiate a LaGrange College game whether at home or on the road, because he knew he would never have any trouble from this group.

Now that we have established such a fine reputation, let's keep it. We have quite a few more home games and once again will have an opportunity to show our- selves approved unto others. Whether we win or lose, let's al- ways be proud of ourselves for the way we conduct ourselves.

While we here at LaGrange are wrapped up in campus politics, sports, and gossip, we lose sight

of the fact that there is a world outside and that there are people shaping and mol- ding our futures | while we calmly go to fraternity meetings and at- tempt to study.

Just for a moment, let's take a look outside and see, through my biased eyes, just what is happen- ing.

President Kennedy and his so- called "New Frontier" have made some advances that no one can deny, especially the Cuban crisis, but then, what could he do? Any- way, I was surprised to read this week that Mr. Kennedy and his crew threw a fantastic party in Washington last week to "raise a little money."

Now, this was no ordinary par- ty. It was staged by the Democra- tic National Committee, and the tickets for the supper alone, whi- ch wasn't much better than Cam- pus Chefs, was a cool $1000 a plate. Anyhow, some six hundred suckers turned out and cheerfully forked over the necessary cash and enjoyed, so to speak, their avacado salad and broiled chick- en.

The dinner may not have been much, but the floor show that followed was enough to hold any- body's interest. By the way, those who couldn't hock their wedding rings and mortgage their homes to attend the "feast" were given the opportunity to see the little show in the National Armory for just $100 a ticket.

The entertainment, augmented by the fact that the liquor at the dinner flowed like water, was presented also by the National Committee, with a little assistance from Richard Rogers and the New York City Ballet. The ballet did a part of a little number they were working up called "Stars and Stripes." Appropriate don't you think?

The evening wouldn't have been complete without a word from the President. He climbed up on the stage, stepped over Dean Mar- tin and proceeded to tell the peo- ple how gracious he was for their money. His little recitation, which was probably written by Mort Sahl, kept the audience in stitches until he felt that enough time had been wasted. The entertainment returned, and he left, probably to go find a Bromo Seltzer.

The good of the get-together cannot be overlooked. The Demo- cratic National Committee lifted about three million dollars from willing but politically twisted hands, and formally announced they were gracious to these loyal people for forwarding the cause of freedom.

Yep, three million in cold, hard cash will sure buy a lot of votes in '64.

Two LC radio programs prove to be big success

by Dee Bradley Jerrie Jiles, Johnny Long, a by Dee Bradley The past September two radio

programs, presented by LaGrange College students, were started. These students work hand-in- hand with Mr. Allen Thomas and the News Service to better in- form the citizens of LaGrange, West Georgia, and East Alabama of the activities at LaGrange.

Each Saturday morning at 9:15 A. M., WLAG presents a fifteen- minute program called the La- Grange College News Roundup with Drue Linton as announcer. Drue has had previous experience in this type work, having-worked on the Jesup, Georgia, station. While at LaGrange College, Drue is a relief announcer in Newnan on Sundays.

This program is made up of taped recordings which are about one half news and the other half interviews.

Also on Saturday morning, at 10:30 A. M., on WTRP for thirty minutes, students of the college, such as Lou Gys, Barbara Liv- ingston, Judy Holstun, Jim Bag- gett, Faith Shelnutt, Allen Holmes,

Jerrie Jiles, Johnny Long, and John White, who is employed, at the station, present The LaGrange College Hour. This is more of a variety show featuring music, in- terviews, and campus entertain- ers.

The program has featured such things as co-ed fashions, articles from old Christmas issues from the Scroll, the hit tune of the week on campus, a thirty-minute interview with Dr. Waights G. Henry, and discussions with the program staff on a current topic.

"We are always looking for new and interesting features and people to work on the program," says Mr. Thomas. He also had this to say about the students on the programs. "I am very grateful that these students give their time and effort to write and pro- duce these programs. I feel like they go to a lot of effort with no enumeration and no recognition but do it for their own enjoyment and experience. I also feel that they are doing a distinct service to the college by helping present these programs."

GOURMET HINTS FOR DORM DWELLERS

For those who like to have a "little something" in their rooms to munch on during late hour studying, the staff has compiled a few hints:

1. Salt in a shaker can ba kept moisture-free by adding a few grains of rice.

2. That lovely cake tr batch of cookies that mother sent can best be kept fresh by placing it in a tin container with a lid.

3. Potato chips stay fresher longer when the bag is folded neatly and a clothespin attached to it.

4. Small fruits, such as apples and oranges, stay cool and keep longer during the winter months by placing them in the space be- tween the window and screen.

5. Soups can be heated very well in the instant water warmers used for making coffee.

6. To get that "real" coffee taste, add a dash of salt to each cup.

7. A handy commercial product is popcorn in an aluminum con- tainer, complete with oil and but- ter fat popping.

STONE Rebels, Moccasins hand Panthers 6th & 7th defeats

. . . Sports Editor

LaGrange College basketball reads something like the soap op- eras on T. V. If it isn't one thing, it's another.

First, the loss of three Panthers, two of which were starters, seem- ed to kill all hopes for the confer- ence title. But miracles and de- sire were on our side, and we won four conference games in a row to hold the top spot.

Next, the upset defeat at the hands of West Georgia shook the foundation of the team's confer- ence hopes, but still they held on.

But now the Panthers have been handed the little pink slip that prohibits them from winning the conference because of viola- tion of aid to athletes.

The Panthers base their privi- lege to grant scholarship on N. A. I. A. rules, of which they are members of District 25. However, GIAC rules restrict such aids.

A GIC meeting will be held February 3rd in Rome on whether the conference will abide by GIC or NAIA rulings on scholarships. If the GIC rule is approved by the members, LaGrange has said it will withdraw from the confer- ence.

* * * Life can be beautiful — but not

for a Panther in Carrollton. Last week's one point defeat by West Georgia was one of the most heart-breaking games I've seen in my three years at LC.

After the game the players ga- thered outside in the cold night air to discuss what had caused the upset. Each one blamed himself.

I couldn't help but feel sorrier , for Colby Mosier than the rest. His last second shot might have won the game, but it did not. It was unnecessary to ask him how he felt. It was written all over his face.

We should have sensed what West Georgia was planning but we didn't. For Coach Corder did not go into a rage but once, that time violently shaking the scor- er's table at which I was sitting.

The entire basketball episode at Carrollton has been an interest- ing one. For instance, last year's 75-69 double overtime defeat in Carrollton was the first and only time a Panther team had been beaten in extra periods.

In 1961 LaGrange eked out an overtime victory 98-96 in a game that saw West Georgia make one of the bravest comebacks ever witnesses. And in 1960 LC sneak- ed by 74-70 in another nerve rattler.

After a little simple addition of these past scores you will discover the game tied with 241 points each — Strange, isn't it?

Valdosta State and Florida Southern bounce Cats 60-45, 99-57 respectively

by'Mickey Johnson The Valdosta State Rebels, following in the steps of their

hometown newspaper, the Times, trounced the LaGrange College Panthers 60-45 to give them an undisputed first place berth in the GIC.

Panthers' Tuggle proves to be a little of everything

As Bob Tuggle goes, so goes the Panthers. A starter in every ball game this year and last, Bob's ability to fill in at center makes him the Panther's most valuable asset. After getting off to a very slow start, Bob has climbed up the list to become the fourth leading Panther scorer, with nine points to a game.

His technique of faking back on can be murder on opponents.

THE PANTHERS PLAY CHARLESTON

TONJGHTAT8!

his left foot, forcing the defensive man out of position, and sneaking under the helpless defender on the way down has sent Bob to the free throw line over sixty times this year, more than any other Panther.

Not to belittle his teammates, but the Panthers would not be where they are now if if were not 'or Bob. The offense rotates a- round him, and when he is hot, he

Bob's defensive abilities are as noteworthy as his offensive tal- ents. In the 87-63 win over Val- dosta a few weeks ago, Bob held VSC's Chuck Bonovitch, 6-6 cen- ter, scoreless while Bob racked up 19 points.

In his initial year as a Panther, Bob was the leading scorer, with 12 points a game, while hitting 48% of all field goal attempts.

Bob Ritch of the Rebels was tall man in the saddle for Valdos- ta with 14 points. The Panthers' Bob Tuggle and Larry Howell hit in *he double figures with 12 each.

The Panthers had previously beaten the Rebels on the La- Grange court.

Moving on down the highway Saturday to Lakeland, Florida, the Panthers had another run-in with the Moccasins of Florida Southern College. The Moccasins, sparked by the shooting of Mac Mullis, gave the Panthers a tasty defeat, 99-57. This was the Pan- thers second defeat at the hands of Florida Southern.

The only two Panthers who gained a double figure berth were Hugh Corless with 13 and Jackie Mayo with 11.

LaGRANGE, Ga. — LaGrange College's basketball team, the Panthers, has never finished be- low fourth place in the Georgia Intercollegiate Athletic Confer- ence, which is made up of the state's smaller four-year colleges.

The defeat by Florida South- ern, andi the ill-fated Valdosta game the night before, brought the Panther record to 9-7 overall. The Panthers meet the College of Charleston tonight. Chorleston suffered a defeat at the hands of the Panthers earlier this year.

The joke of the century comes from an anonymous source who has a "Goldwater for President" sticker on his car.

In the first game the Panthers won 61-52 in Charleston. In that game, the Panthers were shocked by a small, aerressive team that held them scoreless for nine minutes in the first half.

Charleston has a pair of guards lacking only in size, who are fast and smooth with their shots. Tom Hoist, a 5-9 sophomore, hit 14 points against LaGrange

Atlanta will be the scene of Thursday night's encounter with Georgia State, also known as the

Panthers. State has had its trou- bles all year, but always plays well in their home town.

Saturday night LC hosts Pied- mont for their second meeting of 'he season. In Demorest, LaGran- ge rolled to an 81-63 victory be- hind the efforts of Hugh Corless and Bob Tuggle.

Piedmont's Lions lack the abil- ity usually associated with the North Georgia team, but with boys like Gary Durrence and Jerry Ar- mour the Lions are a constant threat to GIC foes.

Last week's 87-63 Panther vic- tory makes this the do-or-die game for the Rebels. A Panther win could sew up the conference championship.
