J.R. Griggs Will Teach

Local investment banker James R. Griggs has been ap- pointed to the LaGrange Col- lege faculty for the winter quar- ter as acting assistant profes- sor of business administration.

The appointment, effective Jan. 3, was announced by Dr. C. Lee Harwell, academic dean.

According to J3r^ Harwell, Griggs will teach in the place of Dr. Charles W. Allen, pro- fessor of business administra- tion, who is on temporary leave-of-absence from the fac- ulty due to a recent illness.

The new LC professor is a native of Marietta but has spent most of his business career in LaGrange. He was educated at the Georgia Institute of Techno- logy where he earned a bache^ lor of science in commerce de- gree. His major study was in banking, finance and real es- tate.

"The college is quite fortun- ate," Dr. Harwell, "in being able to secure in the absence of Dr. Allen the services of a person of Mr. Griggs' back ground, training, and long ex- perience in the field of business finance and security trans- actions."

Dr. Harwell said that Dr. Allen is expected to return to his teaching position at the col- lege in the spring quarter.

'Royal Gambit'Opens Here Friday Night

BY TRIP McCORD The Speech and Drama De-

partment's New Year's gift to theatre goers is an exciting historical play, "Royal Gam- bit," by German writer Her- man Gressieker.

An added attraction to the usual season of three plays, "Royal Gambit" will be pre- sented Friday and Saturday, January 14 and 15, at 8:30 p.m.

The play will go on tour to South Georgia College, Douglas, Georgia, the following Monday, January 17 and to Sandy Springs High School. Possible further touring plans are as yet unan- nounced.

"Royal Gambit concerns the life and romances of Henry VII of England. Filled with both humor and pathos, as well as amazing insight, it shows Henry Tudor as a fascinating histori- cal character. Not to be slighted are his six wives, each a dif- ferent personality affecting Henry, and therefore the world, in a different manner.

Gressieker's play trans- cends history in its theme of anti-existentialism. Indeed the characters areaware of the trends of modern times and their implications for the future.

Notice Beginning this quarter all

assembly absences will be dealt with by the academic dean.

The faculty absence commit- tee headed this quarter by Dr. Murial Williams, will continue to have jurisdiction over class absences-

All requests for exemption from assembly should be di- rected to Academic Dean C. Lee Harwell.

The cast for "Gambit" were rehearsing the three weeks prior to the Christmas holidays and have now begun polishing their performances for the up- coming production.

One member of the cast, Nancy Osborne, dropped out be- cause of illness. Her role has been taken by Rosemary Neely.

Ken Chapman, a post- graduate student this ouarter. is playing the role of Henry. Ken "is taking an overload to complete a second major, speech and drama.

The other members of the cast are Katzi Kurtz, Carolyn Mitchell, Judy Fraser, Mary Anna Daniels, and Susan Butler.

Panhellenic Offers New Trophy

Beginning this quarter, the Panhellenic Council will offer a trophy to the fraternity out- standing in sportsmanship, council chairman Nick Flaskay announced last week.

Flaskay said that "this is to encourage more sportsman- like conduct and less dissen- sion at intramural games."

The council will judge each fraternity and their respec- tive audiences on the basis of sportsmanship "and sports- manship alone," Flaskay said.

"Sportsmanship," the chair- man continued, "is a large term, and includes a lot of things, all of which are cer- tainly known to everyone.

The trophy will be awarded at the end of each season of a major sport.

Give Blood One Way Or Another

"Since we are fortunate enough to have been able to stay clear of the bloodspilling Viet Nam war, the least we can do to help out is to spill a little of our blood to help those boys who spill a lot of theirs," Panhellenic chairman Nick Flaskay said last week in sup- port of the Red Cross Bloodmo- bile campaign.

The bloodmobile will be set up in the gym today from 10

Dr. McCain To Speak Wednesday Dr. Charles McCain, pastor

He has held pastorates at Eastlawn Presbyterian Church, Canton, Miss., prior to his LaGrange post.

From Decatur, Dr. McCain is married and has a son and two daughters.

a.m. to 4 p.m. Traditional Greek competi-

tion will be judged by the Pan- hellenic Council on a percent- age basis. The organization with the highest percentage of volun- teers is awarded the SGA trophy on display in the cafe- teria.

Pi Delta Kappa fraternity has won the trophy the past two years.

John Love, Dean of Students has promised a steak dinner to the presidents of the frater- nity and sorority with the highest volunteer percentage.

Draft Rules Are Tightening For College Men

Selective Service systems are tightening their rules, mak- ing more strict requirements for male college students.

To retain student defer rment, men must be registered for a full load, which is fifteen hours at LaGrange College. This re- gulation applies through the en- tire quarter. If a male student drops a course after register- ing, decreasing his hour-load to less than fifteen, the Selective. Service Board is notified.

Mrs. JuanitaOvercash, Asso- ciate Registrar, is required to report male students on proba- tion as of this quarter, and again at the end of the quarter.

Another Year? A favorite heroine of man fiction readers is the

wild and beautiful Scarlett O'Hara. The fiery lass endured many hardships in her

war-torn life, but somehow overcame them all wC'th the panacea, "Tomorrow is another day."

The prevailing life-view of many individuals 5s just this. The twisted maxim "Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow" guides an alarming number of lives in this world, including the lives of many college students.

An English paper is due, and Joe College says to his roommate, "I'll finish it later. Let's go get a beer."

History suddenly isn't exciting anymore and Joe says "I've only cut three times so far- I'll go to- morrow and take good notes."

Sunday church bells ring him out of a deep comfortable sleep and he mumbles, "I'll go next week."

Listen, Joe, you only live once and next week might not get here. Especially in a fast-paced world like ours, when the push of one little button could turn everybody off — permanently.

It has been said that a day's waste is as bad as a life'Cme's.

How many lifetimes have you wast' '? How many more will you have?

What Is The Paper's Role?

(ACP) ..The role of the stu- dent newspaper is not just to be a public relations oranch for the university, says the "North - ern Star,"Northern Illinois University, DeKalb.

One of the purposes of a pub- lic relations bureau is to em- phasize the positive aspects of the University. NIU already has such a bureau..It distributes news releases throughout the state with University endorse- ment. This is fine.

The Star, on the other hand, has often been critical of the administration. To some, who think student newspapers sould say only good things about the University, this is negative and wrong.

To this we can only say that everything in the world is not viewed through rose- colored glasses. Editors of the nation's collegiate newspapers were re- cently criticized for their fail- ure to reflect reality. We must face reality sometime - why not at the college level?

The function of the Star is to inform, comment, educate, and entertain. Whether the news is good or bad, we report it. The University acts as a training ground for journalists. But this is not the primary purpose for a newspaper at Northern either.

Our primary purpose is to act as a means of communication for more than 15,000 people who run around this campus every day.

Not Good Enough Letters TO THE EDITOR

Last week the Hilltop News' Editorial stressed campus litter. It seems to me that if everybody DID believe that "every litter bit hurts," the entrance to our school would not be in as bad shape as it is. I am not referring to trash, however. I am referring to the broken pavement, the rocks, and the holes in the drive com- ing up the hill. This deteriora- tion not only hurts car tires, but it hurts the school's image. Have you thought what a visitor would think seeing this torn up pavement as his first glimpse of LaGrange's campus? Can't this drive be fixed a "litter bit" better?

Winn Henderson

EDITOR'S NOTE: Since this letter was writ-

ten, the holes in the driveway have been filled with cement. This lessens the wear on tires' but does not improve the ap- pearance of the campus' main entrance.

Farther up the drive, the pave- ment is smooth and free of holes and cracks. The entire campus road system should look like that.

'Royal Gambit'

Continued from page 1 Under the direction of Miss

Marilyn McKay, "Royal Gam- bit" promises to be a play pleasing to both eye and ear.

Jay Clark heads the set crew. Painting the play with light and color is the lighting crew head- ed by Noble Shropshire. Greg Lee is in charge of sound.

All of the costumes were de- signed and made by the costume crew under Marilyn Clements. Margaret Lunsford is the head of the publicity committee. Trip McCord is the assistant direc- tor and stage manager.

The title "RoyalGambit" has interesting implications. In the game of chess, a gambit is a move in which a player gives up one of his men in order to gain a more important position on the chessboard.

History tells us that there was indeed much power play in the reign and romances of Henry VIII, whom Charles Dick- ens called "a most intolerable ruffian and a blot of blood and grease on the history of Eng- land."

Students interested in Stu-I I dent Aid jobs should come to I Ithe Admissions Office and fill| lout an application.

Smith Print

Show Opens BY JOHN OLD

Ben Smith, an Atlanta print- maker, opened his exhibit in Hawkes Gallery, which was do- minated by his excellent prints, Sunday.

Among the most outstanding was his woodblock print, "Ma- dona". The print was done with separate blocks, three of which were color shapes overlapping to form many variations of shapes within shapes and color. Over these was a block made up of line.,The forcefulness and concentration of structural bone matter give this work as well as many of his others a powerful boldness and weight. This qual- ity is seen in his interpretation of "Solomon," with his sus- pitious and wandering eyes.His work, "Cassandra", and oil sketch, is executed in much the same manner.

It seems no matter how long vou look at this, the largest piece, you can never escape the strength of her hands. Many in- tertwining lines and shapes transmit an impression of ten- dons- and legiments revealed by the absence of flesh.

Another technique of his is a block print consisting of solid black shapes and line forms, creating a most untnno composi- tion entitled., "The Four Horse- men".

Shorter To Be Tough

Tonight is THE BIG ONE] Tonight's LaGrange - Shorter battle at Rome could very well decide the chances for the Panthers to take a Georgia In- tercollegiate Conference championship this season.

The home-standing Hawks are not only the league's de- fending champion but currently are • ranked the num- ber three team on defense by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. Coach Bill Foster's Baptist<6fc gers, with an amazing 12-1 won- loss season mark, have held op- ponents to 56.8pointspergame.

Coach Al Mariotti's Panthers will be seeking their ninth vic- tory of the season against four setbacks. Led byHugh Corless' 18.1 shooting average nd Joe Phillips' 15.7 rebounding aver- age, the LC quintet is hitting almost 75 points per game while holding opponents to less than 65.

After Win

Over Lions BY BILL ENGLAND

DEMOREST, Ga.--The La- Grange College Panthers rolled over Piedmont College here Sat- urday night, 98-40, in prepara- tion for Tuesday night's big Georgia Intercollegiate Confer- ence battle with Shorter College In Rome. i LaGrange, paced by Joe Phillips, 6'4" junior center, had six men in double figures. Phillips completely dominated the game and the backboards as he totaled 25 points for the evening.

Wayne Copeland's single game rebounding record of 26, set against Berry College in 1958, was shattered by Phillips as he pulled down an amazing to- tal of 29 rebounds for the game.

Hugh Corless and Ronnie My- ers had 15 points a piece, Mike $aihey had 11, and Tom Duckett afod Steve Fry had }0 each as LaGrange jumped off to a 44-20 halftime lead and then came on stronger in the second half to bomb In 54 points.

The victory over Piedmont left LaGrange 2-0 in G.I.A.C.; play and 8-4 overall.

LaGrange will face its big- gest challenge of the year Tues- day night when the Panthers tra- vel to Rome to face highly favor- ed Shorter College.

Shorter, 12.1, and defending champ of the G.I.A.C., is the

number three ranked team in defense in the N.A.I.A. (nation- al small colleges). The Hawks are allowing their opponents only an average of 58 points a game.

This game will be a personal challenge to Panther coach Al Mariotti, now in his fourth year as head coach. In seven games with Shorter, Mariotti's men have won only once, that was the first time Mariotti played the Hawks. But after the open- ing 66-58 victory at LaGrange, Mariotti has lost seven straight to coach Bill Foster's boys.

Shorter is paced by senior Earle Driggers with a 20.0 polnt..peR>tgame -scoring aver- age.Driggers Is number two in scoring in the conference.

LaGrange will attempt to counter with Hugh Corless who is hitting at an 18.1 per game clip. Ronnie Myers will add support with a 15.8 average.

OUTLOOK By Noel Brown § LaGrange Daily News

News Sports Editor

Rise To Power There was a time when you thought of LaGrange College

only as a place where students went to read the scriptures and study the fine arts.

But things have changed on The Hill, as students often re- fer to the campus.

LaGrange College stUl is a Methodist institution where students go to study.

The change involves the building of the once deficient athletic program into a respected Georgia Intercollegiate Conference power.

RESPONSIBLE Chiefly responsible for the rise to athletic prominence is

head basketball coach Al Mariotti. Mariotti went to the Hill 1962 after 17 successful seasons

at LaGrange High SchooL Last year Mariotti's cagers finished with a 15-11 overall

record and a third place finish (5-5) in GIC competition.

In his four years at the coUege, Mariotti has compiled a 40-32 overall record (prior to the current 8-4).

Coach Mariotti's first major problem was to recruit top quality basketball players. And the boys have to meet high requirements of scholarship and Christian service of La- Grange College.

GOOD SUCCESS Mariotti has enjoyed good success in this department. Take

Hugh Corless for example. Hugh lives in North Charleston, South Carolina, and he had

to come a long way to attend school in LaGrange. But Hugh talked his younger brother David (by two seconds)

into making the trip to Georgia with him and the Corless twins have not only confused LaGrange College friends but foes alike (the Corless brothers are Identical twins).

Hugh Corless is the kind of fellow most coaches like to have around. He is highly respected on the campus.

Hugh thinks records are made to be broken and he set a goal of breaking whatever record he could find on The Hill.

Included in these records are: most career points; most career field goals; most career free throws attempted and made; and highest career scoring average.

But one man does not make a basketball team. Coach Mariotti has Ronnie Myers, a guard; Joe Phillips,

a center; Glenn Lord, a guard; Tom Duckett, a forward and Steve Fry, a guard.

Every activity must have mature leadership and the college basketball team depends on Ronnie Myers.

Myers is the oldest man on the team at 24. Alan Thomas, sports information director at the coUege,

says Myers is the oldest, smallest and most dangerous man on the floor

Myers is the kind of boy who can take the ball, bring it down court, fire up the offense and get the ball through the net.

GOING GOOD Things have been going good for Coach Mariotti this season.

The Panthers are off to the best start of Mariotti's career on The Hill, winning eight and dropping only four.

But the college basketball team faces a major crisis Tuesday night. The Panthers travel to Rome to meet the shorter Hawkes.

LaGrange has defeated shorter only once in three years

and a victory is necessary this season to be considered a GIC power in the future.

Shorter and Valdosta State have dominated the conference for the last three years. LaGrange must knock off these two teams at least once this year to prevent the GIC race from becoming a permanent Shorter - Valdosta battle.

The current seniors have defeated Shorter once and own only one win over Valdosta State. Both wins come in 1962.

EXCITING, COLORFUL The Panthers are an exciting colorful outfit. Local basket-

ball fans would see top flight action at any of the remaining home games. The Panthers entertain Howard, Berry, Shorter, Valdosta State and West Georgia.

The gym is easy to find on the campus. It sits half-way up The Hill.

JOE PHILLIPS, LC'S TOP RE BOUNDER , GOES HIGH FOR A JUMP BALL IN LAST WEDNESDAY'S GAME WITH GA. STATE. LC WON THE GAME BY A LARGE MARGIN.

Joe Phillips is one of the top centers in the state. Al Mariotti, Panther head mentor called Phillips "the best big man on offense and defense."

Look for the Panthers to finish the year with a 20-9 overall record, first place in the Augusta Invitational Tour- nament, second place in the Huntingdon Tournament, an 8 -2 GIAC record and second place in that conference.

The conference should endup like this: L Shorter 2. LaGrange 3. Valdosta State 4. Berry 5. West Georgia 6. Piedmont
