NEW OFFICERS TOMORROW Wednesday the new officers of the Student Govern-

ment Association will take office.

They are going to have a tough job ahead of them. Governing the student activity on a college campus is no easy job. It will be especially difficult for the new crop of officers to shine because the past student government has made such substantial strides forward.

Already at work on the difficult problem of coordinat- ing the Honors Day program, Lowery Tillison, Ted Hitch- cock, Jane Johnson, Judy Carlson, and Buck Thomas have shown their willingness to take the responsibilities of the job.

The new SGA members should be complimented on their eagerness of assuming their duties and encouraged to continue their enthusiasm.

PUBLICATION JOBS Jobs of the three campus publications are still open.

Due to a postponed meeting of the publications com- mittee the deadline for application has been extended un- til Wednesday.

The experience of working on a college publication is unique. It offers students an opportunity to put into prac- tice theoretical knowledge which is taught in the class- room every day.

The editors of the Quadrange, the Scroll, and The Hill- top News have concurred in urging all interested students to apply for the jobs available.

Ruby Trial Tests Principle Of Democracy By MICKEY JOHNSON

"We find the defendant guilty of murder with malice and fix the penalty at death." Thus spoke the twelve jurors at the dramatic climax of the trial of the State of Texas vs. Jack Ruby.

Immediately protest arose against the "barbaric act" of condemning the man who supposedly avenged the death of President Kennedy. Sever- al letters to leading magazines put the blame on everyone possible except the man, who according to the jury, was

[guilty of murder.

Ruby's defense attorney, Melvin Belli, said that justice would suffer a relapse if Jack Ruby was sentenced to death. In other words, justice would suffer if a man found guilty of murder was not allowed to go free.

Several elements enter into the argument for and against Jack Ruby. For one, Lee Harvey Oswald died an innocent man. He was never

convicted of the murder of President Kennedy. Of course, the Warren Commission investigat- ing the assassination supposedly proved beyond doubt that Oswald did in fact kill Kennedy, but the fact remains that Oswald did not face judgment on his supposed crime.

If, as the defense in the Ruby trial contend- ed, Jack Ruby was insane when he killed Os- wald, then the night club owner was not aware of his actions. But the evidence was presented to a jury in Dallas, both sides presented argu- ments and witnesses, and Jack Ruby was found guilty of murder and sentenced to. death. This was all done according to the legal system that has survived through the ages — that of trial by jury.

If the United States begins to condone cold- blooded, pre-meditated murder, then it is we who will suffer by Jack Ruby going free. It matters not who Lee Oswald was or what he had done — he was murdered and his mur- derer was brought to trial and found guilty. This is the normal course of justice. To aban- don this is to abandon a basic principle of American democracy.

Where Can We Sunbathe? That's The Question By GINGER CRAWFORD

The sun was shining and I was through with classes for the day. The natural thing to do— take a sunbath, of course. I checked my handy

student handbook under Sun Bathing and read: "The only place where girls may sun- bathe is behind Pitts Hall." I thought that sounded all right, and started gathering together my bathing suit, beach towel, suntan lotion, sun glasses, beach coat, desk of cards, transister radio, and

a couple of Sprites. A proctor heard all the commotion and in-

formed me that the dean of women had said that there was nowhere on campus that women would be able to sunbathe. Naturally, I was

completely overcome with shock, horror, and visions of forever-white skin.

Another distraught ex-sunbather suggested that we walk over to Callaway Pool. Upon in- vestigation we discovered that it does not open to the public until the first of May. (By that time I'm usually losing my suntan.)

The fact remains that there are few red- blooded LC girls that do not crave a suntan and would not go through all the agonies of cold March winds and sunburn to get one — if there were only an allotted place.

• Why could we not use the roofs of the build- ings? The gymnasium is the only building on campus with a flat roof over any section. It has edges built up about a foot, and would therefore insure privacy as well as safety. Also, it is only one story high. I'd sunbathe at my own risk. How about it, sunworshippers?

No Scroll Spring The Scroll will not publish an

edition for spring quarter. Arlin Wallace, editor of the campus literary magazine, in making the announcement, cited as the rea- son a lack of material.

Wallace said a new arrange- ment probably will have to be worked out next year so that more material will be made available to the Scroll.

CAMPUS DRAMA

Thompson In Spring Drama By JANET TAYLOR

The dates of April 23 and 24 are important to LaGrange Col- lege because they shall see the culmination • of a dream of the Drama Department at LaGrange College. On these two evenings— Thursday and Friday — the Dra- ma Department will present an unpublished play, "Thompson", written by Dr. Joseph Baldwin, director of the University of Ne- braska Theatre. This play will be the final presentation in the Fine Arts Festival which begins on April 17.

Miss Sylvia Strickland, direc-

TILLISON (Continued from Page 1)

dean of men and the dean of wo- men.

"With the utilization of the ex- isting potential," Tillison said, "I think progress can be made."

According to Tillison, the first meeting of the new SGA legisla- ture will be held soon after the induction of the newly elected officers on Wednesday. He said he will ask the class presidents to hold regular meetings of their groups after the legislative coun- cil meetings. The reason, Tillison said, is to inform interested stu- dents about actions of the legis- lature. Tillison expressed the hope that this move would in- crease interest in the workings of the SGA.

Tillison pointed to work on the Honors Day program as an area for work in the immediate future. The program will be under the joint direction of the outgoing and incoming SGA executive councils.

Another project for immediate consideration, according to Tilli- son, is the annual revision of the Student Handbook. The new SGA president said, "There will be a number of changes to be made in the rules section, including a plan to establish rules ior student elections campaigning."

tor of "Thompson", said that the Drama Department had wanted for some time to produce an un- published play. The play "Thomp- son" had especially appealed to Miss Strickland because of her former association with this play. In 1955, when "Thompson" was presented for the first and only time at the University of Alaba- ma, Miss Strickland had played a leading feminine role.

When Dr. Baldwin was con- tacted about the possibility of LaGrange's presenting one of his plays, he gladly agreed to allow this. He will be present for both performances. He plans to arrive on Sunday, April 19, and remain through the Friday night per- formance.

CONSTANT REVISION According to Miss Strickland,

one of the challenges of present- ing an unpublished play is adapt- ing the author's constant revision of the play to the rehearsal. Shortly before the spring holi- days Dr. Baldwin sent twenty- five pages which he had just re- vised. Later he sent two pages which were revisions of the for- mer revision. Miss Strickland who finds this one of the excit- ing phases of directing this play, finds it necessary to keep a con- stant check on the mail for she never knows when there will be another revision.

There are many factors which make the play worth presenting. Although it is basically an ordi- nary play, there are several things which make the presenta-

Alumni Telethon Rings In April

Five LaGrange College alumni clubs will stage a telethon the first week in April. Mrs. Caro- lyn Burgess, director of alumni activities, said plans are for tele- thons in five Georgia cities to raise the LC "Living Endow- ment" supporters.

tion of it unusual. Like "J. B.", the play requires the use of the house as well as the stage. Also, the play, unlike many plays, takes place in about fifteen dif- ferent localities. The set, howev- er, is neutral and can be used as the background for many scenes.

THE MAIN THING The main thing, however, is

that esthetically, the play is very beautiful. Dr. Baldwin, a poet, enjoys words and has used them very effectively in his play. "Thompson", concerned with the conflicts of a young man, has much truth to reveal to its au- dience.

Starring in the title role is Ar- lin Wallace, a senior at LaGrange and a drama major. Others in the cast are as follows: Chip Forten- berry, Ann Gifford, Judy Hays, Billy Hearnburg, Robin Hood, Bill Ingram, Jean Jackson, Mic- key Johnson, Sidney Johnston, Jack Jones, Phil Kendall, Jimmy Matthews, Nancy Jane Osborne, Terry Peterson, Connie Robinson, Nancy Stypeck.

MARTIN (Continued from Page 1)

but a group of students elected from, the student body who are performing a vital service on the campus." Martin pointed out the difference in the administrative problems of running the college and the student activities within the school. The SGA, said Martin, should be involved with govern- ing student activities. The depart- ing president cited examples of activities he considered student functions: such events as Home- coming, Stunt Night, Honors Day, and Step Singing.

Martin said that he thought the amendment recently passed by the legislative council which removes from office any legisla- tor who misses, without excuse, two executive council meetings, was good. "But," he added, "you can't, force interest upon the council members. What this a- mendment will do is weed out those interested members and make room for new and more vi- vacious legislators. The best way to promote interest," said the executive, "is to assign them im- portant jobs and recognize those individuals who do their jobs well."

Martin encouraged students to participate imor.e fully in the ac- tivity of the Student Government Association either by running for SGA office or observing more closely the activity of the repre- sentatives from their class.

The West Georgians finished 8-HI in last season's play, but are coming into competition this year lacking the services of four experienced hands from last year's title team.

Even so, the Braves are bound to be worthy opponents against the budding tennis team "on the hill".

The Panthers finished in a tie for third place in last year's play with a 4-4 conference county, and had a 4-8 overall record.

Coach Judson Harris' tentative line-up has Chuck Nixon in the number one spot, Hollowed by Jimmy Matthews, Jimmy New, Jim Baggett, Billy Joe Hyatt, Johnny Pike, and Sammy Stuart.

Four Lettermen Return Four in this line-up have at

least one letter in tennis. Chuck lettered last year while holding down the front position. Jimmy Matthews lettered also last year, and has come up from the fifth and sixth positions to the num- ber two man.

Jimmy New has two earned letters to his credit and is cur- rently holding down the number three position, followed by Jim Baggett, who earned a letter year-before-last.

These experienced racketmen are backed by three boys playing for the first time on the team, with Billy Joe in the number five place, Johnny Pike number six, and Sammy as the seventh man.

Doubtful Doubles The teams for doubles play are

even a bigger question mark than the singles, with the "play and

LC Drops Tennis Opener To North Georgia s Cadets, 7-2

LaGrange College dropped its opening game of the new tennis season against North Georgia College last week in Dahlonega 7-2. The match was a non-con- ference affair.

North Georgia's Cadets always sport a power house on the courts and the only Panthers to pene- trate the Cadet line-up for wins were Chuck Nixon and Billy Joe Hyatt.

Nixon blasted the number one Cadet 6-2 and 6-0 to give La- Grange an early advantage. How- ever, the Panthers could not cap- ture another win until Hyatt took wins of 7-5, 6-8, and 6-1 over the number five man on the North Georgia roster.

The Panthers could not win another set after this, with the doubles team being set down in order.

Coach Praises Team Coach Harris had particular

praise for his two winning net- ters. "Chuck played two fine games and Billy Joe did a good job, especially considering it was his first college match."

Coach Harris went on to say that the team as a whole showed a good deal of potential and came close to winning several of the losing matches.

"The line-ups in both the singles and doubles may change some against West Georgia Fri- day", Harris added. A shuffle may be necessary to strengthen the team.
