SCA Elections Held Today Former SCA Advisor Advocates Name Change

Today is the day set by the Stu- dent Christian Association for a double ballot vote. The student body will not only vote for the new officers of the organization but also on whether the name SCA should be changed to the YWCA- YMCA.

Several weeks ago a vote was taken at an SCA Association meet- ing on whether to change the name; however, it was decided by the SCA cabinet that another vote should be taken in order that the final decision would represent more students.

A recent visitor to the campus, Miss Kate Howard Cross, was the advisor of the SCA for several years while serving as professor of Latin. It was during the time of her advisory that the organiza- tion became the SCA. For many years it had been called the YWCA but with.the addition of boys to the LaGrange College student body, the name was changed to

the SCA. Miss Cross's objection to the name SCA is that it is not a national or inter-national organiza- tion. Being only a local organiza- tion, the name SCA has no world significance.

When asked her opinion on the approaching name-change vote, Miss Cross stated:

"I would like to see the SCA gc back to the YWCA-YMCA because it has more significance. The YWCA-YMCA, being a nation wide and world wide organization, is recognized any place in the world. The "Y" has a special meaning for people, both college students and adults."

Those students running for SCA officers are as follows: president, Mary George Dean and Emily Mitchell; vice-president, Sylvi? Cowan and Marianne Whelchel; secretary, Jimmy Harris, Bill Griffin and Jere Mitchell; and treasurer, Gloria Neil and Susan Sheppard.

Chorus Makes Successful Invasion Of Florida

BY SYLVIA COWAN The LaGrange Choralaires arose

bright and early at 4:30 a. m. on Sunday, March 13, with visions of Miami dancing in their sleepy heads. After a hot breakfast was served the sleep-eyed singers by Mrs. Gordon Cook, they boarded a school bus for Franklin, Geor- gia. In Franklin they boarded a chartered Trailways bus which transported them for the remaind- er of the trip.

Everywhere they went, the Choralaires were immediately recognized, if not because of their fame, because of the ten foot signs on each side of the bus which proudly announced them as LaGrange College Choralaires from LaGrange, Georgia.

The Choralaires' first perform- ance was in the First Methodist Church in Albany, Georgia. They were rewarded by a delicious meal prepared by the ladies of the church. The Choralaires were fed quite well by the churches and schools where they sang—too well according to one chorus member who complained that she had

ained 8 pounds on the trip. From Albany the chorus went

to Ocilla First Methodist Church and gave a performance at 3 p. m After refreshments, they travelled to Tifton where they sang at the First Methodist Church at 7:30 Sunday night.

Fitzgerald High School and Thomasville High School were hosts to the Choralaires on Mon- day. Soloists, the double male quartet, the single male quartet, and the women's sextet sang in the high school programs.

Monday night the Choralaires

made their first appearance on "foreign" soil as they sang in Gainesville, Florida, in the Wesley Community Church.

The rainy weather did not pre- vent the college group from sight- seeing Tuesday. They visited Silver Springs and Bok Tower.

Arriving in Lake Alfred, Florida, in a rain storm, the Choralaires were fed by the First Methodist Church and presented a program of both sacred and secular music in the Lake Alfred Youth Center.

Wednesday, March 16, the chor- us sang in Winter Haven High School. After a long day of riding, the Choralaires arrived in sunny

thetMiami. After another delicious meal, they gave a concert in the Floral Park Methodist Church, where Rev. Clarence W. Whitley, Jr. is pastor.

Thursday morning marked a happy but painfully unforgetable experience for the members of the Choralaires. They spent most of the day basking in the sun, building sand castles on the beach, and swimming in the ocean. The "bright and shining" faces of the Choralaires Thursday night re- flected an abundance of Florida sunsine.

The beachcombers returned to the city to Tamiami Temple Methodist Church for the Thurs- day night performance.

Sunburned singers rose early Friday morning to leave south Florida at 6 o'clock.' They traveled to Sebring and performed in the Sebring High School at eleven o'clock Friday.

Then the bus made its way north through dust storms to Leesburg, Florida.

Clark Tells Of Famed 'Salesman'

Today, March 31, the Student Christian Association feaures The Death of a Salesman in chapel and vespers. This play, a broad- way success by Arthur Miller, was selected as the "Book of the Quar- ter" by a committee of students. Copies of the book have been on sale in the little store, and the stu- dents have been requested to read it in preparation for today's ses- sions.

The speaker for the morning and evening sessions is the Rev. Sam Clark of Brookfield, Georgia. He is well known as a youth speaker. He did undergraduate work in English at Emory University, graduate work in English at Princeton University, and received his Bachelor of Divinity Degree from Union Theological Seminary. He will speak on the Christian Significance of Death of a Sales- man.

The Student Christian Associa- tion plans to select a "Book of the Quarter" each quarter to be recommended to the students and studied in some way.

burg First Methodist Church Friday night.

After singing in eight churches and four schools, the Choralaires made the return journey to La- Grange Saturday, March 19. They stopped by Cypress Gardens on the way back to take in the sights.

The college group was received with gracious southern hospitality at each of their stops. The mem- bers of the churches in which the chorus sang opened their homes to the students and furnished them food, transportation, and lodging.

A program of sacred music was sung in the churches. The high school performances included both sacred and secular music. Mr. Walter Westafer, when asked to comment on the tour, quoted the chairman of the music committee of the First Methodist Church in Leesburg, who. commenting favor- ably on the Choralaires' perform- ance there, said, "Last year we were hosts to the Florida Southern College Glee Club, and I must say that the Choralaires certainly put them to shame." Mr. Westafer declined any further comment for publication.

Mrs. Margaret Talbott accom- panied the group on the trip. She was gracious representative of the college. She was also a well-liked chaperone for the group, and she kept them supplied with chewing gum and good spirits.

Some of the most memorable things about the tour for the chorus members included wonder- ful audiences, the enjoyment of singing for others, the bouncy rides on the back seat of the bus over Georgia roads, the homes and people, the scent of orange blossoms, the hot Miami sun, the rest stops, blue dresses, and the doors in Lake Alfred, Florida.

After Elections ~By^*fcNiGB/~'fOWNLEY

The major officers have been elected for the 1960-'61 Student Council. SCA elections are sched- uled for today. Officials for the athletic associations, publications, and classes will be voted on in the near future. This is a vital time of year on campus and a time in which every vote counts. But we do not intend to harp on the tired argument that everyone should vote in these elections. Our major concern here is what will happen after the shouting is over.

Some students get the idea that these major organizations are out to do nothing but harm. The Student Government, according to some individuals, is out to "get" anyone it can. In the eyes of the dub- ious, the SCA is a broken-down instrument of piety which will persecute the non-church-goer with a weapon of hands-off snobbery. Some see the Scroll and the Hill-Top News only with the suspicion that they might be used for the personal glory of a few. These are not true pictures of the situation, but per- haps they are indications.

The fact which stands out penetratingly is that after these "leaders" are elected, indifference sets in as far as all too many students are concerned. The "we elected them, now let them do it" attitude settles over the campus. Infractions of Student Government rules, set up to make things more pleasant for all, go unnoticed and unreported. Vespers is limited in in effectiveness because only a small band for loyal students will attend. Editorials go unread and opin- ions, pro or con, go unexpressed.

If we are to reap the benefits of the abilities that will be brought to these offices by those elected, we must pitch in and support the officials and the organizations they head. In that way these groups can work effectively toward the goal of making our campus a better place to live, study, and play. No one will be able to match the NEW LaGrange College spirit, if ...

A Growth Of Shadows GUEST EDITORIAL

By CAROLYN BABB "When small men begin to cast long shadows, it is a sure sign that the sun is setting."

And many very small students are casting black shadows across our campus today . . . Students who continually break rules just because a Student Coun- cil member has his back turned . . . students who have the idea that the sole concern of the Student Council is to rule rather than serve them . . . stu- dents more interested in making an easy grade by cheating than a harder, honest grade by studying for themselves . . . students who try to turn others against the Student Council, and yet don't have the sense of responsibility to report the things they know are going on that are giving our school a bad repu- tation.

There cannot be an effective Student Govern- ment on any campus until the student body is ready to stand behind their representatives on the Student Council and help the council keep order and discipline among students. The Student Government officers were not elected to be a police force; their purpose is to help the students discipline themselves.

Long shadows like these will continue to grow until the whole campus is darkened unless the re- sponsible, mature majority of students, who uphold rules and respect their Student Council, wake up to their responsibility. By standing behind their Student Government and by taking action themselves in see- ing that rules are enforced, they can make sure that LaGrange College will not lose its statue as a school with students of honesty, integrity, and Christian character.

Confetti By All Means (April Fool!)

The sunburned, weary Choral - aires got a head start on this quarter when they arrived home from tour on the 19th, back from the sun into the frostbite. The re- mainder of the "huT'-folk trailed in on Sunday and Monday morn- ing, bracing themselves for the ordeal of the registration line. To the delight of all, spring sprang, and with registration the fate of all was sprung—night classes, af- ternoon classes, 8 a. m. classes, closed out classes, hard classes, easy classes, classes in general/

Charlie Jones, Bryan Dobbs, and Don Tatman found themselves in an education class with 33 fe- males. Dr. Epps was delighted to find that her Creative Writing class numbered thirteen ("That's good luck, isn't it?"). Sylvia Co- wan, in turn, got very excited about Dr. Epps' attendance re- cord: "She never was not in one of my classes."

Barbara Bates proved to be the girl with a mind of her own dur- ing the annual fight to sign up for rooms in Pitts for the next year. In collaboration with Marion Free- man and Suzanne Cooper, she de- cided that the only sinsible thing to do in order to provide enough room for all the girls concerned is to swap Pitts and Smith off for Turner. Got a fight on our hands, boys!

Student Government elections came off with a little politics on the side. "Anastasia" Russianized and materialized. The grassy plots on the quadrangle became a fre- quently used short-cut to the lib- rary as the lazy atmosphere of spring set into the ancient and honorable hill. A little fun on the side, perhaps, but the prospect of more of the same delight the LC'ers as they greeted the on- coming spring.

Dr. Kovar introduced himself and Boone did the same. The much-amired teacher started on his way when a sudden thought crossed his mind. He retraced his steps, tapped Dan'l Boone's des- cendant lightly on the shoulder, and innocently inquired. "Are you the Boone who sings?"

Moviegoer Jim Dutton gives a concise review of many-Oscared "Ben Hur": "It makes 'Gone With the Wind' seem like the pre- views."

In the reception line after the February production of "The Di- ary of Anne Frank" here on the campus, Dr. Jennie Lee Epps con- fided to Charlie Jones, who had played convincingly the greedy, hungry Van Daan, "Well, Mr. Jones, I certainly hope they fix you a sandwich soon!"

Peggy Price, selling books from behind the Little Store counter, gets a pretty grim outlook on life sometimes. "I know I'm the most popular person on campus the first part of the quarter," she says. "Everybody glares at me with dollar signs in their eyes."

Flood Lights THE DIARY of ANNE FRANK

Reviewed by Prof. Kovar Judged and executed by men

the hero dies. But does it mat- ter? Being man himself he will continue to sing into our hearts the melody of hope and trans- cedence.

A theatergoer who limits his artistic ambition to filling the lei- sure hours with some social arti- ficiality or deteriorated comedy will be disappointed to face the living presence of the man's world.

We can understand the drama of Anne Frank only if we rise above the customary dilema which imprisons the drama and the spectator and sets them socially apart and if we re-establish the harmony and communion between the stage and the world of reality. The art of the theater will not suffer if we revive the great mis- sion of the thea;p" of the nre- ceeding centuries as introduced by Comeille, Moliere, Hugo, Musset and the great German and Spanish theater of the lG'.h and 19th cen- tury, that is — to educate, to search for the inner social moti- vation of men and not be afraid to denounce man for his man for his excesses and his weaknesses.

The emotional power of the whole play is unsurpassed in the history of human suffering and can be matched only by Dante's imagination of the eternal suf- fering where existence transcends time and history in subterranean disappearance, and reality turns into a vision of shapeless continu- ity of infernal pain.

It has been said that the en- tire cast has been well chosen and revealed as a team the "Eu- ropean drama of twenty years ago" to the audience. Margie Mc- Donald in the role of Anne had color and dynamic as her hall- marks and filled the stage with an expressive sensitivity. We have to acknowledge with the same ap- preciation the performances of Mr. Frank (Lloyd Bryant), Mrs. Frank (Pat McGuire) and Mar- got (Beti Lowery) who in their suffering displayed inspiration and sympathy and so redeemed the dying humanity in the German Uebermensch from the "Self-Tor- mentor's" line: I am a man, I regard nothing human as alien to myself.

CHIT CHAT

The following article, which we reprint here without permission but with the hope of making some parenthetical corrections, comes to us from a recent issue of the Georgia State College (Atlanta) newspaper the Signal. It is signed by Monty Montgomery and is en- titled, "Kappa Sig Loses Horn at LaGrange on Friday."

"But the wind was cold and biting and the LaGrangers re- treated to the warm lobby. (Aban- don hope, all who enter here!).

"After a supposed search of the building, the dorm daddy (Mr, Gordon Cook) returned to say he couldn't find the hom. (Mr. Mont- gomery forgets to mention that both coach Joe Copeland and the

LaGrange Police combed the dorm for the horn).

"Panther coach Stoney Burgess walked up and persuaded the Kappa Sigs to leave. (Friend-y Persuasion?).

"After leaving the town Riggs said they would get the hom back." (poor thing!)

"A number of Kappa Sigma actives (some of whom had active alcohol on their breaths) barely avoided a fist encounter with La- Grange College's male student population (a fraction of it) last Friday night, after losing a hand- horn (poor things!).

"The fraternity chartered a special bus (wealthy, aren't they?) to LaGrange to see the Georgia State-LaGrange basketball game (a worthy ambition).

"Carrying musical instruments of sorts, the actives and their dates, including members of the Signal staff (make way for the press, boys), cheered the Pan- thers (they're the Panthers, too —very confusing) to a close de- feat.

"Shortly after the game, when most of the visitors (who had been neither respectful nor graci- ous guests) had boarded the bus, three LaGrange students jumped on unspecting Charles Davis and seized his hand-horn. (Poor Char- lie. He was the one with the big mouth, wasn't he?).

"After signaling for help ("Help, murder—Oh, I am slain!"), Davis and three other actives followed the growing number of LaGrange students (growing by ones and| nones) toward the main campus (quadrangle, if you please).

"Cornering a segment of the re- treating (?—a better word might be "leading") students in a re- freshment room similar to our Re- fectory (when at LaGrange, call it the Little Store), the four Kappa Sigs looked for the horn and any threatening movement (who's call- ing who "war-mongers?") from the fifteen-or-so (we think youVi find that it's spelled "s-e-v-e-n") LaGrangers in the room.

"Finding nothing of either, the four left and walked toward the bus (intruders in the dust).

"Harold Riggs, president of the chapter, met them coming and said impatiently, 'Let's go. Every- body's on the bus waiting for y'all." (In other words, "y'all come; we're goin' ").

" 'Like they've got our horn Tiny and we ain't leaving 'till we get it back," said I, one of the four.

" 'Who's (can't you spell?) horn?

" 'Davis.' " 'They got your horn, Charlie?' " 'Yeah, they got it. Three of

'em jumped me coming out of the gym and ran up the hill.'

" 'Riggs then said he had seen a group of boys carrying some- thing in (into) a nearby dormi- tory (Turner).

"•'Suppose we go get it,' said I (Our hero!)

The activities in the bus signal- ed and in a few minutes everyone approached the dorm in question.

"A figure . . . wearing a police- man's uniform (let us introduce Mr. Overcash) stopped the boys from entering the dorm.

"Thereupon he was asked to find the horn.

"Several LaGrange students were on the porch facing the Kappa Sigs who were on the steps. At the drop of dime, they would have been at each others' treats.

Panther Paws Mary George Dean By Jimmy Trice

. As prospects are being looked for and thoughts for the 1960-61 basketball season are being born "a solid defensive team is the thing to work on" seems to be the foremost thought of Panther coach Joe Copeland.

Official 1959-60 conference stand- ings show LaGrange finishing 3rd with a 9-5 season record. Ogle- thorpe took first place with a 14-0 standing and Piedmont took sec- ond with 10 wins and 4 losses.

L. C. won 14 and lost 12 for an overall second place record. The Panthers were also the number 1 offensive team in the conference with an average of 71.5 points per game.

Individually, Wallace Brown was second in the conference in scor- ing averaging 18.4 points per game. Wayne Copeland took 4th place with a 17.6 point average and Jerry Carden ranked number 9 with 14.2 points per game.

Four of the five additional play- ers have already been chosen for next year's team. From LaGrange High Mickey Cheek and Ronnie White, both 6'3", have already made their plans to make La- Grange their college choice. Two boys from Edison, Georgia have also made their plans to come to 'the hill. The boys are Wayne Jones 61" and Edward Plowden 6'2". Jones wes selected the most outstanding player in the Class

Takes Firm By Janice Townley

"They tell you as you grow up that you'll get disillusioned about things. Well, brothers, I have been today."

These were the words spoken by Mary George Dean at the Sib- ley School Commission hearing in Douglas, Georgia, on March 14. Mary George attended the session with her father merely because she was interested in hearing the opinions of the townpeople. She had not planned on giving her own viewpoint; however, there seemed to be a majority of people in favor of closing the public schools.

The climax came when a man from the Ku Klux Klan stated that if the-schools did not close, the KKK's would do it by force. Mary George was prompted to action. "C" state tournament, of which Edison won the championship.

The fifth boy will be chosen from players participating in a Saturday workout.

With some good prospects al- ready in the bag and with the fine players we already have we should be in for an exciting season next year. Let's not settle for next to best next year, let's go all the way!

"The first think I knew I was going down the aisle to the stage," she said. She had not been pre- viously signed to testify before the commission, but Mr. Sibley al- lowed her to do so.

Before a capacity audience Mary George said, "It has almost broken my heart to see people who act like they care about de- mocracy so willing to throw public education out the window. You say that you want segregation at any cost. Well, it may be at great cost—the cost of losing the prin- ciples that our country was found- ed upon such as public education.

"You may be far removed from school, but I am close enough to realize how I and other young people would be disappointed of we couldn't finish our education."

Mary George concluded by say- ing, "Well, you really fooled me about one thing. I thought you really meant all that democracy stuff. I hope I never hear some of these people who have testified today talk about young people go- ing to the dogs and that they have no ideals because frankly, we don't have any to observe."

After these words Mary George was besieged by reporters. She has been cited in numerous news-

The Late Show The Hilltop News has suffered a

great loss with the resignation of its associate editor, Janet Suther- lin. The Newspaper Advisory Board accepted her letter of resig- nation, prompted by an unusually heavy load in her courses and music practice, "with regret."

Janet has been valuable to the operations of this publication. Her energy in getting things done, her ideas, and her determination have contributed greatly. Her layout work has been excellent, making the paper both more readable and more enjoyable. She will be miss- ed, indeed.

Thanks for everything, Janet.

Practice teaching has taken its toll with the resignation of Jane Nixon as circulation manager. Now that she has become a tea- cher, at least part-time, Jane's time will also be limited. The staff will miss Jane's efficiency in putting up the papers on publi- cation day and in sending out ex- change copies. Her work on the "Campus Poll," done with humor and steadiness, will likewise be missed.

Good luck with practice teach- ing, Jane, and thanks.
