Council Changes Made In Student Body Vote

The L. C. student body, voting in chapel on March 8, changed four articles in the Student Gov- ernment Constitution but failed to vote in a fifth one.

The defeated move was that "The President of the Council must have served on some college Student Council previously." Be- cause of the defeat of this pro- posed amendment, the previous rule which requires the candidate t0 have served on the LaGrange Student Council previously will remain in effect.

The student body vote passed the following proposals:

1. The Student Government- Council shall consist of the fol- lowing officers: President, 4 Vice - Presidents, a Secretary- Treasurer, three representatives from each class who must be one boy dorm student and one girl dorm student and one town stu- dent.

"3. The President and Secre- tary-Treasurer shall be elected b» the student body in a general

election. The night of the general election each retiring House Pre- sident will call a meeting of the girls or boys who will be living in the respective dorms the next year. The Men's Vice-president will hold his meeting of all the men students who will be living in the dorm next year. After nom- inations have been made from the floor, the House President will bring up for a vote the boys from the ones nominated who meet the qualifications. All incoming senior and junior girl dorm students will meet with the Senior House Presi- dent and will follow the same method . . . but will elect a sen- ior House President as w?U as a House President for the freshman dorm The incoming sophomore girls will meet and elect a House President for the sophomore dorm

SCA Meet Set For June

Dr. Margaret Cubine, advisor to •the SCA, has announced prelimin- ary plans for the Southern Region- al Conference of Campus YMCAs, YWCAs, and SCAs. The confer- ence will be held on the campus of Berea (Ky.) College on June 7-11.

The platform speaker for the conference will be Dr. John C. Bennett, who was featured in a recent NEWSWEEK article.

The cost of attending the conf- erence will be $37.50, which in- cludes room, board, and registra- tion fee for those who register on or before May 15.

Dr. Cubine noted that "students who have attended the summer conference in the past few years have described it as personally rewarding and stimulating. I too have found it exceedingly worth- while."

"It is important for the strength of our campus SCA that we be represented by able stu- dents willing to assume campus leadership," she said.

Students interested in attend- ing the conference should see Mary George Dean or Dr. Cubine. Further information will be forth- coming.

Marianne Whelchel and Sylvia Cowan attended the I960 confer- ence.

Fall Tuition Cost Raised

It will cost $50.00 more per quarter to attend LaGrange Coll- ege next year, students and par- ents were notified this week end after the "cost of living" increase was made by the executive com- mittee of the Board of Trustees.

The increases raise total char- ges per quarter from $350 to $400 and include room, board, tuition and general fees. Charges per academic year (of nine months) will go from $1050 to $1,200 and now parallel or are still behind most of the other non-tax sup- ported colleges in the state, ac- cording to Business Manager Aus- tin Cook.

In announcing the increased charges, President Waights Henry said that 'in order to maintain the high quality of instruction and the high quality of other ser- vices that the college furnishes, the students themselves must share the cost of their education."

Even with the increased costs of attending LaGrange, students will still only pay two-thirds the cost ol providing each student with an education, Dr. Henry said. The difference is derived from income on endowment, from The Methodist Church, and from gifts by foundations, corporations, individual friends of the college and alumni.

Along with the Georgia Board of Regents, which has announced a hike in tuition next fall effect- ing every college in the university system, Agnes Scott, Emory Uni- versity and Wesleyan have upped costs, effective next September.

New changes per quarter at La- Grange (with academic year costs in parentheses) will be: Room, $60.00 ($180.00); Board, $165 ($495); Tuition and Fees, $175 $525.)

STUDENT MEET SET

A student body meeting to take the place of the regular chapel program has been scheduled for this Thursday at 10 a. m., in Dobbs Auditorium.

A feature of the meeting is to be floor nominations for Student Government Association officers or next year.

Student government elections will be next Saturday.

THE HILLTOP NEWS - Tuesday, March 21, 1961 PAGE 3

c'est printemps! IT'S SPRING, they say.

And with the arrival of that blessed season on campus there comes another series of events which is seldom thought of in a serious enough light. This is the election of leaders for our campus organizations.

We have not set out here to rehash some old sermons to the effect that such positions should not be filled on a popu- larity basis, or some such. This is true, but some other aspects of election time concern us at this time.

First of all, some of our campus organizations have been existing on a "living death" basis, doing nothing but meeting and sometimes not even that, for some time now. We urge members of each organization to re-evaluate their interest, the possibilities inherent in the nature of the organization, and whether or not the organization should continue to exist on the basis of fulfilling a campus need.

A second item worthy of comment is the raising of stand- ards for holding office on the part of several groups. Also, the retiring Student Council made one of its wisest moves recently when it is reapportioned representation on the governing body.

The last thing we have to say before we topple off our soap box is that the seriousness of these elections should be kept in mind by everyone who votes. The persons chosen to head our campus organizations will be those who will play a large part in making or breaking campus spirit during trie next year.

Think!

Then vote!

a Challenge for today Guest Editorial by Joel Dent

TODAY WE ARE facing the greatest of the challenges that the world has ever known. Politically, the world is wrap-

ped in indecision; scientifically, man has the power to destroy or to preserve; religiously, an uncertain sound is being sent forth. In short, chaos and confusion rule the world.

What is involved in our meeting the needs of the world? First comes a call, which in some sense is given to all people. "Where there is no vision the people perish." Then comes the preparation.

Education, although not the paramount solution to the world's problems, is important, for it strives for the better- ment of society through the betterment of the individual. This

involves not merely the learning of facts, but also of how to live to the fullest extent possible.

Education teaches us to enjoy the worthwhile things of life and to gain a working knowledge of human behavfour. It gives us an insight into the methods of solving human prob- lems and the learning of methods of communication.

Are most students serious about their education and their lives today? Under the American plan everyone is at least ex- posed to learning.But there is a feeling that many fail to be- come educated. Why?

We all realize that proper education should guide our de- velopment in all phases of life—the social, mental, spiritual, and physical. Does all this come simply through exposure? Not entirely, for most students realize that serious application and concentration are necessary.

Getting the best education possible takes putting the whole heart into the matter. When the entire concentration of all man's forces—physical, emotional, and spiritual, is brought to bear, consolidation of these powers properly employed is quite irresistible.

Abraham Lincoln, although of very humble beginning, and confronted by many natural obstacles, rose to the highest possible position in our land because of his great heart, his determination, his understanding, his concern for people, his deep character, and his sincere desire to meet the needs of his time.

It is well, therefore, that men apply their every energy toward the acquisition of knowledge, the development of their natural gifts, and the study of man's needs. Then they can ac- cept the challenge extended to them, strive for the high and the noble, and win victories in this hour for this generation.

Round Three! And they're off again! The spring quarter is now un-

derway and everybody is just ov- erjoyed at the idea of being back at school after all the fun had in different parts of the country.

The spring quarter is known the world over for low grades because of the beauties of nat- ure that bloom forth during this time, as if the winter q u arter wasn't a feroci- ous time for grades, etc.

Now take the intellectual at- mosphere of this campus, that is if you can find it. With the new grip on grades that have arrived of recent, Vhe student doesn't seem to be able to cope with the radical change of policy. Mind you, this is a good policy, only not enough warning was given. Since this is a school that runs on the grading scale of A, B, C, D, and that lovable F. It would

be nice to know what the stand- ards are for receiving these grades- Of course, this is holler- ing after the cows are gone, but it might be nice to know exactly what is required.

With the spring quarter full of activities other than academic, it is going to toe a very hard quar- ter for the student. But, we must smile and bear it in this place full of ordinary people—plus.

* * » ON AVOIDING VAIN HOPE AND CONCEIT—

Whoever puts his confidence in men or in any creature is very foolish. Do not be ashamed to be the servant of others for love of Jesus Christ, and to appear poor in his world. Do not trust in yourself, but put your whole con- fidence in God. Do what you are able, and God will bless your good intention. Do not trust in your own knowledge, nor in the cleverness of any man living, but rather in the grace of God, who aids the 'humble, and humbles the proud.

Do not boast of your possess- ions, if you have any, nor of the influence of your friends; but glory in God, who gives all things and desires above all things to give you Himself. Do not be vain about your beauty or strength of body, which a little sickness can mar or disfigure. Take no pleas- ure in your own ability and clev- erness, lest you offend God, who has Himself bestowed on you all your natural gifts.

Do not esteem yourself better than others lest you appear worse in the eyes of God, who alone knows the heart of man. Do not be proud of your good deeds, for God does not judge as men; and what delights men often displeas- es God. If you have any good qualities, remember that others have more; and so remain humble. It does you no harm when you esteem all others better than yourself, but it does you great harm when you esteem yourself above others. True peace dwells only in the heart of the humble: but the heart of the proud is ever full of pride and jealousy.

wrecks, the plane crashes, and the increase of juvenile crime, wha1. do women spend their time wor- rying about. Fashion. "Is this hem short enough?" "Oh, no, I couldn't wear those shoes; they're last year's style." "What? Wear a sack dress? Darling, it's not a costume party."

Mrs. Jacobs is invited to a tea. Mrs. Jacobs is just an average house wife who spends most of her time with her family and seldom attends such affairs. She is looking forward to being really herself for a while, the glorious freedom of not being under the pressure of a watchful mother- in-law's eye or the sometimes too good hearing and uneradicable memory of Junior. She welcomes the opportunity to relax with friends of her own age and sex.

As this is such an important event in her life, Mrs. Jacobs starts several days in advance, making mental plans for the oc- casion. After she searches through her wardrobe, she finds, to her complete dismay, that she has absolutely nothing to wear. Lam- enting this fact to her husband causes several well-intended but ill-accepted suggestions. If one should judge by our little woman's reactions, hubby might have well suggested that she wear Junior's Mad Man Space outfit.

"Not that dress, George. That's a sack dress. I wouldn't be caught in that dress this year."

"But that was your favorite dress last year. In fact, didn't you have about five dresses made that way—you know, kind of straight down—last year? Wear one of them."

"I gave them to the Salvation Army when they picked up your suit."

"My suit! What suit?" "The brown tweed." "My brown tweed suit ... to

the Salvation Army? Margaret, that suit was perfectly good. It was my favorite suit. It was com- fortable."

"Now, George, those tweeds are not worn now, and you have a business reputation to uphold and those army people don't care much how they look, just so they keep warm and ..."

"But . . . but . . . yes, dear. How about that blue dress?"

"Heaven, no! Madaline Sharp has one just like it except for the waist and the neckline, and the sleeves Her's is yellow print."

"The lavender dress, maybe?" "Oh, no, dear! It's ruined. I

tried letting the hem out half an inch, but I can't fix it after I cut it off last year to take the hem up."

Finally in desperation, George gives our heroine some money to buy a new dress, which she ac- cepts only after a lengthy argu- ment which serves only to ease her conscience slightly.

Of course, Mrs. Jacobs chooses a dress which doesn't match any hat she has. A trip to the hat store results in the store's loss and Mrs. Jacobs' gain of one "feathered friend" in the latest head style. Mrs. Jacobs feels al- most guilty about wearing the hat, because she is very fond of birds, but she consoles herself by remembering that she wasn't the one who suggested using the bird in such a manner.

Finally our heroine is ready to

Keyboard Recital Is Next Monday

Prof. Walter Westafer, uead of the Fine Arts Department, has an- nounced that March 27 will feat- ure ten pianists and one organist in a recital to begin at 8:15 p. m., in Dobbs Auditorium. The pro- gram has been selected with care- ful consideration for beauty and taste, according to Prof Westafer.

Other music will be played by Betty Jane Evans, Judy Sams, Brenda Weldon, Betty Hatchett, and Libby Coleman, a junior ma- joring in music.

For Betty Jane Evans, Brenda Weldon, Betty Hatchell, George Culliver, and Eddie Morrison, this will be their first public appear- ance at LaGrange College as pian- ists. George Culliver appeared as a vocalist last quarter

Driving home after the tea, her bare feet molded in a point much similar to the pointed toes of the shoes on the floorboard.

PANTHER PAWS ...

Seventh - Inning Stretch By Jimmy Trice

Senior Appreciation Night was observed at the final basketball game of this season. Jerry Carden, L a rry Boswell, and Buddy Gri- mes are the three Panthers who fall under this title.

It's interesting to note during these years that these three men have scored a combined total of 1988 points and have a combined average of 10.4. Jerry Carden led the way by throwing 844 points through the hoops and averaging 13.0 points per game. Larry Boswell tossed 628 points in showing a 9.7 game average. Buddy Grimes racked up a total of 516 points which means he averaged 8-6 points in every game.

With these three men on the L. C. squad the Panthers won 35 games and lost 30, which is about a .857 record.

Thanks to these three and to all the Panthers for some mighty good basketball which we know was produced because of the love for the game.

Word has been received from the National Collegiate Athletic Bureau that the LaGrange Coll- ege Panthers have ranked num- ber 19 in the nation in free-throw percentage. The L. C. team has averaged .718:

The Panthers ended up with a season record of 5 wins and 13 losses. About a .277 or .278 per- centage.

I'm sure if you were at the last game of the season you were tru- ly embarrassed as we, the student body of LaGrange College, stood to sing the Alma Mater- There wasn't even a big enough repre- sentation there to sing it all the way through. Perhaps if we had had a "TRUE" representation of LaGrange College (that is, what we are capable of doing) there would have been no need for em- barrassment.

I think that we need to pledge ourselves to back our school and to back our team. It's not nearly as easy to gripe about so many losses in a season if you're there with the team and feel that you are really doing all you can to support that which we gripe about.

New Courses A number of new and reinsta-

ted courses are found in the sche- dule for spring quarter, involving the humanities and social science departments.

Russian history will be taught by Prof. Osmos Lanier, while Eu- rope Since 1914 will be offered by Dr. W. L. Murray. In "addition, Modern Europe: 1815-1914 a third history course, is being offered after being absent from the sche- dules for some time. It will be taught by Dr. Murray.

Miss Ann Clark will teach new courses in Spanish grammar (308) and advanced phonetics (309).

Dr. J. L. Kovar is teaching a new course in twentieth-century philosophy, emphasizing American and British philosophers.

NAB To Discuss NEWS Salaries

Two recent meetings of the Newspaper Advisory Board have been devoted to the discussion of the possibility of setting up sala- ries for the HILLTOP NEWS editor and business manager.

Remodeled Store Keopens March 4

Satui^uy, March 4, the Little Store re-opened under the super- vision of Johnston and Malone Bookstore of Auburn, Alabama.

Mr. Austin P. Cook, Jr., college Business Manager, informed the HILLTOP NEWS in the issue of December 13, that final arrange- ments for the leasing of the store were made on December 5, after consultation by college officials. The entire operation will be under the supervision of Mr. George Johnston and Mr. Harvey John- ston and the college will have no connection with the Little Store whatsoever.

Mr. Cook noted that under this new arrangement many advanta- ges can be cited, such as a wider assortment of school supplies, bet- ter service for both teachers and students, and cheaper textbooks.

Other plans, according to Mr. George Johnston, include the sell- ing of used textbooks as well as new ones. The store will buy from the students books which they wish to sell at the end of a quar- ter.

However, contrary to the state- ment made in the December 5 is- sue of the HILLTOP NEWS, plans do not as of now include the serving of milkshakes and snacks. The milk and soft drink machines will still be in opera- tion.

NATIONAL CHURCH PUBLICATIONS FEATURE LAGRANGE COLLEGE

The Chinese jade cross now on display in the lobby of the Will- iam N. Banks Library is featured in a full-page color picture and story in the April issue of To- gether, the national family maga- zine of The Methodist Church.

The cross was given to the college in memory of Miss Virginia Atkinson, the first missionary from LaGrange College, who went to China in the 1870's to teach in Methodist missions schools.

The story is written toy Atlanta free lance writer Mrs. Jeannette Moore, who heard about the cross at a meeting of the Woman's Society of Christian Service. The color photograph was taken by LaGrange cameraman Lee Stiet- enroth.

Another national Methodist publication. World Outlook, pic- tures a 1960 graduate in a picture story about the Miami, Fla., Com- munity Center.

Faye Buck, now on a two-year term of social work with the Methodist Church is working with the center's program of relief for the Cuban refugees.

Next Saturday, March 25, will be a full-class day, according to the Dean's Office. Regular Tues- day classes are scheduled.

before the student body for vote ' after considerable study and de- bate on the part of the present Student Council. Primary motives in this move were the equalizing of representation and the reduct- ion of the size of the council for more effective work.

The amendments will take ef- fect with election of council of- ficers at the end of this week.
