Westafer leaves LC to continue graduate studies

by Mickey Johnson

Mr. Walter Westaf er, professor of music at LaGrange College, has been granted a release from the college faculty. Westafer stated that his • reason for seeking the release was so that he might con- tinue his graduate study.

Westafer has taught piano and organ at LC since 1954. He tcok over the college choral group in "54, gave them the name "Choral- aires," and directed the group un- til his replacement in the summer of1962.

A concert musician in his own right, Mr. Westafer is presently serving a two-year term as the president of the Southern D'vis- ion of the Music Teachers Nation- al Association.

In requesting release from his •-.ontract, Mr. Westafer sail. "I have been contemplating gradu- ate study and certain opportuni- ties have developed at this time to make it particularly advantag- eous for me to begin this study immediately."

Mr. Westafer's family will re- main in LaGrange until June. Mrs. Westafer teaches English and French at LaGrange High Schoo1.

Westafer was educated at Syra- cuse University and holds the Master's degree. froni the Cincin- nati Conservatory of Music. ;Be- fpre coming to LaGrange. College

he was director of music at Tallu- lah Falls School and Piedmont College.

Mr. Westafer said, "I am grate- ful for all that the college and community have meant to me and my family in the past eight years and a half."

College President Waights Hen- ry said he "granted the release reluctantly." .

Dr. Ricba.M .\' T . mpson has ceen named visiting associate pro- fessor of modern languages at LaGrange College to replace Dr. Honoria Sapelo Treanor who has been granted medical leave for the winter quarter.

The appointment was announc- ed by Dr. C. Lee Harwell, college dean. Dr. Thompson has several degrees, including the doctorate from Technische University in Berlin, Germany. Although as a Unguist he speaks several lang- uages, including Spanish, French, German, and Italian, his primary subjects at LaGrange College will be French and German.

Dr. Treanor is now at her home in Athens and hopes to return to LaGrange for the spring quarter. Dr. Thompson's present appoint- ment is for both the. winter and spring quarters.

The new language professor's

teaching experience includes ser- ving as head of the French de- partment at West Chester (Pa.) State Teachers College, and- head of the modern languages depart- ment at Tennessee Wesleyan Col- lege. He retired from the United States Air Force with a commis- sion as lieutenant colonel.

"Rainmaker" cast for winter quarter Casting has been completed for

the laughable but warmly human Broadway comedy, "The Rain- maker" by N. Richard Nash, whi- ch will be the winter stage pre- sentation by the LaGrange Col- lege Speech and Drama Depart- ment.

To be presented on the Dobbs Auditorium stage on Friday and Saturday evenings, Feb. 8 and 9, the three-act romantic comedy will be directed by Miss Sylvia Strickland, assistant professor of speech and drama.

Set at a time of a paralyzing drought in the West, the play con- cerns a father and two brothers who are as worried about Lizzie, their daughter and sister,, becom- ing an old maid as they are about their parched ranges and dying cattle.

throughout the country. Thirteen years ago Harry Lee

Neal, a country boy from a Ten- nessee mountain family, and Al- lison Nelson, a delicate blond mu- sical prodigy from Australia (sent to this country under the patron- age of Australia's Governor- General, Lord Gower), met as fellow-students of piano at Phil- adelphia's famed Curtis Institute of Music.

After marrying on New Year's Day of 1949, they set out to solve the personal and professional problems stemming from two sep- arate musical careers by joining forces to become the famous hus- band and wife two-piano team.

. Along with the concerts came the little Neals: John Murray, 8; Mary Catherine, 6; and Allison Elise, 4.

The entire family and the par- ents' two pianos travel from en- gagement to engagement in a specially equipped bus, custom designed for their needs by Neal.

To the drivers behind the Neals on trans-continental highways, a legend boldly painted across the back, of their bus tells the story, invoking a gay camaraderie of the road. It reads "You're behind Nelson and Neal. Wave as you pass!"

The "Wave as you pass" slogan has become so popular that it was chosen as the title for Harry Neal's autobiography.

But suddenly out of newhere appears a picturesque Character with a millifluous tongue and the most grandiose notions a man could imagine. He is a rainmak- er, and he promises to bring rain, for $100.

The cast will include Sam Sax- on of Gainesville, Fla., as H. C. Curry, the rancher and father; Mike Davis of LaGrange and Billy Hearnburg of LaGrange as Noah and Jim Curry, the broth- ers; and Robin Hood of Tallahas- see, Fla., as Lizzie, the sister.

Hethcox honored LaGrange College Art Profes-

sor Jarrell Hethcox was named January "artist of the month" by Artists Associates in Atlanta and a representative group of his drawings was featured at the group's gallery, opening with a reception Sunday afternoon.

Hethcox's work in the exhibi- tion was done last year while he was a graduate student at the University of Paris, studying on a Fulbright scholarship.

An assistant professor of art at LaGrange College since 1958, Hethcox studied in France with Marcel Brion, a well-known Eu- ropean art critic and author on books on art trends. He is a graduate of LaGrange College where he studied with Mrs. Reunette Everett Vaughn. He has also done graduate study in art at the University of Georgia with Lamar Dodd.

Hethcox's drawings in the At- lanta exhibition will be included in a larger exhibition of his works scheduled for the local college galleries in February.

"THORN IN THE FLESH"

In any advanced civilization there always seems to be something that hinders progress. In the Federal Govern- ment it is the constant bickering among parties. At La- Grange College the ever-present thorn-in-the-flesh is regis- tration.

It took many students as much as two hours to stand in line to receive class cards and pay their money. The advance registration procedures last December found many waiting for hours to schedule the necessary courses. For LaGrange to have made so much progress in other fields it is a shame that we cannot leave our barbaric registration procedures behind and devise a method that would be easier on stu- dents as well as administration.

There are several ways that both procedures could be improved. For advanced registration, why not register al- phabetically according to last name? Of course, the order could be changed every quarter. For the first day of each quarter why not have several lines instead of one? Or why couldn't certain times to report be assigned to people alpha- betically, according to last names?

While the December registration was ah improvement over previous times, improvements still can be made. Let us continue to move forward, and, in the future, maybe regis- tration will be an easy, painless process, with everyone sat- isfied.

ANOTHER NEW YEAR

Men have always placed their faiths and support in doc- trines and in causes. It is through these channels that life has proven worthy of its rewarding challenges.

As we now face another new year, the causes for which we, as individuals, stand will be tried and tested by life it- self. The process of living will substitute for each of us new ideas and new concepts that will conflict with individual and preconceived ideas.

To be the "Modern" and the "Collegiate" for 1963 we should learn to accept ideas and theses with discrimination, to use wise discretion in our choices on all matters.

Let us use this first month of 1963 to examine our goals and purposes for life. Let us make ourselves ready for ab- sorbing the vast quantity of knowledge that will be offered us this new year.

May your standards be of such quality that they will grow to accommodate the new life of this year of oppor- tunity.

The Hilltop News takes this opportunity to thank each student, the faculty, and the administrative staff for their support given during the fall quarter in our attempt to place this publication on a weekly basis.

With your continued support, The Hilltop News will continue its weekly publication throughout the winter quarter and will strive to serve the campus more efficiently.

And There Were Money-Changers There were "money-changers" in the temple of LC on the

day of winter quarter registration. They occupied only a small portion of the sacred place

of the SCA prophets so there was little comment made or notice taken of their presence.

No one resorted to overturning tables to drive them out The business of the day proved too fruitful to disturb the in- flux of lucre that goes to fill the coffers of this institution. As a matter of fact, people were standing in lines and wait- ing for hours to give of their gifts and receive from these "money-changers" the blessing of that treasured receipt be- fore attending classes.

Although an improvement over past years, the 1963 win- ter quarter method of registration is still lacking in many respects. As long as alterations are made each quarter to try to satisfactorily settle schedules and financial matters, would it not be possible to relocate one phase of that long, involv- ed process. Please, move the "money-changers" from our temple.

WHAT IS AN AMERICAN ANYWAY? He yells for the government to balance the budget and

then takes the last dime he has to make a down payment on a car. He whips the enemy and then gives 'em the shirt off his back. He yells for speed laws that stop fast driving and then won't drive a car unless it will go 100 miles per hour.

An American gets scared to death if we vote a million dollars for education, but he's unconcerned when he finds out we are spending three billion dollars a year for cigar- ettes. He knows the line-up of every baseball team in the American and National leagues — and doesn't know half the words in "The Star Spangled Banner." He'll spend half a day looking for vitamin pills to make him live longer; then drives 90 miles an hour on slick pavement to make up for the time lost. He ties up his dog, but lets his sixteen-year- old son run wild.

An American will work hard on a farm so he can move into town where he can make more money so he can move back to the farm.

When an American is in his office he talks about business, baseball, football, or fishing, but when he is out at the games or on the lake he talks business. He is the only fellow in the world who will pay 50 cents to park his car while he eats a 25-cent sandwich. He is never ready for war, but he has ne- ver lost one.

We're the country that has more food to eat than any other country in the world, and more diets to keep us from eating it. We're the most ambitious people on earth, and we run from morning to night trying to keep our earning power up with our yearning power. We're supposed to be the most civilized Christian nation on earth, but still we can't deliver payrolls without an armored car. In America we have more experts on marriage than any other country in the world— and more divorces.

But we're still pretty nice folks. Calling a person "a real American" is the best compliment we can pay him. Most of the world is itching for what we have, but they'll never have it until they start scratching for it the way we did.

ON CAMPUS

with Lou Gys

What does the Judicial Council stand for anyhow? Or should I say — stand up for? The Judicial Council is set up to deal justly with the problems that arise on our campus. The students recog- nize a need for a body to handle infraction of the rules firmly, but they also recognize a need to handle these infractions justly.

There seem to be only two choices of penalties that can be given by the council — either re- striction or expulsion. I recognize a definite need for a much larger choice of penalties from which the council may choose. For ex- ample, if a student breaks a re- striction or has accumulated three or more restrictions in one quar- ter, he is either placed back oa a lengthy restriction or else he is expelled. Is expulsion fair in such cases? Not likely! What then, may I ask, has this accomplished? Are there not other alternatives?

Would it be feasible for a com- mittee composed of the President of the college, the Dean of Wo- men, the Dean of Men, and the Executive Council of the SGA to meet and try to suggest other pen- alties besides those of restriction and expulsion. When a student is brought before this council he knows he will either be faced wi- th a penalty of restriction or ex- pulsion. These are the only two choices. By the way, it is evident that the latter of the penalties is getting priority!

It is up to you, the students, to think about, this problem. You must also, along with the council, think of a possible solution, for someday you too may be before them.

Our college offers to each per- son the same opportunities for scholastic and social advancement, but many refuse to take advan- tage of such opportunity. These persons are too busy trying to find the "easiest way" to their diploma.

For those among us who seek fame and adventure, investigate the possibility of the Peace Corps.

For the f.rst time in the history of 'ole' LC, the students and fa- culty finally have a place for "two or more" to gather and commun- icate. The new student center on the ground floor of Smith is. in the opinion of most, the finest ad- dition made to the college in a long time.

All sorts of recreations go on in the center, all the way from ping pong to discussion of the world situation. Bridge seems, at the moment, to hold the attention of most as a means of sitting for hours at the time. Games go on from eight in the morning til eleven at night when Mr. Pope closes the doors to the center.

For some, the center gives an opportunity to talk informally

with the faculty members, not ne- cessarily on subject work, but on mv subject that comes to mind.

Last, but certainly not least, thsre is food to be had in abund- ance at the center. The distribu- tors of vending machines call this place a paradise, for there are no less than eight machines to tempt the palates of many a "late night" snacker.

The students and faculty can well voice a hearty "thank you" far the new center and wish for it a long enduring life.

There will be a program oh Peace Corps Day, January 16, here at the college. Other infor- mation, will be available at a later date.

Cage team loses three

A sport's obituary: Three mem- bers of the LaGrange College bas- ketball team became academic casualties during the holidays and have been dropped from the ros- ter. The three include Jon Gold- man, Roy Awbrey, and Larry Bush.

Jon leaves the team as leading scorer (16.6), leading rebounder (11.9), and best field goal per- centage (58.8). Losing Jon also means a loss of a vigorous spirit that was so badly needed on this Panther team. Many times it was only Jon who could lift the Pan- thers' spirits when they were lowest.

Watching Jon play was like watching a boy do something he really enjoyed. Each time the Panthers scoted, Jon's voice could be heard ringing out, and each time- he scored himself you could hear the same shout and, under close observation, spot a small but •distinct smile on his face.

Another loss was forward Roy Awbrey. Roy's "14.6 points per game and-6.4 rebounds were se- cond high on the team. He was second" high, also in free throw percentage at 77.1. Roy is only a junior so he may get to see more action next fall.

The third loss was Larry Busn, although' not a starter, always a good man to have on the bench. bers 0f the Panther team who Larry's two-point scoring average | are determined that the loss of is far from a true indication of|theSe three sfiall not mean the his worth to the tearm j death of the team's. conference

The three are survived by mem- j chances.

LuGrange College's two leading scorers a id a tall reserve have run into academic difficulties and have been lost from Coach Al Mariotti's 1962-63 basketball Pan- thers.

Because of their fall quarter grades center Jon Goldman, for- ward Roy Awbrey, and second- string center Larry Bush have been placed on academic proba- tion and will be ineligible for further competition this season.

Goldman, a 6^-3 senior from Meansville, was leading the Pan- thers in scoring (16.6 per game), field goal percentage (56.8), and rebounds (12 per game). The for- mer Zebulon High School and Young Harris Junior College player had scored a total of 116 points, hitting over 20 points in three of the seven games in which he played.

Awbrey, also ■ 6-3 but from Franklin, averaged 14.6 points in five games and. missed, two be- cause of injuries. A junior, Aw- brey last year averaged 19 points for Columbus Junior College and was selected as "most valuable player" on the team!

Like Awbrey, Bush is a junior transfer from Columbus Junior College. At 6-4, one of the two tallest players on the Panther squad, he was . playing behind Goldman at the pivot slot. Bush is from Phenix City, Ala.

Latest Panther statistics show that the three players have been

responsible for over half, or 33.2 points of the team's 62.! scoring average per game.

Under Coach Mariotti, in his first year as LC mentor after 17 years at LaGrange High School, the Panthers compiled a 4-3 win- lost record in pre-Christmas com- petition.

Goldman, Awbrey, and Bush have not been excluded from classes, but because they failed to make the required grade-point average (1.8 for seniors, 1.6 for juniors) they will not be able to continue representing the college in athletic competition. They also forfeit their athletic scholarships, Coach Mariotti said.

'Hot' schedule faces Panthers for '63 season

Things are going to get hotter than a night at the library as the LaGrange College Panthers shift into high gear for the remaining sixteen games.

After an invasion into Demorest to battle the Piedmont Lions, the Panthers face three opponents on the home court. These will.be Mercer, Berry, and Valdosta State.

The Panthers fought a defensive battle with Mercer earlier in the season losing 50-38 in a real thriller. The home court advan- tage could supply LC with enough support to pull off one of the biggest, upsets this season.

Berry and Valdosta State, both conference foes, will be in town on the 16th and 19th respectively. Berry always has a small scroppy team full of enthusiasm.

Valdosta State's Rebels are probably the best-all-round team in the conference. Their early sea- son loss to Shorter is not repre- sentative of the boys from south Georgia.

Last year's match with Valdosta State was a nail-biting affair, with Valdosta finally winning 40- 37 on our court.

Knowledge is what a man ac- quires. V/isdom is what he is. A man has no more wisdom than he uses.

LARRY HOWELL

The loss of Jon Goldman and Roy Awbrey has made Larry Howell the leader in field goal percentage at 44.4, free throw percentage at 78.6, rebounding at 5.7, and total points at 10.0 per game.

Larry, a former teammate of Goldman's at Young Harris, is the Panthers' best defensive ball play- er, according to Coach Mariotti. He will move from his pre-Christ- mas guard position to forward for the remainder of the season.

All-stars trip champs

in final volleyball meet

All-stars from AKO, Alpha Phi, and the freshman volleyball teams provided the winning combination to hand Kappa Phi its first de- feat after a perfect season at the close of last quarter.

Kappa Phi's black team includ- ed Harriette Kuhr, Mary Hackney, Betty Sue Brantly, Ginny Howard, Donna Howell, and Annie Ruth Banister.

No doubt the win was sheer de- light for the all-stars, and espe- cially for the girls representing Alpha Phi, who went winless all season.
