New Major Will

Be Offered Here A new program will be inaugu-

rated in the academic year 1962- 63, Dr. C. Lee Harwell, Dean, an- nounces.

This program will make pro- visions for a major in elementary education to be applied toward obtaining an elementary school teacher's certificate.

The new professor heading this department will be Miss Sarah Marie Davis, who will be the as- sociate professor of Education.

Miss Davis is a native of Go-' shen, Alabama. She attended Troy | State, receiving her B. S. degree in 1946. She received her M. A. degree from the University of Al- abama in 1949 and will receive her PhD. from the University of Alabama in June, 1962.

A member of the Baptist Chur- ch and of the Kappa Delta Pi and Delta Kappa Gamma learned so- cieties, Miss Davis held a former position as teacher at Verner School, Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

This program, which has al- ready been approved by the fa- culty and by the Executive Com- mittee of the Board of Trustees, will begin in September 1962.

Trustees Meet May 18

The Board of Trustees will hold their annual spring meeting May 18 at 10:00 in the Simpson Room.

Committee reports and recom- mendations will be made. Dr. Henry will make his annual re- port. A luncheon will be held at 1:00.

George S. Cobb Jr. is chair- man of the Board. Mr. M. M. Trot- ter and Dr. Waights G Henry are vice-chairmen. Mr. Harris R. Spikes is treasurer and Mr. R. Woodrow Smith is secretary and assistant treasurer.

LaGrange Campus Elections Have Ended W. U. S. Seeks Aid From LaGrange

In President Kennedy's inaugu- ral address he states: "To those peoples in the huts and villages of half of the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for what- ever period is required — not be- cause the communists may be do- ing it, not because we sheek then- votes, but because it is right."

World University Service,, an international student service or- ganization, has played an import- ant role in helping universities and students to help themselves through times of crises since its beginning in World War I. The week of April 1 through April 7 was set aside as WUS Week at LaGrange College. During this week various activities were plan- ned to help solicit funds for this campaign.

Throughout the week sororities and fraternities competed in a penny-saving campaign for WUS. Pi Delta Kappa and Kappa Phi Delta won the awards. On Wed- nesday, April 4, Mr. Leon O. Ma- rion, Regional Executive of WUS, spoke in chapel on the importance and purpose of World University Service throughout the world. For the SCA program on Thursday, April 5, a choral reading was pre- sented by students; and a film a- bout WUS was shown. Students were given the opportunity to pledge their support, and later in the week these funds were col- lected.

You are urged to join with WUS in the fight against poverty, dis- ease and despair in the interna- tional community of students and

Junior Owen Green Heads 1962-63 Student Council

Three-fourths of the LaGrange College student body went to the polls April 12th to vote in the annual student body executive elections. Those elected were Owen Green, president; Dan Mettee, men's vice- president; Anna Smith, women's vice-president; Johnny Glisson, treasurer; and Jean Jackson, secretary.

Speeches were made by the candidates running for president on April 12, and the ballots were cast that afternoon in Manget.

With the announcement of the new officers came the realization of a new student government bas- ed on a new Constitution, which was passed by the student body April 11. This constitution pro- vided for a judicial and legisla- tive branch.

Large Enrollment

Expected For Summer

An unusually large number of students is expected to pre-regis- ter May 9-11 for the summer quarter classes.

Pitts Dormitory and Turner Hall will open Sunday, June 10, for girls and boys respectively. Registration for students not in residence this quarter will be held Monday morning from 8 to 12 noon, and classes will meet that afternoon.

Schedules of courses being of- fered can be obtained from the registrar's office where room re- quests can be made also.

professors. Help students to help themselves; give because it is right.

The judicial branch consists of three members from each class. Those chosen were Harriet Huhr, Bob Bailey, and Margaret Layton from the senior class; Sandy Bur- gess, Charlie Knight, and Richard Rowe from the junior class; Billy Ayers, Vincent Sheaffer, and Lowery Tillison were chosen, from

The May Court of LaGrange College. Gathered around the queen, Mimi Ander- son and the king, Porter Morgan, are, clockwise: Jean Jackson, Starr Walker, Betty Jones, Nelda Smith, Angela Avant, Sandra Meritt, Laura Williams, Ginger Crawford, and Nancy Stipeck.

Campus Chefs

Are Improvement "Campus Chefs and I like be-

ing at LaGrange very much," de- clared Mr. Mattson, who is the new director of the dining hall. When asked what he thought was the biggest improvement made, Mr. Mattson replied, "the prepa- ration and serving of the food ha- ve changed the most."

The new "chefs" have also pla- ced in the dining hall a music system for the benefit of the stu- dents and. a suggestion box that may be used for complaints or suggestions of new foods. A birth- day party for everyone during the week who has a birthday is held on Wednesdays. T-bone steak with trimmings and a cake are served.

Plans for the future include a

compartment-type plate which will separate the food better and make a more attractive appear- ance. There will also be com-

pletely new facilities in the din- ing hall to be opened in August.

the sophomore class.

The legislative branch consists dormitory students, plus one man of three women and three men and one woman town student elected from each class.

President Owen Green looks forward to an eventful year with the student body taking a decid- edly promoted interest in student government activities.

Dean Harwell expressed his hopes for a better student gov- ernment, with this comment: "Op- portunity exists for the student body to exercise a greater degree of student government with re- alization that with every freedom there is added responsibility."

NEW STAFF The Hilltop News is under a

new staff for this quarter. Regular elections for fall quarter will be announced by the publications commjttee at a later date.

The Hilltop News needs stu- dents interested in working—ei- ther in advertising or writing. Anyone interested can see Mr. Alan Thomas.

MAY DAY FEATURES DREAMS OF DESTINY

The Women's Athletic Associa- tion of LaGrange College will sponsor the annual May Day pro- gram on "The Hill" May 5, 1962.

The memorable day will com- mence with registration and a musical program which will take place in Dobbs Auditorium. A picnic lunch is on the agenda for 12:00 noon, when two tables will be spread on the Quadrangle. Af- ter the fine Southern cooking has been enjoyed, the excitement of the day will begin to climax as the students will prepare for the porgram of entertainment to be presented at 3:00 p. m.

The theme for this program is

"Dreams of Destiny" — may they all come true! Many students are cooperating with the W. S. A. to help make this day a success and the Council wishes to thank them for their efforts. The W. A. A. hopes that the work and fellow- ship involved1 in the presentation of the program will make it worth while.

The perfect end to the perfect day will come with the dance at 8:00 p. m. in the Gym. Decora- tions for the dance will carry on the theme of "Dreams of Destiny" and admission will be free for the students of LaGrange College. Kid Miller and his band will fur- nish the music.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR First I would like to make it clear that I am not against

an occasional revolt against authority. This is something that is a part of all young people. It is not a revolt against authority that bothers me, but the manner in which it was carried out. I am referring to the appearance and conduct of students who were attending the play which was a part of the Fine Arts Festival. Attendance was required for this play and students were requested to wear suits. A great number of boys came in Bermuda shorts and sports shirts with a tie strung around their necks. This was, of course, a protest against the required attendance. But why must these students exhibit their animosities against fellow stu- dents who were not to blame?

The people presenting the play had rehearsed three or four hours a night for four weeks and this is hard work. While they were presenting the play, members of the audi- ence were making noises and going in and out of the audi- torium. I cannot see what these people hoped to gain by em- barrassing their friends and fellow students who were on the stage. Some of the boys who engaged in this were outstand- ing student leaders in both the student government and the S. C. A. I am sure if I, or anyone else, attended the S. C. A. function dressed in shorts and a sloppy shirt and old tie, I would be immediately ostracized. These leaders certainly did a poor job in setting a good example.

The audience was forced to come, so it was interested, not in watching and enjoying the presentation, but in leav- ing as quickly as possible. There is nothing wrong in being against compulsory chapel, but it was carried Out in the wrong way. Why not take the complaint to the administra- tion where the ruling originated? The Curtain Raisers did not ask for compulsory attendance. Why should they have to bear the brunt of an attack which should have been di- rected elsewhere? Common sense will tell -anyone that this incident should not have happened. If common sense is not used, at least common courtesy should have prevailed.

GOTTA' MINUTE?

In A Pensive Mood Art Collection Is One Of Best Ever

A young mind, nurtured on tradition, fed by environment, reared among limiting stumbling blocks, seeks a time when it may shake off the dust of adolescence, view its own past with a critical eye, grasp again that which no longer meets the test.

Naturally, this young mind must venture into another world — a world with a new society — if it is to evaluate the old. The time comes and this marvel of the hu- man mind in its youth slips away from the old ties and finds a new existence.

The distance traveled may be measured in miles or in blocks— it makes no difference really. Eternally important is but the fact that a change must now begin. New contacts are made in this fresh environment — some are with other young minds which are also enthusiastic about the new cosmos in which they find them- selves.

Overshadowing the other young minds are the older, more ex- perienced minds. Though fewer in number, these are the dominat- ing factors in the new scene. That is, they dominate in the begin- ning. Gradually, a division occurs —among the older minds, some take pride in the spark of reali- zation of truth on the part of the young mind. However, some of the older minds are content to i praise youth only when it follows' their own conclusions.

The sad thang here is that the youth become confused. While un- older minds, they rejoice them- selves as they know they are searching for the whole truth and not just pare of it — for the to- tality of life and not merely a fragment of it. Yet, while watch- ed by the other older minds, their very being is torn between want-

ing to continue to search for the total picture and facing up to the fact that if they are to progress in this new life they must mold their views to hose of heir more experienced directors.

The new existence then becom- es a paradox — the young mind seeks truth in some circles while conforming to knowledge in oth- ers. 'At the end of a certain period, the young mind moves on. As it moves on, it remembers with gra- titude the chance to search truth for itself i leaves, the knowledge gained by conformtiy fades—the truth lives on.

WHAT ABOUT CULTURE? Attendance in 'the extra-curricular cultural life on the

LaGrange College campus seems to be a never-ending prob- lem. Not only are students at fault in this problem, but also some professors seem to be missing at some of the functions.

What are we doing at college anyway? Are we not try- ing to extend our intellectual attitudes as well as our social attitudes? Are we afraid to seem interested in intellectual interests for fear of being left out of the "crowd?" What's so wrong with njoying classical music or appreciating fine art? Nat all people who indulge in such things are considered Present Production "odd-balls." The situation gets pretty bad when a person in the dormitory cannot listen to fine music without being cri- ticized, and then the person who did the complaining turns around and lets blast, full force, with some wild rendition of the "Twist."

Are we going to be individualists or conformists, follow- ers or leaders? Our actual studies are only a small part of our academic life that prepare us for a better and richer life. If we walk away from college without any deep concern for the cultural facets of our life, then we have left behind one of the most important parts of our education. Maybe at the present time we are more interested in running a populari- ty contest and being well-liked by being conformists, but later in our careers we will look back on our college days and realize what opportunities we have missed.

What is education? Education is a small room, a dim lamp, and the sound of a pencil, scribbling. It is the smell of the old volumes in the library. It is falling asleep over "Beo- wulf."

But education is more than books and maps and batter- ed pencil-sharpeners. It is learning to see. It is realizing that you know less each day. It is also realizing that professors are people, people who teach students, not courses. It is learning about the world, about your country, your commun- ity. Most important, it is learning about yourself.

Education is quiet words, long thoughts, and careful ac- tions, tearing down the walls of our dark, frightening ignor- ance. Education? It is the torch that destroys the fear in the heart of man.

Culture? Why not? Won't you do your part to enjoy life by thinking about the better things that LaGrange College has to offer?

Curtain Raisers To

The Curtain Raisers will pre- sent "DEATH TAKES A HOLI- DAY" on May 18-19 at 8:15, un- der the direction of Miss Irene Arnett. It is a comedy in three acts, written by Alberto Casella and rewritten for the American stage by Walter Ferris. "DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY" was the first play which Miss Arnett di- rected at LaGrange and she has chosen it to end her career here. Although rehearsals were inter- rupted because of her illness, the cast is working hard to make up for lost time to present an intrig- uing show, full of mystery, humor and love.

Recently the Curtain Raisers went on tour to two places with their reader's theatre production of "AT MIDNIGHT ON THE THIRTY-FIRST OF MARCH" by Josephine Young Case. Under the direction of Miss Sylvia Strick- land, the cast went first to Doug- las, Georgia. Friday, April 27, they traveled to Greenwood, Mis- sissippi, Miss Strickland's home town, and presented "Midnight" on Saturday.

With success on this tour, the Curtain Raisers are looking for- ward to more tours and more good drama.

Alpha Kappa Theta's Entertain

At Nursery; Bring Joy To Young, Old The Alpha Kappa Theta Sorority < held an Easter party for the

Maidee Smith Negro Nursery on Thursday, April 19th. Approximately twenty Alpha Kappa Theta's helped hide eggs in the playroom of the nursery. Mrs. Hill, the director, and her assistants cooperated with the sorority and were very grateful to them for their interest.

The younger children slept while the -Alpha Kappa Theta "bunnies" were at work and the older children played outside. As the children entered the room where the eggs were hidden, smil- es of delight and looks of wonder appeared on their faces, since ma- ny of the children had never seen as many eggs. The younger child- ren were helped by the sorority members and all found some eggs. Prizes were given to the boy and the girl finding the largest num- ber of eggs. Also, a huge choco- late egg was hidden.

ter bracelet went winter quarter to Sylvia Sajem, a senior active from Atlanta. Sylvia came to La- Grange from Young Harris Col- lege and has made a great contri- bution to AKO during her stay here.

Lost And Found Since the beginning of fall

quarter, there has been a slow but steady stream of stray articles flowing in the Dean of Student's office. Notices of these articles have been posted on the students' Bulletin Board in Smith, but few people have come by to claim them.

Some of these articles are of great value to some student. There are many cars around L. C. with missing hubcaps. There is one hubcap that has been turned in for which Miss Hall can find no use! Other articles are the follow- ing: 1 pair of girl's white heels, size 5% B; 1 pair of beige knit gloves; 1 boy's olive green pull- over sweater; 1 pair of blue knit gloves; a student council pen; a girl's BuloVa wrist watch; 1 boy's grey-green cardigan sweater; 1 boy's wrist watch; 1 girl's brown leather pocketbook; 1 pair of girl's black gloves; 1 pair of girl's white gloves; a girl's white silk head scarf; a girl's olive cardigan swea- ter; several keys; and a few ear- rings.

One can easily see by the above list that the Dean of Students of- fice could, and has, become quite littered by these articles. So if you are missing something, please check by the office and claim your property. This will be great- ly appreciated!.

Student Poll

In a recent campus survey sev- eral students commented on the new Constitution:

Larry Danieds—"Some voted to pass it without even reading it."

Virginia Howard — "I think it's wonderful for the students, but will they read it?"

Janice Barton — "The new con- stitution is good provided the stu- dents v7ill back it and not let the faculty run i. It is the suden's and should remain the student's."

Dianne Choate —"The student should have an equal part with the administration in the man- agement of the student govern- ment."

Bill Smith — "The students should use the power given them, but use it in the right way for the student's benefit."

Michael Lane — "If the admin- istration and faculty will help by working with the students, the new constitution will be a great success."

Charlie Knight — "If the stu- dents take their responsibility se- riously, it will be the best thing for them."

Owen Green — "The best move the student government has made in years since it has been needed. Now we, the students, can take a more active part in the govern- mento f LaGrange College."

Prof. Irene E. Arnett Honored By

"Doc" Adams Of TV's "Gunsmoke" By MILDRED EIDSON

On April 20, 1962, the LaGrange College Curtain Raisers honored Miss Irene Arnett at a luncheon on the occasion of her impending retirement. To participate in the honoring, Mr. Milburn Stone, "Doc" Adams on T. V.'s "Gun- smoke", traveled from California to pay his tribute to Miss Arnett. Miss Arnett was the principal of the high school wihch Mr. Stone attended in Burrton, Kansas. She directed him in his first acting job — the senior play. Later, the two met and studied together at the Pasadena Playhouse in Cali- fornia.

At the luncheon Miss Arnett ex-

pressed her love for all her stu- dents as the love a mother feels for her children, Milburn Stone being her first. Mr. Stone then spoke of his devotion and respect for Miss Arnett, affectionately calling her "Aunt Irene". In clos- ing, Mr. Stone stated that he be- lieved that "when God establish- ed his kingdom here on earth, he sent a teacher. 'Aunt Irene' is proof he has been sending a few along ever since."

After his formal speech, the floor was opened for a question and answer period concerning "Gunsmoke." Stone left LaGran- ge Friday to return to California to begin the filming of the eighth year of "Gunsmoke."

PANTHER TENNIS TEAM BETTER ONE AND FOUR FOR SEASON

By. STEDDY GLISSON

The LC Panthers, with only three returnees from last year's ten- nis team, are having it rough this season. The team is comprised of new and unexperienced players who are playing in rough competi- tion. The returnees are Andy Owens, Porter Morgan, and George Co- fcer. The new additions are Freddie Easom, George Redmond, Jim Baggett, and Jimmy New.

The Panthers have competed against such teams as North Geor- gia, West Georgia, Shorter, and Berry. LC has only been able.to scrape up one victory this season and that was over Berry by the score of 5 to 4. North Georgia has defeated LC by the scores of 8 to 1 and 9 to 0, and lost to Berry by the score of 7 to 2. West Georgia won over the Panthers 8 to 1. A tennis match with Shorter was rained out, and will be made up if it has to do with anything that will determine the standings in the G. I; A. C.

New Boys The game of the season is on

May 1 with Shorter in Rome. Ev- en though the tennis team was made up of almost all entirely new boys, we ought to be proud pj ^g/f TdkcS of them for the good season they had this year. Softball Lead

Fraternity softball has been go- ing on for three weeks and the competition is good with the teams battling for first place. Pi Delt is in first place, Sigma Nu is in second, and Gamma Phi is in third. These are the standings of the teams through April 24.

Living Endowment

Students have been hearing a- bout the Living Endowment Fund, sponsored by the LaGrange College Alumni Association, of which Mrs. T. Scott Avary is president. Thus far there has been a total of $1476 contributed by 110 persons — an average gift of $13.30 per contributor. These fig- ures per contributor are approxi- mately the same as those of Wes- leyan, Shorter, Oglethorpe, and Berry colleges. The main differ- ence is that a higher percentage of olumni of the aforementioned colleges contribute.

The total contribution for last year at the concurrent time was $1,118 — $358 less than this year. These figures sound good until one realizes the number of La- Grange College alumni in com- parison to the number of contrib- utors.

In view of these observations, LaGrange College alumni must awaken to the benefits derived from their education at LaGrange College and in return say, "Thank you," by way of contributions to the Living Endowment Fund. Not until the alumni awaken to re- alize the support they can give monetarily, will anyone else be interested in giving.

The Living Endowment Fund helps now as well as later.

FACULTY COMMITTEE STUDIES GRADING SYSTEM PROBLEM

Students at LC are not the only ones who are interested in grad- es.

A special faculty committee is now investigating and making a study of the problem of grades and systems of grading. This commit- tee may, in the near future, make recommendations as to changes that should be made at LC in the grading practice.
