CONFLICTING CONVENIENCE

Administration and faculty members have noted that stu- dents inadequately support concert programs and lecture series unless attendance is required for such sessions. Why is this true when most of us here are seeking to enrich our lives?

We find that we sell ourselves short in obtaining the li- beral arts education for which LaGrange College is noted. These added features of concerts and lectures serve to ac- quaint us with a portion of education that we do not find in the classroom or in books.

But such things we do not support. Many of our "cultur- al advantages" are presented at the LaGrange High Audi- torium for the cooperation and convenience of the towns- people. However, this proves to be an inconvenience to the college student who has two hours of work in each of his subjects to prepare for the next day's classes. It would be easier to take an hour or two from his studies if he did not have to worry about dressing up, getting to, and getting from the auditorium at the high school. Sure, many of us take 30 minutes from our study time to go get a hamburger and Coke or spend that time in the student center, but that's not two hours and that's not inconvenience!

The Hilltop News suggests that if more programs were held on campus and townspeople invited here rather than our going off campus for college events, student backing of such performances might improve.

STOP PLAYING WITH LEGISLATION Let's stop playing Student Government. Last year the

Men's Legislature, with authorization by the new Student Government constitution, made the rules to govern the men students. Many of these have been changed without action of the legislature.

Last Wednesday night new rules were imposed upon the residents of the new dorm. There was no legislature meet- ing. There wasn't even a meeting of the dorm council.

If the students are not going to be allowed to use their constitution, then let's do away with it If the rules of the S. G. A. are constantly going to be over-ridden, then let's stop playing government.

The rule, as stated in the Constitution, says that "The Men's Legislature shall legislate rules for men students." The Student Government was not created because the stu- dents wanted something else to do. It wasn't a game to those who spent long hours drawing up the rules.

Let's exercise our power. If we cannot have a student gov- ernment as provided for in the constitution, then let's do away with student government altogether.

FIFTY YEARS AGO.... Young girls paid the grand sum

of $200 to attend LaGrange Col- lege for a year.

Uniforms of white and black were worn by all students.

The city of LaGrange had a po- pulation of 8,000.

There were three buildings on famous — Smith, Hawkes, and Dobbs.

Hawkes had verandas on all three floors.

The three "societies" on campus were the Irenian, the Mezzofant- ian, and the Y. W. C. A.

Students could not charge any- thing at the local stores.

Permission had to be obtained from the president of the college to communicate with a young man.

Students could not borrow mo- ney, clothes, or jewelry from each other.

Students were not allowed vis- itors of any kind except in very unusual circumstances.

LC had a high school depart- ment all its own.

The total enrollment, including the high school, was 198.

Two plays given were "A Pre- cious Pickle" and "A Love of a Bonnet."

Hawkes' basement contained a 30,000 gallon swimming pool.

STUDENT PRODUCTION, NO EXIT', MERITS PRAISE

by John White

For two hours they held our at- tention. For two hours they spoke the words of Jean-Paul Sartre, atheist, to LaGrange College stu- dents and faculty, Christians. For two hours they showed us our world through the eyes of an ath- eist existentialist. If we who saw do not understand what we saw, it was not their fault. They did a

■remarkable job.

"They" are the actors, the ac- tresses, the director, the stage manager, and the technical crew who presented "No Exit" Satur- day night.

Special recognition should be given to the Speech and Drama Department and the administra- tion for allowing Turgut Akter to produce and direct a play of such a nature for his senior seminar in directing.

Miss Sylvia Strickland was pro- duction advisor, and Dr. Kovar gave the actors a background in existentialism without which this production would have been im- possible. Dr. Kovar also intro- duced the play.

Dr. Kovar, in his introduction, pointed out that Sartre's existent- ialism is only one man's philoso- phy and that many existential- ists throughout history have been Christian, including St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas. (Soren Kierkegaard, a nineteenth cen- tury Christian existentialist, has been called "the father' of modern existentialism.")

Sartre's view that Hell is other people was strongly presented in

this .production. Sartre does not believe in Hell, or life-after-death, or even in God. For Sartre, Life now is the only life there is. There is no other. And life now is Hell because man makes it so, and there is nothing man can do to save himself.

This view is, of course, in di- rect opposition to the Christian belief of God, who is Love, of life that is good, and of a spiritual life that transcends matter.

That the actors, who came from a background that is alien to Sartre's philosophy, could present such a philosophy at all is amaz- ing; but that they did it in a pro- fessional manner and with clarity is an indication, both of their skill and of the skill of Turgut Akter, the student director. Their fine performance is also a tribute to the patience of the production advisor, Miss Strickland. The fact that the players knew enough about Sartre's existentialism to effect such a performance is a tribute to Dr. Kovar's dedication to excellence.

The play was a difficult under- taking. It was a success, for it did what it set out to do: to present the philosophy of Sartre in such a clear manner that it would be possible for college students to understand it. The play certainly achieved this purpose.

Everyone connected with this performance deserves highest praise for a difficult job well done.

ELECTIONS

Student body elections are in the air and it's time to start think- ing about the likely sucker to take the position of Student Body pre-

sident. We could start by naming off all the stand- ard qualifications for such an of- fice, such as lea- ] dership, scholar- ship, etc., but I think that wel should look at a different angle of it.

No election, whether it be Pre- sident of the United States or City Garbage Supervisor, is com- plete without a campaign. This gives the students the opportuni- ty to get to know the candidate, see the qualifications, and gener- ally have a bang-up good time in the process.

I remember back in high school that the student body elections were the biggest event of the year. Enemies that had been made dur- ing the year tackled each other with gusto and used every device in their power to get the vote of the hapless student.

Now I am not suggesting that we start playing high school (Heavens, no! It just wouldn't be collegiate!), but this practice of active campaigning by candidates is a time-honored tradition at ma- ny of our larger schools. Besides being a lot of fun, it does serve those purposes mentioned above, and might add a little life to a us- ually dead winter quarter.

Just what type of "active" cam- paigning do I mean? Oh, some- think like posters, handbills, speeches, "bandwagons," and all the rest. The Hilltop News prob- ably would sell advertising space to those candidates who wanted it, and campaigning could be turned into a first class event.

Now that the nominations have been made, it is the duty of the present Student Government As- sociation to get the ball rolling. Somewhere in the dusty corners there must be an elections com- mittee, and it doesn't seem like it would be too much trouble to set up a few rules and limits (such as money and time, etc.) to make it work.

But no matter how many cam- paigns we have, no matter how many speeches are made, the re- sponsibility rests finally with the student who has the voting pow- er. The only way that these peo- ple are going to get elected is by ballot, and you, the student, must cast that ballot.'

So when the appointed time rolls around, put down the ping pong paddle for a minute and vote. The elected officers are go- ing to be working for you. You might as well take a part in get- ting them elected.

We cannot get or keep anything for ourselves alone unless we also get it for others too.

— Sneed

People To Meet

New major begun by Davis LaGrange College has added to

its Department of Education this year a well-educated and highly experienced teacher, Dr. Sara Davis. After years of study and teaching, Dr. Davis still strives to improve her work in the field of elementary education.

Obtaining her B. S. degree from Troy State College in Alabama, Dr. Davis then continued her stu- dies at the University of Alabama where she earned both her M. A. and Ph. D. degrees.

Her first teaching experience, which began in the schools of Pike County, was followed by work at Vernon, the laboratory school at the University of Ala- bama. She later returned to Ver- non and taught while working on her doctorate.

Besides four years as Supervis- or of Instruction in the Opp City Schools, she taught at Livingston State College and during the sum- mers at Troy State. Her first em- ployment in Georgia is here at LaGrange where she specializes in elementary education. At present, her duties include, besides teach- ing, working with the student

teachers who are practice teach- ing in the LaGrange Elementary Schools.

Dr. Davis says she likes La- Grange College because the peo- ple — both students and faculty work together so nicely. Her goals for the future are "to do the best job I can" and to became a better college teacher.

Among her hobbies are cooking, reading, sewing, and playing golf. Although Troy, Alabama, is her hometown, Dr. Davis now resides at 301 Springdale Drive where she and her mother live together.

Discussion group formed An informal student discussion

group, composed of representative juniors and seniors, assembled for its organizational meeting Sunday, February 10, at 9:00 p. m. in the Formal Parlor. Its purpose stems from an expressed need for an academic atmosphere on campus. Its aims encompass the goals of learning through a free exchange of ideas between faculty and stu- dents. This group was challenged with the fact that "too many stu- dents on this campus are afraid of ideas."

Fred Brown moderated the dis- cussion on the purposes, if any, served by our local fraternities and sororities. The faculty mem- bers present were Dr. Jones, Dr. Kay, and Mr. Brown.

This group will be open to all interested students and faculty ■members. It will meet next on

slipped past the Cats to snap the four-game winning streak 68-67 in Carrollton.

Before LC could flush up an- other win they had dropped two more — losing to Valdosta 60-45 and Florida Southern 99-57. It was on the eve of the USC game that LC was placed on probation in the conference and ruled inel- igible for any post-season games.

Panther prestige rose again however, when LC beat Charles- ton 71-54, Piedmont 70-47, and Georgia State twice 71-52 and 95-55.

Seeking their fifth consecutive win again, LC was upset by the spoilers from Carrollton, 62-52. This was the start of something big as LaGrange finished out the season with losses to Berry 66-65, Troy State 91-77, and Shorter 78-67.

the junior class and must have a 1.0 over-all academic average. SGA President Greene told the Hilltop News last week that a 2.0 average was required. (Edi- tor's Note: The constitution calling for a 1.0 average was adopted when that was a "C" average. A 1.0 average is now a "D'' aver- age, but apparently the constitu- tion has not been changed to bring it in line with the college's new grade policy.)

Qualifications for other SGA posts are sophomore or junior for the vice-presidents, and freshman or sophomore for both secretary and treasurer. These offices also require a 1.0 academic average.

This will be the first election under the new SGA constitution, which was adopted late last spring. There is no mention in the document of "open campaigning", but the topic has been discussed on campus from time to time for several years. Apparently it will be explained when the nomina- tions are made known.

Election of Legislative Council members by each class is slated to take place within one week after spring holidays.

SHORTER TAKES LC LAST GAME OF SEASON

LaGranse College was defeated by Shorter 78-67 in Rome Satur- day night to end the season. The loss, gives the Panthers a 12-11 season record, 5-5 in the confer- ence.

Alter the lead switched 10 times in the first half, Shorter took the lead at 17-15 and was never caught again. The half-time

Panthers fall to Troy

LaGrange College's second-half comeback was not sufficient enough to overcome a big half- timo lead by Troy State as the Panthers fell to the Alabama school 91-77.

Troy led all the way and was out front 49-33 at the half. How- ever the Panthers caught fire early in the third period and mov- ed within striking distance of the Red Wave.

With 7:30 to play in the game, LC was only eight points back of the much taller Waves, but could get no closer.

Jack Mayo, Bob Tuggle, Hugh Corless, and Larry Howell hit in double figures with 21, 19, 13, and 12 points, respectively. Jud Dye scored 19 for the winners.

score was 37-24, Shorter. In the second half LC got with-

in six points of catching the Gold Wave, but superior height and good field goal shooting kept Shorter in front.

Hugh Corless hit 21 for La- Grange, and Bill Moore had 18 for Shorter.

Gamma Phi wins Tuesday evening, February 12,

Gamma Phi handed Pi Delta Kap- pa another defeat and climbed in- to first place. At the end of regu- lation time the score was tied at 38 points each. This situation brought about the need for a two- minute overtime period in which Gamma Phi scored 4 points to Pi Delta Kappa's 2. Final score was Gamma Phi 42, Pi Delta Kappa 40.

Pacing the winners was Lowery Tillison. Lowery scored 22 points and grabbed several key rebounds. Chuck Stevens and Glenn Stone led Pi Delta Kappa but could not turn the tide.

ght here from 1954 until his resig- nation in January, wrote Presi- dent Waights G. Henry Jr. last week to wish him birthday greet- ings.

In the letter, Mr. Westafer told Dr. Henry that he is "enjoying most a course in music history and the resources of the music library" at North Carolina.

Mr. Westafer asked Dr. Henry to "pass along my best wishes to all at LaGrange College."
