12 MAKE WHO'S WHO AT LC

FIRST IMPRESSIONS A FRESHMAN

The weather was warm, too warm for the typical September back to school atmosphere,Ner- vousness had set in on me the previous evening. I was glad to reach the campus, anxious about meeting so many new people and very excited at the prospect of being away from home, really on my own for the first time in my life.

Though I had seen the campus and knew how small it was,it struck me as being very large as soon as my family was gone. I felt lost and algae.I soon found this feeling fading away into nothing more than a farce.The buildings, old and seren look- ing, became home quickly .The loneliness left when I focused my attention on getting to know others in my same situation. Freshman, as a general rule, are all nervous and breaking the ice took time. The upper- classmen, once they arrived, became friends as soon as I learned their names.Gradually I began to aquaint myself with the people and places on cam- pus. The hours, especially freshman hours took some ad- justing to as did the food, rules and restrictions.

I guess I had never concen-

trated on the differences be- tween home life in a big city and the small town atmosphere of LaGrange College. One of the things that struck me right off was the food. It takes a few days to'realize now good: a meal at home can be com- pared to eating constantly in a school cafeteria." Four green walls and three flights of stairs can get to be a real drag after being use to several rooms you can run freely in and out of any time 3f the day.

As time passed and I became^ more and more use to the dif- ferences; I find myself becom- ing happier at LC. The people are some of the best I've ever known. The rules and restrict- ions now appear to have some sense though I would have never have said that my first day here. The campus, small though itis, lends a sense of friendship, comfort and security to the campus life. The food has its low points but some good can be found there,too.

Two weeks is a short time in which to draw a conclusion about a place that shall be a second home for four yearsJ can say I like it very much here.

LC President Speaks

At Conference "The state government must

now come to the aid of private schools" or spend an additional $83 million per year for higher education. Citing the indepen- dent colleges critical problem of finance, Dr. Waights G.Henry told the opening session of the Governor's Conference on Ed- ucation that "it would be much cheaper for the states to pay a portion, of the tuition charges than for fee private schools to fine themselves unable to op- erate and have to go out of business."Dr. Henry said that Georgia taxpayers save an- nually $38 million by the in- dependent colleges education 26.7 per cent of the states college students.

Reporting that some 24,620 students were enrolled in non- tax-supported institutions du- ring the past academic year,Dr. Henry said, "the state must be- gin to educate these same stu- dents at an institutional opera- tions cost averaging in excess of $1,200 a year for each stu- dent."

During the two-day con- ference of some 1,200 edu-

cators and citizens from across the Peach State, Dr. Henry su- gested that Georgia's 31 church and privately supported col- leges and universities "can pay the butcher and the baker but they are getting to a point where they can't pay the ideas- maker."

Independent colleges can demonstrate strong curricula and programs as well as top- flight faculty, buildings, and equipment, however, faculty salaries, which are rising at an estimated 5.7 per cent a year, and other institutional costs of living continue to spiral upward.

"There are now 29 states in the union in which tax funds are used to pay a part of the educa- tion of students in the indepen- dent coUeges," Dr. Henry said. "Recognizing that the state gov- ernment already pays all, or nearly all, of the tuition fees for students who choose to at- tend the schools completely op- erated by the state, state leg- islatures are now seeing the necessity of paying a part of ed-

Twelve LaGrange College students—evenly divided bet- ween men and women—will be featured in the 1969 edition of "Who's Who Among Students in A merican Universities and Colleges."

Dr. C. Lee Harwell,academ- ic dean, announced the select- ion of the dozen "outstanding students" on Wednesday, Oct. 2, at the convocation opening the college's 138th year.

Dean HarweU said the "Who's Who selection is faculty-stu- dent recognition of the students' participation and leadership in extracurricular activities, scholarship, character, per- sonality, and promise of fut- ure usefulness.

The students—10 seniors, one junior and one recent grad- uate—named are John Thomas Baynard of St. Petersburg, Fla., Alice Judith Brooks of Atlanta; Garland Keith Gudger of Green- ville; Earl Gill Holmes Jr. of New Castle, Ky., Margaret Flo- rence Lunsford of Elberton; Mary Ann McLendon of Forest Park; Earnest Eugene Miller Jr. of Clarkston; Elmo Murray Newlin of LaGrange; Philip Gerald Thacker of Smyra; and Patricia Ann Trice of Marietta, all seniors; Jeanne Marie Blackburn of Orlando, Fla., a junior; and Mrs. Kathryn Har- well Hunter, of Clarkston, who graduated during the summer.

Of the six men and six wom- en selected for "Who 's Who, three are speech and drama majors, two are majoring in English, and two are in social work. ,,

The other students are earn- ing majors in biology, chem- istry, elementary education, general science, and mathema- tics, respectively.

Purpose of the "Who's Who" publication, as stated in the foreword of the last edition, is to "provide public recogni- tion of the worthwhile achieve- ments of college students." Activities and honors of each student selected will be enum- erated in the 1968-69 (thirty- fifth) edition of the national publication.

Editorial The dispute over whether or

not to do away with ratting has arisen with strong disagree- ment on both sides of the fence. First, from the faculties view point:

Opposition stems mainly from the point that immature harrassment makes for a bad image of the school and the humility does nothing toward the purpose ratting is supposed to accomplish. This is all well and fine, but look at it now from the students side. To the upper- class ratting has two main pur- poses.

1) to orient the new Fresh- men to the customs and tra- ditions of the school while mak- ing, lasting friendships, 2) to make a person more humble.

The latter is not often thought of as much on the adminis- trative side because to them all that really stands out in their minds are thoughts of rats being mistreated and dis- gracing "The' Hill". To a Freshman arriving at La- Grange, he or she is not quite sure of how they are to act. Whether to keep .One's mou,th shut or to be a big shot by

boasting of past experiences, which are largely exaggerated. Ratling's main purpose was to outright tell the Freshman how to act while they are making new friends.

Granted there were uncalled for acts, by the sophomores, which should not have been, but for the most part ratting is an experience which will stand out in your college life as a fun time and not one of grief and sorrow. For those of you who did not get to be ratted. You have missed out on a lot of fun and some valuable ex- periences. There is stiU time to bring back ratting but to do so there must be a united effort on the part of this years Freshman class. By going through right channels you can achieve what you want. This past year's Freshman failed whether by -Ignorance or mis- takes. Whatever the reason, if s up to you to do something about it so that next year's Freshman class will at least gain an experience which you missed out on.

Panhellenic BY CAROLYN MITCHELL

The annual excitement and confusion known as the Rush Season is well underway with the Alpha Phi's having had their'formal rush party Fri- day, October 4 at the American Legion and the Gamma Phi party held Sat. Oct. 5th, at the Callaway Gardens Pavillion. At present 98 girls and 83 boys have qualified for poss- ible bidding.

On Friday, Oct. 11, Beta Rho Fraternity held its for- mal party and on the week- end of Oct. 25 and 26, parties will resume for Kappa Phi Delta and Pi Delta Kappa. The final formal parties will be given on Frt., Nov. 1, by Al- pha Kappa Theta and Sigman NuPi.

Homecoming will be on Nov. 9 and each Greek organization will have a float and a Home- coming candidate. Panhellenic member Gene Frame, is this years Homecoming chairman and the event promises to be a success.

The council voted at its re- gular October meeting that at the beginning of winter quart- er, 1969, and Greek wishing to become nationally-affiliated Fraternity or Sorority who has obtained a national charter may do so. Obviously, this is a very important and progressive de- cision.

All member of Greeks are re- minded not to wear any identi- fying symbol other than jewelry oit Fri. or Sat. of formal rush week-ends.

The Cause Of The Rebels FoUowing are excerpts from

a speech by Peace Corps Dir- ector Jack Vaughn before the American Management Assoc- iation's 45th anniversary con- vocation at the Waldorf-Astor- ia Hotel in New York City on September. 26. The meeting's theme: "Society and its lead- ers in Transition."

It may be comforting to think of what young people are up to today as a kind of natural cat- astrophe for which we bear no responsibility, but it is neither accurate nor helpful. We non- youths had better remind our- selves that we bear a great deal of responsibility. Today's youth revolution is not a fore- ordained natural phenomenon, but a human response to a spec- ific set of conditions that our generation helped to createj today's youth revolution is in- spired not by an abstract ide- ological dislike of "Establish- ments" in general, but a human response to a specific set of conditions that our generation helped to create; today's youth revolution is inspired not by an abstract ideological dislike of "Establishments" in general, but by an immediate, concrete dislike of a specific set of ex- isting institutions that bur gen- eration helped to build; finally, a' youth revolution is taking place because many young people, rightly or wrongly, have come to believe that we guar- dians of the status quo are so comatose that there is no way of awakening us short of a big bang, and that the status quo we guard is so that there is no way of changing it short of blowing it up. .

These facts really are quite obvious, and if we reminded ourselves of them more often, we might find ourselves less often ; talking fearfully about "terrorist plots" in the manner of John Edgar Hoover, or seU- rtghteously about "choas" in the manner of Grayson Kirk, or loftily about "law and order" in the manner of—well, you fill in the blank. We would be occupying ourselves instead with a sober and sympathetic inquiry into why so many young people—who after all are not our enemies but our much loved sons and daughters—are so fiercely angry at the society they are about "to inherit, and into whether, and if so how, we can help reconcile them to it or it to them. For I take it that everyone here agrees that

Is the biggest sham of all. That may sound like an out-

us who like being lectured and whacked.

There Is one other caution I would like to utter before I try to sketch two or three of the chief reasons I think young people are angry. That cau- tion is: Let no one take com- fort in the fact that, as our own investigations in the Peace Corps confirm, the young peo- ple who engage in protest are a minority. For that minority contains a widly disproport- ionate number, perhaps even a majority in some parts of the country, of the brightest, most imaginative, most talented, most sensitive young men and women; the young men and women whom their contempor- aries listen to, admire and often follow; the young men and wom- en whom government, business and the professions(in a word, the Establishment) desperately need as future leaders. Their disaffection is not only a moral reproach to America, but, if It continues, will be an irrepar- able practical loss.

Well, what are they angry at? First, and I think-most import- ant, they are angry at what they consider to be the sham they see. everywhere they look arid hear every time they listen; the sham that fighting a war is the way to achieve peace; the sham that life is getting even better in a country whose great cities are sliding ever more rapidly into dilapidation; the sham that a country that permits 20 mil- lion black men and women to be second class citizens is a coun- try animated by the spirit of liberty and dedicated to the principle of equality; the eter- nal sham of acting "in the nat- ional interest" with which every pressure group in the land, bus- iness and labor and professional and social and political, justi- fies its maneuvers to cling to ancient privileges or grab the new ones.

And of all the shams young people resent, the ones they ob- viously resent the most, be- cause they are the most immed- iate and shocking, are the ones perpetrated by American col- leges and universities: the sham that those colleges and universities are independent, inner directed institutions when, in sober fact, many of them in "many ways are mani- pulated by botii government and business; the sham that they exist for the benefit of their students, when.in sober fact one Inviolable principle on which they conduct their affairs

lucky that our first groups of Volunteers were enthusiastic- ally resolved to overcome any and all difficulties, because on the whole they arrived overseas with an inadequate knowledge of the host-country language, an incomplete appreciation of trie host-country culture and an Insufficient amount of technical skill. And in most instances when we complained about tills, we discovered that most col- leges arid universities really didn't, want to be bothered with developing new, and badly need- ed, educational techniques. With a few great exceptions, they indicated pretty clearly to us that If we wanted new tech- niques, we'd better develop them ourselves.

And wol we "did. And though we still have.to go a long way be- fore- we tejach as well as we

ago, the first problem it had - should, we teach our particular to face was how and where to fields much better than train the Volunteers it was plan- ning to send overseas, for clearly those Volunteers had to be trained. They were going to live for two years in towns and villages where no English was spoken, so they had to learn another language. They were going to countries whose history and culture they knew little or nothing about, so they had to learn history and culture. They were going to do jobs that most of them had no previous experience at, so they had to learn skiUs. More- over, they had to learn all those things in a few weeks, since a young man or woman who volunteers to serve overseas for two years is not volunteer- ing to spend six or eight months in school back home.

' Well, few of us in the Peace Corps were experts—or even amateurs—in education. We heeded help, and so naturally enough we asked the coUeges and universities of America to design and organize training programs for us. This was a rough challenge, I confess; we couldn't tell them exactly what we wanted because we didn't know ourselves. We threw them upon whatever resources of im- agination they had. And it tur- ned out that resources of ima- gination were precisely what most of them didn't have. Pro- grams that were supposed to teach people a working know- ledge of a language in 13 weeks were condicted at the pace of a four-year college language course. Programs that were supposed to immerse people in an alien culture were conducted by professors of the same kind our trainees had been studying under for years lecturing in the same kind of environment our trainees had been living.in for four years. As for training in skills—well, I suppose I can't fault universities for not having expert well-drillers or latrine diggers on their facul- ties (Although you'd think, they might have some people who knew how to teach teaching), but I can fault them for not being able to locate somewhere people

most colleges and universities could right now. We not only teach languages faster and more ef- fectively than any university -does, but we teach perhaps 100 languages no university teach- es. We teach cultures more perceptively than any university does. There are dozens of skills that we can teach in 13 weeks.

Now the reason I have gone on this long on the subject is not to pat the Peace Corps on the back for its training pro- grams—which, as I have said, still leave much to be desired— or to heap coals of fire upon academia — although I dont mind giving it a hotfoot—but to suggest that when students rebel against their alma maters they are likely to have more on their minds than dormitory privil- eges or on-campus industrial recruiting or freedom of speech or pot. If I hear them rightly, they are saying that they want a voice in how universities are run because they don't be- lieve that when it comes to the universities' main job, edu- cation, they are run well enough. And if that's what they're say- ing, I agree.

Which brings me to what I take to be trie second most important grievance young peo- ple have today: not being treat- ed like adults. Once again it Is in the universities that this grievance is strongest, because it is in the universities that physically and emotionally mature men and women are kept in childish conditions of economic, intellectual and psy- chological dependence. They are not given the responsibility they are fit for and entitled to;

. they are not given the sense that they are participating sign- ificantly in the world's work. It seems to me that the most effective single step that could be taken to make young people- or at least students—feel more a part of the society they live in would be not only to give them a greater voice than they have iiTthe management of universities, but to integrate university activities far more

the life of the community. For the cloistered, inward-

looking university may have been a sensible model thirty years ago, when higher edu- cation was undertaken only by the exceptionally privileged or exceptionally gifted, but it makes little sense today when higher education is all but com- pulsory. Most young people in colleges are not there because they love learning, but because they need college to get the jobs they want; If they had their druthers they'd be out enjoying the working world, not sitting at the feet of trie pedants in ivy-covered halls.

In an interview that appeared .in the New York Times yes- terday, Charles Abrams said .that a university should have three functions, education, re- search and service. I agree, and I will venture to add that if education is a function uni- versities do not perform all too often for the benefit of special political or commer- cial interests, service to the community is a function they perform hardly at all. Let me guote Mr. Abrams, "Un- less the university involves it- self in service, eventually it will be Ignored ... If It does Involve itself, it will help set- tle the student problem. The student wants to be involved. Students are activists. They want to be of service."

As one example of the kind of service universities can per- form for the community, Mr. Abrams cited the work of the East Harlem Planning Studio, a joint venture of East Harlem neighborhood groups and stu- dents in Columbia's division of urban planning, which he heads. The Studio has been working on vest-pocket parks, backyard beauttflcation sch- emes, converting town houses into neighborhood centers and a variety of other projects. That's the direction in which

Convocafion-LC

Begins 138th Year

With the coming of Fall Quar- ter, there begins at L.C. the strongest intramural com- petition of the year. Already the intramural football teams have begun preparation for the opening kick off on Tuesday, October 8, 1968. The opening game will pit Sigma Nu Pi against what looks to be a very strong independent team.

Although the competition this year will probably be the strongest between Pi Delta Kap- pa and Gamma Phi Alpha, there can be no prediction at this point as to who will capture the championship trophy. The Independents will have to their advantage the most depth and weight of any team in compet- ition, and they have the po- tential of becoming the team to beat this year. Sigma Nu will also field a strong team after using last season as a building year. They have the ability and certainly the spirit to come out on top.

The second game of the new season will be on Thursday and will be a continuation of a great

Just Grazing rivalry carried over from last year, with Pi Delta Kappa ver- sing Gamma Phi Alpha. The Delts lost only three men from last year's squad and have re- placed them without any loss of potential. The Goblins of Gamma Phi will also field a very strong team missing only three or four of last year's standouts. This meeting be- tween the Delts and Goblins might very well set the pattern for the remainder of the season as both teams will have the ability to play either hard nosed root, hog, or die or wide open and high scoring football, and you may rest assured that you will see plenty of bom this year in intramural football down on the *turf of L. C.'s Rahdookey Stadium.

Turning now to basketball, Coach Mariotti's Panthers have their work cut out for them if they hope to better last year's record of 18 wins and 10 losses. Play this year in the G.LC„ will be even better than last year's and it looks like our Panthers will be in the thick of

it all. The highlight of this year's rugged schedule will be the team's trip to Hattiesburg, Miss, to take on William Carey.

After looking at the team and the schedule, The Hilltop News joins Coach Marriotti in pre- dicting a very successful season for the L. C. Panthers of 1968- 69.

The American college, "the greatest free forum on earth", stands in danger of being th- warted or even destroyed unless students and professors are "extraordinarily responsible in the use of their freedom."

This was the warning of Dr. Felix C. Robb of Atlanta, dir- ector of the Southern Associa- tion of CoUeges and Schools, at the convocation officially opening LaGrange College's 138th academic year.

The freedom to exchange ideas has survived in Ameri- ca's system of high education of 300 years despite increas- ing and constant pressures to deny it, according to Dr. Robb. "It will be a sad day if aca- demic freedom is curtailed."

Speaking to a student-Fac- ulty assembly at the college, Dr. Robb also expressed his concern for the state and nat- ion's private church-supported coUeges.

"There is a vast need for greater financial support by the churches for their insti- tutions," he continued. "We cannot afford to do without these coUeges.

"Even the freedom of the pub- lic institutions of this state and every state in the union depend upon the continued health and existance of these private in- dependent institutions such as LaGrange College."

Dr. Robb, who directs the accrediting agency for schools of all levels throughout the 11- state Southern region, caUed upon the students to inform their parents and home churches of the perilous situation of the church-related institutions.

"I am concerned," he con- tinued, "with the health and strength and, indeed, the sur- vival of the whole private sec- tor of American life —of which this and other private church- related institutions are a very significant part."

Dr. Robb described the American college as "citadel of teaching and learning, a mon- itoring station for our society's health and condition, a service center for the local and world community, and the best avail- able discoverer of new know- ledge."

Because the year 2,000 is only 32 years away "and most of you students will be living then," the LC convocation

speaker predicted some of the changes which appear imminent on the higher education scene.

"There will be a closer re- lationship between the worlds of works and knowledge," Dr. Robb said. People will re- main students most of their lives, moving from the cam- pus to the application of their education and then back to the college again for new know- ledge.

The accrediting agency offic- ial also foresaw more inde- pendence — accompanied by more responsibility — for stu- dents and professors. He said these groups wiH participate more in the formation of col- lege polices and campus rules.

"It won't be easy for us old-timers to take," Dr. Robb said, "but it may be the sal- vation of higher education if we can aU work together re- sponsibly."

Dr. Robb suggested that the coUege of the future will have less regidity in curriculum and courses, and very little lecfa:- ing.

Instead, "there will be more reliance on the teacher as a catalyst and guide" as one tru- ly seeks an education for him- self.

He also predicted that instead of education teaching facts and figures, the colleges will em- phacize human values and be- havior and how man can learn to better live together.

The rebirth and revital- ization of Christian centers and other agencies of a social nat- ure around the college campus also was predicted. He said "these will work more coop- eratively with our educational institutions to fill the void be- tween knowledge and religion."

Ington a part of one of his cour- ses. Those students learned sociology with their eyes and ears and noses and arms and legs and hearts, not just with their heads.

And may I add that a power- ful force in influencing both un- iversities and communities to work more closely together could be business and industry and the professions, whose members sit on university boards and are leading citizens In the country's university cities and towns.

Finally, I know I must, in a gathering of this kind, comment briefly on what I have found the attitude of young people toward business to be. Certainly bus- iness is" not overwhelmingly popular among the young people I know best, Peace Corps Vol- unteers. Only some 12 per cent of the 25,000 who have returned from overseas have gone into business—which, to my mind, is a great loss to you, since they're the best young people- in the country.

I agree with Mr. Roper that young men and women are dis- • turbed about the morality of

business, and I'm absolutely sure that thaf s not a proble business can solve by mani- pulating its image. For the heart of hte matter is that by the standards of many young people, business is im- moral beyond the power of a public-relations man to con- ceal or to alter; the automo- bile industry vis a vis safety; the tobacco industry vis a vis lung cancerj the trucking in- dustry vis a vis freeways; the pharmaceutical industry vis a vis profit margins; the oil in- dustry vis a vis depletion al- lowances. Well, I need not go on. Perhaps the pendulum will swing, and the next generation of youths will not be put off by such matters the way this gen- eration is. I hope that doesn't happen though. Td rather see business raise its moral sights.

But, in a way, I think the most damning thing about the re- lations between young people and business is that young people don't appear to be near- ly as angry at business as they are at the government or the political parties or the univer- sities or the press. I can only account for this with the hypo- thesis that what business does is not disappointing to young people because their expec- tation of business is low. Some- thing that is terribly hard, and terribly important, to remem- ber about this generation of un- iversity students is that they can afford to be contempous a- bout money. They are the child- ren of the affluent society. They have never known adepression. They have never known personal economic hardship. They see poverty only as a condition in which a minority of Americans are unnecessarily and shame- fully imprisoned by a wicked and sclerotic establishment. And so many of them simply can't or won't see working for money— for profits—asaninterestingor even as ar especially neces- sary, vocation, and they can'tor won't see buisness as an es- pecially worthwhile institution. That is why, I think, business seldom makes today's young people angry the way it made was one of them. Whatever business does today, young people, as my grandmother used to say "take it from whence it comes'." And if that is true, men business indeed must think about fundamental reforms not just in its institutions and its

Assembly Review BY YVONNE BLEDSOE

The 138th Academic year of LaGrange College was begun Wednesday morning October 2, at the 10:00 a.m. convocation in the L.C. gymnasium. The seniors scheduled to be mem- bers of the class of '69 were honored during the student-fa- culty assembly, addressed by Dr. Felix C. Robb of Atlanta, Georgia.

Dr. Robb, director of South- ern Association of Colleges and Schools sounded a warning to the L.C. faculty and student body to safeguard the use of their ac- ademic freedom, less the Ame- rican College should be thwart- ed or even destroyed. He ex- pressed his concern over the indifference of many college students and faculty members in regard to the problems on campus and around the world.

Outstanding students who were elected to represent the college in the 1969 edition of "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Col- leges" were announced. They are seniors: John Thomas Bay- nard of St. Petersburg.Florida, Alice Judith Brooks of Atlanta, Garland Keith Gudger of Green- ville, Earl Gile Holmes, Jr.of New Castle, Kentucky, Marga- ret Florence Lunsford of El-

berton, Mary Ann McLendon of Forest Park, Ernest Eugene Miller, Jr. of Clarkston, Elmo Murray Newlin of LaGrange, Philip Gerald Thackerof Smyr- na; Junior: Jeanne Marie Black- burn of Orlando, Fla; and grad- uate Mrs. Kathryn Harwell Hunter of LaGrange and Clark- ston.

The speaker also stressed the need for increased support of church-related colleges by the churches. Dr. Robb challenged the students to inform their pa- rents and local churches of the dangerous situation the church- related schools are in today.

The speaker left his audience with predictions of &e changes of the academic life of the col- leges in the year 2000. He said that the students would travel from one coUege to another seeking knowledge, applying toe knowledge in some way, and then seeking once more newer know- ledge. He also predicted more independence and more respon- sibility of the students and fa- culty.

President Dr. Waights G. Henry commended the speaker on his fine talk and dis- missed the group with a clos- ing prayer.

behavior, but most particularly in its values and its goals.That I think, is the challenge, indeed the opportunity, youth today is giving you.

And on that cheery note, I'll stop haranguing you and let you cross examine me.

Art Exibitien Opens LaGrange College's 1968-69

schedule of art exhibition open- ed Sunday Oct. 6, In the Hawkes Hall Gallery featuring a new- comer to the local art scene.

Works by Miss Carolyn A. Page, a native of Miami and now art instructor for the Callaway Educational Association, were shown on the L.C. Campus, op- ening with a reception on Sun- day afternoon.

Some 20 works, including acrylics, watercolors, and a mixture of other media, by Miss page were included in the ex- hibition.

Miss Page says that in her work she starts with an idea but then carries it out intuit- ively. "I face nature and in- terpret it into visual statement which conveys my own reac- tion in terms of space and im- age relationships."

The 23 year old artist grad- uated in 1966 with a bachelor of arts degree at Agnes Scott College. She then did graduate study at the University of Ga., graduating with a master of fine arts last spring.

Miss Page received a merit award last February at the Fifth Annual Callaway Gardens Art Exhibition. Her acrylic and dye work was entitled "Refuge on the joyous Side." She also has exhibited at Agnes Scott, Emory University and the Uni- versity of Georgia.

During the past summer Miss page taught in the Governor's Honors Program for out- standing high school students in Macon.

Miss Page's exhibitions will continue through November 1. Daily gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Other exhibitions scheduled are:

Nov. 10-Dec. 6—Painting by Joel Reeves of Atlanta, Dean of Atlanta School of Arts;

Jan. 12-March 1—Paintings and graphics by Eric Purves of LaGrange , assistant professor of art at LaGrange College;

I see the qualities at LC that I hope to discover. As a fresh- man I feel it is up to us, the students, to make LC great and to uphold the traditions of the past. I believe it can be done.

By Donna Nelms

Coming to LC this fall from student teaching at the Univer- sity of Georgia is Mr. Ernie Gust, Assistant Professor of History.

Originally from Los Angeles, Professor Gust now lives about fifteen miles outside of La- Grange with his wife. Professor Gust was married at the age of nineteen. When asked what he -thought of marriage at an early age he replyed that such matters are better left to the individual.

Professor Gust brings a mes- sage of hope to students at The Hill, informing us that the rules at LaGrange CoUege concern- ing female students are more liberal than those of the Athens campus at the University of Georgia.

Professor Gust told us that he has to eat at the Burger Chef to get a good cup of coffee during lunch. Qfou can make your own inferences.)

If any student is looking for someone who is not going to put them down they should vis- it Mr. Gust, rates are cheap. The new LC Prof, has great faith in the worth of the Youn- ger generation. "For the first time, kids are concerned with something more than swallow- ing gold fish or seeing how many babies they can stuff into a phone booth." Professor Gust doesn't think students are going

He thinks that the dry of LaGrange is a traditionally oriented soc- iety, the students on the Hill are willing to accept new trends of thought. The students here are also more interested in scholastic activities than at the University of Georgia at Athens. They are less materialistic and place less emphasis on extra- curricular activities.

ucation the students who attend the independent schools."

To offset rising tuition char- ges, Dr. Henry recommended state tuition subsides of perhaps $750 and $500, respectively,for students attending non-tax sup- ported senior and junior col- leges in Georgia.

The state might also foUow the lead of other states in pro- viding financial assistance to save its independent schools by such methods as state income tax credit for tuition payments, permitting private institutions to issue tax-exempt bonds for construction of educational buUdings, or even buUding dor- mitories with tax funds.

The LC President pointed out that "objective observers have already concluded that no smaU part of the strength of America lies in a dual system of educa- tion that tends to meet not only individual needs, but the needs of government, business, industry, and all social insti- tutions."

"Every aspect of the pro- gressive life of the state of Georgia is in debt to both the public and private coUeges and universities. The debt to the private schools is tremen-

. dous." , The independent colleges,ac-

cording the Dr. Henry, have re- cognized without complaint the necessity on the part of the tax- supported institutions that they raise funds from the private sectors of business, industry, and foundations to supplement salaries and certain programs.

"If this is know to be ne- cessary,"Dr. Henry concluded, "then it should be as patiently recognizable that the indepen- dent schools are going to have to have financial assistance be-• yond what is now available to them through student fees,in- come from Umited endowment, and gifts from business,indus- try and foundations."
