Students To Work On Faculty Committees?

A recommendation of the advisory council and approved by the faculty has brought under consideration the allowing of students to serve on certain committees. This has been approved and the details are now being worked ouL

This is the motion which was brought up:

There may be student repre- sentation on faculty committees. The student representatives must be seniors in good standing as certified by the Registrar and selected by the Student Govern- ment Association. The number of student representatives shall be limited to one student for each sub-committee. This will not apply to the Student Con- duct sub-committee, of the Stu- dent Affairs Committee.

Woodrow Wilson Nominees Announced

The Woodrow Wilson nomi- nees from LaGrange College for the 1968-69 class are John Hen- ry Collings, Jr. (mathematics) and Philip Gerald Thacker (English).

The purpose of this award is to place the names of those se- lected on a list sent to graduate schools throughout the U. S. The graduate schools pick from this list those which they feel would benefit from scholarships and grants.

Religious Emphasis Week

Dr. Richard E. Blanchard will be featured at this year's relig- ious emphasis week Nov. 18-20. There will be required atten-

LC Students Plan Inner- City Program

A group of students from this college is working with the Rev- erend Kent of the Dixie Meth- odist Church to form an Inner- City Program for LaGrange. This is planned primarily for grammar school and junior high school children. They plan to open a recreation center, a few blocks from the Pepperell mill, at the beginning of Win- ter Quarter. Eventually it is planned for this building to have a television, facilities for teach- ing elementary home economics, a small library of children's books, various games, and an area for tutoring.

The group has an executive committee with Frank Key, chairman; Susan Montgomery, co-chairman; Claudia Brown, secretary-treasurer. Other mem- bers of the group are Emily Hitchcock, Donna Johns, Linda Ann Short, Bob Tindall, Ardiur Clayton, Joyce Fountain, Mary.

LOVELY KIT WHITNER, a 5'9" blonde from LaGrange, was named Homecoming Queen at LaGrange College Saturday and reigned over the day's traditional activities and festivities. A grad- uate of LaGrange High School, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Whitner of 312 Broad Street is majoring in elementary education at the college. She is currendy student teaching at Daw- son School and is scheduled to receive her degree in June.

Kit Whitner Is 1968 HOMECOMING QUEEN Despite rain, cold, and lack of sleep, diis past Homecoming Weekend was a big success.

Many hours of work in die rain late at night went into the floats, so it is hoped that every- one saw die floats even widiout a parade. Congratulations are due to the Gamma Phi Alpha fraternity for winning first prize with Donald Duck, to Sigma Nu Pi for winning second prize widi a steamboat, and to Pi Delta Kappa for winning first prize for die best car.

Although the rain caused much disorganization and confusion the dance was held as scheduled. Everyone there enjoyed the music by Tommy James and the Shondells, when they got around to playing. At die dance the Homecoming Queen and her court were pre- sented for those who had not previously seen diem. Congratulations to Jeanne Marie Black- burn, third runner-up; Sandy Shields, second runner-up; Debbie Mays, first runner-up; Nancy Kight, Maid of Honor; and the 1968 Homecoming Queen, Kit Whitner.

Editorial

The hassle over the new student center has been brought up again and again so the Hilltop News has decided to clar- ify its standing on the matter. The facts are the following: The entire project should have been completed by the begin- ning of this current quarter. Thus far work is still being done on it. The entire problem seems to lie with the archi- tect who designed the student center. The item listed as cus- tom door jams seems to be what the hold up has occurred over. Custom door jams have to be custom made thus mak- ing for higher cost and excessive time. Why interior work was not done even though the door was not finished is any- body's guess. The contractor handling the job is local and there were probably more problems involved with the archi- tect but one thing should be agreed on for upcoming projects on the "Ten Year Plan." The contractor and the architect should work together so that there will be no delay and that both should allow ample time so that any project that is started should be finished on time. If this is not done the "Ten Year Plan" should be changed to the "Hundred Year Plan."

we're too lazy to write 'em ourselves, If we don't we're stuck on our own stuff. If we make changes in the other fellow's

Have Facts, Will Slander A most necessary part of student education is to be up to date

on the times and events of the community of the college. LaGrange College has failed miserably in their attempt to keep up with the times. Let's face it, the administration is composed of various minds with many differentiated views. This is only natural and healthy. But, why can they not for once bring their superior heads together and get the clocks in this school up to date with the rest of the nation. The town goes by one time, the caf- eteria by another, Manget by another. Then all three floors in Manget have their own idea as to what the correct time should be. In a space age world and a time of much confusion, I ask you the administration, should we the students of today and the leaders of tomorrow, have to put up with your ap- parent lack of interest in us? Please get the clocks right with the times before it is too late.

The '68 LaGrange basketball team is said to be in really great shape for the up and coming games this year and are ready to tackle anyone. Cocah Mariotti is putting the players through extensive practices every day to get the boys in top condition. The Panthers' first game will be with Columbus College on November 20th here at LaGrange, and Mariotti says that it will be

a hard one but is confident that his boys will come through. There are quite a few players that are here from last year that might make up the team: Ed Whitener, Lamar Adams, Glend Traylor, John Collins, Garland Gudger, Mike Rainey, Al Stroud, and Ike Doll. There are some fine new players this year too who are doing a fine job: Clay Clark, Shannon Cook, Ronnie ! Mason, Dan Mink, Mike Still and Scott Wiseman. It looks like a great year for the Panthers so let's get out and support them whenever we can!

"Tartuffe" Caught With Pants Down The dramatic production "Tartuffe," by Moliere, was presented

in Dobbs Auditorium at LaGrange College on November 7-9, 1968. This is a play dealing with the religious hypocrite and imposter, Tartuffe, who uses his "religion" as the means of gain- ing money, covering deceit, and promoting self-indulgence. He is taken up by one Orgon, a man of property, who promises him his daughter in marriage, but when his character is exposed, he is not only turned out of the house but is lodged in jail for felony. It is thought that "Tartuffe" is a caricature of Pere la Chaise, the confessor of Louis XIV. Isaac Bickerstalf first adapted Moliere's comedy to the English stage under the title of "The Hypocrite."

Moliere was a French playwright, famous for his satirical com- edies holding up to ridicule the follies and pretenses of social types and individuals of his day, and for his studies of character. He was influenced by the Roman comedies of Terence and Plau- tus, as well as the Italian Comedy of Masks.

Moliere's works include "L'Ecole Des Femmes"; "Le Festin De Pierre"; "Le Bourgeoise Gentilhomme"; "Tartuffe", which was for- bidden after its first performance and, revised, was finally per- mitted to be acted again in 1669. Moliere also wrote many other plays too numerous to be listed herein.

The objective of "Tartuffe" is to satirize the religious hypocrites and social illnesses of all times. This theme is implicit throughout the play and familiar to everyone who is in any degree schooled in the theater.

The production that was seen on November 8, was one which gave the audience no credit whatsoever for having any knowledge of drama or the theater. Surely the portrayal of Tartuffe could have been no less effective had neon lights been installed on the stage telling the audience every tiling they were supposed to think. Perhaps this was intentional, but nevertheless, it is inexcusable* when the nature of die audience is considered.

From the opening moments of the play it became obvious that on this particular evening this production fell flat on its face. The recorded sound effects would have sounded better coming from a $1.98 Sears Roebuck stereo system. Not only was the music at the beginning too long, but added no effect to the pro- duction as a whole.

Major roles were portrayed by Butch Miller, Alice Brooks, Lucius Harwell, Marianne Clarkson, Joe Hubbard, Lucia Carr, Robert Hand, Margaret Lunsford, and Wally Staff.

On numerous occasions the actors broke character. In fact, only occasionally did one recognize anyone to be in character. Whether this too was planned or not is unknown, but surely it must have resulted from a lack of discipline on behalf of those involved.

The set, rather simple in itself, was somewhat one-sided in its design, but when only two characters were on stage and they both remained on the'heavy"side, this became, inexcusable

From the beginning of this production the audience was pelted with a series of shoutings, cane tapping, mutiled speech, and the weakest diction ever assembled under one roof. Not only could they not be understood, but the pitch was enough to shatter ear drums, and I might add I didn't sit on the front rows. Also, the machine-gun pace didn't help matters.

All in all, this was possibly the weakest production of the last four or five years, but none the less it had some good points. Several of the actors managed at times to revive the spark of life that was bred in this play. Brighter moments were provided by Wally Staff, Margaret Lunsford, Robert Hand and Monty Mon- tanari. But this spark never managed to take hold and ignite the production into the success that it so easily could have been. To sum it up, the character Marianne's statement that she wished to become a missionary in some lonely, far-away region rather than to marry Tartuffe, if granted, would have been a blessing to everyone, provided she had taken the whole production with her.

But to end with a sour note is unforgivable. This past summer the LaGrange Speech and Drama department presented one of its finest college productions ever, "Look Homeward Angel," a play based on the life of Thomas Wolfe. Indeed, LaGrange Col- lege theatergoers will be looking forward to the winter production "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying," with the knowledge that the vitality of the summer stock may once again shine.

The Gamma Phi Bluebirds, still undefeated, met with the Pi Delt' Pub Club in their never ending batde for blood. Pi Delt' scored first on a pass play from Steve Gamble to Curtis McBee, making the score 7-0. Gamma Phi came back with an inter- ception by Froggy to make the score 7-6 with no extra point. Joe Freeman on a long pass play from Snuffy gave the Gam- ma Phi team 6 more points. Snuffy ended the scoring with a run and locker with the extra point to make the final score 19-7.

On November 9th, our Home- coming, die Pi Delt' team of to- day met with the Pi Delt Alumni in a mud slinging contest. Sat- urday was the perfect day for a football game, a light drizzle with the temperature of about 45 degrees. The playing field was like a slip and slide and end sweeps were impossible. Dave Vittum trying to call the game fairly was continually threatened with his life. There was continual beating and thrashing about the Pi Delt' players' bodies and not much blood was seen. Most of the players ended up in die infir- mary with caked on clay and

deep set colds, but as expected the present day Pi Delt' team came through with a 32-27 victory.

On October 28, the undefeated Gamma Phi's met with the In- dy's for the second game to-

gether. On Gamma Phi's first set of downs Snuffy made a bad handoff and put die Indy's on the scoreboard with 2 points. The Indy's held die Gamma Phi Bluebirds at the half with a score of 2-0. The trouble really started the second quarter with die first touchdown by Pat Mc- Ray, the second by Snuffy on a long run and a third by Froggy making that part of the score 20-2. With fumbles, intercep- tions, and luck the final score was Gamma Phi 38, and the Indy's 2.

The Lidy's had to play two games that week and the second was with Sigma Nu. The Indy's almost scored in the first few plays of the game, but the Sig- ma Nu Newcomers held making the score at the half 0-0. In the second half Mike Timmons threw a long pass giving the Sigma Nu team a 7-0 lead. Wil- bur Mills, replacing Dave Vit- tum, rallied back with a pass to Rick Mabry, and a beauti- ful pitch out to Billy Mims to end the game with the Indy's winning 14-7.
