Women Students' Dress Revised

BY CASSIE HERNDON Women students may now wear regulation shorts at supper

on week nights and Saturdays during the entire year. The action, voted unanimously last week by the Legislative Council, then passed the faculty's Student Affairs Committee. The term "regulation e r m

shorts" in the revised rule Is defined by the Legislature's committee on standards as "shorts with finished hems coming at least to the mid- point of the thigh." This clear- ly excludes cut-off blue jeans ad short shorts. Dean John R. Love, a mem-

ber of the faculty committee,, stated that the change will be in effect on a trial basis until Spring quarter. If at that time it is concluded that the women students are not respecting the limitations of the rule, it will be rescinded.

Observed Dean Love, "I hope that the students will appreciate this enough and abide by the laws so we won't have to change It back.

EXCEPTION The one exception to the new

privilege will be on occasions when important visitors are expected on campus. At such time it will be announced at supper the preceding night and at lunch

Quadrangle Sales Begin

Miss Linda Long, editor of the 1966 Quadrangle, announced recently that the sale of yearbooks will begin today from 10 a.m. to 12 noon In the student center.

Miss Long added that ann- uals will be sold every Monday at the same times throughout the quarter.

The price for the year- book is five dollars and It may be paid for in two in- stallments.

The editor also said that individual pictures willbemade in the parlor of Turner next Monday and Tuesday. These

pictures have been paid for by the student's activities fee.

on the day i» question that skirts or dresses must be worn.

MEN'S DRESS RULE Men students' dress was also

considered by the Student Af- fairs Committee. It was decided that to attend classes, men must wear socks, and their shirt tails must be tucked in at all times.

"The Untouchable Sound" of The Bill Black Cmmbo will entertain for Lc's 1965-66 Home- coming Dance it was announced last week by Mrs. CarolynBur- gess, director of alumni activities, and Chip Fortenberry, student Homecoming chairman.

"1 am very pleased that we were able to retain this out- standing show band for the dan- Mrs. Burgess said. "This fine

group", she continued, "will easily make this year's dance as successful as was last year's."

Fortenberry said that he "was very pleased with the group chosen. We can't miss with this top name entertain- ment", he said.

The Combo, which just finish, ed touring with The Beatles through the country, is known for its recording ability. It has served such stars as Gene Pitney, Johnny Tillotson, Roy Orbison, and Roy Hamilton in recording sessions.

The group has toured with an endless list of stars and groups including Pitney, Bryan Hyland, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Vic Dana, The Cry- stals, Doby Gray, and Billy Joe Royal.

Bill Black's Combo is one of the few entertainers to remain for any length of time in the ever-changing field of popular

music. This characteristic of the combo is due to Bill Black's amazing insight into the tastes of the record buying public. Black arranges and com- poses nearly everything the

group records. Mrs. Burgess announced that

tickets to the dance will go on sale next week in the Student Center, the college- bookstore, and Mansours downtown.

Mrs. Burgess also said she was happy to announce that tickets will be only $3.50 a couple and $2.00 stag compared with last year's $4.50 and $3.- 00.

EDITORIALS

LC students received a long-awaited vote of

confidence from the faculty and adminstration last

week with the modification of the rules on proper dress. Something inspired this confidence. However,

the source is not as important as its continued pro-

pagation. The responsible officials emphasized the

fact that the new practice will be in effect on a trial

basis until Spring quarter. When given the proverbial

inch, let us not take a mile-

Students are always getting in their little groups

and expressing their opinions about what's wrong

with LaGrange College. Many times they criticize the

"crummy" editorials in The Hilltop News. As editor of The Hilltop News I wish to extend

an invitation to LaGrange students to express their

opinions, criticisms and maybe even praises in writ-

ing. The staff will print what we think you want to

know and should know. You can help with letters to

the editor. All signed letters to the editor can be

printed They should not be more than 250 words in

length and typed- But at no time will a letter be

published which is a personal attack on a student, a member of the faculty or administration. Letters may

be deposited in the campus mail addressed to The Hilltop News or to the editor. I hope that as many

students as possible will take advantage of this means to express their likes and dislikes so that we of The

Hilltop News can put out a better students' paper.

Another Trouble

Spot In Today's

Changing World BY JOHN WHITE

The current crisis between India and Pakistan dates back beyond and deeper than the squabble over Kashmir. At the root of the present conflict is the struggle for recognition by India's military establishment.

NBC Correspondent for West Germany, Wells Hangan, who spent six years in the Indian post, discussed this aspect of the present conflict with this reporter.

According to Hangan.India's military suffered humiliation several years ago when the Red Chinese defeated India in a border clash. As a result the military leaders of India have endeavored to find a way of redeeming their lost prestige.

Hangan says that when small bands of rebels moved into Kashmir from Pakistan the mill, tary saw an opportunity that they thought was almost sure- fire. The only thing that they had not counted on was Pakis- tan's strength.

Apparently they felt that they could defeat Pakistan in short order. Pakistan, remembering old wounds, bitterly fought back. At the center of the fighting is Kashmir, which both India and Pakistan claim. An under- ground network in both coun- tires is working constantly to make tiny Kashmir a part of its own nation.

A simple solution for the whole problem would be to hold an election and let the people of Kashmir themselves decide the issue. Both India and Pakistan, however, distrust each .other and fear that an election would go against them. Thus, a stale- mate exists.

In recent weeks Pakistan has been calling for an election to settle the question. Most in- formed sources feel that this call is purely for propaganda and if India did agree to hold an election Pakistan would quickly find some excuse for backing out.

Most observers believe that when both countries get tired of playing war or when Red China begins putting real pressure on India the present conflict will simpy revert to status quo and everything will be all smiles again ... at least on the surface.

Confetti...

In the spirit of last year's gambit, this column will try to provide food for thought with conversational straws i n the wind.

A remark heard recently was "Ya can't even buy a &—(— hotdog downtown on a Wed- nesday afternoon!'' While this is stretching a point it seems to be a distillation of many thoughts concerning LaGrange merchants and their mid - week closing.

In the old days our town shopkeepers had a practice of shutting down their operations Wednesday afternoon during the summer "Slump". Gradually the practice crept into the rest of the year until today we have a tradition which seems rather anachornistic.

The problem is not really as backward as it may seem, however. In some cities, such as Atlanta, some merchants close up on Saturday afternoons while their LaGrange counter- parts remain open. It has further been found that the prac-

tice works well as a courtesy to employees.

As somber as the prospect may sound, though, there are some stores which remain open .. so if you need any kitchen sinks ...

In the wake of the disastrous volcanic eruption in the Phil- lipines the news media reported that our thoughtful President has dispatched a volcano ex- pert to the stricken area. The action gave rise to comments like ..." now with this big cork!"

A new campus improvement has been suggested by our ever active Campus Improvement Section. Impressed by a flash- ing "Full" sign at the entrance to one of the big city airport parking lots, he suggested the same sort of thing for the driveway into the lot behind Broad Street.

The only drawback seems to be that it might keep the house- mother awake during the night .. and it would be all night .. right gang ...

A Typical L. C. Student.!? BY HUGH DUSKIN

The typical LaGrange Col- lege student is a creature found between the gawkiness of early adolescence and the dignity of full adulthood. He comes in assorted sizes, weights, and ages, but seems to have the sam creed: to enjoy every minute of every hour of every day; to delay doing class assignements and term papers; to anticipate forthcoming weekends; to en- gage in all-night bull sessions; to do the right thing at the wrong time and the wrong thing at the righttime; to spend money • extravagantly, and to complain incessantly. The LC student is found everywhere, on tables or the patio, up and down the steps, at the Nite Owl, at Homer's, or in the bed.

Our typical student likes the opposite sex, cars, parties, mail, our new dean of students, the opposite sex, as little work as possible, the bed, unlimited cuts, weekend trips;

our new dean's secretary, and last but certainly not least the opposite sex.

The LC prototype is not much for getting up early, breakfast

Thoughts On Happiness Happiness is the goal of every

person in the world. To some it means just one good square meal a day; to some it just means watching others be happy, and of course there are sad- istic people that enjoy seeing others suffer. In America it takes more to make people happy because we take much of what we have for granted.

Happiness is a short line in the cafeteria.

Happiness is getting a term paper in on time.

Happiness is having my back scratched.

Happiness is having the dorm quiet after 11:00 P.M.

Happiness is having enough copy for this newspaper. What is happiness to you?

Tickets For Pop

Concert Available Tickets go on sale today

at two campus locations for next Saturday's pop concert in LaGrange starring the Beau Brummels, Charlie Rich and the Martiniques.

Both the college Book Store and the News Service Office in Smith Hall have limited num- bers of tickets, Alan Thomas of the sponsoring LaGrange Jay- cees said.

Saturday's concert at 8 p.m. in Callaway Auditorium is expected to attract a capacity plus crowd. Last January, 1, 800 tickets were sold for the Jaycees first pop concert.

The Beau Brummels, a west coast group, record for Autumn Records and recently completed their first motion picture entitled "The Village of the Giants." The group has appeared on such television shows as "Shindig," "Hullabal- oo," and the "Lloyd Thaxton Show."

Appearing with the four Beau Brummels will be recording star Charlie Rich of Mem- phis, a star on the Smash la- bel and the five-piece band, the Martiniques, under the dir- ection of Jack Martin.

Wednesday is the last date for students to but tickets to the 1965-66 LaGrange Mutual Concert Series featuring Peter Nero.

Other attractions include harpist Mildred Dilling, tenor Eugene Talley-Schmidt and so- prano Jeanette Pecarrello.

Ticket holders will also be able to attend three concerts in nearby Carrollton with- out further cost. No tickets will be available for individual concerts.

Concert tickets are on sale today by the MENC group and the News Service Of- fice in Smith Hall.

Our Fair Lady On Path To Broadway

BY CHERI WOODALL LaGrange College students, you have in your midst a cele-

brity. Her name is Rosemary Neely. She is a sophomore from Pine Mountain, Ga.

Last April Rosemary read a notice on the bulletin board in Dobbs auditorium concerning try-outs to work at Theater Under the Stars at Chastain Memorial Park in Atlanta. She asked Dr. Anderson in the music department if it would be wor- th her while. He told her that even if she did not make it that it would be good experience for her. So two days later Rosemary went to the Fox Theater in Atlanta, to try out with 104 others. Four were chosen, Rosemary among them.

In June Rosemary started re- hearsals as a participant in the singing ensemble f o r the summer. Some acting and some singing and dancing were included.

She took part in six musical comedies including: "Around the World in 80 Days" with Mi- chael Rennie, "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" with Kathleen Nolan," "110 In The Shade" with Dale Robertson, "Camelot" with James Daoly, "South Pac- ific" with Janice Paige and "Ol- iver" with Ted Scott.

Commenting on her experience Rosemary said, "I had a really good time. It was a lot of fun. I met a lot of influential people-good actors and friends in professional theater and television."

Rosemary is not sure of her plans for next summer. They include work along the same line, perhaps at a different theater.

Exchange Student Has No Homesickness

LaGrange College is most honored to have here this year Sirkka Salo, a Rotary exchange student from Finland.

Sirkka will be a senior here majoring in either English or education. "I want to teach in the high school," she said. "My father is a teacher in my home town of Loimaa. He teaches religion and psychology."

Sirkka is only 20, but she has had four years of elementary school, eight years in second- ary school and three years at the University of Helsinki. She started school at the age of 5.

"Our universities require five years," she said. "When I finish at the university, I would like to study six months each in France and Germany to better learn the languages.

Her four subjects • most students are allowed only three- were German, Swedish, English

and education. She admits that she left a boy

friend in Finland, a student in the School of Economics at the University of Helsinki, but she

does not see marriage ahead after finishing school.

When asked if she had been homesick, she shook her head. "There's been so much to do and everyone is so nice I haven't had a chance."

A Reminder Freshmen and transfer stu-

dents must attend all rush parties to be eligible for bids from fraternities and sororities.

This reminder comes from Nick Flaskay, president of the Panhellenic CouncU. Flaskay emphasized , however, that a rushee could be exempt from certain of these functions pro- viding he had a "good" excuse. He went on to say that a person with such an excuse should see either himself, Chip Forten- berry or Pat Welch.

The deadline for rush party exemptions is Saturday, Octo- ber 9.

As for personal comments the girls say: "It's terrific! Just like our own apartment." "The carpets are great • no cold floors in the mornings." "Much more personal freedom than in the dormitories." "It's a privilege to be able to live here- but we need a place to bring the boys."

The Way N* MI See Them ^^^

BY BILL sports

It's nobody's fault but your own. The problem does not lie with the administration, it's the students' fault entirely. What is it?..It is the apathetic support of, LaGrange College athletic teams.

Last year the LC basketball team could have been the finest team in the conference. But no one performs to an empty au- dience.

Students cannot expect their teams to play a superior game in front of empty stands.

This year LaGrange College returns four starters from last year's team. But it will take the support of the entire student body for them to do so.

The Academic Committee of Athletics met last Wednes- day, with a group of invited students, to discuss the problem of student apathy concern-

ENGLAND Editor

ing support of the teams. This committee cannot and will not order a student to go to a ball game and cheer for hi s team. And it, or no one else, should have to do so.

The 1965-66 year is still young, but the LC courtmen are already practicing hard for the upcoming year. They have a rough road ahead of them, and they can't make it by themselves. They ask your support.

Every student should make his plans, today, to attend the opening game of the '65-66 season. This game will be on Sat- urday, November 20, here at the

LaGrange College gym. There is

no charge to students for the home games.

Let's plan now to get behind our team 100 per cent this year and help them go all the way.

How about that, sports fans?

Girls Needed In Intramurals All girls interested in play.

In playing volleyball in the in- tramural program are required to attend a meeting in the Ervm. Tuesday, at 6 P. M You must attend this meeting, if you wish to Play.

Tennis (singles) competition will begin as soon as the sche- dule is complete. If you wish

to play, your name must be turned into your sorority W.A.. A. representative. The freshman girls must see Miss Canady.

Efforts are being made to form bowling teams with five people as a team. Sororities or individual groups may be represented. See Miss Canady or Mr. Luke.

Several Surprises Hit SEC Football Unless the current wave of

upsets comes to a halt soon, this year's Southeastern Con- ference grid champ could be a real surprise.

The pre-season choices were Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, and Louisiana State with Ole Miss considered an outside pos- sibility. Yet here we are with the campaign hardly begun and the first four have already been beaten and the Rebels are in last place.

The leader, with a 2-0 mark, is the Cinderella team of the Southeast — the Georgia Bull- dogs. In second, and looking tougher every week, is Missis- sippi State which wound up in eighth place last fall.

This past Saturday did little to clarify the situation:

Georgia u p s e 15th - ranked Michigan 15-7, Florida beat 6th- ranked Louisiana State 14-7, Au- burn upset 8th-ranked Kentucky 23-18, and Alabama came from behind in the closing minutes to edge Mississippi 17-16.

In other action Saturday: Mis- sissippi State routed Tampa48- 7, Tulane upset Miami 24-16, Vanderbilt lost to Wake Forest 7-0, Georgia Tech crushed Clemson 38-6, Florida State edged Baylor 9-7 and Southern Mississippi beat Richmond 28- 7.

Tennessee and Memphis State were idle.

An Off-Beat Turn Conference action takes an

off-beat turn this week. Geor- gia will be host to Clemson and Tennessee to South Caro- lina in a pair of games that will count in the conference standings to make up for Geor- gia Tech's withdrawal from the SEC last year. League rules require members to play six conference games.

In more bonafide SEC play, Florida will be at Ole Miss and Alabama will be at Vanderbilt.

Elsewhere, in non-league games, Auburn will be host to Chattanooga, Kentucky host to Florida State, Louisiana State at Miami, Mississippi State host to Southern Mississippi, Tulane host to Georgia Tech and Mem- phis State at Tulsa.

The Georgia victory over Michigan didn't have any bear- ing on the SEC race but it is bound to give future opponents reason to be concerned about the Bulldogs who weren't expected to be a decisive factor this fall.

That Georgia's defense was sound was expected. But the Bulldogs weren't expected to roll up 254 yards against the massive Wolverines. Bob Etter, smallest man on the field at 150 pounds, led the scoring with three field goals and an extra point.

Football Time

Football is in the air again at LaGrange College. This Thursday at 4 p.m., Pi Delta Kappa and Gamma Phi Alpha will square of in the first game of the season. This is expected to be one

ofthebigest games of the year. Last year Pi Delt went undefeated and the Blue and Gold hopes

to do it again and retain their title. Gamma Phi and Sigma Nu Pi plan to see that it is different.

Cagers Work During Summer Most of LaGrange College's

basketball players were studying t h i s summer-studying either basketball or academic subjects.

Four of Coach AlMariotti's returning cagers worked as counselors in boys' camps and

taught some basketball.

Four others picked up some extra credits in summer school, while two in jobs related to athletics.

Twins David and H u g hCor. less of North Charleston, S.C.

worked part of the summer at a basketball camp in Charlottes, vllle, Va., operated by VInce Bubbas, Duke University cage coach. The remainder o f the "summer they worked with the city recreation department in their hometown.

Both Ronnie Myers of Grace- ville, Fla., and Tom Duckett of Ringgold were counselors i n boys' camps with daily opport- unities to play the roundball sport. Myers was in upper New York state; Duckett was in Gunt- ersville, Ala.

Summer scholars included Joe Phillips o f Douglasville. Glen Lord of LaGrange and Earl Marton of Albertville, Ala., all of whom remained on campus to accelerate their graduation.

However, Lord and Morton also had part-time jobs at Maddox Funeral Home and Callaway Mills Company, respectively.

Steve Fry of McCaysville, a transfer guard from the Un- iversity of Georgia freshman team, Was a transient student this summer at Young Harris

Junior College near his home.

Johnny Pike of LaGrange

worked in a grocery story here

.his summer, while Jim Jack-

son of Valdosta worked f o r a

construction company near his hometown.

When Coach Mariotti bid his

squad good-bye for the summer,

he instructed the players to

stay in condition, workout with
