Obligation The Hilltop News congratulates its newly chosen heads of

the 1963-64 staff. Theirs is a big responsibility for next year, for not only is our college expanding its interests, but our students are also becoming more aware of the role they play on this campus. The duty of the campus newspaper toward these changes and toward the student body will be one of increasing importance.

The current Hilltop News staff appeals to the student bo- dy, the faculty, and the administration to back these new staff members and all new organization leaders with your confidence and with a willingness to work in any capacity for the betterment of collegiate outlook, attitude, and re- sponsibility. Only then, with your united support, will their efforts to serve LaGrange College be successful.

Action In Campus Improvements The Hilltop News commends the faculty committees

that are working to evaluate the various programs of our college. In these committees much time and careful consid- eration is given to pointing out the valuable characteristics and the weaknesses of campus functions and in proposing changes for those phases of our collegiate system that need improvement.

In a student assembly last Wednesday, Dean C. Lee Har- well presented a report from the committee that studied the problems of student assembly programs suggesting changes in programming and in procedures. If these proposals are put into effect, our chapel and student assembly programs will be made more valuable for both students and faculty.

We feel that if an individual or an organization sees that there is room for improvement in any part of the college program, a suggestion correctly' channelled through the dean's office would get to the related committee and might promote further action in campus improvements. As work continues in faculty committees, suggestions — of compli- mentary and of critical nature — would probably be wel- comed by any of these groups.

by MICHAEL BROWN

This is the second in a series of articles designed to tell you some- thing about the Alumni Associa- tion of LaGrange College: what it is, how it works, and what it tries to do. Last week's article spoke of the composition of the group; this week's deals with its aims and activities.

The primary purpose of the Alumni Association is to work for the advancement of LaGrange College. This effort takes many forms and is implemented through a variety of programs, some of which are conducted on a nation- al level while others are handled by the local clubs.

The most important of these programs is the one that solicits alumni contributions to the "Liv- ing Endowment Campaign." This is an annual fund drive that seeks

| to make available to the college, on a regular basis, a substantial sum of 'money to be used in any way the school deems appropriate.

The Laving Endowment Cam- paign is a relatively young pro- gram.. It was started in 1959 when contributions tataled only $2,260.- 00. Since then a great deal of pro- gress has been made. Each year's total has surpassed that of the year before,

The Living Endowment Pro- gram is the channel through whi- ch loyal alumni express their con- tinuing interest in LaGrange Col- lege, and there is every reason to believe that in the years to come th program will develop into a vital and meaningful source of fi- nancial support for the college.

But the Alumni Association does much more than raise money.

The HILLTOP NEWS welcomes expressions from read- ers in comment on editorials and on all subjects of current interest. Letters should not exceed 300 words in length, pre- ferably typewritten. To be published, they must bear the name of the writer. Names will be withheld on request. However, letters dealing in personalities cannot be publish- ed unsigned.

C & S Bank Of LaGrange MEMBER FOIC

One of its very important func- tions is to provide the means by which former students of the col- lege may keep in touch with the friends they made here, by hear- ing news of them and periodically renewing acquaintances at the events and reunions that are ar- ranged by the Association. For al- most everyone, graduation means separation from cherished friends, so the Alumni Association' by publishing a magazine and numer- ous news letters each year, by sponsoring events like Homecom- ing and frequent class reunions, and by supporting local commun- ity clubs, tries to retain among its members something of the spirit that they shared in their student days.

The local clubs engage in a va- riety of activities. A men's group in LaGrange sponsors an annual basketball banquet and presents a "Most Valuable Player" award. (This group has taken as a con- tinuing . project the boosting of college basketball in LaGrange.)

One of the Atlanta clubs each year provides a scholarship for a LaGrange College student. The New York club pioneered the de- velopment of a special fund for the purchase of books for the li- brary.

Two clubs (one in Atlanta and one in LaGrange) are planning this year to conduct "telethons" to encourage wider participation in the Living Endowment pro- gram, lege.

You are benefitting from their efforts and we hope that one day, as an alumnus, you will want to join with them and make your contribution.

Mickey

Johnson How About '64?

Just as it is a toss-up whether or not Wally Butts fixed a certain football game, it is likewise un- predictable who will face who in 1964. The contest will be for President of the United States.

This election will be "off" by most standards. Kennedy is an incumbent, he hasn't pulled too many boners during his admin- istration, and the country is ex- periencing a relative amount of peace. He is the natural choice for Democratic nominee because of the above reasons and because he has a good public image.

The real problem is on the Re- publican side of the fence. Most top GOP's realize that President Kennedy has a good chance of taking it in '64, so they are a lit- tle hesitant about putting top- notch material in just to get slaughtered. However, recent off- year elections have /indicated a rising GOP popularity, especially in predominantly southern states. For this reason, the National Com- mittee is caught somewhat be-

tween hope and fear. If they decide that Kennedy has

got it, George Romney or William Scranton will probably get the nomination. Romney is. governor of Michigan and, up to his elec- tion, was a political unknown. Scranton is governor of Pennsyl-

vania. If the Committee decides that

the Grand Old Party is going to try for double or nothing, they will probably draft Nelson Rocke- feller. Rocky has been rather subtle in his announcements a- bout his intentions to run, but no one can deny that he wants it pretty bad. The liquor license scandal in his home state of New York didn't help his political fu- ture much, though.

Another possibility on the dou- ble or nothing punch is Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater. Gold- water has gained quite a follow- ing with his conservative views, and he might be able to swing the nomination. However, the Rock- efeller crowd is strong enough to give Barry quite a run.

Goldwater, in a recent an- nouncement; stated that he did not want to run for President. But any politician in his right mind would not turn down the nomina- tion, and Barry is no exception. It would probably be a good guess that whoever gets knocked out of the Presidential nomination wou- ld slip into the Vice-President's spot.

Rare copy of Gutenberg Bible given to Banks Library by Fuller Callaway

by JUDY THOMASON In the new William and Evelyn

Banks Library, a handsome fac- simile of the Gutenberg Bible oc- cupies a central place on the main floor. Few students have stopped to notice this unusual book, and even less know the history behind it.

Many authorities believe that the Gutenberg Bible is the first book in the western world to be printed by movable type. It prob- ably made its appearance some- time in 1455. The text, printed in an elaborately beautiful Gothic type, is in Latin. The capital let- ters and headings were left for artists, employed by owners of the book, to paint. The artists also illuminated its pages with flow- ers, birds, animals and religious miniatures. Scholars believe that Gutenberg produced about 200 copies, of which 165 were on pa- per and 35 were on vellum. In 1456, Heinrich Cremer completed the illumination, rubication, and binding of a set of the Gutenberg Bible and marked the date in both volumes.

Only forty-seven copies and some scattered fragments of the original Gutenberg Bible remain today. Their historical import- ance, beauty, and rarity make them extremely valuable so that

a copy is seldom available at any price. The last sale of an original brought $511,000.

In 1956, the Pageant Press be- gan work on a facsimile edition limited to 1000 copies. This task took five years to complete. Pa- per was especially developed to print it on. It contains 1282 pages and 97 illuminated leaves, which were created by multi-color pro- cesses. Each sheet was fed throu- gh the press seven separate times. Both volumes were bound with imported English goatskin and let- tered "Biblia Sacra" with 24 carat gold.

The copy in the new library is number 104 of the 996 numbered copies. It was given to LaGrange College through the generosity of Mr. Fuller E. Callaway Jr.

AKO's select officers Dixie Land was elected presi-

dent of Alpha Kappa Theta for 1963-64. Dixie, a sophomore, is majoring in music education.

Other officers are Judy Mc- Koon, vice-president; Irene Papa- deas, secretary; Mary Anne Har- well, treasurer; Beth Leonard, Pan Hellenic Council representa- tive; Jane Wilbanks, W. A. A. re- presentative; and Bettye Rutledge, social chairman.

LaGrange College through the "Living Endowment Campaign." The LaGrange Alumnae Club will hold a telethon on April 29. On that day, between the hours of seven and nine-thirty, each alum- na who has not already contribut- ed to the fund will receive a call from another alumna.

Letters were previously sent to each member notifying them of this project. Each will be asked to contribute to the drive, as the key words state, "According to her means without burden but pro- portionately and thoughtfully."

The Southern Bell Telephone Company has given the alumnae the use of its business office in which there are seven direct lines.

This is the first time any Alum- nae Club has undertaken such a project. In the past, 256 alumnae living in LaGrange have given $497, and with this effort, an in- crease in these figures through 100 per cent participation in this "liv- ing endowment campaign" is hop- ed for says Mrs. Carolyn Burgess of the Alumni Office. She went on to say, "We are really anxious to see how it turns out."

Are you one of the many dis- gusted persons who has been de- nied the opportunity to play on

the college tennis courts because LaGrange High School's tennis team was using them?

I have been asked to make a few choice remarks about this ab- surdity, and naturally I enter the matter with much delight because I am one of the disgusted.

The courts were constructed at a cost of $20,000, money raised by the Board of Trustees. In other

words, you helped finance the project, and as a student of LC you have prior rights to play on these courts.

I do not know who was so gen- erous in offering the local high school's team the use of our courts, but whoever he was, has he over- extended his authority?

Whenever students on this hill are told to hurry with a court be- cause LaGrange High has a match at such a time, I say let 'um play somewhere else, if they've got to play.

That is about enough of the lo- cal color. Have you heard about Paul Hornung? He has been su- spended from pro football play for the time being for gambling.

With the absence of Hornung, the Detroit Lions should coast to the N. F. L. title next season; how- ever, the Lions will be beaten by New York in the championship game.

I hope that you were not taken in by all that "roughing propa- ganda" spread about Sam Huff after last year's Giant-Packer game. The origin of the story was Green Bay.

The sovereign state of Alabama is defending "Bear" Bryant in his struggle to prove himself innocent of any "fixing charges." Really now, what would you expect them to say. It looks like they would just tell the truth and end it all.

Softball Reigns SORORITY BALL

Girl softballers took the field last week for the first time this quarter with AKO beating Alpha Phi 23-22 in a last-inning come from behind effort.

Alpha Phi led all the way till the last inning, then the bottom fell out.

Later in the week Kappa Phi defeated AKO 28-9.

FRATERNITY BALL Last week was a mighty poor

week for Sigma Nu softball-wise, as the red team dropped two gam- es in two attempts. Tuesday, the Goblins of Gamma Phi shut out Sigma Nu 17-0 and Thursday Pi Delt edged by Sigma Nu 3-2.

In Tuesday's contest the Gob- lins simply outplayed their oppo- nents in all aspects of the game. 3am Gibson pitched a beautiful game and received superb fielding, to preserve the shut-out.

Thursday the red team dropped a real thriller to Johnny Christo- pher and the Pi Delts. Bobby Mc- Clain took over the pitching duties for Sigma Nu, replacing Beard. There were few hits and fewer
