The portrait of an artist As a result of an article in the recent issue of Ladies'

Home Journal, people from Alaska to Florida know Mr. Ezra Sellers, the head of LC's art department. Mr. Sellers' personality and the lessons in life which he gives to his classes make him a favorite teacher on the hill. We are proud to show him off.

School Spirit, or the lack of it What comes to your mind when you hear "LaGrange

College"? Is it pride, or shame, or an I-don't-care attitude?

LaGrange College is something that we can be proud of and grateful for. LaGrange College offers us an education, which will enable us to understand what is going on around us, to know what is important, and which will give us the tools to reach our goals. Endowments bear some of the cost of our education and relieve some of the financial strain. Capable men administer the college and keep it running in order to provide a place where students can get a good ed- ucation.

LaGrange College is not perfect — sure, it needs im- provement. The fact that the administration and faculty undertook a self-study to find their weaknesses shows that they want improvement. Improvement is a joint effort; the student body must want it too. One of the first steps toward improvement is for some students to stop trying to make the administration the scapegoat for everything they don't like about LaGrange. Another step toward a better school spirit would be a closer faculty-student relationship. One way of achieving closer relationships is through student visits in faculty homes. Groups of students who have done this have gotten to know their professor better — his family, his hob- bies, his personality outside the classroom and office.

School spirit is a joint effort; both the administration and faculty and the students have a responsibility to create and keep a spirit of harmony in this college community.

Letters To The Editor Dear Editor:

Where does all the money go that we pay for food? Does it go into the sacks that the kitchen help take home every night?

But do we get sack lunches on even one night a week? No! We do not, and I, along with several other students who are behind this letter, think that it is a dirty shame! What are we supposed to do for Sunday night supper if we do not have a car or do not belong to a church which provides sup- per?

I think something should be done to provide us with "sack lynches" for Sunday night sup- per because we are certainly pay- ing enough money to be provided with something to eat on Sunday

night!! A Hungry and Concerned Student

Ed. Note: The administration is in the process of preparing a for- mal statement concerning Sunday night suppers. This statement will be published in the next issue of the "Hilltop News".

GOTTA MINUTE?

A Concern For The Unconcerned While there is a lower class, I am in it; While there is a criminal element, I am of it; While there is a soul in jail, I am not free.

— Selected Although most of us might not feel the same as the author of the

above passage, one of the more justifiable criticisms of our genera- tion is that of our lack of inactive concern for our fellowman.

At the Last Supper of our Lord, he told the disciples who were there with him in the Upper Room, "Truly I say unto you, one of you will betray me." Quickly, the disciples began to ask, "Is it I, Lord?" As we recall this incident of nearly two thousand years ago, is it not possible to hear these words penetrating the ages and commanding our attention today?

"One of you will betray me." Our tendency to push aside the cries of men, women, and children in their attempts to live and to become free people makes our answer to the question, "Lord, I have betrayed thee."

Many opportunities come our way to carry forward the banner of service to humanity. A child born into an under-privileged family faces the prospect of growing up without proper medical care, wear- ing clothes cast his way by the "good people" who would no longer be seen in them because they are out of date, receiving his education from the school of heartbreak and distrust.

This child will be pitied by people when he wants and deserves to belong to society because he is himself. His chances of being loved are slim indeed as he is taunted because of race, religion, family or position.

How long, how long will our eyes continue to be blinded by logs of prejudice while we continue to profess to follow the One who looked at .men as individuals! Our example for life comes from One who could visit a prison and see men, not criminals; from One who could see in the eyes of a fallen woman great potentialities while the righteous ones stood with rocks in their hands.

We give our pocket change to charities for that is the sanitary, conscience-soothing way to help the needy. Our hearts are strangely touched as we hear stories of the "unfortunate" people of our world, but we are strangely repulsed when faced with the task of personal ministry in slum areas or among those of other races or creeds.

Toward the end of his ministry on earth, Jesus once left his dis- ciples to watch and wait while he went away to pray. Caution is ne- cessary on our part to guard against falling asleep on the job as did these men. Unless we are careful, we might very well continue to let the Salvation Army, the Peace Corps, and the missionaries go where we had rather not go as we sleep through life's opportunities.

Our generation needs a vital concern for our fellow man (not just our fellow white man, or social equal, or American) as the God- created individual that he is.

"One of you will betray me." "Is it I, Lord?" LARRY GREEN Religion Editor

News Stump By RICHARD CARLTON

The Berlin situation has be- come little more than a slight dis- agreement. The wall remains, but now more as a symbol than a barricade.

The big topics of today are the powerful megaton bombs to be exploded by the Soviet Union, and our bomb-shelters. The pos- sibility of radio-active fall-out is inevitable. The value of the bomb- shelters is to be questioned.

A new field for conversation is

the neutron bomb. "The fusion reaction would loose a swarm of fast neutrons in the energy range of 14 million electron volts. These neutrons would penetrate the steel sides of tanks or concrete walls, killing anyone inside." The only good derived from the neu- tron bomb would be that it would "leave property intact."

After learning and hearing va- rious devices for the extinction of the human race, we ought to consider plans for its preservation —then its progress. Anyone for the Peace Corps?

Jobs Open On College Fashion Boards By ANNA SMITH

Society Editor

An}- girls who are interested in working on the College Fashion Board in a department store have an excellent chance to do so next summer. Several Atlanta stores, including Davison's, Rich's, Re- genstein's, J. P. Allen, and Sears, offer college and high school girls the opportunity to work for a week or so at the end of August in their stores.

LaGrange College had a repre-

Financial Cont. . . . cational conference held on the shores of Lake Michigan. Leading scholars are brought to the con- ference for lectures, seminars and personal contact with the Fel- lows.

Danforth Graduate Fellowships are unique in that they may be held for life, with certain bene- fits after completion of graduate work, such as financial assistance to attend educational conferences and stipends to purchase books and periodicals during the first three years of teaching.

Students may hold a Danforth Fellowship concurrently with oth- er appointments, such as Rhodes, Woodrow Wilson, Fulbright, and National Science Foundation. Winners will become Danforth Fellows without stipend until these other awards lapse.

Further information concerning the program may be obtained in room Dobbs 6 from Dr. Shibley, who may nominate up to three candidates. Nominations must be submitted to the Foundation by November 1.

The Danforth Foundation, one of the nation's 10 largeth educa- tional Foundations, was founded in 1927 by the late William H. Danforth, St. Louis businessman and philanthropist. The Founda- tion's primary aim is to strength- en and enrich higher education in America.

Mr. Osmos Lanier is an Active Danforth Associate. He receives a little financial aid and partici- pates in conferences with other professors in the program. Dr. John Shibley is a Senior Danforth Associate and the representative for the Danforth Foundation.

Girls are chosen for the job on the basis of an application which will be sent to those who are in- terested. Any girls who are inter- ested should write to the College Fashion Board in care of the stor"1

of their choice. Girls living in or near Macon,

Augusta, Savannah, or Columbus should check department stores in those cities for College Board jobs.

Curtain Raisers Cont. . . . Pete Hubbard is ba6k with the group.

There were four members of Curtain Raisers who were eligible for membership in the drama fraternity, Alpha Psi. They were initiated at the banquet on Oc- tober 5th. These people were Cindy Bennett, Dean Brown, Bil- ly Hearnburg, and Dot Miller.

Miss Irene Arnette and Silvia Strickland will be directing the drama work this year with the same enthusiasm as last year and years before. We are looking for- ward to the results of their com- bined efforts.

Homecoming Cont. . . . crowned at the dance.

During the entire day, an art exhibit, set up by Mr. Stevens, will be available for viewing by alumni, students, faculty, and friends.

Chairman of the Homecoming Committee is George Coker, hou- se president of Turner Hall. George says that preliminaries have been taken care of and plans are well under way for this year's homecoming.

Professor /Walter Westafer spent several days last week out of the state filling professional engagements.

On Thursday, October 26, he was the personal guest of the head of the Music Department of Newcomb College of Tulane Uni- versity in New Orleans. On Fri- day, October 27, Mr. Westafer de- livered the principal address at the annual convention of the Louisiana Music Teachers Asso- ciation in Alexandria, Louisiana.

New Professor Begins As Freshman By MARY LILLIAN CAGLE

(Editor's Note: This is the first of a number of articles a'oout tha professors who are new to tha LaGrange campus).

A long time aspiration to teach at LaGrange College was unex- psctedly fulfilled this year for one of the newcomers to the fa- ulty. The event which brought

.his about was a casual telephone onversation in which he was

r.sked if he were interested in eaching at LaGrange.

Mr. Charles Franklin McCook, professor of Old Testament, Child Psychology, and Ethics, was born in Macon, Georgia. From Emory he received his Bachelor of Arts degree, and from Boston Univer- sity his Bachelor of Sacred The- ology and Master of Sacred The- ology degrees. He also completed his residency for his Doctor of Philosophy degree at Boston Uni- versity.

Mr. McCook and his wife have, three children, two boys and a i girl, ages seven, four, and three. He recently has been elected sponsor of the Methodist Student Movement, and his wife has been chosen director of the college choir at First Methodist Church.

Before coming to LaGrange, he served for two years as pastor of a charge of four churches in the South Georgia Conference. Mr.

KIR: CHARLES McCOOK

McCook has also served as an as- s'stant pastor at Mulberry Street Methodist Church in Macon. While working on his Ph. D., he was assistant pastor at the First Congregational Church in Stone- ham, Massachusetts, and associate pastor at the Plymouth Congrega- tional Church.

Since Mr. McCook has Deen here he has drawn 'his conclus- ion: the teaching side of the desk is more difficult than the stu- dent's side. His favorite pasttime is checking on his students who use the library and his reserve books.

PANTHER TRACKS....

Sigma Nu Out Front By JOHN GIPSON

Sports Editor

Homecoming is just around the corner and the new Panthers are quickly becoming a hustling ball team. The alumni team this year will be made up of some of the finest players that have ever worn the Panther red and black. The players that I speak of, as most have heard, are the boys that won for the Panthers run- ners up in the 1959-60 season and had the best record up to that date. So ya' see, if our boys top this team it will not simply mean that they have won the alumni game but it will mean that they are on their way to another great season.

Intra-mural football is still the main sports activity on campus. The standing at present is Sigma Nu one-half game in front of Gamma Phi and Pi Delt is one and one-half game back.

On Oct. 24, Gamma Phi and Pi Delt rocked to a bone-crushing 0-0 deadlock. This' game • was fought with much spirit, as has been shown all season, but the defenses of both teams were too strong and neither team could tally. Pi Delt threatened at one time but lost the ball, and the "golden toe" of Ray Bolten boot- ed the Gamma Phi's to safety. At one point in the game the defense of the Gamma Phi's held Pi Delt on the 7-yard line but a quick kick by Ted Whitman saved their skin when it rolled dead onj

day, the 26th, when Sigma Nu squeezed by Pi Delt. Late in the second half the Sigma Nu's worked the ball to about the 15 on excellent passing and tallied by hitting Owen Green on a de- lay in the right flat. The Pi Delt's were hurt by many incomplete passes which should have been good but were dropped. In the last play of the game Pi Delt threatened again when they car- ried the ball to the Sigma Nu 3 but missed the fourth down pass to Andy Owen and the game end- ed 6-0, Sigma Nu.

The support has been the best I have ever seen on this campus, so let's keep it up. Every team needs support to have spirit, and as everyone can see, no team has this season in the bag.

She then returned to LaGrange this fall as a .recipient of the Pilot Club's Ruby Newhall Scholarship for foreign students. Following her graduation in June there is a possibility of her returning home for a visit, but perhaps this visit will actually come after her graduate study, which she hopes to do at Emory University.

At the present time she is con- sidering making America her home, which she indicates she has found very friendly. Among her varying interests are snow ski- ing, playing the piano, reading and writing. Ibsen, Koestler and Dostoyvsky are among her fa- vorite writers. At one time Marit was a leader of scouts and she was also the teacher of a Sunday School class.

Certainly LaGrange College is proud to have Marit Karlsen as a member of her student body.

Dan Lee intercepted again on the 25-yard line and streaked for a touchdown. The PAT was un- successful, and the half ended shortly thereafter.

In the second half, the game slowed and neither team could add anything in the scoring col- umn. Throughout the day Gary Dunwoody turned in-excellent line play, alongside the hard-hitting Jim Christian and "Tiny" Holt- burg. The ball handling of QB Collier Westmoreland, teamed with the reception of Dan Lee, John Gipson, Sam Gipson, Ray Bolton, and Bob VanLandingham, sparked the team to the winners circle.

The Sigma Nu's looked good, with Ted Alford and Emmett Mullins throwing to LarryrHorns- by, Olin Smith, and i hustling Pete Robinson.
