Pi Delt to help with new f rat at WGC

A fraternity that is being or- ganized at West Georgia College may affiliate with Pi Delta Kappa at LaGrange, says The West Georgian, campus newspaper at W. G.

In an article in the April 22 edition of the paper, it was re- ported that "A strong possibility exists that the local West Georgia chapter might affiliate with Pi Delta Kappa of LaGrange, which is providing the West Georgia group with assistance in organiz- ing." West Georgia sent repre- sentatives down to LC to study fraternal organizations, The West Georgian said.

LC Student Government presi- dent Millard Martin said that he thought that the move was "good." When asked if there was a Pan- Hellenic rule against affiliating, Martin said that he didn't think so. He said that affiliating with West Georgia would help create better feelings with our tradition- al rivals. He went on to say that West Georgia's coming down here for assistance added some prestige to our college and to our fraternal system.

Details on the plan are not yet complete. The W. G. group is go- ing to present their constitution to the Student Government Asso- ciation at West Georgia for ap- proval.

The West Georgian reported that this was the second major move to form a fraternity at West Georgia. Jim Arp, student body president at WG, is a leader of the movement.

Student Christian cabinet named

Student Christian Association cabinet positions for 1963-1964 were recently announced. The four executive officers were cho- sen in a campus-wide election early this spring. The cabinet will be headed by Donnie West, the second male SCA president in the history of LC. The other execu- tive officers are: vice-president, Terri Adcock; secretary, Bonnie Maddox; and treasurer, Frances Barefoot.

The new cabinet was selected by this year's cabinet and the four new executive officers. The 1963-64 cabinet will be composed of: worship and programs, Irene Papadeas; world relatedness, Vin- cent Shaffer; recreation, Bill Men- ningham; publicity, Nancy Chamb- liss and Curt Chapman; YMCA chairman, Steddy Glisson; YWCA chairman, Nancy Cherry; town girls represeneative, Sue Neeley; town boys representative, Sammy McCord.

May Day nears; spirits upsurge by MICKEY JOHNSON

Managing Editor This Saturday, May 4, will be

LaGrange College's annual May Day, a day of events that will in- clude an honors program and step-singing competition.

May Day festivities will com- mence with an honors program at 10:30 in the morning. Mrs. E. R. Crowe, Atlanta's "Woman of the Year" and a graduate of LC, will be the speaker. She is a veteran Georgia teacher and curriculum supervisor in Fulton County.

Registration plans set for next two terms

Advance Registration Advance registration for both

summer and fall quarters will take place simultaneously May 8-10.

The summer quarter schedule has already been completed. The schedule for fall quarter will be published soon. Advisees should begin making plans to see their advisors about their courses now.

Juniors and seniors will be gi-, ven an opportunity to register first, then the sophomores and freshmen. The juniors and sen- iors will register from 1:30-3:30 May 8.

Transient Registration Any student from LC planning

to take courses on another cam- pus this summer should have a statement of good standing and choice of courses sent in advance of the summer session to the school which he plans to attend. The same thing pertains to stu- dents corning to LC. The courses must be approved by the dean of the school in which the student is regularly enrolled.

Faculty Advisors Serious attention is being given

to the nature of faculty advisors or sponsors to the student organi- zations. The administration plans

to attempt the equalization of assignments of the faculty mem- bers so that one member will not be the sponsor of too many organ-

izations.

Circle K sponsors clean-up; results expected to be seen by Friday

by MICKEY JOHNSON Members of the local chapter of

Circle K International are spon- soring a campus clean-up cam- paign the week before May Day activities. The club, headed by sophomore Robert Welchel, is at- tempting to inspire students to keep the campus clean at all times, but to make it especially appealing for the parents and

year.

Dorough named 'Quadrangle' editor; Wallace to head 'Scroll' for '6.V64

The new editors and business managers of the "Quad- rangle" and the "Scroll" were announced last Thursday by the Student Publications Committee. .

Jenny Dorough, a junior from Albany, was named editor of the "Quadrangle" for 1963-64. She will succeed Sue Goethe, who has served as the 1962-63 editor.

Laura Johnston, a junior from Atlanta, will replace Karen But- ler as business manager of the yearbook. She served as advertis- ing manager during the past year.

Named to the top positions on the "Scroll" staff are Arlin Wal- lace and Janet Taylor.

Arlin Wallace of Columbus was named by the committee to the post of "Scroll" editor. He replac- es Brenda Jones, who told the Hilltop News concerning Wallace's appointment, "His contributions in past issues of the "Scroll" are clear demonstrations of his liter- ary judgement and ability.''

Janet Taylor has been named to the position of business manag- er for the "Scroll." Janet, a resi- dent of Toccoa, replaces Joy Bates, who dually served as business manager and assistant editor this

guests that will be here for May Day.

May Day needs student support May Day with its varied schedule of events is taking on

a new importance this year. There will be speeches, singing, eating, visiting, and dancing as usual, but there is one dif- ference. Most of this year's activities are student-planned. The programming of each phase of the May Day "weekend" is in student hands more than ever before.

The Student Government has charge of the overall pro- gram and the honors program which will recognize all phas- es of campus achievement. The MENC is serving as coordi- nator of the sorority-fraternity step-singing which begins this year to become an annual part of the May Day festivi- ties; and the Pan Hellenic Council is in charge of the formal May Day dance. It seems that these responsibilities are help- ing to promote better relations among the Greek organiza- tions. The VVAA has charge of the May Court.

Invitations have been sent by the SGA and the Student Affairs Committee to parents and friends of the college giv- ing them a chance to become acquainted with our campus. On Saturday afternoon the visitors will have an opportuni- ty to visit the dormitories and talk informally with various faculty members and students.

The Hilltop News commends each of these organizations on the progress toward May Day that has already been made. Each of these groups takes on itself an enormous re- sponsibility to make its part of the "weekend" a success. But the entire May program will be successful only if we the students back each of these efforts with our wholeheart- ed support.

What do you say — will we support them?

LC recognizes outstanding students What many LC students have been wanting for years is

now a reality. LaGrange College is regularly scheduling a program that will recognize those students who have spent hours in lab and slaving over volumes of parallel reading and have somehow managed to pull that 3.5 or better av- erage.

We have heard some varied complaints from a few students that the basketball team and the music and drama groups get more support and recognition than those who came to college to study. If this is the case, then here is the scholar's chance, his hayday, his golden opportunity for col- legiate fame.

In addition to scholastic acknowledgement, various lead- ers in extracurricular activities will be recognized during the honors program.

It seems that this program — specifically designed to ac- knowledge student accomplishment — should do much to develop school awareness and pride.

This is the third 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. Earlier articles have dealt with the composition of the group and with some of its activi- ties.

by MICHAEL BROWN President, LC Alumni Assn.

The LaGrange College Alumni Association is an old organization that has recently achieved a new look. The character of the college itself has changed radically in re- cent years and the Alumni Asso- ciation has undergone a similarly sweeping transformation. For most of the years since its founding in 1882 it lay dormant and played no important role in the life of the college. But as the college, in the decade of the fifties, bgan squarely to face the challenge of the future, the officers of the Alumni Association recognized that they too were being chal- lenged — that they had a vital role to play and an important ob- ligation to discharge.

Alumni accept challenge In 1959 they accepted the chal-

lenge and prepared to revitalize their organization with a view to making it an important source of strength to the college. Under the presidency of a distinguished alumnus, Dr. Lamar Dodd, they drafted a new constitution and thus equipped themselves with an organization that was adequate and suitable to the job at hand. With more optimism than "know- how" they launched their "Living Endowment" campaign. The re- sults were not spectacular — a to- tal of $1,259.00 was realized; but at least it was a start, and it was a vast improvement over anything that had been achieved in earlier years.

In 1960, with an improved or- ganization and with Ihe exper- ience of the previous year to guide them, they raised some $2,500.00 more than ever before. In each succeeding year the figure has been increased so that this year's campaign — although it still has two months to run — has already surpassed the total for any pre-

vious year.

Change being made

The amount of money raised by the association is one way of mea- suring its effectiveness, but there are other criteria by which it should be judged. How many of its members demonstrate their in- terest by returning periodically to the campus? To what extent do they participate in the program of their local alumni clubs? Do they seek to serve in an active and aggressive way to promote the in- terests of the college? It must be confessed that, until a few years ago, the answers to these, ques- tions would have been negative. Alumni were apathetic and disin- terested. But now change is in the air; the Alumni Association is on the move. Each year more and more of its members become ac- tively involved in furthering the interests of the college. Through their interest and their gifts they become partners with us in work- ing for a better and a finer La- Grange College.

Mickey

Joh nson Somewhere back last fall quar-

ter, The Hilltop News published an editorial about keeping the campus clean.

Now, with May Day approach- ing, a campus group is attempting to ao something about this prob- lem. Circle K has organized a Clean-Up Campaign for this week. As you know, it started yesterday and will continue until Friday. The purpose of this campaign is to get the LaGrange campus somewhat clean and presentable for the visitors that are supposed to come here this weekend.

Circle K cannot do it alone. I realize that there is a little ef- fort involved in taking one piece of trash to a garbage can, and of course, it's easier to throw a cig- arette butt on the floor. But, al- though one person's trash doesn't amount to a heck of a lot, group- ed together the trash of 400 stu- dents makes quite a showing.

What this whole campaign needs is a little pride in LaGrange College. If your parents and friends come up Saturday, you, at least, ought to want LC to make a pretty good impression. You may hate this school, that's your privilege, but, at least, take e- nough pride in your "enemy'' to keep it clean.

This campaign is just a start. The end of May Day should not mean that we can start throwing trash around again. Circle K wan- ts the students to stay conscious of campus appearance and to try to keep this campus clean the year round. The administration can help out by providing some more garbage cans of the large variety and placing them in ad- vantageous places. If the recepti- cal is near, then it's not as hard to heave the trash in its general direction.

Although pleas often fall on deaf ears, I'll give it a try: Please! Double please!! Help Circle K keep YOUR campus clean.

Job approves modern counterpart in coming LC stage production

One day God called me and said, "Job, I want you to go down to earth and see this play "J. B." I think that you should find out if it is an accurate account of your trobules." On my way to earth, I thought about my many afflic- tions of so long ago, and I was pleased that people could still profit from my shortcomings.

I got to earth about a week be- jfore a performance was to be given at LaGrange College. I was surprised at the completely dif- ferent setting of this modern day Job, but I soon became accustom-

ed to it and felt very much at home.

As a rehearsal for the play be- gan, I found myself relating this Job's heartaches to my past trou- bles. The portrayal of Satan and God were exactly as they appear- ed to me, and I felt strangely warmed at Job's reaction to them.

When I returned to heaven, I told God that I was very pleased with my modern counterpart, and that I would be watching him with kind and sympathetic feel- ings as "J. B." is presented on May 2 and 3.

"Aww — come on Mrs. Fow- ler, I just know I've got a letter in there somewhere. He promised that he'd write, and I'll just die if he doesn't, and so ..." So be- gins the 10:01 rush hour at the post office, the only place you can go and be sure to see everybody who attends LC. There is nothing that can beat getting mail, even a telephone call, because it's not tangible. Therefore, everyone swarms in the Student Center with anxious faces, and, if the mail isn't up yet, they wait with eager eyes turned toward their little box, hoping to see something, anything!, placed in it.

Standing behind the boxes is Mrs. Fowler, who enjoys watch- ing the different expressions of the students. She remarked, "Their happiness makes me feel good, but when they don't get mail, I feel so sad for them. They look at me like I've lost it or something."

Mrs. Fowler has two breaks in her -working week. The first one is Tuesday when the HILLTOP NEWS is put up, because she "has company". The other is Wednes- day when everyone is in chapel, "I have so much peace and quiet— I have it all to myself. Then at 11:00 they descend upon me like vultures."

It is not only letters that peo- ple want, it's packages also. Today a professor came to the window complaining. He had his fist full of letters, but he still remarked to Mrs. Fowler, "Where are imy packages!" To each complaint Mrs. Fowler just smiles and hopes that tomorrow they will get their mail.

The mailman is very unpredict- able, Mrs. Fowler said, but he us- ually makes it by around 9:30. Then she starts sorting out the mail and putting it up. Mrs. Fow- ler gives a word of advice to the students and professors — "Have patience!" She also added, "I like everyone of them, I like to help, I like to do the best."

If everything goes as planned, Sonny Liston will defend his championship against Floyd Pat- terson June 7 in Las Vegas. The return match has been cancelled more times than punches thrown in the first fight, but maybe this will be it.

Do not expect the same results as the first encounter. Patterson is a smart fighter, as asset lacking in Liston.

A couple of weeks ago several

professional football players were suspended from play because of gambling charges. Alex Karras, of i he Detroit Lions and one of those suspended, has wasted no time in finding new employment. He wrestled Dick the Bruiser last weekend after the two had had a brawl in a downtown Detroit bar- room.

In the brawl the Bruiser su- stained a blow to the head by a cue stick and Karras received a black eye and bruises.

The fourth annual Pan-Ameri- can games opened last week in Sao Paulo, Brazil, with the Amer- ican representatives being victor- ious in most of the competition. As you know, this is another of those events sponsored to pro-

There was some question as to the status of some of the Cuban baseball representatives, whether professional or amateur, and af- ter the U. S. team was beaten 13-1 it looks like Castro sent along a few pros to beef up the offense.

Of course, the game with Cuba was a non-conference contest — we are in two different leagues.

College, LHS agree on tennis question

In answer to a sports editorial attacking the local high school's use of the college tennis courts Dr. Judson Harris has explained that the high school has been per- mitted the use of the courts and what can be done to ease some of the pressure.

According to Harris, the high school team was permitted access to the courts to promote good feel- ings between the two schools. In an oral agreement between the schools it was stated that if at any time a LC student wanted to use a court occupied by memb^s of the LaGrange High team, th^high school team must concede.

Ill feelings resulted when the high school team failed to abide by this agreement.

LC netters snatch victory as season improves

The LaGrange tennis team de- feated Shorter College in Rome last week 8-1 in a return match.

After a shaky start the Panthers have now taken three straight wins, two of these over Shorter, the other over Berry.

The team plays Columbia The- ological Seminary there today and Berry again here on Thursday. Columbia beat LaGrange in the first match of the season 8-1, but as Coach Judson Hams says, "We are showing improvement with every match."

Shorter-LaGrange scoring: 1. Chuck Nixon def. Fitz Hous-

ton, 6-1, 7-5. 2. Colby Mosier def. Oliver
