Callaway Foundation Gives $10,000 Grant

William and Evelyn Banks Library has received a $10, 000 grant from the Fuller E. Callaway Foundation of La- Grange which "will increase both the quality and quantity of the library's book collec- tion."

That was the comment of Dr. Waights G. Henry Jr., LC president , in announcing thegift, the third grant from thefounda- tion to the library since 1958.

The latest grant has been established by the foundation as a reserve fund to cover the actual cost of purchasing new

dent of the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, will speak at assembly, Wednesday, Feb. 9.

Dr. O'Rear and Dr. David McCorkle, director of student afairs, will remain on campus all day Wednesday to interview students interested in medicine, denistry and para, medical pro- fessions.

Students may see Dr. O'Rear and Dr. McCorkle at 11 a.m.- 12:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. in the formal parlor of Smith Hall.

books for the library, Dr. Henry said.

The LC president said that only books recommended in one or more specified listings for college libraries will be pur- chased through the fund. Many of the books are the same as those included in Harvard Uni- versity's Lamont Library.

Dr. Henry reported that the college now has a strong, work- ing library of 33,376 volumes , following the careful elimina- tion of a number of outdated books. The present holdings almost double the 17,000 books in the library in 1955.

The most recent grant from the Fuller E. Callaway Foun- dation, according to Mrs. Davis P. Melson, college librarian, ■ 'will not merely increase the number of volumes, but will improve the quality of our hold, ings and provide better coverage in all relevant sub. ject areas."

The culmination of a two- month project by Georgia students will be climaxed Saturday with a mammoth assembly in At- lanta Stadium.

Secretary of State Dean Rusk is set to deliver the keynote address to an anticipated 55,000 persons at the assembly. Rusk will be joined by South Korean Ambassador to the United Na- tions. Ambassador Choi, and South Vietnamese United Na- tions Ambassador Liem.

Also included on the program will be several entertainers in- cluding AnitaBryant, the "Sing- Out 66 Singers" and others.

On Saturday Rusk will receive the results of the state-wide op- inion poll from "Affirmation Viet Nam" workers.

Endorsements of the program have grown to include 75 Georgia Mayors and the General Assembly of Georgia.A resolu- tion supporting the movement was unanimously passed at a joint meeting of the Senate and House last week.

Motorcades from around the state bringing persons to the assembly will began arriving in Atlanta about Saturday.

'Sergeants' Moving Along Very Swiftly

BY TRIP McCORD Rehearsals are well under

way for LaGrange CoUege's upcoming production of the celebrated Broadway hit, "No Time for Sergeants", which will be presented in Dobbs Auditor- ium on February 25 and 26 at 8:00 p.m.

Miss Marilyn McKay, scenic designer and technical director, plans for this production to be professional in every aspect. The story of a hill billy and his pal who nearly wreck the Air Force simply by being friendly and willing calls for settings in the uproarious cartoon style of Al Capp, adding to the hilarity by making all the characters

Student Of The Week'

Army Brat Marches Toward Stage Career

BY KAY HICKS "I'm just an army brat," said

Ned "Trip" McCord recently. Trip, presently from Atlanta,

has moved around quite a bit. He graduated from high school in Corpus Cristi, Texas, where he was a member of the Drama Club and the National Honor Society.

Sophomore Trip is a speech and drama major who hopes to specialize in films when he completes his education. Around LaGrange College, "Trip" can often be found on or behind the stage in Dobbs Auditorium. He had a part in the FaU production: "The Im- portance of Being Earnest;" he was assistant director for "Royal Gambit;" and he will play the part of a general in the upcoming "No Time for Sergeants."

He's very fond of classical music, but his favorite music is from Broadway.

Trip is a member of Sigma Nu Pi fraternity. He is a friendly, happy, person with one of the biggest smiles on the LC campus.

When asked how he got his nickname, he replied good- naturedly: "I'm clumsy."

seem larger than life. Behind the scenes at Dobbs, the crews are hard at work to make sure that this comedy is every bit as funny at LC as it was on Broad- way.

The biggest show to be pro- duced yet this season, "No Time for Sergeants" calls for several innovations in the technical department. Extra space was needed for all the action, so the footlight trough has been covered by removable wooden fillers. Two wagons, large moving platforms which will be roll- ed on stage as needed, are ne- cessary to create the many off- ices and barracks' rooms in the show. Some of the scenery is dual-purpose, painted on both sides.

Two other important additions are the new 29-foot wide scene drops, floor-to-ceiling curtains which are lowered or raised by ropes. These drops will have scenes painted on them and wiU hide scene chang- es during the acts.

"No Time For Sergeants" is being directed by Dr. Maxie Estes, head of the Speech and Drama Department. The assistant director and stage manager is Mary Anna Daniel.

The Building Crew is headed by Ken Chapman, assisted by Danny Dawson, Lucius Har- well, Judy Fraser, Greg Lee, Buddy McTureous, Alan Ham- by, and Jerry Wynens. The Paint Crew consists of John Carter, Craig Hansen, Katzi Kurtz and Margaret Lunsford.

Lights for this show are being handled by Butch Miller and Descombe Wells m. Rosemary Neely and Richard Menendez are in charge of sound.

The Costume Crew is headed by Joyce Young. Her co-workers are Elaine Latham,Carolyn Mitchell, Lane Lovell, and Katzi Kurtz. Alice Brooks, and Pam

Williams make up the Prop Crew,

BY JOHN WHITE LaGrange College students

numbering upwards of 350 along with an equal number from the city of LaGrange and LaGrange and Troup High Schools, are expected to join thousands of other Georgians in motorcades to the "Affirmation Viet Nam" (AVN) assembly in Atlanta Stad- ium Saturday.

Ted Hitchcock, chairman of the local AVN coordinating com- mittee, said Monday, "students are being contacted this week about their plans to join the motorcade and the assembly." He urged students to contact him as soon as possible and make their plans known.

He said, "It's especially important that we know approxi- mately how many students and cars will be involved so that parking spaces and seats can be reserved at the stadium."

Hitchcock said a highlight of the assembly will be an address by Secretary of State Dean Rusk.

The motorcade with police escort will leave LaGrange about 10:00 a.m. and should arrive in Atlanta about 12:30 p.m.

College groups, along with La- Grange, civic clubs, havebeen asked to form units so that uniting the whole motorcade will be easier.

Hitchcock emphasized that there is no fee or obligation for the assembly.

Vespers Series

To End Sunday BY DONNA PIERCE

On Sunday, February 13, the LaGrange College VespersSer- vice will conclude its series on Christian Views of Social Is- sues . This week's topic will be: "AChristianViewofRace."

Sheri Chadwick has completed the choreography for a special liturgical dance using the race relation theme. This will incorporate the idea of the struggle which the white man has experienced in ac- cepting the Negro in Christian brotherhood. Mr.McLean, Head of LaGrange College Art De- partment, will speak on the sermon topic.

Regina Watson will perform music to accompany Miss Chad- wick's dance.

Those who attended last Sun- day's service and heard the panel discussion of , "A Chris- tian View of War," will know that this series of discussions is interesting and pertinent to current events.

PREVIEW: The Agnes Scott Liturgical Dance Choir will lead the worship on Sunday, Feb- ruary 20, under the direction of Miss MoUy Dotson of the Agnes Scott faculty.

Bulletin! Due to several difficulties,

the costume plans for the Quad- rangle-Panhellenic Ball have been cancelled. NO COSTUMES are to be worn. The other dance plans are unchanged, and the affair will go on as plan- ned, minus costumes.according to Nick Flaskay, Chairman of the Panhellenic Council.

AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL STUDENTS:

This Saturday LaGrange College students will have the unique opportunity of participating in one of the largest student movements ever promoted-

Since there will be more people involved than were in the recent Anti-Viet Nam protest march in Washington, the Atlanta Stadium assembly will be on nation wide television by ABC and NBC, as well as special coverage by Life Magazine- The program will begin at 1:00 P.M. with entertainer Anita Bryant, and other Hollywood entertainers who have been in Viet Nam with Bob Hope- There is a strong possibility that Bob Hope will emcee the program. The Am- bassadors from Viet Nam, Korea, Japan, the Phillip- pines and the Republic of China will be there as well as Gov. Sanders, Gen. Lucius Clay, Senators Russell and Talmadge — climaxed with a talk on Viet Nam policy, by Dean Rusk- The program will conclude at 3:00 P. M.

LaGrange has been granted reserved stadium parking for sufficient cars and busses as well as the 700 reserved seats. Our motorcade (one of 50 from over the state) will leave no later than 10 Saturday morning with police escort all the way. Box lunches will be provided by the cafeteria for all resident students — and remember, there is no fee or obligation in any way-

Much has been said concerning the apathetic attitude of the "typical LaGrange College student." But from the response which I have witnessed concerning AJV'N — whether for or against the policy on war — I am inclined to disagree-1 hope that each student will take this opportunity to go to Atlanta — it will be both an entertaining and educational

experience. All phases of Affirmation Viet Nam so far have

been overwhelmingly successful. Student participa- tion has been good but the greatest challenge yet re- mains. I hope LaGrange College will participate 100 per cent and that our intent and actions will create a new and lasting spirit of togetherness for our cam-

pus and our cause. Ted Hitchcock

Let's Lengthen

The Breadline

Three meals a day just doesn't seem to be the stand- ard diet anymore. With our rough and tough LC schedules, we can hardly find time to enjoy more than two meals on anyday.

Some of us need to loss weight, yet abstinence and total (that is almost total) star- vation are entirely different me- thods. Somehow, no matter how busy we are or how busy we pretend to be, we can "hoof- lt" down to the Mess Hall for a hearty, noon-time snack and later in the evening for a din- ner.

The problem is breakfast— I hear they do have one! Ac- tually I've made it a few tim- es and enjoyed it.

Why breakfast so early? Seven o'clock in the morning is absolutely unreasonable when you've been late with studies the night before. Some students have eight o'clock classes, and may drag themselves out of bed and down to the dining hall every day. There are others, however, and I imagine quite a fortunate group, who have man- aged to schedule a nine o'clock class. There are also others who-by some miraculous act- have a class at eleven. These students must be completely out of it ! They get up before eight to eat breakfast when they could sleep.

I understand the lunch room schedule is tight. Certainly serving scrambled eggs and prunes all morning would be im- possible! But if you've really hungry, even a pat of butter might tide you over until lunch.

Is there any hope? May scrawny college students have that glorious breakfast meal again? I feel that with little trouble the regular morning meal schedule could be sup- plemented by the serving of cereals and coffee in our cafeteria from 8:30 until 9:00 a.m. every morning. In this way students would be able to start off their strenuous college day with a little food.

Air Force Exam Set

The Air Force Officer'sQua- lifying Examination will be given in the Student Govern- ment Room on Thursday, Feb- ruary 10, beginning at 2 p.m. The exam will last six hours for men, and three hours for ladies. If you would like to become a leader, you may ap- ply 210 days prior to gra- duation; however, you must gra- duate to be eligible for ac- ceptance by the Air Force.

Apathy Shelved For Viet Nam Journey

BY ANN HERREN The campus grapevine as

usual is running in full force concerning Saturday's assembly in the Atlanta Stadium for "Affirmation: VietNam."Many students have different reasons for going.

John Carter said, "I am in favor of the U.S. policy in Viet Nam. I think Dean Rusk will give a good talk, and I hope to talk to some of the celebrities.

Gene Frame commented, "I would like to have the opportunity of hearing Dean Rusk, as well as Anita Bryant. "I want to go...to get away from the monotony of LaGrange College. I also feel it would be an interesting experience, "said Brooks Brown.

Rosemary Neely answered the questionthis way: "If I were a boy, I would want to stay as far from the front lines as possible. But since I am a girl and don't have to go, I am more than willing to give my life for my country.

Elaine Latham commented, "It's very seldom that we have the opportunity to hear persons of the caliber of Dean Rusk. Why not take advantage of it?"

All the reasons are sound. They are certainly not the same, but the overriding point is that LaGrange College students are aroused and ready to move as a unit.

The apathy that is "just part of" LaGrange is pathetic. This Saturday we, as a group, can rid ourselves of it and stand with thousands of other college students to show the world that we support our country and are really interested in something outside ourselves.

The Hilltop News staff will meet tonight at 6: p.m. In the newsroom.

Faculty War Views Diverse BY RONNIE McVEY

Several members of the faculty presented a panel discussion on "A Christian View of War" at Chapel Vespers Sunday evening. Those participating in the discussion were

Mr. Rhett, Dr. Taylor, and Dr. Sheppard. Dr. Dodd acted as moderator.

Dr. Sheppard stated that per- sonal support of war is something which a Christian must de- cide for himself in individual

situations. He said that no Christian should participate in a war when he believes that he is on the wrong side.

Dr. Taylor believes that a Christian has to accept necessity-that he must participate in a war which is a necessity "stemming from the imperfect- ibility of man."

Mr. Rhett expressed a nega- tive attitude toward war. He believes that Christians, as members of the spiritual com- munity, cannot alie.iate themselves from any men-there"jre he cannot fight against his bro- ther. He stated that, as Chris- tians, we cannot support or participate in any war; that man's only commitment is to God— not to any war against our ?si- low man.

Georgia Governor Carl San-

ders will appear on the

speaker's platform at Satur-

day's "Affirmation Viet

Nam" assembly in Atlanta

Stadium. Sanders is one of

the movement's sponsors.

SPORTS VIEWS

BY T.J. THOMPSON

The old saying that there is always another time, and place Is the big hope of the La- Grange Panthers this Saturday night.

Certainly the Panthers were outscored, outrebounded, and out classed in Valdosta last Saturday night.

However, things certainly can be different here this Satur- day. Basketball is a game of mental attitude, and inner spirit. Valdosta State had this mental readiness in the pre- vious meeting. There is always a possibility of a complete re- versal here in LaGrange.

All of this is a way of say. ing that even the defeat by Valdosta State did not finish off the Panthers completely.

If LaGrang can take the Re- bels it will again put them in a tie for first place in the G.I.A.C. race.

Of course, this is a lot of assuming. However, with a good team effort, and aroused school spirit for the game, it is entirely possible for the Panthers to turn the tables on Valdosta State.

Hawks Soar Past LC, Southern Meets Defeat The Huntington Hawks play-

ed their usual role as a tough foe last Monday night in Mont- gomery.

Using the deadly outside shooting of guardsJohnBricken and Stan Self, and the strong inside work of Jim Childers, the Hawks roared by the Pan- thers, 94-74.

LaGrange was pacedbyGlenn Lord with 16 points. Joe Phil- lips scored 13 before fouling out early in the second half.

Huntington only outscored the Panthers by two field goals, but the Hawks hit a brilliant 22 of 25 free throws in notch- ing their seventh consecutive win.

CORLESS HURT Not only did LaGrange suf-

fer a loss, but Hugh Corless their high-scoring forward was sidelined early in the game with a severe ankle sprain. Corless wiU probably be sidelined at least two weeks with the injury.

The Panthers used their best balanced attack of the season in drubbing Birmingham-South- ern 89-80 on the Panther Court Wednesday night.

Birmingham - Southern came to LaGrange with one of the most explosive teams on the Panther schedule.

However, the double-figure shooting of six Panthers spelled doom for the boys from Birmingham.

Ronnie Myers led the parade with 17 points. Tom Duckett, Joe PhiUips, and Earl Mor- ton with 13 each to their cre- dit. Glenn Lord, and Dave Cor- less followed suit with eleven points: Duckett, Phillips, and Morton did an effective job for the Panthers on the back boards.

BENCH COMES THROUGH The Panther have been getting

unexpected help from the bench- boys in recent games. EarlMor- ton, Dave Corless, Steve Fry, Mike Rainey, and John Pike, have given the Panthers a big boost with their outstanding play in recent games.

The LaGrange Panthers found the Rebels of Valdosta State to be a rude host Satur- day night in Valdosta.

The Rebels, using a tight man-to-man defense, and a de vastating fast break, bombed the Panthers, 80-50. The win vaulted Coach Gary Colson's Rebels into sole possession of first place in the GIAC race.

Bob Ritch, hitting mostly on fast-break lay-ups, led the Rebel cause with 19 points. This was still seven points behind his 25 per game average.

The Panthers were led by Ronnie Myers with 20 points. Center Joe Phillips led the game rebounders by pulling down 14.
