Summer school to have

largest enrollment yet LaGRANGE, GA. •• Students

may acquire up to 20 quarter hours of credit by attending both summer sessions at LC this year.

Dr. C. Lee Harwell, acade- mic dean, said the first ses- sion will begin on Monday, June 13, and continue through Fri- day July 15.

The second term is scheduled from Monday, July 18, through Saturday, August 20.

"Last summer's record en- rollment for the split session of summer school proved that most students liked this plan," Dr. Harwell said. "We are looking forward to an even greater num- ber of students this coming sum- mer."

The dean emphasized that the course offerings are designed especially for freshman students recently graduated from high school, for transient students regularly enrolled in other col- leges, for public school teachers working on certification, and for LC students who wish to accele- rate their education.

Registrar Alfred Mariotti said the LC enrollment last summer was 228, an increase of almost 25 per cent over the 1964 sum- mer term.

Summer quarter courses in the following fields will be offered: art, Bible, biology, chemistry, economics, education, English, French, general science, geo- graphy, health and physical edu- cation, history, mathematics, music, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion, so- ciology, Spanish, and speech.

Students may carry two five- hour courses during each sum- mer term,Dr.Harwell said.Each class will be scheduled for a two-hour period each day.

"This should be the most com- fortable summer for our students as our library, dining hall, ad- ministration building, and most of our classrooms wiU be air-con- ditioned." Dr. Harwell 3116 ^mvc said

Musical play will be highlight of quarter

Mercer to host

folk festival The Sixth Annual Georgia Col-

legiate Folk Festival will beheld at Mercer University, Macon, May 6 and 7.

Folk singers from colleges throughout the southeast will ga- ther in Mercer's Porter Gym- nasium to swap songs and play before folksong enthusiasts at a Friday evening performance be- ginning at 8 o'clock and at a Saturday performance at 2:30.

Dr. Ben W. Griffith, director and founder of the festival, said the informal songfest is "among the oldest collegiate folk festi- vals in the country, having start- ed before the recent boom in folk music."

The Mercer festival special- izes in traditional folksongs and bluegrass-type instrumentals. No amplified instruments are used. Informal workshops and playing sessions are held during the weekend.

The festival will be presented in a new format this year. Part of each performance will be pre- sented from a central platform in the gymnasium. At other times during the evening the audience may circulate, listening to one of several groups of playing simul- taneously in various sections of the gymnasium and in the adjoin- ing gardens.

"Once Upon A Mattress,' a musical comedy version of Hans Christian Anderson's "The Prin- cess and the Pea," is the Spring play scheduled for May 13 and 14 in Dobbs Auditorium at 8:00 p.m.

Dr. Max Estes, director of the show, has announced that this delightful entertainment will combine the efforts of the entire Fine Arts Division of LaGrange College.

A special interest feature of "Once Upon A Mattress" is that it contains the first full-length musical score by Mary Rodgers, daughter of that other very fam- ous composer, Richard Rodgers. The lyrics for her catchy tunes were written by Marshall Barer, who along with Jay Thompson and Dean Fuller, also devised the jolly book for the Broadway hit on the basis of the old fairy tale about the super-sensitive princess.

As they tell about the goings- on in a medieval royal court, the test for the water-logged on in a medieval royal court, Neely) aspiring to wed the Crown Prince Dauntless, the Drab (Charles Thomas) is that she be so tenderly reared that she can feel the rude presence of a tiny pea under a stack of twenty mattresses. This tough test has been schemed up by the prince's Mama, Queen Agra- vain, (Judy Fraser) a garrulous, raspy woman, so domineering that she has struck her husband-

The results of this test are eagerly awaited by the knights and ladies of the court, among them Lady Larken (Mary Anna Daniel) and Sir Harry (Hugh Duskin), since they must follow custom and refrain from marriage until Prince Dauntless is wed.

Other principals in the 26- member cast are Mike Baker, as the Minstrel; Trip McCord, as the Jester; Clay Calhoun, as the Wizard; Alice Brooks, as Lady Merrill; and John Old, as Sir Studley.

Also appearing in "OnceUpon

A Mattress" are Tom Duckett,

The talented dancers include Darlene Bryan, Cheryl Coggin, Margaret Lunsford, Ken Byers, Butch Miller, and Greg Lee.

Nancy Beth James is staging the dances, Miss Marilyn Mc- Kay has designed the medieval court settings and costumes, and Mr. Paul Doster is conducting the orchestra in the lilting musical score. Buddy McTureous is Assistant Director- Stage Manager for the musical comedy.

Landiss to discuss morality BY NICK FLASKAY

"The New Morality" will be the title of a three day-lecture-dis- cussion series to be delivered April 24th, 25th, 26th on the LC campus.

Dr. Charles F. McCook made the announcement that the speak- er for the occasion will be William Landiss, director of the Wesley Fellowship at Georgia

Trip McCord wins summer stock job

Theater Under the Stars is proud to announce that Trip Mc- Cord has won the singing audi- tions for the 1966 summer of the nationally famous musicals

^resented at Chastain Amphi- theater in Atlanta.

Trip is a student at La- Grange college and is a speech and drama major who hopes to be a motion-picture producer- director. Now a sophomore, Trip will soon star in the colleee production of "Once Upon A Mattress".

A native of Atlanta, Trip has performed with Theater Under the Stars during the summer of 1964. His class at Bass High School in Atlanta co-starred with the outdoor summer production of "Bye Bye Birdie" starring Van Johnson.

Trip will begin rehearsals for the 1966 Theater Under the Stars on June 27 when he will meet and begin working with each star Qf the six show line-up. As a member of the singing chorus, Trip will be on stage nightly at Chastain Amphiteater July 12- Aug. 21.

Tech. Mr. Landiss will be here at the request of the SCA. "They were very fortunate in obtaining Mr. Landiss, for he is in great demand as a speaker on matters of interest to students," said Dr. McCook. v

Mr. Landiss has served on the faculty of Emory University as a student instructor, and student director of the Glee Club, and is currently on the faculty in the department of religion. He has had pastorates in Georgia and New England. He has recently finished a week of lectures at Bucknell University.

The overall title for the series will be "The Christian Style of Life", subdivided into three topics. Con't on page 4

Nutty prof

campus fiick

The Pre-Ministerial Associa- tion presents Jerry Lewis and Stella Stevens in "The Nutty Professor" Friday night April 22. In an imaginative twist on the split personality theme, Jerry Lewis plays a bumbling profes- sor who discovers a chemical formula that transforms him into a swaggering campus hearthrob. Unfortunately the potion wears off at embarrassing moments. The rest is the usual confusion that results in all Lewis' movies and adds up to an evening of laughter, if you like that sort of thing.

Peace corps to give tests LaGrange students will have

an opportunity to take the Peace Corps Placement Test on cam- us on April 29. It will be given in Manget .110 at three p.m.

The Peace Corps needs 10,500 new Volunteers to enter training between now and next fall for service in 48 developing nations of Latin America, Africa, and Asia. The Placement Test is designed to help the Peace Corps match applicants' special abili- ties with the 300 different kinds of jobs to be filled. If the test in- dicates a limited language-learn- ing ability, for example, the Peace Corps tries to place the ap- plicant in an English-speaking country.

The application form (Volun-

teer Questionnaire), rather than the Placement Test, is the most important factor in the selection of Volunteers. Studentsor others available for service oT advance training within the next year must fill out a Volunteer Question- naire before taking the test. The Questionnaire, which is sub- mitted to the tester, can be ob- tained in advance from Mr. Lance Williams, the Peace Corps Liai- son on campus, or from Peace Corps, Washington, D.C. 20525.

The PlacementTesttakes about an hour and a half. An optional French or Spanish achievement test requires another hour. Both tests are non-competitive and require no preparation.

More on spring teams An editorial appearing in last week's HTN titled "Should spring

teams continue?" has been the subject oi controversy since its publication.

In order to clarify the position taken last week, this column will delve further into the problem.

This week our tennis team dropped two more matches, 9-0 and 7-2, to Columbus and North Georgia respectively. This brings the team record to a most unprestigeous 0-7. Our track team stands 0-1 on the season, and based on its performance at Emory, I cannot forsee any major improvement in its won-lost percentage.

Besides the fact that it costs money to operate these teams, LC is naturally tagged as a loser by anyone who reads the sports pages.

It is amazing to notice the burning desire for victory that our basketball team possesses. But, in talking to members of our track and tennis teams, I get the impression that they are not too con- cerned with whether they win or lose. I have heard several tennis team members casually discuss their forthcoming defeat before they actually played their matches.

I agree with those who say that team sports should help a per- son develop physically, socially, and morally. But the primary purpose of competitive sport, as I see it, should be winning by as one-sided a score as is possible.

Our tennis and track teams do not do this. In fact they do not even win.

Do they need to practice more? Should LC give track and tennis scholarships? Do we need a coach for each of the teams?

I suggest that those responsible for our athletic program study the problems our teams are having, study the lack of stu- dent support given to these teams, and either attempt to foster a winning combination or discontinue the teams. (HMD)

It's light up time "No Smoking in the Cafeteria!" Who says so? Everyone

seems to think that smoking is not allowed in the cafeteria. As a service to the college we have searched the current

student handbook and found no reference to smoking in the cafeteria. Since the legislative council has apparently neglected to vote on this issue, we assume that there is no rule against it. Furthermore the lack of "No Smoking" signs in the cafeteria strengthens our assumption.

Until smoking in the cafeteria is voted out by the student body, we suggest that after enjoying a tasty Campus Chef meal, feel" free to light up. (TAH)

Letters Editor:

The article in last week's paper pertaining to the "PassionPlay", performed on Good Friday has promoted much talk on the L.C. campus. I think it would be good for aU of us to devote a few mo- ments to the meaning and out- come of this performance.

I think we will all agree that if it did nothing else, it received our attention. Perhaps, as some have said, it made us think about the crucifixion of Christ more deeply than before. Must what we believe in be ridiculed before

April 19, 1966

it has deep meaning for us? Pos- sibly the negative attitude in which it was presented opened many eyes, but while doing so it also provided amusement that was disrespectful of what actually happened years ago on the cross: of Calvary.

Could a true Christian gaze upon the picture on the front page of last week's paper and not feel remorse that such an act of moc- kery is publicized as the reflec- tion of the student body of our college.

It seems to me that is no long- er a laughing matter. We are stu- dents of a college that is to say the least, liberal.and respect for what should be held sacred is lost because a few students who seem to have opposing convictions can feel free to perform such a deri- sive act.

I don't condemn them for it. I simply fail to understand why the rights of a Christian at a Chris- tian college are exploited and peo- ple seem to find it amusing.

Much else could be said about various other parts of our "New" newspaper, butl will mention only one more. A comment in the art- icle, "For what its worth" stat- ed "REW with its compulsory attendence seems to prove that dead or alive God wants you, even if you don't want him". I couldn't help but wonder as I read that statement who they were trying to convince, themsel- ves or their readers. I wonder why these students chose a church affiliated college, when all they do is point thumbs down on that which it stands. Why did they choose LaGrange College as their place to rebel? It seems as though they came here to search for something and have now become afraid they are going to find it.

THE EDITOR: I would like to comment on

your editorial in last week's Hill- top News, "Should Spring Teams Continue?"

School athletics should make a worthwhile contribution to the educational objectives of La- Grange College or they should be discontinued. The only justi- fication that we have for inter- collegiate sports is that they provide an opportunity for the stu- dent with exceptional sports skill to develop mentally, physically, socially, and emotionally through wholesome competitive activi- ties.

The primary consideration in determining the value of inter- scholastic sports is the indivi- dual who participates. Such things as school spirit, school presi- tige, and spectator interest are not major factors in evaluating an athletic program.

The track team has partici- pated in only one meet this year. Eleven boys made the trip to Emory and entered nine of the seventeen events. Although only one boy had ever represented LaGrange in track, they scored more points than last year's team. On the basis of this "dis- mal" performance, I am sure that members of the track team will

letters be eternally grateful for your "moral - boosting" recommen- dation that we abolish the sport.

I am not concerned that you see nothing worthwhile in being a member of, or observing our teams in action, since the Hill- top News seems to be having difficulty in finding anything wor- thwhile that is connected with LaGrange College. However, I would suggest that you con- tact some members of these teams. Perhaps they could en- lighten you.

A Few Pet Gripes: How about the "new" HTN.

Where is It new? Look again at the caricature depicting an LC revival. It appears that Christ is moving out of the picture as he must have moved out of mind and heart of a minority of the LC Infidels. HTN is new in that res- pect. It now reflects irreverence, and shameful disrespect for that which is sacred. It appears that Manget is now the point where Tobacco Road and Calvary meet. Many a silent viewer watched with disgust at the sacrilegious display with vilest contempt for the partakers of the Good Fri- day fiasco. Hebrews Inc. should put on Act Two and Three so

Christians can witness the re- enactment of the Crucifixion, Death and Burial since they only saw the cross-carrying scene. Rehearsal and try-out halls are flooding with volunteers who want to drive the nails in, pierce the side, and bury the modern "Kreiss." No one cares if he either survives the first rehear- sal or ever rises again especially certain professors and students.

As for the version of an Oral Roberts tent show, perhaps many should have crawled forward on hands and knees begging to be purged of the rotten filth in their diseased minds. It is believed that Satan would repent if he saw any of them coming his way. Like cancer, the corruption has spread in a social vein also. Certain whites fctel they cannot live with the shadow of a "different" per- son sharing his sunlight. Even basest animals have no prejudice. Where will the prejudiced few go in the next life? Both heaven and hell are integrated since all men were once created equal. Reli- gious infamy and social indigna- tion seem to be the foundation of certain student standards of morals. These are the gems of society, and will hopefully be ex- terminated by a more sensible generation.

By the way, the hope of the members of the losing team is that it will not quit and perhaps with fewer members seeking un- de served credit, and more with admirable spirit, it wiU come back a winner. We lose, but we try, and try hard, with all the effort we have.

Surely you're putting us on.Ed.

The Editor: I would like to commend those

responsible for the "new" Hill- top news for a remarkable come- back. The whole format of the paper is greatly improved. Es- pecially enjoyable are the topi- cal satire on campus life and the meaningful editorials. These first issues seem to indicate that LaGrange College can In- deed have a provocative and in- teresting newspaper in which its students can take pride. Looking forward to more of the same.

Carter to do hospital work

By TOM HUGHES John Carter, HTN Student of

the "'sek, is a senior from Joplin, Missouri, majoring in Business Administration. Since John's ar- rival in 1962, he has seen many changes here at LaGrange; among those are the construction of the campus sanctuary and the library. He has also seen a marked trend towards a less pro- vincial administration.

MEMBER FSLIC

JOHN CARTER Carter has been a member of

the Legislative Council, Circle K (of which he is serving as Vice President), appeared on the LC stage in "No Time For Ser- geants," worked on the stage crew for "Royal Gambit" and is currently working on "Once Up- on A Mattress.' John also has written for the HTN for three years and is Sports and Greek editor of the Quadrangle this year. Pi Delta Kappa is John's Greek choice, and he has served as fraternity historian and secre- tary. The Quadrangle will reflect John's name as one of LC's out- standing Seniors.

John thought the most outstand- ing feature of last Friday's lunch "was the manner in which the food remained upon the plate even when turned upside down."

We asked John about the possi- bility of the administration ever repealing the "18th admend- ment," and he replied dryly, "I think it's forseeable in the near future."

"As far as my most per- sonally satisfying experience, I would have to say my fraternity association, because of a ture feeling of brotherhood which I feel is often lacking in national fraternities. Further, I don't think that we, as members of La- Grange's three local fraterni- ties, are losing that much when compared to the large nationals."

John will graduate in June and hopes to teach school for a year in Clayton County, and then do graduate work in the area of hospital administration.

BELKGALLANT COMPANY "LaGrange's Leading Department Store"

By BOBBY PAYNE "Do you favor the option of

buying lunch tickets instead of paying for your meals in one sum at the beginning of each quarter?"

DEAN HAWTHORNE: "It seems to me that it should be only fair that we pay only for the meals which we eat. As it stands now, those who leave on the week- ends are paying more than $4.00 per weekend for meals they never see, not to mention any meals which they should miss during the week.

BROOKS SHELHORSE: "I so rarely miss a meal, I feel that by paying for the meals at the beginning of each quarter I get a savings, but I feel that it should be left up to the indivi- dual. For some students a meal ticket would mean a large sav- ing.

MARTHA HAINES: "I think we should buy meal tcketsbythe quarter, because half the time I don't go to meals, especially when I'm away on weekends.

DINAH TUCKER: "Buying $10 meal tickets would be much more beneficial to students at La- Grange College. The current practice of buying quarter meal tickets is wasteful and certainly not economical when not all meals are eaten and students leave for weekends.

JOHN CARTER: "Yes, I feel that student behavior toward the cafeteria would be better if they knew they did not have to eat a meal and were not paying for it. One wastes money on weekends when he is away, when one over sleeps and when one cannot sto-

mach the food, and this is a waste of money.

PAUL COOK: "The meal tic- ket option would be a great help to those students who eat only two meals a day at school, or seldom eat at school on the would not benefit from the option, regularly at the school cafeteria would not benefit from the option said option perhaps even being detrimental to them.

I think that the option should be offered, if practical, because a large number of students would probably benefit from it."

Coach forecasts bright future

By KNOX FERRIS

"We are losing f< ur seniors, and three of them have been starters since they have been here ... I know they are going

to be hard to replace, indivi- dually, but we are going to try and replace them. It may be with individuals that play a little bit differently than these boys, but we probably will have as good ball players as we had'. Their skills may be different, but it's just a matter of blend- ing them together and making a workable outfit with them. The prospects right now look real good." These were Coach Mar- iotti's words as he was recently interviewed by the HTN.

The coach was then asked to comment on the new players he recently obtained.

"Presently we have two junior college boys, and I would like to get one more. This would give the team a junior college boy at the center position, one at forward, and one at guard, in- abling the team to have boys with some experience who won't find it too difficult to adjust to our. style. This basketball, by the' way, is as good as basketball (small college basketball) as they play anywhere."

In the next question Coach was asked to relate some of the dif- ficulties he encounters in recruit- ing new players, both from junior colleges, and from high schools.

"This business of recruiting has a lot of angles. One of the factors in it is that we offer an A.B. degree, but I'm not grip- ping about that at all because I think that it's a more valuable degree than a B.S. degree. A lot of the boys that are junior college boys do not have a lang- uage background, and unless the*

Pi Delts win Volleyball

The last series in the inter- fraternity voUeyball games was played on Tuesday night. Gamma Phi and Pi Delt were still very much in contention for the title. Although Pi Delt had a slight edge percentage - wise, a loss to the Goblins would have cost them the title.

The action on the floor was a tough as it has ever been and in the first game Gamma Phi took Phi Delt 15-5. The second game saw the Delt's take revenge by a score cf 14-9. The third and last game was the most exciting. At the end of regulation time the two teams were all tied up at 15-15. In the overtime the Delt's came on to score three points to the Gobblin's, and thus cap- tured the '65 - '66 title.

Two other series were played that night. In the first one Gamma Phi took two games from the Knights of Sigma Nu, 15- 10, 15-5. In the last of the series, PI Delts second team lost to the Nu's in three games, 5-15, 15.1, 14-9.

COACH MARIOTTI

are pretty good students, that particular phase of their acade- mic program shows them up con- siderably. But I don't think that this is a major factor in recruit- ing. One of the biggest factors is that we are competing with, not major colleges for the good boys, but also against the junior colleges. In some instances the junior college offers a high school boy a better scholarship than a four year college can offer, and we have several junior colleges in the state that offer full scholar- ships. Boys these days are look- ing for the best deal they can possibly get. One of the main points we use in inducing a boy to come here is that we have a good academic program. We try to impress them and influence them in'that way. Accordingly, most of the boys we get are good boys academically. Last year's record will attest to that. I think the major problem is that there is so much competition."

"There are two things that ef- fect a basketball program. One is the entrance exams, and the other is the number of scholarships that you can offer. I know that our school is probably a little harder to get into than some of the other schools that we have to compete against. Although this reduced the total number that would be suit-

able for a particular school, as far as the scholarships are con- cerned, the more boys you have the more personnel it's going

to require, that is coaching per- sonnel....K takes at least fifteen, players to start a season. You are going to lose maybe two through academic difficulties, and you arei going to be real lucky to go through a season without an inju ry of some sort that will keep one or maybe two of your key players out of a number of games. Naturally we would like to have more scholarships, but the present sit- uation is not hampering the team'.« prospects."

When asked what single factor the coach would like to see im- proved, he answered: "Probably overall, though we have done an excellent job, Ithink what success we have had in the past was a re- sult of shooting. We have had good shooters, and I think they are primarily responsible for our winning as many games as we have. What we need to improve the most on is our defense. That would probably be our weakest department. The reason for this is we lacked the team speed. In order to play good defense, you have to have quick, agile, speedy types of boys. If you can't move you can't play defense. We have had one or two boys that play, but we have to get five boys that can play defense. I believe that his would be the phase of our game that would need most improve- ment."

The scene changed to the LC home courts last Friday after- noon, as the Panthers faced the North Georgia tennis team. Ralph Kuhn, now playing in the number two position, won his match, and Buddy McTureous, playing in the number five position, also won his.
