Kappa, Gamma Phi restricted for improper rush procedure

The Pan-Hellenic Council has placed Gamma Phi Alpha and Kappa Phi Delta on social proba- tion due to improper rush pro- cedure.

The probation will extend through the rest of fall quarter and all of winter quarter. These two Greeks will be allowed to participate in intramurals and the Homecoming activities; however, no bids can be sent out from either Kappa Phi Delta or Gamma Phi Alpha until next fall.

Dr. J. L. Kovar, chairman of the Pan-Hellenic Council, sub- mitted the following statement to the Hilltop News:

In a called meeting of the Pan- Hellenic with all members of the Council present, on November 1, 1962, the Sigma Nu Pi fraternity brought against Kappa Phi Delta and Gamma Phi Alpha the fol- lowing accusations:

1.) On September 19, 1962, Gamma Phi and Kappa Phi broke

FESTIVITIES SLATED FOR HOMECOMING

Homecoming weekend will get underway on Wednesday night, November 15, at 6 o'clock when judges and Homecoming Queen contestaits gather in the dining hall for dinner. Afterwards all will proceed to the Simpson Room in the gymnasium where the judging will take place. The nam- es of the Homecoming Queen and her Court will be announced at the half-time of the Alumni-Vars- ity basketball game on Homecom- ing Day, Saturday, November 17.

On Thursday night, November 16, at 8 o'clock the LaGrange Men's Alumni Club will inaugu- rate the Panther Preview, the first basketball game of the sea- son. Freshmen will play the up- perclassmen. Proceeds of the game will be used to sponsor a basket- ball banquet and to purchase a trophy for an outstanding player. Student tickets are 25c and are on sale in the alumni office.

The LaGrange Men's Alumni Club are making plans for the Panther Preview to become an annual affair and a permanent part of the Homecoming weekend activities.

LOS HI JOS DEL CID Los Hijos Del Cid, the Spanish

Club, met Tuesday at 6:15 in the Bailey Room for a special pro- gram.

A report on a recent trip to Mexico was presented with slides and discussions were led by Bar- bara and Sylvia Cowan. Sylvia graduated from LC in June of 1962.

2.) On October 28, 1962, Gamma Phi and Kappa Phi again broke the restriction of silence by sing- ing their fraternal songs before ten o'clock and being outside their designated building; thus,

restricting the movement of all boys to get to the places of the other fraternities.

Upon the presentation of evi- dence and in deliberation of all arguments for and against the alleged complaint, the Council pronounced the unanimous ver- dict: social probation for two com- plete quarters, yet being allowed participation in the above men- tioned activities.

By Pat Lanham "Look Homeward, Angel" will

be the first production of the sea- son presented by the LaGrange College Curtain Raisers. The dra- ma will be presented Friday and Saturday evenings, November 9- 10.

Dr. Max Estes, new head of the Drama and Speech Department, will direct this first production. Dr. Estes, who joined the LC fa- cul'y during the summer, studied at Emory-at-Oxford and Georgia Southern and earned his doctor-

Emergency Food By John White

Emergency food supplies have begun arriving and are being stored in their assigned area, says Mr. Austin Cook, LaGrange Col- lege Business Manager. Campus chefs, in cooperation with Civil Defense authorities, planned a 2- week emergency menu for use in the event of nuslear attack.

"Purchase of the food," Mr. Cook continued, "was made with school funds, and it will consist of fruit juices, canned meats, canned vegetables, dry cereals, evaporated and powdered milk and other foods that can be stor- ed for an 18-month period. To keep the food fresh Mr. Cook stated that some of it will be used and replaced with fresh supplies.

Asked whether any funds were available by the Federal Govern- ment, he said, "I know of none."

STUDENT POLL Being asked their personal opinions, students recognized the au-

thority of the Pan-Hellenic Council in the recent probation of Kappa Phi Delta and Gamma Phi Alpha:

RANDY EDGAR and SIDNEY JOHNSTON — Everyone will be hurt by this.

FRANK BOOZER — It will be good for everyone — fraternities and sororities will now respect the rules.

RANDA VINSON — I think it is a shame that they are on pro- bation. I think they are taking it real well.

BILLY JOE HYATT — I don't think there should be any ill feel- ings between fraternities or so- rorities because Pan-Hellenic rul- ed on the question. It wasn't up to any one group.

JOYCE HUDSPETH — I think that it has drawn Kappa Phi and Gamma Phi closer together.

DICK AUNSPAUGH — I am not familiar with the charges brought against Gamma Phi and Kappa Phi, but I feel that any

failure to live up to the rules of Pan-Hellenic was not intentional.

ROBIN HOOD — It must have been for a good reason or Pan- Hellenic wouldn't have done it. I am sorry it had to happen, but you have to abide by the rules.

TERESA HICKS — I don't feel I'm qualified to give an opinion as I'm a transfer student and am not familiar with the situation.

JUDY HAYES — For a long time now the fraternity-sorority relationships have not been good. And to be honest, I feel that what happened Thursday night goes a lot deeper than what appeared on the surface. I hope that some good will come of this for everyone concerned.

SANDY TURNER — If they react to this in the right way it will benefit them and it will prove what kind of spirit they really have.

periences in the field of mission- ary work.

The convention was brought to a close on Sunday by Dr. Chafin. His message was directed to the young people to challenge them to lead a Christian life.

Those attending from LC were Barbara Starr, president; Ginny Howard, vice-president; Nancy Chambless, secretary; Curtis Chapman, program chairman; Ro- ger Weaver and Wayne Minor.

ate at Florida State University. Drama student Billy Hearnburg,

a junior from LaGrange, will portray the central character. Miss Sylvia Strickland, assistant professor of speech, will play the female lead. Miss Strickland per- forms in at least one play each year just as music professors are presented in recital from time to time.

Other members of the cast se- lected by Dr. Estes include Arlin Wallace, Nancy McDonald, Nan- cy Hammett, John White, Gary Brown, Drue Linton, Annette Adams, Sandra Lester, Carol Rip- ley, Chip Fortenberry, Donna Clark, Dean Brown, Lynda Bor- den, J. Pratt Hubbard, Johnny Long, Karen Wohlgemuth, and Stanley Harper.

This great Broadway produc- tion, which was written by Ketti Frings, is based on Thomas Wolfe's famous autobiographical novel by the same name. It was winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the New York Critics Award.

Curtain time each evening will be at 8 o'clock in Dodds Audi- torium.

LC faculty holds discussion groups

Members of the LaGrange Col- lege Faculty are exchanging ideas and philosophies in informal fa- culty discussion groups once a month.

And the spontaneous discuss- ions stimulate an interrelation of ideas between faculty in the various departments on The Hill, according to Dr. Zachery Taylor, chairman of the discussion group.

The discussion group was or- ganized last month. Since then there have been two meetings, both deemed successful.

The faculty members meet at Room 310 in Manget the first Saturday of every month. For several years, the discussion group has been in the talking stage, according to Dr. Taylor. "We of the faculty recognized a lack that we had due to our small college," he said. He explained that this lack came in that each professor here is almost an entity in himself as far as his special field goes. And the discussion group, where there can be an in- terrelation of specialties and fields, remjedies thlis problem, Taylor said.

At the beginning of each ses- sion, certain designated faculty members present a "baby paper", or a talk aimed at naming, stim- ulating and channeling discussion. Then spontaneous discussion fol-

lows. The group wishes to avoid for-

mal organization as much as pos- sible and aims at informality. Dr. Zachery Taylor was elected chair- man of the group and Dr. John D. Anderson vice-chairman.

Future plans include possible invitations to a select group of students to join the discussion group and taping transcripts of the talks for publishing in ab- stract.

D'S/ F's SET RECORD The largest number of deficien-

cy reports in the history of La- Grange College were sent out on October 30, and 201 different stu- dents and their parents were no- tified of inferior work being done in various subjects.

Deficiency reports are issued on ^he basis of the mid-term grades, "D", or passing grades, and "F", or failing grades, that are turned in to the Dean's office.

Numerical breakdown shows that 147 "D" deficiencies were issued and 128 "E" and "F" com- binations were issued. Of these, 49 students received two deficien- cies, twelve students received three deficiencies, and three stu- dents received three "F" defic- iencies for their inferior work.

ADVANTAGES OF POWER In the last few weeks, the citizens of the United States

have been constantly reminded that they live in a free country and that they should be proud of their heritage. I'm sure that all will agree that this as a good thing, this freedom and justice. But I am also sure that there are some, on the campus for instance, who would say that freedom and justice have a limit.

What do I mean by a limit? That's simple. The students at this college can be free as long as they don't abuse it. That's right, and that's the way it should be. Unfortunately, our concept of justice is a- bit warped.

We are all human beings, and as humans we are ex- pected to do things a little bit out of the ordinary. These actions, or whatever you want to call them, sometimes re- sult in harm and destruction. Naturally, the wrong-doers should be brought to justice.

Just what is justice? Is it Gestapo tactics in an all-night house meeting, giving demerits for "general principles," or just plain taking advantage of power?

If justice is to be done, it seems to me that those who are in authority should be aware of limits and should use a little common sense when it comes to matters of discipline. Man is an animal, and the animal's first natural instinct is to fight. The harder you hit, the harder he is going to fight. Why can't the Student Government see that the students would be a little more cooperative if they weren't stepped on every time they breathed.

As collge students, we are right next to adulthood. Let's start acting like adults.

INFIRMARY CHANGES Recognition should be given to the fine changes in the

present conditions of the infirmary. This year seems to be the first in the history of the college that we have had not one, but two registered nurses on campus at all times. As a matter of fact, it is the first time that we have any register- ed nurses here at all. Miss Linda Duggan and Miss Carol Sandiford have done an excellent job not only in admin- istering medications, but also in organizing the whole in- firmary set-up.

It was a badly needed change that came none too soon. As LaGrange College continues to grow, so will the need for additional health services. We not only have the services of these two registered nurses, but also the emergency services of the complete Clark-Holder Clinic.

The facilities for preparing special menus has also been added. The nurses prepare them.

The interest of the nurses in the students was recently evidenced by the fact that they had distributed some health tips that all students should follow. The prevention of spreading sickness to other students is always a problem. These nurses are well-qualified and we, the students, should follow their instructions exactly as they ask. Three dollars is a small price to pay for flu shots if it will prevent us from getting sick.

We should all be proud of our new infirmary and let Misses Duggah and Sandiford know this by following their advice.

Thank goodness, we can no longer complain of inade- quate infirmary facilities!

YOUR PRIMARY GOAL You have chosen LaGrange College for your residence

for the next year and maybe years to come. In that time, you must decide what college means to you and what you expect to get out of it. College offers many opportunities— social, religious, and academic. Here's hoping you make your primary goal education, so you will be prepared for the life that is to come all too soon.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Restrictions for unpledged By Suzanne Clark

The event that transpired on November 1 should be well known by readers of this article: the so- rority Kappa Phi Delta and the fraternity Gamma Phi Alpha were put on social probation.

I wish to present a side of the above said event that needs con- sideration. Who is getting pun- ished? The sorority and fraterni- ty or the unpledged persons on the Hill?

Indeed, it is we, the members of what may be termed Gamma

Delta Iota, who shall have to suf- fer. We, like all others, have only one sorority or fraternity which we wish to join ....

Kappa Phi Delta and Gamma Phi Alpha cannot bid for a year. There are others like me . . . who feel that in this event rather un- pleasant feelings towards the col- lege may result.

Indeed, this is not a social re- striction for the sorority or fra- ternity, but a ban put on persons . . . .who have definite feelings about what they want.

Greek spirit cannot be moved By Sam Saxon

Thursday night, November 1, 1962, I witnessed an occurrence that was so impressive to me that I must share it with my fellow students.

On Thursday night at about 9:30 I was told there was to be an important meeting of my fra- ternity in Manget at 10:00.

I we"' there wondering why *72 were rreating. On the way I was told thrU the meeting had been called because the fraternity and our sister sorority had been placed on social probation by the Pan-Hellenic Council. This sur- prised me and I wondered what the reaction of the others would be.

That reaction is what I want to tell all the world about because the depth and maturity of that reaction leads me to believe that there is not only a spark but a glowing flame of responsibility in my generation.

I saw file into that room in Manget a group of hurt, partly bewildered, and extremely pride- ful people. They felt for the mo- ment that they had been kicked squarely in the teeth, there was some bitterness and some resent- ment.

As our leaders spoke to us and

told us the penalty and the of- fense we were being punished for, and told us that we must not blame anyone for our temporary hardship but we should rather show to them the respect and spirit that we have always showed the world. I saw those bewildered people stiffen their backs and hold up their heads. They became bound together by "esprit de corps" and warmer spirit of friendship than they had ever be- fore possessed.

They filed out of Manget in si- lence with an air of calm and as- surance about them. They as- sembled on the patio to sing their love of life to all the world. As they sang the Alma Mater of La- Grange College to the campus and the world a feeling of joy and pride warmed my heart. Then a spirit that cannot be conquered welled up in them as they sang a spiritual "I Shall Not Be Moved" and fraternity and sorority songs.

A spirit that can take the in- evitable adversities of life with- out griping at life but singing its love of life in the very teeth of hardship is indeed a spirit that cannot be moved.

P. S. It seems to me a signifi- cant coincidence that November 1 was All Saints Day.

New tennis courts need our care

By Chuck Nixon It may not be my place to do

so, but as an interested party, I would like to suggest to the L. C. student body that we take great pains in preserving our new ten- nis courts. These courts were ex- pensive and deserve our consid- eration in two ways. First, we should use them regularly not on- ly for enjoyment but also for im- provement in the art of the game, in physical fitness, and in agility. Secondly, we should take care to treat the surfaces kindly with the right kind of shoes and not tamp- er with the nets, net ties, wench- es, and cables.

It is often said that nut grass grows most abundantly in asphalt. This seems to be true if we look at the old courts behind Manget. We should take it upon ourselves

to keep a sharp lookout for any grasses creeping in from outside the fence. Once their roots became embedded in the undersurface dirt, there is little hope of stop- ping their growth. This growth may even spread underneath the surface and spring up a consider- able distance from the original sprout which was close to the fence.

Tennis interest has steadily de- clined at L. C, probably because of poor courts and having no one to coach, not lack of interest. I would like to see tennis right up along side the Panthers. This can be accomplished if we show the college administration that we want a good tennis team, and I'm sure they will provide the neces- sary financial help as well as a worthy coach.

Girls ensemble The Ensemble, a group for girls

only who are interested in and en- joy singing, is not functioning this quarter. According to Dr. An- derson, it is the hope of the mu- sic department to try to get the Ensemble started again in the fu- ture, but not immediately.

A teacher is allowed only fif- teen hours, and with music labs and private lessons each teacher has almost a full schedule. Dr. Anderson stated however, that if any girls were interested in singing there are still some open- ings for girls voices in the Chor- alaires.

with Lou Gys

It's not the clothes that make the man today, it's the label in those clothes. Gant, London Fog, Gold Cup, Weejun, Jockey, and Hickey Freeman are just a few of the trade names which pass through the minds of today's la- bel-conscious college students. One just wouldn't be heard say- ing, "That's a sharp shirt you have on." Never! Today on the college campus the word is, "That's a sharp Gant you have on." In other words, if you don't have that loop on the back of the shirt it is not worth complimenting.

Other companies are realizing this fact also, and to get back into competition they are putting loops on their shirts too. This is putting the college student in a tizzy. Now their fellow students will not realize that they are the proud owners of a GANT shirt. Just think, it may be a Penny's origi- nal.

The same thing holds true for shoes, belts, slacks, suits, ties, socks, and yes, underwear too. You're just nobody unless you wear Jockey shorts and tee shirts.

Up until now I have directed my comments to only the male class of label-conscious buyers. The female set are just as bad, if not more so. Harburt, Villager, Lady Gant, Weejun, Canterbury, and Gold Cup are just a few of the brand names connected with the sophisticated better half. By the way, since I did give Jockey a plug, I must by all means give Vanity Fair one too.

For men, button down shirts, muted-rep ties, madras belts, and cordovan loafers and oxfords are a must. For the college woman we have wrap-around skirts, cu- lottes, man-tailored shirts, mad- ras belts, imported Italian hand- bags, and, of course, the hand- sewn Weejun loafer. Oh yes, we can't leave out madras, you know, that material that is guaranteed to fade. Years ago things were supposed to be color fast, now- adays if they don't lose their col- or through repeated washings, they are just not classed with the authentic imported Indian Mad- ras, A few years ago, the drip dry synthetics were just the thing — "little or no ironing!" Now it's wrinkle-fast oxford cloth, the cloth for the proud owner of a commercial laundry presser.

But if we really look at the facts, we must realize that brand names are just the outcome of good business tactics. These pro- ducts are put on the market be- cause they are exactly what the public wants. We buy it because we want it and because we know everyone else wants it. It all leads to conformity; the stuff which America thrives on. Conformity is a major part of America's you- th in spite of the individualistic ideals some of us brag about.

PEOPLE TO MEET By Ann McDonald

A LaGrange College coed called Guantanamo Bay "home" until two weeks ago.

Helga Heimer, Cuban transfer student from St. Petersburg Jun- ior College, remained calm throu- gh the evacuation of her family from Guantanamo in the Cuban crisis.

Helga has spent most of her 21 years on the Naval base at Guan- tanamo. In her own words, "It is a little world of its own with 1000 families." It is in this realm that her father, Mr. Oscar Heimer, has been and is actively engaged in the work of the Civil Service.

Helga received word of the crisis at her home base just as other LC students did — by radio and television. Naturally, she was greatly surprised and a little wor- ried about her family. She re- mained more calm than many of the girls however, and concern- ing the crisis, she made this state- ment, "I think everything will be compromised, for I can't believe that Russia wants war any more than we do." Her greatest feel- ings toward the situation were those of curiosity — to see what would happen next.

On the weekend of October 26- 28, Helga's mother, who had been evacuated from Guantanamo to Norfolk, Virginia, passed through LaGrange on her way, to Gaines- ville, Fla. She stopped and spent the night at LC. She shared with Helga the events leading to the evacuation and the two-day trip, to Norfolk. During our interview with Helga she disclosed many of these happenings to us.

Just prior to the evacuation, we were told, a major change came upon the base. The Army became newly stationed there, adding to the ranks of the Navy and the Marines. Tanks began to comb the area. Prior to this time, the weapons of war had been hidden from the civilians.

As the situation grew more serious, all women and children were ordered to evacuate. They were given three hours to board ship. Fifteen hundred people were aboard one large ship and the smaller one, which left a lit- tle later, was full of teachers who stayed to the last possible mo- ment. Their trip to another base

at Norfolk took two days, as a plane overhead hovered close at all times, until they reached land.

Speaking of her father, Helga says, "I am a little worried about him because the civil service per- sonnel are not trained in self- defense." Helga hopes, however, that her family will be reunited sometime this month.

Meanwhile, LC will be alert to world affairs — just as all con- cerned Americans will be. Hav- ing a special interest in the crisis, however, Helga Heimer eagerly awaits news of her family and her home she loves.

"The X-ian" By Stanley Harper

At the time of the writing of this article, it is a gross exagger- ation to boast that tomorrow is a certainty. Tomorrow makes no such claim for itself. Perhaps, then, the more religious students on campus will be greatly offend- ed at my slothfulness in letting an opportunity go by without preach- ing on the sinful state of man and his need of repentance and/or redemption through some virtue greater than his own. But that opportunity will go ungrasped, even untouched, by me in any ar- ticle I write or any deed I do between now and doom's day, a day which is now as commonly expected as Monday, Tuesday, or any other day.

I am no Socrates or Antigone or Jesus, but I am a human being who would rather die like one than become a bestial thing whose sole purpose in life is to scurry

Fall rush 1962 has ended at LaGrange o

Fall rush for LaGrange College ended last Thursday as sororities and fraternities welcomed their new pledges.

Rush is over, but it is not forgotten. It is particularly important to the new pledges. They, more than the old members lived rush. The mem- ory is a wonderful thing. It should never be tainted by the pledges learn- ing what was said at the bidding sessions. Bidding is secret — forever.

Now you, as pledges, are to know as much as you can about your new sorority or fraternity. You are to learn, during the pledge programs, how to be a good member.

To sorority and fraternity mem- bers be as pledges for a while to grasp again the beauty of a bro- therhood of which you are a part.

The 1962 Fall Quarter pledges, pledge officers, and respective meeting places are as follows:

Why did they not join? At LaGra lge College, each stu-

The fact that they did not is Into the"rtTelterbefore" any of thej certainly indicative of something. rest of the pack, clutching his survival kit greedily to his chest. The latest kit on the market con- tains a plastic bag in which one may deposit the remains of his mother or father or wife in order to contain the odor. The whole thing sounds like some drama by Jonathan Swift, Alfred Hitchcock, and Dr. Frankenstein.

We must not take part in the drama which has as its grand fi- nale something less than human- ity proclaiming "I survived!", while gnawing on a bloody car- cass of a slain animal. We must not let the fear of death take life

Why are you here? Parental pressures, social prestige?, or do you rank in the place of the few who are at LaGrange College to obtain a worthwhile education?

Think on these things.

But what? That is a point for ex- amination. The first and logical explanation is that they just do not want to. But why?

Is it too time-consuming? Fra- ernities and sororities necessarily take up time, but this should not be carried to the extreme. The individual can monitor his time so that this problem can be les- sened, and the organization can refrain from asking too much from him.

Is it too energy-consuming? This is just plain laziness. A per- son must have an avocation which he is willing to work for. To re- fuse to join on this pretense points to lack of initiative.

Not all of the student-faculty misunderstandings are based on fact and true analysis. It could easily be said, however, that most of them are.

from us. WE MUST NOT FOR- GET THOSE THINGS FOR WHI- CH WE WISH TO SURVIVE! We must live until we die.

The tyrants But if the present crisis has

usurped by virtue of fear our power to live life to the fullest, it also has exposed a great many tyrants of this age who have sought to accomplish the same usurpation of the same power.

The "over-extermely-leftist-ra- dical -'liberal-for-liberal's-sake' " has been so polted by the threat of nuclear war and annihilation that he has exposed himself. He has lifted the veil of cocky assur- ance to reveal a pseudo-messiah politely dedicated to reforming the world, the campus, his room- mate, or anyone else with whom he comes in contact. He is estab- lishing a Walden with himself as Thoreau. He has laughed with us at the ridiculous dogma of the ultra-conservative, but he fails to see himself as an expression of dogma AGAINST dogmatism, a legalist enforcing rules against le- galism, one who is intolerant of the non-tolerant. He quakes in the ugly face of crisis and grasps at the straw that is his life-blind dedication to a blind cause.

On the other side of the coin, the RIGHT side, if you please, is the X-ian. The abbreviation is not a mistake. He is not a CHRIST- ian. He is an X; an abbrevia- tion of the force that was Christ. He keeps all the rules, attends all the meetings, assumes all the pos- tures, and promptly condemns to a literal burning hell all those who do not. He too sets himself to the task of reformation with no less zeal than the dynamic young liberal. He is sure and will tolerate no questions. But when he thinks of Cuba and bombs and the basement of Turner Hall, all his certainties become terribly uncertain.

The threat of death And, at the threat of death,

(which everyone knows is just to sleep in Jesus), we see a rare thing. The very right and the very left, both positive that they and they alone are right, huddle to- gether and shiver and weep si-

lently. They realize that they have been dedicated to dedica- tion, obsessed with obsession, ; mg-ho for the sake of being gung-ho, void of real truth; they i-enr mber a 'ine from a poem: "We are the hollow men . . . ".

And those who have played cards in the little store shuffle and deal, jolted by no abrupt change.' They might laugh up their sleeves. They do no about- face, but continue to love life and to live it to the fullest. The only absolute religion — live life. This faith suffers no change with the possibility of destruction. Its fol- lowers have not been gung-ho, have proclaimed nothing, unfurl- ed no banners, crusaded nowhere. They have not been "religious". They have not been "atheist". They have accepted no titles, ex- cept maybe SEEKER, and they've not advertised that one. They have been uncertain; they do not change the direction of their search — merely search more ear- nestly.

They might laugh, but a brok- en human is a sad thing to see. And we are surrounded.

Not joined . . . Cont.

"They offer me nothing." Here is a classic example of "what you give, you get." All six organiza- tions on campus offer much, not the least of which is the chance to belong. One can sit back and expect, but he will probably be disappointed. The key to this sit- uation is to give, work, partici- pate, and by doing so, to receive.

Perhaps it is a problem of not getting the preferred bid. In this case, the student shows a loyalty worthy of brotherhood, and the sorority or fraternity is at loss by not bidding him or her. In past years, the bid comes in the next rush period.

The "just-didn't-want-to" per- son needs to examine his decision which points to an anti-social outlook or position. Sororities and fraternities also have the respon- sibility to correct this situation.

As stated before, on his cam- pus everyone is given a bid. For such a large number to reject the bids is indeed a matter of con- cern.

Panthers declare warfare By Clark Stone

Coach Al Mariotti will turn friend against friend Nov. 15 in tha Panther's debut for 1962-63 when his battle-scarred veterans square off against his inexper- ienced freshmen corps.

The outcome of this conflict of powers is about as predictable as saying that Jon Goldman will master his wall climbing act be- ore he graduates.

The following Saturday after-

black in a real clasher. The em- phasis is more on enjoying rather than on winning, but you can bet that the ole pros would love to upset the varsity.

With all their excitement, the first two games will look like Sunday school outings compared to the Southern States Warm-Up Tournament in Williamsburg, Ky. over the Thanksgiving holidays. The Panthers will be facing live

noon Homecoming, the old grads ammunition on this northern in- will once again adorn the red and vasion, but they have a few

bombs of their own. The Panthers have declared

"open warfare" on all GIAC op- ponents. Although the shooting is a month away the LC cagers are already sharpening their sights on the conference title.

However, on some of these cold autumn nights can still be heard the "rebel cry" of Valdosta State echoing across the vacated bas- ketball court and in the empty hall downstairs. A menu delight to Val State is "Panther stew", Rebel-style.

This south Georgia power hou- se is undefeated in the last two years of conference play, and it will take another battle of At- lanta to knock these champs off their cherished pedestal.

The Rebels have never faced General Mariotti on the field of battle, and his troop of Rebel- rousers may supply the KO punch needed to elevate Panther pres- tige.

I, for one, do not want to make any rash predictions as to the •outcome of this year's play, but when the smoke clears our LC Panthers should be very near the top. It looks like the best year yet.

TENNIS IMPROVES Tennis balls are already skim-

ming across the nets and bouncing on four new all-weather surfaced courts completed just this week at LaGrange College.

The four courts, constructed at a cost of $20,000, were made pos- sible with funds made available through a $250,000 Consolidation Fund currently being raised by a special committee of the college Board of Trustees.

Located on the southwest cor- ner of the campus near the gym- nasium and next to Vernon Street (U. S. Highway No. 20) the courts have a 10 foot fence on three sides and a 12 foot fence on the fourth, which faces the street.

New all-weather synthetic nets are in use on the courts. There are two entrances to the courts, one from Vernon Street and one from the gymnasium parking area.

A new sidewalk has been con- structed parallel to the street and the area between is being sodded.

Since the court surfaces are ad- mittedly not as tough as concrete, Dr. Judson B. Harris, head of the physical education department, has suggested that only regular low-cut tennis sneakers be worn on the courts.

Dr. Harris said that basketball shoes, because of their harder soles and sharper edges, should not be worn on the courts.
