Sunday's Parents-Frosh

Day Hopes To Raise

Standards, Says Henry On Sunday, November 10, par-

ents of freshmen and all new students will have the opportunity to participate in a new policy here at LaGrange College.

Sunday will mark the beginning of Parents-Freshmen Day. The meeting Sunday will mark the beginning of what is slated to become an annual event.

Talking about the event to.be held Sunday, Dr. Waights G. Henry, president of LaGrange College, said, "This is an effort' to reduce the number of defi- ciency reports which students receive each quarter and to contin- ue our advancement toward higher academic standards. We hope that these sessions will pro- mote a better scholastic program at our college."

At 1:30 on Sunday there will be a panel discussion presented by the president, the academic dean, and the five division chair- men. Following this, the parents will have an opportunity to talk to their son's or daughter's academic advisor concerning the progress or lack of progress being made by these students.

Parents have been invited to come on Saturday in order that they might attend the play "In- herit The Wind", to be perform- ed in Dobbs Auditorium next Friday and Saturday nights.

Prize Play Opens LC Theatre Year He That Troubleth His Own House ...

BY CINDY BENNETT

Inherit The Wind, the Pulitzer prize-winning play by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, will open the cur- rent season of the LaGrange College theatre Friday and Saturday, November 8 and 9. The play will be presented in Dobbs Auditorium, with the curtain rising at 8:00 P. M.

and Ken Chapman in a scene ulitzer-prize play will be staged the 8th, and Saturday, the 9th, will be at 8:00 o'clock in Dobbs

The play is based on the fa- mous Scopes "monkey trial" in Dayton, Tennessee, in 1925. Dur- ing his trial, Scopes, a young sci- ence instructor, was convicted for having taught Darwin's the- ory of evolution in the local high school. The lawyer for the prosecution was actually William Jennings Bryan, the great funda- mentalist tub thumper who was three times defeated as the Dem- ocratic candidate for president.

Clarence Darrow, lawyer for the defense, took Scopes' case because he believed that the right to think was on trial. John Tho- mas Scope was the young teacher who was arrested for teaching that the Biblical account of the creation .could not be taken liter- ally, and that man has evolved in a long process from single- celled animals.

WAA Makes Change In Stunt Night Date, Reset For Nov. 14

Stunt Night has been set for Thursday, Nov. 14. Originally it had been scheduled for October 25, which carried on the tradition of having Stunt Night on the Friday before the Saturday of Homecoming.

This year, however, it was brought to the attention of the W. A. A. that due to the Home- coming parade, a new event, there would not be enough time for a successful Stunt Night. The students would, have to be work- ing on floats in addition to the usual preparations for Homecom- ings Therefore, Stunt Night has been put o,fr three .weefts, and it is hoped that this will make it

stated in the ruling that the sav- ing of places for students is prohibited and all students must stand up while waiting to get their trays. A student may sit down while waiting for the line to decrease but when he gets up he must go to the end of the line for his place.

The proposal to enact the new ruling was passed by the votes of twelve legislature members. Six vetoed the proposal, therefore enabling the proposal to pass with a two-thirds vote of the quorum.

Also at the meeting it was an- nounced by Millarti Martin, SGA president, that in the very near future, students with cars on campus must register them. Parking permits will be issued for a small fee. Any student having a car on campus will have to have a sticker. Automobiles not having one will be towed to town at the owner's expense. .

Appeals of parking violations will be handled by the student judicial council. An announce- ment will be made when - £he. stickers are available to the stu-

The actual trial was conducted like a carnival with souvenir vendors and drum beating. It aroused the amusement and in- dignation of the country. The ju- ry remained loyal to Bryan and convicted Scope, but during the trial, Darrow exposed Bryan's ignorance and bigotry. Bryan died in his sleep, at 65, only five days after the trial.

The play, though dealing with the "monkey trial", is not history. Some of the characters in the play are related to the colorful figures in that battle of giants, but they have a life and language all their own. The collision of Darrow and Bryan was dramatic, but it was not drama. Moreover, the issues of their conflict have acquired new meaning in the thirty-odd years since they clashed. "Inherit The Wind'' does not pretend to be journalism; it is theatre. It is not 1925; it- might have been yesterday; it could be tomorrow.

The LaGrange College production will feature Sam Saxon as "Mathew Harrison Brady", lawyer for the prosecution, and Billy Hearnberg as' "Henry Drum- mond", lawyer for the defense. Both Saxon and Hearnberg are familiar faces on the LC stage. Among others in the cast are Ro- bin Hood, who will create the role of "Mrs. Brady", and, new to our stage, Jay Clark, Nancy Osbourne, Wayne, Minor, and High Duskin. George Timmons is

HILLTOP NEWS — LAGRANGE COLLEGE Tuesday, November 5, 1963

Two Wrongs - Nobody Right On Friday of last week LaGrange College students

were faced with pop quizzes which professors had been requested to give during the classes of the day. Some students met such tests in all of their three classes. The action was provoked due to a small minority of students who celebrated Halloween through excessive and, in some cases, potentially dangerous, pranks. The tests were given as punishment for the activities of the ev- ening.

Error can be found here on the side of both the pro- voker and the provoked.

We stand in opposition to such a practice that would suggest to a professor when he should give a test, how he should give a test, and why the test should be given.

A number of professors did not give the tests. Others gave such tests but no grade was recorded. We think these to be judicious actions on the part of those faculty members.

We stand just as firmly in opposition to the conduct of the minority of students whose Thursday night per- formance required such action to be taken. The storm- ing of Smith Dormitory, building a fire on the patio (high wind and thirty-one days wthout rain) and hurl- ing roles of toilet paper from the windows of the Broad Street dormitory were unaccountable actions.

This lack of observance of rules requires regulation certainly, but such regulation lies in the realm of student government control.

But the storm has now passed, as do all such storms. It would be wise, however, for all parties concerned to store away such experiences into some readily accessi- ble nitch of the mind for ready reference for future action or better still, ready reference for future inaction.

Letter To The Editor Dear Harrassed and Hungry Student:

I couldn't help but notice your most biting letter in the last Hilltop News. Obviously, you had some small gripe about the band at the Homecom- ing dance.

Let me say first that I also wish that they had never come, and I wish even more that I had not been the one to recommend them, but the Yan- kee's luck changed too.

As to your candid quotation of the word "band", I find this most annoying. Any normal human, except the most devoted prophets of rock 'n roll, recognized from the first that they were very much a band. In case you didn't notice, there were 3 saxophones, one trumpet, one drum, and one piano. This, my learned friend, is a band. No doubt, the absence of an out-of-tune guitar made you think this was not a band, at least not the kind that you are used to.

The 1920 speakeasy of which you refer must have been built in the last 5 years, for, although out of place at such a dignified orgy as a Home- coming dance, the music WAS modern.

Your suggestions are good. They bear consideration. But I suggest that you give a little more consideration to your terms before you fly off the handle about a subject which you obviously don't understand.

By the way, the band WAS paid. I paid them just before I left with my date to go up to the student center and dance.

Mickey Johnson Student Chairman Homecoming, 1963

Men In Quotes To the Editor:

We are still feeling pains of embarrassment from a certain group of "men" students here at LaGrange College. Why? Last weekend we girls were going to help a group of "men" students prepare an entry iri the Homecoming parade, but we had to leave before anything was accomplish- ed because of the gross language and actions of these so-called "men" students. This is only one instance of the crude behavior to which we have been subjected.

Everywhere the students gather — in the cafeteria, the student center, and on the patio — the "men" of LaGrange College seem to be competing for the coveted title of "Most Vulgar", "Most Rude", "Most Inconsiderate", etc. The audience for these exhibitions, the girls of LC, are not at all entertained or impressed by these examples of uncivilized barbarity.

To be more specific, let us cite other examples of the said behavior. To "men" students, it seems most ludicrous to cram food in glasses, which were not designed for this purpose, or to mix food together with a sizable proportion of liquid. And, then they complain about the amount of time it takes the Negro help to empty the trays.

Gentlemanly behavior seems to be beneath the LaGrange College male. For example, the "men" students think nothing of allowing a girl to hold a door to let a herd of them stampede through, while they trample you, kick you, or poke you in the ribs. What happened to the words "excuse me"? Instead, you hear a growling, "Watch out!"

We, the women students of LC, do not expect perfection, but we do desire and demand respect and courtesy from the "men". Of course, there is a very small minority which maintains a vestige of the characteristics which should be synonymous with the word men — without quotes.

Reader Questions Hilltop News To the Editor:

On the 23rd of October, Mr. James Bentley de- livered to the students of LaGrange College an insult of the highest degree. He came to speak to us in a chapel program1 and was completely un- prepared. Compounding this discourtesy, he pro- ceded to say not one thing which college students in their second, third, or fourth years need to hear repeated in chapel. The lack of content and organization was obvious. Many students have op- enly expressed their dissatisfaction.

I realize that there were possibly circumstances behind his unpreparedness which ahe unknown to us, so I shall not criticize him further. Nor do I wish to criticize the chapel committee; if anything, they are to be commended for this attempt to improve the quality of the chapel program. My complaint is with The Hilltop News.

When the paper appeared on the Tuesday mor- ning (October 29) following Mr. Bentley's chapel visit, there was not one word of comment on his address. Is it not. the purpose of a college newspaper to report news which is of relevance to the students and to reflect their thinking? If so, The Hilltop News has erred. This lack of coverage indicates to readers, both on campus and off, that the students are willing to accept, without dis- crimination, anything set before them. Is the staff (which includes sixteen writers and reporters) so concerned about the reaction of faculty and ad- ministration that they prefer to ignore items of possible controversy rather than take the chance of being censored? The newspaper staff certainly has not chosen the most advantageous course in this instance. Unacknowledgement of facts any- where on a college campus denotes an unhealthy situation.

I do not desire to see printed slams against anyone; what I expect is a newspaper which gives a complete report on all incidents directly concerning the students.

Faculty Members Take Quiz; Question- "Just What Makes A Good Teacher?"

Editor's Note: This is the I second in a series of articlesl by Cindy Bennett, Hilltop] News stait reporter, dealing] with the education received at LaGrange College, the el- ements which compose this education, and its values.

BY CINDY BENNETT "A good teacher is one who

loves his students and their de- velopment." Mr. Ezra Sellers responded simply, directly, and meaningfully to a question which has been of prime concern to ed- ucators for centuries. The Hill- top News asked Mr. Sellers and six other professors the question, "Just what makes a good teacher?"

Mr. Carleton Guptill answered: "First, he is one who can moti- vate his students to learn. Then he is a person well enough prepared that he can guide students and give them something once they have been motivated."

Dr. Shibley approached the question from the negative side. "No person is perfect. Every teacher knows there are areas in which he falls short. He may lack the milk of human kindness, or lack compassion for the undedi- cated student, or he may lack competence in certain areas himself. Sometimes the question, 'Am I. making this material relevent to these students who will live fifty years longer than I?' occurs to a teacher. Coming out of the negative, one would like to have a sense of dedication to effort, complete commitment to learning on the part of the student."

According to Mr. A. M. Hicks, a good teacher is "A person who puts his teaching obligation to the student before other obliga- tions, and one who keeps abreast of his field so that his students will be as well equipped as possible to work in that field or have a thorough understanding of the material in that field. Teach- ing must come first, before faculty meetings and committee meetings.

Mr. McCook said that several words ocQurred to him which might be used to define a good teacher: "Creative, responsive to student's needs, willing to learn."

Mr. McCook elaborated that a good teacher "must recognize that learning is a continuous process, and must be willing to con- tinue his own growth with his students. A good teacher is one who works cooperatively with his students in their search for knowledge, realizing that as a teacher he has the responsibility not only to share his own knowledge and insight, but to stimu- late his students to levels of understanding which exceed bis own level."

Mr. Brown of the history department said that it is necessary for a good teacher to have "a love of his subject and the con- viction that his subject is im- portant and worthwhile. He must feel that a knowledge of his subject can make a difference to bis students." Mr. Brown added a footnote to his evaluation of a good teacher. "Besides a convic- tion for his own subject, a teach-

er must have respect for the oth- e» subjects in the curriculum' so that there can be relatedness. No teacher should teach with blind- folds on, thinking that his is the only subject of importance to his students."

Dr. Estes of the speech and

drama department agreed with Mr. Brown, adding that a teacher must "first of all be able to com- municate with his students. The teacher should act as the catalist in the classroom in the reaction between the student and knowledge."

The Hilltop News has chosen Miss Ann Herren as this week's Sweetheart of The Hill. Ann is a freshman from Powder Springs, Georgia. During this year's Homecoming festivities at LaGrange College she represented the Chrlstadelphlans and the Pre-Min- isterial Association as their Homecoming candidate.

Less Emotionalism On Civil Rights Brooks Hays Advises South

3ixokj Hays, special assistant t J president Kennedy, on campus for the Arthur H. Thompson Lecture Series, said the public reaction to the present admini- stration is "generally favorable". Hays made the statement in a special interview.

The presidential assistant also said he felt President Kennedy is stronger now than he was when he took office.

"Where conservation is ex- treme it is not in the country's interest," said Hays when asked of the growing conservative trend in the nation."

"We call it reactionism. There is such a thing as radical conser- vatism as there is radical liber- alism, and neither is good.

"What I like to think of in America is an honest confronta- tion of issues with people who differ in their temperament but who are men and women of good will and are trying to ascertain what is best for the country."

Asked if Mr. Kennedy's stand on Civil Rights might cost hiir. a

larse nu.xber of votes in the 1964 election, Hays~ said, "No, I don't think so. I think even in the South it is apparent that Pre- sident Kennedy is himself a mo- derate because he is trying to be president of all the people. I think he wants a workable Civil Rights bill. What I would like to see in the South is less emotionalism on the Civil Rights issue."

This was Hays' sixth speaking engagement in a series of 13 at colleges across the country.

Sigma Nu Griders Spook Gamma Goblins, 12-0

BAD KNIGHT HAUNTS GAMMA PHI Sigma Nu Pi went "trick or

treating" last week and took the tricks and the treats from Gam- ma Phi Alpha 12-0, and broke the two-way tie for second place.

Sigma Nu struck early in the first period after Jerry Moore blocked a punt on Gamma's 39. From there Ted Alford moved the Sigma's in five plays to a touchdown.

Alford hit Jimimy Matthews twice and Billy Joe Hyatt once to carry the ball to the Goblin 17. From here Alford threw to Charlie Knight on two screen passes — the last one for the TD.

Later in the half Sigma worked the ball to Gamma 10, but gave up possession on downs. The half ended with Sigma Nu out front 6-0.

The second half was mostly defensive until Charlie Knight intercepted a Bobby Witcher pass in the end zone late in the game.

Passes to Harold Tarpley, a new pledge for Sigma Nu, was fundamental in keeping up a drive that finally resulted in Sigma Nu's second TD.

3-Way Tie Possible After Today's Game

A possible three-way tie hangs in the balance of today's game between Gamma Phi and Pi Delt.

. Should Pi Delt win this game, there will be a three-way tie for first place in men's intramural football play.

PI DELTS DEFEAT SIGMA NU FOE 6-0 IN INTRAMURAL PLAY

Pi Delta Kappa capitalized on pass interceptions against Sigma Nu last week, snatching four, one of which set up the winning TD in the 6-0 victory.

Pi Delt's Don Mullin and Rich- ard Menendez picked off two passes each. In the first half Mullin intercepted, on the Pi D 35 to start the scoring drive.

David Travis hit Taylor New- ton deep in Sigma Nu land and moved inside the 20 on a pass to Mullin. After /moving the ball to the 10 Travis rounded left end, dariking and twisting to evade defenders for the score.

In the second half Sigma Nu's chai.ces f jr a score were enlight- ened when Billy Hearnberg fell on a fumbled punt reception on Pi D's 39. However, the Sigma offense stalled and Pi Delt took possession.

A few plays later the Sigma Nu's were given the golden opportunity when, with Pi Delt in punt formation, a bad pass from center rolled all the way from the Sigma Nu(24 to the Pi Delt 21. Sigma Nu was robliied of'.any scoring chances when DOB

lin intercepted deep jn his. own territory.

With only three plays left in the game, Jimmy Matthews took a deflected pass off a Goblin de- fender in the end zone.

The Goblin were never a scoring threat, getting tne ball past midfield only three times in the game.

DeanOf Academics, Chapel Review Weekly Programs BY MICKEY JOHNSON "After the chapel committee

report last spring, I thought that d^apel would be different. I must admit that I'm disappointed."

This comment from a LaGran- ge College student echoes the feelings of both students and faculty alike concerning chapel. The report referred to was the result of a special faculty committee appointed last spring quarter to investigate chapel and to see in what ways it could be improved.

Dr. Toombs Kay, Dean of Chapel, told The Hilltop News that chapel by its definition im- plies a religious service. In order to make this more apparent to the students in strictly religious services, a worship center has been constructed and will be put in use in the near future.

When asked about a variety in the programs, Dr. Kay said that several factors, including a low budget, prohibited to an extent the scheduling of certain programs. One student suggested

Dr. James Westberry Heads Commission On Georgia Book Finding

The Georgia State Literature Commission met on the LaGran- ge College campus Thursday. The Commission was set up to look into obsenity in books on the news stands.

Dr. James Westberry, chairman of the commission, told The Hilltop News that the group met to discuss complaints from Sa- vannah about some 16 books. He said the commission "made a finding of fact on three of the books."

"A finding of fact," Dr. West- berry said, "means that there is enough evidence of obsenity in the books so that the solicitor general could win a court case."

According to Dr. Westberry, the standard for judging the books is the Supreme Court ruling on obsenity.

Homecoming Impresses Alums BY ELAINE SMITH

"Homecoming has been specta- cular!", commented Mrs. Jeanette Melung Pitsch, alumna of 1953. "I think that this year's classes have really shown school spirit through enthusiastic participation in this year's Homecoming activities."

The weekend of October 26 proved to be an eventful one for LC. Many alumni returned to familiar grounds to reminisce with old friends, and old LC itself. Many alumni were surprised and pleased to see such great changes and improvements on the Hill.

remarked, "Having a parade is a great improvement in the homecoming activities since a parade tends to focus the attention of the whole town on LC.

All agreed on the smoothness in which the activities were carried out and on the loveliness of the twenty-one beauties vying for the title of Miss LC Home- coming Queen 1964.

"I was delighted to see con- testants who I had known last year," said Nancy Shanahan, alumna of 1963. "I think these girls were well chosen."

Many people from distant places came to pay respect to their alma mater and many will be sure to return next year.

Mr. and Mrs, Ernest McClen- don, alumni of 1953, concluded in saying, "We were so impressed with this year's Homecoming that we're going to make eivery possible effort to come ^ again. next year." '-^■■MjM*H*1' . •■SUMS******-''

that forums, debates, and discus- sions might add some spice to the ten o'clock hour.

Dr. C. Lee Harwell, Academic Dean, told The Hilltop News that he thought a certain amount of variety had been achieved chis year. He went on to say that the programs for the rest of the quarter should hold some interest for the students.

When asked about possible programs, Dr. Harwell said that faculty members might offer in- teresting programs.

The report submitted to the faculty committee suggested that maybe two programs a month be of a religious nature, and two be secular. The report went on to say that this might help build up interest in chapel and its programs.

The picking of speakers and programs for chapel was a point of question by a student. Dr. Kay informed the News that the choosing of programs was a cor- porate function, divided usually between the committee, Dr. Kay, the faculty, and the administra- tion. Dr. Kay noted, however, that several times student suggestions for possible speakers were* followed.

Dr. Kay said in speaking of the variety of the programs, that it is hard to have a different kind of program every week owing to existing conditions.

Student opinion is that something needs to be done about chapel. Many students are of the opinion that chapel is now, to quote a campus leader, "just a waste of time."
