JAN. 31, 1967 THE HILLTOP NEWS PAGE 2

You Are Boring How many times has the cry "this

place is so dead I could die of boredom" echoed thru these timeless halls of La- Grange College?

For those of you who have heard that question or are in the habit of asking it, I have some news. It is not the place that is dead and boring, it is the people in the place. All places are alike in their po- tential for entertainment, physically speak- ing that is. It would be very well possible to be just as bored at the Lido in Paris as at LaGrange College, Georgia. Bore- dom is a state of mind. If you are bored at LaGrange it is very well possible, even probable that you will be bored at the Lido, or any other place you might go to.

There always seems to be a lot of clamor for something to do, but when someone finally decides that enough clamor has been heard, and it is time to actually go out and do something, he invariably finds himself out on a limb, in the cold, and looked upon as some kind of a nut.

The history of flops at LaGrange is impressive. Let us take as an example the bridge tournament last week. This is not to say that the bridge tournament was a flop. Far from it. It was a very en- joyable affair for those who participated in it.

However it is probable that LC will never again see a bridge tournament, because the people who sponsored this one, namely the brave and somewhat foolhardy staff of this newspaper went $20 into the red on this one. I know for a fact that there are more than 20 bridge players on this campus, but it seems that they were bored that day. I wonder how many times that day those same people let out the cry "this place is so dead". I could enumerate dozens of other instances for purposes of illustration, but why talk about them? Everyone knows about them anyway.

LC student, You martir of boredom, you are boring. NF

Council Passes Rule THE LEGISLATIVE COUN-

CIL OF THE STUDENT GOV- ERNING ASSOCIATION MET LAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND PASSED A CHANGE IN THE GIRLS' SMOKING RULES ALLOWING WOMEN STU- DENTS TO SMOKE IN THE STUDENT CENTER.

A quorum was not present at the meeting, but the members attending felt that the overwhel- ming three-to-one vote of the student body in favor of women's smo'cing rule changes called for immediate response.

After generally agreeing that women students be allowed to smoke in the student center, there was a discussion of whe- ther smoking should be limited to the student center. Opposi- tion to the motion felt that with smoking allowed in the studsnt center, to prohibit smoking on the patio would beuninforcable. Others felt that since women students would eventually be allowed to smoke anywhere on campus this intermediate step should be bypassed and all smoking restrictions should be removed.

The motion passed by the Legislative Council now awaits approval by the administration before it may go into effect.

Dear Hortense, ' I made an A in this course

but none of my grades in it were over a C. My parents and I were glad that I made the grade, but somehow I feel that I did not earn it. I did sit on the front row and enjoyed listening to the teacher because he always looked straight at me.

Since I did not perform in any way to deserve an A, I wonder if I have any obliga- tions.

Minnie Skirt Dear Miss Skirt,

If you will give me the name of this teacher, I will arrange a personal conference so that you may examine the matter at hand.

Dear Hortense, A bunch of my ex-friends took

me on a snipe hunt the other night, and boy was I had. I'm afraid I just blew my cool by being such a guppie. Is there any way I can regain my lost cool?

Sucked In Dear to

This is a recurring problem at LC. In the past, the more ingenious hunters of the snipe have devised a successful re- prisals. The customary proce- dure is to laugh and play it cool and invite your hosts on a re- turn hunting expedition. You agree on a generally unpopular victim BUT hang onto the car keys.

Dear Hortense, It has come to our atten-

tion that some of the girls on third floor Hawkes are keep- ing a personality sheet of some of us. We feel that if these "Freshman girls" are not old enough or mature enough to form their own opinions about their dates without the help of other girls, we will gladly fur- nish a character analysis on likes and dislikes, and a com- plete physical certified by the class president, and at least three references from faculty members. If some of us can't get three references, would you settle for two?

When you can make up your own mind about your dates then you can compete with the girls in Turner.

UpperclassMEN

Dear MEN, I think you have a wonderful

idea! Present your plan to the girls. I'm sure they will appre- ciate the fact that you honestly want to save them all that work. They'll probably even settle for just two references, if they are good ones. If s refreshing to note that there are actually some men on campus who are willing to be honest about them- selves.

Campus Poll

Question: Would you attend a weekly discussion group and if so whom would you like for a speaker and whv?

No Name: I think it is a good idea, and I'd like to see Hortense lead the first discussion.

Dean Love: I would like to see a weekly discussion group on personal matters on such subjects as good habits, self discipline, etc.

Buddy Sullivan: Yes, I'd like to see it started and would like to hear Dr. Price talk about the resurrection.

Rosemary Neely: I want to see some of these meetings led by people from Alcoholics Anonymous or from the Feder- al Narcotics Center.

Maryanna Daniel: I'd like to hear Dr. Dodd talk about marriage and family as con- cerned with personality and the future.

Cheerleaders Look Better ; Are Enjoying Thelmselves

Did ycu notice that the cheer- leaders are looking better this year? If not, you have either not been to any home games this season or you haven't paid at- tention like you should have.

They are looking better, ac- cording to the opinions of se- veral people. The reasons for the cheerleaders' "new look" is that they are enjoying their job this year, according to Chris McLaughlin, captain. Of course, practicing two or three times a week might have something to do with that also.

According to Chris, several other factors are helping them this year. One of these, a very big factor, is the pep band under the direction of Mr. Hall. An- other is this year's student par- ticipation, which is better than last year's. But, according to Chris, there are still too few students participating. The peo- ple who do come, however, have good spirit as a group. Speak- ing for all the cheerleaders,

Chris said that they would ap- preciate it if it were kept upt

About LC students being rau- cuous in the stands, Chris said that, while they do get a lit- tle carried away occasionally as they yell out mock remarks about the referees, the opposing players and anyone else who happens to be suitable for a scapegoat, they can be excused considering the circumstances.

Chris said further, "We also appreciate fans who go to out- of-town games, because they really help the team, and us too. We couldn't very well cheer to an empty stand; therefore, even if there are a few friendly faces we do a lot better."

About the "silly balls,"Chris said, "We only get a certain number of these per game; therefore, we cannot throw an indefinite number of them,which is what some people think we should do. We appreciate the First Federal Savings and Loan

Association for giving these to us."

Chris said further, "We hope that everyone will come to the Valdosta game, because this is the one big game that no one wants to miss."About the team; "There is a lot of friction out there." Bette Blake, Co-captain echoed that statement when she said "Perhaps the team has too much individualism."

Chris is a sophomore from Teaneck, New Jersey. The other cheerleaders are; Bette Blake, a sophomore from Tam- pa, Florida; Nancy Beth Jamos, a sohpomore from Auburndale, Florida; Donna Smith, a fresh- man from Jacksonville, Flori- da; Janice Kilgore, a freshman from Chicago; Patricia Bit- taker, a junior from Ma.oon; Karen Ketchem, a freshman from Atlanta; Judy Holt, a freshman from Carrollton, Georgia; Mary Ann McLendon, alternate, from Forest Park, Georgia.

A spokesman for the "Facts" stated that his team would accept the challenge under one condition: being. Mr. Bradley and Mr. Smith would be allowed to play the front "spike" po- sitions throughout the game.

Circle K, being a generous organization, agreed to the stipulation.

It is understood that the facul- ty team has been in preparation for a meeting with some other squad, but due to the intelli- gence of the members of the team and the strength which* they have, no other group would come forth to play them.

"I guarantee you that I can place a spike which nobody will

be able to return," one mem- ber of the faculty stated.

"We issued the challenge and we wiU be ready for them," Bill England, Circle K Presi- dent, stated.

All students and non-playing faculty members are invited to witness the contest Thursday night.

Duckeff Leads Panthers To Big Upset of Berry

BY BUDDY SULLIVAN LaGrange College proved the

upset has not gone out of style in basketball, for It pulled one of classic proportions last night, downing highly - touted Berry 55-53.

The Vikings, rated third In GIAC standing, came to the LC campus apparently expecting little or no contest from the home team. How- ever the Panthers rose to the occasion and struck down the mighty Vikings in one of the most thrilling contests ever staged here.

For LaGrange, it was all Joe Phillips and Tom Duckett as the two forwards combined to score thirty-two of LC's 55 points.

Phillips hit on six of ele- ven attempts from the floor and three free throws In scoring 15 points. However, it was Duck- ett's performance which amazed the highly partisan crowd of Panther fans. The 6'3 forward connected on 8 of 12 attempts and many were

difficult hook shots from far out. Mack Godfrey of Berry also

had a fine game as he hit 8 for 11 to lead the Viking scoring with 16 points

With thirty seconds left and a screaming crowd almost drained of emotion, Smith drove through for another for 54-53.

Berry came down the floor and Doug Price drew a foul. Price missed the first of a one-if-one situation and the en- sueing scramble for the re- bound resulted in a jump ball between Smith and Godfrey with thirteen seconds left.

Smith controlled the tip and another scramble followed be- fore the Panthers picked up the ball to move upcourt.

With 0:07 on the clock, Duckett was fouled. He hit the first of the one-if-one but failed to bucket the second.

Berry controlled the rebound and raced downcourt. Hoyt put the icing on the cake with a tie- up as the horn sounded, ending a heart-stopping final three minutes.

Bricken, who finished the game with 27 points, hit two Tree throws with 0:13 on the clock to ice the Hawk's victory. Earl Holmes hit a basket at the buz- zer to close the final margin.

Huntington led the entire game and forced the Panthers to play catch-up ball the whole evening. The Hawks had two 10-point leads in the second half, but each time LaGrange rallied to deadlock the score.

The game opened with a rush with both teams serving notice that a battle was in the making. Huntington jumped out 3-0 at the start with the Panthers coming back to take their largest lead of the contest at 12-7.

Huntington, led by successive baskets by Bricken and Vic Ste- wart, moved ahead by 13-13, and, despite ten consecutive points by Joe Phillips, managed to open a 34-26 spread by halftlme.

The Hawks moved to a ten- point 38-28 advantage shortly after intermission. LaGrange then seemed to get fired up and behind Phillips, Tom Duckett, and Glend Traylor, rallied to knot the reading at 38-all with sixteen minutes left to play.

It was at this point that Bricken began his antics by dropping in several 30-footers in rapid succession to move the Hawks out front by ten again at 48-38.

However, the game's com- plexion had another change as sub John Collins hit a basket followed by counters from Nel- lie Hoyt and Traylor. Holding Huntington to a single free- throw, LaGrange fought back to tie the game on a HoIm.;.5buck- et at 49-49 with 8:50 left.

The contest went down to the wire from there with the lead changing hands several times. Huntington went into a stall near the end and drew vital free throws until the two by Bricken at the end iced the decision for the Hawks.

Bricken ended the game with 27 points hitting on twelve of 18 attempts from the floor and most of the baskets were from far out.

Phillips and Duckett had re- peat performances from the Berry game as the two forwards cashed in 21 and 14 points re- spectively. Holmes had 10 while Traylor added eight.

LaGrange as a team hit 49.1% of their field goals but five of ten free-throw attempts. Hunt- ington shot 47%.
