Andy Borders, a business major, will serve as business manager.

Students Star In Operas Tonight Tonight's program of opera will

include "The Telephone" and the third act of "La Boheme." The more serious "La Boheme" in contrast with the light and frivo- lous "The Telephone" should provide an evening of varied enter- tainment.

The modern comic opera, "The Telephone" by American composer Gian Carlo Menotti, will star Claire Walker and Wayne Hilliard. Clare Harris and Libby Coleman will provide the two-piano ac- companiment for the opera. The dramatic stage set has been de- signed and constructed by Lamar Lynes, as has the set for "La Boheme."

Find The True You When you were a young child, doubtless there

were certain things that struck fear into your small body—the dark, the withered old man who trampled around town, the boogey-man ...

As a sophisticated student, you will laugh as you think back on these young fears. Yet it appears that many LaGrange College students have a goodly number of fears and inhibitions.

Attendance for events of the Fine Arts Festival has been reasonably good to date. But there are many students who are actually afraid of "culture"—of anything which is personally enriching and uplifting. Many would prefer still to take the tired path to the movies rather than view a "live" drama or a recital by students on the campus. They are afraid of being called "highbrow" or "egghead".

Some people on the campus are afraid of new ideas. They will cling to tradition and "the way things are," refusing to look at new and fresh ideas concerning student government and other student work, personal philosophy, and so forth.

Even those who have ideas are sometimes afraid to express them. Therefore, their ideas are worth next to nothing. There can be no progress and easing of campus tensions if there are no straightfordward, progressive people.

Others are afraid to find new friends, to enlarge their social outlooks and their circles of acquaint- ances. Many people are missing valuable and lifelong friendships because of prejudice, fear, or indifference.

Opportunities for expression culturally, socially, and through ideas are here. The campus organiza- tions offer opportunities for working together. The Student Government council, the SCA, and the Hill-Top News offer opportunities for students to express themselves and to make their ideas known. Cultural opportunities are here for the taking.

All these chances for personal advancement are here for those who will pitch in and conquer their reservedness. The campus and its individuals will be better for it.

Thanks, SGA The 1960-'61 Student Government Council is

to be congratulated for its positive and optimistic attitude toward its job for the coming year.

The council has no wild dreams or delusions. It It knows that the job will not always be pleasant or easy. But the confidence expressed by council members in their ability to do what is necessary is a heartening sign.

During the recent Camp Glisson retreat, the group took to the task of revising the Student Hand- book with relish. They scoured the handbook, page by page, weeding out the trivial and unnecessary rules which bother the students and choke the work- ings of the SGA. The council members attempted to be as honest with the problems of the LaGrange College campus as possible.

A case in point is the much discussed, much cussed "drinking" rule. Under the old rule, the council reasoned, students could not patronize many fine eating places in Atlanta or Columbus or elsewhere because alcohol is sold on the premises. Under the revised version, the choice is placed directly on the individual. LaGrange College wants no part of drinking, but the student can now show that he is above temptation.

Another example of sensible thinking on the part of the council members is the change in the smoking rule for girls. Here again the individual is given a chance to set the limit of temperance and good sense.

The council plans to have frequent student body meetings to keep the students informed on its work- ings and new policies. Those who care to will be allowed to visit most Student Council meetings.

Perhaps there is an element lacking in the pic- ture. The SGA Council has done a good job towards making things easier for everyone. Now the remaind- er of the student body must meet the council half way, at least. The council cannot do a good job if it is scornfully regarded as a police force "out to get somebody." Without the help and trust of all the students, the council will have a difficult task. With that cooperation, they cannot fail.

"Yeh, I got a class at 2 o'clock, but go ahead and serve. It's Logic 304 and the professor's sure to

figure out that since it's Spring, both lawns 'n classes need more cutting!"

Confetti By RAY BARFIELD

This was the week the spring fever really hit the campus. No- body could get up the energy to even notice the growing bird population, the new - blooming flowers, or the new records on the Little Store juke box. The effort of picking up a pencil or a Coke bottle has proved almost too much.

While the students basked in spring fever which had settled in their bones, the teachers found difficulty in keeping the scholars busy on tests and term papers. Defeciency slips jarred a few back to reality.

By Saturday evening LaGrange College students looked like an array of first to third-degree burns. That morning had seen a mass exidous from the Hill for Ida Cason Callaway Gardens. Over-zealous -sunbathing resulted in touchy tempers and touchy shoulders later in the day. Never- theless, a degree of satisfaction prevailed in the fact that at last warm weather had arrived.

Memorable quote from Jere Mitchell: "She's like a yo-yo . - . she always keeps coming back."

Dr. Jennie Lee Epps, speaking with her customray humor' of automobiles: "Men are always making fun of women for not looking under the hood. I looked under it one time and I didn't see anything so remarkable."

Saturday was the day the trustees visited the dormitories on an inspection tour, you will recall. Well, it was a bad day for Mar- garet Collins. Margaret found get- ting out of bed very difficult on that particular morning, even though her roommate, Nancy Mitchell, warned her of the ap- proaching visit by the foremen- tioned gentlemen. The fateful hour arrived sooner than Margaret had anticipated, unforunately, because a knock at the door sent Margaret flying to the closet. Nancy toured the trustees through the room, all the while keeping a wary eye on the closet door. Mar- garet suffered in the closet, feeling like a character in an Alfred Hitchcock thriller. Just as tension became unbearable, the trustees decided to make their exit and poor Margaret nearly collapsed with relief.

Julia Massey tells of fun and frolic on the Student Government Council retreat earlier in the month: "During the course of the morning session an elderly gentle- man came into our meeting and introduced himself as Mr. Glisson. Immediately Janice Townley ask-

ed the person sitting next to her, T wonder if his first name is Camp?' During the afternoon we drove 30 miles (which seemed like 100 with Jimmy Trice's driving on the North Georgia mountain curves) to Vogel State Park. Ann Knight and Mary George Dean were the only two who were brave enough to attempt horseback rid- ing. (By the way, girls, if you want to catch a mountaineer boyfriend, just ask Ann Knight how it's done). The rest of us amused ourselves by hiking or peddling those crazy boats all over the lake."

Professor J. B. Blanks, in de- fense of the faculty, joked the other day that "Professors can have as many characteristics of rarity as students—in fact, sometimes more because they've had more practice."

Letter To Editor Dear Editor,

A cry of horror and anger was heard from all LaGrange College students when it was announced that the Christmas holidays would begin earlier this year, forcing us to return to school before we had ushered in the New Year. Next year it seems that the situa- tion will be even worse, with the students returning the day after Christmas. Think of the students that live in New Jersey, Mas- sachusetts, and Florida who will have to leave home on Christmas Eve to make the deadline for registration!

We realize that Christmas is 'many months away, but the time for us to take measures to try to alter this rule is now. If we wait until November or December, it will be to late to do anything about it; and we shall spend another unhappy New Year's Day in class.

Several reasons have been given to the students as to why there was a change in the dates of our Christmas vacation. Here are a few of the reasons and possible solutions:

Bernard Shaw's "SAINT JOAN" staged by our Curtain Raisers during the Fine Arts Festival became a rewarding experience. The reading of "Saint Joan" is a difficult task even for profes- sional actors. Each character has to take the role of an instrument in a symphony orchestra, and each actor must tune his instrument in harmony with the rest of the performers. The inflection of voice must fully respond to the movement of the action and im- press upon the listener the drama. It was a great task, and we are very glad to say that the Curtain Raisers did an excellent job.

Mary Ann Wages as Saint Joan grew into the militant saint and her insight created a deep sympathy with the audience. Joan's triumphant victory over suffering and fear of death at the end of the drama culminating in a beau- tiful outburst of Shaw's poetry was convincingly captured by Mary Ann Wages' recitation:

"Bread has no sorrow for me. and water no affliction. But to shut me from the light of the sky and the sight of the fields and flowers; ... all this is worse than the furnace in the Bible that was heated seven times. Without these things I cannot live; and by your want- ing to take them away from me, or from any human crea- ture, I know that your counsel is of the devil, and that mine is of God." Why is Shaw's play "Saint

Joan" a great play? Not because it recounts with more or less accuracy facts of history, any second-rate historian could have done a better job, but because it reveals the spirit and strength of the individual in the light of faith undimmed by the laws and rules of darkness embodied in many human institutions.

"O world, be nobler, for her sake! If she but knew thee what thou art, what wrongs are borne, what deeds are done in thee ..." wrote Lawrence Binyon, "know'st thou not that

I her tender heart for pain and very shame would break." I believe that the subject ex-

presses Shaw's genius, and that 'he militant saint was a character quite congenial to his own nature, of course, spoiled a little by human aspiration. The play became an immediate success with both the Protestant and the Roman Catholic Church. I understand that B. S. was once asked whether he was turning Catholic. I did not know for long time Shawjs answer to this question. I learned it later. "There's no room for two Popes in the Roman Catholic Church," said G. B. S.

The drama of the play was ex- cellently presented and it would take too long to evaluate the individual characters and to enum- erate their contribution to the success of the evening. The scene in the church-castle in Rouen

Lynes Views Art Exhibit

by Lamar Lynes Those who still demand at least

a suggestion of recognizable subject-matter in the paintings which they view should not be disap- pointed in the comprehensive col- lection of paintings and drawings now on display in the Art Depart- ment's Gallery. The exhibition, which opened Sunday as the third feature in the current Fine Arts Festival, is composed of the work of Ezra Sellers and Jarrell Heth- cox, professors of visual arts in the Fine Arts Department.

Seldom hung side by side in exhibition, paintings and drawings simply do not lend themselves to simultaneous display. Evidence of this can be seen in the fact that during the recent Modligliani exhibition at the Atlanta Art Associ- ation Galleries, half the gallery was devoted to the artist's paintings and half to his drawings, and the division was made even more definite by the use of partitions between the two sections of the exhibit. It would seem even more prohibitive to display the paintings of one man with the drawings of another. However, the result in the case of the present show is quite pleasing.

The most simple explanation of the success of this exhibition can be found in the fact that the paintings contain a great deal of drawing and drawings are about as close to painting as drawings can be. From the fundamental obser- vance, one might go on to say that there are certain stylistic similarities in the work of these two artists. Mr. Sellers' paintings, except for one or two exceptions, show a certain stylistic trend— for which I can think his unique use of "slivers" of color — small. often radiating, stripes of pure color overlaid and built up with obvious precision not only to create a ground for the forms in his pictures, but often to define the forms themselves — can be said to have a definite relationship to the late nineteenth century Im- pressionistic movement. And al- though the pointillists' theories have not been used per se by Mr. Sellers, one can certainly recog- nize a definite kinship between the two in feeling, if in nothing else. If a name must be given to Mr. Sellers' technique, one might call it "extended pointallism": he has taken the pointallists' color "dots" and extended them into color stripes, and in so doing has developed the same shimmering quality which Seurat and his fol- lowers found so pleasing. Especi- ally noteworthy in the group of paintings are "Morning Sun" and "The Forest" in which Mr. Sellers has adapted his subject matter to his way of working in their most advantageous combination.

Among the intensely colorful Sellers paintings, it would seem that the very delicate Hethcox ink drawings would take a definite back seat, but this is hardly the case. The very subdued color in the drawings — when there is any color at all — in enhanced by the color in the paintings, and the drawing itself is made to seem even more delicate by the juxta- position of the two. The stylistic peculiarity in the drawings — especially the later ones — which makes a stylistic com- parison with._the paintings valid is the artist's use of a sort of super - Crosshatch groundwork out of which the forms emerge. This device gives a very pleasing softness to the drawings, while at the same time giving the a "look"

Chit Chat Educators, statisticians, and

Miss Rheingold tell us that to- day's classrooms are overcrowd- ed, qualified teachers are difficult to find, and colleges are faced with minimum equipment to do a task of maximum difficulty.

A new crisis has loomed over the horizon, however. Even though more students will be going from high school to college than ever before, they find the prospect of college less and less attractive. They visit campus after campus, but they have no real idea as to how to choose the right school.

This writer, after extensive re- search in reading beer cans and match boxes, has a plan to offer. The school, LaGrange College in this instance, must develop an attractive approach to what it has to offer through advertising.

For the problem of attracting students, a straightforward approach is suggested. This might serve as a starter:

LAGRANGE COLLEGE The Perfect College Home for You

Exquisite Cuisine Scenic Beauty of Spacious

Paved Parking Lots Togetherness

A Wonderful Place to Recover from the

Drudgery of High School When the freshman arrives,

spouting cliches about making a mountain out of a mole hill and all that, he must be thoroughly indoctrinated. He will find new adventures in the college world awaiting him, as advertised by this sign:

Take English Literature in your choice of three different

grading systems Dr. Dr. Mrs.

Epps Cubine Ferrell not unlike the striping in Mr. Sel- lers' painting. And, paradoxically, one feels that the drawings are very crisp and cleanly executed because of the almost exclusive use of line. Outstanding in this group of the drawings is the "Sol- diers and Horses," in which Mr. Hethcox has obviously combined with a high level of success style and subject - matter to the point that one becomes conscious of neither, but rather of the drawing as a unified whole. One of the best drawings in the show, "Vati- can Pastiche," combines ink, pencil, and drypoint, and there is one pastel chalk drawing.

In the exhibition as a whole one can easily see both artists' highly developed skill emerging in beau- tifully conceived paintings and drawings, and at the same time see that the human element has not been ignored. If the viewer responds to these works it is only because the artist has captured in them his own sympathy and sen- sitivity.

gave Lloyd Bryant in the role of John deStogumber an unique op- portunity to create a drama of a soul struggling its way through human disorientation into the realm of understanding and peni- tence. Through the burning fires deStogumber's hunger for the truth becomes unappeasable, and like the lightning from the heavens he realizes that man is marked for life and that within himself the Satan's image has been destroyed by the resurection of a saint.

Charles Jones as Robert and Cauchon and Larry Thomas as the soldier did not fail to meet the expectations of those who know Shaw's undivided passion for the tragedy and comedy as well. Their characterizations were (again) excellent, and you could feel the clown taking the edges from the tragic heights and re- sisting the climax in order to save men from the exhaustive reality of life.

LaGrange College netters moved into the winners column last week by handing Berry College a 5-2 defeat.

In singles competition Wayne Copeland handed his opponent a 6-0, 6-0 defeat and Roy Johnson came out in front of his rival 6-0, 6-2. Larry Boswell and Buddy Grimes, number 3 and 4 men respectively for this event; fought their matches right down to the wire before succumbing in heart- breaking decisions.

Andy Owen came through with a 6-3, 6-2, defeat and Tim White poured on the steam and sat his man down for a 4-2 standing for singles.

Johnson-Copeland, Owen-White, and Boswell-Grimes made up the 3 sets of doubles. Johnson and Copeland won their match with very little difficulty, but the other two were called on the count of darkness.

This gives the L. C. team a 1-2 record for the current season, having lost to Shorter and North Georgia in previous matches. The second match with Shorter was raided out and will be played at the end of the season if it has any effect on the final standings.

What do you think of the changes made by the S. G. A.? What changes or recommendations would you have made?

Marion Freeman: I love that rule about being with a boy for an hour instead of thirty minutes without signing a date card. None, unless I gave sophomores more nights out.

Donnie Murphy: I think the S. G. A. did a fine job. I can't think of anything I would have changed.

Susan Williams: I am in favor of the changes made, and hope that we will cooperate with their decisions in the coming year.

Orion Hunt: I am in favor of the changes the S. G. A. made. Off hand I can't think of any I would have made.

Claire Walker: Personally I don't think the changes were very drastic. I would rather see a few strict rules carried out than so many small ones that underesti- mate our maturity.

SGA Council Maps Rules, Orientation

by Julia Massey The newly elected Student Gov-

ernment representatives spent the weekend of April 8th at Camp Glisson. After arriving at the camp on Friday evening and having supper, they discussed recommendations to the administration and suggestions for the hnnjhook The representatives divided into three committees — men's rules, women's rules, and general rules — to work on respective sections of the handbook.

On Saturday morning they "very reluctantly" crawled from under electric blankets to have break- fast in the "fresh air camp" dining hall. Next they met in a body where each committed presented its recommendations for rule changes. Council members took a recreation period in the afternoon. Late in the afternoon they re- turned to Camp Glisson and, after supper, discussed the pro's and con's of an honor system on the Hill.

Sunday morning they mapped out the orientation program for next year's freshmen. Jimmy Trice and Mary George Dean led a worship service, centering the thoughts of the group on their re-

as sponsibilities and situations Student Council members.

After lunch, the council members started on the return trip to LaGrange, tired and weary,' but "feeling that we had accomplish- ed a great deal and had fun at the same time."

Christadefphians Choose Ann Brake New officers for the Christia-

delphians have recently been elected. They are Ann Brake, president; Sally Curtis, vice president- Margaret Layton, secretary; Le- ona Maddox, treasurer; and Vir- ginia Ivey, publicity chairman.

Among the more noteworthy changes in the Student Handbook ire th~se concerning girl's smoking rules, rules concerning cam- puses and restrictions, and drinking.

The girls may smoke in dorm rooms only, but the hours during which they may smoke in their own rooms have been changed. Since the council feels that many people smoke while studying and since they are subject to a call- down if the noise gets too loud (the reason for the time limit in the first place), the girls may now smoke at any time in any dorm room.
