Stunt Night To Highlight Says W A A Pres. Johnson

By FRED BROWN

"Standing on its own rather than being associated with some other activity, Stunt Night will be one of the highlights of the winter quarter", said Women's Athletic Association president, Jane Johnson, in an interview last week. Stunt Night is an an- nual college event under the sponsorship of the WAA.

During fall quarter a committee of students composed of class presidents, class Stunt Night chairmen, Student Government Association president, and WAA president, effected a change which rescheduled the college Stunt Night from fall quarter to winter quarter.

The reason for the change, was that many of the students felt that fall quarter was already over-burdened with college actiri-

ty and that Stunt Night would be more successful if held during the winter.

WAA president Johnson . said, "Stunt Night is for the students. It was changed in order to please the majority of students and I hope that we will have a successful event."

Speaking for the WAA, John- son advised the class Stunt Night chairmen to concentrate on origi- nality and high percentage of participation on the part of all of the students in the four classes. Much of the judging will be fo- cused on these two areas.

Plans have been made to have three judges evaluate the com- peittion. Mr. Holmes of Holmes Drug Store, Dr. Muriel Williams and Mr. A. M. Hicks have been asked to judge the skits.

Each stunt is to be from 15 to 20 minutes long.

and was broadcast over a number of Georgia and Alabama radio stations.

The program featured two rarely sung choral masterpieces— one by the Danish composer, Dietrich Buxtehude; the other a more contemporary composition by the English composer Benja- min Britten.

The two beautiful but short cantatas, Buxtehude's "Rejoice, Beloved Christians" and Brit- ten's "A Ceremony of Chorals", were performed at recent con- certs in LaGrange, Opelika, Ala., and in a campus assembly.

The 38 mixed voices of the Methodist college's choral group are under the direction of Pro- fessor Paul W. Doster of the La- Grange music faculty.

Soloists for this event were Jane Yarbrough of Waycross, Kathryn Merritt of Columbus, Hulon Alsabrook of LaGrange, Janice Christian of Opelika, Ala., and Sandra Smith of Dalton.

A string ensemble, organ and piano provided accompaniment for the choral numbers. Student organist David Heck of Newnan and pianist Nancy Fordham of Dublin were the special accom- panists.

Among the stations broadcast-

ing the Choralaires' Christmas program were WTRP and WLAG in LaGrange, WSB-FM in At- lanta, WMAZ in Macon, WGFS in Covington, WBMK in West Point, WCOH in Newnan, WSAV in Savannah, and WELR in Roa- noke, Ala.

Production coordinator was John White of Radio Station WTRP in LaGrange. Mr. White is also a student at LaGrange College.

Among some of the comments made concerning the program was Hookie Young of WELR, Roanoke. Mr. Young, representing WELR, stated:

"We enjoyed doing the pro- gramand appreciate your letting us use it."

From WSB-FM ir. Atlanta, Phil Harrison had this to say:

"We have received very favor- able comments on the LaGrange College program you so gracious- ly furnished and Brent Hill, our program director, was delighted to have it for the schedule."

And to put the whole idea in a nushell was Wayne Wood who said, "The quality of this tape was outstanding."

By MICKEY JOHNSON Managing Editor

Georgia's sudden and hazard- ous "White New Year" will cause LaGrange College students to spend an extra Saturday in class, according to Dr. C. Lee Harwell, academic dean.

Because of the weather, the opening of winter quarter was delayed one day and subsequent- ly, the lost class day is to be made up. Classes will be held, therefore, on Saturday, January 18, 1964.

The winter quarter enrollment is an increase over fall quarter. Of this number, 39 are new or readmitted students.

Icy roads all over the State of Georgia and parts of North Caro- lina and Tennessee made travel- ing difficult, if not impossible. Some Florida students reported that they sighted 90 telephone poles down along a ten-mile stretch of road in South Georgia. Because of the inconvenience of the ice and snow, the administra- tion felt that many sudents would not be able to make it back in time for the scheduled date of registration.

New Year's Day, however, found many LC students already back, some not knowing about the change of date. The dining hall opened on schedule and the students spent the major part of the day sliding down snow banks and having snow ball fights.

86 Per Cent Of Sample Respond To News Poll

By CINDY BENNETT During the last three weeks of

fall quarter, members of the Hill- top News staff conducted a survey concerning the attitude of the LaGrange College student body toward desegregation. The staff worked on the survey under the guidance of Mr. Carle- ton L. S. Guptill, associate professor of social sciences.

Individuals questioned by the survey were selected at random from a complete list of registered students. Every fifth name was used. This sample provided a cross-section of students repre- sentative of the entire student body.

Of those who received questionnaires, 86% responded. Ac- cording to Mr. Guptill, this per cent response was very good for a survey of this type, the average per cent response being 60 to 70 %.

Of those students returning questionnaires, seven'.y per cent said that they believed that education should ideally be on a separate but equal basis. On the other hand, 71%- of those questioned said that they would be willing to attend classes with qualified Negro students.

Superfluous Parking Stickers According to the vice-president of the Student

Government Association, parking stickers will be issued to all car owning students sometime this week.

We have hashed and re-hashed this whole issue over and over again. There is simply no need for students at LaGrange College to be issued parking stickers. No parking problem exists on this campus. Considering the parking lot behind the gym, no student has actually been without a parking place at this college.

Parking stickers are only going to mean commit- tees, regulations, tickets, and demerits, when the sit- uation could easily and efficiently be handled by the city tow service.

We must state again, there is just no need for parking stickers.

WINTER HAS AN EVENT The new date for the college Stunt Night has been

set for February 14. In past years the event has been held during fall quarter and its quality has been cramped due to the flux of activity, such as ratting, rush, and homecoming, which are collegiate stand- ards for the fall.

Freed from the hustle of the first quarter of school, Stunt Night now has the possibility of achieving as much success as did homecoming this fall.

A number of things could be done to improve the quality of Stunt Night. The number of participants could be diminished; the time of each skit might be lengthened; the plots could take on greater complex- ity; and the costuming could be improved.

The job of preparation and organization now falls on the class Stunt Night chairmen. Wheels should already be turning toward preparation for the event.

With Stunt Night as the solo college event of the winter quarter, its quality will be expected to improve considerably.

Survey Reaction Commended The HILLTOP NEWS would like to express its

appreciation to the students of LaGrange College who cooperated with the news staff by answering questionnaires concerning their attitudes toward desegregation. The return of 86% of the questionnaires sent out is considered commendable by those inform- ed about survey method.

We feel that the topic of desegregation and the questions posed in the survey were timely, if contro- versial. The results published in the December 10 issue of the HILLTOP NEWS were not radical. We feel that they were accurate. It was the purpose of this paper to provide our readers with information which was clear and correct, not to color or sway public opinion. If, in the process of securing information, we were able to stimulate thought about the issues involved, let us now commend the thought and those behind it — liberal, conservative, and middle of the roaders.

Goldwater Offers Choice For Republicans By JOHN WHITE

The long awaited announcement by Senator Barry Goldwater has come. He will seek the Republican Presidential nomination.

The 55-year-old conservative made the posi- tive announcement because he feels that the country is ready for a conservative in the White House.

The Senator feels also that many Americans will support him because he is against foreign aid, against centralized control, against liberal- ism. The Senator has misjudged the sentiment of the American people.

Any feeling of support Goldwater had because of his so-to-speak "againstness" is gone. The liberal side of the American people has made sure that every citizen in this country feels that againstness is responsible for the death fo John Kennedy. And because of this feeling of guilt, a candidate that has the repu- tation of "againstness" has the American voter against him.

If the Senator wins the Republican nomina-

tion, he will have a tough fight to win the "puzzle palace on the Potomac." President Johnson is seeing to that.

The new president has started riding the fence. On certain days he is a "liberal conservative" and other days he is a "conservative liberal."

The economy in government campaign has captured a number of conservative votes. On the other hand, Johnson has captured the liberal votes by his stand on the civil rights question.

If it's a choice between Rockefeller and Johnson, it will be a campaign to see who can be the most liberal and who can give away the most. If it is a choice between Goldwater and Johnson, it will be a contest to see who can cut off the most

Goldwater has a long and lonely fight ahead. He must overcome the rising sentiment against him. He can provide the American people with a choice not a chance for the Republican Presi- dential nomination.

Race Issue Calls To Question Human Dignity By CINDY BENNETT

We are beseiged on all sides by philosophies and creeds which give recipes for the good life.

"Love thy neighbor," "Seek ye the kingdom," and "All men are created equal" are cliches, the ideals of which we take for granted and the realities of which seem often non-existent.

The tenets of Christianity and of democracy may be great cornerstones of civiliza-

tion. Be that as it may, I feel much of the strife of our time could be alleviated by one simple belief that should be instinctive to mankind. The belief of which I speak is human dignity and a respect for the same. Human dignity is the quality which raises men above animals and is the result of human intelligence.

From here we could go on into an abstract philosophical discussion, but assuming for the moment that human dignity is a reality, that, mankind is more than savage animal, shouldn't we then be committed to ourselves as individuals of worth?

If each of us had a strong conviction in our own value, and strove to fulfill our own desires and ambitions, to be satisfying to ourselves, and if this conviction were coupled with a respect for mankind, would there be any place in our world for social injustice? If ours were not a give and take, but rather a strive and earn world, there would be inequality. Men are not equal in endowments and capabilities. But it would be a just and natural inequality, based not on color of skin, the form of a god, or a dollar sign, but on native ability, ambition, and industry.

Throughout history, whenever there has been

a cry of protest against inequality, it has been a cry initiated by those who were not inferior but nevertheless suppressed. These are the people who suffer a needless injustice which it is up to us to remedy. If we rise to loose the bonds, we may eliminate the need for injustices of another kind, but if we fail to notice, they, being individuals of worth and respecters of human dignity, shall overcome eventually. But will human dignity by proved a false assump- tion?

THOUGHT FREEDOM HAS BUILT IN OBLIGATIONS

Student polls on public is-j sues are to be encouraged asj an incentive to serious think-I ing. It is to be recognized that one is not entitled to anS opinion just because he is| endowed with the ability to DR. HENRY

think, but when he uses his mind to read, re- flect, and come to the best conclusion of which he is capable.

The HILLTOP NEWS staff is to be congratu- lated for seeking expert assistance in the con- duct of student opinion polls. It is hoped that more polls will continue on varied subjects. By repeating polls on the same subjects, year after year, a record may be established in the change of opinions on public issues.

Freedom of expression is not without Ha built-in obligations. William James, the Har- vard professor, wrote, "One may do as he will, but he may not will as he will."

Collegiate Happiness

With thanks to cartoonist Charles Schulz, James Dulicai, columnist for THE BROWN AND WHITE, Lehigh University, Beth- lehem, Pa., writes:

Happiness is getting served. Happiness is a postponed test

you weren't prepared for. Happiness is 14 minutes of ex-

tra sleep. Happiness is a late professor. Happiness is money from home. Happiness is one girl for home

and one for school. Happiness is an inexpensive

textbook. Happiness is finishing a term

paper. Happiness is avoiding the draft. Happiness is sleeping in class

and not missing anything. Happiness is enough hot water. Happiness is growing a beard. Happiness is being ignored by

the dean of students. Happiness is a parking place.

CLASS CUTS COST

Excess Cuts May Cost Student Quality Points

Excess class and chapel cuts drop quality points and on occas- ion, students. In previous quar- ters students at LaGrange have been forced to drop from school because of the great number of quality points lost from over- cutting.

Carlton S. Guptill, chairman of the Absence Committee, has pointed out several ways to pre- vent this loss.

The absence regulations state: "All students registered for as

much as ten hours of work are expected to attend chapel each week. Exception to chapel attendance may be made quarterly by the absence committee only in case of hardship of students who- se outside work might interfere with chapel attendance."

At present no one has been allowed this exception to chapel attendance for the winter quarter. Requests for the exception must be made in writing or in person for review by the Absence Com- mittee on January 7th or 14th. Requests for exception must be made before January 14th. Ex- ceptions granted will not be re- troactive so as to excuse any chapel cuts prior to review by the committee.

* * * TOTAL ABSENCES

The Absence Committee would like to mention a few things concerning student absences:

1. All legitimate absences need to be excused. If your cut is ex- cusable, always turn in an excuse to the dean's office. If you know ahead of time that you will miss a class, let us know then.

2. The absence regulations state the total number of allowable absences. Please note that the regulations say "total number". This includes both excused and unexeused absences. Nowhere do the regulations state that an aca- demie junior, for example, has five free cuts in a class and then needs an excuse for any other cuts. The regulations state that he has a total of five absences allowed in that class, no more.

3. The absence regulations go according to academic class standing, not according to social class standing.

4. If the number of allowable cuts in a class are all unexcused, the Absence Committee is likely

to refuse to accept excuses for overcuts, no matter what the excuse, penalty wlil be assessed.

5. Excused cuts count as part of your total allowable cuts.

6. The Absence Committee meets every Tuesday afternoon at 4:00 in the Registrar's office. If you have a question about your absences, please see us.

Race Poll Recognized By State News Sources Outside LC Campus

Panthers Aim For Eagles In Southern Game Tonight

By CLARK STONE

LaGrange College takes aim at Georgia Southern's "Eagles" tonight in the local gym, and Coach Al Mariotti has declared a "no limit" to every Panther pistol.

Southern is currently enjoying one of its best seasons in some time, but the Panthers can be hell on the home floor. In the only other game played between these two schools, Southern won 74-51 in Statesboro last year.

The boy to keep your sights on is Fran Florian, who can make every shot in the book and a few that have not been put in print yet. He scored 21.6 points per game last year and is having another good year.

Garland Pinholster, Oglethorpe basketball coach, describes the

Eagles as the finest shooting team his team will see all year.

LC's own Al Mariotti ranks Southern as the best team to play on the local court this year.

Friday night Piedmont's "Li- ons'' come to town in what will be the Panther's first "breather" of '64. Piedmont has not posed much of a threat to anybody lately, and their visit to the Hill should be a nice, quiet stay.

The Panthers have an 8-6 ov- erall record with Piedmont, having won the last four games.

'A Leader Among States Or National Trash Can'

The president of LaGrange College has called Gov. Carl Sanders' recently announced education improvement program "a bold forward stride towards the new Georgia," and said "we must support the governor in his bid for a better Georgia."

Methodist institution, said after the governor announced the re- port of his Commission to Im- prove Education, "If the program is supported, Georgia will become a leader among the states. If not, out state will become the trash can for the nation's ignorant and poverty-stricken."

Pointing out that 20 per cent of Georgia's population of 4,100,- 000 are functional illiterates, Dr. Henry said, "If we want a fu- ture, we must buy it. And it will cost far more to do nothing than to do what is right.

"The returns on an investment in sound education now will make our children and their children each a better and a more prosperous generation," Dr. Hen- ry said.

In a move to boost public education at all levels, Gov., Sand- ers several months ago appointed a commission to improve education.

Dr. Henry went ahead to point out the economic aspects of education. "There is a direct corre- lation between the amount and quality of education on the one hand and salary on the other. Ig- norant men and women are the list hired and the first fired. Their wages are low. The unskill- ed and ignorant continue to swell the welfare roles."

If Georgia is really to be the Empire State of the South, the LC educator said, its people must get busy in a hurry.

LORD ROWELL

ROWELL SINKS GOAL TO TOP MERCER IN OVERTIME WIN

A field goal by Richard Rowell in the final seconds of play gave LaGrange College an 80-79 overtime victory over Mercer Univer- sity in Macon Saturday night.

After the score had favored both teams all through the game, LaGrange finally tied the game at 74-74 at the end of regula- tion play.

The Panthers had lost Lew Halter on fouls with a minute to play in the game, and lost Roy Awbrey early in the overtime period via the same route.

The National Collegiate Athle- tic Bureau reported last week that LaGrange College is one of the leaders among smaller col- leges in free throw accuracy.

The Panthers were rated eigh- th in the nation, hitting 104 of 137 for a .759 percentage. The Bureau also listed Hugh Corless as the 17th best free thrower in the small college category.

The only other GIC team recognized in the ratings was Berry College, which ranked 17th in a three-way tie for best team de- fense. The Vikings have allowed only 62.5 points per game in their

The Panthers boosted their ros- ter over the Christmas holidays with the addition of T. J. Thomp- son, a junior transfer from Tru- ett-McConnell.
