Sophomores and seniors to take examinations

Examinations will be given to sophomores and seniors on No- vember 16 and 17. On Friday afternoon, the 16th, the advanced tests, which measure "the mastery in selected fields of study," will be given to 38 seniors in their major fields.

Twenty-nine sophomores will be tested Saturday with seniors who plan to take the aptitude tests.

Previously area tests were given to sophomores and to seniors but, by vote of the faculty, these are to be discontinued. Aptitude tests are being offered now because they are used by most graduate schools. The aptitude tests measure one's general scholastic ability which is recorded through two scores — one for verbal abilities and one for quantitative abilities.

The sophomores will take the general culture tests that are issu- ed under the Educational Testing Service. These are the same series that were given to the freshmen in th fall of 1961. They include history and social science, litera- ture, fine arts, natural science, and mathematics. These are given to note the progress these students have made while at La- Grange College.

The administration is awaiting a report from the faculty com- mittee on student testing. This report will determine whether the present sophomore students will be retested as seniors to record the total progress they will have made in college.

All students who should take tests have been notified by the dean's office. Those sophomores and seniors who are not scheduled to take these tests on Nov. 16-17 will be included in the spring testing session which will be Ap- ril 12-13.

Later announcements will be made concerning the National Teachers Examinations which are scheduled for Saturday, February 16, 1963.

Moore promoted; Price joins staff

The Business Office has seen some changes in the last few days. On October 15 provisions were made for an Assistant Bus- iness Manager and a new secre- eary for the Business Office.

Mrs. Evelyn Moore has been made the Assistant Business Ma- nager to assist Mr. Austin P. Cook with the additional duties that come under the direction of the Business Office. Mrs. Moore came to LaGrange College in May 1959.

Mrs. LaJuana Price, from Moultrie and Atlanta, has been employed as ^he new secretary for the Business Office, filling the vacancy left by Mrs. Moore's appointment. Before coming to the college, Mrs. Price was employed at the First National Bank in Tampa, Fla., the Citizens and Southern Bank in Atlanta, and the Registrar's Office at Georgia Tech. Her husband, a graduate of Georgia Tech, is an engineer with the highway department here in LaGrange. Mr. and Mrs. Price reside at 306 Smith Street.

Circle K taps five for membership

In chapel on October 17 Circle K International tapped five new members into its college service organization.

New members include Dan Mettee, Lanier Shelnutt, Charlie Clark, Ray Bolton, and Jim Mc- Clendon.

Betty Jones was announced the new sweetheart of Circle K and presented a bouquet of red roses.

Circle K is sponsored by Ki- wanis International. Millard Mar- tin is president of the local club. The purpose of Circle K is to serve the campus in any way it can.

Biology students take Carolina field trip

Mr. Sharp's botany class will leave the campus Saturday mor- ning, October 27, for the Smoky Mountains for a closer study of nature.

The party, consisting of eight students, Mrs. Bill Holstun, Mr. Sharp, and Mr. P. M. Hicks, will make their first stop at the Co- weeta Hydrologic Laboratory in Dillard, Georgia. While there they will see experiments in watershed management.

From Dillard the group will progress on to Cherokee, N. C, where they will camp out Satur- day night.

Eager for an early start the party will be up at dawn Sunday pushing further into the Smokies. But time will be a factor, and they will not go too far before turning homeward.

On the return trip they will visit Copper Hill and Bucktown, Tenn. At the turn of the century Wiese two communities' vegeta- tion was completely destroyed because of the copper industry. Special attention will be given to the conservation now in effect.

Many former LC students are expected to return to the campus November 18th for what is being called "one of the biggest Homecomings."

The Homecoming officially begins on Saturday the 18th at 10 a. m., when the alumni will be- gin registering. At this time they will receive the schedule of events for the day.

Plans for the day include a coffee hour, a guided tour of the campus, and the alumni association meeting. Mrs. T. Scott Ava- ry, president of the alumni association will preside, and Mr. Austin P. Cook will be the guest speaker.

There will be an alumni lun- cheon at 12:45 P. M. in the dining hall. At 6:30 P. M. there will be an alumni banquet and Mr. Mi- chael J. Brown will be the master of ceremonies. The speaker will be Mr. Henry L. Bowden, chairman of the Board of Trustees.

Events which will be of partic- ular interest to the students are stunt night, the alumni-varsity basketball game, and the homecoming dance.

Stunt Night is on Friday, No- vember 16, at which time the classes will compete for a trophy

LaGrange High School Auditor- ium.

The performance is one of six scheduled during the current series by LaGrange Concert Asso- ciation, a joint group of LaGrange Concert Council and LaGrange College.

The Quintet features John Perras, flute; William Brown, French horn; David Perkett, oboe; Jane Taylor, basoon; and Arthur Bloom, clarinet.

All members of the musical group have excellent academic backgrounds and outstanding experience as solo and group per- formers.

The concert will feature a program taken from a repertoire written especially for such an ensemble. The varied program will include compositions by Haydn, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Reicha, as well as Villa -Lobos, Hindemith, Barber Gerhard and contempor- aries.

This event, as well as the other five sponsored by the Association, is available to LaGrange College students. The Student Activities card entitles students to admis- sion to any of the Concert performances.

WHAT'S IN A NAME? by Elaine Hopper

Just the other day another L. C. student and I were busy filling out an information sheet on our college activities, when she turned and said, "Gee, I don't know how to spell 'Christadelphians' ". Webster being a surer source than I, my friend looked the word up and announced to me, "Well, I'm a Christadelphian by membership all right, but evidently NOT by definition. Mr. Webster defines the word as 'one who does not adhere to belief in the Holy Trinity', and I sure believe in that!"

Strangest thing, but I've noticed lots of folks now days clothe themselves in big misnomens. Some of this is accidental, but be it accidental or purposeful, we need to exam- ine our thinking a while.

For instance, do you make the title of student a misnomen when used in reference to yourself? A student im- plies more than the word pupil (for one thing, the word pupil is not as definite as the word student; pupil could well imply the part of the eye). A student is one who does a thing — he is one who studies. Miss Sanders, my eighth grade math teacher, refused to allow us to clothe ourselves with the sweet sounding misnomen of "student" if we dealt with mathematics so unscholarly as to deserve onlv the title "pupil".

Of more importance, however, are these — and we should question this listing and ask of ourselves, "Is it a gross misnomen for me to call myself: and a mature, reasonable person?

a sincere individual? an honest believer in the One God, Maker of heaven

and earth, and Father of ALL mankind (genius and moron alike; the witty, lovable and the dull, exasperating, too)?

Strangest thing, but worth thinking about. Please do.

A letter to the editor In reply to last week's editorial

entitled "No Gain In Destruc- tion," I wonder if some of its searching questions concerning the students are not also relevant to the administration and faculty. For instance: "Do such student conditions exist in this Christian atmosphere that supposedly sur- rounds our campus?" I agree that this school is full of students who will "pat you on the back with one hand and stab you in the back with the other." But who can deny that there are members of the administration and faculty who have been known to stab other members in the back? Where does a student go to find that "Christian atmosphere"? Can he find it in the administrative offices, where he sees capable faculty members being pressured into leaving LaGranga College in

order to find a school where they will be treated as human beings rather than as monkeys?

The editorial also asks, "Is there a reason why students willfully tear each other down? Wheru is the gain in destroying a classmate?" I wonder what our esteemed administration has for an answer to these questions. Are they really showing the students a good example? What would they say if we were to ask them: Is there a reason why you willfully tear down members of the faculty — or is it just because some of them stand in your way to power? To whom are we to look for leadership, if those in the highest authority are guilty of "destroying a classmate?" "Is there any good that comes from such low behavior or from the degenerate minds from which it stems?"

GOTTA MINUTE?

Down With Compulsory Chapel Let's do away with required chapel — after all, it's become a

nuisance. Just in case the reader needs some reasons, it might be pro- fitable to enumerate some of the disadvantages in order to prove the case.

The major setback to attendance in chapel is quite obviously the problem of sleep. As of this writing, the longest that this writer has been able to observe anyone sleeping soundly has been about twenty- five minutes. Even this was not all at one nodding of the head. After all, how can one be expected to sleep with so much confusion?

Another weakness of required chapel is that by the time the speaker begins, not enough time is left to finish even ONE game of connect the dots. One night during Religious Emphasis Week, two young men in the balcony began a game as soon as the evening service started, played right through to the benediction, and still didn't get to finish!

It is extremely difficult to carry on any sort of decent conversation during chapel. Either the parties involved must whisper so low that they cannot hear each other, or talk loud enough to bring glances from teachers or that vast minority of students who are trying to listen to the speaker. Such glances are most disheartening.

Probably the worst disadvantage is that of trying to study. Did you ever try to concentrate on French while some man on the stage is talking about religion and life and how the former should influence the latter? That kind of talk can almost make a fella feel guilty for trying to study, and who can study when they don't have their minds on the subject?

Of course, there are some aspects of life that even compulsory chapel cannot take away from the free, intelligent college student. For example, the following conversation was overheard in Turner Hall a couple of weeks ago:

"That's okay, my girl is better than most of them up in that dorm. She doesn't smoke, drink, or cuss!"

"Then what in the is she good for?"

Now, this seems to be a logical question — that is, it is logical when we realize that, apparently, enough of the students on this campus have such a distorted set of values as to make this type of question almost common. To anyone who will stop long enough to think, this warrants an overall re-evaluation of ourselves.

Why in the world are we in college anyway? Isn't it time we de- cided it involves more than spending our parents' hard-earned money faster than they can send it to us?

This is purely a personal opinion, but this writer is absolutely disgusted (sick might be a better word) of the observable compla-' cency and utter disregard of purpose present on this campus. Until we as students realize that life is not going to be handed to us on a silver platter, the better off we will be.

Thus, tha main disadvantage of chapel (to many, at least) is the fact that we are confronted with a very plain CHALLENGE TO FACE REALITY!

Therefore, the cry becomes not "Down with compulsory chapel!" but "Down with the destructive lack of concern expressed in the categorical bad manners that we as students show, not only in chapel, but in most instances in which we are presented with a challenge — and a chance — to better our world by bettering ourselves."

The Garbage Can The addition of several new

books to the library is an event that all students should take note of. These books, provided by the National Society for the Ad- vancement of Ignorance in High- er Education, will be a valuable asset to those students who wish to continue their studies in graduate school.

The most outstanding of these books is Collecting Garbage for Fun and Profit. This work is the product of long years of research by one of America's most outstanding authors, Harry "Egg- shell" Swarbustle. Mr. Swarbustle is an outstanding authority on this subject as he has served as assistant director of the Notional Foun- dation of Garbage Collectors, chief garbage coordinator for the University of Angola, and research assistant in the laboratories of Disposall, Inc. He is presently employed by the Southern Divis- ion of the International Research Group on the Promotion of Filth in America.

This work deals with garbage problems in the home, industrial garbage disposal, and a special section is included on collecting garbage as a hobby. This book is on special reserve in the library basement.

The second book is Apple Pol- ishing; A Report. This book, written by America's foremost authority on brown-nosing, is a valuable guide to any student that wishes to graduate from college. The author, George "A-plus" Kagnoisky, is a professional student at Hogansville A & M Chap- ters in the book include: "The History of the Brown Nose," "Teachers, and How to Get Around Them," "How to Take a Test When You Know Nothing about It," and a special section on "After-class Technique." This is possibly one of the most valuable books that has ever come to the library. It is endorsed by the Southern Association of Inde- pendent Brown-nosers and the N. A. A. C. B., the National Asso- ciation for the Advancement of College Brown-nosers. Mr. Kag- noisky is presently an assistant to President Kennedy, who is col- laborating with him on a book to be released next fall called "How to Get Ahead When You Don't Know Nothing."

Greeks continue rush Alpha Kappa Theta sorority

and her brother fraternity, Pi Delta Kappa, held a party for all new students at Westside Junior High School gymnasium on Sat- urday, October 20.

The informal dance-party was highlighted by the music of Charles Parham's "Rockers", from Atlanta.

The party was an opportunity for the new students to become better acquainted with each other and with the members of Alpha Kappa Theta and Pi Delta Kappa.

FROM ALPHA TO OMEGA

By Prof. Kovar, Chairman Pan-Hellenic Council

Fraternities and sororities have a long and constructive history in the life of our American colleges. The beginning of every college year is marked with an amazing variety of academic and social happenings. As we turn the globe of our college life, passing from the classrooms into the stream of the social life, we should pause to think about this great enigma of any college in the United States, and ask ourselves the question: "Is there a greater need than that of communicating friendship and understanding among men?"

As a member of a fraternity or a sorority, you, the students of LaGrange College, have a unique and noble mission. IT IS THE PURPOSE OF YOUR FRATER- NITY AND YOUR SORORITY to cultivate the ideal of unity, and to find in the ambiguity of the ethical and physical beauty the

Cbke makes

essence of your inter-fraternal co-existence. It is this co-existence, I believe, which will mani- fest in our college life the true freedom, create a condition of adult sovereignty, and bring ethical and material satisfaction to all of us who care enough to see this freedom realized.

It seems that after the first weeks of RUSH, the life on our campus is relatively quiet. Soon, however, the fraternities and the sororities will open their sanc- tuaries to new members, and the air of our campus will be filled with this great issue. That, what looks to many like a struggle for survival, a crisis out of which the one shall emerge as the winner and the other defeated and destroyed, could, if properly evalu- ated, become a revealing experience and strengthen our human relations without ever mentioning the word victory or defeat. This whole experience, even on a com- petitive basis, could become an ensemble of projects by which all fraternities and all sororities would try to create values for the sake of harmony rather than for the sake of individual group pres- tige or material advantage. The degree and the quality of our re- lationship to the rest of the world with which we deal, as individu- als or as an organized group, must become the criterion of our social usefulness. We cannot be stronger than is our will and de- termination to support as indi- viduals the idea of unity and understanding. Excess of selfish contentment in its own perfection and power of some leading groups was the downfall of Athens. It could become the downfall of any other social or political group as well.

There are two sides to every- thing: Love is opposed by hate, the common enemy of harmony is disorder, and growth, material and spiritual, is in a steady conflict with destruction. The result of any of these conflicts may be man's defeat. To the athlete a physical obstacle may present no challenge, to others it may reveal itself as an unsurmountable dif- ficulty. The freedom, as a matter of right, walks among us, it be- longs to every one who is willing to live with it, and it should ne- ver be the domain of those who

are able to grasp it. No group is better qualified than our fraternities and our sororities to offer a hand in this important under- taking, and communicate friendship and understanding among our student family.

The rush for new members will soon become the dominating stig- ma of our campus life. As a result of your individual approach to this issue, whatever else you may have accomplished as a fraternity or as a sorority, after you close the doors behind the new members for whom, I hope, you have gallantly fought, if you did not, during these days, discover the true meaning of the word FRA- TERNITY and all for which the word FRATERNITY stands, you did not make a contribution to the academic, social and ethical betterment of our life at La- Grange College. You might have strengthened the ties of a small group of people, who isolated from the rest have no strength and whose voice will always die within a close circuit.

"What is that Athens of whom all men speak?", asked the proud queen of the Persians. Nothing more and nothing less than the men for whom Athens stands.

People To Meet LAURA JOHNSTON

One of the "people to meet" on campus this year is Professor Mi- chael Brown, who comes to us from Liverpool, England. Mr. Brown is a member of the his .ory department and has a special interest in seventeenth century Eng- lish history. He is presently writing his dissertation on that subject and hopes to receive his doc- torate from Emory University by the beginning of the next school year.

Professor Brown has a special interest in LaGrange College because he himself came here as a student and received his A. B. degree. Prior to coming here this time, he taught at Agnes Scott College, Emory University, and Davidson College. Georgia seem- ingly agrees with him, because he has remained here since coming to America and even married a "Georgia Peach."

One of the subjects Mr. Brown spoke of during the interview was the need for more emphasis on composite education, or the relat- ing of fields of study to each oth- c:'. He went on to say, however, that there was a danger in having '.oo. much correlation because then the student would receive only generalities and would know no

one subject thoroughly. LaGrange bids welcome to Mr.

Brown and hopes that each student will get to know him well.

Intramural Sports Chorus plans

PI DELT 0, SIGMA NU 0

On October 16 Sigma Nu and Pi Delt met for the first time this season in intramural competition. The game ended in a deadlock with neither team scoring. It was a defensive battle from beginning to end. Both teams had good driv- es started, but an intercepted pass

/ stopped any threat of scoring. Outstanding players in the ball game were Chuck Stevens, Randy Edgar, Ted Alford, and Jerry Moore.

GAMMA PHI 6, SIGMA NU 0

Gamma Phi took the ball on the opening kickoff and went on to score in a very few minutes. The touchdown came on a pass from John Gipson to Sam Gipson. The PAT was no good. Five key in- terceptions by Gamma Phi from scoring. Outstanding players in the ball game were Gary Dun- woody, Collier Westmoreland, Larry Hornsby, and Owen Greene.

With this victory Gamma Phi moved into first place, Sigma Nu in second, and Pi Delt in third place. The season has just started and anything can happen between now and then.

partment will, as in years past, cover transportation, meals and other expenses within the specified radius. Any traveling outside this radius will have to be paid for by the Choralaires group itself, says Mr. Paul Doster, Choral- aires director.

The chief problem that has re- cently been brought to the sur- face of discussion is the provision set, up by the music department, headed by Dr. John D. Anderson, that the Choralaires can no long- er individually sponsor any con- certs or similar events in order to raise additional funds for their tour. The reasons given for this new provision are that the Chor- alaires is a non-profit-making organization and cannot sponsor these events individually and that the music department must ac- cept the financial responsibility of the group if the large concert tour they were tentatively planning, were to fail.

Dr. Henry stated that this was done to protect the school if the group failed to clear expenses on such a venture. He went on to say that the chorus was placed on this basis "because somebody must be responsible" since the individual members would not be able to take care of the situation if no profit was cleared. "What if you don't make a dime?", he asked.

When asked about having de- partmental or college backing for a much less involved program, Dr. Henry replied, "If this thing can be held within the reasonable bounds of responsibility, we might be able to work it out."

Alternatives have been presented to the group for consider- ation concerning their tour this quarter. These are: 1) a tour lim- ited to the radius that will be financially covered by the funds allotted by the school through the music department; 2) a tour to the originally planned destination with the additional funds provided individually by the members of the group; 3) no tour at all this year.

Members of the singing group have asked for a conference with Dean Harwell, President Henry, and Dr. Anderson to discuss the possibilities of the department re- considering their ultimatum and allowing some means of raising money to be permitted.

"Y" meets

Gatlinburg, Tenn., was the scene of the YMCA planning conference for 1962-63. This was business meeting at which the members came to give of them- inspiration or recreation in return.

Inspiration was brought to us by Dr. Nick Patinoo, key- note speaker. He is YMCA secretary for the city of Quito, capital city of Ecuador in South America. There, he explained, the standard of living is very low. In the ab- sence of an effective program by the church or a worthy effort by American diplomats, the city turns to the YMCA. The incidents he related and the examples he cited were evidences that they did not turn in vain. Further inspiration was of a religious nature. A clos- ing worship service was brought by the University of Kentucky delegation.

Recreation was not organized, but good' fellowship prevailed throughout long business ses- sions. The LaGrange delegation met several of the delegation from Tuskegee Institute who visited on the LC campus last spring. One of their delegation, O'Neill Smalls, who was our guest last year, was elected region secretary-treasurer. This region is made up of ten southern states.

Results of the business session included the setting of the national conference at the University of Illinois, the next regional conference at Miami, and plans for a work camp in the Bahamas. The "Y" also adopted a plan to activ- ate the "Ole Miss" SCA, thinking that this would help better race relations.

The general mood of the conference expressed the conviction that the country's foremost problem is the race relations problem.

A proposal to aid in the better understanding of the issue and to aid the Negro student force in gaining a significant voice was
