NEW DORM TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION

Grouna-breaking for a new coed dormitory is schedul- ed to be sometime in 'July. This picture arrived just as we

went to press. The dorm will have outdoor corridors thus making it possible for male and female students to room in it.

This is the first of a series of new large additions scheduled for the 10 year plan.

Spring Cleaning Saturday LaGrange is one of 12

Georgia cities that is slated for a massive cleanup of disadvan- taged areas.

The volunteer "clean-up" of these areas of a dozen areas is the first phase of the "Geor- gia Plan" which is an exten- sion of the nationally recogniz- ed "Savannah Plan" which was an aggressive urban action pro- gram initiated a year ago by the C&S Bank in that city.

C&S Bank President Mills B. Lane Jr., said, "The success we've had in Savannah compels us to expand this program to every city we serve. It brings hope and opportunity to the dis- advantaged people of these communities who have been by- passed in the recent growth and progress of Georgia".

The cleanup campaign in- volves community volunteers, mostly young people, with sup- port from community business's and government.

The C&S Bank is prepared to spend one million dollars a year for the next five years to underwrite the program.

Fraternities and sorori- ties on the Hill have volun- teered their services and will be competing against each other for scholarships and prizes.

With everything proceed- ing smoothly this Saturday

should be one of the cleanest LaGrange has ever seen.

The Gamma Nu Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity received it's official charterization last Saturday, May 10. The entire process began Thursday night and ended Sunday afternoon.

ton. Alumni Director, and Mr. Lou Bowen, Field Secretary.

End of an Image ONCE UPON a time non-Easterners worked

to get their boys in the so-called Ivy League schools.

These schools were old, had money, and therefore it was presumed they had good faculties and academic standings.

If junior wasn't from gentle stock at home, he might acquire a gentlemanly veneer at these schools by association.

But now? Today? Alas.

Thanks to the new egalitarianism plus tele- vision, the image is shattered. Ivy no longer equals scholarly or gentlemanly.

Today parents would do well to consider something smallish and church related on the order of Mercer, Spring Hill, Presbyte- rian and LaGrange if they want to keep their children off television and be able to recog- nize them after graduation.

Perhaps this idea is a poor one to bring up at the pre- sent time but nevertheless it's too late to change it.

Several months ago there was talk of what could help make the new student center a better looking place. It was suggested that perhaps each fraternity and sorority be allow- ed a trophy-case like cabinet in which to place their trophies, composites, etc. These articles usually end up in peoples rooms or stored in closets. Every fra- ternity and sorority has one

Program Set Before Parents

It was agreed by the pa- rents attending the recent luncheon meeting of the La- Grange College Parents Asso- ciation that the parents of all our college students would wel- come having a part in the ad- vancement of the College.

The tuition and other fees that students pay at LaGrange or any other college provides for only a portion of the funds required to operate that col- lege. At LaGrange each student pays only about one-third of what it actually costs to edu- cate one student. Who pays the other two-thirds7 Many people who make contributions ranging from ten dollars to many thou- sands of dollars. These people are alumni, parents, and other friends of the College.

Our parents are being ask- ed right now to participate in our college's MARGIN OF DIS- TINCTION Program. Colleges all over the country are getting good financial support from the parents of their students. We ought to urge our parents to give generously to this program that will result in new class- room buildings, more teaching aids and equipment, new dormi- tories, and an indoor swimming pool. By the time this program ib completed we will have al- most doubled the number of fa- culty members and there will be aoout 1000 students as compar- ed with almost 600 now.

KAPPA SIGMA WINS E.A. BAILEY

The E. A. Bailey Award, "to be awarded to the fraternity which has the greatest achieve- ment in scholarship, leadership, and sportsmanship for the year," was presented to Gamma Phi Alpha (a colony of Kappa Sigma national fraternity). It was ac- cepted by Ernest Miller, presi- dent.

thing or another which it is proud of and would like to have on display. This could not be that expensive of a project and would be something that could be shown to the visitors on campus. It is realized, of course, that not everyone on campus is a member of a frater- nity or sorority so they, of course, should not be expected to have any part in the finan- cing of it. The entire operation could easily be handled by the Greek Council.
