Shown is the architect's drawing of the new science teaching and research facility which will be
constructed beside the chapel.
Construcfion to Begin on Science Center
LaG range College trustees,
administrators, professors,
alumni, and students shoveled
dirt from the cite of the college's
new $1 million science center
during recent groundbreaking
ceremonies.
Dr. Waights G. Henry told the
campus gathering that it is
appropriate that the instruction
and research facility be built
next to the college chapel and in
line with the library.
He explained that science is
the handmaiden of religion, and
the science building which will
stand next to the chapel
''Symbolizes our
acknowledgement that this is
God's universe."
The LC president added that
both science and religion must
be supported and substantiated
by what we learn from all other
areas of knowledge — the
humanities, the social sciences
and the fine arts, which are
symbolized by the neighboring
library.
Construction of LaGrange
College's new science and math
building will begin shortly. The
contract has been awarded to
Conner Brothers Construction
Company of Aubum, Ala.,
which submitted the low base
bid of $805,800. Equipment and
various fees will bring the total
cost of the teaching and research
facility to almost $1 million.
A three-story contemporary
building with a suggestion of
traditional styling, the science
center will be constructed on the
southeast corner of the campus
over what is the main drive from
Vernon Street.
The new facility will alleviate

Student Dialog
Welcomed by Congress
The following is an excerpt
from a speech made in the U.S.
Senate by Georgia's Senator
Herman Talmadge.
"Mr. President, recently the
Nation's capital was visited by
.tens of thousands of students
to express their feelings about
the war in Vietnam and the
expansion of the conflict to
Cambodia.
They visited their Senators
and Congressman. Many
Georgia students came by my
office. I saw some of them, and
my staff others.
I believe these young people
made a tremendous impression
on Capitol Hill. A dialog was
established. Viewpoints were
exchanged. We could not
always agree with them, nor
they with us. But, most
important, there was the give
and take of discussion and in
reasonable terms, and in voices
calm enough to be heard and
understood. If the ones who
came by my office are an
example, they did both thencause and their fellow students
throughout the Nation a great
service. They did us in
Congress a service.
From all the information
that I am able to gather, here
was a expression of genuine
concern:
Concern about a war in
Southeast Asia that has
dragged on and on for more
than 6 years.
Concern about enlarging the
scope of the war in Cambodia.
Concern about the fact that
they really have been given
nothing concrete to indicate
that there is an end in sight.
I am not talking about the
college radicals, militants, or
revolutionists who speak with a
voice of violence. I am thinking
of the millions of American
college students and other
young people all across the
land. They stand as an
overwhelming majority of the
American youth. They were
interested in speaking and
being heard, and they disdain
throwing bombs and setting
fires as much as all of us.
Consider how it is that their
concern is so intense. Here are
19 and 20 year old people,
who were only 13 or 14 when
the United States first started
fighting in Vietnam. They have
attentively followed progress,
or the lack of progress, of the
war over the years. They have
seen 50,000 Americans lose
their lives, and some 275,000
wounded. They have been
inundated by promises and
pledges, but yet the war goes
on.
Now, they are of the age
that their Government may
well ask them to go halfway
around the world and lay down
their own lives in a war that
they believe should have been
brought to a conclusion a long
time ago.
For years, these young
people have watched American
soldiers sent to fight and die
with virtually one hand tied
behind them. On the basis of
past performance, I can
understand their outrage about
the prospect of enlarging the
boundaries of the war.
They question the
President's decision to put
American troops on a foreign
battlefield in an undeclared
war in the abscence of
congressional consultation and
involvement. They ask how it
began, and when will it end?
This Senate has questioned
such action as well. I can share
and understand this concern of
the Nation's young people, and
I believe an overwhelming
majority of our citizens do too.
In sum, I want to
congratulate these young
people who took the time to
make their feelings known on
Capitol Hill, This is where
decisions have to be made, and
not in the streets.
We are willing to listen to
young people, and we share
their hope for an end to the
fighting and killing in
Southeast Asia. I hope that
they will continue their
mission of making their voices
heard and their feelings known
in peaceful ways. I would be
less than candid if I did not say
that I also hope they will not

A Christian Witne

BY GENE COLLUM
Late last year I drove to
Sylvester, Georgia to hear a
Methodist preacher. At the end
of the service, I asked him if it
would be possible for him to
come to LaGrange for an
evangelistic crusade. From this
simple beginning, came the
Ford Philpot crusade for Great
Troup County in the last two
weeks.
For me, it has been like a
dream come true. Many others
have worked in the crusade;
many have really done far
more than my own efforts. Yet
each night, I have been able to
sit and watch the throngs of
people come and hear God's
Word preached in an exciting
and challenging way and know
that
it all began with a
handshake across the altar of
the First Methodist Church in
Sylvester, Ga. It's been a good
feeling.
I know that many students
have heard much about the
man and the crusade. Some of
you heard him speak here in
the chapel. Some liked what he
had to say; some did not.
However, no one can say that
he was not a man of courage.
He spoke his mind, he told it
like it was as far as he was
concerned. He did not say
what he thought you wanted
to hear; he was honest with
you. That's the kind of speaker
we need to hear more often.
It doesn't matter whether
you or I agree with him if he
has the guts to level with us
about his own convictions. We
can learn from him. Deliver me
from old men who think the
way to communicate with
youth is to try to "speak their
language." That's a cop out.
It's a frank admission that he
has no faith in his own thing.
It's a bore. Fred Philpot tells it
like it is in his own language.
We need more men like that.
I am amazed and shocked
and disappointed that some of
my own profesron would take
passing swiped at him In the
first place, it's poor ministerial
ethics. In the second place, it's
probably often a case of "sour
grapes." He gets more converts
than they do. And make no
mistake about it... conversion
is still the name of the game.
The main point of the church
is still to cause men and
women to repent of their sins
and be converted to a faith in
Jesus Christ. The "good
works" of the church must
proceed from that point if they
are to be good works at all.
The reason for the scarcity
of good works proceeding from
the church is directly related to
the lack of genuine conversion
experiences within the church.
We have tried to take a short
cut to heaven by way of our
own righteousness and have
gotten lost in the wilderness.
It's time we got back on the
right road...the one which leads
through Calvary to the
salvation of the soul as the
primary step. Then we will
have those who will walk the
way of "loving their neighbor
as thyself " but not before.
Final thought: Would this
college dare ask Ford Philpot
to a Religious Emphasis Week?

the person most responsible for

Dr. Henry expressed his thanks
to those present for the job they
had done and then continued to
mention several things in the
area of finances that seemed to
be disturbing numerous students.
He discussed the fact that he had
met with several prominent
people, and they had expressed
confidence in the ability of
LaGrnage College to survive in
this age of increasing costs and
hardships in the field of
education.
The age-old question was then
raised of what the college was
doing in the area of providing
facilities for student recreation,
both on and off campus. Dr.
Henry told of plans in the making
for a recreation area near the
new lake that is being created on
the Chattahoochee River. He
said that the school would consider the proposed construction
of handball courts in a corner of
the athletic field. The pros and
cons of having a school-sponsored
baseball team were also covered
with the cons naving the last
word.
Newly elected student body
president, Charles Stevens, told
of the work being done on the
student handbook. Then, in
closing, Dr. Henry expressed
appreciation for a job well done
by this year's leaders and expectation for a continuation by
next year's. With that, the last
President's Roundtable for this
year came to an end.

The last lovely lass to represent LC as Hilltop Honey this year
is Miss Louise Helen "Lu" Murrah.

Campus to Receive New Gateway

any state in America.

AT SCHOOL.
The new gateway is to be
constructed at the present Broad
Street entrance to the campus,
and will replace the driveway
from Vernon Street where
construction has begun on a new
science building.
The brick and metal
entranceway will feature several
columns and iron work,
interspersed with ornamental
shrubbery, on either side of the
driveway. The drive will be
re-paved with bricks which will
include the college seal in the
design.
R. Woodrow Smith, president
of the Citizens and Southern
Bank of LaGrange and
secretary-treasurer of the Board
of Trustees for LC, said, "All of
the directors were happy to
contribute to the new entrance
and hope that it will become an
attractive campus landmark in
the years to come."

In reply to a HTN survey,
seniors indicated that their plans
are many and different. The
varied plans include summer
work, graduate study at
University of Georgia, University
of South Carolina, Emory Law
School, Boston University, and
many others, marriage and
teaching. Some seniors plan to
work in Troup County; one will
return to LC as an admissions
counselor. Several graduating
men have plans to enter the
National Guard, the Navy, or the
Army. Some seniors plan to just
loaf for a while — for a change?
Others plan to go into business
or other employment.
Leaving LC produces mixed
emotions in most seniors. Most
point out some area where the
school could be improved; they
also are ready with remarks
about the school's outstanding
points. Among these are
mentioned the small campus,
many close friendships, and the
teaching staff.' The main
improvement called for is that of
campus spirit, coming closer
together and avoiding small
group competition. Mixed in
with all this serious
contemplation are some lighter
statements such as "I'll always
remember the first trip to Stop
n' Shop" and simply "Hurrah!"
Paula Klein may have
captured the spirit of impending
graduation with these words: "A
senior has so many mixed
emotions as graduation fever
strikes. There is an excitement:
the diploma, no more studies.
There is a fear: after sixteen
years of schooling and knowing
what each fall would bring,
suddenly "freedom" is a gate to
a giant maze and the outside
world. There is reflection: a time
to say thank you for all the
memories, the classes, the
professors, the basketball games,
Greek affiliation, cafeteria lines,
SGA, No-Doz, dorm life,
roommates, boycotts, plays, the
student center, Stop n' Shop,
end of the road, Homecoming,
May Day, the bookstore, quiet
hours, the Quadrangle — and the
spirit that looms over the
campus. The spirit that makes
you a part: A spirit that rests
within the student body — those
who have gone before and those
who are yet to come, and those
who have shared these four years
of wonderful, frustrating,
turbulent college life. And there
is a sadness amidst the joy — for
there is a time to say goodbye —
to that which can never be
again."
If all this seems too
sentimental, we encourage you
to think about it a long while! In
leaving, you'll yell, "Hurrah!"
and life on the LaGrange College
campus will go on. But, we'll
remember and maybe you will
too!
The Governor's race isn't the
most important elective office in
this state. There is one other
office that is as powerful or
almost so. It doesn't have the
glamour, but it does have the
autonomy and control over its
actions. These actions effect
everyone in the state; the public,
the businessman, the car owner,
the homeowner, the rich and the
poor.
The Comptroller General is the
one post being elected this year
that is as critical as the governor's office to be filled with the
right man.
The Comptroller General is
guardian of the appropriations
bill as passed by the legislature,
controls ledgers on all operations
of state government, regulates
small loan companies, is the
Safety Fire Commissioner and
appoints the state fire marshall,
controls the Consumer Credit act
provisions, handles enforcement
of the Mobile Home act, along
with several other ex-officio
duties.
With this in mind, students
should certainly become involved
in a race so important to them.
One candidate for this office,
Joe Sports, a past Executive
Director
of
Georgia's
Democratic Party, will be at LC
the week of May 25. Sport's
Headquarter's said that the
college caravan will be in the oldfashioned barnstorming style
with a featured dixieland band
and "Sports Punch" served right
from the barrel. They are
scheduled to arrive around 6:00
p.m. Monday afternoon.
It is possible that.other candidates will also be visiting
LaGrange College in the near
future. In the words of one
contender, students should get
involved in this race.
Guess Who
To make this questionnaire
a little more difficult, we
thought that we would try
something different. Match a
member of the '69-'70 faculty,
administration, or staff to the
following sayings:
"Confidentially speaking..."
"In the final analysis..."
See No Evil, Hear No Evil,
Speak No Evil
"Your leader will be here
shortly"
"Economically speaking..."
"We look forward to coming
back."
"Yah-who?"
"Our boys have improved."
"Intuitively, we can see
that..."
"Puff...Puff"
"There isn't a *%%*%%
thing being done."
Also:
Do You Know Where...
...the only concrete-filled
tree on campus is?
...the sundial base is;
...the room where some of
the seniors play "The Game?"
The first person to correctly
answer all the above questions
will be awarded $5.00.
