The Bill Black Cmmbo will entertain for Lc's 1965-66 Homecoming Dance it was announced
last week by Mrs. CarolynBurgess, director of alumni activities, and Chip Fortenberry,
student Homecoming chairman.
"1 am very pleased that we
were able to retain this outstanding show band for the danMrs. Burgess said. "This fine
group", she continued, "will
easily make this year's dance
as successful as was last
year's."
Fortenberry said that he
"was very pleased with the
group chosen. We can't miss
with this top name entertainment", he said.
The Combo, which just finish,
ed touring with The Beatles
through the country, is known
for its recording ability. It has
served such stars as Gene
Pitney, Johnny Tillotson, Roy
Orbison, and Roy Hamilton in
recording sessions.
The group has toured with
an endless list of stars and
groups including Pitney, Bryan
Hyland, Gary Lewis and the
Playboys, Vic Dana, The Crystals, Doby Gray, and Billy Joe
Royal.
Bill Black's Combo is one of
the few entertainers to remain
for any length of time in the
ever-changing field of popular
music. This characteristic
of the combo is due to Bill
Black's amazing insight into
the tastes of the record buying
public. Black arranges and composes nearly everything the
group records.

Center, the college- bookstore,

EDITORIALS
Spot In Today's
LC students received a long-awaited vote of
confidence from the faculty and adminstration last
week with the modification of the rules on proper
dress. Something inspired this confidence. However,
the source is not as important as its continued propagation. The responsible officials emphasized the
fact that the new practice will be in effect on a trial
basis until Spring quarter. When given the proverbial
inch, let us not take a mileStudents are always getting in their little groups
and expressing their opinions about what's wrong
with LaGrange College. Many times they criticize the
"crummy" editorials in The Hilltop News.
As editor of The Hilltop News I wish to extend
an invitation to LaGrange students to express their
opinions, criticisms and maybe even praises in writing.
The staff will print what we think you want to
know and should know. You can help with letters to
the editor. All signed letters to the editor can be
printed They should not be more than 250 words in
length and typed- But at no time will a letter be
published which is a personal attack on a student, a
member of the faculty or administration. Letters may
be deposited in the campus mail addressed to The
Hilltop News or to the editor. I hope that as many
students as possible will take advantage of this means
to express their likes and dislikes so that we of The
Hilltop News can put out a better students' paper.

Changing World
BY MIKE CHRISTENSEN
BY JOHN WHITE
The current crisis between
India and Pakistan dates back
beyond and deeper than the
squabble over Kashmir. At the
root of the present conflict is
the struggle for recognition by
India's military establishment.
NBC Correspondent for West
Germany, Wells Hangan, who
spent six years in the Indian
post, discussed this aspect of
the present conflict with this
reporter.
According to Hangan.India's
military suffered humiliation
several years ago when the Red
Chinese defeated India in a
border clash. As a result the
military leaders of India have
endeavored to find a way of
redeeming their lost prestige.
Hangan says that when small
bands of rebels moved into
Kashmir from Pakistan the mill,
tary saw an opportunity that
they thought was almost surefire. The only thing that they
had not counted on was Pakistan's strength.
Apparently they felt that they
could defeat Pakistan in short
order. Pakistan, remembering
old wounds, bitterly fought back.
At the center of the fighting
is Kashmir, which both India
and Pakistan claim. An underground network in both countires is working constantly to
make tiny Kashmir a part of its
own nation.
A simple solution for the
whole problem would be to hold
an election and let the people of
Kashmir themselves decide the
issue. Both India and Pakistan,
however, distrust each .other
and fear that an election would
go against them. Thus, a stalemate exists.
In recent weeks Pakistan has
been calling for an election to
settle the question. Most informed sources feel that this
call is purely for propaganda
and if India did agree to hold
an election Pakistan would
quickly find some excuse for
backing out.
Most observers believe that
when both countries get tired of
playing war or when Red China
begins putting real pressure
on India the present conflict
will simpy revert to status
quo and everything will be all
smiles again ... at least on
the surface.

A Typical L. C. Student.!?
BY HUGH
The typical LaGrange College student is a creature found
between the gawkiness of early
adolescence and the dignity of
full adulthood. He comes in
assorted sizes, weights, and
ages, but seems to have the sam
creed: to enjoy every minute
of every hour of every day; to
delay doing class assignements
and term papers; to anticipate
forthcoming weekends; to engage in all-night bull sessions;
to do the right thing at the
wrong time and the wrong thing
at the righttime; to spend money
• extravagantly, and to complain
incessantly. The LC student
is found everywhere, on tables
or the patio, up and down the
steps, at the Nite Owl, at
Homer's, or in the bed.
Our typical student likes the
opposite sex, cars, parties,
mail, our new dean of students, the opposite sex, as little work as possible, the bed,
unlimited cuts, weekend trips;
our new dean's secretary, and
last but certainly not least the
opposite sex.
The LC prototype is not much

Happiness is the goal of every
person in the world. To some it
means just one good square
meal a day; to some it just
means watching others be happy, and of course there are sadistic people that enjoy seeing
others suffer. In America it takes more to make people happy
because we take much of what
we have for granted.

Girls Really Love It
In Candler Cottage
BY ELAINE LATHEM
There are ten girls on campus this quarter who can truly
say they are living at a home away from home.
They are occupying the President's former home and the
lucky girls are: AmeliaMcCoy,
Girl's Vice President of the
SGA, Marty Harrison, Faith
Gunnells, Jackie Reeves.Guinn
Smith, Sandra Burgess, Judi Hitchock, Sandra Roberts,
Linda Long, and Sirkka Salo,
a foreign student from Finland.
Among the conveniences in
the house are a kitchen complete
with stove, freezer,refrigerator and dish washer. The girls
also have available a TV room,
a study room much like their
own library with set-in floure-
scent lights above each desk.
The house also contains three
b aths, carport, base ment, plenty of closet and shelf space,
wall-to-wall carpets and draperies. As an extra feature,
there is no house mother or
proctor.
As for personal comments the
girls say: "It's terrific! Just
like our own apartment." "The
carpets are great • no cold
floors in the mornings." "Much
more personal freedom than in
the dormitories." "It's a privilege to be able to live herebut we need a place to bring
the boys."

Several Surprises
Hit SEC Football
Unless the current wave of
upsets comes to a halt soon,
this year's Southeastern Conference grid champ could be a
real surprise.
The pre-season choices were
Alabama, Florida, Kentucky,
and Louisiana State with Ole
Miss considered an outside possibility. Yet here we are with
the campaign hardly begun and
the first four have already been
beaten and the Rebels are in
last place.
The leader, with a 2-0 mark,
is the Cinderella team of the
Southeast — the Georgia Bulldogs. In second, and looking
tougher every week, is Mississippi State which wound up in
eighth place last fall.
This past Saturday did little
to clarify the situation:
Georgia u p s e 15th - ranked
Michigan 15-7, Florida beat 6thranked Louisiana State 14-7, Auburn upset 8th-ranked Kentucky
23-18, and Alabama came from
behind in the closing minutes
to edge Mississippi 17-16.
In other action Saturday: Mississippi State routed Tampa487, Tulane upset Miami 24-16,
Vanderbilt lost to Wake Forest
7-0, Georgia Tech crushed
Clemson 38-6, Florida State
edged Baylor 9-7 and Southern
Mississippi beat Richmond 287.
Tennessee and Memphis State
were idle.
An Off-Beat Turn
Conference action takes an
off-beat turn this week. Georgia will be host to Clemson
and Tennessee to South Carolina in a pair of games that
will count in the conference
standings to make up for Georgia Tech's withdrawal from the
SEC last year. League rules require members to play six conference games.
In more bonafide SEC play,
Florida will be at Ole Miss and
Alabama will be at Vanderbilt.
Elsewhere, in
non-league
games, Auburn will be host to
Chattanooga, Kentucky host to
Florida State, Louisiana State
at Miami, Mississippi State host
to Southern Mississippi, Tulane
host to Georgia Tech and Memphis State at Tulsa.
The Georgia victory over
Michigan didn't have any bearing on the SEC race but it is
bound to give future opponents
reason to be concerned about
the Bulldogs who weren't expected to be a decisive factor
this fall.
That Georgia's defense was
sound was expected. But the
Bulldogs weren't expected to
roll up 254 yards against the
massive Wolverines. Bob Etter,
smallest man on the field at
150 pounds, led the scoring with
three field goals and an extra
point.
Football is in the air again at LaGrange College. This Thursday at 4 p.m., Pi Delta Kappa
and Gamma Phi Alpha will square of in the first game of the season. This is expected to be one
ofthebigest games of the year. Last year Pi Delt went undefeated and the Blue and Gold hopes
to do it again and retain their title. Gamma Phi and Sigma Nu Pi plan to see that it is different.
