'Student Of The Week' Transfer Pat Welch Makes Self At Home BY LANE LOVELL EDITOR'S NOTE: Beginning with this issue, The Hilltop News will include a weekly feature subheaded: "The Student of the Week." Chosen by the editorial staff of the news, this student will be selected on the basis of being a true representative of LaGrange College life. Many students who transfer to LaGrange from other schools become actively involved in campus life, and are an integral part of the LaGrange College world. One such transfer is Patricia Welch. Coming from Young Harris in the fall of 1964, she rapidly made a place for herself and is now as at home here as "charter" LC'ers. Her Greek allegiance is to Kappa Phi Delta, and she serves her sorority as an officer. Being secretary of the Panhellenic Council, she has a long list of chores and responsibilities. She is also a member of the Student NEA. Movies May Be On Hill BY ALICE TURNER Movies at LC! It's in the planning stages. The Pre-Ministerial Association may begin a program of recent Hollywood movies on campus soon. If students have any suggestions for movies (anything made within the last 10 years) or, if you wish to see any particular movie stars, write the suggestions down, and send them to Jan Devereaux or David Autrey in the campus mail. A senior English major, Pat is practice teaching this quarter in 8th. grade English. Pat loves to teach. She hopes to receive a master's degree and teach in junior college. At West Fulton.High School in Atlanta, Pat was valedictorian of her graduating class. Her high academic work has persisted, and Pat was named to the Dean's List last quarter with a 4.0 quality point average. BY PAT PHARIS LC's annual Stunt Night, an interclass competition, is scheduled for Friday, January 21. • Sponsored and regulated by the Women's Athletic Association, the event will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Dobbs Auditorium. Admission is 25 cents per person, Including all participants in the class skits. Each skit must last a minimum of ten minutes and a maximum of 15 minutes. Between each class presentation there will be a five minute intermission. Judges for Stunt Night are Mrs. Alice Blodgett, Mrs. Juanita Overcash, and Dr. John Sheppard. Skits will be evaluated primarily on originality and appropriateness. The winner's trophy is now in the hands of the sophomores, last year's freshman class. LaGrange's part in the motorcade to the Atlanta stadium February 12(where Secretary of State Dean Rusk will speak) is being handled by Mike McAfee, Men's Vice President of the SGA. John White is in charge of publicity for the LC project. Other students here working directly with the three phases are Rrooks Shelhnrse. Amelia McKoy, Kaye Lewis, Gary Brown, Drue Linton, ChipFortenberry, George Collins, Bill Spell, Dan Atkinson, and Nick Flaskay. Emphatic public affirmation of theUnitedStates commitment to South Vietnam is the goal of a three-phase state-wide student movement recently initiated at Emory University in Atlanta. Named "Affirmation: Vietnam" by its student organizers, the movement will begin with a comprehensive poll of the residents of Georgia regarding their opinions of the U.S. commitment in Vietnam and will culminate in a massive assembly at Atlanta's new athletic stadium. The third point of the plan of the organization is a statewide speaker's bureau to help inform the public on the facts of the Vietnam crisis « abroad and at home. A politicaUy non-partisan effort, "Affirmation: Vietnam" has already received endorsements and promises of support from student leaders of all the major colleges in Georgia. Included among these supporters are Dick Langford, president of Emory's Student SenatejGeor' ge "Buddy" Darden, President of the University of Georgia Student Body; andHowardTellepson, President of the Georgia Tech Student Body, all of whom are charter members of the student steering committee. Continued on page 3 102 Pints of LC Blood Donated To Red Cross Probation Reviewed By Academic Dean BY LU GILBERT The following information regarding probation was given to The Hilltop News in a recent interview with Dr. C. Lee Harwell, Academic Dean. There have been nineteen suspensions and two exclusions from L.C. as a result of fall quarter's work. ' At the beginning of fall quarter everyone was given a pamphlet entitled "Academic Probation Regulations." These regulations were modified in June, 1965. All rules of probation, suspension, and exclusion are fully discussed therein. If you have misplaced»your copy, go by the office" of the Academic Dean and get another one. There are coppies, available. The stuaents suspended for winter auarter were suspended under regulation 5, paragraph a, of the pamphlet which reads: "A student who, at the end of any quarter, has less than a L0 average for the quarter shall be suspended for the next academic quarter. (Except that following the spring quarter, he may attend summer school). The students who were included were excluded because they passed no academic work. This is stated in regulation 5, paragraph b: "A student who, at the end of any quarter, has passed no academic work shall be ex. eluded." Dr. Harwell says that many of the suspended students have indicated that they will ask that they be allowed to return to the campus spring quarter. Students who have been suspended may apply for readmission after one quarter but students who have been excluded are not permitted to return to LaGrange College. Correction To clarify last week's notice concerning chapel cuts, Dr. Harwell has announced that absences will be handled by the Dean of Students. Three cuts per quarter, including absences due to sickness, will be allowed. Exemptions for this quarter have already been acted upon. Freshman Mary Bowie has blood pressure taken prior to her Red Cross donation last Tuesday. BY TIM ADAMS One hundred two pints of LaGrange College blood were donated last Tuesday for the Red Cross Bloodmobile this year. Setting a new record for LC donors, the number surpas1 sed last year's donation by thirty-seven pints, and this year's quota by twenty-seven. Of the one hundred and fortytwo applicants qualified, forty were rejected as medically ineligible. SGA president Ted Hitchcock indicated that sorority-fraternity competition was largely responsible for the increased participation. Percentage of donations in the basis of the competition Hitchcock indicated that the outcome was very close, and the winner will be announced in assembly tomorrow. Because of morning class conflicts most donors went in the afternoon, and the operation ran over the posted closing time of 4 p.m. It's likely the schedule will be moved up from 10 a.m. -4 p.m. to 11 a.m. -5 p.m. on their next visit. Met Coming To Columbus BY LANE LOVELL Puccini's "Madame Butterfly" is scheduled for production in Columbus on Monday, January 31.

Those of you who have been here for months, years, or decades, are not as aware of your school or yourselves as is this "blind Yankee." 1 claim not to know the core of this "institution of learning," but, I do feel I've had one week to have a good "taste" of it.

LaGrange College could be the most spirited and action school in the entire South (and North as well) if only each and every student made a genuine effort to join and support a school government that only works "by and for" these who are interested. The school and fraternity functions "cry out" for support. Yet, only a few attend; very, very few!

LAGSANOE TU 44644 HOLMES REXALL DRUG STORE Headquarters For All The Famous Brands (ACP)-Louisiana State University administrators have a very effective way of handling student protests, says the Daily Reveille, Baton Rouge. They simply and politely refer the grievances to committee for study and delay a decision indefinitely. This practice has the effect of killing student interest in the issue and thus allowing administrators to either (1) let the issue die without ever making a decision or (2) make a decision contrary to student demonds without spurring other protests or (3) make a decision implementing student requests without appearing to bow to student demands.

The ban of the magazine from the men's dormitories is nothing short of ridiculous and we think most of our administrators know it. We feel the ban will be lifted but only at a time when the administrators will not appear to be giving in to the students. The question is whether the administration should be hesitant in acting on student requests when they have been made in an orderly manner We think they should not. The request to have the Playboy ban lifted has been completely reasonably and orderly. The official request came from the president of the Student Government Assn. and was unanimously endorsed by the Student Council and the President's Cabinet-groups representing almost every phase of campus life.

But the administration's only answer so far is that confiscations will continue until the rules are changed and that the rules are now under consideration. We completely endorse the orderly method of student protest. But these protests must be heard and decisions must be rendered promptly by campus officials. If decisiins reached are contrary tb student wishes, sound reasons must be given. Handled in this manner, the orderly protest is worthwhile to students even if their requests are not granted. But when these protests are continually smothered by having decisions indefinitely postponed, orderly protest is worthless and Berkeleys eventually result. Dr. McCain Says Faith Is Answer BY JOHN OLD Dr. McCain, pastor of the local Presbyterian Church, gave a thought provoking talk last Wednesday; however, it only contained one solution to problems which demand more. Dr. McCain asked three questions: 1. Can you live with yourself? 2. What is the most important thing in life to you? 3. If the worst thing should happen, what would you do? The answer he gives to all three is that God's help will lead one through these problems. This may be ture, but not very concrete. He neglects to mention the role of people. People, discussing these questions and sharing ideas are possibly just as important! God, in the belief of this writer speaks to everyone through the thoughts of others. Therefore, faith in people is parallel to faith in God. BRITISH STERLING EXCLUSIVE TOILETRIES FOR MEN A smashing after shave and a cologne that lasts from dusk to dawn . . . British Sterling.

Since this is your first year at LC, what are your impressions of the school and students? A. This is my first experience teaching at the senior college level. Previously, I've taught for three and a half years at a Junior College. The students at LC seem more mature than those which I've previously taught, and they take an active part in classroom discussion. Also, this is my first experience with working with students majoring in sociology. Personally I've found this to be very rewarding. Q. When giving grades do you mark your students on a competitive basis, or on individual progress? A. Actually, it's both. I have in mind what I feel is exceptional adequate work. I try to grade the student accordingly; Q. Have you found your course: "The Family", an interesting and rewarding educational excursion? A. Of all the courses which I teach, I personally en joy Marriage and the Family more. It is DOUBLE COLA 'Gambit' Is BY DR. WALTER D.

LC Joins'Affirmation: Vietnam' Movement a course which is certainly an academic discipline. It offers a practical value for the individual student. The course gives me the oDDortunity to make a practical contribution to the lives of my students. Q. Have you any suggestions which you feel could benefit LaGrange College? A. I would like to see more students of a diverse cultural and racial background. It would broaden the horizons of under standing. I also feel it would enlarge the students' social horizons. Q. what do you feel about a student cutting your classes: A. At this point, I feel that a student should not take absence if it will hinder the quality of his work. I do understand that every student will miss class on certain occasions. But absences "must" be kept at a minimum. Q. How do you feel about failing a student? A. The most difficult task I have is giving grades. Idomore "soul-searching" over this than anything else. I have never yet failed a student without real regret. I will fail a student if he deserves it. Q. Do you plan on remaining at LaGrange, teaching the courses that you're presently teaching? A. I plan to stay at LaGrange College and give my time and energy in developing the sociology department. FIRST FEDERAL AN IN8TITUTION FOR SAVINGS AND HOME OWNERS SAVINGS and LOAN ASSOCIATION LaGrange, Georgia MEMBER F8LIC Continued from page 1 One of the main purposes of the organization is to present to the public the various historical bases for the United States present position in "the Vietnam situation. A statement prepared by the student organizers of "Affirmation: Vietnam" explains, "In recent months world opinion has been focused on small segments of the United States' population who openly protest their government's involvement in Vietnam. These objectors give strong voice to their convictions, and, the nations of the world, friend and foe alike, must surely wonder at the strength of conviction of those who consider the United States' commitment an undeniable and irrevocable one. "The opinion of the majority cannot be obscured by the voice of the minority. This minority has a right to be heard and, indeed, should and must be heard. However, there rests with the majority the task of making known to the world that our nation's commitment is supported by her people and will be fulfilled. This task can no longer be ignored." According to its constitution, its three-pronged plan of attack (consisting of the educational effort, the opinion poll, and the assembly) will "analyze and present the factual founda. tions of the position and commitment of the United State in) the present Vietnamese conflict." The accomplishment of these goals will entail "the presentation of public discussion groups, forums, panels, lecturers, public assemblies, or other similar programs, the publication of papers, pamphlets, and books, and making known the results of public polls and other indicia of public opinion," the constitution .states. Although the organizers consists entirely of "college and high school students of the state of Georgia, it has received endorsement and much support from outstanding national leaders of government, business, and the press. This wise and witty play, with its polished dialogue, brilliantly evokes the spirit oftheNewMan of the Renaissance in its characterization of Henry Vin, so effectively portrayed by Ken Chapman. Ranging over the gamut of the modern era encompassed by more than four centuries, the action of the play centers upon the complex relationships between Henry and his wives. Dominating the production, which in every way displayed a high degree of competence on the part of those who contributed to its success, the Henry of Ken Chapman was ably supported by the other members of the cast. As a senior who has par. ticipated in many dramatic pro. ductions on the LaGrange College campus, Ken Chapman sur. passed all his previous perfor mances in his superb recreation of the brilliant, vain, crafty, reign ushered in our modern world. He and the other members of the cast succeeded in conveying the pathos and tragedy of the intricate series of events brought on by the restless king's quest for gold, state and power- and an ideal wife. Rosemary Neely, who portrayed the difficult role of Henry's proud Spanish queen, Katarina of Aragon, merits special commondation for her mastery of the part, which she assumed only two weeks before the opening night of the play. But Katzi Kurtz as Anne Boleyn, Carolyn Mitchell as Jane Seymour, Mary Anna Daniel as Kathryn Howard, andSusanButler as Kate Parr, likewise projected their roles with great effectiveness. A special bow goes to Judy Fraser for her brilliant performance as Henry's homely but shrewd ly clever fourth wife, Anna of Cleves, the German princess whom he had obtained in "mail-order" fashion after he was presented with Hans Holbein's now famous, alltoo-flattering portrait of her. The problems inherent in projecting effectively the contrasting personalities of six different feminine characterizatons, and yet maintaining a proper balance between them and the solo masculine role, were ably surmounted in this production. The combination of Gressieker's skillfully written drama Miss Marilyn McKay's highly effective direction, an unusually simple but brilliant stage setting, beautiful costuming, plus a uniformly excellent cast and a proficient production staff, all contributed to the success achieved by the Curtain Raisers in their latest production.

"We hated to lose to Shorter, but I think our boys found out that they can play right along with Shortsr and the conference race is a long way from being over." Mariotti said.
