The Student Government held its annual planning retreat April 3-5", at Camp Glisson, near Dah- lonega. The main purpose of the LC handbook and make any retreat was to go through the changes in rules which the council advisable. These changes will be announced later, after they are approved by the Advisory Council of the SGA.

As a result of suggestions which students had put in the sugges- tion box, the council decided upon several recommendations to make to the administration. In- cluded among these were recommendations that a partition be put up between the halls in the first floor of Pitts and in Hawkes next year when girls will be liv- ing on the first floor; for all classes to be dismissed prompt- ly when the 1:00 bell rings; that there be a bigger variety of chapel programs and that hymns not be sung when it is not a worship service: that enclosures be provided for the telephones in Smith and Hawkes, with more phones to be put in Turner Hall; and that a more effective way be worked out to run the date office.

A committee will be appointed to talk with the absence committee about the absence policy. Also, a committee from the council will go before the board of trustees with suggestions that ma- chines other than carbonated drinks, such as milk and orange juice, be put in the dormitories; that a cigarette machine be put somewhere on campus; and that clothes dryers be bought for the girls, so that the clothes line behind Pitts will no longer be necessary.

In regard to suggestions about doing away with the Junior- Freshman wedding, the council voted to continue the wedding, but to stress the seriousness of it. The council did vote to elim- inate having ring-bearers and flower girls in the wedding.

An addition to the SGA con- stitution was the three amend- ments on which LC students recently voted.

The council went through the handbook and suggestions in record time, finishing in less time


HILL-TOP NEWS — LAGRANGE COLLEGE APRIL 9, 1959

Quarter Replaces Semester For the first time in history LaGrange Col-

lege ill begin operating on the quarter system starting tnis summer.

Tne transition was announced officially recently t>y Dr. waights G. ±ienry, althougn it has been a well-known tact around the campus.

Tnis step is in tune with the times. Many colleges in the south have switched to the quarter system ,witn tew remaining under the semester pian.

There are many advantages to this idea. It is impossiDle to transfer from semester to quarter or vice-versa witnout losing nours and time. This problem oi transier is enminated wnen the school coinorms to tne present-day system.

borne nave ieit tnat naving a class only three times a weeK ninaers retention and makes it hard- er to grasp tne material, flaving a class five times a weeK, running consecutively will enable one to concentarte lor a longer time on a subject.

'mere is also tne age-old question: are seven or eignt subjects too many to really absorb at one time r Ur is it better to place al of one's energies on tnree or four subjects'.

we will await tne quarter system with interest and anticipation as .LaGrange College makes one more progressive step forward.

Mrs. Cook, are you sure these scales are right?

Horton Here And You

SGA No Bed Of Roses Friendliness Is The Rule Here The recent Hill-Top News article concerning

the Student Government Association Council brougnt forth mixed reactions from the student bouy. Some agreed with the idea of praising the group — others felt that the Council had not done as good a job as they could have.

Wnicnever way your teelings lie there is still an obvious truth tnat everyone on dampus cannot know — but snould: being on the Student Gov- ernment is no bed of roses.

Human nature being what it is, often we ex- pect a great deal from our leaders but fail to give tnem tne support without which they cannot serve effectively. The incoming officers will have to have cooperation from every member of the student body in order to function well. These then ar our responsibilities.

To pin-point the duties of the SGA officers is hard. Flowering words dealing with their representing the student body will be useless unless future actions show this to be true. It will be necessary for each officer to have his finger on the pulse of the campus. No longer will he be an individual representing his own biased opinion, but the voice of many people, all with differing views and attitudes.

It is also unfortunate, but some students are inclined to feel that all council members are or- dained spies, trying to find things to report. Be- cause of this belief, a person serving as an officer must above all, follow the rules that he has vowed he would uphold regardless of personal feelings and attachments.

An installation before the student body places responsibility on the ones who take the oaths — but the responsibility is infinitely greater when it is assumed before God.

To our new student body officers — Con- gratulations! We are behind you all the way.

By JOHN The exception to the rule is al-

ways more noticeable than the rule itself. This fact I think is the very core of criticism, construc- tive or destructive. I want to take time out to praise something that is often taken for granted by L.C. students.

While a senior in high school, I attended the annual house party for prospective students. The thing that impressed me most was not the magnificent produc- tion of "Blithe Spirit" by the

Letter to Editor Dear Editor

What is meant by school spirit? Is it only supporting the basketball games? There was a great deal of comment by several of the students attending these games to those who were not there. Do these people support other school events — social or religious.

At the recent WAA installation there were seven people besides the retiring council and the newly elected one. I ask you if attend- dance at such activities would not also be included as school spirit.

Name Withheld

HORTON Curtain Raisers. Nor was it the impressive way the girls' basketball team stomped West Georgia College. I was eternally effected by the warm friendliness of the campus. There existed a sincere hospitality that was not the possession of a few appointed com- mitteemen, but a contagious ele- ment that seemed to be a com- mon denominator of social graces.

LaGrange College still, pos- sesses this virtue. No stranger ever climbs this hill. The gloss of every new student is soon re- placed by the dust of his already favorite parlor.

Sure, there are a few cliques that speak only within them- selves; and there are the timid ones who have to be caught glancing up from their shoe laces before they can be spoken to. But, by and large, L. C. students possess this age-old quality refer- red to throughout Dixie as Sou- ethern hospitality.

It's my prayer that the increas- ing enrollment and spreading campus will not quench this warmth.

Confetti BY RAY BARFIELD

Last year it was the Goo-Goo bird (see page three) that kept us in mischief. On April Fool's Day another "character" hit the Quadrangle (right smack in the middle). It was Dr. Shibley's mannikin, dressed in vivid red and peering around a large tree. Bel on Edmunds suggested that "Baldine" was Yul Brynner's wife.

John Reed was telling Tom Powers about trying to catch a jellyfish for Dr. Shibley while he was home in Miami during the holidays. John showed Tom a sting mark on his arm, and Tom was terribly concerned." . . . You sure it wasn't a Portuguese Man- of-War?" John replied, "Heck, I didn't take time to notice where didn't take time to notice whether it was a Man or a Woman, I just got out of there!"

Rose Elliott and Tom Brown created a sensation when they sang solos at Baker High School in Columbus on the Choralaires tour. Both of them were forced to sign autographs after the program was over. Tom, in fact,

Communication By JOE HAYNIE

The words of Dr. Gordon M. Brown in chapel on Honor's Day brought the world situation much closer to our campus.

As Dr. Brown spoke of com- municating with others through language, one could not help but think of the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

From the thought of NATO, it was but a step to the upcoming Foreign Ministers conference on Berlin. Certainly this is a situation to tax both the ability and the willingness of our diplomats to communicate with one another.

The traditional American policy of non-intanglement in the affairs of others is gone. America's future freedom is irrevocably tied to that of the rest of the free world.

Yet, despite the fact of the need for free world unity, many of we Americans still think in the terms of the foreign policy of our founding fathers.

Occasionally evident on our campus is an attitude which is apparently all too true of our entire nation. If we just ignore sit- uations such as Berlin, maybe the criss will disappear. Never before in history has this been less true, however.

It is an old cliche that today's youth are tomorrow's leaders. Despite being well worn with use, this remains a cold hard fact. Since this is the case, is it not time for today's youth to begin taking a vital interest in our foreign affairs.

We, the students of LaGrange College, and others like us, are on the threshold of an era that can make or break the free world. As Dr. Brown so aptly pointed out, time and distance are relatively nonexistant in our fast moving world. The world is our neighbor.

Continuing with Dr. Brown's thought, only a greater under- standing of other people can establish a basis for world peace. Is this then not another reason for the youth of today to take a more active role in learning of others.

This writer makes no claim to being an expert in the field of foreign affairs. Nor do I offer any pat solution. However, I would challenge those concerned to rise to greater heights as tomorrow's leaders.

going to the second place winners and 10 to the third place winner in archery. First places in bad- minton and ping pong contests have a value of 20 points each and second places, 10 points. All points will be awarded to soror- ities and fraternities.

The trophey for the highest total number of Field Day points, as well as the trophies and cups for volleyball, Softball, and tennis winners will be presented at the Athletic Banquet on April 23.

Mrs. Joe Copeland will officiate at the volleyball and softball games and the tennis matches. WAA Council Members will officiate at the other events.

The WAA Council urges every student to support all the activities of field day so that athletics will continue to afford enjoyment on this campus. The girls will be allowed to wear short shorts throughout Field Day and to all meals.

Graduate Exams For Sophomores And Seniors

Graduate Record Exams, com piled by the Educational Testinr Program, will soon be adminis tered to all LaGrange College -ophomores. Friday, April 10 at 2:00 the seniors will take thr Advanced Tests, which are de imed to measure each student's

ichievement and ability to work- in his major field of study. Al- though no one student is likely to be familiar with the entire subject matter of any test, the scope of the test will be such as to permit an adequate expression of his knowledge and abilities.

Saturday, April 11 at 8:00 a. m. sophomores and seniors will take the Area Tests which provide for a comnrehensive appraisal of the student's orientation in three principal areas of human culture- social science, humanities, and latiral science. When Area Tests ire administered near the end of the senior year, the results are often n-cd as general comprehen- sives for the evaluation of growth during the last two years of college or throughout the four years of college.

In preparation for the tests it is important to know that their characters are such that a special, last minute attempt tc "cram" is not likely to effective. The tests are also designed so that the average student taking them will answer correctly only about fifty per cent of the ques- tions.

Goo-Goo Bird And Friend

Goo Goo Bird A Legend

At LaGrange By JOHN HORTON

The Goo Goo Bird is a legend. It's only three years old, but it's a legend. New students and faculty can't appreciate the nostalgic way veterans refer to the concrete statue. Perhaps a few facts will aid posterity in keeping the legend straight in the centuries to come.

D". W-ights G. Henry, jr. was driving back from Miami where he had attended the annual meeting of the Association of Amer- ican Colleges. His attention was seized by a small roadside shop in Florida exhibiting "second "lass concrete statuary." Among the things of interest, a birdbath, featuring a boy with a goose in his arms, attracted his fancy. "It was love at first sight," he said later.

The bov and goose were then "migrated" north to LaGrange College via Henry Roadway Ex- press, and placed in the Maidee Smith Gardens next to Dr. Jennie Lee Enns' flower bed. '#'

M'SS

Epps did not particularly wel- come the addition." Later, it was moved across the walk where its "carcas" remains to this date.

But the boy and his goose did not lead an uneventful life on the Hill. Students began to affection- ally refer to it as the "Goo Goo Bird." From time to time it has migrated as all normal birds should For instance, it was once found buried in a ditch. Or, like the time the lady on the other end of the telephone line asked Dr. Henry if the college owned a statue of a little boy holding a bird. Dr. Henry replied in the affirmative and flinched as she asked if it were missing. He look- ed out the window of his office and again said, "Yes." "Then I would appreciate it if you would send someone after it; it's in my flower bed," she said.

Too, there were more obscure trips, like being in the trunk of someone's car for a few days. Short range flights like journeys to the Town Girls' Room were not uncommon, neither unnoticed by students, faculty, or administration.

It's the prerogative of some birds to change their feathers, and the Goo Goo Bird was no different. The original color of white was the base of many colors during its three-year reign. Red, green, and yellow matched it with the seasons, though not always simultaneously.

Dr. Henry looks back over the years and reminisces with no re- grets. "The Goo Goo Bird has

Vespers Once Or Twice A Week? By JANE NIXON

Do you prefer having vespers once or twice a week? Eileen Blalock — Twice so that

people can keep up good worship habits throughout the week.

Mary G. Dean — Once because students are so busy and the committees will have an oppor-

meant a great deal to the student body and the college. Every college has a pop-off valve, and the Goo Goo Bird was ours."

Where is the bird now? On one of its last migrations, the Goo Goo Bird had one of its wings broken, and was retired which fulfills the poet's verse, "The bird with broken penion ne'er flies so high."

tunity to work up a good program.

Sylvia Cowen — Much can be gained if there are two well planned programs a week. But this can be harmful if the programs aren't good.

Martha Frances Griffin — There should be two good programs a week because^ some student may have a conflict on one of those nights.

Ray Barfield — Once because one good program a week will prob- ably get more people.

Wayne Fears — Twice because this a Methodist school and as much as possible should be done to stimulate a religious atmosphere.

The Sports Bug IFC Decides Volleyball; Field Day Set

BY PAUL BUGG

When the final 1958-59 basketball statistics were released last week, Coach Hiram Reeves' LaGrange Panthers proved they could compete with the best in the business.

In national ranking the Panthers placed in three categories by finishing No. 29 in Field Goal Percentage, No. 45 in Free Throw Percentage and No. 50 in Team Defense. These statistics are based on reports from over 800 small colleges and are compiled by the National Collegiate Athletic Bu- reau in New York City.

Wallace Brown, leading Panther scorer, hit 52 per cent from the floor to lead the players with 250 or more attempts in District 25, N.A.I.A. Wallace ranked eighth in scoring in the district with an 18.7 average, finished ninth in free throw- ing with 77.7 per cent and seventh in rebounding as he picked off 10.2 per game.

Other individual statistics show Jerry Carden finishing ninth in Field Goal Shooting in the 100 to 249 attempts chart. Carden was the top Panther in the Free Throw Shooting category with 807 per cent, which was good enough for second in the district.

District rebounding honors was taken by La- Grange with 56.0 per game, a spread of 6 over their nearest rival. Wayne Copeland was the district leading rebounder as he grabbed off 215 in 21 games for a 15.0 average.

Team-wise the Panthers took first place in four categories. Besides team rebounding honors, the LC cagers scored the most team points in one game (120 against West Georgia), the most field goals in a single game (51 against West Georgia), and most team rebounds in one game (83 against Berry College). They took second in team winning margin as they averaged 77.4 points per game whiel holding opponents to only 63.1 per game for a 14.3 margin. These averages gave them second in team scoring and fourth in team defense.

At last Wednesday's meeting of the Interfraternity Council, the volleyball tournament between the fraternities was set up. The atheletic representatives from the fraternities were appointed tc draw up a schedule of matches.

The IFC voted that each tea- terity would play 4 games each rather than have a double elim- ination tournament as has been the procedure in the past. The winner will be the team with the best record. It was also decided that the games would be two 15- minute halves and that a min- imum of 6 players on a team would be required. If a team can not field 6 players, they rorfeit the game.

Other business consisted of ap- pointing council members to draw up a bracket each for ping pong singles and doubles and tennis ingles and doubles. Members of

the tennis team are ineligible to play in the tournament but may sign up until tennis team players are chosen. No mention. was made of the remaining game of the basketball tournament between Sigma Nu Pi and Gamma Phi Alpha. Field Day was set for April 15.
