PAGE 2 HILL-TOP NEWS LAGRANGE COLLEGE

Birth of the News Well, as Topsy would say, "Here we is!" And, though the

grammatical structure of this sentence could come into con- siderable abuse, we know of no better way to introduce the Hill-Top News to the campus. Perhaps a more formal way would be appropriate, but we want this to be an informal paper

full of news, views and highlights of LaGrange College. In a sense it is really your newspaper, because without your advice and moral support we would not be in existence today.

The history of the News is necessarily a brief one. It began at the first of school when a group got together and decided the Hill needed a newspaper. The ball started rolling when the Student Council heard of the idea and agreed to back it 100 per cent. The president's office was the next step, and an im- portant one, but he, too, agreed that a newspaper was needed and told us that one more approval was necessary before we could really begin — the advisory council. Two of us met with the different depai'tment heads and presented what we hoped was a sound argument for a newspaper. The one short hour between the time of the actual decision and the time we were informed were suspense-filled moments. But the waiting paid off, and we actually began work on "your" paper.

Unfortunately we still lacked one vital object — money. But we were sure that some way the money could be found. Here we want to say a grateful "thank you" to the S.C.A., the W.A.A., and the Student Government for their financial support. But we knew that even with this money we had to have addi- tional funds to cover operational costs of the paper. The only logical answer was advertisements. When we started selling ads we were not prepared for the tremendous response we received. Our advertisers have shown that they are interested in this school and its students, and for this we are very thankful.

So this is our first issue. We have made mistakes, but we are young, and will benefit from each issue and each issue's problems. All we ask of you now is your interest and continued support. In this area we urged you to patronize our advertisers, and tell them you saw their ad in the News. We hope this paper will become a part of the college, and that each succeeding student generation will remember the LaGrange Hill-Top News as a large part of their college life. (L. H.)

Pain and Progress Anyone presently connected with LaGrange College will

agree that pain and progress sometimes walk hand in hand. The case in point here is the new schedule of classes.

The pain is very apparent. Students have slept—unexcused— through classes. Professors have failed to meet classes. The administration has received a multitude of complaints and suf- fered numerous headaches. Schedules have been changed, tears have been shed, and frustration over class conflicts has been rampant. Confusion has reigned supreme because of the rotating schedule of one hour classes.

However, all this suffering has not been in vain. The new schedule is, in fact, one of the less apparent aspects of the progress that L. C. is making. Closer examination reveals that the new schedule is not only logical but it is efficient. Confusion at the outset was the natural result of changing from one system to another. But as the confusion subsides under the balm of time and experience, it becomes more apparent that the new system is progressive. Change is not synonymous with progress, but the new schedule is a change that cannot but be advantageous for all concerned.

Those interest-dulling four day gaps between classes are gone. The new schedule, rotating in an orderly fashion, allows students and professors to meet classes with a minimum time lapse. Gone also are the spine-breaking hour-and-a-half classes. It was a wise person who said, "Mind cannot absorb more than seat can endure."

Class time is now standardized under the new schedule. This should prove a boon to both the faculty and student body. The professors can organize their lectures on a one hour basis for each semester. Testing time will now be the same for each class or section of a class.

Although it was not designed for this specific purpose, the new schedule should facilitate the expected change to the quarter system.

While it is less spectacular and less apparent, administra- tive and academic progress is fully as important as the physical progress which our school is making. Physical progress alone is futile. In order to fulfill the highest potential of the school, all phases must keep abreast with the times.

Many of us who are vitally concerned will have departed before the full advantages of the new schedule are realized. Even so, we are proud to be a part of the growth of L. C. We commit ourselves to the new schedule in the name of progress. We also say thank you to the administration for keeping pace with the progress of our physical plant. (J. H.)

ELIZABETH GARNER

From My Point of View It's almost Thanksgiving now.

Chill is in the air, and the trees are almost naked of their leaves. In fact, we'll probably have snow for Thanksgiving Day. I can just picture everything. Smells of mincemeat and pumpkin pies and (gulp) turkey will prevade the snow-covered farmhouse. I shiver to think of it. Now why did I have

turkey from a chicken. (I have my toes crossed). Meanwhile, back at the farmhouse, the mo- thers are busily engaged in cut- ting pies and each other. Once or twice they mention how glad they are that Thanksgiving comes only once a yoar. For them, guess it does.

All this action has been a to remember? Here I am well-fed; warm-up for the sumptuous din- and comfortable. I should be happy, and I usually am, but the thought of Thanksgiving Day gives me chills.

To me, Thanksgiving Day is just a pain in the neck, those hysterical children

Tough Schedule Faces Panthers When the 1958 edition of "The

Hill" Panthers take to the hard- wood Friday night for the opening basketball contest of the season, there will be little resemblance to squads of previous years.

In fact only three lettermen will be on hand at Clarksville tomor- row evening when the L. C. cag- ers meet North Georgia Trade School in a pre-season scrap. With only captain and center Olin Harp, reserve center Mickey Reams, and forward Larry Bos- well returning from last year's team which compiled a 15-8 rec- ord, Coach Hiram Reeves has his hands full trying to shape a win- ning team out of this season's new material.

A member of the newly organ- ized Georgia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, LaGrange faces a tough slate of 14 league battles in addition to contests with such opponents as the fresh- man teams of Auburn and Clem- son, and Troy State College of Alabama.

After pre-season warmups at North Georgia Trade and Young Harris this week-end, the Panth- ers go to work in earnest in preparation for their conference opener with Oglethorpe in At- lanta, Monday, Dec. 1. The local cagers meet Piedmont and Erskine before playing their first home game on Dec. 8 against

North Georgia College of Dah- lonega.

Olin Harp is in his fourth year at LaGrange and as a member of the Panthers is a big 6'3", 190 lb. center from Cusseta, Georgia. Olin has lettered three years in a row at L. C. and holds the record in that department with Malone Dodson, who is not on the squad this year. Last year Olin was a big man in the Panther offense, finishing the season with a 10.3 point average.

Mickey Reams from LaGrange, is back for his second year on the Panther squad and taking over the number 2 center position. A sophomore majoring in business administration, Mickey stands 6'3", 180 lbs. Mickey played his high school ball at Troup High in LaGrange.

Larry Boswell also back for his second year is a sophomore from Phenix City, Alabama. A 6'2", 170 lb. forward, Larry played his high school ball at Central High School in Phenix City. Larry fin- ished last season with an impres- sive 9.5 average and will be de- pended on this year to carry a large part of the team's effort.

Wayne Copeland, a native of LaGrange, is a 6'4", 190 lb. forward or center. Wayne comes to the team from Young Harris College. He was an outstanding ballplayer at Young Harris and

was All-state his freshman year, 1956-57. He is a very versatile player in that he will be able to play at the center position when needed and at forward also. Wayne is a junior.

At one of the guard positions is Wallace Brown a 6'1", 179 lb. junior from Cartersville. Wallace is also a transfer from Young Harris. He played his high school ball at Pine Log High School. Wallace is one of the most ag- gressive ballplayers and one of the smartest play-makers in col- lege basketball.

From Miller County High School in Colquitt, Georgia and trans- ferring from North Georgia Trade School is Buddy Grimes, a 170 lb., 5'11", guard. Buddy makes up for his short size with speed. He is also an outstanding ball handler and should see quite a bit of action this year with the Panthers. Buddy is a sophomore.

Jerry Carden, from Phenix City, Ala., is a transfer from the University of Alabama. Jerry is a 6'1", 175 lb. guard. He is very impressive from the outside with a set shot and is a smart ball handler. He is a sophomore.

Transferring from Auburn is 6'3", 203 lb. forward Herbie Slayden from Columbus, Ga. Herbie played high school ball at Jordan in Columbus. He is very fast and aggressive for his size and is a very . good rebounder. Herbie is a sophomore.

Bolstering the forward position will be Jimmy Johnson, a trans- fer from Emory University and a native of Grantville, Ga., where he played his high school ball. Jimmy is a 6'1", 160 lb. junior and shows good speed and good ball handling on the court.

A senior at LaGrange College this year, Jerry Binns lettered his freshman year and then trans-

ferred to Young Harris his sopho- more year. He came back to LaGrange his junior year. Jerry is very fast and will bolster the

New Campus Buildings Ready In Late Spring

With the William H. Turner, Hall already completed and oc-| cupied, the building program at, LaGrange College is proceeding: rapidly. Presently two other buildings, the new gymnasium and the Louise Anderson Manget Classroom Building, are under construction. The spacious new parking lot, also recently com- pleted, has alleviated campus parking problems.

The new gym, constructed and equipped at an approximate cost of $325,000, will be a modern, fully equipped building. In addi- tion to the gym floor, with a seat- ing capacity of 809, the building will contain the complete Physical Education Department, the Main- tenance Department, and a kitchen.

An outstanding feature of the Physical Education Department will be a large room designed for indoor physical activities. The room will have a tile floor with two inlaid shuffleboard courts. Equipped with folding chairs and tables, the room will also double as a banquet room and a place for small dances. The department will also include a room equipped' with regular classroom facilities.'

For use in the Physical Educa-j tion Department and the normal! gym activities there will be fully equipped locker rooms for both! men and women. Also, there will be a dressing room and showers for visiting men's basketball teams.

Sleeping accomodations for visiting teams which must stay overnight will no longer be _a problem for there will be a bunk room equipped with double decker steel beds.

The main floor will contain one of the most modern basketball plants, according to College Busi- ness Manager Austin Cook. The

court will be equipped with glass, rectangular backboards for regu- lar play. There will also be four retractable backboards for prac- tice sessions. A scoreboard clock which indicates minutes and sec- onds left to play and a public address system, which is being incorporated into the construction of the building, should add to spectator interest.

Newsmen and officials will find comfortable and efficient quart- ers. Besides a booth for reporters and game officials, there will be a broadcasting booth with radio facilities.

Refreshments for fans will be supplied from a concession booth in the lobby. The trophy case will tell the story of the accomplish- ments of the Panthers. There will also be a first-aid room in the event an emergency should arise.

The new gym is expected to be completed in time for LaGrange College to be host to the Georgia Intercollegiate Athletic Confer- ence Tournament, February 26-28. This is the first year for the G.I.A.C. games and it is ap- propriate that L. C. should be host in the new gym.

Construction is also underway on the $200,000 Louise Anderson Manget Classroom Building. Steel girders and construction on the first floor mark the progress of this modern three-story structure.

The building will house offices for sixteen professors, twelve classrooms, and a visual-aids room.

Offices and classrooms will be equipped with the latest furnish- ings. The new classrooms should relieve present crowded condi- tions and provide for the increase in enrollment at LaGrange Col- lege expected by the administra- tion.

The visual-aids room will be

The conference was also attend- ed by Betty Jo Croom, president of the W.A.A., and Mrs. Joe Cope- land. This is the first year that LaGrange College has participat- ed in the state conference.

Delegates to the conference observed athletic demonstrations, participated in group sports, and heard reports on such things as qualifications for physical edu- cation teachers.

The LaGrange College delegates returned, confident that the in- formation they obtained would be of immediate benefit to the women's athletic program. equipped with a projection booth for showing films, film strips, and slides. The screen will be built into the ceiling and may be raised or lowered. The room will also contain a record player, a tape recorder, and other audio equip- ment.

This building will have outside entrances to both the first and second floors and will be connect- ed with the parking lot by a paved walk. Ihe present drive which passes in front of the building will be altered to elim- inate the sharp curve at the top of the Vernon Street entrance.
