A Greek Path (NEWS STAFF PHOTO)

Last night some 200 stutdents picked up their bids in the Student Center. This scene is pictured above.

Pledging a fraternity or sorority is a big step in the life of a college student. It often marks a path for the future for the stutdent. It does this through picking his close friends, influencing his thoughts and ambitions, and, in some cases, offers the stu- dent the opportunity to manifest any leadership qualities he may possess.

But whether this path and its characteristics is for the better or for the worse is up to the individual.

Good Luck ! ! !

An Asset To Pep LaGrange College's new Pep Band made its first

appearance Saturday afternoon at the Alumni-Pan- ther Basketball Game.

There were a few rough spots but in all it was a very impressive debut.

It is surprising to see the array of instruments that Dr. J. D. Anderson has mustered to fill his band.

From The Hilltop News, our compliments to Dr. Anderson and his group for having the inititive to bring to LC this type of organization. It will be a real crowd pleaser at the ball games.

Clocks Still Running Wild BY SHERRIE SEGER

Once again, the students on "The Hill" ask that something be done to set the campus clocks. For the past six weeks, the clocks have had times vary- ing as much as eight hours from the correct time. This difference in the clocks often- times causes students to be late for classes. This writer is certain that the faculty mem- bers do no* enjoy having stu- dents interrupt class discussion by coming in late.

One faculty member sug- gested that a person (perhaps a student) be delegated to check the clocks once a week to as- certain that the times are cor- rect. Any deviation would then be reported to the Maintenance Department. This person sould be one who has relatively few other responsibilities and, therefore, would be able to handle his job efficiently.

Mr. Fowler, head of the Main, tenance Department, sum. marized the difficulty in a re- cent interview. He apologized for not having the clocks fixed for Homecoming, but stated that there were too many other important things to be done . By having another person to handle this problem, Mr. Fow- ler would be free for more important responsibilities.

In talking with some of the students, this writer encount- ered many methods of express- ing opinions, but the opinions

From This End,

It Was Worth It BY DRUE LINTON

Well, Homecoming '64 is gone. It can and will be easily term- ed a success!

Making it a sue icess were three I new inovations in- Itroduced into this [year's Homecom- ling. For the first Itime the Home- looming Queen was •awarded a trophy, I substantial prizes I were awarded to float winners, and

entertainment of the highest caliber was presented at the Homecoming Dance in the form of Mr. Roy Orbison.

But, of equal importance to the success of Homecoming, we can add the excellent wea- ther we had on Saturday, an enthusiasm that was spontan- eous among students and alu- mni alike, the increased inter- est displayed by the local al- umni chapter, and we could go on and on.

We must not forget though the many hours of planning and work that many individuals put into this event. From the pre- sident of the college to the pre- sidents of the Greeks, from the members of the Student Enter- tainment Committee to the members of the classes, from the professors to the mainten- ence men, from !

It took many hours, the ma- jority of them late at night, by many people, in some cases certain individuals; then again a whole group, to make this Homecoming a success.

From this end it was very well worth it!!!

These pictures were taken in sequence from left to right. The first is the master clock which is supposed to co-ordinate the other clocks with the correct time. The next two clocks represent both sides of the clock- on the ground floor of Manget. These three pictures were all taken in a five minute time span.

The first clock on the second row is the one in the Student Center and it was taken about five min- utes after the above pictures. The next clock is on the top floor of Manget taken three minutes after the preceeding picture. The last clock is on the top floor of Manget and was taken two minutes after

(NEWS STAFF PHOTO) the clock on the first floor. were basically the same: some- thing must be done. Richard Neale, a transfer student, said that "if each person went by the campus clocks, things would be in a truly chaotic state of affairs, and classes would be interruptingly interesting."

Jim Barfield, president of the freshman class, called the situation "deplorable."

Mr. Fowler has been work- ing on the clocks, but he has had some difficulty with faulty fuses. Some of the clocks have stopped and haven't been reset while the others still run wild.

Dr. Taylor is responsible for setting the master clock in Smith, but he is not responsible for regulating the other clocks on the campus. It is clear that an effort must be made to place the responsibility on one per- son.

When asked about what will be done to correct this pro- blem, Dr. Harwell, Academic Dean, had no comment to make.

In closing, a word of cau- tion:predetermine your en- trance and exit from one "time zone" to another - you might be able to "beat the clock."

Old Stones And Bell Put In New Chapel

BY MARILYN CLEMENTS

As far back as anybody can remember, there has always been a place set aside on the campus for a chapel. It was previously in the publications offices. The little chapel of LaG range has always been held dear to the students, and trad- itionally, communion for the seniors before graduation has been held there.

The new chapel, which will be called simply "The Chapel", is a gift of The Callaway Foun- dation, Incorporated. The Trus- tees of the Foundation provided the funds.

Officials of the First Metho- dist Church in LaGrange offered materials out of their sanc- tuary which they were tearing down for the erection of their new building. The College asked for two rose windows, the stain- ed glass that will compose the six large stained glass windows of the chapel, the old brick, and the slate roof.

Orbison....Cont. Q. What was your most em-

harassing moment? A. I guess it was when I

was in Sidney, Australia. I was suppose to sing in an arena on a revolving stage. Coming down the walk, I tried to jump on the stage, and fell off.

Q. What's your rating? A. I've been rated as No.

1 in the U. S., Britain, Aus- tralia, Sweden, Ireland, and a few other countries, and No. 2 In the world.

Q. What is currently your biggest hit?

A. Right now it's "Pretty Woman". It's sold 1,250,000 in the States and 750,000 in Britain.

Q. Have your enjoyed per- forming here?

A. Oh yes, I've enjoyed it very much. I think this has been a real fine crowd.

Q. Is this the smallest sc- hool you've ever appeared at? Our enrollment is 516.

A. Well, no I've appeared at places under 5,000

Q. That's 516. A. OHMI Yes, then I guess

it really Is. Roy Orbison himself was a

very polite and generous per- son. He co-operated fully with the requests of the Student En- tertainment Committee. While talking to him, it was evident that he likes King-size cokes, Sunflower seeds, and Salem ci- garettes. Unlike most entertain- ers who are out-going, he seem- ed to be rather quiet and re- served. He is proud of his suc- cess, but not conceited.

From inside the new will be the balcony.

The chapel will seat 120 per- sons with a few others to be accommodated in a balcony. There will be an electric organ and an electronic system for the broadcast of music from the cupola.

In the cupola there will be a fine, large brass beU from one of the largest of the old steam engines of the Atlanta and West Point Railroad. It will be operated by an electro- nic devise rather than a rope.

There will be an office for the Student Christian Associa- tion, a bride's room, and rest room facilities. The ground floor houses the air condition- ing and heating system. There is no meeting room in the build- ing other than the sanctuary itself.

The chapel has three items of unusual interest. They are stones embedded in the ex- terior walls. The oldest is from the temple of Apollo in Corinth Greece, 1200 B. C. The se- cond is from the Iona Abbey located on an island just off the Western coast of Scotland. It was the first preaching place for Christianity, 400 A.D. The third stone is from Windsor Castle. Markers are with the stones.

The foyer of the chapel will have a marble floor and the aisles of the sanctuary will be carpeted. The altar and chan- cel area will be most beauti- ful.

The chapel will be used by the Student Christian Associa- tion and denominational groups for vesper programs. It wiU be open during the day also for students to engage in pri- vate devotions. The senior class will hold its traditional com- munion service there before graduation. It is anticipated that

many couples will hold their weddings here.

The contract promised com- pletion of the chapel in Janu- ary, but it now looks as though completion will be delayed. De- dication of the chapel will be on Wednesday, February 17. It will be conducted by Bishop John Owne Smith of the Metho- dist church who presides over Georgia Methodism. Other per- sons here for the dedication will be members of the Build- ing Committee of the Board of Trustees of LaGrange College.

Drama Stages

BY IRIS DUNCAN News Editor

On November 14th and 15th, the Speech and Drama Depart- ment of LaGrange College will present their fall quarter pro- duction "Death of a Salesman" by Arthur Miller.

"Death of a Salesman" is a tragedy which tells .the story of a man's failure caused by his hero worship of the. wrong kind of success. According to Dr. E stes, professor of Speech and Drama, the play isanElegy on a life that has failed and has come to its end. It is too late for reformation or for its hero, Willy Loman, to take on a new set of values. But it is not too late for the spiritual redemp- tion or the burst of heroic de- termination in defeat which con- stitutes the essence of the aus- ture art of tragedy.

It is a story of the "typical American" who loses out by try- ing too hard to win out, a play in which everyone's emotions are involved. The conflicts are our conflicts.

At the age of 63, Willy Loman is faced with the failure of his way of life, as an unwanted employee and a parent disap- pointed in ttye sons to whom he has imparted his own values.

Dr. Maxie Estes is the di- rector of the play and the cast includes three seniors, five so- phomores, and five freshmen.

Group Tragedy

The leading role, Willy Loman, is portrayed by Billy Hearn- burg. Nancy Osborne takes the role of Linda, Willy's wife. Willy's two sons are Noble Sh- ropshire as Happy and Larry Kinsman as Biff. The rest of the cast incudes Jerry Wynens, Rosemary Neely, Mark John- son, Trip McCord, Jim Bar- field, Ellen Housworth, Jack Jones, Sherrl Chadwick, and E laine Kandul.

BSU To Hold Annual Retreat

The Baptist Student Union will hold a meeting Thursday night at 7:00 P.M. in the Bailey Room of Manget to discuss plans for the Annual Rockridge Camp Retreat.

This Retreat is co-sponsor- ed by the First Baptist Church and B.S.U. It is planned for fun and fellowship for all Bap- tist students.

This year's Retreat is sc- heduled for Nov. 20-21. Reser- vation can be made at the Thur- day night meeting.

Curtis Chapman, B.S.U. Pre- sident, had this to say about the retreat, "Even during a rainy weekend last year we had a wonderful time because the facilities are adequate for any type of weather. The B.S.U. urges all Baptist Students to make plans to attend this year's Retreat."

The Knights came back and tied the game up when Ted Al- ford passed to Billy Joe Hyatt.

By half time Alford had thrown two more touchdown passes, and the Goblins had scored again. The half time score was 19-12 with Sigma Nu in front.

Pi Delt Swamps Gamma Phi 31-6

BY JOHN CARTER

Last Thursday Pi Delta Kappa won its fifth straight game. It was a decisive win over Gam. ma Phi, 31-6.

Pi Delt was again lead by Larry Horton's passing arm. The majority of the yardage was gained in the air for a total of 96 yards. Another major fac- tor that lead to the Pi Delt win was their 5 interceptions. Lord, Edgar and Menendez each made one and Mike Walters came through with 2 big interceptions to help the Pi Delt defense.

The first touchdown was scored by Pi Delt when Horton ran 7 yards for the score. The extra point was incomplete.

Gamma Phi then bounced back when James Crews hitBillEng- land on a six yard touchdown play. The extra point was no good and the score was tied 6-6.

Pi Delt was able to score one more time before the half. It came on a 10 yard pass play to Corbett for the score.

Joe Nalley's attempt for the point after touchdown was good making the score 13-6.

After the half, Pi Delt do- minated the game. They scored three touchdowns but all the extra points were incomplete.

On the kick off, Corbett re- ceived the ball and ran it back 50 yards for a touchdown. The next score came on a 20 yard pass play to Neal Morgan, This made the score 25-6. Pi Delt's last score came on a 6 yard run up the middle by Horton. This ended the game with a 31-6 decision, Pi Delt being on top.

Today Pi Delt will meet Sigma Nu for another hard hitt- ing thriller.
