SCA Installation Set For Tonight Installation for the newly elect-

ed SCA cabinet will be held in the Little Chapel tonight at 6:30.

Mary George Dean of Douglas was chosen president of the Stu- dent Christian Association in a recent campus election. Her op- ponent was Emily Mitchell of Augusta.

Other newly elected officers of the SCA are vice-president, Mari- anne Whelchel; who defeated Sylvia Cowan; secretary, Bill Griffin who won over Jere Mit- chell and Jimmy Harris; and treasurer Susan Sheppard whose opponent was Gloria Neill.

The new president has had three years of previous experience on the SCA Cabinet. She was fresh- man representative to the SCA, chairman of the recreation com- mittee her sophomore year, and

In Brief... One of the state's outstanding

young Methodist pastors, the Rev. Frank L. Robertson com- pleted a highly successful Relig- ious Emphasis Week series on the campus yesterday. Services were presented at 10 a. m. and 7 p. m.

The Rev. Mr. Robertson is pastor of the large St. Luke's Methodist church in Columbus. He holds degrees from Emory and Vale, and has done graduate study at Union Theological Semin- ary in New York.

Students on the planning com- mittee for Religious Emphasis Week were Louise Ayres, presi- dent of the SCA; Ann Kerce, Christadelphians; Orion Hunt, Ministerial Association; Ann Knight, BSU; Donnie Murphy. MSM; and Rebecca Simmons, Westminister Fellowship. Dr. Waights G. Henry, Dr. D. P. Mel- son, and Dr. Margaret Cubinc also served on the committee.

Dr. W. Vance Jackson Jr. has been named to the Board of Trustees at an executive meeting last Friday.

Dr. Jackson is a prominent La- Grange dentist. He has served as chairman of the board of the First Methodist Church and is active in civic work, including the Rotary Club. He has served in official capacities in several professional organizations.

Wayne Copeland and Wallace Brown have been named to the 1960 all-district 25 NAIA basket- ball team. The team was chosen last week by district coaches.

Only two other colleges in the district, Oglethorpe and Georgia Southern, placed more than one player for the 10-man team. Wal- lace was picked for the district squad last year.

The Athletic Banquet will be held on April 20 at 7 p. m. in the rhythm room. Whack Hyder, Georgia Tech basketball coach, will speak and letters will be giv- en to team members and cheer- leaders.

vice-president during her junior rear. Mary George has already served one quarter as president Df the SCA during the absence of Louise Ayres.

In her position as vice-president, Marianne Whelchel from Chicka- mauga will have charge of plan- ning all SCA association meetings. Marianne, a sophomore, is a member of the Kappa Phi Delta Sorority, the HillTop News, and the Choralaires.

The new secretary is a junior from Dawson. On campus Bill is active in the Ministerial As- sociation and the Choralaires. He was also recently elected sec- retary of the Men's Athletic Athletic Association.

Freshman Susan Sheppard will handle the money of the SCA. Susan is from Camilla and is a member of the Alpha Phi Beta Sorority.

When asked about plans for next year, the new president stated: "We feel that the SCA has something to offer every student and we hope to make our program broad enough to do so."

The name-change, which had been endorsed by SCA advisors and officers, was defeated by a vote of 74-73. A two-thirds ma- jority would have been required to change the organization's name to "Campus Y" or "YMCA- YWCA."

Arts Festival To Be Varied The 1960 Fine Arts Festival will

include ballet performances, a dramatic reading, concerts, re- citals, lectures, and an art exhibit.

LaGrange audiences will have their first opportunity to view a dramatic reading when Charles Jones directs Shaw's "Saint Joan" on Thursday, April 21 at 8:15 p. m. Mary Ann Wages will play Joan, with John Ficklen, Frank Hague, Jere Mitchell, and others included in the cast.

Chapel will be held on Friday

morning for the first week of the festival so that Dorothy Alexan- der, director of the Atlanta Civic Ballet, may be here to speak on "Looking at Ballet."

The ballet troupe will be pre- sented at Callaway Auditorium at 8:30 p. m. on Friday. They will perform "On Wings of Youth," "The Fickle Fishwife," "Deo Gratias," Gordon Jenkins' "Man- hattan Tower," and the "Pas de Deux" from Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker."

Christadelphians Evaluate, Elect The Christadelphian Club, meet-

ing in the Formal Parlor of Smith on April 20, will devote the meeting to the evaluation of the year's programs and efforts. At a meet- ing of the Executive Council with Dr. D. P. Melson, one of the ad- visors, on April 4, the Council decided that it would be wise to try to sum up the efforts of the year, and to see what improve- ments might be made, looking forward to the next school year.

Brief summaries of the pro- grams for each month from October to March will be given by six of the members. The mem- bers taking part are Peggy Price, Faye Buck, Leona Mad- dox, Sandra Kite, Kathryn Erwin, and Virginia Ivey, Sally Curtis, program chairman for the eve- ning, gave an over-all summary of the work for the year at the

"I believe that Shaw's "Saint Joan" is one of the finest dramas in the English language. I think that our production of "Saint Joan" will offer LaGrange theater ;oers a new kind of theatrical

experience." This is the kind of enthusiasm

Charles Jones radiates about his production of Shaw's play, which will be the lead-off event of 1960 Fine Arts Festival. The show is scheduled for 8:15 p. m. on Thurs- day, April 21 in Dobbs Auditor- ium. Mary Ann Wages will star.

Mr. Jones says of the leading character, "Joan, the maid of Lorraine, is a unique historical personality. She embodies the thrill of humanism and, at the same time, the mystic wonder of deep religious faith."

"For the production, the actors will be seated on the stage with scripts in hand, so that the audi- ence may experience the impact of Shaw's brilliant dialogue."

The production, which was prompted by work in Mr. Jones' Advanced Play Production course under Miss Irene E. Arnett, is not the first- directed by LC's ver- satile actor. He has directed an- nual performances of Stephen Vincent Benet's "A Child is Born" in Columbus, two productions of Darius Swan's "The Answers," and Herman Hagedorn's "The Bomb that Fell on America." He has also directed some of his own works, including "Instruments of Peace" at Wesleyan College and "The Christmas Conference" at Andrew College. This is his first major directing job.

Mr. Jones has been seen as Polonius in "The Merchant of Venice," Kreton in "Visit to a

At 10 a. m. on the following morning Dorothy Alexander will conduct an informal workshop in dance for interested students and faculty members.

At 4 p. m. on Sunday, April 24, the LaGrange College-Community Orchestra will play their second annual concert under the direction of Prof. Albert Stoutamire.

Two operatic performances will be given on Thursday, April 28, at 8:15 p. m. by students of the Fine Arts department. Claire Walker and Wayne Hilliard, sophomore music majors, will be heard in Gian Carlo Menotti's "The Telephone." Pat McGuire (Mimi), Richard Williams (Ru- dolph), Charles Jones (Marcel), and Martha Green (Musetta) will sing the principal roles in the third act of Puccini's "La Bo- heme." The production is under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Gilbert with dramatic supervision by Miss Irene E. Arnett.

The annual step-singing com- petition among fraternities and sororities will be held at 6 p. m. on Friday, April 29.

The concluding event of the festival will be the Recital of

The previous summer was spent with the Plymouth Drama Festival in Plymouth, Mass. He played in the LaGrange Theater Guild produc- tion of "Outward Bound" last year.

Miss Wages, a junior from Winder, was applauded last week for her performance as the char- woman in "Anastasia." She has been seen as Ellen in "Visit to a Small Planet," Miep in "The Diary of Anne Frank," and in "Teach Me How to Cry." She will be playing in the Barter Theater Company in Abingdon, Virginia, this summer.

John Ficklen, cast as Charles, the uncrowned king of France, will make his first stage ■ appear- ance at LaGrange College in the upcoming production. Fred Mc- Brayer, fresh from a role in "Anastasia," will be seen as the inquisitor.

Other cast members will be Jere Mitchell as the page, Frank Hague as Dunois, Larry Thomas as the steward and a soldier, Suzanne Collier as the Dutchess. Renfroe Watson as LaHire and D'estivet, Bill Griffin as the gentleman of 1920, John Reed as Bluebeard and Courcelles, Sherrill Penn as Warwick, Andy Owen as Ladvenu, and Lloyd Bryant as de Poulengey and John de Sto- gumber.

The music and sound will be done by Ray Barfield, with orig- inal flute music played by Libby Coleman. Al Bush is in charge of

Nursing Careers Discussed Here Miss Cynthia Mallory, assistant

professor in the Emory University School of Nursing, will be on the LaGrange College campus tomor- row to discuss opportunities in careers in nursing with students. ■ "Because of the great need for qualified nurses, we conduct a program each year to inform young people about the jobs avail- able in the field. Nursing is an important career for them to con- sider in choosing their life's work," says Miss Ada Fort, nurs- ing school dean.

"Areas of service in the profes- sion are rapidly expanding, such as in child health and geriatrics and in mental health and medical and surgical nursing, and our cur- riculum is constantly adapted to meet current needs," the dean added.

The Emory School of nursing is a collegiate school, offering a four-year program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing. The program includes both general education and pro- fessional training, and prepares the student for administrative positions, as well as for bed-side nursing.

Student Dismissed For Exam Cheating A young woman student was dis-

missed from college this week be- cause of recent dishonesty on an examination.

The action was taken by Dean J. C. Bailey upon the recommen- dation of a committee composed of the college president, the dean, the dean of women and the presi- dent of the Student Government.

Prior to arriving at a decision the committee sat in consulation with the instructor of the class involved and with the student.

PAGE TWO THE HILL-TOP NEWS APRIL 14, 1960

The Golden Hour Ask any official of any college or university

what the major recurring problems of his institution are. Invariably, "chapel" will be included in his reply. This is a sore spot for which few schools have found any healing balm to soothe student dissatisfaction.

It seems that chapel, as an institution of the educational institution, is as stable a part of the col- lege program as English lit and Old Testament. But an institution such as chapel cannot stand long unless it has a decidedly beneficial influence on the campus.

Chapel is both the utopia and the grab-bag of the college program. Ideally, chapel services can be highlights of the learning experience. They can broaden concepts of and benefits from a liberal arts education.

The involuntarily faithful Thursday morning audience has shared in many exciting chapel experi- ences. Sammy Clark's recent "Death of a Salesman" program has set many students to thinking about the effectiveness chapel can have. The performance of a Mozart violin concerto by Dr. Kovar and Prof. Westafer last year was thrilling. Some speakers, in- cluding the Rev. Bevel Jones, the Rev. William R. Jones, and Prof. Ezra Sellers, have delighted chapel audiences.

Many times, however, boredom blankets the auditorium and a nasty case of indifference sets in. Chapel becomes, as more than one LaGrange College proiessor has said, "the most wasted hour of the week." Chapel is, at those times, for the birds. Stu- dents sit back and dream of better chapel days while the faculty section is hushed with a horrified silence.

The editors of the Hill-Top News, after consid- eration of current and strong student opinion, ad- vocate the establishing of a student or student- faculty chapel committee. These committee members would contact prospective speakers, choose topics, plan student chapel programs, and generally take charge of the chapel hour. The committee would ideally include the college president, the dean of the chapel, a faculty representative, the head of the news service, the Student Council president, the SCA presi- dent, and representatives from at least two of the student publications.

It is felt that if this committee can be set up, chapel Will become, along with oft-desired "silence" and quiet, one of the "golden" items of the college experience.

Buy Your Ticket The annual Fine Arts Festival begins this year

on April 21 with a unique dramatic reading of George Bernard Shaw's "Saint Joan." The visit of the At- lanta Civic Ballet and the performance of Menotti's "The Telephone" and the third act of Puccini's "La Boheme" will highlight the festival. An exhibi- tion of the works of art professors Ezra Sellers and Jarrell Hethcox will hand for part of the two week period. Students will perform in the College Commun- ity Orchestra concert, the recital of American music, and the step-singing.

Students, professors, and visiting performers have put in many hours of work in order to perfect their parts in this festival. Their combined talents make an impressive slate for this year's program.

The sad part of the picture is that attendance for events such as these in the past has frequently ranged from fair to shameful. Instead of boosting the efforts of those who have worked to give pleasure and aesthethic satisfaction to us, we have by-passed them as unworthy of our attention and support.

It is our hope that the picture will be changed this year and that this vital part of our liberal arts education will not be neglected. To miss these events which have been made so convenient to us would be comparable to never cashing a check which has been presented as a gift. These artists have given us their time and abilities. We will not want to short- change them or ourselves.

The price of a ticket to the events of the Fine Arts Festival is very small. The little effort of dressing up and attending these events will be re- warded many times over. Let's support the Fine Arts Festival.

feather. Bird seed, bird houses, bird baths, and so forth decorated the campus, but the birds must have sensed some hostility be-

I cause few of them took a chance to visit the modern facilities avail- 'able. The vigilant guardian of the gourd tree was so insulted that he died of heartburn on the second Iday of his life. It is presumed by the more presumptuous people on the campus that his soul has gone north for the warmer wea- ther.

The Student Council and the other students rejoiced. Retiring council members breathed easier than they had since this time last year. A citizen of LaGrange christ- ened the hill as "the holy hump." Jimmy Trice, Ed Nelson, Jerry Carden, and Buddy Grimes went to an early grave. Anastasia's house came down like the fall of Russian royalty on Saturday. The spring weather had enough sur- prises in store to be able to suf- ficiently soak students and text- books. Telescopes and binoculars which had been trained on dormi- tories were momentarily diverted until someone decided "This is for the birds."

Things were sort of confusing in the halls of Smith Friday night. The titles were the same but the names were different: Dean of Women, Dr. Henry; Registrar, Mr. Cook; President, Mrs. Tal- bott; Dean, Dr. Taylor; Business Mgr., Mr. Bailey.

Mrs. Mary Key Ferrell, lectur- ing on Gerard Manley Hopkins' "The Windhover" in her Modern Poetry course: "I can see that I'm at a disadvantage here be- cause I'm not a birdwatcher and I've never been a bird."

he was materially blessed, Or- villes fortunes suffered an early decline. First of all. his grand- father was killed while working on a unheard-of invention to be known as the "flying machine." Secondly, Orville made himself very popular with one of his pro- fessors, a Dr. Bob White, by daily answering the roll-call in bird calls. Neither of these brought our hero to his sad end, however.

Disaster came because of Or- ville's wealth. When he was a freshman in college, you see, Or- ville decided that the fastest way to make a hit on campus was to start a "Coke fund " Sensing that his fellow students always had niekles but never pennies, he had all of his first week's allowance ($500) turned into pennies. He then announced to his bretheren that they were welcome to come by and pick up the much-needed copper coins as they needed them. Well, in two days the $500 worth of pennies had been used up. The popularity campaign was go- ing well, however, and the effort seemed well justified.

Orville asked for an advance on his weekly allowance and soon the lines formed at his door again. But something new had been add- ed. Alongside the now-familiar "Pennies for the Penniless" sign was a new one. "Renew your tat- too" the sign begged. Visitors found to their delight that the gen- erous Orville had not gone into profit-making at all, but that his was his modest way of announ- ing that free popularity-promo- ting packs of Marlboros were available.

November arrived and a number of other signs had joined the ori- ginal ones outside the philanthro- pist's door. Among them was "Stick with us," which was real-

Flood Lights By Prof. Kovar

Bernard Shaw once said that lo be good on any job is to treat it as a matter-of life or death. The Curtain Raisers presented on the 8th and the 9th of April Mar- celle Maurette's "Anastasia" with Pat McGuire as Anastasia. When the audience forgets to hide its emotion that is the right time to say that the job became for he actors a matter of life or death. It is to be said that the presen- tation of Anastasia was (to my recollection) the most convincing production, of the Curtain Raisers. The actors as a body tried zeal- ously to carry out the author's intention to re-incarnate the mys- terious resurrection of Anastasia. the most controversial figure of one of history's greatest dramas.

Pat McGuire had a difficult task to fulfill, a task which in the hands of an unexperienced actress could have melted into its elemen- tary components. However, Pat McGuire presented with sensitive passion and a strong feeling for the grandeur of the role a docu- ment of her great ability to act and to piece together the elemen- tary components of two different lives, that of Anna and that of Anastasia, into the realm of her own world, the world of imagin- ation and reality at the same time. The metamorphosis of her double character revealed a superior command of her acting. Luanne Hays as Dowager Empress was as ease with the complex situ- ation of the play and her excel- lent performance was a great tri- bute to the success of the scenes between Anastasia and the Em- press. Luanne Hayes presented with the most convincing dignity and calm the inner struggle in search for the truth of her life, putting every ounce of emotion into the play. Prince Bounine's (Portrayed by Lloyd > Bryant) characterization of human cyni- cism and Patrovin's (Renfroe Wat- son) philosophy imposed by cir- cumstances of dispair and hope had all the flavoring on which the digestibility depends. The dia- logues between the Empress and Prince Bounine on the one hand, and Bounine and Prince Paul (ex- cellently portrayed by Larry Thomas) on the other, revealed a contrasting drama of human in- terest and conflict of characters. In contrast with the tradegy Char- les Jones gave his own interpre- tation of Chernov and turned the serious concern of Prince Bou- nine into an extravaganza and showed again the potential to por- tray characters in contrast to Shavian aristocrats. What a pity that Baroness Livenbaum (Gail Woodruff) and Chernov have not been (in the play) officially in- troduced, they probably would have danced about the stage, spouting bits from all parts with folded arms and turning serious dialogues into amusing quips.

No play would be a success without good supporting actors and actresses. Dr. Serensky (Ed Nelson), Counsellor Drivintz (Al ly a come-on for free chewing

Cubine Takes NABI Post Dr Margaret Cubine is the new

secretary of the Southern Section of the National Association of Biblical Instructors. She was elect- ed to the post at a recent meeting of the organization in Nashville, Tennessee.

The well-liked teacher, herself a graduate of LC, has served on the faculties of Aurora College, Illinois, and Huntingdon College, Alabama before returning to her alma mater in 1955. Among her more popular courses on the hill are child psychology, worship, psychology of religion, survey of the New Testament, and fresh- man and sophomore English cour- ses.

In addition to her teaching, Dr. Cubine is an advisor to the SCA.

She was recently honored by the dedication of the last Scroll issue.

Large Crowd For May Day One of the largest crowds of

visitors to the campus is expected on May 7, when May Day, Par- ents' Day and Alumni Day acti- vities will be combined for the first time.

The day's events will feature a musical program, a "bring your own" picnic lunch to be spread on the Quadrangle, the annual meet- ing of the LaGrange College Alum- ni Association, the May Day Pro- gram and crowning of the Queen of the May, and the May Day dance in the evening.

Alumni Day has traditionally been the Saturday before June graduation, but that day's pro- gram has been combined with May Day in order to bring more alumni to the campus for the fel- lowship and May Day program, according to Mr. Alan Thomas, alumni director.

Women's and Men's athletic As- sociations are working with the Alumni Council in planning the day's activities. The Pan-Hellenic Council is making arrangements for the May Day dance.

"We are looking forward," said WAA president Mavis Sprayberry, 'to have a large percentage of our alumni and parents being on cam- pus May 7. Every student can help us by personally inviting his parents and all former students."

"It will take the cooperation of every student and every faculty and staff member to make the day a success," Miss Sprayberry and Mr. Thomas agreed.

hind him from out of the Turner i showers. Jimmy was gratified to learn that they had been there for purposes of upkeep, not per- sonal cleanliness.

Tom Powers has worked out a unique communications system for the campus. His simplified explan- ation of its complicated workings is: "Telephone, telegraph, tell Val- orie!"

As strange as it may seem, La Grange College at one time was upheld by a man who simultan- eously presided over another small college. The year was 1866; the man, Ichabod F Cox, a capable man in every respect.

Due to the sudden death of President Armstrong, LaGrange Female Academy was in urgent need of someone to fill his shoes. Since the Southern Female Col- lege, a Baptist school, was in close proximity and blessed with an able president, the Academy shared his services for three years.

Pres. Cox organized a program wherein the LaGrange students were provided with courses at Southern Female and vice-versa. In this way, the Methodists de- veloped a close communion with the Baptists and other denomi- nations.

The Southern Female College occupied the second highest ele- vation in town, LaGrange Fe- rn a 1 e Academy occupying the highest, and was located between the present Hill and Greenville streets. A quick hike brought girls to and from classes, accom- panied by chaperones, of course.

In 1869, Morgan Callaway be- came the President of the Acade- my and Pres. Cox returned to full time administration at Southern.

However, Pres. Cox had no easy task, for his college had suf- fered great damage during the Civil War. The buildings used for hospitalization of Confederate sol- diers were totally destroyed by fire. Consequently, he began re- construction two years later, but only lived to see a portion of his dream materialize. For he passed away in 1887.

Through a man who sacrificed leisure to save a college not his own we realize that it is not im- portant how great or small our contribution appears to the other man, but the thrill of self-satisfac- tion in stooping unselfishly to aid the fallen.

Claire Walker almost lost her ■ job as reville chairman when she turned over in bed one morning, saw the clock's hand pointing at half past the hour, and proceeded to wake everyone on the wing. It turned out that the time was not the appointed 7:30 at all, but a frightful 6:30.

WAA-MAA Heads Set For '60-'61

By Marianne Whelchel Officers to direct the WAA and

MAA for the coming year were selected last week in a campus election. Ann Knight of Jessup and Jerry Carden of Phenix City, Ala are the new presidents of the organizations.

Other officers of the WAA are Suzanne Cooper, Athens, Tenn- essee, vice president; Joyce Lynch, Lumpkin, secretary; and Ann Westbrook, Lumpkin, treasur- er.

Other MAA officers are Orion Hunt, Cordele, vice president; Bill Griffin, Dawson, secretary; and Charles Roquemore, Forsyth, trea- surer.

Active at LC, Ann, the new WAA president is the art editor of the Quadrangle, president of the junior class, and vice presi- dent of Alpha Kappa Theta soro- rity. She has served this year as junior class representative to the WAA.

Jerry, MAA president, has let- tered for two years with the Pan- thers. At present he is a member of the college tennis team. He is also a member of Sigma Nu Pi fraternity.

SGA And Circle K Give Assembly Friday

A busy student assembly period at 10 a. m. last Friday saw the installation of a new Student Government council and the tap- ping of seven new members for Circle K.

Carolyn Babb ended her event- ful year as SGA president by swearing the new council mem- bers into office, after a brief statement. Ann Gower, a native of LaGrange who chooses to live on the hill, ended the swearing-in ceremony by making a short ad- dress, asking the cooperation of the student body and promising that her council will do the best

possible job in the coming year. Charles Jones took charge of

the Circle K part of the assembly. After he explained the work and significance of the Kiwanis-spon- sored honor group. Circle K mem- bers tapped Ray Barfield, Andy Borders, Buddy Grimes, Jimmy Harris, Ed Nelson, Jimmy Nor- red, and Tom Powers. These new 'members were selected for lead- ership ability, promise of future service to the college, and above- average scholarship. All new members must be accepted by a unanimous vote of Circle K before tapping.

Libby Carlock was named 1960- '61 Sweetheart of Circle K at the assembly. Carolyn Babb, retiring from that office, tapped Miss Carlock and the new sweetheart was presented with a large bou- quet of flowers.

The proposed amendment to the SGA Constitution that the Hill-Top News editor will be an honorary member of the Student Council was approved by those present, 76-19.

Ray Barfield, editor of the pub- lication, said, "This acceptance of the work of the Hill-Top News and faith in what we are attempting to do is very gratifying. I believe that this will increase the effec- tiveness of the newspaper and enable us to do a better job. After all, part of each student's activity fee goes to the paper. Each stu- dent's "yes" vote means that he will get a better return on the investment. Finally, common sense will show that the Hill-Top News cannot do its job of keeping the campus informed if its editor i cannot know what is going on in the Student Council."

Campus Poll

by Sarah Killiam Do you think LaGrange College

should become a bird sanctuary and why?

Smut Williams: Yes, because we have so many birds to watch.

Carolyn Babb: Yes, because we have so many rare birds.

Buddy Grimes: It's according to what kind of bird you want to be—a goony bird?

Suzanne Cooper: Yes, I think each student should take it upon himself to acquire a birdhouse^ and put it in some likely tree.

Bob Van Landingham: We don't need any more birds up here, we have enough already.

Wayne Copeland: Sure, the place is for the birds anyway.
