Pre-registration For Winter Quarter Comes Off Well

Pre-registration for Winter Quarter was held on November 27, 28, and 29. The registration was for LaGrange College stu- dents who were in attendance Fall Quarter.

Dr. C. Lee Harwell, Academic Dean, said that this year's regis- tration process was an improve- ment over last year's process. The registration .was divided into three steps: First, the student went to the Bailey room to fill out registration cards. Second, the students went to their advisors to determine their courses for the quarter. Last, the courses were recorded in Manget 204 and phy- sical education classes were as- signed.

All students agreed that this year's registration was much quicker and easier. Dr. Harwell is in hopes that the process will become easier and easier with the coming of quarters.

As we enter the Christmas sea- son from nearly every lip there falls a familiar carol, and this reminds us that caroling itself is one of the oldest folk customs still enjoyed in this sacred time. Per- haps it would be interesting to look at some of the various ways in which countries can try out this custom of caroling.

SGA Council To Present Resolution To Student Body At 10 Tues. In Dobbs

"WHEREAS, We, the students of LaGrange College, realize the need for great leaders in the State of Georgia, both now and in the future; and

WHEREAS, We realize that for this need to be met, educational opportunities and facilities need vast improvement;

and WHEREAS, We realize that

this improvement can come only at increased expense which will afford larger salaries for more and better professors and teach- ers and will provide better phys- ical plants and services;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT

RESOLVED, That we do hereby oppose the law providing scho- larship grants to students attend- ing private schools and request that these badly needed funds be used to bring about the desired ends."

The law mentioned in the reso- lution is a Georgia law which provides scholarship grants for students to attend private schools when they do not want to attend integrated state schools, accord- ing to Andy Owen, president of the SGA. This law, Andy said, is taking needed funds away from the state schools.

Why Doesn't LaGrange Serve Sack Suppers?

By PAUL KENDALL Editor

In an interview, Mr. Austin Cook, the business manager, list- ed several reasons why the col- lege does not serve a sack supper on Sunday night.

When the college served sack suppers before, Mr. Cook said, most students would eat the sup- pers in the middle of the after- noon, or, if they didn't like the contents of the sacks, they would throw them away, sometimes on the lawn. The college also tried serving regular suppers and cold or salad plates on Sunday night, but, Mr. Cook stated, a lot of the students who were signed up for supper did not show up.

Mr. Cook also stated that La- Grange has not served supper on Sunday nights for the last two years and that the schools which do are in the minority.

The kitchen help works frorn 5:45 a. m. until 6:30 or 7:00 p. m. on week days and, even on rota- tion, they get off one full Sunday every 6 or 7 weeks. Mr. Cook stated that he felt that the kit- chen help is entitled to attend their own worship services on Sunday night. When the college

did serve sack suppers, it took the help as long to make up the sack suppers and pack them as it took to prepare a regular meal, according to the dietitian.

About the food that the kitch- en help take home at night, Mr. Cook said that their contracts in- clude a certain amount of cash, plus three meals a day. The food that the help take home is their supper.

When asked what would be the cost of serving sack suppers, Mr. Cook replied that the cost would depend on three items — labor, the paper bags and the paper to wrap sandwiches, and the food, which would vary in cost accord- ing to what was served. Mr. Cook added that since some kinds of meat need to be refrigerated to stay fresh the menu would be limited.

Students who do not have cars might persuade some of the drug stores or drive-ins to deliver a large order of food to the dorms. Some drug stores and drive-ins have done this in the past, he said.

When the new dining hall is completed and the book store moves into the present dining hall, the Johnston and Malone Book Store may add a snack bar which will stay open on Sunday nights.

GOTTA' MINUTE? Do Something About It!

The word "value" has many different meanings. Mr. Webster gives it fourteen different interpretations, one of which states that it is the "quality or fact of being excellent, useful, or desirable; worth in a thing." Therefore, a person's values are those things which he holds highly, even to the point of excellence.

A man may be measured, usually quite accurately, by those things upon which he places great value. Some of us value a good name, popularity, money, influence, friends, material wealth, talent, intelligence, beauty, poise, courage, honesty, courtesy, race, or maybe life itself.

All of these things — and there are many others — have certain values. Some are good, and some are not so good. There are those of us who would place great value on one and no value on something else — this is only natural.

But let us compare our values with those of someone whose per- sonal ideas have permeated the centuries with ever-growing influ- ence. Jesus placed values on the individual — not on the "righteous- ness" nor "sinfulness" of someone — but on the potential worth of that person as a WHOLE person.

Jesus, unlike many who have professed goodness or greatness, was able to look deeply within the spirit of humanity. He valued life because it was the gift of the Heavenly Father. His eyes could see both the weakness of Peter in the coming denial while also recog- nizing the rock upon which he would build the Church!

Where are our values? Do we find that we are tied up with un- important things? Is it possible to restate our values?

These are questions which can only be answered by actions. The students of LaGrange College, as a part of humanity, need to look at values — not with the eye of complacency, but with an eye ready to see imperfection and a heart and mind determined to do some- thing about it!

NEWS STUMP By RICHARD CARLTON

All the world is again in an uproar. Russia now says that she is no longer interested in a nuc- lear test ban, with or without international checks. The future for many smaller countries seems uncertain.

We're all glad to see that Am- ericans are so individual that they rate so much space in newspa- pers and magazines. If Junior is not playing with some toys from DeGaulle, then Caroline is having a birthday party. Some people even have their hair cut and combed in such a way as to cause a statewide interest story. They print such ridiculous nonesense as this while a young man waits in jail for 14 months waiting for trial; the inevitable sentence of one year will be given, which the judge has said the young man has already served. His alleged com- patriots have finished their terms, but this man has never had his trial. It is a shame America does not wake up to herself and

There'll Be Some Changes Made

By PAT LANHAM The song entitled "There'll Be

Some Changes Made", could well be an appropriate one this time of year at L. C. As the end of fall quarter draws near, the "old" students know what winter quar- ter has in store for them; but the "new" students had better pre- pare for some rather drastic changes.

Perhaps the biggest difference in life here at L. C. winter quar- ter will be found in a combina- tion of two things — the first be- ing a change in the students' outlook on their academic status. Not only will the courses be rougher but there will also be more students on probation, whi- ch usually leads to a little more "serious-minded" study.

These added hours of stury au- tomatically lead to the second part of the combination — there'll be a change in social activities. All the signs of "party-fever" slowly fade away as "rush" for 1961 becomes a part of L. C. his- tory. However, basketball season goes into full swing and will pro- vide some degree of social life in winter quarter.

Another big change will be found in the weather. Last year L. C. endured not only frequent snowflakes but also a couple of severe ice storms. February and March will doubtless bring the same this quarter. Quite a change from the pleasant weather this fall quarter, which made it pos- sible for the students to gather on the quadrangle almost every evening!

CEDAR GROVE SID SAYS:

That old Christmas spirit is in the air once agin. May we all un- derstand better the reson fer cel- ebrating this event ev'ry year. Maybee Christmas was started so's we could celebrate somebo- dy's burthday, but evun so, joy is the note for the season. Not all peoples have Christmas the same way. Some have a Santa Claus; some have a tree all deckerated; but still no one can describe this season.

This is one time of the year that people really try ta go outa their way fer others. There's a beautiful story behind Christmas, at least fer the reason of its be- ing. Its said someone gave his mo- st cherished possession to others 'cuz he loved them. I like that sto- ry, so's I'm gonna believe in it and celebrate Christmas by giv- ing my most cherished possession —LOVE. I hope you'll try the same, 'cuz it's funny what a little love and understanding'can do fer others. By the way, have a Mer- ry Christmas, and may your eyes see visions never befer seen by men.

Society Editor's Corner By JENNIFER GLASS

For Girls Only - - At the first of Fall Quarter, a

Wardrobe Planning Class began meeting here on the LaGrange College Campus in the Simpson Room. This class was taught by Mrs. Dixie Patton of Atlanta, in cooperation with the State De- partment.

Each meeting was devoted to some phase of wardrobe plan- ning. This included how to dress, the style for the individual, makeup and how to apply it, col- or combinations, etc. The class members helped one another by deciding the correct color combi- nations. The class met once each week for two hours, and lasted for eight weeks.

Many girls were not able to take advantage of this course be- cause of conflicting activities. Now a remedy has been provided for this problem. In the spring, another such class will be taught. Those interested are to enroll in January. Further notice will be given as to the time and place. Each interested girl is asked to take advantage of this wonderful opportunty.

Society On Campus Last weekend seemed to be the

weekend as far as social events went. The weekend before exams everyone was trying to squeeze in as many festive occasions as

possible. Maybe it was to cheer people up for finals! At any rate, it did the trick.

Saturday night, the Student Christian Association held a dan- ce in the gym for the purpose of collecting toys for underprivileg- ed children's Christmas presents. This was in connection with a Christmas project. The only ad- mission charge was the presen- tation of a toy at the door. Sted- die Glisson, social chairman, was in charge. One switch which ma- de this dance interesting and dif- ferent was the girls' asking the boys.

The Alpha Kappa Theta sorori- ty held a banquet Sunday night, December 3, at the Colonial Ho- tel. This was a Christmas affair, with seasonal decorations used for the motif. During the evening, the most outstanding Alpha Kap- pa Theta was selected for Fall Quarter. The winning of this ti- tle is based on general participa- tion for the sorority. Betty Jones was the recipient for Spring Quarter 1961.

Upon winning first and second place in Girls' Intramurals for Fall Quarter (volley ball), the Kappa Phi Delta's celebrated by having a combined meeting-party in the Simpson Room of the Gym Monday night, with Melanie Moore, president, presiding. A program of various talent follow- ed the business session, with a visit from Santa Claus climaxing the occasion.

District Band Clinic To Be Held Here

On January 12 and 13 this dis- trict's Band Clinic will' be held on the LaGrange College campus. Approximately 30 high schools will be represented by about 125 students selected by each school's band director. A special director will be hired to direct the band.

The band will rehearse in the gymnasium, but the place of per- formance is yet to be announced. On Friday night the college will host a dance for the band and the band will perform on Saturday night.

This is the first of a series of festivals and clinics to be held at LaGrange College. Each year the school will host some vocal or in- strumental group from our dis- trict.

in the priest's arms. Then, in a procession, all the attendants march to a grotto, where he lays the figure in the 'Crusader's Crib' (which is made of stones brought from Bethlehem by the Crusaders). Everyone kneels a- round the manger and they sing together an old carol, a lullaby to the Christ Child.

"Christmas carols in Poland are called kolendy. On Christmas Eve members of the family join hands, walk around their lighted trees, and sing together. They repeat this each evening until Epiphany, and, in some places, until Candle- mas.

"The children of Scandinavian lands have a special candlelight service at four P. M. on Christmas Eve in their churches. There they sipg Christmas carols which have been handed down for genera- tions. When their singing ends, the boys and girls receive a treat of fruits and candies. That even- ing, at their homes, the children join with their elders in singing dance carols around the trees.

"Bringing in the Yule log in Britain was always the occasion for caroling. Each member sat down on it and sang a song, be- fore the great brand was placed in the wide fireplace. Singing Yule music was the custom, too, when the steaming bowl of was- sail was passed from one person to another."

As Americans, we, too, lift our voices in carols. Near Christmas Eve you may hear youth groups piercing the cold night with their

Preliminary Study Made Of Records Of LC Graduates

LaGrange College has recently completed a preliminary study of records of LC graduates in grad- uate and/or professional schools.

This report covers a period of six years, which includes the years 1956 through 1961. The re- sults of the study thus far point out that approximately 28% of the graduates of these six years have enrolled in graduate and/or professional schools.

Dean C. Lee Harwell summed up the results of this average by saying, "I think this is a very high percentage. It is an excell- ent showing compared to other .-.chools in this region and would compare favorably with the na- tional average."

Although it was not compul- sory, the administration compiled this preliminary report and pre- sented it to the Self-Study Com- mittee which visited the campus during October.

At the present the reriort is noi complete, but plans are under way to continue the project.

ringing tones, while singing be- neath hospital windows or on the porches of shut-ins. Or perhaps, while walking along a sidewalk, you may pass a home where the family is gathered around the piano to sing as their ten-year- old plays slowly her first learned hymn, "Silent Night."

(The quotations are from May- mie R. Kythe's book ALL ABOUT CHRISTMAS.)

Handel's "Messiah." The Samuel C. Dobbs Auditorium was com- pletely filled by an appreciative audience, illustrating once more the magnetism of this immortal religious classic. The director of the Choralaires, Professor Walter Westafer, revealed unusual abili- ty to inspire the members of the chorus to render an exceptional performance. The chorus was es- pecially uplifting with "For Unto Us a Child Is Born" and the fam- ed "Hallelujah Chorus."

Soloists for the occasion were soprano Claire Bowles, mezzo- soprano Carlene Hamilton, tenor Fred Allen, and bass-baritone Os- mos Lanier Jr. Credit goes to each soloist for a splendid rendition. While one hesitates to single out a particular solo, this reviewer was blessed by the soprano solo, "Come Unto Him."

Accompanists Elizabeth Cole- man and David Heck are to be congratulated for their able and mature support and performance. The use of two pianos for the cho- rus gave body and depth to the music.

The "Messiah" continues to ex- press for man a longing and yearning which words are inade- quate to describe and music is un- able to fathom, but when the words of the Holy Scripture are blended with the soul-music of Handel, the proper and only re- sponse is, "Hallelujah! for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth." This is a fitting introduction to the season of Advent and Christ- mas for all who would permit the Babe in Bethlehem's manger to become the Central Personality at Christmastime.

Thank you Choralaires, each and all, for the hours and hours of rehearsal that brought to us a blessing in the form of an old, old story that is forever new — the love of God for man revealed in Christ, the Lord.

PANTHER TRACKS.... Gamma Phi Alpha - Kappa Phi Delta Win Fall Intramurals Chmpionship

By JOHN G1PSON Sptfrts Editor

With the end of the quarter close at hand, intramurals begin coming to a close. The girls vol- ley ball has already been com- pleted with Kappa Phi taking the first two places. Both the red and the black team had an undefeat- ed season with most of the games being a little one-sided toward the Kappa Phis. The participa- tion of the girls in the ball games was better than ever before and all of the teams had tremendous support.

Even though there is one game left in the season, the Gamma Phis have already taken first pla- ce. They have won 5 games while losing 3 and tying 2. The game which ended their season and copped the championship, was played with Pi Delt on the 28th. It was a hard-fought game and could have belonged to either team very easily, but the Gob- lins took advantage of a pass in- terception early in the game, by Bob Bailey. On the next play Westmoreland flipped one to Bolton who hustled into the end zone for 6. The PAT was made by Bailey, who snagged one in the

scholarships and financial aid of- fered by different colleges. In a 1961-62 Statement of Agreement, the thirty-nine colleges that are members of this group stated that they "are united in the conviction that their financial aid programs exist to make possible a college education for qualified students regardless of their economic cir- cumstances. This organization seeks to achieve greater uniform- ity and equity in the allocation of financial aid funds, and great- er public understanding of the policies and procedures of the colleges."

Students at LaGrange who are interested in applying for scho- larships under this new program should see Dr. Taylor or Mr. Jack Henderson.

Living Endowment

Students have been hearing a- bout the Living Endowment Fund, sponsored by the LaGrange College Alumni Association, of which Mrs. T. Scott Avary is president. Thus far there has been a total of $1,476 contributed by 110 persons — an average gift of $13.30 per contributor. These fig- ures per contributor are approxi- mately the same as those of Wes- leyan, Shorter, Oglethorpe, and Berry colleges. The main differ- ence is that a higher percentage of alumni of the aforementioned colleges contribute.

The total contribution for last year at the concurrent time was $1,118 — $358 less than this year. These figures sound good until one realizes the number of La- Grange College alumni in com- parison to the number of contrib- utors.

In view of these observations, LaGrange College alumni must awaken to the benefits derived from their education at LaGrange College and in return say, "Thank you," by way of contributions to the Living Endowment Fund. Not until the alumni awaken to re- alize the support they can give monetarily, will anyone else be interested in giving.

The Living Endowment Fund helps now as well as later.
