VOLUME XII, NO. 2^" LAGRANGE COLLEGE, LA GRANGE, GEORGIA 30240 MAY 29, 1970

Class of 70 — Largest Ever At LC

Shown is the architect's drawing of the new science teaching and research facility which will be constructed beside the chapel.

Construcfion to Begin on Science Center LaG range College trustees,

administrators, professors, alumni, and students shoveled dirt from the cite of the college's new $1 million science center during recent groundbreaking ceremonies.

Dr. Waights G. Henry told the campus gathering that it is appropriate that the instruction and research facility be built next to the college chapel and in line with the library.

He explained that science is the handmaiden of religion, and the science building which will stand next to the chapel ''Symbolizes our acknowledgement that this is God's universe."

The LC president added that both science and religion must be supported and substantiated by what we learn from all other areas of knowledge — the

humanities, the social sciences and the fine arts, which are symbolized by the neighboring library.

Construction of LaGrange College's new science and math building will begin shortly. The contract has been awarded to Conner Brothers Construction Company of Aubum, Ala., which submitted the low base bid of $805,800. Equipment and various fees will bring the total cost of the teaching and research facility to almost $1 million.

A three-story contemporary building with a suggestion of traditional styling, the science center will be constructed on the southeast corner of the campus over what is the main drive from Vernon Street.

The new facility will alleviate the crowded conditions of instructing an increasing number

of LC students preparing for medical, paramedical, mathematics, and other scientific professions.

The building will contain six classrooms, a large lecture hall, 11 laboratories 18 offices, three supply rooms, an animal room, restrooms, and miscellaneous storage and mechanical rooms. It will be air-conditioned and have a freight elevator.

The new construction also will include parking spaces for 16 automobiles.

Biggers, Scarbrough, Neal, Crisp, and Clark, Architects and Engineers, of Columbus designed the science center, the second facility constructed under the "Margin of Distinction" development program.

On June 6 at ten-thirty a.m. in the morning, graduation exercises will begin in the gymnasium for the largest class ever at LaGrange College. The principal address at the 139th commencement will be William R. Bowdoin, Atlanta banker and state government efficiency expert.

According to Dr. Henry, "Mr. Bowdoin has been highly praised for his interest in Christian higher education and for his concern for a more efficient state government in Georgia. We are proud that he will be our commencement speaker."

Mr. Bowdoin is vice chairman of the board and a director of the Trust Company of Georgia. He also served as chairman of the Governor's Commission for Efficiency and Improvement in Government during 1963-67, and in various other positions during the administrations of Governors Herman Talmadge and Ernest Vandiver.

He is a graduate of the University of Georgia.

A total of 128 seniors will be receiving degrees at this year's commencement. According to major fields of study, they are as follows:

Social Work: Charles William Alvord, Jimmy Gordon Bailey,

Trustees Elect New Chairman

Publications appointments announced Appointments for the year

1970-71 to the paid staff positions of campus publications were announced today by Dr. John V. Myers, chairman of the Subcommittee on Publications:

For THE HILLTOP NEWS, Editor: Rebecca Sherrill and Business Manager; William A. Sanders.

For THE QUADRANGLE, Editor: Doris Anthony, Business Manager: Susan Montgomery, and Photographer: John K. Schellack, Jr.

Re-elected to head THE SCROLL was Carol Vaughn.

On behalf of the committee. Dr. Myers expressed appreciation for the interest shown by all the applicants, and the hope that those not appointed will make their talents available to the new editors.

Acting on a suggestion of Miss Janice Pratt, the committee has abolished the post of Associate Editor of the HILLTOP NEWS and replaced it with a staff of three assistant editors: News Editor, Features Editor, and Sports Editor.

Each of these positions will be paid one-third of the amount received by the old position of Associate Editor. Those interested should apply directly to Miss Rebecca Sherrill, who will make nominations from among the applicants to the Subcommittee for its final approval.

Acting on another suggestion of Miss Pratt, the committee decided to request of the Academic Advisory Council that it considers the granting of one hour's credit in Journalism for each quarter that a student holds one of the appointive positions.

Recommendations for staff appointments were made to the Subcommittee by the newly-formed Student-Faculty Nominating Committee.

The Committeee for the HILLTOP NEWS was composed of Mr. Dennis Tosh, chairman, Mr. Ernest Gust, Kirby Farrington, and Stan Moor.

The committee for the QUADRANGLE was composed of Mr. B. Brooks Shelhorse, chairman, Dr. Walter D. Jones, Cindy Wapensky and Jesse Slagle.

The committee for the SCROLL was composed of Mr. Fred B. Freeman, chairman. Mr. S. Ray Shead, Vicki Lyle and Pam Zirkle.

On the recommendations for Mr. Van Bohannon, editor of the QUADRANGLE, this position will be held from now on from the beginning of the Spring quarter, to the end of the following Winter quarter.

By a unanimous vote, the Subcommittee expressed its appreciation to the staff members of all the publications — and particularly to the Editors — for the high quality of this year's work.

Friday, May 8, at the annual meeting of the board, the LaGrange College board of trustees elected LaGrange businessman Charles D. Hudson for the post of chairman.

Hudson has been a trustee for nine years and formerly served as chairman of the buildings and grounds committee. He succeeds John P. Illges in of Columbus, chairman since 1966.

After presiding at the meeting, Illges said he "deeply appreciated the opportunity to serve the college and the board as chairman and look forward to continuing my service at whatever capacity I am needed."

The former chairman is a member of the Columbus City Commission, and is also affiliated with a Columbus investment firm. He said the pressure of business and civic responsibilities forced his resignation as chairman. He will continue as a board member and chairman of the Development Council.

During Hudson's years as chairman of the board's buildings and grounds committee, the college has constructed the chapel.acquired and renovated the president's home, had major renovations in four other buildings, started construction of the new residence hall, and formulated plans for the science facility.

A native of LaGrange, Hudson is the owner of Hammond-Hudson Insurance Agency. He is a graduate of

Georgia Military, and an alumnus of Auburn University.

Clifford C. Glover, the new first vice chairman succeeding Glen Simpson, is president of Batson-Cook Company, a construction firm with headquarters in West Point.

R. Woodrow Smith of LaGrange was re-elected secretary-treasurer of the board.

Campus to Receive New Gateway

Mills B. Lane of Atlanta, president of The Citizens and Southern National Bank has announced the gift of a new main gateway to the LC campus by the directors of The Citizens and Southern Banks in Georgia.

Mr. Lane said the directors of all the C&S banks recently voted to contribute an estimated $25,000 for construction of the new main entrance.

"We are thankful for the generous contribution of the bank directors in The Citizens and Southern System, and for their interest in independent higher education."

"The gateway will be an attractive addition to the beautification of our campus, and, by its design, will emphasize the quality of our institution," Dr. Henry stated.

Mr. Lane, speaking for the directors, said, "It is our sincere

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS A Christian Witne*

Editorial As this is my final

opportunity to write as editor of the campus newspaper, I want to express thanks to those who have helped me and wish the best of success to Rebecca Sherrill, next year's editor. It is my desire that under her direction, this campus will see the development of a newspaper of which the students, faculty, and administration can be proud to say, "That paper is from LaGrange College." I urge each of the readers who is the least bit interested to help Rebecca for her job is one of great responsibility.

Letter to the Editor For years, the students have

accused the bookstore on campus of charging too much for the books. In your last issue, you published a survey done by the administration concerning this matter. This survey showed that the prices at the bookstore are equivalent to those in bookstores run by the school, rather than separately.

My concern as a student is still the prices as they affect my pocketbook, not in comparison with other bookstores. For example, Political Science 361 is using the book Behind the Lines — Hanoi by Harrison E. Salisbury this spring. The bookstore was so considerate as to cut the price from $5.95 to $4.75. There is only one problem. This same book can be bought for 95 cents in bookstores in Atlanta. There is a discrepancy of almost $4 which is of great concern to the members of the class.

The campus newspaper can be more than dull, dry news that happened quite a long time ago. Of course, it must report campus happenings. But it can be a forum for ideas, a sounding-off place for everyone. It can be an ideal discussion ground and a beginning point for campus disagreement and improvement. A student newspaper can publish student writings of all types. It can be a meaningful, helpful addition and asset to any campus. I hope to see this in effect for the Hilltop in the very near future.

In closing, I would point the reader to the progress that has been made in many assets of campus life this year. We are learning to work together as one unit; I hope this trend continues until we develop some very strong sense of college spirit and overcome the petty small group competition in which we have sometimes engaged. LC, to me — a freshman — after one year, has become a place to study and work, and it has become a place I love. Maybe it's been that way for readers too and maybe we can work together next year to make it an even better place.

Letter to the Editor

In the last issue of the Hilltop News, there was about a f o u r - p ara gr a p h e d animadversion on LaGrange College. OK-fine — most of these critical points are true, and many students including myself just don't dig some of the school's obtuse rules.

I'm writinb because it made me furious for someone to have something like that critical statement published, WITHOUT the writer's signature.

If a person has something to say, why should he be afraid to submit his name — instead "Please withhold name for fear of administration not liking it." 8

This is a very typical statement of some students at LaGrange. They can cut the school, but are afraid of others, especially of the administration, the ones they should and have to negotiate with, to know who is saying it.

If students really want to change some things for their benefit, there are surely better ways to go about it. Unrepresented statements have as much power as obscene epigrams on bathroom walls — anonymous criticisms cannot bargain justly with honest people trying to change SOME things.

Student Dialog Welcomed by Congress

The following is an excerpt from a speech made in the U.S. Senate by Georgia's Senator Herman Talmadge.

"Mr. President, recently the Nation's capital was visited by .tens of thousands of students to express their feelings about the war in Vietnam and the expansion of the conflict to Cambodia.

They visited their Senators and Congressman. Many Georgia students came by my office. I saw some of them, and my staff others.

I believe these young people made a tremendous impression on Capitol Hill. A dialog was established. Viewpoints were exchanged. We could not always agree with them, nor they with us. But, most important, there was the give and take of discussion and in reasonable terms, and in voices calm enough to be heard and understood. If the ones who came by my office are an example, they did both then- cause and their fellow students throughout the Nation a great service. They did us in Congress a service.

From all the information that I am able to gather, here was a expression of genuine concern:

Concern about a war in Southeast Asia that has dragged on and on for more than 6 years.

Concern about enlarging the scope of the war in Cambodia.

Concern about the fact that they really have been given nothing concrete to indicate that there is an end in sight.

I am not talking about the college radicals, militants, or revolutionists who speak with a voice of violence. I am thinking of the millions of American college students and other young people all across the land. They stand as an overwhelming majority of the American youth. They were interested in speaking and being heard, and they disdain throwing bombs and setting fires as much as all of us.

Consider how it is that their concern is so intense. Here are

19 and 20 year old people, who were only 13 or 14 when the United States first started fighting in Vietnam. They have attentively followed progress, or the lack of progress, of the war over the years. They have seen 50,000 Americans lose their lives, and some 275,000 wounded. They have been inundated by promises and pledges, but yet the war goes on.

Now, they are of the age that their Government may well ask them to go halfway around the world and lay down their own lives in a war that they believe should have been brought to a conclusion a long time ago.

For years, these young people have watched American soldiers sent to fight and die with virtually one hand tied behind them. On the basis of past performance, I can understand their outrage about the prospect of enlarging the boundaries of the war.

They question the President's decision to put American troops on a foreign battlefield in an undeclared war in the abscence of congressional consultation and involvement. They ask how it began, and when will it end?

This Senate has questioned such action as well. I can share and understand this concern of the Nation's young people, and I believe an overwhelming majority of our citizens do too.

In sum, I want to congratulate these young people who took the time to make their feelings known on Capitol Hill, This is where decisions have to be made, and not in the streets.

We are willing to listen to young people, and we share their hope for an end to the fighting and killing in Southeast Asia. I hope that they will continue their mission of making their voices heard and their feelings known in peaceful ways. I would be less than candid if I did not say that I also hope they will not

BY GENE COLLUM Late last year I drove to

Sylvester, Georgia to hear a Methodist preacher. At the end of the service, I asked him if it would be possible for him to come to LaGrange for an evangelistic crusade. From this simple beginning, came the Ford Philpot crusade for Great Troup County in the last two weeks.

For me, it has been like a dream come true. Many others have worked in the crusade; many have really done far more than my own efforts. Yet each night, I have been able to sit and watch the throngs of people come and hear God's Word preached in an exciting and challenging way and know that it all began with a handshake across the altar of the First Methodist Church in Sylvester, Ga. It's been a good feeling.

I know that many students have heard much about the man and the crusade. Some of you heard him speak here in the chapel. Some liked what he had to say; some did not. However, no one can say that he was not a man of courage. He spoke his mind, he told it like it was as far as he was concerned. He did not say what he thought you wanted to hear; he was honest with you. That's the kind of speaker we need to hear more often.

It doesn't matter whether you or I agree with him if he has the guts to level with us about his own convictions. We can learn from him. Deliver me from old men who think the way to communicate with youth is to try to "speak their language." That's a cop out. It's a frank admission that he has no faith in his own thing. It's a bore. Fred Philpot tells it like it is in his own language. We need more men like that.

I am amazed and shocked and disappointed that some of my own profesron would take passing swiped at him In the first place, it's poor ministerial ethics. In the second place, it's probably often a case of "sour grapes." He gets more converts than they do. And make no mistake about it... conversion is still the name of the game. The main point of the church is still to cause men and women to repent of their sins and be converted to a faith in Jesus Christ. The "good works" of the church must proceed from that point if they are to be good works at all.

The reason for the scarcity of good works proceeding from the church is directly related to the lack of genuine conversion experiences within the church. We have tried to take a short cut to heaven by way of our own righteousness and have gotten lost in the wilderness. It's time we got back on the right road...the one which leads through Calvary to the salvation of the soul as the primary step. Then we will have those who will walk the way of "loving their neighbor as thyself " but not before.

Final thought: Would this college dare ask Ford Philpot to a Religious Emphasis Week?

"Sound of Music" Production Superb The classic, yet ever

charming, musical comedy, "The Sound of Music," was the choice for the drama department's annual musical for 1970.

Portraying Capt. Von Trapp in "Sound of Music" was John Wilson of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts.

With the magnificent Rodgers and Hammerstein lyrics and music, the delightful story celebrated the true adventures of the Trapp family who fled from Hitler to become a beloved group of folk singers in America's concert halls.

The production was directed by Dr. Max Estes, chairman of the Fine Arts Division. The cast included 33 members, the efforts of which combined for a superb rendition of the very popular play.

Linda Parsons, a recent LC transfer, captured wholeheartedly the character of the convent-postulant who became a governess to seven motherless children of Capt. von Trapp. Miss Parsons' performance was, without exception, excellent.

The father was played by John Wilson, a veteran of LC stage. Although his ability was

not clearly shown in this play as much as in others, he, too, turned in a portrayal — in character.

Almost without exception the individual members of the cast performed splendidly. Indeed, almost everyone in the play had "their moment." To single out any one for recognition would be unfair.

The musical numbers were much, much better than one might have expected. The 12-piece orchestra seemed occasionally to "come on too strong," but that is one of the problems of the actual construction of the stage. The singing of Shirley Robinson as Mother Abbess was simply unparalled! On the technical side of things, the scenery, costumes, lighting, and sound effects were also tops.

Hopefully, there will be a continuation of productions of this calibur seen on the LC stage.

KD To Replace Alpha Kappa Theta Kappa Delta is the first

national sorority to establish a colony at LaGrange College. It replaces a local sorority, Alpha Kappa Theta, which has been in existence since 1906.

Earlier this spring the mem- bers of Alpha Kappa Theta petitioned to become affiliated with KD. They became pledges in recent initiation ceremonies.

Mrs. John H. Lammert of Tucker, president of the national sorority's Gamma North Province, and Miss Patricia Murdock, of Clifton, N. J., a KD field secretary, were present for the initiation and the reception which followed.

Final Roundtable Held

The President's Roundtable met for the final time this year on Monday evening, May 4. After dinner was served, Mrs. Burgess, the person most responsible for working up the monthly meeting, arose and thanked everyone for attending the dinner and welcomed the newly elected campus leaders.

Dr. Henry expressed his thanks to those present for the job they had done and then continued to mention several things in the area of finances that seemed to be disturbing numerous students. He discussed the fact that he had met with several prominent people, and they had expressed confidence in the ability of LaGrnage College to survive in this age of increasing costs and hardships in the field of education.

The age-old question was then raised of what the college was doing in the area of providing facilities for student recreation, both on and off campus. Dr. Henry told of plans in the making for a recreation area near the new lake that is being created on the Chattahoochee River. He said that the school would con- sider the proposed construction of handball courts in a corner of the athletic field. The pros and cons of having a school-sponsored baseball team were also covered with the cons naving the last word.

Newly elected student body president, Charles Stevens, told of the work being done on the student handbook. Then, in closing, Dr. Henry expressed appreciation for a job well done by this year's leaders and ex- pectation for a continuation by next year's. With that, the last President's Roundtable for this year came to an end.

Kappa Delta representatives from chapters at Emory University, Georgia South- western College, Oglethorpe College, and University of Georgia also attended.

Earlier Mrs. T. K. Gallagher of Stillwater, Oklahoma, national vice president of the sorority, Miss Marie Sheahan of Atlanta, also a field secretary, and Mrs. Lammert visited the campus and the local sorority.

Later Miss Charlene Hampton, Alpha Kappa Theta president, was notified that the group's petition had been received and approved.

The pledge ceremony was held at the First Presbyterian Church. There Mr. Lammert told the LC

women that if their group meets

the prescribed standards it will become Kappa Delta's 111th chapter.

Installation and chartering of the new chapter is scheduled for October, Miss Hampton siad.

Others officers who will con- tinue to serve the KD colony are Sharon Nicholson, first vice president; Nancy Key, second vice president, Pamela Hoiriis, assistant social chairman; Shirley Brown, secretary; Susan Blanker, treasurer; Nancy NeSmith, Greek Council; Cindy Wapensky, legislative representative; Patricia McAfee, historian; and Mrs. Gaye Menge, chaplain. ......

The colony's advisors are Mrs. Carolyn Burgess, and Mrs. Linda Crouch.

Students Attend Government Workshop Eight LaGrange College

students and Dean John Love participated recently in the second annual Student Workshop on State Government in the state capitol.

Sponsored by Lt. Gov. George T. Smith, some 500 students representing almost every in- stitution of higher education in Georgia engaged in dialogue with members of the General Assembly.

Dean Love said the conference "was very beneficial to both the students and the legislature as each group heard the other ex- press opinions about the goals of state government."

The agenda for the two-day

conference included student- legislator panel discussions on such topics as drug abuse and student dissent. Such topics as environmental pollution, in- stitutionalized racism, and the board of regents were also discussed.

Lucia Carr of Jackson was one of the 11-student steering com- mittee for the conference. Dean Love was one of the three faculty advisors. Ronald deValinger of Atlanta was named as a member of the steering committee for the conference.

Others attending were John Berry, Van Bohannon, Susan Kaysen, Terry Savage, Jan Sullivan, and Carol Vaughn.

Who the Hell is Right? (This article is reprinted from "The West Georgian" and was

written by Irene Young.)

Look around. Can you see it? There's a war going on over there. And people are killing, and people are being killed, and people over here are making money because of it.

There's even a war going on over here. It's a thing called a fight against pollution. The Saviour side tries to help the helpless side, but the helpless side won't let it. And we must not forget the war in the ghetto. They've got to struggle to keep alive as a body, and as a somebody.

There are people who call other people "commies," "nigger lovers," or plain ole "bastards." Pity those name callers. What would they do if they wanted to move into Knob Hill and their skin color was black. It's doubtful that they'd rise from a night's sleep^go to brush their teeth, look into the mirror, pat their cheeks, and say, "Good morning, you damn nigger."

And there are people who say God is dead, but didn't go to the funeral. And people who say the church is useless, but don't go to find out. Who the hell is right? The Catholics, the Jews, or Nietzsche? Just do your cross and forget it. And if you don't do a cross, don't worry about it. Half the people who do it don't know what it means.

There are people who take "trips" to get away from this life—and then those who set them up for life because of it There are even people who try to reach the moon — and they haven't reached earth yet. The next thing you know, they'll be doing something really impossible — like trying to get to heaven.

And of course, there are those who rape twelve-year-olds — and twelve-year-olds who get raped. And people who murder other people, and other people who watch the murderer do it, but don't want to get involved. And they're so right — go ahead and let people get killed — just so long as you don't have anything to do with them. Jurt think how it helps offset the population explosion.

There are married people with low income or high who have babies and kill them, or drown them. And of course, there are just people who have babies.

There are people who say, "I love you " with their eyes closed — and people who say "I hate you" with their eyes open.

Look around. Do you see it? There are even people who don't give a damn about the words you're reading. But don't get discouraged, peaceful war fighters of our future. Don't cop out. There are a lot of good people in this world — just not enough people looking for them.

Trustees Take Action At Meet In addition to the election of

new officers, the board of trustees completed, at their annual meeting, a by-law change to make the Student Government Association president an ex- officio member of the group and adopted a $1.3 million budget.

According to Dr. Henry, the board completed a change in the by-laws to allow the president of the student body to serve as a trustee. The change was initiated six months ago and enacted after a required waiting period.

Charles Stevens, recently elected SGA president, will be the first to represent LC students on the policy- making group.

In related action, the trustees made the academic dean, the

business manager, and a full professor with tenure elected by the faculty as official consultants of the board.

The brick and metal entranceway will feature several columns and iron work, interspersed with ornamental shrubbery, on either side of the driveway. The drive will be re-paved with bricks which will include the college seal in the design.

R. Woodrow Smith, president of the Citizens and Southern Bank of LaGrange and secretary-treasurer of the Board of Trustees for LC, said, "All of the directors were happy to contribute to the new entrance and hope that it will become an attractive campus landmark in the years to come."

In reply to a HTN survey, seniors indicated that their plans are many and different. The varied plans include summer work, graduate study at University of Georgia, University of South Carolina, Emory Law School, Boston University, and many others, marriage and teaching. Some seniors plan to work in Troup County; one will return to LC as an admissions counselor. Several graduating

men have plans to enter the National Guard, the Navy, or the Army. Some seniors plan to just loaf for a while — for a change? Others plan to go into business or other employment.

Leaving LC produces mixed emotions in most seniors. Most point out some area where the school could be improved; they also are ready with remarks about the school's outstanding points. Among these are mentioned the small campus, many close friendships, and the teaching staff.' The main improvement called for is that of campus spirit, coming closer together and avoiding small group competition. Mixed in with all this serious contemplation are some lighter statements such as "I'll always remember the first trip to Stop n' Shop" and simply "Hurrah!"

Paula Klein may have captured the spirit of impending graduation with these words: "A senior has so many mixed emotions as graduation fever strikes. There is an excitement: the diploma, no more studies. There is a fear: after sixteen years of schooling and knowing what each fall would bring, suddenly "freedom" is a gate to a giant maze and the outside world. There is reflection: a time to say thank you for all the memories, the classes, the professors, the basketball games, Greek affiliation, cafeteria lines, SGA, No-Doz, dorm life, roommates, boycotts, plays, the student center, Stop n' Shop, end of the road, Homecoming, May Day, the bookstore, quiet hours, the Quadrangle — and the spirit that looms over the campus. The spirit that makes you a part: A spirit that rests within the student body — those who have gone before and those who are yet to come, and those who have shared these four years of wonderful, frustrating, turbulent college life. And there is a sadness amidst the joy — for there is a time to say goodbye — to that which can never be again."

If all this seems too sentimental, we encourage you to think about it a long while! In leaving, you'll yell, "Hurrah!" and life on the LaGrange College campus will go on. But, we'll remember and maybe you will too!

Students urged

to Take Part in Politics

The Governor's race isn't the most important elective office in this state. There is one other office that is as powerful or almost so. It doesn't have the glamour, but it does have the autonomy and control over its actions. These actions effect everyone in the state; the public, the businessman, the car owner, the homeowner, the rich and the poor.

The Comptroller General is the one post being elected this year that is as critical as the gover- nor's office to be filled with the right man.

The Comptroller General is guardian of the appropriations bill as passed by the legislature, controls ledgers on all operations of state government, regulates small loan companies, is the Safety Fire Commissioner and appoints the state fire marshall, controls the Consumer Credit act provisions, handles enforcement of the Mobile Home act, along with several other ex-officio duties.

With this in mind, students should certainly become involved in a race so important to them.

One candidate for this office, Joe Sports, a past Executive Director of Georgia's Democratic Party, will be at LC the week of May 25. Sport's Headquarter's said that the college caravan will be in the old- fashioned barnstorming style with a featured dixieland band and "Sports Punch" served right from the barrel. They are scheduled to arrive around 6:00 p.m. Monday afternoon.

It is possible that.other can- didates will also be visiting LaGrange College in the near future. In the words of one contender, students should get involved in this race.

Guess Who To make this questionnaire

a little more difficult, we thought that we would try something different. Match a member of the '69-'70 faculty, administration, or staff to the following sayings:

"Confidentially speaking..." "In the final analysis..." See No Evil, Hear No Evil,

Speak No Evil "Your leader will be here

shortly" "Economically speaking..." "We look forward to coming

back." "Yah-who?" "Our boys have improved." "Intuitively, we can see

that..." "Puff...Puff" "There isn't a *%%*%%

thing being done." Also: Do You Know Where... ...the only concrete-filled

tree on campus is? ...the sundial base is; ...the room where some of

the seniors play "The Game?" The first person to correctly

answer all the above questions will be awarded $5.00.
