PLEDGES WILL BE KEPT BUSY THIS QUARTER Ah. . . the life of a pledge!?

What does it all mean? Well, for the pledge it means a quarter of work, work, and even more work. On the other hand, for the brother or sister it means a quarter of leisure, free from all the routine chores of filling ice buckets, polishing shoes, ironing clothes, cleaning apartments, etc.

Taking a quick glance at each individual pledge class, we find that Kappa Phi Delta has

Assembly Features

"The Dramatic

Monologue" Dr. Richard Hudson, a native

of Long Island, N. Y. and distinguished in the field of drama and drama teaching, presented a dramatic reading in assembly on January 21.

Dr. Hudson's presentation was entitled, "The Dramatic Monologue," and included readings from the works of some of the world's greatest authors.

His first selection was a reading from "The Pardoner's Tale", by Geoffrey Chaucer. This was followed by two selections from Robert Browning's works, "My Last Duchess", and "The Bishop Orders His Tomb at St. Praxenes". Dr. Hudson also did a reading from "Ulysses", by James Joyce.

Dr. Hudson holds degrees from the University of Paris, the University of Pennsylvania, and Swathmore College. He has taught English at several Universities in the northern States and has taught courses in modern drama, English literature, and creative writing.

At the C. W. Post College of Long Island University in New York, he has directed both student and professional theatrical productions. He has acted himself in numerous productions, including professional off-Broadway shows and films.

Other assemblies scheduled for this quarter will feature

DISCUSSION GROUP

A discussion group is meeting on Wednesdays at four o'clock in Manget 110. This group, student-sponsored and with the approval of the History Department, deals with discussions on relevant topics. Anyone who wishes to participate in these meetings in invited. The only requirement is that participants must know something about the topic under discussion. The purpose of these discussions is so that those who come may broaden their perspectives as well as have a good "rap".

thirteen pledges this quarter. They are: Pam Zirkle, President; Cathy Mashburn, Secretary-Treasurer; June Thompson, Historian; Becky Sewell, Patti Mooney, Gail Cook, Dianne Hatch, Ann McLemore, Peggy Swecker, Mary Hamby, Carolyn Hurt, Doris Anthony, and Cathy Rogers. These industrious girls have spent their- spare time cleaning sisters' rooms, doing chores at mealtime, polishing

shoes, and performing numerous other jobs that the sisters may request, as long as the particular job doesn't interfere with studies. Also, several projects have been planned, such as, selling popcorn at campus movies, sponsoring a Miss Basketball Contest, and ironing clothes for students throughout the quarter. It looks as though these girls have a lot of hard work in store for them.

The assistant di- rector for this production will be Susan Mewborn, and Cathy Schoonmaker will portray Aunt Gussie.

DEADLINE SET

The deadline for applications for the seminar and trip to Holy Land this summer has been set as February 1. Applicants should see Dr. McCook on or by this date.

Max Shelhorse, and Jay Jones comprise the list of pledges for Beta Rho Fraternity. These boys will be striving to maintain a high academic standard, symbolic of the Beta Rho Fraternity. A money making project is still in the planning stages. The pledges will be kept busy by learning about everything concerning Beta Rho, such as history, the constitution, the by-laws, etc. A road trip has been planned for sometime in the near future.

The Alpha Phi Beta pledge class consists of Sue Dinkins, President; Kathy Goolsby, Secretary; Beverly Edwards, Treasurer; Judy Jordan, Sissy Laurent, Corinna Fleming, Mary Lou Miller, Carol Baird, Bonita Harris, Marty Chabaut, Bee Rush, and Rebecca Sherrill. As a service project the girls have decided to sponsor a boy in Viet Nam and also to sponsor a chapel program. Money making projects include a spaghetti supper to be held February I. This project is to be sponsored jointly by the Alpha Phi Beta and Delta Tau Delta pledges. Tickets will be on sell shortly and can be purchased from any pledge. Other minor money making projects are still in the planning stages. To keep them busy the pledges have been cleaning rooms, ironing clothes,

.and running errands for the sisters. Supporting the Alpha Phi

I and Delta Tau basketball teams has involved more than singing songs. Several times the pledges have honored the sisters and brothers with "enthusiastic" cheers. The pledges are also adding many new songs to Alpha Phi's collection. They are original and show the capability

of a truly great pledge class. On January 12, 1970, the

Gamma Nu Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity officially inducted nine pledges. They read as follows: Ronnie deValinger, President; Doug Wedgworth, Treasurer; Tony Fowler, Secretary; Vernon Turner, Historian; David Covington, Chaplain; Randy Griffith, Joe Justice, David Little, and Danny Mink. After the induction, the pledges held a meeting with Billy Mims, Warden of the Fraternity. Instructions* were given concerning the pledge program. Plans for the quarter include carrying trays in the cafeteria for the AKO's and Pi Kapp brothers, wearing a coat and tie on Wednesdays, dorm clean-ups and a special emphasis has been put on academic achievement. The pledge class is hoping to sponsor several service and fund raising projects during the quarter. Among plans is a concert of contempory music to be presented by Brother Jimmy Smith.

The Alpha Kappa Theta Sorority held their pledge induction on Monday, January 12. The new pledges for the Winter Quarter are as follows: Ginger Hays, President; Cindy Lancaster, Treasurer; Donna Barker, Theresa Burt, Valerie Krug, Martha MacMillan, Margie Nolan, Valerie Panico, Patty Solomon, Cathy Trapp, Cindy Turner, and Sandy Willis. The duties of the newly elected pledge president and treasurer are to see that the pledge projects are done and that the dues are paid. Selling candy and donuts are a few of the money making projects that have bee

EDITORIAL By Janice Pratt

One Thing Yet Lacketh Thou

Have you ever had a question about campus affairs, but you didn't know whom to consult? Have you ever had a problem with a schedule, but you

couldn't find your faculty advisor? Have you ever found yourself puzzled over what field to major in, what career to plan for, but you

had no well-trained, professional person from whom to obtain advice.

The fact is simply that there is no professional counseling and guidance center on our campus. We are lacking in the one area of service in which even most high schools can boast. There is a great need on our campus for counseling facilities. For the faculty members, acting as an advisor is only an extra burden on the list of responsibilities. These advisors, though qualified to teach, are not prepared to

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate you and members of The Hilltop News staff on the quality of the first two issues for the winter quarter. The newspaper has more content and comes nearer to being a college newspaper than anything we have had for some time. There are many features that appeal to me and I am sure that you and your staff will make some adjustments as time goes on.

I want to express appreciation to you for having someone come

render counseling services. For prospective seniors, there is, at present, no specified place to go for help in planning further education and/or a career. There is no job placement service on campus; rather, bulletins, pamphlets and brochure are placed in hit-or-miss fashion on the various bulletin boards.

There is no place to take personal problems; no qualified person to help plan schedules, discover major fields of interest, no competent staff to guide in the planning of a career.

In my opinion, if LaGrange is truly to hold its margin of distinction, the establishment of a guidance and counseling center will be necessary.

Through our Student Government Association and in our conversation with members of the administration and faculty, we students can demonstrate our concern and desire for such a service. In this way, we can work toward obtaining these needed guidance and counseling facilities.

by the office of the Academic Dean each week. I promised Ray Cox that I will always try to make it possible for stories coming out of the Dean's office to appear early in The Hilltop News. One of the most satisfying experiences in extra-curricular activities that I had in college was that of working on the college newspaper. It meant a lot to me as an individual and I have always recognized the importance of a good strong college newspaper. Please feel free to come by the office at any time if I may be of assistance to you.

A CHRISTIAN

WITNESS

by Gene Collum

The Author of Christianity showed his estimate of the value of testimony by declaring in his last recorded words, "Ye shall be witnesses unto me" (Acts 1:8). Testimony is the most valuable of all the agencies used in promoting the cause of God. I believe it to be irreplaceable as a means of propagating the Gospel.

From the "Class" meetings of early Methodism to this very hour, Christians have known the power of spiritual experience, rightly told, to draw believers to Christ and His Gospel. The Church and the world are making a sad mistake when they listen more attentively to the speculations of theorizers than to the declarations of witnesses attesting that Jesus is the complete Saviour of all men. Experience is ever superior to theory.

John Wesley held that "experience" was one of the basic tests as to whether or not a particular interpretation of Scripture was in harmony with the Spirit of truth. I doubt that Wesley would agree that experience was sufficient to prove a doctrine that could not be supported by scripture but he said, "experience is sufficient to confirm a doctrine which is grounded in Scripture."

Unfortunately both witnessing and experience have come into disrepute. They have been brought there by those who would prefer to have Christ say, "Ye shall be scholars" or "academians" or "orators" or a dozen other things—anything but "Ye shall be witnesses." These persons have little use for ."witnessing", and they cast doubtful eyes at anyone who claims to have had an "experience" with God. This is tragic, but it is not the worst facet of the problem.

Somehow these non-witnessing, non-experienced religion experts

Sincerely yours,

C. Lee Harwell Academic Dean

have put the witnessing, experienced churchmen on the defensive. From their lofty academic towers, they have looked down and told us we were naive, ignorant little creatures who didn't understand all the difficult ramifications of theology. Because they look important way up in their fine tower, and because they speak with such a voice of authority, we have sort of scuffled our feet and then apologized for believing what we thought the Bible said. And in the midst of this we have almost lost the world for Christianity.

This is one fellow who is about ready to try to topple the towers. The way I read the Bible, the Pharisees looked important, spoke with authority, and missed the boat anyway.

Anybody want to join a Tower-toppling Club? Only unashamed Christian Witnesses need apply.

THE BEACON

"Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him and saying.

Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

This is the first and greatest commandment.

And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

On these two commandments hang all the law and all the prophets." . . . Matthew 22:35-40

To some of us, these are just mere words, but to others who understand and abide by the Word of God, it is different. We see these two commandments as a way of life, and we live them that way.

Is it possible that you were once walking on the LC campus and someone smiled at you for the heck of it? Not many of us can say "yes", but to those special few let me ask you this question. "How did it make you feel?"—about ten feet tall, am I not right? Would you want someone else to feel this way? Think about it.

It is just like the commandment says, "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Don't be afraid of being thrown out of the crowd if you are nice to someone. There are other things

DEAR MOM

& DAD

So far my second quarter here has been much the same as my first - the white kids haven't learned to accept me as a human being yet.

To the people here, I'm black first, a person second, and there is nothing I can do to make them think otherwise. It wouldn't be so bad if they would only admit their prejudice to themselves, instead of trying to cover it up by false friendliness. Just about everyone says "hello" to me, and yet nobody has made any kind of an effort to really get to know me.

You know, I can't say I blame them for the way they think; after all, if you hear "niggers aren't worth a damn" every day, you begin to believe it. If there were only some way that we could make them see how it feels to be looked down on, turned away from places, discouraged from joining fraternal organizations, not asked to participate in school activities, treated as inferiors, and just generally stepped on, then maybe their attitude would be different.

You are going without a lot in order to send me to school, so I guess I'll stay. Maybe by staying here I'll open up the way for others, and perhaps eventually they will learn to accept us for what we are - not for the color of our skin. But one question keeps coming into my mind-Is it worth it? Wouldn't it be better just to go to a predominantly black college where I could develop a sense of belonging?

I can't come up with the answers - maybe you can.

music. Let's say you or your group just happen to be working on a "different" new sound - vocal, instrumental, combo or whatever. Or let's say you like to compose music, lyrics. And then let's say you've got real talent up one of these alleys.

How can you move your new sound into the spotlight? How can you get a real pro to listen to your greatest achievement?

The news today is about a Good Samaritan with top radio-record connections who's offering you a shot at the Big Time on a gold platter. There will be, starting February 1, a search conducted by more than 200 radio stations around the country, for the kind of new music sounds that will make tomorrow's Billboard charts. In fact, Billboard - the music, record, radio and entertainment bible - is the hub of this big "Search for the New Sound". Experts on their staff, and others to whom they have access, will listen to the taped enties chosen as local winners by the 200 stations participating in the "New Sound Network". Billboard has been commissioned to handle the project by the Tea Council of the U. S. A., who's footing the bill.

Why is the tea industry doing this? In the words of John Anderson, the Council's executive director: "It's a constructive way we can say thanks to young people. They all like music and are interested in the new sounds that keep coming along. Our surveys of tea

consumption show that, for some reason, iced tea has all of a sudden taken a leap upward in the 12-to-25 age group, year-round. We're appreciative, of course, and thought we'd put up the money to give some of the talented young musicians a break they maybe couldn't get otherwise. We hope it will be a lot of fun for those who participate as well as for those who just listen.

"I think we'll find some pretty exciting new sounds to share with modern music lovers."

It is possible that some people missed the first issue in which the policy of the Organization section was stated. If this has happened, I will restate it now. This paper does not have the staff to chase people down. Each organization should send in what they would like printed by Monday at 10:00.

discussed.

Delta Tau Delta Fraternity has six new pledges for this quarter. They are: Stanley Land, Glen Pait, Randy Hunnicutt, Mark Edwards, Ces Lawton, and Robert Whatley. These young men have just begun to understand what the Fraternity and the purpose of the Fraternity is all about. It has been difficult for them to comprehend everything right now, but they have learned that you must work for something before you get it. Several fund raising projects have been discussed but are still in the planning stages. These pledges have spent their spare time polishing shoes, carrying trays in the lunchroom, and doing any other odd jobs that may be requested by a brother. Stanley Land, pledge president, had this to say about the pledges, "We are all individuals, but we must learn and strive to be a part of the brotherhood of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity".

The Kappa Sigma Fraternity

has 12 pledges for this quarter. They are: Jere Brownlow, President; Jesse Slagle, Secretary-Treasurer; Richard Baker, Rufus Burford, John Federline, Carl Groover, Buzz Biddle, David Long, Rick Mason, Bill O'Donnell, Tom Traylor, and Scott Wiseman. A different service project has been planned

for each week. Washing cars and polishing the Fraternity's trophies are just a few of the many projects that have been planned. The fund raising projects are still in the planning stages. The pledges recently took part in a road trip.

It looks as though these pledges are all in for a quarter of hard work. A pledge is easy to identify. He or she can usually be seen lurking behind a corner trying to escape from within the evil clutches of a brother or sister. If you happen to spot any of these shadey looking characters be sure to report them to your local brother or sister, chances are they are looking for them.

When questioned on how they felt about pledging, several of the pledges had this to say:

Mary Hamby, Kappa Phi Delta pledge remarked, "Pledging is a lot of fun and a lot of hard work but it's all worth it."

Two Alpha Kappa Theta

pledges, Theresa Burt and Cathy Trapp both agreed that "Pledging has its advantages because you get to know people better, although a lot of work is involved it's an experience that is necessary in seeing the value of becoming a sister."

Beeman Rush, Alpha Phi Beta pledge stated, "I wanted a bid from Alpha Phi, I had heard about pledging and I had an idea what I was in for, however that's what it's all about. If you want to be part of a special group bad enough then you should be willing to take what they give you."

Kappa Sigma pledge, Weasel remarked, "Pledging is a time when you really get to know your brothers and visa versa. Also a time that no matter how hard it seems its's all worth it in the end."

POLAND INVENTS THE SUBMARINE AND IS PARTITIONED 1772

In the 18th Century Poland found herself in a rather peculiar position (a prone position in Eastern Europe). She was a large nation and yet she had no power. To remedy this situation, Polish leaders decided that the only way they could throw their weight around in Europe was to have a navy. By Polish standards this was logical thinking. Since their government was called a Diet, it had little surplus weight to throw around.

Letters were sent to all of Poland's great men asking them to assemble to discuss the

matter. Leopold Wrongturnskii, the great Polish tour guide, was the first to arrive. Next came Toota Sournoteskii, the famous musician and composer of

'"Poland the. Beautiful". Sournoteskii probably would have been the most famous composer in all of Europe had he been able to read English a little better. While translating a treatise on music, Sournoteskii mistook the word "note" for "nose". By the time he discovered his mistake, he had already composed "Poland the Beautiful" - this explains why

Poles can always be seen holding handkerchiefs when the piece is played. The last to arrive was the famous Polish Admiral, Davy Jones Nofloatskii. All three of Poland's great men were now present.

For the better part of two years a heated argument raged as to where to build the ship. It was too hard to drag a forest to the coast, and it was much too hard to drag the ocean to the woods, so they decided to build their ship in the woods and drag it to the sea. All was carefully planned.

Work was painfully slow because they first had to invent the nail. Five years later the hammer was invented. The Poles have always had a flair for technology. Masts for the ship presented no problems since Poland abounded in tall Poles. Before arming their ship, they borrowed a book on canon law from the Pope. Seeking an easy way out, they simply canonized the ship by naming it Saint Boatskii.

The next task was to drag the ship to water. For the next ten years, teams of valiant Poles lugged and pushed until at last they sighted water - the Pacific Ocean. They became the first to circumnavigate the globe overland. At last the ship was launched. It hit the water, bobbed up and down a few times, and then sank with all hands on deck.

The great powers, Austria, Russia and Prussia were terribly upset by the whole ' business. Since the Poles had not abandoned the ship after it sank, they reasoned, they must have discovered a new and clever way to control the sea. To prevent a threatened upset in the balance of power in Europe, the great powers decided to invade and partition Poland as quickly as possible. Both Poland and her navy ceased to exist.

Legend has it that to this day the Poles and Saint Boatskii can be seen surfacing and sinking - appearing and disappearing. They have become the symbol of Poland since Poland has had a way of appearing and disappearing from the maps of Europe.

HILLTOP NEWS IPtll A LOOK AT

INTRAMURALS by Joe Fisher

Last Monday Alpha Phi Beta played Alpha Kappa Theta in what must have been the best and the funniest game ever played at LaGrangc College.

Every minute was full of excitement as the girls outscored all but one of the boy's games played to date.

AKO pushed to a 28 to 24 half-time lead over Alpha Phi with MEW'S and Pat McAfee's scoring. Also helping AKO out was Donna "Motar" Barker's defense keeping out Melissa Elm's drives.

It was clearly seen that AK$ could beat any team they played if MEW could hit at least 50% of her shots. She was open almost every time she had the ball and all her shots were layups. But MEW had to settle for a mere 21 points with Pat McAfee scoring 13 and Margie Nolan scoring 7.

But AOB fought hard and though vigorous effort on all parts pulled out a 45 to 41 victory over AKO. Doing a great job on the boards and high "man" for the game was Mickie Sackett who scored 27 points. Following Mickie were Bee Rush with 7, Melissa Elm with 5, Peggy Studstill with 4, and Jean Smith with 2.

It was a game nobody would have wanted to miss. In fact, the game was so exciting that the referees stopped to watch the game. (The preceding statement is dedicated to Ronnie and Russell.)

The next game was Tuesday when the Indies met Kappa Phi Delta in a pretty exciting game.

It was a very low scoring game as was indicated by the 4 to 9 lead of the KO at half-time.

The first half was slow, neither team seemed able to do anything. Both teams fought hard but neither team going into double figures.

The second half looked better, K0 rallied and boosted their score from 9 to 24. Ann Martin scored 10 points for high points honors, Diane Hatch was right behind her with 9 points, Kathy Mashburn and Sally Broccoliere hit for 2 points each and Pam Zirkle hit a free throw.

The Indies could only up their 4 to a 15 though they really tried. Bobbie Harris and Shirley Robinson hit for 6 each, Jessie Richards hit for 2 and Gail McGaigley got 1 point.

The final score was, Indies 15, Kappa Phi Delta 24.

I would like to take this time

out to explain a few things for the stands. As most of you know, I am presently working the clock for the girls games and I have been getting some instructions from the stands.

First of all the only time the clock is turned off is when there is a jump ball, foul shot, end of quarter, and time out. If it goes out of bounds', or the refs call walking, double-dribble, etc. the clock does not stop! Thank You.

The next game was Delta Tau Delta vs. Beta Rho which was quite a contest. Beta Rho fought hard, but the Delts hung in there to not be completely overrun. The half-time score was 24 to 34 BP. The second half was even more exciting as the Delt's closed the ten point lead to 3. The final score 56 to 53 with BP as the Victors.

Scoring for the BPs were Bill McGough with 17, George Teel with 15, Russell Holden with 10, Mark Williams with 9 and Warren "Stick" Shelhorse with 5.

Delta Tau Delta's scorers were Greg Clapper with 16, Victor McDaniel, Kelly Larson, and Joe Fisher with 10 each, James Lee Garrett with 6 and Bobby Pinckard with 1.

Delta Tau Delta hit 17 out of 64 from the floor with Beta Rho hitting 21 out of 60.

From the line Beta Rho hit 14 out of 31 while Delta Tau hit 15 out of 25.

The next exercise period was Pi Kappa Phi vs. Indies. Pi Kapp beat 44 to 25.

Scoring for the Pi Kapp victors were Pug Hitt 15, Robert Wood 8, Joe Justice and Tony Fowler with 6 each.

Karlton Howard and Travis Herrington hit for the Indies with 10 and 9 respectively.

Due to insufficient data, mostly because of me, the Jan. 23 games will not be in this issue.

I would like to make a plea now. If there is anyone who would like to help me on sports, please let me know. It is a big job for one person to do and I would appreciate some help.

VARSITY SPORTS by Mark Williams

In this week's action, the Panthers lost games to

Hunt ingdon 80-65, Berry 77-67, and Montevallo 80-62. In all the games the Panthers let down in the second half. Luther Tison,

Rick Nasworthy, and Sid Smith did most of the scoring and rebounding in those games. The Panthers are still being bothered by excessive fouling and lack of depth. Against Huntingdon the opponents made 15 more free throws than LC, the difference is the game. It was much the same story against Berry and Montevallo, who attempted 22 free throws while LC attempted only eight.

It seems that the Panthers were a little out of condition in the last three games as they shot poorly from the field in the second half of all the games.

LC's record is now 4-13 for the season. The next home game will be Saturday against tough Valdosta State. Next Tuesday the Panthers will be out to avenge a loss suffered earlier by Mercer.
