The School For Husbands Combined Song And Dance

BY AMELIA McKOY Two brothers, appointed as

the guardians of-beautiful girls, decide upon very different ways of providing for their young ch- arges in the LaGrange College production of Arthur Guiterman and Lawrence Langner's "Sc- hool for Husbands," an adapta- tion in rhyme, with ballet and song, of Moliere's 17th century comedy, "L'ecole des Ma- rts.'

Ariste the optimist gives his ward, played by Diane Wilson, freedom to choose whom she will, but Sganarelle the pes- simist, intending to marry his ward, has her guarded to as- sure her faithfulness. Mark Jo- hnson, in the lead role of Sg- anarelle, and Noble Shropshire as Artiste gave very good per- formances.

Sganarelle's ward, brilliant- ly played by Rosemary Neely, is attracted to a persistent ad- mirer, well-played by Mike Bak- er. She succeeds in tricking Sg- anarelle into giving his per- mission for her marriage to the young man. Hans Rasmussen gave an excellent performance as the helper in arranging the lovers' marriage and as pur- suer of Lisette, played by Sh- erri Chadwick.

Other members of the cast included Jimmy Matthews, Dot- tie Flanders, Sidney Johnston, Trip McCord, Buddy McTur- eous, Chip Fortenberry, Kathy Boddie, June Hinely, Larry Kin- sman, and Billy Joe Hyatt.

This ambitious production bl- ended action, song, and dance to create an impressive performance. The singing of Rose- mary Neely and Mike Baker was especially outstanding, and 'the fledgling orchestra's performance was surprisingly good.

Shelter Plans Made Known

The LaGrange Chamber of Commerce says that this city has an excellent geographical location in relation to the rest of the state should we receive a nuclear attack.

But what of LaGrange College situated in the heart of this location. If the attack comes to Atlanta we would have approximately forty-five minutes warning before any radiation reached here. This would give ample time to distribute the students to the three Civil De- fense approved shelters on campus located in the dining hall, Turner Hall and the library. Food supplies would also be moved from the dining hall to the designated areas during this time lapse.

The shelter located in the basement of the cafeteria has space for 83 students. There is enough space for 148 people in the shelter in Banks Library and room for 96 students in the basement of Turn- er Hall.

The administration and faculty are concerned with the shelter situation here at the college and are developing plans which would be used in case of emergency. In this connec- tion several faculty members are currently taking courses in radiation monitoring and as soon as the course if finished the Civil Defense authorities will install monitoring equipment on the campus. All three of the shelters mentioned above- have been fully approved by Ci- vil Defense after extensive sur- veys.

Students Respond To New Horizons Of VISTA

Washington, D.C. -VISTA Volunteers In Service To Amer- ica •• this month launched a full scale effort to recruit college students for active service in the nationwide war against poverty.

A major part of this administration's antio - proverty program, VISTA is sending its re- cruiting staff to colleges and universities across the nation. Upon invitation, recruiters will tell students of the opportunity VISTA offers for personal par- ticipation in the struggle to eliminate the poverty engulfing one - fifth of the nation's pop- ulation.

Often described as the Peace Corps at home, VISTA is seeking men and women over 18 who are willing to give a year of their talents and energies to help the poor help themselves. VISTA Volunteers will live and work with the poverty - strick- en in migrant laborer camps, Indian reservations, urban slums, rural areas, and instit- utions for the physically handi- capped, mentally ill and mentally retarded.

Current plans call for 5,000 Volunteers to be selected,train- ed, and assigned to local pro- jects throughout the United States and its Territories during 1965. By January 18,Sar- gent Shriver, Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity, has announced the assigment of 239 VISTA Volunteers to pro- jects in 20 states.

VISTA has received applications from over 6,000 Ameri- cans volunteering to combat poverty and its efforts. Many of these applications* are from younger people.

Glenn Ferguson, Director of VISTA, said that all college students are eligible to be Vo- lunteers. A sampling of corres- pondence of VISTA headquar- ters shows that many under- graduates think that a year of such practical experience will be a valuable asset when they return to complete studies. As a Volunteer, students may dis- cover a career in nursing, teaching, social work, social welfare or other public pro- grams.

Panthers To Meet Braves In The Last Game Of Season

BY HAROLD TARPLEY Tonight the LaGrange Pan-

thers meet the West Georgia Braves for the second time this season. The Braves have revenge in mind after the Pan- thers handed them a defeat earl- ier in the season. At West Georgia fans saw the Panthers win by a score of 94—65 .

Since that time West Geor- gia has improved. They have de- feated Piedmont and Berry.

Brave David Brookins is the top rebounder and leading scorer in the conference. Last year he was the number one rebounder. This year he has improved his shooting and now leads the GIC with an average of 18.9 points per game. He has a rebound average of 14.4.

Previous scoring leader and last year's best is Hugh Cor- less, LaGrange's sharp shooting forward. Tonight the two sharp shooters meet and the best may be decided.

West Georgia also has the number six scorer in Jim Jackson who has a 14.5 average. Other Braves incude John Christopher who holds the number nine spot in conference scoring with a 13-point average. Chuck Miller is anotr<*i* man to be careful with. He has an

Speaker Talks About His Work

BY TOM C ASTON A A news release last week

described Dr. Jothan John- son as a balance of scholar and working archaelogist, and our guest has shown him- self to be all these and more. I met with him in his room, more accurately, his office, where he was busy refining our ialphabet.1

In the course of an improptu conversation, Dr. Johnson explained that though his "job" is basically to teach Latin and Greek, and to serve on arch- aeological expeditions, he is seriously involved in the reas- sessment of the very inefficient English alphabet.

Martyrdom Unnecessary At LaGrange

BY NANCY HAMMETT I am often concerned when I

am pondering over the editorial page, and considering what subject matter will fill its limits. Is this information useful to the students? Do they need to know this?

After considering these things I say to you strongly, "Don't cut chapel." The con- sequences of overcutting are very serious — suspension for the following quarter. Many students feel that these consequ- ences are too severe to fit the crime. I do not intent to fight that battle here. I wish only to say to you that this quarter is coming to its end, and each quarter, (since the new attendance regulations were passed) several students have

been suspended for overcutting chapel.

If you have taken two or three of. your allotment of three cuts, I hope that your health is very good for the remainder of the quarter and you are not forced to miss another chapel session. Or if you have taken your three cuts and intend to take another one just to "show them," your memory will i live at LC for about two days. "What hap- pened to old Johft?" "Oh, he was the rebel who was going to force a change of the chapel' rules."

There may be need for a change in these rules. If we want a change, we should seek the proper channels through which to achieve it. Don't be a foolish martyr. The Hilltop News needs all its readers.

Those Noisey Boys BY NANCY HAMMETT

As I sat in my room con- tentedly listening to the sooth- ing, enchanting voice of Andy Williams, my poor ear drums were irritated by some noise from outside my room.

Everyone recognizes the irri- tating sounds of someone scrat- ching his fingernails across a blackboard, filing his nails, pop- ping gum or grinding away on a bag of popcorn. These grating noises multiplied by some in- finite term would properly de- scribe my state of distraction.

I must confess that my ears can not discriminate between the clangor made by the Roll- ing Stones, Kinks or the Zom- bies etc. The cacophony I pre- viously mentioned came from one of these groups.

One strange thing about the music of these modern singing and instrumental groups (I re- fer to ensembles that usually consist of two or three electric

guitars, a small organ and drums) is that their clamor can only be appreciated when the volume is as loud as possible. Being utterly disturbed by this loud noise one can take any of several courses of action- put cotton in his ears, plunge his head, ostritch style, under the nearest available pillow, or run screaming from the dorm. Being the 'quiet, retiring type I took the second course of action.

Most twentieth century people by necessity have great tolerance. Even though I feel that my tolerance is average, these noise makers are ruin- ing my percentile rating. My downfall came when I heard that the traditional three B's (Bach, Beethoven, and Bra- hms) had been recounted and the result was four B's— John, Paul, George and Ringo—The Beatles. Scream ! Sigh!

$$$ Ever wondered where your

$500 a quarter is going? This seems like a lot of money until you find where it goes.

According to the annual report of the president the proposed budget for the 1964-65 year is $849,988.00. This proposed budget includes all of the salaries of the faculty, staff, and the administration. It also includes all general maintenance and general upkeep, ser- vices to the students, and edu- cational aids.

The proposed budget, accord, ing to Austin P. Cook, Jr. Business Manager, is broken down in the followingmanner: 53.8 percent for instruction (faculty salaries and departmental expenses), 38 percent for ser- vices to students (food and hous- ing) and 8 percent for general ground maintenance.

It should be "noted that, according to Cook, the tuition and fees of the students are paying only 62.6 percent of the total instructional cost of the school. The remaining 37.4 percent of the instructional cost comes from endowoments, gifts, grants, and other sources.

A large portion of the outside income of the school comes from our endowment. The endowment with a market value of over $3,000,000 is invested by the investment committee of the Board of Trustees. The income from these investments is used but since none of the prin- ciple is spent, the school has a continuing income from this source.

There is also a living endowment which is not an investment fund but is made up of gifts from the alumni and is spent annually.

Many gifts and grants are used in the form of scholarships to aid students in certain cate- gories.

Many students compare the price of private schools to the price of state schools, but fre- quently these students compare the tuition of the state schools to the total cost of private schools including room and board. When we compare different schools we should al- ways be sure what we are com- paring.

When we stop to realize how much it costs of run a private school and where this money goes we shouldn't mind quite as much digging out that $500 per quarter.

Confetti... BY MIKE CHRISTENSEN

Some of the girls in Smith, apparently frustrated over not having a swimming pool on campus, flooded their shower. As a result we've had a bit of a storm in the News office. . .1 say, ol'man, move that bucket a bit, eh!

There have been murmurings that one of the local radio sta- tions (vague, man, vague-ed.) doesn't really have a Wheel of Fortune, just a tape which they play. . .1 wouldn't hazard a gu- ess.

We'd have forty-five minutes to reach one of the three fallout shelters on campus In the event that Atlanta gets bom- bed. . .ummmmm. . .what if they miss. . .

The girls have done it again, compadres. Yessir, they've gone to another dance at Fort Benning, ah well. . .

The Troup County Board of Commissioners met last week (Avanti, and all that) to consi- der the possible sale of beer in the county, well mein Fre- und, these sales are legal in incorporated towns but not in the county itself. Confused? Th- ought so.

My vote is for a traffic light on the Mulsanne Straight in front of Turner Hall. From the speed of things LC must be sending a team to LeMans this year.

Dr. Johnson explained that the purpose of his tour as well as the number of similar Dan- : forth series (Including various fields of study) is to present small colleges with a first- hand opportunity to hear noted experts discuss their parti- cular, specialized area of study. The enthusiastic student re- action to these two days of lectures hasHndicated a sincere appreciation for the level of cultural enrichment ordinarily limited to major universities.

A Communist

On Campus (ACP) •• A record - breaking

crowd of 1,500 Ventura College students alternately hissed, ap- plauded, booed and interrupted an assembly speech by Dr. Gyorai Durakovitch - Nyetski, political education writer for the Communist newspaper Pra- vda.

"Soviet newspapers are good for the country," declared the speaker, as quoted in PIRATE PRESS, newspaper on the Ven. tura, Calif., campus. He point- ed out that they built up So- viet civilization by printing stories about increased production, new industries and de- velopments in health, the arts and education. On the other hand, he said, American newspapers were a business where "the capitalist owner makes a dime profit from human agony."

Dr. Durakovitch - Nyetski said the first morning class at a Russian university is one on Communism, which he called "the true theory of history which gives a floor plan for the successful building of society."

Religion in the Soviet Union is simple, he said, since "there is no God nor a Christian or Mohammedan heaven. Priests tell the people that the more you suffer today the bigger the heaven tomorrow. The foolish people believed it until 1917. But there's just one plane of existence, so we must build our heaven on earth today."

On economics, the doctor said there are four levels of economics: indivdual work where a family makes and uses all its own commodities, capitalism, socialism and Communi- sm. Each is good in its time and place. The trouble in America is that the time and the place for capitalism is past and "A Socialist revolution will come and throw off your shackles."

At this point,interrupted by angry comments from the audience, the speaker revealed he was George Valiotes, history teacher turned propaganda ex- pert and lecturer who offers the Communist point of view only to stir his audience to raise the question "What can we do?" His reply: "Build a better America."
