ROY ORBISON AT LC It has been announced by the Student Entertainment Com- mittee that the pop singer Roy Oribson and his Candy Men will appear at LC's Home- coming '64 on October 31st In the announcement it was pointed out that this is a first for LaGrange College. If it is a success there will definitely be other such top names appear- ing here. Because the cost of such a name as this is to high, the dance will be open to the citizens of LaGrange. It is felt though that this fact will make the event that much more of a success. Tickets are to go on sale Monday at $3.00 stag of $4.50 a couple. All tickets will be handled through the Student En- tertainment Committee. Mr. Roy Orbison is presently the Number One singer in the United States. He is also listed as Number One in England and Australia. His current hit on the charts is "Pretty Women." Also on the charts is his "It's Over." Oribson is not only a singer, but also a successful song •writer. He has written a number of his hits. But as a singer he has had 10 gold records which sold 1,000,000 each, in addition to drawing 'standing room only' audiences at public appearances in every state of the U.S. and Canada. "Right now," says Jim Mc- Connell of the Acuff-Rose Ar- tist Corp., "Orbison is in as big demand as any artist with whom I have ever been asso- ciated. We are very selective in adding dates to his ori- ginal commitments." Orbison first broke into the pop music charts with his "Oooby Dooby " in 1956.

EDITORIALS

Another Step Forward On the 31st of this month Mr. Roy Or bison will

be here for Homecoming, '64. Having a popuar singer such as this is a first not

only for LC but also for the City of LaGrange. Right now this singer is not only Number One

in the nation but also Number One in all of the In- ternational popular music polls.

For a number of years now LC has often asked why it could not have name singers and bands here. This question has finally been answered in the form of Mr. Roy Orfoison.

The Hilltop News thanks and commends the peo- ple that made this answer possible: Dr. Waights G. Henry; the Trustees of LC; Mrs. Carolyn Burgess, Director of Alumni Activities; and to Dr. Michael Brown, President of LC's Alumni.

This is a real step forward for LaGrange Col- lege.

Again, THANKS! ! !

A Continued Tradition Ratting ended Saturday in LaGrange's Court

Square. The Hilltop News thinks that the Sophomores

were probably just as glad that it was over as the Freshmen, for everyone seemed completely exhaust- ed.

On the whole, everyone seemed to have had a good time. Of course there were the songs, init4tions, letters, shampooes, make-up jobs, costumes, and many other ''stunts."

But perhaps "the worst is yet to come" didn't come after all.

Freshmen have experienced a part of the life on the "Hill", and the memories will live with them for years to come.

Next year will be their turn to change the "r" for rat to "c" for cat, and no doubt they will experi- ence the problems along with the fun.

It is up to you, the Freshmen class, to carry on the tradition.

Democrats Also Welcome The Hilltop News has announced the coming of

Senator Strom Thurmond, who, cf course, now is a Republican.

The paper takes this opportunity to state that it will be happy to provide equal space to a personage of the Democratic Party if one is obtained to speak at LC.

The administration has also stated to The Hill- top News that it heartily welcomes anyone from the Democratic Party to visit at LC.

Professors May Dismiss Classes If Desired

The following statement was released by Dr. Waights G. Henry, President of LaGrange College, concerning excusing classes to hear Senator Strom Thurmond on Friday, Octo- ber 16th; "When Mr. Strom Thurmond visits LaGrange he is welcome to this campus as is any other visitor. Because of his distinction as a parti-

san in politics we especially welcome him to hear his news."

"If he arrives on campus prior to 10:00 a.m., professors are at liberty to release their classes to hear him, provided the individual professor's and their classes wish to do so. The Dean concurs in this posi- tion."

A Busy Campus: AnEventfulMonth

LaGrange College in the next few weeks is really going to be a busy campus. As announced on the front page, Senator Strom Thurmond of South Car- olina is scheduled to visit the

iLC campus I Friday week and then to highlight LC's Homecoming, Roy Orbison, the number one name in pop music ri-

| ght now, will be here on October 51st.

Senator Strom Thurmond is a name of much prominence famously or infamously as the case may be, after recently changing his party affiliation. Although his visit to LC is a purely political one, we on the hill should feel honored that LaGrange College is included on his tour through the South.

Roy Orbison, as we mention- ed before the number one sound across the country, has been ob- tained to to take the spotlight in this year's Homecoming. Mr. Orbison's crowning, added to the many other Homecoming '64's activities, should make this the most outstanding Home- coming LaGrange College has ever had.

The fact that names such as these can and will be on the LaGrange College campus is one more bit of evidence to show that LC is once more on the move to make it one of the best known liberal arts schools in the South.

Communists Are Blamed For Almost Everything

The Warren Commission re- port on the assassination of President Kennedy has finally been released and, as was ex-

pected, it came up wilh nothing new. It point- ed out that Os- wald acted a- lone in his slaying of Ken- nedy, and it said that Jack

[Ruby was like- Iwise acting on

cwn when he slew Oswald. This must be a great disappoi- ntment to those who like to blame things on the Commun- ists.

I'm not taking up for the Communists, but it has always been interesting to me how peo- ple are so anxious to put the blame on someone else.

Ox/ey Talks of

Roy Orbison By Dca.i 0.:;y

Student Homecoming Chairman

Homecoming for 1934 isfast- approching • just 3'/2 weeks away. This year's homecoming 'Homecoming 1964" - promis- es to be the biggest, the best, and the most entertaining that this college campus has ever wittnesed.

Last year's Homecoming Highlight was the first annual Homecoming Parade. This year's. Homecoming High- light will be a bigger and bet- ter innovation • the Homecoming Dance featuring the nations No 1 top singer, Roy Orbison and his Candy men.

This type entertainment is a 'first" on the LaGrange col-

lege campus but will not be the last. The success of the 1964 Homecoming depends upon you and the enthusism that you offer.

SGA Vice President

Hitchcock On Homecoming'64

BY TiED HITCHCOCK LaGrange College has many

deep traditions flowing from her past and one of her newest is Homecoming. Today it is looked forward to as one of the high- lights of Fall quarter on "the

r hill". But each H year Homecom- J ing brings forth (j; the unusual (and "* sometimes val-

I id) objections I concerning the

f& style of music on JBthe lack of a

big-name band on the campus. Students laugh at the idea of getting celebrity to perform here but this year it is different.

As you know. Roy Orbison has been engaged for a concert- dance here for our 1964 Home- coming on October 31st. It took much planning to arrange this and Ihe cost of obtaining the "number one" singer in the

nation was high — so this a costly and formidable endeavor.

To ensure the success of this young enterprise, and the mat- uring plans for other such con- certs — we must promote this dance as open and charge ad- mission. The price for admis- sion is very fair and as nomin- al as possible and to be sure; no profit will be made. Prices

, are set at $3.00 stag and $4.50 a couple and a capacity crowd is hoped for.

To charge admission for our Homecoming dance is a new "twist," but after much consi- deration it was decided that the chance for success was great and that LC students deserve to hear only the best. This led to the choice of Roy Orbison for Homecoming 1964, and if he gets the response we hope he will, then another new "tra- dition" will be started at La- Grange.

We Have Choice In This Election

BY JOHN LANTZ BUSINESS MANAGER

It has been said that we have a real choice in the presidential election this year. And this is most assuredly true. The can- didates are so different they are not even campaigning on the same political questions.

Senator Bar- ry Goldwater's campaign is based on his belief that the U. S. is really in trouble and needs to revert to the past. President Ly- ndon Johnson

quietly goes about fulfilling his duties as President and calmly ignores the rash statements and accusations of his opponent.

The President seems to be campaigning with the idea that we, the American people, are satisfied with their present way of life; not completely conten- ted but looking to the future for improvements rather than looking to the past for outmoded ideas and methods. In Ameri- ca's past there was slavery, economic monopolies and sev- eral wars including World War I and World War II.

■We can have a recurrence of these social, economic and war- like attitudes with Goldwater as President or we can look to the future with President John- son who gives us hope for to- morrow and assurance that the government will change with the needs of the people.

Yes, America has a real cho- ice in '34.

disillusioned at first, because they did't respond. There was a little interval where they had time to think, along with the sophomores. This interval really helped. For the last three days they acted like we wanted them too. The only set-back was that they knew too much. Next year we don't want this to happen. The whole opinion of the girls has changed and we were real pleased with how they responded, although 20-25 girls missed because of sickness."

There seems to have been very few boys, if any, who were opposed to rattting, Dean Haw- thorne of Tampa, Florida, had this to say. "I'm all for it, because I think it gives the Freshman class in particular a chance to show their class spirit. I think the boys are

taken it well and have really enjoyed it It kind of throws you in with other people, and it helps pull the Freshman class together as a group."

Perhaps the comment of Vi- vian Johnsey, Cartersville, Georgia, best illustrates the first impression of many of the girls. "I didn't like it a first, but now I think it's a good idea. It's a good way of getting oriented with college and college life, and getting to know the upperclassmen. Al- so, I think it creates unity with- in your own class."

On closing, here is a com- ment from Dean Sullivan. "Ratting is over, and there are a number of us who are relieved it is in the past. It is an exhausting experience for both the freshmen and the soph- omores; however it may be a very valuable one for both. It may not. No doubt it is val-

Campus Meeting Times Assigned

A schedule for meetings of the various campus organi- zations was released last week from the dean of student's office.

In releasing this schedule, Mr. Sullivan, Dean of Students said, "We have tried to set aside time for your organiza- tion in order that your members will not have conflicting meetings at the same time. This is protected time."

Mr. Sullivan also emphasized that in order for the system to work it is vital that each or- ganization cooperate complete- ly.

Mr. Sullivan also mentioned the following points; the most extreme circumstances if a

group feels a change is necessary, a request can be made to the Student Affairs Committee through his office; meetings may be called at a time when no other group is meeting; all college functions such as concerts, lectures, etc., where attendance for all students is encouraged or re- quire will take precedence over any scheduled meeting time; and that if a group wants their meeting shown on the weekly calendar, the informa- tion must be in the dean of students office by Thursday afternoon.

This chart shows the times assigned to the various groups to hold their meetings.

uable to some more than to others."

"As I see it at the moment, the continuance of ratting at LaGrange College is perhaps in _a very questionable state. Not only has there been some evidence of poor sports- manship in the ranks of both groups, but there is some ques- tion a? to whether all that has been uone is in good taste."

"Of course, there is the other side. Many have truly enjoyed going through ratting. Upper- classmen, with whom I have talked, have said that it is "great", and that nothing can take the place of ratting on the hill. They see it as some- thing which has had real mean- ing for them. I have no doubt that they really mean what they say."

"Unfortunately, in any group there are persons who will go too far. This can be due to a number of reasons. Some get completely carried away with the whole process, become overly zealous and do not al- ways show good judgment."

"Most of the students in both groups are to be highly com- mended for the way they have conducted themselves. Both the rat master and rat mistress have had a job which demands a great deal of them. In my opinion, they have given of them- selves tirelessly, as have many of their cohorts who have earn- estly tried to make this ratting period a success."

"It is difficult to be objective in an evaluation of ratting while it is still going on. I do not know if ratting will or will not continue in the years to come at LaGrange College. We will need to examine it very carefully when we can look back over it. This is something I hope we will be willing to do as student groups working with and through the Student Affairs Committee of the faculty."

It* was then brought up that C arisen had taken all of the Council's stationery and re- cords with her. Tillison ap- pointed Rose Brand to write C arisen and ask her to return these items.

The meeting was then adjourned.

There was some discussion as to the inconvenience of this time and Tillison said he would try to arrange a better time.

The Council then discussed the problem of electing a new secretary. Judy Carlsen, who was the elected secretary, did not return this quarter.

It was decided that the Exe- cutive Council of the SGA should select four nominees from the student body and to offer those names to the Legislative Coun- ciL The Council will then elect one of these people SGA sec- retary by secret ballot.

Intramurals Begin Today Goblins Facing Sigma Nu

By John Carter NEWS SPORTS WRITER

Football intramurals is about to start with the first two games this week. Tuesday Gamma Phi takes on Sigma Nu. This should be a very exciting game, for the Goblins are the defending champions and would like very much to do it again this year.

Thursday Pi Delt will meet Sigma Nu for another thriller. Last year Pi Delt finished se- cond in foot-ball intramurals and would like very much to take the title away from the Goblins.

This year the rules have been changed to some extent. Instead of touch football the fraternities will be playing flag football. This will prove to be a much more exciting game because there can be more ground Play.

In the past, passing was the main objective. This year the season should be tougher and rougher because the running offense.

It is hard to predict a winner with the running game but I feel that Pi Delt will have the running speed this year. Gamma Phi will have the

passing team and sigma Nu should come up with some hidden horses to touch off the season.

Everyone please come down and support your team to victory.
