Oct. 15; Viet Nam Moratorium

GREEK COUNCIL MEETING The meeting was called

to order by President Ken Keller. The first order of busi- ness was when bids are to go out for fall quarter. Several possible dates were discussed and it was agreed that "quiet week" would begin Sunday, November 2, and would last

until 10:00 P.M. Wednesday, November 5. when bids are to go out. The schedule is

as follows: bids are put up before 7:00 P.M. and at 7:00 Freshmen and transfer rushees will go and pick up their bids then return to their dorms.

At 10:00 P.M. they will go to any one Df the follow- ing places to accept their bids from the sorority or

fraternity of their choice. Beta Rho - new student center;

Sigma Nu Pi and Alpha Phi - Sigma Nu Pi house; Kappa Sigma and Kappa Phi - Simpson Room; P': Kappa Phi and Alpha Kappa Theta - Bailey room.

Last Wednesday, October 15, marked a day in winch millions of Americans all over the nation protested the Viet Nam war openly. At LaGrange College 73 stu- dents marched from the Hill down to the court square in the city. For some it was a serious occassion, for others ;t was just something to do. The march took about an

hour and may or may not have accomplished anything. The plans are for the Moratorium to take place next month for two days if troops are not pulled out of Viet Nam

and increase a day each month

that this is not done. Many of the students

went along for lack of some- thing else to do but many felt what they were doing was right and they believed it. At the court square several

Action by the President's Roundtable made possible a pool table and a ping pong table in the new student center. So far only the 12 and the 15 ball are missing.

Discussion was held

on the present rule of drinking Ed Frazier wanted to know what kind of stand the Greek Council would take if the Legislative Council tried to change the drinking rule. Ken Bosserman pointed out

the fact that the rules needed to be changed. Mr. Brooks Shelhorse, the advisor pointed out the fact, that this is a Methodist affiliated college and that there is really no possible way for Dr. Henry to go along with any change in the drinking rule. After much more discussion the group agreed that each sorority and fraternity had representa- tives to the Senate and would leave it up to them to make a change of the rules for the school.

The Homecoming float

idea was brought up and will be discussed at a called meeting October 22.

EDITORIAL The Judicial Council has come under

"^^k criticism during the past weeks as a result ^ W of faulty disciplinary action. For those who

do not fully understand the Judicial Coun- cil's function, it is to impose disciplinary action on students breaking CAMPUS re- gulations. The fault has been the giving of ridiculous restrictions of incidental breaking

of campus (?) regulations. The discipline thus given out this quarter by the Judicial Council has been more immature than the mis-conduct. Furthermore, cases have been reviewed which did not pertain to the campus. Since when does the Judicial Council pry into private lives of individuals offthe LaGrange College campus? What any person does with their own time off campus, as long as it is not in direct conflict with a stated rule, is their own business, not anyone else's.

^ Vl J I pie. fl I plight is one H I simi lar to ^H t\ the indepen- dent students but probably is more intense. The off-campus student makes up 33% of the student body of LC. And like the independent student, he has no formal representation in the student government. But he is required to pay his S14 per quarter or $178 for

four years to activities in which he has little or no voice. The activities which are supported and funded by the student activity fees are basically designed to benefit the dormitory student. The men's and women's athletic associations are really means to supply the dorm students with athletic equipment to occupy their free time. The two annual formal dances appeal mostly to the dorm student for they are built-in dating devices in the school social calendar. The activities involved in Homecoming and the Spring Formal are dominated by the fraternities and sorori- ties. The attendance at the various dances is very poor on a percentage of student body participation and even

the Greek Council must have required attendance at its Panhellenic Dance. But appro- ximately one-fourth of the student activities funds are spent on these dances.

It would be interesting to know how many off-campus students are involved in any of the aforementioned activities. The non-dorm student is primarily interested in an

nothing to him. And not until very recently was he even given any thought in the matter of priority of parking privileges on campus. No

one cares about planning any particular activities designed for his special benefit. He is not invited to assist in the decisions of the student government. But he is required and does pay the same tax as those for whom the activities are planned.

A social conscience would ask whether it is right for the poorer minority to support the richer majority.

I can tell you that I'm one of an underwhelm- ing minority of two (that's an inside joke to those around last year for Tilli). I am old enough to be the father of most of you. It took me a long time to find out what I had to do. I am a student pastor, serving Unity Methodist Church here in LaGrange. I knocked around this old world for twenty years before I found my calling. I am somewhat anti-college, but I have to go in order to satis- fy my church and reach my goal.

by twentieth century under- standing. I think the scriptures are God inspired in their origin and in their translation. And this doesn't mean just the King James Version. The Holy Spirit didn't die in the days of King James, he was still around to help with the Revised Standard and The New English . . . even the "Good News For Modern Man" felt his influence. I believe in sin and forgiveness. I

believe in judgement and grace. I believe in heaven and in hell. I don't claim to know much about either. Hell may be a place where all the beer glasses are made with the bottoms left out for all I know. Or where all the women

are frigid. Whatever it is, I just know I don't want to go, and I'm doing all I can to go the other way. And old friend used to say, "I a'nt so much askeered of hell, as I am anxious for heaven." I a'nt anxious to go nowhere but when I got to, I want to go where it's good. If that

makes me old fashioned and out of touch, so be it. I kinda

think I'll have the last laugh yet.

October 15. 1969

Dear Mr. Alvord:

I am concerned and some- what disturbed by your article en- titled "An Independent View", which appeared in the October 8, 1969 issue of "The Hilltop News". The reference to the Student Gov- ernment Association as a tyranni- cal organization seemed to be

quite a blatent and obtrusive charge.

Upon first reading your views I felt that perhaps I was not being objective enough. I have given myself a week to contemplate this matter and have come to the conclus- ion that I was indeed being open- minded and that you are very mislead in your beliefs,

If you will permit I would like to point out a particular instance where I feel you are either ignorant of or have purposely distorted the facts. The theme of your article seems to be that less than half of the student are represented by the Student Govern- ment Association. You contend that because a member of the Legislative or Judicial Council may also be a member of a particular fraternity or sorority this automatically prevents him from serving in an unbiased manner. This is comparable to those who in the Election of 1960 cried out that, if elected, John F. Kennedy would be servant of the Pope and not of the people. History has shown that this was a very narrow-minded approach.

I would like to say although I am a member of a fraternity that I sincerely feel that when I act as President of the Student body I represent all the students, not any particular faction or group. I really believe this would apply to all of the members of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Councils.

By no means am I trying to dis-

courage you from your attempts at muck- raking. Let me make it explicit that I support you as long as your facts are correct and not distorted. I do not feel that this was the case last week.

Sincerely,

Ed Frazier President, Student Government Association

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS This is representative of 14 other letters received last week. Ed.

Mr. Menge, I would stongl y advise that you keep in strictest confi- dence the name of the English major who "properly cor- rected (?) the letter by Charles Stevens in the October 15

issue of the Hilltop News, doubtless this person has caused great embarrassment to his major department by this display of his gross igno- rance of the use of commas.

You may print this letter, and if you wish, submit it to your "authority" for correction. If you refuse to print it, I shall send a copy to the Circle K that they may post it on their bulletin board.

Sincerely,

Cheryl Akins

FOR WHAT

IT'S WORTH

This is good advice week. To clue you in on how to really make points with certain members of the faculty here

are some sure fire winners:

Say to Mr. Doster, "All string

quartets sound alike to me."

To Dr. Naglee, "Well, almost

all string quartets sound alike."

To Mike Searcy, "Have you ever though of trying to be subtle with your humor."

To Mr. Freeman, "If only you didn't come on so strong."

To Mrs. Williams, "Personally I think flunking 102 is a sign of character."

To Dr. McCook, "I think Old

Testament is crip, and your tests are easy."

To Col. Hunt, "Guten Morgan

(at 3:00 PM), Herrn Hunt, Du bist der Bahnlof."

And When The Dust Settled

The scene: LaGrange College Athletic Field, 4:00 P.M. Tuesday October 14, 1969. Weather conditions were per- fect with the temperature ranging in the middle sevenites. This was the big, big, BIG day! The long awaited con- frontation of two of the most powerful teams in the Southeast;

the mighty Green Wave of Kappa Sigma and the flamboyant Blue and Gold Raiders of Pi Kappa Phi. This game was practically do or die for Kappa Sigma and they knew it. Spirits were high and tension was mounting as the two teams took to the field, both quite fired up.

The Green Wave, win- ning the toss of the coin, had elected to receive. Kick- ing with a small breeze at his back, big Sage Gordy's experienced toe put the ball out of the end zone. The ball

was taken out to the 15. and the fired up Kappa Sig offense took to the field against an equally fired up Raider defense. From here, starting quarter- back Ronnie Mason very

masterfully moved the ball downfieldl with power sweeps to the left and right sides. Suddenly the ball changed hands and the Raiders began moving it in the other direction Sage unloaded the bomb to rangy end Pug Hitt, only to

be intercepted by Italian im- port Ronald "Brock" Broccoliere who returned it to the Pi Kapp 9 yard line. Here it appeared as though the Green Wave might score, but the effort was futile. The half ended with the score Pi Kappa Phi 0, Kappa Sigma 0.

The two teams came back onto the field, both ready for more action. The crowd was going wild! Kappa Sig was now kicking off to the Raiders. The sky thundered and the clouds parted as George Courtwright, no relation to Hoss, put the pigskin out of the end zone. Pi Kapp brought the ball out to the 15 and proceeded to march down field. Tight end Robert Wood, standing just under 8 feet tall ran a down and in

pattern to the corner and scored the first touchdown of the game. Point after failed.

The Pi Kapps kicked off as the ball sailed out of the end zone again. Kappa Sig took the ball from the 15 and began moving down- field. The Raider defensive line was putting a fierce rush on scrambling Ronnie Mason. Mason fired the bomb, but the bottom fell through. With quickness and agility Ed Wages intercepted the ball at the 30 yard line and ran it in for the score. Point after failed again as it did all day. Score now was Raiders 12, Green Wave 0.

Pi Kappa Phi again kicked off to Kappa Sigma. Sage again put the ball into the end zone. Unlike the previous kickoffs, big Joe Freeman elected to run the ball out and the battle was on! As the dust cleared he had taken the ball out to the 15 where it would have been if he had downed it in the end zone, tee hee. Kappa Sig was now determined to score, but a hard charging Raider defense halted their drive with extreme pressure put on quarterback "Broadway" Ronnie. The ball was again picked off by cornerback "Coach" Ralph Sims and returned to the Green Wave

20 yard line. Tension was at a peak as Sage Gordy power- ed his way over with the quarterback sneak behind the hard driving line of Mike Zimmerman, Jim Daniel, and Larry "Foxie" Fox. The score

was now Raiders 18, Green Waves 0.

With 14 plays left Kappa Sig took the ball from the 15 (Joe downed it in the end zone this time) and ground

out the yardage' to the Pi Kapp 20. Here . is where the ball game ended. A last desperate attempt by Kappa Sig to get on the scoreboard had failed. The final score of the game was Pi Kapp 18, Kappa Sig 0. From the appearance of the score one would think that it was a rather one-sided affair. But those who witnessed and played in the game realize that it was a tight game played by two closely matched teams.

Raiders Win Number 5

As Thursday rolled around, the game was between Sigma Nu Pi and Pi Kappa Phi. At the outset of this game Sigma Nu had a 2-2 record and Pi Kapp was 4-0.

Sigma Nu opened up the game with a drive which began on their own 15 and terminated on the Pi Kapp

6 yard line. James Lee Garret took a short pass and weaved his way between the defenders to the thrill of the Sigma Nu fans and the anguish of the Raider fans. There he was downed on a fine play by Nickie Simpson, saving the touchdown. As Sigma Nu was unable to score the Raiders took the bal I and before the half was over, had scored twice. Both were on passes to Robert Wood and Pug Hitt respectively- The score at the half was Pi Kappa Phi 12, Sigma Nu Pi 0.

In the second half there was only one touchdown scored (now | ^0 not remem. ber). One thing which seems to be the "bugerman" of the season is again the extra point. The Raiders of Pi Kappa Phi were not able to score an extra point in the last two games but were able to keep the undefeated status.
