SIX DAYS DOES NOT A WEEK MAKE OR NEVER ON SUNDAY

Now, you understand I'm not one to gossip, but when

my editor asked or rather beg- ged me to write this.column I literally jumped at the chance.

The purpose of my column is simply to inform the public through this printed media of all vital matters that will inter- est any student both at home and abroad. Simple? No, never simple, always involved with world issues that will astound the face of the world, intimi- date the universe, and shock the city of LaGrange.

Knowing all the full and' extending boundaries of my

abilities-of writing , that is-I knew that I would be the one to revamp the entire literary world; and since I have a ra- ther strange memory for the absurd or things that will al- ways be of use in any need of blackmail, I took the job with open ears.

It has come to my attention that certain campus officials have been purchasing blanket search warrants. Well, I think this is terrible. It is bad enough when one must make up one's bed every day, let alone having visitors...uninvited and unwan- ted, roaming about through one's personals. For shame. Al- though the officials have de- nied such low carrying-ons, just like the White House, I have been told by reliable sources to the contrary. I advise all

students, both male and fe- male, not to leave their rooms for any so-called house meet-

ings, mandatory or other-wise. Make the higher ups come to you. Heaven knows, one pays enough rent to have Doris Day come in twice a week.

A certain "campus" gentle- man has been sulking in his room over a romance that end- ed months ago. Seems he wants her back, but the lady has opened a new window.

A certain friend of mine.was heartbroken that her induction did not come in time for the parties.

Clay Calhoun has donated a pot of gerraniums to La- Grange College, founded in 1831. They are to be placed a- round the patio after his death. No doubt they will be beau- u-u-tiful.

If you see a very well-dress- ed sixteen-year-old boy around campus, be nice to him. That's our new history professor.

The Green Mist and the Blue Fog have combined their efforts and formed the Red Smog. We hear that a storm is brewing.

A certain congenial campus lovely has lost as the Pimento Cheese Queen but has won the Ripe Olive Contest of this Val- ley. Welcome home, Princess.

It seems the dynamic duo of the alaphabet set have split. We never see them lunching to- gether. Much was said concern- ing certain ethnic groups the

jay the bread was broken. Several flower children have

been seen blooming around the town and mostly in the coun- ty.

MARINES The Marine Officer Selec-

tion Team will be on campus November 15, 1967, in. the Student Center to interview eligible college men for com- missions in the Marine Corps.

Freshmen, sophomores and juniors may qualify for enroll- ment in the Platoon Leaders Class, while seniors and recent graduates may enroll in the Officer Candidate Course.

The candidates attend two sessions of six weeks each dur- ing summer vacations. The ses- sions eliminate campus drills or classes during the school year.

Time spent in summer train- ing sessions counts toward pay and promotions. Upon comple- tion of the two summer ses- sions and graduation from col- lege, the candidates receive a commission as Marine Corps Officers.

Seniors and graduates may receive their commission by successfully completing one 10 week screening period follow- ing graduation. Under either the PLC or OCC programs, a candidate may elect to apply for Marine flight training.

SECOND FRONT A Review by Tom Turner

Wednesday night the Speech

and Drama department presented

a preview performance of William

Gibson's The Miracle Worker. The

compelling story about Helen Kel-

ler tells of Helen's childhood and

the sickness that left her both

blind and deaf, and continues

through the time of her lessons

with Annie Sullivan. Miss Sullivan is realistically

played by Judy Frazer. Miss

Frazer does not merely appear on

stage; she adorns it. She moves

with grace in the tenderest scenes

with Helen and she stalks with

stride in the most intruding scenes

with Captain Keller.

Miss Frazer is the actress she l appears to be, in her walk, speech

and mannerisms. She is, for two

and one-half hours, Annie Sul-

livan, a woman who has once

been blind, known sorrow, fear despair, and now love through

teaching a deaf-blind girl.

Miss Frazer never falters; her

character is solid and embedded

within her person. Miss Margaret Lunsford gives

a stunning performance of Helen,

a spoiled, untamed hellion of a

child who is brought under con-

trol by her teacher, Annie. Miss

Lunsford speaks not one verbal

line; any she can be heard as loud

as nay member of the cast, in-

cluding Captain Keller. At first appearance, she looks

like a grown-up Raggedy Ann doll with pinafore and stockings. A closer examination reveals her to be a child struggling for life itself, involved not in the fantasy world of dolls but in the reality of growth that will not come.

Miss Lunsford plays a very difficult role with ease, taking falls when they come. To with- stand the emotional impact of Helen's role lakes a great actress, and that she is. She proves it with every physical movement.

Trip McCord as Captain Keller comes on slow, but ends with a terrific impact as he establishes an important emotional founda- tion of the play. As Helen's father McCord gives a stern, masculine, convincing performance. His man- ner, however, seems much too or- ganized and stylistic, giving no freedom to impulse. It is cer- tainly rehearsed, but it well de- picts a stiff Southern confederate Captain.

Successful "Miracle

Judy Frazer as Annie Sullivan, and Margaret Lunsford as Helen Keller in THE MIRACLE WORKER

As Helen's mother. Miss Susan Montgomery shows great promise for the theatre. She is warm, gen- tle, and concerned, when called for. While many of her lines were automatic, her stage pre- sence is emphatic and meaningful. Miss Montgomery is an ideal Kate Keller.

Noble Shropshire, as James Keller, plays a misunderstood son unable to communicate with his father. It is interesting to view and to be a part of the battle that James finally wins. At the end of the play Shropshire gets the chance to do some real act- ing that makes one almost con- sider his role a major character.

Miss Marianne Clarkson fin- ally gets the chance to show LaGrange College the fine actress she has always been.-A small role is vividly brought to life in form

and color, as she portrays Aunt Ev.

Mr. Wallace Staff, as Mr. Anagnos, debutes in his first role at LaGrange. His accent is heavy and sometimes hard to follow yet his appearance is that of an elderly Greek, thin and bearded.

Miss Alfreda Burrow as Viney adds a light touch to the play, with a delightful characterization of the Keller's maid.

The setting is fragmentary and simple, effective in composition and clarity. Credit here goes to the designer of the play, Miss Marilyn McKay, who has allowed the staging to cut through time and space as it accomodates va- rious places. Her set is compli- mentary to the actors without causing them to be its comple- ment.

The lighting seems to be some- what symbolic of Helen's blind-

ness. The evening scenes were hazy, filled with shadows and more shadows; sometimes not allowing the privilege of viewing the most important facial expres- sions of Helen and Annie. The sunlight scenes were also filled with three o'clock shadows mat distracted from the effect of day- light. Some scenes are prolonged by lighting that lingers many se- conds too long.

Only when one sees the dream sequences does one appreciate the people working so diligently be- hind the scenes. Then, and rarely then one feels a mild admiration for the electricians.

The excellent direction("due to a fine cast," as Miss Marilyn

McKay would state) is brought to its height as Helen exclaims "Wah-Wah," Annie reaches for her hand, and Helen spells the word "Water."

Here, for one moment, the entire audience feels every an- xiety, every hope, every dream of Helen and Annie. Audience and players are one, the last words "forever and ever" are spo- ken, and the audience sits spell- bound in a state of reverence and meditation. Every person has experienced the long, hard strug- gle, and at last it is over.

The Miracle Worker is a play that LaGrange College will not forget for years to come.

There are two more performances of THE MIRACLE WORKER: Friday, November 10 at 8:00 P.M. Saturday, November 11 at 430 P.M. (Homecoming Matinee)

*********** H.T.N. SPEAKS OUT Homecoming

Success Up to You The Students will on November 11 get the opportun-

ity to again demonstrate their desire and make known their wishes. Homecoming gives every student the op- portunity to have a blast or to be bored to tears and the outcome of the weekend is determined by the individual student individually. This is true in regard to both the parade and the dance.

Every student on this hill can participate in the con- struction of at least one float if that person will but make himself available to any of a number of organiza- tions to which he belongs, and everyone belongs to at least one. Every year the builders run around franti- cally hunting people to help and often the answer is the same regardless of the activity of the person asked, "I'm too busy!" Bah humbug. Although this sounds "corny" a parade is much more fun to watch if you have a sense of pride and accomplishment in regard to at least one part of that parade.

The same is true of the dance. I have already heard the usual bemoaning students, sending up their cries that the dance will be a failure. When one investigates, nearly always it is found that the crier does not yet have a date. Few students are aware of the fact that this makes other people think that the dance will fail and put off finding a date until the success of the dance is assured. In a general snow balling effect this spreads until the failure of the dance is almost assured.

Now is the time to do something about your activi- ties during homecoming. Go to your class meetings, or fraternity meeting, or sorority meeting or what ever; ask some lovely thing to go to the dance with you; and then wait and see if suddenly the weekend does not become something that you look forward to with anti- cipation and pleasure.

NOW! Spring may seem far away

now, but for the annual staff it is amazingly near at hand. It is necessary for them to know the number of sub- scriptions that will be sold for the yearbook. It is also necessary for them to have a definite number of subscrip- tions sold before production can continue at full speed. To date there have only been 186 yearbooks sold, and for a college the size of LaGrange, with some 675 students, fac- ulty, administration and staff, this is not only "pore", but plain ridiculous. It is not only the duty of the students that have not subscribed to get on the ball and do so before it's too late, but it is also the duty of the 186 to help publicize this book and help the staff by getting on the back of the others, about paying for their copy.

Before long it will be im- possible for those who.Jiave not availed themselves of the yearbook, to come in out of the rain. As in the past the students can look forward to an exceptional yearbook that will be a permanaht record of the events of the past year, both in pictures and words. We can look forward to an issue filled with color pictures of beauties, events, and activities. As this quarter draws to a close, make sure that your annual is reserved and paid for, since in the spring when the Quadrangles are distributed, only those that have ordered now will be able to go home for the summer with a record that they can show with pride ♦heiryear'saetivities^^^^^

lean Love Told Me TO Tell You that Homecoming was

this weekend!!!

It is a real honor to attend a college of the caliber and distinction of LaGrange. There is at the corner of Broad and Oreon Streets a large metal marker that reveals to the world the history of this school. It is my under- standing that in the near future there will be added an- other of these historical markers. This one will not be concerned with the fact that this is an old school but rather will record the historical events of the immediate past.

In the 1940's there was written a book that LC has adopted as its guide book. The book by George Orwell shook the world when it said in 1984 that big brother would be watching you. But I wonder the reaction of the conscious world when it realizes that there is a big brother on the LaGrange campus. This brother does not

need the elaborate equipment of the Orwell account for it has replaced this expensive and illegal equipment with termites and worms.

The termites can come put of the wood work upon the mention of certain phrases but can endure the light only long enough to see who made such inflammatory remarks as "county," "line," and "let's go." And then they return to the wood, working their way through the dark passage ways to the reporting room where this information is collected and transmitted to the pro- per authorities. And then there are the worms that can go where the termites dare not tread. Listening, watch- ing and reporting, they never have to leave the dark privacy of the red clay tunnels.

Ain't life grand, but wouldn't it be grander if people would quit being termites and worms, and allow their fellows the privacy and freedom that this nation and school were founded upon. J.C.

Butch

A well-known face on the LC campus belongs to Ernest Eugene Miller, or "Butch" as everyone calls him.

Butch is a junior speech and drama major from Clark- ston, Georgia. He maintains a high scholastic average and he plans to continue his studies in graduate school.

An all-round person, Butch is serving as the president of the junior class and is the Homecoming chairman. He is a member of Gamma Phi Al- pha fraternity and served as parliamentarian last year. In his sophomore year he was "Rat Master".

As "Spudzy" Ascher says, "He's a good leader. He's a good Gamma Phi and works hard".

Butch's favorite interest is music. He has a collection of over 600 albums, 400 of which he has at school. He is par- tial to the Detroit Sound, the Beatles, and Peter, Paul, and Mary.

He is lead singer for the band, 'The Rubber Soul".

All the walls of his off- campus apartment are covered, with posters, album covers, and BILLBOARD, a magazine' a- bout the latest albums.

LaGrange is Still Growing LaGrange College has reach-

ed the somewhat lofty age of 137 years. But in reality if is still a growing child.

Since 1957 it has neariy doubled in size, from 300 to nearly 600 students and from seven to fourteen buildings.

In the next ten years it will nearly double once again. At the end of that time the entire campus will be almost unrecog- nizable as the LaGrange Col- lege we know today.

There will be new classroom buildings, dormitories, and o- ther buildings will be erected. Dobbs and Hawkes will be torn down. Smith and Quillian will be altered, and a swimming pool will be added to the gym.

What will be the effects of this long-range development? Already mentioned was the alteration in the campus' phy - sical appearance. But changes will go much deeper than that.

Obviously, die added space will allow the total enrollment to rise. It will permit certain departments to expand-for in- stance, the science department and the speech and drama de- partment. But the most far reaching change will be the overall effect, the development of a much greater number of "select" students, perhaps on even higher academic level, but in accordance with LaGrange College's tradition of quality education.

Sports Editor The absence of a school newspaper this year has

raised several questions from various sources as to how our intramural football teams are going to get their publicity.

I must confess that I wondered the same thing. But now we have a paper, and to use a time-worn adage, "better late than never."

Therefore it seems altogether fitting and proper to devote the space of this writer's first column to a review of the football season to date, citing praise to certain individuals who have done something to deserve it.

The way things started off, it seemed as if there would only be a two-team race for the title this year. Pi Delt and Gamma Phi opened with a pair of lop-sided victories with their oppenents looking anything but contenders.

Pi Delt completely routed the Independents in this year's first game, 47-0, as the Indies got a baptism of fire not soon to be forgotten. Pi Delt's offensive attack was nearly flawless for so early in the season as the Delts scored almost at will throughout the game. Prob- ably the biggest factor here was the pass and catch com- bination of Steve Gamble to Curtis McBee. Jackie Hinton did his share of the damage also while Bill Hardy, Gene Frame, Mike Zimmerman, Tom Conway and Blake Clark all turned in fine jobs of blocking and tackling.

In the next game. Gamma Phi ran over Sigma Nu by a 39-0 count and the story here was much the same as that of the previous game. James Browning threw and Dick Lacher, Robin Foley, John Watson, and Joe Free- man caught and this pretty much sums the outcome of the game.

So the pattern of the season seemed to be set, but in the next two games everything had to go out the window. It took a field goal by Foley and a late-game safety for Gamma Phi to ease past a fired-up Indepen- dent team, 5-0. The Indies were fired from the start, as the Gamma Phi offense sputtered along throughout the contest without putting together a single sustained drive. The Goblins did have a couple of near misses. A long pass to Foley was called back on a penalty as was a fine return of a punt by Foley.

For the Independents, the quarter backing of Fred Von Zonneveld was a highlight as was the line work of Phil Wilson and Pete Wodraska. For Gamma Phi, Pat McRae, and Bill Blake turned in outstanding jobs on defense, both making numerous tackles.

In the other surprising game, Sigma Nu's never-say- die Knights held Pi Delt to a close 13-7 decision. In the end, it was the superior passing of the Delts that decided the outcome, but the antics of Sigma Nu's Mike Timmons kept things interesting for most of the game.

Two days later. Pi Delt and Gamma Phi met head-on in a test of the unbeatens to decide the league lead. And the Delts came up with a long play and a pass intercep- tion to cope a 13-0 victory to keep it's record clean.

Steve Gamble hit Jackie Hinton with a long pass to account for the Delt's first score in the first half. Then Curtis McBee came back with a big interception to post the second TD to put the game out of reach for Gamma Phi. Other than that, neither team could muster much of an offensive threat, as defense was the order of the day. It was by far the hardest fought game of the year on the part of both teams, but there were very

few penalties. The Independents have now proved they are a team

to be reckoned with, coming up with two outstanding performances against Pi Delt and Sigma Nu.

The Indies were relatively easy winners over Sigma Nu, 25-0. in a game in which the Indie offense jelled for the' first time this year. The Indies also exhibited an alert pass defense with Bill McGough, Ralph Sims and Randy Roy all accounting for interceptions in the last two games. Offensive standouts were Fred Von Zonne- veld, Lloyd Berry, George Dye, Van Younginer and Scott Gordy. The game between Pi Delt and the Inde- pendents is covered elsewhere in this issue.

Goblins Win Twice; Page 7

By Buddy Sullivan

Sports Editor Take Second Place Gamma Phi Alpha tightened

it's hold on second place in intramural football standings last week with a pair of victo- ries over Sigma Nu and the Independents.

The Sigma Nu affair, played in a light drizzle throughout was a complete rout for the Goblins, as the final 32-6 score would indicate.

Sigma Nu drew first blood in the contest on a 15-yard Lockman to Ken Massey pass, but Gamma Phi came roaring back with a pair of first half TDs to take a commanding lead.

Dick Lacher hit blocking back Ed Anderson with a 32- yard aerial for the first score with Robin Foley converting for a 7-6 Gamma Phi advan- tage. Just before the half, Lac- her swept left end for 35 yards and a TD. Foley's kick was no goocL ^^^^^^^

Pi Delta Kappa rolled up the most one-sided victory of the year Tuesday, smash- ing Sigma Nu, 54-7. The point total represents the most ever scored by an intra- mural football team.

The Delt's offense, setting points at a record pace, rolled unhampered throughtout the contest. Steve Gamble, Curtis McBee, Jackie Hinton, and Bill Hardy all had a hand in the scoring.

Gamma Phi pulled off die most stunning win of the year, smashing Pi Delt, 41-14, to move into a tie for first place with the Delts in intramural football standings;

Gamma Phi, displaying the most balanced and fault free offensive performance of the season, broke a 7-6 deficit early in the game and rolled to a 19-7 halttune advantage The Goblins increased the score to 39-7 in the second set and coasted in for the one-sided victory. Dick Lacher, Snuffy Smith, Robin Foley and James Browning led the Gamma Phi

ilMi

In the second half, Lacher found Jim Browning for 30 yards and another score and Foley converted. On the next score, Foley got into the act, taking a pass from Lacher, this time for 25 yards. Brown- ing got the final tally on a 10-yard rollout around right end for the 32-6 margin.

In 'the Independent game, Gamma Phi took an early lead and held it throughout, as a pair of untimely penalties kil- led two Indie threats, one of which was a touchdown pass.

Lacher found Foley for 25 yards and the first Goblin score early in the game. Foley boot- ed the PAT for a 7-0 Gamma Phi advantage. Late in the half, Lacher flipped a" short pass to John Watson who side-stepped down the sidelines for the se- cond touchdown. The play co- vered 14 yards. Foley's kick was blocked.

In the second half, Lacher found Pat McRae for twenty yards and a touchdown on the "McTureous Special" to incre- ase the lead to 19-0.

Delts Roll toThird Win Over lndies,20-6

By Buddy Sullivan

Sports Editor

Pi Delta Kappa rolled to it's third intramural football win of the season without a loss last Thursday, downing the Independents, 20-6.

The Delts were in control throughout most of the game except for several brief Indie drives which failed to material- ize into scores.

Pi Delt built up an early lead in the first half, prima- rily behind a strong running attack from the T-formation, ably directed by quarterback Steve Gamble.

A thirty-yard drive produc- ed the first score, with Gamble tossing a 6-yard pass to Gene Frame for the TD. Gamble's PAT kick was wide to the left.

Gamble broke loose for the longest single gain of the year on the first play of the second half, dashing 43 yards up the middle.

A series of penalties set the Delts back, but minutes later, Curtis McBee hauled in a long pass from Gamble to score on a play that covered 38 yards. Gamble added the conversion for a 20-0 lead.
