Art Works Featured

In Hawk's Gallery Works by Howard Thomas,

"one of the South's most im- portant contemporary artists," was featured in an exhibition that opened at LaGrange Col- lege Sunday afternoon, April 7.

Thomas, a Quaker born in Pennsylvania and reared in the Midwest, is represented by 25 gouaches (opaque watercol- ors).

Now retired and living in Carrboro, N. C., Thomas came to Georgia in 1945 as head of the Art Department at Agnes Scott College. A year later he be- came professor of art at the University of Georgia where he taught two decades before re- tiring in 1965.

A graduate of the Art Insti- tute of Chicago, Thomas has al- so taught at the University of Wisconsin and the University of North Carolina. Since his re- tirement he has been on the art faculties of North Carolina State University and the University of Hawaii.

Thomas has exhibited widely and won many prizes and awards. Some of the most re- cent are the Purchase Award in the "Artists of the Southeast and Texas" exhibition at New Orleans' Isaac Delgado Muse- um of Art, honorable mention in the 29th Annual North Caro- lina Artists Exhibition in Ra- leigh, and the Winslow Homer Memorial Award in"Watercol- or USA" exhibition at Spring- field, Mo.

He exhibited at LaGrange College in 1964, but Henry ner, acting head of the LC Art De- partment, said the forthcoming exhibition is limited to new works never before seen in La- Grange.

When Thomas was featured in a retrospective exhibition at Atlanta's High Museum in 1967, Director Gudmund Vigtel said:

2—The Hilltop News, LaGrange College, LaGrange, Georgia, April 9,

EDITORIAL Mountain parties, keg parties, water battles, afternoons at the

gate, and various other non-academic events mark the time of year known as SPRING. Yes, this glorious time of year has once again captured the hearts and minds of almost every co-ed and her beau across the country. LaGrange College is no ex- ception to this fever, and especially jubilant at this time is the free freshman. For the first time this year he has been deemed responsible enough to actually be trusted with his time. He now has the choice of whether to study or to escape to the land of fun and excitement.

What I have never quite understood, even as a freshman, is why a student that has never before been trusted to budget his time so that he may enjoy the social activities of college and still manage to pass his academic work, is suddenly thrust boldly into the world to fend for himself, especially at the time of year when one has the tendency to study less. Some people reason that he has been in coUege long enough to know when he must study and when he can play and get by with it. Others explain that it is good preparation for his sophomore year, when after the course of one summer he suddenly becomes responsible and mature enough to handle his own problems.

I have often wondered that, if a student is intelligent enough to be admitted into college, why shouldn't he then be set on his own two feet either to walk forward or to fall back, thus creat- ing room for those who may come after him that they may be more capable of surviving in this academic world?

Merely to suggest a change in policy is never enough, so I took the time to do a little research to try to discover the reason the freshman student is restricted by such cumbersome rules as closed study hall. After a brief look at the deficiency records for the last three years I discovered that at no time had the deficiencies been higher in the spring than in the fall or winter quarters. Actually, they have ranged from 6 to 18 fewer. The greatest number always occurred during the fall quarter and then fell an average of 34 from fall to winter, and dropped again an average oi 13 in spring quarter. One must realize that the drop in winter quarter is primarily becaus^ the weaker stu- dents have been excluded. One argument is that deficiencies are fewer in the spring because the weak students have almost altogether been excluded, but the loophole in this is that those who were excluded fall quarter have returned, and still their appearance didn't cause a rise in spring quarter deficiencies. Assuming that the freshman is an average student, I cannot visualize any reason why he must be burdened with something that appears to be so nonessential to his welfare.

Even when closed study hall is imposed, it only stimulates creativity with respect to the efforts devised by clever students to beat it. Surely the faculty and administration can't be so naive as to think that these students stay in their rooms and study as they are supposed to. Even those who do comply with this regu- lation often end up in the library where they can legaUy visit on what can be termed no more than an elaborate date. Then they often disturb those who have gone there to do some serious study.

My argument to abolish closed study hall can be summed up as follows: According to reports on med-term deficiencies, closed study hall plays no significant part in the academic welfare of our students. A freshman student should be just as responsible for his class work as any other student, if not, then why has he been admitted to college? The responsibility of the college is to present the material, and the student's is to learn it accordingly. The responsibility of each goes no further.

My solution to this problem is that if we have to retain this awesome rule and restriction, then why not try imposing it just through the mid-term of fall quarter? By doing this, the fresh- man student will have the opportunity to learn the importance of budgeting his time and also have the freedom to pursue other interests. If he doesn't make the grade beyond this point, then this student doesn't belong in college anyway.

Dear Editor, I am speaking for the small-

est fraternity at a s mall college. I have heard and read of the so-

called complacency of the stu- dents of this school. I be- lieve this not to be so. It's not that they dont care, it's that they are too scared to do something. On this small hill I observe one fraternity that seems to dominate, with one other having limited power. The Quadrangle, the Student Gov- ernment, the class officials, and the Hilltop News are domi-

In the last issue of the HTN I advocated relaxed smoking rules for girls. Along with this point I would like to pre- sent the idea of an extended curfew for girls. While the freshmen girls will soon start receiving the upperclassmen privileges, the daylight savings

long to these groups, he does not "rate". I hope that our now small fraternity will ex- pand its now small power and try and check this power struc- ture.

T. CONNER, Beta Rho

answer: Allow me to correct your statement about certain students being "too scared" to do something, whatever "something might be. Ibelieve "too unconcerned" would be a better statement.

I cannot speak on behalf of the Quadrangle, SGA, or class officials, but I can speak with some authority on the position of the HTN. H you care to observe accurately as you ap- parently don't, you will dis- cover that our staff is not dominated by any one fraternity or organization. At the first of the year everyone was in- vited to join our staff, and all positions were open. As far as I know not one of your brethren showed any interest in working with the HTN. If they had, they would be on the staff.

If you are still interested in expanding your small fra- ternity's power, and you think being on the staff of this publi- cation wiU help, then you are invited to come to our next meeting or to notify us by mail that you are interested in joining our staff, and I personally will see tnat you have enough work to keep you busy in your spare

■ time. As a matter of fact, we : need more people on the staff, • and that includes anyone who • might be interested. : I hope I have cleared up your • misconceptions about this pub- • lication. Thanks for your letter.

time will still shorten this, since -the sun doesn't set until nearly nine o'clock. I'm sug- gesting a curfew extension until U:30 p.m. on week nights for upperclassmen and at least 11:00 p.m. for freshmen. Lef s face it, 10:30 is pretty ridiculous when you actually look at it. On weekends an extension for senior girls should be made to 1:30 a.m. A senior girl has earned the right to have this extra privilege. If she were at home, I'm sure this would be a satisfactory time with her par- ents. Juniors and sophomores should rate 1:00 a»m. permis- sion on weekends, although freshmen should be content with

the 12:30 a.m. curfew now set. If this can be proposed at the next legislative council meet- ing, perhaps we could have these new extensions in effect by May 1. Worth looking into, isn't it?

Perhaps we should give Mr. Bink, the manager of Campus Chefs, a special thanks for the improvements that have been made in the meals in the last month. Rumor has it that he will be leaving us shortly and lef s hope that the new manager wiU be as good and as good natured. (Editor's note: Mr. Evans, formerly at LC, is returning April 150

Chapel programs have been far from what they should be, with very few exceptions. Con- sideration should be given to eliminating those inadequate

' presentations, and instead re- serve chapel for special occa- sions when there is a speaker who would really benefit the stu- dent body. It should be realized that the budget for speakers is inadequate , so perhaps the money should be saved up and used to get an exceptional in- stead of the mediocre speakers we usually end up with. This would definitely give a boost to the morale around campus.

About Those Profs . ..

Linda, Northcutt

A most versatile man is Dr. David Ingersoll Naglee. Now in his second year on the hill, he is an associate professor of religion who is also very active in the community.

Originally from New Jersey, Dr. Naglee is more than quali- fied for the position he holds. His formal education is im- pressive'. After taking an A.B. in Biblical Literature at Hough- ton College, he attended the Temple School of Theology in Philadelphia and then Crozer Theological Seminary in Ches- ter, Pennsylvania, where he received his B. D. in Church History. His graduate work was done at Temple Universi- ty, where he received both an A. M. and a Ph. D. in the History of Religion. In ad- dition to his religious studies, he learned to read Spanish, French, German, and Greek (Koine).

He has been a Methodist min- ister for fifteen years, and had been preaching for several years before that. An interest- ing note is that Dr. Naglee, his father, and his brother were aU Naglee has had one very ab- ordained at the same time, sorbing and profitable hobby—

Throughout his student days, music. An accomplished musi- and on into the present, Dr. cian, he was affiliated with

Six leading weed- producers were told that one of the nation's leading tobacco manufactures "has already ad- vised us that it does not intend to continue its advertising on professional football tele- casts."

This is rather disheartening news for the football buffs among us who, after several minutes of the rougli and tum- ble, blood and gore of the grid, look forward to a cool walk tli rough the green meadows to the refreshing shore of a moun- tain lake where they can light up and discard a flaming match that may set several thousand acres of timber afire.

by Marty Liebman Word has it that as a part

of its anti-smoking campaign the U.S. Government will have its mail trucks carry anti- smoking posters on their sides proclaiming: "100,000 doctors have quit smoking cigarettes. (Miybe they know something we don't)."

The campaign, which is be- ing sponsored by the U.S. Pub- lic Health Service, is drawing a great deal of fire from some tobacco-states' Congressmen. Rep. L„ H. Fountain (D. N.C.) said, "A poll of 2,500 physi- cians out of a national physi- cian population of doctors is not adequate basis for asserting that 100,000 doctors have or have not stopped engaging in uny activity." We assume Rep. Fountain was speaking in regard to a poll on smoking.

A s spring quarter started last week, fatramural softball teams wasted no time taking to the practice field, and at least two teams are taking their practice sessions very seriously.

Pi Delta and Gamma Phi are both holdingfull-scale workouts each day, with both fraternities apparently harboring full inten- tions of making a concerted bid for the title and the subsequent Bailey award in sports competi- tion.

Sports make up only a part of the Bailey Award but it is in this area that most interest seems to lie. Gamma Phi won the all important football title last fall but had to settle for a third place finish in basketball. On the other hand, Pi Delt was runnerup in football and finished second in basketball behind the Independents.

The Indies and Sigma Nu re- present somewhat of an unknown quantity in the softball race which gets underway in about a week, but Pi Delt and Gamma Phi are both returning num- erous standouts from last year and are expected to battle it out for the decisive championship of 1967-68 LC fraternity sports.

Gamma Phi has a host of vet- erans back, with a lot of added power in this year's pledge class. Returning vets include Dick Lacher, who was instru- mental in leading the Goblins to the title which they will de- fend this year. Also back are basketball players Steve Fry, Earl Holmes and NealChancey, who supply a great deal of hitting punch as well as defensive ability. Other players back from last year's team are Snuffy Smith, Joe Crespo, Ron Broc- coliere, and Robin Foley.

Several players who have been outstanding ID practice sessions are up for starting bids. There are Lamar Adams at first base, Garland Gudger at shortstop, Al Stroud at third base and George Courtwright. Other players on the Gamma Phi team are Bill Wynn, Mike Savage, Buddy Sullivan, Phil Wilson, Bill Blake and Pat Mc- Rae.

Pi Delt has been just as am- bitious in its workouts, sporting a team with offensive punch and fielding ability. Top prospects and returners from last year are Tom Duckett, Mike Zim- merman, John Ackerman, Gene Frame, Bill Hardy. Blake Clark, Tom Conway, Jackie Hinton and Curtis McBee.

Duckett, Zimmerman, Hardy, Frame and Hinton are all ac- complished hitters, but Delt pitching may be a question mark at the present. Last year Pi Delt used Larry Goodman ex- tensively, but he has since grad- uated, along with power hitter Larry Horton. But the Delts have the experience and are definitely a contender in the league title-chase.

"The color shapes," he con- tteued, "are held together by inconspicuous but powerful at- tractions which become con- scious pulls upon the pauter, something akin to the pulls which a magnet exerts upon fil- ings in a physics experiment... I regard that painting most com- plete when, with familiarity, it continues to evoke a changing sequence of new visual rhythms."
