Poll Total Due This Week
BY JOHN WHITE
The LaGrange "Affirmation:
Viet Nam" movement went into
full swing last week beginning
on the LaGrange College campus. The LC part of the statewide effort, headed by student
government president Ted Hitchcock, began with a poll of
the college's students. Hitchcock said that complete results of the poll will not be
available until later in the week.
CLASSIC COMBINATION—Sophmopolitan opera and Ballet
Company presents a laugh-filled and winning "Carmen at Swan
Pond (Lake).'*
Sophs Win Night
"Carmen at Swan Pond" was
presented by the sophomore
class on stunt night, Friday
night. This won them the trophy that they as freshmen won
last year.
Trip McCord introduced the
so named "Lead horse Opera
house" presentation "TheSwan
Pond" after introducing the
LaGrange Philhormonic Orchestra lead by the lipstick stained Professor, Steve Eckels.
Noble Shropshire and Trip
McCord were largely responsible for the mock ballet. It
became more interesting with
characters like The
Black
Swan played by Clay Calhoun,
Glenn "Batman" Alterman,
Glenn
"Batman" Alterman.
Pink Swan Harriet Lane and
Carmen "Rose" Neely, the
"Spirit of Good played by Joyce Young.
The freshmen contribution
was a reading of "The Fly" a
narration about a man getting
bit by a fly. This was done in
the mist of activity on stage such
as a fly swatter chasing a fly,
a ballet dancer, pillow fighter,
a gum chewing hairteaser, an
"Alfalfa" style prankster, a
cleaning women, freshmencan-can and ballet dancers singing the rat song, and a begging
guitar minstreL
Other contributions to the
affair were, "Night in Count"
a take-off on the faculty presented by the seniors.
Ed Stephens, one of the 30
original planners of "Affirmation Viet Nam", said that following the poll of LC students
LaGrange High and Troup High
School students were polled and
Saturday the entire city of LaGrange was polled.
Stephens said the poll gave
students and citizens an opportunity to register feelings of
support or non- support for the
United States' commitment to
Viet Nam.
"Affirmation Viet Nam," a
student movement, began
at
E mory University and spread to
every college in the state,
according to the group's state
leaders.
Seven Georgia congressmen
have spoken out in favor of the
movement. While praising "Affirmation Viet Nam'' they jointly announced that Secretary of
State Dean Rusk will speak before an assembly in Atlanta
Stadium Feb. 12.
Carol Lewis Student Of The Week'
To Speak Of Tommy Shoaf Typical LC'er
BY CASSIE HERNDON
New Mission
Walker Thomas Shoaf, III
has many qualities that make
him a typical LC student.
Among other things, he goes
to classes, eats meals in the
dining hall, and must attend
assembly.
He is a member of Gamma
Phi Alpha fraternity, and the
Circle K service club.
A senior who transferred
from Emory winter quarter,
1964, Tommy is majoring in
pre-medical studies, and hopes
to go to medical school this
fall.
One attribute that sets him
off from many LC'ers is his
continuous Dean's List average
since coming to LaGrange.
Tommy recently became engaged to Linda Bryant, from his
hometown of Gainesville, Ga.,
and plans to marry her in August.
BY MARY PROPST
"The Church has a new mission for society, and we must
realize as we change that its
message can no longer be contained in traditional molds."
Such is the view of the Rev.
Carol R. Lewis who will address assembly Wednesday.
Mr. Lewis, minister of education at First Methodist
Church, Anniston, Ala., majored in sociology at Southern
Methodist University before doing graduate work at Vanderbilt School of Theology inNashville, Tenn.
He has served on many national committees including the
Board of Standards-.a board
which sets requirements for
certification of Directors of
Christian Education in The Methodist Church.
Since his arrival in Anniston, Mr. Lewis has made a
vital contribution to the life of
that community. He is presently a member of the Steering
Committee of the Juvenile and
Domestic Relations Court. His
ministry has been centered largely around young people. Outside his local church he has
organized many programs for
youth of low socio • economic
backgrounds.
Before coming to Anniston
Mr. Lewis held educational positions with First Methodist
Church, Cullman, Ala., and Central MethodistChurch,Decatur,
Ala.
Mr. Lewis is married and has
two daughters.
SNEA Leaders
Attend Meet
LIKE EVERYONE else on campus, Tommy Shoaf just can't
stay away from the Student
Center and those O.T. books.
Officers of the LaGrange College Student Education Association and Dr. Walter M. Shackelford, professor and chairman of
the Division of Education, attended a state wide meeting at
Rock Eagle Center in Eatonton January 21 and 22.
LC students attending were:
Jane Louise Alexander of Atlanta, president; Jenny Johnston
Glover of West Point, vice president; Bessie Delzanne Hobbs
of Atlanta, treasurer; and Elizabeth Anne Hood of Newnan,
membership chairman.
WAIGHTS G. HENRY, colpresident, kicks off campus
by signing "Affirmation:

In kicking off the LaGrange
effort last week, Hitchcock explained the campaign's purpose at LC's weekly assembly
program. The Troup County
Commissioners at their regular meeting last week adopted a resolution commending the
college's student body for its
stand supporting "Affirmation
Viet Nam." Friday LaGrange
Mayor Gardner Newman officially began the poll of the city
by signing the poll.
Student
officials of
the
movement emphasize, "Affirmation: Viet Nam" does not necessarily support the government's day-to-day policy in Viet
Nam , but rather the commitment in which the government is presently involved."

In last Wednesday's chapel
program, Mr. J. Herbert Orr
told of his first experience
with magnetic recording tope,
with magnetic recording tape.
During WW n, Mr. Orr was
transferred to Psychological
Warfare. His first assignment
was to "rehabilitate" the German Broadcasting Service in
Luxemburg. They didn't use
records, and their government
manufactured a magnetic tape
for recording purposes.
The manufacturing plants for
the tape were destroyed, so
Mr. Orr and his associates
were left with old used tapes.
After experimenting they found
they could erase tapes and use
them again.
On one occasion, Mr. Orr
and this team were interpreting
one f Eisenhowers' speeches
to the French. In the middle
of the speech Hitler began talking, because the tape wasn't
completely erased. Headquar.
ters didn't like this very much
and told them to use new tapes.
Since there weren't any new
tapes, the team had to produce
them. This is when Mr. Orr
met Doctors Von Bromen and
Plaumer who taught them the
production method.
Mr. Orr brought the idea to
America, had it patented, and
started a new revotution in electronics. He eventually sold the
patent after it had made a
small fortune.

An outstanding piece in the
exhibit was Ann Seward'sprint.
By the use of line (one might
say almost contour line) Miss
Seward wove a story of interest, belief, and retrospect.
There is a discerning old
lady who sits motionless in the
middle of the exhibition hall.
As you peer down at the brass
plaque, you find yourself saying,
"Pardon me, Madame." However, you needn't, for "Madame" is a very puzzling piece
of pop-art by Robert Gibson.
Another somewhat thoughtprovoking sculpture is James
Clover's "Big Bird." The bird
if you should care to call it
that, has a countenance like a
cross between Charles Lind-
berg, Charlie Leghorn, andElizabeth Taylor.
The exhibit will continue
through Saturday, January 29.

Although it's a low-budget
film without big-name stars,
"The Second Best Secret Ag'ent in the Whole Wide World"
has revamped some of the better scenes from James Bond
and those other British-made
spy films to turn this movie
into one long, continuous guffaw.
Charles Vine, played by Tom
Adams, is the Second Best Agent
who attempts to entertain - socially that is-better than "the
higher priced agent." He tries
awfully hard! Charlie doesn't
have the rugged good looks of
Sean Connery, but there's definitely smething about him
that women like?!.
The Plot? Oh, it really doesn't
matter! The British secret agent
seeks a set of blue-prints possessed by a Swedish scientist.
The Communists, of course,
want them also and herein lies
the conflict • a couple of extremely attractive girls used
effectively in the Bond style.

minutes of first - rate entertainment. It's a must!

College won their third straight
conference victory by taking
the West Georgia Braves 76-73
in Carrollton, last Wednesday
night.

Panthers Face Berry
And Huntingdon
BY T. J. THOMPSON
The Panthers face three stern
tests in upcoming games.
Two Gamma .PMs go high for a rebound but their extra effort
went for naught as the Independents swept to a 52.43 victory.
T.J. Thompson (lower left) was high scorer for the Independents
with 27 points. PiDeltdefeatedSlgmaNu, 48-40, in the other intramural game last week.
THE CITIZENS & SOUTHERN BANK
OF LaGRANGE
Wednesday night the Panthers
play what probably will be one
of the most important games of
the season against the Vikings
of Berry College.
Berry will indeed be a tough
foe. The Vikings are undefeated in the conference, and have
defeated the perennial powerhouse Shorter by a score of 5648.
Last year the Panthers and
Vikings split two games.
Revenge will be the key word
as the Panthers travel to Ala-
bama College Saturday night
and to HuntingdonMonday night.
The Panthers will certainly
be out to avenge a 64-50 opening season loss to the boys of
Alabama College, and certainly
Huntingdon will be ready to
avenge a 76-74 loss to the
Panthers earlier in the season.
Myers and Glenn Lord, shot
out to a big early lead, and retired to the dressing room at
the half holding a 44 to 27
lead.
However, with six minutes
left in the game the momentum
shifted to the determined
Braves. Led by the shooting of
John Christopher and Jim Jackson, and a tight desperation zone
press, the Panther lead was
whittled to 3 points, but the
Braves could get no closer as
the Panthers held on to gain a
76-73 conference victory.
Junior center Joe Phillips
scored a Panther season high
by flipping in 30 points against
the Braves. Phillips also pulled down 16 rebounds to help
maintain his conference lead
in this department.
