To All Freshmen, WELCOME To "The Hill" This week begins your college career — here's wishing

that it gets off to a good start. It will be a hectic and a mem- orable week; hectic because of the tests you will have to take, the regulations you will learn, and the many other things that go along with orientation; memorable because of the friendships you will form on campus, at rush parties, on dates, and in bull-sessions. Then, things will begin to settle down to the routine of study and play.

For both new and old students this beginning of a new academic year should be a time of resolution and dedication so that this will be a good year, individually and as a student body. It is up to you — and you — and you.

LC Is Growing LaGrange College begins its 131st year with a record

enrollment of approximately 500. This high enrollment of the most carefully selected new students in the college's history, and construction of three new buidings (to begin this fall) mean that LaGrange is on its way to its goal of 600 students in 1962. The faculty and staff is larger, too; four new professors and three new staff members have been added. These are signs of growth — signs to be proud of.

Invitations I. The Hilltop News welcomes letters to the editor from

students and faculty members. All letters must be signed, but names will be withheld on request.

II. If you are interested in working on the news staff or the business staff of the News, contact one of the editors or the business manager. They are listed in the staff box above.)

Social-Minded Greek-Letter Organizations Extend Welcome To All New Students

By ANNA SMITH

Society Editor

LaGrange College has three so- rorities and three fraternities on its campus. These organizations entertain at dances and parties throughout the year and play intramural sports.

At one time in its history La- Grange College had as many as six sororities. However, only the three oldest of these have sur- vived the years.

Alpha Kappa Theta Sorority was founded in 1906 and has green and white as its colors. Suzanne Cooper is president.

Alpha Phi Beta Sorority, founded in 1918, has red and white as its colors. Laura Will- iams is president.

Kappa Phi Delta Sorority, founded in 1921, has as its colors blue and white. Melanie Moore is Kappa Phi president.

When the college became co-ed, fraternities were formed. Each fraternity has a "sister" sorority, and the two work together.

Pi Delta Kappa Fraternity has blue and gold as its colors. Porter Morgan is Pi Delt president.

Sigma Nu Pi Fraternity has red and white as its colors. Mike Johnson is Sigma Nu president.

Gamma Phi Alpha is the Kap- pa Phi Delta brother fraternity and has blue and white as its colors. Hardy Tippett is Gamma Phi president.

All new students will become very well acquainted with each of these organizations during rush. Formal rush parties will be- gin Thursday night, September 21. Since the brother and sister organizations help each other en- tertain, their parties are held on different nights.

Phi Alpha will begin the rush parties on Thursday night. Kappa Phi Delta and Pi Delta Kappa will hold their rush parties Fri- day night, and Alpha Kappa The- ta and Sigma Nu Pi will enter- tain Saturday night.

Rush parties are only the be- ginning, as all new students will soon discover. They will be en- tertained at parties and dances for the next few weeks.

When bids finally go out, each rushee should be well acquainted with all of the sororities and fra- ternities and have a good idea as to which she or he would like to join. In order to pledge, each rushee must have attended the three formal rush parties held during "Rush Week."

Here's hoping each new stu- dent will find his place in one of our Greek-letter organizations!

Summer Quarter Was Busy This Year

Science Division Gets 'New Look', Lab Equipment

The Science Division of La- Grange College, located on the first floor of Dobbs Hall, is dis- playing a new face these days.

A renovation project costing several thousand dollars has just been completed, thereby giving LC's budding scientists more mo- dern laboratories and classrooms in which to study and more office facilities for professors, College Business Manager Austin P. Cook Jr. said.

Most of the new equipment, improvements, and renovations were made possible by a $5,000 grant from the General Board of Education of The Methodist Chur- ch, Nashville, Tenn., and a $2,000 grant from the W. I. H. and Lula E. Pitts Foundation of Waverly Hall. Additional funds to complete the project have come from the college's annual repair and main- tenance budget.

Major improvements in the sci- ence department have been the renovation and equipping of phy- sics and chemistry laboratories and offices for professors, but mathematics and biology class- rooms have also come in for their share of the modernization.

Both, laboratories and class- rooms are now equipped with such new items as chalk boards, lighting fixtures, storage cabinets, tables and desks.

All rooms and hallways have been newly painted and have new acoustical ceilings and tile floors.

Mr. Cook said that similar im- provements have also been car- ried to the second and third floors of Dobbs Hall and to stairways in the building.

Additional campus improve- ments this summer include a new glass entrance to Pitts Hall for women and new furniture for Smith Hall for women. Funds for the furniture were given to the college by Habersham Mills, Grantville.

By BEN FLADGER Staff Reporter

Students on campus this sum- mer found it to be probably the busiest summer quarter the school has ever had.

As in ether quarters, studies roved to be the number one ac-

tivity. Tests and term papers wen just ai frequent this quarter as in others with the difficulty of time and will to write them.

Since there were no organized club activities planned for the summer, the students put their ingenuity to use. The result was a mixed softball league in which an average of two games were played per week. Student partici- pation was excellent and many of the games were close and ex- citing.

Also, a full-scale tennis tour- nament was organized and play- ed during the last half of the quarter. Highlight of the tourna- ment was the winning of the men's singles by John Gibson and the winning of the women's singles by Lou Daffin.

A special attraction was a dan- ce sponsored by Sigma Nu fra- ternity. The dance was on the tennis courts with all the re- quirements of a successful dance — a band, lights and refresh- ments. The dance was enhanced by the presence of many of the students who were away for the summer who returned to take part in the dance.

Outside the organized activities, students utilized the Callaway pool and gardens to their fullest extent. The pool played host to the Southern Peach Meet and the gardens played host to the Mas- ters Ski Tournament; both of which offered students special entertainment.

Finally, the quarter came to a

Panther Cagers To Have New Faces; Team Rebuilding Program Underway

Coach Joe Copeland of the LC Panthers is looking forward to a good season for the LaGrange cagers. Although lacking exper- ience with the Panthers, the new- comers to the team have made athletic records for themselves in various high schools and junior colleges.

Two new members of the Pan- ther squad are transfer students: Larry Howell, playing guard and standing 6-2, comes from Young Harris, and Harold Jones, 6-1, playing guard, comes from Geor- gia Tech. Other players are: Allen Rowe, 6-1, from Newton County; Jerry Massey, 6-0, from Ware County in Waycross; Terry Ste- phens, 5-10, from Sylvan High in Atlanta; Bob Tuggle, 6-2, from Sylvan; Charles Hardy, 6-5, from Sprayberry High in Marietta; Denny Rickman, 6-1, from Spray- berry; and Donald. Doss, 6-5, from LaGrange. All of these men meet the academic standards set by the conference (which have been rai- sed over last year) and must keep a "C" average to be eligible to play.

The Panthers will play each of the six other teams in the Geor- gia Intercollegiate Athletic Con- ference twice- —. once at home and once away. The six schools are Piedmont, North Georgia, Shorter, Berry, West Georgia, and Valdosta State. The schedule

• is not definite yet due to changes in coaches at two of the schools.

Two non-conference games are scheduled — one with Charles- ton, S. C, . on Nov. .30, and one at Mercer on Dec. 1. 'On Nov. 18,

Mr. Westafer Studies In Mass. During The Summer

Professor Walter Westafer, the director of the Chorolaires, was at the Berkshire Music Center in Lenox, Mass., for eight weeks this summer studying advanced choral techniques. He studied with the eminent choral director, Hugh Ross, director of the world renowned Schola Cantorum of New York City.

The Berkshire Center is under the direction of Charles Munch, conductor of the Boston Orches- tra. Noted composer Aaron Cop- land is dean of the center, which is also the home of the summer- long Berkshire Music Festival.

Philosopher (Cont) . . .

France. He then became profess- or of the history of philosophy at the University of Strasbourg, where he remained until 1957 when he assumed his present post at the Sorbonne.

Dr. Ricoeur held a visiting pro- fessorship at Haverford College in 1955-56, at McGill University (Montreal) in 1957, at Union Theological Seminary in New York where he taught the philo- sophy of religion in 1958, and the University of Montreal in 1959.

Douglas V. Steere, the T. Wistar Brown Professor of Philosophy at Haverford College, describes Paul Ricoeur as "a man of unusual power who speaks from a Christ- ian center but with great profess- ional competency in the field of philosophy ... A man of passion with a clear mind!"

A member of the Reformed Church of France, Dr. Ricoeur is active in the Christian Students Federation. He is also one of the editors of the philosophical re- view, "Esprit."

Among the publications of Dr. Ricoeur are several books, in- cluding the two-volume work, "A Philosophy of the Will." The first

the Methodist Student Movement is held in the same building.

All students who have had choral experience are invited to enlist in our chancel choir which meets for rehearsal each Thurs- day evening at 7:30. Once a mon- th a choir composed of LaGrange College students sings at the eve- ning worship service in this church.

The Rev. Bevel Jones, pastor, wants to assure each and every student at the college that not on'-.J ly are the facilities of the church available, but his office is open to any who would like to come and talk with him personally a- bout any concern they may have,

part, published in 1950, is "The Voluntary and the Involuntary." Part II, published in 1960, includ- es "Fallible Man" and "The Sym- bolism of Evil." Other major works are "Ideas for Phenomen- ology" (translated from the Ger- man of Husserl), "Karl Jaspers and the Philosophy of Existence," (co-authored with Mikel Duf- renne), "Karl Jaspers and Gabriel Marcel," "History and Truth" and "Current Problems in Phe- nomenology." He has contributed many articles to such leading French journals as "Revue de Metaphysique et de Morale," "Esprit," "Revue d'Histoire at la Philosophic Religieuse," and "Christianisme Social."

LaGrange is one of 17 colleges and universities in America which Dr. Ricoeur is visiting during the 1961-62 academic year.
