HANDBOOK
THE LAGRANGE COLLEGE STUDENT CREED
Life is mine to Live. That I may cherish it
And right royally meet its responsibilities,
I would lay aside that which is
Narrow, selfish, ignoble, and unkind;
The false, superficial, the dishonest
I would shun in thought, word and deed.
Rather may I cultivate in my college life
Those traits and ideals that will fit me
To weave dreams into realities,
And impressions into character,
To meet bravely the hard tasks of life,
To bring joy to those who falter in their tasks.
I would strive to judge more kindly,
Trust more fully, and love more deeply,
That my life may reflect His goodness.
And my soul may grow on the knowledge
Of Him, whom to know is life eternal.
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
To old students as well as to new students we issue a hearty welcome to
LaGrange College for the year 1977 - 78. The best reason for going to college
is not for what one can get out of college, but for what one gets out of life
after going to college.
On that basis it is necessary to make every day count in preparation for
professional school, graduate school or for life. In the world of work there is
no demand for beautiful people of wit and great personalities. There is a
demand for prepared people with strong motivation, loyalty, integrity, and
self-discipline.
May this be the best year you yet have known.
Cordially,
Dear Students,
LaGrange College exists because you are here and for your improvement as a
human being. This handbook is designed to help you to become acquainted with
LaGrange as quickly as possible.
People are more important than things. You will want to become acquainted not
only with those mentioned in this booklet, but also with all others you meet.
Association with people is as vital as textbook knowledge. It is our conviction that
most of the people on this campus are friendly, willing to be of assistance, and
desire in return your friendship. To have friends you must be a friend.
Let us urge you to take part in campus life. Your Student Government Associa-
tion is the voice of the student body and is very effective. There are many interest
groups and social clubs on campus which can give you an outlet for your talents.
Become involved - that's the key to success.
Often times you will find that it will be helpful to seek our assistance. Please do
not hesitate to seek this help if you need it.
We wish you well and look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Nancy Alford
Assistant Dean of Students

Dear Fellow Students,
There are few decisions we make in life that we can later look back upon and be
totally sure that our judgments were correct. I hope your deciding to come to
LaGrange College will be one such decision. A lot depends upon you and how you
spend your time here.
Of course, time must be given to academics. You will find that your classes are
both challenging and rewarding. Fulfillment comes only when you know that you
have done the best you are capable of doing.
However, college is more than simply textbooks and classes. Give yourself time
to be involved with people, activities, organizations, and social events. These, as
much as academics, will help to mold you into a mature, well-rounded individual.
In addition, please feel free to call upon me at any time if I may be of assistance
to you. I want to do anything I can to enable you, years from now, to look back
with the assurance that LaGrange College was the right place for you.
Sincerely Yours,
David Hancock

PURPOSE OF THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT
The purpose of the Association shall be to encourage students to assume individ-
ual and group responsibility in the community life at LaGrange College, to maintain
a high standard of honor in every phase of college life, and to develop a sense of
loyalty to the ideals of the Association.
Student Government at LaGrange College is designed to offer students a demo-
cratic experience during their stay in college. In hopes of creating within students
more of an awareness and responsibility for our democratic system of living, the
Student Government strives to direct all matters pertaining to student affairs.
Every student has his own personal responsibility as a member of this campus
democracy.
Matters pertaining to Student Government are under the general direction of the
Student Government Association and its branches and by the Dean of Students
and the Student Affairs Committee.
The S.G.A. has three branches. The Executive Council, under the direction of
officers elected by a campus-wide vote, coordinates all student activities on the
campus. The Legislative Council makes the rules which regulate the democratic
living of LaGange College students. The Judicial Council may try cases involving
dishonesty and serious misbehavior as determined by the rules and regulations.

STUDENT CONDUCT and RESPONSIBILITY
LaGrange College has high standards of conduct. Lying, cheating, and stealing are
not countenanced. The possession or consumption on campus of any type of alcohol-
ic beverage or other intoxicant is forbidden.
Possesion of any type drug in one's room, car, or off campus will constitute
grounds for suspension and any persons involved may be asked to leave campus
within twelve hours. These persons will also be turned over to the proper law
authorities. All students occupying a room where drugs are found are considered
responsible unless investigation reveals only one possessor.
In offenses involving issues of honor, the Judicial Council of the student govern-
ment will determine involvement. The Council's recommendations are subject to
review and/or advice from the President of the College. Where an offense is
proven to be one of serious social misconduct, the Dean of Students has authority
for disciplinary action. Where there are infractions of standards of integrity in the
academic area, the Academic Dean has authority in dismissal. Off campus activities
of Social Organizations are subject to the jurisdiction of state and local authorities.
Responsibility for maintenance of honorable conduct is academic and social
activities is entrusted to the students in cooperation with the faculty and adminis-
tration. To this end each student, upon enrollment, signs the following pledge:
"In recognition of the obligations and privileges of membership in
the student body of LaGrange College, I hereby agree to obey all
rules and regulations of the College; to respect and to cooperate with
its constituted authorities; to conduct myself honorably; and at all
times to live in such a manner as to reflect credit upon myself, my
family and the College. I realize that failure to comply with this
pledge subjects me to disciplinary action."
A student whose conduct indicates that he or she is not in sympathy with the
ideals and standards of the College or who seems unable to profit from its program
may be asked to withdraw.
Any student that feels that his or her rights have been violated or that he or she
has been falsely accused may request a hearing before the Student Conduct
Committee of the faculty or the Student Affairs Committee of the Board of Trus-
tees.

ALMA MATER
Hail the thee, our Alma Mater,
Guardian of our days;
For thy spirit never failing
We will sing thy praise.
High aloft we hold thy banner,
Ever loyal true;
And to thee, our Alma Mater,
We our pledge renew.
In thy mighty groves of learning
Wisdom's path we've sought.
High upon thy lofty hilltop
Visions have been wrought.
From our hearts we sing the chorus
Time shall never change.
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater
Hail to thee, LaGrange.
