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.

Dr. Waights G. Henry, Jr.
President

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY

Responsibility for maintenance of high stan-
dards and honorable conduct in academic
matters and social activities is entrusted to
students in cooperation with the faculty and
administration of the college. To this end each
student, upon enrollment at LaGrange College,
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 cooper-
ate 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.

5

STUDENT CONDUCT

LaGrange College has high standards of
conduct. Drinking on campus, lying, cheating,
and stealing are not countenanced. In offenses
involving issues of honor, the Judicial Council
of the Student Government Association shall
determine involvement. The Judicial Council's
recommendations on the above issues are, in
all instances, subject to the President of the
College for review and/or advice.

The possession or consumption on the La-
Grange College campus of any type of drug or
any other intoxicant is forbidden. Off-campus
activities of social organizations of LaGrange
College are subject to the jurisdiction of state
and local authorities.

Where an offense is proven to be one of
serious social misconduct, the Dean of Stu-
dents has the authority for disciplinary action.
Where there are infractions of standards of
integrity in the academic area, the Academic
Dean has authority in dismissal.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Matters pertaining to Student Government are
under the general direction of the Student
Government Association and its branches and
advised by the Dean of Students and the
Student Affairs Committee.

The Student Government Association 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 LaGrange College students. The Judicial
Council may try cases involving dishonesty
and serious misbehavior as determined by the
rules and regulations.

GENERAL RULES
FOR ALL STUDENTS

I. DORMITORY REGULATIONS.
A. Freshman Rules.

So that they will more easily adapt to
the academic life, the SGA proposes that
first quarter social freshmen will be
required to be in their dormitories by
11:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday
and 1:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday
nights.

1. Social Freshmen will observe closed
study hall between 7:30 and 10:00 on
Monday through Thursday nights.

2. Freshmen may leave their dormitories
during a closed study hall to go to the
library by signing out with their resi-
dence counselor.

3. Freshmen may have ten weeknights
out per quarter.

4. Students may not go to town on week
nights between 7:30 and 10:00 without
using night-out privileges.

5. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are not
included in the nights-out.

Beginning winter quarter, the following
applies to all women students:

RESTRICTIONS.

Only those women students who main-
tain an overall 2.0 (C) average will be
allowed to participate. The determining
factor in one's participation in this
system will be as follows:

a. If a social freshman, the 2.0 will be
determined after the first quarter in
residence.

b. If a transfer student, the 2.0 average
will be determined from the transcript
necessary for entrance into the college.

LOCKING OF DOORS.

The doors of the women's dormitories
are to be locked at 12:00 on Sunday
through Thursday nights, and at 2:00 on
Friday and Saturday nights.

7

At the time the doors are locked, a stu-
dent monitor is to go on duty in each
dormitory. It will be the duty of the
monitor to open the door for residents
returning to the dormitory after the
doors are locked. The dormitory resi-
dents will determine the monitoring
system for each dorm. Those women who
choose to participate in this system will
be required to serve duty as monitor;
those who do not wish to participate do
not have to act as a monitor unless they
choose to do so.

SIGNING OUT

For the convenience of the student moni-
tor, each resident who plans to return
after the doors are locked will be requir-
ed to sign a list stating the time she
plans to return.

INFORMING OF PARENTS

All students are expected to inform
their parents of their decision to abide
by the above hours system, and the
college will advise the parents of their
student's decision.

B. Quiet Hours

Every resident student will observe the
following quiet hours on campus:

1. Sunday through Thursday 7:00 p.m.
until 10:00 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. until
9:00 a.m.

2. Friday and Saturday - 12:00 p.m.
until 9:00 a.m.

C. Special Regulations

1. All students shall sign out of their res-
pective dormitories at any time that
they leave the city of LaGrange.
They shall also sign out if they will
not return by 7:00 p.m.

2. All students shall sign in their respec-
tive dormitories when returning to
the campus.

3. Women students are not to leave
their dormitories without special per-
mission from their respective resident
counselors after the doors are locked
and before the doors are unlocked at
6:00 a.m.

8

D. Rooms

1. Student rooms are subject to inspection
by administration or resident counselors
at any time. Rooms are normally inspec-
ted for cleanliness between 1 and 3
o'clock each Saturday afternoon by resi-
dent counselors according to criteria es-
tablished by the respective Dormitory
Councils. A $5.00 fine may be assessed
against an occupant who does not comply
with this rule.

2. Changes in roommates and rooms must
be through the resident counselors and
with the approval of the Dean of Stu-
dents, after inspection of room for dam-
ages.

3. The College cannot be held responsible
for valuables left in dormitory rooms.

4. Furniture must not be moved from one
room to another without permission of
the Business Manager. A $5.00 fine will
be assessed for each piece of furniture
moved on campus without permission. If
furniture or other college property is
moved off campus a $25.00 fine will be
assessed.

5. Charges for rooms are listed in the
College Bulletin. Single rooms are avail-
able for students requesting them. Stu-
dents not requesting private rooms, but
who are occupying rooms without room-
mates at the beginning of a quarter will
be given one week from registration to
find a roommate. If, at the end of one
week, the student is still occupying a
room on a single basis, the single occu-
pancy charge will be made. It is the re-
sponsibility of the student to find a suit-
able roommate. Willingness to accept a
roommate will not constitute grounds for
waiving the single room charge. A resi-
dent whose roommate chooses to leave
after the first week of the quarter will
not be charged for a private room for the
remainder of the quarter. Determination
of whether single or double room charges
are applicable is the responsibility of the
Resident Counselor.

6. Resident students are responsible for col-
lege property in the rooms they occupy.

7. Resident students may not keep pets in
their rooms.

9

required to attend house meetings of
their particular buildings.

3. All men visitors must leave the women's
dormitory area by the scheduled time for

authorized by the residence counselor.
5. For reasons of convenience and safety,
all resident students shall sign out in
their respective dormitories before leav-
ing for overnight trips.

only when an individual residing in the
dormitory accepts responsibility for him
and secures permission for the occupancy
of a bed.

2. No resident student may have an over-
night guest when he or she is away from
his or her dormitory overnight. The

of that student.

3. Guests should register with the resident
counselor of the buildings in which they
are to be housed when they arrive on
the college campus.. A charge will be
made to a student having a guest for
more than three days unless some arran-
gement is made.

4. Guests in student dormitory rooms are
subject to all college regulations, and
their hosts or hostesses must accept res-
ponsibility for their violations.

tions made by their guests who are

PUBLICATIONS

THE HILLTOP NEWS

Editor William David Hendrix

Business Manager Henry Rollins Wynn,II

The College's student newspaper gets its name
from the campus location, its staff members
from the student body, and its content from
campus activities. Started several years ago,
it is published bi-monthly. It is financed by
business advertisements and to a certain
extent by the student activity fee.

The purpose of The Hilltop News is to report
news which is of interest to the college
community and to comment editorially on
matters which concern the well-being of the
college.

the smaller and lighter segments of campus
life. Working on the publication is divided

Editor

THE SCROLL

David Sullins Benson

This student-written and student-published
magazine portrays through the medium of
original literature the intellectual life and
creativity of college students. Published twice
a year, it is financed by your student activity
fee. The magazine endeavors to present the
best writing of students in the following areas:
short stories, plays, poems, book reviews,
feature articles, and essays. Pictorial art is
also featured.

1. Selection of editors for The Hilltop News,
Quadrangle, and Scroll shall be as follows:

The President of the Student Government
Association shall appoint a committee to
offer nominations from the junior class
(rising seniors) for the three editorships.
The committee should ascertain the willing-
ness and ability of the nominees to hold the
positions. The committee should recom-
mend a minimum of two persons for each
position. The S.G.A. then will supervise an
election in which the entire student body is
permitted to vote.

2. Once an editor has been selected for a pub-
lication, he shall meet with the faculty
advisers for that publication to select a
staff.

3. The selection of a Quadrangle queen and her
court shall be a campus-wide election and
the selection of the senior superlatives (in-
cluding Mr. and Miss LaGrange College)
shall be by the senior class, such elections to
be conducted by the S. G.A.

4. The dedication for the Quadrangle shall be
the perogative of the senior class. The
Student Government Association shall print
ballots containing a statement to the effect:

"This is the official S.G.A.ballot for the
Quadrangle dedication."

A committee composed of the officers of the
senior class and the editor of the Quad-
rangle shall select five persons from whom
the senior class will make the dedication.

The committee will be given precisely the
number of official ballots as there are mem-
bers of the senior class. The committee

24

shall then insert the names of the nominees
on each ballot and mail a ballot in an
envelope to each senior.

The S.G.A. shall post announcements across
campus displaying copies of the ballots
minus the nominees' names and stamped
VOID, including a message to the effect:
"Each senior should have received an official
ballot as herein shown with five names on
it. If you are a senior and have not received
a ballot or if there are not five names on
your ballot, please contact the S.G.A."

The ballots should be returned to the nomi-
nating committee who shall count the ballots
then seal them and turn them over to the
S.G.A.

ALMA MATER

Hail to 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 paths 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.
