The 1980 Quadrangle A-9 Resigns Unexpectedly . . . Hagood No Longer King of Hill I ' ve been kind all my Dr. Charles L. Hagood announced Friday, December 21, 1980, he was resigning the position of president of LaGrange College after serving eighteen months as its 20th president. The resignation was accepted by the Board of Trustees of LC at its regular meeting at noon that day. Charles D. Hudson, board chairman, was named temporarily as acting president - without pay - until a successor could be chosen. Hudson said Hagood, who had served as pastor of five Georgia churches during his eighteen years in the ministry, accepted a sales position with a LaGrange carpet firm, Carpets International - Georgia, Inc. The resignation became effective December 31, 1980. The board chairman said the resignation came as a surprise. Dr. Hagood came to me yesterday and submitted his resignation, and I asked him to submit it to the board, which I did today at noon, Hudson said after the resignation became public. Hagood said he had been named sales manager for the carpet firm ' s Florida market, and that he would move his family there in the following several weeks. The Hagoods relocated in Orlando, Florida. I ' ve just decided after 20 years and two different forms of ministry that I ' m intrigued and fascinated by the business world, he commented, and I want to move into that phase of work. At 42, I of planning it life. still have a strong commitment to the church, but my service to God and man can best be translated by my move into the lay and business world where I can utilize my ability in sales work as a speaker. I ' m proud of what has happened in the 18 months I ' ve been here . . . It ' s been a learning experience, but I ' m sure that education is not the place I ' ve wanted to spend my life. I hope I ' ve done something constructive and crea- tive for the school. Hagood commented he had con- sidered the decision for some time. I ' ve been kind of planning it all my life. I was a Methodist minister ' s son and I grew up in the church all my life. I sort of want - not to change the values in my life - but a chance for me to explore a new dimension of life. If my life could accomplish anything, I would like to be a person who demonstrated that the Christian life could be lived within the ministry or without the ministry equally well. I think God needs both those who are ordained or in the laity and I hope my life shows you can make that change, he added. Dr. Hagood, 42, assumed the college presidency July 1, 1978. He followed the highly successful and popular Dr. Waights G. Henry, Jr., who had served as president for 30 years and was elevated to a new position as chancellor. Hagood left the pastorate of the United Methodist Church to accept the new post. D. Griffin R. Pendley Man of Action Whether at the basketball game in the gym, or simply roaming about campus, Robert Pendley was nearly always seen striking this pose. He has earned this year ' s Quad Man of Action award. We salute him and his ilk.

A-8 The 1980 Quadrangle G. Jasinski 1981 SGA Officers Elected MUSE Benefits (continued from p. 7) site six miles from his home in upstate New York. Since then, he has been performing benefits and writing songs advocating the anti-nuclear position. His Power has become the movement ' s anthem. Rock musicians are not new to nuclear politics. In 1974, the first benefit concerts raised money for native Americans fighting for their possessory rights to New Mexico land where uranium mines are located. In 1976, similar benefits raised nearly $160,000 in support of California ' s Proposition 15. It was voted down by a two to one margin, but musicians and anti-nuke forces rebounded with a concert that bounded with a concert that raised another $100,000 and led to the formation of the Pacific Alliance (another anti-nuclear group) in 1977. Benefits have raised money for local alliances on both east and west coasts. Sam Lovejoy is the president of MUSE and heads the production board which supervises logistics for the benefit and works out details for the record and feature film documenting the event. The MUSE Foundation will oversee dispersing the benefit ' s proceeds to local and national organiza- tions to support national actions and for public education across the nation. Lovejoy cites the power of rock and roll money in political campaigns. The Allman Brothers raised money for Carter, and Jackson Browne did the same for Jerry Brown ' s 1974 and 1978 campaigns. It ' s one of the few ways you can raise large dollars without going to rich people, Lovejoy says. Energy promises to be a major campaign issue in the 1980 presidential elections, and Lovejoy believes that anti-nuclear forces are a large enough block of voters to deny the presidency to any candidate who has an unaccept- able energy program in store for the nation. The highly visible musicians will draw public and media attention to the activities of the group. In spite of controversy caused by eligibility requirement disputes, the 1981 Student Government Association officers were elected late Winter quarter. Maw Wood, the newly elected president, promised that all students would be equally represented by his administration. He also stated students would be represented without regard to personal involvement on his part. The officers will face an increasingly difficult task of running the student government because of rising costs of entertainment, including movies and live acts, and, since they totally fund the student publica- tions, rising production costs. Raising the student activity fee is a possibility that will be considered.

A- 10 The 1980 Quadrangle It ' s Still Broadstreet To Me Boatwright Hall Dedicated Spring 1980 In a formal ceremony on February 29, 1980, J.K. Boatwright, Jr. unveiled a bronze tablet dedicating as J.K. Boatwright, Sr. Hall, the three-story LaGrange College building formerly called Broadstreet Dormitory. Action by the Board of Trustees called for the change in name in memory of the late J.K. Boatwright, Sr., college benefactor who served as chairman of the board ' s executive committee from 1956 to 1962, and as a member of the Board of Trustees from 1952 to his death on July 17, 1976. Charles D. Hudson, Chairman of the LC Board of Trustees and acting President of the college then, presided at the service which was attended by members of the Boatwright family, members of the college ' s Board of Trust ees, other college officials, faculty, and friends of the Boatwright family. LaGrange students were not invited to the dedication. Dr. Waights G. Henry, Jr., La- Grange College Chancellor, presented dedicatory remarks saying, In placing the name of James Kennerly Boat- wright on this building and presenting this plaque on the wall we honor a man who has meant much to LaGrange College. He became the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees at a time when resourceful and dynamic leadership was required. He would be the first to emphasize that no man can built effectively unless someone else has laid the proper foundations. Other Executive Commit- tee Chairmen had struggled and hoped for the events that came to fruition under J.K. Boatwright. For the first 117 years, LaGrange College constructed seven buildings. That was in the period of 1831 to 1948. For the next nine years the house was set in order and growth plans estab- lished. Then in the seven years of his Chairmanship of the Executive Com- mittee Mr. Boatwright led in the construction of eight new buildings: 1957 - Turner Hall; 1959 - gymnasium; 1959 - Manget building; 1962 - Broad Street Dormitory; 1962 - dining hall; 1963 - library; 1964 - chapel; 1964 - President ' s home on Vernon Road. We thank God for him and his dedication to LaGrange College. MUSE . . . (continued from p. 8) We are being misled, John Hall states categorically. You ' ve got to face the fact that the government will lie to us, and we ought to know that corporations will lie to us when they stand to make a profit. It shouldn ' t be surprising that with $140 billion invested in nuclear power over the last thirty years, the companies involved continue to say there ' s no risk involved. These people put the short-run gain above the long-term risk. We ' ve just got to find out if enough people will stand up for the right to live. Hall contends, We have the capability right now to switch from nuclear power to alternatives, but the only solar applications that the energy industry ' s interested in are the ones they can send you a bill for. The underlying political question is whether we ' ll continue to get more and more dependent on centralized multibillion- dollar conglomerates who supply us with our lifeblood over the wires, or whether we ' ll regain a measure of control and power over our lives. SGA Committee Had Good Ideas- Not Continued (an editorial) In an effort to improve dining conditions in the cafeteria, the SGA decided it would be a good idea to form a Food Committee to give suggestions to the cafeteria manager and to have some say in what was served at mealtimes. This idea turned out to be good in theory, but failed as a way of improving eating conditions. Although the com- mittee did succeed in getting steak sauce on the tables, and garlic butter for the French bread, they failed to continue a program of new suggestions which could have led to a better attitude toward college meals. One member of the committee was even banned from attendance at future meetings because he was unable to meet at the appointed times. This member may have been able to at least keep new ideas coming even if he couldn ' t attend the formal meetings. As a result of the committee ' s failure, student attendance at meals got progressively worse throughout the 1979-80 school year. Students would eat out, or go without eating - a situation which should not exist in a school with a 900 student population. This clearly shows the need for action to be taken. The Food Committee of the SGA is a sound idea, and more emphasis should be placed on its activities and sugges- tions by the SGA. Members of the committee should be able to voice student opinion as to what could be served and how it is served and everyone - even the ARA Food Services people - would benefit from changes for the better in the LC dining hall.
