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.

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.

The 1980 Quadrangle A ll Student-Teacher Reunion Witnessed On LC Campus Well-known Georgia author and journalist Paul Hemphill paid a visit to the LC campus to give a lecture as part of the spring quarter 1980 Forum program. Requesting that he be allowed to meet and talk with interested students, Hemphill, along with his teacher-host University in 1959 with a major in speech and a double minor in English and Journalism. He was a member of Blue Key honor society, played baseball for Auburn, and was sports editor of Auburn ' s Plainsman when the Tigers were named first place in football in 1957. In 1958 he was a summer intern first meeting, Dr. Jones remembers Hemphill as a very confused fresh- man. He steered Hemphill into the journalism field when he (Jones) taught at Auburn, then Alabama Polytechnic Institute. Hemphill has published four books: The Nashville Sound; Mayor: Notes G .lasinski Dr. Walter Jones, met with a small gathering the night before the lecture was scheduled. In his extremely relaxed talk with prospective journalism students, Hemphill expressed a genuine interest in their futures and warned, it ' s not easy to make it. A native of Birmingham, Alabama, Hemphill graduated from Auburn in the sports department at the Atlanta Constitution. Admitting that baseball has always been his first love, Hemphill reflected, I wish I wanted to write as bad as I once wanted to play baseball. Perhaps the most notable of Hemphill ' s lecture was the fact that he takes no credit for his success - he gives it all to Dr. Jones. In a re-telling of their on the Sixties (on former Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. of Atlanta); The Good Old Boys; and Long Gone, his first novel. He has two more novels awaiting publication: Too Old to Cry, an anthology of Hemphill journalism; and tentatively-titled Down Home, a collection of his essays on being a Southerner.
