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.

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.

A-12 The 1980 Quadrangle The Invaders Are Coming! As you walk down the shoppi ng mall, hoping to spot some tremendous sale in one store or another, you find yourself strangely compelled toward the north end of the mall, towards one of the larger anchor stores. Space-like and even more bizarre sounds are emitting from the small opening that leads into one of the stores - no, it ' s not a store; rather, it appears to be one of those pinball parlors one only reads about in books. You say to yourself, I only have five dollars to my name!! What am I entering this place for? Mind attempts to overcome matter, but before you know it, you ' re standing right in front of one of those machines of the devil. You are standing in front of, of course, the Space Invaders computer-video game. Quarter after quarter falls into the slot in an attempt to beat the high score posted on the top of the beast, daring you to break the record. A crow d of critics gathers around you who slyly observe each shot of the laser base, waiting for a fumble or delayed reaction. Row upon row of the pregnant invaders excrete their fatal drops in an attempt to shorten your game. You feel the tension spreading throughout your body. You are rude to friends who shove their faces in front of the screen to obstruct your view. Suddenly, the UFO appears, and, as you attempt to obliterate it, blows you up. You reach for another quarter - you have become a Space Invaders addict. Created by the Taito American Corporation of Japan, Space Invaders is marketed in America by Stan Jarocki of Midway. He explains the games popularity by stating, It ' s the competi- tiveness. As the player becomes more skillful, the computer responds accord- ingly. It ' s having the ultimate oppo- nent. The result is that a romance seems to develop between the player and the game. Space Invaders is an appropriate name for the video game. Video games were originally developed out of technology that was created for the space program. Perhaps the most mesmerizing aspect of game is the pulsating heartbeat sound the machine emits when you play. The heartbeat quickens as you eliminate invaders. The Space Invaders sound is the basis of a disco record recently released in Japan. Maybe someday someone will get to the point where he can play no better as he defeats the machine and a new cult will be named for him. Until then, the supply of quarters held in pockets will certainly be decreased. (i. Jasinski Even the Space Invaders console is a menace that stands before the competitor. Through the use of a heartbeat sound, the machine causes blood pressure to rise and adrenelin to flow.
