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.

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.

The 1980 Quadrangle A-13 Fifteen Years At LC Gratifying, Trying, For Dean John R. Love For fifteen brief, gratifying, and often trying years, John R. Love has been Dean of Students of LaGrange College. A Graduate of Wofford, a small Methodist college in Spartanburg, South Carolina, Dean Love spoke fondly of his years at LC. With minimum hesitation he related in- cidents of former years complete with names, dates, and specific details. He could produce, upon request, • papers, and business letters pertaining to various Student Government Associa- tion activities, punishments for rule violations, and other school affairs. One incident involved a young man who, after imbibing rather heavily one evening, wreaked havoc throughout dorm and parking lot. Upon being confronted by Dean Love, the young man confessed to the various misdeeds and was brought to trial before a group of his peers. Since the culprit lacked only the remainder of the quarter to graduate, his jury decided that he should undergo solitary confinement rather than be dismissed from the campus. The student was given specific orders as to where he could venture at what hours, and to whom he might speak. With a shake of his head, Dean Love told of the nights he has passed the young man ' s room to find him quietly engaged in marking his scores as he played solitaire. Of course, remarked Dean Love with a smile, the rules have evolved over the years and modern rules and discipline now prevail. As an example of the evolution of those rules, Dean Love outlined the duties of his first years at LC. He spent a great deal of his time lecturing wayward students and advising them of their misconduct. In addition, he spoke with students who acquired excessive demerits for offenses such as breach of curfew. Tracing the curfew changes over the past fifteen years, Dean Love reported that the young men of LaGrange College have never had a curfew. Only female students have been forced to labor under the restrictions of sign-out sheets, sign-in sheets, and severe penalities for failure to comply. Freshmen girls ' dormitories at one time were locked each week night at ten o ' clock; those girls coming in at inappropriate hours were issued demer- its, or, for multiple offenses, sent home. In November of 1972 it was decided that young ladies who had a 2.0 average or better would be exempt from curfew. Later the curfew was lifted entirely. Dean Love listed the advantages of being at LC as its small size, the opportunity to know with whom one is dealing, and the fact that students will communicate with those people who hold authority. Dean Love emphasized that, in dealing with student discipline, he keeps two thoughts in mind. The first is pertaining to what he would have done had he been in the student ' s position. The second involves what disciplinary action he would have wanted for his own children had they been in the same situation. Changes Dean Love would like to see at LaGrange College include the building of the new student center, the addition of more parking spaces for students, and a look at the existing visitation rules on campus. In summation of his feelings about LaGrange, Dean Love confided, I ' ve been blessed with what the young people brought to me and with the challenge they brought to me. It keeps you young. After fifteen years of service to LaGrange College, Dean John R. Love is retiring in 1980. The Quadrangel wishes to speak in behalf of the entire student population in wishing him well in his retirement. Echoing what many students have said after Dean Love had advised them of their choices, Thanks, Dean Love. M Whm From his office on the second floor of Smith Building, Dean Love has spent a great deal of time lecturing wayward students and advising them of their misconduct.
