At this planning retreat, the past year ' s SGA- sponsored activities were evaluated and many useful suggestions were made for the upcoming year. Among other things, the group enjoyed visiting the surrounding area, including De Soto Falls, craft and antique shops, playing cards constantly, burning the midnight oil putting a puzzle together, and completely pigging out! . . . We can certainly look forward to a new and exciting year! Greek Week . . . Thursday is the night for the mixers.

A-14 The 1980 Quadrangle Elsie Extra Alive And Well Since it began publishing in the Fall of 1978, the Elsie Extra, formerly The Hilltop News, has put in print some really interest- ing and bizarre articles. We have attempted to re-capture the pure journalistic nature of some of the more notable stories. Bible Study Postponed Due to certain conflicts, the Bible Study sponsored by Greeks will not be able to meet this week. The meetings will resume at the regularly scheduled time next Wednesday ni ght, October 3, at 9:00 on the first floor lobby of Henry Hall. LC ' s Parking Problem . . . it is going to mean sacrifice on the part of students. To be reasonable, said Dean Love, l ' we cannot reserve a space ' especially for you. ' We have a system we think works as well as possible within the geographical limitations. We cannot guarantee you a space, but we can give you some helpful suggestions These include: One, remember you will be ticketed if you violate parking rules. (These rules are relaxed after lunch, when the peak time has passed.) . . . We don ' t mean to make light of the problem; we know it exists and we welcome your sugges- tions and your co-operation, said Dean Love. The parking lots at Sunny Gables and Price Theatre are seldom filled. Use these! . . .

Theft Suspected At LC In the early morning hours of Monday, March 24, at approxi- mately 1:00 a.m., an alleged theft occured within the stairwell of Waights G. Henry Hall in the vicinity of the third floor. After a thorough investigation, authorities have been provided with the name of a suspect who was seen by a witness whose name cannot be released at this time. The witness allegedly was in the vicinity where the theft occurred. The item in question is an invaluable tool without which the SGA cannot function efficiently. The following description of the article stolen was given to investigators by Ms. Nancy Alford, Associate Dean of Students: A designer stapler measuring approxi- mately 8 to 10 inches in length with a color that could be described as canary yellow. Along with the stapler was also taken a box of 1000 designer staples. If this item is not returned within 48 hours to Box 148, the suspect ' s name shall be printed in the Elsie Extra with a complete account of the witness ' s statement given to investigators. Let your conscience and reputation be your guide. 5 1 A % h

A- 16 The 1980 Quadrangle Street (Boatwright) dorm assisted thej building maintenance people by paint- ing the walls of the hall for them. This 1 was characteristic of a rash of incidents; unique to 1980 at Broad Street. A high speed chase scene must) have been filmed one night on the! campus as several police cars paraded quickly across the Hill. The reason is still unknown. As a part of their induction into one of the sororities, the pledges stood up at dinner one evening and sang one of their fight songs. Immediately following the chorus, several members of the drama clique stood in their chairs and announced, Who the hell cares!??! Editor ' s note: The drama depart- ment personnel (who are firm in their opinions about Greek organizations) revived the drama faternity Alpha Psi Omega. If it ' s not . . . (continued from p. 6) The Student Government Associa- tion elections were held Winter quarter, and the contest turned into a race to see which candidate could get up the most posters before election day. Candidates also competed to see how large a banner could be hung at nearly any location on the campus. Each candidate chose which office he would like to seek - either directly or indirectly - with the exception of one of the office-seekers. This candidate was not allowed to seek the office he wanted to seek because he did not meet one of the requirements dealing with hours completed at LaGrange College. This same candidate was allowed to run in last year ' s election in lieu of the ineligibility for the office. The SGA serves all the students on the campus, and perhaps candidates should be allowed to run for the offices for which they feel they are qualified. An unknown (to us) candidate entered the race and had a good showing of voters at the ballot box. This candidate was none other than Mr. Ansley Snodgrass, who ran on a platform more solid than most of the other candidates. At one of the dinner hours shortly after the new SGA officers were elected, Stevie Carder announced that he would be making his last announcement in his term of office. The students in the cafeteria exploded with applause. Did you ever return to your dorm room after studying Chinese history for eight hours only to find that two people already occupied one of the beds? The residents of second floor Broad
