The 1980 Quadrangle A-1 LAGRANGE COLLEGE 1980: If it ' s not one thing . . . Walter Murphy Succeeds Hagood Dr. Walter Murphy succeeded Dr. Charles L. Hagood as the twenty-first resident of LaGrange College on June L 1980. Dr. Hagood resigned his osition as president of LC 18 months ifter his inauguration. In announcing the appointment of )r.

We are all delighted to iave a man of Dr. Murphy ' s high aliber in this vital position. Contacted following the announ- ement, Dr. Murphy said, Since 1831, iaGrange College has offered the young â– eople of Georgia a program of quality ducation in a context of Christian ommitment. It has stressed both cademic excellence and quality living.

(The yearbook is always supposed to say that the year was unique, right?) Well, it really was unique considering all the rather bizarre occurances that took place here. This article will attempt to bring to the surface some of the events that caused the year to be unique. (If it ' s not one thing, it ' s another.) These are in no particular order, so assume that they went on all year long. First and foremost on this list is when the Coca-Cola man told the G Jasinski This little bronze boy was moved from his normal home one evening by some unknown moving company. He was overheard as saying, Maybe if I get this thorn out of my foot I could get back. Student Government Association Pre- sident Ron Dooley that either the students be nice to his machines, or the Coke supply to the Hill would be completely cut off. (Shades of horror!!) The vandalism complaint was certainly justified since Coke machines all over the campus were being butchered.

The Coke ma- chines remained on campus, in spite of reports of whole cases disappearing from the Coke truck. Since the Coke man must pay for these magical cases, this was another complaint. He solved the problem by acquiring a new truck with roll-down sides. Were you ever stopped by the traffic cop on campus as you drove up the driveway on your way to your eight o ' clock class so she could check and see if you had brought your parking sticker on your bumper that day? Not only did she delay you in getting to your class on time, but the inspection caused a line of autos to form that extended well into Vernon Street. Did you walk out of the dining hall one evening to find that the American flag had been replaced by the Canadian flag? The persons responsible for the switch were overheard saying, They won ' t draft anybody from this college! Or were you in attendance at the Quadrangle Sweetheart Dance when the fire extinguisher was set off in the basement of the gym filling the upstairs lobby with that wonderful chemical?
