The 1980 Quadrangle A-5 Alumus Fred Brown Returns to LC as Editor of Brown ' s Guide to GA. SGA Sponsors Talent Show The Student Government Associa- tion sponsored its first annual Talent Show early in March. The event attracted some 200 spectators, maybe because the 200th person entering Price Theater got a gift certificate from Mansour ' s. Anyway, under the direction of Gail Manning, the show was a success judging from the audience ' s response to the nearly twenty acts that appeared on stage. Spec Clark served as Master of Ceremonies. Winning first place was Jenny McCook for her performance of Noth- ing from A Chorus Line. Second place was taken by Murphy Pace and the Naturals, alias Betty Rosser, Carlos Heard, LePearl Baker, and Van Robin- son, singing, Prayin ' . The third place winner was Ken Reese, who sang the Barry Manilow tune, Where Are They Now? G. Jaainsk: The antics of Michael Marlin insulted some of his audience, but entertained the majority of those turning out for his show at Price Theater. LaGrange College alumnus Fred Brown, who is editor and publisher of his own mag azine, Brown ' s Guide to Georgia, gave a lecture to interested students as part of the fall quarter forum programs. Brown ' s appearance coincided with the opening of a photo contest spon- sored by Brown ' s Guide to Georgia held at the Chattahoochee Valley Arts Association. Brown, a native of Atlanta, received his A.B. degree from LaGrange College in 1964, with a major in history. While at LC he was editor of the college newspaper, The Hilltop News, and was named to Who ' s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. He has been active in the LC Alumni Association, serving as National president in 1971. Following his graduation, Brown worked on newspapers in Massachu- settes and Georgia before accepting a position with Delta Airlines in 1966. At Delta he was editor of the in — house publication before being named assis- tant public relations director for the Atlanta-based airline In December, 1972, while still at Delta, Brown published the first issue of Brown ' s Guide to Georgia. At that time it was a quarterly and the December issue contained articles on hiking, biking, a restaurant review, and a museum tour in its 32 pages. Less than two months later the magazine went bi-monthly and had over 100 pages. Today, Brown ' s magazine is a monthly publication with a circulation of over 65,000. With just a dozen employees, the magazine is a quality G. Jasinski Fred Brown is an alumnus of LaGrange College - his Brown ' s Guide currently has a circula- tion of over 65,000 issues month- ly. He plans to expand his guide to include other states in the future. guide to recreation in the state, and also features in-depth stories on subjects of general interest to its readers. My hope, Brown says, is to make our publication a guide in every way: economically, politically, as well as ecreationally. It is interesting to note that the first time Brown spoke on the campus, his lecture was boycotted as a part of a student boycott of all forum pro- grams. When a student at LaGrange, Brown was an active participant in boycotts and protests of that nature.

A-4 The 1980 Quadrangle Convocation (continued from p. 1) Grange, West Central Georgia, and the entire state and region. The College is on the threshold of a new era. It is poised and ready to play in the future an even greater role of leadership in the field of Christian higher education in the state and region. I am thrilled to be able to play a part in this future and pledge to continue the College ' s dedica- tion to academic quality, to keep close its ties with The United Methodist Church, and the community of La- Grange, to seek vigorously to recruit outstanding, worthy young people who can profit from its educational program, to continue to employ the principles of sound fiscal management and to work tirelessly to strengthen the College ' s endowment. I look forward to working with the Board of Trustees, the students and faculty, alumni, citizens of LaGrange, and the United Methodists of Georgia, he added. A native of Chester, S.C., Dr. Murphy was reared in Thomaston, Ga. He received his A.B. degree from Emory University, Magna Cum Laude in 1950, and his Master of Divinity degree from the Candler School of Theology at Emory University in 1953. LaGrange College honored him with a Doctor of Divinity degree in 1978. Dr. Murphy was a member of the North Georgia Conference of The United Methodist Church from 1952 to 1967. During that time he served as minister of United Methodist churches in Decatur, Newton County, Dekalb County and Athens. He was director of religious life at Oxford College, Emory University from 1959 to 1962. At this time he also served as minister of the Allen Memorial Church in Oxford. From 1966 to 1976 he was at Florida State College in Lakeland, Florida where he served in various positions including Dean of Students and Executive Vice President. It ' s possible that what happened that night in the LC cafeteria was all a hoax. It ' s possible - but it wasn ' t. Too many people left the performance with their mouths hanging open in disbelief for it to be a hoax. That performance was, of course, the Mr. Fingers Show supremely presented by Mr. Irv Weiner. Weiner, better known as Mr. Fingers, has been around the magic circuit for quite a while, and it is certainly evident. It ' s evident not only in the way he performs his tricks but also in the way he talks to his audience, using it as part of his act. He psyches them out - Notice how my little finger is extended. Watch it carefully ... it doesn ' t mean a thing - because he knows they ' re all there with one thing in mind. To find out how it ' s done. But Weiner won ' t oblige. That ' s not the way magic works. Weiner ' s tricks deal with the mind as well as with the eye. The eye is exploited when he sticks a hatpin through his arm and actually draws blood and when he manages to get a steel ring around each of his arms with his thumbs securely taped. The mind is exploited when you believe what you saw. Everyone in the audience saw it but no one saw it at all. Weiner had heads shaking throughout the entire show. What people once held as fantasies were now happening right in front of them. The son of two deaf mutes, Weiner learned early to communicate with his hands and other body language. At age three I was an actor. The kids used to call me Fingers Weiner. Thus, the name of his travelling show. Weiner studied how to recreate the greats. I ' d take their themes and embroider upon their routines. My magic has a startling effect. Magic is little miracles. It ' s creating the impossible. But it is possible in the true art of magic. The performer said he carries a tremendous amount of things to the various campuses, because he adapts his show content to the individual campus. Whatever it was, magic or mind- bending, it was amazing, and that is what Weiner tried to get across to his audience, Magic is a great act. It ' s too bad we don ' t see it as much anymore, he said. According to Weiner, his show was an act. To the people who witnessed it, it was more like an experience. An act is sawing someone in half in order to deceive the eyes. Having your mind toyed with is more than that - it ' s for real.

A-6 The 1980 Quadrangle G. Jasinski G. Jasinski Editorial cartoonist of The Atlanta Constitution Clifford H. ( Baldy ) Baldowski demonstrates his talent at the program held in the Callaway Science Building. Chalk Talk Presented to Students Editorial cartoonist for The Atlan- ta Constitution Clifford H. ( Baldy ) Baldowski presented a chalk talk and lecture at LaGrange College at a fall quarter forum program. A native of Augusta, Georgia, Baldowski was educated at The Citadel, Charleston, S.C., and the Art Students League in New York City. Baldowski ' s by-line Baldy has appeared on editorial cartoons in The Atlanta Constitution seven days a week since 1957. In 1959 he won the National Sigma Delta Chi award for Distin- guished Service in Journalism for his reflections on the school crisis facing the South. In 1960, Time magazine called him one of the South ' s leading appeals to reason. In 1963, the International Council on Human Relations of The United Methodist Church asked him to com- pile a book of his cartoons on civil rights for publication during the latter part of 1964. In 1965, the National Council of Parents and Teachers honored him with a lifetime membership in that organiza- tion for his work on school drop-outs. Baldowski has participated in a university lecture series at Tulane University, North Carolina State, Mt. Olive College, and the University of Florida. He offered attending students the opportunity to ask questions regarding journalism as a career, and used his chalk drawing pad extensively through- out the lecture. If it ' s not (continued from p. 1) And then there was the time when the ground got covered with snow (the first time) and everyone turned out for the giant snowball battle in the parking lot. The LaGrange Police decided to get in on the action and drove one of their cars onto the campus only to be bombarded by several snowballs which bounced off their auto. The officer inside got out of the car and threatened to take everyone present down to the jail to spend the evening. One student decided to challenge the officer and it appeared as though the poor chap would have to exist on bread and water for a few days. The student kept talking, though, and the officer left without incident. The wizardry of Mr. Fingers amazed and intrigued many students - he affected one student so deeply that the student fainted during the show in the cafeteria. It was later learned that the student was not under the influence of the magic, but under the influence of something of a more distilled nature. Then there was the controversial and ever popular Indies vs. Pi Kappa Phi football game last fall. It seems that one of the players on the Indie team was ineligible for competition since he had not attended one of his classes that day. The Indies went on to win the contest, not knowing that this player was ineligible to compete, and later found that they would not be considered the winner of the game since this infraction had been committed. Although players on both teams were divided as to how the ruling should have been handled, it did not affect the decision made by Coach Hugh Corless. Maybe there should be a change in some of the rules? (continued) on p. 16)
