LaGrange Gets
Praise, As Well
As Affirmation
LaGrange College
administrators received
word this month that the
school's accreditation has
been reaffirmed by the
Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools (SACS)
Commission on Colleges.
A SACS reaffirmation
committee spent two days on
the LaGrange College cam-
pus last April, studying the
college's compliance to more
than 500 policy and proce-
dure requirements for
accreditation.
Based on their findings,
the group made just 9 rec-
ommendations, only two of
which require follow-up
action on the part of the col-
lege. After the group's exit
report last spring,
Committee Chair Dr. James
Davis called the review "one
of the best he had ever seen."
YOURS? Do you know
whose dog this is? The
dog had broken his leash
and was wandering
around in the projects last
week. When he was dis-
covered, his leash had
become tangled in a
hand rail at the projects
and he couldn't get
loose. The police were
called and city workers
came and picked him up.
