Newspaper Page TextM. G. C. IS GROWING VOLUME NO 2 THE KERNEL MIDDLE GEORGIA COLLEGE, COCHRAN, GA., JAN., 1932 WATCH US GROW NO. 5 INCREASED ENROLLMENT FOR SECOND TERM You Have Decided Wisely Middle Georgia College resumed work Wednesday morning Dec. 30th with a larger enrollment than before the holidays. Several excellent stu dents registered for the first time. The office is now in correspondence with several mor e who will enter at an early date. It is not'strange at all that when times are financially depressed more students are enrolled in schools and colleges. That is the time to go. Jobs are difficult to get and young men and women can live at the av erage State College cheaper or as cheap as they are able to live at home if all expenses are carefully watched. When the depression is over those who are prepased will get better positions and will outstrip their fellows. Do not let anyone fool you. It is still and always will be, the prepared man or woman who Will eventually get and hold the most important positions. This is just as true of society as of finances, or re ligion. It is the man who feels his need of better training and is sore be cause he did not get it who stands around the corner whittling and says that education does not pay. He is an enemy to his brother and not a friend. What shall we say of Georgia if the State does not feel its need for better education among the great masses. Let all Georgians think well before teachers salaries are cut before roads are favored to the det- triment of schools, before frolic and fun is preferred to culture and re finement. I congratulate the fine student body of Middle Georgia College up on its wise choice. Go to college if it takes a sacrifice. Picture Programs At M. G. C. Each Monday night the school is sponsoring moving pictures in the school auditorium. Mr. Browning has engaged a representative of the R - C. A. Vitaphone Corporation to show these pictures. V arious schools throughout middle Georgia have these picture programs each week and now M. G. C. is following their Pfen. The pictures will be the same as those appearing in the theaters of file larger cities, all are sound pie ces; no silent pictuhes will be shown. Along with the regular feature Picture, a Pathe News reel and an attraction of about two reels IVL G. C. Places Men On AH State Team Junior College select*cn of 1931, In placing six men on the all state the M. G. C. eleven had a majority of the players, due to the fact that the entire team displayed its super iority by winning the Junior College Championship. A great deal of credit goes to these boys who have earned places on this team as it was only by hard work and their excel lent ability to play football that this honor was bestowed upon them. Be sides placing six men on the first team, M. G. C. also placed three men on the second team. Those making the first team for M. G. C. were: “Lefty’’ Eubanks, end, from Macon; “Red” Davis, guard, from Darlington, S. C.; Cor bet Williamson, guard, from Macon; Elwood Barbre, tackle, from Macon; Jack Slaton, quarter-back, from At lanta; and James Linder, half-back, from Dublin.

The roof has been put on, the framing for the rooms is up, and all the windows have been put in, thus completing what is almost a $25,000 hull. As yet most of the inside of the dormitory has not been finished, but when it is completed it will have all of the modern conveniences. Each room will have one double deck bed, one chiffonier, two chairs, one table, two closets, running water, and will be steam heated, Besides the 60 rooms for the students there will be two apartments for teachers, a re ception room, and two bath rooms. This dormitory has been secured for the students of Middle Georgia College by its President, L. II. Browning, who through careful man agement of the financial affairs has saved enough money to do this won derful piece of work for the young citizens of the surrounding country. Until the present date there has been absolutely no appropriation made by the State to help in the building of the new dormitory. Mr. Browning hopes that the new Board of Regents will give their au thority to complete and furnish the dormitory at an early date. The in creased number of girls during this year, and the lack of dormiotry , Space for them shows that a new dormitory for the girls is also need ed. Three Football Players T. I. Brown the big 200 pound tackle played a great game of foot ball against Norman Jr. College. T. I. turned out to be a real wheel- horse and stopped many opponent plays. T. I. hails from Pineview and never had much football experience before coming to Middle Ga. but he played the game as a veteran. T. I. graduates this year from the Jr, Col lege work and Middle Ga. loses an other good man but some senior col lege will have a great find in T, I. Bill Rawlins came to Middle Ga. from Eastman High where he played two years of football. Bill did not make the starting line-up but he was as valuable reserve as on the squad. Bill played several positions during the year and always filled them well. Bill has another year before gradu ation and next season should find him as starter. Zaelc Browning came out for the Spring Term Brings New Students to IVL G. C. ' We are very glad to have so many new students with us to start the Spring term. Although th^e ware a few who did not return after the holidays. The new students have brought the roll up higher than it was before Christmas. The new students are Mildred Witherington from Pineview and in the Sophomore College Class. George Stanton from Social Circle, Robin Quattlebaum of Rochelle, Woodrow Grimsley from Blakely, who are all Freshmen; Ernest Martin from Mc Rae, Joe Pickett, from Macon, Ken- nith Spivey, from Soperton, Eric Mc- Gough from Lilly, Harlod SusseTy, from Hawkinsville, and Mamie Clem ents from Fitzgerald, are in the High school department. Miss Mary Will Gordon and Miss Vivian Gay have enrolled in the Commercial department. We feel sure that they will like our school and we want them to know they are welcome and wish them much success. MERCER DEFEATS M. G. C. IN OPENER Middle Georgia College lost the first basket ball game of the season to the Mercer “Ramblers” last Sat urday night, Jan. 2. The score was Mercer 42. M. G. C. 16. For the first fifteen minutes of the game M. G. C. held the score down and play- ■ ed fine ball, but just before the half the Mercer forwards rang three field goals and the score at the half was Mercer 20, M G. C. 11. In the last half Mercer outplayed M. G. C. and scored 22 points to 5 for M. G. C. In this period Coach Morris used ten men, but no halt was made in the Mercer scoring. For Mercer all the five men used played fine ball, while Penning ton was best for M. G. C. He was high scorer for M. G. C. M, G. C. will play Macon “Trav elers” here Jan. 8th, Albany “Y” in Albany Jan. 12. and G. M. C. in Ma con 15, as a preliminary game to the Celtics game in the Macon auditor ium. first time since he has been at Mid dle Ga. and although light and small Zack was the best defensive man on the field. Zack can certainly tackle. Zack has three more years at Middle Ga. and before his time is up he should make a great athlete. A wise man will make more op portunities than he finds.
