It is the nature of human beings to cast beyond themselves and to lack disertion. As college students, our responsibility to ourselves as an part of society de mands that, wo improve every phase of our being. We find in a younger child the ability of observation and imita tion. In an older person of college; age, one expects to find an increas ing ability of observation and cer tainly a lessor degree of imitation STUDENT ACTIVITIES AND CHAPEL At the beginning of school Pres ident Ingram made an announce ment to the effect that one chapel period each week would be of a de votional nature and the other giv- .l over to student activities. So far, all of these chapel hours have been given to some honorable speaker of this section or to a pastor of one of the local church es. It is now time for the students to take part in these programs. There is such a large number of student activities established on STAR DRY CLEANERS, Inc. CLOTHING CLEANED, PRESSED AND REPAIRED.

We give you the best and charge no more than others do for inferior work and mater ial. West Georgia Students always have an invi tation to make our place their headquarters when in town. We thank you. with an increasing thought for himself as an indivdlual, uninflu enced by the opinion of others. In our student activities we find ready examples of people led in the right or wrong direction by the leaders who have thought through their course of action. College, to be a success, develops to the highest degree all possibil ities of an individual. As Shakes peare Hay*, it is common for young people to rush in where mature judgment fears to tread. We are on, or approaching, the threshold of life. Are we making the best prep oration possible for sound thinking, high ideals and mature life? This is a question the world will ask of us. Let us then be prepared. the campus, each in competion for the best students, that it does seem that one of them could show its progresslveness by giving an in teresting program. It is time that some of them were showing their usefulness to the college. The facul ty is eager to see these various so defies organized and conducted in an advantageous manner, but the school as a whole will not know of their advancement until some re suts are show®. < THE WEST GEORGIAN Examinations— A Dissertation (Editor’s note:—The eminent sign test and contractor, Dr. iiaye U. iNutt has most graciously consent ed to give a short discussion of his new tneory, Exammoiogy. We are extremely proud and honored to present hirn to our readers with our compliments.) Hark ye of the woeful mien, the doieiui mourning Iook? A stude is incensed, a professor indignant at a question asking the reason. By this time we feeDly waver, "This must be exam week,” to receive a sorrowful "No; just the week be fore.” I have made an extensive study of examinations and the cause of their existence, and I have arrived at the conclusion, that they are a complete- nuisance and have no reason whatever for being kept alive. 1 can see already tile right eous indignation of all the instruc tors popping out at this affront to their atflueiue. However, if they care to apply themselves to a most careful and diligent course ot study, I will gladly outline to them in a series of deep lectures my pro found and lathomless theory. To facilitate a more sympathetic understanding betwen the student and teacher, let us consider a few of the less arduous of the reason ings. i contend that no examina tions should be given in college oecause: First, a student has to suffer tile indignity of monthly tests in high school. Therefore, a student, by the time he has reach ed college is of such superior Knowledge to be above tests, or e..ams, as they are called. It is a supreme insult to suppose that a college lreshman or . t-i, a soph omore would sit in class and not absorb every bit of knowledge im puted in that course. Do not exams say in a subtle way, “You just wait; I’ll ball you up so with au my intricacies that you 11 not even have a chance to pass that which you know so well, so perfectly?’ Second, it a nuisance both to students and ■ Can not ,ou recall the countless hours of ourning the midnight oil to con jure puzzling questions, teachers? students, can not you remember the worry you have had to under go because you were in sympathy with the teachers who had to burn the candle at both ends to waste the fruits of their efforts in an nour s time, seeking to receive per fect papers? Third, (this is my brain), life is short; no one has time to live as he wishes, broadening himself with the unnumbered pleasures that await you every,side. Why not, then, take the time allotted to examina tions and spend it in a more prof itable way? As we agreed above, they are a nuisance; away with them! I am sure that all of you are in comprehensive accord wdth my ar guments. Any that are interested in a further study may call at my office or write to the station to which you are now listening. CLUBS OF W. C. C. SHOULD CODUCT CHAPEL EXERCISES Some are realizing the embarass ment of our President in having to ask the most worthy ministers of Carrollton to conduct practically all of our chapels, however good they are. It should be an embarass ment to the student body to let such a case continue. Let all the clubs with the co operation of the faculty and president’s council work out a definite program for the future. The students should awaken from their benightedness and grasp this opportunity offered us by the faculty before it is taken from us for disuse.

HONORARY SCIENCE CLUB HOLDS FIRST MEETING The Honorary Science Club at West Georgia held its first formal meeting in the administration buidling Tuesday evening, No vember 28, 1933.

SCHEDULES ARRANGED FOR WINTER QUARTER Several were spent last week registering for the Winter Quarter of school. The sophomore had quite a time fittinf their she dule with the handicap of differ ences of credits from other schools. The freshmen spent long and ar dous hours Wednesday afternoon wrestling with their schedule to insure them that no such conflict will confront them next year. Most of the classes for next quarter will have a full capacity, giving the instructors as well as students a heavy load. THE COLLEGE “Y” SPONSORS SOCIAL The college Y sponsored a social on Saturday evening, November 18 in the grove.

Pro fessor and Mrs. Howell were chap erones and added much enjoyment, to the occasion. DRAMATIC CLUB GIVES SUCCESSFUL PLAY (Continued from page 1) the care-free Algernon Moncrief, who could cure or kill his hypo thetical invalid friend, Bunbury, as it suited him, Sherman Ripple deserves real commendation. Mr. Ripple played his part with a light ness and good humour that reflect ed what must have been Wilde’s own conception of Algernon. Algernon’s slightly more serious friend, Jack Worthington, was ab ly played by Kress Entrekin. Mr. Entrekin, as Jack, with the imag inary brother Earnest, made an excellent foil for Mr. Ripple’s Al gernon, with the imaginary inval id, Bunbury. Mr. Entrekin’s best work was probably in the last scenes, when as Jack he learned to his dismay that he had been" speaking the truth all his life with out knowing it. Louise Tyus and Eleanor Brisin dine, as Gwendolyn and Cecily re spectively, gave creditable per formances. Miss Tyus as Gwend olyn, the young lady who never changed except in her affections, was charming and amusing. Miss Lrisindine as the romantic Cecily was delightfully petulant in her interpretation of the part. Frances Brock as Lady Brack nell was convincing in her por trayal of the materialistic aunt who could see no charm in Cecily until she was assured of Cecily’s inheriting a fortune. Miss Brock s hauteur and condescension were very effective. Miss Prism was played splendid ly by Elaine Collins. Miss Collins, as the governess who “in a mo ment of mental abstraction” years before had confused the manu script of a novel with a baby, did a hard part well. Miss Prism s se date lover, who would like to hang upon her lips—‘“metophoricaliy speaking, ’ was done by Fielding Towns, w T ell cast as Dr. Chasuble, the village parson. Miss Collins drew the most spontaneous laugh of the evening when, at the end of the play she threw herself in the parson s arms and cried with im measureable relief in her voice, Frederick, at last!” Don Barfield and Lowell Varner as the two butlers, though they had minor parts, performed their ser vile tasks with grace and finish. The Dramatic Club is under the able direction of Prof. Robert M. Strozier who has had several years experience in coaching col lege dramatics.
