Romance is waining—not a vis
able romance on the campus!
What chance has this column?
EXPLANATION: The frigid at
mosphere of Henerietta towards
certain other admirers is due to
the return of Aubrey . Zachry, her
current heart-beat, from Rome.
“Chubby”: Let’s cut Physical
Science.
Va. Webb: Can’t do it! I need
the sleep.
This is no joke.
We wonder what ulterior motive
Mr. Strozier had when he put Pee
Wee Carter on the clean-up com
mittee for the town dance.
Did Miss Ward go to the theater
Wednesday to see the picture or
to aid this column in its purity
drive.
Miss Weaver attends library

Our No. 1 Bull Shooters even has
Lucile Portwood stumped.
This column wishes to express
the appreciation of the college for
the very enjoyable Halloween

The dining hall seems to be con
taminated at times with the lowly
house fly which gently sips the
molasses that tends to linger on
the plates from one week to anoth
er.
Our advice to certain Freshmen
boys—Remember the banana.
Every time it leaves the bunch It
gets skinned.
Is it possible that Bill Litton has
aspirations of signing up with the
House of David, or is it that he is
unable to borrow his room mate’s
razor.

IN THE FALL TOURNAMENT
DEFEATS JACKSON IN FINALS
SATURDAY
24 PLAYERS ENTER
3 Out of 5 SETS; 0-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-4, 6-2
O’Rear Treadaway defeated Tra
vis Jackson in the finals of the
tennis tournament November 9.
Friday’s tie of two sets all was
played off Saturday afternoon.
If each tournament revealed hid
den diamonds as the annual fall
tennis tournament has during the
past two week§, it would be advis
able to have one each week. Al
tho progress towards the finals
has been slow, hardly a day pass
ed but what several good matches
were fought.
A short summary of the early
rounds is:
T. Jackson, seeded number one,
experienced little difficulty in put
ting Bohannon out of the running
by the scores of 6-0, 6-1.
Doug Bishop, also seeded, won
his first match from J. G. (Pop
eye) Robertson with the scores of
6-3, 6-2.
Two Jones boys t Philip and
James entangled in the first round,
and the latter came out victorious,
6-0 6-2.
O. N. Todd, unknown in the ten
nis circles here, sprung a big upset
in disposing of Bill Bowden in a
close match, the scores being 6-2,
5- 6-2. Todd took the offensive at
the start, and had things going his
way almost thruout the match.
Another very good player whose
light has shown forth in this
tournament is James Cowart, who
made quick work of Hansard, 6-1,
6-
Bung Barrett downed Stewart
McKibben in their first round
match. As the scores indicate, this
was a hardfought duel. The scores
were 7-5, 6-4.
Jack Stevens was eliminated by
Jack Smith by the scores of 6-1,
6-
In the longest match of the
tournament Lovett Newell out
stroked and out-lasted Reaves to a
7- 6-4 victory.
Treadaway, seeded, went into
the second round by Gilham’s for
feit of their match.
Owen Malcolm defeated Ed Col
vin 6-2, 6-0 in a rather impressive
manner.
D. Dickey forfeited to Billy
Johnson.
Jack Stone, another seeded en
(Continued on page 3)
Todd, Robert Dickey, and Robert
Jackson.
The final selections having been
made, the club has already begun
work on a program of songs. Wide
spread interest has always been
taken in the Men’s Glee Club by
the student body and friends of
the college, and from all reports
the club this year will be the best
that West Georgia has yet produc
ed.
The following officers were elect
ed: President, Ewell Holloman,
Vice-President, Tom Smith; Sec
retary, D. L. Taylor.
Plunkett: What do you think
would go well with my new purple
and green golf sox?”
Stone: High boots. —Log.

dents, vice-presidents, and secretar
ies of all the organizations as well
as the editors of the publications
were included in the number. The
tentative name of this organiza
tion, “Officers’ Club,” was propos
ed at this meeeting.
The purpose of the club was out
lined by the faculty sponsors as
follows: “This club is organized
to conduct the business of the stu
dent body and serve as a student
council, and to act as a parlimentairy
training school for its members.”
It was further suggested that
due to its executive as well as
judiciary powers, this club should
be the force that will “foster
school spirit on this campus.”
Official elections for the coming
term v r ere also held. Barrett was
voted chairman, and Elizabeth
Burnham was elected secretary.
The student activities represented
are: The West Georgian, The
Chieftain, The Board of Athletic
Managers, Mu ‘ Zuta Alpha, Pin
Sigma Alpha, French Club, Debat
ing Club, Ciceronian Literary So
ciety, Hawthorne Literary Society,

Smith Urges Students
To Make Deposits
On Annuals
BUSINESS STAFF ADDED
An opportunity is being
provided for those who wish to
make their initial payment on the
West Georgia annual now. This
payment is an assurance of the
student body to the editor and
business manager of the Chief
tain that the school wishes to have
an annual for the year 1935-36 and
that it is willing to support the ef
forts of the staff in producing one.
The editor cannot sign any con
tracts until he has sufficient de
posits to assure him of the suc
cess of his efforts. If the students
really want an annual this year
to serve as a lasting picture of
their life at West Georgia and a
monument to their achievements,
they should respond to the appeal
of the editor and take this oppor
tunity to show their willingness to
cooperate.
To control the financial side of
the annual a capable staff of busi
ness assistants have been selected.
They are: Lovett Newell, Bob
Richardson, Julian Freel, Aubrey
Jones, Betty Ann Sewell, Dorothy
Justice, Jeianqitte Pennington, Grace
Rushin, J. G. Robertson, Nadine

Strozier Submits Lyceum Program;
Russian Speaker To Open Series
An interesting year of Lyceum
engagements will begin on Thurs
day. Nov. 9, with a lecture by Mr.
Pierre Porahovshikov. Mr. Pora
hovshikov will speak on Russia
as it was before the Revolution,
and as he lived in Russia up until
the time of the Revolution, when,
with his family he was forced out
with other members of the aristo
cracy, his speech should prove
both interesting and authoroita
tive.
For the past several years, Mr.
Porahovshikov has made his home
in Georgia. He has made numer
ous lectures at Emory, the Univer
sity of Georgia, and Oglethorpe
University.
Mr. Porahovshikov is an advanc

should take advantage of an op

UPHOLDS AFFIRMATIVE IN
SOCIALIZED MEDICINE
M.Z.A. Defeats P.S.A.
W. G. C. UPHOLDS PROPOSED
DEBATING LEAGUE
Abraham Baldwin College at Tif
ton has accepted the challenge of
the West Georgia College Debat
ing Club for a debate on socialized
medicine, November 5 at seven o'-
clock in the college auditorium.
The negative team of Abraham
Baldwin composed of Field and
Rainwater met the affirmative
team of West eGorgia composed of
Mr. Edwin Rogers and Miss Lucille
Portwood. Mr. Glenn Hogan and
Mr. Marion Huddleston traveled
to Tifton to meet Abraham Bald
win’s affirmative team. These al
ternate teams debated on the
same subject. Both debates were
non-decision.
The subject for discussion was:
Resolved: that the several states
should enact legislation providing
for a complete system of medical
care available to all at public ex
pense. This question has been a
subject of interested discussion on
our campus for some time.
On Tuesday night, November 5
there was a debate on socialized
medicine between teams selected
fiorn Mu Ze.a Alpha, honorary
Science club, and Phi Sigma Al
pha, honorary Social Science club.
Participants were: affirmative,
Edwin Rogers and Lucille Port
wood from Mu Zeta Alpha; Wil
liam Kelly and Virgil Barrett, neg
ative, irom Phi Sigma Alpha. The
decision was given to Mu Zeta Al
pha, upholding the affirmative.
This debate was the climax of a
heated rivalry between the two
clubs for campus leadership. Mu
Zeta Alpha claims supremacy of
all the honorary clubs, having
been established first, while Phi
Sigma Alpha has the distinction of
being the only national fraternity
on the campus. It has been point
ed out that the outcome of this
contest was of considerable im
portance to the competitive stand
ing of these two clubs and also
threw considerable light on the
outcome of the battle with Tifton.

plans to have Mr. Sam Chivar,
who has studied for the past sev
eral years at Heidelberg, Germany,

en by Mr. George Roffalovich, who
will discuss France.
Further announcements will be
made later concerning plans for
the following months, but it is an
assurance that something special
and entertaining will be given
every months throughout the year.
