STROZIER STUDENT ADVISER LANIER SPENCE Cheating has been the object o : ninny discussions recently in bo‘h club meetings and student gath erings. Why should this subject be one of such major importance in our school? It Is because quiz papers and work done outside or class have been found to contain a great deal of evidence that shows definitely that not all students re ly upon their own initiative and abilities in doing required work. Although the number of those who take this unfair advantage of op portunities Is relatively small, It is the problem of the entire student body to defend themselves against these few. It Is not necessary to stress the fact that a cheater cheats only himself; we have ceased trying to appeal to his sense of fair play. It now remains to convince the re mainder of the student body that a united front against cheating must be formed by those who are interested in upholding the repu tation of Georgia College. A cheater destroys not only his own standlne, but violates the prlnc.F pies of the school as well. As soon as the average student loses the idea of proecting and abetting the cheater and looks on him as a meance to fair play, then his dis honesty will have to end. A cheat er relys on the esprit d’corps of the other students to protect him from exposure. The average stu dent would not tell on another THE OFFICER’S CLUB The highest ideal of living is contained in the cooperation of man with man. In a highly com plex society competition may be tlie rule, but cooperation is always the ideal. A suggestion has recent ly been offered that the leaders in the student activities on the camp us unite in a common organiza tion. The purpose of such an or ganization as the purposed officers club is to encourage student en lightenment on matters of com munity consideration, to act in de velopment of knowledge of parli mentarry procedure, and the du ties and responsibilities of the va rious officers of organizations such as Mu Zeta Alpha, Phi Sigma Al pha, Circle Francais, Alph Psi, De bating Club, Ciceronian and Haw thorne Literary Societies, the Glew Clubs, the West Georgian and the Chieftain. Problems of student interest, and of student leadership would be discussed among such a repre sentative group to the profit of our campus community. Such a club At the suggestion of several of the faculty members, a choir has been selected composed of mem bers of both Glee Clubs. This choir occupies the stage in the Chapel exercises and its purpose is to sponsor the music of our programs. The choir is composed of the fol lowing: Marian Baker, Evelyn Bal lard, Georgia M.

Rut why let this person be pro tected by our code when he is vio lating the code of honor of the campus and receiving recognition for achievement that he has stolen from us ? It is thought by some that cheat ing in the junior college is merely the hangover from high school, where it is more or less the “thing to do;” but in our opinion, when a student of college still persists in cheating, it ceases to be a childish practice and shows nothing but a lack of character. The student body should unite itself not to protect its erring members, but to wipe out this practice completely by making li impossible to receive help by un fair means and by establishing n penalty, commonly agreed on, to he used on persons found guilty. Students you are not asked to expose the persons whom you see cheating, but you are asked to de fend the reputation of your school and the recognition of your own ef forts by doing all in your power to make chea ing impossible for tnose unfortunates who are not strong enough to rely on their efforts and make the grade. would be a means of further de velopment of student-faculty co operation and mutual trust; this personal relationship and interest 'has always in the past been a source of inspiration to the indi viduals in the personnel of West Georgia College. It would be to our advantage to further any at tempt at such a relationship. Every officer in student organizations should realize the possibilities ot such a cooperative group as is here advanced. A meeting cf the officers of the campus organiza tions was recently called for the purpose of the formulation of such a club. There will soon be an ac tive body functioning in the man ner proposed, for the good of every student and his interests. You have trusted these several students who compose it with the adminis tration of your club within its own support their efforts as they wmrk for its betterment in relation to the other activities on our campus.

In the recreation room the spooks were hidden away, and most of the students agree that 'hey came to life in a big way when they visited there. An inter esting creature who had somehow escaped the grave after his Cue time of life was over, was strolling about the room welcoming the guests. A stumbling, beared old man of Ethiopian complexion led them down a bumpy pathway to a step-off, leaving most of them sprawled on the floor where lc> fingers clutched at their ankles and pushed them on. They soon found themselves in front of a wo man with a mangled appearance. Pale and cold, she lay on a bench between two of the windows. At last the old man led them over to one side and seated them in front of a witch who held her victims spellbound with her wild stories. In the cen’er of the gym, Madame Woozywitch had estab lished her tent. She told her guests many things which thrilled, scar ed and encouraged them. Mostly thrilled, however, because her talks to the girls always held a tall, dark man in their futures. At the lower end of the large room was Snozzle Wozzle Land. Here the guests strangled them selves trying to get an apple in their months. Instead they were ducked in the buckets by their companions standing behind them. In the opposite corner was Witches Broth where the hand some escort fished while his com panion ate the lollypops which dangled from the hook and line provided them. In another comer was the Witches Wonder World where the guests were requested to “hands off” the exhibition and most of them offered no opposi tion as the exhibits wrere anything but inviting. Pete Potts’ duck was there, as was the burp of a nation. About ten o’clock Mr. Bonner became the center of attraction. He very impressively described “The Cremation of Sam McGee.” The theme of this long poem was quite in keeping with the celebra tion, and he told it well. The girls then paraded their costumes about the room for the selection of the best costumes. The first place was very appro priately given to Mickey Mouse who turned out to be Katherine Gaines. Second and third prize went to Lucy Cox and Ruth Goswick, re spectively. About eleven o’clock Mr. Bras well broke the spell by announc ing that the hour had arrived for the masqueraders to see who the mysterious persons they had been admiring all evening really were. Soon afterward, the guests all re turned to their respective dormi tories, talking over the fun. The student body who so en joyed this entertainment owes a great deal to Mr. Ingram who gave permission for the carnival and finanred it. This social is an an nual affair and this one was cer tainly enjoyable. ity to obtain experience in choir singing. Later in the year, the choir is to form a processional and recession al to and from room twenty. Also, special numbers are to be given by the girls who compose the choir and by the entire group. A great deal of interest and ap preciation has been shown by the student body and faculty in the selection of this choir, and it is expected to prove quite an asset to the interest and dignity of the exercises.

Mr. Hamilton C. Arnold, promi nent citizen and insurance man of Newnan, Georgia made a very in teresting speech to the student body at the Chapel exercises held on Friday, October 18. Mr. Arnold related several interesting facts about insurance about which most people are unfamiliar. He spoke of the different types of insurance policies that are being written to day. Mr. Arnold stated that insur ance can be obtained againt every thing except wear and tear and de preciation. Several strange cases were cited, namely the insuring of fair grounds against rain, tomb stones aaginst fire and numerous other policies which seemed a bit far-fetched to the average person. Mr. Arnold pointed out the great opportunity t'hat there is in the ex panding field of insurance today, and the advantages of preparing to carry on work in this field. He proved this statement by telling of the several thousands of Georgia citizens who are depending on in surance for their livelihood. W.G.C.
