GEORGIAN KIHTOK
After three years of publication,
the WeHt Georgian has received
real prestige in the eyes of jour
nalistic authorities.
The office of the newspaper was
notified with a letter from Director
John E. Drewry of the Henry W.
Grady School of Journalism at the
University of Georgia that this
newspaper had been “placed upon
the official mailing list, and we ex
pect you to affiliate in all activi
ties of the group.”
The director’s letter further read:
"The first G. C. P. A. bulletin of
the school year will be released
around the second of October, and
I shall see that you receive a copy.
Details about the two meetings,
the contests, and other notices will
be found In the bulletin.”
There are two meetings during
the year, one at,the University and
the other at the Armstrong Jun
ioi College, located at Savannah,
Georgia. The editor expressed
hopes that he and assistants will be
able to attend both of these meet
ings.
The Association is organized and
conducted to recognize merit and
advancement in journalism on col
lege campuses throughout the
state.
Each year it conducts meetings
both in Athens and elsewhere. At
these meetings newspaper men on
metropolitan newspaper staffs de
liver speeches to the representa
tives on the various college organs.
Also the organization sponsors con
tests, holds elections for Associa
tion officers, publishes monthly
bulletins and notices, and offers
various other attractive activities
which appeal to young newspaper
men.
Practically all of the senior col
]t tv. * *he state are members of
the Association, and steadily are
the junior colleges joining the
ranks.
The Association is affiliated with
the Henry W. Grady School of
Journalism at the University of
Georgia which is considered to be
one of the highest ranking jour
nalism schools in the south.
Last spring Knox, then editor
elect, began investigating the en
trance requirements and the stan
dards necessary to meet, and mail
ed to the Association headquarters
a request for entrance. Not until
the first of September was word
definitely received that the West
Georgian had been accepted.

French Club Outline
Plans For Second Year
West Georgia College’s French
Club will mark its second annivers
ary in the near future. The or
ganization which has gained ex
ceedingly in membership since its
establishment in November 1934
expects to have still a larger num
ber.
Its limitation of five pledges per
quarter promotes widespread en
thusiasm among the students inter
ested in the French Langauge and
the esthetic side of French life
and customs.
This year plans are being sipde
for many programs dealing direct
ly with ’French problems and life
on account of the fact that a num

been carrying on some extensive
correspondence with the youth tf

anytime the editor sees fit. The
staff—a very determined one—asks
the cooperation of the entire stu

1936-37 Chieftain the very best,
and with this cooperation* the staff
is looking forward to publishing a
book to be forever cherished by
all as the best and by far the
dearest.
Have You Noticed ....
By BETTY ANN SEWELL
Last year the West Georgian
waxed sleek and fat under the
capable guidance of its editor. This
year, as is customary, it is being
steered by anew editor; an editor
who has for several days been
walking around in a perfect daze,
his lips moving silently to him
self. It has just occurred to me
that he must_be dreaming blissful
ly about his paper—probably recit
ing over to himself his numerous
little feature writers and reporters
and the articles They are supposed
to write, wondering IF they will
get them in on time, and IF they
will be all right, an editor who
eats, sleeps, and dreams his paper.
It is quite impossible for
the staff to navigate all the way
down the hall of the Academic
Building without being grabbed by
the all zealous commander-in-chief
with: “Have you finished your ar
ticle yet” or TNow, what was your
article supposed to be about.” The
unfortunate captive having given
the necessary information turns to
go, but he is grabbed again with:
“Nov, 1 think We ought to change
that some. You know we want it
to be just exactly right”—and so
on and on until little puddles of
sweat are running down the faces
of both the captive and the captor.
Seriously now, one has not been
found who KNOWS, but many
think that he has set up at night
till the "yawning hours brooding
over his present problem, and that
he has lost quite a bit of hair over
it. We of the staff hold that every
thing will be in “status quo et
quils soit”, but we fully believe
that if everything does not meas
ure up to his ideals, poor Shake
speare, like Margaret Mitchell, will
have to be carted off to a House
of Sheltering Arms for a lengthy
recuperation.
