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.

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. Gasoline that has been used for cleansing purposes and is no long er clean will kill weeds growing in dirt walks if poured over them.

The or ganization which has gained ex ceedingly in membership since its establishment in November 1934 expects to have still a larger num ber.

This staff is no means perma nent* and is subject to change at anytime the editor sees fit. The staff—a very determined one—asks the cooperation of the entire stu dent body In order to make the 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.
