Two
Dormitory On Wheels Is
Found On East Campus
Unique in college housing facili
ties, is the dormitory-trailer affair
whose owners are Mr. and Mrs. R.
L. Putnam, and built by Mr. Put
nam himself.
The total cost of the affair, says
the owner, was about $115.00 in
cluding lights, and wiring. Thirty
dollars of that amount was for out
side labor, and the tires and chassis
were taken from a junk pile.
The outside of the trailer is made
of galvanized metal; the inside is
lined with celotex. The trailer is
six feet high with a two inch curve
in the ceiling, and weighs approxi
mately 1,825 pounds. There are
four windows, a door, and a ceil
ing ventilator.
Two cabinets were installed by
the owner over the wheels; one is
used for clothes, and the other is
called a catch-all which can at a
moment's notice be converted into
a desk. The other furnishings of
the room include a studio couch
and a dresser. Also one finds an
electric heater, a side light over
the bed, a table lamp, and an elec
tric iron.
The way to attend college, Mr.
and Mrs. Putnam, parents of two
girls, ages eleven and eight who
also want a play-house trailer- say
is to bring along one’s own house,
thereby guaranteeing perfect quiet
f^SS.

THE WEST GEORGIAN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1936
FRESHMEN VOCATIONS
SHOWN BV FACULTY
RESEARCH WORK HERE
MR. WATSON FINDS INTERESTS
VARY FROM AVIATION
TO FARMING
Although the proceedings of the
faculty meetings are usually
shrouded in great obscurity and
jealously guarded by that so-called
august body, one bit of the busi
ness of the meeting last Monday
has-transpired, i.e., a report of the
vocational aims of West Georgia
freshmen compiled by Mr. Gordon
Watson.
At the suggestion of President
Ingram, Mr. Watson has made
these figures available for publica
tion.
The purposes of the study, Mr.
Watson states, were to determine
the number of freshmen indicating
preferences for various vocations,
to determine the most popular vo
cations, to establish a basis for
vocational guidance, and to determ
ine the average intelligence quo
tient of each group. The figures
for the last item are not available
for publication.
The results of the research work,
carefully and systematically com
piled from cards filled out at the
opening of school, says the Eng
lish head, are in part indicated be
low:
Forty-four freshmen undecided;
fifty-two indicated a preference for
teaching; five for law; four for the
ministry; two for medicine; two
for pharmacy; one for dentistry;
eight for strictly business pursuits;
four for farming; three for library
work; four for journalism; two for
dramatics, and six for engineering.
Three listed chemistry as their
plans; one, apparently air-minded,
chooses aviation; thirty-two for
home economics, one for dietetics;
and one for forestry.
It was found that not a single
co-ed indicated a preference home
making. Mr. Watson says that these
men may make what use they will
of this last information.
Students Participate
In V . R . A . Sunday
Differing from the usual pro
grams this week’s Voluntary Re
ligious Association meeting, on
Sunday Oct. 11 at five o’clock, was
taken part in solely by students
interested in these religious exer
cises.
Nell Clegg opened the meeting,
at which many persons were pres
ent, by a reading of the Scripture.
This was followed by a prayer con
ducted by Rachel Hunt and the an
nouncement of the subject “How
Jesus Would Like Us To Develop
Physically, Mentally, Socially, and
Emotionally”,* by Miss Katie
Downs.
The physical viewpoint was
presented by Allyn Gunn; the men
tal by Dan Brewster; and the so
cial and emotional by Miss Win
ette White. Each told the ways in
which these traits aided towards
the first development of an indi
vidual.
Jack Huckaby, accompanist,
played Handel’s “Largo”, Nevin’s
“Buena Notte” and Mendelssohn’s
“March of the Priests” during the
course of the program.
Elizabeth Strange was in charge
of the program.
Have You Noticed?
By BETTY ANN SEWELL
The thirteen boy buoycotters on
the campus like the thirteen orig
inal colonies seem to think that
they have not only neatly cocked
their eyebrows, but have also pro
duced in their victims a feeling
that they have aimed and fired
them. That they are original, one
doesn’t deny; in fact we know of
no other college campus that has a
club of this sprt, but whether their
victims (meaning the girls) have
grown shakey or despondent about
it, is another matter. In fact from
all the information we can weed
out among the fairer sex, none of
them seems to g ! ve a “hoot.”
The writer is taking it for grant
ed that the reader knows all abvc.t
the bouyeot club. However, for
the benefit of those who do not —
there are thirteen charter mem
bers. Each member is supposed
to wear a red tie every Thursday
arid to march from one end of the
dining hall to the other and out the
door once a week. The crowning
point of the club and the point
that has been so discussed is the
member’s attitude toward the girls
of the campus. They have agreed
that if any member asks any girl
for a date and she refuses, then she
will be planked down on what they
call the black list. If any girl is so
unfortunate as to be placed on this
list then she, like the daughters
of the French artistocrats march
ing up for slaughter, is denied the
extreme pleasure of dating or danc
ing with any one of the members
for a whole month . . . some
punishment!
We hope that the boys are not
quite foolish enough to believe we
care; we hope that they pay their
precious little dues on time though
we have our doubts about it, and
last of all we hope some of the
elder and more learned members of
the club knock off their big toes
some night while attending call
meetings.

West Georgia College
Has National Fraternity
Although only three years old,
West Georgia College has a nation
al fraternity.
At a meeting of the board of
trustees at Atlantic City in Decem
ber, 1932, a national social science
honor society for junior colleges
was authorized. This new society
was incorporated in the District of
Columbia in 1933 by authorities at
the Catholic University.
The name of the society was Phi
Sigma Alpha which was suggested
by Dr. S. Howard Patterson is
formed from the initials of the
Greek words “Lovers of the
Knowledge of Man.”
The Phi Sigma Alpha has the
same general purposes that the
Pi Gamma Mu has in the senior
colleges and universities. It is,
however, a separate organization
and operates under a separate cor
porate charter. Also it is united
with the publication of “Social Sci
ence” and in the program sessions
of their biennial sessions.
The first chapter was organized
at Santa Ana Junior College, San
ta Ana, California. The president
of the Phi Sigma Alpha on the
West Georgia College campus is
Howard Handley; the vice-presi
dent is Owen Malcolm, and the
secretary-treasurer is PhilHp Jones.
Haverford College Janitors’
School, founded two years ago by
the students of H. College to give
free instruction to negro employees
has enrolled for the fall course
