Life In Tke Log Cabin
Should Prove Exciting
By VIRGINIA RAINEY
Li fe in the Log Cabin, which has
been remodeled to meet the grow
ing demands for housing dormitory
students, should prove quite exciL
ing. Miss Jenkins has twelve girls:
Margie Thompson, Alpharetta; Ja
mie Fitzpatrick, LaFayette; Lillian
King. Meansville; Frances McWil
liams, Trion; Mary Elizabeth Mea
dows’ Cedartown; Mary Carolyh
Doss, Grayson; Eloise Spence, Ho
gansville; Nell Lane, Jackson;
Mary Kathryn Fitts, Nelson; Grace
Little, Bremen; Eva Cauthen, Tal
lapoosa; and Floy Grant, Shiloh. Al
though Miss Jenkins still reigns
supreme in the attic, she is said to
find her wards clinking about the
rafters during the small hours of
the night.
The part of the cabin previous
ly used for class rooms has been
made into four bedrooms. This
section of the building is heated
with a large heatrola. Along with
other equipment, they have a Hot
Point water heater, which provides
boiling water at all times, a Frigid
aire, and prospects of new furni
ture for the living room.
After interviewing all of the
girls, we find that the principle
drawbacks are the sounds made in
the night by large acorns dropping
on the foof, the inconvenience in
curred by not being able to hear
the bells, and the fear and trem
bling which necessarily results
from watching Frances McWil
liams visit all the rooms by simply
clinking the partitions and drop
ping over into the rooms.
But taken by all at large, all
the girls like it, for it provides
all the elements of dorimtory life,
along with the peaceful, woody
atmosphere.
University of Pennsylvania has
begun its 197th year; 4,796 students

including the .796 NYA’s.

Wake Up Youth!
By NORMAN TANT
“A certain man went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho and fell
among thieves who beat him and
robbed him of his garment and left
him bleeding and well nigh dead.
“A certain priest went that way
and perceived him in that condi
tion and lifted his garment and
passed by on the other side.
“A pharisee also went that way
and saw his condition and he lifted
his garment and passed by on the
other side.”
That is as far as we will go with
that story. Here is another.
A certain European country
was experimenting in forms of
government and fell among two
fascist countries who furnished
amunition to beat her and kill her
people and burn her churches and
loot the land.
And certain countries who are
neighbors to the bleeding country
lifted the hem of their garments
and passed by on the other side.
Any well read person under
stands the situation outlined above.
They will further realize the peril
to the youth of today. Shall we
allow the antics of two mad dic
tators eventually to turn you and
me into mangled pieces of flesh?
Only expert garment lifting on the
part of our government can avert
this.
On the other side, can we always
keep the hem of our garment clean
by doging world problems and situ
ations? We all realize that it is
folly to speak of an isolationist
policy. Just where do we as col
lege students, fit into this mad
whirl that we call world citizen
ship? I hope that we won’t fit in
to a Flanders Field! What is there
to do about it all? From recent
headlines we would picture the
“dove of peace” to be like the few
turtle doves that survive the hunt
ting season; gunshy, most of the
tail feathers gone and forever on
the wing to distant refuges‘to gaze
down with disillusionment on hu
manity.
But are we—as young people
going to sink into apathy saying
“It’s no use!”
Wake up, youth of America!
There is some use. Join the peace
movement and save a billion lives!
This does not mean that we won’t
defend our shores from invasion;
but it means that we won’t toler
ate belligerent governmental poli
cies and chip-on-the shoulder
tactics.

COLLEGE TEXTBOOK; WILL
AID IN JOURNALISM
At a staff meeting of the West
Georgian Thursday night, October
9, Robert Knox, editor of the news
paper, distributed among the staff
composing the reporting and fea
ture boards a syllabus containing
material in newspaper writing and
reporting.
This syllabus, prepared during
the summer and finished after the
reopening of school, is based on
the book by Curtis D. MacDougall
“A College Course for Beginners”
which is used by the students of
the Henry W. Grady School of
Journalism at the University in
Athens.
MacDougall is the former head
of journalism courses at the Le
high University and is now con
nected with the University of Wis
consin.
Mimeographed and bound, the
syllabus represents the structure of
a news story, playing up the fea
ture, newspaper style and Eng
lish, and reporting and writing
special kinds of news.
Max Beck of the exchange de
partment assisted in the prepara
tion of the syllabus.
