Dr. R. T. Alexander, president of
New College nt Columbia Uni

at the regular chapel hour Fri

The first half of his speech was
concerned with his personal educa

early college days and travels and
study abroad.
Dr. Alexander, who taught sev
eral years in Turkey and coached
an Asiatic basektball team, told
how he had applied his experi
ences in learning witli the college
of which he is now president.
On several occasions, Dr. Alex
ander ridiculed the present educa

game his protesting opinions of
scholarship aid, N. Y. A. aid, and
fellowships.
Recognized as a leader in con
comitant learning, Dr. Alexander
was for several years teacher at
Columbia, and his college is uni
que in the field of educational
training.
He says that a student in order
to success in this course of train
ing must have health, character,
and the willingness to accept re
sponsibility and scholarship.
Last Tuesday President Ingram
impressed upon the students the
importance of Dr. Alexander’s talk
and principles, and urged the stu
dent body to secure such an edu
cational training at this coHecre.
Mr. Ingram said that participa
tion in newspaper work, in clubs,
in debates, and other extra-curri
cula activities was an assuring
source of character development.
College Relationship
Program Given Oct . 18
A program to advance better and
more friendly relations between
fellow students was given by the
Voluntary Religious Association in
their regular Sunday Vesper on
Oct. 18.
The reading of the scripture by
Katherine Gaines opened the pro
gram. Howard Handley, who was
in charge of the meeting, intro
duced the student speakers after
explaining the object of the pro
gram.
Possibilities and ideas for the
development of better friendliness
were discussed by these speakers,
including Virginia Rainey, Martha
Gladd, and Andy Floyd.
It was emphatically brought out
that tlie students secure most
from our college life, must live
together with the most cooperation
possible. This can only be reached
by the close connection of mutual
friendship. Also one must create in
ourselves an interest in our
neighbors’ problems and always be
ready to help carry him over a
tough spot, stated the first speaker,
friendly world,” said Flyod.
“An honest, friendly smile from
everyone will establish our campus
as a stepping stone toward a more
friendl yworld,” said Flyod.
Scientists say that deafness is
increasing. Well, there’s less to
her. And more to see.

Richardson Writes
To Student Body
Members of the Chieftian Busi
ness Staff are very grateful to the
student body for the spirit shown
in the deposits for annuals. The
hundred dollar “dead-line” was
passed at an early date, thus au
thorizing the staff to proceed with
the signing of contracts, securing
ads, and the many other things
necessary in the production of an
annual.
We feel that with the prevailing
interest of the. students, we can
seriously contemplate on giving
West Georgia it’s best annual.
Help make us proud to give you
an annual of which you will be
proud.

Bus. Mgr. Chieftain. -

FRENCH STUDENTS
STROZIER RESPONDS TO WEST
GEORGIAN EDITORIAL FOR
RETURN OF LYCEUM
Professor R. M. Strozier, chair
man of the public exercises com
mittee, announced Monday at noon
that this year’s Lyceum program
would begin Friday night, Novem
ber G.
The program, lasting the usual
hour, will feature M. Louis Dero
che, Mr. Harold Brandon, and M.
Jacques Puyatier.
M. Deroche is from Paris,
France, and has been at the Uni
versity of Georgia the past year as
an exchange student. According
to Strozier, he liked this country so
well, that he has decided to remain
in Georgia for another year.
Mr. Reroche’s lecture will be
concerned with his impressions of
this country after a year’s resi
dence.
Mr. Brandon, an American, re
turned to this country this fall
from France where he was an ex
change student .studying in vari
ous French universities, particular
ly, according to Strozier, those at
Paris and Toulouse.
M. Puyatier, also a Frenchman,
has just arrived from France this
year. Like M. Deroche and Mr.
Brandon, he also is an exchange
student.
It will be remembered that last
week’s West Georgian contined an
editorial .advocating the return of
the Lyceum programs.
It was learned yesterday that in
reality, the Friday night program
would be the second of the series,
since the college was partially re
sponsible for the formance at the
City Hall last Friday night, featur
ing the Avon Players in William
Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of
Venice”.

PEPSCNALITBIES
J. J. RIVERS, The President Of The
College Student Body
Since it is a wise and past policy
of this newspaper to recognize vari
ous types of student leadership and
accomplishment through a feature
article, we have chosen this issue
John Joe (J. J., to you) Rivers,
president of the student body.
Last night between two bull ses
sions taking place in a smoke
filled room, Rivers said that he
was born, raised, received his ele
mentary education, and lived most
of his eighteen years in Fayette
County.
Boasting English ancestry on
both sides with fair skin, blond
hair, and small statue, Rivers as
sured us that he likes almost the
opposite in women, prefering
natural, small and short, tan-skin
ned, brunettes positively NO
blonds!
Asa NYAer of the library staff,
a type of work which he likes
very much, Rivers says that he
enjoys reading better than any
thing he does. His tastes in read
ing vary from a Fannie Hurst
complex, mingled with a dash of
mystery-fiction, to such magazines
as “Judge”.
Politics, and women, and still
more women constitute Rivers’
main topic of conversation; he says
that the biggest mistake that he is
guilty of is the fact that he falls
like all suckers for any and all
women’s lines.
Next year he plans to enter the
T diversity Law School, study law,
and become a crook in due time,
tie added ;i a ail his plans are

Who was that Hettie cried over
for two hours, because he did not
ask her a date for the dance?
merely hopes for the time being.
He collects political news-articles,
and reads with interest the lives of
all types of statesmen and poli
ticians, assuring us that with law
training he intends to have a po
litical career. Another Rivers go
ing wrong, so we say.
The president of the student
body loathes grand opera and
Grace Moore, says that his favor
ite movie actors are Rochelle Hud
son, Robert Taylor, and W. C.
Fields.
“Jazz is not boring in the least,
and there’s nothing like a good
Saturday afternoon horse opera”,
said Rivers.
He finds that his most trouble in
living is getting along with people.
“That won’t do for a politician”,
he warned, “but I think I can
handle women when it comes to
votes.” f
Although Rivers doesn’t dance
and to a great degree participate in
sports, he says that he enjoys
thoroughly a baseball and football
game, and that he likes to watch
others dance.
Strozier is his favorite faculty
member . . . the West Georgian is
like an entirely new publication.
Rivers, it seems, is possessed
with some political mania, since
he can’t understand why so many
people ask is he related to Gov.-
elect Rivers; and it is generally
understood by the newspaper staff
that his girl back home is named
Red wine. And he favors the New
Deal!

Library Adds Reference
Books And Other Record
Miss Weaver announces that th(a
library has secured the 1936 publi
cation of the Encyclopedia Amer
icana .
During the three years of the
college’s existence, the 1920 edi
tion of this set of encyclopedia has
been used. These books, accord
ing to library announcements,
were secured from the 4th dis
trict A. and M. School.
The new set deals with the very
latest in reference data, Miss Wea

Among the other encyclopedia
found on the reference shelf the
librarian added that there is a late
edition of the Encyclopedia Bri
tannica also in the reference de
partment.
For statistical study in social
science classes Miss Weaver rec
ommends the Statesman’s Year
book.
Another edition of the library is
the “Colonial Records of Georgia”.
This is a set of Nwenty-five volumes
and the college library lacks only
three of these.
To quote the librarian, “The
students should be proud of this
set, because it isn’t as available
in modern libraries as it once was.”

We have old Brunswick Stew

And if nothing else will do,
We have good old barbecue,
