The first half of his speech was concerned with his personal educa tional experiences, lie told of his 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 tional set-up, and at the same time 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.

Sanford of the University System. The date for this talk could not be secured. President Ingram also said that Colston Leigh Lyceum Company representative would be on the campus at an early date. 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.

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”. THE WEST GEORGIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1936 : campus : 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 ALPHA PSI PLEDGES 28 NEW MEMBERS Twenty - eight Freshmen and Sophomore women were initiated into the Alpha Psi, honorary home economics sorority last Tuesday night, at which included a talk by the faculty advisor, Miss Ruby Jenkins. The program for the night was made up of addresses of welcome by the president, Dorothy Doster, a short talk by Lillian King, and an official word of advice by the facul ty adviser who spoke on the du ties and responsibilities of the twenty-eight neophytes. Esther Rose Zill, Evelyn Bal lard, and Edith Woodward com posed the initiation committee. Listed is the roster of the new students; Mary Katherine Fitts, Nell Lane, Mildred Sims, Tommie Webb, Dor is Owings, Louneal Williams, Mary Clyde Langford, Maxine Yarbrough, Virginia Brown, Laura Smith, and Hildred Bell. Nina Martin, Marjorie Broach, Novelle Hamm, Marion Lanier, Rachel Hunt, Eloise Spence, and Dorothy Bandy. Doris Webb, Elizabeth Kinna mon, Vivian Smith, Avis Jackson, Eva Cauthon, Emmie Baker, Mary Carolyn Doss, Mildred Bell, Louise Merrill, and Frances Spradlin. Jack-Stephens to B. Justice: I’d gladly give you a wedding ring for a honeymoon tomorrow. # * * 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! ALUMNI COLUMN Tom Smith, editor of the 1935- 36 Chieftain, is employed in a wholesale warehouse at Dalton, Georgia.

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 .

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 ver said. 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.

This is a set of Nwenty-five volumes and the college library lacks only three of these.
