Shuttleworth Speaks
Mind On Interviews
And Shaw At CoJfige
In an attempt to get some news
from West Georgia's new registrar
about anythin*, and evrything f e -
me a “bull-session last night, tins
repr/ter, wondering if this is a
news article or not, did learn that
Shuttleworth knows plenty about
interviews.
“There are several types of print
able interviews: swell, fair, veiy
bad, and very poor,” informed the
ex-New Yorker, “and only at times
are an interview ,the interview t ,
and the interviewed pleased.”
Philosophically speaking, Shuttle
worth truthfully said that there
is the type of interview which most
readers need but seldom get, and
the typpes they seldom get and
don’t particularly need.
The registrar said that the rea
son the interesting George Bernard
Shaw (of all people, murmured
this reporter) is such good news
paper copy, is due to the lact that
he is extremely witty and that lie
dares tell what’s on his mind.
“Personally”, said Shuttleworth,

inun with rheumatic pains in his

To redeem this, Shuttleworth
said that Shaw’s interview's are
second to some w r ell known and
equally disliked dictators.
Still insisting he came for news,
the reporter questioned Shuttle
worth about his office affairs. As
an answer, he gave some good ad
vice on improvements of paper
and what properly treated publicity
can do.
And so no news but an interest
ing feature article from Shuttle

PLANS SUBMITTED FOR
JOURNALISM CLASSES
BY EDITORS-IN-CHIEF
I I.AX CALLS FOR THREE OSE
HOt’R CLASSES EACH
WEEK
A plan for classes in the essen
tia’.: of journalism lias been sub
mitted to President Ingram and
Dean Gunn, according to Robert
Knox newly-elected director of the
Student Board of Publication.
This plan, approved of and ac
cepted by the Student Board, calls
for three one-hour classes per week
under the supervision of two pro
fessors.
A lecture, to constitute the first
class each week, will be given by
one professor. The other two class
es, according to the plan originated
by Knox, will be devoted to actual
news writing and newspaper make
up.
Under this plan, the class would
get much valuable training, the
Student Board insisted. Although
it would not give the same identic
al instruction received in larger
schools of journalism, it would
meet the requirements as a course
in social science, and would aid
immensely in the publication of
the West Georgian.
Knox stated that since two-thirds
of the course would deal with act
ual laboratory work in journalism,
the policy of appointing journalism
students as West Georgian staff
members would be followed.
There are several attractive fea
tures in this plan, stated Knox and
the Student Board, and it is hoped
that by the beginning of the winter
quarter the courses will be estab
lish ed.
As to the credits for the courses,
on "'0 r ' 1 ivaf available, but the
Board believes that under the plan,
only half course would be credited
as the physical education courses.

Helen Of College
Women’s Council
In this issue, continuing the pol
icy of recognizing student leader
ship, the West Georgian introduces
Helen Haines, the sophomore presi
dent of the Women’s Council which
is sometimes considered the high
est office to be held by a girl on
the campus.
In addition to this, Helen is a
member of the Phi Sigma Alpha,
Mu Zeta Alpha, and Soccer team.
Extremely quiet throughout the
entire interview, she stated that
she was born, reared, and educated
in Madison, Georgia, graduating
from the Madison A. and M. School.
Although her features resemble
that of a Latin in many respects,
Helen said that she thought her
people came over from England
about two centuries ago, and set
tled in the south.
She goes in for constant read
ing of novels, liking best the light
fiction by Kathleen Norris and her
type. She' said that the best book
she has read in a long time is the
ever-famous “Romona”.
The president of the Women’s
Council is on the N. Y. A. working
as assistant nurse and doing typ
ing work for Miss Ward. She says
that with this type of work she
keeps a full schedule ahead all the
uilTit!.
Her mam topic of conversation,
fortunate!} for the very young of
the land, is child welfare and de
velopment. After her graduation
next June, she stated that she
plans to teach in the upper ele
mentary grades, attend a senior in
stitution later, and in the end get
her degree in education.
Strange as it may seem, her pet
hobbies consist particularly of
studying and 'attending classes!
Helen admitted that she hasn’t at
tended a class yet which bored her.
And at the same time, she said she
hasn’t had either of the physical
science courses.
Luckily, Helen gets along swell
with all types of people. Perhaps
this is due mainly to the fact that
she likes to be with herself most
of the time.
However, her estimation of boys
goes thus: “Asa rule, I don’t espe
cially care for boys; they're cute,
and all like that, but none of them
are very interesting. Just the
same, nothing gives me greater joy
than to see boys and girls have a
good time, or, to put it as you
hinted, make whoopee.”
Very characteristic of herself,
the child-idolizer said that she likes
people when they are quiet, re-

Her movie opinions were very
limited, liking only very highly ad
vertised and praised pictures such
as the current “Little Lord Faun

sweet little child”, she said.
She has no specific political opin
ion, eveh though she believes that
Roosevelt was virtually sent from
the heavens.
