A. C. P. Membership
Renewal Made By
West Georgain
The West Georgian once again
has become affiliated with the
Associated Collegiate Press and
Georgia Collegiate Press Associa
tion, it was announced Monday.
Although the editors were un
able to attend the A. C. P. meeting
in Chicago recently, they feel, ne
vertheless, that membership in the
Association will be well worth
the money. Then, too, there are
several national services that A.
C. P. might help the paper attain.
Outstanding among these services
is the securing of the Collegiate
Digest for circulation. This is being
negotiated at the present time.
The Georgia Collegiate Press As
sociation will hold its initial meet
ing later this fall at which time
editors and business managers all
over the state will gather to dis
cuss their various problems. The
second meeting, next spring, will
be on this campus, it is hoped.
All plans for enlargement and
improvement are for the purpose
of retaining the title which was
won last year by the West Geor
gian for the “best Junior College
newspaper in the state.”
Special Debate
Tryouts To Be Held
"To secure more talent for our
Club we shall hold special try-out
meeting at an early date in room
5,” said Dan Brewster, president
of the Debating Club.
“We hope that Freshmen in par
ticular, who are interested in this
activity, will try for admission to
the club,” he continued. Follow
ing are three options, one of which
a student may select to deliver
before the Club from the affirma
tive or negative viewpoint:
Option one: Resolved, that Geor
gia legislature should enact a gen
eral sales tax not to exceed 5%.
Option two: Resolved, that the
United States should enforce a
complete embargo against all ship
ments to China or Japan.
Option three: Resolved, that all
Americans who travel on high
seas, travel at their own risk.
Members of the Club will judge
the debates at the following bi
monthly meeting.

The Stranger
New Bus Brings
Back Memories
There is now a little stranger on
our campus; but not for long will
it remain a stranger, for the school
is now tiie proud parent of a
shiny new cardinal red and royal
blue bus—a bus all our own, one
tiiat we all are the owners of—to
love, honor, and cherish ’til gra
duation do us part.
Remember the old yellow bus?
Remember the scrimmage you had
last year to even get on? Maybe
this poem will refresh your me
mory.
It’s a shove and a push,
A punch in the eye,
And a good, hard struggle
Before you get by.
They’ll step hard on your feet;
They’ll trample you down:
They’ll take away your smile,
They’ll bring you a frown.
You’ll get a good, hard kick;
You’ll get more than one bam;
And before you are through,
You won’t give ad arn.
Recognize this scene? Well, it’s
a reproduction of a typical scene
of last year. It was enacted every
time the old bus was boarded. Con
stant complaints were made about
the bus situation last year; but
now, we are blessed with this
nappy event, and we will have
happier days.
Election ...
(Continued from Page 1)
Cards, candy placards, speeches,
handclasps, fights, word battles,
parades, and hurried voting will
soon take place when West Geor
gia takes her annual fall plunge
into the heat of a full-fledged
political race.
The date for Freshmen election
has been tentatively set for the
week following mid-term exami
nations. This means the great
event will take place about the
first week of November. The of
fices open for election are: Presi
dent, Vice-President, Secretary and
Treasurer. Come on, all you poli
tically inclined students and do
your stuff.

Downs And Brogdon
Have Auto Accident
A collision, fortunately not seri
ous, occurred late last Wednesday
afternoon, October 7, at an inter
section on Collier Road in Atlanta.
A coupe, driven by Miss Nettie
Brogdon and Miss Katie Downs,
who were leaving Atlanta bound
for Carrollton, collided with an
automobile coming through the ad
joining crossing.
The effects of the accident being
miraculously slight, the occupants
of the cars suffered only shock and
minor bruises.
Miss Downs and Miss Brogdon,
at the time of the mishap were re
turning from the ninth district
G. E. A. Convention at Gainesville
where they had led in discussions
of educational problems.
Due to the accident, however,
Miss Downs was unable to attend
the organization meeting of the
first chapter of the West Georgia
College Alumni Association in
Rome on the following Friday,
October 15; Mr. R. M. Strozier pre
sided in her place.

DICK GRACE, President of The Student Body
Dick Grace, Decatur’s curly-'
haired gift to the West Georgia
women, came to this campus in
the fall of 1936 and soon began a
preciptious rise to fame and for
tune with the acquistion of the
Freshman presidency and a sopho
more girl friend (along with sev
eral Freshmen who weren’t sup
posed to know any better).
Since that time our hero has
lived up to this reputation as the
B. M. O. C. and, although his
glory as a modern Don Juan has
been dimmed somewhat by his al
leged consistency to the afore-men
tioned graduate, he has gone on
adding new laruels to his fame and
new scalps to his collection of
portraits. Time and space will
not permit a review of his many
offices (and certainly not a list of
his girls). But among the most
important is his post as student
body president, Business Manager
of the Annual, President of the W.
Club, and Vice-President of Zeta
Sigma Pi.
“Dickie” is quite a cosmopoliti
anlad, too. He was born in Douglas,
Arizona, on December 18, 1916.
Uncle Sam was growling at Ger
many about that time and Dick
growls about something ever now
and then. His most consistent
growl right won’t is about those
people who wont pay their down
deposit on the annual.
He lived in Arizona until about
the age of ten, just long enough
for the sun to give him that ducky
brown complexion. From there
he moved to Miami, Fla., for two
years, and finally came to rest in
dear ole Decatur. He attended
Decatur Junior High school and
Decatur High school and graduat
ed!
Quite a remarkable man, our
hero says that he loves poetry: an
Since both teachers have almost
effected a complete recovery, they
attended the seventh district G.
E. A. Convention at Grffin on Mon
day, October 18.
The accident is being investi
gated, but it is unlikely that eith
er party was to blame, according
to the report given by Miss Katie
Downs.
example: Twinkle, Twinkle, little
star.” Then too, in spite of his
romantic atmosphere lie contend,
that he can only love one woman
at a time (I can’t figure out who
he is afraid will get this paper).
His pet hate is a common is a
ole braggart with grits running a
close second. He has aspirations
be either a crooner, or a sports
writer, or he might consder join
ing the C. C. C. (All old ladies with
fortunes, please correspond.)
He is a fanatic—on swing music
and athletics. And, by the way,
in case you didn’t know, he’s on
the tennis, basketball, and croquet
teams.
Thinks he spends too much
money for his own good (don’t
we all) even if he does make a lot
of profitable trips to Atlanta. He
prefers brownettes to blondes and
brunettes. Along the food line he
likes oysters and hamburgers with
steak gravy.
Random comments: Thinks West
Georgia College is the finest Junior
college in the state but he prefers
senior colleges—likes bow-ties—
The Big Apple is here to stay
sings in the bath tub—gets all his
Mail orders at Sears (it used to be
Riches) —likes loud socks —enjoys
giving imitations —builds air cas
tles constantly—hopes to make
every club on the campus and is
sorry that is is trying to—hates
women chewing-gum poppers —
when he is in the money he buys
cigars—thinks school’s not as live
ly as it was.
His favorite teacher at present
is Strozier, but he says he also
likes Bonner, Ingram, Hart, and
Roberts (plain boot-licking we
calls it). He doesnt like Social
Security because it cost him 97
cents this summer.
A Sears Roebuck clerkess still
draws his attention but, cheer up,
girls she’s a long way off.
