Professor Preston
To Address
Zeta Sigma Pi
Zeta Sigma Pi will hold the sec
ond meeting of the little forum,
Thursday, November 11, in the
School Auditorium at 7 o’clock.
Miss Marion Preston, one of the
English professors, who has spent
many years in Korea will speak on
u phase of the Orient.
Following this discussion the
members will hold a business meet
ing and it will be at this time the
ihree new members will be initiat
ed into the Club. They are: Arlene
Phillips, Eloise Spence and Pau
line Berry.
Miss Martha Gladd, president of
Zeta Sigma Pi, in a recent inter
view stated that another of the
club’s plans for the year is now
being made for a Club Night. At
this time it is their wish for all the
Campus Clubs to take part. Each
may have a program, or play or
an exhibit. This will do much to
ward aiding in better Club coopera
tion.
Another interesting point
brought out that Zeta Sigma Pi
had planned to have President
Roosevelt to come to West Georgia
during his stay in Georgia at
Thanksgiving. The plans, how
ever, will not be used since the
President will only be in Georgia
for a few days and therefore is
not accepting any invitations.
President Roosevelt stated, how
ever, that he would be delighted
to come at another time.

scholarships go to those students
who have proved themselves ex
ceedingly proficient in the field of
Home Economics, and enable them
to pursue their studies further

To Start Early
In December ,
Contract To Be Let
In December
For New Building
Mr. I. S. Ingram, president of
West Georgia College has announ
ced that this institution will de
finitely have anew building. This
project has been proposed for
several months, but only recently
were its backers assured the nec
essary allotment.
The preliminary plans have al
ready been considered by the State
architect, Mr. Stephens, who was
on the campus, Wednesday, Octo
ber 27. Mr. Stephens had a con
ference with faculty members dis
cussing the plans. Mr. Ingram
stated that the contract will be
awarded prior to December 13th.
This new building has been nam
ed Rural Arts Life Building. It
will be a two story, brick, fire
proof structure, fifty feet wide and
ninety feet long. The allotment
set aside by the University Build
ing Funds Committee and the fed
eral funds allow this building to
be constructed at a cost of approxi
mately $30,000.
This Rural Arts Life Building
will be located behind the Aca
demic Building and Girls Dormi

and tennis courts, in view of the
drive.
The second floor will consist of
a complete regular home unit.
This unit will afford modern prac
tice to the home economics classes.
The first floor will contain a small
auditorium. This auditorium will
be used for Rural Arts Life classes
and small socials. The first floor
will also house laboratories, a shop,
offices and various other class
rooms.
Exams Over ■.
Students Mop Brows In
Thankfulness As Test Ends
Whew! Brows are mopped off,
shoulders straighten up, eyes begin
to look bright, sighs are not so
numerous, and, it seems, the teach
ers don’t get quite so much atten
tion as they did last week. Cer
tainly everyone on this campus
knows why—OUß FIRST MID
TERMS ARE OVER!
This has been a hectic week
for Sophomores, Freshmen, teach
ers, and the back home correspon
dents, who had to listen to our
tales of woe. It has been a week
which no Freshman will ever
erase from his or her mind; for
they have now become a little
more than an insignificant rat.
They have passed (we hope) their
first mid-term tests, so they are
now full fledged West Georgians.
The Sophoromes probably will
remember the week, too. What
with trying to remember every
thing the Prof, has said for the
past six weeks, and trying to tell
each Freshman just what was
asked on first year subjects last
year.
The teachers are probably the
least affected group on the cam
pus—not that it doesn’t worry
them —it does; but then they’re
used to ’em, and they don’t have
to stand ’em.
Mid-terms come, and mid-terms
go, but the first ones of the year
are probably remembered more
than all the rest.
