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.

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. NO. 2
