Underway,” Says
Director Howell
Mr. Howell announced last week
that forty-five special N. Y. A.
students have arrived and have
become a part of the student body.
They all seem to feel very much

given the new students by the pre

Mr. D. B. Lasseter, State NYA
Director and Mr. Rushin, Assistant
Director from Atlanta, were here
Wednesday February 2 investigat
ing the new NYA set up at West
Georgia. They were highly com
plimentary of the present situa
tion. They think that this affords
many possibilities for the future.
Two other area supervisors, Mr.
Williams from Rome and Miss
Mangum from Marietta, were here
last Aveek to look over the progress
group.
The new group of young men
has been painting the barns and
cleaning up different parts of the
campus. They have been working
on the new tennis court which
will soon be completed.
The special NYA girls have been
assigned various jobs, as work for
different faculty members, in the
college Book Store, hostess duty
in the dormitory and dining hall
work.
Each student takes two courses
in education and one in Physical
education. The girls are taking
home economics and rural life
whereas the boys are taking oc
cupational guidance and rural life.
In most cases they have dropped
in regular classes.
Five more boys are expected to
arrive this week to begin their
work and college career.
Vesper Services To Be
Conducted By Clubs
During the remainder of the
year the V. R- A. expects every
club on the campus to have charge

West Georgia Goes Carnegie
Alpha Psi Finds Out What It
Takes And How To Get “It”
The question no longer is “to be'
or not to be.” It’s not an answer
to the political or economical situa
tion. People no longer wonder
about who will piay Rhett and
Scarlett. Inquiries have stopped
as to the out come of the Sino-
Japanese war. The supreme court
question is out. The liquor bill
is not worrying anybody. Now —
we have it. The question of the
hour now seems to be: what do
boys like and dislike in girls?
What do girls like and dislike in
