Mu Zeta Alpha Concludes
It’s Most Eventful Year
Outstanding Leaders, Ellis Health Law
Drive Found Important As Activities Of
Scientific Society Are Reviewed
Opening the 1937-38 term, Mu Zeta Alpha members
placed special emphasis on the fact that they anticipated
the “greatest year in the history of the school.” And now
since it’s final meeting has been held and it’s accomplish
ments placed on review, it may be said that this history
scientific society made it’s anticipation become a reality.
Mu Zeta Alpha did have the greatest year in its history!
With four outstanding officers
and four faculty advisors; Horton
Greene, president; Alan Richstone,
vice-president; Pauline Berry, trea
surer; Geraldine Mcßrayer, secre
tary; and Mr. T. A. Hart, Mr. M. E.
Howell, Dr. Gains B. Lang, and
Mr. C. P. Tebeau, Mu Zeta Alpha
was guided in a manner worthy
of the Mu Zeta tradition.
The Ellis Health Law was the
highlight of the activities of the
year, although it was rejected by
the local grand jury. Early in the
winter quarter, the club adopted
a resolution approving the law and
urging its adoption in Carroll
County.
A program was devoted to the
discussion of the law. This was
led by Alan Richstone and Aubrey
Hawkins. The law was outlined
and explained to club members. A
letter was prepared and sent to
Commissioner Hamp Chappell,
whose approval was necessary be
fore the law could go into effect.
Inaugurating its crusade for the
adoption of the Ellis Health Law,
Mu Zeta Alpha arranged for lec
tures to be given at numerous
schools over the county. Prevel
ant evils of malaria and the bene
fits derived from such a law, were
emphasized Wherever a program
was presented.
The project for enforcement of
the law was under the direction
of Alan Richstone, vice-president
f the club. Aubrey Hawkins, who
served as vice-president pro-tem
for the spring quarter in the ab
sence of Richstone, also took an
active part in promoting this cam
paign. Other students lending
their cooperation by giving talks
were: Kermit Harris, Geraldine Mc-
Brayer, Everett McWhorter and
Martha Gladd.
News bulletins under the title
of the MU ZETAN were issued
monthly with vice-president Rich
stone serving in the capacity of
editor; having a supporting staff
consisting of Aubrey Hawkins,
Sara Gladney, Geraldine Mcßrayer,
and Ralph Modble. This was the
first time in the history of the
club that Mu Zeta Alpha invaded
the publications field.
Lecturing, as a mode of convey -
ence of knowledge, was utilized
extensively on the various pro
grams of the term. Besides the
student speakers, Mu Zeta Alpha
heard addresses delivered by Dr.
Gains B. Lang, professor and head
of the science and mathematics
department of this college; Dr. O.
W. Roberts, practicing physician
in Carrollton; and Dr. Thomas A.
Hart, professor of biology at West
Georgia.

In the early part of the Winter
Quarter, the club participated in
Zeta Sigma Pi’s “Club Nite.” Mu
Zeta Alpha took “Chemistry” as
its subject for the program.
Everett McWhorter gave a talk on'
the things that Mu Zeta Alpha
stands for on this campus. Fol
lowing this, Jeanelle Leathers ren
dered an address on chemistry,
and Kermit Harris and Wilburn
Boggs concluded the program by
performing a few “magic tricks.”
Later in the quarter, Mu Zeta
Alpha entered the debating tour

Athletics Are Most Popular
Activities Among IVest Georgia
Students According To Records
Athletics are overwhelmingly the most popular extra
cirricular activities of the West Georgia student body.
Teaching is the outstanding choice of professions. The
largest religious affiliation is Baptist and the University
of Georgia is the senior college preference of the local
student group. Such is the interest statisitical data de
rived from the 1937-38 Personal Sheets in the office.
Statistics from the personal
sheets show that when the fresh
man group entered this college 108
were most interested in athletics
as an extra curricular activity,
forty-eight selected Glee Clubs,
thirty-nine prefered religious acti
vities, twenty-nine were for col
lege publications and twenty-nine
were for dramatics. Literary so
cieties, debates and orchestras
were next in line.
“I want to be a school-teacher,”
clamored seventy-two of the Frosh.
And so the pedagogies are listed as
the most popular choice of pro
fessions. Home Economics rates
second —twenty-one. Ten prefered
to be Home Demonstration Agents,
so it is rated third as a profession
choice. Law, journalism and nurs
ing are next in rank. Others have
picked aviation, dancing, dietitics,
medicine, etc. One lad made it
known on his record that he wish
ed to be a brick mason. And lis
ten to this, boys! Only four girls
listed home-making as their de
finite choice for a profession. The
total of the various choice of pro
fessions number twenty-six.
The Baptist held the edge over
the other eight religious affilia
tions. The exact numbers are: Bap
tist, one hundred thirty-nine;
Methodist, one hundred sixteen;
Christian, thirteen; Presbyterian,
