Joe York And Tom Luck Named By Activities Committee As Business Managers For College Publications Business Managers of The West Georgian and The Chieftian, college newspaper, and annual, are Joe York and Tom Luck, respectfully, according to. announcements from the Faculty Committee on Publications. These two sophomore students were selected from a ° , plicants for the positions, because they proved to be most capable of handling the business and financial affairs of the two student journals. Joe York, Luthersville, newly' appointee for the business mana gership of The WEST GEORGIAN, has been engaged in the advertis ing and salesmanship fields and appears to have the re quisites for filling the position in a commendable manner. Officials of the newspaper expressed belief that they anticipated his services as being invaluable to the publica tion. When asked for a statement, York remarked that he “was stressing only one point . . • that being for student support for the merchants using The WEST GEORGIAN as an advertising medium.” Tom Luck, of Carrollton, has previous experience in the adver tising fields of West Georgia’s pub lications, having served on the staffs during the past term. Mem bers of the Committee making the Z-112 Mr. Lasseter, a frequent visitor to West Georgia College, was in troduced by President I. S. In gram. Both of these men com mented on the N. Y.

He pleaded for an understanding of the goal which the work is attempting to reach.

For those who possibly might be interested he went so far as to define the re quirements for such work and gave suggestions about £he neces sary preparations. Oriental Conditions Mr. Lasseter delivered an ad dress on approximately this same topic here last year; and again he related parts of his colorful ex periences in China. He spoke of existing conditions in the Far East, described the conquest of Manchuria, and in his commenta tions brought to light the “inside” story of many current events. All of his remarks led to the conclusion that, "just because peo ple across a specific boundry, do not get the idea that they are not human. I found high class people in every country I visited. To make civilization safe we must have intimate relationships with the peoples of other nations and we must know foreigners better.” appointments made it known that they believe he will prove to be a successful Business Manager for The Chieftain. Luck is familiar with the localities which the Chief tain will cover as an advertising medium. He is formulating plans with the idea in mind of a smaller staff and each member having de finite assignments. Actual can vassing will not begin until the winter quarter. “Through my business staff and Editor-in-Chief, I sincerely believe we can make this year's annual a financial success. We are very fortunate this year to have Helen Mitchell for our editor, because she is a willing worker and is deeply interested in the success of the annual,” stated Business Manager Luck, as he unfolded plans and talked very optimisti cally.

M. was real ly a battle of wits! In the front corfter we found four Bears; one papa bear, “Talmadge” Herndon, one mama bear, “Red” Reynolds, and two 'itty bitty baby bears, “Danny-boy” Brewster, and “Hard hearted” Hardman. Only this time children were seen and heard. To preserve wild life from indiscriminate members of the opposite corner—the audience —a brain-trust was established. This brain-trust consisted of the Social Science Profs, of our campus, G. Oober and S. Hifty. The littlest of these two, tho, had an awr-ful time being seen. But, gee, when he did get in a word—whatta word! Three freshman girls actual ly worked up a pinkish blush. Anadded and unexpected attrac tion to the scheduled bout was a little skirmish between a distin guished President and half of the "brainers.” S. Hifty was already at a disadvantage because of the slight rheumatic condition in the knees from being so much on the up and down either “answering or suggesting.” So many students were feelin’ absolutely unnecessary because their knowledge of the “to battle or not to battle” question was (Continued from Page Six) The Souths Best Junior College Newspaper NUMBER TWO The European crisis, for the past few weeks, aroused intense excitement among students. Out standing interests were apparently classed as; the possibilities of the United States becoming entangled in foreign affrays, and the tie-up between the current events and social science classes.

Speeches, forums and addresses featured noted au- Rcad “Random Thoughts In World Affairs,” by Associ ate Editor Barnwell, on this issue's editorial page. theorities, local professors and stu dents. All the subjects used per tained to current topics. Participants Listed Appearing on the programs were: L. E. Roberts, head of West Georgia College social science de partment; Reverend A. B. Jones, of Atlanta, with his World Peace Car; and Dr. George Raffolovitch, nationally known authority. Par ticipants in the student forum were Tommy Herndon, Dan Brew ster, Henry Hardman and Betty Reynolds. Roberts Speaks Professor Roberts began the series of discussions Tuesday, September 27, by speaking on the subject, “America Looks at Eu rope.” Mr. Roberts emphasized the fact that democracy is fast de caying in Europe. He also stated that, “In these times of chaos and change, it is left up to America to stand fast for the democracies of Europe.” World Peace Second in the series of the dis cussions were speeches delivered Wednesday night, September 28, by Reverend Ashton B. Jones, of Atlanta, and a Mr. Davies, of Lon don, England. Both men are World Peace devotees. Rev. Jones pointed out to the audience the consequences of another world conflict and praised the person who would stand up for peace, even in the face of death. He at tacked those advocates of “fight for democracy” on the grounds that they were the business men who become millionaires from the profits of war. The other talk, made by Mr. Davies, was of a slightly different nature. Rather than making a desperate plea for peace, Mr. Dav ies pointed out the fact that war at (Continued from Page Six) In This Issue Ciceronian Page 3 Debate Club News 2 Editorials 4 French Club 3 Society 3 Sports 5 Zeta Sigma Pi 6
