President Ingram
Defines Objectives
For Officers Club
Club Constitution
Is Next Goal
By Jack Barnwell
President I. S. Ingram, apparent
ly taking an interest in the here
tofore initiative-lacking Officer’s
Club’s recent attempts at gaining
campus recognition, gave the club
legs to stand on recently when he
announced a proposed set of ob
jectives for the organization after
q conference with Aaron Buckalew,
the club’s chairman.
Objectives Outlined
The objectives outlined by Presi
dent Ingram include three points:
(1) the coordination of the student
calendar, (2) the keeping of the
college objectives before the stud
ent body, and (3) the promotion
of wholesome activities. He also
suggested that a committee be form
ed of all the heads of the student or
ganizations to draw up a club con
stitution. While these objectives
were not specific it is thought
that their purpose is to give the
Officer’s Club as much scope for
improvement as possible.
Attracts Attention
The history of the Officer’s Club
is not very colorful. Every year
it has tried to raise itself from the
stagnant stage but all efforts have
failed because of dissension within
rather than oppression without.
This year, under its’ active leader,
Aaron Buckalew, the club has for
the first time attracted the atten
tion of the administration which
came in the form of President
Ingram’s proferred objectives. The
outcome is not certain by any
means; however, this administra
tion help should be an important
factor in the determination of the
outcome.

Members To Have Emblem
A Registered Collegiate Thumber
will have an official identification
card and an authorized emblem for
visible roadside identification. This
insignia is in the form of a highway
marker shield; seven by seven in
ches. In a diagonal band are the
letters R. C. T. while in the corn
ers are symbolic thumbs.
Remember to watch for the first
meeting of the West Georgian chap
ter of the Registered Collegiate
Thumbers.

Greatest Physical Acheivements
The dedication of the Rural Arts
Building and Dining Hall-Auditor
ium-Gymnasium is not a climax of
the vast building program which
has been in action on this campus
during the past years, but mererly
a milepost. Members of the admini
stration have expressed hopes that
the erection of another boys dormi
tory can be announced in the near
future.
The Rural Arts Building is com
pleted and in use. The two story,
fire-proof structure was erected at
a cost of about $30,000. The $50,000
building under construction is to
serve as an auditorium and gymna

the basement. It is scheduled to
be ready for use with the beginn
ing of the spring quarter.
