Our Advertisers
A glance at the register this year again shows an increase in stu
dents—West Georgia is growing and we are proud to be students of this
institution. Last year the enrollment broke all previous records, and this
year it increased to four hundred forty. West Georgia is the youngest
institution in the University and yet it ranks second in enrollment.
The college looks forward with a more complete housing situation
and a better selection of courses than in previous years with highly
specialized training for the teachers. Our school cannot fail in supply
ing Georgia with well educated men and women.
And again we have the advantage of worthwhile chapel programs.
Through the cooperation of the Carrollton Rotary Club, the Administra
tion is bringing some of the South’s most selected speakers and educa
tors to the college campus. We feel that the faculty, student body and
outside interest are all working together in a common aim—to make a
good junior college even better.
West Qeorgict Progresses
Probably no college newspaper has been given to the students with
out a plea, at times during the term, for patronizing the advertisers.
The student activity fee, unfortunately, does not supply “The West
Georgian” with enough money to publish a complete paper—the adver.
tisers make our newspaper possible.
The ads show that a great variety of merchandise may be obtained
from Carrollton firms that have confidence in “The West Georgian” as
a good advertising medium. All are things that students must buy. It
is only reasonable to expect the students to patronize the concerns that
look favorably on the school and help the school.
Our advertisers will not be aware of the great amount of student
purchases unless we let them know that we attend West Georgia Col
lege. Show them that advertising in “The West Georgian” pays!
However, there is a certain class of business firms in Carrollton
which expect and get much trade from West Georgia students who will
not and have not cooperated with college activities.
Students, let’s stick together and patronize those who patronize us.
Don’t purchase an article from a firm that won’t back you.
Do You Cram?
Students, do you realize that mid-term exams are taking place this
week? Mid-term exams have a habit of finding students unprepared
then they resort to last minute cramming. Last minute cramming on
the part of the laggard usually does more harm than good as the mind
is filled with memory work rather than reason.
Especially will this exam mean a great deal to you Freshmen, as it
will classify you. Freshmen, only ten percent of the students in the Uni
versity System failed to pass the examinations. This is a fixed percent
age, however it may vary in the different colleges.
Students, especially Freshmen, TAKE HEED OF THIS ARTICLE!
DO YOUR BEST ON MID-TERM EXAMS—YOU WON’T REGRET IT.
Take Your Time
Some of the students on our campus have a rather strange habit,
•hey complain throughout the day about how bad certain things they
“simply cannot eat” are served in the dining hall, but when the time
comes to eat they push and pack close to the dining hall doors waiting
to be fed that “stuff.” We are of the opinion that actions speak louder
than words. This two-faced performance is not the important part of
the matter but the shoving itself. It is quite possible to injure someone
in this mad scramble for food. No doubt the boys realize that there
are girls on this campus but when it comes time to eat they treat these
girls as if they were so many sacks of cement. The big brutes on our
campus are not altogether to blame; some of our co-eds really let their
hair down. It is every man for himself. In other words “Don’t push
folks, there is enough for everyone.” Besides, act your age, young gen
tlemen and ladies confine rough treatment to their parents and not
their classmates.—M. M.
THE WEST GEORGIAN
'On The
'Otar Path'
(By Geo. Marvin Martin)
GRIPE SESSION .... In the
last issue advice was given to the
multitude of freshmen on our
campus, but it now appears that
they are not all together to blame.
West Georgia is cursed with the
same plague that infects other col
leges every where. Our school is
suffering from too many publici
teers who try to lead the student
body out of thd “wilderness” by
putting on exhibitions just to im
press their own little bootlicking
stooges. An example: the student
activities room is filled to overflow
ing by these radicals who believe
in communism, the kind that
crushes all resistance with the re
ply. “You watch me, I am the one”.
If these mugs would come down to
earth and remember those little
one-horse towns they are from
everyone would be better off and
some of these mirrors on the cam
pus would get a rest. Perhaps these
people could straighten up from the
strain they are in . . . ask them
how cramped one can get from al
ways patting one’s self on the back.
WHAT WAR ... We are .aware
of this fact: there is a war in Eu
rope and that is as far as most
students’ interest goes. Sure, peo
ple are being killed every day but
many persons are killed by auto
mobiles in America and we don’t
have to hear, see and read of our
butchery every minute of the day.
We students, boys and girls who
will be used if this hemisphere be
comes involved, prefer Fred Waring
or Kay Kyser to Charlie McCarthy
"Reds” expressing their views.
These comentators are too old to
fight but they drive us on and on
wanting to see OUR blood spilled.
We adopt the attitude that war
news and propaganda is exactly
what Sherman said war, itself was
The time has come when we see
Hitler’s picture we no longer boo
with that old fire and enthusiasm
we once had. .Let’s forget the
horseplay across the "crick” and
take up "jitterbugging” . ... it
may be a form of insanity but it is
not half as nerve wracking and de
molishing to the host’s furniture as
the foreign “parlor” games they
are now playing.
DOWN FROM THE HILLS . . .
Members of the WEST GEORGIAN
staff were rather startled this week
when we received a paper (?) from
that school up North Georgia way.
It came as a surprise and a shock
to all that Dahlonega is even at
tempting to turn out a four page
rag of history and we will be even
more surprised if they can ever get
out another one. Besides where is
the reply to last year’s duel or have
we outclassed you by winning nat
ional recognition?
MEET THE MOB . . . Salute to
our former campus pals and class
cutters, SERENA HANSARD and
“ DROOPY " ALMON . . . Congra
tolations are in order for MR. and
MRS. ALMON ... the T-MODEL
TRIO IS STILL functioning thru
the courtesy of freshmen BILL
CLEGHORN, JOHN COOPER, and
JACK PRINCE . . . Now it is
time to beat a hasty retreat into
my wig -warn until after the mid
term goose egg hunt to study . . .
bad grades are apt to put my very
near and dear relatives ON THE
WAR PATH.
