W.G.C. Breaks Even In
Dual Debate With GS.C.
Hyatt And Morgan Win
Arguments While Padgett
and Champion Lose
West Georgia’s negative team
carried away the laurels in the
Dual Debate, recognized as the
most important of the local club’s
activities, with Georgia Southwest
ern at Americus, Friday, Nov. 17.
while the affirmative West Georgia
team was defeated in Americus.
The victorious West Georgia team
composed of Eula Mae Morgan,
Woodbury, and Mather Hyatt, Cen
tralhatehee, met the visiting team
on the campus argueing the ques
tion, ‘Resolved: that the Federal
government should follow a policy
of strict isolation toward all na
tions outside the western hemis
phere engaged in civil or interna
tional war.”
Forest Champion, Chipley, and
Edgar Padgett, Ringgold, upheld the
affirmative in the debate at Amer
icus where they were accompanied
by L. E. Roberts, faculty advisor
for the club, who made the state
ment that the West Georgia team
gave a better debate than in pre
vious years.
POINTS OUTLINED
Arguments put forth by Hyatt
and Morgan included such points
as: “We need not let women and
children of belligerent nations
starve and freeze while in America
the farmers fight for survival just
because they can’t find a market
for cotton, meat, and wheat.” “The
neutrality act increases our foreign
trade and lessens our chance of be
ing drawn into war. Isolation and
neutrality are not the same thing.”
The Americus affirmative team
composed of two freshmen, Wiley
Jones and Herbert Marshall, based
their argument on development of
the South American markets, and
the weakness of the Neutrality
Act.
The victorious Southwestern Col
lege team’s points included: “We
could not trade with Canada un
der this setup.” Question asked:
“Why will isolation keep us out of
war?” “Why will staying out of the
boxing ring keep me from getting
kayoed by one of the fighters.” (

Biblical Characters
Portrayed At Vespers
By Students
Asa Thanksgiving program the
Voluntary Religious Association,
with the help and direction of Mr.
Gordon Watson, voice instructor,
sponsored a musical pageant “Song3
of Thanksgiving” for the Sunday
vesper service. The pageant was a
narrative portrayal of the Thanks
giving songs of such Biblical char
acters as Moses, Borak, Deborah
Elizabeth, Mary, Simeon and
Joseph. Songs were by a double
quartet of members from both the
women’s and men’s glee clubs. Cos
tumes worn by the cast were color
ful and appropriate. The program
was the first of its kind this year.
Among the varied activities of
the Voluntary Religious Association
for the coming pre-Christmas
period is the formation of a Bible
study class for West Georgia stu
dents in which the members will
hold discussions leading up to the
birth of Christ.
Although there will be no vesper
program on Sunday, November 26,
because of the Thanksgiving holi
days as a feature of the vesper pro
gram on December 10 Mr. Morris S.
McKeehan, Biology professor will
give an aldress to those in attend
ance on the subject “Science and
Religion.”

tions chemist. While in New York
Joe worked at a men’s clothing
shop and attended school in New
ark, N. J.,
Fortunately, Henry’s parents now
live in New York City where Dr.
Linderbaum is an artist.
En route to Atlanta on the bus,
the boys were told of the “Southern
hospitality.” They all agreed about
the “beautiful Georgia belles” and
the friendliness of the people. “It
is quite different from the North,”
Joe said. “The Yankees never ask
any questions. ‘I reckon’ I answer
ed two million questions the first
week we were down here.”
NO COMMENT ON POLITICS
When asked about politics in
Germany the boys had no comment
to make. However, Henry stated
that Schussnig was a good man
and was liked by many. They con
tinued saying that they had had
enough politics. “But we are in it
again with this Freshman election.’
Hospitality and fellowship are the
primary attractions at West Geor
gia for the boys. Walter likes Miss
Ward and is impressed by the many
expressions of lollywogging. He
also likes the college dances and
appreciates the West Georgia girls.
Henry says, “Its a ‘decent place’
and and everybody is always nice
to us.” Joe likes the students’ good
sense of humor. “They are always
joking and playing. This is very
much unlike the old country.”
The food here is practically the
same as in Europe. They haven’t
had any Southern fried chicken,
but are looking forward to it. They
have just had their first encount
er with the Georgia Yam and seem
to like it. Walter interrupts say
ing that he likes sugar cane.
Joe misses the cold weather and
also his hobby which is skiing.

The refugees have read “Gone
With The Wind” and enjoyed it
very much. They had formed con
ceptions of the South and declared
that they wer e true to life. Some
of the students with a deep South
ern drawl are hard to understand
the boys said.
Tobias unfortunately, hasn’t
heard from his parents in two
months and stated that he never
expects to see them again. He con
tinued saying, “on this Thanks
giving, you American students
should be sincerely thankful and
appreciate those things which are
bestowed upon you.”
The three boys took pride in say
ing, “we want people just to think
of us as regular students. We would
be more than happy to be treated
as this. Don’t think that we have
a privileged position and we would
object to having one.
Walter concluded, “Except with
the girls.”
Congratulations...
