NORTH POLE
W. G. "Eskimos" Thrill As Old Man
Winter Chases Spring With Big Snow
BY LOUISE FLOYD
At long last, when spring lias finally arrived, we have had
a. taste of genuine winter. Ihe campus of Genola T. ech, as well
as entire North Georgia, was blanketed with several inches of
snow. West Georgians unconsciously proved that they are
"Eskimos” at heart.
It was definitely unsafe to venture
outside of dormitories. Both boys and
girls were lurking everywhere—be
hind bushes and buildings —with a
ready supply of ammunition to pelt
passers-by. It is the general opinion
that a tidy sum would have been of
fered for the opportunity of rudely
removing the top hat from the head
of any aristocratic old gentleman. At
any rate, the atmosphere was literal
ly alive with whizzing snowballs.
It was the chance of a lifetime for
the campus camera fiends to get the
kind of picture that they have always
wanted. The silently falling snow,
the unusual array of costumes, and
the beautiful scenery afforded many
delightful shots. In later years, these

Series Wed., 8:00 P.M.
The third in a series of lectures
and discussions on war background
issues, and related subjects, will be

part in the discusions. To date, two
meetings, well attended by faculty
and students, have been held. The
first, February 25th, had as its topic,
“The Geography of the War and the
Role of the United States.” After the
presentation of the subject matter,
an open discussion was held. The sec
ond meeting had Prof. Hodges as its
main speaker on “The Origins of
Totalitarianism.”
Tomorrow night, March 11, the
topic will be “The Rise of Nazi Ger
many.” Dr. C. B. Clark, Sara Col*-
quit, Hubert Vaughn, and Eula Mae
Morgan, members of the Debate Club
and the Social Science Club will
present short papers after which the
meeting will be open for discusion.
These meetings will continue until
the end of May. Faculty members
who have already consented to take
leading parts in the program include
President Ingram, Dr. Folger, Miss
Eliason, Mr. Bennett, Mr. McKee
han, and others. A complete list of

pictures will recall the glorious ex
periences that furnished enjoyment
for everyone.
One of the highlights of the day
was at 4:30 Monday afternoon, when
the freshmen challenged the sopho
mores and juniors to a snow battle.
The winner has not yet been an
nounced and from all appearances
both sides gave and took a beating.
The battle ended in a compromise,
with the teams building a snow
woman.
All were sorry when Monday night
came, for the darkness called a halt
to the activities of the day. Yet upon
rising Tuesday morning, students
found that the snow had not gone and
it still lingers in our memories.

CAN DO IN THIS EMERGENCY”
“I don’t doubt that women will be
conscripted to some type of service
before this war is over,” declared
Mrs. L. E. Roberts to the Alpha Psi

Thursday evening at 7:30.
Mrs. Roberts spoke on the timely
subject of “What Women Can Do

GIRLS TO TRAIN FOR
MARIETTA BOMBER PLANT
West Georgia is doing its part
in the new move to prepare
women as well as men for defense
jobs, chief, among which are those
in the aircraft factories.
Beginning next quarter a num
ber of women now on the residen
tial project and others coming in
will train “on the hill” in sheet
metal work, steel shop operation,
welding, and heat testing.
This is an effort on the part of
the National Government to pre
pare for supplying labor to Bell
Aircraft factory now being con
structed at Marietta. It just goes
to prove that this is a woman’s
war, too.
WAR TO DISTORT PRESENT ECONOMY
AND PRODUCTION. HE DECLARES
BY ELIZABETH FANNIN
Dr. Glenn Sutton, of the faculty of the School of Com
merce of the University of Georgia at Athens, explained clear
ly and forcefully the enormous expenditures of the war at the
regular chapel program today.
Dr. Floyd Tells Students
Of China’s Part in War
“American people do not properly
evaluate the Chinese,” declared Dr.
A. C. Floyd in an address to West
Georgia students at a delayed chapel
program last Tuesday.
Dr. Floyd, a native of Chipley, is
at present a professor of Far Eastern
History at Emory University. He is
recognized as one of the nation’s out
standing experts on the history of the
Far East and on political trends of
the present generation.
For a number of years Dr. Floyd
taught in the Methodist Church
schools in Japan and during that time
made frequent visits to China, study
ing the political government and
progress of that country. In his dis
cussion of China and its present place
as an ally of the United States, Dr.
Floyd reminded his hearers that the
civilization of China is one of the
oldest in the world. He gave a most
interesting account of the cultural
life of China at a time when this
nation was in its infancy, telling how
European nations turned to China
for information and study in the cul
ture of that time.
Dr. Floyd declared that China is at
the present time one of the most
powerful allies, if not the most
powerful ally, which this nation has,
especially because of her strategic
position and her ability to meet the
Japs on even terms. It was his belief
that China and the United States
should and would exert the greatest
influence in shaping the peace treaty
at the end of the war.
Guns, Victory Signs And Patriotic
Colors Symbolize Victory Dance
V for victory, stacked guns to pick off a Jap, red, white
and blue, 15 piece orchestra —all symbolizing patriotism and
victory—were predominant at the Melson Hall “Victory” dance
Friday night at the gym.
The dance floor was roped off with
victory colors supported by the phy
sical ed. dummy guns stacked in
three’s and covered in red, white and
blue. Four red, white and blue stream
ers hung from the red and blue ceil
ing lights to the walls, not to mention
the V . . . over the basketball
goal and on the red, white and
blue bedecked stage on which the
Technicians played for four hours.
The Technicians’ featured vocalist
sang several numbers.
And talk about guests—the gym
was packed! Besides the student
body and faculty, there were the
Mercer Glee Club, the Senior Class
of Carrollton High School, and for
mer students. The soloist of the Mer
cer singers told everyone about “This
Love of Mine” as a special request.
NUMBER TEN
That this wur will distort present
economy, Dr. Sutton declared, can
already be seen in its effect on the
automobile industry. Great shortages
of materials will be wide-spread. The
national debt will continue to in
crease. Civilian production will be al
most unbelievably reduced. Women
will eventually have to register for
defense w r ork and assume more res
ponsibilities for production at home.
These changes will, he pointed out,
bring about a social revolution in
America. War always lowers stand
ards of living.
Industrial taxes and greater pur
chase of defense bonds will be neces
sary to finance the war. Dr. Sutton
also discussed inflation and the pos
sibilities of preventing it.
After the lecture, a forum was held
at which time Dr. Sutton answer
ed question? asked from the floor.
Students and faculty members re
ceived with interest and enthusiasm
this discussion on such a timely sub
ject.
The college is endeavoring to bring
men of outstanding reputation in a
lecture series from time to time, and
Dr. Sutton’s appearance on today’s
chapel program marks one of thd
most important of the year.
Register March 13-14
Students will register for the
spring quarter Friday afternoon
and Saturday, March 13-14.
Everyone is urged to make ar
rangements to pay his fees at the
office before leaving on Thursday,
March 19, so that class cards will
be in the instructors’ hands the
following Monday morning when
classes begin.
The presence of the Mercer stud
ents gave the men a majority, a fact
which is rather unusual at a West
Georgia dance this year. *
After the dance had gotten well
under way, Roy Whitener, Melson
Hall president, and his pretty date,
Louise Mitchell, began the grand
march which ended after marching
twice around the floor, with the facul
ty receiving line greeting each stud
ent. The receiving line was composed
of Mr. and Mrs. Ingram, Mr. and
Mrs. Gunn, Dr. and Mrs. Folger,
Miss Ward and Mrs. Williams.
All in all, the Melson HalT “Vic
tory” dance was the super-colossal
event of the winter quarter. With
quoting Miss Ward, “The best dance
I’ve seen in my eight years here,”
we would also heartily agree.
