West Georgia Communications
Center Has House Warming
For Faculty And Students
Dr. Me Addresses
Student Body
‘"This is a time of waiting—a time
of disruption of plans and hopes/
stated Dr. Goodrich C. White, pre
sident of Emory University, in his
address to West Georgia students.
He expressed an idea that is fore
most at this time—that young peo
ple should continue in school as long
as possible with the idea of prepar
ing themselves as well as possible,
should keep physically fit, and should
discipline their minds. As he quoted
President Roosevelt, young people
‘‘must be prepared for a peace wor
thy of this war." The prayer of all of
us should be, as the words from the
hymn, “Grant Us Wisdom, Grant Us
Courage for the Living of These
Days.”
Dr. White closed by saying: “Every
day you prepare, you prepare your
self for a soldier and citizen. If
we serve we will be ready when the
time of waiting is over. Go willing
ly. Be ready to come back to fight
for a world with liberty. May God
grant to each of us the wisdom and
courage we need for the living of
these days.”

Students Participate In
The Various Activities
In Communication Center
Betty Speckt
Everybody has been asking about
the Communication Center—'' What
is it-”—“Where is it?”—and "Whate
it ail about?" Here it is in a few
words.
The things there for the uae and
observation of each student range
from photography—taking still pic
tures, developing and printing pic
tures, operating slide or strip Mm
projector; wing pictures which in
cludes scenary writing, editing, tak
ing moving pictures and operating the
projector to recordings and radio
writing scenarios for radio and record
ing, speaking and singing for radio
play's and recording and making
sound effects. Besides there are dra
matics and writing including play
writing, acting, and directing, writ
ing news stories, features, and letters,
special writing, typing and mimeo
graphing. On display are posters by
the Mexican cartoonist, A. A. Ber
nal!, which were contributed by Mr.
Adams. The necessary' equipment is
provided for designing and making
posters, silk screen printing, linoleum
block printing, lettering posters, draw
ing cartoons or simple figures, paint
ing. arranging displays cm bulletin
boards and arranging scrap books.
In Dr. Smith’s opinion the keynote
of the situation is that every student
was permitted to take part in each
activity. But everybody’s chief in
terest seem to be on the broadcasting
station. Even though the necessary
materials have already been obtain
ed, it is doubtful if the government
will permit its completion. The ama
teur stations already in operation will
be permitted to continue but there
is great doubt whether anymore will
be completed for the duration.
For our Communication Center we
are greatly indebted to Dr. and Mrs.
Smith, Mrs. Yoeman, Mrs. Giles,
Miss Aliaaon, Dr. Witcher, Mrs.
Adams, Mr. Doubles, and Mi*
Campbell. There are certain students
who should also receive recognition,
Quinton Prince, Vera Richardson,
and Merreii Wade.
