SMOOTH
AYINGS
Hearts and flowers, flowers and
hearts —that same old refrain as an
other formal dance approaches—this
time, the final one of the year. And
we are wondering what the girls will
rate this time.
*** * *
It’s a safe bet that Truett Putnam
and "the Miller’s daughter” will be
dancing down near the §tage with
stars in their eyes.
*** * *
Ask Kidd if she has any new ad
ditions to her art gallery. Hmmm
and Dottie Burton, too. Someone
suggested that they pool their inter
ests for the sake of a peaceful atmos
phere in Adamson.
*** * *
It would seem that Pat Dozier has
quite a few "friends” in Melson,
wouldn’t it? Do you suppose she has
a preference yet?
#** * *
If you’re wondering why the mourn
ful strains of funeral marchs have
been penetrating the outer walls of
Adamson, just ask any of the girls.
They insist they’ve buried their first
childhood in an effort to graduate to
their second —.
*** * *
Has Coralice started courting an
other Melson inmate?
*** * *
Estes, is it those big blue eyes of
yours that ge those numerous dates
with our beautiful little May Queen?

Avery welcome welcome to Davy
and Bishop. After all, we’re present
ing them with their first copy of the
"West Georgian”.

SANFORD LIBRARY
RECEIVES NEW BOOKS
Sanford Library received in the
month of April many noteworthy and
intresting books, among which the
highligths appeared to be:
"The South Since the War”, by
Sidney Andrews for those interested
in the political and economical stat
us of the South. For all lovers of
music there is the new "Harvard
Dictionary of Music”, by Will Appel.
"The Fun Enclycopedia” by Harbin
should prove delightful reading.
"Heath’s New German-English, Eng
lish-German Dictionary” should be of
interest. "The Speech Personality” by
Murray proves propitious to English
students. On the lighter side, "Parties
for Young Americans” by Spiner
suggests a pleasant pastime. "Full Em
ployment in a Free Society” by W.
H. Beveridge should be heartily rec
ommended to the members of Dr.
Robert’s Social Science 102 Class.
For those interested in the study
of poetry, there is "The Forms of
Poetry” by Untermeyer.
Other prominent selections are:
"Makers of Modern Strategy” by
Earle, "Sinews of Peace” by Her
bert Feis, "Rise of Universities” by
C. H. Haskins, "Balkan Background”
by Newman, "The Pacific World” by
Osburne, "Film and School” by
Rand, "The Constitution Reconsid
ered” by Read, "Lead a Long” by
Wilson.
Letter From Former
West Georgia Student
Northwest Pacific, May 7, 1945.
Dear Editor:
You probably don’t know me, so
I’ll introduce myself. I am Merrell
(Deadline) Wade, (also Deadhead at
times) allumnus on protest. The war
snatched me from my dear ole Alma
Mater (among the tears of Co-Eds.)
about ten years before I was ready to
leave. Those were the good old days
at "Genola Tech” —Chow in the huge
mess-hall with everybody, student
body elections (such mud-slinging),
freshman week, and dancing in the
gym every Friday and Saturday night.
Saturday afternoon, taking ones
heart-attack to the horse-opera is tra
ditional. Or maybe a frenzied effort
is being made to decorate the gym
with some hysterical background for
a dance. Then overyone makes a
mad rush to get the corsages out to
Melson for final inspection. AH this
propaganda is shipped down to the
various military objectives on D-day.
Then all hands go to General Quart-
THE WEST GEORGIAN
ers in full battle dress just before Id
hour. Patrols have already been fil
tering in! We strike, swiftly, quietly,
and all prisoners are brought to a
concentration point where an orches
tra is waiting. The dance is on! Out
here, I have to dance with Minnie the
Mermaid from down on the bottom
of the sea. She wears a corsage of
sea-weed. Between dances one takes
an intermission to shoot Japs. They
don’t approve of dancing. Maybe I'd
better change paragraphs (Miss Camp
bell wouldn’t approve) but this one
is to mention only a few of the things
I love about West Georgia College.
What school could do without pack
ing in a bus like so much C-rations
on Sunday morning and going to
church? And Sunday afternoon, sit
on the front campus and dish out
propaganda that would put Goebels
to shame.
But aside from this incoherent rav
ing, I would like to say that Faculty
and Student Body have done a great
job in turning out fighters, for the
best Fighting Forces in the world must
strive to reach and maintain. They’re
built hard and strong, like the coral
reef that tore out the bottom of my
boat. (#tb”6£(a))
We’ll be seeing you —
T. M. Wade.
Rationing At West
Georgia College
(By Margaret Martin)
Rationing is beginning to take its
toll at West Georgia College. The
problem in the dining hall has be
come an extremely serious one. There
are numerous examples of the grave
ness of the situation. Last quarter
the dining hall received 500 pounds
of sugar every two months. At the
beginning of the winter quarter it
received only 181 pounds which was
also to last two months. This would
have meant three teaspoons of sugar
a week to each student. After much
effort on the part of Miss Harring
ton and Dean Gunn, they were suc
cessful in securing for the college 160
pounds more. This was a total of 341
pounds to last two months.
The dining hall received 19,344
processed points to be used during
January and February. 800 points
are required to serve canned pears
for one meal, 780 to serve applesauce,
640 to serve beans, 800 to serve corn,
800 to serve tomatoes, and 840 to
serve tomato catsup.
The dining hall received 16,154
meat points for January and Febru
ary. Enough beef for one meal costs
684 points, and pork for one meal
costs 570 points.
These examples showed plainly
enough that the situation facing April
and May was indeed grave. The stu
dents proved and are proving their
spirit of cooperation by taking only
the amount of food they can eat and
then eating all of it and not wasting
food in any other manner. This
crisis is passing much more easily.
