SENATOR CLAGHORN
SEEKS RE-ELECTION
On April Ist the fools cume
out and with them the President
of the Bums, our good friend Sen
ator Claghorn, Sr., senator from
Genola.
In a speech before the Genola
Liar’s Association, Claghorn out
lined his platform for the 1940
senatorial campaign in which he
will seek re-election. There has
been no candidate to announce
competition for Claghorn so far.
The senator’s platform consists
of eight planks, each of which is
considered very important by
the W.G.C. voters. Mis platform
is as follows:
Plank one—More Recreation.
More recreation and better ar
rangement of the gym facilities
for the students. "In a poll tak
en recently,” the senator says,
"280 students advocated more rec
reation. The main argument of
the students and faculty has been
the problem of grades. More stu
dents say that if they were allow
ed to dance before each meal they
would feel more like studying
when it came time for them to
do so.”
Plank two —Hot Water Condi
tions. "In the past there have
been many complaints to reach
me concerning the hot water con
ditions at W.G.C. These causes
can be easily rendered and hot
water supplied at any time it is
needed.
Boys have written me letters
giving reasons why they have not
had hot water and I find the
causes very unjustified. It is my
understanding that a student is
employed to keep hot water in
the barracks and it is supposed
to be his duty to carry out his
job. If I am re-elected, it will be
one of my main duties to see that
this job is carried out and that
the girls dormitories are also sup
plied with plenty of scalding hot
water.”
Plank three—More Benches for
the Front Campus—" The Sunday
afternoons at West Georgia are
the cleaners’ field days. Each
bench, or cement block, is too
small for two people to sit com
fortably on and to dirty for any-

one to sit on. I promise that I will
place nice clean benches with
plenty of space to lie down and
rest on them.”
Plank four—More Money for
the Athletic Program. "Why does
n’t W.G.C. have a football team?”
a friend of mine asked. My re
ply "No money.” When there is
no money to compose a team and
equip them there is no chance to
engaged in intercollegiate sports.
Each student, I feel, would be
willing to spent two more dollars
and have a few more athletic fa
cilities. All students agree that
an enlarged athletic program
would bring more students to W.
G.C. If elected again to the sen
ate, I will put a rider on any and
every bill to attain more funds
for this purpose.
Plank five—No Saturday Class
es—"lt has been said that if Sat
urday classes are not started at
West Georgia the school will be
come a black sheep of the Uni
versity System. In a survey I
personally made, I found that
quite a few schools in this dis
trict do not have the said classes.
Many students in this district of
Georgia come to West Georgia to
be close to home. If Saturday
classes are imposed on them, this
privilege will be of no use to
them.”
Plank six—More and Better
Food—"ln chapel, at the end of
last quarter, there was put up to
the student body a proposal to
raise the price of food at W.G.C.
This was voted down by the stu
dents because of the way the
measure was presented. If the
same measure was placed before
the same students now it is my
honest opinion that the vote
would be unanimous for the hik
ing of food prices.”
Plank seven —A Bigger College
Store —"A store 20 feet long and
10 feet wide can not possibly ac
comodate the students of West
Georgia. A large store, including
a soda fountain, a record player,
and several Coca Cola boxes
would bring the school much
more business and help keep stu
dents on the campus who would
otherwise go into Carrollton to
purchase these desired articles.”
Plank eight—Better Bus Ser
vice—" Many of the W. G. C. lads
have approached me and asked if
anything could be done about the
bus service to and from the bar
racks. As one boy expressed his
thoughts, ‘the buses are being run
for the convenience of the driv
ers and not for the convenience
of the students. We have had to
form a union in A Barracks to
keep part of the students from
being left when the bus leaves’.”
Such things as this should not
be allowed to exist on our cam
pus. If the drivers of the buses
do not stop this policy I will
place a bill befor Congress to
place the drivers on the walking
list.
In conclusion the senator re
emphasized his determination to
carry out all his palnks and do
the most god for the citizens of
Genola. Let us hope the Senator
is re-elected to Congress by un
animous vote.
