CLUB NEWS
Band News
The West Georgia College Band
has had two practices since the be
ginning of the Winter Quarter. It
has fourteen new arrangements of
fine popular tunes, making about
thirty arrangements in all.
Although the band is in need of
a trombone, alto sax, and bass fid
dle player and their instruments, it
has progressed fairly well. One
factor which has helped this pro
gress is the new set of drums
which give the band its needed
rhythm.
Anyone wishing to join the band
is welcome at any of the practice
sessions. Announcements as to time
and place of practice are made in
the dining hall, usually during the
noon meal.
The members feel that they will
be ready to play for some of our
school dances in the not too far
distant future.
Zeta Sigma Pi
Zeta Sigma Pi had its regular
bimonthly meeting on Thursday
evening, January 9, at 7:00 o’clock.
The meeting was called to order
by the club’s president, Tom Mor
gan. After old and new business
was accounted for, the panels con
vened separately for their pro
grams.
The Debating panel had an in
teresting evening of fellowship.
Two students were featured on the
program; Mildred Garner explain
ed the “Art of Personality” from a
political viewpoint, and Lee Mundy
discussed the subject, “They Need
Our Help” in which she pointed
out the needs of the German peo
ple in the post-war reconstruction
period.
After these students had spoken
the panel as a whole gave anabolic
criticisms on their speeches and ex
plained the principles of debating.
One of the aims of Zeta Sigma
Pi for the Winter Quarter is to or
ganize a debating team at West
Georgia. We have gotten off to a
good start with the preliminaries
and are hoping that in the near fu
ture West Georgia College will
have one of the best debating
teams in the state.
THE WEST GEORGIAN
Gen-Pen News
Everyone has heard about the
Gen-Pen Contest being sponsored
by the Press Forum. This article
serves only as a reminder to those
who may be putting off beginning
their contributions. The contest
closes on February 28.
Mr. Borroughs states that theie
is still time to enter the contest,
and urges that all who are inter
ested to do so right away. Mr. Bor
roughs feels that this is a very
good opportunity for displaying cre
ative ability and originality. In
event any student is interested in
entering the contest at this time,
he should see Mr. Borroughs who
will be glad to furnish information
on the few regulations governing
the contributions.
It is quite an honor to have an
offering accepted for publication
in Gen-Pen, and it is hoped an even
larger number of students will sub
mit entries.
V.R.A. News
A generous response was given
the V. R. A. Council by the student
body just before Christmas holi
days in money, food, and clothing
for the needy. The total sum of
actual cash contributed amounted
to $79.99 and a large amount of
foodstuff and clothing supplement
ed the cash offerings.
Committees from the council di
vided the donations among eight
families in and around Carrollton
whose names had been presented
as being really in need of such ar
ticles. The baskets were delivered
personally by the council on Satur
day before school closed for the
holidays.
The blessing of giving an old
man, alone in the world, sick and
half-starved, something to renew
his hold on life was, it seemed, the
most gratifying result of the ven
ture. Baskets went to a family
whose home was burned Thanks
giving, several families of poor
means with children hungry and
improperly clothed for cold weath
er, and an old couple who lived
alone out from Sand Hill. All the
gifts were received in the same
spirit they were given, with Christ
mas and Christ in the hearts of
those who gave.
The V. R. A. Council heartily
thanks the members of the Student
Body who make up the Voluntary
Religious Association for their gen
erous contributions.

THE FEAR OF
PYTHAGORUS
Slinking down the corridor I
shivered with dread as I thought
of the agony that was to be mine
for the next fifty-five minutes. I
was on my way to college algebra
and I felt as Dante must have felt
as he skidded to a halt before Cer
berus.
College alegbra to some people is
great fun. However, I have notic
ed that these people usually have
abnormally bright eyes and hyper
sensitive chromoballate papillae.
Upon further research, I found
that these are the symptoms of in
fectious medlioccious which is
caused by smoking a mixture of
cocaine, opium, r.ovacaine, and last
year’s moth balls.
"There is no escape for people
like me,” I thought, as I dejectedly
crept into the class room. Looking
up, the math teacher saw me and
sneered me into the seat reserved
for mental zombies. After making
a few preliminary remarks, the in
structor passed a few problems out
to a few people, but missed me be
cause I was hiding behind a piece
of chalk. I was not so fortunate
the second time and was asked the
relatively simple question, "What
is the square root of the cube root
of a radical over u radical over a
compound fraction with negative
exponents the coefficients of which
have been swished through a solu
tion (dilute) of three-two Bude
weiser.”
The class perked up their collec
tive ears and grinned sadistically
as I asked him to explain more ful
ly the term “swished.”
Rubbing his hands over a fresh
bed of vitriol coals, the instructor
grinned fiendishly as he ran over
In his mind new phrases and com
binations of old ones designed to
put the fear of Pytha.Torus into
the blood, lymph lacteals and numb
mind of anyone brash enough to
leave themselves so utterly, so com
pletely, open.
“You are,” he said, “A mental
lugubriosity—an atrocious example
of parents’ blind devotions to a
lost cause, and as fine an argument
for mercy killings as I have ever
seen! Anyone should know the an
swer is O squared.”
I suggested feebly that my lack
of algebraic agility was due to a
lack of mathematical genes. “I be
lieve,” I said, “That all my math
genes were inherited by our dog
who will pat his foot twice on the
command ‘count, Bosco’, wag his
tail in a circular manner allowing
it to fall in a perpendicular fashion

PULSE OF
THE PUBLIC
(Bill Anthony)
Ah! yes there’s good news today.
We may fail to find it by listening
to the pulse of the public but
somewhere there’s good news.
Winter quarter begins and here
and there we see anew face taking
the place of missing ones. The us
ual chatter of food can be heard but
yet all hats are off to the dining
room staff for these inexpensive
meals.
One wonders what has become of
those fast drivcis: did they cool off
during Christmas or will at any
minute one of them buzz by at a
frightening rate.
All boys on the campus were
amazed just the other day when
the “blue flash,” that blue Mercury
from Wright rides up minus a ra
diator. Instead they found a trash
can substituted and, believe it or
not, it keeps the motor from over
heating.
This week the meals and other
unimportant incidents took a back
seat when it was announced that
Georgia had become the first state
to have two governors to rule sim
ultaneously. Two groups of veter
ans held meetings to send to their
respective men telegrams inform
ing these men that they were be
hind them a hundred percent. The
message to Governor Arnall had
nearly a hundred names. It seems
that everyone wants the people’s
choice —the question is “Who is the
people’s choice?” Everywhere ar
guments could be heard for this
man and the other. Now that this
question is no longer up to the peo
ple but to Georgia’s highest court
your reporter wonders what the
people will find to talk about. We
can always fall back on the weath
er.
This weather, on second thought,
is a good topic of discussion. Since
the winter quarter convened I have
heard more people using profane
language to describe the weather
that I believe it is time I used a
little of the same—about the weath
er of course.
