IT AIN'T GHOSTS—
IT'S WASHDAY
By KENNETH CADENHEAD
All was peace and serenity in
the small group of trees surround
ing a lone cabin. Then a fierce
wind began to force itself through
the trees with only the light of a
pale moon to guide it on its way.
It was the kind of wind that makes
one believe in ghosts. The shadows
looked as though the witches were
on their way. It was almost twelve
and if one believes in witches he
could have seen them and heard
the owls calling to each other—
ooooooooohhh.
A wan light shone through the
small cabin window. Not a light
of life causing odd shadows to
form on the wall and outside the
window.
We crept slowly along the way
to the small door keeping watch
for all creatures we might encoun
ter. We were going to investigate
to see if there were really such
things as ghosts. The wind was
still strong, carrying the dark
clouds over the small crescent
moon leaving no light to guide
fus save the pale light from the
window.
We crawled up the path facing
the wind and listened to the warn
ing of the owls that seemed to
say “Yooooooooou will have the
shoooooooock of yooooooour life!”
A courageous thought came to
our minds, ‘‘Who believes in
ghosts?”
Wait ! ! ! What is that white
object I see through the window??
Look, there is another, AND a
noother ! ! ! Ohhh, should we turn
back? No, we must go on.
With eyes wide and heart beat
ing with a sudden crescenda we
crept to the steps expecting any
minte long white arms outstretch
ed for us. Trembling, we reached
the first step. The squeak of the
first doorstep caused the hair to
rise on end. What would the sec
ond bring? Then the third, ohh—
the fourth. Many white objects
were waving inside making us
wish we were among the fortu
nate ones back in civilization. Lis
ten! Above the howling wind we
heard a horrible groan. We could
see all the horrid white objects.
Did they make noises??? How
could I open that door. But I had
to.
There were nice ciean ghosts.
They had just been washed and
were waving over the radiator.
About that groan. Let us look
around. Through another squeaky
doer we saw a scholarly lad labor
ing over a Physics problem, (the
groan is justified). We interrupt
ed his task with a few moments
of conversation. It was hard to
get his mind away from the theory
relativity. But we finally persuad
ed him that we were Archimedes
and we were not from the moon.
We explained our “mission”
and asked for an explanation for
the white things hanging on the
line. His reply was, “the process
is quite unembellished. Firstly,
one prepared a solution of Hydro
gen 2, Oxygen 1 with a cleansing
agent consisting of sodium or po
tassium salts of fatty acids, made
by decomposing the glycerly es
ters of fats and oils with alkalies.
Following this preparation one
places his habiliments in the solu
tion and with the exertion of phy
sical efficacy the raiment arrives
at the state of being free of im
purity.”
We will not go into the complete
conversation with the erduite per
son. We see how the poor fellow
has been affected. Aside from
his work he has taken time out to
establish a washday either because
the allowances is too small or the
show was too good last week.

West Georgia Is Well Represented At
1950 Georgia Press Institute In Athens
The Georgia Press Institute
which was held in Athens, Geor
gia, February 23, 24, and 25 was
instrumental in introducing to
Southern newspapermen a host of
outstanding journalists and writ
ers from all over the Eastern Unit
ed States. The West Georgian was
fortunate to have a delegation of
five staff members attending the
institute to profit from the infor
mation handed down by these ex
perienced journalists.
The program included addresses
by such distinguished writers as
Robert P. Tristram Coffin, author,
poet, and Pulitzer prize winner;!
Benjamin M. McKelwoy, editor of
the Washingion Star and presi
dent of the American Society of
Newspaper Editors; Robert Jan
ney, author of Miracle of the

West Georgia College Students Go
Into Business World For Themselves
Two West Georgia students,
Dale and Elaine Smith, have gone
into business for themselves. The
business, by title, “Dale Smith’s
Record Room”. The record shop is
located on Rome Street just off
the square, in the building former
ly occupied by Young’s Jewel
Box.
Dale has been in radio for five
years, and played in bands across
the nation since the age of twelve.
In general, he loves music. So,
the record shop is a dream come
true. Dale is Commercial Manager
of the radio station in Carrollton
and even though the business is
now open, he is still with the
radio station. The plans are to
the effect that wrten Elaine gra
duates this year, she will take
over the shop. In the meantime,
the Record Room is being capably
handled by Tommie Lee Garrett,
another West Georgia notable.
The Recbrd Shop is different
from most of the everyday busi
nesses. It’s modem to the last de
gree even though the decoration
is still incomplete. Dale and Ela
ine, with the help of Rex and
Oma Vaughn did all the manual
labor on the shop. The brains be
hind the decoration belong to
Hugh Wallace, who pitched in
without pay. To stimulate the mat
ter, the whole job had to be done
on fifty dollars . . . the shop is
now at that stage. It is the hope of
Dale and Elaine to carry Mr. Wal
lace’s sketches out in full at a later
date.
You’ll find in the record shop
editor of the Atlanta Constitu
tion.
The afternoon sessions of the
conference were composed of
panel discussions led by various
groups of Georgia newspaper edi
tors. The discussions emphasized
the function of the newspaper in
the community.
On Friday night, February 24,
a banquet sponsored by the Sigma
Delta Chi fraternity was held for
the Collegiate Press members.
Present were representations from
Georgia Tech, G. S. C. W., Mercer,
Emory, Middle Georgia and West
Georgia College. Featured speak
ers at this event were Mr. Lee
Rogers from the Atlanta Consti
tution, Mr. Robert Shellenberg
from the Saturday Evening Post,
and Mr. Guy Tiller from the At
lanta Journal.
plenty of turntables and benches
where you can listen to your fav
orite songs all afternoon* if you
like, without obligation. In fact,
that*s an invitation ror you to do
just that . . . Dale says you don’t
have to buy to listen so make
yourself at home.
Then you’ll find a complete line
of radios and record players, tele
vision and musical instruments.
The future will include sheet mu
sic, both classical and popular.
The Record Shop has all of the top
songs in all fields, can get all of
the different speeds for the new
machines . . . and features used
records for twenty-five cents.
These are records just played a
few times by the record manufac
turers . . . not juke box records.
So take a trip to the Record Shop
. . . you’ll enjoy spending your
leisure time in “Little New
York.”

Boys In Log Cabin
Vote For Work Day and
Improved Conditions
At a recent meeting the boys in
Log Cabin voted to have a work
day and see what they could do to
improve their living conditions.
C. Donald Rampley, proctor, was
asked to check with the admini
stration and secure paint from
them with which to paint the lob
by. This was the starting point of
what may make the cabin the nic
est place on the entire campus in
which to live. The boys that live
there think so anyhow and they
are working had to make it just
that.
On Saturday, March 11, all the
fellows that stayed over for the
week-end, began to move the fur
niture out of the lobby and vacate
it for cleaning and then began
to paint. The overhead logs were
painted first, then the walls, and
finally the floor.
All the boys had quite a bit of
paint on them so they decided to
have lunch in the cabin instead
of cleaning up and going to the
dining hall. Max Prince was ap
pointed head cook and what he
did not get for a dollar just could
not be imagined. Although several
fellows had severe pains in the
stomach, none died, and all seem
to have regained their good heal
th which the dining hall food
gives them (?).
The boys who did the work say
that it was a grand experience.
They have a few blisters and sore
muscles, but no serious injuries.
“It is a good way to get to know
the other guys you live with and
have a wonderful day of fellow
ship with each other,” said one of
the boys that worked.
The cabin lobby has a bright
new coat of mahogany varnish
and all the fellows are proud of
it. The cabin has started its
spring cleaning early.
