DR. GOODRICH WHITE
The West Georgia College au
thorities were offered to submit
information to the Board of Re
gents of the merits of the propos
ed building, concerning all the
uses to which it will be put. The
regents ordered that the authri
ties give further information con
cerning furniture, equipment, es
timates of cost, and general facts
about the proposed building which
would show that the building does
not duplicate existing facilities
on the campus.
The faculty committee for the
new building includes President
I. S. Ingram, Paul Petersen, Brooks
Pittman, Leven Hazelgrove, Hugh
Wallace, and Dean W. H. Row.
President Ingram stated that
West Georgia College had long had
need of this building, and he is
doing everything possible to expe
dite construction. He has obtained
permission from the chancellor to
use college funds, which will be
repaid, to speed up the drawing
of preliminary architect’s plans.
The president pointed out that
"West Georgia has a large day
student group, and the proposed
building will be designed to facili
tate them. On the ground floor
it is proposed to have lounges,
rest rooms, a store, and lockers
for day students; also on this floor
would be offices for student orga
nizations, such as the college news
paper, the yearbook, and the stu
dent council.
This building, when erected, will
be on the site of the present burn
ed building, formerly the old din
ing hall.
Mr. Ingram has said that the
addition of this building will com
plete the number of units needed
on the campus at this time. He
stated that it was the dream of a
lifetime about to be realized.
