Added Traffic Authorities
Provide Better Enforcement
By DOYLE SHAW
In recent weeks, West Georgia College has exoer
fenced a marked improvement in law enforcement. Two
campus traffic authorities have been enlisted to provide
this service.
Mr. W. H. Smith, a senior
majoring in English from Mon
ticello, Georgia; and Mr. bob
Cedar Woods
Cecil Says:
Dear Mr. Edidder:
It seems to me that if the
students was to get charged
$2.00 for parking in the faculty
parking spaces, then maybe the
faculty ought to get charged at
least SI.OO for parking in the
student’s places.
You know that Nathan, he’s
the night watchman, is really
a fair minded sorta guy. He
says that students and faculty
ought to get the same treat
ment when they break the laws.
Editor Cohen claims that he’s a
fair minded guy too. He didn’t
have too much to say when he
got a ticket for parking his
bicycle in the doorway of the
Ad Building.
Somebody told me that nobody
was goin’ to build a saidwalk
to the new science building un
til w r e see where all the people
is walkin. AH I got to say is
maybe, if this is true, we bet
ter all walk in the same place.
On the other hand, if this ain’t
true, maybe we need to take
up a money collection to sorta
help the state out. Ma and Pa
ain’t got much, but I would be
willin’ to give up my SIOO a
week allowance to see the side
walk paved.
It seems to me that I re
member somebody once sayin’
that the more you know about
human beins, the less you'll
brag about bein’ one.
Sincerely,
Cedar Woods Cecil

By SUSAN WATTS
Eugene Patterson, Editor of the Atlanta Constitu
tion, was guest speaker at the first Canterbury Club
meeting of the year, held last Wednesday at the Can
terbury House. His was the first in a series of speeches
covering the broad topic of ’’The Student s Role in a
World of Revolution.”
Describing his recent travels in
Europe, Mr. Patterson placed
special emphasis on the United
States defense mechanisms
abroad. He also compared the
times when he was in school,
during World War 11, problems
faced by college students. One
point Mr. Patterson especially
emphasized w-as that even though
the international revolution is
cf great importance, the main
challenge of todays students is
to meet problems arising in his
immediate area. He further add
ed that “to meet these prob

Scholarship Drive Cone I tides:
Awareness of Need Stressed
By JAMES FLOWERS
Funds in excess of $‘67,000 have been made avail
able to the students of West Georgia College to be used
for student loans and scholarships.
This is the result of a gen
eral scholarship-loan fundraising
drive conducted through the
summer months. Of the total
amount, $55,000 of which $45,500
is Federal money, will be used
for student loans; and the re
maining $12,500 plus will he used
to aid worthy students in the
form of scholarships.
The drive, organized by the
Carrollton Chamber of Com
merce, set as its goal $20,000,
the college set aside $5,500 for
the National Defense Loan pro
gram. Through the National De
fense Loan program, the federal
government will match, on a
nine to one ratio, every dollar
that the college can raise up to
$5,500; but no state tax money
may be used in this matching
fund. In other words, the federal
government provides nine-tenths
of the total made available and
the college raises one-tenth
from private sources. In this
way the money is not an out
right gift, and the college must
show the initiative and the de
sire for the funds by raising
a percentage itself.
The fund drive was organized
and executed by the Carrollton
Chamber of Commerce with Mr.
Hugh W. Richards, a local bus
inessman, as chairman and with
his son, Mr. Thomas T. Rich
ards, assisting. Dr. James E.
Boyd, President of West Geor
gia College, represented the col
lege; along with local business
leaders, he worked many long
hours to reach the $20,000 goal.
When Dr. Boyd was asked
whether the drive had reached
its goal, he replied that SIB,OOO
had been raised so far; and he
said that upon completion of the

Circle K Opens
Safety Campaign
As part of its “expansion of
service” program for this year,
the Circle K Club will conduct
a major campaign for traffic
safety during October. The cam
paign was prompted by the new
paving, removal of speedbreak
ers and the new safety regula
tions for campus driving.
The club plans to utilize the
effective poster campaign it con
ducted last year plus new ad
ditional material. Plans are be
ing made to bring safety ex
perts to our campus to present
safety discussions.
The highlight of the campaign
will be when each student and
faculty member will be asked
to sign a pledge to observe
traffic rules.
drive he anticipates the total
amount to be in excess of SIB,OOO
and somewhere near, if not over,
the $20,000 goal. The major por
tions of the funds have been con
tributed by local residents and
business firms.
The funds raised fall into two
categories: (1) General Scho*ar
ship-Loan funds and (2) Sp .cial
funds. The General funds are
amounts given by individuals and
business firms that are des
ignated for no special purpose
except scholarships and student
loans. The first $5,500 in this
category is to be used for the
matching fund and the remain
der will be used for scholarships.
The money in the Special funds
is used for scholarships to stu-
