THE WEST GEORGIAN
Campus Poll
Most Students See Need
For Fraternities Here
By Herman Teel
The sudden outburst of interest in fraternities and
sororities at West Georgia has prompted the West Geor
gian to poll students on the question: Do you think that
fraternities and sororities have a place on the West
Georgia campus?
Bill Higgins: “ I feel that fra
ternities and sororiteis will an
swer a great social need that
we have on this campus. After
the meeting we had on Oct. 2,
I feel that enough student inter
est has been stirring up to con
tinue our investigations. Only as
long as student interest is main
tained can we continue to work
for such organizations.”
Joe Thrash: “Fraternities and
sororities would give this college
more unity and a yeajNMfojyflje
of purpose than any other au
dition to our collegiate life.”
Butch Van Dyke: “Such or
ganizations would tend to be of
a greater asset than a liability
to this college. Therefore, I ap
prove of them. However, I real
ize that it will be a long time
before we have them. ’
Linda Woolbright: “Fraterni
ties and sororities would provide
for a greater feeling of unity
ami purpose which this institu
tion seems to be lacking.”
Judy Campbell: Not only would
sororities and fraternities serve
a social purpose for the entire
campus, it would also benefit the
day students by providing for a
greater sense of ‘belonging’.”
Pat Murphy: “Sororities and
fraternities would tend to en
courage the student to stay on
campus during the weekends. Al
so. it will definitely enhance the
prestige of this institution. An
other advantage of having such
organizations would be their a
bility to compell its members to
maintain a relatively high aca
demic average. The overall ef
fect of these organizations would
Briscoe Serves
As BSU Director
Reverend Eugene Briscoe has
recently been employed by the
Georgia Baptist Convention to
serve as the Baptist Student
Union Director for West Geor
gia College. Mr. Briscoe will al
so serve two other colleges in
the Northwest Georgia Area:
Reinhardt and Southern Techni
cal Institute.
Because of the active B.S.U.
program on the West Georgia
College campus, Mr. Briscoe will
remain on the campus two days
a week. He will be on our
campus on Tuesday and Thurs
day. Part of his responsibilities
include counseling with students
regarding vocational choices,
campus problems, spiritual mat
ters, and personality guidance.
In preparation for this work,
Mr. Briscoe graduated from Bay
lor University in Waco, Texas,
Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary in Louisville, Ken
tucky, and served for three years
as the B.S.U. Director in the
South Georgia Area. In addition
to this, he has also served as
the Pastor of the Emanuel Bap
tist Church in Blackshear, Geor
gia.
Students may arrange confer
ences with Mr. Briscoe by con
tacting Mr. David Griffin, the
faculty advisor for the B.S.U.
or by contacting Mr. Briscoe
directly through his office in the
Baptist Building in Atlanta.

three year old son make their

student and the college.'
Pat Edwards: “Even though
the original purposes of fraterni
ties may be of a positive nature,
the end result would be to create

HAPPINESS CAN’T BUY MONEY
Can education bring happiness?
This is a question that in recent years has caused much
lively debate and several hundred stabbings among American
college professors. Some contend that if a student’s intellect,
is sufficiently aroused, happiness will automatically follow.
Others say tluit to concentrate on the intellect and ignore the
rest of the personality can only lead to misery.
I myself favor the second view, and I offer in evidence the
well-known case of Agatlve Fusco.
Agathe, a forestry major, never got anything less than a
straight “A”, was awarded her B.T. (Bachelor of Trees) m
only two years, her M.S.B. (Master of Sap and Bark) in only
three, and her D.B.C. (Doctor of Blight and Cutworms) in
only four.
Academic glory was hers. Her intellect was the envy o i
every intellect fan on campus. But was slie happy? The
answer, alas, was no. Agathe—she knew not why—was miser
able, so miserable, in fact, that one day while walking across
campus, she was suddenly so overcome with melancholy that,
she flang herself, weeping, upon the statue of the Founder.
By and by a liberal arts major named R. Twinkle Plenty came
by with his yoyo. He noted Agathe’s condition. “ How come
you’re so unhappy, hey?” said R. Twinkle.
“Suppose you tell me, you dumb old liberal arts major, 5
replied Airathe neeviehly.
“All right, I will,” said R. Twinkle. “You are unhappy for
two reasons. First, because you have been so busy stuffing
your intellect that you have gone and starved your psyche. I’ve
got nothing against learning, mind you, but a person oughtn’t
to neglect the pleasant, gentle amenities of life-the fun
things. Have you, for instance, ever been to a dance?”
Agathe shook her head.
“Have you ever watched a sunset? Written a poem? Smoked
a Marlboro Cigarette?”
Agathe shook her head.
“Well,we’ll fix that right now!"said R.Twinkle and gave her
a Marlboro and struck a match.
She puffed, and then for the first time in twelve or fifteen
years, she smiled. “Wow!” she cried. “Marlboros are a fun thing!
What flavor! What filter! What pack or box! What a lot to
like! From now on I will smoke Marlboros, and never have
another unhappy day!”
“Hold!” said R. Twinkle. “Marlboros alone will not solve
your problem—only half of it. Remember I said there wer*
two things making you unhappy?”
‘‘Oh, yeah,” said Agathe. “What’s the other one?’!
“How long have you had that tear trap on your foot? 4 !
said R. Twinkle.
“I stepped on it during a field trip in my freshman year,!
said Agathe. “I keep meaning to have it taken off.”
“Allow me,” said R. Twinkle and removed it.
“tend sakes, what a relief!” said Agathe, now totally happy,
and took R. Twinkle’s hand and led him to a Marlboro vendor's
and then to a justice of the peace.
Today Agathe is a perfectly fulfilled woman, both, intellect
wise and personalitywi.se. She lives in a darling split-level
house with R. Twinkle and their 17 children, and she still keeps
busy in the forestry game. Only last month, in fact, she became
Consultant on Sawdust to the American Butchers Guild, she
was named an Honorary' Sequoia by the park commissioner of
Las Vegas, and she published a best-selling book called / was

greater class differences, thus
losing its original objective. Be
sides it will cost a great deal
of money and I don’t believe
that many students could afford
it.”
Steve Gladden: “They will nev
er exist because West Georgia
is a ‘Suitcase’ school and will
remain so as long as the ad
ministration continues its back
ward policy.”
Sammy Morris: “It is obvious
that W.G.C. is rapidly growing.
I think that the formation of
fraternities and sororities could
be a vital part in the develop
ment of this institution.’
