South's Most Progressive Small College Paper
College Joins Local Alert;
Civil Defense Group Meets
By CELETA ESTES
At two o’clock on the afternoon of November 2, West Georgia College took part
in the city wide civilian defense alert. Falling on the heels of this drill, the college
Council on Civil Defense met to evaluate the alert and discuss provisions for
more adequate and permanent shelters.
The members of this council
include Dr. Holland, moderator;
Mrs. Town ley; Mr. McWhortei;
Dr. Harris; Dr. Covington; Mr.
Jones; Chuck Huffman; and Don
Whitney.
During the drill, all students
walked to appointed areas at the
signal of the school bells; and
stayed there for approximately
thirty minutes.
All the members agreed that
the drill had been a useful con
cern, and had been carried off
in a short length of time with
a mininum of confusion.
The committee went on to dis
| cuss the many complications
which face them in preparing
adequate shelters for more than
a thousand people. Auxiliary
Power units will have to be put
in to use to furnish electric
power. A system will have to be
worked out to readily provide
‘ sand bags or some ether protec
tive measure for windows in the
existing shelter areas. Telephones
should be placed in shelter areas
which do not have them now
Also the big problem of ade
quate food and water for these
areas was discussed.
Since expert consultation is es
sential in this matter, Dr. Hol
land suggested that the commit
tee wait until present facilities
can be thoroughly studied be
fore taking further action. He al
so said that he would contact of
ficials at the University of Geor
gia in order to learn how their
shelters are set up and stocked.

NUMBER 5
The motion which was ap
proved by the governing body,
provided for members of the
cabinet to be appointed by the
president. Each member will
represent various aspects of
campus life such as student opin
ion, community relations, etc.
Student Government members
expressed feelings indicating the
effectiveness of the new cabinet
in alleviating the compleitv of
too many committees and in
providing more expediency in
dealing with projects.
In other action, the Student
Government approved an am
mendment lo the constitution re
garding the petitions of students
seeking class positions. The sec
tion, as ammended, now reads:
“Candidates for class office must
submit a petition containing
twenty original signatures ol his

signatures are found to bo in
valid, the candidate will have
twelve hours to obtain valid
signatures.”
Regarding the social fee, the
association felt that some clar
ification of the petition now cir
culating to obtain student opin
ion, was necessary. It was de
cided to inform the students of
