its recent meeting, Kitty Griffin was selected as secre

President Higgins officially
presented the goal of the groun

the meeting. It was stated that
these organizations, if estab

campus, academically, morally,
socially and athletically.
Dean of Students, Emory Hol
land. expressed his approval of
the group and its aims. He
stressed the fact that fraternities
and sororities would be very
possible at West Georgia.

the importance of student enthu
siasm in the project. “The suc

of this organization resides
solely in the hands of the stu

stated that West Georgia needs
tradition, which can be found in
fraternal groups which initiate
school spirit.

the group. Jim Boyd will head

ment the regular schedule. By
booking with discretion good en
tertainment may be obtained
within the $3,000 budget. I re
ceived a communique last week
from the Arnold Agency in At
lanta offering us the eighteen
piece Tommy Dorsey Orchestra
for a concert and dance for SSOO.
The Dorsey orchestra will be in
the area during the latter part of
Uovember and early December.
Open dates this late in their sche
dule may be picked up at low
prices. This type of booking can
get entertainment for West Geor
gia that would ordinarly cost
$1,500 or more. We need 1h sc v
cial fee. Support for it has, thus
far been a good indication that
stuudents want it. With the as
sistance of the administration, we
can accomplish this goal.

COMMITTEES:
AN AGONIZING RE-APPRAISAL
To those of you who stay out of your student government
because you believe the committee system is just an excuse
for inaction, let me cite an example to provo that a committee,
projrerly led and directed, can be a great force for good.
List week the Student Council met at the Duluth College
of Veterinary Medicine and Belles to discuss purchasing
anew doormat for the students union. It was, I assure you, a
desperate problem because Sherwin K. Sigafoos, janitor of the
students union, threatened flatly to quit unless anew doormat
was installed immediately. “I’m sick and tired of mopping that
dirty old floor,” said Mr. Sigafoos, sobbing convulsively. (Mr.
Sigafoos, once a jolly outgoing sort, has been crying almost
steadily since the recent death of his pet wart hog who had
been his constant companion for 22 years. Actually, Mr. Sigafoos
is much better off without the wart hog, who tusked him
viciously at least once a day, but a companionship of 22 years
is, I suppose, not lightly relinquished. The college tried to give
Mr. Sigafoos anew wart hog—a frisky little fellow with floppy
ears and a waggly tail—but Mr. Sigafoos only turned his back
and cried the harder.)
But I digress. The Student Council met, discussed the door
mat for eight or ten hours, and then referred it to a committee.
There were some who scoffed then and said nothing would
ever be heard of the doormat again, but they reckoned without
Invictus Millstone.
Invictus Millstone, chairman of the doormat committee,
was a man of action—lithe and lean and keen and, naturally, a
smoker of Marlboro Cigarettes. Why do I say “naturally”?
Because, dear friends, active men and women don’t have time
to brood and bumble about their cigarettes. They need to be
certain. They must have perfect confidence that each time they
light up they will get the same gratifying flavor, the same
Seleetrate filter, the same soft soft-pack, the same flip top
flip-top box. In brief, dear friends, they need to be sure it’s
Marlboro—for if ever a smoke was true and trusty, it’s Marlboro.
Get some soon. Get matches too, because true and trusty
though Marlboros are, your pleasure will be somewhat limited
unless you light them.
Well sir, Invictus Millstone chaired his doormat committee
with such vigor and dispatch that when the Student Council
met only one week later, he was able to rise and deliver the
following recommendations:
1. That the college build new schools of botany, hydraulic
engineering, tropical medicine, Indo-Germanic languages, and
millinery.
2. That the college drop football, put a roof on the stadium,
and turn it into a low-cost housing project for married students.
.3. That the college raise faculty salaries by SSOOO per year
across the board.
4. That the college secede from the United States.
5. That the question of a doormat for the students union
be referred to a subcommittee.
So let us hear no more defeatist talk about the committee
system. It can be made to work! lwa m* st>uima

You don’t need a committee to tell you how good Marlboros
are. You just need yourself, a Marlboro, and a set of taste
buds. Buy some Marlboros soon at your favorite tobacco
counter .
