West Georgia Wins Approval
For Two New Degree Programs
Dr. James E. Boyd, President of West Georgia
College has announced that the Board of Regents has
approved two new majors Psychology and Physics
under the Bachelor of Arts degree program.
At the same time, the regents
endorsed the establishment of
two new courses which are de
signed to qualify Bachelor of
Arts degree graduates for full
certification as secondary teach
ers.
The new programs of study
will be effective September 1,
1963. Still other four-year pro
grams of study are under con
sideration for the near future.
The new additions will give
West Georgia College eight ma
jors under the Bachelor of Arts
degree program. Present major
fields are Biology, Chemistry
English, History, Mathematics,
and Sociology.
The college also offers the
Bachelor of Science degree in
Education, with concentrations
available on both elementary
and junior high levels. With the
new education courses which the
regents have approved, stu
dents who pursue the bachelor of
arts program can become qual
ified to teach with full certifica
tion at the high school level.
Dr. Boyd expressed pleasure
at the regents' action in approv
ing the new academic programs
for West Georgia College. “We
are hoping,” he said, “to add
other degree programs as rap
idly as we can secure necessary
personnel and facilities. We are
doing everything we can to meet
the increasing need for quality
education in this area at this
time.”

NUMBER 8
Miss Elizabeth Parker, regi
strar, said 1,195 persons actual
ly enrolled for classes, and the
figure still may rise or fall
slightly.
This total amounts to a 12 per
cent increase over rhe 1,063 to
tal for the same quarter a year
ago, and a three percent in
crease ever the past Fall Quar
ter By increas ng this quarter
over the Fall Quarter, enroll
ment deviated from the usual
pattern of decreasing with each
quarter of the school year. This
is the second time in recent
years this has happened.
A number of students, a^
usual, did not return from the
Fall Quarter for academic and
other reasons, but these losses
were more than offset by new
students, including transfers
from other colleges.
Much of West Georgia's in
creased enrollment this school
year is due to a buiid-up in the
upper division of the college. As
major programs are added, more
students are remaining for four
years to take a degree.
This trend is expected to ac
celerate in the near future. Dr.
Boyd announced in December
that the Board of Regents had
approved the college’s proposal
for the establishment of two new
majors, in psychology and in
physics, under the Bachelor of
Arts degree program, effective
this coming September.
At the same time, the regents
approved the installation of two
new courses designed to qualify
Bachelor of Arts degree grad
uates for full certification as
secondary school-teachers. Still
other four-year programs are un
der consideration, according to
Dr. Boyd.

Cecil Says:
Dear Mr. Eddider:
I have been hear’in a lot
about the lack of sidewalks to
the new science building. It
has occurred to me that we may
face the same problem with the
upcoming dormitories unless
somebody plans ahead. I am
afraid that we might see some
days when Row Hall will be an
island surrounded by a lake of
mud. Oh well, I always did
want to live on a secluded is
land paradise, anyway.
Somebody once said that know
ledge is no better that the
use to which you put it.
Sincerely,
Cedar Woods Cecil
