South's Most Progressive Small College Paper
Dr. James E. Boyd, president of West Georgia Coll
ege, announced last week that advertising for bids has
begun, on the two new dormitories, one for men and
one for women. Each structure will house 120, making
a total of 240 new spaces available.
After three weeks of statewide
advertising, bids will be opened
and the contract awarded on
February 26 in the office of
the University System Building
Authority in Atlanta. Actual con
struction will begin a few days
later.
Total cost of the project, which
is being financed by the Uni
versity System Building Auth
ority through the U. S. Com
munity Facilities Administration
on a self-liquidating basis, is
$792,000.
Construction f.s expected to
take about a year and a half.
The contract will be awarded on
a lump-sum basis that is,
one contract for both dormitor
ies. This means, it was explain
ed, that it will take longer to
complete the project, but that by
using one contractor for both
buildings, the cost will be less.
Both buildings are expected to
be completed by August, 1964, in
time for the 1964-65 school year
and the heavy influx of students
expected at that time.
Nearing completion now on the
West Georgia College campus
is massive Row Hall, a 180-
capacity men’s dormitory built
under the same arrangement as
the new project.
The new men’s dormitory will
be located beyond and to the
right of Aycock Hall on the back
campus. With Aycock and Row
Hall, the new facility will form
a three-dormitory complex in
that area for men students.
The women’s dormitory will be
located on the front campus
drive between Melson Hall and
Gunn House. Last September the
president’s home was moved to
the west end of the campus to
make room for the new wom

Dear Mr. Eddider:
Once upon a time there exist

its progressive attitude.

active by some. This coach, El
