Work-study method of job
holder selection questioned
By Elaine Gossett
A group of students at West
Georgia have recently found
themselves without jobs. These
students had been working un
der the Economic Opportunity
Act, which went into effect last
spring quarter.
Mr. Minter, head of financial
aid here at West Georgia, de
termined approximately 19 stu
dents ineligible; the major cause
of ineligibility was that the stu
dents’ parents were not consid
ered to be in the lower income
brackets.
On-campus students under this
act, better known as the Poverty
Program or the Work-Study Pro
gram, number about 125; about 50
students work off campus. Jobs
include tutorial and recreational
programs, local city and county
projects, and various others.

Financial requirements allow a
$3,000 annual income for both
parents plus S6OO for each de
pendent. The program fails to
consider however, those students
who are receiving no aid from
their parents.
According to the act, “A student
is a parent’s responsibility until
his schooling is complete.”
Mr. Minter says that the pro
gram has been set up “without
guidelines specific guidelines.
The biggest area where you could
get misunderstanding is where
students are not receiving sup
port from their families, if the
student is over 21, if the par
ents are separated or divorced,
or in the case of married stu
dents.”
In regard to the requirements
of the program, Mr. Minter says
that he is not “entirely in agree
ment with them.” He added, “It

Anyone wondering what has hap
pened to the Beatles and Rolling
Stones might conclude that they
have moved to the West Georgia
campus. At any rate, several
male students are sportingbangs
and shoulder-length tresses.
Everyone has an opinion on the
appearance of this haircut (or
rather lack of one) either pro or
con, proving that it accomplishes
what many jjeople consider its
purpose, calling attention to the
wearer.
It’s “all right as long as it’s
kept clean, combed, and is not
down over the ears,” says Quill
is understood that several reg
ulations are under revision; this
revision will probably come
through within the month.”
As it stands now, a self-sup
porting student may do better to
go off campus in his search for
work and try to find one of the
few part-time jobs available in
the local area.
As it is impossible to live on
the SIOO-200 a student receives
per quarter for work obtained
through the school, the Work-
Study Program is one of three
possible sources of income. The
others are a local, part-time job,
which is rare, or a student loan,
which must be paid back after
graduation from college.

Dormitory students make up
forty-four percent of the 2,259
enrollment. Students off campus
this quarter total 794 day stu
dents and 470 resident students.
Resident students are those who
live in private homes and off
campus dormitories in Carroll

Linda McKinley, a freshman
from Thomaston, was not so com
plimentary when she said, “I
think they should grow up and get
a haircut.”
Some of the students who gave
their opinions were willingtoac
cept the look in moderation. “It
depends on the contour of the
face and the shape of the head,”
pointed out Chris Roberts, a
freshman from Atlanta.
“I like long hair in front‘Beach

said Barbara Jones, sophomore
from Chatsworth. “I think long
hair makes the boy look too fem

“It’s fine in moderation,” ob
served John Cloud of Mableton,
“but anything over a foot is out.”
Jerry Allonn, a junior from But

don’t like it!” he said.
Perhaps the most profound com
ment was made by Chris Harris,
a junior from Macon, who said,
“Being a biology major and a

Dance received
with enthusiasm
An enthusiastic crowd of ap
proximately 500 was on hand for
the dance last Saturday night, ac
cording to Larry Bowie, leader
of the Buckinghams, the band for
the occasion.
Announcements of the dance
around the campus billed Bowie
as the “White James Brown,”
and his performance Saturday
night proved the nickname an ap
propriate one.
According to participants the
eager response of the audience
at the dance has not been equaled
on this campus in the past year
except by the Maurice Williams
and the Zodiacs performance of
last December.

DR. ROBERT VEITIA
Cuban lawyer
teaches here
By Kathy Jordan
(EDITOR'S NOTE - A large part
of the intellectual stimulation
college is supposed to of
fer comes from the free exchange
of ideas possible between stu
dents and faculty. Freshmen will
find that, unlike the usual case
in high school, their teachers
will accept them as equals. This
communication can be furthered
only if students bother to become
acquainted with their teachers
as people. It is with this in mind
that the WEST GEORGIAN begins
this series of articles on indivi
dual members of the college fac
ulty.)
Forced to leave Cuba, his na
tive country, because of his de
termined stand against Castro,
Dr. Robert A. Veitia is now an as
sistant professor of Spanish here
at West Georgia.
Dr. Veita was born June 7,1927,
in Santa Clara, Cuba, where he
attended grammar and high
school.
He received an AB degree from
the Pre-university of Santa
Clara. At Havana University he
attended the law and social sci
ence schools and graduated with a
Doctor’s degree in law; he lacks
only a few hours of credit for a
PhD in social science.
He practiced law in Cuba for
seven years.
LEFT CUBA
Political turmoil of his native
country and his determined po
sition against Castro then forced
him to move out of Cuba when it
was evident Castro was coming
into power.
On October 1, 1958, he came to
the United States with his wife,
Carmen, and daughter, Maria,
and lived in Cornelia, Georgia,
until September 1960.
CAME TO WEST GEORGIA
In September, 1962, Dr. Veitia
came to West Georgia College as
assistant professor of Spanish.
He reorganized and became spon
sor of the Spanish Club, “El
Circulo Espanol,” and gave a
goal to its members. The mem
bers worked to collect money and
in the summer of 1963 went on a
study trip to Mexico.
He was the guiding force be
hind the organization and acquisi
tion of a language laboratory for
the college valued at more than
SIB,OOO, and the inclusion offor
eign language courses for future
elementary school teachers.
In 1963 Dr. Veitia was Spanish
instructor for adult classes spon
sored by the Adult Education De
partment of West Georgia College
and FLES instructor for the Car
roll County schools.
Dr. Veitia, who will become an
American citizen in December,
has three children, Marie, Julie,
and Gloria.
