Sneak peek
bugs coeds
Recently a prowler has been
terrorizing the coeds of West
Georgia. The first incident which
is known to have taken place oc
curred on Wednesday, Jan. 12,
when a coed leaving the library
was asked if she would like to go
for a ride. At first, believing the
man was a friend, the coed started
to enter the car. But realizing it
was a stranger, she ran to her
dormitory.
The same evening a campus
guard, while checking behind
M-4, (the new dorm for women),
saw the prowler crouching behind
a bush located next to the Ken
nedy Memorial Chapel. The guard
chased the man, who ran across
Maple street, but was unable to
catch him.
At approximately 12:30 p.m.
Wednesday the intruder at
tempted to enter Cobb Dorm
through the front entrance. How
ever, the doors had been locked
for the evening and his attempt
was unsuccessful.
Until Monday, Jan. 17, the
prowler confined his actions to
passing in front of the women's
dormitories blowing his horn.
But, Monday night he was seen
by a coed standing on the fire
escape at Adamson Dorm, peep
ing through a second floor hall
window. Several of the women saw
him as he ran down the fire escape
and in the direction of Row Dorm,
but due to the darkness no one
was able to supply a good de
scription.
Dean Harris stated in an in
terview that due to the incidents
which have occured thus far it
is imperative that precautions be
taken by the women students. She
felt that coeds should travel in
groups after dark and be more
cautious about security measures
in their dorms.
Patterson cites qualities
needed by new governor
The next governor of Georgia should be an aggressive salesman
in the opinion of Eugene Patterson, editor of the “Atlanta Constitu
tion.”
Speaking to an audience of 300 students and faculty here last week,
Patterson laid down this and other criteria for the aspiring guber-
natorial candidate.
NEED LEADERSHIP
Advertising in order to attract
industry requires leadership,
Patterson said. He cited the case
of one major employer which is
seeking to hire a thousand engi
neers:
“They can’t get men to move
here” (from other sections of
the country).
Education and urbanization he
feels will be major campaign is
sues.
“Politics are not yet reoriented
toward urban areas,” Patterson
said. He noted that although most
people live in the city, tax money
is still strongly oriented toward
the farmer.
SHORTCHANGING CHILDREN
The gubernatorial hopeful
should be able to “stop short
changing our children and over

Initial plans have been made for
the part West Georgia is to take
in “Affirmation: Viet Nam.” This
will be an opportunity for West
Georgia students to show their
support of United States policies
in Viet Nam.
On the final day of this proj
ect, Feb. 12, Secretary of State
Dean Rusk will speak at the At
lanta stadium. Rusk, a native of
Cherokee county, Ga., has held
his office since 1961.
Speakers from West Georgia, or
from the “Affirmation: Viet
Nam” speaker’s tour will speak
in Carrollton, Villa Rica, Bre
men, Bowdon, and at West Geor
gia. The purpose of these speech
es is to inform the people about
“Affirmation: Viet Nam.”
A petition will be passed around
in the Carrollton and the West
Georgia area. People will be
asked to sign a negative or
affirmative view concerning Viet
Nam policies.
A motorcade will be organized
to go to the Atlanta stadium.

said.
Money is not the complete an
swer to the education issue, Pat
terson feels: “We can’t assume
that money alone will cure our
school problems.” He cited the
McClurkin report conclusion that
Georgia’s educational system
with the prevailing amount of
money can never provide an ade
quate education.
Another conclusion of the Mc-
Clurkin report, made by the Pea
body school of education, Patter
son pointed to was that large
schools are better than small
schools.
VESTED INTERESTS
“Tough, vested interests op

The chief fault of small schools,
he feels, is their lack of an ade-

Mrs. Marietta Tree, U. S. rep
resentative to the Trusteeship
Council of the U. N., will be on
campus Tuesday, Jan. 25, at eight
o’clock to speak to the student
body on “The United Nations -
Man’s Last Great Hope.”
Brought to West Georgia College
by the Student Government As
sociation, Mrs. Tree was Amer
ica’s first woman ambassador to
the United Nations. She is active
ly concerned with the great issues
of our time and has an intimate,
first-hand knowledge of the U. N.
as well as the world problems
which it faces.
Mrs. Tree has previously
served as U. S. representative to
the Human Rights Commission of
the U. N.
Widely traveled in this country,
Europe, Africa and the Middle
East, Mrs. Tree was recently a
member of the U. N. committee
of twenty-four in East Africa. Her
work in international and national
affairs has brought her into con

litical leaders.
Mrs. Tree was awarded an hon

Patterson added that one of the
favorite arguments of those who
oppose consolidation is the pri
vate school idea. But, the reply
to this, he said, is that private
schools “charge enough to hire
teachers to teach enough cours
es.”
The type governor Patterson de
scribed is no pussyfoot. Tradi
tionally, politicans in this state,
he said, make it a practice to
wait for public demand. He said
he would like for once to see a
governor who would talk to the
public about what is needed rath

BOND CONTROVERSY
Commenting on the recent con

In a question and answer ses
