Forty-one New Faculty to Arrive This Fall
West Georgia College will have
not only the largest but the best
qualified faculty in the history of
the institution when school begins
in September, according to Dr.
George W. Walker, dean of the
college.
Forty-one additional faculty po
sitions have been authorized for
the college by the Board of Re
gents of the University System of
Georgia. This will give the col
lege a total of approximately 165
faculty members excluding per
sonnel in the Computer Center,
the Library, adult education, and
academic and other administra
tive positions.
40 PER CENT DOCTORS
Equally important, according to
Dean Walker, is the fact that the
percentage of the faculty holding
the doctor’s degree will probably
go well beyond 40 percent. Many
of the new additions hold the doc
torate, and several present fac
ulty members will have achieved
it by this fall.
One faculty member, Dice An
derson, is retiring. Fourteen oth
ers will be on leave doing grad
uate work during the coming year.
Not returning will be three who
were on temporary appointments,
and 12 others who will be doing
advanced graduate work or who
have accepted other positions.

Lightning Harm
To HPE Heavy
A bolt of lightning played havoc
last Saturday with the HPE Build
ing and Gunn Hall when it struck
and destroyed an electrical
transformer which supplies elec
tricity to both buildings.
The disrupt ion of electrical ser
vice forced women residents of
Gunn Hall to move to Cobb Hall.
Classes formerly held in the HPE
have moved to make-shift loca
tions mother academic buildings.
No official estimate could be
given as to when the power could
be restored but engineers are
trying to repair the damage to
permit use of the HPE and Gunn
Hall during the Fall Quarter.
The task is complicated by the
extensive destruction to the Col
lege’s network of underground
electrical lines.
Chorus Finishes
West Georgia’s summer choir
has been busy giving perform
ances in the immediate West
Georgia area and in getting ready
for their final presentation at
graduation at the end of summer
quarter.
Its 11 members, under the di
rection of Prof. William D. De-
Jong, have sung in a program at
the Adult Education Banquet, July
21, for the July 25 BSU meet
ing, and in last Sunday's worship
service of the Temple First
Methodist Church.

the witch by Colleen Shew. The production Is
directed by Nelson M. Carpenter. Costumes were
made by Mrs. Lemuel Norrell and Mrs. Donald
Gehring.
Renovations , Shifts
Begin as Fall Nears
Sidewalk superintendents craned their necks en masse earlier this
quarter as preliminary work began on the renovation of West Geor
gia’s sixty-year-old Administration Building.
The Hudgins demolition company
of Atlanta removed the four mo
nolithic white columns from the
front of the building in order to
make the tradition-fraught edi
fice safe once again for its occu
pants.
The Administration Building fa
cade had been cordoned off last
quarter because of danger from
the ancient columns, but since the
demolition of the porch area the
old building now enjoys a strange
ly truncated new look.
RECONSTRUCTION
Total renovation of the Admin
istration Building is still approx
imately a year in the future, ac
cording to Robert Townley, as
sistant director of the physical
plant. Plans call for reconstruct
ing the facade, turning several of
the present classrooms into fac
ulty offices, and other major in
terior and exterior remodeling.
This updating of the building is
expected to cost approximately
$250,000. In addition, immediate
changes in the building include
conversion of the present busi
ness office into a general class
room and relocation of the busi
ness office to the second floor.
Changes will also take place in
two other buildings on campus,

Hamm Hall and Mandeville Hall.
The Hamm Building, used by the
music department, is being given
a total facelifting which will in
clude air conditioning, carpeted
and soundproofed practice
rooms, three teaching studios,
and a refurbished exterior.
Mandeville Hall will be returned
to its capacity as a women’s dor
mitory next fall as social science
offices are moved back into the
Administration Building. When
the Academic Complex is ready,
history, political science, and
business offices will find a per
manent home in the Social Science
Building, now under construction.
NEW ROAD
Construction will begin, proba
bly during late fall or early win
ter, on a perimeter road which
will completely encircle West
Georgia’s campus. The four lane
highway will cover the present
campus as well as the area to be
taken up by new academic build
ings to the west of Pritchard Hall.
West Georgia’s new road system
will contain large parking spaces,
one of which can accommodate
over 1000 automobiles, and will
be within easy walking distance of
all present and future classrooms
and residence halls.
