PAGE TWO 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.

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.

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, HORTON’S GIFT SHOP Get the summer off to just the right start by selecting the correct gift from Horton’s West Georgia students always welcome ADAMSON SQUARE CARROLLTON, GA.
