WGC Campus is Safe
Even in World ’ s End

Mama Cass sings, . . They say the fault line runs right through
here ...” She is lamenting the San Andreas fault line which ge
ologists predict will bring the doom of the western United States
coastline.
Fortunately, West Georgia Col
lege students are among the
safest in the world -in the in
stance of drastic natural disas
ters - according to the pro
nouncements of Edgar Cayce who
told of the San Andreas fault in
the 1930’5. Ten years later it was
discovered by geologists who
described it as the master fault
of a network opening the under
ground western coast.
BRAIN LINK
The late Cayce gained this in
formation in a way roughly re
sembling Star Trek’s Mr. Spock’s
Vulcan power of brain link. When
Cayce was asked what power
spoke through him in his sleep
like trances, he replied, ”... the
universal cosmos.” (More reli
able than Jeane Dixon’s oracle.)
HOLOCAUSTS
Cayce foresaw that holocausts
and natural disasters will rack
the world with total devastation.
The earth will be remade, except
for portions of the eastern coast
line, including Cayce’s home,
Alaska, Florida (which will be
come an island), the Rocky Moun
tain area, and the southeastern
midlands. “Northern Europe will
be gone in the twinkling of an
eye,” he said.
With the submersion of thema
jor part of the earth’s crust, the
lengendary Atlantis will rise out
of the Atlantic Ocean. The last

where the more solid skin of the
earth may slide over its inner
part, as though the skin of a
grapefruit were to slide over its
pulp.
UNMATCHED VIOLENCE
This cycle of natural disasters
seen by Cayce will begin in 1968
and ’69 signalled by two eruptions
of Mount Etna. The first one oc
curred in 1960 and was described
by the Seismological Society of
America as erupting “with a vio
lence unmatched in modern
times.”
Since the eruption, Turkey and
Iran have had massive earth
quakes. In the hardest - hit
villages, two-thirds of the popu
lation was wiped out.
And since then, there have been
floods in England, a re-occurance
of quakes in Iran, and the New
York Harbor has been steadily
rising. Most important, this
month North America was shaken
by the most violent earth tremors
in ten years. The tremors cen
tered in the mid-west, originating
in the Mississippi River valley.
Cayce has predicted that in the
future the St. Lawrence River
would empty into the Gulf of Mex
ico which would stretch through
the Mid-west.

That’s the way it appears.
THE WEST GEORGIAN
By SHARON GRIMES
The Alpha Theta Fine Arts De
partment Production of “Look
Back in Anger”, directed by Nel
son M. Carpenter was presented
December 1 and 2 in the College
Auditorium.
BOWIE MASTERS ROLE
Larry Bowie, in the leading role,
is the center of the conflict, as he
constantly badgers his wife, his
friends, the world into thinking,
even just a small thought. On the
intellectual level, Jimmy Porter
is a harsh cold harasser who is
bitter in his failure to reach hu
manity.
Yet, the gentle love and under
standing that he has stored in
side and is searching to find an
outlet for is subtly revealed in
various scenes throughout the
play. This transition of the char
acter, Jimmy Ported, which is the
thread of the play, in the hands of
someone less talented than Bo
wie, would have caused a harse
incoherency in the play. However,
as always, Bowie masters the
role with remarkable skill.
DANEISE PROVIDES
CONTRAST
Daneise Hubert, as Alison Por
ter, sustains her role as a con
fused girl, seeking a lost cause
to believe in, yet calmly holding
on to the world with which she
identifies, is a beautiful contrast
to the incomprehensible ram
pages of her husband.
Cliff Lewis, a buffer no-man’s
land for the two, is a beautiful
study in character and Larry Til
ley adds to this study. He offers
an amusing note to an otherwise
solemn and hopeless situation.
SUSAN A SYMBOL
Helen Charles, played by Susan
Wroble, is a symbol of the staunch
society from which they are all
trying to escape. Susan loses the
effect of many of her lines through
rushing her delivery, but overall
she adeptly portrays the weak
ness and pseudo-saintliness of
her character.
Lee Howell, not very effective
as a British colonel, somewhat
underplays his role and his true
acting abilities are not fully uti
lized in this role.

SIX GENTLEMEN AND TWO YOUNG LADIES prepare for
their mineralogy field trip to Habersham and White counties in
Northeastern Georgia as a result of a touch of “gold fever.”
Is There Gold in
Them Thar Hills?
Is there gold in them thar hills? Some West Georgia College ge
ology students think so after returning from a mineralogy field trip
to Habersham and White Counties in the northeastern section of the
state.
The students caught a touch of
“gold fever' as they panned for
the precious yellow metal in
mountain streams near Unicoi
State Park and the site of Geor
gia’s first gold discovery.
“Some of them sat panning in the
middle of the stream in one of the
heaviest rain storms that I have
ever seen, with water literally
pouring over the brims of their
hats. The others, too wet to work,
but too curious to leave, simply
stood in the rain and watched,”
said Roger S. Austin, assistant
professor of geology.
The purpose of the trip, Austin
stated, was to study various min
erals in the area and to examine
geological structures, rocks, and
active processes in geology.
PICKS AND SHOVELS
At another site, the students
worked with picks and shovels to
recover rubies scattered
throughout the weathered rock.
Most were able to collect several
deep red specimens, a few of
which may be, upon close exam
ination, of gem quality.
Also found were specimens of
kyanite, rutile, quartz crystals,
mica, chromite, fuchsite, and
garnet.
Students participating in the
three day field trip included Jim
Hamilton, Ball Ground; Martin
Coggins, Elberton; Harold

Dailey, Roopville; Don Hunter,
Marietta; Mary Rainey, Atlanta;
Ben Brewer, Griffin; and Ron
