WGC Offers Traffic Jams,
Horny T ree T o Brighten Life
It has been said that the trouble with people today is that they side of the road, your Alabama
don’t take time to notice what’s around them. Interesting things State trooper,
happen around us all the time. You can’t help but have
For instance, have you
noticed that at noon every day
the campus police direct traffic
at the light? They take upon
themselves the grueling task of
telling people to go when the
light is green, and to stop when
it is red. Meanwhile the traffic
jam in front of the Student
Center thickens.
You may have also noticed
the speed breaker at the exit of
the new parking lot across from
the gym. Unfortunately, it is so
high that it breaks other things
besides speed, like A-frames and
drive shafts. And then for
laughs, nearly invisible wires
have been strung around newly
seeded areas. You may not have
noticed the wires (they’re
nearly invisible) but you’ve
probably noticed the prostrate
bodies lying all over campus.
NATIONAL FOREST
If you’ve been through
middle campus lately, I know
you’ve noticed the horny tree.
The horny tree can be
distinguished from surrounding
trees by its unsightly exterior.
The tree is not sick, nor
suffering from some disease, it
has just been worn smooth by
years of foot propping. This
would indicate that its bark is
worse than its blight.
Did you know that West
Georgia has a chestnut tree? It
doesn’t have a blacksmith under
it, but if you would like to
notice it next time you’re
walking around campus noticing,
it is the one at the end of the
Education building. It can be
further distinguished by its burs,
the most notable of which are
Raymond and Aaron.

town burned down, thereby
getting rid of a lot of ugly

Senior Offers Profound
Musings on Food , Parking
Asa student who will soon be transversing from West Georgia, I
would like to say a farewell to some of my favorite aspects of the
campus.
Fist of all, it has come to my
intention that mush disprte is
being tossed up about the ram
thing in front of the student
sinner. It is my opium that the
arrangement of shruggery should
be done discretely, only by
those who arrange planets as
their profusion. The funnel
arrangement should be
beautimous as well as prodigal.
Nest, I would like to
extrapolate on the parking
situation. I predicate that in the
newer future there will be amble
facilities for automobiles. And
even if pablums should arid, I’m
sure the administration would be
capable to scope with enemy
situated.
FUGUES AND FEUDS
Many have compounded
about the fool, so I will give my
fugues on this suspect.
THE WEST GEORGIAN
noticed how conceited Joe the
dog has gotten since he entered
graduate school. When he was
working on his undergraduate
degree, he was just one of the
guys. Asa matter of fact, he
used to hound us to take him
with us to the Greasy Spoon. He
even went to the extent of
wearing “Take me along”
stickers. Now whenever I see
him on campus he doesn’t even
wave, let alone speak. Give a guy
a diploma, and he thinks he’s
top dog.
Unappetizing food, naturally
would be hard for anybody to
swaddle. But I don’t believe our
feud is that bid. I’m syrup that it
has all the necessary vitelines as
well as propane and carburetors
for energy.
I suppose I will really mist
this collie and all it has stud for.
In confusion, I would say that it
is trully a find installation of
leaning. The students are
fiendly, blight and intellect.
They will certainly become
grape letters of tomorrow.
Letter to Editor
Sophomores
Use Dues for
Homecoming
Sophomores,
Last quarter, due to the fact
that our Rat Auction, which was
to be a vital source of income
for the sophomore class, was
cancelled, we decided to charge
SI.OO for sophomore dues.
These dues were collected on
Monday during registration, and
we are happy to say that we
collected approximately
$300.00. These funds will be
used to build a float which we
will enter in the Homecoming
parade Jan. 25. Any money left
over from this will be used for
other class projects later in the
year or used by our junior class
next year.
The Homecoming float is
now in the planning stage, and
we ask that anyone wishing to
help sign up in the Student
Government office anytime
during the day. We need all the
help we can get, as we have only
two weeks to finish it. We would
like to thank those who have
already paid and ask that anyone
who hasn’t paid send their dollar
in a sealed envelope to
Sophomore Class, Box 8, West
Georgia College. We again urge
you to support your class.

Efficiency
Registration appeared to move the swiftest and smoothest that it
ever has. Some of this improvement was probably due to the fact
that most students registering this quarter have now been through
the procedure at least once before. However, the greatest
contributing factor appeared to be changes in the registration
procedures.
Rerouting of the lines in the HPE Building facilitated the
movement of the lines and decreased congestion. The system of
paying fees which was first used last quarter eliminated some of the
long lines and saved both the students and the registration workers
valuable time. Issuing meal tickets in the HPE Building instead of in
the auditorium saved the students the bother of making another trip
across campus.
Registration procedures are still not as simple and organized as
they could be. Some upperclassmen still receive late time cards due
to the random method in which the cards are issued. Students must
still stand in inclement weather awaiting admittance and in long lines
once they enter the building. Perhaps some form of pre-registration
would alleviate some of these problems. However, registration
procedures were still greatly improved over those of previous
quarters.
Spirit
West Georgia College students are to be commended for the great
school spirit that they have shown at last quarter’s basketball games
and pep rally. The student turnout at each of these events has been
extraordinary. Everyone has cheered to the limit of his lung capacity
and shown that he really cares about this college and its basketball
team.
The antics of the sororities and fraternities and the friendly
rivalry between them have added a great deal to the excitement of
the games. The cheerleaders have done an excellent job of
encouraging everyone to yell. Hopefully, this show of spirit will
continue throughout the basketball season.
Such a show of school spirit should not be limited to basketball
season. It should be channeled to other activities, such as clubs and
service projects. This could be the spark that turns West Georgia into
a college that cares.
