Dean ’s List Names
225 for Fall Qtr.
Two hundred and twenty-five students at West Georgia College
have been named to the Dean’s List for the Fall Quarter just
completed. Full-time students making a grade ratio of 3.5 qualify for
the honor listing. The current group includes:
Vernon L. Adamson,
Whitesburg; John G. Adkisson,
Carrollton; Nancy A. Allen, East
Traffic Survey
List Changes
Campus Needs
No parking on Brumbelow
Street, a 3-phase traffic light at
the intersection of Georgia High
way 166 and Brumbelow Street,
and numerous other improve
ments were included in a recent
study conducted by the Chatta
hoochee-Flint Area Planning and
Development Commission of La-
Grange on the parking needs of
WGC.
The study revealed, in part, that
with the availability of off-street
parking there would be no need
to have on-street parking from
the entrance to Jackson Courts
Apartments to the Perimeter
Road. The study came to the con
clusion that there were a total of
1211 off-street parking spaces
and a total of 563 on-street
spaces.
Another improvement sug
gested is the alteration of re
placement of the two-phase traf
fic-actuated traffic signal at the
intersection of Ga. Highway 166
and Brumbelow Street to a three
phase traffic-actuated signal.
The third phase should be facing
the Front Campus Drive.
PEDESTRIAN LIGHT
A pedestrian actuated traffic
signal including WALK-DON’T
WALK signal heads in front of
the Student Center is still another
improvement suggested by the
study. This traffic signal would
remain green for motorists un
til actuated by a push button.
The perimeter Road, as sug
gested by the survey, should be
studied about one month after the
opening of the road so a traffic
pattern would be set up. It would
be decided whether or not the in
tersection of the Perimeter Road
and Georgia Highway 166 would
need a traffic light. Also the
shrubbery should be cut back so
as to allow the motorists as much
sight distance as possible.
WIDER HIGHWAY
The study recommended that
Highway 166 be widened at the
intersection of 166 and Brumbe
low Streets so as to provide for a
right lane turn when approach
ing from the east and a left turn
lane when approaching from the
West.
The study concluded that the Po
lice Department should, in the
future, have five types of per
mits -one for restricted resi
dent students, for non-residented
students, one for non-resident
students, one for the faculty and
one for staff. At the present time
there are only three types —one
for nonrestricted resident and
nonrestricted students, and one
for faculty and staff.

A QUINTET OF MUSICIANS, ALL BORN AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY and all having an
insight into pre-Dixieland New Orleans jazz will appear here in concert Thursday, Jan. 23, at 8. IS p.m. in
the Health and Physical Education Building at West Georgia College.
They are the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, old-time Negro performers with their roots in the music of
the marching funeral band, the days of Jelly Roll Morton and Bix Beiderbeck, and the early New Orleans
history of Story ville and the French Quarter.
Featuring Billie and DeDe Pierce on piano and trumpet, the group also includes Jim Robinson on the
trombone, or “sliphorn,” William Humphrey, Jr. as clarinetist, and drummer Josiah Cie Frazier, all
musicians who were brought up in the great, warm swinging rhythms of the Delta land.

Behind today’s shiny new wedding
bands lies a wealth of tradition. The
practice of wearing matching wed
ding bands dates back to a thousand
or more years B. C. when it was cus
tomary to exchange betrothal bands
to seal a marriage pledge. The double
ring ceremony itself is English in
origin and has been popular since
Victorian times. Interesting, too. is
the fact that the engagement ring
and the wedding band are worn on
the fourth finger of the left hand
because it was once believed that the
vein of love ran from this finger di
rectly to the heart. Art Carved rings
of course, don't date back to 1000
B. C.. but they have been beloved by
brides and grooms since ISoO.
