Julian Bond Will Speak
On Campus Wed. Night
Bond will be here as a guest of the Students For Practical Political
Idealism, anew liberal organization on campus. Earlier in the evening,
a dinner will be held in Mr. Bond’s honor with members of S. P. R. I.
and invited faculty attending.
This is to be the first of several
speakers that the S. P. P. I. plans
to sponsor in an effort to inspire
thought among the student body.
Julian Bond is one of the most
controversial leaders in the state
of Georgia. He was the first Negro
to become a member of the
House of Representatives since
the Reconstruction and was
ousted from his seat for his views
on draft card burning. Bond was
one of the first prominent leaders
to speak out against the draft and
Room and Board Rates Rise
Due to Increased Expenses
BY KENT WALTON
Certain selected increases in charges for housing and meal
tickets at West Georgia College were recently approved by the
Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia.
According to Mr. Ted Hirsch, Chief Business Officer, the
Board found that all costsentering into construction, labor, and
raw materials had risen to a point where it would be impossible
to balance expenses against income without an increase. The last
time these charges were increased was in 1967 from $75 (room
fee) to S9O (room fee).
The new room and board rates shown below will become
effective with the beginning of Summer Quarter, 1969.
3-to-Room Increase 2- to-Room Increase
Air Cond. w/3 meal ticket $250.00 $30.00 $270.00 $50.00
Not Air Cond. w/3 meal ticket $240.00 $20.00 $260.00 $40.00
Air Cond w/Lunch. Dinner $210.00 $30.00 $230.00 $30.00
Not Air Cond w/Lunch, Dinner $200.00 0.00 $220.00 $20.00

With the completion of Project V-11, there will be four air
conditioned dormitories on campus: Boykin, Pritchard, Cobb,
and V-11.
All Freshmen will still be required to live on campus,
excepting day students, and will still be required too have a 3
meal ticket. For other students desiring to purchase meal tickets
only, the price has been increased on the 3 meal ticket from
$l3O per quarter to $l5O per quarter.
Tuition costs will remain the same except for out-of-state
residents taking less than 12 hours. Students in this classification
will have to add $9.00 per quarter hour for each hour less than
12 hours.

Last summer Bond was made
head of the Georgia Democratic
Forum Delegation, commonly
called the Bond Delegation, and
was successful in getting seated at
the Democratic National
Convention. He was even a
nominee for Vice President, but
was turned down because of his
age.
Julian Bond will be one of the
most interesting speakers to
appear on campus this year.

When Rivers
Arrives Late
MALCOLM STOREY
The gym was full and people
were sitting in the aisles; the
atmosphere was exciting. The
warm-up band, the Rock Garden,
tried to evoke some spirit but the
crows already had had their
spirits and were also already
warmed up.
A wispy smiling fellow came
onto the stage with a Gibson flat
top in his hand. He delightfully
played several of his own
compositions, but the shouts for
“soul” and “Johnny” along with
a few thrown pieces of ice, coke
cups, and a flash bulb and the
general tumult were too much
for singer-writer Bobby Ray.
There was an intermission
after this rowdy display so that
Johnny Rivers and his group
could set up their equipment.
They were late because of some
poor directions to Carrollton.

410 Donors Break’6B
Blood Drive Record
By JIMMY DRAKE
“I’ve never seen anything like it. There must be at least a hundred of
them standing there in line waiting to get in.”
These words echoed
throughout the lobby of the West
Georgia Student Center all last
Thursday, as 410 students gave
361 pints of blood to the annual
Red Cross Blood Drive.
IMPROVEMENT OVER ’6B
Each year, the college's
students form one of the largest
groups of blood donors in the
West Georgia area. In 1968 West
Georgia’s contribution of 256
pints of blood placed it highest
among the colleges and
universities in the state for
percentage of students giving
blood.
“Also, due to this, Carroll
County was able to reach its
assigned quota of blood set by the
Red Cross,” said Gordon
Bradwell, of the West Georgia
office of public relations.
This year’s campus drive was a
special project of the Circle K
