6 Holiday on Ice 9 Sets
Campus Theme Monday
As Classes Take Recess
DWIGHT CAMPBELL
“Call tomorrow off!” This week it happened. Monday was called
off, that is, classes on campus were cancelled. A Holiday on Ice for all
was the order of the day.
Due to the ice and snow on the
roads this past weekend, George
W. Walker, Dean of Academic
Affairs, made the decision to
cancel Monday classes. The
decision was made Sunday noon
after Dean Walker consulted with
the weather bureau and discussed
the matter with Dr. James E.
Boyd. President of the College.
T-V - RADIO NOTIFIED
To quickly answer the influx
of telephone calls coming into
campus by students, Tracy P.
Stallings, director of public
relations, notified West Georgia
area and Atlanta radio stations.
The three major TV stations in
Atlanta were also notified of
cancellation of Monday classes.
West Georgia College has a code
with these stations to deter
pranksters from calling in false
reports.
FENDER BENDERS
COLO SHOWERS
Fortunately, there were no
serious accidents involving West
Georgia students during the icy
by the computer center. The card
will contain approximately 25
questions about the instructor
and his course.
During the week of March 3-6,
individual faculty members will
be given an opportunity to study
the questionnaire and decide to
what extent they wish to
participate in the evaluation.
Faculty members will have
three choices: (1) 100 percent
participation, i.e., allowing the
questionnaire to be administered
to their classes during regularly
scheduled class periods and
allowing publication of the
results; (2) partial participation,
i.e. questionnaire can be
administered to their classes but
the results will be released only to
the faculty members involved;
and (3) no participation at all in
the project.
Tentative dates for
administering of the
questionnaire have been set for
March 13 and 14.
Students will complete the
questionnaire while the
instructor is absent from the
room and will not be required to
sign their names.
After tabulation by the
computer center, final results of
the questionnaire will be
published and will be made
available to students and faculty
at a nominal charge.

days. But there were three minor
wrecks on campus.
Two accidents were caused by
identical reasons. On Front
Campus Dr., in two separate
“fender benders,” persons who
failed to clear ice from the back
window of their cars backed into
cars parked illegally on the yellow
curb. There was one crack-up on
Back Campus Dr. A car traveling
too fast for road conditions did
into a parked auto.
Damage to campus property
was very minor. A few windows
were broken due to stray snow
balls flying around, and on the
front porch of Cobb Hall the
wind blew down a chandelier.
Already on the blink, a hot
water heater in Mandeville Hall
broke down this past icy
weekend. It was a cold shave and
showers for the girls.
SALT
Since the ice and snow came
on the weekend, the grounds
people were at home. The campus
police called Mr. Driver of
Landscaping and Grounds. Mr.
Driver and six of his men, who
were on stand by in their homes,
came to campus and scattered salt
on walk ways and roads so
students could safely get about.
