Senate Elections Set;
Amendment Approved
The West Georgia SGA has been holding, planning, and scheduling
several types of elections during the past week.
First, a vote of 95 percent
“yes” in Tuesday’s "election”

change in article IV, Section (B),
(2), of the Student Government
Association Constitution.
The result will be to cut the size
of the senate.
The proposed amendment was:
“The Senate should be composed
of the vice-presidents of the
classes, representatives from the
divisions of the college and the
graduate school, ex officio
members, temporary senators,
and the vice president of the SGA
who shall act as chairman.”
Although only 120 students
voted, Don Smart, president of
SGA, said he was not surprised at

the small turnout. He said that he
felt it was a very important
election because it “gave the
foundation for a more effective
Senate that could contribute
something useful to SGA’s
structure and to the need of the
student body.”
ELECTIONS
In other SGA action, elections
for senate positions and class
offices will be held May 4 from 9
am. to 6 p.m. in the Student
Center, according to election
chairman, John Rouselle.

division, math-science division,
and business-economic division,
and two openings in the
humanities division, and four
representatives in the education
division, and one representative
at-large.
Rousselle commented on the
election by saying, “The only
way to keep from having another
year in SGA like this one is to
have good people in the Senate.”
LAST DAY
The last day to sign up to run
for an office is April 28, in order
to guarantee that the candidate’s
name be placed on the ballot.
Those interested in signing up for
an office should submit a written

Fox Fights Air Pollution
With Sampling Station
BY DAVID BROWN
Staff Writer
A high volume air sampler has
been installed on the roof of the
Biology' building by Dr. Cecil H.
Fox, associate professor of
biology. The instrument is on
loan to the League of Women
Voters from the Air Pollution
Control Center of the State Health
Department.
According to Dr. Fox the
sampler monitors the amount of
pollution in the air by collecting
“particulate” from the air on a
screen. The “particulate” can
then be weighed on an analytical
balance to ascertain the degree to
which the air is polluted.
When the device is in full
operation, the daily results will
be announced by WLBB in order
to inform local residents of the
extent of pollution in this area.
“Most people in Carrollton
seem to be ignorant of the fact
that there is a pollution problem
here, and that it will get worse,”
Dr. Fox said. “The number one
air polluter right now is the
automobile because of the high
traffic density in many parts of
Carrollton.”
Another function of the sam
pling station, according to Dr.
Fox, is to provide background
information for Atlanta. He said
that Atlanta is a “pollution sink,”
and the station would help to
show the patterns of pollution
Presidental Search
Adds Pafford To List
The search for anew president of West Georgia College continues
with the addition of Dr. Ward Pafford, vice-president of Valdosta
State College, to the list of possibilities for the position. Dr. Pafford

Dr. Doyle L. Mathis,
vice-chairman of the advisory
committee that was requested

However, the sampling project
has already experienced some
difficulty in beginning full scale
operation. The main problems
are a lack of funds and personnel.
“The apathy is amazing,” Dr.
Fox said. “Many claim to be
