'Crack Down'
Urged On Thefts
By ALICE PAYNE, ASS T. NEWS EDITOR
A sharp increase in the number of book thefts and of meal ticket
dotations in resulting in a “crack down,” according to Tracy
jtallings, dean of student affairs.
Dean Stallings said that he
was alarmed because at least a
dozen cases of such offenses
have been tried recently. In one
case a student was caught trying
to sell eight or 10 books that he
had “picked up.”
Smart Wins
SAC Spot
The Student Advisory Council
to the Board of Regents met with
Governor Jimmy Carter at the
executive mansion last Wednes
day.
A State Internship program
that was formulated by the
council earlier this year was
given approval for a trial period
this summer. The intern program
will employ approximately 100
students and will provide them
with opportunities to work in
various state departments.
The appointment of a non
voting student representative to
the Board of Regents was also
discussed.
Officers for 1971-1972 were
elected. They are: chairman,
Matt Smith, president SGA,
Georgia State University; vice
chairman, Bill Langley,
representative from the
University of Georgia; and
secretary, Don Smart, president
SGA, West Georgia.
The college book store and
Braves Book Center are
cooperating in an attempt to
curb the rising book thefts. John
Avery, manager of the Braves
Book Center, keeps a list of all
books reported stolen and
checks books that he buys
against it. The Campus
Bookstore also keeps a file of all
the books purchased from
students through which stolen
books may be traced.
Dean Stallings urges students
to report stolen books and warns
of leaving books “lying around”
as an open invitation to theft.
MEAL TICKET
VIOLATIONS
Another problem has been a
rash of meal ticket violations.
There have been cases of
students buying a meal ticket,
claiming to lose it and buying a
duplicate, which they either sell
or give to a friend. Dean
Stallings said that a record was
kept with the number of the
original ticket and the duplicate.
When the number of a
supposedly “lost” meal ticket is
used, it is confiscated and the
student faces possible
disciplinary action.
Some students try to erase
the marks when they go through
the line so they can get another
meal, but Dean Stallings said
that this, too, is being watched.

Folk Group Communicates
'Solution' Through Music
By J. ROSS WILLIS
Students packed the Social
Science auditorium last Thurs
day night at 8 p m. to listen to
the music of the New Folk, a
group performing under the
sponsorship of the Campus
Crusade for Christ International.
The musical team consists of
seven recent college graduates
and college students who play a
combination of popular and
religious music “with the specific
purpose of communicating to
others the solution they have
found as individuals to the
problems confronting their
generation today.”
The four men and three women
combined electric guitar, bass,
and organ with classical guitar, a
trumpet, a trombone and finger
chimes to form a light folk sound.
Their selections ranged from
light-hearted numbers, such as
“The Preacher and the Bear,” to
more serious religious theme
songs, like "I Wish We’d All Been
Ready” and ‘‘God Leads a
Sheltered Life.” They also played
such popular tunes as “Rain
drops”, “Put A Little Love in

Election
Deadline
Extended
The date for student govern
ment elections has been changed
from May 5 to May 11, according
to John Rouselle, SGA elections
chairman, “to allow time for
more candidates to sign up.”
There are 25 positions open and
only 15 students have signed up to
run. Only two posts are being
contested thus far.
‘The reason for this poor
participation is either apathy or
inadequate advertisement of the
elections,” Rouselle said. The
positions open are: for
representatives four in
education division, three in the
math-physics division, three in
the business economics division,
three in the social science
division, two in the humanities
division; all class officer’s
positions; and one for
representative-at-large in the
executive council.
Students already signed up to
run are Barbara Robinson,
Gerald Ward, Sally Peil math
physics division; Buddy Milam,
Steve Roberson business
economics division; Richard
Collier, Richard Trice social
science division; Judy
Redgeway, Sharon Hammond,
Susan Balmeu-humanities

be Free.”
After the performance, which
sometimes took on the charac
teristics of a revival in which
each member stressed “the
importance of Jesus Christ in my
life,” the members remained to
talk and answer questions.
The new route which will
originate at the Carrollton
Recreation Center by Lake
Carroll at 8 a.m., calls for the
march to proceed south on
Stewart Street through downtown
Carrollton and west on Alabama
Street. The procession will then
pass through WGC campus on
Brumbelow. After circling the
Country Club, the walk will pass
Chateau Apartments, Carrollton
High School, and Southwire, then
return to the Recreation Center.
Of the students and residents
expected to “walk,” many will
represent sororities, fraternities,
religious groups and other
organizations from West
Georgia, includeing three
members of the ATO fraternity
who will run the 15 mile course.
The Walk for Mankind is a
fund-raising effort for Project
Concern, an international non
profit program which provides
medical relief for those who lack
medical care, food, shelter, and
job opportunities.
“Concern” operates clinics in
four countries, including the U. S.
