Public Spirits Are
Banned By 'Brave 1
Effective July 1, any student at least 18 years of age may purchase,
possess, and consume alcoholic beverages within the state of Georgia.
While the current student
handbook, The Brave, is
misleading, according to reports
which have reached Charles
Smith, the Director of Housing, it
does point out to the students
applicable that the possession,
drinking and transportation of
alcohol is discouraged on cam
pus, but, it is not prohibited.
Students should note that
alcohol is to be confined to
private living quarters,
specifically dormitory rooms,
and will not be tolerated in public
areas, such as dormitory
lounges, recreation rooms, the
student center, or public baths.
Students transporting alcoholic
beverages are to be discreet. This
is to say, they should be in a
paper bag or other nonrevealing
container. Conspicuous or
flagrant possession of alcohol is

Chieftain Marsha stated,
“Plans are already in the
making for a unique annual in

down on paper, but also the
moods and memories that go
along with these events.”

any student to make any
suggestions that they have. “We
want this annual to be one in
which everyone can have a
part,” she said.

Mrs. Luck (David) Gambrell,
wife of the junior U.S. senator

Asa private pilot, Thompson
retains “a keen interest in ad
vancing technology and
guaranteeing that the needs of
industry, the public, and the
environment are blended into a
harmonious whole.”
Observers of the political scene
are predicting that Thompson
has the best chance of any
Republican in modern times to
win a statewide race. But, even
his detracters point out that
much of his strength comes from
the fact that the Democratic
Primary is not arousing over
whelming interest at the present
time.
Thompson’s visit is being
arranged by Gib LaFoy, a retired
industrialist and Tom Fletcher, a
WGC alumni and a Vietnam

THE WEST GEORGIAN
GAMBRELL’S GAMBLE
Mrs. David Gambrell meets and greets a student during her tour of
West Georgia. In the center is Mrs. Johnnye Hutchens who helped
arrange Mrs. Gamhrell’s visit.
division at West Georgia,
Charles Masters.
Mrs. Gambrell graduated
from Duke University in North
Carolina, with a double major in
English and sociology.
Originally from Swainsboro,
Mrs. Gambrell said that the
family still maintains a farm
there.
Speaking of all the cam
paigning she must do for her
husband, Mrs. Gambrell said,
“I have really enjoyed
travelling in parts of the state
that we had never seen, before
David became a senator.”
When asked how the Gam
brel Is’ lives had been changed
by the move to Washington
D.C., Mrs. Gambrell said, “1
love living in Washington. The
main difference now is that we
come into contact with more
and different kinds of people.”
The senator has little time for
social life according to his
wife. “David works until 12 or so
every night,” she said.
“Generally a senator’s hours
are so long that he doesn’t have
time for social life.”
While living in Washington,
Mrs. Gambrell has made quite
a number of friends. “Betty
Talmadge (wife of U.S. Senator
Herman Talmadge of Georgia)
is one of my favorite people,”
she said. “She’s really down to
earth.” Mrs. Gambrell also
called Mrs. Nancy Thurmon,
(wife of Senator Strom Thur
mond, Rep., South Cardinal
one of her “real favorites.”
(Mrs. Thurmond is a former
Miss South Carolina. She
recently married the senator,
and they now have one child).
Continuing, Mrs. Gambrell
said of herself and her friends,
“There are so few of us young,
that we have to stick together. I
guess I’m a social failure
because I never met Martha
Mitchell,” she laughingly ad
ded.
When asked who her husband
would support for the
presidency, Mrs. Gambrell said
that only her husband could
answer that.
She did, however, speak of
her husband’s independent
thinking. “I think David votes
independently on each issue. He
tries to inform himself and
make his own decisions. She
added, “David realizes you
can’t change everything over
night.”
“I think young people are
looking for something real.

become a great nation, com
prised of a great body of people,
but also the formation of a way of
life representative of which our
forefathers dreamed and we
today strive to preserve.
Doubtless the nation is dividing
on opinions daily, and doubtless
there are those who leave the
country under penalty of law
because they disagree with the
nation’s policies. Yet, I believe
even these same persons engage
each summer in big celebration
cm this one true national holiday,
the Fourth of July.
