The Crisis Center
Problem-Solver Works
Round Clock For All
The existence of the Counseling Center is a major factor for many
West Georgia College students —a very minor factor for many others.
For example, some students are really hassled about having to be in
college in the first place —it’s not something they would have chosen
had the choice been entirely theirs. So they decide to talk it out with
somone who’s not going to try to make up their minds for them they
head for the Counseling Center.
Another example: there are a
number of students who have
simply been waiting for the first
opportunity to get a counselor
who could help clarify some
confusions about living, about the
opposite sex, or about family
relations (just to mention a few).
As soon as they get settled into a
class routine they head for the
Counseling Center.
Other situations that bring
students to the Counseling Center
include things like having
learning-problems, being test
tight, needing a tutor, looking for
a trouble-shooter who can cut
through WGC Red Tape. The
Counseling Center staff has been
involved in roommate problems,
in lovers’ relationships, in
problems with parents, in study
problems, in the selection of a
major, in drug habits, in
depression, in theft, and in many,
many other kinds of feelings and
situations that hassle students.
Now you may wonder, if you
talk once to a counselor, will you
be expected to go back? The
answer is many students come
once or twice about a specific
situation that may be bothering
them —and that’s the end of it.

it. If it’s something they want,
they come back for more. If it’s of
no use to them they split —and
that’s that. In short no
pressure. The decision to come or
go is totally the student’s. And
here’s another important point:
the unbreakable policy of the
Counseling Center staff is one of
total privacy.
Two of the major services
offered by the Counseling Center
are testing and career coun
seling. Testing includes per
sonality tests, interest tests,
other kinds as well. Career
counseling includes advisement
of what courses to take, aid in
selecting a major, taking a look
at your personality in relation to
your career choice, and finally,
placement in a job when you
graduate.
And the staff? Counseling
Center head is Dr. Georgia
Martin. Counselors include
Wayne Seabolt, Dr. Ann Sieg,
Mrs. Mary Helen Ford
(psychometrist), and Ken
Wilkerson (head of placement).
The Counseling Center office
opens at 9 a .m. and closes from 12
to 1 p.m. for lunch, and at 5 p.m.
in the afternoon, Monday through
Friday. The Center is located on
the second floor of the Ad
ministration Building on the front
