438 students are presently listed as having completed work toward a
degree. Of these, 245 will receive baccalaureate degrees and 238 will
receive masters degrees.

Internship
Deadline
Extended
The deadline for interested
students to make application for
positions in the fall quarter
Georgia Internship program has
been extended to September 12.
The original deadline of August
1 was extended in order to
"better serve the West Georgia
College students," according to
Dr. Stephen McCutcheon,
director of public services. A
request was made for the ex
tension of the deadline, because
there are still job openings that
can be filled by any college
student. Priority for positions is
given to rising seniors and
juniors and graduate students.
Students graduating prior to the
prospective internship quarter
are discouraged from making
applications.
The intern program creates
opportunities for students at all
levels to take an active part and
become involved in specific
projects in public agencies,
known as host agencies. One such
agency is the Department of
Human Resources. Jobs in this
department include drug abuse
services, aid to senior citizens,
and aid for handicapped children.
Other agencies are State
Economic Opportunities Offices,
Department of Industry and
Trade, Municiple Government
and Public health. Georgia
agencies vary greatly, from the
study of land use to study in
group activity and therapy for
the mentally ill, including
alcoholics. Also offered are jobs
the Georgia Sherriff’s Boy’s
Ranch Inc. and various
educational facilities across the
state.
A maximum of 15 hours credit
under the direction of a local
faculty member in conjunction
with the internship may be given.
Also, interns are given a stipend
of approximate SIOO per month.

On May 22 the General
Assembly of the Student
Government Association
unanimously adopted a
resolution declaring "an in
definate moratorium" on
payment of "all outstanding
traffic tickets” retroactive to
March 28. This was the first step
toward work on a proposal for the
new traffic appeals system which
is to be presented to the Faculty
Senate Monday.
When asked if the new appeals
system would help the overall
traffic situation on campus. SGA
President Michele Shellum
responded that the system
probably would not help to any
great extent, but that "you’ve
got to start somewhere” and that
there are many new proposals
"floating around” for the easing
of this major campus problem.

' Searchings' Magazine Released
Soon By Psychology Department
BY DEBBIE DICKINBON
"Searchings”, a journal of
humanistic literary expression,
will be released by the
psychology department August 8.
Larry Chrispyn, a graduate
assistant, is working as editor
this quarter with a staff including
three other graduate students.
Geno Pometto, Gail Payne, and
Francine Segal. The staff is
trying to bring back “Search
ings” which was started three
years ago but hasn’t been printed
for a year and a half. The journal,
whose distribution has been
restricted in the past to those in
the psychology department, will
be offered to all students for the
first time.
Adam’s Rising, Braves Book
Center, and the Campus
Bookstore will carry copies of
“Searchings”. It can also be
obtained in the psychology office.
A charge of 10 cents per copy will
be used to cover the printing
expenses of the 500 copies to be
produced.
Will Appeals Proposal Ease Traffic Problems?
One question that should be
asked at this point is: will the new
proposal be much of an im
provement over other proposals
or, in fact, the present sysetem?
The first point is the time factor
for implementing any new
system. Obviously, SGA’s
proposal could not be put into
effect before fall quarter.
In the meeting which was held
on May 22, John Dembowski.

objection to a proposal by Dr.
Floyd Hoskins, former faculty
representative on the Traffic
Appeals Committee, that the
administration had "displayed a
certain amount of reluctance to
adopt this program before fall
quarter. If this had been acted
upon sooner perhaps a court
system would be in operation by

Student Coffee House Still On Trial,
To Reopen Fall Quarter, Says SGA
The Student Government
Association coffee house, which
has been operating this summer
on a trial basis was termed "not
as successful as hoped for” by
Michele Shellum, President of
the SGA. However, it will be
reopened fall quarter.
“The reason for the lack of
participation,” Shellum went on
In hope of some international
recognition, an advertisement of
“Searchings” will appear in the
Association for Humanistic
Psychology Newsletter, a
nationally distributed pub
lication. Copies of the journal
will be available to those replying
to the ad. The content of the 40
page journal will concentrate on
the humanistic side of psychology
which deals in the achievement of
“a more fulfilled and aware
consciousness or state of being.”
said Chrispyn. “The humanistic
study is what makes our
department here unique and
though many people frown upon
it, it is a nationally recognized
program.” He said that he hopes
that “Searchings” will promote
understanding between those
involved in psychology and the
rest of the campus by illustrating
the work being done.
The contributions for this
quarter include a variety of
literary forms submitted by
‘News Analysis'
now,” he said.
This brings us to another
question: since the new SGA
proposal cannot be acted upon
before fall quarter and the
Hoskins proposal could possibly
be in service by fall quarter, why
was the Hoskin plan not allowed
to pass through administrative
channels at the end of Spring
quarter rather than presenting
essentially the same proposal 10
weeks later if the proposal “has
no significant difference” from
the current SGA (dan?
It seems that there were three
possibilities at the outset. First,
the current system could have
been maintained. The SGA in its
May 22 resolution sighted that the
present system is “demonstrably
in violation of constitutionally
guaranteed rights" regarding
implication of guilt and a

to say, “lies in the fact that not
enough people knew it was open
seven nights a week and also it
was started late in the quarter.”
“It was just not known as a
good place to go,” she said.
However, according to Shellum,
fall quarter publicity will be
carried out on a more regular
basis.
faculty members, psychology
students, and their friends. The
cover by Francine Segal, a
member of the "Searchings”
staff, and the centerfold by Dan
Holt, cartoonist for the West
Georgian, provide expression in
the form of art. Essays, stories,
and poms are also included.
“Everyone is encouraged to
contribute to the future
publications any form of ex
pression that is based on
humanistic orientation with an
emphasis on personal life ex
periences,” the editor said.
The staff is hoping that this
"Searchings" issue will be
successful in providing a learning
experience for those who read it
through the ideas conveyed by
the writers, according to
Chrispyn. "We hope that
"Searchings" will make in
dividuals aware of what others
feel and will encourage them to
express their own feelings about
life.” he said.
defendant’s right to be faced by
his accusers. “Under the present
system,” one SGA supporter of
the resolution said, "an in
dividual is assumed guilty and
must prove himself innocent.”
But, is this a truely just
assessment of the current
system? Is it not true that the
appeals system offered the right
of appeals?
Secondly, there is the
possibility of accepting the
Hoskm proposal. As has been
stateu before this proposal has
also come under fire from the
SGA for being too slow. And the
final possibility is the im
plementation of the SGA proposal
which, according to Mark
Rowe, SGA vice-president,
“provide for a guaranteed time
limit for the appeals committee
to make its decisions and
students may appear in person to
On the nights when a band was
not playing, as few as eight
people came to the coffee house.
On band nights, as many as 150
people would attend.
The coffee house, located in the
student center, will be open fall
quarter on a seven day basis,
with a band one night a week, and
with a possibility of movies.
Shellum said that she would
like to see the coffee house stay,
and that it will be better when a
more permanent atmosphere is
established. There is a possibility
of moving it into a more per
manent spot in the new Z-6
building, she said.
The coffee house is UPC
financed through student activity
funds. SGA provides volunteer
man power to work at coffee
houses.
People are needed to work, and
anyone interested should check
by SGA offices. Any band in
terested in playing for the coffee
house should contact Michele
Shellum at the SGA offices.
The coffee house will be open
from 8 p.m. - 1 a.m. for the
remainder of the quarter, with
bands playing on August 7 and 12.
Admission is free. On nights
when a band is not playing,
students may play cards, chess,
and drink coffee, according to
Shellum.
At one time plans were being
made to pipe in WWGC broad
casts to the coffee house on the
nights when a band is not playing.
However, an FM antenna is
needed, and presently there no
funds available for such an in
stallation at this time.
present their cases.”
In retrospect it might seem
that the moratorium may have
been a flop as a secretary at the
police station said, “We’ve gotten
more money since the
moratorium was instituted than
before. I think all the moratorium
publicity has reminded the
students to pay their fines.”
It should be recognized that the
SGA realizes that there are many
problems related to traffic and
parking on campus. But the
administration does also. And as
Michele Shellum pointed out
“you’ve got to start somewhere.”
Administrative concern is shown
in President Pafford’s ap
pointment of Tracy Stallings to
wrap this problem up as soon as
possible, according to Dr. J.T.
Ford, executive administrative
assistant to President Pafford.
