SCHOLAR SPEAKERS—Dr. Ward Pafford (I), and Dr. Richard
Dangler, dean of the school of arts and sciences, spoke Tuesday at
the first meeting of the Presidential Scholars, a student group
founded to recognize and encourage high scholarly achievement.
Dangle , Pafford Speak
To Student Scholars
“There is a difference be
tween sticking your toe in and
total immersion. I would like to
suggest total immersiom,” said
Dr. Richard Dangle, dean of the
school or arts and sciences, as
he spoke at the first meeting of
the Presidential Scholars.
The meeting was held
Tuesday, Oct. 29, in the
cafeteria.
As Dr. Dangle spoke of ‘‘total
immersion” he discussed the
importance of a wide-spread
curriculum, containing both
arts and sciences. He reported
that in the last three weeks over
2300 questionnaries have been
mailed soliciting opinions from
former students about their
curriculum and experiences
when they attended West
Georgia.
President Ward Pafford also
spoke at the meeting. He said he
felt like the college was ‘‘on
solid grounds.” Dr. Pafford said
that as this was his last year at
West Georgia he felt somewhat

like a senior. He said that it
would be wonderful if his
“senior year” could be the best
ever, and that this goal could be
reached through students like
the Presidential Scholars.
The Presidential Scholars
was founded to recognize and
encourage high scholarly
achievement among students
and to promote communication
between these students and
faculty on an informal basis,
according to Dean Georgia
Martin, associate dean of
student services.
When someone applies to the
college, he is automatically
considered for this honor since
membership is open to all
classes including transfers, said
Dean Martin. Membership is
determined annually, as each
student’s record is reviewed.
There is no cost for mem
bership, and activities include
monthly luncheons with guest
speakers and an annual
banquet.
