Students arise! Are we going
to allow this depraved,
aetheistic communistic per
verted practice of pouring
alcohol into our community?
Are we going to let organized
crime infiltrate the minds of
innocent young Carrolltonians?
lx*t the cry that rings from pizza
place to steak house* be an
emphatic NO!
Why, you ask” Let us
examine the facts
On the first day of May, 1951,
the town of Fleabag, Minnesota
allowed th pouring of alcohol in
public. Within minutes the
populace became crazed by the
sinful brew, they ran barefoot
through trn* nearby meadows
and streams like children in six
feet of snow 1
In 1964 Sinkhole, Louisiana
passed a pouring law. During
the ensuing reign of alcohol
madness, several townspeople
attempted to sever Sinkhole
from land and float it down the
Mississippi river. Luckily, the
National Guard stopped the
disaster before its conclusion.
During the July 4th picnic in
Amelia. Washington last year,
alcohol was allowed to be
served Two men went berserk
and attacked a grandmother,
beating her severely about the
head with hotdogs. Another
man was treated for a con
cussion when he attempted to
execute a swan dive into a bowl
of onion dip. Police also
reported that several in
toxicated individuals were
bruised when they drove a
Volkswagen into the trunk of a
Cadillac, thinking it was the
New Jersey Tunnel.
Incidents like this have oc
cured all across America,
everyday. The faster America
pours, the quicker she goes
down the drain. The moral fiber
of this country is becoming
drenched in Boone’s Farm
Apple Wine.
Have you ever stopped to
wonder why our food prices are
rising so much? It’s because all
of our grains are being funneled
into the production of that
Godless alcohol. It’s just as
Peking has planned, to make us

into inebriated slosh-bottoms
that can be easily disposed of.
Do you want Carrollton to follow
this path of distruction?
The number of degenerates
that are spawned by alcohol is
growing every year. Let us
examine one such degenerate, a
student right here at West
Georgia. D.W.. as we will call
him, knows only too well the
dangers of alcohol. In his home
town alcohol was consumed in
public. He grew up seeing brew
consumed in restaurants, front
porches, supermarkets and
playgrounds. D.W. began his
fall by sniffing the caps of
Thunderbird wine, and
gradually was introduced to
drink by older boys. He was
soon reduced to spending the
money his mother gave him for
the collection plate for draft
beer.
By the time he reached
Carrollton he was firmly en
trenched on the devil’s side. At
first he brought a sack lunch to
school (filled with Hippie

Rights
The Editors:
The absurdity of not being
allowed to drink during a
concert is nothing more than an
infringement upon the rights of
an individual, according to the
passing of a bill, by Congress,
lowering the drinking age.
However, it seems here at
West Georgia we are so image
conscious we must abide by yet
another law that is handed down
from up above, so that we may
have the “right’’ to be a par
ticipant of a concert. It has
been said we must not drink or
smoke at the concert so we may
be blessed by more “out
standing' groups in the future.
The only reasonable choice
left for the student is to get
"blown out” before the concert
or to leave the concert
periodically for his or her
favorite stimulant. However, it
Bottles, not peanut butter
sandwiches). The alcohol filled
him with false security and he
drank openly behind the H.P.E.
building. One sin leads to
another and he actually drank a
beer in front of the student
center.
It is easy to guess D.W.’s
behavioral habits. He is the type
who looks at “National
Geographic” for pictures of
naked women. He dresses
slovenly and allows himself to
become unshaved. His hobbies
range from making pyramids
out of P.B.R. cans to attending
mass for the sacramental wine.
How perverted can one person
be’’
There is little hope for D.W.
Perhaps, with psychiatric help
and ministerial guidance, he
can return to the normal way of
life in the next thirty years. He
is not our concern. We must
unite to defeat socialistic,
barbarian proposals before
Carrollton drinks herself back
into the stone age.
seems at the previous concert
sponsored by ATO, only a
marked few were allowed this
privilege.
The rule, laid down by the
doorman, was that nobody
could leave the concert and if
one chose to leave then he or she
must pay the price of another
ticket to re-enter the festivities.
Strangely enough, the rule did
did not apply to the “brothers”
of this certain fraternity. It
seems that if one is a “brother,”
then he can do anything he
wants. He seems to ascend
above the “non-brothers”.
Normally, this segregation
does not bother me and I have
no desire to be involved with
such a narrow-minded, childish
bunch of adolescents, but when
I witness such “favoritism” I
feel it is time to confront this
group with their behavior.
What motivates such an act?

Roberts Rules of Chaos
I wish to commend the ad
ministration for the initiative
shown in their recent decision to
install street lights in the
Roberts-Pritchard parking
area. It is now possible for the
residents to actually see the
parking spaces they’re missing.
The disregard of the parking
situation at Roberts and Prit
chard Halls has been flagrant.
Many students, however, have
offered suggestions to deal with
the dilemma.
A friend of mine has offered
the suggestion of a balloon-type
automobile. He believes his
suggestion would solve the
parking problem, as all cars
could be deflated at night and
stored in a closet.
A physics student has arrived
at yet another answer to the
parking pandemonium. In a
brief speech to a group of
bewildered parkers, he said, “If
all Roberts-Pritchard parking
tickets could be saved for two
weeks. I could gather them and
build the world’s largest paper
aircraft. This craft would be
capable of transporting 250-300
students per trip.” When asked
what effect a rainstorm would
have on his paper craft, he
replied, “The solution is a

Maybe it is the need tor money,
or maybe it is only the per
version of the doorman to fondle
all of those tickets. Whatever
the reason, take heed “dear
brothers,” this cannot continue.
I need not remind you what has
happened in the past when
minorities felt they were
handed an unfair deal.

aircraft to an ark.”
An athletically inclined
student has proposed that all
tickets be shredded and allowed
to accumulate on the campus
grounds. His plan would result
in completely covering the
campus in an artificial snow.
“Skis could then be issued to the
students,” he said. This move
would result in more parking
space and would dramatically
increase the number of in
firmary patients. This would
require more government
financial aid for medical
equipment, which could
possibly be used for parking lot
construction. He assured me
that the tickets on the ground
would decompose in the process
of 200 years. Audubon would
have been proud of him.
A business student has
suggested that residents in
Roberts and Pritchard Halls
hold one week’s ticket fine

Notice
The Editors:
The Robert Ripley Chapter of
the Western Georgia
Archeological and Gee-Whiz
Society will display an example
of prehistoric memorabilia in
the ground floor of the Student
Center during lunch time in the
near future.
This display will consist of a
piece of whole solid meat, which
archeological evidence in
dicates was actually chewed up
and eaten by some primitive
societies, not even bothering to
grind it or add soy supplement.
All students are invited to
stop by before or after their
lunch of soyburgers or noodles
and giggle over the quaint
habits of this group of savages
which once resided in this very
area.

fewer cars and subsequently
force the registration of tennis
shoes by campus police.
There are several suggestions
that have not developed yet,
such as the Community
Skateboard Movement. A small
group of health-enthusiasts
have proposed that the
residents of Roberts and
Pritchard Halls combine their
talents to construct an enor
mous skateboard. Composed of
85 feet of lumber and 1500 skate
wheels, this vehicle would
provide mass transportation
and would widen the parking
areas each time it passed
through.
Hopefully, the administra
tion’s compassion is not as
exhausted as our parking space.
If so, then we should
employ Richard Nixon as
Campus Director of Public
Safety. Then cars with even
numbered registration stickers
could park on Monday.Wednes
day, and Friday. Cars with
odd-numbered registration
stickers could park on Tuesday,
Thursday, and Saturday. On
Sunday, of course, all parking
areas would be reserved for the
administration’s convenience.
