Welcome To Campus....
But Be Sure To Watch Out
The staff of The West Georgian wants to
be* among the first to welcome all new
stude*nts to West Georgia. This is a fairly
nice place to go to school, but it does have
its drawbacks, drawbacks which, for the
most part, can be avoided by being in
formed about them
TIIF COLLEGE STAFF
The people to be most wary of at West
Georgia are the various staff members.
Remember that they are here to do their
job of working for the school, and that they
will put the school’s interest ahead of
students’ interests. The residence life office
serves as probably the best example of this.
If you live in a dorm at West Georgia, be
aware of this: There are a multitude of
rules, some petty, some important, that,
unless you look hard for them, you win not

Even the resident advisors in the dorms are
not aware of ALL the rules of residence life.
Be aware too, that you have signed a
BINDING CONTRACT that you can not get
out of. If you are in a dorm, you're there for
the year. You'll just have to live with it.
MONEY
Keep in mind too that West Georgia, like
most colleges, is financially unforgiving. A
former editor of The West Georgian owed a
minimal amount in parking fines, which,
because he felt they were unjust, he never
paid. While he finished his work here
several years ago, he has yet to graduate,
and has framed his parking tickets as a
reminder of West Georgia’s intractability
(and his own).
