Weatherington Best Debater
At Tennessee Tourney
Paul Weathington, a West
Georgia College sophomore
from Carrollton, was named
Outstanding Individual Debater
over a field of almoat 200
competitors last weekend at
Middle Tennessee State
University in Murfreesboro,
Tenn.
West Georgia finished second
overall in the tournament led by
the team of Randy Evans,
junior from Warner Robins, and
Gary Ichter, sophomore from
Douglasville. Eighty-six teams
from throughout the United
States participated in the
tournament.
A second West Georgia team
composed of Weathington and
Tony Fant, sophomore from
Jacksonville, Fla., also ad
vanced to the finals, making
West Georgia the only school
with two teams in the
elimination rounds.
New Physician Denney Handies It All
After 30 years in the practice
of medicine in Carollton and
two as a relief doctor in Indian
reservations out west, Dr. Roy
Denney is branching out into a
position both familiar and
different as the campus
physician at West Georgia’s
health clinic.
This service is utilized by
almost two thirds of the student
body.
"It’s very much the same as a
general practice,” said Denney,
"because you run into most
every kind of health problem.”
Arthritis and heart disease
are perhaps the only problems
not found here because of the
age group of the patients. Flu,
infections, colds, and nausea
have been his first cases since
classes began last Wednesday.
The clinic also works with
gynecology and related health
care.
The college environment with
its many pressures and fast
pace is a factor in some
emotional problems.
Insomnia, anxiety, and
stomach problems seem to be
greater during the first few
weeks of school, especially
among new students.
"They are leaving home for
the first time, many of them.
They don’t know their way
around campus and are trying
to cope with the new en
vironment,” he expounded.

Two freshmen, Jan Bass,
Warner Robins, and Marcus
Bullock, Buford, came within a
single win of advancing to the
elimination rounds also.
In individual competition,
Evans came in sixth in line for
the top speaker award and Ms.
Bass placed eighth.
West Georgia defeated such
schools as the University of
Alabama, Wake Forest
University, the University of
Southwest La., and Tennessee
Tech.
This tournament was the first
on the agenda for collegiate
debate with this season’s topic,
“Resolved: The federal
government should establish a
program to guarantee em
ployment opportunities for all
citizens in the labor force.”
This weekend, West Georgia
will compete among a field of
110 teams at the University of
Kentucky.
national health service center,
Denney treated patients in
areas throughout the west,
including the California desert
in Death Valley, where he spent
last June.
“There was a constant
danger of erosion and side
winders (rattlesnakes),’’
Denney said of an area in which
travelers were cautioned never
to get off the main roads for
they might become stranded or
lost and never be found.
As if the silver screen came to
life, there were vast, dry spaces
without trees, only tum
bleweeds.
“Everything that grew had to
be watered,” said Denney.
Temperatures often peaked
116 in the morning, but the
windy conditions lessened the
intensity of the heat. The very
low humidity is beneficial for
arthritis, asthma, and sinus
conditions, he noted.
From small town south to
ranching country to college
campus, Denney has en
countered quite a range of in
dividuals in his career. In the
west, there were ‘desert rats’
who sat for hours by the
Mahoby River fishing in what
for many months of the year is a
sand bed.
He found many ancient
Indian crafts still being per
formed such as sandstone
painting and removing animal
skins to make drums. There

Activities Planned For Halls
BY RICKY PETTIT
"Everything is going great so
far,” says Rick Folsom,
director of residence life.
This year there is an estimate
of between 16 or 17 hundred
students living in dormitories.
This is an increase of possibly
more than 100 students than last
were the ranchers in pick up
trucks who never failed to stop
and talk as he went to work in
clinics.
Whatever the differences in
lifestyles, Denney notes that
"People are stiU people, no
matter where they get sick.”
