THE WEST GEORGIAN, WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 23, 1981
Troubleshooting Available
for Handicapped Students
How do people with special needs
learn to cope with problems they en
counter in college'* Dr Ann Phillips of
the Student Development Center has a
program which helps people to help
themselves and to share with others
their solutions to special problems
Phillips is in charge of Handicapped
Services Her job is to find and contact
students with handicaps ami help them
with their needs at the college She
works to solve architectural problems
in facilities, eases the problems
students may have with their classes
and professors, and counsels handicap
ped students
She can find readers or tapes for the
blind, note-takers for the deaf and blind
(using special carbon note paper),
tutors and counselors for students with
learning disabilities, and help to make
all classes accessible to wheelchair
bound students
Phillips often worksasa go-between
for students who are unsure about inf or
ming their professors of their pro
blems If she can warn a professor
ahead of time that one of his students is
deaf, for example, that professor can

A $1 late fee was required of all
students who missed a mid-term, while
those who missed a final were required
to pay $2
In later years, the dress code rules
became less stringent; young women
were allowed to wear pedal pushers and
blue jeans on Saturdays until the lunch
hour was over, but never were they
allowed to be worn off campus, in the
library or the administrative buildings

notice that it was set in sideways, not
terribly useful for those on horseback,
but that doesn't seem to matter very
much because the essence of the sym
bol can still be seen and the slogan
"Step l)p to West Georgia College” still
makes sense
As most anyone could guess, WGD
has not always looked as it does today
At one time, the entire college consisted
of a handful of buildings that now mark
the front campus drive During this
time the rest of the area was made up of
forest and thick brush A log cabin was
the only sign of civilization in the space
that now boasts the library and the
math-physics building (It is widely
rumored that several enterprising
young students had a fully operational
moonshine still hidden in the woods
near this cabin > It was not until after
WWII that enrollment went up enough
to warrant improved housing facilities
Although the school was small and
rural it was by no means inadequate
Asa matter of fact, the A&M School
was a model country school Visitors
from all over the country and even from
other parts of the world came to watch
and study this "progressive” college in
the country West Georgia was (Hie of
the first schools to experiment with
continuing education and students set
up baby setting services so parents
could go to class Faculty members
took trips to country churches and
taught small classes there for those
people who could not travel to inner
Carrollton Indians, Vietnamese.
Yugoslavian communists and Turkish
students came to watch the new
methods of teaching at Sand Hill, which
served as the College Laboratory
School
During this period West Georgia had
its own farm and dairy operations to

ing the special collections of the
library.
The special collections themselves
are housed in a locked room behind the
Annie Belle Weaver Room. Here are
shelved various items deemed too
valuable to shelve with the regular col
lections. Most of these items are clipp
ings, photographs, books and
manuscripts dealing with the history of
West Georgia and the West Georgia
area. All these materials are listed in
the main card catalog and may be re
quested for use at the Reference Desk.
GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS
The Ingram library is the only
depository for U.S. government
publications in the West Georgia area.
The 127,000 piece collection consisting
of books, pamphlets and microfiche,
and a separate index area, is located
on the main floor. Ask at the Reference

so that the deaf student will be able to
work around his handicap
In counseling handicapped students,
Phillips finds that these people often
feel they need someone to talk to, but
may not be able toexplam their feelings
to someone else They can, however,
explain them to a counselor who has
worked with handicapped students

Besides Phillips program, there are
other services offered for handicapped
students by the college Temporary and
permanent handicapped parking
stickers are available at Public Safety
and there are parking spaces for the
handicapped at various places on cam

special medications on campus
Phillips offers an invitation to anyone
with "any handicap, with temporary or

Nostalgia
Georgia in the '6os, recalls tfiat
students were not allowed to go farther
than 25 miles from campus without
signing out.
Chapel attendance was not required
by this time, but the cafeteria hostess
required all students to dress in their
Sunday clothes for the noon meal, he
said. The first student in line was re
quired to ask the blessing.
A common punishment for a student
violating the student conduct code prior
to the ’6os was digging up a stump on
campus. Smith said.

help feed the students. Many pupils
stayed during the summer so they could
work on that farm as a sort of coop pro
gram At this time the school was
receiving financial aide from such
dignitaries as the Rosenwald Corpora
tion and the Ford Foundation The
Rosen wa Id Corporation set up a
cooperative grist mill, potato curing
house and other helpful programs to
help offset the pxir economy that
plagued this area of Georgia at that
time.
Names that will be remembered by
West Georgia historians are Irvine
Sullivan Ingram, who searched the sur
rounding countryside for prospective
students and urged them to attend, and
Mary Davidson who was always a
favorite among the students for her
ability to find something interesting
and entertaining for them to do. Accor
ding to Davidson, almost all of the
students stayed at the college on the
weekends so there had to be some form
of entertainment for them One of her
favorite things to do was to take the
school bus and drive several of the
students to famous occultist Mahaley
Lancaster to have their future forecast
Of course, then as now, sports were
very much a part of campus life Even
though West Georgia was always con
sidered to be a basketball school, there
was a football team. The last team was
in 1958 and there lias been no gridiron
action since Of course, that will change
this quarter.
If you are interested in finding out
more about the college you are atten
ding and the community that surrounds
it, go to the library's special collection
rooms. There you can find such pieces
of priceless antiquity as Dr Ingrma’s
personal memoirs and letters Or simp
ly ask members of the faculty such as

CIRCULATION OF
PERIODICALS
The Irvine Sullivan Ingram Library
offers a service which is not available
at most college libraries. A student with
a validated I.D. card may borrow
bound or unbound journals overnight
for 24 hours The only exceptions are
the current issue and the periodicals
put on reserve by the faculty There is a
limit of tw o items
This circulation policy was initiated
for the benefit of the student who is
working late in the library and cannot
finish by closing Art and media
students have found this service helpful
in providing photographs from which to
work, according to library personnel.
Only through student cooperation is
the library able to offer this service
since it may cost as much as SSO to
replace one volume of a journal. The
fine for an overdue periodical is 25
cents per hour.
One of the major factors in many col
lege student’s lives is music. And
without a doubt, hundreds of the incom
ing freshmen and any student who is
not used to the Carrollton area will be
wondering which way to turn their
radio dials to find their favorite types of
lunes
Well, there are many different types
of music that can be enjoyed in the com
fort of a dorm room If one is fond of
country music he can turn to WLBB at
1100 AM If a smoother, “adult contem
porary" sound is being sought, the inex
perienced listener may want to locate

WBTR is a top 40 station that can be
found at 92 on the FM dial It has
dominated the local broadcasting scene
for quite some time now, and of course,
one can always tune to the Atlanta sta
tions
But if being "true to your school” is
your number, WWGC is the campus
radio station and it is a non
commercial, non-profit, student-run
organization Asa matter of fact, at the
time you are reading this there will
more than likely be a few left-over spots
for a hard working student to fill.
WWGC, or the ALBUM FM, as it is
called by those who work there, is
located right to the left of WBTR at 90 5.
The position will be changed during
the fall quarter because of a power in
crease. but the difference will be so

WWGC has been gracing the air
waves with music for over 10 years now
and what started out as a 10-watt sta

building to pick it up - is swiftly becom
ing one of the most widely listened-to
stations in the area The format con
sists of basic album-onented rock with
a heavy emphasis on new music but
without resorting to Top 40 material. As
a matter of fact, as long as a song is on
the Top 40 charts, it is unlikely that it
will be played at all here.
Although the station concentrates on
the rock crowd, the station also caters
to jazz and progressive and even
classical tastes Every Sunday from 10

show “All That Jazz” is featured with
perennial host Chuck Smallwood. The
return of an import, progressive music
show will take place this quarter at an
as-of-yet undecided time when Brett
Johnson takes the helm of “Radioac
tivity.” Also, every Wednesday night at
7, the Milwaukee Symphony treats the
discriminating ear to its presentation of
many of the great classical pieces of
music. Along the same line, Patrick
Bryant hosts the Sunday show, "The
Classics," where many of the most il
lustrious composers' works are listened
to and enjoyed. Finally, at noon every
weekday there is a two-hour shift
known as the “Lunch Set” which offers
the listener the best jhe rock world has
to offer.
Music is not the only drawing card
WWGC has A still growing news
department can keep students up to
r OOWIINO’S
date on what’s going on around the
campus and in the outside world And
special features such as
•Kaleidoscope." a black culture pro
gram and “In Focus.” an interview
forum, are available to those students
who wish to learn more about the com
munity around them.
The staff of WWGC consists of Mane
Chapman; station manager. Jeff
Styles program director Greg Oden,
music director Duane Tate, and the job
of production manager which is cur
rently open due to the retirement of
WWGC veteran John “Bear' Johnsom
David Chapman has the difficult job of
keeping the station on the air as chief
engineer and Director of Learning
Resources Jerry Mock oversees the sta
tion as a whole
One of the mo6t interesting things
about the station is the long-awaited
power increase that is due this fall.
After raising the money through a
benefit concert by the local band Fort
nox (at that time Deacon Little) the
ALBUM FM will finally find it possible
to increase their wattage from around
200 watts to nearly 1,000 This increase
will make them the strongest FM sta
tion in the area So far, there is no ten
tative date for the boost but it is a safe
bet that it will take place during the
middle weeks of falf quarter
