Study finds that college students, not elderly,
are among the loneliest
(CPS) College students, par
ticularly entering freshmen, are
more lonely than virtually all other
social groups except single parents,
alcoholics and some high school
students, according to a researcher
at the University of Nebraska-
Lincoln.
“We have been very surprised to
learn that college students are one of
the more lonely groups of people
we’ve surveyed over the years,”
says John Woodward, UNL pro
fessor of human development, who
has given his loneliness test to
thousands of people including over
400 students over the past 20
years.
After asking respondents how they
feel’and behave in specific social
situations, Woodward rates them on
what he calls his “loneliness index.”
“Ironically, what we have found is
that high school and college students
who you would expect to be the
least lonely of all people rate very
high on the loneliness index, while
the elderly who you would expect
to feel lonely are the lowest group
on the loneliness index,” he reports.
The only people lonelier than
entering freshmen, he says, are
alcoholics, single parents, rural high
school students and female, inner
city high schoolers.
“We believe that students are lone
ly for a good many reasons,” Wood
ward explairts. “Most of them have
been uprooted from their family sup
port systems, their life-long friends,
and are searching to establish anew
support system - in a strange place
among strange people.”

Theatre company prepares for fall’s comedy
By CHRIS HAYS
Asst. News Editor
The West Georgia theatre com
pany, in the wake of a tragic sum
mer, has already begun planning
this quarter’s production of You
Can’t Take It With You under the
direction of Dr. Oliver Link.
This play, which is described by
Link as a “classic comedy,” ex
emplifies the general mood swing
that has run rampant through the
company following the death of one
of their members, William Boling,
over the summer.
Jay Stewart, a member of the
theatre company, explains, “It’s go
ing to be something that is really dif-
When you don’t want a burger and fries...
There are various places to eat in
the booming metropolis of Carrollton
which may sometimes provide a
happy escape from the culinary
frights of Z-6 and the Student Center.
In fact, there are restaurants design
ed to cater to virtually every taste,
whether it be domestic, foreign, or
fast food.
Connoisseurs of fast food will cer
tainly be delighted to know that
establishments set up to serve their
needs greatly outnumber any other
kind of restaurant in this town.
There are the old reliables such as
McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Burger
King which basically serve the same
product in similar price ranges at
convenient locations near the cam
pus. Among the multitude of others
several stand way above or below
the crowd.
For those students looking for fast
food without the risk of having to
force down a greasy hamburger
there are a limited number of good
choices. Arby’s is fine if you’re will
ing to pay a little more, and for
chicken lovers Lee’s Famous Recipe
and Kentucky Fried Chicken fit the
bill For those with foreign fast food
tastes there’s Del Taco and Spyro
Gyro.
In need of definite improvement
are Jack’s and Dairy Queen. The
main gripe against Jack’s is that it’s
reminiscent of dining in a ghost
town, which is fine if your looking to
escape from all civilation while
eating your hamburger.
Dairy Queen is also suitable if
you’re willing to put up with rude
CPB announces fall lineup
By ANGELA MORRIS
Managing Editor
Where can you see movies like The
Breakfast Club, Purple Rain or Con
an The Destroyer for only $1.50?
Thanks to the College Program
Board (CPB), you can see them
right here at WGC.
These movies, along with many
other activities have been slated for
fall quarter and began September 24,
with “C Night”, a carnival of events
in the Student Center. The Breakfast
Club will be shown tonight in the
Arizona State University.
“You can be in the middle of New
York City and still be lonelier than if
you were in Muncie, Indiana,” he
notes. “And a student in the midst of
anew campus can be surrounded by
people all day, and still feel lonely
because of the changes and decisions
they have to make.”
Loneliness, says UNL’s Wood
ward, “is a very normal human con
dition, but it becomes a problem
when it interferes with someone’s
ability to function.”
ferent from what we’ve done before.
We didn’t want to do a heavy,
depressing show after losing
William. We felt like doing
something light after the summer we
had.”
The choice of You Can’t Take It
With You as this quarter’s produc
tion was, according to Link, a group
decision. He said, “It was a consen
sus decision. The group sentiment
following the disaster that occured
this summer led them to decide that
they didn’t want to do the originally
scheduled production.”
Link and the members of the
theatre company share high hopes
for the production, mostly due to the
employee’s and waiting so long that
cobweb’s begin to develop on your
body.
Foreign food lovers also have a
various amount of spots where they
can spend their dining dollars.
The success and popularity of The
Lazy Donkey has never ceased to
baffle me, but on this campus it is ob
viously the overwhelming choice for
Mexican food. The meals are overall
very good and reasonably priced,
but the rude and inconsiderate
hostesses and the long wait for a
table can sometimes be too much.
La Fiesta is located just down the
road from the Donkey and is an
alternative choice for Mexican din
ing. The atmosphere and the food
can be somewhat lacking at times,
but for those dissatisfied with the
Donkey this is a good choice.
The Chinese restaurants in town,
which include The Golden River and
The Chinese Pagoda, are both
relatively good and both have buf
fets, although most people seem to
prefer the Pagoda’s food. One addi
tional note: the Pagoda dog meat
story is not true!
Finally, there are those
restaurants dedicated to providing
domestic food dining for those who
prefer steaks and seafood. Car
rollton’s three main steak houses are
Western Sizzling, the Steer, and
Bonanza. All three serve good food
at decent prices, with the Steer being
probably the most accessible for
students.
Two additional restaurants which
are becoming increasingly popular
Social Science Lecture Hall. Other
movies scheduled are: Lady Hawk,
Police Academy 11, The Blues
Brothers, A Soldier’s Story and The
Killing Fields. All movies will be
shown at both 7:00 p.m. and at 9:30
p.m. Admission is $1.50 with an ID
and 2.50 without an ID.
Other activities include Fredrick
Storaska speaking on rape preven
tion, Ed and Lorraine Warren speak
ing on the supernatural, the dance
troup, “Bulava” (Cossack Dancers)
and a concert featuring “Xavion”.
“But something as simple as a
phone call home, joining a club or
organization, or going to church can
help students establish the new rela
tionships and gain the self con
fidence they need to overcome their
loneliness,” Woodward says.

quality of the play. They are also
hoping for a great influx of students
to try out for the play because of the
large number of parts available.
Link added, “This is a crazy comedy
and it requires a very large cast (19
characters).”
And for those students worried
about the time demands of being in
volved in the production. Link in
sisted that there are a lot of parts in
the play that aren’t too time
demanding.
According to Stewart, this play has
the potential to be one of the best the
college has ever seen. “It’s going to

Stewart feels that there has been a
noticeable lack of support from the
students and the faculty in the past.
He explains, “It’s a shame that so
many talented people have been
through here or are still here and
have not gotten the recognition they
deserved.” He added that he hoped
