NUMBER 17
STUDENTS WANT
TO RENAME G.S.C.
Colonnade, Student Publication
Suggests That Regents Rename
G. S. C. W. or G. S. W. C.
Students at the Georgia State Col
lege for Women here want the
beards of regents of the University
System of Georgia to do something
about the Georgia State Woman’s
College at Valdosta.
Specifically, they want the name
o’ the latter institution changed so
that the two schools will net be con
fused as frequently es they arc now
The Colonnade, student paper,
sponsoring the move, has no sug
gestions on a new name, but holds
that since the Miliedgcville school *s
the older, the Valdcsta college should
be the one changed.
The name of the college
changed from Georgia Normal A- In
dustrial College to the Georgia State
Crllege for Women a number of
years ago by an act of the legisla
ture. At tho time the school here
changed the name, the Valdosta col
lege was changed to Georgia State
Woman’s College.
The confusion caused by the
similarity of the two names has been
evident for several years and at the
time the Valdosta college was named
the G. N. 1. C. alumnae issued a
—— i protest.
Mr. James M. Lewis, supervisor of I Regenls havc taken no action
the CCC Camp at Stevens Pottery. 4 . ... ..
Ga.. wax admitted lo the City Hos-jon the suggestion that the Valdosta
pital on Wednesday for treatment, college have the name changed.
