Their Views
Our Roving Reporter just roam
ed into the office long enough to
deposit with us this sensational
group of quotable quotes, the pro
duct of many days of grueling work
in wind, sleet, storm etc. etc. etc.
We have gleaned, selected, and re
jected the answers she gave us
until we feel that what we have
is the general concensus of opinion
on that timely question: DO YOU
(HONESTLY?) THINK THAT
FRESHMEN SHOULD BE AL
LOWED TO BRING THEIR TOYS
TO SCHOOL WITH THEM ? ? ?
Dawson Mims, Macon, Freahman
—I don’t think we should because
the upperclassmen will take them
away from us.
Janice Hunt, Thomson, Freshman
—Yes, we might not have enough
lessens to keep us busy.
Donald King, Alumnus, Savannah
—Sure, Freshman have been known
to play around.
Haywood Day, Freshman, Colum
bus—No, there should be restric
tions upon everything but paper
dolls and teddy bears.
Bud Campbell, Chatsworth: Her
man Benfield, Cornelia; Freshmen
—Yes, it would give the professors
something to do.
