For the past several years West Georgia College has offered
its prospective students an information piece that was colorful and
elaborate. However, from what we have learned, our brochure did
little to answer many of the questions that are being asked by
today's college bound student. Consequently, a new and more
informative method in meeting these needs had to be found.

When studying the type of questions that are posed by pros-
pective students, we realized that these questions coincided with
those that are posed by new students at West Georgia each summer
and fall. Therefore, it was decided that The Brave, the college's
official student handbook, would be an ideal way to provide an-
swers for the prospective student, just as it does for the student
who is new on campus. With the exception of these first four
pages, which were added to include important information concern-
ing academic programs and admissions and financial aid policies,
this is the identical booklet that all West Georgia students receive

The Brave is not another form of recruitment propaganda,
but it is a publication that is published by the students themselves.
We feel that The Brave portrays an accurate picture of West
Georgia College what it offers and the standards by which its
students live.

^Tcademicd

Six undergraduate aad five graduate degrees and more than
sixty fields of major study ranging from art to speech are avail-
able to the student attending West Georgia. The academic program
supports the concept that an educated person has a good under-
standing of the history of civilization, classical literature, the
humanities, modern mathematics, natural sciences, professional
education, and the behavioral sciences. Therefore, during the fresh-
man and sophomore years students explore a variety of subjects,
known as the "core curriculum," before concentrating on a major
field of study.

The following is a list of majors available to students at West
Georgia:

Humanities

Art (Studio and Art Educ.*) Music (Applied and Educ.*)

and physics; the Master of Business Administration; the Master
of Education in administration and supervision, business educa-
tion, early childhood education, elementary education, guidance
and counseling, junior high education, reading instruction, secon-
dary education; and the Specialist in Education degree in early
childhood education, elementary education, guidance and counsel-
ing, and secondary education.

The Faculty: Nearly three hundred faculty members are
drawn from universities and colleges from throughout the nation
and numerous foreign institutions. The teachers show an enthu-
siasm for learning and active interest in the world around them.
Although some classes are scheduled in large lecture sessions, most
are taught in groups of fifteen (or smaller) to thirty-five. All faculty
members have regular office hours, and the student is encouraged
to consult with his instructor in any class when he feels the need
of additional guidance. Many faculty members serve as individual
advisors to students.

Scholastic Honors: The College recognizes scholarly achieve-
ment in a number of ways. A number of special awards for
academic excellence are made during the year. Students who main-
tain at least a 3.5 (two A's and one B for normal load of three
five-hour courses) are named to the "Dean's List" each quarter.
A certificate commending such achievement is also made.

Academic excellence is also recognized in other ways. Six
honor -organizations and recognition societies recognize achieve-
ment in specif ic areas of study.

Facilities: A modern library housing over 140,000 volumes
and over 200,000 pieces of microtext, numerous research labora-
tories and modern air-conditioned classrooms and lecture halls are
just a few of the facilities built and maintained to enhance the
academic development of the students.

The admissions policy at West Georgia is to admit those
students who appear to have reasonable promise of success and
who can profit greatly from the educational program of the
College. This applies to freshman, transfer, and graduate students.
Freshman and transfer applicants who do not meet minimum
qualifications for regular admission may be given the opportunity
to enroll on a trial basis in quarters other than fall.

For beginning freshmen, both the high school record and
the College Entrance Examination Board Scholastic Aptitude Test
scores are studied carefully before a decision is made on admis-

sion. The high school record carries more weight than the test
scores.

Transfer students are considered for admission on the basis
of their previous college record and the other factors listed in the
college catalogue. Graduate students are considered on the basis of
their previous college record, scores on the Graduate Record
Examination (Aptitude Test) or National Teachers Examination
(Common), letters of recommendation, and other factors detailed
in the college catalogue and graduate bulletin.

Application should be made as early as possible in the senior
year of high school for the student who wishes to enter the fresh-
man class beginning in the following fall. Transfer students and
graduate students should apply as soon as interest develops in West
Georgia. In all cases, applications should be on file in the Ad-
missions Office or Graduate Division office at least twenty days
before the opening of the quarter in which the students wish to
attend.

financial ~s4id

A very large percentage of students at West Georgia derive
some type of financial assistance through a variety of agencies.

The federal and state governments, West Georgia College,
the West Georgia College Foundation, Inc. and numerous com-
panies and individuals provide funds for worthy and deserving
students.

More than forty scholarships, scholarship programs, loans and
grants are available. Many students earn a large portion of their
college expenses through the institution's work-study and student
assistant programs. Two and three hour per day jobs are held by
students in most campus offices, maintenance department, library,
cafeterias and other areas.

West Georgia College requires that a student who is applying
for financial assistance submit a Parents' Confidential Statement.
The College Scholarship Service, a national organization, evaluates
these forms to determine a student's need for financial assistance.
The Financial Aid Office at West Georgia uses the information
obtained through the evaluation as one of the principle factors in
the determination of a financial aid program for the individual
student.

Parents' Confidential Statement forms may be obtained from
high school counselors or the Director of Financial Aid, West
Georgia College.

Further information concerning financial assistance at West
Georgia may be obtained by writing to the Director of Financial
Aid, West Georgia College, Carollton, Georgia 30117.

You are very welcome at West Georgia College as a new
personal friend and as a new member of our campus community.
To us, you are not just another social security number. You
are a real person with pains, problems, desires, needs, and
more potential for growth and success than you may imagine.

Our main business and concern at West Georgia College is
continuing education at the college level for you as an individual
and, of course, as a member of society. We want you to come
to realize your best self. And we want this best self to help
in facing and solving the complex problems of the modern world.
These problems are not going to be dealt with effectively unless
you yourself continue to advance in knowledge, understanding,
sensitivity, and moral strength. We at West Georgia are com-
mitted to helping you advance in these ways as best we can.

So we hope that you will welcome us too as new friends
and companions in the work that we all have to do together.

Fellow Student:

In only a few short years,

West Georgia has rapidly expanded from a small, rather
insignificant college to one of the most progressive institutions in
Georgia. Because of this short heritage, tradition has never been a
handicap at West Georgia College. The curriculum and academic
structure have been designed to permit an intense extraction of the
most contemporary liberal arts principles which govern our
society and the modern world. However, to benefit from this
academic atmosphere, you must discipline yourself and make your-
self accountable to society for the education it has made available
to you, and thus the college encourages individual responsibility.

The West Georgia community, including its faculty, adminis-
trators, townspeople, as well as its students are as diverse a group
as will be found on any campus. It is often said that diversity is
a virtue in a liberal arts education. Because this is also our
philosophy, many organizations and interest groups are available
for your participation in order to complement your academic life
and develop any special interest that you may have. These groups
are coordinated through Student Government which is a strong,
active body representing you on the local, state, and national
scenes.

I urge you to become involved in your own education;
academically and socially. With the right to an education comes
the responsibility to develop it and use it to the benefit of our
society.

It is a pleasure to welcome you to West Georgia. I hope
that your experiences here will be of great value to you.

Sincerely yours,

Rick Waites,

Student Body President

Dear New Student:

Welcome to West Georgia College! For the benefit of you
and your fellow students, we have brought together a highly
competent faculty with broad and varied backgrounds, a well-
planned curriculum which provides numerous degree options,
and extensive library and laboratory facilities. We hope that
you will use these effectively for your intellectual, social, and
cultural growth.

Your course of study will include a variety of courses in
the Core Curriculum to give breadth to your education and
specialized courses in your major to give depth in your chosen
field. I urge you to read the academic regulations in this hand-
book and in the catalog so that you will be familiar with various
requirements and options available to you.

Should you have problems, please feel free to consult with
your faculty advisor, your instructor, any appropriate department
head or division chairman, or any of us in the Office of Academic
Affairs. Our only purpose in being here is to assist you in taking
full advantage of the educational opportunities on the West
Georgia College campus.

Sincerely,

John M. Martin

Vice-President and

Dean of Academic Affairs

Dear New Student:

We are happy you have chosen West Georgia College and
hope you find your academic career to be exciting, challenging,
and rewarding. During your stay here, you will have many oppor-
tunities for educational, cultural, and spiritual development.

As a student at W.G.C., you are an integral part of the aca-
demic community and have a direct voice in the affairs of the
institution. Students are represented on almost every faculty
committee and on the major advisory bodies of the institution.
The Student Government Association is a dynamic and influen-
tial organization on the campus.

Certain regulations are necessary to insure the orderly opera-
tion of an educational institution. The purpose of this handbook
is to acquaint you with these and with other helpful facts about
the college. I urge you to become familiar with all this information.

I wish also to urge that you take advantage of the services
provided by the Student Affairs staff. These include housing,
financial aid, counseling, student activities, placement, and health
services. We are devoting our efforts to helping you achieve your
full potential as an ethically sensitive and responsible member of
society.

Sincerely,

Tracy Stallings

Dean of Student Affairs

Ljreek

Dear Student:

As advisor to fraternities and sororities at West Georgia
College, I would like to take this opportunity to extend to each of
you a cordial welcome to our campus.

Fraternal organizations have made an important contribution
to the total life of our college and community. Colleges and uni-
versities have attached great significance to the role of fraternities
on their campus. Our fraternities are a source of pride and mean-
ingful involvement within the total college community. They pro-
vide an opportunity for self-government and an avenue for ex-
changing ideas that better one's experience beyond the classroom
programs.

Some students find their greatest interest, memories, and
friends in their fraternal associations. Experience in human rela-
tions, encouragement of intellectual growth, identification with
college tradition, and close fellowship are all products of viable
fraternity systems.

I encourage each of you to take advantage of these ex-
periences and make your college years a period of fond and
proud memories.

I look forward to our contact during your stay at West
Georgia and wish you success in your endeavors.

Sincerely,

Cecil Knotts

INTRODUCTION

Greeks at West Georgia College are an integral part of stu-
dent life and activity. Local social sororities and fraternities were
organized on the West Georgia campus in the 1968-1969 school
year. Since that time, they have affiliated with national organiza-
tions.

Fraternities and sororities have played a major role on the
West Georgia College campus for three years. They have a history
and tradition of attracting capable students as members. They
stand for good scholarship, moral and social responsibility for
their members. Their performances both as individuals and groups
has set a high tone for the college community.

Panhellenic, meaning "all-Greek," is the governing body to
which all sorority women belong. This organization provides a
unity among sorority chapters and fosters interfraternity coopera-
tion and understanding on the part of individual members. It also
realizes the importance and necessity of mutual understanding and
co-operation between the sororities and college administration and
community. The Council is composed of two representatives from
each of the five recognized sororities.

The Interfraternity Council is the unifying force for the fra-
ternity system. The IFC is composed of two representatives and
the president of each fraternity. The purpose of the organization
is to be the governing body of all the fraternities and to give ser-
vice. The IFC boosts the fraternity ideas on campus. It ac-
complishes those things collectively that individual chapters can-
not or should not be doing individually.

Rules for Rush are issued separately for men and women.
Copies of rush rules are available in the office of the Panhellenic
and IFC Advisor.

Students may be initiated into a sorority or fraternity when
that group has received permission from the Panhellenic and IFC
Advisor. If illegally initiated, the student and the group involved
may suffer a penalty.

No national fraternity or sorority shall establish a chapter
on the West Georgia College campus without the approval of the
Interfraternity Council or the Panhellenic Council and the Dean
of Student Affairs. Petitions should be addressed to the Assistant
Director of Student Activities.

Fraternity Row

Fraternities are moving to Lovvorn Road to establish a
"Fraternity Row". The first fraternities to make the move will
be Chi Phi, Kappa Sigma, and Tau Kappa Epsilon with the re-
maining fraternities to build in the near future.

Sororities will be housed in Boykin Hall, each having one
floor of the Hall.

intelligence; that such a group stimulates abilities and
principles upon which the quality of a civilization de-
pends; that such a group aids in the preservation of the
freedoms essential to the development of the individual;
but that such individuals are aware of the subjective
values that history proves wise.

able, beautiful, and highest."

ALPHA TAU OMEGA (Robert England, B-4)

Alpha Tau Omega Colony was founded as Kappa Phi Fra-
ternity in April of 1968. The founder felt that a strong fraternity

chapter has initiated over one hundred men and has a present
active brotherhood of 60 men.

Some of these have been first place for our homecoming float and
first place in regards to returning alumni for 1971, semifinalists in
basketball, softball, volleyball, and swimming, and "Best Over-
all Fraternity 1970-71."

The members of our brotherhood are outstanding in all phases
of student life at West Georgia, holding numerous positions in
student government, class officers, and different clubs. In aca-
demics, several brothers have ranked near the top in academic
standings.

Our first sweetheart was Miss Debbie Dowis. Debbie brought
recognition to us as being Miss Homecoming, 1972. She also was
honored by being voted Most Outstanding Female Greek the same
year. Debbie's sincerity and dedication to the brotherhood was
another factor for our fraternity's success.

The objectives of the fraternity are defined as "a solid founda-
tion built of a combination of real friendship and loyalty, nurtured
by cooperation and understanding", which we feel is a true repre-
sentation of Kappa Sigma.

LAMBDA CHI ALPHA (Mr. Harman, SS 319)

Lambda Chi Alpha has one word that embodies every facet

of human character ... a word that rallies all that is warm and

worthwhile in mankind. That word is Fraternity . . . that spirit

of brotherhood.

The Lambda Chi Alpha chapter was founded spring quarter

of 1971 by 42 active members. The chapter house is located

the founding history and the accomplishments of Lambda Chi

Alpha.

TAU KAPPA EPSILON (Steve Barnett, EDU 125)

(Dr. Lockhart, C 203)
Xi-Theta chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity is one of
the most dynamic chapters in the nation. A new $100,000 house,
consisting of eight two-bedroom units and a large chapter house,
is scheduled to be completed this fall at the site of the new
fraternity row complex just west of the campus on Lovvorn Road.
The chapter also retains a lodge on Oak Mountain situated on 42
acres of wooded land and has three lakes for fishing and swim-
ming.

Recently, the chapter has abolished the "pledge" program as
such and has adopted in its place the associate-member program
which was pioneered by Lambda Chi Alpha national. The program
eliminates any form of "hazing" or defamation of character, to
which the fraternity has always been opposed.

The Teke calendar is always filled with parties, special
events, and public service projects. Yet, academic achievement is a
primary concern.

Xi-Theta chapter, installed in June, 1971, developed locally
as Pi Kappa Sigma, which formed late in 1969. It is part of the
largest fraternity in the nation, boasting over 325 chapters in the
nation and Canada.

The national fraternity deems sterling character and staunch
uprightness to be the necessary qualifications for membership.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Militant "student power'' proponents are widely famous for
attracting attention to the need for greater student voice. But
oftentimes this great outcry for "student power" would segregate
students from the very people, channels and ideas that need to be
changed. It is folly to expect change for the common good if there
is no cooperation from all sectors of the college community.

In seeking a greater sphere of influence, students must never
forget that their opinions must be expressed in a mature, re-
sponsible, and novel manner. This is the purpose of the Student
Government of West Georgia College.

A secondary purpose of this organization is to serve the
student body of the institution. This is in part accomplished by
such services as the Faculty-Course Evaluation, the refrigerator
rental program, the legal counsel program, and the Consumer
Relations Board.

However, these services are only minute functions when com-
pared to the great volume of work that student representatives
undertake each day. Also, the SGA constantly urges every "able
bodied" student to tackle any issue which may be a part of his
own personal crusade.

Student Government's Organization
Executive Branch

On the national level this division of government has frequent-
ly been entitled the President's "official family". This branch of
Student Government is just that, including the President of the
Student Body, the Executive Staff, and the Executive Secretariat.

The role of the Executive Branch includes the coordination
of the entire Student Government. But even further, it includes
carrying out existing programs and the creation and direction of
new ones designed to benefit the student body.

The Executive Staff includes the President, Vice-President,
and Judiciary Chairman who are the chosen student body officers,
as well as the Minister of Academic Affairs and Minister of Stu-
dent Affairs who are appointed by the President.

1) The President is the chief executive of the Student Govern-
ment. He is charged with the responsibility of administering the
entire organization, as well as officially representing the student
body.

The President's duties as set in the Constitution allow him
great powers in budgeting matters, appointments, and initiating
new programs.

2) The Vice-President is the "second in charge". His con-
stitutional powers are to chair the Student Senate and preside in

the President's absence, but he is also allowed great flexibility in
initiating new programs upon consultation with the President.

3) The Judiciary Chairman is the sovereign head of the stu-
dent judiciary system. His powers are extensive in that he ad-
ministers the entire judiciary program which tries student cases
of misconduct.

4) The Minister of Academic Affairs, appointed by the Presi-
dent and approved by the Senate, is a "free lance" man who is
expert in the area of academic affairs. His position requires the
administration of the Faculty-Course Evaluation.

5) The Minister of Student Affairs, chosen as the other
minister, carries similar responsibilities in the area of student
affairs. However, this position also carries the added burden of
being administrative assistant to the President.

The Executive Secretariat is the advisory and administrative
cabinet to the chief executive. This cabinet is an appointed group
and includes:

1) The Secretary of Finance is chairman of the SGA Finance
Committee and keeper of all financial records relating to appropri-
ations made from Student Activities Fees. The Committee is re-
sponsible for allocating student monies and constantly oversees
each general area which spends student money.

2) The Secretary of Graduate Student Affairs advises and
makes recommendations to the Student Government in all ac-
tivities within the Graduate Division.

3) The Secretary of Public Relations is responsible for "off-
campus" publicity of the Student Government and student body.
He coordinates the annual "Equalizer Fund Drive" for financial
aid.

4) The Associate Secretary of Public Relations communicates
Student Government activities to the student body and recipro-
cates opinions back to the President and the SGA.

5) The Secretary of Student Placement and Financial Aid
formulates student policies concerning scholarships and loans.
In addition, he advises the WGC Placement Office on matters of
job pJacement.

6) The Secretary of Health and Housing recommends
changes in housing policies to the President and the SGA.

7) The Secretary of Student Activities is the expert for
student involvement in extracurricular activities. He also deals
with new programs which fall under the Student Activities area.

8) The Secretary of Academic Policies deals with the broad
area of college academic policy-making. He is an expert in this
area and recommends student policy to the President and the
SGA.

9) The Secretary of Student Services recommends action he
feels is necessary to improve the over-all quality of student ser-
vices, including the cafeteria, post office, book store, etc. He also
chairs the Consumer Relations Board.

Legislative Branch

The capabilities of Student Government are greatly heightened
by the involvement of many elected student representatives. The
bi-cameral legislature approves all action of the SGA while acting
in the limits of Robert's Rules of Order.

The Executive Council, is chaired by the Student Body Presi-
dent and consists of the Vice-President, Judiciary Chairman,
ministers, class presidents, executive hall council presidents, Union
Program Council Superintendent, and one member- at-large.

This "upper house" acts in a similar manner as the United
States Senate.

The Student Senate is chaired by the Vice-President of the
Student Body and consists of sixteen representatives elected from
each of the academic divisions, the class vice-presidents, and an
unlimited number of "temporary Senators" approved by the
elected Senators. The "temporary Senators" are given V2 vote
because they are not elected by the general student body. However,
we feel as though the temporary senator program is good because
it gives any student an opportunity to become involved in SGA,
without actually being elected.

Some of the specific powers and responsibilities of the Senate
are to introduce legislation, propose constitutional amendments
whenever needed, conduct investigations in any matters relating
to the college, and generally refer demands by the Student
Body of West Georgia in all possible areas.

Judicial Branch

The West Georgia College Judicial Branch exists to promote
justice and thus to serve the individual student, the campus and
the public interest. The court system is composed of the House
Council Courts, which hears cases dealing with infraction of rules
unique to each respective dorm, as assigned by the College Ad-
ministration or the Judiciary Chairman. A House District Court
was established to hear all appeals from the House Council
Courts.

Next comes the Main Court which hears all appeals from
the House District Courts, minor campus offenses, and cases
referred to it by the Judiciary Chairman.

The Judiciary Commission has the supreme power. It hears
cases and controversies involving questions regarding constitution-

ality, impeachment of officers of the Student Body, and appeals
from any of the other courts.

The various Judiciary courts are staffed by a chairman,
secretary and various other members.

STUDENT JUDICIARY

As Chairman of the Judiciary Commission, it is my re-
sponsibility for the action of the Judiciary Branch at West Georgia
College. The Judiciary system exists to promote justice and thus
to serve the individual student, the campus and the public interest.

As a student of WGC you are expected to have a responsible
attitude toward the regulations and standards of the college for
the laws of the community, and to respect the rights of your fellow
student.

The next four years should be a rewarding experience if you'll
each take time and evaluate your life and set your goal high. Work
toward these goals with a strong and unbending determination,
and each aspect of your life will be successful.

Jerry Coker
Judiciary Chairman

THE STUDENT JUDICIARY

The courts exist to promote justice and fairness, and thus to
serve the individual student, the campus, and the public interest,

STRUCTURE

House Council Courts These courts hear cases dealing with
infractions of rules unique to each respective dorm, as assigned
by the college administration.

Main Court This court hears all appeals from minor campus of-
fenses to cases referred to it by the Judiciary Chairman.

Judiciary Commission The Judicial Commission has exclusive
jurisdiction over cases and controversies involving questions
regarding constitutionality, impeachment of officers of the stu-
dent body, appeals from any of the other courts and the au-
thority to cite the defendant, his counsel, the opposing council,
a witness, or spectator for contempt of court, and has the au-
thority to try him for this offense and issue punishment therefor.
The jurisdiction of the Student Judiciary extends to all the

students of West Georgia College. The Student Judiciary shall

have jurisdiction to determine whether a student-defendant has

violated a regulation of West Georgia College.

The following are possible penalties which may be imposed

upon a student for an infraction. The list may be enlarged or

modified to meet the particular circumstances of any given case.

The courts of the Student Judiciary are not to be taken as
criminal courts. While this title guarantees due process and as-
sures fundamental fairness, it is not to be forgotten that speedy
justice is desirable. West Georgia College has vested the authority
in the Student Judiciary to determine whether a student is guilty
of commiting an offense and, if so, to determine the nature and
length of the disciplinary measure. The Student Judiciary shall
in no way interfere with the counseling, investigation, adminis-
trative, or other powers and duties of the Dean of Student Af-
fairs or other College Departments.

Any and all forms utilized by the Student Judiciary may be
obtained from the SGA Office. All students have the right to
appeal.

Any questions arising concerning Judicial procedures may be
answered by the Judicial Chairman. The office is located in the
SGA Office of the Student Center.

THINK ABOUT IT/

The streets of our country are in turmoil. The universities
are filled with students rebelling and rioting. Communists are
seeking to destroy our country. Russia is threatening us with her
might and the republic is in danger. Yes, danger from within and
without. We need law and order.

Adolph Hitler, 1932

COMPETITION is the LAW of the JUNGLE
COOPERATION is the LAW of CIVILIZATION

A Sea Of Swill

Lake Erie is dead. The beaches at Santa Barbara are de-
serted. The air in New York is dangerous to breathe. We are
drowning in a sea of swill; in a normal year the United States
"produces" 142 million tons of smoke and fumes, seven million
junked cars, twenty million tons of waste paper, forty-eight
billion used cans, and fifty trillion gallons of industrial sewage.
And presiding over this rampant process of environmental over-
loading is the most fearsome reality of all a population that is
still increasing like an uncontrollable cancer on the surface of the
globe. I know of no more sobering statistic in this regard than
between now and 1980 the number of women in the most fertile
age brackets, eighteen to thirty-two, will double.

PLACEMENT SERVICE

The chief goal of the Placement Office is to offer students
and alumni a professional placement service. Counseling in the
area of employment opportunities and placement is available to
all students currently enrolled, those who previously attended, and
those whose applications for admission have been accepted. The
Placement Office maintains continual communications with em-
ployers and assists students and alumni with employment oppor-
tunities which are available. Notification of on-campus interviews
is given to seniors in mailings, by announcement in the college
newspaper and on the placement bulletin boards. Dossiers are
prepared for all graduating seniors and for alumni who seek help
in placement. Personal data and credentials are sent to a prospec-
tive employer upon request from the registrant or the employer,
or when an employer requests referrals of qualified candidates. The
Placement Service also aids students in obtaining part-time em-
ployment, while in school, and furnishes information concerning
graduate schools, Peace Corps, armed services, and Civil Service
Examinations.

SELECTIVE SERVICE

Under the Selective Service Law a student who entered col-
lege prior to June, 1971, may be granted a student deferment. For
further information, contact the Registrar's Office.

COLLEGE STORE

For the convenience of the students, the College maintains a
bookstore on the campus, located in the College Auditorium
(ground floor), where students may purchase textbooks, pencils,
pens, notebooks, stationery, toilet articles, records, jewelry and
other items.

The cost of textbooks will depend upon the course taken and
whether books are purchased new or used. New texts will cost
approximately $45.00 per quarter; used texts, about one-third
less. Store hours are 8:00 a.m. 5:00 p.m., Monday through
Friday.

LAUNDRY SERVICE

vices for medical and surgical cases. The student must assume all
expenses incurred through the use of the hospital's facilities.

dents. The cost is not included in the fees paid to the college. A
brochure containing information on the policy will be mailed to
each student prior to registration. Payment should be made directly
to the representatives of the insurance company who will be on-
campus at the time of registration.

ministration and staff are expected not only to observe the traffic
regulations but to pay fines for violations of them.

of the Administration Building. Professional counselors are avail-
able to assist all students with their vocational, educational, person-
al, and other needs.

The Counseling Center is a part of the Office of Student Af-
fairs. Its primary purpose is to provide a place where a student
can ask questions and work out his problems, without fear of
being reported or criticized. The counselors here will either work

with the student or assist the student in finding the appropriate
person to go to. The Counseling Center is for all members of the
academic community faculty, student, or administrative.

Dr. Donald W. Adams
Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs

ADVISEMENT

Each student is assigned to a faculty member who serves as
his academic advisor and assists him in planning his program of
study. The student is expected to consult with his advisor on all
matters relating to his major and related work and to seek advice
on other questions concerning his academic program.

Records for each student are compiled from admission docu-
ments, grade reports, test results, and reports from faculty ad-
visors. Tests are available to assess academic potential, vocational
aptitude, and personal adjustment.

It is the student's responsibility to select and register
for courses, including prerequisites, which are needed for his
major program and which will enable him to satisfy degree re-
quirements at the time he expects to graduate. In selecting courses
he may step up one level of course numbers or down one, i.e., a
freshman may step up to a 200-level course or a junior may step
down to a ^00-level course. If the student registers for a course
for which he has received credit at West Georgia College or else-
where, he forfeits the course credit.

ORIENTATION

To assist new students in becoming adjusted to college life as
quickly as possible, the college conducts an orientation program
which consists of testing, preregistration advisement, special lec-
tures, and social gatherings. All new students are required to
participate.

REGISTRATION

Registration dates for each quarter are listed in the front part
of this publication. Several weeks before the beginning of each
quarter, students may obtain from the Registrar's Office a schedule
issue of the bulletin giving detailed instructions about registration
for that particular quarter.

A student is not registered until his class cards have been ap-
proved and his fees paid. Students must complete the process
on the dates set aside for registration.

Late Registration

Any student who fails to register on registration day or who
fails to pay his fees within the official period will be charged a
$5.00 late registration fee.

Student Load

A student not on academic warning or probation may register
for eighteen academic hours without special permission, and a
student on the Dean's List may register for twenty academic hours.
When a student is within 55 hours of graduation and has a cumula-
tive average of 2.0, he may carry up to the maximum of 21 aca-
demic hours for two quarters without special permission. During
the quarter of student teaching, no student may carry additional
courses without special permission from the chairman of the Divi-
sion of Education. No student is permitted to take more than a
two-thirds academic load if he works eight hours per day. Special
permission must be obtained from the Office of Academic Affairs
before any student may exceed loads authorized above.

A student whose course load drops below twelve academic
hours is, as of that date, ineligible to participate in college-
sponsored activities unless authorized by the Office of Academic
Affairs.

Course Changes (Drop-Add)

Routine changes in the student's schedule must be made by
the Registrar's Office within four days after classes begin. The
precise deadline can be found in the calendar at the beginning of
this catalogue.

After this date, permission to change, drop or add courses
must be obtained from the Office of Academic Affairs. Those who
drop without clearing through the Dean's or Registrar's offices
will receive an F in the course.

Withdrawals

Formal withdrawal from the College must begin with written
approval from the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs. At the
time approval is granted, specific instructions are given the stu-
dent for the completion of his formal withdrawal. The student is
not withdrawn until clearance has been obtained from the office
of the Dean of Student Affairs.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Except as noted below, all undergraduate degree candidates
are required to complete six consecutive quarters of physical
education beginning with the first quarter of residence. This re-
quirement specifically includes (1) PED 080 Foundations of
Physical Education and (2) three different activity courses which
are elected on the basis of interest, need, physical limitations and

arry-over value for post-college recreational life. Those student!
who cannot pass the prescribed swimming test must register for
the beginning swimming course in meeting requirement (2) above.

The remaining requirements may be satisfied by completion
of advanced level activity courses and/or participation in approved
extracurricular programs. Students who complete the participa-
tion requirements of specific intercollegiate athletics and/or sports
clubs may receive two quarters of credit but must be carried on an
appropriate class roll during the quarter in which the credit is
earned.

The physical education requirement may be modified for
entering students who are (1) over twenty-five years of age, (2)
barred from physical participation by a medical physician's recom-
mendation, or (3) military veterans with two or more years of active
duty. Students over twenty-five years of age and students with
physical limitations may substitute PED 150 or other approved
physical education courses to be determined by the Head of the
Department of Physical Education. Veterans are required to take
only three activity courses.

Students other than physical education majors and minors
should not schedule more than one physical education class in
any quarter.

RETENTION

Academic Warning

A student will be on academic warning when his cumulative
grade point average falls below 2.0. Penalty is not associated with
academic warning. The warning will be placed on his grade state-
ment as follows: ACADEMIC WARNING.

Dismissal

A full-time student failing to pass at least 5 hours in a given
quarter will be dismissed.

A freshman student failing to earn a cumulative grade point
average of at least 1.5 after attempting 45 hours (or three quarters)
will be dismissed.

Students other than freshmen will be evaluated quarterly on
the basis of cumulative grade point average for the total number
of hours attempted. Hours transferred will be included in deter-
mining the total hours attempted; however, the cumulative grade
point average will be computed only on work completed at West
Georgia College. A student failing to earn the cumulative grade

point average required for the total number of hours attempted as
indicated below will be dismissed.

1 - 45 hours 1.5

46 - 90 hours- 1.6

91 -135 hours- 1.7

135+- hours- 1.8

Dismissed students may be readmitted on probation 12 months
from the date of dismissal. Except for those readmitted on pro-
bation for a summer quarter, only students who will be able to
attain the required cumulative grade point average with a C
average at the end of the probation quarter will be considered for
readmission.

Probation

If readmitted, the dismissed student must attain the cumulative
grade point average required in the probation quarter or make
significant progress toward doing so (overall 2.0 in at least 10
hours). The student showing significant progress may remain on
probation an additional quarter in order to earn the cumulative
grade point average required.

Probation-Summer: A dismissed student may attend summer
quarter on probation in order to raise his cumulative grade point
average to the level required. If the level required is attained, the
student may enroll for the following fall quarter. If not, dismissal
will be resumed for the remainder of the original period. Students
earning the privilege to continue under this provision must also
earn an overall 2.0 (if not less than 10 hours) for the fall quarter.

Students on probation will not be eligible to participate in
activities requiring public performance or to hold a student office.
Students on probation may not register for courses which require
or might require public performances (e.g., choir, debating, and
dramatics). Music and speech majors are permitted to enroll in
such courses if their major requires it but are not permitted to
participate in off-campus performances.

Students on probation will not be eligible for employment as
student assistants. They are strongly advised to relinquish any
outside part-time employment.

ABSENCES

Each instructor determines the specific absence policy in his
class. He judges whether absences are justified and determines
whether the student should remain in a class or be dropped. In
all cases, the student is responsible for all material presented in
class and for all announcements and assignments.

Circulars inform the instructor of absences resulting from
college-sponsored activities. The infirmary issues a slip to each
student who is admitted to the infirmary. The student is expected
to explain all other absences to each of his instructors. Any non-
dormitory student who must be absent for more than three succes-
sive days is required to notify the office of the Dean of Student
Affairs.

In no case may a student miss more than twenty-five per cent
of his classes and receive credit for the course. Only under extra-
ordinary or justifiable circumstances, however, will an instructor
permit a student to reach this limit.

A full-time student dropped from two courses for excessive
absences will also be dismissed from college for the remainder of
the quarter.

If a student for legitimate reasons is unable to continue at-
tendance in a class he should formally drop the class, or withdraw
from the College; otherwise, a grade of F or WF will be recorded.

COLLEGE YEAR AND UNIT OF CREDIT

The College is organized on the quarter system. There are
three quarters of approximately eleven weeks and a summer
quarter of approximately ten weeks.

The quarter hour is the unit of credit in any course. It repre-
sents a lecture period of one fifty-minute period a week for a
quarter. A class having five lecture periods a week will thus give
credit for five quarter hours when completed satisfactorily. Two
laboratory or activity periods are the equivalent of one lecture
period.

SUMMER QUARTER

The summer quarter operates on a ten-week basis, with sixty-
minute periods. A student may take a regular work load of fifteen
hours, thus completing a full quarter's work.

GRADE REPORTS

At the end of each quarter, a full report showing courses
taken, grades earned, and grade-point average is mailed to each
student. If the student has been placed on academic warning, an
appropriate notation appears on the grade report.

EXAMINATIONS

Final examinations are held at the end of each quarter in ac-
cordance with a definite schedule. No final examinations may be

given in advance of the date scheduled unless authorized by the
Office of Academic Affairs.

GRADES AND GRADE POINTS

The following grading system is used:

Grade points
per credit hour

A Excellent 4

B Good 3

C Satisfactory 2

D Passing 1

F Failing

S Satisfactory WF Withdrew, failing

U Unsatisfactory AU Auditor

W Withdrew NC No Credit
WP Withdrew, passing I Incomplete

The grades of S and U are reserved for some courses which
carry credit but no grade points, such as Education 420-421-422
(Teaching Internship), certain seminar courses, and certain physi-
cal education courses.

A student who officially withdraws from a course receives a
grade of W, WP, or WF. The grade of W is given when the student
withdraws before an instructor has evidence of the quality of his
work in the course. The grade of WP is given when work already
done in a course is passing and when withdrawal occurs not later
than two weeks before the last day of classes. W and WP grades
are not computed in determining grade point averages. A WF
grade is counted as an F.

The NC grade is designed for freshman English only.

The I grade indicates that a student has been unable to com-
plete the work of a course. It is given only when work already done
is of acceptable quality. The required work must be completed
during the next quarter in residence; otherwise, the grade becomes
an F.

The grade point ratio is the grade average made on all aca-
demic work for which a student has received grades other than W,
WP, S, U, or I. It is obtained by dividing the total number of grade
points earned by the total number of hours attempted less those
hours for which grades of W, WP, S, U, or I have been given. Only
professional physical education courses are included in
this computation.

Twenty hours of work in which a student has made the grade
of D or F and in which he has later made a higher grade will be
eliminated in computing his grade point-average for graduation.
No more than ten hours of the above 20 can be in the student's
major field. All entries, however, remain a part of the student's
permanent record. Repeating a course more than once requires
the approval of the chairman of the division of the student's major.
No course in which a student has made a C or above may be re-
peated.

DEANS LIST

Students who achieve a grade point ratio of 3.5 on a minimum
of 15 quarter hours will be placed on the Dean's List for that
quarter.

CLASSIFICATION

Freshmen are those students who have less than 40 quarter
hours of academic credit; sophomores, those with 40 or more
quarter hours of academic credit but less than 85; juniors, those
with 85 or more quarter hours of academic credit, but less than
130; seniors, those with 130 or more hours of academic credit.

GRADUATION WITH HONORS

West Georgia College awards degrees with honors to those
who have grade point averages on all courses attempted as follows:

3.5 honors

3.8 high honors

3.9 highest honors

Those candidates who have transferred from other institutions
will qualify for honors if they meet all three of the following
criteria:

(1) completion of 100 hours in residence at West Georgia
College

(2) attainment of an honors grade-point average on all work
attempted at West Georgia College

(3) attainment of an honors grade-point average on the com-
bined total of all courses attempted at West Georgia and
other institutions.

CATALOG REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION

Each student has the option of graduating under the catalogue
in effect at the time of entry or any subsequent catalogue; how-
ever, he is required to comply with all of the requirements of one
catalogue. If his continuous progress toward a degree is inter-
rupted, he may be required to graduate under the provisions of a
catalogue more recent than the one current when he enrolled.

Dear Resident Student:

Welcome to the residence halls of West Georgia College. It
is my sincere desire, and that of the residence hall staff, that you
will become deeply involved with your living environment during
the year. We hope that your living center will become more than
a place to sleep and study. We hope that you will make this your
home, your community and through your creative participation
the most exciting place on campus.

Sincerely,

Charles E. Smith
Director of Housing

STUDENT HOUSING

Residence hall living at West Georgia College offers a signifi-
cant contribution to the total educational development of each
resident student as he learns from individuals of varied back-
grounds, experiences, and personal philosophies. Harmonious
living, broadened horizons, and increased human understanding
are all desired results of the residence experience. The environ-
ment of a hall is largely dependent upon the cooperation, interest
and participation of each student. Individual responsibility and
initiative are essential characteristics of communal living. Most
of the West Georgia living centers have been constructed in the
last ten years. They not only meet the physical needs of comfort,
safety and attractive surroundings, but also aid in the development
of a disciplined mind, a social consciousness and a large degree
of responsibility for governing a group's affairs.

House Councils

The House Council is the governing body of each hall. Mem-
bership on the House Council is composed of not more than two
residents from each Resident Advisor's area of responsibil-
ity. House Council representatives are elected at the beginning of
the fall quarter for a nine month term during which time they must
maintain good academic and disciplinary standing.

The House Council is charged with the responsibility of creat-
ing an educational environment in the halls by establishing com-
mittees to plan and execute programs of an intellectual, cultural,
religious, social and athletic nature. The House Council, as the
governing body of the hall, also has the responsibility of establish-
ing regulations pertaining to the welfare and conduct of the resi-
dents of their hall. The House Council may determine such things
as TV viewing hours; visitation hours; and social fund ex-
penditures. Changes in regulations will not be considered unless
they are first approved by the House Council. Infractions of hall
regulations or cases involving conduct unbecoming a West Georgia
College student are heard by a House Judicial Committee which
renders decisions and/or recommendations to the Director of
Housing.

Residence Hall Staff

Each hall is guided by staff personnel consisting of hall direc-
tors who have an interest in and an aptitude for student personnel
work. Assisting hall directors are undergraduate head residents
and resident advisors who are chosen on the basis of maturity,
character, and breadth of college experience. Each hall elects its
own house council to provide the students with an atmosphere
which contributes to the intellectual and social experiences of
each student.

Housing Policy

Provided that space is available, all freshman students and
sophomore female students will be required to reside on campus
unless they are married or are living with parents, relatives or leg-
al guardians. Junior and senior women may live off campus with
parental permission. All students who are required to or desire
to live on campus must complete an application form and file it
with the Housing Office.

Application Procedures

A housing application will be sent to the student after he has
been tentatively accepted by the Admissions Office or readmitted
by the Registrar. Except for applications for the summer quarter,
a $25 deposit must accompany all completed housing application
forms when they are returned to the Housing Office. The $25 de-
posit should be either a check or money order made payable to
West Georgia College.

Sophomore, junior and senior students who desire housing
for the following year will file applications and select rooms dur-
ing the spring quarter.
Assignments

Assignments for sophomore, junior and senior students for
the following academic year are made during the spring quarter.
All other housing assignments are made prior to the beginning of
each quarter with the majority of assignments being made prior
to the fall quarter. Once an assignment has been made, it will be
considered binding for the duration of the academic year (Sep-
tember-June). Notifications of new assignments are sent prior to
the beginning of each quarter.
Housing Agreement

This agreement is binding for the entire academic year (fall,
winter, and spring quarters). The only automatic exceptions will
be those students graduating at the end of a quarter or entering
college housing at the beginning of the winter or spring quarter.
Those students entering college housing during the year will nor-
mally be expected to remain until the end of the spring quarter.
Exceptions will also be made for student teachers who leave col-
lege housing to fulfill their student teaching requirements.

Housing deposits will be refunded if a student submits a writ-
ten notification of cancellation to the Housing Office by September
1 for the fall quarter, December 15 for the winter quarter and
March 15 for the spring quarter. Cancellation of college housing
must involve one of the following:

1. Release from the housing agreement by the Director
of Housing;

2. Formal withdrawal from West Georgia College;

3. Denial of permission to register for academic or disciplinary
reasons;

4. A decision not to attend West Georgia College.
Room Changes

The Housing Office recognizes that it cannot be held respon-
sible for granting all room assignment preferences. The Housing
Office also recognizes that conflicts do arise occasionally which
necessitate change of accommodations; consequently, the Housing
Office has adopted a flexible room change policy which normally
occurs 10 days to two weeks after the beginning of each quarter.
The responsibility for making room change arrangements rests
solely with the student and must be approved by the residence
hall staff and the Housing Office.
Guests

Overnight visitors of the same sex may be entertained in the
hall. All guests must conform to hall regulations, and the student
hostess is held responsible for her guest. Guests must have per-
mission from the occupants of a room before they can stay there
overnight.

Opening and Closing of the Halls

Prior to the end of each quarter, students will be notified of
the official closing date of the halls. Students are expected to va-
cate their rooms not later than the official closing date. Notifica-
tion will also be provided concerning the reopening of the halls
for the following quarter. Students should not plan to arrive any
earlier than the official opening date.

RESIDENCE HALL FACILITIES

Student Rooms

Room keys are issued only by the Housing Office. Keys should
never be duplicated. Lost or misplaced keys will be replaced by
the Housing Office at a cost of $1.00. The $5.00 deposit which you
paid when you received your assignment will be refunded if your
room is in good condition and your key returned when you check
out of housing.

Rooms are equipped to meet average student needs. Residents
are held responsible for the furnishings in their rooms, and damage
to college property will be charged to the resident. Furnishings
may not be moved from one room to another. Furnishings in lob-
bies, lounges, etc., are inventoried and may not be moved from
those areas. Screens are not to be removed and clothing or other
articles are not to be placed on Venetian blinds as this has a ten-
dency to bend and/or rust the blinds. Fans are permitted
but should not be placed in windows.

Upkeep of student rooms is the responsibility of the individual
resident. Cleaning materials for your use are provided in the cus-
todial closets in each hall. Trash should be placed in receptacles
and not swept into the corridor. These supplies may be checked
out through the Resident Advisor. From time to time students have
requested custodians to perform special cleaning services. This
practice is not authorized. It is embarrassing for the custodians
to refuse your requests; however, if they do provide such services,
they may lose their jobs. Custodians will empty trash cans placed
outside your door and return the empty container. Empty contain-
ers should be removed from the corridor immediately.

Laundry

Coin operated washers and dryers are located in each hall.
Machines which are out of service should be reported to your Resi-
dent Advisor so they may be tagged with an "out of order" sign
and reported to the maintenance department. Money lost in wash-
ers or dryers will be refunded at the Plant Operations Office in
the New Maintenance Building. Students desiring to subscribe to
the Apex Linen Service should contact the Housing Office
secretaries.
Kitchens

Kitchens are available in all halls for preparing snacks and
hot drinks. Although food preparation is not permitted in student
rooms, nonperishable food for immediate consumption (i.e. care
packages from home) will be permitted only if stored in a sealed
container. Apparatus for the preparation of food is not permitted
in student rooms except for storage.

Bulletin Boards

Bulletin boards are kept up to date by your Resident Advisor.
Read the notices on your bulletin board! Unauthorized and out-
dated material will be removed from the bulletin board. If you
desire to post a notice, contact your Resident Advisor.

Luggage Storage

Limited space is available in each hall for luggage storage. Non-
essential luggage should be taken home at your earliest opportun-
ity. Storage between spring and summer and summer and fall quar-
ters is not permitted due to limited space, maintenance schedules,
and a concern for theft.

Telephones

Public telephones are conveniently located in each residence
hall. All residence halls are now wired so that private phones may
be installed in a student's room by making special arrangements
with the Southern Bell Telephone Company in Carrollton. The
occupants of each room are responsible for paying the bill directly
to the telephone company.

Lobbies, Lounges, Recreation Rooms

Each hall has a section set aside as a lobby. This area is used
to greet parents and guests and is often used for receptions. Since
this is a public area of the hall, students are expected to be proper-
ly dressed.

Vending Service

Vending services are available in each residence hall and pro-
vide candy, cold drinks, pastry and cigarettes. Money lost
in machines due to malfunctioning is promptly refunded at the
office of the Director of Auxiliary Enterprises located in the Stu-
dent Center.
Privacy

It is the intention of the Housing Office to ensure, as much as
possible, the individual student's right to privacy in a residence hall
room. Insofar as students do not violate institutional regulations
or civil law, they may be assured that their privacy will not be
violated by college officials. The college does reserve the right
to inspect student rooms at times convenient to the staff to insure
health and safety standards. Generally, notification for such an
inspection will be given in advance. It must be pointed out, how-
ever, if a college official has reason and probable cause to believe
that a law is being violated or an institutional regulation broken,
he has the legal right to enter and search a student's room. If a
violation is consequently discovered, disciplinary action may be
taken by the college, but there will be no civil action taken against
the student. Before any law enforcement officer has the right to
enter and search any student's room, he must either secure per-
mission from the student or be in possession of a duly authorized
search warrant. The Resident Advisors in each residence hall are
in possession of a master key. These keys exist primarily for the
convenience and safety of the students and are not to be used by
Resident Advisors to enter a student's room without permission.
Summer Housing

A separate application must be submitted for the summer
quarter. A housing deposit is not required for the summer quarter.

Off-Campus Housing

The Housing Office maintains a partial listing of off-campus
housing available in the Carrollton area. This information is listed
on file in the Housing Office and is not available for mailing to
individuals.

COLLEGE HOUSING REGULATIONS

Curfew and Key Sign-Out System

The official closing hour for women's residence halls is 12 mid-
night Sunday through Thursday and 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday

evenings. Only first quarter female freshman students are required
to be in their residence hall at these times.

All second and third quarter freshmen, sophomore, junior,
or senior female students who plan to be away from the residence
hall after the closing hour must sign out at the front desk, leaving
her name and destination (preferably a telephone number). This
may be done in a sealed envelope. If the student plans to return
to the residence hall before 7 a.m., she may sign out for a front
door key. If the student plans to return sometime the next day
(after 7 a.m.), she still must sign out but not necessarily for a front
door key.

No female student will be required to sign in or out of the res-
idence hall during the normal open hours. All students who have
signed out for a front door key must return it to the properly desig-
nated area before 9 a.m. Students who return their keys late will
be fined $1.00. A student losing the key will be fined $10.00. Any
student found guilty of abusing the key privilege will receive
automatic disciplinary probation.

A first quarter freshman woman may be absent from her resi-
dence hall after the closing hour during the week (Sunday through
Thursday) when visiting the home of members of her immediate
family, or places designated by her parents by written note or tele-
phone conversation. She must sign out for these absences, indi-
cating her destination and time of return. First quarter freshmen
women students absent from the residence hall on Friday or Sat-
urday evening after the closing hour will be assumed to be visiting
her home or attending to personal business. Knowledge of her
whereabouts during these weekend periods should not be the re-
sponsiblity of West Georgia College.

Open House Policy

Male students may visit female residence hall rooms, and
female students may visit male residence hall rooms, under the
following conditions:

a) All residents in each residence hall should be given an op-
portunity to vote by secret ballot in order to determine
whether or not there will be open houses in that residence
hall, and, if so, on what days and for what hours. Each resi-
dence hall also has the right by majority vote to determine
that there will be no visitation privileges in student rooms.

b) The open house times to be decided upon by each resi-
dence hall may not exceed the maximum limits established
by the college. These limits are: Not before Noon on any
day, and not after the closing hour of the women's residence
halls (12 midnight Sunday-Thursday, 2 a.m. Friday and
Saturday).

c) Where visitation privileges have been approved by the resi-
dents and the hall council, all guests visiting in the student
living quarters should be escorted.

d) There will be shared responsibility between male and fe-
male students who are in violation of the open house policy.

e) Once the days and hours for open house have been deter-
mined by the residents and the hall council, they should
be registered and kept on file in the Housing Office.

f ) Each residence hall reserves the right at any time to modify
the open house schedule in order to meet the changing
needs of the residents.

Appliances and Electrical Equipment Policy

The following items are permitted in the residence halls pro-
vided they are UL (Underwriters' Laboratories) approved:
-Study lamps -Electric shavers

-Typewriters -Hair dryers

-Televisions* -Hair setters

-Radios -Heating pads

-Record players -Fans

-Tape recorders -Electric blankets

-Clocks Tmmersable coffee percolators

-Extension cords (not exceeding 8', limit two per room)
-Refrigerators (not exceeding SGA rental specifications, i.e.,

117 volts, 45 watts, 0.4 amps)
-Ungrounded television antennas
*Limit one per room
The following items are prohibited in the residence halls: Hot
plates, electrical fry pans, electric boilers, waffle irons, air con-
ditioners, immersion coils, extension cords with multiple outlets
(cube taps), irons (may be stored but not used in rooms), popcorn
poppers with open coils or with separate, exposed heating units.
These items are prohibited primarily because of their potential
as a source of fire in the residence hall. Secondarily, the use of
food preparation appliances tend to increase and encourage pests
such as roaches, rats, and other undesirable insects.

Pets

Pets are not allowed in the hall at any time, with the exception
of tropical fish or turtles. Each resident is permitted one acquarium
with a maximum capacity of 10 gallons. All electrical and mechan-
ical equipment must be UL approved.
Fire arms, fireworks and inflammables

Candles, fire crackers, explosives and chemicals such as gaso-
line, benzine and naptha may not be used or stored in student
rooms. (See Georgia Regulations Criminal Code, Section 26-1404
and 26-1405). The possession of fire arms, projectile propelling

devices, ammunition, or weapons of any kind is prohibited in stu-
dent rooms. Arrangements for storage of fire arms must be made
with the college security office.

Fire and Life Safety Equipment

At the beginning of each quarter instructions will be given by
the Resident Advisor as to what route to follow in case of fire. This
route will be posted on the bulletin board and it is your respon-
sibility to be familiar with it. All students are required to cooperate
completely in any fire drills conducted during the year. During a
fire drill or actual fire, wear your shoes and raincoat while vacating
the building and also carry a towel which can be placed over your
face to help protect against heat and smoke.

Escape diagrams, fire extinguishers, alarm systems, and fire
safety doors are all classified as life safety equipment. Tampering
with such equipment endangers the lives of others and will not be
tolerated. Setting fires or turning in false alarms is a serious of-
fense (State Regulation Criminal Code, Section 26-1501, 26-1502,
91-107A, 91-9906).
Gambling

Gambling in the residence halls is not permitted; however, a
relaxed game of cards is allowed within the rooms.
Vendors and salesmen

For the protection of students, and to prevent interruption of
studies, solicitation or selling is not permitted in the residence
halls. If you encounter a sales person in the residence hall, notify
your Resident Advisor or Hall Director immediately.
Theft

The college is not responsible for loss or damage to personal
property. Thefts which occur in the residence halls should be re-
ported immediately to the Head Resident and the College Security
Office. Students are reminded to lock their doors whenever they
leave their rooms.
Bicycle and Motorcycle Storage

The storage of bicycles and motorcycles in student rooms or
elsewhere in the residence hall is prohibited.
Search and Seizure

It is the policy of the Student Affairs Division and the Housing
Office in particular to conform to existing laws when working with
those cases where a search of a student's room in a campus resi-
dence hall is involved.

BUSINESS POLICY

The college year is divided into three quarters of approximate-
ly eleven weeks each and a summer quarter of approximately ten
weeks. Expenses are charged and payable by the quarter since
each quarter constitutes a separate unit of operation. A student
may enroll at the beginning of any quarter.

To insure financial operation in conformity with the policies
of the Board of Regents, certain regulations must be observed.
Fees and charges are due and payable at the beginning of each
quarter at the time of registration. Fees and charges may be paid
in cash or by check in the exact amount of student's bill. If any
check is not paid on presentation to the bank on which it is drawn,
a service charge of $5.00 will be made. When two checks
have been returned by any student's bank without payment, his
check cashing privileges will be suspended. Registration at the
beginning of each quarter is not complete until all fees and charges
have been paid.

Personal checks made out to "CASH," with proper identifi-
cation, may be cashed at the Business Office cashier's window
in an amount not to exceed $25.00.

APPLICATION FEES AND DEPOSITS

Application Fee

An application fee of $10.00 is required for all students apply-
ing for the first time (except auditors). This fee should be sub-
mitted with the official application blank. It is non-refundable.
Auditors who later apply for admission as regular students will
be charged this fee.

Former Students

It is necessary that the Registrar know of the student's inten-
tion to return in order that appropriate records can be prepared
and appointments for registration can be made.

Housing Deposit

Except for students applying for the summer quarter, a $25
deposit must accompany all housing applications. This deposit
will be refunded during spring quarter. The deposit will be re-
funded if cancellation of the housing request is received in writing
by the Housing Office not later than September 1, for the fall
quarter, December 15, for the winter quarter, and March 15, for
the spring quarter.

A separate application must be submitted for the summer
quarter. A housing deposit is not required for the summer quarter.

Key Deposit

A five dollar key deposit will be required of all students as-
signed to college housing when they receive their housing assign-
ment and key. This deposit is refundable if the room is left in good
condition and the student presents his key and check out card to
the Housing Office.

MATRICULATION, HEALTH, ACTIVITY FEES

All students pay the established matriculation, health and
activity fees which are included in the figures shown below. These
fees cover all laboratory and other general fees of the College.
Each student is entitled to admission to most of the entertainment
and athletic events sponsored by the College. The student will
also receive the College yearbook and a subscription to the
College newspaper.

BREAKAGE DEPOSITS AND SPECIAL FEES

There are no general laboratory fees, but there are a few
courses offered that require special fees, such as private music
lessons. The catalogue description of a course indicates the amount
of any special fee that may be required for those registering for
the course.

There are no laboratory breakage deposit fees as such. How-
ever, students will be held responsible for any breakage they cause.

TABLE OF CHARGES (PER QUARTER)

Registration at the beginning of each quarter is not complete
until all fees and charges have been paid.

2. Payable to West Georgia College for books (Cost approxi-
mately $45.00.)

3. Payment for student insurance is made directly to the insurance
agent.

STUDENT REGULATIONS
AND STANDARDS

Students are admitted to West Georgia College with the ex-
pectation that they will have developed acceptable personal
standards of conduct and ethics. Also, students are expected to
have a responsible attitude toward regulations and standards of
the college, and the laws of the community, state and nation, and
to respect the standards of their fellow students. Students assume
responsibility for their own conduct, and through their hall coun-
cils and the student judiciary system, accept responsibility for the
behavior of their fellow students.

College regulations go into effect at the time a student matricu-
lates, and continue until the time of graduation or withdrawal.
By the act of registration the student implies acceptance of the
standards and regulations which are stated in this handbook and
in other publications of the college. Students should realize that
any behavior which reflects adversely upon the students of West
Georgia College or upon the College will make the individual in-
volved liable for disciplinary action. This is true whether the inci-
dent occurs on campus or off campus.

Dress

West Georgia College students are receiving an education pre-
paring them for entrance into various professions. During one's
college years, one should develop a practice of dressing in a man-
ner which is appropriate for the occasion and in good taste.

One should remember that as a West Georgia College student,
he is a representative of the college in the eyes of the public
both on-campus and off-campus and should, therefore, dress
accordingly.

Campus dress is treated primarily as a matter of individual taste
and style. Students, however, are encouraged to be neat and clean
and to exercise good judgment.

Smoking

No smoking is permitted in the gymnasium or the library except
in special areas. Smoking, whether by faculty or students, is not
permitted in the classrooms while class is in session. Smoking is
permissible in the classroom between classes and at other times,
provided appropriate receptacles are used.

Changing Student Regulations and Standards

The Student Government Association shall be empowered
to recommend desired changes through the offices of the Dean
of Student Affairs and the President of the College. Students shall
be notified of approved changes through announcement in the
West Georgian. Changes will become effective upon publication.

Regents' Statement on Disruptive Behavior

The following is the policy of the Board of Regents regarding
disruptive behavior in any institution of the University System.
The rights, responsibilities and prohibitions contained in this
Statement are incorporated as a part of these regulations.

The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia
reaffirms its policies to support fully freedom of expression by
each member of the academic community and to preserve and
protect the rights and freedom of its faculty members and students
to engage in debate, decision, peaceful and non-disruptive protest
and dissent. The following statement relates specifically to the
problem described below. It does not change or in any way in-
fringe upon the Board's existing policies and practices in support
of freedom of expression and action. Rather, it is considered neces-
sary to combat the ultimate effect of irresponsible disruptive and
obstructive actions by students and faculty which tend to destroy
academic freedom and the institutional structures through which
it operates.

In recent years a new and serious problem has appeared on
many college and university campuses in the nation. Some stu-
dents, faculty members, and others have on occasion engaged in
demonstrations, sit-ins, and other activities that have clearly and
deliberately interfered with the regular and orderly operation of
the institution concerned. Typically, these actions have been the
physical occupation of a building or campus area for a protracted
period of time or the use or display of verbal or written obscenities
involving indecent or disorderly conduct.

These actions have gone beyond all heretofore recognized
bounds of meetings for discussion, persuasion, or even protest in
that: (1) acquiescence to demands of the demonstrators is the
condition for dispersal, and (2) the reasonable and written direc-
tions of institutional officials to disperse have been ignored. Such
activities thus have become clearly recognizable as an action of
force, operating outside all established channels on the campus,
including that of intellectual debate and persuasion which are at
the very heart of education.

The Board of Regents is deeply concerned by this new prob-
lem. Under the Constitution of the State of Georgia, under all
applicable court rulings, and in keeping with the tradition of higher
education in the United States, the Board is ultimately responsible
for the orderly operation of the several institutions of the Univer-
sity System and the preservation of academic freedom in these
institutions. The Board cannot and will not divest itself of this
responsibility.

Of equal or even greater importance, such action of force as
has been described above destroys the very essence of higher edu-
cation. This essence is found in the unhampered freedom to study,
investigate, write, speak, and debate on any aspect or issue of life.
This freedom, which reaches its full flowering on college and uni-
versity campuses, is an essential part of American democracy,
comparable to the jury system or the electoral process.

For these reasons and in order to respond directly and specifi-
cally to this new problem the Board of Regents stipulates that any
student, faculty member, administrator, or employee, acting in-
dividually or in concert with others, who clearly obstructs or dis-
rupts any teaching, research, administrative, disciplinary or public
service activity, or any other activity authorized to be discharged
or held on any campus of the University System of Georgia is
considered by the Board to have committed an act of gross irre-
sponsibility and shall be subject to disciplinary procedures, possibly
resulting in dismissal or termination of employment.

The Board reaffirms its belief that all segments of the academic
community are under a strong obligation and have a mutual re-
sponsibility to protect the campus community from disorderly,

disruptive, or obstructive actions which interfere with academic
pursuits of teaching, learning, and other campus activities.

The Board of Regents understands that this policy is consis-
tent with resolutions adopted by the American Association of
University Professors in April, 1968, by the Association of Ameri-
can Colleges in January, 1968, and by the Executive Committee
of the Association for Higher Education in March, 1968, condemn-
ing actions taken to disrupt the operations of institutions of higher
education. (Minutes, 1968-69, pp. 166-169).

Invitation of Speakers to Campus

Chartered groups of West Georgia College students shall be
allowed to invite and hear any person of their own choosing. In
order to safeguard the College and the College community from
abuse and/or disorder and to allow for adequate preparation and
orderly scheduling, the student group must request and receive
permission through the offices of the Dean of Student Affairs or
the Dean of Academic Affairs as appropriate. Invitations to out-
side speakers must always represent the desire of a chartered stu-
dent group and not the will of an external individual or group.

It should be made clear to the academic and larger community
that sponsorship of guest speakers does not necessarily imply ap-
proval or endorsement of the views expressed, either by the spon-
soring group or the Institution.

The President of the College or his authorized representative
may cancel a speaker's reservation when there is clear and present
danger that the appearance would threaten the orderly operation
of the College. Such cancellation shall be communicated to the
sponsoring organization through the Dean of Student Affairs.

Demonstrations

Recognizing the rights of free speech and peaceful assembly
as fundamental to the democratic process, the College supports
the rights of students to express their views or to peacefully pro-
test and peacefully dissent against actions and opinions with which
they disagree.

On-campus demonstrations, cleared at least 48 hours in ad-
vance through the office of the Dean of Student Affairs, may be
conducted in areas which are generally available to students, pro-
vided such demonstrations are conducted in an orderly manner,
do not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian traffic, do not inter-
fere with classes, scheduled meetings and ceremonies, or with
other events and processes of the College. In no case shall demon-
strators be permitted to enjoin the freedoms and rights of other
members of the college community.

Non-members of the college community shall not be permitted
to engage in activities which disrupt, obstruct, or in any way inter-
fere with the pursuits of teaching, learning, campus activities, or
any college process.

Honor Commission

An honor commission is available for both students and faculty.
This is a means with certain procedures for processing complaints
of both faculty and students in the area of academic affairs and
normally related to dishonorable conduct in course work.

A. The professor may determine and enforce the penalty in
private consultation with the student and then file a report of the
incident with the Dean of Academic Affairs.

B. If the incident cannot be resolved on a private basis satis-
factory to both professor and student, either has recourse to the
Honor Commission. In addition to sponsoring among students
an educational campaign aimed at promoting academic honesty,
the Honor Commission acts as a trial body for the determination
of guilt and the recommendation of punishment in suspected in-
dividual cases.

(1) The Honor Commission shall consist of five student mem-
bers, one student from each undergraduate class and one
graduate student, and five faculty members, one from each
academic division.

(2) The student members of the Commission shall be appointed
by the President of the Student Government Association,
with the consent of the Dean of Student Affairs and the ap-
proval of the Student Government Association.

(3) The faculty members of the Commission shall be appointed
by the Dean of Academic Affairs upon the recommendation
of the chairmen of the respective academic divisions and
shall serve for two years. In the first year, two members
(chosen by lot) shall serve for only one year.

C. The policies and organization of the Honor Commission
shall be subject to revision by majority vote of the Honor Commis-
sion with the consent of the Advisory Council and ratification of
the Student Government Association.

These policies on cheating and plagiarism were designed by
a joint student-faculty committee and have been ratified by both
students and faculty. It is important to recognize that provisions
for due process and the protection of the rights of both students
and faculty are present in the design of the policies. They should
therefore be followed and protected.

Statement on Drugs and Drug Abuse

The following statements of fact and/or policy are issued by
the West Georgia College Advisory Council to supplement state-

merits found in the catalog and in the student handbook, and are
designed to emphasize, in fairness to all members of the college
community, the serious and/or dangerous consequences resulting
from the illegal use, possession or distribution of marijuana, LSD
or other mind-altering drugs, and the unauthorized use of drugs,
such as amphetamines, barbiturates, and tranquilizers, which are
sometimes prescribed for medical purposes.

While there is admittedly much controversy as to whether or
not marijuana should be classified as a narcotic or dangerous drug,
the fact remains that the possession or transfer (including gifts)
of marijuana and LSD is illegal under both federal and state laws
and is punishable under either. Under federal laws the first offense
involving illegal possession or transfer of marijuana is punishable
by imprisonment of from two to ten years and a fine of $20,000.
Under Georgia law the first offense is a felony and is punishable
by imprisonment for not to exceed two years, a fine of $2,000 or
both, and the loss of certain civil rights. For second and third of-
fenses the penalties are more severe.

It should be especially noted that "any person who, by himself,
agent, or through any other person, gives, sells, offers for sale,
barters, or exchanges with any person any narcotic in violation
of the provisions of said Chapter (79A-8, of the Uniform Narcotic
Drug Act) shall be guilty of a felony and upon the first conviction
thereof shall be punished by imprisonment in the penitentiary for
not less than five nor more than ten years. " The penalty for sub-
sequent offenses is a felony punishable by imprisonment for a
period of not less than ten and not more than twenty years, with
possible life sentence at the discretion of the judge.

Agents of the federal and state government are engaged in
intensive and thorough investigation on a continuing basis through-
out the state. The law requires that when a felony is committed
the civil authorities shall handle the situation rather than the col-
lege authorities. Technically the law would say that failure to do
so would involve compounding a felony.

Under such circumstances it is clear that the policy of the col-
lege must be that which is stated in the College Catalog (1972-73):
"Students involved in civil or criminal offenses will be treated as
citizens of the community."

Clearly, the college cannot protect members of the college
community who commit such offenses. In "Student Freedoms and
Responsibilities: A Working Paper, " published by the American
Association of State Colleges and Universities, it is pointed out
that "Students should not expect that university officials will come
to their defense for activities committed in violation of civil
codes." It ought to be added that this applies to all members of
the college community.

It should not be inferred from this that we are callous or in-
different about what happens to members of our college commun-
ity. Quite the contrary. We have a very deep concern and sympathy
for those who might find themselves in violation of the law, but
understanding, sympathy, and concern are about all that we can
offer, for the courts and the public no longer regard college stu-
dents as a special group whose violations of law are to be treated
as pranks or youthful exuberance and experimentation.

We recognize that some students, freed from restrictions at
home, do not fully recognize the implications of full accounta-
bility and responsibility for their actions. It is primarily for this
reason that the above explicit statements are made.

DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES

When a student is charged with violation of conduct regula-
tions, disposition of the student's case shall be afforded according
to Constitutional requirements, due process and in keeping with
the procedures outlined below:

1. All complaints of alleged violation by a student shall be
made in writing to the Office of Student Affairs. Each complaint
shall contain a statement of facts outlining each alleged act of
misconduct.

2. The student shall be notified in writing that he is accused
of a violation and will be asked to come in for a conference to
discuss the complaint.

3. At the above mentioned conference, the student shall be
advised that:

a. He may, in writing, admit or deny the alleged violation, waive
all further hearing, and request that the college official take
appropriate action.

b. He may, in writing, admit or deny the alleged violation. If
the case involves the possibility of suspension or expulsion,
the Office of Student Affairs shall refer the case to the judi-
cial system for full disposition. Otherwise, the Office of Stu-
dent Affairs shall make full disposition of the case, except
that the Office of Student Affairs may, for good cause, refer
any case to the judicial system. Cases otherwise referable by
the Office of Student Affairs to the judicial system may, in
very unusual instances, be referred to the Faculty Committee
where there exists good cause, e.g., the likelihood of serious
emotional damage to the student defendant or others con-
nected with the case.

4. The student is expected to notify his or her parents
or guardian of the charges, and these persons may request a con-'
ference with the college officials prior to the hearing.

5. The decision reached at the hearing will be communicated
in writing to the student and, i^ the student is a minor or if he so
requests, to his or her parents or guardian; it will specify the ac-
tion taken by the hearing body and the interest of the college which
has been adversely affected by the conduct which necessitated
the disciplinary action. Upon the request of the student or his
parents or guardian, a summary of the evidence will be
communicated.

6. The student shall be notified in writing of his or her right
to appeal the decision of the hearing body. In cases of appeal, any
action assessed by the hearing body shall be suspended pending
the outcome of the appeal to the President of the college. A copy
of the final decision shall be mailed to the student and, if the stu-
dent is a minor or if he so requests, to his parents or guardian.

RIGHTS OF STUDENT DEFENDANT

In formal hearings, the student defendant shall be afforded
all rights required by due process including:

a. The right to an advisor of his choice.

b. The right to question the complainant.

c. The right to present evidence in his behalf.

d. The right to call witnesses in his behalf.

e. The right to remain silent and have no inference of guilt
drawn from such silence.

f. The right to cross examination.

g. The right to appeal if suspension or expulsion is imposed.

h. A tape recording and/or summary transcription of the pro-
ceedings shall be kept and made available at the student's
request for the sole purpose of appeal from a decision of
suspension or expulsion. The student may also have a ver-
batim transcript made at his own expense. The college shall
also have this option at its expense.

i. The right to be advised of his right to appeal.

j. The right to attend classes and required college functions
until a hearing is held and a decision is rendered. Exceptions
to this would be made when the student's presence would
create a clear and present danger of material interference
with the normal operation and processes or the requirements
of appropriate discipline at the college.

In such case, the Office of Student Affairs may impose tempo-
rary protective measures, including suspension, pending a hearing,
which may be reasonably necessary. Such temporary protective
measures may be applied where the student is accused of violation
of a college regulation or of a local, state or federal law or regula-

tion. It is understood that such temporary protective measures,
if applied, will be without avoidable prejudice to the student.

Disciplinary Measures

The following are possible disciplinary measures which may
be imposed upon a student for an infraction of the Student Con-
duct Code. This list shall not be taken to be exhaustive and may
be enlarged or modified to meet particular circumstances in any
given case.

1. Expulsion permanent severance of the student's relation-
ship with the college.

2. Disciplinary Suspension temporary severance of the stu-
dent's relationship with the college for a specific period of time,
though not less than one quarter.

3. Disciplinary Probation notice to the student that any fur-
ther major disciplinary violation may result in suspension;
disciplinary probation might also include one or more of the fol-
lowing: the setting of restriction, the issuing of a reprimand,
restitution.

4. Reprimand

Oral Reprimand an oral disapproval issued to the student.
Letter Reprimand a written statement of disapproval to
the student.

5. Restrictions exclusion from enjoying or participating in:

A. Social activities

B. Identification card privileges

6. Restitution reimbursement for damage to or misappro-
priation of property; this may take the form of appropriate service
or other compensation.

7. Forced Withdrawal from the academic course within
which the offense occurred without credit for the course.

8. Change in Grade for the course in which the offense
occurred.

Appellate Procedure

When a student shall be expelled or suspended by action of
the judicial system, such student shall have the right to appeal in
accordance with the following procedures:

1. The person aggrieved shall appeal in writing to the Presi-
dent of the college within five days after notification of the deci-
sion of which he complains. The President shall within five days
appoint a committee composed of three members of the faculty
of the college or he shall utilize the services of an appropriate
existing committee. This committee shall review all facts and make
its findings and report thereon to the President. After considera-
tion of the committee's report, the President shall within five days

make a decision which shall be final so far as the institution is
concerned.

2. A student may appeal on grounds that the evidence was
not sufficient to find him guilty or other specified relevant grounds.
In either case he shall clearly state his grounds for appeal in his
written statement to the President.

3. The President shall be given a tape recording and/or written
summary of the proceedings in the original hearing by the judicial
system. If a verbatim transcript has been made, it should be made
available to the President for his consideration.

4. When the President of the college has rendered his deci-
sion in writing on any appeal, the student will be considered to
have exhausted his remedies on the local level.

5. Should the aggrieved person be dissatisfied with the deci-
sion of the President, he shall have the right to appeal in writing
to the Board of Regents. An appeal to the Board of Regents shall
be submitted in writing to the Executive Secretary of the Board
within a period of ten days after the President's decision and shall
cite all reasons for dissatisfaction with the previous decision.

6. Notwithstanding any other provision, the President is autho-
rized to review any student discipline case and take such action
as he deems appropriate with respect thereto. His review may be
based upon (1) the record made before the judiciary system; (2)
oral or written arguments made to him by the parties or their repre-
sentatives; (3) a de novo evidentiary hearing before him substan-
tively following the procedures set out herein for hearings before
the judiciary system; or (4) any combination of the foregoing
methods. A student defendant may appeal the decision of the
President in writing to the Board of Regents. Such appeal shall
be submitted in writing to the Executive Secretary of the Board
within a period of ten days after the President's decision and shall
cite all reasons for dissatisfaction with the previous decision.

Under the authority of the Board of Regents, the College is
delegated the responsibility for establishing and enforcing regu-
lations pertaining to student conduct (Regents By-laws, Art. IV,
Sec. B). Students are assured of adequate due process through
procedures established and followed by the Student Government
Association and the offices of the Dean of Student Affairs and
the President of the College.

SELECTIONS BY LAWRENCE HALPRIN

THE ENVIRONMENT WE LIVE IN INFLUENCES US,
AND OUR SENSE OF COMMUNITY EMERGES FROM IT.

TECHNOLOGY will not solve our problems. .
. . .except as a tool.

Our environment is beginning to close down

the options we have and is narrowing the potentials

of us all as human beings

-LAWRENCE HALPRIN

It is we as humans, working together in community,

ritualistically, who can rechart the destructive

course of events and prevent the desecration of

our young people, our disadvantaged,

and the environment itself.
