With an enrollment of some 5,000 students from 36 states and 16 for- eign countries, and a teaching faculty that numbers nearly 300, West Gerogia is a not too small, not too big college. The College is located 45 miles west of Atlanta in Carrollton, Georgia, a town of some 18,000. Full and part-time faculty total nearly 300, over 60% of which hold the doctor- ate or other appropriate terminal de- gree. Faculty members come from throughout the nati n and world. More than 300 professional and sup- port staff complement the teaching faculty. West Georgia ' s campus is composed of 400 acres of towering oaks, grassy laws, and thousands of shrubs and flowers, making it one of the most beautiful college scenes any- where. The campus architecture com- bines the old styles from the early A M School days with the most mod- ern designs of today. The campus now includes some 50 structures of learning, residence and recreation which are valued at nearly $40 mil- lion. A free bus service serves the en- tire campus. There are more than 50 registered student organizations on campus, covering a wide variety of interests, from exploring caves and skydiving to lifting weights and debate. West Georgia has chapters of 18 national and social fraternities and sororities on campus. They are active in campus and community activities and provide many opportunities for involvement with with fellow students, Rush periods for pledging new members are held at various intervals throughout the academic year.

Student publications include a weekly news paper, annual literary magazine and annual yearbook. Each of these publications has a student editor and staff. Also, West Georgia has a campus radio station which is managed and operated by students. It provides an alternative form of listening for the student population as well as a valuable tool for those students in the mass communications program. Presently, West Georgia maintains nine resident halls for men and women. Some 2,000 students reside on campus. Most halls are air-conditioned and include such features as a laundry room, study and typing carrels, kitchenettes, and television lounges. History is the originator for West Georgia ' s new logo. The granite memorial pictured above came to the campus from the Mcintosh Reserve located south of Carrollton. Chief William Mcintosh had a large granite stone hewn into steps for his visitors to mount their horses. The 200-year old rock has been on the campus since 1916 when it was moved from the Mcintosh Reserve and used as a cornerstone in a girls ' dormitory. It now rests in a park on Front Campus Drive and symbolizes a Step up to West Georgia College.
