Swine Flu

UWG Announces First Case of Probable Swine Flu

Student tests positive for Influenza A - 90% probability of H1N1 infection

UWG has reported the first confirmed case of Influenza A, as well as the first case of seasonal flu. H1N1, or “swine flu,” is a subtype of Influenza A, and the Centers for Disease Control have advised that there is no need for testing further, as H1N1 has been declared a pandemic. Over 90% of those who test positive for Influenza A also test positive for H1N1, so all Influenza A cases are being treated as "swine flu."

Open Letter to SGA

A Letter to the Rob Kelly Administration from the UWG Ombudsman

Apparently, the officers and senators of the SGA deigned themselves to be above dealing with a mere plebian as myself. I was above their notice, and their silence in the face of my call for complaints said everything I needed to know. For them, they knew I was looking to make the paper better, and that was counter to the goals of the SGA. They came not to improve the paper, but to bury it.

Have We Forgotten What Country This Is?

Eliminating Free Speech is More Ignorant than Criticizing Greek Life

Greetings faithful West-Georgianists, My name is Bryan Murphy… And I HATE this paper. Seriously. As an avid liberal, very few people have been more pissed off about what gets put in the West Georgian than me. On a few occasions, my outrage has been epitomized by violently destroying the paper itself.

    There is no evidence that anything supernatural exists but people are abusively indoctrinated into religion during childhood & then immorally made into anti-intellectuals by GA culture. You should go with the evidence & face the fact that no God is real, but morality/ethics is important, along with science & they're well worth living for.

    p.s. there is a methamphetamine epidemic on campus. Because of the recession, meth addicts who have lost there jobs are smoking it in the restrooms & it is being distributed through the air conditioning systems. An amount too small to show up on a drug test is enough to have a profound effect. I hope you are ok, whomever you are, but if you are at UWG & have been in an academic building, you are probably on meth against your will. This is surely the biggest public safety/health issue UWG has ever encountered.

    I use my Sorority, AKA, as another outlet to show and spread the love of Jesus Christ. I love my sorority and the wonderful seeds we sow into the community and to the less fortunate; but nothing or no one comes before God. I think it's all in the person, your trust, your faith, your relationship and your walk with the Lord. I know whose I am and who I serve--Jesus Christ! So, being in the sorority is just another way to minister to other about the love and selflessness of Jesus Christ. But to each his own and if God told you to let it go, then let it go! Be blessed!
