Commentator Agar,
Pulitzer Winner,
To Speak in Nov.

Herbert Agar, Pulitzer prize
winner and political and historical
commentator, will open the Lec-
ture association series with an
address in November on problems
of world collaboration.

The association, which is head-
ed by Miss Emma Mae Laney as
faculty chairman and student
chairman Betty Andrews, plans to
bring an eminent scientist and at
least one other lecturer to the
campus this year.

Mr. Agar was commissioned a
lieutenant commander in the
Navy in 1942 and became special
assistant to Ambassador John G.
Winant in England early in 1943.

Durham Stresses
One World Theme

Miss Eleanor Durham, field rep-
resentative for the World Student
Service fund, emphasized the "one
world" theme which underlines
the fund's program in talks at Ag-
nes Scott Sunday evening and
Monday.

Miss Durham spoke at vespers
Sunday night in McLean, describ-
ing the experiences of students
from all over the world during the
war years, and difficult situation
they face today. Monday she met

C.A. Sets Goal
To Serve
Campus.World

C. A. Week, the week in which
the college community is ac-
quainted with the current pro-
jects of Christian Association, is
now in progress. Tuesday the
theme, "Thou shalt love", was
presented as being the embodi-
ment of the Christian Association
ideal of simple faith. As a basis
for understanding the functions of
Christian Association, a skit on
the organization of the group was
given today in chapel.

A presentation of the budget of
the year will be given Thursday.
This budget of $1,765 will be used
for the support of a missionary,
an Agnes Scott alumna, for the
devotional booklets distributed to
every student, and for the social
service projects Scottish Rite
Hospital, Boys' Club, the Indus-
trial Girls' Club among others.
At this time students will be able
to sign membership cards and
pledges for support of C. A. work,
and to indicate what field of so-
cial service work interests them.
A reconsecration vesper service
Sunday night will climax the week
devoted to Christian Association.

C. A. plans for the quarter in-
due Vesper speakers drawn from
the student body, and outstanding
speakers for chapel every week.
Among these chapel visitors will
be those particularly requested by
students on the questionnaire last
spring. C. A. will operate a baby-
sitters' bureau of boarders and
day students. A list of girls in-
terested in teaching Sunday
School in Decatur or Atlanta
either regularly or as substitutes
will be maintained also as a com-
munity service.

All-Southern Debate Teams
To Clash Here In November

Teams from more than 20
southern colleges and universities
will battle for the All Southern
Intercollegiate Debate title No-
vember 15 on the Agnes Scott
campus, sponsored for the second
consecutive year by Pi Alpha Phi
debating society.

The local debaters will invite 26
institutions to send teams to De-
catur, including state universities
and many other schools from Vir-
ginia to Texas.

Subject of the fray here and in
all inter-collegiate tournaments
this year will be Resolved: that
labor should have a share in the
management of industry. Morn-
ing and afternoon sessions will
screen out the finalists who will
compete for the title in Presser
Hall in the evening. The finals
will be open to the public.

Eliminated from this year's in-
tercollegiate competition by an
article in Pi Alpha Phi's newly
ratified constitution are star de-
baters Dale Bennett and Jane
Meadows who teamed last year to
take second place title.

The constitution prohibits any
former Pi Alpha Phi entrant from
participating in this year's All

Campbell, Little Win
Frosh 'Dek-lt' Contest

By Charlsie Smith

Climaxing a week of consultations, punctuated by the
snip of scissors and the swish of paint brushes, comes the
announcement from Peggy Pat Home that Sara Jane Camp-
bell and Nora Anne Little have won Christian Association's
"Dek-lt" contest.

The judges' decision chosing.
their room, 33 Inman, the most at-
tractive in the freshman dormito-
ries, won for Sara Jane and Nora
Anne a collapsible hat box apiece,
a glove box for one, and a hand-
kerchief box for the other.

All freshman rooms in Lupton
and Inman were entered in the
contest. They were judged Mon-
day afternoon by Miss Priscilla
Lobeck, art instructor; Miss Char-
lotte Hunter, assistant dean and
Inman resident; and Bet Patter-
son, senior, on the basis of attrac-
tiveness, originality, and conveni-
ence or livability.

The winning room is decorated
in dark green and coral. The
judges in announcing their choice
cited Sara Jane's and Nora Anne's
resourcefulness and use of mate-
rial, and commended especially
the room's details of foot lockers,
chair strips, and decorated waste-
basket.

Honorable mention went to
freshmen in three Inman rooms:
Nancy Martin and Helen Harrison,
Inman 8; Anne Sartain and Genie
Paschal, Inman 12; and Grechen
Reinartz and Harriott McGuire,
Inman 43.

The judges also mentioned four
other frosh decorators whose
rooms were especially attractive:
Dorothy Floyd and Kathleen Huff,
Lupton 6; Sue McSpadden and
Phyllis Narmore, Inman 22; Sally
Thompson and Isabel Truslow, In-
man 44; and Annelle Ward, In-
man 61.

A product of last year's decora-
tion clinic, streamlined "Dek-lt"'
was planned this spring by Janet
Liddell and Peggy Pat Home to
give freshmen helpful hints on.

Our Honor System

Everybody has his own personal honor system. Agnes
Scott has its own honor system. To be a student at Agnes
Scott presents to every girl the problem of reconciling these
two systems into a workable, every day code.

Student Government has gone to great lengths to explain
tile honor system. The new students have learned in the
handbook classes, and the old students at a chapel meeting
?what it means to us and to the college. Last year discussions
*were conducted in each hall to remind all of us of what our
^system is, how it does work, and how it should work. Com-
pared with other colleges, we noted, it is unusually suc-
jpessfuL There is, however, plenty of room for more success,
j On the incoming class this year all eyes are turned with
interest. Special care has been taken to explain to them the
(meaning of the Agnes Scott honor system, and all that it in-
volves. In the freshman who understands rests the privilege
of beginning a college career without all the confusing prob-
lems that some girls feel. To whose who do feel confused, any
member of student government, or any upperclassman will
be more than willing to talk about what our system means
*and how the new student can correlate the new system un-
der which she will live with her own personal convictions.

The Agnes Scott honor system, a matter of particular pride
to each old student, is the strong and sure foundation of our
college. No student is completely a part of Agnes Scott until
she has become a part of her honor system and this needs
each student's careful thought. The college hopes that the
freshmen will acquaint themselves with the honor system
in all its phases before the time for signing the student gov-
ernment pledge rolls around.

The Agnes Scott honor system has had a long history of
unusual success. The complete extent of student government
is one indication that students here are required to live by
their honor in abiding by the rules of the school. It is a per-
sonal responsibility to every student, new and old, to appre-
ciate the success of the honor system and to try to continue
its existence and success with her own personal conception
of the honor system.

Student Government has done more than its share in both
reminding us of what we pledged when we entered Agnes
Scott, and serving as our representatives when we forget the
rules. The success of the system, in short, the success with
which we are able to live with each other, will depend on
how we accept what our honor system involves.

Each student has her personal honor. Agnes Scott has its
own honor system. The happy and successful student can
combine these two in her college life.

Classes To Claw For Cat
Under Beale, Harris

By Mary Beth Little

Punctuating the fall season at
Agnes Scott each year is the tra-
ditional Black Cat stunt. Electing
class directors is of prime impor-
tance, "the cat's whiskers" one
might say. On their chosen shoul-
ders rests the Atlas-load of or-
ganizing and planning the skits.
Already the classes have started
their friendly rivalry with the
election of sophomore Easy Beale
and freshman Polly Harris.

As an envoy from the black cat
himself, I journeyed to interview
these purrpussful chairmen. Feel-
ing like an agent from an adop-
tion agency, I questioned, probled,
and pried, and am now ready to
report: if the winning depended
on their spirit, there's not a ghost
of a chance that the outcome
could be other than a tie!

Polly Harris certainly has an
imposing list of honors to her
credit. If the statement "Even a
child is known by its doings" is at
all true she should certainly keep
adding to them in college. At the
age of one she received a big doll
for winning the title of the Most
Popular Baby of Greenville, S. C.
In high school she served as vice-
president of the student body her
senior year. She was also elected
one of the ten for the Greenville
high school hall of fame and "girl
most likely to succeed',, which
sounds good for the freshmen.
Having made these impressive
discoveries, I began to get person-
al. For example I learned from
her helpful roommate that she
"thrives on dill pickles and soda
crackers". It seems, however, that
a bottle was somewhat fermented
last week and Polly hasn't recu-
perated yet. Team sports, Myrtle
Beach (where she says she is prac-
tically one of the habitual beach
bums), dramatics, math, Johnny
Mercer, and the Ink Spots are
other favorites. Feeling really re-
freshed by her eagerness and long-
limbed poise, I ambled over to Re-
bekah to see Easy the sophomore
answer to Polly's efficiency.

Sprawling on her groaning bed,
we talked about many things from
cabbages to kings. It wasn't hard
to tell that she is in love with
Bowling Green, Virginia. Other
enthusiasms are: swimming and
sailing on the Chesapeake Bay,
the music of "Spellbound," black,
poetry, driving a car, keeping a
diary, peanuts, and chicken giz-
zards. Pinning her down I learn-
ed that she was president of the
student body in grade school and
again in high school. She was
also valedictorian and cheer
leader.

Last year she was in Folio club
and chairman of the freshman
stunt for Junior Joint. As for id-
iosyncrasies she reported she
hates whipped cream and people
who are cheerful before seven-
thirty a. m. and she prefers hot
dogs to beefsteak any day. Her
most embarrassing moment occur-
red when she had just touched
campus her freshman year; mis-
taking her for her older sister,
Glassell, a girl rushed to her, em-
braced her, and said "My, you cer-
tainly have gained weight this
summer."

I asked her if she had a state-
ment of the Louis-Conn type to
make about the coming contest.
She replied ardently, "We may

Galley Slave

Alice Beardsley

There has been In the last few
days extensive discussion among
upper-classmen on the topic "the
value of keeping a 'Freshman
Book'." This book would be some-
what like the one mother keeps
for baby and would record the
bright sayings of Agnes Scott's
new children.

This book is needed, argues one
school of thought, because never
before have there been cute say-
ings brought in by these freshmen.
They ought to be preserved.
Freshmen keep Agnes Scott eter-
nally young, they say, and if we
could have access to these sayings
to read them occasionally, all stu-
dents of all classes could have that
eternally young feeling.

Another school of thought con-
tends that the freshmen are no
more guilty of bright sayings than
are sophomores or juniors. Each
new year brings a renaissance of
humorous activity and while fresh-
men effort along this line is prob-
ably more noticeable, still, it is
futile to keep a freshman book un-
less you also keep one for the
sophomores and juniors.

Well, that's the argument. The
evidence for each side is imposing
and is presented here so that the
college community can decide
whether there should be or should
not be a freshman book.

The pro evidence:

Freshman to senior: When I get
to be a senior, I won't have to
wear a hat to town any more,
will I?

The bookstore reports a fresh-
man ambling up to ask in all se-
riousness, "Pack of Luckies,
please." (Note: Reggie treated for
shock. Bookstore closed for the
day.)

Freshman to student in lunch
line: What do you have to be or
do to sit at that table near the
kitchen ?

Freshman sitting on radiator:
Guess I'll get correlated now.

The second hand bookstore an-
nounces that a breathless fresh-
man ran in to ask for the biology
101 book entitled "Spices of Life"
by somebody named MacDougall.

The con evidence:

A meek, quiet, conscientious se-
nior is studying in the library.
Through the depth of concentra-
tion the click of heels, the thump
of books, the sound of a voice is
heard. At first the disturbing ele-
ment is overcome by the fascina-
tion of International Relations.
After a time, however, concentra-
tion is impossible, so the meek,
quiet, conscientious senior gets
up, goes over to the offensive ele-
ment and asks, "Could you be a
little more quiet, please?" The of-
fensive element readily responds,

fail our classes, but we won't fail
our class!" .

Thus it appears that the fresh-
man and sophomore classes are
really preparing for "it was a
tough fight but we won Ma" bat-
tle. There will be no time for cat-
napping for Polly or Easy work-
ing now as cat-alytic agents. Oc-
tober 12 is creeping in.

Busy Sponsors
Rub Green Off
Dizzy Freshmen

Good-looking fall suits are the
only traces of verdant hues about
this year's freshman class. From
their first minutes on the campus
of their new alma mater, they
have seemed at home as they have
crowded around the general bulle-
tin board, lounged in the out-door
green chairs of the day student
rooms, or pounded curtain rods
above bare windows. In fact,
their only mark of distinction has
been their well-selected college
wardrobes, which still sparkle
against the washed-out cottons of
upper-classmen.

Needless to say, there has been
a force at work behind the scenes
of freshman activity. There have
been letters, notices, phone calls,
meetings, and mid-night oil all
under the direction of Mac Craig,
chairman of Orientation Commit-
tee, and Alice Davidson, assistant
chairman.

Registration Smooth

Thanks to the consideration of
the administration, the sponsors
were able to register early so they
could rush through their own wor-
ries and devote more time to their
sponsorees. As a finishing touch
for their own assurance, the spon-
sors met at a retreat in Murphey
Candler Saturday afternoon, Sep-
tember 14. Here, aided by mem-
bers of the committee, Miss Emily
Dexter, and Miss Charlotte Hunt-
er, they discussed all their prob-
lems and made their final plans.

The following Monday, the first
day of freshman registration, the
whole group was at work behind
cheerful purple and white name
tags. While sponsors and early-
bird sophomore helpers were tak-
ing the new students through
name-signing lines, Mac was hold-
ing down fort in the front lobby of
Buttrick. For three mornings she
sat there answering every kind of
question from the location of a
dressing room to the course a
prospective writer should take her
first year at Agnes Scott.

Cafe Party A Hit

But all was not work for the
new-comers and their guides. No,
there were good times, too such
as the C. A. picnic, the alumnae
tea, the sight T seeing trips on Sun-
day afternoons, and, finally, the
freshman-sophomore party which
Betsy Powers handled so success-
fully.

There were glowing reports
about this affair, a French side-
walk cafe, with Alice Beardsley as
a herald of fashion; Ruth Rich-
ardson, the unknown toast of
Paris; Mac Craig, the singing
chef; Nora Anne Little, the flower
girl; Lou McLaurin, a French art-
ist; the singing waitresses, Buck
Buchanan, Virginia Dickson and
Virginia Barksdale; and Nan Net-
tles at the piano. Dabney Adams
called figures for square dancing.
The party rated a special viva
from both classes.

By this time those "green''
freshmen were beginning to feel
completely orientated, while spon-
sors, sophomore helpers, and
members of Orientation commit-
tee were going around with benign
smiles on their faces.

"No, I don't think I can." The
meek, quiet, conscientious senior
is abashed and returns to her seat
only to be informed by a friendly
well-wisher that she has just
asked a librarian to be quiet.

Social-Lites

By Mary Brown Mahon

Rush week at Tech is the reason for all the circle-eyed
Hottentots. They began last Thursday and lasted until Mon-
day. Those attending the KA parties were Mary Jane Fuller,
Alice Newman, Ann Hough, Punky Mattison, B. A. Ziegler,
Nancy Geer, Sister Davis, Janet Aurada, Mary McCalla, Nel-
son Fisher, Joanne Peterson, Jes-

sie Clarkson.

Reporting a gay time at the
ATO house were Glassell Beale,
Kate Ellis, Sue Hutchins, Marga-
ret McManus, Sally Bussey, June
Irvine, and Mary Gene Sims. Seen
at the Sigma Chi house were Dale
Bennett, Louisa Aichel, Billie
Powell, Cissy Jeffries, Charlsie
Smith, Betty Davison, Marge Ma-
jor, Martha Cunningham, Jo Mc-
Call and Beryl Crews.

Carol Equen enjoyed the Chi
Phi party, while Mary Mohr, Kate
Ellis, and Dot Peace went to the
SAE party. The dental fraterni-
ties are also rushing, and helping
them out were Mary McCalla,
Mary Jane Fuller, Kate Ellis,
Glassell Beale, Punky Mattison,
Frances Sholes, B. A. Zeigler, and
Mary Brown Mahon.

The Phi Delt's and the Delta
Tau Delt's had house dances and
among those attending were Bar-
bara Mocht, Harriet Ann Mc-
Guire, Jane Oliver, Lyd Gardner,
Margaret Glenn, and Charlotte
Bartlett. Nancy Geer went with
the Kappa Sig's to North Fulton
Park, and for the Beta Theta Pi's
were Steele Dendy and Ann Carol
Blanton.

The Chi Phi's at Emory were
honored this week-end with two
parties before they return to
school. Having their house catch
on fire has not kept them from
having as grand a time as usual.
The alumni and brothers living in
Atlanta have seen to that. Satur-
day night John Lundeen gave a
party at his country estate and
Agnes Scott girls attending were
Mildred Claire Jones, Betty Tur-
ner, B. A. Zeigler, and Ann Burck-
hardt. Sunday Dr. William War-
ren gave the Chi Phi's an open
house at his home and having a
wonderful time were Kate Ellis,
Mildred Claire Jones, and Mary
Brown Mahon.

Visitors over the week-end in-
clude Gene Goode's "Ivan" and
Dot Peace's "Ram". Marie Adams
and Virginia Dickson were among
the lucky ones attending the Ga.-
Clemson game. Also there were
Bobbie Cathcart, Mimi Arnold,
and Jo Culp.

Many of our gals were married
this summer, but none were as
much in the limelight on their
honeymoons as were Mary Ann
Martin and her husband. They
were the honeymooners on the ra-
dio program, "Honeymoon in New
York." As a special gift for being
on the program, they were guests
at the Waldorf-Astoria bridal
suite for 24 hours.

Congratulations for engagement
rings go to Dot Wadlington, Gene
Goode, Clara Jones, Bet Patter-
son, Angela Pardington, and also
to Carol Giles, who is the new
Delta Tau Delta sponsor at Em-
ory.

science library this year. This
important duty has been assumed
by Chi Beta Phi to aid budding
scientists and to relieve Miss Edna
Hanley of part of her heavy load.

Moreover, Chi Beta Phi is spon-
soring meetings of scientific na-
ture, open to the entire college
community, that the whole cam-
pus could understand. "The aim,"
President Laura Winchester
points out, "is to make science at-
tractive to everyone and to show

Beta Phi members. Whenever
noted scientists come to the cam-

of new members in the very near
future.

VOTE LEAGUE

To begin an extensive member-
ship drive, Mrs. Blalock, past pres-
ident of the Atlanta chapter of
the League of Women Voters, will
speak in Chapel October 11. She
will talk on the purposes and aims
of the league.

A meeting will be held in Mur-
phey Candler at 1:30 of the same
day, which all interested students
are urged to attend. Polly Grant,
president of the Agnes Scott chap-
ter, says, "We students can't par-
ticipate so much in civic affairs,
but we can vote. We should be
interested enough to try to find
out the facts, so as to vote intelli-
gently."

By Edna Clare Cunningham

Agnes Scott answered the call
of the wild from Texas to Massa-
chusetts in large numbers last
summer. Campers and counselors
have come back to civilization
complete with many strange tales
of their experiences.

Mary Beth Little's favorite has
to do with numerous toothbrush
parties. It seems that the little
dears weren't always eager to
keep their teeth clean but with
the encouragement of her plan-
ned parties, all went well. This
custom came from a Camp Fire
Camp at Lake Fannin Ranch in
Texas where Mary Beth conducted
classes in music and dramatics and
her sister, Nora Ann, taught na-
ture.

From Camp Toccoa, in Toccoa,
Georgia, come weird stories of
days off, out-of-town hikes and
overnights. Lida Walker, Ruth

Camp in Massachusetts this sum-
mer. Since we were the only
counselors in Upper Village, we
took it over in the name of the
South. Of course when we began
to have our own flag raising with
the Confederate flag followed by
a stirring rendition of "Dixie" we
were practically tried as enemy
agents. The highlight of the
summer for us was the time when
Doc discovered the birth of three

Lower House Representatives
To Take Office Thursday

Mary Alice Compton
Elected Secretary

With tomorrow's installation
ceremony, 17 newly-elected mem-
bers of Student Government's low-
er house will open that body's first
year under the reorganization
plan.

The representatives will formal-
ly take office in a program tomor-
row similar to the installation
service for members of the execu-
tive committee, symbolizing this
year's closer connection between
the two groups under the plan
adopted by the student body last
session.

Mary Alice Compton, elected
lower house secretary, will enter
office on the basis of campus-wide
balloting instead of voting within
the group as used to be the cus-
tom.

According to the new system, 16
representatives, including day stu-
dents and boarders, will consitute
lower house instead of 22 proctors
and four day student class repre-
sentatives.

Day student representatives
elected this year are Polly Grant,
senior; Jean da Silva, junior; Bin-
kie Stubbs, sophomore; and Jane
Sharkey, freshman.

Kathy Davis, Charlotte Bartlett,
and Sara Tucker represent Inman,
while Easy Beale and Elizabeth
Williams are the Rebekah dele-
gates. Main sends Lidie Lee, Dor-
is Kissling, and Jane Cooke.

Cottages will be represented by
Mary Hanson Partridge, White
House; Robin Robinson, Lupton;
Charlsie Smith, Gaines; and Mary
Gene Sims, Boyd.

Frosh Sign Pledge
After S.G. Program
On Honor Code

New students signed the honor
pledge Tuesday, Oct. 1, after the
most intensive education concern-
ing the nature of the honor system
that new Agnes Scott students
have ever received.

Letters explaining the system in
detail were sent to them during
the summer and members of Stu-
dent Government talked to them
their first Tuesday here on rea-
sons for the rules.

New day students had an honor
system discussion in the basement
of Main, and the boarders had one
in Inman.

"The program has been a great
success, judging from the under-
standing the new students showed
in discussions and on the hand-
book test," said Jane Meadows,
Student Government president.

Student Government's theme
for the year will be announced
Oct. 24.

H. Robinson
Will Speak
At Investiture

Henry Robinson, who returned
to the Agnes Scott faculty this
fall as head of the mathematics
department after a leave of ab-
sence, has accepted the invitation
of the senior class to speak at In-
vestiture Nov. 2.

The traditional service, in which
the seniors are capped and receive
their official status, will be in
Presser hall. The sophomore class
will participate.

Sunday, Nov. 3, the annual
church service will be held on
campus for seniors and their
guests.

Yesterday morning the seniors
met to outline plans for "Little
Girl's Day" which will be rein-
stated this year in its traditional
spot the day before Investiture.

Council Moves To
Eliminate Inactive
Club Members

Plans Submitted
For Registration

Organization^ leaders, meeting in
the year's first session of Repre-
sentative Council Friday, voted to
request every organization on
campus to enforce a three-meet-
ings-missed-and-you're-out ruling.

Coupled with the newly distrib-
uted point system, the plan is aim-
ed toward a more unanimously ac-
tive, interested membership in
each club and the elimination of
"dead wood".

When Jane Meadows, Student
Government president, calls heads
of small clubs together next week
to discuss the proposal, she will
also ask that each club find its
constitution wherever it is filed
and bring it up to date. The col-
lege's former file of constitutions
is believed lost.

At the same time, the council in
its function as intermediary be-
tween students and administra-
tion instructed its secretary, stu-
dent recorder Dabney Adams, to
ask the administration and faculty
to consider some means of speed-
ing and compressing the process
of registration.

Methods suggested by the coun-
cil were the presence of more and
larger faculty committees on reg-
istration days, and setting in dif-
ferent rooms and committees for
different portions of the alphabet.

Accompanying the request to
the administration will be a reso-
lution passed by the council ap-
proving the system, inaugurated
by the orientation committee this
year, of registering sponsors early.

Student Govt.
To Offer Cup
For Class Spirit

Dean S. G. Stukes, Mrs. Rebec-
ca Clarke, and Miss Louise Hale
will keep a watchful eye on
classes' participation in activities
beginning this week, preliminary
to picking one class to win the col-
lege's first class spirit award
spring quarter.

Executive committee of Student
Government, parent and sponsor
of the class spirit contest, an-
nounced the judges last week and
continued work drawing up points
by which classes will be judged for
the award. The graduation year
of the winning class will be en-
*graved on a class spirit cup.

"The class with the most spirit
and the class making the greatest
contribution to the campus this
year wins the cup," Student Gov-
ernment President Jane Meadows
said in outlining the general plan.

"Our purpose in presenting the
cup and sponsoring the contest,"
she explained, "is to promote
friendly rivalry among the classes
and, consequently, to raise more
school spirit."

Student Government's college
song contest, open to classes, or-
ganizations, and individuals, is de-
signed to add new and better
songs to the college repertoire.
The winning song will be chosen
after a group of the faculty pre-
sent in chapel some of the old Ag-
nes Scott songs.

Class Rivalry
To Shake Gym
Saturday At 8

Tension mounted this week be-
tween sophomores and freshmen
who are whipping secret yells,
songs, and stunts into shape for
the contest traditionally accom-
panied by the hottest class rivalry
of the year.

The annual battle for the Black
Cat will be waged Saturday night
at 8 in the gym.

The freshmen chose Miss Char-
lotte Hunter, assistant dean, for
their judge; the sophomores chose
Walter B. Posey, professor of his-
tory. George P. Hayes, professor
of English, was elected by both
classes as their joint judge Tues-
day, Oct. 7, after chapel.

The freshman stunt cast in-
cludes Jo Ann Piastre, Peggy
Heck, Betty Jane Crowther, Bar-
bara Macht, Beryl Crews, Emily
Ann Reid, Todd McCain, Leila

erton, Dot Davis, Barbara Young,

Hot Spot Opening Night
'Pair-a-dice' After Stunt

The reopening of the Pair-a-dice
room will vie with the Black Cat
stunt Saturday night for first
night sparkle and fun.

The sophomores who inherited
the Pair-a-dice this year from the
seniors have planned a big sur-
prise for everybody in the way
they have redecorated Agnes
Scott's night club.

Chairman Nancy Francisco says
that the campus hot spot will sell
sandwiches and be open every
night except Sunday from 9:30 un-
til 10:30.

Newell Turner is publicity chair-
man and credit goes to Ivy Morris
and Mary Hanson Partridge for
the decorations which reportedly
will astonish the campus.

The Pair-a-dice, a project of the
class of 1947, had its premiere af-
ter the Black Cat stunt of 1944.
The class willed the club to its sis-
ter class after two years of suc-
cessfully competing with Decatur
drug stores.

Stukes To Lecture Frosh

S. G. Stukes, dean of the facul-
ty, will speak to the freshmen af-
ter the regular chapel program
Wednesday, Oct. 16, about ways
to study. These talks have become
an annual feature of the freshman
orientation program.

Hunter To Speak
At Mortar Board
Recognition Oct. 26

Miss Charlotte Hunter, assist-
ant dean of the college and a
member of Mortar Board, will
speak on the ideals of Mortar
Board and the organization's
theme for this year at the annual
recognition service Oct. 26.

In line with the choice of the
four Agnes Scott ideals as the
1946-47 all-campus theme, Mortar
Board will stress the first high
intellectual attainment and the
fourth charming, well-rounded
personality as its keynote for the
session, President B. J. Radford
announced.

Mortar Boards in this year's se-
nior class and in former classes at
Agnes Scott and other schools will
form the academic procession at
the recognition service which will
occupy the chapel period.

Most of the Mortar Board mem-
bers of the class of 1946 are ex-
pected to return to Agnes Scott
for the program, B. J. said.

Symms to Speak
On Old Rules
At Frosh Cabinet

Miss Eugenia Symms of the
alumnae office will speak to the
freshmen at the first meeting of
the Freshman cabinet Wednesday,
Oct. 16, at 5 p. m. in Murphey
Candler. The amusing side of
Agnes Scott history will be revealv
ed as Miss Symms tells of the old-
fashioned rules and regulations
which once belonged in the A.S.C.
handbook.

Weekly meetings of Freshman
cabinet will be sponsored by Chris-
tian association throughout the
year. As social functions cabinet
will have monthly entertainments.
An Easter egg hunt for the Negro
children of Decatur, and special
Thanksgiving and Easter worship
programs are included in cabinet
projects for the year.

Lobeck Oils
Shown Oct. 15

At the first exhibit of the year,
the Agnes Scott art department
will show the oil paintings of Miss
Priscilla Lobeck, who joined the
faculty this year. Opening on
Tuesday, Oct. 15, at 2 p. m., the
exhibit will be in Buttrick hall,
rooms 321 and 327 for two weeks.

Miss Lobeck, who teaches crea-
tive art, received her degree at
Wesleyan college in Macon and
studied art at the Wesleyan con-
servatory there. The paintings
she will exhibit were done at the
Art Students' League, New York,
and at Martha's Vineyard.

Also to Agnes Scott will come
the University of Georgia Student
Art exhibition Nov. 1-9, and "Silk
Screen Portraits of Artists" by
Harry Sternberg, New York, Nov.
9-26.

New Dining Room, Heated Pool Listed
Among Expanded College Facilities

A brand new auxiliary dining
room, complete with the same
equipment as the main one, fresh-
ly sanded floors, and special cars
for transporting food, head the
list of campus improvements that
greeted Agnes Scotters on their
arrival. During the summer the
administration carried out many
projected plans for better facili-
ties, despite shortage difficulties.

Living quarters received new
make-up in the form of outside
paint jobs or inside wall-papering,
including White House, Sturgis,
Lupton, West Lawn, Boyd, Inman,
Gaines, and Ansley. The date
parlors in Main, as well as the
porches, floors and steps of the en-
tire campus also received the re-
vitalizing paint touch.

The main dining room now
glows with a new coat of paint and
new draperies are expected soon
to complete the pleasant mealtime
background. The colonnade shines
with a clean face.

Two unusual improvements are
the revamping of the steam lines
so that the swimming pool can
be heated on cool days when the
rest of the buildings are not heat-
ed, and facilities which provide
heat for the room as well as the
pool. The installation of a new
electric conduit to Presser is also
a novel repair job, since the one
originally laid was supposed to
last the lifetime of the school.

New rope rigging on the stage
at the gym will be good news for
frosh and sophs who will now be
able to rehearse their Black Cat
stunts without fear of falling
scenery. The backdrops at the
gym are also new.

Other additions are lab equip-
ment for the science department
and new beds, chairs, and electric
instruments for the infirmary.

C.A Features
'Love Theme

C. A. week ended Sunday eve-
ning with the annual service of re-
consecration which began with a
vesper service in McLean chapel
and ended with the traditional
circle of candlelight in the small
quadrangle between Buttrick and
Presser.

Angela Pardington, who was in
charge of the service, based her
message on the "love" theme, and
Mildred Evans sang "Beloved, Let
Us Love One Another." After-
wards students gathered outside
with their lighted tapers and clos-
ed the service singing "I Bind My
Heart This Tide."

Throughout last week Christian
association emphasized its theme
for the year, "Thou shalt love,"
which was introduced by Agnes
Harnsberger in the chapter service
opening the observance of C. A.
week. Morning watch services
were planned around the theme;
"love" was the topic of discussion
led by Margaret Bond at the reg-
ular cabinet meeting Tuesday
night.

Other organized activities in-
cluded a skit planned by Doris
Kissling showing the organization
of C. A. The student's part as a
member of Christian association
formed the background of the pro-
gram Thursday. Marianna Hol-
landsworth spoke on the consecra-
tion of time, money and talents,
and the student body signed mem-
bership and pledge cards.

Play By Play

By Lidie Lee

It's hard to get anyone to talk about anything in the sport's world
but hockey these days. With the first games just two days away,
Hottentots are readying up for a good season of hard playing.

Agnes Scott was one of the first southern colleges to introduce
the sport into the United States. The first women's hockey games
were played at Vassar 44 years ago. Brought over from England in
1901 by Miss Constance Applebee, the game has long been a favorite
on the fall sports calendar. In 1922 the United States field hockey
was started, and in the next year a hockey camp in the Pocono
Mountains held its first session. Here players from all parts of the
country meet each year in September to discuss the latest rules and
plays.

Hockey games were postponed in many cases during the war but
U. S. hockey players contributed money for two ambulances and for
funds for the care of foster children in England. Wartime service over,
hockey came back into its own. Agnes Scott's first post-war hockey
season will start off with a bang after a week of special instruction,
Oct. 21 through 26, by Miss Elizabeth Dunn, USFA umpire.

Ride 'Em Blue Horse

Bike riding down Gaines chapel aisle has been added to A. A.'s new
list of fall sports. Practice comes but once a year though, according
to Easy Beal, Van Orr, and Tuck Tucker. Last week's unique chapel
experience was just an advertisement for our own Blue Horse bikes.
The three bikes used were our reward for saving Blue Horse wrappers
from loose leaf paper last year. Let's keep up the good work and have
the whole campus riding next year on Blue Horse specials. j

Spectators this year will take a special part in the team sports. A
new A. A. cup is to be awarded for class spirit to the group doing most
to support their team during the year.

A.A. Open House
Fetes Freshmen

Athletic Board welcomed fresh-
men to Agnes Scott Saturday
night at an open house that fea-
tured cake walks, bridge and
games ranging the entire athletic
field.

Introduced with a song, each
board member greeted the fresh-
men. Swimming, badminton, ping
pong and the rest of the indoor
sports followed. Mary Lou Hat-
field and Pat Overton were win-
ners of the cake-walk prize.

Warming up with an evening of
fun, the freshmen were initiated
to the possibilities of athletic com-
petition this year.

Last Practice Over
For Hockey Matches

Lid Flies Off 1946 Season Friday
As Teams Open Bids for Plaques

By Lidie Lee

Hockey starts its fall season at A.S.C. Friday with class
games between sister teams. A soph eleven will battle the
seniors and the juniors will meet the frosh team for the
first game sof the year.

Practice games between the classes last Friday showed
just a little of what fans may ex-

pect when they attend the '46
matches.

Sophs Outnumber All
Sophomore and junior chances
for a big year looked favorable
with plenty of good material on
the line.

The sophs outnumbered all
classes with more than 20 girls
out for the team. Pushed on by
veterans like Jean Fraser, Sally
Ellis, and Mary Price, they have
newcomer Marguerite Jackson to
help out in this year's fight. Judg-
ing from last year's basketball
record Marguerite should be a
pretty fast player.

Junior mainstays, Tuck Tucker,
Sister Davis, E. Claire Cunning-
ham, last year's hockey stick win-
ner, and Lady Major are back
again to give their opponents a
good scrap.

Seniors, outdoing quantity with
quality, turned out such veteran
players as Chris Yates, Ann
Hough, and Alice Newman, '44's
hockey stick victor, as the back-
bone of a fighting senior team.
Frosh Start Well

Freshmen, who as a team are
still the dark horse of the season,
also showed good management
and training as they fought for the
puck. It's anyone's guess now as
to what kind of competition they'll
turn out to be, but they're getting
off to an A-l start.

Tryouts for Outing Club
End Monday, Oct. 14

Outing club is having tryouts
through Monday, Oct. 14. Try-
outs consist of a six-mile hike and
a written plan of refreshments, en-
tertainments, and transportation
for a supper or over-night hike.

Louise Hoyt, president, said
Outing club will sell apples at the
hockey games again this year.

Class games continue through
Nov. 11. Managers for the year
are Alice Newman, seniors; Lady
Major, juniors; Mary Price, sopho-
mores; and Gretchen Reinartz,
freshmen.

Ten of the 11 first string play-
ers of last season turned out for
the sophomore class at Friday's
practice. Veterans Mary Price,
Jean Fraser, Lorton Lee, Julia
Blake, Bunny Brannon, Sally El-
lis, Marie Cuthbertson, Doris Sul-
livan, Newell Turner, and Frances
Russell make up the backbone of
the team.

The junior class had an 11 out
of 12 return of the old guard with
Edna Claire Cunningham, Tuck
Tucker, Lou McLaurin, Lady Ma-
jor, Doc Dunn, Sister Davis, Shee-
ly Little, Van Orr, Adele Dieck-
mann, Bob Blair, and Anne Tread-
well as springboards for action.

Proof that the senior class is
still athletically minded shows in
their hockey team. All but one of
their main stick wielders are back
on the field. Gene Goode, Cagey
Johnson, B. J. Radford, Alice
Newman, Chris Yates, Helen Cur-
rie, Anna George Dobbins, Agnes
Harnsberger, Genet Heery, and
Louise Hoyt turned out for prac-
tice.

Grab That Ghost!

Lower House
Moves Up

Student Government has done it again. As has been the
case many times since the present progressive Executive
Committee took office last spring, a streamlined, fully
thought-out way of doing things has replaced an outmoded
system.

Tomorrow 17 representatives will become the first lower
house, at least within our memory, which has the necessary
power to fill the place a lower house should fill in any gov-
ernment. Whether the body has within itself the necessary
strength to put its power into constructive practice will be the
real test.

It seems to us that our new lower house is based on two
sound ideas: the first, that laying police power on lower
house members as their chief duty is an inherent contradic-
tion of the Agnes Scott honor code. Belief in the integrity
and capability of the indvidual to keep himself within the
bounds of community living is a part of that code.

This idea, we think, is the kind that brings out our best-
most of us would rather be on our own than not when it
comes to our personal behavior; and today's trend is to
make people, from here to Berlin, more and more responsi-
ble for themselves.

The second idea we see as basic in the new system is that
lower house, like the "upper house," or Exec, ought to serve
the whole student body and therefore ought to be chosen by
the whole student body. This seems obvious to all of us
now that it has been pointed out. But it took the labors of
Exec and of the president in particular to show us that wing-
by-wing balloting is out of date.

We don't think we take much risk of red-faced results
when we say that the 1946-47 lower house can be the first
of many successful ones giving us the representation we
want and deserve.

Play Your Own Hand

"Let's not talk about politics. It's a dreadful bore."

That's what most of us have heard all our lives. Well just
for a change, let's do talk about politics and what better op-
portunity is offered to us than through the League of Wom-
en Voters? The League was born from the American wom-
an's struggle to win the vote and her determination to use
it wisely. Through it, we participate actively in government,
believing that a voter's duty does not end at the poll on
election day.

Everyone of us is "in politics." We're in the game and we
can't pass a hand. We can play our hand, or we can let some-
one else play it for us. The League urges everyone to be fair,
and play his own hand in other words, to encourage citi-
zens' participation in government.

Here at Agnes Scott, we have developed a League that
we believe has great possibilities. Affiliated with the Na-
tional League of Women Voters, we are striving to carry
out their policies. We are completely non-partisan. We nev-
er endorse candidates, but we do endorse measures, and
above all we urge non-voters to become voters.

The Agnes Scott League of Women Voters meets Friday
at 1:30, so if you're a good citizen, take an active interest.
Don't blame someone else for playing your hand. Play it
yourself! C. G.

Cat

Away

Quizzy

But It's Worth It

So your lungs are hoarse, and you count cats instead of
sheep that's swell!

The Black Cat stunt has been an annual affair for these
long years and no one seems to have lost a lung yet. Pep
certainly can't weight your class down, and it needs you as
well as the girl across the hall.

Get in there and give and we'll meet you at the gym
Saturday.

By Lou McLaurin

He's gone! Cat-apulted into thin air!

Quizzy, the, consolation prize to last year's frosh, has dis-
appeared.

It was last fall the morning after the night before, (Black
Cat night to you) that he appeared perched with catlike
grace on the Inman lobby piano. With a wise, quizzical look
sympathizing

in his beady yet
eyes, he sat in intelligent silence.

The frosh took to him the way
a duck takes to water such a
comfort has never before been
known. In fact, it was almost
worth losing the stunt to get
Quizzy but where is he now?
Mystery shrouds his absence.
Search Is Vain
For weeks now frantic search-
ers have been combing the dorms
to find him. One ardent seeker
was stuck for several days in the
strings of the piano, but still no
cat. (If you have any information
as to Quizzy's whereabouts please
notify Box 000, % The News).
Even Mrs. Smith has no idea
where he can be found.

Don't gasp if in the middle of
the night someone crawls out from
under your bed and asks with a
very solemn air, "Has anyone here
seen Quizzy?" Don't look shocked
if you're confronted with "Pardon
me, but you look just like
Quizzy!"

But Hope Remains
Surely there's some logical ex-
planation for this strange catas-
trophe. Quizzy is quite evidently a
supernatural cat with colossal
powers. Even now he's probably
slipping stealthily through the
halls of Inman and Rebekah, lis-
tening, calculating, and judging in
a cool, impartial manner so that
he'll know beforehand who his
hostess will be for the coming
year.

Surely no dastardly crime has
been perpetrated. Surely poor
Quizzy has not been lured off into
the darkness to be, alas eradi-
cated! No one knows for sure.
Brokenly I ask Do you?

Off the
Copy Hook

Ann Wheeler was throwing
darts like mad at the fair the oth-
er night. A certain teddy bear had
caught her fancy; having been
pierced by Cupid she was determ-
ined to win the bear in like man-
ner. She overdid it, however, miss-
ed the bull's-eye, and punctured
the poor creature right in the mid-
dle of his sawdust.

"Easy" Beale was seen parading
around in a new fur coat Saturday.
She explained to an admiring audi-
ence that it had been purchased
as a costume for the stunt. Easy,
we know you're all out for the
Cat, but isn't that just a little ex-
travagant ?

Mary Ramseur is getting that
Scott-shot feeling too soon in the
year! Tired after a studious eve-
ning, she wearily waited her time
for the tub, and at length turned
on the water. She walked into her
room to find a stranger sitting at
her desk, completely at home. Not
until then did she find out she had
been on the wrong floor the whole
time.

Your Right
To Say It

To the Editor:

Last spring the student body as
a whole decided that the practice
of having hall proctors to police
us was unnecessary.

I wonder.

We took over the duties of proc-
toring for ourselves seriously last
spring, and every girl acted as if
she felt it her own responsibility
to keep quiet so that others could
study. The system worked out
beautifully; thoughtfulness was
the keynote of the dorms. And
every Aggie secretly congratulat-
ed herself that we were big
enough to take care of such a ne-
cessity without reminders from
other students.

This fall, however, I question
that policy of unproctored halls
during quiet hours. This business
of having someone ask us to
"please keep a little more quiet"
does sound childish, I admit, and
yet, I believe it is again a neces-
sity. More and more we are hav-
ing to migrate to the library to

The faculty's annual unbending
known as the Bacon Bat is tradi-
tionally no doubt for good rea-
sons shrouded in mystery; but
hints of last Saturday night's do-
ings are beginning to leak out.

For instance, thrifty-minded
Dr. Robinson auctioned off the
unopened packages of rolls toward
the end of the evening. By some
mathematical system all his own,
purchasers claim, he got twice
what the bread was worth and
after all that, it was found that
one of the faculty children got to
the bread pile before buyers could
collect!

find peace and quiet to get our
work done.

Now it may be that when the
telephone duty for co-op is assign-
ed and when Black Cat excite-
ment is over, our halls will tame
down some. I think we all hope
so, but I also think that now is the
time to take stock of this year's
possibilities and to plan ahead for
a good year. Let's get off to a
good year by keeping the halls
quiet for study. We're too old for
proctors!

A Homebody.

Alice Beardsley

The scene is the Emory Univer-
ity campus at 8 a. m. Men are
around, and in the distance a
weary, bleary eyed female is seen
struggling toward the halls of
learning. As the female draws
nearer we find that it is Jane-
Meadows who usually belongs at
Agnes Scott.

It is very early. With effort she
finds and enters the halls of learn-,
ing. Not knowing where the busi-
ness class meets, this same female
peers into several class rooms.
When she sees other females in
these class rooms she passes ocu
When she finds a room with forty
men and not one single female she
will go in. She finds this room
and goes in.

She is ten minutes late. She
takes a front row seat while the
eighty male eyes whistle (two for
each male). The professor cannot
fail to notice this new arrival and
so he gives to her the first ques-
tion of the current session.

"Miss Meadows, what is law?"
Gets Shock Treatment

The female flounders. She is
still reacting under the combined
forces of "It is very early in the
morning," "She takes a front tow
seat," and "The eighty male eyes
whistle (two for each male)."

"This really ought to be sim-
ple," she thinks. "Mere defini-
tion. 'What is law?' That's what
he said, 'What is law?' Law is . . .
hmmmm . . . Well, law is the cus-
toms of . . . hmmmm . . . "

Into the vast vacuum suddenly
comes the words of her dear fath-
er .. . dear, dear father. So she
says the words of her dear, dear
father. She tells the Emory uni-
versity business law professor,
"Law is the last guess of the Su-
preme Court."

Union Sopranos?
Even if the All-Girl Orchestra
with Evelyn and her magic violin
and the golden voice of Gloria did
dedicate the hymn of the evening
to Randolph Macon, its director
chose three of Agnes Scott's gol-
den voices to participate in its
Sunday program. Our golden
voices, Helen Currie, Nora Ann
and Mary Beth Little, wore
blouses and skirts while the regu-
lar orchestra members wore their
convenitonal costumes. It was ob-
vious, you see, that our golden
voices were new additions. After
the program curious members of
the audience questioned the girls
about their presence in the choir.
The crowning blow came when
one gentleman wanted to know if
the Atlanta Music union had
forced them on the program!

Then there is the story making
dinner table conversation of
freshman Kathy Davis who boldly
challenged Ann Hough to a tennis
match without knowing that
Hough was campus tennis queen-
As Tennyson said (with reserva-
tions) "It is better to have played
and lost than never to have played.

McCain Proposes Fifth Ideal, Service

New College Goal

To Appear

In Spring Bulletin

The democratic ideal of service
to the community will be express-
ed in a fifth Agnes Scott ideal,
President J. R. McCain announced
this week.

With the publication of the
handbook next spring the adminis-
tration will formally present the
new ideal.

Dr. McCain stated that any ex-
pression of opinion or recommend-
ations of wording of the fifth ideal
from the student body will be wel-
come.

The proposed ideal, Dr. McCain
explained, will embody the essence
of the Platonic conception of serv-
ice, "having torches, they pass
them on to one another."

"We have always done it, we
just never stated it," said Dr.
McCain, in explaining the ad-
dition of the new ideal. The
other aims, he explained, which in-
clude high intellectual attainment,
a simple religious faith, physical
well being, and personality devel-
opment, in reality culminate in
the proposed fifth ideal.

"If we get this four-fold devel-
opment, it is not to keep but to
pass on," Dr. McCain stated.

The last paragraph of the Agnes
Scott ideal in the handbook ex-
presses the basic purpose of the
fifth ideal as proposed by the pres-
ident. The paragraph reads, "Ev-
ery student wishes to make some
definite contribution to the com-
munity in which she lives, to help
the underprivileged, and to main-
tain an educated and rational
viewpoint toward the social and
economic world of today. An ed-
ucated well-rounded person stands

Battle Begins
Among Classes
For S. G. Cup

Stressing class participation in
the ideals of the college, Student
Government announced Monday
night that the cup for class spir-
it to be awarded in April will go
to the class best living up to the
Agnes Scott ideal.

Student Government will be re-
sponsible for presenting material
for judging to faculty judges,
Mrs. Rebekah Clarke, Miss Lou-
ise Hale and S. G. Stukes, who
will decide the winner.

Specific points on which the
award will be made include chap-
el attendance, class club partici-
pation, class member participa-
tion in service groups sponsored
by Christian Association and in
work projects for World Service
Council, attendance at athletic
games, and the general coopera-
tion shown by the class working
as a group. Projects the individ-
ual classes sponsor will be consid-
ered and class presidents will be
asked to hand in a list of their
activities during the last of
March. Participation in a class
song contest to be held in Jan-
uary also will count points to-
ward victory.

Regulations, Deadline
For Book Award

Competition for the annual Lou-

officially this week with the an-
nouncement of the rules by a com-
mittee of the English department
and the setting of the end of fall
quarter as the deadline for entries.

Founded 15 years ago to foster
love and appreciation for good
books, the award is named for

With cheers and jubilation, the soph-senior stunt night
section in the gym received the judges' decision and the
"Big Black Cat" Saturday night at Agnes Scott's 30th Black
Cat stunt.

George P. Hayes' announcement, "the judges award the
cat to the sophomores," came af-
ter he and the other two judges,
Miss Charlotte Hunter, and Wal-
ter B. Posey, had deliberated only
about five minutes.

In "Caterbury Tails," the soph
presentation, Bunny Brannon,
footnote, told of animals left after
the flood. Leo L. Lion, played by
Mim Steele, the giraffe by Steve
Page, the turtle by Dot Porter, the
hare by Frankie Francisco, the
gingham dog by Angie Anderson,
and the canary by Olive Wilkin-
son, composed " the menagerie
which finally acknowledged the
cat, Gene Aiken, king. St. Peter.
Margaret Hamer, and two angels
introduced the stunt with a pro-
logue.

The frosh stunt, "Phangs of
Conscience," featured Peggy Heck
as Aggie, an off-the-ball freshman
who was made a model student by
Connie Killrat, played by Jo Ann
Piastre. The roommate was Betty
Jane Crowther, and Barbara
Macht and Beryl Crews were
maids.

Both the soph and the frosh
decorations included black cats
with flashing phosphorescent eyes.

Every class now at Agnes Scott
has won the cat except the fresh-
men, who have another chance at
it next year. The kitty sports a
bell with '47 on it, won by the se-
niors their freshman year; a gold
'48 bell signifying the two junior
victories; and he'll soon add a sil-
ver '49 one to the collection.

Polly Harris was chairman of
the freshman stunt, and Easy
Beale led the sophs to victory.

Nancy Dendy played the piano
for the sophomores.

New Art Instructor Likes Warm Colors, Travel;
Reveals Self in 2 Week Exhibit of Her Work

By Mac Compton

Even a casual glance at the oils
by Miss Priscilla Lobeck, instruc-
tor in creative art, will tell a
great deal about her.

The rich, warm, vivid colors of
most of the pictures, like "July in
February" or "Mirror Madness",
show that Miss Lobeck must be
from the south in fact, Miami.
The ingenious names, "Night Life"
for a pair of red shoes and rain
boots carelessly dropped, or the
communist speaker with red back-
ground, called "Lecture on Reds",
must prove something.

Miss Lobeck, new to Agnes Scott
this year after studying at Wes-
leyan conservatory and in New
York City, is tall, slender, with
loose brown hair and dark hazel
eyes which light up when she
smiles. She had definite ideas

about art, with reasons to back
them up.

At the mention of the predomi-
nance of pure colors in her can-
vases, Miss Lobeck declared, "I

Miss Lobeck's oils went on ex-
hibit in the art department on
third floor Buttrick Hall yes-
terday, opening the year's series
of art exhibits with a two-week
showing.

She received a Bachelor of
Fine Arts degree from Wesley-
an conversatory, and is the only
present member of the faculty
holding that degree.

hate mucky colors". She added
that she probably used the bril-
liant colors because Florida, where
they were painted, is so vivid.

"But notice 'Lagoons Beyond' or
'Gay Heads' the colors are more

muted. That's because they're
products of Martha's Vineyard,
where all colors seem tempered
because of the different light."

Post-war shortages have hit art-
ists as hard as anyone, and there
are no mounts to be had. Miss
Lobeck went to a junk yard for
old frames, painted them with flat
white paint and then tinted them
with water colors to make them
usable.

One picture in her collection,
"That's Me", was a self-portrait.
"You are your best model because
you're always there," she said.
"After all," you can paint yourself
any way you please."

Agnes Scott's new art instruc-
tor turned out to have been editor
of the newspaper at Wesleyan
conservatory; she admitted she

Seniors Revive
Little Girls Day

The seniors will reinstate Hie
class tradition of Little Girls' Day
the day before Investiture, Nov. 2,
20 years after the custonj began.

When the seniors voted not to
have a curtailed Little Girls' Bay
last year, it was the only hreak
in the 20-year tradition that the
day before each class' Investiture
is a kindergarten recess for romp-
ing seniors.

Last year the seniors burned
"Tissie Bouthru", effigy of the lit-
tle girl, in place of the traditional
last fling as carefree children.

This year's seniors accepted a
plan similar to the one rejected by
the class of 1946 Little Girls'
day horseplay won't extend to the
classroom as used to be the plan;
and it will end after chapel.

Miss Annie Mae Christie, as-
sistant professor of English, and
Miss Katherine Omwake, associ-
ate professor of psychology, will
award prizes for the cutest and
most original little girl and little
"boy".

Textbook Shortage
May Last to 1949

The outlook is poor Toir relief eft"
the book shortage which has nit
Agnes Scott and other colleges
this fall in the form of text-less
classes, J. C. Tart, college treas-
urer, predicted this week.. .

With almost all departments af-
fected by delayed or canceled book
orders, Mr. Tart said 1 that publish-
ers offer no hope of relief in the
near future, and perhaps until af-
ter 1948.

Several orders sent last June, as
well as many orders sent at the
beginning of this term, have not.
been filled. Some publishers feay.e
been forced to ask for cancela-
tions while others have raised the
prices on new orders to meet the
rising costs of publication. Few
publishers have been able to give:
any information concerning the:-
late books or the dates of arrival^,
explained Mr. Tart.

Almost all departments have
been affected by the book short-
age. The list of courses still laclc-
ing texts includes economics 201;
biology 201 and 301, political sci-
ence 201, chemistry 301, 302; and
305, history 101 and 215, English
101 and 211, and Spanish 301.

When the Atlanta board in
charge of G.I. books requested \ i
list of every textbook used in ev-
ery Agnes Scott course, S. G.
Stukes, registrar, was unable to
compile a list, since the shortage is,
so acute.

Hear ye! Hear ye! The fate of
the old black cat has finally been
decided. This much strived for
piece of "inanimity" now blissfully
reposes in Rebekah lobby with
the '49ers it is making its home
thanks to "Ye Caterbury Tails"
(no apologies to Mr. Chaucer).
Saturday night, October 12, 1946,
has gone down in history as far as
the sophomores are concerned.

From the time they paraded in-
to the gym to cheer for the gold
and white, the sophs and seniors
showed how badly they wanted
that cat. With Betty Blackmon,
Butch Hayes, Punky Mattison,
and B. A. Ziegler leading their
"Dendy" songs, each one had the
audience swaying in rhythm.

The stunt itself gave the sophs
another reason to yell. Easy Beale,
soph stunt chairman, really knew
what she wanted when she placed
Jo Snow at the head of the writ-
ing committee. The things they
did not let Noah's Ark divulge
would not do to tell.

The cast was made up of so
many talking animals that it out-
shone Alice's Wonderland. Mar-
garet Hamer, as Saint Peter him-
self was whisked across the stage
on a luxurious white carriage (any
resemblance to a trunk-truck was
purely coincidental) due to the in-
geniousness of the properties com-
mittee.

Deadpan Bunny B r a n n o n
brought the house down as a most
efficient footnote, while dreary-
eyed turtle Dot Porter, crawled
across the stage as though she
were really weighted down by
countless trials and tribulations.

Mim Steele, the orangish lion,
roared her way around the stage
with ease; Sara Belle Rosenberg
actually looked natural swinging
that butcher's cleaver over her
head. Need it be said how appro-
priately Louise Gehrken played a
er ahem kitty except it was
"that kind" of a cat? Canine An-
gie Anderson let out some doggy
yelps that must have come
straight from her gingham heart!

The rest of the class did an
equally good job in portraying
their characters: Frankie Francis-
co was a typical bugs bunny; Olive
Wilkinson flittered about exactly
like a canary, while Steve Page
had an admirably long neck even
gor a giraffe; mechanical panda
Betsy Baker, jerked about as

Sophs . . .

By Charlsie Smith

"So far, too good!" was the
whispered comment of one ner-
vous senior to another during the
presentation of the freshman
Black Cat skit, Saturday night.
The class of 1950 didn't capture
the cat, but it's "Phangs of Con-
science" offered stiff competition
to the victorious sophomores.

After vigorous cheering the
frosh opened the curtain to reveal
a typical Inman room in which
two dusky maids, in the persons
of Barbara Macht and Beryl
Crews, bemoaned Aggie's Peggy
Heck's lack of Agnes Scott spir-
it. Connie Killrat, alias the Black
Cat herself, portrayed by Jo Ann
Piastre, saved the day by coming
to live with Aggie and her room-
mate, Betty Jane Crowther.

During a series of stormy ques-
tions between Aggie and her "con-
science," Killrat, Aggie meets and
conquers numerous familiar cam-
pus temptations such as breaking
rules, refraining from studying,
and hiding a box from home.

Jessie Hodges, Emily Ann Reid,
Nora Ann Little, Sara Jane Camp-
bell, Barbara Young, Nancy Wil-
kinson, Todd McCain, Patty Over-
ton, Dot Davis, and Phyllis Nar-
more aided Killrat in making Ag-
gie unselfish by graciously offer-
ing to share her box from home.

Nancy Wilkinson complete in
calamine lotion, and sock curlers,
stole the scene with her matter-
of-fact stage air.

In the concluding act Aggie had
a change of heart and gave Killrat
a silver bell in token of her es-
teem. Kilrat endeared herself
equally to the student audience by
tempering his advice with the
consoling comments that studying
"can be overdone" and that even
though one may not be too bright,
everyone knows that "beauty and
brains don't mix."

Scenery and decoration chair-
men, Patty Phillips and Marjorie
Major, deserve a hand, particular-
ly for the mural with the angel
kitties diving among the clouds,
and the window with the "glass"
which Killrat peeped through.

Play By Play

By Lidie Lee

It not only rained it poured Friday but the hockey game continued.
Remarked one player to another, as they mopped their brows, "It's
raining so hard you can't tell whether you're hot or not." With play-
ers slipping and sliding after the puck, spectators who were hardy
enough to stay during the downpour saw a game rarely equaled on
the campus. Despite falls the play was fast as sister classes com-
bined to offer good competition for the season's first game. Next week
the seniors meet the juniors and the sophs line up against the frosh
for a start at class competition.

PARTY PLANS

A. A. members are standing on their heads as they prepare for
Saturday night's Town and Country Club party. Don't forget if you
haven't signed up to go do so today. It's the biggest blow-out of
A. A.'s post war season and they'd hate for you to miss it.

Getting on to the personal side. Fall tang in the air makes the
energetic, including your sports editor, long for nice long horseback
rides through the country. At least that's the way this column would
have started if it had been written Sunday. Now writing from the top
of the bookcase it goes somewhat difrerently. Does anyone know a
good remedy for a beginner who took horseback riding too seriously
Sunday morning and can't sit down to write the sports news of the
campus? Suggestions would come in handy too for aching muscles
that hate the sight of stairs. Well it's all in the game and recovery
must come so we're looking forward to the fall horseshow, Nov. 23.
Got a special class for pre-beginners, Gene?

SEEING DOUBLE?

Doubles tennis tournament starts this week with a good set of
players entering. Manager Jackie Stewart expects to have the tourna-
ment finished before weather gets too bad for play. Last year's tourn-
ment bogged down when winter set in.

Swimming club tryouts continue Friday of this week and for those
who enjoy a good dog paddle every once in a while plunge period is
continuing Monday through Friday from 5 to 5:45 p. m.

CORRECTION PLEASE

Clarifying a point. Last week's column said a new A. A. cup was to
be awarded for class spirit to the group doing most to support their
team during the year. The cup is being awarded by Student Govern-
ment for the class that best typifies the Agnes Scott ideal. Attend-
ance at athletic affairs will be only one of several points for which
the cup will be awarded.

On a soggy field a strong senior-
sophomore combination trounced a
freshman- junior team 3-0 in Fri-
day's hockey opener to begin
what looks like a hard fast sea-
son.

In the first half the playing was
fast but showed lack of polish and
practice. Chris Yates and Helen
Currie succeeded in stopping the
frosh-juniors, while Agnes Harns-
berger carried the puck far afield
for the senior-sophs. Kagie John-
son scored the first goal for the
senior-soph team with a hard
drive into the cage. The half end-
ed 1-0 in favor of the senior-sophs.
Rain Speeds Game

The second half began with an
almost complete new lineup. As
the half began so did the rain.
With players running and sliding
on the slippery turf the game was
speeded up to a faster tempo. Lady
Major, junior manager, was doing
a fine job of tackling. Jean Fras-
er, center forward, scored two
more points for the senior-sophs
and the game ended amid the
downpour, with a score 3-0 in
favor of the senior-sophs.

The game showed a fair esti-
mate of what spectators may ex-
pect to see during the season. The
sophs showed the strongest team,
but the seniors, though lacking re-
serves, played with the most fi-
nesse. Juniors at this early stage
need more practice and team co-
operation. Few of the freshmen
men played in Friday's game, but
the ones that did showed very
good form.

300 First Nighters Open
Sophs' New Pairadice

By Calico ithe swooners toward the bar at

A combination of fiery red and 'the other end of the room. Bridge

fiends concentrated despite the

black streamers, candle-corked
bottles, and dice-shooting cher-
ubs greeted the gaze of the
throng which dashed to the
Pairadice after the stunt. In
judgement day manner a soph
standing at the door gave every
tenth pilgrim a ticket for a free
doughnut.

The mid-way Purgatory feeling
was heightened by the sight of
many wayworn wanderers forget-
ting their troubles (with the aid
of cokes and chatter), of friend
welcoming friend, and of heav-
enly music drifting from some-
where just beyond. Time seemed
to disintegrate. The wilting of
candles, the deepening of dark
circles, and the balding of the
overworked dance floor were the
only indications of tempus foot-
ing it.

Girls in white and red and in
white and yellow ogled at the
wall dotted with entries for the
soph Pin-Up-Boy contest while
their dates unconsciously straight-
ed their ties and tried to divert

din, hep-cats cut the linoleum in
the brawlroom, and the tapers
sputtered lower and lower. The
mellow atmosphere soothed de-
jected frosh and calmed deliri-
ous sophomores. The only blues
present were on records.

Judging by the number of free
doughnuts given away, approxi-
mately three hundred people
stormed the place. It was ru-
mored, however, that many full of
faith, hope, and poverty came up
again and again trusting in the
fates. But then, if all rumors
were real, we'd have to build a
dorm to house them.

Although the floor, chairs, win-
dow sills, and chandeliers were
covered with surging humanity,
mangling with the crowd was
half the fun of it. As one happy
Aggie said while she munched a
sandwich, looked at the hand-
some men, and kept time to the
juke-box bedlam, "Ummm, this
isn't college, this is Paradise re-
gained!"

Off the
Copy Hook

Signs of the times, (the times
meaning, now that the tourniquet
of war-made man-shortage is
loosened, Hottentots are again in
circulation): Having ordered date
slips according to last year's de-
mand, Miss Hunter said that this
year's complete supply is dwind-
ling at such a rate that a record-
er will have to be made within
the next few weeks. Ain't it won-
derful !

Dr. Garber was slightly start-
led by Ann Eidson's setting up
apparatus periodically in this Bi-
ble class and performing an in-
tricate experiment on a grass-
hopper. It seemed the creature
had to be checked very fifteen
minutes, Bible class or no Bible
class. And after all who are we
to stop the march or should we
say hop and skip of science?

And then there was the horri-
fied boarder who wondered what
the laundry did with "bed-ticks."

Or did you hear the story about
the harried junior who was fran-
tically pouring over the lunch
trays the other day? Of course
the line had to stop as the curi-

EDITORIALS

The Answer Is 'No'

Lately the usual rumbles among the faculty, administra-
tion, and others against an "over-organized" campus have
been increasing. We heard it said last week that we were a
college who extra-curricular activities are on a university
basis.

So far, the issue hasn't come into the open, but has showed
itself only in a tendency to freeze the list of student activi-
ties at its present stage of complexity.

We don't think we have an over-organized campus. There
are some over-organized people on campus; but we cannot
see that this situaton indicates that there are too many
activities in the handbook.

The trouble is that everyone notices the over-organized
people because they stand out and it's true, at least some
of the time, that these students don't channel their energies
in the directon of the courses they came to college to take.
But do we notce the much larger group on campus the un-
der-organized girls?

College ought to bring out not only the best, but the
most, in its students. The girl who can belong to the max-
imum number of clubs under the point system, plus com-
mittees and groups that carry no points, and still keep up
with her classes ought to have the opportunity to give all
she can. Certainly no one can deny that they have this
opportunity now.

But there are girls at Agnes Scott who haven't joined any-
thing. These aren't always the girls who channel all their
energies and time to books, by any means. Too often these
are girls who would find in serving with a small group the
feeling of community living, better than in mere passive
membership in the college.

If we're going to start worrying about organization at
Agnes Scott, it's girls who don't have a meeting on their
calendar from one month to the next whom we ought to
worry about. College isn't giving them what they really want,
and they certainly aren't giving what the college hopes for
from each of us. It is of the highest importance that we keep
a roster of clubs and organizations broad enough to make
room for these students.

As far as we know, all attempts working toward elimina-
tion of any activities now on campus have led to the conclu-
sion that every organization we have serves some useful pur-
pose to some Agnes Scott student. No one is willing to abolish
the club or activity that might mean more than any other, to
even one student.

And anyway, the sugjgestions we've heard for cutting
down on student activities have all contemplated finding
and dropping some organization that is not useful or that
is not active at present. But what good would this have
done? An inactive organization doesn't take up a signifi-
cant part of anyone's time.

Maybe with the recent proposal by Representative Coun-
cil that clubs drop any member who misses three meetings
in a row, and the re-apportionment of activity points plan-
ned for later this year, the situation of over-organized cam-
pus or over-organized students, whichever is causing the
trouble, will resolve itself. These two actions show that stu-
dents, too, feel that we need legislation to protect against
themselves girls who can't or don't like to say no.

Meanwhile, we see the point of the faculty and adminis-
tration members who are concerned about too much organ-
ization; especially when instructors are expected to fit tests
and papers around student activities.

The issue arises from divergent points of view the or-
ganization leader stands at one end, facing the instructor
who, rightly, is going to fight to uphold the academic stand-
ards of the college. To strike the balanced program which
is the goal of all of us, we think our system as it stands is
good. It must be left to each girl to choose how many or-
ganizations she will join, so long as she keeps within her
allotted points. Saying 'no" when it's necessary, not cut-
ting down on the present interest channels on campus, is
the mature way to handle the problem.

Hold That Line

Weary feet? In a big hurry? Helping out a friend? Well,
so are we. And who likes to see even their best friend break
those long meal lines! Please . . . hold your own place down
and leave the breaking to the lab laborers. And don't you new
gals realize that the line begins in Rebecca lobby? Even a
bridge game rates, and you might give the girls time to get
in the door who wanted that food badly enough to come
early. Or, as we say in outdoor sports, hold that line!

Galley Slave

Alice Beardsley

As a slave of the galleys, I
have conscientiously attempted to
discover whose popularity has
been acclaimed by all young
women who want that "forever
young" smell. Like so many other
innovations, this fragrance was
for and introduced at the Black
Cat Stunt by Miss Louise Gehr-
ken, sophomore. It is rumored
that the scent was brewed in one
of the third floor Rebekah bath
tubs, but as the paper goes to
press this rumor has not yet been
confirmed. Margaret Hamer,
friend of Miss Gehrken, reluct-
antly released the formula after
she was made to realize that the
information would be of great
benefit to the entire campus com-
munity. The fragrance is com-
posed of one-half measure Sweet
Pea perfume and one-half meas-
ure Honey Suckle, and can be ob-
tained at any of the McCrory or
Wool worth department stores.
Miss Gehrken cannot be located
for comment.

Three seniors stood in the street
in front of Buttrick last week
looking wistfully through the iron
bars of a water drain to where
something shiny shone. It was a
quarter. It was Jo Benton's quar-
ter. Ordinarily, losing a quarter
wouldn't have mattered, but at
this particular time it did mat-
ter a great deal. The three sen-
iors after concentrated effort,
succeeded in removing the top of
the water drain. The problem was
how to bend down to the quarter
after one got in the \ drain. Ginny
Dickson, one of the party, decided
that going down head first would
retrieve the valuable coin, and
proceeded to prove the hypothesis
when freshman Jessie Hodges
came nearby to ask "What 'cha
doin', Ginny, gettin' your mind
out of the gutter?"

Comment of the week goes to
Ann Ballard who, dropping one of
her straws from her dinner tray,
exclaimed "Oh, goodness, build-
ing up the deficit!" '

Sundry folk turned out last
Wednesday night to watch the
shooting stars in "the greatest
spectacle of the 20th century."
One group was turning eyes heav-
enward when the voice of Fluff
Paisley woefully wailed, "Oh you
all, I can't see 'em. I forgot my
glasses. I can't see 'em. Where
are they?"

Racket of the week: Harriotte
and Laura Winchester call home
to Macon, Georgia, and deposit
fifty-five cents in the machine.
When call is finished, and receiver
is hung up, machine coughs up
said fifty-five cents. Laura, tak-
ing in the situation at a glance,
quickly scoops up the change. She
strolls away. Phone rings and
Laura hearing its call strolls back
to answer. The operator demands
her fifty-five cents. Laura puts
the coins back . . . slowly . . . one
by one. She plods away. Harri-
otte, who remained behind to
watch for further developments,
bursts into sister's room to say
that the machine coughed the fif-
ty-five cents back up again.
Friends reported that neither girl
answered a single other telephone
call that evening.

Debate Entries
Swell To 24

Seven universities and colleges
have accepted bids to the All
Southern Intercollegiate Debate
Tournament, sponsored by Pi Al-
pha Phi Debating society, Nov.
15.

Tulane, Ole Miss, University of
Florida, University of South Caro-
lina, Georgia Tech, Randolph-Ma-
con Woman's College, and Emory
are sending two teams each, Louisa
Aichel, president of the society,
announced.

Invitations to the tournament
were extended to leading southern
universities and colleges having
Phi Beta Kappa rating. Twenty
colleges may be represented at
the tournament.

The subject for debate this year,
Resolved that labor should be
given a direct share in the man-
agement of industry, was chosen
by representatives of National De-
bating Fraternities for all inter-'
collegiate debating this season,
stated George P. Hayes, professor
of English and sponsor of Pi Alpha
Phi.

Debates will be judged by a
single critic except for the even-
ing debate. Judging will be based
on a system of points given to each
individual. Team weight will be
ascertained by totaling the indi-
vidual scores, Louisa Aichel ex-
plained.

An evening debate between the
best negative and affirmative
teams will determine the winner
of the tournament. This debate
will be open to the public. An
award is made to the best indi-
vidual debater.

ductions, "The Long Christmas
Dinner," by Thornton Wilder and
"Sunday Costs Five Pesos" by J.
Niggli will be presented to mem-
bers of the campus community and
friends.

"The Long Christmas Dinner,"

people who age over a hundred
years before the eyes of the audi-
enc as they sit at a Christmas
table. The cast includes Sara Belle
Rosenberg, Carolyn Gilchrist, Wil-
la Wagner, Pat McManmon, Mary
Manly, Jean Estes, and Georgia
Powell. Male parts will be taken

Five Pesos" is laid in a Mexican
village. Scenery for the play will
be designed by the art department
under the direction of H. C. For-
man, professor of art. Members of
the cast are Reese Newton, Bar-
bara Macris, Polly Miles, Helen
Currie and Valeria Von Lehe.

China For Chiang
80 Per Cent Price

Declaring that the Chinese peo-
ple are today 80 percent behind
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek,
Dr. Frank W. Price, who has spent
39 years in China in missionary
and diplomatic work, emphasized
the strength, simplicity, and high
ideals of China's leader in chapel
Saturday, Oct. 19.

Dr. Price has served as personal
advisor to the Generalissimo and
as liason agent between the Unit-
ed States and Chinese armies dur-
ing the war. At the San Francis-
co United Nations conference, Dr.
Price attended on behalf of China.

In a wholehearted endorsement
of Chiang's personal and public
policies, Dr. Price described him
as a "military genius, with the
bearing of a soldier, and the soul
of a poet". Dr. Price cited Chiang's
faith, iron will, and love of demo-
cracy as the forces which held the
government together during the
war.

"Not once has he relinquished
his ideal," said Dr. Price, "to cre-
ate a strong, united, and demo-
cratic China which can take her
place in the new world of today."

Underground ApproachBrings
InterviewWithConradThibault

By Ginny Andrews

Crawling under the stage and
through the prop room may not
be an orthodox means of gaining
an interview, but it is an effective
way.

Stockingfooted, we crept up the
stairs from the prop room to the
wings of the stage, our shoes in
one hand and a pencil and pad in
the other. As we poked a head
up in bewteen a broom handle and
a potted fern, our eyes were on a
level with a pair of beautifully pol-
ished shoes. Shoes led up to trous-
ers and tails, trousers and tails
led up to an amused and slightly
perplexed face the face of Mr.
Conrad Thibault, intently watch-
ing our maneuvering up the stairs.

"Looking f or an interview?"

Net resuit: loss of our battered
dignity, and a talk with a gay and
attractive baritone.

Over an intermission repast of
cough drops we talked about Mr.
Thibault's main interest music.

"I sang in school choruses and
choirs, grand experience, but it

was not until I went off to college
that I decided for sure that I
wanted to make music my life
career. After the first few months
of college I knew that it wasn't
for me but that I could only be
happy with music so I left college,
went back home, and began to
study music seriously."

While speaking of his interests
Mr. Thibualt grinned and said, "I
bet you don't know about one of
my accomplishments. This may
surprise you, but I've been a judge
for 'Miss America' beauty contests
for the past seven years and do
you know that out of those con-
tests, I've picked first place win-
ners four times, and second plac-
ers twice!! Quite a record, don't
you think?"

With a combination of music,
personality, and interests varying
from books to beauty, Mr. Thi-
bault was a wonderful person to
interview friendly and lots of
fun!

the first half of last year, the
budget committee recommended
decreased percentages for Student
Government, Mortar Board, Hand-
book, and Aurora. Corresponding
increases were divided between
The Agnes Scott News and.

M. Hollandsworth
State C. A. Offier

Marianna Hollandsworth, Agnes
Scott junior, was elected secretary
of the organized Georgia Studenl
Christian associations at a con-
ference last weekend at Camp
Salem near Conyers.

The need for moral leadership
in America held a high place in
the topics for discussion at the
conference, led by Dr. W. G. Hen-
ry of the Methodist Board otf
Education.

With executive officers of the
South Carolina state association
who attended tbe meetings, the
group discussed plans for a possible
joint Georgia-South Carolina con-

Murphey Candler and the gym
were the settings for the A.A.
Town and Country Club party
Saturday night. From all reports,
this was decidedl: one of the
best parties ever given at Agnes
Scott. The "Town" party was in
Murphey Candler where the Scott
girls and their dates enjoyed
bridge, dancing, and listening to
fragments of the football games.
Down in the gym, the more ener-
getic ones participated in real
southern square dancing. There
was food and frolic and everyone
had fun.

HOCKEY EXPERT HERE

Mrs. Elizabeth Dunn, of Woodbury, N. J., is on campus this week
instructing hockey players on all the latest methods used by the
United States Field Hockey association. As an umpire for the asso-
ciation she is on call to help any college or university who wants to
brush up on its hockey technique.

Mrs. Dunn was a member of a touring team used by the asso-
ciation before the war to help improve playing in schools through-
out the country. A hockey fiend from way back, she's been play-
ing since grammar school days.
During the war she stopped touring the country for hockey's sake
and covered ground as she followed her Army husband. Mrs. Dunn is
a lithe dark-haired woman with a nice smile and an air of authority.
Practicing for the first time with Agnes Scott players Monday after-
noon she deftly pointed out mistakes and then took over a stick to
send long drives down the field. Remarked two spectators as they
watched her speed after the puck, "Everybody's dying on their feet
chasing her and she calls for action."

BOUQUETS TO A. A.

A. A.'s town and country club party was one of the most success-
ful the campus has seen recently. Bouquets go to Genet Heery,
Ann Hough and all the rest of the wonderful A. A. board who
planned it. You all must have an in with the boys at Tech and,
Emory to judge from the good looking men wandering around
campus.

Marie Cuthbertson, A. S. C. golf manager, is up in the bigtime with
her picture in the October issue of "The Woman Golfer". This "golf
goes back to school" issue shows Marie at the Carolinas Junior golf
championships held in Greensboro this summer.

Who says the "Farmer in the

There were scads of quick changes
Saturday night at the A.A. Town
and Country Club dance, when
Mr. and Miss Dell shuttled from
the gym's Kountry Klub to Mur-
phey Candler's Town Club of A.
A.'s post-war career.

Eager but ignorant hottentots
and their dates dashed down to
the straw-decked Kountry Klub at
8 p.m. for a good old-fashioned
barn dance led by Fred Collette
and his demonstrators. Social
dancing in Murphey Candler vied
for popularity with a game of
bingo.

won

coveted hockey stick when she
was a soph. So this was my chal-
lenge, if they can do it, why can't
I?

Learns With Ease

It is so easy to learn to play
in the gym. All you do is reach for
a stick, carefully doctored with
adhesive tape, and fire away.

But once you get out on the
field, it's a different story. For
the object of the game is to hit a
practically infinitesimal white ball
with a huge variety of strokes.
There is my drive, or the run-
back-you-missed-the-ball stroke.
And my dribble which involves
both kicking and hitting. There
is my left hand lunge, which
guarantees to trip up any opposi-
tion with ease. And my job is a
thing of beauty. I haven't tried
it yet.

Turf Going

And then there " is '"the case of
the turf that just doesn't happen
to be there and of the stick that
does. But in spite of my bumps
and bruises, I would be game if
it just weren't for the running
up and puffing down the field at
such incredible speeds. And the
dogs that considerally hamper my
style, and the delicate "grace"
with which I hit the ground. .

I played in a game last Friday
and have already received two of-
fers, one by the sophs to come
out with the junior team, and one
by the juniors to be water boy.

po of the game was set. The pass-
ing from center to left wing or
inner proved to be the seniors'
winning strategy.

During the first period the play-
ing was divided fairly evenly be-
tween the two halves, but the
seniors made their playing count.
Twice during the first period the
junior goalie was drawn to the
side. The offense passed a short
shot to Radford at center, and
she scored.

In the second half the juniors
played a more offensive game and
though they stayed in the scoring
circle, the senior defense was too
strong for them to score. The
final point was made by a long
run by Gene Goode on the side
with a pass to Radford for the
score.

The freshmen surprised the
sophomores with a fast, alert
team. The game was one of con-
tinuous action and the players
stayed on the run. In the first
half the freshmen held the sopho-
mores to only one goal. The single
score was made by Lorton Lee.

In the second half, though the
sophs seemed to out-play the
freshmen they were unable to
score. This was due in part to the
excellent playing of goalie An-
nelle Ward.

Junior beginners won, 5-1, in a
fight with the sophs which pre-
ceded the regular game. Playing
was good for the short training,
and the classes can begin to count
on a larger number of valuable
reserves for the regular teams.
Junior stars were Jean and Jane
da Silva. Sophs were led by Betsy
Baker.

There's Still Eggs

Jack Sprat who "could eat no fat and his wife who could
eat no lean" would find themselves either eating nothing or
not being so particular if they were living in Atlanta today.
Moreover old Mother Hubbard would know better than to
even hope for a bone for her poor dog.

The meat shortage has been a vital issue for months, com-
ing to a climax of hot charges and counter charges that have
kept newspapers and radios vibrating. Last week price con-
trol was lifted; as a result the problem is now one of cost
rather than supply. The only hope of keeping the cow from
jumping over the moon of actual value lies in the good sense
of the consumer.

Even now it costs Agnes Scott $100 every time a meat meal
is served. Naturally the dieticians have had to use imagination
to find occasional substitutes. The results of their resource
fulness have really been amazing when we
shortage has mean to some. Pollyanna attitudes can be over-
done, but it seems that in this phase of post war living Agnes
Scott has been unusually fortunate. Eggs and souffle are
better than black bread and synthetic broth.

A line offers opportunities. A
bread line, that is. It offers op-
portunities for observation not
found in any other field of en-
deavor. It has recently come to
my attention through various
sources that from several vantage
points in the dining room the at-
titudes of students coming in for
food may be observed.

To understand fully these at-
titudes it is necessary to know
that they are, to some extent, in-
fluenced by the student's out-
look on life.

The freshman looks, "Life is
wonderful." The sophomore is not
quite so sure but does grant that

Fight That Droop

We almost never urge Agnes Scott students to organize
resistance groups, or actively to oppose measures which those
in authority think best for us. The News has believed in and
advocated the calmer method of discussion and evolution
whenever we have felt our rights were being invaded.

But today, drastic means are the only means.

The announcement came Sunday that all clothing curbs
are lifted, revealing the fiendish ideas of the manufacturers;
that with the O.P.A.'s relaxing of restrictions, skirts can
droop and droop until they are stopped by the ceiling on
shoes; that the new unrestrained styles will appear next
spring at southern resorts

Our last straw dissolved. Before long we'll be wearing so
much skirt we won't need steps anymore, we can just float
down.

It's time to act! Passive resistance may do it. Don't throw
away that suit you wore to all the high school football games.
There are only 450 of us, but if we refuse to rip a single hem
we may yet make the world safe for women's legs.

It's up to us. We must strike for a floor on skirts if we don't
want our skirts on the floor.

Your Right To Say It

Dear Editor,

The day students want to ex-
press their appreciation for the
nice way in which their rooms
have been fixed up. The new pic-
lures, lamps, new cushions, and
all the other improvements add
greatly to the enjoyment of free
moments spent there. We no long-
er feel like the forgotten conting-
ent of Agnes Scott.

Happy and thankful though we
may be, we should like to offer in
a wee small voice a few sugges-
tions for further improvements.
Two things that are badly needed
lor the day student room in the
basement of Buttrick are a pencil
sharpener and a large calendar.
Moreover, the Coca-Cola situation
for day students who bring their
lunch is drastic. Since the appear-
ance of the sign in the bookstore

over the Coca-Cola box: "Positive-
ly no bottles are to be taken from
the bookstore", there has been a
stupendous rise in juvenile delin-
quency and an improvement in the
native ingenuity of day students.

Bottles secreted under skirts,
sweaters, etc., are a bulky prob-
lem. Some poor souls have even
tried pouring a Coca-Cola into the
palms of their hands and rushing
to eat their lunch before it leaks
out! This situation could easily be
remedied 'jy placing in the book-
store paper cups at the disposal of
the day students.

These suggestions take care of
the present needs, but it would be
nice to think that day students of
future generations will be provided
with lockers.

Three Grateful Day Students.

the abyss of doubt and cynicism
and looks, "Life!!" The senior,
alas, has fallen, and walks
through cruel existence in grim
silence.

Now in these general philoso
phies, there are, of course, vast
individual differences.

The most common type of bread
seeker observed is the one who
barges in beligerently with long
strides and who has the ''I'm
comin' in to get somethin' to eat
. . .just try'n stop me" look on
her face. Generally, this type is
a portly specimen of womanhood.

Then there's the "Oh dear, how
do I look 'cause everybody's look
in' at me" attitude. This attitude
carries a shy eye, an anaemic
body and a spindly leg.

Occasionally, Agnes Scott pro-
duces a sophisticate who slinks
in to meals to the tune of "Here
Comes The Bride."

The most exasperating attitude
is that maintained by curious
students who find it inconvenient
to wait until they arrive at the
kitchen to discover the day's
menu. With a "What'cha eatin' "
look they delve into the mysteries
of a nearby plate. Without ex-
ception this species has a pene-
trating eye, a lengthy nose and a
smacking chop.

The faculty always carries a
superior attitude. They have the
"We have the knowledge, just
try and get it from us" attitude.
Somebody told me that.

Further note on faculty: Miss
Gertrude E. Natusch, economics
department, has been seen at
night dragging a dead tree behind
her. She has not been reached for
confirmation.

It is my opinion, finally, that
psychologists have overlooked the
entire realm of scientific investi-
gation on attitudes. Which all
goes to prove my point that
science is all very fine, but it's
better just to be normal.

Off the
Copy Hook

Robby Robinson was having
trouble translating her Spanish in
class the other day, and finally,
giving up in despair, she said, "Miss
Barineau, I just can't read my
writing!"

One of our more dignified sophs
has recently acquired the nickname
of Droopy Drawers. This was af-
fectionately bestowed on her by
her loving ( ? ) pals when she ap-
peared on the hockey field in a
gym suit which was a trifle, to
put it mildly, too large.

And speaking of the hockey
game, a certain frosh was seen
hunting for a longer hockey stick.
Teased about being so particular,
she answered, "Oh, all us artists
are tempermental." And then
she blushed, for sitting right in
front of her sat none other than
Mr. Forman.

Bible classes have the most
astounding talent for producing
the whimsical. (And where would
Copy Hook be with out these inci-
dents ? )

Monday morning Dr. Gillespie
came into his Bible 201 class and
found it in a somewhat confused
state. He sat down on his desk and
for the next few minutes, watched
Mim Steele run to and from Easy
Beale's desk, each time carrying
on an animated conversation with
her. After about five minutes of
this the class calmed down. In the
absolute quiet that followed Dr.
Gillespie turned to Easy and po-
litely queried, "Is she planning to
be married?"

After returning 301 tests, Mr.
Garber chuckled lengthily and
said, "I've received many strange
quiz answers, but one this time
really amused me. Pithom (ed.
note: an Egyptian town) was
identified as the sergent in the
garden of Eden. That's one for
my diary, don't you think!"

By Nellie Scott

Chairman World Service Council

Perhaps you didn't realize it,
but you are the "Chere Marraine"
of an appreciative Austrian boy,
Erick Reitmann. Like many cele-
brities such as Bob Hope, Fred
Allen, and Eleanor Roosevelt, you
are a god-parent. So you'd better
read this and learn something
about your "child".

Last year the sister classes de-
cided to undertake the support of
Erick, one of the many children
who are victims of the Nazi ag-
gression. This year, in further co-
operation with the Foster Parents*
Plan, the World Service Council
plans to include this 13 year old
boy in its budget.
Has Tragic Past

But Erick is more than an $180
item in the budget, he's almost a
child prodigy. In his last letter,
posted on the bulletin board in
the mail room, he says his grade
on his "compositions" exams plac-
ed him at the head of his class.
His history, like many others, is a
stark tragedy, for in 1939 he was
separated from his parents and
brought to Belgium. He wrote,
"Alas, shall } ever see my parents
again?" Life was cruelly perplex-
ing for Erick then, but now he af-
firms, "Now I am beginning to
understand certain bad things
about life, also I have learned
that beside Evil stands Goodness
which honorable people serve."
Appreciates Gifts, Letters

Gratitude is written into every
line of our friend's neatly com-
posed letters, which often smack
of instruction from a zealous adult.
He even thanks us in advance for
gifts we send him. He and his
school-mates in France show the
stern imprint of war on Europe's,
children. Even in their play they
form armies of resistance. Pros-
pects for the future became bright-
er with the visits of "des grands
soldats" Eisenhower and Mont-
gomery. When the final peace is
refound, as he expresses it, Erick
hopes to become an architect like ,
his father.

Splinters From The Swapping Post

At Furman, over in Greenville,
the students are celebrating the
arrival of the first shipment of
rat caps since 1942. The old stu-
dents, that is. Pre-war freshmen
got caps for 75 cents, but now it
takes a dollar per inflation spiral,
says the business manager.

Ominous paragraph in the Wake

The Syracuse Daily Orange has
an idea called "Columbus in
Class". "When we were kids we

used to think Columbus was great.
Because he discovered America
we didn't have school on Oct. 12.

"We still think Columbus was

erica, we have school today."

Over at Emory, a columnist set
back a couple of notches the drive
to get everyone to speak to every-
one he passes. "Why it is positively
childish to speak to every person
who happens along. He might be
your roommate." Omigosh, what
a narrow escape.

committee's proposal for the first
half of the year.

Sister Davis, student treasurer
and chairman of the committee,

(Ed. note: To prepare the col-
lege in some measure for Friday,
we asked a member of the class
of '45 to reminisce about the last
Little Girls' Day.)

We were an uninhibited bunch
that day! It was the day before we
were officially invested with se-
nior status and the prerogatives
thereof.

Our class was co-ed that Friday
in '44. There were about a half
dozen tough 'n' rough rowdy boys,
to pull the organdy sashes and be-
ribboned pigtails of the pretty lit-
tle girls.

Bust Out All Over

It was Little Girls' Day at Ag-
nes Scott. Instead of chapel, se-
rene and dignified, there was Lon-
don Bridge on the quadrangle
London Bridges and tugs o' war
and baseball. There were even a
couple of fights. There was quite a
wrestling bout in the lobby of Re-
bekah . . . fisticuffs over a triangle
that involved a pretty little pina-
fore.

It was the only morning all our
class was up and awake at break-
fast time. The fact is we were up
and singing "Shoo, Fly" long be-
fore the other students wanted to
hear anybody sing anything. We
were gaily natural, completely un-
burdened with senior mores, from

Miss Hunter Illuminates
Mortar Board Standards

Miss Charlotte Hunter, ad-
dressing the college at the annual
Mortar Board recognition service
Saturday, stressed the theme of
this year's group in unifying the
ideals of high intellectual attain-
ment and of gracious living.

"The desire of Mortar Board is
to reach all phases of campus life
and campus needs regardless of
the prominence of the task," said
Miss Hunter. "The members'
jobs may vary from the highest
phases of leadership to the 'rolled-
up-sleeves' jobs behind the scenes
at a reception."

She closed by quoting from
Mortar Board's traditional poem,
"Tis the torch that the people
follow, whoever the bearer my
be."

No Stockings

Seated Meals Back Nov. 4;
Class Votes Informal Dress

A step toward post-war gracious
living will be seated meals for din-
ner at night beginning Nov. 4. A
waiter shortage will prevent simi-
lar week-end meals.

Dinner will begin each night at
6:30. Boarders may have guests
only when absences occur at their
tables, since the dining rooms hold
352 seats for 355 boarders.

Urging a return to gracious liv-
ing. Miss Scandrett advocated
dressing for the meal each night,
at a senior meeting. The class vot-

ed to change clothes and freshen
only, the matter to be finally de-
termined by each table. Formal
dress will be for special occasions,
such as lectures.

Glassell Beale is in charge of
the social standards seating com-
mittee, assisted by Steve Page and
Zollie Saxon. Two seniors will pre-
side at each table and will be re-
sponsible for the atmosphere of
the group, Miss Scandrett pointed
out.

Faculty Pledge
$1,316 in Drive

Last week's all-out Community
Chest drive in the Atlanta area
neted pledges amounting to $1,-
316 from Agnes Scott faculity
members and officers, Miss Carrie
Scandret , faculty chairman of
World Service Council, announced.

Students will have a chance to
give through World Service Coun-
cil.

Agnes Scott's total contribu-
tion to Chest-sponsored charities
will include, in addition to the
faculty-officer pledge), whatever
amount the student body votes to
set aside for the purpose from
World Service Council's budget.

Last year, Miss' Scandretv said,
the student and faculty contri-
butions combined amounted to
$1,745.

Cooperating with Miss Scand-
rett in the drive on carripus last
week were the other faculty and
administration representatives on
the council: Miss Margaret Phy-
thian, Miss Mildred Mell, Miss
Laura Steele, and S. C. Christian.

The 121 members of the senior class will receive the sym-
bols of seniority Saturday at 11:30 a. m. in Presser Hall at

As a new feature this year, seniors will sing their class
song as the academic procession moves from the colonnade
to Presser.

Henry A. Robinson, a class

ulty, will address the class, mem-
bers of the college community,

Beauty Advice
By Cosmetician
Set for Oct. 31

Elizabeth MacDonald Osborne,
Dorothy Gray cosmetics beauty
expert and lecturer, will be on the
campus Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, to
give advice on beauty and good
grooming.

Miss Osborne will speak Thurs-
day in chapel, from 12 to 1 p. m.
in MacLean, and from 3 till 4:30
p. m. in the old "Y7 room in Main.
Her Friday schedule includes a
chapel talk, a 12 to 1 p. m.. talk
in MacLean and a 3 to 4 p. m.
discussion in MacLean.

Miss Osborne has made previous
visits to Agnes Scott and more
than ninety other colleges and
universities over the country.

The object of her lectures is to
show the importance of turning
these qualities into assets rather
than liabilities. She believes "A
girl's success in domestic, as well
as business life, is dependent on
the impression she leaves behind
her; that strangers gain this im-
pression from such characteristics
as posture, voice, expression, phil-
osophy of life, social amenities,,
clothes and grooming.

M. McManus, J. Wren To Star
In "Lady Windemeres Fan

Margaret McManus, Jenny Wren and Tom Downing will
star in Blackfriar's fall production, "Lady Windemere's Fan,"
by Oscar Wilde. *

the feminine cast has been chosen but that casting must

still be termed tentative. As yet

Art Exhibit Reveals Skill,
Originality of Instructors

By Mary Price

An interesting collection of
paintings by H. C. Forman
and Miss Priscilla Lobeck of the
Art Department is on exhibit in
Buttrick Hall until Nov. 1. Mr.
Forman's paintings are water col-
or landscapes of Ontario, Quebec,
Maine, and Massachusetts, while
Miss Lobeck's are paintings in oil.

Perhaps the most striking scene
in Mr. Forman's collection is the
"Street of Leaning Houses." Mr.
Forman insists that he has "proof-
positive" photographs to show
that he did not take artistic lic-
ense in painting this scene. An-
other interesting painting is call-
ed "Maine Sea Captain," a picture
of a typical "salt" sitting out in
front of his old grey cottage.

A third painting of intriguing
material is the "House of Victor-
ian Mystery," which shows an old
gabled yellow house, boarded up
and sagging. Mr. Forman explain-
ed, "The original color of the
house was pea-green, but I
thought the change to yellow
would be better."

In contrast to Mr. Forman's
water colors are Miss Lobeck's
oils. The observer is struck by
the variety of style and subject-
matter in these paintings. "Mir-
ror Madness," a picture of a mass
of brightly-colored flowers against
a deep red background is an ex-
ample of the impasto method in
which the artist uses a pallette
knife to give a rich, thick effect.
Two paintings of the same sub-
ject in very different styles are
most interesting. The first of
"Menemsha Bay" at Martha's
Vineyard is in the representative
style, a charming harbor scene
with attention to minute detail.
The other painting has a some-
what "modern" touch with the de-
sign important and the various

'Fifth Ideal 1

Laura Winchester, speaking
Thursday for Student Government
Executive Committee, announced
a democratic ideal of service as
Exec's theme for the year.

The committee will stress the
proposed "Fifth Ideal" as stated
in the handbook, "The dmeocratic
ideal of student life on the campus
is a good foundation for a sane
attitude toward other people,"
From the sentence, she explained,
Exec's slogan, "Dig for a Satop,"
was taken.

objects simplified. There is mark-
ed contrast between the two
paintings. Showing ability in
semi-impressionistic style, Miss
Lobeck has on exhibit "July in
February," her impression of Mi-
ami while she was in New York
on a raw, rainy day. The red sun
in a yellowish sky gives a defin-
ite feel of warmth to the picture.

gia from their Annual Student
Art Exhibit. The show will be

Play By Play

By Edna Claire Cunningham
QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Have you see Mrs. Dunn play hockey? How about those drives
and the times when she stands at the goal yelling,, "hit me; hit:"

Charlsie Smith took her up on it too. After a week of coaching
by Mrs. Dunn the whole tempo of the hockey classes, seem to have
speeded up. We spent the first few days dodging her drives and
after that we began to catch on to how she did it. That northern ac-
cent carried with it speed that is a little bewildering to Southerners.

We feel sorry for the freshman who was trying out for swim-
ming club. . She had done twenty-four of the required thirty-six
lengths when some one informed her that she had visitors from
home. She leaped out of the pool to go and see them. Oh well,
tomorrow is another day and she can begin again.

PASS THE HAMBURGER PLEASE

Outing club really had a picnic with food. Through a mix-up
Virginia Tucker bought the hamburgers and Dot Morrison bought a
duplicate order. The extra meat was easily taken care of only
where's the money coming from to pay for it? Guess every one
will have to eat a double order of apples at the hocky game next
week.

The jaunt was at Harrison Hut. When the crowd gathered and
dusk began to fall the lights wouldn't come on. Doc Dunn made
a hurried trip to the Dean's office and, after pulling all the switches
on the campus, found all she needed was a flick of the switch on
the back porch.

From all reports faculty family night at the gym is quite a
success this year. Swimming is the most popular sport and some
of the faculty who have never learned to swim are making rapid
advances.

THEY CANT NAME IT

A. A. for many a moon has been trying to find a new name ro.
the pre-season planning meeting that most organizations call Re-
treat. Each board member was asked to turn in a suggestion. The
outcome hasn't been decided but one of the wittier members sug-
gested the A. A. Advance pun, what?

There have been some changes made in our old tennis club. A
new name has been chosen and from now on it's the Racquet
(Racket?) Club. Members hit the criminal columns this week
as a sly observer nicknamed them the "racqueteers."

lollipops and apples ... A few sis-

apples to you know whom. Classes
were orderly but different that
day. Spitballs were outlawed, but
when the bell rang we were again
free to express our young selves.

Investiture was impressive. We
were favorably impressed with
our dignity, pomp, and lofty
standing that Saturday.

Investiture was fine, but that
day of days that preceded it was
even better . . . (We were glad we
really weren't having our very last

three years in a stack cubicle can't

Thirty Hikers Attend
Outing Club Picnic

More than thirty members of
the Outing Club had a lively time
at a supper hike at Harrison Hut
Thursday. The hike was given by
the new members for all the old-
timers.

Hamburgers were the main at-
traction of the evening. Songs
and other non-strenuous enter-
tainment followed the supper.
Eleanor Bear was chairman of
the committee for planning the
party. Misses Anne Register and
Vicky Alexander were chaperones.

Let's Wash Our Faces

Recently the administration suggested that the student
body dress each night for dinner. Instead of announcing
on the bulletin board that we would dress, the problem of
restoring this form of gracious living to Agnes Scott was
presented the seniors for consideration. They were allowed
to differ with the administration's point of view ,and with
this action they assumed responsibility for all Agnes Scott
boarders.

Most of us agree that we would like a more pleasant meal-
time atmosphere. We have said that we do not think dres^
sing is essential to such gracious living. It is now up to us
to make mealtime pleasant in the manner which we chose
to do it.

No one likes eating with the hockey-field-to dinner or
the library hag who never has time for fresh lipstick. We
make our meals something special we can try to talk to
each other as we do to those Saturday night dates we can
try graciousness. The administration has left it up to us.
Let's wash our faces and prove our point.

Help Your Shelf

There have been some complaints about the slight reduct-
ion in the time the library stays open, and a few gripes about
service in the reserve room.

Granted that shorter hours may be an inconvenience to
some; but, as usual, there is the other side and the facts to
back it up.

The library is operating this year on the smallest staff
it has ever had. Last year, there were five trained librar-
ians on the staff; this year, three.

Until the past two years, weekly student aid assistants
hours average 225; last year they were less; this year they
have hit an all-time low of about 50.

Upon request of the library staff, four members of Lower
House Jane Cooke, Mary Hays, Doris Sullivan, and Robin
Robinson are doing volunteer work.

With these facts in mind, we can all help ease the situa-
tion by being doubly careful to cooperate with regulations;
by signing for reserve books to facilitate reshelving; by
leaving reserve books near their shelves; by waiting patient-
ly for a staff member at 5 and 9 to check out books.

The librarians will appreciate your help.

What Do You Think?

Room Inspection Slip Up
Throws Dorm In A Storm

(Ed. note: Mrs. Smith came;
she saw; she conquered. We were
crushed.

We had had a story. However
since antiques have charm, why
worry about obsolescence. Time
marches on, but art remains. Be-
sides, this has social significance.)

Not since we moved into the
dorm this fall has anybody come
around to inspect our rooms.
Now wo don't really mind being
overlooked. If that's the way
they feel about it, okay we do
miss those friendly little chats,
though.

But it's the serious sociological
implications of the absent room
inspection slip that worries us.

In the first place, what will
they put on our permanent
record ?

W ithout room inspection, it's no
fun putting your boxes on top of
your closets, and hollowing out
a speaking tube through the wall
to the next room. Nobody even
cares. We could hang portraits
all around the walls on safety

pins and not get our name in the
paper.

Without the spice the possi-
bility of a room check used to
give to life, you might as well go
on and make your bed.

And we don't find those pungent
little notes anymore, either. May-
be it's the paper shortage that's
causing the trouble, but those
notes sure were useful to hang
over the places where nails had
chipped chasms in the plaster.

And without notes, how are the
uninitiated supposed to know
what those sticks with the page-
boy bobs are for? When it gets
to the point that people put them
across two chairs to hang stock
ings on it's time for some sweeping
reforms.

It's not because our rooms are
messy that we want room inspec-
tion back again. It's just that life
is 100 darn dull around the dorm
lately. But maybe it better wait
till we hang the curtains.

resolutions (1) requesting state
legislators south of the Mason-
Dixon line to look into the edu-
cational set-up of state institu-
tions, and especially to consider
larger appropriations and higher
salaries for teachers; and (2) re-
questing General Bradley of the

Poll Favors 3 -Day
Thanksgiving Break

Do we or don't we want a
Thursday - through - Sunday
Thanksgiving holiday if it meant
making up the extra two days
some other time?

Not trying to force anyone's
hand or incite a revolution, the
News has attempted by the poll
method to penetrate the vast un-
known of student opinion, on a
subject making headlines in many
colleges and universities lately.

Of the 30 persons asked, 22 are
for an extension of the holiday
while 8 are again' it but the an-
swers had more reservations than
the Southern ticket office.

Here are some of the answers
The News' polling experts got
when they asked, "Do you think
we should have a Thanksgiving
holiday through Sunday, and
make up the days at some other
time during the year?

Glassell Beale, Senior: "By all
means, but I would say no if I
thought they would take the days
off Chrismas.

Julianne Cook: Sophomore: I
definitely do, but I sure do want
a free day before exams."

Nancy Wilkinson, Freshman :
"Un huh, then I could go home."

Van Orr, Junior: "As far as get-
ting away from school goes it
would be lovely. But if it would
take off Christmas I'd rather not
have Thanksgiving."

Mary Aichel, Sophomore: "I
certainly do. I think it would be
better to cut it off Christmas than
not to have the week-end."

Polly Miles, Sophmore: " I
would prefer to go to classes Fri-
day and Saturday because our
nerves are strained to a tighter
tension in the spring and we would
enjoy the days at home more
then."

Tina Hewson, Junior: "It would
be lovely. How about having
classes on Friday and Saturday
but with the privilege of cutting?

Mac Compton, Junior: "I'd rat-
her not have the holidays if they'd
be taken off Christmas or spring.
Lots of people couldn't go home."

Pagie Violette, Junior: "No; un-
less we come early in the fall. I
like the free day before exams.

Marian Yancey, Junior: "I favor
it, making up the time in Septem-
ber. Fall quarter is too long
without a break, especially for
freshmen."

Tissie Rutland, Junior: "Nat-
urally! I'd rather come to school
early."

Virginia McKenzie, Senior:
"Yes! It would be a nice break in
the quarter. We could make it
up at the end because the last
quarter is shorter."

premissible." .That's one thing
Agnes Scott seniors didn't have

to worry about.

nouncement in a Yankee paper

Student Government brings out
latent qualities in many students.
This was most dramatically dem-
onstrated Saturday evening when
a pie-eating contest was held at
the SG party.

Each contestant was given a
quarter of an apple pie. This was
a speed contest, not an endurance
contest. Now there is a differ-
ence between the two. The en-
durance contest depends on stom-
ach space while the speed contest
depends on mouth space and a
well-oiled swallowing system. Stu-
dent government, realizing, no
doubt, that only a few had quali-
fications for an endurance con-
test decided, after long delibera-
tion, on a speed contest.

The action was short and heat-
ed. Peggy Pat Home remarked
that the first two hunks of pie
slid down without difficulty, but
the third and fourth insisted on
being chewed. That is why Miss
Korne lost. You can't chew and
win.

Nellie Scott says all her pie was
gone and she thought she won till
she realized she hadn't yet swal-
lowed any of it.

The winner, Nancy Wilkinson,
remains silent concerning her
method. I have consulted her
friends, however, and they seem
to think that Miss Wilkinson's
system consists of a combination
of initiative and heredity. Miss
Wilkinson will be remembered as
the blue jeaned freshman in the
stunt who ate and left in silence.
Comment of the week:
May Turner: I think I'll have

to cut my agriculture class

Mary Hanson Partridge: What's
wrong, did you forget to do your
outside weeding?
Stack Story:

Angela Pardington: Oh joy! birds
in the trees! Ahhhhhh life. I shall
now study my Greek. I cannot
wait. Where it beckons me, I will
follow. Hail to thee blithe spirit.
Here I come. I shall go to my lit-
tle den and bury myself in Greek
and fly to the far-away realms.

(She suddenly stops and stares.
For there in her stack which says
"this stack is reserved for Angela
Pardington who is studying Greek
sits a sophmore.)

Angela: Pardon me, but all my

books are here, so do you mind
moving?

Sophomore: Yes, I do. I have to
study my chemistry.
Angela: Oh. Oh, misery! Unhappy
day!! Oh, agony. I shall have to
go get a coke now.

(She lopes out of the library
while the sophomore sits fas: in
the den called "This stack is re-
served for Angela Pardington who
is studying Greek.)
Current question: If, instead of
taking the senior pictures in caps
and gowns, they are taken in
drapes, why can't the seniors
drape down the aisle?

Grads Plan
Job Guide
Program

An active vocational guidance
program for students in all four
classes, coordinating the various
individual guidance programs on
campus, was written into this
year's docket with an announce-
ment of plans Oct. 31 to Repre-
sentative council. Initiator and
sponsor of the idea is the Alumnae
association, headed by Mrs. Wal-
ter Paschal of Atlanta.

Miss Mary Jane King, associa-
tion secretary, discussed the plan
with council at its meeting Thurs-
day, Nov. 31.

The association is at work gath-
ering material for a file showing
each alumna's occupation, or her
husband's occupation, Miss King
said. Through this file, the asso-
ciation will put students in touch
with some former Agnes Scott girl
who has been successful in the
field the student has chosen.

Under the arrangement in for-
mer years, various phases of voca-
tional help for students has teen
handled by the registrar's office,
the dean's office, and Mortar
Board.

Chapel speakers will be part of
the project, Miss King said. Coun-

Carl Sandburg To Speak Tonight

Fees Hit $1,000
With '47 Hike

Rising operating costs will mean
a new hike in the college board
and tutition fees next year, bring-
ing the year's total to $400 for
day students and $1,000 for board-
ers.

The increases are $50 and $100
respectively over this year's bills.

President J. R. McCain, in let-
ters mailed last week to parents
of next year's student body, ex-
plained the new charges.

"Under present conditions Ag-
nes Scott is finding it impracti-
cable to balance its budget and
to keep up an educational pro-
gram of real quality. We ran a
deficit last year for th^first time
since I have been president, and
all the indications are that we
will have another this year. Un-
der the circumstances, we have
found it necessary to increase our
charges for the session beginning
in September, 1947.

"We regret the necessity of
making any change, but even the
increased rates will be lower than
those of most other colleges for
women which have facilities equal
to our own."

Dr. McCain is expected to dis-
cuss the change with students in
chapel in the near future.

Alexander Stresses Attitude
At Worship Service Sunday

Speaking to an audience which
filled Presser hall at the worship
service Investiture Sunday, Dr.
John M. Alexander, D. D. de-
clared that "there is no commun-
ity problem that is not at its
basis a personal problem."

"As I think of the implications
of the atomic age for the church
today, I am driven back to a
more fundamental question, that
which has to do with the hearts
of men," he said, urging a new
attitude in each of his hearers as
a prerequisite to a new world at-
titude.

"Education, desirable as it is,
is futile without that accompany-
ing change of the human heart
which makes us use the know-
ledge in the right direction", he
declared.

President J. R. McCain offered
the invocation at the traditional
family worship service, while
Dean S. G. Stukes lead the con-
gregation in prayer.

Under the direction of Mrs.
Rebecca Clarke, choirmaster, a
chorus of 16 sang the anthem,
"Gloria", from Mozart's Twelfth
Mass. Adele Dieckmann, as organ-
ist, played before and after the
service. /

For the offertory she played
"Berceuse," composed by her fat-
her, C. W. Dieckmann, head of
the music department. A hymn
of Mr. Dieckmann's "God of the
Marching Centuries," also formed
part of the service by vote of the
senior class.

Triors To Present
'Pesos' At Lawson

Blackfriars' workshop produc-
tion of "Sunday Costs Five Pesos"
by Josephina Niggli will be pre-
sented at Lawson General hospi-
tal Monday, Nov. 11. -Arrange
ments for production of the play
were made by World Service coun-
cil in connection with the Red
Cross. Transportation for the cast
and production crew will be pro-
vided by the Red Cross.

"Sunday Costs Five Pesos" was
presented at Agnes Scott Oct. 28.
Members of the cast are Reese
Newton, Barbara Macris, Polly
Miles, Helen Currie and Valeria
von Lehe.

Special chorus will be guests at
the hospital Nov. 18, according to
Nellie Scott, World Service coun-
cil president.

No Help For The Meals

Zero hour difficulties in se-
curing a complete servant staff
delayed indefinitely the begin-
ning of seated meals this week.

An announcement Monday
postponed the first seated meal
and the opening of the new din-
ing room, retaining the war-
time cafeteria schedule until
further notice.

Banjo Playing, Ballard Singing Will
Open College Lecture Season

Carl Sandburg, described as "one of the most original
forces in America," will entertain the college community
tonight at 8:30 in Gaines auditorium with his "inimitable
banjo playing and ballad singing."

Sandburg, as the guest of the English department, opens
the college lecture season. This

will be the poet's third appear-
ance at the college.

The twice Pultitzer Prize win-
ner will be the honor guest at an
informal reception in Rebekah
Scott lobby following the lecture.
He will also speak at 10:15 a. m.
in Presser tomorrow.

As a lecturer, Mr. Sandburg is
enjoyed by audiences varying in
type from the West Point Mili-
tary Academy cadets to the Ill-
inois State Normal University.
"The Bookman," New York, says
"when he talks your attention is
gripped by the same honest man-
to-man sincerity which he is able
to put into the grinding, crash-
ing, angular words of his unrhym-
ed, free rhythmed verses."

Exec Endorses
Holiday Project

Led by student opinion for a
Thursday - Sunday Thanksgiving
holiday, as revealed in last week's
Agnes Scott News poll, Exec Mon-
day night voted to rcommend the
holiday to Representative council
in a called meeting tomorrow at
6:30 p. m.

Exec members were unanimous-
ly in favor of the proposed holi-
day, and suggested no reserva-
tions as to when the two days
could be made up. The recom-
mendation to council will suggest
the holiday for next year, since it
seemed too late to work for the
ruling this month.

If council approves the recom-
mendation, the next step would be
a meeting of the Administrative
council, which includes Represent-
ative council and members of the
administration.

'Dr. Rob' Interprets
God's Mathematics

"Make your ideals your* action"
by letting "the yeast of God's
mathematics" work in your lives,
Henry A. Robinson, professor of
mathematics, advised the mem-
bers of the senior class in the In-
vestiture address Nov. 2.

Speaking only slightly longer
than five minutes on the subject,
"God's Mathematics," Mr. Robin-
son stated that " human mathe-
matics, like God's mathematics,
rejects all error," But, "although
two negatives always equal a pos-
itive in human mathematics, two
wrongs never produce a right in
God's mathematics."

Mr. Robinson mentioned the
four fundamentals of mathematics
addition, subtraction, multipli-
cation, and division as utilized in
Christan living.

Casualty List Grows as Aggie
Leaps Into Stiff Beauty Rigors

By Clarkie Rogers

DuBarry may have taken the French court of Louis XV
by storm but Agnes Scott capitulated to Dorothy Gray.

From the minute Miss Elizabeth Osborne cast her eagle
eye, kept clear and sparkling by 40 minutes exercise daily,
over the lolling figures on front row in chapel and intoned
in her cosmopolitan accent,
"you're ruining your sacro-illiac,"
there've been some changes made.

Inspired by her explanation of
how to get up with your thighs
rather than your duerrieux, a
group of juniors rose from the
table using their thigh muscles
the table rose too.

A n unidentified sophomore,
seeking that "pink-cheeked, cas-
ual look" drank six glasses of
water before one meal. Friends
wishing to know Angie Anderson's
whereabouts may inquire at the
infirmary.

Her advice to think of all the
things you have to do that day as
a sure cure for gotta-get-up blues

was carefully followed by several
seniors. Unfortunately the cure
backfired and they each had tc,
cut six classes to recuperate.

Then there was the freshman
who fixed her hair "dead wrong,"
according to Miss Osborne. She
was pulled forth as a guinea
pig to show the wonders of a lit-
tle curl ruffling. But she got so
excited trying to see what Miss
Osborne was doing that her
eyes crossed.

But even if the casualty list
was long and your friends faiked
to be struck dumb by the reno-
vation, don't give up hope. Miss
Osborne had to admit that beauty
is only skin deep anyhow!

Social-Lites

By Mary Brown Mahon

For those who have been waiting for almost four long
years to receive official senior standing, hopes and dreams
came true Saturday morning. Friday marked the last day
of youth and childhood (or supposedly), and was climaxed by
the award of prizes to Betty Allen and Alice Beardsley for
the best portrayal of the little
girl and a little boy. Parents came
from far and wide to watch the

capping exercises Saturday morn-
ing which were marked by sim-
plicity and dignity. Even though
the day had been looked forward
to for so long, a few sobs were
heard among the seniors and most
of them walked from Presser with
solemn expressions.

Coffee Time
Sunday's after dinner coffee,
given in honor of the seniors and
their parents, offered an opportun-
ity for introductions and warm
conversation. The hostesses were
Mrs. A. M. Adams and Marie,
Mrs. A. R. Craig and Mac, Mrs. H.
F. Dickson and Ginny, Mrs. G. S.
Radford and B. J., and Mrs. C. B.
Squires and Carolyn.

Big Doin's
Nobody was too solemn, how-
ever, to have a big week-end. Ag-
nes Scott was well represented
at the Emory ATO hayride by
Charlien Simms, Ninia Owens,
Betty Andrews, Jean Estes, Pat
McManmon, Peggy Pittard, Dot
Quillan, Nancy Deal, Pagie Vio-
lette, Teetoe Williams, Diana Dur-
den, Martha Cunningham, and
Mary Louise Horlick.

Mary Beth Little, Mary Manly,
and Charlsie Smith enjoyed dan-
cing at the Rainbow Roof, while
Mary Frances Anderson, Louisa
Aichel, Marie Adams, Anne Eid-
son, Glassell Beale, and Kate El-
lis did the same at the Empire
Room. Then seen at the Mirador
Room of the Capitol City Club
were Ninia Owens, Beth Walton,
Anne Eidson, and Margaret Mc-
Manus.

Betty Gesner reported a fine
time at the Delta Tau Delta house
dance at Tech Friday night, and
at the Chi Phi house dance at
Tech Friday night were Sue Hut-
chens and Ellen Morrison.
Ga. Dood It Again!

The University of Ga. was right
in there, as usual, when they beat
Alabama Saturda'y. Sally Bus-
sey, Lanie Harris, Sue Hutchens,
Mary Mohr, Pattie Hampton, Ann
Mason, Janet Sowell, Charlien

Pinafores and Pigtails Spice Kids' Day

Simms, Nellie Scott, Virginia Gor-
don, Robby Robeson, Ann Bal-
Lard, and Hanson Partridge all
took off and went over to cheer
for the Bulldogs. What have I
said! I forgot about the Alabama
gals in this list. Excuse me and
I hear it was a good game, al-
though very damp.

Then some of the girls chose the
Tech-Duke game, for instance
Gladys Merck, Dot Stewart, Anne
Henderson and Marguerite Jack-
son.

Out Of Town-ers

Cissy Jeffries and Dale Bennett
spent the week-end at Davidson.
Dale sponsored at the dance Sat-
urday night for Cissy's brother.
Ann Williams went with the Beta
president and was in the figure.

There were still lots who found
time to spend at least part of the
week-end away, in spite of In-
vestiture. Betty Andrews went
to Flat Rock, N. C; Dot Peace to
Greenville, S. C.,; Anne Wheeler
to Gainesville; Rebecca Lever to
Winder; Carroll Taylor to Fair-
burn; Olive Wilkinson to Newnan;
Helen Christian to Elberton;
Steele Dendy and Ann Carol
Blanton to Steele's home town,
Pelzer, S. C; Julie Blake to Tal-
ahasse, Fla.; and Ivy Morris and
Frankie Francisco to Columbus;
and Jean Edwards, Anne Ashley,
Helen Austin, Anne Windham to
Opelika, and Evelyn Leavell to
New Berry, S. C.

A. S. C. Visitors

It was good to see "Chip" Hill-
back on campus this week-end
to be invested. She was visiting
Pris Hatch. Patty Phillips' sis-
ter from Converse was here, Ann
Griggs had a visitor, and Sue Hut-
chens had two visitors from
Huntsville, Ala.

Another Engagement

Charlotte Clarkson's engage-
ment was announced Sunday to
Paul Jones, of Atlanta. Numerous
friends assembled Saturday night
at her announcement party. They
plan to be married during the
Christmas holidays.

That sums it up for last week-
end see you next week!

2 or Carl Sandburg's lecture Nov.
6 will vaguely be remembered by
posterity, but here is the as-
tounding fact: on Nov. 1, 1946, the
erudite, sleepy senior class leap-
ed out of bed at 6:30 a. m.

No the millenium had not come,
but Little Girl's Day had, and
these punditic pupils, clad in pin-
afores, droopy pantaloons (pa-
jamas with elastic in the legs),
and blue jeans, dispensed with all
conventions and inhibitions.

No doubt Father Time was con-
fused as these grown young ladies
reverted to the era of London
Bridge and Hopscotch. However,
Farmer in the Dell changed to
Mr. Garber's on the quadrangle.

Taking seriously the good
book's exhortation that " ye be-
come as a little child," the digni-
fied class dashed from dorm to
dorm, awaking the raging inmates
and refusing to drink their milk
for breakfast. As always the boys
little ones, that is were the
cynosure of all eyes. Much affect-
ion was lavished on the "blue-
jean brigade." Would the psychol-
ogist call this substitution or sub-
limation?

The "toughies", Frances Sholes
and Bet Patterson had the mark-
ings of blooming juvenile delin-
quents. Virginia Barksdale's
chief delight was dangling a slim-
my earthworm before the discrim-
inating noses of the shrieking pin-
afore platoon.

Alice Beardsley's interpretatoin
of little Lord Fauntleroy, with

the run in his black nylons, won
the prize for the most original
boy. Betty Allen vaguely resem-
bled Lena the Hyena, but her
unique version of "countryfied"
Gertrude with the freckled snoot
received commendation (or con-
demnation) from the judges. Miss
Christie's only remark was, "Any-
one who can dress up that ugly
ought to win a prize."

Little girls had to be big ones
in the class rooms, for education
must go on. However, lollipops
still prevailed over the national
land system and pigtails received
more attention than the Parame-
cium. Although order was of /the
voluntary kind, we hope that the
apple we presented to our child
pysch teacher wasn't the one
with the worm in it.

Play By Play

November weather with that tang in the air makes riding one of
the gym department's most popular sports, and A. S. C. riders are
coming right along with the organization of the campus' first riding
club.

Aside from expert riders, however, we now have between 40 and
45 girls taking riding instructions with an average of three classes
a day. It's a big handful for Mrs. Harriette Lapp, riding instructor,
who handles everything from beginners to advanced horsewomen.

INTRODUCING MR. PACE

It's a big handful too for Mr. Silas Pace, of Hendersonville, N. C.
who handles our eight horses. This is Mr. Pace's second stay at
Agnes Scott. He was here last spring, fresh from time spent with a
U. S. Army calvery unit. Riding for Mr. Pace is an old business He
was surveying the world from horseback at age five and he's been
crazy about it ever since. A quiet man with a nice smile and a
North Carolina clip to his voice, he finds Agnes Scott riders greatly
improved since he first saw them last spring.

Mr. Pace has been responsible for our eight horses since he brought
them down from Camp Mondammin, near Tuxedo, N. C. this fall.
He will take them on for a stay at G. S. C. W. in Milledgeville this
winter and. will be back here for spring riding. Next summer he'll
be back at camp helping to care for approximately sixty horses. Right
now he's watching from the sidelines as horses and riders prepare
for the fall horseshow Nov. 23.

OUTING CLUB STEPS OUT

Outing club too is taking advantage of nice fall weather to plan
an overnight hike at North Fulton Nov. 16. It will be the first such
venture since spring of 1944. Approximately 35 members are expected
to attend.

Seniors have an excuse for their hocky defeat Friday at "little
sisters" hands. They were too busy practicing Ring Around the
Roys for Littlef Girls Day to fool around with silly old things like
hockey sticks. If the sophs want to join them in a good old fashioned
game of hop-scotch things may be different.

Hockey games this week were refereed by Miss Alice Shiver a for-
mer lieutenant commander in the WAVES. Miss Shiver is in Atlanta
temporarily on terminal leave. At one time physical education direct-
or at Washington university in St. Louis, and chairman for the Nat-
ional Section on Women's Athletics, she is now editor for the sec-
tions new magazine, "Sports Bulletin."

JANE SHARKEY HITS SEMI-FINALS

Jane Sharkey is keeping Agnes Scott's name alive in golf circles.
A semi-finalist in the championship division of East Lake Country
Club's tourney, she is scheduled to play Mrs. W. D. Tumlin, of At-
lanta, in the finals this week. Good luck, Jane.

Sophs Win Again;
Frosh Default Game

Seniors Bow in 2-3 Defeat
To Leave Unbeaten Ranks

In Friday's hockey games the seniors lost to the sopho-
mores 2-3 and the freshman forfeited to the juniors for lack
of players.

The seniors-sophomore game was the season's fastest and
most closely matched one. The sister classes battled for the

victory and battle it was, literally,
for several players were hit.
Fraser Scores Twice

Radford and Fraser began the
game with a center bully and the
seniors gained the puck. The
whole field was played and both
teams made long runs. Harns-
berger was passing to the senior
forward line and Radford made
the first half. Fraser made the
two for the sophs and the first
period ended 2-1 for the sophs.

In the second half Fraser shot
a long pass to Newton who then
drove for the prettiest goal of the
game. Newton played a fast, de-
fensive game. The seniors recover-
ed and Goode, playing center, sent
che puck to half-back New who
tallied for the seniors. The game
ended with a 3-2 victory for a
fast and powerful soph team.
Frosh Default

The freshman defaulted to the
juniors for lack of players, but
a game was played with a few
substitutes from the other teams
filling in for the freshmen.

The juniors won by a 4-0 score.

Community Chest
Work Explained

"Everybody gives; everybody
benefits," Dr. Herman Turner,
pastor of the Covenant Presbyte-
rian church, stressed in his chapel
talk on the Community Chest
drive.

Dr. Turner, whose talk was
sponsored by the World Service
Council, spoke of the Community
Chest budget for the year, the
agencies receiving funds from the
Chest and reasons why we should
give.

He explained that many organ-
izations like the U.S.O. and the
Agleston Memorial hospital re-
ceive no appropriations from the
government and are dependent
upon the community for funds.

World Service Council will des-
ignate part of its pledge money
this year to the Community Chest.

During the first half the freshmen
got to the scoring circle only once.
They proved more a threat during
the second half but still were not
able to score. Warlick led the
freshman with fast passes and
long drives.

Goals were made for the jun-
iors by Wright, Blair, Tucker, and
Davis. Davis, playing wing, took
the puck up the alley very fast
and made nice passes to her
inner.

The beginners' game was an-
other victory for the sophs over
the juniors 3-1. Jane da Silva was
captain of the junior team and
Butch Hays of the sophs.

And just where do we indulge most frequently in our

Somehow we all seem to chose the same spot chapel. Lovely
place, isn't it? We all seem to like it, that is we chose it for
such essential things.

Needless to say, however, some people, no matter how
few their number, look at the chapel services in a different
light. They already seem to have read their mail, studied
today's lesson and noted their friends clothes. To them
chapel means other things, worship, rest, concentration on
worthwhile programs.

No need to preach about don'ts in chapel. They look pretty
obvious from here. We all forget, but why not find some
other place for it?

It's So Confusing!

Life With Daughter, Or
The Parents Were Here

Simple
Solutions

WorkshopOne-Acts
Star Estes, Newton

You never would have known
the seniors last weekend. It wasn't
the new caps so much, or even the
painful red crease like a widow's
peak that stayed over each one's
eyebrow all day Saturday.

It was the parental influence.

Daughter handed mamma and
papa in and out of taxis like some-
body from Arthur Murray's one
minute, and brought socks to be
darned the next. Nobody knew
who was most exhausted when it
was all over or even before the
weekend began. Word got around
that Rich's had sat up all Thurs-
day night hemming the new din-
ing room drapes some seniors
just looked at each other and said,
yes, they knew just how Rich's
felt. They, too, had prepared for
the weekend.

Most parents got good seats at
Investiture One mamma, trium-
phantly perched right behind the
section reserved for the seniors
and sophomores, was disillusioned
when the processional got under
way.

"[ thought I was coming to see
Marybelle get invested," she said,
"and all I get is a rear view of the
sophomores."

They were all glad to find out
what Investiture was, though.
Most of them told the crowd see-
ing them off at the home-town
station that Investiture was some-
thing at Agnes Scott that the se-
niors liked to have their families
come to.

Life was pretty bad for father
this weekend. Not that he didn't
enjoy the festivities, but he kept
disappearing for a chat with Mr.
Jones or Henry. Men just can't
take it. If all the Nazis and Japs
had been women, we'd be a beaten
nation.

All the parents were impressed
with Agnes Scott. The ones who
had never been here before were
so glad to find out what daughter
had been talking about all this
time; and besides, they had been
corresponding with some of the
administration for so long, they
were glad to find the college was
run by more than just a bunch of
signatures.

In fact, it was tough getting the
parents to leave. Our mother balk-
ed at the doorstep. She was de-
termined to sign out in the dean's
office and check up on her per-
mission.

(Ed. note: Our Galley Slave has
slipped her chains and escaped to
rehearse for a play. She'll be back
when the curtain falls; but mean-
while, other willing (?) hand?

ley.)

Each of us has gone or is go-
ing through that fearful and won-
derful process known as the
Freshman Year. Those of us who
have been through this stage find
that living among the group be-
ing processed is another fearful
and wonderful experience.

Freshmen present a refreshing
point of view to us who have be-
Oome saddened and soured by
time and age. These bright, young
things always come up with a
unique t and simple solution to
each trying difficulty.

Take, for example, the problem
of the Friday night urge to kick-
up-your-heels and be-gay, and how
it should be met by those who
have light and quiet rules.

Third floor Inman lost no time
in overcoming the problem. On
a recent Friday night the time
was ripe; Marie was away, and
the urge swept the hall. Long af-
ter the lights were out the heel-
kicking-and being-gay went on.

Finally two seniors timid
souls meekly ascended the
stairs and found a circle of girls
happily seated in the hall.

"Tomorrow is another day and
it's time you all were in bed "
began one senior.

"Oh!" volunteered a freshman,
"Friday night is the very best
time to have fun on the hall be-
cause we don't need the time for
sleep or for study. We just voted
to do away with classes on Satur-
day."

You see, the solution is as sim-
ple as that.

However, simple solutions like
that one are beginning to tell on
some of the seniors. They tend
to make one a little overly rule-
conscious. Returning to her room
late the other night, Ginny Dick-
son was most unhappy to see
a very definite patch of light
glowing from above one door.
When a few light knocks brought
no response, Ginny began to pound
with decided raps. After counting
ten once or twice, she threw open
the door with great gusto and
found the light illuminating the
back stairs.

Ginny went on home for some
much-needed sleep.

Beardsley, too. has her pro-
blems other than having an am-
ateur mess up her column.

She conducts speech conferen-
ces and etery speech student
student knows that "good breath-
ing is essential to good speech."

Recently Alice began having a
lot of trouble making her stu-
dents respond readily to the
opening line. "Breathe deeply
now." Someone had told the bud-
ding speech students that you
faint after six deep breaths, and
to them, it seemed more impor-
tant to remain conscious.

By Harriet Gregory

Blackfriars' workshop presenta-
tion of Thornton Wilder's "Long
Christmas Dinner" Oct. 29 in
Presser was an especially ambi-
tious venture for an inexperienced
cast.

Not the usual polished produc-
tion of the group, the play never-
theless accomplished the purpose
of the workshop, to help make
skilled veterans out of Blackfriar
fledglings.

The play shows the passing of
90 years represented in accelerat-
ed motion by several Christmas
dinners. Only voice and bodily-
movement were employed in the
production, instead of the conven-
tional scenery and props, present-
ing a challenging problem to any
dramatic company.

The players turned in perform-
ances stimulating to the imagina-
tion and almost consistently true i
to the play itself. Criticism by the |
audience termed Jean Estes' char- |

acterization of Cousin Ermengarde
"convincing" and "increasingly
charming in the later years of the
play."

Carolyn Gilchrist and Pat Mc-
Manmon as the first and third
Mrs. Bayard also received praise.
Joe Dayan's interpretation of
Cousin Brandon was particularly
wood, the .actor "aged before one's
eyes".

"Sunday Costs Five Pesos," a
hilarious comedy of small town
Mexican folk by Josephine Niggli
was a well chosen contrast in sub-
ject, mood and tempo to * "The
Long Christmas Dinner".

Barbara Macris, as the jealous
fiancee of Reece Newton, Val von
Lehe and Polly Miles as the not-
so-innocent bystanders, and Helen
Currie, the siren villianess, all
caught the light farcical touch de-
manded by the play.

Especial congratulations go to
Reece Newton for her portrayal of
the poor bewildered lover.

Barby Proves People And Life
In Canal Zone Not Different

By Mac Compton

Someone from the Canal Zone at Agnes Scott? Someone
who beat all the Georgia Tech Baptist boys swimming last
Saturday night? Sounded interesting.

We dashed over to Room 39 Inman and found Barbara
Lawson sitting cross-legged on her couch-bed writing letters.

She didn't look different brown
hair, brown eyes, regular clothes,
no mantilla. She didn't talk dif-
ferently no castinet-chatter, just
normal chatter. Inviegling Barby
out of the room I questioned her
roommate. The result sounded
quite natural she loves to write
letters, to dance, and she can real-
ly sew (their curtains prove that).
When Barby came back in we
continued the cross examination.
Yes, she enjoys sports, especially
swimming, and she likes to sing
dreamy songs.

Life in Cristobal, Canal, is just
about the same as life up here ex-
cept it isn't quite so hectic and
the temperature averages about 80
or 90 degrees. (A real comfortable
temperature accordin to her)
Barby has been through the Can-
al, but just once for the trip takes
a minimum of 8 hours. Barbara
said it was very similar to the
movies but so big that you couldn't
quite take it all in.

At school Barbara was a mem-
ber of Thespians, played volley
ball and basket ball and was
President of the Home Run club.
For Halloween entertainment a
gang would go down for a muddy
game of football besides the reg-
ular pranks.

The Lawsons came up to the
United States on an army trans-
port. This reminded- Barby of an-
other story. The first week of
school Barbara met a boy in Main
who'd gone down on their boat
six years ago. The end of ihe
story isn't so good he's married
now.

All of this adds up to one thing
this gal ought to be a lot of
fun to know. Perhaps if we get to
be good enough friends we'll even
meet Arabella Haile-Selassi, a
very select panda, who sits on top
of the dresser with an Agnes
Scott hat perched on her head.

Dutch Girl Writes
To A. S. Sponsors

Perhaps the name and address
or a Dutch girl, Miss M. C. Vetter,

Merelstratt, 22, Breda, Holland,
are about as familiar to you as
Greek braille. But after reading
this you'll begin to see the light.
To help foreign young people and
to become friends with them,
World Service Council is sponsor-
ing the sending of packages
abroad. Grey-eyed Maryke, of
Holland, whose waist of 28 match-
es her age, is the special friend
and charge of the council.

Other organizations are writing
letters and sending boxes to our
young neighbors abroad. French
club has become quite interested
in helping a "monsieur" and
"madamoiselle", and Bible club is
aiding another Dutch girl.

But back to Maryke, who will
soon be hearing the melodious
strains of the wedding march. For
a while she taught in a needle-
work school. Now she is at home
doing religious work and repairing
the family's vvomout clothes, "for
you don't buy new things". Her
winter coat has seen a deeade of
service. During the war she help-
ed in a canteen, "but now most of
the American soldiers are de-
mobbed".

Like any young bride-elect, our
Dutch friend is trying "to amass"
a trousseau. Of primary impor-
tance are towels, sheets, pillow
cases, and table cloths, many of
which she has made from Ameri-
can flour sacks. She asks particu-
larly that we send her some of
these goods not the flour sacks.

In closing, Maryke says she
hopes Julienne has not become
giddy after hearing her dirge.
Lastly, she says her brother, age
23, would like to correspond with
some of us to improve his Eng-
lish, of course.

To Speak
Nov. 22

Louis P. Lochner, expert on
Germany, will open the public lec-
ture association series with an
address Friday night, Nov. 22, on
"What About Germany Now? Un-
conditional Surrender Means Un-
conditional Responsibility."

Lochner was for 15 years chief
of the Berlin bureau of the As-
sociated Press. He was the last
correspondent to leave Germany
in 1942 and the first to return
when the war was over. He wit-
nessed the Nurenberg trials and
has just come back from an ex-
tensive tour of Germany. In 1939
he won the Pulitzer prize for dis-
tinguished service as a foreign
correspondent.

Because of illness, Herbert
Agar, who was scheduled to lec-
ture, was unable to come to Agnes
Scott this year. The Lecture as-
sociation headed by Miss Emma
May Laney, faculty sponsor, and
Betty Andrews, chairman, has
planned a full series including a
scientist, a poet, and an authority
on the Far East, in addition to
the opening lecturer.

Robert Frost, " Agnes Scott's
poet," will probably return to the
campus at the end of January,
and a lecturer on the Far East
will speak in the spring.

In response to requests for an
eminent scientist-lecturer, the as-
sociation will bring Professor Det-
lev W. Bronk to the campus in
January for a two-day visit. Pro-
fessor of biophysics at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania and head of
the physics division of the Nation-
al Research council, Bronk is dis-
tinguished for his research in

Miss Macs Book To Have
Spanish Edition, 8th Printing

Happy Birthday, Miss MacDou-
gall! And an exciting birthday it
was too, for on that day Miss Mac
heard from McGraw-Hill Publish-
ing Company that they were go-
ing into the eighth printing of her
book, "Biology, The Science of
Life".

Of the 20,000 copies of the book
released June 26, almost the en-
tire stock is exhausted. The new
printing will put out 25,000 copies.
J. S. Thompson, president
of the publishing firm, said in a
recent letter to Miss MacDougall,
"Ordinarily we would not be writ-
ing you on this detail, (the new
printing) but the record is so im-
pressive that I requested the priv-
ilege of telling you what is going
on".

Another birthday present came
from McGraw-Hill a few days lat-
ter with the news that Editorial
Atlante S. A., of Mexico City, a
well-known Spanish language

publishing house, has asked to
bring out a Spanish language
edition of her book with the origi-
nal illustrations for use in the
translation.

Said W. A. Barra of the For-
eign Department of McGraw-Hill,
"I might mention that his firm
(the Editorial Atlante) has a very
fine reputation and will take good
care of the illustration copy".

Off the Copy Hook

After lights, several night ago,
Angie Anderson suddenly decided
to put some lotion on her face so
that she might be beautiful next
day. Running her hands over a
number of the jars on her dresser,
her fingers finally lighted on the
right one. Tipping the jar at its
usual angle, she plunged her fin-
gers into the liquid and began to
annoint her face. The lotion didn't
feel quite as it should, so Angie
switched on the light to assure
herself that she was using the
right thing. You can guess the
rest her "lotion" had been per-
manent purple ink!

At the close of chapel last Fri-
day, one of those intelligent (?)
sophs found herself unable to find
an empty rack in which to leave
her hymnbook. After looking for
several minutes for the empty
spot where the book had come
from, she gave up, pushed up one
of the seats and left the book in
the seat. An hour later she sud-
denly realized the hymnbook was
her history 215 textbook.

Marie Cuthbertson decided that
it was time for El Bear to have
a nickname. Calling in her friends
she announced that from now on
El was to be known as "Polar"
Bear because her mother was a
White.

mouths for the dining room doors
to close. Finally the doors closed,
and a line of students with rap-
turous expressions marched out of
the kitchen triumphantly carrying
brownies. At the end of the line
came a senior looking sadly at
what she had obtained a piece of
cornbread.

Following Mr. Sandburg's ad-
dress in chapel Thursday morn-
ing, a visitor on the campus was
overheard asking: "Who is that
gentleman who introduced Mr.
Sandburg? He's always so nice
and helpful when I come out
here." Her young son shrugged his
shoulders and coolly replied, "Oh,

Profs Pleas Met Overseas;
Blackf riars' Cast Is Ready

By Lidie Lee

Give me ten men who can act, was Miss Roberta Winter's
plea severa weeks ago while casting for l 'Lady Windermere's
Fan." Now with rehearsals shaping up for the performance,
Nov. 27, she says she's really found them.

Wartime man shortage added an unusual problem to re-
cent Blackfriar's performances.
But with peace came men, and
actresses are warned to look to
their laurels as some really fine
actors prepare for the campus
production of Oscar Wilde's time-
tested hit.

Overseas Recruits

Two members of the cast come
to us from overseas. Bob Chap-
lain, a former member of the
RAF, comes from London, En-
gland. He will appear as Lord
Paisley and will give additional
advice on correct English pro-
nunciations for the play which has
a nineteenth century English
background.

Julian Altobellis in a rather odd
way can credit Africa for his
present part as Mr. Rufford. He
met Miss Winter and became in-
terested in "Lady Windermere's
Fan" through her brother who
was in the service with him in
Africa. Mr. Altobellis also will
help with the production end of
the play.

Guenther Back

Four of the ten are old favorites
to Agnes Scott audiences. Bob
Guenther, who will appear in the
male lead as Lord Windermere,
will be remembered as the proud
Mr. Darcy in "Pride and Preju-
dice" and as Pat in Phillip Bar-
ry's psychological drama, "Hotel
Universe." A member of the Uni-
versity of Buffalo Blue Masquers,
he has been active in local dra-
matics. He is associated with the
Georgia Playhouse, and was a
featured player in "The Drunk-
ard" presented at Oglethorpe uni-
versity this summer.

Fred Parsons, as Lord Darling-
ton opposite Jenny Wren's Mrs.
Erlynne, is another familiar face.
Campus theater goers will remem-
ber him as Norman in "Hotel Uni-
verse."

Joe Dayan, of the Georgia Play-
house, will be remembered for
his recent portrayal of Cousin
Brandon in Blackfriars' workshop
production, "The Long Christmas
Dinner". He will play Mr. Hopper
in the coming production.

Ross Beach, also of the Georgia
Playhouse and "The Long Christ-
mas Dinner" cast will appear as
Sir James Royston.

Guild Contributes

Newcomers to Agnes Scott dra-
matices include Warren Roberts,
of the Atlanta Theater Guild, who
is by no means a newcomer to
Atlanta theater audiences. He

Hockey Upset

Juniors Knock Sophs
From Undefeated Ranks

By Edna Claire Cunningham

On a beautiful day for hockey
the underdog junior team beat the
sophs, and the seniors overcame
the freshmen in the games Fri-
day.

The senior-frosh fracas was a
close one, and the frosh defense
made the seniors fight for every

inch of the ground won. The sen-
iors, however, outplayed the frosh
and were a continuous threat in
the striking circle. The first goal
was made by B. J. Radford near
the end of the half on a long un-
attacked run.

Yates Makes Goal

In the second period both teams
slowed down but the seniors con-
tinued to triumph. Chris Yates
made a goal for the seniors, an
unusual feat for a halfback. The
third and final goal was made by
Hoyt, and the game ended 3-0 for
the seniors.

The juniors began play with a
spurt of energy thaft seemed to
last throughout the game. It was a
hard-fought match from the be-
ginning bully and was played as
much at the junior goal as at the
soph one. The juniors, however,
made their scoring drives tally for
points.

Soph weak passing seemed to be
the juniors' strong point. Soph
passes were intercepted and con-
verted into long drives for the
juniors, and the quick passes of the
juniors from center to inner and
wing made ground for the up-
perclassmen.

Half Ends 3-1

juniors seemed to stop the sophs

in the striking circle and kept the
goal well protected.

The first half ended 3-1 for the
juniors. Mary Humphries made
the three goals for the juniors and
Jean Fraser scored for the sophs.

During the second half, played in
the twilight, the juniors succeeded
in making two more goals. A tense
moment came when soph goalie,
Brannon and Little played a goal
bully. Brannon succeeded in get-
ting it out of the striking circle.
The game ended 5-2 for the jun-
iors.

Freshmen Elections

Friday morning the freshmen will sign their first of-
ficial ballots at Agnes Scott.

At the same time, they will climax their weeks of orient-
ation.

They wil be doing more than electing seven girls to serve
as their leaders and spokesmen for the rest of the year, im-
purtant and far-reaching as this step must be. They will be
taking their place as a full-fledged class with as much voice
in campus affairs as any senior's.

We call freshmen elections the climax of orientation be-
cause they give the class its first experience with Agnes
Scott "politics" a new kind for many a freshman through
the years.

The strength of Agnes Scott institutions and organizations
lies in our method of chosing our leaders. We don't "politic".
w e don't kiss babies or suddenly start going to vespers every
night. We don't have political parties or factions, as some
colleges do; nobody organizes to elect anybody and no group,
as far as we know, could "manage" an election. No group
wants to. You won't find any machines.

Tell you what you will find though elections that are
straight and elections that have a single issue who is the
best girl for the job. This is the way Agnes Scott votes and
it is a tradition of which we are proud.

Members of the three upper classes will be looking to
the freshmen to carry on that spirit Friday.

Toward Cooperation

It's a couple of months before we will complete registra-
tion for winter quarter, but it's not too soon to start working
on some system of transportation between Agnes Scott and
Emory. Emory has expanded its facilities this year and of-
fers many fine chances to supplement courses at Agnes
Scott under the University system.

Sometimes lack of quick transportation has meant drop-
ping a course or has discouraged a girl from trying to take
Emory courses. We know that the College has made efforts
to operate a bus; and that the Georgia Power company plans
to run a bus beteween the campuses sometime next year.
But, please, couldn't something be done for next quarter.?

Lucky as we are to have the chance to take Emory uni-
versity courses, please don't let a matter of half an hour
for four miles come between us! Let's see the two institu-
tions show evidence of the cooperation the University sys-
tem can mean.

N. B. Debate Tourney

For the second consecutive year Agnes Scott is playing
host to the All-Southern Intercollegiate Debate tournament.

This Friday event is outstanding for the campus, as one
of the few intercollegiate activities in which the college
participates.

The final debate in MacLean is open to the pubic, offering
an opportunity to hear the labor question and many of its
problems aired by students well prepared to discuss the
subject. The tournament contributes to the campus not only
in bringing southern colleges together on our campus, but
also as an authoritative agent for views about world affairs
today.

The final debate begins at 7:30. The best welcome will be a
good audience.

Gabbing

With

Gilchrist

By Carolyn Gilchrist

As exam schedules are posted,
seated meals begin, and hockey
games go into the final stages let
us look around at our campus life
and activities. Is everything going
smoothly ? On the surface it would
seem so, but let us dig a little
deeper.

The scene; A senior's room.

The time: One a. m. in the
morning.

As our scene opens two seniors
are discussing life as it was when
they were freshmen in contrast to
life as the present freshman class
seems to find it. (The big dif-
ference being that essential item
you guessed it men!)

All at once their reverie is in-
terrupted by a voice insistently
calling under their window. Peer-
ing out, they are amazed to be-
hold a figure who seems to re-
semble Cinderella home from the
ball. The trouble is quickly iron-
ed out, however, when they dis-
cover that the damsel in distress
is only a poor Hottentot that Mr.
Jones has inadvertently locked
out.

P. S. Our Cinderella has resolv-
ed that midnight visits to cot-
tages are out from now on.

Late hours remind us night
hawks that not everyone on camp-
us has lights. However, that ev-
eryone makes the best of their lot
is best illustrated by the fresh-
men who stayed up until 1:30
waiting for the lights-out bell that
never did ring.

Then there is the story of the
two men who were so inspired af-
ter hearing Mr. Sandburg speak
that they came to hear him speak
again the following morning in
chapel. As Dr. McCain stood up
to introduce the speaker, one of
the visitors was heard to whisper
to the other, "who is that man?"
The reply came, "I don't know,
but it seems like he's always
around here."

Discovery: A slide rule serves
many purposes. One senior after
attempting in vain to discover the
many uses to which it is claimed
a slide rule can be put, finally
gave up and used it to measure
her knitting.

Sandburg Paradox
Intrigues Campus

By Mary Beth Little

A man with hair like a white thatched roof, broad hands
used to wood and metal, and the expression of a kind satyr,
stood before an estimated 1500 people, Nov. 6. He began to
speak in his sonorous, well-deep voice. His unusual inflect-
ions, the way he would climb words as wheels up hill which
hit unexpected bumps and then

glide smoothly on, the way he
seemed to taste and savor some
words like peeeople, courrrage,
laaaughter, and his water and
wind cadence startled the audi-
ence into hypnotised silence.

Carl Sandburg spoke that night
of the war, reading his poem
"Storms Begin Far Back";
he read subjective poems such as
"Wilderness" (menagerie of self),
"Gone" and others. He moved and
amused listeners alternately by
his excerpts from "The People,
Yes", a collection of tall tales,
sketches, and home spun proverbs.
He told the fable of the maggots
who fell from the WPA shovel.
He maae piercing comments about
epics which express eternal "want-
ing"; and he said the people never
arrive, are "always on the way."

After fluctuating bet ween
whimsy, Americana, and stocism,
he concluded with folk songs, ac-
companied by a plaintive guitar,
which were drawn from Illinois,
New Mexico, Texas, and New Or-
leans.

The next day the chapel was
packed, each person intensely at-
tentive. Mr. Sandburg commented
later that he saw a "gravity on
the faces" that inspired him be-
yond the topic he had chosen. He
had hoped to project the "long
shadow of .Lincoln", instead, he
felt that he with the audience had
brought the very ghosts of Lin-
coln and Lee into the chapel.

Sandburg, however, had not
completed his impact on Agnes
Scott; he had yet two more hours.

As Varied As The States
Those who were with him then,
when talking later, found that
reconstructing his faceted per-
sonality into a whole was a hope-
less jigsaw puzzle. He was as
varied as the states, as illusive as
smoke, as concrete as a forge.

The fragments were unforget-
table, despite their heterogenity.
Conversation ran, "Remember the
way he asked about everyone's

hometown his rib-climbing

laugh. . . .what he said about hav-
ing a hard life and hard death and

then going to hell being "too damn
hard". . . .his lopsided green tie. .
his nubby cigar which he recover-
ed after chapel but refused to
throw away because our "campus
was too clean".. his admiration
for our library chandaliers . . . the
Spanish- American War button...
his limp gray sweater. ..."

Those who had lunch with him
remembered his statement "goats
are spiritual" and his discourse
on the ninety-eight goats on his
North Carolina farm. .. .his en-
thusiasm for waltzing how

when offered mayonnaise, he joked
about the embarrassment of see-
ing salad dressing and his

tale about asking too-polite sales-
girls for "schroff" and the way
he cupped his hands together,
peeked in, and chuckled mischie-
vously.

Those in the writers' conference
also remember disconnected
flashes: the way he managed to
ask more questions than he an-
swered. . . .that he said he began
writing about Lincoln because he
wanted young people to know him
not as "A Republican myth" but
as an embodiment of America...
that when asked what it took to
write, he said, "prayer, solitude,
toil".

"Hyacinths and Biscuits"

Sandburg has defined poetry as
"a synthesis of hyanciths and bis-
cuits" and "the opening and clos-
ing of a door, leaving those who
look through to guess about what
is seen during a moment." Those
phrases easily express the feeling
of the campus concerning the
poet; for in his brief stay he left
so many parodoxical impressions,
that when he departed everyone
was left wanting more.

They could not reconcile the
"hyacinths and biscuits," the man
who would "pry loose old walls. . .
loosen old foundations" and the
one who likes Gothic arches and
the study of history, the sharp
individualist and the man of the
common people. Perhaps in the
near future he will again reopen
the door, and this time, we hope,
leave it slightly ajar.

Splinters From This Week s Swapping Post

Huge headline in the Sryacuse
Daily Orange Oct. 31: "Thanks-
giving Cut Penalities Removed."
Students can cut the 'days after
the holiday just as they can any
day.

What brought results was a
petition signed by the six lead-
ers of the chief student groups,
saying in part" . . the students
of Syracuse are desirous of se-
curing the best education pos-
sible. Therefore, we are posi-
tive the attendance at classes
before and after Thanksgiving
will not be affected by this act-
ion."

Suhs, we of the South take off
our hats to our brethern of the
North.

At Limestone College they are
going to install a loud speaker
system on each floor of each
dorm, as well as in a few other
buildings. This sounds fine: could
eliminate the need for inside
phones, elevators, and bells: and
maybe you could stretch out on
the floor with you feet on your
bed during chapel programs.

Winthrop did it: "Your Profs
Parade," faculty stunt night, was
set for Nov. 7. And only 10 cents!

Talking about vocational guid-
ance work, here's an angle: Ran-
dolph-Macon Woman's College has
a vocational guidance director as-
sisted by a committee with fac-
ulty members and a representa-
tive from each class. Office hours
are from 9 a. m. to 12 daily.

Seems some people think we
were a little hasty in burying Kil-

ing beyond any possible doubt
that he is right there, rooming

W.S.C. Chapel Brings
3 Foreign Students

Three foreign exchange students will participate in the
chapel program Friday morning, when World Service council
will present the World Service Fund as an item in its pro-
posed budget.

Participating in a panel discussion of student experiences
during the war will be Rolf Otte-

son, from Emory university, Aemi)
Pouler, and Albert Calderon, Og-
lethorpe.

"The purpose of the discussion
is to enable us to understand more
fully the problems of students
abroad and to see what kind of
people the fund helps," explaned
Nellie Scott, chairman of the
council, who will preside over the
discussion.

Rolf, a Norwegian exchange
student in the Emory journalism
school, took an active part in un-
derground work during the war,
serving as an officer in the Royal
Norwegian underground army in
the division of spywork. He also
edited an underground newspaper,
and was interned in a German
concentration camp.

Albert, from Jerusalem, Pales-
tine, speaks six languages Ital-
ian, English. French, German, He-
brew, and Arabic. He is studying
textile engineering and chemistry
at Oglethorpe where he says there
isn't much to do. Albert hopes to
enter Tech soon.

Chapel on Wednesday, Nov. 27
will again be devoted to the coun-
cil. With special emphasis on the
World Student Service fund, all
the items in the proposed budget
will be presented in detail. The
Students will be asked to vote on
the budget and to make their
pledges at that time.

Council has already contributed
$124 to the fund this year, com-
prising the offering taken at the
worship service on campus Sun
day, Nov. 3.

Freshmen Elect
Harris, Chance
Carpenter

A close run-off vote count put
Polly Harris, of Greenville, S. C.
at the head of the freshman class
after elections Friday morning.

Jessie Carpenter of Delray
Beach, Fla., and Casey Chance, of
Athens, were named freshman
representatives to Student Gov-
ernment executive committe.

Other nominees for the presi-
dency were Casey Chance, Bar-
bara Macht, and Kathie Davis.
A run-off between Casey and Pol-
ly gave Polly the class leadership
which she began as freshman
stunt chairman.

Charlotte Bartiett, nominated
for both offices, withdrew her
name in order to retain her seat
in Lower House to which she was
elected this fall.

Election of a vice-president,
secretary-treasurer, and repre-
sentatives to World Service coun-
cil were expected to be held this
week.

H. MacGregor
Resigns Post

Howard M. MacGregor, assis-
tant business manager-treasurer
of the college since 1943, has sub-
mitted his resignation effective
Jan. 1, President J, R. McCain
announced.

Mr. MacGregor has accepted a
position as treasurer of Muhlen-
burg college, Allentown, Penna.

Replacing his as assistant to
Business Manager J. C. Tart will
be P. J. Rogers, Jr., who for the
past several years has been con-
nected with comptroller's office at
Georgia Tech. Mr. and Mrs. Rog-
ers will move temporarily into the
home on South Candler street
now occupied by the MacGregors,
Dr. McCain said.

Mr. MacGregor will be do-
ing work at Muhlenburg more di-
rectly connected with his train-
ing than his buildings - and-
grounds duties here, the presi-
dent pointed out.

"He has done very fine work
for us," Dr. McCain declared,
"especially considering the in-
adequate help we have had. He
deserves a great deal of apprecia
tion."

Sophs To Sell
Directories Soon

Reese Newton, sophomore presi-
dent, announced Friday that the
student directory will be out soon.
Students may buy a copy for 30
cents, she added.

The class voted to set aside $25
for the DeKalb county Welfare
board for Thanksgiving baskets
for the underprivileged.

Ask Ruling
Of Faculty
On Holiday

Student Government announced
yesterday it will ask the admin-
istration to call a special faculty
meeting in the near future to dis-
cuss the proposed extension of
Thanksgiving holidays next year.

Members of Representat i v e
Council in an unofficial poll found
that a large portion of the fac-
ulty favored meeting.

President J. R. McCain was
out of town and could not be
reached for comment.

Calling of the meeting followed
a heated student meeting Thurs-
day in which a large majority of
the student body approved the
proposal for an extended holiday.

Only about 20 opposed the plan,
prese n t e d by Representative
Council which included the reser-
vation that the two days to be
made up would not be taken from

Four Blackfriars
Win First Prize
On Radio Quiz

Four Blackfriars members fried
the airwaves and brought home
the bacon last Wednesday when
they won first prize of $30 and a
pair of nylons apiece on WAGA's
"Quizzical Quest of Atlanta" pro-
gram.

Answering stumpers like, "Who
was the mayor of Atlanta in
1916?", or, "What two teams par-
ticipated in the first football
game ever piayed in Atlanta?"
the girls piled up a total of 154
points to top their opponents,
from the Atlanta Theater Guild
by 38 points.

High scorer for the evening was
Carolyn Gilchrist. Other mera-
of the team were Reese Newton,
Barbara Macris, and Lidie Lee.

"Yes'm I like to bring things out
here," replied Willy Shields talk-
ing about delivering innumerable
cokes to Agnes Scott nightly from
Threadgill's. Perhaps you've never
had the opportunity to become ac-
quainted with the little fellow
with the shy, sweet grin, but if
you have ever talked to him,
you've found that Willy just ra-
diates personality.

Willy is thirteen years old and
in the sixth grade in school. He
studies "rithmetic and hist'ry,"
and when asked which of
his studies he liked best, Willy,
like many, was totally without
an answer.

Last Christmas is still vivid in
Willy's mind, for at that time he
became the proud owner of a new
bicycle. The bicycle he rides now
is not the same one, however, for
a friend of Willy's "ran into a
car, and it got busted up." Willy
bears no ill feelings toward his
friend, it seems.

Besides having personality, Wil-
ly has ambition. He works at
Threadgill's until ten o'clock at
night, then goes home to study.
He wants to be a mechanic some
day. The way Willy's face lighted
up when he said the word "me-
chanic" shows the intensity of his
his interest. He said he fixed bi-
cycles "when they aren't broke
too bad". Evidently last year's
Christmas gift "got broke too

Christian Addresses
Georgia Science Club

S. M. Christian, professor of
physics, discussed "The History of
Science in the South", in a lecture
to the Science club of the Uni-
versity of Georgia, Oct. 15.

This history reveals that south-
ern scientists have achieved prom-
inence in a surprising number of
fields; yet they have not given the
world any important scientific
truths.

Holidays

Continued from page 1
Christmas or spring holidays.

Student government received a
suggestion for the holiday, sub
ject of a News poll Oct. 30, and
executive committee passed it
unanmously with no reservations.
Representative council gave it
unanimous approval with a rec-
ommendation that the days not
be made up during Christmas or
spring holidays.

Much discussion pro and con
preceeded the final vote of the
student body on the question.
Most of the students seemed to
favor adding the two days to the
end of spring quarter which would
help to equalize the quarters.

From the discussion it appeared
that the majority of students do
not want to give up the three
holidays before exams and that
granting cuts before and after
Thanksgiving is not feasible be-
cause it would be unfair to the
faculty.

It was found that about three-
fourths of the students could go
home for a four-day holiday.

Jane Meadows, student govern-
ment president, explained that
the number of holidays cannot be
changed this year because clas-
ses are planned and that the two
days, if added to the holiday next
year, must be made up because
the Southern Association of Col-
leges requires its members to be
in session a certain number of
days.

Swim Pageant
Plays Before
Full House

"Shipwrecked off M e r m aid
Rock", Swimming club's 1946 wa-
ter pageant played in the gym
pool to an overflowing audience
Thursday night.

While spectators hung from the
sides of the pool, stars Cookie
Miller and Jean Fraser opened
the club's annual production built
around the adventures of two lost
children. Featured in the product-
ion were real and imaginary
creatures from the marine world.

Members of the cast were Betty
Blackmon, Weezie Durant Char-
lotte Evans, Patsy McGowan, Pen-
ny Rogers, and Zollie Saxon, mer-
maids; Betty Andrews, Janet Lid-
dell, propoises; Sister Davis, Tina
Hewson, Mary Manly, Gretchen

Yancey and Pagie Violette, water
lilies; Barbara Blair, Bunny Bran-
non and Binky Stubbs, gold fish;
Margaret Hopkins and Robin Rob-
inson, Frogs. Rita Adams posed as
a jelly fish. The water sprite was
played by Jenny Wren, and the
turtle by Beth Walton.

Committees for the pageant in-
cluded Jane Barker, Zollie Saxon,
and Bob Blair, scenery; Robin
Robinson, Charlotte Evans and
Jane Rushin, music; Lanie Har-
ris, Betty Blackmon, and Bunny
Brannon, costumes.

Miss Barbara Ames, of the phy-
sical education department and
Miss Priscilla Lobeck, of the art
department, acted as advisors.

Tennis Doubles Hit
Semi-Final Stage

Tennis doubles reached the
semi-finals this week with a
strong senior combination, Hough
and Andrews, scheduled to meet
Frosh Williamson and Carpenter
in a battle for the 1946 champions.

Veterans at the game, Hough
and Andrews were in the semi-fi-
nals contest when last year's tour-
nament was cancelled because of
weather. Ann Hough defeated
Joan Crangle last year for the
tennis singles championship.

Freshmen Williamson and Car-
penter, though new to Agnes Scott
competition, have already met
some tough players and will be
ready for some hard fast playing
when the match comes off next
week.

As Juniors, Seniors Tie

Tension Bound Spectators
Watch Upperclass Battle

By Lorton Lee

Junior and senior hockey teams fought to a 1-1 draw Fri-
day afternoon in a tension packed game, while freshmen
struggled to hold rampaging sophs to a 5-0 lead.

The juniors who won their first game of the season last
Friday against the sophomores showed the same spirit and
again this week, but.

teamwork
the seniors were not taken off
guard. First one team and then
the other seemed to have the ad-
vantage. At the half however the
score was still 0-0.

Tension Mounts

Tension grew as the second half
got under way. In the excitement
two of the players collided and E.
Claire Cunningham had to be
taken to the infirmary. In
spite of the loss of their strong-
est fullback the juniors made the
goal of the game, with Sheely
Little doing the shooting.

The seniors soon gained control
of the ball and Goode brought the
score to 1-1 with a goal for the
seniors. The remainder of the
game was a close fight as both
teams tried but were unable to
score.

Sophs Sweep Ahead

The freshmen-sophomore game
was less exciting. The sophomores
took the ball on the first bully
and swept down the field for a
goal. They returned for four other
goals during the first half not al-
lowing the freshmen team to get
beyond their 25 yard line.

The sophomores substituted in
the second half and the freshmen
held them at 5-0. The freshmen
broke through several times but
were stopped by the able tackling
of Cuthbertson and Sullivan. Nan-
cy Huey, playing the first time on
the sophomore team made one of
the goals, and Fraser, Blake, and
Lee scored the other points.

The Holiday Question

Students voted Thursday after a thoughtful, enthusiastic
discussion on a definite, clear-cut issue do we or do we not
want a two-day extension of Thanksgiving holidays if the
days are not taken from Christmas or spring holidays. The
understanding was that in all probability the days would be
added to the spring period.

The vote was overwhelmingly in favor of the extension
for certain valid reasons.

Perhaps the faculty if they meet can work out a plan
by which we can have the desired holiday o without the un-
desirable features. They have student opinion as expressed
last Thursday for a guide. We want the extension if it does
not mean changing our present Christmas and Spring
vacations.

The MacGregors Leave

The resignation of Howard M. MacGregor as assistant
business manager-treasurer will mean the loss to the campus
of five of our favorite people.

Since coming to Agnes Scott three years ago, Mr. and Mrs.
MacGregor have participated actively in campus affairs.
Their friendliness and charm have meant much to all of us.
Kady and Sally, too, have been campus favorites, each serving
as senior class mascot. The littlest MacGregor rounds out
the trio that liven many an outdoor gym class or cafeteria
meal.

We're sorry you're going, MacGregors. The best wishes of
all Agnes Scott go with you.

Three Nights A Week

Some people are trying to tell American young people
that they will all turn skeptical and materialistic, because
that is what war does.

We don't like that point of view we never could see that
people change essentially over night. But those who look for
skepticism could point to the handful at vespers at Agnes
Scott three times a week and make the most optimistic
stop and think.

Three years ago just about everyone went from dinner to
vespers. Now, only a faithful few go to MacLean for the
same service we used to love. It's too bad. Vespers can mean
different things to each of us, but one thing it has for us all:
the quiet of the completely simple vesper service is a tran-
quility and steadiness we need.

We're not trying to sell tickets to an ivory tower: vespers
are Agnes Scott's traditional way of tying the day together
at the end of helping us keep our feet on the solid ground.

The simplicity and strength that prevade Agnes Scott
vespers can help form that foundation on which we can build
a philosophy that will help.

Date book tells you when and where.

The Night
Before . . .

By Jane Alsobrook

Christmas is coming! Rich's is
'decorated in fushia, orchid and
blue. Davidson's sports candlela-
bra, tinsel and bells have blos-
somed in nearly every store win-
dow. And Agnes Scott seems to
have caught the Santa Claus
spirit. Witness the frantic pre-
parations that are taking place in
every dorm.

First came the exam schedules
with the proud arrogance of the
fortunate few who leave on Thurs-
day, with the teethgnashing envy
of those who are finished by Wed-
nesday except for that exam on
Saturday.

And with exam schedules comes
the reservation hunt, the dash to
the telephone, the complicated
time tables, and the extensive fig-
uring of the swiftest route home.
Why, I even heard of one fresh-
man who recklessly used the pay
phone in her haste to get a ticket.

And now the horror of Christ-
mas shopping is upon us, draw-
ing us toward the maddening
crowd and the noise and the in-
decision. Aunt Tillie is a problem,
as well as Uncle Jack. Susie wants
a cashmere sweater and Buddy a
Cadillac. Cries of "Oh! my aching
feet" ring through the dorms, and
Mr. Tart has reported a run on
his bank that is stupendous.

But, there are other ways in
which we are preparing. In the
urgency of the situation, atten-
tion to hips and waistline is in-
creasing by bumps and rolls. The
new fervor has set Rebekah to vi-
brating, and the grunts and
groans of would-be beauties echo
and re-echo through the walls.
Oh, roll the leg over and butt
the wall twice. People stand in
line to splash cold water on, morn-
ing and night. And Tom or Jack is
the inspiration for many a hair
style.

Yes, the Joy Season approaches,
the Christmas bells are ringing.
The smell of turkey, fruit cake
and" eggnod is in the air. Pass the
Ry-Krips, please.

Linguists Starve
At Table of Babel

By Ginny Andrews

"Figures prove facts," said some
noble mathematician. And we
agree with him! After some two
weeks of seated meals the figures
of the girls eating at the French
and Spanish tables have proven
the facts that some folks are slow-
ly starving due to, (1) lack of suf-
ficient vocabulary, and (2) lack of
sufficient arm-reach to cover said
lack of vocabulary. But everyone
admits that all in all it's a grand
way to starve.

If the tables offer nothing else,
they do offer humor of the pro-
foundest and most perplexing sort
especially perplexing. Have you
ever tried to translate a pun from
English into Spanish? The re-
sults are generally disastrous! But
those at the Spanish table will
never forget that first tongue-tied
night the conversation was just
about limited to "Buenos Noches"
and "Como esta usted?" until Zol-
lie, with a meek expression and a
desperate air, pulled out from un-
der her napkin, a Spanish-Ameri-
can dictionary! That night we
glowed as conversational geniuses.
After that we outlawed the aid of

the dictionary, and consequently
the table-talk and our faces felL
One night the neighboring tables;
looked on in terror as two eager
pseudo-Spaniards brandished the-
knives and mumbled in incorrect
Spanish, 4 T engage you, Senorita>
in conversation, enguarde!" Oh,
for Esperanto!!

The French table too, has had
its faux-pas. They say one bewil-
dered girl, asked in politest Ger-
man "Would someone please pass
the salt?" No response. Try again.
This time in flawless Spanish she
murmured, "Would someone
please pass the salt?" No re-
sponse. Finally, the light dawned:
in startled and emphatic English,.
"Oh goodness, this is the French
table!" P. S.: She got the salt.

Then there was the silent and
observant sophomore who philoso-
phized at the end of a Silent,
meal, "Now I know why the
French talk with their hands so
much!" Yep, she does have a
speaking point.

And speaking of speaking, Pasa
usted el dicionaria, s'il vous plait.

anto.

Splinters From the Swapping Post

Georgia's Governor Ellis Ar-
nall drew a "capacity" crowd at
Tulane when he outlined a pro-
gram designed to "readmit the
South to the Union: (1) more aa-
equate and better educational
facilities, (2) more adequate
health facilities, (3) industriali-
zation of the South, (4) an im-
proved agricultural system, (5>
promotion of service trades. (6)
re-evaluation of government, and,
(7) better public works program.
Famous last words, unfortunately.

gue at Syracuse has sent out in-

Under a cartoon headed, "Put

Technique from cross-town says
editorially that the non-agression
pact signed with the University of

"No one at either school has any
idea of terminating the rivalry
existing between the student
bodies. ..."

Dog Day:

Gentlemen scholars at the Uni-
versity of Virginia who live in the
"veterans' village" journeyed to*
the polls last week to decide
whether dogs should be allowed in
the crowded "residential area."
Seems the population is skyrock-
eting. What we wonder is, how
much is a mere X on a ballot go-
ing to mean to Fido?

The Executive board of Ala-

ment is working on new dating^

Injection For Protectionor How To Shoo Flu

By Betty Turner

Last year Agnes Scott students
broke a record of some twenty
years standing.

There were several unwelcome
quests on campus who did a lot to
undermine student morale, to low-
er student efficiency, and to give
generously to all who asked for it
a perpetual case of "Monday
blues".

The guests had fancy names-
Acute Coryza. Influenza, Laryn-
gitis, Acute Rhinitis but many
Hottenlots came to know them
more intimately as Cold and Flu.
There were 2,323 patient days
spent by Hottentots in the in-
firmary last year, a total three
times that of any previous rec-

ord in the past 22 years. There
were 425 patients. Of these 79
had flu, and 74 others were
downed by bronchitis, colds, si-
nusilis, laryngitis, and tit its
media.

The guests were definitely un-
welcome, but were they uninvit-
ed? Lack of sleep and exam week
(or any week's) rush bring on ner-
vous tension, and nervous tension
with a little bit of filtrable virus
that flourishes this time of year
may bring on trouble.

A story in the Atlanta Journal
last week predicted a flu epidemic
this winter that will rival the one
which swept the country after the
first World War.

Medical science offers you
pood odds, with about nine out

of ten successful immunizations.
The Medical department lias
been fortunate to secure enough
flu vaccine to take cane of the
entire student body and offers

yon the opportunity to be free

from COldB and flu for the next
six months.

During the latter part of last
year's epidemic, the department
was able to obtain some virus vac-
cine, and none of the lucky thirty
girls inoculated spent any of those
2,323 patient days in the infirm-
ary.

This year every single girl has
the opportunity to avoid flu and
its kindred colds, sinus, and bron-
chitis. All that's required is the
nerve to face one shot and $1.25.
Have you got what it takes?

Friars To Flip Fan
Tonight At 8:30

By Lidie Lee

Campus members became increasingly fan conscious this
week as dress rehearsals passed and preparations for Black-
friars' production of ''Lady Windermere's Fan" reached their
final stages.

Cast members learning the latest fan technique for to-
night's performance at 8:30 p. m.

in Presser Hall fluttered over the
campus and Stars Margaret Mc-
Manus, Jenny Wren, and Bob
Guenther brushed up on lines for
the comedy which revolves around
a misplaced fan. Margaret loses
it. Jenny gets it, and Bob is just
plain in the dark about the whole
thing.

Added excitement for tonight's
performance comes from the fact
that this will be the first chance
for the year's Bennett cup judges
to see Blackfriars at work.

In the library Mrs. C. M. Wes-
ton's collection of nineteenth cen-
tury fans also caused much com-
ment. The twelve fans in the col-
lection are all of the period in
which the background of Oscar
Wilde's comedy is set. Ranging
from an ostrich plume sensation
to a prim and demure white fan
with colonial figures painted on it,
the collection is truly eye-stop-
ping.

All the fans belonged to mem-
bers of Mrs. Westons' family.
Most of them were made in the
United States. One white lace
beauty with carved ivory handle,
the prize of the collection, was
brought over from Paris in 1867.
Other fans include one made of
pheasant feathers with tiny pheas-
ants painted on the surface of the
feathers.

The collection will be displayed
in Presser hall before the play
begins.

Atlanta Editor
To Talk Dec. 6

Ralph McGill, editor of the At-
lanta Constitution and interna-
tionally known newsman, will
speak in chapel Dec. 6 on the Stu-
dent government ideal, "The Dem-
ocratic Ideal Good for a Sane At-
titude Toward Other People".

Now editor of the Atlanta Con-
stitution, Mr. McGill is an alum-
nus of Vanderbilt university. He
has served as a reporter, political
writer, and sports editor on The
Banner in Nashville, Tenn. Com-
ing to Atlanta, he served first as
sports editor, then as executive
editor of the Constitution. Since
1942 he has been the editor.

Active in both wars, he served
with the United States Marine
corps from 1918 to 1919. In this
war, he was chairman of the Se-
lective Service board and a mem-
ber of the War Labor board for
Georgia.

A member of the Georgia Acad-
emy of Social sciences, he was
awarded the Rosenwald fellowship
for travel in Europe.

Polish Girl
Enters ASC

Eva Finkelstein, of Lublin, Po-
land, will enter Agnes Scott next
quarter to complete her college
studies, President J. R. McCain
announced Friday.

Hillel society, an international
Jewish philanthropic organization
which has brought several deserv-
ing students to America, selected
Eva to send for the next session.

She has had several years' train-
ing in commercial and journalistic
field, Dr. McCain said. She will
live in Atlanta and be a day stu-
dent, probably in the junior class.

Center Endows
Negro Colleges

Climaxing a four-year campaign
of the University center to
raise funds, the Atlanta Col-
ored Educational Endowment
Fund committee has solicited
$890,000 to be divided among At-
lanta's seven Negro colleges.

Agnes Scott President J. R. Mc-
Cain, committee member, said the
campaign was in recognition of
the Negro leaders who have ren-
dered service to the ideals of Ne-
gro education and who are striv-
ing to elevate the quality of their
educational system.

Chairman of the committee, the
late Thomas K. Glenn, with vice-
chairman W. E. Mitchell, led a
group of 30 white leaders, repre-
senting all religious denomina-
tions, businesses, and professions
in conducting the campaign.

Bare Arms To Stop Flu

Dr. Margaret Burns stressed
again the importance of a unani-
mous request for shots to pre-
vent a recurrence of last year's
epidemic. It takes two minutes
at the gym during Dr. Burns'
office hours, and $1.25.

Vote Called
On WSC
Budget

W T orld Service council's propos-
ed 1946 budget, calling for student
pledges amounting to $2,000, will
be changed or ratified in student
meeting Friday following a review
of the benefiting agencies by
Anne Wheeler, council treasurer.

If the students accept the pro-
posed budget, an average pledge
of $4 from each student enrolled
at the college will be necessary to
meet the goal.

Of the money which the coun-
cil will ask the students to pledge,
$900 is slated for World Student
Service fund; $95 for cancer fund;
$500 for Community Chest; $525
for Red Cross, and $180 for war
orphans.

Members of several leading cam-
pus organizations will make initial
pledges to start the drive this
week.

The program for collecting
pledges this year will differ from
that in former years, in that
three is the maximum number of
installments. Payments will be due
in December, the middle of Janu-
ary, and the first of March.

Gibbs School
Representative
Here Dec. 6

Miss Eloise Buck of the Katha-
rine Gibbs school in New York city
will open the Alumnae associa-
tion's new vocational guidance se-
ries with a talk in chapel Friday,
Dec. 6, on "Employment Oppor-
tunities".

Miss Buck will meet with inter-
ested students at 4 that afternoon
to discuss "The Private Secretary
a Key Position" and to hold an
informal question period. During
her stay on campus, she will also
confer with members of the col
lege staff concerned with voca
tional guidance.

Students desiring private con-
ferences with Miss Buck, as well
as those planning to attend the
afternoon talk, will be given an
opportunity to sign up.

Miss Mary Green has been nam-
ed chairman of the Alumnae Vo-
cational Guidance committee,
which was formed this fall after
alumnae-student discussions on
possibilities for a more active
guidance program. Bringing chap-
el speakers to the college will be
only one phase of the new project.

Other talks planned will include
opportunities open to women in
the general fields of social work,
education, journalism and public
writing, science, and retailing.

New Testament at Columbia Sem-
inary, will teach the 201 Bible
classes until Mr. Gillespie's suc-
cessor is chosen.

When asked why he was return-
ing to the active ministry, Mr.
Gillespie explained, "The truth of
the matter is I have never left
the pastorate or lost my love for
its interests."

"There have not been more
than 5 months during my years
at Agnes Scott when I have not
been supplying a pulpit some-
where." he added. For a little
over two years he has been
preaching at the Philadelphia
Presbyterian church in Atlanta.

Mr. Gillespie was asked to be
the first pastor of the St. Simons
Church which was organized a
little over two months ago. The
manse andgchurch building will be
constructed later, said Mr. Gilles-
pie.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my
work here and full appreciated
the great opportunities afforded
by my years of labor." he added.

A graduate of the University of
South Carolina, Mr. Gillespie has
studied at Columbia Theological
seminary, Louisville Presbyterian
seminary, and Southern Baptist
Theological seminary, where he
received his Ph. D.

Before teaching at Agnes Scott
he held pastorates at Bryson City,
N. C, and Third Presbyterian
church, Louisville, Ky.

Norwegians Contrast
Our Colleges , Theirs

The spirit of one world was
brought home to Agnes Scott last
Friday when Rolf Otteson and
Odd Johnson, Norwegian exchange
students studying at Emory and
Oglethorpe respectively, discussed
in chapel education in Norway to-
day and during the war.

They were presented by World
Service council as a means of fa-
miliarizing the student body with
the World Student Service Fund,
a part of the council's proposed
budget.

Because of the increased de-
mand for education in Norway
since the war ended Nazi control
in the schools, the problem of
space is the pressing one at the
moment, Odd said. Only about
half the applications can be ac-
cepted and many students are be-

ing sent to other countries for
schooling.

Contrasting Norwegian educa-
tion with that which foreign stu-
dents have confronted here, Rolf
said that in Norway, all schools
are free and there is no registra-
tion. Students merely go and sit in
on classes they desire.

The dormitory life at Emory
was new to Rolf, who felt there is
more fun than study. He added
that "living in a dormitory is just
like being back in the army."

Norwegian teachers were de-
scribed as a group of "really nice
people, all of them," but a little
"conscious of their knowledge".
The youth of American professors
and their attitude of comradeship
with students came as a surprise
to the exchange students.

Kilroy's Dead

Imposter Fools
Emory Wheel

Emory's Dooley is a-reaching
for his shootin' arns, and Aggie is
drawing her pearl-handled pistol.
Gullible correspondents for the
Emory Wheel insist that Kilroy is
alive and rooming with Dooley;
The Agnes Scott News insists that
Kilroy is dead. Typewriters have
been flying furiously.

Emory's paper has even gone so
far as to say, "He (Kilroy) has
threatened to inscribe his world-
famous slogan on the ceiling of
Presser hall in printer's ink donat-
ed by the Wheel". Since we are
young ladies, we shall not resort
to violence. Instead, we will only
say, in feline accents, that Emory
is certainly presumptive to think
that the well-traveled Kilroy
would have deigned to remain on
their campus any longer than time
for an autograph.

However, if Emory just must
splash in the wake of Kilroy's
headlines, we might concede that
Emory's Wheel ran over the old
boy. But we still maintain: Kilroy
is dead.

And that's that.

Play By Play

By Lidie Lee

Down on the hockey field Fri-
day watching hockey ciass match-
es Miss Wilburn started reminis-
cing about the changes in gym
costumes since Agnes Scott girls
started being athletic minded.
Middie Models
Seems the girls were wearing
black bloomers, white middies and
long black stockings when hockey
first became popular on the cam-
pus. With time came shocking re-
forms and oldsters were horrified
to see the girls boldly striking out
in black knickers, white shirts,
and knee high socks. After that
it was no time at all until cotton
suits much like the present models
came into fashion.

Remarked one Emory boy who
rides the South Decatur car
about our present day costume,
"Every morning when I go by
the Agnes Scott tennis courts I
get cold all over. There are al-
ways some girls out there play-
ing and I'd think they'd freeze
to death."
The girls can vouch for the com-
fort and utility of the present day
model, however, and it's something
they can thank Miss Wilburn for.
It was quite a struggle to change
from the old system, where each
girl bought her own bloomers and
middies and wore them to shreds,
to the new system where trim cot-
ton models are supplied by the
college.

Time Marches On

Times have changed, and cos-
tumes have changed. Now there is
another change we'd like to see
happen. How about giving our ath-
letic teams a chance to compete
with other girls' colleges through-
out the South? What's the matter
with having inter-collegiate
sports. School spirit in itself is
heightened by competition with
other schools. Girls learn sports-
manlike qualities and the student
body as a whole becomes more
closely united.

We know the arguments
against us. But how about turn-
ing it over in your mind? Time
marches on. Let's keep abreast
of it.

ey stick ror the Dest sophomore

this is the last issue of The A-
nes Scott News before Christ-
mas, names of the winners will

vacation edition.

Seniors Win
Third Doubles
Championship

Ann Hough ana Betty Andrews,
seniors, smashed through for the
tennis doubles championship Wed-
nesday when they defeated fresh-
men Ann Williamson and Jessie
Carpenter, 6-3, 8-6.

Working with their usual ex-
pert teamwork, the seniors came
out with a big lead in the first set.
Carpenter's good net playing and
Williamson's strong forearm drive
made the next set a toughie. Frosh
got the match to set point before
the seniors could break through
for the victory and the title.

Coaches Meet,
Stress Variety

Georgia Committee of the Na-
tional Section on Women's ath-
letics held their fall meeting on
the Agnes Scott campus Saturday
afternoon. Miss Llewellyn Wil-
burn, of> the Agnes Scott physical
education department, served as
chairman for the group.

Members were entertained in
the dining room for lunch, follow-
ed by a meeting at the home of
Dean Carrie Scandrett. Topics un-
der discussion included standards
for women's athletics and ways
and means of providing a variety
of sports for girls and women
throughout the state.

Members of the committee, oth-
er than Miss Wilburn, were Miss
Elizabeth Jenning, tennis chair-
man; Miss Alethea Whitney, socc-
er chairman; Mrs. Blanche Bevins,
swimming chairman; Miss Mary
Margaret Stookey, Softball chair-
man; Mrs. Dorothy Vogel, YWCA
representative; Miss Elizabeth
Boles, industrial representative;
and Miss Jimmy Mims, recreation
representative. Miss Alice Shriver,
formational national chairman of
the NSWA, was a guest at the
meeting.

Hockey Season Nears End;
Sophs Lead Class Scores

The sophomore team handed the seniors a 5-0 defeat, while
the determined freshmen and hardfighting juniors were
locked in a 1-1 tie in Friday's hockey clashes.

very first put the seniors on the
defensive. Jean Fraser scored the
first goal for the sophomores.
Several times during the first half
the seniors got within the strik-
ing circle but were unable to
score.

Sophs Pile Up Score

In the second half the sopho-
mores really got under way and
with hard drives by Fraser and
with Newton's long dribbles dcwn
the field piled up four more goals,
the last one made a split second
before the final whistle was
blown. The seniors continued to
put up a fight, but they were
unable to score against the ram-
paging sophomores.

The juniors expecting an easy
victory were caught off guard by
the skillful playing of the fresh-
men who for the first time added
technique to energetic playing.
Both teams played equally well
and at the half the score was 0-0.
Frosh Score First Goal

In the second half the freshmen
went into action. Warlick scored
the first goal of the game, and al-
so the first goal of the season for
the freshmen. The juniors re-
turned with a goal made by Blair
to tie the score. Trying to break
the deadlock the juniors ran into
some hard luck in the last few

Betty Andrews became top rider
of the year Saturday when she
won the championship cup for ex-
pert horsemanship in Agnes
Scott's fall horse show.

Harriet Lurton, runner up, was
awarded the reserve championship
ribbon and Willa Wagner received
the cup annually presented by
Mrs. W. P. Andrews, of Flat Rock,
N. C, for the rider who has made
the most improvement during the
quarter.

Competing with 15 riders in the
Riding club horsemanship class,
Betty placed first and went on to
win final honors by outriding oth-
er first and second place winners
in the championship class competi-
tion. The championship cup was
awarded by R. O. Estes, of At-
lanta.

Winners in the class competi-
tion were:

Class No. 1: Betty Beddingfield,
first; Fay Tynes, second; Janet
Sowell, third.

Class No. 2: Emily Ann Reid,
first; Jean Edwards, second; Har-
riet Ann McGuire, third.

Class No. 3, Riding club: Betty
Andrews, first; Harriet Lurton,
second; Naomi LeBay, third.

Because of rainy weather the
show was held on the edge of the
hockey field rather than at the
riding ring. The exhibition drill
featuring Riding club members
was rained out also. A gymkhana
followed the competition. A sack
race was won by a team composed
of Gene Goode, Ann Ashley, Todd
McCain, and Tilly Alexander. Mrs.
Adolf Lapp, ring master, present-
ed nosegays to members of the
Riding club.

Miss Jeanette McKibben, of At-
lanta, was judge for the show.
Genet Heery served as announcer
and Gene Goode as manager.

A Fair Trial

The close vote in Exec Monday night, on the question of
asking the administration to write seated meals off as a
flop, seems to parallel divided student opinion.

We feel that too many of us have hold of the wrong end
of the telescope. Agreed that the rolls are pretty cold; that
service is slow; but these short-time flaws seem small when
compared with the over-all objective of the return of peace-
ful dinners.

To make seated meals a success, and quickly before
opinion kills them, is going to take continuing effort on the
part of the dining room staff something we think they
have realized all along. It is also going to take a little more
faith and optimism on our part. Three weeks is too short a
trial.

Facts Demand Action

We have been told time and again how lucky we are to be
Americans, how we, who hold the world's purse strings,
should share. From the pulpits on Sunday to international
relations class on Saturday we are faced with the appalling
fact that a disorganized world is waiting for leadership.

To most of us the constant tune has become monotonous.
We tend to close our ears.

But every so often, as when the Norwegian students came
to tell us how they edited an underground paper and were
dismissed from the university as "dangerous," we wake up,
give ourselves a shake, and say, "Isn't that interesting."

It isn't enough that it's interesting! The cold facts face
us. Maybe we can't dish out soup to the Chinese but World
Service council offers us a chance to give.

Let's forget our Christmas cosmetics and dig down deep.

Dr. Paul McCain

The heartfelt sympathy of everyone at Agnes Scott goes
out to Todd McCain and to President McCain in the death
Monday of her father and his brother, Dr. Paul McCain. Dr.
McCain, who died in an automobile accident, was head of
the tuberculosis sanatorium at Sanatorium, N. C.

His death brings not only personal sorrow to friends of
the McCains, but a deep loss to Southern medicine.

Posey Defines Colleges Aim

In a recent talk to the honor
students at their banquet, Wal-
ter B. Posey, head of the history
department, discussed "A Sound
Academic Program".

Considering the widespread in-
terest in education today, with
schools packed as never before, we
offer Mr. Posey's comments as we
wind up one quarter, face exams
and maybe wonder occasionally
just what we are doing here.

In answer to the question, "Why
go to college", Mr. Posey points
out that the stock phrase, " 'to get
an education,' is a primitive, naive
and yet a wise answer. The funda-
mental purpose, however, is to de-
velop free men and free women
who think straight and speak the
truth, since the freer person is
more competent in solving prob-
lems."

He added that students should
realize QoUege is to begin a pro-
cess; it. is not a destination but
a way.

Quoting Archibald MacLeish's
statement that this war was "not
tor the continents and islands . . .
bttl for men's minds and the king-
doms which men have in their
minds established", Mr. Posey
pointed out the crying need today
for the n rapture of faith in the
liberal arts education, and minds
disciplined by seeking the truth.

In pointing out the requirements
of a sound academic program, Mr.
Posey urged two years study in
practically all the major fields,
with specialization as the best
means of securing liberal educa-
tion. Knowledge is so vast today,
he said, that acquaintance with
every portion of it is impractica-
ble.

Speaking of extra-curricular

activities, IMr. Posey stressed
that "by definition, a college is
a place for the training of the
mind; it is not primarily a
Church, health clinic, nor social
club . . . the distinctive task of
college is intellectual."
The most useful contribution a
college can make is the sending
out of students equipped with
tools and implements, he stated.
"The exercise of the mind is a
painful experience, requiring an
objective.

"The student should come out of
college not with something she is
taught but something she can
use."

The chief way by which intellec-
tual life becomes satisfying and
valuable is the independence of
thinking which can be developed
in college. The education, he ad-
ded, is not an achievement, but a
process; not the end of the jour-
ney but the road upon which to

Galley Slave

Alice Beardsley

The post-war world is disap-
pointing. We weep bitter tears. We
lament loudly. No more can we,
the feminine sex, enjoy the fas-
cinating experience of scenting
and tracking down male people.
We can exult no longer in the ex-
citement of perpetual "Sadie Haw-
kins Days". An era is passing.
Men are again becoming bold.

As a slave of the galleys, I feel
it necessary to inform you that
even the halls of our hallowed
sanctuary have been invaded by
these male people. With a great
deal of feeling, therefore, I offer
you this evidence of masculine au-
dacity found at the bottom of
some poor child's newspaper in the

Polly Harris has what some
people call "that certain some-
thing". Most people have to ride
home from a concert in profound
silence. The roommate either in-
sists on singing "Roll Out the Bar-
rel" in a flat-sharp combination or
is inspired to say nothing at all.
Most people, however, would like
to say something . . . just to be
gracious. Well, Polly Harris is dif-
ferent. Polly is sleepy. She doesn't
want to say anything. She tries to
sleep. Polly sleeps. Suddenly she
is awakened by a knock-knock on
the shoulder and an elderly mas-
culine voice says,

"Pardon me, but I just wonder-
ed if you would like to talk to
someone. I saw you were sitting
all alone and I didn't want you to
be lonesome. You know, I always
like to talk to someone when I'm
traveling so I'd be glad to talk to
you if you're lonesome."

"Well," says Polly, "I tell you,
sir, I'm just so sleepy I don't think
I could talk to you at all. But I
sure do thank you, sir, I sure do."

Comment overheard: "Well,
Polly Harris has that 'certain
somethin' which some people got
and some people just ain't got."

Lochner Says

Discard War's Hate;
Help Germany Live

By Harriet Gregory

A change from a punitive to a curative, from a negative to
a positive policy was Louis P. Lochner's answer to the
question "What About Germany Now?" in his lecture here
Friday night.

Mr. Lochner advocated a civil administration of Germany
separate from the occupation '

forces, the establishment of the
normal American procedures for
justice, the carrying out of the
Potsdam pledge for economic un-
ification of Germany, and the es
tablishment of a model democracy
in our zone as an effective means
of resisting Communism.

An audience of about 950 heard
Mr. Lochner, recently returned
from Berlin where he was chief
of the A. P., discuss the fallacies
of our present policy toward
Germany.

When Germany's collapse left the
four occupying powers with com-
plete responsibility for Germany
Mr. Lochner said "We made a
great psychological mistake.

"We could have come as de-
liverers. We came as conquerers.
We shall have to occupy Germany
many years to pay for that mis
take."

The "attitude of hate", which,
he said, "should have ended with
the war" has been indoctrinated
in the army along with a vast
technical knowledge of how to
combat sabotage.

More necessary, the newsman
declared, is an understanding of
the psychology of the people and
a "forebearance for a Germany
struggling for democracy."

Our de-Nazification policy does
not allow, he said, for that "de-
cent element" in Germany which
"suffered ignominy, concentra-
tion camps, even death" to re-
sist Nazism. He declared our pre-
sent system of de-Nazification too
rigid as it defeats its own pur-
pose by going too far down the
political scale and driving petty-
officials to Nazism or to Com-
munism.

In an interview before the lec-
ture Mr. Lochner said, "Writing
must be in my blood. A lot of
my family have been writers of
different sorts."

"A period of great interest" in
his life was the five months in 1942
during which he was a "guest"'
of the German government.

With 137 other government of-
ficials and correspondents who
were the last Americans to leave
Germany, he was interned in a
hotel which gave him the oppor-
tunity to see "a magnicifent ex-
hiibtion of American democracy at
work."

The internees organized a
school, read Shakespeare, present-
ed entertainments, ran a circulat-
ing library, and lived together five
months without a single quarrel.

Mr. Lochner returned to Ger-
many on Jan. 30, 1944, the anni-
versary of the day on which Hit-
ler came into power.

Your Right
To Say It

To the Editor:

And through you to the entire
student body the whole MacGre-
gor clan says an humble "thank
you" for your sweet editorial in
the Nov. 20th News! It really
makes our leaving much, much
easier to know that we shall be
missed.

We have liked it here, and we-
have loved being associated with
you girls. You've been so sweet to
our children and I know they shall
miss you even more than we be-
cause they knew you better.
You've made a permanent impres-
sion on them which I hope will
help them to grow into the grand
people you are.

We've always enjoyed your pa-
per and shall missit as well as
you when we go to Muhlenberg.
You know, we're going to a boys'
college so come on up to see us
it should be fun!
Thanks again for everything.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth MacGregor.
P. S. We really should have
stayed through June to graduate
with our class, but couldn't.

Practical Science, Research
For Real Results Bronk

The "necessity for scientific ex-
ploration carried out freely by
men of curiosity" is the hope for
lasting and real achievements,
summarized Detlev W. Bronk,
speaking to a filled auditorium
Monday night.

Chairman of the National re-
search council and professor of
bio-chemistry at the University of
Pennsylvania, Dr. Bronk stressed
the need for research as well as
practical science in the utilization
of science, on which our national
existence depends.

From the desire to satisfy hu-
man curiosity comes the benefits
of understanding the forces of
nature and the subsequent direct-
ion of these forces, he said.

But the "physical advantages
and benefits are secondary to the
spiritual benefits" such as the
overcoming of ignorance and pre-
judice.

One of the problems of today
is that of creating more scientific-

Journalism Talks
In Career Series

Eleanor Hutchens, Agnes Scott,
'40 and Mrs. Charles H. Williams
will be guest speakers on the
alumnae vocational guidance pro-
gram here Thursday. They will
discuss the fields of journalism
and public writing in Murphey
Candler at 4 p. m.

Editor of the national Mortar
Board quarterly, Miss Hutchens
was editor of the Agnes Scott
News, a member of Mortar Board,
and of Eta Sigma Phi and was
publicity director for the school
when she was a student. She is on
the national council of Mortar
Board and has been on the editor-
ial staff of the Huntsville Times
of Huntsville, Ala. She has also
served as news editor of the De-
Kalb New Era.

Mrs. Williams was in the ad-
vertising department of Rich's for
three years and has been with
Davison's for approximately 15
years as fashion copywriter,
assistant advertising manager and
advertising manager. She has
presented several advertising skits
over WSB.

Students interested in news-
paper, advertising, public rela-
tions, radio or similar fields are
invited to hear the discussions.
There will be informal questions
and answers afterwards.

Fire hasn't much chance at
Agnes Scott practically every
part of the campus is equipped
to make a fire engine as super-
fluous as ash trays in the library,
it seems after fire inspection dur-
ing the holidays.

Checking all the buildings for
faulty fire protection, A. B. Wil-
liams, of an Atlanta architecture
firm found the fire extinguishers,
most of the fire escapes, and the
sprinkler system in good condition
and the buildings themselves ade-
quately fireproof.

He considered the kitchen,
where several small fires have oc-
curred this year, the greatest fire
hazard on campus, and recom-
mended that fire doors be install-
ed leading into the kitchen and in-
to the elevator.

The cottages' report card was
not so good. Dismissing White
House as beyond hope as far as
fire protection was concerned,
the inspector said tne other cot-
tages were in as good condition
as possible for "temporary" build-
ings.

P. G. Rogers, assistant business
manage r-treasurer, announced
that many of the recommenda-
tions have already been carried
out.

The Decatur fire chief and two
assitants, who have also inspected
the buildings, have not yet sub-
mitted a report.

Counselling toward successful marriage and good family
living, Dr. Grace Sloan Overton, author and lecturer, will
be on campus next week to conduct a series of conferences
and programs.

Titling her talks, "Orientation to life", Dr. Overton, a

grandmother, will discuss prob-
lems of sex, love, marriage and
parenthood.

Her first program is scheduled
for Sunday night at the regular
vesper service time, 6:30 in Mac-
Lean.

workers. In an interview after the
lecture Dr. Bronk discussed the
many openings for college women
now in various fields of combined
sciences. In such fields as biology-
chemistry, psychology-b i o 1 o g y,
and biology and the social scien-
ces, women have great opportun-
ities for serious research work.

Dr. Bronk continued saying
that the best possible basis for
such a program of combined
scientific research, is a broad lib-
eral arts background in many
fields before specialization.

The "explosion of the atom
bomb has thrown peoples and
nations into an awareness of
science," he continued. "Science
can become an instrument of
slavery rather than a means of
freedom," unless we use the "op-
portunity to acquire by peaceful
means those advantages futilely
sought by war."

Ending with an optimistic an-
alogy Dr. Bronk described leav-
ing a British airport at sunset
and rising into the air to see the
sun again. "The sun came up
through the instrumentality of a
product of science."

'Friars Pick
'Kind Lady

"Kind Lady" by Edward Chod-
orov will be Blackfriars' winter
production, according to an an-
| nouncement this week by Miss
Roberta Winter, director.

The play, adapted from a story
by Hugh Walpole, is to be present-
ed Feb. 27 in Gaines auditorium,
with tentative plans for a second
showing Feb. 28.

Plot of the play centers around
a kind lady's act to a handsome
beggar. When Mary Herries in-
vites Henry Abbott into her home
for a cup of coffee she can't know
what unexpected results will oc-
cur. Henry invites his family in
and from there on the stage is
filled with characters whom even
psychologists would term "odd."

Kept virtually a prisoner in her
own home, Mary must solve the
problem Of ridding herself of her
unwanted guests before they de-
stroy her life and absorb her
wealth.

Casting for the play will be com-
pleted today and first reading by
cast members will take place at
Blackfriars' meeting tomorrow
night at 7:30.

Committee To
Discuss Ballot

Nominating committee mem-
bers will meet tomorrow after-
noon at 5 to hear several pro-
posals affecting the ballot for
spring elections. The meeting will
be in the Exec room.

Mortar Board has suggested
that the chairman of Social Stan-
dards committee, formerly ap-
pointed by Mortar Board, be ad-
ded to the ballot. Other suggest-
ions include the removal of the
treasurer of Lecture association
from the ballot, making it ap-
pointive; and a shake-up in the
order of electing junior officers
and the senior day student re-
presentative on the executive com-
mittee of Student Government.

The nominating committee,
composed of holders of major
campups offices, has final author-
ity in the composition and order
of the ballot.

Dr. Overton comes here on a
tour of Georgia colleges. She will
speak at least once each day, giv-
ing personal and group counsel
about the problems of marriage
and family. There will be extend-
ed chapel periods on Tuesday and
Wednesday for Dr. Overton's
talks. On Monday she will speak
to the sociology class at 11 a. m.
in MacLean.

Her daily conferences and talks
will be posted on the bulletin
board each morning.

"Love, Marriage and Parent-
hood", "Marriage in War and
Peace" and "Girlhood to Woman-
hood" are among the titles Dr.
Overton's eight books. She also
contributes to a number of per-
iodicals articles on the problems
of youth and family life. "This
Business of Living" is syndicated
column for young people which
she writes. She has held a num-
ber of positions with colleges and

Spurred on by the tightening
of the European food situation
created by the end of UNRRA,
World service council and Fresh-
man Cabinet will sponsor a week-
long food drive beginning Monday.

Boxes will be placed for con-
tributions in each dormitory for
boarders, in the mail room for the

rooms.

All food must be packed so as
to be imperishable.

Conference Talks Stress
College Leadership Role

A second Intra-Campus Leader-
ship conference, featuring talks
by President J. R. McCavii and
Miss Carrie Scandrett, dean, met
Jan. 4 in MacLean.

Conferees were officers on stu-
dent government, Christian asso-
ciation, and Athletic association,
members of Mortar Board and
Representative council, and the
News staff.

Jane Meadows, student govern-
ment president, explained the
purpose of the conference three-

Dr. J. R. McCain spoke to the
conferees who, he said, were
rorming "one of our best tradi-
tions", that of the meeting toget-
her of various groups for a bet-
ter understanding of campus pro-
blems.

"One of the glories of the col-
lege", he said, is that there is no
"closed shop" so that any girl
can seek any place on campus and
that leadership comes more from
serving than from seeking.

Miss Scandrett stressed the fact
that every organization should
train good citizens since she be-
lieves that girls come to Agnes
Scott with the idea of making a
contribution to the community.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, WED. JAN. 15, 1947

Social-Lites

By Mary Brown Mahon

Christmas was wonderful, but it seems that after regret-
fully dragging it back to school, the social life of Agnes
Scotters hasn't been too much of a let-down.

Friday night the Emory Chi Phi's had a get-together and
girls from here were Mim Steele. Mimi Arnold, Kate Ellis,
Xatherine Davis, Mary Fran-
ces Anderson, Sissy Jeffries,
Punky Mattison, Mildred Claire
Jones, and Nina Owens.

The same night June Thoma-
son, Sweetie Calley, Mary Gene
Sims, Lou McLaurin, Helen
Christian, Weesie Durant, Johan-
na Richardson, Mary Jo Amnions,
and Steve Page enjoyed the Em-
ory SAE function. The Pi Kappa
Phi's, ATO's and Sigma Chi's at
Emory also entertained Friday
night.

The Sigma Chi's had a fair, ac-
cording to Elizabeth Williams and
Genet Heery; Lynn Phillips and
June Davis went to the Pi Kappa
Phi party, and enjoying the ATO
dance were Mary Manly, Nancy
Deal, June Irvine, Gene Goode,
and Lida Walker. By the way,
Mary Manly is the new ATO spon-
sor at Emory. We want to con-
gratulate her, and to congratulate
the ATO's in their taste!

Saturday night Steele Dendy
and Helen Christian went to the
Beta party at Tech; Dot Floyd,
Lou McLaurin, Nancy Geer, Bet-
:-y Deal, Steve Page, Ann Faucet-
te, and Splinter Board had a fine
time at the Phi Delt house at Em-
ory; Beth Walton, Betty Black-
mon, Jean Tollison, Jean Fraser
and Mary Humphries all enjoyed
the Chi Phi party at Tech.

Rush parties were at the Sig-
ma Chi house at Tech, with Billie
Powell, Bobbie Cathcart, Bunny
Brannan, Mary Frances Anderson,
Betty Turner, and Dale Bennett
attending, the KA house with
Poochie Gehrkin enjoying it, and at
the ATO house at Tech were Easy
Beale, Shorty Lehmann, Betty
Beddingfield, and Dot Porter.

Play By Play

By Lidie Lee

A new quarter has opened in athletics, and as we rush to meet the
deadline for the first sports column in 1947 it's time to take a quick
survey of the gym to see what plans are being made for the new year.

After Christmas holidays, when the most muscles we stretched
were in our jaw (yawning, you know, as we dashed out of bed like
a herd of turtles at 11 or 12 a.m.) it will take a little conditioning
to get back into top form and don't think the physical ed depart-
ment hasn't thought of that. Miss Ames, who spent the holiday
learning to ski and ice skate in the North, is in only too fit condition
we moan grimly as aching muscles respond to vigorous exercising.
BASKETBALL IS TOPS

Basketball claims top attention on the calendar with wild specu-
lation about this year's top team. Class teams report large numbers
of eager players out for the sport. All we need now is a large num-
ber of spectators to make the season a succfess. If school spirit can't
got you out there rooting, excellent playing should. Many of this
year's players were on all-star or state teams during high school.
On the calendar too is the badminton doubles tournament which
started Monday and the singles tourney scheduled to open Jan. 27.
Beginners will get excellent competition from expert combinations
like Craig and Gilchrist, '46 champs, and Kemper and Andrews.
Horseback riding, a feature on the fall schedule, is absent this
quarter. Horses will be back in the spring but until then Outing
club is making plans to keep members interested in walks and trails.
SWIMMERS PLAN MEET

Swimming club will be active too with a meet scheduled for Feb. 3.
Swimmers like Cookie Miller and Bunny Brannon should show top
form after lessons by Ed Shea of Emory, whose swimmers came out
on top in the Southeastern A. A. U. meet at Birmingham Saturday.
Dancing on the gym calendar includes natural and modern dance
classes. The Ballet group will present "Giselle" Feb. 15 in Presser.
The corps de ballet, composed of approximately 20 members, will
be assisted by members of Blackfriars' in dramatic parts and by
male dancers from Atlanta. #

Campus dancers got a slant on the inside of the profession Sat-
urday from members of the-^Ballet Russe. Miss Eugenie Dozier, Dale
Bennett, Dolly Cave, and Mynelle Grove, played hostess on campus
to members of the ballett and then attended rehearsal at the audi-
torium in Atlanta. No supper and drenching rain were forgotten as
they watched Frederick Franklin, prime minister of the ballet, train
the corps. The girls got a lesson in pronunciation from Russian
members of the group who solemnly informed them that their pro-
duction should always be pronounced "Jee-selle." Remember that you
lowbrows if you're tempted to say "Ga-selle."

Badminton Doubles
Smash Into Action

Badminton doubles tournament
began this week with 24 couples
signed up to compete in the open-
ing matches. First rounds must
be played off by Saturday, accord-
ing to Manager Ginny Andrews.

Included in the list of contest-
ants are Mac Craig and Carolyn
Gilchrist, last year's doubles
champions, and Ginny Andrews
and Claire Kemper, runners up.

Matches may be played off dur-
ing class periods or on Tuesday
and Thursday from 2 to 4 p. m.

Singles tournament will begin
Jan. 27. Players may sign up for
the matches from J.an. 13 to 20 in
the gym.

Fall Awards
Announced In
A.A. Chapel

coming quarter. Big doings were
forecast for basketball, swimming
badminton, and Outing club.

Fraser Wins Stick

stick in 1944, made the award.

The tennis cup was presented
to Betty Andrews and Ann Hough,
winners of the tennis doubles
tournament, and the hockey
championship plaque went to the
driving sophomore team.

Varsity Chosen

ing 1600 points in sports, went to
Helen Currie, B. J. Radford, Jean
Fraser and E. Claire Cunningham.

For Cage Season

Sophs Prepare To Defend Title
Against Strong Competition

By Lorton Lee

With three more days to go before opening games in the
1947 basketball season Agnes Scott fans are weighing team
merits as they look forward to one of their best seasons.

The same competent sophomore team which won the
championship cup- last year prepares to defend its title
against attacks from determined

freshmen, juniors and seniors.
Large Practice Turnouts

All classes this year have had
a large turnout for early pract-
ices with frosh, sophs and juniors
averaging about 30 players each.
Seniors have 16, but they have
all of their first string players
back with the exception of Jean
Denning Bodin. Hough, Andrews
and Heery, forwards, and Liddell
and Radford, guards, are back
with B. J. Radford as manager.

Forwards Humphries, Dieck-
mann, and Sister Davis and
guards Anne Hayes and E. Claire
Cunningham will be playing on
the junior team again. Loss of
one player, Betzie Powers, is made
up for by gain of newcomers,

ior manager, have played toget-

EDITORIALS

Educator of the Year

Not once but twice!

The announcement of the unanimous election of Mrs. Cat-
herine Sims, associate professor of history, as Atlanta's wo-
man of the year in education, makes us doubly proud and
pleased. We are delighted that one of our campus favorites
should be publicly honored; we are delighted again that two
of the winners in the last three years have been Agnes Scott
faculty members, since Miss MacDougall, head of the biol-
ogy department, was chosen two years ago.

The committee which selected Mrs. Sims as one of At-
lanta's six women of the year cited her work with the At-
lanta Book Fair, ability as a public speaker, and her "brains,
unspoiled charm, beauty, character, and personality."

Agnes Scott students can agree with the committee. We
are familiar with Mrs. Sims' challenging and clear-cut class
lectures as well as her interest and invaluable aid in bring-
ing international and national affairs into our "campused"
lives.

We feel that the honor of woman of the year in education
is no more than her due.

Quarters Challenge

We couldn't have gotten a better shove off the green banks
of Christmas into the icy waters of winter quarter than came
from the Leadership Conference Jan. 4.

In the first place, the lack of heated discussion showed
that, disappointing though it may be, the students are not
aroused over any issue; no real dissension showed itself,
even after a little excavation above and beyond the call of
duty. If the 50 girls at the meeting expressed student opinion,
we go into winter quarter content with things as they are.

Now we can settle down.

The conference also pointed up the fact that this is the
crucial quarter for activities. Looking toward elections, of-
ficers will be putting forth their final and best efforts to
leave their organiztion a lettle better than they found it;
at the same time, next year's possible leaders in big and little
clubs will be in the back of most minds.

This is the time for leaders to begin doing what comes
hard to most begin to step down. A good leader sees her-
self as a link in a long chain of leaders of that group; she
does not assume all the responsibility or do all the thinking,
because she knows that to find and encourage potential
leaders is most important of all.

During this quarter, especially, the heads of all our organ-
izations should come nearer the ideal of real, democratic
leadership with a little *T\ If this is true, no girl at Agnes
Scott will be overlooked when election time comes in March.

Squirrel Tribe Bites Wire
Frosh Calls Sabotaged

By Lou McLaurin

Stealthily ho crept along the
roof, twitching his head from side
to side with nervous little jerks.
Every nerve in his body was key-
ed to intercept the slightest
sound.

Abruptly he stopped, spotting
his objective. This was too good.
He had had his orders to do the
enemy damage, but to have this
way of paralysing their entire
force with one stroke was too
much. For a moment he reeled in
delightful anticipation of the glory
that would be his.

He gathered himself for the
task, flexed his lean muscles, and
sailed gracefully throug the air,
landing upon his target. In a few

minutes, mission accomplished

Result: squirrels kept the lines
busy during Christmas, and tele-
phone connections to Inman were
temporarily cut last week.

All wires on the campus except
Inman's are laid underground.
Since that wire had a double lay-
er of insulation, it was thought to
be safe until the campus four-
footed populatiom improved the
shining (holiday) hour.

Workers quickly repaired the
line and plans were being made
this week for putting it under-
ground. Another chapter in the
eternal struggle between civiliza-
tion and the law of tooth and
claw!

Speech is an important part of
every student's vocabulary. No
one should be without it. With
this principle in view there has
been inaugurated in our fair com-
munity a "The Fashion in Speech"
week during which time tags were
given out for acceptable speech.
Several people in each class went
around listening to people talk
and tagging them if certain stand-
ards were passed.

Now these tags were sought af-
ter. People talked as never be-
fore. The president of Student
Government, for instance, got all
the way through her speech
Thursday in chapel with perfect
ease, but she slipped up on one
word which spoiled her chances.
The word was "libery", normally
spelled "library."

People stood in conspicuous
places and talked conspicuously.
One day I saw Angela Parding-
ton, who was a tag giver-outer,
talking to Charlsie Smith. Angela
was going to chapel but Charlsie
had decided against it. "Charlsie,"
Angela asked, "aren't you going
to chapel?" "No," was the an-
swer, "Ah want one of those
speech tags 'n ah figure if ah
stand 'n wait out heah someone'Jl
come 'n give me one." Angela
smiled satanically, said "Maybe
so" and left for chapel.

Conversation at the breakfast
table centered around Jimmy
Byrnes' resignation, but was dis-
continued momentarily as more
girls joined the group. The sub-
ject was then continued. "Yes, it
sure is too bad Byrnes resigned."
Jean Harper looked up amazed,
"Oh no! When's she gonna leave?"

And then there's the story about
the freshman on the third floor
Inman who got a letter from her
boy friend in which he intended to
call her an "angel" but slipped up
and got "angle."

There was a discussion in exec
meeting Monday evening on seat-
ed meals and the advisability of
changing or not chaging the mem-
bership of the tables. Each exec
member gave the president her
opinion until it came Angie An-
derson's turn. (Angie was visit-
ing exec that night.)

Angie stood up slowly and
found herself gazing into the
stern countenance of the presi-
dent who always ruled at the
head of the table where Angie
sat. The young girl Angie, that
is trembled perceptibly and
through her mind flashed the
whole panaroma of her short life
on earth. But wait a solution
was in sight. She raised her head
high then, and told the whole
gathering, "I don't feel qualified
to say anything."

Louisa Aichel was really dress-
ed up the other day and as she
left the dining room a freshman
gaped and asked with awe, "Who's
that woman?" The answer came
forth, "That's no woman, that's
a senior!"

I have long been a victim of
Mrs. Smith's humor. For four
years I have been a victim. Last
week she came to see me in Main
and left this chatty little note:

Are you starting the new year
out right ? You haven't much long-
er with us, Seniors! Improve!!!

Your Right to Say It

Stingy Lecture Goers?

To the Editor:

To-night I found what was the
opposite to a liberal education: a
stingy education.

I would have gladly bashed in
the haids of the stingy education
people who duly appeared, duly-
stockinged, and sat through the
lecture given by one of America's
foremost scientists.

Most of the people who went
were liberal education people who
listened attentively and learned
something helpful about t h e
scientific attitude, something in-
teresting about the scientific ap-
proach. Others w T ho went were
unable to learn much because of
the stingy education girls who
sat near them, in the back of the
auditorium, and showed they
were stingy education people who
cared more about Tuesday's les-
sons than about the role of science
in national and international af-
fairs.

The way to tell a stingy edu-
cation girl from a liberal edu-
cation girl, is if she

1. Plays idly with her hair and
stares off into one space or an-
other, punctuating the air with
a long, wide, loud yawn once dur-
ing tbe evening, or

2. Writes busily and scratchily
on a piece of paper and then
noisily erases it, not once but
twice, or

3. Whispers more than a few
words, more than a few times, to
her neighbors, or

4. Openly opens her textbook
and studies a lesson, tires of that
lesson and opens another text-
book, or

5. Tiring of study, takes out
her wallet and shows her fresh-
man friends, down the row, a
goodly collection of snapshots.

If she does some or all of these
things, she is likely to adhere to

Copy Hook

Just to be different, or some-
thing, Clarkie Rogers has decided
the fashion is not to speak at all.
A throat complication has surely
complicated her life. It's not the
refraining from chatter, scribbling
notes, or writing class questions
that bothers her, she reports. It's
the way people unconciously eith-
er write back, or yell!

Loss of Club Money

(Ed. note: Feeling any signifi-
cant comment needed to come
from those who know, we asked
Jane Meadows, president of Stu-
Government, to explain the opera-
tion of personal responsibility for
organization money.)
To the Editor:

In answer to the discussion
raised during the leadership con-
ference, I would like to clarify
the difference between individual
and organizational responsibility
for the loss of money. If an in-
dividual has . an organization's
money in her hands for a parti-
cular purpose and the money is
lost through carelessness, the in-
dividual is responsible. She has
personal possession of the money
and is personally liable for it.

However, if an organization,
through underestimation of a
yearly budget, exceeds its budget-
ary allotment, the organization is
I held responsible for any debt. A
loan might be obtained through
student budget, but the organi-
zation as a whole bears the bur-
den of making up a loss. In this
instance the responsibility lies
upon the members of an organ-
ization, since no definite indivi-
dual has incurred the debt.

I hope that this will help clairfy
the question.

Student Government.

a stingy education: I saw fresh-
men doing all these and more to-
night. They'd been given cuts, no
doubt, to go to the lecture. I
heartily wished, if they were not
interested, they had stayed away.
I wondered when they would
wake up to the fact that Tues-
day's lessons, important as they
were, were less important than
what they could get if they listen-
ed to that eminent scientist on
the platform.

As an Agnes Scotter I believe
in liberal education. I won't be
surprised, on the Day of Judge-
ment, to find the stingy educa-
tion people sitting, rolling up their ,
knitting yarn, through Gabriel's
horn concert.

Bet Patterson

This is not composed from
emotion recollected in tranquillity.
It is the spontaneous overflow of
powerful feeling.

Proprietors of the Decatur Cake
Box were probably wondering
about Agnes Scott's dining hall
or the campus plaid, as hoardes
of hungry students descended like
locusts for free coffee and donuts
at the bakery's reopening Satur-
day.

The gym has become a "laugh-
ing place" to many neophyte
dancers. One ballerina says her
diaphragm always aches more
from laughing at her graceless
flittering than her feet do from
the effort.

Then there was the senior who
paddled out of the dining room in
a huff, complaining that she saw
"crabs floating in the oyster
stew!"

Woman's edifying influence: An J
Emory professor breezes in, and
rubbing his hands jovilly says, I
"Another Monday morning
which reminds me of a joke."
Suddenly his face falls; he says
disa pointedly, "But Miss Meadows
is here."

Have you looked well at Dr.
Burn's office door? There is no
sign that says, "Abandon hope all
ye who enter here." A visit lo
her office in the gym is no guar-
antee of a short purgatory in
the infirmary. On the contrary it
may mean you can go to that

Protect your dormitory by

Radio broadcasts direct from
Agnes Scott's Presser hall with-

possibility this week, pending con-
sideration of. a proposal by E. D.
Rivers, Jr., that Agnes Scott and
Emory co-operate in his estab-
lishment of a radio station in De-
catur.

President J. R. McCain Saturday
scotched rumors, arising out of
stories last week in the Atlanta
press, that the two institutions
had agreed to join Rivers, explain-
ing that final decision was pend-
mg Rivers' submitting of his idea
in writting.

The son of the ex-govemor of
Georgia, already operator of radio
stations in Cordele and Valdosta,
has been assigned a wave-length

catur.

Dr. McCain said Saturday that
Rivers had proposed verbally to
him Jan. 13 that a line be run

Dr. Overton Offers Formula
For Successful Person

Accepting one's humanity, one's
self, one's sex, one's relations with
other people, and seeing the "go-
ing on-ness of life" is Dr. Grace
Sloan Overton's formula for being
a good human being.

In the opening talk Sunday in
her "Orientation to Life" series,
Dr. Overton, lecturer and author
of eight books, explained that if
one knows, accepts, and loves him-
self, loving other people will fol-
low.

She pointed out that "people
must confess their humanity and
potentialities for good and evil and
not apologize for them. They must
realize that perfection is unattain-
able."

Protesting Herman

By Virginia Drake

Campus opinion last week seem-
ed to line up almost unanimously
behind the Arnall-Thompson stand

in Georgia's seven-day-old guber-
natorial dispute.

About 50 Agnes Scott students
participated in yesterday after-
noon's march on the capitoi. An-
nelle Cox, freshman day student,
was a member of the group of col- j
legians which drew up the recom-
mendations presented at the meet-
ing.

Mrs^ Roff Sims, assistant profes-
sor of history and political science,
Miss Mildred Mell, professor of
economics and sociology, and Pres-
ident J. R. McCain were among
the Atlantians who called the mass
meeting held last night in the aud-
itorium of the Woman's club to
plead for constitutional rule.

While neither the college nor the

garet McManus.

Runner-up will be maid of hon-

Cast Named
For 'Kind Lady'

Jean Estes and Pat McManmon
will play leading roles in a double
cast for "Kind Lady" by Edward
Chodorov, Blackfriars' winter pro-
duction slated to play in Presser
auditorium Thursday and Friday,
Feb. 27 and 28.

Both girls will play the title role
as Mary Herries. Other women's
parts also will be double cast.

Plot of the story centers around
Mary's kindness to a handsome
beggar, Henry Abbott, played by
Henry Stanbaugh, announcer for
WAGA. Mary invites Henry in
for a cup of coffee only to find that
he has come to stay. Bringing his
demented wife, Ada, played on al-
ternate nights by Polly Miles and
Alice Beardsley, and a borrowed
baby, he moves in and takes over
the household. On his heels come
a horde of crooked friends and rel-
atives.

Mrs. Edwards, played by Caro-
lyn Gilchrist and Helen Currie,
soon takes over as housekeeper in
Miss Herries' home, bringing her
daughter, Aggie, a weird little
pickpocket, portrayed by Marga-
ret McManus and Lidie Lee.

Atom Expert
To Discuss
Bikini Test

John Howe Yoe, professor of
chemistry at the University of
Virginia, will lecture on the atom-
ic bomb and the results of the
Bikini tests at Agnes Scott, Tues-
day, Jan. 28, at 8 p. m. in Mac-
Lean sponsored by Chi Beta Phi.

Dr. Yoe was one of the 21
American scientists invited to ob-
serve the atomic bomb tests in
July, 1946 on Bikini Atoll. At this
time Dr. Yoe acted as chairman
during the technical meetings on
board the ship, U. S. S. Panamint,
and arranged a series of talks by
the American and foreign scient-
ists present.

The Bikini bombs were the
first to be exploded over and un-
der the water, and thus this ex-
periment, gave much needed and
valuable information to the Army
and Navy departments, said Dr.
Yoe. It was found that the under-
water, or "Baker" bomb produc-
ed much greater damage rthan
the abovewater, or "Able" bomb
both in actual descructive power
and in radioactivity.

The combined facts obtained
from the Bikini tests and the land
explosions have shown the Army
and Navy departments much about
the relative power of each of the
blasts.

man of Social standards committee

Arnall, Talmadge,
In Two Act

by Joanne Benton
anrf Dale Bennett

A good portion of "the people
of Georgia" you hear so much
about were afe the state capitoi
Thursday afterooon when Georgia
was topping the headlines of the
nation.

Some of these people were
lining the walls of the rotunda
around the enclosure with the
desk labeled "Gov. Arnall" in two
places. Some stood closepacked
on a carpet of cigaret butts in the
ante room of the office of Govern-
or Talmadge.

People talked in small groups
in the ante-room to the governor's
office. The richly decorated dark
room quieted the voices of the
farmers who had left their plows
to back up Herman. The man in
the old leather jacket shifted his
weight on the molding he leaned
against and scowled darkly as
each newcomer entered the room.
The uniformed men moved
around, ending always near the
door to "the" office.

People Top Cast
Drama Last Week

State and national flags were
shoved into one corner of the
room neglected. Radio equipment
banked another side, looking
queerly out of place in the stately
paneled room. Smoke filled the
air; eyes were still stinging from
a tear gas bomb which had gone
off an hour before.

Men Of Purpose

The men just sat around. But
they were there for a purpose.
Some had backed Eugene for
years. Others thought Herman de-
served the office because of his
name. They were determined he
would hold his ground. They wait-
ed.

A delivery boy pushed his way
through the crowd carrying a vase
of red and white carnations. The
well dressed lady who had been
saying "Governor Talmadge's of-
fice" into a phone reached for
them, beaming. She faded when
she saw the card and pointed to
the Arnall camp: "Those go out
in the hall."

Herman's lieutenants and a

battery of lawyers were going in
and out of the inner sanctum of
his office, the massive door bank-
ed with flags. A little man in a
dark suit with thick lenses open-
ed the door just a crack at each
knock, showing a flash of his
steel-rimed glasses. If the knock-
er were a friend, the fat man
with no tie, or one of the bustling
uniformed men, the door opened
briefly, then closed.

Crowd Starts Forward
But now the people started for-
ward. Herman was coming out
to reassure them. The door open-
ed: no trumpets but a parade,
headed by a dark haired, nicely-
dressed man, pleasant, mild man-
nered, almost timid Herman
Talmadge. He shook hands with
the people; as he passed eyes fol-
lowed him worshipfully. His men
backed him up, urged him around
the circle of people to the mo-
hagany desk, spread a paper for
him so stand on. Herman climb-

Alumnae Call

BA The Key
To Careers

Liberal arts education is the
open sesame to careers in either
journalism in advertising, accord
ing to two alumnae high in the
respective fields who spoke in
Murphey Candler Thursday.

Miss Eleanor Hutchens, assist-
ant editor of the Huntsville, Ala.
Times, explained that a general
background of history, English,
economics and sociology provide
the future journalist, with the
necessary ability to size up sit-
uations. Both Miss Hutchens and
Mrs. Williams, advertising mana-
ger at Davison's in Atlanta, con-
sidered the commercial schoof
graduate relatively handicapped.

Since editors are begging for
reporters. Miss Hutchens said,
pix)spects in the field are bright,
salaries reasonable, and oppor-
tunities for community service ex-
cellent.

Emphasizing an English major,
a love of people, a desire to play
with words and an iron constitu-
tion as well as boundless enthu-
siasm, Mrs. Williams predicted
almost certain jobs to anyone who
should step into her office.

First Official Swim Meet
Scheduled For February 3

The first official intramural swimming meet, emphasizing
speed as well as form, is on the slate for Monday, Feb. 3, at
8:30 p. m.. Swimming Manager Cookie Miller announced last
week.

In past years stress has been put on form alone because
experts felt that Agnes Scott girls
would not have as much use for

speed after college. However, the
1947 meet will be based on the
standard professional meets of
the day, and will feature such
events as the 40-yard dash, a test
of form including tandems and
surface dives, a relay race using
the butterfly breast, back crawl,
and front crawl, and two classes
of dives, intermediate and advanc-
ed.

Some of the more difficult dives
which will be attempted by Cook-
it- Miller and Junior Manager Em-
ily Wright will be the one and a
half sumersault, and full gainer.

There will also be a comic fea-
ture by the contestants at the end
of the program.

Managers Shape Teams

Managers of each of the class
teams are working vigorously
with their swimmers to get them
in shape for the aquatic contest
which will count points toward the
athletic cup for the winning class.

Charlotte Evans, Vho has qual-
ified and will become an official
member of the Swimming club
spring quarter, is the freshmen
manager and is supported by such
able swimmers as Beryl Crews
and Jane Sharkey who has also
qualified for Swimming club.

The sophomores too, have come
out with energy. Under Manager
Betty Blackmon they have had

two practices. Experts say that
they have some nice form swim-
mers and for speed will count on
experienced swimmers like Bunny
Brannon.

Juniors in Trim
The juniors, who won last
year's meet, have many of the
same swimmers this year: Wren,
Barker, Margaret Yancey, and
Marian Yancey besides junior
transfer Emily Wright.

Topping the list of senior swim-
mers are Manager Beth Walton
and Cookie Miller. Members of
any of the classes are eligible to
try out for the class teams. The
swimmer entered in each event
will be picked by the class mana-
ger.

Juniors Win
Attendance Race

Juniors came out high percen-
tage scorers in the attendance
race for points toward the stu-
dent Government cup at the open-
ing basketball games Friday night.

With 41 per cent of their class
members present, they topped riv-
al sophomores who had a 33 per
cent rating.

Freshman with 53 present total-
ed the largest number of class
members at the games. Student
Government however gives points
on the basis of percentage only.

attendance for the week.

Glee Club Elects

Twenty-one "undiscovered
voices of Agnes Scott" were dis-
covered, according to Millie Evans,
Glee club president, during try-
outs the week of Jan. 10-17.

should never be wholly dependent

"Good people accept the fact
that other people are necessary
and create good social situations."

Realizing that "life is never de-
termined by one experience", she
concluded that good people don't
quit when they are hurt.

In speaking to sociology stu-
dents Monday morning, Dr. Over-
ton emphasized the fact that
"marriage is inclusive of the whole
personality".

Divorce she saw as a result of a
failure to coordinate the psycho-
logical (individual happiness) and
the sociological (the contribution
of the family to others) aspects of
marriage.

She urged that girls have a con-
scious philosophy and mix natural-
ly with men.

Sophs Down Seniors,
Juniors Sink Frosh

By E. Claire Cunningham

Before a large, cheering crowd the sophs edged out the
seniors 32-27 and the juniors defeated the frosh 38-19 in Fri-
day's opening basketball games.

The decision that sister classes would play each other was
made by blindfolding the managers and letting them walk
about the court. The first two

WGST, he explained.

A similar proposal is understood
to have been made to Emory uni-
versity; however, President G. C.
White is out of town and has not
commented on the suggestion.

As soon as Rivers presents his
proposal in writing, Dr. McCain
said, it will be considered care-
fully. "Emory and Agnes Scott
will probably want to work toget-
her on it. he added. No cost to
either institution is involved.

Rivers wants the cooperation
of Agnes Scott and Emory, as
well as the public schools of De-
catur, in order that programs will
have a high listener-interest and
will attract high-caliber adver-
tising, Dr. McCain explained.

While it was too soon to give
a definite opinion, Dr. McCain
said he was "personally favorable
to whatever will develop Decatur,
if it is of a high order."

touching each other would be-
come opponents. Senior Radford
tagged Soph Reese Newton and
the die was cast.

Senior-Soph Thriller

The senior-soph game was a
fast, thrilling one from the be-
ginning. The teams were very
closely matched and the score re-
mained close throughout. The
soph guards were stumped by An-
drews' very long shots that al-
ways seemed to go in. However,
the running crip shot of B.
Brannon proved just as effective
for scoring. Radford was playing
a very good game of breaking up
passes until she was hurt in the
last period.

The seniors led at the half 15-
12. The sophs recovered the lead
soon after and the score was goal
for goal until the last. A final
rally by the sophs after Radford
was taken out with a head in-
jury secured the game for them
32-27.

Juniors Take Lead

Everyone was anxious to see
what sort of team the frosh would
produce, and Friday night it was
evident they had a team with lots
of possibilities. They were beaten
by a smoother, more experienced
junior team.

The juniors took an early lead

which they maintained through-
out the game. Humphries, shoot-
ing both long and short shots,
made high score for the juniors
while Warlick led the frosh with
10 of their 19 points. The jun-
ior guards played a very tight de-
fense and proved effective in
breaking up passes. C. Evans,
freshman guard, played a good
game, with her long jumps and
fast break-aways.

The juniors had unusually good
substitutes making almost two
teams of first-string players. The
score at the half was 20-9 and
the last period ended 38-19 for
the juniors.

EDITORIALS

Our Next President:
Why Not A Woman?

No longer do men rise gallantly to offer their seats to the
weaker sex on street cars. No longer do capes bridge the wet
corners where woman treads with heel-and toeless step.
Today we bring home our own bacon. Today we run fac-
tories and welding machines as easily as our grandmothers
pushed the baby carriage. Tomorrow we could be president
of Agnes Scott.

We have paid for our places under the sun, or to use the
modern idiom, behind the blow torch. We accept the stand-
ing streetcar rides with a weak smile. We wet our ankles on
each street corner, and because we have paid the price, we
see the results of our sacrifices.

Not only the factory boasts "us" today, however; at last
the opposite sex admits we have a little brain. From the re-
cent Secretary of Labor to outstanding women newspapepr
correspondents, even to college presidents, women are stand-
ing on their own feet and taking the lead. Wellesley and
Sweet Briar are among the outstanding women's colleges who
boast of such leaders.

Dr. McCain has four more years before his retirement. The
trustees must now be considering the difficult problem of
finding a successor who can only try to fill his place. We
sincerely hope that a woman will be considered for this
important position.

We can smile at the long street car rides as we stand; we
can hold important public offices. We would be proud of a
capable woman educator as president of our woman's college.

The Camelia Scandal

The camellia bushes under the old dining room windows
on the quadrangle didn't appear by accident. They cost the
college quite a bit of money. Hours of Miss Eugenia Symms'
personal care brought them to bloom last week.

They did not appear by accident they were planted to
last 20 years.

We very much hope that the fact that someone has broken
off all of the blooms since last week is an accident. Not only
have the blooms been removed for one person's pleasure
alone, the unknown thief has taken enough of the stem each
time to endanger the lives of the plants.

Let's all be guardians of these and all other shrubs and
trees on campus. They do not belong to one person, or to a
few they belong to all of us.

Bella Wilson works in the Dean's
office and lives in 315 Main. Most
people know these simple facts.
But some do not and it is with
these we are concerned.

Now these are the days in
which all young people except
seniors are looking for new rooms.
Let us say, for the sake of the
drama, that two freshmen are
looking for a room.

The scene opens in Main third
floor as the girls stand before
Room 315 and knock.

Frosh no. L Nobody answers.

Frosh no. 2. Maybe nobody's
there.

Frosh no. 1. Yeah, that's pro-
bably it. Nobody home. What'll
we do?

Frosh no. 2. Let's go in. People
in Inman wouldn't mind.

Frosh no. 1. All right. Let's go
in. Gee. this is sure a nice room.

Frosh no. 2. Gee whiz. Gee, we'll
have to have this room. It's just
out of this world. I'd never go
home to mother if I could live
here.

Frosh no. 1. Let's inspect. Hey,
look, two closets. Can ya imagine!
(one door is opened) These closets
sure are big over here aren't they!

Frosh no. 2.
This could be your closet (second
door opened)

Frosh no. 2. This isn't any
closet!

Frosh no. 1. But it's nice any-
way, isn't it! I sure do like this
room. Let's go reserve it.

Frosh no. 2. Yeah, let's go re-
serve it.

As they tumble into the dean's
office, Bella meets them with a
"hello good morning how are you"
smile.

Frosh no. 1. Hey, we want to
sign up for our room. We've found
a very nice one. No. 315 in Main.*

Bella. (Looks startled and com-
poses herself with effort) Now
girls you know that the person
who had that room this year has
first choice on it for next year.

Frosh no. 2. Well, that's all
right, 'cause I'm quite sure a sen-
ior lives in that room 'cause it's
so clean and nice.

Bella. But I don't believe a sen-
ior lives in that room.

Frosh no. 1. Well, who does
live there, so we can ask her
about it?

Frosh no. 2. Yeah, who does
live there?

Bella. I do.

Frosh no. 1. Who?

Bella. I do me.

Frosh no. 2. Oh. .

Frosh no. 1. Oh.

Bella. I'm real sorry, but I am
glad you liked my room. Come'n
see me sometime.

Frosh no. 1. Yeah, it sure was
a pretty room.

Frosh no. 2. Yeah, we sure did
like it.

(They leave with spiritless
faces but Bella is left alone to
exult in this interest shown in
her modest abode.)

Drama of Governors
At Capitol

Blackfriars are concerned. Miss
Winter is concerned. She present-
ed the problem to the meeting last'
Thursday in like manner.

"Now girls, there is a serious
situation confronting us. We're
going to have to get to work be-
cause all the men we had in our
last play have faded out and we're
going to have to get a whole new
cast of fresh men!"

ed up, spoke quietly and calmly,
inviting his friends to come "back
whenever they could. Photo-
graphers' lights flashed as he
stepped down amid restrained ap-
plause and made his way back
to' the office.

Students Meet Herman

Herman wanted to see peopl?.
even two college students. Inside
the office, grim men stood and
sat, waiting their turn with Her-
man. One man chewed on a sand-
wich as the Governor talked, hud,
died in a corner by the desk.

When Herman spoke, the only
sound was that of an Atlanta re-
porter's pencil. The desk was
clear except for a picture, a bou-
quet of flowers, and two burned-
out cigars.

Herman spoke of the M.con
convention it would be upheld.
Teachers would have their 50 per
cent raise in salary for the next
four years. We will expand our
facilities. We all approve of edu-
cationI don't really know whet-
her the University Cente- of
Georgia is under state contro or
not. His henchmen did not move.
They had heard this many timer,
before.

Outside again, ov,er in the cor-
ner, four or five bored-looking
men were nursing WSB radio
equipment. A telephone rang. In a
few minutes, they began laying
cable to the enclosure out in the
rotunda. Photographers checked
their cameras and began congre-
gating near the door.

Scene Shifts

People moved out to Arnall's
rotunda office. It looked small
in the well of three flights of
marble steps. Pictures of leaders,
national and Georgian, hung in
massive frames around the walls.
Photographers and reporters
and reporters came in from the

Governor Dispute

(Continued from Page 1)
since neither governing board had
met, individual members of the ad-
ministration, faculty, and Alum-
nae association urge the "constitu-
tional government ordered by le-
gal interpretation" championed by
ex-Gov. Ellis Arnall.

"I am gravely concerned," said
President McCain Saturday, "that
the question be carried to the su-
preme court, the authorized inter-
preter of the constitution. The
court's decision must be final, and
we shall abide by whatever its de-
cision may be."

Mrs. Eliza King Paschal, presi-
dent of the Alumnae association,
has written each supreme court
judge asking him to remain in of-
fice and to give the people of Geor-
gia the legal interpretation which
is iheir last hope for internal
peace. Several members of the
faculty and administration have
written similar letters, as well as
letters to ex-Gov. Amall congrat-
ulating him on his stand.

Miss Emma May Laney, asso-
ciate professor of English, Miss
Eugenia Symms, alumnae secreta-
ry, and others made the judges'
address available to students last
week.

Jane Meadows, president, has
announced that the Student Gov-
ernment association plans to have
a local lawyer visit the campus in
the near future to help clarify the
various points to be considered in
the controversy for the governor-
ship.

four entrances, flipping coins for
the best places from which to
snap the Governor as he would
enter. Clerks from upstairs offices
hung over rails.

Arnall's three secretaries sat
on folding chairs, coated and hat-
ted, like a waiting bridge party.
Crammed next to the bridge party
w r as a desk, a telephone, a chair,
a WSB microphone, two bouquets
of flowers. It looked like a movie
set in the midst of a throng of
actors, scenery men, photograph-
ers, directors, actresses.

A big photographer for the At-
lanta Constitution suddenly start-
ed down a side corridor. The
crowd, eager for a glimpse of Ar-
nall, surged after him watched
him get a drink of water and
saunter back. Discovery of their
mistake brought smiles not
much laughter.

Arnall Enters

Suddenly, as at a circus parade,
the word was passed along, "Here
he comes" "He's coming." And
there he was.

A little man, carrying a brown
coat and hafr. Entirely alone, ex-
pressionless, undisturbed.

A dozen lights flashed, as agile
photographers and jnewsreelmen
kept ahead of Ellis Arnall in his
solitary march to the rotunda.

He entered his "office', put down
his hat and coat. Silence fell, im-
itating the silence of the man
who held all eyes. He sat down
at his desk, self-controlled and
poised.

As he settled himself, an over-
painted woman began to speak
in a monotone which carried to
the highest balcony above. Ar-
nall's supporters were silent while
she said he had no right to be
there, no right to try to be gov-
ernor when Talmadge was the
man the people elected. But they
laughed when she told Arnall he
was a disgrace to Georgia.
They Liked It

He told, briefly and calmly, of
the "battle of the mansion". He
called his rival "Hummon". The
people liked what he said; they
laughed with him.

As he prepared to leave the
capitol, his friends crowded around
him, shook his hand, pressed af-
ter him. "Stay with ft, Govern-
or" "We're with you, Governor."

He drove off in his inexpensive,
personal car, altfne. The people
stood on the steps to watch him
go it was as dramatic as the
sailing of the Queen Mary from a
New York dock.

As the car disappeared, a loud
noise in the capitol shocked the
crowd into action. They began
running back up the steps, three
at a time. "I heard it." "Sounded
like a shot-gun". "Probably isn't
anything." They shoved to find
out what had happepned.

Shot Rings Out

The young man on the second
balcony was gesturing wildly. A
shotgun shell he had seen it it
went like this and fell.

There was nothing on the floor
but the cigarette butts and candy
wrappers. Nerves began to relax;
the people laughed a little at
themselves. Oh, a firecracker.
They were glad to have something
ease the tension.

They realized that it was fool-
ish to take it so seriously. They
had been thinking it was all real.
Nonsense. It couldnt be real, in
America. 1947. But it was.

Students to Vote on 'Resolution
Against White Primary Bill

Students will be asked by Stu-
dent Government to pass a resolu-
tion tomorrow in student meeting
calling for:

(1) Killing of the white primary
bill. (2) Adjournment of the. State
legislature until Georgia has one
governor. (3) Pledges by both gu-
bernatorial contestants to abide
by a court decision.

Student Government decision to
suggest the resolution followed the

engaging of Dr. Paul Bryan, pro-
fessor of constitutional law at Em-
ory university, -to discuss the pres-
ent situation in Georgia politics
yesterday in chapel. Dr. Bryan
has spoken at civic groups and on
the radio presenting the same
point of view: that constitutional
interpretation of the controversy
shows M. E. Thompson the legal
governor.

Author To Talk
On Leper Work

Mrs. Julia Lake Kellersberger
will speak at 7:30 p. m. Feb. 14
in the Gaines auditorium, on "Rot-
ton Rows and the King's High-

End of W.S.C.
Up for Debate

Also up for discussion is a rec-
ommendation from the Budget
committee that the student bud-
get receive $20 instead of $18

time creation, proposed suicide
last week. The suggestion is that
the student treasurer, I. R. C. and
Christian association divide the
council's functions.

dation is based on the rising cost
of facilities. Representative coun-
cil will decide whether to endorse
the idea to administrative coun-
cil.

Exec Legalizes
Special Case
Procedure

Student Government's executive
committee moved Monday to le-
galize its procedure in questioning
girls charged with serious infrac-
tions of the rules.

President Jane Meadows ex-
plained that under the new plan
when a girl is asked to appear be-
fore the committee, either on the
basis of rumors or after being re-
ported, she may not be required to
answer any questions. In addi-
tion, she will be confronted with
the charge against her at the op-
ening of the session.

"We go on the basis that a girl
will want to appear before the
committee to clear up any points
that may arise," said Jane. "Un-
der the new system, no girl can be
forced through cross examination
to admit breaking rules. Unless
Exec has evidence of infraction,
there can be no decision that any-
one is guilty." No girl has been
asked to appear this- year, she ad-
ded.

Only offenses to which the new
plan applies are drinking, smok-
ing, cheating, and stealing.

C. A. Booklet
Discontinued

C. A. cabinet has decided not to
publish the devotional booklet,
"Our Father" next quarter, basing
reasons on increased printing costs
and unfavorable results of a poll
of readers by lower house.

C. A. President Agnes Harns-
burger stressed the fact that dis-
continuation is not necessarily per-
manent. She expressed apprecia-
tion to all students and faculty
members who contributed to the
publication. The devotional com-
mittee included Margaret Kelly,
Betty Allen, and Harriet Reid.

Copies of this quarter's booklet
can be obtained from committee
members.

Classes Name
Sultans Friday

For those weary of the sweater-
and-skirt, chivalry-is-dead world,
the juniors plan an Arabian Nights
evening straight from the Orient
for +he annual "Joint", March 1.

Complete with harems, sultans,
veiled women, white horses, magic
lamps and carpets, elephants, cam-
els, and geniis, the one-night club
will bring old Araby to the cam-
pus, Betzie Powers, Joint chair-
man, revealed.

The program of entertainment
will be shorter this year with the
new policy of having only four
skits with music-filled intermis-
sions between them. In former
years each major organization on
campus has presented a skit.

Sultans and their ladies from
the freshman, sophomore, junior,
and senior provinces will preside
over the festivities. Toward the
end of the evening the sultan fa-
vorite, in whose name World Serv-

contributions, will reign supreme.

Classes chose their sultans Fri-
day and they will be announced
with skits soon, Betzie said.

The night club's oriental floor
show will be under the direction of
Easy Beale, sophomore, a soon-to-
be elected freshman and senior
who will head their class product-

aman, tickets.

The committee has set a mini-
mum charge and will sell table

News Receives
Additional 2%
Of Total Budget

Budget committee, composed of
treasurers of organizations finan-
ced by student budget, Friday vot-
ed two more per cent of the sec-
ond semester total to the ailing
Agnes Scott News, bringing its
share to 17 percent.

The committee recommended
that the League of Women Vot-
ers receive no allotment this year
from the budget. Student approval
is necessary before final action is
taken.

Pi Alpha Phi, debate society,
gave up one percent, while Chris-
tian association and the campus
League of Women voters each took
a cut of one-half percent.

The committee added a recom-
mendation to Representative coun-
cil that the activities budget be
allotted $20, rather than $18, of
each student's tuition.

Corrections Follow
Fire Dept. Report

After inspecting the buildings
and electrical equipment on cam-
pus, the Decatur fire department
suggested as safety precautions
that signs be placed over fire es-
cape exits, fire extinguishers be
recharged once a year, old-style
elevator shafts be replaced, and
shrubbery be cleared from around
fire escapes.

"Most of these items have al-
ready been corrected and the oth-
ers will be as soon as we get the
material," P. G. Rogers, assistant
business manager, treasurer, re-
ported.

"As a safety precaution that ev-
ery one can take, I ask that the
students in their dormitory rooms
not use too many wires at the
time, for this fends to over-burden
the lines," declared Mr. Rogers.

Foreman Reports
On Aztec Ruins

Along with several paintings and
figurines, H. C. Forman, head of
the art department brought home
from Mexico a tale of transporta-
tion that surpasses Atlanta's
woes. During his Christmas trip
south of the border, he left the
qomforrt of planes to ride for
five hours on a bus with about a
hundred Indians carrying every-
thing from knap-sacks to tur-
keys.

On this 15 day trip which
Mr. Forman made for the Uni-
versity Center of Georgia, he
spent much time studying the
"painted miracles", religious
paintings honoring the various
patrons of the Mexican church.
He brought back three of these
paintings which are now in his
office.

Mr. Forman spent a good deal
of time in and near Mexico City
studying the Aztec and pre-Az-
tec civilizations. With an Indian
school teacher as his guide he
also explored secret tunnels and
passageways of the Mayan culture
near the old Mayan capital city
of Chichen Itza.

Dr. Overton's Lectures Receive
Tremendous Student Acclaim

An ovation bringing her twice to
her feet climaxed the final talk of
Dr. Grace Sloan Overton, first
counsellor on marriage and per-
sonal relations to visit the Agnes
Scott campus in more than four
years.

As a proof of her popular recep-
tion 56 out of 72 junior and senior
day students attended her discus-
sion period, Thursday. Dr. Over-
ton spoke to a capacity chapel
daily and her discussion groups
were crowded.

In her discussions with the
freshmen and transfer student
faculty advisors, senior residents
and members of the dean's office
staff, Dr. Overton was direct,
forceful, and full of sound ideas,
Miss Charlotte Hunter, assistant
dean, stated.

Stressing throughout her talks
the formula for successful living,
especially as the woman of tomor-
row, Dr. Overton explained that
trie responsibilities of the morals
of tomorrow rests upon the youth
of today.

With the view of recommending
future lecturers on similar sub-
jects, Exec passed a resolution,
Monday, that Dr. Overton or other
speakers be sponsored by the col-
lege every year or two.

"This is tee-totally- unrehears-

laugh-blush-thought-p rovoking
session of sophomore cabinet
meeting last Wednesday night.
These "Fearless Fosdicks" com-

Presenting their opinions of
"My Ideal Date" were Waldo

C. Hill, and in the capacity of ad-
visor Ben Lochclaire. At the head
of the lists of characteristics which
these boys considered most desir-
able in a date were sincerity,
ability to keep the conversational
ball rolling, and the maintenance
of feminine qualities.

Play By Play

By Lidie Lee

Sports columns are hard to write. That's a simple statement from
your sports editor who's working against a deadline to give you the
latest in sports news. This week though the column v^as simple. News
staff members took pity and pitched in with latest news from the
gym. This column represents their combined efforts.

SENIORS ARE DROWNED OUT

Big - interest of the week is the intramural swimming contest
coming up Monday. Latest bulletins have it that the poor ole sen-
iors are hard up for swimmers. They've held out well so far, had a
good hockey team, even rated substitutes for basketball, but now
that they need that extra spurt for c-o-l-d water, they're lost.
They're old, they wail, and busy. C'mon you you aren't that old
yet, and you still have a chance for the student government cup.
Can't you wind up one senior class still hardy enough to walk
down the aisle for that diploma?

OUTING CLUB STEPS OUT

The lovers of the out of doors should heed the note on the gym
bulletin board, forget that it's January and think about summer
and camp. The physical education department offers to find a spot
amid the redbugs and sunburns for those who like to guide the
younger generation back to mother earth. After all, time is growing
nigh when most of us will forget about handicraft for babies. The
two don't mix, so let's go back to "nachure" while we can.

Until summer you can keep in shape with Outing club. Next
Sunday is the big day for their hike to Atlanta for breakfast. Res-
taurants are preparing already for an extra heavy business that
morning. Wonder how many normal size breakfasts a girl would
eat after a six mile hike in the wee hours of the a. m.?

GYM GOSSIP

Betty Andrews loves horses as everybody knows, and when it
comes to jumping she's always been over the hurdles first with
a non-spill record. She came back from a "glorious" afternoon re-
cently when she found a friend who could take'em a shard and fast
as she could. Of course we're not hinting at a fall, Betty, but where
did those bruises come from?

The badminton tournament has done things to people. One half
of a winning team confided amazedly the other day, "Hadn't even
played a real game before, but we won. Do you suppose I'm a
natural ?'

Can't keep the personal touch out of this. .Last spring your sports
editor told readers the sad tale of the night she went bowling only
to have her date say, "If that's the best score you can get, how can
you possibly write about other people's sports activities." Well, since
Saturday night the tune has changed. Same sports editor, same
date, same bowling alley, but different score. Now editor can make
two strikes in a row.

Sophs, Seniors
Win Basketball
Games Friday

Sister classes sophs and seniors
beat freshmen and juniors Fri-
day in cage contests with a wider
range in scores than in the sea-
son's openers.

Senior-Frosh Battle Slow

Senior-frosh fracas began slow-
ly and at the half the score was
11-6, favor seniors. In the second
period the tempo was faster. The
seniors began making long passes
to the goal and then made a tally
with a short crip shot.

The score mounted and the
game ended with a senior lead of
18-35.

Paschal, frosh forward, though
short, proved she could cover the
court and shoot from any point.
Another freshman, Mitchell, play-
ed upper center court well, break-
ing up senior passes.

The seniors displayed good team
work and fast working plays.
Juniors Bow to Sophs

The juniors were overwhelmed
by a taller, fast shooting team.
The game remained close during
the first half, but with the ab-
sence of some of the first string
players, the juniors were soon left
behind.

The soph forwards had a dis-
concerting play making the first
and second passes from the center
slow, while the third forward mov-
ed to the goal and received a snap
pass. Most of the score was made
with this pass followed by a fol-
low-up or crip-shot after a tie ball
tip off.

Junior forwards played farther
away from the goal and depended
on long shots with a high percent-
age of accuracy. Fraser was high
scorer with 16 points for the sophs.
Humphries tallied 9 for the ju-
niors. Final score was 40-22.

Games were not as rough as the
preceding week though more fouls
were called.

Freshmen Manager Charlotte
Evans said the swimmers enter-

been definitely picked. As things
stand now, however, they will be
counting on Barbara Lawson and
Jane Sharkey for speed, Beryl
Crews, "Casey" Haff, and Char-
lotte Bartlett for diving, and
Charlotte Evans and Beryl Crews
for form.

Sophs Bank on Experience

The sophomores have had a
large turnout of experienced
swimmers. "Bunny" Brannan has
placed second in several of the
Southeastern Championship meets
and both she and "Binky" Stubbs
have had instruction under Ed
Shea, Emory coach. "Bunny",
"Binky", and Jean Fraser are the
sophs speed swimmers. For div-
ing they will rely on Pinny Rog-
ers, Pat MacGowan, Mana-
ger Betty Blackmon and "Weezie"
Durant, Stubbs, and Fraser for
form.

The juniors, who won last
year's meet, have many of the
same swimmers this year includ-
ing Jenny Wren, Jean Barker
Margaret Yancey, and Marian
Yancey. Topping the list of their
speed swimmers is Sheely Little.
Manager Emily Wright will re-
present them in the advanced
diving.

Seniors Plug New Talent

Practicing up for the seniors

are Swimming Manager Cookie
Miller, Janet Liddell, and Marie
Beeson. Senior Manager Beth Wal-
ton is also working with
some new swimmers she hopes
will be ready for the meet Mon-
day.

The meet will feature such
events as the 40-yard dash, 1 a
test of form including tandems
and surface dives, a relay race
using the butterfly breast, back
crawl, and two classes of dives,
intermediate and advanced. The
program will end with a comic
feature by the contestants.

Our Noble Legislature
Carries On ... And On

We highly commend that sovereign body, the Georgia state
legislature for the wisdom and finesse of one of the more re-
cent of its brilliant maneuvers.

We refer to the decision to remain in session. The thing
difficult to understand about the whole situation is why to
adjourn or not to adjourn was ever the question.

Surely a group of such clear thinking, intelligent legislators
could not consider leaving such vital issues, as a white pri-
mary law both governors favor anyway, in the lurch.

And for such a purpose. Only so that the state Supreme
Court can decide who is Georgia's legal governor. When they
opened the gubernatorial door to Herman the sovereign body
indicated that it does not intend to deal with such trivialities
as legality. Their support, given so whole-heartedly, to the
white primary and party-originated instead of legislature-
orginated laws also shows their contempt for hide-bound
formalities such as law and order. *

No kick should be coming from the .tax-payers either. They
will probably never miss those five g's of their money which
the legislature eats up every day it is in session.

You're right boys, why go home? H. G.

Marriage Course?

Most of us hope to get married one of these days. And
most of us appreciated what light Dr. Overton had to throw
on the problems connected with it.

Some schools today offer regular courses dealing with the
problems of marriage. We think the time has come for Agnes
Scott to consider such a course.

Most of us realize now that marriage involves a lot of
psychology. It involves a lot of homemaking that some of
us have neglected to learn in our search for "higher educa-
tion." It involves an understanding of sex. In fact, it involves
a lot of things most of us need to know about.

Dr. Grove in North Carolina was the first leader in the
field of proper sex instruction. The University of Southern
California with Dr. Popene has followed suit and now offers
classes with regular academic credit.

Mortar Board led the way toward sound attitudes about
marriage and brought its weekly marriage classes to the cam-
pus each year. Dr. Overton, sponsored by the college, was
the second step.

The groundwork has been laid. The next move is the es-
tablishment of a regular course here.

The frontier is gone, the roads are clear. We believe the
time has come to consider marriage classes at Agnes Scott.

Associated Collegiate Press

Margaret Kinard has had a
dream which profoundly concerns
the student body in general and
the seniors in particular. It seems
that she was riding around in
Clemson one day with some
friends when she suddenly saw
Mr. Stukes you know, the Stukes
of Agnes Scott.

Well, somehow they began talk-
ing about school matters and Mar -
garet w : as informed that gradu-
ation this year would be August
12 instead of June 2. Now this bit
of news upset Margaret. In face
she was quite undone about the
whole thing.

Mr. Stukes was asked why a
thing like this was necessary and
after much sputtering and stam-
mering he told Margaret that
some of the seniors just wouldn't
be through by June 2 and that
everyone would be through by
August 12, though.

At this, Margaret became righi-
eous indignation personified and
told Mr. Stukes that she fully ex-
pected to be through by June 2
and she wanted to graduate then.
Mr. Stukes claimed he was sorry
that Margaret should have to
wait that extra time but she
should think about the other peo-
ple in the class.

As the scene closed Margaret
had worked herself into such a
frenzy that she had decided to put
a suggestion in Student Govern-
ment's box to see what they could
do about Mr. Stukes and August
12.

Here's a bit Bet Patterson sent
me from the infirmary.

"A chance conversation over-
heard at the gym Friday after-
noon: The talk turned to the soph-
omore's recent o v e r-whelming
show of pep, and Nan Johnson
insisted they'd always been peppy.

Terrell Warburton: Oh, are you
a sophomore? I thought you were
a senior.

Nan: (Slightly amused and
pleased) No, I'm a sophomore.

Terrell: But you live in Main,
don't you?

Nan: < highly amused) No, Flori-
da just as far apart as can be.

As we go to press it is not
known whether the misunder-
standing is understood.

Note from the slave: Any bits

Your Right Brushstrokes

To Say It

To the Editor:

A woman president! Why not?
Well, here's why not. Agnes Scott
in her outstanding history has had
only two presidents, both out-
standing leaders, both men. The
future of the college rests in the
selection of our president. We know
of no woman who could represent
and guide Agnes Scott with the
dignity and success of Dr. McCain.
We do not object to women hold-
ing positions of importance and we
are not measuring woman against
man, but woman against Dr. Mc-
Cain.

Besides, this college is too much
of a woman's world anyway. We
don't mind standing up on the
streetcar and getting our stock-
ings wet, but we do object to a
woman as our next president.

The exhibit in Buttrick Hall
is refreshingly different, and well
worth seeing. The paintings, by
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Bishop,
widely known artists in the Unit-
ed States, are of all styles and
subject matter.

In viewing one of Mr. Bishop's
works, a powerful pen and ink
drawing of a seated figure, brood-
ing with deep-set eyes is seen
first. Upon closer examination,
however, one realizes that the de-
sign is made up of literally hun-
dreds of smaller human creatures
against a black background.

Though not as spectacular as
the seated man, the other paint-
ings are interesting and varied.
Several pen and ink illustrations
of Moby Dick and some rather
free, impressionistic water-colors
of crooked, crowded houses of
Harpers' Ferry, Va. and quiet
scenes of Georgia's fall foliage are
exhibited.

Mrs. Florence Bishop's paint-
ings are fascinating. All her com-
positions are in oils, with such
varied subject matter as an al-
most photographic study of the
"Scarecrow." a subtle portrait of
"Orphelia," and a delightful pink
and white painting of a little mid-
Victorian lady, "Going for a walk."

Mr. Bishop, by birth a Cana-
ian, is now connected with the
art department of the Public
Health service here.

Mrs. Bishop says that though
art is her first love, she is fond
too of poetry. Daughter Phyl, a
sophomore, is a real "chip off the
old block," since she is a new
member of Poetry club.

MacCracken Says Literature Shackled

Six More Lectures Scheduled
For Scholar's Two-week Visit

"Literature is not free," Dr. Henry Noble MacCracken de-
clared to a large audience in Gaines auditorium Tuesday
night.

In his lecture on ''Literature and Freedom", Dr. MacCrack-
en emphasized the fact that "Literary people are under a
tremendous obligation to bring
hope and good will to the world."

In some ages, he said, writers
may be free but in this age of
great moral problems they must
produce great literature like
"King Lear" which elevates and
helps man grow.

President emeritus of Vassar
and a Shakespeare and Chaucer
scholar, Dr. MacCracken will be
on campus two weeks as a guest

Giselle, Wilis, Wine Gatherers
Prepare Piourettes for Ballet

By Dolly Cave

"Lift those veils, you're not
dead yet."

And the Wilis come to life, un-
wrap the yards of tulle and pre-
pare to dance the lover to death
again. Just two more weeks till
Feb. 15 when the ballet "Giselle"
goes on stage in Presser at 8:30.

Ribbons are hanging loose, toes
are tired, swords and metal cups
lie over the floor. Each act for-
gets their props and Giselle pro-
ceeds to stumble as the struggling
duke attempts to raise her for a
leap.

"Ugh," groans the duke. Plop
falls Giselle, and the practice goes
on. She rubs an aching foot, mops
her brow, and takes her pose,
ready to dance her lover to death
again. He rises from his inert po-
sition and sigh audibly.

The Wilis look anxiously at
their watches. The music starts
again. Giselle is prepared to rise
from her tomb once more, to bour-
ree effortlessly out. But alas
she has stepped in some resin, anr?
her shoes stick hopelessly.

"Where are the dramatic parts
in Act One?" cries Miss Dozier,
the maitresse de ballet.

"Oh, they're at Blackfriars
meeting. They'll be here after a
while," shrugs someone noncha-

lantly.

"How can I go to Mrs. Brooks'
for my fitting this afternoon?"
calls a distraught Wili, "I'm cam-
pused."

"Do like I'm doing," helpfully
suggests Giselle, "I'm making my
own costume."

"But I can't sew."

"Oh, neither can I," replies the
latter, with the optimism of inno-
cence, "but I reckon it'll get to-
gether somehow!"

"Have the shoes come yet?" is
now the password for ballet group.
It is whispered fervently, as one
might ask his butcher, "Do you
have any meat today?"

The News waits desperately ev-
ery Monday night until their man-
aging editor stabs herself to death.
The members of Exec watch some
of 'their members slip out unob-
trusively each week. The time is
drawing near.

This is the first full length bal-
let ever to be presented at Agnes
Scott, is the oldest classical ballet
being produced today, and is still
one of the most popular ones
existing.

Miss Eugenie Dozier has tran-
scribed the choreography after
Jules Perrot and Jean Coralli. The
music of Adolphe Adam is being
played by Mrs. John Espy, Jr.

Urge Killing
Of Primary Bill

The student body unanimously
passed the resolution suggested by
Student Government calling for
the adjournment of the State leg-
islature until Georgia has one gov-
ernor and for pledges by both gu-
bernatorial contestants to abide by
a court decision.

The resolution is being sent to
the contending governors, the
president of the Senate, and the
speaker of the House.

In addition, a resolution calling
for the killing of the white pri-
mary bill, which has been passed
on by the House of Representa-
tives, is being directed to the
president of the Senate with the
hope that a political machine will
not be upheld in the state.

Also approved by the students
was the recommendation by the
budget committee suggesting that
an additional 2 per cent be allot-

commend to Administrative coun-
cil that the student treasurer, the
treasurers of Christian association
and International Relations club
take over collections for one drive
to include all charity donations
from the campus. Majority of the
responsibility and work would
fall to the student treasurer.

The recommendation provided
that the plan have a one-year
trial beginning this March.

Meanwhile, Representative coun-
cil as a group will retain respon-
sibility in apportioning the other
duties of the now defunct organ-
ization among other groups. C. A.
and I. R. C. are expected to di-
vide the non-monetary work.

"World Service council has
come to the end of the road," said
1946-47 Chairman Nellie Scott in
proposing death of the organiza-
tion to Representative council.
"It has dwindled each year and in
many peoples' minds has degen-
erated into a money-begging or-
ganization." She added that "peo-
ple aren't paying their pledges."

The council, organized as War
Council in 1941 to unify campus
drives for Red Cross, war relief,
and similar organizations, and to
correlate student volunteer war
work, narrowly escaped death last
spring after discussion by Repre-
sentative council.

Representative council turned
down a suggestion that all col-
lection duties now performed by
W. S. C. devolve on the student
treasurer and her committee, al-
ready formed, of treasurers of
campus organizations. Student
treasurer Sister Davis said that
the job allowed time for the extra
work; but it was pointed out that
the treasurers' committee would
probably lack time and a desire
to help with the job.

MacCracken
Talks Politics,
Girls 7 Schools

By Harriet Gregory

"Ellis Arnall is the best and I
believe the only candidate that
can carry the Democratic party
to victory in 1948" is Henry No-
ble MacCracken's opinion today
as it was in November when its
publication in the New York
Times aroused comment.

"I will stand by that statement
now if the man behind 'The Shore
Dimly Seen' is the Ynan of pro-
mise he appears in his book," Dr.
MacCracken declared Tuesday in
a press conference with reporters
from the Atlanta Journal and the
Agnes Scott News.

"The Shore Dimly Seen"

Dr. MacCracken explained that
he was not a politician nor a part
of any political controversy but
that Mr. Arnall in his book
seemed a man of vision and in-
sight.

Although he likes the product
of womens' colleges, Dr. Mac-
Cracken said he wishes they
would allow more for individual
deviation. The former teacher at
Smith, president of Vassar, and
visitor of many girls schools, said
h,e lacked the discernment nec-
essary to compare Agnes Scott
with any of them because ""wo-
men's colleges are more alike
than any institutions in the
world."

"It is impossible to distinguish
between the products of different
women's colleges in the United
States. They all do about the
same thing, giving full attention
to a limited field, are founded on
common principles, and have com-
mon traditions."

"Every college wants the same
kind of young lady," and their
standard, he thinks, is not always

Juniors Win Song Battle
By Quality and Quantity

Bikini Gives
Scientists
Vital Data

Dr. John Howe Yoe, chairman
of the board of scientists who ob-
served the Bikini atom bomb
tests, spoke and showed pictures
of the bomb explosions last Tues-
day evening in MacLean.

Dr. Yoe stressed the value of
the scientific data accumulated
by the "Operations Crossroads."
"Although the press wrote up the
account of the above water blast
as a flop, the information gained
from this test will contribute to
ail fields of scientific research
and scientific purposes," said Dr.
Yoe. The same fact was true about
the underwater test, although
both tests were arranged in com-
pletely different patterns and
scales.

Speaking of the board of scien-
tists who observed the Bikini
tests. Dr. Yoe emphasized the
fact that "science is a universal
bond" There were 21 American
scientists, most of whom were en-
gineers. The 21 foreign members
included two representatives each
from the eleven members of the
United Nations Atom Bomb Con-
trol commission. The scientists,
Dr. Yoe pointed out, stayed away
from politics as much as possible,
sticking to shuffleboard and other
deck games. On the entire voyage
Dr. Yoe noted the general feeling
that the hope for world peace was
genuine and sincere among the
men-

The colored movies of the Bi-
kini tests showed some pictures
of the scientists present, of the
actual explosions both the "Able"
blast and the "Baker" blast, and
scenes of the destruction of the
target. During the movies, Dr.
Yoe p o i nt e d out the sign
ificant details and later held a
short question and answer period
for the audience.

Chi Btea Phi, honorary scien-
tific fraternity which sponsored
Dr. Yoe's visit to the campus, en-
tertained at coffee in Murphey
Candler following the lecture.

During his three-day stay in
Decatur, the Virginia chemist also
addressed audiences of Georgia
Tech and Emory students.

"What we've got" since the chapel-packed contest Friday,
is a new song for Agnes Scott to sing.

What the juniors had was the spirit and the songs, both
in quality and quantity to win the class song contest. The
other junio rsong was the junior alma mater with

words by Barbara Coith and Bet- *

zie Powers. Nan Nettles wrote the i
tunes for both songs.

The pep song, "What We've Got",
owes its lyrical existance to a
group of about 10 juniors led by
Mary Beth Little and Pagie Vio-
lette.

Class Spirit Radiates

The juniors in their blue and
white were not the only class sing-
ing lustily and radiating the old
class spirit. Freshmen sang one pep
song, "Aggie's Agony" to the tune
of "Clementine" and "The Agnes
Scott Air" to "Londondery Air."
Kathy Davis wrote the words to
both songs.

Sporting their yellow and white,
the sophomores sang "Dear Old
Agnes Scott" with words by Kate
Elmore, and "To Thee Alma Mat-
er" with words and music by Nan-
cy Dendy.

By far the most impressive en-
trance was made by the black-
robed seniors who wore their mor-
tar boards at a jaunty angle. Their
songs were the senior alma mat-
er and "Thy Ideals", with music
by Agnes Harnesberger and words
by Bet Patterson.

Faculty Steals Show

While Miss Louise Hale of the
French department, Mrs. Rebekah
Clarke of the music department,
and S. G. Stukes, dean of the fac-
ulty, judged the singability of the
competive songs, a group of fac-
ulty-alumnae gave stirring rendit-
ions of Agnes Scott songs popular
back when.

To tunes like "Soloman Levi,"
these songs not "old, but used in
former days" left not a dry eye
or an occupied seat (due to much
rolling in the aisles) among the
touched student audience.

The 30 songs written by the jun-
iors put them way out front in the
number submitted. The seniors
were next with 14 while the sopho-
more and freshmen classes wrote
ten each.

2 Governors;
One Mansion;
Housing Crisis?

By an Anonymous Emory
Wheel Reporter

The results of Georgia's having
two governors in the state capitol
(or thereabouts) has caused much
speculation as to the relative good
or evil that will arise if such a sit-
uation continues. Wondering what
the reaction of college people in
general was, we collared a few and.
respectfully submit the opinions
given.

Dexter Poindexter, III, Emory
senior, stated his opinion of the
outlook by saying:

"I think the idea^of two gover-
nors is a good one. For one thing
it will be a step toward relieving
the housing shortage. Two fami-
lies could share the governor's
mansion (the Lord and Herman
willing) instead of the customary
one. Both would have kitchen
privileges and could keep herds of
livestock in the same barn."

Tolstoy Riley, political science
major, remarked,

"I don't believe Georgia needs
two governors. That would be a
step toward Communism, and
while I am firmly opposed to the
vested interests, I feel " (Tol-
stoy had by this time climbed on
a nearby soap box, and the crowd
which gathered made it impossible
to take notes.)

Thermos Touchdown, Tech stu-
dent, reflected for a moment when
we put the question to him and
said slowly,

"I don't know about this gover-
nor's business but if Georgia
hadn't had Trippi, they wouldn't
have had a " (We saw Miss Oval-
tine swish by and left Thermos
rather suddenly.)

Miss Ninotchka Ovaltine, who
studies at Wesleyan, coyly whis-
pered,

If Herman's In, Toss Out
Constitution, Says Lawyer

"Does the Constitution of Geor-
gia authorize the legislature in-
stead of merely opening and pub-
lishing the returns to elect anoth-
er governor?" is the key ques-
tion in the Georgia gubernatorial
contest according to Dr. Paul Bry-
an, professor of constitutional law
at Emory in his talk Wednesday.

"Unless this question is decided
by the Supreme Court, the Con-
stitution will no longer be the su-
preme law of the land." And the
only force to keep the legislature
in line will be "the force of opin-
ion and the ballot box," he contin-
ued.

Dr. Bryan explained the Tal-
madge faction bases its case on
the phrase in the Constitution
which authorizes the legislature to
elect the governor in case no per-
son receives a majority. They say
that Eugene Talmadge, who re-
ceived the majority of the votes,
is dead and therefore not a per-
son.

"It's pretty plain that the lan-
guage must be read as of the time
of when the polls closed," he stat-
ed. On this interpretation Thomp-
son bases his claim to the right
of acting-governorship.

Dr. Bryan felt that Arnall had
the choice of staying in until a
successor "be duly elected and
qualified" or of resigning in favor
of acting governor Thompson.

The courts will act only if they
consider the case judicial rather
than constitutional, he said.

Debaters Clash
With Emory On
2-Party System

Climaxing a week of unusual ac-
tivity, debaters from Pi Alpha Phi
participated in their third inter-
collegiate fray Monday night in an
open forum with the Emory de-
bate club.

Presenting points for Agnes
Scott were Lida Walker and B. J.
Brown. Discussion centered
around the topic for the Georgia
Debate Tournament slated for
Emory in late February, Resolved,
that Georgia should have a two-
party system. A number of Pi Al-
pha Phi members attended the dis-
cussion.

Last Friday night Pi Alpha Phi
entertained North Georgia college
in a non-decision debate on the
subject, Resolved, that labor
should have a share in the man-
agement of industry. Saturday
night the same topic was discussed
with Georgia Tech over WGST.

At the next regular meeting of
the club, on Feb. 13, the question
for debate will be, Resolved, that
it is better to live in a town than
a big city. The campus is invited
to attend this debate which begins
the finals of the annual debate
tournament.

Ninia Owens and Lida Walker
received the decision at the meet-

Student aid in departments and
campus maintenance is sailing at
less than half-mast this year, ac-
cording to figures compiled by
Miss Charlotte Hunter, assistant
dean a nd administrator of the
student aid program.

A cumulative drop over the past
four years in the number of girls
accepting student aid jobs, plus
an increase in maintenance job
time, has cut each department
using student help an average of
one-fourth its 1942-43 quota, Miss
Hunter said.

Four years ago students spent
1,183 hours each week in campus
jobs; this year, Miss Hunter's of-
fice must try to fill more jobs with
only 565 hours to assign.

Library Suffers

Hardest hit is the library, she
said, where students spent 221
hours a week working in 1942-43.
This year the staff has only 65
hours of student help a week.

"Academic departments have
beeen pared to the bone", Miss
Hunter said. "They were set in
the expectation of student aid,
and now members of the faculty
are doing much of their depart-
ments' typing."

Other items high on the student
aid list are switchboard operators,
105 hours a week; hostesses in
Main, 44 hours a week an item
added in 1943-44; dining room
hostesses, 21 hours a week ad-
ded the same year; and Buttrick
hostesses, 12 % hours a week.
PBX Trainees Needed

Top "must" job is switchboard,
she said, where the prospects look
dim for next year. Eleven opera-
tors will graduate in June, and
only eight girls in the freshman
class are doing student aid this
year. The ten trainees who be-
gan switchboard work this quar-
ter were taken from other depart-
ments.

President J. R. McCain was op-
timistic about next year's pros-
pects, predicting that 20 per cent
of the student body might do stu-
dent aid work next year, an in-
crease of about five per cent over
this year's total.

"It would pay us to bring in
outside help for some of these
jobs", said Dr. McCain, "but we
feel that it is part of the Agnes
Scott tradition to have students
at the switchboard and in simi-
lar jobs."

Who says hearing the minutes is
the dullest part of a meeting?
Down at Georgia last week the
president of a student club pulled
the one about the minutes being
approved as read they started
impeachment proceedings.

Emory university journalism
students put out a new publica-
tion last week the nameplate on
the usually somewhat conservative
"Emory Wheel" read "The Wheel
Emory". The editor this week
christened the paper simply, "The
Wheel," taking no chances.

Speaking of woman college
presidents, some haven't done too
badly. President Mildred McAfee
Horton, Wellesley college, has just
been named president of the Asso-
ciation of American colleges.

Betty Mann of Greenville, for-
mer member of the class of 1947,
will reign as queen over this year's
Furman university May day fes-
tivities.

He: The contralto sure had a
large repertoire.

She: Yes, and that dress just
made her look worse. Oh, well,
what can you expect when you lift
a joke from a woman's college pa-
per?

"Live and learn," advises the
Technique, "if you have time for
both."

The Converse college Parley-
Voo has an interesting bottom-of-
the-column remark. We quote in

Dr. McCain ana iviiss Hunter
agreed that wartime prosperity
was the chief cause of the pre-
sent low in student aid holders;
they believe that the increase in
applications for next year, while
connected with the rise in tuition,
is indicative of a return to more
normal economics in America.

"We will not urge more stu-
dents to take student aid," Miss
Hunter emphasized. "We want
need to be the cause, as it has
been in the past. Academic work
and health must come first with
any student." One requirement is
that the recipient of. student aid
keep up her grades satisfactorily.

Dr. McCain revealed that a
gradual increase in student aid
rates in "skilled" jobs over the
last three years has outstripped
the proportional rise in prices.
While the rate in former years
was 50 cents per hour for all work,
skilled work like operating the
campus switchboard now brings
65 cents per hour, he said.

Both Dr. McCain and Miss Hun-
ter commended the spirit of both
students and departments in meet-
ing extra calls upon their time.

its entirety: "There will be a new
fire escape put right outside Skip-
py Herbert's window." Let us be
the first, Skippy, but what did you
do with the old one?

Best delayed-action tale of the
week was the one about the six
Tech boys who journeyed with
blueprints to Athens ten days be-
fore the Tech-Georgia game last
fall; at 3 a. m., sowed winter grass
seed in the Georgia stadium with
slide-rule precision: "BEAT U. OF
GA." It took 40 pounds of seed.
Two weeks ago, it sprouted.

Guess you heard that molasses
and blackstrap are no longer un-
der price control. And as if this
were not blessing enough, we un-
derstand that allotments of said
food-stubstitutes are now unre-
stricted. This is wonderful. No
longer will we rush to breakfast
early in the fond hope that we will
find a table with edible syrup on
it Sunday mornings. We can just
sleep till church-time. J. B.

the water color art sketches
which have been drawn by Black-
friars' members.

still time for all students to try
out for membership on the techni-
cal staff, Miss Winter emphasized.

Agnes Scott President J. R,
McCain and President Goodrich
C. White of Emory expressed
themselves as neither essentially
antagonistic to or in favor of the
roadcast hookup proposed for Em-
ory and Agnes Scott with E. D.
Rivers Jr.'s radio station to be
established in Decatur.

"We can do no business with
Mr. Rivers until he puts his pro-
position down in black and white,
said Dr. McCain.

Dr. White said that Emory has
no official opinion upon the sub-
ject until the committee which is
considering joining Mr. Rivers in
this plan has submitted a report.
The committee was to confer with
Mr. Rivers last week, but he was
called out of town.

"If the station is entirely out
of politics and free from obnoxious
advertising and programs, Emory
will probably be in favor of its
established," was the opinion of
Floyd K. Baskette, a member of
the committee.

Rivers has been in contact with
Dr. McCain intermittently since
he proposed use of the college
name for the new Decatur station
about two weeks ago. Rivers plans
to open the station, his third, for
day time broadcasts in the spring.

Contemplation
Only Hope For
Weary Seniors

By Joanne Benton

It's getting so you can tell sen-
iors apart from other people. The
weeks hanging over the campus
right now like so many cubic
miles of train smoke the weeks
of the famed Sophomore Slump)
find the sophomores disconcert-
ingly normal.

It s the seniors who have had
to give up going up the steps two
at a time seniors will be the
first to give up going up steps.
Seniors may even be the first to
give up.

It's the seniors who have slump-
ed. You can't blame them, though.
As they muddle through the last
weeks of meetings, conferences,
oilier meetings and more confer-
ences, the hope of elections shines
forth as must have shone the
lights of White House when Co-
lumbus sighted America.

It's time for elections, time for
younger hands to dust aside the
tottering incumbents.

After all, seniors are beginning
to realize that while work may be
all very well for the plebians of
this world, for a senior the only
constructive life is one of philos-
ophic contemplation, far, far, away
from the sound of a human voice
or the sight of a notice in local
mail suggesting that you please be
prompt.

Sophs Win '47 Swim Meet

By Lidie Lee

Outing club members deserve a medal for bravery. Sunday morn-
ing while the stars were still out fourteen of their strongest mem-
bers started out on the annual breakfast hike to Atlanta. "We start-
ed early," said President Louise Hoyt, "because we wanted to pick a
time when everybody would be free. At that time of day no one
is doing anything but sleeping anyway."

Thermometer Hits New Low
This year's hikers found the going tougher than usual with the
thermometer hitting 24 degrees. After walking a short distance they
found conversation hard. Jaws stiff with cold were hard to open,
and smiles hurt.

At 8 a. m. the hikers to avoid the breakfast rush caught a bus
from Clifton Road to the Majestic on Ponce de Leon. Three hardy
souls, Ruth Bastin, Doc Dunn and Helen Currie, walked the entire
distance.

Catching a trolley back to school the hikers found themselves stars
in the eyes of the trolley driver who, until they boarded the car,
had only "hauled two women and five men all morning."

Prize remark of the morning came from Dot Morrison as she sep-
arated from the rest of the group at a Gulf gas tank. Remarked Dot,
"Seems to be a gulf between us."

Juniors tied with the seniors in Friday's basketball game but
lost to the sophomores in the basketball attendance race. Winners
of the attendance percentage for the past two weeks, they slipped
into third place this week.

Spectators See Thriller
Spectators at Friday's games were excited, over the grand team-
work exhibited, by juniors and by the stiff fight put up by seniors
who are still minus B. J. Radford, star guard. A male spectator was
much amazed at the skill shown by all the players and decided before
the games were over the girls' basketball though not as hard as
the boys' game can be just as fast and exciting.

Senior Swimming Manager Beth Walton's unusual methods of
getting swimmers brought results. Faced with the grim facts that the
seniors weren't going to have enough swimmers to enter Monday's
meet, Beth went through the gym files and got the names of all
seniors who had passed their swimming tests. Putting on a door to
door canvass with the list in her hand Beth successfully made up
her team. Initiative and enterprise we call it.

"I even used to play football,"
said Floss Hanson when asked if
she liked sports. Fross is the man-
ager of the freshmen basket-ball
team and they couldn't have pick-
ed a better one, for she has been
sports-minded all her life.

Heads Basketball Team

In high school it's Plant high
school in Tampa, Fla., which is
her home she was on the varsity
basket-ball team for three years.
As captain of the team her senior
year she muzzled ahead to victory
and the championship title for
the year.

She also excells in other sports
being captain of her volley-ball
team when they won class champ-
ionship her junior year. Agnes
Scott's "Dizzy Dean" was pitcher
of the varsity baseball team as
well as captain during her senior
year of high school.

She didn't forget her sports on
her arrival at college; for the
freshman hockey team she play-
ed left-half.

Versatile Floss

Holding her own in other fields,
she was in the Quill and Scroll
club, on the annual staff, and on
the staff of Pep-O-Plant, her high
school paper.

For the future
study commercial art and particu-
larly enjoys drawing portraits.
She likes her men to be lots of
fun, not necessarily cute but good
dancers. Any height Floss says,
"Just so long as he's taller than
I am."

The freshmen send their word
of warning, "You'd better watch
out for our modern Diana."

14 Hikers

Braving weather 24 degrees
above zero, 14 members of Outing
club hiked to Atlanta Sunday
morning for breakfast at the Ma-
jestic, on Ponce de Leon. Start-
ing from the college at 7 a. m.,
the girls hiked in, ate a waffle
breakfast, and returned to the
campus by 9 a. m.

Tie, 16-16

By E. Claire Cunningham

Juniors and seniors fought to
a 16-16 tie in Friday's basketball
games in one of the most thrill-
packed games seen this season.
Sophs rode to an overwhelming
victory over a freshman quintet
40-17.

Seniors Break Lead

Junior-senior tilt had a surprise
ending when the seniors tied the
score in the last two minutes of
the game with two free throw
goals to break a lead juniors had
maintained throughout the game.

The guarding done by both
teams was excellent and kept the
score very low. At the half the
score was 12-6 in favor of the
juniors'. Junior goals were mainly
long shots to get past the seniors'
tight zone defense, while
seniors relied on fast passing to
get close shots.

Wright and Hough were high
scorers for the junior and senior
teams respectively. Both made 10
of the 16 points tallied by their
team.

Sophs Win Overwhelmingly

In the soph-freshman clash the
soph team swept the fighting frosh
aside in a tide of scoring. Bunny
Brannon made 20 of her team's
40 points.

The frosh played a better game
second half, but couldn't seem to
get through the soph guards. Both
teams played lots of substitutes.

In a preliminary game a frosh
team beat sophs and showed both
teams have good reserve material.
Team Lineups

Juniors: Humphries, McLaurin,
Wright, forwards; Hayes, Cun-
ningham, Dunn, guards.

Seniors: Dickson, Heery, Hough,
forwards; Williams, Adams^ Lid-
dell, guards.

Next Attractions

Next week the juniors and
freshmen will meet again and the
seniors will tackle the sophs for a
second time. Games will start at
4 p. m. in the gym.

Standings so far have the
sophs out in front with three
straight wins. Juniors and seniors
are tied with one win, one loss and
one game tied. Freshmen trail
with three games lost.

Freshmen : Warlick, William-
son, Paschal, forwards; Macht,
Truslow, Mitchell, guards; Rien-
artz, Irvin, Carpenter, substitues.

Sophomores : Davis, Jackson,
Brannon, forwards, Stubbs, Cook,
Newton, guards; Bishop, Ellis,
Marsh, Huey, Blake, substitutes.

Juniors Fail, 33-34
In Try For Second Win

The sophomores with a score of 34 claimed the victory
at the swimming meet Monday night contrary to the an-
nouncement that juniors had placed first. The mixup was a
result of crediting freshmen with an advanced diver they
didn't have.

Juniors came in second with a
score of 33 points. Freshmen and
seniors tied for third place with
28 points each.

First event in the meet was a
40 yard medley with the sophs
claiming first place. Class parti-
cipants were Barbara Lawson
(frosh .) , Agnes Harnesberger,
(sr.) Bunny Brannon (soph.),
Sheeley Little (jr.), and Emily
Wright (jr.).

From swimming followed with
all three classes winning the side
stroke, sophs ahead in the breast
stroke, and seniors and freshmen
tying for the back crawl. Par-
ticipants were Todd McCain, Lil-
lian Enloe, Robin Robinson, Cas-
Haff, freshmen; June Davis,

Emory Experts
Give Pointers
In Slams, Serves

Badminton enthusiasts got
some skillful coaching and a fast
workout Thursday at the gym.
Randy Hayes and Gene Sims, two
top notch badminton players from
Emory came over for an informal
period of coaching, exhibition play-
ing, and mixed doubles games.

Around fifteen girls attended
for a period of mixed doubles, fol-
lowed by an informal period of dis-
cussion on serves, slams, and
drives. Mr. Hayes stressed the
importance of the back corner
shot in singles and good net work.
For the doubles game, he stressed
the necessity of good slams, good
net work, and exceptional team-
work. In speaking of badminton
technique as a whole, he empha-
sized complete wrist action on all
shots and the need for a good "fol-
low-through" in all serves.

At the end of the period every-
one agreed that a great deal had
been gained from the coaching.
Plans are being made for another
session of mixed doubles, to be an-
nounced at a later date.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, WED. FEB. 5, 1947

*

New Spirit, New Song

When "sweet young things" tripped about Decatur Female
Seminary, "When far from the reach" may have brought
tears to their eyes. Today its cloyingly sweet melody is more
apt to bring forth a groan.

Since the song was first adopted as our alma mater the
college has done more than change its name. While still not
hoary with age, we have a wealth of traditions, Phi Beta
Kappa and Mortar Board rating, student government, and all
the trimmings of an adult college.

Her students have kept up with the growth. A majority
of us voted in the last general elections, most have post gra-
duate plans including a career, and few will sit back and
wait for a Prince Charming to sweep them off our feet.

The purpose of an alma mater is to symbolize the spirit
of the college. Yet, we cling to a song which is the epitomy
of Victorianism.

Several excellent songs were presented at the song contest
Friday. Although none may be entirely satsfactory, the stu-
denty body certainly has the talent to write a song in keep-
ing with the Agnes Scott of 1947. We feel that Agnes Scott
should have an alma mater of its own not a relic of Decatur
Female Seminary days. A. R. C.

Rule By A Few

Why bother to submit any more changes, major or minor,
to a student body vote? Does the possible satisfaction a few
may get from participating in a democracy-in-name-only
compensate for the time it takes to read a suggestion and
raise our hands?

Last quarter, the World Service Council budget passed
by virtue of a minority vote in favor, none opposed. The
Council has not been able to collect its pledges of course.

Last Thursday, students voted unanimously to ask that
activities have an increased proportion of every tuition next
y ear apparently without a moment's thought to such con-
siderations as the fact that when you put more money some-
where, that leaves less somewhere else.

Trying to place the blame, if blame there is, isn't the
point. What matters is that we have become a bunch of yes-
men who think either all alike or not at all; we are making
a mockery of the institution of democracy by majority rule
when we vote with the predictability and individuality of
the Rockettes' chorus.

How about ending this rule by a few or do we want it
that way? J. B

Galley Slave A*S* Alumnae Win Fame

The Point Is

Girls, we must be more tolerant
of the little peccadillos we see in
others. We must realize that even
our best friends are not without
them. Alack that it is so, but so
it is!

Now take Alice Newman and
Gene Goode, for instance. They are
fond of flowers a quite harmless
devotion in itself, it would seem.
But other inmates of third Main
think differently. They tell me
that these flowers must sit in one
particular room to get the sun-
shine and that Alice and Gene
insist on watering the things ev-
ery hour on the hour, even if it's
raining outside.

Well, things went on at a mer-
ry pace with inmates scowling and
Alice and Gene still watering and
sunning, until Saturday morning
Ann Wheeler, Mary Jane Fuller
and Ann Hough decided that they,
too, would show their appreciation
of plant life.

These three went down to the
woods and dug up two tender
young trees, threw some dirt in
an orange crate and began the
harrowing experience of coming
home.

Soon the three were met by
civilization as they got to the
hockey field with the tender
young trees. Mr. Posey looked at
them from his home on College
place. Miss Glick and Miss Ley-
burn grinned as they walked by,
and Miss Cilley wanted to know
if they were planting trees.

While civilization met them,
the girls sat down in the middle
of the field and laughed and after
civilization passed by, they picked
up the tender trees again and con-
tinued.

The trees, let it be said, are not
happy. They have been looked up-
on with benevolence, sunned and
watered every hour, but still
their little leaves wither. I think
it is because they see that they
have caused a strained atmos-
phere to exist between the two
schools of action on third Main
the school of plant sunning and
watering every hour, and the
school of tree sunning and wa-
tering every hour.

Some people around here do too much. Some people don't
do anything in the way of student activities. The proposed
changes in the point system are designed to hit a happy
medium between these two classes.

In some cases points are added to jobs which require
more time than ever before. The addition of points to C. A.
council members, to several student government offices, and
on down the line, indicates the effort to keep one person
from holdng too many jobs.

Other offices have the number of points lowered. B. O. Z.
president, advertising manager of the News, and Eta Sigma
Phi president show that some clubs realize their chief of-
fices do not require as much time and their officers should
be all owed to do more.

Elections are coming up: Now is the time to think about
points. Now is the time to fit the girl to the office. The
point committee suggests the changes. It cannot do all the
thinking about them.

Tomorrow is the time to discuss and vote. D. B.

Speech students were saying
their phonetic ahhs and ohhs with
the help of mirrors. Kathy Davis
was among those present. She
had her mirror, too. But her at-
tention was diverted from the
manipulation of the tongue and
lips in making the sounds, of an-
other strange phenomenon then in
action. This was truly puzzling.
"I shall ask Miss Winter about
this," she thought. "Miss Winter,"
she asked "are our noses supposed
to wiggle too?"

A taxi driver with a lost expres-
sion was searching for Agnes
Scott's Bear Creek hall. No one
could help. The problem was
finally solved by translation, and
the senior waiting in front of Butt-

And then there's the story of
Miss Omwake's true and false pop
test which the students were busy
with while Miss Omwake called
the roll. "Miss Ezzard," she call-
ed. Ann looked up into the eyes
of her teacher and murmured,
"true."

Sunday's Journal magazine car-
ried a letter by an Emory student
in which he stated that he had a
hard time noticing the girls on our
campus, the squirrels were so cute.
Hmmm.

NotPills,Sleep
Urges Doctor

Don't be irritated! Have an
well, we can offer you a golden
opportunity to get rid of that
morning after feeling, and that
"don't talk to me, I haven't had
my coffee yet" attitude. Then
maybe you, too, will feel different
lately.

Do you ignore or wish you
could your alarm clock in the
morning ? Instead of being a sweet
slug-a-bed, do you growl and grit
your teeth at your roommate's dis-
gustingly cheerful whistle? If
you do, perhaps it's just because
you don't get enough sleep. If
you get out of bed feeling tired
and quite unequal to staying
awake in that eight-thirty class,
Dr. Margaret Burns blames it on
the fact that your mental and
physical activity of the day before
was out of proportion to the time
you allowed for your body and
brain to recuperate. Therefore,
the soundest statement about the
required amount of sleep is not in
figures but in the word "enough".

Don't ignore your need for sleep!
If you do, you lose vitality, work-
ing power, your good looks, and
disposition. The effect is not im-
mediate but cumulative, and your
Hottentot environment suffers
along with you. There is an easy
method for determining if your
sleep schedule is satisfactory for
you. Add a half hour to your us-
and notice if you're not more im-
mune from the Agnes Scott dis-
ease, a sort of chronic fatigue.
And if that works, try a half hour
more.

The amount of sleep necessary
for you is not necessarily the old
standard rule of eight hours. You
must determine your own standard
and live up to it to get the best
from yourself. B. T.

Corps Bows
In 'Giselle'
Saturday

The curtain goes up on "Gis-
elle", first full length ballet pre-
sented at Agnes Scott, Saturday
night at 8:30 p. m. in Presser.

Cast for the ballet includes 26
from the Ballet group, Klacfc-
friars, and Atlanta dancers. Dol-
ly Cave, Dale Bennett and My-
nelle Grove will dance the solo
roles. Miss Eugenia Dozier ar-
ranged the choreography.

An old classical ballet, u Gis-
selle" is the story of a peasant
girl who falls in love with a duke.
She loves to dance and is warned
by her mother that if she is not
careful she will become a Wili.
Giselle ignores the advice and
dances happily with her lover, un-
til the prince of the land and his
daughter arrive.

A village admirer of Giselle's
reveals that the princess and Gis-
selle's duke are engaged. The duke
threatens to kill the villian who
has revealed the secret but Gis-
elle has lost her mind from the
shock. She wanders about the
stage until she finds her lover's
sword, which she plunges into her
heart. She forgives her lover as
she dies in his arms.

The second act opens with the
dance of the Wilis. The mother's
prophecy comes true and Giselle
becomes a Wili in a formal cere-
mony of recognition by the Queen.
The Wilis are maids who love to
dance and who have died of un-
requited love. They are sworn to
dance all untrue lovers to death,
and they succeeed in killing both
the villian and the duke. Giselle
tries to save her lover from his
fate but when dawn comes she
must return at the queen's order
and leave her lover to die.

Tickets are on sale this week
from members of the Ballet group
and will be sold Saturday at the
door.

May Shelve Alma Mater

Step one toward a possible new alma mater went on the j
books at student meeting Thursday when Student govern- 1

the traditional "When far from the reach" be shelved in
favor of the junior prize- winning song.

Student ballot for the accept-
ance of the proposed changes in

following expressions of disap-
proval from members of several
organizations concerned with the
revision.

The dissenting groups will meet
during this week to discuss sug-
gestions to be presented to the

points committee and the slate of
changes will be brought up for
vote at the next student meeting.

The student body approved
changes in the student ballot call-
ing for the substitution of two
assistant business managers, jun-
iors, for the advertising manager
on both The News and the Sil-
houette.

Students were advised to make
such suggestions as they might
have for rule changes before the

Dr. Miller Leads Dorm Forums;
Chapel Topics Student-Suggested

Centering around a practical inquiry into the fundamentals
of Christianity, Agnes Scott's first post-war Religious Em-
phasis week will begin Monday under leadership of Dr.
Donald G. Miller.

Choosing his topics from questions submitted by the stu-
dent body through Christian as-
sociation, Dr. Miller will speak
at chapel Tuesday on "Who Is
Jesus?" Wednesday, "What Is the
Meaning of Jesus' Life?" Thurs-
day, "What Did Jesus Do?" and
Friday, "What Must I Do to Be
Saved?"

Practical Christianity
"Dr. Miller is planning to pre-
sent these topics on a practical
basis, one that will enable stu-
dents to tie these universal ques-
tions into their individual lives."
Agnes Harnsberger, C. A. presi-
dent said.

Tuesday and Wednesday nights
Dr. Miller will lead dormitory dis-
cussions at 9:30 p. m. in Rebekah
lobby. Inman and Rebekah will
meet Tuesday night and Main and
the cottages Wednesday. A com-
munion service will be held in
Gaines at 7:30 Thursday night.

Dr. Miller has nad experience
as a minister, teacher, and author.
He has held pastorates in Mary-
land and Texas, and has taught
at the Pyengyang Foreign school,
Pyengyang, Korea; in the Biblical
seminary in New York and at the
Lutheran Theological seminary in
Gettysburg, Pa. He is on the fac-
ulty at Union Theological sem-
inary in Richmond, Va.

Dr. Henry Noble MacCracken's
final evening lecture, "Social Life
in the Eighteenth Century J ' to-
night at 8 in Gaines, will culmin-
ate the series given during his
two weeks' visit as guest of the
English department.

There will be two more after-
noon lectures given by Dr. Mac-
Cracken on Thursday and Friday,
Thursday, at 5 p. m. he will read
selections from the old Norse Sa-
gas. Friday at 5 p. m. his subject
will be "Shakespeare's Delight."

In his opening lecture "Litera-
ture and Freedom" Dr. MacCrack-
en stressed that, "literature must
strengthen the heart and must
urge men to action." As examples,
he spoke of the influence of some
of the Slavic writers and political
philosophers of the last century,
especially Tolstoy, Thomas Mas-
seryk, and Sienkiewicz.

During chapel Wednesday Dr.
MacCracken pointed out "Troilus
and Criseyde" as an "ironic
masterpiece" and Chaucer as
above all a humorist and a su-
preme ironist. We are lucky to
have as much oi Chaucer's works
completed as we have, said Dr.
MacCracken, for an "ironist never
finishes anything, there is always
another point of view."

10 O'clock Scholars Bring
Clash: Miss Laney vs. Exec

Milton took a back seat and par-
liamentary law got results in Miss
Emma May Laney's English 211
class last week when the eternal
struggle of classes versus activi-
ties flared again.

For the third Thursday in a
row, the class arrived breathless
and late after student meeting.
Desperate, Miss Laney called a
hastily-organized class meeting,
whose members elected three of
their number "to wait upon the
president of Student Government"
to inform her that student meet-
ings were decimating the ll-to-12
class hour.

The cor...riittee, Nancy Parks,
Mary Price, and Marie Cuthbert-
son, waited upon the president of
student government.

Saturday, members of the class
found the following letter on the

bulletin board.

"Dear Miss Laney and English
211: It was with a great sense of
guilt that we received the com-
mittee from English 211. They
told us of the authority vested En
them by election at a special "class
meeeting." We are fully appre-
ciative of the time and effort that
has been given in order to bring
this matter to our attention.

"We are in full accord with the
suggestions offered by this com-
mittee. We try to plan our meet-
ings so that students will get to
classes on time. However, many
times this democracy of ours is
very unpredictable. We are al-
ways grateful for any sugges-
tions that you or your 'class meet-
ings' have to offer. Sincerely,

Play By Play

By E. Claire Cunningham

The seniors may be having marriage classes, but the body mechan-
ics and rhythm class is one up on them. They are already practicing
for their' wedding. If you don't believe it just drop by the gym any
Saturday morning and you will hear the strains of Lohengrin's Wed-
ding March. The girls will be intently walking slowly to its rhythm
with that rapt glow of expectation on their faces. Of course as the
weeks go by they may be disappointed but Mrs. Lapp points out,
"Keep your eyes on the basketball goal and maybe someday he'U be
waiting for you there." Wonder if they will get certificates entitl-
ing them to a wedding at the end of the course. The class motto is:
"Be Prepared."

Badminton Brings Men
Badminton has become an extra attraction with the addition of
male partners. Randy Hayes made a repeat performance Friday and
brought three friends with him. They are really good ask the
girls who played with them for over three hours, if they are alive
to tell the tale. Anyway, girls, take a tip, practice up on your game
and come on down to the gym.
Some people tell fortunes by cards but did you know that the type
of cards people own is also an index to their character. This start-
ling fact was uncovered when A. A. borrowed some twenty decks for
the benefit bridge. There were the conventional double decks with
flowers on them that someone got for Christmas; then there's the
classic bicycle deck for the veteran players who practice economy.
With the individualist we have the black and white monogrammed
packs that everyone at the table makes, up names to fit. Then there's
the pack pulled out with a grin from the bottom drawer with the
Varga girls on them. These usually prove too distracting to use. A
new type was found this year. They advertised fan belts. Some of the
lenders designate one pack as poker cards and the other as a bridge
deck. Is there a difference, sharks?

One, Two, Three
Counting the people that come to the basketball games is rivaling
the games for interest. Players wondering what all the excitement
is on the side lines find out that another sophomore just came in or
a frosh was spied up in the balcony. 'Someone suggested counting
dates. How about it? Doesn't it show extra class spirit when you
bring a date to a game?
From the practice down at the gym the ballet Saturday night is
really going to be something special. Worn out Wilis are saving that
special kick for Saturday, while Blackfriar members are determined
to learn the dance-drama combination that's so new for most of
them. The men in the cast keep smilling happily about having so
many girls around. They're all working hard enough to make it
worthwhile to be around for the results.

SophsWin,42-27
For Fourth Victory

Juniors Defeat Frosh, 28-23;
Move to Second Place in Race

An undefeated sophomore team added another victory to
their fame as they triumphed over the seniors 42-27 in last
Friday's game. Juniors overcame hardfighting freshmen
28-23.

Seniors started off well by scoring the first goal of the
game. The sophomores quickly re-

turned the goal and from then on
the game moved rapidly with the
sophs scoring two goals for each
one the seniors tossed in. The
seniors seemed to be having some
trouble making their shots go in
while Brannon and Davis dropped
in crip-shots from every angle
Fraser was top scorer for the
sophs with 15 of the 42 points
and Andrews had the high score
of 14 out of the 27 piled up by the
seniors.

Although the juniors lacked
some of their first string they took
the lead in the beginning and kept
it all through the game. Frosh
kept the juniors on their toes
with their fast passing but missed
many of their shots. Humphries
made some pretty dribble-in shots
and scored 15 of the 28 juniors
points. Williamson was top scorer
for the frosh with 13 out of 23.

Mrs. Elizabeth Williams of At-
lanta refereed both games. Mrs.
Williams, the former Elizabeth
Young, is an alumna of Agnes
Scott. She has a national rating
as a basketball official.

Sophs Load For C uj

In the contest for the champ-
ionship cup the undefeated shops
are still on top with four wins.
Juniors have moved up to second
place with two wins, one loss and
one tie. Seniors are third with
one win, two losses, and one tie,
while the frosh trail with four
losses.

Red Faced Georgia ?

The white primary bill is wrong for two reasons.

In the first place it defies, if not the letter of the Constitution
of the United States, the spirit of it. The fifteenth amendment
provides that men may vote regardless of race. If the primary
in the state elects the officers of the state in effect, and the
general election does not, then it is defying the spirit of the
law to prevent the Negro vote in the primary. The Supreme
court has upheld this view in recent cases.

South Carolina, our neighbor who has just passed legis-
lation similar to that which is proposed for Georgia, is al-
ready running into difficulties. Liberal forces all over the
nation have criticized her for her race discrimmination laws;
liberal forces in South Carolina have challenged the legality
of the law. The case for the letter-of-the-law evasion of the
fifteenth amendment goes before the Supreme Court some-
time this year. Must Georgia's face turn as red as her neigh-
bor's?

In the second place the white primary bill is wrong because
it paves the way for graft and corruption in politics if it does
not openly offer an invitation to both. When political ma-
chines are allowed to make their own rules, no one can be
hopelessly optimistic enough to fancy that they will not do
all in their power to see that elections swing their way.

There is a solution which might help at least the consci-
ences of Georgians who would feel bitter indeed if the bill
does pass.

That solution is a second party. Many people feel we have
needed one for years. Under the name of Independent, or
Liberal Democrats it might offset the political wrongs the
bill will make possible.

How can the conscience of any American be salved who
takes the right to vote from another American?

We're Big Girls Now

Maturity is relative.

An Agnes Scott girl may be mature enough to understand
"Areopagitica," and abnormal psychology. She may discuss
intelligently the atomic bomb and the Georgia gubernatorial
problem.

The same girl seems unable to cope with the all-absorb-
ing problem of being quiet during certain hours of the day.

This problem received the attention it deserves at Tues-
day's joint house meeting. The solution which grew out of
the long discussion entails a resumption of the old house-
knock-reminder system with this difference; the individual,
not proctors, will be responsible for the system's effective-
ness.

House knocks are only a crutch, reminders to exuberant
souls that some prefer the "II Penseroso" mood. Of them-
selves they will not banish all the hullabaloo.

Noise during the quiet hour is here to stay as long as we
"mature" college women are cases of arrested development
concerning our dormitory lives. H. G.

An unidentified seeker after
psychological truth drew on the
classroom blackboard a picture
of the professor, consisting of
a circle with two strands of
hair on top. The class waited in
suspense for the entrance of
Professor, Mr. Stukes. Then he
walked in, ambled over to the
black board, picked up an eraser
and erased one of the two
strands of hair and began to call
the roll.

Boyd is worried about its rain
gutter which is inconveniently
stopped up. Mary Gene Sims
wrote to Mrs. Smith the follow-
ing note: Dear Friend, Boyd's
back porch looks like Niagara
Falls. Please come save us, be-
fore we all drown!

Several days, or weeks ago,
Miss Scandrett was attracted by
the calling of her name from out
her bedroom window. "Carrie,
Carrie, you come out from under
dat house," went the voice. Miss
Scandrett went to the window and
saw the Stukes' maid standing
there with arms akimbo calling
over and over, "Carrie Stukes,
you com out from under dat house
dis minute." Finally, Miss Scan-
drett observed Carrie, her name-
sake, come meekly out and trot
home in front of . her escort.

Ann Visor received a letter
from a Spanish friend addressed
to her at Saint Agnes Scott Col-
lege, Decatur, Georgia.

Todd McCain helped entertain
the orphans for Freshman Bible
Class last Saturday. One of the
young charges, gathered around
her, chanced to remark that her
big sister couldn't come there that
day because she went to a picture
show in town. "How old is your
big sister?" questioned Todd. "Oh,
she's real old, " came the answer.
"Older than me?" "Oh, yes. She's
real old," insisted the child.
Whereupon the smaller brother
added with awe. "She's eleven."

Kentuckian
Hits Gab-Lab

(Ed Note: An editorial writer
of the Louisville (Ky.) Courier-
Journal heard about Agnes Scott's
Gab-Lab, pondered, and wasn't
sure he liked it. His editorial ap-
peared in the paper Feb. 6.)

"The One World Idea
and Honey Chile"

"No one can blame the 30 girls
at Agnes Scott college of Decatur
Ga., for wanting to improve their
speech. They have set up a 'Gab-
lab' as a device toward better
speaking habits. In particular,
they want to overcome "exag-
gerated Southern drawls."

"Of course this only adds fuel
to the flames that burn for a one-
w o r 1 d, one-tongue philosophy.
Perhaps it is a good thing. Some-
day, though gab-labs, UNESCO, a
radio in every flat, shack and cave
and perhaps a few more wars,
everybody will be talking pretty
much alike. You-all, tu, vous, lei,
enntah, nay, voce, du, yew, yah,
yeaouh, and yuhwill become'you'
the world over.

"But until that far-off day most
males will retain somewhere in
their hearts a soft spot for that
inimitable creature, the gal with
the Southern drawl. She is the
original honey-dripper, the mem-
ory of soft lights and softer ac-
cents. At her best she has a voice
out of Charleston by way of Vir-
ginia, clear as mountain spring-
water. At her worst she twangs
like a snaggle-stringed gittar,
scattering vowels from here to
yonder. Good or bad as you like it,
the world won't be the same place
without a Southern accent."

By Mary Phylis Bishop

The "Selections from the Hoi-
brook Collection of American
Painting" have drawn much in-
terest and comment from the art
enthusiasts around campus. The
collection in it's entirety was
given to the U. of Ga. by Mr. Hol-
brook, as being representative of
the trends of American art in the
late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The last and most famous of
the American "old masters" was
Inness who painted in the brown,
Victorian rnanner, using simple
landscapes and subdued colors.
Famous Artists

Although Whistler spent only a
short part of his life in this coun-
try, he is well-known for his noc-
turnes. The "Red Rosalie of Lyme
Regise" typifies his technique of
using deep, sombre colors to put
across a tw r ilight mood.

In the painting by A. Wyant,
the French impressionist influence
is apparent.

Sargent was twenty years old
when he came to this country.
His somewhat superficial, though
immensely popular, portrait style
has become a part of historical
American painting.

The Speicher landscape in the
collection shows another side of
artist, who is best known by the
portrait of "Katherine Cornell as
Candida."

Varied Schools

Louis Bosa's spring landscape
is remarkable for it's contrast of
warm and cool colors combined
to give a feeling of the sudden
beauty of spring.

In the abstraction "The League
of Nations" by Arthur Dove, bril-
liant color is found. The practical
application of the artist's idea is
not very clear, although a com-
parison might be drawn between
the League and a herd of ele-
phants, which can be detected
thrashing about in the composi-
tion.

Palmist Reveals Trade Secrets

I5.v Mary Beth Little

Eons ago (pre-neon). Muscles
Caveman, bored while waiting for
a troly, peered at his grimy paw
and was amazed at the maze.
Ever since, people have been fas-
cinated by palmistry. (Even palm
trees probably look at theirs.
Wonder if a palm's palm is as
nice as a date's? Hmmm?)

At any rate, reading hand-lines
has become an occupation as well
as a popular diversion. Vaude-
ville adudiences used to roar at
the fellow who said, "Want your
palm read?" and then sloshed
crimson paint about.

To begin again: for a long time
yciirs truly (if paid duly) has
read palms until she remembers
faces and hand-patterns simultan-
eously. Palmistry is a lot of fun,
revealing, to a certain extent and
useful. But so many are crowding
the act, that 1 might as well cash
in the chips while they're still
good. (Most critics first tried the
creative.)

Anyhow, show me your palm,
and I'll show the tricks of the
trade. Well, I see you are alive.
Yes indceed, you have a life line.
Ah, what's this? A strange hole.
You will have a great tragedy
oh you say you were impaled on
a copy hook? Oh, ah yes, you

have great journalistic talent.
Hmm. You are intelligent; your
line isn't long or deep, but it's
straight. That's reassuring don't
you think. Now to the love life:
you're fickle, but you'll be mar-
ried only once. What, you say you
just married your third? Uh, well
you defied predestination, that's
what you did.

You will travel; see these tiny
lines? You have a fine career line,
long, oh my. it terminates in a
hill indicating criminal tendencies!
Don't worry. It's all in fun. (Hmm,
best keep a close eye on my rings.
Some of these characters!) The
heel of your palm is lined with
high ideals.

Thus you get a brief idea of
trie principles of palmistry. Ser-
iously, there are many character
indicators in the hand, and some
seem true. The personality-index
method is one of the most inter-
esting anyway.

Not so seriously, it's a useful
hobby also. F'rinstancc, if a suitor
asks for your hand, make him
give you his first. Then quickly
check his money, career, and fidel-
ty lines then take or refuse him.
Also it's comforting at times to
ponder your own palm, seeing that
long life line, that marriage cross,
that hill of executive ability.

Both teams won all three de-
cisions in the afternoon rounds.

'Kind Lady 7 Backstage Crew
Battles Production Problems

By Lidie Lee

Blackfriars' technical crews de-
serve a big hand for the job they
are doing on "Kind Lady", ac-
cording to Miss Roberta Winter,
director. The play opening ,n
Presser auditorium Feb. 27 and
28, presents unusual problems for
the backstage workers.

"Kind Lady" has a special pro-
blem for the stage crew because
the action takes place in the
home of a woman whose main in-
terest has been in collecting pre-
cious objects of art. Her home is
jammed full of collectors' items,
which must be duplicated by ihe
crew.

Barnett Designs

Many of the paintings are be-
ing done by the art department.
Papier mache figures are being
made for the statues in the living
room. "Barnett", designer of the
Perry-Mansfield theater camp in
Colorado and of Tulane University
js designing the set.

Stage crew members are Pat-
ty Persohn, chairman, Jane Rush-
in, Harriot t e Winchester, Val
von Lehe, Tilly Alexander. Claire
Kemper, and Mary Elizabeth
Jackson, tryout. The crew has
been working three weeks on the
scenery and decorations. The set
will be put up Monday but must
come down again Friday for the
Claire Tree Major play.

All stage work is under che sup-
pervision of Glenn James of Gc r-

gia Tech.

Joe Ivey and Edgar Momuian
of Atlanta are helping with the
backstage work. Both boys, re-
cent graduates of Commercial
high, have helped with "Pride and
Prejudice," "Hotel Universe", and
"Lady Windermere's Fan."

College To Mark Founder's Day
With 32 Meetings, Radio Skit

"Jesus is flesh and blood man, but he is more than man.
Only by seeking him in the quest of life does man come to
the answer of what Jesus is completely", was Dr. Donald
Miller's answer to the age old question of the nature of Jesus
Discussing the question "Who is Jesus", Dr. Miller began

the first of five special Religious
Emphasis weeek chapels. The week
will come to a climax tomorrow
night with a communion service
in Gaines chapel at 7:30. Dr. Hugh
Bradley, pastor of the Decatur
Presbyterian church, will conduct,
the service.

Dr. Miller spoke in chapel to-
day on "What Did Jesus Do?"

Activities of the week began
Sunday night with a forum dis-
cussing questions of individual
Christianity at vespers. About 35
students participated in the dis-
cussion which was led by Miss
Kathryn Glick, associate professor
of classics.

Dr. Miller will speak to a joint
meeting of freshman and soph-
omore cabinets at 5 p. m. today,
and will conduct another dorm
discussion in Rebekah lobby for
students from Main and the cot-
tages.

Chairman Betzie Powers announc-
ed.

Under the baton of Sam Smith,
the organization is rated at the j nae
top in Atlanta dance music.

Smith was signed last week af-
ter he had refused an invitation
from the Joint committee several
days earlier. Last Wednesday he
telephoned to say he had been
able to rearrange his bookings to
place Agnes Scott on his slate
for March 1.

j Founder's Day plans announced
by the Alumnae office last week
are highlighted by the radio pro-
gram and alumnae meetings m
j cities. The radio skit will be pre-
! sented at 6:30 p. m. Saturday,
Feb. 22, on WSB.

Of special interest in the out
of town club meetings will be Dr. J.
R. McCain's address to the Char-
lotte, N. C. group on Feb. 21, and
Miss Mary Jane King's talk to
the Lynchburg, Va., group on Feb.
23.

Miss King stated that "alum-
will discuss their vocations
and training for it, making reco-
mmendations that may be helpful
for the Alumnae Association's Vo-
cational Guidance program here
on campus. Some clubs will have
members to speak on the value
of liberal arts training as pre-
paration for a career.

Here on campus the Founders
Day motif will be carried out in
Thursday night's dinner.

be responsible for charitable fund-
raising campaigns on campus next
year.

Administrative council ac-

Modern Feb. 22 Spirit Contrasts With Past Colonial Pageantry

By Mary Beth Little

Gone but not forgotten are the
days when powdered wigs, hoop
skirts, and after-dinner minuets
characterized Feb. 22 at Agnes
Scott. This year only a fifteen
minute radio program and a class-
less Saturday will mark the birth-
day of Agnes Scott's founder,
George Washington Scott.

In 1918 Dr. F. H. Gaines, presi-
dent, proclaimed the twenty-sec-
ond a college holiday "not be-
cause of George Washington's
birthday, but because it is our
founder's."

In that year also the banquet
tradition was begun. Thereafter
the senior class elected a George
and Martha Washington, Betsy
Ross, Paul Revere, Daniel Boone,
Patrick Henry, Lafayette, and

similar colonial characters to
reign in the dining halls of both
White House and Rebekah. These
sat at the head table, wore elab-
orate costumes, and made original
rhymed speeches.

Some alumnae who participated
in this type of pageant are Miss
Carrie Scandrett as Betsy Ross,
Mrs. C. G. Stukes and Miss Mar-
garet Ridley as Martha Washing-
ton, and Eleanor Hutchens as
Daniel Boone. Miss Lucile Alex-
ander recalls that athletic awards
were presented one year at the
banquet by a galloping Paul Re-
vere.

1920 originated adjourning af-
ter the banquet to the gym for
a minuet. Dances were also chosen,
and steps were authentic. In 1930,
shortly after the erection of But-
trick, the minuet was presented

I on the quadrangle. Other innova-
j lions of various years were a soph-
omore chorus and junior stunt.
In 1932 the banquet was held in
the gym, with local alumnae and
husbands as special guests.

Wartime costume difficulties
-and the unifying of dining halls
in '43 modified this custom. Now
special campus dinners, alumnae
banquets, occasional teas, and the
annual broadcast honor Colonel
Scott's birthday.

Saturday's broadcast will be the
seventeenth in the Founders Day
history. When WSB had only 5000
watts Agnes Scott was the first
college to present a program on
that station. At first an hour was
granted on Feb. 22. At this time,
in addition to talks by Dr. McCain
'ind Miss Nannette Hopkins, tele-

grams sent by alumnae clubs
scattered over the United States
were read.

Later as radio schedules became
more congested, allotted time was
gradually cut to the present fif-
teen minutes, necessitating less
personalized programs. The col-
lege was unable to obtain time
two years during the war, but
otherwise this has been a long-
standing tradition.

Dr. McCain stated that although
outward celebration of this day
seems quiet compared to former
years it is more in keeping with
Dr. Gaines' original concept. The
"colonial" tangent had tended to
obscure the fact that it is Col
Scott's birthday we celebrate.
Formerly the play was the thing;
now, the spirit.

Christian will be engaged next
summer at Princeton university,
directed toward the discovery and
utilization of atomic products and
processes for peace-time use.

He will be working with $600
worth of a material equivalent in
radioactivity to $1,000,000 worth
of radium. During his stay at Oak
Ridge, Mr. Christian became fam-
il ; ar with the protective health
measures used in working with
radio-active materials.

Finals Set

Badminton doubles tourna-

to select this year's winners will
be played Friday, Feb. 28, at 7:30,

tion is a new one this year. Kem-

seniors, who have been champs
for two years, lost out in an earl-

(Continued from page 1)
lege engineer, is presented w A th
its own peculiar problem. Though
the play takes place on a single
set, subtle changes in the house
as the action moves to a climax
must be gotten by lighting effects
This calls for ingenuity on the
part of Ruth Richardson, chair-
man, and her committee.

Costumes for "Kind Lady" are
being assembled rather than rent-
ed, and though the play is laid in
a modern New York home this
adds an extra burden to the cos-
tume committee.

Music Opens Play

Doris Kissling, however, has
perhaps the strangest preparation
to make. Doris is in charge of
sound effects. Usually this means
door bells to buzz, telephones to
ring, and windows to slam. "Kind
Lady", however, has a prologue
and epilogue which are connect
ed to the main three acts by mood
music. This "bridge" music must
fit into the sinister mood with
which the melodrama opens and
the uncertain mood with which
the third act ends.

Sophs Win 46-26

To Keep Lead

By E. Claire Cunningham

Seniors trounced the frosh and the sophs led the juniors
to defeat in Friday's basketball games.

For awhile the score was very close in the Senior-frosh
fracas, but the seniors scored numerous goals in the third
quarter to put them lar in the lead.

The seniors have the knack of

guarding the tall forwards but
Paschal seems to get away from
everyone and shoots from any-
where. Warlick also played a nice
game with a running dribble sim-
ilar to Bunny Brannon's.

Hough Hits Top
Ann Hough was high scorer for
the seniors with 18 points. The
team work of the seniors is
smooth and fast and keeps the
guard's heads turning. The final
score was 26-36. for the seniors.

Sophs maintained their perfect
record of the season with a 46-26
lead over the juniors. The yellow
suited girls seem to have the
know-how and the stature over
the other teams.

Juniors Threaten

In Friday's game they began
with the lead and kept it through-
out. The closest threat came at
the half when the score was 18-12.
The sophs concentrated on short
shots and passed directly under
the goal.

The juniors tried more long
shots than their opponents. Hum-
phries made some pretty ones to
become high scorer. Soph guards
were temporarily confused when
Cunningham changed from guard
to forward in the second quarter.

EDITORIALS

We Promised

Agnes Scott students are throwing away a record of some
thirty-years' standing.

Here are the facts. Last fall in student meeting we voted
to accept a World Service council budget totalling $2,200,
meaning we voted to pledge about $5 apiece to insure meet
ing the goal. To date, $1,900 has been pledged.

But this is not all. Several students who pledged to give
to the council fund have since refused to meet the entire
pledge, and a few have withdrawn their pledges entirely.
As things look now, council is not counting on collecting
more than about $1,500.

What's happened to Agnes Scott? When did we begin
falling down on the job when we are asked to give to such
organizations as community fund, Red Cross, and World
Student Service Fund? When did Agnes Scott students be-
gin to go back on their word?

Thousands of people who differ from us only in their for-
tunes are in desperate plight this very day because there
is not enough money to buy the necessities of life. Nations,
too, are facing situations just as desperate because there is
not enough money to back the painful, slow task of rebuilding
hope and faith and progressiveness out of ruin.

Giving of money seems, in a way, a cold, indirect sort of
way to help people to whom our hearts go out; but it is the
only effective way open to us as college students in the
United States.

It is not too late to meet that goal. Students before us have
given. Their example calls for it; generosity demands it.

Founder's Day

It's easy to think Agnes Scott always was.

Feb. 22 comes around to remind us that isn't so. Once
upon a time somebody named Col. George Washington Scott
dreamed that there should someday be a girls' college here.
But he did more than just dream; he made his dream come
true.

That dream is easy for us to forget. We don't remember
the effort it was to put Agnes Scott on the firm high ground
where it stands today. We are his dream. It's our turn now
to build on the five ideals.

Feb. 22 is the day to remember. It was the beginning of
Agnes Scott, the beginning of a dream.

This Week Especially

People are criticizing the trend in the United States to-
ward having weeks. Be kind to your neighbor week, pay your
taxes week pretty sad commentary on us, they say, if we
we have to proclaim seven days for doing what we should
do 365 days a year.

Religious Emphasis week at Agnes Scott is different. Dur-
ing this week administration, faculty, and students tradition-
ally set aside other activities to leave time for talks, forums,
and conferences in which we take inventory of our practic-
ing religion.

Nothing we do in every day life would not be better done
with a stronger basis of faith and strength. No one's basis is
as strong as it can be. For one week then, we work to eval-
uate and perfect the faith by which we live all our lives.

formation to fix it. While there
engrossed, the leading man sud-
denly rushed in and confronted
her. "Gotta safety pin? I've gotta
have a pin. Quick, quick, quick,
find me one. Quicjk." "Why?"
questioned Doris calmly finishing
with the shoe lace. "I did a leap."
"Oh," she answered and putting
on her best ballet manner she
glided across the stage to the op-
posite side where she was in hopes
to find the desired necessity.

Soon Doris glided back again
and presented the man with the
pin. "What's that for?" he asked.
"Well, I don't know, I'm sure.
Thought you needed it, though."
"No. No, as a matter of fact,
everything is under control now."
"This is very strange," thought
Doris. "I'm sure he needed this
pin. He said as much."

Then she looked at the "Villain"
of the ballet who smiling remark-
ed, "Oh, I always bring an extra
pair of tights with me."

what happens to absent minded

Giselle 7 Professional
In Dancing, Staging

Critic Cites Technical Skill
In Ballet's Classical Quality

By Ellen Rosenblatt

Contrast in costumes, well exe-
cuted scenery, unusual lighting ef-
fects and a smooth working corps
de ballet rated "Giselle", Agnes
Scott's first full length ballet,
Saturday night "professional*'
with many critics.

Called a vast improvement over
last year's performance, the coor-
dination of the corps made it a
moving part of the ballet. The
technical skill reflected months of
drill required to produce a ballet
of the classical quality of "Gis-
elle."

The professional level was seen
also in the spirit of the group and
the support each member gave.
The highly dramatic mood of the
first act was carried out by Dale
Bennett as Giselle, Bob Haltiwan-
ger as the Duke and Jack Brock
as the villian. The adagio gave
both Giselle and the duke a chance
to support and bring out the out-
standing qualities of the other.

Quite in contrast to the first
scene, the curtain opened on the
second act to reveal a forest at
night with a tall cross in the
background. Mystery and ghost-
liness carried across the footlights
as the Wilis, led by their queen
Mynelle Grove, made their en-
trance. Dolly Cave, who portrayed
Giselle in the second act, helped
to intensify the ethereal qualities

ago to ask the person in the stack
next to her a question. Arriving
there, she found Mary Alice Comp-
ton with a huge history book
opened in front of her and with
a bubble of gum emerging from
the regions of the mouth (The
word "regions" is here used be-
cause through the haze Nelson
was not sure about the facial
anatomy). Now this bubble, as
has been implied, was particular-
ly large and, what was more
alarming to Nelson (and to Mac,
too. if the truth must be known) j
it was continually growing. Fin-
ally, the inevitable occured.

After sufficient emergence from
the catastrophe, Mac explained to
Nelson that she was trying to
learn how to blow bubble gum.

Two seniors and dates made
their exit from the Fox theatre
one evening at 11:25. Going for
the car in the nearby parking lot,
the group was horrified to see the
great numbers of other people
awaiting for cars.

Since only twenty minutes was
left before the girls became cam-
pused for being late, the boys
realized that something must be
done.

The scenery by Miss Priscilla
Lobeck and girls of the art de-
partment deserves special com-
mendation. The ivy-covered cot-
tages in the first act and the
ghostly cross carried out the
moods of the ballet and helped
with the effectiveness of the pro-
duction.

Ga.-Ala. Student Organization
Elects Meadows Secretary

Sixteen representatives of Georgia and Alabama colleges,
meeting Sunday to discuss a constitution for a proposed
National Student Organization, elected Agnes Scott's Jane
Meadows secretary of 3 temporary regional organization
which will work toward the formation of N. S. O. next sum-

mer.

Al Foster, of Emory, presided
at the meeting which was in the
Church School building at Em-
ory. He was one of 375 delegates
to the springboard meeting in
Chicago last Christmas.

At Sunday's meeting 11 colleges
sent students, most of them stu-
dent body presidents: Agnes Scott.

presented, including the Ameri-

the Young People's Socialist Lea-
gue, and American Youth for De-
mocracy. We want the N. S. O. to
be a student movement, not a
youth movement."

If Agnes Scott decides to join
the new organization, she explain-
ed, it would probably replace our
pre-war affiliation with National
Student Federation, which has dis-
solved.

It was decided in Chicago that
the N. S. O. would not affiliate
with the International Union of
Students to which the communist
label has been attached.

Tommy Van Houten, student
council president at Emory, said
Sunday that "as far as they could
tell, no organization was backing
the proposed N. S. O. and it's not
even pink."

Resigns Post
For Research

S. M. Christian, head of the
physics department, will leave Ag-
nes Scott in June to do research
work for the Radio Corporation of
America in Princeton, N. J.
Work With Isotopes

His work will be mainly to adapt
radio-active isotopes, by-products
in the manufacture of the atom
bomb, to use in radio.

Leaving Agnes Scott after his
14 years here was a difficult de-
cision, Mr. Christian said.

"One reason lor my going is
thai 1 want to study and the RCA p
laboratory is like a glorious uni-
versity where you study and study
just what you want to and never
have an exam." he explained.
Reasons For Going

The other deciding factor for
him was his desire "to hasten the
application of atomic energy to
peaceful purposes, the best way to
oppose the military application of
it. Atomic energy will change our
way of life more fundamentally
than the introduction of electric-
ity to civilization."

Mr. Christian has spent the last
two summers doing research for
Die RCA laboratory which, is for
theoretical study rather than pro-
duction.

Social-Li tes

By Mary Brown Mahon

The old school looked very vacant this week-end due to
home-going on our annual Founders' Day holiday. Those who
remained here enjoyed the radio skit by Agnes Scott
Saturday afternoon. A great deal of credit goes to Nellie
Scott and Alice Beardsley for this very successful entertain-
ment.

Friday night the law school at
Emory had a dance at the Shrine
Mosque. Those who attended
Mary Jane Fuller, Caroline
Squires, Ninia Owens, Betty An-
drews, and Lucy Mohr. The same
night at the Emory Med banquet
and dance were Margaret Mc-
Manus and Glassell Beale. This
was sort of a farewell affair given
in honor of the graduating Med
students.

Ship Ahoy!!

Sigma Chi sailors at Tech had
their gals aboard the S. S. Joy
(better known as the Sigma Chi
house) Saturday night. Agnes
Scott gals who went on the cruise
were Billie Powell, Newell Tur-

visiting her for the week-end.

It was good to see "Scottie"
Scott, last year's graduate, here
visiting in Main for the week-end.
Everybody was also glad to see
Ginny Skinner back, spending the
week-end with Gene Akin. It is
hoped by all that she will be back
next year. Lee Cousar's mother
was here, and B. J. Ellison and
Susan Neville had visitors.

And those men Valeria Brown's

Nan Nettles Plus Piano
Equal A. S. C. Song Hits

By Mac Compton

To most of us Nan Nettles means music most any way you
write it, but especially in the form of two school classics
''What We've Got v and the Junior Alma Mater.

"I improvise all the time/' says Nan, "but I never write
anything down except when I have a definite purpose, and
that's only been twice." These two
purposes were desperation, for
when in 1944 the freshmen were
wondering frantically what they
could have for Black Cat, Nan
came up with the music for what
is now the Junior Alma Mater.
Then several weeks ago when
junior spirits were at their lowest
over the song contest, Nan wrote
more music this time "What
We've Got".

Nan has been playing the piano
and improvising practically all of
her life, but she's taken music
for only the last 5 years.

Music is her life, for even that
beloved American tradition the
radio, means to Nan only a way
to hear operas and symphonies.
"I'm having a musical education
forced on me," said her roommate,
who'd been listening half heart-
ly to the conversation. She slyly
turned the knob to hear Perry
Como.

Besides the improvisation tal-
ent, Nan has perfect pitch. "The
sounds from my above neighbors,"
Nan added, "aren't notes, they're
noise. rT

But even a musician is normal
and has to eat. Maybe it's the
artistic temperament, but Nan is
practically a vegetarian. Prefer-
ences are salads and banana splits.

Daytime delights are spasomo-
tic knitting (a sweater may be

Mrs. Fox Tells Marriage Class
Slim Purse Shapes Budget

BY MARY FRANCES ANDERSON

*G course everyone of you will probably marry a Texas
oil millionaire, but then, his wells just might run dry," be-
gan Mrs. Mary Walker Fox in her discussioa of budgeting at
marriage class Wednesday, Feb. 19.

Mrs. Fox, who is Lida Walker's sister, gave as a prelim-
inary to her discussion some ad

vice on the attitude with which to
face the financial aspect of mar-
riage. Of prime importance, she
said, is the realization that the
pampered daughter's extravagan-
ces must be trimmed to fit the
young wife's slim purse. This ad-
justment is the first hurdle; others
come easier.

The budget which Mrs. Fox pre-
sented was one which she and
her husband had tried and proved
themselves. She advised, how-
ever, that there be a capital of
at least $500 in the bank first
to fall back on in case of emer-
gency!

She based her budget on $300
a month. Out of this she allowed
$118.75 for invariables such as
rent, life and fire insurance, and
social security. For variables such
as food, clothing, laundry, and
home operating expenses she al-
lowed $95.75.

For miscellaneous items such as
husband's allowance, doctor's bills,
entertainment, gifts, etc. she al-
lowed $75.

"The most d e 1 1 g h tf u I thing
about this budget'', concluded Mrs.
Fox with a twinkle in her eye,
"is the fact that you come out
with the huge sum of $5.25 left
over at the end. That's when it
begins to be fun."

Play By Play

By Lidic Lee

-Atmosphere in The News offices this week is decidedly on the fog-
gy side. Everyone is weeping over swan songs and we're no except-
ion. As the last paper goes to press it's time to take a glance over the
headlines for the last two quarters and to make a few predictions
about the quarter to come.

Sophs On Top

Looking back over the year's record we find sophs winning not
only in basketball but also in hockey. Jean Fraser won the coveted
hockey stick. The stick is awarded to the sophomore who has shown
the most skill and improvement in the use of the stick for the year.
Seniors Ann Hough and Betty Andrews, won the tennis cup for
the tennis doubles tournament. This was the third championship
for the two girls who have been tops since their sophomore year.
Betty Andrews was named top rider of the year when she won
the championship cup for expert horsemanship in the fall horse
show. Harriet Lurton, sophomore, was runner up.

Sophs nudged the juniors out by one point to win the only of-
ficial swim meet of the year, and A. A. raised over $30 in a benefit
bridge to hire extra referees for the basketball games.

Badminton Doubles
Emory experts gave pointers to badminton players in the gym.
As the paper goes to press Jackie Stewart and Emily Wright are
practicing to meet Claire Kemper and Ginny Andrews in the
badminton doubles finals. The match will be played between the
halves at the varsity sub-varsity games.

Big headline for the members of Outing club was their morning
hike to Atlanta for breakfast. Weather hit a low of 24 degrees
that morning, much to the hikers dismay.

Looking Ahead

Looking ahead into next quarter we have a full schedule for
athletic minded students.

Golf enthusiasts will be spread out over the city's golf courses
when spring weather comes. Harold Sargent, East Lake pro, who
has taught Agnes Scott girls the finer points of the game for years
will be on campus again this year. He will give instructions Monday
from 4 to 6 p. m.

Swimming classes for spring quarter offered by the Physical
Education department will include an instructors' life saving class.
To qualify girls must be 19 years old and must have a current
senior life saving certificate.

Team sport for the season is volley ball with a large crowd ex-
pected out for class teams. Riding, archery and tennis will also be
offered.

May Day High Spot

May Day will be the high spot on the gym calendar for spring
quarter. Girls interested in dancing or tumbling are asked to sign
up for this activity.

It's hard to write this last column and look ahead to things we'll
no longer be reporting on. Since this is our last chance to put our
two cents worth we'd like to finish up with a few predictions.

A Few Predictions
We'd like to nominate the sophs as the top athletes of the year.
If they keep on with the spunk and skill they've shown during the
last two quarters they should win the volley ball cup as well as the
basketball and hockey awards. Betty Andrews wins our nomination for
top athlete of the year, with Ann Hough a close second. Both girls
by the way are in May Court this year. E. Claire Cunningham and I
are fighting it out for the best sport's columnist of the year.

Coeds Purr

At E

mory

Eight attractive girls are sitting
at dinner in Agnes Scott's din-
ing room, surrounded by the sub-
tle air of gracious living.

There is a lull in the conversa-
tion and one of the eight wear-
ing a more battered but enlighten-
ed look than the others sees her
chance.

. "Let me tell you all," she be-
gins eagerly, "what happened over
at Emory today "

Reaction is instantaneous. "Oh,
no, not again," says one. "Heard
about it at lunch and breakfast,"
says another. "Don't you people
ever change the subject?"

One by one they make their
escape, leaving a sole convert who
leans forward eargerly herself and
begs to hear the latest from the
world where you have 10 minutes
between classes and go to school
with men.

Emory's co-eds from Agnes
Scott, most of them seeking
learning's extras in journalism,
psychology, and business live a
hard life and love it. We're always
out of breath and we have to turn
on split personalities twice a day
but we would miss it terribly if
we lost our co-ed status.

It takes a lot of courage. We
must face the mad dash to the
bus stop, plus learning to put on
lipstick on the way; we must face
shoving our way into the bus
amongst an entire grammar-
school population, and then get-
ting off feeling like so much Col-
gate's toothpaste out of the tube.
We have had to learn the gentle
art of standing on a corner and
looking pitiful ladies don't hitch-
hike.

And by now, we are resigned to
having to defend Agnes Scott at
every turn against the cracks of
Emory students whose social ex-
perience has obviously been limit-
ed. From the faculty on down, at
Emory, the idea seems to be that
an Agnes Scott girls must be
either (1) carefully shielded from
the realities of life, or (2) told
the realities o life.

At Agnes Scott we are consid-
ered slightly wicked for venturing
willingly so far from the reach
of the sheltering arms every
day. They're tired of hearing us
brag about our alma mater, but
we have to keep telling them Em-
ory men really are gentlemen.
We've known that ever since we
used the public phone in the lib- j
rary basement. After a battle with |
our conscience, we finally opened
our eyes to see what was on the
wall of the booth: not a thing,
it wouldn't do for an Agnes Scott
girl to see!

Radio Hookup
Unlikely McCain

Agnes Scott's hookup with the
proposed Decatur radio station of
E. D. Rivers, Jr., was dismissed
as unlikely by President J. R.
McCain this week.

"We are not able to have any
part in a venture which is not def-
inite, whose sponsorship we do not
fully understand," he declared.

In discussing River's proposal,
Dr. McCain stressed that he has
never presented the plans in writ-
ing. "Should the radio suggest-
ion develop on a sound basis we
would doubtless be able to coop-
erate", he added.

Under the present circum-
stances he said, "We aren't able
to say yea or nay."

A few of the many aims adopt-
ed for the organization include:

(1) A student employment cen-
ter.

(2) A commission to investigate
curricula and teaching methods,
and to give its findings wide pub-
licity.

(3) To encourage an active par-
ticipation in government and an
exercise of all civil rights.

(4) To secure for all people
equal opportunities for education
regardless of sex, race, or religion.

In presenting the sultans in
chapel this morning seniors feat-
ured a bridge game in a harem.
Juniors had their sultan emerg-
ing from an express package sent
by an archeologist uncle. In a
dream sequence the sophomore
with her genie's help chose her
sultan. And the freshman sultan
was introduced with a song to
the tune of Minagua Nicaragua.

Senior Allen , junior Dab-
ney Adams, soph Dot Porter, and
Margie Major, frosh, directed the
presentation skits. Jane Barker,
junior, had charge of the entire
presentation.

they brush up mildly on their art

Brannon Claims
Year's High Score

Sophomores took top honors
Friday with the close of the bas-
ketball season. Unbeaten champs
for the '47 season, they also boast-
ed highest number of team mem-
bers to make var si ty-subr varsity
teams. Bunny Brannon, sophomore
forward, was top scorer for the
year with 80 points.

Eight sophs made the two var-
sity teams to beat seniors who
had seven team members of var-
sity calibre. Juniors had five mem-
bers on the two teams, and fresh-
men trailed with three.

Seniors Tops On Varsity

Seniors placed five members on
the varsity, topping sophs who
had four varsity and four sub-
varsity members. Juniors had three
sub-varsity members. Juniors had
three members on the varsity,
while frosh failed to put a single
girl on the top team.

Jean Fraser, top scorer last year
was a near winner with 74 points
this year she tied with senior Ann
Hough for second place.

Last games of the season were
thrillers. The seniors won over
the juniors 40-27. This broke a
previous tie score in their only
other clash of the season. Sophs
claimed victory over a hard fight-
ing freshman team .9-27.

Sophs, who won the basketball
championship for the second time,
were undefeated this year. Sen-
iors copped second place with
three wins and one tie. Juniors
came in third with two wins and
one tie. Juniors came in third with
two wins and one tie. Frosh trail-
ed with six losses.

Wheel to Pick
Girl of Week

Why aspire to the cover of Vo-
gue if by sticking around A. S. C.
you may get picked Wheel Girl
of the Week? Some appealing
damsel will bear the title each
week beginning next Monday.

A green eyeshade with white
lettering will be the sign.

A discerning male, namely re-
porter from the Emory Wheel,
will be the judge who crowns or
eyeshades.

Who gets crowned? Any Agnes
Scott girl who is the reporter's
ideal of beautiful, delectable,
charming and gracious femininity,
and happens to come into the line
of vision of said Wheel man as he
strolls about the campus every
Monday with eyes wide open.

With the title comes a picture
in the Wheel and perhaps in the
News besides the honor of wear-
ing the green eyeshade, symbol of
fame, all day after the crowning.
At the end of the quarter, the
Wheel staff will crown a queen for
the year from the bevy of beau-
ties-of-the-week.

A different reporter will judge
each Monday so that every type
of beauty can have its day or
Monday. On the comittee in charge
of the Wheel-girl project are Rob-
ert Marker, Worth McDougald.
Tom Fulton, and Moffett Ken-
drick.

"This will not be a cheese-cake
contest," Moffett explained, "the
choice will be based on character
and intelligence as well as beau-
ty."

Rumors Fly

Faculty Shot by 'Shellbound'

By Lee Cousar

From whence have come these
strange rumors that we've been
hearing? Could they really be
true? One student reported that
she actually heard harmonious
notes just plain notes, maybe
of masculine voices from Mr. John-
son's studio. Can you imagine
masculine! And the odd thing was
that they sounded vaguely famil-
iar.

Then there was that strange oc-
currence last Thursday night. A
student who was in Presser at
about 8 o'clock that night solemn-
ly vows that she saw Miss Gay-
lord, Miss Barineau, and Mr. For-
man on their knees on the stage of

Gaines chapel beating on the floor
with hammers. Could be that
they've found a new way to give
vent to the feelings aroused in
the classroom! Most unbelieva-
ble, is the senior's report (certain-
ly we can trust a senior) of
seeing Miss Winter with her hand
placed over Mr. Posey's dia-
phragm, while he panted those fa-
miliar-to-speech-students sounds
of "oh-oh-oh-ah-ah-ah." The digni-
fied Mr. Posey!

If you try to guess from these
incidents exactly what is happen-
ing you might guess wrong, so,
maybe we'd better tell you. It's
the faculty stunt, "Shellbound."

Exhibit Feature
Latin-America

The Latin American Exhibit
being shown in Buttrick Hall
April 1-15 is the work of Carlos
Meridas, representing the modern
movement in South America and
Roberto Montenegro, illustrator
and fresco artist. The works in
the exhibit are loaned by the Pan-
American Union in Washington,
D. C.

Born in Guatemala, Carlos Mer-
ida studied in Paris and then re-
turned home to begin experiments
with painting based on Indian art.
The results are evident in these
selections from the "Popol-Vuh'\
interpretations of the Mayan leg-
ends.

Parts of the "Sacred Book of
the Quiche" are exhibited beneath
each picture suggesting folk tales
and myths which survived the
Spanish conquest. Merida has
been ranked as the most abstract
of South American artists.

Roberto Montenegro organized
the Museo de Artes Populares in
Mexico. His lithographs of Taxco
scenes are illustrative of the old-
world charm found in the winding
streets and the Spanish grandeur
of the cathedral ip this little town
south of the border.

For Thursday Night

Eleanor Steber, famed soprano
star of the Metropolitan Opera as-
sociation, will appear in Presser
hall tomorrow evening at 8:30.

The program is sponsored by the
Decatur Junior Service League.
Proceeds will go to the DeKalb
County Clinic.

Singing on the radio, in record-
ings, and on the opera and concert
stage, Miss Steber has been ac-
claimed a brilliant artist.

Some balcony tickets are availa-
ble to members of the Agnes Scott
community, Miss Margaret Ridley,
of the English department, an-
nounced. Miss Ridley is in charge
of the tickets.

'Shellbound'

(Continued from page 1)

to be presented at 8 p. m. April
12 in Gaines. According to Dir-
ector Winter, "Shellbound" is to
be a "double exposure" of college
life, presenting not only a picture
of the harassed teacher but also
a picture of the toil-worn student.

The cast and all the various
production departments have been
most helpful, according to Miss
Winter, with one exception. An
assistant director, Miss Carrie
Scandrett, was appointed to re-
ceive all complaints, failings, and
excuses of the production crew;
but, according to the high author-
ity, the assistant director left the
campus for a visit almost as soon
as she heard of her appointment
Things like that shorten a direc-
tor's life.

A shroud of mystery continues
to envelop the characters and the
costuming. The stunt is being put
on by practically everyone on the
campus who is not a student.

Knowing- our faculty, we can't
help feeling that we have a rare
evening's entertainment ahead. To
coin a phrase, "Shellbound" should
really spellbound.

On The Ball

By Ginny Andrews

A new quarter is beginning,
some new sports are beginning,
and a new sports editor is begin-
ning one that is as green as the
grass on the hockey field, too. It's
going to be hard to keep up with
Lidie's swell "Play by Play" de-
scription of events down at the
gym, but we'll get on the ball and
see what happens.

Spring sports have really be-
gun in their usual breezy March
way. You can tell that by the way
archery enthusiasts have been
shooting around the hockey field
hither and yon collecting stray
arrows, and the way those fran-
tic tennis players have been chas-
ing after stray balls.

You can tell it's spring too, by
the constant stream of gals at-
tired in blue jeans and jodphurs
edging their way down to the
horses and the ring. Even the old
mailroom in Buttrick is getting a
taste of the spring sports as a
gym-suit clad brigade firmly
marches through it on their way
to the new volleyball courts be-
hind Rebekah.

May Day practices are a further
note that^ Spring's here. From
time to time we've been hearing
strange bits of conversation like,
"I'm a Mayor, what are you, a
pickpocket?" or, "Where's your
sword, let's fight!" or, "Who's the
dragon?" Dire predictions of
things to be, no doubt.

Along with Spring the new A.
A. Board comes in. Congratula-
tions Sheely and Tuck, we know
you'll be grand, keep up the good
work and have fun, too.

We'll end with a serious note
from the pool room. Seems as if
some beginner jumped into tread
water with the best of 'em when
the instructor said 'go.' As the
startled instructor fished up the
blue and gasping beginner from
the bottom of the pool, she gulp-
ed a couple of times and finally
blurted out, "Sorry, I missed the
first two lessons!" Moral: or is
that really necessary?

"Spring is sprung" and if the
weather isn't sufficient proof, the
activities at the Gym certainly
are. Sports enthusiasts are eager-
ly whipping up the spring season
sports to a good start with golf,
tennis, and riding claiming the
spotlight on the calendar.

Golfers are getting instruction
each Monday afternoon either
from Harold Seargent, pro at
East Lake club, or Miss Llewellyn
Wilburn, gym director. Beginning
students are seen practicing on the
hockey field almost every other
day while the advanced students
are going each week to neighbor-
ing courses which include Forest
Hill, Avondale Country club, and
North Fulton Park. This is the
first time Agnes Scott girls have
had access to the North Fulton
course, a promising note in pre-
dicting the success of the season.
The invitation provided for unlim-
ited use without charge.

Tennis players as well as arch-
ers have been battling with March
winds, but already Mrs. James Til-
den, instructor, has succeeded in
dividing her classes into small
working groups. The emphasis
for the first part of the quarter
will be on technique and practice
of serves and strokes. Games are
slated for the latter part of the
quarter.

Horseback riders have already
donned the riding togs and are fast
becoming friends with the eight
horses down at the stables. Mrs.
Adolph Lapp is teaching classes
daily and Riding Club is function-
ing again. Gene Goode, riding
manager, announced that tryouts
for club membership will be held
sometime within the next two
weeks.

Badminton Singles

The badminton singles tourn-
ament has been held over from
the Winter Quarter sports to
be completed within the next
two weeks, says Ginny Andrews,
badminton manager. The tourn-
ament had reached approximate-
ly the third bracket before it
had to be postponed for exams
and Spring holidays.

Contestents are to play off
one game a week and to de-
fault if unable to play off the
match. Be sure to sign up the
matches o n the tournament
brackets promptly.

A. A. Delegations
Attend National
Convention in April

Athletic Association is sending
delegates to the National and
State Athletic meetings for wo-
men colleges to be held this
month.

The National Convention is to
be held at Greensboro, North Car-
olina, April 18-19. Virginia Tucker,
the new vice-President of A. A.,
and Jean Fraser have been chosen
to represent Agnes Scott.

The State convention will be at
Georgia State Woman's College,
Valdosta, Georgia on April 25 and
26. Sheely Little, incoming Presi-
dent of A. A., and Eclaire Cun-
ningham will be delegates to this
meeting and will present a paper
on the value of awards in Com-
petitive sports.

New A. A. Officers Plan
For Big Athetics Year

Sheely Little and Virginia Tuck-
er, new A. A. president and vice-
president respectively, are ath-
letes from way back, according to
their modest remarks to ye olde
sports reporter. Both come from
athletically minded families who
have taught their daughters and
little sisters "sports" from the
cradle up.

Sheely hails from Hickory,
North Carolina, where she has
^'palled" around with two of her
older brothers ever since she can
remember. In high school Shee-
ly liked swimming and tennis
more than any other sport,
while at Agnes Scott she likes
hockey best. Since she has been
at Scott she has represented her
class in all the swimming meets,
played basketball, and has served
on Athletic Board as freshmen
representative, publicity manager,
and secretary.

"Tuck" is from Alexanderia, Vir-
ginia, and is a member of a camp-
ing family. For the past two 1
years she has been councillor
at Bridewood Camp, Black

Mountain, North Carolina. She
would rather ride than eat, some-
times anyway, and has a particu-
larly warm spot in her heart for
archery, hockey, and volleyball. As
a member of A. A. Board, Tuck
has been archery manager and
treasurer.

The two new officers have big
plans in store for A. A. next year.
Both are determined to make the
campus "take note" oQ A. A. and
predicting from their past records
there will be no limit to their
success.

Volleyball Forecasted

Class Teams Lined up
Frosh, the Dark Horse

The biggest spring sport, vol-
leyball, will speed into action Fri-
day, April 4, at 4 p. m. Frosh will
fight seniors in the first game,
immediately followed by the sopho-
more-junior game.

Vannesse Orr, who succeeds
Cookie Miller as school volleyball
manager, says the spring program
has some thrilling games lined
up. Mac Craig has a senior team
all ready and "rarin' " to go." The
juniors plan to "pack a wallop"
led by their new manager, Doc
Dunn, while Gladys Merck leads
the enthusiastic sophs into a bang-
up season. Everyone is waiting im-
patiently to see the challenging
frosh in action. Jane Sharkey, who
is the frosh manager, was very
active in high school sports at
Girl's High in Atlanta. She play-
ed on the varsity volleyball team
and was captain of the basket-
ball team. She has also won sev-
eral golf tournaments and is a re-
putedly good swimmer. Barbara
Lawson, our Canal Zone frosh,
also offers some stiff volleyball
competition to the upper classes.

New volleyball courts have been
put up in back of Rebekah Scott
in the place where the old tennis
courts use to be. ''The new locat-
ion is a good change and ought to
attract more spectators," says
Kagie Johnson. Eclaire Cuning-
ham added, 'With the nets one-
half foot higher, they won't sag;
this new place should save the
hockey field too." Van Orr says

that they will decide what type
of serving, roving or rotating, they
will use before each game as they
did last year. At the end of the
season, instead of the varsity team
playing the sub-varsity, the com-
bined sister class teams will play
each other.

Last year there was no senior
team and the other three classes
tied for first place, each winning
two games. So all in all this sea-

Surprise Visitor
Cotter's Saturday afternoon:
Your editor is in one bed and your
columnist is in the other, ungra-
ciously forcing Pagie Violette to
be standing in the middle of the
floor. Incidentally, Pagie is not
quite dressed for callers, shall we
sy.

A knock is heard. "Come in"
rings out a sw r eet treble. Another
knock. "Come in" rings out an-
other sweet treble. "It's the car-
penter," tenors a slightly coy tone
through the crack. "O. K.", is the
answer.

A frantic look; a mad dash; a
body somehow squeezed into a
closet which is really too small for
coathangers' width. The carpen-
ter shuffles in, moves a quickly-va-
cated bed, props up a step-ladder,
and repairs the ceiling. He says a
perfectly innocent thing which in
a giggley frame of mind is easily
misconstrued into cause for fresh
gales, miserably muffled in a pillow
of the unmoved bed. Bedspring-
shaking laughter; a tapping ham-
mer; hacking suffocation in the
closet.

At long last the carpenter am-
bles out with pleasant apologies
and well wishes, the two sitting
on the bed collapse ribs splitting,
and the gasping victim staggers
from the closet ,in the last stages
of purple apoplexy. P. S. Some-
how we're still good friends.
Chevrolet* for Students
Prediction of the week: I predict
that people are going to use more

Pepsodent than ever . . . AND, I
predict that just as- blue horse
wrapper cooperation has given Ag-
nes Scott a fleet of bicycles, so
Pepsodent box tops and bottoms
cooperation is going to furnish the
college with a Chevrolet or two! .

Actually, don't you think there
are more teeth-brushers than
rhymers? Therefore, since Pep-
sodent is giving away four Chevro-
lets a week, and all college girls
brush their teeth twice a day, and
the more cars there are on cam-
pus the more people can ride to
town, wouldn't it be a good idea to
send in as many couplets as possi-
ble?

A practical suggestion therefore
(not sales-talkirrg or anything like
that, of course) would be to en-
courage all students who use Pep-
sodent (small sizes mean more
tops) to put all tops and bottoms
in a box in the mail room and to
write "My favorite brunettes" in
class instead of doodling. Then
when a person has an entry she
applies to the News for tops. Cou-
plet will not be read so don't be
shy.

No strings to this ofler; only a
bit of red tape.

Poets must furnish own postage,
and the cars must be used unsel-
fishly for the joy of tops-contribu-
tors. That's all. Sounds easy,
doesn't it? At any rate, faint heart
never won fair buggy. And we're
serious.

clothes, you say? What goes on?
You don't mean we have a wash-
ing machine! Well, aren't we do-
mestic though!

Yes, along with the blossoms,
buds, and "boids" has come a
brand, new, shiny washing ma-
chine, streamlined model that
washes away our Monday blues
(and greys).

Some bright soul, midst her
friends' groans on a typical laun-
dry night, dreamed up the idea
of washing machine joys on cam-
pus, and suggested it to Student
Government. The suggestion be-
came a debate, the debate, be-
came an order at Rich's and pres-
to! we have our lovely time-saver.

Unfortunately, the manipula-
tion of our prize is not quite so*
simple, but Student Government
trusts (with a mercenary eye) that
practice will make perfect. You.
are cordially requested to deposit
ten cents with each attempt. One
precaution is necessary "No
homemade soap, please." Perhaps
even this warning is needless, for
we all know that "Duz does every-
thing". (Note: This is not a paid
advertisement.).

"The development of charming personalities with such
qualities as attractive appearance, poise, dignity" is not
a statement from the Stevens publicity catalog but a phrase
from the Agnes Scott Ideal. The war years made the fourth
ideal a myth and gracious living faded out with nylons and
dates.

With the year's supply of date slips used up in a month,
with parties and seated meals again the order of the day
signs of the times have changed. Climaxing this about-face
is the addition to the student ballot of social standards chair-
man.

Social standards is now recognized as essential to carry
out the ideals of the college. Every other important organ-
ization has a theme and a policy; so should social standards.

There is a real need to be able to entertain as in our own
homes. Social life on campus even without wartime re-
strictions is limited to asking guests out to major events
like Black Cat, Junior Joint and May Day.

A series of entertainments planned for once or twice a
month with every girl on campus given a chance to learn
a bit of gracious living first hand would fill the bill.

Pink Suspenders?

Voting machines would not improve upon the new sys-
tem.

Elections, which usually drag out to be the most dreaded
chapels of the year, seem to have had the pain and the con-
fusion miraculously removed this time.

It was a miracle which sprang directly from a well-thought-
out plan, hard work, and a good job of organizing by student
government and the last year's officers who helped in the
election procedure.

Other phases of the election seemed to be remarkably well
organized too, even more surprisingly and not so commenda-
bly.

Agnes Scott has a tradition about eFections, that they
should be as disinterested as possible, based on merit instead
of personality. Such a tradition pre-supposes no running for
office, log-rolling, political rallies or any other form or pol-
iticking by a candidate or her friends.

Getting excited about elections is a good sign. It indicates
that people care. Log-rolling indicates that a few individuals
care very much while others care not at alL

Let's not leave ourselves open to accusations that we wear

ASC Team
In Big Ten

Agnes Scott's affirmative debat-
ing team captured ninth place in
the Big Ten rating at the Grand
National Tournament, Mary Wash-
ington College, Fredericksburg,
Va., last weekend.

The affirmative, composed of
Betzie Powers and Clarkie Rogers,
was the only woman's team, except
the champions, Mars Hill, to place
in the Big Ten.

The University of Pittsburg won
the Men's National Championship.

B. J. Brown and Dot Porter de-
fended the negative, winning five
out of eight rounds. The affirma-
tive won six.

Competing in the tournament
were 83 teams from colleges scat-
tered from Seattle College, Wash-
ington, to the University of Flor-
ida. Utah, Oregon, North Dakota,
and Kansas were represented.

The affirmative debated Waynes-
burg College, Pennsylvania, Grove
City, North Carolina, University
of North Carolina, Penn. State,
Maryville College, Tennessee,
Wayne College, Detroit, the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, and Tu-
lane.

Pitted .against the negative t were
Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, ' the
University of Chicago, University
of Pittsburg, Illinois State, North
Carolina State Teachers College,
Mars Hill, North Carolina, Penn
State and North Dakota.

Lasting three days, the Grand
National included poetry reading,
extempore speaking, rejoinder, and
dinner speeches as well as debat-
ing.

Other tournaments in which Pi
Alphi Phi teams have debated are
Emory in February and the AH
Southern Intercollegiate Tourna-
ment sponsored by the club in the
fall. At the Emory tourney Agnes
Scott placed first and third.

Already plans are being made
for a tri-school debate with Emory,

People Unite
With Interest,
Dr. H.White

"An interest, to be good, must
be something you care about with-
out an ulterior motive," Dr. Helen
C. White, English professor from
the University of Wisconsin, as-
serted in a lecture in MacLean
Monday afternoon.

Dr. White, a member of the Uni-
ted States commission to UNESCO
and lecturer, explained that since
both material wealth and achieve-
ment are on a precarious basis to-
day, the only good bet is to. choose
an interest from within one, as an
end in itself, not as a step in any
direction.

Although she advocated the de-
velopment of several different in-
terests, Dr. White advised for ev-
eryone a basic one, which "should
wear well," and act as focal point.

Her experience in UNESCO, Dr.
White said, has proved that "the
great interests the pursuit of wis-
dom, the conquest of knowledge,
and the quest for beauty bind
people together."

Dr. White, a member of the Phi
Beta Kappa senate, spoke on "The
Expanding Function of Women in
the Modern World", at the Phi
Beta Kappa announcement service
in chapel this morning.

Her two lectures, Tuesday
morning and Tuesday night, were
on literature. Dr. White's final
lecture, "Re-education in Ger-
many", will be in MacLean this
afternoon at 4:45. Her stay here
has been sponsored by the English
department.

Mortar Board Names
13 Members, President

Mortar Board announced 13 new members at their annual
chapel service April 3. Anne Page Violette was named pre-
sident of the organization for next year.

Other new members are Dabney Adams, Amelia Davis,
Adele Dieckmann, Pris Hatch, Mary Beth Little, Mary
Sheely Little, Lou McLaurin, Ruth

Bastin S 1 e n t z, Virginia Tucker,
Lida Walker, Margaret Yancey,
and Marian Yancey.

Dr. Leroy Loemker, dean of
the Graduate School and profes-
sor of philosophy at Emory, spoke
at the service on scholarship, one
of the bases for membership in
Mortar Board.

"Scholarship should stimulate
the divine potentialities of man,"
he said, "because it gives one a
mastery of the tools, of intellect,

criticism and understanding."

Dr. Loemker defined a scholar
as a "man thinking," and an ideal
scholar as one who seeks actively
and creatively.

New Mortar Board members
were formally initiated Thursday
afternoon and were honor guests
at a banquet in the tea house
Thursday evening.

Qualification for Mortar Board
membership is based on leadership,
scholarship, and service to the
college.

Students Await Sheilbound

AlumnaeGive
Science Talks

"Women in the World of Mod-
ern Science" will be the subject
of the alumnae vocational guidance
talk at 4 p. m. Tuesday in the
McKinney room.

The discussion will include var-
ious careers in science, graduate
study and opportunities for re-
search.

Alumnae who will lead the dis-
cussion are Miss Evangeline Papa-
george, assistant professor of bio-
chemistry in the Medical and
Graduate Schools at Emory and
Mrs. Eloise Lyndon Rudy, a lab-
oratory technician for the Kraft
Foods cooperation.

Miss Papageorge has her Ph. D.
from the University of Michigan
and has done post-doctorate work
at Yale as a Sterling Fellow. She
particularly recommends the U.
S. Public Health Service for
science majors, pointing out that
there are openings in bio-chemis-
try, nutrition, bacteriology, par-
isitology, nursing and other fields.

Mrs. Poidy has worked in the
Thermometry laboratory of the
National Bureau of Standards and
now analyzes dairy products. Her
special field is physics, and she
suggests work in government
bureaus, private industry, and in
schools.

Students Approve
Lower House Plan

Students voted unanimously to
incorporate into the constitution a
new plan for Lower House in a
student meeting Friday.

This plan, which has been on
trial since fall, includes the follow-
ing revisions: that Lower House
be made up of one representative
from each dormitory hall, one rep-
resentative from each cottage, and
a day student representative from
each class. The boarding students
will be nominated in hall meetings
and voted on by secret ballot in
student meeting.

Under this new plan, Lower
House meets at least twice each
month; one of these meetings will
be with the Executive committee.

The students then voted that a
letter be sent to Congress advo-
cating statehood for Hawaii. It
was suggested that the students
did not know enough about the is-
sue to vote, so the former motion
was resent. This was voted on, but
the vote failed.

Dexter, Omwake Attend
Convention In St. Louis

Miss Katherine T. Omwake and
Miss Emily S. Dexter, associate
professors of Psychology and Edu-
cation, attended the meeting of
the Southern Society for Philoso-
phy and Psychology in St. Louis
last week.

Miss Omwake, treasurer of the
Society, made a report at the
council meeting. All officers are
automatically members of Council,
ruling body of the organization.
Until recent years Miss Dexter
was a memben of the Council.

Faculty Mystery Production
Slated For 8 P. M. Saturday

Charlsie Smith

A galaxy of faculty stars will present the dramatic pro-
duction of the year Saturday at 8 p. m. in Presser hall. The
presentation of "Sheilbound," a benefit production for
World Service council, will end the suspense and specula-
tion in which the mystery play has held the campus for
weeks.

Interviews with the direct-
or and assistant director, Miss
Roberta Winter of the speech
department, and Miss Carrie
Scandrett, dean, produce only
mystifying information.

On the subject of costumes Miss
Winter commented, "Now, what
wouldn't be too revealing about
the costumes? that I could tell
you, I mean." Dr. McCain was
overheard in a rehearsal when he
calmly asked, <l In what stage of
undress should we be now?"

Deal Crowned
Girl of Week

First wearer of the green eye-
shade, badge of the Emory Wheel's
girl of the week, is Nancy Deal,
junior.

Harry Benford, first reporter
from Emory to eyeshade a girl,
spotted prospects in the library,
on the tennis courts, on the golf
course, and in the mail room be-
fore he saw Nancy crossing the
quadrangle and made a tentative
choice, based on appearance.

Nancy had the title in the bag,

the production can be gleaned | the reporter said, with her perfect
from the fact that "Sheilbound"
will require not only the perman-
ent stage in Gaines, but also a
second platform to be construct-
ed in front of the main one. A
glance at the property list reveals
the startling combination of dough-
nuts, an artist's model, "thunder-
ing herd" sound effects, a micro-
phone, vinegar, and a chaise
lounge.

These scattered bits of infor-
mation give rise to all kinds of
speculation, but the general con-
sensus of opinion is that "Shell-
bound" will make dramatic his-
tory. In addition to the directing
staff, other production committee
chairmen are H. C. Forman, of
the art department, scenery; Miss
Lucille Alexander, of the French
department, properties; John Mc-
Auley, electrician, lighting; Miss
Elizabeth Barineau, Spanish de-
partment, wardrobe; Miss Char-
lotte Hunter, assistant dean, house
manager; Miss Frances Gooch, of
the speech department, tickets;
Miss Edna Ruth Hanley, pro-
grams; Miss Reynolds, ushers.

comebacks to the questions on the
character-intelligence test, the
second basis for the reporter's de-
cision.

Nancy's answer to the first
question ("Do you believe in kiss-
ing a boy on the first date?") was
judged indicative of both charac-
ter and intelligence. She said, "It
depends on the boy."

A straight "no" would have indi-
cated character, but not intelli-
gence while "yes" would have
meant intelligence but no charac-
ter, a member of the Wheel staff
explained.

Her answers concerning the
proper number of fraternity pins
worn per year, the UN conference,
Emory men, the Emory Wheel, the
contest itself, and the question-
naire were also considered by the
judge as worthy of a girl of the
week.

Harry Benford was accompa-
nied on his mission by four self-
termed "morale-boosters" and a
photographer.

Another Wheel scout will be on
campus next week to crown an-
other beauty-intelligence-charac-
ter queen.

Career In Journalism Begins
At 12 for Ex-Editor of News

By Lou McLaurin

Though it has not been estab-
lished as a scientific fact, from the
appearance of the Agnes Scott
News under Jo Benton's manage-
ment, it seems evident that instead
of blood, the Benton veins are full
of printer's ink. *

It seems that this passion for
newspaper work first struck Jo at
the tender age of twelve. She and
"the gang" undertook the labori-
ous task of editing a handwritten
paper for their neighborhood in
Charlottesville, Va. which inci-
dentally folded after the first is-
sue. She has been more success-
ful in working on her high school
paper and in working for a couple
of summers on her hometown pa-
per, w r ith some rare experiences as
results, even to covering a gory
ax murder.

Jo's likes include all foods, books

(and time to read them), Emory,
walking in the rain, swimming in
the ocean, and music. After con-
siderable digging her dislikes were
found to be hymns sung by hill-
billy bands, noisy trolleys, tall
buildings, and dirt! Added to this
list are babies before they learn to
talk.

Jo frankly admits absent-mind-
edness and the need of a pad on
her desk to tell her what to do
next. Just recently she was in a
big rush to go to town to buy an
Easter hat and, since it must
match her dress, she had to take
the dress with her. She dashed
madly to town, the dress box under
her arm, ran into the store, slid to
a stop before a clerk, and said, "I
want a hat pink just the shade
of this dress," yanked open the box

Dr. Shih Cites
Missionary Need

'Fifty missionaries are needed to
help rebuild China", declaired Dr.
Peter L Shih in chapel Saturday.

Dr. Shih, from Chungking, Chi-
na, is chairman of the Chinese
Christian delegation to Japan and
America. The delegation repre-
sents the m i ni s t e r s , students,
teachers, workers, and other
Christian groups in China. After
their stay in the' United States the
delegation will go to Japan.

Dr Shih emphasized the great
lack of Christian workers in China.
He made a plea for college gradu-
ates and trained workers, especial-
ly in the field of medicine, to fill
the need.

"Seeing the best and doing the
second best is certainly the be-
ginning of spiritual decay," said
Dr. Shih, "but seeing the best* and
doing the best is the foundation
of spirtual growth."

Citing an ancient Chinese pro-
verb, "God gives and forgives;
man gets and forgets," Dr. Shih
stated that the Chinese Christ-
ians were ready to forgive. The
delegation is proposing in Ameri-
ca and Japan that < forgveness
alone is the foundation of a sure
peace."

Since the condition of the type-
writer now in The News room is
beyond repair the staff is asking
the student body to contribute
a minimum of $.10 each to the
fund.

Boxes for collection of the con-
tributions will be placed in the
book store. All staff members will
also collect pledges in the cam-
paign which will last for two
weeks. Contributions above the
$.10 are acceptable.

Seniors Plan
Original Opera

The seniors are planning a com-
ic American folk opera for May 3.
Instead of the usual take-off on
grand opera this year's senior
opera will be an original theme
about mountain people.

Plans are progressing rapidly
and the writing committee has al-
most completed the script. Special
feature will be a singing and danc-
ing chorus made up, of the moun-
tain people. Many of the songs,
words and music, will be com-
pletely original. A few will be
adapted from three operas, "Ma-
dame Butterfly," ''Marriage of
Figaro" and "Aida." These same
operas vvil be presented by the
Metropolitan in Atlanta during
the week preceding May 3.

Committee chairmen are Deedie
Merrin, costumes; Helen Currie,
music; Charlotte Hevener, scenery;
Jane* Cook, clean-up; Janet Lid-
dell, property; Dale Bennett, danc-
ing; and Sissy Jeffries, publicity.

The writing committeee includes

On the Ball

By Ginny Andrews

A little snoopin' around the gym
this week brought to light some
individual wails and giggles from
various sporting characters. Take
for instance the poor girl who's
taking beginning horseback riding.
Vainly you can ask, plead, and beg
for clever incidents and general
news from the riding ring no
luck. Finally one beginner acidly
informed us that she was entirely
too busy keeping aware of her
seat (seat, with double meaning
and double emphasis, that is) to
pay attention to any clever inci-
dents at the ring.

"I'd go a mite for a Camel"
seems like a Lilliputian effort to
the golf fiends on campus. They
can tell you that they will go
several miles for a golf game
several miles in vain. Just ask
the disgruntled gals who spent a
precious hour getting out to North
Fulton Park to play golf, only to
find out after they got there, that
the course was too crowded, so
they turned around, came back,
and tried to enjoy a late game at
Forest Hills.

We hate to linger on the sub-

ject of golf but it does seem to
attract interesting bits like blue
wool attracts lint. You don't have
to be on the hockey field or on a
golf course to learn about golf.
You can learn in the dorms, at
least in the near vicinity of Mac
Compton's room. Just ask any of
her long suffering neighbors.
Seems like she enjoys demonstrat-
ing drives and technique to those
poor souls who are interested. But
a room is a small place to attempt
a good drive. Consequently Mac
is profusely apologizing to many
and various friends who are brand-
ed now with black and blue
marks by the mark of her golf
clubs.

47-48 Board Appointed
Plans for Banquet Begun

And speaking or blact. and blue
marks, volleyball players are
sacrificing wind and limb for
technique. It seems that hard
serves are being aimed too well
at the opposing teams, team-mates
are accidentally stepping back on
the feet of other team-mates try-
ing to get balls, and, crowning
glory of all, several players have
been <c crowned" with volleyballs
bouncing down on their heads from
behfnd. Sabotage, for sure!

New Volleyball
Season Begins
With Fast Games

The senior volleyball team, led
by Mac Craig, senior class volley-
ball manager, slammed into the
frosh team for a 40-30 victory
while the juniors beat the sophs
in a thrilling 33-32 game, Friday
afternoon, April 4.

The frosh got off to a poor start
but after the half oicked up to

make a good showing with Jane
Sharkey, Barbara Lawson, and
Gretchen Reinartz starring play-
ers. Cookie Miller made some out-
standing spikes for the seniors
which gave them a good lead which
they kept throughout the game.

The sophomore-junior game was
as exciting as it was close, with
both teams making some expert
plays. Doc Dunn, junior manager,
helped pile up points for her team
with her usual powerful serves.
Gladys Merck and Alice Jean Cas-
well helped drive the sophomores
to a two point lead at the half but
the juniors manuveured into a
final one point victory.

Due to the rain Friday the
game was played in the gym. The
new courts will be used for the
first time Friday, April 11, when
the sophomores play the seniors
and the juniors play the fresh-
men.

No End To Strife
In Seething China,
Declares Eckel

U. S. citizens fail to grasp the
age-old monolythic concept of
Chinese politics, declared Dr. Paul
Eckel in his Monday night lec-
ture on the complex situation
China now faces.

Dr. Eckel, teacher at the Uni-
versity- of Pennsylvania, former
teacher in Japan and member of
the government intelligence staff
in the Far East, "sees no end in
sight" for strife torn China.

Basic in Chinese politics is the
Confucious concept which lays re-
sponsibility on all from the Em-
peror to coolie boys, continued the
speaker.

Revolutions have racked China,
explained Dr. Eckel, but all were
purely reactionary, establishing a
new dynasty under good old ideals.
Chinese Communism inspired by
the Russians and the Democratic
League whicn participated in
making the constitution have done
much good but have no idea of the
two party system.

garet Kinard, Angela Pardington, Betty Lou Patterson, Sop-
hia Pedakis, Betty Jean Radford, Laura Winchester, and
Christina Yates.

Mortar Board Elects
New Adviser

Miss Mary Stuart MacDougall,
head of the biology department,
has been selected Mortar Board's
new adviser.

She succeeds George P. Hayes,
head of the English department,
who has completed the three-year
term each adviser serves. Miss
Emma May Laney, professor of
English, and Walter B. Posey, head
of the history department, are the
other two advisers to Mortar
Board.

Dr. Helen C. White, member of
the Phi Beta Kappa Senate, and
Professor at the University of
Wisconsin, spoke at the annual
announcement service on oppor-
tunities for members of the schol-
arship fraternity.

"Everything you do is at the
mercy of the world as a whole,"
she said, "play as large a part as
possible in the big community of
the world."

Phi Betes, Dr. White explain-
ed, are especially obligated to so-
ciety because they are highly pri-
viledged. Their obligations include,
she added, being alert and well-
informed, and "doing something
about it" whether that means be-
longing to a woman's club or get-
ting into politics.

"These are not the things which
would be nice for girls to do in
1947," she asserted, "they are the
things they must do."

Dr. White pointed out UNESCO
as the proper medium through
which people devoted to the intel-
lectual and spiritual side of things
may work.

She also emphasized the oppor-
tunities for service in the tra-
ditional and time-worn women's
fields, teaching and raising a fam-
ily, and in the new field of per-
sonal guidance service.

Miss Mildred R. Mell, presi-
dent of the local chapter of Phi
Beta Kappa, said the members
were chosen because of "capac-
ities which promise a future mark-
ed by intellectual and spiritual
growth."

The capacities are judged on the
basis of grades and more intangi-
ble evidence, she explained.

Miss Margaret Phythian, sec-
retary of the chapter, announced
the new members.

De-Shelled Faculty Satirizes Self, Students
As Packed Audience Rocks With Laughter

By Harriet Gregory and Clarkie Rogers

Completely un-shellbound, the ed out the satire on himself.

faculty came through Saturday
night with the most hilarious en-
tertainment, most talent-crammed
production, most pertinent satire of
all the dramatic seasons this stu-
dent body has known.

W T ithin a cleverly worked out
plot framework, a dream sequence
take-off on "Spellbound," script-
writers of "Shellbound" kidded
themselves and the student body
with thrusts which hit home al-
most every time. The amazing
part of the whole production is
that each faculty member work-

Hardly less amazing, of course,
is the astounding and discomfiting
clarity of view with which the
"other estate" sees us'.

One rib-tickling highlight was
the classroom scen!e when the
"students" appeared bedecked in
orchids conspicuously placed on
kerchiefs, plaid jackets. Classic
jibes at the student body and fac-
ulty phobias were Miss Laney's
sit-in cut and Miss McDougall's
perfectly timed dropping of books.
Exquisite satire fell upon the en-
gaged ones when Miss Harn rush-

ed in late to display the newly
acquired diamond. How not to
sit in a classroom was perfectly
demonstrated by Miss Phythian
and Miss Wilburn.

Also' tops, the Dean's office
scene ran up the laugh meter as
p a j a m a-clad, rain-coated Miss
Hunter held forth with a tele-
phone conversation which brought
blushes and giggles to most of us.
Every type of date was represent-
ed from cute Mr. Stukes to glam r
our boy Mr. Robinson in tuxedo.

Miss Ellen Douglas Leyburn,

Davis Outlines
S. G. Program

Sister Davis, newly elected
president of Student government,
urged the student body to as-
sume more responsibility as she
outlined a four point program for
the incoming Executive committee
at the initiation Thursday.

Jane Meadows, this year's pre-
sident, advised the new commit-
tee to "leave the school better
than when you began." Jane ad-
ministered the oath of office to
the 1947-48 president, who in turn
initiated the other members of
the committee.

In assuming the responsibility
of president, Sister expressed gra-
titude to the retiring committee *
for the increase in interest which
they have aroused among the,
students and for the lack of con-
fusion which has miarkJed this
year's activities.

Policies will not be definitely
formulated until the Student Gov-
ernment retreat April 6, Sister an-
nounced, but the committee pro-
gram will follow four main lines.

Student suggestion and the Sug-
gestion Box is to be emphasized.
Student government will strive
to "stimulate interest in national
and international organizations,"
"to become a helpful medium be-
tween students and faculty," and
"to work with and to serve the
whole college community," Sister
asserted.

Timber!

Gaines Scene
Of Disaster

Those ping-pong-match motions
students were making at the raft-
ers of Gaines during chapel last
week kept time with the remain-
ing chandelier's almost impercep-
tible swayings in the draft.

The other chandelier fell Mon-
day, March 7, in the process of
being repaired.

The uplifted faces registered a
variety of emotions. C. W. Dieck-
mann of the music department, one
of the few ear-witnesses, seemed
to express a rather universal sen-
timent when he confessed that
the crash had not frightened him
but that he had had a mighty
peculiar feeling all the way down
to his toes.

M i m Steele's horror-stricken
countenance was due to the fact
that she had reserved the chan-
delier in question for "Shellbound"
after all the seats had been sold.
One woe-begone freshman noted
that had the chandelier fallen at
11 a. m. Tuesday instead of Mon-
day, she would not have had to
do her chemistry for that day.

The Last Weekend

By Mildred Claire Jones

Despite the deluge on campus Friday, Agnes Scotters had
a gala night. The ATO formal was one of the most beauti-
ful, and adding that famous u Scott glamour" were Margaret
Anne Richards, June Irvine, Mary Beth Little, Sue Hutchens,
Margaret Glenn, Dot Medlock, Martha Cunningham, Mary
McCalla, Charlotte Lea, Pat Mc-

Mary Lou Hatfield and Floss Han-
son, it was wonderful.

The Delta Tau Delta Formal
was the highlight of the week-
end for Carol Giles, Sarah Han-
cock, Mae Comer Osborne, Ellen
Morrison, and Butch Hays. Carol
also had the thrill of christening
the "Delta Tau Delta Rainbow*'
Saturday morning.

Emily Wright's debut at her
home on Andrews Drive was an
outstanding feature of the week-
end. Attending this were Tina
Hewson, Mary Gene Sims, Anne
Eidson, Beth Walton, Cissy Jef-
fries, Carol Equen, Mary Beth
Little, June Irvine, Betty Andrews,
and Mary Frances Anderson.

Virginia Dixon, Betsy Deal, Liz

Mimi, petite and blond, met the

On the Ball

By Ginny Andrews

Winchell, it was I believe, who said that a column is a grave twen-
ty-three inches deep so I've got to start burying myself. You see, I
want to write about the Reds tonight, and the Reds, as you all know,
are a very touchy issue.

In times such as these, the Reds are a^very pertinent subject. And
by the Reds I don't refer to the Russians, I refer to that interesting
and colorful group of lobsters who bask on the "beach." Now that
spring is really here (weatherman, take note!) girls in various de-
grees of dress and undress can be seen between White House and In-
man.

Classes of Reds

These white, pink, red, fushia, and occasionally tan creatures may
be divided into several classes. First, there are the card players.
These generally group into fours, expose their freckling shoulders to
the sun, and confine their conversation to -such speech as "One club,"
"two spades," "Bye," "Two no trump," "Darn!"

The next large group are those equipped with pen, paper, and air
mail stamps, and a purpose in their movements. However, just as in
the tropics, heat produces inertia so these admirable characters gen-
erally end up with a blank page and a good snooze after all corre-
spondence is only relative, isn't it?

Another important group is the mechanistic group. These are the
thoughtful and encumbered type, encumbered with baby oil, wet cot-
ton pads for eyes, pillows, and portable radios. They are the capitalists
of the beach comfortable, luxurious, and well loved by the lonely
masses who show abnormal (?) interest in their radios.

Sun- Worshippers

The final group, probably the largest, .and certainly the most fas-
cinating from a socialistic viewpoint, is that group known merely as
the "Sun-worshippers." These are characterized by their intense and
reverent concentration upon their purpose to get tan. Day after* day,
they humbly and seriously trudge out to the beach, scientifically
judge the point where the sun rays are the strongest, apply baby oil,
then stretch out and spend earnest hours concentrating on absorb-
ing the sun.

It may be a hopeless struggle, it may be futile, silly, or pagan, but
it's an Agnes Scott tradition in the spring just as volleyball games,
spring fever, and walks after dinner are. And now a word of advice
from one illustrious science major: ''Be sure to go out between eleven
and three the ultra-violet rays are the- strongest then and you know
they're much better than the infra red." Who said science can't be
practical ?

Novice Riders
Learn, Wail

Is your ambition in life to ride
a dashing young horse in the der-
by races? Well, before you launch
out on such an exciting career per-
hapes you had better heed the
warning whispers of a beginning
student in Mrs. Lapp's riding clas-
ses.

Yes, every beginner, whether
she be a prospective horseback
rider or bridge player, has her
quandries about success but the
torture the rider experiences is,
if not discouraging, at least per-
plexing. You see, from the first
day in a riding class at Agnes
Scott the student finds that little
details keep interfering with her
progress.

For example, she learns much
too late that there is a wrong and
a right side on which to approach
a horse and of course she has
tried the wrong. Then there's the
problem of adjusting stirrups.
Mrs. Lapp is continually hearing
such complaints as, "Mrs. Lapp,
mine are too long" or "mine are
entirely too short."

A beginner walks her horse first
of all but it isn't long before she
dreams of trotting along the trail.
She is much amazed and discour-
aged when she discovers that she
just doesn't know how to trot
but at least she can console her-
self with the thought that she's
knocking off a few friends. Her
dreams of cantering meet with
similar disappointments for she's
forced to realize that her techni-
que of shortening the reins and
grapping with her knees isn't as
developed as it should be.

The trials and tribulations of
a beginner are frightful indeed but
advanced riders assure me that
they are soon replaced by well
earned fun that only a horseback
rider can know.

Swimming Meet
To Be Held
Thursday, 4:45

The second swimming meet will
splash into action at 4:45 p. m.
April 17. The thirty participants
will try to supplement the defects
in the swimming meet held last
quarter. Swimming manager, Cook-
ie Miller, says, "We hope that Miss
Ames' (now Mrs .Tilden) hint
about the 'horrible' side-stroke
has taken effect."

Our managers Charlotte Evans
for the frosh; Betty Blackmon,
sophs; Emily Wright, juniors; and
Beth Walton, seniors agree that
their respective classes "have real-
ly shown loads of improvement
since the last meeting."

The strokes used shall be: twen-
ty-yard dash; from front-crawl,
side-overarm, and inverted breast
stroke; surface dives; and back-
crawl tandem.

Our alumna sports fan, Molly
Milam, will judge the diving and
Emory's Coach Shea will be the
judge for swimming and diving.

Some rash soul has ventured to
make a few predictions for the
meet: sophs will carry away hon-
ors in speed; frosh, front crawl;
juniors, front overarm; seniors,
inverted breast stoke; sophs, sur-
face dives; frosh, back crawl tan-
dem; juniors, intermediate diving;
Anybody's guess and in the relay
everybody has a chance.

The juniors trounced the fresh-
men and the sophs beat the sen-
iors in the two games last Fri-
day in the second volleyball games
of the season.

The junior-frosh game got off
to a fast start and remained ex-
citing throughout both quarters.
The most thrilling point in the
game was right after the half
when the score was tied. The jun-
iors played a hard game, though,
and at the end came up with a 39-
30 lead. Juniors playing were
Sheely Little, Lou McLaurin, Anne
Treadwell, Ginny Tuajker, Sara
Catherine Wilkinson, Vanesse Orr,
Jackie Stewart, and Doc Dunn.
The freshmen playing were: Bar-
bara Lawson, Gretchen Reinhartz,
Mary Anne Hatchell, Jane Shark-
ey, Greta Moll, Pat Asbury, and
June Dickey.

The senior-soph game was very
close and exciting, with both
teams evenly matched. Their game
got off to a fast start with Anna
George Dobbins, Peggy Pat Home,
Ginny Dickson, Gene Good, Cookie
Miller, Anne Hough, Louise Hoyt,
and Mac Craig playing for the
seniors. The sophs playing were
Jean Fraser, Gladys Merck, Reese
Newton, Betty Blackmon, Kath-
erine Gef cken Irene McLeod, Alice
Jean Caswell, and Kate Elmore.

This week will see some tight
games between the freshmen and
sophomores, and the juniors and
seniors.

We Like Stew But

Europe had its Black Plague. Napoleon had his Waterloo.
But must Agnes Scott have its Green Death, and chronically?

Now and then, we realize, it happens and in the best of fam-
ilies, and to the best of colleges. Didn't we prove that last
week and several other weeks this year?

It's the chronic part that bothers us. Food poisoning comes
as the result of a careless slip somewhere. By now it seems
someone should have discovered where.

The dining room staff has done a really beautiful job all
year. It's just that it's nicer to praise them without harp ac-
companiment.

Leaders Or Ostriches?

"It is the aim of Student government this year to stimu-
late an interest in national and international student organ-
izations. This does not mean necessarily joining these organ-
izations immediately but it does mean having contacts with
them and thus enabling us to' exchange with these organ-
izations ideas which may be advantageous to our campus."

The expression of such a policy for Student government
by the new president at installation is commendable. Such a
policy is needed.

Recently a Students for Democratic Action movement was
launched in this country. Material for organization was sent
a member of the student body. On inquiry the student found
that no partisan organization on campus is permitted.

We do not maintain that Agnes Scott should jump willy-
nilly into any political organization for students which comes
along. We do feel that such organizations deserve serious
consideration.

The principles of non-partisanship and campus-centered
life seerri to us basically at odds with the principles on which
Agnes Scott is founded.

Preparation for living is after all the aim of the college.

What fine citizens we shall make tomorrow if we stick our

heads ostrich-like in the sands today instead of learning by
participation the who's who and here's how of politics.

Perhaps centering our leading interests on Tech, tennis,
and Junior Banquet will keep us out of trouble.

But the world today is no place for the isolationist. Stu-
dents are becoming a political force in the United States to-
day as they have been for centuries in Europe.

Are we going to sit this one out and then as citizen-adults
have to live by the rules laid down?

Dr. Burns Warns Lobsfers
Who Bake On Inman Roof

Cabbage And Kings Ponds At Sea '

Tussys Sunk,
All's Amuck

By Mary Beth Little

By Betty Turner

The time has come, Doc Burns has
said, to talk of many things

"We've passed the time of colds,"
said she, "and things that winter
brings,

But now the frosh and sophs and

all come running to my door
With sunburnt eyes and nose and

back and ask for help and more;
And I can only say in tones of

hearty admonition,
'You've gone and burned your

back too much
And now you'll have to suffer such,
I'll simply have to find some way

to get across to you
What sunburn is, the hows and

whys, and what it seems to do.
I'll hire a scribe and make her

write so you can read and learn
The proper ways and means to get

that lovely spring sunburn."

All Inman porch and "the beach"
devotees should know a few basic
facts about the effect of ultra-
violet rays on the skin. These rays
are absorbed by your skin and
activate fatty substances called

sterols to produce Vitamin D,
which is stored in the skin and
used as your body requires it. The
ultra-violet rays of sunlight keep
tissues in good condition, stimulate
the nervous system, and kill bac-
teria on skin surfaces. So the
right amount of sun can help cer-
tain conditions such as acne. *

The danger of severe" burn by
ultra-violet is great because ul-
tra-violet rays carry no heat. You
can not tell how much burn you're
getting by how hot you are or how
red your skin is. The redness
caused by the heat rays appears
at once, but the ultra-violet burn
may be entirely out of proportion
to the heat you felt during ex-
posure. If you remain in the sun
until you are red, you may have
stayed too long.

A nice tan is beneficial, but a
sunBURN is to be avoided. Stop
and remember before you sun for
an hour or two that a severe sun-
burn is like any other burn dan-
gerous to life if it covers one-
third of the body.

Pecks of additional posies to
the orchid decked faculty! Rave
notices on hilarious insight and
heretofore hidden talenrts. Miss
Scandrett's letting the hair down
seemed symbolic of the very pro-
duction, and it was wonderful.

As one date said, "Shellbound
was a good title they're good
eggs." Other comments may be
more in the keeping with the fac-
ulty's untouched dignity, but the
idea is the same. Thank you for
sharing your fun with us!

With a flair for the dramatic,
the parodied Stukie and Woody,
Mary and Nancy, strolled in the
Dean's office Sunday night with
sure nuff a big sack of dough-
nuts. One other repercussion of
the review: demands for the key
to the music room, have had a
sharp drop. Just can't imagine
why

Patch Work

Campus life is a crazy quilt
(twice crazy since it's not meant
for sleep) made up of jigsaw
scraps of jumbled \:olor. Pieces
stitched this week:

Doc Dunn as she tests chocolate
syrup for ice cream: " a bypro-
duct of mayonnaise, no doubt."

Mac Craig wriggling bare pink
toes under a library table. (Hers
of course.)

Students thumbing through past
annuals, noting illustrious college
careers of some of the faculty,
falling off the bench giggling at
some of the styles, marking the
May Day and stunt themes, com-
ing to the conclusion that living is
only repeating.

Dr. Garber's bombshell question
for his Bible 301 test: "What shall
we do with the atomic bomb?"
It was followed by whistling sighs
and explosive laughter.

Locked out students beating on
the door of the library, desperate
for that "book-larnin." Of course a
truly eager beaver would have
tried gnawing!

Frustrated practical jokers:
Just for fun several freshmen re-
moved about a dozen bright cotten
dresses from Floss Hansen's pack-
ed closet. One night the dresses
hung from Inman's third floor
balustrade. Three days pass. Floss
is not even aware of the loss,
since her racks are still sagging.
The dresses are returned. Floss
is still unaware." Jokers eye their
own sparse supply with chagrin.
Oh communism, where is thy
sting?

Dr. Posey, having remembered
his forgotten cap just in the nick
*of time, ran down the chapel aisle
trying to overtake the impressive
faculty Phi Beta procession ac-
ademic robe flying in the breeze,
cap jauntily awry.

Phobia Probing

The Chambered Nautilus is not
the only one with a complex. Ever
notice how you can pick up one in
a single day?

A hole in the heel of a sock,
a slipped slip, squeeky shoes, and
a button hole with no button can
soon make the most poised campus
queen a shadow-searching mouse
with a ground-glued gaze.

Showing up with lessons well
prepared for a change, having had
the foresight (never mere good
luck) to bring an umbrella while
other poor souls are drenched by
a sudden rain, receiving % a special
letter with the stamp upside down
of course, and beating the one
o'clock stampede are good for a

superiority complex any day.

An especially nagging alarm
clock, querulous breakfast com-
panions (some even insist on ab-
solute quiet until after the third
cup of coffee), hard chalk scraped
sharply on a blackboard, and
chewing gum vs. shoe entangle-
ments foster alternating hqmocidal
mania and manic depressive. "Gen-
ius and madness are near allied,"
Pope said.' Maybe that explains it.
Hmmmm ?

as Susan, the "Chambered Naut-

mirably portrayed by Dr. McCain.

Like a candle under a bushel,
Mr. Garber's talent as a swooner-
crooner had been undiscovered un-
til the night club scene with the
speak-easy atmosphere.

Debonaire and dashing men-

authentic touch.

You Said It

Dear Editor:

There are times .when I won-
der whether 1 Agnes Scott girls are
college vv omen or a tribe of
Apaches on the war path. One of
these times is the few minutes
after the one o'clock bell.

There is no need to describe the
rush and noise to anyone who
knows the campus, *but have you
ever noticed the startled looks on
the faces of visitors? I imagine
that it is very difficult for them
to believe that we are the poised,
intelligent young women that we
like to think we are.

I am sure .that we could not
starve in one or two minutes, and
I know that we could not make
more noise. So let us try to put
our heritage of "gracious living"
in practice and be a little quieter
after our 12 to 1 classes.

Sincerely,
Jane Alsobrooke

Turmoil, o' turmoil,
All is running amuck.
Beauty queens are terrorized ;
Cosmetic experts stuck.

Tussy's in a tizzy,

Ponds are all at sea.

Come, dear, reader, follow me
If the reason you would see,
And solve a darksome mystery-

Strap on a safety belt, one to be

The oxygen masks have well ad-

And don't bring your camera
it might get busted.

Well, whadja expect Mephis-

They're turning out hand lotion
Lots of cold cream;
They're lovely engaged,
This must be a dream!

Their hands are busy,
Not to mention their minds.
They find it a job
Competing with Hinds!

Since you've seen the layout
We'll leave these pioneers;
And if I can find my way out
Blessings on the little dears!

Miss F. Querry
Gives Lecture
On Vocations

Teaching Bible in public schools
is the answer to many college
s t u d e n t s' perplexing question,
"What shall I do when I finish
school?" Miss Frances Querry
pointed out in chapel Wednesday,
April 16.

Miss Querry, a graduate of
Queens College in Charlotte, N.
C, explained that, a person who is
considering a vocation must first
question the motives for his choice
and then see whether he is qual-
ified for the position. If both his
motives and his abilities are good,
then he is likely to succeed, Miss
Querry said.

As head of the Bible teachers in
North Carolina, Miss Querry cited
from first hand information the
opportunities for young people in
this work.

lards and songs, arias from "The
Marriage of Figaro," "Aida," and
"Madame Butterfly," and a chor-
us of mountain folk.

Representing an innovation in the history of Agnes Scott,
the Cotillion tea-dance with orchestra and dates is slated
for Saturday, from 4 p. m. to 6 p. m. in Murphy Candler,
Betty Turner, president, announced.

Cotillion Club sets a precedent as the first organization on
campus to sponsor a dance since

the administration relaxed the
rule last year forbidding dancing
on campus with men.

Ballon-designed programs will
list each girl's variety of partners
and light refreshments will be
served.

Committees were appointed at
the last meeting. Mary Beth Lit-
tle and Lou McLaurin are co-

Dr. Hromadka comes to Agnes
Scott under the sponsorship of the
University Center's committee on
visiting scholars. He is speaking at
Columbia Theological Seminary
during Ministers' Week, April 21-
26.

Leaders Discuss
S* G* Problems

Although Agnes Scott is faced
with numerous problems, her wor-
ries seem to be less serious than
those of other southern colleges,
reported Sister Davis, Jane Mead-
ows, and Doris Sullivan, represen-
tatives to the annual convention
of the Southern Intercollegiate
Association of Student Govern-
ments.

At the two day convention held
at Sophie-Newcomb college April
19-20 the theme was Student Gov-
ernment on the Postwar Campus.
The group discussions were on
parliamentary law, the honor sys-
tem, leadership training, and gen-
eral campus problems.

Sister Davis, Student govern-
ment president, reported that in
many of the schools represented
students are required to take cour-
ses in parliamentary law before
becoming a candidate for an office
in Student government. She add-
ed that parliamentary procedure
is also stressed among all the
students in these schools.

In discussions with other re-
presentatives it was evident that
Agnes Scott's honor system is
working more effectively than
that of some of the other southern
schools.

In the discussions on general
college campus problems Agnes
Scott representatives realized the
great problem faced by other col-
leges in dealing with drinking and
smoking.

ASC Debaters
Will Clash
With Pa. Team

Pi Alpha Phi's affirmative inter-
collegiate team will exchange
words with the University of Pen-
nsylvania in Murphey Candler at
3 p. m. Friday.

The Pennsylvania boys seem de-
termined to have the last word on
the intercollegiate subject, Re-
solved that labor shall have a di-
rect share in the management of
industry. These same teams clash-
ed in the Grand National at Fred-
ericksburg April 5.

On tour, the University will de-
bate Georgia Tech later in the
afternoon. Pi Alpha Phi plans to
debate with Georgia Evening Col-
lege, North Georgia College, and
Emory University this quarter, Dot
Porter, president, stated.

The Agnes Scott affirmative
were the runners-up for the wo-
men's national championship in
the recent Grand National tourn-
ament.

A report of this tournament will
be given in chapel May 1. At the
same time the Pi Alpha Phi plaque
will be presented.

Everyone on campus is invited
to attend the run-off debate to-
morrow night at 7:30. Lida Walker

On the Ball

By Ginny Andrews

Life down at the Gym is not
-without its lighter moments, 1 and
its luckier ones, too. Liz Ja*ckson
can vouch for this. She is one of
those interesting souls who looks
forward to her gym classes not
without an ulterior motive, though.
JReason, (to quote Liz), "Every
time I go down to the tennis
courts, I find a four leaf clover.
If I keep going t n the class, I
may find enough clovers to boost
me through exams!" Quite an
idea how about a game of tennis ?

those wonderful four leaf clovers
last week. Bad luck and golf balls
haunted her all week. Seems as
if some one with an all too strong
swing sent the ball flying, but
flying off in the wrong direction.
Clarkie happened to be in the way
of the erring ball. Consequently,

Juniors Lead
In Volleyball

Playing volleyball outside on the
netcourts for the first time the
juniors defeated the seniors 35-
33, and the sophs won from the
frosh 43-15. Both games were
played with a roving player.

In the junior-senior fracas the
juniors displayed excellent team-
work.- They took an early lead
and held it throughout the game.
The seniors seemed handicapped
by the higher outside net. They
have some expert spikers on the
front line that couldn't seem to
lift them high enough.

Juniors playing were Sara Cat-
herine Wilkinson, Eclaire Cunning-
ham, Sheely Little, Vannesse Orr,
Susan Neville, Doc Dunn, Jackie
Stewart, and Lou McLaurin.

Seniors playing were Anna
George Dobbins, Peggy Pat Home,
Ginny Dickson, Gene Goode, Cook-
ie Miller, Ann Hough, Louise Hoyt,
and Mac Craig.

In the frosh-soph game Betty
Blackmon insured the success of
the sophs by beginning the game
with ten points on her serve. The
frosh were never able to overcome
this lead though they had some
pretty set-ups and spikes.

Sophs line-up included Jean
Fraser, Gladys Merck, Reese New-

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE. WED. APRIL 23. 1947

Step No- 8 to Finesse

Junior Banquet is over. The mussed gowns, scuffed slippers,
effervescent Sunday table conversations, and baggy-eyed
but radiant faces of the Juniors were tribute to its success.

The banquet was the eighth campus social event since the
introduction of dancing on campus. Each function has given
us experience in smoother handling of social relations. Now
Cotillion club is sponsoring a tea dance with an orchestra,
another step up the ladder to "more 'social' standards."
we would like to suggest that for such functions as Junior

Realizing that innovations take time to become institutions
Banquet printed invitations and other important little for-
malities be observed. A record player doesn't provide the
polish or, incidentally, the volume of an orchestra. Dancing
isn't much fun when one's ear must be strained not tuned
to the music. /

We don't want to destroy the afterglow of the Banquet
but when a college is as steeped in cultural background as
Agnes Scott there's no point in cutting corners socially.

The present trend is toward enhancing this background.
Let's not hang our evening dresses back in the closet now.

Bells Quell Belles

The world is full of bells wedding bells, fire bells, church
bells, blue bells, southern belles, jingle bells, go-to-bed
bells get-up bells, time-for-classes bells, class-is-over bells
and "For whom the Bells Tolls."

Their tryranny is unimited; they determine our every mo-
ment. The ones which affect us now are merciless. Like
shrews they nag us and like Simon Legree they drive us on.
With loud, rasping voices they tactlessly announce to us
our procedure, saving us from horrible lives of frivolity and
dissipation.

We move to adopt the bell as the symbol of college life.

Moola for Machine

The limp in our typing machine is becoming more and
more pronounced with every issue of the News.

The drive for dimes and dimes and dimes is still on. The
box is still in the bookstore waiting for philanthropic out-
I pourings of your generosity.

more jumbled so does your staff.

Calico Tells Eye-Witness Tale
Of Spanish Club's Fiesta

By Calico

Tiptoeing up to the front door
of Murphey Candler last Thursday
night I could see a crowd of
about sixty ASC gals and men,
with pink sombrero name tags,
laughing and talking together.

Suddenly I realized why I
hadn't been able to distinguish the
sounds I had heard they were
speaking in Spanish! It was the
night of the Spanish fiesta cele-
brating Pan-American Day.

Curious to see what happens at
a Spanish fiesta, I seated myself
on the floor in a good position to
see all, hear all, and tell you-all.

The next thing on the program,
I gathered, was to be a play. Ah,
some good Spanish drama! Even
if I (Vmldn't underhand it, I
could enjoy the excellent acting.
It had an all-male cast, too.

First to appear on the scene
was a well-padded, femininely at-
tired male, with long blond hair
covering one eye, who doubtless

represented Veronica Lake or
Veronica Lago. There followed a
thrilling murder mystery involv-
ing a male Dorothy Lamour or
Dorotea la Mula and a handsome
Robert de Sastre known in Eng-
lish as Robert Taylor.

The play over, and the music
began with a distinctly Spanish
rhythm. The orchestra was com-
posed of a piano, violins, bomboms,
and the gourd-like objects that
you shake. To the beat of the mu-
>ic. a mustached don Juan rose to
give forth with "Brazil" and "Bc-
seme Mucho."

Also on the program were sev-
eral talks by Latin American stu-
dents who told about their coun-
tries. Dr. Gordon Brown, profes-
sor of romance languages at Tech,
gave an interesting travelogue of
his trip to Brazil.

All of this was gieanea through
the smattering of Spanish I know
and through questions asked bona-
fide members who had grandstand
seats and refreshments.

Cabbages and Kings

By Mary Beth Little

The Western Union operator may have been a bit startled,
but she carried on accepting and delivering to our stars
of the recent faculty review messages signed by none other
than Sigmund Freud, Helen "no-Knox" Spain and Bernard
Shaw!

Freud commented on Dr. Mc- 1

Cain's psychiatric technique and f
offered some of his equipment. I V ** *-) g rlC*n "f O C
Miss Spain gave Miss Winter rave ; will I VI fCUf Cf J
notices on the whole production. I m m //
And Shaw commended Miss Ley- JYI GFV ^Ultet

burn's "breathtaking perform-
ances" and offered her the stel- i
lar role in "Pygmalion". The iden-
tity of this charming prankster
has not been discovered, which
adds the fun of mystery to the
tangle of "live wires."

Echoes

There's nothing like making the
faculty the major part of a so-
called humor c o 1 u m n but if
Homer can present the gods as
the comic 1 element and. mortals as
the serious, I guess I can report
the campus heirachy In like man-
ner. Haven't you noticed the sim-
ilarities between this column and
the "Odyssey" ? Homer's was the
wanderings of Ulysses; mine, the
wanderings useless.

The above blasphemy was not
meant to be such. Only meant
that the faculty (bless them) has
had the joie de vivrie lately, where-
as the poor students have been
staggering through the spring
quarter vale of sorrow and haven't
been very helpful to columnists
dedicated to the recording of life's
lighter side.

As I was saying before I was so
rudely interrupted myself with a
windy winding degression heard
two long- told faculty stories which ,
really should be shared as classic
campus lore.

Gems

It seems that in the days when
Dr. Gaines was the beloved presi-
dent of Agnes Scott, card playing
was somewhat discouraged. A
group of younger faculty was fond
of bridge and played quite often.
At last Dr. Gaines called one of
them to his office. Not unkindly he
explained his position, stating that
he realized that the game was
quite innocent, but that ungen-
erous people seeing a sizable
group thus engaged might talk.
Tactfully he enquired, "Could you
limit your bridge group to two
perhaps, or three?"

Perhaps the second story re-
flects the ancient view of the am-
brosia-fed higher ones; at any rate
it relates a priceless misconcept-
ion. Miss Winter answers the. tele-
phone. "May I please speak to
Miss Ridley," a voice said. "I'm
sorry," Miss Winter replied, "she's
in the library studying for tomor-
row's classes." "Oh no," the voice
retorted, "she doesn't study there;
she teaches!

Slants

This magnificent faculty; Every-
day they scatter their pearls and
the students also roll in the aisles.

Dr. Hayes in a very serious
classroom lecture: "Man must
have absolutes; he can NOT live
with relatives!"

Don't think that students shall
be completely ungallyed this week.
Where there's life there's a hope.

That haggard phrase "comic
spirit" literally bounced into
Shakespeare class when Pagie Vio-
lette, assigned the fool's part in
"King Lear" for class recitation,
donned a red and green jester's
cap complete with floppy ears and
flippant bells.

And last they say the latest
telephone salutation from Main is,
"Well, who in the hall do you
want?"

UltraViolation

We got you .all equipped last week
With facts and explanation
And told you all about the case
Of "ultra-violation."

Now we have a new complaint
'Gainst those who cheat the sun
And use a lamp when the sun's not
out

To bake themselves well done.

If you use an ultra-violet lamp
to acquire a sunburn, be sure that
you carefully observe all direct-
ions which you received on pur-
chasing your ultra-violet bulb. Re-
member that the closer you are
to the lamb, the more concentrated
are the rays which strike your
body, and the more intense the
burn.

As you increase the distance
from the bulb, there is more dif-
fusion of rays so that they come
in contact with a larger body area.
Proximity To the bulb means tan-
ning of only a restricted area.
Use your bulb at a distance not
less than three feet for about four
minutes at a time. If you do not
get red, increase exposure a min-
ute a day. Never use the lamp over
eight minutes, more exposure will
not increase' your tan but only
burn.

If you tan slowly, there is less
danger of an overdosage of ultra-
violet. Upon exposure to sunlight,
certain cells in the skin produce
a browti pigment, called melanin,
in increased activity. In brunettes,
these cells are usually all over
the body.

In blondes and red-blondes, they
are scarce and may be present in
clumps so that tan may first ap-
pear as freckles. Blondes should
start with only about two minutes
exposure.

Nuts!

Psych Tests
Tell All!!

By Mary Price

Psychoanalysists may be good
but few Agnes Scott students con-
sider themselves out of the ordi-
nary enough to consult such spe-
cialists in the field of psychology.
Instead, many of them, the mem-
bers of psychology 201, are for-
tunate enough to find the key to
their characters by taking and
analyzing personality factor ques-
tionnaires.

The five pages of questions, an-
swered yes, no, or?, can tell you
whether you are a social intro-
vert, a thinking extrovert, or
whether you are emotionally sta-
ble. There are five factors being
analyzed, which all together make
up the individual personality.

The questions were to be an-
swered honestly by each student
over the weekend, and when the
students corrected them last week
the only smiling face during the-
entire hour was Miss Omwake's.
She was not under analysis.

Mysterious numbers like 1 and
a C-score of 10 meant thai you
were either depressed, repressed,
and about to commit suicide, or
that you were floating about in
your day-dreams the live-long
day.

Strangely enough, the quiet, un-
assuming individuals turned out
to have the nice, exciting scores,
and personalities, while many
were somewhat put out at their
all-too-normal scores.

So if you hear your neighbor
who keeps you awake all night de-
termining to cease being a social
introvert, or if you hear stu-
dents resolving to throw off their
inhibitions, please be assured it's
all in the interest of developing
a C-score of 5, 6, or 7. (if you
know what that means).

Copy Hook

At five minutes until midnight
last Wednesday night the Platter
Party played "Heartache" dedi-
cated by the girls on 4th Main to
Smilin' Les Garber.

As the Poseys prepared to leave
Murphcy-Candler Saturday night
after chaperoning for the whole
evening, they stopped to tell a
member of Mortar Board how
much they had enjoyed it all. She
smiled sweetly and told them how-
glad she was "that they were able
to drop in lor a few minutes."

Overheard in the lunch line:
First' Soph: It rained yesterday.
Do you think we can take a sun-
bath on the Inman porch?

Second Soph: I don't know but
I think the porch has evaporated.

A belated comment on the fac-
ulty stunt; "It covered the cam-
pus like the earthworms."

Seniors Play Mountaineer Roles
In 'Mountain Airias' Presentation

Jostled from the calm of an old English May Day, the cam-
pus will encounter quite a different atmosphere at Senior
Opera Saturday at 8 p. m. Featuring some of the best act-
resses and singers in the class, the opera, "Mountain Airias"
will bring to the stage of Presser a host of mountain folk in
an original plot.

Mountain Theme

Casting asi,de the traditional
take-off on grand opera, the plot
will turn to the mountains for its
theme. It will involve a group of
mountain folk who go to the city
to see what they think is the
grand, old opry, but because oT
their inability to read well, they
get mixed up in the Metropolitan
Opera instead.

They see three operas The Mar-
riage of Figaro, Aida, and Madame
Butterfly. When they get back,
they try to explain what they saw
to the mountain folk, who do not
understand; so they decide to put
on an opera themselves to explain
what they mean.

Sparkling Cast

Seniors turned mountain-bloom-
ers will be Carolyn Gilchrist, as
Pa Satterfield, a blustering indi-
vidual who is the voice of author-
ity as far as the mountain people
are concerned; Angela Parding-
ton, as Ma Satterfield, a sharp-
spoken woman who keeps one eye
on Pa; and Alice Beardsley, as
the son who has accomplished the
feat of going through the first
grade four times.

Millie Evans will play the part
of Zeffa, a sweetj-njaturedj girl
who plays the part of Miz But-
terfly in the the mountain folk's
opera; Jean Estes, Rhody, a de-
lightful mountain girl who, after
her visit to the grand ole opry
in the city is terribly stage struck;
Helen Currie, as Calliope Sruggs,
the prim old maid who wants to
have a moralizing influence over
all the mountain folk. Margaret
McManus's role is shrouded in
mystery.

The opera will strike close home
since the three operas on which
the take-offs are made are being
presented in Atlanta this week.

Christian Tells
Of Future Job

Radio-activity, theoretical and
practical, is a field "in which little
has been done and I hope to do
something about it," declared S.
M. Christian, head of the physics
department, in his talk Thursday
night on his past and future work
at the RCA laboratory.

"You learn things that are in-
teresting; and worth knowing,
though of no practical import-
ance," Mr. Christian explained in
discussing theoretical uses of ra-
dio-activity.

Continuing in the fields of ap-
plication Mr. Christian mentioned
the practical uses of raido-activity
in geology, metallurgy, biology,
chemistry, genetics, photosynthe-
sis, and particularly in medicine
for combatting cancer, tumors,
and mislocated thyroids.

Mr. Christian leaves Agnes Scott
in June to do full time work in the
RCA laboratory in Princeton
N. J.

subject at the Y conference in Sa-
lem April 12, and C.A., in answer
to requests, invited him to lead

a team from Alabama State Col-
lege for Women on "Quiz of Two
Cities" radio program tonight at
8:30 p. m.

Representing Atlanta will be
Bet Patterson, senior, Betzie Pow-
ers, Dabney Adams, and Ruth Bas-
tin Slentz, juniors. Their winnings,

'47 'Revels' Reveal
Mystery of Queen
5 p. m. May Day

Heralded by the hunter's horn, traditional May Pole dances.,
gay choral music and garlanded villagers, an unknown
senior beauty will be crowned qUeen of May, Saturday at
5 jp. m., climaxing a quaint English celebration of "May Day
Revels."

In the green of the May Day
Dell Mayor Easy Beale will be-
stow the royal garland upon the
senior whose name for the first
time in May Day history will re-
nrtin unannounced until the finale
of the "Revels."

Beauties Wear White

The court dressed entirely in
white, to maintain the secrecy of
the queen's identity, was chosen
by the student body during winter
quarter. Seniors Betty Andrews,
Virginia Dickson, Mary Jane Ful-
ler, Mynelle Grove, Sue Hutchens
are all possible sovereigns. They
are attended by juniors Nancy
Deal, June Irvine, Mary Beth Lit-
tle, Mary Manly.

Sophomores Miriam Arnold, Ju-
lianne Cook, Elizabeth Williams,
and freshmen Catherine Chance
and Beryl Crews represent their
classes to the court of village beau-
ties.

The scenario, written by Virginia
Andrews, recalls the merry Eng-
land of Shakespeare in a festive
village celebration of the picking
of the local May Day Queen.

This year's celebration under
the direction of Miss Eugenie Doz-
ier and chairman Peggy Pat
Home will be in pantomime with
a piano and choral background,

C. A. P I a n s
Frosh Party

Christian association will give a
garden party for members of the
freshman class, May 7 at 5:30 p.
m. in the little quadrangle, B. J.
Brown, freshman advisor, announc-
ed.

Miss Louise Hale, of the French
department, will be the guest
speaker. The entertainment com-
mittee has also planned to have a
string ensemble play throughout
the party.

All members of the freshman
class who attend will be issued in-
vitations on paper picture hats and
flower baskets in order to carry
out the "spring party" theme.

Members of Christian associa-
tion planning the freshman party
are Anne Williamson, freshman,
and Ruth Richardson, junior. They
will receive the guests in summer
formals.

B. J. has asked that all the fresh-
men who are interested in attend-
ing the party to sign up on the
bulletin board in the mail room not
later than May 3.

Europe Challenges
Youth - Hromadka

"Open the door of your heart to
the Christ that you may live up to
the test of history and meet the
crying need of this age," admon
ished Dr. Joseph Hromadka in his
chapel address Friday.

Pointing out that people all over
the world are calling with the
psalmist "out of the depths" of de-
spair, Dr. Hromadka asserted
that they are looking toward Am
erica for guidance and aid. The
civilization that the world knew in
1938 has crumbled, and old stra
tegic centers of Paris and London
have given way to Washington
and Moscow.

"Europe does not know how you
in the United States will assume
your new role," said Dr. Hromad-
ka. "Rise to this great challenge -
guided by Christ's love in your
hearts."

A refugee from Czechoslovakia
during the war, Dr. Hromadka has
been serving on the faculty of
Princeton university as professor
of apologetics and Christian eth-
ics. He plans to resume his posi-
tion at the University of Prague
soon.

Preferring her men tall, intel-

The Last Weekend

By Mildred Claire Jones

Besides the half-baked specimens that are beginning to
drift into the dining room, spring is causing a renewed series
of parties on Fraternity Row. The ATO's at Emory had a
Hellzapoppin Dance which was a big success from reports
of Charlien Simms, Betty Blackmon, Hariotte Winchester,
Poochie Gehrken, Dot Floyd, Diana

Durden, and Mary Manly.
Fraternity Dance

The Biltmore Hotel formed the
setting for the PiKA formal Fri-
day night. Adding to the beauty
of the occasion were June Smith,
Rosemary Griffin, Sarah Smith,
Nancy Dendy, Willa Wagner, and
Mary Frances Anderson.

A hayride given by, the Tech
Lambda Chis drew many Scott
girls. Enjoying this were Jo Cal-
laway, Dot Stewart, Pat McMan-
mon, Jean Estes, Nan Honour, El
Compton, and Betty Jo Sauer.
Another popular spot was the ATO
house at Tech where Dot Med-
lock, Lyd Gardner, and Margaret
Glenn were seen. Mary Lou Hat-
field, Janet Liddell, and Betty Tur-
ner danced at the Paradise Room
Friday night, while Helen Ed-
wards, "Vippy" Patterson, and
Claire Foster enjoyed the Emory
C. A. Retreat at Camp Coweta.
Steele Dendy and Rita Adams
danced at the Beta House at Tech.

Entertaining the Tech SAE's
Saturday night were Nelda Brant-
ley and Adele Lee. Seen dancing
at the Naval Air Station was
Cama Clarkson, and at the East
Lake Country Club was Beryl
Crews. Sarah Smith attended the
Sigma Nu hayride at Emory.
Cowboy Ball

The KA Cowboy ball at Geor-
gia must have been very interest-
ing. Billie Powell, Ann Hough,
Cissy Jeffries, and Sally Bussey
were there and will be glad to
supply the details. Anna George
Dobbins was hostess to a house-
party in Gantt's Quarry, Ala. this
weekend taking Isabel Asbury,
Edith Merrin, and Ruth Ellis with
her.

Jessie Carpenter, Barbara Macht

On the Ball

By Ginny Andrews

Down at the pool the other week, the life-saving class
was having a hard time learning about artificial respiration.
They were told to place one knee on one side of the victim's
body and the other knee on the other side.

Then they were told to straddle the leg and at this point
Bunny Brannon's plaintive voice was heard saying, "Gee,
Grace, I've only got two legs." '

. Exercise was down to a minimum last week what with
arranging course cards and everything. But one not of phy-
sical activity was seen up on third floor Buttrick.

Four eager girls were sitting cross-legged on the floor in
'front of Miss Harn's office playing a hot game of bridge
with an assorted variety of students and faculty kibitzing.
Be it ever so homely

Interest in Archery Club is running high these days what
with the May 10-17 tournament coming up. Lucy Mohr has
the best story to tell about that. Seems that some eager sports
man noticed her jewelled Pi Beta Phi sorority pin which
is chaped like an arrow and said, "Oh, you have jewelled pin
you must be the president of Archery Club!"

Then there is the tale about the confused girl who found
out that sewing up a May Day costume is certainly more
work than play Reason why? She had three arm holes and
no hole for her head.

an

lead of 11 points on the seniors
and kept a good margin ahead
for the rest of the game. The sen-
iors again had trouble getting
the ball over the high net. Gene
Goode's serve won many of their
20 points.

Seniors playing were Dobbins,
Craig, Home, Dickson, Goode, Tur-
ner, Hoyt, and Hough. Freshmen
were Lawson, Hatchel, Sharkey,
Mall, Irvine, Davis, Reinartz, and
Dickey.

From the start, the sophomores
stacked their points high. Their
favorite play and one that claim-
ed for them numerous points in-
volved Reece Newton's setting the
ball up to the front row for Jean
Fraser to Spike. Lou McLaurin on
the other side did a good job of
picking up these spikes. Doc
Dunn's strong strokes ran up the
junior score.

Sophomore players were Black-
mon, Caswell, Price, Fraser, Elli-
son, Anderson, Newton, and Merck.
Juniors were Treadwell, Orr,
Jones, Tucker, Mariani, McLaur-
in, Irwin, and Dunn.

Thus far, the sophomores and
juniors are tied in the champion-
ship line up. Each has lost one
game.

Branded Brats

Babies of the family have a reputation for being spoiled
brats.

Plenty of times, due to the nature of the creatures that
reputation is merited. Most of them, like our baby sisters,
the freshmen, grow up and turn out to be fine, upstanding
citizens with time and larnin'. But saddling them with a
spoiled-brat stereotype makes it mighty difficult for them
to be anything else.

And it is nice for the rest of Agnes Scott to proceed on
the surmise that the frosh are brats. That makes them com-
fortable things to have around if there is a gripe at loose
ends needing a target.

Breaking the line in the dining room, swaying the elect-
ions through organization are * charges aimed at the frosh
recently.

Whether they are guilty or not is beside the point now. The
point is not to brand them as brats for life and make them
campus scapegoats.

Sponsor's SOS

From time immemorial rescuing a person has been a praise-
worthy and rewarded act.

The cave man rescued his family from wild beasts and won
their love; Aeneas rescued his father from burning Troy and
won the praise of the gods; The World War II hero rescued
his buddies and won the Purple Heart; an Agnes Scott spon-
sor rescues a struggling freshman from utter despair and
homesickness, and what does she get?

In many cases it is no more than the appellation "sponsor"
on the secretary's roll.

Perhaps she deserves no other reward since she has not
risked her own safety as did her predecessors, the cave man
and Aeneas. But take note of the time and effort
every sponsor is required to give her up-and-coming fresh-
men.

Her task begins spring quarter with a training course on
how to acclimate a homesick, eager, or indifferent fresh-
men to Agnes Scott campus life. Then, during her summer
vacation, the sponsor empties bottles of ink corresponding
with her freshmen, sophomore helper, and other members
of Orientation committee.

When she finally gets the new addition tucked in Inman,
she begins the hardest struggle of all that of finding just
the right niche on campus for the new-comer. Then come
days of hard work not only with her own schedule adjust-
ments, but with those of the freshmen. Finally, after both
sponsor and freshman are doing fine, she sticks close-by to
see that all is well.

The first reward, it would seem, should come from the
freshmen themselves for a job well-done. But like the all-
day sucker the five-year old gets for being a good boy, a
few points, even temporary ones, on the point system would
be a well-deserver reward. R. A.

Praise 'A La Mode

As quickly as spring comes to the campus, as surely as it
rains on Saturdays, faces entering the dining room the last
few days have been neon lights of approval for the lucious
fruit salads, pie a la modes, and spicy cool glasses of tea.

Trite but true is the phrase, a college girl travels on her
stomach. We re not, unfortunately, cast iron, and palate tick-
ling delicacies have put as much zest into our appetites as
spring air and golf. With such .tempting arrangements even
the traditional spring deseases of fever and Jove can't get a
tummyhold.

Bouquets to the dietitions!

Bagwell Finds Your Right to Say It
Nightwatching
Entertaining

Editor, the News:

By AX ( i IE ANDERSON

Midnight on the Quadrangle:
"Mr. Jones! Mr. Jones! I left my
alarm clock in Murphey Candler,
and I've just got to get it. I have
an exam tomorrow, and I've jus,t
gotta Oh! You aren't Mr. Jones!"

The shadow that had material-
ized was considerably shorter and
broader than the familiar one of
Mr. Jones. He wore a cap and the
silver police badge, and I heard
him pull out the heavy ring of keys
but

Another shadow stepped up, and
the voice of Mr. Jones explained,
"This is Mr. Bagwell, your new
night watchman. I'm teaching him
the ropes."

And that's how I met Mr. Bag-
well. Since then I've run into
him numerous times (on the col-
onnade and such), and I've man-
aged to glean a little information
about him. He hails from Green-
ville, S. C, but he and his wife
have lived in Atlanta for the past
fifteen years.

He informed me that this was
his first experience at "night
watching," but he assured me,
"I've worked late at night before
and don't get a bit sleepy".

When I asked him where he
worked before, Mr. Bagwell told
me about his work in a bakery.
He was the man whom we all envy
the one who puts the filling in
the cakes.

He chuckled appreciatively
when asked how he liked the col-
onnade. "Hmmmm! Everything's
really on the go about 12 o'clock!"
(Says he thinks he'll enjoy the
work.)

A man with such a twinkle in his
eye must have been a mischievous
boy, not to say a bad one. What
were the dark secrets of his past?
"I'm trying to get around that
part," he said slyly grinning.

This friendly little man who
has inherited Mr. Jones' position
says he likes us "Everybody
smiles, you know."

If you haven't had the privilege
of meeting him yet^ just buy a
pineapple-filled cake (his favor-
ite), step out on the Quadrangle
between 7 p. m. and 6 a. m., and
scream: "Mr. Bagwell!" He's at
your service.

Copy Hook

Students in one dormitory who
were bothered by the noise of peo-
ple taking light cuts in the hall
outside their room found a method
for stopping the noise and the
studies. They politely removed and
hid the lamps from the study ta-
bles at 10:45 p. m. and returned
them to their place the next morn-
ing.

For seven months now, this
year's freshman class has taken
criticism after criticism without
any retort whatsoever. The fresh-
men so it was said were the
students who went "stingily" to
lectures; the freshmen broke
lunchlines: and finally, the fresh-
man, according to rumor, violated
all traditions of Agnes Scott by
fixing the student body elections
with a solid political block: We
have taken all this criticism with-
out seeming to care. However,
since we lately have been charged
with caring too much, silence no
longer seems golden it takes on
a yellow shade.

Answering the first charge, that
we did not show the proper appre-
ciation of a certain lecture, we
do not deny that certain members
of our class knitted, whispered,
wrote notes, etc. during the lec-
ture; but, an observer with the
same point of view as the author
of that criticism noted just about
as many upperclassmen doing the
same things that the freshmen
were criticised for.

To the second charge that we
are the students who continually
break lunch lines, we answer sim-
ply: N "Just look around every day
at 12:15!" 1

The third charge cannot be so
briefly answered. The former
president of student government
denied the possibility of any
classes being able to fix an elec-
tion. And we had thought that the
student body would be willing to
accept a report from the executive
committee they elected last year
without any votes from this year's
freshmen Nevertheless even
after that report was read in
chapel last Thursday, several in-
dividuals, who were perhaps "in-
terested," repeated the charges
made last week, saying that they
fully believed that the rumors

about a freshman political block
were true.

In all fairness to ourselves the
freshmen and to ; our new stu-
dent officers who were elected in
an entirely clean balloting, we
must answer:

Of course it is rather flattering
that a class which all year pre-
viously had been criticised for a
complete lack of unity should sud-
denly be considered so unified
that they were able to get toget-
her on all candidates they wished
to see in some forty of fifty of-
fices! We hardly feel inclined to
accept flattery at this point.

It is incredible that any student
at Agnes Scott, after the two and
a half years of mathematics re-
quired for entrance, should be
unable to make calculations that
any grammar school child is capa-
ble of. How, we ask you, could the
67 votes to be exact, the 66V2
votes of the freshman class be
so much greater than the 401 votes
of the remainder of the student
body that freshman elected whom-
ever they please despite the other
votes?

It is extremely unfortunate for
the whole school that certain in-
terested citizens were not interest-
ed enough to verify rumors
before repeating them. Now that
those charges have been made and
since the report from their old
executive committee was not ac-
cepted by some upperclassmen,
we can only emphatically deny
that the freshmen made any at-
tempt to fix student body elect-
ions. We ask that further infor-
mation be secured before further
criticism is made. It would be well
to remember that freshman have
more at stake in Agnes Scott than
any other class since they'll be
here longer.

An embarrassed soph, forget-
ting about the tea-dance Saturday,
paraded across the colonnade in
front of all the dressed-up females
and their dates with a beet red
face, a kerchief covering pin curls,
a gym suit, and a raincoat tail
flapping in the breeze.

, A glee club member was over-
heard singing a lilting tune about
the "boney lassies." The things
that inspire song writers!

By Mary Beth Little

The balloons are droopy, the
ivy is sere, the music has flown
away forever (probably mingled
with Presser discords and the mis-
ty library Delphi), programs are
carefully laid in containers (waste
baskets that is), flowers are crush-
ed (along with toes), the dance is
over gone but not forgotten. Cot-
illion's party was quite the suc-
cess; dancers in the ballroom, dorm
halls, science labs, and far tennis
courts enjoyed the Nomadic chro-
matics.

Interesting sidelight of intermis-
sion, which showed that even a
tea dance cannot change the true
Agnes Scott spirit: at the half
(score nothing to nothing) there
was a mad exodus from the ball-
room across the quadrangle to the
library.

The prize for this dash was that
necessary Bible or classics or his-
tory parallel. Spike-heeled dam-
sels in party frocks, left their
noisy shoes at the foot of the read-
ing room steps and tiptoed along
the shelves. Dates were impressed
needless to say.

Buzz

Speaking of mad dashes: Phia
Pedakis after a long telephone
tete a tete with Milwaukee, rush-
ed from the booth screaming de-
liriously, "I'm engaged; I'm en-

gaged!" Starry-eyed (and a few
green-eyed) friends surrounded
her. The noisy excitement clanged
the poor pigeons from their mid-
night roosts in the tower of Main.
Suddenly Phia paused and stage
whispered, "Shh don't tell any-
body."

Meow

One of the joys of being good
friends is that you can act as
though you aren't. "A paradox, a
paradox, a most peculiar paradox,
ah hahaha ". Apologies to Gil-
bert and Sullivan and readers. To
continue:

Scene: dining room. Characters
(definitely): Nancy Francisco,
May Turner ,and unidentified by-
stander. Bystander: "Why is May
wearing dark glasses to dinner?"
Nancy (to May's face) Well, if
you looked like that you'd wear
dark glasses too."

Another case:

First girl, speaking of haggard
looking senior who staggered into
opera rehearsal a bit late and a
bit beat: "What's she been up to!"

Second girl: "Yale."

First: "Oh."

"Shhh," said the junior to her
exhuberant date as they walked
into the library.

"Why," he thundered innocently,
"Is someone asleep?"

Leaders Initiate
Training Program

Agnes Scott's first leadership
training program began Wednes-
day when about 35 girls attended
a meeting of campus leaders con-
ducted by Jane Meadows, chair-
man of the program and former
Student government president.

The second conference designed
to give new campus officers a
knowledge of parliamentary law
will be in McLean Thursday from
5 to 6 p. m.

Designed to provide electees
with a background for leadership
through facts and advice from for-
mer officers, the first conference
took the form of an open forum.
Qualities a leader should possess,
what being a leader involves, lead-
ership's opportunities and respon-
sibilities, ethics, and the position
of extra-curricula activities on
campus were topics discussed.

Agnes Harnsberger, ex-president
of Christian association; Genet
Heery, former president of Ath-
letic association; and Joanne Ben-
ton, ex-editor of the News, formed
a panel to lead the discussion.

Hutchens Queen
Of May Revels

A May Day of threatening
clouds, brief periods of tantaliz-
ing sunlight, and t chilly breezes
saw Sue Hutchens crowned queen.

The Mayor of the town right out
of merry old England, which cele-
brated "May Day Revels" in the
May Day dell Saturday, bestowed
the crown upon Sue as the grand
finale to the program. It was Ag-
nes Scott's first surprise crowning,
and not even the queen or mem-
bers of her court knew who was
elected in February.

Senior members of the court
were Betty Andrews, Virginia
Dickson, Mary Jane Fuller, and
Mynelle Grove.

New Rep Council
Has First Meeting

New Representative council will
have its first meeting Tuesday,
May 13 to discuss the disposition
of the functions formerly assigned
to World Service council.

Suggestions from old Represen-
tative council and W. S. C. con-
cerning the assignment of the dut-
ies will be considered.

Old Rep. council has suggested
that one big drive be divided into
three, sponsored by Athletic as-
sociation, Student government,
and Christian association respect-
ively with Representative council's
backing.

Under this plan, the treasurer of
student government with the treas-
urers of A. A. and C. A. would as-
sume many of the duties of W. S.
C. members.

To Visit Milledgeville

Forty-five students of Miss Kath-
erine Omwake's abnormal psychol-
ogy class plan a trip to Milledge-
ville, for May 14.

Leaving at 6 a. m. in a charter-
ed bus, the class will spend the day

Lecture Associationto Sponsor
R. Moley In Season s Finale

As the season's finale Lecture
association offers Raymond Mol-
ey who will speak on "Can We
Have State's Rights without Sec-
tionalism?" May 15 in Presser
Hall.

Mr. Moley, will discuss what
seems to him "the greatest polit-
ical problem we have."

In a letter which he wrote in
January Mr. Moley states, "I will
try to review the forces which
seem to me to be moving toward
a change in the basic economy of
the country and which will alter
the reasons why the South is solid
and, incidentally, why part or the
North is solid."

Born in Ohio, Mr. Moley received
academic degrees from Baldwin-
Wallace, Oberlin and Columbia
University. Since 1923 he has been
professor of public law at Colum-
bia University.

Roosevelt selected Mr. Moley
as personal assistant for the for-
mulation of policy for his presi-
dential campaign of 1932. He ac-
companied Roosevelt to Washing-
ton and served as Assistant Sec-
retary of State during the famous
one hundred days' Congress of
1933.

Today he is columnist for News-
week and special writer for "To-
day" as well as a syndicated news-
paper columnist.

W. S. C Holds
Last Meeting

World Service council, feeling
that it can no longer serve the
college community, will disband
at its Wednesday night meeting
at Miss Carrie Scandrett's home.

Formed at the beginning of the
war the council's present members
feel that the council is a war-time
organization and has outlived its
usefulness.

During the war years the coun-
cil served the war effort by or-
ganizing the campus in first aid
and nutrition courses, air raid
drills, rolling bandages, and col-
lected money for Red Cross and
the Community War Fund.

The present work of the coun-
cil will be taken over by other
organizations on campus. Student
treasurer will conduct money
drives and Christian association
will work with World Student Ser-
vice Fund. Speakers on current
affairs will be sponsored by Inter-
national Relations club and the
dances at Lawson will be under
the direction of Cotillion club.

Representative council will dis-
cuss the dissolving of World Ser-
vice council at their meeting
Thursday.

MARY MANLY Dooley's choice for Queen of the Frolics.

Manly Reigns
With Dooley

"Beams of pride have shone all
-over campus since last Saturday
night when Mary Manly was
* crowned Qneen of Dooley's frol-
ics at Emory.

Agnes Scott's well represented
group chrewed their nails and flow-
ers in suspense along with a mass
of gay dancers as the fraternity
sponsors and their dates glided
cacross the floor at the climax of
the three Dooley parties. Then
Dooley began to wander snooping-
4y about, eyeing each beauty from
her wavy pompadour to her mash-
ed toes. Down went a few more
.Agnes Scott nails as Jean Fraser,
Carol Giles, Nelda Brantley, and
Mary Manly continued to dance.

Finally the moment came. Doo-
ley too"k Mary by the hand and
led her up to the stage where he
handed her the shining cup amid
a burst of applause.

to a more Cabah-like existence.

"Gypsy Tea House" may become
a weekly feature, Miss Betty
Hayes, head of the Tea house, an-
nounced. It is designed to give
girls a chance to entertain or just
to partake of refreshments in
more party-like surroundings.

Miss Hayes asked that girls call

Wheel Elects
Fifth Beauty
Mary Mohr

Third Main scored again this
week as Mary Mohr became the
fifth Wheel-girl-of-the-week.

A brunette, whose birthday is
tomorrow (sweet and 20 in case
you're interested). Mary hails
from Anchorage (that's near
Louisville). Ky. The traditional
green eyeshade helped accentuate
the black, red and white plaid
dress with a wide black belt which
Mary was wearing Monday after-
noon, as Moffett Kendrick, man-
aging editor of the Emory publi-
cation, bestowed the honor.

No sooner than "Mo" emerged
from the "House of Learning", she
was confronted by another
"Wheel" from Emory, Worth Mc-
Dougaid, who sought to interview
her.

The first question (naturally)
was "Would you allow a boy to
kiss you on the first date?" "NO,"
Moffett replied, before Mary had
a chance to answer. And that
settled that.

Ed. note The Wheel came a-
visiting this week and told its own
story. )

Coronation, Senior Opera, Guests Spark Gala Weekend

Hillbilly Antics A La Seniors
Air Talent, Burlesque Operas

By Charlisie Smith

"Mountain Airia" a Metropolitan medley served senior
style Saturday night, rang down the curtain on the colorful
festivities of May Day.

The antics of the Satterfield family and of their mountain
neighbors provided the spectators with a hilarious conglome-
ration of freckled faces, be-rib-

boned pigtails, jeans, bare feet, all-
day suckers, "chewing" tobacco,
shooting irons, (jugs of mountain
dew, genuine hillbilly twangs and
a band second only to Spike Jones'.
"Opry" Spirit Caught

Returning from the big city,
where they saw "Aida", "Madame
Butterfly" and "The Marriage of
Figaro", the Satterfields regaled
the whole community with glow-
ing, but confused, accounts of all
three operas put together. Catch-
ing the "opry" spirit, the neigh-
bors decided to stage a local pro-
duction of the opera about which
the Satterfields had told them.

The resulting burlesque took
Rattymes Pinkham from his nat-
ive Egypt to Japan where he and
his companion, Vigaro, visited Miz
Butterfly and where he was ar-
rested as a spy glue to the mis-
interpretation of a sweet nothing
he whispered into her ear. Sent
back to Egypt to be buried alive,
he literally had one foot in the
grave when the mountain audience
wrought up over the injustice be-
ing done, stormed the stage to
rescue the tragic hero and his
lover, Aheata.

Dignity Cast Aside

Using every trick of the trade
throughout the production, the
seniors cast aside their dignity to
provide a rich array of humorous
situations. For instance, the sud-
den appearance of a stray char-
acter into the burlesque opera
failed to disturb its peanut-crun-
ching mountain audience, but sent
the real audience into hysterics
when Pa Satterfield hotly informed
him that he belonged in the next
,act.

Even a touch of local color ap-
peared now and then. A sympa-
thetic sigh arose as seven mute
relatives marched in to chaperone

Butterfly on her date. Clem pleas-
ed several kindred spirits when
she looked at her "posey" with
dreamy eyes.

All in all, the opera was a huge
success. Credit goes to every mem-
ber of the senior class, but par-
ticularly to Nellie Scott, chair-
man of the project. ,

Future Jr. Sponsors
To Choose Helpers

Future junior sponsors picked
sophomore helpers at their second
meeting Monday at 5 p. m. in
preparation for welcoming the
class of '51 next fall.

Members of the present fresh-
man class will be invited to serve
as helpers some time this week.

The duties of sophomore help-
ers are to be extended next year
to give them more of an opportun-
ity to know the freshmen.

Seniors To Select
Alumnae Leader

Election of group leaders will be
completed tonight at 9:30 ending
the series of Alumnae parties for
the class of '47. Next week the
group leaders will begin a cam
paign for membership in the assoc
ciatjon.

The class of '46 set a record last
year as the first class to have one
hundred per cent membership be-
fore graduation. The present sen
iors are aiming for this goal.

At these informal parties the
seniors learned about the work of
the Alumnae office and had an
opportunity to make suggestions
about the work of the association
on campus.

Committee To Announce
Class Cup Winner Soon

The class spirit cup will be
awarded sometime within the next
two weeks, Sister Davis, presi-
dent of Student government, an-
nounced.

The presentation will be made
to the peppiest class in an un-
usual chapel program. The com-
mittee who decide on the class
to hold the cup for a year is com-
posed of S. G. Stukes, dean of the
faculty, Miss Louise Hale of the
French department, and Mrs. Re-
bekah Clarke of the music de-
partment.

Freshman Class Hostesses
Give 'Coming Out Party 7

By Jane Alsobrook

Now that the lavish Driving Club debuts are over, Agnes
Scott, not to be outdone, had its coming out party Saturday
for a bevy of Atlanta high school seniors and 14 out-of-town-
ers, one coming all the way from New Orleans!

Some claim that they saw klieg lights burning on campus,
but we know that these were just '

the dazzled looks in the visitor's
eyes as they were escorted by the
freshmen from dorm to science
hall to gym to May Day. Dressed
in picture hats and prints,, they
struggled around, vainly trying
to make their spiked heels keep
step with their guide's summer
play shoes. The comment most
frequently heard was: "Oh, Ag-
nes Scott is fine, but is it always
so hard on your feet?"

The visitors were very much
impressed by our quiet library,
and by the frosh ability to find
their way around the stacks.

They also acquired a great deal
of information about the college,
such as:

"No, you don't have to take a
faculty chaperone to Decatur or
on a campus date."

"It is positively permissible to

go to Atlanta." And they were
very surprised to learn that the
Scott faculty were not "prunes')
Unquote.

One high school girl had a very
athletic freshman for a guide. The
visitor was shown the new volley
ball courts.

"You do love volley ball, don't
you?" asked the frosh.

The visitor sadly admitted that
she didn't. Then she was shown
the hockey field.

"Aren't you crazy about hock-
ey?"

The visitor ashamedly shook her
head. And so on at the basketball
court, the swimming pool, the ten-
nis courts, and down at the rid-
ing ring.

"Well," said the freshman, dis-
gustedly, "then what do you like?"

Well, we hope that all the vis-
itors liked Agnes Scott, and that
we will "be seeing them."

Emory Summer Session
To Begin June Sixth

Emory summer school will open
June 16 and last until August 30
to enable students to obtain a full
quarter's work.

The time for registration for the

Reviewer From Emory Melts
Over May Day Program
As His Cold Teeth Chatter

By Moffett Kendrick

Holding my date's hand to combat the slight chill that pre-
vaded Saturday, I strolled across the green Scott campus
toward the amphitheater to witness the event of the year,
May Day that is. It was a perfect day noses were red and the
crowd gathered was shivering in unison.
We started down the steps by '

the gymnasium. I was as excited
as a kid going to his first circus.
A lovely young thing stopped me
cold fitting word with, "Buy
your tickets here, please." I fum-
bled for a press card. Then I paid
her.

Dramatic Entre

After squashing a half dozen
spring bonnets and falling down
three tiers of seats, I sat down.
Then the cold air set in.

All of a sudden a piano began
playing and voices issued forth
from somewhere in the bushes. I
started a wild charge for said
shrubbery, but was hit over the
head by my date. Lives were
saved.

Then some guy, I mean girl,
dashed out on the stage and jump-
ed to all corners of the place. I
guess she was as cold as we were.
She tried to blow a horn, but
somebody evidently had stuffed it
with paper, for she couldn't get a
note out of it.

Hunter Sans Dogs
When she left the program
said she was a Hunter, but we
never did see any dogs around
more girls came out. They did a
little dance which was good, but
thought the Hunter was better.
The second bunch didn't have on
tights.

I must have been smack in the
middle of a dense bunch of peo-
ple, for none could figure out what
the program \called Jack-In-The-
Green. Someone said it was a
tree. That must be some country
what with trees walking, men
wearing their hair long and hav-
ing legs that would make a blind
man whistle.

I wanted to chuck the "little
baby" on the Hobby-horse under
the chin. "Fair flowers do not
long remain by the roadside."

It was too bad the Townfok did
not pay for the flowers handed out
by the Flower Boy. The proceeds
would have been much larger by
selling to the audience.

Bumpkin By-Play
For the next five minutes I was
unable to take in the complete
scene being presented. The by-
play of the country bumpkin and

the sharp cutie took all my atten-
tion.

After that two rubber bands
took over and gave everyone a
slight case of the jitters with
their antics.

The most symbolic part of the
pantomime was the fortune teller
act. The poor man supposedly a
man didn't have a chance, as us-
ual, losing everything.

Sarah Finley Rogers' strength
amazed me. How she managed to
leap through the air with the
greatest of ease in all that armor
is still unbelievable. What a gal.
Queen on the Scene

And so it went. All the way
through, women, women, women.
Until finally, I won that lottery
when Sue Hutchens was crowned
Queen of the May by the Lord
Mayor, Louisa Beale.

Suzie was a sight for sore eyes
as she was led to the coronation
pillow in the center of the stage.
Getting away from nonsense for
the moment, the ceremony was
beautiful and carried out with a
pomp and dignity deserving of the
stately beauty.

Yessir, the Emory Wheel cer-
tainly knows how to pick them.

After the coronation, a gay
group of lassies proceeded to spir-
itedly go through the dance of the
Maypole.

Gala Finale

With Her Majesty Queen Sue
leading the way with a big broad
happy grin, the May Day cast
formed the Grand March reces-
sional.

Upon reaching the rear of the*
amphitheater, all ran like mad,
blue limbs flying toward more*
suitable clothing.

All in all, the program was nice.
So far as this Agnes-Scott-News-
appointed critic is concerned, the
affair was one large success, na
holds barred.

On the Ball

By E. Claire Cunningham

Necessity is the mother of invention or so the old saying
goes. Last week when only four people showed up for a
make-up volley ball practice a game of doubles was played
that proved quite exciting. Betty Beddingfield and E. Claire
Cunningham played Sara K. Wilkinson and Val von Lehe.
One person serves and the other plays net just as in tennis.
Of course the court is a little big so you can cut it down to
suit yourself. In fact you can do most any old thing in this
unique game.

Archery is proving to be quite expensive this year or so
B'Ames Tilden is trying to convince her classes. She is at-
tempting to levy a six dollar fee on her pupils. When pinned
down she admits that the collection is really to buy a portable
sewing machine.

If this method fails she plans to put up boxes with, "She
lost her charm, when she raised her arm" and "Do friends
turn pale, when you exhale?" The connection between the
slogans, the boxes and the sewing machine is vague and if
you are wondering how this got in the sports column in the
first place it all happened in an archery class.

Answering the telephone in the gym can prove interesting.
You never know what some one is going to want at any rate.
It may be a reporter wanting some news or, as last week, a
person wanting to borrow our horses. Again it was a pro
tennis player wanting to give instructions here. And there's
the usual ones "Isn't it going to be too wet for tennis to-
day" or "What about riding today."

Comment from student at May Day "I don't see why they
don't make wraps to match the May Day Court dresses, they
always have to wear them anyway."

Athletic association delegates don't have quite the excit-
ing time to report that the debating and Student government
girls seem to have but there is a good story in the fact that
about 10 Saturday night the Shorter girls decided to drive
the fifteen miles to the Fla. line. On returning they had four
flat tires.

When Sheely Little was sprinting down the track to catch
the midnight train back she stopped a conductor and asked
him if this was the train to Atlanta. He replied, "Yes, but
you'll be there before we will if you don't slow down." Need-
less to say she slowed down to let the train catch up with her.

Sophs Lead
In Volleyball

Forced to shift to the gym be-
cause of the damp weather, the
sophomores and freshmen won two
hard fought games from the se-
niors and juniors Friday. The
soph-senior score was 35-26; the
frosh-junior, 31-22.

The sophs started their perpet-
ual lead when Betty Blackmon
served three straight points. At
the half they were ahead 20-9 in
spite of the seniors' good playing
led by Gene Goode and Ginny
Dickson. Valeria Von Lehe and
Jean Fraser were outstanding in
the sophomore line-up.

In a fast moving game the frosh
took an early lead only to be over-
taken midway through the first
half. With the serving of Jane
Sharkey they regained the lead
and were out front 18-11 at the
end of the half.

The juniors never challenged the
lead in the second half. Kather-
ine Dickey and Jane Sharkey were
stars for the frosh and Doc Dunn
and Virginia Tucker for the ju-
niors.

Line-ups were: Dobbins, Craig,
Home, Dickson, Miller, Turner,
Hoyt, Hough and Goode for the
seniors; Fraser, Blackmon, Du-
rant, Newton, Morris, Elmore,
Von Lehe, and Anderson for the
sophs; Neville, McLaurin, Wilkin-
son, Tucker, Marianni, Orr, Lit-
tle, Dunn, and Stewart for the
juniors; and Lawson, Evans, Moll,
Sharkey, Hatchel, Irvine, Dickey,
and Flournoy for the frosh.

that she grew up in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania. There she attended
an all-girl prep school, not too
strict, "but no make-up allow
ed." The awful memory of meeting
the Pittsburgh Tech boys on the
street in such an unfinished state
still haunts her.

Flabbergasted Speaker
Coming south at the end of her
sophomore year to a high school
was quite a change for Margie
in more ways than one. The only
extra curricular activity at prep
school was study; while in Hen
dersonville she "never cracked a
book." "I wasn't exactly a cum
laude student," she added.

The coed situation was another
difference between high school and
prep school. When she got up to
make her first speech in Hender-
sonville high school she was flab-
bergasted by the male faces be-
fore her.

When asked about high schoo)
activities Margie modestly explain-
ed them away. Friendship wjth
the glee club director accounted
for membership in the glee club,
she says. As to her participation in
dramatics, "I don't know whether
it was my face or figure that got
me those comic parts."

She disgustedly described her
part in the senior play; "I was the
lovey-dovey fiance had to gush
over everybody."

Any brother or sisters ? Yes, one
each. She has a fourteen-year-old
sister who "isn't planning to come
to Agnes Scott." "See what an
impression I make?" Marjorie
mourned. The other Major is (at-
tention please) a 21-year-old bro-
ther at Chapel Hill.

Sh Sleepy Summer
Summer plans are rather in-
definite yet except for one thing
sleep, and plenty of it! She does
hope however to visit all her "bud-
dy-buddies" "if they invite me."

Margie's intellectual powers are
seen in her "strawberry shortcake
tactics." "When they have it," she
asserted, "I always eat with peo-
ple who don't like to eat." (Huh?)

Margie anticipates & big year
working with her class on their
projects a class that she defini-

tely finds full of talent. The school
is expecting big things of Margie,
the girl in the Major position in
the freshman class.

C. A. Entertains
Freshman Class

The little quadrangle from 5:30
to 6:30 this afternoon will be the
scene of Christian association's
garden party for members of the

Guest speaker will be Miss Lou-
ise Hale, of the French depart-
ment, and the entertainment com-
mittee has planned to have a
string ensemble play throughout
the party.

B. J. Brown, freshman advisor,
urges all freshmen to attend in

Brighten That Corner Cabbages and Kings

Everybody may kid about how she came to college and
put on glasses before the first quarter was out but the im-
plications are tragic.

When a girl goes to an out-of-town dance and runs up
to someone else's date murmuring "darling" it's high time
there's an investigation.

Careful study shows that overworking of the eyes and
consequent near or far-sightedness results partly from the
unaccustomed work freshmen must do and partly from
the poor lighting facilities. Since nothing can be done about
the work, let's look at the lighting.

It's no matter to pooh-pooh w T hen each year a student
must change to stronger glasses. Since tradition says
upperclassmen don't study harder each year it must be the
lighting.

Our library may be beautiful and typically gothic in
architecture but must the lighting be typically gothic too?

A step has been made with the addition of a flourescent
lamp as an experiment in the stacks. Too few people, how-
ever, have heard about the experiment. Too many people
are still bending with crossed-eyes over their lessons.

By Mary Beth Little

Spring quarter is just one big maypole dance, with every-
one holding on for dear life to her frantic ribbon, just hoping
she won't stump her toe, or collapse with nervous lets-junk-

A. S. Spirit A Phantom?

Way back in the quarter it was that girls wrote songs and
songs and songs about what a wonderful school it is, this
Agnes Scott.

Pep was the order of the day.

We sang them too, for a week maybe. Does anybody rem-
ember words or tunes? It seems a shame that they should
die so young.

About that same time, mobs of people, comparatively
speaking, turned out for athletic events basketball, swim-
ming meets, sings. Lately volleyball teams have been play-
ing to empty stands.

Points for the class spirit cup are all in and counted, and
it looks as if spirit is all in too. If the pep was all synthetic,
manufactured for the specific purpose of copping said cup,
the droop is natural. The time of year is no doubt a con-
tributing factor too.

But a little spirit is a good antidote to spring fever and its
wilting effects.

Without it, the year drizzles out on a pretty sour note.

New System
Of Absences
n Debate

A voluntary class attendance
system as a substitute for the pre-
sent cut system was recommended
by the Committee on Absences
at a faculty meeting Friday.

The recommendation stipulated
that the system be put on an
perimental basis for one year. The
proposal was discussed and Ihe
Commissee on Absences was au-
thorized to present a plan carry-
ing out the principal of voluntary
attendance at the next faculty
meeting, May 31, when it will be
accepted or rejected.

The new system would do away
with the present arrangement pro-
viding for three cuts each quarter
for upperclassmen eligible for class
privileges. Students, except first
and second quarter freshmen and
those on the ineligible list, would
attend class at their own discre-
tion.

"The system of voluntary class
attendance which many of the
leading colleges are now under
places the responsibility upon the
student," Miss Carrie Scandreti.

Winchester Receives
Chi Beta Phi Award

Laura Winchester, chemistry
nonor student and former presi-
dent of Chi Beta Phi, was present-
ed the senior science award which
is given annually to the most out-
standing member of Chi Beta Phi,
national honorary science frater-
nity.

The award, a key charm bear-
ing the coat of arms of Chi Beta
Phi, is offered by the grand nat-
ional chapter of Chi Beta Phi
through its local chapters. Each
chapter, however, is authorized to
set its own honor standards and
to elect the member who is to re-
ceive the key by these standards.

Ruth Bastin Slentz, president
of the local chapter, made the pre-
sentation on behalf of the mem-
bers, following a brief talk by
H. T. Cox, associate professor of
biology, on the history and ideals
of Chi Beta Phi.

various organizations, .

Recommendations were drawn
up to be presented to Rep council

of interest in and concern for the
conditions and affairs of other nat- .
ions be the theme for groups carry-

campus-wide program of public
instruction in international affairs
was also recommended.

The council's program of relief

Final recommendation was that

Kuniyoshi Tells
Of His Ideas
Concerning Art

Y a s h u o Kuniyoshi, Japanese-
American artist, visited the cam-
pus Thursday to "talk a little
about painting."

He told of the different periods
through which he passed while
learning to paint. First he painted
childhood dreams, thoughts and
ideals; then he went abroad to
study and was very much influenc-
ed by the realistic school of artists.

For the past ten years he has
tried to combine realism with im-
aginative understanding in an en-
deavor not only to put what is
seen on a canvas, but rather to
let what is seen permeate through
himself and be released in the pic-
ture.

Mr. Kuniyoshi stressed the fact
that a painting "does not always
come out right," that artists find
their work increasingly difficult
as time goes by, each finding his
own individual style and method,
through constant experimenting.

Always, he pointed out, the art-
ist must remain sincere in expres-
sing truth as he sees and feels it
and maintain a sense of universal
values which transcends his per-
sonal experience and contributes
to the enduring culture of the
world.

Mr. Kuniyoshi "never uses per-
spective," and he finds his tools in
rags, sable brushes, or his hands.
He confessed a secret delight in
worms and grasshoppers, and a
sympathy with students who must
"go in (to class) go out, same
thing every day."

Tom Fulton associate editor of

"Americans, and even some peo-
ple in Europe, don't really know
what war is. It's nothing to blame
them for they did their part as
a nation. But you can't know what
war is until you've been in it."

Certainly no one is better qual-
ified to say this than the person
who did Eva Finkelstein from Po-
land who plans to enter Agnes
Scott as a junior next fall. At pre-
sent Eva is auditing some classes
here.

After graduating from a Polish
high school, the equivalent of going
through two years of college in
the United States, Eva attended
Warsaw University. Her first year
there was interrupted by the
threat of war.

When the first German bomb
fell on Warsaw, Eva was working
for an export firm there. "At first
we thought it was only a practice
drill, but," she added, "the bomb-
ing lasted all night and the next
morning."

Escaping from Warsaw six days
later, Eva went home on foot. The
usual six-hour trip took four days.

After two years at home as
"head of the family" under alter-
nate German-Russian rule, Eva re-
turned to Warsaw to become a
part of the underground movement.
The memory of the Warsaw Rev-
olution, in which she lost many
friends, is still very vivid to her.

Soon after this revolution Eva

was captured by the Germans. She
was first put into a concentration
camp in Poland; then she was sent
to Vienna where she spent six
weeks in a labor camp, and from
there she was sent to work in
Salzburg, where she was when the
town was liberated.

With the war over, only three of
the family of six have been re-
united. Her father and brother
were shipped to Siberia, and a
sister died during the war.

Of the day of liberation, Eva
can only murmur again and again,
"Wonderful day! Wonderful day."

"I wish you could have seen it,"
she said in describing this day she
waited for so long. "Salzburg is
surrounded by big beautiful moun-
tains, with broad white roads run-
ning down through them. I had
some field-glasses, and through
them I sighted the American
troops coming double-file down
these roads out of the mountains.
They were very excited, probably
because they were close to Berch-
estgarten, Hitler's home. It was
wonderful!" And seeing Eva's face
as she tells it, you know that it
was.

In Volleyball

The seniors beat the juniors 24-
17 in Friday's volleyball game. The
sophs won the last game from the
frosh 43-17.

For a while it looked like the
seniors weren't going to be able
to present a team but after some
delay the game began. Short per-
iods of ten minutes each were play-
ed. The score remained close
throughout the first half and end-
ed 12-11 for the seniors.

In the second half, however, the
seniors began to put over serves
that the juniors were unable to
cope with. Most of the returns
went fo Ann Hough who sent them
to the first line which sent them
over for a point. Both teams were
handicapped by the absence of
some of their veteran players.

The seniors who played were
Dobbins, Asbury, Home, Miller,
Dickson, Turner, Hoyt, and Hough.
Juniors playing were Little, Orr,
Wilkinson, Cunningham, McLaur-
in, Tucker, Treadwell, and Dunn.

Teamwork was the secret of
the sophs' success over the frosh
Friday afternoon. The game was
an unusually fast one and both
teams seemed in very good form.
Betty Blackmon was starring serv-
er for the sophomores.

The sophs playing were Black-
mon, Merck, Davis, Fraser, Mc-
Leod, Elmore, Anderson, and New-
ton. The freshmen line up was
Lawson, Moll, Hatchel, Sharkey,
Davis, Dickey, Evans, and Irvine.

Practice for Panic?

Fire drills are necessary.

Even in the early morning hours Agnes Scotters stumb-
ling down the stairs will grudgingly nod their sock-bound
heads in agreement.

Bells must be rung, roommates awakened, windows clos-
ed, towels soaked and a hasty exit accomplished but

Fire drills must be effective.

The tinny bell brings us from a dream date to startled con-
sciousness and the immediate- realization is it's just a
practice. Resignedly you fall out of bed, put on a housecoat,
leave Jhe windows for the Lower House representative to
close, soak the tip of your towel to moistjen it, and drag your-
self down for a roll call.

The ding-a-ling bell rang. It's just a practice.

Fire drills are supposed to develop immediate, instinctive,
cool-headed action. Bells for fires and bells for drills should
be the same. Since the legitimate alarm is automatically con-
nected with the sprinkler system a facsimilie should be found.
Otherwise in case -of fire the only instinctive action will be
a re-enactment of Pandemonium, Agnes Scott starring.

And while we're developing coordination how about a turn
in the right direction, toward the fire escapes?

In predicting panic without proper practice we may not be
giving the student body credit. If so, why have fire drills at
all?

Fire drills are necessary, yes, but they are only effective
when they train the student body to cope with the exact sit-
uation, using the identical equipment as when the actual
events occur. L. L.

So much for Aunt Lizzie's little

ters usually discussed in this
string of type.

Animal Crackers

From all we gather, the last
meeting of World Service ended
with more talk of the animal world
than ours. At any rate these facts
came to light: Blue eyed kittens
are deaf. Blue eyed rabbits are
epileptic. Cows haven't any upper

Speaking of science (not that we

broken up when Charlotte Bart-

Then there was the sophomore

gotten so bad lately she really
ought to see an obstetrician about

Lectures Lauded

Every type of intellect has had its day and almost every in-
terest in need of well-informing has had a lecture aimed right
at it.

Poetry, foreign affairs, science, and now domestic govern-
mental problems are the subjects expounded by speakers
in Lecture association's series this year. Each subject has
been presented to us by one who knows whereof he speaks.

The varied program has helped in expanding our horizons;
the contact with the great or near-great has helped in de-
veloping our personalities.

On Display

Before the days of stuffed apartments and trailer-houses
a good way to judge a family was to take a peek at their back-
yard.

The verdict was, of course, pretty bad if the yard was
cluttered with paper, orange peelings, and roller skates. On
the other hand, a well-kept flower bed, closely cropped grass,
a few freshly-painted lawn chairs went a long way toward
making a good impression.

Agnes Scott has not, however, felt the pangs of the crowd-
ed apartments and trailer-houses; instead she still has her
spacious quadrangle, her glossy magnolias and her trim
lawns.

And there are probably a few people left who still judge
families, even college families, by their back yards. Agnes
Scott actually has no back yard. Instead, all the grounds are
on display. They are on display for everybody who comes
on campus. The grass is cut; the flowers are in bloom; the
shrubbery is trimmed.

The students take it from there. If the campus is littered
with trash it is an indictment of them as individuals and it
invalidates all the blooming and well-groomed features. R. A.

"Care if I smoke?"

She: "No thank you, but you go
right ahead."

Then there was Mr. Dieckmann's
little joke as he put about thirty
dates on the board for his music
appreciation class: "Well, I guess
that ought to be enough dates to
go around."

A liberal education is a won-
derful thing, but isn't it amazing
the way we can pull tricks which
make the effort seem entirely
vain! F'rinstance, turning a cam-
era upside down so you could get
a picture of what things look like
that way. This was done by a jun-
ior in her right mind, and witness-
ed by one in like state. Take it or
leave it.

Crudest deed of the week: leav-
ing a tube of shoe polish on the
lavatory, which of course was
promptly used by an unknowing
friend-in-need. Does polish demol-
ish ? See the next issue of the Den-
tist's Journal. And remember kid-
dies, "Paste makes waste."

her daughter's taking a cat from
a lab "for extra study, poor dear."
And another mother intimated she
had learned much English right
along. Otherwise, it was a most
happy event.

Platitude for the week: Mar-
riages are made in heaven. But
then, so are storms.

Dot Morrison's sister told Dot
over the telephone Sunday night
that she knew a boy who was just
dying to meet her. "He's seven-
teen years old," added the excit-
ed sister. "But don't you think
that's a little young for me?"
inquired Dot. "Yes, but he's really
old for the eighth grade," came
back the quick retort.

Jackman Cites
Jewish State
As Solution

"The only thing that can now
forestall the armies of Russia is
the establishment of a Jewish state
in Palestine," said Dr. Theodore
Jackman, Executive Director of
the Palestine Research Institute,
in a lecture here Friday night.

"Without a free Jewish state,"
he declared, "Palestine will be-
come a battle ground in the near
future."

An authority on the problems
of Palestine, having lived there
several years and visited every
place of importance mentioned in
the Bible, Dr. Jackman explained
his theory that the whole trouble
in Palestine is the interference of
foreign powers in Palestinian af-
fairs.

Very much interested in ac-
quainting the rest of the world
with the true facts concerning the
Arabs and Jews, he repeatedly
emphasized the fact that "there
are no displaced Arabs in Pales-
tine." He pointed out that the
Arabs are living in much better
circumstances since the arrival
of the Jews with their doctors,
nurses, and schools.

"The Arabs of Palestine love
and appreciate the ministry ~f
these Jews who have gone r^o
this land with its poverty and are
carrying out one of the greatest
missionary programs I have seen
throughout Europe," he asserted.

Dr. Jackman's lecture was spon-
sored by the American Association
of University Women for the In-
ternational Study Grant fund.

Describing his travels through
Palestine, Dr. Jackman said, "Arm-
ed with several thousand feet of
colored movie film, two cameras,
and a light meter, I started out."

After his lecture, he showed
some colored pictures, made on
his tours through the countries of
the Near East, to emphasize the
fact that there is plenty of room
in Palestine for both Jew and
Arab to live in prosperity.

shown during this school year.
Your contribution to the World
Service fund of $400, the entire
proceeds of Junior Joint and your
efficient handling and deposit of
this money was an outstanding
service. Secondly your decision not
to wear corsages at your banquet,
but to give the money to be spent
for flowers to the World Service

the part of your class.

The council appreciates your co-
operation and feels that your class
is striving to fulfill the fifth ideal
of our college that of service.

Commencement Sees 118 Win Diplomas

Harris Finds Solution
For Social Chaos
In Broader Education

A broader and more moral education to provide the way to
a finer concept and equality of public and private living and
to prevent the social chaos now facing America was demand-
ed by President Rufus C. Harris of Tulane university today.

Speaking at commencement exercises in Gaines chapel, Dr.
Harris said that "it does seem ob

vious that this nation is headed
toward an era beset with extremes
of action."

"I do not understand how any
thoughtful person can escape the
evidences of this condition," he
said. "The headlines of any news-
paper proclaim the fact. A social
order must be conceived as a
moving equilibrium. Ours is losing
balance."

To achieve this equilibrium, Dr.
Harris explained that "we as a
people must comprehend more ex-
tensively the great ideas and forc-
es which made the world, and
know something more of the ideals
that wander through eternity. Here
I do not suggest merely more
knowledge but knowledge com-
bined with an active will to use
it tor the common good."

The Tulane president pointed
out that "intellectual competence,
important as it is, will not provide
the power to cope with our future
until it creates in the human
spirit a regard for unselfishness,
reliability and sound workman-
ship."

Weakness in Education

"The essential weakness of edu-
cation in this century has been
the acquisition of knowledge with-
out moral determination of its
use," he said. "Education reaches
everything that helps to consti-
tute a civilization but it must do
more. In the university it must
gather, preserve, add to, transmit
and make of service not only all
that is best in the practical field,
but all that is best in the field of
man's spiritual development. Its
highest office is contributing to
discovery of truth, appreciation
of beauty, and growth of char-
acter Knowledge is not valuable
unless in some way it is used for
the good of others."

Immediate Task

"That is the expression the
world demands of education if
the peace is to be made peaceful,"
Dr. Harris continued. "Our im-
mediate task therefore is to con-
struct, preserve and nourish a
pattern of learning and living ade-
quate to satisfy this demand.

"Whoever attempts to manage
society the second half of this
century is bound to fail without
the broadest comprehension of
what the great thinkers of the
past have reflected on the state,
the church, and indeed on all man-
kind. With anything less compre-
hensive such managers may expect
that eventually their own efforts
will become so inadequate that the
efforts themselves will nourish the
very forces which will destroy
them."

"All men of good will must
strive to avoid this," he stated.
"The university and the churches,
needing each other as they do,
should work closely and under-
standing^ with each other. More
deeply than anyone else they real-
ize that our real hope of the fut-
ure is an enlightened youth and

ALL '47 GRADS
JOIN ALUMNAE

Climaxing a three weeks cam-
paign for membership by the
Alumnae association, the class
of '47 reached the 100 per cent
mark to be the second class to
set this record before gradua-
tion.

The present seniors in an at-
tempt to outstrip in dollars as
well as equal in percentage last
year's 100 per cent-before-gra-
duation class topped them in in-
dividual donations averaging
about a $1.00 each.

Ten Selected for "47 Faculty

Ten new members have been
named to Agnes Scott's faculty
and administrative staff for next
year, Dr. J. R. McCain announced.

An addition to the biology de-
partment will be Miss Nancy Grose-
ciese who will be an instructor.
Miss Groseclese comes from Hol-
lins college where she has been
teaching.

Dr. Eugenia C. Jones will return
to Agnes Scott as college physi-
cian. Dr. Jones, who succeeds Dr.
Margaret V. Burns left the cam-
pus in '44 after serving as resi-
dent physician for five years. She
will live on campus with her hus-
band and small daughter.

Joining the physical education
department will be Miss Marjory
Lyon who will replace Mrs. Bar-
bara Ames Tilden. Mrs. Tilden
was married during Christmas hol-
idays and leaves to join her hus-
band. A graduate of Pennsylvania
State college, Miss Lyon has been
doing Y.W.C.A. work in Savannah.

Assisting in the library will be
Marjorie Carlson, '46 alumna of
Agnes Scott, Virginia Dickson and
Sweetie Calley, who are graduated
this year, and Miss Nora Phelps
who comes from Simmons college.

Other '47 graduates who will be
back as faculty members are Bet-
ty Jean Radford as an assistant in
the biology department and Genet
Henry as a fellow in biology.

Caroll Taylor will take over the
book store from Anne Register
who was in charge of it this year.

A. Pardington Cops
McKinney Award

Book lover of the year receiv-
ing the Louise McKinney Book
Award was Angela Pardington,
senior from Winston Salem, North
Carolina.

Of the other eight contestants
Jane Rushin, Atlanta, and Betty
Andrews from Flat Rock, North
Carolina, received honorable men-
tion.

Given annually the award of
$25 is based on the discrimination
and interest with which the con-
testant makes a collection of books
for her personal library over the
period of a year.

Angela, who graduated with
honor, made the honor roll her
junior and senior years and read
for honors in Greek. She was presi-
dent of Eta Sigma Phi, honorary
classics club, and a member of
Blackfriars.

Mrs. Marie Webb, once in
charge of the tea room, will be
back on campus as assistant ma-
tron to replace Mrs. Plowden who
resigned this quarter.

New head of the physics depart-
ment to suceed Dr. S. M. Chris-
tian, who is leaving Agnes Scott
to do research for the RCA lab-
oratory at Princeton, N. J., has
not yet been announced. The new
faculty member in the department
of economics and sociology to re-
place Miss Gertrude Natusch has
not been named. Miss Natusch
resigns to do special study in eco-
nomics.

'47 Silhouette Dedicated
To Miss C. Scandrett

The Silhouette has dedicated its
1946-47 issue to Miss Carrie Scan-
drett, dean' of students at Agnes
Scott.

Miss Scandrett, wiio :s an Ag-
nes Scott graduate, is now in her
twenty-first year of work with the
school. After getting her mas-
ter's degree from Columbia uni-
versity, she divided her time be-
tween the registrar's and the
dean's offices.

Betty Jean Radford
Wins Hopkins Jewel

Eight Receive Degrees With Honor;
Collegiate Prize Awarded Dieckmann

One hundred and eighteen students were graduated in the
Commencement exercises Monday morning which saw Betty
Jane Radford win the Hopkins Jewel and Adele Dieckmann
win the Collegiate Scholarship. Two graduated with high
honor and six with honor.

B. J., winner of the Jewel which
is awarded by a committee of the
faculty to the member of the
senior class who most nearly meas-
ures up to the ideals of Miss Nan-
ette Hopkins, former dean in
whose honor the award is given,
was president of Mortar Board
this year. A member of Phi Beta
Kappa, B. J. was the first win-
ner of the Jennie Sentelle scholar-
ship last year. She has participat-
ed in Student government activi-
ties, serving as secretary her jun-
ior year, and in athletics, having
made varsity in basketball and
hockey.

The qualities upon which the
judges base their decision in mak-
ing this award are service, ability
to cooperate, conspicious loyalty
to the college, physical fitness,
poise, and graciousness.

Rich's prize, a sum of $50 which
goes to the member of the fresh-
man class who makes the best all-
round record for the year, was
won by Polly Anna Philips, At-
lanta, Ga.

Dabney Adams, junior from Ash-
ville, N. C, was announced winner
of the Jennie Sentelle Houghton
scholarship. This scholarship, an
income of $400 on a fund estab-
lished by Dr. M. E. Sentelle, is
awarded on the basis of future

promise as indicated by character,
personality, and scholarship.

The Collegiate scholarship,
awarded to Adele Dieckmann, jun-
ior, goes to the student in the
class who makes the best iall-round
record for the year. It covers tu-

Field To Accept
Science Degree
From University

A doctor of science degree will
be bestowed upon Dean Field,
acting professor of mathematics,
by the faculty and trustees at
commencement exercises of Wil-
liamegge University, Salem, Ore.,
June 15. A graduate of the class
of 1897, Dean Fields will celebrate
his fiftieth year as an alumnus of
Williamegge, the reunion of the
Field family, five sisters and Dean
Field, and the graduation with
honor of a grand-nephew in the
class of 1947.

Dean Field, a resident of Atlan-
ta since 1906, taught mathematics
at Georgia Tech for 40 years be-
fore he came to Agnes Scott last
September.

Dr. Kissling Urges Discovery, Acceptance
Of Christian Values In Bacculaureate Speech

Couching the baccalaureate
sermon in the form of a personal
letter from a father to his gradu-
ating daughter, Dr. A. J. KissJing
emphasized that the graduate's
problem is "to know what is hon-
est and just and pure and lovely
and good," and, having "the privi-
lege of commencing," to know
"what to commence to do."

Following are excerpts from Dr.
Kissling's address Sunday in
Gaines.

"Our fathers lived in a world,
but our generation has been liv-
ing in a stream. Change is the
only permanent certainty. We have
lost the old sense of direction,
which was sure that we were head-
ed up stream toward an eventual
Utopia called 'the Kingdom of
God.' There seem to be a prevail-
ing pessimism among passengers
that we are drifting downward.

T hope you will not fall into
easy conclusions of pessimism, for
the world today desperately needs
men and women who have accept-
ed for themselves certain stand-

ards that can not be destroyed,
who will believe that this is God's
world, that in Jesus Christ there
is the final answer, that holy love
is the law eternal, and that the
kingdoms of this world will yet
become the kingdoms of Christ.
These words may be merely the
'Shibboleths' of a well-worn faith,
but again they may be burning
imperatives for our desperately
needy hour.

"If we, Christians, are self-de-
ceived we need desperately more
self-deceived people. The authority
of the Christian testimony rests on
the accomplishment of the cen-
turies.

"In the final analysis, authority
in the realm religious can not rest
on second hand religion. The
search for religious certainty be-
gins and ends with your individual
experience. This is the time to com-
mence to experience the immedi-
ate authority of Christ.

"How is the world of our day
to receive this Christian influ-

ence? The cynical pessimist can-
easily say, 'If I were God I would
have made a better world.' But
the Christian optimist answers,
That's why God put you here, get.
busy.'

"I am persuaded that faith
abides in you. That faith will en-
able you to see life whole and. to
make you aware of the desperate
needs around you. I would sug-
gest you keep yourself alerted
spiritually.

"Let's not take ourselves too
seriously. I think Christians should
be the supreme optimists in the
world. He will not always find
life easy, but his faith brings the
victory, therefore he may always
rejoice.

"There are two basic counsels
on the manner of keeping your
poise in the midst of difficulties. .
First, of all, let us not think more
highly of ourselves than we ought.
Humility becometh the saint of
the Lord. Secondly, discipline your
life to know that wealth which
comes from useful living."

Sophia Prophetically Unveils Future for Seniors
Sights Stars, Predicts Success for Class of '47

By Sophia Pedakis

Unaccustomed as I am to Siam
Would I were there than where I
now am

Under the persimmon tree I was
sitting

Calmly dropping stitches from my

knitting
When they came and told me
"Our seer and prophet you must

be."

So I dusted off my crystal ball
And as I peered within it it told
all

Much of which I cannot repeat
Too many seniors would squirm in

their seat.
But this much the crystal ball un-
folds

Of what the future for you holds:

Listen, my children, and you shall
hear

With half a smile and half a tear
The results of your career.

When in the course of human
events

It became necessary for the class
of '47

To leave their past to heaven
And assume among the powers of

the earth
With great rejoicing and equal

mirth

Their separate and equal station
They accepted without hesitation
The great responsibilities of the
nation.

Jane Meadows is our new presi-
dent

The country finds a new content
In her wise and just government.

Alice Beardsley managed her cam-
paign

In spite of which she's still quite
sane

And loves to quote King Lear
From William Shakespeare.

Secretary of the Interior
Christina Yates
Finds politics inferior
To dates.

In charge of price control is Caro-
line Squires

Who has her troubles with rents
and tires

But Carole Taylor what a job
has she

She's Secretary of the Treasury!
But her experience with Mr. Tart
Has made her really quite smart!

Jean Williams and Barbara Wilson

are way ahead
Of them great things are said
They've made the atom bake
A chocolate devil's food cake. -

Helping out the nation
Is Barbara Sproesser's radio sta-
tion

Sarah Smith announces every
hour

And tells housewives why milk
.gets sour.

Frances Ford was quite bored
Until she swallowed a sword
Now she performs daily
At Barnum and Bailey.

B. A. Zeiglcr has quite a career
She's a tobacco auctioneer.

June Thomason eloped with a buc-
caneer

Who carried her to another hem-
isphere.

Dale Bennett went to Princeton
And married a debater

Now her young son
Calls her mater.

Kathleen Buchanan and Lidie Lee

those bright lasses
Are back at Agnes Scott teaching
classes

How to expand their diaphram
While singing "How dry I am."

Of Nellie Scott we see a lot
More power to this Hottentot
She designs garments of crepe
That are perfectly splendid for
shape.

Angela Pardington raises cocker

spaniels
And writes scholarly manuals
On "How to Teach Dogs Plato"
And their Alpha Beta.
Margaret Kinard wrote a book
The Buffalo was the theme she

took.

With Peggy Pat Home's illustra-
tions

It is a classic for all generations.
By all the popular polls
The Putlizer Prize goes to Rose-
mary Jones
For her history of the telephones
Entitled, "For You the Bell Tolls."
Ann Wheeler and Glassell Beale
Invented a quick-frozen meal
Including everything from soup to
nuts

For Veterans' wives living in Huts.
Betty Routsos and Jean Rentz are

nurses *
Who in their spare time write

verses,

They rhyme, sometime ....

Cissy Jeffries and Virginia Dick-
son, they say

Are dancing on Broadway

They'd rather rhumba than slum-
ber.

Kathryn Johnson and Nelson

Fisher
Are famous air aces.
They win first prize in all the

races.

Once they fell out of their plane
When asked how they felt, they
replied,

"We forgot to fasten our belt."
Anna George Dobbins and Mac
Craig

Scorn delights and live laborious
days

Raising onions because it pays
(Experience at Scott helps a lot).
Frances Sholes and Emily Harris
Just got back from Paris
n 'hey met Anne Kelly there
Telling perfumes rare.

tective

'ho is so terribly selective

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE

Lawyer Reveals Large Legacy

By Alice Beardsley

In the name of Agnes Scott College, Decatur, Georgia Amen:
I, the 1947 senior body being conscious of an approaching
failure in mind and memory, and having reached, remarkably,
the age of forty eight months, twelve of which I have spent
bracing myself for the other thirty six, born in

the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and forty three, and
being continually mindful of the
uncertainty, the transcience of
this body's life, do make, publish
in the Agnes Scott News and de-
clare this to be my last will and
testament, in manner following,
that is to say:

No body is master of its soul.
My 1947 senior soul will, after
my death, seek to lodge within
that body whose nature is most
like its own eternal, unalterable,
unchangeable and devinely un-
swayable. It will seek the faculty.
Body Bequeathed

My body is composed of many
elements. Which elements being
in conflict over the one most wor-
thy charity for which to bequeath
the estate in its entirety have de-
cided to divide said estate in ap-
propriate and fitting proportions.

The Betty Allen and Genet Hee-
ry element quite normal under or-
dinary circumstances, has an abil-
ity in all skits, stunts and senior
operas to appear most amazingly
dispossessed of all human attri-
butes. This ability is left to Mimi
Arnold who lacks such a talent.

The Fluff Paisley wishes that
Henrietta Johnson might have its
firm convictions that woman's
place is in the home and that
cooking breakfast for a husband
would be so thrilling!!!

The Jane Ruth Cooke would
like to leave to someone its deep
concern over its bad grades, but
since even in the after world there
will be books, it strongly feels
that it cannot leave behind this
deep concern.

Husbands Withheld

Also refusing to cooperate in
this will, is the Marguerite Born
Hornsby, Charlotte Clarkson
Jones, Virginia Lee McKenzie,
Mary Ann Martin Pickard, Nancy
Shelton Parrott element which has
found peace at last and firmly re-
fuses to bequeath to any charity '
worthy or unworthy the source
of its content.

The Margaret Kinard leaves a
flower in the field of History.

The beautiful section of my be-
ing composed of the Mary Jane
Fuller, Virginia Dickson, Betty
Andrews, Mynelle Grove, Sue Hut-
chens, knowing that all beauty
fadeth and dieth do leave what yet
remains to next year's freshman
class.

The Betty Ann Zeigler, Barbara
"Wilson, Frances Sholes, Mary
Brown Mahon part wishes that its
silent and simple manner might be
perpetuated and so do not be-
queath these charms to any one
person but to all of Agnes Scott
for generations to come.

Blue Jays Included

The Helen Currie, Millie Evans
and Barbara Spoesser element
leaves its voices to the blue jays
because glee club still has some.

The Ann Hough leaves her ten-
nis racquet to Cathy Davis who
might, with the help of Ann's rac-
quet, be able to challenge some-
one and really win.

The Jane Meadows, Dot Peace,
Caroline Squires, Geva Harper,
Lilaine Harris, Marie Adams, El-
len Rosenblatt, Sarah Cooley, Dor-
is Riddick element has long been
able to ride around. In one great
unselfish effort it leaves its cars
for the administration and alumni

association to use in future as it
sees fit.

Agnes Scott Remains

The Nellie Scott leaves Agnes
Scott because her great grandfat-
her founded it and she doesn't
think it would be fair to take it
away with her.

The June Coley, Dorothy Gallo-
way, Anne Hill Jackson, Peggy
Mauney, Mickey Williams, Betty
Anne Routsos, Gus Harris and
Margaret Kelley segment leaves
its diaphragms and great force of
manner to the sophomores to cheer
its hockey team on to victory.

The Laura Winchester, Doris
Kissling, Betty Crabill, Beth Wal-
ton, Marjorie Harris, Chris Yates
division leaves the Science Hall
and expects Ruth Bastin Slentz
and Sheely Little to fill, their days
counting the drooling drops from
a burette, and watching the swings
of the pointer on a balance.

During my long lifetime here a
part of my senior body is now re-
cognized as a landmark in the
library. This library landmark
containing among others Margar-
et Bond, Sophia Pedakis, Bet Pat-
terson and Angela Pardington,
leaves the post reading 4 'The
truth shall make you free" to
others who may need such en-
couragement.

Commuter Problem Solved

The White House which con-
tains the Kathryn Johnson, Carol
Giles, Nelson Fisher and Kathleen
Buchanan leaves to Margaret and
Marion Yancey, . who live there
next year, hard calloused hands
from too much chain work and the
umbrella which is used to com-
mute up and down the hall and
between rooms in rainy weather.

The Joanne Benton and Dale
Bennett portion have, after long
hours of conscientious and pre-
suasive conversation, finally agreed
that they will take with them to
the after-world all traces of print-
ers ink and type lice.

The Betty Turner, Sarah Smith,
Sophia Pedakis, Bet Patterson,
Virginia Owens, Margaret Mc-
Manus, Polly Grant, Mynelle
Grove, Louise Hoyt, Rosemary
Jones, Janet Lidell, Edith Mer-
rin, Jean Estes, Dorothy Dunstan,
Sweetie Calley, Louisa Aichel ele-
ment leaves its charm since it
won't need it anymore.

The Mac Craig leaves the fresh-
men to become sophomores.

The B. J. Radford leaves math
honors to Nan Honour.

The Lidie Lee and Anne Eidson
division leaves its child-like char-
acteristics so startlingly revealed
during the senior opera to the
1957 freshmen.

The I Isabel Asbury leaves its
Baptist effort to Nancy Dendy.
Vespers

The Peggy Pat Home and Mary
Frances Anderson segment leaves
its artistic endeavor to Butch
Hayes for her vesper signs, who
already has quite a beginning
along that line.

The Alice Newman part leaves
its skill with a doctor's needle and
ability to shoot, to Doc Dunn and
Ruth Richardson so that they will
not have to waste any time next
year in experimentation.

The Gene Goode and Evelyn
Hill division leaves this kingdom
for a horse.

The Virginia Barksdale. Glassell

Poet Versifies
Four Years
Of A. S. C. Life

By Mary Ann Craig

What now shall we say of the

years just past?
Years that have seen the broad-
ening of minds;
The fashioning of dreams; the

molding of lives.
Sunlight warming red brick walls,
Winds stirring in the tall pines,
And minds, unsure but unafraid,
Touch parts of truth, and seek to

grasp the whole.
Lamplight shimmering on rain

cleaned heaven,
While moonlight drenches the tow-
er walls.
Our dreams are woven through

nights like these.
Heads bowed in silent meditation,
Convictions forming as the days

fall away,
And lives become patterned after

thoughts and dreams.
What more can we say than the

years spent here
Have given us truths for our

minds to probe;
Have given us threads for our

dreaming hearts to weave;
Have fashioned the molds for our

lives to fill.

Beale, Frances Ford, Charlotte
Hevener element leaves its soft,
mellow Virginian tones to Gret-
chen Reinhartz, Patty Hampton
and Barbara Macht.

The Jean Williams, Cookie Mil-
ler element leaves their interest
in the algae to Binky Stubbs, and
Jane Rushin who are getting mar-
ried.

Waves Bid Farewell

And the Anna George Dobbins,
Anne Kelly, Marie Beeson division
leaves its interest in waves to
anybody else interested in waves.

The Ann Wheeler and Carolyn
Gilchrist part would like to give
its diversified characteristics to
Patty Persohn and Maxine Kick-
liter.

The Anne Burckhardt, Kate El-
lis, Punky Mattison, Anne John-
son, Marianne Jeffries, Jane Jacob,
June Thomason, Anne Hagerty,
Mary McCalla segment wishes to
leave its interest in sociology and
society to those who can best ap-
preciate the deeper significance of
each field of endeavor.

The Gloria McKee, Lillian Field,
and Alice Beardsley would like to
leave, unless there is a place for
the comic in the great beyond, its
peculiar brand of humour to those
who need it to get through.

The Carroll Taylor refuses to
leave anything yet but next year
it might leave the bookstore.

The Lorenna Ross leaves her
slow, even temper to Phyllis Nar-
more, and Nancy Dendy who have
red hair.

The Jean Rentz, Barbara Smith,
Joan Knock, Theresa Kemp, Ag-
nes Harnsberger division offers to
all underclassmen its young, fresh
outlook on life.

The Ruth Ellis and Ruth Glind-
meyer part leaves to Easy Beale
the invigorating pastime of con-
quering new worlds through the
Greek spirit.

The Valeria Brown leaves its
crutches down in Doctor Burns of-
fice for any other child who stum-
bles over a seat in a movie.

I, the 1947 body, give to the Jun-

Bet Records Memories
For Senior Souvenirs

By Bet Patterson

Omnis historia est divisa in tres partes that's Latin. Julius
Caesar said it, or something like it, and he meant that all
history is divided into into three parts: economic, political,
and social. If all history is divided into three parts, who are
we, a liberal arts college class, founded and grounded in the
traditions and the classics, to de-

part from all history as we part
with our history?

Therefore our history is divided
into three parts: economic, polit-
ical, and social. It also has fun-
damental or underlying causes and
immediate causes, as all history
has.

I. Economic Part

The following figures are dedi-
cated to the fathers among you,
those great spirits who alone are
capable of comprehending the
deeper 'economic implications :
freshman year, $800; sophomore
year, $835; junior year, $835; and
senior year, $900. We want our
fathers to know that in these
years of growth and trial we too
have learned about economic real-
ities and added a new word to our
everyday vocabulary, the word de-
ficit. All during our senior year,
if we were at times tempted to
send back one-third of our broc-
coli untasted, we needed only to
say, "Remember the deficit!" to
recall the grave need of eating all
our broccoli and taking only two
bottles of milk for every meal in-
stead of four.

We were ever business women.
Our freshman year we shined
shoes. Our sophomore year we
opened Pair-a-dice, the campus
night spot, and sold cokes and
sandwiches and juke-box music to
all comers. When we were jun-
iors, we made more money than
was ever made before or since on
the junior joint $486.78, to be
exact. Our senior year we were
completely intellectual and spirit-
ual and did not make any money.
But we remembered the deficit.
II. Political Part

We have no politics at Agnes
Scott. But somehow when we look
back over our college life, we
seem to remember the chant,
"Vote, vote, vote for McManus,"
which brought in the pennies and
quarters and dollars for our jun-
ior joint gentlemen, and we even
see a pair of red galluses adorning
our own Gene I mean Jane
Meadows. We remember Meadows
pulling us through the freshman
and sophomore years and coming
back as progressive head of a
progressive student government
this past year. We're proud that
the Georgia League of Women
Voters was reactivated in the col-
leges this year through her inter-
est in it. We reminisce about stu-
dent elections and nominating
committee uproars our freshman
year and about scratching (even
among ladies) and changes in the

ior class the sum of one dollar and
by so doing I make it known that
I have not forgotten them, but
that they beat me in the Student
government cup when I was ahead
at first. I also give to the Sopho-
more class the sum of two dollars.
They won the Athletic cup, but I'm
going to be more liberal with them
because they are my sister body.

I hereby appoint as my execu-
tor the trustees of Agnes Scott
College and I release the said
trustees, the executors of this will,
from giving surety, if my will is
not carried out as specified, I
will come back at regular inter-
vals and haunt in a body said ex-
ecutors.

I, the testator, the 1947 senior
body, do hereby swear that I have
neither given nor received aid
upon the drawing up of this doc-
umental paper. Signed: The 1947
Senior Body.

nominating setup. We have no pol-
itics at Agnes Scott, and this is
the end of the political part.
in. Social Part

' In histories everything that is
neither economic nor political goes
into the social part. Social is a.
very broad word which can include
social butterflys .and social pro-
blems and social standards. We
are social butterflys and there is
a course called social problems
and there is a committee called so-
cial standards. It was organized
in our junior year and is one of
the good social changes that faav*e
come during our history.

The first academic procession
we ever saw was followed down
the ais\e by a sociable doggy who
yelped. There were dogs all over
the campus our freshman year,
and we felt akin to them with our
dog's life "Mill on the Floss/*
"Pride and Prejudice", "Vanity
Fair," and research papers,
hours in lab and sore limns and
aching backs from freshman fun-
damentals and fall hockey prac-
tice ( w e N feel). It was
the first year of cafeteria meals,
and we absorbed gracious living
by reading our cultural books ail
the way down the lunch line. That
year we had seated dinners until
the spring quarter, with formai
meals once a month and yellow
goo rather often. Then there were
two years of straight cafeteria
dinners with all of us pouring cof-
fee down faculty backs and crumb-
ing tables and remembering: not
to coagulate around the serving
stations. We were the first in our
generation to have a junior ban-
quet, and we can never forget
the steaks, a square acre in area
for each one.

We were the first class ever ttr
leave the junior banquet for an
evening of bridge, ping pong, and
dancing in Murphey Candler. We
and here we gloat were tire
first class to have a senior party
with dates and dancing and an
orchestra in the gym..

Succulent steaks, mushrooms, ,
french fries, strawberry-and-mer-
ingue rings, iced tea and milk, to-
mato-bacon-cheese-lettuce sand-
wiches, junior-year sundaes with
sauce and nuts and cherries and
whipped cream these are joys to
remember when we are tempted to
think of the Green Death or Yel-
low Goo.

We were a cocky crew our fresh-
man year. We won almost every-
thing there was to win, beginning
with "Romeow and Juliecat" in
the Black Cat stunt. We had the
best skits and collected the most
money for the junior joint in both
freshman and sophomore years,
when we gave the doll show and
the "Good night, sweet dreams"
scenes. We spent our sophomore
year in character-building. Mea-
dows kept saying "Defeat builds
character." We liked our Alaggie
and her Wonderful Lamp, but
those cute freshmen worked the !
chemistry of success and sent us
into wailing, "Some gotta win,
some gotta lose," we lost.

Rajama parties, spend-the-
night parties for day students,
midday day student teas in Mur-
phey Candler, and real dress-up
teas given by juniors and others
to make us ladylike went into our
socializing. We were the only class
to have an annual all our own, the
frannual, with cartoons of us ai)
and verses to go with our person-
alities.

We were a wartime class half
the time, a peacetime class the

Mary Beth Little
Wins Editorship
On Mademoiselle

Climaxing Mademoiselle's na-

Agnes Scott's Mary Beth
Little was chosen one of twenty
girls to win an invitation to spend
the month of June in New York
as a college guest editor. As one
of the magazine's 1,250 competing
College Board members, Mary
Beth fulfilled, and excelled in, a
series of writing assignments.

While in New York, she will be
apprenticed to the editor of her
choice and will help edit the big
August College issue. This year,
besides learning what makes a
national magazine tick, she will
also participate in a Jobs and Fu-
tures conference, designed to help
her analyze her own potentialities
and plan her job campaign. Ap-
pointments will be made for Mary
Beth with young successful college
graduates already established in
promising careers, who can point
the way, and with executives in
business and the professions.

Besides executing daily office

Junior Class
Captures Cup

To the strains of their Alma
Mater the junior class hailed vic-
tory as the first class to carry oft
the Student government cup for
class spirit in chapel May 21.

Considering the annual work of
the class the judges, Miss Louise
Hale of the French department,
Mrs. Rebekah McDuffie Clarke of
the music department and S. G.
Stukes, registrar and professor of
psychology, based their decision
on statistics of class attendance
and participation in the various
activities and on reports submit-
ted by the four classes.

Consideration was given to class
rather than individual participa-
tion, to successful completion of
the projects undertaken and to the
widespread representation of the
class" in them.

Tension mounted to fever heat
as mistress of ceremonies, Miss
Hale, called up the classes to pull
ribbons from the mysterious, be-
ribboned box on the platform. A
purple ribbon, when drawn, signi-
fied that the class had won that
event.

Juniors seized four ribbons for
hockey attendance, swimming
pageant participation, song con-
test and club participation. Sophs
ran a close second with ribbons
for best basketball and swimming
meet attendance, participation in
Christmas carol choir.

Frosh placed first on horseshow
participation, and excellent chapel
attendance, also tying for second
place. Seniors pulled the horse
show attendance ribbon, and tie
for second place chapel attend-
ance.

Miss Hale's vivacious rendition
of the dialogue in poetry gave ad-
ded zest to the occasion.

Members of Student govern-
ment who were in charge of the
chapel program and wrote the
poetry were Lou McLaurin, Dolly
Cave and Easy Beale.

Wheel Title

"Alabama Angel" Mim Steele
captured the coveted title
"Chief Wheel Girl-of-the-Week,"
from the five other girls-of-the-
week after an analysis and ballot-
ing by the judges last Monday.

Competing were Nancy Deal,
first girl of the week, Mimi Ar-
nold, Sue Hutchens, Mary Mohr,
and Helen Edwards.

The group faced a board of
judges composed of Professors
Richard Joel, H. W. Martin, and
Donald May of Emory. Selection
was based on character, beauty,
and intelligence, the judges ex-
plained.

Judge Joel commented, "Each of
the six were very lovely and very
charming. No contestant won on
the first ballot."

Each contestant appeared before
the judges and gave a few facts
about herself her age, her home-
town, her academic interests and
other information.

Mim said, "They let us file in
one at a time and after giving
names, addresses, and majors they
just stood and looked at you up on
a little platform."

Mim, who had been chosen by
Deloney Hull April 21, revealed at
the time that she "disliked con-
ceited men, liked fried chicken and
violently disliked loud ties." Swim-
ming is her favortie sport and psy-
chology her favorite academic in-
terest.

Mim told how the Wheel staff
brought her a gift of a little elec-
tric clock to which will be attach-
ed a metal plate inscribed "To
Mim from the boys on the Wheel."
Burke Childs, editor, made the
presentation.

Parties Form Finale
To Senior Swan Song

Throwing aside books and wor-
ries, the seniors climaxed their
college social activities with three
parties over the week-end.

Friday they hoped hard enough
for the sun to beam through a
haze of clouds and spent the day
picnicking at Avondale.

With sun-burnt faces they at-
tended a Coca-Cola party Satur-
day morning at Walter Thomas'
"Magic Attic". Each senior re-
ceived a certificate for a teaspoon
in her own pattern at the party.

For Saturday luncheon they ate
with the alumnae in Rebekah and
attended a meeting of several ad-
ministration members after the
luncheon.

Continued from page 3

rest of the time. We smashed tin
cans and knitted for the Red Cross,
took first aid and played with the
Lawson boys. With 17-year olds
from Tech and Emory we skated
around the gym in those wonder-
ful days when its floor would hold
us. In the summer between sopho-
more and junior years we got our
class rings, and in the summer
between junior and senior years
we got our engagement rings. The
war was over, except in people's
lives, and we watched the fresh-
men go out every Saturday night.
Once in a while one of us met a
boy, and then everyone on our hall
went out the next Saturday night.
We asked the boy if he had any
friends.

One of us took a sleeping pill
instead of an aspirin the night be-
fore a big French test. Another one
got a jaywalking ticket her fresh-
man year and Dr. McCain had to
go to court and explain that she
was an Agnes Scott student. The
judge let her off. We had our
climbers of fire escapes, and we
even had our quota of those who
spent the night in the library. We
all swam in the pool at specified
hours with a life guard on duty.
There were so many senior-owned
cars that it was not very surpris-
ing to hear of a new crash or a
speeding ticket occasionally, but
no one was ever seriously hurt or
badly fined.

The social part of our history
includes the intellectual and cul-
tural. Some of us were part of a
mob in an opera, and others of us
even joined the Metropolitan
Opera Company for a night. A
few choice ones sang with Phil

Spitalny on the Hour of Charm.
The most cultural performance of
our class life was the senior opear,
"Mountain Airia." We were plumb
corn-tented with it.

We went to hundreds of lec-
tures and remember a few, notably
the sophrosyne of Miss Cobbs, the
imagination Miss Leyburn recom-
mended at the C. A. picnic for
freshmen, and the gems from lec-
tures by Dr. Theodore M. Greene
and Dr. Howard Lowry. Dr. Greene
helped us to understand the dif-
ferences between naturalism, hu-
manism, and theism and encourag-
ed a reflective commitment to
Christianity. Dr. Lowry suggest-
ed the need for spiritual creativity
and said the unexamined life was
not worth living. We who have
been through twelve sets of ex-
aminations sometimes wondered
whether the examined life was
worth living.

These are the economic, politi-
cal, and social parts of our history,
briefly and in full detail. There are
many blanks for each one to fill
in, using her own memory.

Fundamentally, we think we've
been a good class. In fact we like
us. Immediately, we are going to
be graduated, we hope. These are
the fundamental and immediate
causes, which every history must
have. Every history must also have
an end. This is it.

Of Society With Education

citizenry who know that either
wars must end or civilization will
end, and that the moral use of
wisdom in the support of peace is
the best hope for its security."

Dr. Harris said that the "sense
of helplessness which seems to t
have come with the peace" after*'
World War II, stems from several
conditions. He listed these as: 1.
The lack of understanding between
specialized segments of present-
day civilization; 2. lack of public
leaders who have "the fullest
knowledge or the highest ideals

jof the day"; 3. the imperiling of
peace, by "agitation for universal
military training," "the spirit of
vindictive hatred we risk engend-
ering in foreign nations by the
spirit of swagger which our mili-
tarists and braggarts urge us to
display" and "the selfish use of the
organized state to promote private
interests, even though such inter-
ests may be good and honorable";
4. the existence of major tensions
within our country, such as the
"truculent labor strikes and other
manifestations of personal and
public selfishness and greediness."
