542 Students Anticipated
As Registration Continues

Expected Total Tallies Exactly
With 1947-48 Enrollment

Lines blocked the hallways of Buttrick and Main this
week as approximately 542 students wove in and out register-
ing, making out schedules and getting room assignments ana
mail boxes.

Offices opened Monday at 9 a. m. and will continue to reg-
ister students through 4 p. m. to-

morrow. The school expects to
have 357 boarders and 185 day
students, Miss Laura Steele, as-
istant registrar, estimated this
week.

The expected total tallies exact-
ly with the actual registration fig-
ure of 1947-48, 542. Of this num-
ber 360 were boarders, three more
than are expected this year, while
an increase of three day students
this year makes the estimated 542
of 1948-49 registration.

A normal registration number,
542 tops the 534 of 1946, and
breaks even with the 542 of 1945.
Special students registering later
in the year may increase the num-
ber during the session. i

Class Of 1952

With the stars and a pre-har-

ditional formal reception will take
place Saturday at 8 p. m. on the

Alston Challenge
Keynotes Session

Quoting from Baron von Hugel, that in human experience
the quest for life's highest values is "continuously ^begin-
ning/' Dr. Wallace M. Alston, new vice-president, formerly
opened the 1948-49 fall session this morning with a challenge.

He exhorted each student to enter whole-heartedly into the
life of the college and benefit by

Delux Inman Dorm
Glistens For Frosh

This year's freshman are moving
into an entirely different Inman
hall. Seven contractors, under
the direction of J. C. Tart, bus-
iness manager and treasurer, have
worked all summer and completed
the remodeling of Agnes " Scot Fs
newest dormitory.

Inman now boasts hardwood
floors, tile baths, solitex ceilings,
and entirely new wiring and plumb-
ing. Most modern of all are the
rooms done in the six pastel col-
ors of blue, gray, peach, cream,
green, and yellow.

A sitting room for the faculty
sponsor has also been added.

Agnes Scott's tangible and intang-
ible resources.

At the first ^chapel service of
the year, Dr. Alston's talk on
"This New Beginning" followed
a brief welcome by Mrs. Bealy
Smith, president of the Alumnae
association, and George Winship,
chairman of the Board of Trustees.
Dr. Hugh Bradley, of Decatur
First Presbyterian church, led the
prayer and President James R.
McCain introduced the speakers.

Emphasizing the importance of
serious reflection on entering a
college year, Dr. Alston stressed
a two-fold outlook, an acceptance
of a role in contemporary society
and a realization of the possibili-
ties which the experience of a col-
lege year holds.

"There is no escape possible for
the Christian young person from
the demands that such critical
times exact from those who
are priviledged," he continued.
In speaking of the values of col-
lege, Dr. Alston placed the respon-
sibility of profiting from Agnes
Scott on the student. "The stu-
dent may .find here intellectual
maturity, strong convictions, a
full-orbed development of person-
ality, and preparation for a life
of exceptional usefulness," he said.

These advantages are gained, he
continued, only if "a readiness to
learn, a willingness to respond to
truth and a persistence in devel-
oping habits of study and in ac-
quiring skills" come first.

Classes Begin;
Loafing Ends

Beginning at 8:30 a. m. Friday
Agnes Scott students will again
attend classes under the volun-
tary absence system inaugurated
during the last session.

According to this system there
are no allotted number of "cuts".
Attendance is left to the discre-
tion of each student. The admin-
istration announced, however, that
as before, class attendance is re-
quired of freshmen during the first
and second quarters, of students
on the ineligible list and of stu-
dents on academic probation.

All students are expected to be
present at class meetings before
and after holidays and at announc-
ed tests, the administration added.
At all other times, quoting from
the Student government hand-
book, "the responsibility for at-
tendance rests with the student".

Construction of Infirmary
Initiates Building Program

By Anne O'Sullivan

Plans for the new Agnes Scott infirmary, given by Mrs.
George C. Walters, of Atlanta, are now complete, Dr. James
R. McCain announced last week. Although the actual com-
pletion date is tentative, Dr. McCain hopes that the major
part of the construction will be finished before the onset of
severe winter weather.

The two story collegiate gothic
structure will house 30 patients
normally, double the present ca-
pacity. In addition to the hospit-
al beds it will contain the offices
of the college physician, quarters
for two resident nurses, rooms for
treatment, laboratory work, x-ray,
basal metabolism tests, prepara-
tion of food and serving of meals.
Replaces Tennis Courts

The Frances Winship Walters
infirmary, named in honor of the
donor, will occupy the space now
held by the two tennis courts next
to the gym. It will be constructed
of red brick with Indiana lime-
stone trim and will be set off by
landscaping from its entrance to
the campus driveway it will face.

Mrs. Walters, a member of the
Board of Trustees of Agnes Scott,
had previously given $50,000 as a
foundation for the college, the in-
come of which is being used for
scholarship aid, including the
$5,000 George C. Walters Scholar-
ship Fund in honor of her hus-
band. After completion of the
new infirmary, the old building
will be used for housing students
until the new Hopkins Hall can be
built.

$1,000,000 Campaign Begins

The Agnes Scott campus now in-
cludes 42 buildings, but in the
next few years a new science hall,
Hopkins Hall dormitory, and a
new dining hall will be added.

The anonymous offer to the
school of $500,000 last January
has started a campaign this fall

to match it with $1,000,000. If the
total sum is raised, two thirds of
the money will go to an endow-
ment to be used largely for fac-
ulty salary increases and one
third to the building fund.

Authorized by a unanimous
vote in chapel Monday, three as-
sistant editors will take their
places on the News staff instead
of the usual two. Cathie Davis
and Joann Peterson were elected

the vacancy created by Floss
Hanson, who did not return this
year, and the other will serve as
the extra asssitant editor during
this year's trial period.

cial whirls this year.

Students Join
Concert Group

When the Atlanta Symphony
members took their places on the
stage of the Municipal auditorium
Saturday for the first concert of
the 1948-49 season, two Agnes
Scott students were among them.
Barbara Scheeler, senior, and
Mirium Runyon, freshman, are
musicians of the clarinet and
violin sections, respectively.

Both girls have been members
of the symphony since its begin-
ning four years ago. Claire Kem-

ber. The concert program includ-
ed "Rienzi" Overture by Wagner,
Symphony number 38 by Mozart,
"Nocturne for Strings" by Alan

"Schwanda" by Weinberger, and
"Petite Suite de Concert" by Col-
eridge-Taylor.

Under the baton of Henry Sop-
kin, the orchestra will appear Oct.

Zaugg To Depict
Soviet's Religion

Earnest L. Zaugg, foreign correspondent for the National
conference of Christians and Jews, Inc., will speak next Tues-
day at 12 noon in Room 104 of Butterick. This authority on
the current European religious situation will discuss Relig-
ious Freedom behind the Iron Curtain.

Mr. Zaugg's visit to the Agnes
Scott canmpus is sponsored joint-
ly by Christian association, In-
ternational relations club, and the
Bible and history departments.

Since the onslaught of World
War II Mr. Zaugg has traveled
extensively on both sides of the
Iron Curtain for the Religious
News Service. He has made a
special study of the conflict be-
tween Communism and religion.

Mr. Zaugg's answer to the ques-
tion "Is there religious freedom
behind the Iron Curtain?" will be
practical and not theoretical. His
opinions are based upon two and

Parks, Price
With Theme

By Dot Medlock

Nancy Parks, president of Stu-
dent government, and Mary Price,
president of Christian association,
got student organizations under
way last week with chapel talks
explaining the purposes of their
organizations.

"To learn to live honorably and
unselfishly in a community, and
to share in the responsibility of
the government is a part of the
broader education for which we
come to college," ran through
Nancy's welcome for the '48-'49
session. Briefly outlining the his-
tory of Student government, Nan-
cy told of the first grant of pow-
er to Student government in 1916,
and a larger grant of power in
1923.

Nancy emphasized that Student
government is made up of every-
one because everyone signs the
pledge. "Student government",
she continued, "speaks through
Executive committee, Lower
house, house meetings, and stu-
dent meetings, and the student is
urged to express herself through
the suggestion box in the mail-
room." Nancy pointed out that
the chief purpose of Student gov-

Set Pace
-Spun Talks

ernment is to serve as the "con-
necting link between students and
administration."

Mary Price introduced the
Christian association theme for
this year with a simple quotation,
"Love Christ, Live Christ." Em-
phasizing Christ in everyday life,
Mary dared everyone to accept
the responsibility of Christ in the
whole world and the heartache
that accompanies this responsi-
bility.

In order to remind us to keep
Christ before us every day, not
just on Sunday, Mary said that
"we are not to live like Jesus, we
are to live Jesus." She brought
out that by enlarging, we are not
overflowing, but "expanding, up-
ward to God, as well as to our
fellow man."

Mary closed her talk with the
words from which the Christian
association therne Is taken, "I am
the Door, knock and It shall be
open; I am the Way, seek and ye
shall find; I am the Trust, ye
shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free; I am
the Bread, take, eat; I am Love,
love Me; I am Life, Live Me."

a half years of visiting small re-
ligious communities throughout
Europe. He speaks from his ex-
periences of contact and worship
with various Catholic, Protestant,
and Jewish groups.

An analysis of churches in Italy
and of religion in Communist-
lominated countries and a discus-
sion of the effect of Balkan po-
litical intrigue in the world-wide
struggle between Communism and
religion will y be Mr. Zaugg's chief
emphases.

Ph. D. Granted
To Barineau

Miss Elizabeth Barineau, in-
structor in Spanish, spent the
summer at the University of Chi-
cago where she completed her
work for her Ph.D. degree.

The degree was granted to Miss
Barineau with honor in Romance
languages, with emphasis on
French. The topic of her thesis
was "Critical Addition of 'Les
Orientales' by Victor Hugo."

Freshman Nominate
Chairman As Plans
Begin For Cat Stunt

Plans for the annual Black Cat
Stunt Night began to take form
today in chapel with the nomina-
tion of freshman stunt chairman.
The final election will be held
Friday in chapel along with the
nomination of freshman cheer
leaders.

On the same day as the elec-
tion, Miss Carrie Scandrett, dean
of students, will meet with the
sophomore and freshman stunt
chairmen at her home to discuss
plans for Black Cat night.

It is customary for the fresh-
man stunt chairman to lead her
class until a president is elected.

Days of Daze-Diagnoses Give
Keys to Mihdy s Maladies

By Peggy Penuel

Many people on this campus go about their work in a daze
of one'kind or another. Although they usually are content
to say that they are in one without specifying what kind,
there are many symptoms which may lead to a more accurate
diagnosis of the malady

While some people agree that
dazes don't tell too much about a
person's character, others feel they
may reveal quite a bit. For in-
stance, there is that common daze
known as "fraternity pin flutter."
The person affected walks around

Like the leaves of the forest
when summer has flown,

When the winds of the spring
and the summer have blown."

Another daze is the one in which
the victim shows by many signs
that she has just quarreled with

surrounded by rather dense pink the man in her life and there is

clouds. In other times, a girl
would say to the gentleman who
was courting her, "If you want to
marry me, just give me a ring."
Not so now these are the days of
the pin-up girl.

Then, there is the "exam jam,"
an ailment which makes its ap-
pearance shortly before the end of
each quarter. The person who has
it goes around muttering stray
bits of information under her
breath and peering cautiously in-
to textbooks so as not to disturb
the protective layer of dust which
has gathered on them. If greeted
on the street, she is likely to an-
swer, "H20", and if introduced to
someone, she may say, "Oh yes,
one of the minor prophets."

This state is particularly dan-
gerous because it produces such
startling things as the fact that
Wordsworth was a philosopher of
300 B. C. and that Plato was the
real author of "Paradise Lost."

If the victim is majoring in Eng-
lish, her confusion may include
the following bit of deathless po-
etry:

"You are old, Father William,"
the young man said,

"And visions of sugar-plums
dance through your head,

Ensemble Plans

The Agnes Scott string ensem-

conductor.

Both new and old students play-

Those interested are asked to

Casey Haff's Delt pin, and Butch
Hays' ATO pin.

Any squeals sounding forth
from the dean's office are easily
explained by a look at a most
beautiful jewled Theta Chi pin
which B-Bow acquired this sum-
mer. Martha Ray Lasseter, too,
has given turned up with a spar-
kle on her third-finger-left-hand.

Enough about these lucky girls.

jointly by Student government,

letic association with Todd Mc-
Cain in charge.

Salt Lake Tester

Strawberry Blonde Brings
Vigor, Vitality To AS Gym

Somebody new has been added at the gymnasium and in
Rebekah Scott dorm.

Meet Miss Helena Williams, owner of the wavy, straw-
berry blonde hair, dancing eyes, and infectious laugh, who
left her home in Raleigh, N. C, to join our campus this year.
She's the new instructor in swim-

ming and tennis her favorite
sports and an advocate for a
course in 50ft ball for the spring
quarter.

But that's not all! She's the
house mother of Rebekah, and
like a "fond mother" says the oc-
cupants in her house are a "grand
group of girls."

Tours California, Mexico

With the vim, vigor and vital-
ity of a true sportswoman, Miss
Williams spent five weeks this
summer driving 12000 miles on
a sight-seeing tour of California
and Mexico with two friends. On
the way they visited the Grand
Canyon, Petrified forest, and Yel-
lowstone National park. In Salt
Lake City Miss Williams tested
the salt lakes to see if they real-
ly supported a person as strongly
as they claim they do! In Los
Angeles she and her companions
heard Kathryn Grayson sing at
the Hollywood Bowl, and saw
Lionel Earrymore.

Speaks Spanish

Miss Williams' two years of
Spanish came in handy in Mexico
City, but even Spanish words
could not describe the beauty of
the mountains, and the colorful
figures of the Mexican peasants.

But the wide open spaces are
left behind, and Miss Williams is
settling down with the rest of us
for a year within the college con-
fines.

F. Morris Assumes
Junior Presidency

At a special class meeting Mon-
day, members of the junior class
unanimously elected Frances Mor-
ris to the office of class president.
She will fill the vacancy created
when Gretchen Reinartz, former-
ly elected president, did not re-
turn to Agnes Scott this fall.

Frances has previously served
as president of Freshman Cabi-
net, sophomore representative to
Lower House, and vice-president
of the junior class. This fall she
returned to school early and took
over the numerous duties of the
junior class leader as acting presi-
dent.

Four Faculty
Finish Study
Under Grants

Miss Emma May Laney, asso-
ciate professor of English; Miss
Florence E. Smith, associate pro-
fessor of history and political
science; Miss Ellen Douglass Ley-
burn, associate professor of Eng-
lish; and Miss Melissa Annis Cil-
ley, associate professor of Spanish
received grants-in-aid from the
Carnegie corporation for research
this past summer.

Miss Laney, who studied sym-
bolism and poetry of William
Butler Yeats at Columbia univer-
stiy, reports that she thoroughly
enjoyed her work in New York.
Her eight weeks there were "just
not long enough."

Miss Smith spent seven weeks
in New York studying Piedtro
Torrigiana of the Renaissance
period. Most of her research was
done in the General Fine Arts,
the Averitt Architectural, and the
Metropolitan Art Frick Museum
libraries at Columbia.

Miss Leyburn was awarded a
University Center grant to do a
study of diction on Wordsworth's
"Prelude". Her article on this sub-
ject will appear in The Journal
of English Literature History.
Miss Leyburn worked at Kenyon
College among a gathering of the
literary critics, Eric Bently,
Cleanth Brooks, Richard Chase,
F. O. Matthiessen, William Epson,
John Crowe Ransom, Austin War-
ren and Allen Smith.

Miss Cilley's research at the
University of California was on
Portuguese literature. She studied
particularly the ideals of Portugal
at the peak of its achievement
and the development of these
ideals in the New World as man-
ifest in literature. Her work cen-
tered on an epic poem, "Louiz de
Camoes", published in 1571.

Treasure Hun1
Night of Oct. 9

If you see a lantern propelled
by a blue-jeaned figure on campus
the night of Oct. 9, it won't be
Demosthenes looking for an hon-
est man, but one of the partici-
pants of the Scavenger Hunt to be
given by Athletic association.

Beginning at 8 p. m. Athletic
board members will divide their
guests into groups and send them
off with a list of easy to find, and
not-so-easy-to-find treasures.

After the hunters have return-
ed from the quest and the prize
awarded, a cozy fire-for-roasting-
marshmellows will be built in
Murphy Candler to soothe aching
tootsies.

But marshmellows won't be the
only edibles. Julianne Cook is
"cooking" up refreshments with
the help of Harriet Lurton and
Barbara Lawson.

Jane Sharkey is chairman of
the treasure list committee, as
sisted by Mary Louise Warlick
and Julie Cuthbertson.

Jo Heinz is publicity director
and Wilton Rice will select the
prize.

Keeper of the marshmellow
flame will be Charity Bennett.

Name tags will be provided by
Gretta Moll.

Lost And Found

If a prized possession has been
lost, strayed or just plain disap-
peared, agents Mary Louise War-
lick, Jo Heinz and Barbara Law-
son will probably have it in cus-
tody at lost and found headquar-
ters in Murphy Candler.

Visiting hours will be from 4 p.
m. to 5 p. m. Mondays, 11 a. m.
to 12 p. m. Thursdays and 2 p. m.
to 3 p. m. Fridays.

Play By Play

By Margaret Brewer

Guess who?! It's me again one "mangled Sports Ed-
itor" that Lorton couldn't sell, give or throw away (although
she tried all three, believe me!). A few subtle insults were
even tossed my way, such as "Maybe more people would
read your column if we put it on the right hand side of the
Sport's page." Or, "Don't bother writing
your column for the first edition of the paper
in the Fall 'cause we have plenty of interest-
ing copy this time."

But after a summer before typewriters that
spat, coughed up rubber bands, and needed an
undertaker instead of an Underwood repair
man, even the monstrosities in the News
room, typewriters that is, looked good, so
what the Ed said was ignored. 'Course, I
do miss the cowboy that used to lasso the
fire plug in front of the building next to my
office, but there's simply nothing like the Agnes Scott News
simply nothing! (Paid political advertisement.)

But by now some of the rust has been scraped off the
Sport's pen, so let's get down to business.

First, the Sports department wants to welcome the fresh-
men with the warning that any resemblance now or in the
future between this column and a conventional sport's col-
umn is purely intentional and highly improbable.

But for now, welcome, freshmen to the physical educa-
tion department of Agnes Scott. Welcome to the receiving
end of a hockey stick, to a nice swim on a sub-zero day, or
to that helpless feeling when your tennis ball rolls into the
sewer, or gets sliced by the South Decatur trolley.

Seriously, though, if you want that glow of health and
spirit of comradeship, take an active interest and plenty of
enthusiasm with you when you go to your physical education
classes. You'll find your schedule not so tough, or you're
not as homesick or friendless as you thought. There's a sport
for you and a place for you in sports FIND IT!

Oh, by the way, this column is on the right hand side of the
Sport's page now.

Far From

The Madding Crowd

Old Students, this registration, found a lack of the usual
confusion in Main and Buttrick. Lines at the registrar's,
electives', and schedules' moved so quickly and efficiently
this year that by Wednesday and Thursday the halls of
Buttrick were deserted.

Credit for this emancipation from the big crush ordinarily
confronting us at the beginning of each new year goes to the
Executive committee of Student government, led by Vice-
president and Chairman of Registration, Hunt Morris.

Thankfully we leave the mob scenes to Cecil B. Demille.

Serum No. 52

New sets of crisp, clean curtains are going up in Inman, a new
set of faces, and the latest edition of the new look deck the
campus. A fresh set of ideas backed up with boundless en-
thusiasm are giving the campus its annual shot in the arm
in short, a brand new set of freshmen have come to Agnes
Scott.

Difficult as it is to improve on the "howdy frosh" already
shouted by the re-glamourized Inman dorm, C. A., A. A.,
Student government, the administration, and all the dozens of
others who are so glad to see you here, we add our welcome
with an editorial hat-tip.

Inmanaches

Jabber Wacky

By Lee Cousar

A host of new faces, lobby sings, curtain troubles and
twelve forty-niners begin to re-live their freshman year with
the class of '52. Whether these seniors receive all respect
due their high and lofty state is still a debatable questio.
There are, of course, some of the more formidable ones who
never receive just plain "yes's"

or "uh-huh's" but are always po-
litely answered with a "yes
ma'am" at which the grey hairs
spring out on their startled
heads! But then there is al-
ways Splinter Board to spoil the
record of respect, since she is us-
ually supposed to be visiting her
older sister who is a member of
the freshman class.

Meek Squeak
'Twas Friday night and a few
seniors had assignments for Sat-
urday so quiet hours prevailed
throughout Inman. However, af-
ter a few hours of repression, the
imprisoned spirits could stand it
no longer and Inman Lobby be-
gan to liven up. As the noise in-
creased, a stern senior appeared
from behind the curtains with an
ominous "shhhh ". Around whirl-
ed one of the merry-makers ex-
claiming; "Don't you tell me to
be qu are you a senior? (the
latter part in a humble little
voice). So we do get respect some-
times!

Hopes Up

The freshmen particularly en-
joy telling one or two on their
fellow classmates. It seems that
there were two new students seen
standing in the basement of Butt-
rick gazing longingly at the ele-
vator after a day of standing in
numerous lines. Finally, one turn-
ed to the other and explained
hopefully: "They say this eleva-
tor is for faculty members, but I
think the one upstairs is for stu-
dents."

Such happenings, however, are
not limited to freshmen! Three
of our senior Inmanites, noting
that one of the new students
seemed homesick, held a long con-
fab to decide what they could do
to help. One senior was chosen
to go talk with the unhappy
freshman to see what was the
trouble. The joke was on the
Good-Deed Dotties when the gig-
gling senior came back to report
that their protege was a resident
of Decatur!

Over the Top

Elizabeth, Korean Transfer,
Furnishes Oriental Touches

By Margaret Brewer

From the land of willow trees and shimmering rice fields
comes Miss Elizabeth Yungman Chung, third daughter of
Mr. Bong Yoon Chung and Mrs. Wha Young Auh of Seoul,
Korea.

Miss Chung flew over the top of the world to our campus
to be a special student of educa-

tion, psychology, and, of course
English. She is also interested in
learning about our democratic way
of living so that she may return to
Korea and help stamp out the
feudalistic society still in exist-
ence there.

Competent Translator
Elizabeth graduated with a B. A.
degree from Ewha college in 1941.
Since then she has become one of
only two women members of the
Educational and Cultural Associ-
ation of Korea. There is a total
of fifty members in this associa-
tion. She has also translated two
American primary school science
books into Korean. One has al-
ready been published, and the oth-
er is in the hand of the publish-
ers now. In her translations 1
the Korean characters read from
left to right in a horizontal po-
sition instead of the conventional
Korean vertical form from right
to left. This, together with the
English method of punctuation is
being adopted by the modern ed-
ucators of Korea.

Interesting Names
Elizabeth has four sisters and
one brother.

Soon Dong Chung is the oldest
child, and her name translated
into English means "gentle child".
Elizabeth's Korean name, Yung-
man, means "prosperity forever".
A younger sister is named Geum
Dong or "golden child", and anoth-
er, Young Lai, meaning "coming
prosperity". There's no English
translation for one sister's name,

Soon Sung, and her brother Kyung
Yong.

After a shopping spree in At-
lanta all Elizabeth could say was
"Seoul (pronounced like soul) is
not so big". But Atlanta is not
so big that Miss Chung will not be
able to find a friend from her
own country. Miss Martha Kim

Elizabeth Yungman Chung

is another Korean student. Don't
be surprised if some day you hear
a completely unknown language
being tossed around on the quad-
rangle. It'll just be Elizabeth and
Martha talking over "the good old
times in Korea". After all, they
must have (whatever the Korean
words are for "hen sessions") in
Korea!

C. A. Halo

By Evelyn Foster

In response to popular request,
as brought forth in the C. A.
questionnaire last spring, vespers
Sunday will begin a series of in-
spirational programs to be drawn
from several religious faiths, in-
cluding Hindu. Jewish, Chinese,
Catholic, and possibly Moham-
medan.

Paul Garber, professor of Bible,
will introduce the series and pre-
sent a Hindu service.

With a program based upon the
theme, "What is in your hand?"
Nancy Dendy opened vespers Sun-
day night with a truly inspiration-
al service.

She told in her talk of people
who, through faith, had used what
they possessed, however small, to
render great services. She cited,
for example, Moses had only his
rod; Gabriel, his trumpet, George
Washington Carver, the peanut.

As for ourselves, she continued,
fortunetellers say that we have
in our hands a head-line, a heart-
line, and a life line; a mind
with which to think, to learn; a
heart with which to love, and a
life to live in service of God.

Frosh, Sophs to Attend
Gym Party Sat. Night

Orientation committee will
sponsor a party in the gym this
Saturday night for the freshman
and sophomore classes.

Ann Gebhardt, chairman, an-
nounced that the pool will be
open for the aquatic minded. Vol-
ley ball, badminton, and shuffle
board will also be offered.

Campus Slips

To junior sponsors and fresh-
men Barbara Browning has been
"Honey" since orientation days
began. So it was only natural that
her sponsor couldn't remember
her real name for introductions at
the faculty reception. Barbara,
however, mastered the situation.
While a stammering junior stood
by, she introduced herself to Dr.
McCain: "My name's Barbara
Browning, but you can call me
'Honey'."

With a last minute glance to
make sure that every lock and
fold was in place before going
down the receiving line, Kitty
Currie noted with horror that
she was still wearing her saddles
and socks. Fortunately there was
the Inman blackout to share the
blame, and most of those who
dressed in dark rooms agree that
Kitty did well to show up dress
right side out.

Everybody at the dining table
was too engrossed in the parade
of sleekly-dressed campus new-
comers to make conversation
everybody, that is, but Jessie Car-
penter, who took time out from
eyeing, finished her second des-
sert, and prize-remarked, "Oh, I'll
be so glad when all these cute
freshmen get fat!"

Liz Ragland also must have
been extremely freshman-con-
scious from her dining vantage
point. At any rate, upon seeing
the dark-haired Boydite standing
in our cafeteria line, she gasped
to Loulie, "Goodness! Doesn't that
freshman look like Beryl Crews?"

Black Cat Stunt Chairmen

Brown, Linton, Hertwig, Morgan Lead
Cheers, Songs For October 16 Clash

Plans for Black Cat night, October 16, swung under way
this week with the election of freshman and sophomore
stunt chairmen and cheerleaders. Cissie Spiro was chosen
to head the sophomore group, while Bobbie Jones was elected
to direct the freshman class.

Barbara Brown and Betty Jo
Linton will lead freshman cheers,
while Louise Hertwig and Juli-
anne Morgan yell as soph cheer-
leaders.

Cissie Spiro, new sophomore
leader, is making her second ap-
pearance as Black Cat chairman
for her class.

Bobbie Jones, who hails from
Ocala High in Florida, packs a
combination of musical and dram-
atic experience from her high
school days.

Friday night new and former
stunt chairmen gathered at Dean
Carrie Scandrett's home, to launch
plans for the coming competition.

In Orientation assembly Mon-
day, Doris Sullivan, president of
Mortar Board, spoke briefly to
freshmen of the history of the
Black Cat and of the vital part
it plays in our college life, "even
in failure, as well as success," of
the stunts.

She cited the purposes of Black
Cat stunt as the preventing of
hazing of freshmen by sophomores
and the offering of opportunity
for freshmen to become acquaint-
ed with members of the sopho-
more class and of their own class.

Black Cat stunt is the tradi-
tional contest of wits between the
freshman and sophomore classes
with a reward of a class bell
around the kitty's neck and cam-
pus commendation for the winner.

Deans Explain
New System' s
Responsibility

The first house meeting of the
year became a night of rejoicing
as ^Student government turned
m6re responsibility over to stu-
dents in new privileges' for sopho-
more, junior, and senior boarders.

After an explanation by Miss
Bella Wilson of the responsibili-
ties entailed, the sophomores vot-
ed to accept 12 midnight lights
instead of the former light cut
10:45 p. m. with eight one-hour
light cuts a month, the new privi-
lege is given on condition that ab-
solute quiet reigns after 10:45 p.
m. Each individual is responsible
for*, turning out her lights at 12,
even though no bell will ring.

Juniors and seniors received
the dating privilege of leaving an
unapproved slip. Miss Carrie Scan-
drett explained to them in a joint
meeting in Maclean that juniors
and seniors may sign out in the
Dean's office without the appro-
val of the acting dean on duty.
The great advantage is that at
hours when the Dean's office is
not open, upperclassmen may
drop unapproved sign-out slips in
the office, except for over-night
visits, out-of town trips and en-
gagements involving late permis-
sion.

New Council To Consider
Individual Dorm Problems

Student government followed up
it's grant of new privileges last
week with the announcement at
Main house meeting last night of
the formation of House Council
for Rebekah, Inman and Main
dormitories.

"House Council has been creat-
ed as an experiment in an at-
tempt to deal with dormitory pro-
blems in a local, personal way,"
Nancy Parks, president of Stu-
dent government explained. The
council, composed of house presi-
dent, Lower house representative

and one girl from each wing who
will be appointed by the house
president and Lower house repre-
sentative once a quarter, will
meet twice a month.

Senior residents will serve in
an. advisory capacity when the
council 'meets to discuss problems
of noise, telephone co-op. and gen-
eral thoughtlessness in the dorm,
and to take steps for a remedy.

House Council will become ef-
fective when Lower house repre-
sentatives are elected this fall.

Saturday's chapel gave the
freshmen their first glimpse cl
Agnes Scott's academic proces-
sion, which preceeded Dr. J. R.
McCain's announcement of Hon-

year include Mary Jo Ammons
in chemistry, Julia Blake in psy-
chology, Katherine Geffcken in

Art Teacher Spends Summer
Peddling Throughout Europe

By Frankie Howerton

Off to Europe! That's where Miss Priscilla Lobeck of the
Art department has been all summer. She boarded the
Marine Tiger on June 3 after battling with the French and
Belgium Embassies and spilling a sleeping bag in the midst
of a New York sidew T alk.

The boat was open class and
filled with interesting people. In
Miss Lobeck's group there were
two engineers, a pharmacist, a
chemist, a physical therapist, a
dilettante with artistic inclina-
tions, one of unknown occupation,
and the leader. On board they
spent their time' studying French,
world problems, learning folk
dances, and doing calisthenics
to keep fit for the long trip ahead.

Sketches of Miss Lobeck's
trip will be on display In the Art
Gallery on the third floor of
Buttrick.

After a glimpse of the placid
England from Plymouth Harbor,
a light house on the rocks, pas-
tures leading down to the water,
a church spire on the hill, they
were soon landing in La Marre.
They were off, first to Amien.

Miss Lobeck commented that
all of France seemed discouraged,
poor, but very proud. Much of the
rubble had not yet been cleared
away. Only the cathedrals were
being rebuilt and this job was
very slow. Amien she describes
as quaint with its tarns, street
cafes, and loaves of bread two
feet long.

They saw here the Rouen
Cathedral which they had begun
to rebuild. Others she saw were
Charteses, Orleans and Notre
Dame, of which she says "Une
petite candle burning all alone
pour les pauvre outside a tiny
sparrow was sitting on the two
upraised fingers of one of the
saints. Those simple touches add-
ed contrast to the immensity of
it all."

From Amien they went by way
of Ghent to Bruges, a small old
Belgian town. Here the farmers

dom see foreigners, for they even
stopped a ball game to look at the
Americans.

Brussels was a large modern
town as were other cities in Hol-
land and Belgium. Rotterdam, the
city which was bombed flat as a
sample of Hitler's art was being
rebuilt into a very modern city.
All of Holland and Belgium seem-
ed to be alive with the activity
of rebuilding. They seemed more
optimistic than the French peo-
ple.

Next came Luxembourg, Stras-
bourg, and then Switzerland.
Brienz, a little Swiss village re-
minded her of Heidi's village,
Morvux on the famous Lake In-
terlocked it was "ritzy with side
walk cafes filled with first class
travelers sipping wine and ad-
justing monocles".

After the Chateau of Chillon,
Byron's i n s pi r a t i on, catching
trains, and the complicated high
finance of money exchanging,
came Paris in all the glory of Bas-
tille Day with dances and fire-
works of a million colors.

There were the Paris book
stalls, the Eiffel Tower, the Seine,
the Sorbonne, the Societe Des-
Artistes Modern with Rouault,
Marisse, Picasso, the Follies Ber-
geres with Chinese characters,
fantastic costumes and sets, and
lovely dancing, but above all the
French food again. From Paris
to Pithiviers, Orleans,- Chartres,
and back to Paris for a few more
hours at the Louvre.

English Royalty

Then came the last lap, Eng-
land. It was "nice hearing English
again and drinking milk" From
Dover, Miss Lobeck went to Lon-
don, where, she comments, "Rid-
ing down the thoroughfares, the
double deckers hovered over us
like monsters breathing down our
backs." There also they saw
Buckingham Palace, Margaret
Rose, Elizabeth and the King, the
first day of the Olympics.

Then on to Oxford, Stratford,
and to the fields again to sleep
where there were cows that
"must have thought we were
salt-lick", then several other
uaint English villages and the
sea and home again, weary and
wanting a hot bath.

Grotesque Apparel,
Mirthful Mermaids
Share Sport's-Light

A representative from Mount
Olympus has predicted that on
Oct. 15 around 4 p. m. grotesque
figures dressed in what appears
to be a cross between a football
outfit and a suit of armor will
invade a portion of our campus
just behind the library. For wea-
pons they will carry wicked-look-
ing sticks curved at the end, and
a look in their eyes that will put
Li'l Abner's "double whammy" to
shame.

First Hockey Game

But there's no cause for alarm.
It's only the first hockey game
of the season getting underway.

Wilton Rice, hockey manager,
has arranged to have hot dogs
sold during the game to insure
more lusty cheering, and stunts to
be performed between quarters.
New Managers

New managers hovering on the
scene will be Cornelia Dickerson
for the freshman; Jimmie Ann
McGee, sophomore; Terrell War-
burton, junior; and Bobbie Cath-
cart for the seniors.

But hockey will have to share
the limelight with another popu-
lar sport swimming. Managers
for the mermaids are freshman,
Catherine Reddles; sophomore,
Charlotte Key; junior, Beryl
Crews; and senior, June Davis.
The first aquatic event is sche-
duled for Nov. 10.

All who are interested in swim-
ming are urged to contact their
class managers or swimming man-
ager, Betty Van Houten, immed-
iately.

Class Spirit Cup

Attendance at the hockey games
and swimming meets counts tow-
ard winning the class spirit cup.

Other attractive sports are the
archery classes with their "mer-
rie greenwood" atmosphere, and

For New Vice-President

At a class meeting Monday,
the junior class elected Margie
Major vice-president for the rest
of the year. She will fill the
place vacated by Frankie Morris
w hen she became president of
the junior class.

Last year Margie led the
sophomore class as president.
She comes from Hendersonville
and the mountains of North
Carolina.

Clarke Forms
Class Choirs

Big activities are in the offing
for the musically minded students
of Agnes Scott this year.

According to Mrs. Rebekah
Clarke, director of the glee club,
a sophomore and a freshman choir
are forming in addition to the reg-
ular glee club.

The three choirs will participate
in three chapel programs each
week. The glee club will .provide
music for the Tuesday program
sponsored by Christian associa-
tion, and the sophomore and
freshman choirs will sing for the
Wednesday and Saturday chapels
respectively. All three groups will
join together to form the Christ-
mas Carol Choii which will give
its annual Sunday afternoon' con-
cert, Dec. 12.

All students are eligible to try-
out for these groups.

Aside' from frequent engage-
ments in Atlanta churches ,and
civic groups, the glee club com-
bines with the Georgia Tech glee
club to present a light opera. This
year plans are being made also
for the presentation of Handel's
"Messiah", to be scheduled some
time in February. In the spring
quarter the glee club will give its
usual spring concert.

With emphasis on re-creation,
not reck reation, Agnes Scott's
faculty families were invited to
open their own sport season in the
gymnasium Monday night.

Eight eager youngsters splashed
in the pool from 7:30-8 p. m. to
show off anything each had tried
out successfully at camp this sum-
mer. Several new comers prom-
ised to be regular customers.

While a few intrepid faculty
members tried to improve swim-
ming style from 8-8:30 p. m., oth-
ers ambitiously ran up impressive
scores in badminton on the newly
shellacked gym floor.

Improve Form Aim
Of Swimming Club

If you want to look like the
Mermaid of "Mr. Peabody and the
Mermaid" fame, or would like a
carbon copy minus twenty years
of "Mr. Peabody", you'll investi-
gate the new plans Swimming
club has just formulated.

The purpose of the club is to
improve swimming technique in
both form and speed, according to
whether you want to be a swan
or jet-propulsion.

Swimming meets will consist
of inter-class competition in ex-
hibitions of form, racing, relays,
comical relays and diving.

A committee composed of club
members will be organized soon
to plan and work on the annual
spring ballet.

There will be an hourly meet-
ing once a week for club mem-
bers, and one of the membership
requirements is that each mem-
ber must attend at least three
meetings every month. It is pos-
sible that an active part in swim-
ming meets will be required also.

Loot "Scoop" Droops

Play By Play

By Margaret Brewer

I can still visualize the headline "Embezzlement of Ath-
letic Association's Funds Accidentally Disclosed at Meeting."
Why; it might even have made front page instead of the
sports page! The drawback is that the story which would
have followed the headline never "broke" as we say in
journalese. Rather you'd have to say it "broke down" after
Barby Lawson found the missing $30 somewhere between
the $12 and $92 in her record of expenditures. But for a
few minutes there I rubbed my hands in glee and joyful
anticipation of what every reporteress dreams of.. ..a "nice
scandal!" (To Ethics and English teachers I'm only kidding.)
But it must be added, as testimony of the great confidence
A. A. has in its treasuress, that uproarious laughter was all
that followed the discovery of the discrepancy.

But before I go any farther and am sent notice of an im-
pending libel suit filed by one plaintiff Barbara Lawson, let
me emphasize that every penny was accounted for before the
meeting closed. And when two girls tried to sneak out
I knew they weren't attempting to escape, but were
going for refreshments (you learn to look for such "evi-
dence"), so the treasury must be sound.

If any further proof of financial stability is required, just
peek through A. A.'s keyhole at the preparations for the
Scavenger Hunt for the freshmen this Saturday night. And
if you still aren't convinced we'll get the witnesses to testi-
fy that "Mokoko the Pirate" never found such "treasure" as
they!

Switch Hitch

Jabber Wacky

By Lee Cousar

A lovely, moonlit Saturday night, and I hastily give one
last pat to my hair, glance at the clock, and scoot out of my
room. Arriving at Main in three seconds flat, I find the
halls overflowing with gals, strictly out of Vogue, and men
representing Tech and Emory's fraternity rows. And with*
another glance at the clock, I

rush toward the switchboard
room.

My predecessor, who has been
standing with one foot outside
the switchboard room doorway,
streaks past me just as I come
into view. The sympathetic look
she casts my way is anything but
optimistic.

Seated at the board, I bring
out my knitting for want of any
other occupation and prepare
for a nice, quiet evening with my-
self. A short period of absolute
silence ensues before the familiar
buzz of an outside call sounds.
Connection, Please

"May I speak to The Dormi-
tory?" asks a timid voice, muster-
ing all his masculine courage. Af-
ter considerable discussion and
description, The Dormitory is de-
termined, and he is connected.
Then follows a period of persis-
tent ringing. Minutes pass, and
finally the poor male gives up in
despair. A moment later an in-
dignant call comes from The
Dormitory, demanding the rea-
son for that continual ringing
when there "wasn't a soul on the
line."

A half hour o' peace follows
this exciting episode, broken only
by calls to Dearborn 1665 from

each of the eighteen girls remain-
ing in the dormitories.

Nine-thirty comes, and Thread-
gill's stops delivering, so the
board becomes even more peace-
ful and I make great progress
on my sweater!

Whodunit

Then comes the blow! An eerie
green light flashes on the board,
known to operators as the P. S.
or "pure stupidity" light! Fran-
tically, I test lines to determine
which of the fifty-four campus
telephones was left off the hook.
After five minutes, during which
the culprit phone is not located, a
deafening buzz commences and is
only silenced when the missing
receiver is placed at last on its
hook.

The knitting progresses until
10:40, when a long distance call
comes through. Aha, I cheerily
tell myself, at least this one will
certainly be through in three min-
utes. But, alas, I make the start-
ling discovery that all people are
not of Scotch descent. Fifteen
minutes later the conversation is
completed. Gleefully I close the
board, go back to my deserted
dormitory, seat myself on my bed,
bring out my knitting and pre-
pare for a nice quiet evening with
myself.

Korean Candor

Martha Kim Describes U. S. A
As Friendly Land of Smiles

By Margaret Brewer

In Sook Kim (Peaceful Lady) better known as Martha
Kim leaned back on the blue chenilled bed and tossed her
long black hair back from her face.

"What do I think of America?" she repeated my question.
"I think it's the land of smiles. Everybody in this country,
and especially on this campus al-

Her third purpose is to keep

because she believes people who
do remain forever young.

Americanization

And there's evidence that her
last purpose is well on its way
to realization. She has studied
American history, our people and
our customs so it is not as hard
for her to adjust herself to the
American way of life as it might
have been. In her room a souvenir

and the god of earth stand guard

English textbooks and plastic
lamp shades.

when they don't know me. And
then I think that this country
will always be strong and pros-
perous because its people can
smile. In Korea we can't always
smile there are so many pro-
blems. It's such a nice comforta-
ble feeling here!"

But what Martha was modestly
unaware of was tViat she's the
one who provokes such pleasant
glances. Her expressive face and
dynamic personality reflect the
high ambitions and good will that
finally led her to our campus.
Purposeful Lady

Miss Kim has three purposes
in life. First she wants to be a
happy person and she believes
this can be achieved by doing
something for her country. She
would like to enter the medical
field and has just begun a pre-mcd
course here.

Second, she wants to help free

mospnenc Honor

There's honor in the air. No Honor System exists at Agnes
Scott as far as Webster's "mode of operation governed by
general laws" is concerned. Honor at Agnes Scott is atmos-
pheric.

As an atmosphere, honor encloses every building, every
activity, every person here. Honor like air' can't be parceled
out into sections; social, academic, or personal. Everyone
is exposed to it. Of course, you don't have to take it in, but
living without honor will soon cause spiritual suicide.

Why, you say, have a Student government, then? Why the
rules, regulations, and general irritations? Isn't breathing
natural? Does it have to be taught? Obviously you've never
had Speech 105.

One of the first principles is to learn how to breathe so as to
inhale as much air as possible and more important to be able
to control it to gain the greatest amount of benefit from each
breath. Rules, regulations and general irritations are merely
guides to a deeper, more effective honor.

Student government rules give you artificial respiration,
but you can't hire it as your permanent iron lung. Try it
and watch yourself pale and weaken out of reach of its
support. Honor must become not a "mode of operation gov-
erned by general laws" but " a way of thinking and acting
developing from inner beliefs."

Some few may find our atmospheric pressure stifling, hv-
their trouble is purely organic. No one breathes well with
his head clogged. An air of honor to most Agnes Scotters is
stimulating because it is their natural element.

We don't congratulate people for breathing but we expect
them to do it naturally, easily and without a lot of puffing and
noise. Honor at Agnes Scott is taken for granted in the
same way, but once a year we rededicate ourselves, or take
a deep breath.

Zaugg Forsees Communistic Threat
To Christianity In Atheistic Religion

Pointing out the increasing threat of Communism to Chris-
tianty behind the "Iron Curtain", Earnest Zaugg, correspon-
dent for the Religious News Service stated yesterday that
"the atheistic doctrine of Communism is the most offensive
sign of Communistic ideology." Mr. Zaugg was speaking to a
large group of students and facul-

tyty assembled in Maclean audi-
torium.

Citing examples of the clash be-
tween Communism and the stu-
dent and religious groups behind
the "Iron Curtain" Mr. Zaugg de-
scribed his observation of the per-
secutions and the consequent resis-
tance movement of these groups.

"Young people are in the forests
fighting with hand grenades and
rifles as well as ideas," he said. In
spite of the shrewd spy system of
the Communists small bands of
students and religious organiza-
tions continue the underground
operations which were practiced
during the war.

Mr. Zaugg explained however
that the policy of the Communists

varies from church to church. The
larger Christian groups consider
their religious freedom more cur-
tailed under the Communist re-
gime than do the smaller churches,
Mr. Zaugg pointed out.

This difference in the attitude
of the two groups is due to the fact
that the large churches regard
outside activities of the church
such as schools, and the press as
part of their religious freedom.
Communist attacks upon these ac-
tivities are therefore a direct cur-
tailment of their freeedom.

The smaller churches on the
other hand do not place the same
emphasis upon these activities and
some feel that actually they have
more freedom than formerly.

C. A. Halo

B^V Evelyn Foster

Mary Hays, vice-president of C.
A., presented the Christian asso-
ciation program of activities for
the year, Tuesday in chapel. In
its entirety the program will be
an effort toward the practical ap-
plication of the theme of the year,
"Love Christ, Live Christ."

Plans for chapel and vespers
were previewed with general em-
phasis upon widening the scope
of our Christianity. Through these
programs, C. A. proposes to ex-
plore Christianity's place in the
arts, sciences, and social sciences
as well as in worship services.

Eleanor Bridgman will present
Sunday's vesper service which
will center around the sacred
writings of the Chinese religions,
the second in a series of programs
on various faiths.

Paul Garber, professor of Bible,
presented the first in the series,
a program on the ^indu faith. In
his introduction he reminded us
that Christianity is an open-mind-
ed religion, one which seeks to
understand and learn from other
religions. Continuing, he describ-
ed briefly the Hindu faith, giving
its main principles. One phase of
that faith to be greatly admired
and perhaps benefited from, he
concluded, is the very strong em-
phasis upon the spiritual.

Faculty Members
Travel to Mexico

A trip to Mexico was the high-
light of the past summer for Miss
Edna Ruth Hanley and Miss
Louise Hale.

They spent a month taking in
the sights of Mexico City, Cuen-
avaca, Tazco, and Guadalajara, in
particular, and northern Mexico,
in general. Miss Hanley says she
was especially impressed by the
Mexican people and their serious
and faithful attendance at church.
She also enjoyed a bull fight, an
opera, and a game of jai alai
which she witnessed.

Miss Hale said that all of Mex-
ico was "wonderful", and that
she was interested in the beau-
tiful Fine Arts building and art
exhibits in Mexico City.

The two travelers also spent
a night at Cuenvaca where Cortes
once stayed.

Campus Slips

Esther Edler was taking her
handbook exam one gloomy af-
ternoon in Buttrick. On the black-
board was the question: "(a)
What time does the infirmary
close at night? (b) If you get
sick after that time what do you
do?" Thoughtfully Esther answer-
ed, "(a) 9 p. m., (b) Die!"

Waving good-bye to all of her
friends in Boyd as they left to
go out Friday night, Beryl Crews
remarked, "Don't worry, girls. I'll
keep the phone-fires burning."

Two freshmen sitting by Kate
Elmore, Hunt Morris, and Lorton
Lee, giggling hysterically in the
dining room and from one to the
other came the profound state-
ment: "You can always tell sen-
iors they're so silly!"

Then there's the story about the
freshman who dragged a- senior to
Main to chaperon her campus
date.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wed., Oct. 13, 1948

Frosh, Soph Chairmen Delve Into Drama;
Agnes Scott Listens In on "Catty" Dialogue

By Cissie Spiro and Bobbie Jones

We had an appointment to meet for lunch on Saturday.
First we were to have our pictures taken (see page 1 if you
have a strong nervous system) then we were to interview
each other in order to write features for the News about
this year's stunt chairmen. Our conversation was so "Catty"
that we thought the whole school

might like to hear it.

Cissie: Well, let's get this or-
deal over with as soon as pos-
sible.

Bobbie: Do you think we can
get this finished in about fifteen
minutes? I only have four com-
mittee meetings waiting for me.

Cissie: Four? Why what hap-
pened to the rest of them? Tell
me, does all this confusion scare
you, or are you used to being in a
continual fog?

Bobbie: Yes, I certainly am. I
never could remember in high
school whether this was the day
for Spanish or Latin Club or Stu-
dent Council or Annual Staff or
Dramatics Club to meet. I also
had to march with the band for an
hour every afternoon. I always
ate supper in a rush and at the
most outlandish times of the day.

Cissie: Coming from New York
we always ate supper at the same
time the evening but this mad
life down here could make even
a rough and tumble Yankee shiver!

Bobbie: Tell me, Cissie, are all
the stories I've heard about your
being such a wit true?

Cissie: Well, you might say
they're half true. Suppose we
get down to serious business. For
some reason we're supposed to
give the school an inside picture
of our lives. Was I lied to when
I was told you were a second Ezio
Pinza?

Bobbie: That may be quite true
by the time Pop Johnson gets
through with me. There was a
time when I thought I was a so-
prano and sang nothing else. At
camp this summer I sang secondf
Now I'm singing alto. Can you

imagine what will happen by the
time I'm a senior?

Cissie: Well, don't let it dis-
hearten you. I know how you
feel. I tried to write passionate,
soul-stirring poetry and people
only laughed at it. But when I
try to write a humorous, jolly
verse, tears come to the eyes of
my friends. I tell you, I'm just
so misunderstood.

Bobbie: Oh! (Heh, Heh) you
write?

Cissie: Oh, don't you? (chuckle,
chuckle).

Bobbie: In a manner of speaking.

Cissie: Speaking of speaking
where do you get that foreign
drawl ?

Bobbie: I'm from Ocala, Florida.

Cissie: Well, what made you
leave alligator land to come to the
territory of Crown Prince Her-
man ?

Bobbie: Agnes Scott's an old
tradition around our house. My
mother, four aunts, and a cousin
came here. But what's your ex-
cuse for invading the South?

Cissie: I thought I'd like to see
a different section of the country
and meet people that didn't have
the same type city background
that I had. I heard that Agnes
Scott was a fine school and the
one graduate I knew was such
a wonderful person that I thought
maybe Agnes Scott would have
a little effect on me too. I love
it here, and I'll have to confess
that I was glad to see Southern
soil even Georgia mud in Sep-
tember.

Bobbie: We're glad you like our
part of the country, but someday
I hope to get up to New York.

Cissie: Why do you want to
come to that wonderful metrop-
olis ?

Africa Bound

Bobbie: It's very round-about,
and you might not understand, but
I'd like to sail on a boat out of
your city for Africa. You see,
I'm planning to be a missionary.

Cissie: When I'm president of
the United States I'll send you to
Africa as my official representa-
tive.

Bobbie: (Intelligently) I gather
you wish to be president.

Cissie: Gee, these freshmen get
smarter every year! I want a
rareer in politics. If I can't have
this, my next ambition is to be on
the staff of "the New Yorker."
Bobbie: The New Yorker? Is that
the magazine that's so popular in
Boston?

Cissie: How dare you say that?
I live by that magazine as closely
as I live by the Agnes Scott Hand-
book.

Bobbie: Do we have to mention
in this article my mad passion for
swimming and canoeing?

Cissie: That's what I taught at
camp this summer. Let's make a
date to go swimming on October
17. I guess the school can be sure
that way that we'll both get back
safely.

Bobbie: Okay, let's do that.
And so ended our interview. We
don't imagine that you've learned
very much about us from our con-
versation; but right now we're so
busy we couldn't stay and tell
our right names. (If you're inter-
ested, see "Atlanta Journal," Oc-
tober 6, 1948. It covers Dixie like
the dew and it got in a couple of
drips too!) We know that only one
class can win next Saturday, but
we both feel that it will be the
better class. No matter which one
it is, both of us realize that we
have made a friend worth having
when we got to know each other.

Annual Staff Needs
Business Assistants

Before the annual can go to
press, the business staff would
like to acquire several new busi-
ness assistants Jean Niven an-
nounced. Any student is welcome,
but girls living in Decatur and
Atlanta are especially urged to
try out by dropping a note through
the local mail to Jean Niven,
boarding student.

Gals About

By Billie Powell

Those Tech Sigma Chis continue to amaze us! The latest
is their "Heaven and Hell" party given this Saturday night.
As guests entered the house, they were ushered into Purga-
tory and from thence they were allowed to float to the ethere-
al heights of Heaven or descend to the fiery depths below.

Angelic guests were at home in

a third-floor heaven of glistening
white angels hair cloud and tin-
foil stars. They drank milk for
refreshment. The basement real-
ly looked like hell. It was given
an appropriate atmosphere by
jagged tongues of crepe paper
flames and a river Styx that bub-
bled most horridly with dry ice.
It was even hot!

Haloes and Pitchforks

Agnes Scotters who donned
their horns and haloes for the oc-
casion were Mim Steele, Ruth
Vineyard, Betsy Deal, Splinter
Board, Helen Land, Lynn Phillips,
Liz Williams, Julianne Cook, Sa-
rah Tucker, and Sharon Smith.

Tech's football game also drew
crowds of girls. Virginia Arnold,
Harriet Lurton, Willa Wagner,
Margie Orr, Joann Piastre, An-
nelle Simpson, Betty Finney, and
Pat Mcgowan were there. Robbie
Robeson and Charlsie Smith were
there, too. (See Sunday's "At-
lanta Journal").

Jean Junker, Ann Kincaid, Sal-
ly Jackson, Eleanor McCarty, Bet-
ty Averill, Jackie Palmer, Dot
Medlock, Cathy Daels, Josephine
Palmer, Betty Wilson, and Kitty
Warren also cheered for the Yel-
low Jackets.

After The Game

The Tech ATOs entertained
with a house dance Saturday night.
They invited Alice Lowndes, Dell
Parkerson, B. J. Sauer, Betty
Averill, and Page Hutchinson to
help them rush.

And Tech SAEs also had a
house dance. Anna Wells, Caro-
lyn Dennison, Mable Perkinson,
Ann Parker, Cornelia Dickerson,
Sally Jackson, and Barbara Quat-
tlebaum attended.

Our Emory friends were busy
rushing, too. At the KA house

were Dot Rollins, Betty Moon,
and Tiny Morrow. Helping the
Sigma Chis rush were Charity
Bennett and Betty Averill. Teeka
Long went to the ATO house and
Liz Ragland to the SAE house.

Hockey Play*
For Opening Game Friday

Hockey players puffed down the
field in practice games Friday,
giving Coach Wilburn a chance
to evaluate new material and
speculate on the possible champs.
The first game is scheduled for
this Friday at 4 p. m. when the
seniors battle the frosh and the
sophomores take on the juniors.

According to Miss Wilburn the
senior team shows the most pro-
mise. The seniors have a large
number playing this year. Twenty
players signed up for the team
Manager Bobbie Cathcart said,
with promising new material like
Elizabeth Williams as well as
Veterans Ellis, Cuthbertson, New-
ton, and Price. Miss Wilburn sees
the senior strength in their speed
and more skillful use of technique
plus teamwork.

Sophs have no noticeable weak
spots with players like Center
Forward Liz Ragland, Hockey
Manager Wilton Rice, and Soph
Manager Jimmie Ann McGee, Miss
Wilburn continued, but they are
out experienced by the seniors in
teamwork.

Picking the juniors, under the
management of Terrel Warburton,
as the greatest threat to the sen-
ior favorites, Miss Wilburn said
their greatest advantage is in the
skillful playing of Fullbacks Wil-
liamson and Truslow.

The freshman team managed
by Cornelia Dickerson has only
three players who have dribbled
down the field before, but Miss
Wilburn says she believes thi in-
experienced material will shape
up into a good team.

Friday's games begin the sea-
son which will last through De-
cember 3. The schedule through
October as announced by Wilton
Rice, manager, reads :

Oct. 15 Sophs vs Jrs.

Sr. Vs. Frosh.

Oct. 22 -Sr. vs Soph.

Jr. vs Frosh.

Oct. 29-nSr. vs Jr.

The Salemite'
Characterizes
Dean Hunter

"The Salemite" Oct. 1, 1948.

"Miss Charlotte Hunter, new
dean of students finds Salem a
"warm and friendly place." Since
her arrival on campus she has
been a very busy person, but she
has maintained her calm while
meeting more than 300 students.

Miss Hunter has had ten years
experience as assistant dean of
students at Agnes Scott college
and spent last summer at Duke,
which no doubt laid the ground
work for the amazing efficiency
that she shows.

During her spare time (which
she has lacked so far at Salem)
the tall slender dean plays an
occasional set of tennis, rides
horseback and reads.

On her list of favorites are an-
imals and "coffee at any hour."
Although she admires cats be-
cause "they are so intelligent"
there is nothing she would like
better than to own a dog.

Miss Hunter could call either
Williamsburg, Va., Davidson or
Long Island, N. Y. home. Asked
what place could be named as her
residence, with a lovely twinkle
in her eyes she replied that home
is "where I hang my hat and
have my wardrobe; right here
now."

see the skit, which will reveal
all."

The picnic, which is to be a
blue-jean affair, will be Wednes-
day, Oct. 20, at Harrison hut, and
will begin at 5:30 p. m. In addi-
tion to the skit, there will be a
brief talk by Dr. W. M. Alston.

Swimming Club

Tryouts for swimming club
will be held from 5 p. m. to 6 p.
m. Monday through Friday.

Play By Play

By Margaret Brewer

"Now look, chum," Chief said the other day, "you've dillied
around long enough with that so-called page of yours. It's
time you dallied into something that could be legitimately
classed under the title of 'Sports' or would that be too much
of a strain!"

"Put down
that whip, and
}uit dripping sar
casm 'ole girl,"
I answered,
"you've just fall-
en heir to a Bill
Stern or Pete
named Smith the
second."

So with my 20-
50 television eye,
and a pen that's "guaranteed not
for years, not for life, but for-
ever," I went scurrying across the
campus in search of sports news,
stopping only long enough to
squash a few enticing acorns
scattered on the walk.

Acorns and Thoughts
On the way, while squashing and
thinking, it seemed to me there
was something on the radio re-
cently about an important base-
ball contest between the Boston
Braves and the Cleveland Indians.
At least while I was trying to
study philosophy one day a voice
blared forth with so stirring ac-
count of a baseball game that my
notes informed me next day that,
according to the Hedonistic the-
ory we all desire and strive for
a home run, which supports the
contention Di'Maggio is the high-
est goal in life.

And then there must have been
a football game somewhere around
here last Satuday, because it took
two hours instead of the usual one

to plough through chrysanthe-
mum-petaled streets on the Geor-
gia Power Company's Toonyville
trolley. Somebody said Tech was
playing Washington and Lee.
Ultimatium

But enough of this! If such
threatening orders from head-
quarters hadn't been issued I'd
write about fift yper cent of the
sports' staff making Honor Roll
last year 'course there's only two
on the sports' staff. Or, that if
someone doesn't tryout for that
"horrible old sport's page" very
soon there's going to be a funeral
held in the newsroom.

But, of course, I wouldn't dare
write these things.

Stirring Sounds

Jabber Wacky

By Lee Cousar

An Agnes Scotter recently remarked that college life was
a combination of noises, and she certainly had reason to
make such an observation. There are, of course, the ordinary
noises like bells, and bells, and also bells. But there are,
too, some rather strange ones.

One of these unusual noises be-
gins to penetrate our uncon-
sciousnesses at about 6 a. m. Nope,
it's not an alarm clock, though
nearly as persistent. It is, rath-
er, a knocking sound that causes
unaccustomed souls to spring to
their windows and I quote from
a familiar poem to see what is#
the matter. The noise, especially
renowned in the cottages, can be
traced by a clever observer to the
radiators, who, awaking refresh-
ed after a cool night's sleep, feels
that it's time for us to start
knocking around, too.

Mow 'em Down
Another noise is encountered
in the classroom and it is not the
professors' voices. Indeed, it ac-
tually has precedence over the
profs, so of course it's not the
students either. Especially prom-
inent in spring and early fall this
sound, which runs close compe-
tition to the shot heard around
the world, is the lawn-mower.
Grating forth, in the midst of
an important classroom discus-
sion, it has been known to cause
whole classes to retreat to a dis-
tant corner of Buttrick.

There are noises, too, reserved
only for those who live on the
first floor front of Inman or
the cottages. There is the familiar
swish of the broom on the front

porch in the morning, and there
are the usual snaps, crackles, and
pops of creatures flapping around
the porch light.

Ring (ing) Shouts

Speaking of noises, Inman habi-
tants really had their share of
them last Wednesday night when
one of their number came in With
a ring. After being thoroughly
awakened by the shouts of the
seniors on their hall, the fresh-
men filed out to take a look at
the cause of their late-hour arou-
sal.

One half-asleep freshman look-
ed, looked again, and then gasp-
ed, "You thing!!!" A few minutes
later she returned to say that
since she had fully awakened she
wanted to give the proper felici-
tations.

The final noise that must be
mentioned is the telephone bell.
The writer, after hearing the
story of one of the students, feels
that perhaps we don't fully ap-
preciate this noise. It seems that
the aforementioned student put
through a call to a well-known
girls' school to speak to a friend
of hers. After a short while, a
very stern voice informed her
that "no calls could be made to
the college after 7:30 p. m." And
we object at 10:30!

Accent, Easy Charm,
Total Evelyn Thorbeck

By Ann Windham

The music was nice; the decoratiions were beautiful; I
was having much fun. The Emory A. T. O. rush party was
progressing magnificently. Leaving the dance floor, care-
free and happy, we plopped down at a table with two very
attractive people..

Introductions were in order,
and we began the customary
mumbling of names and how-do-
you-do's. Someone said, "This is
Evelyn Thorbecke." Said I, "Hel-
lo, how are Good Night!" I gasp-
ed, made a stab at recovering my
composure, then muttered meek-
ly, "I'm supposed to have inter-
viewed you for the News. It was
to have been in at six o'clock," I
added, "but I always forget
things."

Evelyn Thorbecke smiled at my
discomfiture, and immediately I
had to laugh too. Evelyn, modest
and totally unaware of her per-
sonal importance, couldn't under-
stand why I should want to in-
terview her. "Because you're from
Holland," I explained.

Once Upon a Time . . .

"Then 1 will tell you what I
can about myself," she began. "1
was born in 1930 in The Hague.
But we weren't in Holland at all
during the war. At the beginning
we were in China; later we went
to South Africa, and then to
North Africa. You know, Pales-
tine, Syria, and that part of the
world. After that, we were in
France, and then my sister and
I wcr? in school in Switzerland
for a year." At my enthusiasm
over Switzerland, Evelyn spark-
led. "Oh, that was wonderful!"
she exclaimed.

Evelyn's globe-treking finally

brought her to the United States
in September of 1946. It is hard
indeed to believe that she has
been in America for only two
years. Her English, except for
the faintest trace of a complete-
ly charming Dutch accent, is im-
peccable, and her complete ease
and naturalness among Ameri-
cans is amazing. She has an inter-
national character, but she seems
more at home in Atlanta than a
great many of its native citizens,
and radiates that quality that we
of the Southern United States
like to think of as peculiar to
ourselves- -gracious friendliness.
Welcome to America
About America. Evelyn says
that she "loves it." "It's hard for
me to compare America with Eu-
rope," she says, "because I don't
remember so much about Europe.
I was only there for about a year
after the war. And before that we
had not been there for a long
time. But America seems some-
how more informal than Europe
and in many ways, more friendly."

Evelyn transferred to Agnes
Scott from Randolph-Macon Wo-
man's College in Lynchburg, SO
she has already been well-intro-
duced to the ways of American
colleges. I didn't venture to ask
her for a comparison of Agnes
Scott and Randolph-Macon, but I
did ask for her impression of Ag-
nes Scott. "I like it," she said.

The Wheel Roars

The Wheel has discovered. Not since the year of the
rainy May Day has Agnes Scott known such humiliation,
such desolation, such ruin. The Wheel has discovered Agnes
Scott's true character.

In despair seniors are frantically thumbing through "Advice
To the Lovelorn, Or Careers Can Be Beautiful." Juniors
are contemplating throwing out the Joint, while sophomores
have gone into a Grand Canyon slump. And the freshmen,
the innocent ones only a few weeks with us, have resorted
to studying on Saturday night.

All because the Wheel discoverecW-not only discovered
but published the truth in a stark Jack Camp expose. The
Wheel has made accusations that no Agnes Scott girl can
deny. They have charged that we are religious.

Such humiliation.

And they have proved not only this, but the fact that
only women live on campus and that we pick our faculty
for their intellectual ability rather than for the finer points,
such as marital eligibility.

How shameful, how degrading, how right you are.

Under the mushroom of gloom blown from Mr. Camp's
wisdom pipe, the revengeful girls have pondered on the real
destroyer of their happiness which not even a colony of
shmoos can restore. Is it the Wheel who printed, the colum-
nist who wrote, or perhaps a Brutus in a bathing suit wht,
jilted Mr. Camp?

Parachute,Punched-outGlobe
Make Stars Shine In Daylight

By Ann Pitts

Ten o'clock was the appointed hour for the big show, even
though I wasn't sure what kind of show I was going to see.

Looking all around first floor Science hall and not find-
ing Mr. Calder Master of Ceremonies I began calling his
name. A very scientific looking SENIOR came through the

door and said I'd probably find the] .

most interested from the first min-
ute Mr. Calder began his lecture
pointing out the North Star, the
Big and Little Dippers, the Seven
Sisters, Scorpio, and countless
other stars revolving around the
globe.

Mr. Calder remarked that the
only thing lacking was the music
that is usually played in the New
York Planetarium while one's eyes
are becoming accustomed to the
darkness, but he said soon that
this situation would be remedied.
Something New
Mr. Calder has been working on
the planetarium about a month.
It is composed of a spherical can-
opy made of a parachute and an
old geography globe with holes
punched in the correct places to
project the stars on the canopy.

Now that he has completed it,
his students will be able to have
their laboratories anytime, rather

astronomer downstairs in the
dark room. And goodness, what
a dark room! Soon however, my
eyes became accustomed to the
darkness and I was amazed to
find myself in a miniature plan-
etarium.

Stardust

Certainly, I was surprised and

But Evelyn appears to be a con-
servative, at least concerning
stating opinions about things with
which she is only slightly ac-
quainted. "I haven't been here
long enough to know. But real-
ly, I like Agnes Scott very much
indeed."

And we hope that Evelyn will
continue to like Agnes Scott "very
much." Her father, who has serv-
ed as Netherlands Ambassador
for many years, is now teaching
at Emory University, so Evelyn
will have a chance to know us
better, and, I hope, to like us as
much as we like her.

C. A. Halo

By Evelyn Foster

Monday night, the usual ves-
per time, will mark the begin-
ning of a series of three programs
intended to train for leadership
of worship programs all those in-
terested.

Sponsored by C. A., the series
will continue for three Monday
nights, and will include, ''speech,
the delivery of the program," by
Miss Roberta Winter, instructor
in speech; "the use of music in
the program" by Mrs. Rebekah
Clarke, instructor in music; and
"correlation and organization of
program material" by Paul Gar-
ber, professor of Bible.

Miss Ellen Douglass Leyburn
will speak in chapel Tuesday on
the subject, "Christianity in Lit-
erature," which, as Mary Hayes
has disclosed, will be one of a se-
ries which will attempt to show
the place of Christianity in va-
rious fields of study.

Ann Williamson, treasurer of
C. A., presented the budget in the
form of a skit last Tuesday. An
opportunity was given the stu-
dent body for making pledges
toward that budget. Anyone who
may not have been present will
find pledge cards in the bookstore.

The vespers series will continue
this Sunday night with a program
on the Baha'i religion led by Mrs.
Elizabeth Ruhe, who is a member
of the Baha'i faith.

Eleanor Bridgman presented
an examination of Chinese re-
ligion last Sunday, placing par-
ticular emphasis upon the ele-
ment of unselfishness as found in
these and in Christianity. Reading
illustrative passages, she showed
to us the importance placed upon
righteousness in both the Budd-
hist and Confucianist faiths, and
compared them to Christianity's
supreme example of unselfish-
ness, John 3:16.

Campus Slips

A discussion of Chaucer's "Can-
terbury Tales" was in progress
in Miss Laney's 211 class. To
bring the subject to the present,
Miss Laney remarked, "Whidh
one of you girls would like to
date the Squire?" "I would," re-
plied Mary Hayes Barber. "Why?"
inquired Miss Laney and without
considering the rashness of the
statement, Mary Hayes blurted
out, "Because he was 'as fresshe
as the monthe of May'."

Posted on the genetics assign-
ment board was this rather be-
fuddled problem which proved un-
solvable to the students.

"Two black female mice arc
crossed with a brown male. In
several litters female No. 1 pro-
luced nine blacks and seven
browns; female No. 2 produced
seventeen blacks. What deduc-
tion can you make concerning in-
heritance of black and brown
coat colors if the purple flower-
ed offspring may be expected to
breed true to purple?"

than having to wait for a star-
light night and the afternoon labs
will be much more convenient for
those lucky girls that go out on
Wednesday nights.

Dr. Calder is inviting the col-
lege community to visit his plan-
etarium to see the stars. So on
your next tour of the campus,
make this "little wonder" a must.

College Team To Kickoff
Greenback Game Oct. 28

Luncheon Will Inaugurate Eighth Drive;
Officials Set $20,000 Campus Goal

By Lee Cousar

The greatest football classic of our time will be held here on the Agnes Scott campus
when the Agnes Scott team composed of the four classes and the faculty meets the op-
posing Greenback team in November for the launching of the college's $1,500,000 campaign.

Campaign officials have set a goal of $20,000 for the campus team, which will have the
support of stutients and their parents, the class of '48, the faculty, and the administration.

The campaign will begin with a

colossal luncheon on October 28
in the gym with covers laid for ap-
proximately 650 people. The ad-
ministration, the faculty, the trus-
tees, boarders and day students
will all be present for this grand
campaign opening. At the ban-
quet, the classes will sit at their
own respective tables and will
compete for the best table dec-
orations. Under the direction of
Miss Leslie Gaylord, extensive
plans are being laid to make this
the biggest thing of its kind* in
Agnes Scott history.

During the 10 days following
the banquet, students will write
their parents for pledges, and stu-
dents and faculty will determine
the amount of their own pledges.
From November 8 to November
11 the actual pledging will take
place. These pledges may be paid
over a period of one year. This
campus campaign is in accordance
with the college's tradition of be-
ginning all campaigns with the
Agnes Scott family.

Campus Gridiron

With football as a motif for the
campus drive, the campaign com-
mittee, under the leadership of
Henry A. Robinson, faculty chair-
man, and Doris Sullivan, student
chairman, is making stupendous
plans for the actual waging of the
battle between Agnes Scott's team
and the hard-to-beat Greenbacks.

A small gridiron with miniature
players will stand in Buttrick lob-
by to show progress in the cam-
paign against the opponents. The
Agnes Scott team will be compos-
ed of the normal eleven players,
but attention will be focused on
the five wearing the insignia of
the four classes and the faculty.

Although the Agnes Scott team
will be working, as a whole to

Tech, Emory, Agnes Scott
Compare Political Issues

Pi Alpha Phi held its first for-
mal debate of the year Monday
night when Dot Porter, who spoke
for the Republican party, met
James Daniel from Tech, repre-
senting the Democratic party, and
Bobby Flournoy, of Emory, speak-
ing for the Dixiecrat party, in a
triangular debate here.

Dot opened the debate with a
comparison of the Democratic
and Republican issues, pointing
out that the most important dif-
ference lay in the leadership of
the two parties.

The Democratic speaker from
Tech gave a resume of Presi-
dent Truman's voting record in
the Senate. The third party speak-
er from Emory based his platform
on the states' rights theory.

Betty Jo Sauer presided over
the debate, and boys from Tech
and Emory were special guests.
The debate held here was one of
a series of three such debates.
Ann Carol Blanton represented
Agnes Scott and the Democratic
party at Emory, and Rose Ellen
Gillam debated for the Socialists'
party at Tech.

Hanley to Attend
Libarians' Meeting

Miss Edna Ruth Hanley, libra-
rian, will attend the meeting of
the Southeastern Librarians' as-
sociation in Louisville, Kentucky,
Wednesday through Friday. She
will be accompanied by Miss Phyl-
lis Downing, assistant librarian.

"The purpose of this meeting,"
Miss Hanley stated, "is to bring
about an exchange of ideas and
cooperation in various phases of
library work." In addition to
speakers, there will be seminars
in which problems and new de-
velopments will be discussed. Miss
Hanley expects that one of the
most interesting of the reports
to be given will be one on micro-
film reading machines.

These regional librarians' meet-
ings are held biennially, and this
year approximately 400 are ex-
pected to attend the one for the
southeastern area.

gain the $20,000, there will also
be competition among the players.
The player representing the class
that has raised the most "money
to date will be out in front on the
football field and will be carrying
the ball.

In addition, an anonymous con-
tributor has offered four prizes
which will stir up large-scale com-
petition. They are 1. $1000 for
the class first getting 100 per cent
subscriptions from it members;
2. $1000 for the class securing the
largest single gift; 3. $1000 for
the class with the largest total
pledges;- and 4. $1000 for the best
advertising or presentation by any
class.

100 Per Cent Subscription

At the luncheon on October 28,
the football idea will be further
carried out with a band, banners,
cheering, and singing. Mr. Wal-
ter B. Posey will act as toastmas-
ter, and there will be speakers
representing each group present.

This is the eighth campaign in
the history of Agnes Scott. Never
has a previous campaign not been
successful, and the campus goals

To Entertain
New Members

At the annual Bacon Bat sche-
duled for Friday at 6:30 p. m.
in Harrison Hut, the Agnes Scott
faculty will informally welcome
the new members into the faculty
circle.

Through a period of many years
the tradition of the Bacon Bat
has built up as an informal get
together at which the old faculty
and the new faculty become bet
ter acquainted by singing, play-
ing games, participating in con-
tests, and eating together.

The entire old faculty finances
the gay occasion. The second year
faculty are. responsible for plan-
ning and arranging entertain

THAT OLD, OLD TRADITION reigned Saturday night with the Sophomores taking the
kitty, hugged by Chairman Cissie Spiro and S enior Cheerleader Butch Hays, top right.
Winning for their skit, top left, and their singing led by 1951 Cheerleaders Julie Morgan,
Twig Hertwig, Butch Hays, and Betty Black mon, bottom right, the Sophs had to over-

Shouts Ring Out, Fur Flies;
Victorious Sophs Win The Cat

By Dot Medlock

The black cats around Agnes Scott gently licked their
wounds Saturday night, jumped down from the old back
fence, and settled for the winter in Rebekah lobby. This
had been their night to howl, when the freshmen and sopho-
more classes "with drama and ditty" were "pitted in a fight
for a kitty". And the sophomores

omores, looking like miniature
football players in their black
skirts and yellow sweaters, and all
of them proudly displaying the
number 51, came close on the heels
of four snappily dressed cheer-
leaders who flourished their white
gloves and black toppers with au-
thority.

Round after round of songs
came from both classes; the lights
dimmed; the stunts were about to
start! But no lights on again
and several more rounds of har-
mony. Then it was really time
for the freshmen to show their
stuff! And who should come
shuffling out but little Japanese
girls s ; nging clever lyrics to tunes
by a Mr. Sullivan or was it Gil-
bert ? You wouldn't call it "The
Mikado", but names like Nanki-

took the coveted cat home to
Rebekah for 1948 and '49.

The freshmen became a blur of
white dresses and blue ties as the
class of '52 marched through rows
of seats to take their places in
front of the biggest, blackest, grin-
ingest cat in Decatur. The soph-

Mew and Meow- Meow were
vaguely reminiscent of such an op-
eretta. It seemed that the Agnes
Catters had a rule about "no
flirting" and an unwary male had
broken said rule. The plot, of
course, turned out happily in the
end with each little cat finding his
kitten. Such "catty" remarks as
"maltese milk" brought down the
house.

Then more songs the classes of
'51 and '52 certainly should get
an E for effort and excellence in
their song writing endeavors.

The curtain was raised again
this time on a street where the
DeCATur Feline Seminary and
Fraternity Row were just a little
too close for reality. But it was
nice, even for just one night, and
the audience waited with bated
breath as our particular rushee
weighed the advantages of Eta
Bita Pi, Sigma Mew, ATO, Katta
Alpha, and Phi Beta Katta. The
size of the pin must have had
something to do with her choice,
for they were all on display at the
back of the auditorium in larger
than life size.

Gals About

By Joan Lawrence
(Guest Editor for Billie)

There was plenty to keep the
Agnes Scotters busy this week-
endwhat with Black Cats, foot-
ball games, rush parties, weddings,
and visitors.

Hot Stuff

Hot tempers matched the hot
weather Saturday afternoon and
there were plenty of Agnes Scot-
ters on hand to watch the Yellow
Jackets tangle with Auburn's
War Eagles. Robbie Robeson,
Charlsie Smith, Mim Steele,
Cathie Phillips, Lynn Phillips,
Steele Dendy, Susan Bowling,
Margie Graves, Jean Tollison, Pol-
ly Miles, Hanna Wood, Evelyn
Foster, Helen Christian
and Barbara Franklin were there
to see the excitement. Also pre-
sent were Nelda Brantley, Mil-
dred Broyles, Jackfe Palmer, Dot
Allison, Betty Cheney, Jane Hill,
Jeanne Junker, Pat Patterson,
Betty Jane Sharpe, Ann Stanley
Bright and Cornelia went to cheer
for Auburn.

Rush Season Ends

Emory finished up their rush-
ing for the season with lots of
parties. The Sigma Nu's had a
dude ranch party complete with
covered wagon. Newell Turner,
Betsey Deal, Liza White, La
Wahna Rigdon, and Julianne
Cook were there. Betty Esco, Sal-
ly Thomson, Pinky Pettit, and
Punky Chard went to the Beta
Hayride. To the SAE house went
Honey Browning, Anne Cope, Tib-
bie King, Sally Kelly, Gwen John-
son, Millie Lou Allison, Barbara
Brown, Jo Ann Cobb, and Sally
Jackson. Also Ginny Kay, Diana
Durden, Jean Osborn, Harriot

must have had quite a time decid-
ing. Then it was all over but the
shouting, with the sophomores
taking a pretty kitty home with
them, and the freshmen, not at all
left out, taking a special commen-
dation for their scenery to Inman.

Fur flew, tears were shed, and
shouts rang from every corner of
Agnes Scott, but the cat is resting
peacefully now, not to be disturbed
until next fall.

Anne McGuire Tootsie Crocker
and Gin Vining. The KA's had
Cathie Davis, Jane Windham,
Marjorie tylajor, Terrell Warbur-
ton, Kittie Currie and Anne Par-
ker. Ginny Feddeman and Teeka
Long went to the ATO banquet.

There were weddings too. Mary
Lou Mattison and Barbara Stain-
ton went home to be in Punky's
wedding. Josephine Kane and Ann
Gebhardt were in Joan Mahoney's
wedding.

There were plenty of visitors on
campus too. Helen Edwards set
a new record with four visitors
from Auburn. Twig Hertwig had
a visitor from P. C, Susan Gau-
ger, Patsy Cooper, Jane Hill, Dot-
tie Allison, Helen Huie, and Anne
Bottoms all had their families
here.

Jeanne Kline, Shorty Lehmann,
Dee Durden. are three more

SOPHS CHARGE in for one. of their winning goals, up-
* setting junior goalie to triumph in their first game of the
season.

Seniors Subdue Freshmen 9-0
While Sophs Beat Juniors 2-1

By Charlotte Key

The hockey season got off to a "kicking" good start Fri
day when the seniors solemnly marched out onto the field
in their black robes, then, casting these off, serenaded the
fans with rousing songs.

And speaking of rousing, did you see that hockey field?
It was rousing to anyone's spirits

with its decorated goal posts and
the streamers at every 25 yard
line attempting to inform those
who did not already know that
there was a Black Cat stunt at
hand.

The afternoon started off with
the seniors battling the frosh. The
frosh in this first game showed
remarkable skill, especially in
their defense. Half-back Sybil
Corbett and Goalie Carolyn Wett-
stein made the path to the goal
a rough one for the seniors. In
the end, however, the long exper-
ience of the seniors stood them
in good stead. The score was sen-
iors 9, freshmen 0.

After the first half of the game,
came a fast, close game between
the sophomores and the juniors.
And with it came the first vic-
tory in .the sophs' hockey career
as the final score read sophomores
2, juniors 1. The sophs welcomed
the expert help of newcomer Jean
Coart on a team that is coming up
in the sports world.

Phantoms of Fiction

Play by Play

By Margaret Brewer

At last I know what this page
needs! It has a Gremlin, and Kil-
roy has certainly been here, as
well as his brother, Leroy, but
what it has never had is a nice
chubby, bewiskered Schmoo! It
seems that everybody possesses
one of the little dears. Freshmen
and sophomores had one Black Cat
night, Emory has a few,
Daisy Mae and Li'l Abner have
some, and soon the people in Ger-
many will be finding "Parascho-
mooes" that American planes
have been dropping over their
countryside with an accompany-
ing promise that whoever finds
one is entitled to a ten pound box
of Jood.

Black Sheep Relative

Well, the Sports page doesn't
need food ,only the Sports writers
do, but it certainly could use a
nice 'ole second hand, slightly
worn figman,t of Al Capp's imag-
ination in other words a sch-
moo to help us combat its black
sheep relative the Gremlin.

Gym Gremlin

Now you may think that the
gremlin died when the war ended,
but I'm here to tell you it didn't.
For instance, there's a Gremlin in
the gym that spirits away all the
physical education instructors
when the two sports writers want
some info, and if, after several
days, it relents and lets us find
our prey, it's just because it is
bored and wants to do something
more obnoxious, like hiding your
notes right under your nose in
the news room. Worse yet, a
whole army of Gremlins carried
away all but four freshmen one

Saturday night so that A. A. de-
cided not to attempt to give a
Scavenger Hunt until the rush
season was over.

Finally, there's a big, fat, ugly,
nasty Gremlin, the granddaddy of
them all, that purloins all those
notes to the Sport's editor from
aspiring future reporters who are
offering their services to page
three in the Agnes Scott News.
The blackguard!

Sports Utopia

Now if someone were to donate
one sweet little Schmoo all our
troubles would vanish. Reporters
would actually FIGHT to join the
Sports page their stories would
always be .in on time and never
get lost, and physical education
instructors would pop up when-
ever their names were mentioned.
And best of all, it would see that
Play by Play had something about
sports in it.

So if anyone happens to find a
stray Schmoo, please mail to the
Sports department, care of the
News, and postage will be most
promptly paid upon delivery.

Comic Strips
Come To Life
At A. A. Party

Li'l Abner will chase Daisy Mae,
Mutt will wander around in search
of Jeff, and other comic strip char-
acters will hunt for their comic
strip partners at the A. A. party
for the freshmen Saturday night.
It's a new way to help dates find
each other.

At 6:45 p. m. freshmen and
their dates will meet in Main.
From there they'll proceed to
the new dining room for a buf-
fet supper guaranteed to tickle
the most stubborn of palates.

After the supper there'll be
badminton, shuffleboard, ping
pong, dancing, bridge, singing and
other games to keep the "char-
acters" happy. As Little Annie
Rooney would say " 'Gloryosky,'
It's going to be a wonderful par-
ty!"

Charity Bennett and Wilton
Rice are planning the menu.

Decorations will be arranged by
Julie Cufhbertson, Bunny Bran-
nan and Marie Cuthbertson.

Betty Van Houten is in charge
of entertainment.

tions of the club.

League of Women Voters

The members of the Agnes Scott
League of Women Voters heard
a talk by their president, Mary
Frances Jones, last Friday after-
noon about the purpose of the na-
tional and local leagues and made
plans, for our campus league for
the coming year.

The League of Women Voters
aims to, "Let the people know,
make the people care, and help
the people act." On the campus
level the League endeavors to
arouse student interest in govern-
ment affairs and to provide in-
formation for future action as in-
telligent citizens.

Plans for the year include a
mock election and trips to the
State Legislature and various
civic organizations.

The Agnes Scott League wants
to emphasize that students do
not have to be either voters or
Georgia citizens to become a
member but merely interested in
civic affairs. Anyone wishing to
become a member may speak to
Mary Frances Jones, Mabel
Burch field, or Barbara Lanier,
Chairman of the Membership
Drive.

Geffcken Sets Monday
As Aurora Deadline

Now is the time for all budding
writers to come to the aid of the

short stories, plays, or essays
even novels will be gratefully-
considered for publication.

All contributions should be in
the box marked "Aurora" in the
mail room by October 25.

T. V. Or Not T. V.

We think it's here to stay! First there were the talking
pictures then Alexander G. Bell came up with the telephone;
the miraculous birth of radio followed. And now it's tel-
evision!

Just think of it! Dozens of little pictures floating around
in the blue. And all it takes to bring them into our living
rooms and parlors are several thousands of dollars, just as
many trained technicians, and innumerable little gadgets so
complicated that even a bobby pin wouldn't fix it up if
something broke.

Television sets are springing up all over Atlanta, and our
one video station transmits pictures clearly for a radius of
fifty miles or so, which, incidentally, includes Decatur and
Agnes Scott.

The girl who has a date with & boy who can't afford the
price of two movie tickets would certainly be in luck if
Agnes Scott had a television set in the recreation room in
Main. And Tech's football games wouldn't have to be limited
to those hardy souls who can stand the burning sun at Grant
Field for two and a half hours.

Science is always advancing; who are we to hinder the
progress of invention?!!? D. M.

Seniors Strife

Jabber Wacky

By Lee Cousar

"Oh, are you a senior? How wonderful!" sighs the wide-
eyed family friend, apparently amazed that you are finishing
school in only four years. And you smile complete acqui-
escence when in reality you're not finding it so wonderful
after all.

For one thing, there's the per-
petual "What'cha gonna do next
year?" question, which sets you to
flapping your . tongue vigorously
for a short time, at the end of
which time you have told about all
the jobs that all of your friends
have secured and all the things
that people can do who majored
in what you are majoring in, but,
strangely enough, you have for-
gotten to mention what you're
going to do.

The Lucky Few

There are, of course, those in
our class who will march on in
their search for knowledge at
graduate school, and there are
those who will settle down in some
nice cozy little place, like Arabia,
and make a home. But then there
are others.

If that, however, were the only
problem confronting seniors, life
could, even yet, be beautiful. But
unfortunately there are other
things like setting an example
for the underclassmen. To clar-
ify this point I will relate the
story of a senior whom I know
living in an underclassman dorm.
This poor senior, feeling the de-
sire for companionship, crossed the
hall to converse momentarily with

a friend, only to find on her re-
turn, two minutes and thirty sec-
onds later, that her roommate
had returned from a telephone
conversation and had given her a
house knock for leaving the lights
on because "we must set a good
example".

Tables Turned

Then, too, there is this business
of the sudden transition that we
have been forced to make from
being disciplinarians' problems to
being disciplinarians. One senior
stood in the hall 15 minutes sev-
eral nights ago trying to muster
courage to give a house knock to
a young culprit who was brushing
her teeth after lights. Finally, the
knock was given in a very severe
voice, only to receive the reply
"but I'm a day student". Hence,
no more knocks.

Double Trouble

But there are even worse trou-
bles that seniors have, and they
are noted in the classroom. When
you were a freshman, your ignor-
ance was forgiven; when a sopho-
more, it was, excused; last year,
it was endured; but this year
"inexcusable in a senior!" And
it's supposed to be such a priv-
ileged life!

Critic Lauds Talent
In Chapel Display
Of Speech, Music

By Barbara Scheeler

Friday's chapel brought before
the campus a score of talent from
the speech and music department.

Special commendation goes to
Dorothy Adams, who played the
"Witches Dance" by McDowell,
for her excellent technique. Her
touch was light and sure, and
volumes were well distinguished.
The technique for the second
theme was outstanding for bal-
ance.

Joann Wood is to be congratu-
lated for being able to transcend
the mere technical elements of
her selection, "The Engulfed
Cathedral" by Debussy, and make
the audience see the thought of
the composer. Her interpretation
brought to mind the picture of the
cathedral rising oujt and descend-
ing into the ocean.

Ann Pitts, in singing "Clouds"
by Charles, and "The Star" by
Rogers, displayed good poise and
excellent intonation. Her pianis-
simo passages brought out her
musicianship to its best extent.

Jean Osborn, and Norah Ann
Little showed absolute assurance
and complete blending of voices.
Intonation and memory were ex-
cellent in their selections, "The
Garden Of My Heart" by Dorel,
and "Where My Caravan Has
Rested" by Lohr.

Reese Newton and Rebecca
Bowman recited clearly and dis-
tinctly, and both voices carried
well. Reese Newton seems to be
a master in getting into the spirit
of her characters and getting the
effect over to the audience.

C. A. Halo

By Evelyn Foster

Another member has been add-
ed to C. A. cabinet a day stu-
dent representative, Fay Ball.
This office is a new one and is
being tried out this quarter to
determine whether or not it
should be a permanent addition.

Next Sunday night the campus
will be given an opportunity to
learn something about a typical
Jewish worship service in a vesper
program led by Hazel Berman
Karp.

Our last vesper program was
given by Mrs. Elizabeth Rune, of
the Baht's faith. Her talk had
as its central thought, prayer.
The Bahaists, she told us, hold
prayer to be obligatory and set
aside a definite time of each day
and each evening for it. She em-
phasized the importance of pray-
er as a means of communication
with God as a means of expressing
gratitude to Him, and as a means
of asking and receiving His pro-
tection.

In chapel yesterday the student
body enjoyed a most interesting
talk by Miss Ellen Douglass Ley-
burn on the subject, "Christianity
in Literature."

No one will want to miss the
program in the Worship Leader-
ship Training Series which will be
Oct. 25. It will be under the lead-
ership of Mrs. Rebekah Clarke,
and will have as its subject, the
use of music in worship service.
The series was opened Monday
night by Miss Roberta Winter,
who gave us some good pointers
on the delivery of a program
using several students as "guinea
pigs."

Mr. Welborn Chases Dates;
Shoots Skunk Near Rebekah

By Mary Alice MacDonald

Between chasing reluctant dates from the colonnade to
walking Todd, Susie, and Patty to the McCain's late at night,
Mr. Welborn manages to keep himself pretty busy during
his night hours of work as policeman here at Agnes Scott.
But he willingly found time to tell the facts in the strange
case of Mr. Skunk.

It seems that Rebekah was hav-
ing a frequent visitor who an-
ticipated making his home under
the porch permanently. Several
girls saw the skunk and told Mr.
Welborn about it. In a few nights
he received a telephone call re-
porting the whereabouts of Mr.
S. Mr. Welborn rushed to the
scene just as the skunk retreated
to his snug den under the porch.
Phew!

Settling down for a prolonged
vigil, Mr. Welborn stationed him-
self on a beat from the porch
steps to the kitchen. Patience
had its reward for in a short while
the skunk stealthily edged out
from under the porch and made his
way along the wall to the kitchen.
Mr. Welborn was too quick for him
however, and cornered him in the
shrubbery by the kitchen. He
pulled out his gun and that ended
the career of one Agnes Scotter
who never quite made the grade.
The Morning After

Next morning everyone saw a
big skunk hanging from the per-
simmon tree and wondered what
had happened the night before.
Here is the story straight from
Mr. Welborn's lips.

The animal has come to his
final resting place on a dissect-
ing table in the biology lab to
serve a useful purpose in the ad-
vancement of science.

This was only a small incident
in the nightly routine of Mr. Wel-

born, who has been at Agnes Scott
"keeping law and order" as he
jokingly said, for almost two years.

He was born and reared right
here in DeKalb county and has
hunted, fished, and trapped all his
life. He said that chasing the
skunk was just like his boyhood
days.

Coffee and Cookies
Mr. Welborn has done many
things during his two years here
as the policeman. One of the
most recent contributions which
has done a great deal to lessen the
traffic congestion is the marking
of parking places along the drives
on campus.

A very welcome sight is Mr.
Welborn standing in the door of
the News room with hot coffee'
and fig newtons about twelve on
a cool autumn night. This is just
one more thoughtful, kind act
which Mr. Welborn performs in
his own friendly way.

Campus Slips

Two Fire Department inspec-
tors were going over Boyd Cot-
tage inch by inch the other day
when Terrell Warburton came
racing in from class. She stopped
dead at the sight of masculinety
in Boyd and exclaimed, "What
on earth are those street-car con-
ductors doing in Boyd?"

Peggy Penuel, junior day stu-
dent, is the author of the win-
ning May Day scenario.

Peggy is an Agnes Scott stu-
dent who is taking courses on cam-
pus for the first time this year,
her writing first impressed the
campus when Peggy wrote the
sophomore skit for last year's
Black Cat.

Peggy's scenario, which won
over four other entries, is entitled
"An Irish May Day." Emerald
Isle in the merry, merry month
is the theme for the 1949 scena-
rio, announced Mimi Arnold,
chairman of the May Day com-
mittee. Mimi said that the "verse
form is delightful in its original-
ity, freshness, and lightness."

The May Day dell, she contin-
ued, will be transformed into old
Ireland complete with mischiev-
ous leprechauns dainty , faries,
and the sought after pot o' gold.
Nancy Park's wrote last year's
winning scenario.

Judges Wilson, Lobeck, and
Evelyn Foster are viewing ar-
rangements, evaluating practi-
cality, and making the final selec-
tion of the Inman room which
will be crowned Dek-It's 1948

Thursday Banquet Stri kes up the Band
As Warm-Up For $20,000 Classic

At 12.30 tomorrow the band will strike up, the luncheon will begin, and Agnes Scott's
$1,500,000 campaign will be off to its exciting start. Class cheers and yells, plus a
twelve-piece student band, will give spicy football flavor to the occasion, not to mention the
faculty's song contribution, which is, to date, a closely-guarded secret.

Students will assemble in the gym, informally attired, immediately following the last

morning class. Chapel will be omitted so that classes will
end at 12:30 instead of at the usual one o'clock hour.

The entire gym will be cleverly decorated, carrying out
the football theme, and class rivalry will be at a high pitch
as the classes contest for the best table decorations, the best

Book Award
Competition
Opens Thurs.

Agnes Scott encourages the ac-
quiring of books both by owner-
ship and by intellectual under-
standing. Each year the Louise
Mc-Kinney Book award of $25 is
given to the Agnes Scott student
who, in the opinion of the judges,
acquires during the current year
the most interesting and discrim-
inating personal library and who
reveals real understanding of her
books.

A collection must contain at
least 15 books to be eligible for
the award. A collection may con-
tain gifts, but the whole group
is expected to give evidence to the
student's own initiative and dis-
criminating choice, and represent
the owner's taste, either in sev-
eral fields of interest, or in one
special field. A complete list of
instructions will be posted on - the
main bulletin board Thursday.

Names of all contestants must
be handed to some member of

College Journalists
Meet At Columbus

The publications convention of
the Associated Collegiate Press in
Columbus, Ohio, last week includ-
ed three Agnes Scott students
among the 500 delegates.
v Representing the Aurora was
Jo Heinz, art editor, while Bus-
iness Manager Mary Aichel, and
Editor Lorton Lee were the Agnes
Scott News delegates.

Despite the 18-hour bus trip
coming and going that resembled
a roller-coaster ride, they reported
the trip a complete success, and
plan to recommend it to future
staffs as an annual trip.

The convention headquarters
were in the Deshler-Wallick hotel.
A prize winning bull with a sign
reading, "Steaks on Sale Tomor-
row" added a homely touch to
one corner of the lobby.

A convocation speech, by Dr.
James E. Pollard, director of Ohio
State school of journalism, opened
the conference Thursday night.
A session of musical entertainment
provided by the Jazz club con-
cluded the evening on the Ohio
state campus.

Friday was taken up with round-
table meetings beginning at 9 a.m.
and lasting until 4 p. m. The for-
ums were divided into categories
for newspapers, yearbooks, and
magazines. These discussions and
lectures were led by outstanding
men in the journalistic and adver-
tising field and included V. Edward
Canale, National Advertising serv-
ice president; Bob Crater, city
editor of The Columbus Citizen;
John Guenther, editorial writer
for The Columbus Dispatch; Otto
Quale, assistant director of A. C.
P. and Professor Fred L. Kildow,
director of A. C. P.

Dr. Robert S. Hartman, pro-
fessor of philosophy at Ohio state
addressed the delegates Friday
night at the banquet which was
followed by a dance.

Saturday morning, roundtable
discussion resumed until the con-
vention broke up at 12 noon in
time for the Ohio State vs Wis.
consin university football game.
Leaders of the forums not only
gave advice bu't individual criti-
cism of publications.

C. A. Halo

By Evelyn Foster

The approach of Halloween
means the coming of All Saints
Day, a holiday which, perhaps,
few of us really understand. Next
Sunday night Martha Stowell will
lead an inspirational Vesper pro-
gram which will explain to us its
meaning.

The Vesper service last Sunady,
under the leadership of Hazel Ber-
man Karp, interpreted for us the
Jewish Sabeth, its use, its mean-
ing, its purpose. To the Jews,
Hazel said, the Sabbeth is a day
of worship, of joy, of celebration,
of rest, of reunion with families
anl friends. As she spoke, she
compared it to some extent to the
old Jewish conception of the Sab-
beth.

Week-end Tricks

Gals About

By Billie Powell

Agnes Scott gals really made a mass exodus from the
campus this weekend. We find them journeying to points
north, east, south and west for their entertainment thrills.
But no matter what the direction, the tired travelers' answer
to the standard question, "Didja have a good time?", is always
the standard 'Wonderful!"

or

possibly "How on earth will I
ever study this week?" or it could
be, "Yeah, it's such a blow to
have to come back and face the
grim reality of lessons after such
a weekend."

Sheean To Lecture Nov. 5
On India After Gandhi'

By Twig Hertwig

Vincent Sheean, world famous author-correspondent, comes
to Agnes Scott Friday, November 5 at 8:30 p. m. to speak on
the subject "India After Gandhi."

An articulate eye-witness of history, Vincent Sheean has
a knack for being where the news pops and picking it up hot.
He was a witness to Gandhi's as-
sassination in India.

Mr. Sheean has been called an
enviable mixture of philosopher,
prophet, and poet. He is disting-
uished from most other corres-
pondents by his impressive literary
stature. His "Personal History"
and "Not Peace But a Sword" be-
came international best sellers.

Public Lecture association pre-
sents Mr. Sheean Friday, the night
before Investiture. Admission is
free for both students and their
families.

Tickets for the Cornelia Otis Skinner performance, which
will be presented in Presser Hall on November 1 at 8:30 p. m.,
have already been sold out. This lecture is one in a program
of monologues which will be presented by the Decatur Junior
League sponsors of the DeKalb Clinic.
Cornelia Otis Skinner has been

notably successful in giving dra-
matic monologues, including
"Wives of Henry the Eighth."
She is the author of the two out-
standing best-sellers, "Our Hearts
Were Young and Gay" and "Our
Hearts Were Growing Up." Both
of these books have recently been
made into movies.

Born into a theatrical family,
Miss Skinner traveled over Europe
when she was only four. She
said "it was part of Mother's plan
to expose me at a tender age to
cathedrals, palaces, and art gal-
leries." She was reared near Bryn
Mawr campus and attended college
there for two years. Then she
left school for the stage when she
was hardly eighteen.

Miss Skinner's performance will
open the sixth series of programs
which have been sponsored by the
Decatur Junior Service League.

plete the series for this year in a

Lobeck Exhibits
'5 Minute Sketches'
Of Bicycle Tour

By Cama Clarkson

A diary of sketches from a
summer spent in Europe is the
exhibit now being shown in room
321 Buttrick Hall. The drawings
were done by Miss Priscilla Lo-
beck, who took a bicycle tour of
Europe this summer. Because
Miss Lobeck wisely left her cam-
era at home, she brought back
these interesting "five-minute
sketches" drawn during brief
stops in the country or on the
streets of the cities.

The drawings are all done in
pen and ink medium, but each is
done with a different technique.
There are the people, described
with a few suggestive lines or
with many that portray their
moods with a touch of humor or
of pathos: the immigrant, the
groups conversing on ship deck,
the crowds on the streets of Lon-
don, Paris, Amiens, the grouping
of guests in the hotels.

Within the landscapes is capti-
vated the spirit of the country-
side; the sunny, flat fields of Hol-
land freckled with cows, the still,
open harbour of Plymouth, the
piled-up pattern of housetops in
Luxembourg, each caught in the
web of lines from Miss Lobeck's
sensitive pen.

The several gouache paintings
were done when Miss Lobeck had
returned to the United States; a
brilliant splash of color in the
quaint flower market of Brussels,
a distant view of the cathedral
through the streets of Chartres,
a pale lacy mid-Victorian house,
and a gay scene with gingerbread

Tales of Strange Discovery
Enthrall Johnson Audience

By Eliza Pollard

While illustrating the value of aerial photography in study-
ing ancient ruins, Dr. Jotham Johnson, head of the depart-
ment of classics at New York university, enthralled an aud-
ience of students, faculty members, and local citizens Thurs-
day night, with stories of mysterious discoveries in Peruvian
mountain ranges, English fields,

son was one in a huge flat desert
where endless networks of lines
of unusual extent were apparently
made by the natives' sweeping
aside all stones on the surface of
the ground. These lines can be
seen clearly from the air, but it
is hard to imagine how they were
laid out by anyone on the ground.
The patterns must bear some rela-
tionship to astronomy he conclud-
ed for the major lines seem to
point the positions of certain im-
portant stars.

foreign deserts, Central American
jungles, and depths of the Per-
sian wilderness.

In England, whenever anyone
digs a hole and fills it up, Dr.
Johnson stated, the new soil is of
a different type, more loosely
packed, and more water absorb-
ent than that around it. Color
photographs taken from the air
will show paterns of greener grass
there. Old trench lines can be
detected by this modern method
of archaeological study, he contin-
ued, and indicates walls.

Very recently hundreds of Az-
tec cities have beeen discovered in
the most inaccessible tangles of

Johnson informed his audience.
These cities could have never been

Karin Prefers United States;
Names Switzerland As Pet'

i By Ann Windham

The Thorbecke sisters are either very hard or very easy

to find. In the case of Evelyn, my difficulty was occasioned

by bumping squarely into her in the most unexpected sort

of place; but when I tried to find Karin, she was simply not

obtainable. With perseverance, however, I finally cornered

Karin Thorbecke. and found her ^ . , , ,,'

Switzerland, Hunter College, or

Agnes Scott.

Karin's field of study is natural
science. When I asked what she
is studying, she replied, "Lots of
science biology and chemistry
mostly. I'm majoring in chem-
istry." When she has finished
Agnes Scott, she plans to enter
medical school "If I can." At
the moment, her plans include
only medical school for the im-
mediate future, and she prefers
to finish med school before con-
sidering "anything else."

Sports occupy a lot of Karin's
interest. Her favorites are swim-
ming and riding, and just now she
is extremely disappointed that
Agnes Scott has no horses this
fall. She remarked, "Now I am
trying to find a stable somewhere
around where I can ride. I
thought you would have horses
here, and since you don't, I hope
I can find another stable."

Being a science major, Karin
spends quite a bit of her time
tucked away in labs. But when
she is not mixing reagents or dis-
secting what-ever-it-is-you-dissect
in biology, I'm sure she will con-
tribute a very great deal to our
campus. She is fun to know and
to be with, and we're among the
luckiest of schools to have her
with us.

thoroughly worth all my efforts.

Like her sister, Karin has trav-
eled almost all over the world.
But of all the countries she has
lived in, Karin prefers America.
"I definitely plan to stay in the
States," she says. "I simply love
it here." Switzerland, though,
where she was in school for a year,
is her "pet little place" and the
one she hopes to go back to for
a visit.

Right now, she is a junior here
at Agnes Scott, after having at-
tended Hunter college in New
York for two years. Her family,
she says, was in New York with
her for one of the years, but for
the other, the family was in
another part of the country. So
this is really the first time the
whole Thorbecke family has been
settled together in America.

Karin definitely names Agnes
Scott as one of her favorite places.
She says, "I stll have to get used
to the South, but I certainly like
Agnes Scott very much. The girls
are very wonderful and friendly
to me." Had Karin not told me,
I could not have known that she
is still "getting used to the South."
She never seems to have to get
used" to anything; with her spark-
ling energy and vivacity, she can
adapt herself equally well to

Blythe, Chief Assistant in '44,
Takes Over Paper Route, '48

By Dot Medlock (Carrier A-19 of '44)

Four years ago the newspaper "bug" bit one of the younger
members of Faculty Row. The first "bite" came one cold
December afternoon when the winds were blowing like mad;
the rain was having no mercy on poor newspaper carriers,
and, to top it off, Carrier A-19 was at home in bed with a
cold. Blythe Posey, chief assis-
tant "Atlanta Journal" carrier at
Agnes Scott, gallantly braved the
storm and got the news through
safely.

Ever since then, Dr. Posey's
very attractive brown-eyed daugh-
ter wanted a "Journal" route of
her own. And this year, as she
left grammar school for high
school, she took over Route A-19
from another faculty member's
daughter, Betsy Forman.

Blythe has done very well with
her new job, for she has 39 reg-
ular subscribers and 14 Sunday
Only's. All but about five of these
have already paid up for the quar-
ter! (Memories of twenty-five
and thirty unpaid bills in 1944
bring hearty congratulations to
Blythe from ex-Carrier A-19.)

Being a member of Decatur
Girls' High's new sub-freshman
class is keeping our "paper-girl"
busy in addition to her circulation
duties. Blythe has taken an ac-
tive interest in the Glee club and
the Y-Teen club. She has already
been elected to Student govern-
ment and serves on the Student
court. On the scholastic side, she
is taking math, English, social
studies, a form of home ec called
self-improvement, and physical
education. Incidentally, practice
for a part in Stunt night took up
almost every afternoon last week.)

Hobbies? Sports? Well, they
are just about the same, for Blythe
likes the big out-doors and the

sports that go with it. Tennis
seems to rate first, but she admits
that watching football games
takes about the same amount of
energy.

Traveling is another hobby of
Blythe's, as recent trips in Ten-
nessee to Camp Nakawana this
summer, and to New Orleans
where her fattier taught at Tulane,
well indicate. It seems that more
trips must be in the offing, for
Blythe intends to use her "paper"
money for a set of luggage.

Every carrier must have an as-
sistant, and Blythe was lucky to
get one close to home. So if 'the
temperature gets too cold, or an
extra hard test comes up at school,
Dr. Posey will have to work for his
paper a little bit harder.

Blythe hasn't made too many
plans for the future, except Agnes
Scott and a positive desire not
to be a teacher, because she "has
trouble remembering dates."

Campus Lauds
Parks' Drama,
'Friars 7 Acting

By Helen Edwards

Rebekah Lobby temporarily be-
came the living room of the
Roundtree home Thursday when
the senior members of Blackfriars,
assisted by players from Tech,
presented Nancy Parks' one act
play, "O Perfect Love."

As the play opened Mrs. Round-
tree was in a quandry making
preparations for the elaborate
wedding she was forcing on her
daughter in order to maintain
the Roundtree social position. It
was from this idea that the whole
action of the play developed. No
one wanted the wedding but the
mother, and finally the bride and
groom, the night before the wed-
ding persuaded Mr. Roundtree to
let them run away and marry,
leaving the mother distracted and
feeling sorry for herself and her
social position.

Olive Wilkinson gave an out-
standing portrayal of the distract-
ed bride-to-be. The carpenters,
played by Jimmy Biggs and Bill
Knight, added a bit of comedy to
the play. The other members of
the cast were Val Von Lehe, as
the mother; Shirley Simmons, her
friend; Jack Knight, the father;
and George Kirk, the fiance.

The play was attended by a
large number of students and fac-
ulty and the general comment
was that it was an excellent pro-
duction.

} Gaby Travels From Munich;
Becomes New Agnes Scoffer

By Casey Haff

Perhaps in the last couple of weeks you've noticed her,
a new face in a throng of new faces, a rosy, healthy-looking
face framed by short, wavy hair, and a face that is always
smiling. This particular face belongs to Gabriele Menzel,
who hails from Munich, Germany.
"Gaby"

is the ideal subject for
an interview. Evidently she has
been interviewed a few times pre-
viously because she answered
questions without being asked.

Gaby has been here . in the
States about three weeks. She
flew across to New York and was
there for three days before com-
ing to Atlanta.

In answer to the perennial ques-
tion: "How do you like Agnes
Scott?" Gaby replied emphatical-
ly, "Love it!" One of the reasons
that she likes Agnes Scott so well
is that "there are so few restric-
tions here." She said she thought
that New York was wonderful
and that the United States was
just what she d expected, because
her mother was here in 1938 and
loved it, too.

Gaby has a sister who is a junior
in college in Missouri. Gaby her-
self is a special student here, and
among her subjects she likes
American history and music.

She hopes to work in the dip-
lomatic service someday when
school is over. This interest in
law and government probably
stems from the fact that her fath-
er and grandfather were both law-
yers.

For the information of any poor,
struggling students of German, or
anyone who would like to get to
know Gaby, she lives in Decatur,
but can be found almost any even-
ing on second Main.

Seniors Beat Sophomores 3-0,
Juniors Overcome Frosh 6-7

By Charlotte Key

Underdogs gave the upperclassmen some mighty uncom-
fortable moments at Friday hockey garnet, but the seniors
beat the sophomores 3-0 and the juniors topped the frosh
6-1.

The seniors began the afternoon by charging down the
field toward the sophomore goal

only to find a solid wall of defense
blocking them. After several
minutes of hard playing by both
teams, Reece Newton found a
hole and shoved the ball into the
goal.

The rest of the half was" marked
by many futile attempts of both
teams to score. In the second
half, the seniors showed their well-
known superiority in hockey by
paving the way for two goals by
Bunny Brannan.

Frosh Improve

The second game showed the
great strides the freshmen have
made toward becoming a fast,
hard-fighting team. Time and
again the juniors tried to score,
but there was the frosh goalie
Carolyn Wettstein; and she just
wouldn't let those balls go through.

Nor did the frosh have an easy
time at the junior goal with an
Isabel Truslow dashing around.
Both teams did manage to catch
the defense offguard, though, and
the final score read: juniors-6,
freshmen-1. Congrats to the
freshmen for showing that old
goal line a thing or two so early
in the season.

Player Sprains Wrist

The games themselves weren't
the only exciting thing. We had
another "casualty." Mary Louise
Warlick suffered a sprained wrist.

The cold weather kept the fac-
ulty away, but we do thank Posey,
Stukes, and Omwake for their

Play by

By Margaret Brewer

If tall trees rrom little acorns
grow, there'll be a forest before
long on the survivors of the non-
fittest of tennis courts those be-
hind the hockey field. Now, mind
you, we're not bitter about the
scrumptious 200,000-dollar infirm-
ary confiscating the two best ten-
nis courts on campus and in the
immediate vicinity.

In fact we are honored to have
the site considered nice enough
for the new building, but it is rath-
er disconcerting to pull one foot
out of a quick-sand-like mudhole
only to stump your third corn from
the left on a sand dune worthy of
the Sahara desert, and then sud-
denly being banged by a low
branch of a gnarled oak tree af-
ter attempting to reach and re-
turn your partner's serve.

Tennis is one of the most pop-
ular sports on campus, but it
wouldn't be surprising if before
long balls and rackets and nimble
figures are stored away, and the
old tennis courts left to the mud-
holes, sand dunes, acorns and tree
limbs. Already tennis lovers are
contemplating journeying into At-

lanta for practice and games.

So pretty PLEASE, with sugar
on it, couldn't somebody PLEASE
get those obstacle course tennis
courts into working condition for
us? We don't have $200,000, but
who knows, there might be a big
fat donation some day from a sec-
ond Alice Marble a la Agnes
Scott.

One place free from the tena-
cious tenacles of trees and their
offspring, mudholes and sand
dunes, is the miniature Davy
Jones locker in the gym. With
a new instructior, new members
and new routines, the swimming
club will present its first meet
this year on November 10. This
time competition will be on in-
dividual class basis, instead of the
sister class plan used previously.
There will be form exhibitions,
racing, diving and comedy on
Neptune's program. The racing
events will be timed, and indi-
vidual records will be posted on
the bulletin board for future com-
parisons. (

Not that anyone has to be urged
to come, we won't twist your arm
this time, but just a reminder
that attendance will count toward
the class spirit cup.

Swimming Club Elects 9

They are June Davis, Lyd Gard-
ner, Jessie Carpenter, Fritz Hale,

der, Carolyn Lee, Mim Steele and
Wilton Rice.

Who's Who

Wilton Rice
Hockey Star

Versatile and vivacious Wilton
Rice is a natural for the role of
hockey manager in the Agnes
Scott sport's world, having grown
up in the land of hockey champs
Richmond, Va.

She began pushing the puck
around on class teams and the
sub-varsity at St. Catherine's
school in Richmond where all stu-
dents are required to take hockey.
Wilton points with pride to the
fact that of the nine women on
the United States hpekey team,
five are from Richmond, and three
of these five from St. Catherine's.

But our Richmond sportswoman
will never fall into a hockey rut.
She is also fond of tennis, swim-
ming and rifling. During sum-
mers she's an instructor in rifling
at Camp Rockbrook in Brevard,
N. C.

So if you see a stick, ball and
a pair of flying feet streaking
down the hockey field, you can bet
your last bottom dollar it's the
Richmond lass with that hockey
"class."

Sport Scope

How good a hockey player or
fan are you? See how many of
the following questions you can
answer:

1. Is stopping the ball with your
hand a foul?

2. How far away must all other
players be from a girl taking a
free shot?

3. In attacking, the senior for-
ward passes the ball to forward
ahead. The referee blows the
whistle. What could be wrong?

A Debt Unpaid

The greatest show on campus is now under way.

Students wander around muttering class songs with Black
Cat vigor. Mortar Board members peer from under foot-
ball helmets. The faculty is breaking tradition and setting
aside dignity for a faculty skit, one year early, while Dr.
McCain practices punting at odd moments. All the brain
trusts, wits, and energy of Agnes Scott is assembled for one
great effort, the campaign.

Not since the last campus campaign have we seen such a
spectacle, the total power of Agnes Scott in motion. And the
only charge for this panorama is $20,000. That's ridiculous. Yes,
ridiculously inexpensive. Last time the campus paid twice
that amount. Everyone realizes that since inflation most
allowances will not cover such a charge, but with a little
ingenuity and dieting throughout the next year we should be
able to raise enough to top the goal.

Agnes Scott gives continually to each of use. Periodically,
not as often as once a college life-time, she asks for help.
Agnes Scott has given or will give us individually more
than any raise in tuition or 20,000-dollar charge can pay
for. So start knitting for profit, or collecting bugs for bi-
ologists. Walking to Atlanta we've heard is healthful, and
babies still need to be sat with. Use your imagination, but
make an honest effort to give as much time, energy and
especially money to the campaign. We owe much more than
$20,000.

Paper Sack Paths
To Progress

No one can say that Agnes Scott isn't keeping up with
the progress which has been made recently in the addition
of new courses to the college curriculum. In fact, it can now
be revealed that the college is equipped to prepare its stu-
dents for a new vocation that of street cleaner.

The laboratory facilities for this new course have been
placed in the day student room in Main where there is
enough trash to gladden the hearts of even the most efficient
students of the trade.

It is obvious that classes in garbage collection have not yet
started, although those in the strategic distribution of trash
have been under way for some time. A director in charge
of orange peels and grapeskins has been imported at consider-
able expense, from the day student room in Buttrick.

However, directors of the departments of paper sacks and
bread crusts have not yet been named. It is hoped that the
new courses will open up different fields of endeavor and
make efficient street cleaners of us all.

Cunning Lambs

Jabber Wacky

By Gretta Moll

(Guest Columnist)

The first serious problem requiring immediate action that
we (10 very new juniors and one "very best" housemother)
encountered at Cunningham was how to answer the telephone
if it should ring.

A council was held at once
We decided that "Glamour manor"
was certainly not suited to us and
finally hit upon "Cunning Honeys."
When the telephone did ring very
shortly afterwards, we assure you
the matter of fact voice of a
faculty member brought us back
to reality with, "Yes, I know, but
who is it? Thus it is, that those
people who call extension 74 to-
day, receive the straightforward,
clear and definite answer: Cun-
ningham.

Campus Contacts

Cunningham is a constant joy
to all its "honeys." Even though
our tennis courts have been moved
somewhat farther back in our back
yard, fortune is still with us. Not
every Hottentot has our feeling
of security as we open our door
and literally fall into the infir-
mary.

Even though we have no bells,
our contact with the campus is
not broken; the neighboring con-
struction project is an ever pres-
ent reminder that there are things
going on and serves even better
as an alarm clock. That long hike
to breakfast and classes that all
of us were warned about, seems
a blessing to some of us. Those
of us who are so radical as to
want to keep slim and trim by
missing breakfast find it easy to
do. And the walk itself, that so
often turns into a run. provides
that necessary daily exercise.
Homely Hospitality

.A home atmosphere is present
everywhere. Like all efficient
housekeepers, we worry and fret
over French doors and windows,
closet space, color combinations
and kitchen ware. Frequent
knocks on the front door awaken
our warm southern hospitality.
And it really is a pleasure to bring

and definite steps were taken.

in aunts or Atlanta family friends
and entertain them in our living
room.

The Fuller brush man, however,
was told that he had lost a cus-
tomer and that Cunningham was
no longer on his route. The
church canvasser was told that if
he wanted to speak to us he would
have to go over to Main and have
us called. He retreated with a
straight face. However, the wel-
coming front door perhaps will re-
quire our setting up of a displaced
persons bureau. One unknowing
friend (interest is added: that
friend was male) called for one of
the girls at Cunningham's front
door. By direct action of all par-
ties involved he was immediately
correctly placed in Main.

House Customs

Not only have we set up house-
keeping, but we feel ourselves
to be a direct part of our neigh-
borhood. One sunshiny day we
joined our neighbors across the
street and sat on our front porch
to watch the county fair go by.
The frequent, friendly nods and
good-afternoons of people just a
few doors down seem to polish off
our "good neighbor policy."

In spite of all our housewifely
duties and social requirements as
hostesses, the Cunning Honey Hive
keeps the many customs and tra-
ditions that all good dorms should.
There are the midnight sings and
feasts that always end up as bull
sessions. There are the discus-
sions in the middle of the hall on
Saturday night after all have re-
turned home safely. Invariably
two of the honeys fall asleep and
there they stay, people carefully
stepping over themi until the
third roommate commits the crime
of waking them.

pricely

He suggested as best a front page

If he thinks we need publicity

And then there are the quiet

minutes. Every night those (two,
to be exact) who burn the mid-

convince each other that those
dreadful noises are only acorns
falling or the wind blowing the
bushes against the front windows.
Frequently days pass when even
roommates scarcely see each other
and the greetings are always said
on the run. The cross words and
hurt feelings go as quickly as they
come. In fact, we feel like a

Campus Slips

Mr. Stukes, in his social pshch
class was explaining the effect
that certain slogans or ingredients
quoted in advertisements have on
the people who blindly buy these
products.

"Take for example this well
known toothpaste. All the ads
say that it contains this magic in-
gredient that completely removes
all surface stains from the teeth
but more than likely it would re-
move your teeth in the process,"
he added.

And Dot Porter is looking for-
ward to her Arabian "Knight."

Answers to Sports Scope

1. Stopping the ball with your
hand is not a foul providing you
don't forget yourself and go in-
to a football run for the goal.
Quito often in penalty corners,
center forwards will stop the ball
with their hands while another
player steps up and shoots for
the goal.

2. All players must be five feet
from a girl taking a free shot.

3. The receiving forward could
be offsides. Any forward ahead
of the ball is offsides.

green plaid bedspreads and yellow
rugs. Matching, green chintz
draperies grace the windows, while
white dresser scarves add that fin-

McCain to Punt for Goal
At Quadrangle Kick-Off

By Lee Cousar

"Dr. McCain is moving up under the ball, and it's a beau-
tiful punt, going far down the field!": so will proclaim the
voice over the loudspeaker at the Campus Campaign Kick-
off on Monday, at the chapel hour.

The kickoff will take place on the quadrangle, and the ball
will be received by the class that a
committee of judges felt had the
best spirit and decorations at the
luncheon on Oct. 28. This kickoff
will have all the excitement of a
Rose Bowl game, with our newly-
discovered band performing and
with cheerleaders leading the yells
and songs of the classes. There
will eVen be an illustrious water
boy to boost the players' spirits.

Line Up

Campaign chairman Henry A.
Robinson will hold the ball in po-
sition for Dr. McCain to punt. Re-
ceiving for the classes on the
field will be Butch Hays for the
seniors, Todd McCain for the jun-
iors, Dodo Martin for the sopho-
mores, and Jane tlill for the
freshmen. Representing the facul-
ty on the field will be George P.
Hayes.

This event will mark the begin-
ning of four days of intense com-
petition as the classes strive to
outdo each other in spirit, number
of contributors, and contributions
in the race for the $20,000. As
announced in the faculty skit,
a holiday will be given if we reach
or surpass our goal. The date for
this holiday will be set by the
student body.

Pledging Begins

At 8:15 Monday morning soli-
citors will obtain the pledge
blanks. Students may then get
blanks from their solicitors, fill
them out, and return them to the
solicitors in sealed envelopes.
Everyone is urged to pledge as
quickly as possible in order to
help their class win the $1000
given to the class first getting
100 per cent subscribers. Organ-
izations, too, are asked to get

kickoff, will have all the glamour
and thrill of a big game. Marie
Cuthbertson is in charge of pre-
parations.

Library Exhibitions
Offer Sidelines
On Varied Activities

Miss Edna Ruth Hanley, the
library staff, and various student
organizations are responsible for
the unique displays which attract
students and give them interest-
ing side-lines on activities on and
off campus.

Next week's exhibit will involve
several activities of current inter-
est, the football theme of the
campaign will be attracting at-
tention in addition to many in-
teresting facts about Vincent
Sheean. A timely display of books
will explain the significance of
the academic robes which will be
worn in the academic procession
during Investiture.

During the year there will be
presentations of the various pub-
lications of Agnes Scott. This dis-
play will include a copy of the
"Agonistic" the old college news-
paper, and literary magazines,

CotilHon Capers

Gals About

By Billie Powell

Something new in dances was given us by the Cotillion
formal for the freshmen. We tried the couple-break system
and liked it! It was fun because everyone was able to dance

with whomever she wished,
greatly impressed by it all.
"Gee, this is swell! I think you
all should do this every quarter."
Here's hoping you frosh had as
marvellous a time as you looked
like you were having.

Seniors Sink Juniors 2-0,
Frosh Bow To Sophs 3-1

By Charlotte Key

Friday's fast and furious games might well have been
called the "old ladies' " and the "y un g ladies' " games, not
in matter of sprightliness but in age, for the freshmen vied
with the sophomores, and the juniors waged a losing battle
against the seniors. The final scores read, seniors 2, juniors 0
and sophs 3, freshmen 1. N *

Fast Game

To watch the first part of the
old ladies' game was as hard as
trying to watch a fast tennis
I match. The ball kept going from
one end of the field to the other,
and still no one scored until Betty
Blackmon got her stick on* the
ball and scored.

For the remaining part of the
first half, the ball stayed near the
senior goal, but the juniors
couldn't get it across. In the sec-
ond half, the seniors got busy
again and steered the ball down
the field so Bunny Brannon could
make a goal.

The young ladies' game, loyally
supported by two rough-and-
l^eady cheering sections, started
off with a bang toward the sopho-
more goal instigated and propelled
by the freshman forward line. The
soph defense soon stopped the ad-
vance and sent the ball in the op-
posite direction.

Ball Runs Wild

In the first half, the sophs
chalked up three goals, one by
Punky Chard and two by Liz Rag-
land. The second half resembled
the other game in that the ball,
aided by a few gentle taps of va-
rious hockey sticks, refused to
stay within a reasonably small
area. No sooner would it get to
one end of the field than it would
go back to the other. In one of the
trips to sophomore goal, Joanne
Roberts scored the only goal
for the freshmen.

Those playing Friday were:

Seniors Reece Newton, Sid
Cummings, Betty Blackmon, Bun-
ny Brannon, Julianne Cook, Mary
Price, Bobbie Cathcart, June
Davis, Ann Hayes, Doris 'Sulli-

Play by Play

By Margaret Brewer

Let the rambling wrecks wrangle and the bulldogs bark, Agnes
Scott has surpassed them all in the most thrilling game of the
season! Listen ye sports world and you shall hear, a tale of the
Greenback game held here.

Call to Colors

Onward, onward, onward pushed the gold and whites, red and
whites, black and golds, and blue and whites until they numbered 500
strong on the basketball court-converted-to-football-field. Repre-
sentative banners from all over the country jammed the bleachers
it was the greatest turnout in history!

The officials took their places behind the furthermost goal post,
and at 12:30 p. m. on the dot, with a mighty roar, the game began.

There was no danger of a tie-up while someone tracked down a
delinquent pigskin, for footballs of every imaginable color were hang-
ing in the air, just waiting to be called into play. A few 7 got so
impatient as to pop! And, for additional security, golden chrysan-
themums laced with vivid green leaves were made in the shape of
footballs. Extra goal posts were on hand too, in a variety of fall
colors.

Blue Skies

It % was fine football weather! Purplish and white clouds smiled
down on the determined players.

During the quarter the band at the side of the field struck up, and
a prancing majorette batoned to the football tunes of fellow col-
leges.

Then the cheerleaders went wild! They sang, they clapped, they
cheered their Alma Mater on to victory. Money as well as confetti
was tossed into the air!

Invisible Opposition

But what about the opposing team? not a sound did it make! It
just put up an invisible, but not impenetrable wall before the goal.

The game continued. It began to be a real struggle, then a mighty
struggle, then the spectators had to leave, and still the game raged
on. 'The outcome has yet to be determined, but one thing sure, the
total proceeds from the game will amount to $20,000 or more. That's
how we "play football'' at Agnes Scott!

4 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wed., Nov. 3, 1948

Award Winner
Lists Books;
Lauds Contest

"Entering the McKinney Book
Award contest opened for me a
new field of interest in books,"
Hunt Morris, 1948 winner, said in
an interview this week.

"I entered the contest because
I had had most of my books given
to me and I wanted the exper-
ience of choosing my own," she
explained, adding that enjoying
reading of course was a major pre-
requisite.

Modern Interests

Collecting, Hunt continued,
taught her to evaluate books more
carefully not only for their con-
tents but for their value as pos-
sible rare manuscripts. Her entry
consisted of 22 books, most of
them by modern authors, and she
says from these she has develop-
ed an interest in other modern
authors and books. She spent her
25-dollar prize for some of these
books.

Hunt says she recommends the
contest as a worthwhile exper-
ience for booklovers. "Although I
was nervous before I went to the
committee," Hunt admitted, "the
discussion was so informal that I
found it brought out and mater-
ialized in my mind facts about the
books which might have escaped
me."

Prize Books

Her prize winning collection in-
cluded "Essays in Criticism," by
Matthew Arnold, "Bibelot" vol-
umes 1, 10, and 13 edited by
Thomas Mosher, "Conversations
with an Unrepentant Liberal" by
Bixler ,and "Das Deutchland" by
Buch. She has both "Irish Fairy
and Folk Tales" and "Collected
Poems" by Wiliam Butler Yeats.
Among the other books of poetry
were John Milton's. "Poems,"
Marybeth Little's - "Underside of
Leaves," C. G. Osgood's "Poetry
as a Means of Grace," "Poetry"
by R i 1 k e , and Shakespeare's
"Othello."

The rest of the collection ranges
from Shaw's "Nine Plays" to
"Murder in the Cathedral" by T.
S. Eliot, including "Passage to
India" by Forster, "Tales and
Novels" by La Fontaine, "Arrow-
smith," by Sinclair Lewis,
"Stories" by Katherine Mans-
field, Katherine Porter's "Flower-
ing Judas and Other Stories,"
Thomas Wolfe's "The Hills Be-
yond," Virginia Woolf's "To the
Lighthouse," "Short Stories" by
Anton Tcheklov, and "When the
Mountain Fell" by C. F. Ramuz.

Far From The Reach

By Jane Efurd

The most important news in the nation last week was
concern and confusion over the possible election outcome.
Both Truman and Dewey had predicted victory throughout
the country, and in Georgia the Thurmond forces also claimed
a majority for their electors. Much more besides the presi-
dency was at issue. Also to be

elected were 32 Senators, 32 Gov-
ernors, and 432 Representatives.
Yesterday's election decided the
outcome.

In the United Nations Russia
vetoed the small power proposal
for a compromise ending of the
Berlin deadlock. Discussion of
nearly all important issues ceased
as delegates waited to learn who
the next president of the United
States will be.

Clay Reports

Home from his headquarters in
Germany, General Lucius Clay
made his first direct report to the
U. S. people on the Battle for Ber-
lin. He was confident that the
airlift supplying that city would
continue to be successful. He em-
phasized that the airlift could be
operated until "there is a stability
in Europe which assures peace."

The Economic Co-operation Ad-
ministration announced that it
will make no new Marshall plan
grants until the European coun-
tries in question have signed loan
agreements. Britain and Iceland
are the only countries which have
signed the necessary agreements.
E. C. A. Cuts Loan

Negotiations have been in pro-
gress for months with France,
Italy, Denmark, Norway, Sweden,
Belgium, Ireland, the Nether-
lands, and Turkey. These coun-

tries will no longer be eligible
for recovery aid after the existing
grants have been exhausted. Au-
tria, Greece, Trieste, and the Al-
lied zones of Germany are exempt-
ed from the cut-off order, because
their economic condition is such
that ECA is not requiring them
to sign for loans.

From China came the news
that the ECA there is doing all
right, but that the $275 million
which Congress had appropriated
to last until April 2 would not be
enough. China's economic situa-
tion is so desperate that more
money and more time will be re-
quired to brighten her future.
Reds Choke China
Of more concern to China her-
self was her military future, upon
which everything else depended.
Communist forces had overrun al-
most all of northeast China and
were placing a choking grip upon
the rest of the country.

Later in the week the Reds
were reported by unofficial sour-
ces to have captured Mukden, the
largest city in Manchuria. The
fall of this city to the Chinese
Communists would mean loss by
the government of practically all
of Manchuria. Red control of
Manchuria would speed up the
Communist operation for control
of North China.

Jabber Wacky

By Lee Cousar

Sororities may be banned at Agnes Scott, but no one can
forbid a natural convening of true minds. Exemplary of this
was a meeting recently held on campus, at which meeting
there was drawn up "The Constitution of the Honors club
of Agnes Scott College".

C. A. Halo

Something new has been add-
ed, Soph-C. A. tion. This sensa-
tional new name for what used to
be called Soph Cabinet was dis-
closed last week by Ellen Hull,
president, at a picnic at Harrison
Hut, which from all reports was
a very enjoyable occasion.

The World Leadership Training
Series was concluded Monday with
a very helpful program led by
Paul Garber, professor of Bible,
on the subject of correlation and
integration of material for a wor-
ship service.

Sunday night Martha Stowell
conducted a very interesting Ves-
per service, which explained to
us the meaning of All Saints Day

In this constitution there are
four articles. Under Article I
there are five sections dealing with
the name, object, flower, emblem,
and motto:

Sect. 1. The name of this or-
ganization shall be the Honors
club or "Don't Let It Happen To
You."

Sect. 2. The object of this club
shall be to promote the pursuit of
intellectual attainment without
succumbing to nervous prostra-
tion common in such cases.

Sect. 3. The flower of this club
shall be the forget-me-not, as if
anyone could.

Sect. 4. The emblem of this
club shall be an uncapped fountain
pen and a pair of glasses crossed
on a background of 4x6 note cards.

Sect. 5. The motto of this club
shall be "Dontia Givum Uppae
the Shippa."

Article II deals with the very
important matter of membership.
Under this article there are four
sections:

Sect. 1. The membership of this
chapter shall be limited to those
who make the library their pri-
mary place of residence, i. e.
those souls for whom Miss Hanley
has named a carrel with her bless-
ing.

Sect. 2. The eligibility require-

ment shall be only that the candi-
dates shall have shown a marked
interest in the finer things of life
by devoting one Saturday after-
noon completely to intellectual
pursuits in the library.

Sect. 3. The initiation fee shall
be one candy bar and one box of
aspirin per member.

Sect. 4. The charter members
of this club shall be "Horatio"
Geffcken, "T. S." Price, "Monroe"
Johnson, and "Euclid" Winches-
ter.

In the next article, the learned
ones take up the subject of meet-
ings:

Sect. 1. Daily meetings shall be
held out of the stack windows.

Sect. 2. Monthly meetings shall
be held at which time the subject
of each person's honors reading
will be discussed by someone else.

The last article discusses the
aims, or projects of this club:

Sect. 1. The main projects of
this club shall be to provide a
pencil sharpener, water fountain
and coke machine (and other ne-
cessities) on each level of the
stacks.

Sect. 2. A secondary project
shall be the abolition of all hon-
ors banquets, honors conferences,
honors theses, and honors exam-
inations.

Cornelia Otis Skinner Moves
Audience to Laughter, Tears

By Dot Medlock

Cornelia Otis Skinner brought her monologues right into
the hearts of everyone in Presser Hall Monday night when
she appeared under the auspices of the Decatur Junior Serv-
ice League. Charming her audience from the moment she
walked onto the stage, she molded them into laughter or
tears with equal finesse.

Miss Skinner opened her perfor-
mance with a description of the
trials of a rich American woman
in a Paris hotel.

Her next monologue was a very
realistic conversation of an old
woman on the hotel porch of a
New England summer resort. In
contrast, during her third selec-
tion, she lived the part of a
mother telling her son the facts

Star McCain Kicks Off to Winning Class

Lame Greenies
Return to AS
After Defeats

Today for the eighth time the
undefeated Purple and White
team of Agnes Scott College in
Decatur, Georgia is facing their
formidable opponents, the Green-
backs. In the seven previous con-
tests, the Agnes Scott team has
not only defeated the rival 11,
but has overshot the scores pre-
dicted for them.

The first meeting of these two
teams occurred in 1921, when the
General education board of New
York offered the college two
grants for a -total of $275,00 on
the condition that the college
raise $475,00. In this debut of the
Purple and Whites, a goal of
$22,00 was set for the campus, and
under the leadership of Miss
Anna Young, who for 20 years had
been professor of mathmatics, a
total of $30,000 was pledged.
From this thrilling victory came
our Alumnae House.

Three years later the team met
again, shortly after the coming
of the new president, Dr. J. R.
McCain. The proceeds of this
game $123,000 went to build
our gymnasium. However, since
this amount would not provide
for a swimming pool, another
game was played on campus that
year, which resulted in $28,000
and a new swimming pool.

In 1929, the college won its
biggest victory over the Green-
backs. Again the General educa-
tion board made an offer this
time, of $500,000 on condition that
we raise $1,000,000. Under the
leadership of Miss Llewellyn Wil-
burn, the campus not only sur-
passed their goal of . $40,000, but
doubled it with a final total of
$81,000. This contest resulted in
the removal of the steam plant
and laundry from the site where
they then were where Buttrick
hall now stands to the present
site.

The next time the teams met
was during a serious depression
in 1930. The Agnes Scott team,
however, was still unconquerable.
With a goal of $20,000 the college
family raised over $30,000 again
under the leadership of Miss Wil-
burn. It is because of this cam-

Flash! As speculation runs wild over the receiver of the
kickoff, here are the latest reports on the Greenback Goal
Bowl game being played at Agnes Scott college this week.

Straight from the quadrangle's dugouts comes the tip that
the college's star player, Halfback McCain, is in fine shape
after undergoing strenuous prac- ^ T /

Not one to be frightened or

outdone, Todd McCain, who has
the advantage of having a great
foojball player in the family, is
planning action the likes of which
has never been seen before. Not
even the Atomic bomb was work-
ed on with such minute care and
absolute secrecy!

Dodo Martin makes no bones
about what she believes will be
the outcome of the game. She's
sure her team is going to be the
one to take that old pigskin
across for a goal. Coach Martin
boasts that there aren't any sub-
stitutes on the soph team they
don't have such things as bench

tice to be sure the kickoff ball
will sail blissfully over the goal
post Monday morning.

In an exclusive interview, Star
McCain revealed that he feels
confident we'll lick those insolent
silent, provocative Greenbacks
long before the finish. He pre-
dicts the final score will be 25
to 30 per cent over the expected
figure, if records from previous
games mean anything. Sportsman
McCain praised the enthusiastic
support given by the faculty and
students so far, and knows, they'll
keep up the good work.

Fullback Hayes, attired in full
football regalia has been diligent-
ly practicing his position as pig-
skin catcher for the faculty. But
he's headed for oppsition from
his own teammates, for Butch
Hays, Todd McCain, Dodo Mar-
tin and Jane Hill are all deter-
mined to receive that kickoff bal]
and make a touchdown for thei:
own class. But Co-star Hayes said
let 'em come, he's ready, nrt.
either way, we'll win ar* over-
whelming victory.

In answer, Butch Hays warns
that the seniors are sizzling to
get that ball into play. Secret
formations and strategy never be-
fore used in footballdom will be
performed with such perfect pre-
cision that a touchdown is inevi-
table in the first few minutes of
the game.

Loyalty to Win Campaign

It is traditional at Agnes Scott that every members of the
faculty and all students, whether class members or specials,
contribute to the college campaigns. Many of the other em-
ployees, white and colored, have wanted to share in the
efforts. Giving has nearly always involved sacrifices, but
we believe that each will want this time to have a part.

No one can tell another what he ought to do, and there is
never any compulsion or embarrassment for any member of
the community. The individual contributions are confiden-
tial unless the donors wish them to be public. We believe
that our great opportunity and our common loyalty to Agnes
Scott will be sufficient to win in this as in other campaigns.

We have had individual student gifts as high as $2,000 and
parent gifts as high as $15,000. We have had much smaller
ones which carried whole-hearted love and devotion. This
time we will need to think in as large terms as possible, for
our time is short and our conditional offer is very large and
much needed.

A new feature in campus campaigns is the offer of four
gifts of $1,000 each to be given through the student teams
for promptness, efficiency, and generosity; but our success
will depend more on individuals than on groups, however
fine these may be.

In most campaigns the faculty and officers have given
about half of the campus goal, and student gifts have made
up the balance and gone far beyond. We cannot /tell how
this will be in the current effort. For all, the real question

paign that we have Buttrick hall.

In 1935, with a campus goal of
$15,000, the college, in spite of
hard times, raised a total of $24,-
741. This campaign was under the
direction of Philip Davidson of
the history department, and as a
result of the campaign our library
was constructed.

Our last campaign, in 1939, was
a part of the campaign waged by
Emory and Agnes Scott to pro-
vide for the University Center
program. Agnes Scott was to
raise $1,000,000 in order to re- .

ceive $500,000. The campus drive 1S > What 1S m y own P art in thi s great cause?"; and we are
was again led by Mr. Davidson, sure that loyal answers will provide what we must have.
This time the objective was $40,-
000 and the Agnes Scott team
came through with $52,202.

Holiday, 'New Look Faculty'
To Come With AS Victory

From authorities who predicted a Truman victory the News
brings you forecasts of the outcome and future significance
of the great Purple and White vs. Greenback game lining up
on the field right now.

After careful consideration of past conflicts and minute

analysis of the strengthof the chal-
lenging Purples and the Defending

Greenies, our reliable authorities
unanimously predict a victory of
at least 20,000 to 0 for the Purple
and White. Odds above this num-
ber they would not venture to es-
timate, but they hinted that a
much larger score might easily
be piled up by the powerful Agnes
Scott team.

The influence of this victory
upon the campus is expected to
be tremendous. The immediate
effect will be bedlam. Students
will debate, faculty confer, but
eventually out of the chaotic mer-
riment will arise a HOLIDAY, a
holiday of the college, by the
college and for the college. If
the Purple and White doubles the
score of the conservative predic-
tions of our experts, Agnes Scott
will declare a two-day holiday.
These forecasts came directly from
the J. R. McCain office and can
not be considered just idle rumor.

On the lasting results of this
sports classic, authorities have hit
an optimistic note. They foresee
in the future, professors walking
around Agnes Scott with the New
Look. They might even go to
the movies, take vacations, or
eat occasionally. In predicting
such changes our sports oracles
base their judgment on the hopes
of Star McCain that the gate re-
ceipts will be put into an endow-
ment fund to raise professors sal-
aries.

A few sports speculators sug-
gest that the game may effect the
project now in progress to reno-
vate Rebekah, the dorm which
makes all alumnae feel at home.
Others expect that the Science hall
project may be influenced.

Should our infalible experts
prove wrong as to the out come
of the game, the overwhelming
effect of an Agnes Scott defeat
will result in a mass migration to
the stirring cry:
"We're going to Siberia!"

Thank you so much,
J. R. McCain

MANY THANKS!

For 59 years Agnes Scott has had experience in raising money with its
8, 627 students in the leading place of every movement. In each case the
faculty have worked hand in hand with students and with trustees.

Never have we had more real genius, hard work, enthusiasm and per-
sistence than in this fight with the Greenback Team. The co-operation
and planning have been wonderful. It will take more work, more persis-
tence, and a lot of sacrifice to reach our goal, but we are confident of vic-
tory!

We are grateful to all our college family.

SG Announces
Four Increases
In '48 Budget

The Agnes Scott budget com-
mittee, consisting of the treas-
urers of all organizations receiv-
ing money from the student treas-
ury, has met and allotted funds
according to the needs of each or-
ganization.

The budget adopted for the first
half of the year, was drawn up
on a basis of last year's percen-
tages, but several changes were
made. The News and May Day
decreased one per cent because
of a surplus of funds from last
year. Christian association re-
linquished their customary one-
half per cent to Glee club to buy
music for Christian association
chapels.

Blackfriars had a small sur-
plus of funds and gave one-half
per cent to Pi Alpha Phi to help
with their extended activities.
Since Aurora will publish only
two issues this year, it decreased
one-half per cent. Athletic asso-
ciation will arrange its budget ac-
cordingly.

Because of increased printing
costs, both Handbook and Student
government increased one and a
half per cent.

The budget for the last half of
the year will be drawn up by
the committee in January.

Tomorrow will mark the end of the four days of vigorous
soliciting, climaxing the campus drive for $20,000. In chapel,
final pledges will be totaled, and the $1000 prizes will be
awarded to the winning classes.

Last Monday at a kickoff rivaling that at a Tech-Georgia
game, Halfback McCain punted

the ball down the quadrangle
field, signifying the beginning of
the actual pledging. As a result
of the class spirit demonstration
by the seniors at the luncheon on
October 28, Yellow Jacket Hays,
number '49, was on the receiving
end of the ball.

picked up the kickoff before junior

Hayes could lay hands on it.

Dr. Overton, Psychologist,
To Begin Lectures Sunday

Dr. Grace Sloan Overton, na-
tionally famous child psychologist
and lecturer on the successful
marriage and good family living,
returns to the Agnes Scott cam-
pus Sunday through Wednesday.
She will speak to the different
classes, lead discussion groups,
and have individual conferences
with those so desiring.

The author of many books on
the problems of youth and family
life, Dr. Overton has done out-
standing work for various char-
acter building, educational, re-
ligious, and civic organizations.
For twelve years she was a pro-
fessor of public speech and drama
at the Missouri Wesleyan college
and the Chicago training school.

Dr. Overton has been a mem-
ber of the extension faculty of
Columbia university and of the
summer faculty of New York uni-
veristy. She is a former executive
secretary of the Youth Division of
Greater New York Federation of
Churches. To complete this ex-
tensive background, Dr. Overton
is a grandmother herself and
"speaks from experience."

Dr. Overton is visiting us be-
fore participating in the program
of the Georgia Citizens confer-

ence which will be held in Atlanta
during this week.

Tentative plans are to have Dr.
Overton speak before a combined
meeting of the freshman and
sophomore classes during Monday
chapel and to be speaker for the
C. A. chapel on Tuesday.

Discussion groups will be ar-
ranged for all classes and she
will also meet with the day stu-
dents since it is impossible for
them to be here at night. Appoint-
ments for individual and group
conferences may be made through
the Dean of Students' office.

Gals About

By Betty Beddingfield

Aggie really had a swell time this week-end. From the
smoke-filled nooks and corners of the Tech homecoming
dance to the campuses of Davidson, Chapel Hill, and just
everywhere Aggie made her appearance. Most of the Seniors
were lucky this week-end having their families and friends
here for Investiture.

Aggie danced to her heart's
content at the ATO-Phi Delt
dance Friday night. Nancy Den-
dy, Miff Martin, Jane Hill, Marcia
O'Ferrall, Bobbye Jones, Betty Hol-
land, Dottie Allison, Nancy Huey,
Carolyn Camp, Susan Hancock,
Annelle Simpson, Marg Hunt, B. J.
Sauer, Hansen Partridge, Sharon
Smith. Adele Lee, Margaret
Glenn, Ida Pennington, Dot Med-
lock, Jane Oliver, Jessie Carpen-
ter all said they had a wonderful
time.

Tears For Tech

The Tennessee-Tech game was
lots of fun even if Aggie came
away with tears in her eyes.
Those lucky people who got to see
the game were Dot Allison, Sally
Ellis, "Easy" Beale, Virginia Ar-
nold, Annelle Simpson, "Pinky"
Pettit, Betty Finney, Katherine
McKoy, Robbie Robinson, Lynn
Phillips, Susan Bowling, and Mar-
gie Orr, Joan Willmon, Louise
Harant, Dorothy Rollins, Mildred
Broyles, Marijean Alexander, Sa-
rah Hancock, Nelda Brantley, Jo-
sephine Kane, Frances Smith, Em-
ily Pope, Margie Major,
D. D u r d e n, Jean Osborn,
Ruth Vineyard, Louise Sanford,
Gene Wilson, Betty Williams,
Anna De Vault, and Marie Woods.

Auld Lang Syne

Aggie saw some of her old
friends this week-end. Pris
Hatch, El Compton, and Kather-
ine Davis were visiting here. Jes-
sie Hodges had a visitor from
Winthrop. Joan Plaster's Harvey
came down from Tennessee. Sid-
ney Cummings' grandmother is
here for a week. And if you don't
believe Tom was here just look at
that glow in Robbie Robinson's
eyes.

And speaking of glows, have you
seen Sally Ellis since she got that
DKE pin? And what about Val
von Lehe being the new KA spon-
sor and Bess Lundeen the new
Chi Phi sponsor.

Off Again

Sylvia Moutos went to the Uni-
versity of Georgia. Charity Ben-
nett, Patty Overton, Cornelia Dic-
kerson, Sara Samonds, and Sally
Jackson spent the week-end at
Davidson. Helen Edwards and
Todd McCain had a marvelous
week-end at Vanderbuilt. Of

course, Mary Alice McDonald, Ter-
rell Warburton, and Ann Green
thought Chapel Hill was even bet-
ter.

Oh me, time to get back to
those books even if I can talk
about last week-end in volumes!

Emory to Enact
Broadway Hit
This Weekend

"The Late George Apley," a
Broadway comedy hit by John
Marquand and George Kaufman,
will be presented by the Emory
Players Friday and Saturday at
8:30 p. m. at Glenn Memorial au-
ditorium as a feature of Parents'
Day on the Emory campus.

The main production of the
Players for the fall quarter is a
comedy of the sophisticated life
and customs of Boston's Beacon
Hill. The play portrays the Apley
family as a typical Boston family
with its emphasis on club meet-
ings and on the fine points of cul-
ture, but it does it in such a man-
ner as to completely amuse the
audience.

Joe Duke will be starred as
George Apley and Frances Jenn-
ings will play his wife, Catherine.
The son, John, will be played by
Adrian Pollock and La Faye
Leake will play the daughter,
Eleanor. George A. Neeley, assis-
tant professor of speech, will di-
rect the production and Bill Mor-
ris will be student director.

The first performance on Fri-
day in honor of the parents and
attendance will be limited to stu-
dents, teachers, and parents. The
public is invited to Saturday's
performance and tickets will be
sold by all members of the play-

Seniors Trample Frosh 3-J,
Sophs Give Way To Jrs. 7-0

By Charlotte Key

Freshmen made the senior victory of 3-1 mighty hard,
while the sophomores and juniors waged their usual battle,
the juniors winning 1-0.

The first game looked bad at first for the senior champs,
especially when Sybil Corbett pushed the ball over their
goal for the first score of the

afternoon. It wasn't long, though,
until the ball went rolling down
toward the frosh goal. Three
times in succession it went down
that way, and each time the sen-
iors scored. Bunny Brannan
made two goals and Sid Cummings
scored once.

Frosh Stand Firm

In the second half the frosh de-
fense really had a workout but
took it in their stride. The ball
stayed near the freshman goal
most of the period. Try as they
would, the seniors could not get
that ball into the goal, and the
half ended as it had begun ex-
cept for a few more weary bones
and gray hairs for the players.

Juniors Avenge Defeat

In the second game of the after-
noon, the juniors avenged their
previous defeat by the sophomore
team. The game was really a
fair one as far as the field was
concerned. The ball went every-
where and then some. There
was a lot of hard playing; but not
until near the end of the half did
the goal line yield, and then to the
juniors in the person of Mary
Louise Warlick.

Score Zero
The second half was marked
by the continuous, skillful, but fu-
tile attempts of the sophomores
to come from behind. Jenelle
Spear, forward, and Joan Coart,
half-back, really did their share
in the job of keeping the ball at
the junior goal where it stayed
most of the time. The juniors
withstood the many attacks,
though, and the second half of this
game was like that of the other
no scoring.

In First Game

To warm the field up for the
class games and to get experience
for themselves in the heat of bat-
tle, the hockey beginners' classes
played a game Friday, at 3:30 p.
m. The teams were principally
composed of the sister classes;
and the purples frosh and jun-
iors defeated the blues sophs
and seniors 1-0.

Most of the game was played
in the center of the field, where
each team struggled to get and
keep possession of the ball. It did
go down to the goals fairly often,
though. On one of these times
Norah Ann Little scored for the
purples. Those who played were:

Football Fever

Play by

By Margaret Brewer

If we have another campaign around here the Sports editor will
have to resign to avoid being fired. Up until now she's been mixing
a lot of imagination with a little experience in an attempt to hide
the fact that before being assigned to this page she'd never written
a sports story. But, never having played football either really or
imaginatively, this campaign is fast letting the pig out of the skin.

Pigskin Poll

In writing the football story it's obviously necessary to know who
does what, even in an imaginary game, so I took a galloping poll of
Emory's campus to find out whether the fullback, halfback, quarter-
back, guard or water boy kicks off the kickoff ball, since it was
necessary to give pr. McCain a position. However, this poll wasn't
as successful as the one I took on how many people season french
fried potatoes with catsup there the answer could only be "You're
Crazy!" But at Emory I got as many different answers as there are
football players on^a team. Fullbacks, halfbacks and quarterbacks
predominated, though, so I just haphazardly picked the halfback as
the initial kickeroffer. If anyone knows better, please forever hold
your peace!

Tips on Tennis

The subject of tennis is on more familiar grounds. The Powers-
That-Be have announced that the back courts will have to suffice for
this year, but new, hardsurfaced courts will be built near 'the riding
ring and extended to the back of Halfback McCain's house. It has not
been decided just how many new courts will be built. Wonder if
we could squeeze in a football field?

Foreign Nations See Peace,
Aid In '48 Democratic Upset

By Jane Efurd

The election held the news spot-
light last week not only in the
U. S. but also throughout the
world. President Harry Truman,
to the surprise of everyone and
the embarrassment of many, had
a total electoral vote of 279 to
Governor Tom Dewey's 214. Of
the other candidates, Governor
Strom Thurmond had 38 votes,
while Henry Wallace received no
electoral votes.

Democratic Congress

The Democratic party also gain-
ed control of Congress. The ma-
jority in the House almost ap-
proached a landslide. The sweep
even extended into the governor-
ship races.

President Truman had predicted
that the public-opinion pollsters
would be red-faced when the elec-
tion returns were known. He was
correct. Not since 1936 had the
predictions been so wrong. All of
the major polls Gallup, Fortune,
and Crossley had given Dewey
the victory. In reality the choice
remained with the voter, and his
choice was President Truman.

Foreign Feeling

The rest of the world saw the
Democratic victory as meaning
uninterrupted aid and continued
support of the anti-Communist
doctrine. Eastern Europe was sur-
prised that Wallace .did not re-
ceive more votes, and in Moscow,
Molotov declared that the people
of the United States had proved
that they warned peace by elect-
ing Truman over Dewey. The

Russians have held that the Re-
publicans were more reactionary
and anti-Communist than the
Democrats.

In the U. N. the United States
advocated turning over to a sub-
committee the question of the Is-
raeli military gains. The reason
for this sudden reversal of policy
was that President Truman had
decided nothing should be done
to embarrass the Israelis.
Berlin Crisis

The matter of Berlin remained
undecided. Under the surface the
struggle continued. In the Soviet
zone the Russians were building
up a large German police force.
The five Brussels Treaty nations
plus the U. S. and Canada were
preparing plans for a North At-
lantic Defense Pact. Under this
pact the U. S. and Canada would
start a new flow of military lend-
lease to Western Europe.

U. S. Evacuation

Nine hundred U. S. military de-
pendents were ordered evacuated
from the Shanghai-Nanking area
of China, and 4,000 other Ameri-
cans were advised by diplomatic
officials to leave as soon as pos-
sible. This order was given be-
cause of China's poor military
situation.

The fall of Mukden of the Chi-
nese Communists had political as
well as military implications. Pub-
lic confidence in the government
was lowered, and unless the army
in North China can get reinforce-
ments, the fall of that area to the
Communists will be a question on-
ly of time.

Answers to Sport Scope

(Questions on page 3)

1. No, when the ball bounces
off your feet you have to run
back to play it. It would be to
your disadvantage, so there is no
penalty. However, if the ball
bounces off your feet toward your
opponents' goal and you play it,
a free hit would be given to your
opponents.

2. In a corner the ball is placed
five yards from the corner, either
on the goal line or on the side line.
A corner is awarded to your op-.

ponents when you or one of your
team unintentionally drives the
ball beyond the goal line.

In a penalty corner the ball is
placed ten yards from the nearest
goal-post on the goal line. This
penalty is given to your opponents
when you or one of your team in-
tentionally drives the ball past the
goal line or when one of your de-
fense commits a foul within the
striking circle.

EDITORIALS

'It's a Grand Old Gang'

They've been asking for this a long time as long, in fact,
as a junior editor can remember. They've been bringing this
on themselves.

They are those members of the Agnes Scott family who
are forever streaming yellow and white or singing out, "It's A
Grand Old Gang." I've watched them since their sophomore
year and noted (not too happily) how often they've been out
in front. The secret of their success? They have a unity
that serves them in projects, a cooperation that makes them
the best sports teams, a common interest that thrusts them
into school activities. Class spirit they've got it; school
spirit even more so.

This last has been their week. Saturday they were invested
with full seniority. Monday they proved their mettle, plung-
ing through a formidable defense to take the lead in school
fund campaign.

So it is that even "an arch-enemy" must suspend class
rivalry to toast the seniors. Here's to them; not always
ahead, but always together. C. D

Candid Candidates

Jabber Wacky

By Mary Hayes Barber

The election, Truman, and Jabber Wacky most suitable
place for such talk. So taking the one line subject, "It was
shocking," and stretching it over the whole column, it be-
comes Jabber Wacky. It was shocking, to say the least,
but let's say more.

MEMBER

Associated Collegiate Press

The campaign very confusing,
to many not amusing. Whom to
vote for or against? Dewey was
for everything; Truman anybody,
Thurmond everybody (that counts,
that is) ; Wallace does not include
in Thurmond's select, and Norman
Thomas I don't know, can't think
of another pronoun.

Coming from a few miles farther
north (less far south) where the
corn and voters grow green later
than Georgia peaches, I'm one of
those NOT allowed the franchise.
Thus nothing to do but worry
about how the more privileged
friend should vote. (After all my
political conniving, I discover these
"mature and responsible" voters
forget to register.)

Truman Expose'
On with the exposition whom
to politic for not knowing any of
the candidates personally, I was
forced to rely on such reliable
sources of information as "Time"
magazine and the grapevine.
Hearing that my fifth cousin's
sister-in-law's cousin had bought
a suit from Mr. Truman, I thought
maybe that, with such a close re-
lationship, I ought to be for him;
but then I found out the 30-dollar
SUit wore out before four seasons.

No, that would never do, it
might be an omen. Anyway he
must be behind the times, 'cause
somebody (don't think it was Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan) said Truman
should not crucify the South on
a cross of Silver Wrights. Tru-
man ought to know we're now on
paper standard, and that the gold-
silver issue has ceased.

Th Neighbor Vote
Then I felt the bonds of neigh-
borliness and wondered if I
shouldn't vote (in chapel, that is)
for my neighbor from the southern
corner of North Carolina; but then
as at many other times, that un-
prejudiced informing weekly
"Time" changed my mind. After

all, if Thurmond had been "run-
ning for something all his life?"
he would not be "as freshe as the
monthe of May."

Time Will Tell

What about Dewey? Well,
what about him? How did I
know that a ride in this farmer's
bandwagon would be jolting?
"Time" implied he'd win, and only
time will tell. Confusion and
more. Should I wield my mighty
influence for Wallace? After all,
he's done a lot for me, shouldn't
I repay him? I used to be in
poultry, and he raised the demands
for poultry products.

Election day over, why worry
more. I scratched the Thurmond
sticker off my window, put up
my Dewey and Norman Thomas
buttons until 1952, sold my poul-
try interest at a 10 per cent loss,
and proudly pulled my "Sew with
Truman" thimble out of my room-
mate's sewing basket. You know

C. A. Halo

By Evelyn Foster

Have you ever wondered about
the various C. A. projects their
purpose, the sort of work that is
done, who does it, and what is
accomplished? More than likely
you have, and C. A. doesn't want
you to be in the dark any longer.
Beginning now, your Halo column
will contain from time to time re-
ports of these activities.

Today, let's get into the swing
of things with an imaginary trip
to the Central Day Camp, to help
with the underprivileged girls,
whose ages range from 6 to 13.
Suppose that you, accompanied
by perhaps Sue McSpadden and
Barbara Caldwell, two of the reg-
ular workers, have just finished
the long trolley trip and, clutch-
ing glue, crepe paper, crayons,
candy, and story books in your
arms, have just arrived at your
destination.

As you enter the doorway, you
find yourself surrounded sudden-
ly by a hoard of little affection-
starved children. Fifteen treble
voices clamour for your attention.
Fifteen dirty, up-turned faces
gaze expectantly into yours. Mak-
ing a valiant effort at being cheer-
ful and friendly, you look hope-
fully at Sue and Barby and
breathe a sigh of relief as they
begin to obtain some semblance of
order.

In a few minutes the three of
you have begun to carry out the
program which you had planned
Sunday afternoon. You play games,
you read stories, you sing. You
teach sewing, knitting, or some
other form of handicraft. To lit-
tle girls who perhaps have never
been to Sunday School, you teach
the Bible. Eagerly they listen to
the story of Moses, the Christmas
story, and others that you thought
every child knew.

At first you had felt a helpless-
ness and a sense of inadequacy at
the thought of the task which con-
fronted you; but now, you feel a
part of things. These children
need help, and you are determin-
ed to give them as much as you
can. You find yourself making
plans to return on one of other
two Day-Camp days, perhaps on
"culture day" when the girls are
taught habits of cleanliness, neat-
ness attractiveness, and health-
fulness; when they learn to have
fun through the dramatization of
short plays. You would like to
help again with the handicraft
and Bibl? study, too.

Quite clear to you now is the
purpose of the project to give
these children confidence in them-
selves, to help them develop well-
rounded personalities, and to show
them above all the Christian
way of life.

Campus Slips

The nine-thirty American liter-
ature class was chattering away at
nine-twenty-nine last Tuesday.
Suddenly Ihe bell rang and a
hushed silence fell over the group.
Five minutes passed and Miss
Christie had not arrived. The
chattering started in quieter
spurts. Ten minutes passed and
Mis Christie had not arrived.
The class was in a state of chaos.
In several minutes more the class
filed slowly out. Wednesday
morning Miss Christie came in
told the class that she had been
and with an apologetic (?) smile
running on a Monday schedule
all day Tuesday and had forgotten
to come to our class.

ser Hall.

An interpretation of Jean Kerr's
dramatization of the book by Cor-
nelia Otis Skinner and Emily Kim-
brough, the play is the story of

Georgia Evening college; and Fred
Pennington and Homer Robertson
of Atlanta are cast in tne male

thentic costumes donated by
Blackfriar alumnae, "Our Hearts
Were Young and Gay" promises
proper background for the comedy.
Tickets will be on sale until Fri-
day in the lobby of Buttrick and
at the door.

Present for the performance will
be this year's judges for the Ben-
nett Trcphey award, given in the

graduate of Vassar college, who
this summer studied dramatics in
Europe under a scholarship from
Vassar.

The Bennett Trophy is given
each year by the Claude S. Ben-
nett company to the judges' choice,
in recognition of the work Agnes
Scolt does in promoting more ex-
cellent college dramatics. The
girls are judged on the bases of
voice, diction, poise, pantomime,
characterization, and service to
the club.

Al umnae Return
For '48 Reunion

By Eliza Pollard

Students will be startled in Friday morning classes to
find sitting next to them some "privileged characters" whom
the professors do not ask to recite. This week-end alunmae
will nostalgically wander around the dormitories examining
their old rooms, the present occupants, and the layers of
paint that testify to the passage

of time since they hung their hats
there.

"These fall gatherings are a tra-
dition at Agnes Scott," stated Miss
Eleanor Hutchins, alumnae direc-
tor, "when graduates of all classes
are present in contrast to the sep-
arate spring reunions. This will
be the first fall reunion, however,
since World War II."

"About 50 reservations were in
Saturday", Miss Hutchins contin-
ued, "for the Blackfriars' pres-
entation Friday night of "Our
Hearts Were Young and Gay" and
the luncheon Friday at the alum-
nae house." Of special interest
because of the funds campaign
will be Dr. J. R. McCain's ad-
dress Friday afternoon on the
progress of the college and its
plans for the future. Since the
honors program has been added re-
cently, alumnae will hear an ex-
planation of it at that same time
by George P. Hayes. These talks
will be followed by a coffee in
Murphey Candler at which Mrs.
Roff Sims will speak.

Friday morning in chapel Dr.
McCain and Mrs. Bealy Smith,
president of the Alumnae associ-
ation will officially open the meet-
ing. Many alumnae will meet
Dr. W. M. Alston, new vice-presi-
dent of the college, for the first
time when he speaks to them and
the student body in chapel Sat-
urday.

After chapel, Mrs. Hazon Smith,

Touchdown

AS Team Defeats Greenies
40220 - 0 in Final Play

By Cathy Davis

With the faculty and staff and the seniors carrying the
ball behind knock-down interference from the other classes
and organizations, the Agnes Scott college team resound-
ingly defeated opponent Greenbacks 40220-0 in the closing
seconds of the play-off Thursday.

Doubling the score expected _
from pre-game dope netted a twin-
holiday, which was set for Friday
and Saturday after Thanksgiving
when Quarterback Jim McCain
called a huddle of the victors.

Spectators nervously adjusted
binoculars to the scoreboard as
Scorers Henry Robinson and Har-
riotte Winchester chalked up last-
minute gains. Then the stands
rose bedlammed when the clock
ran out showing the two-day win-
ning margin.

Individual players of the Agnes
Scott team racked up the follow T -
ing scores: faculty and staff.
11633; seniors. 8341 (plus 4000
bonus prizes); freshmen, 5484;
sophomores, 4762^; juniors,

Five Students
Display Talent

By Barbara Scheeler

A wide variety of talent was
displayed on the music and speech
department chapel program Fri-
day.

Dorothy Adams, sophomore,
played Chopin's "Black Etude."
Her touch was quick and sure, and
her continuity was good.

Mary Noras, senior special, sang
"When I Have Sung My Songs"
by Charles, and "Without a Song"
by YoUmans.^ Her musicianship
was best displayed in her second
number which she freely inter-
preted. Her poise was good.

Barbara Browning, freshman,
read a series of poems about fair-
ies. Her diction was good and her
voice carried well. She seemed
as though she thoroughly enjoy-
ed giving her reading.

Norah Ann Little, junior, played
"Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" by
Bach on the pipe organ. The to-
tal effect was pleasing, although
a more definite difference in dyn-
amics would have made the num-
ber more pleasant.

Charity Bennett, sophomore,
sang "Nocturne" by Curry and
"Will-O-the-Wisp" by Spross. Her
first number had excellent inton-
ation. She sang with ease, her
pianissimo passages showing her
musicianship best.

Play Production Class Takes
Students Behind Footlights

By Margaret Hopkins

The stage is set, houselights are dimmed, and the curtain
rises on a new and fascinatingly different course at Agnes
Scott. This course called the Play Production class is under
the supervision of Miss Roberta Winter, and has seven girls

enrolled.

One of the three weekly meet-
ings is a laboratory period. So
far the labs have consisted of
weekly visits to the Atlanta Stock
Company, "The Stage". The girls
have not only seen all of this com*
pany's productions, but they have
also visited back stage where they
met the actors and actresses, the
stage crew, and director; became
acquainted with ground plans for
the set; made prop lists; ushered;

Ansley were Patsy Webb, Irene
McLeod, Ann Hanahan, Lyd Gard-
ner, and Adelaide Ryall.

Hunt Morris and Marie Cuth-
bertson went to the play, 'The
Late George Aply" at Emory.
Ann Carol Blanton took Helen
Christian home with her to Farm-
ville, Virginia. They attended the
homecoming festivities of Hamp-
(Continued on page 4)

and observed the application of
makeup.

The practical work of this class
is being carried out in connection
with the work of Blackfriars. In
the forthcoming presentation of
"Our Hearts Were Young and
Gay", Anne Brooks is working
with the Blackfriars' chairman of
scenery; Dina Lee with props;
Catherine McGauley with lights;
Janette Mattox with costumes;
Edrice Reynolds with prompting;
Mary Stubbs with makeup; and
Joan Wilmon with the Chairman of
the Front of the House.

After observing, studying, ex-
perimenting, and applying their
knowledge these girls will be well
informed in the art of play pro-
duction, as Miss Winter said,
"they will know their play from
the choosing of it to the final cur-
tain."

Barbara Lawson Elected to Presidency
Of G. A. F. C. W. at Annual Convention

Another case of "local girl
makes good" was recorded last
week-end when our own Barbara
Lawson was elected president of
the Georgia Athletic federation of
college women.

Barby was nominated by a com-
mittee composed of one delegate
from each Georgia college sending
representatives to the convention
at Milledgeville, and elected by
secret ballot. Gretta Moll ac-
companied Barby as Agnes Scott's
other delegate, and gave the re-
port on our athletic activities.

President Lawson's main duty
is to prepare next year's G. A. F.
C. W. convention. Her business
is mostly carried on by correspon-
dence.

At the convention Barbara par-
ticipated in a panel discussion,
and gave the closing speech en-
titled "College Philosophy Ap-
plied to Life."

Gretta and Barby stayed with
friends in Mayfair dormitory at
G. S. C. W., and attended a rec-
reation period, called a mixer,
held to help the delegates get ac-
quainted. A picnic supper and
exhibitions of modern dancing,
and tumbling provided additional
entertainment.

Jrs. Sport Neptune's Crown
After Swimming Meet Battle

By Charlotte Key

All of Neptune's daughters gathered in the gym last
Wednesday night to watch the juniors win the greatest
water battle of all time by splashing up a score of 32 points.

The uppgrclassmen really outshone the frosh and sophs
as far as skill in the H20 was concerned. The seniors took
second place with 31 points, then

the sophomores with 10%, and the
freshmen with 5%.

This year's meet featured more
racing than usual, and also of-
fered some "valuable" instruction
on how NOT to run a meet. Jean
Kline, garbed in the "New Look"
of Neptuneland, and Bobbie Cath-
cart officiated in a mock swim-
ming meet which ended with Bob-
bie gurgling in the briney deep af-
ter a "slight" disagreement with
her official partner.

One of the outstanding features
of the meet was the expert display
of form in diving. In this depart-
ment the upperclassmen had to
step aside and watch Fritz Hale
and Punky Chard, diving for the
sophs, walk away with the honors.
Fritz chose as her optional dive
the half twist, and Punky the
front somersault.

The last event was a relay in
which the contestants had to dress
in the contents of a suitcase given
them and swim the length of the
pool. The last swimmer had to
blow a balloon until it popped be-
fore swimming. It looked as
though the seniors would win.
Marie Cuthbertson got a little
eager, though, and forgot the bal-
loon. By the time she had swum
back to her starting place, the
sophomore and freshman swim*
mers were blowing heartily. The
soph proved to be the biggest
bag of wind, and her team won.

Cold and dreary weather failed
to faze the battle royal waged on
the hockey field Friday afternoon
which gave the seniors and jun-
iors 2-0 leads over the sophs and
frosh.

In the first half of the senior-
sophomore game, Sally Ellis made
the only score, giving the seniors
a 1-0 lead. An added bit of excite-
ment occurred in the second half
when a stray hockey stick struck
Sally in the face^and time had to
be called. This, however, did not
keep the senior from tallying a
second time in spite of the efforts
of Joan Coart, Liza Pollard and
Wilton Rice to keep the ball from
the sophomore goal.

The junior-freshman game had
more suspense. Neither team was
able to score in the first half, de-
spite the efforts of freshmen Mary
Fearing, Jane Windham, Sybil

C A. Halo

By Evelyn Foster

For the benefit of all you who
like to sing, to pretend to sing, to
listen to singing, or to get away
from your studies and have fun,
or to eat candied apples, C. A. is
giving a sjng. It's to be in Mur-
phey Candler, Sunday night at
9:30. Be there!

A deputation consisting of Mary
Price, Cathie Davis, and Anna De-
Vault represented Agnes Scott at
G. S. C. W. The three spoke at
an open meeting of the Y. W. C. A.
on "God as Seen through the Bi-
ble" specifically in the Old Tes-
tament, the Gospels, and the Epis-
tles.

Those of us who attended Ves-
pers Sunday night were held spell-
bound by Mrs. Robert Church's
reading of "The Bomb that Fell
on America." Not only was the
entire content of the book excel-
lent, but also, Mrs. Church's de-
livery of it was superb. We
came away with the feeling that
the atomic bomb had really fallen
on America, and with an under-
standing of the statement that
the one thing greater than the
bomb is the human soul.

Dr. George Batchelor, head of
the Presbyterian committee on
Negro work, will speak at the reg-
ular meeting of Soph-CAtion
Thursday.

The group has been studying so-
cial problems all quarter, and has
embarked on a social project of
their own, the making of baby
clothes for underprivileged babies
at Grady Hospital.

Campus Slips

The other night when Terry
Keith got into the bathtub, she
wasn't very careful about putting
her Johnson's Baby Powder with-
in reach. After her bath Terry
was in a hurry to get out of the
tub by 10:45. Instead of her pow-
der Terry grabbed the can right
next to it on the stool. Do you
think Dutch Cleanser will ever
replace baby powder? Ask Terry!
Her motto is now "The Skin You
Love to Scour."

One Sophomore definitely likes
to think that she's getting more
sleep for her hours. So rain or
shine, sun or sleet, test or not,
she sets her alarm for five o'clock
in the morning. When her startled
room-mate hears the nerve-rack-
ing bell of the alarm, this Sopho-
more gleefully assures her that
they still have two and a half
more hours to sleep.

And did you see a certain stu-
dent knitting nonchalantly as
she walked down the line in the
dining room, leaving a trail of
yarn behind her all the way to
the door.

Thanks to campaigners

I wish to convey to the entire
college community my apprecia-
tion for the united support given
in the recent campaign.

I would like to write a personal
letter to each person who contri-
buted his time or money, but this
would be impossible since the
campus was 100 per cent in par-
ticipation. The fine spirit demon-
strated will serve as an inspira-
tion to the alumnae and others as
the Agnes Scott Expansion Fund
drive continues to victory.

Sincerely,
Henry A. Robinson

To the victorious Agnes Scott
team:

The campus campaign of 1948
is now past and has become the
eighth in a history of campaign
success. Highlights of the cam-
paign we will long remember: the

atmosphere of oneness at the open-
ing luncheon; our faculty wahoop-
ing down Presser aisle; the kick-
off; and that last night of fren-
zied calling home, recanvassing
dorms, and increasing pledges in
the hopes of making it $40,000.

I think the thing I shall remem-
ber longest is the wholesale coop-
eration. It would be impossible to
enumerate all of those who worked
committees. From beginning to
on various committees and sub-
end we met with a simply wonder-
ful spirit and willingness to work
on the part of the entire college
family. It was this cooperation
that made the campaign a success.

From a heart full of gratitude,
all I can say is, "Thank you" each
and everyone for whatever your
part may have been. It was ter-
rific.

Sincerely
Sully.

Worms Squirm

Jabber Wacky

By Lee Cousar

If, during your wanderings over
the campus, you have encounter-
ed some of "those people who
spend their Saturday afternoons
in the library," perhaps you have
felt slight quajms about their
mental health. If so, you will be
interested in an eye-witness ac-
count of "Saturday Afternoon Be-
hind the Swinging'Doors."

Failure For "LilV"

It was with a true psycholo-
gist's interest in human behavior
plus an extra-long assignment
for Monday that I betook myself
to the library last Saturday after-
noon. Upon arriving, I went
straight to the magazine corner,
as is my usual custom, only to
find that I was fourteenth in line
for "Life." Apparently, the other
13 people in the library had pick-
ed up my literary habit.

Thwarted there, I was forced
to turn to my studies. Since I
have always had a peculiar dis-
like for big empty rooms, I de-
cided not to study in the main
reading room but retired to the
carrels. These time-worn cells I
found well-inhabited. There were
at least nine honor students pre-
sent, devoting their afternoons to
the pursuit of knowledge.

Bold-Bat ies

Choosing an un-labeled carrel
I settled down to my work, only
to be interrupted by a peculiar
rhythmic noise from the adjacent
carrel, accompanied by a whisper-
ed "one-two-three-four . . . "
Peering around the corner, I dis-
covered my neighbor hanging out

of the window playing with her
Bolo-Bat. Upon gently reminding
her that quiet was requested in
the library, I was met with an
amazed stare, and, with a griev-
ed air, she informed me that she
was not playing with her Bolo-
Bat in the library.

Squelched, I retired to my car-
rel and conditioned myself to the
rhythmic beat. I found this con-
ditioning a little more difficult,
however, when the inhabitant of
the carrel directly above that of
my neighbor, leaned out the win-
dow and begged to be allowed to
try her hand at Bolo-Batting.

Finally, our little athlete grew
tired, and I was forced, then, to
condition myself to a most un-
natural quiet.

Nuts!

About mid-a f t e r no o n what
should enter the stacks but a
ray of sunshine who had been
studying upstairs bringing four
pecans to each of her fellow stu-
dents. Of course, the pecans were
the hardshelled type that could
only be cracked by being stamped
on. Hence, for the remainder of
the afternoon, resounding explo-
sions were heard throughout the
stacks at irregular intervals.

When the library finally closed,
all of these scholars staggered
out to recount a woeful tale of
an afternoon of ha-a-a-ard work,
and I came out understanding, at
last, why they chose the library
for fheir Saturday's entertain-
ment.

Strikes, Riots Cause Strife
As Reds Gain in China Area

By Jane Efurd

China's desperate situation held top place in the news last
week. American dependents were being shipped out ahead of
the Communists. The recent Red gains have sent a wave of
defeatism and a general feeling of despair over Nationalist
China as is evidenced by the food riots and strikes in Hang-
chow, Shanghai and Nanking

Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek is
the only force holding the Nation-
alist government together, and he
is determined to protect Central
China, the heart of the govern-
ment and of the country, at all
costs.

The Economic Cooperation ad-
ministration announced that $18,-
891,000 worth of raw cotton and
rice had been authorized for ship-
ment to China. It was reported
that the first major shipment of
American guns and ammunition
to China since the Communist
sweep in Manchuria is ready for
departure.

U. N. Atomic Planning

In the United Nations sessions
in Paris the General Assembly
decided that the U. S. atomic con-
trol plan (Baruch plan) was the
one needed by the world. It hoped
that the Big Five and Canada
could agree on it. Russia's Andrei
Vishinski rejected it immediately.

In the Security Council the Is-
raelis and Egyptians were told to
withdraw their troops in the Pal-
estine Negeb to the positions held
on Oct. 14. A subcommittee was
appointed to deoide what course
of action should be taken if they
refuse.

Peace Appeal

Herbert V. Evatt, president of
the General Assembly, and Trygve
Lie, Secretary General, appealed
directly to the heads of the gov-
ernments of the United States,
Great Britain, France and the So-

viet Union to settle the Berlin dis-
pute. The appeal was based on a
Mexican resolution unanimously
adopted and calling upon the great
powers to renew their efforts to
settle differences and to effect a
lasting peace.

The British feeling was that the
appeal was ill-timed. The U. S.
delegation refused to comment ex-
cept to say that Secretary of State
Marshall would reply in behalf of
the U. S. government. It was
pointed out that the Soviet Union
had vetoed the resolution and that
it would be impossible to open ne-
gotiations unless the Soviet atti-
tude was changed.

French Election Trends

The recent French elections
showed four trends: a revival of
the Radical Socialists, a decline
of the Communists, an upsurge of
Gaullist strength and a collapse
of the M. R. P. De Gaulle's party
and other conservative groups will
have a majority in the Council of
the Republic, the upper house.
This strength may be used to
wreck the shaky Henri Queuille
government.

In the U. S. the election was still
making the news. Speculation
was running high about commit-
tee positions for the eighty-first
Congress and about possible Cab-
inet changes. The Progressive
party seemed to be melting away
and the Dixiecrats were fast try-
ing to change over to the winning
side.

German Student Sees States;
Finds America 'Pretty Big'

By Mary Alice MacDonald

Gundalise Stepper, a new German student from Regens-
burg, encountered a momentous quiz the very first day she
walked into Miss Christie's American literature class. Miss
Christie gave Gundalise a piece of paper and told her to
write an interpretation of Edgar Allen Poe's poem, "To

Vernon, and finally Williamsburg
which she says is her favorite
place on the trip.

Helen." About the best test
paper turned in that day was Gun-
dalise's.

America looked pretty big to
her as she viewed New York from
her trans-Atlantic plane. "I
boarded the plane in the very
early morning in Frankfurt," she
explained in her attractive Ger-
man accent. In less than 24 hours
she was being met at LaGuardia
Field by some of her American
friends who live here in Decatur.

After several days in New York,
seeing all the sights; Radio City,
West Point, the Empire State
building, and Broadway, Gunda-
lise and her friends started their
drive to Georgia. They stopped
all the way to show Gundalise
Washington, the White House, Mt.

Gundalise will finish her college
work here at Agnes Scott this
June and go back home to the
American zone of Regensburg to
teach home economics and music.
These two subjects are hr favor-
ite fields of endeavor in college.
She has studied a great deal in
home economics and has had ex-
tensive practical experience in
that field.

"Conditions at home have not
improved very much since the war.
Money is scarce. The food sit-
uation is somewhat better," she
remarked about post-war Ger-
many.

Homecoming Week-end
Draws 100 Alumnae

Agnes Scott observed its annual Homecoming last week-
end with over 100 alumnae present.

Members of all classes from 1908 to 1947 attended, with the
exception of graduates of the classes of 1909, 1915, 1918, 1919,
1920, 1936, and 1941. There were four alumnae present who
had attended Agnes Scott when it
was known as Agnes Scott Insti-
tute and the Academy.

The program for the week-end
began with traditional chapel ex-
ercises Friday morning. Dr. J. R.
McCain led the devotionals and
welcomed all the alumnae, after
which he introduced the President
of the National Alumnae Associ-
ation, Mrs. Bealy Smith.

Mrs. Smith expressed the pleas-
ure of all the alumnae at being
on the campus and invited all the
students to participate in the
alumnae activities. Following the
chapel program there was a lunch-
eon, at which 41 alumnae were
present.

Saturday the alumnae attended
regular classes and heard Dr. Wal-
lace Alston speak in chapel on the
high cost of rewarding living.

A luncheon followed in the col-
lege dining room with 100 alumnae
attending. The weekend activities
ended with an open house for the
alumnae and their children Sat-
urday afternoon.

Blackfriars Rate 'Merit Plus 7
On Acting; Sets; Costuming

By Ginnie Feddeman

Presser Hall made a quick change Friday night into the
Globe Theater on Broadway as the Blackfriars scored a mer-
it-double-plus for their excellent production of the comedy
"Our Hearts Were Young and Gay", under the capable direc-
tion of Miss Roberta Winter.

The already well known stars,
Reese Newton and Polly Miles,
even surpassed their previous rep-
utation for outstanding dramatic
ability. Special praise is due to
Polly for the delightful way she
handled her monologue in the
third act. Each one of the cast
deserves special mention but space
limits us, so we'll just say "excel-
lently done".

That important first impression

Warlick, Clements to Plan
Junior-Senior Productions

Seniors named Dot Porter Clem-
ents and juniors elected Mary
Louise Warlick to head the an-
nual class productions of 1949.

Dot Clements will direct the
composition and production of Sen-
ior Opera which is presented every
spring on the night of May Day
celebration. Chairman Mary
Louise Warlick will plan Junior
Joint, a regular winter feature.

Proceeds to Charity

The junior class this year voted
to contribute the riroceeds from
Junior Joint to the All Charity
Campaign which will replace the
indivdual philanthropic drives held
each year.

Mary Louise Warlick has done
organizational work as class hock-
ey manager, as secretary of soph-
omore cabinet, as a secretary of
Westminister Fellowship, anl as a
member of C. A. cabinet.

can only be praised. The stage
was most appealing with its de-
lightful state-room setting. This,
plus the appearance of Cornelia's
conservative mother and humor-
ous father as portrayed by Mar-
tha Weakley and Fred Pennington,
gave the spirit which the audience
caught and held until the .last
bouquet was given.

Special commendation is to be
given to the costumes committee
for the authentic costumes of
1923, donated by Blackfriars'
alumnae.

Clever lines and quick action
kept the play moving at a fast
clip. The audience was in a high
state of glee throughout. The
costumes, scenery, lighting and
acting combined to give the au-
dience a Broadway smash hit and
an evening filled with laughter.

Sophomores

Chemists Work Out Reaction
To Fuzzy Possum Problem

Here is an event for the books! A possum hunt that ended
with a possum. Saturday night H20, H2S04, test tubes, and
Bunsen burners were forgotten by the chemistry majors and
their attention was turned to a possum hunt given by Dr. W. J.
Frierson, professor of chemistry.

The possum posse, complete
with hounds, a guide, and a moon,
departed from the Science hall
destination, Yellow River about
two miles from Stone Mountain.
Mr. Jones, former night-watchman
at Agnes Scott, furnished the dogs
and directed the group's activities
at Yellow River.

As soon as the crowd got or-
ganized, Mr. Jones set the dogs
free. It didn't take long for them
to pick up the trail of the possum;
and soon the hunters, tramping
through the woods hot in the pur-
suit, heard the dogs howling. This
was a definite sign that ole Bro'
Possum was up a tree. The scien-
tific way to get a possum down
seems to be to shake the tree. This
is the procedure which the chem-
ists followed. The result one
possum caught.

After walking miles through the
woods and treeing various pos-
sums (four in all) the triumphant
big game hunters retired to Stone
Mountain for a calm, tame weiner
roast. According to the crowd,
the possum hunt was really a suc-
cess, and the girls returned to
Agnes Scott singing the praises
of their hunting chemistry pro-
fessor!

Robin Hoods
Crowd Field
This Quarter

The hockey field became prac-
tically a Greenwood forest this
quarter when approxima tely
eighty potential Robin Hoodesses
composing five classes learned the
art of archery from Mrs. Adolph
Lapp.

Shoot Columbia Rounds

"All the girls are so interested,
and they're all very good," Mrs.
Lapp commented. "The beginners
have shot Junior Columbia
Rounds, while those with previous
experience have shot the Columbia
Rounds." Columbia Rounds con-
sist of shooting twenty-four ar-
rows from thirty, forty and fifty
yards.

Archery Club Formed

Because of these excellent re-
sults, and the girls' enjoyment of
the sport, an archery club is now
being organized. Julie Cuthbert-
son, archery manager, hopes to
have the results of the tryouts by
December 1, and intends to hold
a meeting before the Christmas
holidays.

Tryouts have been extended
through next Tuesday.

Membership Requirements

Members for the club will be
taken from those who have shot
the highest scores in the Junior
Colufbia and Columbia Rounds.
Those in the club will be eligible
to enter the Inter-collegiate Te-
legraphic meet in the spring.

Class archery managers are:
freshman, Anita Coyne; sopho-
mores, Kay Laufer; juniors, Julia
Goode; and seniors, Jane Efurd.

Hockey Hints

Swimmers
Re-Name Club

Rejuvenation has taken place.
The swimming club is no longer
the swimming club in more ways
than one. In the first place, it
has a new name. In commemora-
tion of all those poor unfortunates
who have slaved to do the glori-
fied somersault, the members have
chosen the name Dolphin club.

At the Dolphins' first meeting
with this year's new members
Fritz Hale was chosen chief send-
out-noticer.

As a result of its other phase of
rejuvenation, the swimm5ng cHub
will have a treat in store for the
campus spring quarter, during the
weekly meetings, the swimmers
have been working on the water
ballet which the club presents
each year. Last Wednesday the
club was divided into two groups,
each of which worked out a por-
tion of a ballet. Swimming Man-
ager Betty Van Houten ano>M-iss
Helena Williams, assistant in
physical education, are directing
the water pageant.

Sport Scope

Miss Helena Williams, instruc-
tor in swimming and tennis, has
been awarded a national rating in
basketball officiating by the At-
lanta Board of Women Officials.

The freshman class has elected
Winnie Strozier to represent them
on Athletic association board.

Frosh, Sophs
Jump Season

Anticipating winter quarter the
freshmen beat the sophomores in
a rip-roaring game of basketball
in the gymnasium Friday by 12
points.

Anyone could play, but the up-
perclassmen didn't feel quite up
to it. The frosh waged a hard
and winning battle against the
sophs. Everyone seemed to be
having a grand time, not having
to worry about a score for a
change and getting a chance to
warm up for the real games next
quarter. The sophomores, however
were outplayed by the freshmen.

Eight Organize
For Badminton

A brand new club was born on
campus last week when Julianne
Cook, badminton manager, and
other enthusiasts organized the
badminton club. Members are:
Ann O'Sullivan, Betty McClain,
Val von Lehe, Dot Morrison, Mary
Louise Warlick, Virginia Skinner,
Marguerite Jackson and Julianne
Cook.

The club plans to meet as a
group twice a month, and each
member is required to play bad-
minton with a fellow member for
at least one-half hour once a week.

There is a possibility that boys
from neighboring schools may par-
ticipate in some of the, games.

A tournament is being planned
for next quarter.

Turkey Tips

Play by Play

By Margaret Brewer

This is the time of year especially set aside for counting
our blessings ... to be grateful for our country, our freedom,
our homes, school and that turkey dinner on Thanksgiving
day. But there are other things for us to be thankful for
this year, and if you think this doesn't come under the head-
ing of sports, you're right except that it often takes a good
sport to survive!

Trolleys and Mudholes

First, we're thankful for the new trackless trolleys where
the only time you get a seat is when you're thrown to the
floor. And we were grateful for the square mud hole in
front of the underpass, because it made us feel our rain
boots were worth the money we invested in them.

Worms Return

We're thankful for the reappearance of the super-worms
on campus walkways. They gave the News' staff quite a
fright when they failed to show themselves earlier, for what
would we have to fall back on when news is scarce?

We're grateful for the early posting of the exam schedule
to frighten us out of our lethargy, and for inactivity week
to give us time to get active.

Unmissed Omission

We're thankful there was so much Sports news last week
that PLAY BY PLAY had to be omitted, even though just
one person missed it the author.

But most of all, I'm thankful for the chance to make up a
quarter's work during our three holidays. How about you?

C. A. Halo

By Evelyn Foster

Everyone who saw or heard
about Blackfriars production of
"Our Hearts Were Young and
Gay" last Friday will not want
to miss chapel next Tuesday. The
club will present a Christmas
play entitled, "Christmas Comes
to the Gables", by Lidian Moore.

Vespers Sunday night will con-
sist of a movie called "My Name
is Han". The picture is highly
recommended by all the girls here
who have seen it, so it will surely
be a worthwhile investment of
time.

Last Sunday night at the Ves-
per program led by Sarah Mc-
Kee, we were reminded of the
nearness of Thanksgiving, and of
the fact that although it is a hol-
iday peculiar to the American peo-
ple, others, too, feel gratitude to
God. The title of her talk was
"Africa is Thankful, Too". Sarah,
who lived in Africa the first 12
years of her life, told from person-
al experience what the "Dark Con-
tinent" has for which to be thank-
ful.

The coming of Christianity, she
told us, has been greatly instru-
mental in the slow and dangerous
process of freeing Africa from
cannibalism, slavery, torture, and
superstition. She told how Chris-
tianity also aided in improving
medical and other facilities and in
lifting the women out of their low
insignificant position to a much
higher level. Especially interest-
ing were the individual instances
she gave of native men and women
who were thankful for what God
had won for them, and the manner
in which they showed their grat-
itude.

Campus Slips

Miss Dexter dispatched some
enlightening information to an af-
ter-class discussion group last
week. The conversation turned to
marriage. "Yes," said Miss Dex-
ter, "marriage is just like going
to a banquet. Of course it's nice
to go to a banquet, but. a lot of
us have been getting along on
sandwiches for quite some time."

And then there's the unfortun-
ate sophomore who woke up in
the middle of the night with a ter-
rible cold. Hoping to relieve her
misery, she reached for the bottle
of Vick's salve on the table next
to her bed. While rubbing it on
she noticed that it seemed of a
peculiar consistency for a salve,
and immediately started feeling
the bottle. Imagine her great
consternation on feeling on the
inside, the well of a Script ink
bottle.

Here's a tip to the English de-
partment. What is wrong with
the poor people who ask their
roommates which necklace they
should wear their pearls or their
camisole; and the person who
told her lively friend to quit mak-
ing an obstacle of herself. It
could be, though, that they are
cases for the psychologists.

P. S. Don't you feel sorry for
the girls who, getting to church
late last Sunday, had to sit in a
room in the basement. The bad
part came when the minister an-
nounced that the ATO fraternity
and the Tech football team were
special visitors at church that
day and were sitting in the sanc-
tuary.

A Pause To Live

We pause this week to live. From behind books, from
beneath stacks of term papers, and from under the weight of
campus responsibilities we stagger for a breather.

We're going to glimpse the outside world, see our families
and enjoy pastimes and friends we just couldn't quite fit
into our schedules.

Tomorrow when we join people everywhere in a pause of
thanksgiving we can be particularly grateful for this pause
to live.

And with this breather comes the realization of the value
of running a schedule to avoid being run by schedule. With
or without an official holiday we could live more often.

Comet Capers

Comet Gazers Brave Cold
To View Star Spectacle

By Joann Peterson

Alarm clocks rang and about forty drowsy people be-
grudgingly emerged from cozy beds at 4 a. m. one frosty
morning last week. These shivering eager-beavers were
getting a taste of Wisconsin weather on the library steps by
4:30 a. m. They were undoubtedly wondering if a trip to
Stone Mountain to see a comet

would be worth the effort at that
unearthly hour.

Some were still muttering to
themselves a few moments later as
they packed themselves ten deep
into four cars to begin the trip to
the mountain. Urging on the
stragglers were Miss Nancy Grose-
close, Miss Priscilla Lobeck, and
Miss Edna Ruth Hanley, and above
all, Mr. and Mrs. William Cald-
er, originators of the expedition.

Excitement began to rise by the
time the crew started feeling theif
way up to the top of the mountain,
guided by the feeble flicker of a
few flashlights. The hazardous

struggle marked by only a few
bruised knees and sprained ankles
was quickly forgotten as Mrs.
Calder spotted the comet, an
amazing spectacle, hazy and 40
times as large as the moon.

The thrill of this once-in-a-life-
time spectacle was increased by
the realization that only a few
those who live in the south close
to the sun had the opportunity
of viewing the comet. At the
crucial moment on-the-spot Mrs.
Calder got a picture from her
ring side seat. Everyone may see
this picture on exhibit in the book
store.

Column Problem

Jabber Wacky

By Lee Cousar

Have you ever tried to write a column? If you haven't,
knock on wood I might ask you to be my guest editor next
week.

If writing a column consisted only of the actual writing,
one whole night a week might not be completely wasted,
but since it also consists of get-

ting an idea farewell hours!

The search for the idea usually
begins in the writer's mind, giving
it a very limited field. Each week
I and myself go through a very
familiar Professor Quiz program,
asking and answering the same
old questions. First, has anything
funny happened this week? Ans-
wer, no. Second, has anything
happened this week??

After this brief monologue, I
usually weigh and consider the
column possibilities of each class
I take, and of each person I know,
and then if I still have no ideas,
I become aha! a roving pest.

Surely, I tell myself, some
friend has something of interest
that she has been longing to see
in print.

As I approach a room down the
hall, I hear a scream "It's Leo!"
and a mad scramble. When I
enter the room, it is surprisingly
empty, but I don't wait for the in-
habitants to return because there
is definitely something eerie about
the room. I find myself unable to
determine whether it is the human

feet sticking out from under the
bed or the eyes peering through
the top of the closet door. At
any rate, when the bed clothes
rise up and go next door, I follow
their example and depart.

Next I go up on the second
floor to a room with three inhab-
itants, since three minds are bet-
ter than one. There I am given
a warm welcome until I ask for
a column idea. After 45 minutes
of stone-clod silence, I realize that
they are the contemplative type
and would probably rather I left
them alone to mull over my prob-
lem. When an hour and a half
later I return to be met by the
same silence, I realize that I will
have to look elsewhere. Maybe
they will be able to give me a sug-
gestion next week.

And so my search continues,
but always with the same results.
Either I am met by an empty
room always lighted, but still
empty or I encounter a similar
contemplative silence. Therefore,
my friends, it is due wholly to
lack of student cooperation that
you must put up with this stuff!

United States Seeks End
Of Red Blockade In Berlin

By Jane Efiird

The western nations' plan for proceeding with west-
ern Germany ran into what appeared to be major obstacles
last week. Military Law No. 75 of the United States and
British military governments announced the decartelization
of 26 Ruhr companies. This law also turned over nominal
ownership of industry to German

trustees until a future government
can decide whether industry
should be socialized or under pri-
vate ownership.

The Anglo-American plan is
that by temporarily settling the
ownership question a greater ef-
fort will be expected by both man-
agement and workers. They ad-
vocate the building up of Germany
to offer resistance to Russia. The
French bitterly protested this de-
cision. They want ownership of
Ruhr industry to be vested in an
international authority in order to
weaken Germany effectively and
permanently. The French feel
that a strong Germany will again
prove dangerous to her.

Support Appeal

Only a few hours after the
United States, Great Britain and
France ha*?! rejected all sugges-
tions to settle the Berlin crisis
until the Soviet blockade is lifted,
UN Secretary-General Trygve Lie
and General Assembly President
Herbert V. lEvatt issued another
appeal. They urged the western
nations to give full support to the
efforts of Security Council Presi-
dent Juan Bramuglia to mediate
the dispute. The letter was coldly
received by the British and the
Americans who reiterated their
stand that iho blockade must be
lifted before negotiations begin.

In the UN Political Committee
debate on disarmament, Andrei
Vyshinsky charged the United
States wiih preparing a Pearl Har-
bor for the U. S. S. R. A two-

day Yugoslav filibuster sought to
stop adoption of a resolution con-
demning Albania, Bulgaria and
Yugoslavia for aiding the Greek
rebellion.

Negeb Conflict

A UN subcommittee endorsed
orders establishing a line betweer
Israeli and Egyptian forces in the
Negeb Desert. The order seemed
likely to fail. Israeli has refused
to accept its conditions unless
forced by UN arms. This seemed
unlikely because of United States'
opposition to UN sanctions.

In Paris Secretary of State Mar-
shall was planning to return to^
Washington for conference with
President Truman. One of the
problems they are expected to dis-
cuss is China. In a report to the
Senate Appropriations Committee,
former Sen. D. Worth Clark stat-
ed that the U. S. must send both
.arms and money to China or else
lose the entire Far East to Com-
munism.

Claims Cloud Facts

In China rival claims clouded
what was really happening. Chi-
nese Communists asserted that
Suchow was completely isolated.
The Nationalists claimed a major
victory on this front. Neutral ob-
servers eyed reports with reserve
and went ahead with plans for the
evacuation of American civilians.

Visions of Merits

By Dot Medlock
The wind was blowing all around,
And trees were bent with fright ;
When from my window I beheld
A most amazing sight.
A little man with a snow white beard,
All dressed in a suit of red,
Had driven his reindeer to the top of Main,
Just as I was going to bed.
He gave a glance to left and right,
With a finger on his nose,
Then lost no time and filled his pack,
(Just as the story goes!)
I thought of dolls and bikes and trains,
And lighted Christmas trees
Then from his sleigh, I saw him take,
Not toys, but A's and B's
He must have known I was watching him,
For he waved as if to say,
He wished for all of Agnes Scott,
A happy Christmas day!

Harri s Angels
Present Story
Of Christmas

By Peggy Penuel

"Angels we have heard on high,

Sweetly singing o'er the plain."

French Carol.

Miss Muriel Harn, teacher of
German, makes a hobby of col-
lecting Christmas figures, espec-
ially angels, from the many in-
teresting places in Germany
which she has visited. Her carv-
ings are representations of man's
attempt to reproduce the angels
who sang on the hills of Galilee,
on that first Christmas.

One of the most interesting of
the angelic figures is Coelestina,
the starsweeeper, whose purpose
it was to clean the heavens of
shooting stars. One day, as the
story goes, a star got out of reach
and strayed to the earth, where
she followed it. A farmer found
her and clipped off her wings so
that she could never return. Co-
elestina, clad in blue with yellow
feathered hair, sweeps her stars
on Miss Harn's shelves, a refugee
from her native Stuttgard.

There is also a manger scene
from southern Germany, delicate-
ly carved in the Barogue style of
art. This stands close to another
manger scene of a different sort
from Nurenburg. The black
king, one of the three kings of
the ancient story, is made with
an attempt at humor which is not
found anywhere in the other
scene.

The small, white-robed angels
from Munich hang on the Christ-
mas tree which Miss Harn puts up
every year, along with other cher-

Dear Parents,

To begin with I send many
hearty greetings. I am still in

For two months I was in hospital.
I had an operation. Now I am
back in the Establishment, but
I can't walk as I have a plaster.
I am too small to know how to
write and I don't attend school
yet. When I will go to school I
will learn to write. I feel quite
happy in our home. I look at the
picture books. I play with my
schoolmates and so the time goes
by. I went to the circus and it
was very pleasant. I saw the an-
imals and horses that danced and
rope dancers.

Dear parents, an elder school-
mate writes this letter for me.
Please don't be angry about it.
When I know how to write I will
write to you a long letter. The

Agnes Scott went home for Thanksgiving.

She attended Thanksgiving services with her family. She
listened to the church choir sing the anthem which they had
sung every Thanksgiving for thirty years. And she loved
it because it had always given her chill bumps. She saw the
people of a community, heads "

bowed, humble and united in
prayer and in praise.

Auld Lang Syne
Everywhere she went she was
welcomed by friends and acquain-
tances. Some one in the college
crowd had a get-together. It was
woriderful to see everybody again
and catch up on all the news:
"Jane and Dot went Chi Omega.
Isn't that grand!", "Bob made the
varsity debate team." Conver-
sational topics ranged from the
silly to the serious. "Spanish!
Why Russian's the language we
should be learning now."

"Naw, I think I'll learn a little*
Cherokee and head for the Oke-
fenokee."

"Get me a dime and a coat
hanger and I'll show you that
trick."

"Tell me about this World Fed-
eralist plan you're pushing. Isn't
it a little idealistic?"

"Ralph brought his fiance. She's
O. K.! He can really pick 'em."

"Going back for the Tech
game?"

Tinkles of Xmas

She talked over Christmas plans
with her friends and family. And
there was always the inevitable:
"After graduation, what?" to dis-
cuss with her mother and father.

She dropped by to see a friend
who is getting married Christmas.
She admired her beautiful trou-
seau, her wedding presents, and
wondered that she should be so
calm.

When she attended a football
game at the high school and saw
the spirit of that group she was re-

minded of those good ole carefree
days. And she wished but just
for a moment that she could be
back in high school.

All But 211

Of course she couldn't quite
crowd everything into those few
days at home. That 211 book so
carefully tucked away in her suit-
case was never touched. And the
term paper was forgotten. She
didn't finish the argyles nor make
out her Christmas list. There
wasn't time for that long-promised
visit with Miss Lillie.

It was all over before she had
gotten used to being at home.
And it was time to grab a turkey
sandwich, kiss the grandbabies
once around and make a dash for
the station being consoled only
by the thought of an approaching
Christmas season.

While the memory of a tummy full of turkey lingers on, 1
thought I'd get and give "you all" a bird's eye view of one of
the most colossal campus capers ever planned by A. A. and
its associates for chapel tomorrow. (I get a bonus for every
adjective).

This "amusin' but conf usin' " caper is really a preview of
what is to come a glimpse of a sort of Third World War
where the weapons will be a mixture of Atomic power and
laughing gas.

But enough of this, I've been pledged to strict secrecy by
the A. A. Fifth Column, and am not allowed to hint that
;here'll be a lot of noise in chapel Thursday whistles, com-
mands, screeches, complaints, announcements, wit and other
surprise manuevers. Be sure to come and peek behind the
A. A. curtain, and we guarantee you'll have to IRON out
the crinkles in the corners of your eyes and it won't be
from seeing RED!

Also at this time two outstanding members of the order
of L. P. I. S. (Loyal Participants In Sports) will be awarded
the (censored) plaque and (censored) stick and pens for
faithful devotion, outstanding performance, and victorious
conduct in the field of (censored).

Meditation Terminates Strike;
Terms Include Wage Hike

By Jane Efurd

The 18-day Atlantic coast longshoremen's strike was de-
clared officially over on Saturday of last week. The agree-
ment was effected by the Federal mediation and conciliation
service. The settlement had to be approved by the New
York Shipping association and ratified by members of the
AFL International Longshore-

men's association. Voting on the
Pacific coast continued through
Sunday.

Pay Increases

Terms of the agreement include
a 13-cent increase in straight pay,
a 19-cent rise in overtime pay, a
one-week vacation after 800 hours
of work, two weeks after 1,350
hours of work and a welfare fund
retroactive to Aug. 21.

In Paris Charles de Gaulle ex-
pressed French resentment and
disapproval of British-American
Military Law 75. The plan is to
transfer ownership of Ruhr in-
dustry to temporary German trus-
tees until a future government can
decide the question of private or
public ownership.

de Gaulle Threatens

Charles de Gaulle stated that
France would withdraw from the
Marshall Plan rather than cooper-
ate in a European union built
around a dominant Germany. He
said that the Marshall Plan will be
very helpful to France and to
Europe if it does not lead to the
sacrifice of the future of France
and of Europe.

Concerning China, Secretary of
State George C. Marshall an-
nounced that the administration
is aware of the critical situation
that exists there. Future policy
will be determined after a decision
is reached on how deeply this
country can afford to involve her-
self in the Chinese War. The
balance of China aid against
available supplies and against
other commitments must also be
considered.

" Across from Depot"

Easy Quips

Jabber Wacky

By Easy Beale (Guest Columnist)

This article was begun Wednesday, November 24th. Hav-
ing just read Lee Cousar's article of last week (and I quote,
"Have you ever tried to write a column? If you haven't,
knock on wood I might ask you to be my guest editor next
week.") I, in a hushed whisper, yelled my congratulations
to the said Miss Cousar across a

library table which supported our
mutual elbows and books.

Propinquity was against me.
She informed me that I could r oar
my hair (though I really had it
done at Allen's) over the mon-
strous space allowed Jabber
Wacky. Overwhelmingly flatter-
ed, I consented, and began think-
ing of an idea as I unwound my
twisted limb.

Thursday Thoughts

On Thursday I probed whoever
shared the drumstick with me at
all of the dozens of feasts I at-
tended. Freshmen are kind to
neglected seniors. Somehow the
conversation always evolved to
frivolous matters like the football
game, some dance, or dates. I
was instantly out of my realm and
retired.

Campus by Candlelight

By Saturday I had purchased
typing paper and was earnestly
ready to journalize. What hap-
pened? Yes, you who were far
from the reach, the lights went
out. It was not just in Inman,
but over the whole campus, which
makes my alibi authentic. Candle-
light just naturally calls for ghost
stories and reminiscing. Contin-
ued until Sunday.

Friday, strolling by the library,
I met a senior who plans to go to
sunny California next year. I
immediately quipped, "Westward
Ha", and she immediately answer-
ed, "Westward HE". Our being
doubled up on the ground in hys-
terics naturally drew a crowd.
Warped though they were, having
been scribbling about Scriblerus
and chasing Chaucer references,
they joined our guffaws, and alto-
gether we managed to do away
with alloted time.

coming events enhanced the atmosphere of that usually most
unbearable school week, the first

one after the holidays.

The main topics of conversa-
tion have beeen Junior Joint and
the Cotillion dance which is sche-
duled for February. Questions
and hints about what the juniors
have chosen for the theme for
their big event have been con-
stantly discussed, but the juniors
refused to divulge their secret
until a later date.

The new quarter brought an ad-
dition to the freshman class. She
is Therese Dokes, a former Uni-
versity of Alabama student from
Columbus, Georgia. A new spe-
cial student is Sophia Andiano-
polou from Atlanta.

Among the opening events of
the quarter was the open house
at which junior sponsors enter-
tained their sponsorees on Jan-
uary 7 from 3:30-5:30 p. m. Ap-
proximately 150 girls relived their
Christmas holidays while chat-
ting with friends over coffee and
doughnuts in Murphey Candler,
which was decorated with noin-
settas, ivy and white candles.

Frank Morris and Ann Geb-
hardt were co-chairmen in charge
of the entertainment. Faculty
members who attended were class
sponsors: Dr. and Mrs. Henry
Robinson, Dr. and Mrs. William
Joe Frierson, Miss Betty Bowman,
and Miss Carrie Scandrett. Mrs.
Elizabeth Plumber Carter, Miss

The telescope, according to Wil-

and astronomy, will enable ob-
servers to study stars 14,000 times
dimmer than the naked eye can
see and will bring into view one
hundred million celestial bodies.
"Five thousand are visible with
the naked eye," he added.

Original plans for an observ-
atory on the campus had been
incorporated in the proposed new
science building, but the telescope
purchased so far exceeded expec-
tations that plans have been
draivvn for a separate observatory

The project is endorsed by the
council of presidents of the Uni-

felt that development of this pro-
ject, which they have been con-

Agnes Scott College in view of
the recent work done by Mr. Cal-

the University Center who holds

Classes Earn
New Privileges
For Dating

Sophomore andj freshmen entered
the new quarter with increased
social privileges from Student
government.

Freshmen on Thursday and
sophomores on Tuesday voted in
special house meetings to accept
the dating privileges and accom-
panying responsibilities offered by
the Student government.

Dean Explains

Miss Carrie Scandrett, dean of
students, explained to freshmen
that "increased responsibilities
are given to each class as it shows
ability and maturity to assume
them." The classes were recom-
mended for the privileges by a
committee of Student govern-
ment representatives and faculty
members who have worked with
the classes during the fall quarter
Freshmen

Changes in freshmen dating
rules as explained by Miss Scan-
drett are:

1. Single dating in the after-
noon on the trolley.

2. Double dating in the even-
ing on the trolley with any board-
ing student.

3. Double dating in a car at
any time with any boarding stu-
dent, provided they are going to
a destination and keep within a
restricted area prescribed by Stu-
dent government.

4. Senior chaperonage is no
longer necessary unless a freshman
wishes to date in a car outside the
restricted area or wishes late per-
mission.

Sophomores

Sophomores received the priv-
ilege of single dating until 11 p. m.
with the understanding that no
plans can be charged after leav-
ing the campus.

Miss Scandrett reminded the
groups 'that the privileges were
group privileges and would auto-
matically be taken away if mis-
used by any individual.

"A most interesting and in many

Two students from Alabama col-

Sunday night attending classes,
lectures, activities, and learning
every phase of Agnes Scott life.

Senior Sara Carr, retail and

Curriculum conference sponsored
by Alabama college Student gov-

ference, they explained, was held
last fall and is the first one of its
type to be organized on any cam-

The college suspended classes
and students gathered in their
major departments for discussion,
comments and criticism of the
college academic and extra-cur-
riculum activities. All discussion

Wilburn Attends
Athletic Meeting
At Columbia U.

There was no "week-between-
Christmas-and-Nevv Year's" let
down for Miss Lewellyn Wilburn,
head of the physical education de-
partment, who traveled stream-
lineward to fabulous "IF] ole' New
York" to attend the board meet-
ing of the National Section on
Women's Athletics at Columbia
university during the holidays.

Board members from all over
the country met for two days to
discuss the standards for girls'
and women's sports. It is this or-
ganization that guides the develop-
ment of rules for women's ath-
letics. The boards are made up of
chairmen of the different sports,
and these chairmen report on the
activities of their particular sport.

Since pleasure conventionally
follows business, Miss Wilburn
took advantage of the opportun-
ity to enjoy New York, and re-
mained several additional days to
take in plays on famous Broad-
way, the Christmas show at the
Music Hall, and to view works in
the Modern Museum of Art.

Attempts to shop were some-
what hindered when New York
weather turned California-ish and
sprinkled a little of that state's
due eastwardway.

something about the sport, but
wish to improve their technique.
A group from Emory will also at-

wasn't going to the trouble of making any. Instead, I
started off the New Year in the usual way no notebook, no

I promptly signed the resolution
and then they took the gun out
of my back. With heroic deter-
mination I bade adieu to all
thoughts of shmooes, king-sized

plaints against the Georgia Power

although everything was "Jake in
'48" everything will be "Fine in
'49" (or at least everything bet-

Stephenson Stresses Need
Of Education for Tolerance

By Helen Edwards

"The greatest factor in improving race relations in the
south would be to educate the white man," said Wendell H.
Stephenson, emminent historian and authority on the south,
in an interview preceding his lecture in Presser Hall Tuesday
night,

Dr. Stephenson, who is profes-
sor of southern history and chair-
man of the Division of Social
Sciences at Tulane university and
managing editor of the "Missis-
sippi Valley Historical Review,"
expounded his statement by say-
ing that the proposed social leg-
islation would not greatly affect
the south because lynching is dis-
appearing and the poll tax is of
no great significance.

Supreme Court decisions, he
said, may contribute in a small
way toward curing wrongs in the
south. "Being a native of In-
diana and having spent 24 of my
48 years in the north and 24 in
the south," said Dr. Stephenson,
"I believe I am able to be pretty
objective."

The University Center of At-
lanta, under whose auspices Dr.
Stephenson appeared at Emory
and at Agnes Scott, was praised
by him. He also said he was en-
couraged by the outlook on the
future of graduate schools in the
south, citing Tulane and Emory
in the field of southern history
especially.

At the present Dr. Stephenson
is writing "The History of South-
ern History," which is a graphical
study of great southern histor-
ians, southern historical societies
and southern historical material.
Several chapters appeared in his-

AS Students Bring
Cheer to Children

In the heart of the downtown
slum area on Friday night, De-
cember 16, a small group of Bap-
tist students saw the spirit of
Christmas come to light the faces
of 100 small boys and girls and
a few work-weary parents.

Christmas songs and a film of
the traditional Christmas story
began the program.

As excitement mounted, the stu-
dents distributed refreshments to
each of the guests. Then in came
Santa himself with a bag of toys
for every child. In addition, each
child received fruits, nuts, candy,
a wool sweater, a knitted cap and
mittens.

Agnes Scott girls had charge of
the entertainment on a program
participated in by Emory, Georgia
Tech, High Museum, Georgia Bap-
tisl Hospital nursing school and
the Southern Business school.
These student groups in Atlanta
raised over $300 for the party.

torical journals and he hopes to
publish the complete works by
1951.

He is also editor of a 10 volume
co-operative work of southern
history, three volumes of which
have already been published.
Previously Dr. Stephenson has
written several biographies of
southern figures and several
works on different phases of
southern history.

In his lecture Tuesday night,
"Wake up, South; the Future
Can Be Yours," Dr. Stephenson
emphasized the fact that the
south "has an opportunity to oc-
cupy a much higher place than it
has in the last hundred years in
cultural and intellectual activities.
In order to do this, it will have
to have greater liberal colleges
and better endowments; profits
from industry should contribute
toward the building of libraries
and public institutions.

C. A. Halo

By Evelyn Foster

Beginning with the second pub-
lication of the new year, Fay Ball,
day student representative to C.A.
Cabinet, will take over as your
Halo columnist. (Do I hear sighs-
of relief?) The Cabinet has a
lot of confidence in Fay, and I
am sure that she will do a splen-
did job of keeping you posted on
the latest C. A. news. Welcome,
Fay!

At vespers Sunday night, B.
Tart Bell of the Society of
I r ends will speak to us concern-
ing the Friends' summer work for
youth. The service will be held
in Maclean auditorium at the
iisuiil time, 6:30 p. in.

After the wonderful build-up
given last Sunday by Hunt Mor-
ris, we expect the C. A. library
to become increasingly popular.
Hunt reviewed for us a very good
example of what that library con-
tains an anthology of Christian
literature called "Fellowship of
the Saints" and edited by Thomas
Kepler.

As indicated by the fact that the
book gives us a collection of the
writings of the saints of all ages,
the book is very long, but Hunt
siunmed up its purpose and
thought quite neatly. She read
for us representative passages
which illustrated one particular
quality common to all saints that
of humility.

We do hope that everyone will
take advantage of the C. A. li-
brary. In addition to an already
long list of fine books, a number
of new ones has been added to the
shelves this year. Come to the
C. A. room in Murphey Candler
and take a look!

Campus Slips

The Christmas holidays certain-
ly left their imprint on Agnes
Scotters. Just the' other day, one
poor soul was busy studying in the
library. She remarked to a friend
near by that her pen had run out
of ink, and slowly pulled herself
out of the chair. When her friend
next looked up, the girl had her
pen open and was heading straight
to the water fountain.

Another example of the dire
effects of the Christmas spirit
hang-over showed up in the girl
who finished her meal, got up,
picked up her tray, and calmly
started "out the door of the dining
room.

m

A senior leaving one of her first
winter quarter classes weighted
down by a stack of note-book
paper turned to her companion
and remarked,

"I certainly took voluptuous
notes today."

Angie Anderson walked into
Dot Morrison's room after vaca-
tion and, noticing that the ceiling
had been repaired, remarked,

"Hmm, I see you got plastered
over the holidays."

Suspended Animation

We are living in an age of strange phenomena, and Agnes
Scott has seen its share of unusual sights. Last quarter we
viewed a comet. Last Saturday we saw students walking
to lunch from their one o'clock classes.

We marvel at this latest freak of nature and challenge any-
one to henceforth contest that "truth is stranger than fic-
tion".

Several theories have been advanced on the possible cause
of this upset of ordinary Agnes Scott behavior. One psy-
chologist suggested that perhaps an alien object, such as il-
lustrious visitors on campus, had halted the stampede tem-
porarily. This statement we doubt due to the numerous
white crosses behind the May Day Dell in memory of guests
who unsuspectingly turned the wrong way, toward But-
trick.

Another more probable theory states that students were
observing a day of sanity in respect to those who fell Friday
night in the Big Crush before the concert bus doors.

The most astounding theory advanced said that possibly
Agnes Scott students were trying to look gracious. The au-
thor of this theory was immediately expelled from Agnes
Scott Psychologists Unanimous for his excessive idealism and
lack of understanding of A. S. C. human nature.

The News does not attempt to interpret but can only re-
port and comment on such unusual events. ..From our ob-
servation it was amazing, spectacular, and positively lady-
like.

Attractive Athenian Provides
Added International Glamour

By Polly Anna Phillips

Sophia Andrianopoulou is the latest addition to Agnes
Sfcott's international flavor. She hails from Athens, Greece,
where she attended the University of Athens. Though she
had never studied English before coming to America, she is
gradually learning to understand and speak our queer lang-

uage.

she intends to tell her friends

Sophia was born in Kalamata, J that jt is a college of renown ..

Greece, but has lived for the past
five years in Athens. Her father
works for the mail* service there,
while her brother is an officer in
the Greek army.

She plans to return to Greece
in two or three years, but when
asked whether she would like to
marry an American boy and stay
in the United States, she replied
that she might like that. While
she is in this country, Sophia is
staying with her sister and broth-
er-in-law. She says that she likes
Agnes Scott very much.

When she returns to Greece

In the line of courses, Sophia is
taking integral calculus, quanti-
tative analysis, freshman English
and speech. She wants to get her
degree in chemistry, her "major"
at the University of Athens.
1 Sophia seemed reticent to talk
about the war. She did say, how-
ever, that she was in the sub-
urbs of Athens at the time.

Pretty, twenty-year old Sophia
is a charming person who laughs
when one tries to pronounce her
last name, or when she has to
look up a word in her English-
Greek dictionary.

'Magnolia' to Reign Queen of Fun, Charity

Council Unifies Charity Drive
With Junior Joint Proceeds

By Cathie Davis

One contribution to charities will suffice this year, ac-
cording to an announcement by Nancy Parks, chairman of
representative council.

Whatever Agnes Scott gives to the World Student Service
Fund, The Red Cross, or the Community Chest will be lumped
into one sum and will be received
through Junior Joint donations.
This sum will not include con-
tributions to those charities which
are supported by voluntary dona-
tions instead of drives.

Council Unifies Drive

This plan has been put into
effect by Representative council
after the student body last spring
voted to combine various campus
charity drives into a unified,
purse-emptying effort.

Representative council, which
was to plot details of the one
big drive, decided to ask for the
lump donation through the com-
petitive Junior Joint program in
which each class seeks to make
their own Magnolia queen of the
Show Boat by raising the largest
amount of money. Faculty and
guests at Junior Joint will also
contribute to crown their choices
for queen.

1949 Goal Increases

This year's goal for total con-
tributions must necessarily be
high since last year's separate
goals amounted to more than
$2,000. Of this amount, $1,000
went to W. S. S. F., $600 to the
Red Cross and $500 to the Com-
munity Chest.

Millie Flournoy, Evelyn Foster,
Jo Heinz, and Cathie Davis, rep-
resentatives from Student govern-
ment, Christian association, Ath-
letic association, and The News,
have been appointed by repres-
sentative council to serve as pub-
licity committee for the combined-
charities drive.

AS to Name
May Court

Students will vote in assembly
tomorrow for the 1949 May Court
from the nominations that they
made in student meeting last
Thursday.

From the senior class will come
the May Queen, her Maid of Hon-
or and three attendants. Seniors
nominated are Mimi Arnold, Ju-
liann-e Cook, Betty Blackmon,
Mim Steele, Nancy Parks, Mary
Frances Jones, Dot Quillian, New-
ell Turner, Charlsie Smith and
Elizabeth Williams.

The junior class will have four
representatives in the May Court.
Their nominations include Cama
Clarkson, Beryl Crews, Diana
Durden, Helen Edwards, Norah
(Continued on page 3)

Changes For 'Hamlet'

The time of the performance
has been changed from 8:30 to
8 p. m. All students and guests
are requested to be in their
seats at this time. Late com-
ers will not be seated until the
intermission after the first act.

Lecture association also re-
quests students, who do not in-
tend to use their tickets, to re-
turn them Thursday from 1:45
to 2:45 p. m. or Friday from
1:45 to 3:15 p. m. Student tic-
kets cannot be used for guests.

Webster Hamlet'
Set for Saturday

The curtain rises on a stream-lined and almost full length
"Hamlet" at 8 p. m. Saturday night.

Sponsored by the Public Lecture association, the play will
last somewhat over three hours and is divided into two acts,
with a 10-minute intermission after the first act.

Margaret Webster's production

of Shakespeare's play will star
Alfred Ryder as Hamlet. Carol
Goodner as Hamlet's mother, the
queen, and Joseph Holland as
Hamlet's step-father will support
Mr. Ryder.

The actors and direction of the
play have been under the guidance
of Miss Webster, who has been
listed as one of America's 10 out-
standing women for distinguished

work as theatrical producer.

Miss Webster is the daughter
of Dame May Whitty and Ben
Webster, famous Shakespearean
actors, and has appeared in Shake-
speare roles herself.

John Mason Brown, drama crit-
ic for the New York Post praises
Miss Webster's "profound com-
prehension of the text of Hamlet.

Girls Board
'Show Boat'
February 5

Junior Joint will bring to life
Edna Ferber's "Show Boat" in the
persons of Captain Andy and ihis
crew of entertainers on the Float-
ing Palace, Saturday, February 5.
Tickets will go on sale Monday.

Mary Louise Warlick, chairman,
announced this week that all dec-
orations, costumes, and skits of
Junior Joint will follow out the
Showboat theme with The Nomads
supplying the music for dancing.

The doors of the gym will be
open at 8 p. m. for the presenta-
tion of each class' Magnolia and
her escort. Magnolia is the name
given this year to the queens
picked by the four classes as their
southern belle.

The identy of the queens will re-
main secret until they are pre-
sented by skits in chapel Wednes-
day, February 2. Rivalry will
then run high as classes vie to
get the most votes in the form of
pennies for their nomination. The
queen whose class raises the most
money will reign over the festiv-
ities.

A table may be reserved for
four people. All profits including
money raised for the queens will
go to the combined charities drive.
Junior Joint will be the only op-
portunity the campus will have to
contribute to these charity organ-
izations.

SG Reveals
Bi-Quarterly
Budget Plan

A new system of budgeting the
student activities fund was ap-
proved by the budget committee
last week when it met to discuss
a possible revision of the old sys-
tem.

Under the new system organiz-
ations will receive their shares of
the budget quarterly rather than
bi-yearly as had been done under
the old system; Formerly, also,
shares have been determined on
a percentage basis, but hereto-
fore they will depend more nearly
on the individual organization's
actual needs.

Details are. to be worked out
by the committee and administra-
tive advisors in time for the new
system to begin operating spring
quarter when the new committee
meets. This quarter organiza-
tions are operating on limited
budgets to facilitate the conver-
sion in the spring.

The committee feels that the
new system will help the treasurer
of each organization on campus
to better plan the year's budget
by giving her an idea in the spring
of how much money her organiza-
tion will be allotted rather than
waiting until September, since
most fall quarter plans are made
in the summer.

McCain, Alston
Visit New York
For College Forum

Colleges caution against over
expansion, reports Dr. James R.
McCain. Dr. McCain and Dr.
Wallace M. Alston have just re-
turned from the 35th annual
meeting of the Association of
American colleges at the Hotel
Commodore in New York city.

Dr. McCain says that most of
the colleges seem to feel that
harder times are ahead since there
will be fewer students than be-
fore.

He explained that his main pur-
pose in attending the meeting was
to introduce Dr. Alston to the of-
ficers of the Association and to
give him the opportunity of meet-
ing as many important education-
al leaders as possible.

Membership in the association,
which totals 800 colleges and uni-
versities from all races in every
state of the union, is open to any
college with a four year curricu-
lum. According to Dr. McCain
the association is not an accred-
iting association, but rather a
forum of colleges.

Although he has been greatly
interested in this organization's
progress and was its president in
the years 1936-37, Dr. McCain
has not attended the meetings in
recent years, but has sent Guerry
S. Stukes in his place.

attending a play, is planned by
Miss Roberta Winter, instructor
of English, for her dramatics
group with its secretary Lorna
Wiggins.

The music group under Mrs.
Rebekah Clarke's direction will

Play By Play

By Margaret Brewer

To all students who are contemplating joining Agnes
Scott's Fourth Estate, The News in other words, here is a
big story that could have been lived and written by any
newspaperwoman.

It is a dissertation on how NOT to get the materials for
an article, or HOW to get the

"suffering" element all true artists
must have before they can be-
come famous or infamous.
First of all, never start work-
ing on your story
until the last
minute. To be-
gin early would
deprive you of
that thrill of
trying to beat
the deadline, and
might not set
your nerves a-
jingling. And
without jingling
nerves the coffee industry would
collapse, some nation's economic
stability might be upset, and you'd
be responsible for a national catas-
trophe.

Some might even call you a
"Red". Why, everyone's so com-
munistic conscious that just the
other day someone was asked if
"The Red Shoes" was about Rus-
sia.

So you gotta' be careful, and
start your story late.

Saturday Late

A good day to start being late
is Saturday. It is a proven fact
that not a soul you'll need to con-
tact for information will be on
campus after one o'clock Sat-
urday. But you think that pos-
sibly the person you want may
have gotten trampled in the off-
campus stampede, and is lying,
swathed in bandages, in the infir-
mary.

But even if they were, you
couldn't get in. And if you could
get in, they'd likely have adhe-
sive tape over their mouths, and
both arms in slings so that you
readily see they'll be of no help.

Phone Switch

The only thing left to do is
make a tour of all the likely
places it is unlikely you'll find
persons of news interest. By now
the deadline is rushing forward at
turtle-neck speed, and walking
would be too much effort. The
solution is to make the tour by
telephone. The only drawback is
you don't know which dorm the
people live in. So you pester the
switchboard operator at regular
two minute intervals.

If you do find somebody with
information, and survive the
shock, you hasten to write the
story, being sure to spell the
names wrong, or even get them
mixed up in best How-Not-to-
Win-Friends-and-Influence-People
fashion.

Mary and Martha

For two quarters the sports ed-
itor has been writing Martha War-
lick when she meant Mary Louise
Warlick. 'Course, the fact that
most people just call Mary Louise
"Warlick" may have something
to do with it, and it was some-
what encouraging to find that
Martha Warlick was not just a
figment of misinformed imagin-
ation, but a real live person on
campus. I do humbly apologize
for getting the names mixed up,
and assure you it'll probably hap-
pen again in the future.

The story is written now in its
complete and inaccurate form,
the printer is tearing his hair out
over it and you settle down until
next Saturday. Think you have

porter? Send your application

Pearls of Wisdom Fall
From Lips of Maximaniac

By Lee Cousar

Have you ever tried rooming with a proverb lover,
one who has a maxim for every occasion? Take it from me,
it's an experience.

It seems that the father of one Agnes Scott student per-
mitted his daughter to take from the walls of his store
numerous placards, inscribed with

wisdom borrowed from Confu-
cius, the Kalamazoo Vegetable
Parchment Company, Aunt Je-
mima, and numerous others.

When our student returned to
school, she not only redecorated
her soft peach
room in bright
purple, red and
green proverbs
but she also mem-
orized them.

Can you im-
agine the life of
her roommate,
subjected to all
this wisdom of
the ages during
every waking moment?
you could visualize one day in this
cultured existence.

As the alarm sounds in the be-
fore-daylight hours, both room-
mates cling stubbornly to their
pillows, waiting for the other to
turn it off. Suddenly a form rears
up from one bed and quotes in a
stern voice:: "COOPERATE. RE-
MEMBER THE BANANA. EV-
ERY TIME IT LEAVES THE
BUNCH IT GETS SKINNED";
and a humble creature creeps
across the floor to turn off the
clock.

Shortly thereafter, the un-pro-
verbial roommate, gazing out the
window, complains about the m-

Perhaps

clement weather. Her complaint
is answered in a chanting mono-
tone:

AS A RULE, A MAN IS A FOOL,
WHEN IT'S HOT, HE WANTS

IT COOL,
WHEN IT'S COOL HE WANTS

IT HOT,
ALWAYS WANTING WHAT IS

NOT.

Finally the tortured roommate
escapes to her classes, where she
receives most un-encf>uraging
news concerning her academic af-
fairs. Her woebegone face is
cheered by a reminder from ever-
quoting roommate that "HAPPI-
NESS IS NOT THE END OF
LIFE; CHARACTER IS."

And so goes the day, filled with
numerous such helpful reminders.
"YOU CAN'T BE A HOWLING
SUCCESS BY SIMPLY HOWL-
ING", says Confucius II to her
roommate after listening to a
lengthy discourse on the problems
of job-hunting.

"EVEN A FISH WOULDN'T
GET INTO TROUBLE IF HE
KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT" re-
minds our fount of wisdom upon
hearing the boner her pal pulled.

But the most comforting of all
these proverbs is that one most
frequently quoted and), indeed;
most true "EVEN THE BEST
FAMILY TREE HAS ITS SAP".

List on the basis of their fall
quarter work.

Mr. Stukes announced that the
faculty authorized the Dean's List

C. A. Halo

By Fay Ball

Newspaper work is somewhat
new to me, but I hope you will
bear with me until I learn the
ropes. Evelyn Foster has done
such wonderful work with the
column that I feel somewhat hes-
itant about following in her
footsteps. However, here goes!

B. Tart Bell of the Society of
Friends spoke at vespers Sunday
night on the Friends' summer 1
service work for young people-
especially college students. This
work is under the sponsorship of
the American Friends' Service
committee which won the Nobel
Peace prize last year.

Designed toward reconciling op-
posing groups and bringing peace,
not just relief, this organization
sponsors work camps of eight or
more weeks in Europe, Mexico
and the United States. Groups
of voluntary students go into
areas of great social tension and
explore the possibility of bringing
opposing groups into friendship
and understanding.

Groups also cooperatively work
together in learning about indus-
trial work, caring for the mentally
ill, and discussing international
problems through seminars and
institutes.

The purpose of this work is to
stimulate students' motivations of
good will and help them to realize
the essential unity of all mankind.

Campus Slips

Spring fever has made a three
point landing on our campus, and
has left us not only drooly eyed
but also a little weak (physically
and mentally). It seems in a
certain life saving class the res-
cuer just couldn't make it across
the pool, and, as a result, the vic-
tim rescued the rescuer.

That was a physical effect and
this is a mental one which hap-
pened to a visitor and a student
during the same meal. They for-
got to take the wrappers off their
ice cream before putting on the
chocolate syrup.

A sophomore when asked if she
had anything witty for this column
replied, "Come back on Friday!
I'll have had all by then."

Two Oglethorpe students were
being shown the center of our
campus in all its "springtime
glory". Said one to the other,
"Gee, I wish we had a wreck-
tangle like this."

P. S. Let's blame this on spring
fever too.

Practice Teacher Dot Morrison
was asked by one of her pupils
who was taking a poll: *

"What advice, Miss Morrison,
would you give to young people of
today?"

Acheson Appointment Passes;
Protests Greet New Budget

By B. J. Sauer

Washington President Truman's appointment of Dean
Acheson as Secretary of State had been unanimously ap-
proved by the Senate Foreign Relations committee.

Testifying twice before the committee, the former Under-
Secretary of State cleared ^himself of a purported State De-

partment relationship with Alger
Hiss, and satisfied the law-makers
that his "get-tough" policy toward
Russia was consistent with that of
the present administration.
Truman's Budget Message

President Truman has presented
a staggering 41.9 billion dollar
budget to Congress. Half of this
sum is to be spent on the cold
war with Russia.

Proposals in the budget mes-
sage to raise the $1.5 billion, plus
increase by increasing taxes in
the middle and upper income
brackets were met by outraged
cries from the public and Congress
alike.

Also included in the message
was a recommendation to cut
down the proposed Air Force from
70 to 48 groups. This caused more
hot debate especially in the House
Armed Service committee, whose
chairman, Vinson, declared that
the 70 group force authorized by
Congress last year would not be
reduced.

Gag Rule

In the Senate the Rules com-
mittee voted to begin hearings
on rule's changes that would shut
off filibusters. A sharp fight is
indicated on any gag rule pro-
posed since the filibuster has
proved to be the South's might-
iest weapon against legislation of
President Truman's Civil Rights
Program.

President's Salary Raised

Harry Truman will be the first
beneficiary of a congressionally
approved presidential boost of
$25,000 plus a tax-free 90 thous-
and dollar expense account.

Along with the president's new
100 thousand dollar salary came
raises for Speaker Sam Rayburn
and Vice-president-elect Alvin

Barkley who will each receive
30 thousand dollar salaries plus
10 thousand dollar tax free ex-
pense accounts.

China

The Chinese crisis seemed to be
coming to a head as Nationalist
government officials hurriedly
evacuated Nanking. Approaches
to the capital were being system-
atically mopped up by the Com-
munists in what was described
as the heaviest fighting so far.

The loss of Tientsin, important
Northern industrial center, was
conceded by some govdrnmenjt
sources although the bombing
siege continued there as in Pei-
ping. The tottering Nationalist
government still refused to accept
Communists terms for surrender
which reportedly amounted to vir-
tual control of China.

London and Palestine

When Israelian anti-aircraft
fire brought down five R. A. F.
reconnaissance planes in the Mid-
East war area British Foreign
Secretary Ernest Bevin sent a
sharp note of protest to the of-
fenders.

The Israeli government, stung
by its address to "Jewish author-
ities . . . ," refused to accept the
protest and countered with the
information, later borne out by
one of the airmen involved, that
the planes were shot down over
Palestine where they were legit-
imate targets.

Despite public criticism Bevin
rushed military and naval forces
into the Mid-East area ostensibly
to protect British interests. In
the midst of this tension, Israeli
and Arab representatives met with
Mediator Ralph J. Bunche on the
Isle of Rhodes and began armis-
tice talks.

Letters Express Deep Thanks
For Christmas CARE Boxes

By Helen Edwards

Did you include in your Christmas shopping list wool
material, thread, blankets, shoes, knitting yarn, or soap to
be sent to Liselotte Kaiser or Lucie Ginger in Germany?

"No," you say. But you did. Do you remember the small
gift you gave to CARE instead of buying a gift for the dorm
Christmas party? All of Agnes

Scott did the same, and the result
was $90 for overseas Christmas
packages.

Last week Agnes Scott, through
Christian association, received let-
ters of heartfelt thanks and gen-
uine gratefulness from the alum-
nae in Germany who received
those packages.

Frau Kaiser writes, " I won-
der if you and your friends can
realize only to a certain extent
what it means for us to get just
now such proofs of real Chris-
tian love and humanitarian feel-
ing as you gave us by sending
those boxes with clothes!

As each one arrived we got
more and more speechless. It
seems to me so very poor only to
'thank you so much;' but as a

matter of fact, I cannot do very
much more."

In her letter, Frau Ginger
thanks the students for sending
the boxes and for giving her "such
a wonderful opportunity to help
others."

More than that, she said, she
was very much interested in the
way the money was raised. "Be
sure that I have been telling ev-
eryone," she said. "People in an
occupied country are only too
willing to see self-interest and
business-mi ndedness in e v e r y
measure issued by the military
government, or 'the Americans',
so it is great good for them :f
they are told of the disinterested
helping and sacrifice of the peo-
ple of your country."

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GEORGIA, Wed., Jan. 26, 1949

Number 15

Newell Turner, chairman of Public Lecture association,
stands between Claudius, Joseph Holland, and Hamlet,
Alfred Ryder, who appeared in Margaret Webster's pro-
duction of "Hamlet" at Agnes Scott.

Critic Praises Overall Merit
Of 'Hamlet' Presentation

By Charlsie Smith

Margaret Webster's production of "Hamlet", sponsored
by Public Lecture association, offered the Agnes Scott com-
munity the rare privilege Saturday night of seeing Shake-
speare's most famous tragedy presented effectively.

The play moved swiftly from one scene to the next with-
out the bothersome mechanism

of super-imposed acts and scenes
as divisions. A simple and almost
bare setting, wonderfully contriv-
ed costuming, and remarkable
lighting focused all attention on
the poetry itself, and on the char-
actors which were, in general, por-
trayed with great feeling and in-
sige.

Alfred Ryder, as Hamlet, was
not completely satisfying, but
then, can 'any one Hamlet be at
one time the infinite variety of
Hamlets that members of a sin-
gle audience bring ready-made
with them to a performance of
the role?

The tenderness which he showed
Ophelia in the first part of her
prayer scene and the subsequent
anger which folowed his suspicion
of Polonius' concealment behind
the arras were well done, and
showed him at his best that is,
in portraying the lightening-like
changes of mood which character-

ize Hamlet's keen intellect, the
sensitive of his nature, and his
youth.

His acting in general, however,
was marred by an over-abundance
of emotional demonstration. As
one member of the audience point-
ed out, Hamlet's advice to the
player "... do not saw the air
too much with your hand . . . "
seemed most ironical, since his
own sawing of the air and tear-
ing of "passion to tatters" had
been marked in the first part of
the action.

Another drawback in his por-
trayal was a hesitancy in speaking
of some lines. Whether an in-
tentional part of his acting or a
haziness concerning the interpre-
tation of the lines, this fault de-
tracted from the total forceful-
ness of his interpretation. The
result of these defects was to
cheat the role of that princely dig-
nity and nobility which is always

Show Boat Paddles Way
To Campus Charity Goal

"Keep those Show Boat paddle-
wheels rolling," Nancy Parks
challenged in the student meet-
ing last Thursday when she ex-
plained the charity drive which
will be sponsored by Junior Joint.

She traced the history and de-
velopment of campus charity
drives, explaining that in pre-war
and post-war years, Agnes Scott
had conducted separate cam-
paigns for all of the larger char-
ities. However, this year the
general feeling on the campus was
to hold one large campaign.

Representative council met with
the Administrative council and
voted to combine the three large
charities W. S. S. F., Commun-
ity Chest, and Red Cross into
one big drive. The treasurers of

Christian association, Athletic as-
sociation, and Student government
recommended to the Representa-
tive council the following distrib-
ution of money:

World Student Service Fund 60%
Community Chest 20%
Red Cross 20%

The smaller charities, which are
not included in the campaign,
provide opportunities for volun-
teer donation in public places.

No numerical goal was set for
the campaign, but since there will
be three charities in one drive, it
is hoped that each student will feel
able to give three times as much
as last year. Because of the world
situation, the stress has been
placed on charity rather than class
spirit.

Rare Limerick Line Rates
Preston Family AGE Iron

By Cissie Spiro

Could Chaucer have completed a sentence in 25 words or
less? Could Shakespeare have told you why he preferred
Campbell's pork and beans? Not even Milton would have
been able to fill in the missing line in the Super Suds contest!
Why?

Well, they never knew of the
grandeur and glory of these pro-
ducts. However, any eager stu-
dent can find out about the hid-
den qualities of Super Suds by
arranging a personal conference
with Miss Janef Preston, our as-
sistant professor of English.

Suds

Miss Preston had always nursed
a suppressed desire to try her
literary skills in a soap opera con-
test and this year she finally de-
cided to see if she could win a
new 1949 Ford for her family.
There was really no problem at
all; all Miss Preston had to do
was to complete a four line lim-
erick with a fifth line that was
clever enough to extol the praises
of Super Suds to the satisfaction
of the judges.

This was very serious business!
Dictionaries and typewriters were
prepared; consultations with an
eminent scientist were scheduled.
No stone was left unturned. The
Preston family was to ride in
style from now on.

After much writing and re-
writing, which made Miss Preston
feel as if she were a 101 student,
the poetic line was ready to be
sent to Mr. Super and Mr. Suds
Then the family waited and wait-
ed. Each morning they asked
each other, "Is there a Ford in
our future?"

F is For Ford

Weeks passed, and Miss Preston
kept on walking. Finally a note
came from a judging company in
New York asking Miss Preston
for information about herself. Miss
Preston felt that she could even
disclose her middle name for a
bright new Ford, so with great
haste the questions were ans-
wered; and the blank was sent,
back to New York.

Finally it happened! A letter
arrived from the^Super Suds com-
pany. A family council was called.
Did they win a car? Did they win I
a washing machine? Alas the
Preston family will have to walk
and wash their dirty dishes. Miss
Preston won a General Electric
iron. My, but the family was im-
PRESSed.

Badminton club sponsored a
badminton clinic with instruction
and demonstration by Don
Vaughn, professional badminton
player, Thursday.

During the first part of the
evening, he gave pointers and ex-
amples of difficult shots, dividing
the girls into groups, and teaching
them individually.

Members of the Badminton
club, and those entered in the
tournament were among those
present.

present, regardless of circum-
stances, in the Danish Prince's
portrait as Shakespeare paints it.

Joseph Holland was, however,
superb in his role as Claudius.
Perhaps he never quite reached
the complete anguish of soul ex-
pressed in the scene of his con-
fessional prayer, but otherwise,
he capitalized on every chance of
showing the political skill, the
penetrating judgement, the abil-
ity to wield men for his own pur-
poses, and the sheer force of per-
sonality which make him truly a
man % of large stature, a mighty
opposite, a dangerous foe.

As his queen, Carol Goodner
was another source of satisfaction.
She accomplished the difficult
task of being a convincing matron
and mother, yet the willing recip-
ient of Claudius' love.

Arthur O'Connell as Polonius
was entertaining and witty. We
sometimes wished that he might
have been less conscious of the
humor which he produced, since
Shakespeare presumably intended
that humor to be the product of a
worldly wisdom which is degen-
erating with age rather than the
wisecracks or asides of an old fool
who has never beeen too wise.

His best scene was an unusually
good one; that in which, immedi-
ately following Laertes' departure,
he counsels Ophelia practically,
yet with the sympathy of a father,
to be cautious in her relationship
with the prince.

Guildenstern and Rosencrantz,
played by Dion Allen and Fred-
erick Rolf, were priceless. One

POTATO CHIPS!

Columnist Conducts Tour,
Out-Walks Outing Club

By Margaret Brewer

What's Ernest Rogers got that I haven't got?! Well, for
two things, he has a brand new office in the Atlanta Journal's
brand new building, and a very popular column in the
Journal.

"Where's Ernest Rogers' new office with
his name on the door? He's been writing
about it in his column, and I want to see it,"
is the first thing most of the visitors to the
Journal's housewarming ask.

The second is "How long have you been
with the Journal?"

"Just about fifteen minutes," I answered
the first day, and then explained to them
I'm just a guide, pointing proudly toi my badge,
conducting tours through the Journal build-
ing during their three weeks of housewarm-
ing. The only connection between this and sports news is
that conducting a tour involves a lot of hiking and outing
club sponsors hikes.

Chemistry Kinks

But being a guide requires more than just knowing how
to walk. For the first time in my life I wished I'd taken a"
course in chemistry when one brainy visitor wanted to know
the composition of the metal used in making type. The only
metals I could think of were zinc, antimony and copper. Chem-
istry students, I ask you, is there such a combination that
produces anything?

Not So Funny

One little girl wanted to know where the Sunday funny
papers were kept. Being one of the few questions I knew
how to answer, I immediately explained in much detail,
before someone thought up something else to ask, that the
Sunday comics are printed in New York, then shipped down
to the Journal and stored in their mail room. But this was
not all. Next the little dear wanted to know where the week
day comics were printed. That's a good question!

A Guillotine

Finally we came to the engraving department. Having
listened to this process explained several times, and never
understanding it, I tried to give the visitors an impressive
description of how a number o negatives are photographed
onto a single zinc plate, and then cut out by a special ma-
chine, called a guillotine, to be mounted and printed.

"Sometimes the man operating the cutting machine slips
and cuts off a head," I added for a laugh.

"Cuts off a head!" one woman screamed.

"Of the photograph, I mean.''

Reassured, the crowd pushed frantically by me on down
the hall.

"Turn to the left, please," I called after them. Of course
they went to the right, and I was sure some of them would
come out splattered all over the front page before I could get
them out of the maze of heavy machinery in the composing
room.

Finally we came to the last stop on the tour the press
room. The presses were rumbling at full speed, the paper
going through so fast it was just a gray blur. One lady
approached me and timidly asked, "Where are the presses?"

Brenda Starr was never like this!

Srs. Win 33-20 Over Frosh,
Sophs Down Juniors 23-18

By Anne Brooke

The first intra-mural basketball games of the year were
played Friday afternoon with the sophomores and seniors
emerging as victors from the hard fought contests.

Before the games began the basketball managers were
blindfolded and the traditional game of blindman's bluff was
played to determine the opponents

for the afternoon. As a result
the seniors and juniors met the
freshmen and sophomores respec-
tively. *

The freshmen started off strong,
and at first it appeared that the
score might be close. However,
the seniors pulled away, and the
game ended in their favor 33-20.
Bunny Brannan was high scorer
for the seniors with 16 points.

The sophomores and juniors
played a tight game throughout.
At the half the juniors were lead-
ing 12 to 8, but the sophomores
came back in the second half to
win 23-18.

Senior lineup included Bunny
Brannan, June Davis, Sally Ellis,
Reese Newton, Julia Blake, and
Julianne Cook. Substitutes for
the seniors were Marie Cuthbert-
son and Butch Hayes.

The freshmen's lineup was Win-
nie Strozier, Edith Petrie, Helen
Jean Robarts, Catherine Redles,
Mattie Hart and Jeannine Byrd.

Line-up for the sophomores in-
cludes Betty Esco, Betty Zeigler,
Virginia Kay, Freddie Hachtel,
Barbara Futral and Virginia Ar-
nold. Their substitutions were
Barbara Quattlebaum, Katherine
Loemker, Jenelle Spear and Fritz
Hale.

Junior line-up was Ann William-
son, Mary Louise Warlick, Genie
Paschal, Charlotte Evans, Mar

guerite Jackson and Betty Van
Houten. Their substitution was
Barbara Lawson.

The Play's The Thing'

Public Lecture association after Saturday has proved "The
play's the thinig".

Departing from their usual habit of presenting notable
speakers, Lecture association brought Margaret Webster's
production of "Hamlet'' to Presser. Since then "Hamlet"
has even replaced the weather as a universal topic of conver-
sation. Hamlet discourses are being served at every meal.

Each character has been taken apart line for line and given
the critical survey as only college students can give. ..Many
faults were found, but the over-all effect was impressive,
showing all Agnes Scott, whether scientifically or poetically
inclined, why Shakespeare is called The Great.

We feel that Lecture association has really increased its
value as a "vital part of our intellectual growth'' by branch-
ing out into cultural fields other than speakers. Not, how-
ever, that we would give up Mr. Frost for Shakespeare, him-
self.

Joint Jitters

Jabberwacky

By Lee Cousar

"Writing committee meets to-
night!" remembers a student-
who-possesses - a-Mortar-Board -
calendar as the library gong tolls
its closing knell; and so six or
seven reminded students sudden-
ly become intensely interested in
the books they've been bored with
all evening, and in prolonging
their last moments in this haven,
and in procrastinating in general.

But even the library fails them
in this hour of need, for, with
the passing of a few moments,
and with the throwing of a switch,
the darkness falls, and they are
forced to grope their way to the
door and out into the night.

"Tain't that I'm not coopera-
tive. It's just that I can't write!"
pleads an English major as her
fellow-committeemen lasso her
and drag her along to the party.
Long Way Home

After their 15-minute walk from
the library to Main, the commit-
tee settles down to serious work.

"What's the theme for Junior
Joint this year?" inquires a com-
mitteeman who has been forced
to miss the last two meetings. At
this moment the door opens, hot
dogs are mentioned and the
committee decides that they are
in dire need of food and relaxa-
tion.

Work resumed, the plot is re-
lated up to the present point, and
i the chairman looks up eagerly for
suggestions as to procedure.

"Now, let's have the villain go
to get a drink of water, and while
he's gone the heroine can break

her ropes and run!" comes anima-
tedly from a far corner; but not-
ing the inanimate objects around
her she retires to her copier
"Anyhow, I tried," she mutters.
Sans 17 Auto

A fifteen-minute silence follows
for thinking. "Ive got it!"
shrieks a previously unheard
from precinct "Why not have the
hero drive up in his car with the
sheriff, arrest the villain, and
drive off with the heroine? We
could have some music to make it
dramatic."

"Don't you think that niigh
lack punch?" tenderly questions
a tactful soul, adding, at the
same time, some remark to the
effect that these were ante-bel-
lum days and, hence, ante-cars

Suggestions become ler^ anc
less frequent, and each one
met with the cold treament of
the Big Stare.

During the last hour, the eyes
of at least four people in the room
have been glued to the clock. Sud-
denly one of them exclaims in a
shocked, unhappy f voice: "Why,
we've only ten minutes before
Mr. Welborn locks the dormi-
tories! Really, I hate it, but I'm
afraid we'll have to leave." 'Midst
a chorus of parting regrets, a con-
scientious voice is heard beseech-
ing all to return to the same place
at the same time the next night.

(Columnist's Plug: If you real-
ly want to find out what happens
to the villain, see the senior ski
at Junior Joint!)

Critic Praises

(Continued from page 3)

cannot help comparing this pro-
duction in which room was found
for them with the Olivier movie,
Which lost so much by their omis-
sion.

Alike as two peas in a pod, only
the red trousers of the one and
the grceen * of the other distin-
guished them from each other as
Hamlet baffled their politely con-
fused minds. Their contribution
to the picture of court life, to
the humor, and to the complexity
of Hamlet's situation is needed.

Lee Payat's flashy costume was
matched by his good interpreta-
tion of the fiery, impulsive, dash-
ing young man of fashion, Laertes.

Virginia McDowall as Ophelia
was not so pleasing. Perhaps the
freshness and charm of Jean Sim-

mons in the Olivier production
have prejudiced judgment. Miss
McDowall, however, never seemed
at home in the role. Her doubts
and fears seemed to spring not
from an inexperiencedf girl, but
from an older woman.

We could hardly pass over the
gohst. The amplified heartbeats,
the husky voice which introduced
his arrival and announced his de-
parture, the stately gait and ges-
tures gave a supernatural flavor
to his portrayal. The most effec-
tive lighting of the play was the
gradual merging of his figure with
the backdrop.

This production was undoubt-
edly excellent from the technical
stand point and impressive in its
effect. True, there were some
defects in the charactrization, but
its overall merit far out-weigh
any individual flaws.

Campus Slips

WHO was the amazed senior
who stared at the list of all the
students registered at Agnes Scott
and exclaimed,

"Gosh, I didn't know there were
this many people on the Dean's
List."

"WHAT happened to the top of
that milk bottle?" This cry went
up in the dining room when one of
the dignified senior hostesses
calmly turned her bottle upside
down to mix the contents, quite
forgetting that she had already re-
moved the top.

Oh, well they didn't want to
use that table cloth again anyway.

WHEN did the lavatory on sec-
ond Rebekah become an aqua-
rium? That was the impression
which one of the members of the
faculty received when she started
to wash her hands and suddenly
discovered that one of the absent
minded sophomores had forgotten
her pet gold fish, which she had
left there while she changed the
water in their proper home.

"WHY?" screamed everybody
at the table when one of the host-
esses said that she wanted the
recipe for the cake icing. They
were fully enlightened by her re-
ply:

"I just want to be sure that I
never make any like it."

Seven Present

Seven music and speech stu-
dents performed for the campus
on Wednesday's chapel program.

Two piano students, Jean Ni-
ven, junior, and Dolores Martin,
sophomore, played "The Little

"Second Rhapsody in B Minor"
by Brahms, respectively.

Rebecca Bowman, sophomore,
read "Her First Visit to the Butch-

laide Ryall recited "October and

Three vocal students sang pas-
sages from "The Messiah" by
Handel. Vivienne Patterson, jun-
ior, sang "He Shall Feed His
Flock", Norah Anne Little, junior,
sang "Come Unto Him", and Char-
ity Bennett, sophomore, sang "Re-

Once Proud China Government
Now Wants Peace at Any Price

China is now ready to accept a peace at almost any price.
The Nationalist government last Wednesday requested a
cease-fire order and a commencement of peace negotiations.

Generalissimo Chiang Kai-^hek announced his retirement
as President of Nationalist China on Friday to be effective
that day. Vice-president Li

Teung-jeu, a peace advocate, took
over the helm of the buckling gov-
ernment and appointed peace en-
voys to meet with the Commu-
nists.

On Saturday Peiping was sur-
rendered to the Reds in a separate
peace agreeement. The Commu-
nists plan to make this ancient
city their new capital.

At present the Reds are still de-
manding virtual absolute surreiK
der as the only acceptable peace
terms and the Nationalist gov-
ernment has announced its will-
ingness to negotiate with these
terms as a "basis".

Palestine

Jewish-Egyptian armistice talks
which seeemed to be proceeding
smoothly last week threatened
to collapse Monday over the issue
of Israel's Nezeu boundaries.

For several days the Palestine
situation seemed so much improv-
ed that the French and British
governments had begun negoti-
ations aimed toward recognition
of the Israeli state.

Agreement had been reached
in regard to release of Egyptian
troops trapped at Taleya. Suc-
cessful Jewish-Lebanese confer-
ences had resulted in the with-
drawal of some Israeli troops from
Lebanese villages. King Abdullah
of Trans-Jordan also seemed eager
to enter into formal peace nego-
tiations.

On Friday, however, the Negeu
border question caused violent dis-
agreemen/t between Arabs and
Jews and by Monday the oppos-
ing representatives were in a
deadlock. The U. N. Conciliation
commission arrives in Tel Aviv-
Monday to attempt a settlement
of the problem.

Inaugural Address

President Truman's inaugural
address Thursday included a chal-
lenge to Russia and to world com-
munism.

The President promised to
fight for world democracy and
pledged the leadership of the U. S.
to obtain peace, freedom, and a
better way of life for all mankind.

Many people felt that his an-
nouncement of the beginning of
a bold program for the improve-
ment of undeveloped areas of the
world was a rather ambitious

project for a nation with so many
present commitments.

Red Trial
The trial of 12 top U. S. com-
munist leaders- began last Mon-
day and news of it during the
week largely concerned the
charges of defense attorneys who
protested against the "armed
camp atmosphere" and the "silk
stocking jury".

The chief defendant, William Z.
Foster, chairman of the U. S.
Communist party was judged too
ill to stand trial with the other 11
men and he will be tried separtely
at some later date.

Indonesia

Representatives of 19 Asian and
African nations held a conference
in India last week to demand the
establishment of Indonesian in-
dependence. This conference
proves likely to develop into a
regional organization like the Pan-
American Union in which case it
would constitute a large influ-
ential bloc in the U. N.

A resolution was sent from the
conference to the Security coun-
cil asking for complete transfer
of sovereignity of the East Indian
Colonies from the Netherlands
government to the United States
of Indonesiai by 1950.

The U. S. and three other conu-
tries also sent a proposal to the
Security council calling for the
independence of Indonesia by'1950.

Council Considers
'Coke' Problem

A cooperative system for get-
ting coke hot tics back to tin-
Tea House went into effect
Wednesday. The nrw system
was planned by the respective

House Councils. Cases tor the
bottles were placed on each hall
and are to he returned several

times each week.

This new system was inaugu-
rated as a DOSslble answer to the

problem caused by coke bottles

not being returned to the Tea
House. It some solution is not

found, the coke machine will

have to be removed from the
CampUS because the Tea House
is losing money as the situation
stands now.

When Captain Andy's Show Boat comes to Agnes Scott
for Junior Joint Saturday, "Magnolia" will be on board to
reign over the festivities but which "Magnolia"? The four
candidates, chosen from the four classes, were presented in
chapel today.

Carolyn Denson was chosen to
be the "prettiest of all the flow-
ers" in the freshman class, and she
will reign as freshman queen, es-
corted by Sheldon Whittlesey of
Opelika, Ala. The chairman of
the presentation skit was June
Carpenter.

Joan Coart will reign for the
sophomores, and she will be es-
corted by Henry Johnson of At-
lanta. Dodo Martin was in charge
of the chapel skit for the sopho-
mores.

Beryl Crews will represent the
"Magnolia" from the junior class.

McKeon Stresses Confidence
As Basis for World Peace

By Ginnie Feddeman and Margaret Brewer

"The whole basis of Democratic action is one of mutual
confidence and understanding, which, in addition to the Arts
and Sciences, can contribute much to world peace." Dr.
Richard P. McKeon made this statement in an exclusive
interview Tuesday afternoon.

Dr. McKeon appeared last night
at Agnes Scott as visiting lectur-
er in philosophy, sponsored by the
Visiting Scholars of the University
Center.

Citing the variety of fears over
this world as the chief dangers
today. He said this interfered
with our actions. He declared
that our nation takes no pains to
explain our program and our ac-
tions to the people. Such an ex-
planation, he continued, would
clarify much and relieve innum-
erable fears.

The division of the world into
the East and West, Dr. McKeon
points out, was forced by the Rus-
sians rather than by intentional
action of our own. Also, the

"cold war" is not between just
America and Russia but includes
the entire world.

These other countries are the
great bulwark against Commun-
ism, he said, and we ought to ad-
dress the middle section in order
that they may understand us and
not be afraid. "The democratic
way to combat fear is with under-
standing."

In conclusion, Dr. McKeon em-
phasized that political institutions
in which the arts and sciences play
an important part have been cul-
minated in the UNESCO. Free-
dom is essential to arts and sci-
ences and he said he believes that
the artist can contribute to world

By Shorty Lehman

A little bird told me that "there were big doings in Atlanta
this week-end. Highlights included the All Star concert,
Emory I. F. C. formal and Emory Phi Delt formal.

Peeking in at the I. F. C. formal we were surrounded by
Scott girls, including Martha Fortson, Zena Cates, Dot Duck-
worth, Ruth Whiting, Eleanor

Ryan, Martha Jane Davis, Eliza
White, Helen Land, Mary Jo Am-
nions, and Easy Beale.

Phyllis Galphin, Lola Purcell,
Beryl Crews, Terrell Warburton,
Barbara Lawson, Joanne Peter-
son, Genie Paschal, Jean Osborn,
Julianne Cook, Val von Lehe, Pat
Buie, Vippi Patterson, Emily Ann
Reid, Jane Cook, Anne Kincaid,
Anne Goodwyn, Tiny Clark, and
Julianne Morgan, were also there.

The Phi Delt formal was sim-
ply out of this world according
to Jean Tollison, Hanna Wood,
Helen Christian, Mary Jane Lar-
gen, Jessie Carpenter, Diana Dur-
den, Charlotte Bartlette, Harriet
Ann McGuire, Jean Wilson, Vir-
ginia Kay, Julianne Morgan and
Hunt Morris.

Also I heard from several sour-
ces that the concert was superb.

Around town we saw Mimi Ar-
nold and Dot Quillian at the Em-
pire Room, and Newell Turner
and Robby Robeson at the Naval
Air Station.

"This little bird also told me"
that Caroline Little from Georgia
visited Gin Vining; Newell Tur-
ner also 'had a Georgia visitor,
Betty Stanley.

Sissie Westbrook, Dean Morris,
and Marcy O'Ferrall had visitors
from 'Ole Miss. Also on campus
were former Scott girls Jo Mc-
Call and Polly Harris.

All the gaiety was not confin-
ed to Atlanta though. Mary Alice
McDonald went to' Columbus,
Cama Clarkson to Raleigh. La
Belle David, Billie Powell, Nancy
Wilkinson, Claire Foster, Marg
Hunt, and Bettie Davison went
home. Ann Griggs journeyed to
GSCW for a dance.

Marie Heng had three visitors
to attend a Chinese New Year's

they say it was a grand week-end
i "I believe that it's true."

Mrs. W. J. R. Thorbecke, in
chapel Friday, emphasized the
fact that the accomplishments of
the Jews have been based upon

She stressed that the different
languages and habits of Jewish
immigrants are gradually being
welded into a common language
and tradition in the same way
that all efforts are being concen-

Seniors Slay Juniors 45-26
Frosh Tie Soph mo res 23-23

By Jenelle Spear

Seniors clashed with the juniors, and the sophomores
battled for a hard-fought tie with the freshmen Friday.
The final score of the junior-senior game was in the seniors'
favor, 45-26- The outcome of the sophomore-freshman
game was 23-23.

The smooth teamwork of both
upperclassmen teams, particularly
the seniors, was the outstanding
feature of the first game.

Forwards broke through the ju-
nior defense allowing June Davis
to emerge as high-scorer with 20
points to her credit. Most of her
goals were overhead shots, made
from under the basket.

The junior forwards also got off
some nice plays with Mary Louise
Warlick racking up a score of 12
points.

The senior lineup was: Guards
Reese Newton, Julia Blake, Ju-
lianne Cook: and forwards Sally
Ellis, June Davis, Bunny Brannan.

Lining up for the juniors were
Guards Barbara Lawson, Margue-
rite Jackson, Betty Phillips: and
Forwards Mary Louise Warlick,
Genie Paschal, Ann Williamson.
Substitutes were Cathie Davis,
Ann Griggs and Emily Ann Reed.

The good teamwork and the
long shots of the freshmen made
for a near frosh victory, and a
very exciting game for both teams.
The first half was definitely the
freshmen's game, ending with the
score in their favor, 18-9.

The forwards worked together
nicely, with long shots being made
by Edith Petrie and Winnie Stro-
zier, who made a high score of
12 points. The tight defense of
the freshmen guards kept the soph
forwards at a distance.

However, the second half wit-
nessed a comeback by the sopho-

more team. Betty Zeigler, Betty
Esco and Barbara Quattlebaum
displayed nice teamwork to bring
the score up to a tie of 23-23.

On the other end of the court,
the guards were doing equally as
well with Barbara Futral, Virginia
Arnold, and Charlotte Key hold-
ing down the freshman score.
High scorer for the sophs was
Betty Esco, who tallied 11 points.
The frosh lineup was Guards
Jeannine Byrd, Catherine Redles,
Mattie Hart; and Forwards Helen
Jean Robarts, Winnie Strozier,
Edith Petrie. Substitute was Dot
Rollins.

The soph lineup included Guards
Barbara Futral, Virginia Arnold,
Charlotte Key; and Forwards Bet-
ty Esco, Betty Ziegler, Barbara
Quattlebaum. Substitutes were

Paradise lost has been regained!

'Course our version of Paradise might not be exactly what
Milton had in mind- Adam and Eve didn't sip cokes and
munch potato chips in tune with a juke box melody every
Tuesday and Wednesday night from 9:30 to 10:30, but that's
exactly what visitors to our Par-

urrected from

adise will be doing.
Athletic association has dusted
off the colored
chairs and musty
card tables on
the second floor
of Murphey
Candler, and re-
stored these rel-
ics of the class of
'47 to their re-
spectable places.
\ The old juke
box has been res-
its well-deserved
grave and banged into working
order for the benefit of music
lovers. And a slightly worn coke
container was hoisted up the steps,
and now stands near the window
in case the chunks of ice melt too
quickly and an emergency outlet
is needed.

Haven History
These are just the first steps
in the rehabilitation program de-
signed for Paradise. This cam-
pus "haven" first opened four
years ago last month during the
sophomore year of the class of
'47. Since this was the pre-
Threadgill-delivery-s e r v i ce era,
and college girls got just as hun-
gry around 9 p. m. then as they
do now, the sophs decided to start
a crusade against pre-midnight
hunger.

After selecting the location, a
group of young artists painted
murals depicting Mexican senor-
itas, bullfighters, and of course,
the bulls; painted chairs green,
yellow, red, blue and white, and
secured a large crate from a near-

by grocery store to serve as a
counter.

Food was bought through the
bookstore, and certain nights the
alumnae house made sandwiches
for Paradise to sell. These nights,
were logically called sandwich
nights, and the others sandwich-
less nights.

Battle of The Bulge

The first night Paradise opened
there was such a crowd that al-
though the juke box advised ev-
eryone to "Ac-cen-tu-ate the Pos-
itive, Eliminate the Negative," no
one could budge.

But two years after this aus-
picious beginning, Paradise was
lost somewhere between the date
parlors in Main that began to be
filled once more with boys just
back from the war, and Thread-
gill's delivery service.

Memories

However, the memory of an
hour's worth of food, card games
and hen sessions still lingers in
the minds of some of the upper-
classmen, and sounds like a good
idea to the newer members of the
student body, so A. A. has re-open-
ed our defunct night spot.

Who said life is to be endured,
not enjoyed? See ya' in Paradise!

Treaty of 7 Nations Await
Approval from Legislatures

By B. J. Sauer

The long awaited North Atlantic Pact became a reality
last week.

Ministers representing the United States, France, Belgium,
the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Canada and Great Britain
announced that agreement had been reached on the long
disputed provisions.

According to the pact, nations
ratifying the treaty must take
military or other action forth-
with in the event of an armed at-
tack against one of the signator-
ies. Ratification of the treaty
awaits approval by the constitu-
tional legislatures of the seven
participating countries..

European Parliament

Five European nations have
banded together to form a Coun-
cil of Europe with a cabinet and
advisory parliament. This ac-
complishment rivals the Atlantic
Pact in importance for it looks
forward to a possible general Par-
liament of Europe.

The five nations, France, Great
Britain, Luxembourg, the Nether-
lands and Belgium form the nu-
cleus. Other nations will, of
course, be invited to join.
"Operation Hayliff

The West fell victim last week
to the worst blizzard in its his-
tory.

Livestock, worth an estimated
three billion dollars, were in acute
danger of starvation on the inac-
cessible ranges when ranchers and
the federal government began a
cooperative relief plan.

Hay was dropped to the strand-
ed cattle from army and civilian
planes and the mercy flight pro-
gram was dubbed "Operation
Haylift". On Saturday the Fifth
Army moved personnel into the
area for "the biggest bulldozer
operation since the Ledo road".

The President had allocated
$300,000 of his emergency fund to
the striken area, and Congress
voted a 500,000-dollar relief fund
last week.

Truman has also authorized the
use of river and harbor control
funds and at the same time asked
Congress to replace the money so
spent and grant an additional re-
lief appropriation.

Filibuster

"The Battle of the Filibuster"
began last Monday as the Senate
Rules committee began hearings
on anti-filibuster debate.

A bloc of southern senators is
pledged to fight any such change,
and two of these senators have
offered alternative suggestions.

Senator Stennis of Mississippi
has proposed a compromise where-
by the filibuster wpuld be outlaw-
ed only in emergencies affecting
national defense.

Senator Russell of Georgia has
introduced a bill to establish a
voluntary racial relocation com-
mission for whites and negroes in
the U. S. This commission would
assist in equalizing the ratio of
whites to negroes throughout the
nation.

Taft-Hartley vs Wagner Act

Saturday President Truman
asked Congress to repeal the Taft-
Hartley Law and to re-establish
the Wagner Act with some addi-
tional curbs, notably against
strikes affecting national welfare
and defense.

The President's new labor-man-
agement bill abandons all major
provisions of the Taft-Hartley
Act and should be pleasing to or-
ganized labor. House and Senate
labor committees have begun
hearings On the bill.

Russia

Russia's answer to the Marshall
Plan is the newly formed Council
of Mutual Assistance. Member
nations include Russia and her
five satellites, Bulgaria, Czechoslo-
vakia, Hungary, Poland and Ru-
mania.

The countries will exchange
technical assistance, raw mater-
ials, food, machinery and equip-
ment. However, Russia will not
subsidize the plan as the U. S. is
doing.

ments later to say she had a
cramp in her big toe and was do-
ing a jellyfish float to get it out,
just as she had been taught in
Life Saving. Must have been a
rather dry pond.

The supreme example of practic-
al application of principles learned
in class is that of the group
of sophomores who cut all morn-
ing classes so that "retroactive in-
hibition" would not affect their
average on a 211 test.

There are times, however, when
all hope seems to have been vain.
For instance, a mighty senior, dis-
cussing the performance of "Ham-
let", said "Oh, I thought his name
was Rosenpants, and that was
why he wore red trousers."

Then there was the girl who, in
a class discussion of fear, was
called upon to give an example of
something she was afraid of. The
poor soul answered Mr. Stukes
in a quavering voice with:

"Well, I'm afraid of you when
you call on me."

Maybe the whole matter can be
summed up by the statement of a
desperate creature with three
tests, two meetings, and a News
assignment staring her in the face.

"Woe is me, for I am a woman
undone," she lamented. "I am a
woman of many things to do and
I live in the midst of a people
with many things to do."

At vespers Sunday night Char-
lotte Key will summarize the im-
pressions she got and the ex-
periences she gained at the Eu-
cumenical conference sponsored
by the United Student Christian
Council which was held in Law-
rence, Kansas, recently.

She has brought back to us
many questions which were
raised therte and which will
help us in our thinking for Re-
ligious Emphasis Week.

Quite a bit of information on
summer conferences has been
coming to us. There will be a
Washington Student Citizenship
Seminar which will last for nine
weeks.

During this time students will
hold full time jobs which will be
found for them and will learn
through seminars and field
trips about our government
and what it means to be an
American.

A European Work-Study Sem-
inar lasting eight weeks will also
be held. By travel and study, the
groups will learn of the economic,
political, educational and religious
situations in five of the European
countries.

Other summer projects and
summer service groups are be-
ing offered. All of this informa-
tion will be posted and further
details can be obtained.

insisted that all so-called Nation-
alist War Criminals including
Chiang Kai-shek be placed in cus-
tody before talks could begin.

As Communist troops approach-
ed the outskirts of panic-striken
Nanking, Nationalist government
headquarters was moved to Can-
ton and Nationalist forces were
purportedly being gathered in
Southern China for a last-ditch
stand in the area where Chiang
is "in retirement".

Operation Vocation

Freshmen dream idly of careers after college, when youth
is gone. Sophomores take more definite steps by deciding
on their majors- Juniors go still further, change their majors
and begin serious work toward their goal, graduation.

But seniors, whose unringed hands reach for that diploma,
are struck with the realization that they want something to
do for the rest of their lives.

Letters went out this week from a Coordinating Campus
Committee on Vocational Guidance offering information
about getting something to do a vocation of interest and
value.

Agnes Scott has one of the best facilities for helping stu-
dents in learning about and getting into vocations. ..It offers
interviews, tests, reading material, and information on actual
openings, just for the asking.

Just help yourself.

Full Steam Ahead

The skippers of the Junior Joint show-boat have a triple
heavy cargo aboard this year as they try to keep the hearty
barge ''chug-chug-chuggin' along." The captains used a good
principle of show-boat business when they combined the big-
gest engines, the best talent, and the most important purpose
for the whole trip in a gigantic splash up the Mississippi.
They knew, too, that they had a job on their hands.

The cargo, though, is heavier than most of the mates realize.
The call for "all hands on deck" is three times as loud this
time, three times as urgent. Red Cross, Community Chest,
and WSSF drives, as well as the success of Junior Joint are a
precious cargo, a rush order. Full steam ahead!

Jabberwacky

By Lee Cousar

Thursday night, and the inhabitants of Gaines cottage are
startled from their books, bridge, or what-have-you by a
firm, "Meow" coming apparently from regions below the
floorboards.

Friday night, and again the complaints are heard from the
basement apartment, but this time cannQt aid the ac _

in a gentler strain

Saturday night
and a weak,
wasted, wailing
cry wrings the
hearts of the
bearers.

Sunday, and
Gaines can stand
it no longer! A
council is called.
Speakers innum-
erable are heard
from, counseling "ignoble ease and
peaceful sloth" and others advo-
cating open war.

After long hours in closed ses-
sion, all concluded that there is
no peace as long as kitty remains
below. Volunteers are sought for
the search; but all sit mute, "pon-
dering the danger with deep
thoughts". (Forgive, Milton!)

Finally, two elevated souls, re-
alizing their obligations to hu-
manity, offer their services. The
search begins.

Into The Depths

Entrance to these infernal re-
gions is made through a hole in
the wall. A math major is called
in to determine whether it is a
mathematical possibility for these
two objects to pass through this
crack, and by means of calculus,
she finds it possible. Unfortun-

tual entrance.

Once inside, both adventurers
find it necessary to lie down and
roll wherever they wish to go.
After lodging three times between
the ground and the floorboards,
Explorer No. 1 returns to the
glorious light of day.

Undaunted, Explorer No. 2
keeps right on with the search.
Under each room she reports her
progress to those tensely listen-
ing and waiting on top. Each
spider-web encounter is reported.
CaU Out The Guardians

After several hours have passed,
someone emerges from the dark
regions. The mother of Explorer
No. 2 is called in and identifies the
begrimed creature as her daugh-
ter.

But, alas, no cat! Apparently
the feline friend made its get-
away when it saw what was com-
ing after it.

A valuable discovery was made,
however! This successor to Ad-
miral Byrd found a subterranean
room, equipped with a wood stove
and four inches of water. Now, at
last, a haven has been discovered
for the Qaines freshmen. No
more will un-quiet hours disturb
them; for now they can go below
when the seniors hold their daily
fiestas.

Magnolias' Raise $1,163
For Combined Charities

Although the grand total of the Combined Charities
drive has not been calculated yet, Saturday night's "Show-
boat" brought in $1,163.70 for their Magnolias alone.

The senior class elected their candidate, Elizabeth Wil-
liams, queen of the Showboat with the highest total of
$377.15.

Juniors rated next with $293.80
for their choice, Beryl Crews.
Freshmen voted $260.94 for Caro-
lyn Denson, and the sophomores
came close behind them with
$208.26 for Joan Coart.

After 8:30 Saturday night when
the last count was made for the
queen, $23.55 was collected to-
ward the charities. Of the total
for the queens over $50 war do-
nated by the faculty. Their do-
nation will go just for WSSF since
they have had separate drives for
Red Cross and Community Chest.

The grand total collected for
the Combined Charities, which in-
cludes WSSF, Community Chest,
and Red Cross will be announced
next week. Included in this sum
will be the money raised at In-
vestiture week-end.

Library Displays Trophy
For Class Spirit Contest-

A now Class Spirit cup, pre-
sented to Agnes Scott by Maiey
and Berkle will be on display
in the college library today, and
will be kept there until it ?s
presented this spring.

The original cup, given by
Marian Yancey, disappeared last
year and has been replaced by
this permanent trophy, which
will be engraved with the name
of the winning class each year.

The contest has been a custom
at Agnes Scott for the past two
years. It was won last year by
the class of '51.

The judges who will award
the eup this year are Miss Eliz-
abeth Jackson, Miss Edna Ruth
Hanley, and Miss Elizabeth Ba-
rineau.

Winter, lobeck Tell Plans
For N. Y. Holliday Excursion

By Page Hutchison

Miss Roberta Winter, instructor in speech, and Miss Prisc-
illa Lobeck, instructor in art, are planning again this year to
take a group of students on a gala excursion of New York
during the spring holidays.

The group will leave Thursday, March 17 on the Silver
Come't, and the days following will
be packed with exciting things
to do.

Sight-seeing trips will take
them to places such as the Empire
State building and Rockefeller
center, a visit to Radio City Mu-
sic Hall to see the Rockettes, and
including a radio show which Miss
Winter says may be "Stop the
Music".

The group will take a trip to
lower Manhatten Island which
will include either a ferry ride to
Staten Island for a look at the
Statue of Liberty or a boat ride
around the island, and also a
look at the Metropolitan Museum
and the Museum of Modern Arts.

No trip to New York would be
complete without plays and Miss
Winter promises that three hits,
selected from the best of the cur-
rent productions, will be included
in the schedule. Among those

Salesman",
and "The

considered . are Maxwell Ander-
son's "Anne of a Thousand Days",
and "Mr. Roberts", "Kiss Me,
Kate", "Death of a
"Where is Charlie?"
Silver Whistle".

Meal time will be adventure
time, with a visit to a Swedish
restaurant for smorgasbord, and
to French, Chinese, and Italian
restaurants.

As full as the schedule sounds
there will be at least one morning
and one afternoon free for ex-
ploring the marvels of tiny cur-
iosity shops and the luxuries of
the shops along Fifth Avenue.

The trip will be made if twelve
students sign up. All students
who aro interested should regis-
ter now with either Miss Winter
or Miss Lobeck.

Elizabeth Williams ReignsasShowBoatQueen
Seniors Win Skit Honors with 'Mopsy Twins 7

By Dot Medlock

Captain Andy, of "Showboat" fame, took Elizabeth Wil-
liams, senior to reign over his "Floating Palace" Saturday
night at Junior Joint. Elizabeth, escorted by Charles Henry,
polled over 37,000 pennies to win over the runner-up "Mag-
nolia", Beryl Crews, junior. Sophomore queen was Joan

Coart and freshmen queen was
Carolyn Denson.

Mary Louise Warlick, chairman
of Junior Joint, brought the
"Show Boat" to Agnes Scott in
all the splendor of the old South,
and as we danced to the tunes of
the Nomads beneath tinsel chan-
deliers, we sipped tasty "scent
juleps" and munched on "Georgia
crackers".

"In Lieu of a Skit" or "The
Mopsy Twins", a before and after
picture of a very charming "swab-
bie", under the direction of sen-
ior chairman Nancy Huey won
the hearts of the judges to take
first place for the prize winning
skit.

The freshmen gave us a glimpse
into the lives of Chartreuse
O'Hara, Red Butler, and Ashes
Wilkes in their melodrama, "Shift-
ing With the Draft", while the
sophomores fought it out in a

"Duel in the Shade" for the right
to buy the southern aristocrat of
race horses, Ocean Muffin.

What's in a Name

Play By Play

By Margaret Brewer

Old Shakespeare may have believed a rose by another
name would smell just as sweet, but PLAY BY PLAY by
any other name would smell just the same.

It's almost time for someone else to take over the editor-
ship of the sports page, and the new Ed might question
whether the name PLAY BY PLAY really
fits the sports column. Besides, I can't
think of anything else to write about. So, I
went hunting around for a dictionary, and
stumbled upon a nineteenth century edition
of Dr. Worcester's lexicographical work, "in-
troducing a new and pecular feature, the
principal synonyms of the English language."

According to Dr. Worcester the synonyms
for "play" are sport, game, act, use, perform,
exhibit and amusement.

Looking up the synonyms of the synonyms,
I found that the word "sport" means diversion, frolic, mirth
and something of abnormal form. So far PLAY BY PLAY
is a good title according to that last definition.

Some synonyms of "game" are, a solemn contest, courage-
ous like a game-cock, lame and defective. Wonder if Dr.
Worcester understood English?

"Act" means to be in action, not to rest, to feign, to imitate,
deed, exploit, a decree of a court, edict, statute. We're get-
ting warm!

Synonyms for the word "use" are, employ, to be accus-
tomed, and to frequent. Nothing startling here.

"Perform" means to execute or discharge.

To administer, as medicine, is a synonym for the word
"exhibit."

"Amusement" or "amuse" can mean to entertain, to be-
guile, to divert.

With all these definitions, the meaning of PLAY BY PLAY
comes out something like this "A solemn contest employ-
ing a courageous lame game-cock or abnormal form to be-
guile readers of the NEWS by administering mirth as med-
icine, in spite of any court decree forbidding it under pain of
execution."

Personally, I think I've got a better synonym. It's just
plain "WORK BY WORK."

Hungarians Demand Death
For Cardinal Mindszanty

By B. J. Sauer

The Hungarian government's trial of Cardinal Mindszanty
was climaxed Saturday with a demand for the death sen-
tence.

The Hungarian prelate, who was being tried with six
other men for treason, espionage, and black marketing,

admitted "guilt in principle" to
the charges, but denied any at-
tempt to overthrow the Hungarian
government or sabotage its eco-
nomic program.

On Thursday, the first day of
the trial, Cardinal Mindszanty was
accused of plotting to escape be-
fore the beginning of the trial with
the aid of U. S. Minister Selden
Chapin. He attempted to have the
trial put off by offering to work
for peace between the communist-
dominated country and the Cath-
olic church, but Hungarian offic-
ials rejected this suggestion.

Saturday he rescinded a letter
written before the trial to the
Catholic bishops which had asked
them to disregard any confession
he might make.

British and Americans were
barred from attending the trial,
which the Hungarian government
insisted, was a fair one.

Stalin Peace Offer

Stalin tossed a hot potato to
the American government last
week when he offered to talk
peace with President Truman. The
offer was made through a news-
paper rather than through dip-
lomatic channels.

The U. S. reply, as stated by
.Secretary of State Dean Acheson,
was that the United States would
be glad to discuss a "no war
Pledge" any time, provided it was
made without circumventing U. N.
and provided talks took place in
Washington. He suggested that
Stalin lift the Berlin blockade as
evidence of good faith.

Stalin insisted on a European
location for the meeting-place and
was apparently undisposed to ac-
cede to the other suggestions.
This effectively killed any chance
of acting upon the offer.

The majority opinion seems to
have pegged the peace proposal as
a smart piece of political show-
manship which could be turned to
good propaganda uses by the Rus-
sians.

School Daze

J abbe

rwac

ky

By Dottie Morrison

Ten twenty a. m. For this aspiring student teacher Agnes
Scott classes are over but the day is just beginning. It's
time to head for school.

A quick ascent to the dizzy heights of third Rebeka and
presto the loafer-clad student becomes a dignified school
marm hose and all.

Balking and sputtering, "Na-
coocheell", Florida-bred Ford that
she is, shows her disdain for Geor-
gia weather. With a final cough
and leap, she leaves Main tower
far behind and chugs merrily to
Bass High school.

In front of that awesome edifice
a bent figure, burdened with cor-
rected themes, slowly climbs the
steps.

With the bell all good English
teachers must strike out for
"Treasure Island". "Today,
class," says our regular teacher,
"we'll present our skits." The
class swings into action and the
student teacher settles down con-
tentedly in a corner to observe and
record the grades.

The intra-school phone jangles
to summon No. 1 Teacher to the
counseling room. "It's all yours.
Take over!" She smiles reasur-
ingly as the door closes and the
great moment is at hand. Hor-
rors! What'll I say to 'em if they
start pitching desks and erasers?

"Let's have your skit, class."
Immortal first words. On the
deck of the "Hispaniola" several
seamen are sprawled some dead,
some in a rum-induced stupor.

The class is intent on the scene
The back row is on its feet in
order to see every movement of
the players. The door opens sof-
tly. "Where's the teacher?"

This isn't in the script! A hasty
explanation of what the students
are doing on the floor is followed
by the question from the visitor.
"Are you a student teacher? I
thought you were another one of
the students."

Later ernes the World Geog-
raphy class. At this we're a whiz
we know three ways from At-
lanta to Decatur. First on the
agenda is the daily newscast. "To-
day our sponsor is Pappenheimer's
Pink Pills for Pale People".
There's even a quartet to extol
their praises.

Then the student leader calls for
news from every country and com-
ments issue from every corner
of the room. "Who's teaching
whom? I'm the one who's being
educated in this class!", I com-
ment to myself.

A few minutes later with a new
set of papers to grade, a super-
vising teacher, her apprentice, and
Nacoochee II are headed toward
Decatur and the nearest Coca-Cola
in captivity.

Dr. C. McDuffie Cites Colleges

As Strength of Nations

By Alline Marshall

Dr. C. C. McDuffie, mathematics professor at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, stated that a nation is only as great as
its colleges in his lecture on "The Scholar in the Scientific
World" in chapel Friday.

He stressed that preparatory schools are failing to provide
adequate training for leadership.
He also charged these schools with
emphasizing athletics, vocational,
and domestic subjects more than

scholarly subjects.

Dr. McDuffie pointed out that
the unfortunate situation existing
in high schools is due largely to
the great increase in attendance
and to insufficient funds. As a
result of faulty methods in prep-

aratory schools, colleges are ex-
pected to teach unprepared stu-
dents.

Dr. McDuffie emphasized that
scholars sIkjuIc! be respected as
important people and should be
granted adequate salaries. He
said that present school problems
would be solved if schools were
placed under the direction of
scholars.

NSA Gives National Voice to Small Colleges
Says Helen Jean Rogers, National Secretary

"NSA can give the small college, among other things, a
voice in the national picture," stated Helen Jean Rogers,
national secretary-treasurer of . the National Students' as-
sociation.

In an interview this week-end, Helen Jean told about NSA
and of her tour of the southern
regions. She stayed at Agnes
Scott while she attended the Geor-
gia-Alabama-Florida regional as-
sembly held at Emory university
Saturday and Sunday.

For the rest of the month she
will be visiting and speaking at
colleges and universities in this
region, the Virginia-Carolina re-
gion, and also in Tennessee.

Helen Jean is the only woman
officer of NSA. She attends a
small Christian college for women
in Chicago, Mundelain college.
Mundelain is a liberal arts college
and has an enrollment of less than
a thousand students. She says
she feels that only through NSA
can the opinion of small colleges
be heard above the voice of large
universities.

Helen Jean was first sent a's a
delegate to NSA two years ago
when she was a freshman. Hear-
ing other students, some with the
same ideals as she has and some
with very different views, she says
made her want to know more
about national and international
questions and particularly gave
her a desire to go back to her col-
lege and stimulate their interest
in events outside of campus.

She says that through NSA she

believes students can get a pic-
ture of the various problems which
will confront them when they
leave college, and more impor-
tant, she adds that NSA gives
them a chance to learn to cope
with such situations.

Helen Jean was elected to a re-
gional office in charge of cultural
activities. She then became di-
rector of the NSA art exhibit.
This exhibit of outstanding stu-
dent art is touring the colleges
and universities of the United
States and will later be on dis-
play in Prague.

After holding the position of
president of the Illinois region,
Helen Jean was elected to the na-
tional post. All the national of-
ficers are full-time workers. She

Boosts Charities
Total to $1306

The final total for the combin-

the seniors voted to give to the
charities and the money received
as votes for "Magnolia."

Checks are being sent to the
charities provided for by the
drive. World Student Service will
receive $65 given by members of
the faculty especially for that or-
ganization, plus 60 per cent of

Publication Staffs

Nominating committee has sug-

tising manager, a senior, and one
circulation editor. The circulation
editor will be a senior this year
with the recommendation that
she be a junior next year.

The managing editor of Aurora

Critic Lauds Dances, Lighting
Vivid Interpretation of Ballet

By Jane Campbell

In Saturday night's performance of "Coppelia", the cos-
tumes were effective, the steps were well executed, but the
success of Dance group's presentation was due primarily to
the freshness and exuberance of the interpretation.

Bess Lundeen, as Swanilda, turned in a finished perform-
ance of beauty and precision.

The

originality of her interpretation
was shown to best advantage in
the scene betweeen the capricious
"Coppelia" and the toymaker, who
was convincingly portrayed by An-
drew Negas.

The choreography for the bal-
let was done by Miss Eugenie Do-
zier after Merante with the ex-
ception of the Modern Interpre-
tative group in Act III.

Dance group, under the direct-
ion of Anna Wells, executed the
choreography for this interpre-
tative dance. The dancers, in
neutral gray, symbolized the hours
of the day.

The morning hours, led by sil-
ver-crowned Aurora, opened the
day, effectively illumined by pinft-
gold lighting. The morning
prayers were especially notable,
the symbolic movements of the
dance culminating in a striking
tableau around Aurora, who was
portrayed by Gene Wilson with
charm and dignity.

Other groups of particular in-

Bartlett and Betty Williams were

A joyous Mazurka was danced
by Margaret Hopkins and Molly

lightfully interpreted by Pat Pat-

Betty Davison.

Campus Slips

Genius has a hard time develop-
ing in some atmospheres. One
budding musician was struggling
with a new piano piece, pausing
long intervals while she turned
the pages. A friend (?) sitting
nearby reading a newspaper,
?almly remarked without look-
ing up, "I have the music in
my room if you want to use it."

An industrious rescuer was
towing her victim steadily and
safely to shore. At a word from
the "chief", the victim started
struggling, and the rescuer im-
mediately let go. When asked by
a sputtering and self-rescued vic-
tim why she had done so, the
'life-saver" replied, "Why, I
thought you were drowning."

Srs. Subdue Frosh 44-30
Jrs. Conquer Sophs 19-17

By Charlotte Key

In fast games Friday night the seniors defeated the fresh-
men 44-30, and the juniors won over the sophomores 19-17.

The first game started with the frosh in possession of the
ball, but not for long. In fact, neither team was able to hold
on to the pesky thing for any length of time. Finally a fresh-
man was obliging enough to foul,

and Bunny Brannon broke the
ice over the baskets by making
a shot good for the seniors.
Guards Good

The guards were doing a good
job for both teams, but the pass-
ing tended to be a bit wild. There
wasn't much the frosh could do,
though, when Bunny would jump,
"hang" in mid air, and drop the
ball right in the basket.

Bunny was the high scorer for
the evening with 24 points. Win-
nie Strozier, Jean Robarts and Sal-
ly Ellis also passed the ball around
skillfully.

The game between two old ri-
vals, the sophs and the juniors,
was close and hard. The juniors
made the first goal, to be followed
by one from the sophs. All dur-
ing the first half, the ball did a
lot of traveling but rarely reached
its destination. This was partly
due to the fine work of guards
Freddie Hatchel and Jenelle
Spear. The half ended with a
10-10 tie.

Jrs. Pull Ahead

In the second half, the sophs
got and maintained a slight lead
until the last few minutes of the
game when the juniors pulled
ahead Ito win by two points}.
Leaders in the scoring for the
game were Barbara Quattlebaum,
Genie Paschal and Virginia Kay.

The senior lineup included for-
wards Bunny Brannan, June Da-
vis, and Sally Ellis; and guards

Julia Blake, Ann Hayes and Reese
Newton.

Junior lineup was Forwards Dot
Davis, Genie Paschal and Mary
Louise Warlick; Guards Betty
Phillips, Marguerite Jackson and
Betty Van Houten; substitute was
Ann Griggs.

On the sophomore team were
Forwards Virginia Kay, Barbara
Quattlebaum and Betty Ziegler;
Guards Barbara Futral, Freddie
Hatchel and Jenelle Spear; sub-
stitutes were Ann Brook, Fritz
Hale, Charlotte Key, Dina Lee and
Katherine Loemaker.

Freshmen linup included For-
wards Edith Petrie, Helen Jean
Robarts and Winnie Strozier;
Guards Jeannine Byrd, Kitty Cur-
rie and Catherine Reddles; substi-
tute was Mary Fearing.

C A. R C W- Members
Swap Sport Stones

By Margaret Brewer

Four suit-ably dressed council
members of the Georgia Athletic
Federation of College Women met
last Saturday with their president,
Barbara Lawson, to discuss plans
for the Federation's next confer-
ence.

Shop Talk

With the appearance of cokes
and cookies and a reporter, the
meeting was brought to a close,
but the conversation still centered
on sports.

Althea Whitney, representative
from G. S. C. W., was favorably
impressed with our athletic de-
partment or at least with that
portion she was able to see while
being "whisked around the cam-
pus".

"However," she said, "G. S. C.
W's athletic setup is a little dif-
ferent."

Skill Clubs

At her college there is no or-
ganization known as Athletic As-
sociation. Instead, they have a
Recreation Association that ca-
ters to all types of recreation,
with special emphasis on sports.
The Association is made up of
six skill clubs, and each one puts
on a big program some time during
the year. Two weeks ago the
Folk club gave its annual festival,
using a gypsy theme.

Aquatic Cupid

This week the swimming club,
known as the Penquin club, put
on their water pageant entitled
"Cupid Goes Aquatic". And Cupid
went aquatic in a combination
tropic and valentine setting.

Right now basketball tourna-
ments are going on. The way
G. S. C. W. works it there are
three tournaments. One is for
the freshmen alone, from which all
stars are picked, the second for
the dorms, and the last for all
the all-stars picked from the pre-
ceeding tournaments.

Miss Whitney said attendance
at the intramural games was not
as good as it should be, but that
the programs sponsored by the
clubs always attracted a crowd.

One thing Miss Whitney es-
pecially liked about our athletic
program was the class in modern
dancing. "Exercising to music
looks like much more fun than
our class in fundamentals," she
exclaimed.

Atlanta Girl

Becky Dennard from Atlanta is
another G. S. C. W. representative
to the Federation. She is presi-
dent of the tennis club, basket-
ball manager, and a candidate for
the presidency of Recreation As-
sociation.

Ludia Grey is Snorter's repre-
sentative to G. A. F. C. W. She
was very enthusiastic over their
new gym that has just been com-
pleted. Snorter's athletic organ-

ization goes under the name of
Sports association. Tennis, vol-
ley ball and basketball are the
most popular sports. They have
tournaments between classes
sponsored by a sports council, and
two societies, Eunomnon and Po-
lymnia are devoted to competitive
sports.

There are no clubs at Shorter,
but to stimulate interest in ath-
letics there is a committee that
attempts to get at least 10 per
cent of the freshman class to
turn out for some sport.

Lowrie Danforth travelled all
the way from New Jersey to study
at Brenau, and is now serving as
representative to the Federation
from her school.

/Brenau doesn't have an Athletic
Association, either. Instead it has
a Recreation Board and several
sports clubs. Delta Psi Kappa is
an organization for physical ed-
ucation majors only. In addition,
there is an honorary physical ed-
ucation fraternity for those who
like sports, but are not majoring
in physical education. Lowrie is
secretary of this club.

For those interested in dancing,
there is an honorary dance fra-
ternity called Tau Sigma.

Every Saturday night there is
open house in the gym for stu-
dents to play games, dance or
just chat with friends. Lowrie
is in charge of the Saturday night
entertainment.

Athletic Group
Chooses Topic
For Fall Meet

"What Causes Limited Partic-
ipation in College Sports" will be
the topic for the G. A. F. C. W.
convention next fall, # Barby Law-
son announced after a council
meeeting last Saturday.

"We want to find out why just
a handful of girls take an active
interest in sports programs, while
the majority of students display
little or no interest in athletic
contests," Barby continued.

"It may be that the sports
departments are not offering what
the girls want," she added. "Any-
way, we hope to find out what
the trouble is at the conference."

The exact date and place of the
conference has not been chosen.

Assistants Edit The News

This week's issue of The Ag-
nes Scot* News was edited,
made up, and put to bed by the
three assistant editors of the
staff.

The chiefs-for-a-day were
Dot Medlock, Joann Peterson,
and Cathie Davis.

Saturday Ballet Transforms
Rain Boots Into 'Red Shoes 7

By Nancy Dendy

I saw "Red Shoes" once: I saw a lovely, slim ballerina
doing pirrouettes and tour jetees, and it looked like it was
fun and terribly easy, so I went down to the gym and tried
out for Dance Group, thinking to myself,

"You've heard of Pavlova,

Well, Jack, moye over,
Make way for the queen of the
dance."

Well, they took me in, being
very hard up for talent ("how
hard' up can they get?", you're
thinking), and I dreamed many
wonderful dreams, all of which
had me in a lucious, fluffy white
costume like the redhead's in the
movie, doing graceful turns in a
rosy spotlight. Nothing could be
more exotic, more romantic, more
completely a cinch, than dancing
in a ballet.

Weeks went by. Let's put in
some little dots, and let each one
signify a Tuesday night spent in
the gym, kicking, puffing, stretch-
ing, twisting, and- just knocking
myself out in general

It is Saturday night. Gaines
chapel is filled with people, the
overture has been played and the
curtain goes up. Sure enough,
just as I dreamed it, there is a
girl in a fluffy costume, standing
in a rosy spotlight. Only guess
what? It's not me. Other danc-
ers enter, too, "companions" in
more fluffy costumes, and guess
what ? I'm not there, either.
Spotlight Scarrs

The first act moves on, dancer
after dancer making her entrance,
and at last Mrs. Espy is playing
my cue. With quivering knees and
a frozen smile I make my grand
appearance not alone, exactly,
but in a row with 15 others. I'm
a peasant girl, and my costume
consists of one beat-up skirt and
blouse, and a pair of red rubber
rain boots.

I'm not scared, not very. Those
minor convulsions I'm having are
only a natural reaction to the
lights and the people, that's all.
Anyway, why shouldn't I be nerv-

ous? I'm in the second row, the
4th from the left, and a few peo-
ple might be able to see me, no
matter how I duck behind the
couple in front.

Hours pass before the five-min-
ute dance is over, and I wobble off
the stage literally shaking in my
boots. Plenty of time to relax and
change for the third Act. (No-
tice I didn't mention the second
they thought I'd need a little
time to rest, so Miss Dozier did
not cast me in Act Two.)

Versatile Variations

This time we all are wearing
borrowed hair-nets, and. gray jer-
sey costumes that show nothing
of us but our bare feet. You won-
der what we represent ? No, we're
not a lot of fugitives from a night-
mare, or ghosts of Lady Macbeth.
First, we are the Dawn, then
Prayer, then Work you name it,
we dance it. Or better still, we
dance it and you name it.

War comes next, then Peace,
when we lie on our stomachs on
the floor and make like swans.
At last the modern sequence is
over, the ballerina, leading man,
and companions make their ap-
pearance, and the show has ended.

Backstage I rub my aching
neck (being a swan isn't easy) and
watch the ballerina open her box
of roses. There's them that have
it and there's them that don't,
and I just naturally don't. Guess
I'd better drop quietly out of
Dance Group before I'm asked to
and buy a ticket to see the Ballet
Russe instead. It's much easier
just to look on.

By the way, I saw an Esther
Williams movie the other day,
and, well, do you know when
they're having try-outs of Dol-
phin Club?

Mortar Board Shops, Writes,
Chauffeur to Raise AS Funds

By Marguerite Jackson

Want a love letter written? Want your shoes shined?
Mortar Board will do it for you.

To raise its $100 quota pledge toward the Agnes Scott
building fund, members of the college honor society are now
offering "personal services" at moderate rates.

Under the direction of Dot Por-
ter Clements and Easy Beale, the
organization is furnishing "valets"
to polish shoes and iron clothes,
"chambermaids" to make beds and
clean rooms, "beauticians" to
shampoo and cut hair aryl to man-
icure nails, "postmen" to mail
packages, and "buyers" to shop in
Atlanta or Decatur.

"Chauffeur* Marie Cuthbertson
is available with her car for taxi
service to Atlanta, Emory or De-
catur. Rides to the bus or train
stations get priority.

Composing the love letters is
Mary Hays, senior engaged stu-
dent, who guarantees good results
with every epistle. Length and
content of correspondence deter-
mine the price, "Butch" pointed
out.

Appointments or orders for any
of the above mentioned "menial
tasks" may be placed through
Mary Price in Gaines cottage or
Mary Hays on third Main.

Campus Slips

Would-be athletes have their
troubles too. A certain individual
had finally gotten up enough
nerve to attempt a back dive.
There was a big splash, a head
appeared out of the water look-
ing very wet and waterlogged,
and the sad creature wailed that
she just couldn't blow bubbles
backwards.

Overheard in a discussion of
the plans for the new science
building: "Well, I certainly am
glad they're about to get one. If
the termites should quit hold-
ing hands, this one would fall."

"Blessings" on the person who
tries to sing tenor in chapel, ves-
pers, and church and hits so
many wrong notes that she and
the person next to her burst into
gales of laughter at most inop-
portune moments.

C. A. Halo

By Fay Ball

If you would join the girls who
go down to the "Y" on Friday
nights, you would really have an
experience that is one of delight
and of feeling that you have par-
ticipated in something worth-
while.

You would arrive about 6 p.
m. and help set the tables for
supper. This is always buffet
style and consists of perfectly
wonderful food.

As the members of the Indus-
trial club began to come in
in, you would meet people who
are old favorites of the Agnes
Scott girls. There would be Nan-
cy who works at National Bis-
cuit company and is full of fun,
Lois who works in a hat shop and
wears the cutest hats she makes
herself; and Johnny Jones who is a
foundry worker and has a rose
garden and brings beautiful roses
when they are in season. You
would see Miss Elizabeth* Bowles,
industrial secretary, and Mrs. Dot
Vogel, health and recreational di-
rector.

After dinner everyone goes
upstairs to begin the evening
program which opens with a
devotional. This is always led
by Frank, a factory worker who
should have been a preacher.
There is always a sing led by
an Agnes Scotter and then the
main program which might be
a mock political campaign, a
United Nations program, or an
outside spe aker.
Interest groups, handicraft, dra-
matics, or dancing, follow the
main program. Then alj go down
to the big gym for a period of
social and square dancing until
10:30 p. m.

One member of the group is
the Industrial Regional repre-
sentative >t this area and is
going to. the San Francisco

Cention. The club is having
dances on Saturday nights to
raise money for the expenses
and Agues Scatters are invited
to come down and help put the
dances over.
To be with these people is a
real inspiration and much about
the true values of life can be
learned from them.

NAS Give Officer

(Continued from page 1)

will return next yc-ar to Munde-
lain as a junior to complete her
work on her degree.

NSA has been in the formative
stages for several years and the
constitution was ratified in 1947.
The purpose of NSA is to foster
the student's realization of his
responsibility to the world through
an exchange of ideas with students
on a nationwide basis.

Some of the projects include
NSA planned tours of foreign
countries in the summer, problems
of publications of the results, as
well as the art exhibit now on
tour.

Agnes Scott has been studying
NSA for several years and sent 24
observers to the regional assem-
bly. The observers represented
Student government, C. A., A. A.,
Mortar Board, and The News.

Delegates for other schools in
this section came from Georgia
Tech, Emory university, Alabama
State Teachers college, Florida
State, Bessie Tift, University of
Miami, Judson, Mercer, Wesleyan
college, Wesleyan conservatory,
University of Alabama, Alabama
Polytechnic institute, Shorter col-
lege, Birmingham Southern, More-
house college, Fort Valley State,
and Tuskeegee institute.

Food For Thought

Fifteen years from now we will be deciding international
questions rather than campus problems. Will we be pre-
pared? When we realize that students on our sister campuses
are entering into serious discussions, we wonder if thought
needs a rebirth at Agnes Scott.

C. A. feels that the basis for clear thinking in national and
international questions stems from a well defined personal
philosophy. We agree. To stimulate deep thinking and to
make Christian doctrines vital to our personal lives, C. A. is
sponsoring a trial series of informal discussions at Sunday
night "snack suppers".

The "food for thought" will be organized discussions on
such questions as, "What do I, myself, believe?", and "How
do we as students take Christianity into the world?". Such
campus problems as personal relations and attitudes will
also be considered.

Perhaps what we need is a stimulus to deeper thinking.
Well, C. A. is offering just this in its supper discussions.
Maybe you'll find your philosophy there. D. M.

Hungary Government Asks
Recall of Minister Chapin

By B. J. Sauer

The recall of U. S. Minister Seldon Chapin was demanded
Saturday by the Hungarian government.

Chapin's name was brought up in the recent Mindszenty
trial as an accomplice of the Cardinal both in the latter's
alleged activities against the state and in a pre-trial escape

lief to trapped families.

Gag Rule
The Senate Rules Committee
voted approval Wednesday of a
new anti-filibuster rule. Accord-
ing to this measure, debate could
be limited at any time by a two-
thirds vote of the Senate. The
Southern bloc plans to filibuster
this anti-filibuster bill when it is
called up for debate on the Senate
floor.

Austrian Treaty

Recently renewed Big Four
talks on the Austrian Treaty hit
the same old snag last week when
Russia reiterated her support of
Yugoslavia's claim to a slice of
Austrian territory. Russia also
proposed to bar Western military
advisors and technicians from
Austria after Allied occupation
ends.

Wholesale Food Priees Drop

For the past two weeks a sharp
drop in wholesale food prices has
held the attention of the nation.
Economic experts deny any threat
of a recession, while the American
public waits anxiously for a re-
sulting reduction in the high cost
of living.

This surprise recall demanded
by the Hungarian government is
the first known instance of such
a move in peacetime, and the U. S.
State Department has adopted a
noncommital attitude as to the
final action it will take on the
matter.

Earlier in the week the Hungar-
ian government asked for the re-
call of two members of the Ameri-
can legation in Budapest, and the
U. S., in retaliation, demanded the
recall of the First Secretary of
the Hungarian legation here.

Meanwhile repercussions'of the
Mindszenty trial have been heard
'round the world as Catholics and
Protestants alike protested this
violation of human rights. The
question may be appealed to U. N.
Western Blizzards Continue

Several new blizzards last week
increased the sufferings and dam-
ages in the already devestated
West. Over six thousand per-
sons remained isolated in the
Western Plains area, and the
death toll continued to mount.

Livestock remained stranded as
rescue crews concentrated on re-

Waterman Gift
Adds $100,000
For Campaign

A gift of $100,000 has been add-
ed to the campaign fund.

Dr. James R. McCain, presi-
dent, announced over the Found-
er's Day broadcast Tuesday, Feb-
ruary 22 that Agnes Scott has
received $100,000, the largest in-
dividual gift, from Mrs. John B.
Waterman.

According to Dr. McCain, this
will leave $390,000, or $1250 left
to raise every day until the end
of the year in order to reach the
campaign goal of $1,500,000.

Mrs. Waterman, who graduated
in the class of 1896, was Annie
Louise Harrison before she was
married. She majored in speech
while at Agnes Scott, and her
senior recital was so outstanding
that she was asked in 1946 to' re-
turn to the campus and give her
recital again.

Although she was not able to
return, Mrs. Waterman has re-
mained interested in speech, and
she specified that her gift be used
to endow the Annie Louise Har-
rison Waterman Chair of Speech.

Mortar Board Reveals
Clarkson As President

By Calico

Mortar Board tapped for their 1949 president, Cama Clark-
son a vivacious beauty, an artist, a scholar, and a religious
leader.

In a candlelit ceremony the 1948 members of Mortar Board
marched to Lupton last night to reveal their choice, and then
made a procession throughout the
dormitories to introduce Cama to
the campus as the new president.

Cama practically glowed with
excitement, continually wearing
the broad smile which has won her
a place in May Court and annual
beauty selection for two years.

Besides being a beauty, Cama
is very interested in art, par ic-
ularly the modern istyle. She
says she first became thoroughly
a defender of 20th century art
through her study with Miss Lo-
beck. Her one desire in the field
is not, however, to become a mod-
ern Rembrant, she says, but to
be able to convert as many skep-
tics of the new s ; tyle so that they
can enjoy it as much as she does.

In her major field of English
she staunchly declares, "Chau-
cer's my hero." Cama says she
particularly likes his sense of hu-
mor. Cama is an honor roll stu-
dent and besides English and art
lists philosophy as one of her in-
terests.

Cama comes from Chariot :e,
N. C. She was active in student
activities and held a class office.
Her one great regret, she says,
is that she never was a senior.

At the end of her sophomore
year in high school, Cama trans-
ferred to Saint Mary's which has
two years of high school and two
years college. She entered as a
freshman and after her sopho-

Cama Clarkson

more year transferred again, this
time to Agnes Scott.

Cama has shown an ac'.ive in-
terest in religious work and has
been a leader in her class since
her freshman year. She was vice-
president of freshman cabinet,
and publicity chairman on C. A.
her sophomore year.

This year she holds the position
of C. A. secretary and vice-presi-
dent of Canterbury club, an Epis-
copalian group on campus.

Other activities range from

Israeli, Egyptian Leaders
Meet' to Negotiate Peace

By B. J. Saucr

Israeli and Egyptian representatives met Thursday on the
Isle of Rhodes to sign an armistice that paved the way for
complete peace in the Holy Land.

Jsrael began negotiations with Trans jordan, Lebanon and
Syria this week and the remaining Arab states have indicated
a willingness to abide by decisions

reached in these talks.

Terms of the armistice includ-
ed: 1. Israeli occupation of most
of the Negeb Desert including ter-
ritory not allotted her in the U.
N. Partition Plan; 2. demilitari-
zation of a Palestine area extend-
ing from the outer limits of El
Arish on the Egyptian side to the
outer limits of Beersheba on the
Israeli side; 3. evacuation of en-
circled Egyptian forces in Faluja,
and 4. establishment of a seven-
man commission to supervise the
armistice including three men
from each side and a U. N. rep-
resentative.

North Atlantic Pact

Norway has announced her in-
tention to participate in the now-
pending North Atlantic Alliance.

The U. S. appears willing to ac-
cept a compromise "armed force"
clause in the proposed treaty pro-
vided that the clause is not inter-
preted as a definite moral com-
mittment to automatically go to
war should one of the signing
powers be attacked.

Administration vs A.M. A.

Controversy over the Adminis-
tration-sponsored Murray-Dingle
Health Bill, which calls for a pro-
gran? of socialized medicine,
reached a new high when the
American Medical association pro-
posed a rival program.

The A. M. A. plan stipulated
that a doctor with cabinet status
be named head of a Federal De-
partment of Health, and that this
Federal Department of Health
was to co-ordinate and integrate
all the nation's health activities.

Frost to Revisit
Campus March 12

Robert Frost, "Agnes Scott's" poet, will lecture here Sat-
urday, March 12, at 8:30 p. m. in Pressor hall. This will be
Mr. Frost's seventh visit to the campus an annual occasion
since 1944. His lecture will be open to the public.

''Hearing him read aloud with occasional comments does
more than either a course or a

library of introductions to poetry
to enable young or old to recog-
nize life in poetry and poetry in
life," comments Sidney Cox on the
value of Robert Frost's lectures.

Mr. Frost has won the Pulitzer
Prize for poetry four times, and
has been honored by Yale, Har-
vard, Columbia, Princeton, and the
University of California at Los
Angeles.

He has been professor of poetry
at various times at Dartmouth,
Amherst, Harvard, University of
Michigan, at Bradloaf Writer's
Conference in the summer, and at
Middlebury, Vermont.

A new edition of Robert Frost's
poetry is scheduled to go on sale
March 15. It contains his com-
plete works including, "Masque of
Reason", "Masque of Mercy", and
"Steeple Bush", his latest volumes.

Fla. Uniyersily Wins Cup
At All Southern Debate

By Dot Medlock

After seven rounds of debating, the negative team from
the University of Florida, coached by W. E. Eubanks, walked
off with the victor's cup at Pi Alpha Phi's All Southern De-
bate Tournament Friday and Saturday.

Second and third places for the negative teams went to the
University of Alabama's "B"
team and the University of North
Carolina's team respectively. Af-
firmative winners were the Uni-
versity of Alabama's "A" team,
Duke University, and the Univer-
sity of North Carolina.

Hayes Announces Awards

Awards were announced at the
closing banquet Saturday night
by George P. Hayes, faculty spon-
sor, and Dorothy Clements, de-
bate manager. The debaters
dined on "chicken in baskets",
and the serving was done by vol-
unteer Agnes Scott students.

Seventeen schools were repre-
sented in the tournament, and
119 rounds of debating took place
during the two days. The Agnes
Scott negative team, ineligible
for prizes, won five of the seven
rounds, losing to the University
of Alabama and the University
of Georgia. Barbara Quattle-
baum and Dot Medlock debated
for the negative.

Agnes Scott's affirmative team,
composed of Jessie Hodges and
B. J. Crowther, was unable to de-
bate because of the failure of one
of the teams to show up at the
last minute.

Spiro Plans For 1950

Dot Clements and the assistant
debate manager, Cissie Spiro, an-
nounced that the tournament was
a big success. Cissie is already
planning for Agnes Scott's All
Southern Debate Tournament of

Famous Trees on Campus
Spread Agnes Scott Fame

By Peggy Penuel

Five hundred dollars' worth of dogwood trees, a gift from
a recent graduating class, have been planted on the front
lawn, augmenting the many historical trees now standing on
campus.

Trees have played an important part in making the campus

the way it is today. Sidewalks , . _

the possibility of building Presser

hall became so enthralled with the
magnolia blossoms on the campus
that it was easy to persuade them
that Agnes Scott' should have a
music building.

Magnolia blossoms have been
sent from the campus to northern
cities on two occasions for great
receptions there. Large ship-
ments of over two hundred blooms
were sent to adorn the hall where
the receptions were held.

Twelve years ago over 300 of
the trees on campus were broken
up in the severe ice storm of
that year. However, with careful
pruning and cutting most of them
have been saved.

Sidewalks

have been built around them . and
drives have been changed on ac-
count, of 'them.

Two large oaks in front of
White House caused the adminis-
tration to change the planned
driveway in front of Main to avoid
cutting them down.

The dogwood tree in front of
Presser has been called the $10,-
000 dogwood because it occasioned
the change in the plans for Press-
er which cost that much.

They Spared That Tree

The tree first stood in the
front yard of W. Joe Frierson's
home, which was moved to make
way for the building. However,
the planners could not bring them-
selves to cut it down, and so the
practice rooms which were orig-
inally meant to be where the tree
stands were put in the basement.

The change later proved to be
a good one, for now all the extra
basement space is used for prac-
tice and classes.

The red oak in front of Re-
bekah hall is probably the largest
in Decatur, according to Dr. J. R.
McCain, and in the early morn-
ing its shadow is cast across the
railroad in front of the school.
It has been called the Senior Oak

Attention, Mediums!

Play by Play

By Margaret Brewer

Wanted! One thoroughly reliable, medium sized medium,
or mystic-looking fortune teller to edit the sports page for
the next hree quarters. Previous sports experience prefer-
red, but not necessary. Can get in touch with the present
sports editor by means of a seance anytime between mid-
night and a. m. Tuesday.

Yep, the ability to foresee the future has just been empha-
sized as a prerequisite for newspaper people by the
Associated Collegiate Press (A. C. P.) Every year
this society criticizes college papers, and awards certificates
to those that attain excellence in coverage, make-up, style
and type The News has just been criticized, and the sports
page scolded for playing up too many past events, and not
enough future ones. What hurts is the criticism is abso-
lutely justified. That is why it needs a fortune teller, or
reasonable facsimile.

Another fault pointed out was the duplication of informa-
tion in two different stories. What the society failed to ap-
preciate is that when we do get the information we really get
it. Most of the time it isn't got.

After such criticism on just one page of the News it's
a wonder anybody has been reading it at all. But they have.
Several people wanted to know what happened to the paper
last week, and just because we explained on the front page
why there wouldn't be a paper the next week doesn't mean
they don't read it.

But, getting back to that medium again, if anyone hears of
an unemployed mystic, please send the spirit by the News
room. Pay is good. All the sheets it can fill with nev/s,
sports news that is, and plenty of pencils, paper and sleep
to make disappear. And if that's not enough to make the
spirit feel at home, we have plenty of "Toombstones" (head-
lines of the same size and type set side by side another
criticism).

You know, it certainly would be nice if they had fortune
tellers skilled in foretelling exam questions. Sure could use
one in a few weeks.

Seniors Remain Undefeated
After Four Years Playing

By Charlie Keep
(Guest Reporter From Emory University)

The undefeated senior basketball team continued its win-
ning ways Friday night with a hard-earned 36-31 victory over
a determined but hapless sophomore six.

This win was especially impressive because it closed the
curtain on four years of competition without a blemish on

the senior record.

The sophomores had a 23-17
lead at the half. They lengthened
it to 26 points ftt the start of
the second half, and still held a
fairly comfortable 27-22 margin
until the last ten minutes of the
game.

But 'then the tide changed. The
surging seniors, led by Bunny
Brannan, swamped the sopho-
mores with a deluge of successive
baskets, pulling ahead 31-27.

Outstanding sophomore players
were Betty Esco with 17 points,
Virginia Kay with 5. and Betty
Z.egler with 4.

Individual high-scorer was Bun-
ny Brannan with 24 points.

Other outsanding seniors were
June Davis with 8 markers and
Reese Newton, guard.

In the freshman-junior match,
sharp shooting Ann Williamson
proved to be the big gun in the
26-22 junior victory. Wi'.h the

aid of teammate, Marguerite
Jackson, the juniors forged ahead
to victory in the closing minutes
of the game.

Probably the most outstanding
player of the tilt was Winnie
Strozier, freshman forward, whose
uncanny one-arm layups served
notice that in future years she will
be the girl to walch.

Senior line-up included for-
wards Marie Cuthbertson, Bunny
Brannan and June Davis. Guards
were Julia Blake, Julianne Cook,
Butch Hays, Nancy Huey, and
Reese Newton.

Those in the junior line-up were
Genie Paschal, Mary Louise War-
lick, Ann Williamson, Betty Van
Houten, Betty Philips, Marguer-
ite Jackson, Emily Ann Reid and
Sally Thompson.

S'ophomore line-up included
Forwards Virginia Kay, Betty Es-
co and Betty Ziegler. Guards
were Freddie Hachtel, Barbara

O. B. Keeler,
Sports Writer,
To Give Talk

" 'Breaks' play an important
part in the game of life, as well
as in sports, so be ready to take
the 'breaks'," will be the theme
of Journal sports columnist, O. B.
Keeler, in his chapel talk tomor-
row morning under the sponsor-
ship of A. A.

Mr. Keeler is recognized as one
of the foremost critics of golf by
the sports world today. He has
even written articles on that sub-
ject for the Encyclopedia Britan-
nica.

Columnist Keeler's career as a
golf critic began when he started
covering the history-making golf-
ing achievements of Bobby Jones,
of Atlanta. So intrigued was
Keeler with the skillful playing
of this master of the green, that
he became a faithful fan of the
golfer, and the only reporter to
covr every one of the thirteen
national championship games won
by Bobby Jones in the United
States and Great Britain.

Keeler was on hand to witness
Bobby Jones' "Grand Slam" in
1930, which is the term applied to
Jones' winning of Great Britain's
open- championship, which in-

Dorms, Faculty
Play Basketball

Something new has been added
in the basketball world. Dorms,
day students and members of the
faculty have taken up the sport.

Tomorrow at 4 p. m. the faculty
will battle it out among them-
selves to decide what team will
play the winners of the dorms,
cottages and day students.

Yesterday a team from Main
played the cottages, Rebekah
fought the DeKalb county day
students, and Inman was pitted
against Fulton day students.

Tomorrow, the winners from
each of these three student groups
and the faculty winners will battle
for the finals. Two winning
groups will play each other, and
the third group will play the fac-
ulty. There will then be two win-
ning teams left, and these will
fight for the final victory.

Team captains are: Inman, Hel-
en Jean Robarts; DeKalb day sto-
dents; Betty Phillips; Rebekah,
Fritz Hale; Main, Reese Newton;
Cottages, Ann Griggs; and Fulton
day students, Marguerite Jackson.

Futral and Jenelle Spear.

In the freshman line-up were

23 Days To Think

Next week's issue of The News will be dedicated to elec-
tions. Here's Who's Got What It Takes and Here's What It
Takes will monopolize both pages of the last issue of the
quarter. Despite rumors that may circulate we really aren't
just filling up space. We think they're important.

Here's What It Takes gives an economy-sized explanation
of the duties and qualifications of each office. Here's Who's
Got What It Takes really should be entitled Here's Who
Should Know What They're Doing for it is a list of the girls
who have had experience on different organizations.

Some don't. In any organization there are those who are
in the organization and then there are the few who do the
work.

From this list of girls the student body must weed out those
who just sit-in on the organizations, and nominate those who
are actually qualified to take over campus offices.

Nominating committee, composed of representatives from
all of the main organizations on campus, has been working
all quarter, discussing, debating, and finally agreeing on
their suggestions for nominations.

The student body has from now until March 24 to consid-
er their own choices.

After nominations, come elections and another test of
judgment. The best person must be selected from the pretty
good ones.

Elections decide two things. First they say who shall lead
the school for the next two years. Rising junior elections are
as equally important as rising senior elections, for it is from
these juniors who will be trained in the organizations this
year that the top officers of 1950-51 will come.

Second in consideration is the fact that elections decide
how a good many individuals will live for the next year. An
officer not only represents an organization and runs it but all
active officers live with their organizations. It's fun if you
like it and can do the job. It would be disastrous if other-
wise.

Elections sound like a great responsibility and they are.
If the wrOng person is chosen for office, not only the organ-
ization but the school and the person will suffer. It sounds
like too much to ask the student body to decide, but that's
democracy.

The News would like to suggest as a solution, some thought
plus some reading of every piece of information Student
government issues.

On top of that, talking to people in the organizations will
give a clearer picture of what qualifications are needed for
each job.

Then there are the committee nominations suggested by
seniors with no ulterior motive other than to see elected girls
who will not make the blunders they themselves have been
guilty of for the past year and who will be as fond of the or-
ganizations and the school as they are.

There are 23 more days in which to think.

Outsiders Look In

Because Agnes Scott played hostess to representatives from
15 different schools last week-end at the All-Southern De-
bate Tournament, we are beginning to realize the value of
more inter-collegiate get-togethers.

Besides broadening Agnes Scotters' outlooks toward people
and subjects "far from the reach", we hope that such occa-
sions will give outsiders a more inside view of Agnes Scott.
It's nice to watch the reaction of visitors on campus when we
tell them that we actually live by the honor system, and that
we don't have to be tucked in our beds by 10 p. m.

The Pi Alpha Phi of the past certainly should be compli-
mented on being the first club on campus to hold an inter-
collegiate meet, and the Pi Alpha Phi of the present should
be praised for keeping up this tradition.

Applause goes to Dot Clements, Mr. Hayes, and Cissie
Spiro for a lot of backstage work and some mighty smooth
"on stage" performances. From all accounts, the debaters
left Agnes Scott with a much brighter outlook toward us
than they had when they came. D. M.

Angel Hovers O'er ASC Gri P e Right

THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS

MEMBER

Associated Collegiate Press

It's sensational! It's colossal! But it's true. Agnes Scott
has a guardian angel.

The first sign of her interest came when those travel-weary
juniors were guiding Show Boat into port and CoppeUus'
dolls were eager to shed their "Red Boots". What with mid-
terms approaching, our Saint decided something must be
done. Her solution an ice storm with no lights, no heat, no
classes. As a result gained one day in bed.

A short time later our Angel came to the rescue of tired
frosh and sophs. The good lady arrived just in time to as-
sure research-weary freshmen that their permanent address
was not Stack 2, Carrel 5, A. S. C. library, and to help Tech
and Emory cut in on the handsome blond named Tom
Jones, who was monopolizing the sophomores time.

Our angel took definite action again. This time she pulled
the light switch. Results an hour of total darkness with
nothing to do but recuperate and play.

But it was this week-end that really convinced us of our
Angel's concern. Agnes Scott lassies were in sad shape. Pre-
mature spring weather had brought with it that sans wit,
sans vigor, sans vitality condition that spelled sure trouble.
Only two weeks 'til exams and far-away souls languidly
gazed out library windows in afternoons and reluctantly bid
dates good-night on the steps of Main each night.

The situation was getting drastic. Then our Angel flew in
once more. All in a flash it was spring no longer. Wintry
winds blew in sweeping cobwebs from neglected books and
day dreams from starry eyes. Startled, we settled back to the
grind. We were saved again.

We don't know who this angel is. Maybe C. A. has been
using their influence. At any rate, all we can say is we like
it and how about staying around through exams. J. P.

Jabberwacky

By Lee Cousar

Once upon an evening dreary, while I pondered in the
library,

Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a
sputter

And out went the lights!
Deep into that darkness peer-
ing, long I sat there wondering,
fearing,

Hoping, dreaming dreams oi
leniency in class tomorrow morn,

And the silence was unbroken,
save for gasps, from ail outbroken,

And the only words there spok-
en were the whispered words
"Oh, my Tom Jones paper!!"

"Outside of The Black"

Deep into that darkness turn-
ing, fear and bewilderment in me
burning, I felt
my way, book
by book out to
the main read- A
ing room, where M
I charged intofj
thirteen people, 1
which d i d n't
prove unlucky
since I didn't en- A
counter a n y |J
more (people)
after the thirteenth, had a con-
versation with one of the firm old
pillars supporting the library roof,
was slapped in the face by a
swinging leather door, and stag-
gered out into the glorious blind-
ing starlight.

There, finding numerous of my
cronies already engaged in de-
lightful and stimulating contests,
I joined the fun. First on the
agenda, our leader announced,
would be a challenging game of
"How to Deceive without the Ap-
pearance of Deceit," or, as it is
commonly called among plebeians,
"Rock School."

Played on the steps of Main,
this proved most enjoyable until
the seven persons who fell over
our persons raised such a howl
that we were forced to search for
another form of amusement.

Constructive Relaxation

4

A game of "Swing the Statue"
was then suggested by one of the
higher intellects, and we all as-
sented delightedly. In playing
this, the person who is "it" swings
each of the players around in
turn, lets her go, and commands
her to "freeze!" In 'the midst of
this sport, without any warning
whatsoever, the lights took com-
plete advantage of the situation
and returned.

In one corner of the quadrangl-i
knelt a figure resembling man-
before-he-evoluted; in another, an
outstanding student of Miss Wil-
liams' freshman fundamentals;
and nearby, a prone, lifeless fig-
ure, illustrating "It Took Only
Four Years," or, "The Results of
I a Liberal Arts Education."

the churches in the city of Tokyo
are crowded with the young peo-
ple, and many churches could not
admit them because of th^lack of
space. Of course all of them
would not become Christian. And
yet all of them would come to
know at least what the Christian
teaching is.

Through this work of mine, the
spirit of my Alma Mater will live
in 'this country ... It is such a
great joy and privilege for me to
realize this open chance for telling
many people of non-Christian
background of the saving message
of witnessing for Christ.

Dear Editors.

We would like to express our
thanks to Lecture association for
bringing Robert Frost to the cam-
pus again this year. We especial-
ly appreciate the effort made to
find a time convenient for stu-
dents. The Lecture series in fact,
the whole college year would
seem incomplete without Frost's
annual visit.

Frost-smitten poetry lovers are
anticipating the lecture itself, the
delightful side remarks, and the
pleasure of having "our own poet"
on campus. We really feel he be-
longs to the Agnes Scott tradi-
tion.

The campus" hope for his re-
turn has been immortally express-
ed "If winter comes, dan Frost
be far behind?" We hope not.

Gratefully,

Campus Slips

Upon seeing Bob Watson, WSB
radio announcer, in the Agnes
Scott lunch line last week, a
starry eyed freshman remarked,

"Gee, is that the announcer of
the Platter Party? I wonder what
he's doing here?

A nearby senior stoically re-
marked, "He's probably eating
lunch."

The visiting debators were quite
impressed with the rules and reg-
ulations of Agnes Scott. When
one visitor asked several students
if they would have a stick of
chewing gum, and each promptly
refused with "No thanks, I'd bet-
ter not," the visitors exclaimed,

"Oh, you can't chew either?"

One member of the French
table who was concentrating on
her meal and her French at the
same time caused quite a com-
motion when she tried to say that
something sounded like music to
her ears. What came out was

"Oh, that sounds like gravy to
my ears."

One of the debating teams
amazed their opponents by an-
nouncing,

"The United States has more
education per square, head than
has any other country."

eludes professionals, and the ama-
teur championship. Not satisfied
with this, Jones proceeded to cap-
ture the same honors in the Unit-
ed States the same year. He is
he only one who has ever done
this, and in Keeler's opinion, "Pob-
ably the only one who ever will.
No golfer before or since has won
more than two of these honors in
one season."

Keeler's reporting on the events
in Bobby Jones' career took him
to Europe three time, chalked up
100,000 miles of traveling for him,
and supplied material for hun-
dreds of columns on Bobby Jones
and golfing. So closely connected
has the name Keeler become with
that of Bobby Jones as the results
of his biographical sketches of
the famous golfer, that Keeler has
been called "Bobby Jones' Bos-
well."

But, though golf is his specialty,
O. B. Keeler agrees with his fa-
vorite writer-reporter, Rudyard
Kipling, that "The greatest game
that all of a man can play" is
reporting life for a newspaper.

Whoever You Are,
Whatever You Do

Gals-About

By Billie Powell

It's hard to believe. This is the last issue of the News under
the present regime. Time for us ole tired seniors to step
aside and make way for you junior-gals with the brand new
ideas, with pep and enthusiasm to take over.

It sure has been wonderful fun writing about the delgiht-
ful escapades of you busy, popu-

lar people about fraternity for-
mals you went to, about your
weekend jaunts home or to nearby
college towns, or about those
beautiful pins or rings you ac-
quired. But it hasn't been easy
to make it read like anything
more scintillating than a short
spiel through the student direc-
tory. Anyway here's hoping this
column has found its way into
lots of scrapbooks so that
along with the crushed gardenias
or the time-yellowed nobreak
card it will remind you twenty
years from now of a wonderful
evening spent at the SAE house at
Emory, or at an IFC dance at
Tech, of a cold rainy, but fun

Drake to Lead

may be in the offing for Agnes
Scott students. Miss Lillie Belle
Drake, instructor in Spanish, will
conduct a tour of Central Ameri-
ca this summer under the aus-
pices of the Pan American Air-
lines. . ^

Miss Drake will show pictures
of the countries included in the
tour at the regular Spanish club
meeting April 7 at 5 p. m. in 103
Buttrick. Anyone interested in
the tour is invited.

This tour will not be a new ex-
perience for Miss Drake, for she
has previously conduct ed two such
tours to Mexico.

The longest stops win be made
in Merida to see the Mayan ruins
of Chichen Itza and Uxmal, Gua-
temala for a trip ito the high-
lands and lake region, and San
Jose to see the vJcano of Irazu

'Aggie Marches Up To Bat
As Ump Yells Vlay Ball!'

For it's with one! two! three! shouts you'll be out for the
old ball game this spring!

Eighty seven students have signed up for the Softball class
just installed in the physical education department with Miss
Helena Williams as "Coach."

Three old bases and a brand
new, all rubber home plate will
mark the points of the softball
diamond on the hockey field. All
the rest of the equipment is new
gloves, balls, bats, chest protec-
tors, masks and mits.

Besides the regular class, there
will be practice every Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday after-
noons from 4 to 6. Every Friday
games between classes will be
played from 4 to 6 p. m.

Those interested in softball
met last Friday and elected class
managers. "Coaches" for the
classes are freshmen, Joan Rob-
erts; sophomores, Jimmie Ann
McGee; junior, Gretta Moll; sen-
iors, Irene McLeod.

The juniors had the largest
number of students out for soft-
ball last week, and the freshmen
and seniors expect more players.

Play by Play

By Margaret Brewer

Where do old broken down,
sports editors go when the game
is over?

I got to worrying about this
night before last when the old
News' staff was putting the paper
to bed for the last time. It sorta'
made me realize how the Old Year
feels when it hobbles out as the
New Year prances in. Father
Time takes care of decrepit years,
but what of editors?

In a frenzy I went to a place
called the Fourth Estate and
talked to the manager. His an-
swer was sensational. Has-been
editors become ghost writers.
They are dragged off to a grave-
yard and executed by a blow on
the head from a typewriter, a stab
in the back by a copy hook, pois-
oned with ordinary ink, or stran-
gled with pages of copy accord-
ing to how much they tortured
:heir long-suffering readers. This
is an absolutely necessary pro-
cedure to get exceess editors out
of this world.

So I've resigned myself to my
fate. Have even smarted compos-
ing an epithet for my tombstone
"Here, as on earth, 'lies' a
newspaperwoman. May she rest
from the press!" And though I've
taken my last official look at the
old News room with typeridden
typewriters, there's no law
against "ghosts" visiting their old
"haunts" in fact they're expect-
ed to do a little haunting now and

then. So, new sports editor, if
you feel a breeze over your shoul-
der some night, it's only a . shade
scrutinizing your sheet.

But maybe all is not over. If
I'tm granted one last wish, a
courtesy due all those to be ex-
ecuted, I'll ask to be spared long
enough to offer and complete a
toast to all my readers. I'll raise
my glass of printer's ink and say
"Here's to you . . . and you . . .
and you . . . May you each live
a hundred years. Here's to me
. . . may I live a hundred years
. . . less one day ... for I'd hate
to be on this earth after you . . .
and you . . . and you . . . had all
passed away.

Senior Editors Exchange
Printers Ink for Suntan

With an affectionate pat to the new typewriter, we, the
senior editors, pack the bags under our eyes, put our last
News in print, and take a final early morning stroll across
campus with Mr. Welborn.

This afternoon the new editors begin the merry round of
conferences, aftenoon dates with the printing press, and Sun-
day, Monday ,and always with ink on their hands.

We will to the next staff, along with the copy hook and the
news room, the challenge of growth we found in The News.
Every hour we gave, or gave up for the paper, was doubly
repaid in those intangibles for which Agnes Scott is so
famous.

We leave behind the stimulating life of striving each week
for a better paper to build it into a constructive rather than
just a critical influence on campus.

Obviously, "time marches on" and "the old order chang-
eth" into bathing suits for sunning, cool cottons for casual
Wednesday afternoon reading of The News, and high spirits
for enjoying the position of a third quarter senior. The
New ; s, we shed.

But obviously, we'll miss it.

Gone is February, month of mid-winters, mid-quarter ter-

'Swan Song' Sums Up
Advice For Successor

By Lee Cousar

"Swan songs" are of many types, all painful and usually
more so to the hearer than to the one who signs off. Hence,
my dear readers, summon up your inner fortitude, while I,
in the words of Hamlet's father's ghost, say "Adieu, adieu,
adieu ..." (Students of Shakespeare will note the ommission
of the latter part of the quotation

and will give thanks accordingly.)

Farewell addresses usually run
along one of several lines. Some
are the apologetic or I'm-sorry-
I - done - what - I - done - but
I - didn't - know - better type.
Here let me pause for a moment
to make my apologies first, to
the victims who were unfortunate
enough to pass before my eye ten
minutes before DEADLINE and
were hence thrust into print; sec*
or.dly, to the readers who contend-
ed nobly and loyally each week
with this column; and lastly, to
hat. blue-coated figure who un-
locked Murphy Candler at
such peculiar hours of the night.
To all I say I'm sorry but I
didn't know no better.

Another familiar type of fare-
well address is that of armonition
or instruction. This usually be-
gins with "No a* look here!" and
ends with a shaking finger and a

stern "You do like I say!" It is
my principal desire to instruct my
readers. Please, dear sufferers, if
you know anything that might
have possibilities for a frantic col-
umnist to put in a frantic column,
don't hesitate to bring your little
gems to light. Rest assured, if
she has to rely on her imagination
well, almost anything can hap-
pen!

A third and last swan song sub-
ject (note alliteration) is "Ad-
vice to the Successor." My first
suggestion to that blessed person
ts: never begin your column until
fifteen minutes before deadline
because you'll never finish it un-
til deadline anyho # w. But I would
like to pass on to this person some
advice which I think will prove
even more helpful just before

Associated Collegiate Press

By Mary Alice MacDonald

In anybody's language, a trip to New York sounds like
something out of the Magic Carpet tales in "Arabian Nights".

Miss Roberta Winter and Miss Priscilla Lobeck were the
genii responsible for this wonderful, adventurous four day
vacation.

A warm Thursday night not too
long ago by the calendar, but eons
ago by the imagination, a group of
15 girls from Agrees Scott board-
ed the Silver Comet headed
straight for New York.

The group ranged in traveling
experience all the way from Pat-
ty Persohn, who makes the trip
four times a year, to Betsy Baker,
who had never ridden a stream-
liner. ,

Richmond . . . Fredericksburg
. . . Alexandria . . . and finally
Washington, D. C. The train
paused and everyone leaped off
and dashed through the station
te get a glimpse of the capitol.
Fifteen minutes is pretty short
even for a train station tour of
Washington, but the capitol, Lin-
coln Memorial, and the cherry
trees provided conversation from
there to Baltimore.

Then came Philadelphia and
Trenton in the midst of a real
snowstorm and before long, the
train was going through the tun-
nel under the Hudson River and
easing into Pennsylvania Station,
only three hours late. But he^e
was New York !

The four days passed by in such
a hurry. They were filled to c\-
pLcity with plays, sightseeing,
riding subways, and eating at in-
teresting places. Friday night,
Miss Lobeck gave a demonstration
of how to twirl spaghetti around
a fork at a delightful Italian res-
taurant in the basement of an o'.d
brownstone mansion.

Then a musical called "Leixd
an Ear" was on schedule. Of
course everyone particularly en-
joyed Betsy Baker's chagrin af-
ter realizing that she had asked a
big policeman at Times Square
directions to "Lend Me an Ear."

Saturday dawned bright and
cold and seven forty-five came
mighty early. This day was be-
gun by an interesting trip to the
Metropolitan Museum of Art on
a double-decker bus and was end-
ed by seeing Maxwell Anderson's
new play, "Anne of the Thousand
Days" interspersed with a trip zo
the top of the Empire State Build-
ing and seeing "High Button
Shoes" or "A Streetcar Named
Desire".

In case you haven't heard by
now, there is a celebrity in our
midst. None other than Mary
Wilson. She brought glamour and
a little more excitement to the
visit by winning a bedroom suite
on the radio show "Stop the Mu-
sic."

Fred Waring's program and a
visit to Radio City filled Monday

Campus Slips

It happened the day we topped
off our lunch with those appetiz-
ing apricots. Said Sarah Tucker
as she toppled hers over, and a
round, yellow apricot rolled out
on the tray, "That looks like the
yellow part of an agg."

Then cracked Todd McCain,
"That's a yolk, son."

"Eggzactly," said another. They
were really shelling them out.

A junior came running at top
speed up the steps of Main the
other night about five minutes
late, several "Five Minutes More"
dates began a realistic interpreta-
tion of Spike Jones' record,

morning completely. Monday af-
ternoon was practically fatal to
everyone, for that was the time
set aside for shopping. Fifth
Avenue seemed almost like Peach-
tree Street; everywhere you
turned you saw an Agnes Scott
girl.

Monday night was reserved for

dinner at a French cafe and the
play. "Mister Roberts." Then
those of the group who possessed
iron constitutions went on the
Staten Island ferry to see the
Statue of Liberty by night.

Tuesday arrived all too quickly
and once again fifteen girls board-
ed the train. The return trip was
similar to the first, except that
everything was reversed. These
four days of narrow escapes in
subways, midnight parties, and
constant rush are about the four
most discussed days around Agnes
Scott.

Congress Votes Rent Control
Shelves Veterans' Pension Bill

By B. J. Saucr

Senate and House conferees agreed Saturday to a com-
promise bill which would extend rent control 15 months to
June 30, 1950, subject to decisions made under the included
"home rule" clause.

The only major conflict remaining after the conference
broke up Saturday night was the

Friday, Representative Rankin
introduced a new pension bill
which seemed to meet with gen-
eral approval. This plan would
authorize 72-dollar monthly pen-
sions for 65 year-old veterans of
World War I, provided they were
honorably discharged and actually
in need.

The Communist Cause
Communists lost 12 per cent of
their strength in French county
elections last week. Queuille's
middle-of-the-road coalition
government won a victory when
the parlies supporting him re-
ceived 51-2 per cent of the votes.

In West Berlin the Soviet Mark
was outlawed as negotiable cur-
rency. The low-value Soviet
Mark was causing inflationary
problems in the Allied secors.

The Soviet-sponsored North Ko-
rean People's Democratic Repub-
lic signed a 10-year economic and
cul.ural co-operation agreement
with the Soviet Union last week
The Reds have announced their
intention fo close consular offices
in Iran. Recent developments dis-
closed extreme tension between
the two countries, especially in the
disputed portion of the district of
Gurgan where Russians and Iran-
ians both have troops and where
one Iranian soldier was recently
reported killed and two others
captured by the Russians.

question of relief to landlords.
Managers of the bills were unable
to reach a point of mutual ac-
cord between the House's pro-
posed "reasonable return" provi-
sion and the two five per cent
rent increases included in the
Senate bill.

The "home rule" clause agreed
upon includes features of both
House and Senate bills. Under
this clause, any incorporated city,
town or village can obtain decon-
trol by action of its governing
body plus approval of the state
governor after public hearings.
In addition, entire states could
be freed of control or* put under
state rent regulations by action
of their legislatures.

Committe members are working
against a Thursday deadline, for
the present bill expires March 31.
Controversial Pension Bill
Shelved

Representative Rankin's amend-
ment-riddled, multibillion-dollar
pension bill was killed by one vote
Thursday, when the House voted
to send it back to committee.

This bill, as drawn up by Ran-
kin, would have given automatic
pensions of 90 dollars a month to
veterans of both world wars when
they reached the age of 65. Econ-
omise had estimated that the
bill would have "cost the govern-
ment 125 billion dollars in the
next 50 years.

Campus's Outstanding Actress Will Receive
Bennett Cup After Blackfriars Play Thursday

The campus' outstanding actress for this year will be rec-
ognized at the presentation of the Claude S. Bennett trophy
immediately after the Blackfriars' spring production, "No
Way Out", Thursday night, April 7.

The presentation of the award was started in 1932 as the
Blackfriars cup with the aim of

infusing new life and impetus into
the dramatic organization. The
following year, as a Blackfriars
member was looking for the cup
to purchase for the 1933 award,
she visited the shop of Mr. Claude
S. Bennett. When Mr. Bennett,
whose wife had been an Agnes
Scott student, found out about the
award, he asked to be allowed to
give the trophy each year as a
token of appreciation for Agnes
Scott's service to young women
and to the community through its
graduates.

Since 1933, the Blackfriars cup
has been the Claude S. Bennett
trophy. Last year, the trophy
went to Grace Durant, then a
senior, of Mobile, Alabama.

The judging for the trophy is on
the basis of the participation of
the actresses in any plays during
the school year. The judges this

year are Mrs. Alan Ferry, a direc-
tor, now connected with Yale Uni-
versity; Richard Joel, professor
at Emory University and drama
critic last summer for the Harts-
ford Courant; Mrs. Joseph C.
Massee, Blackfriars alumna; and
Miss Mary Louise Hastings, Vas-
sar graduate who spent last sum-
mer in Europe studying dramatics
on a scholarship from Vassar.
All the judges are from Atlanta.

Suspense is the keynote of the
play, 'VNo Way Out". Tickets
have been on sale this week and
may be secured tomorrow night at
the door. There have been some
changes in the cast

Tom Gordon will take Jack Mc-
Bride's place in playing the lead-
ing male role as Dr Niles Hil-
liard. Rowland McClellan will
play the part Tom Gordon was
previously scheduled to play.

Board quarterly, gave the address.
She presented to the Mortar
Board members of the future a
challenge and a responsibility
when she said, "To have served

well, not for points but for the
sake of the good; to have studied
well, not for grades but for the
sake of the true and the beautiful;
to have led well, not for power

Balls, Dances, Picnics Climax
Spring Week-end Excitement

By Harriot Ann McGuire

The launching of a spring society column, when social activities
are buzzing, is most exciting and encouraging. Everybody on campus
is doing something and it's fun finding out who's doing what. This ex-
citing week of elections and Mortar Board announcements was cli-
maxed in a week-end of balls, dances, and picnics.

Belles, Beaux Dance at Beaux Arts Ball

As the spring session of classes began this week at Tech., the social
life started again with several dances. Friday night the Architect
students gave the Beaux Arts costume ball. Each couple dressed to
represent a book which was banned in Boston. Several of the out-
standing couples were noted. Charlotte Bartlett and her date went
in Naval uniforms. Charlotte's dog must have read the book because
he hasn't been seen since. ("No Dogs or Sailors Allowed", that is.)
In costumes of crocus sacks and turnips, Cama Clarkson and her
date represented "Tobacco Road".

Greenery, Gals Enhance Chemists Picnic

Saturday afternoon the Chemical Engineers at Tech gave a party
at North Fulton park. In the woods full of dogwood, Annelle Simpson,
Marg Hunt, Sara Jane Campbell, and Flossie Williamson enjoyed a
picnic supper and dancing.

Uniformed Tech-ites March and Dance

The gala week-end at Tech was topped off with the annual military*
ball. Many Agnes Scott belles, in their hoop skirts, and with their
dates in full dress uniform, enjoyed dancing to the smooth music of
Claude Thornhill's orchestra. Highlights of the ball were the pres-
entations of the sponsors of all the military divisions and the impres-
sive ceremony of tapping the Scabbard and Blade honorary fraternity.
This group with their dates was honored at a breakfast at Tubby's
Attic following the ball.

Loving Cup Favors Highlight ATO Ball

Adelaide Ryall, Sybil Corbett, Pat Lancaster, Cornelia Dickerson,
and Dot Medlock attended a banquet at the American Legion club
and danced to the music of the Auburn Knights at Peachtree Gardens.
The girls received attractive loving cups as favors to remember the
ATO spring formal.

K. A.'s Kaper at Sky Roof

Dancing under the stars at the Sky Roof were the Emory KA's and
their dates Friday night. Just lots of Agnes Scott girls were there,
Susan Hancock, who is now sporting a KA pin, Marcy O'Farrell,
Easy Beale, Sally Ellis, Mary Jo Ammons, Barbara Brown, Newell
Turner, Mim Steele, Terrell Warburton, Billie Powell, Betty Asbill,
Lulie Hunt, Julianne Morgan, Tiny Morrow, Marguerite Jackson,
Charlotte Lea, and Alta Waugaman. The sponsor, our own Val von
Lehe, was in the spotlight during one of the dances.

Foolhardy Fraternities Frolic at Emory

Friday being the first day of April, the spirit of the fool went wild
at Emory's Skitsofrenia. Seen there were Jane D. Cook, Barbara
Young, Jackie Sue Messer, Joanne Peterson, B. J. Crowther, Cathie
Davis, Jean Osborn, Jane Oliver, Bet Linton, Louise Arant. The
fool got over to Tech, too, I hear.

Week-end Emigrants Enjoy Home

Several of our colleagues went home to see how spring looks there:
Jean Harper, Mary Frances Perry, Virginia Vining, Hanna Wood,
Betty Beddingfield, Betty Blackmon and Jo Anne Christopher.

Spanish Movie
Set for Thurs.

Movies of the life and customs
of Mexico and Central America
will be shown at the Spanish club
meeting tomorrow afternoon at
5 p. m. in 103 Buttrick. Preceding
the travelogue will be a talk at
4:30 p. m. by a representative of
the Travel Mart. He will present
more definite information about
the features and prices of a tour
to Latin America.

Tentative plans are being made
by Miss Lillie Belle Drake, in-
structor in Spanish, either to con-
duct a concentrated tour of Mex-
ico or a more general tour of
Mexico and Central America this
summer.

Music Instructors
To Present Recital
In Chapel Thursday

Miss Ruth Dabney Smith and
Mrs. Paul Bryan, part-time in-
structors of music at Agnes Scott,
will play for the campus com-
munity during chapel hour Thurs-
day, April 7.

Miss Smith, violinist, accom-
panied by Mrs. Bryan, pianist,
will perform "Andante" from
Symphonic Espagnole by Lalo,
"Gypsy Dance" by Nachez, and a
Brahms' waltz.

Mrs. Paul Bryan will play the
following piano selections; "In-
termezzo" opus 117 by Brahms,
"The Prophet Bird" by Schu-
mann, and "Gardens in the Rain"
by Debussy.

Emory Group
Will Present
Vocal Recital

The annual spring concert by
the Emory Glee club, Dr. Mal-
colm H. Dewey, director, will be
presented at 8:15 p. m. Wednes-
day at Glenn Memorial auditor-
ium. William Landiss, club pre-
sident, announces the program
used on the tour to Washington,
D. C, will be repeated at this
concert.

The Emory university singers
were acclaimed for their perfec-
tion of ensemble, throughout the
itinerary in Georgia, North Caro-
lina, Virginia and the District of
Columbia.

The program, in the two open-
ing groups, will include works by
Beethoven, Grieg, Schubert, Schu-
mann, Secchi, Hasler, Leisring,
and Bach. Other featured num-
bers will consist of Negro spiri-
tuals, musical comedy excerpts,
and nursery rhymes.

Skifs Will Illustrate Manners
For Roman Banquet Saturday

The ''latest" in Roman footwear, dress, hair fashions, and
table manners will be demonstrated in chapel this week in
preparation for the Roman banquet Saturday, April 9 at 5:30
p. m.

When libations are poured to the gods, and flute girls play,
Eta Sigma Phi will be contributing
to the college community in two
ways. The classics fraternity will
provide for the first time the op-
portunity for students and faculty
of Agnes Scott to attend an au-
thentic Roman banquet. The dec-
orations, food, dress, and enter-
tainment will resemble those of
Roman days as much as possible.

The second contribution of this
organization to the college will be
the raising of funds for the cam-
paign.

Flute girls Downing, Leyburn,
and Lobeck, usually members of
the library, English, and art de-
partments, will entertain the
guests during the banquet. Miss
Elizabeth Zenn, assistant profes-
sor in the ' classics department,
w^ill give a tragedy recitation,
and Butch Hayes will execute a
Roman style pantomine.

Laurel, Mississippi Miss Tuck'
Opens Thumbnail Sketches

Ely Helen Edwards

Sarah (spelled with an h, please) Ellen Tucker is the legal
name; but if you say Tuck at Agnes Scott, everyone knows
that you are talking about the same blue-eyed blonde from
Laurel, Mississippi, to whom the formal cognomen belongs.

Tuck's being elected president of the Student body cli-
maxes a career that she began as

a freshman. Shortly after she ar-
rived at Agnes Scott, she was
elected to Lower house. The next
year she represented her class on
Student government and last year
was elected chairman of Lower
House.

Being able to keep a secret is
one of Tuck's most steadfast qual-
ities. Her last year's duties en-
tailed the execution of fire drills,
and so well did she connive that
she threatened a few friendships
several drills found some of
Tuck's cottagemates in the bath
tub.

Mia Slavenska
Leads Dance

By Honey Browning

The All-Star Concert Series
Saturday presented Mia Slaven-
ska and her Ballet Variante which
marked the beginning of a new
approach to ballet. A former mem-
ber of the Ballet Russe de Mon-
te Carlo, Mia Slavenska is seek-
ing to bring the highlights of bal-
let development to cities through-
out the country.

Saturday night's performance
was a delightful combination of
classical ballet and modern dance.
The lighting was skillfully done;
against the single background of
drapes, the costumes were color-
ful and extremely effective. An
unusual duo-piano accompani-
ment added to the simplicity.

Though Mia Slavenska's danc-
ing was completely charming and
graceful, she and her dancers
seemed more at home in the light-
er modern ballets than in more
difficult classical excerpts such as
"The Sleeping Beauty."

Her talent for ballet is unde-
niable, for much of the costume
design and choreography was her
own. With more experience the
group should develop into a lead-
ing concert attraction.

A rising senior, Tuck is double
majoring in French and history.
She hopes to work with the State
Department after graduation.

Having been tied up with Stu-
dent Government activities, the
new president hasn't had too
much time for other extra-cur-
ricular activities. Had she had
time, however, she would take
more interest in swimming and
golf. The latter is out for the
moment, and her latest record is
four holes in two hours and she
won't tell the score.

Tuck always has a friendly
smile for everyone, but if you real-
ly want to get on the right side
of Tuck, all you have to do is
give her a piece of chocolate cake
with caramel icing.

Art Exhibit Reviews
Mayan Civilization

By Evelyn Foster

The art exhibit which was on
display last week on the third
floor of Buttrick was a pictorial
review of the ancient Maya civi-
lization as revealed in its art. This
exhibit was based largely on ma-
terial from a recent issue of
"Life" magazine.

Contrary to popular belief, the
Maya civilization as we have evi-
dence of it today and as was
shown in the exhibit, was not at
all primitive. Rather, it was high-
ly cultured and intellectual. Study
of architectural and sculptural re-
mains have brought forth conclu-
sive proof of this fact.

The Mayas devised in the fourth
century B. C. a brilliant and com-
plex system of numeration by po-
sition, and used the figure "O"
hundreds of years before it was
employed in Europe.

They were the first people in
the world ,to see the necessity for
having a starting point for their
calendar, which, invented also in
the fourth centry B. C, was more
accurate than our own.

In addition to disclosing many
other interesting facts concern-
ing the Mayas, their life, their
culture, and their religion, the ex-
hibit offered an esthetic, appre-
ciative approach to this strange,
"new" art.

Play by Play

Sports Ed Starts Ball Rolling
As New Year Begins at ASC

By Marguerite Jackson

A new year (according to the Agnes Scott election calen-
dar) is beginning, spring quarter athletics are beginning and
a new sports editor is attempting to begin one that eats,
drinks, sleeps, and breathes sports but has a terrible time try-
ing to write 'em up.

Taking over where a' good
sports editor left off is always a
difficult task, but particularly so
when she has been one of your
closest friends all through college.

The thought of letting her down
or destroying the fine readership
she has built up kinda makes you
shudder. It makes you realize,
too, that you have a triple respon-
sibility one to her as well as one
to the Agnes Scott News and its
readers.

It's going to be hard to give you
all the "Play by Play" accounts
of events down around the gym
as Margaret did, but we'll start
the ball rolling in that direction.

Already, one of your editor's
prayers for help has been answer-
ed. A freshman who just loves to

write (and knows how, too. We've
read some of her work) asked if
she could write features for the
sports page. Her name was im-
mediately signed in indelible ink
on the dotted line.

Now if someone would volun-
teer for straight sports news,
your editor's prayers would all
be answered. With another re-
porter to help Charlotte Key cov-
er the games and A. A. happen-
ings, the sports staff would be
complete. Then your editor
would only have to send out as-
signments, edit copy and write
headlines for her page and write
"Play by Play" which is all the
sports editor is really supposed
to do.

Trains 'Aggie
In Golf Basics

By Lee Cousar

"We are not trying to train
champions but good players," re-
marked Mr. Harold Sargeant,
golf professional at East Lake
Country Club, of his 50-girl golf
class at Agnes Scott.

These classes, which have been
conducted each spring since 1938
by Mr. Sargeant, are to teach the
fundamentals of golf to students.
Evidence of the success of the
classes may be seen in the num-
erous women golfers in Atlanta
alone who first learned to grip a
golf club in an Agnes Scott class.

Four Mondays during the spring
quarter of each year, Mr. Sar-
geant, who is president of the
southeastern Professional Golf-
ers Association, comes out to the
college and instructs his group of
beginners in the basic rules of
proper golfing. Two other days
during the week the class meets
with Miss Llewellyn Wilburn in-
structing. Late ip the quarter,
when the golfers have progressed
beyond the beginner stage, the
the group will move to the near-
by Atlanta greens where the stu-
dents will play a real 18-hole
game. *

Newly elected major organization heads are, front row,
Ann Williamson, president of Christian Association, Mary
Louise Warlick, president of Athletic association, and Cama
Clarkson, president of Mortar oBard. Back row, Frankie
Howerton, editor of the "Aurora", Dot Medlock, editor of
"The News", Sarah Tucker, president of Student govern-
men, and Sarah Hancock, editor of the "Silhouette".

Spring Turns New Leaves

Spring is not the only thing turning over new leaves on
campus. Student government is doing it, Christian Associa-
tion is doing it, and so is Athletic association; not to mention
the "Silhouette", the "Aurora", the "Agnes Scott News",
and a number of other organizations.

This is a new regime. Like Spring, we're green as grass. A
whole new year is before us and it's long! We have it to do
with as we please, and doing this, we'd like to live up to a
wonderful example set by the "old regime".

Just like March, the new officers are rushing in like lions,
only to go out next Spring like the proverbial lambs.

Slings and Arrows

Budding Hamlets Leave Mark
On Campus Speech Changes

By Peggy Penuel

I suppose I should begin this column with some sort of trite
statement about making a new beginning and such things,
but, thinking of nothing (I always do) which would be less
trite than usual, I shall give up the effort and go on to other
things.

One could get around this dif-
ficulty, you know, by quoting
something from Shakespeare, but
all I can think of is "Nymph, in
thy orisons be all my sins remem-
bered," and I have an idea that
that isn't quite appropriate.

Speaking of Shakespeare, have
you ever noticed what studying his
plays can do to the vocabulary?
One finds oneself unfit for con-
versation with anyone else except
those who are also studying him,
for everyone else is likely to be
somewhat suspicious when you ap-
proach them with "Good morrow",
or answer a question with "Aye,
marry, 'tis truly said."

Trusting Chorus

And there are few people who
understand the beauties of Shake-
spearean epithets as put into the
mouth of Falstaff. Katherine
Geffcken was downright insulted
the other day when Dot Porter
Clements and I greeted her with
"Hello, pint-pot!" and "Hello,
tickle-brain!" She didn't seem
to understand that we were just
demonstrating our familiarity
with "Henry IV".

When Margaret Webster
brought her production of "Ham-
let" to the school, she had to con-
tend with a situation which was
probably unique in her whole life
history. The play was given on
the day after the quiz on "Ham-
let", which Dr. Hayes gave to his
Shakespeare class, requiring us
to learn 100 lines of the play in
not more than two selections.

The actors in the play may have
been surprised at the little mur-
mur going over the audience as
they came to the memory lines
learned by various students. The
man who played the king and I
recited his opening speech in uni-
son, adding, I thought, tremen-
dously to the overall effect and
the great confusion of people in
the next few rows.

Alfred Ryder could not have
forgotten his lines in a single so-
liloquy without the help of a dozen
voices to fill in the words for him.
Occasionally, there was a little in-
dignant sputter from some mem-
ber of the Shakespeare class as
she proclaimed in a stage whisper,
"He left out a line!"

Churchill Emphasizes Faith;
Truman Pushes Health Laws

0

By Nancy Huey

Speaking in conversational tones and building up to one
of his great climaxes, Winston Churchill summoned people
to age-old human optimism and courage, in his address at
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. While he spoke of
the dangers of war and of aggressors who threatened peace,
he spoke mostly of hope and of
faith.

He asserted that world peace
now hangs on the continued pos-
session of the atomic bomb secret
by this country. For all his aware-
ness of evil in the world, he em-
phasized the infinite riches and
diversity of the human spirit.

He praised the Marshall Plan
and the Atlantic Pact. And then,
after speaking once more of the
association of the British and
American peoples, he came to
this conclusion, "Let us move for-
ward together, in discharge of our
mission and our duty, fearing
God and nothing else." These
words show the dauntless spirit of
the man, humble before God, but
unafraid before all men.

Pact Reality

The Atlantic Pact is now an es-
tablished reality. Following re-
jection of the protests from the
Soviet Union, twelve nations
signed the Atlantic Pact Monday
afternoon. Top diplomats of Bel-
gium, Canada, Denmark, France,
Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, The
Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
the United Kingdom and the Unit-

ed States gave final approval,
without change, to the text of the
treaty.

The American Government's po-
sition on the treaty, as voiced by
a top State Department official,
is that this treaty is only a defens-
ive measure. The treaty con-
forms wtih both the spirit and
letter of the charter of the United
Nations, and is not directed
against any nation or group of
nations, but only against armed
aggression.

Welfare Proposal

The Truman Administration
plans to ask Congress soon to ap-
prove a multi-billion-dollar omni-
bus health program, of which com-
pulsory health insurance would be
only one of six major features.
The others are Federal aid for
medical schools and research, for
health cooperatives, for rural
areas, and for new hospitals.

Coincidentally with this an-
nouncement, five senators, head-
ed by Hill' (Demo., Ala.) intro-
duced a bipartisan bill for vol-
untary health insurance based on
payroll deductions.

tative to Athletic association, an

mony was Catherine Chance, for-

"To scratch or not to scratch, that is the election.." During
the past week many students have had an itchingly good
time. Why? Well, here at Agnes Scott we have a rather
strange custom; if a girl does not wish to run for an office,
all she has to do is scratch. Yet whenever a girl scratches
in chapel, everyone giggles. Let

us consider this word.

Webster says, "scratch, v. to
rub or tear the surface with some-
thing sharp or rugged." Declin-
ations are often rugged, but we
hope the surface is never torn. I
am sorry, but I guess Webster was
never on campus during election
week.

As a noun, scratch means a
breaking of the surface. The next
time that you go to a fraternity
dance, and you wish to break the
surface, I suggest that you
scratch. If your date does not
understand, then you will know
that his name isn't Webster. If
you know his name isn't Webster,
then you have a good chance of
finding out exactly what his name
is. Thus the surface will be brok-
en!

There have beer* many famous
quotations about scratching. The
most famous was uttered during
a Revolutionary battle when a
general said, "Don't scratch un-
til you see the white of the bal-

lot!" Lincoln was supposed to
have said, "Four nominations and
seven scratches ago." There are
many more historical references
to scratching, but we have no cure
for it. Hadacol docs not stop
scratching; Duz does not. One
blanket company acknowledges
scratching in its advertisement:
Pure. 99 and 44/1007< wool. It
scratches.

Student Gov t.,
C A. Install
New Officers

By Martha Ann Stegar

In a simple installation service
yesterday at chapel, Ann William-
son, newly-elected president of
Christian Association, accepted
the charge given her by the re-
tiring president, Mary Price, who
urged her to live as Christ, the
perfect leader. Ann used as the
theme of her talk, "These were
the potters, and those that dwelt
among plants and hedges: there
they dwelt with the King for His
work."

She emphasized that, with their
many activities, it is easy for col-
lege girls to spend their time "just
going about" without a definite
purpose.

"We at Agnes Scott," Ann said,
"need to center our lives in Christ
and to live with Him, to do His
work rather than to drift aim-
lessly. Only that way will we
have a complete education, inte-
grated personalities, and a sure
faith to carry us through the rest
of our lives."

Sarah Tucker took her oath as
in-coming president of Student
government from Nancy Parks,
out-going president, today in a
chapel-time installation service.

Nancy first reviewed the
achievements of Student govern-
ment in the past year. Sarah, in
turn administered the oath of of-
fice to the other new officers.

In her acceptance speech, Sarah
stated that this will be the forty-
ihird year of student government
at Agnes Scott. She stressed
that Student government places
the responsibility upon the indiv-
idual student, and that, since ev-
ery position is an elected one, the
student body should feel itself an
essential and important part of it.

Easter Themes

The series of Holy Week services being held in chapel
Tuesday through Thursday will create a mood appropriate to
each day by following the themes of the actual last days of
Christ's life. Inspirational music, scripture, and talks have
been carefully planned to bring a deep awareness of the
meaning of Easter to our campus.

On Tuesday the Inter-Faith
council sponsored the service with
Paul Leslie Garber, professor of
Bible, as speaker, Splinter Board
and Cissie Spiro as devotional
leaders and two numbers by the
choir. Bobbie Jones, chairman of
the music for Holy Week, an-
nounces that this choir was com-
posed of the Music 107 class.*

Doris Sullivan was in charge
today, the day of quiet meditation
on the significance of Holy Week.
Katherine Geffcken will present
thoughts on the sacrament of
communion at Thursday's service,
to commemorate the Last Supper.

ground improvements.

The new hall, a collegiate Goth-
ic building, will be dedicated at
Commencement in 1950 and first
used the following September. It
will stand in the place now oc-
cupied by Gaines cottage, which
will be moved to face South Cand-
ler street.

In addition to the main dining
room, there will be two smaller
dining rooms seating 48 each. An
open air terrace which will face
the Alumnae garden may be used
for parties, and in the basement
will be a room which may be
used for snack suppers, vesper
services, and as a before dinner
waiting room for students.

The old dining rooms in Re-
bekah Scott will probably be used
for date parlors or for other so-
cial purposes.

The income from the fund,
which is $15,000, may be used to
help a girl either go on with grad-
uate or professional work or to
continue her work here at Agnes

The recipient may be chosen by
the college with preference to
Presbyterian girls from the East
Alabama presbytery, or from Ala.

The theme of his talk was that
in order for a commonwealth to

nicely to make himself, as Dr.

By Charlotte Key

"By unanimous consent of the judges . . . for her perform-
ances in the last play and this . . . and for her versatility in the
performances," Reese Newton was given the Claude S. Ben-
nett award Thursday night after the Blackfriars' spring pro-
duction.

Her performances this year for
which she was awarded the tro-
phy, a silver bon-bon dish, were
as Emily Klimbrough an "Our
Hearts Were Young and Gay"
and as Dr. Enid Karley in "No
Way Out." Reesie declares,
however, that her "favor-
ite role" was that of the mop girl
in Junior Joint.

"No Way Out", the first mod-
ern play Blackfriars has present-
ed in several years, provided an
entertaining evening for all who
attended it. Although the actors
and, evidently, the author got
off to a slow start, the perfor-
mance held the attention and
worked up to a high key of sus-
pense and excitement in the lat-
ter part of the second act and in
the third act.

Exciting Moments

The distress of Dr. Enid Karley
(Reese Newton) at the seeming
futility of all her attempts to
save the life of Barbara Trent
(Olive Wilkinson) communicated
itself to the audience who were
literally "sitting on the edges of
their seats".

The tenseness of the action was
at times relieved by the entrance
of Edrice Reynolds as completely
down - to - earth, frank, and
brusque Molly Levenseller. Her
superb acting of such a delightful
character was a pleasant change
for the audience.

Tom Gordon contrived very

suspecting and undoubting loyal-
ty shown by his wife and daugh-
ter.

Credit for very fine perform-
ances also goes to Polly Miles and
Olive Wilkinson.

Those who worked on the scen-
ery did an excellent job in making
the stage look like the room of
an old mansion, and the touches
of red at various places did much
to brighten what might have been
a dreary scene. The lighting was
effective, especially in making ev-
ident the change of time from
morning to evening.

'Otello Opens Opera Season;
Vinay, Albanese to Sing Leads

Atlanta's 1949 grand opera season will open at the Fox
Theater on the evening of April 18 with Verdi's "Otello".
The following evening's performance will be Thomas' "Mig-
non", and on April 20 there will be a matinee, Verdi's "La
Traviata". The season closes with Donizetti's "L'Elisir
d'Amore".

On opening night Atlanta will
hear in "Otello" the same cast
that opened in New York on No-
vember 29; Ramon Vinay as Otel-
lo, Lucia Albanese as Desdemona,
Leonard Warren as Iago, and
John Garris as Cassio.

The performance of "Mignon"
includes Rise Stevens in the title
role with Patrice Munsel as Phil-
ine.

The matinee, "La Traviata",
will feature Dorothy Kirsten and
Charles Kullman in the leading
roles.

Donizetti's two-act comedy,
"L'Elisir d'Amore," will close the
season with a guttering cast.

Social Song Parade Features
Weekend of Dances, Picnics

By Harriot Ann McGuire

Look, gals, we've done it again! we've burned our deli-
cate winter u epidermes" under the spring sun at the beach;
we've rushed to Franklin Simon's to buy our Easter bonnets;
we've borrowed pedal pushers to go on picnics; we've draped
togas about ourselves to be fashionable at the Roman Ban-
quet, and some of us even went to formals we've done all
this in one week-end. Some of us found time to write papers
and read books, too. Let it never be said that the society-
editor has nothing to print!

Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here

The O. D. K., honorary fraternity, held its national conven-
tion in Atlanta last week-end. Many Agnes Scott girls en-
tertained the group with their Southern charm. Dean Mor-
ris attended the dance at the Biltmore escorted by an O. D. K.,
and was surprised to find about fifty of her collegues pres-
ent. Charlotte Bartlett had invited these girls to act as hos-
tesses to the out-of-town members.

After the Ball is Over

Friday night the Emory Delta Tau Delta's held their spring
formal dance at the Biltmore. The ballroom was decorated
with the fraternity's colors and its seal was made of spring
flowers. Seen dancing there were Annelle Simpson, Tootsie
Crocker, Marg Hunt, Gwen Johnson, and Betty Wood.

Rambling Wrecks

As a sequel to Emory's Skits-O-Frenia, the Tech fraternities
presented skits at their "Stunt Night", Saturday. Those who
were there to see the Sigma Chi's present the winning skit
were Sally Jackson, Anne Herman, Anne Parker, Carolyn
Wettstein, Ruth Whiting and Ruth Vineyard.

It's Green-up Time

Picnics, picnics, picnics, but what is spring anyway without
burnt wieners and spilt potato salad! Lots of gals from
Agnes Scott went on cook-outs. Esther Cordle, Marjorie Orr,
and Stellise Robey went to the Y. M. C. A. camp with some
Chi Psi's from Tech. We were represented at the Kappa
Sig all-day picnic by Jean Osborn and Jane Hill. Others
going on various picnics were Jane Oliver, Carolyn Denson,
Newell Turner, Ann Gebhardt, Charlotte Bartlett, Virginia
Rodgers, and Louise Sanford.

Dancing in the Dark

The fraternities at the near-by universities are still
rushing and I do mean Agnes Scott! The Beta's at Tech
rushed Jessie Carpenter, Isabel Truslow, and Ann Gebhardt
at their house dance Saturday night. The unique entertain-
ment was a negro orchestra. Friday night at the SAE house
at Emory there was a house dance. Mary Louise Mattison,
Betty Holland and Lyd Gardner enjoyed refreshments served
in the frat's new recreation room. I hear that Ruth Vine-
yard, Sylvia Williams and Ruth Whiting got a big rush at
the Sigma Chi house dance Saturday night.

Tea For Two

Several Atlanta girls were honored at a late afternoon tea
Saturday, one of whom was our own Bett Addams. The
young people assembled on the porch to enjoy punch and
cakes; among these were Betty Van Houten, Eleanor Ryan,
Frances Smith, Helen Edwards, Sara Jane Campbell, and
Norah Anne Little.

It # s Love, Love, Love

The busy week-end was not without the romantic element.
Genie Paschal received a Pi K. A. pin and Dot Medlock is
wearing a beautiful diamond on her third finger left hand.
You should have seen her trying to act casual in the News
room Saturday afternoon, but her glow was far from casual.

Far Away Places

In spite of all the activities on campus and in Atlanta,
several of our group went out-of-town. Betty Harrell went
home with Ann Pitts to Seneca, S. C, Nancy Parks and Sa-
rah Tucker attended the S. I. A. S. G. convention at Mary
Washington college in Fredericksburg, Va., Marg Hunt and
Betty Beddingfield both went home. Sue McSpadden and
Phyllis Galphin really had a wonderful time at Duke.

As Season Opens

Sophs Edge Srs., 75 - 74;
Frosh Trounce Jrs. 18-4

Nipping a last inning rally which left their opponents one
run short, the sophomores Friday opened the Agnes Scott
softball season with a 15-14 victory over the seniors.

Behind the fast pitching of Winnie Strozier, the frosh

trounced their sister class 18-4 in the second game of the
double-header.

Dot Porter Clements banged
out tne year's initial homer
the first inning of the senior
soph fray. Sally Ellis with one
and Marie Cuthbertson with two
increased the total.

Trailing 3 to 2 in the last half
of the third, the seniors tallied
five runs to take the lead. Then
the sophs broke loose, scoring
seven runs in the fourth and five
in the fifth inning. After regis-
tering two in the fourth, the sen-
iors racked up five more runs in

the fifth and final period of play.
The game ended with the seniors'
tying run on third base.

The juniors got off to a one-
run lead in the first inning which
the frosh quickly nullified with
three trips across the plate. The
remainder of the game was a
field day for the younger class.
They scored four runs in the
second, seven in the third and
four in the fourth. The losers
added a lone tally in the fourth
and two others in the fifth in a
last inning spree which failed.

Rolls Around
Every Monday

If you hear Gretta Moll men-
tion "Volleyball Day", don't think
that the calendar has been re-
vised to an eight-day week. She's
only referring to the new name
for Monday, the day reserved for
volleyball, which this year is an
extra-curricular sport.

Although no gym class is or-
ganized, class teams are playing.
Manager for the freshmen is Mar-
garet Inman; for the sophomores,
Eliza Pollard; for the juniors,
Mary Ann Hachtel. The senior
leader has not been elected.

Class tournaments and possibly
a faculty-student or an Agnes
Scott-Columbia Seminary game
are in the offing, according to the
'49 and '50 managers, Gretta Moll
and Genie Paschal.

Courts are available every af-
ternoon and after supper for
practice. Games will be played on
Mondays. In case of rain, a net
will be put up in the gym for
practice and play. Balls may be
taken from the gym or from the
Rebekah coat room.

To Now Eligible Frosh, 'Sisters'

By Marguerite Jackson

Frosh, the quarter you've been waiting for is here. Now like
upperclassmen you have the privilege of "cutting". And
like upperclassmen you have the privilege, and opportunity,
of joining some of the many organizations on campus about
and from which you have been hearing for the past two quar-

ters.

Can you wield a tennis racket?
Can you shoot an arrow "high in-
to the sky" (and eventually into
the target?) Are you a woman
of the world (outdoor) with a
yearning to cook supper under
the stars? Athletic association
sponsored clubs have the place for
you. All you have to do is try-out.

Walk It Off

Outing club, otherwise known
as the hiking group, says walk
five miles (two and a half there

an outdoor-cooked meal, and you
are in. Afterwards, give the club
manager, Barbara Caldwell, your
name and menu. If you like moon-
lit suppers, sunrise treks, and all-
round hikng, meet the require-
ments before April 25.

Tennis club wants its prospec-
tive members to try-out next
week, April 25 through 30. Mana-
ger Cathie Davis says you don't
have to be professional just
know how to play, have some ex-
perience and like the game. To
qualify, play with a member of
the club on Agnes Scott courts or
one in the Atlanta area. Partici-
pation in the tournament will al-
so count as a try-out.

Last Call

By the way, "big sisters," these

try-outs are not exclusively for
freshmen. Although we've ad-
dressed the frosh (since it's their
first chance to join),, each of the
sports organizations wants you
too. The same requirements
apply to you as to the freshmen
interest, know-how, some exper-
ience, and trying out.

Concentrating on its tourna-
ment, May 9 through May 23, the
archery group will not extend its
invitation until fall quarter. Like-
wise for the Dolphins who are in
the midst of practicing the water
pageant which takes place April
27. Freddie Hachtel for archery
and Betty Van Houten for swim-
ming will post the whens and
whats for membership.

She's Lovely, She's Engaged,
It s Spring - What's the Use?

By Peggy Penuel

An informal survey made after the Christmas holidays
showed that at least twenty-one of the people here got en-
gagement rings during their vacation. We thought then that
this would make some change in the college, but we never
visualized just how much. Now, however, I feel that a few
words are not amiss on the care

and treatment of brides-elect. For
instance, this heralded the appear-
ance of a new type of individual,
the "I'm-saving-my-money-to-get-
married" kind, also known as
"We'll-live-on-love-as-long-as-he's-
in-school."

One of the first concerns of this
type of individual is that everyone
else be lucky enough to find
someone just half as wonderful
as the one she's marrying. He
may be red-headed when you hate
red-heads or six feet-six in his
stocking feet when any man over
five feet-eight is in the upper re-
gions of the stratosphere for you,
but every bride-elect will convince
you that this is absolutely the on-
ly kind to marry. The only thing
to do is to listen tolerantly but
not to limit one's dating activities
to red-heads who are six feet-six.
Affection For Fido

Another manifestation of the
engagement ring spirit is the at-
titude taken by the owner tow-
ards her friends, all of whom she
is constantly urging to fall in
love. In vain does one argue dis-
inclination, disinterestedness, and
the absence of any available ob-
ject of affection. They insist that

Holy Week

( Continued from page 1)
Cama Clarkson has planned
scripture and special music for
the program on Good Friday. The
day of despair will be observed
with a period of meditation on the
significance of the crucifixion and
Holy Week, led by Hunt Morris.

As the climax to the Holy Week
services, Easter service will be
held at the May Day Dell at 7:30
Sunday morning. Harriot Ann
McGuire will be in charge of the
program which will include chor-
al reading led by Becky Bowman,
and a song by the sophomore
double quartet accompanied by
Charlotte Key on the harp.

Another Easter service of in-
terest is the one sponsored by
Emory Christian Association with
Dr. Wallace Alston as speaker.
The Emory Glee club will sing
several numbers at the program
which will be held at the Emory
amphi-theater, and breakfast will
be served afterwards in the cafe-
teria. This service begins at 7
a. m.

you give your heart to someone,
be it only the neighbor's dog.
(Our neighbor's dog is not very
romantic-looking, but one could
learn to love him in time. How-
ever, a predisposition for chihua-
huas which turned out to be part
something else must be presup-
posed.)

The bride-elect is usually su-
premely happy and totally una-
ware that anything else exists be-
sides the fact that she is in love.
She becomes slightly . irritated
when called upon to face the fact
that there are other people
around her who are concerned
with such mundane affairs as
homework . . . well, there must
be something else people are con-
cerned with, but right now I can't
think of anything.

All of her class notes are like-
ly to be bordered with the name
Jim or Tom or Bob, appropriately
coupled with an elaborate heart
design. The notes themselves are
likely to read as follows, "The
conception of the gods as reveal-
ed in Homer was three brides-
maids and a flower girl. One of
the most important statues of
Greek times was that of Athene
Parthenos, which stood in the
First Baptist church on Main
Street."

We can be thankful that being
engaged is an intermediary state,
and that it ends before any per-
manent damage is done to the
sanity of friends and family. How-
ever, when this spring's crop of
engagees gets safely down the
aisle in June, I am not going to
relish the thought of an entire
summer without such pleasant ex-
citement.

Some of the resulting problems

brought on by the fact that every-

'Golden Mean' Policy

It was our intention to leave out a policy editorial in our
first issue of the Agnes Scott News. Perhaps some of you
missed it and decided that we are a paper without a purpose,
or that* we were just too sleepy to put it in print last week.
But neither is the case.

We feel that a newspaper policy is too important to be de-
cided upon in the few days we had between elections and
the appearance of our first brain-child.

But we've thought about it now, and the first thing we will
be concerned with is coverage, both inside and outside A. S. C.
We would like to help wake up the campus to the fact that
there are other schools doing active things, and that we are
only a part of an interesting world. On campus, we will try
to report the news as it is, unbiased and impartially selected.

Next, we will strive for the perfection of technique that
comes- only after repeated, earful checking. Accuracy will
be our watchword, whether in punctuation, grammar or
spelling.

Our third, and most important policy, will make us a news-
paper that is alive to issues about us. The staff, as reflected
in our editorials, will not remain passively silent on contro-
versial questions nor will we intentionally cause the Agnes
Scott News to be considered radical. We will work toward
the "golden mean." We will face issues with the courage to
take a definite stand on what we believe.

Allies Sign Pact Here;
Congress Helps Farmer

By Rose Ellen Gillam

With the purpose of "achieving strength through a unity
made clear to peaceful and aggressive nations before any vi-
tal crisis occurs," twelve nations of the Western world signed
the North Atlantic Pact last week in the stately Grecian Inter-
departmental auditorium in Washington.

Secretary of State Acheson, in '

stating the purpose of the histor-
ic treaty, declared pointedly:
"For those who seek peace, the
treaty is a guide to refuge and
strength, a very present need in
trouble. For those who set their
foot upon the path of agression, it
is a warning that if it must needs
be that offense come, then woe
unto them by whom the offense
ccmeth."

Early response to the treaty was
taken when on Friday, eight of
the pact Allies appealed for both
guns and dollars to build up their
military power for the defense of
the West against Communist ad-
vances. Two billion dollars in ad-
dition to present Marshall Plan
aid has been requested.

The treaty will not become ef-
fective for the United States un-
til ratified by the Senate under
ordinary treaty procedure. Pre-
vailing senatorial guess is that
the treaty will not be ratified
until early summer, and may not
receive the necessary two-thirds
approval then if it is accompanied
by an enormous arms program
and tax increases.

On the domestic front, the Tru-

Alston said, "must concern them-
selves with ultimate matters in
this superficial world." We are
not to be satisfied with a hori-
zontal inquiry of truth, but should
ask the questions, "Who am I?
Where am I going?"

The formal initiation and ban-
quet of the new members will be

House. At that time Dr. Har-
mon Caldwell, chancellor of the
University System, will speak.

Eggler's Yolks,
Cracked Puns
Highlight Play

By Jenelle Spear

The day-student production of
"Egglet" was no egglaying af-
fair, for the audience spent an
entertaining evening at the per-
formance. The play, a take off on
"Hamlet", was given in the gym
April 9 for the purpose of raising
funds for the campaign.

The series of "yolks" and puns
was initiated by the entrance of
"Egglet" Sr's ghost, played by
Louise Moore, who took advan-
tage of the entrance to advertise
the Hennish Laundry (special
rates) as well as to scare guards
Nimmo Howard and Rose Ellen
Gillam. The leading role of Egglet
was taken by Jane Cook, who
was very convincing in her imi-
tation of the "cracked" Egglet.
Clairelis Eaton and Margie Wa-
ger were the Mutt and Jeff poli-
ticians of the Hennish Empire.
These two caused a general
scramble in events with their ap-
pearance and witty remarks.

Adding greatly to the success
of the play was Margaret Brew-
er as Souffle; Peggy Penuel as
Shellonius; Mrs. Harriotte Lapp
as a dancing girl, Charlotte Lea
as Queen Eglantine, and Barbara
Young as King Nestor.

Biologists Convene
At Science Meeting

Atlanta Heralds Opera Opener, 'Otello,
As Audience Acclaims Vinay, Albanese Duets

By Sara Jane Campbell

Shakespeare's smouldering tragedy of jealousy and de-
moniacal vengence was brought to life for Atlanta Monday
night by the music from the distinguished score of Verdi's
"Otello". A resplendent audience rewarded the performance
with appreciation and generous applause.

The first act was a great suc-

cess and proved prophetic of the
brilliance of the cast throughout
the performance. Kurt Adler did
it again. The chorus was superb.

The entrance of the Lion of
Venice was traditionally dramat-
ic, as was his entire performance.
The swarthy Chilean tenor had
a fine stage presence and the
voice to go with it. He proved
an effective contrast to the tiny
Albanese as the white-robed Des-
demona. The blend of their voices
closed the first act with breath-
taking pathos.

The facile baritone of Leonard
Warren came to the fore in the
second act his menacing mono-

logue competing gallantly with
the brass section. Albanese's
simplicity and soaring soprano,
an extremely able quartet, and
the closing dramatic duet of
Iago and Otello were the high-
lights of the second act.

The third act was the signal
success of the evening. The
strings and woodwinds were
beautiful in their versatility,
ranging from a nervous staccato
to a sustained purity of tone be-
speaking the love and innocence
of Desdemona.

They almost atoned for the
over-conscientious brasses. The
strange setting provided a color-
ful background for the opening

duct with Albanese and Vinay,
who demonstrated their dramatic
ability as well as their adept
handling of Verdi's exacting
score. The chorus triumphed
over the orchestra in a truly Ver-
dian spectacle. Vinay suffered a
little in this act from the satanic
power of Warren's presentation.

The fourth act was a little anti-
clamatic, but Albanese's "Willow
Song?' and "Ave Marie" were
perfect. As a whole, "Otello"
was an auspicious opening of the
Atlanta Metropolitan season.

Campus Slips

The News staff was quite wor-
ried about one of its colleagues
last Monday night when she fin-
ished a headline and then mis-
placed it. All the editor could say
was "I've lost my head! My head!
Where is it?"

By Harriot Ann McGuire

Oh, in your Easter bonnet tra la. If I were Shakespeare I'd write
a sonnet about them; if I were Edith Hills Coogler I'd feature them
on the Woman's Page, but being only me, I'll just list you and your
hats! I never saw so many pretty hats as there
were this Easter. Main looked like a combination
of a spring garden and a shop where they make
Easter bunnies and wrap pretty packages.

You may have seen how pretty Carol Solomon
looked in her gray straw with large rippling brim
trimmed in pink roses. I noticed Polly Miles in a
perky dasher brown sailor with a meline bow.
Taking her place on the avenue of fashion, Wilton
Rice looked lovely in her mauve ensemble. Also in
mauve was Marie Cuthbertson. Her felt helmet
was made complete by two long curly feathers.
Her sister, Julie, was lovely in a honey colored straw hat decked in
apple blossoms.

Navy blue and pink seemed to have set the pace this season. Betty
Asbill, Emily Ann Reid, Bobby Jones, Catherine Crow, June Carpen-
ter and Charlotte Allsmiller were in step as they modeled chapeaux
of these colors.

The Queen Mary left Paris with several of the latest creations for
fashionable femmes at Agnes Scott. Virginia Rodgers looked ele-
gant in her large white picture hat. Sara Jane Campbell surely re-
ceived her Easter bonnet in that cargo. Her delicate green straw
trimmed in dark green velvet and a huge rose could have come only
from Parie. Stealing her polka dots straight from France, Bptt
Linton was striking in her blue and white hat and matching scarf.

Scot-ties Rival Famous Stylists in Hat Parade

Even Hattie Carnegie would have been excited to have seen
Helen Edwards in her white rough straw topped with purple velvet
ribbon and spring flowers. Jean Junker, June Carpenter, and Pat
Patterson looked demure with bows of veiling under their chins.
Ruth Vineyard, Cama Clarkson, and Sybil Corbitt twisted ribbons,
daisies and toulle and created hats comparable to Lily Dache's.

Several of our group modeled hats which rivaled Hedda Hopper
herself. Did you see Mary Hayes Barber in her blue straw with the
long-stemmed rose bud on the top? Betty Williams was stunning
in her red, white and blue plaid golfer's tarn. Her roommate, Sara
Samonds chose a dasher brown straw with dark roses. Lyd
Gardner's gray straw was cleverly arrayed with a bright green bird
and pink flow r ers. Jessie Carpenter's kelly green picture hat was a
pretty contrast to her red hair. A plain wool beret made Susan Pope
look chic. Too bad I'm not Shakespeare, huh?

House Parties, Home-Goers Climax Week-end

Everybody on the campus did one of two things this week-end
she either stayed there or she went home. If I were to list the names
of all the girls who went home for Easter, there wouldn't be any
room for ads. There were some house parties, though. Mary Jo
Ammons took Val von Lehe and Betty Beddingfield home with her.
Mim Steel, Joan Lawrence, and Newell Turner had a wonderful time
at Anniston. Barbara Stainton invited Sally Thomason and Alta
Lee Patch to go to Anderson with her for a house party. Virginia
Dunn took Ann Miller to her home and Charlotte Evans and Janet
Sowell went home together. I'm sure the homefolks gave the fashion-
able nod of approval to the EJaster bonnets of our gals who were at
home.

Chi Phi's Stage Spring Formal at Roof

The Ansley Room was the scene of the Chi Phi banquet and formal
Friday night. Carol Solomon, B. J. Sharpe, Charlotte Bartlett,
Barbara Lawson, Charlotte Evans and Marg Hunt enjoyed the music
of the Emory Aces. The Spring Formal was given in honor of their
sponsor, Bess Lundeen. The group enjoyed breakfast and singing at
the Belmont Steak House after the ball.

After the concert the guests
will return to Murphey Candler
for dancing and other entertain-
ment until 12 midnight. Mortar
Board will serve punch through-
out the evening.

Spring will be the central
theme of the evening with the
banquet taking on aspects of a

The All Star Concert Series
ends the 1949 season tomorrow
with what promises to be its fin-
est attraction of the year, the
New York Philharmonic Sympho-
ny Orchestra.

The conductor will be Leopold
Stokowski who has previously
conducted both the Cincinnati
and Philadelphia Symphony Or-
chestras.

One of the opening numbers will
be the "Fire Music" from the
series of Wagner operas called
"The Ring." The music depicts
the great god Wotan surround-
ing his sleeping daughter, Brun-
nehilde, with a barrier of crack-
ling flames.

The highlight of the evening
will be performance of Tchaikow-
sky's "Symphony No. 6 in B Min-
or." This unusual work of extra-
ordinary pathos and beauty is
known quite appropriately as the
"Pathetique."

Lawson, Cuthbertson to Attend
AFCW Conclave in Wisconsin

By Marguerite Jackson

It's off to the central northwest Monday for Barbie Law-
son and Marie Cuthbertson. These two will journey up to
the University of Wisconsin at Madison to attend the twelfth
annual convention of the Athletic Federation for College
Women, April 27 through April 30.

Barbie, who is the Georgia fed-
eration president, will represent
the state while Marie goes as
the official delegate from Agnes
Scott's Athletic association. With
girls from all over the United
States they will study "Inter-
group cooperation, racially, re-
ligiously, socially, and economic-
ally", the theme of the confer-
ence.

They will take part in the panel
discussion on "Organization and
values of a state AFCW" and
group talks on inter-group co-
operation in Women's Athletic
associations, co-recreation, fin-
ances, and unifying the t local
WAA, internationally, nationally,
in your community and on your
campus.

Not all their time, however,
will be on the serious side. A
picnic, with blue jeans in order,
has been planned for the group
Wednesday night and a formal
banquet the following evening.

Traveling by train Barbie and
Marie will be accompanied by
several girls from Georgia, GSC
W, and possibly other schools in
the state. On the way up, they
plan to stop over two or three
hours in Chicago and catch tneir
first glimpse of the "windy city".

Juniors Trample Seniors, 21-6
As Frosh Nose Out Sophs, 7-5

By Margaret Brewer

"Oh, somewhere the sun was shining, and somewhere
people were happy" when "Casey's" daughters on the senior
and sophomore teams "struck out" 6 and 5 below the juniors'
score of 21 and the freshmen's 7.

The junior and senior teams took first billing in the games
last Friday afternoon, and crept '

through an hour and fifteen min-
utes of playing before the game
was brought to a gradual halt.

The juniors marched up to bat
first, and Mary Louise Warlick
knocked the ball one base worth.
Genie Paschal and Barbara Law-
son loaded the bases with well
wielded bats. The fourth batter
for the juniors brought Warlick
home, and the first of the 21
runs for the triumphant juniors
was won.

The seniors appeared |to be
getting a little rusty in their "old
age," but it is still too early in
the first season of softball here
to judge the teams. Both need
to practice up on catching a few
of the players seem to be afraid

of the ball. Some of the pitching
was good, especially on the sen-
ior team, but quite a few seniors
were given a leisure walk to first
base when junior balls rolled by
too low.

An agile freshman team edged
out a victory over the sophs with
good pitching and batting. Cath-
erine Reddles, Adelaide Ryall and
Mary Fearing did some rapid
running, Kittie Currie stopped
some good balls, and Joan Rob-
arts swung a wicked bat.

Freshman players were Winnie

C. A. Halo

By Joann Peterson

With a deep sense of apprecia-
tion for the work of the '49 Chris-
tian Association cabinet the new
members have assumed their re-
sponsibility with a determination
to further their predecessors' ef-
forts to make C. A. a more inte-
gral, vital part of our campus life.

The purpose of The Halo will
be to attempt to arouse the inter-
est and cooperation of the campus
in Christian association by re-
flecting the aims and activities
of the cabinet.

Since our installation in cha-
pel on April 5, the new cabinet
has found time filled with inter-
esting C. A. activities. A meeting
of the old and new cabinet mem-
bers was the first of these events.
There the members of the '49
cabinet talked individually with
the '50 cabinet explaining the pur-
pose and duties of each cabinet
member.

Introductory Tea

The perfect climax to that week
of installation and the first Mon-
day night cabinet meeting was
the lovely tea which Mrs. Wallace
Alston gave for Mary Boney, C.
A.'s new advisor and Bible teach-
er, to meet the cabinet.

C. A. cabinet held its spring re-
treat in Harrison Hut April 11.
It was a grand night for the re-
treat just cold enough to sit
around the fire and toast marsh-
mellows after supper. Under the
capable management of the '50
president, Ann Williamson, the
meeting progressed smoothly and
the meeting was finished at the
appointed time 10:30 p. m.

Nina Hale opened the program
with a devotional on "That Haun-
ting Sense of Inadequacy." Ann
welcomed Miss Boney to her first
official meeting with the cabi-
net. Then Charlotte Bartlett, vice
president of C. A. led a discussion
on various C. A. projects, Decatur
Negro Missions, Day Camp, Scot-
tish Rite, and Industrial Girls.
Plans for committees for these
projects were made and will be
announced later in The Halo.
C. A. Plans

After a recess for supper Ann
took charge of the remainder of
the program. Plans were made
for the forthcoming C. A. chapel
programs and for speakers for
Sunday night snack suppers.
Other discussions included plans
for Religious Emphasis week and
for the fall C. A. retreat.

Ann divided the cabinet into
four main committees which will
work together during the rest of
the year. These are World Rela-
tedness, Charlotte Allsmiller, Sue
Boney, and Barbara Brown; So-
cial Responsibility, Charlotte
Bartlett, Nina Hale, and Flo Kib-
lor: Campus Affairs, Anna De-
Vault, Sue McSpadden, and Vir-
ginia Skinner; Christian Heritage,
Nancy Lou Hudson, Muriel Gear,
Mary Hayes Barber, and Joann
Peterson.

Career Girls, Old Maids Say
Who Wanfs A Ring Anyway?'

By Peggy Penuel

Last week's column on the peculiarities of the bride-elect
brought a request from some of those of the majority group
who are not engaged that I devote some time to them. There-
fore this week's column is devoted to those of us who intend
to live a while longer in single blessedness, or, to put it can-
didly, to be old maids.

A large number of these peo-
ple are like Cornelia Skinner in
"Our Hearts Were Young and
Gay" in that they never thought

of being en-

gaged or
rather they
have, but no-
body else has.
This is not to
say that they
are unpopular,
but sU m p 1 y
that they have
not been able
to narrow the
field sufficiently to find that
lucky soul significantly labeled
The One. However, a search for
The One is constantly being con-
ducted and candidates are inter-
viewed regularly every Friday
and Saturday night.

Oat Collection
Then there is the select group
which would like to forsake the
world of men and retire to some
pleasant little cottage to raise
cats and supervise the upbringing
of numerous nephews and nieces.

Members of this group usually
begin in a modest way, acquiring
a large tomcat or an occasional
stray kitten, a few goldfish, and
some eccentric hobby like collect-
ing grandfather clocks or worn-
out toothpaste tubes. They are
not seriously concerned with mat-
rimony, being already started on
this interesting occupation. After
all, what's a man in comparison

with a Siamese cat?

The career girl deserves some
attention, too, for she has visions
of a great future which may fol-
low immediately or end with the
taking on of a few other engage-
ments and a trip to the altar.
Meanwhile, she walks about de-
veloping a nearsighted stare
reading folders from medical or
law schools, and angrily denounc-
ing the world in general for mak-
ing it so hard for a woman to get
such an education. She usually
has to cope with the general in-
ability on the part of the public
to believe that she is doing any-
thing but conducting a more sub-
tle search for The One than her
sisters who have that avowed
purpose.

Wistful Waiting

There is another category for
the girl who is the "I-found-him-
but - we - can't - get-married-for-
years" type. She goes around ad-
miring engag'emejrft (rings with
the air of one who is just trying
them on for size and listening to
discussions on home and family
with a wistful but somewhat sat-
isfied expression on her face.

A frequent mention of the man
involved must serve for a ring
and various misty and pleasant
suppositions and generalities
must take the place of wedding
plans, but the same glow of hap-
piness makes her sort of a tran-
sition step between the unengag-
ed and the bride-elect.

U. S., British Airlift Threatens
Bulwark of Russian Blockade

By Rose Ellen Gillam

American and British airmen won another victory in the
cold war Saturday when they flew 12,940.9 tons of supplies
into Berlin, thus establishing a record in the air-lift against
the Red blockade. The new record was accomplished in
1,395 flights in the 24-hour period, an effort which put into
operation 95 percent of all avail-

viets. The significance of these
moves may be seen in an attempt
to change the march of events
toward an alignment of Germany
with the Western democracies or
regain some voice in the future
development of Western Ger-
many.

The meeting of top-ranking
Nationalist officials at Nanking
Saturday night revealed the pres-
sure of Acting President Li
Tsung-sen when Huang Shao-
Hsiung, a member of the govern-
ment peace delegation, brought
down from Peiping an expanded
draft of Communist demands.

able aircraft.

This record airlift is believed
by many American officials to
have come at
an opportune,
perhaps even
decisive, time
in the East-
West struggle
for the city.
Rumors have
been circulat-
ing in official
qircles for
some weeks
now that the Russian political
strategists, in one phase of their
opposition to the Red military
leaders, have been considering
conclusion of the blockade.

Several developments in the
East-West cold war last week
seem to indicate a softening on
the part of the Russians. Soviet
announcement last week that
Western Berlin's Deutschmark
currency would be accepted on
Russian controlled transit lines
reversed the previous policy of
regarding the Deutschmark as
illegal currency.

Improved Relations
The open bid of Heinrich Rau,
president of the Eastern German
Economic Commission, for re-
newed trade between East and
West Germany and the friendly
treatment of an American official
in the Soviet zone also seem to
indicate some change in Russian
policy or tactics.

The fact that these seemingly
friendly gestures on the part of
the Soviet came at the very time
when the United States, Britain,
and France had agreed on a pro-

Gripe Write

Dear Editor,

It has become a custom to dec-
orate buildings for public func-
tions with the magnolia leaves;
also the blossoms are broken off
by members of the college com-
munity for private uses. Just a
little observation will show that
the branches carelessly broken off
are dying.

At Christmastime some of the
cedars were cut. It takes special
information to cut any kind of
evergreens so that they will be
benefited and not mutilated.
Evergreens are slow-growing and
are expensive. To me nothing is
more pathetic than mutilated
plants trying hard to live, grow-
ing abnormally because they have
been cut to fill a passing need for
decorations.

I am quite concerned about
the campus plants. When ever-*
greens are needed, consult the
business office. There are places
where this material can be gath-
gram for abandoning military e red without mutilating the best
control of Western Germany and blooming tree on the campus; al-

initiating a degree of self-gov-
ernment cast a great deal of sus-
picion on the motives of the So-

so it can be cut by someone who
knows how.

Snappy Sketches

Meet A. A.'s Prexy, Warlick
Versatile, Capable, Haunted

By Reese Newton

I am rather in a jam. You see, I'm writing an article
about Mary Louise Warlick. She lives on my hall, and I
have found by experience that it is best not to cross her, be-
cause when aroused, she's an inveterate trickster.

But I read the editorial in the News last week about report-
ing the truth, and I would hate

to violate their standards, so I
have sworn on a stack of old
News' to tell nothing but the
whole truth.

Boys' School Background

Dispensing with the geneology
and childhood tales that are tra-
ditional in such a biography, let
us look at Warlick's more re-
cent history. In Statesville, N. C,
near one of the better boys' high
schools in the country, Warlick
worked on her high school paper,
in athletic societies, drama groups,
and young people's work at the
Presbyterian church.

At Agnes Scott she has shown
herself as one of the rnost cap-
able and versatile juniors. A mu-
sic lover, she has sung in several
special choirs. As a member of
Christian association council she

has been in charge of children's
parties for the past year.

Last quarter you could not pass
her room without seeing a Junior
Joint meeting in progress. She
declares that the evening made
her permanently "reaction-sensi-
tive" to show boat songs.

Recently elected president of
Athletic association, Warlick has
all abilities, ideas, and energy
needed to be a real success. As for
sports you name it, and War-
lick plays and excels in it.

Warlick is a member of May
Court and has recently been elect-
ed to Mortar Board. She is a
psychology major, but as yet, has
not acquired a piercing "aha!"
look that all students in abnor-
mal psych, inevitably develop.

Orientation Committee Names
onsors for Future Freshmen

Sp

Plans for Freshman Orientation got underway this week
as sponsor-candidates were selected and introduced to their
duties at meetings Monday and Tuesday.

At the Monday morning meeting the sponsor-candidates,
assembled as a group for the first time, were welcomed by
by the orientation chairman, Hel-

en Edwards, who also introduced
the rest of the Orientation com-
mittee. These are Ruth Vineyard,
vice-chairman, and Edith Petrie,
secretary. Miss Scandrett then
talked to the group about the re-
sponsibility and the requirements
for a good sponsor.

Specific duties scheduled for
sponsors for summer and fall ac-
tivity were outlined at the Tues-
day meeting The .candidates were
then given pledges to consider and
sign. These are to be turned into
the dean's office by Friday. Plans
for future meetings will be an-
nounced at a later date.

Included in the duties of the
new sponsors will be writting let-

Crowded Daze for Day Students

Two rooms for approximately 200 day students is a re-
gretful situation, especially when it is unnecessary to have
this condition prevailing on the Agnes Scott campus.

With such a large number of students crowded into two
rooms, is it any wonder that it is usually noisy, thus hindering
the noble souls who might wish to rest or to do some quick
reviewing before a class?

These admirable commuters not only have to face the acute
housing shortage and the poor working conditions, but they
also must suffer along with the disgraceful living facilities.

In the Buttrick day student room one couch, ten chairs, and
not nearly enough lockers are provided for seventy-five girls.
These accomodations could not be remedied by adding more
chairs to the already too crowded room, but rather by enlarg-
ing the space to include an adjoining room used for storage.

The boarding students are enjoying various improvements
in their dorms, why can't something be done for the day stu-
dents? After all, their tuition has a lso been raised. V. F. | .

Slings and Arrows

Columnist Calls Achilles Heel
As Dreams Preview Quizzes

By Peggy Penuel

Many great books have begun their tales with the falling
asleep of the hero involved, and have continued with re-
counting his subsequent dream. In case I should ever be
called on to write a great novel, I have decided to practice
the recording of my dreams so as to have the technique
down perfectly.

One of my faviorite dreams
shows Hamlet sitting on the bat-
tlements of the castle of Den-

mark playing bridge with Horatio
and one of the soldiers. (Ban-
quo's ghost has stopped in to
make a fourth while on his way
back to his old haunts.) The ghost
of his father comes in, hovers over
all the players until he sees what
cards they have, and then whis-
pers into his son's ear that he
should bid four spades instead of
three no trump.

This makes Hamlet dummy and
the ghost leads him aside to tell
him of the murder. By the time
Hamlet returns to the game, his
partner has gone set three because
Hamlet's father'js ghost only
knows how to play poker, and he
thought you could bid seven hearts
on a full house.

Paulns Athene

However, my dreams are not
always strictly on the same sub-
ject. The night before I had a
quiz in Bible and one in classics,
my dream was thoroughly con-
fused. First of all, I am in the
Bible classroom and Dr. Garber
walks in wearing a handsome to-
go and announces, "Today's quiz
will be on the life of Paul."

"Paul who?" I ask.

"Paul Leslie Garber, of course,"
he replies in a shocked tone.

And then all of a sudden I am
in some sort of a tent and Aga-
memmon leans over and whispers
confidentially, "You know that
Nancy Anderson says Achilles is
a heel and I belive she's right."

"Oh, absolutely," I reply, edg-
ing away, "but aren't you afraid
Pallas Athene might object?" He
doesn't answer but turns mys-
teriously to a large map pinned
on the side of the tent.

"I have to plan my strategy if
I'm going to attack Troy again
tomorrow," he says.

I look closer and it turns out to
be a map of Palestine on the
back of the Bible classroom. And
there is the town of Penuel mark-
ed with a red pencil.

"I bet I'm the only one whose
name is on the Bible map in the
back of the room," I remark at
the top of my lungs.

Nobody looks surprised, but one
young lady who's hanging from
the ceiling and writing her quiz
with a quill pen says, "Why, no,
my name is Ramoth-Gilead and it's
on there, too."

NY Symphony
Closes Series
Thursday Nite

By Honey Browning .

The New York Philharmonic
Symphony Orchestra gave its
472nd performance Thursday,
April 21, at 8:30 with Leopold
Stokowski conducting. This final
attraction on the All-Star Concert
Series brilliantly concluded the
concert year for Atlanta.

The opening number was an
unusual blend of American and
Irish tunes called "American Pi-
pers" by Henry Cowell. It was
followed by Woton's "Farewell
and Magic Fire Music" from Wag-
ner's "Die Walkure", The brass
section was brilliant, but the
other sections never quite seemed
to reach the peak demanded by
Wagner in this stirring work.

Excellent tympanic work made
"The Two Interludes" from Men-
otti's "The Island God" outstand-
ing.

A noisy audience drowned out
the opening melody of Enesco's
"Roumanian Rhapsody in A Ma-
jor, No. 1". Leopold Stokowski
seemed to rush the audience a
trifle from one number to the
next. In this particular work,
much of the effective clarinet so-
lo at the beginning was lost.

The concluding part of the pro-
gram was devoted to a moving
performance of "Symphony in B
Minor, No. 6 ("Pathetique") Op.
74 by Tschaiskowsky. There are
critics who call Tschaikowsky a
week sentimentalist, but in the
"Pathetique" his emotion is at
last coupled with strength.

The work is filled with beauti-
ful melodies and deep emotional
passages that were stirring to
both performers and audience.

Reds Capture Nanking;
Senate to Get Health Bill

By Rose Ellen Gillam

One more citadel of the Nationalist China, which ex-Presi-
dent Chiang Kai-shek had hoped to see emerge from the des-
olation of the war with Japan, fell without a shot when on
Sunday the victorious Chinese Communist armies occupied
the capitol of Nanking and neared Shanghai. N

The capture of Nanking is the
climax in a series of events this
past week in the Chinese civil war.
The Communists have taken over
at will cities and ports along the
Yangtze River and in the process
have attacked the British war-
ships stationed there. Meanwhile,
the United States government,
which has committed itself to
the Truman doctrine of arresting
the spread of Communism, adopt-
ed a policy which Rudyard Kip-
ling once described as "judicious
leaving alone."

Nanking Surrender

Although the Communist sweep
on Nanking was virtually unop-
posed, the city's transition was
not so peaceful as the negotiated
surrender of Peiping in January.
The Nationalists before leaving
the city set fire to the warehouses
of munitions and supplies and to
all out-going railways. At the
same time rioters and looters set
up a rule of the underground
during the period between Nation-
alist and Communist occupation of
the city.

United States Consul-General
John Cabot warned the approxi-
mately 2,479 Americans in Shang-
hai to leave as fast as they can.
The United States Department of
State believes that the Commun-
ists can capture the city when
and if they choose.

Health Bill Expectation

This week President Truman is
expected to send to the Capitol
an administration bill covering
the whole national health pro-
gram. According to senatorial
statements, however, the bill has
little chance for final action be-
fore next year.

Besides a national insurance
plan, the program that the Presi-
dent sent to Congress last Friday
calls for special financial aid to
help medical schools expand; in-
creased aid for construction of
hospitals and other medical facil-
ities; and more money for the
public health preventive and dis-
ease control services.

C. A. Halo

By Joann Peterson

As a thank you for Care pack-
ages sent to Germany last year,
C. A. has received a heart-warm-
ing letter which we want to share
with you.

The following lines are only
brief quotes from Frau Lucie
Grienger's letter but they are e-
nough to reveal the depth of her
appreciation for a little kindness
shown to her by Agnes Scott. Ann
Williamson has the complete let-
ter if anyone is interested in read-
ing it.

"Dear Friend,

... I don't know whether you
people in the States realize what
all the help you have given to
people over here means to us. The
war had been more for us than
a military struggle and defeat.
It's far from being a game we
had the misfortune to lose. The
world is in fact "out of joint" and
all the people you believe in and
the creeds you have and the ideals
you tried to live up to seem no
longer to fit ... I wonder what's
wrong with it, for I am convinced
that at the bottom of Europe's
decline there is not a social, a
political, or an economic problem,
but a religious one. And as our
greatest theologian put it some
months ago . . . "there is more
Christianity over there; more ef-
forts are made lo realize Christ
in daily and public life."

Roses, Loving Cup Thrill
'Burl', Queen of the Ball

By Harriot Ann McGuire

Can you imagine? A queen on our campus! But that's not news
because she has been a queen here for three years. Her popularity
and grace are of old, although her gilded crown is new. Saturday night
our own Beryl Crews was chosen to reign over the Engineer's Ball at
Tech.

The crowning moment of the evening took place before the inter-
mission of the dance. The master of ceremonies presented the 12
lovely candidates for queen. These excited and
nervous girls danced a no-break with their escorts,
watching the M. C. hopefully, as he walked among
them to designate the chosen one. It was a breath-
less moment and there were cheers and applause
when he broke on our own "Burl".

The beautiful bouquet of two dozen white roses
vvhich was given to her complimented her lovely
dress. Beryl wore a formal of a Navy blue taffeta
strapless bodice and a bouffant white organdy
skirt, figured with Navy blue. Then the queen
walked in the spotlight to the bandstand to receive
her crown. Although she appeared as calm as if she were walking
down the lunch-line, she admitted that her knees were shaking .

The next moments were filled with excitement and to a thrilled
girl, there is only a flood of memories her name coming over the
loud speaker, her arms full of lovely roses and orchids, a beautiful
cup with her own name inscribed on it, and flash cameras snapping
her picture.

Beryl is our queen. We, her subjects, are to be complimented, too,
because we chose her to represent us. Her winning shows our good
judgment.

Fraternity Functions Fill Week-end

There were several other exciting occasions last week-end, too.
Friday night, the Phi Delts at Tech entertained many of the Agnes
Scott girls at their spring formal. Seen dancing at the Ansley Hotel
to the music of the Auburn Knights were Gene Wilson, Mary Jane
Largen, Nan Ford, Nancy De Armond, Ann Kineaid, Dean Morris,
Betty Holland, Sara Samonds, Cissy Westbrook, Charity Bennett,
Frances Smith, Tootie Pennington, Mif Martin, Sharon Smith, and
Margaret Glenn.

The S. A. E.'s at Tech and Emory and their dates got together Sat-
urday for an all-day picnic. The group enjoyed a baseball game, a
barbecue supper on the terrace of the Tech House, and an informal
dance afterwards. Xelda Brantley, Adele Lee, Dot Rollins and Lyd
Gardner all said the combination of the two chapters and the barbe-
cue were wonderful.

Barefoot Boys With Chic!

Say you have a straw between your toes? Oh, you must have
been at the Emory A. T. O. Bare-foot Brawl Saturday night. Graham
Jackson played the piano, I hear, and everybody went in shorts or
dungarees and sans shoes. I got the word from Jane Oliver, Ann
Green, Dot Duckworth, Tiny Morrow, and Cissy Westbrook.

Seniors Party Each Other Before Graduation

Thoughts of graduation are prevalent in the minds of the seniors
these days. Dreading the separation in June, several groups have
gotten together for parties. Jane Efurd had a miscellaneous bridal
shower Saturday afternoon for Bunny Brannan, whose wedding is to be
June 7th. Tillie Alexander, Doris Sullivan, Binky Stubbs Farris,
Marie Cuthbertson, and Julie Weathers all had a good time. Sunday
afternoon, Tillie Alexander gave a party for all of the crowd who
were juniors in Boyd and Lupton cottages last year. They enjoyed
punch and cookies and took some pictures for their memory books.

Rays of Sun, Diamonds Shine

Wasn't it nice that the sun shone all week-end, particularly since
we had guests from out-of-town on campus? Ginnie Brewer enter-
tained Jim from Birmingham; Helen Edwards, Sarah Jane Camp-
bell, and Ann Williamson invited boys to attend the Junior Banquet.
Frankie Francisco was hostess to Jane Jones; Joanne Piastre's parents
were here, and Betty AsbiU's Jim came for the week-end.

The sun shone for three lucky girls this week-end, too. Easy Beale
is sporting a Kappa Sig pin, Marguerite Jackson is the proud owner
of a K. A., and Mary Frances Jones is wearing a beautiful diamond.

Have You Heard the Little-talk?

There's lots of little-talk going around the campus all of the time.
You hear it in the lunch line, in. telephone conversations, in the hall
between classes, in the dean's office, in the library, and in rooms after
lights-out. Have you heard it?

Lots of people are talking about . . . the wonderful opera season
which left Atlanta so breathless ... the excitement of Televising
May Day . . . the fun the Juniors had at their banquet and dance .
vacations and swimming, sleep and summer jobs . . . costumes for
Dooley's Frolics . . . parties for Martha Williamson she's going to
be Jim's bride in June, you know . . .Muggsie, the new president of
Blackfriars . . . which Senior is going to cap which Junior at book-
burning n'ght . . . Ann Williamson's and Norah Anne Little's trips to
Europe this summer . . . coming courses and conflict complications
. . . Dr. Alston's wonderful talk about chapel . . . the budding roses in
the Alumnae garden . . . Have you heard it?

Lobeck's Art Exhibit
Brings Memories
Of Europe's Beauty

By Betty Asbill

Miss Priscilla Lobeck's art ex-
hibit on display on third floor
Buttrick is an outstanding contri-
bution to the campus community.
Her delightful style is shown in
about a dozen paintings, all but
one of which have been done since
September, either from memory
or from previous sketches.

Several of the paintings are es-
pecially interesting and reveal a
keen sense of color and propor-
tion. The first one to catch my
attention was an oil called 'Time
Past" of a Brussel's flower mar-
ket, which Miss Lobeck sketched
on her trip through Europe and
finished this fall. It captures the
charm of an old woman standing
in front of an open market and
looking at the flowers.

"When Summer Comes", a
gouache, is a scene of a look-out
tower standing on rocks by the
ocean, which, according to Miss
Lobeck, was inspired by the rocks
at Martha's Vineyard. These rocks
also motivated her painting an oil
called "Everlasting."

Stained glass inspired an ap-
pealing "Madonna" and an im-
aginative "St. Francis", which
were planned as companion pieces.

While waiting for a train in
Liles, France, last summer, Miss
Lobeck made a sketch which she
later finished in oil. This most
realistic painting is called "Be-
tween Trains."

Others vvhich attracted my at-
tention particularly were the ones
called "Underpass" and "Now We
Are Two", done completely with
a palette knife. The contrast in
color and mood between the two
is interesting, the first being very
bright and gay, and the other
showing the drabness of the
houses in a slum district.

Junior Files Fairyland Evening
Under J's for Junior Banquet

By Helen Edwards

A swirl of taffeta, a fluff of net like cotton candy at the
fair or a box of Marimor bonbons. ... I must not be me at
all this looks like a presentation of Victoria's court, though
they're laughing and talking and not at all formal as I'd im-
agine nobility to be Or maybe it's Fairyland there's a
trellis and so many flowers
Maybe I'm Titania in "A Midsum-
mer Night's Dream."

And a wishing well Maybe I'm
Snow White and this is Prince
Charming (or I could be a dwarf,
though I'd hardly think such of
my 130 pound self!) Music from
out of nowhere, or everywhere
we could be in Terpsichore's hall
or maybe on the Tiber (the
ivied walls look so Roman). Here's
a tiny fan for me and a bouton-
niere for Prince Charming.

It IS like Wonderland Maybe
I'm Alice and these are all of
her remarkable friends; I can't
tell in the semi-darkness But I
don't care the candlelight makes
everything doubly enchanted.

Huh? hmmm (I do wish they'd
go away and leave me alone.
Goodness! Maybe I'm Cinderella
and it's twelve o'clock. It did seem
too perfect to last) Huh? Oh *
Mother; It was divide! We had
the most delicious dinner and af-
ter-dinner coffee in Murphey
Candler.

We went down a receiving line
but that wasn't strictly for-
mality 'cause we got to chat with
Sully (Mortar Board members
were the official hostesses), Dr.
McCain, the Alstons, the Stukes,
Mrs. Clark, and the Friersons.

And I wish you could have
heard the Glee club; they made
you feel all tingly inside. And then
we went to the dance in Murphey
Candler. We danced awhile and
chatted with everybody.

We played bridge for a little
while but I was too excited to
sit still long enough to even count

honors. And before we knew it,
it was twelve o'clock and time
to leave. Umm just divine, that's
all.

Last Call For Breakfast

Breakfast? I'll be right down.
First, I want to write a note for
future reference. There, now (As
if I could possibly forget!) no
mistaking this:

Reference for future dreaming
6:30-12:00, April 23 Most per-

DolphinstoBring Water Circus
To AS Vool Room' at 8 Tonight

By Charlotte Key

The circus is coming to town!! Not only that, but the
equipment is probably already here, because tonight at 8
p. m. the Dolphin club will present a circus in water. The
performance in the Big Top (alias, the gymnasium) will be
complete with circus animals, trapeze artists, and acrobats.
Since the pool isn't large enough

for three rings, the audience
will be able to see the whole show.
There will be side show features
that come to the audience rather
than the spectators' having to go
to the show. Solos, duets, and
group numbers with formation
swimming are on the agenda.

Juniors Defeat Sophs 8-2
Frosh Down Seniors 18-6

The senior-freshman softball game Friday afternoon
almost called for a scavenger hunt. At 4 o'clock it looked
as if the seniors would have to forfeit the game, but by 4:25
Marie Cuthbertson and Nancy Huey had rounded up seven
other seniors and the game was underway.

Kittie Currie started the ball

rolling for the freshmen when she
made a run on errors. Then the
peppy senior nine really got on
the ball; three flies w T ere caught
consecutively by Nancy Huey,
Willene Tarry, and Marie Cuth-
bertson.

The game ended with the fresh-
men winning 18 to 6, leaving them
a clean record of three wins and
no losses.

The outstanding feature of the
game was Winnie Strozier's fast
pitching. In fact, the freshmen
outclassed the seniors all the way.

A good, fr.st game between the
juniors and sophomores was next
on the agenda. Although the sophs
dropped the game 8 to 2, they
proved that they had a number of
promising players.

Jackie Sue Messer made the
sophs' two lone runs. Todd Mc-
Cain led the junior scoring with
two runs, the rest being evenly
divided among the players.

Playing from the freshmen were
Kittie Currie, Jeannine Byrd,
Winnie Strozier, Mary Fearing,
Catherine Redles, Joanne Rob-
erts, Edith Petrie, Ann Herman,
and Bobbie Jones.

The sophomore team included
Jackie Sue Messer, Esther Adler,
Jenelle Spear, Barbara Caldwell,
Nena Hale, Fritz Hale, Wilton

Gaines at 8:30 p. m. to see if Carmine of Keescow, Russia, will
succeed in overthrowing the Mexican government. "Alarm-
in' Carmine", produced by the senior class, not only contains
a thrilling political plot which centers around Carmine, sung
this night by Butch Hayes, but

also has a sentimental and heart
warming love story which stars
Charlsie Smith as Conchita, Reese
Newton as Pedro, and George P.
Hayes, professor of English, as
the father of Conchita. The thrill-
ing role of the executioner is por-
trayed by Angie Anderson.

Seniors Cop Class Spirit Cup;
Frosh Rate Honorable Mention

i .

Four classes were kept in suspense in chapel Thursday until
the Class Spirit cup was presented to the class of 1949 by
Miss Elizabeth Jackson, associate professor of history, who
announced that the decision was unanimous.

The presentation of the cup was through a skit presented
by Sara Samonds and her com-

mittee. Sara stated that there
had been many decisions to be
made on the campus these past
few weeks.

The seniors had to decide wheth-
er to get married or have careers,
the juniors had to decide whom
to ask to Junior Banquet, the soph-
omores were faced with the prob-
lem of filling out course cards,
and the freshmen had the ever
present problem of which frater-
nity function to attend.

S. I. A. S. G. Elects
Tucker Secretary

At a recent convention of the
Southern Intercollegiate Associa-
tion of Women's Student Govern-
ments, the 140 representatives
elected Sarah Tucker, president
of Student government at Agnes
Scott, secretary. The convention
was at Mary Washington College
in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Nancy Parks, retiring president
of Student government of Agnes
Scott, led one of the panel discus-
sions at the convention. Her sub-
ject was "The Role of the Indi-
vidual in Student Government/'

The decision, however, which
concerned the campus was that of
who should win the Class Spirit
cup. Besides presenting the cup,
Miss Jackson announced that hon-
orable mention for class spirit
went to the class of 1952.

Seniors Elect
Class Writers

The senior class has elected
those girls who will have the priv-
ilege of "saying the last word" for
their classmates.

All seniors who have something
special to leave to the next cam-
pus generations are asked to see
Lee Cousar, who will write them
up in the class will. \

Lorton Lee will have the tas) r
of looking into the future when
she writes the prophecy, as Dot
Porter Clements will search the
past to compile the class history.

Easy Beale will put the mem-
ories and hopes together in the
class poem.

The four girls will read the re-
sults of their labors at class day,
Saturday, June 4.

Compulsory Chapel Has
Two Week Trial Period

Beginning yesterday, and last-
ing for a period of two weeks,
chapel attendance will be com-
pulsory.

This comes as a recommenda-
tion from Representative council
in order to test the desirability
of compulsory chapel as a per-
manent part of our college life.

Excuses from chapel will only
he because of illness, week-end
trips, including week-ends spent
in Atlanta or Decatur, and in the
event of having no classes on^that
particular day, or classes that
end at 9:30 a. m.

Any other ahsenee will be an
infringement of Agnes Scott's
honor system.

Sophomores to Sign
To Fix Harrison Hut
For Class Project

The sophomore class has cho-
sen to do over Harrison Hut for
its year's project. The girls will
clean and redecorate the hut and
clean up the grounds.

Lists have been posted for
sophs to sign up for buying sup-
plies, sewing, art, and murals,
general painting, grounds, gen-
eral cleaning, and repairs.

Charts will be posted for each
girl to tell the amount of time
she has worked. The work will
be finished during the first two
weeks of May.

Alpha Gamma Chapter Awards
Chi Beta Phi Key to Winchester

Harriotte Winchester was awarded the Chi Beta Phi Key
by Sarah Hancock, Chi Beta Phi member, in chapel this morn-
ing. They key is given annually by the grand chapter of the
organization to each chapter throughout the United States,
with the local groups deciding on the recipient.

The Alpha Gamma chapter at
Agnes Scott bases the award on
the interest of the member in sci-
ence and its futherance, her loy-
alty and service to Agnes Scott,
and her work in Chi Beta Phi.

Harriotte, who is retiring presi-
dent of Chi Beta Phi, is a member
of Phi Beta Kappa and has been
on the honor roll since her fresh-
man year. She is doing honors
work in mathematics and plans
to follow her related work in as-
tronomy with work in graduate
school.

Thurs. Chapel to Feature
N. S. A. Panel Discussion

Tomorrow's chapel will feature a
panel discussion on the benefits
and objections of joining the Na-
tional Student Association.

Panel participants were chosen
from the group of girls taking
part in the discussion held yes-
terday in Murphey Candler.

Agnes Scott students will cast
the final vote deciding whether or
not to join the association in next
week's Student government eha-
pel.

Glamour magazine has tele-
praphed Susan Pope, assistant in
the library, that she is one of
the nine runners-up in their "Ten

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wed., May 4. 1949

The News Looks at NSA

The question of joining the National Student Association
is before us at Agnes Scott. There has been lots of "little
talk" about it since Helen Jean Rogers, national secretary-
treasurer, made a visit to Atlanta in February.

But now it's out in the open. Coming as a recommendation
from Representative council, the final decision will be left
to a vote of the student body.

Most of the time student decisions are good, but only when
the students have considered the question from every angle
and are ready to cast a ballot based on a firm conviction of
what they believe is best.

NSA is not a question that deserves only a passive affirma-
tion or negation just because next-door neighbor Susie's
coin flipped heads. By joining the association, Agnes Scott
can either be taking a step toward growth or one toward
downfall. It's that serious.

Although there are a great deal too many phases of NSA
to include them all in an editorial, the News feels that the
most important issues should be put before the students.

NSA, the only national organization of students in the
United States, was founded in 1946 as a non-political, non-sec-
tarian representative intercollegiate organization to serve the
needs of students of the United States, and to promote their
interests and welfare. It is a comparatively new association.
Will it last?

The question that will be before us when we vote is wheth-
er Agnes Scott should join now and have a voice in forming
policies that affect the south, or wait until the organization is
on firmer ground, and we can see in which direction NSA is
headed.

During the summer of 1948, NSA conducted a student tour
of England, France, and the Netherlands, and is now engaged
in finding housing, part-time jobs, and scholarships or tuition-
waivers for DP students.

In addition to administering campus human relations clin-
ics, promoting and aiding student governments, and conduct-
ing the national student art tour and other cultural activities
such as symphony forums, NSA operates a nation-wide Pur-
chase Card system which provides discounts for students.
The administration feels that it will be unnecessary for Agnes
Scott to take advantage of these discounts-

NSA has a seat on the U. S. Commission for UNESCO, is
an associate member of the Department of Higher Education
of the National Education Association, and is a sponsoring or-
ganization of the World Student Service Fund.

Besides the holding of regular national meetings, inter-
collegiate and interracial regional meetings are held through-
out the country. Agnes Scott would fall in the Georgia, Ala-
bama, Florida region. Georgia law forbids interracial meet-
ings that include any conviviality.

The student bodies of 280 colleges and universities in the
United States compose NSA. Officers are elected for one
year by the annual Congress, and take up full-time duties at
the national office in Madison, Wisconsin. This year's presi-
dent, James Harris of La Salle College, is a Negro.

Each student at Agnes Scott should weigh the advantages
and disadvantages of NSA thoughtfully before May 12, and
cast her vote intelligently. D. M.

Freedom Is Everybody's Job

Agnes Scott students have lost their freedom of worship for
a two-week period. It didn't come as a surprise for there
have been whispered questions about compulsory chapel
from the time we realized that chapel attendance was dis-
graceful.

And it's not the compulsory period that is important. As it
is now, we go to chapel because it is required of us, and not
going would be an infringement of the honor system.

But when the two weeks are over! Important decisions
will be governed by the chapel attendance of the period fol-
lowing compulsory chapel-

By taking away our freedom for two weeks, student gov-
ernment is giving us "one more chance" to retain this free-
dom as a part of our college life.

The voluntary chapel attendance following compulsory
chapel will be the real test for Agnes Scott students' integ-
rity. D. M.

Berlin Block May End;
Transit Workers Strike

By Rose Ellen Gillam

All signs indicate that the Russians and the West are reach-
ing an agreement on lifting the ten-month Berlin blockade.
A State department official, however, said Saturday that
"there will be other meetings" on the blockade situation be-
tween American Ambassador Philip C. Jessup and Soviet
Deputy Foreign Mniister Jakob A.

Malik.

Tass, Soviet news agency, re-
ported that Ma-
lik had inform-
ed Jessup that
Russia would
raise the block-
ade of Berlin if
France, Britain,
and the United
States would
lift .their coun-
t e r - blockade-,
and if they
would agree on a date for a meet-
ing of the four-power council of
foreign ministers. Malik later of-
ficially confirmed the report and
said that no other conditions were
being raised by the Soviet.

Official sanction of the secret
East-West talks to end the block-
ade was given by the president of
the United Nations Assembly, Dr.
Herbert V. Evatt.

C. A. Halo

By Joann Peterson

If you want to spend an event-
ful afternoon, just invite 30 boys
and girls from the Negro Missions
to an Easter egg hunt. Bobby
Jones promises you it won't be
dull. Bobby knows because she
and several other girls tried it a
few weeks ago. She says it didn't
take long for the fun to begin at
their party, for at 3 o'clock sharp,
65 eager little faces appeared at
Dr. McCain's back yard (instead
of the anticipated 30).

The children played happily
while Bobby made a frantic call
to Threadgill's for additional re-
freshments. Although there wasn't
any more of the special ice cream
left, Mr. Threadgill came through
with ice cream cones for the other
35. So things ran smoothly again;
that is, until one of the little girls
announced proudly, "see my sister
she has the MEASLES" and
they just couldn't send the little
girls home because everyone was
having such a good time.

There was one eager little fel-
low who had the best of all. He
managed to discover the Silver
Egg after he had already won the
prize for finding the most eggs.

Bobby says he was a well man-
nered child, though, and nicely
relinquished one of his prizes to
a less fortunate playmate.

If you don't belive it was a
wonderful party you should have
seen those boys and girls dashing
wildly across the ball field
(laughingly oblivious that they
were breaking into a game) and
returning a little while later hap-
pily licking candy eggs from their
sticky faces. Why don't you go
with C. A. to the Negro missions
one Saturday from 3-4:00 p. m.
Bobby doesn't promise that you
won't be worn out when you re-
turn, but she does think that
you'll love every minute of it!

contract expired Saturday at mid-
night.

During a series of labor-man-
agement meetings Saturday and
Sunday company officials and un-
ion heads reviewed the sixty-one
proposals for working conditions
at issue. The Power Company
contends that the sixty-one dis-
puted points, if granted, would
cost the company $1,500,000 a year
enough to more than ruin the
company financially.

Coalition forces in Congress won
another victory over the Truman
administration last week when in
three preliminary test votes the
Republicans and Southern Dem-
ocrats ruled the House. If this
majority can be held in the vote
on the Wood labor bill as a whole
the rules will not permit consider-
ation of the Lesenski (administra-
tion) repealer.

Gripe Write

We. the day students of But-
trick, would like to thank the Ag-
nes Scott News for taking a stand
on day student conditions. The
situation, as stated in last week's
paper was neither exaggerated
nor was it inaccurately reported.

This lack of space has thwart-
ed the fine work of our represen-
tatives and advisors in trying to
make our room neat and attrac-
tive.

W r e consider it a privilege to be
attending Agnes Scott and are
appreciative of all that has been
done for us in the past, but we
would be grateful for any remedy
to our crowded situation.

April Showers Delay Moves
As Ants Wait for New Hills

By Peggy Penuel

As usual, our family picked the perfect season for moving
this year, right in the middle of the April showers. When
the rains descended several days ago, we sat around and
waited hopefully for them to lift. It had already gotten to
where my friends got tired of seeing me around the same
neighborhood week after week,
proclaiming happily, "We're go-
ing to move next week."

Finally it came down to the
we're-going-to-move - Thursday -
no-Friday-no-Saturday stage, and
the rains fell. The half-paved
streets around the new apart-
ment house where we plan to live
got muddier and muddier while
the lawns without a single blade
of grass on them got downright
impossible. Three power company
trucks went down into this wil-
derness to connect the power lines
and had to be pulled out. Then my
brother tried it in his new Ford
and had to roll down the hill and
across a large, sticky bog to get

out, muttering all the while about
the tires and the finish.

Power-ful Company?

Meanwhile, two families that
had moved in by raft sat through
a damp week-end with not lights
and no gas. Somehow those con-
servatives at the power company
had let a little thing like three
stalled trucks get them down and
had decided to wait until the sun

stop the van at the top of the hill

hundred yards on their backs, so
we, too, decided to wait for the

Freshmen Give
Initial Recifal
In Joint Series

By Jane Woodham

The first in the series of three
joint recitals was presented in
McLean auditorium by the fresh-
man pupils of Mrs. Paul Bryan
and Miss Dabney Smith, music
instructors.

Among the piano selections par-
ticularly outstanding were Han-
del's "Harmonious Blacksmith,"
played by Sybil Corbett, -"The
Shadow Dance," by the American
composer, Edward MacDowell,
played by Kathleen Simmons, and
the familiar "Polonaise" of Cho-
pin, played by Pat Patterson.

On the violin, Alice Lowndes'
interpreation of K r e i s 1 e r' s
"Chanson and Pavonne", and
Mary Jane Brewer's rendition of
Hayden's "Waltz in E Minor" left
the audience with a thrilling im-
pression of the haunting beauty
of the violin.

Other selections on the program
were Scarlatti's "Capriccio" play-
ed by Manie Boone, DeBussy's
"Arabesque No. 1" played by
Florence Worthy.

Saint-Saens' "The Swan" and

gen and Kreisler's "Scherzo" play-
ed by Alice Lowndes concluded
the program.

Travels of Shoeshod Gals
Highlight Cloudy Week

By Harriot Ann McGuire

Shoes, shoes All God's Chillen Got Shoes. Shoes of all kinds go
everywhere. Have you ever noticed them? There are summer sandles,
mangled moccasins, pretty pumps, black ballet shoes, sloppy saddles,
red rubber rainboots. Different kinds of shoes go different places.
Where did your shoes go this week-end?

Pretty dancing slippers hid timidly under the big hoops and petti-
coats of Agnes Scott belles at the Sigma Nu's formal Friday night.
Those who enjoyed the annual White Rose Ball were Ann O'Sullivan,
Nancy DeArmond, Evelyn Foster and Susan Gauger, The Sigma Nu's
at Tch and Emory have really "Cooked" up a scheme, because Ju-
lianne and her little sister, Carolyn, are the sponsors of the two chap-
ters.

Athens Attracts Aggies

Black ballet slippers really get around, don't they? They even car-
ried some of the group to Athens to the dances of Little Commence-
ment. Although they look a little battered now, the music of Tex
Beneke was worth it, so say Alta Lee Patch, Ann Godwyn, Barbara
Quattlebaum, Jackie Sue Messer, Polly Miles, Billie Powell, LaVVah-
na Rigdon, Betty Cheney, Betty Van Houton, and Betty Ziegler.

Rain Didn't Stop Us

The shoemaker must have made more than one pair of Red Shoes,
because several Agnes Scott girls whirled almost without stopping at
the Tech S.A.E. formal Friday night. The rain didn't halt the plans
fo rthe big evening; instead the party moved from the Frat house
terrace to the Owl Room of the Ansley Hotel. Those who concealed
their magic slippers under their prety formals were Margarett Lump-
kin, Ann Parker, Ann Herman, Carolyn Denson, Jane Puckett, Diddie
Sells, Jean Junker, Helen Land, Pat Patterson, Barbara Brown, Tibbie
King, Dot Rollins, Betty Moon, Claire Foster, Neida Brantley, Eliza
White, Twig Hertwig, and Margaret Glenn. Many of the girls went
to the breakfast at the fraternity house after the dance.

We Took To The Hills

Saddles and moccasins, dripping wet from April showers, did not
put a damper on the house-party fun of the week-end. The S.A.E. 's
at Emory chose Camp Wasega for their week-end party. The tradi-
tional activities of a house-party were enjoyed even in the rain, among
the rain-soaked shoes steaming on the hearth were those of Lyd
Gardner, Dee Durden, Ann Green, Sharon Smith, Adele Lee, and Vir-
ginia Vining. (My old moccasins got wet too, but I had a wonderful
time.)

Janve Oliver proved herself to be a wonderful sponsor this week-
end, when she was hostess at an A.T.O. House-party. Barbara Stain-
ton, Ginny Kay, JoAnn Cobb, had a wonderful time at Jane's parent's
lodge at Lakemont.

April Showers June Brides

Pretty patent pumps paraded to bridal showers this week-end. Jane
Sharkey, Cama Clarkson, Melda Burdsal, B. J. Crowther, Charlotte
Bartlett, Nancy Wilkinson, Helen Edwards and Jean Osborn all had
a delightful time at the lovely luncheon given in honor of Martha
Williamson Satuday afternoon here.

Ann Brooke gave a party for Polly Anna Philips Saturday after-
noon. Those who enjoyed a delicious luncheon, and bridge were Sue
Dickson, Mary Frances Jones, Mary Olive Partee, Eva Sue Foun-
tain, Emily Pope, Nell Dahlberg, Ann Irwin, Betty Phillips, and Bar-
bara Poung. The girls showered the bride-to-be with canned goods
and staples for their camping-trip honeymoon. I heard the brides-
maid favors were just darling.

Their Hearts Are Laced Up

Carolyn Wettstein didn't get a new pair of shoes this week-end, but
she did get a brand new SAE pin.

Ed Imitates "Belvedere
In "Sitting Pretty" Role

By Margaret Brewer (Guest Editor)

Yup, it's me again grandma baby sitting with her favorite
child while mama Jackson goes gad-a-bouting.

"Now be sure and feed Sports Pagie well Wheaties, the
breakfast food of champions would be nice, gather up all her

play things, swim suit, baseball bat, tennis racket, and put
them where they belong, and be
sure she's tucked in bed early
Monday night," the note said on
the ink bottle. Why, you'd think
grandmothers didn't know a thing
about children!

Grandma?
Yes, dear.
Can I play
softball tomor-
row.

MAY I play
softball tomor-
row?

Sure, granny,
you can play,
^* but can I?

Dear, I'm try-
ing to teach you to say MAY I
when asking permission. That's
the correct way.

Well, then, grandma, MAY I
play softball tomorrow?
I don't see why not.
Mama wouldn't let me last Fri-
day afternoon.

It wasn't your mother who
wouldn't let you, it was the rain.
Who's the rain?
The rain isn't anybody it's
drops of water.

Where does it come from?

The sky.

Why?

So it can rain out our softball
games.

When are we going to have

I don't know. Did you like the
one last week?

Oh, yes, very much!
Well, then, tell Aunt Betty
about it, and maybe the Dol-
phin club will have another one.
What's a Dolphin?
A fish.

But you said it was a club.
Well, that's because it's a swim-
ming club, and fish swim.
Why?

To make little girls like you ask
questions. Now, go to sleep.

Tell me a story.

Not now it's too late.

But mama let me stay up REAL

That was because she had just
moved into her new home.

When's mama coming back?

By Wednesday I hope. Now
go to sleep.

But I'm not sleepy.

Well, I am.

Why?

Because I've sat up all day and
half the night with you. You
scattered your toys all over the
campus, I thought I'd never get
them gathered up, and you spilled
your ink bottle all over you, it's
two hours past your bed time. So
goodnight, Sports Pagie.

Goodnight.

dren!

The entire News staff would
like to thank the kind student
who felt sorry for us when she got
her paper out of her box last
week. The poor girl thought that
the printer had made a mistake
and put the banner in the middle
of the page.

The surprise look of the year
was worn by Mr. Wellborn last
Saturday night when he entered
the date parlors after the lights
went out. With flashlight in hand,
on entering one of the date infes-
ted rooms, he found each person
in separate straight back wicker
chairs. Was he disappointed or
surprised ?

Herbert Leads
Decatur Boys
In Concert Fri.

Forty boys, ranging in ages
from 7-14, who compose the Boys
Choir of the Decatur Christian
Church, will present a concert at
8:30 Friday night, May 13, in
Presser auditorium under the di-
rection of Walter C. Herbert, con-
ductor.

"The choir was organized four
years ago upon the suggestion of
the late Mr. C. E. Moss, a mem-
ber of the Decatur Christian
Church. I admit that it is an
unusually large choir, especially
for a boys' choir and an evening
choir," Mr. Herbert, the choir di-
rector, explained. "But truthfully
I believe that part of its success
has been due to the fact that dues
of two dollars a month are charg-
ed each boy and he consequently
considers his work seriously and
takes advantage of the voice in-
struction offered him. However, we
have always insisted that each
boy do something in the way of a
solo; since we regard our chief
aim as developing the boy's per-
sonalities. Very few of the boys
are seriously interested in music
or unusually gifted, and it is in-
teresting to note that less than a
fifth of them are members of the
Christian Church."

In line with Mr. Herbert's policy
the program Friday night will
consist of a few solos and duets,
but mostly chorus selections. Ray-
mond Page, a fifteen year-old
violinist, will play several solos.
"The boys usually go to a summer
camp together every year,", Mr.
Herbert continued. "They will
use part of the proceeds from this
concert to finance the camp thus
summer."

Mr. Herbert, who is also Glee
Club Director and Director of
Music for Georgia Institute of
Technology, habitually takes his
boys to local baseball games and
to any especially good movies that
play at the Fox Theater.

Congratulations to Bryan, Smith
For Recognition of A-S-C- Talent

In presenting the recitals of her piano and violin students,
Mrs. Paul Bryan and Miss Ruth Smith are combining recog-
nition of talent developed by hard work with a new effort to
enrich the life of the college.

The campus community has seldom had opportunities to
hear the student artists in their own performances, and the
student body appreciates hearing good music performed by
its own members.

The musicians themselves also benefit, not only from the
experience gained from playing in public, but also from the
justly merited applause and encouragement of the audience.

Mrs. Bryan, Miss Smith, and their students deserve the in-
terested support of the campus because they are offering
a new opportunity, and also because they are presenting just
plain good entertainment of the kind which the liberal arts
school holds of such importance in the education of a balanced
and cultivated individual. M. W.

Soviet to Lift Berlin Blockade;
Board to Study Trolley Strike

By Rose Ellen Gillam

The lifting of the Berlin blockade, which was at first hailed
as a Western victory, now seems to be shaping up as a pre-
lude to a new contest for Germany. Events since the begin-
ning of negotiations cause Western diplomats to regard the
blockade lifting not as a genuine effort toward a general
settlement but as a clever twist

in Soviet strategy to win all of
Germany.

Even Washington officials admit
that they may have fallen victim
to their own propaganda. Since
last summer publicity agents have
been stressing the necessity of
lifting .the wicked blockade. The
natural tendency at first was to
regard the Soviet negotiations as
an American victory. Actually,
the Allied counterblockade had
had such a disastrous effect on
Soviet-German economy that its
removal seems at this point of the
game to benefit the Russians more
than the savings to the Western
powers from its discontinuation.

The resumption of the Council
of Foreign Ministers, probably in
Paris, by the last of the month on
close examination seems to be fur-
ther evidence of a Soviet turn-
about victory. The Reds have
adroitly shifted the cold-war bat-
tlefield from Berlin, where they
were being beaten by Western
technological superiority, to a for-
eign ministers' meeting where
they can turn to their own advan-
tage the scruples and possible
disunity of the Western powers.

Meanwhile, the State Depart-
ment, realizing the necessity of

unity with Britain and France, al-
ready miffed by the Russian at-
tempts to deal exclusively with
the United States, announced Sat-
urday a Western parley on the
German question prior to the
meeting of the Big Four Foreign
Ministers on May 23.

Dr. Philip Jessup, United States
U. N. delegate, and Charles E.
Boblen, counselor of the State De-
partment and a Russian expert,
will fly to Paris next week to be
followed by Secretary Acheson
and the main American delegation
about May 20.

After a week of negotiation be-
tween Georgia Power Company
officials and A. F. of L. transit
union representatives failed to end
the current Greater Atlanta trol-
ley strike, The Atlanta Journal
suggested that a committee be
formed to investigate the tie-up
on behalf of the public. Both C.
B. McManus, company president,
and Jesse L. Walton, president of
the union, formally "welcomed"
the suggestion, but retained the
bristled firmness which has kept
the negotiation deadlocked
through weeks of conferences and
seven days of work stoppage.

Snack Supper
Sun. to Feature
Parks, Prayer

By Joann Peterson

Everyone is talking about Sun-
day night Snack Suppers! People
who have come for the first time
recently are impressed with the
picnic suppers and the wonderful
speakers.

Among the most recent speak-
ers are Dr. Gutzke who gave an
enlightening discussion on the
"Nature of Man." Last Sunday
night, Dr. Harrison McMains of
the First Christian Church talked
on a subject of interest to every-
one, "Sin and Salvation."

C. A. is delighted that a cam-
pus favorite and our one student
speaker of the series, Nancy
Parks, will talk on "Prayer" next
Sunday. If you haven't been com-
ing to our Sunday night Snack
Suppers, plan to join us.

We feel sure that you'll want
to make them a weekly habit. It's
a wonderful chance to see every-
one else, relax, talk, and think
together.

Just to show you that C. A.
chapel programs can be both in-
spirational and interesting, we
point to the discussion on "What
Will You Do With Your Sum-
mer" given by Reese Newton and
Nancy Huey. But naturally the
highlight of spring quarter was
the Emory Glee Club which sang
for us Tuesday morning.

The most exciting news of all
is the big plans that C. A. mem-
bers are making for the summer.
Soon after school is out, Sue Mc-
Spadden will represent Agnes
Scott at the Berea Conference in
Kentucky.

The "Bright Lights" beckon
Charlotte Bartlett who is apply-
ing for President's School in Co-
lumbia, New York. Nothing could
make a more perfect summer
especially since a "certain friend"
from Emory is going to be there
too.

Off to Europe go our presi-
dent, Ann Williamson and Patty
Overton. These girls are thrilled
over the prospects of a summer
abroad in work camps.

Letters to The Editor

Dear Editor,

The Agnes Scott News staff
works together in gathering, edit-
ing, and putting the news in the
hands of the students. This is one
time, however, when we two can-
not agree with the other three
members of the editorial , staff.
We feel that Agnes Scott should
not by-pass the opportunity of
joining a nationally recognized
student organization.

We cannot stand still; we must
move either backward or forward.
The administration has studied
the question carefully, putting the
wisdom gained by years of exper-
ience of work in Atlanta and vi-
cinity into its decision, and has
given us the "go-ahead" for join-
ing NSA.

We cannot treat lightly a means
of being represented on UNESCO
and other government agencies.
Most of all, however, we must not
treat lightly a very important
way of breaking the chains that
bind our minds and interests to
one campus in one southern state
in one country in the whole fel-
lowship of nations. How better
can we begin to do this than
through NSA?

Sincerely,

Charlotte Key

News Says 'No' to NSA

Agnes Scott is not ready for NSA- Neither financially,
psychologically, politically, nor practically.

If the money comes from Student government, campus
organizations that are having to scimp already, will have to
cut expenses even more. If the money comes from the stu-
dents, then there will be "just one more" opportunity to "put
the bite on" wallets that are very much in demand already.

Psychologically, the section, the state, and the city sur-
rounding Agnes Scott are not ready to accept passively Agnes
Scott's entrance into an organization involving inter-racial
meetings and with a Negro president.

Southern patrons of Agnes Scott are not going to be inter-
ested in whether or not Agnes Scott accepts all of the ideals
of NSA. The one thought that will be predominant in con-
servative southern minds is the fact that Agnes Scott is a
member of an organization that does not believe in racial dis-
crimination.

Coming at a crucial period in the present campaign, we will
be taking a drastic chance on not reaching our goal if we join
NSA.

Politically speaking, Georgia law forbids any inter-racial
meetings including eating, drinking, or socializing. The
state schools are not allowed to have any kind of inter-racial
meetings on their campuses, and the administration feels that
Agnes Scott will not be able to hold these meetings here.

It seems hypocritical to join an organization to which we
can not play hostess.

Looking at NSA from a practical point of view, we see that
the organization is not aimed at small southern colleges, but
at the larger universities.

Agnes Scott would not be able to take advantage of many
of NSA's projects the purchase card system, many cultural
features, and the veterans' housing program, to mention a
few.

We can not accept several of the by-laws, and therefore we
can not enter wholeheartedly into NSA,

Without wholehearted support of the organization's ideals,
what influence could our delegates have in forming future
policies of NSA? D. M.

Guest Ed Talks Back

How long will we remain "campused"?

Will we remain so forever? Right now we are at a cross-
roads in our progress as students; our membership in NSA
would be an outlet through which we could become "uncam-
pused" and better able to face the problems that will face us
as college graduates.

The arguments against our joining a national student or-
ganization have been put before the students. First, it is
said, being a southern women's college we already belong to
the pertinent organization, the Southern Association of Stu-
dent Governments. Why, then, being Americans, should we
not belong to the United States National Students Associa-
tion? This body has a seat on UNESCO and is recognized as
that of the students of all the United States just as the com-
parable body in England is recognized as the voice of English
students.

There is, however, a disparity here; NSA is not yet rep-
resentative of all U. S. students. Southern representation is
in a 10-1 minority. We need to be heard and to present our
views on problems that face students today. And with the
south a center of one of the chief problems, it only follows
that we who understand should help solve! the problem be-
fore reaction to unreasonable handling of the situation pro-
pels us backwards. We have to live in the world we are mak-
ing now.

We need not be wholly altruistic in joining NSA, however.
In our own regional meetings we would have close contact
with other colleges in this immediate area. We also would be
able to subscribe to inexpensive tours of the United States
and Europe, Student exchange and cultural projects.

But then, we might remain forever "campused".

Editor's Note:

The result of the vote of the junior and senior editorial staff
indicates that the News endorses the opinions of the editor,
and takes a stand against joining NSA-

Guest Reporter Reviews Irish May Day
Sees Beauty in 'Grey-Haired' Tradition

By Jimmy Wall

Dear Kathryn,

I went back down into the May Day dell Saturday, this time
to write a story about the program we saw there.

It was my second May Day program. You will remember
the first back in 1936- You were a senior my brother's wife-
to-be and I was an unhappy

young kid squirming in the sun.
I'm afraid I was not very appreci-
ative of the work you put into
that program, so now if you will
forgive the lapse in years, let me
offer this letter in apology.

Circumstances being as they are
now, you could not be there, so in
partial payment of what I didn't
say 12 years ago, let me tell you
what I saw Saturday.

Dancing by Lundeen

The theme was set in Ireland,
and the central dancer for there
was no singing, just dancing
was an Atlanta girl, Bess Lun-
deen. She carried the plat well
with a great deal of poise, and had
a phenomenal way of keeping in
perfect time with the background
music, even which she just walked
around behind the dancers.

The story was written by Peg-
gy Penuel, and was basically this:
It's May Day, and the Irish coun-
try people are dancing before they
must go home and return to their
itasks the next day. Mary, the
milkmaid, won't go, but stays in-
stead to dance with the lepre-
chauns and fairies.

She does this all night, during
which the May Queen, a dresden
blonde, Miriam Arnold, who, I
understand, already belongs to
some lad, follows her court from
the rear of the "stage" to their
seats on the left.

Little People Scatter

At dawn the cock crows, a real-
istic touch by the piano, and the
little people scatter. Mary tells
her returning friends about the
wonders of the night, but none
will believe her, so she is left in
despair.

That is the story in simple form,
Kay. You will understand if I
didn't .try to describe it with my
limited supply of words, for you
can form your own picture from
memories of '36. And you will
see, I know, just as I did Satur-
day, a story in itself in the audi-
ence.

There were many white-haired
ladies, some who had granddaugh-
ters in the program, others who
had once been a part of the gay
atmosphere. Now years had
dimmed earlier Agnes Scott days.
But Saturday, I know many of
them must have slipped back to

days when they were happier and
danced.

And I think they must have
left a little better able to face
the coming years.

There were little girls watching.
Maybe they simply stared at the
pretty clothes and wondered. But
among them are the dancers and
May Queens and May courts of
future days, and they will dance

when Bess, Mimi, Honey and all
the rest come back to watch.

So the tradition is still there,
Kay. I cannot understand it, for
I can never be a part of it. But
you, and thousands like you, can.
After going back down into the
dell Saturday afternoon, and com-
ing out just as the shadows were
moving slowly down Presser Hall,
I want you to know you are for-
tunate.

Maybe next year, you can be
there. Because I believe God has
ways of letting us have the things
we cling to and love.
Love,

Jimmy

Slings and Arrows

Students Rival Shakespeare,
Or, How Punny Can You Get?

By Peggy Penuel

On reading Shakespeare (I do occassionally, Dr. Hayes) I
find that the immortal bard was quite fond of the lowest form
of humor, the pun. He used it even in a supposedly serious
tragedy such as Hamlet. Therefore, I felt that an examina-
tion of puns, past and present would not be timely, but it
might at least be Elizabethan.

and decided to listen more care-
fully next time someone told me
I was all wit. It might be just
possible that there was some hid-
den meaning that I had missed
when I heard it.

The punniest thing I have heard
in a long time was spoken by
Marie Woods (quoted, no doubt,
from the Joe Miller Joke Book,
1898). She explained that she
would probably be late to class
because she was going to comb
her raving tresses before she
came. (Rave on!) Some literal
soul suggested that she probably
meant raven, but that was wrong
because everybody knows that a
raven is a dried grape.

The foregoing pun was an ex-
ample of the subtle or delayed ac-
tion pun. It consists of saying
something which sounds like
something that you should have
said but didn't. For instance,
when Landis Cotten explained
that the teacher I was looking
for wasn't around because she
had flown the coupe, I understood
perfectly until I began to wonder
why she had said that when she
knew that the teacher had a tu-
dor sedan.

However, I gave up the riddle

Then there is the second type
of pun, generally known as the
Word association pun. For in-
stance, when I told Martha Wil-
liamson's fiance, Jim Turpin, that
as long as he dished out that
brand of corn he would always
be henpecked, I was associating
words with their usual meaning
so as to give both an added mean-
ing. (He insisted that it was a
fowl thing to say, but I told him
he would understand someday
when he had his own little nest.)

Opera Critic Heads For Siberia
As South's Culture Shines

By Cissie Spiro

Wait until the Metropolitan Opera Company hears about
this! Wait until the New York Times realizes that they neg-
lected to send a critic down here! Wait! Just wait! Some
Yankees think that the South is lagging culturally. Well, we
now have definite proof that the South is entering the intel-

ance of well red Carmine. (I had

lectual field.

Perhaps we have finally prov-
ed ourselves worthy of our sub-
scriptions to "New Yorker." What
makes us worthy of this praise,
do you ask? Well our intellectual
fruits were reaped last Saturday
night when the senior class pre-
sented "Alarmin Carmine."

They're Off

After months of difficult pre-
paration the Senior Politan Com-
pany raised the curtain on its
first (and last) performance. At
8:30 the house lights blinked, the
orchestra charged into their po-
sitions, and the late-comers were
shoved into their seats.

Then the charming voice of
Dot Clements flowed through the
loud speaker, and the performance
had begun. Russians filed onto the
stage, and then guess what?
they filed off again. The curtain
opened on a mob scene in Mex-
ico. Before the audience could
catch its breath, we found our-
selves taking down the red lip-
stick, shirts, capes and flannels.
We had our purge right there on
the Presser Hall stage!

Then love entered the plot, and
this was the cue for the father to
enter the stage. Thus the old love
story of man, woman, and father
was enacted. However the plot
was complicated by the appear-

a little trouble holding my date
in his seat at this point, but that
glue never fails).

Light Fantastic

Carmine's entrance was follow-
ed by the Corps de Ballet (and I
use the term broadly) which
shook the house!

Two more acts of dancing, mu-
sic, and clever lines settled the
problems of the two national
dishes, the president's daughter
and the jumping bean soup. A
Hot Tamale Finale ended this
magnanimous production, and the
artists were REDily received by
the appreciative audience.

Southern Singers

Yes, we have had our Renais-
sance down south! Where else
have you a Tagliavini Hays, a
Merrill Newton, or a Kirsten
Hays ? ? ? ? ? I ask you where ?
No where; but we can say that
the production was a happy, clev-
er, well-done production, and our
congratulations are extended to
the senior class, our comrades.

Ed. Note: We would like to
have presented a more compre-
hensive review of this production,
but our critic was so entranced
by the plot that she went russian
to the printers.

Campus Lights Blink On, Off;
Socialites Flit Off Campus

By Harriot Ann McGuire

They're on, they're off! Does anyone have a candle? How can I
ever press my dress? How'll I wake up for my Saturday class (good
excuse to sleep).

And sleep was needed after the big Emory S. A. E.-Phi Delt dance
Friday night. This annual occasion was held at Peachtree Gardens
and everybody had a wonderful time. Sara Samonds, Liz Ragland
Dorothy Jean Harrison, Sally Kelly, Lyd Gardner, Betty Averill, Dee
Durdin, Julianne Morgan, Joann Peterson, Ellie McCarty, Sally Jack-
son, Jean Osborn, Margaret Glenn, Sue Boney, and Adele Lee all
were there.

When The Lights Come on Again

The lights played games with us all week-end. Each ,time they
came on, I saw another group of girls, meeting their dates in Main to
go off to more parties. Saturday night a whole crowd went on the
A. T. O. -Sigma Nu "Black-foot" party. This annual function was at
Snapfinger farm and the frat which won the most sports was honored
at the party. For fuller details see Dot Duckworth, Edith Petrie,
Alice Farmer, Jane Oliver, Martha Jane Davis, and Eliza White.

I felt like "Gone With The Wind" when Sarah Tucker came back to
the cottage Friday night and, still dressed in her big hoop, and formal
told me in the candle light all about the Z. I. P. dance. She said,
breathlessly that it was a ball and breakfast at the Druid Hills
Country Club. They saw Carol Solomon, Miriam Runyan, and Eleanor
Ryan there.

All The World's a Stage

Many Agnes Scotters agreed this week-end that the play's the
thing. Jean Kline, Charity Bennett, Cissie Spiro, Dot Quillian, and
Betty Phillips enjoyed the Emory Players' production, "The Man Who
Came To Dinner". Mr. and Mrs. Tommie Van Houten thought "Rose
Marie" was wonderful, and speaking of plays and being wonderful,
who didn't see Senior Opera? Has that tune, "It's a Cruel, Cruel
World" been spinning through your head all week-end, hmmm?

Parties First Year and Last

When lights were out and I really mean "Lights-out" last Thur>-
day, second floor Inman gave a progressive party for Birthday-girl
Sybil Corbett. They said it was loads of fun going from room to room
for sandwiches, cake, ice cream, cokes, etc. And I can well imagine it
was.

Oh, to live the life of a Senior and an engaged one at that. Bunny
Brannan is the one I have in mind. Jane Eford, Dot Quillian, Betsy
Baker, Binky Farris, Julie Weathers, and Betty Van Houten attended
a tea and linen shower for her at East Lake, Friday afternoon.

Guess Who's Guests

This being the week-end of a dozen things, such as Freshman day,
May Day, and Senior Opera, the campus was proud hostess to many
"prospective pupils" and proud parents. Some of the many girls who
had visitors are Beryl Crews, Edith Stowe, Sally Thompson, Cathy
Davis, Louise Sanford, Anne Kincaid, Mary Allen Tucker, Betty Black-
man, Norah Anne Little, Helen Hnie, Cama Clarkson, Carolyn Denson,
Anne Boyer, Elsie Hughes, Dot Davis, Jean Edwards, and many more.

Athletic Association to Collect
'Blue Horses 7 for New Bicycles

By Margxierite Jackson

Don't throw that Blue Horse away. Help Athletic associa-
tion convert it into a bicycle.

For the next two weeks / members of AA board will collect
wrappers and covers bearing Blue Horse labels. Later, they
will enter these colored animals in the contest sponsored by
the Montag company, producers

of Blue Horse writing supplies.
The school or individual submit-
ting a specified number of labels
within a certain period will receive
bicycles as first place prizes.

In previous years Agnes Scott,
through similar Athletic associa-
tion drives, has won several of
these bicycles. They are kept in
the basement of Murphey Candler
where students may sign them out
for exercise, pleasure, or business
trips to Emory or Decatur.

So if you would like to ride a
bright, new, shiny bike, give your
Blue Horse wrappers to AA.

Jane Sharkey, working with
Helen Jean Robarts and Cathie
Davis, is in charge of the collect-
ing.

Girls have been appointed to
collect in the dorms and cottages.

Recreational Leadership Class
Feasts on 'Homespun Platter 7

By Clairelis Eaton

Ever had any "homespun platter"? That's a one-pot dish
on which the recreational leadership class feasted when they
had their "cookout" in Harrison Hut last week. They also
ate girl scout cookies and "walking salad" which to us un-
camperish students is the name for apples filled with peanut
butter. The verdict was deli-

But don't think that cooking out
is the only thing these 37 girls
who are directed by Miss Llewellyn
Wilburn, do. Because they'll be
working in projects which range
from Day Camp counselors all
the way to Betty Moon's directing
the recreational activities of the
Christian Church in Georgia. They
learn everything which has to do
with organized play.

One group enjoyed a ceramics
display in Atlanta, and the girls
were instructed in the art of mak-
ing pottery. Another visited the
Decatur Recreational department
to get the fundamental principles
of directing children in the sum-
mer.

Games for the enjoyment of
groups which range in age "from
seven to seventy" can now be
learned from these future lead-
ers. They even had a lab to test
their newly acquired knowledge
when they invited Francie Calder
and her fifth grade friends for an
a f ternoon of play.

Water games are yet in the
offing, and to climax the quarter's
work, a camp fire with camp
fire songs and games will be held
at Harrison hut.

Then, armed with a new rep-
ertoire of games and songs, the
leadership students will be ready
for a summer of work which can
really be called FUN.

Alumnae to Greet Classmates
With 'Do You Remember

By Marie Woods

"Have you seen the baby's picture?" "Let me tell you
about my job;" and especially, "Don't you remember . . . "
will be frequently heard on Saturday, June 4, when the
classes of 1906 through 1909, 1925 through 1928, and 1944
through 1948 will meet for reunions.

Activities for the day will start
with a meeting of the permanent
class officers at 10:30 a. m., and
continue with the Trustees' lun>-
cheon for seniors at 1 p. m. Dur-
ing the afternoon, the returning
alumnae will be guests at the ded-
ication of the Frances Winship
Walters Infirmary, and at the
senior class day program.

The classes will have their re-
union dinners at 6:30 p. m. in the
Alumnae house, with each class
having its own table.

The returning "daughters" will
also participate in the activities
of the rest of the week-end, in-
cluding the Baccalaureate sermon
on Sunday morning, the coffee for
the alumnae, the faculty, and sen-
iors in the Alumnae garden oh
Sunday evening, and the com-
mencement exercises on Monday.

Class Activities to Initiate
CommencementWeekend

The activities of class day, bookburning, and junior cap-
ping will make June 4 a tradition-filled day on campus.

Class day, scheduled to begin at 4:30 p. m. in the May Day
dell, will carry out traditions dating back to 1913. Among
them is the daisy chain made by the sophomore class.

After the program, the seniors,

accompanied by their sister class,
will take the daisy chain to the
Quadrangle where they will place
it on the ground in the form of
an S.

' The program itself carries out
another tradition. Featured will
be the class will, history, prophe-
cy, and poem written and read by
Lee Cousar, Dot Porter Clements,
Lorton Lee, and Easy Beale. The
gift of the class of 1949 to the
school, and gifts to the mascot and
sponsors will also be presented at
this time.

Bookburning is another estab-
lished custom as old as class day.
It will take place after the even-
ing's entertainment in the tradi-
tional spot in front of Main. Each
senior burns the books, notes, or
tests of her most disliked subject,
and at the same time reads a po-
em. This procedure has been fol-
lowed ever since the beginning of
bookburning.

Junior capping is a relatively

new custom, dating back only
abefut 15 years. It takes place
immediately following bookburn-
ing, and is usually held in the
May Day dell. The ceremony is

and juniors.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wed.. May 18. 1949

Chapel Freedom? - Yes!

So we don't want compulsory chapel! at least we say we
don't. We say that forced worship is not true worship, that we
occasionally need the time to study, and finally that it would
be an insult to our glorified maturity and intelligence for the
privilege of voluntary chapel attendance to be withdrawn.
Yet thus far, we have acted in neither a very mature nor a
very intelligent manner about the situation.

It seems probable that we want compulsory chapel just to
have something to complain about. We have been warned
for months that we are holding our privilege with a very thin
cord that will certainly break if we don't strengthen it by
coming to chapel. Yet we merely extended a stronger invita-
tion to compulsory chapel by ignoring the "writing on the
wall."

We were shown during the last two weeks that chapel can
be a great experience in worship, fellowship, and the feeling
of school unity, but that compulsory chapel is a burden. Let's
quit passing the buck! The decision is up to you singular
and to me. C. K.

You Elect Them - Support Them

Representatives are elected for one purpose to serve the
student body. And on the whole, the success of their job de-
pends on those who elected them.

A new group of representatives has just been created the
Day Student council, formed as an organization working
through Lower House committee.

The council was created to fill a definite need. Day stu-
dents recognized this need, The News recognized it, and the
representatives recognized it.

The whole story could end right there. Or this new group
could grow and become a very essential Part of the life of a
day student at Agnes Scott. But it will grow only by the
wholehearted support of all the day students, and their coop-
eration in taking suggestions to this council.

It's up to the representatives to serve the student body,
and it's up to the students to support their representatives.

Lost Horizon

Tunnel, Curtains Foil Parks
In Search for City Skyline

By Nancy Parks

I went to New York.

New York is a very large city. There are many people
there, walking to and fro along the busy streets. There are
also many taxis. And Buses. And tall buildings. "Viva," I
cried when the Mademoiselle telegram came. "I have never
been to New York. This will be my golden opportunity for
Travel, for Education, for Life!"
And so, via the Infirmary, I went.

All my life I had heard of the
famous New York skyline. "Now
I will see this wonder," I thought
as our train left Newark. Soon
high buildings appeared across the
horizon it was the great city!
Craning to see better, I sat in
breathless expectation. But sud-
denly everything was blotted out.
The Hudson River closed over our
heads.

"Such things happen to many
people," I rationalized. "And af-
ter all, what right have I to be dis-
appointed ? v Would it not be worse
to be in a train that tried to swim
the river?"

Before anyone could say "Down
with the red" we were in Penn-
sylvania station.

"Ah," I rejoiced as the mob
swept me up the steps, "now I
shall surely see New York." But
then I noticed that New York time
was an hour later than Atlanta
time, and 'that I would have to
hurry on to the meeting. There-
fore, I got into a bright red and
yellow taxi.

Not knowing that the tops of
New York taxis could be pulled
back at will, I attempted to see
all between the station and the
Commodore Hotel through the
side windows. For some reason,
the streets and buildings went by
very quickly.

"It is all part of New York tem-
po," I philosophized. "I will pre-
tend not to notice. Then people
will think I am a New Yorker.''
And so I sat back, remembering
that I could see all these wonders
later.

But "later" was later than I
had thought. I bravely hid my
disappointment when I found the
draperies pulled tightly together
in the forum meeting place.
"Things could be worse," I re-
peated. Besides, the forum was
so interesting that I forgot for a
while that I still had not seen New
York. There was a brief relapse
into my former yearning, however,
when luncheon was announced.

"Surely we will have a few min-
utes to walk around in the city.
Perhaps I can run over to the Em-
pire State Building. I will even
be content just to see it."

"Tonight my friend and I will
see -this fabulous city," I hummed
to myself as I brushed my teeth.
And we did to an extent.

To our dismay, we became very
sleepy, and soon we were back
again at the Biltmore, brushing
our teeth once more, this time
for bed.

"Never mind," I consoled my-
self before dropping off to sleep.
"You'll see New York in the morn-
ing."

But I overslept. "How could
you do such a thing?" I raged in-
wardly. 'Now you must hurry ov-
er to the train station, for your
train leaves at noon. Then a for-

Archer Hits Foolish Quotes
By Shooting Foolish Replies

By Peggy Penuel

There have been many comments made on the fact that
people ask foolish questions, but very few people devote
themselves to devising foolish answers to fit the occasion. I
feel that if more people had a store of foolish answers ready,
there would be fewer and fewer foolish questions as the years
go by.

For instance, on one of those
furnace-like days which would
do justice to the inner realm of
Hades itself,
someone is al-
ways ready to
ask, "Is it hot
enough for
you?"

The obvious
answer is, "Of
course not.
Would you like
to join me in
going where it's
hotter?"
Another such question always
comes when I suddenly realize
that it is two minutes before my
class starts in Buttrick and I am
all the way across the campus in
the day student room.

I am almost across the quad-
rangle when I meet someone com-
ing across from the other direc-
tion at a leisurely gait. She stops

in front of me, causing me to
come to a screeching halt in front
of her, and says, "Do you have a
class this period?"

Someday I'm going to take the
time to stop, rearrange my notes
and my books, and say, "No, I
dropped a book in the lobby of
Buttrick awhile ago and I'm just
running back to catch it before it
hits the floor."

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor,

Now that the voting on NSA
has been completed and the re-
ports are in, it is time to congrat-
ulate the News on the fact that it
took such a definite stand on the
issue which was before us.

Although many of us did not
agree with the News, as was evi-
denced by the voting, we feel that
there was a concrete good in the
mere statement of opinion voiced
by the paper.

Many papers have tried to strad-
dle the fence on such matters.
However, it is now time to realize
that the only result of neutrality
is lack of interest, and that
thinking, alert people demand an
alert newspaper.

Peggy Penuel
Rose Ellen Gillam

Dear Editor,

I want to compliment The News
on taking a stand last week.

That 48-pt. headline really woke
the campus up to the impor-
tance of the NSA issue. The ed-
itorial brought the objections of
NSA clearly out in the open where
they could be accepted or answer-
ed. Equal space was given to the
arguments in favor of NSA which
is more than many papers would
do.

Criticism has flown freely be-
cause The News took such a
strong stand on a 3 to 2 vote of
the editorial staff. NSA passed
on a 3 to 2 vote, but Agnes Scott
is just as much a member.

Even if that were not true, two
of the three against NSA were
the editor and the managing ed-
itor. Their decision should really
be enough, for they are elected
to set the policies of the paper.
The job of the rest of the staff is
'to work with them.

I am proud of The News for
taking their stand and for mak-
ing The News an active organiza-
tion rather than a publicity sheet
for campus activities. If I were
still editor, we would have done
the same, with the execption that
the head would have read,

THE NEWS STANDS FOR
NSA.

Lorton Lee

Dear Editor.

This is just to say thanks for
a swell issue of the News.

I'm glad to see you all express-
ing opinions and giving both sides
of a question.

The recent issue was, in my
opinion, the best that's ever been
published.

Best of luck.

Junior Class,
Honors Seniors
With Rose Tea

One of the most beautiful par-
ties of the season was the Rose
Tea given last Thursday after-
noon in the Alumnae gardens by
the junior class in honor of the
graduating seniors.

With roses as their theme, the
juniors created a springtime fair-
yland under the picturesque arbor
loaded with pink roses. The foun-
tain also was piled high with roses
and in the pool floated magnolia
blossoms.

The tea table was covered with
a lovely lace cloth and in the
center was a low bowl of pink
roses. White satin streamers ex-
tended over the table tipped with
pink rosebuds.

Receiving the guests were the
officers of the Junior class, Norah
Anne Little, president*; B. J. Crow-
ther, vice-president'; Vivienne Pat-
terson, secretary; Pat Overton,
treasurer; and Charlotte Bartlett
and Helen Edwards. They were
attired in bouffant evening gowns.
The class sponsor, Mrs. Rebekah
Clark, served tea.

Pink-eared Mr. Rabbit Thrills
To See Fairyland at Dooleys

By Harriot Ann McGulre

There was a Bunny Rabbit at Dooley's Frolics. Although most of
you were unaware that he was present, he saw everything everybody
did the whole week-end.

A week ago Friday, when Dooley underwent his annual resurrection,
our Bunny's little rabbit hole was disturbed. As only
rabbits can do, he rapidly became interested in what
was going on about him in his campus world; and
spent the rest of the week following Dooley and his
bony cronies.

'the lawn pageants and decorations were a fan-
tastic fairyland to Mr. Rabbit. He started at the
top of Fraternity Row and hopped all the way
around, keeping his little eyes glued constantly to
the left. He would have liked to stop at -the Uncle
| Remus pageant at the Delta Tau house to play with
* the toy animals, but he was glad he hopped on as
he discovered with joy the Mother Goose characters which the K. A.'s
had brought 'to life, and the big watch that the rabbit in "Alice In
Wonderland" had so proudly displayed on the S. A. E. lawn. His only
sad and frightening moment was when he saw the expansive blue sea
in front of the Pi K. A. house. As he scurried on to the end of the Row,
he heard sweet music that filled the air; and he decided it must be
coming from the new gym.

This is Our Bunny's Tale

And he, being a brainy Bunny, was very correct. The doors of the
gym were gates which opened a whole new fantastic world to Mr. Rab-
bit, and he spent the evening staring in wonderment at all the bright
costumes. There were wild Indians, animals of all kinds, kings and
queens, pirates and sailors, little kids with balloons and wrinkled
witches. There were cards, fairies, lords and ladies at court, alluring
Arabian beauties, and an odd sort of people called Americans, dressed
in cotton dresses and sport suits. All these our Bunny saw and
twitched his pink ears and cotton tail with excitement.

Scon Belles Wow Bunny

Orchestra leader Elliot Lawrence and Bunny got to be friends and
he offered the rabbit a ring-side seat for the Saturday night ball. If
you had looked on top of the piano during the formal, you would have
seen him watching every beautiful sponsor as she danced in the lead-
out. He showed good judgment by being partial to the Agnes Scott
girls. He described to me in detail the lovely gowns of our own spon-
sors. Jane Oliver, representing the A. T. O.'s, was lovely in a delicate
blue gown, outstanding for its skirt of fifteen yards of bouffant organ-
dy. Sigma Nu sponsor, Julianne Cook, was lovely in white eyelet.
Her full skirt was gathered at the waist under a bright green tafetta
sash. Lavender and purple were the colors chosen by Bess Lundeen,
Chi Phi sponsor. Her net formal was trimmed with purple violets.
Light blue organdy complimented the pretty blond hair of our Val Von
Lehe, K. A. sponsor. The back of her* dress was accented by rows
of fluffy ruffles.

In the curious absence of Dooley, the president of Inter-fraternity
Council broke on Gary Still, sponsor of the proud Pi K. A.'s, and de-
clared her queen of the Dooley Frolics of 1949. In case you're curi-
ous about what happened to Dooley Saturday nighty just ask Mr. Rab-
bithe knows!

Tech nically Speaking

Dooley comes and Dooley goes, but Tech activities go on forever.
The Beta's had a house dance with the unique theme of kids. Those
who enjoyed their second (or their first!) childhood Saturday night
were Isabel Truslow, Jessie Carpenter, Ann Gebhardt, Eliza White,
and Susan Bowling. Lake Raburn was the scene of the S. A. E. house-
party. Sunburnt campers who can easily be distinguished are Beryl
Crews. Lyd Gardner, Diddie Sells, Margaretta Lumpkin, Jane Puek-
ett, Tijbby King:, Xelda Brantley, Margaret Glenn. Teeka Long, Gene
Wilson, and Betty Williams.

Pins and Parties

The Tech parties were numerous and varied, and the Alma Mater
was represented at almost all of them. Saturday night, Mary Stubbs,
Jerry Keef, Lynn Phillips, and Joan Lawrence enjoyed the Sigma Nu
Baseball party. The Chi Psi's entertained Marjorie Orr, Carolyn GaS
breath, and Evelyn Foster at a house dance. The week-end was ex-
citing for Ginny Feddeman, Sue and Lou Floyd, and Jackie Palmer, be-
cause they went to Lakemont on the Theta Chi houseparty. Sue is
proudly wearing President Sam's frat pin.

A Friday the thirteenth birthday, and "Moonlight and V. P. I."
made an exciting week-end for Emily Pope. Tiny Morrow has Hen-
ry Robinson's A. T. O. pin; a new member of the Phi Delta Theta
fraternity is Frances Smith; and Betty Esco is wearing a Lambda Chi
pin.

Athletic Association to Present
Twin-Feature in Chapel Thur.

By Marguerite Jackson

Tomorrow, May 19, is the "big day" for all you sports-mind-
ed Aggies. Athletic association has charge of the chapel pro-
gram which lists a double-feature.

As a grand finale to the quarter and year's activities, A. A.
will pin the girls who have earned 1600 points for participa-
tion in athletic events on campus.

They will award the cup to the
class with the highest number of
points for winning team and in-
dividual sports. They will also
recognize tournament winners.

The tennis
and golf tour-
naments and
the softball
games could
not be complet-
ed before this
date, due to the
spring rains
which annually
matriculate to
Agnes Scott.
Winners for these events will re-
ceive their awards later in the
uarter. * ,

"Secret" is the word for the
other half of A. A.'s program.
Only members of the board are in
the know. Thus, attendance at
chapel will be compulsory unless
you want to hear the news second
hand.

Rumor, via the sports leaders,
says that to appreciate the true
"blue" value of the presentation,
you Aggies must see, not hear, it.

Incidentally, your sports repor-

you please give them a rest by
swapping them for bicycles? Just
turn in any Montag wrapper or

A minimum of 3,000 horses
are required for one bike. A. A .

spring.

If any mechanical trouble
should develop while you are rid-
ing one of the bicycles please have
it fixed and the bill sent to Agnes

will save wear and tear on the
wheel and the board, money later
on.

5HE HAS TO MAKE A QUICK CHANGE AFTERWARDS

School Study Ends;
Summer Fun Begins

"Yippee! I'm through!" rang through the halls of Buttrick
last week as girls staggered out of exam rooms, tore up nu-
merous pages of outlines on yellow paper, and dashed home
to pack up that last pair of white sandals.

Through with what? And through FOR what?

Through with nine months of studying, learning, and play-
ing. Nine months that have been filled with enough activity
to make it necessary to keep an alert mind.

Through FOR summer vacation. Three months that are
generally associated with lazy afternoon siestas, hot days on
a crowded beach, and balmy nights with moonlight rippling
across, the water.

That's all very fine, but!

A life time is not an awfully long time. And in the final
analysis, time that is purposely wasted is time thrown in the
trash basket.

No one would say that time spent relaxing is time wasted
that is, when the relaxing is done for a purpose, and that pur-
pose usually being to clear our minds for something big,
something new.

That's what summer is for! Relax, and rest, and learn
Learning the art of relaxing is as much a characteristic
of the mature person as is learning the art of learning.

The summer is here now. D. M.

Every week before the News goes to press, the "ad" staff
emerges from a secret ceremony which involves some
strange mutterings about "column inches," "cuts," and "pica
measurements" to present the advertising material which
will appear in the next issue.

The final result is not just so many pictures at the bottom
of the news pages; it's there for a reason, and a good one.
Those ads pay for your News. Every inch means just that
much more money.

But the ads are there for the reader, too. They offer a sort
of miniature shopper's guide for the products and services
a college girl is looking for. The advertisers are conveniently
located and can provide reliable products, and they're adver-
tising in the paper because they think it pays.

Only the readers can prove that they're right by buying
their materials. If they are, they get more business, The News
their materias. If they are, they get more business, The News
gets more ads, and you get better service.

lems which you must solve without advice of parents or fac-
ulty advisors. The future is perhaps clouded with uncertain-
ty and bewilderment. However one surety is that the spirit
of Agnes Scott is ever present and everlasting.

The friendly atmosphere and helpful spirit so evidenced
here will be remembered with gratitude. The things learned
will increase in value each successive year, for they afford
basic preparation for every phase of life.

You may leave Agnes Scott, but you will always be within
the sheltering arms, for they reach around the world. A. M.

Dear Editor:

I was both shocked and dis-
mayed at your NSA editorial. I
was shocked because such a stand
could be taken by a member of a
Christian institution, and dismay-
ed that one who has been expos-
ed to some of the advantages of
higher education could write such
hate propaganda.

You are in an editorial position
a position in which you could
lead your fellow students from
bigotry, intolerance, and preju-
dice. You are inciting it.

I thoroughly agree that the
writer of this editorial is not
ready psychologically nor men-
tally for NSA and all" it stands
for. Evidently the writer is a nar-
row, prejudiced provincial, too im-
mature for participation.

I sincerely trust and believe
that your opinion must be a per-
sonal one as editorials frequently
are, and does not reflect the de-
sires and beliefs of the Agnes
Scott teachers and student body.
Very truly yours,
William H. Pinson, Jr.
Emory University

Edit's note

The News' stand against NAS
was not prompted by racial pre-
judice, but was a careful evalua-
tion of the factors pro and con.

May we remind Mr. Pinson
that the function of editorials is
not to report the opinions of the
teachers and student body, but to
reflect the standards of the news-
paper as set forth by the editor
and managing editor.

Specializes in June Weddings

By Lorton Lee

A streak of lightning attached to a motor-bike is identified
on campus as William Calder, professor of physics. If the
flash is on foot it's Mrs. Dorothy Calder.

Mrs. Calder landed at Agnes Scott with her husband and
son and daughter two years ago and has been busy becoming
an unreplaceable part of the , _ ,

campus, and the candid shots she dark room door m the Science

In her extra-campus activities
Mrs. Calder teaches a combina-
tion fifth and sixth grade in the
Clairmont elementary school,
raises a family, writes, and gar-
dens. Billy, her oldest child, is
14, and Francie is 11.

Mrs. Calder contributes articles
to the woman's page of "The
Christian Science Monitor" and
writes poetry for her own pleas-
ure. She illustrated her own arti-
cle on the Astronomy club which
appeared in last summer's maga-
zine section of The Atlanta Jour-
nal.

Gardening is another favorite
of Mrs. Calder's, and she has al-
ready planted tomatoes at their
newly-acquired cottage at Pine
Lake. In fact Mrs. Calder likes
all about the outdoors, swimming,
hiking and camping out. Dr. Cal-
der admits that she does all the
work around the grounds, but
Mrs. Calder adds that she is the
only wife who has harp accompa-
niment for her lawn mowing.

Mr. and Mrs. Calder were mar-

father was the minister and his
mother the organist. After leav-
ing Wisconsin they moved to
Harvard for seven years.

Mrs. Calder's love of photogra-

Mademoiselle Selects Addams
As Guest Editor of College Issue

Bett Addams, who is a juni6r at Agnes Scott College, has
been appointed a guest editor of Mademoiselle magazine.

She was one of twenty college students to win a guest edi-
torship, in competition with one thousand undergraduates
who are members of Mademoiselle's National College Board
at colleges and universities across
the country.

The twenty guest editors will
be brought to New York City by
Mademoiselle for four weeks from
June 6 through July 1, to help
write and edit the magazine's an-
nual August college issue. They
will be paid round-trip transpor-
tation plus a regular salary for
their work.

While in New York, they will
be assigned to the magazine jobs
which best fit their interests and
training. Each guest editor will
interview celebrities in her chos-
en field and will take field trips
to fashion, radio and photo-
graphic studios, to newspaper of-
fices, department stores and va-
rious points of interest in New
York City.

In addition the guest editors
will take part in an individualized
vocational program designed to
help them succeed in their various
fields. Mademoiselle has also
planned a full round of social ac-
tivities for the month.

The twenty* guest editors won
their appointments on the basis
of three magazine assignments
during the school year. These in-
cluded reports on campus trends
in fashion, art, classroom studies
and extra-curricular activities.

Agnes Scotters' Travel Trials
Lead to Tar Away Places'

By Helen Edwards

"Send me a copy of your itinerary so I can call you in
Paris." "How long are you going to be in London?" "Good-
ness, I hope we can get tickets to 'South Pacific' while we're
in New York!"

No, it's not a repeat performance of "Our Hearts Were
Young and Gay;" those people

really are going to Europe! And
Agnes Scott is going to be repre-
sented in various parts of our
own country, too, as girls leave
for New York, Illinois and Minne-
sota.

Ann Williamson and Pat Over-
ton will be in the World Council
of Churches workcamps in Agape,
Italy, and Stutgart, Germany,
respectively.

Information folders said to
bring "a sleeping bag, work
clothes, two hands, and a willing
heart," but they are also taking
a few things for a tour of France,
Germany, and Italy before they
return in September.

The International Youth Camp
in Wales is Sara Jane Campbell's
destination. This conference is
sponsored by the Welsh League
of Youth to "foster international
understanding." For two weeks
a group of one hundred thirty stu-
dents from all over the world will
discuss mutual problems, then
will tour England, Scotland, and
Wales.

Billie Powell. Kate Elmore, and
Norah Anne Little are getting
passports for their tours of Eu-
rope. Kate will stay in England,

Scotland and Wales because she
says, "You have to take too many
shots to go to Italy." Billie's tour
will include France, England,
Germany, Italy, and Switzerland,
and Norah Anne plans to see ap-
proximately the same places after
she and her parents meet Mary-
beth in Switzerland.

Bett Adams and Charlotte
Barllett will spend most of the
summer in New York. Bett has
been selected for the Mademoi-
selle College Board and will work
on layouts for the August issue.
Charlotte will attend Christian
Association President's School at
Union Theological Seminary for
six weeks.

The NSA conference in Illinois
in August will find two represent-
atives from its new member, Ag-
nes Scott. Noel Barnes is to be
sent as the official delegate, and
Charlotte Key will go as alter-
nate.

Cama Clarkson will go to Bar-
nard, Minnesota, the last of June
to attend the three-day Mortar
Board conference there.

And now that exams are over
Just can't wait to get back in
September and hear what all
these cosmoDolites have to tell!

Faculty Makes
Summer Plans
For Research

Several of the Agnes Scott fac-
ulty will be working on research
projects this summer at colleges
and universities all over this
country and in South America.

Five faculty members will be
working with Carnegie grants.
Paul L. Garber, professor of Bible,
will continue his work on the
project that has been under way
for the past two years building
a model reconstruction of Solo-
mon's temple. Since the last mo-
del was made in 1897, there has
been a good bit of research done
on Palestinian architecture and
on the history of architecture. Dr.
Garber is putting together the
newly discovered material and
will have the model made. This
summer will be spent doing re-
search work in the Oriental In-
stitute at the University of Chi-
cago, at Yale and Harvard, and at
Johns Hopkins university.

Another of tfye Agnes Scott fac-
ulty members will be helping im-
prove Inter-American relations
with her work in Brazil. Florene
J. Dunstan, assistant professor of
Spanish, will do biographical re-
search on Ruy Barbosa and Bar-
on Rio Branco, two outstanding
Brazilians. She will work in the
libraries in Rio de Janeiro and in
the personal library in Barbosa's
home, now a museum, and with
newspaper files. Mrs. Dunstan
will also interview various per-
sons who know of the contribu-
tions these two men made to the
government. On her way home,
she will stop in Montevideo, Bue-
nos Aires, Santiago, and Lima.

Melissa A. Cilley, assistant pro-
fessor of Spanish, will be doing
work on Portuguese literature at
either Harvard university or in
Portugal.

Margret G. Trotter, assistant
professor of English, will spend
her summer here in Decatur do-
ing some writing.

Working at the University of
North Carolina will be Anna
Green Smith. She will be work-
ing there on a book to be pub-
lished in the fall, "Fifty Years of
Southern Writing." Miss Smith
will probably spend some time in
Washington and New York.

Two faculty members have re-
ceived University center research
grants. Janef N. Preston, assis-
tant professor of English, will use
hers to do research on Gerard
Manley Hopkins and his poetry.

Ellen Douglas Leyburn, asso-
ciate professor of English, will
cross the country to work in the
Huntingdon library in Pasadena,
California. She will do research
on Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" in
connection with a paper she pub-
lished a few years ago on alle-
gory and satire. The Huntingdon
library nas a distinguished 18th
century collection and exists for
research only.

Katharine T. Omwake, associ-
ate professor of psychology, was
awarded a Carnegie grant, but
will be unable to do research
work this summer.

ris, another member of the class
of '49, will be office assistant.

Other appointments in the
dean's office and the dietitian's
office will be announced later.

C. A. Halo

By Joann Peterson

Agnes Scott students are quite
individualistic at least the C. A.
questionnaire reveals that there
are about as many different ans-
wers to some of the questions as
there ar^ students! For instance,
almost everybody suggested an
original idea for next year's C. A.
theme. There were a few agree-
ments on this, but not many.

Three seniors want "Others
The Golden Rule"; several others
think "Tolerance" would be the
ideal subject while three girls
suggest that we continue with
the same topic, "Live Christ
Love Christ."

Music programs rate first
choice for most people as the
best type of C. A. chapel program
with outside speakers as the next
preference.

Answers to questions about at-
titudes on Snack Suppers were
startling in their variations. Ap-
plause ran high with such com-
ments as "Wonderful", Enlight-
ening", "Very good", "Excellent"
and "Most stimulating and woth-
while!"

Most frequent objections were:
"They conflict with Church ser-
vices", "They don't receive en-
ough publicity (especially in the
News," "Should have better
snack suppers" or "there isn't en-
ough discussion." Many people
seemed to like the idea, but said
that they had other plans on
Sundays.

Polly Anna Philips Will Marry

May Pours Showers at AS
For Future Wedding Belles

By Harriot Aim McGuire

June June the month of roses, vacations, and BRIDES!
May is the month for maying and showering the brides. Many
an Agnes Scott calendar has been filled with dates of show-
ers, luncheon, teas, and suppers all in honor of brides-to-be.
Let's see when, who had what, where, and who was there.

Doris Sullivan, Tilly Alexander, El Bear, and Marie Cuth-
bertson were hostesses at a tea in the Alumnae House on May
14. Those lucky girls, with rings on their fingers and bells
in their heads (church bells, that is) who were honored were
Charlsie Smith, Robic Robinson, Dot Porter Clements, Bun-
ny Brannen, Butch Hays, Nancy Parks and Splinter Board.

Hearts Are Trumps

Betty Blackmon was honored on May 19 by a kitchen show-
er, given by her roommate, Reese Newton. The party was in
Reese's home and about 30 Agnes Scott seniors were there.
"Beeble" and Johnny will be married on June 21.

Bride-to-be Steele Dendy was honored at a dessert-bridge
on May 21. The hostesses for the 16 Agnes Scott girls were
Virginia Vinings and Ann Carol Blanton.

Pots 'n Pans, Towels 'n Tablecloths

Butch Hays, bride of this afternoon, has been showered
with showers. Mary Price and B. J. Sauer attendants,
gave her a linen shower on May 21. Butch's immediate class-
mate friends were there. Mrs. P. L. Harrison of Atlanta was
hostess at a buffet supper for Butch and some of her friends
on May 19. The next night, Mrs. W. T. Mealor honored her
with a kitchen shower, which was a night-time party.

There have been several lovely parties for Fay Ball, who
will be married to Bill on June 19. A linen-lingerie shower
was given by Barbara Cochran and Zora Hodges on June 2,
and Mrs. Ann Seitzinger Smith, an alumnae from Agnes
Scott, gave a kitchen shower for Fay.

Splinter's and Bunny's

Splinter Board, who will be married on July 1,' was guest
of honor at a dinner party and miscellaneous shower, given
by Jo Heinz and Rick Ramseur. Those who enjoyed the
party at the Alumnae House were Ann Faucet, Le Cousar,
Dot Porter Clements, Nancy Huey and Nancy Dendy. On
June 4, Shirley Simmons gave a coke party for two brides-
elect, Splinter Board and Bunny Brannen. About 30 girls .
enjoyed hearing all about the wedding plans.

Tommy and Betty Van Houten gave a bridge party for
Bunny on May 28. Julie Weathers, Binky Stubbs Farris, Dot
Quillian, Jane Efurd and Betty Phillips and their dates had a
grand slam of a time. Also entertaining Bride-Bunny was
Mrs. R. W. Hancock, on June 5. Dot Quillian, Jane Efred,
Betty Van Houten, Betsy Baker, Julie Weathers and Binky
Farris were present at the party. Dot Quillian will be host-
ess at the rehearsal dinner.

Plantations and Paradise

The Plantation House was the site for the luncheon given
by Mary Frances Perry and Jean Tollison, in honor of bride-
elect Betty Beddingfield. Mary Jo Ammonds, Irene McCleod,
Val Von Lehe, Ruby Lehman, Margie Graves, Johanna
Woods, Helen Christian and Alice Jean Caswell enjoyed the
party. On June 2 Ruby Lehman gave Betty a luncheon at
the Paradise Room.

Guess What! More Parties

Happy Nancy Parks, who will become Frank's bride soon,
has been given several lovely parties. Hunt Morris and An-
gie Anderson gave a shower for her on May 21, in the home
of the Paul Carber's. Also, Lorton Lee entertained last
year's Boyd-crowd and the Seniors in Lupton on May 22.
This was a television party, in honor of Nancy and Splinter.

Mariie Cuthbertson took three Agnes Scott brides-to-be and
their roommates to luncheon on May 25. Mimi Arnold, Betty
Blackmon and B"nny Brannan were honored, along with
Anne Irwin and Reese Newton.

Surprise! Something For the Groom

One of the luckiest girls I know is Martha Williamson Tur-
pin, because she was extensively entertained the month be-
fore she became Mrs. Turpin. On April 30, Mrs. Graham Wil-
liamson gave a luncheon at her home on Pine Valley Road
for the bride-elect and twelve of her close friends. Sally Lou
Dickert gave a luncheon on May 14, at her home on Fourth
Street. A very original party was given on May 20 by Jane
Sharkey and Barbara Sheeler, in the form of a dinner and
surprise shower for the groom. There were a steak fry and
a handkerchief shower and a buffet supper given the couple.
Charlotte Bartlett honored Martha at a tea at Franklin Si-
mon's on May 25.

Among the Agnes Scott girls who have enjoyed these lovely
parties were Jane Sharkey, Barbara Sheeler, Charlotte Bart-
lett, of the wedding party, Cama Clarkson, Helen Edwards,
Jean Osborn, B. J. Crowther, Nancy Wilkinson, Cathie Da-
vis, Sally Thompson, Melda Birdsal, Sally Lou Dickert and
Dot Medlock.

Aggie Hottentot 'Says Piece' for Senior Sister

By Dorthy Porter Clements

Hello- I,ve been waiting a long time to say my piece. My
name is Aggie Hottentot, and I go to school here You re-
member me You don't 0

Why, don't you remember four years ago. I was there
when you got off the train, and I helped you wipe away

those tears. I rushed a C. A. girl], . w

beauties in the May Court. Re-
member that bush that kept mov-
ing? Well, I was in it, trying to
see Jo Snow and Jean Fraser.

Well, I spent the summer with
Mrs. Smith trying to clean up the
dormitories, but soon I found my-
self smashed between two scream-
ing hugging sophomores. Sum-
mer was over and somehow there
were no tears to wipe away be-
cause you were helping lonely
frosh yourself.

Cat Tale
Into classes you went. Out to
hockey practice you ian. Over to
the gym you hurried where Easy
was ready to practice "CateYbury
Tales" for Black Cat. Dead-pan
Bunny was a magnificent foot-
note and Mini Steele roared ap-
propriately.

Tears and Cheers

Remember how we laughed and
cried when the decision went, yes,
to the class of 1949! This time I
grabbed the judge and did a small
Irish jig.

Then we joined Pi Alpha Phi,
Blackfriars, and Cotillion. 'We
participated in the swimming pa-
geant, operated Pair-a-Dice, won
the swimming meet, and the hoc-
key and basketball championships.
Golly, it was a grand old gang.
Intellectual, Too!
You can bet your bottom dollar,
little Aggie Hottentot was proud
when Dr. McCain read out that
long honor roll list and was ever
more impressed when you solemn-
ly lined the aisles at Investiture.

We were a little disappointed
when our class lost by 27 cents
in the Junior Joint fray, but we
were pleased to see our skit take
first place.

The Cottage Survey

Elections and May Day took
much of our time, and you re-
member the results Once more,
everyone left me for the summer,
and I spent my time in the cot-
tages where you were to live in
September.

When you greeted me I was a
little puzzled. You had that "I'm
an upper classman look". My en-
thusiasm seemed a little out of
place, but I knew it couldn't last
long. You were bursting to get
into Black Cat, C. A. and A. A.
activities, and I knew that this
was to be a glorious year for you.

Polly and Reese were into plays.
Nancy Parks was leading Lower
House. We were planning the All-
Southern Debate Tourney, and
the hockey champion was ours
again.

May Day was to feature Nan-

over to your corner in the termin-
al and we hopped in a taxi and
went to Agnes Scott.

There were 161 of you and Miss
Scandrett looked you all over.
She agreed with me that even
though you looked a little weary,
you stilled looked promising.

When you got to Inman I ha
ed for you to see those bare
rooms, with those high windows,
and little closets. Why they look-
ed almost as bare as you did when
the Phys. Ed. department inquir-
ed into your health.

However, with the help of C.
A's Dek-It department and your
own originality you made those
rooms look like a million and I
was proud of you.
Committees and Peanut Butter

Whenever I think of all you put
me through during Orientation
week, I ache all over. We shoved
furniture, hung curtains, and I
had to push you up to the elec-
tives committee, and push you
away from the peanut butter jar
at the parties.

All of this was just a prelude
to Black Cat, and I knew it.
When you elected Butch, she put
you to work writing the script,
making costumes and scenery,
and composing songs.

Remember how excited we were
that night our skit the "Forty-
niners" was presented. And re-
member how loudly we sang "It's
a Grand Old Gang," even though
we had lost. I'll tell you all the
Frosh were grand sport, but I
wasn't. I was so mad that I pull-
ed the judge's hair 'til he hollered,
and he couldn't see me either.
Respectively Submitted

Out of this came the class of
'49 a clase determined to be a
winner. We elected Reesie our
president, Tillie, our vice presi-
dent, Binkie, our treasurer and
Marie and El went to exec.

Our hockey team went down
fighting, but we had gotten in
the swing of things, and I don't
exclude the fraternity swing. Re-
member that Friday night wash
my hair, polish my nails, find a
Senior chaperone routine.
Basketball Courting

Hiding in your new hair-do, I
saw you flirt with that Tech man,
and I wondered how many more
times you'd be pinned and in love.

And then it happened. The
Frosh began a winning streak in
basketball that wasn't to stop as
long as Bunny kept up her good
record.

Queen of Hearts

Campus clubs were campaign-
ing to get the Frosh in their
ranks, and then came Junior
Joint. You made me, little Aggie
Hottentot crawl up and hang
"give 'til it hurts" across the en-
trance of Inman. The cry of "Re-
member Black Cat" echoed
through the halls of Inman and
Easy led us to victory when we
saw Juiinnru' crowned The Queen
of Hearts.

Elections came in the spring
and I was busy campaigning.
Hunt. Nancy, and Sully went to
Exec Butch, Ann. Nancy Deal
and l)en<h to C. A. and Bunny
and Marie to A. A. We returned
Recsie to her old post as presi-
dent.

x We finished the year out by
claiming the championship in
volleyball, and by presenting our

cy's scenario. Pinny was to star
in Swan Lake and poor Agnes
Berentzen was trying to acquire
a Southern accent.

Cracking the Whip

By then, I was panting for
breath when lo and behold, the
class of '49 decided to put on the
most magnanimous Junior Joint
Agnes Scott had ever seen. I
practicesd "By the Sea" and
"Hello, My Honey", 'till I was al-
most dead.

Butch and I hung crepe paper
into the wee hours and Mary and
i peddled tickets until people
jumped behind a bush when they
saw us coming. Why you had to
elect that slave-driver Porter for
chairman is beyond me!

Bless You!

But wasn't it fun to work to-
gether, to transform the gym into
The Golden Horseshoe, and to see
the pleased look on our patron's
faces. When Dr. McCain came out
as Diamond Jim Brady, I was
hiding in his mustache and tickled
it 'til he sneezed.

We still had enough energy to
be in the "Mikado", win the bas-
ketball championship, and to
cheer Sully whe'n she was named
president of Mortar Board.

More Elections

Elections put Nancy, Mary and
Marie up in the top-posts and
the rest of you had heavy respon-
sibilities, too. Lorton took over
The News, Tilly made plans for
the annual, and Geffcken was get-
ting inspiration for The Aurora.

How we cheered our 14 leaders
elected to Mortar Board, and how
we glowed at May Day when
Mimi, Be Bla, Julianne, and Betty
graciously adorned the May
Court.

Seniors at Last

All summer I wondered what
you'd be like when you got back
and were officially seniors. I
knew that you had grown spiri-
tually and intellectually, and I
was glad, but 1 wondered would
you, could you have forgotten
how to have fun, and to play.
Would you be the usual decrepit
Senior class? I found my answer
in the fall quarter.

You decided to win the hockey
championship again. Then Dr.
McCain asked you under the lead-
ership of Mortar Board to get

the campaign off to a good start
and you didn't stop until you
reached the goal and won all four
of the 1,000-dollar prizes.

Who's Who ?

Then you sold magazine sub-
scriptions, Christmas cards, had
a tea, and golly, I was tired In-
vestiture must have been inspir-
ing I couldn't attend, you know,
because I was taking a final in
Arabian history.

Honors didn't stop there be-
cause nine of you were listed in
"Who's Who in American Col-
leges and Universities," and the
rest helped win the basketball
championship.

You'd only begun then because
along came Junior Joint and you
collected the most money for the
charities, and your skit won first
place too Nancy Huey had you
working, but I fooled her. I hid
in Bob Cousar's pocket and didn't
do a lick of work.

Engaging Girls

I was thinking by March that
you were the busiest crew I had
ever known, but when a total of
23 of you became engaged I knew
you were. Nothing could stop the
grand old gang.

Reese won the Claude S. Ben-
nett trophy. Nancy was elected
one of America's 50 outstanding
students. Lorton's paper won an
Ail-American rating, and well, O.
K. so you didn't do so well in soft-
ball.

Curtain Call

You made up for that though in
Senior Opera. "Alarmin' Carmen"
you called it, and I agree you
must have been alarmed to have
that slave-driver again. All those
practices. Me, I was with "yeah"
Thomson on the spotlight watch-
ing you toil.

That night though I was sit-
ting on the prompter's shoulders
when you went through it with-
out one mistake (free publicity)

Well, school was almost ready
to close Fourteen of you were
rewarded when you became mem-
bers of Phi Beta Kappa, and the
rest of us settled down for exams.

We didn't settle down so far
though that we couldn't cheer
and sing when our class won the

Beale Writes
Rose Sonnet
To Graduates

By Easy Beale

Soft through the dell the warmth
of summer's sun

Is blown. Light winds have stirr-
ed the needled pine

'Til patterned, spicy fingers dance
in fun

Upon the ruffled grass in flick-
ering line.

The full-blown rose reflects the
shifting rays,

Half-tilts to waft a fragrant pe-
tal down

A spurt of color, caught in sun-
lit days,

Soon settles in dark splendor,

shadow-blown.
So we now sing the summer's

song, explore
The lilt of life that warms the

summer sun.
Our racing footsteps dance the

forest floor,
Trampling tender grass in exulr

tation.

Our summer song! How quick in

warmth it grows
To the whispered beauty of the

full-blown rose.

Lorton's Time Machine Flips Forward-1974

By Lorton Lee

Finding myself in need of a
prophecy, I retired into a trance,
and there I met the Ghost of Zin-
zendorff.

"What'll ya have," quoth Zin-
nie.

"122 prophesies", I said.

"Ye gods," cried Zinnie.

"Amen!" I said simply.

Whereupon we dove into a hud-
dle and came out with this mud-
dle "an account of the Future
Events and Happenings of the In-
dividual Members of the Class of
1949 and their Relations to their
Former Classmates at Agnes
Scott College", or "1949 Came
Out Fine".

Despite the rather pessimistic
prophecy of the class' rousing
theme song, "It's a Grand Old
Gang, and Together We'll Hang,"
the majority escaped the gallows
and in the year 1974 we find
them all claiming to be still in
their thirties, healthy, happy and
henpecking.

Ninety-nine and forty-four one
hundredths per cent are married,
have talented children and sim-
ilar grandchildren. The other one
is raising cocker spaniels.

Naturally home, house, hus-
bands and so forth take up very
little time if properly scheduled
into the day's work and so forty-
niners have become to put it
modestly positively outstanding.

Several went out into the world
only to be tossed right back into
positions on campus.

Kate Durr Elmore has finally
come back to teach. She has re-
placed the entire faculty.

She has as her assistants in
astronomy, Harriotte Winchester
and Tilly Alexander. They have
just returned from a trip to Mars
where they were able to study the
rings of Saturn from a more ad-
vantageous angle. Tilly reports
that the Agnes Scott observatory
is noted in the Mars handbook,
"Several Wonders of the Planet
Earth." It heads the , list, of
course.

While there, Harriotte also ran
into Polly Miles and Irene Mc-
Leod. They are working in the
Foreign office department orien-
tating Martians for immigration
into the United States. Irene de-
signs individual hats to cama-
flouge their pointed heads, while
Polly holds conferences in breath-
ing exercises to acclimate their
lungs to the earth's atmosphere.

Back on earth we find Dot Por-
ter Clements packing for a trip.
Her permission has just come
through and she will join Lowell
in Arabia in just a few months.

Katherine Geffcken has already
gone abroad as a missionary to
Africa. She is teaching the apes
to imitate men. Her last words
upon leaving civilization were,
"Ah-ah-ah."

Mary Aichel is minister of fin-
ance in Greece. She has disposed

of the country's deficit and estab-
lished it as the most financially
stable country of Europe. Her
secret to success was* the institu-
tion of annual Roman banquets
held in the ruins of the Parthe-
non.

Janet Quinn is the United
States government's chief effi-
ciency expert. She has just fin-
ished revising the pledge to the
flag, cutting the reading time in
half by eliminating all articles.

Marie Cuthbertson is the only
woman member of the Internat-
ional Athletic Board for Reviving
the Sport of Whale Harpooning.

Anne Hayes has just been nam-
ed Japan's ideal of what Mrs.
America should be.

Betty Blackmon and her or-
chestra, "The Be-Bla Five" have
won international fame with their
rendition of scores from Nancy
Dendy's latest southern opera en-
titled "Hey". She is working on a
sequel to be called "How Are
You?" which should be completed
early next month.

The most famous members of
"The Be-Bla Five" are Hot Dot
Morrison and her hairnet clarinet
and violinist Mary Anne, whose
slogan is "Swoon and Croon with
Maryanne Broun" Singing with
them is Willene "Hard-hearted
Hanna" Tarry.

Busy spying for the government
is Margaret Brewer, who contin-
ues to write her sports column
Play by Play, an explanation of
the intricacies of the famous di-
plomatic chess game. Her only
competitor for the title of "the
most charmin" is the one and
only Butch the Alarmin' Hays.

Nancy Parks is graciously
bouncing her newest grandchild.
In her best-seller, "Life is Love-
ly" she explains that this method
of raising children is excellent
for strengthening young muscles,
polishing hardwood floors and de-
veloping that "get-up-and-go" in-
stinct in the very early stages of
childhood.

New York and Paris now look
to Atlanta where Mary Frances
Jones and Frances Long lead the
fashion world with their crea-
tions. They have revolutionized,
dress designing making the skirts
reach down to the middle, of the
calf, about 13 inches from the
floor. Some women are revolting
against it but the majority seem
to be following the dictates of the
designers. These long skirts are
called the New Look.

Modeling in their shows are
Nelda Bantley, Steele Dendy,
Betsy Deal, Johanna Wood, Alice
Crenshaw, Helen Christian, and
Jean Harper. They're known as
the Pert Peties of Peachtree
Street.

Julia Weathers is a famous
movie girl. Her speciality is pos-
ing for calendar pictures. She
best illustrates October where
she stands encased in a tree trunk

Jane Efurd is hilariously happy.

Julianne "Salome" Cook has

ion. Her publicity is managed by
Bobbie Cathcart who gained ex-
perience in spotting stars in As-
tronomy 101.

Harriet Lurton is the only liv-
ing woman still proficient in the
ancient sport of horseback riding.

Nancy Huey has returned to
her first love, cheerleading. Each
year the Auburn team is inspired
to victory with her inimitable
cry of "War eagle".

Nan Johnson is the first Five
Star General of the WAC. Her
Aide-de-Camp is Henrietta John-

As Winnie Pitches

Varsity Edges Faculty, 8-5,
In Softball's Finale of 1949

By Margaret Brewer

Softball fans "took themselves out to the ole ball game"
for the last time this quarter* May 18, when they gathered
to watch the varsity beat the faculty 8 to 5.

There were no peanuts, popcorn, or soft drinks but there

was cracker- jack playing on the diamond that day. Mr.
Frierson hit the first and only
homer for the faculty that would
have made old Casey of "at the
bat" fame envious. Varsity mem-
bers are stil ltalking about
that hit!

Mr. Rogers was another hard
hitting batter, and would have
several homers if that Varsity
third baseman had been more un-
cooperative with her own team.

Spectators almost forgot what
kind of game was being played
when Molly Milam took off for
home. By a series of well-plan-
ned hops and splits, she managed
to come in just ahead of the ball
most of the time. Very novel.

"Pop Quiz" Hays popped some
mean balls both into and out of
the diamond. As pitcher he sent
them coming into the Varsity bat-
ters, and no amount of razzing
could get him rattled he's used
to pitching things at students. At
bat, and at the mercy of the Var-
sity pitcher Winnie Strozier, Mr.
Hays still kept the ball poppin'.

Dr. McCain doubled as time-
keeper and umpire, and Miss Wil-
liams gave him the traditional bad
time.

On the Varsity side Mary Lou-
ise Warlick, with customary gus-
to, knocked her team's first and
only home run. The faculty
scrambled to get the ball back in,
but didn't quite make it.

Another hard hitter and good
runner was Sally Ellis, whose face
making at the bat seems to help
her playing. Marie Cuthbertson
wielded a mighty bat, and Alline
Marshall, with Genie Pascal,
should be awarded first prize for
expert thirty-yard dash form.

Rooting for both "home" teams
was the best crowd yet in soft-
ball's brief history on campus.
Spectators swarmed over the
bleachers and vicinity, on the hill
to the side of the hockey field, out
the library windows; "exec" in
full dress unblushingly hung from
the first floor windows of Butt-
rick.

The game was fast lasted only
75 minutes, and left the students
eager for next year's softball sea-
son to call them "out to the ball
game."

Faculty nine was Mssrs. Calder,
Frierson, Rogers, Strozier, Gar-
ber, Hays and Misses Milam,
Trotter and Williams.

Varsity players were Winnie
Strozier, Barby Lawson, Jenelle
Spear, "Punkie" Chard, Marie
Cuthbertson, Alline Marshall,
Sally Ellis, Genie Pascal and
Mary Louise Warlick.

Sharkey Is
Second Time
Golf Winner

Jane Sharkey defeated Marie
Cuthbertson to retain the Agnes
Scott golf championship for the
second consecutive year.

A member of the East Lake
golf club, Sharkey has been ac-
claimed one of Atlanta's most
promising young golfers for sev-
eral years.

Time Machine Flips Forward

"POP QUIZ" HAYS, as usual, "popping" something at the
students. This time, he is popping a line drive to the out-
field during the Varsity-Faculty softball game which the
students won 8 to 5.

M. Williamson
Wins Singles
In Net Tourney

Martha Williamson, tie-finalist
in last year's tournament, cap-
tured the 1949 school tennis
championship.

She defeated Betty Ziegler 6-4,
6-1 in a two out of three match.

The doubles tourney was not
completed. Martha Williamson
and Nancy Wilkinson were sche-
duled to play Cathie Davis and
Anne Williamson in the finals.
Due to frequent rain and con-
flicting class schedules, the girls
were not able to arrange a time.
