By Calico

The weatherman smiled with
favor on the Agnes Scott campus
Saturday night, giving strings of
Japanese lanterns a helping hand
at the annual reception given by
Student government association
for the faculty and students on
the quadrangle.

The smiles in the receiving line
came from Marjorie Stukes, pres-
ident of Student government; Dr.
James R. McCain, president; Noel
Barnes, president of Mortar
Board; Dr. Wallace M. Alston,
vice president, and Mrs. Alston;
Mrs. S. G. Stukes, wife of the reg-

lime punch and cookies,
offered refreshment to the
guests. Presiding at the tables
were Barbara Brown, Landis Cot-
ton, Sybil Corbett, Ann Herman,
June Carpenter, Betty Cheney,
Carol Jacobs, M. C. Lindsay, Ann
Cooper, and Jenelle Spear.

Freshmen, guided by junior
sponsors,, were introduced to fa-
culty and staff groups gathered
on the quadrangle. Members of
the student body escorted the fa-
culty members. Following the re-
ception on the quadrangle, the fa-
culty met in Murphey Candler
for a faculty reception.

New Gothic Dining Hall Offers
Day Student NoontimeService

By B. J. Sharpe

The Letitia Pate Evans dining hall, which is Agnes Scott's
newest addition to the campus, has been a spot of interest
during opening days. The spacious Gothic edifice adorns the
front campus and has attracted the eyes of many students and
guests.

Now, for the first time, day
students may take advantage of
dining room facilities at Agnes
Scott. For breakfast and dinner
they must make reservations
ahead of time with the dietician
as must all other guests.

The half million dollar build-
ing is equipped with the latest
and most modern facilities, ac-
cording to Dr. James R. McCain,
president. Included among its
rooms are two small dining rooms
for guests and faculty, each seat-
ing fifty persons, a banquet room,
which is located downstairs, seat-
ing two hundred persons, and a
spacious main dining room, seat-
ing five hundred. In addition to
the dining rooms there are six re-
frigeration rooms and a large kit-
chen.

The high arches in the main
dining room serve to add an air
of light and warmth to the sur-
roundings. The side exits from
this main dining room lead to a
stone terrace which will be con-
nected to the Alumnae Garden
with a stone walk, and will be
the center of outdoor parties.

White May Begin
Student Orchestra

A Little Symphony Orchestra,
under the direction of Chappell
White, instructor in music, may
appear on campus this year. Mi-
chael McDowell, professor of mu-
sic, is making tentative plans for
the orchestra, which will also in-
clude players from Emory Univer-
sity.

The orchestra will be used in
the chorus of production 1 ?, such
as operas and operettas.

An addition yet to come is a
large portrait of Mrs. Letitia
Pate Evans, the donor of the
dining hall.

Dedication services will be the
afternoon of Nov. 20, 1950.

Lindsay Arrives At Meeting
With Rules, Polished 'You-all'

By M. C. Lindsay

With "Robert's Rules of Order (Revised)" in one hand and
my "you-all" nicely polished, I arrived in Ann Arbor, Michi-
gan for the Third Annual National Student Association Con-
gress. The days from August 23 to August 31 will always be a
kaleidoscopic blur in my memory, filled with visions of the

Mortar Board
Elects Sullivan
Section Leader

Doris Sullivan, present Alum-
nae representative of Agnes Scott
and former president of Mortar
Board on campus, has been elect-
ed section director of National
Mortar Board Council. She will
complete the unexpired term of
Miss Daisy Parker, who will be ed-
itor of the Mortar Board Quar-

Every three years the Council
elects from among Mortar Board
members new section directors,
whose purpose is to visit the local
chapters in their region, keep them
in touch with the national chapter,
and approve new members. There
are 12 sections, each of which
consists of several states.

In this region the Mortar Board
chapters included are at Agnes
Scott, Birmingham -Southern,
Florida State University, Missis-
sippi State College for Women,
University of Alabama, Univer-
sity of Georgia, and the Univer-
I sitv of Mississippi.

University of Michigan campus;
of the 750 students gathered
there, representing more than 300
schools from all over the United
States; of the huge plenary ses-
sions: of the commission and sub-
commission meetings; of regional
caucuses, in which the Georgia,
Florida, and Alabama schools met
to discuss plans; of students sing-
ing and talking late into the
night or early into the morning.

I attended the commission on
student life and the sub commis-
sion on Student government ad-
ministration and technique. The
sub-commission was further di-
vided into groups according to the
size of the school. We discussed
such problems as day student-
boarder relations, faculty-student
relations, honor systems, atti-
tudes toward Student government
and other similar problems. I was
amazed at the difficulty some
schools have in these matters.
Our problems are universal and
far less acute than those of the
other schools represented. We
can all be proud of our orienta-
tion program it includes all the
features of the ideal program

Whisker Twist

Something new has been added for a new school year. TI12
cat that has made his appearance around campus in the fam-
iliar skits and songs has gotten a new twist in his whiskers
from the plan for the campus day a day during which
classes can play together, can compete without baring teeth.

The plan as presented in chapel this morning will introduce
the freshmen to the college and its activities by giving them
an opportunity to work with, rather than against other mem-
bers of the community. But the new program will have a
larger purpose in including all members of the college com-
munity. The campus day will be what we make it, but the cat
can be not only a symbol that a new class has become a unit,
but that the entire college has reknit itself into a working
whole. C. K.

Work Begins on Science Hall
With Moving of Faculty Homes

The cranes are at it again on the Agnes Scott camus as work
on what will be the college's largest building gets underway.
A $188,000 science hall is being built behind Buttrick and the
little quadrangle. Named for John Bulow Campbell, long a
trustee and chairman of the building and finance committees,
the new building will have about

twice the floor space of the dining
hall.

If construction proceeds on
schedule, the building will be
completed by the opening of next
year's fall session. The biology
department will occupy the first
floor, with the chemistry and
physics departments on the sec-
and third. When this building is
in use, the old science hall will
be torn down to make way for a
new dormitory to replace the
present cottages.

Among the houses moved to
make way for the building were
faculty homes and West Lawn,

phan's home.

Landmarks

Candy Box
Opens to 54

By Helen Land

Lonesome, lassie? Don't be!
You're looking at a big box of
candy with four juicy layers.
You're about to start in on top.
There are so many freshman can-
dies! You'll need a year to digest
them all. And it'll be a swift one.
Tomorrow you'll be a sophomore
and, with smiles of remembrance,
watching the new girls come in.
Then a junior, and wondering how
it is possible that only half of col-
lege lies before you. And a senior
I still can't imagine that. But
you never forget your freshman
year first impressions and stan-
dard memories.

A dark red building. Looks cold.
Is this college? Long halls and
community bathrooms. Will I
ever remember to bring my tooth-
brush? So many unfamiliar faces.
I'll never learn their names. And
which room is English? I'm lost
again.

Then! Atlanta fall with the
bright red-gold trees and hesitant
winds. Saturday noon in Main
with football crysanthemums and
suits impatiently tapping their
feet. Frantic night before the
first English theme is due
Listen to mine and I'll hear yours!
Fraternity dance orchids and
sighs over the Auburn Knights.
The honors announcement cere-
mony and the faculty in multi-
colored robes slowly marching in
to Ancient of Days.

And you've just opened the box.
Take one. It may be a caramel
or a cherry experience, but it's
the first. And there're loads to
come.

Campus Slips

Overheard in the Dean's office:
A certain sophomore brought her
date in and began to introduce him
to "Bebo," who said, "You know
I'm Mrs. Shaw now." After mak-
ing small talk for a few minutes,
the sophomore and her date took
their leave. The boy very politely
said, "Glad to have met you, Mrs.
Shawnow."

All-Star Series Opens Season
With S. Wells Ballet October 9

The presentation, on the All-Star concert series of the Sad-
ler Wells ballet October 9 will begin the season's series of
concerts in Atlanta and vicinity. Besides those offered by
the All-Star series will be the program of the Atlanta Sym-
phony, the American Guild of Organists, and the Atlanta
Music club. |

Following the ballet on the All-
Star series will be the London
Philharmonic orchestra, Kir-
sten F 1 a g s t a d, the Robert
Shaw Chorale, the Houston Sym-
phony orchestra, James Melton,
Artur Rubenstein, and Tossy Spi-
vakovsky.

As guest stars with the Atlanta
symphony will be Rise Stevens,
George Johnson and Walter
Steinhaus, Ruggiero Ricci, Hans-
Karl Piltz, * Vronsky and Babin,
duo-piano team, Hugh Hodgson,
Jan Peerce, Robert Harrison, and
Benno Moiseiwitsch.

The Organ Guild wiD again pre-
sent Virgil Fox in a concert, and
the Atlanta division of the Uni-
versity of Georgia will bring Hel-
en Traubel and Igor Gorin. Mrs.
Lillian R. Gilbreath, part-time in-
structor in music, and Mrs. Irene
L. Harris, instructor in music,
will appear on a Music club pro-
gram in October. Later there will
be concerts by Byron Janis, the
London String quartet, and Ei-
leen Farrell.

Tickets to most of the coming
concerts will be available to Ag-
nes Scott students in the near fu-
ture.

Barineau Selects
New French Books

A new slant was added to the
customary book order for the
French department this year. In-
stead of placing an order by
mail. Miss Elizabeth Barineau, as-
sistant professor of French, ac-
quired the books in person when
she was in Europe this summer.
Most of these books are works of
the 16th century and modern lit-
erature.

Although the greater part of
these books was ordered from
book stores in Paris, Miss Bar-
ineau found several of them in the
little book stalls along the Seine,
just by accident.

The complete works of Mau-
passant, Merimee, Henri de Reg-
nier, Du Bellay, and the plays of
Giraudoux are some of the more
imporant purchases. The authori-
tative critical edition, by G. Lan-
son, of "Les Premieres Medita-
tions of Lamartine was the most
unusual purchase. It was first pub-
lished in 1915 and has been out of
print for many years.

Friendly Welcome Impresses
Girls from For Away Places

By Clairelis Eaton

Andrew Carnegie isn't the only gift from Dunfeelin, Scot-
land. Kathleen Anne Stout has followed in his footsteps which
lead from that city to the United States. A three-months'
"holiday" to visit an aunt in Atlanta has developed into a
year's stay. During that time the blue-eyed lassie will study
at Agnes Scott.

NSA Report

(continued from page 1)
adopted by the sub-sub-commis-
sion ! !

In the larger plenary session,
the Congress voted to affirm the
United Nations stand in Korea
for conciliation and arbitration.
Students urged federal aid for all
schools, and continued to oppose
the hiring and firing of teachers
for their political or religious be-
liefs so long as these beliefs do
not interfere with the teacher's
professional ability. Reports from
the NSA observer-delegation to
the International Union of Stu-
dents, a communist dominated or-
ganization convening in Prague,
resulted in the discontinuation of
cooperative efforts on the part of
NSA.

Al Lowenstein, University of
North Carolina, was elected pres-
ident for the coming year. The
newly elected chairman of the
G.A.F. region is Stewart Macdon-
ald, who is president of the stu-
dent body at the University of
Miami.

The expensive resolution of the
"penny fund," which was a most
effective way of forcing delegates
to be on time to meetings by im-
posing a fine of a penny a minute
for each minute they were late,
unfortunately relieved me of most
of my funds so that I returned to
the sunny South richer in knowl-
edge but poorer in purse.

As a day student, Kathleen
Anne is fast becoming acquaint-
ed with the trolley system, which
she says is strikingly different
from that "at home." Double
decker buses with special con-
ductors to collect fares are the
proper means of transportation
in Scotland. Although Kathleen
Anne admits that the coin boxes
are practical, they are a little
confusing.

"You can't ask them questions,"
she maintains.

The most amazing things to
Kathleen Anne are^ the colored
lights and the great number of au-
tomobiles.

"Of course we have cars in
Scotland, but not nearly so
many," she explains.

She thinks that our campus is
one of the loveliest places she has
seen since her arrival. But more
than the campus itself, the Scot-
tish girl likes the faculty and the
students.

"Everybody is so friendly and
they/ all try to make me feel at
home."

Hailing from Singapore

Sharing this opinion with Kath-
leen Anne is Chor Jee Goh, who
comes from far-off Singapore.
Chor Jee is especially delighted
that everyone is so "nice and
helpful." She is planning a four
year stay at Agnes Scott and has
started her studies with sociology,
music, English, piano, and math.

"I was so surprised to hear
from Dr. McCain, early in 1949.
A friend of mine at Georgia Tech
had asked me to come over to
study, but I didn't see how it was
possible. Some time later I was
in bed with a broken leg, and the

letter offering me a scholarship
arrived." Chor Jee indicated that
her leg didn't hurt much after
that.

Two months ago she started
her trip in which she used many
means of locomotion train, plane,
ship, bus, and her own two feet.
Her travels took her to Hong
Kong, Tokyo, Honolulu, New
York, Chicago, and Hollywood.

Strangest to her seems the
boy-girl relationship. In Singa-
pore boys and girls do not date,
nor do they possess the freedom
which we take for granted here
in America. Families play im-
portant parts in choosing young
people's companions, and Chor
Jee is still not completely sure
how to answer if a boy asks for
a date.

When she returns to Singapore,
Chor Jee intends to go into social
work. The war has destroyed
much, bringing with the actual
physical destruction beri-beri, un-
dernourishment, and tuberculo-
sis "like a plague." Before leav-
ing her home, Chor Jee was active
in church and social work as well
as teaching grammar school.

hibition will be at 4:30 p. m., Mon-

Whirlwind Whimsey

Glance in Campus Closets
Reveals Chic Fall Fashions

By MARTHA FORTSON

Girls, do you have trouble deciding what to wear on different
occasions? Since you probably do, here are some tips on what is chic
this fall in fashions, according to yours truly's survey of trunks and
closets on campus and day students' bedrooms.

I found the most adorable two piece satin suit a lovely teal color
in Ruth Gudmundson's closet. Ruth said the dress was just fine
for the Psi Omega dental fraternity's rush party last week. She also
said that some more gals from Agnes Scott attended the party and
had that "well-dressed" look. Betsy Hodges wore a grey wool dress
with a striped top and plain skirt; Ruth Whiting was present in a black
dress with triangles of black velvet on the skirt; and Helen Land wore
a red crepe dress which featured the new low neckline.

Anne Potts has a smart two-piece grey wool jersey dress in her
closet which would be the last word for a house dance. The dress has
a sweater blouse top with an accordion pleated skirt. While I'm on frat
parties, the ever useful sweater and skirt combination is ideal for bar-
becues according to Helen McGowan, Elizabeth Price, Claire Noblin,
and Kathleen Whitfield who attend the Tech KA party.

Marion Merritt will be the height of fashion in a royal blue dress
which has a tailored top and flared skirt, which she's saving for the
SAE house dance. Across the hall from Marion in Pattie Morgan's
trunk was a smart wine red knit suit. Jane Newland will also look
quite stylish in the new grey wool dress with cumberbund that I
found in her closet. This type dress is particularly desirable since
it can be dressed up or down. Among some of the other outfits which
I found while I snooped about was Taffy Merrill's new charcoal grey
school coat with adorable wooden buttons that fastened in a Chinese
manner. One of the cutest outfits was Mary Anne Wyatt's cherry
velvet strapless dress with a matching velvet jacket. This ensemble
is the last word for semi-formal dances or dressy occasions. Velvet
seems to be the most popular material this fall. Donna Dugger has a
new red velvet coat with three-quarter length sleeves, which is suit-
able for evening or dressy occasions.

Nothing is more exciting than to get a new evening dress, and there
are some lovely ones on campus. Mary Hayes Barber showed me her
new red net strapless, which she wore to the reception on campus last
week-end. The skirt is covered with gold sequins, and the red velvet
bodice has a red net bow at the top to match the skirt. Anne Goolsby
is all ready for those ATO formals. She has a new green evening
dress with a green velvet bodice and a matching taffeta skirt. A large
orange flower on the side of the bodice adds a final touch to the dress.
Peggy Hooker is certainly prepared for the college formals. She has a
fuchsia moray taffeta with narrow shoulder straps. This dress can be
made into a floor length formal by the addition of a blue lace over-
skirt, so that Peggy has two outfits from one dress.

To me the big worry is what to wear to the frat costume balls. If
you get invited to a spooky party just wear a black dress as Anne Miller
and Katharine Loemker wore to the PiKA party. A sweater and skirt
will do for a "bop" party according to Sylvia Williams, Anne Cope,
and Mary Lindsay who attended the Phi Delt "bop" party. The Emory
Sigma Chi's entertained their rushees with a South Seas party. Charity
Bennett, Joan White, Jodie Horne, Shirley Ford, Adelaide Ryall and
Anita Coyne were fashion models in flowered sarongs and south sea
attire.

However, the thing which adds the most to one's costume is a frat
pin. They look good on any outfit or color. Phyllis Galphin is sporting
a KA pin, while Caronelle Smith, Landis Cotten, and Virginia Dunn
have Sigma Chi pins, Nell Floyd a Phi Delt, and Susan Hancock
an ATO.

Concert Inaugurates
Thursday Musicals

Michael M. McDowell, profes-
sor of music, presented a program
of works representative of the
18th, 19th, and 20th century mu-
sicians in a piano recital last
Thursday evening. Included in the
18th century group were "Sicili-
ano," Bach; "Jesu, Joy of Man's
Desiring," Bach-Bouer; and "Ca-
priccio," Scarlotti-Tausig.

Naval Training Course Leaves
Robarts with Military Bearing

By Sally Veale

If you happen to notice an attractive blonde member of the
junior class walking around with perfect military bearing,
chances are she's Seaman (yes, that's what we said!) Helen
Jean Robarts, "graduate" of a naval training course at Great
Lakes, Michigan. Helen Jean, a member of the Organized
Reserve of the WAVES in Atlanta,

The girls went on an all day-
cruise on a destroyer escort, and
here they had an opportunity to
steer the ship, man the guns, and
work the radar. They also learn-
ed to sail the small Navy sailing
and landing craft.

Being in the WAVES isn't all
work, however. There's a lot of
fun involved, too. "When you walk
down the streets of Chicago ev-
erybody looks at you, and some-
times they stop you and talk to
you. . And all the old men and
little boys salute! And then there
are the times we march in dress
review all 150 of us with
1,500 men!"

If you're not quite sure what to
do next summer, may we suggest
that you see Helen Jean ? Helen is
a walking WAVES advertisement,
the most enthusiastic Navy wo-
man you could hope to meet.
The training school will also be
held next summer, either at Great
Lakes or San Diego or Newport,
Rhode Island. "If anybody's think-
ing about the Navy, please send
'em to me!!"

spent a hard but satisfying seven
weeks at the Reserve Officer's
Candidate School. Some 150 col-
lege or graduate women attended,
the number of colleges represented
being 65.

Her schedule was enough to
make one gasp with amazement
that she could go through and still
come out alive. At 6 a. m. they
were aroused from the arms of
Morpheus, and they mustered at
6:01. That's just 60 seconds to
get out of bed and stand in
line ready for roll call. Six hours
of classes followed. Helen Jean
studied naval orientation, naval
correspondence (the Navy, always
distinctive, writes letters in a form
which takes six weeks to learn),
personnel administration, naviga-
tion, and gunnery. The girls nev-
er did any actual firing, but they
did get an opportunity to see 40
mm. and 5 inch, and 38 cal. guns.
In addition to the studying, the
young women drilled for one hour
and had an hour of planned recre-
ation. Taps blew at 9:30.

Dating? "There wasn't any time
for that," said Helen Jean. "But
believe it or not, we didn't miss
men a bit! We were just too busy!"
But don't let that scare you. Helen
Jean added that liberty came ev-
ery week end, and Chicago is only
38 miles away. Needless to say, the
place was empty in a few minutes
after liberty began.

Changes in Athletic Program
Separate Intramurals, Classes

By Anne Brooke

Several changes are being made this year by Athletic
board and the physical education department in an effort to
bring to the campus a better organized program. As always,
the support and participation of the entire Athletic associa-
tion is needed for success. Every freshman, sophomore, ju-
nior, and senior must play her

part.

For the first time all intramu-
ral tournaments will be outside
physical education; this policy has
been adopted by most girls' col-
leges. Regular courses in hockey,
basketball, and softball will be of-
fered; but these will not be used
as team practices. No classes will
be scheduled at 4 and 5 p. m. so
that practices may be at these
times.

Frosh Course

A special course has been de-
signed for all freshmen, and their
classes will be from 12-1 p. m. It
is probable that all who have fin-
ished the required courses will
not have to take scheduled cour-
ses in physical education after
their sophomore year. This two-
year program will leave more
time for extra curricular activi-
ties. A girl who wishes to try out
for the class team, but has not
completed her requirements, must
take a physical education course
and come to regularlv scheduled
practices in the afternoon as an
extra-curricular activity. It is
felt that this system will keep
those from coming out who need
a team sport but are not interest-
ed in the game. Also the girls

will still have an equal chance to
play. On the other hand, the three
lower classes will be confronted
with the responsibility which the
seniors have always had to meet,
that of getting people out for the
team. Dance club and May Day
will follow the same regulations
as the tournaments.

Girls who go out for the teams
will still receive points. Thirty
points will be awarded to any
student who attends a minimum
of three-fourths of the practices.
The managers feel that if a girl
is to participate and be of value
to the group, she should give that
much of her time.

Currie Announces
Hockey Managers,
New Varsity Plan

Kitty Currie, school hockey
manager, has announced the class
managers. These managers are
Liza Pollard, senior; Jane Wind-
ham, junior; Charlene Tritton,
sophomore; and Julia Greer, fresh-
man.

The first hockey practices of
the season were yesterday after-
noon. The first practice game of
the season will be Friday, October
6.

A new plan has been proposed
for the selection of the hockey var-
sity. Each group will choose one
person in addition to the manager
to serve on a varsity council. This
council will watch at the practices
and games in order to determine
those players who will be consid-
ered for the varsity. At the end
of the season, the council will
meet with Kitty Currie, Miss Llew-
ellyn Wilburn, associate professor
of physical education, and Miss
Helena Williams, instructor in
physical education, to make the
final choice.

Tests, Interviews Streamline
Freshman Physical Education

The freshman physical education program has been reor-
ganized. For the first two weeks of the semester, freshmen,
instead of having a physical examination, will be given swim-
ming, dancing, and posture tests. To supplement these tests
they will fill out a questionnaire on their past physical edu-
cation experience. At the end of

the two weeks each girl will have
a private interview with a mem-
ber of the physical education de-
partment at which time she will be
assigned to a class in hockey, danc-
ing, or beginners' swimming. Those
girls who are judged to be suf-
ficiently proficient will be consid-
ered as having fulfilled their swim-
ming and dancing requirements.

One day each week the fresh-
men will have an orientation pro-
gram. During this period they wll
hear talks on social hygiene and
human relationships by Dr. Belle
Miller and Dr. Chester Morse.
Emphasis will be placed on weight

Sports Program Will Begin
Rejuvenated Black Cat Day

By B. J. Sharpe

If you happen to notice any faculty members running across
campus within the next week or so, it may be because there's
that Black Cat spirit in the air and they are limbering up for
the relays between the halves of the hockey game Friday,
October 14. An afternoon of sports will begin the rejuvenated
Black Cat day.

Formerly, Black Cat night has
been presented by the freshman
and sophomore classes, but this
year the faculty and the students
from all four classes will partici-
pate. It is believed that this will
eliminate bitter rivalry often cre-
ated between the frosh and sophs.

The afternoon will begin at 4
p. m. when the classes march onto
the hockey field, where there will
be a band playing. At 4 p. m.
there will be the sports events,
which will include swimming, ar-
chery, and hockey contests. Betty
Zeigler is chairman of the sports
program. Following it will be a
picnic supper for the entire cam-
pus community on the hockey
field, with Sybil Corbett's direct-

ing the buffet procedure.

Beginning the evening program
in the gymnasium will be a song
contest led by Sally Veale. Each
class will sing one original song,
and the frosh will sing one old
song of a general nature. But if
you have been hearing whispered
melodies or echoes of "black cat,"
it's only upperclassmen bringing
back to mind those unforgettable
tunes, for they will present a Black
Cat favorite for their second song.

The evening program will also
include short skits representng
some of the best campus entertain-
ment of last year, a faculty pres-
entation of part of their 1946
show, "Shellbound," directed by
Miss Muriel Harn, professor of
German and Spanish, and a fresh-
man talent show, under the chair-
manship of Eleanor Hutchison. The
talent show should not involve as
much time, work, and rehearsal as
did the former freshman skit.
Mary Hayes Barber is chairman of
the committee planning the even-
ing program.

At the end of the program, the

White Announces
Symphony Tryouts
For AS Musicians

This fall will see the organiza-
tion of a Little Symphony at Ag-
nes Scott. All students who play
violins, violas, cellos, basses,
woodwinds, or brasses, even those
with little experience, are urged
to come to the office of Chappcll
White, instructor of music in 101,
Presser, today and tomorrow,
from 4:30 to 5:30 p. m. and try out.

This orchestra is being planned
instead of the string ensemble of
past years so that string players
can receive a greater variety of ex
perience and to offer the opportun-
ity of playing instruments to a
larger number of people. With a
little symphony orchestra, more
variety can also be offered in the
way of music performed. Practices
for the Little Symphony will be
announced later.

president of the sophomore class
will give the Black Cat to the
freshmen as a good luck token.
After this, everyone will tuck back
into her memory fond recol-
lections of Black Cat and add to
her repertoire another chapter
centered around the faithful little
black kitty which has done so
much for freshman organization
and school spirit.

The general committee, which
was elected during the summer,
and is the group sponsoring the
project, is composed of all the
members of the administrative
council. Co-chairmen are Miss
Llewellyn Wilburn, associate pro-
fessor of physical education, and
Noel Barnes, president of Mortar
Board.

impressive day on the campus, a
day devoted to the emphasis upon
intellectual excellence and fine
scholarship," according to Dr. Wal-
lace M. Alston, vice president.

music on the Agnes Scott campus.
The series of music concerts dur-
ing fall quarter will continue with
a presentation by Michael A. Mc-
Dowell, professor of music, of a

introduce the studnt body to mu-
sic and to give music lovers of the
campus and community alike an
opportunity to develop a famili-
arity with musical literature^ Mr.
McDowell will include in his re-
cital explanatory remarks about
the works he plays. On his pro-
gram will be Beethoven's "Son-
ata, opus 31, number 3," a group

No Midway Position

A central thought for the middle school year of the century,
a thought that calls for more than a midway position in Chris-
tian living, is the Christian association theme for 1950-51
"I would thou wert hot or cold." The challenge facing those of
us on the campus of a church-related college is to over-
come the chill of indifference and the lukewarmness of the
self-righteous feeling we are so prone to have.

There is no place for a person whose beliefs remain in the
passive and abstract form in a day in which events about him
demand quick action to keep pace. Nor is there a place for one
who is so blind as to think that everything he and his fellow
Christians are doing is right. The challenge must be answer-
ed by open defiance of, or whole-hearted loyalty to the ideals
of Christ. C. K.

Landmarks

crusade for Freedom

To have a part in providing "a spiritual lift" to keep the
hope of freedom alive in the hearts of those in Eastern Euro-
pean countries who still have democratic ideals this is the
opportunity offered to the members of the Agnes Scott com-
munity in signing the Freedom Scroll and giving to the Cru-
sade for Freedom.

The scrolls with the signatures of Americans interested in
the Crusade's anti-Communist propaganda campaign will be
put in the base of a solid bronze "freedom bell," symbol of
the Crusade for Freedom. The bell will be placed behind the
Iron Curtain in the western sector of Berlin on United Nations
day, Oct. 24. Boxes for donations to the Crusade for Freedom
are in the mail room and other places in Buttrick. Money will
be used to expand the service of Radio Free Europe, which
broadcasts from near Frankfort, Germany.

This week is the only opportunity to sign for freedom.
Scrolls are on every floor of each dorm and in each cottage.

Dining Room
Spotlight

By Helen Land

"What is it?" Two heads at the
far table lean together and leer.
From the door of the dining hall,
the walk to the cafeteria stretches
hours long. You look around for
"it." Sure enough it's skulking be-
hind, appearing definitely more
mouse than man.

"C'mon," you say, smiling sick-
ly, "nothing to be afraid of." A
giggle starts up at the table
you're passing. Monster windows
are pointing great fingers of light
on the two of you. His shuffle re-
verberates through the sanctuary.
Sanctuary that's it. It's church
and you're late. Everyone present
is staring at you and you attempt
to creep in unobserved. Like a fish
in a glass bowl.

You're almost to the door. Oh no
the hostess and you have
not registered him. Worse, you
haven't a cent with you. He
stands poised for flight if neces-
sary, eyes ahead and up, while
you table-hop seeking change.

You grab his arm and dash in-
to the inner sanctum to food and
relief from the eyes. Tray bal-
anced, you weave again through
the hostile tables to one in a cor-
ner. Shuffling dishes and trays,
the two of you collapse into the
chairs. You try smiling again
this time with more success. "It
wasn't bad, now, was it?"

"Why didn't you tell me I'd be
the only male present?" he
croaks. "You win. It's Emile's
from now on."

The Agnes Scott Newman club,
at its first meeting Sunday, dis-
cussed plans for meetings with the

Troops Reach 38th Parallel;
Spiro Discusses Next Move

By Cissie Spiro

We have reached the thirty-eighth parallel. The United
Nations troops under General Douglas MacArthur are now in
a position to drive the North Koreans out of the area. How-
ever, should we pursue the Communists beyond the border

with our armies, or should our armies stop at the line which
unsuccessfully and artificially di- .

ican soldiers and of the average

Korean citizen who does not even
know what Communism stands for.

If we are neither able nor pre-
pared to feed and clothe the people
above (as well as below) the thir-
ty-eighth parallel, then we have no
right to occupy their country. If
we wait, and enter the area peace-
ably, we might be able to help re-
store and cultivate the poverty-
stricken Korean farms.

We have proved that our forces
are capable of licking the enemy.
We must now r try to avoid the un-
necessary loss of life which will
follow. Korea must be united and
the United Nations will have to
do it; but need we to "fight" the
way?

vided the two areas?

When w r e began to send our
troops to Korea, we claimed that
we were lighting to stop Commun-
ist aggression. Would we be any
more justified to become the ag-
ressor now and enter foreign ter-
ritory? We have retaken the land
which the South Koreans were or-
iginally granted by the United Na-
tions; let us stop now and see if
we can take advantage of our su-
perior military strength as a bar-
gaining power. We ought to see if
we can persuade the Communists
to come to terms while we use our
arms as a threat and nothing else.

We must try to avoid sacrificing
the lives and property of the Amer-

Forman, Bishop Display Work
At New Exhibit of Art Faculty

By Sarah Hancock, '50

The exhibit by the faculty of the art department is a new
attraction on campus. The works of Henry C. Forman, pro-
fessor of art, and of Mrs. Florence S. Bishop, instructor in
art, show originality in both subject matter and technique.

Mr. Forman presents a vivid pictorial review of his recent
summer vacation. The works in

elude scenes taken from his visits
to Mexico, Nantucket, and Europe.
As usual, the colors are bright
and fresh, while the compositions
are well designed. Particularly
interesting is his "Siesta Hour,"
in which the portrayal of the
buildings has been skillfully han-
dled, and the colors, subtly inter-
woven. "West Wind over White-
water" catches for us the For-
mans' island home of this past
summer.

The works of Mrs. Bishop, new
to some on campus, were pleas-
antly received by students and vis-

itors alike at the exhibit opening
Monday afternoon. In general her
works reveal a great deal of sen-
sitivity in feeling and color treat-
ment. Likewise, Mrs. Bishop shows
a wide range in subject matter and
oil technique. Especially outstand-
ing are her poetic works, "Weep
No More My Lady" and Little
One-Eye." Among the works ex-
hibited were also some line draw-
ings and figure studies in water
color.

The exhibit will continue until
October 16 in rooms 320 and 321

'Mademoiselle 7 Board Seeks
Women with 'Flair' as Editors

By Sally Veale

If you have that certain something which makes you a
"smart young woman" (re the cover of each issue), an interest
in fashion, art, merchandising, and promotion, plus a flair
for writing and plenty of imagination and ingenuity, it's time
you tried out for "Mademoiselle's" special college board.
(Sorry we inadvertantly mention- "
ed Mademoiselle's rival "Flair"

but our point is well taken.) If
you can fulfill these qualifications
there's room for you in "Mile's"
New York office, just in case
you're interested and who
wouldn't be?

Last year Agnes Scott was well
represented on the board by three
girls, one of whom was Sally
Jackson, '51. Petite, charming
Sally managed to fit into her busy
schedule the time to fill her try-
out assignments, and if you should
ask her, you'd find she considered
it time well spent. Sally was one
of a group from which 20
girls were selected to be guest
editors. The arrangement this
year will be much the same. Once
an editor, the girls spend the
month of June in New York, edit-
ing the issue which appears the
following August. There's plen-
ty of hard work, but more than
enough fun on the side to make
up for it!

Mademoiselle's purpose in the
college issue is to help young wo-
men try their pre-professional
wings, giving them a chance to
prove themselves in art, writing,
merchandising, and fashion. Con-
test assignments^ composed by
"Mile" editors, give you an idea
about what information, abilities,
and experience a future employer
would expect you to have. De-
signed to help you "develop judg-
ment, test your special talents,
learn the discipline that most peo-
ple get only from actual work-
ing," students match wits with
others who would later be com-
peting in the job market after
graduation. A trial report is first
filed with "Mile.," and if you com-
plete that successfully, you will
be given three additional assign-
ments throughout the college
year. Those twenty who do the
best work on all three assign-
ments will go to New York on

First, my would-be career woman,
you must submit data telling your

Sophomore Council
Invites ASC Frosh
For Emory Dance

There's some fun in store for
the freshmen. The Emory univer-
sity sophomore council has in-
vited the Agnes Scott class of '54
to 'a dance Friday honoring the
Emory frosh.

Barbara Quattlebaum, orienta-
tion chairman, Ruth Vineyard,
chairman of the social committee,
and Marg Hunt, president of Co-
tillion club, are all set to go as
chaperones. And those short
dresses so good for informal
dances will look fine.

A bus will leave Main at 7:30
p. m. and will return at 11:30 p.

here's a chance to add some so-
cial life to the regular routine.

Social Life Begins With Bang;
Frosh Enter College Society

By MARTHA FORTSON

Greetings, gals! The society life on campus has started off with as big
a bang as the academic life. Seems that everyone is all dated up with
rush parties, football games, out-of-town guests, and the like. The
upper classmen are just picking up where they left off last spring,
while the freshmen are making their debut into the college society of
Atlanta Tech and Emory that is.

I've been thumbing through numerous notes on the different rush
parties and it would be utterly impossible to give you a report on all
of them. Here's a first hand note on the Emory Phi Delt's "Klondike"
party. All the gals wore western outfits and were even seen at the
mock gambling tables. Joanne Massee, Barbara Hood, Mary Hood,
Mary Link, Nancy DeArmond, Eloise Eubanks, Bertie Bond, Joann
Wood, Ruth Gudmundson, and yours truly attended. The Tech chapter
of this fraternity was not outdone, for they gave a jam-up shipwreck
party on Friday just ask Lola Purcell, Annelle Simpson, and Jackie
Simmons. Betty Anne Green, Anne Potts, Taffie Merrill, and Kassie
Simmons reported that the Phi Delt hayride Saturday night at Fern's
Farm was also swell.

This note on the Tech ATO party is interesting. Seems the frater-
nity entertained their rushees with a skit about the 12 months of the
year featuring Jeane Junker, Alma Scoggins, Billie Bryan, and Anne
Cope.

The girls in Boyd cottage report that the Tech KA hayride was
great. Miff Martin, Jane Puckett, M. C. Lindsay, Helen McGowan, and
Dot Fincher were entertained by the southern gentlemen at this event.
The Tech SAE's had a "Hell's-A-Poppin' " party for a description
of just what this party was ask Marg Lumpkin, Patricia Cortelyou,
Marilyn Cox, Anne Warren, Martha Weakly, Nena Hale, Sarah Rose,
Sue Purdom, Carol Jones, Gail Simpson, Lucy Doyal, and Nancy
Whitstone. (Half the school turned out for this party.)

More notes Bev Olson, Dot Duckworth, and Susan Hancock rushed
for the Emory ATO's while Nancy Hobbs, Carol Solomon, and Mary
Ripley rushed for the Emory Chi Phi's. Betty Holland and Sue Yar-
brough wore themselves out square dancing at the Tech Delta Tau
Delta's square dance at Snapfinger Farm. And the Tech Beta Theta
Pi's claimed another group at a house dance and a barn dance.

Some gals like Sara Sammonds, Julia Clarke, Catherine Crowe,
and Sybil Corbett had some mighty important out-of-town guests.
There are always some new frat pins and rings being sported around.
Ginnie Feddeman, B. J. Sharpe, Jane Windham, and Mary Charles
Fitzpatrick are flashing lovely engagement rings, while Millie Allison
and Sue Yarbrough have that "I-got-him" look. Millie has a KA pin
and Sue, a Delta Tau Delta.

Seniors Laugh at Tradition
As Hockey Attendance Lags

By Anne Brooke

Hurray for the seniors! It is the senior class, no less, that
so far this fall has had the largest attendance at hockey prac-

to the other classes who have hardly had enough for a team?
There has been much speculation on campus as to what

physical education classes and in-

hope that this is not the answer.
Such a program as we have adopt-
ed has been most successful in
other schools. Remember that
you are Athletic association. A. A.
functions for you, and its program
is successful only in so far as you
give it your support. Come on
you freshmen, sophomores, juniors,
and yes, you seniors too. You know
which girls play hockey. Let's
get them out on the field. And how
about your coming along to give
support. Remember, its your class
too. How about a little spirit?

A. A. Point System
Undergoes Change

The Athletic association point
system has had a partial face-
lifting this year. Though there
will not be tennis outside this
quarter because of the condition
of the courts, there will be ten-
nis indoors a table tennis tourn-
ament for the first time. Each
girl who participates will receive
30 points. The winner will get 50.
Everyone interested may sign up
from Oct. 16-21, and the tourn-
ament will begin Oct. 23.

Other changes in the point sys-
tem are in the class team prac-
tices and games. Those playing
on a team will no longer have to
attend eight consecutive practices
to merit points, but instead, at-
tend three-fourths of the practices
during the quarter. For those who
have and will come out to serve
as scorekeepers and timers will
be a reward of 30 points, after
they have had some training.

IT'S A SMARTY PARTY Honor roll students donned dunce caps and pulled out
suckers for the Smarty Party Mortar Board gave Thursday at lunch.

Thompson Tells Scholar's Place
In Honors Ceremony Speech

"Honors have a rightful and dignified place in college. They
are recognition of excellence in the activities for which col-
leges and universities primarily exist," stated Miss Clara
Mildred Thompson, M. A Ph.D., formerly dean of women at
Vassar College, and now professor of history at the University
of Georgia, at the honors program

Alumnae Announce
End of Tea Room

Several changes have been made
in the use of the Alumnae house
for this year. The tea room, be-
cause there seemed to be no need
for it, has been permanently closed.

The kitchen and small dining
room are still available for small
dinners, teas, or parties, but ar-
rangements must be made for ser-
vants, decorations, and purchase
of food, since there is no kitchen
staff. Reservations may be made
with Mrs. Eloise Ketchin, resident
manager and office assistant, at
DE-1726, between 8:30 a. m.-4:30
p. m. on weekdays and 8:30 a. m.-

Rooms are available for alum-
nae, faculty, and staff guests upon
making reservations with Mrs.

Committies Work to Make
Black Cat Day Successful

By Sylvia Williams

The campus looks forward to a revised edition of Black Cat
Saturday, and four committees are working steadily to make
the entertainment a bang-up success.

Betty Ziegler and her committee of Jenelle Spear, Julie

Cuthbertson, and advisors Miss Helena Williams, instructor

in physical education, and George . _. . . .

barbershop quartet; Blackfriars

will give a scene from "Eastward
in Eden;" selections recalling the
days of "The Net" and Annie Lau-
rie will be the offering of the May
Day and Junior Joint committees.

Mary Hayes Barber and Doris
Sullivan as co-chairmen have made
the many arrangements for the
review. Working with them have
been Mrs. Clay Lewis, assistant
dean, Catherine Crowe, Barbara-
Quattlebaum, Joan Willmon and
Marijean Alexander. Miss Muriel
Harn, professor of German and
Spanish, is the chairman of the
faculty stunt, and Eleanor Hutch-
inson is in charge of the fresh-
men in their first presentation.

The climax of the evening will
come when the sophomores pre-
sent to the freshmen the dearly
familiar black cat.

Campus UN Week Will Begin
In Tuesday Chapel Program

By Charline Tritton

"Today's best hope for peace is the UN plus you!" This is the
slogan which is to grace the coming of United Nations week
to Agnes Scott. The secretariat of the United Nations has set
apart the week of Oct. 16-24 as United Nations week, and the
day Oct. 24 as UN day for the whole world. Groups have been
organized all over Atlanta to as- tion for the United Nations, who

P. Hayes, professor of English,
have arranged a sporting after-
noon for everyone. There is to be
an inter-class archery tournament,
a freshman-sophomore swimming
competition, and a junior-senior
hockey game. Between halves fac-
ulty members will vie for honors
in relay races.

After that full afternoon sche-
dule ,the entire campus will have
fried chicken dinners planned by
Sybil Corbett and her co-work-
ers, Miss Leslie Gaylord, assistant
professor of mathematics, and
Shirley Heath. Buffet dining will
be the style of the evening. As in-
dividual classes are served, faculty
members will select favorite class
groups and sit with them. Girls
from each class will serve as host-
esses.

Next on the agenda will be the
evening's entertainment. Fresh-
men will show their talent along
with upperclassmen and alumnae.
Agnes Scotters will assemble en
masse in the gym, still sitting ar-
cording to classes. Sally Veale,
Caroline Crea, and Miss Florence
Smith, associate professor of his-
tory and political science, are in
charge of the songfest. A gather-
ing of cheerleaders including Ade-
laide Ryall, Bet Linton, Louise
Hertwig, Annelle Simpson, Diane
Morris, Mary Birmingham, Carol
Jones, and Betty Stein will lead
the groups. Alumnae plan to add
to the gala evening with addition-
al songs and dramatic entertain-
ment later on.

Shades of the Past

The main part of the program
will be an array of remembrances
from last year and other years
gone by. The faculty will star in
a classroom scene from Shell-
bound; Mr. Hayes, Paul ( L. Gar-
ber, professor of Bible, Michael A.
McDowell, professor of music, and
Raymond J. Martin, associate pro-
fessor of music, will make up a

sist in "putting over" UN week.

Our own part of United Nations
week will be a program in chapel
Tuesday. The service, which is
under the auspices of Christian
association, will be opened by Nor-
ma Wang; and Cissie Spiro, who
served as a member of the col-
legiate group of the United Na-
tions, will be the main speaker."
There will also be a display of
United Nations material on the
campus.

The climax of the whole
week will be United Nations day.
This day officially begins on the
evening of Oct. 23 and will be in-
itiated by Clark Eichelberger, di-
rector of the American Associa-

Garber Announces
Wright to Lecture

A new model reconstruction of
Solomon's Temple, based on the
latest archaeological research, will
be unveiled October 17 on the
third floor of Buttrick hall.

Built by E. G. Howland of Troy,
Ohio, from data assembled by-
Paul L. Garber, professor of Bi-
ble, the model is believed by its
makers to be the best replica yet
designed to show Biblical students
what the Temple of Solomon ac-
tually looked like.

Dr. George Ernest Wright of
McCormick Theological Seminary,
Chicago, editor of "The Biblical
Archaeologist," will speak in
Gaines Chapel at 8 p. m., immedi-
ately preceding the unveiling. The
entre campus community is in-
vited to the lecture and to the

Why Not Join?

A couple of Sundays ago one of the Protestant denomina-
tions on campus sponsored a campaign urging its students to
join the church at college. Back of this campaign were some
good reasons that students from each denomination should
consider.

To begin with, the college student will live in this commun-
ity for nine months out of the 12, and it goes without saying
that she cannot attend her home church. Some say it's a
lot of trouble to move their membership when they are not
to live in a place permanently, but in this light, why join
clubs or social organizations when actually these are little
different from those that held your membership at home? The
student may say that she needs the fellowship of the social
organizations while in college. But how much more does she
need the influence of Christian friends and Christian leaders
at a time when she has been placed completely on her own and
must make the decisions for herself that will play a big part
in making or breaking her future life.

Besides the fact that the Scripture mentions but one kind of
church relationship, that of outright church membership, a
student cannot become a part of the church organization or
contribute anything to it unless she goes all the way in her
contact with the church.

No one wants to be known as a "church tramp" or a "spiritu-
al derelict," but actually this is what a perennial visitor
amounts to. Just as you can never feel at home in an organiza-
tion or group until you are considered a part of that group,
you can never feel at home in a church until you are a definite
part of that church.

Only three weeks of school have passed and there is still
time for some good decisions, decisions that may affect your
future. Habits and grooves are taking their permanent shape.
A sign that met the eyes of the early pioneers as they made
their way westward said, "Choose your ruts well. You'll be in
them for the next hundred miles." Get the church-going habit
now you'll be in for the rest of your life. M. A. J.

Hats Off to a Cat!

"Curiosity killed the cat." How many of us, simply because
we have heard it so often, believe the implication of this old
saying? Are you ashamed, reluctant to admit that you have
curiosity?

Curiosity, like most things, can be carried to extremes.
Somewhere along the line of life since our childhood, how-
ever, we seem to have acquired a desire to crush our natural
curiosity. This attitude is just as foolish as retaining the
"who, what, why" routine of children. Without curiosity we
have no real urge to learn. Our interest fields could be
broadened considerably with a little yielding to curiosity
and the exploratory sense.

Too much curiosity can be annoying and defeating; but we
must never quell the curious aspect of our nature, which
seeks to know the "why" and "wherefore" of life for only
by seeking do we acquire a part of the answer. A. B.

Its Night Time

In a Cottage

By Helen Land

"No te ars, No-ooo fe ars . . . We'll be together again!"
A minor crash and "oh, no! Someone catch the record player."
A be-slipped, be-soaped, and be-spattered form hangs out of
the bathroom.

"Ann's washing her hair again. Get out the life-rafts, girls,

the flood's descending." Eyes peer

over horn-rimmed glasses and the
latest Charm. "This cottage life
is down right dangerous."

"Agreed," a chuckle from the
hall. " 'Specially when I stumble
from my room in total darkness
right into your clothes rack to
tangle with a million unmention-
ables." Hair and pajamas rolled
up, the chuckler scatters dust
down the hall with an energetic
broom.

The back door bangs. "Girls!
The most wonderful thing! Joe
called from Greenville and he
wants me to meet him in Athens
for the Carolina game! . . . ugh!

Turbaned in a towel, Ann en-

great the game, I mean. Are you
going?"

"Yes; got to call him back. Com-
plete quiet, please." She plops
upon the telephone table.

"Time for coffee ten o'clock,"
a voice sings out from the end of
the hall.

"Sh-h-h-h!"

"Sorry. Water's on. C'mon down
when you're ready."

"Great! I'm ravenous. Anybody
got some cookies?" Head bent
over knitting, a white flannel
nightgown shuffles out.

"I've got to finish the 'Vita

"Are you mad? For heaven's
sake, quit trying to appreciate that

"Quiet, please," frantically.

A door opens. "... and if he

Look at Georgia

'County Unit System Outdated/
Asserts Spiro in Denunciation

By Cissie Spiro

Georgians now have a chance to register their disapproval
of the county unit system. At the present time the county
unit system is used only for the state democratic primary,
but Governor Herman Talmadge now wishes to extend its
use to the general elections.

Last Saturday Governor Tal-
madge tried to answer the charges
which had been 'hurled against
him by the "Atlanta civil rights
crowd" when he suggested that
the county unit system be expand-
ed. The governor insisted that
Georgia was not the only state
whiclh uses that system; there is
another state two in all of the
48. Yes, Maryland and Georgia
share the honor of having this
backward form of voting which
keeps the city folk down and per-
mits the less educated people in
the rural areas to run the state
government.

At it now stands, 34 votes in
Fulton county, the county with
perhaps the highest educational
levels in the state, equal one vote
in Echols county. However, Tal-
madge claims that "Atlanta lives
off the rest of the state" anyhow,
and just because it pays the high-
est percentage of taxes it deserves
nothing more than a few benefits

which it is supposedly already re-
ceiving. The "liberal" Atlantans
seem to be too interested in rais-
ing the level of ALL of the state
citizens, so the Governor feels that
it is best to keep their votes in-
significant.

Opponents of the extension of
this system claim that it would
deter the formation of a two party
system within the state as the
Republicans would never be able
to see a chance of victory. The
chief executive denies this and
says that no matter how the votes
are counted the Republicans stand
as good a chance as the Democrats
do. Every state needs a two-party
system to keep it alive and pro-
gressive. The Republican party
became active in this state during
the last presidential election; let
us not destroy their work by let-
ting the unit system reach the
general elections.

The United States Supreme
Court has twice held that the unit

with sophomore contacts gradu-
ated! A 'Like ta Hava Data' club
with compulsory membership is
in order if things don't liven up."
A bottle of calamine lotion is
raised threateningly.

'Y'all please. What? No, oper-
ator. This is not Harry's just
one long houseparty!"

Church Calls

The Episcopalians elected Rene
Dudney, president, and Vivian
Weaver, vice president, at the
meeting last week. Jackie Pharr,
secretary-treasurer, was elected
last spring.

Methodists, in addition to their
regular chapel meetings, are plan-
ning two special meetings. They
will have a speaker on Methodism
at the first and a study of one of
the four Gospels at the second.
As a project the group plans to
help Amy Jones, Christian asso-
ciation chairman of children's par-
ties, with her work at the chil-
dren's home.

The Westminister Fellowship,

tertain the Emory Westminister

Frosh Don Finery For Dance
As Sophs Entertain at Emory

By MARTHA FORTSON

Metallic gold blouses, irridescent taffetas, satins, velvets, and silks
rustled as the frosh stepped out in all their finery last Friday night.
The Emory sophomores sponsored a dance for the Emory frosh to get
acquainted with the Agnes Scott frosh. The party was in the Alumni
house on the Emory campus. Dancing took place in the spacious
dance hall, television was provided for the less active frosh in Dooley's
Den, and a most unusual "art exhibit" was in the adjoining rooms..

While the freshmen were actively entertaining the Emory boys, the
upper classmen did their part for the Tech boys' final rush week.
Some of the upper classmen were not as dressed up as the frosh; for
Lola Pure-ell, Frances Summerville, Ann Boyer, Jane Newland, Adele
Thompson and Marilyn Michie attended the Tech Phi Delt pajama
party in night shirts and the like. This frat house was decorated
like a boys' dorm on Friday night* and on Saturday was fixed for a
Bowery Ball. Katheryn Amick, Ann Potts, June Carpenter, and
Kassie Simmons attended this ball in tight skirts, low neck blouses,
and loads of jewelry. Good old blue jeans were the style on the Pi
Kappa Phi hayride last Saturday night for June Smith, Tibby King,
Nancy Cassin and Marianela Segura.

Agnes Scoffers Keep Rush Week Rolling

Rush week rolls on with more and more various kinds of parties.
Susan Dodson, Lilla Kate Parramore, and Flo Kibler rushed for the
Tech ATO brothers at a barbecue on Saturday night while Mary Bir-
mingham, Mary Ann Garrard, and Ellen Hunter rushed at a ship-
wreck party on Friday night. These girls were seeing to it that the
Tech ATO's did as good as the Emory brothers with their rushing. In
case you haven't gotten the word it seems that SAE, ATO, and KA
lead the row with the most rushees at Emory.

The usual large number of gals attended the Tech SAE parties.
Martha Weakley, Jane Williams, Anne Potts, Jane Hook, Ann Baxter,
Margaret Walker, Julie Clark, Barbara West, and Rosalyn Kennedy
went to the frat's party at Fritz Orr's last Friday night. Adaline
Miller and Martha Norton danced under the stars at the SAE formal
on the terrace Saturday night. Louise Ross, Doris Clingman, Mary
Ann Wyatt, Patty Morgan, and M. C. Lindsay danced below ye-ole
Confederate flag at the Tech KA's shipwreck party last Friday night.
Anne Bottoms, Carolyn Holtney, and Catherine Redles also reported
that the KA barbecue on Saturday night was swell. Mary Stubbs,
Janette Mattox, and Jane La Master attended the Lambda Chi parties
this week-end a gambling party Friday and a hayride Saturday.
Last, but not least, Dot Hardin, and Kay Krauth were dressed in the
style of the roaring twenties for a Flapper party at the Tech Delta
Tau Delta house Friday night.

Wedding-Bound Belles Call for Classmates

Wedding bells are in the air as always. Jeane Junker, Katherine
Gentry, and Gwen Johnson went to Patsy Williams' wedding in
Sumter, S. C. Jeane was a bridesmaid, and Katherine and Gwen served
at the reception. Billie Bryan and Nancy De Armond went home
to be in a wedding also. Marjorie Orr is planning for wedding bells.
She got a lovely ring last Thursday at noon. "Country" Smith has
the same idea she also has a ring. Betty McClellan, Noel Barnes,
Louise Jett, and Marijean Alexander have pins.

Football season is in full swing. Ellie McCarty, LaWahna Rigdon,
Kitty Currie, ,and Margaret Inman went to Athens to see the Georgia-
North Carolina game. Ruth Mallette, Barbara Greer, Helen Huie,
Betty Williams, and Anne McLeod saw the Yellow Jackets in action.
Joanne Pickell went to the Clemson game.

While the football game and rush parties furnished swell enter-
tainment, there's nothing like the Fair. Nell Floyd, Shirley Ford,
Ginnie Brewer, and Anne Goolsby had a good time riding the ferris
wheel and roller-coaster along with eating cotton candy, peanuts, and
popcorn.

Students Will Elect
Beauties in Chapel

The Silhouette has begun its
campaigning for beauties. Monday
in class meetings each class nom-
inated 10 candidates for the Sil-
houette's beauty section. B. J.
Poster, editor of the annual, stated
that Thursday, Oct. 19, in student
meeting the entire student body
will elect, from the 40 candidates,
20 girls whose pictures will ap-
pear in this feature section.

The entire Silhouette staff will
choose a judge to whom the pho-
tographs will be sent, and he will
choose the seven most beautiful
girls. Mr. Hawthorne, a Decatur
photographer, will make all the
pictures.

And for everyone, beautiful or
not, don't forget that Friday is
the deadline for having class pic-
tures for the annual made.

"Study isn't everything," said
Dr. Thompson. The making of
friends, sports, dramatics, rushing
and being rushed all these are
an important part of student life.
But study counts for a great deal.
"The business of a student is to
study . . . And in our business of
studying, we study man his life,
man as an individual, and man in
society. We follow his progress
from the primitive to civilization.
. . . The things that we know have
their center in man because he is
the learner." In addition to the
raw materials of study, however,
the student must have freedom of
the mind. Today freedom of the
mind is a matter of political,
economic, and social importance."
Dr. Thompson declared that the
business of having teachers sign
pledges that they were in no way
engaged in subversive activity is
"dead foolish!" Nevertheless, we
must have freedom in our colleges,
and it is certainly true that a Com-
munist doesn't have a free mind
with which to explore.

Well House Becomes Office
As Godard Comes to Campus

By Clairelis Eaton

The little round house is in a process of evolution. Fifty
years ago, no one would have imagined that the well house
would someday give up its functions to modern water works
and would become a meeting house for small groups. Neither
did these small groups dream that the benches would soon be
shelves for important books and

papers and that the bare windows
and walls would be decked with
curtains and pictures. But that's
exactly what has happened.

In the process of campus ex-
pansion and modernization, the
little round house 'has not been for-
gotten. If you want to see what
ingenuity and hard work can do,
just go look at the swivel chair,
the desks, the file cabinets, the
typewriter, the telephone, and
most striking of all, the bright
red curtains and seat covers which
have transformed the wooden
structure into a relatively modern
office building (even though there
is only one office).

Since August 1, Dr. J. M. God-
ard, executive secretary of the
Southern Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools, has made
Agnes Scott's former well house
his business address. Dr. Godard
finds it necessary to travel through
the 11 southern states whose
sc'hools comprise the association,
in order to evaluate schools ap-
plying for admission and inspect
those who are members, conse-
quently he needed a "base of op-
erations." His secretary, attrac-

UN Day

(Continued from page 1)

will speak at Emory that evening.
The purpose of United Nations
week as a whole is to make the
people of the world aware of what
the UN is doing.

This week is important because
it is the means of letting our world
know that the United Nations is
the organization through which it
must work to achieve peace.

tive Miss Kitty Reiley, a native of
Decatur and a University of Geor-
gia graduate, said, "Dr. Godard
was looking for an office when
Dr. McCain offered him the house.
We really like it, especially since
the location is so nice. Dr. God-
ard wanted something centrally
located, but he didn't want to go to
downtown Atlanta."

The little round house seemed to
be the perfect answer, and it did
not take much time to make it
look like a charming place in
which to work. Everyone pitched
in and helped. , Dr. Godard, who
began the work last year after
having served as dean of Queen's
College for a number of years,
took the measurements of the
windows. Mrs. Godard made the
curtains; Southern Bell Telephone
installed the phone, and the desks
and typewriters arrived in very
little time. Everything is running
smoothly, so go down and have
a look.

Music Students to Play
In Friday Chapel Program

Friday is the day for the first
student musical chapel progTam of
the school year. Organ and piano
students of Michael A. McDowell,
professor of music, and Raymond
J. Martin, associate professor of
music, will play. Charlotte Key
will play two numbers by Bach,
"Adagio" from the first concerto,
and the choral, "Ich Rufzu Dir;"
while Charlotte Allsmiller will
play the "Adagio" from Mendels-
sohn's sixth organ sonata. Margie
Stakes' number will be Boell-
mann's "Priere a Notre Dame"
from the "Suite Gothique," and
Joann Wood will close the pro-
gram with a piano number by De-
Bussy, "Arabesque, no. 2."

Sticking Out!

Catch Up on Hockey Rules
Before Tournament Begins

By Calico

Hockey? Oh yes! That's the game they play out on the
field behind the library. I've seen the girls running around
out there with those funny guards on their legs. They hit
a little white ball with a stick, don't they?

You may be amazed that anyone could live on the Agnes

Scott campus and know so little I ,

, . J , . , ,. ... ^ hitting into opponents dangerous-
about hockey, but believe it or . . s

ly, obstructing (allowing body to

interfere with the other player),

and raising the stick above

not that was the extent of my
knowledge until today. With the
hockey season's opening on Sat-
urday, I decided I ought to do
some last minute cramming, so I
sat down with a rule book. Here's
what I found.

Object to score through the
opponents' goal posts. Time 20-
minute halves (the official time is
35 minutes, but only the more ex-
perienced players use this).

Position a team is composed
of eleven players; five forwards,
three halfbacks, two fullbacks,
and one goalie. The forward line
plays up ahead of the defense
which follows. The goalie remains
near the goal within the striking
circle. To start game there is a
bully in the center of the field.
The ball is placed on the ground
between the two centers who hit
the ground, their opponents stick
three times, and then the ball.

When the ball goes over the side
lines, it is rolled in by the team
which was not responsible for
sending it out. When it goes over
the end line, it is either taken to
the 25 line and bullied, or a cor-
ner is given. Some fouls are: loft-
ing the ball dangerously in the air,

there may be a free hit for the
other team unless the foul is made
in the striking circle. When the
defending team is within the strik-
ing circle at the time of the foul,
a penalty corner is given.

As for strokes, it is not always

Archery Club
Reveals Plans

Archery club tryouts will be
Oct. 16, 18, 23, and 25, from 4-6
p. m. All sophomores, juniors, and
seniors are eligible for member-

consisting of four ends from 40,
30, and 20 feet, or a Columbia
Round, consisting of four ends
from 50, 40, and 30 feet, will be
required, depending on the exper-
ience of the individuals.

In November there will be two
archery tournaments for club
members. From Oct. 30-Nov. 8,
the participants will shoot in part-
ners. Each pair will be made up
of a beginner, who will shoot four
ends from 30 feet and an advanced
student, who will shoot four ends
from 40 feet. The second, an in-
dividual tournament to be from
Nov. 13-30, will include Columbia
Rounds and Junior Columbia
Rounds.

The new archery class managers
have been announced by Freddie
Hachtel, school representative.
They are Gwyn Davies, freshman;

CA's '54 Club to Begin Year
Tomorrow in Murphey Candler

Many Agnes Scotters were introduced to one "Club '54" at
the Black Cat program Saturday. This week Christian asso-

The club is really the special C. A. for freshmen.

The meetings this year will be at 5 p. m. in Murphey Cand-
ler Tuesday afternoon and are
open to all freshmen. Because of
the activities involved with the
dedication of Solomon's Temple
under the direction of Paul L.
Gartoer, professor of Bible, yester-
day, the first meeting of the club
will be tomorrow afternoon this
week in Murphey Candler.

Anna DaVault, freshman advis-
or, will lead a discussion on the
club, its purposes, and its plans.
There will be an informal party
afterwards.

Lecture Association Will Bring
Copland to Campus October 26

By Kassie Simmons

Aaron Copland, distinguished American composer, pianist,
and lecturer, will open the series of lectures sponsored this
season by the Public Lectfare association. He will speak
Thursday, Oct. 26, at 8:30 p. m. in Gaines auditorium. His
subject, "Appreciation of Contemporary Music," is designed
to help the campus community an-

swer the much discussed question,
"Do you like modern music?"

Music lovers will recall that
Aaron Copland has won most of the
honors open to musicians. Theses
include the Hollywood Oscar for
his musical score of the film "The
Heiress" as well as the Pulitzer
prize and the New York Music
Critics' award for the score of the
ballet "Appalachian Spring," in
which Martha Graham danced. In
addition, Mr. Copland has been
awarded $5,000 from RCA Victor
for his Dance Symphony and is the
first composer to receive the Gug-
genheim Fellowship.

His compositions are varied, in-
cluding work for orchestra, violin,
piano, and band, and choral music.

They are also in constant demand,
as Mr. Copland continues to com-
pose for Paul Whiteman, Andre
Kostelanetz, the Columbia ^Broad-
casting company, Ballet Russe de
Monte Carlo, and the Koussevit-
sky Music foundation.

Mr. Copland*is not only famous
in the United States, but is well-
known in the Latin American
countries, which he toured as lec-
turer, conductor, and pianist. He
has also written two books entitled
"What to Listen For in Music"
and "Our New Music," and has
served as president and director of
numerous musical organizations.

The college community and
friends are invited to attend the
lecture.

Friend?" Later in the quarter
officers will be elected, there will
be a party at the home of Miss
Carrie Scandrett, dean, and '54
club will be in charge of the ves-
per service Thanksgiving evening.

'54 club offers for freshmen the
opportunity to participate in the
activities of C. A. through an or-
ganization made up entirely of
their classmates.

Journalism Department
Will Have Open House

The Journalism department of
Emory university will hold its an-
nual open house fonight at 7:30
p. m.

To be in Alumni Memorial build-
ing, the open house will include a
receiving line of the faculty, spe-
cial entertainment by the Radio
Workshop, and, best of all, food.

Transportation and chaperons
will be provided, if needed, as all
Agnes Scott students interested
in taking journalism are invited.

Two Sophs Attend
Meeting at Smyrna

Ann Cooper and Connie Byrd
represented Agnes Scott at the
state conference of YMCA-YWCA
at Camp Highland near Smyrna,
Ga., last weekend. Both girls are
sophomores.

The theme of the Conference
was "What Doth God Require of
Thee?" The main speaker was
Henry E. Horn, pastor of the Lu-
theran Church of the Resurrection
fn Augusta, Ga.

This Highlands Conference is
a cooperative project of Christian
groups on Georgia college cam-
puses. The YMCA, the YWCA,
and Christian associations of
Georgia carry on the work of this
annual conference from season to
season.

A "much closer approach to the original Solomonic temple
than any model or drawing yet made " says Dr. William F.
Albright, professor of Semitics at Johns Hopkins University,
about Agnes Scott's temple scale model, which was unveiled
last night in 321 Buttrick hall.

The temple is a climax of four

and a half years of extensive work
by Paul Leslie Garber, professor
of Bible. Mr. Garber has long
hoped for a special display of a
central picture of Christ with ar-
chitectural evidence of Judaism on
one side and paganism On the
other for his classroom. He has
had a picture of the Temple of Di-
ana at Ephesus, but there were no
satisfactory drawings or models of
Solomon's temple at Jerusalem
available.

Because of Mr. Garber's work
and such things as a notice in his
morning mail from E. G. Howland
of Troy, Ohio, stating a desire to
do construction for the purpose of
visual education in Bible; an ar-
ticle written by last night's speak-
er, Dr. George Ernest Wright of
the McCormick Theological Sem-
inary in Chicago; and later, when
the construction seemed impossible
because of the high cost, an offer
of all materials and labor for the
task by Mr. Howland; the consruc-
tion is finished.

Biblical Archaeologist

Dr. Wright, said by Dr. R. H.
Pfeiffer of Harvard University to
be one of the leading Bibical ar-
chaeologists of the world, came to
the campus on the University Cen-
ter's program of visiting scholars.
He received his training under Dr.
Albright, who was here in 1947
for the Bible lectures. Dr. Wright,
who spoke last night on "The Sig-
nificance of the Temple in the
Ancient Near East," is also speak-
ing at Columbia Theological Sem-
inary, Emory University, and Gam-
mon Theological Seminary.

The model is 78 inches long, 45
inches wide, and 38 inches high; an
exact scale model of one-fourth

inch to the foot. It will be on ex-
hibition in room 321 Buttrick un-
til Nov. 1, after which it will be at
Agnes Scott for teaching purposes.

Dr. Nelson Glueck, Dr. Wright's
teacher in Jerusalem, wrote of the
temple project of Mr. Garber: "I
know of no such project which has
been furthered with more scien-
tific accuracy and research, and
with more care and devotion than
this one."

CA Plans Course
For Scout Leaders

For those girls who are tired of
studying all the time, Christian
association offers some other way
to spend a little time during that
midweek scurry a Scout lead-
ership course. The course is open

The course will 'begin Oct. 24,

and will continue for three weeks
on each Tuesday and Thursday
night.

Miss Dorothy Kirkpatrick, from
the Atlanta Girl Scout office, will
teach the course, which will in-
clude not only Girl Scout pro-
grams, but also games and sports
suitable for any party or get-to-
gether. There wil lalso be instruc-
tions for leadership with children.

On Nov. 11, there will be a cook-
out at the Girl Scout camp, Civ-
itania, not far from Atlanta.

At the end of the three-week
course, certificates will be award-
ed. This will qualify each partic-
ipant for troop leadership. Those
who are interested should see Mat-
tie Hart. I

Immaturity Shows

Accepting responsibility is the characteristic of human de-
velopment which marks woman as adult. When a person
reaches a certain stage, she must either accept responsibility
and grow to a full maturity, or reject it and slide through
the rest of life insipidly clutching to someone else's coattail.

We are here at Agnes Scott to develop ourselves, we say,
and yet many of us take no responsibility whatsoever in our
college community. There are members in every club who
join simply to add another point to their cherished collections.
Too many organizations on campus are mere skeletons of a
few interested members who exhaust themselves persuading
the others to come to meetings, to participate in a club they
once enthusiastically joined. If they joined sincerely why do
they not carry on some sort of sincerity of purpose?

Day camp, Scottish Rite, Negro mission and other groups
which could constantly be of great service to Decatur and to
Atlanta sometimes lag behind in their duties because once
enthusiastic volunteers cannot seem to find the time they
promised to devote to the work. Leaders of the groups are
often viewed as ogres forcing one into what she has promised.
Does anyone ever stop to think of the energy group chair
men waste on getting members together when it could be
spent on getting the group in working order and on formulat
ing and carrying out ideas for important projects?

Plain indifference is abominable and even more so if it is
two-faced indifference. S. W.

Black Cat Sports 'New Look'
While Class Spirit Runs High

By Ann Boyer

Black Cat has that "new look/' and it seems to be a great
success. Spirit was running high all Saturday afternoon and
night, without the traditional weary, work-worn, we'd-better-
win-after-all-the-work-I've-done look.

Black Cat day officially began at 4 p. m. with the hockey
game between the junior and sen

ior classes. However, spirit was
shown before this as the classes
marched to the field with songs
and cheers. The "girls of the
junior chorus" were trailing the
ancient, black-robed seniors 2-1
at the half. Faculty and students
participated in relays between
halves.

The second half of the hockey
game then began, ending in a 3-1
victory by the seniors. Next on
the agenda were simultaneous ar-
chery and swimming meets. Betty
Phillips and Camille Watson,
shooting for the juniors, defeated
the senior team. The sophomore
swimming team defeated the
frosh with 45 points to 24.

Following the picnic supper on
the hockey field, at which each
class Aad a table with class mem-
bers as waitresses in purple and
white aprons, the evening program
began in the gym.

The faculty quartet of Paul
Leslie Garber, professor of Bible,
Michael A. McDowell, professor
of music, George P. Hayes, pro-
fessor of English, and Raymond
Martin, associate professor of mu-
sic, opened the program with "See-
ing Nellie Home," followed by
"Goodnight, Irene" by popular de-
mand.

Winner of the song contest was
the junior class, while the sopho-
mores came in in second place. Im-
mediately following the contest,
the "old girls" sang several songs
in praise of Agnes Scott, punctu-
ating high points in the music by
waving a purple and white banner
in front of their middy blouses
and ties.

Old Grad Narrator

Reese Newton, class of '49, was
narrator for the revue. The fresh-
man talent show, "Club 54," prov-
ed to all that this year's class has
plenty to add to Agnes Scott! A
dance to "Jalouise" by Dot
Fincher, a Scottish skit and dance
by Kathleen Stout, "Spaghetti
Rag" mimic by Valeria Burnet
these were highlights of a floor
show led by emcee Joan Simmons.

From the past there came piano
selections by Sally Veale and Jane
Windham, juniors, the crabs from
May Day's "The Net," the sopho-
more's winning skit "Macbeth,"
from Junior joint, and a dance
from "The Rape of the Lock,"
Dance club production. Ed Mal-
lory sang "Shortnin' Bread." The
revue closed hilariously with a
repeat performance of the faculty
skit "Shellbound."

The little Black Cat, long a sym-
bol of fun and frolic for all classes,
as well^as a "welcome" sign for
freshmen, now will reign in In-
man hall until next year, when it
will be presented to the incoming
freshmen at Agnes Scott.

Landmarks

A Dying

Year

By Helen Land

Fall. It has come with gray
diffusion. Dampness rises from
the earth on your way to break-
fast. Treacherous return of sum-
mer at noon briefly taunts you.
And then the long shadows, the
cold forms, quivering against the
pavement as you trudge home
from the library at five . . .

Are you dying, world? And
what of us? Your deathbed wakes
night-loneliness within us. A
chill, forever restless, paces there.

Then morning. Can death be
gay? For funeral you have cho-
sen gold and red. All the leaves
are dressing for descent. The sun-
light in electric blue falls be-
tween the leaves and dashes to
pieces on the walk. A wind fears
to be tardy and rushes by, tossing
a splendid robe.

Two saplings bend to light the
funeral pyre. Burn, Autumn. We
will watch the gold-red embers
dance and die.

We should be proud of our back campus at Agnes Scott
the quadrangle with its orderly patchwork of red brick walls
on a background of well-kept green. And we should be proud
of the front campus, too, with the long walk flanked by
grass and trees.

But at this moment, it seems that it will not be long until
the quadrangle and not only the quadrangle will add to its
design of red and green, a few crooked brown paths.

Not being decorators or landscapes gardeners, we can't be
authorities on how it would look. Surely we agree, though,
that the brown paths do not fit into the scheme color or
otherwise. And the 30 seconds we may lose by going
where the walks have seen fit to go cannot be a life and death
matter. C. K.

Thirty Minutes Well Spent

Sunday evening vespers, is our only Sunday service for the
college community. It should be a half hour of fellowship and
inspiration. For this reason, Christian association has changed
the time of vespers from Sunday night to 5:15 Sunday even-
ing. In this way the service does not interfere with afternoon
activity, supper, or Sunday night church. As a campus com-
munity, let us take advantage of this thirty minutes in Mac-
lean chapel for worship together. H. L.

Pleasant Weekend Thoughts
Interrupt Loads of Studying

By MARTHA FORTSON

Hi gals, maybe you feel like I do there's a book to be read by
Monday, a test on Friday, lab on Thursday, loads of education to be
read, and no date Saturday night. There's just no hope! Why don't
I wade in and start studying? Well, I'm the type who sits around and
frets, leaving everything to the last minute. If you've gotten to this
state of mind, just lean back in your chair and let's do a little morale
building by thinking of last weekend which was oh so pleasant! There
was that wonderful ATO housedance over at Emory. You couldn't
dance for bumping into people, but it was fun just ask Jeane Junker,
Jinnie Brewer, Dot Duckworth, Barbara Stainton, Anne Potts, Louise
Hertwig, Betty Moyer, Adelaide Ryall, and Anne Goolsby. You could
hardly move last Sunday morning after an evening of too much vig-
orous dancing at the SAE's barn dance at Wall's Farms. This was the
case of Nancy Whetstone, Virginia Clift, Caroline Lester, Mary Ann
Wyatt, Ann (Dalton) Jones, Kathryn Amick, Frances Cook, Carol Ed-
Wards, Gayle Harbour, Peggy Harper, and Betsy Hodges.

Oh! that soft music with a boogie record here and there and that
adorable Tech boy made the Chi Phi party a complete success what
say Martha Norton and Doris Clingman? The same old characteristics
of KA parties "Dixie," Confederate flags, and southern gentle-
men (?) were present at both the Tech and Emory chapters parties.
Jane Newland and Jane Hook went to the Tech KA's house dance
Saturday night, while Betty Anne Green and Frances Summerville
went to Emory Saturday night.

Sigma Chi's Go South American

You might have seen Anne Herman, Florence Worthy, Winnie Stro-
zier, Joan White, Mary Hayes Barber, Ellen Prouty, Connie Jacob,
Jenny Floyd, Mary Lou Kleppinger, and Flo Hand dancing at the
Emory Sigma Chi's house dance Friday night. If you did, no doubt
you remember that cute skit and the exhibition rhumba given by a
South American it looked easy, but just you try it! Then you could
have been on the PiKA's hayride Saturday night sitting in the truck by
Virginia Hancock, or Judy Promnitz. More reminiscences about Tech
boys Louise Ross, Aline Hight, and Ruth Gudmundson went to the
Tech Sigma Chi's house dance Friday. Donna Dugger and Mary Lind-
sey still remember the Emory Phi Delt's party Saturday night. Maybe
you are interested in a certain med student, think back to Phi Chi's
lovely dance at the Starlight Roof. There was Millie Allison in a
beautiful navy lace short formal, Betty Moon in green velveteen, and
Annelle Simpson, Virginia Arnold, Betty Holland, Bet Linton, Allena
Doggett, June Carpenter, and Helen Land in taffetas, satins, silks, and
velvets. 1 2

If you were like Clara Jean McLanahan and Barbara Northey, you
were all elated about the parade and premier of "Two Flags West"
last Wednesday evening. They got to see their dates, Emory KA's,
participate in the parade.

Maybe you're still behind with homework because you went out of
town as did Helen Huie, Emy Evans, Adaline Miller, Adele Thompson,
Susan Dodson, Julie Clark, Jane Williams, and Frances Ginn; but it
was worth it. Jane Puckett and Barbara Brown have memories of
that special guest.

The gals who will always remember the past weekend and let a lot
of studies go unprepared thinking about it are Betty Mobley, who got
a pin from her KA at Auburn, Deche Armstrong, who got an engage-
ment ring Friday, and Millie Allison, who received the traditional red
roses which are sent to wearers of the KA pin.

Well, now it's too late to study; but this is a wonderful way to build
morale!

Talented Swimming Newcomer
Aims High for 1952 Olympics

By Clairelis Eaton

Esther Williams has nothing on blonde, blue-eyed Mary
Link, one of Agnes Scott's most talented newcomers, who is
certainly proof that sportsmanship results in good looks.

When asked what she would like to do most, she answered
"Of course it's every swimmer's ambition to swim in the
Olympics." And since Mary is def- r she has since changed her liking

initely a swimmer if there ever
was one, she, too, hopes to partic-
ipate in the world-wide events
vvhich are to take place in Helsin-
ki, Finland, in 1952.

Meanwhile the champion water
sportswoman is busy adding to the,
11 trophies which she has won
during the last four and a half
years. The sixteen year old not
only was fourth in the national
senior individual medley this year,
when she competed with leading
adult swimmers of the country,
but she also holds five first place
junior titles.

Mary started her road to cham-
pionship when she became a mem-
ber of the Atlanta Swimming asso-
ciation at the age of 11. After
only one year, she won her first
junior title. At that time her fa-
vorite was the breaststroke, but

to freestyle swimming.

"That usually means the crawl.
It's the fastest, you know," she ex-
plained.

At the moment Mary is swim-
ming with the Atlanta Athletic
club team, and although she is too
modest to mention it, it is obvious
that Agnes Scott has attracted
one of the stars of that group.
Why else would the group of At-
lanta Women of the Oil Industry
invite her to a dinner honoring
her and 32 other outstanding wo-
men, only four of whom are of the
sporting world? Of this group
there is only one swimmer, and
you can guess who that is!

"I'm scared to death," Mary
admitted, "I really don't feel like
a grown woman ready to be an
honor guest. I don't know why I
was chosen."

Freshman Tests
Prove Helpful
To P. E. Faculty

The physical education faculty
has long felt that they needed to
know more about incoming fresh-
men. This year, for the first time,
the new girls were given exten-
sive tests in swimming, dancing
and posture.

Never before has it been possi-
ble to find out the swimming pro-
ficiency of so many of the girls.
Often seniors have had to take
beginners swimming. This quar-
ter all of the beginners, 30 in all,
will have swimming in the fresh-
man physical education program.
Seventy-seven passed the inter-
mediate test and 13, the advanc-
ed. Six girls were either excused
or have not yet been tested. Next
quarter intermediate swimming
will be offered.

Upon giving the dance test, it
was found that 16 girls do not
need dancing in college. Five of
these passed with distinction.
This was the first time that such
a test has been given. The rest of
the freshmen did not fail, but
these 16 were outstanding. The
faculty was pleased with the
group's rhythm, balance, and co-
ordination.

On the whole the posture was
good. Emphasis will be placed
upon posture in the orientation on
health and physical education and
in body mechanics. Some help
will be given to individuals.

Aaron Copland, who has been called the "prophet of modern
music," will be presented by the Public Lecture association
tomorrow night at 8:30 p. m. in Gaines auditorium. He will
lecture on "Appreciation of Contemporary Music."

Michael A. McDowell, professor of music, is enthusiastic

about Mr. Copland's coming. "Ag-
nes Scoit is extremely fortunate,"
he commented. "Mr. Copland is
perhaps the most outstanding com-
poser of our generation; however
his interests extend beyond just
that of composition."

Mr. McDowell and members of
Lecture association will entertain
Mr. Copland at dinner in the dining
hall Thursday evening.

Critics have said that Mr. Cop-
land is a tremendous force in bring-
ing recognition and understanding
to modern music. He has been
praised for having brought a "new
dignity to jazz," and for proving
that jazz should be considered a
"serious musical expression."
* Immediately following the lec-
ture there will be a reception in
Murphey Candler in honor of Mr.
Copland. The lecture and recep-
tion are open to the public.

Members of Lecture association
are Sally Jackson, chairman, Kath-
erine Nelson, Page Hutchison, Jo-
an White, Ruth Whiting, Martha
Fortson, Jane Williams, Jane
Newland, and Kassie Simmons.

Jane Pickens
To Sing Here

By Mrs. Guy Rutland Jr.

The first concert under the
auspices of the Decatur Junior
Service League will feature Jane
Pickens, versati3e and talented
singer who will appear in concert
in Gaines auditorium Monday, Oct.
30, at 8:30 p. m.

A native of Macon, Ga., Miss
Pickens has appeared on the con-
cert stage and is now appearing on
the radio and television shows

She gave much time during the
war to singing with the USO
groups. This songstress can sing
operatic arias one minute and
switch to torch singing the next.
Her clear lilting soprano, her na-
tural charm, and warmth of per-
sonality endear her to audiences
wherever she appears.

Tickets for this concert and the
one to be given in March, 1951,
may be obtained by calling Mrs.
Robert P. Shinall, DE. 0556.

More Than Classes

Perhaps the opportunity of a lifetime is what the Public
Lecture association offers Agnes Scott students in its presen-
tation of Aaron Copland tomorrow night. By its work, Lec-
ture association brings to the campus throughout the year
some of the outstanding scholars and speakers of today
men and women important in our contemporary world whom
most of us would probably never hear otherwise.

An understanding of all phases of our society is an impor-
tant part of that "broader education for which we come to
college," and there are few better ways for the average per-
son to learn than through the eyes of an expert in a partic-
ular field. C. K.

Let's Earn Our Learning

Are we learning? Are we growing as the world around us
grows? Or is college simply a pastime with us, something that
naturally followed high school, but has no particular /bearing
on our future?

In any course we take, the importance and future use of
what we get is up to us. Textbooks, teachers are here for our
benefit but we must do the learning. It is we who must de-
cide whether this course, this college, this city, or this year
will add growth and knowledge which will bring wisdom for
a fuller, richer life. A. B.

Ad Our Thanks!

Thanks to all those nice people in the area surrounding
Agnes Scott, a number of students are saved from going tem-
porarily insane each week. Not to mention any names, but
we're referring to those people who like us enough to adver-
tise in the Agnes Scott News. And we're al'so referring to
those poor souls, the News staff. What would we do with all
the empty space that the ads fill so beautifully?

But better than the help these ads give the staff, is the
great advantage they afford all the students by helping them
get acquainted with the various stores and services that are
available within walking distance of the campus. We know
that you can't tear yourself away from all the interesting (?)
news in the school paper, but please don't ever put down the
News until you've looked at the ads. They really have a
more noble purpose than just filling up space. They're there
to serve you, so give them a chance.

File that paper away each week and when you need some-
thing look over the ads. And, when you visit a store, you
might mention that you saw its ad in Agnes Scott News. Any-
way, give them all your support. M. A. J.

Lovely Rise Stevens Comments
On Voice Career Preparation

By Sylvia Williams

"The most important thing for a girl who is interested in a
career of singing is to be very sure of her teacher," said Rise
Stevens, gracious and charming Met star who opened the
Atlanta Symphony Orchestra series here last Saturday.

Miss Stevens, who is a tall, striking redhead, added that for
singing one must have "a great
understanding" of music in addi-
tion to a knowledge of many of its
technicalities. Languages, she said,
are extremely important, as she
told the press conference some-
thing of her singing career.

Although she appeared public-
ly for the first time at 14, Miss
Stevens did not begin voice les-
sons until she was 18 years old.
Most of her study was done in Eu-
rope. In 1933, the Metropolitan
Opera company offered her a con-
tract, but she refused it. She did
not think she was ready. In 1939
the company offered another con-
tract, and at that time she be-
came a member of the company.

Simply dressed in a black and
white checked wool dress and black
opera pumps Friday afternoon in
her Biltmore hotel suite, Miss Ste-
vens contrasted the difference in
working toward a career in the
United States and in Europe.

In this country, a girl asks her
teacher if it will be three months
or six months or maybe a year be-
fore she gets to the top said Miss
Stevens; but in Europe, the girl
asks her teacher if it will be five
years or seven years or if she can
ever sing successfully.

European Versatility

"In Europe everybody sings ev-
erything," she said. "One night a
star may appear in her biggest
role, and the next just run out on
the stage long enough to say
'moo'."

The lovely star said she thinks
the next years will produce a lot
of American singers, because the
war forced many of the most cap-
able European teachers to come to
the United States. Up until the
war years, she said she thinks Eu-
ropean training was "sounder,"
but now there is opportunity for
equally sound training here.

Miss Stevens gestures a great
deal with her hands as she talks,
but with a quiet forcefulness. Her
eyes express what she feels before
she says it. She wears a very del-
icate gold wedding band. There is
one thing about which she is quite
positive "I will not sing more
than four concerts a week. I try
not to sing more than three, but
never five!"

Staff Member of YWCA
To Speak with CA Cabinet

Miss Rosalie Oakes, of the na-
tional staff of the Y. W. C. A., will
be on campus Monday and Tues-
day, Oct. 30 and 31 to have con-
ferences with Christian associa-
tion cabinet members. She will
talk to them individually on Mon-
day about the organization and
purposes of the Y. W. C. A. and
will meet with the council Mon-
day night and Tuesday.

College Girls Inspire Fashions
With Sweater Sleeve Trend

(A release from "'Mademoiselle' Magazine

College girls can take the credit for inspiring at least one of
this season's important fashion trends. After looking at col-
legiate sweater sleeves, top designers have come up with
down-to-earth shirt dresses, sleeves pushed up and staying
put, and coats with sleeves pushed up worn over wool sheath
dresses with sleeves drawn tight
to the wrist. The dresses come in
flannel, in checked wool and knit-
ted wool. They're snug, they are
comfortable they look best on
the move and they take wearing.

Basic sheaths and contrasting
cover-ups the illusion of two
dresses for the price of one dom-

Activities
Of Typical Day

Busy

By Dot Duckworth

The typical day in the life of
an Agnes Scott debutante is a
source of wonder to most of us
somber students. Breakfasts,
classes, luncheons, dinners, teas,
dances, and the eternal homework
are all part of the daily routine.
This year Agnes Scott can boast
of not only having two students,
Pat Cortelyou and Marilyn Cox,
as members of the Atlanta group,
but also the president, Anne War-
ren. The three girls have another
mutual interest they are all pin-
ned to S.A.E.'s.

During football season Marilyn,
Pat, and Anne can usually be
found on Saturday mornings at
football breakfasts and then out
at Grant Field rooting for Tech.
Marilyn will be a Tech sponsor at
the Alabama game and the honor
guest at a dinner afterwards.

Pat and Anne went to Lakemont
last weekend for a house party at
Lillian Beall's home. Among the
many individual parties, was a
breakfast for Anne on Saturday.
In addition to our three debs, Miff
Martin and Jane Puckett were also
present.

One of the big moments in
any deb's life is the Halloween
Ball Oct. 28, at the Piedmont
Driving Club. The next big week-
end after the ball will be Thanks-
giving weekend. As for all the
parties scheduled, Anne just
shakes her head and says that
there are too many to name in
this one story!

The climax of the debutante
season will be the traditional deb-
utante ball Dec. 29. On this big
occasion the girls will make their
joint debut. The orchids, music,
and filmy white dresses will make
this occasion one to be remember-
ed and cherished.

Ready - to - Wear

DE-0426 Decatur

phire rayon velvet sheaths, open-
necked, come with matching jack-
ets. Jacketed, you start out in an
informal mood; unjacketed you
are set for dancing or any other
semiformal occasion.

While the accent is on slimness
this year in dresses, the good news
about coats is that no one shape
dominates. It may be the enor-
mous tent falling from sloping
shoulders or a trim fitted reefer,
this year velvet collared and
cuffed.

And if this is your year for a
fur coat, you are in luck. The new
straight fur coats look slim and
wonderful, even in furs you might
once have thought bulky shear-
ed raccoon and sheared fox. And
colored furs such as jewel colored
seal-dyed lapin shockers just a
few years back are now quite
as acceptable as conventional
grays, blacks and browns.

Dek-it to Announce
Winner Next Week

"A home away from home"
might be the motto of Dek-it.
Sponsored by Christian associa-
tion,, Dek-it has as its purpose
the task of helping the freshmen
to transform their rooms into
something attractive, liveable, and
individual. The winner of this
year's contest will be announced
in next week's Agnes Scott News.

This year a typical room was
displayed in Inman, with different
types of spreads, rugs, chests, cur-
tains, and lamps all lent by Da-
vison-Paxon company. Also fea-
tured were model rooms that were
used to show different room ar-
rangements. For three nights the
members of the Dek-it committee
were on hand to answer questions.

A contest is sponsored by Dek-
it to further the interest in room
decoration; the present contest
will be judged this afternoon. The
rooms are judged on their orig-
inality, simplicity and liveability.
Judges this year are Miss Anita
Albright, Mrs. Annie Mae F.
Smith, and Marijean Alexander.

The Dek-it committee this year
was led by Katherine Nelson and
included Barbara Futral, Peggy
Ann Harper, Suanne Bowers, and
Barbara West.

Latest Society Gossip Makes
Chemistry Problems Easier

By MARTHA FORTSON

"Hi, Marge, shake out your raincoat and come on in. I'm not study-
ing. I'm too beat to get much done tonight, but we'll do that chemistry.
How was the Tech Delta Tau Delta house dance ?

"I saw Sue Peterson leave in an adorable black wool jersey dress;
Kay Krauth was with her. Don't you want some candy? Oh, it won't
make you fat. What's some more news? Say, didn't the Tech Phi
Delt's throw a party? Frances Summerville, Taffy Merrill, and Adele
Thompson were going somewhere with some Phi Delts.

"That's what I thought. Weren't Betty Moon, Anne Goolsby, and
Edith Petrie excited about Dot Rollins' wedding? You know they were
bridesmaids. That's right the wedding was last Saturday night.
Oh, I meant to tell you, Sue Floyd married a boy whose last name is
Hardy. They have an apartment, and she's busy with housework and
homework.

All-Wet Weekend

"No, I didn't go. Where was the KA hayride? I think Carol Lou
Jacob, Anne DeWitt, Kathie Amick, and Betty McClellan went.

"Here are my chemistry notes. They don't help much. Tell me
about Donna Bugger's and Kathie Amick's ATO's from Auburn. Those
lucky humans really had a weekend! They went to the game. Speaking
of the game it was kinda wet Saturday at Grant field. Doris Cling-
man, Catherine Warren, Jody Horn, Ann Jones, Donya Dixon, Mary
Beth Robinson and Carolyn Crea 'swam' out to the grandstands.

"Haven't you been dating a Sigma Nu lately? Then you went to the
Tech house dance. Didn't you see Jean Askren and Virginia Hancock?
Mary Anne Wyatt and Anne Potts were at the Emory Sigma Nu house.

"Yes, I did get to the dance at Emory; Anita Coyne and Rosalyn
Kenneday were there and lots more from Agnes Scott. The fashion
show, sponsored by Muse's, was right interesting. The Emory fellows
got a charge out of it.

"Uh huh! I think weddings are so exciting. I'll bet Mary Lou Mat-
tison looked beautifull. Sue Yarbrough, Wilton Rice, and Barbara
Stainton went to her wedding.

"Well, while we're at it, let's just gossip about everyone. Marijean
Alexander and Helen Huie went to the S. A. M. E. banquet at the
American Legion post last Friday night. Those initials stand for
Society of American Military Engineers. I'll bet you would have never
figured that out.

Grand Exodus Week

"The chem problems are on page 102 all 10 of them. We'll never
finish. I don't ever seem to get caught up. I wonder how all those
souls who went out of town this weekend managed it. Elaine Schubert,
Sylvia Moutos, and Elaine Blaine went to Augusta in Sylvia's cute
convertible, while Julia Clark's beau came here from Augusta. Bet Lin-
ton, Ann Jones, and Sarah Samond went to Davidson's homecoming and
Virginia Claire Hayes went to Monroe to Anne Beasley's wedding.
Roberta Williams went home, Barbara West and Mary Jane Newland
went to Duke university, Ann Boyer and Margie Thomason went to
the Alabama-U. T. game and Virginia Lee Floyd went home with
Carolyn Lester. Sounds like a grand exodus week, doesn't it?

"Yes, I'm about wound down, too. Say, one more thing I ran
into Jane Landon and Doris Clingman, who were going to the Beta
house dance at Tech. They said that Tibby King, Mary Jane Largen,
and Tiff Hayes went to the Tech Sigma Chi house. O. K. f now to
chemistry!

"Me too, let's go to bed!"

NSA Representative Reports Gym sh " s
On Arrival at IUS Conference J ockey Man 9ers

(This summer students from countries all over the world Ann0un Ce INeW KUl

journeyed behind the Iron Curtain to attend the Second
World Student Congress. Among the Americans who attend-
ed this meeting was a three-man* observer team representing
the United States National Students association.

This is the first in a series of articles written by a member
of that team describing the congress in Prague.)

By Bill Holbrook

In December of 1949 the National Executive committee of
the National Student association decided to send an observer
delegation to the International Union of Students sponsored
convention in Prague.

For two years NSA had been rejecting IUS affiliation
because of that group's close ad- .

" if not terrifying. The

herence to the Communist' party
line.

However, as 1950 approached,
NSA chiefs decided they should
send some people behind the Iron
Curtain to act as spokesmen for
the United States "to present an
accurate picture of the American
educational system and to refute
the distorted allegations concern-
ing American education and stu-
dent life."

NSA Picks Leader

Picked to head the delegation
was Erskine Childers, internation-
al vice-president of NSA. Other
members were Eugene Schwartz,
former NSA vice president for ed-
ucational problems; Robert West,
former NSA vice president for in-
ternational affairs; and myself, a
recent graduate of the University
of Minnesota law school.

Schwartz took over as head of
the delegation when Childers
could not attend the Prague con-
gress because, as international
vice president, he had other du-
ties to fulfill.

In order to keep from going into
the congress cold, we met in New
York and again in Paris to discuss
our presentations. While in Paris
visa trouble split up the delegation.
Due to difficulties with IUS and
the Czech government, Schwartz
and I didn't get our visas until the
first day of the congress. West's
travel papers came through a few
days earlier, and so he left for
Prague before we did.

Exciting Flight

Schwartz and I got our visas
from the Czech embassy on the
morning of August 14. By rushing
we just managed to catch the
morning flight from Paris to
Prague by way of Zurich, Swit-
zerland. The flight was filled with
excitement and anticipation. It
was like an excursion into recent
history as the plane flew over
Southern Germany, where we
could see the pock marks left by
the bombs of the Second World
War. And as the plane flew over
Czechoslovakia, signs of harvest
time were apparent.

When we landed in Prague we
were met by an extremely con-
genial and very friendly young
Czech. It wasn't until later we
learned that he had mistaken us
for members of an organization
called the Defenders of Peace. The
Defenders, who issued the Stock-
holm Appeal, were meeting in
Prague during the Second World
Student congress. After luggage
had cleared customs, our student
driver drove us into Prague where
we registered and were assigned
quarters in the Kolegi Masarki,
a student dormitory.

Impressive Displays

In Prague the symbolism dis-
played in flags and tremendous
pictures of Stalin and Gotvold was

Ellington's Grocery

307 E. College Ave.
Cr. 3841 - 3842

impressive
Soviet flag as well as Stalin's pic-
ture were being displayed promin-
ently. Also very much in evidence
was the picture of a peace dove,
symbolizing the significance of the
Stockholm appeal. Pictures of the
lesser known Communist leaders
of the various people's republics
of Eastern Europe and New China
were also displayed.

The dormitory in which we stay-
ed was completely filled with col-
orful posters and slogans in many
languages describing the theme of
the congress as well as lauding
the peace appeal. The uniform
symbols of the Communist state
provided the setting for the Second
World Student congress.

After a meeting of the hockey
council, it was decided that each
girl who wishes to play in the class
games Friday will be required to
attend at least one practice dur-
ing the week. Any team which
does not have enough players must
forfeit the game. Miss .Llewellyn
Wilburn, associate professor of
physical education, feels that the
game is too strenuous for a girl to
play a 15-minute half without
practice.

The game which was postponed
last week will be made up in two
weeks.. This Friday the sister
classes will meet as scheduled.
Don't forget that Athletic associ-
ation will sell candied apples.

Outing Club

Outing club had to call off its
hike last Sunday morning because
of rain, but is going next Sunday.
All members who plan to go will
meet in front of Main at 6:30 a. m.
to walk to the Majestic for break-
fast. The group will ride back.
Outing club is planning three
events for fall quarter, and mem-
bers are required to attend two of
them.

Thomasoris Arabian May Day
Promises Exotic Color Splash

By Marijean Alexander

A clash of cymbals, a roll of drums, and a gala array of
costume will welcome us to an Arabian palace where adven-
ture awaits on May Day, 1951.

Margie Thomason opens the door to grandeur and excite-
ment in her scenario, "The Adventure of Prince Abdul-Kad-
er," which was selected by the

May Day committee last Wednes-
day.

The action begins with a great
celebration in honor of the Prince,
during which he is to receive three
highly treasured statues one of
garnet, one of ebony, and orfe of
the purest ivory. The sudden and
strange appearance of the gro-
tesque Genie King alters the chain
of events; and the Prince, under
his power, is compelled to a trying
search, little suspecting the out-
come.

Thunder spirits, lightening
flashes, tigers, and a mysterious
dark mirror add thrill to the ad-
venture. The Black Midget fan
bearers, iveil dancers, swordsmen,
and elephants lend a unique charm
to the Arabian tale.

"The Adventure of Prince Ab-
dul-Kader" promises to be one of
the most exciting and colbrful May
Day events presented at Agnes
Scott.

Students will elect the members
of May Court sometime February.

Wednesday Chapel
To Feature Graham

In an extended chapel program
Wednesday, Nov. 8, evangelist
Billy Graham will speak to the
students and faculty of Agnes
Scott college.

Dr. Graham is appearing in At-
lanta in a campaign for Christ that
is scheduled to last a month or
longer. He has been an evangelist
for a little over two years. He ac-
credits his soul-winning success
not to himself but to the power of
God and the results of countless
prayer meetings over the nation.
"His sermons are Biblical, freeiof
emotional illustrations and sensa-
tionalism."

Dr. Graham was born near Char-
lotte, N. C, and had no religious
inclinations. He took little inter-
est in the church, in fact, until he
w"as converted at a revival in Char-
lotte led by Mordecai Ham. Even
then it was several years before he
considered doing religious work.

He says his biggest problem was
learning to preach. Since his en-
trance into the ministry, he has
become "America's most persuas-
ive voice in evangelistics."

Dr. Graham is assisted in his
work here by a staff of assistants.
For the first time he is to have
his own song book.

Color Scheme Attracts Judges
As Thrasher, Griffin Win Dek-it

By Calico

Valanced windows, a green and yellow color scheme, and
a liveable arrangement caught Dek-It judges' eyes and
brought first prize to Carmie Thrasher and Ellen Griffin in
Inman 207. A dark green print was used for the valance and
the cubby-hole curtain, and straight curtains of pale yellow
net provided the necessary light

and air. Green was repeated in
the spreads and rugs, while cush-
ions of coral and chartreuse ac-
cented the green.

An (Unusual item was a basket
painted and turned upside down
for a magazine stand. The dark
green and chartreuse were used
further in the lampshade and in
the pottery figurines. The judges
commented upon the practical
features of the room its balanced
arrangement, good use of lights,
and generally uncluttered appear-
ance.

Pink 'n Blue

In second place is room 223,
where the feminine tastes of Gen-
evieve Guardia and Ellen Prouty
are displayed. The colors used
are pink and blue; matching dust
ruffles of pink are used on the
beds, curtains, and cubbyhole cur-
tain. There are two long bulle-
tin boards placed just above the
wall molding at eye level. "A very
homelike and liveable room, as
well as feminine" was the com-
ment.

Special mention was made of the
use of materials by Patty Boring
and Eleanor Hutchinson in Room
307, and of Sidney Newton and
Arden Locher in room 303. Patty
and Eleanor used only one mater-
ial a black, green, and white

check for curtains and bed-
spreads, in that way tying the
whole room together. Both at-
tractive and original were the
blue burlap spreads and curtains
made by Sidney and Arden. Tie-
backs and borders were of a con-
trasting print.

The judges would like to com-
mend the girls in Mary Sweet for
the excellent job they have done in
decorating. Simplicity was the
keynote there, and color was well
used. Especially interesting were
the half curtains used to provide a
maximum of light .

Judging this year were Miss An-
ita Albright, assistant dean of
students, Mrs. Annie Mae F.
Smith, supervisor of dormitories,
Marijean Alexander, and Kather-
ine Nelson.

Variety Is The Spice

"Chariots of gold," says Timothy;
"Silver wings," says Elaine;
"A bumpety ride in a wagon of hay
For me," says Jane.

(Walter De La Mare)

Who, recalling this excerpt from an old nursery poem, 'could
scoff at Timothy's desire for golden chariots or Elaine's wish
for silvery wings or Jane's wanting a bumpety ride on a
wagon of hay? Each is an individual with different ideas
about what he wants.

Have we forgotten the point of Walter De La Mare's poem,
or did we ever realize it? Is there a blind spot in our minds
that amounts to an intolerance of the different? Do we mark
something odd or funny or peculiar or terrible just because it
does not appeal to us?

As little girls did we make fun of Sally because she liked
to play cops and robbers instead of dolls? We may have tab-
bed Mary "sissy" or "scardy-cat" because she did not want to
climb trees or roll down the hill. Perhaps we did or did not.
That was a child's world. i

But it could be that childhood prejudices have lingered
and spread. Speaking of someone's ideas or customs or chos-
en work in tinged undertone shows lack of thought, but ev-
ery day we marvel in how-could-she voices.

Suppose someone had rather work in a department store
than continue her formal education. Suppose a girl had rather
get married than come baok to college. Who are we to sit back
and deal out pharisaical criticism? It takes Timothy's,
Elaines, and Janes to make the world interesting. S. W.

I'm Right!'
'Let's Fight'

By Helen Land

One was black; the other black
and tan. Mongrel puppies, but we
thought Skippy had produced well.
Mary, my little sister, took one; I,
the other. I came home from
school one afternoon when they
were a few months old. Pitch had
the black and tan by the throat.
Red oozed; snarls tore at me. Hor-
rified, I pulled them apart. The
next day, a friend in the country
came for Pitch.

Not long ago I stopped to watch
two tow-headed eight-year-olds
playing marbles on the front walk.
One knocked the other's green
shooter out of a key position. In-
stantly, he grabbed the first by
the hair, ( his fist pummelling his
chest. Scuffling and loud sobs
ensued.

Turn on the radio. You can hear
big-little boys playing games. Each
speaks a different language. They
are from separate places. But
each repeats, "Your wrong."

"You're stupid."

"We're right."

Puppies, t'owheaded boys, and
men. All have to fight. Except
sometimes when it's men, sons
have to fight for an argument their
fathers started (so they could
"make the world a better place
for sons.")

"Have you heard that John's
been called? Leaving next week."

"Got my orders. Sue and I are
getting married."

Signs of the times. And it's
been this way before. Many times,
many places. In England, years
ago, A. E. Housman understood.
"Here i dead lie we because we did
not ' choose

To live and shame the land from
which we sprung.
Life, to be sure, is nbthing much
to lose

But young men think it is, and
we were young."

Spiro Defies Debman Approach
In 'Weep No More My Lady'

By Cissie Spiro

A Southern newspaperman has become one of the most
readknd discussed authors of today; W. E. Debman has writ-
ten some Southerners' answer to Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt's re-
port on the "poor and unhappy" south. Mrs. Roosevelt gave
a series of lectures at the University of North Carolina, and
when she returned to the North,

wrote a series of columns concern-
ing her observations of the South.
The remark which inspired Mr.
Debnam's <work "Weep No More
My Lady" was "There's a charm
about the South. The 'smell of
magnolias, the lavender-and-old-
lace feeling still exists there. Peo-
ple are less hurried; they have
more opportunity perhaps for
grace of living but there are signs
of poverty and unhappiness that
will gradually have to disappear
if that part of the nation is going
to prosper i and keep pace with the
rest of it."

In answering Mrs. Roosevelt,
Mr. Debman has taken the usual
southern approach. He has spent
half of the book discussing i "The
War" and the problems of recon-
struction. The presentation of re-
construction problems seems fair
and certainly not exaggerated, but
there seemed to be nothing! added
to what can be found in most his-
tory books (both northern and
southern).

The North comes in for its share
of i condemnation in this work as
does Mrs. Roosevelt and her fam-

ily. There seemed to be an un-
necessary amount of discussion of
personalities; perhaps we could
have benefited far more from his
book had i more time beeen devoted
to the south and less time to the
family occupation of Mrs. Roose-
velt's grandmother.

The circulation of "Weep No
More My Lady" has been i in the
South mainly. Perhaps the easy
subtle humor and open digs will
make this a best seller in the
North, too, some day; but maybe
Northerners iare tired of hearing
post mortems on reconstruction
and would like a more comprehen-
sive study of what the South HAS
done and WILL do.

Spotlight On Missing News

"A News that reaches into all the 'newsy' nooks and cran-
nies of the campus" was one of the goals we set for ourselves
for our term in office, a goal we have not forgotten, but are
still trying to reach. We look at calendars, we quiz adminis-
tration officers, we keep an ear trained in the direction of the
alumnae association, and we feel that we know all the bul-
letin boards by heart but there still seem to be a lot of
things that happen before we hear about them, things we
think the student body should know about and about which it
is our duty to inform them.

There are departmental lectures and movies and speakers at
club meetings who are here: and gone before many students
who might like to hear them are aware of their opportunity
lost. There is a new member on the staff this year,' a faculty
reporter whose duty it is to cover such events on campus
which might otherwise be reported only to students taking
certain courses and go unnoticed by others. We hope that those
who plan or take part in such programs will take advantage
of 'the opportunity of letting the campus know through the
News. C. K.

Presbyterian Youth Will Meet
At Auburn December 29-31

Presbyterian youth from all over the United States will be
on the campus of Alabama Polytechnic Institute in Auburn,
Alabama from Dec. 28-31.

The youth convention will be "the fourth in a great series
of conventions for the youth of the Presbyterian church, U. S.,
in / which they face together the
challenge of Christ for the world
in which we live."

According to the invitation pam-
phlet, plans have been made for
three days of fellowship, worship,
study, (discussion and recreation.
Some of "the outstanding Chris-
tian leaders' of the Presbyterian
church and the world will be pres-
ent.

Small dicsussion groups to do
concentrated Bible i study and to
discuss the major addresses will
offer a chance for individual par-
ticipation. "Firesides," a series of
informal evening bull sessions,
have been planned to give an op-
portunity for (discussion on special
subjects of deep concern to a youth
group.

The invitation includes persons
between, the ages of 17 and 25
college, Seminary, Assembly's
Training school students, or mem-
bers of Synod's Youth council.

All those interested in attend-
ing the conference should write to
Synod chairmen. The deadline for
registering is Nov. 27, and the bul-
letin-board in the mailroom has ad-
ditional information.

Halloween Spirit Is
Theme of Bacon Bat

A gay Halloween spirit, grinning
jack-o-lanterns, and supper served
buffet style made Bacon Bat, an-
nual faculty party, a pleasant af-
fair.

The informal party, which was
given Saturday night in Murphey
Candler by the second year staff
and faculty in honor of new staff
and faculty members, included all
faculty members and their fam-
ilies.

Laden in true harvest style with
fried chicken, sandwiches, apples,
and cookies, the table was bright
with an orange runner and a real
pumpkin face for centerpiece.
Fall J[eaves were arranged in at-
tractive clusters on ,the mantels
and a kerosene lamp cast ghostly
shadows from its place on the pi-
ano.

In addition to party chatter, the
guests enjoyed, dancing the Virgin-
ia reel and playing other folk
eames.

Atlanta Symphony Will Present
Second Concert Saturday Night

By B. J. Sharpe

The second program in the Atlanta Symphony orchestra
series will be presented Nov. 4, at 8:30 p. m. at the Municipal
auditorium.

The first number on the program will be Wagner's Over-
ture "Die Meistersinger." This will be followed by Walton's
"Viola Concerto," with Hans-Karl '
Piltz, first violist of the symphony
orchestra, as soloist. Mr. Piltz
is the former director of Hull
House string orchestra, and he
has played with chamber music'
groups in his native Germany. He
has been acclaimed one of At-
lanta's finest musicians.

Following this number will be
Mozart's Symphony No. 39, and
last on the program will be sev-
eral waltzes by Shulman.

The Atlanta Symphony orches-
tral made up of 90 members who,
partly because of the talent of
their director, Henry Sopkin, have
been fused into what has been de-
scribed by concert-goers and crit-
ics as one of the finest musical
organizations of the Southeast.

Mr. Sopkin spent the summer as
director of the San Diego State
College workshop in symphony or-
chestra instruction. This year he
is beginning his seventh season as
conductor of the Atlanta Sympho-
ny orchestra.

There will be a chaperone for
those Agnes Scott students who

Agnes Scott Debs
Make Formal Bows

By Martha Fortson

As Bill Clark's band played, soft
music, Agnes Scott's three lovely
debutantes were formally present-
ed to society at the annual Hallow-
een ball at Piedmont Driving club.
The spotlight first .shone on Anne
Warren, president of 1950-51 club,
as she entered in an exquisite ice-
blue satin dress with panels of
Chantilly lace. Another of Agnes
Scott's debutantes was Marilyn
Cox, who wore a dark wine vel-
vet dress with a drape of pink ruf-
fles. Pat Cortelyou sparkled be-
neath the spotlight in a white ny-
lon tulle dress with a bodice cov-
ered with sequins. ,

Also on the dance floor was Ma-
ry Ripley in a rose beige satin
dress and rhinestone jewelry. Kit-
ty Warren, in a satin brocade, dress
with a bealed bodice, viewed the
presentation. She is the retiring
president of the club. Mary
enCharles Fitzpatrick^ who , chose
not to make her debut, also danced
in the lovely ballroom. She looked
very charming in a red velvet
strapless dress with a matching
jacket.

Jane Pickens
Sends Love

By Mary Ann Jaynes

"Give everybody my love," said
Jane Pickens as she answered
questions 'Monday i afternoon in-be-
tween sessions at helping the tech-
nicians adjust spotlights for, her
concert in Gaines Monday night.
It was her first concert in the
hometown, and s^e said she had
looked forward to it for a long
time.

Miss Pickens delighted the au-
dience Monday night with her lilt-
ing soprano, and her gracious man-
ner. Her ability to switch from
operatic arias to the various forms
of popular music is really wonder-
ful.

The well known star of stage,
radio, and television, began her
musical studies when Mrs. Con-
nie Clarke of Decatur taught her
to play the guitar while, a student
at the old Girls' high school. Later
through the interest of the late
Mrs. Benjamin Elsas, she began
studying voice at the Curtis In-
stitute of Music in Philadelphia.
She also studied in Paris and at
Juilliard in New York.

Besides having had numerous
radio shows, mostly with NBC, and
appearing frequently on television,
Miss Pickens starred in the play
"Regina" on Broadway last year.

Having arrived in Atlanta last
Saturday, Miss Pickens has been
"eating and resting." Her favorite
food, as a true Southerner, is, grits.
"I've eaten two helpings for break-
fast every morning since I've been
here," she confided.

Miss Pickens is just too busy for
the usual hobbies. Her spare time,
when there is any, is spent pro-
moting several charitable organiz-
ations. The closest to her heart
is the Cerebral Palsy foundation.

Her plans for the future are in-
definite at the moment, but, there
are possibilities of being in a new
Rogers and Hammerstein musical
or doing a radio show for NBC.
Miss Pickens isn't too eager over a
television show right now, but she
may consider one in another year.

Skeletons, Witches Come Out
For Halloween Frat Parties

By MARTHA FORTSON

A white sheet where is it going? it's a ghost, that must be a
witch, that one is a hobo, no doubt, and the last one is a gypsy. Where
are those things going? Oh yes, some of the frats are having Halloween
costume parties, and the gals have shaken out their old costumes. One
of those odd looking humans was Dianne Shell, dressed as a country
nick, Bonnie Sanders, or Daisy Mae, was beside her, Natalie Stratton
as Little Bo Peep and Carolyn Barksdale, a gypsy, were following them.
They were headed for the Sigma Pi costume party.

Barbara Hood, Sara Rose, Sue Purdom, and Mary Lindsey turned
back to their childhood and were seen in costume bobbing for apples at
the Phi Delt party Saturday night. (Mary is the new sponsor.)
Marcia Rosefield also was all dressed up at the AEPi party. The
Emory ATO's got out the black and yellow crepe paper along with
pumpkins and skeletons, and according to Harriet Durham, Rosalyn
Kenneday, Ann Boyer, and Barbara Stainton had a fine party at
Fernback. The Emory Chi Phi's also celebrated Halloween with a
party which Mary Ripley and Nancy Hobbs attended.

Behind those gals in costumes were some in blue jeans. Among
the blue jeans wearers were Mary Beth Robinson, Harriette Potts,
Winnie Strozier, June Carpenter, Phyllis Hess, Virginia Lee Floyd,
Florence Worthy, Patt Martin, Caroline Lester, Betty Ziegler, Joan
White, Shirley Ford, Margie Thomason, and Ann Herman, who were
all on the Sigma Chi hayride to Stone Mountain. Frances Vandiver,
who was on the Phi Kappa Tau picnic, said she saw the group on the
mountain. The last group of gals in jeans attended the Decatur
Presbyterian church square dance and were Connie Byrd, Bunny Coley,
Frances Blakeney, Dot Weston, Pat Fredrickson, Mitzi Dews, Jane
Crook, and Nena Hale.

Scotties See Tech Wrecked

Well, not to forget the all-important Tech homecoming though
Kentucky beat Tech there was plenty of celebrating on the Tech
campus. Among the girls who attended the game were Gail Rogers,
Jackie Josey, Connie Major, Betty Cheney, and Bev Olsen. Of course,
half the campus turned out for the dance in the Tech gym and danced
to the music of Albert Coleman. As usual you couldn't move without
an "excuse me." Some of the girls who viewed the Tech decorations
Friday night were Mary Anne Wyatt and Doris Clingman, who were at
the KA house. Frances Summerville, Taffy Merrill, Dele Thompson,
and Jane Hook were at the Phi Delt house; and Nancy Whetstone and
Joen Fagan were at the SAE house.

If you didn't attend the homecoming or the Halloween parties, may-
be you had out-of-town guests as did Landis Cotten, Helen Jean Rob-
arts, Lois Dryden, Gwyn Davies, Kitty Currie, and Florrie Fleming, or
went visiting as did Marjorie Mayfield, Nancy Hall, and Gloria Price.
Or maybe you attended a dinner party. Sunday night Pat Baumgarter,
Betty Stein, Margaret Ann Kaufman, Cissie Spiro, Esther Adler, and
Jeanne Mayer went to a lovely supper party. Or better still maybe
you got pinned as did Mary Jane Largen, and Patsy Cooper, or even
engaged, as Betty Harrell and Virginia Dunn did. They're four people
who will always remember this Halloween.

By Adaline Miller

Sounds like "Let's go team! Rah! Rah! Rah!" were heard

on the hockey field Friday afternoon when the freshmen and

as a result of a beautiful play by
Julia Grier. The entire game was

British Debaters to Visit ASC
For Discussion on UN Nov. 16

A touch of "jolly good" English accent will be heard on the
Agnes Scott campus on Nov. 16, 1950. Ernest Alwyn Smith
and John Gwynn Williams of the Combined British Univer-
sities debate team will be here to uphold the negative side of
the question, "Resolved: that the United Nations is a good
international debating society, but

not effective as world govern-
ment," against the Agnes Scott
team, Cissie Spiro and Susan Han-
cock. The debate will be at 8:15
p. m. in Maclean chapel after a
banquet at the Plantation Cot-
tage.

Mr. Smith was born at Walzall,
Staffordshire. He now attends
the medical school of the Univer-
sity of Birmingham. Debating So-
ciety secretary, editor of the Uni-
versity literary magazine, Guild
Councillor, and delegate to the Na-
tional Union of Students are his
most important extra-curricular
achievements. During the war, he
served as a lieutenant in the Royal
Marines in Holland and Germany.

Mr. Williams was born in
Montgomery shire. He was
graduated with honor in history
from the University College of
North Wales and received his dip-
loma in education in 1949. He was

elected to the University Student-
ship in 1949. He plans to teach
and then to enter politics. He was
the student president of Debates
Union, 1949-50, and was a very ac-
tive speaker during the general
election. He is a member of the
B rit ish Labor Party. During the
war, he served with the Royal
Navy from 1943-45.

Emory's Laird to Be Host
At Religious Discussion

work, there will be a meeting Nov.
13 at the home of Sam Laird, di-
rector of Emory religious life. The
meeting will be for all students
who plan to go into religious work,
especially in the foreign field. This
is sponsored by the Student Vol-
unteer Movement, and those who
wish to go should see Margaret
MeRae.

Hayes Calls for Comic Vision
At Senior Investiture Chapel

/'Humor is based on incongruity. Incongruity may result
from an inversion of human values . . . The greatest incongru-
ity in human life is man himself: part flesh, part spirit." Man
is incurably foolish, but at the same time he can recognize his
foolishness by the power of reason and smile at it.

So spoke George P. Hayes, pro

fessor of English, when he deliver-
ed the address at Senior Investi-
ture last Saturday, upon the in-
vitation of the class of 1951. An
academic procession opened the
program, followed by the prayer
given by James Houston, husband
of one of the members of the sen-
ior class. At the close of Mr.
Hayes' speech, Miss Carrie Scan-
drett, dean, capped the seniors as
they came forward to the plat-
form.

"We must see life from more
than one angle," continued Mr.
Hayes. There are two angles of vis-
ion with which we look on life: the
serious and the comic. We might
compare it to our two eyes: "One
enables us to see, but the second
adds depth and perspective. A
man witfiout a sense of humor is
a man with only one eye."

Pathway of Humor

The humorous way of life "is
a path to be travelled, and anyone
can start upon it anywhere, any-
time." Mr. Hayes pointed out cer-
tain things one can do to travel
this path. First, a person must al-
ways be on the lookout for grist
for his mill. Like Falstaff, one
must be able to find humor in the
various situations in which he finds
himself.

At the same time, however, one
must learn to laugh at himself be-
fore 'he laughs at others. This is
of prime importance. "The humor-

ist begins with observation of life,
and on that he builds his imagin-
ative creation. The final product
emerges "truer than actual life."
Mr. Hayes stated that we can ac-
tually "transform experiences by
the aid of humorous imagination."
"We can play a role for 'humor-

Mother of Former AS Student
Recounts Experiences in India

By Clairelis Eaton

How would you like to be fleeing the monkey-man with his
half-dozen performing animals when you enter the Gate of
India at Bombay? Or would you care to watch men with red-
dyed beards returning from Mecca? Or better still, live in a
marble-floored mansion with 14 servants? All these and many
more adventures have befallen

Maconites Mr. and Mrs. Charles
H. Derry and their daughter Mary
Anne, a former Agnes Scott stu-
dent, during Mr. Derry's long
service as consul in the state de-
partment.

Mrs. Derry, who is now in De-
catur renewing acquaintances
including that of Miss Leslie Gay-
lord, assistant professor of math-
ematics has many stories to tell
of her family's interesting life
while in the diplomatic service.

"It took us 73 days to get from
New York to Calcutta where we
were for the last three years. We
stopped at 12 ports, nine of which
were troubled."

Particularly Bad

Among the cities where the Der-
rys found particularly uncomfort-
able conditions were the Lebanon
capitol, Berrut, where riots and
anti-American feelings were prev-
alent because of the partition of
Palestine, Haifa where the Jews
and Arabs were fighting on Mount
Carmel and where the Plague was
running rampant, and Alexandria,
a city with a cholera epidemic. It
was here that the boat generator
broke and the Derrys found them-
selves "sculling around the Nile
Delta for several days" until the
parts were repaired. The red-
bearded men were viewed from the
boat in Jidda, where those on
board were quarantined for nine
days because they had been in
cholera-infested Egypt.

"It's very interesting to see
these men," Mrs. Derry said.
"When they have returned from a
pilgrimage to Mecca, they are al-
lowed to dye their beards."

When the party arrived in Bom-
bay, Ghandi was assassinated in
New Delhi.

"It was pretty quiet in Bombay."
Mrs. Derry commented, "because
it is a Hindu city and Ghandi was
murdered by Hindus. There's no
telling what would have happened
if a Moslem had killed him."

On Feb. 12. the group finally set
out for Calcutta where Mr. Der-
ry was to be consul-general. The
last lap of the journey was by
far not uneventful. Some of Ghan-

di's ashes had been thrown into the
Hoogly River, a tributary of the
sacred Ganges, and no pilot would
travel. "So there we sat on the
Bay of Bengal for 36 hours."

In Calcutta, the Derrys found
mixed conditions. "It is a western
industrial city with eastern ideas,"
Mrs. Derry explained.

There was the largest steel
plant which the British empire
possessed until India was freed, yet
there are so many poor people that
thousands live and eat in the
streets because they have no
homes; there are great modern
shipping companies, but the white
cows which are sacred to the Hin-
dus still wander in the main
streets; there is a large Singer
Sewing Machine company branch,
but the women still wear saris
the wealthy wear those made of
gold and silver thread, the poor
ones, those of cheap yellow cotton;
there are occasional flare-ups be-
tween the Hindus and the Mos-
lems, and these religions cannot
reconcile themselves with each
other or with Christianity, yet the
Indians are most friendly to the
Americans.

We can see that India is a coun-
try of incongruity and paradox,
but recent world events have made
her one of the great powers of
Asia.

Honor Group Tells
Of Annual Contest

Announcement of National Mor-
tar Board's annual $500 fellowship
contest was made this week to
the campus chapter by Mrs. Ham-
ilton J. Stevens, chairman of the
committee for the award.

Tl?e Katherine Wills Coleman
Fellowship, named 1n honor of a
former national president of Mor-
tar Board, goes each year to an
active member of the organization
as an aid in graduate study. It
may be used either the year fol-
lowing graduation or the next
year, but application must be made
by December 10 of the senior year.

Landmarks

Late, Date?
He'll Wait

By Helen Land

Men, men, and more men.
"Great," you say. I say yes, but
not leaning across a desk asking
for other women.

"Is you date expecting you?"

"Er . . . ah . . . yeah, but no spe-
cial time. Call her, please."

"Call my date on second Re-
bekah!"

"May I use the phone a sec?"

"Hi, cutie! Know' any good look-
in' girls that want dates tonight?"

A grin, a scowl, an impatient
"You mean I can't even smoke in
here?" |

And from down the hall. "Hey,
can I have my special?"

A scramble for the key while
masculine fingers reach for the
card catalogue.

"C'mon, let me find myself a
date. I'm bound to know some
chick around here."

"Please, don't. I'll be right
back."

"You mean I have to sign my
life away?" A long, loud ha-ha,
sure he is the originator of the
"cute" comment. You smile be-
tween clinched teeth (if that's pos-
sible) and try to concentrate on
the philosophy book open before
you.

Soccie, Ole Boy

"What'cha studying, huh? Soc-
rates. Good ole boy. I took that
once. Need any help?"

"Hey, my date hasn't come. Call
her again, will you?"

Receiver to your ear, you're ask-
ing for the girl as she appears. The
two dis-appear leaving you hold-
ing the phone and the bag. "Oh,
I'm so sorry but she's just come
. . . Ouch!" Your ear does a back
flip at the crash on the other end.

"Dear, don't you think it's get-
ting dark?" A gentle reminder
from the D. O.

"Oh." Sure enough. Dates are
sitting in the gathering dark. Cal-
amity. (They might strain their
eyes while reading.) You dash in
with a " 'scuse me," and flood
them with light.

"Has my package come from
Threadgill's? No? Well, call me
when it comes. Don't have the time
to wait."

"Lady, can you take this dry
cleaning?"

Several dashes and phone calls
later, you sink into the chair. Half
looking up you see a blue tie. "Yes ?
Who?" Hands go on hips.

"Oh, Bill! Hi! I'll be off in five
minutes . . . dancing? Well, not
exactly what I had in mind. How
about a nice quiet movie?"

ous effect, if it is only to exagger-
ate our innocence or stupidity
and project it before others. The
essence of the situation is a cer-
tain ambiguity of expression." Mr.
Hayes cited the example of Pres-
ent W. A. Neilson of Smith Col-
lege, who was travelling on a train
with , a salesman. "What's your
line?" asked Dr. Neilson. "Skirts,"
replied the salesman. "And yours?"
"The same," said the president,
"skirts!" Mr. Hayes pointed out
that the great humorous books
help us to "incorporate into our
viewpoint their special angles of
comic vision." As the great writers
took their ideas from one another,
so must we in turn be influenced
by them.

Mr. Hayes believes that the hu-
morous path runs parallel to the
path of the mystic, the contempla-
tive, the saint. "Let us examine
ourselves in the light of the con-
templative comic spirit," he pro-
posed. First he spoke of teach-
ers, lightly showing the contrast
between the subject matter and
the purveyors of it. Because
teachers are well acquainted with
the wisdom of the ages does not
necessarily mean they are wise
themselves!

Response to Tyranny

Humor is not merely contempla-
tive, however. Humor should be
infused into active life. Through
out the years humor has been the
response of the human spirit to
tyranny. And as people in the
past have desperately needed
laughter, so too we need it today.

"The purpose of a liberal educa-
tion," declared Mr. Hayes, "is to
develop the full resources of the
human spirit and to dedicate them
to the highest uses. Among these
resources is a sense of humor
not the grandest of the powers of
men but one of the most human. It
binds heart to heart in fellowship
and is the touch of nature that
makes the whole world kin."
Speaking to the members of the
class of 1951, Mr. Hayes reminded
them that they will stand in need
of humor after the 'high spirits of
youth are gone and they are beset
by the burdens of life.

Humor brings "individual coun-
terpoise." It is an attitude not of
tolerance merely, but also of ac-
ceptance. The humorist realizes
what the world is like, is aware
that he lives in it, and accepts it.
The words of the shepherd in "A
Winter's Tale" might well be ap-
plied to humor: "This is fairy gold,
boy, and 'twill prove so. Up with
it, keep it close."

Whirlwind Whimsey

Agnes Scotters Busily Tell
Of Weekend Social Whirl

By MARTHA FORTSON

Boy, it's bad to be left in your room on the weekend with nothing to
do. And it's particularly bad at Agnes Scott, since you have to listen
to the different girls tell about their thrilling dates. For example,
Doris Clingman and Rosalyn Kenneday have been busily describing
their lovely evening at the Naval Officers' club, while Dot Weston tells
about the costume parly at the North Ave. Presbyterian church, and
Mary Anne Wyatt exclaims over the Mechanics ball at Tech.

Some girls were certainly impressed with the concert last Saturday
night as Miriam Runyon, Helen Jean Robarts, and Phyllis Galphin
were. Anne Parker was also jabbering about last Saturday night, but
she went to the Psi Omega house dance.

Other girls clanked by the door in high heels, wearing their best
suits. These, no doubt, were headed home think of that home-cook-
ing and that certain fellow. Among this group were Jane Puckett,
Betty Moyer, Eleanor Inman, Elaine Blaine, Mattie Hart, Florence
Worthy, Ann Potts, Jody Horn, Frances Summerville, Jackie Pfarr,
Margaretta Lumpkin, Miff Martin, and Pris Sheppard. Marie Stow < Mrs
went to visit friends at Shorter, Betty Moon went to the mountains,
Dot Oatley went to the Georgia-Alabama game, and Louise Jett went to
Centre's homecoming.

Mary Lindsay could hardly quit talking about how excited she was
when the Emory Phi Delts announced that she was their new sponsor.
Seems Mary attended the frat's Halloween party, and when the broth-
ers began to 'talk about their new sponsor's being from Agnes Scott
and Griffin you just imagine Mary's amazement and excitement when
she realized she was the one! Miff Martin also had a thrilling experi-
ence. The Tech SAE's gave her a cup with her name and the frat
crest on it as a token of their gratitude for Miff's help during rush
week. Another thrill was Carolyn Barksdale's when she got a frat pin.

Then a whole bunch of girls were talking at once about the interfra-
ternity sing at Emory. The Phi Delts won, with the Sigma Chis'
coming in second and the ATO's third. Among the girls who went were
"Bo" Hancock, Carol Solomon, Margie Thomason, Barbara Caldwell,
Margaret Walker, Jane Hook, Patt Martin, Bev Olson, Winnie Stro-
zier, Dot Duckworth, Mary Ripley, Nancy Hobbs, Shirley Ford,
and Neil Floyd. Last but not least, Louise Moore and Elinor Taylor
were comparing notes on the house dances they attended.

Janis to Perform
On Music Series

Byron Janis, 22-year-old pianist
who is the only pupil of Horowitz,
will play on the Atlanta Music
^lub series at 8:30 p. m., Nov. 20.
at the Atlanta Woman's club.

Mr. Janis is a veteran of many
coast-to-coast peVformances, hav-
ing played with the New York Phil-
harmonic, Boston Philharmonic,
Philadelphia, NBC Symphony, and
Cleveland Symphony orchestras.

Although no single tickets to
the performance are available,
Mrs. Walter Spivey, president of
the Atlanta Music club, announces
that there are a very few tickets
for the remainder of the entire
series left.

A. A. Announces Plans
For Informal Frosh Party

Tentative plans have been an-
nounced for the party which Ath-
letic association will give for the
freshmen Nov. 18. There will be a
square dance in the gym, after
which everyone will adjourn to

mallows and sing. The occasion is
to be informal, so skirts and sweat-
ers will be in order.

# NoV Outnumber
'Ayes' in News Poll
On Debate Question

According to a poll taken on the
Agnes Scott campus last week, stu-
dents are opposed to the idea of
forming a union of non-Commun-
ist nations separate from the Unit-
ed Nations. Twenty students, rep-
resenting all classes, both board-
ers and day students, expressed
their opinions to News reporters,
and the "no's" on this national
debate question far out-numbered
the "ayes."

Phyllis Galphin, president of the
junior class, said, "No! That would
be inviting disaster. There could
be no peace agreements if all the
nations were allied against each
other."

Senior Eliza Pollard stated, "No.
They should get around the veto
power some other way."

"No, because this would defeat
the purpose of the United Nations,
which is trying to get everybody
to work together. I think we
shquld try to work through the UN
and not outside it," said Charline
Tritton, sophomore day student.

Fourteen other students partic-
ipated in the poll.

Emory, ASC Will Combine
Murder With Comedy In Play

By Sylvia Williams

What happens when 12 individuals of various and extreme
personality types are summoned to serve on the same jury is
the hilarious situation the new Blackfriars-Emory Players'
production presents.

The play, "Ladies of the Jury" by Fred Ballard, is the
recount of a murder trial, comedy

style. The defendant is French
and "a beautiful Broadway show
girl" charged with the murder of
her husband. Her "peers" include
a delightful hodge-podge of char-
acters who argue, disagree, and
create a hung jury which keeps
them at the court scene overnight.

The part of Mrs. Crane, "weal-
thy, refined, ultramodern society
woman" is played by Sally Jack-
son. LaWahna Rigdon plays
Yvette Yvet, the defendant. Bar-
bara Futral is the girl just out of
college, "but not a flapper." Mary
Stubbs plays Miss Pratt, the "tall,
prim, intellectual spinster." May-
me Mixter, "a slangy, hard-boiled,
flashy box office queen," is played
by Adelaide Ryall. Other char-
acter parts will be done by Agnes
Scott students Amy Jones, June
/Carpenter, Edith Sewell, Winnie
Strozier, and Theresa Dokos.

Emory university students Don
Brooks, Edgar Boling, Marvous
Mostellar, Bob Wester, Lane John-
ston, Randy Malone, Charles Jack-
son, Ellis Reese, Bill McKenzie,
Carl McNair, Franklin Jackson,
and Jim Segars will play the male
roles.

"Ladies of the Jury" is the first
play to be given under the new
system that is a merger of the
Agnes Scott and Emory dramatic
clubs. George Neely, director of
the Emory Players, is directing.
Future plans include more joint
productions.

The play will be presented at

Emory in Glenn Memorial audi-
torium Nov. 16-17, and at Agnes
Scott in Gaines chapel Nov. 22.
There will be some reserved seats
here, and all seats for the presen-
tation at Emory will be reserved.
Tickets will be on sale in Buttrick
lobby for the Agnes Scott per-
performance. Both performances
will begin at 8:30 p. m.

English Debate Tomorrow

The English debaters will arrive tomorrow for a contest
with two Agnes Scotters, Cissie Spiro and Susan Hancock.

Cissie, debate chairman, has announced that a debating pro-
cedure different from last year's will be used in tomorrow
night's discussion. She believes that the new method will
make the debate more relaxed and

will create a more friendly feeling
with the audience. It will begin
with four main speeches two
by each side. There will
be questions and the audience may
make contributions. There will be
one affirmative rebuttal and one
negative rebuttal, which will be
followed by a vote of the House.

The debate will begin at 8:15
p. m. in Maclean chapel. Ernest
Alwyn Smith and John Gwynn
Williams will take the negative
side of the question, "Resolved:
that the United Nations is a good
international debating society, but
not effective as world govern-
ment." Cissie and Susan will de-
bate the affirmative.

A banquet will be given in hon-
or of the English guests at Plan-
tation Cottage tomorrow night at
6 p. m. by Pi Alpha Phi, Agnes
Scott debating society.

Mr. Smith attends the medical
school of the University of Bir-
mingham. During the war he
served as a lieutenant in the Roy-
aL Marines in Holland and Ger-
many.

the dining hall by Dr. James R.
McCain, president'. This will in-
clude a description of the banquet
room, guest and faculty rooms,
main hall, and the construction
and cost of the building.

Hughes Spalding, Atlanta law-

in Atlanta, and he will be followed
by a talk on "Agnes Scott and
its services" by John A. Sibley, a

member of the board of trustees.

After these varied talks there
will be the unveiling of a portrait
of Mrs. Evans. This portrait was
painted from a photograph of Mrs.
Evans when she was in Atlanta.
It will be unveiled by James F.
Alexander of the board of trustees
of the Whitehead Foundation.

The services will end with the
dedicatory prayer by Dr. Wallace
M. Alston, vice president, and will
be followed by an informal recep-
tion.

Cottage Bulletin Board Yields Startling Story
Of Life As 'Mother to Ten Crazy Collegiates

Have We the Right?

"Whom did you vote for this time?"

"Me? Oh, I didn't vote. Fact is, I've never voted. I'm only 21,
and I didn't get around to registering. Course in Geor-
gia you only have to be 18. I must do that next year I just
can't seem to remember it."

Another election is over. We can relax and forget about our
state, our nation, and our world until next year, when we will
again argue madly over this candidate and that and when
the election is over, we will say, "WHO got elected? How
horrible! I certainly don't like him!"

Have we the right? As citizens of the United States of
America, it is our privilege, and duty to vote for the candidate
of our choice. If we do not make use of that privilege, we
have no right to criticize the party or politician in power.
Our only means of showing our approval or disapproval of
a policy, whether it be local, national, or international, is by
our vote.

Moreover, this is not enough. If we blindly ignore possible
candidates and their progress or degeneration, except during
the few weeks preceding election time, we cannot possibly
be aware enough to know for which candidate to vote. To be
oblivious to this, to ignore the responsibility which is ours
as citizens this is what leads a nation from democracy to
dictatorship. A. B.

A BEDTIME STORY

(Not to be confused with Good Night, Irene.)
An Exclusive Interview by I. Hope Thisworks

Once upon a time there lived ten maidens in a tumble down
shack on S. Candler street. They were truly remarkable girls
lovely to look at, delightful to know, and while I can't
speak from experience about their kisses, I have an idea they
weren't exactly (you should pardon the expression) frigid.

Uh well ... on with the story.
It seems there was an old crone
living with them whom they call-
ed "Mother" (I suppose because it
sounded more refined than "the
old woman" or "hey you") who
was an irritable old goat and
looked like the wrath of the gods.
But she was not always thus!
When the maidens first hired her
to make coffee for them, she was
young and gay; however, after a
couple of months she went into
a sudden decline and no one ever
could get the dope on just what
happened.

Caught Unawares
That is, until this clever repor-
ter caught her unawares and us-
ing methods known only to him
drug the story from her. And this
is what she told him.

"I'm dead. Just dead!" she sigh-
ed. "A long time ago when I oc-
casionally got a good night's sleep
I was as frisky as the proverbial
colt, but now I can hardly drag one
wedgie in front of the other.

With this she collapsed in the
nearest chair and it was necessary
for the reporter to encourage her
with a couple of quick kicks be-
fore she would continue.

"You see every night about 11:30
or so I would decide to go to bed
and hardly would I get myself
stretched out before 'IT' would
begin."

"IT?" he said with lifted eye-
brow.

"Yes, IT," she replied and ex-
plained. "First there would be a
clatter, clatter, clatter up the
stairs. Then BANG! the back
door would slam. Immediately

exclamations of "Marvelous time!'
or 'Ugh! what a drip," or 4 Hey
look I'm pinned," issued forth.
The call to arms would be answer-
ed from various parts of the house.
Then clatter, clatter into the john.
A moment of silence. A roar. ( John
being you-know-whated.) Clatter,
clatter down the hall . . . Silence.
Then clatter, clatter, clatter up
the steps. BANG! Shouts. An-
swers. Clatter. Silence . . . Then
clatter, clatter, clatter. BANG!
and so on. This would be repeated
from one to ten times . . . Well,
after awhile the nightwatchman
would clatter up the steps and
lock the door. 'Ah,' I'd sigh, 'they
are all in.' "

The reporter sighed too, just to
show he understood.

Tub Troubles

"But then," she said with a look
of agony," someone would decide
to take a bath and would bring
her roommate and a couple of
friends along to help her. The run-
ning of water would be accompan-
ied by much Shattering and gig-
gling. And usually a search would
be conducted by one girl for her
calomine lotion . . . Well, affer the
bath routine things would kind of
settle down; and, unless there was
a fire drill or a few alarm clocks
ringing, I'd doze off. Of course
about 4:30 a. m. the steam would
come on with a mighty clanging
and then the next thing I'd know
it would be 7 a. m. and my alarm
would be ringing. Another day
and not even a good dream behind
me!"

At this point it was necessary
for the reporter to give her a

W. Lippman Evaluates Decision
To Aid Europe Instead of China

(A Release from the "Ladies' Home Journal")

"The crux of the controversy is whether it is in fact true
that the United States is not strong enough to reinforce Eu-
rope and to intervene on the Asiatic mainland at the same
time." This statement, by Walter Lippman, is part of his eval-
uation of the government's decision to aid Europe at the ex-
pense of withdrawing from China

in an article called "Let's Face It
and Get On" in the November is-
sue of "Ladies' Home Journal."

In his analysis, Mr. Lippman
states, "To those who say we could
and should have done that, the an-
swer, I believe, is that even in
1944, when we were fully mobilized
and had 90 divisions, an enormous
air force, and the greatest fleet in
the history of navies, we took
care not to engage the main force
of the Japanese army until the
German army had been defeated.
Now we have no big allies, and the
armies of the Atlantic community
are outnumbered by the armies of
the Communist orbit. Mr. Church-
ill, speaking of Europe alone, says
we are outnumbered seven or eight
to one. In Asia, the ratio against
us is even worse. . . "

"What then, the reader will ask,
do I think American policy in Asia
should be? . . . We should seek
agreement with them (leading
friendly powers in Asia) on all Far

Eastern questions, on the future
of Korea, on Formosa, on the Jap-
anese treaty, on China and the
United Nations."

"A policy of concert would mean
that we undertook nothing inside
Asia which has not been approved
in advance by the free peoples of
Asia. It would mean that in ques-
tions which concern them more in-
timately than they concern us
the treatment of Communist Chi-
na, for example we would let
them lead, and we would follow."

"I think that a policy of concert
in the Far East is all that we can
afford. I think also that were we
much more powerful than we are,
it would still be the wisest course
for us to take in Asia. For while
we shall never overawe and dom-
inate the peoples of Asia, we
might, if our motives are pure and
our manners are suitable, begin to
reduce their suspicions and then to
earn their confidence; and we
might end perhaps by winning
their friendship."

transfusion of black coffee before
she could go on.

"Course I'm not the only one,"
she assured him, "who had trou-
ble trying to sleep. Occasionally
some or the girls would try to go
to bed early not often, you un-
derstand, but occasionally and
unless they were stone deaf they
found it pretty difficult to get
forty winks before 2 a. m. But it
never seemed to bother them and
that's what really got me . . . They
could stay up all night and go all
day, and I'd say to myself 'If they
can take it why can't I?' After all
they had to go to classes and study
all day and all I had to do was
dole out a few dollar bills and read
people's post cards. They had to
worry about test grades and where
their next date was coming from
and all I had to worry about was
them (and a few financial prob-
lems).

"So you see it dawned on me
that since I couldn't keep up with
them and their wild, young life
I MUST BE GETTING OLD!!!
And the shock," she sobbed, "near-
ly killed me."

While the reporter sat wiping
away his tears and blowing his
nose, the 6ld hag got up and sfhuf-
fled off squeaking idiotically,

"Oh I'm weary! Weary! Weary!"

Is this not truly a sad story? ? ?

Letter From Martha Brings
Latest Weekend Gossip

By Martha fortson

Dear Scottie,

I have loads to tell you this week. Everyone is certainly busy doing
this thing and that.

You probably know that Tech played V. M. I., Saturday. Beatrice
Daniel, Margie Mayfield, Jackie Josey, Joen Fagan, Betty Lam, Dot
Oatley, Carolyn Barksdale, and Kate Oakley all went to the game. I
guess you remember Adaline Miller and Martha Norton. They had
Saturday well filled- with the football game and a Chi Phi party that
night. While I'm writing about Tech activities, the Tech Naval
R. O. T. C. formal was just wonderful though crowded. Carolyn
McElveen, Dot Hardin, Kay Krauth, Ann Cooper, Barbara West, and
Joyce Monger sported their formals for the Tech men. The Tech frats
did some entertaining Friday night. Virginia Floyd, Sue Dodson, and
Georgie Buchanan went to the SAE house dance, while Mary Ann
Wyatt and Pattie Morgan attended the KA's party.

It has turned cooler this week-end, but some people don't seem to
mind the weather. Kathleen Stout and Anne Sylvester went on the
Emory Chi Phi hayride to Stone Mountain, while Mary Lindsey and
Virginia Claire Hays went on the Emory Phi Delt house party; and
Roberta Williams and Frances Cook attended the Emory SAE hayride.
However, those that attended ^the Sigma Chi pa jama party wore wool
pajamas and night shirts. Connie Jacob, Betty Nell Scott, Frances
Summerville, Margie Thomason, Patt Martin, Jody Horn, and Charity
Bennett were all warmly clad for this party. Do you remember

Well to begin again I was interrupted by some freshmen, who
were exclaiming over the Cotillion club formal. Jackie Josey, Nancy
Lee, Carmie Thrasher, Florrie Flemming, Gwyn Davies, Gloria Price,
Gail Rogers, and Ginny Guardia had a wonderful time.

Of course, there were a lot of out-of-town guests on campus. Noel
Barnes, Anne (Dalton) Jones, Louise Ross, and Betty McLellan enter-
tained visitors. Among the crowd who enjoyed the week-end off
campus were Rosalyn Kenneday, Flo Hand, Kathie Amick, Betty Anne
Green, Joan Wilmon, and Ellen Prouty.

Well, I guess that's about all the news. I did run into Lila Kate
Parramore, who was excited over the PiKA "casino party." Lila Kate
said that Sue Peterson went over to the Delta Tau Delta house Friday
night and that Peggy Hooker and Margaret Cousar were looking for-
ward to the Emory Presbyterian c'hurch's "rock party."

Be good, and don't study too hard. I'll write again next week.

Love, Martha.

P. S. Edith Petrie just came in wearing an ATO pin, which she got
Friday night. She said Andrea Dale got a ring Saturday.

Abstract Art

By Clairlis Eaton

Colorful abstracts and semi-ab-
stracts characterize the Carl Nel-

ed on the third floor Buttrick.
Called "one of Boston's leading
abstractionists and finest teach-
ers," Mr.' Nelson pictures many
beautiful scenes including pencil
sketches, pen and ink drawings of
flowers, sailboats, and birds.

Possibly the most striking works
on exhibition are "The Head of
Christ" with the crown of thorns
and mantle in vivid colors, and
"Fireflies' done in many grada-
tions of blue water colors.

The exhibit has attracted many
prominent visitors including E. R.
Hunter of the Atlanta High Mu-

ject of the paintings. Before the
exhibition ends on November 22,
Mrs. Marjorie Conant Bush-Brown

Seniors Defeat Freshmen 3-1;
Juniors, Sophomores Tie 0-0

By Anne Brooke

"Our team is red hot. Your team is ice cold," and so were
all of the spectators as the seniors defeated the freshmen 3-1
and the juniors and sophomores fought to a tie with a cold
wind whipping across the hockey field last Friday afternoon.
Virginia Feddeman scored once for the seniors with Jenelle
Spear making the other two tallies.
Judy Prornnitz gave the freshmen
their only goal of the afternoon,
but the play of Sue Born as goalie
was outstanding. The juniors and
sophomores got off to a fast and
furious start, but neither was able
to score. Earlier last week in a
make-up game the seniors and ju-
niors played to a 1-1 tie with Jane
Windham and Betty Esco making
the goals. Anne Potts and Mary
Ann Wyatt led the sophomores to
a 2-0 win over the freshmen.

Senior players were Jenelle
Spear, right wing; Virginia Fed-
deman, right inner; Jimmie Anne
McGee, center forward; Julie
Cuthbertson, left inner; Liza Pol-
lard, left wing; Wilton Rice, right
half; Marjorie Stukes, center half;

Esco, right back; Barbara Stain-
ton, left back; Barbara Quattle-
baum, goalie.

Playing for the juniors were
Barbara Grace, right wing; Lan-
dis Cotten, right inner; Jane Wind-
ham, center forward; Margaretta

Sophomore Team
Secures 43 Points
To Win Tourney

The sophomore swimming team
piled up 43 points to win the first
intramural swimming meet of the
year. The seniors came in second
with 34 points, and the freshmen
and juniors secured 28 and 22
points respectively. Outstanding in
the sophomore lineup were Margie
Thomason, racing; Sarah Hamil-
ton, form; and Keller Henderson,
form and racing. Nena Hale, sen-
ior, led the field in diving. The
comic skits and relay were espec-
ially good.

'Barbara Brown, Sally Veale, and
Catherine Redles won the medley
relay for the juniors with the sec-
ond, third, and fourth places go-
ing to the sophomores, seniors, and
freshmen. Louise Hertwig, senior,
edged out "Brownie" Williams,
freshman, to secure first place in
the breast stroke form event. Mar-
gie Thomason came in first in the
40 yards free style for the sopho-
mores. Exhibiting excellent form,
Keller Henderson, sophomore, won
the front crawl form event from
Donna Limbert, senior, and Pat
Patterson, freshman.

Anne Baxter, Gayle Harbour,
Frances Cook, and Keller Hender-
son, sophomores, outswam the oth-

er three teams to finish first in
the free style relay. In the back
crawl form event Eloise Eubanks,
freshman, came in first with Jane
Newland, sophomore, placing sec-
ond. Nena Hale's diving for the
senior team won them first place
with Catherine Redles and Patt
Martin participating for the jun-
iors and sophomores. Margie
Thomason, sophomore, won the in-
dividual medley defeating Jenelle
Spear, senior, and Florrie Flem-
ing, freshman.

Miss Helena Williams, instruc-
tor in physical education, felt that
the form on the whole was very
good. It was judged on the basis
of coordination, rhythm and power.

Tonight at 8:30 p. m. the Agnes Scott campus will be host,
in Gaines auditorium, to the side-splitting trial of a "beautiful
Broadway showgirl," LaWahna Rigdon, charged with mur-
dering her husband. The actions and comical conflicts of the
12 delightful jurists in trying to settle the defendant's fate
form the plot of "Ladies of the

Jury," fall production of Black-
friars and the Emory Players.

The combination of murder and
comedy went over with a bang
last week when the play was pre-
sented at Glenn Memorial audi-
torium before two large and re-
sponsive audiences. George Nee-
ly, director of the Emory Players
and a member of the cast, is di-
recting this play, the first to be
given by the combined dramatics
clubs.

Female roles are played by Ag-
nes Scott students Sally Jackson,
LaWahna Rigdon, Barbara Futral,
Mary Stubbs, Adelaide Ryall, Amy
Jones, June Carpenter, Edith Se-

Spring Trip to Cuba

What could be more exciting
than an air-trip to Cuba in the
spring? Seeing Havana, the city
of contrasts of Old World charm
and New World modernism with

called Mrs. Evans' earlier days
in Atlanta and told of many gen-

A Thanksgiving Prayer

Dear God, this must be about the 20th time we have said a special
Thanksgiving prayer. This year we want to thank Thee again for
the turkeys and holiday, for the opportunity of travel and friends,
and for all those things we've been talking about ever since our first
Thanksgiving; but there are some other things, too, other blessings
which we may not have been aware of before.

We very humbly kneel before Thee to thank Thee for things like our
youth the joy of living which it brings and of believing in life, of
having interest and ambition and energy. We thank Thee for the op-
portunity of making our youth an eternal thing; we thank Thee for
thinking us capable of maintaining a zest for living which can give a
spiritual boost to others who will be getting gray along with us. May
we not fail in this trust. t

We thank Thee, Father, for our happiness and success, for trusting
us to continue to look to Thee and to grow spiritually even when life
goes our way. But we thank Thee even more for thinking us worthy
of that unhappiness, those disappointments, and those failures which
Thou hast allowed to come to us. We thank Thee that TJcou hast
judged us capable and of sufficient maturity to take these sorrows
from Thy throne and use them to become more mature, to gain a deep-
er insight into Thy goodness and Thy care. May we live up to Thy
hope for us.

Dear Father, we thank Thee for our love of our South and our
nation. We thank Thee for giving us the capacity for a love of the
South that is deep and genuine enough to see her faults, as well as
those of other sections, and to give ourselves wholeheartedly to mak-
ing her a place where Thy Kingdom would be welcomed.

We thank Thee for giving our nation a place of leadership and for
our privilege of living in the present. We become humble in the know-
ledge that Thou hast thought ujs fit to be those in whose hands lies
the outcome of this struggle for the survival of the world that is so
dear to Thee. We thank Thee for the challenge, and may we meet it
as Thy children should.

But most of all, dear God, we thank Thee for the message of Thy
Son and of the saving power of a faith in Him. We thank Thee for en-
trusting us wlfh this, the most important knowledge in man's store
for trusting us to be generous, to feel for our fellow man enough to
share it with him, to be unselfish in our devotion to Thee.

O God K Thy many blessings overwhelm us, our opportunities chal-
lenge us, our responsibilities awe us. May we keep the trust, today and
always. In Christ's name we pray. Amen.

Preston Makes Announcement
For McKinney Book Contest

The Louise McKinney Book award is presented each year
to the student who collects, from one May until the next,
"the most interesting and discriminating personal library and
who reveals real understanding of her books.' ,
Requirements for entering the competition are to collect

at least 15 books during the year
period and to enter by December,
the end of winter quarter, an-
nounces Miss Janef Preston, as-
sistant professor of English.

According to Miss Preston,
chairman of the Louise
McKinney Book Award com-
mittee, the books "may be inex-
pensive editions or second-hand
books; it is expected, however,
that the collector will choose, as
the foundation for a lasting libra-
ry, the best standard editions and
well-made books in good condi-
tion ... A collection may contain
gifts, or books acquired through
distributing clubs; but also the col-
lection is expected to give ample
evidence of the collector's own in-
itiative and discriminating choice."
The books may be in several fields
of interest, or in one special field.
Those interested in entering th~e
contest should see Miss Preston.

Students wishing to enter the
competition should give their
names to members of the English
department. The judges will ex-
amine the book collections in May
and book owners will then be
informally interviewed about their
books. The winner will be an-
nounced at Commencement.

The Louise McKinney Book
award was established as a me-
morial to Miss Louise McKinney,

who was once the professor of
English at Agnes Scott.

WSSF Campaign
Will Begin Dec. 1

The World Student Service
Fund drive, which will be the only
large charity campaign on campus
this year, will begin Friday, Dec.
1, with an address by Jack Glea-
son, southeastern regional secre-
tary of WSSF. WSSF is "the

books, and housing for students
and teachers in war-devastated na-
tions. WSSF "serves in Europe
and Asia without discrimination
as to race, politics, or religion."

Contributions during the past
two years have resulted in the
placement of 360 student displaced!
persons in 200 colleges and univer-
sities.

The Agnes Scott campus cam-
paign for WSSF will last through
Monday, Dec. 4. Solicitations will
be made by Lower house members

Tips on Stitch Witchery Help
Wardrobe With Custom Look

By Sally Bobbin

Dame fashion changes her decree from season to season,
but in one thing she is steadfast the importance of knit
wear in the college girl's wardrobe. So as you relax listening
to the radio or chatting with your friends keep those nimble
fingers busy creating the smartest knitted wardrobe on the
campus. Here are a few tips on

the best ways to use your knit-
ting tools and finish your garment
with a custom look.

Wherever possible a new ball of
yarn should be joined with a knot
at the seam edge. If it is neces-
sary to join a new yarn in the
middle of a row, the ends can be
spliced invisibly by threading the
new yarn into a needle and weav-
ing it back through the old yarn
for about three inches. Remove
the needle and give a slight pull
to straighten yarn. Leave short
end on wrong side of work and cut
off later when several rows have
been knitted.

It is important to get the gauge
recommended, that is, the speci-
fied number of stitches and rows to
the inch. If you knit tighter or
looser than average it may be nec-
essary to use another size needle.
It is a good idea to test yourself by
knitting a small piece about four
inches square. Measure off two
inches crosswise and lengthwise;
count your stitches and rows per
inch. If you have fewer stitches
than specified you need a smaller
needle; if you have more stitches
you need a larger needle.

As you are knitting if you hap-
pen to drop a stitch it must be
picked up and placed on needle.
Use a crochet hook to catch the
loose stitch and work it up on the
horizontal thread* of each succes-
sive row until you reach the row
on which you are working.

Careful blocking is essential if
you want your garment to have
and hold its shape. Before sewing
up seams: place garment on flat,
padded surface, wrong side up,
pin edges to the measurements giv-
en in the instructions (ribbing
should not be stretched), be sure
to use rust proof pins, keeping
them one fourth inch apart.

If garment is made in separate
pieces such as back, front, sleeves,
two identical pieces may be block-
ed at one time. Place a damp

cloth over the pieces already pin-
ned and press with a hot iron. Do
not lean heavily on the iron, but
press sufficiently to allow steam
to go through garment. Remove
pins when thoroughly dry.

To sew the seams, place the
right sides together and pin seams
so that ..all parts of garment are
evenly matched. Sew with the
same yarn used in knitting.

Thanksgiving
For These . . .

By Helen Land

Opening the pages of our cal-
endar, we see Thursday staring
back uncompromisingly at us.
Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving for what? As
we clutch for the tried and true
abstracts, they somehow melt in-
to the air. .Liberty laughs and
vanishes; peace backs away, still
waving.

Oh yes. We know they are
there. Somewhere. But the big
things elude us. Even our hap-
piness, if we look for it, is hard to
hold. And yet we are happy. Re-
member . . .

The day the side door of the
dining hall fell open to your impa-
tient push for the first time . . .

The feel of warm sheet's the
morning after the first frost . . .

The B you made on the paper
you were afraid to open . . .

The night you heard the London
Symphony play Tchaikowsky . . .

The letter that came with the
invitation for the big weekend . . .

The smell of last minute' per-
fume on cold air on your way to
Main for the Saturday night
date ! . .

The taste of the first "lemon-
goo" of the year . . .

The 8:30 cut which meant an
extra hour's sleep . . .

The sound of new taffeta being
pulled on for the frat dance . . .

The poem you discovered and
lingered on while flipping through
a long assignment . . .

The night the girls marched in
on your study with a birthday cake
and lime sherbet. . . .

The quiet moment of devotion-
al with your roommate before the
alarm is set and lights turned
out . . .

Little things. But they pile up
mountain high. For these, we are
thankful.

service Saturday.

Glides Stresses Leadership
At Mortar Board Service

By Ann Boyer

We are all potential leaders, and therefore must all strive
for the' qualities a good leader must have, said Miss Kathryn
Glick, professor of classical languages and literatures, intfier
address on leadership, one of the three ideals of Mortar Board,
at the Mortar Board recognition service in chapel Saturday
If we are not actually officers,

United We Stand

Columnist Challenges Board
In Ruling on UN Flag Flying

By Cissie Spiro

The Georgia State Board of Education has adopted a reso-
lution advising Georgia schools (and the public) to avoid
flying the United Nations flag. The board says that the
American flag is the only flag to which Americans can pay
allegiance and therefore should be the only flag flown.

then we are leaders in public op-
inion or in the choice of leaders.

The annual service introduc-
ing Mortar Board to new students
and presenting its ideals and pur-
poses opened with the traditional
Agnes Scott academic procession
to "Ancient of Days," and the pro-
cession was led by Noel Barnes,
president of Mortar Board, fol-
lowed by Miss Glick, the speaker.
Mortar Board History

Dr. James R. McCain, president,
led the prayer, followed by the
singing of "Rejoice Ye Pure in
Heart." Dr. McCain then gave a
brief history of Mortar Board,
stating that it was one of the four
leading honorary societies and be-
gan here as HOASC in 1917. It
acts as advisory council for the ad-
ministration and began the Agnes
Scott News as one of its many
projects.

Dr. McCain presented Noel, who
in turn introduced Miss Glick as
one well-qualified to speak on the
ideals of Mortar Board. Before
mentioning the qualities necessary
for a leader, Miss Glick stated
that "students recognize these
qualities in the leaders they
choose," and that leadership is a
"scarce commodity."

We in the United States must
realize our world position. We are
the leaders in our section of the
world and the most dependable
leaders in the United Nations. Our
country is showing support of the
United Nations in the meetings
of the General Assembly, in the
meetings of the Security Council,
and most important of all in Ko-
rea.

Flying the white and blue ban-
ner in the United States does not
mean that we must place the
United Nations before the United
States; flying the flag just shows
our support and interest in the
activities of the United Nations.
We in the United States (includ-
ing the people of Georgia) want
peace, and it is apparent that the
best way to get it is through the
United Nations. What harm is
there in paying so small a tribute
as the flying of 'the Hag to the
organization which is attempting
to bring peace to the world.

Peace missions go forth under
the UN banner; medical aid and

assistance is given under the UN
banner; persons all over the world
see hope and promise when they
see the UN banner; most impor-
tant of all, our soldiers are fight-
ing under the UN banner. We
should be proud of this banner
proud to have it fly near the Unit-
ed States flag.

Please write a letter or a post-
card to the Editor, Atlanta Jour-
nal (or Constitution) and tell him
that you would like the Georgia
Board of Education to reconsider
its stand. The editor needs to
know how the citizens feel before
he will take an editorial stand.
You need not be a citizen of
Georgia in order to write; just
consider yourself a citizen support-
ing -the United Nations.

Pi Alpha Phi

Betty Moyer, Barbara Brown,
Louise Hertwig, and Mary Hayes
Barber debated against the Uni-
versity of Virginia Friday on the
question, "Should the non-Com-
munist nations form a union sep-
arate from the United Nations?"
It was a non-decision debate.

Spanish Club

The Spanish club will have try-
outs Tuesday, Nov. 28, from 4-5
p. m. in the McKinney room in
Main.

According to Miss Glick, the
first qualification for a leader is
intelligence. Thus the primary
business of going to college is to
get the "very best education pos-
sible in four years and a thirst for
truth which cannot be quenched."
Along with intelligence, however,
must be morality and integrity or
honesty, so that intelligence can
be used for the good of the public.
She stated that it was difficult in
these days for a leader to be hon-
est, and that we as the public
make it so by using money, slan-
der, and threats to sway him from
his convictions. Thus a leader
must have courage to fight for his
convictions.

Faith and selflessness are also
necessary for a leader if he would
serve his public to advantage, as
well as self-control and vision.
"Personal magnetism is a great
asset," said Miss Glick, but it can
be dangerous in a democracy un-
less coupled with these other qual-
ities.

A man cannot lead his people
well, however, unless the people
also have qualities of vision and in-
tegrity. As a mob, people can
become dangerous. "Aristotle be-
lieved the life of the mind the most
natural, therefore the most valu-
able of man," she pointed out.
Miss Glick therefore emphasized
that the greatest safeguard of
our democracy is greater and more
liberal education, not just some-
thing that one stops at the age of
20 or 21. She closed her address
by stating that this was true be-
cause "great empires and little
minds go ill together."

The program closed with the
singing of the Alma Mater, and
the recessional music was the
Mortar Board song, "Thy Ideals."

Emory Push Ball Hop Shines
Brightest in Social Spotlight

By MARTHA FORTSON

First and foremost in the social whirlwind last weekend was the
Emory Push Ball dance. For an idea of this event, just picture your-
self dancing to the soft music of Bill Clarke's orchestra, surrounded by
many classmates in rustling, vari-colored taffetas, velvets, and satins.
Glittering fraternity crests are on the wall and the dance floor is a lit-
tle too slick, but not too crowded . Among the Agnes Scotters who at-
tended this dance were Bet Linton, June Carpenter, Dele Thompson,
Smokey Bowers, Taffy Merrill, Doris Clingman, Mary Ann Wyatt,
Barbara Caldwell, Barbara West, Patt Martin, Margie Thomason,
Jody Horn, Barbara Hood, Carol Tye, Elinor Taylor, Mary Burke, Kitty
Goff, Caroline Lester, Ginny Floyd, Joan Simmons, June Smith, Bar-
bara Moon, Ann Miller, Ruth Whiting, and just loads more!

Also in the spotlight, especially for day students, was Joan Willmon's
lovely dinner party last Saturday night. Anne Brooke, Betty Moon,
Caroline Camp, Regina Cantrall, Elaine Schubert, Marijean Alexander
and their dates enjoyed Joan's cooking. Then there was an SAE dance
at Tech which Nancy Whetstone and Beatrice Daniel attended, and a
Delta Tau Delta house dance which Shatteen Taylor and Louise Moore
enjoyed. Dianne Shell and Bonnie Sanders had a mighty fine time at
the Sigma Pi's weiner roast at North Fulton park.

Though Tech wasn't on the beam Saturday, many enjoyed the game,
like Edith Petrie, Dot Duckworth, Betty Ziegler, Jane Windham,
Barbara Grace, Carlene Nickel, Pat Fredriksen, Ruth Heard, Anne
Reeves, Jeanne Walker, Jean Askren, Susan Hancock, Lois Dryden,
Joanne Massee, June Carpenter, Ann Boyer, Kassie Simmons, and
Sybil Corbett.

In that same beam were Nell Floyd and Carmie Thrasher, who went
to the Penthouse Saturday night; Betty Holland, who spent the week-
end at Annapolis, and Ann DeWitt and Gloria Price, who attended a
dance at Emory-at-Oxford. Not to leave out the A. A. party on cam-
pus it was swell according to Joyce Munger, Pat Patterson, and
Kathleen Whitfield.

Among the migrating ones last weekend were Charity Bennett,
Jackie Josey, Marjorie Mayfield, Ann Baxter, Bertie Bond, Margaret
Walker, Helen Land, and Barbara Brown.

Seniors Conquer Sophs 7-0;
Junior, Freshman Teams Tie 1-1

By Esther Adler

The hockey spotlight was focused on sister class contests
last Friday afternoon as the seniors easily overcame the soph-
omores 7-0, while the juniors and freshmen tied 1-1 in a hard-
fought, well-played match.

In the first game the seniors outplayed the sophomores,
taking the offensive from the be-

ginning of play. During the first
half in three-minute intervals, the
seniors scored three of their seven
points. The second half showed a
similar picture, the seniors shoot-
ing four more goals to come out
victorious against no score for
their opponents. High scorer on
the senior team was Julie Cuth-
bertson, who made four of the
seven points. Jimmie Ann Mc-
Gee made two points, and a Mc-
Gee-Feddeman combination ra>n
up the final score.

An Even Match

The second game offered a more
even match. It was give and take
all the way with both teams scor-
ing in the first half. Shirley Heath
scored the lone point for the ju-
niors, and Arden Locher tallied
for the freshmen.

The starting line up for the sen-
iors was Jenelle Spear, right wing;
Virginia Feddeman, right inner;
Jimmie Ann McGee, center for-
ward; Julie Cuthbertson, left in-
ner; Betty Ziegler, left wing; Wil-
ton Rice, right half; Margie

Fried Chicken, Square Dance
Spell Fun at Freshman Party

By Anne Brooke

Heaping platters of fried chicken, mountains of brownies,
and an evening of square dancing spelled FUN at the Athlet-
ic association party for the freshman class. The only groans
heard came from those who had eaten too much and as a re-
sult found it rather difficult to keep up with the merry pace
on the dance floor.

The evening began with a buffet
dinner served in Murphey Cand-
ler. Fires blazed in both of the
fireplaces; and after the guests
had been served generous portions
of fried chicken, potato salad, slaw,
coffee, and brownies, they sat
down around the hearth to eat
and talk. When the last cup had
been put down and the last person
had settled back with a sigh of
contentment, the freshmen and

Barge-Thompson to Build
New Home for President

Pictured above is the architect's drawing of the new presi-
dent's home, which is to be constructed sometime in the near
future. (The only difference between the drawing and the
actual building will be the columns instead of the six pic-
tured here, there will be only four.)

Dr. James R. McCain, president,
stated that plans have been under
consideration for the last two or
three years. Sam Cooper, archi-
tect, drew the final plans; Barge-
Thompson, who built the dining
hall, infirmary, and are now en-
gaged in working on the science
hall, are the contractors. The
building will be constructed on a
cost plus basis, which means ex-
penses' and then a percentage to
the builder. The exact cost of the
house is thus not known, but so
far a gift of $50,000 has been ap-
propriated for the building fund.

The house, to be built between
the McCain and Tart homes, will
be 81 feet long. Among its many
features will be a total of five bed-
rooms, one of which will be in the

! Q* Complex

"The critical air that Agnes Scott students have about
everything could be most constructive, but instead it is dis-
gusting." This statement was made to me by a friend of Agnes
Scott College, a generous donor, and an intelligent woman.
I knew she was sincere.

Immediately I became more aware of this attitude on our
campus and, as a result, have become quite upset. You see
I love this college and dislike to hear anything which degrades
it but when it is true . . .

Some of us think of ourselves as the "superior intelligen-
tia" but we are not. We do have excellent opportunities
that others are denied, but that does not mean we are doing
a better job than they could accomplish. In fact, we of the
educated group are letting the "less fortunate" group down.
Instead of grasping all the opportunities for increasing our
knowledge, and thus becoming well-rounded and understand-
ing personalities, we tend to have a very condescending man-
ner towards others who come on our campus in various
capacities.

I do not believe we should "swallow" all that is said or
taught. But we should be grateful and should take advan-
tage of the many opportunities given to us at Agnes Scott.
If only we would be willing to listen and learn first, and then
apply our weapons of criticism afterwards! V. F.

Students at Prague Conference
Cheer Idea of 'Hands off Korea'

(This is the second in a series of articles about the Com-
munist dominated Second World Student Congress which was
held in Prague this summer. The author of this first-hand
account was a member of the three-man observer team rep-
resenting the United States National Students Association at
that meeting.)

By Bill Holbrook

From the beginning of the Second World Student Congress
it became apparent that the meeting would be dominated by
the thinking of the Soviet world. The first real example of
this came during the reading of the executive committee re-
port by Congress President Joseph Gorman.

The first reference to the war

in Korea set off a huge demonstra-
tion. At the mention of the North
Koreans the Congress delegates
most of whom considered the
United States and South Korea as
aggressors broke out into clap-
ping and rushed to the members of
the Korean delegation, lifted them
on their shoulders, and handed
them bouquets of roses. After
the clapping the majority of the
Congress started chanting "Ko-
rea" and the name of the Presi-
dent of the North Korean People's
republic.

At that point the entire North
Korean delegation, armed with
roses,- were carried on the shoul-
ders of the students through the
convention hall amidst chanting
and the play of floodlights. This
part of the demonstration lasted
some 10 and a half minutes.
Koreans Shout Defiance
As the Koreans some of whom
were in uniform passed the
desk where Robert West of the
NSA observer delegation was sit-
ting, they shouted slogans of de-
fiance at him. According to West's
description, "The faces of the Ko-
reans as they passed had changed
from smiles to a distorted sort of
frenzy." After sixteen and a half
minutes the chair requested that
delegates take their seats, but this
was entirely ignored as the dem-
onstration continued unabated. It
was only after about 20 minutes
of demonstration that the dele-
gates returned quietly to their
seats, and Gorman was able to go
on with his report. At the end of
the next paragraph of the execu-
tive report the President said,
Hands off Korea." Immediately
the majority picked up the phrase
and chanted it in unison for four
minutes.

The Scotch, who were dressed
in their red academic robes, re-
mained seated throughout this

demonstration, and could be seen
through the confusion of students.

Perhaps this would be a good
time to pause and explain who at-
tended the meeting. The Inter-
national Union of Students stated
in its official report that a total
of 1,036 delegates, observers, and
visitors were accredited. These
represented 135 student organiza-
tions from 78 nations.

"Democratic, Progressive"

The official American delega-
tion was composed of people pick
ed by the Committee for Interna-
tional Student Cooperation (CIS
C). They were granted 12 voting
delegate positions and should be
distinguished from the NSA ob*
server delegation. The CISC was
founded by a small group of IUS
proponents after the suspension
of IUS-NSA negotiations. This
organization has acted as the dis-
tribution center for IUS literature
and has served as the nucleus of
the "American Sponsoring Com-
mittee for the Second World Stu-
dent Congress." From the speeches
made by the official American del-
egation, the NSA group would ob-
serve that the delegation was com-
posed of "democratic, progressive"
students.

Similar left-wing organizations
were also present from Great Brit-
ain, Canada, and the Union of
South Africa.

And A Child
Shall Lead . . .

By Helen Land

Tinfoil . . . salted pecans . . .
mints . . . and mistletoe. Nice.
Strains of "Oh, Come All Ye
Faithful" . . . the nativity scene
... a prayer thanking God for his
Only Begotten. Fine. It's annual.
But does Christmas leave you a
bit cold? Or just indifferent? May-
be not too exciting past adoles-
cence?

Pyramid of Progress

As and if a collegiate develops
intellectually, she asks questions.
What about the problem of evil?
What can be the nature of God?
Is the idea of the Trinity per se
really important? And if she goes
farther/ sometimes it's farther
away spiritually.

It's easy to ask questions. Good
to ponder them. Harder to an-
swer them. Great minds of all
time have not solved the problem
of evil in the world. The great
mystics were contemplatives. But
not one-sided. Their ponderings
were a progress. This progress
was a pyramid^ the Upward and
the Downward way. Up to seek
the truth and God; back down to
face life and fellow man's need.
A Positive Attitude
Here at school we are beset in-
tellectually with spiritual com-
plexities. Facing them, we find ul-
timately that we can never com-
pletely know. Let us then be pos-
itive persons. Now at Christmas,
we can assume Christlike simplic-
ity and faith, remembering it is
written "a little child shall lead
them." Christ himself said, "Who-
soever shall not receive the King-
dom of God as a little child, he
shall not enter therein."

Grant us wide eyes and open
hearts.

McRae Attends Ohio Meeting
Of Churches of Christ, U.S.A.

By Ann Boyer

Margaret McRae, sophomore, was one of 40 college stu-
dents and 60 seminary students representing the Presbyterian
Church, U. S., who attended the Constituting Convention for
the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U. S. A.
These young people served as ushers for the morning and
evening sessions of the convention "

and had sessions of their own in
the afternoon.

Six thousand people registered
at the convention, held in Cleve-
land, Ohio, Nov. 28-Dec. 1. Mem-
bers of the council included 29
Protestant denominations and
eight interdenominational agen-
cies, such as the Federal Council
of Churches of Christ in America.

Dean Acheson, secretary of
state, addressed the convention
Nov. 29 in a broadcast from Wash-
ington on the Korean crisis. Ach-
eson termed the organization "an
event of historic importance."
Lowry "Outstanding"

Other speakers of the conven-
tion included Howard F. Lowry,
president of the college of Woos-
ter, Ohio, termed "outstanding" by
Margaret, on "The Christian Col-
lege and National Life." Mr. Low-
rey wil be one of the speakers at
the inauguration of Dr. Wallace
M. Alston as president next fall.

Harold E. Stassen, president of
the University of Pennsylvania,
took the subject "The Laity and
the National Council" for his ad-
dress, and also discussed the grav-
ity of the Korea-China crisis and
the proposed use of the atomic
bomb. Dr. Stassen said that "the

key to success in American for-
eign policy is to translate the
great moral precepts of our relig-
ion into specific action."

One of the principal speakers at
the afternoon sessions for the
young people was Dr. W. A. Visser
't Hooft of Geneva, Switzerland,
secretary of the World Council of
Churches, who spbke informally
on the history and significance of
the ecumenical movement. Dr.
Sarah Chakko, of Lucknow, In-
dia, president of Isabella Thoburn
college in India, was another
speaker included in the afternoon
program. Her subject was "The
Church in the -World."

Climax of the Thursday even-
ing program was the broadcast of
part of the convention over "We,
the People." The Archbishop of
New York spoke to the delegates
over short wave radio from Lon-
don, and part of Visser 't Hooft's
earlier address to the young people
was re-broadcast.

The concert of the Cleveland
Philharmonic Orchestra Wednes-
day night was a musical highlight
of the convention.

Margaret, who returned from
the convention Saturday, is vice
president of the Georgia Presby-
terian student organization.

Like Exotic Places?
Check this Trip!

By Clairelis Eaton

If you're not interested in eat-
ing at exotic places, or seeing
"South Pacific" or "Call Me Mad-
am," or gazing open-mouthed
"where the tall skyscrapers grow"
(remember the juniors' winning
song from Black Cat night?) or
sailing around Manhattan on a
boat, don't look any further. But
if these things appeal to you, read
and learn!

Miss Helena Williams, instructor
in physical education, and Miss
Octavia Garlington, assistant in
biology, plan to turn into* travel
guides as soon as spring vacations
arrive. March 16, they will ac-
company any and all girls to New
York on the "Sliver Comet" to
spend the holidays in the Big City.
At the moment, the arrangements
are tentative and there is still
time for anyone who wants infor-
mation or who has suggestions to
speak. Miss Williams will meet
all those who are interested, in
her office tomorrow at 5 p. m. If
you find it impossible to be there
at that time, speak to her or to
Miss Garlington.

Year before last a student won
several prizes on a radio program.
Who knows, maybe this time it
might be you who'll be driving
home in a new Cadillac that you
acquired on "Stop the Music."

Scores of Scotties Depart
For Gala Tech-Georgia Game

By MARTHA FORTSON

Came Saturday, and . . .

Boy, football is really in the air and it seems as though everyone
has rushed out to Athens to see the Yellow Jackets and Bulldogs
battle it out. This gala Tech-Georgia weekend started with a pep
meeting Friday night and will end with a dance at Georgia tonight.
Among the group that has departed are Sue Yarbrough, Carolyn
Barksdale, Louise Moore, Shatteen Taylor, Virginia Floyd, Mary Burke,
Caroline Lester, Alma Scoggins, June Carpenter, Barbara Brown,
"Smokie" Bawers, Mary Lindsey, Anne Potts, Betty Stein, Carol Lou
Jacob, Katherine Loemker, Anne Sears, and Helen Jean Robarts.

Harriette Potts, Dot Oatley, and Carol Jones are among the scarf
regalia, who are strolling around getting things ready for a big
Saturday night. They are going to the Emory Sigma Chi house dance.
Louise Ross and Jane Newland are getting things lined up to leave
for the Auburn homecoming. Anne Jones, Betsy Hodges, and Frances
Cook have already left for the game with Davidson boys. Aline Hight
is excited about tonight since she is going to celebrate her birthday, as.
are Virginia Claire Hays and Frances Sistar, who are, going to dinner
and then dancing. Some are planning to spend the evening at the
different frat houses. Nancy Whetstone and Margie Henderson are
going to the SAE house, while Llewellyn Wommack is going to the ATO
house at Tech, and Jackie Pfarr and "Bunny" Coley will be seen at
the Phi Kappa house.

Then there is that Friday night gossip. Jean Drumheller, Gail
Simpson, Caroline Reinero, and Elinor Taylor saw one of the most
important high school football games of the season Decatur versus
Bass. Dele Thompson, Carlene Nickel, and Doris Clingman thought
the Phi Delt house dance at Emory was swell. Adaline Miller, Martha
Norton, and Louise Ross really looked wonderful in their formals at
the Chi Phi dance. Adaline wore a white net dress, Martha a blue satin,
and ,Louise a white ballerina trimmed with feathers. Bet Linton and
Betty Holland really enjoyed the play at the Penthouse theatre Friday
night.

Flo Hand and Mary Newell Rainey went home this weekend, while
Betty Ann Green and Frances Ginn entertained visitors.

There's an added bit of important news to end with Alice Farmer
has a lovely engagement ring!

Christmas tree and all the trim-
mings! The storage rooms will be
swung wide open and all the dec-

All Athletic Groups
Except Dolphins

During the last week all mem-
bers of athletic clubs, with the ex-
ception of Dolphin club, have re-
ceived notices to the effect that
these clubs are being discontinued.
These sports will still be empha-
sized, however, and tournaments
held. Points will be given for ac-
tive participation according to
standards which will be set up.
Athletic board and the physical
education faculty feel that this is
a step in" the right direction, for
there has been a lack of interest
in the clubs for some time. Dol-
phin club, which has been very-
active and has a definite program,
will continue to function.

It is hoped that through this
change the athletic program will
reach more students, and that
they, in turn, will gain a better
over-all view of the opportunities
for participation.

Aflanta 1951 Concert Season
To Open with Shaw Chorale

By Sylvia Williams

The Robert Shaw Chorale, possibly the finest chorus of its
kind in existence, will return to Atlanta Saturday under the
sponsorship of the All-Star Concert Series. The concert will
be at the Municipal auditorium at 8:30 p. m.

The young founder and conductor of the Chorale and con-
cert orchestra, Robert Lavvson "
Shaw, works under the creed that
"music is one art the chorus,
the symphony orchestra and the
virtuoso recitalist." The creed's
concluding sentence is: "And we
believe that the choral instrument
should assume a position of re-
spect and musical responsibility
commensurate with the distinction
of its literature and comparable
to that of the major professional
orchestras."

Next Saturday the magnificent
singing instrument whose pro-
grams .have this dedication
"This shall be for music . . . These
songs for love of singing" will of-
fer the following program: "Re-
quiem .Mass in D Minor" by Mo-
zart, a group of "Carols, Hymns
and Choruses of Eastertide" ar-
ranged by Alice Parker and Rob-
ert Shaw, "Trois Chansons" by
Maurice Ravel, and two excerpts
from "Porgy and Bess" by Gersh-
win.

Organist E. Power Biggs

Just three days later the Geor-
gia chapter of the American Guild
of Organists will sponsor a recital
by E. Power Biggs at Presser hall.
Mr. Biggs will play "Concerto in G
Major" by Haydn, "Three Sona-
tas," Mozart; "Concerto No. 13 in
F Major" (assisted by a string en-
semble from the Atlanta Sym-
phony orchestra) by Handel; "A
Lesson," by Selby; "Toccata and
Fugue in D Minor," by Bach, "Lit-
anies," by Alain and "Variations
on a Noel," by Dupre.

Still another concert to make
the week one of music will be pre-
sented when Atlanta's own Sym-
phony orchestra, under the direc-
tion of Henry Sopkin, appears in
its sixth concert of the season. The

Library Receives
Wax Figure Display
Of German Manger

A German manger scene of wax
figurines has been on display in
the library. Mrs. Lucie Hess
Geinger, student in 1935-36 of
Agnes Scott, sent the manger
from her home in Germany after
one she had while in school was
so admired. The figures, which
are usually of wood, were made
by Mrs. Ruth Roessler, a friend
of Mrs. Geinger who studies
sculpture at the Academy of Arts
in Munich and in Berlin.

In the scene are the Virgin
Mary with Christ and Joseph, the
old and young shepherds, symbol-
izing the adoration . of both the
wise and simpleminded; the three
Kings of the east, each symboliz-
ing a race and one domain of hu-
man power: wealth, wisdom, and
soul. Mrs. Geinger sent a letter
explaining the German meaning
and use of the scene.

Forewarned, Forearmed

There is no sadder picture in any community than the man
or woman who drifted into an occupation without thinking or
planning and who finds out too late that his temperament and
talents and interests have fitted him for another. But fore-
warned is forearmed, they say. The Alumnae association,
working with and for the students in planning the Career
conference, is offering us the opportunity to be forearmed
against indecision and disappointment when faced with the
fact that the next September will be different from the
past 15 or 16 there is not the comfortable feeling in the know-
ledge that another year at school is on the agenda.

Perhaps the specific vocational field to be discussed at a
certain time does not appeal to us, yet there are similarities
in getting and working at jobs of all kinds. Then, too, inter-
est may grow with knowledge. We cannot afford to turn
down the opportunity to prepare for a satisfying life, not a
drab, unhappy existence for the half century ahead. Let's
have coffee at the Alumnae house tonight and talk about the
future. C. K.

Landmarks

Past and Future

The year 1950 has ended. In that mid-century *year we
saw the celebration of a Holy Year by the Roman Catholic
church; the severance of the thin line between cold war in
the UN and real war in Korea; the coldest and most snow-
filled early winter in years; and a Christmas marred by an
extraordinarily large traffic toll and the departure of broth-
ers and friends to fight once more for peace and Democracy.
It has been a year of fear and waiting, a year of hope.

In 1951 we are still afraid, and we have good cause. Our
country's manpower is deplorably inadequate, our organiza-
tion confused. Yet we must hope and at the same time face
reality. We must work for wisdom wisdom in awareness
and alertness of the world situation, in our inevitable or chos-
en part in it. In this latter half of the 20th century, a new
year, many decisions will be made and acted upon, with or
without our help and support but we, as part of humanity,
as a nation, and as students and individuals can do no less
than pray for wisdom and peace, grounding our hopes in
faith. A. B.

We Women

We are the same. And myriads

Coming after still will

Curl the lash and learn

To walk atop a pygmy

Skyscraper. To keep a stocking

Seam securely straight

Is no small art. And nails

Peel redly in a white

Hot tub. Countless hours

Languish in a cold cream

Jar and squirm in curlers.

Product perfect we then

Jerk on jeans upon

The moment, let the curls

Stream straight in thayride

Wind. For straw becomes

The sweater twice too big.

Of course we do not mind

Shagging with our shoes

Off. (These hose had lived

Too long.) And lipstick smeared

Is doctored with a Kleenex.

The .hours in a cold cream jar
Come back in carnations
Of one kind or another.

Prayer of Alumna Keynotes
Christian Association Meeting

By Mary Hayes Barber

That "nothing shall frighten us" was the prayer of Agnes
Scott graduate Lula Anderson, now executive secretary of the
Student YWCA, in one of the opening sessions of the Nation-
al Assembly of the Student Christian Association movement
at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, this Christmas. The
courage and optimism of this

prayer was suggestive of the whole
spirit of this conference of 1,300
college students facing what ap-
peared to most of us a third and
even more destructive world war.
Bet Linton and I were delegates
from Agnes Scott.

Perplexed and discouraged by
the confusion in the world and in
ourselves, we were not at this con-
ference looking for any easy cure-
alls, we were not to be satisfied
by any Pollyanna optimism; and
such speakers as Mrs. Vera Mi-
cheles Dean, research director,
Foreign Policy association, and Dr.
Henry P. Van Deusen, president of
Union Theological seminary, New
York, dared not give it. Speaking

North Koreans Condemn U. S.
At Red-Dominated Conference

By Bill Holbrook

The North Koreans got another chance to tee off on the
United States on the second day of the World Student con-
gress.

Immediately after President Groman finished reading the
executive report, the chairman of the Korean delegation was

recognized. He cited the fact that 1

ASC Campus Gives $615.18
For Combined Charities Drive

As a result of the combined
charities drive on campus Dec.
1-8, a total of $615.18 was con-
tributed by the students and fac-
ulty. Lower House was in charge
of collecting the money, and each
dormitory made collections, in-
stead of each class. By vote of
Representative council, all the
money is to go to World Student
Service fund, and this was to be
the only major charity drive on
campus this year. Sybil Corbett.

treasurer of Student Government,
headed the drive, and will release
a complete report following Junior
Joint.

Contributions in the drive in or-
der of amounts given are Inman,
$145.50; Rebekah, $104.16; Main,
$68.99; Gaines, $57.00; Cunning-
ham, $44.75; Mary Sweet, $28.19;
Boyd, $26.55; Lupton, $21.55; and
day students, $15.00.

The faculty contributed $113.50
to the drive, completing the total
of $615.18.

the 15th of August was the fifth
anniversary of the liberation of
Korea by the Red army .

He offered thanks to the "glori-
ious Soviet Union and to the great
father and teacher, Stalin," and
then launched into an attack on
the United States charging
America with preparation for war
and with armed intervention in
Korea. He then proceeded to dis-
cuss alleged atrocities.

At the end of this speech, the
vvhole congress with the excep-
tion of the western delegation and
the NSA observer delegation
moved slowly forward, keeping in
unison and shouting.

As he stood at the rostrum, the
leader of the Korean delegation
was presented with flowers, medals
were pinned on his chest and gifts
presented to him. At the end of
18 minutes of demonstration, he
was carried from the rostrum on
the shoulders of shouting students
who paraded around the meeting
hall for five minutes more.

At this point, I would like to
make some comments on the phys-
ical layout of the congress and
the procedure used during the de-
liberations. The physical layout
of the congress was impressive.
The meetings took place in the old
Exhibition grounds. Its buildings
were decked with the slogans of
the International Union of Stu-
dents calling for peace, national in-
dependence and a democratic in-
tegration.

The Czech Youth Organization
provided hundreds of messengers,
interpreters, monitors, waiters, and
guides who assisted the delegates
during the formal session, at their
meals, and their dormitories. In
addition, the main interventions,
or speeches, of the delegates were
available in English, French, Span-
ish, Russian, and Czech through
individual interpreters.

As far as the legislative proced-
ure was concerned, little attention
was paid to parliamentary proced-
ure.

Then, too, there was a very real
problem in a meeting of this sort

to engage in thorough floor dis-
cussions of issues facing the body.
The many technical difficulties of
translation and parliamentary pro-
cedure would have made a thor-
ough-going legislative process in
this type of meeting extremely dif-
ficult.

on 'America and the World Strug-
gle," Mrs. Dean gave a brilliant in-
terpretation and criticism of the
Truman foreign policy and Hoov-
er's "semi-isolationist" alternative.
She spoke of the temperamental
attitude of irresponsible youth,
comparing it with the older na-
tions of Europe in their defeats
and their victories.

She spoke of our own identifica-
tion with the reactionary element's
in Germany and Korea, our un-
just criticisms of our European
allies, the necessity for rearma-
ment, and what we as citizens
can do. "Protest everywhere you
are against encroachments on lib-
erty." "Recognize racial problems
in this country" because Asia
looks at us. These were two of
her most significant suggestions
for peace.

As we decided our actions for
the next four years, the question
of a just and enduring peace be-
came our main emphasis. It is
in Bible study, in working for eco-
nomic and political justice, in
working for freedom and equality
that we can achieve those condi-
tions necessary for a desirable
peace. Dr. Van Deusen in his
forceful way closed the conference
on the higher and final note that if
our attempts do fail, "if darkness
does close in on our world, the
one certain reality is the Church."
To boys who were leaving in a few
months for Korea, to those of us
who recognize the possibility of de-
feat and the loss of our valued
freedoms, his address gave us
something strong and impregna-
ble, something necessary for any
valid sense of a future.

Unique Ten Club
Includes McCain
As Group Member

The Ten club, unique Atlanta
literary group, numbers Dr. James
R. McCain, president of Agnes
Scott, among its members.

This club was organized about
55 years ago by 10 Baptist preach-
ers; it received its name from the
fact that it only permitted 10
members and met only 10 months
out of the year, one member pre-
senting a paper at each meeting.
Now, however, since the club has
increased its membership to 14,
and since there is no meeting in
December, it takes about a year
and a quarter to finish the round
of book reviews.

The club originally was formed
only of preachers, but took in a
few laymen and for a good many
years there were no ministers in
it at all. Now, it includes in its
membership two ministers togeth-
er with men of other professions
educators, lawyers, and business-
men. The editors of both Atlanta
newspapers are members; so are
two of the Agnes Scott trustees
John A. Sibley and Law-
rence Gellerstedt. Czar of the club
is Dr. Marion L. Brittain, and the
scribe is Dr. Louie D. Newton.

This year the club is reviewing
Dickens' works each member
reviewing one novel.

Students, Faculty Repeat
Vows at Wedding Altars

The recent Yuletide season saw three faculty members
and two students repeat vows at the wedding altar. The first
of these weddings was that of Miss Edna Ruth Hanley, libra-
rian, on Dec. 16. Miss Hanley became Mrs. Noah Ebersole
Byers at a service performed by Dr. Wallace M. Alston in
the chapel of the North Avenue

Presbyterian church. Mr. and Mrs.
Robert T. Woodbury were the
couple's only attendants. Profes-
sor Byers is from Chicago and
Bluffton, Illinois. He served as
dean and professor of philosophy
at Bluffton College and for the
past year he has been visiting pro-
fessor of philosophy at Bethany
Biblical seminary in Chicago. Since
their wedding trip to Ohio, the
couple has been residing in De-
catur.

The second wedding took place
Dec. 23, and was that of Joann
Wood, who is a member of the
senior class. Joann married David
Sayles, a senior at Emory. The
wedding took place in Schenec-
tady, New York, at the Presby-
terian church. Joann's only at-
tendant was her sister, who wore
red taffeta and carried holly,
bringing out the Christmas theme.
The couple is living in Decatur.

The wedding of Harriotte Win-
chester, former assistant librari-
an, followed on Dec. 27 at St.
Joseph's Catholic Church in Ma-
con, Georgia. Harriotte was a
member of the class of '49, and
many of her classmates attended
her wedding. The couple is now
living in Auburn, Alabama.

Mrs. Rebekah Clarke, former
instructor of music, became Mrs.
Donald On' on Thursday, Dec. 28.
The wedding was in Tampa, Flor-
ida, at the Hyde Park Presbyter-
ian church. 'Mrs. Fritz Shaw, as-
sistant to the dean of students,
who served at the reception follow-
ing the wedding, said Mrs. Orr
looked lovely in a plum-colored
taffeta dress with pink accessories.
Mr. Orr is an architect and the
brother of ' Fritz Orr of Atlanta.
The couple is now living in Colum-
bus, Georgia.

Mary Charles Fitzpatrick, a
member of the junior class, also
chose Dec. 28 for her wedding day.

ATO Fraternity Presents
Service Award to Alston

Dr. Wallace M. Alston, vice
president, has been honored by
the Atlanta Alumni association of
the A. T. O. fraternity with the
Silver Circle certificate. This cer-
tificate was presented in recogni-
tion for 25 years as a loyal A. T. O.,
Dr. Alston's having begun his
service at Emory university. Dr.
Alston received this honor at a
luncheon at the Capital City club.

Mary Charles became the bride of
Dr. John Grant Wilmer at the
Cathedral of St. Phillip. The couple
had a wedding trip to New York
and is now residing in Atlanta.

Hunt Morris, Class of '49,
Is New Library Assistant

Hunt Morris, Agnes Scott grad-
uate of 1949, is the new library
assistant. While a student she

Chinese Student Relates Story
Of Past Life, Plans for Future

By Barbara West

Petite Bessie Nee, from China, has entered our college this
quarter as a freshman special student. Bessie was born in
Shanghai, China, but these last few years have been ones of
constant shift and upsets. During World War II and the years
just preceding, Bessie and her family of six brothers and
sisters had to move from Shang

hai to Hong Kong and back again,
each time trying to avoid being
caught in the war. Finally, in
September, 1949, Bessie, her fath-
er, and two younger sisters came
to this country.

Unlike many Chinese families,
Bessie, her parents, and brothers
and sisters have attended Ameri-
can colleges. Mr. Nee graduated
from Harvard, Mrs. Nee from Bos-
ton University. At present, one
brother is studying at the Univer-
sity of New York, one is at the
University of California, one sister
is studying dress designing at a
Junior College in California, Bessie
is .here at Agnes Scott, and her
twin younger sisters are studying
at Morningside College in Iowa.
Bessie transferred from Morning-
side to Agnes Scott, and says that
it is a much better and harder
school.

Bessie graduated from two high
schools, a distinction of which not
many of us can boast. She finished
high school in the British school in
Hong Kong, then came to this
country and went to high school in

Gala Yuletide Holidays Leave
'Ringing Memories At ASC

By MARTHA FORTSON

Christmas has come and gone, and the awaited holidays have passed.
The Christmas decorations are all back in their boxes, and books, home-
work, papers, and the like have taken their place. But there are many
wonderful memories left that certain kiss under the mistletoe, the
Christmas present from him that you weren't expecting, and loads of
other wonderful surprises and thrills! Jerry Keef, Anne Brooke,
Marijean Alexander, Anne McLeod, Mary Jane Largen, Noel Barnes,
and Marilyn Cox all have memories of the night they got their en-
gagement ring. Joann Wood and Mary Charles Fitzpatrick got mar-
ried and just imagine their excitement. A large group of girls decided
their future and accepted a frat pin. Gwynn Davies received a Sigma
Chi pin, Jeane Junker an ATO, Betty Ann Green a KA, Sybil Corbett
a Sigma Pi, Mary Ripley a Chi Phi, and Edna Furbish a Sigma Pi.

But that's all in the past, and back here at Agnes Scott the gals are
still enjoying the different frat parties. Doris Clingman, Taffy Mer-
rill, and Evelyn Bassett enjoyed the Emory Sigma Nu house dance.
Shirley Ford, Florence Worthy, Adelaide Ryall, Ann Herman, June
Carpenter, Jodie Horn, Anne De Witt, Margie Thomason, and Patt
Martin were certainly raving about the Sigma Chi party. Helen Land,
Susan Coultrap, and Harriet Potts are candidates for sweetheart of
this fraternity. The ATO square dance was a success according to
Shirley Heath, Caroline Lester, and Barbara Stainton.

Music Department Staff
To Perform This Quarter

This quarter's music program
plans include performances by
members of the music department
staff. Miss Roxie Hagopian, as-
sociate professor of music, will
sing in concert Jan. 30. Chappell
White, part time instructor in
music, will give a violin recital
Feb. 20; and Raymond J. Martin,
associate professor of music, will
present a program of organ se-
lections March 6.

Committee Selects
Best One-Act Play
For Next Production

A play writing course which of-
fers instruction in writing one-
act plays and which is taught by
Mrs. Frank Sewell promises to be
one of this quarterns most inter-
esting courses.

There will be a reading com-
mittee to judge the plays writ-
ten by the students and to select
one for production. Members of
the committee are Miss Frances
K. Gooch, associate professor of
English; George Neely, speech
instructor at Emory university;
Mrs. Richard Hocking, a former
member of Blackfriars, and a
member of the English depart-
ment. Mr. Neely will probably
give a production of the play at
Emory.

Season's First Basketball Game
Will Begin at 4 P. M.Friday

By Anne Brooke

The first basketball game of the season will be played Fri-
day afternoon at four o'clock. Opponents for the games will
be determined by the traditional means. Each class manager
will be blindfolded in a different corner of the gym and then
started toward the middle. The teams of the first two to find
each other will compete and tihe

other two teams will oppose each
other.

The series will consist of seven
games, several of which will be
played at night. The first six will
be inter-class and the seventh a
varsity-sub-varsity game. The var-
sity and sub-varsity will be chosen
by the varsity council, which will
be composed of the class managers,
a member at large from each team,
the school manager, and two fac-
ulty members from the physical
education department.

This year, for the first time,
captains will not be elected. In-
stead, the manager will appoint a
captain for each game, and at the
end of the season each team will
appoint an honorary captain. It
.has been felt that the jobs of man-
ager ^and captain overlapped and
that this arrangement would rem-
edy the situation.

No basketball is being offered
physical education classes, and no
academic credit is being offered
for participation. It is very im-
portant, therefore, thatvthe classes
urge participation and promote in-
terest and spirit. Each class has
selected one girl to be in charge
of publicity, but she will need the
wholehearted cooperation of the
group. Attendance at the games
will count toward the class spirit
cup.

Miss Llewellyn Wilburn n associ-
ate professor of physical educa-
tion, has turned over complete re-
sponsibility for coaching the teams
to the class managers. The man-

Former Oxford Leader to Speak
On 'Aristotle's Ethics' in Chapel

By Charlotte Key

A crisp British accent and a genius for relating the thoughts
and philosophy of the classic mind to the modern age are two
things, among others, which will come with Sir Richard Liv-
ingston to the Agnes Scott campus Friday. Sir Richard will
speak in regular chapel on "Aristotle's Ethics,"

Former vice-chancellor of Ox

for university and president of
Corpus Christi College, Oxford,
from 1933 until recently, Sir Rich-
ard is to be in this country for a
year lecturing at various colleges
and universities, being at Emory
this quarter. Dunring his stay
he will visit other southern col-
leges and Harvard and Princeton
universities.

Sir Richard is one of the world
leaders in the field of education.
Among his publications on the sub-
ject are "Thoughts on University
Education" and "Education for a
World Adrift." In books such as
"Pageant of Greece," and "Por-
trait of Aristotle," he has given
explanatory notes on various lit-
erary passages, showing what
there is in the ancients that is ap-
plicable to the modern time.

In Sir Richard's course in Greek
drama at Emory are Agnes Scott

Abram Will Speak
At Co-ed Pow-Wow

Agnes Scott students are join-
ing Tech students in a new discus-
sion group called "Co-ed Pow-
Wow." Tech, who has had a dis-
cussion group for a long time, re-
cently asked Agnes Scott students
to join them.

The new organization meets ev-
ery Friday night, usually at the
Tech YMCA. There is a local
speaker, followed by a period dur-
ing which all interested are asked
to participate in a discussion. The
whole program is very informal.

Plans for last Friday were con-
celed because of a confusion of
dates. However, this Friday, Jan.
19, the discussion will be at Agnes
Scott with Morris Abram, Atlanta
lawyer, as speaker. The meeting
will be at 7:30 p. m., in Murphey
Candler, and there will be refresh-
ments after the discussion.

professor of Bible, Eleanor Hutch-
ens, alumnae secretary, and stu-
dents Anita Coyne, Marjorie Fel-
der, Mary Lee Hunnicutt, and No-
el Barnes. According to one, Sir
Richard presents Greek drama
with the idea that its study is for
pure enjoyment, and among the
most interesting parts of the lec-
ture are his conternporary com-
ments.

TAX TO MEET 140 BILLION COST, DURDEN RAPS TAL-
MADGE TAX PLAN AS PHONY, UNIVERSAL RELIGIOUS
SPIRIT WOULD BRING WORLD PEACE, CEASE-FIRE
BID OKAYED IN UN these are signs of our times, revel-
ations of the present, prophecies, perhaps, of days to come.

These headlines were taken from recent daily papers.
Their accompanying stories and editorials were variously
illuminating, encouraging, disheartening, or confusing. In any
case, they were thought-provoking.

A complex world necessitates everyday detail that some-
times seems insurmountable. Today's subjects of timely in-
terest are a wave whose tendency is to engulf and confuse.

But of all days, we cannot pick the present one in which
to relax our minds. Our intuitive perception, our evaluation
of the importance of things must be a driving force, a guide.

In a week-day filled with lesson preparation, book reports
and papers, we must find additional time to give our minds a
chance to learn the shaping facts of a current world. They
must have a chance to form opinions on fact, not just on some
bulletin vaguely remembered from a seven o'clock news
broadcast. An intelligent understanding of the world pan-
orama as it is this week, this month, as it might be next week,
next month, is something we need as world citizens, as Amer-
icans, as state citizens, to help us grasp the significance of
our present times.

We would suggest a daily reading, at least a thorough
glancing-through, of one newspaper two if time permits.
We would also point the red arrow to dependable weekly
news magazines and summaries.

A mind capable of understanding deserves a chance to
understand. S. W.

Correction Called For

The News would like to correct the statement made in sen-
ior class meeting Monday that "we cannot announce" the top-
ics of the marriage classes in the newspaper. Unlike many
colleges, as your editor discovered at the National Student
Association Congress she attended, there is no faculty advisor
or censorship of the Agnes Scott News.

The only restraint placed on the editor in her decision of
what to publish is her judgment regarding what is worth-
while and her decision to follow suggestions which may be
offered. As the result of the expression of student opinion,
the titles will be published. C. K.

By Their Fruits

"Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."

What are you? You are your interests, your capabilities,
your goals, your values working together to make you an in-
dividual. You are a particular actor on Shakespeare's fa-
mous stage in "The. Reality Situation."

Some young girl once spoke of the character of youth
"Now we overact slightly, a little too gay, a little too serious,
but our performance will become polished."

Inter-Faith Council to Sponsor
Campus Prayer Day Jan. 30

By Barbara West

Each and every one of us has felt the force of the world un-
rest and turmoil in these last few months. Each and every
one of us wants to help our country and world; what better
way could there be than a day of prayer? The Inter-Faith
Council, composed of the presidents of the denominational
groups, is sponsoring a campus day

of prayer Tuesday, Jan. 30 from
7 a. m. to 10 p. m. Each denomin-
ation voted on the question in yes-
terday's denominational meetings.

The music room in Main will be-
come our Prayer Room for the day.
The Inter-Faith Council will place
several Bibles about the room, and
an altar will be in one end of the
room. Students and faculty are
asked and encouraged to come and
spend a few minutes in private
prayer and meditation any time
during the day.

Inter-Faith Council will conduct
the chapel service that morning
upon "Prayer." The power of
prayer is great; many towns are
sponsoring a daily time of prayer
for the world situation. Are we of
Agnes Scott any less concerned
than our hometowns and neigh-
boring cities? The highlight of the
day will be a starvation dinner
at the evening meal. The proceeds
will go to send food to others.

"I would that thou wert hot or
cold." The Christian Association
theme fits so well for the campus
day of prayer. We each have a rea-
son for praying to the God who
has given us so much and for ask-

Western Bloc Fails to Reform
Communist-Dominated I. U. S.

(This is the>last in a series of articles about the Communist-
dominated Second World Student Congress which was held in
Prague last summer. The author of this firsthand account
was a member of the three-man observer team representing
the United States National Students Association at the meet-
ing.)

By Bill Holbr 0 ok

Representatives from Western countries tried to reform the
Communist-dominated International Union of Students
but failed miserably.

The strategy of the eastern bloc seemed to be to show that
they had compromised on substantive issues. Western par-
liamentarians who questioned the
precedure, however, were branded
as obstructionists.

So, in effect, there were no com-
promises.

Western delegates realized that
the IUS leadership wanted to keep
at least one Western country in
the organization. By doing this,
the heads of IUS seemed to feel
that they could keep their group
from being branded as a world or-
ganization of Communist Students.

In order to accomplish this end,
the IUS leadership tried to split
the French delegation. They were
successful in luring the leadership
away from the delegation, and con-
tributed to the ineffectiveness of
the French delegation.

Thus, the attempts to reform the
IUS by the Western nations failed.
Like every Communist dominated-
organization on the international
scene in the post-war world, it 'has
been impossible to deal with them
in good faith without being step-
ped on and being used.

Consequently the Western or-
ganizations who are perhaps dis-

Emory Pika Formal Fashions
Perfect Evening for Scotties

By MARTHA FORTSOX

There's nothing like a formal dance to make a perfect evening. Dim
lights, all varieties of music, rustling skirts, orchids, and fellows in
tux set the stage for the Emory PiKA's formal dance last Friday
evening. This gala event took place at Peachtree Gardens.

The evening began with a banquet for the frat brothers and their
dates at the Ansley Park Golf club and was completed with a break-
fast at Tubby's Attic. Among the gals whirling on the dance floor
were Phyllis Galphin, who wore a short black strapless dress, and
lAlki Kate Paramore, who looked lovely in an aqua strapless trimmed
with black net. Also looking adorable were Betty Ann Green in a red
satin dress covered with black lace, and Ann Miller, who chose a white
net ballerina-length dress trimmed with sequins. All kinds of lovely
formals were worn by Roberta Williams, Carolyn Randolph, Carol
Edwards, Kathy Amiek, Patty Morgan, Frances Summerville, Betty
Finney, Louise Hertwig, Kitty Goff, and Mary Lou Kleppinger.

Frats Complete Agenda

Also on the social agenda last weekend was the Theta Zi house dance.
Dianne Shell, Sara Crew Hamilton, and Bonnie Sanders attended this
party. Kay Krauth and Donya Dixon enjoyed their visit to the Tech
Delta Tau Delta house. The Tech KA's entertained V. C. Hayes and
Lou Ross, while Betsy Hodges and Aline Hight were entertained at the
Sigma Chi hayride at Tech. The Chi Phi's also had a party which
Adaline Miller and Carol Edwards enjoyed, and the Phi Chi's had a
house dance which Betty Williams and Chris Allen attended.

Jane Williams, Julia Clark, Lou Ross, and Patty Morgan spent the
weekend off campus. Donna Dugger, Jinnie Brewer, and Sylvia Moutos
entertained visitors on campus.

Libby Shontz will soon receive red roses because she accepted a KA
pin last Saturday night.

The Spoon of Magic

By Helen Land

Addiction adds up to addiction, any way you view it. There
are those attracted by drugs, alcohol, knowledge, and even
men. M. A. is my weakness. Maybe it's yours, too. This is
not, as you may suppose, the goal which intellect compels one
ever onward to attain. Not wishing to master an art, we have
been mastered by one. Movie-ad-

Greek War Orphan Wants
Letters from AS Parents

Maria Da Ponti, the Agues
Scott campus' contact with Greece,
wants letters and pictures from
her foster parents. A. S. students
adopted the Greek war orphan
now in the fifth grade in school
in 1945, and have been sending her
money, gifts, and a few letters
since then. 11-year-old Maria's
mother and grandmother are still
living, but her father is dead.

Any one wishing to write Maria
should see her class president.
Maria writes her foster parents
regularly and often.

Will Present
"Pygmalion

"Pygmalion," the late George
Bernard Shaw's worldwide favor-
ite of stage and screen, and one
of Agnes Scott Blackfriars pro-
ductions last year, will highlight
the season for the Atlanta Civic
Theatre at the Atlanta Woman's
Club auditorium, Jan. 24-25-26-27
at 8:30 p. m.

Martha Gene Randall, young ac-
tress who has gained popularity
with both Civic Theatre and Pent-
house audiences, will play the lit-
tle cockney flower girl, Eliza. Her
co-star as the tempestuous Henry
Higgins, role made famous in the
movie by the late Leslie Howard,
will be Jennings Hertz, Jr., who
has recently returned to his At-
lanta home after two years in Hol-
lywood and New York. Margaret
Hopkins was Eliza in the Agnes
Scott production.

Leading featured roles in "Pyg-
malion" will be played by ACT

The Atlanta Opera Company, under the direction of Richard

Shadows

Strange when you try to analyze
it. A gigantic piece of white paper
with grey shadows running back
and forth across it. Hundreds of
eyes staring up at it in utter fas-
cination. Bodies slouch or strain
in chairs while minds leap up to
run around on the screen with the
shadows. Many mouths purse for
Cary's kiss, and backs straighten
as the noble Joan leads forth her
Frenchmen.

If madness, also magic. As you
and Jimmy watch the big pooka
leave, you know a loss the eye of
realism cannot measure. When he
returins, you find youjr dream
again. And who would not dance
in delight with Delilah around
the fallen king of beasts and 'his
stalwart slayer? Or cry with the
green-eyed Scarlet when she finds
she cannot re-awaken love? Or
would would you walk away with
Rhett?

"Going Home"

And as you leave the darkness
and walk down the street you're
Ginger floating with Mr. Barkley
down Broadway, or Olivia who's
"going home" from the pit and a
most trying experience. (This ad-
diction has its disadvantages.)

But the disease is delightful, and
taken in moderate quantities, its

cure is itself. Dosage one spoon
of good quality once (well, twice)
weekly. A magic formula and
more fun!

Girl Football Heroines Appear
On Agnes Scott Hockey Field

By Clairelis Eaton

If you see someone walking around campus looking as if
she's'playing halfback on a football team or as if she's prac-
ticing" soccer for the Olympics, don't think she's suffering
from a type of mental disease. She's merely a member of the
17-girl speedball class, and is showing off her newly acquired
knowledge of kicking, passing, '

running, and punting.

It's practically guaranteed that
after one quarter under Miss Hel-
ena Williams' care in the three
o'clock Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday class, you will be eligible
for the Notre Dame backfield. Ac-
tually you may also be asked to
play on a professional soccer or
hockey team.

What Is It?

Speedball, you see, is a com-
bination of many sports. The ob-
ject of the game is to get the bas-
ketball over the football touch-
down post, which is guarded by a
hockey goalie. You may only
touch the ball when it is kicked
to you as it is done in soccer. So
besides getting an occasional
bruised shin, you may become a
well-rounded athlete and gain
three hours gym credit besides
(that is, if you have an ulterior
motive).

"One and All"

There's never a dull moment.
Just ask Betsy Hodges. The other
day, as she guarded her own goal,
the action was concentrated on the
other end of the field. The re-
maining sixteen players decided
that "one and all" must particip-
ate. Betsy was enjoying a few
minutes of peace and quiet when a
thundering horde of ball players
approached in a planned offensive.
Betsy valiantly made a goal line
stand and held off "one and all."
And there are bruised ankles to
prove it.

So, you see, there never is a dull
moment, but there is room for any
aspiring Girl Football Heroine in
the speedball class.

Basketball Season
Offers Chance
To Show Spirit

Everyone seems to talk about
supporting the class athletic
teams, but no one does anything
about it. Now that the basket-
ball season is underway, it might
be a good idea to take a backward
look at the hockey season and see
if the record can be improved. The
freshmen led the field with 34
per cent of their class attend-
ing the games, the juniors and sen-
iors tied for second place with
26 per cent edging out the
sophomores who had 25
per cent. The record is not one
of which any of the classes can be
proud. A fresh opportunity is at
hand. What are you going to do
about it?

Basketball

The second basketball game of
the year will be played Friday
at 7:30 p. m. when the seniors
meet the juniors and the freshmen
play the sophomores. Everyone Ls
urged to come -and bring a date.

The badminton schedule has
been placed in the gym and the
courts will be open tonight for all
who wish to begin playing their

Paint Brushes, New Costumes
Tell of Junior Joint Approach

By Ann Boyer

Under the eaves of fourth floor Buttrick one can find one
phase of Junior Joint which one rarely thinks of until it is
seen with striking effect the night of the production. There
Helen Huie and Ann Herman, chairmen, in cooperation w;th
Jo Jordan and many others, are painting the backdrop, mar-
quee, and theater decorations for '
"Give My Regards to Broadway,"
production of Junior Joint, Inc. At
any odd hour of the day or night,
paint brushes fly back and forth
across paper to produce these nec-
essary prerequisites of a successful
performance

Whirring sewing machines give
notice of another aspect of prep-
arations for Junior Joint. Betty
Cheney and Emy Evans, with their
committee, are often seen around
campus with needles pinned to
their collars and thread streaming
from their skirts, from cutting,
piecing, and sewing costumes.
They never seem to get close
enough to reveal the colors of the
threads, however, so several sur-
prises are in store for the audience
on the night of Jan. 28!

Costumes and setting are now
in place, the curtain is drawn, and
then what appears? What would
the show be without the cast?
Kassie Simmons and Jinnie Brew-
er, directing rehearsals in the
gym, hardly have time to eat or
sleep, for show business is a full
time job for them. Included in
the cast are Randy Malone, Stell
Huie, soloist, and Jim Engle, from
Emory, as well as Hugh Smisson
and Bess Lundeen. Bess will do
a semi-classical ballet in the
Broadway production.

"Angel" candidates Marg Hunt,
Mary Jane Largen, Margie Thom-
ason, and Harriette Potts, backed
by their respective classes, are
having auctions, male pin-up con-
tests, telephone foils to raise mon-
ey for backing the production, pro-
ceeds of which go to World Stu-

A New Motto

In the opening sessions of the Student Christian Associa-
tion's National Assembly meeting during the Christmas holi-
days, the prayer that "nothing shall frighten us" was offered.
At a time when we are perplexed and discouraged by the
confusion of the world, this phrase might well become, as a
source of hope, our motto. Hope in the sense that as mature
students we will allow nothing to frighten us.

The pessimism during the past holidays was appalling. So
many people had the attitude that this would undoubtedly
be the last Christmas, and so many mothers who normally
would be violently opposed to their sons going away to war
said they might just as well enlist. We must never let our-
selves think defeat, for "as a man thinketh, so he is." If we
think defeat, then surely we will be defeated. And, we must
never think of fear. As our leader said in the last war, "The
only thing we have to fear, is fear itself."

Regardless of what tomorrow may bring, whether it be full-
scale war, bombs on our American cities, or an extensive re-
armament program complete with a mass exodus to the army
camps and navy bases, we should never be frightened. In-
stead, we must face our enemies with a renewed sense of the
worth of democracy, with a stronger faith in it, and above all
with a stronger faith in our omnipotent God. M. A. J.

"Behold I . . . knock. If any man open ... I will enter . . . "
I know; you're busy. We all are. With Junior Joint, Shake-
speare papers, biology tests. Five years from now it'll be

Let's Keep 'Em Full

The arrival of the Coke machines on campus is a time for
great rejoicing, but it brings to mind one question what
are Coke machines without Cokes? Perhaps the bright red
spots in otherwise uninteresting looking places may have
some aesthetic value but

This is speculation; however among traditions that abound in
this modern age, there is one to which the Coca-Cola Company
holds, that of requiring empty bottles in exchange for pauses
that refresh. Although each machine is supposed to hold
about 210 bottles, the Coca-Cola agent who services the ma-
chines believes in the value of following precedent. Let's
not forget to return those bottles. C. K.

Era of Coke Invades Campus
With Machines in Dormitories

By Betsy Hodges

Remember how we used to sit around in those bull sessions
and complain to the tune of "What we need around here
is . . . ?" One gripe we never seemed to miss was the conspic-
uous absence from our campus of the gracious and almighty
Coke.

Well, I was coming home from
the library the other night, about
to enter Rebekah, when I was con-
fronted by a mass movement in
the direction of the old cloak room.
I'll admit, my curiosity was cer-
tainly aroused by the eager faces
and clutched wallets.

Up on second floor a detectable
air of excitement had invaded the
stronghold of sluggishness, causing
sophs to rush about exchanging
dimes and quarters for nickels and
to run to join the ranks moving
down the stairs. But when I saw
the riotous feasts and joyous
drinking bouts in each room as I
walked down the hall, I realized
that the Era of Coke had at last
arrived.

More Than One

Not only Rebekah, but also Main
and Inman are the proud possess-
ors of big bright shiny red new
Coke machines. According to
Margie Stukes, our Student Gov-

Frustrated Writer Issues Plea
For 'Back to Lead Movement

By Clairelis Eaton, Guest Columnist

Who says fountain pens are essential to modern life? Who
says no one can live without one? Who, I ask, WHO?"

Sure, they may be fine when a millionaire wants to sign his
checks. They may look beautiful in glossy red and yellow ad-
vertisements, and they may give employment to thousands in
the .blue-black ink industry. They
may even conceal a dagger or se-
cret code in a trick cap for a smart
but conventional OSS or FBI man.
And no one can deny that they
certainly make wonderful gifts
(especially to the college student
who has been struggling with a
two-for-a-nickel pencil during
four years and who suddenly upon
graduation finds herself with 32
Parker 5Ts). All in all, the foun-
tain pen has its points.

But . . .

The Time is Then

Why is it that every time you
have two minutes and five history
discussion questions to go before
the bell rings, the pen runs dry?
And why is it that when you are
frantically taking notes in class
and find yourself completely "ink-
less," you shake the "empty" pen
and liquid (dark blue) squirts all
over your brand new rose cash-
mere? And how does it happen
that the pen full of indelible ink
with which you painstakingly took
three-million notes, suddenly be-
comes mixed with washable violet
and the rain immediately erases
all the collected "gems of wisdom"
leaving the cards with lovely baby
blue splotches?

One more question: Has it ever
happened to you that the very time
that person you've been dying to
meet gives you the opportunity to
do so by asking to borrow your
pen why does that fiendish
mechanism the fountain pen,
that is choose THAT moment
to start leaking over his hand-
painted tie? Ah another ro-
mance shattered!

So it goes one of the pieces of
college equipment has shown itself
to be a liability. It frustrates, it
humiliates, it stops functioning at
vital moments, and it's not as
good to chew on as is the pencil.
What we need is a "back-to-lead"
movement and a good five-cent
pencil on every desk.

ernment prexy, their arrival last
week was a mysterious, although
pleasant, event. Because of the
great demand, we requested them
from the Coca-Cola Company back
in November. Nothing happened
during the months of silence . . .
And then about Tuesday somebody
stumbled upon one, complete with
change-return thingomabobs and
a plentiful supply of ice cold you-
know-whats. It was then that the
all-campus movement began.

But to paraphrase on Horace,
human nature is never satisfied.
Yesterday the conversation ran:
"I just can't seem to get this skirt
zipped up. Whose idea was it to
get those old Coke machines any-
way?"

Study Organization Gives Long Term Pointers
On Wisdom of Going Abroad During Summer

(A Release from Travel & Study, Inc.)

Have you seriously considered going to Europe this summer? Travel & Study Inc an
organization for study abroad, of New York City, has analysed certain long term pointers
wff^r^rtby of attention m considering the wisdom of going abroad m times like

th Of e special interest to American students thinking about Europe this summer is an essay
contest on Paris sponsored by the '

French government. The prize
will be a three-months visit of
Paris. All information about this
contest may be obtained from
Travel & Study Inc., an organ-
ization for study abroad, 110 East
57 street, New York 22, N. Y.,
which will also be pleased to pro-
vide information about travel op-
portunities to Europe and Latin
America. A detailed brochure will
be mailed on request.

The conviction is growing in
Western European capitals that
there will be peace. The acts of
ordinary men and women are in
this respect significant.

Birthday of Paris
Look at the way in which the
French are preparing to celebrate
the 2000th Birthday of Paris. They
have planned evening concerts of
sacredmusicin La SainteChappelle
with floodlights illuminating the
radiance of its stained glass from
without, a special birthday song
to be composed and sung by Maur-
ice Chevalier, lectures at the Sor-
\yonne that time hallowed in-
stitution of learning, a jnedieval
fair to be held in the Quartier St.
German des Pres, a Montparnasse
week with young artists acting
as guides through the studios of
world famous painters and sculp-
tors and with displays and discus-
sions at the Eeole des Beaux Arts
and the Ecole du Louvre, a bicycle
race around the streets of Paris
from midnight 'till 3 a. m., a gar-
gantuan dinner and Rabelais night
in Les Halles, the great central
food market of Paris, with spec-
tacles of jugglers and troubadours
from the middle ages; all this and
much more, not to mention the
wealth of special plays, concerts,
ballets, and artistic manifestations
at which the French excel.

Or again, look at the riches in
store for the discriminating trav-
eler in other lands. The Festival
of Britain is going forward with
gathering momentum. On the site
of the theater in which Shake
speare played on London's South
Bank his "Wooden O" of "Hen-
ry V" finishing touches are now
being put to a vast new concert
hall, the first in Britain since the
war. Though our age has evolved
far from the confident optimism
of the Victorians, of which the
Great Exhibition of 1851 was a
supreme example, something of
that same spirit remains and, for
the 1951 anniversary, has spilled
over from the metropolis into the
cities and even the villages of Eng-
land.

Cycle of Mystery Plays

York, for instance, is presenting
the first performance since 1580
of the York Cycle of Mystery
Plays. York Minster, the massive
gothic cathedral of this city dating
back to Roman times, provides the

setting for choral and orchestral
concerts with Eduard van Beinum
and Victor de Sabata as guest con-
ductors.

Oxford comes into its own with
the treasures of the Bodleian li-
brary and Ashmolean museum on
display and 'two weeks of lectures,
to be attended by Travel & Study
groups, on history, English liter-
ature and the visual arts by Ox-
ford's foremost professors and
dons. In addition there are those
delights of students on warm,
scent-filled summer evenings
plays performed in college gar-
dens, or punting on the slowly
meandering Cherwell.

There are riches here seemingly
without end a drama festival
centered on Cambridge's Art's the-
ater, a festival of chamber music
and opera under the presiding gen-
ius of Benjamin Britten, the great-
est living British composer, in his
home village of Aldeburg on the
East Rnglian coast, and some 20
other festivals including the world
famed Edinburgh festival and
Welsh Eisteddfod.

Think for a moment of the ar-
tistic offerings of other countries
Austria with the Salzburg fes-
tival; the first post-war Wagner-
ian festival at Bayreuth, Germany;
the music festival at Lucerne,
Switzerland; 'the Film and Arts
festival at Venice, Italy, and the
Holland festival.

Nee, Wong Repeat
Vows at Ceremony

By Barbara West

Bessie Nee and Daniel Wong
were married at the new Christian
Church in Decatur Friday at 4:30
p. m. The wedding, which was the
first to be solemnized since the
congregation moved to the new lo-
cation, was in the chapel of the
church.

Following the brief ceremony, a
reception was held in an adjoining
room. A mixture of American and
Chinese customs were used; tea
was served as well as the usual
wedding cake.

Bessie was dressed in a gown of
slipper satin, with lace at the yoke
and long sleeves ending in points
at the wrist with a court length
train. Her veil was finger-tip
length attached to a juliet cap of
white satin. Rita Mae Scott was
the bride's only attendant and
wore a gown of aqua taffeta. Rita's
bouquet was pink roses and Bes-
sie's, white roses. Dan and his
brother - Bill, who served as best
man, wore business suits.

The couple are now at home on
Piedmont Avenue, but are looking
for a small apartment here in De-
catur.

Church Will Offer
Musicians' Classes

A church music institute will be
held at the Central Presbyterian
Church from Thursday through
Sunday. The purpose of the pro-
gram, which will be under the di-
rection of Dr. Federal Whittlesey
of 'the Highland Park Methodist
Church in Dallas, Texas, is to train
church musicians.

Classes for choir directors will

be at 4 p. m. on Thursday and Fri-
day, and a junior choir class at 4
p. m. Saturday. Every evening
there will be a choir rehearsal,
the choir including about 350
people.

The four-day music training
course will end with a program of
sacred music Sunday at 4 p. m.

All students are invited to at-
tend the classes. There is a slight
registration fee for the classes, but
the Sunday program is open to the
public.

Whirlwind Whimsey

SWW Brings Latest Report
Of Scotties Weekend Whirl

By MARTHA FORTSON

Greetings, ladies, this is station SWW (Scottie's Whirlwind Whim-
sey) to bring you a brief review of the weekend social events. First we,
take you to fraternity row at Emory. Several of the frat houses are
lighted up and the place is everything but quiet.

The ATO's are giving a party in honor of the old pledges or better
the new brothers. Sylvia Williams, Pat Patterson, and Ann Goolsby
are certainly having a fine time. A "Roaring Twenties" party is in
process at the Sigma Chi house. Harrietts Potts, Joan Simmons,
Connie Jacob, Onie Inman, Ann Miller, Margie Thomason, Pat Martin,
Ann Potts, June Carpenter, Helen Land, Ann Herman, Ann Parker, and
Florence Worthy are all dressed in attire to carry out the party's
theme. Ann Herman looks dazzling in a black dress with sequins and
Ann Parker is beaming in a black beaded dress.

Flash KA Has Party

Further around the row, at the KA house, is a pajama party.
Phyllis Galphin looks fine in a pair of blue pajamas with a red taffeta
robe. Mif Martin has on navy pajamas with a pink coat, and Susan
Gauger is in a white night shirt. The Phi Chi med students are not to
be outdone. The future doctors of America are giving a "Bowie Ball"
which Kay Richardson and Llewellyn Womack are enjoying.

Now we take you to Tech where things are also popping. The SAE's
are having a shrimp supper which Sue Purdom, Sara Rose, Mif Martin,
and Betty Moyer are thoroughly enjoying. Marjorie Mayfield and
Kathleen Whitfield are at the Beta house. The ATO's have left campus
and are at the American Legion Post. Bev Olson, Betty Jo McCast-
lain, Ginny Lee Floyd, and Caroline Lester are at this dance.

Back to Agnes Scott to pick some bits of news which your reporters
on campus have compiled. Smoky Bowers has gone to Athens to the
PiKA costume party. Arden Locher went to the KA parties at Geor-
gia Jackie Sue Messer, Libby Shontz, and Ann Miller went to a party
in honor of the bride elect, Virginia Dunn, at the Variety Club. More
news Jinnie Brewer has a visitor from Vanderbilt.

More News More Frat Pins

Camellia corsages added to Kassie Simmons' and June Carpenter's

outfits. Kassie received hers to wear to "Hit the Deck," and June's
was in honor of her birthday.

Sigma Chi pins seem to be catching. Charlotte Allsmiller received
one from her fellow at Columbia Seminary. In case you haven't seen
Jody Horn lately, she got one over the Christmas holidays. And then,
just this weekend, Sylvia Williams accepted an ATO pin.

In First Night Basketball Game

By iVnne Brooke

In the first night basketball game of the season the seniors
swamped the juniors 27-13 while the freshmen edged out the
sophomores 17-15. After the first half of play it seemed that
the seniors would run away with the game, but the juniors
tightened up during the third and fourth quarters. If they
had played as well during the first
part of the game it might have
been a different story, for at the
end the seniors began to tire. Bet-
ty Esco with 10 points was high
scorer for the winners.

The freshman-sophomore game
was close throughout with the
freshmen leading all the way by a
narrow margin. The halftime
score was 11-8. Elinor Taylor
scored 12 of the 17 points for the
freshmen.

Members of the senior team
were forwards Betty Esco, Anna
Gounaris, Barbara Quattlebaum,
Betty Ziegler, Kitty Loemker;
guards Jenelle Spear, Barbara
Caldwell, Freddie Hachtel, Vir-
ginia Arnold.

Playing for the juniors were for-
wards Helen Jean Robarts, Cath-
erine Redles, Betty Moon, Elaine
Blane, Winnie Strozier; guards
Catherine Redles, Jane Hart, Jean-
nine Byrd.

Sophomore players were for-
wards Carol Lou Jacob, Dee
Thompson, Margie Thomason, Sa-
ra Crewe Hamilton; guards, Bon-
nie Sanders, Frances Ginn, Ada-
line Miller.

On the freshman team were for-
wards Katherine Matthews, Julia
Grier, Elinor Taylor, Vallie Bur-
net; guards, Joen Fagan, Jackie
Josey, Florie Fleming.

Drake Dines
With Consuls,
Speaks on TV

Miss Lillie Belle Drake, in-
structor in Spanish, lunched with
several consuls Jan. 29, among
them representatives of the
French and British governments.
She represented the Pan-American
League here in Atlanta at the
luncheon sponsored by Rich's, Inc.
in connection with its internation-
al fabric show.

In connection with the League,
Miss Drake has appeared on two
local television shows during the
last several weeks. About three
weeks ago she was interviewed by
a master of ceremonies on the
work of the Pan-American League.
She in turn, on the same program,
interviewed a doctor from Mexico
who is studying at Grady hospital
and a lady representing the Cuban
tourist commission.

Recently, as a part of Rich's
fabric show, she described a Peru-
vian costume in her possession.
She bought the costume in a small
town in the Andes.

There is speculation that there
will be a program on Pan-Ameri-
can handicraft during Latin-Amer-
ican week. If this goes through,
Miss Drake will make her third
appearance on TV.

"white" ballets. It has been danced in many places; a bull

Military Aid? -Yes!

What significance does General Eisenhower's recent mes-
sage have for Americans?

It has been suggested that his radio and television report
to the nation Friday night on his survey of Western Europe's
military potential, advocating U. S. military aid, may prove a
turning point in the history of resistance io Communist ag-
gression.

It has also been suggested that General Eisenhower should
never have gone to Europe as a representative of the United
States in the first place. Advocators of this idea hold that his
official appearance there will involve us e^en more in the
confusion and entanglement of present-day Western Europe.

But is not the destiny of Western Europe closely interlocked
with our own outcome? As the countries in our world have
been drawn together by the ways and wiles of modern science,
it has become increasingly difficult to ignore a thing so violent
as the steady-moving Communist aggression in Europe today.

Eisenhower urged the sending of an unspecified number of
American divisions there to help defend against possible
Communist attack. Some Republicans in Congress, notably
Senators Wherry and Taft of Ohio have suggested that the
U. S. rely principally on air and sea power with only limited
contributions to the North Atlantic ground forces in Europe.
Eisenhower replied Friday night, "Our ships will not long
sail the seas nor our planes fly the world airways if we stand
aside in fancied security while an aggressive imperialism
sweeps over areas of the earth with which our own future
is inseparably linked."

He described the arrival in Europe of new American land
and air units "though modest in protective influence by
themselves," they "will certainly produce added confidence
and accelerate the production of military force throughout
the nations."

And what significance has his message for us? It should
give and has given American spirit a tremendous lift. He
has taken the first constructive steps toward giving us "the
ingredient of morale the determination to combine for
mutual protection." S. W.

parents who live in Atlanta and vi-
cinity.

Frances Smith, senior day stu-

A Faith For The Future

A strong personal faith, one adequate for the future as well
as for the present this is what Christian association would
help the members of the college community to attain during
this year's Religious Emphasis week.

The "sheltering arms" with its Christian atmosphere does
not extend to a world which is facing, and will be facing
even more in the future, the disillusionment of plans which
have failed, hopes which have been disappointed, and ideals
which seem to have been overthrown.

Acquainted with a field in which much bitterness has been
the result of . long conflict, that of labor-management rela
tions, Dr. George D. Heaton must surely know the need for a
strong faith in some of the most difficult situations of the
modern world.

In this week of preparation, may we use the means at our
disposal to ready ourselves to receive what help he can of-
fer us. Next week, may we take advantage of the opportunity
which we have, an opportunity to fit ourselves to add life to
existence in the future. C. K.

The program, presented under

Society in America, will be open to

It looks so clean and white and
empty before your little row of
accomplishments are listed on its
dotted lines. "What fun it will be
to fill out," you innocently tell
yourself. After all, how else can
they discsover that YOU and only
YOU are the one they want.

And it looks so easy. At least
you can't make a mistake writing
your name on the top line. So you
begin, admiring your own clear
script as 0 you go. But oh no! It
says in just as clear type, "Please
print, last, first, middle." Well, a
little scratching out won't hurt,
and from now on you'll be real
careful. The next item to be list-
ed is age. That's simple enough,
and there are three whole lines on
which to write it. Actually you
could be a prehistoric monster and
still have room to list your present
number of years in digit's. Then
the irony appears: the next ques-
tion is "Address, street, city, state,
business, private," and how much
space is there? Exactly three dots
(. . .). And of course you are to
"print clearly." Well, anyone can
now plainly see that neatness is
not one of your virtues. The
printing in the three-dot space
looks as if you'd made one beauti-
fully designed inkspot. Oh well,
if they can't read the address
they can always call you up on the
telephone. There'll be lots of room
for your number. It's only logical
look how much space they left
for something as short as your
age. Fate, however, is against you.
For your six-digit Southern Bell
number, you have not the three
dots (...) they generously left

Every Man a Poet

By Helen Land

or watched the way eyebrows strike out strong and straight
across expressive foreheads?

ing face, the organ swelling and
subsiding in quest of listeners at
chapel time, the cold air more
vital just leaving the smoker . .
And spring's not far away .

These sensate impressions are a
partial print of living upon us. We
live much in our minds. Then rush
into recreation. Always we eat
and sleep and brush our teeth.
But though we fulfill immediate
demands we forget physical senses
are the door to inner appreciation.
If we could not hear, we would
not know what music was.

Each person is a potential poet.
He can see if he looks and feel if
he touches and hear if he listens.
And he can do all of these and for-
get to be aware, thus to enjoy. The
individual who takes time to no-
tice stores himself. Poets are ap-
preciators. They don't have to
write poetry. Those that do are
merely using words in an attempt
to give away what they've stored.

Is all this relevant to us? I
think so. We're in such a hurry.
And yet we'll never be more alive
to life. Imprints are waiting to be

only one (.) little period.

Somewhat frustrated you go
down the line. The questions are
getting easier to answer. There is
plenty of room in which to list
that you were Black Cat decorat-
ing chairman and that at present
you belong to the French club.

Then suddenly, without warning,
comes the crowning blow. "Please
attach a recent photograph." Fe-
verishly you search the desk for a
glamour picture or a sweet, in-
nocent one. Nothing! No photo is
to be found except the "rogue's-
gallery-like" print you had taken
at the fair for a dime. You could
not possibly . . . But the applica-
tion has to be postmarked today
and how will you get another pic-
ture? Against your better judg-
ment you decide to "attach" it,
even though the only thing it lacks
to appear as if its coming straight
from Alcatraz is a striped shirt
and a number under it. With the
glue spots that you have spilled
on it, you really look charming.
You decide that it's a good thing
that you're not applying for a job
as "picture-sticker-on" in a photog-
raphy shop.

There, it's finished. You're sure
to get the position. How could
they refuse YOU? Of course the
application form is not the epitome
of neatness, nor do you look like
the vision of lovliness you'd like
to be in your photograph. But
then, who knows, maybe you will
be the only one applying. And
THEN, how could they refuse your
talents?

Hop on a pink cloud, girls homework and the like can wait. Let's
re-create last weekend which was wonderful . . . Maybe you danced
to the music of Tommy Tucker or the Auburn Knights in your favorite
formal. Orchids were received Friday night for the Sigma Chi and
Phi Delt formals.

If you are all tucked in nice and comfortable, let's turn our cloud
into the City Auditorium. The Tech IFC is in process. Red and white
crepe paper streamers are on the walls, the frat names are in hearts
on the posts, and the backdrop behind Tommy Tucker's band has
valentines on it. These decorations amply carry out the Valentine
theme. Loads of Agnes Scott girls are whirling on the floor. Vivian
Weaver has on a lovely green taffeta dress, Miriam Runyon chose a
light blue dress trimmed in black velvet, and Connie Major wore a
lime green ballerina. I just couldn't begin to describe all the multi-
colored dresses. If you aren't too near sighted you should see Jane
Puckett, Betty Moyer, Marilyn Cox, Jackie Pfarr, Betty Holland,
Allena Doggett, Barbara Yoweli, Lola Purcell, Millie Allison, Barbara

Now to the Phi Delt formal there's Doris Clingman, Mary Lind-
sey, Dele Thompson, and Margaretta Lumpkin, who all seem to be
having a wonderful time. It's not time to go home yet we don't want
to forget the Sigma Chi Sweetheart formal. This is a wonderful event
for all Agnes Scotters because freshman Harrietts Potts has just
been presented the cross of carnations. 'She's really beaming. Helen
Land and June Carpenter look like cream puffs tonight in their pale
pink and blue formals. Jodie Horn, Margie Thomason, Patt Martin,
Jane Crayton, Florence Worthy, Betty Nell Scott, Virginia Lee Floyd,
Susan Coultrap, Ann Parker, and Ann Herman are making a bunch of
fellows mighty happy.

Just push those books on the floor we've one more trip to make.
This time we're at the Miami Triad at the Sky Room and the Auburn
Knights are really going to town. The sponsors are just about to be
presented. They're going to break through crepe paper triangles repre-
senting the three frats, Sigma Chi, Beta Theta Pi, and Phi Delta Theta.
Two of the girls are from ASC Mary Lindsey and Harriette don't
say we can't take over. Adelaide Ryall looks swell in a white net
strapless with red flowers in her hair, Bunny Coley has on a rose bro-
caded taffeta and Nancy DeArmond a green satin dress. Other gals
dancing around are Emy Evans, Phyllis Galphin, Shirley Heath, Chris
Allen, Sue Purdom, and yours truly.

And the Ride Is Over

Well our ride is over, and we're back to the same four walls. B. J.
Sharpe, Betty Stein, Jane Hook, Harriet Durham, and Betty Cheney left
campus, while Mary Lou Rleppinger, Catherine Gentry, Amelia Cronin,
Theresa Dokos, Helen McGowan, and Elizabeth Price entertained vis-
itors on campus last weekend. If our pink cloud had lasted we could
have observed Ann Miller, Cissie Spiro, and Libby Shontz dancing at
the Empire Room or June Smith in a yellow gown at the PiKA pajama
party. We also missed the dinner party which the girls in Lupton had
at Taleiico's last Friday night.

Ballet Program

(Continued from page 1)

Mazurka in D, opus 33, No. 2. This
role demands effortless elevation
and concealed virtuosity. There
are characteristic "ports de bras"
which are echoed by the "corps
de ballet."

The third lead, which will be
danced by Diane Morris, calls for
a dance to Valse in C sharp min-
or. This variation is in the freest
style and calls for a rhythmic con-
tinuity. The steps and arm move-
ments represent a purely romantic
approach.

Other solo parts, which will be
danced by Jane Hart, Marian Mer-
ritt, Pat Thomason, Lillian Beall,
Margie Henderson, Kassie Sim-
mons, and Jane Edwards, will be
in the Prelude opus 28, No. 7, and
Nocturne opus 32, No. 2.

At first the ballet was known as
"Chopiniana" and was an orches-
tration of four Chopin piano
pieces. It was later changed to
"Les Sylphides." Every ballerina
has danced at least one role in
this ballet, and almost as many
scenic designers as musicians have
served it. Each role demands the
dancer's interpretative ability.

Preceding "Les Sylphides," the

Georgianna Buchanan, Jane Crook,

G. A. F. C. W. Conference Discusses
Athletic Associations Problems in Rome

By Betty Ziegler

The best place to spend eight-degree weather in mid-winter
is in the hills of North Georgia. Over the week-end of Feb-
ruary 2 and 3 5 representatives from various southern colleges
who are members of the Georgia Athletic Federation of Col-
lege Women met at Shorter College in Rome, Geargia. The
colleges represented were Agnes
Scott, Brenau, G. S. C. W., G. S.
W. C, Georgia Southwestern,
North Georgia, Shorter, Univer-
sity of Georgia, Wesleyan and
W. G. C.

The purpose of the conference
was to discuss the problems con-
fronting the various Athletic as-
sociat ons or "Rec" clubs in the
colleges and, if possible, to sug-
gest solutions to these problems.

The delegates were welcomed to
the college Friday evening by the
president of Shorter, Mr. Charles
W. Burk, and also by Honey Tur-
ley, president of the Shorter Ath-
letic Council, and Jackie Long,
president of the G. A. F. C. W.
Miss Clifford Lewis, faculty advis-
or for the federation from the Uni-
versity of Georgia, made a very
short and interesting talk concern-
ing the relationship and import-
ance of athletics to democracy.
After the opening session, the
Shorter swimming club presented
a water show consisting of ex-
perts from the annual pageant, a
baseball game, and several races.
Swap Thoughts

Saturday the business session of
the conference really began with
Jackie Long's introducing the plan
of the day with emphasis on the
"Though Swap Sessions" between
colleges. The delegates were di-
vided into groups, and questions
were read aloud, each group dis-
cussing the question separately
and then presenting the different
ideas and suggestions submitted.
The questions concerning ways to
create more interest in the ath-

letic program including team and
individual sports, types of tourna-
ments held, and the practicality of
a G. A. F. C. W. playday.

Interest groups were formed to
discuss and formulate all the new
ideas given by the various schools,
and reports from these groups
were made later. One of the fu-
ture events to come from the con-
ference will take place in April
of 1952. At that time, it has been
planned for all schools who are
members of the G. A. F. C. W. to
send five or six delegates to the
University of Georgia for a play-
day. It is hoped that this event
will bring greater friendship be-
tween the colleges and that each
may learn of new ideas and ac-
tivities to create interest in the
athletic program of the various
schools.

After these reports were made,
each delegate gave a three-minute
talk concerning the projects and
program of the Athletic associa-
tion which she represented.

The climax of the business ses-

sion of the conference was the
election of officers for the coming
year. Erskine Forgy from the
University of Georgia was elected
president; Georgianne Lott from
Shorter College was chosen sec-
retary-treasurer; and the council
members are Helen Blackmar
from Wesleyan and Winnie Stro-
zier from Agnes Scott.

After this the conference was
adjourned until next year, when
the meeting will be held at Wes-
leyan College. Miss Helena Wil-
liams, Winnie Strozier, and Betty
Ziegler represented Agnes Scott
at the conference.

At^the close of the social part
of the conference, two basketball
teams were selected from the del-
egates of the colleges and a rip-
roaring battle between the Reds
and the Greens was held. Miss
Williams and Miss Lewis offici-
ated. Everyone enjoyed the spirit
and enthusiasm with which the en-
tire conference was filled.

Juniors Swamp Frosh 40-7
As Seniors Beat Sophs 28-/3

By Anne Brooke

A junior team which was really "on the ball" swamped the
hard fighting freshman team 40-7 while the seniors defeated
the sophomores 28-13, as the basketball tournament went into
its second round last Friday afternoon. The juniors were
leading the whole way, but they made a great surge forward
during the second half when they
scored 23 of their points. Junior
forwards Helen Jean Robarts and
Winnie Strozier, who couldn't
seem to miss, were sinking goals
from almost every part* of the
floor. They respectively scored
10 and 15 points. In the senior-
sophomore game, Barbara Quat-

tlebaum with 11 points and Kitty
Loemker with 12 points were high
scorers for the seniors. The sopho-
mores played a fast game, but
they couldn't seem to click.

Atlanta Presbyterian Students
To Have Rally at ASC Sunday

The Presbyterian young people of the Atlanta area will
meet on the Agnes Scott campus Sunday for a rally in ob-
servance of the World Day of Prayer for Students. This day
has been designated by the World Student Christian Feder-
ation, an international, interdenominational union of stu-
dent groups.

An "Evening of Dance," presented by the Ag nes Scott dance group under direction of
Eugenie Dozier, featured "Les Sylphides." D iane Morris, Kathleen Stout, and Marilyn
Vance took leading parts in the traditional "white" ballet.

Morris, Vance, Stout Spark
'Evening of Dance Program

By Calico

Sparked by the graceful technique of Diane Morris, the
"elevation" of Marilyn Vance, and the beautiful head and
arm movements of Kathleen Stout, an "Evening of Dance"
highlighted the calendar of events at Agnes Scott last Sat-
urday night. The lighting effects in the modern dance pres-
entations were especially effect-
ive, shifting with the mood of the
dance.

The traditional white costumes
of "Les Sylphides" were changed
from the blue of twilight to the
brilliant red of sunrise during the
romantic reverie, accompanied by
the music of Chopin.

"Distortion," the second study
by the modern dance grown, was
especially well-done.

The program was directed by
Miss Eugenie Dozier.

Lecture Group to Present
Pearl S. Buck Feb. 28

Public Lecture association will
present Pearl S. Buck, who will
speak on "Backgrounds for Un-
derstanding," at 8:30 p. m. Wed-
nesday, Feb. 28, in Gaines audi-
torium. She has received both
the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes, and
is author of the novel, "The Good

Speaker for the "hour of in-
spiration" in Maclean auditorium
at 7:30 p. m. will be Dave Currie,
the new director of student work

will be an offering for W. S. C. F.
Students who will be on the pro-
gram are Nena Hale, president of
the Agnes Scott Westminster Fel-
lowship, James Donaldson, presi-
dent of the Emory group, and
Stell Huie, vice moderator of the
Assembly' s Youth Fellowship.
Charlotte Key will be organist.

Following the worship service,

DAVE CURRIE

there will be an "hour of fellow-
ship" in Murphey Candler, includ-
ing refreshments and group sing-
ing. There will be a table display
about the W. . C. F. there.

It is hoped that the meeting will
give an opportunity for students
in the Presbyterian churches of
the area to become better ac-
quainted. D. Mac Brown, min-
ister to students in the Atlanta
area, had a great deal to do with
planning the rally.

High School Group
Attends Activities

A group from Decatur Girls
High had supper at the dining hall
and attended the dance program
Saturday night as guests of the
college.

From now through May Day
there will be visitors on campus
from the various high schools in
Atlanta. These visits will be built
around special events such as the
Blackfriars play, the past dance
program, and May Day. Fresh-
men who were graduated from
these schools will serve as host-
esses to the girls from their
schools.

All girls who have registered
for the next year have been in-
vited to spend a weekend here on
campus at their convenience.

Health Dept.
AS Sickness

The "plague" which struck the
Agnes Scott campus Saturday has
subsided somewhat, but no official
report of the cause has yet been
given. Two specialists on epidem-
ics from the Georgia Department
of Health have been investigating
the malady affecting approxim-
ately 125 boarding students and
a smaller percentage of other
students and personnel.

Dr. J. E. McCroan, one of the
specialists, distributed question-
naires in chapel yesterday, and
all those who were absent are
urged to contact the infirmary
to fill out a questionnaire. The
activities of both "sick and un-
sick" are being investigated.

Early rumors contributed the
cause to food-poisoning, but later
the disease was thought to be a
virus. Approximately 100 cases
are being investigated in detail,
and a report is expected to be re-
leased soon by the health depart-
ment.

Dr. Chester P. Morse, college
physician, was assisted by Dr. C.
E. Cunningham and four practic-
al nurses Sunday, as well as sev-
eral volunteer aids.

The infirmary was filled to its
capacity of 30 late Saturday night,
and 12 extra beds were brought
from the gym.

Seniors Down Juniors 37-20
As Frosh Edge Sophs 17-14

By Adele Thompson

In the second night game of the season the seniors downed
the juniors 37-20. The freshmen won a hard-fought game
from the sophomores by a score of 17-14.

The seniors led the entire game and never were in serious
trouble. The juniors played a hard game, but the}' seemed
to lack the spark that carried
them to victory last week. Those
playing for the seniors were for-
wards Betty Esco, Anna Gounaris,
Kitty Loemker, Barbara Quattle-
baum, and Betty Ziegler; guards
Virginia Arnold, Barbara Cald-
well, Freddie Hachtel, and Jenelle
Spear.

Junior players were forwards
Elaine Blaine, Edith Petrie, Helen
Jean Robarts, and Winnie Stro-
zier; guards Barbara Brown,
Jeannine Byrd, Jane Hart, Mat-
tie Hart, and Catherine Redles.

The freshmen and the sopho-
mores played a close and exciting
game from beginning to end. The
sophomores made a forward surge
in the second half of the game,
but this did not come soon enough
to save them from defeat. On the
freshman team were forwards
Vallie Burnett, Julia Grier, Irene
Sasso, and Elinor Taylor; guards

Big Back-to-Bushes Crusade
Pushes Poise and Petunias

By Betsy Hodges

Realizing the dire need for social expansion among the
members of the student body, several weeks ago the ladies of
second Rebekah undertook the organization of the Rebekah
Hall Garden club, by this time having attained campus-wide
recognition for its many achievements and singular purpose.
The ladies chose as their leader

Miss Virginia Claire Hays, whom
they considered the embodiment
of all their ideals of poise, charm,
and resolute action. The group
is most fortunate in its board of
directors, ladies of infinite
capability and whole-hearted de-
votion to the purpose of the group
More Bushes On the Colonnade!
True Altruism
The Rebekah Hall Garden club
hopes that by meeting together
for a little social hour each Mon-
day night it may advance gra-
ciousness and altruistic tendencies
in its members. Each meeting is
extremely well-attended, for the
club directors always manage to
provide an interesting and cultur-
al program, generally featuring
some expert on gardening as guest
speaker. At the last meeting the
ladies were addressed by Miss
Marion Merritt, who spoke on im-

expressed her sincere desire that
the ladies would take full advant-
age of the instructive and recre-
ative opportunities afforded by
the culture of petunias. This last
meeting was the club's annual sil-
ver tea, and each member attend-
ed in apparel exceedingly appro-
priate to the occasion. Mists
Smoky Bowers was seen wearing
an Agnes Scott sweater, reptile
opera pumps, and a cigarette. Miss
Helena Williams, of the faculty,
one of several guests who graced
the meeting with their presence,
was charmingly attired in a char-
treuse raincoat, pink pantaloons,
bobby sox and ankle-strap high
heels, a red pocketbook, and with
greenery in her hair (philoden-

From all appearances this en-
visioned group promises to do
much for social activity on the
Agnes Scott campus. The club
welcomes visitors to its meetings,
in the hope that its enlightened
social outlook may be transported
to others.

Harvey Whirls with Scotties
At SAE Weekend Festivities

Why, Harvey, you look quite beat. Where have you been? Yes, I
went to the SAE formal and banquet, - too. What could a rabbit
like you do at a formal? Oh, I see! The banquet at Camellia Gardens
and the dance at Peachtree Gardens made a very nice evening. The
brothers decorated with violets, the frat's flower. The leadout was
through a trellis surrounded by a yellow curtain with violets. Mar-
garet Walker was most fascinating in a cinnamon brown net dress
over a chartreuse taffeta, and Jane Crayton was getting along fine
with the stag line. She had on a white nylon dress which had a
big light blue sash. Barbara West chose a black net strapless and
Doris Clingman, a green taffeta. What's that, Harvey? Yes, I saw
Mary Newell Rainey, Joan Simmons, Margie Orr, and Gloria Price.
The girls have lovely bracelets to remember this dance. The SAE's
ended the weekend with a recuperation party Saturday night which
most of these gals attended.

Did you make the Sigma Nu formal which was also last Friday
night ? The gals who saw Mary Ann Wyatt leave said she looked lovely
in a black taffeta dress.

You didn't? So you stayed awhile at the Phi Delt party at Robin-
son's. Mary Birmingham, Anne Dewitt, Marilyn Michie, and Mary
Lindsey certainly enjoyed themselves at this party.

Yes, I heard about the Emory PiKA party Saturday night. Selma
Schroth, Frances Sistar, and Marilyn Belanus had a wonderful even-
ing at the frat house.

Before you leave, Harvey, tell me where Ann (Texas) Jones and
Rosalyn Kenneday went this weekend. So, it was to some dances at
Sewanee.

Travel Groups
Tell of Tours
For Students

The Students Travel club an-
nounces six comprehensive, all-ex-
pense tours of nine European
countries, planned to afford cul-
tural, educational, and social val-
ues for college men and women
during their summer vacation per-
iod.

Members will sail from New
York in luxury liners R. M. S.
Queen Mary, R. M. S. Queen Eliz-
abeth, S. S. Constitution, and the
S. S. Washington, during June and
early July. Reservations and in-
quiries are being received by Stu-
dents Travel club, 1841 Broad-
way. New York City. Each of
the coeducational groups will be
escorted by a responsible chaper-
one.

Touring nine countries, the over-
land travel will be by private de-
luxe motor coach, to eliminate the
inconveniences of train schedules
and baggage transfers at railroad
depots. Each group will be ac-
companied by experienced travel
couriers, speaking the languor of
each country, to handle all travel
details.

At all major points of interest,
guided sightseeing is arranged, as
well as attendance at the operas,
concerts, music festivals, and the
theatres. Members will use the
finest hotels and enjoy excellent
meals in quaint continental res-
taurants.

Each of the six all-expense
groups will bo limited to 30 men
and women, chosen from colleges
throughout the United States.

Group of Five Plans
Annual Cuban Trip

Miss Lillie Belle Drake, instruc-
or in Spanish, is completing plans
for her annual trip to Cuba dur-
ing the spring holidays. There will
be five making the trip altogether,
Miss Drake, Tibby King, Anm
Jones, Jinnie Brewer, and Jinnie's
sister.

They will be entertained in Ha-
vana by a sculptress who visited
Atlanta last summer for a swim-
ming meet. During their five day
visit Miss Drake is planning a
motor trip across the island to the
Caribbean sea, tours of Havana,
shopping, and games. They will
travel by plane, leaving the night
of March 16, and returning the
morning of the 22nd.

novelist, Miss Buck is a driving
spokesman for the Chinese, for
the colored Americans, and for
women's rights. She is liberal
both in religion and in politics. It
has been said of her that "few
modern writers have done so much
to further the common under-
standing of the human heart."

The college community and
friends are invited to the lecture.
There will be no charge for ad-
mission.

"Backgrounds for Understanding" will be Pearl Buck's
topic in her lecture in Gaines auditorium next Wednesday at
8:30 p. m. This well-known writer, who, although born in
America, spent most of her childrhood in China, will be pre-
sented by the Public Lecture association.

Mrs. Buck remembers that her
Chinese nurse helped her under-
stand much about Oriental ideas
and customs. In her novels, sto-
ries, and essays, she presents Chi-
nese culture and American life.

A graduate of Randolph-Macon
College, Pearl Buck was awarded
the Pulitzer Prize for her most
famous novel, "The Good Earth."
It was on the American list of
best sellers for 21 months and
has been made into a motion pic-
ture.

Her statement that "I am one
of those unfortunate creatures
who cannot function completely
unless he is writing, has written,
or is about to write a novel" is
borne out in the list of her works,
which includes, besides "The Good
Earth," "The Mother," "Dragon-
seed," "The Exile," "Fighting An-
gel," "Portrait of Marriage," and
"The Child Who Never Grew."
Her latest novel is. "God's Men,"
which appears now in serial form
in the 'Woman's Home Compan-
ion" magazine.

In 1938 Miss Buck received the
Nobel Prize for literature the
first American woman to receive
this honor. The prize was given
not for one book but for her work
as a whole.

NSA Sponsors
Summer Travel

"Work, study, travel," says the
U. S. Nationai Student associa-
tion as it gestures toward its 1951
summer program. Believing that
no more important obligation ex-
sits for American students today
than to learn more of the lives
and motivations of the peoples
who live beyond the borders of
their own countries, NSA is at-
tempting to strengthen the bonds
of friendship and common purpose
among the peoples of the free
world with a program of summer
work, study, and travel arrange-
ments abroad.

The NSA tours fall into four
main categories study tours, in-
ternational tours, work camp ar-
rangements and hospitality tours.
In addition to these NSA has eith-
er arranged or sponsored both
formal and informal Seminars at
various European universities. The
study tours include art, fine arts,
sculpture and painting, sociology,
economics and politics, industry,
agriculture, and journalism. The
work camps will be in Denmark,
Finland, Noway, England,
France, Holland, and Yugoslovia.
There will be travel through the
British Isles, Scandinavia, Ben-
elux, Italy, France, Yugoslavia,
Middle East and South Africa. ,

Here are some characteristic
features of the tours: average
time of tour 50 days, cost
$350-$800, special student ship,
shipboard orientation program,
and student hospitality abroad.

cation form they can be secured

three others, one of which will be
with the Indians in the Southwest.
Volunteers Abroad
Approximately 70 volunteers
will be sent to 15 countries in Eu-
rope and to Jamaica and Haiti.
The volunteers will work in ref-
ugee camps and will harvest fields,
clear land, rebuild homes, schools,
community centers, and play-
grounds. Of the 35 or more in-
ternational work camps in which
the volunteers will be participat-
ing, the Service committee will be
sponsoring a limited number of
these in Finland, Germany, Haiti,
Italy, and Jamaica.

Young men and women will
study problems of international
cooperation and peace in seven-
week International Service sem-
inars and in 10-day Institutes of
International Relations this sum-
mer. In both programs, well-
known authorities on international
affairs serve as faculty members
and staff. Seminars will be held
in Verde Valley School, Sedona,
Arizona; Norton School, Clare-
mont, Calif.; Todd School, Wood-
stock, 111.; Milton Academy, Mil-
ton, Mass.; and Holderness School,
Plymouth, N. H. Two other sem-
inars will probably be held at Car-
roll College, Waukesha, Wis., and
Rockford College, Rockford, 111.

The Service committee will
sponsor six seminars abroad, three
in Europe and one each in Japan,
India, and in Pakistan. The sem-
inars in Europe and Asia will be
attended by people who are al-
ready in these areas. The Com-
mittee does not have funds to send
people abroad to participate in
seminars.

For further information about
any of these projects, write to
American Friends Service Com-
mittee, 20 South 12th Street, Phil-
adelphia 7, Pa.

Institutional Service Units
The two year-round Institution-
al Service Units are located at
Clinton Farms State Reformatory
for Women in New Jersey and at
Clarinda State Hospital for the
mentally ill in Iowa. At Clinton,
unit members serve as assistant
cottage matrons. At Clarinda,
unit members serve as ward at-
tendants. A third year-round
unit will be established at Over-
brook Essex County Mental Hos-
pital in Cedar Grove, New Jersey,
as applicants are accepted.

The year-round Interne-in-In-
dustry project is held in Phila-
delphia where a group of 10 in-

ternes are now gaining a first-
hand experience in the field of in-
dustrial relations by holding jobs
in factories. Their work program
is supplemented by evening lec-
tures, discussion groups, and field
trips.

Friends service units work year
round in Mexico in the villages of
Santiago, Nayarit; Valle de Bra-
va, Mexico; and in Nativitas,
Xochimilco, D. F. Their work is
closely identified with the efforts
of the Mexican people to carry
out programs of social advance-
ment, particularly in health and
education.

Worthy of Washington?

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the birthdays of George
Washington Scott, George Washington Smith, Jones, and
Brown. It is also, though perhaps given less campus em-
phasis, the birthday anniversary of George Washington,
period.

This George was the first president of the country of which
most of us are citizens by birth, not choice. According to the
first George, "the name of AMERICAN, which belongs to you,
in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of
patriotism ..."

Patriotism. Important in wartime, declining in peace. A
nation must earn the right for patriotism, and continue to
merit its presence. We say we are a nation of freedom -
Georgia has a white primary, the president must watch the
color of his neckties. We as individuals, as youth, must care
for and preserve and protect freedom, because it essentially
begins as an idea in the mind of man into which youth will
grow.

Patriotism demands unity. Taft fights Truman, Truman
fights the Marines, and McCarthy fights everybody. Will
we all be enemies, later? We quarrel even with our friends,
now. We need the wisdom of Washington. If we strive for
it now, while students, we shall be better able to grasp it later,
as citizens. We are they who must keep it a nation worthy
of pride, worthy of the love of a Washington. A. B.

One Week Per Year

Once in a year of weeks, one rears a solemn head and points
to its caption neatly printed on a breast of black, "Religious
Emphasis Week." And we settle ourselves comfortably and
wait for it to parade before us. Some of us with sighs, "More
talks. I'm worn out with 'em."

And small "church" smiles:
"I hope the speaker's worth-
while."

And gleeful:

"Oh, boy! No tests this week.
Reprieve at last."

Impossible as it is to character-
ize a whole, particularly a cam-
pus of individual women, our at-
titude has often been a sort of

The Norwegian committee of the Summer School for Amer-
ican Students at the University of Oslo announces that four
scholarships worth approximately $350 each will be made
available to American and Canadian students. The awards

Dr. Ralph Bunche who was recent-
ly presented the Nobel prize.

Scholarship candidates should
make application with Dean Nor-
man Nordstrand, Oslo Summer

McCain to Leave
Campbell Group

Jamer, R. McCain, president, who
has been one of the seven members
of the Board administering the
Campbell Foundation, will retire
from this position in April.

In 1939 John Bulow Campbell, a
former member of the Agnes Scott
Board of Trustees and chairman
of the finance committee for a
number of years, died. A portion
of his wealth was placed in the
Campbell Foundation by his des-
cendants to continue the work he
had done while living. The Founda-
tion operates anywhere in the
Southeast, although most of the
money has been donated in and
around Atlanta. It is concerned
with education and charitable in-
stitutions. Usually grants are
made to those projects which are
not subscribed to by the general
public and are always made anon-
ymously. Schools, churches, and
charities have been aided in this
manner.

Membership on the Board was
at first said to be for life, but at
the request of the senior member
of the Board the rule was changed.
Dr. McCain will be the first to re-
tire under the new plan, and will
leave the group in April, W. B.
Stubbs, director, announces. While
on the Board, Dr. McCain served
on the gifts committee.

Dr. Heaton Answers Questions
On Labor Relations Problems

By Eliza Pollard

Is the sole purpose of labor unions organization for strikes?
Are the unions "going red?" Do the big coal operators hate
John L. Lewis? Students attending the labor-management
relations discussion Thursday, led by Dr. Heaton, Religious
Emphasis week speaker and well-known arbitrator in labor
disputes, were helped to answer
such questions. Emory Via, Geor-
gia labor educator, also particip-
ated in the discussion.

Dr. Heaton congratulated Mr.
Via on the job the labor union
educators are doing toward fur-
thering responsible union activity.
He noted also that the older gen-
eration of labor leadership, the
generation that had to be "more
aggressive because it had to do
the organizing," is dying out and
being replaced by a generation of
younger, more rational men. How-
ever, Mr. Via pointed out that la-
bor organizing is still being im-
peded by the Taft-Hartley law and
by the policy of non-union fac-
tories of giving union wages and
working conditions to the work-
ers. This practice, which seems
to accomplish for the present the
same end as do the unions, in the
long run is detrimental to labor,
asserted Mr. Via. It is followed
only as long as labor is scarce,
and not while labor is over-plen-
tiful and needs protection most.
Profits in Coal

"In order to understand the
coal industry/' Dr. Heaton said,
"you must realize that the coal
mines make huge profits and are
not being bankrupted by the union
wages, commonly supposed to be
outrageous, but actually amount-
ing to about $350 monthly. It
must be taken into account that
the coal managers all start out as
'face workers' and that the per-
sonnel at a given mine is just 'one
big family' because of this system.
John ,L. Lewis has a completely
tyrannical union, appointing even
each and every local* of ficer, but
he is, however, respected and liked
by the five biggest operators be-
cause he has never opposed tech-
nological advance and has work-
ed constantly to increase produc-
tion. It is around the conference
table, not at the mines, with the
small independent operators who
lack capital for machinery, not
with the big companies, then, that
the rub comes."

Finally the statement that the
American labor movement is not
and never has been socialistic or
communistic, that it differs from
the European movements as night
from day in this respect came as
a surprise to many. It was point-

UN Delegate Austin
Speaks to Students

Warren Austin, chief U. S. del-
egate to the United Nations, de-
clared recently, "There never was
a time in history when organized
education carried a heavier re-
sponsibility than at the beginning
of this half of the twentieth cen-
tury. We shall need all of the
wisdom and knowledge and lead-
ership we can muster to preserve
civilization and apply the body of
knoweldge to the improvement and
welfare of mankind.

"The polls . . . show conclusive-
ly that the university-trained peo-
ple take a more realistic and in-
formed position on world affairs
than those with less educational
background. They show that they
are more alert to facts; that they
read more, listen more and dis-
cuss more than those with less ad-
vanced education.

"... It is a privilege to the
university student to participate
in the public promotion of those
opinions . . . which will maintain
and strengthen the unity of the
major part of the world, in main-
taining the front against aggres-
sion and lifting up those who have
suffered and need help."

# Why Not Draft Women?' Is Topic
Of Article By Mildred McAfee Horton

"Why doesn't somebody do something about drafting wo-
men?" The social forces which made women hesitate to vol-
unteer for military duty would vanish if they were drafted,
Mildred McAfee Horton, wartime head of WAVES, says in
her article, "Why Not Draft Women?," in the February issue
of "Ladies' Home Journal."

"Selective Service officials are
having a hard time finding men,"
Mrs. Horton says. "Veterans,
fathers, and boys in the middle of
their educational training are be-
ing drafted. How much better
for the nation, it would seem, to
draw frcm the 16,000,000 young
men AND women of draft age,
rather than try to fill our military
needs from the 8,000,000 boys.

"Nobody who knows anything
about military life seriously con-
templates making the Army or
Navy and certainly not the
lylarine Corps into 50-50 coed-
ucational organizations! The main
business of military services is
combat, and women should be
noncombatams. Nevertheless, the
organizational difficulty of using
women for noncombatant duties
is not insurmountable.

which discourages using women
for war duty. They must be saved
from the burdens of war though
how they are saved by drafting
!:heir husbands, leaving them with
young children whose fathers have
been sent to war, is hard to see.

"It seems safe to assert that
the experience of most service
women was <a positive, healthy,
morally wholesome experience,
maturing rather than degrading,
enriching rather than cheapening.
As a matter of fact, the armed
services are probably less dan-
gerous places for young women
than are new jobs in war industry
where less adequate provision can
be made for 24-hour-a-day welfare
of personnel. American girls
proved to be a fine lot of human
beings whether or not they wore

Scotties Diary Tells Secrets
Of AS De-icers Gay Frolics

By MARTHA FORTSON

Dear Diary,

Another weekend has come and gone. But what a weekend it was.
According to the gossip the society reporters got wind of, there were
just five formals last week. Everyone was quite beat when Monday
morning came, but it was certainly worth it.

Mary Lou Kleppinger was telling me all about the Tech SAE formal
last Friday night at Joe Veale's. She said that she wore a pink taffeta
and that Nancy Whetstone looked fine in a black velveteen dress
trimmed with daisies. Sue Purdom and Betty Moyer chose green
formals for this dance. Among the other girls who attended this
dance were Sara Rose, Georganna Buchanan, Jean Drumheller, Mar-
gie Henderson, Carolyn Tinklepaugh, Mil Martin, Marilyn Cox, Adel-
aide Ryall, and Pat Cortelyou. The SAE brothers completed the week-
end with a house dance Saturday night which many gals attended.

I saw Virginia Clift hanging her brown satin formal in the closet.
She .said that she wore it to the Miami Triad at Tech. This must have
been a wonderful dance. Kassie Simmons looked lovely in a short
pink formal with matching pink satin opera pumps. Kassie vividly
described Connie Major's lime green formal and Jane Puekett's white
taffeta ballerina sprinkled with rhinestones. The Tech fellows also
escorted Barbara Yowell, Mabel Milton, Aline Hight, and Mary Hayes
Barber to this dance.

The society reporters also got the word on the Tech PiKA formal.
This dance was a black and white ball, and was at the Druid Hills
Country club. Frances Vandiver, Dot Oatley, and Carolyn Barksdale
agree that this dance was THE formal last weekend. However, Diane
Morris disagrees she had a fine time at the Theta Chi formal. The
Chi Phi formal was also Friday night and Carol Solomon, Adaline
Miller, Nancy Hobbs, and Barbara Stainton attended.

And that isn't all, Diary the Emory IFC gave a lovely dance in
'the gym last Saturday night. The Emory fellows called this dance
the De-icer ball, and a court of seven lovely de-icers was presented.
One of the seven was Elinor Ryan, who graduated from Agnes Scott
last year. Dancing to the music of Elliott Lawrence were Lil Kneeland
in a gold dress, Shirley Heath in a blue velvet ballerina, and Ann
Herman in a blue net ballerina with seed pearls sprinkled on the bod-
ice. In front of the ATO crest were Ann Boyer, Dot Duckworth, Ann
Goolsby, Sally Veale, and Sylvia Williams. Some more Agnes Scotters
at this dance were Elinor Taylor, Dianne Shell, Ann Parker, Bet Lin-
ton, June Carpenter, Helen Land, Adele Thompson, Libby Shontz,
Katherine Loemker, Pat Patterson, Tibby King, Betty Moon, Ruth
Gudmundson, Bonnie Sanders, Susan Gauger, Betty Ann Green, Betsy
Hodges, Virginia Claire Hayes, Carolyn Monroe, and Nancy Ruffner.

Another reporter says there was a co-op dance at Tech which
Peggy Harper and Betty Lam thoroughly enjoyed. It was reported
that Nimmo Howard entertained six house guests from New York
city.

Seniors Win

Basketball

Tournament

By Anne Brooke

The seniors won their final
game and the basketball tourna-
ment Friday afternoon when they
defeated the freshmen 24-18. The
juniors came in second, beating
the sophomores 18-7. The senior-
freshman game was close through-
out, with both teams playing a
hard fast game.

In the fourth quarter it seemed
that the tide had turned in favor
of the freshmen when one senior
forward fouled out and another
was injured, leaving only two to
play. Betty Ziegler and Betty
Esco managed to put up a good
fight, however, and Freddie Hach-
tel was soon able to come back in.
Kitty Loemker was high scorer
for the seniors with 12 points.
The sophomore team could not
seem to click, and the juniors led
by a wide margin all the way.
Edith Petrie and Winnie Strozier
both scored seven points for the
juniors.

Those playing for the seniors
were forwards Betty Esco, Kitty
Loemker, Freddie Hachtel, and
Betty Ziegler; guards, Barbara
Caldwell, Freddie Hachtel, Virgin-
ia Arnold, and Jenelle Spear.

Freshman players were forwards
Irene Sasso, Jackie Josey, Elinor
Taylor, and Vallie Burnett; guards
were Arden Locher, Florae Flem-
ming, Joen Fagan, and Betty Jo
McCastlain.

On the junior team were for-
wards Helen Jean Robarts, Bar-
bara Brown, Edith Petrie, Betty
Moon; guards Jeannine Byrd, Jane
Hart, and Catherine Redles.

Members of the sophomore team
were forwards Donna Dugger, Sa-
rah Hamilton, Patt Martin, and
Margie Thomason; guards were
Frances Ginn, Anne Potts, and
Adaline Miller.

Thomason Announces Varsity Team;
Decides Against Naming Sub-Varsity

Margie Thomason, school basketball manager, has announc-
ed the 1951 basketball varsity. These girls were chosen by
the varsity council not only on the basis of their skill and
ability but also on consideration of their sportsmanship, love
of the game, and personal loyalty. The council felt that it
would be impossible to distinguish

between the players in naming
both a varsity and sub-varsity.
As a result, the game which is to
be played Friday afternoon at 4
p. m. will be between the sister
classes on the varsity.

The varsity forwards are Bar-
bara Quattlebaum,' Betty Esco,
Betty Ziegler, Winnie Strozier,
Helen Jean Robarts, Elinor Tay-
lor, and Margie Thomason. Guards
are Freddie Hachtel, Jenelle

The first of tne 1951-52 campus
leaders will be presented Tuesday
night when Mortar Board an-

campus, at the same time serenad-
ing the campus with the Mortar

This practice of presenting the
Mortar Board president before

Mississippi Affirmative Team
Wins Debate Tournament Cup

By Priscilla Sheppard

The University of Mississippi affirmative team won the top
honors and the silver cup at the All-Southern Intercollegiate
Debate tournament at Agnes Scott Feb. 23 and 24. The cup
was presented by Cissie Spiro, manager of the tournament,
at the final meeting of the debaters from 24 schools in Mur-
phey Candler.

Second and third place certif-
icates were awarded in affirma-
tive debating to the University of
South Carolina, second, and Ten-
nessee Tech, third. Honorable
mention went to the University of
North Carolina. In negative de-
bating, University of Florida was
awarded the first place certificate,
Tennessee Tech, second, and Au-
burn, third. Honorable mention
went to University of Mississippi
and Tulane.

Teams from 10 Southern states
participated in the seven round
tourney on the question "Resolv-
ed: That the non-Communist na-
tions should form a new inter-
national organization." The Agnes
Scott negative team, Betty Mover
and Susan Hancock, participated
but were not eligible for prizes.
The judges were members of the
Agnes Scott faculty, prominent
Decatur and Atlanta citizens, and
judges brought by each participat-
ing team. George P. Hayes, pro-
fessor of English, is the advisor
for the sponsoring club on campus,
Pi Alpha Phi; Mr. Hayes coord-
inated the work of the judges and
committees.

There were many arguments
presented by teams for and against
the stated question, and almost
every team brought forth new
proposals. The affirmative teams
wore obligated to present a plan
for a new organization, economic,
military, or ideological; each de-
nied that the United Nation's Or-
ganization was satisfactory to
meet the present needs of the
world.

Some affirmative teams

posed that the U. N. be retained
as a mediating body and that a
new organization should be form-
ed by the non-Communist peoples
to exclude Russia and her satel-
lites. All proposed that a new or-
ganization was needed to coor-
dinate the Atlantic, Rio, Pacific
pacts and others.

The negative debaters denied
that there is a need for a new
body outside the structure of the

McCain Estimates
Damage to Main

The damage costs of Main,
which was struck by lightning
last Tuesday, are approximately
$9,500, stated Dr. James R. Mc-
Cain, president, Saturday. This
includes only building damages,
not those to clothing and person-
al property.

Lightning struck the corner of
the tower of Main, knocking the
brick corner ornament through
a room. This caused damage to
the sprinkler system, which began
operating, damaging plaster over
the entire building. Water seeped
through ceilings as far as the first
floor and basement.

In order to return the Main oc-
cupants to their rooms this week,
temporary beaverboard and ply-
board ceilings are beir<^ put up,
and Main will be worked on thor-
ougly during the summer. Dr. Mc-
Cain, in referring to the dislodged
occupants of Main, stated, "We
appreciate the spirit they've shown
pro- { in cooperating."

Dinner, Reception
To Honor Lecturer
On Campus Tonight

A reception in Murphey Cand-
ler will follow the lecture by Pearl
Buck tonight at 8:30 p. m. Host-
esses will be members of Lecture
association. Mrs. Wallace Alston,
wife of the vice president, and
Miss Mary Stuart MacDougall,
professor of 'biology, who was in
Randolph-Macon with Pearl Buck,
will pour. Sally Jackson, chair-
man of Lecture association, will
receive. The public is invited to
attend the lecture and the recep-
tion.

The members of Lecture asso-
ciation will have dinner with Pearl
Buck today at 6 p. m. in the dining
hall. Members are Ruth Whiting,
Martha Fortson, Jane Williams,
Katherine Nelson, Sally Jackson,
Jane Newland, Page Hutchison,
Joan White, Kassie Simmons, and
Gail Rogers. Norma Wang will
also attend the dinner.

Pearl Buck will be accompanied
here by her husband, Richard
Walsh, president of the John Day
Publishing company. They will be
guests of the Alumnae House.

nes Scott was in 1935, and since
then he has returned at intervals,
coming every year since 1945.
His visits have become almost an
Agnes Scott tradition. Students
and faculty enjoy his informal
manner as well as his delightful
and realistic way of reading his
poems.

"The Death of the Hired Man,"
"Birches," "The Road Not Tak-
en," "Departmental," and "Stop-
ping by a Woods on a Snowy Ev-
ening" are among those most lov-
ed poems requested by the au-
dience.

Robert Frost has won the Pu-
litzer Prize for poetry four times
and has been showered with many
degrees and honors. In the Unit-
ed States his books have sold
about 375,000 copies in all edi-
tions.

Frost writes almost all his po-
ems at one sitting. "A poem can't
be worried into existence," he says.

He will be entertained at lunch-
eon by Vice President and Mrs.
Wallace M. Alston Saturday, and
at dinner Sunday by Lecture as-
sociation. He will stay in the
Alumnae House for the weekend.

The public is invited to the lec-
ture. There will be no charge for
admission.

'Arabesque/ Violinist' Form
Part of Agnes Scott Collection

By Charlotte Key

Two works from the Midtown Galleries art exhibit stayed
at Agnes Scott after the showing was over. The art depart-
ment has bought "Arabesque," a print by Paul Cadmus, and
Lenard Kester's drawing, "Violinist." The pictures will be
displayed on the art bulletin board outside room 323 Buttriek.

Both men are contemporary
American artists. Cadmus is prob-
ably best known because of the
controversy during the 30' s in
which Admiral Rodman of the
United States Navy condemned
the young artist's portrayal of
sailor on leave in the painting,
"The Fleet's In." It was primarily
as the result or this controversy
that the artist's work was first
brought before the public eye.

Martin Organ Recital Tuesday
To Feature Modern Music

Music by contemporary compos-
ers will highlight the organ con-
cert of Raymond J. Martin, asso-
icate professor of music, Tues-
day night. In Gaines auditorium
at 8:15 p. m., the program will be
the last of the regular music de-
partment recitals of the quarter.
It will last only one hour.

Beg ; pining with J. S. Bach's
Choral Prelude. "O Lamb of God
Most Holy," the program will con-
tinue with the Andante from his
"Trio Sonata, No. IV." The six
trio sonatas by Bach were writ-
ten "for two claviers and obbli-
gato pedals" during his most ma-
ture age of composition. Forkel,
one of Bach's biographers, says

of the sonatas, "It is impossible to
say enough of their beauty."

The other work on the program
not by a contemporary composer
will be Schumann's "Canon in
B Minor." This piece, in the strict
imitative style of the canon, was
written for a piano equipped with
a pedal keyboard.

First of the modern works will
be "Verses for the Nunc Dimit-
tis" by Harold W. Friedell, or-
ganist and choirmaster at St.
Bartholomew's Church, New York
City. The composition is "an in-
terpretation for organ of the much
loved song of ancient Simeon,
which is based on the . . . chant
(Continued on page 4)

Many of his works concern sub-
jects which are not in themselves
pleasing, but the "Arabesque"
differs from them in this respect.
It shows a dancing master super-
vising the practice of the two
young girls who are his pupils.
Mrs. Florence Bishop, instructor
in art, speaks of the print as show-
ing almost perfect draftsmanship
and as being, in its clear detail,
like the work of an old master.
The figure of the dancing master,
especially, gives evidence of Cad-
mus' "healthy delight in the hu-
man figure" and "in the play of
muscles and the stretch above
them."

The other addition to the col-
lection is a line and wash draw-
ing, a gesture drawing which cap-
tures the action of the player and
his instrument. Kester has done
a great many drawings, especial-
ly of musicians and circus people.
This work was one of the favor-
ites for students during the recent
exhibition.

Cadmus, like other modern art-
ists, prefers works of the classical
school to those of romanticists.
He has named his favorite artists
as Signorelli, a sixteenth century
Italian whose works his resemble
in many respects, Giovanni Bellini,
Mategna, the flemish primitives,
and Ingres.

Alston Speaks for Dedication
Of G. W. Scott Memorial Park

By Ann Boyer

lDr. Wallace M. Alston, vice president, was principal speak-
er at the dedication of the George Washington Scott Memor-
ial park at the Decatur Public library Thursday night. He
spoke on "The Significance of the Life of George W. Scott."

The invocation was given by the Rev. Mr. J. W. Veatch,
pastor of the Decatur First Meth-

odist Church. The Agnes Scott
Glee club, under the direction of
Miss Roxie Hagopian, associate
professor of music, then sang
'tLost in the Stars," by Weil; "The
Gloria," by Mozart; and the Agnes
Scott Alma Mater.

Following greetings by the Hon.
A. Mell Turner, mayor of Decatur,
who commented that men such as
Col. Scott, "who mold future lives
. . . never live to see full realiza-
tion of their dreams," city man-
ager L. V. Bean presented the
plaque to Charles D. McKinney,
chairman of the citizens' commit-
tee.

Wheat Williams, one of the com-
missioners of the City of Decatur,
introduced Dr. Alston. He gave a
summary of the life of George W.
Scott and also spoke of the im-
portance of significant events in
his life. Col. Scott, "Decatur's
first citizen," was born 122 years
ago Thursday in Alexandria,
Penn., of Scotch and Scotch-Irish
ancestry. He left Pennsylvania
at the age of 21 because of ill
health, defraying his expenses
South by selling jewelry. He vis-
ited Decatur and Atlanta on his
way to Florida, saying in his di-
ary that he "saw between 200 and
300 wagons in town (Atlanta),
mostly drawing cotton."

"Soldier Without Fear"

In the next 25 years Col. Scott
moved to Tallahassee, formed a
company there, gave his money
and service to the Civil War, in
which he was a "soldier without
fear, as he had been a citizen
without default," and led Scott's
Cavalry. He also moved to Sa-
vannah during this time, and es-
tablished a cotton factory.

Col. Scott moved to Decatur in
1877, and became a pioneer in the
commercial fertilizer business, us-
ing Florida phosphate rock. Dr.
Alston told of several of his enter-
prises, such as the Scottdale Mills
and the building of the Century
building. ,

In 1854 Col. Scott married Re-
bekah Booker of Alexandria. He
was a ruling elder in the Decatur
Presbyterian Church for 25 years.
His "most far-reaching achieve-
ment was the founding of Agnes
Scott." On July 17, 1889, at a
mating with Dr. Frank H. Gaines,

future president of Agnes Scott,
they resolved "that we determine
to establish at once a school of
high calibre."

Col. Scott died in 1903 at the
age of 74, and it was stated of
him in a Tallahassee newspaper,
quoted by Dr. Alston, that "George
W. Scott was one of Georgia's
noblest sons and one of Florida's
noblest sons . . . No citizen- ranked
him in civic virtues or personal.
. . . He has left no wounds, no
stains behind him ..." Dr. Al-
ston, in closing his address, said
"We do well .to honor this man."

Dr. A. J. Moncrief pronounced
the benediction.

Mailroom Troubles

If I Had the Wings of an Airmail

A PEEP BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN AND INTO
THE MAIL ROOM

There's a creepy feeling up the back of our necks and we
know why! We're being stared at like the zoo's prize chimp.
Without turning around, we know good 'n well that a dozen
pairs of eyes are testing their vision (at 20 feet) on the letters
in our hands.

We steel ourselves for the in-
evitable and . . .

"Is the mail up yet?" We're
off! Within the next hour we will
hear that question nigh on to 50
times.

"Is the mail up yet?"

"No," disgustedly, "they're just
sorting it!"

Feeling like a heel for being so
slow, we try to speed up opera-
tions and succeed only in drop-
ping a stack of mail on the floor
and bumping our heads against
the table.

There. Clutching a handful of
letters in our clammy hands, we
approach the mail boxes with fear
and trembling threats ringing
in our ears.

"If I don't get a letter today "

"Now listen, I haven't had any
mail in two weeks!"

"You better put something in
this box or ... " (the consequences
are too horrible to repeat.)
Power of Concentration

Trying to ignore them, we be-
gin to chant Adler, Allen, Al-
lison . . .

"Where is she starting?" "Is
the mail up yet?" "Well, why
is she starting at that end?"
"Is the mail up yet?" "Why
doesn't she start with the J's?"

Sure or ,the K, L, M, N, O,
P's. There is nothing quite as un-
nerving as hearing yourself dis-
cussed in the third person. Next
question ?

"Is the mail up yet?"

No! and it won't be at this rate.
We can feel them breathing down
rheir mail boxes blowing dust
in our faces. If only we can get
through before the bell rings and

Landmarks

Forget Your Troubles . . .
And Sway, Sweetheart

By Helen Land

Let's go! What do you need? Not a thing but a little music
in your blood and feathers on your feet. There's something
about a formal like no time known. Sparkle a'plenty, flow-
ers rampant, and superficiality reigns supreme. "Forget your
troubles . . . just be gay!"

And they are. Or so they seem.
Clapping couples line the edges
to watch the swayers and jumpers
keep fast time to "Boogie Blues."
The little blonde in the corner
pulls at the top of strapless white
net as she pantingly changes part-
ners. The band screams in her
ear, and she strains forward to
hear what he says. "Great dance,
isn't it? What? Yes, I LOVE
the band."

There's the iboy across the room
who wants to try out his newly-
acquired shag. Hesitantly he ap-
proaches a vivacious brunette.
His hands gesture, and his brow
furrows worriedly. Laughing up
at him, she takes his hand and
they begin.

Girls press hoops as they squeeze
to the dressing room. Wails of:
"Pin me, please."
"Do I look all right?"
"No! Not white carnations
again!"

"You can have this orchid. I
told him I was wearing red."

And out onto the floor again
where the lights get lower as the
evening higher. Part of the stag

line confers about the black dress
and the blonde in it.

"May I break?"

"Are you following me?"

"Sure. I always get your sig-
nal!" Accompanied by a loud
laugh.

Strains of "Goodnight, Sweet-
heart" swell; and in the moment
laughs, love, and lasses blend in-
to musical memory. Taste well.
This is the last of the cinnamon,
toast lies beneath. "After the
ball is over . . . the break of day."

the rest of the clamoring, throng
descends. Why don't they go
'way?!! We could get through in
half the time if they would stop
watching our every move!

"Can I get my package now?
It's been here since yesterday."
Patience and Fortitude

"Four-fifteen," we growl with-
out turning around. Give us
strength! If some people would
learn to read signs . . .

Clang! The bell. And there's
Wesley grinning like Santa Claus
with those mail bags over his
shoulder. We groan thinking of
what's in them.

A new crowd rushes in armed
with the Eternal Question. Fe-
verishly we try to concentrate
Williams, C; Williams, M. B.;
Williams, R. (News Item
the Williams outnumber the
Smiths at Agnes Scott two to one.)

At last. We focus bleary eyes on
the pile of second class mail.
President's office, registrar's of-
fice, library, faculty, student,
dean's office ... A slam and a

swoosh tells us that someone has
slammed its box and sent letters
flying back on the floor. Patience
is a virtue. Patience is a virtue.

The Question now swings to
"Is all the first class mail up?"

Yes it is.

"Are you sure all ,the first class
mail is up? What's that stack of
letters over there?"

That's second class.

"It LOOKS like first class."

WELL IT ISN'T! We assure
them in loud voices and three
startled freshmen run for their
lives.

Come the packages. And while
we struggle across the floor with
a ton of bricks under one arm and
a box of lead weights under the
other, a curious young thing is
sure to wander through the door
to see "if that package over there
by the table is from mother." We
stare at her a moment trying to
decide whether to ask her gently
if she ever thought what might
happen if 500 .girls came in to see
if that package is from mother,
or to pull out our trusty six-shoot-
er and put a bullet -through her
head. (News Item Funeral ser-

Raddiffe Will Conduct Course
In Publishing for Graduates

Radcliffe College will conduct a six-weeks' intensive course
for college graduates who wish to prepare for employment
in the publishing field. The course will survey the require-
ments and opportunities of this field, and will provide prac-
tical training for such employment.

Though primarily concerned
with "trade" book and the news-
stand magazine, it will deal with
the techniques common to the
textbook, the scientific book, the
house organ and special-circula-
tion magazine. The student will
work with book-length manu-
scripts on which he will perform
each of the publishing functions,
except for actual printing. He
will, in turn, do the work of a first
reader, of an editor, including cor-
rection, cutting, criticism, and
copy editing. He will plan typog-
raphy and format of the book.
He will finally lay out advertis-
ing copy and promotion plans for
the book.

The students will also produce
a dummy for a magazine. Special
emphasis will be given to space
writing, layout of pages, paste-
up of art work and photography.
The course attempts to duplicate
office conditions, not neglecting
the fact that publishing is a bus-
iness which requires individual in-
itiative as well as cooperative ef-
fort.

An applicant must be a graduate
of a four-year college, must have
reasonable ability to express him-
self in writing, and show critical
judgment. Typing ability is es-
sential and shorthand is desirable.
The staff is composed of experts
active in the publishing field, who
will lecture and will give criticism
and suggestions on current work
of assigned projects. Academic
credit is not granted for the
course, but Radcliffe College con-
fers a special certificate on those
who complete it successfully.

Applications should be made by
May 15. Information may be se-
cured from the director of the pro-
gram, Radcliffe College, Cam-
bridge, Mass.

Vacationers to See
New York Magic
With Williams

Broadway and Forty-second
Street Times Square Radio
City Riverside Church the
Statue of Liberty! All this and
more, promises Miss Helena Wil-
liams, instructor in physical edu-
cation, who is taking a group to
New York during Spring vacation.
Mary Cline, Mif Martin, Octavia
Garlington, and Margaret Deans,
a recent graduate, are the lucky
four who will soon see for them-
selves all the magic of New York
City in early spring.

The group 1 will probably stay at
the Picadilly hotel. They have
tickets for "Gentlemen Prefer
Blondes," and hope to be able to
procure the rarest of rarities, tick-
ets .to "South Pacific." Their plan-
ned tour of the city will include a
trip to Bedloe's Island to see the
famed Liberty statue, a visit to
Wall Street and the stock ex-
change, Riverside Church, Grant's
Tomb, a boat trip around Manhat-
tan Island, the American Museum
of National Art, and the ever pop-
ular mainstay of visitors, Radio
City.

Miss Roberta Winter, instructor
in speech who is on leave of ab-
sence while studying for her Ph.D.
at N. Y. U., will take the group
on a tour of Chinatown. The
group will eat at exotic foreign
restaurants, and no doubt take in
a nightclub or two. The vacation-
ers will leave Atlanta March 16,
returning in time for classes the
following Thursday.

WSB Platter Party to Salute
ASC During Week of March 5

The Souths most widely heard disc-jockey program, WSB's
Platter Party, begins a one-week salute to Agnes Scott Mon-
day night, March 5, according to the program's M. C. Bob
Watson.

Agnes Scott students are invited to choose all of the music
for the five programs, each run- '
ning 50 minutes. The procedure
is simple requests for songs can
be sent on a postcard along with
dedications to 'The Platter Par-
ty," Radio Station WSB, Atlanta.
Dedications can be made to your
favorite person, favorite campus
organization, or the folks at
home.

To Interview Stukes

On the opening program (Mon-
day, March 5) Bob Watson will
interview student body president
Marjorie Stukes. On succeeding
nights Bob will tell his 30-state
audience about the past, present,
and future of Agnes Scott as a
leading women's college in the
South.

The salute to Agnes Scott is an-
other stopoff on what Bob calls
his "campus tour" of leading
southern institutions. Just three
weeks ago he saluted Emory uni-
versity and climaxed the week
with a special show from Emory's
De-icer Ball. Many students at
Agnes Scott were present at that
occasion.

Emory Grad

The 24-year-old Watson, a grad-
uate of Emory ('49), says he is
saluting Agnes Scott because of
the pleasant time he had saluting
the college two years ago, when
he received fine support. Bob ex-
plains further: 4 1 have man|y
faithful listeners at Agnes Scott
and that makes the college close
to my heart. Agnes Scott stu-
dents give me some of my most en-
couraging support. I hope to hear
from all of them during this spe-
cial week for them."

Each of the Agnes Scott shows
will begin at 12:05 a. m. at 750 on
the dial.

It's Not Hard
They' Say

By Clairelis Eaton

Parking's not a bit hard,
"They" say. It all depends on
who "They" are of course, if
they are driving instructors, it's
not hard, but then who is a driv-
ing instructor???

So, you decide to try it, too,
like the experts frontways first.
Well, the front end looks fine.
Right up against the sidewalk.
You think yourself ready to apply
for a driving teacher's job. Other
cars are honking their horns.
"Must be blows of congratula-
tion," you surmise. "Not every-
body can park a car in only one
try." You wave gaily, gaily, ac-
knowledging the compliments with
becoming modesty.

But the "friendly" faces are
not smiling. Jealousy! But sud-
denly you notice the reason for
their insistent tooting. The front
end of the car is up against the
curb yes and so is the rear
end. The only trouble is that the
back is against the curb on the
other side of the street. You have
ingeniously succeeded in block-
ing off the fairway as successfully
as a detour sign.

"Try, try again," is your mot-
to. This time back end in first.
Meanwhile, however, the space
your had for parking has greatly
diminished. Other automobiles
have blocked you into a distance
of only two car lengths. As you
back, you watch the rear, of
course. One must always look
where she is going! You're doing
beautifully . . . closer to the curb,
you still have three feet before
you hit the car immediately be-
hind you.

But WHAM!!! you quickly dis-
cover that you didn't have one
inch before you hit the car im-
mediately before you. Even if
you did hit the bumper of your
lab partner's new Buick, you suc-
ceeded in parking your own car.
Of course, it's not too close to
the curb (four feet away, to be
exact), but then you'll only be
here six hours. And there's one
bright spot in the future, you
won't have to have such a wide
distance to unpark.

Despife Plaster, Mass Exodus,
Scotties Enjoy Gala Formats

By BARBARA WEST, Guest Editor

Dear Jane,

Despite the falling plaster and mass exodus of many and all girls
from Main this past week, all managed to enjoy themselves this
weekend. You should have seen the girls at the KA formal given by
the chapter at Emory. The dance was held at the Ansley Hotel, and
Belle Miller looked her loveliest in a mauve satin formal. Phyllis
Galphin chose an accordion-pleated flame ballerina for the occasion
and Miff Martin decided upon an aqua ballerina. I also saw June
Carpenter, Frances Sununerville, Helen Land, Betty Ann Green,
L-ibby Shontz, and Carol Tye there.

Besides the KA formal there was an ATO party at Emory, and
Ann Boyer says she had a marvelous time. Mary Stubbs, Patsy
Cooper, and Winnie Horton had a grand time at the Lambda Chi
formal at Peachtree Gardens, followed by a breakfast at Camellia
Gardens. The Chi Phi's at Emory had a party which Virginia Arnold
and Dot Harrison enjoyed.

Saturday night was alive with a pajama party given by the SAE's
at Tech. Adelaide Ryall and Miff Martin were there, while Kassie
Simmons said the Ice Follies were really spectacular. \

Helen Land and Jane Hook had out-of-town guests here this weekend
one could have overlooked them in the melee of debaters here!

That's all for now next week is the Military Ball at Tech, so best
I start now to get ready for it! Love, Barbara.

in his works is a modern freedom
in harmony and form.

The last number will be Henri

is organist of the famous Parisian
church, Sacre-Coeur. One hears,
throughout the fctmposation, the

Junior - Freshman Varsity Team
Defends Senior - Soph Combine

By Adaline Miller

In one of the closest and perhaps best games of the season,
the junior-freshman varsity defeated the sophomore-senior
varsity. The soph-senior varsity had a narrow lead through-
out the first half of the game, the score being 13-11 at the
half. But by the third quarter the excellent teamwork of
the junior-frosh varsity pulled

through, and the score became
21-20. During the last quarter
only three points were made, and
the junior-frosh varsity won by a
narrow margin of 24-20.

An interesting highlight of the
game was the attendance contest.
Athletic association sponsored a
contest offering a cake to the class
that had the highest attendance.
During the half each class sang
class songs, each hoping it
might win. After a solemn pro-
cession of showing each class the

cake, it was presented to the
freshman class.

The junior-frosh varsity team
members were Elinor Taylor, Win-
nie Strozier, Helen Jean Robarts,
forwards; Catherine Redles, Jean-
nine Byrd, Mattie Hart, guards.

The soph-senior varsity team
members were Barbara Quattle-
baum, Betty Ziegler, Betty Esco,
Margie Thomason, forwards; Vir-
ginia Arnold, Adaline Miller,
Freddie Hachtel, guards.

The query argued in the Agnes

McCain Announces
Completion Date
For Science Hall

In spite of the rainy weather
which caused a three- week delay
of schedule in the construction of
the new science hall, Dr. James
R. McCain, president, said that
the building should be completed
as planned around July 1, unless
more bad weather comes. The
shipment of stone and steel was
slow, but there is no shortage of
supplies for the building. The
plans include the months of July
and August to furnish the science
hall.

The new home of the president
is expected to be finished the first
of June, and Dr. Wallace M. Al-
ston, future president, and family
will move into their home around
the first of July.

Election Time Call-For Thought, Not Talk

It's almost THAT time the time when the ballot box looms on ( the
horizon. Elections. But before our blood pressures rise too many degrees,
let's pause and decide what election time really means.

For seniors it means rest, for freshmen, it means an initiation into a
system of choosing campus leaders on the basis, in most respects, of ability
to lead and to serve, to sophomores and juniors, it means that difficult
task of deciding between good friend and good friend.

For everyone it should be a time of serious thought and prayerful con-
secration to the task of putting aside personal prejudice and favoritism, a
time when thought, not talk, should decide the vote.

The retiring senior leaders offer two aids to initiate and guide serious
thought. Vital statistics can be a beginning; it can suggest the names to
fill the initial vacuum created by the question "Who?" It is presented,
not as an answer, but as something with which to start.

Then the day after nominations next quarter, the suggestion of a nom-
inating committee will be posted, a nominating committee of seniors whose
duty it has been to serve the campus this past year as presidents, vice presi-
dents, editors, and business managers of the major organizations and pub-
lications. The members are seniors who have worked with under-classmen

on the organizations, and who, because of their experience in trying to co-
ordinate the various activities, know, at least as well as most students, the
qualifications, tangible and intangible, for the office holders.

Nominating committee does not, however, pretend to be infallible. Its
members have sincerely tried to free themselves from personal considera-
tions in making their choices, but they just as sincerely recognize their
inability to rise entirely above their personalities. Neither do members of
the nominating committee claim to know each girl on campus well, to
know her abilities and her potentialities. So it is that nominating com-
mittee suggestions are withheld until after popular nominations, so that
the student body may, without that influence, suggest other possible
leaders.

In thinking of and planning for elections, may we avoid "pressure pol-
itics," may we take these two guides seriously, but riot as an infallible
rule, and may we realize that there are at least two girls who
can fill an office well. And above all, may we keep in mind that THE
PRIVILEGES OF SERVICE AND LEADERSHIP CANNOT BE VOTED

Mortar Board Presents Crowe
As '51-52 Chapter President

By Charlotte Key

There was a lot of competition from the machinery in front
of Dr. McCain's house that afternoon, but Noel Barnes man-
aged to make herself heard and Catherine Crowe accepted
the job of Mortar Board president for 1951-1952.

Catherine, an English major from Wilmington, N. C, was
presented last might when the
1950-51 Mortar Board chapter ser-
enaded the campus. She is chair-
man of Lower house this year and
was president of the sophomore
class. She is also the campus
National Students Association rep-
resentative and has been a mem-
ber of the Pi Alpha Phi affirma-
tive debate team.

The new president started her
career of leadership before com-
ing to Agnes Scott, however. She
was vice president of the student
body her senior year in high school
and was a class officer for two
years. She was on the national
board of "Student Life," national
scholastic magazine. Catherine's
mother was a member of the
HOASC, the campus organization
which became Mortar Board, when
she was at Agnes Scott.

Besides taking science courses
in summer school, Catherine finds
time for boating and sailing, and,
last summer, to make her debut
in Raleigh, N. C. She plans to
do graduate work in science, aim-
ing at doing research work.

Forum Will Use Felder's Poem
In Spring Edition of 'Garradi'

By Sylvia Williams

Robert Penn Warren, noted author, will lead a discussion
the tenth of this month on a poem written by an Agnes Scott
senior.

Marge Felder's "Supplication" was selected from poems

submitted by college women all over the United States to the

Arts Forum. It will be published ^ N ,

conference criticism.

and discussed at an annual two-
day conference. The discussions
are always -by outstanding art
critics, authors, and teachers. The
purpose of the Forum's activity
is to encourage women capable
of creative work.

"The Game," was chosen for dis-
cussion. Miss Janef Preston, as-
sistant professor of English, and
Miss Margaret Trotter, assistant
professor of English, went to

The Day Of Judgement Fast Approaches
Dullards! Tremble And De Exceeding Sad

And it came to pass that earJy in the morning of the last day
of the quarter there arose a multitude smiting their -books and wail-
ing. And there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth for the
day of judgment was at hand and they were sore afraid. For they
had left undone those things that they ought to have done and they
had done those things which they ought not to have done and there
was no help for it. And there were many abiding in the dorms who
had kept watch over their books all night, but it naught availeth.
But some there were who arose smiling for they had prepared for
themselves the way, and made straight the path of knowledge. And
these wise ones were known to some as the burners of midnight oil,
but by others they were called the curve-lousers. And the multitudes
arose and ate a hearty breakfast. And they came unto the appointed
place, and their hearts were heavy within them. And they came to
pass, but some -to pass out. And some of them repented of their
riotous living, and bemoaned their fate, but they had not a prayer.
And at the last hour there came among them one known as the in-
structor, he of diabolical smile and passed papers among them and
went upon his way. And many and varied were the questions asked
by the instructor, but still more varied were the answers which were
given, for some of his teachings -had fallen among fertile minds, others
had fallen fallow among the fellows, while still others had fallen flat.
And some there were who wrote for an hour, others wrote for two, but
some turned away sorrowful. And of these many offered up a little
bull in hopes of pacifying the instructor, for these were the ones who
had not a prayer. And when they had finished they gathered up their
belongings and went away quietly each in his own direction, and each
one vowing to himself in this manner, "I shall not pass this way
again," but it is a long road that has no turning.

D. I. S. Offers
European Tour

The Danish International Stu-
dent Committee Special Tour de-
partment is offering an opportun-
ity to American students called
' 'Seeing Europe the New Way,"
in which the students will travel by
car with a European guide, in
countries chosen by them.

"The essential idea of the plan
is to provide a new car and a Eu-
ropean student guide for two,
three, or four American students
and permit them to follow an
itinerary that has been tailor-
made according to their own
wishes and interests." DIS offers
this tour non-profit, and will ar-
range it according to the inter-
ests of the student, whether it be
Renaissance art, antique history,
manufacturing of clothes, steel
production, or mountaineering or
fishing. The European guide will
offer assistance in such matters
as translation of the different
languages, hotels, banks, borders,
and tips.

DIS is the sub-committee for
international relations of the Na-
tional Union of Danish Students,
the highest body of Danish stu-
dents self-government. Its larg-
est department is the travel de-
partment. In 1950, tours were
organized for 2600 students, in-
cluding Danes going abroad, for-
eign students visiting Denmark,
and Americans visiting the whole
of Europe.

Travel is by the American 1951
Ford or by the smaller 1951 Brit-

tours are in northern, central, or

Brilliant Military Array Adds
Glamour to Ga. Tech Formal

By SUSAN HANCOCK, Guest Editor

A uniform definitely does something for a man. You know what
I mean if you were at the Tech Military Ball Saturday night and saw
all those Tech men in their uniforms.

The girls that felt that there was "something about a soldier" were
far from uniform in their attire, however. Helen Land was dancing
about in a gold and black sheath of changeable taffeta. Dele Thomp-
son's black hair was certainly set off by her chartreuse taffeta, but it
was black net that enhanced the blonde beauty of Margie Thomason.
Others dancing about with the military men were Frances Blakeney,
Smoky Bowers, Evelyn Bassett, Carlene Nickel, Barbara West, Dot
Hardin, Kay Krauth, Sally Veale, Anne Potts, Lois Dryden, Jennie
Lynn, Carol Tye, Barbara Hood, Helen Huie, and Ginnie Floyd.

An orchid to every beautiful girl was the slogan of the Emory Sigma
Pi's Friday night. The occasion was the Sigma Pi Orchid Ball at the
East Lake Country club. That orchid certainly looked pretty on
Dianne Shell's white nylon net formal trimmed in gold metal cloth.
Seen there also were Joanne Massee and Bonnie Sanders.

Friday night at Peach tree Gardens the Emory "Zips" were showing
that they believed that "all work and no play made Jack a dull boy."
Just ask Ann Kincaid, Betsy Hodges, or Betty Finney if it wasn't a
wonderful formal.

The Tech Phi Delts had their last pre-exam fling Friday night with
a house dance. Mary Ann Wyatt, Doris Clingman, Mary Birmingham,
and Jane Crayton were all there to join in the fun. And, of course,
Millie Allison was there. You know, she was pinned to one of the
brothers last week. By the way, have you noticed that Sigma Chi pin
Florence Worthy is wearing and the Sigma Nu pin that now belongs
to Dot Oatley?

Whew This certainly has been a busy weekend. Way up north
went Tiff Hays to the senior prom at the University of Chicago. Kitty
Currie and Landis Cotten entertained those very special ones from
Richmond, Va. Florrie Fleming went to the University of Georgia.
Ellen Prouty, Nancy Lee, and Joen Fagan entertained visitors on
campus.

in archery, softball, golf, swimming, volleyball, folk dancing,
and recreational leadership. Besides the regular swimming
courses, Miss Helena Williams, instructor in physical educa-
tion, will offer a course in water safety. Miss Williams has
been appointed by the American

ership is designed for those who

leadership, Scout leadership and
other positions which would re-
quire working with and leading
people.

The extra-curricular activities
will include softball, May Day,
archery, and golf. There will also
be a swim marathon during plunge
periods.

Blackfriars, Players to Give
Shaw's 'Heartbreak House

By Helen Land

Of those who saw the wizened, white-haired man on his
ninety-second birthday wave with spirit and good humor to
his movie audiences, there are not many who can forget him.
His plays immortalize the vigor of George Bernard Shaw's
thought.

Here on April 6 and at Emory
April 12 and 13, the Agnes Scott
Blackfriars and the_ Emory Play-
ers will present his "Heartbreak
House," which Shaw himself call-
ed" a fantasia in the Russian man-
ner on English themes." "Heart-
break House" is cultured, leisure-
ly Europe before the war.

Taking the leading role is Sally
Jackson as Ellie Dunn, the inno-
cent, attractive visitor to "Heart-
break House." Her evolution from
experiences within the house form
the core of the play. In the other
roles are Agnes Scott students
Theresa Dokos as Mrs. Hushaby,
the hostess, Amy Jones as Lady
Utterwood, her sister, and Edith
Sewell as Guiness, the nurse.

Emory contributes Ellis H. Rece,
dean of students, as Captain Shat-
over, Mrs. Hushaby's father; fed
Wright as Hector Hushaby, her
husband; Ralph Calhoun, as Ran-
dal Utterwood, Lady Utterword's
brother-in-law; Sam Cobb as Maz-
zini Dunn, Ellie's father; Marvin
Mostellos as Morgan, who is in-
terested in Ellie. and Ed Estes as
the burglar.

The play is Shaw's conception
of life in Britain before World
War I. A fantasy, it follows the
Shaw tradition of using the play
as a vehicle for the playwright's
views and as a dynamic means of
presenting to the audience a sit-
uation demanding new thought.

A Simple Task

Our job, as I see it, should be fairly simple. We're sup-
posed to Report the News. Strangely, we don't want it to
be quite that simple.

As editors, it is our duty to report news as accurately and
as vividly as we are able. We honor this duty, and reserve
the right to print as news what we consider conducive to
student interest, welfare, and progress.

Without your support, we cannot give to you a newspaper
of which you will be proud. Because you MAKE the news
we print what we find of it. Often what we find is inade-
quate or dated. We cannot possibly contact every student
and faculty members each week to glean news. A note in
local mail asking for a reporter or giving information to
which we might be inaccessible would help you, or your or-
ganization, through publicity, as well as aiding the News
staff.

We shall attempt to promote progress on the Agnes Scott
campus. When we' find cause for complaint, we will air it
for you to discuss, perhaps to discard, perhaps to use con-
structively. If you have cause for complaint, why not give
us the same chance? Similarly, we will give praise where
praise is deserved.

We are humble before this our task. We feel that our
"heritage" is rich, and we are momentarily in awe of the
standards we must uphold. With your help and readership
we will do our utmost to produce a publication worthy of you
and our college. Our simple job, then, becomes more than
that of reporting the news we must Report the News
Wisely. A, B.

Editor Bares Soul
To Reading Public

(From the editor of The Scribe,
University of Bridgeport)

"Profs can sit crosslegged on
the top of a desk; dean's list stu-
dents can let down their guard;
student body presidents can frat-
ernize with the masses. Only ed-
itors are required to be pontifical
always.

"Only editors are supposed to
know everything that happens, so
it is taken for granted that they
already know it, and nobody ever
tells them anything; only editors
are supposed to keep open minds,
and at the same time make snap
decisions for each political im-
. passe; only editors are required
to keep their noses out of politics,
meanwhile keeping tab on each
separate lineup.

"Only editors have to guess.
4 *Only editors have to grope
blindly along, trying to put out a
paper for a student body and fac
ulty who will only talk behind
their backs, who will never tell
them what they like or don't like
Only editors never accomplish
anything. Only editors have to
endure the spectacle of copies of
their paper on the men's room
floor.

"... And, when all's said and
done, only editors have the satis-
faction of knowing that their
thousands of words a week are

written down in letters that can
never be erased ... of sensing
that they are doing a job for the
students that no one else could do
in quite the same way."

u Way down yonder in New Orleans" will never be the
same. Three fascinated females descended upon it, and I,
their harried hostess, saw America's Most Interesting City
from a New Perspective.

"Gosh, the palm trees look like French poodle tails long
ones," called Ann from half-way '

out the car window. "Girls, the
tropics, no less!"

I asked June if she'd noticed the
French Quarter on the way from
the station. (They arrived two
hours early impossible for any-
one but them.) "No, we came
through some back section sort
of slums, I guess."

'That was it," I informed her.
What disillusionment.

But not for long. We spent one
whole day in the famous F. Q.
browsing much and buying little.
They stopped at every "spot" and
store to peer and gape. Cather-
ine nearly collapsed when an old
door to an older house suddenly
opened in her face and a sinister
creature stepped out.

The crown jewels of carnival
drew all eyes at the Cabildo, the
state museum, and we all leaned
breathlessly against the wall in
Lafitte's cell.

But all June could talk about
when we got home was the "sea-
food soup," which turned out to be
nothing more or less than gumbo.

The height of hilarity came the
night of the shrimp supper. Our
dates were late and while we wait-
ed we got about as silly as four
girls can get. I knew my date,
but none of the other boys, and
that made it worse. After aa
hour, they were convinced we
were underclassmen at an institu-
tion which was not collegiate.
Finally the brightest boy ven-
tured, looking at the four, "You
know when people go to school

man's market and it's fair that it is. She says, "A young man

comes out of college, willing to start at the bottom because

he's starting on a long life-time career. Most girls plan to

marry. Their careers aren't go- , , , ,

unrealistic approach to the whole

thing. I believe a lot of us have
exaggerated ideas of our own tal-
ents. We just won't believe that
there may be limitations. So we
pick out a job that may be just
plain too big for us and dream
about doing it someday.

Don't plan to drive yourself into
a job for which you are not suit-
ed; the happy worker is most like-
ly to win promotion and no fabu-
lously-salaried position is right for
you if you are not happy!

ing to be lifetime ones in most
cases. So, from an employer's
standpoint, isn't the man with a
long-term plan a better invest-
ment?" She comments on the re-
sentful attitude of most girls, who
want glamorous jobs that pay big
money right away, and advises
shorthand and typing for them.
They constitute a stepping stone
for the beginner for any big job
that may come later; also a girl
may be able to get a job without
them, but often it's not the kind
of job she wants.

Mrs. Barnes names happiness as
the most important thing about a
job, because it brings out cre-
ativeness. To be happy you must
first determine the cause of exist-
ing friction, remembering that
there is no such thing as the per-
fect job, and you yourself may be
the troublesome factor.

She points out that a realistic
attitude towards a job is impor-
tant. "I notice that too many
\yomen who come into my office
applying for jobs seem to have an

you need to say is 'shoestring'
and people collapse hysterically."
"Shoestring" became the order of
the evening.

After dinner in one of those in-
terest-is-lagging moments Cath-
erine asked me with glee to re-
cite some of my poetry. Before
I reached the door, June sweetly
informed the man, by this time
utterly confused, that Catherine
was "our new president of Mortar
Board." Things had now reached
complete incoherence, so Ann rose
to the occasion and played 'When
Your Lover Has Gone." They
leaped at the suggestion, and soon
we were left to laugh alone. Four
more men bit the dust of de-
stroyed illusions about the fair
sex. Girls, we apologize.

Among the other most vivid
memories are Ann's face as she
tasted coffee N. O. style, Cath-
erine's striking the pose under the
dueling oaks, and June's seeing
Lake Pontchartrain and asking if
it were the gulf.

"Fabulous," they sighed as the
train pulled out. The Home of
Jazz thought they were too.

GWA Offers Prizes
To Creative Writers
In 'Words' Contest

Words are everybody's bus-
ness. Even the fingers of the
blind reading Braille, or of deaf
mutes making signs, use words
for communications. People think
in words on all subjects except
music and the advance sciences
in which symbols are used, and
even those symbols have word
meanings too.

The meaning of words should
be everybody's concern. Words
must be the special business of
our most literate citizens, because
the meanings of words affect all
citizens words like democ-
racy, communism, and Christian-
ity. Colleges and universities,
moreover, are assumed to be es-
pecially literate. The molders
of ideas, the shapers of trends, the
voices of tomorrow may be ex-
pected to develop from the stu-
dents of today.

In the spirit of spring, and be-
cause the South has been called
a garden of creative writing, the
Georgia Writers' association now
offers a bit of ;enilizer.

Students inte^sted in writing
music, poetry, faction, and per-
haps non-fiction prose, may be-
come eligible to enter the Geor-
gia Writers' Association contests
for cash awards this spring, and
to attend, June 5-8, the confer-
ence for professional assistance in
writing.

The G. W. A. Bulletin, found-
ed and edited by Mrs. Raymond
Massey, president of the associa-
tion, is just out, giving full de-
tails of the spring and summer
program. A copy has been mailed
to the English Department for
faculty and students to see.

The Georgia Writers' Associa-
tion hopes to have words from
you.

Garden Club Scatters Seed
For Chapel Program Tomorrow

My Dear Madam Editor:

I, as librarian and correspondent of the Rebekah Scott Club
of Gardening, am writing to you to tell you of the latest de-
velopments in our organization. The club, founded this year
in Rebekah Scott, has grown from an unknown and spon-

taneous birth to become a great
influence in the Gardening World.
The ladies of our club have de-
voted a great deal of time and en-
ergy to the promotion of well-be-
ing of underprivileged flowers,
and the results have been most re-
warding and satisfactory. I am
now writing to tell you of our lat-
est venture, which I am sure to be
of the greatest interest to you and
your readers.

In response to a great deal of

publicity and many demands for
knowledge of our activities, the
Garden Club has chosen to have
their next meeting in Gaines
Chapel. The meeting will be to-
morrow, and I am sure that the
lay members of the society will be
overjoyed at the chance to witness
one of our history making meet-
ings. .
Having just returned from a
meeting of the club, I am natur-
ally all afire with enthusiasm
about this our latest attempt to
educate the masses concerning
the niceties of advanced garden-
ing. I heard the reports of the
members with a fast-beating

heart, and I am sure that yours
will palpitate in the same man-
ner when you hear, of the coming
event.

Miss Virginia Claire Hayes, our
esteemed president, first made the
motion that we have our meeting
at Agnes Scott. It was then moved
by the members that we give our
club song and recite the high pur-
pose of our organiaztion. The
highlight of the meeting will be
a report by Miss Donna Ann Dug-
ger concerning a recent theatrical
production which sne has seen and
is anxious for the members to at-
tend. We trust that you will be
present, and that all the ladies
of Agnes Scott will be in attend-
ance also. I am so overcome by
this momentous occasion that I
feel that I must cease now, and
rush out to the restful solace of
my Petunia bed.

Yours in the fellowship of flower
lovers,

I am,

Miss Marion Merritt
Custodian of the Library and
Secretary in charge of Publicity.

Smart Girls Say
Accessories Are

(Released by Sp

Are you one of those gals wh
diwork of friends beautiful c
ers they have knitted, hats anc
and then just calmly sits by
that."? Well, you'd be surpr
but not if you don't try. Just re-
member when you encounter your
first difficulties, no one was ever
born an expert! Even the experts
had to learn at one time, but they
didn't get discouraged the first
time they had to rip a seam or
they dropped a stitch.

Needlework is fun. There is
great satisfaction in creating
something with your own hands
be it something to wear or some-
thing to use in your home or
room at school. You'll find that
those who already know how to
sew, knit or crochet will be only
too happy to teach you. But you
don't have to depend upon the
kindness of friends; you can teach
yourself to knit or crochet from
instruction booklets available in
all chain stores for only a dime.
There are, many booklets and
books to explain the mysteries of
sewing (the techniques really are
not mysterious once you take the
time to analyze them). The few
cents you invest to learn these
arts will pay off time and time
again when you save dollars on
your clothes and accessories. Then
too, you'll be the one who arouses
the praise and admiration.

Now is a good time to start for
there are so many things you'll
want for spring and summer that
are ideal for the beginner to make

Spring Arrives With Orchids
For Future Agnes Scott Brides

By MARTHA FORTSON

Congratulations are certainly in store for many on campus. Orchids
not only go to the newly elected officers, but also to the future spring
brides. Caronelle Smith has chosen June 13 for her wedding day,
while Marijean Alexander chose June 23. Anne MeLeod and Onie
Inman are also planning weddings for the near future. Anne and
Kitty Warren, Marilyn Cox, and Virginia Arnold have received lovely
engagement rings. Congratulations also go to the new wearers of
fraternity pins. Doris Powell received a Sigma Nu pin, Cecelia Schor,
an ATO, and Claire Nobin, a Kappa Sigma, while Louise Ross and
Carol Edwards were pinned by KA's.

Some gals have already received their congratulations and orchids
for their gala wedding festivities. Barbara Patureau, Noel Barnes,
and Ginnie Feddeman repeated vows at the altar over the recent
holidays.

Orchids were received by Winnie Strozier, Mif Martin, Alma Scog-
gins, June Carpenter, and Ruth Gudmundson for the Zip Dental Fra-
ternity banquet and dance. This lovely formal was held at Peachtree
Gardens last Friday night. More orchids went to the Agnes Scotters
at the Tech ATO formal dance and banquet which was held at the
Ansley Hotel. Carol Jones, Jeane Junker, Caroline Lester, Diane
Morris, Mary Birmingham, and Marilyn Michie enjoyed these festiv-
ities.

The freshman-sophomore dance given by the Emory Med School was
enjoyed by Betty Cheney, Carol Solomon, and Emy Evans.

A big weekend was had by the Emory Sigma Chi's and their dates
at the frat's houseparty at Rutledge. Florence Worthy, Margie Thom-
ason, Frances Summerville, Patt Martin, Harriet Potts, and Connie
Jacob got tans in the ideal houseparty weather. The Tech Lambda
Chi's also took advantage of the weather by celebrating their Founder's
Day last Saturday with a picnic at Groover's Lake which Mary Stubbs,
Winnie Horton, and Barbara West attended.

Jeannine Byrd, Marion Merritt, Adaline Miller, Ann Parker, Shir-
ley Heath, Tiff Hays, Annelle Simpson, Sara Samonds, and Sally Veale
entertained visitors over the weekend, while Nancy Hall, Tibby King,
and Margaret Inman enjoyed the weekend off campus.

Nine Make Phi Beta Kappa;
Robinson Speaks at Program

By Priscilla Sheppard

The local chapter of Phi Beta Kappa announced on Satur-
day the names of nine Agnes Scott seniors wh^o have become
the 1951 members of the honorary scholastic organization.
All of the new members are reading for honors in their chos-
en field: Frances Clark, French; Mrs. Mary Roberts Davjs
history and political science; El

len Hull, English; Charlotte Key,
music; Jean Longino, sociology;
Sarah McKee, English; Carol
Munger, mathematics; Eliza Pol-
lard, chemistry; and Marie
Woods, German.

An academic procession herald-
ed the special ceremony in chapel,
and James R. McCain, president,
presided. Henry A. Robinson, pro-
fessor of mathematics and presi-
dent of the local chapter, deliver-
ed the address. Mr. Robinson
chose as his topic "Illiteracy," be-
cause, as he stated, he became in-
terested in the problem when he
found it among so many of the
prospective draftees he interview-
ed. Mr. Robinson cited this de-
ficiency in learning as a great
challenge to institutions for high-
er education. "Although there are
more people in college now/* he
stated, "there are few statesmen."
He stressed the need for a return
to the Renaissance ideal, the fully
developed man.

Mr. Robinson pointed to the
fact t.hat many students regard
mathematics as a "dead lang-
uage," and are content to regard
their inability to understand it as
one of their "pleasing idiosyncra-
sies." Such people, the speaker
said, are seeking an excuse to es-
cape the thinking which is involv-
ed. He then enumerated the many
uses of that science in this new
technological age, and he empha-
sized the importance of a mathe-
matical intelligence in under-
standing statistics, economics, fin-
ances and the physical sciences.

Following the address Cather-
ine Sims, associate professor of
history and political science and
vice president of the local group,

talk, Noel Barnes Williams, re-
tiring president, read the names
of new members, who took their
places in the front of the chapel.

Presentation of Shaw's Play
Provokes Critical Comment

By Allena Doggett

"Heartbreak House," George Bernard Shaw's classic, was
presented at Agnes Scott in Gaines Chapel on Friday night,
April 6. The cast consisted of members of the Agnes Scott
Blackfriars and the Emory Players. The play was directed
by George Neely, associate professor of speech at Emory.

Pi Alpha Phi.

Officers for the coming year are
Betty Mover, president; Margaret
Kaufmann. vice president; Flor-
ence Worthy, secretary; and Rita
May Scott, treasurer. Try-outs
for new members will be held
April 18-19.

Chi Beta Phi

Election of officers and discus-
sion of the regional convention
are on the agenda for the Chi
Beta Phi meeting:, Thursday.
April 12, at 7:30 p. m.

"Heartbreak House" takes place
in Sussex just before World War
I. Although the space of time
since the play was written is a
good 35 years, there is an amaz-
ing similarity between that and
the present time. Furthermore,
it holds an important message for
the audience of today. The play
is a presentation of upper-class
life on an English estate, but it is
more. Shaw is attempting to
show the permanent members of
the household and the temporary
visitors in the atmosphere of cyn-
ical culture, and their endeavor to
escape or seek cover behind cer-
tain standards. The play is an in-
teresting study of the growth and
development of the characters,
and how they are stripped of their
conventions and superficialities in
order to view their naked souls.
The play itself is quite long and
the performance dragged in places.

Friends Honor Dr. McCain
With Surprise Birthday Party

James R. McCain was guest of honor at a surprise birthday
party in the new dining hall in celebration of his seventieth
anniversary April 9. The alumnae, faculty, students, and
friends chose this opportunity to express to Dr. McCain tan-
gible evidence of their appreciation for his long and faithful

service to Agnes Scott, and rep-
resentatives of each group pref-
aced their presentation with a
brief speech and birthday con-
gratulations.

Wallace M. Alston, vice presi-
dent, greeted the guests and pre-
sided over the festivities. Immedi-
ately preceding the speeches, John
Flint brought in the lighted cake
surrounded by flowers.

Dr. Alston first told of the Mc-
Cain entrance which has been do-
nated by Mrs. Frances Winship
Walters. John A. Sibley gave the
greetings from the board of trus-
tees and formally announced the
name of the library to be the Mc-
Cain library. The bronze plaque
was presented; it will be erected
inside the building.

Mr. Sibley paid tribute to Dr.
McCain as "youthful in mind,
body and spirit . . . .commanding
the respect and admiration of a
host of people." He pointed out
that during Dr. McCain's term as
president, from 1923-1951, the col-
lege has erected the gymnasium,
the library, the music building, the
infrmary, the dining hall, and
the science hall.

Since Dr. McCain had often
stated his belief that the library
was the center of the college com-
munity, the alumnae, faculty, stu-
dents and friends established the

Three ASC Students
Attend WSSF Meet;
Tell of Discussions

Mary Hayes Barber, Ann Coop-
er, and Mary Beth Robinson rep-
resented Agnes Scott when the
Georgia Spring Retreat convened
this past week-end, April 6-8. The
convention was held at Camp
Highland, near Smyrna, Ga. The
work of the group got underway
with the three workshops held
Saturday morning and afternoon
in which discussions were led on
tasks ahead on the college campus
for the Christian as a person, an
individual, and a world citizen.
Mary Hayes conducted one of the
discussions.

Saturday night Jack Gleason,
WSSF representative, spoke on
the need for world contributions at
the present time. In announcing
the financial status of the WSSF
he revealed that Agnes Scott leads
all the 46 member colleges in the
Southeast in contributions, hav-
ing donated over $2,500. Ann was
elected member-at-large for the
council of the retreat and will
serve for a year, helping to plan
the fall and spring retreats next
year.

The group concluded its confer-
ence on Sunday morning with
morning watch, installation of new
officers, and reports from the
workshops. According to Ann
Cooper, "It was a weekend of fun,
but we certainly feel that we ac-
complished a lot."

Garbage Can Blues

Last night at supper three salads and two desserts remained
on my table at the finish of the meal. There was nothing
wrong with any of these, and yet they were uneaten. With
the cost of living what it is, this waste is insufferable. To ad-
vocate, as our mothers once did (and perhaps still do) that we
"clean our plates" is not the purpose of this editorial. I merely
suggest that we THINK before taking what is offered across
the counter in the dining room: Am I going to eat this? If the
answer is yes, well and good. But if it is not, why take it
simply because it is there and will look good on the table?
It will look much better on someone's tray who will eat, and
enjoy it.

The dieticians cannot possibly plan every meal according
to the individual tastes and preferences of every student.
The meals are well-balanced, and more clean plates would
mean more healthy students. But this is no solution to the
waste problem, because it would not prove effective in-
dividuals eat what they like, and will continue to do so. Waste
can only be lessened by a process of selection, which requires
only student consideration and trial.

Waste is our problem, our lost money. Money which could
be spent for better food, instead of food saved for the gar-
bage can. Look around at the next meal; the waste is obvious.
It is also unnecessary and foolish let's cut it to a min-
imum. A. B.

Heartbreak House

(Continued from page 1)

the first time.

The beginning of the play was a
little slow and it took several
minutes for the actors to get in
character. However, as it pro-
gressed, most of them seemed to
grow into their parts. The play
reflected good directing and good
theater so far as devices and stage
technique were concerned. The
actors had been well coached in
picking up cues which prevented
the play from dragging even more.
Dean E. H. Rece, who is dean at
Emory, was extremely convincing
and very outstanding as Captain
Shotover, the old sea-farer who
at the age of 88 was still search-
ing for "the seventh degree of
concentration." His interpretation
maintained unity within the play.
He was splendidly supported by
Theresa Dokas who was quite
good as Mrs. Hushabye, the mid-
dle-aged but still charming daugh-
ter of the captain. Sally Jackson
took the lead as Ellie Dunn and
at times she showed a spark of
inspiration. Ed Wrigiht was excel-
lent as Hector Hushabye,
the English gentleman who
captivates young Ellie Dunn with
his tales of adventure. Amy Jones
was interesting as Lady Utter-
wood who masqueraded under con-
vention and propriety. Edith
Sewell and Ed Estes were good in
their supporting roles. Marvous
Mostellar and Ralph Calhoun took
the parts of Boss Mangan and
Randall Utterwood.

"Heartbreak House" will again
be presented in Glenn Memorial
Auditorium at Emory University
tomorrow night, Thursday, April
12, and Friday night April 13.
Both performances will begin at
8:30 p. m.

The Biggest Scrapbooks
Cant Hold Some Things

By Marion Merritt

"I remember when I was in college ..." Strange that
there's always a smile to that phrase, a twinkling in the eye.
Strange how no one remembers the titles of textbooks, or
even half of the facts that they studied so diligently for four'
years. But the things they do remember, well, that's like
the people that they are. College '
becomes a way of life, different
for all of us, different for you.
The real values that you learn
here, the over- all truths, those are
the things that you'll remember,
long after the "book learnin' "
is forgotten.

You'll remember the night you
walked across the campus by
yourself, looked up at the warm
squares of light in the windows
on four sides of you, and thought,
"This is college, and here I am."

You'll remember the quick work-
ings of a professor's mind, the
things he stood for, his quirks of
personality, the singing in the
smoker, reading past an assign-
ment in something you forgot to
put down, riding a bicycle on a
fine blue and gold spring after-
noon, the umbrellas in the lobby
of Buttrick on a rainy day.

You'll remember the re-
mark Miss Q. made the morning
you fell asleep in her 8:30, the
frightening blind date you met in
Main one night, the push and
laughter of the 9:30 mail rush,
the night you studied in the tub
in the days of lights out, the
books down the hall of Presser
at chapel time, class songs com-
ing back from supper, the night
you cried with the biggest trou-
bles anyone ever had, and good
old who-ever-it-was made you
smile again.

You'll tell about that crazy
girl that everyone knew, the
"pineapple surprise" and the "you-
name-it" salads in the dining
room, and the way gym clothes
fit. You'll remember the little
things that go to make up the big
thing, your days at college.

Church Groups
Elect New Officers

Denominational groups elected
new officers last Wednesday morn-
ing. Vivian Weaver and Deche
Armstrong are president and
treasurer, respectively, of the
Episcopalian Canterbury club.
Kitty Curvie will lead the Presby-
terians, assisted by Julia Grier,
vice president, and Nancy Lee,
secretary-treasurer.

Margaret Ann Kaufman is the
new president of the Jewish group,
and Mary McDonald was elected
president of the Catholic New-
man club. Barbara Kelly, vice
president, and Edna Furbish, sec-
retary-treasurer, are also officers
of the Catholic group.

The Baptists chose Ruth Heard
as their president. Their other
officers are Patti Boring, enlist-
ment vice president; Jackie Sim-
mons, social vice president; There-
sa Dokos, devotional vice presi-
dent; Patty Morgan, secretary;
Shirley Ford, missions chairman;
Carolyn Randolph, publicity chair-
man; Martha Fortson, day stu-
dent representative; Wynelle Nel-
son, deputations; and Emy Evans,
reporter.

Mary Hamilton is the new presi-
dent of the Methodist group.

M.H. Barber Installs
New C. A. Officers
In Chapel Service

Mary Hayes Barber, outgoing
president of Christian Association,
installed the new officers and the
C. A. cabinet Tuesday April 10,
in chapel. The officers installed
were Helen Land, president; Muri-
el Gear, vice president; Bet Lin-
ton, freshman advisor; Mary Beth
Robinson, secretary; and Margar-
et McRae, treasurer. Serving on
the new cabinet are chairmen Syl-
via Williams, social; Ann (Dal-
ton) Jones, Christian faith; Char-
lotte Allsmiller, chapel programs;
Vallie Burnett, vespers; Jane
Crook, publicity; Donna Dugger,
human relations; Betty Holland,
special speakers; Keller Hender-
son, intercollegiate chairman, Al-
ma Scoggins, interfaith chairman.

Following the installation cere-
mony, Helen Land reminded the
students of the need for Christ in
each person's life. C. A. was
founded on campus to fulfill a bas-
ic need, the same need apparent in
everyone's life. However, Helen
reminded, if C. A. is really to fill
the need in each person's life,
Christ Himself must come into
each life not just into the lives
of the few leaders in Christian
Association. Christianity must be
shown to all people in its true

way attractive as well as ac-
tive. g "We cannot constrain our
Christ to the side yard flower bed
to be tended and forgotten. It
must grow along the country roads
that we roam on Saturday."

Stassen Urges Alert Policies
Toward Communism Collapse

(Released by The Ladies Home Journal)

"It is my judgment that there is serious trouble inside the
Soviet Union that it affects the Red Army itself, that, if
aided from the outside, it would burst forth in counterrevolu-
tion if ihe rulers in the Kremlin should begin a third world
war." In his article, "The Coming Collapse of Communism"
in the April Ladies Home Jour-

nal, Harold E. Stassen, president
of the University of Pennsylvania,
gives his reasons for this belief.

"The first important fact to
keep in mind," Mr. Stassen says,
"is that the 205,000,000 people
who now live within the Soviet
Union itself are not/ all one peo-
ple. There are over 175 different
ethnic nationality groups, with 17
nationalities having populations of
over 1,000,000 each. Every one
of these groups other than the
Russians themselves burns with
intense resentment over their
domination by the Kremlin rulers
in Moscow, and all the people, in-
cluding the Russians themselves,
are filled with uneasiness, a deep
unrest."

An estimated 100 people each
day escape from behind the Iron
Curtain. For each person who
makes his way to freedom, two
others are caught at the heavily-
fortified borders of Russia, killed
or slated for questioning, torture
and slave labor. The repressed

goals of a majority of these peo-
ple, Mr. Stassen states, must be
the goals of a counter-revolution-
ary movement stimulated by the
American people. These goals in-
clude the establishment of . na-
tional sovereignty for countries
now behind the Iron Curtain, the
release of many millions of polit-
ical prisoners, the granting of the
right of genuine labor unions to
organize and bargain collectively,
the extension of the privilege to
worship God freely, and the es-
tablishment of a free, democrat-
ic, and united Germany.

Mr. Stassen concludes: "If my
countrymen and other free men
adopt and carry out the intelligent
and alert policies which will take
advantage of the weakness of the
Soviet system and will hold up the
hands of peace-loving and dem-
ocratic nations, I look forward to
the liberation and upward climb
of mankind toward those better
conditions that a free and demo-
cratic world can provide."

Whirlwind Whimsey

Scotties Outshine Sunbeams
In Weekend Wading Weather

By VIRGINIA CLAIRE HAYS

Even though the rains fell, and the floods came, many of the Agnes
Scott Sunbeams were seen paddling about this week-end. Mary Jane
Largen has hopes of bridal showers now that she's planned her wed-
ding for June 16. Betty Ann Green, who is planning to marry at an
early date, will be in the midst of a shower of pots and pans when she
is honored at a kitchen shower Wednesday at Mary Anne Garrard's
home. Louise Moore did not mind the April showers at all she has
a beautiful ring! Dot Oatley is also wearing a lovely new ring, and
the mere mention of showers brings a smile to her face.

The SAE chapters joined Mother Nature in the showers by scatter-
ing pins over our campus this week-end. Kathy Amick is wearing an
Emory SAE pin while Keller Henderson will always remember April
because she received an SAE pin from Tech. Doris Powell is the
proud possessor of a Sigma Nu pin.

In the midst of the great and heavy showers of the Crackers and
Dodgers' baseballs were Mattie Hart, Ann Boyer and June Carpenter.
Golf balls were falling in Augusta even if the rains persisted here.
Ann Dalton Jones, Roberta Williams, Dot Hardin, and Taffy Merrill
were seen at the Master's tournament there.

The Emory Sigma Chi's were not a bit outdone with that small tad
of rain Saturday. They sent a boat over to get Harrietts Potts, Vir-
ginia Lee Floyd, Lou Wommack, Carol Jones, Kay Richardson, Helen
McGowan, Alma Scoggins, Florence Worthy, Shirley Ford, Martha
Fortson, Peggy Harper, Flo Hand, Phyllis Fisher, Donya Dixon, Mar-
gie Thomason, Patt Martin, Jodie Horn and Onie Inman big boat!

The Sigma Pi's took their party from the outside inside to the Fox.
Bonnie Sanders and Dianne Shell were seen gazing at those heavenly
blue skies.

Never plan a picnic in April. The poor Kappa Alphas at Tech
thought Saturday's rain was very expensive when they wound up
paddling their dates to the Empire Room. Adaline Miller, Betsy
Hodges, V. C. Hays, Betty McLellan, Donna Dugger, Jane Newland,
and Gail Simpson were having such fun dancing with those "needa
shave" boys.

Those smart Sigma Nu's at Tech planned a house dance. Shirley
Heath and Betty Mover said it was not at all drippy!

I think that everyone rushed this week-end some rushed out of
the rain, some rushed over to parties. Mildred Gaslow, Elizabeth
Price, Irene Sasso, and Mabel Milton went to the ATO house at Emory.
Clara Adams and Katherine Kite rushed for the Beta House.

I'm not a weather prophet but before you plan a party in the
wide open spaces just remember APRIL SHOWERS. If you do have
that party HAPPY WADING!

Windmill Buleprints Disclose
Junior Banquet Preparations

By B. J. Sharpe

If you've seen people walking (or running) around campus
with tulips draped over their arms, or swinging a blueprint
of a windmill, don't get alarmed. It would only have been a
junior making plans for the annual junior banquet Saturday
night with its Dutch theme.

Helen Huie, chairman, states
that "plans are progressing rap-
idly, and the class is enthusiastic-
ally working together to make the
dinner dance a big success."

The banquet will be at seven
o'clock in the main floor of the
Letitia Pate Evans dining hall,
and will be followed by a dance in
the former dining room in Re-
bekah. Dates will be met in Main
by members of Mortar Board,
who will also serve punch during
the dance.

The chairmen of committees for
the banquet are: Betty Cheney,
freshman hostesses; Patricia Cor-
telyou, flowers; Barbara Grace,
place cards; Billie Bryan, Ann
Herman, Barbara Brown, Nancy
DeArmond, decorations; Betty
Holland, nut cups; Jeane Junker
seating; and Mif Martin, dates.

They have gotten some tips on
entertainment from an alien shore,
and are converting the dining
room into a Dutch garden. They
say it will be equipped with every-
thing from a windmill to a leaking
dike.

The echoes of clicking sounds
coming down the hall are, no
doubt, the clicking of wooden
shoes, and a statement such as,
"No, it doesnt have a point," is
probably part of an argument on
"How to cut a pattern of a Dutch
hat"

These things may be encounter-
ed all week, so if someone asks
you a question such as "How do
you make a tulip stand up
straight?", don't be unsuspecting
you haven't overlooked "good
neighbor week."

Colder, Students to Present
Television Series Program

People of the television vicinity in and around Atlanta will
"live and learn" about many important topics through tele-

cover a different topic. Among these programs will be an
astronomy program to be given by W. A. Calder, professor
of physics and astronomy, and
Catherine Crowe, Carol Jacob,
Deche Armstrong, Ellen Hunter,
Mary Ann Garrard, and Priscilla
Sheppard.

They will show photographs of
the stars throughout the ages
and they will give the human in-
terest story of the stars. An in-
teresting point to be brought out
is the story of one of the earliest
observations of a star. It occurred
between 42-41 B. C. Egyptians
observed the "dog stars" and
found that one of the stars, "Si-
rius," could be seen rising before
the sun every year about the time
of the annual flood of the Nile.
The rising of this star soon be-
came the indication of the begin-
ning of the farming season.

Atlanta Operas Will Begin
Monday With Troyatore'

By Barbara West

Opera-lovers are excited about the program to be presented
in Atlanta this coming Monday, April 23-25 at the Fox the-
atre. There are to be five operas this season, with a twin
bill offered at the matinee performance on Wednesday after-
noon. The repertoire includes "II Trovatore," Verdi; "Die
Fledermaus" by Johann Strauss,

spectacular success at its very
first performance and lifted its
composer from obscurity to fame
and fortune overnight. Ironically
titled "Rustic Chivalry," the opera
deals with anything but chivalry.
It is a grim story of illicit love
and revenge, and the fact that the
events take place on an Easter
morning adds still further to the
dramatic effect.

Action centers around Turiddu,
(Richard Tucker, tenor), a young
soldier, whose mother (Lucia,
played by Thelma Votipka, con-
tralto) keeps a wineshop in the
(Continued on page 2)

which is being revived this year
for the first time in a number of
years; "Cavalleria Rusticana,"
Mascagni; "Pagiiacci," Leoncav-
allo; and "II Barbiere Di Siviglia,"
Rossini.

The leading roles in "II Trova-
tore" are Leonora, titled lady-in-
waiting, played by Zinka Milanov,
soprano; Azucena, the gypsy, por-
trayed by Blanche Thebom, con-
tralto; Manrico, the troubador and
brother of Count di Luna, inter-
preted by Kurt Baum, tenor; and
the Count di Luna himself. Robert
Merrill was to have played this
part. This opera is the story of
two men competing for the love
of one woman, Lenora. Count di
Luna declares his undying love,
but he soon discovers he has a ri-
val, a lowly troubador. Lenora
loves Manrico and is faithful to
him throughout the opera, but
there is more to the plot than a
triangle. ,

The second opera of the season
is a revival of "Die Fledermaus"
by Johann Strauss. Howard Di-
etz has written the new English
lyrics while the new English text
and staging for this production
were written by Garson Kanin,
who wrote "Born Yesterday."

Leading characters in "The
Bat," as the translation of "Die
Fledermaus'' reads, are Charles
Kullman, tenor, in the roll of Ga-
briel Von Eisenstein, a well-to-do;
Marguerite Piazza, soprano, as his
wife, Rosalinda; contralto Jarmila
Novotna as Prince Orlofsky, one
of the comic roles of the opera;
and Jack Gilford portrays the oth-
er comic role of Frosch, the jail-
er. It has been rumored that
Danny Kaye, movie star, was to
have had this role until his health
broke last fall. This is the only
opera in which the Metropolitan
Ballet will appear; Antony Tudor
is the director.

"Cavalleria Rusticana" is Mas-
cagni's first opera; it scored a

New Scholarships

Sarah McKee and Marie Woods
have received one-year all inclus-
ive scholarship for graduate study
in the university of their choice,
S. Guerry Stukes, registrar, an-
nounced this week. The scholar-
ships are being given this year for
the first time by the General Ed-
ucation board, and they cover all
tuition and fees, travel expenses,
to and from the place of study,
and pay a subsistence stipend of
$1125.

The board's new scholarship
program was designed to recruit
into teaching and research some
of the most able graduating sen-
iors of southern colleges. The
scholarships were extended solely
by invitation to nominees whose
names were submitted not by the
candidates themselves, but by a
special faculty committee. No per-
sonal applications were received,
and the nominees were consider-
ed without their knowledge.

Both Sarah and Marie will study
English, but neither recipient has
definitely decided which school
she will attend. Sarah is consid-
ering the University of Chicago^
while Marie will probably apply
at Radcliffe.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS O Wednesday, April 18, 1951

Speaking of Attitudes...

By Marion Merritt

The time: The morning after a recent holiday when the
late returning students were scurrying to make that first
class.

The place: Emory train station.

The action: A stray Atlanta cabman cruising through the
area stopped and did his share to decrease the number of
waiting girls. After about 20 minutes and five fruitless trips
around Emory circle, the driver at last interrupted the con-
versation of the girls long enough to confess that he had
heard of Agnes Scott, but that he wasn't quite sure what it
was and would they please tell him where it was?

This true incident should be quite significant to us, even
if its actuality is a little hard to grasp.

It is hard to realize that ignorance of Agnes Scott's exis-
tence is not restricted tc\ the home-town friends of the girls
from Michigan or to the sophomore's aunt who still sends her
letters to Decatur, Ala. Those of us who are closely associ-
ated with the college tend to forget that there are people who
live perfectly happily without consciousness of our lives and
our community. Almost unconsciously we become so ab-
sorbed in our own affairs that we lose sight of others' view-
points. We sometimes become so concerned with our own
joys, problems, and interests that we feel either that the
eyes of the world are trained on us or we forget the world
"outside" altogether.

One evil is just as bad as the other. The first is an almost
unconscious superiority complex resulting from a so-called
sophomoric outlook which does not pass when the sophomore
year is finished. The remedy is for all of us to make a real
effort to outgrow that attitude and, until that is accomplished
in full, to leave it at home when we stray from the campus.

The second is a self-centered attitude which develops when,
in the rapid pace of living, we do not take time to take our
eyes off our own corner of the county. There is an appalling
lack of news consciousness on the Agnes Scott campus. One
junior remarked that only yesterday did she learn that Mac-
Arthur had been fired; at the same time she, a little shame-
faced, revealed that only a month after it happened did she
know that an assassination attempt had been made on the
president's life.

We need to train our eyes on, or at least throw more than
an occasional glance at, the world and the rather exciting
recent events. We shouldn't rely on a few remarks in Eng-
lish class to give us our only knowledge of the situation.
Current affairs are just as important as French classicism,
even if a knowledge of the former will not help much in an
examination on the latter.

The time has come when we need to abandon our compla-
cent view of ourselves and spread our interests into wider
fields. P. S.

Let's Utilize Our Knowledge

So here we are at Agnes Scott, "one of the nation's leading
colleges for women, etc., etc.", studiously engaged in the pur-
suit of knowledge and the liberal arts. That's all very fine,
there's nothing quite like this liberal arts education, of course.
But keeping an eye open around here may serve to raise this
question in our minds: "Are we really putting the 'fruits of
our industry' to best advantage?" As Agnes Scott students
we receive the best kind of instruction in music, science, his-
tory and the rest, but are we fully utilizing this knowledge,
are we putting it into practice and making it a part of our
daily living? It is important to remember that going to col-
lege does not make the intelligent and educated person, as if
by magic. One requirement for the would-be intelligent
citizen today is a thorough knowledge of world events and
what they portend. We, with our well-rounded background,
should not be lacking on this count. It requires but scant ef-
fort and very little time to stop by the newspaper rack in
the library or to flip on your radio to catch that eight o'clock
broadcast in the morning. You say, "What difference can
this make to me? R. F. C, MacArthur, grain for India?" A
lot of difference. All these things are shaping and reshaping
YOUR world of today and tomorrow and YOU, as the intelli-
gent citizen, must keep informed. B. H.

village square. When he went
away to serve in the army he was
betrothed to Lola, played by mez-
zo-soprano Herta Glaz, but on
his return he found her married
to Alfio, the teamster, portrayed
by Clifford Harvuot, baritone. Tu-
riddu, having thus lost Lola, con-
soled himself by making love to
another village girl, Santuzza,
played by Regina Resnik, soprano.
Before long he betrayed, then
abandoned her, transferring his
affections back to Lola, who will-
ingly took advantage of her hus-
band's frequent absences to en-
courage Turiddu's secret love-
making. When the curtain rises,
this situation is quickly revealed
by Santuzza while talking to Lu-
cia. Alfio learns that his wife
has not been faithful and the two
men fight, Alfio being victorious.

Leoncavallo employed in "Pag-
liacci" a method that has become
very popular with theatre goers
recently; a play within the play
sends this story on its way. The
opera is named for the leading
clown in the play which comes to
a small village to perform. Tonio,
played by Giuseppe Valdengo, bar-
itone, is a hunchback who is in
love with Nedda, portrayed by
Delia Rigal, soprano, the wife of
Canio, the lead clown in the trav-
eling troupe who is acted by tenor
Ramon -Vinay. Nedda is in love
with one of the villagers, Beppe,
played by tenor Thomas Hayward.

Upperclassmen may remember
these two operas from the All-
Star concert series last year in
Atlanta. The Charles L. Wagner
company presented them in the
fall of the year. Metropolitan op-
era company is presenting new
staging of these two operas which
has aroused much comment.

The final opera on the calendar
this season is "II Barbiere di Si-
viglia," better known as The Bar-
ber of Seville. This opera has
the distinction of being the only
one with & happy ending. Eugene
Conley, tenor, portrays the Count
of Almaviva, who is desperately in
love with Rosina, played by so-
prano Roberta Peters. Rosina is
the ward of Dr. Bartolo, acted by
bass, Salvatore Baccaloni, who de-
sires to marry her himself so that
he can have her money. Jerome
Hines, bass, as Don Basilio, helps
him in his schemes, but all comes
to naught in the end because Figa-
ro, the barber, portrayed by John
Brownlee, baritone, is on the

Strange Doings on Campus
Spread Alarm In Ranks

Campus observers have become quite alarmed recently be-
cause there are unmistakable signs of an underground move-
ment afoot on campus. Student behavior, which for the past
two quarters has been rather methodical, has become ir-
regular, even startling, in the past few weeks. Since there
seemed to be no explanation for

the things that are happening, a
special committee has been ap-
pointed to investigate the matter
and to report their findings. This
article is a summary of the re-
port of the committee.

The first significant difference
in normal behavior came to light
when the library staff noticed that
very few people were coming to
the library, and that those who
did come in spent the majority of
their time sleeping or in staring
out of the windows. The execu-
tive staff of the library, always
alert, deduced from this that
something must be going on out-
side the building. They selected
a trust-worthy student assistant
and sent her outside to take an in-
ventory of the surroundings and
find out what was causing ab-
sence in the ranks. It is reported
that the student assistant utter-
ed "Whoopee!" and was heard
from no more that afternoon.

By this time, suspicion was rife,
and faculty members took things
into their own hands. The next*
day the Committee in Search of
Subversive Activities was formed,
and three days later the following

AS Group Attends
Religious Retreats

This is the time of year for re-
treats and rallies among the de-
nominational groups on campus.
Several of the Baptist group at-
tended the annual State B. S. U.
retreat on April 13 and 14. The
girls who went to the retreat at
Bessie Tift College in Forsythe,
Ga., are Ruth Heard, the new
president of. the Baptist group,
Mary Ann Jaynes, Patti Boring,
Carmie Thrasher, Eunice Connal-
ly, and Claire Noblin. The girls
returned Saturday night.

The Presbyterians of the Atlan-
ta area held their spring rally on
April 8 at Druid Hills Presbyter-
ian Church. Mr. John McMullen,
chairman of the Assembly youth
work, was the main speaker. Sev-
eral Assembly Training School
students attended the conference.

The Greek Orthodox group is
busy planning an outing under the
leadership of the new president,
Atalante Anason. Although no
definite plans have been announc-
ed, there are hopes for a picnic in
the near future.

Count of Almaviva's side. Figaro

the Count and does an excellent
job in aiding both of them to at-
tain their wishes.

report was submitted, enumerat-
ing campus behavior which is un-
explainable by rational methods.

1. On sunny days, students are
hurrying through lunch, and are
later seen stealing across campus
in the direction of Inman. These
students wear raincoats closely
buttoned, and carry sheets and
pillows. Later, instead of return-
ing in a rested condition, as might
be concluded from the bedclothes,
they return to their dormitories
perspiring and quite weary. Oth-
er factors noticed are that these
students frequently stop along the
way to compare parts of their
anatomies; one student placing
her arm or leg next to that of an-
other, or by punching the skin
with the forefinger and closely re-
garding the result. The commit-
tee believes that the students are
possible planning an offensive, and
are training in the vicinity of In-
man. The evidence is that the
raincoats must cover a uniform,
and that the fatigue and physical
comparison are other evidences of
an extensive training program.
The committee warns students to
fortify their rooms and arm them-
selves in case of an attack. (The
brooms provided by the adminis-
tration will serve this purpose
very well.)

2. Other signs of a calculated
preparedness are the number of
students going on diets, the in-
crease of numbers in afternoon
plunge period, and the intentness
with which some students regard
their posteriors before taking a
second dessert in the dining room.

3. It has been observed also
that students are hoarding re-
sources for a seige, for each day
more students go into Atlanta,
and return in a considerably
weakened state, bearing many
packages, and wearing an expres-
sion of triumph. These students
go into their rooms and call in
their comrades. Soon following,
there is heard a sound of rejoic-
ing. The most conservative mem-
bers of the committee warn
against hysteria, but it is believed
that secret weapons are being
constructed behind these closed
doors.

Although some older residents
of the campus are taking these
events quite calmly, and remark
that this sort of thing occurs sea-
sonally, the committee warns the'
campus community to be on the
watch for more symptoms of an
outburst, and to organize a de-
fensive militia as soon as possible.

Crumpled Spring Dresses Tell
Tale of Gala Weekend Dances

By MARTHA FORTSON

Last weekend's society life consisted of a whirl of gala spring for-
mals. Crumpled organdy, net, taffeta and all sorts of evening dresses
tell the tale of one dance-happy weekend. Junior banquet was a roar-
ing success. Chairman Helen Huie planned a wonderful evening for
her classmates. She looked lovely in a white net dress with light
green trimming. Class president Ann Herman presided in a light
green organdy formal, while vice-president Emy Evans chose a laven-
der net. Among the juniors who chose white were Atalante Anason,
Sylvia Moutos, Katie Berdanis and Elaine Blaine.

The girl who received a special thrill last weekend was Sylvia
Williams. Sylvia was presented by the Emory ATO's as their new
sponsor at the frat's annual orchid formal, which took place at the
Piedmont Driving club. She sparkled in a lavender net ballerina
which had a flossy skirt of ruffles. Among the Agnes Scotters who
saw Sylvia pinned were Dot Duckworth, Bev Olson, S<ally Veale, Pat
Patterson, Jinnie Brewer, Ann Goolsby, Anne Cope, Tibby King,
Smoky Bowers, Adaline Miller, Jackie Sue Messer, Barbara Stainton,
Susan Hancock, and Regina Cantrell.

Dot Hardin reigned as queen of the Tech Delta Tau Delta Rainbow
formal when she was named as the new sponsor. Marilyn Michie, Kay
Krauth, Louise Moore, and Sue Yarbrough attended this dance. The
Tech Sigma Nu's celebrated their white rose formal. Joanne Massee
impressed the stag line in a lovely blue net formal, while Mary Burke
looked equally nice in an aqua satin and net dress. Jeanne Askren,
Margaret Inman, and Jeanne Hansen also enjoyed this dance. The
comment of these girls about the dance was "oh, those modern dec-
orations!"

Frat housedances were also in Scottie's whirlwind. The Tech ATO's
had a rush party Saturday night which Alma Scoggins, Carol Jones,
Lou Wommack, Jackie Josey, Helen McGowan, Carolyn Tinklepaugh,
Connie Jacob, Connie Ormsby, Eleanor Hutchinson, Lil Kneeland,
Betty Jo McCastlain, and Mary Birmingham attended. The Sigma
Pi's entertained at a party Saturday night which Ellen Griffin, Gloria
Price, Jennie Lynn, Ruth Mallette, Diane Shell, Elinor Taylor, Carolyn
McElveen, and Claire Clark said was fine.

More news Mary Muldrow and Marilyn Belanus went to the PiKA
house dance Saturday night, while Selma Schroth saw the Crackers on
their opening night. Mary Lou Kleppinger and Harriet Durham went
to the Star and Crescent club picnic Friday. Carol Edwards, Roberta
Williams and Kathy Amick enjoyed the fine weather at the Emory
SAE house party at Lake Rabun. Donna Dugger, Martha Norton,
and Doris Clingman cooked steaks at the Phi Delt house at Emory.

Last, but never least, Kassle Simmons received a lovely Phi Delt pin
Sunday night.

Atlanta Civic Ballet

one of the leading parts in "Amer-
ican Suite.''

Mischievous Toys Take Over
Gym in Dolphin Club Pageant

By Calico

"The Follies," water pageant presented by the Dolphin
club, played to a packed house Wednesday night in the pool
of the gymnasium. The members of the club wrote the num-
bers themselves, working out the production problems as the
time for curtain call approached.

The numbers displayed many
styles of fancy swimming, giving
each club member a chance to
show her ability in a variety of
ways. Eloise Eubanks was out-
standing in her solo number,
"Alone," which she also wrote.
The effective use of lights on her
wrists and ankles gave a solitary
feeling to the spectator as he
watched feloise glide through the
water with effortless grace, as
well as a feeling of mystery from
the refraction of light in the
water.

"Little Toy Shop"

Perhaps one of the most enter-
taining numbers was "In a .Little
Toy Shop" written by Frances
Cook and Ann Baxter. Mif Mar-
tin, as the old toy-maker, wound
up her toys before going to sleep
at night, and the toys, Ann Bax-
ter, Frances Cook, Jane Crook,
and Sue Born promptly got into
mischief by swimming in toy
rhythms too long. They did not
have the energy to climb out of
the pool after the escapade was
over. The toys swam with the
peculiar jerky movement of wind-
up toys which was most realistic.

The duets performed by Ruth
Vineyard and Betty Esco in
"Theme Variations" and by Mar-
gie Thomason and Sally Veale in
"Spellbound" were varied, rhyth-
mic, and well-coordinated. It was
a pleasure to watch the neatly-
executed turns and dives by these
girls as they went through the
numbers in perfect time to the
music and in faultless precision.
Diving Mimics

Patt Martin was the leader in
"Follow the Leader," the diving
exhibition, and showed good form
on several of her dives. Ann Bax-
ter as the follower almost stole
the show with her clowning and
adroit mimicking of Patt's dives.

The concluding number of the
show, 'When Day is Done," was
performed by the entire club.
Reminiscent of chorus lines in
nightclubs today, the group joined
together in producing a well-ex-
ecuted precision number. Each
and every individual member is to

AA Will Sponsor
Swim Marathon

By Adaline Miller

Athletic board is sponsoring a
marathon swimming race this
quarter, and the entire school Ls
invited to participate. Expert
swimmers, fair swimmers, and
those who only know how to pad-
dle are eligible.

A. A.'s objective is to encourage
students to use the pool and to
win points toward a letter. For
each lap that is swum, a point it
gained and a stroke perfected. So
how can you lose?

It does not matter what stroke
you swim, the side stroke counts
as much as the American crawl.
Also you can swim a different
stroke every time! So EVERY-
BODY try out.

Ping Pong Tournament

A list has been placed in the

mailroom to sign for the ping-
pong tournament. The deadline

Sophs Win Again
In Softball Game;
Juniors Lose 77-9

Five o'clock last Friday saw the
sophomores beat the juniors by a
score of 11-9. Winnie Strozier
was absent from the juniors' line-
up, but they nevertheless held the
sophs during the first part of the
game. After the fourth inning the
class of '53 came to the top mak-
ing a succession of runs. There
was still a chance of the juniors
winning in the last inning, but
Captain Mary Beth Robinson
struck out the necessary three
players to end the game with a
score of 11-9 in favor of the soph-
mores.

On the winning team were pit-
cher Mary Beth Robinson, catcner
Anne Thomson, first baseman
Frances Cook, second baseman
Ann Potts, third baseman Frances.
Summerville, and shortstop Adele
Thompson. In the out field were
Peggy Harper in left, Frances
Blakeney in center, and Gayle
Harbour in right.

per each scored one run, and Gayle
Harbour scored two.

man catching, captain Ann Her-
man at first, Betty Phillips at
second, Ann Parker at third, Car-
ol Solomon at short-stop. Ann

Freshmen Edge Seniors
In Season's Second Game

By Gayle Harbour

Last Friday afternoon the freshmen were pitted against
the seniors in the season's top sport softball. Due to a
shortage of players, only seven players were on each team.
This difficulty was overlooked, and witnesses saw a very ex-
citing game, especially in the last inning when the freshmen
just edged out the opponents by
a score of 10-9.

The freshman battery consisted
of Julia Grier, pitcher, who made
one run and Judy Promitz, cat-
cher, who also made one run.
Jackie Josey at first base made
one run; Arden Locher at second
contributed three runs; Sue Pur-
dom at third and Cissie Schor in

the right field made one run
apiece, and Pat Patterson in left
field made two runs.

Playing for the seniors were
Jenelle Spear, pitching, Jackie Sue
Messer, catching,' Liza Pollard at
second, and Mary Anna Ogden at
third. Each of these p?fayters
made two runs. Nena Hale play-
ed first base, Ruth Vineyard play-
ed center field and made one run,
and Wilton Rice played right field.

Brilliant Color, Exotic Dances
To Fill May Day with Splendor

By Marijean Alexander

Have you been hearing weird sounds coming from the gym
lately? If you were to step inside some night to see what is
going on, you may be a bit astonished. WHO is that grim-
acing creature cavorting about those veiled statues? Why,
it's Dorothy Fincher dancing the part of the Genii King.
The dashing Prince Abdul,danced '

by talented Diane Morris, is apt
to find his plans quite upset by
the genii and his little band, Phyl-
Ls Hess, Kassie Simmons, and
Anne DeWitt. Yes, you guessed
it. May Day, May 5, is almost
here.

What's this? No, it couldn't be!
Elephants! (If you want to guess
who they are, just watch for the
slight amble in the walks of Car-
ol Jacob and Patt Martin.)

Eek! Now I've seen every-
thing! I could swear I saw a real
snake writhirig in that basket! Is
this a circus or May Day? Any-
way, you should see how that
snake charmer, Ruth Runyon, is
performing in the face of such
^danger!

There they go again! The clash
of those cymbals Mary Ripley is
playing is enough to make you
really sit up and take notice of
the royal Arabian procession fol-
lowing her. The rhythm becomes
even more intense when the drum-
mers, Joen Fagan, Sarah Crewe
Hamilton, Sara Leathers, and
Rita May Scott join in.

Oriental Splendor
The court entertainment is
about to begin, and the lovely
Scheherazade, danced by Kath-
leen Stout, is exotic in her grace-
ful" movements. No less charm-
ing in their roles are the veil
dancers, Anne Sylvester and Pat
Thomason, and the dancing girls,
Donya Dixon, Jane Edwards, Jane
' Hart, Marji Henderson, and El-
eanor Hutchinson. Those impish
little black midget fan-bearers
can't stand to be left out, and
their antics are something to be-
hold! Jean Askren, Ellen Griffin,
and Betty Moon are ideal in their
roles.

One has yet to behold the lovely
ebony, garnet and ivory statues,
but you will be sure to recognize
them. What a mysterious air they
have about them!

But all is not well with the
prince. By the turbulent music
we can imagine his journey of de-
spair through the land in search
of the loveliest maiden. Horrible
beggars beg alms along the high-
way. These roles are played by
Kathy Amick, Peggy Hooker, and
Mary Alice McDowell. Prince Ab-
dul encounters maidens Florrie
Flemming, Tibby King, Katherine
Kite, and Adeline Steans, but their
reflections played no magic upon
the genii's dark mirror. Adding to
his dilemma, a fierce storm des-
cends upon him. The storm clouds
are danced by Mary Burke, Jane
Crayton, Kitty Goff, Genevieve
Guardia, and Katherine Oakley.
Nancy Hall, Jane Landon, Betty
Jo McCastlain, and Sue Purdom,
winds, drive the prince into a
frenzied state. Sudden streaks of
lightning, danced by Jackie King,
Mary Ann Snakenburg, and Rob-
erta Williams, add to the trag-
edy of the scene. It is not until
he is revived by a young maiden,
Marilyn Vance, leading her blind

'Death of Salesman
Will Play Colleges
On 1951-52 Tour

College officials and students
who would welcome presentations
of famous Broadway hits on the
college campus are notified of the
tour now being organized to pre-
sent "Death of a Salesman," one
of the favorite plays of our time,
a t colleges and universities
throughout the country during the
1951-52 season. Henry Senber,
press representative for "Death of
a Salesman," says, "The tour, the
first of its kind ever produced by
the original producers of a Broad-
way success, may pave the way
for a considerate expansion of
this country with particular em-
phasis on plays of special interest
to college audiences."

The play ran for two years on
Broadway, for a year and a half on
tour of the larger cities in the
prize awarded in the theater. It
received the Pulitzer Prize, the
New York Drama Critics Circles
Award, the Antoinette Perry
Award, the Donaldson Award, and
many others. Besides this coun-
try it has been produced in Eu-
rope, South America, and Aus-
tralia, and has been published in
half a dozen languages.

Officials or dramatic instructors
interested in securing a perform-
ance of "Death of a Salesman" on
their campus should write to pro-
ducers Kermit Bloomgarden and

wig; and Pyramus, her press
agent, portrayed by Mary Hayes
Barber; along with the Queen of
the Fairies, Titania, played by
Charity Bennett; and her lover,
Bottom, as acted by Jenelle Spear.

Lady Thisbe, her four attaches,
her secretary, played by Ruth
Vineyard, and her chaperon, Anna
DaVault, are on their way to a
new country when they meet Ti-
tania and Bottom returning from
May Day. Intrigues and more in-
trigues are the result of this meet-
ing. Other leading characters are
played by Nena Hale, Katherine
Nelson, Amy Jones, Barbara
Quattlebaum, and Barbara Cald-
well. A chorus of singers and
dancers completes the cast.

One of the most interesting
scenes of the opera takes place
when Titania sings her aria, "Bot-
tom, Look Just at Me." The aria
is adapted from the second act of
Mignon. In the aria Titania re-
veals her desire to keep Bottom
always at her side, begging him to
forsake his other loves.

Mademoiselle Marjorie Stukes
is to direct the orchestra for the
opening night perform ance,
Jeanne Mallory, , chairman, an-
nounces. Other details about the
performance revealed at the same
time include the advance sale of
tickets in the lobby of Presser af-
ter chapel Thursday. There will
be both reserved and general ad-
mission seats.

"Mid Some Nightmare" is writ-
ten in three acts, and all those
planning to attend Dooley's Frol-
ics are encouraged to come to op-
era dressed to go. There will be
plenty of time to dance after op-
era is over. ,

Do You Want Cokes?

We as a student body were extremely fortunate last quar-
ter when the Coca-Cola company installed three machines
one in each of the dormitories. At the time of installation
we were told that the machines would be removed if bottles
were not returned promptly. Well, the bottles found in al-
most every room, on the campus, and the lines of empties in
the smoker are mute testimony to the fact that many have
not been returned. The number of bottles returned also de-
termines how many Cokes are placed in the machines.

If we do desire Cokes and filled Coke machines, then the
bottles must be returned. There are racks for the empties,
and it doesn't take but a minute to place a bottle in the proper
place, instead of leaving it in the hall of the dorm to accu-
mulate dust. The solution for the problem of the empties in
the smoker must be worked out by those using the smoker,
but it is certain that the maids aren't going to do anything
about it. It is up to us, individually and collectively, to find
the solution. Do we or do we not want Cokes? B. W.

Letter to the Editor

Crowe Expresses Gratitude
For Unrecognized Services

Dear Sir (!)

There are so many services rendered on our campus which
remain forever unheard of and unrecognized. They are ex-
amples of service in the truest sense of the word, because they
are rendered with the realization that they will not be known
to the general Agnes Scott com-
munity. It is these services that,
to me, compose a very vital part
of our Agnes Scott atmosphere.
They would lose a part of their
worth if they all received campus-
wide recognition. We catch beau-
ty in the unselfish service of a
girl who types term papers for
the junior class at large and nei-
ther asks nor receives more than
the thanks of the individual stu-
dent to whom she has given count-
less hours. Her continued serv-
ice is worth far more to us when
we realize that she gives as many
hours of precious Agnes Scott
time as any one on campus and re-
ceives no recognition for it. We
cannot give due praise for every
service rendered. However, I feel
that too many of us do not realize
how many thoughtful services and
even sacrifices occur around us
every day. I will point out a few
of them because I feel that they
are indications of the spirit of Ag-
nes Scott and thus are things of
which every Agnes Scott student
should be grateful.

I noticed three things within
the space of two hours last Satur-
day night which are the immedi-
ate cause of this letter. First, I
noticed on second Rebekah a lit-
tle note tacked to a post. It was
rather insignificant, but as I read
it, I realized it contained as much
appreciation as any letter could
do. It was a letter from Mrs. Mc-
Cain to the Garden club. It seems
they had sent her an azalea
plant. They sent a blossoming
spring world to one who has not
been able to enjoy our Atlanta
springs for many, many years. I
was amazed at such thoughtful-
ness. I am sending to the Garden
club of second Rebekah my thanks
for a most thoughtful service, and
I am sure the thanks of all go
along with mine.

I saw a dietitian leaving our
campus at 9:30 Saturday night
the one night in the week all of
us like to call our own. She,
along with the others who work
in our dining hall, had played a
large part in making our junior
banquet a great success. The food
was wonderful. My date was still
raving about the pie on Sunday
night. I am guilty, too often, of
taking our dining hall for grant

ed. This is just one example in
a million of the things they have
done for us. I thank them for
their service to us.

Boys play no small role in our
Agnes Scott community. Some of
them are as interested in the go-
ings on and the happiness of our
students as we are. Many of
them are wonderful to us as in-
dividuals and as a campus. I was
struck Saturday night with an-
other sacrifice. Junior banquet
means a lot to every junior in ev-
ery junior class that ever comes
along. It could not mean as
much to the boys before the big
night as it does to us. They could
not attach the same significance
to it that we do. Yet, boys realize
that it means something to us, and
thus arrange to be here. I am
tninking in particular of a boy
who went to great efforts to be
here Saturday night because he
knew how much the evening meant
to members of our class. He was
on a choir tour, it seems, and went
to great lengths to hitch-hike
back to Decatur on Saturday just
to attend our junior banquet. He
took a plane out of the city early
the following morning. I thank
him for going t;o great lengths to
make our evening a great success
These notes are simply an ex-
pression of gratitude on my part
for many thoughtful things. It is
a thank-you note to all those who
play this vital part in making
Agnes Scott all that it means to
me.

Yours very sincerely,

Catherine Crowe

Voices from the Past Recall
Faded Glories of Old South

By Marion Merritt

They had a parade downtown Saturday to commemorate
the days of the Old South. There was a great deal of color
and music, there were boys dressed as Confederate officers
and as Southern gentlemen, girls in ruffles, shiny convert-

faces along the sidewalks and in

the windows above. There w r as a

Pinning Philosophy Is Practical Subject;
Tragic Omission from College Schedule

By HELEN LAND

The philosophy of pinning is one of those practical subjects which
is a tragic omission from the collegiate's schedule. A very moot
question at any age as little sister, prospective pinee, mother, or
grandmother the matter is good for violent discussion pro and con
almost any time. Either:

"It's the greatest! Look at mine."

or

"Don't do it. I tried it, and again I say don't do it."

Now it seems to me the masculine view point is the missing link
here. Unbiased myself, I called on one for opinion and received it

Filmstrip of Temple
Becomes Available
To Religious Groups

A filmstrip of the latest model
reconstruction of Solomon's Tem-
ple, most famous building of the
Bible is novv available to religious
and educational groups at cost.

The model, unveiled here last
fall and hailed by Bible scholars
as the most accurate replica ever
made of the ancient temple, was
designed by Paul L. Garber, pro-
fessor of Bible, and built by E. G.
Howland of Troy, Ohio.

The current issue of The Biblic-
al Archaeologist, a scholarly jour-
nal, carries 24 pages of descrip-
tion and photographs on the How-
land-Garber model, which is on
display here.

The 35 mm. filmstrip, compris-
ing 78 frames and accompanied
by an explanatory manual, may
be obtained from Southeastern
Films, Mortgage Guarantee build-
ing, Atlanta 3, Gr., at production
cost.

fun for everyone. Yet there was
something there that was strange-
ly removed from the youth and
laughter of the moment. It was
a voice the voice of a sadly
bent and very old little man clad
in gray who stood and sang the
song that he had heard to the
sound of drums many years ago.
The crowd of upturned faces was
still when the soft, slow words
floated out across the square and
the echo came back from the
church wall across the street
"away . . . away . . . away down
South ... in Dixie."

That faded voice recalled for a
moment the old dream, found in
dusty books and crumpled letters,
and in the stories that my grand-
father used to tell. I stood in an
old ante-bellum house not long
ago, looking out of the window,
hearing another voice making the
slow hushing sounds of Southern
speech, and it seemed that I could
almost feel the ghosts around me.
The land and its people have now
become a heritage. The last cav-
aliers, the "good gray knights"
are gone, Pompeii an' Mandy are
long since freed, and the quiet
has been disturbed by newcomers,
but sometimes, in moments like
those, one can wonder if there's
not something in the blood that
doesn't remember. It's memory
obscured now and misunderstood
by sentiment and jokes and com-
mercialism, and civilization, .the
civilization that was once in these
states is gone, but the ideals of its
builders and defenders should per-
haps be searched out and remem-
bered by a new generation. These
will never fade, even when old
men and tattered banners are for-
gotten.

Land to Represent Agnes Scott
In Engineers' Court at Tech

By Betsy Hodges

Having barely recovered from this last weekend of parties
and dances, we take up our much-marked agenda to see
what's in store for this week. Gad! This is none other than
Engineers' Week at Tech, promising a wonderful weekend or
festive activities. We look a little more closely to see whose
name this is written down here

t looks like "Helen Land" and it
says that she is Agnes Scott's
representative in the Queen's
Court!

We went to see Helen to try to
get "the word" on the big happen-
ings. First she explained how the
contest operated the candidates
are students from girls' colleges
in Georgia and candidates enter-
ed by members of the Tech stu-
dent body. A portrait and a full-
length snapshot of each candidate
were sent before March 31 to the
judge, who this year happens to
be Milton Caniff, creator of the
popular comic strip "Steve Can-
yon." At Agnes Scott our candi-
date was chosen, through the de-
cision of the students, from the
junior and senior members of the
May Court.

Helen explained that the big

weekend gets underway with a
television show on WAGA-TV
from 3 to 3:30 p. m., Friday. Then
at 7:30 p. m. there will be a foot-
ball game, officially designated as
the "T-Day" game. Saturday
morning has been set aside for in-
spection of the exhibits pertaining
to Engineer's Week and Saturday
afternoon the Tech Glee club gives
a concert at the gym (3 p. m.) At
6 p. m. the members of the court
and their escorts dine at Peacock
Alley. And then comes the big-
gest event, the Engineer's Ball
when Caniff chooses the Queen
and her maids. It's to be a semi-
formal affair, formal for girls on-
ly. Helen described her dress;
it's a luscious red job, the very
stylish short kind. Ummmm! We
don't mean to play the braggart,
but we must admit we're hopeful!

Long-A waited Tennis Courts
To Appear with Dry Weather

By Marian McElroy

And the rains came. So the tennis courts went. Because
of the rainy weather, the Nelms Construction Company has
been delayed in the initial grading of the surface for the
long-awaited tennis courts. For about 18 months now, the
dirt behind the athletic field, the future site of the courts,
has been settling. This settling

was necessary because a top ap-
plied to unsettled dirt would even-
tually crack. *

As soon as the weather permits,
our contractors will begin the
grading. For every 10 feet there
should be a one-inch fall. This
grading process should take about

Royal Arabian Prince Finds
Adventure InMayPageant

By Calico

This Saturday afternoon is the time for the annual May Day pageant and the presenta-
n of the May Day court elected by the student body. This year's pageant is to be pre-
sented in the rejuvenated May Day Dell; Margin Thomason is the author of the scenario
entitled, "The Adventures of Prince Ab .L;i-Kader." The story goes something like
this:

"Pr.nce Abdul-Kader was be-
loved by all his people. When he
came of age, there was a great
celebration among the subjects.
During this time Abdul was to
receive as his royal legacy three
marvelous statues, one of garnet,
one of ebony, and one of purest
ivory. The statues were highly
treasured and had been preserved
since the beginning of time for the
eldest sons of the royal lines. Af-
ter much celebration the unveiling
of the statues began. As each
statue was revealed, the people
gasped in wonder, so lovely were
the figures. But when Prince
Abdul pulled away the veil from
the third statue, the wonder and
admiration turned to fear and hor-
ror for there in the place of the
ivory statue stood a purple Genie!

"The Genie jumped and cavort-
ed in his wicked glee, and told
Prince Abdul that he, the Sultan
of the Genii, had stolen his pre-
cious statue. 'In order to regain
your statue,' the hideous Genie
said, 'You must find the purest
and loveliest maiden in all the
land to give me in exchange for
it! With that, the King of the
Genii gave Abdul a dark mirror
which would only reflect the fea-
tures of the loveliest and purest,
and vanished away.

"Thus all of the people went
into mourning and Abdul-Kader
set out upon his search. On his
strenuous journey through the
land, the Prince encountered many
dangers. One terrible stormy
night, storm and thunder spirits
fell upon Abdul and almost de-
stroyed him before he drove them
away. On and on he journeyed,
but still no maiden's face would
light the dark mirror. At last,
exhausted and half-starved, Ab-
dul fell unconscious on the way-
side. No one paused to give him
aid, until a lovely girl leading her
blind father stopped to give him
water. As she bent over the
Prince her face was brilliantly re-
flected in the mirror. Abdul
awoke to see the reflection, and
leaped up to dance, joyful, because
of his discovery. But even as he
danced, the Genie and his band
descended and snatched the ter-
rified girl away."

Margie Thomason, author of "The Adventures of Prince
Abdul-Kader" passes judgement on some of the leading
characters in her May Day scenario, which will be at 5 p. m.
Saturday in the May Day Dell. Seen in their respective
costumes for the producition are (from left) Kassie Sim-
mons, member of the Genii band; Rita May Scott, drum-
mer; Patt Martin, elephant; Joen Fagan, drummer; Betty
Moon, standard bearer; and Dot Fincher, King of the Genii.

MacArthur's Vision

Ed. Note: This editorial presents one side of a very contro-
versial question. The opinions stated do not necessarily re-
flect the opinions of the entire staff.

General of the Army Douglas MacArthur has been fired,
removed by his civilian commander-in-chief, who had every
right by law to dismiss his subordinate. As the general re-
turns home to be greeted by America's millions, the Com-
munist army bears relentlessly on toward deserted Seoul.

The controversy over America's war policy has been a
battle royal between the administration and MacArthur ever
since the Chinese Reds crossed the Yalu just in time to save
their North Korean colleagues from bitter defeat. The prob-
lem is simple: How to win the war? To MacArthur the an-
swer is equally simple: To win, we must fight the enemy
wherever he can be found, and we must use our allies , forces
to the fullest. To Truman and Acheson, the answer may be
clear, but if they have found their solution, it remains a dark
mystery behind the cloak of a status quo war and an offer of
appeasement.

MacArthur was fired because he expressed his conviction
that America should fight or get out. Last June, the presi-
dent said in effect what MacArthur reiterated last month:
the United States must use force. Truman then proceeded
to send our troops by the thousands to Korea to exercise this
force. He has now fired the general for expressing what
once were his sentiments.

MacArthur's proposals for a victorious campaign to end the
see-saw battles and the "orderly withdrawals" in Korea
have been much criticized. His enemies say that if we bomb-
ed the Reds' Manchurian supply bases, if we supplied
Chiang's Nationalists on Formosa, if we recruited large Jap-
anese forces, and if we landed them on the Chinese mainland
to carry the war to the Communists' home base that we
would be asking for a third world war which we are not pre-
pared to fight. Granted that we are not prepared to fight
a global conflict now, but will the Chinese and their Rus-
sian friends wait until we are ready to start their "real" war?
Will they not launch it whenever the spirit so moves them?
Heretofore, they have not needed an excuse to start revolu-
tions. Russia will start a large war whenever she is ready,
but the present policy of expending our strength by letting
her satellites fight is even more to her liking.

MacArthur does not believe that his policies will bring on
the major war, but will serve to call the Communists' hand.
Every time America has challenged the Communists up to
the present they have capitulated. The Berlin blockade
looked like a hopeless situation, but it was broken by the
American airlift. The Communists retreated in Turkey and
again in Greece when American men, money, and material
were sent over. j

MacArthur has never advocated that Americans should go
to China. Rather, he wants to supply the Nationalists and
send them to support their approximately one million gueril-
las already on the China mainland. No American would set
foot on the Chinese soil.

In presenting a Chinese Nationalist's view of Asia, Dr.
C. L. Hsia said, "We cannot hope to negotiate an acceptable
peace with the Chinese Reds so long as they are undefeated,
and we cannot defeat them in Korea. They have only to
withdraw across the Yalu river to safety, gather their forces
undisturbed and come back."

Our allies in the United Nations do not, for the most part,
support MacArthur, and the reasons are easy to point out.
Great Britain, for instance, has a very profitable trade agree-
ment, to ship farm machinery to Russia, and she has a lucra-
tive business through Hong Kong with the Chinese Reds. All
Britain's militarists realize that her 25,000 troops in Hong
Kong are not enough to hold the place for any length of time.
Britain simply cannot risk a showdown with Red China.

MacArthur was fired for only one reason, namely, his in-
ability to see double. He could not visualize Mao Tse Tung
on one side of the Yalu as a deadly enemy, and on the other
side as a kindly, but over-zealous, reformer whose friendship
should be cultivated. The general sees only one Mao and one
Red army, and both, on both sides of the Yalu, are bent on
our destruction.

As Willford King has written, Korea, under our previous
policy, may long be maintained as a training ground for our
troops. There are no signs that our soldiers will run out of
targets in the foreseeable future, and our opportunities for
fighting and sacrificing will continue as Mao trains a still
larger army. P. S.

Appearance of Muse on Scene
Worries AS Student of Poetry

By MARION MERRITT

While wading through an English assignment which con-
tained several hundred cantos of poetry, I could not but won-
der again about a question which has long troubled me. As
I lifted my seasick eyes from the billowing waves of iambic
pentameter, filled with sea-monsters of image and rhyme, I
thought of my question again, and

now I put it to you. The attitude
I take might be considered her-
etical in some circles, but I take
courageous pen in hand to ask,
why does the muse always come
when summoned by the poet ? The
possibilities of even a slight hesi-
tancy on the part of these ladies
would be gratifying to not a few
who now feel that the world is
considerably over-supplied with
poetry. As far as I can see, muses
are a rather shameless group; for
at the slightest come-on signal
from any mortal proclaiming to
be a poet, and a few flattering
words thrown into the bargain,
there is the muse, arrived as
quick as a wink nay, even in
time for the next stanza! Now,
other women, you and I for ex-
ample, would be harshly criticized
for such behavior, but not the
muses. Indeed not, they are carv-
ed in marble and placed in mu-
seums and on top of poets' tomb-
stones. These statues show the
muses in a seated pose looking
thoughtful, or gracefully hung
around a lute, but the drapery of
their skirts cleverly conceals the
fact that Miss Muse is poised and
ready for the takeoff as soon as
she should hear a faint whistle
from some half-baked bandier of
words in a far-flung land. Dashed
shocking, I call it.

Now what do you suppose would
happen if those ladies were a little
more discreet?

. . . Lord John Shelley Keats,
known to his schoolmates as
"Stinko," was seated by the tiny
window of his London garret. He
had already gone through the usu-
al routine common with poets be-
fore composing the midnight epic.
He had gazed at the moon for a
few minutes in order to get his
mind off the grocery bill. He had
listened to the sparrows in the
gable (later interpreted in his
classic fashion as "the nightin-
gale's sweet haloo"). Now he got
astride his rocking horse con-
structed especially by the Poets'
Supply Store, Inc. This contrap-
tion had gears which could be set
to various meters, iambic, trochaic
etc., for aid in composition. The
horse which belonged to our

Four AS Students
Attend Conference

Sybil Corbett, Landis Cotten,
June Carpenter and Marjorie
Stukes were among the 112 dele-
gates attending the Southern In-
tercollegiate Association of Stu-
dent Governments conference at
Stetson University in Deland, Fla.,
April 19-21. Representatives from
47 southern colleges for women
attended discussions on "Purpose-
ful Leadership," "Developing In-
dividual Responsibility in Student
Government," "Particular Prob-
lems of Schools Under 500 En-
rollment," and "Honor Systems."
Cedric Foster, noted news com-
mentator for MBC, was the speak-
er at the last assembly.

During the three day conference
the delegates were entertained by
open houses at the fraternities,
an all-day picnic at Daytona
Beach, and a banquet.

friend had several kinks and dents
in the mechanism, which caused
knocks and jolts in his work which
are termed Spondees and Caesur-
as by English profs. "Stinko" ad-
justed his flowing tie and thick
spectacles, dashed off a prelim-
nary verse or two just to warm
up, threw the switch for the
rhythm horse, and there, swaying
in iambic to and fro, he placed
his little fingers in his mouth, and
let out the whistle for Little Toot-
sie, his own private muse, to come
and give him the needed inspira-
tion.

Now it is written in the Book of
Fate that Lord John Shelley
Keats should be a vanguard of a
new movement in culture, and sup-
ply many gleeful critics with ma-
terials for many volumes, thus
improving the intellectual stan-
dards while Ueediing hungry
mouths, but Little Tootsie just

English Department
Recognizes Service
Of Gooch in Speech

Saturday night the English de-
partment honored Frances K.
Gooch, associate professor of Sng-
lish, with a dinner on the porch
of the Plantation House at 6:30
p. m. Covers were laid for 10.
Yel'ow iris decorated the table;
Miss Gooch's place was marked
by a corsage of sweetheart roses
and lilies of the valley.

After dinner Janef Preston, as-
sistant professor of English, pre-
sented individual favors to those
present, reading a rhyme for each
one. Following this, George P.
Hayes, professor of English, spoke
of Miss Gooch's contribution to
Agnes Scott and mentioned the
many offices she has held in
speech organizations.

Emma May Laney, associate
professor of English, reviewed
some of Miss Gooch's many activ-
ities here on campus. She told
of the organization of Blackfriars
in 1916 with 13 charter members;
the annual Shakespeare play pre-
sented during Commencement un-
der the tree now standing in front
of the Letitia Pate Evans dining
hall; the trip to New York when
the play written by Margaret Se-
well, mother of student Edith Se-
well, won first prize in the Lit-
tle Theatre competition; the tri-
als of producing plays that were
staged in what is now the date
parlor in Rebekah Scott Hall; and
finally, the offering of the Ben-
nett Cup to the outstanding girl
in Blackfriars' productions each
year.

The evening program ended with
the response given by Miss Gooch
to the tributes made by her fel-
low faculty members.

Let's Cooperate On This One,,,

t

Problems on campus are nothing new; we have them
all the time, to a greater or lesser degree. Just recently
we have had a problem which should never occur on our
campus. Honesty is perhaps the highest virtue a man or
woman may have, but some people do not seem to know the
meaning of the word.

Yes, we're referring to the continuous disappearance of ob-
jects from the dormitories, library, and other parts of the
campus. We do not say that a student or students are guilty
of the deeds, but something must be done. The employees
of the college have been found trustworthy in the past; there
is no reason to lay the blame for the present state of affairs
on their shoulders. We as students are responsible for what
we do and what others do.

Members of Student government and other organizations
on campus have spent many hours trying to solve the prob-
lem, and some steps have been taken. One of these is the
privilege to keep closet keys. All these hours and efforts
will be in vain if we as students do not put away our belong-
ings and cooperate with the efforts in every way.

Are you honest? Do you want to be considered honest?
Then do not take any chances, and prove your veracity by
cooperating in every possible way until, and after, this prob-
lem has been solved. B. W.

Aggie Will Watch
As Dooley Frolics;
Tech to Give Dance

Attracting many of the Agnes
Scott girls this weekend will be
the annual celebration of Doo-
ley's Frolics at Emory. The theme
this year is to be historical, and
each fraternity will plan its cos-
tumes and decorations around
some famous character or era of
history.

The big weekend gets under-
way Friday night with a costume
dance in the Emory gymnasium.
Tony Pastor and his orchestra
will be the main attraction at the
event.

Saturday there will be a con-
cert, followed by a tea dance. Then
Saturday night is the formal and
final fling, when Dooley himself
appears to announce the winning
decorations and the queen. Inci-
dentally, the queen is to be chos-
en from among all the fraternity
sponsors. Aggie has three good
representatives with Sylvia Wil-
liams for the ATO's, Mary Lind-
sey for the Phi Delts, and Har-
riette Potts for the Sigma Chi's.
And at Tech . . .

Ray Anthony and his orchestra
will highlight the Tech I. F. C.
dance also on Saturday night, to
be in the Municipal auditorium.

Many Agnes Scott lassies will
decorate the hall, as all the fra-
ternities unite to entertain their
dates with what promises to be
one of the best I. F. C. dances yet.

The dance will be held from
eight till twelve, so all Agnes
Scotters are invited to attend the
seniors' stellar production in Pres-
ser at 8 p. m. and then go to the
dance.

Freshmen to Buy Stove
With Canteen Proceeds

Freshmen will give the pro-
ceeds of their canteen proj-
ect for the purchase of a stove
for Murphey Candler. The
project, begun earlier in the
quarter, sponsors the sale of
snacks, etc. in Inman hall on
week nights and in all dor-
mitories and cottages on
weekends. Jane Crook was
beginning chairman of the
project, and Nancy Hall is
present chairman.

According to James R. Mc-
Cain, president, the stove will
be installed during the sum-
mer, ready for use next year.

Campus Hit Parade Features
Top Tunes In Scotties Whirl

By ANNE COPE

This week we bring to you the top tunes of the week as seen by the
Agnes Scott campus.

The first tune is a dreamy number, dim lights, the orchestra swings
into a sentimental tune, for there's ''Stardust" in Helen Land's eyes
as she is chosen Maid of Honor at the Tech Engineers' Ball. June
Carpenter, Kassie Simmons, Martha Norton, Betty Moyer, C arolyn
Barksdale, and Louise Moore look kinda' dreamy, too.

It's "The Good Ole Summertime" again for Dot Oatley, Belle Miller
and Susan Dodson, who went to the junior class picnic at the Semin-
ary this weekend and we musn't forget Jeane Junker, Billie Bryan,
Shirley Heath, and Betty Moyer, who picnicked with the Tech cer-
amics fraternity, or Louise Ross at the KA picnic.

"Give My Regards to Broadway" or at least to Emory fraternity
row, who put on "Skitsophrenia" or so we've heard from Dianne Shell,
Kitty Goff, Rita May Scott, Mary Ann Wyatt, Phyllis Hess, Sally
Veale, and Ann Parker. Tech, not to be outdone, had their stunt
night Thursday night, attended by B. J. Sharpe and Margaret McRae.

The fourth top tune of the week appears now Those "Dear Hearts
and Gentle People" seem to be beckoning to Florence Worthy, Lorna
Wiggins, Ruth Vineyard, Adaline Miller, and Roberta Williams, who
went home this weekend; to Mary Lee Hunnicutt, who went home
with Kitty Freeman to LaGrange; and to Betsy Hodges, Gayle Harbour,
Keller Henderson, and Donna Dugger, who went home with V. C. Hays
to Moultrie.

Those "Far Away Places" must have been calling Nancy DeArmond
who went to Chattanooga this weekend, and Mary Ann Garrard and
Ann Dalton Jones, who went to Davidson for the spring dances.

It's "Some Enchanted Evening" and Little Commencement at
Georgia this weekend for Patty Morgan, Betty Jo McCastlain, and
Beverly Olson, and no less for Sybil Corbett and Betty McLellan who
had very special visitors this weekend.

I seem to hear strains of "Take Me out to the Ball Game" and no,
the bases aren't loaded. It's the Georgia Tech football game on Fri-
day night which B. J. Sharpe, Adele Thompson, Smoky Bowers, and
Sara Samonds can vouch for.

"Those Wedding Bells Are Breaking up that Old Gang of Mine"
cry Frances Ginn, Lilla Kate Parramore, and Adaline Miller, who went
to Betty Ann Green's wedding this weekend. Frances was a brides-
maid and Lilla Kate and Adaline served at the reception.

"Oh the Roses that Bloom in the Spring" and especially in Thom-
asville, Ga. Mary Evans can tell you all about the Rose festival.

So "Dream," girls, until next weekend, when we'll be back to
bring you the 10 top tunes of the week.

Sophs Remain Unbeaten
Rain Stops Second Game

By Marian McElroy

The weather was threatening and rain was in the air, but
the spirits of the classes last Friday afternoon at the softball
game on the athletic field were anything but damp. The
sophomores edged the seniors 6-5 but rain broke up the fresh-
man-junior 'game in the second inning.

Barbara Quaitlebaum, lead-off

girl for the seniors, opened the
first inning with a sizzling single
to left. Although she stole sec-
ond and th.rd, her classmates
Hertwig, Adler, and Spear left her
stranded. When the sophs got
their chance at the plate, Ann
Potts got on with a walk. A
long fly by Anne Thomson plus
Potts' crafty running, brought
Potts in for the first run of the
game.

The seniors were three up, three
down in their half of the second.
Mary Beth Robinson, 5' right-
handed pitcher, had struck out
four girls in two innings, two in
the second. With two outs in the
second, Ann Baxter rapped out a
single but Potts promptly popped
out to Hertwig, catcher, to end
that frame.

The third proved disappointing
again for the seniors; three up,
three down. For the last out
Frances Summerville, second base,
came zooming in to make a pret-
ty catch of Adler's fly over first.
Summerville singled her time at
bat, but died on base.

Jenelle Spear, senior captain,
led off the fourth ^vith a bounding
single. As she was stealing sec-
ond, a bad throw to the keystone
sack enabled her to gain third.
She scooted home for the tying
run as Spiro popped a high foul.
The seniors, however, did not pur-
sue this sudden revival as Mary
Anna Ogden and Charity Bennett
both were cut off, Summerville to
Potts, second to first. The big
sophomore hall of the fourth
burst open with a smashing dou-
ble by Deche Armstrong. With
her second single of the after-
noon, Ann Baxter batted Arm-
strong in. Spear, pitcher, then hit
Potts on the foot, putting her on
the initial sack and advancing
Baxter to second. Thomson, the
next player up, flied out. But
Mary Beth Robinson boomed out
a triple, bringing both Potts and
Baxter flying home. She stole
home herself, a minute or two
later, to make the score four to
one for the sophomores.

Summerville got under Quattle-
baum's fly in the top of the fifth

for the first out. Pitcher Robin-
son then walked Hertwig. She
promptly rompad in home on Ad-
ler's long double. Another dou-
ble was then socked by Spear.
Both girls, Adler and Spear, scor-
ed. As Mary Anna Ogden, who
slapped out the first home run
of the game, leisurely jogged
around the bases, the score was
tipped in favor of the seniors, five
to four.

With renewed vigor the sophs
bounced back in their final half.
Ann Baxter, who led the sophs
with three hits for four times at
bat, pounder! out another single.
Her teammate, Potts, whammed a
double, whirling Baxter around to
third, the "hot corner," and in
scoring position. That tying run
came in as Thomson drove out a
hard single. Batting clean and
up. Rwbinson did "clean-up" as
she took her stand at the plate,
bringing Pctts home with the
winning run and ending the game.

Spear, who got two hits and
assisted in four put-outs, was
outstanding for the seniors; Rob-
inson and Summerville made two
put outs and assisted on two.
The sun was shining, figuratively
speaking, for both of them Fri-
day.

Juniors Down Frosh
7-1 in Recent Game

As we were on the verge of go-
ing to press Monday afternoon
we received a "late news flash"
that the juniors had downed the
freshmen 7-1 in the game post-
poned Friday. Junior pitcher Win-
nie Strozier gave up only one hit;
the one that she allowed was un-
earned. Judy Promnitz, the fresh-
man pitcher, was ably supported
by her teammates but the juniors
held the edge because of their vet-
eran playing experience and pitch-
ing.

Playing for the juniors were
pitcher, Winnie Strozier; catcher,
Mat tie Hart; first base, Ann Her-
man; second base, Jeannine Byrd;
third base, Barbara Brown; short
stop, Betty Phillips; right field,
Carol Solomon; center field, Ann
Parker; left field, Margaret Kauf-
mann.

On the freshman team were
pitcher, Judy Promnitz; catcher,
Carmie Thrasher; first base, Bet-
ty Ellington; second base, Arden
Locher; third base, Sue Purdom;
shortstop, Pat Patterson; right
field, Julia Grier; center field,
Nancy Lee; left field, Joen Fagan.

College Editorship Position

By Betsy Hodges

The news traveled like wildfire when the telegram came
Marion rushed from the dean's office to the dining hall and
astounded us as we sat placidly munching our beans and ba-
con.- We were all positively thrilled and began to shriek
congratulations at her. It caused a general uproar. Everyone
came crowding over to learn the

The girls will also have oppor-
tunities to interview leaders in
their chosen field, to learn, for
example, merchandising, fashion,
and advertising. They will go to
the big houses and the firms of
clothing designers and manufac-
turers, as well as visit the mar-
ket centers of the industry. And,
of course, there's to be a lot of

Marion's big chance began when
she tried for and won one of the
700 positions on "Mademoiselle's"
College Board last September.
During the year she did three
issues. During the winter quarter
she was taken to dinner and in-
terviewed by college reporter Gi-
gi Marion.

Hard work and ability paid off.
Now Marion has an exciting task
ahead of her. She's walking on a
cloud these days. We're sort of

Spring Song

Another first Saturday in May just passed and another
May Day celebration. Did we perhaps miss some of the sig-
nificance and meaning behind the color and dance?

It seems to have begun with the Romans. "May has gen-
erally been regarded as a time for gladness. The outbreak
into new life and beauty which marks nature instinctively
excites. The first emotion is a desire to seize some part of
that profusion of a flower or blossom which spreads around,
to set it up in decorative fashion, and to let the pleasure
which it excites find expression in dance and song." At Rome
they celebrated in honor of the goddess of flowers, Flora,
with a week of games and festive processions. The custom
spread to the ancient Celts, and then on to most of Europe in
the Middle Ages. In England^ especially, May Day became
an important event. On the first day in May all the people,
young and old, were out at an early hour gathering the first
flowers of spring, the custom known as "going a-Maying."
Later -in the day the fairest maiden in the village was chosen
"queen of the May" and the dances and general merrymaking
were performed in her honor. Sober and staid businessmen
and even royalty took advantage of the occasion and were the
chief participants in the festivities.

Our May Day is a changed one. Work occupied the older
generation and so the children took their places. Labor
groups and governments began to use the power of the tra-
dition to color their unimaginative exhibitions of strength
and May Day lost something of its implication of gaiety and
delight. And yet can we not, in the adventure of Prince Ab-
dul-Kader and the beauty of the May Court, feel a closeness in
spirit to those ancient revelers, joyfully thankful for the
bounteous spring? B. H.

Remedy for Cramming

Two weeks from Friday spring quarter exams begin, ex-
cept for the earlier senior exams. As badly as we hate to
bring up* the subject, this seems to be the most appropriate
and opportune time. We also do see the need for broaching
the subject at all.

For some, inactivity ana exam weeks are periods for much
rest and more movies, little study, and the sudden realiza-
tion that "I didn't know as much as I thought I did" for that
French exam. For others, it is a time when every walking,
talking, and thinking hour is spent in the library or at dor-
mitory desk dissecting the printed "words of wisdom."

Either plan, from our view, is equally foolish. One breeds
mental failure, the other physical. Some middle way can sure-
ly be found, so that the necessary studying can be mixed with
a grain of relaxation. If neither is planned before May 24,
both will be neglected, each ruining chances for the other.
Studying really isn't so painful, if the dosage is not too con-
centrated. We find it rather interesting, every now and then.
(Probably more than often than that, but we wouIdn r t dare
admit it!)

Ridiculous as this SHOULD sound for college students,
from experience we feel it needs saying, and that now is the
time. Begin reading those back chapters of phychology or
organic chemistry now, and do take a few sunbaths during
exam week. Just don't plan to do all of both in the same
short week. And, with you all, we hope it will be short. A. B.

Policy Controversy Rages;
General Meets Opposition

General MacArthur's dismissal has stirred speculation from
all sides and, though the positive consequences of it will not
be known for some time, proponents and adversaries around
the world are fighting it out with words. Last week the News
published an editorial which presented the pro-MacArthur
side of the story. This week the

same author has interviewed a
strong advocate of the policy of
the State department and United
Nations in Korea. The views
stated are those of Cissie Spiro,
compiled and edited by Priscilla
Sheppard.

There is no doubt that the situ-
ation in Korea is serious. It was
serious last month when General
MacArthur was fired, and it still
looks as though there is not sure
escape.

The problem, it seems, is not to
win the war in Korea, but to pre-
vent the outgrowth of a greater
war from it. Any solution has its
drawbacks, but the general's pro-
posal to launch a full-scale ag-
gression against the Communists
in China is considered by many as
almost an invitation to a third
World War.

Some months ago Stalin issued
a warning to the U. N. that Rus-
sia would not tolerate an invasion
of China. There is too much in-
volved for the Russians to back
down on this ultirrfatum. One of
the main points in MacArthur's
plan was to launch a direct at-
tack on China to end the see-saw
battles and carry the war to the
mainland.

The real issue of MacArthur's
dismissal centers around the ques-
tion of civil vs. military control.
MacArthur definitely over-step-
ped his bounds in declaring his
policy for victory and denying
the policy of the president. There
is evidence to prove that, prior to
his last policy announcement be-
fore his removal, there was sen-
timent in the U. N. that China
and the U. S. were willing to< come
to terms. There were definite
plans to propose a truce, and
MacArthur was notified of this
action. Two days before the pro-
posed announcement, the general
sent an arrogant statement of the
terms to the Communists so
phrased that they could not pos-
sibly accede to it militarily or
diplomatically without losing face.
MacArthur had not right to is-
sue such an ultimatum, for it was
a direct policy declaration which
should have come only from the
State department. He therefore
destroyed the U. N. plans, as a
presentation of the planned truce
at that time would only have fur-
ther antagonized the enemy.

MacArthur says that his policy
for action will not spread the con-
flict. Truman says it will. Al-
though the general has been right
many times, he has already been
proved wrong once before in the
Korean question. On Wake Island
MacArthur assured Truman that
the Chinese would not attack if
we crossed the 38th parallel. We
did, and they did.

But we are still faced with the
problem: How to prevent a great-
er war? The administration's an-
swer is to fight on till we reach

a military stalemate. Then only-
can we hope to come to a peace-
ful agreement in Korea.

From all perspectives the situ-
ation is grave. Our one consola-
tion is that the Communists'
prime objective in launching the
attack on South Korea has failed.
They sought in vain to kill the
United Nations' Organization in
one fell blow. It is a tragedy that
MacArthur had to be fired, but
under the circumstances both the
U. S. State department and the
United Nations supported the ac-
tion, for his stand endangered the
very foundations of our govern-
ment df the world organization.

U. S. Passport Office Makes
Going Tough for Our Muriel

By Muriel Gear

So you want to go to Europe? So you haven't applied for
your passport yet? Kid, you haven't lived, believe me!

I started out innocently enough on this, my SECOND visit
to the application office. Feeling sufficiently loaded,
with $10.50 in my wallet, I bought a shoppers' ticket and rode
the trolley to town. As I mount

ed the steps of the old post office
building in Atlanta, I held under
my arm the vital information
(which I had neglected to bring
the day before) proving that,
after all, I WAS born. x Self-as-
suredly I approached the money
order window and handed the girl
nine dollars and the money order
blank to the State department.
And blank it was, for I had for-
gotten to fill it out. To further
deflate my ego, the girl wanted
15 cents more as a fee for the
order.

With little money and even less
confidence I took the elevator up
to the passport office, where
friends of the day before exchang-
ed knowing smiles at my entry.
The clerk who had helped me
checked over the birth affidavit
I now brought. Oh, dear! More
trouble. Dad had not said HOW
he knew I was born. To the tele-
phone!

Dad answered the ring in his
usual ""okay, we'll see what was
more Important than my after-
noon nap" malnner. Yes, yes, of
course he was at the hospital when
I was born. Tell them her head
vvas 13 inches long.

Having previously sworn that
I was not a spy and had never
been courtmartialed from the ar-
my, I paid the office its dollar
and proceeded to leave. "Wait,"
called the clerk; and he handed
me a big brown envelope contain-
ing the pages of application. "Take
this downstairs right away and
send it by registered mail."

I smiled weakly. "Uh register-
ed mail. Er a how much will it
cost?"

The office went through a "Hey,
Joe, how much ..." routine be-
fore a 25 cent decision was reach-
ed. I showed him the 20 cents
that lay in my wallet. Grim si-
lence. Then the clerk, who had
really been very patient, produced
a nickel. I was on my way.

The man at the registry window
was equally as patient. "That will
be 31 cents," he said.

"How much?" The bars on his
window gave a little jerk.

"Twenty-five cents plus six cents
for stamps."

"Ho, ha! Well, what d'ya know!"

I retrieved the envelope and turn-
ed away. There was only one thing
to do.

Back to the passport office. I
was quite a stammering picture,
but the* clerk reached for the six
cents with a twinkle. Secretaries
were bent doable over their type-
writers and the other applicants
in the office were chuckling au-
dibly. With a purple face I hur-
ried out.

Down the hall, in and out of
the elevator (for the operator and
I were getting to be great pals),
to and from the registry window,
laughing voices called out, "Bon
voyage!" "Have a good time!" or
"Come see us when you get back'"

The man who registered the en-
velope only said, "Little lady,
hope you take a little more money
over there than you have this af-
ternoon."

Clutching my shoppers' ticket,
I fled.

Emory, Go. Tech Skirmishes
Cause Desertion in AS Ranks

By VIRGINIA CLAIRE HAYS

This war has taken on a new aspect. It was Emory U. against
Tech this weekend. The Emory camp was under the command of
Captain Goodrich C. Dooley. It seems that they had a rather strange
army. It was composed of French peasants, Roman soldiers, Indians,
can-can girls, alligators, gold miners and cowboys. Those soldiers
from Emory believe that variety is the spice of life, especially the
battle. Many of the Agnes Scott soldiers deserted to join up with
those troops. The word is going around that the chow over there is
better than the chow in this camp. General Tony Pastor was in
charge of leading the battle for this weekend. Those that deserted
were Virginia Lee Floyd, Carol Tye, Connie Jacob, Gail Rogers, Ellen
Prouty, Joanne Massee, Marg Hunt, Marg Lumpkin, Jayne Puckett,
Ann Parker, Ann Herman, Flo Worthy, Phyllis Galphin, Margie
Thomason, Frances Summerville, Ann Potts, Jodie Horn, Patt Martin,
Jane Crayton, Kitty Goff, Phyllis Hess, Mary Holland, Mary Pritchett,
Bonnie Sanders, Helen Land, Dianne Shell, Betty Lam, June Car-
penter, Mary Lindsey, Georgie Buehanan, Ruth Runyon, Lindy Taylor,
Betty Ann Green Rush, Carol Jones, Connie Major, Harriette Potts,
Frances Sistar, Eleanor Hutchinson, Marcia Rosenfield, Betty Jo
MeC astlain, Lou Wommaek, Harriet Durham, Sara Rose, Helen Mc-
Gowan, Doris Powell, Donna Dugger, Martha Norton, Joann Sayles,
Betsy Hodges, Flo Hand, Betty McLellan, Roberta Williams, Eunice
Connally, Frances Cook, Kathy Amick, Carol Edwards, Betty Cheney,
Bev Olson, Sally Veale, Tibby King, and Nancy Whetstone. What an
army!! Mary Lindsey was chosen sweetheart of the battle.

In the enemy camp over at Georgia Tech, IFC was in command.
Now, their army was put together more uniformerly than Emory's
army. One could find many Agnes Scott girls over there who had also
deserted. It seems the reason they deserted is because of longer
leaves. They have longer weekends and less hours in the classrooms.
Attention to those who have not deserted: Time Limit Has Been
Moved Up Until 8:00. Gloria Price, Caroline Lester, Barbara Hood,
Marion MeElroy, Margaret Cousar, Dele Thompson, Carlene Nickel,
Kay Rrauth, Jackie Pfarr, Jane Hill, Keller Henderson, Sue Purdom,
Millie Allison, Mif Martin, Adelaide Ryall, Nancy DeArmond, B. J.
Sharpe, Margaret Inman, Margaret Andes, Winnie Horton, Carolyn
Barksdale, Louise Moore, Kassie Simmons, Betty McLean, Ann Boyer,
Patsy Cooper, Jane Williams, Mary Stubbs, Barbara West, Jackie
King, Barbara Quattlebaum, Phyllis Fisher, Katherine Oakley, Anne
Sears, Mabel Milton, Barbara Yowell, Cissie Schor, Catherine Kite,
Elizabeth Price, Connie Ormsby, Irene Sasso, Adaline Miller, Louise
Ross, Allena Doggett, Jane Newland, and Aline Hight were led into
battle by a young man carrying a horn General Ray Anthony. What
a charge!

There were some people around here who were more interested in
peace than war. Pat Cortelyou, Sylvia Williams, Carolyn Barksdale,
and Marion Tennant have beautiful new diamond engagement rings.
They have decided on the great life battle marriage. Carlene Nickel
is proud of a medal she won a Delta Sig pin while Mary Birming-
ham is equally proud of her Kappa Sig pin.

1 never did hear how the fight came out. Maybe if you see some
of the deserters sneaking back on campus you could ask them.

Mary Lindsey Rules
As Queen of Frolics

By MARION MERRITT

The big ' dream of a lifetime
came true for Mary Lindsey last
Saturday night. Mary, who is
sponsor of the Phi Delta Theta
fraternity, was presented as queen
of Dooley's Frolics, the big week-
end of the year on the Emory
campus! Each fraternity on cam-
pus, and the Campus club, the in-
dependents' organization, present-
ed their sponsor as candidate for
queen, and the girl who was chos-
en was announced as the surprise
of the evening at the formal dance
which was Saturday night.

The judges who picked the
queen and all the sponsors were
entertained with a tea in the
Alumni building Sunday, April 29.
Tommy Tidmore, who was chair-
man of the Dooley festivities, in-
troduced each girl to the judges.

Mary, who is a sophomore from
Griffin and president of her class
for the coming year, wore a short
formal to the dance.

After she was presented as
queen, Mary was given a beautiful
silver tray, a gift which will al-
ways be treasured as a momen-
to of a big occasion. When she
arrived at the fraternity house
after the dance, the Phi Delts
had' gathered on the columned
porch to serenade her with the
traditional song, "Moonlight and
White Carnations." Each member
congratulated their queen with the
right gesture, a kiss. Mary's night
of happiness was complete!

Ambition, Enterprise Pay Off
In Rewarding Summer Jobs

By Betsy Hodges

With May here, summer is just around the corner and it's
time you began to think what you're going to do on those hot
July days. After all, it really does seem futile to waste the
whole summer loafing around the house, doesn't it? Especial-
ly when the "Summer Jobs for College Students" field seems

to be expanding all the time. Tak- 1 , , . , ,

ing this warm May weather as our I

recreation at camps, especially

cue, we decided to delve into the
summer experiences of Agnes
Scott students in recent years.

It seems that the two major
reasons that students have be-
come increasingly interested in
working during the summer
months are to earn for college ex-
penses and to gain experience for
jobs or careers later on. In seek-
ing a position, a willingness to
take whatever job is available is
definitely a prerequisite. Those
who have never held summer or
part-time jobs before may find a
great deal of opposition from em-
ployers because of their lack of
experience. However, upon con-
sulting the records, we found that
students with little or no experi-
ence but with a great deal of in-

genuity and determination to suc-

Social Committee Undergoes
Reorganization; Begins Work

Social committee has undergone a complete reorganization
this quarter. Formerly, one representative was selected by
the committee from each dormitory floor and each cottage to
serve with them. In order to make the committee more rep-
resentative of the student body, two members are now to be
elected from each class. In ad-

dition to these representatives,
the committee will include the sec-
retary-treasurer, and the presi-
dents of Cotillion and Grand-
daughter's club. Ex officio mem-
bers are the social chairmen of
AA and CA and the Student gov-
ernment representative in charge
of Murphey Candler.

The representatives elected this
quarter from the freshman class
are Harriette Potts and Sidney
Newton; sophomores, Katherine
Oakley and Doris Clingman; ju-
niors, Allena Doggett and Nancy
DeArmond. Helen Jean Robarts
and Sylvia Williams represent AA
and CA; Student government rep-
resentative Ls Betty McLellan.
Secretary - treasurer is Shirley
Heath. Sarah Crewe Hamilton is
president of Granddaughters; Co-
tillion will elect its new president
next week.

Social committee is planning
several projects for this quarter
and next fall, announces Sylvia
Williams, chairman. Right now
the biggest project is the date par-
lor in Rebekah Scott hall; this
room is for the use of all students
as well as girls and their dates.

Plans for next fall and the in-
coming class of freshmen include
the annual fashion show of appro-
priate clothes for on and off cam-
pus activities. Social committee is
cooperating with Mortar Board
in planning the waiting room for
parents during freshman registra-
tion.

Other projects include a scrap-
book of recipes, for large numbers
of people, in Murphey Candler;
and a list of places to eat and
dance in Atlanta. This list will
include sample menus to give peo-
ple an idea of price ranges; the
list will be available to students
and guests, particularly out-of-
town guests who want to decide
for themselves where to go. The
final project is the bulletin board
outside the dean's office; Allena
Dogget is in charge of this.

Summer Jobs

(Continued from page 3)

Y, Scout and private. Many jobs
such as swimming instructor, song
leader, crafts director, or instruc-
tor in various other sports are
available.

Church jobs are open at Bible
schools or day camps. With some
training, students may get office
jobs as typists, file clerks, recep-
tionists, bookkeepers, and cash-
iers. Students can generally find
typing or selling jobs in depart-
ment stores; and then there are
the lucky ones who get on college
boards.

The records reveal that Agnes
Scotters in past summers have
held such jobs as county reporter
for a newspaper, assistant in the
children's room of a public library,
waitress at a summer resort or
church conference, and Keeper of
a welfare baby. Some remarks
that they made we consider valu-
able to you and so we decided to
pass them on. Some comments
have been :

Camping experience can be a
"proving ground for latent abil-
ities."

Working in the summer "gets
you out of your ivory tower."

Summer work "gives you an ap-
preciation of working people, a
tolerance towards people of more
or less education, ability, or so-
cial standing, and a chance to mix
with people of different back-
grounds. It is a broadening ex-
perience that makes you appre-
ciate your school more at the end
of the summer after you have had
a change of environment."

Erskine College in Due West, . . .,

ing as vice president he became

The list of groups of which Dr.

sive one. He is a member of the
Southern University Conference

South Carolina, receiving the B. A.
degree in 1900 and the M. A. in
1906. In 1901 he earned the

Poetic Note Burning
Continues Tradition

By Nancy Lee

Each senior eagerly awaits the
day

When her most unloved notes she

can throw away.
Then doomed to perdition,
(You see, 'tis tradition)
The notes merrily crackle and

burn.

Yes, it IS and old custom here
at Agnes Scott, the burning of the
notes. And what a bonfire it does
make in front of Main itself, with
the great crowd* of parents, stu-
dents, and faculty look:ng on! Sol-
emnly each member of the gradu-
ating class steps up, says her lit-
tle say (in poetry, if you take the
word loosely) and throws her notes
into the blaze. The bonfire of '51
will be June 2, after the music
program.

BUI that's not all, according to
the ASC tradition, "Emily Post
May Not Say It But It's Done."
Following the cremation of, sym-
bolically speaking, a portion of
j their college days, the seniors ad-
journ to the Little Quadrangle,
taking witb them the junior class.
Here the seniors perform the rite
of capping their successors. But
shhh! This is a taboo subject
you see, what goes on there is
SECRET!

College Expands
Under Leadership
Of J. R. McCain

Three decades and six years
have passed since James Ross Mc-
Cain first' came to the Agnes
Scott campus as professor of eco-
nomics and registrar. Since his
appearance on campus, and par-
ticularly since 1923, when he be-
came president, Dr. McCain has
helped the campus to grow and
expand into one of the best-equip-
ped colleges in the nation.

Some of the outstanding events
during this period include the
completion of the Bucher Scott
gymnasium in 1925; becoming a
member of the Association of
American Universities in 1920; ob-
taining a chapter of Phi Beta
Kappa in 1925; completion of But-
trick in 1931; the completion of
the McCain library in 1936; and
the building of Presser Hall in
1940. Since that time the Brad-
ley Observatory, 1950; the Fran-
ces Winship Walters infirmary,
1949; and the Letitia Pate Evans
dining hall, 1950, have all been
built and a new science building
is now under construction.

This is a comparison between
the then of 1923 and now of 1951
in respect to the physical growth
of the college. In 1923 the total
assets of the college amounted to
$886,000, now they total $6,500,-
000; we had 20 buildings in 1923 r
now we have 48; the campus
acreage has increased from 20 to
50 acres; and the faculty has
grown from 40 members to 64.
Such has been the growth of Ag-
nes Scott under the leadership of
Dr. James Ross McCain, second
president of Agnes Scott College.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, May 16, 1951

We Honor...

Once in a great while someone passes across the horizon of
mankind with a blaze of light so clear, so enduring, that the
trail of his work and memory remains forever present. Such
a man is Dr. James Ross McCain, president of Agnes Scott
College, whose retirement becomes effective July 1. Serving
28 years in that capacity, he has never tired, never ceased in
his efforts for the advancement of education, particularly of
women, because, in his own words, "when you train a girl,
you are training a whole family."

In this issue of the News we pay tribute to Dr. McCain, our
second president, who has been largely responsible for an
increase of 600 per cent in total assets of Agnes Scott during
his presidency, and who, at the same time, has developed
it according to the purpose of its founders, "a college combin-
ing high academic standards with strong religious influence."

We also pay tribute to an influence on Dr. McCain's life and
work which may not be widely known, but the evidence of
which is inescapable to his close friends and associates. His
wife, Pauline Martin McCain, because of heart trouble an in-
valid for the past 17 years, has nevertheless provided a con-
stant source of love and inspiring courage to her husband.
Even now one finds her always cheerful, always ready to see
the silver lining of a cloud.

Singing "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" at Saturday
Thanksgiving services, leading with high-held head academ-
ic processions in chapel, teaching freshman Bible classes,
swinging his cane as "Diamond Jim" in Junior Joint these
will never be forgotten by those who have known him. Every
farewell admits the possibility of sadness, of things missed
with regret. And yet, to you, Dr. McCain, we raise tribute
almost untinged by sorrow, because you will have left your
"job well done."' A. B.

Clairelis Treads Not So Lightly
In Spring's 'Footloose' Shoes

By Clairelis Eaton

Spring brings so many things flowers, birds, greenery
and sockless days. No more Duz-washing of anklets, no more
holes to darn, no more sliding, shoe-eaten argyles. Spring is
truly here. But with stockingless bliss comes the inevitable
thorn new shoes. Oh, they're awfully cute, and they look
like the next thing to barefooted

happiness with the four straps and
two soles that make the pair. As-
sorted colors, too.

"They'll match anything," the
salesgirls assure you inocently,
"And they're only $1.98, plus
sales tax, of course."

How can you possibly live with-
out them?

Pretty soon, however, you dis-
cover that you could live without
them, and you believe that you
might die with them. "Beauty
must suffer," yes, but must beau-
ty be tortured agony of the high-
est degree? Each step forward is
unbearable, and each step up-
ward to the next floor is even
worse. To top it all, you must put
on your best Emily Post smile
when someone tells you how "dar-
ling" the new shoes are. You find
yourself a living symbol of "grin
and wear it."

Of course, it invariably happens
that you're almost late for every
class. As a "friend" cheerily
calls, "Let's run," you begin to
wonder why it can't be winter
forever. Nothing could be more
wonderful than to have to pull
, your drooping sock out of your dil-
apidated, unpolished, ugly loafer.

As you painfully one-fourth run
and three-fourths limp up to sec-
ond floor Buttrick, you begin to
hate spring You feel that every-
one hates you, and that the sales
girl in the shoeshop is your worst
enemy. Who wants barefooted
bliss? Who cares if shoes" match
anything?" Besides they now
clash terribly with your red, red
feet.

Suddenly you remember the
dark and distant past. Last year

the same thing happened, and if
"history repeats itself" the day
will come when there is sockless
happiness. THE SHOES WILL
STRETCH!!! Your only hope is
that the joyous day will arrive
before winter.

Activities Earn Recognition;
Juniors Win Spirit Cup Again

By Joan Simmons

The class of '52 came out on top again in the contest for
the class spirit cup, awarded in chapel Thursday morning.
This was the second time the present junior class had cap-
tured the award.
The winner was chosen by a special committee which based

its selection on evidences of class _ . m ,

Community Sunday. There was

a party at Christmas time.

Winter quarter was highlighted
by Junior Joint, and "Give My
Regards to Broadway" was an un-
forgettable experience. Not only
did the juniors present the show
but they also crowned their can-
didate, Mary Jane Largen, as an-
gel by collecting the sum of $477.

Next came an unusual party for
the freshmen, "The Reunion of
1981." Another important project
was a series of vocational discus-
sions consisting of four programs
of four talks each.

In sports the class took second
place in basketball. A box of
clothes was sent to a war orphan,
Easter cards sent to the faculty,
and plans begun for the Junior
banquet. So the class of '52 ended
a busy year, one in which they
won the spirit cup, the most cov-
eted class award of the year!

M. A. She did a year's work on
her Ph.D before taking an in-

sity of Tennessee. She has re-
ceived several honors for creative
work in painting and sculpture,
and has been guest lecturer and
design instructor at an Arts and
Crafts school in Toronto, Canada,
and will return there this sum-
mer.

The new art professors will re-
place H. C. Forman, professor of
art, and Florence S. Bishop, in-
structor in art. Dr. James R. Mc-
Cain, president, says, "Mr. For-
man is an outstanding scholar in
the field of architecture and ar-
chaeology and Jrie has written
some quite important books. Mrs.
Bishop has done an outstanding
piece of work here this year and

has won the hearts of students
and faculty alike."

spirit in activities and projects
throughout the year.

The keynote of the class of '52's
spirit has been unity and cooper-
ation. This unity has prevailed
in spite of the difficulties arising
from the class being separated in-
to cottage groups.

The class began its activities
with a bang last spring quarter
under the leadership of president
PhylLs Galphin. The first under-
taking was a graduation tea for
the seniors and faculty sponsors.

The next hig project for the
quarter was a series of four phil-
osophy discussions led by Dr. Al-
ston: These informal discussions
were planned by a representative
committee to meet the need ex-
pressed by members of the class,
and they concerned such questions
as faith, reason, truth, and God,
studied from the viewpoint of the
individual.

The feeling of class unity was
even further strengthened by a
combination swimming party and
weiner roast at Glenwood Springs.
Their ability to cooperate in the
athletic field was shown when
they copped the Softball champi-
onship, the tennis doubles crown,
and the archery award.

The class of '52 began the fall
quarter by plunging into the ju-
n or sponsor program. They help-
ed the freshmen again in planning
for and participating in Commu-
nity Day. They completed the
day by winning the song contest
with an original song.

Next their attention was ab-
sorbed by a party for the junior
transfers, displaying the class
scrapbook in the library and pro-
viding ushers for Investiture and

Senior Contemplate Nuptials,
Jobs in Dim Uncertain Future

By VIRGINIA CLAIRE HAYS

My, my, I've never seen such an enthusiastic senior class. The
things those girls are going to do after graduation. Party, work in a
zoo, don't know party, work in a cafe, don't know yet party,
work on getting married, I really just don't know. Goodness, when I
finished talking with them, I simply had millions of ideas about my
future I could either party or I just don't know what!! But, can
you blame the poor girls? After four years of cheese, standing in lines,
"please do not put tacks in the walls, USE PUSHPINS!" "sorry, no
outside lines," and early morning fire drills, you'll be crazy, too!

Some girls have pulled through, surprisingly enough. With one last
surge of strength, many are going down the aisle. Kitty Warren is to
be married in June. Andrea Dale has chosen June 23 for her wedding
day. Margie Orr will be a bridesmaid. Dorothy Jean Harrison, Mary
Anna Ogden, and Betty Harrell have all selected June 30 for their
marriages. Dorothy Jean's roommates, Sara Samonds and Betty
Williams, are going to be her bridesmaids. .Carolyn Galbreath will
sing at Mary Anna's wedding. Margie Orr will say her marriage vows
July 28, while Andrea Dale sings. Stellis Logan will be in Margie's
wedding. Betty Mobley will be married in the early fall. Betty Fin-
ney and Anne Kineaid, her roommates, will be two of her attendants.
Jerry Keef and Sue Yarbrough, being engaged to members of the Air
Force, wait for Uncle Sam to set their dates.

Well, we can't all be seniors and we can't all be planning a wedding.
This weekend found the Tech chapters of Sigma Chi and S. A. E.
close to nature. They went on their annual houseparties. Betty Wil-
liams, and Aline Hight went to Guntersville, Alabama, to the Alabama
State Park with the Sigma Chi's. Touring to Lakemont with the
S. A. E.'s were Frances Cook, Sara Rose, Adelaide Ryall, Mif Martin,
Keller Henderson, B. J. Sharpe, and Nancy Whetstone. Right across
the lake from the S. A. E.'s were the Betas from Tech. Connie Major
went with them. It's a good thing that Barbara Stainton and M. C.
Lindsay stayed home. They got pinned!

Seniors Will Attend
Trustee Luncheon

On Saturday, June 2, at 1 p. m.,
the annual Trustee luncheon for
active members of the Alumnae
association and all members of
the senior class, will be held in
the Letitia Pate Evans dining
hall. At this time, the class of
1951 will be welcomed into the as-
sociation.

Immediately after the Trustee
luncheon the annual meeting of
the Alumnae association will be
held in Gaines chapel. This meet-
ing will be conducted by Mrs.
Allen A. Matthews of Atlanta,
national president of the Agnes
Scott Alumnae association. At
that time, the election of officers
for the coming year will take
place, and Eleanor Hutchens, di-
rector of alumnae affairs, will
give the annual report.

At 6 p. m. on June 2, the classes
of '95, '96, '97, '98, '14, '15, '16,
'17, '33, '34, '35, '36, '41. and '50,
will hold reunion dinners in the
dining hall. The dinners will be
informal, and open to all members
of these classes, whether graduate
or non-graduate, active or inac-
tive. About 100 members are ex-
pected to attend.

Senior Class Day
Will Review Past,
Announce Future

One of the biggest events on the
Senior calendar for graduation
day is Class Day on Saturday,
June 2, at 4:30 p. m. All friends,
faculty, students, and parents are
invited to see and hear the pro-
ceedings in the May Day Dell.
The traditional daisy chain car-
ried by the sophomores and laid
across the "stage" part of the
Dell in a huge "S" opens the pro-
gram. The senior and sophomore
classes then take their seats in
the Dell as Virginia Arnold, class
president, ascends the podium to
present gifts to the class sponsors
and mascot. Sponsors are Mary
Stuart MacDougall, professor of
biology, and George P. Hayes, pro-
fessor of English. Billy Rogers,
son of P. J. flogers Jr., assistant
business manager and treasurer,
is the class mascot.

The class of 1951 and all the
things it has accomplished while
here at Agnes Scott are to be m-
viewed by class historian Marie
Woods in a manner not yet re-
vealed. Class poet Marge Fel-
der will have the spotlight next
while she reads her composition
for the occasion. Louise Hertwig,
better known to all of us as Twig,
is in charge of composing, editing,
copywriting, and reading the Last
Will and Testament for the class
of 1951. Who bequeathes what to
whom? The last event on the pro-
gram is the class Prophecy, sim-
ilarly composed, e d i te d, copy
righted, and read by Celia Spiro,
better known as Cissie. With the
future in mind, the program ends.

From Class of 1951

Virginia Arnold, president of the

class gift to the college is money
for the Art department, to be used

presented to the class sponsors,
George P. Hayes, professor of

was presented two classical rec-

To the Stars
And Back

By Marge Felder

At Agnes Scott, if may be said,
We often look overhead
Trying to locate Venus or Mars.
Man has always reached for stars
Not much further off than those,
Though whether he touches, I
suppose,

Is a matter for poets, mystics and
such

Who hold that distance isn't much.

A List Containing Useful Items
To Take With You on Your Way

By MARION MERRITT

What will I use when I get out? That's a question all of us
freshmen and seniors alike, ask themselves and the big fu-
ture seems to yawn wide and uncertain. What will Agnes
Scott give me that will make me healthy, wealthy, and wise?
Maybe you don't feel very any of the three at this point, just
pooped and wondering. So, you

present your B. A. degree and lit-
tle letters of recommendation
from professor so-and-so in the
such arid-such department, and
you land that job. O. K., but may-
be that's not all. What will you
use, well, it's this way. Fresh-
man to senior, you will find (it's
my unproved guess) that you can
tally up the score and land a lot
of things besides a job. On the
credit sheet go the following
items.

1. From one to five hundred
true good friends In the years
to come, sweet old whosut may not
be right down the hall or just
across the quadrangle so that you
can run and borrow her prize ear-
rings or share the food-from-homc
or the before-quiz-panic. Jusi the
same, she'll be there, as close as a
letter for getting in toucn, but
occupying a little piacc in your
heart for all the years to come.
These friends and friendly ac-
quaintances will make you richer
than the fattest banking account
Won't it be fun to send pictures of
the first gradchild to the gang and
say, "Remember the night Grand-
pa and I got pinned?" Far-fetched
it may be, but I'll bet you can
count on it.

2. A gold embossed set of val-
ues These are the real McCoy,
not learned from a lot of words

but seen in practice in people's
lives. You've had a wonderful
course in "living 101" from the
finest teachers to be found, and if
you haven't paid attention in class,
you've really missed something.
You can name the teaching staff,
you've had a course in the great-
est Textbook of them all, and
a real background course for the
job ahead, no matter what it may
be, from wife to file clerk, from
teacher to lab technician.

3. A parcel of memories All
kinds, lots of remembers to tide
you through and lead you on. The
campus, the folks, the crazy things
you did, the things you did, the
things that were so big and al-
mighty important and seem fun-
iy even now. You have a whole
album of mental snapshots. You
have a record collection of pre-
cious quotations from the sen-
tences that summed it' all up that
you heard one day in chapel to>
John's "Sorry, no seconds on meat
this time." Don't lose a one,
they're priceless.

The Agnes Scott News won
lirst cl:rs rating in the national
competition with ail weekly
newspapers of a comparable

awarded for the 1050-51 term.

End or Beginning?

Each year a senior class leaves Agnes Scott to go into an-
other lap of the journey of living, and each year we sing a
song of sadness, or gladness, to them. We hoped somehow to
think of a new idea this year for our farewell message, but,
as usual, none came. As they are told every year, from the
dictionary, commence means "to start; begin," and com-
mencement is "the act of commencing.' , This is to convince
them, if they have not already learned such, that this is not
THE END, but THE BEGINNING. A diploma is not a con-
gratulatory certificate for having struggled through four
years of college, entitling the recipient to an immediate ces-
sation of struggle, telling him to let life come to him for a
change. It is something material given in recognition of the
education which you have received, IN ORDER THAT life
might have more meaning, and that you will be prepared to
cope with that meaning.

Each year it is customary to weep a little, because we're
going to miss the seniors. Because the Class of '51 has been
a great class, and a friend to us all. They smile, speak, and
laugh just like other classes. They might even get campus
slips once in awhile, proving that they're not completely in-
fallible.

Somehow, after looking over previous farewell messages,
we decided that we wanted to say just that to our seniors, be-
cause they are leaving, we will miss them, and they are a won-
derful class. So we do. A. B.

Are Gripes Necessary?

Summertime is here for another year, and we on the cam-
pus are rapidly disbursing to our respective homes. Jobs,
trips, study and just plain laziness will fill the days ahead
while we wait (?) for another college year to begin.

During the summer, we will talk about our college to our
friends, comparing rules, rooms, subjects, and professors with
each other. We think each of us will learn anew how truly
wonderful our college is and how much it actually means to
us, both as individuals and as a student body. We feel sure
that we will return in the fall determined to show newcomers
all the good things about our Alma Mater, and not deride each
and every part of the college in some fashion.

It has been said that an Army man is well if he gripes; well,
we do not think it necessary to prove the health of each Agnes
Scott student by the same method. Some gripes are legiti-
mate, such as that test assigned on Monday, and the paper
due the same day you have two and one half tests, but the
constant complaining heard about food, rooms, closet space,
assignments, and rules about social life are mostly uncalled
for, if you compare what we are allowed to do along with
other colleges. In fact, we believe you will find that we as
a student body are treated with much more respect and trust-
ed to a higher degree than are most student bodies.

It has always been traditional to make New Year's resolu-
tions on the last night before a new calendar year begins; this
time let's change the resolution time to the first of September
and come back to college refreshed in body, mind, and spirit,
resolved not to gripe about things unless absolutely neces-
sary. Is it a bargain? B. W. ,

Gooch to Retire This Year
After 36 Years in Speech

By Betsy Hodges

Her retirement at the end of this session will bring to a
close the long career as a teacher and leader in speech work
of Miss Frances K. Gooch, associate professor of English. Miss
Gooch came to Agnes Scott in 1915, at the same time as Dr.
McCain. A graduate of the School of Speech in Boston and

MISS FRANCES K. GOOCH

Great Literature Written on Three Planes,
According to Article by George P. Hayes

By B. J. Sharpe

"Literature, as man, rises from the physical to the rational
to the spiritual," is the theme of an article by George P.
Hayes, professor of English in the March issue of the Emory
University Quarterly. The article, "Literature and the Span
of Human Experience," by Dr. Hayes, who has been visiting
professor of English at Emory on
several occasions since 1929, was
read at the meeting of the Emory
Humanities club on March 27.

"Incidences in literature," ac-
cording to Dr. Hayes, "illustrates
the three levels of experience
the animalistic, the human, and
the divine." He implies that the
greatest literature is that which

contains all three planes, with the
spiritual transcending the physical
and the rational. ,

Dr. Hayes mentions and quotes
several passages from various
works, exemplifying these dif-
ferent planes of experience.
Among his examples is everything
from Carlyle's "Sartor Resartus' "
rise from negation to spiritual a'-
firmaiion, to the "Ilkid," which il-
lustrates a portrayal of all three
planes of experience. Included In
those meeting this test of span,
are Shakespeare, Plato, Dante,
Virgil, Thomas Mann, and T. S.
Eliot.

"We are all moving up or down,
unless we try to assume (as per-
haps many of us do)' the position
of Mr. Facing-Both-Ways," states
Dr. Hayes, "The all-important
consideration is whether we de-
cide to move up or down." He
further explains this by saying
t v ?1 Milton knew the importance
of that critical moment, as shown
in his 'Paradise Lost."

In contrast to the works illus-
trating the three levels of experi-
ence, Dr. Hayes mentions several
works which he says do not com-
plete the cycle. Included irf these
ape such things as Flaubert's
"Madame Bovary," which exem-
plifies the religious plane, Zola's
"L'Assomoir," which exemplifies
the physical plane, Kennedy's

"Beowulf," and others.

Concluding his essay, Dr. Hayes
asks the pertinent question, "Is
it possible to hope, from these ex-
tact, the stormy present?"
amples, that our western civiliza-
tion, which is based on the human-
istic and spiritual values recorded
In its literature, will survive, in-

holding the B. A. and M. A. de-
grees from the University of Chi-
cago, Miss Gooch had taugni pre-
viously at several college in the
Southeast. At that time speech
was not considered an import a nr
part of the curriculum, and there-
for speech lessons were offered to
only a few pupils, at an additional
expense. Dr. Armistead, head of
the English department at that
Jme, was anxious to offer some
means of improving the diction of
the campus. Miss Gooc'.i organiz-
ed the first classes and courses i.i
speech. At f:rst speech was a re-
quired course for sophomores, and
when the classes became too
crowded, it was changed to the list
of electives.

1915 was the year in vvhich
Blackfnars, the campus dramatic
organization, w a s established.
Miss Gooch was one of the lead-
ers in this organization, together
with Dr. Armistead and Miss Mc-
Kinney. The club gave its first
production on Thanksgiving Day
1915, and since this time has de-
veloped into a leading campus or-
ganization, , presenting a great
number of plays through the years.

Miss Gooch has taken an active
part in speech work in Atlanta, in
Georgia, and in the nation. She
has spoken to civic clubs and to
speech groups on innumerable oc-
casions, and for three years held
a leading role on a radio show.
She has taught for many summers
at speech workshops throughout
the nation and has had published
a number of articles on speech and
drama, for th.e most part in pro-
fessional journals. She travelled
for six summers in Europe, and
attended summer sessions at Ox-
ford, Cambridge, and the Univer-
sity of London.

Miss Gooch was for one year
first vice president of the Ameri-
can Speech Association; president
of the Southern Speech associa-
tion, of which she was a charter
member and vice president sev-
eral times. She was a founder
of the Georgia Speech association.
In 1951 this group honored her on
the 20th anniversary of their
founding with a dinner and pre-
sented to he,r a silver card tray
in recognition of her services.

Miss Gooch plans to live in At-
lanta after June 1, when her re-
tirement becomes effective.

Faculty Plans Travel, Study,
Work, Fun During Summer

True to their varied interests, the faculty has summer plans
that range from trips to Europe and graduate study, to quiet
vacations at home and of all things teaching! A quick
run around the campus proved that the profs are anticipating
big things for the days after the final grades are filed.

Off on a trip abroad, Mr. and *

Mrs. Byers will spend six weeks
touring England and the contin-
ent. Mr. and Mrs. Sims are also
planning a trip to England the
latter part of the summer.

Faculty members switching
from teacher to pupil will be Miss
Ham, Miss Bridgman, Miss Glick,
and Miss Hagopian. Miss Harn
will be studying languages at
Middlebury College in Vermont.
The Biological Station at Woods
Hole, Massachusetts will again
claim Miss Bridgman's attention.
M ss Glick will have a vacation
lrom the classes while she studies
sociology at Indiana. Getting mu-
sical ideas from over half-a-hun-
dred Pennsvlvanians, Miss Hago-
pian will b^ taking notes at Fred
Waring's Wurkrhdp.

Dr. Garber repurts that his
family will be vacatioring in Mon-
treat during June and August.

Another faculty family in North
Carolina will be the Robinsons
who are going to be at their sum-
mer home in Hendersonville.

Miss CUiey will tx* doing re-
search on Portugese literature a;
Harvard University.

Dr. Friercon and his family will
return to Oak Rid^e, Tennessee
lor another summer. Dr. Frer-
son will be doing atomic research
in connection with the government
project tce^e.

Miss MacDougall will remain at
the college to continue work on
her textbooks.

Washington, D. C, will be Miss
Omwake's destination and Den-
ver, Colorado, will be Miss Lan-
ey's. Dr. Alston and his family
are planning a vacation in Flori-
da during June.

Taking a postman's holiday, Miss
Dexter will teach at Alabama
State College.

Class History

Newspapers Reveal Incidents
For Marie's Review of Past

By Marie Woods

The history of the class of 1951 just started out to cause
trouble. In the first place, it's not listed anywhere in the
course catalogue, because it's not ANCIENT history, enlight-
ening eager youth about customs of dead civilizations, like,
say, the history of the class of 1950. There has, of course,
been the rumor that it should be '

included in the courses about the
FRONTIER, but now that the sci-
ence hall and the dining room are
no longer making a HOLE of the
campus, that seems hardly accur-
ate. So, by fairly general consent
of the members of . the class, who
survived the picnic Thursday, our
history will have to be classed
with CURRENT PROBLEMS, as
revealed in the pages of uh, uh,
not the New York Times and
haven't they ever heard of funny
papers do you suppose we ought
to know anything about the far
Eastern oil situation but the
Agnes Scott News, and the mem-
ories of such members of the class
as haven't repressed the happen-
ings of our whole freshman year.

Our first bulletin is taken from
a special issue of the college in-
formation series, which arrived at
all of our homes in August of 1947.
Important announcements in-
cluded:

a. The college will open.

b. Trunks should be checked
through to Decatur. (They will be
delivered about exam time.)

c. Around 160 new freshmen
will arrive. They did.

An article appearing in the
Nous about this time revealed
that all freshmen would consult
ALL regulation committees. They
did. The article on orientation
continued with a description of
the opening reception and a pre-
diction that the junior sponsors
would rely chiefly on peanut but-
ter and ginger ale to cure any pos-
sible cases of homesickness. They
did. Unfortunately, our first jour-
nalistic record fails to add that,
after seeing all the committees
and all the rush .parties, aching
feet could replace homesickness
two to one. They did.

Big scoop of our second month
at college

BLACK CAT STUNT
APPROACHES; FROSH
ELECT SPIRO CHAIRMAN
The only problem was that no-
body knew just exactly what
Black Cat was. Undaunted, the
united freshmen went on to take
Kitty Black from Heaven to her
tenth life on earth in one of the
most stupendous productions in
campus history. As almost any
October issue of the News will
testify, the evening was marred
by only a few minor CATastro-
phes, such as the sudden loss of
St. Peter's beard and the award-
ing of the cat to the sophomores.
The headlines of a February issue,
hovvever, tell the story of honor
regained and justice done. Com-
plete with a policeman's chorus
and a slightly edited version of
G Inert and Sullivan's "Pinafore,"
FRESHMAN SKIT TAKES
FIRST PLACE AT JUNIOR^
JOINT CELEBRATION IN
DIAMOND JIM'S GOLDEN
HORSESHOE.
Besides the very exciting news
that the class lived through ex-
ams and planned mass migrations
home for Christmas and spring
holidays, other important events
seem to come in little feature sto-
ries scattered throughout the year.
In fall quarter, newly-elected class
president Marv Haves Barber at-

tributes her success solely to the
fact that her home is PITTS-
BORO, "NORTH CAROLINA. Al-
so, many freshmen don hoopskirts
for Cotillion club's first formal
dance in school history. Winter
quarter, spring quarter, any quar-
ter at all, the freshmen acquire
a stupendous amount of know-
ledge: the critical judgment in-
volved in a critical paper does not
necessarily consist of "I did (or
did not) like this novel;" the
GREEN DEATH is so called be-
cause you would be better off
dead; the interior of the earth-
worm is a very complicated thing;
and if you're rich, a call to DE.
1665 will bring a ham sandwich
and lime Coke any time, day or
night before 10 o'clock.

One final story, good fo>r a whole
book in itself after a year of
good spirit and chapel attendance,
THE class of 1951 captured, with-
out too much struggle, the class
spirit cup.

But, one of the best things about
being a freshman is that next year
you're a sophomore, ready to cope
with 211 and the immaturity of
the incoming freshman class. With
Mary Lou heading our class activ-
ities, we were all ready to bring
the Black Cat to Rebekah hall,
and our journalistic history shows
our triumph in pictures of Cissie
holding that coveted animal.

After that fairly modest tri-
umph, the headlines blared the an-
nouncement of another campaign,
ending with the Aggies' victory
over the Greenbacks, and, thanks
to doubling the campus goal, TWO
days extra holiday at Thanksgiv-
ing. The Greenbacks took unusu-
ally nasty revenge, however, in
an announcement later in the
quarter. Edged in black, we view
the solemn words
Tuition Hits the Ceiling,
DADDY DOES THE SAME.
Right back down to earth again
though, for choosing majors, elec-
tions for next year, and of course
the DAISY CHAIN for our sister-
class, made a little harder by the
fact that the daisy crop was at a
record low and the poison ivy crop
at a record high.

As juniors, our press notices
really went into high gear. Fresh-
men have new clothes, but upper
classmen have culture and respon-
sibilities, not to mention cottages
and all-night lights. After an-
nouncing that Junior Joint would
turn Agnes Scott into Scotland
for one night. V. A. and all the
other McJuniors bit their finger-
nails over a plaid crepe paper
tent and worked to make the
4i Bonnie Briar Tavern" a good ev-
ening's entertainment, as well as
good copy.

The parade of the J-Birds down
for hockey games made big news
on the sports page, as did enough
junior victories to win the Athletic

The rise of the "Cathedral" out
behind the cottages and the dar-
ing ventures of the inhabitants of
those out of the way districts, over
the great mud mountain into civ-
ilization was only a prelude to

Drake Will Instruct
Language Teachers
In Java Mountains

By Barbara West

An international outlook is fast
becoming the watchword of Lillie
Belle Drake, instructor in Span-
ish. She has just accepted a po-
sition in Bandoeing, Java, with
the Foreign Service for the next
two years, and will leave this
country for Java about the first of
July.

Java is located just north of
Australia and is the southernmost
located of the Indonesian islands.
The island obtained its independ-
ence from the Dutch government
about one and one-half years ago
and has just adopted English as
its second official language. As
may be expected, the natives do
not know the language at this
time and must be taught. This is
where Miss Drake comes in. It
seems that the Javanese govern-
ment asked our government to
help them teach the natives Eng-
lish, and the plan has been worked
out whereby native teachers who
already know some English will
be the instructors, while people
from the United States will in-
struct the natives, after regular
school hours are over.

Miss Drake is wen qualified for
the position, having taught in
grammar, high school, college, and
adult groups. She has had exper-
ience on every teaching level in
teaching a foreign language,
which is what these native teach-
ers must do. Her advice on ways
to interest the students in the
language will be just as helpful
as the advice about pronouncing
and using that troublesome verb
"to be."

Bandoeing itself is in the moun-
tains of Java and has a perpetual
springtime climate. VtegetabUes
and fruits similar to the ones
grown in Europe will be available
the year round, as well as the na-
tive foods. As a member of the
Foreign Service staff, Miss Drake

assuming of responsibilities for
our SENIOR year.

The realization that WE were
now THEY, running the school of
course, not only getting in the
News, but sOso publishing iti.j
brought all the horrors and fa-
tigue of old age down at once.
(You notice how this history gets
shorter with each year. Well . . . )
According to the records of Little
Girls' Day, however, we did man-
age to revive long enough to
break a few dishes at breakfast,
make a great deal of noise in
chapel, and still be invested the
next day.

Nobody needs to be reminded
of THE PLAGUE, or that dire oc-
curance, immortalized since in
song as the time when "the ele-
ments descended and the tower of
Main was rended."

After the two last sets of ex-
ams, we managed to make head-
lines one more time, giving Shake-
speare quite a beating in Senior
Opera. And one last scoop, just
to deny any reports that old sen-
iors never die, they only fade
away, Monday's News can tell
anybody with 20 cents worth of
concern, that 100 per cent of the
class of 1951 are active, dues-
paying members of the Alumnae
association.

With that, we give our recorded
hi story to the Boy Scout paper
sale, with the stipulation that this
does not necessarily guarantee
graduation, and if not successful,
will be refunded.

Seniors Plan Study, Work;
All Classes Have Weddings

By VIRGINIA CLAIRE HAYS

Some of those seniors are attached to this place! (It does happen,
believe me.) Anna DaVault will work in our library. .Su Boney will
replace Doris Sullivan in her job as field representative for Agnes
Scott. Then there are those who are getting just a tad further away.
Jenelle Spear will work in biology at Emory, while Freddie Hachtcl
and Amy Jones will do graduate work there. Libby Shontz and Bar-
bara Stainton are going over to Emory to work, and they are going
to share an apartment here. Wonder if they can cook? Still a little
further down the road Atlanta Anne Kincaid, Betty Finney,
Mar^ Hunt, Annelle Simpson^and Virginia Arnold hope to find work
(even if it's with the W. P. A.) and share an apartment. If you ask
me, all those girls will need a small hotel instead of an apartment!
B. J. Foster and Jackie Sue Messer are looking for a good job to keep
them here in the city.

Then there are those who just can't get enough of this school work!
I thought if you had enough sense to get out you'd STAY OUT!
But, there are those who like school work. Mary Stubbs will teach
school in Savannah. Carolyn Galbreath and Janette Mattox will
teach they ain't right sure where. Mary Hayes Barber said North
Carolina is calling for her teaching abilities. Jeanne Kline Mallory
and Jimmie Ann McGee will probably teach here in Decatur.

And of course, some girls always flunk and have to go to graduate
school so they can get their B. A. degree. Marie Woods, Ellen Hull,
Sara McKee, Marge Felder (Middlebury School of English), and
Page Hutchison (Westminster Choir School) will take in a few
courses at graduate school.

Betty Williams found employment at the Bon Air school in Rich-
mond. Carol Munger will work for an insurance company in Chat-
tanooga. Poor little Wilton Rice it's more school for her. This time
she'll go to business school in Richmond. Esther Adler is going to
Chicago to work. Betty Wilson hopes (with her fingers crossed)
to work in the lab at Princeton University. Cissie Spiro (who first
told me she was getting married to anyone that asked her) is hoping
to vvork for the U. N. in Geneva. Eliza Pollard had an assistantship in
chemistry at Cornell. Betty McClain will probably do professional
Camp Fire Girl work. Nancy Cassin sets sail June 8 for a tour of
Europe. Bon voyage, Nancy! Katherine Loemker is going to Oak
Ridge to make atom bombs. Walking on clouds will be Delta air
hostess Betty Zeigler. Margie Stukes, on my honor I will try (by
now if you haven't guessed Girl Scouts, I GIVE UP), will go to Lan-
caster, Ohio.

Those who join the ranks of "I don't know" are Sara Samonds ;
Sally Jackson, Eleanor McCarty, Ann Miller, Charity Bennett, Betty
Averill, and probably every third senior you meet on campus.

Wedding Bells

June is the month! It is the time for those that are luckier than
others to be happy and plan weddings. It is also time for those that
are unlucky to be saying I think that's grand but I want to be a career
girl. Who in the world wants to look after an old sloppy husband?

Over in Inman there are two brides-to-be anxiously awaiting the
arrival of the wedding day. Dot Fineher, whose engagement was
announced last Sunday, has chosen June 23 to be married. She will
be married in the Primitive Baptist Church here in Atlanta. Mildred
Gaston will be a bridesmaid in Dot's wedding. Another freshman who
is going to tread the bridal aisle this summer is Joan Pickell. She
has selected the last of August to be married. After their honey-
moon, Joan and her husband doesn't that sound wonderful, old
maids? will live in Clemson, South Carolina.

Rebekah is proud of it's one bride of the summer. Marilyn Michie,
who is wearing a lovely diamond, will take the vows in late summer in
St. Joseph's Episcopal Church in Durham. Julie Clark, Jane Wil-
liams and Mary Birmingham will serve as her beautiful bridesmaids.
Mick and hubby will reside in Auburn.

Watch those juniors go! Goodness, but they are popular girls.
Jeannine Byrd will be married June 19 in New Orleans. Marilyn Cox,
who is honeymooning now, was married Friday, June 1, at the Second
Ponce de Leon Baptist Church. Marilyn is going to live in Birming-
ham tffier the honeymoon. Patricia Cortelyou will have an early au-
tumn wedding. Mif Martin, Jayne Puckett, Marg Lumpkin, Bettj
Holland, Phyllis Galphin, and Anne Warren will serve as Pat's brides-
maids. She will live in Knoxville, Tennessee and go to school with
Dillon at the University of Tennessee. My, my good luck, girls, on
those many mornings of horrible .coffee and burned toast. Note to
those who are not going tc get married
next fall.

McCain Emphasizes Incompleteness
Of Life During Commencement Address

In the address delivered to the Class of 1950 following the singing by the Glee club of
"Gloria" from the 12th Mass by Mozart, Dr. James R. McCain, president, emphasized the
need for Christ in every life, along with the sense of incompleteness in our lives caused
by too little time and too little interest. The complete text of Dr. McCain's address is given
below for those who did not hear the address and for those desiring a permanent copy of
the last speech given by Dr. McCain as president of the college.
Young Womau of the Graduating

Class of 1951:

On the recommendation of the
Faculty, the Board of Trustees of
Agnes Scott College have confer-
red on each of you the degree of
Bachelor of Arts. In token of this
award, you will presently receive
from the Chairman of the Board
the Agnes Scott diploma.

In the mean time, it is my priv-
ilege to speak with you briefly.
Your invitation to speak myself
on this occasion instead of bring-
ing some distinguished person for
a formal address is a very much
appreciated evidence of your
friendship. As one who is graduat-
ing with you this year, I have a
peculiar interest in your class
OUR class perhaps I may say
and I am talking for myself as
well as for you in a very informal
fashion.

Fifty-one years ago this week,
I graduated from college, and our
exercises at that time were called
a "commencement," as yours are
also designated. The term itself
suggests incompleteness and more
to be accomplished later, and this
provides the theme for this occa-
sion.

You are ending your college
days ; but even the ones of you who
may have accomplished the most
will not claim that you have com-
pleted your education. You have
met our minimum requirements
for graduation, and we are proud
of you, joining as fond teachers
with fond parents in emphasizing
today what you have done.

You are conscious, however, of
courses which you wished and
planned to take and yet which you
'have not been able to include in
your busy schedule. In those
courses which you did take and
in which perhaps you made dis-
tinguished marks, there were per-
haps assignments for the days or
the quarter which you never quite
reached. In few cases will you
think that the work was done as
well as even you might wish to
have it done.

Not only in the academic life
of the campus may you have a
sense of incompleteness, but also
in the student activities and in the
community life t^ere may be much
yet desired. You may feel that, if
four years were to be lived again,
you would take more interest in
the campus program and in the
worthwhile people of our commun-
ity.

Student Activities, Too

Not only in our courses and in
our activities have we failed to
some extent, but we may have a
sense of incompleteness in the de-
velopment of our own inner per-
sonalities. Perhaps our devotion-
al lives have been submerged in
the pressure of daily life. Patience
and faith and unselfishness may
need a vast growth and enrich-
ment. Each of you in retrospect
will know what might have been
done and yet remains for future
accomplishment. It is a real com-
mencement for you and not a
complete life.

As we think of ourselves as in
dividuals and of areas in which
we have come short, so we may
realize that our College faces a

commencement of its own. It has
made progress in the 62 years of
its life. Great standardizing
agencies have given Agnes Scott
the highest ratings, and it leads
every important list of institutions
in this country; but the great life
of your Alma Mater lies in the
future. Under a new administra-
tion and with proved and tested
leadership, with the support of
new friends as well as that of the
old ones, Agnes Scott will step out
with you into fields that may be
unknown, of course, but rich with
promise and hope, overcoming in
some measure at least the incom-
pleteness of our present attain-
ments.

Church Shortcomings

In like manner the Church,
whatever the denomination may
be, har undoubtedly great achieve-
ments to its credit, but surely
must realize how far, far short it
has come in establishing the King-
dom. It must know that in the
eyes of the scoffing world around
the incompleteness of its great
task is a reproach which ought to
be overcome.

And so we might indicate for
our own country or for the United
Nations or for countless other
agencies, great or small, where
human minds and wills are in-
volved, that we have fallen short
of our great objectives and have a
sense of our own incompleteness.
I have no desire to press this point
or to. multiply examples. It is
sufficient to say that all great
causes or great organiaztions are
but the lengthened shadows of
the lives of men and women who
have led them, and many of these
individuals have been quick to
realize and to confess their de-
ficiencies.

Sir Isaac Newton, though to
others the legislator of the skies,
was to himself only a child pick-
ing pebbles on the shore of truth,
while the great ocean of God's
wonders rolled untouched around
him.

Tennyson was to others a great
voice crying in the wilderness of
materialism for faith in a higher
Being, but to himself he was,
"An infant crying in the night,
An infant crying for the light,
And with no language but a
cry."

The Apostle Paul to others was
the grandest hero of the faith and
bore in his body the marks of
Christ, yet to himself he was the
least of the apostles and not wor-
thy to be called an apostle. Of
only one Being since time began
could it be truly said that His
life was finished. For the rest of
us it simply ends, with much left
undone.

Is life then a failure? If the
noblest men of the race are man-
ifestly incomplete in their ideals
and in accomplishments, and if
they themselves realize that this
is true, what must the rest of us
expect? If the only measure-
ments are those of what we know
and of what we do, we would be
surely discouraged; but we have
faith which looks to the future
and lays hold on forces which are
greater than our own. Our very
inadequacy and incompleteness

may. be assets rather than liabil-
ities in the ledger sheets of char-
acter.

The poet recognizes this in the
lines,

"Then welcome each rebuff
That turns earth's smoothness
rough.

Be our joy three parts pain;
Strive and hold cheap the strain."

The world has not always or
even usually seemed to appreciate
those who seemed to fail. Socrates
was given the hemlock, and Jesus
was sent to the cross.
"Count me o'er earth's chosen

heroes ;

They were souls that stood alone,
While the man they agonized for
Hurled the contumelious stone;
Stood serene and down the future
Saw the golden beam incline
To the side of perfect justice,
Mastered by their faith divine,
By one man's plain truth to man-
hood

And to God's supreme design."

View of Victory

The process towards victory
seems often long and hard, and
many a good man has failed be-
cause the end was not in sight.
Milton, who through defeat might
well have given up the struggle,
was able to advise,
Not love thy life nor hate, but

What thou livest
Live well; how long or short, per-
mit to heaven."

It was Paul's realization of all
this that led him to conclude,
"when I am weak, then am I
strong." It was this sentiment
which led George Matheson to
cry,

"Make me a captive, Lord, and

then I shall be free,
Force me to render up my sword,

and I shall conqueror be;
I sink in life's alarms, when by

myself I stand;
Imprison me within Thine arms,

and strong shall be my hand."
When we have been completely
subdued and entirely humble, we
may be in position to receive help.

A mother was standing by the
side of a lake where her son was
swimming when suddenly he be-
ban to sink and cried for help. She
hastily summoned the lifeguard,
and saw to her amazement that he
stood and quietly watched the
struggling boy. The mother was
frantic in urging that he dive in
immediately and save her son, but
he resisted her cries and entrea-
ties. At last the boy ceased strug-
gling and was sinking quietly out
of site, when the guard sprang to
the rescue and speedily pulled the
boy to safety. When the mother
continued to reproach him for his
delay, he answered: "When you
called, the boy was making every
effort to save himself, struggling
violently all the while. If I had
caught him then, both of us would
almost certainly have been drown-
ed. It was only when his efforts
ceased and he gave up the strug-
gles that I could safely and surely
bring him to safety." This is an
illustration of the truth in the
spiritual world that yielding is
often better than struggling in our
own strength and that there is
a Power all-sufficient to meet our
needs.

As we seek for that Higher
Power, we cannot go far without
realizing that He is to be found
only in Christ. In Him are hid
all the treasures of knowledge and
wisdom, in Him dwelleth all the
fullness of the Godhead bodily.
It is true that,

"Thou, O Christ, are all I want,
More than all in Thee I find.
He is the complete man; but how
can this Christ, ever so complete
himself, help our incompleteness?

He gives us the highest ideals,
higher than those of Shakespeare
or Milton or Wordsworth or
Browning or of any other in any
time or in any land.

His ideals are so high, so pure,
so unselfish, and so complete that
nothing has been left out. They
give a ringing call to all that is
best in us; yet as has been men-
tioned before, we cannot by our
own efforts attain to even the
simplest of the ideals. We must
exclaim, "We are but broken
lights, O Christ, of Thee."

However, Christ is no mere
Idealist. He does not mock us
with unattainable heights. He
lived the "perfect life in perfect
labor writ." He was the Prophet
of the higher life, but in every de-
tail of His brief stay on earth He
showed us how to live.

But the revealing of the com-
plete ideals and the exhibit of a
complete life are not enough for
us frail men and women. Principal
Shairp has well expressed this,
"What men ask is not to know
the right, but the power to be
righteous. It is because what rea-
son commands, the WILL cannot
be or do, that men are filled with
despair. As well bid us to lay our
hands on the stars because we see
them as to realize our ideals or
virtue because we discern it."

It is just here that Christ has
superiority over aid that ever
taught before. He said, "All pow-
er in heaven and earth is given to
me." He is the One who can com-
plete our incompleteness. He
knows all our infirmities. He was
tempted in all points as we are.
He never gives a command with-
out the power for us to obey. When
He says to stretch forth the with-
ered hand, he sends coursing
through that arm a divinely im-
parted vitality. He directs that
we preach, and at the same time
He gives the message and con-
trols the results.

Christian Practicality

Our relation to Christ and our
use of His power are not theoret-
ical ideas for future use. They are
as practical as today's breakfast
or the dress you wear. The writ-
er to the Hebrews gives the for-
mula in the simplest terms I know,
,"Let us run with patience the
race set before \js, looking unto
Jesus the author and finisher of
our faith." The three words,
"Looking unto Jesus," are the
key to everyday living and to vic-
torius living. It is not looking
AT Jesus, even with a good de-
gree of knowledge and perhaps
with real admiration. It is not a
matter for the intellect, certainly
not by itself. Looking UNTO
Jesus indicates an act of the will,
a yielding to Him, obedience, glad
acceptance of Him. It means
looking away from ourselves. It
may be that we are proud of our
successes or that we are discour-
aged by our failures. In either
case we forget ourselves in our
dependence on Him.

We are fortunate, too, that our
hold on Him is not dependent on
our own strength, but that we are
held by His almighty power. An
artist was asked to depict salva-
tion, and he painted an impressive

canvas with a raging tempest and
towering billows. In the sea was
a swimmer who was reaching out
to lay hold on a mighty rock which
stood unmoved in the storm. An-
other artist exclaimed that the
picture was seriously defective.
He painted the same storm and
the same rock and the same spent
swimmer, but from the rock an
almighty hand was stretched out
to grasp and hold the swimmer.
He was not safe with his own fee-
ble grasp. He might easily be
swept away, but in the true pic-
ture he was held by a hand which
would not let him go.

When we shall see Him we shall
be like Him for we shall see Him
as He is.

"So take and use thy work,
Amend what flaws may lurk;
My times be in thy hand;
Perfect the work as planned."

We seek at once the companion-
ship and the completing power of
Him, "in whom we have our re-
demption, the forgiveness of sins:
in whom were all things created in
heaven and on earth, things vis-
ible and invisible, that in all things
He might have the pre-eminence
and that He might sit at God's
right hand in heavenly places far
above all rule and authority and
power and dominion and every
name that is named not only in
this world, but in that which is to
come King of kings and Lord
of lords! He will make you a
Christ-like woman, earth's crown-
ing glory, and thus in Christ your
life will be complete.

Completion

Not till then will come the true
commencement into that full and
exciting and never-ending life
with the great ones of all the
ages and with our loved ones who
have gone on before, and with the
Lord and Master of all life and the
Perfecter of our lives! Truly ye
are complete in Him.

And now will you bow with me
in a closing word of prayer.

Our father, in the quiet of this
moment, may our thoughts be
drawn from all else and be center-
ed now on Thee. We recognize
Thy good hand upon us through
this year and through all the
years that have brought us to this
hour.

For our beloved College we are
humbly thankful to Thee. Thou
are the Founder and Guide and
Protector and kind Reneifactor
who hast led us through 62 years
of continuous blessings. In sim-
ple trust and confidence, we again
commend to Thee Agnes Scott in
all phases of its life and work.
Bless the President who will soon
take charge. Fill him with wis-
dom and understanding and pre-
serve him in life and health. Bless
with him Trustees, Faculty, Stu-
dents, Alumnae and many others
who will encourage and uphold
his hand. And so may the days
ahead for this institution be all
that Thou has planned for it.

We thank Thee, too, for this
class for them as a group and
for them as individuals. We re-
joice that Thou has brought them
from many homes and from many
sections of the earth to unite for
these years in training for life
service. Now, as we are separat-
ing, never perhaps to meet again
in this world as an entire group,
we pray for Thy abundant bless-
ing upon each one. Consecrate
with Thy presence the way their
feet may go. Sanctify the choices
they are to make. Open their
eyes that they may see Thee
beckoning them from the low
things of this world to the high

Method and His Comic Purpose"
is an "analysis of poetic style of
certain of the Canterbury tales,
in the light of Chaucer's co r nic
purpose for these tales." She has
taken the '^Miller's Tale" as an
example of farce, the "Nun's Tale"
for humor, the "Priest's Tale" as
burlesque, and the "Merchant's
Tale" for irony.

"Haydn, Mozart, and Beethov-
en: Their Relation to Classicism

sociate professor, she has traced
U. 5. diplomatic relations with
Japan during the period mention-
ed including the Manchurian inci-
dent and the negotiations of 1941.

ject of Jean Longino's paper bas-
ed on her study in economics and

written under the direction of
Muriel Harn, professor, is enti-
tled "Die Problematic von Thom-
as Mann." An interesting side-
light on Marie's study of Thomas
Mann came in the form of an au-
tographed copy of his bool^, "Die-
ser Friede." Clairelis Eaton's
mother wrote to Mr. Mann tell-
ing him of Agnes Scott's honors
program and particularly of the
study Marie was making of his
works. She also sent a copy of
"Dieser Friede" which Mr. Mann
autoguaphed and returned to Ma-
rie with a note of appreciation for
her interest in his writings.

Sarah McKee has done her hon-
ors work in English with Ellen
Douglas Leyburn, associate pro-
fessor. "Henry James and the
Art of Representation" is a study
of imagery in "The Wings of the

Recent Kresge Grant Adds
Hot Water to Science Hall

By Barbara West

With bated breath and keen anticipation the campus com-
munity has watched the progress of the John Bulow Camp-
bell Science Hall as it has been erected this year. Some $760,-
000 has been used in constructing and equipping this, the new-
est and most expensive building on campus. A recent grant
of $35,000 by the Kresge Founda-

house one science department on
each floor. Physics will occupy
the top floor, chemistry the mid-
dle, or second floor, while the bi-
ology department will occupy the
ground floor and spill over to the
basement. There are about 60
offices, laboratories, and lecture
rooms in the building, which in-
cludes approximately 35 labora-
tories. The museum will be mov-
ed from its present location to the
new building as soon as possible.
It has been estimated that there
are some 200 boxes of specimens
and other pieces to be moved.

tion of Detroit, Michigan, will en-
able the college to install hot wat-
er in the building, do some addi-
tional painting and much of the
necessary landscaping and con-
struction of walks and drives
around the building. The Gener-
al Education Board of New York
has granted the sum of $50,000 to
the college to be used in purchas-
ing the new equipment for the
building.

The story behind the Kresge
grant is one of great interest to
us all. .Last year Dr. Frederick
Olert preached the baccalaureate
sermon to the Class of 1950. This
past fall Dr. Olert, who is a per-
sonal friend of some of the trus-
tees of the Kresge Foundation, in-
troduced Wallace M. Alston, vice
president, to these friends and
since that time Dr. James Ross
McCain has visited several of the
group. The result was the grant
mentioned above, although the
Foundation had never heard of
Agnes Scott or the colleges of this
area.

There are some people that I

never can find.
And it's not because any of them

is a grind.
No one knows where Louise Hert-

wig or Henry is
Could be they've been flunked by

old Pop quiz?
I can't find Anne Kincaid or a

prophecy I'd make.
She sleeps all day that girl's

never awake.
Jerry Keef and Wilton Rice paid

tuition to the wrong hand
They should not have given it to

school, but to the Loew's Grand.
When summer season rolls around.

they seek a new type of fun,
Morning, afternoon and evening

Those two sit in the sun.
Maybe they will own a theatre or

even one a beach
But the only way that they'll be

happy is with one of each.
The list is over, I'm all through;
Turn and wake the person next

to you.

I'm sorry this was unintelligible

to some of you folks,
But a prophecy can't escape some

local jokes.
Help, stop, goodness, oh
I forgot one yes, Cissie Spiro.
That's all right, I guess, for if
this prophecy didn't suit ya',
There is no point in mentioning

me I haven't any future.

The Varsity

Our Small Variety Insures Freshness

Curb Service

By Calico

In an unexpected slaughter, plus rain for the weeping mul-
titudes (?) of students, the faculty team defeated the varsity
17-2 in the game on the hockey field -just before exam week.

''Little Wally" Alston, first batter for the faculty, receive^
the first brunt of the varsity, who must have felt the impend-
ing doom due them by the end of
the game. Somewhere between
home and first base, Alston twist-
ed his leg and tore a tendon, forc-
ing him to leave the game.

Proving themselves undaunted
by the casulty, the faculty made
an immediate comeback, getting
ahead in the first inning. "Geor-
gie-porgie" Hayes' curve pitches
were just too much for the var-
sity. As if that weren't enough,
"the, pop quiz kid" made a home
run. as d d "Handsome" Jones,

Cathy Davis, class of '50, also
twisted her leg while running, but
escaped with nothing more than a
something commonly called a
"charley horse." (One says who
has never had one, obviously.)

Visiting from Emory, trying to
rattle the pitcher, was "Frenchy"
Strozier, father of Winnie Stro-
zier, pitcher for the varsity. Win-
nie's fast balls were as fast as
usual, but the faculty was well up
to the speed.

Winnie presented to Helena
Wililnms, U. U., (Usually Um-
pire), a Softball engraved by all
the members of the varsity for
her work in sports, since she is
leaving this year.

Completing the final three in-
nings under difficulties of rain and
mud, the faculty ran base after
base to make the final score 17-2,
