BOZ Sends Memo
To ASC Writers

Do you like to try your hand
at creative writing, yet feel un-
certain of the results? If you do,
and would welcome constructive
criticism of your efforts by other
students, perhaps the college writ-
ing club could help you. Or may-
be you find it hard to make time
for writing without having some
sort of assigned deadline to work
against, and would like an oppor-
tunity to develop your talent
through practice. If either of these
is true, why don't you consider
B. O. Z. ? The informal monthly
meetings (this year to be in the
afternoon) are devoted to reading
and .criticism of original works by
its members. Its overall purpose
is to encourage creative writing
on campus.

B. O. Z. reminds you that fall
quarter tryouts for new members
are now open. Any sophomore,
junior, or senior is eligible; prose
writings such as essays, plays,
sketches, short stories, or scen-
arios are acceptable as entries-
These entries may be placed in
the box in the mailroom or sent
by local mail to Caroline Crea be-
fore the closing deadline, October
12. Interested students are urged
to begin now to prepare a try-out,
or to submit to B. O. Z. any man-
uscript already completed.

Robarts Receives High Honor
In ROC School This Summer

By Mary Ann Garrard

One of the Navy's prettiest enthusiasts, Helen Jean Robarts,
really makes Navy life sound .appealing. After two sum-
mers at Reserve Officers' Candidate school in Great Lakes,
111., she has nothing but glowing reports of the experience.

Incidentally, Helen Jean, a senior. psychology major here
was Battalion Commander, hav- '

be fascinated.

ing received the highest honor
conferred on a Reserve Officer
Candidate. Captain Joy B. Han-
cock, of the Waves, made the
presentation of the certificate at
the last review.

R. O. C school opens each sum-
mer for six weeks. There were
200 girls participating from 95
different colleges. The two classes
are carried on at the same time,
one for basic training, and one
for advanced candidates.

Helen Jean's day began at 6
a. m. with never an idle moment
till 9:30 and taps. In true Navy-
custom the girls went in a pla-
toon through the day which in-
cluded classes (six hours a day
studying Naval law, history, and
personal administration), an
hour's drill, planned recreation,
and precious little free time. Be-
sides the regular schedule they
stood watch in the barracks, were
junior officers of the day, present-,
ed a company show, had song
fests, took a cruise on Lake Mich-
igan, had picnics on the shores,
and spent weekends in Chicago.

One of the highlights of the six-
weeks was the review held weekly
at Ross Field. The R. O. C. school
and 4,000 men participated.

When Helen Jean graduated
from Agnes Scott next June she
will be a commissioned ensign.
She will then go into active duty-

Stukes Announces Plans
For Alston Inauguration

The formal inauguration of
Dr. Wallace M. Alston as
president of Agues Scott Col-
lege begins the evening of
October 22 and extends
through Oct. 23, announced
S- Guerry Stukes, registrar
and professor of psychology.
There are to be approximate-
ly 150 visitors on campus
during this time; all students
are asked to keep these dates
in mind. Further details are
to be announced in the near
future.

Students to Study
AS Honor System

Student Government's special
interest in the honor system this
year will provide a two-day em-
phasis program today and tomor-
row. In convocation this morning
Dr. Alston spoke on the honor sys-
tem on our campus; hall discus-
sions will be held tonight in all
the dorms and cottages under the
leadership of various members of
the student body. A day student
discussion of the honor system
was held on Tuesday afternoon.

On Thursday morning the tra-
ditional pledge ceremony will be
held for new and old students in
student meeting. It is believed
that renewed awareness of the
honor system on the part of all
members of the college will re-
sult in a feeling of the responsibil-
ity held by each individual for
upholding the honor code and the
necessity for making it work on
our campus.

partment of music presented Pro-
fessor Michael McDowell in a pi-

"Is It Nothing To Us?"

Last week Helen Land, president of Christian association,
presented to the campus the theme around which the work
of C. A. is to be centered this year. It seems entirely fitting
with the unselfish principles of that organization and with
the current times that they should have chosen the thought
provoking verse from Lamentations 9:12, "Is it nothing to
you, all ye that pass by?"

In the explanation of the cabinet's selection, Helen pointed
to many facts with which most of us would rather not con-
cern ourselves. She mentioned the menace of communism
and the fact that in many places the communists have won
the battle for men's minds by default; nothing else was
offered.

Everyone recognizes that there is a genuine need through-
out the world for something, both spiritual and material, to
give men reason for living. Can we call ourselves Christians
and do nothing to answer that need?

Communism is working ceaselessly to fill the vacancy in
those lives and to stamp out all competitors for men's minds
and souls. Helen said, "If the western world is to overcome
the enthusiasm of communism, it must have an answer."
That answer can hardly be in terms of our "way of life," for it
is often corrupt, as materialistic as communism itself.

Rather, our answer must come from the heart, an earnest
desire to aid the world's needy. Our specific duty as out-
lined by C. A. is to see what we privileged students have,
. know what other Christian students are doing, and support
our own organization in its projects. Three-fourths of Agnes
Scott C. A. funds are sent off campus. Our contributions,
therefore, are a direct and concrete answer to the need of
other students.

We can help in other ways, too. By keeping well informed,
by availing ourselves of the opportunity to help the C. A.
cabinet in its work, and even by corresponding with willing
foreign students.

Christian association has seen our brother's need; can we
satisfy ourselves in complacency?

"Is it nothing to us, you and me?" P. S.

To The Frosh-

Probably "last but not least," we, the staff of the Agnes
Scott News, welcome the class of '55. This now is your
newspaper, as well as ours who have been here before. We
hope that you will find it interesting, informing, and enter-
taining. It is our duty to present news that we think will be
of campus interest and also news that we think SHOULD
be of campus interest.

It is your privilege to judge the News by its merits and
mistakes. We hope that you will read it from cover to cover
(which isn't too far), and offer any suggestions for its im-
provement that come to mind. In the spring we will open try-
outs for reporters and business assistants, for which all fresh-
men are eligible, regardless of previous experience.

Wednesday is publication day for the News. Copy is
edited on Sunday nights, we write headlines and "make up"
the pages on Monday nights, and Tuesday is the "day at the
printers." We have a room in the upstairs of Murphey Cand-
ler in which we work, and we invite you to visit any time.

Well, that's it. We hope you like our paper, our students,
and our school. We're glad you are here. A. B.

Black Cat Brings
Songs, Skits, Fun
To Campus Again

By Betsy Hodges

Warm Indian Summer days and
turning leaves, with people rush-
ing from one meeting to another
. counting votes and making
plans; it can only mean one thing
it's Black Cat time again.

Black Cat, an Agnes Scott tra-
dition quite familiar to upper-
classmen, is a somewhat different
affair this year. The purpose of
the events, as always, is to wel-
come the new freshman class, to
help them get acquainted with
their own class as well as the
campus community; and, as last
year, to provide a get-together for
the whole community. This year,
however, the events will last from
5 until 8 p. m. on Saturday, Oct.
13, beginning with class relays
and a tennis exhibition match on
the athletic field; followed by a
picnic; and then an hour-long
program, in which all the classes
will participate, in the gymnasi-
um. This program will consist of
a minstrel show, with a chorus
composed of 10 members from

BOOKstore??

"Sorry, we're out of that one." "Do you want to sign the
list?" "Are you sure it's been ordered?" "Sorry, this is the last
customer today." Such comments as these were overheard
often by all of us the first week of school. Where? Obviously,
in a place on campus very inappropriately named the Book-
store. At this rate it will have to be renamed the Out-of-
Bookstore at an early date.

We consider this situation not only annoying, but very de-
structive to morale, study, and especially to the pastime
known as "getting your lessons." We also consider it unnec-
essary and inexcusable. Without books, students, teachers,
and classes are forced to delay already crowded schedules.
It is difficult, often impossible, to borrow books at the time
when you need them. We do not know why the books were
under-ordered, only that they were not here. We can see no
reason for this, since over-flow books can be returned to any
reliable publisher. We think "too many" would have been
preferred much more than "not enough."

We also would suggest that the Bookstore stay open extra
hours on the first days of school, in order to serve the stu-
dents more efficiently. To be turned away after standing in
line for an hour and a half seems terribly cruel to a fresh-
man, even more so than to those of us who are used to lines.

We regret that it was necessary to "gripe" so early in the
school year, but we feel that some action is necessary, and
must be taken while we all remember the Out-of-Bookstore.
Can't it be a Bookstore again? A. B.

ings are: "Freedom and De-
termination," Oct. 18; "Prob-

Manhattan Fascinates Merritt;
People, Places Lend Intrigue

By Marion Merritt

I got my big chance. New York held out her hands to me
and sent me an invitation on a yellow telegram. And, you
bet, I accepted with pleasure.

The big snorting air passenger bus rolled around a long
bend and the view changed from a jumble of dirty factories
and a crisscross of bridges to a
long vista across the water. There
ahead was the island . . . the city
. . . pointing her gray fingers to
the sky. Manhattan, majestic
even from the distance, shining
full of promise even through the
soot of Jersey. And of course,
like every young kid of 19 who
gets a look at it, I fell in love-
As the days went by, my infatua-
tion grew. It was a city like no
other, full of its own wit, its own
cheerful conceit, and its ,oWn
beauty. Bustling noisy, bright,
fast-moving, and full of several
million wonderful people.

Yes, I fell in love with it. I
loved walking along Fifth avenue
at noon, seeing the parade of peo-
ple, the beards, the Homburgs and
canes, the furs, the shining cars
polished by loving chauffeurs, the
brisk nurses shepherding their
scrubbed and pouting charges. I
loved Seventh avenue, home of the
clothing business, the "needle-
trade," inhabited by gnomes of
busy little men who make the
wide sidewalk their collective and
noisy office, talking of clothes all
day long, but in a language for-
eign to a tall and ignorant out-
sider like myself. I loved the
Village, the dim and smoky "tour-
ist" places, oozing with smoke,
jazz music, and grimy young peo-
ple, male and female indistiguish-
able in slacks with hair cropped in
an off-hand way. There were the
harder to find "real" places, be-
hind unlit doors in alleys, where
quiet young men and women en-
joy their books alone in the cor-
ner, dine lavishly on strange
Spanish food for 75 cents or talk

ing in the All-Ameriean Crit-
ical Service, First Semester
1950-51, sponsored by the As-
sociated Collegiate Press.

with earnest voices and eager eyes
heads close together.

I loved the city at night, like
a pattern of bright little boxes
seen from atop the Empire State
building on a clear midnight, or
looking like a black and sullen
looming cliff at twilight from
the water off the end of the isl-
and.

I loved the music, the color, the
voices, while a hit song was shout-
ed to me across the footlights to
my seat in the theatre, that to me
was a throne of happiness.

I loved the people. All of them
in their little worlds, millions of
little worlds, built on solhi gran-
ite, enclosed by the deep waters,
yet reaching out and embracing
the universe or letting a wide-
eyed thing from Georgia in for a
peck. There are no introductions.
Two pairs of eyes meet across a
room and voila! you know each'
other. You step into the kingdom
of a taxicab and for the price of
20-cents-a-mile you can make a
friend. Someone told me, "New
York is the Twentieth Century."
Well, maybe it is, maybe it's a
time, or a tune, or a make-believe
play, instead of a place. Let
someone else decide that . . All
I know is, that Indian was a fool
to sell it, and we Rebels shouldn't
have let them keep it.

National Council

AA Board Plans
For Coming Year

This year Athletic Association's
aim is to present a program that
will serve the wants and needs of
every girl interested in athletics.
For years the over-all plan has
been to promote physical well-
being, mental health, social suc-
cess, and moral leadership.

The three big seasons that we
observe are hockey, basketball,
and softbah in the fall, winter and
spring quarters. This fall also,
Ellen Hunter will defend the ar-
chery tit'e she won last year.

The ping-pong are*na is ready
for all and sundry to throw in
their hats sin-.:e last year's champ,
Nancy Hall, is not back. And Mary
Beth Robinson is all set to try to
keep her singles tennis title this
quarter, her singles badminton
title during the winter quarter,
and to team up with Frances Cook
again to win the doubles badmin-
ton. Jeannine Byrd Hopkins and
Adelaide Ryall are the last tennis
doubles w in n e r s. Margaretta
Lumpkin is our golf champion. Mif
Martin, golf manager, hopes to be
able to plan trips to the nearby
courses for all interested this
quarter- Plans for the tournament
will be announced later.

Julia Grier is the newly ap-
pointed basketball manager; since
basketball is a winter sport, she
is planning outings of all kinds,
i. e. cookouts, hikes, and bicycle
expeditions for this quarter.

A five-minute style show will
be presented in student meeting
soon. All sorts of blazers, pull-
over sweaters, and cardigans will
be up for approval as the new
school sports apparel.

Black Cat day will ieature a
faculty mixed doubles match, in-
tra-mural and faculty relays, and
a swimming meet. Ann Baxter is
chairman of the athletics for the
occasion.

Dates to remember are October
13, Black Cat day; November 7,
the interclass swim meet; the No-
vember 10 freshman square dance;
April 2, the water ballet.

Long Awaited Tennis Courts

By Marian McElroy

At fong last the sheltering arms of Agnes Scott are bran-
dishing a tennis racket. For a long time now we Agnes Scott
girls have been doctoring a sore spot we've had about the
tennis courts. We were sore because there weren't any. But
now behind the hockey field are four of the finest tennis
courts money could buy. They are

made of Laycold, a medium fast
surface, which many of the lar-
ger universities use; Emory, which
is noted for its consistently good
tennis teams, uses this green
court. It is not too hard on either
feet or balls and requires no up-
keep. Possibly its best feature
from a player's standpoint is its
dependability; that is, 30 minutes
after a rain the courts are dry
and ready for action.

Adelaide Ryall is the .tennis
manager this year. She and AA
have planned a singles tourna-
ment for this fall and a doubles
tournament to be held in the
spring.

Participation alone in the sin-
gles matches, which begin October
15, gives 40 points toward the
letter; the runner-up gets 50
points. Besides 100 points, the
winner gets a trophy. This same
point system applies to the dou-
bles matches also. White will be
the standard dress.

This quarter there are three
tennis classes. Because of the
bad weatfier during winter quar-
ter, it is not offered again until
the spring quarter. Mrs. Strat-
ton Storey, who teaches tennis,
hopes to be able to increase the
number of classes for this spring.
She plans to be on the courts as
much as possible, however, to
give the sport a good start this

quarter.

Anyone wishing a good racket
at a wholesale price should con-
sult Mrs. Storey for details- Balls
can be had in the bookstore.
Holders for rackets are in the
equipment room of the gym.

Hockey Season
To Open Oct 19

Attention!! All hockey players,
old and new, are wanted on the
hockey field every Monday after-
noon from four until six. On Wed-
nesday afternoon from four until
five the freshmen and sophomores
vvill practice, and from five until
six the juniors and seniors will
practice . These practices are
necessary to prepare for the
first game of the season which will
be on October 19. Until the regu-
lar games begin, practice games
will be played each Friday for
beginners- All beginners should
take advantage of this opportunity
to learn the game and gain exper-
ience before the season opens.

Ann Potts, hockey chiarman for
this season, has asked Ann Par-
ker, senior; Mary Ann Wyatt, ju-
nior; Gwynn Davies, sophomore;
and Peggy Pfeiffer, freshman, to
be class chairmen. Hockey game
schedule will be posted at a later
date.

Book Lovers, Take Note-

Preston Announces Details
Of McKinney Book Contest

By Barbara West

Book collecting can be one of the most rewarding activities
a person can do. It is to encourage this love of books that the
^Louise McKinney Book award was established a number of
years ago by a committee of the faculty who enlisted the
interest and contributions of alumnae.

Miss Louise McKinney, profes-
sor emeritus of English, has shown
great interest in the collections
throughout the years since the
time of her retirement and the
establishment of the award. While
she was on campus she sponsored
a "browsing" room sometime dur-
ing each year and obtained books
from publishers and the Atlanta
bookstores in order to encourage
students to buy books and read
for *pleasure. This has been dis-
continued, but the effect of her
delight in reading and owning
books remains present in the an-
nual award.

Any student is eligible to enter
the group reading for the award;
the only requirement is to regis-
ter with Miss Janef Preston, asso-
ciate professor of English and
chairman of the committee, or
with any other member of the
English department by the end of
the fall quarter. A collection of
at least 15 books must be made
during the current year, starting
with May 1951 and running
through May 1952.

Bound Volumes
The average collection is about
20 books and may include inex-
pensive editions. It is suggested
that books which are bound be
purchased, since these will last a
number of years. The collection
may include gifts, and include a
number of fields of interest, or
you may prefer to collect books
all in one field. The idea is to
know your books and to know why
you placed them in your book col-
lection and permanent library. In
May, before the beginning of
spring quarter exams, the book
collections will be examined by a
committee of judges and the book
owners informally interviewed
concerning their books. The name
of the winner of the award will
be announced at Commencement.

Violinist Will Play

Stukes Discloses
Program of Events

Plans for the inauguration of
Dr. Wallace McPherson Alston as
third president of Agnes Scott
College have been announced, by
Dean S. Guerry Stukes, chairman
of arrangements for the inaugural
exercises.

Several score college presidents
and hundreds of other representa-
tives from institutions of higher
learning over the nation will form
the academic procession on Octo-
ber 23, when Dr. Alston will be
officially inducted into office. /

Festivities will begin on the ev-
ening of October 22 with an ad-
dress by Dr. Howard Foster Low-
ry, president of Wooster College
in Ohio. President Sarah G. Bland-
ing of Vassar College will be prin-
cipal speaker at the inaugural
ceremony at 10:30 the following
morning; Dr. Theodore H. Jack,
president of Randolph-Macon Wo-
man's College, will speak at the
luncheon for official delegates im-
mediately following. Events of the
afternoon will include the dedica-
tion of Agnes Scott's new John
Bulow Campbell Science Hall, one
of the largest educational build-
ings in Georgia, and a reception
honoring President and Mrs. Al-
ston.

Agnes Scott "kittens" Mary Land, Margaret Williamson, and Pat Waters (1. to r.) pre-
pare to show upper class "cats" that the freshmen are worthy of the Black Cat. Margaret
is chairman and Mary and Pat will lead cheers and songs.

AS Campus Kittens Purr
Oxer Plans for The Cat'

By Betty Jane Sharpe

According to Webster, a cat is a "carnivorous mammal long kept by man as a pet or for
catching rats or mice." Well, maybe Mr* Webster didn't know about the cat at Agnes Scott.
This little black feline doesn't catch rats or mice, and he isn't exactly a pet either. He's an
integral, traditional part of Agnes Scott, and he's used for such things as uniting the fresh-
man class, helping them choose their leaders, stirring up pep and spirit, and, most of all,
just giving the frosh a great big

welcome. He's been passed down
from class to class now for a long
time but he doesn't seem to mind
at all. He knows what it's all
about, and he seems to be more
than willing to help in orientation
of the frosh.

Hutchens Attends Conference
On Women's Defense Role

Miss Eleanor Hutchens, Agnes Scott alumnae director,
has recently returned from a conference on Women in the
Defense Decade which was held in New York City, Sept.
27 and 28.

The conference, presented by the American Council of
Education, was for the purpose of

discussing what women's atti-
tudes, philosophy and activities
should be in the next 10 years.

Among the 1,000 women attend-
ing the conference were represen-
tatives from women's colleges and
coeducational institutions which
are members of the American
Council on Education, educational
v>rganizations such as the Ameri-
can Association of University Wo-
men and the National Congress of
Parents and Teachers whose con-
corn is with education, National
Women's organizations such as
the representatives of government
and the Armed Forces.

The program included lectures
and discussions on such themes
as the home, citizenship, health
ar.d welfare, the armed forces,
nroduction for defense and peace,
education, creative leisure, and
everyday economics.

Lecturing on these themes were
such distinguished speakers as An-

classes used to fight for this lit-
tle black kitty but now the Black
Cat day activities have been
changed, and it isn't on a compet-
itive basis anymore. It has been
revised to a community affair,
and almost everyone on campus
has some part. Every year, ear-
ly in October, the sophomores are
to present the traditional Black
Cat, adorned with bells from pre-
vious years, to the freshman class.

This year, the afternoon pro-
gram, which is under the direction
of Athletic association, will 'begin
at 5 p. m. After the Black Cat
has been placed upon his pedestal
to reign for the day, the class will
march onto the hockey field, sing-
ing their class songs. The pro-
gram will consist of relays with
the faculty and students, and a
tennis match between Mrs. Story,

skit this year will be a Black Cat

"kittens" from each class. In
addition to the minstrel, the
classes will sing songs, which are
being written and learned this
week. The evening program will
be climaxed by 15 minutes of en-
tertainment by the freshman
class. The presentation of the
Black Cat and the judging of the
songs will conclude the program.

According to the co-chairmen,

improve the moral and spiritual
values of the country."

Busy As Bees

This does happen to be National Cranberry Week, and
several others of equally great importance (according to
Bob Van Camp), but here on the campus, and most important
to you, it's Black Cat week. People are busy as bees, everyone
in a dither trying to put finishing touches on class songs and
skits, paint props, and still shine in class. And it's so much
fun.

Most of us remember last year's Black Cat and how we felt
. . . just a bit skeptical about how the program would turn out,
uncertain after all the years of keen Black Cat rivalry be-
tween the freshmen and sophs, with the juniors and seniors
adding to the evening's entertainment. But it turned out
fine; the relay games on the hockey field had us in stitches,
the picnic was delicious, and when the songs and skits were
over we did feel much closer together. We felt that we knew
our community better, and especially our new freshmen,
which were exactly the things we'd started out to do.

So let's all enjoy this one . . . make it as big a success as
last year's program. The hours . . . 5 to 8 . . . just seem to fit
into your busy day, with no trouble at all. See you there
Saturday afternoon. B. H.

It's Our Honor System

Student government recently completed a two-day em-
phasis concerning the Agnes Scott honor system, one of the
most all-inclusive in the country. At the end of
the period freshmen and transfers signed pledge cards, while
upperclassmen renewed their pledges by repeating the vow.

A new scholastic and social year has begun at Agnes Scott.
Our honor system can and is only as good as we, the students,
make it. Big infractions of the rules are infrequent, but the
daily and continual minor infractions can and do cause a lot
of unnecessary worry and trouble on campus. Little things
soon add up to big things, and this is just what we desire to
avoid. Rules, contrary to popular opinion, were not made to
be broken. Strict adherence to the few regulations which
have been imposed for our safety and health means a better
college for us all. This year let's make it one of fun for all,
with few campuses and little "petty" work for Exec. B. W.

Peterson Shares Adventures
On Trip Down Tin Pan Alley

By Sue Peterson

After asking the police chief the cost of a broken street
light, the man in the straw hat with the cane swung over
his arm put down several bills and walked out. It wasn't
long before the policeman understood.

Outside on Broadway the man staged a small drama; he

cried out to passersby that his
heart was broken. He began to
throw rocks at the street lights
and to break them one by one.
"There's a broken heart for every
light on Broadway!" he shouted
to the crowds that gathered. Even
when the policemen came to drag
him inside the station, he was
still repeating' loudly, "Now just
remember there's a broken
heart for every light on Broad-
way!"

The next day a song by that ti-
tle was presented to the public.
It was a hit, but that its popular-
ity was due greatly to its publicity
stunt is unquestionable. It is true
that songs must be "good" to live
in the public's heart, but actual
popularity often would not come
to deserving soVigs without some
strange boost.

After General MacArthur made
his famous speech to the Ameri-
can public in which he repeated
the words of an old West Point
tune, publishers and band leaders
lost no time in striking while the
iron was hot. They made the
song "Old Soldiers Never Die" so
inescapable that even comedians
had a good time with it.

Intangible Forces

More than likely, songs are
sometimes made popular by forces
other than historic events. Deter-
mination, optimism, and other in-
tangibles are often the forces be-
hind them. For example, when a
wealthy New York socialite balk-
ed at the idea of his debutante
daughter's marrying a Jewish "no-
body," the young unknown vowed
he would become a success. His
determination along with his
vealth of musical ideas have made
him America's foremost popular
song writer today. You love many
of his old melodies such as "Al-
ways," "Remember," and "White
Christmas." Perhaps you will rec-
ognize him as the man who com-
posed Broadway's musical hit
"Annie Get Your Gun." Yes, that
young man was Irving Berlin.

Several years ago a man was
found dead in a cheap boarding
house; in his pocket was a scrap
of paper with the scrawled words,
"Dear friends and gentle hearts."
Years later someone inspired by
those words composed the song
you've probably sung under the
title of "Dear Hearts and Gentle
People." The words on that scrap
of paper were possibly the begin-
ning of song the dead man never
got the chance to write, for that
man who lay dead in the lonely,
cheap room was one now acclaim-
ed by all music lovers, Stephen
Foster.

Singers' Influence

Sometimes songs are made pop-
ular by rare people like Marilyn
Miller, a beautiful girl with smiles
and a pretty voice who, unknown
to her public, was dying as she
sang her way to stardom. The
song she made immortal in Ameri-
can hearts "Look for the Sil-
ver Lining/'

Sometimes songs are written by
people with dreams. How great
must have been the dreams of the
homeless man who wrote, "There's

No Place Like Home," and of the
composer of "Pack Up Your Trou-
bles in Your Old Kit Bag," who
committed suicide!

Indeed, traveling down Tin Pan
Alley must be a strange advanture.
Don't be afraid to try it. Just re-
member that the great Gershwin
himself, despite his efforts, once
failed at his attempts to write a
simple college song.

As far as I'm concerned, you
may have your roads to Mandalay
and your slow boats to China. I
know of a street of dreams.

Amen Corner

On September 23 the Method-
ists had a party at Glenn Memor-
ial church. There was a party at

Alexander Tells Experiences
Of Twenty Years in Pakistan

By Marji Henderson

We have a new doctor in the infirmary Dr. Janet
Alexander, who has just returned to the United States
from Montgomery, Punjab, Pakistan, where for 20 years she
supervised a 75-bed hospital.

Dr. Alexander, comparing the customs of our country with

those of Pakistan, says,

New Campbell Hall
Includes Libraries
For Science Books

The new science hall, known as
Campbell Hall, contains rooms for
departmental libraries under the
supervision of the various depart-
ments. These rooms will be open
for student use daily through the
vveek until 6 p. m., but will be
closed on Saturday afternoon and
Sunday.

Books pertaining to the fields of
zoology, botany and biology have
been moved to the biology library
on the first floor of the building.
This library is located on the
west wing of the building.

Chemistry books are now locat-
ed adjacent to the office of Wil-
liam J. Frierson, professor of
chemistry, on the second floor of
the building. Physics books have
been moved to the third floor.

Current periodicals in biology,
chemistry, and physics will be
shelved along with the various
collections of books. All bound
periodicals will remain in the Mc-
Cain library where they will be
available to faculty and students
during regular library hours.

The Hin-
dus refuse to eat any food unless
it is prepared by Hindus. Because
of this each patient must bring
an attendant to cook his individu-
al meals in the mud ovens provid-
ed. The Moslems, because of
their religion, also refuse to eat
food unless it is "Moslem" food.
This, of course, rules out any pos-
sibility of a diet kitchen. Since
mothers refuse to leave their chil-
dren at home, the hospital usual-
ly has more well people than pa-
tients."

This hospital, responsible for
the health of approximately 12,000
Christians and non-Christians,
treats 2,000 patients annually.

Of the common diseases of that
country, Dr. Alexander says, 'T.
B. is highest, with malaria rank-
ing second. With the aid of the
government and encouragement
of the hospital staff, the people
are learning the value of innocu-
lation. As a result the infectuous
diseases are fairly well con-
trolled."

Dr. Alexander has varied and
interesting anecdotes to relate
about her experience in Pakistan.
She would enjoy having visitors
even those not requiring medical
attention. We're fortunate to
have her with us, so let's pay her
a friendly call!

Artists to Entertain
At Sunday Coffee

Some 1200 - 1500 invitations
have been sent to artists and pa-
trons of art living within driving
distance of Atlanta and Decatur
inviting them to a coffee in the
stud:o gallery on fourth floor But-
trick on Sunday, October 14, from
4 to 6 p. m. An exhibition of
paintings in oils and encaustics by
Ferdinand Warren, visiting pro-
fessor of art, and sculpture in
wood and marble by Marie Huper,
assistant professor of art will be
on display for the first time. Most
of Mr. Warren's paintings have
been done since this past Sep-
tember, when he was a visiting
professor at the University of
Georgia. The exhibit will be open
to students and the public
throughout the month of October
from 2-5 p. m. on weekdays.

The coffee is being held in or-
der to create and increase interest
in art in and around Atlanta and
Decatur. Speakers and other ex-
hibitions during the year will also
be attractions.

The studio gallery has been
transformed from waste space in >
the "attic" of Buttrick to a most
attractive combination art studio
and gallery. New lights and low,
modern furniture have taken
away the bare look and substitut-
ed one of friendliness. The room
will serve as Mr. Warren's studio
while he is in residence at Agnes
Scott. Exhibitions and informal
student gatherings will be held
here, and speakers talking to
small groups of persons will also
probably use this room. It is
hoped that the new studio will be-
come a permanent and useful
member of the campus commun-
ity.

Seen Through a Hays

Frosh Continue Social Whirl
As Old Maids Knit and Purl

By VIRGINIA CLAIRE HAYS

Hey, freshmen why don't y'all get us upperclassmen some dates?
I never heard of quite so many freshmen going to quite so many places
in my life. Take advantage of all these parties now, girls, 'cause
when you get as old as your old maid sisters, the classes of '52, '53, and
'54, the men folks start caring for those sweet young things called
freshmen. It's a cold, cruel world.

Georgia Tech is still going strong with those rush parties! Those
Dixie-singing Kappa Alphas had a gambling party and a hay-ride
this weekend. Carol Miller, Patty Hamilton, Nan Scott, Margie Ford-
ham, Joan Adair, and Mary Evelyn Knight helped influence many
little Tech freshmen that the Southland is absolutely the best place
to live.

Donna McGinty, Nan Arwood, and Vivian Hays were shipwrecked
over at the Kappa Sig house at Tech. Jane Sutlive went picnicking
with the Phi Delts. Parlez-vous-ing with the Delta Tau Deltas at
Tech was Hannah Jackson. The Theta Chi chapter at Tech had
Peggy McMillan and May Lagers as their guests. Betty Akerman,
Louise Robinson, and Jane Nelson went dancing at the Theta Psi
house.

The ATO's at Tech had none other than Graham Jackson at the
piano. They danced out on the terrace with Erline Lide, Nancy Clark,
Cynthia Carso, Bunny Hall, Ann Atkinson, Lib Flynn, Ann Ward,
Nansi-lee Smith, Peggy Pfeiffer and Lib and Letty Crafton. See what
I mean^about all these parties?

It wasn't exactly a camping party but Fritz Orr's was the place
for the SAE party. The sand in your food and bugs in your drinks
* r ere marvelous according to Jean Levi, Ann Evans, Lavina Clark,
Libby Wilson, Betty Roberts, Harriet Mitchell, and Margie Trask.
There is nothing like this outdoor life, especially with those SAE's.

Emory is still over there no matter what you think. Just 'cause
they are through with rushing doesn't mean their parties are over.
The Phi Delts had one of those famous house dances Saturday even-
ing. Liz Lloyd, Sara Legg, Gracie Greer, and Jean McKay were over
there.

Ruth Posey and Martha Crowell had so much fun over at the ATO
house. They had a dance, too! And so did the Sigma Chi's; Lucy
Murray and Helen Folkes went over there. Wait a minute so did
the SAE's. Trudy Aubrey and Connie Curry took that in.

Dear Upperclassmen:

I realize that some of you "cute old things" went to parties this
weekend. But this is not only Know your Bank week, but also Be
Kind to Freshmen week. So, Be Kind won't you? And I promise you'll
get in the news next week! (Generous, ain't I?)

AS Alumnae Honor
High School Girls
With Recent Tea

Yesterday afternoon at 3:30 the
Atlanta Agnes Scott Alumnae
club entertained at a tea at the
home of Mrs. Ernest Rogers on
Andrews drive in honor of the ju-
nior and senior classes of 18 At-
lanta high schools. The guests,
Atlanta girls interested in attend-
ing Agnes Scott, were from Wash-
ington Seminary, North Fulton,
College Park, Henry Grady, Bass.
Joe Brown, and several others.

Miss Carrie Scandrett, dean of
students, welcomed the group and
Mrs. Wallace Alston poured tea
with the assistance of Sybil Cor-
bett, president of Student govern-
ment. S. G. Stukes, registrar and
dean of faculty, spoke on the
meaning of a B. A. degree and
the regulations of admission. Miss
Laura Steele, assistant registrar,
and Miss Su Boney, alumnae rep-
resentative, answered the ques-
tions of the honorees. Under the
direction of Miss Roberta Winter,
assistant professor of English,
Blackfriars club presented a skit
entitled "The Parade of College
Activities" with scenes portray-
ing "Aggie" at a fire drill, inves-
titure, May Day, a dance, and sev-
eral other campus activities.

Chairman of the event was Mrs.
J. Adna North, class of '28. As-
sisting her were Mrs. Earl Lan-
ders, Mrs. B. Speerman, Marion
Merritt, Eloise Eubanks, Frances
Marbury, Peggy Pfeiffer, Joan
Hathaway, Jane Landon, Mary
Prit'chett, Laura Hobbs, and Nan-
cy Hobbs. Co-hostess for the af-
ternoon with Mrs. Rogers was

ation, Atlanta chapter.

Story Will Serve As Advisor
On Athletic Association Board

By Calico

Mrs. Stratton Story, instructor in physical education, has
accepted an invitation to be an advisor on the A. A. board
for 1951-52 according to the Athletic Association. The boarcj
is anticipating hearing many new ideas and suggested plans
for our campus in the sports field.

A true southerner from Smith-

field, North Carolina, Mrs. Story
was educated in southern schools.
She received her Bachelor of Sci-
ence degree in physical education
at the Women's College of the
University of North Carolina.

During her four years at WC,
Mrs. Story was an active mem-
ber of A. A. One of the projects
of the board was to interest the
student body in college jackets.
Success and a sizable profit fol-
lowed after Mrs. Story was made
college jacket chairman. Mrs.
Storey was also chairman for two
years of W. C.'s Gym Meet, which
is similar to our Black Cat ex-
cept on a large scale. Her fa-
vorite sports were basketball,
softball, and swimming while in
college.

Mrs. Story was also active in

Link Sets Recocd In Summer Meets

Mary Link, a sophomore, is on
vacation. Of course she does take
a full load out here at Agnes Scott,
but she isn't swimming her usual
two or two and a half hours ev-
ery day. After a hard summer
spent swimming for the Atlanta
Athletic club and the Georgia
Amateur Athletic union, she is
taking a rest until sometime in
December.

This summer Mary's team won
eight meets and lost only one.
The team swam against La-
Grange, Macon, Rome, Gaines-
ville, Chattanooga, Oxford, and
Ft. Lauderdale.

One meet was held in Havana,
Cuba, for the Cuban meet. Try-
outs were held from all swim-
mers in the Atlanta area, and
these girls and boys competed
with the best from the big five
clubs in Havana.

In Havana, Mary, a tall, blonde
math major, set records for the
100 and 200 meter free styles, the

100 meter breast, and the 150
meter sprint medley. She holds
the high point cups from the
"Heart of Georgia" meet and the
University of Mississippi meet.
And Mary also holds mid-South
records.

Mary is from Atlanta, and is
a graduate of Druid Hills high
school. She became interested
in swimming about six years ago.
It seems that the "man up the
street" was Ed Shea, of the At-
lanta Swimming association. Now
Mary is swimming at the Ath-
letic club and is being coached by
Bill Cady. Her specialties are the
butterfly breast stroke, medleys,
and free styles. She will swim for
the sophomores this year.

Black Cat, Fellow Felines
Reign Over Variety Show

By Barbara West

The curtains opened; the lights dimmed; the show was "on."
Black kittens with white faces and mittens welcomed the
freshmen to Agnes Scott and Black Cat night. "Feline fine"
and "no pain" were the watchwords of the evening while
Jeremiah introduced the second Rebekah Garden club; it
was announced that a rock garden
for the quadrangle is the club
project for this year, since the
need for bushes on the colonnade
has become obsolete. Ann Boyer's
announcement of "Now I'M going
to sing" brought down the house
with laughter and the Ha Ha Song
following the campus introduction
to the Tuesday Men's Luncheon
club.

The YTLUCAF night club was
the hit of the evening. Who can
forget Emma Mae as the cigarette
girl who peddled "cigars,, cigar-
ettes, and almonds" and "Byron,
Shelley, and Keats"? Long haired
Carrie sat and giggled while flirta-
tious Mike played the blues; Roxie
wowed them all with her rendition
of "Voodoo Music." The nimble
chorus line of Winter and Lapp
were school girls once more as
they swooned over Paul; James
Ross was the -star of the evening
in the relaxing exercises. And just
what did happen to those absent
at roll call?

W lliamson Receives Cat

Ann Allred searched diligently
for the kitty, but when Carolyn
Wells announced that she didn't
get in until "half past four" It
proved too much for her freshman
mind to understand. The presen-
tation of the Black Cat itself to
Margaret Williamson, class chair-
man, by Patti Boring, president
of the sophomore class, revived
her noticeably and marked the
highlight of the evening.

The black cat on the backdrop
and the kittens on the stage didn't
do all the singing during the
eventful evening. Each class sat
in a body dressed in their class
colors and competed for the "hon-
or" of outsinging the other classes.

Judges to Reveal
Dek-lt Winners

Yesterday was "judgment day"
for Dek-it and a winner has been
picked. A prize will be awarded
to the freshmen, or in the case
of a s'ngle room, the freshman
having the most attractive room
in Inman or a freshman cottage.

Announcement of the winning
room will be made in next week's
News and the prize will also be
awarded on Wednesday. Judges
were Mrs. Annie Mae F. Smith,
supervisor of dormitories; Miss
Marie Huper, art instructor; and
Marion Merritt and Louise Ross,
who were co-chairmen of Dek-it's
program for the year which in-
cluded a model room in Inman and
conferences for freshmen with
decorating problems.

The entire Dek-it was sponsor-
ed by Christian association, and
the model room was decorated by

Official Alston Inauguration
To Be Tuesday, October 23

By Ann Boyer

Our president, Dr. Wallace McPherson Alston, churchman,
author, minister, and educator, will be officially inaugurated
Tuesday, Oct. 23. He is the third president of Agnes Scott,
and will be the first president to be inaugurated. He has
been a trustee of Agnes Scott since 1946, and came here as
vice-president and professor of

philosophy in 1948. Students who
had not heard him at Druid Hills
Presbyterian church immediately-
noticed his excellent speeches and
informal talks, his friendly man-
ner, and his obvious concern for
the welfare of Agnes Scott. Later
there were rumors of "don't miss
it" about his spring quarter phil-
osophy course.

Dr. Alston took office in July
of this year, still limping from ex-
perience with the athletics of Ag-
nes Scott. More often than not,
he can be found in his office in
But trick, never too busy to discuss
plans or problems with his stu-
dents.

Dr. Alston's Family

Born here in Decatur in 1906,
Dr. Alston is married to the for-
mer Madelaine Dunseith, and has
two children. Wallace, Jr., is 16
and Mary, his eight-year-old
daughter, is often seen, with pig-
tails flying, riding through the
campus in search of "Daddy."

Dr. Alston received his B. A.
and M. A. degrees from Emory
University, B. D. from Columbia
Seminary, Th M. and Th.D. from
Union Theological Seminary,D. D.
>"rom Hampden-Sydney College,
and IX.D from Davis and Elkins
College. He also has made addi-
tional study at the Union Theolog-
ical Seminary in New York, Uni-
versity of Chicago, and the Col-
lege of Bible in Lexington, Ky.
His Pastorates

Ordained as a minister of the
Presbyterian Church in the Unit-
ed States in 1931, he has been
pastor of the Rock Springs Pres-
byterian Church in Atlanta, Max-
well Street Presbyterian Church
in Lexington, Kentucky, First
Presbyterian Church in Charles-
ton, West Virginia, and Druid
Hills Presbyterian Church in At-
lanta, where he was pastor 1944-
18. He was director of youth work
for the^ Presbyterian Church in
U. S.. 1935-38, and is now chair-
man of the public relations com-
mittee of the General Council of
Presbvterian Church U. S.; a

member of the Committee of^
Higher Education, Board of Edu-
cation, Presbyterian Church, U.
S.; and a member of the Advisory
Council of Higher Education,
Presbyterian Church, U. S.

Dr. Alston is a member of Phi
Beta Kappa, Omicron Delta Kap-
pa, Tau Kappa Alpha, Pi Delta
Epsilon, and Alpha Tau Omega.
He has delivered lectures at
Princeton Institute of Theology,
Princeton Theological Seminary,
and Austin Presbyterian Theolog-
ical Seminary, and has made ex-
tensive tours of Eastern U. S. and
European colleges and universi-
ties

As part of the inaugural cere-
monies, Dr. Howard Foster Low-
ry, president of the College of
Wooster, will give an address at
8:30 p. m. Monday, and the inau-
gural exercises will be at 10:30

YOU Are Invited-

Concluding the festivities of the inauguration will be the
reception honoring President and Mrs. Alston to be held in
Rebekah lobby Tuesday afternoon at 4.

Despite the frequent announcements about the reception,
many students have the erroneous impression that it is pri-
marily a time for the distinguished visitors on campus to
greet the new president and that students' absence will not
be noticed.

However, a very special invitation has been issued to all
members of the student body, and Dr. Alston has expressed
his sincere hope that each one will come. The delegates from
the other colleges will be meeting with the president at
other times during the celebration, but this is the one occasion
when students will have the opportunity to greet him per-
sonally at an official reception.

Since the inauguration day has been declared a holiday,

there will be no classes to interfere with the reception plans.

An overwhelming attendance of the students at the reception
will be an altogether fitting tribute to Dr. Alston.

Every student should consider that time as her special
occasion to welcome our new president. P. S.

Are You Aware?

Campus Marks UN Week;
Evaluates Aims, Successes

By Donna Dugger

This is United Nations week on the Agnes Scott campus.
How many of us have paused during our busy days this week
to consider what this organization is, what it does, and how
it can and does directly influence us? Can you pause now
long enough to read a few facts?

The supreme goal of the United

Nations is the elimination of war.
Its toughest problem today is that
of keeping the peace without the
machinery to enforce the peace.
Non-cooperation of the states in
the Soviet system has blocked the
creation of effective peace machin-
ery. But even without it the Unit-
ed Nations has rung up a good
score in controlling a series of ex-
plosive situations before being gal-
vanized into the use of force to re-
pel the North Korean Communist
invasion of the Republic of Korea
For example, shooting wars in
Palestine, Indonesia and Kashmir
have been stopped or brought to
a standstill by UN cease-fire or-
ders.

One of the largest and most
heart-warming operations carried
on by the United Nations is the
program of the International Chil-
dren's Emergency fund. This
fund was set up in December,
1946, and is financed largely by
voluntary contributions of the
member governments. It has been
used on a vast job of feeding,
clothing, and doctoring needy chil-
dren in some 50 countries of Eu-
rope, Asia, North Africa, the Mid-
dle East, and Latin America.
Through the International Chil-

dren's Emergency fund and with
the aid of the Red Cross societies
and other agencies, more than
50,000,000 children in Europe alone
are being tested or vaccinated *in
a vigorous anti-tuberculosis cam-
paign.

Millions of homes have been de-
stroyed and families scattered by
war. The United Nations, through
its specialized agencies, and par-
ticularly the International Refu-
gee Organization, is working vig-
orously to give hope and a new
start to the refugees and displaced
persons who are the hapless vic-
tims of war. It is seeking to re-
patriate those willing to return to
their home countries and to find
new homes for the others.

One of the great advantages of
the nations' working together is
that they can meet problems which
no nation could hope to solve sing-
ly. Today a world attack on fam-
ine and hunger has been started
with more than three-score gov-
ernments taking part. The Unit-
ed Nations Food and Agriculture
organization is spearheading the
drive. It is helping the nations to
bring the whole fund of the world's
specialized knowledge and skills

More serious competition took
place during the singing of the
song written by each class as an
entry in the search to find a new
alma mater for the college. Mrs.
Catherine S. Sims, associate pro-
cessor of history and polifical sci-
ence, and Elizabeth G. Zenn, as-
sistant professor of classical lan-
guages and literatures, judged the
songs and found harmony, origin-
al tunes and inspired singing in
each one. To the delight of the au-
dience, Miss Zenn did not pro-
long the announcement of the out-
come of the evening's contest by
telling jokes or giving football
scores on games played two weeks
ago. It was revealed that the
seniors won.

Margie Thomason, program
chairman; Sally Veale, pianist;
and all the class chairmen are to
be commended for the fine job
they did preparing for the skit,
while Miss Leslie Gaylord and
Catherine Crowe, co-chairmen,
can relax and know it was a job
well done.

Messy Merritt Combats Life
Under Unlucky Black Cloud

Lately I have had the strangest things to happen to me.
I think I must have developed an unlucky black cloud that
hovers over me like Joe Blsfxzc (spelling?) (You try and
spell it!) in Al Capp's comic strip. I'm taking psych to see if
I can find out if I have some kind of hyper-co-neuros-itis but
so far Miss Dexter hasn't shed

any light on the mystery. Let me
tell you about it. It seems lately
that when something wet and I
come into contact, the liquid, she
goes all over the landscape. It's
all very sad, my friends walk
carefully around me, my mother
looks at me out of the corner of
her eye and has doubled the vit-
amin pill dose, I get fidgety fits
from looking at a glass of water
that's minding its own business,
and nobody's happy but the dry
cleaners.

Now, for instance, last summer
I was sleeping calmly one night,
hadn't had coffee or any sour
pickles for dinner, just blissfully
knocking out a little shut-eye,
when lo and behold, I am having
a wonderful dream. I dream I'm
lying in a bed made out of pink
satin and clouds, and that my
slave is handing me a vial full
of perfume. Not wanting to dis-
appoint the Ethiopian, I close my
eyes and pour the fragrant jewel
of the Orient on my face. Sudden-
ly the pink clouds roll away and
there is little Marion, sitting in
the bed, up to her neck in BLA"K
INK! Turns out that^slave was
nothing but a hoax, and I've pick-
ed the ink bottle off the bedside
table and given myself a little
bath. You know you hear about
people being black in the face.
Well, kiddies, I was.

Several laundry bills later, I
was entertaining a date one Sun-
day afternoon on my front porch.
I had been writing with pen and

Pictured in the new studio on fourth floor Buttrick are
Cynthia Carso, freshman; Ferdinand Warren, visiting pro-
fessor of art; Barbara Grace, senior; and Marie Huper, as-
sociate professor of art (1. to r.).

Butfrick Art Studio Reflects
Abilities of Huper, Warren

By Betsy Hodges

The very next time you get that "I can lick the world"
feeling, dash across the campus up to the fourth floor of But-
trick Halir A very awe-inspiring sight awaits you there
the art department's modernistic studio, planned and decor-
ated by Ferdinand Warren, visiting professor of art; and

Marie Huper, associate professor
of art.

These two people are every bit
as interesting and impressive as
their creation might suggest.
Blonde, cheerful Miss Huper, or-
iginally from Texas, is a graduate
of the State University of Iowa,
where she completed a year's
work toward the Ph.D. degree.
She is a member of Phi Beta Kap-
pa fraternity; and has received
numerous honors for her creative
work, includ:ng awards and ex-
hibits. She has traveled in Eng-
land, Denmark, and Canada;
reads Italian, Spanish, French, and
Greek; and speaks Italian and
French. She has served as a grad-
uate assistant and as an instruc-
tO in art; as mural artist for a
number of TV A projects; and as
designer for the Collegiate Manu-
facturing company (they make
our sad-eyed ASC dogs), and so
many other things that it makes
your head swim.

Mr. Warren is an outstanding
professional artist. A native of
Independence, Missouri, he studied
in Kansas City and New York. He
has served as an instructor at
Hunter College and the Newark
School of Fine Arts; and for a
number of years maintained a stu-
dio in New York City. Last year
he came to Athens to serve as vis-
iting professor at the University
of Georgia. Mr. Warren has ex-
hibited at the Metropolitan Mu-
seum of Art in New York, the

ink, and yep, you guessed it, set
the ink bottle on the floor and
drop-kicked it across the porch
into his lap, sans top on bottle.
Very nice. Now I am sans boy
friend and Mother.

The crowning blow came last
week. I was visiting my friends
in Cunningham Cottage one sun-
ny morn and was feeling good to
know that someone still loved me.
The ladies in Cunningham are a
sociable group, and we were enjoy-
ing a little mid-morning snack
from Threadgill's. I was sipping
my hot chocolate, so help me, like
a lady should, when bingo, it's all
over me and half the campus,
including the inmates of Cunning-
hab and their worldly goods. I
burned my leg off, but decided to
be a martyr and go to class any-
way. (It was psychology, and I
was getting more worried.) I bor-
rowed some clothes, threw my
soaked and fudgey clothes in the
tub, and took off. A couple of
hours later, Tavie Garlington, long
suffering housemother of Cun-
ningham, came in from a hard
day at the lab. She looked in the
tub, and there, in a sad heap, were
the clothes of some poor unknown,
stained dark. Tavie pictured the
headlines. Death Strikes Col-
lege Girl Slain in Tub. Carefully
avoiding a swoon, she staggered
away from the sorry sight to in-
quire who the victim was. Imagine
her surprise when she found that
it was only messy little me? Now
nobody loves me.

A tennis match was the prin-
cipal feature of the Black Cat

S. P. Wiggins, assisting professor
of education, were the winners

was 6-3.

On the sidelines, comments

teacher's beautiful and powerful
serve and Mary Beth's agility on
the court. A couple of well-hit
balls by Mr. Frierson enabled his
team to tie up the score 3-3 for
a few minutes. Mr. Wiggins was
consistent in his game and his
last shot won the game for him
and Mrs. Story.

After the match, relay races
took place on the hockey field

Emory put on one of its big shindigs this weekend. They had their
Fall IFC Pledge dance with Bill Clark's music, and a fashion show
from Muse's for free! Gallons of Agnes Scott young ladies were there.

had a house' dance Saturday and Marie Stowers and Grace Kane went
over there, and had a grand time. La Wanna Rigdon, Carol Edwards,
and Sally Smith toured to Athens to see the Maryland-Georgia track

Students Make Reservations
For Inaugural Hockey Game

By Anne Potts

Reserved for you: one seat at the "Inaugural" hockey
game Friday, Oct. 19, at 4 p. m. Big plans are being made for
the inauguration of the hockey season. First on the agenda
will be a parade down the hockey field in which the hockey
managers, AA board members, and of course, Dr. Wallace M.
Alston, president, will be parad-
ing. The ceremonies of the mock

inaugural will include several
short speeches and citations by
our more athletic celebrities. Fol-
lowing the "formal" installation
of our prexy will be the two hock-
ey games which officially open
the season.

Every class seems to think that
its team is better than ever this
year. The first game pits the
tried-and-true seniors against the
up-and-coming juniors. Only the
end of the game will prove which
team has made the greatest im-
provements. The sophs had better
be on their toes when they meet
the freshmen in the second game
of the day. Manager Peggy Pfeif-
fer says that the teamwork which
the freshmen have developed in
these few weeks is amazing. These
teams have all worked hard and
they deserve a lot of support from
fellow b classmates. (Attendance
counts for the Class Spirit cup,
too!)

We don't know how the odds
are, but we would be willing to

the occasion of his one-man ex-
hibition at the Milch Gallery in

wrote: "The imaginative content
of much of Warren's painting is in
marked contrast to the powerful
forms that characterize his or-
ganized design. His is a personal
style, matured through independ-
ent study and steady growth."

The fourth floor studio will be
used in the mornings for paint-
ing. It will also be a gallery for
loan exhibitions of paintings and
a lecture room for guest artists to
speak to classes and give demon-
strations. Miss Huper will have
her studio in Campbell Hall, where
she will conduct her classes.

'55 Club Members
Hold First Meeting

Yesterday afternoon between
labs, served meals and the first
All-Star concert the freshmen
tried to get together for the first
meeting of their '55 club, spon-
sored by C. A.

The program topic, "What It's
All About," was given by the
Christian Association cabinet.
This was an attempt to acquaint
the freshmen with the activities
and function of C. A. on this cam-

A S C Welcomes Alston

It eception Marks Close
Of Inauguration

A gala reception yesterday afternoon honoring Dr. and
Mrs. Wallace M. Alston, Agnes Scott's new president and
first lady, brought to a close the festivities which had brought
more than 50 college presidents to the campus to witness
the college's first formal inauguration.

At the formal exercises charac-

terized by dignity and color of a
600-member academic procession
Tuesday morning, Dr. James R.
McCain, president emeritus, pre-
sided. Davidson President John
R. Cunningham offered the invo-
cation before the featured address
by Sarah Blanding,. president of
Vassar. The 75-voice Agnes Scott
Glee club and chorus sang "Agnus
Dei" just prior to the induction of
the president by George Winship,
chairman of the Board of Trus-
tees.

Dr. McCain led the prayer,
which was followed by Dr. Al-
ston's acceptance speech. S. Guer-

ry Stukes, dean of the faculty,
then presented the official dele-
gates.

The inauguration festivities
opened on Mqnday night with a
lecture by President Howard F.
Lowry of the College of Wooster.
Following the inauguration exer-
cises Tuesday morning, the lunch-
eon of the official guests was giv-
en with Theodore H. Jack, presid-
ent of Randolph - Macon, as
speaker.

Campbell ^cience haii was of-
ficially dedicated by John A. Sib-

the reception.

Lowry Lauds Tower
Of Influence, Faith

By Pris Sheppard

Declaring that the "manipula-
tion of man," which leads to the
maiming of his soul, is the great-
est enemy of "our time beyond
the tower," President Howard F.
Lowry of the College of Wooster
delivered the opening address
Monday night in honor of Dr. Al-
ston's inauguration.

Speaking on the subject of the
"Time Beyond the Tower," Dr.
Lowry noted that the Eiffel tower
was built the same year, 1889,
that the Female seminary of De-
catur was started. Throughout
his lecture, he referred to man's
attempts to build high towers to
show his power only to have the
towers of stone and iron superced-
ed by more impressive ones. The
promised age of progress, forecast
by the builders of Paris tower,
has not arrived.

Yet, declared Dr. Lowry, though
that tower of 1889 has lost its
former glory with the fading of
its prominence, "the Decatur col-
lege abides, standing in unmiti-
gated hope." He added, "The
dream of Decatur outsoared the
tower."

Dr. Lowry declared that three
major problems are .obstructing
the progress of higher education:
lack of stimulation for the best
minds in the lower schools, the
improper balance between
"breadth of the general survey
course" and depth of intensive
study,, and the necessity of educat-
ing the "whole man" without let-
ting "the side shows consume the
whole circus."

Dr. .Lowry continued by saying

Alston Coronation Presents
Spectacle On Hockey Fie

By Adaline Miller

Last Friday, Dr. Wallace M. Alston was inaugurated as pres-
ident of the hockey season.

A more magnificent spectacle has never been seen on the
Agnes Scott hockey field. The procession began with the
lofty and solemn trumpet music of Camille Watson. Follow-
ing Miss Watson was Mif Martin,

beating the drums. The Athletic
association board, in their vari-
colored robes (pink and yellow
gym suits.) then rode the length
of the field on bicycles . . .A
most impressive sight. Behind the
bicycles were the senior hockey
players appropriately dressed in
black robes. The total effect was
one of grandeur and solemnity.

After Dr. Alston had been seat-
ed on his throne, each team cap-
tain presented him with a gift.
Peggy Pfeiffer, for the freshmen,
gave a distinguished-looking neck-

lace inscribed, "Lucky Strike
means fine tobacco." Gwen Davies
gave a hockey stick with the ad-
ice to "spare the stick and save
the student" from the sophomores.
Junior captain Mary Ann Wyatt
fastened on shin guards for the
new hockey president (as protec-
tion- against flying balls). Winnie
Strozier, president of Athletic as-
sociation, performed the corona-
tion ceremony, after which the
procession left the field.

The class games began immedi-
ately. In the first game, between

Recreation Room Features TV,
Magazines, Bright Colors

By B. J. Sharpe

If you'll take a look around campus you'll notice that some-
thing new has recently been added. No, not the science hall,
and not the paint in the basement of Murphey Candler. This
new addition is hard to miss if you'll just glance around, it's

right at the end of the colonnade and it is definitely bright
enough to see. What is it? It's a
recreation room and it's open for
everyone on campus.

Social committee has been busy
since the beginning of school plan-
ning, painting, and (you've prob-
ably been a victim) pocket pick-
ing. Remember those hot dogs?
Well, in case you didn't know,
they're the cornice boards now.
The college gave some money to-
ward this redecoration, and the
committee made some of it
through your hungry stomachs.

Potham Indicates Need
For W S S F Donations

"Through the troubled history of the past decades educa-
tion in Asia has now passed to the popular governments, and
new methods suitable to national situations are being intro-
duced. The desire to be free nations, equal to the recon-
struction of a society based on justice and equality, is vital
and common to all Asian coun-

tries." With this comment Miss
Elizabeth Potham, Southeast Asi-
an Field Delegate of World Uni-
versity Service, prefaced her de-
scription of university needs in
her area. Responsible for the dis-
tribution of WSSF and other na-
tional student relief contributions
throughout the Southeast Asia,
Miss Potham is W r SSF's represen-
tative in relationships with India,
Pakistan, Burma, Indonesia, and
Thailand. Speaking before the an-
nual Conference of World Uni-
versity Service in Norway, she
emphasized the determination of
Asian countries to help each other
as well as their need for assistance
from the international organiza-
tion.

"Students in the U. S. A. and
Canada are helping those in
Southeast Asia with scholarships,
books, other educational equip-
ment- and medical services. If
your desire is +o help our univer-
sities to fulfill their true func-
tions: if these gifts are expressions

of the unity and cooperation of
students throughout the world,
they have tremendous signific-
ance far greater than their dol-
lar values.

"Such gifts do not shake the
receiver's confidence in himself.
He knows that the basis of this
giving is YOUR realization that
all members of the university
community are dependent on each
other. This spirit makes possible
H system of cooperation based on
common needs and interests. Ex-
change of students and professors,,
exchange of ideas and methods of
educational reconstruction, inter-
university conferences and semin-
ars for better understanding
all can be included in a program
of mutual service.

"These are the 'needs' of all
countries including those which
do not require such material re-
lief as the provision of housing,
clothes, food, books and educa-
tional equipment."

Hope for Peace

Today, October 24, is the sixth anniversary of the day on
which the United Nations charter came into force. This
U. N. Day is the first date ever to be observed by the entire
world, and this year there are flags waving, church bells
ringing, speeches and parades to celebrate the birth of man's
greatest hope for peace.

Across the face of the earth the bond is drawing all men to-
gether from the Zulu children to the London sophisticates.
Children, particularly, have taken a new interest in the U. N.,
painting posters, making flags, composing songs. M. M. Goe-
bel, in the U. N. World, tells of one young lady of 10 who
wrote that "when I was in the lower grades, I didn't think
the U. N. was so important. Now I am glad we have a U. N.
It does wonderful things for children."

This new spirit, a belief in man's future which has been felt
even b}' the world's children, is evidenced in the new vigor
which has come into the U. N. Day celebration. The world
takes note today of the U. N.'s achievements, and pays due
honor to* the organization which lias accomplished so much
for the war-weary world. P. S.

Honor (?) in Library

In taking the honor pledge we exchange a promise for the
privileges of independence and personal responsibility. We
try to show that we are capable of being trusted. While it is
admirable in theory, this policy does not always operate in
actual practice.

Agnes Scott's library problems are an example of honor
system failure. Especially in the reserve room, where books
are very much in demand, is there a need to obey the regula-
tions. Perhaps mere forgetfulness or preoccupation may cause
a student to illegally carry away an important single edition.
But other reasons seem more apparent.

Consider the case of the girl who kept a reserve book at
home for three days. How many people could she have dis-
appointed or possibly inconvenienced? In one instance a li-
brary assistant found on the dining hall steps a novel recently
made part of an exhibit. Of course some student may have
unknowingly picked it up with her books, but there is little
chance that this happened". In these cases selfishness and
disregard for others seem obvious.

The 54,000 volumes in the McCain library are there for stu-
dent use. No one watches at doors or checks to see what is
taken out. If we are entrusted with such a privilege we
should show ourselves more trustworthy than the library
story has revealed heretofore. B. H.

Second Program
In Music Series
Features Martin

Raymond Martin, associate pro-
fessor of music, will present the
second in the fall series of music
department programs on Monday
night, Oct. 29, at 8 p. m. in Press-
er Hall.

Mr. Martin will open the pro-
gram with "Tres Versillos de
Primer Tono" by Diego de Torri-
jos. This will be followed by the
brilliant "Toccata in F" by J. S.
Bach.

The latter part of the program
includes compositions of the 19th
century, with "Chorale in E" by-
Cesar Franck, Choral Prelude on
"Eventide" by Tertius Noble, and
"'Magnificat" by Marcel Dupre.

that Agnes Scott's light shining
from its guiding tower is its Chris-
tian faith. Free inquiry, however,
must follow Christianity, for no
mind should be closed to all schol-
arly knowledge.

"Agnes Scott's responsibility,"
the speaker said, "is to give that
light of faith to her students, re-
deeming their lives from com-
placency and dullness . . . Per-
petual invitation is issued from
Christ's tower." The pioneer, Dr.
Lowry concluded, will take direc-
tion from that light and find com-
panionship in his search for truth.

ASC Organ Guild
Elects ASIsmiller
As President

The Agnes Scott student chap-
ter of the American Guild of Or-
ganists was formed last Wednes-
day under the direction of 'Ray-
mond Martin, associate professor
of music. Charlotte Allsmiller
was elected president of the group,
while Pris Sheppard was chosen as
recording secretary and treasurer.
Sarah Leathers will be corres-
ponding secretary.

The guild has 10 charter mem-
bers. Regular meetings will be
each Wednesday, with other meet-
ings on special occasions. There
will be discussions on organ reper-
toire and registration. The meet-
ings will give an opportunity for
the members to perform before
the group.

Members of the group will serve-
as organists for student chapel
meetings and as ushers for all
the organ concerts.

The group is planning another
tour of the interesting instru-
ments in the Atlanta area
churches in he future.

Chi Beta Ph

In honor of the seven new
members of Chi Beta Phi, the sci-
ence club will have a banquet on
October 25 at the Plantation
House. The new members, Ann
Baxter, Kathryn Gentry, Frances
Ginn, Barbara Johnston, Jeanne
JUnker, and Sylvia Moutos, will
be informally initiated into the
club at that time.

In addition to the old and new
members of Chi Beta Phi, all of
the science faculty with their
wives or husbands will be pres-
ent. After the banquet the group
will return to Agnes Scott to hold
the formal initiation ceremonies.

Marquis Childs' Speech Ends
Pittsburgh Press Conference

By Barbara West

Climaxing three days of formal and informal meetings at
the Hotel William Penn in Pittsburgh, the Associated Col-
legiate Press had a banquet and invited the noted commenta-
tor and news analyst, Marquis Childs, to speak.

Mr. Childs holds degrees from the University of Wisconsin.

University of Idaho, (his home
state) and is the author of some
eight or 10 books. He first gain-
ed recognition while working for
the St. Louis, Mo., Post-Dispatch,
later becoming affiliated with the
United Press. At present he is
in Washington, D. C, although he
makes extensive trips around the
United States and Europe at fre-
quent intervals. He is a mem-
ber of Kappa Sigma fraternity,
the Washington Press club and
the Washington Gridiron club. He
was awarded the Sigma Delta Pi
prize two years ago for his out-
standing job as a Washington re-
porter.

For his speech, Mr. Childs chose
the title, "Washington Calling,"
and then launched into a descrip-
tion of Washington today and the
professional politicians' ideas for
the 1952 presidential election.

Washington, D. C, has always
been rather isolated from the
rest of the country as a whole,

South Is Strange Experience
To New Philosophy Professor

By Pris Sheppard

A native of Pittsburgh who had never before been south
of Maryland, C. Benton Kline is the new associate professor
of philosophy and assistant in Bible here at Agnes Scott.. Mr.
Kline, with his blonde Texan wife and three-months-old son,
is living in the Alstons' former home on South Candler street

' and is thoroughly enjoying "being
able to walk to work instead of
commuting 40 miles on the train
each day from Hartford to New
Haven" as he did last year when
teaching at Yale.

Mr. Kline majored in political
science at the College of Wooster,
and then went to Princeton gradu-
ate school to continue in that"
field. Soon after, however, he
transferred to Princeton seminary,
where he received his B. D. and
Th.M. in Bible. He was a teach-
ing fellow in English Bible at
Princeton, teaching Bible in Eng-
1 sh rather than in the original
tongue; however, Mr. Kline is
quite polylinguistic, with a know-
ledge of Greek, Hebrew, Latin,
French and German.

While at Princeton seminary
he met his wife who was then
working on her master's degree
in religious education. He also
made his first acquaintance with
Agnes Scott there, for several A.
S. C. graduates were studying in
the same department.

Mr. Kline instructed in the phil-
osophy department at Yale while
working on his theological doctor-
ate. His work is now complete
a. b. d., which, in the terminology
of others in that situation, means
all but the dissertation.

The young professor had never
seen Agnes Scott before this fall
when he moved here to teach. He
had met Dr. Alston in Atlantic
(Continued on page 4)

having been built for this very
reason. Indeed, Henry Adams com-
pared it to a combination Greek
ruin and a sleepy Southern town.
The presidential election in 1952
will be watched from every cor-
ner of the earth, and although
this has happened before, never
has it had such significance.

The professional politicians have
chosen Taft as the most likely
Republican nominee and President
Truman as the Democratic choice.
Both parties will have three ma-
jor points for discussion during
the campaign, and it is not too
unlikely that some mud-slinging
will appear. Mr. Childs does not
think that a third party will have
any significant support in this
election and commented on the
fact that General Dwight Eisen-
hower and General Douglas Mac-
Arthur are both presidential pos-
sibilities. Eisenhower is favored,
while MacArthur is expected to

Games, Parties, Homecooking
Leave Miss Agnes Lonesome

By VIRGINIA ( I, AIRE HAYS

It was a rainy weekend spent here at Miss Agnes' school. Many
people left campus for home, or parties in other schools. Those re-
maining here attended the Tech-Auburn game and are still shouting
over the wonderful Tech team. Kathleen Whitfield, Barbara Hood,
Virginia Clift, Mabel Milton, Adele Thompson, Frances Sumnierville,
Doris Clingman, Mary Lindsey, Margie Thomason, Betsy Hill, Anne
Bottoms, Sylvia Moutos, Jeanne Heisley, Grace; Kane, Frances Mau-
bury, Patty Morgan, Adaline Miller, and Mary Beth Robinson had that
good old football spiirt.

Off to Pittsburgh

Ann Boyer, Barbara West, Ann Parker and Martha Fortson flew to
Pittsburgh to attend the Collegiate Press convention. Carol Tye, Carol
Jones, Harriett e Potts, and Nan Arvvood went home and enjoyed the
comforts of a soft bed, and good homecooked food. Connie Major and
Lynn Johnston went to Hendersonville, N. C. to visit. Nancy Whet-
stone went to Florida for the weekend. Anne Potts, Taffy Merrill, and
Dot Hardin attended the big doings up at Sewanee. Keller Henderson
and Jinnie Brewer went to Birmingham to see Tennessee defeat Ala-
bama. Marie Stowers and Shirley Samuels went up to Shorter to
pay their old school mates a visit. y

The next best thing to going away to see him, is having him here
on the campus. Ann Baxter was excited over having her little
pinee here. Anne Jones and Lt. Sims were seen around the campus
talking over the advantages of playing hockey at Agnes Scott.

And ain't we the stuff Virginia Lee Floyd and Lib McPheeters
are candidates for the sweetheart of the Sigma Chi fraternity over at
Georgia Tech! From all I can gather (the reporters took an unsche-
duled holiday) everyone spent a rather gloomy weekend. Cheer up,

the seniors and the juniors, Fran-
ces Cook led off with a goal for
the juniors. Not to be outdone
by the early luck of their oppon-
ents, the seniors came back with a
down-the-field sweep to the goal
cage, led by Ann Herman and
Winnie Strozier.

In the second half junior
strength proved superior. Frances
Cook, with the aid of Mary Beth
Robinson, made two goals in suc-
cession. Mary Ann Wyatt made
another goal for the juniors,
bringing the final score up to 4-1.

The freshman-sophomore game
was a battle from start to finish.
The ball was first at one end of
the' field and then at the other.
The freshmen, despite the
fact that they are new-
comers to the hockey field, look-
ed exceptionally good. Carolyn
Wells was one of the most out-
standing of the new players. Ju-
lie Greer, sophomore, kept the
freshmen busy with her well-aim-
ed balls. The final outcome was
unique. A freshman player (not
to be named for reasons obvious)
scored the only goal, and for the
wrong team! The sophomores won
1-0.

The Republican party will in-
clude a fight against "Truman-
ism," spending and taxes, and for-
eign policy in their campaign plat-
form. The nominees will attack
the state of inflation in the coun-
try as well as the petty graft that
has been exposed in ever increas-
ing quantities during the last
four years. The Republicans will
also probably champion the cause
of the little man who has no voice
in the great pressure groups which
maintain solons of lobbyists at
the capital. The main attack on
the foreign policy will concentrate
on the mess that has been made
in China and the question of for-
eign policy in relation to com-
munists as a whole.

On the other side of the fence
the Democrats will champion the
foreign policies adopted concern-
ing the Marshall Plan, aid for Eu-
rope and other successful ven-
tures; the question of China will
be ignored as much as possible.
The Democrats will probably "-try
to pin an "isolationist" tag on the
Republicans in this election as
they have always done in the past.
The Democrats are expected to
make a big play on the question
of "McCarthyism" which has
played such an important role in
Washington this year. Guilt by as-
sociation and smearing of people
will be attacked. Finally, the
Democrats have a most effective
weapon in the plea for re-election
on the grounds of prosperity.

Little Girls Take Over'
Campus for Final Fling

By B. J. Sharpe

Here's some good advice to anyone who may find it abso-
lutely necessary to be on campus Friday. The seniors, as a
final farewell to childhood days, will be celebrating "Little
Girls' Day," and just anything can happen. Watch your
step! Be careful what you say! You'd better not come out
with something like "here's mud
in your eye." Why? Because
Friday, you may get mud in your
eye ... or a lollypop in your face
... or a few squirts from a water
gun (accidentally, of course).

The day will noisily begin at the
crack of dawn for everyone on
campus, when about 100 little
girls (and maybe boys) will sweet-
ly trip through the dorms and cot-
tages, singing songs, blowing
whistles and horns, and just gen-
erally giving everyone a very
warm morning greeting. They'll
try to reach everyone, but if they
miss you don't feel slighted.

After this the seniors will all
go to the dining hall, where they
will eat breakfast together. The
place will be crowded with every-
thing from cowboys to Girl Scouts
to Alice in wonderland and, of
course, pajama-clad babies. Vari-
ous sorts of food may take to the
air in all che skirmishing that's
bound to go 'on there at the morn-
ing meal. The seniors at last
have a chance to let themselves
go, and be screaming, yelling,
tantrum- throwing little girls for
the last time in their lives (and
primitive is the word).

Skit in Chapel

The climax of the day will be the
chapel skit, which is to be given
by the whole class. Sylvia Mou-
tus, chairman, announces that it
will be a take-off on all the class
activities of the past three years,
and is under the direction of La-
Wahna Rigdon. About half of the
class will have designated things
to say, but the entire class will
participate. There will also be an
original song in addition to the
skit.

"Little Girls' Day" is an annual
tradition at Agnes Scott. It pre-
cedes Investiture, when the little
girls march into seniorhood. It
was started by the class of 1907,
and has been observed every year
since then with the exception of
one year. It is not extended into
classes, but usually includes the
entire day.

Agnes Scott, Emory Cast
Will Present Fall Play

A combined cast composed
of members of Blackfriars and
Emory Players will present
"The Servant in the House,"
by Charles Rann Kennedy, at
Glenn Memorial auditorium
on November 8 and 9 at 8:30
p. m. Included in the cast
from Agnes Scott are LaWah-
na Rigdon. Adelaide RyalJ,
Carol Solomon, and Virginia
Clift. The play will be pre-
sented at Agnes Scott on
Nov. 16.

Rome where he received his mu-
sical training under the tutelage
of such masters as Ottorino Res-
pighi for composition, Francesco
Bajardo for piano, and Raffaele
Manari for organ and Gregorian
chant. He holds diplomas from
the Royal Conservatory of Mu-
sic, from the Royal St. Cecilia
Academy, and the Pontifical
School of Music. Although he is
still a young man, he is recogniz-
ed in the music world as being
one of the greatest living organ-
ists.

Several world famous orches-
tras including the London Sym-
phony, New York Symphony, and
Philadelphia Symphony have
booked Germani as their guest
artist as well as appearing in
concerts all over Europe, South
and North America as a solo art-
ist. For two years the Curtis
Institute of Music in Philadelphia
claimed him as head of the Organ
department.

For the first time in Italian
organ history Germani presented,
in 19-16, in the imposing and mag-
nificent St. Ignatius church in

Rome, the complete organ works
of Bach, Cesar Franck, and Max
Reger, arousing tremendous en-
thusiasm from the international
audiences which gathered to hear
him. These recitals were repeat-
ed by popular demand in 1948 and
again between April 21, 1949 and
June 30.

In recognition of his high artis-
tic attainments, the Pope has
awarded him the Cross of Com-
mander of St. Sylvester, a highly
coveted honor. In 1948, following
the tremendous success of his re-
cital at the Pontifical School of
Sacred Music, Germani was offer-
ed the post of Titular Organist of
St. Peter's in the Vatican, a post
held in the past by Girolamo Fres-
cobaldi.

The program for the evening
here at Agnes Scott includes Alle-
gro from "Concerto in G" by G.
F. Handel; Aria, anonymous; "Di-
alogue," "Basse et dessus de
Trompette," and "Recit de Na-
zard" by L. N. Clerambault; "Pre-
lude and Fugue in E Minor" (the
Wedge), J. S. Bach; and the "Sec-
ond Symphony" (Op. 20), by L.
Vierne.

Barineau Delivers Address
At Mortar Board Chapel

Miss Elizabeth Barineau, associate professor of French,
was the featured speaker at the annual recognition service
of Mortar Board in chapel this morning. Her topic was ''Re-
search's Broadening View."

Catherine Crowe is president of the 1951-52 chapter. The
members are chosen from the i

campus leaders in the spring.

Mortar Board has an important
place on the Agnes Scott campus
in each phase of its three-fold
purpose of leadership, service and
scholarship. Mortar Board was
founded in 1918 in Syracuse, N.
Y., as a senior honor society for
women. The Agnes Scott chapter
had its beginning in 1916 as the
Honorary Order of Agnes Scott
College.

HOASC was organized by a
group of seniors who felt the ne-
cessity of an honor society to pro-
mote devotion to the college.
HOASC inaugurated various cam-
pus institutions and activities
Among these are: May Day, tra-
ditions for Founder's day, junior
sponsors, Cotillion club, and Black
Cat.

The HOASC chapter of Mortar
Board came into being on October
3, 1931.

'52 Maid of Cotton
To Tour US, France

Memphis, Tenn. (Special)
Approximately 40 cities in the
United States, France, and Can-
ada will be visited by the 1952
Maid of Cotton, the National Cot-
ton Council said today. Several
other countries probably will be
added to the Maid's itinerary be-
fore it is completed, the Cotton
Council noted.

A modern odyssey is planned for
the fortunate Cotton Belt beauty
who is chosen to serve as the cot-
ton industry's goodwill and fash-
ion envoy. After spending the
month of January in New York
City, where she will be fitted for
a stunning all-cotton wardrobe,
the youthful cotton emissary will
set out on her six-month travels.

In February she will fly south
to Miami for her initial tour ap-
pearance. Then will come Atlan-
ta, Birmingham, New Orleans,
Houston, Dallas, El Paso, Phoenix,
Los Angeles, the San Joaquin Val-
ley, San Francisco, Denver, Des-
Moines, St. Louis, and Cincinnati.

From Cincinnati the Maid of
Cotton will fly to New York City
to embark on her overseas flight
to Europe, where most of her time
will be spent in Paris. After her
sojourn abroad, the cotton ambas-
sadress will return to Boston to
resume her domestic journey. Her
tour then will take her to Phila-
delphia, Washington, Richmond,
Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Mem-
phis, Little Hock, Jackson (Miss.),
Spartanburg, and Charlotte.

When her U. S. appearances
are concluded at Charlotte, the
Maid of Cotton will board a plane
for Canada, where she will make

Big Bad

Come sweet muse, strike up your lyre-us,
While I tell of my terrible seige with the virus!
The virus ,the virus, the germ so terrific,
The tiny, invisible monster scientific!

It cannot be found, it is quite microscopic,
But what happened to Merritt was most catastrophic !
It came floating in on cool autumn breezes
And attacked this poor victim, who was took with
the sneezes.

It put sand in my throat, and a cork in my nose,
And in between fevers, I just about froze.
I blew and I sniffled, I sniffled and blew,
And took green pills and pink ones, but no good did
they do.

I lay in the bed for three terrible days.
My eyes were all glassy, my mind was a haze.
No lessons i did, no one did I see.
I sat in the bed and talked to me!

Now I couldn't find it, not even a clue,

But I know it's lurking and looking for YOU.

There should be a law which would make and require

us,

To search for, and seize, and spank that bad virus!

Editor's note: This can all be explained by the fact that our poor
feature editor has indulged rather intemperately in Mentholatum,
which has had this sad and unmetrical effect on her sanity.

The Abuse of a Privilege

Agnes Scott college extends a system of unlimited cuts in
classes to all upperclassmen academically eligible and to
third-quarter freshmen. There are few colleges or univer-
sities so lenient; most allow only a certain number per sub-
ject per quarter or semester.

It is generally known here on campus that cutting a class
means almost double the work, by the time you borrow notes
and do double studying, yet many persons continue cutting
when it isn't necessary. Valuable material is covered in
lectures that the best of notes cannot contain. Therefore,
the student is losing valuable material by not attending class.

There are legitimate times to cut classes. Illness is ex-
cused, if you are in the infirmary. Out-of-town trips cannot
be made without cuts, and all of us like to go home once in
a while. Conferences and other student meetings help us to
know the problems of other young people as well as enrich-
ing our understanding of those problems, but without cuts
we could not attend these conferences.

Some students do not cut any classes, others cut numerous
times, still others prefer to cut a few times well-distributed
throughout the quarter. The latter is the arrangement most
of us prefer and is the one recommended, if cutting is neces-
sary. This year let's try to cut only when necessary, and then
be courteous enough to tell the professors concerned in ad-
vance. They appreciate it. B. W.

'Streetcar 7 Themes
Emphasize Setting
In New Orleans

A single listening to the "A
Streetcar Named Desire" music
score reveals the content of this
intense motion picture: savage ex-
posure of raw emotions, loneliness,
the desire to love and be loved,
the wickedness, misunderstanding
and cruelty of man.

Composed by Alex North, the
score is one of the first motion
pictures to utilize principally the
jazz idiom. Reflecting the story's
setting, the Old Quarter of New
Orleans, the music is marked by
recurrent themes of small group
jazz. North creates vivid por-
traits of mood, characters and
theme. He captures the quality
of haunted innocence in the fad-
ing dreams of Blanche duBois (Vi-
vien Leigh) who lived in illusion
rather than face her true self.
Stanley Kowalski (Marlon Bran-
do) represents the harsh force of
reality. North's music excites the
suggestion of impending violence
in the character.

The musical plan behind "Street-
car's" composition was to avoid
entirely the step by step approach
(known as "Mickey Mouse" in the
trade) of conventional motion pic-
ture backgrounds, and play direct-
Jy against the screen action as a
means of heightening dramatic ef-
fects.

A newcomer to Hollywood, Alex
North has previously written for
modern ballet, choral, orchestral,
and chamber music groups. He is
a Guggenheim fellowship winner
and has studied at Juilliard and
with Ernst Toch and Aaron Cop-
land . North also wrote the inci-
dental music for the stage version
of "A Streetcar Named Desire."
A specialist in "problem" assign-
ments, North is presently scoring
the film, "Death of a Salesman."

French Professor Reveals
American Success Story

By Pris Sheppard

A supreme example of an immigrant whose faith in Ameri-
ca paid off, Pierre Thomas, the new assistant professor 'of
French, has led a fascinating life which sounds more like
fiction than fact. With a twinkle in his eyes the lean French-
man spins his saga of life in his native home near Verdun,
France, and of his "experiments"
in New England, Canada, Arizona,
Oregon, and now, Georgia.

Monsieur Thomas has always
been interested in languages, from
the time when he used to tutor his
two small brothers at home. How-
ever, he was graduated as a tech-
nical engineer in order that he
might support his family some
years after his father was killed
in the First World war.

The turning point in his life
came when he met a young Ameri-
can tourist who persuaded him
that his country was the "land of
opportunity. The American, a
teacher of French from Maine, of-
fered to sign the affidavit of sup-
port for the Thomases if the young
engineer wanted to risk coming
to America and entering the teach-
ing profession, for which he had
no preparation at the university.

This happened 26 years ago.
That very winter the Thomases
took that chance, and immigrated
to America just before the on-
slaught of the depression. M.
Thomas, like millions of Ameri-
cans, found employment an elu-
sive quantity; he did manual la-

bor while his wife studied nurs-
ing in Boston. His first teaching
offer came from Middlebury, Ver-
mont, and after one summer's
work there, he was offered the
position of a graduate fellow
there.

The following year M. Thomas
taught in Oregon, returning for
the summer session at Middlebury
as he has done now for 25 con-
secutive years.

M. Thomas' next job was in
Arizona, where he and nine others
conducted a progressive school
for 40 young sons of wealthy
families. For 13 years the Thom-
ases spent the seven-month school
year in Tucson, where "the par-
ents gave us their children to put
the brain into them." M. Thomas
taught all kinds of subjects, as
well as leading camping jaunts
into the mountains and refereeing
at the polo and soccer games.

During the war, the Thomases
"left the desert" to go to Cornell,
in order that their seven-year-old
daughter might attend school.
Four years later, M. Thomas

Nussin Is Two Foot Briard Elf
Who Guards Campus at Night

By Barbara West

Casman Doman Bonus, better known as Nussin, is rather
like the elves heard of but seldom seen. Unlike the tiny
elves, Nussin is a thoroughbred Briard dog standing over two
feet high and weighing approximately 140 pounds. Mr. R.
Mell Jones, better known to us as Mr. "Nightwatchman"
Jones, is Nussin's proud owner.

There are only two Briard ken-

US Civil Service Announces
Student Science Examinations

The U. S. Civil Service commission announced yesterday
the examinations for student aid (trainee) positions in the
fields of chemistry, physics, and mathematics. The examin-
ation will be used to fill positions in Washington, D. C,
throughout the U. S. and its territories.

Student aid trainee jobs offer

to college sophomores and juniors
the opportunity to participate in
special training programs in the
various federal agencies and to
become acquainted with the work
of these agencies. Appointments
to the positions will be probational
but are usually for employment
during school vacation periods, or
for the periods of employment
of students in cooperative courses.

After satisfactory completing
a period of on-the-job training,
persons appointed to the grade
GS-3 positions may be granted to
duty on the same grade, or they
may be promoted. These promo-
tions will be made on the basis
of their records of service; further
written tests will not be required.
In some classes, the scholastic
training may be acquired by at-
tending night school while serving
as a trainee. Age limits are from
18 to 35.

Since the duties of grades GS-3

and GS-4 Student aid trainees in-
clude both on-the-job training in
a federal agency and scholastic
training at a college or university,
eligibility to positions is restricted
to students who complete the re-
quired amount of education by
June 30, 1952, and who actually in-
tend to return to school to con-
tinue their undergraduate train-
ing.

To apply for this examination
one must simply get a card Form
5000-AB from the post office.
Mail it to the U. S. Civil Service
Commission, Washington 25, D. C,
so that it will be received not lat-
er than December 4, 1951.

Additional forms will then be
sent to complete the application
and an admission card telling
where and when to report for the
written tests.

The U. S. Civil service regional
office for Atlanta is 5 Forsyth
street, N. W., Atlanta 3.

come very popular in the United
States. The average life span of
this breed is 15 - 20 years, unusu-
ally long for a dog. The Briard
has a long body, although he is
not a tall dog; Nussin is tawny in
color, some are solid black.

Nussin's father spent two and
one half years in the United
States Army and his grandfather
was proclaimed the most perfect
dog in France. Nussin, himself,
is three years old and can do two
tricks shake hands and lie
down. He has nine brothers and

Mr. Jones keeps Nussin in a pen
behind Presser hall, where you
may find him all day and at night
until about midnight when he ac-
companies Mr. Joneson the rounds
of the campus for the rest of the
night. Nussin is a friendly dog
and will not attack anyone unless
his master is attacked first; he is
tall enough to knock anyone down
if he jumps upon him. His favorite
sport is to play with balls, just
like most other dogs. Unlike many
dogs, Nussin is deathly afraid of
cars, since he was nearly killed by
one shortly after Mr. Jones
bought him. The only time the
choke leash, the only effective
leash for Briards, is put on him is
when a trip to the veterinarian is
necessary.

Strange animals and people may
take fair warning about coming on
our campus at night; Nussin takes
delight in chasing them away. Be-
sides that, he is good company for
Mr. Jones on the lonely night
rounds.

The juniors made a goal in the
first half of the game. In the last
minute of the game the juniors
scored again; Mary Beth Robin-
son, right inner, made both scores.

Chi Beta Phi Gives
Banquet to Honor
New Members

The Plantation House on the
Stone Mountain road was the
scene of the Chi Beta Phi banquet
in honor of the new members last
Thursday night. Following the
banquet, each of the new mem-
bers gave humorous speeches on
subjects relating to their fields
of science.

"What Makes Benzene Ring,"
"The Movements of the Browni-
an Symphony," and "The Plague
of the .Locus," offered interesting
topics for elaboration by the new
members. The formal initiation
was in the music room in Main
after the banquet.

Investiture

(Continued from page 1)

the class of 1913. Miss Cady, a
history teacher in the early days
of the college, suggested Investi-
ture to confer the dignity of sen-
iorhood. At first the ceremony
was privately held in the office of
Dr. Gaines, the first president.
But the juniors, traditionally the
seniors' rivals, would attempt to
hide the caps and gowns, even car-
rying them away from the express
office. Therefore the class began
to announce the time of the cere-
mony in advance and to invite the
public.

From 1913 to 1937 Investiture
was in the old chapel, now the
recreation room in Rebekah. In
1940 the ceremonies were in Pres-
ser for the first time and in 1943
the Sunday morning service was
added. The first Saturday in No-
vember is the traditional date.

According to Dr. James R. Mc-
Cain, president emeritus, "Inves-
titure is especially pleasing to the
administration because we can ac-
kowledge the attainment of our
girls and still have them for the
rest of the year."

Success Story

(Continued from page 2)

moved to the farm of the Maine
schoolteacher who had been re-
sponsible for his emigration. There
he taught by correspondence until
one of his "pupils" for whom M.
Thomas had supervised thesis
work, offered him his position in
a Canadian university, while he
studied abroad.

Two years later, M. Thomas was
at Agnes Scott, which he de-
scribes as "another of my experi-
ments." Interested in seeing the
South for the first time, he added
that he was also glad to "look into
a college where teaching is still
a serious matter and the students
are really interested."

Having taught all kinds of stu-
dents, from spoiled third-graders
to graduate scholars, M. Thomas
reflected on America and Agnes
Scott.

He concluded, "I like it."

Big Doings Help While Away
Hours Till Christmas Vacation

By VIRGINIA CLAIRE HAYS

Forty-seven more days till vacation, then back to civilization, dum

de dum de dum de Ah! Can you believe it? Back where you can

sleep till eight o'clock, and the heating is not accompanied by many
sound effects. Wow! That's living, ain't it?

The Decatur Presbyterian Church helped celebrate the pre-Christ-
mas season with a square dance. Frances Summerviile, Margie
Thomason, Belle Miller, Louise Jett, LaWalma Rigdon, Frances Sistar,
Louise Robinson, Ann Hanson, Peg> Bridges, and Lillian Dixon had
such a good time swinging around and around. Can you believe that
it is only six and a half weeks until Santa Claus comes? Better be
writing your letters, girls. He doesn't come but once a year!

There's positively nothing like a good rain to make a hayride enjoy-
able. Can't you just smell that wet hay now? Harriette Potts, Lou
Wommack, Dele Thompson, Bunny Hall, Helen Fokes, and Lib Mc-
pheeters went to Stone Mountain with the Sigma Chi's from Emory
for a little fellowship. I am sorry to say that there was more bad
weather than fellowship. But, if it will make you any happier, think
what that good rain did for our Chrisbnas trees!

Phi Delts Have a Pre-Party

The Phi Delta Thetas over Emory way, to get in the swing of
Christmas dances, had a pre-Halloween, pre-Thanksgiving, pre-Christ-
mas dance Saturday night. Mary Ann Wyatt, Trudy Aubrey, Ann
Turnipseed, Liz Lloyd, Taffy Merrill, Beth Dugan, and Louise Ross
got into the holiday season with the brothers and pledges.

Going away for the weekend to look things over for the on-coming
holidays were Frances Summerviile, Anne DeWitt, Nancy Ruff nor,
Peggy Harper, Phyllis Fisher, Flo Hand, Frances Ciinn, Adelaide
Ryall, Adaline Miller, Lucy Doyle, Sue Born, Selma Schroth, Betty
Roberts, Mary Newell Rainey, Caroline Lester, Roberta Williams,
Hannah Jackson, Ann Walrath, Mary Hood, Phyllis Hess, Carol Jacob,
Carolyn Randolph, and Donna Dugger. They bring reports from all
over the country everyone is anxiously awaiting the sound of
"Jingle Bells" and big fires.

Some Can't Wait

There are always some who just cannot wait until Christmas to see
our sweet young things up here. So Ann Parker, Ann Herman, Nancy
DeArmond, Lil Kneeland, Irene Sasso, Marji Henderson, Carol Jones,
JoAnn Hall, Juleann Flowers, Linda Smith, Anne Jones, Betty Mc-
Lelland, Tunshy Kwilecki, and Andy Smith had visitors for the week-
end. It was such a wonderful weekend!

Marion Merritt and Eloise Eubanks helped open the debutante
season when they were presented Saturday night at the annual Hal-
loween ball. Who was it that said parties make the world go 'round?

Sincere apologies to Miss Margaret Elizabeth Thomason for omit-
ting her name from the list of those who were running for Sweetheart
of Sigma Chi at Georgia Tech.

Remember to be sweet little girls so Santa Claus will come to see
you, and study hard so you will deserve those delicious holidays that
are only 1,128 hours away!

'Science Demands Freedom 7 ,
Investiture Speaker Declares

In the Investiture address Saturday morning in Presser
hall Henry A. Robinson, professor of mathematics, stressed
the application of science to building a better world.

"Our very survival demands that we work in harmony with
our neighbors. Science with all its achievements has barely
begun to point the way," he said.

progress.

"Science demands freedom, and
it works for the greater freedom
of many everywhere."

Dr. Robinson described science
as a means of understanding the
world and man's place in it. "The
true scientist is a man of peace,
whose fondest dream is that what
he has learned! may be used for
the enrichment of man's life," he
said.

"It is one of the sad ironies of
our age that atomic energy, the
dream of generations of scientists
as the future source of useful
heat and power, dawned upon us
in time of war and found its ap-
plication in stopping short a trag-
ic conflict."

"The great problem of applied
science today is to make our life
what we want it to be." Dr. Rob-
inson pointed out the need for spe-
cialization and cooperation among
scientists. "One must love his
neighbor as himself. This is the
real law of survival."

Dr. Robinson said that scientific
thought must be free. He describ-
ed the end of Germany's great
scientific era because of the tyr-
anny of Hitler and the hindrance
of the Iron Curtain to scientific

Curtain Call

Blackfriars, Emory Players
To Give Annual Production

By B. J. Sharpe

The scene for Charles Rann Kennedy's "The Servant in
the House" is an English country vicarage, and the play dates
back to an early morning in spring in the first part of the
20th century. It was presented for the first time at the
Savoy theatre in New York, by the Henry Miller Associate
Players, in the year 1908. Since

that time it has been given in va-
rious places, and this year it will
be presented by Blackfriars and
the Emory Players as their annual
all production.

The five-act play holds as its
theme a quotation from George
Frederick Watts: "The hunger for
'brotherhood is at the bottom of
the unrest of the modern civilized
world." It was chosen principally
for its religious implications, since
t will be presented during relig-
ious emp'iasis week.

Since there are only two wo-
men in the play, there is a double
cast from Agnes Scott. Adelaide
Ryall and Carol Solomon will play
the part of Mary, the niece of the

Vicar and his wife; and LaWahna
Rigdon and Virginia Clift will por-
tray Auntie, the Vicar's wife. The
Emory cast includes Dr. George
Tillford as the Vicar, the Rever-
ed William Smythe; Homer Al-
cn as James Ponsonby Make-
shyfte, better known as the most
Reverend Lord Bishop of Lan-
caster; Ed Wright, as Mr. Robert
Smith, a gentleman of necessary
occupation; Ellis Reese, as Rogers,
a page-boy; and Richard Stewart,
is Manson, a butler.

"The Servant in the House"
will be given at Emory in the
Glenn Memorial auditorium on
Nov. 8, 9, and at Agnes Scott in
Presser on Nov. 16,

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, Nov. 7, 1951

Noble Experiment

Today marks the seventh week of College Convocation,
which takes place each Wednesday morning at 10:30. What
could be called compulsory chapel is something new for
Agnes Scott, and we wish to evaluate this program as we
have observed it so far.

First, we should ask, was there a need? And, with honesty,
we must answer that the lack of an "all present" meeting be-
tween faculty, staff, and students was a hindrance to coopera-
tion, as well as to the advancement of information. Without
such a meeting, such an important ceremony as Dr. Alston's
inauguration could never have been effectively carried out.
(At this moment there will be an abrupt pause for commemor-
ation of the outstanding way in which Mr. Stukes, registrar
and chairman of the inauguration, organized and "watch-
ed over" the celebration.)

In answer to this recognized need, College Convocation
was born. How well has it met its purposes? A variety of
programs has met us in these Wednesday meetings. Most of
them have been excellent programs, all concerning things of
interest to us. In addition to the excellency of content, we
praise the brevity and general interest of announcements.
Perhaps Delta Upsilon Lambda is having a meeting of its
three members in Gaines auditorium Saturday at 3, but who
(aside from THE three) cares?

When one comes to an assembly important enough to be
compulsory, one expects o find something of importance
there. We feel that Convocation is good, and has lived up to
its goal. The purpose is worthy, the results gratifying.

In conclusion, we issue a warning. Convocation is effective
because it has been interesting, current, important, and has
appealed to general interest. If speakers become dull, an-
nouncements petty, it will fail. We are proud, even fond, of
Convocation and what it can and does do for us. Can we
keep it up to par? The answer is up to YOU the student,
faculty member, and administrative officer. A. B.

Are You Aware?

Poverty Lurks
In Prosperity

By Donna Dugger

How much do you know about
the under privileged economic
areas of your nation?

"Maldistribution of income,
which is acutely evident even in
periods of inflation when the to-
tal national income is high, has
far-reaching effects on both fam-
ily life and on the community.
Remembering that the postwar
period is supposedly one of great
prosperity, it comes as a shock to
realize the problems which face
the majority of American families.
Sooner or later the community
must bear the cost of allowing
families to use up their savings,
keeping their chiklren out of
school or sending them to school
poorly clad and undernourished.
The community pays the costs of
poor housing, slums, illiteracy,
physical and mental illness."

We might expect a large num-
ber of hardships in time of a ma-
jor depression. But how can we ac-
count for these startling statis-
tics :

Many families never have been
free from economic worries. In
1949 vvhich was a year of high in-
come with a relatively small
amount of unemployment, approx-
imately one out of every five chil-
dren was living in a family with
an income of less than $1,000 per

Thompson to Show
Excavation Slides
At Lecture Tuesday

Dr. Homer Thompson, professor
of classical archaeology in the In-
stitute for Advanced Study,
Princeton, N. J., will give a slide-
illustrated lecture on the recent
excavations in the market place
at Athens, Greece in Maclean au-
ditorium, November 13 at 8:15
p. m. Since 1945 Dr. Thompson
has been field director for this
excavation, which is being con-
ducted by the American School
of Classical Studies in Athens. He
is largely responsible for the re-
search necessary in the recon-
struction of the Stoa of Attalus, a
project undertaken by the Ameri-
can School in order to provide a
suitable museum to house the
finds from the excavation.

Dr. Thompson will be at Agnes
Scott under the auspices of the

TIME Appraises U. S. Youth,
Reports on 'Silent Generation

(Released by TIME Magazine, New York)

In the November 5th issue, TIME analyzes American youth
in a provocative report titled "Portrait of the Younger Gen-
eration."

This is the first nation-wide appraisal of what this younger
generation is thinking and saying about itself, its country and
its future. An exclusive survey by

TIME correspondents gathered
opinions from every section of the
country. Across the U. S. they
observed and questioned the
younger generation as well as its
teachers and guardians. TIME'S
vvorking definition of the younger
generation is age 18 to 28.

This article is of such scope that
it will be of unprecedented inter-
est not only to the younger gen-
eration itself but to older gen-
erations, educators, parents
everyone. It discusses what this
younger generation thinks about
religion, sex, government, war,
marriage, jobs, ambition and many
other subjects.

In general, TIME reports that
American youth is silent, fatalis-
tic, security-minded, conservative,
grave, morally confused, tolerant
of almost anything and blaming
no one for its troubles.

Girls Want a Career

"American young women are, in
many ways, the generation's most

serious problem," reports TIME
"Large numbers of them feel that
a home and children alone would
be a fate worse than death and
Invade the big cities in search of a
career. There is every evidence
that women have not been made
happy by their ascent to power
(equality with men)," says this
report. "They are dressed to kill
in femininity. The bosom is back;
hair is longer again." The con-
sensus now is that the car-
eer girl* has retreated to the point
vvhere she would like, if possible,
to have marriage AND a career.
'Silent Generation'
"The most startling fact about
the younger generation is its si-
lence," says TIME. "With some
rare exceptions, youth is nowhere
near the rostrum. It has been
called the 'silent generation.' But
what does the silence mean?
What, if anything, does it hide?
. . . they do not speak out for
anything." Professors find that
they "cannot get a rise out of the
docile note - takers in their
classes."

This generation does not blame
anyone for the state of their
world, not on parents, politicians,
cartels, etc. The fact of this world
is war, uncertainty, the need for
work, courage, sacrifice. Nobody
likes that fact. But youth does
not blame that fact on its parents
dropping the ball. In real life,
youth seems to know people al-
ways drop the ball. Youth today
has little cynicism because it nev-
er hoped for much."

Byrnes Speaks Frankly

Gov. James F. Byrnes of South Carolina is well known as
an outstanding public servant and independent Democrat.
But his latest piece of advice, added almost as an after-
thought to an address at Clemson college last week, made the
banner headlines all over the South.

Speaking frankly in a state which is among the most back-
ward, politically speaking, in the nation, Gov. Byrnes told
the cheering crowd, "My earnest hope is that in electing a
president, the people will disregard the labels of political
parties." He then attacked bureaucratic powers and told the
one-party state to "support the candidate and the party they
believe . . . will restore all emergency powers to the people
of the U. S."

By this time next year Americans will have cast their bal-
lots in another national election. The outcome of the British
elections, which according to a most informal poll on campus
was supported by about 99 per cent of the students and fac-
ulty, has some significance for America.
First, the prevailing mood was, "It's time for a change. " This
perhaps more than any other was the reason for Churchill's
victory, although the high prices, skimpy rations, and the
situations in Iran and Egypt contributed to the return of
the "old lion." Is not America, too, agitating for a change?

Secondly, the independent voters not the dyed-in-the-
wool party-men, held the balance of power in this election.
The 4 million middle class independents made the difference
between the 13 million sure labor votes, and the 12 million
conservative ballots. Do not these British independents cor-
respond to the Southern Democrats who now have abandoned
the more radical Dixiecrat label and leaders for the more con-
servative leadership of Byrd and Byrnes? According to the
Manchester "Guardian," "Confidence and vitality have been
running out" of the Labor party. Has the confidence of
Americans been drained by the five per centers and Gen.
Vaughn?

However, the trends in Britain indicate that 1952 will be no
pushover for America's conservatives. The narrow margin of
Tory victory shows that voters like the things that govern-
ments can hand out by taking from the "haves" to give to
the "have-nots." Churchill's large opposition shows that
many were reluctant to risk losing some of the hand-outs,
even preferring continued submission of powers to the state.

Gov. Byrnes puts it squarely up to the nation and par-
ticularly to the South. Next year, he declares, "will come the
test of whether we will live as free men under a system of
free enterprise or as slaves of an all-powerful state." P. S.

Carrie Scandrett, dean of students, at the Senior Investi-
ture ceremony Saturday.

Two AS Debaters
Attend Tournament

A Pi Alpha Phi debate tour-
nament takes Betty Moyer
and Susan Hancock to de-
bates at the University of
Alabama this week-end. In
corresponding debates last
spring, Cissie Spiro won one of
the highest ratings for Agnes
Scott. At that time Betty
Moyer also placed a high de-
bating honor.

The forthcoming University
of Alabama tournament will
be November 9, 10, and 11.
The national subject for de-.
bate is, "Resolved: The fed-
eral government should estab-
lish a permanent system of
wage and price control."

Exhibit to Continue
In Studio Gallery

The exhibition of paintings and
sculpture by Ferdinand Warren,
professor of art, and Miss Marie
Huper, assistant professor, will
continue through November 15 to
celebrate "American Art Week."
The purpose of American Art
Week, a nation- vvide movement,
is the encouragement of art in
this country.

This oil and sculpture exhibition
is in the new studio gallery on
Fourth Buttrick.

When the exhibition opened Oc-
tober 14, approximately 250 vis-
itors attended. There have been
over 700 visitors, including many
art classes from Decatur and At-
lanta private schools, at the ex-
hibition to date. Mr. Warren
and Miss Huper have talked with
these groups, accompanied by
their art teachers, about the
paintings and sculpture.

ume of her poems and views on
life.

The poems are divided into four
parts, beginning with a selection
on nature and places, and continu-
ing with a group of descriptive
lyrics, fallowed by narratives
about the Moorish-Christian wars
in Spain.

the entire year have all been col-

class secretary-treasurer. Shirley
is responsible for achieving this
Herculean task, since prying mon-

Society Editors Ego Drops;
Chief Repents, Moves Column

By VIRGINIA CLAIRE HAYS

Dear Editor;

Well, I never! I knew my column wasn't the hottest thing in the
paper, but after all, did it really deserve the back page, and the
worst spot on the back page at that? I do hope that you will get that
staff of yours straightened out and we will have no more of this back
page stuff. Honestly, my ego is in terrible shape.

I've a good mind not to tell you any news this week, but since
Georgia Tech had its coming home this weekend, I feel it only fair
to tell you about all the girls I saw over there. In spite of the HOR-
RIBLE weather, all present seemed to enjoy themselves tremendously.
Everyone from the Fowler Street Five to the Phi Beta Kappas was
throwing a shindig Friday night. The Chi Phis (those sweet, inno-
cent little darlings) had a house dance. Virginia Lee Floyd, Harriette
Potts, Caroline Lester, Adaline Miller, Rathryn Cumbee, and Ann
Evans helped them get in the spirit of things for the great day of
Saturday. Next door, the Phi Delta Thetas were entertaining June
Carpenter, Jackie Simmons, and Kassie Simmons.

And, if you think that Emory is going to let Tech out-do them, you
have another thought coming. The Phi Delts over there had a won-
derful party out at Robinsons. Just ask Anne Potts, or Jane Hook,
or Taffy Merrill, or Mary Lindsey, or Frances Cook or Ruth Gud-
mundson about that party. They will tell you that those Emory boys
are just as cute as the coming home boys ever thought about being.

Of course there is always the football game. Between attacks of
the cold, Keller Henderson, Doris Clingman, Margie Thomason, Bun-
ny Coley, Betsy Hill, Phyllis Galphin, Mif Martin, Marg Lumpkin,
Ellen Hunter, Mary Ann Garrard, and Patty Morgan were busy yelling
for dear old Georgia Tech and Duke. Mighty cold football game!

Again, as I've said before there are always those who have to go
home to do a little advanced Christmas shopping.

Anne Jones, Betty McLellan, and Ellen Prouty went to Dalton.
Louise Ross went to Hattiesburg, Frances Summerville, Carol Ed-
wards, and Frances Ginn went to Athens (but I bet they didn't shop!)

That's all I'm going to tell you now. If I get on the front page, or
even the second, well, O. K., if I even get on the third page, I'll tell
you much next week. But, listen here Editor, just make sure you don't
put me on the back page. I'm awful sensitive!

P. S. Landis Cotten has a beautiful diamond, and Sally Veale a
lovely ATO pin. Mary Frances Sistar has a Phi Gam pin.

Music, Rhythm, Fun
To Fill Evening Air
At AA Frosh Party

By Nancy Lee

Athletic assbciation president
Winnie Strozier said, "There will
be fun and food for all."

When asked if the News could
quote her on that she replied,
"Yes. We have nothing to hide.
Our campaign is being conducted
in an open and honest manner.
We want the public to know what
is going on. The only curtains
we put up are in the shower room."

This dramatic statement was
uttered at high noon one day last
week because freshmen are an in-
tegral part of our college com-
munity. AA is an integral part of
our college community. But AA
has been here longer and will en-
tertain, according to its yearly
custom, those freshmen who will
not attend the Cotillion dance.
Why? Because freshmen like fun,
freshmen like food, and freshmen
like men!

The scene to greet the eyes of
those observing the frolic Nov.
10 may be this: the atmosphere
in the Main date parlor is tense.
There are girls, there are boys.
But which is whose? This situa-
tion is swiftly remedied and the
troupe marches to Murphey Gand-
ler for a fried chicken supper. A
greasy, happy time is had by all.

"Swing your partners and round
you go" . . . over to the gym for
some real, professional square-
dancing.

When the breakdown comes and
all begin to wonder hovv the Grand
Ole Opry keeps going all Saturday
night, every Saturday night, sing-
ing's the thing. Maestro Ginny
Lee Floyd takes her place with
doughnut in one hand and cider
(the soft variety) in the other.
The air is filled with music, feet
are filled with rhythm, and the
freshmen are filled with fun!

year, and three out of five were
living in families with incomes of
less than $2,000.

Other freakish disorders may be
found in housing conditions of the
country. The need for decent,
sanitary houses was acute even
before the war. By 1949, this was
the gloomy picture found in the
statistical reports: "Of the 23,-
700,000 urban dwelling units oc-
cupied in 1949, 5,200,000 were in
need of major repairs and 2,700,-
000 lacked adequate plumbing fa-
cilities. Of 6,300,000 occupied ru-
ral farm dwellings, over one fifth
were in need of major repairs;
3.300,000 lacked running water;
and 660,000, although they had
running water, did not have pri-
vate baths and toilets."

Before America can truly lend
a helping hand to the millions of
peoples throughout the world she
needs to find some of the answers
to the economic problems that
plague this, "the wealthiest coun-
try in the world."

Mortar Board Delegates
Will Convene on Campus

Mortar Board members from the University of Mississippi,
the Mississippi State College for Women, Birmingham-South-
ern College, the University of Alabama, the University of
Georgia and Florida State University will convene here this
week end. Twenty out-of-town delegates are expected.

The purpose of the meeting is '

to unite Mortar Board chapters
in this section and to encourage
more members to attend the na-
tional convention.

After registering from 4-6 p. m.,
guests will attend a banquet at
Mammy's Shanty. Mrs. Holcomb
T. Green, past national secretary
of Mortar Board and chairman of
this year's national convention,
will speak. Mrs. Green is an Ag-
nes Scott alumna.

A number of discussions will be
Saturday. In the morning a Geor-
gia delegate will lead a discussion
on "Individual Chapter Reports
and Projects." Carolyn McCurdy,
president of the University of
Mississippi chapter, will lead a
discussion on "Traditional Pro-
grams of Various Chapters in Our
Region."

There will be a coffee hour for
all convention members after
lunch. Then Doris Sullivan, sec-
tional director of Mortar Board
and past president of the HOASC
chapter, will lead a panel discus-
sion on the ideals of Mortar Board.

For the rest of the afternoon
out-of-town girls will be taken
sight-seeing in Atlanta.

The meeting concludes with a
weiner roast and square dance
at North Fulton* park for dele-
gates and the Emory chapter of
Omicron Delta Kappa, national
honorary leadership society for
men.

Five AS Students
Attend AIG Meet

Last Friday the Associated In-
dustries of Georgia met for their
annual conference at the Biltmore
Hotel. AIG invited | representa-
tives to the luncheon from all the
schools in this vicinity. Agnes
Scott was represented by Sybil
Corbett, LaWahna Rigdon, Keller
Henderson, Carol Jacob, and
Samuel P. Wiggins, professor of
education.

The speaker was David Rich-
berg, a prominent Washington at-
torney and a consultant in consti-
tutional law. His topic was "Bat-
tlelines of 1952." His theme was
based on individual self govern-
ment versus a strong national gov-
ernment. He was decided in his
denunciation of the Truman ad-
ministration. He is convinced
that the U. S. is headed toward
extreme socialism at home and is
fostering international war in the
U. N. Mr. Richberg is an out-
spoken advocate of isolationism.

Stukes Will Attend
Three-Day Meeting

S. Guerry Stukes, registrar and
dean of faculty, will attend a con-
ference of graduate schools and
colleges in New Orleans Thursday
through Saturday.

The toppc of discussion for the
conference is the training of col-
lege teachers. Mr. Stukes ex-
plained that this has been a lead-
ing issue in the field of education
for the past few years. Many ed-
ucators say that the doctor of
philosophy degree, which requires
a relatively narrow field of re-
search, is inadequate training for
a college teacher.

The New Orleans conference is
for southern educational institu-
tions. It will meet simultan-
eously with other conferences
throughout the nation. The con-
ference is primarily for graduate
schools but the college viewpoint
on what constitutes a good teach-
er is desired.

Piano Instructor
To Present Recital

Mrs. Irene Leftwich Harris,
part-time instructor in piano at
Agnes Scott, will give a piano re-
cital in Gaines auditorium at 8
p. m. Tuesday, November 20.

Mrs. Harris is a resident of De-
catur and has taught piano for
many years at Agnes Scott. She
has studied piano at Brenau Col-
lege and the Atlanta Conserva-
tory, under Hugh Hodgson, and
also in France.

In her recital Mrs. Harris will
include selections from Brahms,
Bach, Haydn, Franck, Strauss,
and Dohnanyi. She will play
"Prelude", "Menuet", "Gigue"
from "Partita" in B flat major by
Bach; "Andante con Variazoni" in
F minor by Haydn: "Intermezzo"
op. 117 no. 1 and "Intermezzo" op.
11 no. 2 by Brahms; "Chorale
Prelude and Fugue" by Franck;
"Serenade" by Strauss, arranged
by Gieseking; and "Rhapsody" op.
11 no. 3 by Dohnanyi.

Scout national headquarters,
Miss Dorothy Kirkpatrick

row. They would like to talk
with students majoring in so-
ciology or psychology, and
others interested in profes-
sional Girl Scout work. Stu-
dents who would like to have

N. S. A. Aids Students to Solve
Problems, Attain Local Goals

(Released from MADEMOISELLE Magazine)

College students everywhere will be interested in the ar-
ticle U NSA" in the November issue of, MADEMOISELLE
magazine. It tells the story of how the National Student
association (representing 650,000 students) is meeting the
problems and goals that every student shares from setting
up strong, democratic student

governments to working for bet-
ter international understanding.

For a little over four years
member schools have elected or
appointed delegates to the annual
ten-day Congress to talk out and
vote in National policies and elect
National officers. Regional repre-
sentatives meet between congres-
ses and make policy decisions. On
member campuses, an NSA chair-
man shuttles information from
the regional or National to cam-
pus groups, attends regional
meetings, directs some projects,
suggests others.

Though anxious to have a say
in how late they'll stay out at
night, whether or not they'll keep
cars on campus and what rules
should govern college extracurri-
cular groups, NSA-ers leave most
academic matters to their teach-
ers and to the administration.

The one big exception is faculty
evaluation. With help from the
NSA, students at a growing num-
ber of colleges and universities
are now grading their profs and
some campus NSA's have brought
in honor systems.

On a national scale, Mademoi-
selle sa'ys, NSA has begun to have
a say in academic and adminis-
tration matters. The U. S. Office
of Education and the State De-
partment consult their officers on
matters related to students. NSA
joined the American Council on
Education, has a representative on
all committees concerned with
student problems. Twice this year
NSA officers spoke at Council
meetings, told educators what
they thought about acceleration
and Universal Military Training.
Of all its activities, NSA's in-

Agnes Scott's Foster Orphan
Thanks Students for Presents

For a number of years Agnes Scott students have supported a young
Greek girl by sending money and gifts to her through the Foster
Parents plan. About 10 years old, Maria Daponti writes to us every
month, telling us something of the things she is doing. Reproduced
are translations of two letters written last spring and received dur-
ing the summer.

February 1951

Dear Foster Parents,

Hello. I am in good health and hope the same goes with you too.
May the Almighty keep you always well.

My dear granny died this month and I feel terribly sad. That is
why I was so late in writing you my monthly letter and thanking
you for the nice presents. May God grant you every happiness in
return.

I was ill lately and shall have to undergo an operation and have my
tonsils removed.
That is all for the moment, I guess.

With much love,
Maria Daponti

March 1951

Dear Foster Parents,

I greet you heartily. I hope you are in the best of health. As for me,
I am ill since the day my dear granny died. I don't attend school and
intend undergoing an operation and having my tonsils removed.

As I have already written you, my granny died last month. Her
death afflicted me deeply. I lost her tenderness and still can't believe,
that I shall not see her again. She was only 59, and I wish dear God
would let her live a little more, at least until I grew up. Now I have
nobody in whom to confide.

Please, send me a letter, dear foster parents. It will be a great
comfort to me.

With much love and respect,
Maria Daponti

Magazine Features
Dining Hall Article

The Letitia Pate Evans dining
hall has pictures and an article in
the November issue of "Institu-
tions Magazine". This magazine
is the sponsor of the Fifth Annual
Foods Service Contest in which
our dining hall under the supervi-
sion of Mrs. Ethel J. Hatfield, die-
tician, won a merit award.

The magazine shows pictures of
the modern equipment and facili-
ties of the kitchen, the exterior of
the building, a floor plan of the
building, and the main dining
area, and also has a detailed
write-up.

P. J. Rogers, Jr., business
manager, revealed that the cafe-
teria serves approximately 30,000
meals a month, averaging some
1200 meals a day. All this is done
with a permanent staff of 22 and
a part-time staff of 7.

One of the newest innovations
is the employees' dining room, lo-
cated in the back of the building.

Extra copies of the magazine
have been ordered and will be
available soon in the library.

Chizuko, Danielle Share Ideas
On Margaret Mitchell's State

By Pris Sheppard

Agnes Scott's Boyd cottage has a new name this year, for
those who^know call it International house. The campus'
two newest additions from across the oceans live there, shar-
ing their new experiences with Norma Wang, an old hand at
living in Georgia. Danielle Drey, a tall, dark 19-year-old
charmer from France, and Chizi*-

ko Yoshimura, a petite, vivacious
20-year-old good will ambassador
from Japan, are adapting them-
selves remarkably well to the
strange country.

The first time either of them
had heard of Georgia was last
year when, half a world apart,
both of them read "Gone with the
Wind." At that time neither im-
agined that she would ever be
studying in Margaret Mitchell's
state, though after arriving here,
Danielle said, she recognized the
"red qarth and colonial homes"
from the book's description. Be-
fore coming here neither had ever
been a boarding student; Chizuko
commuted daily the thirty miles
to Nagoya where she attended the
Golden Castle, the oldest Japan-
ese college for women, founded by
the Presbyterian church. Danielle
had studied at the university in
Lyons, not far from her home.

The war had a profound effect
on the lives of both girls; they
.spoke of their reactions to it as
?ypical of most of the youth of
their countries. Danielle and her
family fled to the French Alps in
the latter part of the war only to
find that the bombs followed them
there. When the French organiz-
ed the rebellion, she could see
from her home the American
planes dropping supplies by para-
chutes. In the postwar France,

Danielle commented that the
young people do not share the
same enthusiastic and idealist
dreams of liberty, equality and
peace which American youth pro-
claim. The French students, on
the contrary, have a "more sober
and disillusioned outlook" than
she had observed among Ameri-
cans.

'La Nueva Senorita'
Joins ASC Faculty

A native of Bennettsville, South
Carolina, Hester Matthews is the
new instructor in the Spanish de-
partment. The senorita received
her B.A. degree from Winthrop
college in Rock Hill, South Caro-
lina, and later studied at the Na-
tional University of Mexico and
in the Spanish school of Middle-
bury college in Vermont.

Miss Matthews came to Agnes
Scott from Sullins college in Bris-
tol, Virginia, where she had
taught for four years. Previously
she had worked two years in
Washington, D. C; she obtained
her M. A. degree at Duke Uni-
versity.

The senorita enjoys traveling,
having visited many historical
places in the United States and
Mexico. She is also interested in
history, and collects stamps as a
hobby. She is particularly inter-
ested in music, and has enjoyed
music programs offered by the
college and city here.

Cinderella, Prince Charming
To Whirl in Pink, Silver Setting

By Calico

Each freshman guest of Cotillion becomes a Cinderella on
the stroke of nine Saturday night.

Met by her Prince Charmv^g in Main hall, she will be
whisked away to whirl in a pink-and-silver setting until the
arrival of midnight.

It's the annual Cotillion club
dance, to be held in Rebekah Scott
hall, for those freshmen who did
not elect to attend the AA party.
In almost a re-enactment of Tech
and Emory rushing, old members
will attempt to convey the gaiety
of Cotillion membership to pros-
pective members. Dates selected
for the freshmen by members
should be a very convincing argu-
ment, indeed.

Candy-stick columns and a big
pink slipper are included in the
decoration plans. And the punch
also will be pink. Music by Ralph
Mayes and his orchestra, refresh-
ments for tired Cinderellas and
the pink and silver decorations
promise a dream-like evening.

Mif Martin is chairman of the
event. Louise Ross and Adaline
Miller 4 are in charge of refresh-
ments; Lil Kneeland .publicity;
Donna Dugger and Mary Lindsey,
dates; Frances Ginn, music; Jayne
Puckett, invitations, and Jane
Hook, decorations.

Amen Corner

New members of the freshman
BSU council are Sarah Mclntyre,
enlistment vice president; Lib
Flynn, social vice president; Geor-
gia Belle Christopher, devotional
vice president; Harriet Stovall,
secretary; Linda Smith, publicity
chairman; Sue Walker, day stu-
dent representative; Susanna May
Byrd, Baptist Training Union rep-
resentative; and Joan Pruitt, re-
porter.

The YWA of Druid Hills Bap-
tist church has invited the Agnes
Scott group to a dinner at which
Mrs. Florence Dunstan, associate
professor of Spanish and advisor
for the A^nes Scott BSU, will
show slides of Baptist youth work
in Brazil.

ternational programs have been
the most successful. It has a seat
on UNESCO's national commis-
sion. It sponsors with other organ-
izations the World Student Ser-
vice Fund, through which U. S.
students send books, clothing and
money to colleges aboard and to
the National Council of Place-
ment of DP students. Each year
NSA publishes a booklet listing
opportunities in foreign study,
work and travel, in one year sent
abroad over eight hundred stu-
dents through its own travel and
study groups at a cost of less than
seven hundred dollars apiece.

In spite of NSA's accomplish-
ments, its members are its own
severest critics. They are some-
times discouraged by poor leader-
ship on some campuses, apathy on
others. Observers, however, who
watch NSA'ers in action at their
own Congresses know they ac-
complish more than they think
they do, that they work with ma-
turity and judgment not often
matched by their elders. Men and
women from colleges of every size,
kind and purpose sit down togeth-
er for ten days to mull over aca-
demic freedom, how they can
help the students of Asia, wheth-
er or not to take a stand on Uni-
versal Military Training. They
debate among themselves, listen
critically to what their fellow del-
egates have to say, vote on poli-
cies and elect officers carefully
and with intelligence.

Through the Congress alone,
Mademoiselle says, through the
experience it gives students in
democratic leadership and action,
NSA performs a valuable and
successful function.

Sunday Will Include
Presbyterian Rally

Presbyterian students from the
greater Atlanta area will gather
in the Decatur Presbyterian
church on Sunday, November 18,
for their first city rally of the cur-
rent college year. The Decatur
church is giving over its facilities
and evening service for the use of
the Presbyterian students between
7:30 and 9:30 on the 18th.

The first hour of the program
will be a worship service with an
address by the Rev. J. Davison
Philips of Thomasville, Georgia,
on the theme "The Importance of
Christ on the Campus." Mr. Phil-
ips was formerly the assistant
pastor of Atlanta's First Presby-
terian church.

Assisting in leading the program
will be Smoky Bowers of Agnes
Scott and Huston Smith of the
Atlanta Division, University of
Georgia. Following the worship
service, there will be an hour of
recreation in the church's youth
building. During this time there
will be refreshments and group
singing which will be led by Lewis
Bunte, teacher of the college class
at Druid Hills Presbyterian
church.

The rally is one of a series
planned throughout the ' school
year by the Westminster Fellow-
ship council for Greater Atlanta.
This Council is made up of stu-
dents drawn from campuses and
college churches whose duty it is
to co-ordinate Presbyterian stu-
dent activities in the Greater At-
lanta area.

Presbyterian St u d e n t work
deals with students attending
Georgia Tech, Emory, Agnes
Scott, Oglethorpe, and the Atlan-
ta Division of the University of
Georgia.

Webster, Hays Define Dance
While AS Furnishes Examples

By VIRGINIA ( L AIRE II AYS

dance (dans) (OF. clancier, danser) 1. To perform, either alone or
with others, a rhythmic and patterned succession of movements,
commonly to music. 2. Big dance to perform, either alone or with
others, a rhythmic and patterned succession of movements, commonly
to music, and to wear dress-up clothes, dating someone bovine, and
dancing to heavenly music, commonly with a very large crowd. 3. Lit-
tle dance to perform , either alone or with others, a rhythmic and
patterned succession of movements, commonly to music, and not to
wear dress-up clothes, dating someone devine, commonly with a small
crowd.

Examples: Big dance . . . The Sigma Chi Formal at Georgia Tech at
which Margie Thomason, Virginia Lee Floyd, and Lib McPheeters
were candidates for sweetheart. Helen Land, Betsy Hill, Lil Knee-
land, Mabel Milton, Harriette Potts, and Lou Wommack danced at
Peach tree Gardens with the male sweethearts. The SAJE formal at
Georgia Tech which was at the Rainbow Roof atop the Ansley hotel.
Mary Lindsey, Mary Newell Rainey, Nancy Whetstone, Joan Simmons,
and Lavenia Clarke loved the music at this big dance! The Naval ROTC
Ball at Georgia Tech which was attended by Carolyn Tinklepaugh,
Cissy Shor, Jane Sutlive, Ann Turnipseed, Allena Doggett, -Carol Mil-
ler, and Jo Anne McCarthy.

Little dance . . . The Chi Phi house dance at Georgia Tech, which
was very quiet and reserved, was host to Adaline Miller, Ann Evans,
Jean McKay, and Caroline Lester. The KA house dance at Georgia
Tech proved true to its definition from all reports received by Anne
Potts, Mary Ann Wyatt, Patty Morgan, and Helen Fokes.

Not to change the subject, but after all I am no Noah Webster
now really, surely you knew! But as I was saying, dancing in the dark
this weekend were Carol Solomon who accepted a Sigma Chi pin;
Martha Fortson, who has a Sigma Nu pin; Betty MeClellan, who had
her Al here, and I know its vain, but my name never gets in the news,
so I would like to say that I am not only dancing, but I am sitting on
a pile of pink clouds because Bill called me all the way from Oklahoma.

Ed. note: Definition 1. is Webster's; definitions 2. and 3. belong to
our own V. C.'s "Hays' Handbook of Commonly Used Terms."

Sophomores Win Swim Meet;
Juniors Excel in Comedy

On Wednesday night the 7th of November, the sophomores
won the swimming meet with a total of 50 points. The seniors
were second with 39; the juniors third with 37; and the fresh-
men had 22. Mrs. Stratton Story, instructor in physical edu-
cation; Eloise Eubanks, school swimming manager, and the
class managers, Frances Mar-
bury, freshman; Florrie Fleming,
sophomore; Keller Henderson, ju-
nior; Margaretta Lumpkin, senior,
planned this meet.

The first event was the medley
relay with the back, breast, and
front strokes. The senior team
composed of Barbara Brown, Sal-
ly Veale, and Catherine Redles
won the sixty-yard race in 44.5
seconds. The second event, the
breast stroke for form, went to
sophomores Nancy Lee and Eloise
Eubanks. Next, Mary Link, soph-
omore, won the forty yard free
style in 23 seconds. Juniors Keller
Henderson and Margie Thomason
won the front crawl for form. The
lights of the (pool were then cut
off and Eloise Eubanks, with
small lights attched to her wrists
and ankles, did a ballet number.

The next event, the free style
relay, went to the sophomore
team of Florrie Fleming, Sue
Born, Pat Patterson, and Mary
Link. They did this eighty-yard
even in 54 seconds. Then the
sophomores, represented by Jo-
anne Massee and Eloise Eubanks,
won the back crawl for form. At
this point there was a comic relay.
The number one girl for each
class had to swim the length of
the pool on her back, reading
aloud the funny paper she held in
her hands. The next girl blew up
a paper bag and popped it before
plunging in. The third girl had to
put on a gym suit before hitting
the water; and the last girl, to
put her class out in front, swam
the length of the pool balancing a
ping pong ball on a spoon which
she held between her teeth. The
juniors won with Ann Baxter, Lil-
la Kate Parramore, Barbara
West, and Donna Dugger.

Catherine Redles won the next
event, diving. And last of all,
Mary Link, sophomore, won the
individual medley, a sixty-yard
race, in 33.4 seconds.

by bombs during the war, and
she, too, has ari understanding of
war's meaning. "Since the war,"
she said, "the tendency is to Am-
ericanize everything." Chizuko
likes democracy "much, much
more than militarism," but she
declared that traditional thinking
in her country is still strong and
the innovations are difficult to
grasp quickly. She noted that
during the war the emperor was
greatly praised, but the Japanese
since the end of the war are
learning to admire him genuinely
and respect him "as a human be-
ing" infinitely more.

Danielle and Chizuko noted a
number of differences between
their countries and the U. S. "In
France," the former confided,
"the young girls do not wear the
diamonds or the veiled hats you
wear here; our clothes are much
simpler." She added that she
thought American girls much
prettier than French.

Chizuko was somewhat surpris-
ed to find that most students ex-
pected the Japanese to be wearing
still the traditional kimonos.
American styles, like baseball, are
the- universal favorites in Japan,
she remarked, and "even on spe-
cial occasions the Japanese prefer
to wear American clothes."

Both girls declared that Ameri-
can movies are very popular in
their countries, and Chizuko, after
admitting that she saw "A Por-
trait of Jenny" five times, smil-
ingly chose Jennifer Jones and
Joseph Cotten as her favorite
stars. Danielle prefers Bette
Davis and Bing Crosby.

Both are enthusiastic about Ag-
nes Scott. Danielle had been of-
fered a position as French assist-
ant in an English high school for
this year, "but," she said, "of
course, I chose to come here in-
stead!" She is studying to be an
English teacher, and her courses

Undefeated Juniors
Down Sophs 7-0

The juniors Gowned the sopho-
mores 1-0 Friday to claim the un-
defeated title in the current hock-
ey season.

In the senior-sophomore game
Winnie Strozier led the seniors to
a 3-0 victory.

Playing most of the game at the
sophomore end of the field, the
juniors missed several chances to
score during the first half. In the
second half the sophomore team
rallied and carried the action
down into the juniors' own terri-
tory. Mary Beth Robinson of the
junior team made the only goal in
the game.

Spectators described the first
half of the freshmen-senior game
as "sluggish". Julia Beeman and
Carolyn Wells were outstanding
on the freshman team. In the last
play of the half Carolyn was in-
jured.

The second half was full of spir-
ited action. Ann Herman and
Winnie Strozier made goals for
the seniors. Senior speed and
playing ability effected the final
3-0 score.

This week the juniors 'and the
seniors meet. Both teams have
shown power in the season thus
far. This promises to be an ex-
citing game.

Freshman improvement and
pep should be a warning to the
sophomores about "over-confi-
dence" before their game this
week.

She is still undecided about her
future work, but here she is es-
pecially interested in Bible and

Humbly, We Give Our Thanks

Because we are Americans we
celebrate Thanksgiving, and we
have a special Thanksgiving be-
cause we are Americans.

The month of November is one
of Thanksgiving, dedicated to giv-
ing thanks for our many blessings.
In this month, Thanksgiving Day
was set aside many generations
ago by a grateful people, who,
pioneering in a new world, stop-
ped to give thanks to God for
the rich blessings of a new land,
a full harvest, a bountiful earth,
a kindly climate,' the promise of

an abundant life. Through the
years this promise has been ful-
filled many times over, in more
than the material things of life,
for our forefathers gave thanks
not only for the blessings of na-
ture and a fortunate geography,
but for the ideals of the spirit that
flourished in this new land. These
ideals, founded on faith in God
and one's fellowman, are the fab-
ric of freedom from which our
way of life has been made.

On Sunday, we shall go to
church. Whether to a cathedral

in the heart of the city, or a lit-
tle, white-steepled church in a
country village, it will be in the
church of our own choosing. In
it we shall take for granted our
right to worship God in our own
way. As we sit in that church
let us take a moment to meditate,
fully, deeply, reverently, on what
we mean when we say, "We are
Americans. This is the season of
Thanksgiving."

May we give thanks for our
kinship to the rest of the world,
for the knowledge and culture

they have shared with us. We es-
pecially give thanks for the faith
and fellowship we have shared
with the people of other lands.
They have given us their friend-
ship, enriched our lives with lov-
ing service in the fellowship of
humanity. For their faith, their
vision and steadfastness, we give
thanks. We count as our rich
blessing the realization that we
belong to a family wherein all
men are brothers and children of
God.

We are Americans. This is the
season of Thanksgiving. Let us
remember this as we give our
thanks, and let us remember also
that life is a two-way street. We
receive as we give. Let us as-
sume our obligation as members
of one family, builders alike, each
according to his own talents, re-
sources and fortune, of one world
under one God. This is the season
of Thanksgiving. Humbly, we give
our thanks. Released from the
Public Information department,

Twelve Seniors to Present
Work at Honors Meeting

At 5 p. m. on Wednesday, Nov. 28, all honors students, fac-
ulty members directing honors work, members of the com-
mittee, Dr. Wallace M. Alston, president, Dr. James R. Mc-
Cain, president emeritus, and Mrs. Edna Byers, librarian,
will meet at the Alumnae house. Mr. Posey, chairman of
the Honors committee, will open

try; Muriel Harn, professor of
German and Spanish, and Ellen
D. Leyburn, associate professor
of English. There are 11 profes-
sors directing the honors study.

the meeting with a brief explana-
tion of the plan of the honors
work and -the purpose of the
meeting. Then each of the stu-
dents will give an outline of her
chief field of interest and progress
on her paper. Some questions will
be asked about several of the pro-
jects.

Following the student reports,
the group will adjourn to the din-
ing room where Muriel Harn, pro-
fessor of German and Spanish,
will deliver the address of the ev-
ening.

The object of the honors pro-
gram is to enable students who
have already demonstrated unu-
usual ability in academic work to
achieve , intellectual values not
possible in the routine plan of
courses. The actual content of
the honors work may differ with
each student. Seniors are quali-
fied on the basis of their general
college records. The program in-
volves concentrated study in the
major field and culminates in a
thesis and in oral and written ex-
aminations. The students who
read for honors should benefit
from a program, which, by a dis-
tinctive method of study, permits
them to develop their individual
interests and abilities and to in-
crease their knowledge and com-
prehension of their major and re-
V?ted fields.

Those reading for honors this
year are: Anita Taylor Coyne,
classics; Caroline Jo Crea, Eng-
lish; Annie Theresa Dokos, psy-
chology; Claire Elizabeth Eaton,

Money for Daponti Adoption
To Top List in WSSF Drive

By Barbara West

The campaign to raise money for the World Student Serv-
ice Fund is to be November 27-30. The first part of the funds
will be used to support our adopted Greek child, Maria Da-
ponti. The remainder of the funds will be used to extend
medical aid to students in Pakistan and India by buying
medicines and medical equipment-

1 ing the medical college at Assam,
and contributing to the support of
refugee students in Karachi, Sind,
Punjab, Khyber, and Dacca.

When the World Student Serv-
ice Fund was first founded, the
founders were more interested in
the exchange of ideas and know-
ledge than material aid. The ideal
was to have all the colleges and
universities of the world equal
or nearly equal in standards of
education and physical equipment.
Only since World War II has
great emphasis been placed on the
material aid which colleges and
universities extend to destitute
students and universities all over
the world. Funds collected
through campus campaigns are
alloted to the following agencies
for distribution: displaced persons
in the United States (students);
educational program; Southeast
Asia; Europe; emergency needs,
CARE book campaign to replace
destroyed libraries; and miscel-
laneous needs.

In a WSSF news release the
program needs in Pakistan are
outlined. "Dr. Humaira Sayeed,

University, and secretary of the

Chapel Service to Honor
Memory of AS Professor

At the suggestion of Mor-
tar Board, there is to be a
brief chapel service in Mem-
ory of Miss Louise Hale, as-
sociate professor of French
at Agnes Scott for ma^y
years, who died in June of
this year. The service is to be
held during chapel on Fri-
day, Nov. 30. The example
that she set for us on this
campus was s o m e t hing
unique, and such a service
should mean much to the stu-
dents and the faculty, both to
those who knew her and those
who did not have the privi-
lege of knowing her.

We can think of no great-
er tribute we as students can
pay her than an attempt on
our part to continue her ex-
ample on this campus as best
We can through our individual
lives. This will be a simple
service, with hymns of tri-
umph, designed to instill
into our lives the things for
which Miss Hale stood and
to express our gratitude for
the privilege of having had
such a person in our midst.

First Piano Quartet to Appear

lude in C Sharp Minor," Saint-
Saens' "Danse Macabre," and

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, Nov. 21, 1951

Coverage Problem

We all have our little problems. Our problem at present
in the News room is coverage of clubs, faculty, and general
news not cleared through the administration. In the past
we have divided the clubs into groups and assigned these
groups to reporters each week. This method is reasonably
efficient, but reporters find it difficult to contact all clubs,
and our staff is too small to assign a certain or different re-
porter to this task each week.

We feel that each club and each department of the school
should be interested in promoting its own publicity, and
should take the responsibility of notifying the News of its
activities. Any notice placed in local mail for the News be-
fore Friday afternoon will be in time for publication in the
following Wednesday's paper. If no such notices are sent, we
feel that clubs have no right to complain, and that it -is not
our duty to search for news which is not of general campus
interest.

Departmental news is really an even greater problem, be-
cause most faculty members are so reluctant to divulge in-
formation about meetings and activities in which they and
the other members of the department participate. Perhaps
this is due to modesty, or fear that students are not interested
in what the faculty is doing. At any rate, we would appreci-
ate notices from the departments, because students ARE in-
terested in faculty members and their activities. If there is
u big news," then we ask only for a notice to the editor asking
for a reporter's coverage.

The same statements apply to news which any student
thinks would be of interest, but which would not come to the
attention of members of the News staff, because it is not on
the campus calendar. Normally enough, we are not mind
readers, nor does any handwriting appear on the badly plas-
tered wall of the room assigned to us on the top floor of
Murphey Candler. Any assistance from students in the way
of notices, telegrams and such will be gladly received. And
letters to the editor, which seem to be going out of existence
entirely, would probably produce tears of joy from our col-
lective eyes.

With your help, maybe OUR little problems will be "all
gone" next week. Then we will help you with yours if
you will tell us about them. A. B.

'Nebulous Causes'

After lengthy discussion the junior class decided Monday
to donate all Junior Joint proceeds to the World Student
Service fund.

Other ideas considered were to finance a foreign student at
Agnes Scott next year and to divide the money equally be-
tween these two projects.

The opposition to the WSSF idea said it was too vague, too
impersonal to arouse much enthusiasm here. Belle Miller,
chairman of the campus WSSF drive, summed this up in the
term "nebulous causes." But she explained what WSSF did.

Each month 5,000 European students appeal for aid to at-
tend school.

Whenever an earthquake or similar disaster occurs WSSF
immediately rushes funds for relief until recovery can be
effected.

For the amount it would cost for one foreign student at
Agnes Scott, five or six could go to school in their own
country.

We are rather selfish about "nebulous causes." We want
something to show for our money, to make us feel that we
are getting somewhere.

In reality we need a knowledge of the facts, in this case
about WSSF, and merely the slightest bit of faith in a cause
that promises good for humanity. These things have made
possible great organizations like the Red Cross, the March
of Dimes, and the Red Feather campaign.

We commend the junior class on their decision. B. H.

Skinner to Bring
'Characters 7 Skit
To ASC Campus

Cornelia Otis Skinner appears
on the Agnes Scott campus for
the first time In three ' years on
Tuesday, Nov. 26, under the spon-
sorship of the Decatur Junior
Service league. Her program will
be in Presser hall at 8:30 p. m.

Miss Skinner has written a
number of books, the best known
of which is "Our Hearts Were
Young and Gay," which was made
into a movie several years ago.
Another of her most popular
books is "Family Circle," a biog-
raphy of life with her father and
mother. Just recently four of her
smaller works were combined in
one volume entitled "That's Me
All Over."

Writing books is not the only
occupation of Miss Skinner. She
has appeared on many radio and
television shows and has had her
own programs at various times.
She has appeared on the Broad-
way stage and played in a movie,
"The Uninvited," produced by
Paramount.

Most people remember Miss
Skinner for her "Character
Sketches" of famous persons,
both living and dead. Some of
these sketches are to be the pro-
gram here. Miss Skinner trans-
forms herself from one character
to another by a change of facial
expression, shawl, or even the
lifting of an eyebrow. One of the
most remarkable of her abilities
is to adapt her program to the
audience present at each perform-
ance. Because she does endeavor
to suit herself to each audience,
no advance program is ever sent.

Tickets for the performance are
selling rapidly. Students desiring
to attend should call Mrs. John E.
Beck at DE. 8355 for reserva-
tions. Tickets must be claimed by
8:15 that night to be valid.

Inaugural Address Reveals
Todays Need for Strong UN

By Donna Dugger

In his inaugural address of 1948, President Harry S. Truman
presented to the American public a plan for building a bet-
ter world which consisted of four definite points: strengthen-
ing the United Nations, building political democracy, expand-
ing international trade, and raising standards of living.

These he termed his Four Point

Program for peace. Each of us
recognizes the ultimate impor-
tance of these steps and each of
us should be aware of what Amer-
ica is and has been doing in car-
rying out these four points since
President Truman's inaugural
address.

During United Nations Week
on the Agnes Scott campus, we
learned a great deal about the
UN what it is, what it does, and
now it works. We recognize it as
a sound attempt for establishing
lasting world peace. We know
that through such an organiza-
tion, functioning properly, our
Christian ideals and beliefs may
become realities.

Steps for establishing strong po-
litical democracy are indeed te-
dious ones in this fast-moving,
propagandized world of ours.
Amid our struggle for establish-
ing democratic supremacy, we
are constantly faced with oppos-
ing tyrannical forces commun-
ism, socialism. Indeed, we are
faced with fighting for gaining
our democratic freedom; but, af-
ter all, America is a fighting na-
tion.

Point three of the four point
program may be easily presented
in correlation with the last point,
for in raising the standards of
living of other nations, we are
constantly expanding our trade
with them. As America aids na-
tions devastated by war, the pro-
duction of exportable goods is in-
creased, these goods are sold

Alston Presents Explanations
Of Christian Prayer Problems

By B. J. Sharpe

"God is the medium through which we may affect other
lives," stated Dr. Wallace Alston, president, in his philosophy
discussion with the seniors Thursday. "But," he said, "the
problem of prayer often makes this communion and com-
munication with God difficult."

Some of the problems of prayer

are a lack of realization of need
of prayer, talking to someone in-
visible, the answer to our prayers,
things we should pray for, re-
sponse, and a time to pray. Dr.
Alston limited his discussion along
lines of these problems to Chris-
tian prayer, with an emphasis on
theology. He said that most of
our problems of prayer arise
from an "I-Thou" relationship
with God.

In beginning his explanation of
unanswered prayer, Dr. Alston
mentioned the fact that it is not
peculiar to the modern world,
quoting the passage when Job
cried out "God, where are you?"
The first reason for unanswered
prayer is that we don't meet con-
ditions of prayer life, or that we
don't have an awareness of God.
We don't have the right relation
with people, and we don't realize
that causes and effects are related
in prayer.

The second reason for unan-
swered prayer is that we try to
make prayer do things it was nev-
er intended to do. Too often we
use it to supplement for hard
work, or as a substitute for rigor-
orous thinking. In quoting Phil-
lips Brooks, he said, "God's mercy

seat is no mere stall to catch a
passerby."

"Frequently we don't know an
answer to prayer when we see it.
Sometimes God may just plain say
no, or He may answer our prayer
in a different way. Often He gives
us a chance to work things out for
ourselves. Above all, we should
remember that God's greatest
gift is Himself." This was the
third point in explaining unan-
swered prayer.

In talking about the fact that
God uses us to work out his will,
he said that the human family is
more inter-related than the gang-
lia of the nervous system or the
roots in a strawberry patch. He
also pointed out that there are
four kinds of prayer: communion,
thanksgiving, intercession, and
petition; and that through these
we may become near not only to
God, but also to each other.

The discussion was concluded
with the fourth reason for unan-
swered prayer, which was the doc-
trine of the indwelling God.

The next and final philosophy
discussion will be on November
29, and the topic will be "Im-
mortality." All seniors are urged
to come.

Seen Through a Hays

Cotillion Brings Cinderellas
To Fabulous Palace Rebekah

By VIRGINIA CLAIRE HAYS

Saturday night, our driveway was lined with pumpkins great or-
range pumpkins that were turned into BuicJks, Fords, Dodges, and T-
models. In the great ballroom of the Palace Rebekah, the Royal Order
of the Veiled Dancing Dolls were having their annual ball for all
new princesses. The hateful stepmothers had all turned into laugh-
ing, gay chaperones. Straight hair curled, limp dresses stiffened, tired
eyes sparkled as each Cinderella waltzed around the spacious and
lovely ballroom.

The ballroom looked its loveliest the silver stars of heaven shone
through, marble columns were tinted an ice cream pink just for
the occasion, and the attention of all was focused on a beautiful glass
slipper. Pink champagne and individual iced cakes were served to the
members of the royal party. Duke Ralph Mayes and his troubadors
furnished the music for the young princesses and their Prince Charm-
ings.

Chief princess for the evening was Miss Mif Martin, who expertly
planned the ball. She was seen waltzing with the lovely nosegay
presented to her by the Dancing Dolls. Miss Donna Dugger, who al-
most took the place of the queen because of her grand job of finding
28 Prince Charmings for the new princesses, was a picture of grandeur
in her white faille. Miss Carolyn Randolph was equally striking in
her ball dress of white taffeta.

All the young princesses were very fascinated by their Prince
Charmings and very anxious that the midnight hour would not come
so soon. The Prince Charmings had come from near and far to at-
tend this annual ball. The courts of King Emory and King Ga. Tech
were well represented. Misses Carolyn Crawford, Mary Ann Mc-
Pherson, and Patty Hamilton were only a few whose breath was taken
at the sight of the beautiful palace. Misses Nan Arwood and Suzanna
Byrd were entranced by the music. Seen trying on the glass slipper
during intermission were Misses Jo Ann Hall and Joan Pruitt.

As the final minutes slipped away all the Cinderellas sighed with
delight over the entire evening. Though they were unaware of it,
they displayed signs indicating they were quite ready to return to
the Land of Nod.

work in her country. Approxi-
mately 7000 students are studying
at Dacca and because of the lack
of accommodation and the poor
food situation, the chief problems
are in the field of student health.
Many students are living like no-
mads or building bamboo huts on
the roads or in the private
ground. 'Under these conditions,'
said Dr. Sayeed, 'it will be appar-
ent why we are most urgently
concerned about the deterioration
of student health and morale. It
is for these reasons that our first
priorities in East Pakistan are
for scholarship assistance to
needy and refugee students and
for medical supplies and equip-
ment'."

The World Student Service
Fund is in process of becoming
the World University Service. It
is heart-warming to read that
German universities and some in
India and Pak&tan are trying; to
send some of their funds to other
parts of the world. These students
are interested in helping those in
greater need than they are; cer-
tainly students in more fortunate
areas can do no less.

Juniors Remain Undefeated;
Freshmen, Sophomores Tie

By Adaline Miller

Last Friday afternoon on the hockey field the juniors re-
tained their championship title by beating the seniors 3-1.
It was a thriller from start to finish. Fairly early in the game
Mary Ann Wyatt and Frances Cook scored goals for the ju-
niors. For the remainder of the half the seniors, led by Win-
nie Strozier, fought their way

down the field toward the junior
goal. They were rewarded for
their efforts when Winnie hit a
long drive past junior goalie,
Anne Thomson.

The second half of the game
showed the brilliant defense that
the juniors have built up. The
seniors kept the ball almost on
the junior goal line, but the ju-
nior defensive team refused to
give another goal to the challeng-
ing seniors. Outstanding on the
defensive team were Anne
Thomson and Virginia Claire
Hays. The juniors managed to
make one more goal, winning the
game with a margin of two points.

The second game held more In-
terest in that the freshmen did
not lose for the first time, but
tied the sophomores. The fresh-
men team exhibited beautiful
teamwork. The forward line drib-
bled the ball downfield, remem-
bering to fake passes and scoop
the ball around the opponents'
sticks. The entire team showed
perfect coordination.

Lib Wilson dribbled the ball
some 50 yards down the field and
with a hard stroke sent it
into the sophomore goal, making
the first goal for the freshmen.
The second half of the game was
played down at the freshman end
of the field. Nancy Lee made the
only goal for the sophomores. The
final score was 1-1.

Sophs Begin Compiling
Annual Student Directory

The sophomores have be-
gun to compile the student
directory. Liz Craig will
serve as editor and chairman
of the compiling, typing, and
proofreading c o m m i 1 1 ees.
Jane Zuber is circulation
manager, and will be chair-
man of the committee in
charge of questionnaires and
subscriptions. Louise Hill is
business manager in charge of
the printing and soliciting
ads.

Each student and faculty
member will be asked to sign
for her directory on posted
lists. The committee hopes
to have the directories avail-
able the week before exams.

minerals which advanced coun-
tries need can be increasingly
supplied by the undeveloped coun-
tries to their mutual aid. By ad-
vancing the economic well-being
of the underdeveloped areas, the
democratic way of life will gain
in world-wide support, the value
of international cooperation
through the United Nations will
be signally demonstrated, and hu-
man freedom, prosperity, and
world peace further advanced. As
President Truman concluded his
speech :

"For the first time in history,
humanity possesses the know-
ledge and the skill to relieve suf-
fering. The United States should
make available to peace-loving
peoples the benefits of our store
of technical knowledge in order
to help them realize their aspira-
tions for a better life. And, in
cooperation with other nations,
she should foster capital invest-
ment in areas needing develop-
ment.

All countries, including our own,
will greatly benefit from a con-
structive program for the better
use of the world's human and nat-
ural resources. Experience shows
that our commerce with other
countries expands as they pro-
gress industrially and economical-
ly. Only by helping the least
fortunate of its members to help
themselves can the human fam-
ily achieve the decent, satisfying
life that is the right of all people."

A Christmas Editorial

Maybe you think Christmas is too commercialized these
days. We think so, too. Maybe you think Thanksgiving it a lit-
tle too early to start all the ballyhoo about it, and that "60
shopping days until Christmas" is more than you can even
remember. By the time Christmas is here you wonder if it
shouldn't already be over. Maybe we do, too.

But now it's December, and time to think of Christmas as
what it really is, not what it has been in the advertisements.
Christmas is a season of beauty. Filled with love for family,
friends, and even enemies, Christmas radiates an aura of
peace when there is no peace, except in the hopes and hearts
of men. Christmas gives to us, and we give to Christmas.
Christmas is joy, when we need and search for joy.

Although these reflect beauty, they remain only the shell
of Christmas. Within the shell is Christ Jesus, Prince of
our peace, height of our love, reason for our joy. He is not
a part of Christmas; He is Christmas. Without Him there
would be no Christmas, and should be none. How then can
we forget him? The shell has become so bright, so gleaming,
that the pearl within is forgotten. Let us, who love and wor-
ship this Lord, remember the, Babe of Bethlehem. For Christ-
mas is especially His, as we are His. A. B.

Save Your Life

Accidents on the highways of the United States are in-
creasing. Usually a driver of one of the cars is at fault. As we
at Agnes Scott return to our homes for the Christmas holi-
days, a healthy respect for safety should be our watchword.

Many of us will return to our homes by car; still more of
us will travel by bus and train. No matter how we go, we
must travel in some vehicle of transportation. If you are
driving, use the correct signals to indicate stops and turns;
have your car checked carefully to see that it is in perfect
condition for driving; above all, drive at a safe speed and
do not take chances. The life you save may be your own.

While at home, walking the hometown streets, use your
head. Look both ways before crossing the street; cross only
at pedestrian cross-walks and with the light; do not dart
across the street from behind a parked car. The life you
save will be your own.

Christmas is a happy season. In order to make our Christ-
mas happy, and that of our families, practice the rules of
safety every day, every way. Remember: the life you save
may be your own. B. W.

Marion Adds Her Letter
To Santa's Bag of Cheer

Dear Santa,

I hope you are well, sir, and have had a happy year since the last
time you were down in Georgia. Please tell Mrs. Claus and the an-
imals hello for me. Blixen looked a little peaked last year, but I
suppose it was just the strain of the season on the poor dear. (Scuze
the pun.)

All of your little friends at ASC are pretty busy now, Santa. We're
getting ready for Christmas ourselves, and versions of term papers
are dancing in our heads. These poor chullen are trying to think of
next week's exam, today's quiz, last week's date, a Christmas present
list, the dry cleaning, getting the trunk from Mrs. Smith, and lots of
other things all at once, Santa, so don't be disappointed if you don't
hear from all of them. Some of us have been behind on our letters
to you for some time now, and we hope you understand. It just
seems to be hard to find time to sit down and really write you like
we used to do. But don't think we've forgotten, 'cause we haven't,
and we're still depending on you.

Some of us have been worrying, Santa, for .fear that this younger
generation is a little too fast for you. They have been brought up on
radar and atoms and jet power, and reindeer and chimneys are sort of
out of their line, but don't let it bother you, because underneath all
this Hoppalong Cassidy business and other foolishness, they're just
as old fashioned as us automobile and airplane old timers. Every once
in a while, just like back in our time, somebody starts that old rumor
about your not being real, but nobody takes it any more seriously
than they did when we were coming along. It's amazing the things
you'll believe when you're young. Imagine, no Santa Claus!

Guess you're pretty busy about now. Seems like more kids all the
time and then, this has got to be a bang up Christmas, 'cause the year
has been kinda po'ly, like Blixen. But, goodness, we've sure got lots
to have the Christmas spirit about and Santa, we've got it!

Virginia Claire said she wrote you all about what we need, so I
won't bothpr you again, but just slip us all a little mistletoe, and we
sure hope you'll get what you want, 'cause we're mighty glad that
you're still around. Merry Christmas, sir!

Love,

Marion

God let me be aware.

Let me not stumble blindly down

the ways,
Just getting somehow safely

through the days,
Not even groping for another

hand,

Not even wondering why it all
was planned,

Eyes to the ground unseeking for
the light,

Souls never aching for a wild-
winged flight,

Please, keep me eager just to do
my share.

God let me be aware.

God let me be aware.
Stab my soul fiercely with other's
pain,

Let me walk seeing horror and
strain.

Let my hands, groping, find other
hands.

Give me the heart that divines,

understands.
Give me the courage, wounded to

fight.

Flood me with knowledge, drench

me in light.
Please keep me eager just to do

my share.
God let me be aware.

A Student Petition

A move is underfoot on the part of the students to present
a petition for the reinstatement of the double-major system
which was abolished two years ago.

The reasons for this petition are valid, and the adminis-
tration should be stimulated to reconsider the matter. Accord-
ing to those students who interviewed the faculty, most of
the professors seem to be in favor of double majors for a va-
riety of reasons. The language teachers encourage inter-
relation of courses. One psychology professor argued that
future teachers in that department need to have a thorough
knowledge of a subject to teach. Other professors are in fa-
vor of broadening students' perspective with courses in oth-
er departments. The students questioned were almost uni-
versally in favor of the double-major system.

Contrary to some opinion, it is not necessarily true that
double majors will acquire a shallow knowledge of both
major subjects and a deep understanding of neither. It is
not an easy accomplishment to complete the number of hours
work necessary for a majorat Agnes Scott without doing a
creditable amount of hard study.

Reinstatement of the double major system will not, in most
cases, influence many students to change the courses which
they intend to select. In far more cases, the reinstatement
would mean that students who do extensive work in two de-
partments would get credit for it. P. S.

Artists Create Own Designs
For Unusual Christmas Cards

By Barbara Grace and Lillian Ritchie

Being creative individuals, artists are ndt satisfied with
manufactured items. They aren't content to flip through
the pages of a catalogue filled with commercial cards and
pick their own "personal" cards with name imprinted. In-
stead they create their own designs.

On the third floor Buttrick hall

Dean's Office to Sponsor
Exam Teas in Afternoons

There will be teas during
exam week as usual this year.
All students and faculty mem-
bers are invited to the exam
teas, which will be in Mur-
phey Candler from 3:30-5
p. m. Monday, Dec. 10 through
Friday, December 14.

you can see a display of these
unique cards. Several mediums
are represented: etchings, pen
and ink drawings, wood cuts, and
even reproductions of oil paint-
ings. Styles range from realism to
abstraction. Among the etchings
is a lovely study of Chartres Ca-
thedral, minutely detailed. A sim-
ple drawing of the Madonna and
the Magi serves as the decor of
another card. The artist captures
the spirit of Christmas in pen and
ink with a Santa Claus costume
draped over an old rocking chair.
Wood cuts and linoleum blocks
lend themselves to bold abstract
patterns as can he seen in two
cards depicting abstract Madon-
nas. There are also designs with
geometrical figures, triangles and
circles.

Whereas people send Christmas
cards with photographs of their
children in a holiday setting, art-
ists often send cards illustrated
by their children. There are two
charming examples by these young
artists on display.

Also by young artists and ev-
ery bit as charming are the lin-
oleum block cards made by the
art students. Striking in their
simplicity and bright color, these
cards reflect the cheer and
warmth of the season.

You say you have no time to
make your own cards? Well, you
can buy with designs by well-
known artists at almost any store.
These cards are distributed
through the American Artists
Group, N. Y. and Associate Amer-
ican artists. They cost no more
and often less, than regular com-
mercial cards.

After viewing all these fine
works, the creative urge has
arisen within us and we're both
doodling designs for linoleum
blocks. See how inspiring this new
way of looking at Christmas can
be?

Jane Hart Wins Recognition
In Creative Writing Contests

By Betsy Hodges

Jane Hart, '52, of Atlanta, has embarked upon a promising
literary career.

In June she received first prize in the short story division
of the Georgia Writers' Association .contest. Her story, "The
Hill," won $50.

During her college career, Jane
has received other distinctions for

Yuletide Pilgrimage to Fulfill
Life Dream of A S Professor

By Barbara West

Tomorrow, Dec. 6, 1951, the Retf. Paul Leslie Garber, pro-
fessor of Bible at Agnes Scott, leaves on a Christmas pil-
grimage to the Holy Land. He will return to this country
on January 11, 1952. While on the trip, Mr. Garber will visit
Italy, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Trans-Jordan, Israel, Greece,
Switzerland, France, and England.
Christmas week will be spent in
the Holy Land, in and around
Jerusalem.

A life-long dream is being ful-
filled for Mr. Garber as he pre-
pares to visit these foreign lands.
After reading and studying for
many years about the land and
peoples of the Near East, Mr.
Garber is now going to see at
first-hand the evidences of the
old and new in many countries.
Teaching the Bible to students
will be a more challenging task
as he endeavors to convey to them
the scenes of Biblical times as he
saw them.

The American Express company
has arranged tours and lodging
for Mr. Garber. He will sight -
see in Rome and the Vatican,
Cairo, Beirut, Damascus, Jerusa-
lem (both Old and New, he
hopes), Haifa, the region of Gal-
lilee, Tel-Aviv, Athens, Corinth,
Zurich, Geneva, Paris, and Lon-
don. While in Galilee Mr. Garber
will visit in the home of Faud Far-
ak, a Christian Arab student at
Georgia Tech whose family lives
in Nazareth.

While he is in the Holy Land,
Mr. Garber will make his head-
quarters at the American School
of Oriental Research in Jerusa-

Juniors Complete Plans
For Annual Junior Joint

Junior Joint will be on Sat-
urday, Jan. 26. Keller Hen-
derson and Charlene Tritton
are joint chairmen. At the
last junior class meeting, it
was decided that with the ap-
proval of the other classes
the judging of the winners of
the contest for queen will be
on a percentage basis, rather
than the total amount of
money collected by each class.
The juniors also suggested
that the money be earned by
the classes rather than don-
ated by the parents.

lem. Mr. Garber worked closely
with this group while doing his
research for the building of Sol-
omon's Temple. Many other doors
have opened to Mr. Garber be-
cause of this research.

Mr. Garber plans to call on four
alumnae living in Beirut, Leb-
anon; Cairo, Egypt; Paris, France,
and Haifa, Israel. Evelyn Elkin,
who lives in Haifa, has a very in-
teresting background. While here
as a student, she expressed her

Handbook Reveals
1952 Job Outlook

All students, and especially
those who are undecided about the
selection of a major or of courses,
can get a great deal of helpful
information in the 1951 edition of
the Occupational Outlook Hand-
book according to Secretary of
Labor Maurice J. Tobin.

Following are a few highlights
from the handbook:

More than 75,000 new elemen-
tary school teachers were needed
for the 1950-51 school year and
only 35,000 persons qualified for
regular elementary teaching cer-
tificates in June 1950.

There is a shortage of scientists
(particularly of those with ad-
vanced degrees) for basic and
background research, development
and applied research, and teach-
ing.

In television, the workers in
greatest demand are the techni-
cians, especially those who have
a good knowledge of mathematics
and electronic theory.

Employment opportunities for
radio operators (telephone and
telegraph) , radio announcers,
newspaper reporters, and photog-
raphers are expected to be limited
for the next several years.

The need for additional trained
women is great in all the occu-
pations in which women have led
in employment: in nursing, dietet-
ics, physical and occupational
therapy, social work, and library
work.

These highlights touch on only
a few of the industries and occu-
pations covered in the Handbook.

Sinclair Opens Laboratory
To All American Inventors

Released by the Press Department, Kenyon & Eckhardt, Inc.

The Sinclair Research Laboratories, a new, multi-million
dollar research plant at Harvey, 111., is now ready to process
free any ideas submitted by independent American inventors
under terms of the Sinclair Plan.

Fostered by P. C. Spencer, president, Sinclair Oil Corp.,
New York, the Sinclair Plan is a
project to provide all the tech-
nical facilities, financing and skill-
ed personnel necessary to bring to
commercial fruition the idea of
any American "for a new or im-
proved petroleum product or ap-
plication." For its efforts and in-
vestment, Sinclair is to receive
the privilege of using the devel-
oped product "royalty free," but
the inventor is guaranteed the
right by Sinclair to make any
outside business arrangement he
wishes with his product.

Speaking of the plan, Mr. Spen-
cer said: "The success of this
plan depends on finding those
Americans who have ideas that
can be brought to final usefulness.
The ideas may come from chem-
ists, garage mechanics, students
or housewives. It is our intention
to seek out these people with
ideas, whoever and wherever they
may be. We are convinced that
this program will ultimately un-
cover new ideas in the realm of
petroleum products that might
otherwise go unnoticed, that it
may do much to stimulate and en-
courage all inventors and help re-
move a difficult roadblock to
progress."

The Sinclair Plan has been hail-
ed by the press as " . . . significant
evidence that free enterprise cap-
italism, as we know it in this
county, is not all greed and cut-
throat competition as its enemies
insist it must be."

But more, the Plan heralds the
opening of a new American fron-

At Christmas

There are those who give little of the much which they have
and they give it for recognition and their hidden desire makes their
gifts unwholesome.

And there are those who have little and give it all.

There are the believers in life and the bounty of life, and their cof-
fer is never empty.

There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.

And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their
baptism.

And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do
they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue.

They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance
into space.

Through the hands of such as these God speaks, and from behind
their eyes He smiles upon the earth." Kahlil Gibran.

Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest thing in the
world stronger than hate . . . stronger than evil . . . stronger than
death . . . and that the blessed life which began in Bethlehem 1900
years ago is the image and brightness of the Eternal Love?

Then you can keep Christmas. H. Van Dyke.

Aggies to Hang Stockings
In 'Hopes of Saint Nick'

By VIRGINIA CLAIRE HAYS

Dear Santa Claus,

All the girls said to tell you that they were sorry they didn't
have time to write you letters, but this is the party season at school,
and they all are going to be REAL busy for the next two weeks.
However, they all plan to hang their stockings with care on the big
night, and promise they'll put out the fires, so you won't have any
trouble coming down the chimney.

Lorna Wiggins would like a full time membership in the Garden
club. Lorna says she has been a real sweet girl, and she hopes you
won't fly over her house.

The dining room wants a truck-load of good, garden-fresh broccoli.

Mary Beth Robinson wants some nice Greek translations in her
stocking.

Virginia Lee Floyd would like for you to do something about her
English 211. She doesn't particularly care what, but please do some-
thing.

Carolyn Wells asked for a spare knee if you have any on hand.
Mrs. Annie Mae F. Smith asks that everyone do her Christmas
shopping early.

Theresa Dokos wishes that you would please send somebody to go
to Negro Mission.

The switchboard operators would love some more outside lines.

Dr. Alston would like for you to bring him an overwhelming num-
ber of applications for next September.

Hannah Jackson wants a big thick foam rubber cushion for her
reserved seat in the library.

Tavie Garlington surely would be happy if nine certain young
healthy women would come back to school in January with voices
softened.

The smokers want a whole new ventilating system in the smoker,
please!

Miss Zenn wants a bargain size album of Fats Waller.

Mary Newell Rainey would like a charm course entitled "How to
Overcome Shyness."

Ann Cooper wishes she had another trip to North Carolina.

Mr. R. Mell Jones wishes for his Christmas nothing more than for
all girls to tell all dates good night without lingering awhile.

Jo Jordan, Barbara West, Charlotte Allsmiller, Dot Duckworth,
and Betty Rainey really won't have time for you to come, dear Santa.
Dot is going to be busy admiring her wedding ring, Jo and Charlotte
will be too excited about their engagement rings, and Barbara and
Betty will be looking at their new pins.

June Carpenter and Sybil Corbett would like for you to leave all
the sweet little girls a handbook of simplified rules, so Exec won't
have too much work to do next quarter.

Ann Boyer would like for you to bring her 10 issues of the Agnes
Scott News already published and filled with good news.

Miss Scandrett would like for you to bring her a ready made exam
schedule which suits each girl perfectly. -

Barbara Brown wants you to bring her something, she doesn't
know what, to eliminate the need for freshmen to brush their teeth
after 10:45.

Mr. Tart would like a big bushel of money for his office^

All our mothers and daddys wish you would bring us each a Phi
Bete key.

Chizuko Yoshimura wants you to bring her a great big pile of white
fluffy snow because she is spending the holidays in South Carolina.

And Santa, ole' boy, if you have anything left over after bringing
automobiles, boy friends, clothes, and various other articles to all
the sweet little girls, I wish you would fill my stocking with a nice
pair of broad shoulders.

Love,

V. C.

Basketball Players to Meet
At Beginning at '52 Season

By Julia Grier

One of the most popular sports at Agnes Scott is basket-
ball, and it isn't very long before the season starts. On Fri-
day, Jan. 4, at 4 p. m. in the gymnasium there will be a meet-
ing of all the players to discuss the rules, schedule, and class
practices. This year the teams will be coached by Mrs.
Stratton Story, instructor in
physical education.

The class managers are Mattie
Hart, senior; Adele Thompson, ju-
nior; Jackie Josey, sophomore;
and Mary Evelyn Knight, fresh-
man. Then comes January 18,
the date of the first game. The
big question of "who's going to
play whom" is settled by a tradi-
tion . Just before game time each
class manager is blind-folded and
put in a separate corner. She may
go in any direction that she wants.
As they stumble about trying to
find their way, the gymnasium is
filled with suspense. The first two
managers that find each other
decide which teams will play. As
usual, there will be six intramural
games for each class.

The season will close with a
varsity game. Of course there
are always lots of questions at the
first of the season. What team
will win the school cup? Will the
senior guards be as hard to score
against as last year? Will Margie
Thomason still be an outstanding
forward for the junior team? Will
the sophomores have as many
players coming out for the team
as last year? Above all, what
hidden talents do the freshmen
have? Let's hope this proves to be
a successful season, and remem-
ber that basketball is just around
the corner!

in continuous operation since its
foundation in 1808 by the Church
of Scotland. The hospital claims
to be the oldest mission hospital
continuously in use in the world.

Eleventh Visit

Frost Will Revisit Campus
To Lecture Here Jan. 23

By Pris Sheppard

Robert Frost, beloved American poet, returns to the Agnes
Scott campus Wednesday, Jan. 23, for his eleventh visit. He
will speak in Presser Hall at 8:30 p. m., the first presentation
of the 1952 lecture series of the college.

The famous New Englander, whose object in living is "to
unite his avocation and vocation,"
is a familiar figure to the campus,
and he appears as poet, lecturer,
and an old friend of the college.
He made his first visit in 1935,
and has returned annually since
1944. Although he no longer
makes regular lecture tours, he
stops in Decatur en route to or
from his Florida home.

While residing here for several
days, he will devote some of his
time to informal conferences with
the students. Miss Emma May
Laney, associate professor of Eng-
lish and faculty advisor of Lecture
accosiation is completing the ar-
rangements for his visit.

Pulitzer Prize Winner

Mr. Frost, known as the chief
interpreter of New England, has
won the Pulitzer prize for poetry
four times. His latest book is a
new edition of his poetry, "The
Road Not Taken," edited by Louis
Untermeyer. Recognized by Mr.
Untermeyer as the American poet
"with no contemporary rival," Mr.
Frost has been formal or informal
professor of poetry at various
times at Dartmouth, Amherest,
Harvard, Middlebury, and the
University of Michigan. He has
been honored by Princeton, Yale,
Harvard, Columbia and the Uni-
versity of California. He has been
the subject of feature articles in
the nation's foremost journals;
the most recent of these was the
cover story by Mark Van Doren
in the Atlantic Monthly of June,
1951.

The originator of a new kind
of poetry lecture, Mr. Frost com-
bines the reading of some of his
own poems with philosophic com-
ments on poetry in general! He
has a delightful and realistic way
of reading his compositions and
his comments reveal his sly Ver-
mont humor.

The lecture on January 23 is
open to the public but a section
of the auditorium will be reserved

ROBERT FROST

for students and faculty members
until 8:20. Free tickets will be
available in the book store Jan.
21, 22, and 23. Mr. Frost will au-
tograph copies of his books if
they are left in the bookstore by
Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 23.

Series of Coffees
On Career Topics
To Begin Tomorrow

Dr. Evangeline Papageorge, '28
graduate of Agnes Scott, gave an
introduction in Convocation this
morning to the series of Career
Coffees to be held in coming
weeks. Dr. Papageorge teaches
in the Emory chemistry depart-
ment.

The first of the Career Coffees
will be Thursday, Jan. 17, between
7 and 8 p. m. in the Alumnae
house. The career to be discussed
is teaching. Dr. Richard Stevens,
principal of Henry Grady high
school, will open with a sample
interview to demonstrate the
qualifications required for would-
be teachers.

Discussion Groups

Following this, the group will
divide into discussion groups to
be led by Miss Rebecca Lacey, '48,
and Miss Sarah Hancock, '50.
Miss Lacey, who teaches the sev-
enth grade at Oakhurst, will dis-
cuss elementary education. Miss
Hancock, teacher of mathematics
and art at Decatur Girls' High,
will discuss teaching in high
schools.

Two more Career Coffees are
planned for February. These cof-
fees are sponsored by the Alum-
nae committee, Mortar Board,
Mrs. Clay Lewis and the Dean's
office.

Blackfriars, Emory Players
To Give 7 Remember Mama

By B. J. Sharpe

At a meeting Sunday afternoon, the Blackfriars' board
decided on the annual spring play, which will be April 17 at
Agnes Scott. In conjunction with the Emory Players, the
Blackfriars will present John van Druten's unforgettable
"I Remember Mama." The play was adapted from Kathryn
Forbes' "Mama's Bank Account."

Every critic has praised it and
has expressed again and again
his appreciation of the author's
understanding and artistry. John
Mason Brown has said that the
success of "I Remember Mama"
on Broadway presents an encour-
aging indication of how we as
people have a proper appreciation
of the simple. Walter Winchell's
comment was that it is "not only
a dramatic but also a brilliant
family portrait."

'Frisco In 1900
"I Remember Mama" is the
story of a Norwegian American
family living in San Francisco in
the early 1900's. It has a core
of warmth that is captured onlj
in a picture of close family life.
The play was presented first at
the Shubert Theatre in New Ha-
ven, Conn., in the year 1944 by
Rogers and Hammerstein. One
month later it was presented in
New York, and after making a
success on Broadway, it was made
into a movie. It has since been
successful on both stage and
screen time after time.

Mr. van Druten has written
many well known books and plays,
among which are "The Voice of
the Turtle" and "Leave Her to
Heaven."

The cast will be announced
later.

Juniors to Reveal % L Esprit'
During 'An Evening in Paris

By Betsy Hodges

The selection of "L' Esprit de Paris" will climax "An Even-
ing in Paris, " the 1952 Junior Joint Jan. 26 at 8 p. m. in the
gymnasium.

Under the direction of Charlene Tritton and Keller Hen-
derson the junior class will attempt to paint a picture of
Paris. One of the four candidates
Will be chosen queen of Junior
Joint at the end of the evening.

Junior Joint, annual dramatic
production of the junior class,
was presented at Agnes Scott
in 1929. The night, directed by
the senior class, was known then
as Mardi Gras. There were pa-
rades, floats and booths for sell-
ing in the gymnasium, with no
program planned.

In 1939 the junior class made
Mardi Gras its class project and
gave the night its present name.
They presented a musical show
and elected a king, who chose his
queen. Proceeds from the enter-
tainment were used by the class
to purchase a gift for the school.

Junior Joint has become an
outstanding annual event on the
campus. Today the class decides
the theme and plans the evening's
entertainment, with each of the
other classes contributing a skit.
Each class nominates a queen and

ism." The public is invited.

By Phyllis Hess

Thirty-six students and 10 fac-
ulty and staff members of Agnes
Scott College made a call on the
DeKalb chapter of the American
Red Cross, Thursday, Jan. 10. It
was no social call, although punch
and cookies were served, but a
magnificent reply to the senior
project which voiced the appeal
of every wounded soldier in Korea.

The girls have been bombarded
with questions ever since, and
they agree unanimously to one
answer, "No, it doesn't hurt, and
it gives you a mighty satisfied
feeling that you've done some
good." The donors were Atalante
Anason, Margaret Andes, Char-
lotte Allsmiller, Ann Baxter, Ber-
tie Bond, Barbara Brown, Billie
Bryan, Betty Cheney, Nancy De-
Armond, Shirley Ford, Kathryn
Gentry, Kitty Goff, Chor Gee

Lumpkin, Mif Martin, Jane Puck-
ett, Lillian Ritchie, Helen Jean
Robarts, Miriam Runyon, Ade-
laide Ryall, B. J. Sharpe, Carol
Solomon, Lorna Wiggins, and Syl-
via Williams.

Faculty and staff members con-
tributing included Miss Elizabeth
Barineau, Miss Josephine Bridge-
man, Mr. W. J. Frierson, Miss
Nancy Groseclose, Mr. George P.
Hayes, Mr. Raymond Jones, Mr.
Raymond J. Martin, Miss Kath-
erine T. Omwake, Miss Carrie
Scandrett, and Mr. Sam P. Wig-
gins.

Although this senior project re-
ceived a wonderful response, there
is always a need for blood. Those
who wish to contribute may con-
tact the Red Cross office in At-
lanta.

Mad

We usually manage to keep reasonably calm and of a cool
temper in these two left-hand columns on page two, even
when we are forced to complain about the status quo of our
ivory tower. We remind you not to walk on the grass, we
ask you PLEASE not to waste food in the dining hall, we
raise the roof because of the Out-of-Bookstore. But through
the long months, we trust, we have never gone past the
slightly-warm-under-the-collar stage.

All this has been in the manner of preparation and intro-
duction for what is to follow, because this week we break all
precedence and nearest window panes to admit that we are
just plain MAD. We admit it gladly, even proudly. There
are Causes, there are Good Causes this \^eek we are de-
fending a Be Cause. Be Cause we had nothing else we par-
ticularly wanted to say, and Be Cause this infuriating inci-
dent came to our attention today.

We are too cautious to state that ALL our troubles aire due
to this problem, but we maintain that many of them can be
traced directly to this source, if given careful thought. We
hate it, we detest it, we get furnous at the thought of its far-
reaching call to the innocent. In the first place, we feel that
we are too young, too ignorant of the ways of the "cold, cruel
world." But with mocking, ringing laughter, it calls to us
from the dark, awakens us from our lethargy, and we face
the problems it invokes every day.

So, realizing that we speak from the throes of anger, irra-
tionally, we nevertheless must stand by our principles, ask-
ing of you, of ourselves, of the world at large: who had the
unmitigated gall, the inhuman cruelty, to invent the alarm
clock? A. B.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Madam Editor:

Being an outsider on the campus maybe I don't understand
the Agnes Scott traditions as well as I should, but having
seen the World Student Service Fund drives at other colleges
and universities, I wonder if the students here don't lose
sight of the ultimate aim of Junior Joint.

As far as I can see raising money for this worthy cause
may seem to have dropped to second or even third place.
The main aim seems to be to outdo the other classes by any
means possible, and to do everything to keep the others from
making money.

As I understand it, the one thing of which the WSSF is
proud is that its funds come from the campus alone. From
things I've overheard, it seems anything goes around here;
money is money no matter what the source.

The most deplorable action is the way the classes very
carefully avoid letting one cent get into another class' fund.
A pin-up contest is held, so the other classes boycott it. Hot-
dogs go on sale; no one outside the class will buy them.
Money spent on food goes to waste while some student over-
seas does without paper for another six weeks.

And the Junior Joint itself! Extravagant costumes are
fine in the Ziegfield Follies, but I believe people do not ex
pect the same quality on the Agnes Scott cmapus. A little
ingenuity alone should be able to do what is needed, without
running up a bill for a few extra spangles.

As long as funds are so desperately needed it seems that
each of us could try to make every possible cent count. A
drive like this should unite the campus in a spirit of doing
something worthwhile, in a spirit of friendly' competition
If that's asking too much of Junior Joint I think its purpose
should be changed and run entirely separate from all the
other charity drives. The discord and bad feelings -it causes
among the classes, as well as the conniving and unsportsman
like conduct it brings out in some people^ certainly defeat
any charitable purpose it is supposed to sponsor.

Will Shakespeare Invokes
Apologies in All Directions

By MARION MERRITT

Note: The poem following is of unknown authorship. Written in a
feeble hand on a scrap of the type of ruled paper commonly used by
students, it was found shortly before dawn, fluttering forlornly in
the hall of Buttriek. It is published here as a most skillful example of
exquisitely cleverly handling of foot and meter combined with a gen-
uinely brilliant choice of words.

A Complaint Against W. Shakespeare
With apologies in all directions

Will Shakespeare was a funster,

A master wit and punster;
And when put to it could construe it
* in solemn verse so sad. (sniff.)

The scholars all a-twitter,

Do sit and weep and titter,
And think dear Willie pretty silly

or mon-ste-russ-ly trad, (gic.)

I love old Will most dearly.

You'll find my eye all tearly,
When you reads me of the deeds he
performed as just a lad.

In Stratford on the Avon

He dined on deer and capon,
But Willie later found it greater
in London to be bad.

They say he was a smoothie,

With dashing smile so toothie,
For t'was a pity in the city

not to party just a tad.

His verses I'm applauding,

His plays with praise I'm lauding,
But ain't it dirty at eight-thirty

to tell what fun he had?

NAM Undertakes Campaign
For Financial Aid to Education

(Released from the National Association of Manufacturers)

"Business enterprises must find a way to support the
whole educational program effectively, regularly and
now."

With this resolution, the National Association of Manufac-
turers has launched an unprecedented, nation-wide campaign
to get businessmen to come to

the financial aid of America's
public and private schools.

The NAM's campaign, which has
the approval of leaders in educa-
tion, in the professions, and in in-
dustry, was announced by Earl
Bunting, managing director. In
letters to the more than 17,000
members of the association, Mr.
Bunting asked each to take the
lead in a drive to aid both public
and private schools in his own
community and also "to arouse
other businessmen to do their
part."

Mr. Bunting's appeal revealed
that the NAM, which for years has
voiced industry's interest in edu-
cation, has now gone further and
is urging business enterprises to
assume a larger and more con-
crete responsibility for the fin-
ancial support of education.

The association took this new
position because influential lead-
ers in industry and business were
concerned over relative "freeze"
in funds available for education at
the very time when educational
needs were expanding and educa-
tional costs were mounting even
more rapidly.

It was pointed out that the pro-
gressive rate principle in income
taxes has halted the building of
private fortunes, which once
formed the source of large en-
dowments and other bequests to
education.

At the same time, Federal taxes
are taking more and more of the
income earned in each commun-
ity and state, leaving less money

available for education and other
needs. Compounding these forces
has been inflation, which, by halv-
ing the value of the dollar, dou-
bled the seed for dollars just to
maintain existing faculties, facil-
ities, and standards.

This squeeze of economic forces,
which threatens the very exist-
ence of many institutions of high-
er learning, and is weakening all
education, formed the background
for the NAM's decision to act. t
"The part which our national
school system, both public and
private, and from elementary
grades through professional and
technical schools, can play in pre-
paring Americans to meet present

Mile. Challenges
College Women

(Released by Mademoiselle)

Have College Women Let Us
Down ? is a question that Howard
Mumford Jones answers with an
indictment in the January issue of
Mademoiselle.

Mr. Jones, Harvard English
professor and president of the
American Academy of Arts and
Sciences, finds a "withering away
of the sense of intellectual adven-
ture, of individual inquiry among
American college women." No
longer is the campus a bastion of
causes and movements. Instead,
the prevalent belief is that secur-
ity is the end-all of existence.

'-In a nation in which security
has become an obsession," Mr.
Jones says, "the result is, natural-
ly enough, that kind of genteel
self-absorption, that waning of
civic spirit characteristics of the
present generation of young
American girls in college."

She wants a job but not a car-
eer. She wants a whjte-collar hus-
band, but also a ranch house, "in-
teresting" neighbors, and an in-
come of $10,000 a year 10 years
after college. She gets her les-
sons without applying her mind.
She is not one whit interested in
the world around her: in modern
art, literature, music or philoso-
phy.

Mr. Jones admits that the col-
lege woman's inharmonious ele-
ments are an echo of her confus-
ed society, but he is not prepared
to accept the fact that college
students are entitled merely to
echo society.

"I suppose this mood will pass,"
Professor Jones says. "Neither the
naition nor the colleges can live in-
definitely in negativism . . . Quite
possibly the listlessness now evi-
dent among college girls in Amer-
ica may be scattered overnight
by some dramatic turn in his-
tory. Meanwhile the colleges are
playing it safe, and so are i the
girls."

Now girls, your weekends need never be dull and uninteresting any-
more . . . Atlanta is now among the chosen cities and has received a
I branch of the famed Escorts, Inc. You can now have them tall and
dark, short and skinny, red-headed with freckles, any type you specify.
Price lists will be sent postage-free upon request. This is a new and
wonderful service (say many) which is run by a couple of very re-
spectable people. This is leap year and those who are energetic
enough will find varied and glorious opportunities anywhere they so
desire to find them. Epicurus was very wise when he said ''Enjoy
the passing hour."

If you are depressed, unhappy, blue, sad, lonely, bored, or just dis-
satisfied with life in general, DO NOT READ THE FOLLOWING
PARAGRAPH BECAUSE YOUR NAME IS NOT LISTED.

If you have seen girls walking around the campus lately with their
arms in slings you can be sure that their arms are hurting, but not
from any injury. They all had something done to their third fingers.
Such rings I never did see! 1

Marion Merritt and M. L. Brittain became engaged on the 28th of
December. Ellen Hunter has such a beautiful ring that you should
make a special effort to see it. And Miss Smoky Bowers is planning
a June wedding since she got her lovely ring Dec. 15. Clairelis Eaton
is all smiles and you know why!

Katherine Gentry has one, too. Jackie Simmons is practice-teaching
this quarter and for that reason does not come out to school much,
but glory be, you ought to see the ring her Billy gave her! Nancy
Hobbs went to North Carolina during Christmas and brought home a
surprise. It certainly is pretty!

Fifteen Pins # Too

Balfour must be doing a booming business these days, judging from
the new fraternity pins I see around the campus. Betty Moyer and
Doris Clingman have darling Sigma Phi Epsilon pins heart-shaped!
Two more are enlisted as Sigma Chi sweethearts: Dele Thompson
and Sidney Newton are proud of their crosses.

The Alpha Tau Omegas had an absolute heyday out here. Mabel
Milton and Letty Grafton are sporting ATO pins. Anne DeWitt has
a lovely sapphire and ruby Chi Phi pin. Lib Flynn is wearing a Sigma
Nu pin. Another KA rose is Carolyn Holtrey. Ann Walrath and Nim-
mo Howard have Kappa Sigma pins.

Margie Thomason and Dot Hardin are proud possessors of Phi
Delta Theta pins. Sally Smith is pinned to a Chi Phi and Elaine
Blaine is wearing a law fraternity pin.

Thus ends the story of those who have done well for themselves.
We are so proud of all who have rings, pins or even a photograph.
Maybe that rumor ("Nine out of 10 Agnes Scott girls get married")
is true.

her A. B. degree from Agnes Scott
and her M. S. degree from Emory
University. Her studies at the
University of Michigan completed
her Ph.D. She was awarded the
Sterling Fellowship to Yale for
special research in the field of
bio-chemistry, and a $2,500 grant-
in-aid for research on "rutin." In
1949 she won the achievement
award of the Emory Woman's
Club for research and published
work in the field of nutrition".
She is now a member of the Em-
ory University faculty.

Refreshments will be served at
Miss Scandrett's home.

about 12 hours a week. Since
these schools are located in all
parts of France, and some assist-
ants will be the only Americans
in the oemmunity, the grants offer
an unusual opportunty to get a
close-up view of French life to-
day. Given by the French govern-
ment, the grants provide from 22,-
000 to 27,000 francs a month dur-
ing the academic year. To be el-
igible for an assistantship, Amer-
ican applicants must be unmar-
ried, have a good knowledge of
French, and by this summer, have
a bachelor's degree from an
American college.

The French government also is
offering approximately 35 fellow-
ships to Americans for graduate
study in France. The fellowships,
open to students in all fields of
study, provide tuition and 20,000
francs a month. Eligibility re-
quirements are the same as for

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday. Jan. 23. 1952

A J

unior

Repl

les

So much controversy has arisen over the letter which the
News published last week that a synthesis of the campus
opinion should be made in answer to it.

The principal criticism launched against the manner of
conducting Junior Joint seemed to be in the manner in which
money is collected. We admit that the competition between
classes may not always be for the best, but the fact remains
that such a large amount of money was turned in by Agnes
Scott to the WSSF after last year's campaign that the foun-
dation sent a special letter of appreciation to the students.

Furthermore, there has been no bitterness fostered be-
tween classes as results of money-raising schemes thus far.
As yet there has been no concrete suggestion for improve-
ment other than elimination of all lucrative schemes alto-
gether. Until some better scheme is devised for raising a
comparable amount of money in a more painless way, we
are forced to support the present plan.

As far as we can see, the results are very satisfactory; a
wonderful show is presented, and the students contribute an
amazing amount to one of the worthiest charities. P. S.

We Want Grass

Occasionally something on campus is brought to our at-
tention as needing correcting. This may be a physical defect
or attitude, or even the manner in which activities are con-
ducted; this time it is the ruin of our campus by unsightly
paths criss-crossing the grass. They axe unnecessary.

In the first place, it is expensive to buy grass seed. Sec-
ondly, the soil in this area of Georgia is so depleted that even
grass has a difficult time taking root. Third, the appearance
of the campus is not improved by the numerous brown run-
ways through otherwise green and pretty areas.

"Please" signs have had no effect; neither have suggestions
from Student government. It is time that each and every
one of us individually assumed the responsibility of remov-
ing these unsightly spots from campus. As it is, it will take
months for an even and pretty stand of grass to cover the
hard-packed surfaces. It doesn't take but a few seconds long-
er to get to lunch or the smoker by using the brick walks, and
the food and ashtrays aren't going to run away while you
are coming. We are not so busy that a few extra seconds and
steps will do us great injury, so slow down, use the walks, and
help the campus again become a place of beauty with grass
where it is supposed to grow. B. W.

the assistantships.

Four special scholarships for
the study of art and music in Par-
is are also offered through the
Institute by the Woolley Foun-
dation. Each scholarship provides
a grant of $1,000, and carries the
provision that the student will
live at the Foundation des Etates-
Unis of the Cite Universitaire.
Eligibility requirements include
graduation from an American col-
lege or professional school, good
knowledge of French, and capac-
ity for independent study in music
or art.

Applications from many Ameri-
can students for these 80 'grants
are encouraged by the Institute.
Completed applications must be
filed by Feb. 15, 1952. Inquiries
should be made immediately to
the U. S. Student Program, Insti-
tute of International Education,
West 45th Street, New York 19,

A number of travel grants from
the U. S. government, to cover
transportation costs, will be open
under the Fulbright Act for re-
cipients of these grants.

End Justifies Means, Says
Merritt About Junior Joint

By Marion Merritt

The person responsible for this column is seldom serious
and to date has never taken issue with anything, at least
not in print. The trouble is, she writes her weekly gab on
Sunday night, and is always feeling great. If she wrote it
on say Wednesday afternoon, when the week seems to
stretch out everlastingly past and

future, things might be different.

At this point, however, she
wishes to courteously disagree
with the letter to the editor which
appeared in last week's News. By
the way, don't you think it's nice
to have letters to the editor and
replies and all that sort of thing?
Makes everything so sort of con-
troversial.

To get around to business. The
letter, in case you weren't with
us last Wednesday, was about Ju-
nior Joint and the WSSF contri-
bution. First, let me say that I
agree with the criticism of com-
petition between classes being
carried to the extreme of one
class boycotting the fund-raising
schemes of another. This is a
sure shot at a bad practice, and
deserves attention. Hard feelings
don't belong in a charity drive for
an organization whose purpose is
universal good will among stu-
dents.

Written Last Year

Now, through the grapevine I
found out that the letter was
written last year. At that time,
many felt that the spirit of Junior
Joint as a student activity on the
campus had been slightly spotted
by the methods of fund-raising
used. Though I am a member of

Class News

The senior class gave a party
at Emy Evans' farm in Stone
Mountain Friday night. Waist-
line admission was the order of
the nighf, followed by games, re-
freshments and dancing.

A scrapbook of the activities of
the junior, class has been started,
to be kept throughout this year
and next year. Margaret Cousar
is in charge.

The sophomore class has ex-
pressed a desire for philosophy
discussions similar to the ones
held for the seniors in the past.
A committee is working with Dr.
Alston to decide upon topics to be
discussed and a schedule of dates.

The freshmen are having a jit-
terbug contest in Inman lobby.
There will be a small admission
to enter and a prize will be given
to the winner.

In Near East Nations on Trip

By Barbara West

Spain, Portugal, Italy, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan,
Israel, Greece, Switzerland, France, England, Ireland, and
Iceland in 37 days 14,000 miles by air, automobile, and
camel took Mr. Paul Leslie Garber, professor of Bible
to the Holy Land and back during the Christmas vacation.
In fact, Mr. Garber spent three
out of five weeks in the Holy
Land itself, studying the people
and seeing areas sacred to all
Christians.

Impressions of the Middle East
included the decided "closeness"
of people. Distances between
towns are small, and houses nev-
er far apart. Unlike the United
States, there are no open spaces,
no distances where you cannot
see houses and people. Anywhere
you go, people surround you with-

Here in the United States we
dress similarly and have some-
what similar tastes and appear-
ances. In the Middle East this
is not so. There the people dress
as they desire, whether this be
Western, in Arabic style, in an
army uniform, or something else.
There are people of all nations
there, and each one retains the
practice of his customs and tra-
ditions; instead of being a melting
pot, the area is one of variety.

Mr. Garber noticed many con-
trasts between Israel and Jor-
dan. Israel is the old world, in
the Oriental sense of the word.
The streets are narrow, dark at
night; traffic proceeds in au-
tomobiles and trucks, along with
camels and donkeys. A herd of
sheep may hold up the whole pro-
ceedings while crossing the high-

the News staff, I think it hardly
fair to the letter's author to pub-
lish, a year later, her criticism
of a particular campaign.

The letter also states that ex-
travagant costumes are out of
place when the money could be
used for the drive. Well, on the
face of things, that would seem a
just attitude, .but the facts seem
to indicate otherwise. It seems
that as Junior Joint grows, so
does the amount that goes in the
kitty. Agnes Scott has, according
to informal report from a WSSF
official, Mr. James Gleason, about
the best college record in the
country for support of WSSF and
last year's contribution was more
than any other school in the
South. Junior Joint has centered
our attention on WSSF. Obviously
fancy bait is catching big fish. A
good show for your money, the
basic idea behind lavish charity
balls and not so lavish country
fairs the world over, seems to
work very well as a means for
rounding up money for a cause.

General Support

Since Junior Joint is generally
enjoyed 'by the campus commun-
ity, it receives general support.
The cost of the entertainment
amounts to a fraction of the
amount that we donate in .the long
run, and also we have the satis-
faction of doing something that
was fun and at least came off
better than we expected. Squab-
bles and spangles may be unnec-
essary, but at least we're all in
there pitching together. Anyway,
after this week, maybe we can
all get hold of the schoolbooks for
a couple of minutes, and try to
rescue ourselves from the depths
df ignorance before it's too ab-
solutely bad. See ya Saturday!

An abaiyah, the gentleman Araba's robe, and traditional caf-
eah headpiece are two of the souvenirs of Mr. Paul Leslie
Garber's recent trip to the Near East. He is holding a clay
lamp, a relic from the time of David, which uses oil as fuel,
and a bottle of water taken from the Dead Sea.

Goodbye Mr. Jones

Jones Receives 'Greetings 7
From Friends in Washington

"Each of you will miss only person, while I will miss five
hundred and fifty." This is the statement made by Mr. Ray-
mond Mell Jones, college engineer, when asked how he felt
about leaving Saturday for the U. S. Navy. He received his
''greetings" from Uncle Sam on December 22 to go back into
the Navy for a year.

Mr. Jones was born on Decern

ber 2, 1913, in Nashville, Term.,
where he spent the early part of
his life. Here, in 1939, he was
married to Lucille Garrison.

After attending David Lips-
comb College and Tennessee Tech,
he graduated from the U. S. Mar-
itime Service School for Mer-
chant Marine officers. Here he
received an unlimited license for
diesel and steam vessels. This
takes from seven to 12 years to
complete.

It may not be surprising to
find that Mr. Jones had four bas-
ketball letters and three track
letters from high school, and two
letters each in college. But, did
you know that he also was a drum
major while in high school and
in the Tennessee national guard
band? Somehow he managed to
toss a basketball, jump hurdles,
throw a discus and twirl a
baton.

"Anchors Aweigh" became the
theme song for the Jones family
in 1941, when "the head of the
house" joined the feet. He had
a 23-month Navy career, and was
in the Merchant Marines for 27
months after that. During this
time, he visited' 53 foreign coun-
tries and 46 of the 48 states.

The red clay hills of Georgia
must have recognized a good man
when they spotted him up in
Tennessee. Anyway, they took a
chance and beckoned him on down
to Atlanta in 1947. Two years lat-
er he shifted east a tad and start-
ed working at Agnes Scott, -^and
Agnes Scott smarted working at
him. Neither one has been sorry.
He immediately became an in-
tegral and almost indispensable
part of the campus, never too
busy to stop and find something,
or explain something, or even
build something for any student,
just about all of whom he knows
by name. Whatever needed to be
done on campus could be done by
Mr. Jones, and he could somehow
manage to laugh while doing
things difficult or time consuming.

Mr. Jones is not only a hus-
band, father of two children
sportsman, musician, electrical
engineer, carpenter, and "a nice
man to have around," but he is
also a lawyer. He lacks three
courses for his L. L. D. degree
which he says he intends to get
when he returns next year. "How
ever," he says. "I will never use

it because I have too much to do
at Agnes Scott, and this is where
I want to be."

Mrs. Jones, who is also a very
necessary part of the campus in
the way of "keeping the seams to-
gether," Randy and Jan will re-
main at Agnes Scott until Mr.
Jones returns next year.

Garber

way, and all vehicles move at a
snail's pace. In Israel an entirely
different atmosphere prevails.
The streets are modern, well-
lighted; farming is done with new
equipment, in contrast with the
wooden plows used by the Arabs.
In fact, Mr. Garber feels that Is-
rael is a "little Switzerland," be-
cause the people have much en-
ergy and vitality, specialize in
small industries, have initiative,
ideas, and optimism. However,
these people realize that without
our economic and governmental
support, there would be mass ex-
ecution of citizens by the Arabs.
The feeling against the United
States, its citizens and money
was extremely noticeable to Mr.
Garber in the Arabic countries.
These people do not understand
how we can side with Israel about
establishing it as a nation, then
spend thousands of dollars for
economic aid for Arabs through
the United Nations.

To Mr. Garber, this trip ful-
filled a life-long dream of a pil-
grimage to the Holy Land, and
provided him with an excellent
opportunity to study the contrasts
among the people of the area.

South Rises Again, Honors
Robert E. Lee With Party

By JOAN SIMMONS, Guest Editor

The boys saved their Confederate money and the Old South rose
again last Saturday night when Christian association and Social com-
mittee sponsored a Robert E. Lee birthday party. Robert, himself,
would have appreciated the turnout. The recreation room in Rebekah
sported a fine array of Confederate flags, magnolias, and Civil War
souvenirs (any budding duelists had their sabers handy).

While the lazy ones watched TV and played cards, the dance floor
experts exhibited their talents under the canopy of Spanish moss
(without red bugs, the decorators claim). Danielle Drey and her
date were a fore-taste of Junior Joint with their French style of
dancing. Helen and Mary Land showed the New Orleans way of
doing things. The hardier couples braved the winds on the colonnade
for a brisk game of ping-pong.

The boys (pardon me, college men) displayed their wads of Con-
federate green (strictly souvenirs) while Connie Curry was seen flirt-
ing behind her Confederate fan. The chaperones, Mrs. L. M. Mc-
Cracken, Miss Nancy Groseclose, and Miss Mary Boney, frequented
the old well for mint juleps without the julep (lime sherbert substi-
tuted). The Emory hoys took over later in the evening to present a
short skit and even the TV watchers came out for the southern song
fest with Sally Veale at the piano.

And what did all those present think about the party? IT WAS
MO' FUN!

Large Crowd Supports Teams
In Friday's Basketball Games

Intramural basketball got off to a flying start last Friday
when a large and enthusiastic crowd turned out for the first
game of the season.

The seniors overran the freshmen 34-7 and the sophomores
edged the juniors out of victory with a 14-12 score.

Teamwork #nd skill, the result

of four years of playing together,
were noticeable in the seniors'
game. The freshmen, on the other-
er hand, were 'handicapped by
their lack of coordination. De-
spite their failure to run up a
score they showed individual abil-
ity and promise of improvement
as the season advances. Carolyn
Wells, freshman guard, played an
excellent game.

The junior-sophomore game was
close throughout and aroused a
great deal of tension among the
spectators. Anxious players made
personal fouls, the source of many
points for each side. A gain by
one side was rapidly followed up
by a score that put the other team
iahead. The juniors failed in
several last minute attempts and
the sophomores retained their
lead as the whistle ended the
strain of players and spectators
on both sides.

Friday, the juniors play the
freshmen and the sophomores take
on the seniors at 4 p. m. in Buch-
er Scott gymnasium. Class at-
tendance will be checked as a part
of the competition for the class
spirit cup.

Posey Gives Honors Tea

sor of history, entertained the

Juniors Win Acclaim

Sophs Score Dual Victory
In Junior Joint Festivities

The sophomores, with an average donation of $6.72 per
person, crowned their queen, Lois Dryden, "L'Esprit de Paris"
Saturday night as the climax to the Junior Joint festivities.
They made it a double triumph by winning the honors for
the best skit with their portrayal of "Cyranose de Georja
Teque."

The juniors, however, vied for
the m6st applause with the au-
dience's favorites, the can-can and
the trio vocalization of "How're
You Going to Keep 'em Down on
the Farm?"

A total of $1,996 was collected
for the WSSF by the combined
classes. Tallied on a percentage
basis, the sophs collected $739;
the seniors vvere second with an
average donation of $6.69 and a
total of $668. The juniors were
third with an average contribution
of $2.83 and a total of $235. The
freshmen were last with an aver-
age, of $2.49 and a total of $352.

The guests of the Cafe Parisien
were greeted by tuxedo-clad door-
men who ushered them inside to
the dimly lit floor, scattered with
small tables, each lighted by can-
dle-covered wine bottles.

The artistic backdrop showing
a Parisian avenue with a spark-
ling fountain and a view of the
Eiffel tower in the distance was a
perfect setting for the colorful
scenes presented by the juniors.

AS News Service
Prepares Releases

Final plans for the News Serv-
ice on Agnes Scott campus are
being completed this week. The
organization has been set up fol-
lowing a meeting on campus for
all interested students on January
13. Mary Ann Garrard is the head
of the center on campus and is as-
sembling her staff at 'this time.
The first release from the serv-
ice is being prepared for mailing
this week.

The idea for the International
News center came from Bill Ken-
nedy of Georgia Tech. He was
responsible for the introduction
of the bill at the NSA Congress
last August in Minneapolis, Mlinn.
It passed enthusiastically. The
aim of the center is "to better the
relationships between the students
of Latin America and the United
States by exchanging news of
each other thus establishing
better relations between the two
areas." Such an information ex-
change has never been attempted
before.

Seniors Name Speakers
At Class Day Exercises

Speakers for class day were
chosen Monday by the seniors.
They are Helen Land, poet;
Catherine Crowe, historian ;
Ann Boyer, prophet; and Win-
nie Strozier, author of the
last will and testament.

Trueblood to Open RE Week
With Lecture on Communism

By Joan Simmons

Religious Emphasis week on the Agnes Scott campus will
begin on February 11 with a public lecture, "The Affirma-
tive Answer to Communism." The speaker for the week will
be Dr. Elton Trueblood, noted author and philosopher.

Dr. Trueblood has had great experience in working with
college groups. He received his

A. B. degree from Penn College
and his Ph.D. from John Hop-
kins University. Since that time
he has added to his name the de-
grees of S. T. B., Litt. B., LJL.D.,
and Lih.D. He was one-time pro-
fessor of philosophy and dean of
men at Guilford College, assistant
professor of philosophy at Haver-
ford College, acting chaplain and
professor at Harvard University,
and was visiting professor at Gar-
ret Biblical Institute and Wabash
College. From 1936 until 1945 Dr.
Trueblood was professor of phil-
osophy of Religion and chaplain at
Stanford University and in 1939
was Swarthmore lecturer in Eng-
land. At present he is professor
of philosophy at Earlham College,
Richmond, Ind. He is a member of
the American Philosophical asso-
ciation, the Board of the Church
Peace Union, and is chairman of
the Friends' World Committee for
Consultation.

Author of Many Books

In his literary capacity Dr.
Trueblood was the editor of "The
Friend" from 1935 to 1946. He
has written several books which
have been widely acclaimed.

Among these are: "The Essence
of Spiritual Religion," "The Logic
of Belief," "The Predicament of
Modern Man," "Signs of Hope in
a Century of Despair," and "The
Life We Prize."

Dr. Trueblood will talk in chap-

tion for the week. Books will fee
OH sale in the library and Dr.
Trueblood has promised to auto-
graph them.

faculty and registrar, will
speak in Convocation Wed-
nesday morning, Feb. 6.

Guest Editorial

This week is set aside on the campus as Personal Devotional
week. C. A. wants this to be a practical week of emphasis
when each student realizes how important her own spiritual
life is. It's a time of resolution. We hope that through the
chapel services and the vesper periods each student will be
able to find her own special method of devotion. When one
knows the importance of prayer and Bible study, one realizes
how short college students fall in spiritual development. We
are all busy with classes, meetings, duties, and the sort; but
God demands His time!

This is a week of preparation. If a student has gotten into
the habit of having personal devotions, Religious Emphasis
week will mean much more to her. This week search your
hearts and find the questions which puzzle you and look for
the answers to your problems during the services and dis
cussions of Religious Emphasis week.

Ideally we know that personal devotion brings assurance
and comfort; but practically, too, we know that personal de-
votion brings strength, confidence, and freedom from worry.
Take advantage of this week's opportunities; resolve to start
a habit of spending a special period of time in personal wor
snip. We really are too busy not to spend some time every
day with God. A. J.

Editor Gets Carried Away,
Attempts to Emulate Frost

By MARION MERRITT

Editor's Note: When Robert Frost was here, he mentiqfied "free
vers*'." Tin* poem below is of an oven more progressive form, known
as "escaped verse." If it escapes yon, yon have nothing on us.

The plight of the synchronized artist,
Is undoubtedly one of the hardest.

For instance, there's the poor feature editor,

who whether .

her mood tends sad or tends gay
Must produce on Sunday, something for

you to read on Wednesday.

My prose prosaic.
My verse trochaic,

(or dactylic, or archaic or mosaic,
As far as I'm concerned,)
Must appear duly
As truly,
I have learned.

'The deadline ever must be met.**
The editor doth cry,
"The deadline never must we let
For just one sec go by."

Now this Sunday is notable*
Only for an ususual amount of weather,
And I could remark about it.
But really doubt whether

I would say anything charming and quotable,
And even Petrarch about it
Could find not a single bon mot-tubble.

Since my inspiration is only a trickle,
Journalistically I'm in a pickle.
So from my pen I'll let this wisdom fall.
"A poet can say a lot about nothing at all."
And just call it my News artickle.

*Hang on to "notable." I rhyme something with
down.

An Apple A Day Won't..

This is a Crusade. We warn you before we start, because of
sportsmanship (or perhaps foolishness). Our Crusade could
be called a crusade for socialized medicine, but that would
be slightly misleading. We are going to speak about doctors,
but not the thermometer-reading kind. Nor do we advocate
a union of these doctors, directed by the government.

The doctors about which we are speaking are found in
great numbers at Agnes Scott, and are formally referred to
as Mr., Mrs.., or Miss. Perhaps all of this has a reason, but
we of the'News staff are members of the "get-credit-for-what-
you-deserve" school. Doctorate degrees are gamed through
study and research in a given field, and we feel that such
to as "Dr.," but even they are reduced to "Mr." in all official
effort deserves recognition.

Many of the male faculty members are comfonly referred
introductions and references. No woman faculty member is
ever referred to by her proper title. Hearing Dr. Papageorge
from Emory speak last week awakened anew our interest in
seeing that our own deserving faculty are referred to as
honorably.

This is our stand. Perhaps you disagree, perhaps you will
join us in /Our Fight." At any rate, all members of the col-
lege community (that useful phrase) are invited to comment.

Seen Through a Hays

'Paris est Tres Gai' Reports
Crowd From Cafe Parisien

By VIRGINIA CLAIRE HAYS

As far as I am concerned, Saturday night was THE night. Any-
one who was anyone was at the sidewalk Cafe Parisien in Bucher
Scott gymnasium. The evening was fabulous, gay, entertaining no
wonder all the fraternities, men's clubs, and bosses let their hand-
some young men off for the night. The wine, the women, and the
song far surpassed any movie, any skit, or any party given in this
region. To be absolutely unbiased and open-minded, who wanted to
go elsewhere when all this was going on ?

It was just like an evening in Paris, except for the fact that every
one was speaking English. After the entertainment the 13-piece Molars
(the Emory Dental School orchestra) played the kind of music heard
only from angels. The elite of Agnes Scott were seen in the ballroom
dancing to the heavenly music. Mademoiselles Ann Cooper and Ann
Texas Jones looked as if they were showing their Sewanee dates all
of Paris. Mademoiselle Lib McPheeters and her Bob from Greens-
boro enjoyed the creme de cola during intermission.

Queen Lois Dryden and her date made a handsome couple. Mon-
sieur Pierre Thomas fascinated everyone by kissing Lois on each
cheek in the French fashion when she was selected L'Esprit de Paris.

Mademoiselle Barbara Brown was sporting an exotic black orchid.
Who was the mystery man? Monsieur and Madame Roff Sims looked
tres gai as they waltzed around. Messieurs Billy Wynn, Bob Lawrence,
George McMaster, and Jesse Schaudis, some of the Frenchmen who
helped make the production sensational, enjoyed a stroll down the
Champs Elysees during the dancing. Mademoiselles Nan Scott and
Jane Wickham looked lovely in their Parisian gowns. Sue Walker,
Sue Peterson, Muriel Gear, Connie Major, and Mary Pritchett were
beaming wifffa their newly acquired pins reflecting the light in their
eyes.

Princess Ruth Whiting was breath-taking in her blue gown, orna-
mented by a brand-new ATO pin. Mademoiselle Sally Lambert and
her fiance seemed to enjoy themselves. Ah, c'est la vie . . . c'est
eharmant. Such a divine evening, and so many lovely people there!

P. S. The latest conquest: Shirley Ford has a tremendous diamond
as of Saturday night.

Wedding Bells Ring
For Smith, Jobson

Miss Betty Jean Smith, former
secretary to Mr. J. C. Tart, bus-
iness manager-treasurer, and sen-
ior resident of Cunningham cot-
tage, was married to Robert Job-
son at 4:30 p. m. Sunday in the
College Park Methodist Church.

The bride wore a traditional
white satin wedding gown with a
finger-tip veil. The bridesmaids'
dresses were of white faille, and
their bouquets were of pale pink
roses.

Caroline Crea, senior, sang at
the w r edding. Miss Lillian New-
man, assistant to the librarian,
and last year's residents of Cun-
ningham attended. ^^^^^

Professors Reveal
Many Enterprises
Outside Classroom

(From the Alumnae Quarterly)

In addition to teaching more
than 20,000 class hours in 1951,
the Agnes Scott faculty managed
to make the year a rich one in
academic achievement outside of
the classroom. Leadership in pro-
fessional organizations, appear-
ance in scholarly publications, the
pursuit of research and study, and
summer service on the faculties
of other institutions: these enter-
prises carried the names of Agnes
Scott teachers beyond the campus
boundaries and brought credit to
the college and to them. The
Quarterly, which carries on a con-
sistent effort to keep alumnae
posted on faculty doings, presents
here such news as it has been
able to glean from a notably mod-
est group.

Melissa A. Cilley, assistant

professor of Spanish, presided over
the Portuguese section of the
South Atlantic Modern Language
association when it met with Ag-
nes Scott and Emory as hosts in
November. She has been asked to
present a research paper on con-
temporary Spanish literature at
the annual University of Ken-
tucky Modern Language conven-
tion this spring.

Dr. Emily S. Dexter, associate
professor of philosophy and edu-
cation, is president-elect of the
Georgia Psychological association
and chairman of the elections
committee of the International
Council of Women Psychologists.
She taught last summer at Ala-
bama College.

Dr. Florene Dunstan, assistant
professor of Spanish, continued
her dual career as scholar and
doctor's wife, with a paper read
before the University Center Lan-
guage association in October and
a talk for the Woman's Auxiliary
to the Southern Medical associa-
tion in Texas the next month.

Students Attend NSA Meets
In Europe, South America

American students were represented this month by the
U. S. National Student Association (NSA) at two world
student conferences of vital importance in the quest for mu-
tual student understanding. The student meetings in Edin-
burgh, Scottland and Rio de Janiero, Brazil, were attended
by officers of the NSA.

At the first meeting in Edin-
burgh, Jan. 3-8, USNSA president
William T. Dentzer and NSA vice-
president of international affairs
Avrea Ingram, urged the estab-
lishment of an international secre-
tariat, limited strictly to admin-
istrative implementation and co-
ordination of the activities of na-
tional student unions for the ex-
change of information and student
personnel.

Dentzer said that NSA is "es-
pecially interested in setting up
a body that will coordinate the
activities of the Students Mutual
Assistance program (SMAP)."
The SMAP program each year
arranges for the sending of stu-
dents in technical studies in Amer-
ica and Europe to Southeast Asia,
Africa, and the 'Middle East.

The second International Stu-
dents conference at Edinburgh
was sponsored by the National
Union of Students of Canada and
Scotland.

The National Student Associa-
tion is the official voice of Ameri-
can students throughout the
world. More than 250 American
colleges and universities and 700,-
000 students are members of the
NSA.

The NSA president and inter-
national vice-president were also
present at the meeting of the Brit-
ish National Union of Students at
Nottingham, England. They pre-
sented the views of American stu-
dents as voted last summer at the
fourth National Student congress
in Minneapolis, Minn.

From Jan. 9-12, Dentzer and
Ingram traveled through Europe
and stopped at Paris, Berlin, and
Geneva. Ingram arranged for the
1952' NSA sponsored German sem-
inar while in Berlin. He also stop-
ped in Geneva at the office of the
World University Service, an in-
ternational student relief organ-
ization of which the NSA spon-
sorede World Student Service
Fund is the U. S. affiliate.

On January 13, Dentzer and In-
gram joined Miss Helen Jean Rog-
ers, former NSA executive secre-
tary, at the First Inter- American
student congress at Rio de Jan-
iero, Brazil. The meeting, which
continued through January 24,
was the first time in history that
all the national student unions of
the Americas held a joint meet-

"The American delegation work-
ed for the maximum amount of
cooperation to be achieved with
the South American student un-
ions at the conference," Dentzer
said. He also pointed out that
"there was a great deal of senti-
ment at the congress to support
the Brazilian request for the es-
tablishment of a Pan-American
Union of Students."

After the meeting Dentzer vis-
ited several South American cap-
itols with the American delega-
tion.

Dentzer returned to the United
States for a meeting of the Amer-
ican Council on Education in
Washington, Jan. 25-26. Then he
attended the third National con-
ference on UNESCO in New York,
Jan. 27-31. In February Dentzer
will be visting non-member schools
throughout the mid-west, south
and far west to explain the work
of the NSA.

Dentzer is a graduate of Mus-
kingum College, New Concord,
Ohio, and will enter the Woodrow
Wilson school at Princeton next
year. Ingram is a graduate of
Georgia Tech and is currently at-
tending Harvard. Released from
National Student Association.

on the basketball count Friday af-
ternoon with the sophomores edg-
ing out the seniors, 16-14, and
the juniors defeating the fresh-

The first game was nip and tuck
all the way wifh the outcome in
doubt until the last whistle blew.
Jeannine Byrd Hopkins and Helen
Jean Robarts were outstanding
for the senior team; Julia Grier
starred for the sophs.

The juniors got off to an early
lead in the second game and the

only break in the scoring came
when all six junior players were
called down for leaving the court
in the second half. Frosh Jane
Moye dropped three out of six
free shots.

Betty Jacks was also outstand-
ing on the freshman team.

Outstanding for the junior team

Lowry Interviews
Faculty Members

Dr. Howard Lowry, president of
the College of Wooster in Woos-
ter, Ohio, is on our campus today
interviewing members of the Ag-
nes Scott faculty who have re-
ceived, since 1947, Carnegie
Grants in Aid of Research. Each
recipient, and there are about 16,
will have a private interview with
Dr. Lowry during the day.

The object of the interview is
to learn something of the more
human side of the program; what
it has done for the recipient, and
what suggestions they have to
make concerning it. Dr. Lowry is
not so much concerned with the
technical knowledge gained as the
social aspects.

'American Artist' Features
Warren in Current Issue

"Ferdinand Warren an adventurer who boldly seeks* new
interpretations," comments Lamar Dodd in an article in the
February issue of "American Artist."

Accompanying the article discussing Mr. Warren, professor
of art, is his encaustic in color, "Shrimp Boats," done in 1951
as well as black and white repro-
ductions of five of his other paint-
ings. /

In the article, Mr. Warren re-
veals his philosophy of painting,
stating, "For me, inspiration
stems from reality. Feeling or
emotion inspired from reality is
the motivation for the desire to
create a desire to explain that
feeling or emotion through the
medium of painting rather than
the medium of words. Copying
nature would be futile, and the re-
sult would lack what I consider
the most important, most signif-
icant value in painting. That value
is the emotion which inspires and
empowers an artist to create. I
paint not what I see, but what I
feel about what I see."

Mr. Dodd, professor of art at
the University of Georgia, dis-
cussed the paintings, awards, and
life of Mr. Warren in the article.
"A man of moods, Warren has
painted a wide variety of subjects
in his newly-adopted home. He is

deeply stirred by the always
green, never-ending groves of
Geongia pine; the cotton fields;
the easy rhythmic grace and proud
dignity of the cotton pickers; the
unique haystacks; the North
Georgia mountains; and vividly
impressed by the fiery red sun."

In conclusion, Mr. Dodd says
that "Warren continues to search
and seek, experiment and discover
. . . This quality, together with
the freedom and honesty with
which his present work is done, is
resulting in works of art that are
truly creative and inspiring."

To Humanities Club

The Emory Humanities club is a
group of Emory and neighboring
institution professors who are in-

guages, art, philosophy, and his-
tory. Agnes Scott is host to the
club once each year at one of the
monthly meetings. On Monday,
Feb. 4, the club meeting was held
in Murphey Candler at 7:30 p. m.
The speaker was Dr. Ernest Col-

the girls won individual placing;
Harriet winning second place on
the negative side.

The tournament was held at
West Georgia College in Carroll-
ton. Thursday night John Mason
of the O. P. S. board in Atlanta,
lectured. There w<ere four de-
bates on Friday and one on Sat-
urday. The debaters attended an
informal dance Friday night.

Present at the tournament were
14 teams from seven colleges or
universities: Agnes Scott, Arm-
strong, Auburn, Emory, Emory-
at-Oxford, Georgia Tech, North
Georgia, and West Georgia. Both
Agnes Scott teams won three out
of five debates. The affirmative
defeated Auburn, Georgia Tech,
and North Georgia, losing to Em-
ory and Emory-at-Oxford. The
negative team defeated Emory,
Emory-at-Oxford, and Georgia
Tech, losing to Auburn and North
Georgia. Auburn and North Geor-
gia won the first two places on the
affirmative side, respectively.

This is the first tournament in
which these Agnes Scott debaters
have participated.

Committee Selects Sheppard
For Living, Travel in Europe

By Betsy Hodges

The campus community was delighted last week to learn
that Pnscilla Sheppard, '53, had been chosen as Agnes Scott's
representative this year in the Experiment in International
.Living.

The experiment, with headquarters in Putney, Vt sends
approximately 400 American col

lege students abroad each year.
The plan was conceived in 1932 by
Donald B. Watt, of Putney, who
believed that students here needed
a better understanding of life in
foreign lands.

A benefactor of Agnes Scott
college donates each year an
amount sufficient to send
one student to the country
of her choice. An admin-
istration committee selects an in-

the recipient, one whom the com-

the foundation's purpose of better-
ing relations with people of other
nations.

Sarah McKee received the
award in 1950, spending the great-
er part of her time in France.
Last year Muriel Gear went to
England and then travelled on the
Continent.

Pnscilla, a history-political sci-
ence major from Laurens, S. C.,
has applied for England. She has
no details on the program yet, but
will probably leave New York in
mid-June. After a nine-days'
crossing she will live for foui
weeks with an English family
having a member near her own
age. The Americans who go to the
same town will then take their
English friends on a tour of the
country, spend a week in London,
and travel on the Continent for

the rest of the allotted three-
month period. She will return
soon after the opening of school
in September.

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

Last week you invited comment on the first installment
of the crusade for giving credit where credit is due. I would
like to add my support and to explain my reasons.

Most of the campus is agreed that the tradition of infor-
mally addressing all faculty members by the titles of Mr.,
Mrs., or Miss is a fine custom for the classroom or campus.
Few are anxious to uproot an established tradition when its
purpose is to promote an aura of friendliness and informality
on campus. However, if some professors are called "Dr."
while others with the same degree are, inconsistently, called
"Miss," the whole purpose of the custom is defeated. What-
ever practise we follow we should be consistent. If one doc-
tor is called Mr., Mrs. or Miss, all doctors should be referred
to in the same manner.

Then, too, many of us agree that informality should not be
taken to the extreme. In the school publications, especially
in the News, the proper titles should definitely be used. It
is not fair nor is it correct to drop the Dr. from the name
of a professor who has earned his degree. The practice must
be puzzling, to say the least, to off-campus readers of the
college publications.

Therefore this is one more vote for continuing the custom
of using familiar titles informally for all faculty members
on campus while employing the proper titles on all other
occasions. P. S.

In Praise of a Machine

The Alumnae office has just completed a questionnaire
of the class of 1948 concerning the relationships of subjects
studied and present jobs. I wonder how many have made use
of that marvelous machine known as the typewriter. What
would we do without it? How many students took a class in
typing in high school? How many more have enrolled in the
class offered here at Agnes Scott? And how many countless
numbers more have wished that they had? Doubtless the
figures would be astonishing even to the most cynical.

There are so many uses for the typewriter. It is marvelous
for themes, particularly when handwriting is poor; news-
paper and annual material must be typed to be acceptable
to the printers; letters, both business and private, may be
and often are, typed. Then think of all the time that is saved
by using the typewriter rather than by writing long-hand
when the user employs the touch system. In fact, there are
so many uses and good points to the typewriter that the com-
paratively simple task of changing a ribbon seems negligible.
We say three cheers for the typewriter, its inventor, and
users. B. W.

Painters Invade Sanctity
Of Home and its Treasures

By Marion Merritt

The most awful thing has happened at our house. Mother
decided to have the man come to paint. We had the outside
painted once upon a time, and the living room last year, but
that was a simple matter. We just moved anything that
happened to be leaning against the house when they painted
the outside, and when they paint-

sor of art, taught in Canada last
summer and was a member of an
art panel for the Virginia High
lands Festival of Arts and Crafts.

Dr. Emma May Laney was
elected president of the Atlanta
English club, the local chapter of
the National Council of English
Teachers, in December.

Mrs. Adolph Lapp, assist-
ant professor of physical educa-
tion, enjoyed teaching a large
number of children to swim last
summer some of them the off-
spring of Agnes Scott alumnae.

Dr. Ellen Douglass Leyburn
published an article, "Swift's
View of the Dutch," in Publica-
tions of the Modern Language
Association in September, and
read a paper, "Satiric Allegory
in Animal Stories," at the SAM-
LA meeting in November. At
Christmas she enjoyed a week of
theatergoing in New York, where
she was lucky enough to see the
Oliviers in the two Cleopatra
plays.

Michael MicDowell, professor of

instructor in piano, gave several

Georgia and 'the opener of the

ed 'the living room, we just shov-
ed the chairs and things into the
center of the room and flung a
sheet over that, and then they
painted it. After two such happy
experiences, we had little to
dread, we thought. Just the other
day, Mother said' casually, "I
think I'll let that nice man come
back and paint the rest of the
house." He really was a nice man.
He knew all the inside dope about
everyone in Atlanta, and told it
all with hardly any encourage-
ment. We enjoyed having him
very much.

So it was as easy as that. Then
Mother called him, and he came,
and he said 'he would come again
Monday and paint. That was Fri-
day. We had been so happy un-
til Friday. Then it dawned on
us. Someone from the outside
world was going to go poking
around in our cupboards and
shelves and closets and drawers!
We started looking around and
we have had an awful shock. You
know those people that are ec-
centric recluses or whatever you
call 'em and one day the police
break in the house and find them
babbling over 40 years' collection
of string, and newspapers and
bottle caps and cancelled stamps?

Well we are really normal peo-
ple, but you wouldn't think so.
There are the strangest things
tucked around in odd places in
our house. If anyone were to
come in and find them after we
were dead and gone there would
be definite doubts about us. For
instance there is a black ostrich
plume and a silver tiara sort of
thing right in with my mother's
best gloves and hankies. Now

neither one of us are the ostrich
plume and tiara type, but they
just happen to be there. Then
down in the basement, as you
come down the steps, there's a
huge sign that says VOTE FOR
SARA. It is striking, to say
the least, but not too useful since
1948. If anyone knows of a Sara
who is running for anything,,
we'd be just so happy to oblige.

There's a stack of National Ge-
ographies that my grandmother
saved. Having a rather reverent
nature, my mother can't bring
herself to throw them out, and I
suppose someday, that I'll have

Class of '48 Poll
Shows High Rating
In AS Marriages

The Alumnae office has just
completed a questionnaire of the
class of 1948. Of the 114 mem-
bers, 72 are married, 23 have mas-
ter's degrees, and 30 are following
some career. Teaching seems to
be the most popular occupation,
with advertising second. Of the
others who are working, some are
in the field of religious education,
others are buyers for department
stores, airline hostesses, chemists,
recreational leaders and secreta-
ries. Several are in nursing school.
The alumnae of this class are
spread over three continent's:
North America, Europe, and Asia.

The results of this question-
naire will be used in a publication
to show the relationship between
the courses that the student stud-
ies at Agnes Scott and the work
that she does after graduation.

Postman Delivers Big News
Of Scotties Gay Goin's-On

By MARJI HENDERSON, Guest Editor

Dear Scottie,

What a week-end! Parties, parties, parties!

Friday night the SAE's at Tech gave their winter formal. Nancy
Whetstone, Caroline Lester, Mary Newell Rainey, Marian McElroy,
Frankie Marbury, and Lib Grafton looked mighty fetching in their
beautiful formals.

Lovelier than lovely was Virginia Lee Floyd in her white formal
trimmed in pink and silver at the Sigma Chi Sweetheart ball at
Emory as she received the trophy and pin along with the title of
Sweetheart of Sigma Chi. Congratulations Ginny Lee! Among the
sweethearts at the formal were Jane Zuber, Jackie Josey, Lou Wo-
mack, Dele Thompson, Phyllis Fisher, Flo Hand, and the sweetheart
of '51, Harriette Potts.

The ATO pledges at Tech gave a Western party at Fritz Orr's Sat-
urday night. Dancing, playing cards, and looking very much like
Dudes were Cissy Schor, Barbara Yowell, Sidney Newton, Vallie
Burnett, Carolyn Tinklepaugh, Liz Lloyd and Patti Boring.

The Pi Kappa Phi's also chose a sweetheart this weekend. None
other than Mary Jo Chapman. Congratulations!

Those who didn't attend formals or parties this weekend were
seen at the Sadler's Wells ballet enjoying a wonderful performance
of "Coppellia!" Ann Parker, Ann Herman, Winnie Strozier, Amy
Cronin, Mildred Gaston, Francis Sistar, B. J. MeCastlain, Gwynn
Davis, Trudy Aubrey, Ann Turnipseed, and Connie Curry were
among those attending.

Pins, rings, and wedding department. Bet Linton and John Alexan-
der, a. Phi Delt from Davidson, were pinned this weekend. Nancy
Whetstone is pinned to an SAE, and Grace Kane has a Sigma Nu
pin. Nancy de Armond got a ring Saturday night. Best wishes to all.

Marian Callaham, a former Mary Sweeter, was married Saturday
night in St. Mark's Methodist Church. Beth Dugan was a bridesmaid
and 1 Mildred Kater sang. All of Mary Sweet attended . . . Don't
worry, girls! We'll get there one of these days! Just remember
Agnes Scott girls do get married ( eventually ).-

All this, and several tons more

Open House Thurs.

Open House will be in Mur-

ment and first floor will be open
to faculty and students; bridge,
canasta, and refreshments will be
the order of the day.

Murphey Candler is open to
everyone at all times but there
has been little use of the build-
ing, except for an occasional meet-
ing of some kind, by anyone other
than those students who smoke.
This party is being sponsored by
those who use the smoker to in-
vite everyone here to use the stu-
dent building freely. It is hoped
that all the members of the col-
lege community will come out to
enjoy the afternoon, ami feel in
the future that Murphey Candler
belongs to them.

Juniors, Freshmen
Lose Contests
To Sister Classes

By ADALIXE MILLER

In the most exciting game in
many a day the seniors defeated
the juniors 28-19, while the sopho-
mores beat the freshmen 15-14.

The seniors got off to an early
lead with Winnie Strozier making
most of the baskets. After the
first quarter the junior guards
settled down and kept the seniors
from increasing the score. The
half-time score was 17-5.

In the second half Mary Beth
Robinson, Carol Jacob, and Bar-
bara West of the junior team dis-
played excellent teamwork. This
enabled the juniors to bring their
score within five points of the
seniors'. Both junior and senior
guard groups improved in the sec-
ond half, limiting the scores on
both sides. The seniors' accurate
shots enabled them to defeat the
juniors by a 9-point margin.

"The second game was a thrill-
er," commented a spectator. The
guards on both teams kept the
score consistently even. The fresh-
men took the lead in the first
half, ending the quarter with a
2-0 score. Sophomore player El-
inor Taylor evened the score up
in the second quarter.

In the last half each team scor-
ed several times. The neck-an&-
neck race ended in a 15-14 vic-
tory for the sophomores.

Wells guards sophomore Barbara Mason. Arms fly as

AA Adopts 'Blackout Plan
For Extra-Curricular Sports

By Marian McElroy

Athletic association has adopted the "Blackout Plan." Mod-
elled on a plan used successfully by the Woman's College
of North Carolina, this idea enables every girl to participate
in all or chosen extra-curricular sports for the advantage of
her class. In the end, the total effect will be that the classes
working together, each for each.

In the case of our "Blackout"
plan, the blackout is not to be of
a town or city, but rather of a big
sheet of white cardboard down in
the gym on the bulletin board. On
this sheet of cardboard are the
names of every girl, arranged by
classes; alongside each name are
spaces which are to be blacked out
after three hours participation per
sport per quarter. The listed
sports are basketball, tennis
swimming, badminton, ping pong,
horse-back riding, hiking, bicycl-
ing, and a new addition, bridge.

The class having the most com-
plete class participation as seen
on this chart will receive a size-
able number of points towards
the sports cup given at the end
of spring quarter. The sports
cup itself counts towiardis the
spirit cup. So far, the sophomores
are ahead in the race for the
sports cup with 25 points which
a tie for the hockey championship
and a win in the swim meet gave
them. The juniors are a close sec-
ond with 23 points, the seniors are
third, and the freshmen fourth.

This new program is more or
less on a trial basis this year, but
if it is successful, next year the
program will be conducted on a
three-quarter, over-all basis. Next
year's three-quarter span will per-
haps be considered of greater im-
portance than this year's two-
quarter trial. However, this is the
time when we must prove its val-
ue. The value of "Blackout" lies
in the stimulation it will give to

campus athletics and to the in-
dividual value each girl will re-
ceive both for herself and for her
class.

With Recital Monday Night

Raymond J. Martin, associate professor of music, in cooper-
ation with the department of music, will present an organ
recital Monday, Feb. 18, at 8 p. m. in Presser Hall. This will
be the second recital of Mr. Martin, and first of this quarter's
programs sponsored by the music department.

The program, which begins with

Trueblood Answers
Communist Threat

18th century music and closes
with 20th century Vierne, will in-
clude "Psalm XIX (Exaudiat te
Dominu," by Marcello, a trans-
cription for organ by Alexander
Guilmemt of one of the 50 Psalms
written by Marcello for voices,
with violin and violincello obli-
gati; "Recite de Tierce en taille",
by Nicolas de Grigny, a solo on
the tierce stop executed in the
tenor part (taLlle), and accom-
panied by soft stops; "Fugue in
G (a la Gigue)," by J. S. Bach,
Written for the double keyboard
Pedal Cembalo, an instrument in
great vogue during Bach's life-
time.

(Mr. Martin will also play Cho-
ral Prelude: "Schmucke dich, o
liebe Seelo." by Johannes Brahms,
a setting of a chorale used in the
Lutheran Communion service ;
"Sixth Symphony," allegro and
adagio movements, by Charles
Marie Widor, who taught at the
Paris Conservatory, was a mem-
ber of the Academie, and was or-
ganist at St. Sulpice. Among Wi-
dor's works are 10 symphonies, or
sonatas, for organ, in which he
made full use of the magnificent
tonal quality of the modern
French organ. Oliver Messiaen,

A philosophy, a program, and a
passion are the three ingredients
for an affirmative answer to com-
munism according to Dr. Elton
Trueblood in his first lecture on
campus Monday night in Gaines
auditorium. Without these three
things we cannot hope to success-
fully fight the communist men-
ace as it is now recognized
throughout the Western part of
the world. f

We are living in a new kind of
time, which is one of neither peace
nor war, but in between the two.
The people of the world have had
experience living in both times of

Dr. Trueblood continued by
pointing out the great success
which communism has had in the
34 years since it was bom during
the Russian revolution in 1917. He
states that there are two_reasons
for this success: the Marx-Lenin-
ism doctrine of liberation for the
down-trodden, and the hardbitten,
disciplined society at the core of
the party. In short, idealism for
the many, discipline for the few.
The result of this program is that

The Agnes Scott Dance Group, with the assistance of the
Glee club, will present Tschaikovsky's "Sleeping Beauty"
ballet on Feb. 26 in Presser Hall. The ballet was introduced
to this country by Anna Pavlov and her company after its
presentation in St. Petersburg, Russia, to Alexander III and
his court. It is the familiar story

of the awakening of a princess, by
her prince, upon the fulfillment of
a curse of 100 years of sleep. The

Papageorge Has Lead

Emory Faculty Group
To Give 'Madwoman'

By Caroline Reinero

Three years ago a group of Emory faculty members, their
wives, and their friends began meeting together to read
plays. The group had no organization; the members were
people who liked the drama. This year they are presenting
their second production, "The Madwoman of Chaillot," by
Jean Giraudoux, adapted by Mau-

rice Valency.

The play is being directed by
Mrs. Richard Hocking, wife of an
Emory- professor and initiator of
the play-reading group Pierre
Thomas, acting assistant profes-
sor of French, and Miss Roberta
Winter, assistant professor of
speech, are participating in the
play from Agnes Scott, and also
Mrs. Neva Webb, a graduate and
former speech instructor at Ag-
nes Scott. Mr. Thomas plays the
pairt of a deaf mute, and Miss
Winter and Mrs. Webb are two of
the madwoman's friends. Dr.
Evangeline Papageorge, an Em-
ory professor and Agnes Scott
graduate, has the leading role of
the madwoman.

"The Madwoman of Chaillot" is

a kind of poetic and comic fable
set in the twilight zone of the
not-quiite-true. John Lardner has
9aid of the play: ,4 M. Giraudoirx's
play is the stuff that dreams are
made of, the dreams of the good-
humored, intelligent dreamer with
with a social conscience. His
madwoman of the Chaillot quar-
ter of Paris a lady of gentle
birth who stopped following life
very closely in the year 1904
is suddenly stimulated by her poor
friends and neighbors to identify
all the evils of the world with
big business."

One of the madwoman's clos-
ing lines is: "Nothing is ever so
wrong in this world that a sensi-
ble woman can't set it right in

AS Students Attend
Presbyterian Meet
In Statesborp

The state conference of the
Westminster Fellowship of the
Synod' of Georgia was held at
Georgia State Teachers College
at S^atesboro this past weekend.
The Agnes Scott students attend-
ing this conference were Margaret
McRae, past president; Belle Mil-
ler, treasurer; Pat Patterson,
Nancy Lee, Louise Hill, Mitzi
Dews, and Genevieve Guardia.

The theme of the conference
was "Attaining Christian Matur-
ity." There were three talks by
the chief speaker, Dr. Albert Kis-
sling of the Riverside Presbyteri-
an Church of Jacksonville, Fla.,
on this subject on Friday night,
Saturday night, and Sunday morn-
ing. These talks were followed
by panel discussions.

On Saturday afternoon five re-
source sessions were conducted by
student workers. The topics con-
cerned were devotional life, con-
frontation, Bible study, cell
groups, and ecumendes. Dr. Sam
Burney Hay of Stillman College,
assisted in the discussions. The
conference began with supper Fri-
day and ended Sunday at noon.

Louise Hill of Agnes Scott was
elected vice moderator of the Sy-
nod at the conference.

Two More Days

Religious Emphasis week is approximately half over. Mon-
day night Dr. Trueblood began his leadership of this week
with a thoughtful and thought-provoking lecture about "An
Affirmative Answer to Communism." Our task is not easy,
as he 'so compellingly emphasized. Yet it must begin some-
where, sometime. Here is the where, now is the time. Chris-
tians must understand and cherish their Christianity if it is
to grow into effective opposition to Communism.

This week should be our beginning, if we have not already
begun. Here, with the inspiring guidance of Dr. Trueblood,
we have opportunity to discuss our doubts, ideas, problems,
our faith, and hear those of others. We cannot afford to
treat RE week like any other week.

If you have missed the meetings of this week, you have
missed more than an opportunity you have missed an
answer for life which you greatly need. It is not too late,
even now. Today is Wednesday; don't lose Thursday and
Friday, too. A. B.

Hearts and Flowers

Tomorrow may be an "eye-opener" if you're a recent arriv-
al on the campus. Maybe it's an old Decatur custom, we don't
know. But we think you should be warned in advance.

February 14 was a special day to most of us about 15 years
ago when we used to work hard for weeks before, cutting out
red hearts and pasting on lace ruffles. It was lots of fun
back then, but we out-grew that sort of thing. And then came
February 14, 1950. A grim, never-to-be-forgotten day. People
were up and on the way to Buttrick and the post office at
the crack of dawn. Horribly fascinated, we followed. Every-
one there was screaming and jumping up and down, ripping
open envelopes. And the package window was a good illus-
tration of a mob in action. Everyone was in a frenzy. It was
either "from George in Houston" or "look what that precious
Charlie at Auburn sent me! (squeal, squeal!)." Lots of people
had packages from home, full of surprises and goodies.

Blowing out the dust of Box 271 we retired, genuinely
crestfallen, making a mental note to write extra-affection-
ate-Christmas-present-thank-you-notes to relatives rather
late next year, and to slip off to Threadgill's later in the
day when no one was looking.

This is just a little friendly reminder. You can still make
the local mail. After all,who wants to be an outcast? B. H.

Dr. Trueblood

(Continued from page 1)

energy which does not worry the
Kremlin in the slightest. We
must learn to express our beliefs,
be able to explain our heritage
and doctrines, and know why we
have come to believe as we do.
Clear thinking and precise speech
are two prerequisites for our own
affirmative program. We need
the faith of our traditions and de-
votiom to our inheritance and the
life we prize to worry the Krem-
lin, according to Dr. Trueblood.

The Bible and its teachings ex-
press many of the tilings we pro-
fess to believe, many of which
have only recently been put into
practice . It took 1800 years for

slavery 'to be abolished; it took
1900 for women to become any-
where near the equals of men; we
are still striving to obtain equal
opportunity for all, no matter
what color, race, or creed. So of-
ten we say we believe one thing,
then act in the opposite manner.
We confuse the very people we are
trying to convince. Christ, if we
honestly live as He taught, is the
most revolutionary love and way
of life in the world.

The program which we must
put into immediate practice, says
Dr. Trueblood', includes under-
standing our position, making it
clear, giving it our passionate de-
votion, and presenting it before all
the world. This is our affirma-
tive answer to communism.

Large Group Sees
Modern Tempest'

By Barbara West

Simple staging and very effect-
ive lighting were two of the best-
liked portions of Shakespe are's
'The Tempest" as presented by
the London Repertory company
Saturday night to a full house in
Gaines auditorium. Students, fac-
ulty, and visitors all felt the pow-
er of the varied lighting shown
in the backdrop while wondering
aloud how the effeot was achieved.

The production was most com-
plete, particularly for a .traveling
company. Those familiar with* (the
play noticed the omission of sev-
eral minor characters, whose
speeches were given to others or
cut completely. Much of the fourth
and fifth acts was omitted; the
first and second acts and the
third and fourth acts of the orig-
inal play were combined in this
production. A shortened and more
enjoyable play was the result.

Good and Bad

Most of the actors revealed tal-
ent and understanding of their
roles, while others were less good.
Joseph Ruskin as Prospero, Mau-
reen Toal as Ariel, and David
Hooks as Caliban, the monster,
were outstanding in sympathetic
portrayals of their roles. Each
seemed to live his part, 'and 'the
play will be remembered by the
majority of people for these ex-
cellent interpretations. The play-
ers who added little to the per-
formance were Stephen Laird as
Alonso and Robert Canto as Se-
ba stain, who was stiff in his role.

The comedy of Trinculo, .the
jester (Milo O'Shea), and Ste-
phano, the drunken butler (Jerry
Ansbacher) added much enjoy-
ment to the evening's perform-
ance. The comic spiirt of these
parts gave -a touch of lightness of
the play and variety in the humor.
Each seemed red-axed in his part
and each seemed to enjoy his role.

leap year play.

Cupid Gets Helping Hand
From Merritt's Verses

By Marion Merritt

February is here, and though the wintry winds are blow-
ing, a spotter at the city airport was really disturbed today
to see a wee cherub, flying through the air, with no diapers
on! He was pretty upset, as you would have been too, if you
had been expecting a DC-6 or something normal like that.
However, he took a glance at his )

Valentine Verses or Current Prat-
tle and How to Phrase It.

First of all, of course, you must
dash off something to your lover.
If you are like me, and gave him
one genuine hand-knitted sock for
Christmas, now r is your chance to
do better. By the way, is there
anyone who doesn't have much to
do this quarter, who would like to
knit a sock? I'll furnish wool and
instructions and pay on a commis-
sion basis. Send bids 'to Box 250.

To get back to the lover. He's
no doubt in a frenzy of excite-
ment over the great day, and all
at witter over Valentine's, and you
really must do something so that
his little dreams won't be smash-
ed. A Valentine verse from you is
what he needs.
For instance:

Roses are red,
Jonquils are yellow.
Ge, baby,

You're my fav'rite fellow!
You can see 'that this will just
thrill him to pieces. Or you might
try:

The sheep's in the meadow,
The cows in the corn,
Without you, dearies, Id be
Lovelorn.
After polishing off the steady-
beau, you might try one for the
kid you wish you had c4n the
string. Valentine's is dandy for
any little hints 'along this line.
Something subtle is the ticket.
Roses are red,
Kissing is fun,
The phone is Dearborn
Two-five-seven-one !
Now for the procedure of mak-
ing; Valentines. I whipped one
up last night, and I'm telling- you,
it ain't easy. Here's the recipe:
29 pieces of paper
1 bottle of red paint
1 pair of scissors
1 paint brush
assorted ribbons and other

doodads
1 bottle of glue
1 first aid kit.
Now cut out a heart, and paint

Seen Through a Hays

Ye Keyhole Snooper Gives
Report of Detective Bureau

By SABA SWAXSON, Guest Editor

This was a fairly tame weekend, as far as most of Miss Agnes'
clients were concerned. The regular staff of Snoopers handled 'the
job quite well, and ino outside help was needed.

The first complaints I heard were from Mrs. Hatfield, the dieti-
tian. It seems that one of her best ice trays is missing. Try as I
would, I could find no motive for the theft; but I accidentally stum-
bled upon the culprit', and was nearly blinded in Uhe action, when I
discovered LaWahna Ragdon wearing one of the biggest pieces of ice
seen hereabouts on her third finger, left hand. Her accomplice was
no other than Mr. Hugh Smdsson.

The Delta Tau Deltas had a big weekemd at both Tech and Emory.
On Friday night the Emory Delts had a formal, where Peggy Burgess,
Lucy Murray, and Savannah Byrd were observed making merry,
through the transom. I had better luck at the Tech Delt house, how-
ever. Their doorman let me in just long enough to observe three
Agnes Scott girls who are candidates for Sweetheart there Carolyn
Randolph, Genny Luchese, and Hannah Jackson and some of their
friends, Connie Curry, Donya Dixon, Joann Barrett, and Peggy
PfieffVr.

The next stop in my sleuthing expedition was the Alpha Tau Omega
house at Tech. I only got into the outside lobby, amd I'm sure some
others were inside; but there I observed Bunny Hall, Lib and Letty
Grafton, Cissie Schor, and Carolyn Tinklepaugh.

Still at Tech, I visited the Delta Sigma Phi's. The president there
is an accomodating person., so I got a Ml account of the proceedings,
and noticed that Jeanne Levie, Joan Pruitt, Margaret Rogers, Alice
Nunnaly, Jackie Pfarr, and Deche Armstrong seemed to be having a
fine time.

Pajama Party

At Emory, the Kappa Alphas were having a pajama party so nat-
urally I had to investigate. Cynthia Carso, Betty Rainey, Pat Waters,
and Kathryn Cumbee were there, all wide awake and in fine spirits.

On the way back to Miss Agnes', I passed the Central Congrega-
tional Chiurch, and who was there but Dorothy Sands, having a fine
time at their square dance!

Back at headquarters, I learned that Betsy Hill had slipped) one
over on me in my absence, and was wearing a Sigma Chi pin. I also
learned that quite a few people had entertained visitors over the
weekend. Sara Rose, one of last year's freshmen, was here; and
Carolyn Crawford, Jo Ann Hall, Linda Smith, Martha Crowell, Anne
DeWitt, and Frances Summerville had company. Their gain made
up for the absence of Ann Walrath, Anne Evans, Genevieve Guardia,
Mary Lindsey, Sally Smith, and Pannie Cecil, who went home.

Last of all, I collected the reports of our out-of-town staff mem-
bers, -and they reported that Frances Cook, Phyllis Fisher, and Ann
Turnipseed were behaving themselves in Athens, while Jane Gaines,
Gladys Williams, Pat Patterson, Nancy Lee, and Ellen Griffin at-
tended the church conference in Statesboro. At Clemson, Sandra
Dickson, Jane Sutlive, and Mary Love L'Heureux had a marvelous
time at the mid-winter dances.

Friday Scores

Seniors Top Frosh 35-21;
Juniors, Sophs Tie 33-33

By Calico

The seniors, after getting off to a slow start in last Friday'^
basketball contest, came through to wallop the freshmen
35-21. The first quarter was comparatively slow as both
teams were warming up. However, both teams were passing
well, breaking well and showing good floor work.

The freshmen made a comeback
the second quarter paced by Mary
Evelyn Knight. The tight senior
defense caused the frosh squad to
try long set- shots. That quarter
the freshman guards were death
to the senior forwards. Half-time
score was I'D-?, in favor of the sen-
iors. They held the lead to the
end; Winnie Strozier and Helen
Jean Robarts, both extremely fast
and shifty forwards, couldn't miss
the basket As a whole, the fresh-
man team showed great improve-
ment; they have been playing un-
der the disadvantages of inexperi-
ence and changed rules.

The junior - sophomore game,
climaxed by the final desperate
spurt of the underdog sophs, re-
sulted in a 33-33 tie. As in the
first gjame, the first quarter show-
ed the two teams to be pretty well
matched, with little excitement. In
the second quarter the junior for-
wards showed fine teamwork and
piled up many points. Anne Thom-
son, junior guard, outbroke the
sophomore forwards time and
again to gain possession of the
ball. The sophomores had pretty
passing but were not able to work
in toward the basket.

Superior Height

Due to itheir superior height the
junior forwards were able to con-
trol the backboard. The third
quarter was a repetition of 'the
second; the juniors outplayed and
ouitipodnted the sophs again.

Going into the final quarter on
the short end of the 25-13 count,
the sophomore team came to life.
Harriet te Potts and Joree Walker,
sophomore guards, batted the ball
out of enemy territory with 'amaz-
ing frequency into the hands of
their waiting teammates. The ac-
curate forwards, led by Elinor
Taylor, converted each opportun-
ity into a score.

Outstanding for the juniors
were Mary Beth Robinson and
Carol Lou Jacob, forwards. Junior
Mary Beth and freshman! Peggy
Pfieffer both sank several very
long shots.

'King of Swing Will Appear
In Atlanta Symphony Concert

Benny Goodman, "The King of Swing", will appear in At-
lanta on Thursday evening, Feb. 21, as soloist with the At-
lanta Symphony Orchestra, Henry Sopkin, conductor. Com-
bining classicism and jazz, Mr. Goodman will play the We-
ber Concerto and such puplar favorites as ''I Only Have Eyes
for Ygu," "The Henderson Stomip :

"Dizzy Fingers," and "Intermez-
zo." This is the first Atlanta ap-
pearance for the well-known art-
ist.

Goodman, who retired two years
ago to devote his entire time to
classical music, could not stay out
of the jazz picture for long.
Aroused by new ideas and a new
conception of popular music, he
emerged to recreate a sensation
in the orchestra world. His "Be-
Pop," intense, strange and com-
pelling, is symbolic of the world
today. His interpretations of the
classics, on the other hand, ac-
claimed by critics as tops in the
field of clarinet playing, follow
the most rigid and time honored
artistic traditions. In Atlanta Mr.
Goodman will have a chance to
demonstrate his great versatility
in both of these fields in a concert
of wonderful contrasts. The or-
chestra will follow through with
this idea, offering such opposites

Feb. 26 at 8 p. m. Eugenie Dozier,
instructor in physical education, is
director of the Dance (giroup.

The story of "Sleeping Beauty"
is the familiar one of the child^-
hood storybooks. The first act
of the Agnes Scott production is
the christening of the baby "Prin-
cess, at which the Bad Fairy puts
a spell on the baby. The Good
Fairy then lightens the spell, say-
ing that the Princess will not die
from the spindle prick, but will
only slumber until a brave Prince
saves her with his love.

The second act takes place 16
years later, when the Princess
pricks her finger and falls under
the spell. The pages are also af-
fected with sleep and a magic
hedge envelopes the castle.

In the first scene of the third
act Puss in Boots and White Cat
discuss the Princess' plight and
g^ve warning of the Prince's ap-
proach. The second scene con-
cludes the ballet, and is the awak-
ening of Sleeping Beauty by the
Prince, with the usual happy end-

Ivory Tower

International affairs are growing ever more complicated
with the passing of each day. In the past month many small
and large incidents have caused much worry and anxiety to
the people of the world. Yet most of us sit in our "ivory tow-
er" and pay no attention to these tumultous events. Ap-
proximately three dozen students subscribe to the Atlanta
Journal on campus. Several dozen more receive their home-
town newspapers, but these do not constitute the majority
of Agnes Scott students. This means that most of us do not
have the slightest idea of what is happening in the outside
world.

If we are to have a world in which to live when college
days are over, then we must begin to learn today just what
is happening and why the world is in the mess it is. Students
no longer can sit in an "ivory tower" and expect all to be
well; we are at least partly responsible for the outcome of
events in the world. Without a working knowledge of events
today, tomorrow's decisions cannot be made.

There are several ways by which we may increase our
knowledge of the world. Daily reading of one good newspa-
per, including editorials, is a must. Reading a good news
magazine each week enables you to summarize recent events.
Listening to news broadcasts every day is imperative to
understand daily events. Above all, discussions with friends
as well as adults will improve understanding and clarify
thinking for all those participating. "Ivory towers" do not
last forever. Why not shed yours now and learn about the
world in which you live. B. W.

'House of Travel' Announces
Low-Priced Tour of Europe

The dream of a low-priced quality non-escorted tour to
Europe within a college student's budget can now be realiz-
ed, with the creation of a new individually-packaged tour,
leaturing 10 days in Europe for $100, which includes hotel
accommodations, three daily meals, tips, land transporta-
tion, and complete sight-seeing by

motor coach, with a choice of nine
d tine paries covering eight Euro-
pean countries.

Of igreat appeal to the student
traveler is the freedom offered in
this plan. Being an independent
tour, there is no regimentation
with a group.

The nine itineraries are broken
down into six of 10 days each and
three of five days, with unlimited
possibilities offered for different
combinations and groupings. The
inclusive cost is $10 a day, with a
small additional change to cover
the actual cost of transportation
between the end of one 10-day
itinerary and the beginning of an-
other.

The $100 tours, created by a spe-
cial department in New York's
"House of Travel," will be sold to
the public through over 2000 trav-
el agents throughout the United
States and Canada. Pre-paid tick-
ets, insuring reservations and cov-
ering all facilities abroad, will be
issued to clients upon purchase of
the tour.

Quality in all accommodations
and facilities has been stressed
with the selection of comfortable,

centrally-located hotels, the pro-
vision of three full meals every
day, and standard second-class
rail transportation on the Con-
tinent. Uniformed interpreters
meet the traveler and escort him
to and from railroad stations, air
terminals and hotels.

The 10-day itineraries, of which
there are six, are grouped as fol-
lows: England and Scotland; Hol-
land, Belgium and Paris; France
and the Riviera; the Rhine valley
and the Low Countries (Holland,
Belgium and Luxembourg) ; Swit-
zerland; and Italy. The three
five-day trips encompass London
and its environs as one unit; Paris
and vicinity as another; and Na-
ples, Sorrento, Amalfi and Capri
as the third. The flexibility of
the plan is such that the traveler
can arrange as many combina-
tions of itineraries as he wishes,
with the minimum of duplication
in trips.

A partial list of hotels to be
used includes Hotel Kenilworth,
London; Hotel Parioli, Rome; Ho-
tel Jura, Lucerne; Hotel L'Ocean,
Paris; Villa Igea at Sorrento; Ho-
tel Splendide, Venice. From

Spirit Yearns For Release
From Unexciting 'Familiar

By Jane Landon, Guest Feature Editor

I mentioned to The Provider at our house that I simply had
to leave the drab and familiar, that my spirit cried out for
new experience, that my whole being yearned for a trip to
Europe this summer. Father glanced away from Foster Dul-
les, who was solving world problems via TV (TV being that
great invention which is taking '

the place of A's and B's around
home), and said, in the impressive
voice he's cultivated since joining
Toast-masters International, "Tra-
vel is broadening, and believe me,
you don't need to be any broader
than you are now." Another 'ap-
proach bit the dust.

Ever since I started reading
"Holiday" I've felt the urge to
go somewhere, anywhere Lake
Como, the Left Bank, Diamond
Head and Mauna Loa, Nova Sco-
tia, Crater Lake, Acapulco . . .
I'm not choosy. It goes on and
on /they publish, I perish. But I
decided that immediate action, not
passive resistance, was my only
hope of getting away from Atlanta
this summer, away from my dully
prosaic home into the mystically
romantic wide open spaces.

At first I was a dreamer. I put
an ad in the paper: "Will amuse
children in back seat of new Cadil-
lac if parents wish to enjoy peace-
ful trip. No objections to traveling

Compliments of Auburn

Biblical Spectacles Inspire
New Plet: 'Quotha Vadis'

"Fabiola" has come and gone. If nothing else, it was fabu-
lous. My good friends Dee Caruso and Gene Rosi, students at
Syracuse University, recently collaborated on an extrava-
ganza titled "Quotha Vadis," in which they sum up pretty
well the religious doctrines of H'wood. To wit:

In the beginning was the word

and the word was spectacle. Hol-
lywood has once algain discovered
there is money in old Bibles and
has unleashed a series of colossal
monstrosities depicting events of
earth-shattering magnitude, the
like of which haven't been seen
on the screen since the last days
of Pompeii.

Such pictures as "Quo Vadis,"
"Samson and Delilah," "Fabiola,"
and "David and Bathsheba," work-
ing on a budget only surpassed by
the national debt, have besides
solving the unemployment prob-
lem on the west coast attracted
more paying parishioners than :any
previous religious movement in
this country.

Realizing the potentialities of
such a trend, we have formulated
a modern epic of such splendor
that, weather permitting, it should
ourgross all previous efforts. The
expected proceeds of this film
would be adequate in themselves
to finance another 10 years of in-
flation.

Picture title: "Quotha Vadis."

Cast: three million dispersed
holy year pilgrims playing the role
of eight million holy year pil-
grims; the Cleveland Browns foot-
ball team, all five strings, playing
the Phillistine Warriors; the New
York Philharmonic Orchestra, un-
der the direction of Dimitri Mit-
roupolis, playing Brigham Young
and his Mormon Brothers.

Sets: the city of San Diego,
which is a victim of a flood during
the second sequence; Grand Can-
yon, which will be filled by hand
by a tribe of Iroquois Indians bor-
rowed from the set of Republic

Pictures' "The Apache Raid;" the
pyramids of Egypt, transplanted
onto the Arizona desert this
project alone will take three years
and a parting o the Atlantic
Ocean., which will have been pre-
viously dyed red.

Locations: the greater part of
the action takes place on the For-
est Hills tennis courts. Other
close-ups will include shots from
Rome, inside Mount Vesuvius; the
city of Babylon, which was de-
stroyed in 422 BC and will have to
be restored, and a realistic 100
feet of film of the earth as it looks
from the planet Mars.

Colors: use of new color tech-
nique Black and white film with
technicolor people. This is accom-
plished by employing only those
actors who have appeared in so
many technicolor films they've be-
gun tp look that way.

Running: time: the seeing of the
Dicture in toto will require .the
better part of a week. A change
in the national economy may
prove necessary to keep the coun-
try's production at full scale. For
instance, children 10 years of age
vvould see a part of the picture
each week, so that when they
reach the age of 13 they will have
seen the complete film.

The scenario: the movie opens
with the hero, Cecil B. Zanuck, as
a Child fishing- in the English
Channel, which he has just cross-
ed. The year is 1588. On the hori-
zon 132 ships appear bearing 33,-
000 Spanish soldiers. Our hero,
disconsolate because the ships are
soaring away the fish, takes his
pole out of the water and heads

in Montana, Wyoming, or Califor-
nia." No results. I wrote to sev-
eral national parks saying that I
could wait on tables, make beds,
manufacture souvenirs, dress like
an Indian and sell souvenirs, or
take pictures of the bears in Yel-
lowstone Park. The Bar-Z re-
plied, saying that I could have a
job with them if I could sing
torch songs, repair slot machines,
and mix drinks. I thought that
everything out west that had a
Bar-something in the name was a
dude ranch. C'est la vie. I even
wrote the director of the Teton
Valley Ranch for Girls in Wyom-
ing. I told them that I couldn't
ride or swim or shoot bows and
arrows but I was really a whiz
bang when it came to Nature
Lore. Another party not heard
from.

I found, after subsequent in-
quiries, that the U. S. O. shows
had no demand for a flute soloist
doing Chopin's "Minute Waltz" in
53 seconds, that the American
Steamship Lines didn't need my
assistance in charting courses by
the North Star, and that I needed
some experience other than hav-
ing seen "The White Tower" to be
a qu ah tied guide for climbers of
the Matterhorn. Enough of these
rejections could have given me a
complex or something. The mul-
titude of opportunities offered to
enterprising young college stu-
dents who wished to improve their
minds through constructive travel
was gradually diminishing.

I wrote 25 words or less on why
I used chlorophyll soap because

In London we find the Great
Plague is destroying the popu-
lace; 68,000 dead lie in the streets;
13,200 houses are being destroyed
by fire in five colors. This is Lon-
don in an off-election year.

In 1756 Cecil enters the Uni-
versity of Calcutta. During a rug-
by game the Viceroy attacks the
British settlement. His men are
throwing all British subjects into
the Black Hole of Calcutta. When
they question Cecil about his na-
tionality, he answers in his best
fluent English and the soldiers
let him go, assuming he is a local
savage.

The next 1,000 feet of film gives
the cameraman an opportunity to
photograph the Black Hole from
its bottom. Historically, 146 Eng-
lishmen were thrown into the 20-
foot hole and 23 survived. For the
filming of this picture 560 extras
are thrown into the hole and only
one cameraman is rescued.

the Municipal Auditorium on
March 4. Mr. Casadesus will play
"The Revel," a concerto for the
left hand, and Mozart's Concerto
in A Major, num'ber 25.

The Frenchman, who is known
not only as a pianist, but as a
composer and teacher, has often
been referred to as "The Aristo-
crat of Keyboards." He comes
from a family of musicians. He
studied at Harris Conservatory
and has received many honorary
degrees from colleges in this coun-
try. At present he is head of the
piano department of the American
School at Fontainebleau. In this
capacity he has been very influ-
ential in promoting better rela-
tions between American and
French students. Mr. Casadesus
has given more than 300 concerts.

fice, Cecil enters metropolitan
San Francisco. The earth begins
to tremble beneath his feet, build-

452 people and causes a property
loss of $350,000,000. The quake in-
creases in fury Cecil is eaten
up by a crevice in the earth's floor.

Then in a brilliant stroke of
realism the screen of the theater
begins to waver; the walls shake
and begin to crack open. The ceil-
ing crumbles, the audience is
thrown into hysteria; many seek
escape through the ample exits,
but none are' spared. The walls
collapse and rubble rains down
on the first nighter audience,
burying them and all possible con-

Lads Leave Lassies Limping
From Weekend of Dancitis

By VIRGINIA CLAIRE HAYS

Those who are limping around on campus this week have only one
reason there were four dances this week-end. Any one of them
would have been enough to put you to bed thus the pained expres-
sions today on ithe faces of the lucky people. All kinds of foot ail-
ments, diseases, and disorders are number one on the gripe lists.

Friday night found the Psi Omega dental fraternity advocating
teeth-brushing as the theme of their coming meetings. Various out-
standing members of the fraternity and leading dentists from the
Atlanta area spoke on this theme at the banquet given before the
formal. Fraternity president Jack Odom was an excellent master of
ceremonies. The dancing took place at Peach tree Gardens, Betty Me-
Lellan, Ann Boyer, Betty Holland, Mil Martin, June Carpenter, C arol
Edw ards, Jackie Josey, and Betsy Hodges decided that the dentists, al-
though they are supposed to be experts on the teeth, also are experts
on the feet the dancing was divine.

But who is going to let the Psi Omega's give a better dance? Not
the Kappa Alpha's from Georgia Tech, who entertained at the winter
formal at the Ansley hotel. Miss Frankie Marbury is the new KA
Rose. Quite a few of the Agnes Scott flowers have been chosen for
fraternity sweeties and we are so proud! Just goes to show what a
igjood, active garden club will do for a college. Agnes Scott sent almost
a dozen roses to this dance: Mary Ann Wyatt, Anne Potts, Helen
Land, Frances Summerville, Carolyn Holtrey, Laura Hobbs, Patty
Morgan, Jean McKay, Jeanne Heisley, and Ann Tumipseed.

To out-do these fraternity formals, the Emory Interfraternity
Council had a valentine dance in the gym Friday evening. Anne De-
Witt, Keller Henderson, Mary Lindsey, Louise Jett, Margaret Cousar,
Donna Dugger, Nancy Ruffner, Sue Purdom, Virginia Lee Floyd, Lou
Wommack, Tibby King, Margaret Williamson, Sylvia Williams, Alary
Beth Robinson, Mary Land, Jo Ann Hall, Lucy Murray, Ruth Posey,
Jamie McKoy, and Betty Reiney were there. Now you- see why there
so many aching feet!

And then there were those who decided not only to have the foot-
ache but also legache, headache, and backache. The Phi Delta Theta
fraternity at Emory had their annual forma! Saturday night at the
Ansley hotel. Miss Eloise Eubanks was chosen sponsor and presented
a beautiful Phi Delt pin. Liz Lloyd, Mary Lindsey, Vivian Hays, Ruth
Gudmundson, and Mary Burke had a fabulous time eating, dancing
and talking.

Therefore we have reached this conclusion (many thanks to philos-
ophy 201) with a great deal of pleasure comes a little pain this
week, mostly in the foots.

Society Editor's note: Readers prepare yourself for the next Agnes
Scott News my last column. Do not be too sad; maybe the next
society editor will be cute also.

Frosh Beat Juniors

Sophs Outclass Seniors
In Strategic Game Friday

"The best game of the year," said Mrs. Hazel Jolly, referee,
speaking of the sizzling sophomore-senior game last Fri-
day in the gym. The unbeaten soph sextet outclassed the
seniors 36-33. The freshmen hardwooders came through with
their first win of the season, swishing the net for 26 tallies

The

against 21 junior points,
sophomore win cinches the first-
place spot for 'this top-ranking
team. Even should they lose to-
night to the freshmen, and the
second place seniors beat the ju-
niors, the sophs would still retain
their lead.

Both the seniors and sopho-
mores played strategic games.
Tight all the way, in the third
quarter each basket gave that
team the lead. The steady sopho-
mores, paced by forward Elinor
Taylor's 21 points and the sure
floor work of guards Harriette
Potts and Joree Walker, were fin-
ally too much for the outstand-
ing senior team. Winnie Strozier
sank the ball for 14 points, sen-
ior high scorer.

Freshman caigier Sara Mclntyre
led her fellow forwards with 15
points in playing their 'best game
of the season. Hot on her heels
was teammate Libby Wilson with
11 tallies. The junior forwards,
missing two regulars, played all
the harder. This was offset some-
what, however, by the absence of
two freshman guards. The junioi
forwards got under the basket for
Margie Thomason and Mary Beth
Robinson to fire for 10 points
each. Scrappy Adaline Miller, ju-
nior guard, saved the day several
times for the juniors. Nip and
tuck from the start -to finsh, this
too was a very good game, both
teams displaying igood teamwork.

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 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-
sec ration 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 suggestions 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 not 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 AWAY. By
Charlotte Key, reprinted.

Mortar Board Taps Jacob
As 1951-52 President

The widely-discussed, well-kept secret has at last been re-
vealed. Last night Carol Lou Jacob of Decatur was tapped as
new Mortar Board president.

With black robes swinging and candles wavering, the Mor-
tar Board chapter of 1951-52 proceeded to Second Main,

' where Catherine Crowe, retiring-
president, turned over her office
to the present chairman of Lower
house. The chapter then seren-
aded the campus in the tradition-
al trek around to the dormitories
and cottages, where the new presi-
dent was greeted by squealing
students.

Carol is a history and political
science major, and has served on
both Lower house and Executive
committee. She was NSA repre-
sentative to the 1951 congress,
and is chairman of NSA on cam-
pus this year. She was largely
responsible for the beginning of
the News center at Agnes Scott.

A member of Pi Alpha Phi and
her class basketball team, Carol
has also made honor roll both of
her years at Agnes Scott.

CAKOL LOU JACOB

Noted Astronomer
To Talk March 25

Professor Cecilia Payne-Ga-
poschkin, astronomer of Harvard
University, will deliver a lecture
March 25 at 8:30 p. m. in Gaines
chapel. Her subject is "Cosmic
Evolution" and the lecture will be
illustrated with slides. The lec-
ture will explain what modern as-
tronomers believe about the life
history of stars from studies based
on nuclear energy. The possible
origin and development of heaven-
ly bodies will be considered from
the variety of stars found in na-
ture.

Brown Collection
Includes Old Books

The children of Mrs. Elijah A.
Brovvn, Sr. have donated a col-
lection of her old books to the Ag-
nes Scott library. Most prominent
among the books are several very
old Bibles, including a "Breeches"
Bible printed in London in 1607.
The name 'Breeches" Bible comes
from the translation of Genesis
3:7 in, this Bible, which describes
the clothing of Adam and Eve.
The translation had previously
been "aprons."

Also in the collection of Bibles
is one dated 1768, one illustrated
by Dore, and one small New Tes-
tament which was published in
Augusta by the Confederate
States Bible Society. The latter
Bible was printed in Atlanta by
Wood, Hanleiter Rice and Com-
pany in 1862.

In addition to the Bibles, the
Brown collection includes several
very old imprints. Several books
of Elzevir, a famous printer in
the late 15th and early 16th cen-
tury, and the works of Cicero Al-
dus, 16th century printer, are
found in the collection. These im-
prints were made in Venice, and
the oldest printing is dated 1513.
The printing device of Elzevir is
found over the left side of the
door to Mrs. N. E. Byers' office
in the library.

Mrs. Brown died in the fall of
1951, and the collection has just
been donated to Agnes Scott by
her children, Elijah A. Brown, Jr.,
Marcus J. Brown, Joseph E.
Brown, and Mrs. Crawford Bar-
nett, class of 1932.

THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, March 5, 1952

Letter from the Editor . .

Dear World:

Now is the time for all good (?) editors to come to the aid of
graduation. In frustration, therefore, I am fulfilling an ambition of
long standing in the News: we have a letter, for which we cry loud
and often without avail.

I want to thank all of you first for reading our paper (if you don't,
you won't see this anyway). These three quarters have been hard
work, but they have also been fun. The best reward is seeing the
News instead of a face on a walking figure Wednesday afternoons.

Proudly, I want to thank Martha, Pris, Betsy, Barbara, and all the
rest of the editorial staff and reporters for producing the local ga-
zette. I may pretend to know if a headline is good or bad, but they
create the headlines, as well as the copy under them and the pictures
and cartoons above them.

The long-suffering, unpraised members of the staff are those who
make it possible to have a News in the first place. Ann and Mary
Ann manage the money, an understandably necessary part of any or-
ganization. The circulation of the News to all readers campus,
advertising, and subscribing is accomplished by Frances and her
staff. To all of you I give my thanks, wishing that I could have
given it sooner.

To this thank-you list I must add Miss Scandrett and Dr. Alston,
who are responsible for many revelations which find their way to
these four pages.

Last, but certainly not least (I realize that phrase is overworked
but what else fits so well?) I thank "the boys in the back room" and
all the other members of the DeKalb New Era, who print and collect
the various parts of our paper each week. As they often tell us, they
can fill up a column as long as the slugs last or the jokes.

To the next editor, I leave my new copy pencil, my conference with
Miss Scandrett at 9:30 Wednesdays, all the old copy, my chair in the
Newsroom, and my best wishes. May she not have four labs a week.

Love in 48 point tempo,
Ann, the editor

Sheppard Goes to UN Meet
As Collegiate Representative

By Pris Sheppard

An invitation to attend a five day convention in Chicago
during mid-February with Drs. Ralph Bunche, Clyde Eagle-
ton, Quincy Wright, and James T. Shotwell did not require
too much consideration before acceptance. There was no
problem of persuasion when the college program director of
the American association for the

United Nations telephoned that he
want to send a Deep South re-
gion delegate. I went.

This is the first year that col-
lege students have been repre-
sented at the conference spon-
sored by the A. A. U. N. and at-
tended by delegates from more
than 100 national organizations,
from the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen to the League of Wo-
men Voters, and including most
of the groups between. The eight
student delegates there who
make up the national collegiate
council for the U. N. had all at-
tended the U. N. Institute in New
York last June and represented
Barnard, Denver University, Har-
vard, Maryville College in St. Lou-
is, Northwestern, Syracuse, Van-
derbilt, and Agnes Scott.

The entire convention was a
wonderful experience. The speak-
ers were all of the highest cali-
bre and they worked closely with
the delegates on committees as
well as participating on the pan-
els.

The delegates met, in the words
of A. A. U. N. Director Clark M.

Eichelberger, "to praise, criticize,
and petition" on the general
theme of "United States Respon-
sibility for World Leadership in
1952/' The highlight of the con-
ference was the plenary session
held Monday ni'ght, Feb. 18, when
Dr. Bunche, director of U. N. trus-
teeships, presided and Ralph Mc-
Gill, editor of the Atlanta Con-
stitution, gave the principal ad-
dress. On the topic of "The World
Looks at the U. S." Dr. Bunche,
in a speech alternating between
the 'humorous and the serious,
discussed the recent General As-
sembly meetings in Paris; in re-
ferring to America's foreign pol-
icy, he gave the illustration of
the South Sea Islander who was
delighted when he received a new
boomerang and then spent the
rest of his life in frustration try-
ing to throw the old one away.
Dr. Bunche received the only
standing ovation of the conven-
tion.

Mr. iMcGill spoke particularly
of his recent trip to India and the
success of the Point Four pro-
gram there. He was very 'well

received by the capacity audience.

After each session all the speak-
ers remained to meet and talk
with the delegates. Senators
Ralph Flanders of Vermont and
Blair Moody of Michigan were
two of the most popular.

Conference Consensus

At the end of the convention the
resolutions committee presented
a statement of the consensus of
the delegates. The first point of
agreement was that membership
in the U. N. should eventually be
universal; all states should be tak-
en in with no withdrawals or ex-
pulsions. The U. S. opposed ad-
mission of Hungary, Rumania
and Bulgaria at the last session
because, as one speaker pointed
out, she plans to sponsor Japan
and Germany for membership
soon and must save some power
for bargaining with U. S. S. R. on
their admission. *

The whole mood of the confer-
ence was one of 'cautious optim
ism about the U. N. with almost
every speaker denying what be-
came the most quoted quote of
the meetings, Kipling's "East is
East and West is West, and never
the twain shall meet." As Senator
Moody said, "The U. N. has pre-
served peace and is developing the
formula for the future. The West
and East have met."

Seen Through a Hays

V. C. Gives Notes on Life
Of Chasing, Dodging Editor

By VIRGINIA CLAIRE HAYS

To be perfectly frank I must admit that I am not the saddest per-
son in the world because this the the LAST SOCIETY COLUMN
that I have to write. All I have to say as I draw my last breath after
chasing down the news of who wants to be in the newspaper ("you
left my name out last week and I went to four fraternity parties")
and who does not ("please do not put my name in the paper because
I told MoMo I was going home") is that if you think it is an easy
job just apply, because there is a vacancy beginning right now. The
pay is poor (you only get an average of two compliments every other
newspaper), the prestige is awful ("there is that girl who purposely
leaves my name out of the society news every week"), the working!
hours are terrible (you devote your time from Friday afternoon to
early Monday morning calling up various clubs, fraternities, and
organizations, writing the column and typing up the news at least
it saves you the trouble of grabbing the paper, turning quickly to the
column and searching for your name). I have certainly looked high
and low for people's names to put in the column. Please forgive me
if I have ever left you out. I promise, it was an oversight.

I Remember the Day . . .

Zounds at the mistakes I have made, and the messes I have gotten
myself into by being the Society Editor! There's nothing that will
take the place of the day the girl came up to me and said, 'Well, I
never! If you cannot tell the difference between a Tau Tau Tau pin
and a Zeta Data pin I think it is time for a change of editors."
I said, "Lady, you are perfectly right it is time for a change. Sony
I put the wrong pin by the way, which is it?"

What about the day a member of the Buma Cigs at Greasy Pebble
State Teachers' College called and said, "Madam, I have but one
thing to say please keep your nose out of our fraternity parties.
We were not supposed to have a party, and now that you have so suc-
cessfully spread the news around, we are on double probation for a
thousand and four years. Good day."

That's really nothing to some of the things that happened. More
fun to have those of the more learned groups glaring down their noses
at you with that "how in the world did you ever pass English and
who told you you could write" look on their faces.

Ah! but it has been fun . . . . ! Every Wednesday I head for the
stacks and don't dare come out until I am sure everyone has read the
newspaper. Then it's easy to know whom to dodge and to whom you
can smile. Great life I tell you . . .

the Final Tabulations

I am probably sticking my neck out, but there have been 25 engage*-
ments since I have been the society editor (Anne Dalton Jones and
Ann Baxter being the latest). Five SAE's have bestowed their fair
diamond-shaped pins on the Agnes Scott lovelies, as have five Sigma
Nu's. There have been three Phi Delt pins added to the collection,
and the Kappa Sig's have left three of their pins here. The Delta
Sig's brought out two pins and succeeded in leaving them; the Lamb-
da Chi's only 'got one pin to stay (small chapter). The Phi Kappa
Alpha's added one dream girl to their list since I began writing my
nonsense. The Pi Kappa Phi's have pinned four girls, the SPE's
have pinned two, and the Chi Phi's have pinned three s. i. b. w. rn. n.
The KA's have added five new roses (best wishes, Ann Evans) to
their garden club. The Sigma Chi's have eight new Sweethearts.
The Alpha Tau Omega's have TEN new girl friends Eleanor Hut-
chinson, Sue Purdom, and Helen McGowan having just joined the
ranks.

My parting suggestion:

THREE WAYS TO GET YOUR NAME IN THE SOCIETY COLUMN
(if they ever find a new editor)

1. Do not sign out in the Dean's office. '

2. Have a date with the most unattractive man in the vicinity.

3. Send three memos to the editor before the big date occurs.

Horowitz Will Play

Faculty, Students Anticipate
Race for '52 Softball Plaque

By Anne Thomson

The Navy may have taken Mr. Jones away, but Mr. Hayes
is still here, so Athletic association announces with pride
that the 1952 softball season will get under way in a few
weeks.

The seniors, champions every year that they have been
here, are going to have a harder

fight than ever to keep that
plaque for the fourth year. The
juniors almost robbed them of it
last year, and from the speedy
looks of the freshman basketball
team, it seems as if it wcin't take
them very long to get around
those bases.

Speaking of the freshmen, isn't
it too bad that they can't enjoy
the real significance of that won-
derful grass on the Science Hall
lawn? We had to make a local
rule Last year that you could take
only two bases on a ball that land-
ed amid the slush and mush of the
to-be building. Many's the poor
outfielder that has nearly fallen
on her face in the mud as she
hopped from one soggy mound to
another, trying to throw out a
steal to the plate.

But those days are gone for-
ever. Spring is just around the
cjiner, in spite of the snow-bat-
tles a week ago, so you may "as
well plan to shut those note-
books every Friday afternoon.
Really, the stacks are just not the
place to be when the 'bases are
loaded, the count is 3-2, and Rob-
inson steps up to the plate for
, her last swing. It is just quite
probable that she v/ill knock a
homer right through those library
windows. Don't you agree that it
is much safer to be out on the
bleachers than in the stacks where
you might get bopped with a ball?
And don't forget, A. A. will be
selling those wonderful candied
apples, or maybe even peanuts.

The New Regime

If the goal of a newspaper is to report the major news
events, it would seem that this paper has just reached its
apex for this staff's duration. It's not often that a new
editor has Phi Beta Kappa, Mortar Board and elections re-
sults to vie for the front page, and our hope might be that
our prblems may continue to be too much news rather than
too little.

The new editor, according to tradition, is supposed to
state the new new policy or reaffirm the old. We perhaps
are supposed to announce, like the N. Y. Times, that we
will print all the printable news.

We would, in contrast, rather assert our need for your
help, your information about news items, your criticism,
your suggestions, your interest, and at times your sym-
pathy. Only an editor is expected to be unbiased, pontif-
ical, and omnicient, and in humility we seek your aid.

As for policy, we cannot hope to improve on our heritage
of honesty, accuracy, and publication of all conducive to
campus interest, welfare and progress. We plan to make
some changes, to initiate a new column and to conduct
frequent campus polls, but in all we hope to uphold the
standards of our predecessors.

We consider the publication of the News a challenge. We
will try to meet it with good humor, a keen conscience, and a
new typewritter ribbon. P. S.

FSU Affirmative Wins Honors
In Debate Tournament Here

By Caroline Reinero

A pair of smooth-talking Florida State University debat-

Arlene Armand and Katherine Skogstead, both juniors at

vespers at 5:15 p. m. in Maclean
auditorium.

Dr. James R. McCain, president
emeritus, is in charge of vespers

pieces from the Time of the Cru-
cifixion" at 8 p. m. in 207 Camp-
bell Hall.

Friday there will be a second
discussion led by Mr. Giffin at
4:15 p. m. The topic for the chapel

Hints from Small Fry

Has Agnes Scott Got Talent
That Ain't Been Used Yet?

By Jane Landon

There is an old layman who writes a weekly column in a
South Georgia paper, and last week he preached about
"young gals paintin' their lips and wearin' danglin' earbobs
and pearls on Sunday." I hate to sound like him, but I'm
about to do a bit of preaching myself. (This preaching's got
nothing to do with dangliiY ear-

bobs I trip over them all the
time myself.)

Last Thursday we stopped by
Taft Hall in the Municipal Audi-
torium to glance at the drawings
and paintings made by the chil-
dren in Atlanta's public schools.
The paintings were displayed in
order to gain publicity for and
promote interest in the Atlanta
Symphony, but as far as I was
concerned, it was an art exhibit
to end all art exhibits. Each
child had listened to a piece of
good music and drawn a picture
of his impression of it. The re-
sults were amazing! When I was
in junior high there was usually
one little girl in the class who
could draw a decent horse or
something, but the rest of us
drew pine trees, period. I know
that the percentage of artists in
a class hasn't increased since the
good ol' days, but something has
happened, judging by the number

of these rea]ly good pictures at

children are being encouraged to
display a little of their innate
creative ability? Could it also be
that we should take a lesson from
them?

"Ghost Riders"

The paintings of "The Ride of
the Valkyries" were, on the whole,
perfect representations of tfeat
\iolent piece of music. Maybe
the old girls did look like "Ghost
Riders in the Sky", but they had
Wagner's turbulence and vivid-
ness in them, even though one
timid soul did her drawing in pas-
tels. The picture of "The Blue
Danube Waltz" really created a
good effect without having a spot
of blue or even a trickling rivulet
anywhere in it. One painting by
a fifth or sixth grader had whole
wall filled with clocks, a really
great interpretation of a 12
o'clock class I have. "The Maid
With the Flaxen Hair" had a head
full of beautiful chartreuse ring-
lets, and, believe it or not, Shos-
takovich's Fifth Symphony was
recalled as a peaceful pastoral
scene, but even these little artists
could be called "moderns." When
a fourth grader can paint a com-
plete symphony orchestra, when
a child sees Ravel's "Bolero" as a
rhythmic, yet exciting, series of
figures, when Grieg's A minor
concerto, Chopin's "Polonaise,
Brahm's "Cradle Song," or even
"Easter Parade" can be represent-
ed as dynamically as they were

Direct Doodling

Instead of waiting ATO or Phi
Delt all over your history notes,
try drawing pictures of Napoleon
or Attila the Hun. A poster ad-
vertising National Safety week
would look much better on your
door than "Drive Carefully, You
May Hit a Presbyterian." Ar-
range the articles on your dress-
ing table in an artistic way, al-
ternating the positions of the No-
Doze, Murine, and aspirin bottles
every few days for pleasant va-
riety. Brighten up your biology
lab drawings with hearts and
flowers wound around the frog's
axial skeleton. If you and your
roommate both have Phi Beta
keys, have them made into ear-
rings, and take turns wearing
them. Planting flowers in shoes
with run-down heels is a clever
idea a pot is a pot to a flower.'
Let's think of more fascinating
ways in which we can bring our
talents to the surface, and apply
ourselves.

Leaving the wit (half?) aside
for a moment, let's really think
seriously about our wasted mo-
ments, our idle minds and hands,
and take a lesson from Atlanta's
young artists.

Spring Activities

Men Arrive, Girls Leave;
Where is Spring Busted?

By CAROL JONES

Spring 'has been bus tin' out all over for nearly two weeks now, and
it has brought with it all kinds of changes. Along with the daffodils
dogwood, robins, and mew leaves, a welcome sight on campus was
the sudden appearance of all those men! Another noticeable differ-
ence was the scarcity of girls, of all things! The campus suffered
a mass evacuation because of the stirring of springtime activities
rainging from housecleaning to houseparties. This society editor can
already tell that she is going to be a member of the Order of the
Hanging Out Tongues!

To start the weekend on its soaring flight, the Sigma Chi's at Tech
had a housewarming Friday for their new fraternity house. It was
quite an exciting event, as Betsy Hill, Jane Sutlive, Laura Hobbs,
Ruth Gudmundson, Barbara Kelly, Joan Simmons, Lucy Doyle, Betty
Nell Scott, Browiiie Williams, or Adeline Steans will testify. They
seemed to be full of enthusiasm When we asked them about the house.
Congratulations to the Sigs!

Also at Tech, Kathleen Whitfield, Virginia Clift, Hannah Jackson,
and Ginny Lucchesse visited the Delta Tau Delta house, Virginia and
Ginny sporting the pins they received during exams last quarter.

Some seniors ventured farther away. Charlotte Allsmiller aind Mar-
garet Inman ^attended the sweetheart ball at Davidson Saturday nigfht.
Winter Clothes Vs. Sun Glasses

Pack up your winter clothes and get out, your sun glasses, girls, for
if last weekend was any indication of thing to come (and let's all
hope it was!) you'll be needing them. Yep, houseparty season is upon
us! The Sigma Chi's at Emory went >to Rutledge for a weekend of sun
and, they tell me, baseball. Sounds suspiciously like spring training,
but Gail Rogers, Dele Thompson, Liz Lloyd, Ginnie Lee Floyd, La-
vinia Clark, Jane Dahlhouse, and Mary Beth Robinson all say they
had a grand time. Others who took advantage of the sunny weather
were Lib McPheeters, Lucy Murray, Harriette Hampton, Vivian Hays,
and Connie Currie, who joined the Emory Delta Tau Deltas on their
houseparty, and Kitten Cumbee, Barbara Wynn, and Pat Watters,
who helped the Chi Phi's at Tech have a successful outing.

There were some who preferred to remain on campus. Besides those
who were campused, some girls stayed behind to entertain guests,
like Gvvynn Davies, and some stayed to enjoy the solitude! Visiting
us from Furman University in Greenville were "alumnae" Mary Lib
Willis and Marguerite Johnson.

To climax the weekend, Jane Zuber came in from Davidson Sun-
day night wearing a Sigma Chi piln! Lola Purcell and Florence Worthy
have beautiful diamond rings; Jean McKay has an SAE pin, Beverly
Watson a KA, and Grace Olert, Beta! "In the spring a young man's
fancy ..."

"Over the Rainbow'' is the theme of the water ballet to be
presented by the Dolphin club tonight at 8 in the Agnes
Scott gymnasium. On Tuesday night the performers were
photographed in color to appear in the Atlanta Journal-
Constitution magazine section

The ballet was written by the
members of the Dolphin club
working in pairs. The girls will
wear the new tank suits which
ought to occasion a great deal of
interest, throughout the campus.

The program will be made up
of eight numbers, including: "Al-
ways Chasing Rainbows," "Blue
Tango," "Mood Indigo," "Star-
dust," "Hymn to the Sun" (solo
by Eloise Eubanks), "Deep Pur-
ple," "Jealousie," and the finale,
"Over the Rainbow."

The members of the Dolphin

club who will take part in the bal-
let are Catherine Redles, Margie
Thomason, Donna Dugger, Amn

Friday to Mark '52 Opening
Of Softball; Games Start at 4

By Anne Thomson

Well, the great day has arrived again. Softball season
opens Friday, April 4 at 4 p. m.

The teams are being managed by Sarah Legg, for the
freshmen; Sue Purdom, for the sophomores; Mary Beth
Robinson, for the juniors; and Kitty Freeman, for the seniors.

There has been a surprisingly

good turn out for the practices
(doubtless due to early cases of
spring fever) and at this point the
championship battle promises to
be a pretty hard one. In fact,
the debaters who came over last
Friday to give some pointers were
really quite impressed and decid-
ed they'd better get back to their
own game.

So if this wonderful weather
doesn't develop into April showers
we'll be looking for all of you
out on the bleachers Friday af-
ternoon. The competition will be
keen, the spirit high, and Athletic

association hopes everyone will
join in the fun.

Reflections on Elections

Many people last week were dismayed at the lack of re-
sponse to elections. The grill was crammed; the smoker was
overflowing; chapel was practically empty. One day there
were only 23 of one class and 32 of another present at elec-
tions.

Some students were heard to say that they purposely did
not vote because they feel that our system of elections is
unfair. If anyone feels this way, she should state precisely
what is unfair and should offer practical suggestions to per-
sons in authority. If there is anything unfair about our elec-
tions, the fault lies with those girls who, by their absence,
fail to represent the majority of the student body's opinion.

When we fail to vote into office the girls whom we feel
are most capable, we may become a faculty-directed or com-
mittee-rum student body. How can students be made to real-
ize that it is their votes which determine who our leaders
are? Perhaps the answer lies in such a strenuous measure as
compulsory attendance at elections. Whatever it is, some so-
lution must be found. J. M.

Our Responsibility

This is a year in which we must shoulder the responsibility
of elections other than those we participate in during the
course of the school year. This year the ones of us who are
21, or in the case of Georgia students, 18, must decide whom
we think should pilot our government for the next four
years. This requires that we develop a certain amount of
comprehension and maturity of viewpoint, because our vote,
combined with that of other college students throughout the
country, could well be the deciding factor in determining
the future of our country.

It is all too easy in a college community to lapse into in-
difference, becoming too wrapped up in the ordinary rou-
tine of classes, studying, dates, and gossip sessions. A nose
in a book or a date every night may be rewarding in itself
but without a broader viewpoint we would be neglecting
an essential facet of our education.

The world we enter after graduation will require an abil-
ity to evaluate on a basis of knowledge. It is our responsi-
bility to know what is going on in Korea, to know the aims
of NATO, the background of the income tax scandals, and
the qualifications of each presidential candidate.

We must learn now to delve beneath the surface of dis-
tortions and prejudices, and judge the issues and candidates
on a basis of facts. J. S.

The Associated Collegiate press
has been conducting polls to de-
termine just where students are
giving their support in the com-
ing Presidential election. Accord-
ing to most recent poll of colleges
and universities, Estes Kefauver
is gaining ground while Earl War-
ren is fast, losing strength. Dwight
Eisenhower is the overwhelming
favorite on all campuses.

Here at Agnes Scott an infor-
mal poll of students revealed
strong support for General Eisen-
hower as a specific candidate. As
for the Democratic candidate,
those questioned felt that Kefau-
ver and Senator Russell of Georgia
have the best chances of winning
the nomination, but few would
definitely commit themselves to
either one. Taft, interestingly
enough, was not favored by a sin-
gle student participating in the
poll.

The top five in the ACP poll
were Eisenhower with 42 per cent,
Taft with 15 per cent, Kefauver
with 12 per cent, Warren with 12
per cent, and Stassen, eight per
cent. (Stassen also was not men-
tioned in the campus poll.)

If you are one of the many who
said they had no opinion, why not
do some reading and thinking
about the subject so that when
voting time comes you will know
candidates and their platforms?

By Jane Landon

I heard a nasty rumor last week
that you girls should be informed
of. The source said that many
of the men (?) at Tech and Em-
ory don't call us for dates be-
c a.u s e we're
gold- diggers.
They think that
we think that
they have to
have an oil well
in their back-

yard before
we'll condes-
cend to go out
with them.
(Pause to un-
scramble the last sentence.) I
think we ought to revolt! I knew
there was some reason behind my
staying home all the time, but I
never dreamed it was THAT. I
really couldn't name one person
here who would turn down a date
because the boy couldn't afford a
dinner at Emile's, a hamburger at
the grill, or even a Coke from the
machine in Rebekah. I got so
worked up over the situation that
I made out a list of inexpensive
modes of entertainment that ev-
ery red-blooded young college
crowd can enjoy.

The first suggestion requires,
materially, only a few sheets of
notebook paper. If you and your
date are taking similar courses in
your respective schools, why not
copy each other's notes? (Your
professor might have missed an
important point.) If he's taking a
course which you have scheduled
for next year, the time spent will
yield you double returns.

Occupational Interest

If he's a dental student, let him
look for your cavities, and if he's
a med student impress him with
word like puboiscbiofemoralis ex-
ternus. (One needs biology 207 be-
fore one could safely attempt
this.) Finding something in com-
mon with your date could be a big
help. The basis of a lasting friend-
ship is reciprocation like "You
give me a fraternity pin and I'll
give you a date for Dooley's." If
the object of your affections is an
engineer you can design a meas-
uring cup marked off in liters for
housewives who majored in chem-
istry. Clip coupons from mag-
azines and send them in for free
samples; make clever dedications
for songs over the radio; combine
your past experiences and write a
real thriller for "Children's Ac-
tivities." The possibilities are end-
less. Don't ever let it be said
that an Agnes Scott girl is a
snob, that she is particular about
how she doesn't spend her date's
money. Take these suggestions to
heart and really go to town sor-
ry, I meant really stay on campus.

Two A. S. Delegates Attend
Eta Sigma Phi Convention

By Joyce Munger

Sarah Crewe Hamilton and Sarah Leathers, representing
the Alpha Delta chapter of the Eta Sigma Phi, attended the
national convention, which was held last weekend at the
University of Indiana in Bloomington. About 60 'delegates
attended the meetings on the snow-covered thousand-acre
campus.

The two Agnes Scott delegates
arrived Friday morning to hear
Dr. N. J. G. Pound, professor of
history of the University of In-
diana, lecture on the geography
of first-century Italy. Friday af-
ternoon the general session ac-
cepted the petitions of the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin and of Albion
College for chapters of Eta Sigma
Phi. At this time there were re-
ports from the president of the
Board of trustees of Eta Sigma
Phi and from the newspaper of
that organization, "The Nuntius."

Friday night Sarah Crewe and
Sarah attended the subscription
dinner in the Marine Room. On
this occasion, Dr. Otto J. Brendel,
professor of fine arts of the Uni-
versity of Indiana, presented a
talk on the city of Rome, where
he has 'lived for eight years.

Saturday morning at the gen-
eral session Sarah Leathers pre-
sented the report of the Alpha
Delta chapter of Agnes Scott.
This report was written by Sarah
Crewe, secretary of that chapter.
At this session reports were pre-
sented by the national treasurer
and by Dr. Willis, a trustee. Tffese
were followed by an address by
Dr. N. T. Pratt, Jr., professor of
classical languages and literatures
at the University of Indian. He
spoke on "Some News About the
Classics." The convention ended
with the installation of officers.

There is a possibility that the
Agnes Scott chapter of Eta Sigma
Phi will be host to this annual
convention next spring.

College Announces
Contest Winners

Scholarship awards of more
than $5,000 to high school seniors

College Tuesday at the close of its
annual scholarship competition.
Nine entrants won Agnes Scott
tuition awards in the contest,

ment explaining why the appli-
cant wished a scholarship to Ag-
nes Scott, the preparatory school
record, participation in school and
community activities, and other
data.

First award of $1,500, to be
used over the four-year college
period, went to Miss Ann Gregory
of N Winston-Salem, N. C. Grants
of $1,000 each, also over four
years, were won by Miss Sarah
Christian of Princeton, N. J., Miss

Berserk Social Scene

Banquets, Weiner Roasts,
Skits- o-Frenia Provide Fun

By CAROL JONES

With all the parties, dances, and outings that occurred last week-
end, Scotties really hit a high point in the social whirl! Just ask any
of the Juniors what the event of the week was, though, and they'll
unanimously agree on the Junior banquet. We hear it was a great
success and everyone certainly looked beautiful with her long
dress and black or white-coated man.

White Coat Field Day

Speaking of men in white coats, they had a field day at Emory last
week-end with all the people who were drawn there by Skits-o-Fre-
nia! Among those from Agnes Scott who enjoyed the festivities were
Carol Hancock, Cynthia Oarso, Marcia Rosefield, Anne Bottoms, Mari-
lyn Belanus, Phyllis Galphin, "Bo" Hancock, Babs Hillman, Sue Peter-
son, Ellen Griffin, Betty Stein, Sara Shylock, and quite a few more.
Eloise Eubanks was one of the skits-os!

There were several formal dances over the week-end. The ATO's
at Tech had a big week-end with a house dance Friday night and a
banquet and formal Saturday. Llew Wommack, Alma Scoggins, Bar-
bara Yowell, Lil KneelanA, Letty Grafton, Jo Anne Hall, Sidney New-
ton, Marji Henderson, and several others joined them and had a great
time. The Delta Sig's at Emory also had a formal. Jean Drumheller,
V. C. Hays, Betsy Hodges, Keller Henderson, Jane Landon, and
Donna Dugger will tell you what a good time they had.

PiKA's Entertain

The Emory PiKA's entertained with a house dance Mary Hood,
Beth Dugan, Mildred Kater, Elinor Taylor, Sue Walker, and Grace
Olert went. By the way, that's a PiKA pin Grace has, not a Beta.
Forgive us, Grace! (Now the society editor can come out from under
the table where she has spent the last week.)

The Glenn Memorial Methodist young people had a weiner roast
Saturday night at which Vallie Burnet, Julie Greer, Anne Sylvester,
Mary Burke, Carolyn Reinero, and Katherine Hefner experimented
with their cooking.

On campus last week-end Sandra Dickson entertained two guests
from Converse College, and Anne Baxter, Pris Sheppard, and Anne
Jones had out-of-town guests.

By the time the weekend was over Mif Martin was wearing a Chi
Phi pin and Frances Summerville a gorgeous ring! Congratulations!
Betty Moyer also has a lovely ring; B. J. McCastlain has a Sigma Chi
pin; Patty Morgan and Kitty Goff have KA pins.

Blackfriars, Emory Players
Will Present Mama' Tonight

By B. J. McCastlain

"Blood is thicker than water, especially when it's Nor-
wegian blood!" The play, "I Remember Mama," by John
Van Druten, comes close to proving that statement. It will
be presented tonight by the Agnes Scott Blackfriars and
the Emory Players with Virginia Clift as "Mama" and Mary
Ann Wyatt as "Katrin" heading
the oast.

When the curtain goes up at
8:30 in Presser Hall tonight the
date will become 1910, and the
scene will be a house on Steiner
street in San Francisio. The nar-
rator of the play is Katrin,
Mama's eldest daughter and the
"dramatic one," who introduces
us to the family that lives in this
house her family in a voice
that is bursting wdttjh pride.

The events that she rela/tes are
not unusually exciting, (except
for the time when Uncle Chris
came roaring in, vocally and me-
chanically with his Model "T"
Ford) unless you call a mastoid
operation or a pink celluloid dress-
er set tremendously extraordin-
ary. But the everyday doings of
this Norwegian family are not
dull at all; they wonderfully re-
veal real people who had their
tragic moments surely, but also
their share of 'the happy ones.

Mama Reigns

The favorite room was the kit-
chen, penny-pinchingly plain and
practical, but bright amid warm
too brightened by tine gaily
painted pieces of Norwegian fur-
niture and warmed by the amount
of living done in its four walls.
Reigning in this room, as surely
and just as proudly as a queen iin
her castle, was Mama, tall and
straight, he blond hair braided
high on her head. A mother in
the truest sense of the word, no
situation was impossible, even if
it including chloroforming a cat!

No less interesting were the
other members of this family, but
they were interesting in quite dif-
ferent ways. With the down-to-
earth Christine, "'the stubborn
one," and dramatic Katrin living
in the same house even Mama's
pat i once was tried. Throw in a
howling Elizabeth the cat
and a stomping Uncle Chris the
"head of the family" and the

Convocation Confusion

There comes a time in every editor's term when the per-
ennial topic of silence in chapel comes to the fore. This ed-
itorial had its inception last Wednesday morning when the
talking and movement in the aisles which smothered the
organ prelude seemed to reach their peak. No fewer than
eight unsolicited requests for editorial mention of it were
received.

Every chapel program, be it convocation, student meeting,
C. A. program or faculty program, begins with a devotional.
For that reason, if for no other, silence should be maintained.
In deference to the organist, in respect to the speaker and to
others in the audience, common- courtesy demands quiet.

It is inevitable that convocation would foster more confu-
sion than other more sparsely attended programs, but it must
be thoroughly discouraging to a speaker to see 500 students,
wandering inanely in the aisles, searching for that friend
with whom they have urgent business or seeking one whom
they have not seen since the last Wednesday, same time and
plac.

It must be even more discouraging to see students enter
with armloads of books, as though that extra moment had
arrived.

The reverent silence which prevailed during the special
Holy week services proves that it can be done. A little more
thoughtfulness would solve the anxiety of the speaker, the
embarrassment of the administration and faculty members
and the harassed look of the organist. P. S.

Innocents Abroad

Travel in Europe is a great educational asset, but the trav-
eller must realize that Europe is not America. Many col-
lege students are planning trips abroad this summer, and
Agnes Scott will have some representatives.

Dr. Jacques Barzun, who gave a lecture here recently,
mentioned several important qualities that an American
traveler should have when in Europe. Students have been
unsuccessful in Europe simply because they expected to find
American coffee, orange juice, and ice water European
luxuries.

The American college students now, especially, should be
good representatives in Europe. They should go with open
minds. They should be willing to accept the foreign cus-
toms and institutions on the same level as ours. They should
go to learn about a new type of people and their way of
living.

You, the college student, should be willing to endure tem-
porarily some of the hardships that the Europeans have to
bear. The Europeans should see a tolerant, thoughtful
traveler, a citizen of the world, a good American. C. R.

But Mama managed; She '^al-

Mama's Bank Account

Mama had quite definite ideas
about how a family should be

part was the Bank Account. Her
family- raising ideas included fin-

nothing that 'the children were
prouder or more aware of than
their Bank Account. Nothing
must happen to it.

When Mama had counted out
the money Papa brought home

Catalogue Changes

Feature Editor Indulges
In Miscellaneous Rambling

By Jane Landon

This week's column is the result of housecleaning the
contents are left-overs from better (?) days. No transition,
no topic sentence, no nothing! I really had a great time de-
fying the composition handbook. The following literature
may be lowbrow, but it is indeed newsy!

I hear that two of my col

leagues on second Rebekah have
suggested some schedule changes
for next year:

English

101 Approach to reading and
writing: Definition of basic terms
When is the
time element ?
Why is a poem ?
Research paper
on the meta-
phoric imagery
in E i n s t e in's
Theory of Rel-
ativity as com-
pared with a
liberal arts
college.

211 More reading and writ-
ing. Memorization of Chaucer's
"Canterbury Tales" in the original
muddle English.

Biology

101 General biology: required
of all students a subscription
to "Field and Stream." Three
lectures a week to cover protozoa
through Elephant ia. Special em-
phasis on map reading to aid in
following charts. Laboratory from
1:40 until.

379 Floral hygiene: a study
of canine lilies >with emphasis up-
on pollenization,. fertilization, ova-
tion, circulation, respiration, ex-
piration, and inspiration. All stu-
dents required to learn class song:
"Phloem Gently Sweet Aster"
Wiltjfr xylemvphone ac<X)inpaniment.
Chemistry

101 Practical application of
proven scientific principals: How
to boil water. How to defrost tihe
refrigerator. How to titrate salad
oil and lemon juice into mayon-
naise.

A more complete copy of the
schedule may be obtained from
the self- appointed faculty mem-
bers, Jackie Josey, H. S. D. (high
school diploma) and Joen Fagan,
University Hooza Freud?'

ANECDOTE: Did you (hear
about the simpleton who fell into
the lensngrinder and made a spec-
tacle of himself?

Speaking of simpletons, Simple
Simon's latest column in the Em-
ory Wiheel gave us some pretjty
dirty digs. (His complai<nt appears
annually in Emory publications.)
He deserves only one comment:
getting an A. S. C. girl out for
a date may seem to be a long,
hard process, but after all, we
think we're worth it. Don't they?

Joyce Mugger and Marian Mc-

Elroy, the classic beauties, say
that, tine Eta Sigma Phi party is
really going to be great . . . they
should know, they wrote the skit,
and got carried away with their
own cleverness.

On the sober side: I registered
to vote last week and was really
disappointed. There is an oath
to be taken which should really
mean something promises to
uphold the standards of govern-
ment and all that. But the wo-
man who was administering said
oath read through t|he paragraph
as if she were racing with the gal
across the room to see wiho could
finish first. The words were mum-
bled, she had a bored expression
on her face, and all in the cere-
mony was not as impressive as it
should have been. I think the
privilege of voting deserves a lit-
tle enthusiastic support from
these government workers.

Who has been dropping propa-
ganda pamphlets all over the
school, which read, "So you want
to be a Tech coed?" They are
causing confusion in some quar-
ters.

I can say only one thing about
this column:

Although it's a bit miscellaneous,
Keep in mind, it could have been
wuhse!

Spinning the Patter

Flowers, Diamonds Appear
As Aggies Observe Easter

By CAROL JONES

The Easter Parade found its ranks sadly depleted but bravely
elegant as many Agnes Scotters turned homeward last weekend.
Although the sun rose and set behind leaking clouds Sunday, it
pushed its way through in the middle of the day to shed a welcome
and heartening light on a subject of great interest (I hope!)
namely the straw-hatted, flower-decorated participants in said par-
ade. The dining hall had its own special showing of spring fashions
with a little extra Easter spirit to give them added flavor.

With so few people on campus, my weekly sleuthing job was some-
what simplified at least it was not necessary to resort to obscure
methods of obtaining information. I happened to see Betty Jo Mc-
Castlain having a tennis date Saturday afternoon and taking care
of .two purple chicks (fowls, that is!) between sets! I caught a
glimpse of Phyllis Galphin, Ann Parker, Carol Tye, Phyllis Fisher,
and Flo Hantf gliding out the front door of Main to dance at the
Atlanta Division military ball Friday night. They were certainly an
eyeful in their spring formals.

It took a lot of blinking for me to be sure I wasn't seeing things,
but Bet Linton, Callie McArthur, Tibby King, and Margaret Wil-
liamson had dates at six o'clock Sunday morning for the soinrise
service and breakfast! And later (at a more respectable hour!) I
met Letty Grafton and her date and some gorgeous white carnations
going to church. Keller Henderson's white orchid and Connie
Ormsby's bouquet of violets were both eye-catchers, and I can't
resist adding that I was intoxicated by some heavenly gardenias
someone kept holding under my nose!

I noticed that Joan Spark, Carolyn Hoi trey, and Nellie Scott re-
ceived very special Easter remembrances. All have lovely diamonds.

I guess that covers almost everything, and the rain will surely
take care of what I've missed. Just remembered that -without all
this rain May Day Dell would never be as pretty as it is, and May
Day is just around the corner!

Defeat Sister Class

Seniors, Juniors Win J His
In Opening Softball Games

By Carolyn Wells

The seniors and juniors swamped the sophomores and
freshmen, respectively, in the first games of the 1952 soft-
ball season, 11-4 and 13-3. With teams reduced by the Eas-
ter exodus, the handful of players showed a great deal of
spirit last Friday, but the experience of the upper classmen
was a great difference.

At four in the afternoon seven
seniors came up to bat in order
against a team of sophomores.
The gray team put together 18
hits for 11 runs in their five in-
nings, six of the runs coming in
the second inning. The pinks
gleaned four runs from seven scat-
tered hits; two of their scores
crossing in the fourth inning when
Joen Fagan walked, Julie Grier
singled, and Cissy Schor knocked
a long single to score them.

Winnie Strozier was particular-
ly effective as the gray's pitcher,
striking out 10 sophs. She and
Catherine Redles swung impres-
sive bats, Winnie banging out a
home run in the first with a man
on, and two singles; Catherine
slapping a beautiful triple and a
single. Pat Patterson played good
ball for the sophomores, fielding
well and getting the only extra-
base blow for the pinks in ithe
fifth, a triple.

Three home runs sparked the
second game, the juniors blasting
two and the freshmen one. In an
abbreviated game the juniors, be-
hand an excellent battery com-
posed of Mary Beth Robinson and
Ann Baxter, coasted to an easy
victory over the baby class.

The yellow team gathered 13
runs from 15 hits, while the
greens put four hits together for
three runs. In the first inning the
juniors scored eight of their runs,
Dele Thompson poundi'ntg a home-
rum for the big blow of the in-
ning.

Ann Thomson smashed the oth-
er junior homer in the second,
knocking in Baxter and Frances
Blakeney ahead of her. Frances
Cook played exceptionally well in
the field. Freshman Nan Arwood
walked! away with batting honors,

Spring Play is Success

AS-Emory Cast Scores Hit
With 'I Remember Mama'

By Joyce Munger

The audience which was fortunate enough to attend the
performance of "I Remember Mama" last Wednesday in
Presser Hall will long remember "I Remember Mama." It
is undoubtedly one of the best plays which has been present-
ed at Agnes Scott.

The cast, which was amazingly
well chosen', held the audience
spell-bound. Mary Ann Wyatt, as
Katrin, the narrator of Mama's
story, won unanimous acclaim.
Virginia Clift seemed all that
Mama should be, and Papa, Bob
Libby, played his part well also.
Other characters who stood out
for their excellent acting were
Wilton Smith, who was Uncle
Chris, and Frances Summerville,
who won the affection of the au-
dience by her portrayal of the
little girl, Dagmar. Both the Ag-
nes Scott and the Emory actors
were excellent, but the consensus
was that the acting of the Agnes
Scott members of the cast was
outstanding.

Last night '1 Remember Ma-
ma" was presented at Fort Mc-
Pherson by the Agnes Scott
Blackfriars and the Emory Play-
yers. Louise Hill and Theresa
Dokos took the leading roles as
Mama and Katrin, respectively.

Although the difficult handling
of complicated shifts of scenes
and lights was somewhat distract-
ing, the audience remained atten-
tive. These shifts were made
with great smoothness and alac-
rity considering their complica-

tions, and the excellent acting
quite compensated for the delays.

The. opinion of the audience as
a whole was that "I Remember
Mama" represented a great deal
of hard work, much talent, and
some excellent acting in a very
refreshing play. Blackfriars can
be proud of this production and
the entire cast is to be commend-
eJ. May there be many produc-
tions of the calibre of "I Remem-
ber Mama."

Posey Attends
Chicago Meeting

Dr. Walter B. Posey, professor
of history, attended the 45 th
meeting of the Mississippi Valley
Historical association in Chicago,
111., April 17, 18, and 19.

While Dr. Posey was 1 at the
meeting, he attended several dis-
cussion) sessions and the annual
dinner of the association. Dr.
Merle Curti from the University
of Wisconsin gave the presidential
address. Dr. Curti lectured at
Agnes Scott several years ago.

The Mississippi Valley Histori-
cal association is the largest his-
torical association in the United
States solely devoted to American
history.

Pictured above is the special display featured next to the main
desk in the library this week in honor of Dr. Mary S. MacDougall,
professor of biology. At the far left is a copy of the "Christian Sci-
ence Monitor" which carried a feature article about Dr. MacDou-
gall written by Mrs. W. A. Calder. The magazine picture shows
some of the crocheting which the biologist has done as a hobby.
In the large picture at left she is pictured in her crimson robe,
indicating the European university she attended. In the picture at
the right Dr. MacDougall holds the silver tray presented to her
when she was named Atlanta's Woman of the Year in education
several years ago.

Garber to Talk, Show Slides
Of Holy Land Tomorrow Night

By Carolyn Alford

"Bible Lands Today" is the title of the series of slides
which Dr. Paul Leslie Garber, professor of Bible, will show
tomorrow, April 24, at 8 p. m. in Maclean auditorium. The
program is open to the public.

These scenes of the places and customs of Palestine depict
the Holy Land as Dr. Garber saw

it on his tour in December, 1951.

From Beirut to Dan to Beer-
sheba, the method of plowing, the
animals, the houses, and the bur-
ial customs portray the way of
life of this land which is so sig-
nificant to Bible scholars.

Among the many places of in-
terest which Dr. Garber will tell
of are: Hebron, where the tombs
of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are
located; Samaria, where the ruins
of the city of Jezebel and Ahab
are found; Shiloh, where the Ark
was once kept; Sychar where Ja-
cob's well is; Nazareth, where
Christ spent his chUdhood; and
Jerusalem, where many Biblical
events took place. The slides of
Bethlehem on Christmas Eve will
be especially noteworthy.

In, this program Dr. Garber will
tell of the Mayan Baruch, a collec-
t tive settlement at the foot of Mt.
Herman near the Biblical site of
Dan. Here he tried to see Evelyn
Elkon Bauman, a graduate of Ag-
nes Scott, but he was unsuccess-
ful.

The showing of these slides is

Science Group Gives
Award to AS Prof essor

By JOYCE MUNGER

Our own "Miss Mac" was hon-
ored Friday night at the banquet
of the Georgia Academy of Science
and the Association of Southeas-
tern Biologists. The Southern
Scientific Company of Atlanta
presented Dr. Mary Stuart Mac-
Dougall, professor of biology, with
a $100 award for meritorious ser-
vice as an outstanding biology-
teacher.

This is only one of the many
honors "Miss Mac" has received in
recognition of her service. She
has been a past president of the
Georgia Academy of Science. She
was also president of the Asso-
ciation of Southeastern Biologists
during the second World War and
actually kept it going at that time
when it could not meet. She has
received many awards for re-
search, including the Guggen-
heim Fellowship which is rarely
given to women. In 1944 "Miss
Mac" was Atlanta's Woman of the

Land Installs CA Cabinet

The officers of the 1952-53 Cab-
inet of Christian Association were
installed yesterday at the regu-
lar chapel hour. Helen Land, past
president, conducted the instal-
lation ceremony.

The new committee chairmen
are as follows: Molly Prichard,
Methodist Children's Home; Vir-
ginia Claire Hays, Children's Par-
ties; and Phyllis Fisher, Negro
mission.

Further announcements will be
made next week.

Year.

There are several facets of
"Miss Mac's" position. She has
written) an important biological
textbook, "Biology: The Science of
Life," and manifold articles on
cytology and genetics of Protozoa
and malaria. She has been a pro-
fessor at Agnes Scott for 32
years. She acted as special consul-
tant to the U. S. Public Health
Service for malarial research un-
der the auspices of the U. S.
government during the war.

"Miss Mac" received her de-
grees at Randolph-Macon college,
the University of Chicago, and
the Universite de Montpellier.
From the last she received the
crimson robe which she wears in
academic processions.

Miss MacDougall's students will
vouch for the fact that "patience
and accuracy" are the key to her
success as a teacher, as well as a
scientist. That her success should
be recognized by an organization
in which she has been so active
is fitting.

Freshmen, Sophomores
Finish Class Elections

Monday morning the fresh-
man class finished their elec-
tions for class officers. New
officers are Lucy Murray,
vice-president, and Alice Nun-
nally, secretary-treasurer.

The sophomore class com-
pleted their elections last
Monday morning. Sue Pur-
dom was elected the vice-
president.

Renowned Scientists
Visit AS Campus
For Convention

By CAROLINE REINERO

The thirteenth convention of the
Association of Southeastern Bio-
logists last week-end brought to
the Agnes Scott campus several
hundred guests, including many
renowned scientists from univer-
ties, research institutes, and Oak
Ridge, Tenn, research labora-
tories.

The. Southeastern biologists
met with the Southeastern sec-
tion of the Botanical Society of
America, the Southern Appala-
chian Botanical club, and the Bio-
logy Section of the Georgia Aca-
demy of Science. The scientists
gave 67 papers on the various
phases of research.

On Friday evening, April 18,
at the banquet Dr. Mary Stuart
MacDougall, Agnes Scott profes-
sor of biology, presided as toast-
mistress. She introduced Dr. Al-
ston and the presidents of the
various organizations. In his wel-
coming address, Dr. Alston men-
tioned three reasons why the
scientists were especially wel-
come at this time: first, Agnes
Scott's pride of its new science
hall and desire to show it to the
visiting scientists; second, the col-
lege's desire to honor Dr. Mac-
Dougall, who is retiring this year,
and third, the college's recognition
of the importance of scientists in
the educational field.

Dr. C. B. van Niel from Hop-
kins Marine Station of Stanford
University gave the address on
"The Evolution of Photosynthe-
sis". Besides the award that was
given to Dr. MacDougall ,a num-
ber of other awards were given
to members of the Junior Aca-
demy of Science, a high school af-
filiate of the senior organization-

Dr. Josephine Bridgman, asso-
ciate professor of Biology, was
chairman on the committee on lo-
cal arrangements.

Do You Study?

About two out of every three college students say they put
in more than 10 hours of study time during a normal school
week, according to the ACP National Poll of Student Opin-
ion.

Almost half the student population spend between 10 and
20 hours a week, while more than

a quarter spend less than 10 hours.

Students were asked: Aside
from mid- term week and final
exam week, how much studying
time do you estimate you spend
during a normal week?

The replies revealed that 28
per cent of the students question-
ed studied only 10 hours or less
per week: 45 per cent studied
from 10 to 20 per week; 16 per
cent studied from 20 to 30 hours
per week, and only five per cent
spent 30 hours or more with their
texts. %

Those who "don't know" claim
a 'Very irregular schedule." Says
one student, "I've never had a
normal week."

Graduate students seem to
study most. Thirty-five per cent
of them put in more than 20 hours
a week, as opposed to 19 per cent
for freshmen and 23 per cent for

seniors.

"Most of the time you don't
know what you're supposed to
study for," complains a pre-law
sophomore at the University of
Akron. He studies less than 10
hours a week. But a sophomore in
music says she studies " whenever
I get a chance," about 15 hours
a week.

Here are a few of the other
comments:

Says a business senior at Bay-
lor: "My courses overlap too much
to require extensive study."

Says a girl in liberal arts: "Col-
lege work should be difficult, but
not enough to keep you forever
swamped." She studies from 10 to
20 hours a week.

Says a senior in social work:
"I work 52 hours a week and
squeeze my studies in wherever
I can."

Travel and Study

The leading universities of Europe are now completing
arrangements to receive this summer the greatest number of
foreign students since World War II. Students from the
USA will join with students from the Near and Middle East,
Western Europe, and Scandinavia in discussion of present
day problems in a wide number

others.

With the emphasis on peoples
and cultures, all programs feature
visits to art and music festivals,
the theater, opera, concerts and
ballet. Titles of programs, last-
ing two months or more in Europe
include "Sources of Western Civ-
ilization," "Latin Mediterranean
Cillture," "East and West," Bo-
hemia," "Fashion," and "Europe
Grave and Gay." In addition, there
are tours to Mexico and South
America. All-inclusive prices of
tours to Europe, covering a min-
imum of four countries, range
from $565.

For the first time, several im-
portant universities and academic
institutions such as the Institute
of Political Science in Paris are
settinig up International summer
courses and seminars with lectures
and discussions conducted en-
tirely in English. This particu-
lar seminar in current political
and economic questions was pi-
oneered over the past three years
by Travel & Study, of New York
city, and similar programs are
now being developed in England,
Scandinavia, Portugal, Spain, It-
aly, Greece, Turkey and Israel.

The range of topics includes
languages, literature, the history
of art and music, as well as po-
litical philosophy, and the empha-
sis is on meeting one's opposite

Eta Sigs to Party

Classics Club Will Give Skit
Wiener Roast for Department

By Marian McElroy

Shades of Hades! Great Caesar's Ghost, and all that sort
of thing What is this I see before me - - eek! Cerberus, the
three-headed dog, is disarranging my toga.

This plus more will be the theme of the afternoon, Thurs-
day, when Eta Sigma Phi, honorary classical language fra-
ternity, entertains, May 1 at 4

p. m. in the backyard of Dr. Kath-
ryn Glick, professor of classical
languages and literatures.

The order of the day by Mary
Lee Hunnicutt, consul, (president,
that is) concerns a wiener roast.
More uncensored plans concern
a skit- in which all the members of
the club, including Miss Glick
and Dr. Elizabeth Zenn, assistant
professor of classics, will partic-
ipate; a rendition of the first. Ro-
man minstrel; and our own per-
sonal interpretation of a Latin
chorus of the best days of Ye
Olde Rome.

An added attraction on the pro-
gram will be the guest appearance
of Maggie, Miss Glick's dog, who

is a new mother. Her pups, Janet,
Duff, and Miss Muffet, will more
than likely make am unscheduled
appearance.

The date is the Kalends of May
(May 1), Thursday afternoon at
1:30 p. m. Everyone is urged to
wear old clothes, such as blue
jeans, because the management
strictly disclaims responsibility
for mustard stains and dog bites.

Invitations are on their way
from Rome now, and should be
found in the local mail sometime
soon. Those interested in Latin
or Greek should contact a member
of Eta Sigma Phi, thereby winning
an invitation to this Hades of a
party.

Brother's L Q.

My family is upset again. The
psych 201 book says that one test
of a child's intelligence is to have
the little one draw a picture of a
man. The number of details in-
cluded helps to determine the
child's I. Q. We can't decide whe-
ther my little brother is very pre-
cocious or very unobservant. He
put plenty of the details in the pic-
ture, but who has ever seen any-
body with 12 arms?

I don't think that I was the
only girl embarrassed at the Tech
L F. C. Saturday night. I hated
to be prudish, but I kept' wanting
to ask the vocalist, if she would
like to borrow my date's jacket.
No neckline should be THAT de-
collete, even though styles have
changed radically since the day of
the middy blouse.

Guess I've said enough, prob-
ably too much, but I want you to
remember:

Not everyone can write a poem,
Especially me.

Spinning the Patter

Spring Dances Bring Out
Frothy Dresses, Red Roses

By CAROL JONES

Soft strains of music floated on the balmy spring air; couples be-
gan drifting in, pausing to gasp their admiration on first seeing the
rose-twined garden 'Which burst into bloom before their eyes. It was
the annual spring formal of Cotillion club, the "Moonlight and Roses"
ball, and the old dining hall in Rebekah was scarcely recognizable
behind the profusion of red roses which spiralled up the columns,
climbed the trellises and cascaded over an archway. The romantic
scene was iced by the frothy organdy and net forma Is the girls wore,
heralding the arrival of spring; it was spiced by the men in black
and white! The music was smooth and dreamy, and Nancy Lee. Jackie
Josey, Genevieve Guardia, Adelaide Ryall, Lois Dryden, Erline
Lide, Jan Varner, Margaretta Lumpkin, Liz Craig, and many many,
others enjoyed the dancing.

At the same time, over at Tech, Louis Prima was priming his
trumpet for a night of hot jazz and cool blues. Playing a two-night
stand for the Inter-Fraternity Council, the Prima orchestra provided
excellent dancing at both the terrace dance Friday and the formal
Saturday for another large group of hottehtots. Susanna Byrd, Bet-
ty Ackerman, LeGrande Smith, Mary Ann Wyatt, Jamie McCoy, B. J.
Schaufele, Libby Wilson, and Nansi-Lee Smith were all there having
a wonderful time, along with dozens more!

As if this weren't enough to put any normal girls' school in such
a flurry of excitement that all studies would, be forgotten, at least
for a few hours (never admit it, girls!), several pioneers ranged far
afield in search of adventure. Up at Davidson Spring Frolics was
in full swing, and Ruth Mallette, Peggy Bridges, Bet Linton, Joan
Pruitt, Mary Evelyn Knight, Carolyn Wells, Allena Doggett, Mary
Land, and several others blazed a trail in that direction.

When the weekend was over aind girls dropped into their daily
routine once more, many of them carried with them very special
memories of a wonderful time. For Keller Henderson, who received
a Delta Sigma Delta (dental fraternity) pin, Lucy Murray, who has
a Delta Tau Delta pin, and Kassie Simmons, who has a diamond, these
memories will not soon fade. And the rest of us will just have to
store our memories away till next weekend, when the town turnis
upside down for Dooley's.

Seniors Remain Undefeated
As Softball Season Continues

By Carolyn Wells

The seniors remained the only undefeated team in the
1952 softball season last Wednesday as a result of a brilliant
shut-out by pitcher Winnie Strozier last Wednesday over the
juniors, 3-0.

The seniors scored their three in the first inning when
Winnie singled Ann Herman and Mattie Hart home,
trotting across the plate herself on
Jeannine Hopkins' long single to
left field.

The rest of the game was strict-
ly a pitchers' battle, with Mary
Keth Robinson and Winnie match-
ing strike for strike. Jane Dahl-
house was particularly effective
fcr the yellows, fielding well and
connecting at the plate for a single
and a double.

The five o'clock game, between
the sophomores and freshmen, was
anything but a pitchers' battle,
the sophs emerging with a fat 15-
run lead at the end of the five
innings, 21-6.

Hitting everything the fresh-
men could offer in the top of the
first, the pinks boomed to an 8-0
lead. However it seemed for
a while that the baby team was
going to forge ahead, as they cut
the lead to 8-5 by the fourth in-
ning. The game went up in smoke
as the sophs scored inane in the
fourth and four in the fifth to as-
sure themselves of their first soft-
ball victory in 1952.

Julie Grier, Katherine Mat-
thews, and Joen Fagan swung im-
pressive bats for the victors; Mar-
ji Henderson fielded very well and
Judy Promnitz pitched a stellar

Seniors Trounce Freshmen;
Sophs Fizzle After Early Lead

By Margaret Rogers

The seniors and juniors continued in the winning column
last Friday when they defeated the freshmen 20-1 and the
sophomores 8-7, respectively. The freshmen proved no
match for the seniors' greater experience, but the sophomores
gave the juniors a few innings of worry.

The freshman-senior tilt began

at 4 p. m., and the two teams were
able to hold each other to a score-
less tie until the third inning. The
seniors then rallied to score 17
runs in the third period. The
freshmen scored their single run
for the day in the third inning
also. In the fourth inning the
seniors wrapped up the game with
three more runs, making the fin-
al tally 20-1.

Mattie Hart and Winnie Stro-
zier showed their usual good brand
of ball for the senior team. By
scoring the freshman rum Betty
Ann Jacks proved herself a val-
uable team member. Connie Curry
also showed good headwork on
her slide into third.

At 5 p. m. the junior-sophomore
tilt began with a bang. The sophs
scored seven runs on their first
*,lme at bat. This proved to be
their only score the whole after-
noon. The juniors consistently

Brawn over Brains

AS Athletes Go to Georgia,
Rank First in Wet Play Day

By Joen Fagan

The rains came, and we went to Athens for the Georgia
Athletic Federation of College Women's play day. (GAFCW
to the tongue-tied.)

In spite of floods, mud holes, fallen curls, and soggy ten-
nis shoes, Agnes Scott was represented in its best brawn-over-
brains tradition and tied ivvith
GSCW for first place.

Our "champeen" swimmer, Lilla
Kate Parramore (helpfully assist-
ed by three Valdosta girls) won
second place in the swimming
meet. Our star ping-pongers, Joyce
Munger and Mac McElroy, won
the doubles, single-handed. Ann
Baxter and Joen Fagan played
badminton; Sarah Crewe Hamil-
ton, volley ball; and Anne Thom-
son, softball. Mrs. Story mostly
stood around, overcome by the
hitherto undisplayed abilities of
her charges.

Joyce and Mac were all set to
add the tennis championship to
our victories but the courts would
not dry. Archery had to be can-
celed too, due to the misty wea-
ther.

Competition was not the only
order of the day. We also square-
danced, relayed, and watched ex-
hibitions by Georgia's modern
dance club, tumbling club, and
swimming team.

Between events we got to meet
the representatives from about a
dozen Georgia colleges. Ail add-
ed up, it was a very sporting day.
Our rain hats off to the GAFCW
and Georgia!

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday. April 30, 1952

Students' Request

The last faculty skit was the famous one of the year 1947.

For fve y ears no such skit has been produced, so that for
the first time in history Agnes Scott seniors are graduating
without that enlightening part of their education, the faculty
skit.

What is the reason for this dilemma? The faculty says
that no date can be found in the calendar for such an event.
The students, however, agree that a time should be found.
Next year's calendar, which will soon be under discussion,
should include a date for the faculty skit. ,

We have heard about the wonderful production with which
the faculty entertained the students in 1947. We have seen
a small part of it in the excerpt on Black Cat day. We know
that our faculty has talent. We would like to see it used in
the production of another FACULTY SKIT. J. M.

Physical Therapy Opens
Hew Field for Women

Are you going to be a career girl? If so, you'll want to do
something that will be interesting (and stay interesting),
and that will pay well. Here it is the field of physical
therapy.

In 1952 the American Physical Therapy association hopes
to recruit many students for

training in the schools of physical
therapy in this country. As a
profession, physical therapy offers
a wide variety of job opportuni-
ties. Girls may work in a general
hospital, a special hospital, a re-
habilitation center, an industrial
clinic, a school for crippled chil-
dren, a physician's office, a pub-
lic health center, or a Veteran's
administration hospital.

Physicial therapy is important
in helping people who are physi-
cally disabled in- any way. Aid can
be given to victims of polio or
arthritis, to war casualties and to
many others that are chronically
ill.

The war in Korea has increased
the demand for physical therapists
in the Army and Air Force. One
requirement is a bachelor's degree,
including satisfactory courses in
the biological and physical sci-
ences and psychology. A selected

applicant is commissioned as a
2nd Lt. in the Women's Medical
Specialist Corps prior to taking
the course.

For further details, address your
inquiries to the Surgeon General,
Department of the Army, Attn.:
Chief, Personnel Division, Wash-
ington, 25, D. C.

matics, and Dr. Katharine Om-
waks, associate professor of psy-
chology, will entertain the seniors
at Dr. Robinson's home this after-
noon from 4:30-5:30 p. m.

Bard is Inspiration
To Battered Scholar

By Jane Landon

The story goes that the quality and universal appeal of
one of William Shakespeare's literary achievements wall ex-
tend from one generation to the next, will withstand the
trials and obstacles placed before their immortality bv such
contemporary bards as Ogden Nash and E. E. Currimings,
and will be "in home free" for

Goodlod Leads Discussion
At Education Dinner

Last night, a dinner was given
for the members of the education
departments of Agnes Scott and
Emory University. The Letitia
Pate Evans dining hall at Agnes
Scott was the scene of the event.
Over 100 people attended.

The dinner began at 6 p. m.
and was followed by a panel dis-
cussion. Dr. Goodlad, visiting pro-
fessor of education ait Agnes Scott,
led the discussion.

Students Reveal Motives
In Seeking College Degree

The prospects of a good job is
the reason most students go to
college, according to results of the
ACP National Poll of Student
Opinion.

The "desire for more know-
ledge" is another frequently stat-
ed reason, but only a few attribute
this motive to other students.

College students from all parts
of the country were -asked to pick
either one or ?fcwo choices which
came closest to their reasons for
attending college. The results:
L A good job after 53 per cent.

2. Desire for more knowledge
36 per cent.

3. To find a mate 2 per cent.

4. It was "the thing to do" 3 per
cent.

5. The parents wished it 5 per
cent

Students were then asked:
which of these reasons do you
feel fits best for the majority of
college students? Here's how they
answered :

1. A good job after college 60
per cent.

2. Desire for more knowledge
11 per cent.

3. To find a mate 5 per cent.

4. It was "the thing to do" 14
per cent.

5. The parents wished it 8
per cent.

7. None of these 2 per cent.

Many of the students comment-
ed that their choice of professions
such as law, education, medi-
cine required them to go to
college. Here aire just a few of
the comments:

A junior from the Pacific coast:
"I want to do something constric-
tive; and in the field of education
I can accomplish this."

A senior coed in home econom-
ics: "Men want a job, women want
a man."

A junior: Went to college "to
attain the goal of entering the
medical profession and to serve
this profession up to its high
standards."

A senior in international rela-
tions: The majority go to college
"to reap the fruits of college social
life."

A coed m education: "I don't
want to be scrubbing floors."

happenings, such as going to
chemistry lab: "My hour is al-
most come, When I to sulphurous
and tormenting flames must ren-
der myself up." (Hamlet, i. 5).
Discussing last night's blind date,
"He is deformed, crooked, old and
sere,

Ill-faced, worse bodied, shapeless

everwhere;
Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt,

unkind.

Stigmatical in making, worse in

mind." (Com. of E., iv, 2).

Upon copying someone's class
rotes: "Spake he so doubtfully,
though couldst not feel his mean-
ing?'" (Com. of E. ii, 1). Class
room scene:

PROF: "Are my discourses
dull? Barren my wit?" (Com. of
E. ii, 1).

SENIOR: "Must I speak now?"
(Mids. N\, iii, 1).

The zoology assignment, accord-
ing to our bard, goes like this:
"Get you your weapons in your
hand, and kill me a red-hipped
bumble-bee on the top of a this-
tle." (Mids. Ni., iv, 1). Sympathy
for one receiving a campus slip:
"Well, your imprisonment shall
not be for long." (Rich, iii, i, 1).
Advice to the penniless, "Thou
hadst need send for some money."
(Tw. N.,.ii, 4.)

Upon seeing another diamond
ring:

JUNIOR: "I was adored once
too." (Tw. N., ii, 4.)

FRESH: "Fie" (Found any-
where).

And then when the discouraged
professor looks over the second
quarter math class, "How come
these things to pass? (Mids. N.,
iv, 1.)

I dare anyone to say that the
study of Shakespearean dramas
is a waste of time. See how they
can be applied to life around us?
Yet I have fears that good old
Will would have had something
to say about the proceeding vari-
ations upon liis themes:
"Come, these jests are out of sea-
son;

Reserve them till a merrier hour
than this." (Com. of E., i, 2.)

Library Receives
German Books

Ursula Mayer von Tessin, spe-
cial student to Agnes Scott from
Germany in 1937-38, is making a
handsome and continuous contri-
bution to the McCain library fund.

Since exportation of money is
prohibited, she wrote the Alumnae
office last spring and offered to
send any German books the libra-
ry would like to have.

Dr. Muriel Harn, professor of
German, and Mrs. N. E. Byers, li-
brarian, immediately went into
consultation and produced a long
list of titles which the library has
needed for some time but which
either have been unobtainable
from this country or have defied
the budget.

Ursula has sent the 11 volumes
of the "Deutsche Literatur" series
on the list and is now in search
of the other wanted items. ,

Spinning the Patter

Scofties Brave Elements
To Frolic With Dooley

By CAROL JONES

When Dooley decided to come out for his annual frolic over at
Emory last weekend he really put on a show. Even 'having to com-
pete with the weaitlher didn't seem to disturb him much. From the
first skit Friday afternoon til the last dance Saturday night the
weekend -was a sparkling success, and it kept scores of Scot ties scam-
pering to and fro trying to take it all in!

An unsuspecting visitor in Main between two and four o'clock
Friday afternoon would have wondered whether he were at a girls'
college in Georgia, an Arabian Nights harem, or a circus or even
on some strange new world! For boys and girls wandered through
the halls wearing everything from frog suits and grass skirts to top
hats and Indian headdresses! And all shades of colors of skin were
represented including blue!

If this same visitor had been blessed with enoqgh native curiosilty
to investigate further the Strang situation, he would probably have
followed some the cars over to the Emory campus, where he would
have witnessed even stranger sights. Starting down Fraternity Row,
he would have found the Blue Lady, Mary Jo Chapman, starring in-
Pi Kappa Phi's production of "When Worlds Collide." Going on a -lit-
tle farther down the row, he would have found Warriette Potts, Gin-
nie Lee Floyd, Llew Wommack, Dele Thompson, Lavinia Clark, and
Liz Lloyd in eastern dress at the Sigma Chi house, representing prin-
cesses, slaves, and dancing girls in "The Thief of Bagdad." When he
reached the ATO circus tent he would have seen Sue Piirdom, Eleanor
Hutchinson, Ruth Whiting, and Tibby King all performing io "The
Greatest Show on Earth." And at the end of the row, Sue Walker
and Mildred Kater danced the can-can aboard PiKA's "Show Boat"
while Grace Olert strolled the docks watching.

After the skits the costumed crowd danced to the music of
Johnny Long's orchestra in the Emory gym. And most of them
liked it (or could it have been the men?) well enough to return
Saturday for the tea dance and the formal. Jane Crook, Adeline
Miller, Danielle Drey, Sally Veale, Donna MeGinty, Barbara West,
West, Doris Powell I could use the whole page telling who was
there! Agnes Scott claimed three members of Dooley's court
Eloise Eubanks for the Phi Delta Theta, Ginnie Lee Floyd for Sigma
Chi, and Mary Jo Chapman for Pi Kappa Phi. Everyone hated to see
Dooley settle down for another year of quiet (?) study.

Well, girls, that's it. We had an exciting weekend, especially Sarah
Petty, who received a Phi Delt pin from down Auburn way.

'Man Called Peter 1

"A Man Called Peter/' by
Catherine Wood Marshall,
1936 alumna, is still on the
bestseller lists months after

Seniors Remain Undefeated;
Juniors Down Freshmen 6-4

By Margaret Rogers

The seniors remained undefeated after trouncing the soph-
omores 11-3 last Wednesday, April 23. That same afernoon
the juniors defeated the freshmen 6-4. The games were
played on Wednesday because few of the players could be
present on Friday

At 4 p. m. Ann Herman stepped
to bat for the seniors and made
the first a'r.d only run for her team
in that inning. In -the second in-
ning there were three runs, in
the third inning, four, and in the
fourth inning, three, bringing the
final tally to 11.

Winnie Strozier walloped the
ball far enough down the field to
bring in the only homerun of the
afternoon. Mat tie Hart, Barbara
Brown, Ann Herman, and Jean-
nine Hopkins were consistent hit-
ters for the team, making two and
three runs during the game.

The sophomores failed to score
in the first innicg, but rallied in
the second to bring in one run in
that inning and one in the third
and fourth. Patty Boring, Julia
Grier, and Marji Henderson trot-
ted across home plate to score one
run each, one in the second irminig
and two in the third.

At five the juniors came to bat
and started the game with a bang
by scoring three of their six runs.
The freshmen returned some of
the juniors' medicine to them by
scoring two runs in the first in-
ning, but failed to score again un-
til the fourth. The juniors' last
runs were in the second and third
periods and the final tally was*
6-4.

Ann Baxter was heavy hitter

for the juniors with two runs. She
was backed by Ann Potts, Frances
Cook, and Anne Thomson, who
scored one run each. Mickey Scott
was freshman high scorer with
two runs, and she was backed by
Nairn Arwood and Betty Jacks, who
scored once each.

Miss Llewelyn Wilburn, associ-
ate professor of physical educa-
tion, and Mrs. Stratton Story, in-
structor, umpired the games.

Gym Shorts

Plans are being completed for
the tournaments to be held here
this quarter. There will be com-
petition in tennis, singles and
doubles, golf, and archery. All
those wishing to enter are re
minded that they must sign the
lists posted in the mail room im-
mediately, as the managers are
eager to have all tournaments
over before exams.

FLASH! It's almost time for
the much-sought-after ASC let-
ters to be presented. All who have
been participating in the athletic
program this year and have ac-
cumulated the necessary 800
points are requested to turn in
the list of activities to Julia Grier
as soon as possible.

Professors Joio Met Cast,
Don Shoe Polish For 'Aida

By Joyce Munger

Two Agnes Scott professors have decided that if they
weary of teaching they can always join the Metropolitan
Opera company. .

Attracted by the mobs of autograph-seekers around the
two stars, this reporter hastened to the scene of the confu-
sion. Here is their story of their

swift climb to fame as they reveal-
ed it in person to this reporter for
exclusive publication.

Dr. Elizabeth Zenn, assistant
professor of classical languages
and literatures, and Dr. Elizabeth
Barineau, associate professor of
French, enjoyed their exciting ex-
perience as "supers" in "Aida" last
Saturday night and the hospital-
ity of the professional members
of the company. They applied for

admission to the cast shortly be-
fore curtain time and since very
few women were needed for "su-
pers," they had a little difficulty
getting in. After making friends
wiih the doorman and promising
to paint their faces, however, they
were finally given the parts of
slaves.

Misses Zenn and Barineau were
then conducted to the basement,

Intellectual Th

ieves?

Recently many protests have been heard throughout the
campus concerning the abuse of what would otherwise be
a very workable part of the honor system. This abuse is the
removal of reserved books from the library without the
proper checking-out procedure.

This situation has become increasingly intolerable. It is
true that a great number of students often have to use the
same book, but it is not fair for several student to deprive
the majority of their opportunity to do the necessary out-
side reference work. The reserve book s}'stem was especial-
ly planned to provide for a fair distribution of material and
to suit the convenience of boarders and day students. Stu-
dents who are negligent in conforming to library rules are
guilty of thoughtlessness and a lack of regard for others.

Offenders must realize that they are part of an integrated
community and that in obeying rules they are only protect-
ing themselves. J. S.

Summer Plans

At this time of the year there is a tendency to look toward
the future and make plans for the summer. Many of us have
planned trips and others have planned a long rest to help us
forget the school routine for three months. But is that rest
going to be spent in complete idleness which would be a won-
derful vacation but one without any constructive results?

After we are graduated from college, we will probably nev-
er again have a three months' summer vacation. While we
have the time, why don't we do something that will help
ourselves and somebody else? There are many jobs offered
during the summer as camp counselor, office work, clerk in
a store, nurse's aid, Red Cross work, and helper in our fath-
ers' businesses. There are jobs for those seeking lucrative
positions as well as pure service projects.

Don't let those summer months fly by and have nothing
to show for them next fall. It is not difficult to find work
that is both enjoyable and rewarding C. R.

Agnes Scott 'Supers'

(Continued from page 1)

given some costumes left over
from the days of Caruso, and pre-
sented with their paint, which
turned out to be ordinary shoe
polish. The chorus, which was al-
so dressing in the basement, kind-
ly assisted them with their make-
up.

The professors were quite im-
pressed with the cordiality of the
stars of the opera, particularly
of Jerome Hines, Norman Scott,
Blanche Thebom, and Zinka Mil-
anov, who was warming up in full
voice in her dressing room. These
principals commented on the polite
behavior of the Atlanta audience.

Miss Zenn and Miss Barineau
were amazed at the utter confu-
sion backstage. It was much too
small for such a large-scale pro-
duction as "Aida." The singers
were bumping into each other,
and several men were having a
very loud argument in Italian
while the opera was underway.
The most confusion resulted, how-
ever, from the loss of a large piece
of scenery.

No stage instructions were igiv-

en to the "supers." Miss Zenn was
still trying to convince Miss Bari-
neau that she could not be a
blonde Ethiopian but should have
her hair dyed with ink, when they
were ordered to look dejected
and were pushed on the stage.
There was much controversy
about the manner of the slaves'
entrance. Leonard Warren thought
that they should be thrown on
the stage in chains. The Two Ag-
nes Scott stars were disappointed
that they had to walk on instead
of making their entrance as Mr.
Warren advocated.

Our two slaves were quite in-
terested in the stage proceedings.
They were amused by the exagger-
ated expressions of the principals.
They also noticed that the orches-
tra conductor sang the words
along with them, sometimes out
loud.

After their performance Miss
Zenn and Miss Barineau attempt-
ed, with little success, to remove
their make-up. It. was a frantic
evening but quite worthwhile, they
decided. They efforts were so
highly valued that each was
awarded $1.

Met Inspires Peon
To Artistic Creation

By Jane Landon

If you keep saying to yourself "Puccini did it, why can't
I?" you're bound to come up with something creative. The
Met's annual visit gave me the urge to write an opera it's
entitled "She's Nobody's Fool" or "Maybe Someone Will
Adopt Her." Following is a synopsis:

This is the story of Mimi, the

dyed-in-the-wool party girl, Ra-
dames, the strong, silent-as-a-
sphinx type, and Pinkerton, one
of the boys in bell-bottom trousers
home on leave.

NovV Mimi was a social butter-
fly who lived in
Greenwich Vil-
lage in a pent-
house which
had been con-
verted into an
attic. She was
pinned to Ra-
dames who be-
longed to some
Egyptian letter
society, the r.ame of which I can't
spell because it was written in
hieroglyphics. Mimi and Radames
were mad about each other, and
they often sang tender songs like
"He Reminded Me of a Doorknob
Cause Any Girl Could Turn His
Head."

They had parties in Mimi's
attic every Saturday night for all
of their society friends, and whein
this Bohemian crowd got together
you never could tell what clever
pranks they would play. One of
the fellows, whose name was Fig-
aro, cut hair for half price at the
parties, and nine sisters who call-
ed themselves the Valkyries, for
lack of a better name, entertain-
ed by singing a medley of "The
Anvil Chorus" and "The Black-
smith Boogie."

The story opens one night when
Radames has to go to a fraternity
meeting and Mimi is left to han-
dle the party by herself. All of
the old gang shows up, but. this
time there is a new face Kni the
crowd, a sailor called Pinkerton
who is a fireman first-class on the

Catherine Crowe (left) and Shirley Heath (right) are the recently
elected officers of the class of 1952. Catherine is the lifetime
president; Shirley is secretary until the second reunion.

H. M. S. Pinafore. Pinkerton is
flashing around a beautiful dia-
mond studded ATO pin which Mi-
ma wants to add to her collection,
so she starts singing "The Jewel
Song." Pinkerton, not to be out-
done, comes right back with "The
Toreador Song" because he is
very good at throwing the bull
(if you'll excuse the uncouth ex-
pression), and then they sing a
snappy duet of "Our Love is Here
to Stay."

Suddenly one of the
girls, called Charmin' Carmen,
cries, "Lookest thou to the pas-
sageway, Radames cometh," and
sure enough there he stands piti-
fully singing "La Vie En Rose,"
as if his heart is breaking. He
realizes that Mimi has been tak-
ing sunbaths, so he sings "Mimi,
Your Little Nose is Blistered,"
acting very nonchalant about see-
ing Pinkerton at the party. Then
he gets very noble about the whole
thing and says that he will sell
his soul to the devil, but Mimi
calms them all down by sayting
that she is dying of consumption
anyway, and while Pinkerton
rushes out to iget some strepto-
mycin tablets the curtain falls.
(The opera isn't over but I could-
n't think of a good finale, and
anyway the union makes the
stagehands leave at 11 no matter
what.)

Spinning the Patter

Campus Migrates Techward;
Met Adds to Weekend Whirl

Have you ever helped ambush a streamliner? Have you ever
been in an opera? Or have you ever been in the fabulous metropolis
of Dalton, Ga.? These were a few of .the varied activities which
kept the social life of the Agnes Scott student (or teacher) exci/ting
last weekend.

Although you may be inclined to say "It can't happen here" to the
first of these questions, the Tech KA's proved that "anything can
happen" when they staged an ambush of the Southern Railway at
Glenwood Park Saturday. To keep the swimming party lively
and wet (a good old Southern tradition) the 'boys and girls armed
themselves with water pistols and water- filled bottles, buckets, and
garbage cans. Half boarded the miniature "Crescent" while the
other half ranged themselves along the track with heavy artillery.
When the two sides met, the water-works were set off in full fury,
and Jeanne Heisley ,Laura Hobbs, Martha Crowell, Mary Land, Mary
Ann Wyatt, Frankie Marbury, Connie Currie, and Nan Scott came
home all wet! You'd better keep an eye on these girls some of
them managed to salvage a few water pistols!

The Metropolitan' Opera drew a whole crowd of students to At-
lanta for a more cultured form of entertainment last week. The
performance of "Aida" Saturday night was especially interesting- to
Agnes Scotters, because two of our own faculty members, Miss Zenn
and Miss Barineau, performed in it.

All local SAE's at Tech had a big weekend with their spring formal
Saturday might, and Caroline Lester, Nancy Whetstone, Alma Scog-
gins, Genevieve Guardia, "Bunny" Hall, Linda Smith, V. C. Hays,
and Donna McGinty all had a wonderful time. Lil Kneeland, Carolyn
Tinklepaugh, and Marji Henderson went to a party at the ATO house
at Tech, Saturday.

Off campus for the weekend, Joan Adair, Sidney Newton, and Cis-
sie Schor headed west, Alabamy bound. Connie Major, Jane Crook,
and Patty Morgan went north, but they were waylaid before they
reached Yankee territory Connie and Jane in North Carolina, Pat-
ty in Tennessee. Roberta Williams, Betty McLellan, and Louise Ross
didn't even make it across the state line, but stopped in Dalton.

There were several out-of-town visitors last week. Connie Orms-
by had a guest, and Donna Dugger had two visitors. Marilyn Belanus
had a guest also, Mary Muldrow, who was a student here last year.

Harriette Potts was starry-eyed Sunday morning because of a Phi
Delta Theta pin she received Saturday night. And Frances Sistar
was elected sponsor of Phi Gamma Delta at Tech at their formal
Friday night.

Sophomores Win Spirit Cup
With Detailed Activity List

By Betty Stein

"Here's to the sophomores there's nothing that they can-
not do" sang the other classes last Thursday in tribute
to the Class of 1954, newly-announced winners of the Spirit
Cup.

The announcement was preceded by a clever skit depict

ing various activities in which the
classes had participated during
the year. As the climax, Judy
Promnitz, Mistress of Ceremonies,
introduced P. J. Rogers, business
manager, who, representing the
Spirit and attired becomingly in
a sheet, addressed his crystal ball
and the student body with his
announcement of the winning
class. He then presented the large
silver Spirit cup to Jackie Josey,
sophomore class president.

This cup was given to Agnes
Scott by Maier-Berkele, Inc., of
Atlanta and is awarded annually
to the class which best exhibits
an ability to work together as a
group.

Soph Down Frosh JJ-8;
Seniors Win Over Juniors

By Carolyn Wells

Winnie Strozier and Judy Promnitz led the seniors and
sophomores to victory Friday afternoon in two fight-to-the-
finish games, 5-3, and 11-8. In the initial game, the juniors
took an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first, which the seniors
quickly tied in their half of the second, 1-1. Both teams
scored in the third inning, but the

juniors only gleaned two more
runs while the seniors crossed
home plate four times.

The rest of the game was a
tight, th ree-up- and- three-do wn af-
fair, with Mary B. matching Win-
nie pitch for pitch. Mary Beth
sent three seniors down swinging,
giving no free passes, and Winnie
whiffed seven juniors, walking
three. Awn Baxter and Mattie
Hart did excellent jobs. Jeannine
Hopkins and Frances Blakeney
waved the big sticks for the op-
posing teams, each blasted triples.

The freshmen played flawless
ball in the second game for two
innings, but things blew sky-high
in the third as the sophs' bats
cracked out five runs. Having led
2-1 until the disastrous third, the
frosh blasted right back in their
half of the inning for four runs,
tying the score at 6-6.

The sophomores kept their pace
in the fourth, however, and added
five more tallys to their score.
The freshmen gleaned two more
runs in a last-minute effort but
fell short of a victory by three
runs. Sue Purdom and Pat Pat-
terson were the big guns for the
soph class both at bat and in the
field. Julie Beeman, Molly Prit-

chard and B. A. Jacks sparkled
for the underdogs.

Spectators (of which there were
quite a few!) and players alike
agreed that these two games were
by far the most exciting of the
1952 softball season.

Lineups Seniors: Herman,
Hart, Hopkins, Strozier, Freeman,

15 AS Students to Embark
For England, Continent in June

By JOYCE MUNGER

"Have you had all your shots
yet?"

"Is your passport all in order?"

These are two of the most fre-
quently asked questions on cam-
pus these days, for in the next
month a large portion of the cam-
pus will be sailing for foreign
parts. We have interviewed 15
of the lucky girls who will soon be
travelling abroad. Here are their
plans.

Helen Land has planned a very
interesting trip. She will leave
for Europe on June 25 as a mem-
ber of a group of college students
from all over the country. The
trip, -ailed the European Work-
Study seminar, is sponsored by
the National Council of the YMCA
and the YWCA. T Ielcn will visit
England, France, Germany, Swit-
zerland, Italy and Yugoslavia.

The purpose of this trip is to
study the social, economic, relig-
ious, and political problems of Eu-
rope today. The travellers will

meet and live with students, and
will meet leaders of industry, gov-
ernment, universities, and the
church. Helen does not yet know
what manual labor she will be do-
ing in Yugoslavia, but in Zagreb
she will work eight, hours daily on
some student project. Last year
the group helped to build a school
dormitory.

Brownelle Tour

Another interesting tour is that
of Ann Herman, Tibby King, and
Ann Parker. They are planning
to join a group of college students
on a Brownelle tour to France,
England, Germany, Ireland, Scot-
land, Italy, Switzerland, and Por-
tugal. The girls will leave June
18 and return August 3.

Sylvia Moutos is planning an in-
teresting trip to France, Italy,
and Greece and then north to Bel-
gium, Holland, England, and pos-
sibly to Spain and Germany. Syl-
via, her sister Helen, 'her mother,
and a friend will fly over June
12. They will tour Europe by car.

Jinnie Brewer is joining a group

of Birmingham college stude-nts
on a Brownelle tour of England,
France, Switzerland, Italy, Ger-
many, Belgium, and Holland. They
will leave on July 3, will tour Eu-
rope by bus, and will return the
last of August.

Four other seniors, Phyllis Gal-
phin, Adelaide Ryall, Margaretta
Lumpkin, and Ann Boyer 'will
travel around Europe on the NSA
hospitality tour. Sailing from New
York on July 15, they will spend
lwo weeks each in Germany, Hol-
land, and England in the homes of
college students. They will have
two or three weeks free time to
visit Italy, France, and Switzer-
land. The four girls will return
on Sept. 13.

Belle Miller is among the lucky
juniors going to Europe this sum-
mer. She applied for work in
Europe through the Presbyterian
commission on campus life, which
obtained a job tor her in London
through the British Council of
Churches. Belle will sail on June

In Retrospect

Too often newspapers criticize but fail to commend where
praise is deserved. There are many individuals and organ-
izations on our campus who have served this year with their
talents or with plain hard work. To them this editorial is
devoted. Here are a few to whom thanks are due:

The May Day committee writer, producer, the art de-
partment for its cooperation, the costume committee, the
physical education department for its aid, the orchestra, and
the entire cast. All agreed that it was one of the most suc-
cessful campus productions.

Dr. Alston, whose convocation talks in the past few
weeks have been most valuable and appropriate.

The college authorities responsible for the new tennis
courts which have been a source of pleasure to so many
students.

The Social committee, who installed the new snack bar,
and who earlier in the year provided the much needed
new recreation room.

The senior class, for their highly ingenious Senior Opera,
Which will be 'remembered as a wonderful climax to the
year's activities. J. M.

Observations From a Distance

Any opinions voiced by a small college weekly on the
current confused political situation are not founded on any
delusions of influence upon or predictions about those de-
cisions made in the smoke-filled convention rooms. Never-
theless, a few random observations from this safe distance
cannot be resisted.

Americans seem to be in the market primarily for a can-
didate with unquestionable integrity and administrative ex-
perience. It's hardly a coincidence that a senatorial crime-
buster and a general-diplomat are the leading contenders.
This might be interpreted as a silent judgment on the pres-
ent administration.

Secondly, it appears, as it did four years ago, to be a Re-
publican year, as indicated by the marked interest in Re-
publican primaries and the vigor of the Southern indepen-
dents. The fact that so many voters have crossed party
lines to register their support for a GOP nominee is indic-
ative of either dissatisfaction with the Democrats or over-
whelming popularity and appeal of the other party's choice.

Thirdly, for the first time in our memory, Southern hopes
are raised, perhaps unduly so, for her favorite sons who
nevertheless are monopolizing the pre-convention Demo-
cratic limelight. They may yet surprise the Old Guard.

The real precedent will be set, however, if the candidate
who has done virtually nothing personally to advance his
candidacy, except to smile most pleasantly from across the
ocean, should become the next president. Some critics
would deny him their support because his position of diplo-
matic responsibility has curtailed his statements on minutiae
of domestic politics. Yet how many voters themselves have
violent convictions about Podunk's hydro-electric plarwt. or
even the St. Lawrence seaway project or reciprocal trade
agreements?

Many political observers are worried about the chances of
this favorite, though distant, candidate when he returns
to face the 21 questions posed by his closest competitor, as
well as the multitude of others that tricksters have practised
for lo, these many months. Without committing ourselves to
any definite predictions, we are inclined to agree with the
N. Y. Times writer who commented last week:

"If any candidate for president in this country candidly
admitted some day that he was sorry but he did not really
have all the answers to all the questions confronting the
human race, he might be swept into office by the common
sense of a grateful electorate." P. S.

Sound and Fury

modern poetry gets workout
from fearless feature editor

By Jane Landon

I think that modern poetry is really exciting after
all, it's really a gamble to see if you get the same meaning
out of it that the author put in it, if any. It has its own
unique form, idioms, vocabulary, and other qualities
these contemporary poets use all lower case type, lots of
dots, onomatopoeia, etc. There

are few other vvays in which one
2an express oneself so clearly, so
purposefully, so completely as in
some poinied emotional poem.
Take for instance this original
poem:

The ant comes on little cat's feet,
It sits looking over student and

prof,
In outdoor class,
Deciding which to sting,
Stings,

And then moves on.

The first metaphor, the ant
coming on a
cat's foot is
very apropos
because fleas
come on cats'
feet, and they
are insects and
so are ants.
Then the pic-
ture of the pro-
fessor with his
of knowledge-hun-
gry students is vividly brought
out as they sit around reading va-
rious and sundry literature. Next,
the period of the ant's indecision
is clearly conveyed by the words
"sit" and "deciding," and then the
climax is reached.

The w^hole of the pome
builds up to this climax
the soft, patter of a furry little
kitten's feet, the faint breeze
through the trees, the slow drone
of the professor's voice, the mossy
ground underfoot, the fluffy white
clouds, the golden shafted rays of
the sun all of these things are
climaxed by the one penetrating
word 1 "STINGS!" The shock is
magnificent. Then the climax des-

Collegiate Press Review

New Bonk Lists Statistics,
Gives Facts About Graduates

A book crammed full of statistics about college graduates
has just been published. It's called, "They Went to College:
The College Graduate in America Today," and was compiled
by Ernest Havemann and Patricia Salter West.

Probably the biggest point made in the book is one which
just about everyone has known

all alorag, although it is nice to
have it well documented. That
point is: college Students are bet-
ter off, materially, than- those who
do not go to college, despite
the fact that about 70 per cent of
college graduates worked at least
a pari of their way through school.

The marital statistics go like
this: most graduates get mar-
ried, and most of them stay mar-
ried. The men are particularly
fortunate in this regard. Only six
per cent of them are bachelors,
while 31 per cent of the ex-coeds
are spinsters.

Incidentally, the more money
made by married graduates, the
more children they have. This is

directly contrary to the trend in
the general population.

.Almost four out of 10 college
graduates think of themselves as
Republicans, between two and
three as Democrats and between
three and four as independent
voters.

But, the book shows that the
party labels of the college gradu-
ate almost always follows the vot-
ing predispositions of their par-
ents. Only one out of 10 has ac-
tually joined the opposite party of
his parents. Interestingly enough,
more Democratic fathers have lost
sons or daughters to the R,epub-
licans than vice versa.

In every field, grade-A students

cends with "and then moves on,"
so if you care to read the poem
backwards you get the same ef-
fect.

Another poem I've written goes
thusly:

Crash, slam, crash,

Bcp, crackle, bop,

Bang, rip, bang,

."loar, scream, roar . . .

This is hovv Hopalong Cassidy

sounds on
television

When you aren't looking.

Note the technicality of tech-
nique :n this one the first let-
cer of the second word in each ot
che first four lines is the same as
ihe first letter of the first and
last words on the successive lines.
This gives the poem unity.

Two of the ablest poets (exclud-
ing myself) in school wrote this
next one, and it is really "full of
sound and fury, signifying noth-
ing."

. . . tree, with hungry grey arms
reaching upward, reaching up-
ward
to the sky
i hat is not there;
ah, but it is there,
and will be there
as long as we . . .

Isn't that really great? Power-
ful, and SO philosophical!
P. S.

Guess I'd better quit while I'm
ahead. By the way, (and here
comes today's moral lesson) when
we're refusing a drink, let's say
"I don't care for one, thanks," or
"It makes me sick," or "Mother
said for me not to," even just plain
"No, thanks," but NOT "Agnes
Scott girls aren't allowed to drink,
you know." Let's not be cowards
and use our Alma Mater's stan-
dards for our own excuses.

That's really all for now, but re-
member:

Poems are made by fools like me,
But I guess that's easy for you
to see.

do not later make more money.

The graduates who make the
most money in later life are those
who went to college with family
support,, who did not have to work

ones who have done best of all

Spinning the Patter

Prospective Students Flock
To Campus for May Day

By CAROL JONES

Summer is definitely in the air, and as the close of the school year
draws near the usual rpm of the social whirl is beginning to accel
erate to a whirling dirvish pace. Everyone seems to be eager to
have that last fling 'before leaving for home and a summer of work,
study, or 'travel and fun!

With May Day and Senior Opera attracting visitors from points
east, west, north, and south, the campus was honored with many an
important guest, not the least of whom were the scores of future
hot ten tots who came up for a taste of college life. They had a thrill
ing weekend, for both events were topnotch performances which will
not soon be forgotten.

Fraternity parties at Tech and Dmory were in full swing last week.
Harriet Hampton and Lib McPheeters went to a Delta Tau Delta
party at Emory and Alice Nunnally went to a Theta Chi party.
Erline Lide, Donna McGinty, Nan Arwood, and Vivian Hays were at
the Emory SAE house dance Saturday night. Phi Delta Theta at
Tech had a formal last weekend, and Kassie Simmons, Lola Purcell,
Ruth Posey, 'and Frankie Marbury were among those attending. Linda
Smith, Virginia Clift, Ginny Lucchese, Carolyn Randolph, and Ju-
leanne Flowers went to the Delta Tau Delta house at. Tech. Liz Lloyd,
Gail Rogers, and Helen Fokes heard the Emory Glee club concert
Friday night.

The ATO's at Tech had a houseparty up at Ocoee, Tennessee;
Joan Simmons, Carolyn Tinklepaugh, Lil Kneeland, Connie Ormsby,
Lib and Letty Grafton, Jeanne Junker, Helen McGowan, and Ruth
Posey were worn out from a weekend of fun when they came back
Sunday night. The Tech Sigma Chi's also had a houseparty, which
Dee Vann and Barbara Dean enjoyed. Jean McKay went to Auburn
for the KA Old South Ball, and Sandra Dickson and Margaret Rogers
went to Clemson for the Junior-Senior prom.

There have been dozens of parties given for girls who will become
brides during the summer or early fall. Betty Mover. Nancy
Hobbs, Frances Summerville, Charlotte Allsmiller, Sylvia
Williams, Kassie Simmons, Katherine Oakley, and Smokey Bowers
have all been entertained recently witjh showers and luncheons.
Others who are being kept ibusy with engagement parties are Nancy
DeArmond, Jackie Simmons, Jeanne Junker, Land is Gotten, Mar-
garet Andes, Carolyn Holtrey, Clairelis Eaton, Helen Huie, and Mar-
tha Fortson. According to the Atlanta Journal, there are 30 seniors
planning to be married shortly after graduation a pretty en-
couraging percentage for any apprehensive lower classman to con-
sider!

I hope that the readers are not as exhausted from reading this
* extensive list of names as I was when I finished compiling it. It
seems that it really pours when it rains around here, even on May
Day. Just as an illustration Carol Edwards and Jean Heisley
received KA pins over the weekend; Betty Roberts and Carol Miller
have Phi Gamma Delta pins; Liz Lloyd and Barbara Kelly have Sig-
ma Chi pins. And Muriel Gear and Ann Evans received rings!

Flash! Ann Turnipseed got a PiKA pin just as we went to press

G ang From Faculty Row Slated
To Meet Varsity Stars Friday

By Calico

Climaxing the softball season will be the annual Faculty-
Varsity game Friday at 4 p. m. All the old-timers will re-
member last year's game which, in spite of casualties and
wet weather, the professors won

by an overwhelming score.

The line-up will be announced

are revealed in chapel tomorrow.

The Varsity will meet the visit-
ing team from Faculty Row this
Friday at 4 p. m. in a fight-to-
the finish battle.

Strike" S'trozier, (distantly relat-
ed to the seniors' "Strike-'em-
out" Strozier), "Sure-fire" Story,
."No-hit" Hayes, and "Catastroph-

Seniors Win 1952 Title
In Fight-to-Finish Game

By Carolyn Wells

A thrilling battle from the freshmen last Friday gave the
seniors a fright, as they managed to eke out a 5-4 victory to
become the softball champions for the fourth straight time
Ann Herman, Mat tie Hart, Cath-

erine Redles, and Kittie Currie
put together four hits for three
runs in the first to jump to a lead
which was threatened but never
relinquished, and proved to be
the decisive victory margin in the
final stages of the game.

Jane Nelson and Sara Legg
swung big bats for the freshman
team in their half of the first to
thrill everyone -with the possibil-
ties of an upset. Sara showed
excellent promise of becoming a
future 'Winnie," holding the sen-
iors to seven hits. The seniors
scored two more in the second to
jump to a 5-2 lead.

Efficient fielding on the part of
the freshmen held the seniors
scoreless for the rest of the game.
In the fourth inning the frosh
made a desperate last try to up-
set the queens of softball, and
all but succeeded, tallying two
runs to make the final score 5-4.

The juniors established them-

selves firmly in second place by
trouncing the third place sopho-
mores soundly, 12-5. Mary Beth
Robinson was her usual effective
self, pitching flawless ball for
three of the five innings. Frances
Cook, Ann Potts, Betty McLel-
lan, and Jane Hook backed up
Mary Beth well in the infield,
Cissy Schor and Katherine Mat-
thews hit nicely for the sophs,
Ginny Lee Floyd and Julie Grier
played stellar defensive games.
Scoring six runs in the first, two
in the second, one in the third
and three in the fourth, the ju-
niors were threatened only once
by the sophs, who scored four
times in the second to narrow the
margin to 8-4.

Library Displays 9 Theses
Of Senior Honors Readers

The honors papers written by nine seniors are now on dis-
play in the library for general inspection. These papers are
the results of a year o^ research in the particular fields of
these seniors.

Mary Lee Hunnicutt has entitled her paper "Recurrent
Animal Imagery in Sophocle's
Plays." This study of Sophocle's
use of imagery as an integral and
functional part of his drama as
well as an aesthetic decoration, as
shown through his use of animal
figures recurrent in the seven ex-
tant plays, was done under the
direction of Dr. M. Kathryn
Glick, professor of classical lan-
guages and literatures.

"T'Other I" is the title of Car-
oline Crea's exam ination of
Swift's use of point, of view in
"A Tale of, a Tub." She has read
under Dr. Ellen Douglass Leyburn,
associate professor of English.

Clairelis Eaton has studied the
German "Novels of Education"
from the middle ages through the
Twentieth Century with emphasis
on Thomas Mann's "Zauberberg"
and Hermann Hesse's "Glasper-
lenspiel." Her paper, written un-
der the direction of Dr. Muriel
Harn, professor of German and
Spanish, is entitled "Der Bildungs-
roman."

"To investigate, in a general
manner, the priciples of resistance
and immunity occurring within
the range of the plant and animal
kingdoms and to study the funda-
mental mechanism by which such
principles are effected" has been
the purpose of Kitty Freeman's
research this year. She has read
under Dr. Mary Stuart MacDou-
gall, professor of biology. The title
of her paper is "Principles and
Mechanism of Plant and Animal
Invmunity."

Muriel Gear's original long nar-

rative, "Look, Stranger," is based
on her trip to Europe last sum-
mer. It was written under the
direction of Dr. Margret Guthrie
Trotter, assistant professor of
English. ,

"Juan Valera, Classical Novelist
of the Nineteenth Century" is the
title of Ruth Heard's paper, writ-
ten under the direction of Dr.

ire." Anita read under Dr. M.

dy of the problim of sin and sal-
vation as seen in his two most im-
portant works, "Crime and Pun-
ishment" and "The Brothers Kar-
amazov."

Thompson Talks of Friendship
In Baccalaureate Address

Describing friendship with
Christ as a means of achieving
reality in religion, Dr. W. Taliaf-
erro Thompson of Union Semin-
ary, Richmond, delivered the Bac-
calaureate sermon, June 1 at 11
a. m. in Presser Hall.

Dr. Thompson pointed out the

DR. VV. T. THOMPSON

plight of many persons in our day
who have lost their religious con-
victions. "One of the most help-
ful approaches to our Christian
faith for those seeking reality is
to think of it as a friendship with
Christ," he said.

Dr. Thompson said we like peo-
ple because of what they are, be-
cause of what they do for us, and
I because of what we do for them.
He explained the necessity of dai-
ly prayer in the process of getting
to know Christ genuinely, that we
may receive the many blessings
which he is waiting to extend to
us. We are more closely drawn
to people when we can do some-
thing for them, as well as they
for us. "If the experience is one-
sided, there can be little or no
growth," Dr. Thompson added.

Turning his attention specific-
ally to the graduating class, Dr.
Thompson asked, "Isn't the best
antidote to doubt and unreality in
your spiritual life not to shut
yourself up with books seeking to
prove the truth of religion; but to
go out to others in service, and
find Him with you?" He conclud-
ed, "Friendship is one of the love-
liest flowers in the garden of life,
but we must cultivate it, if it is
to come to perfection."

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS # Monday, June 2. 1952

June 2, 1952

Each year another senior class completes those 27 term
papers apiece, finishes that 63rd exam, pays the S5 diploma
fee and is declared graduated.

Each year the News editor, not a little awed at her task-
tries to conceive some original way to say goodbye with sin-
cerity without awakening undue nostalgia in the readers
if there be such among the graduating seniors (nostalgia or
readers, that is).

Each year the seniors are reminded that commencement
should mean the beginning of greater things for them be-
cause of something intangible which happened to them al-
most unconsciously as they were transformed from the
youngsters in green to the graduate in black. And yet com-
mencement does mean the end of so many things: those
(rather dubiously named "carefree" under-graduate days, the
close association with many friends, the traditional proces-
sions with "Ancient of Days" and Hymn 701, and perhaps
the end of the overwhelming, ever-present opportunity and
necessity to learn in the classroom.

Yet one's education is certainly void if it suits her for no
life outside the environs of College Avenue, South Candler,
and South McDonough Streets. Graduation is the acid test
of the education, and the results of the four-year experiment
will be known only when the subject is removed from the
cloistered laboratory.

We may never see the end of the '52 experiment in many
cases but on the basis of the intermediary stages, we can
judge what the outcome will be. We admire them for their
leaders and for their followers. They have set an awesome
example in teamwork and accomplishment. They shall pass
the critical test with distinction. We know, also, that in
spite of our occasional flippancy, we shall sincerely miss the
class of 1952.

We therefore wish them success and happiness, with the
parting hope that they will remember us and Agnes Scott
if only when they receive the duns for alumnae dues. P. S.

32 Years of Service

This year along with the members of the class of '52 an
Agnes Scott institution is graduating. Dr. Mary Stuart Mac-
Dougall, for 32 years professor of biology, is leaving her of-
fice.

"Miss Mac" has been honored and extolled in so many
ways and on so many different occasions that any recapit-
ulation of her accomplishments now is superfluous. Suffice
it to say that through her unceasing devotion to her work,
through her service to the campus and to the world of sci-
ence, and through her inspiring personality, she has become a
legend on campus. Through her teaching she has influenced
many students; her textbook has become widely used; her
prized dream has materialized in the form of the new science
hall.

"Miss Mac" is retiring, but the legend will remain. P. S.

Alumnae Records Reveal Jobs of Grads

The alumnae office has an-
nounced that several Agnes Scott
graduates have recently been
elected to hold important offices
in various fields.

Marybeth Little, '48, is now the
College Board editor of Mademoi-
selle magazine. While at Agnes
Scott she was a guest editor of
the magazine in her junior year,
the May Queen, a member of Mor-
tar Board, and the chairman of
Lecture Association.

During the recent League of
Women Voters elections three Ag-
nes Scott alumnae were elected of-
ficers for the state league. Mrs.
W. C. Pauley, '27, is president.
Mrs. C. Gosnell, '27, is treasurer.
Mrs. E. M. Vinson, '40 is chairman
Mrs. Vinson is also the president
of the DeKalb County League of
Women Voters.

Mrs. Fred Landis, '40, is presi-
dent of the President Jefferson

Class Poem

By HELEN LAND

In the eternal moments that are

our days
There cut into one life births and

deaths,

Beginnings and ends, new things

always old
And the old becoming ever new.
As we emerge to try an alien

realm,

Rebirth occurs and we are naked
in it.

Such are we about to be, still
Holding close to us the covering
of what we are.

We bear the sense of the unfinish-
ed in us

More heavy for the knowledge it

will never
Be fulfilled. We hold the vision

seen

In the abstract, not to be realiz-
ed, the pattern
Of perfection never to be traced.

Naked, we shall not clothe us in

the cloth
Of disillusion. But rather we shall

weave

From what was and what is the
garment

Of strong compromise. We shall

not forget,
But remember the past
In the pain for what is present.
In realizing what is not, we shall

find

Realization in what is.

Thus we are born in the moment
Making each an event of eternal
significance.

This is the significant moment.

Class Prophecy

Mountain Gal Boyer Composes
Rhymes About '52 Classmates

By Ann Boyer

There ain't much up in these hills-
Just fishin', maybe, and tending
stills;

But folks don't split the atom
here,

,And life that's sweet, is "my car-
eer."

Thinking mostly fills my time,
And so I wrote this mountain
rhyme

About the lives of those I knew
In my college class of fifty-two.

They all have come along this
way

To escape the madness of the day.
Conventions often meet here, too,
To shout and sing with voices
true.

Teachers come and teachers go
Trying to leam what others know.
Kitty Freeman and Mary Lee

Hunnicut
Have just moved to Harrison Hut.

They just never seemed to get
enough

Of bells and classes and all that
stuff;

So they returned 'to Agnes Scott
I hope they wanted what they
got.

Betty Cheney and Shirley Ford

Say their children don't get bored
If reading makes them yawn and
gulp,

They just show them how to. .
sculpt-

Nancy DeArmond and Shirley
Heath

A book to posterity do bequeath:
To their teaching it adds glee
It's title, "College Geometry."

Teachers really lead the field
A walk around the hills revealed
Martha Fortson and Lola Purcell,

Married now for quite a spell.

Teachers dancing to "Lohengrin's
tune"

Also include Betty Moyer and Bet-
ty Moon;

LaWahna Rigdon and Jackie Sim-
mons.

Teach ABC's with all the trim-
mins.

<x\\en Johnson and Elaine Blane

Children of all ages train
Steps to dance and songs to sing
With Katie Berdanis' accompany-

Louise D una wa y and Jean Cone
In the GEA are well known.
Elaine Evans and Marie Under-
wood

Teach their pupils to be good.

Margaret Andes and Helen Trit-
ton

Think spanking really isn't fit-
tin'

Jean Hansen joins them in their
stand

For "psychology for the common
man."

Jayne Pucketl and Adelaide Ryall

Are leaders in the teachers' file.
Adelaide makes flowery speeches,
While of the budget Janie
preaches.

I saw Ann Parker near the close

The world called her to fight the
foes

Of health of all mankind
And the sight of her haid struck
me blind.

Others in the class, instead of
teachers,

Turned out to be wives of preach-
ers.

They came up by my mountain
shack

To hear their voices echo back.

I saw June Carpenter first that
day

Just why, I guess I needn't say.
Charlotte Allsmiller and Muriel
Gear

Were giggling so I couldn't hear.

Ruth Whiting and Onie Turren-
tine

Tried to brag on Georgia pine.
I squelched them with my own
tour,

And saw Landis Cotten and Jinnie
Brewer.

I surely hated to see them go
They and their husbands all
aglow.

But afterwards the doctors' wives
Came and talked of saving lives.

Ann Goolsby with her Southern
drawl

Came forth with a familiar

"How're you all?"
Emy Evans and her Duane
Combine against the spread of

pain.

Found Florence Worthy sound
asleep

While Howard was fishin' in the
deep.

Jeannine Hopkins also came,
With samples of her hubby's
game.

Although we had no more con-
vention

Others came with varied inten-
tion:

To write, or sew, or just to play
While all remembered Georgia
clay.

Atalante Anason

Is still the very neatest one,
And Anne Bottoms with her

knowledge
Still attends a graduate college.

Barbara Brown is creating
Billie Bryan's just vacating.
Caroline Camp has cut her hair,
Which leaves her looking rather
bare.

From Sybil Corbett, a telegram:
"I just can't seem to leave Siam."
She tried to reach me by tele-
phone,

But there aren't any of those, as
she should have known.

Which on Carolyn Holtrey was

quite a strain;
She fled to the village to catch

the train.
Anita Coyne and Caroline Crea
Have remained smart to this very

day.

Some came with hopes of social
jobs :

Carol Solomon and Nancy Hobbs

Held their husbands by the
sleeves

As did Pat Thomason and Anne

Reeves.

Saw Amelia Cronin, who smiled
and said

Ann Herman finally blushed to
red.

She'd shredded Theresa Dokos'
doll,

Who told how Freud explained it
all.

Phyllis Galphin also came

And talked about Marg Lumpkin's

fame.

They collaborated on a psych
book

Do you suppose they ever learned
to cook?

Kittie Currie has joined the Met.
Lorna Wiggins will get there yet,
If only the "Amen" she'll sing
With Sally Veale accompanying.

Clairelis Eaton came whizzing

through
She's invented a car for ''Under

5' 2"."

Helping her to make it start
Was our inimitable Mattie Hart,

Alice Snead and family up the
path trod

As did Mary Jane Jordan and
Dot Todd.

Edna Furbish takes care of the
"dough"

For Frances Vandiver's shop in
Mexico.

Others who answered math's call
Are Kathryn Gentry and Jo Ann
Hall.

They all came up here one day
I thought they soon would make

me gray.
Joyce Huggins took the cake,
Margaret Ann Kaufman chose the

steak.

Jeane Junker carried off the pie,
Jo Jordan gave the bread the eye.
Their dividing plans took so long,
They lost their food to the ant
throng.

The chemists I could overlook
At least they had learned to cook.
Sylvia Moutos and Louise Jett
Are running up the National Debt.

They're working on an atomic
bomb

Which Betty Phillips is running
from,

Cause Camille Watson set the

fuse.

Martha Kim told me the news.

Jane Hart has written a play
Soon to be seen on Broadway.
Lillian Ritchie and Barbara Grace

Painted scenery for the place.

Betty Jo Linton won the lead,
And Kassie Simmons will help her
read.

Nimmo Howard also stars,
And Sylvia Williams sings a few
bars.

She's First Lady now, you know,
And has her own TV show.
Susan Hancock is Secretary of
State.

Mif Martin still has "Ike" on her
slate.

52 Graduates Plans Range
From Trips to Wedding Bells

By CAROL JONES

At the close of the graduation exercises this year, Agnes Scott
seniors will face a summer full of numerous and varied activities.
Many will enter careers in different fields business, church work,
teaching, community -service. Several girls will spend the summer
touring Europe. And a large number of the igirls who walk out of
Presser Hall in cap and gown to 'Ancient of Days" will soon be
walking down another aisle to the "Wedding March."

The first senior to be married after graduation will be Landis
Cotten, whose marriage to Yale Gunn, student at Union Seminary,
will take place June 2 at 5 o'clock in the afternoon at Morning-
side Presbyterian Church. Mary Pritchett and Judy Promnitz will
keep the Bride's Book. Landis and Yale plan to spend the summer
in Teloloapan, Mexico, at the Presbyterian Mission Station.

Three Agnes Scott graduates (as of June 2) have set their wed^-
ding dates for Saturday, the seventh of June. Clairelis Eaton will
be married to Lieutenant Rudy Franklin in Sacred Heart Church,
Atlanta, at 10 o'clock Saturday morning. Maid of Honor will be
Mary Teresa McDonald, and alumna Mrs. Louise Harant Bennett
will also be an attendant. The Franklins will go to California after
the wedding to await Rudy's shipment overseas.

Nancy Hobbs has also set, her wedding for June 7. She will marry
Joseph Gregory Hays, Jr., at the First Presbyterian Church, Atlanta,
at eight in the evening. Carol Solomon, Marie Stowers, and Eloise
Eubanks will be in the wedding. The couple will live in Charlotte,
N. C.

The third wedding set for that day is that of Betty Moon to Emory
medical student Ellis McClelland, at seven-thirty at the Decatur
Christian Church. Edith Petrie, Jean Hansen, and former A. S. C.
student Mrs. Bill Hodges (Dot Rollins) are expected to be in the
wedding. Ellis will be working in Grady Hospital in Atlanta this
summer.

Other June brides will be Helen Huie, who will be married June
12, Margaret Andes and Kassie Simmons, both of whose weddings
will be June 14, and Jeanne Junker, who is to be married June 21.

July 26 is the date Sylvia Williams has chosen for her wedding. It
is to be in Norcross, and Ann Goolsby will be her Maid of Honor.
Emy Evans and Mary Jane Jordan will also be in the wedding.

Charlotte Allsmiller will be married July 31 and Nancy DeArmond
the ninth of August. Early September will bring wedding bells for
Emy Evans, Kathryn Gentry, June Carpenter, and Muriel Gear. Betty
Moyer, Jackie Simmons, Carolyn Holtrey, Martha Fortson, and
Shirley Ford will also be married soon after graduating.

Several seniors plan to spend all or part of the summer in Europe.
Tibby King, Helen Land, Ann Parker, Adelaide Ryall, Ann Boyer,
Phyllis Galphin, Ann Herman, Margaretta Lumpkin, Jmnie Brewer,
and Sylvia Moutos are slated to embark on tours in June.

For the rest of the Class of '52 a variety of jobs are waiting
but we are confident of one thing: whatever they do their employ-
ers will all agree that they are very lucky to have Agnes Scott
alumnae working for them, especially from the Class of '52! Good
luck to you, girls, and we know that this year, as always, Agnes
Scott's loss is the world's gain.

And if I've missed anyone I don't

So I'll close my silly rhymes,

And memories of college times

Who join Winnie Strozier and me,
Ann Bo(yer):

Never again will we ever hear
Of rhymes and prose without a

They'll leave the mountains soon,

For cars and shows and city

But they'll be back, along with

you,

To meet again with '52!

Rusk Addresses
1952 Graduates

Addressing the graduating class
at the commencement exercises
this morning. President Dean
Rusk of the Rockefeller Founda-
tion, N. Y., emphasized that "the
first great piece of unfinished
business before y6u is the relent-
less and imaginative pursuit of
knowledge."

He continued, "Man was ap-
parently endowed by his Creator
with an insatiable curiosity to
know and a yearning to under-
stand himself and the world about
him. But as we advance in
knowledge the frontiers recede
before us. The rate of the expan-
sion of our knowledge is more
than matched by the rate of ex-
pansion of our ignorance."

The former assistant Secretary
of State reminded his audience
that Americans must remember
they are only a part of a great
stream of human aspirations and
thought upon which they are to-
tally dependent for existence.

"If we were suddenly restricted
to our own resources, intellectual
as well as material, by barriers
erected either by ourselves or
others, we should rapidly feel the
impoverishment in every aspect
of our lives."

Pres. Rusk described the sec-
ond great unfinished business
which presents itself to the hu-
man race as the organization of
peace. He said, "The demands

Historian Recalls Landmarks While
Looking Oxer Past Four Years

By Catherine Crowe

Three of the meanings which
Webster has given for "history"
seem quite appropriate this af-
ternoon. A history is 1. A tale;
story. 2. An explanation of past
events. 3. Something that belongs
to the past. The story of our
class has been a successful one.
We have served in many ways-
little ways and big ways. We
have succeeded in many ways
little ways and big ways. We as a
class have met with failures as
biig as our successes. By failures
we mean that we have not always
won. But that is not real failure,
because we have always aimed;
we have tried hard to measure
high.

A history is a story, a tale, and
we are the characters. The first
division of our story began with
Black Cat. To tune ranging from
operatic selections to the Mis-
souri Waltz we serenaded that
aged animal which has attracted
the reverence of "the band of
daughters" for decades. The ear-
ly weeks of our experience here
brought the new excitement of en-
gagement, rings and fra/ternity
pins. The campaign built up more
school spirit and made us closer
as a class.

Add to all the new fascinations
around us came Bible papers and
biology labs to use up our excess
energies. The treasurer regretted
the rise in tuition, and so did our
fathers. None of us will ever for-
tget the first time we sang our
Agnes Scott hymn, "God of the
Marching Centuries," and our Al-
ma Mater. We were left in awe
after we saw our first academic
procession.

There are other landmarks . . .
Winnie's pitching which has won
us the softball trophy for four
consecutive years ... . Our first
exam week . . . Honorable men-
tion for the Class Spirit Cup . . .
The new excitement of election
week . . . The many parties in
our honor.

We carried home that old Black
Cat to Rebekah victoriously our
second year here. What weeks
of work, but, oh, what a fabulous
evening! We enjoyed our party,
the' Harvest Hullaballoo, in the
gym in the fall. Through the
maze of projects, conga lines for
hockey crowds, parties, philoso-
phy discussions, station-to-station
calls for Marey from John R., we
came through the year victorious
by capturing from the other three
classes the coveted Class Spirit
Cup.

Our Junior year began with vic-
tory and ended with victory. We
renovated Black Cat and enlarged
its name to Black Cat Community
Day. After the picnic and games
on the hockey field, we marched
into^the gym to march out with
honors in the song contest. "We'd
all come a trot tin* from the land
of the cotton to our A. S. C." and
Agnes Scott was responding beau-
tifully! Our hands (so handsomely
decorated with the newly acquired
Agnes Scott rings) worked furi-
ously on our own Junior Joint.

We created our own Lullaby of
Broadway, backed by one of the
most beautiful backdrops we
thought we'd ever seen. Of course,
we were rather prejudiced, but
we honestly did "give our regards
to Broadway" in a fabulous way.
We swelled with pride as we were
told that we were the first Junior
Class in years to present Junior

Joint and raise the most money
for W. S. S. F. besides.

Many memories fill our minds
when we think of our Junior Year
. . . The fun of cottage life, the
Grand March of Junior Banquet,
the Green Death, the falling tow-
er of Main, Dr. McCain's Birthday
party, our first walk into the new
dining hall. Elections this year
meant that our class was taking
over. We left school in '51 . . .
grateful, yes, and successful . . .
having won the spirit cup for
the second consecutive year . . .

"Our voices blended" in with
the Black Cat Minstrel show our
senior year. We thought we had
written a (good school song, and the
judges assured us of the fact. A
few weeks later our class march-
ed into the auditorium for the In-
auguration of our new president.
We enjoyed acting as hostesses to
the hundreds of celebrities that
visited our campus during those
days. ^

It has been our privilege to at-
tend Agnes Scott under the ad-
ministration of two wonderful
presidents. A few weeks later
Miss Scandrett's smile of assur-
ance calmed our shaking knees as
we knelt to be capped at Investi-
ture and received recognition of
our seniorhood during a tradition-
al and cherished ceremony. Then
came Junior Joint, a paper drive,
another party at Emy's farm, a
Christmas party for the children
at Henry Grady Hospital, the sac-
rifice of the Blood Donors, and
many other activities. Approach-
ing graduation made every minute
more cherished.

With graduation upon us, we
are giving a few of the remaining
moments to remember the land-
marks. We have named the tan-
gible things . . . the projects, the
successes, the activities. We felt
it necessary to record our history
to keep us from forgetting the
tangible landmarks. These are
not the things we will remember
most often. The things we will
remember throughout the years
are less easily expressed. Let us
enumerate some of them anyway,
if we can.

First and foremost, lov6 has
characterized our years here. Love
for Agnes Scott in the form of her
ideals, our wonderful friends
whom we will march with tomor-
row and the next day, the Tech
boy, our favorite faculty mem-
bers, our Dr. Rob, the adminis-
tration in the form of Dr. Alston,
Miss Scandrett, Mr. Stukes, Mr.
Jones, Mr. Tart, Mr. Rogers, and
many others. We will never for-
get our head-waiter, John. There
is the love for our sympathetic
and strong night-watchman, for
the faculty men who have been so
sacrificial and chivalric in their
protection of us during the past
two weeks.

Nor will we forget the pleasure
of new privileges or the utter
loneliness of an empty mailbox.
There is the never-to-be-forgotten
thrill over our first reading of
Shakespeare's "Othello," and the
first time we went to the opera,
and bur evenings spent in Gaines
with our delightful Mr. Frost. And
Dooley has risen four times now,
once almost as far as second Re-
bekah, and we thank him, as we
do the many to whom we are
grateful, for such pleasant mem-
ories.

Such past events can be explain-
ed by several facts. First, it has

been our good fortune to come to
Agnes Scott College a college
which has offered us opportunities
for fun and growth. We recognize
our indebtedness to her, and so
commencement has come to repre-
sent our four year privilege rather
than any meteoric accomplish-
ment. We are grateful rather
than proud.

Secondly, we can explain past
events by our willingness to make
use of our opportunities. This is
not praising ourselves, for it is
our responsibility to make the
best use of that w r hich is offered
us.

Webster claims that history is
something that belongs to the
past. And truly, all material rep-
resentations of our class will be
relics of the past a scrapbook,
a class spirit report, even our
name '52. But let us choose to
defy time and symbols and defin-
itions. Until now, '52 has always
been of the future. We have
brought it to realization in this,
our senior year. Let us not leave
it behind, but rather make '52 al-
ways a thing of the present and
future.

As our years pass, may the
ideals of Agnes Scott and '52
grow nearer to us and to realiz-
ation in us. And this spirit, plus
our love for each other, will be a
bond between the 103 of us al-
ways, that will defy death or dis-
tance.

May we read and become more
and more well informed. May we
love and become more and more
selfless. May we pray and realize
in our lives greater humility and
sincerity.

Then, when the class of 72
sings Black Cat songs, and we
hear back home that our daugh-
ters are singing together of the
same traditions and ideals we have
loved, we will know, as we know
now, that '52 will always be a
current class, and that her spirit,
twice recorded on a silver cup
and once on a silver bell tied to
a Black Cat's collar, has not crys-
tallized with the recording, but
has grown in us and has been
passed on to other lives.

So through our lives the aims of
our Alma Mater will be realized,
and we will thus be able to repay
to her some small part of all that
she has meant to us.

Crea's Collection
Wins Book Award

This morning at the commence-
ment exercises, Caroline Crea of
College Park was announced as
the winner of the 1952 Louise
McKinney Book Award. Mary Lee
Hunnicutt was given honorable
mention.

The judges this year were Mrs.
Frederick Shelton, the librarian
in the Atlanta Public Library and
an alumnae, Dr. Emma May Lan-
ey, associate professor of English,
and Mr. C. Benton Kline, assistant
professor of philsophy. The judges
were impressed by the interest of
the collections, and the intelligent
talks that the students gave about

their, books. Miss Janet Preston,
assistant professor of English, is
chairman of the contest.

Each year the Louise McKinney
Book Award of $25 is given to
the Agnes Scott student who, in
the opinion of the judges, acquires
during the current year from May
to May the most interesting and
discriminating personal library
and who reveals real understand-
ing of her books.

The Louise McKinney Book
Award was established a number
of years ago as a memorial to
Miss Louise McKinney, professor
emeritus of English, who, during
her years of teaching, awakened
in many Agnes Scott students a
love of reading and a delight in
the ownership of books.

Final Tally: 8-7

Dame Fortune Casts Smile
On Scrappy Faculty Team

By Carolyn Wells

The sun smiled brightly upon the little group of softball
enthusiasts which gathered to witness the third annual Fac-
ulty-Varsity softball game Friday, May 10. Dame Fortune
beamed upon the scrappy team
from Faculty Row, pushing them
into the win column, 8-7.

Ann Herman, Mattie Hart,
Mary Beth Robinson, and Pat
Patterson trotted home ahead of
heavy hitting to plunge the facul-
ty team into a 4-0 deficit as they
came to bat in the bottom of the
first. Mr. Rogers, business man-
ager, practically "knocked a li-
brary window out" to bring Dr.
William J. Frierson home, but was
thrown out trying to make it
home himself. Big bats boomed
again for the varsity in their half
of the second; three more runs fell
into the ' leading team's margin
and it looked like the faculty was
beaten.

Mrs. Story, Dr. Hayes, and Dr.
Strozier decided that this, ; foolish-
ness had been going on quite long
enough. The "feeble faculty" be-
coming to life in the third and
pounding the varsity pitching for
four runs in the third and three
in the fourth.

Highlights of the game. A long,
long, long ball poked to the op-
posite hockey cage by Pat Story
for the only home-run of the
game . . . All those balls off fac-
ulty bats making like jumping-
beans out. of Baxter's glove in
right field . . . Betty Jacks gob-
bling up balls bigger than she like
a veteran . . . Mama Shepherd's
battle wounds . . . Mr. Rogers
running the bases . . . Mr. Stro-
zier hitting few singles offa "dot-
ter" (sweet revenge) . . . The big-
gest crowd of the season!

Lineups Faculty: Spear, Sto-
ry, Frierson, Rogers, Hayes,
Kline, Strozier, Shepherd, Kenne-
dy. Varsity: Herman, Hart, Hop-
kins, Robinson, Jacks, Patterson,
Wells, Baxter, Strozier and (ab-
sent) Anne Thomson.
