Studies Replace Social Whirl
As Freshmen Buckle Down

By Calico

The largest freshman class in the history of Agnes Scott
has settled down, to some degree, to academic routine. The
freshman class, 169 strong, are scattered on campus in
Inman, Main, and four cottages Mary. Sweet, Gaines,
Ansley, and Boyd.

Ever since the freshmen ar-
rived, they have been occupied
with such necessities as registra-
tion and placement tests and also
with more pleasant events such
as the CA picnic, an informal
dance at Emory, and various rush
parties.

The first party for the freshmen
was a welcome party in Inman
hall. This was followed by many
more parties given by their ju-
nior sponsors and by their soph-
omore helpers, a party given by
the entire sophomore class, the
senior tea given last Sunday, and
the Alumnae association tea.

About 60 freshmen attended the
open house at Georgia Tech last
Friday. At the Emory square
dance May Muse, a freshman,
won a cashmere sweater, which
was a door prize.

The freshmen toured Atlanta
with AAi members as guides on
their first Sunday afternoon in
Atlanta. Social committee also

Martin To Present
Second Program
In Music Series

Raymond Martin, associate pro-
fessor of music will present an or-
gan recital in Presser hall on
Monday, Oct. 6, at 8 p. m. Includ-
ed on the program are Franz Tun-
der's "Praeludium," and "Tocca-
ta," "Adagio," and "Fugue in C"
by J. S. Bach. /

Mr. Martin will also play Cesar
Franck's "Pastorale," and Seth
Bingham's Toccata on "Leoni,"
which is a Jewish hymn tune sung
in both Christian and Jewish ser-
vices as "The God of Abraham
Praise."

Also on the program are Percy
Whitlock's "Folk Tune," which is
probably of Irish origin, and Jean
Langlais' "Fete."

This concert is the second in
the series of music programs
sponsored by the Agnes Scott Col-
lege Department of Music. Mi-
chael McDowell opened the fall
services with a piano recital Sept.

' The four new foreign students
at Agnes Scott have in common
not only similar coloring blonde
hair and blue eyes but also sim-
ilar main impressions. 'Each has
been most impressed by the
friendliness and helpfulness of the
people here. Another similarity
of these four girls is their lin-
guistic ability and their stringent
educational preparation. They
speak English with facility, since
they have studied it in their
schools for six or seven years.

Our campus is privileged in
having as a student the winner of
a Fulbright scholarship, ( Elin
Krohn Ericksen of Bergen, Nor-
way. Elin, who has been in Amer-
ica only a little over a month,
thinks Washington, D. C, is par-
ticularly beautiful. She has spent
one year at the University of Ber-
gen where she studied history and
economics, which she will continue
to study here. She is considering
the diplomatic service as her car-
eer after graduation.

If you hear two girls chattering
to each other in Swedish, you may-
be fairly certain that they are
Ulla Beckman and Mrs. Anne Ma-
rie Collin. Ulla, like Elin, is in-
terested in history and political
science. She has studied for one
year at the University of Stock-
holm where she concentrated on
economics. Ulla is considering
the civil service as a future ca-
reer.

Ulla, who has been in the Unit-
ed States a very short time, was

fessor of history and political sci-
ence, read the names of the eight
seniors who will read for honors
in their major fields this year.
President Wallace M. Alston then
concluded the program by an-
nouncing the honor roll for the
1951-52 session. Dean S. G. Stukes
gave the invocation

Dr. Steere, who was presented
by the local chapter of Phi Beta
Kappa, is a noted author, schol-
ar, lecturer and teacher. Declar-
ing that the power of concentra-
tion is "the most rewarding ber;-
efit to be derived from education,
he stressed the necessity of being
teachable. "Reality is constantly
communicating itself to us," he
said, "and we must be open to re-
ceive it."

The speaker noted that past
knowledge and previous interests
aid in increasing attentive powers.
He warned against the "hardening
of the categories" which prevent
objective attentiveness.

Dr. Steere advocated the phil-
osophy of contemplation through
which the liberal arts education
must encourage students "to look
into the heart of the universe and
govern their lives by it."

The chairman of the Honors
committee, Dr. Sims, then an-
nounced the names of the seniors
who will participate in the honors
program: Ellen Hunter, biology;
Barbara Johnston, mathematics;
Rosalyn Kenneday, English;
Sarah Leathers, music; Margaret
MSdRae, Bible; Belle Miller, Eng-
lish; Priscilla Sheppard, history
and political science; and Margar-
et Thomason, English.

cluded on the honor roll for the

McRae Announces
New C. A . Theme

In the first Christian associa
tion chapel of the year Margaret
McRae, president, last Tuesday
presented the theme passage
which the organization has select-
ed for this year in order "to fill a
need, to emphasize a part of its
program, and to help each student
grow in her spiritual life."

Pointing to the simple religious
faith which comprises the fourth
Agnes Scott ideal, Margaret em-
phasized the necessity for each
student to choose as a theme
verse that portion of the theme
scripture which "will help you
grow toward the Agnes Scott
ideal."

C. A. Cabinet chose the fourth
chapter of II Corinthians and the
first verse of the sixth chapter as
the theme passage. It was em-
phasized that "although we may
be at different levels of growth
and thus each have a different
theme suited to our own particu-
lar need, yet basically we all seek
the same goal, to realize the love
and grace of God in our lives and
to show our love for Him by serv-
ing others."

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday. Oct. 1. 1952

Focus on Honor

Last Wednesday we observed Honors day on the campus.
This week we observe Honor week. The former was a time
of announcing honors awarded to those who had won them.
The latter is a time of considering the meaning of honor in
the Agnes Scott Honor system.

The two occasions point to an interesting and intriguing
duality in the meaning of honor. Originally and basically
an honor is something bestowed. But honors are given to
those who deserve them, to those who are worthy. That
worthiness has itself come to be called honor.

The worthiness which is called honor is a very special
sort of worthiness. It is more than excellence or worthiness
in some particular activity or field. It is not to be equated
with athletic or literary or scholarly excellence, for none of
these is a quality of life which is universally valued.

The one quality which is universally valued is integrity.
Plato called it the health or harmony of the soul. As he saw,
integrity can be achieved only when one's life is integrated
around some center. We are naturally drawn this way and
that by a variety of desires and drives. To yield to all of
them is to be, quite literally, disintegrated. Only when our
desires and drives can be harnessed and directed is integrity,
the heart of honor, reached.

Honor in this sense is a* hard- won thing. It is developed
by the persistent attempt to direct one's life toward an ade-
quate center and to resist the disintegrating force of im-
mediate desires. This is to say that one achieves honor by
exercising it. One need not make this effort alone. Each
can help the other to see the center clearly and to seek to
direct life around that chosen center.

Here at Agnes Scott you are asked to seek the integration
that leads to integrity or honor in the ideals of the college.
You .pledge to direct your desires by that center which has
been the focus of the life of this campus for a long time.

This is not an arbitrary request, however. The ideals of
this college are not offered simply because they are the col-
lege's and you are here. These ideals and standards are
themselves derived from something beyond the Agnes Scott
campus. They are integrated in the One who stands at the
heart of all existence and who is the ultimate center of all
that is. Only in this Ultimate can true integration, true in-
tegrity, true honor be centered. C. Benton Kline, Jr.

'Invigilation' Here?

One of the most interesting discussions I had this summer
in England extended over a period of three evenings. The par-
ticipants were a math teacher, a French teacher, a school
chaplain, a music teacher all Cambridge men a house-
wife, and I. The subject, strangely enough, was the Agnes
Scott honor system.

The subject arose when I innocently asked the meaning
of "invigilation, 9 * an activity which seemed to occupy a major
portion of the teachers' time. When they explained that
each instructor must spent a goodly proportion of his time
overseeing examinations to see that no cheating occurs, I
was incredulous. I was even more amazed when they ex-
plained that not only at their "colleges," which are equivilant
to our private preparatory schools, but also at Oxford and
Cambridge no work is written without the ever-present proc-
tor to "invigilate."

They, however, were even more incredulous when I at-
tempted an explanation of our honor system, in which un-
supervised tests have an important part. Their initial at-
titude was one of frank ridicule that the college authorities
could be so blind as to tempt humanity beyond reason and
actually believe the students to be superhuman.

They prodded me time after time for analyses of how our
system worked in all phases of our college life, and they were
intrigued with the whole idea. A successful honor system in
college was a totally new concept to them. I never knew
whether they ever fully understood, but they were fully
convinced that it would never succeed in their schools.

We at Agnes Scott realize that our honor system is a won-
derful heritage. Yet it is only as good as we want it to be.
We are trusted here. We must not take that trust lightly.

When Mr. Collin learned that
he had been awarded a scholar-
ship at Emory, Anne decided to

'Mine Honor Is My Life'

From the day we enter Agnes Scott as freshmen, it is
assumed that we are students with the potential to do good,
mature students of honesty and integrity, students who want
to cooperate with each other, the faculty, and the adminis
tration.

Because this kind of faith and trust is placed in us from
the start, we are privileged to have an honor system at Agnes
Scott to govern our academic and social lives. "Mom-ism"
cannot be practiced on our campus where all work stresses
the development of mature individuals. We need our honor
system! For us it is a realistic and effective means of char-
acter building because it is based on the concept "self-devel-
opment through self-control."

It enables us to practice some of our highest and best re-
sponsibilities as citizens being honest and fair in all rela-
tions with our associates and helping those who disregard
these concepts of honesty and fairness. It encourages and
promotes a sincere feeling of mutual responsibility, respect,
and trust among all the members of our campus community.

We have chosen Agnes Scott as our Alma Mater. As we
take the honor pledge, we choose to support the honor sys-
tem as a valid and vital part of living together in our campus
commuhitv. We make these choices because each one of
us believes:

"Mine honor is my life; both grow in one; take honor from
me and my life is done." (Shakespeare, "Richard II")

Carol Lou Jacob

To The Freshmen

At this point another welcome addressed to the Freshmen
would be superfluous, especially when it is accompanied by
no free Cokes, cookies or handshakes.

Nevertheless, we are loathe to break a long standing tra-
dition and ignore the fact that there are 169 fresh faces in
our midst as though anybody could overlook the white
saddle oxfords or the untattered notebooks.

So we as a staff do take this opportunity to greet you
through these channels. We hope you will read the
News from cover to cover (which isn't very far) and that
you will find it much more than a nuisance which deceives
you into thinking you have a letter from home in your mail-
box each Wednesday afternoon.

Please voice your opinions through letters to the editors.
Always let us know when you have news the campus should
know.

So we too put down the welcome mat in the upper room
of Murphey Candler, light all three 60-watt lights, and say
we're glad you're here and we hope you'll like it. P. S.

kindergarten teacher. Anne Ma-
rie thinks that Agnes Scott is
more difficult than the other
schools she has attended because
it "requires more independent
thinking."

One of the best travelled mem-
bers of our community is Marijke
Schepman. Marijke was born in
Holland, but now she lives in Ven-
ezuela. Formerly, she has resided

in Curacoa, Trinidad, Houston,
Texas, and New York City. More-
over, she spent several years in
Jamaica at an English boarding
school.

Marijke tells many exciting
tales of life in Venezuela In-
dian raids, tropical jungles, and
exotic wild life. At Agnes Scott,
Marijke is studying science, be-
cause she wishes to be a doctor.

Spinning the Patter

Social Scene Starts Spinning;
ShindigsSpice Scholars Study

By C AROL JONES

The opening of the school year at Agnes Scott, Emory, and Georgia
Tech set off a bang which resounded all over Atlanta and vicinity last
weekend. And if any of our readers are skeptical about Agnes
Scott's participation in the social events, they should have been in
Main at late time limit Friday or Saturday night as everyone rusfhed
in to. be present and accounted for at the final roll call. (Or on
campus Saturday afternoon during the Tech-Florida game. The at-
mosphere was amazingly un-campuslike!)

The football game took an undisputed first place as the outstand-
ing event of the week, but there were parties, galore to give spice
to the lives of study-worn Agnes Scott scholars. Over at Emory
Friday night, the Sigma Chi's had a Wild West party. Gail Rogers,
Ginnie Lee Floyd, C arol Tye, Jane Dahlhouse, Marilyn Vance, Jamie
McCoy, Trudy Avvbrey, and Bunny Hall were all seen whooping it
up there, w*hile a little farther on down Fraternity Row a three-ring
affair reminiscent of "The Greatest Show on Earth" was in full
swing at the ATO house. Guerry Graham, Ducky Greene, Addie
Steans, Liz Craig, Lib Flynn, Ruth Posey, Martha Lou Bridges, El-
eanor Hutchinson, Ann Sylvester, and Judy Promnitz were perform-
ers or spectators at a circus party which had everything from pop-
corn men to trapeze artists. Joanna Solomon, Mary Ann Warnell,
and Zo Anderson took the broad, easy path to become Famous Sin-
ners for the night at the Phi Delta Theta house, and Frances Earnest,
Lois Dryden,. Genevieve Guardia, and Jan Varner represented Agnes
Scott at thai Beta Theta Pi party.

Moving over to the Tech campus, the fireworks were rocketing
skyward Saturday night in all sorts of celebrations. Jerry Cunning-
ham, Shirley Simpson, Jackie Josey, Mary Newell Rainey, and Nancy
Whetstone were at the SAE house, and Kitten Cumbee, May Muse,
Connie Ballas, Margaret Williamson, and Margie Fordham were
among the group which went to the Chi Phi party. The Delta Tau
Deltas had a hayride which Donya Di\on, Ginny Luchese, Irene Sasso,
Virginia Clift, Eleanor Swain, Jean Gregory, Mary Nell Mobley, Ethel
Pendleton, Ann Bowen, Sylvia Sorenson and several others enjoyed.

If it were necessary to condense into a word the total impression
of the weekend we would say, "Wow." It certainly started th social
scene spinning for Miss Agnes Scott.

entertained them with a fashion

One of the traditional highlights
of the first week of school was
the formal reception, at which
the new students were able to
meet the student body and the
rest of the faculty.

Two new social events were in-
stituted this year. CA invited
the entire student body to attend
Its "Meet the Ministers" tea. Its
purpose was to introduce the stu-
dents to the ministers of the dif-
ferent denominations in the area.

Another original event was Hey

committee. Its purpose was to
promote friendliness on campus
and to get the student body bet-
ter acquainted. Connie Curry won
the distinction of being the first
Miss Hey Day, and Anne Thom-
son was runner-up.

Campus Kittens Unite
For 'Hep Cat Hollow'

By Carolyn Wells

A little less than two weeks away, on October 11 at 4:15
p. m., the annual community day, affectionately dubbed
"Black Cat Day," lies waiting for the girls of Agnes Scott
and their friends. Originally a battle of wits between the
freshmen and sophomores for the possession of the coveted
black kitty at present residing in
Inman lobby, in more recent years
the day has come to be a day of
fun for everyone as the com-
munity spirit reigns over the pro-
ceedings. Now it is customary
for the freshmen to walk off with
kitty and keep her safely in In-
man lobby all year.

Carol Lou Jacob, president of
Mortar Board, promises an extra
good program for this year's fes-
tivities. Assembling at 4:15, the
classes, dressed in their class col-
ors and singing their songs, will
parade to the hockey field w r here
the activities will begin at 4:30.

Special dead-shot archers from
the campus will start things off
with a bang, aiming their arrows
at balloons situated about the
field. Bicycle races, 75-yard
dashes, and relays come next on
the program of varied events. Tal-
ented members of the ASC facul-
ty will compete with the stu-
dents in the&e latter matches.

Ending the afternoon's program
will be a tennis match between
the sister classes. Then the en-
tire Agnes Scott family will re-
turn to the hockey field for a buf-
fet supper and a big surprise.

After a song contest in which
the classes try to outdo each other
with pep songs, the stage cur-
tains of the gymnasium will un-
fold upon the opening (and clos-
ing) performance of "Hep Cat
Hollow," billed as one big, all-in-
clusive skit.

The skit itself, according to
Carol Lou, is strictly cloak-and-
dagger stuff, a huge dark secret.
The idea behind it is that one
must be a hep cat (mighty extra-
special) to become a member of
the ASC community. Faculty
and students will combine their
talents to bring this one night
stand of "Hep Cat Hollow" to our
community.

The entire purpose of Black Cat
Community day at Agnes Scott is
to unite the entire campus into
one hard-working unit. If the ac-
tual celebrations are half as good
as the plans for them are, the pur-
pose behind Black Cat most cer-
tainly will be a huge success

Displays Seashells

An unusual collection of shells
is now on display in the Campbell
Science Hall, Dr. Josephine
Bridgman, Professor of Biology,
has announced. The shells were
mounted by Dr. Mary Stuart Mac-
Dougall, Professor Emeritus of
Biology.

The case in which the shells are
being displayed was bought this

gall for the purpose improving the
museum in the science hall. The
museum is name din honor of Dr.
MacDougall.

Graduates Donate
Radio, Records

the college for the purchase of a
new radio-phonograph combina-
tion for the use of the students,
President Alston announced last
week. This machine is a Zenith,
which plays four speeds of rec-
ords. It was purchased by P. G.
Rogers, business manager, with
the advice of Michael McDowell,
professor of music.

The surplus of over $200 will be
used to purchase records to add
to the already large collection
owned by the school.

The phonograph and records
will be placed in the music room
in Main building.

School Spirit Rises
As Festivities Near
For Black Cat Day

Campus spirit is destined to hit
an all-time high when the Agnes
Scott community gets together
for Black Cat day festivities, Sat-
urday, Oct. 11, at 4:15 p. m.

In preparation for the moment
when each class will march onto
the athletic field singing its fa-
vorite pep song, the class of 1956
has selected Harriette Griffin and
Judy McDaniel as its cheerlead-
ers. Those in charge of skit pro-
duction are Barbara Battle for the
freshmen, Nancy Clark for the
sophomores, Vallie Burnet for the
juniors, and Sue Peterson for the
seniors.

The afternoon's activities will
include a Robin Hood archery
contest, a bicycle race between
students and faculty members,
foot races, and a tennis match be-
tween the sister classes.

Following a picnic supper the
crowd will move to the gymna-
sium for the annual song contest
between the classes. "Hep Cat
Hollow," consisting of skits pre-
sented by the classes and by fac-
ulty groups, will reveal to the
community the abilities of the
newcomers to the campus, as well
as those of the old troupers.

Sophomose class president Con-
nie Curry will award the black
cat to the freshmen to convey
the spirit of friendliness and wel-
come that are the essential aims
of Black Cat day. Festivities will
be ended by 8 p. m., in time for
that Saturday night date.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS # Wednesday, Oct. 8, 1952

F. S. Ag

am

Taking cognizance of the fact that last year's barrage of
petitions, speeches and editorials pleading for a faculty skit
proved futile, we are starting our campaign early this year.

Last year the excuse offered and accepted was that no sat-
isfactory date could be found in the already overloaded col-
lege calendar. This year the crusade is opened now in or-
der that a suitable date can be set aside now and reserved
for the overdue, long anticipated faculty skit.

Agnes Scott has many traditions. Black Cat, Junior Joint
and Senior Opera all require students' skits. It seems to us
that the faculty are missing a golden opportunity to wreak
revenge on the students for their array of skits throughout
the year if they let the tradition of the faculty skit die.

It does not appear to us to be too much to ask of the fac-
ulty that they present one skit every four years. We do not
want to force any unwilling members to participate. Surely
there must be enough willing and talented members of the
faculty to present a skit without involving those whose other
activities make it impossible for them to take part.

The class of 1952 was graduated without ever having wit-
nessed the faculty skit. We do not want to be the second class

to have that distinction.

i

Now while there is time to set a definite date, we urge all
who are interested to join the crusade for a faculty skit this
year. P. S.

The Real Thing

There is a stock phrase that is supposed to be the magic
answer to all school problems, the often misunderstood term
"school spirit. ,, It is thought to be the catalyst which will
weld all the different individuals and viewpoints into a
united whole. The wonderful thing is that "school spirit"
in its true sense can really do this.

But school spirit is too often confused in the mind of the
student with something which is only a part of the whole.
The term is used again and a'gain by visiting speakers, the
faculty, class officers, or cheerleaders trying to stir up a
quick emotional response or just a big burst of noise. Sadly
enough it is the "rah rah" aspect we usually associate with
school spirit and often becomes the standard by which we
judge a school.

Of course this is all an integral part but there is another
side. School spirit in its fullest meaning is a combination
of love, pride, and respect. We should, because we love our
school and are proud of it, respect the rules and regulations
which are needed to bring about harmony in such a com-
pact community.

We should strive for that feeling of oneness that we have
known in our separate family groups. It is only through
complete integration of all parts that school spirit can be-
come a reality. J. S.

Frat-Mad London
Gives Rush Advice

By JANE LANDON

What with the advent and ex-
vent (is there such a word?) of
this season's rush parties, one is
inclined to wonder just how sane
the 100 per cent American youth
of today really is, how he is going
to spring from his world of fan-
tasy, typified by said parties, in-
to the cold cruel world of
the postgraduate. I imagine that
the average uhinitiate walking in
upon a beach party at the Sig
basement, a South Sea Island par-
ty in the very heart of Atlanta, or
a shipwreck party at the ATO
house would think that these red-
blooded boys had lost their minds.
Yet, these parties must have had
an early beginning, must really be
age-old, for our old friend Will
Shakespeare had a few choice
comments concerning the mad so-
cial whirl of the Elizabethans.
(Also Max Shulman says that
records of his favorite fraternity,
Alpha Cholera, have proved that
this upstanding organization had
a chapter in early Egypt.)

But, to get back to Shakespeare.
First they planned the party, care-
fully and methodically.
"Doth the moon shine that night?
A calendar, a calendar, look in
the almanac; find out moon-
shine, find Q\i%<. moonshine."

<*MfabN. Dr. ill, i)
Then the brothStfs'idecided which
costumes thfe^ i W<&uldwear,
"I will (wear]p.l9ither)'^cnar straw-
colour beard, ^u^o'^aftge-tawny
beard, you r n .'0urt)le -m-grain
beard, or your French-crown-
color beard."

(Mid. N. Dr. I, ii)
Then the ASC girl who is pin-
ned to a brother finds out about
the Friday night smoker, and
asks:

"Canst thou bring me to the par-
ty?" (Temp. Ill, ii)
The SAEs plan their skit but /a
sudden thought upsets them:
"Will not the ladies be afeared of
the lion?" (Mid. N. Dr. Ill, i)
The rush chairman has one last
word to say to the chapter before
the rushees descend,
"Great welcome makes a merry
feast." (Com. Err. Ill, i'
At last the freshman cometh,
and the party begins.- But sudden-
ly he looks around and gasps:
"Am I in earth, in heaven, or in
hell? ^
Sleeping or waking? mad or
well-advised?"

(Com. Err. H, ii)
The whole big party really gets
underway,

"And then the whole quire hold
up their hips and laugh,

And waxen in their mirth and
sneeze and swear,

A merrier hour was never wasted

To Eat or Not to Eat

Many complaints have been heard this year about the slow
cafeteria line at breakfast. Students who have 8:30 classes
are unable to get through the line even if they come at 8
o'clock. It now requires about 40 minutes to get through
the line and finish breakfast.

Such a length of time required for breakfast has hitherto
been unnecessary, and it is not necessary now. The enroll-
ment this year is not so much larger than that of last year
that the cafeteria lines should move so much more slowly.
Too many students gather in the dining hall right at 8 o'clock,
and we can expect to have a long wait before 'getting through
the line as long as so many people accumulate at this time.
The dietitian has requested that we try to schedule our time
in order to avoid that annoying line.

She has urged also that the new students, particularly,
make an effort to go through the lines more quickly.

Many people have asked why we cannot have two lines
at breakfast as we do at lunch and dinner. The reason is not
financial; the employment situation is such that enough help
for two breakfast lines simply can not be obtained. J. M.

Editors Mailbox Collects
Intriguing Newsworthy Items

By PRISCILLA SHEPPARD

When an editor has come to the
end of her original ideas, or when
gaping holes appear in the usually
type-filled columns, there is al-
ways the stack of exciting mail in
the News box which can be re-
lied upon to furnish fillers.

As an experiment this week, we
collecting those communications
and we now pass along to you a
few of the more interesting items,
which were sent to us under the
name of news, for publication.

First, there was a personal note
from Harper's magazine editor
who thought we "might be inter-
ested in the enclosed story." The
article began "Do women's col-
leges turn out more spinsters than
coeducational institutions? They
do not ..."

Next was an informative bulle-
tin from the National Headquar-
ters Selective Service System,
Washington, D. C, which gave de-
tailed instructions about dates
and places for our students to ap-
ply for the college deferment test.

I ferreted through six college
newspapers to reach this next
important communication. Behold,
we have four copies, in four sep-

arate purple envelopes each bear-
ing a three-cent stamp, of the
"Weekly Report for Americans on
Modern France and Union Fran-
caise." The lead article is en-
titled "Government in Morocco."

The politicians have not over-
looked the possibilities of the col-
lege press, either. This week's mail
produced a total of 10 pictures and
three newspapers per candidate.
"The Democrat" newspaper fea-
tured "The Republican Mess
1921-32;" the "Republican" high-
lighted "The Democratic Mess,
1932-52." Cartoons depicted Ike
with Taft, Adlai with Harry.

And then there's the green and
red announcement of the "Exam-
ination for Scientific Aid (Cotton)
fellowships offered in "Fiber Tech-
nology and Textile Technology."

But the one which caps the cli-
max is the airmail envelope ad-
dressed "Editor of School News-
paper, Martha Scott School for
Girls, Atlanta." The writer is
asking for mail and adds, "The de-
ciding factor in picking your
school to write to was the popu-
larity of the school."

All of which explains why the
wastepaper basket in the mail-
room is always full.

there." (Temp. Ill, ii)

An incident is overheard:
'-My heart is ten times lighter

than my looks." (Rich. Ill, I ii)
"Take his bottle from him."

(Temp, m, iii)

Says the passerby,

"By my troth, your town is

troubled with unruly boys."

(Com. Err. Ill, ii)

The final touch comes at the
end of the Sigma Chi party when
the brothers sing their lovely old
fraternity ballad, and a very sen-
timental and very impressed rush-
ee says,

"How beauteous mankind is! O

brave new world,

That has such people in it!"

(Temp. V, i)

At last the parties are over and
the bidding begins,
"Here is the scroll of every man's

name which is thought fit."

(Mid. N. Dr. I, ii)

And who knows what romance
will spring from a rush party? It
happened in Shakespeare's time:
"Look how this ring encompass-

eth my finger ..."

(Rich, in, I, ii)

Long live the costume parties
and tribe ritual. These are the
things that we shall look back up-
on and say,
"Them were the days."

(Landon, '54)

Preston Announces
McKinney Contest

Miss Janef Preston, assistant
professor of English, announced
this week that entries for the
1953 Louise McKinney book con-
test must be filed by the end of
the fall quarter. She also gave
further details about the award.

The Louise McKinney Book
award was founded a number of
years ago by alumnae and other
friends of Miss McKinney under
the leadership of Dr. Emma Mae
Laney, professor of English. This
award serves as a lasting tribute
to the Professor Emeritus of Eng-
lish who, during her years of
teaching at Agnes Scott, awaken-
ed in many of her students a love
of reading and a delight in the
ownership of books.

The award, consisting of $25, is
offered each year to the student
who has collected the most in-
teresting and discriminating per-
sonal library. The collection must
contain a minimum of 15 books.

The books may be acquired sec-
ond-hand, but are expected to be
in good condition. The collection
may concentrate on one field of
interest or several. Books re-
quired as texts should not pre-

Ike Leads

Faculty Political Commentary
Reveals Presidential Opinions

By Joyce Munger

It has been said that the only people who vote wisely are
members of the League of Women Voters, history majors,
and college professors. We have attempted to interview a
cross-section of the Agnes Scott faculty to determine their
preference for president. (Not to slight either candidate we
will alphabetize <the professors interviewed.)

Dr. Wallace McPherson Alston,

President, says, "I want to be for
Ike, but I feel that Ike is a babe
in the political woods.." He thinks
we need a change, but he is "des-
perately disappointed with Ike's
campaign."

Dr. Josephine Bridgman, Asso-
ciate Professor of Biology, prefers
Stevenson. Her decision is based
on his campaign, particularly on
his speeches.

Dr. William A. Calder, Profes-
sor of Physics and Astronomy, tias
switched to Stevenson. "Ike does-
n't seem to know what the score
is," he said.

Dr. Emily S. Dexter. Associate
Professor of Philosophy and Edu-
cation, is inclined toward Eisen-
hower.

Miss Leslie Janet Gaylord, As-
sistant Professor of Mathematics,
is for Eisenhower. "It's time for a
change," was her reason.

Dr. Kathryn Glick, Professor
of Classical Languages and Liter-
atures, says that Stevenson is
"the most intelligent and rational
candidate I have seen in many
years." She is impressed by his
careful analysis of the issues and
by the fact that he talks to Amer-
icans as if they were rational hu-
man beings.

Dr. Muriel Ham, Professor of
German and Spanish, prefers Ei-
senhower's "connections" to Ste-
venson's.

Dr. George P. Hayes, Professor
of English, says that he can see
the "force" of both sides. "I dis-
like Eisenhower's alignment with
Taft, McCarthy, and others, and
feel that he has won only a 'pyr-
rhic victory' in winning the nom-
ination of GOP candidate."

C. Benton Kline, Jr., Assistant
Professor of Philosophy, is for
Stevenson. He thinks that Ste-
venson has a "better grasp of the

CLASS NEWS

The freshman class last week
elected Barbara Battle to serve as
Black Cat chairman. Assisting
Barbara by leading the freshman
singing and cheering will be Har-
riette Griffin and Judy McDaniel.

The sophomore class has start-
ed the year enthusiastically with
several projects. During the sum-
mer Connie Curry, the president
of the class, printed a four-page
paper which told of the activities
of the various sophomores. This
was followed by Lucy Murray who

the plans for the class for the

The first fall project has been
to issue wallet-size identification
cards, procured after payment of
class dues. These cards have been
authorized by Dr. Alston and may
be used when identification is
necessary.

issues than Ike."

Dr. James R. McCain, President
Emeritus, a charter member of
the original corporation in Geor-
gia advocating the nomination of
Eisenhower, feels that it is "safer
to put the General in office with
his record of management and
generalship than to keep the Dem-
ocrats in power."

Dr. Walter Brownlow Posey,
Professor of History and Political
Science, prefers Eisenhower al-
though he also respects Steven-
son. Dr. Posey primarily wants
the Truman administration out of
power.

Dr. Henry P. Robinson, Profes-
sor of Mathematics, chooses Ste-
venson because he likes the Dem-
ocratic platform and because he
does "not want a military man in
the position of president."

Dr. S. G. Stukes, Dean of the
Faculty, prefers Eisenhower. "I
can vote for no candidate who
might continue Trumanism."

Dr. Elizabeth G. Zenn, Assist-
ant Professor of Classical Lan-
guages and Literatures, chooses
Eisenhower as her favorite can-
didate. She likes the Republican
platform.

Students Prefer
Ike to Adlai

By JOAN SIMMONS

An informal poll of the student
body revealed that the majority
of the students prefer Dwight D.
Eisenhower to occupy the White
House in 1953. However there
were a great number of loyal
Democrats who stuck to the party
of Adlai Stevenson.

The Ike supporters, like Ann
Alvis and Jean Gregory, freshmen,
agreed that the country needs a
change. As one Junior said 'The
Democrats have been in the Wlhite
House for 20 years and that's too
long for any party."

Apart from this, the reasons
given in support of Eisenhower
ranged widely. Barbara West and
Mary Jo Chapman, Seniors, and
Alice Johnston and Carol Cald-
well, freshman, thought that "Ike
is the better qualified of the two
candidates."

Others were more specific in
their estimate of their candidates
ability. Erline Lide, Sophomore,
"Ike can handle Stalin;" Frances
Earnest, Freshman, "I like his
personality;" Sally Wilt, freshman,
"Ike's a military man and that's
what we need;" Pat Patterson,
Junior, "I like Ike because he isn't
against the Taft-Hartley law;"
A da line Miller, Senior, "Eisenhow-
er has a good foreign policy "
Jamie McKoy, sophomore, "Ike's
my choice because he's a diplo-
mat."

Some of the students, like Erin
Young, Freshman, just "liked his
looks." Betty Ellington, Junior,
stated that she likes Eisenhower
because he is a Republican.

Katherine Hanna and Pat Stan-
ley, freshmen, just didn't like Ste-
venson. Pat held that "Stevenson
is too small townish."

The others on the Ike band-
wagon, like Peggy Hooker, Senior
took the wisest course and select-
ed Eisenhower through trust in
their "womanly intuition."

Although outnumbered, the Ste-
venson supporters were equally
certain that their candidate was
the "best man for the job." Quite
a number seemed to feel that the

Hottentots Head Techward;
Rushing Ends With Bang

By CAROL JONES

Alas! The rush season hath ended! Whether the majority of
you readers feel regret or elation at its passing, the fact remains
that from now on the society editor's job will involve a lot more
nosing around in back alleys (of the dorms) and other obscure places,
such as the smoke-filled lower rooms of Murphey Candler, to find out
what has been going on and who has been going where. Excuse me
while I take time out for a silent tear of woe.

But all is not dark and dismal yet, so before I become too absorbed
in lamentations it might be wise to report on last week's doin's.
There were big things happening around town over the weekend as
the last rush parties were being crowded in at Tech. At least no
one could say that rush week died a slow death. And as usual the
hottentots were lending their numbers and enthusiasm to the final
functions to make them a howling success.

The Sigma Chi square dance at Snap Finger Farm Friday night
was an exciting affair, as Nancy Lee, Barbara Battle, Emmy Hay.
Norma Bainbridge, Mary Lowrie Alexander, Connie Ormsby, Sidney
Newton, Virginia Love, or Margaret BurweU will gladly testify
especially Margaret, who came home wearing a Sigma Chi pin!

Out at Fritz Orr's, Lucy Doyle, Joan Simmons, Betty McFarland,
Betty Ponder, Jo Carrison, Alvia Cook, Harriette Mitchell, Margaret
Griffith, Barbara Mann, and Betty Richardson enjoyed real old south-
ern barbecue at a Sigma Alpha Epsilon picnic, also Friday night.

Alpha Tau Omega had a house dance Friday night a "Go To
Hell" costume party. (Apologies to the censors.) This means that al-
most anythiifg could be worn, and one of our own young ladies was
seen 'neath a sign reading:

"I've been around

I'm no beginner.

Why am I here?

I'm the Agnes Scott sinner!"
We won't tell on her, but she was either Jo Ann Hall, Helen Haynes,
Carol Stroud, Mabel Milton, Diana Butler, Shirley Hurt, Mary Edna
Clark, Pat Tooley, Letty Grafton, Carolyn Tinklepaugh, Marianne
McPherson, Hannah Jackson, Chica Ogden, or Helen McGowan.

Several girls went to the Kappa Alpha house over the weekend to
help them have a successful rush season. At their party Saturday
night were Patty Morgan, Elin Erichson, Mary Ann Wyatt, Jean
Levie, Rosalyn Kennedy, Liz Mickle, Lynn Lash, Eleanor Estes, and
Pat Spivey.

Then there were those who went home for the weekend, as Alma
Scoggins, Marian McElroy, Virginia Claire Hays, and Anne (Dalton)
Jones did.

Thus ends my epistle. After reeling off that list of names, I'll
bet you wouldn't be able to write a conclusion, either!)

Bonfire to Highlight Pep Rally
Heralding 52 Hockey Season

By Carolyn Wells

A pep rally tomorrow night
should be an excellent reminder
to anyone who might otherwise
forget that the 1952 hockey sea-
son begins this Friday, Oct. 10, as
the seniors and juniors line up on
the field and the beginning whis-
tle blows at 4 in the afternoon.
A ug? bon-fire at the far end of
the hockey field will silhouette
the shadows of the Aggie Hotten-
tots as they sing 'lass songs and
try to out-holle.* e~ch other. The
cheerleaders will led tne evening's
fun, which will begin at 10 p. m.,
and will last for about 30 minutes.
Anne Thomson, AA vice president.
Is in charge of the* event.

With spirits running high and
each ckss determined to win, sis-
ter classes will oppose sister
classes in the classic opening
games, Friday. Seniors and ju-

niors bully for the ball at 4: the
?opromores and freshmen oppose
each other in the second game. A
very large crowd is anticipated.
AA board is planning to sell food
for the patrons' pleasure.

The four teams are developing
nicely from the evidences at prac-
tice and the beams on the man-
agers' faces. Anne Thomson is
serving as hockey manager in the
absence of Joen Fagan from the
board. The class managers are:
Frances Cook, seniors; Nancy Lee.

niors: Libby Wilron, sopho-
mores ; :.nd Emmy Lou Sessions,
.eshmen.

M.s. Stratton Story, instructor
n physical education, and Mrs.
Nicholas Lombardy, an official of
die American Field Hockey asso-
.'ation, v. ill be the referees of

e first game. Mrs. Lombardy
will probably referee other games
also.

the music. All the choral work
is in English.

The photography does much to
insure the success of the film.
A straight - forward use of the
camera is the main technique
used. The camera moves toward
the painting, away from it, and
then sweeps slowly past the paint-
ing. The camera views the entire
painting, then concentrates on se-
lected details.

"Saint Matthew Passion" is an
SO-minute film which has been
described as being "an artistic
and emotional treat overwhelm-
ingly minor in key and tragic."
The showing at Agnes Scott will
be its first appearance in the
South. Tickets are on sale in
Buttrick lobby this week and will
be available at the door. Admis-
sion is 65 cents.

Student Poll

(Continued front page 3)

Republicans were "playing up the
corruption in government too
much." Jane Childers, freshman,
ho stated that she had original-
ly supported Eisenhower, said she
switched to Stevenson after hear-
ing Ike speak in her home town
of Birmingham. Ala. "Eisenhower
is too abstract, Stevenson offers
a definite platform."

Sally Greenville, freshman
'< mod herself "100 per cent for
Stevenson because he is an in-
dividualist and will think for him-
self." Betsy Hodges, Senior,
thought that the country would be
"worse off under the Republi-
cans." Helen Haynes, Freshman,
likes "what Stevenson says and
the way he says it."

A cross-section of Juniors were
for Stevenson because they felt

Athletic association will use the

Ann Baxter, president, has an-
nounced. The blackout system
was instituted last year, and the
present junior class won both
quarters it was used.

basement of the gym for students

a student has participated in any
of the sports listed on the chart,
she may add her name under her
class and check the sport or spirts
in which she has spent at least

The choice of the winner is
based on the. percentage of class
participation plus tne percentage
of the numbers of sports blacked
out by individual class members.
The class which has the highest

that the Democratic party was the
more deeply concerned over the
farm situation.

A large number of students con-
idered themselves "Democratic by
heritage." Margie Vann and Ann
Ballard, freshmen, were drawn to
Stevenson because of his "intellec-
tual qualities."

There were a few unreconstruct-
ed rebels who hadn't dropped the
"Hustle for Russell" motto. The
Pogo-ites announced their inten-
tion of establishing a headquarters
on the campus. But the majority
of the enthusiastic supporters
were down-hearted over the fact
that 21 was a long way off and

'Take Two From One

Blackfriars Chooses Farce
For November Production

Blackfriars has chosen "Take Two From One" for its fall
production to be presented in Presser hall November 20.
"Take Two From One" is a farce in three acts written by
Gregorio and Maria Martines Sierra and translated into
English by Helen and Harley Granville-Barke.

Gregorio Martines Sierra, hav-
ing been born and educated in

Madrid, is a well-known Spanish
author. His first literary venture
was in poetry; later he turned to
plays and non-dramatic works.
His first success in drama was
"The Cradle Song." It was not
only popular in Madrid, but also
enjoyed a t long run on Broadway.
His wife, Maria, was often a co-
author.

One of his critics, Joseph Wood
Krutch, has called him "unabash-
edly romantic," with a charm that
is "quaintly exotic." Even his
most severe critics agree that
he "has a capacity for inspiring
. . . plots with warm sensibility
and poetic warmth."

The opening scene of "Take
Two From One" is on board a
ship where Faustino, a good-look-
ing young Spanish lawyer, is hon-
ey-mooning with the young and
attractive Diana. The ship's par-
ty is all gathered around Regina,
skilled reader of the cards, who
is telling their future. The act
ends with the ship afire.

The second act takes place in
Faustino's flat in Madrid. The
situation has greatly changed:
Faustino is happily and comfort-
ably at home with his wife, Mar-
Art, Music Depts.

The Music and Art depart-
ments will present "St. Mat-
thew Passion" tomorrow eve-
ning at 8 p. m. in Gaines cha-
pel. Tickets will be available
at the door.

cela. It is quite obvious that Mar-
cela differs completely from Fau-
stino's wife, Diana.

The last act also takes place
in Faustino's flat. Happily or un-
happily Diana returns upon the
scene. Faustino boldly declares
that he loves Diana and Marcela
equally as well. How is it pos-
sible to "Take Two From One?"

Blackfriars will supply the an-
swer Nov. 20.

Glee Club Will Sing

der the direction of Miss Roxie

The main selection will be
"Ceremony of the Carols" by
Benjamin Britten. Since the Glee

'Cheese and Broccoli 9
Scores for Seniors

By Joan Simmons

The rains came and left the hockey field in no condition
to serve as an athletic battleground, but Black Cat Com-
munity day was a roaring success in spite of the elements.
A new high in cooperation was achieved as the campus
went all out to welcome the freshmen.

Preceding the third annual song

contest and skit, a buffet supper
in the dining hall was substituted
for the picnic on the athletic field
originally planned. To get every-
one in the mood, black paper cat
favors were distributed. At 7
o'clock things really got under
way as the classes marched into
the gym, cheering and singing.
The freshmen in blue and white
greatly outnumbered the other
classes but over-all attendance
seemed not to have suffered from
competition with the Emory IFC
dance and the after-game frater-
nity parties.

The seniors, juniors, and sopho-
mores each sang an old Black Cat
song followed by the school spirit
song contest in which all the
classes participated. The judges,
President Wallace Alston, Mrs.
Stratton Story, and Dean S. G.
Stukes, gave the sophomores hon-
orable mention, while the seniors'

Merrill Will Open Season
With Atlanta Symphony

Robert Merrill, baritone,
Will appear with the Atlanta
Symphony Orchestra next
Tuesday, Oct. 21 in the open-
ing concert of the 1952-53
series. The concert will begin
at 8:30 p. m. in the Municipal
Auditorium.

"Cheese and Broccoli" stole the
show and the first place award.

The gym rocked with cheers,
claps and laughs as "Hep Cat Hol- t
low" made its premiere. It is real-
ly doubtful if the campus will ev-
er forget the talent displayed by
the versatile faculty members
who proved that they were true
"hep-cats."

The daring motorcyclists "Fear-
less" Frierson and "Daredevil"
Calder proved that they were
whizzes outside the science hall.,
too. That eminent speaker, Miss
Roberta Winter, elucidated on
cats and any and all related sub-
jects while students literally roll-
ed in the aisles.

Sighs echoed the building as
that "gone musician" Mike Mc-
Dowell slouched onto the stage.
Dr. W. B. Posey's demonstration
for Pogo will probably start a
revolution on campus, while stu-
dents will take to reading James
Metcalfe after Miss Leyburn's
tender rendition.

That homespun philosopher, C.
B. Kline, caused the audience to
do a "heap of laughing."

And last but by no means least,
the Martin-Hayes-Cartledge-Wig-
gins quartet was recalled for two
encores. This exciting display of
talent has created a wave of pop-
ular demand for another full-

Cut It Short

Have you ever sat and griped while a dorm (or cottage)
mate monopolized the phone for an hour. If so, we assure
you, then, you're not alone.

There is nothing more maddening than to have to make
an important call (or be waiting for one) and to have the
line occupied by some sweet young thing who hasn't seen
her boyfriend for two whole hours. I'm sure all of us have
had a friend (male or otherwise) to tell us that they tried to
get us several nights in succession and finally gave up in
disgust.

With the decidedly limited number of telephones and out-
side lines for the campus this situation is hard to remedy
but it could certainly be alleviated to a degree pleasing to all
concerned.

It all boils down to a question of consideration for others.
The main trouble is that everyone gripes enough when
someone else is doing the talking, but we never apply the
moral to ourselves. A little careful planning might help,
such as making calls during the hours when there is less
demand for the phones or suggesting that friends call dur-
ing those times. A student should not hesitate to chalk up
a houseknock for the offender. Perhaps fines would bring
results.

A strict observation of the five minute limit would bring
fewer headaches, especially for the poor, distraught switch-
board operator and more dates and a reserve of conversa-
tional matter for the next time. J. S.

Attention: Faculty

After Black Cat and the faculty's showing us what they
can do, we'd like to follow up last week's editorial on the
subject with an earnest, eager plea for a faculty production.
They gave us a sample Saturday night, we want more of the
same, and we are certain that there is more of the same
available.

To students, who, after hours and hours of classroom lec-
tures, are sometimes inclined to look upon professor^ as
humorless, less-than-human paragons of learning, faculty
skits are always priceless. It is then that we snap out of
our misconceptions and really become acquainted with our
teachers.

An additional point in support of our plea is the fact that a
faculty production has been an occasional thing on the Ag-
nes Scott campus, whereas none has been given during the
residence of any of the present four classes. The way we fig-
ure it, the faculty only need give one every fourth year.
Let's make this year a fourth one. B. H.

ASC Students Tell
Summer Impressions

By Joyce Munger

Several Agnes Scotters had the
opportunity of visiting Europe this
summer. Since it is impossible
to print all their experiences, per-
haps the next best thing is to re-
late to the less fortunate ones
the most outstanding impressions
of our world travellers.

Sara Dudney was much im-
pressed by the British people's
patriotism to their monarch and
their country.

"It is a thing one must experi-
ence to appreciate," said
Sara. 'They serve their
queen with much formality and
ceremony the Trooping of the
Color on Her Majesty's birthday,
the coronation itself, the Chang-
ing of the Guard at Whitehall and
her palaces, and the singing of
'God Save the Queen' at all pub-
lic affairs, such as movies, plays,
and operas, show this patriotism
which impressed me so during
our four-week stay with the Brit-
ish people."

Grace Olert replied, "It is dif-
ficult to single out any one thing
and say it impressed me the most.
Europe was a series of numerous
impressions and multiple experi-
ences.

"I might say I was impressed by
the linguistic versatility of the
Europeans; it embarrassed me. I
was also impressed with the
crowded livintg conditions; you
hardly ever see a private home in
the city metropolis. Or perhaps,
I might add, I was shocked by the
low moral habits, especially of
the French. I just have not de-
cided what "impressed" me the
most, but at the moment I'm im-
pressed with the idea of going
back."

British Austerity

Here is Pris Sheppard's state-
ment: "It's so hard to pick out
one thing, but I believe the se-
verity of the British economic sit-
uation impressed me most. The
continued rationing of most es-
sential foods, or the prohibitive
price of those not rationed, cer-
tainly hasn't daunted the British
spirit, though. They still queue
most cheerfully for everything
from sweets to Katherine Hep-
burn.

"I was also much impressed by
the British educational system,
which is so different from ours.
Since there is no university edu-
cation for the masses there, their
preparatory schools have to do
a much more thorough job on
their students. Why, the nine-
year-old son in the family with
which I lived quoted Shakespeare
as well as he played cricket."
Greek Patriotism
Georgia Syribeys was most im-
pressed by two things in Greece.
One was the unusual rugged beau-
ty of the surrounding terrain
the mountains, sea, and the for-
ests being simultaneously in view.
The other was the fierce patriot-
ism of the Greek people es-
pecially in their demonstration
against England for the return
of Cyprus to Greek rule.

"One day, by chance the Fourth
July, everything all over
Greece closed as protest against
British domination. Even the iso-
ated country towns, high in Mt.
Parnassus near Delphi, were clos-
ed."

Katherine Hanna was most im-
essed with Switzerland. She
thought that it looked just like its
pictures. It is a land of con-
trasts. For instance, while peo-
ple were swimming in the valley,
others were skiing in the snow-
covered mountains. Katherine

ASC Cinderella

Dull Doll Turns Date Bait
As Janie Out-Fables Aesop

By Jane Landon

Once upon a time there was a sweet little college girl
named Cinderella. Now it must be admitted that Cinder-
ella was no raving beauty, but she was real nice and all the
girls were crazy about her. Cinderella lived in a triple on
third Rebekman, and her roommates were giving her a
complex because they were party

derella looked down at the Nu
Nu and shed a tear of joy. The
boy was so touched that he asked
her to wear his Nu Nu watch
chain, and so from that day on
Cinderella had many, many dates,
and never was turned into a
pumpkin because she always got
back by 11:45 on week nights and

gals. In fact. Cinderella always
loaned them her clothes, and
cleaned up the room everyday,
and made excuses for them to
their professors when they cut
classes, and lots of other things,
but she never went out. . One of
her roommates was the sweet-
heart of Phi Hadda Pin, and the
other was the Dream Girl of Leg-
ga Lambda, so naturally they had
many opportunities to get Cinder-
ella dates. But still Cinderella sat
in her little room giving home
permanents, watching people come
and go, and taking phone duty.

Suddenly, on a Saturday night,
one of the Nu Nu pledges from
Tech (their motto was, "Nu Nu's
is Good News") was being ini-
tiated, and so he happened out by
Cinderella's school. The good bro-
thers had given him a shoe, and he
had a date with the girl that the
shoe fit for the big fraternity fish
fry and stomp.

The shoe was size 12 AA-
AAAA, so the pledge naturally
hoped that he would have to go
alone to the big party. All of the
girls at school wanted to go to the
big affair so they came in droves
to try on the shoe but their
feet were all either too short or
too wide. Soon our Cinderella
ran the elevator down to the first
floor to see what all the noise was
about because she was trying to
study her Old Icelandic for Mon-
day (Cinderella was real practic-
al, too), and was being disturbed.

One of the girls spied her and
said, "Cinderella, if the shoe fits,
wear it," so Cinderella blushingly
cantered over to the boy and tried
it on. Lo and behold, the shoe
DID fit. Not trusting herself to
speak (this phrase again the

Frances Ginn was most im-

Spinning the Patter

Campus Cats Cuts Capers;
IFC Dance Completes Fun

By CAROL JONES

The campus kittens were cutting capers to beat the band last
week-end as Black Cat reigned over Agnes Scott or should we
say "rained?" But even when viewed through a fog, the week's ob-
viously memorable for many a starry-eyed visitor to Hep Cat Hol-
low, especially those of the senior class, who walked off with every-
thing but the kitty! They deserve a warm meow of congratulations
for their prize-winning "Cheese and Broccoli" song. And to the fresh-
man a paw is extended in Welcome to the Hollow. We're glad to add
all that impressive talent to our ranks.

Many important visitors were here for the program. Sue Purdom,
Ann Cooper, and Ann (Texas) Jones were among those who en-
tertained guests by initiating them to the ways of the cherished kitty.

Dashing from Agnes Scott Saturday night in a flurry of fur (cat
fur and we do mean shoe polish and crepe paper!) droves of girls
descended upon Emory for the IFC dance. Jane Childers, Ellen
Griffen, Ann Sayre, Judy Welch, Jane Crook. Linda Gunther, Jane
Davidson, Mary Jo Carpenter, Jean Drumheller, Relia Turpin, Lois
Anne Dryden, Ann Welborn, Gail Rogers, Jane Frisk, and Jan Var-
ner are just a few of the ones who went. Needless to say, it was quite
a gay affair. /

The Tech-Tulane game, too, drew a large crowd, well-sprinkled
with girls who had flouted the Sheltering Arms for the afternoon.
Mary Anna Fesler, Memye Curtis, Deche Armstrong, JoAnn Barrett,
Joan Fagen, Mary Ann Garrard, Genny Lucchese, and Ellen Hunter
cheered the Yellow Jackets on to victory, along with several others.

There were lots of parties over the week-end, both at Tech and
Emory. Mary Dean, Sally Dooley, Mary Ann Warnell and Zo Ander-
son went to the Phi Delta Theta house at Emory Friday night; Jane
Landon and Sidney Newton were at the Phi Chi house Saturday and
Nancy Ruffner, Elin Erichson, Adaline Miller, Cotton Williams, Ger-
ry Cunningham, 3etsy Hodges, and Caroline Lester visited the AKK
medical fraternity house Saturday night.

Two girls had very special parties right here on campus. Katherine
Hanna's family came down from Spartanburg for Black Cat and
Katherine's birthday celebration all in one. And over in Gaines Cot-
tage Friday night the girls had a tacky party to celebrate Swedish
student Ulla Beckman's birthday. It was Ulla's first real American
birthflay party, with cake and all the trimmings.

As usual, many girls went out of town this week-end. Annette'
Jones, Mary McLanahan, June Mansour, Liz Mickle, and Harriette
Mallard all went home, and Shirley Simpson and Frances 6inn head-
ed for Athens and the University of Georgia.

The Lupton Lovelies would like to announce the engagement of
Lovely Alma Scoggins. Also with a glitter on her finger is Betty
McLellan. Eleanor Estes turned up with a KA pin from over Tech-
way Saturday night.

If anyone has been wondering about the absence from this column
of the familiar bold-face type, it is because the society editor was
unconsciously included in what might go under the heading of "Street
Scenes" on the trolley the other day as two readers gave the society
column of their News a quick glance to see "who was in it" and
passed oh. It was a blow to the vanity which can only be survived by
making it harder for anyone to do such an unheard-of-thing!

Individual Choice

By MARJI HENDERSON

We are Americans, and as
Americans v^e are individuals.
Because this is election year, we
have an opportunity to express
our views as individuals and to
choose those leaders who will up-
hold our particular convictions.

The necessity for the individual
in a democracy to exercise his
right to vote was aptly expressed
by Woodrow Wilson when he said:

"The right is more precious than
peace, and we shall fight for the
things we have always carried
nearest our hearts for democ-
racy, for the rights of those who
submit to authority to have a
voice in their own governments,
for the rights and liberties of
small nations, for the universal
dominion of right by such a con-
cert of free peoples as shall bring
peace and safety to all nations
and make the world itself at last
free."

We are protecting this right
when we go to the polls and cast
the lot which John Pierpont de-
scribed as

"The weapon that comes down
as still

As' snowlflakes fall upon the sod,
But executes a freeman's will
As lightning does the will of
God."

Black Cat

length faculty skit.

The campus kittens did them-
selves proud in the last half of
the skit. The cat chorus- intro-
duced the class talent. Donna
Dugger, Frances Cook, and Ann
"Texas" Jones brought back mem-
ories of "An Evening in Paris" as
they recreated the sailor bit "How
You Gonna Keep 'Em Down on
the Farm?"

Juniors Vallie Burnet and Lynn
Johnston dead-panned a south-
seas number, while a sophomore
group presented western songs
and dancer Mary Hood.

The freshmen proved they real-
ly have what it takes when their
time came to exhibit their talent.
Prancing cuties Ruthie Norton
and Nancy Thomas did the intro-
ductions. The upperclassmen ap-
peared very much impressed by a
display which included Senorita
Memye with her castenets, Judy
McDaniel and her acrobatics,
Rookie Smith and an "honest-to-
goodness" Russian song, the chor-
us quintette of Battle, Hay, Gra-
ham, Gaye, and Green, and Bar-
bara Boye's complete symphony
orchestra which received an en-
thusiastic ovation.

The evening ended with the an-
nouncement of the contest win-
ners and the seniors threw poise
to the winds as the whole catty
bunch "shouted till the rafters
rang."

Ed.'s Note: In answer to sever-
al requests, we are reprinting the
words to the senior song which
won the first place in the Black
Cat song contest last week.

Floyd Gives Appeal
For Pledges to CA

Ginny Lee Floyd, C. A. treasur-
er, stressed in chapel on Oct. 7,
that pledging to the C. A. budget
is "an opportunity to go beyond
self to serve the others on our
campus, the needy in our com-
munity, Christian leaders in our
country, and at least a few of the
helpless in the world."

In response to this, C. A. has
received more pledges than last
year, for 265 pledges have been
received to date, as contrasted
with the 242 pledges of last year.

The students and faculty who
have not yet pledged and desire
to do so can get blanks from the
pledge boxes in the Treasurer's
office and in the book store, or
from the hall prayers chairmen.

The new chairmen of hall pray-
ers were announced this week by
C. A.. They are Betty Forte, Sal-
lie Green, Nancy Gay, Ellen Grif-
fin, Harriette Griffin, Harriet
Hampton. Emmie Hay, Helen
Haynes, Betsy Hill, Jo Hinchey,
Dottie Holcomb, Barbara Huey,
Mae Huie, Mary Evelyn Knight,
Harriet Mallard, Margie Martin,
Joanne Miklas, Sue Purdom and
Jane Stubbs.

C. A. has also announced the
new Intiercolleigiate representa-
tives. Intercollegiate Council con-
sists of representatives of the
colleges and universities in the
Atlanta area. This group discus-
ses current events, student cam-
pus problems, compares campus
activities, and plans conferences.

Chairman Cotton Williams has
announced that our representa-
tives are Dee Vann, Grace Olert,
Vivian Weaver, Jane Nelson, and

AA Sponsors New Fireplace
For Use of Students, Faculty

By Peggy Pfeiffer

Athletic association is sponsoring the building of an out-
door fireplace for the use of all students and faculty. Now
in construction, it will be completed by this Friday if the
weather permits. The fireplace will be located just left of
the path leading to the observatory.

Several years ago, another fire-
place near this same spot had to
be torn down because of the con-
struction of the observatory.

The idea for this new fireplace
originated with Anne Thomson,
AA vice-president. Plans were
formulated last spring and sum-
mer and the actual construction
began about a week ago.

The result of all these plans
and work will be a fireplace ap-
proximately three feet by six feet
(these figures are just impromptu
guesses by AA president, Ann
Baxter) and will have one oven
and a grill. Athletic association
hopes to supply benches and ta-
bles soon to complete the picnic
picture.

Athletic association will chris-
ten the fireplace next Monday
when they have a picnic and
board meeting there. After that,
the campus is invited to use it
for various purposes. It will be
on bounds for the college students
until 9 p. m. and AA suggests it
as "a wonderful place for the girls
to take dates for picnics and wie-
ner roasts."

As we all remember, the rain
threw a damper on the opening
hockey game last Friday, so the
season will begin this Friday with
the frosh pitted against the sophs
and the juniors matched against
the seniors.

The games will start promptly
at 4 p. m. The four classes led
by their respective cheerleaders
are expected to turn out in full
force to support their tearfts in
this favorite sport.

We stopped by the gym the
other day to see if, by looking at
the Blackout chart, we could pre-
dict which class would win with
the most participants in the pro-
gram. It seems as if both the
freshmen and the sophomores are
really putting the other classes in
the shade! Their columns are
really beginning to resemble a

Harriette Potts to be Finalist
In Go. Maid of Cotton Contest

By Joan Simmons

Who ever said that Agnes Scott girls had nothing but
brains? The final judging for the Georgia Maid of Cotton
contest will be held tonight and one of the finalists is Har-
riette Potts from our own campus. Th6 winner will represent
Georgia in national competition at the Cotton carnival in
Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 29 and 30.

The contest is held throughout
the southern states and judging
is based on the contestants' beau-
ty, personality and poise. There
are nine competing district beau-
ties in the Georgia contest. This
will be the first year Georgia has
been officially represented.

Harriette is a junior from New-
nan, and she represents the fourth
district. She is majoring in his-
tory and political science and is
social chairman of Christian as-
sociation, a member of Social
committee, and a member of Co-
tillion club.

She was Sweetheart of Sigma
Chi at Emory her freshman year
and has been a member of the
May Court the past two years. In
addition to this she was selected
in the top three in the beauty sec-
tion of the Silhouette both her
freshman and sophomore years.

The winner of the Georgia con-
test will be crowned at 8 p. m. to-
night at the Biltmore hotel. The
program will be open to the pub-
lic. For the past two days a va-
riety of entertainment has been
provided for the contestants and
their families. George C. Big-
gers Sr., president of Atlanta
Newspapers Inc., will serve as
master of ceremonies at the
crowning ceremonies tonight.

First Hockey Games Forecast
Close Battles as Teams Tie 1-1

By Carolyn Wells

The hockey teams on the campus of Agnes Scott certainly
proved Friday that this year's race is going to be a mighty
close battle. Crossing sticks in the first game of the season
the seniors and juniors fought bitterly to a 1-1 tie; the sopho-
mores and freshmen raced up and down the field in the sec-
ond game only to reach another

1-1 stalemate. So with the first
two games' history everybody is
tied for first place and, aside
from providing exercise, the games

Concert To Benefit

The Junior Atlanta Woman's
club has undertaken the estab-

juvenile delinquency and to pro-
duce better citizens.

To finance this project, the
club is sponsoring three concerts
by Henry L. Scott, a distinguished
piano humorist. These perform-
ances will be at the Tower the-
ater at 8:30 p. m., Oct. 31, and at
2:30 and 8:30 p. m. Nov. 1. The

fore an impressive crowd of about

work, the juniors raced down
field to score in the first minutes
of the game. Katherine Mat-
thews shot the goal after excel-
lent assistance from team-mates
Jane Zuber, Judy Promnitz, and
Betty Ellington.

In the final seconds of the ini-
tial quarter Mary Beth Robinson
managed to push the ball over the
goal line to lock the game, 1-1.

stood the rest of the afternoon.

The second quarter of the sen-
ior-junior game was dominated by
the defense as Julie Grier and
Lilla Kate Parramore drove the
ball to their respective forward
lines time and again. A second
senior drive petered out at the
striking circle as the final horn
sounded.

The freshmen certainly stiowed
fine promise of great things to

I Like Ike

We do not belong to that school of political predicators
who forecast disintegration of the United States if their
candidate is not elected Nov. 4. We believe that Americans
last summer chose two of perhaps the best qualified of their
ranks to vie for their top office. Nevertheless, we also be-
lieve that America desperately needs a change of adminis-
tration and that Gen. Eisenhower is best qualified for the
Presidency of the United States.

Since July, when Gov. Stevenson apparently reluctantly
accepted the Democratic nomination while giving almost
unprecedented praise to his oppdnent, Stevenson's position
has regrettably altered a great deal. To mention only two
changes: Stevenson has endorsed the Truman program fa-
voring a national compulsory FEPC, a matter which Eisen-
hower believes should remain in the hands of the states;
and he has come out in support of seizure by federal govern-
ment of the tidelands oil from the gulf coast states, even
though Texas' unquestionable rights to hers were guaranteed
when she joined the union.

We believe the U. S. needs a change in government not
just a new head on the same old corrupt body. We question
the ability of Stevenson to clean up what he himself called
"that mess in Washington" created by his own party, when
he has embraced so many of the Truman policies and the
Democratic appointees have embraced him. As S. C. Dem-
ocratic Gov. Byrnes said in announcing his support for Ike,
the job of cleaning up the "mess" cannot be entrusted to the
men who made the "mess."

Foreign Policy

Foreign policy is undoubtedly the most important issue
in the current campaign, and the accusations by Truman
that Eisenhower made "gross blunders" have been proven
false. As the Forrestal diaries recorded, the blunders which
gave Manchuria to the Russians and left Korea divided stem-
med from Truman's failure to follow the general's advice.
The slur comes with ill grace from Stevenson's advocate,
the President, who not only retained Ike as commander-in-
chief but gave him high honors, called him from retirement
to use his great influence to organize and command the vital
defenses of the North Atlantic nations, and offered him "the
highest post in my power even the Presidency."

We believe Eisenhower to be by far the best qualified to
formulate an active foreign policy which will win the Korean
war and prevent further stalemates. Critics say Ike is a pro-
fessional soldier and therefore unsuited for the Presidency.
We agree with many others who in this hour of peril, would
rather have a professional soldier than a professional poli-
tician as President. We support the general's philosophy
that the "only way America or any other nation can win
World War III is to prevent it."

Domestic Policy

We also believe in Ike's domestic policy, which would limit
our headlong rush toward the welfare state where Peter,
the private enterpriser, is robbed to pay Paul, the idle ac-
ceptor of the government dole, and both lose all incentive to
work.

In urging economy in government to reduce taxes, Ike
tells of a suggestion he received for a new holiday national
tax freedom day. May 19 was selected this year as the
first day in 1952 that the average American could call the
dollar his own. For the first four months and 19 days every
penny earned by the average American went not to pay liv-
ing expenses but to pay his federal, state and local taxes.
Ike and the Republicans will work for a balanced budget
which hasn't been achieved since the Democrats came into
power 20 years ago.

It is absurd to believe that a man with Eisenhower's prov-
en qualities of leadership and integrity could become the
puppet of anyone. It is especially difficult to accept the
slanderous accusations that Taft and others are "dictating" to
the general. Eisenhower, we believe, is to be commended
upon seeking to restore unity among the divergent elements
of his party as well as welcoming support from independ-
ents. Splinter parties have never been able to win an elec-
tion in the U. S., and countries where there is a separate
party for every conceivable group, like France, are notori-
ously weak. We maintain that there can be harmony with-
out capitulation of principles.

Before completing this testimony in favor of Gen. Eisen-
hower, we would mention one further factor. We believe
that loyalty is one of the primary virtues but to be sin-
cere it must work both ways. The Democratic party has
trampled on the Solid South's interests for 20 years while

Jerry Kluttz, condensed from

Post." (To be continued.)

As Nov. 4 rapidly approaches. Americans, perhaps realiz-
ing how much is involved in this election, are becoming in-
creasingly aware of the policies advocated by the presiden-
tial candidates. Many have been very favorably impressed
by the ideas of Governor Stevenson, the man who "talks
sense to the American people."

One of Stevenson's policies which is of particular interest
to the South is his stand on civil rights. In his recent tour
of the South he convinced many that his ideas on this tick-
lish topic are fair and sound. Stevenson advocates compul-
sory FEPC laws enacted by the individual states and by the
federal government only if the states refuse to do this. He
pleased his Southern supporters with his statement, "I do
not believe Southerners have les*s regard for human dig-
nity than other Americans."

To cut drastically government spending, Stevenson be-
lieves, might be a very dangerous step. Most of the tax bur-
den is primarily due to national defense, on which was spent
89 cents of every federal dollar budgeted by the federal gov-
ernment for this fiscal year. "I would say that perhaps it's
wiser to spend money ... to buy insurance than it would be
to risk war and the cost of rebuilding the house," says Ste-
venson.

Development of Resources

Another issue of vital importance to the South is that of
public interest versus private utilities. Shall the nation's
natural resources be developed by private utilities, as the
Republicans seem to advocate, or by the government, as Ste-
venson advocates? The continuance and expansion of these
government projects mean lower priced electricity, flood
control, and conservation. I personally believe that it is
unfair for private enterprise to handle the natural resources
belonging to our entire nation, as endorsed by the Repub-
licans.

The foreign policy of each candidate is, perhaps, the most
vital issue to consider; for all the other issues are subordin-
ate to the outcome of our present entanglements abroad. The
Democratic candidate supports the mobilizing of our mil-
itary and economic power and the strengthening of the U. N.,
NATO, and Four Point aid. Stevenson has not ruled out all
hopes of peace. To the contrary, he states his hopes in these
words: "Not in the ashes of another world war but only in
the atmosphere of a peaceful world can the reaffirmation of
the right of self-determination have any meaning. I will
never fear to negotiate in good faith with the Soviet Union,
for to close the door to the conference room is to open the
door to war."

Not only the platform, but also the man is of utmost im-
portance. Stevenson is just as promising as his ideas. A
man with much political experience behind him, the Illin-
ois governor has been very effective in cleaning up corrup-
tion in his own state. Known as "The Independent," he is
not a man to compromise and become entangled with pol-
iticians.

Gifted with unusual eloquence, Stevenson is noted for his
original speeches whose tone of intelligence has appealed to
Americans, long accustomed to political addresses with vo-
cabulary and thought content adapted to 12-year-olds.

I personally believe that Governor Stevenson is the best
qualified candidate for the presidency. He has had more
experience in politics here at home than Eisenhower, who
has spent a large percentage of his time outside the country.
That *a man who can direct an army can also successfully
direct an entire nation is a dangerous, and perhaps a fatal,

I Go Pogo

An "on-the-fence" voter, one who cannot make up his mind
between the two parties, is a "rara avis" in 1952. One can-
not say that the parties do not take different views on major
issues, for all the similarities in the two platforms. The is-
sues are the same but the answers are hot; each party has a
particular theory as to what the general trend of governmen-
tal policy should be,.

Rather, 1952 is characterized particularly by the disillu-
sioned voter. Some will point out that there will always be
a disgruntled few. But this type of person seems to be the
rule rather than the exception this year. The whole trouble
is an amazing loss of confidence by the people in their two
presidential candidates. In August, soon after the conven-
tions, everyone seemed to have a clear-cut notion of his per-
sonal choice for the presidency, and he had plenty of reasons
to support his decision. Now we find, as opinion on our
campus indicates, that those who knew their own minds
back in August are confused and disappointed on the eve
of the election.

We find that many enthusiastic young voters, eager for a
change in administration and a general clean-up of the "mess
in Washington," have lost the exuberance they had at the
outset. These, however, do not wish to turn to the Demo-
cratic party, because they do not find there that which they
are seeking.

Unless campaign affairs take a turn from the course they
have been following since Labor Day, we predict that 1952
may not be such a show of popular opinion, after all.

courting the vote of the pressure groups of other sections.
The Democrats have consistently neglected the Southern
small business man and independent farmer to cater to the
labor unions and big city vote. Again quoting Byrnes, it is
time for Southerners to put loyalty to the country above
loyalty to their traditional political party. This autumn the
South has enjoyed being an area whose vote is courted
the two-party system appeals and the South's interests are
aligned with the platform of Eisenhower.

We believe in Ike. We believe he can command the re-
spect and cooperation of the best men from both parties
to clean up the government and raise our national prestige to
a new high pitch. We must choose our greatest leader to be
our President. Priscilla Sheppard

inference.

I believe that Stevenson is more independent than the Re-
publican candidate, who has recently received widespread
criticism for his political connections and dependence on
them. As for the danger of Stevenson's being tied to Presi-
dent Truman, it seems most unlikely to me that a man as
independent as Stevenson would in any way depend on a
former president who had retired from office into private
life. Joyce Munger

Warrr Eagle Cries Fill Air
For Party-Packed Week-end

By MABEL MILTON, Guest Editor

Waaarrrrrrrr Eagle. Now where have I heard that say it
sounds familiar? Well it certainly ought to after the invasion of the
Auburnites this past week-end. The War Eagle cries have become
faint now, but their visit will not be forgotten. As I was snooping
around for the latest dope, I saw many a smiling face and heard
quite a few joyous accounts of a very wonderful week-end.

Between the cries of "Hold That Tiger" and "Touchdown, Engineers"
the Hottentots invaded Grant Field Saturday afternoon for the foot-
ball game. As Genny Lucchese, Jan Varner, Evelyn Mason, Jo Ann
Hall, Louise Harley, Harriette Griffin, Deche Armstrong, Mary Ann
Garrard, LaGrande Smith, Ellen Hunter, and Mary Anna Fesler
watched, the Yellow Jackets soared to another victory.

Although the rush season is over for another year, the parties have
continued with full force both at Tech and Emory. The Sigma Al-
pha Epsilon picnic at Groover's lake Friday night included Joen Fa-
gan, Jo Ann Carrison, Marji Henderson, Fran Jones, and Joan Sim-
mons. The ATOs at Tech were not to be outdone so they took over
Groover's lake Saturday night for a picnic. Those enjoying the even-
ing were Lib and Letty Grafton, Carolyn Tinklepaugh, Mickey Scott,
Beth Dugan, Helen McGowan, Eleanor Swain, and Gaye Linder.

Harriette Potts, Judy Brown, Judy McDaniel, and Harriett Durham
paid a visit to the Phi Delt house at Tech Saturday night. Several
girls % went to the Sigma Nu house at Tech Saturday night. Those
present were Marian McElroy, Mary Pritchett, and Lois Dryden.

Another Scott gal has sparkles in her eyes as well as on her finger.
She's none other than Keller Henderson who received her ring this,
past week-end. Many congratulations!

Quite a few girls went out (ff town to visit this past week-end.
Diana Butler, Avarilla Caldwell, Ruthie Norton, Carol Jones, Helen
Mutos and Margie Fordham were just a few who made trips. Others
decided to remain at the Sheltering Arms and have visitors of their
own. Some of the hostesses this week-end were Betty Jo McCast-
lain, Shirley Simpson, Zo Anderson, Linda Smith, Rosemary Royster,
Linn Lash, and Virginia Lee Floyd.

This just about winds up the news for this time. After looking in
every nook and corner for news about you gals, I'm relieved to report
that Carol will be back with you next week.

London Gets Wise to Politics,
Gives Hottentots Inside Info

By Jane Landon

Long, long ago all of the animals lived happily together
in the jungle, respecting the lion as king of the beasts, and
eating bananas and things. But one day some trouble started.

The elephant said, "I am the biggest animal in the jungle
I should be king of the beasts.'' But the animals said,
"Elephant, you can't be king for

you can't run as fast as the lion.
You might be caught and put in
the circus, and then we would
have no king."

Then the elephant's best friend,
the donkey, said. "I should be
king I am known for my per-
severance." "To say the LEAST,"
said the animals, "but you can't
be king, you're not as imposing as
the lion."

Then the elephant and the don-
key decided that since their tal-
ents weren't appreciated in the
jungle they would sail over to that
newly discovered continent, Am-
erica, and show the people on
the other side of the world who
was fit to be boss.

The elephant and the donkey
got along fine at first running the
country together. But soon they
started arguing about policies and
things like FEPC (Feed Ele-
phants Plenty of Corn). Elephants
just didn't like corn in those days!
Too, they both wanted to live in a
big beautiful white house in Wash-
ington, but there just wasn't
enough room for Elephant and
Donkey both.

Eventually they decided that

bosses, so Elephant said. "Every-
body likes me, I should be the
leader." Donkey said, "No sir,
the people like me best." That
;ave them an idea.

Each one was sure that he
would be the people's favorite, so
confidently they asked the people
to say who should be king of the
beasts and sure enough, the
people said.

Nowadays, no matter who is the
leader, Elephant or Donkey, ev-
ery four years the other gets rest-
less and stirs up trouble, so the
people have to decide again who
should be president. And that,
my children, is why although they
say it is really a long nose, the
elephant has such a long face to-
day!

' The annual recognition service of Mortar Board was held

Band, Confetti Add
To Demonstrations

By Carolyn Wells

After a day of intense cam-
paigning last Thursday, Oct. 23,
Dwight D. Eisenhower was shown
to be the campus choice to fill
the President's shoes next Jan. 20.
By a vote of 258-213 Ike nosed
ahead of rival Adlai Stevenson, as
90 per cent of the student body
and 59 members of faculty and
staff registered their choices on.

Sponsored by Mortar Board, the
program of the day indicated the

crowd trooped into chapel.

The spirit was heightened by
the rousing music issuing from the
front of the auditorium, where the
Decatur High band, with Miss
Cottie Clark waving the wand,
played the stirring strains of ''Na-
tional Emblem March," "Our Di-
rector," and "Indiana State
Band."

Virginia Claire Hays, chairman
of the Republican demonstration,
marshalled her troops down the
right aisle. Grinning benevolent-
ly down upon the cheering crowd,
mammoth pictures of Eisenhower
and Nixon bobbed above the heads
of the throng as they, coupled
with the familiar brooms that
some of the Ike enthusiasts wield-
ed, told all that the Republicans
are out to "Clean house with Ike
and Dick."

Ike Supporters Sing

Ike fans broke forth into the
strains of their original composi-
tion, sung to the tune of "Here
we sit like birds in the wilder-
ness:" "Ike will lead us out of the
wilderness, on e-lection day."

Brownie Williams led her group
of Adlai-aspirants down the left
aisle amid chants of "We say
Adlai" and scattered snatches of
"Don't Let/Them Take It Away."
Eunice Connally sported a Ste-
venson umbrella which spoke for
itself of the Democratic candid-
ate. Beneath the beaming visages
of Stevenson and Sparkman the
banners broadcast the Democratic
slogans: "We must look forward
to a great tomorrow" and "secur-
ity for you your family your
country."

After the audience sang "Dix-
ie," Carol Lou Jacob, president of
Mortar Board, explained that the
purpose of the mock election rally
was to enable the students eligible
to vote to do so wisely.

She then introduced the Demo-
cratic team, appearing first on the
program as the result of a straw-
drawing. Joanne Miklas, fresh-

Pre-Election Prayer .

For a long time all of us have been thinking about what
will happen on November 4. How thankful wm ought to be
that we live in a country where we can still choose our own
leaders in free elections. The outcome of that day will
have tremendous significance for our own country and for
all. the nations of the world. But what can we on the Agnes
Scott campus do about it?

We can study the issues and the candidates. We can have
our political rallies and straw votes. Some of us can cast
our ballots on that day. But there is also something else of
very great importance that all of us can do we can pray for
the guidance of Almighty God, not only for ourselves but for
all who will be voting.

We believe that God- has blessed our country in the past
and that He is willing to continue that blessing in the future
if we want it. Monday, Nov. 3, the cfay before the elections,
has been designated as a day of prayer for the Agnes Scott
community. The Prayer room on the second floor of Mur-
phey Candler will be open from 7 to 11 p. m.

May we pray that God would lead us to select just those
leaders who will best lead us in the ways of justice and
righteousness and peace through the troubled days that lie
ahead and that God will give each of us the power to carry
out our responsibilities as citizens. Dr. Samuel A. Cartledge.

Crusade Brings Results

The News expresses its sincere appreciation to the fac-
ulty for their prompt and careful consideration of the cam-
pus crusade for a faculty skit this year.

We pledge our full support to the faculty committee and
we hope their plans may be carried out before long. P. S.

American Citizenship Seen
As Precious Heritage to All

By Marji Henderson

We Americans enjoy many pre-
rogatives and liberties which we
are inclined to take for granted.
Herbert Hoover expressed his
awareness of the miracle of Am-
erica when he wrote, "I have had
every honor to which any man
could aspire. There is no place on
the whole earth except here in
America where all the sons of a
man could have this chance in
life.

"Within the soul of America is
the freedom of mind and spirit in
man. Here alone are the open
windows through which pours the
sunlight of the human spirit. Here
alone human dignity is not a
-dream but a major accomplish-
ment."

To live here in America is a
privilege we should all appreciate.
As Phelps Adams said,

"When the stork picked you
up, slung you comfortably from
his bill, and began winging his

way earthward with you, the
chances were 15 to one against
you. You hit the jackpot. You
live in the United States of Am-
erica-"

Letter to Editor

Dear Editor,

Ever since college has opened
this fall. I have noticed with in-
creasing annoyance the amount of
noise in chapel during the organ
prelude. Surely we can appreci-
ate the excellent music played
during this short interval each
morning and show our apprecia-
tion by remaining silent. I feel
that any "visiting" that simply
must be done could and should be
accomplished before we enter the
chapel.

We mention tradition for many
things here at Agnes Scott; si-
lence and attention during the or-
gan prelude has been one of those
traditions in the past and I think
they should continue.

Have you ever sat in the bal-
cony during Convocation? The
sounds rising from the main floor
sound more like bedlam than re-
spect and a receptive attitude for
the approaching program. In fact,
for those of us in the choir who do
sit in the balcony, the organ is
often very nearly drowned out be-
cause of the noise. Is this appro-
priate ?

Sincerely

Barbara West

Frat Adopts Mascot
Named for A.S.C.

By Genny Lucchese

The Agnes Scott Hottentots
now have proof positive of their
influence at Georgia Tech. A
certain organization of young gen-
tlemen at that institution are so
taken with the charms of the
young ladies from Decatur that
when they decided to acquire a
puppy for a mascot, they prompt-
ly named her Aggie.

Miss Aggie, a genuine "three
dollar dawg," and the cream of
the Atlanta Humane society's
crop, has taken the brothers by
storm, and rumor has it that she
is rapidly developing into a party
dog at the age of six weeks.

Rumor also has it that since
Aggie's arrival, more than one
young lady from Scott has def-
initely felt neglected.

When interviewed for the ASC
News Miss Aggie had just return-
ed from her first football game
and was preparing to spend a
quiet evening at home with 15 or
20 of her "guardians." However,
she refused to give a statement
for the press.

Language Group
Meets on Campus

The University Center Lan-
guage association met Friday ev-
ening, Oct. 24, in the Letitia Pate
Evans dining hall. Thirty-one
members attended the meeting
presided over by Dr. Sam M. Shi-
ver of Emory University.

The Agnes Scott members are
active in the group. Dr. Florene
Dunstan. associate professor of
Spanish, is the secretary and Dr.

of Spanish, is the social chairman.

The first speeches of the pro-
gram was given by Professor John
A. Downs, University of Georgia,
on "The Encyclopedia as a Source
for a Knowledge of German Cul-
ture." This paper was based on
research which he had done into
the opinions of French authors on
German culture in the 18th cen-
tury.

The second talk, "Une Semaine
a Montreal," was given by Pro-
fessor Jose Batlle. This had pre-
viously been presented on a regu-
lar program sponsored by the Uni-
versity of Georgia, Atlanta Divi-
sion on WMTV.

Blackfriars To Give
Dramatic Exerpts

Thursday, Nov. 6, the Black-
friars will present a drama appre-
ciation program in Murphey Can-
dler at 7:15 p. m. This program
will take the place of the regular
biweekly meeting. Club members,
speech students, and anyone else
who may be interested are invit-
ed to the informal program of
play-reading, which will last about
an hour.

Play directors and friends of

from memorable plays. Miss
Frances K. Gooch,. retired associ-
ate professor of English at Agnes

About Nothing/'' Shakespeare;
Miss Neva Webb, from "Uncle
Vanya," Chekhov; George Neely,
"Polonaise;" Miss Kay Hocking,

Synge.

Also appearing on the program
will be Miss Mary Nelle Ivey,
presenting tryout material for ra-
dio acting; and Miss Roberta Win-
ter, who will give selections from
"Pride and Prejudice," Austen.
Selections will also be read by
Wendell Brown, William Harp,
and Miss Janet Loring.

Hamilton Reveals Dates

Sarah Crewe Hamilton, ed-
itor of the 1952-1953 Sil-
houette, announced that the

Thursday, Nov. 3 and 6.

The freshmen, sophomores,
and juniors will have their
pictures taken the following
Monday, Tuesday, and Wed-
nesday, Nov. 10, 11, and 12.

Studentship

Here are "Ten Ways to Get
Through College Without Even
Trying," as written in "Pageant"
magazine by Prof. Robert Tyson
of Hunter college:

1. Bring the professor news-
paper clippings dealing with his
subject. If you don't find clip-
pings dealing with his , subject,
bring in clippings at random. He
thinks everything deals with his
subject.

2. Look alert, take notes eager-
ly. If you look at your watch,
don't stare at it unbelievingly and
shake it.

3. Nod frequently and murmur
"How true." To you this seems
exaggerated. To him, it's quite
objective.

4. Sit in front near him. (Ap-
plies only if you intend to stay
awake) . . .

5. Laugh at his joket. You
CAN tell. If he looks up from
his notes and smiles expectantly,
he has told a joke.

6. Ask for outside reading. You
don't have to read it. Just ask.

7. If you must sleep, arrange to
be called at the end of the hour.
It creates an unfavorable impres-
sion if the rest of the class has
left and you sit there alone, doz-
ing.

8. Be sure the book you read dur-
ing the lecture looks like a book
from the course. If you do math
in psychology class and psychol-
ogy in math class, match the
books for size and color.

9. Ask any questions you think
he can answer. Conversely, avoid
announcing that you have found
the answer to a question he
COULDN'T answer, and in your
younger brother's second reader
at that.

10. Call attention to his writing.
Produces an exquisitely pleasant
experience connected with you.
If you know he's written a book
or an article, ask in class if he
wrote it.

Spinning the Patter

ASC Population Hits Low
Ebb for Ga. Tech Festivities

By CAROL JONES

Probably the Saturday population of the Agnes Scott campus
reached an all-time low last weekend as car after car from Tech
pulled up in front of Main to pick up its load of girls who were leav-
ing to enjoy the homecoming festivities there. A quick glance at
the house books proves that Agnes Scotters were well in evidence
at everything from the wreck parade until the last dance at the
Homecoming dance and of course there were lots of girls who went
over Friday afternoon lor the judging of the lawn decorations. A
roll call of those who went would probably save me from writing the
rest of the column, since it would undoubtedly take up all my alloted
space!

A tempting idea, I must admit, but I'll yield not to tempta-
tion; among those who were in on the game and post-game cele-
bration were Jane Nelson, Mary Land, Evelyn Mason, Dorothy
Weakley, Anne Vincent, Vannie Traylor, Eva Newman, Marilyn
Mobley, Jane Johnson, Frances Cook, Donya Dixon, Flo Hand, J&ne
Hook, Belle Miller, Jamie McCoy, Carolyn Alford, Mitzi Kiser, and
just dozens more! It was a rootin', tootin' time, and everyone seem-
ed to be in high spirits when the game was over.

The Emory dental students, not to be outdone by a mere football
game, had quite a party Saturday night also. They had the Inter-
Fraternity Council, dance, which Betsy Hill, Joen Fagan, Jackie Josey,
Betty Stein. Rosalyn Kenneday, Shirley Simpson, Anne Sayre, and
Betsy Hodges attended. Marcia Rosefield, who was visiting Betty
Stein from the University of South Carolina, also went.

Over at the Sigma Chi house at Emory a French Apache party
was in full swing. Bunny Hall, Pannie Cecil, Trudy Awbrey, Ginny
Lee Floyd, Nancy Gay, Helen Moutos, and Donna McGinty were
there. Mary Lindsey and Taffy Merrill went to the Kappa Alpha
party at Emory, and Nancy Ruffner, Jean Drumheller, and Cotton
Williams went to the AKK house.

Lots of girls still insist that there's no place like home, and Marion
Tennant would add, especially when the fleet's in! She went home
to Lancaster for a very special weekend-plus; others who had a taste
of that good old home cookin' were Gaye Linder, Robbie Shelnut,
Eleanor Swain, Clara Adams, Margaret Rogers, Hannah Jackson,
Erline Lide, Jane Davidson, Genny Lucchese, and Catherine Kite.
Liz Craig spent the weekend in Anderson, S. C, with relatives, since
"home" for her is too far away for a weekend trip.

Homecoming seems to be in the air this time of year. Davidson
was also celebrating theirs, and B. J. Schaufele, Louise Robinson,
Mickey Scott, Peggy Bridges, and Beverley Jenson helped them
make it a big weekend.

Carol Tye, Jane Crook. Ellen Griffin, Julie Greer, and Ann Sylves-
ter went out to Norcross Saturday afternoon to a dessert bridge party
for Barbara Hood, whose wedding is to be* Thanksgiving weekend.
And Toots Kwileki had an out-of-town visitor over the weekend.
Thus it is that as this goes to press everyone is enjoying a case of the
Monday Blues not washtub, but book variety. Isn't it too bad
that the weekends aren't five days long and the classdays only two?

As ACP Takes Over Big City

By Joan Simmons

If anyone saw three sleepy girls staggering back to the
campus Monday morning after an overnight train trip
through nine states, they can be identified as juniors Joyce
Munger, Caroline Reinero, and Joan Simmons. These three
assistant editors of the Agnes Scott News were returning
from the annual ACP conference i

Met Tenor To Sing
Tonight in Presser

The Decatur Junior Service
league will present Eugene Con-
ley, tenor, of the Metropolitan
opera, in recital at 8:30 p. m.
Wednesday in Presser Hall. Tick-
ets will be available at the door.

The program will include arias
from Handel's "Samele" and "Ju-
das Maccabaeus;" "Don Giovan-
ni," Mozart; Puccini's "La Tosca"
and "La Boheme," and Verdi's
"Rigoletto," and groups of art
songs.

Marcel Frank will accompany
Mr. Conley.

in New York City.

The ACP is the Associated Col-
lege Press to which our campus
paper belongs. It was first a part
of the National Scholastic Press
association for high school papers
but soon outgrew the parent asso-
ciation, so a new organization was
formed.

The ACP's main function is its
critical service which twice year-
ly rates all member papers. The
Agnes Scott News received a first
class rating this past year.

The purpose of the national con-
ference was for college press
members, all over the country to
exchange viewpoints and ideas and
receive expert aid on local prob-
lems. College newspapers, maga-
zines, and yearbooks were repre-
sented. The total number at-
tending was 594 with 38 states
represented.

One of the most enjoyable ex-
periences, we agreed, was hearing
John Scott, an editor of "Time"
magazine speak on communist in-
filtration of Europe. Another
treat was hearing Marybeth Lit-
tle ( college board editor for "Ma-
demoiselle" and Agnes Scott al-
umna) speak on the possibilities
for jobs in journalism.

The current presidential cam-
paign was brought into the lime-
light at the convention. Accord-
ing to a recent ACP poll Eisen-
hower has taken a lead at a ma-
jority of the colleges. The col-
lege editors themselves were lean-
ing toward Stevenson.

Joyce and I wore our Adlai
buttons throughout the confer-
ence and received almost as much
kidding on that subject as we did
about our southern drawls. Caro-
line, unfortunately, left Ike at

Since New York is noted for
other things besides conventions,
we managed to snatch a little time
away from meetings to see the
fabulous city. Naturally the first
thing we did was to walk down
Filth Avenue peering in shop win-
dows and hoping no one would be
able to tell by our craning necks
and open mouths that we were not

other touches in the room. The
judges, Mrs. Annie Mae F. Smith,

pecially noticed the note on the
wall testifying to the fact that a
Lewis collection print would soon
be hung in that spot.

A. A. Announces
Fireplace Is Ready

It's here, folks, and it works
the fireplace, we mean! The AA
board and some especially-invited
friends tried it out Monday night
and all agreed that a great need
has been filled on campus.

Now that everything is on the
track, the board would like to ex-
tend an invitation to all organiza-
tions and student groups, official
and otherwise, to use the fireplace
any time that they want to.

All you have to do is to see
President Ann Baxter to reserve
the date. There are some remod-
eled coathangers for use with hot-
dogs, but you will have to bring
your own charaoal. All AA asks
is that you clean up afterwards.

We hope to see the fireplace be-
ing used often this fall it real-
ly is lots of fun. Just ask Dr. Al-
ston about his steak fry.

A. S. Campus Picks Eisenhower

(Continued from page 1)

man from Tampa, Fla., introduced
James Mackay, DeKalb county
lawyer, who spoke on behalf of
Stevenson.

Hailing Adlai as "the next pres-
ident of the United States," Mr.
Mackay, "competing with an en-,
thusiastic New Year's horn, stated
that "the Democratic party has
understood a need for change and
applied that change within itself
at the right times."

He cited the fact that under
the Democratic party the nation
was "led to victory over tyranny,
and later went on to help develop
the United Nations, which, though
still in its infancy, is certainly a
promising organization." Mr.
Mackay's use of humor and sim-
ple, clear-cut terms drew a thun-
dering ovation from the Demo-
cratic half of the packed audito-
rium.

Priscilla Sheppard introduced
the Republican speaker, Gen. Tut-
tle, as a man who "even in the
shadow of Talmadge's statue" has
fought for the two-party system
in Georgia and as one of the prin-

each canddiate.

The C. A. sponsored a highly
successful States banquet Wed-
nesday night. Amid shouts of "I
say Adlai" and "I like Ike," and
even "we want Wally," and "Po-
sey for President," States songs
echoed from table to table. And
an overwhelming feeling of grati-
tude and thanksgiving for this
land of ours welled in the hearts
of all as the foreign students rose
to sing "America, the Beautiful."

Later that night the Democrats
and Republicans trooped over
campus, shouting themselves
hoarse for their respective can-
didates.

Two important things were def-
initely settled by the rally and
vote: the first, that the students
of Agnes Scott, definitely politic-
ally-minded, have proved that the
two-party system is on the *way
in down South. And second, that
the success of the demonstration
was without a doubt overwhelm-
ing. Carefully planned and en-
gineered, Mock Election day re-
flected the enormous amount of

ing on our campus.

The News, speaking for the
campus, gives especial thanks to
Carol Jacob, Mortar Board presi-
dent, for overseeing all arrange-
ments on Mock Election day, and
to Mary Ann Garrard, who was in
charge of the CA States dinner.

cipal leaders who have taken j continuity and enthusiasim exist-
Georgia and the South out of the
Democratic "sure" column next
month.

Gen. Tuttle, an Atlanta lawyer
and chairman of the Georgia Re-
publican party, showed a remark-
able ability to turn some of Mr.
Mackay's points into favorable
Republican statements.

In reference to the Nixon fund
which Mr. Mackay mentioned,
Gen. Tuttle pointed out that little
has been said of the fact that the
largest amount of Stevenson's
$18,000 private fund went to pay
the Governor's press agent who
promoted his campaign. Hef er-
ring to the Democratic sign stat-
ing "Republicans, this is Georgia,
not Maine," he declared that
"what's good for Maine is good
for Georgia, since we are all mem-
bers of the same commonwealth."

Showers of confetti and thun-
derous applause hailed Mr. Tut-
tle's speech as highly satisfactory
to the Ike enthusiasts. The au-
dience rose to sing unitedly the
National Anthem, symbolizing the
dominant unity of Americans over
and above the differences of po-
litical opinions.

The tremendous spirit exhibited
at the rally and the consequent
voting had been building up on
campus for weeks. V. C. Hays
sported an unusual affair that al-
ternately displayed "I like Ike"
and pictured that gentleman ac-
cording to the refraction of light
on it. Ann Baxter, to be differ-
ent, produced a N. C. button urg-
ing "Bailey for Congress." Mrs.
Sims and Miss "Shep" kept their
favorites strict secrets by wear-
ing a collection of buttons for

Sophs, Frosh Upset \ Sophs Make Plans

Hockey Games

By Betty Stein

The sophomores and the fresh-
men emerged triumphant from
the second game of the hockey
season as the former downed their
sister class, the seniors, 3-0, and
the frosh beat the juniors, 1-0.

The first tilt ended scoreless
with the teams seeming evenly
matched. The sophs caught their
second wind, however, and left
the spectators breathless by scor-
ing three goals in the early part
of the second half.

The seniors failed to score al-
though aided by the fine playing
of Mary Beth Robinson, Virginia
Corry, and Frances Cook. At the
game's end the score-keeper's
book read sophs 3, seniors 0. Par-
ticularly outstanding playing for
the victors was done by Libby
Wilson, Julia Beeman, and Molly
Prichard.

The frosh displayed excellent
teamwork and aided by the short-
age of players on the junior team,
they scored the one goal at the
end of the first half that wrapped
up the game for them. Dominat-
ing the ball throughout the bout,
Joanne Miklas, Nancy Thomas,
and Barbara Battle showed great
promise of hockey prowess.

Although the juniors, in a last
exciting rally, attempted to tie
up the game by scoring, the ball
fell wide of the goal, and the
frosh won 1-0. Defensive stars
for the latter were Jackie Josey,
Katherine Matthews, and Nancy
Lee.

The referees who did an excel-
lent job of calling the misplays
were Mrs. B. Lombardy and Mrs.
Stratton Story.

AGNES SCOTT STUDENTS
WELCOME TO BROWSE

To Win Spiirt Race

The sophomore class is out to
win the spirit cup, officers con-
fided last week. Things really
began popping with the arrival
of the '55 black and gold caps
with gold pompoms on the top.
These and the class flag helped
them to make a colorful showing
at the hockey game last Friday.

The flag has the class motto,
"Ad Astra per Aspera" (to the
stars through difficulty) on the
bottom and silhouettes of two
girls looking up at the stars. The
flag is placed on two sticks so
that cheerleaders, Kitten Cumbie
and Trudy Awbry, can carry it
to the games.

Another symbol the class has
chosen to boost morale is the
"Spirit of the Sophomores"
Indian Chief Yatilyich. He led
the class out on the hockey field
doing the victory dance and chant,
and has been chosen as their guid-
ing spirit during the entire year.

Art Club

The Art department is planning
to start an Art club here on cam-
pus in the near future. Jane
Dalhouse is in charge of this proj-
ect. The purpose of the club will
be to foster higher appreciation

With two weeks remaining in the 1952 hockey season, the
battle has shaped itself into a struggle between the fresh-
men and sophomores for the coveted "Queen Hockey" title.
Last Friday the sophomores took a big step toward that title
by severely trouncing their arch opponents, the freshmen,
4-0.

In the initial game the senior
team registered their first victory
for the season, overcoming the
juniors 2-0. On Oct. 31, the sen-
iors dropped their second consecu-
tive tilt to the strong sophs, 1-0;
the freshmen and juniors fought
to a 1-1 deadlock.

Driving down field with deter-
mination after a scoreless first
half, the seniors tallied quickly in
the second half, Mary Beth Rob-
inson giving the final touch to
the beautiful downfield drive.
From the following bully the sen-
iors flashed back to the striking
circle on a series of efficient
passes among Frances Cook, Mary-
Ann Wyatt. and Mary Beth Rob-
inson. Ann Baxter and Belle Mil-
ler pushed the ball over the line
for the second score and the sen-
ior cheering section went wild.

The juniors threatened serious-
ly several times throughout the
game. Nancy Lee and Judy Prom-
nitz charging the goalie time and
again. V. C. Hays and Frances
Blakeney drove the ball out of
danger on several crucial occa-
sions. Anne Thomson blocked the

cage gate very well as the desper-
ate juniors strove to score in
vain.

Special interest rested in the
second game of the day. The two
leading contenders for the hockey
championship, first-place sopho-
mores and second-place freshmen,
took the field shivering with the
cold but with determination to
win in every face.

Sweeping toward the freshman
goal, the sophs scored against bit-
ter opposition in the last of the
first half. Mary Evelyn Knight
scooped the ball into the cage
amid a scramble of sticks and
feet to give the sophs the lead
they never relinquished.

With both teams displaying ex-
cellent hookey, the backfield sec-
tions played especially well the
first half; Julia Beeman and Sally
Legg stemmed the freshman tide,
sending the flow to rush and
break against the strong sticks of
Louisa Allen and Betty Richard-
son.

The second half was decidedly
soph-dominated, as, fired by the

Figures in First Balloting

Millsfield, N. H, the first town
in the nation to vote on election
day, gave Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hower eight votes and Gov. Adlai
Stevenson none. Seven voters in
the tiny north country village cast
their votes in the rays of a kero-
sene lamp, and the eighth vote
was cast by Mrs. Rosa L. Cilley
by absentee ballot.

Sour Grapes Told You So'

The decision has been made. It has been made by the
highest authority of all . . . the American people. Issues
were weighed, men contrasted, and a choice was made. It
became evident even as the early returns were broadcast
that the White House occupants for the next four years
would be the smiling general and his friendly wife.

Many people were surprised at the landslide vote for Ike.
Most predictions prophesied a close margin of victory. Ste-
vensonites were stunned when only nine states remained
in the Democratic corral.

It seems that in many places an aftermath of bitterness
prevails. Too many dire predictions are being made and
too much rationalizing is being done about why Stevenson
lost. And too many Ike supporters have that "I told you so"
attitude.

The time has certainly passed for all this. We should look
ahead and not backwards. Now is the time for unity and co-
operation, not hard feelings and dissention. We should fol-
low the fine example set for us by President Truman and
General Eisenhower, who have put aside the antagonism of
the campaign to work side by side during the remainder of
the incumbent's term to achieve a harmonious continuity in
our governmental procedure. J. S.

Election System Changes

As a service to the campus, the News publishes below the resolu-
tion concerning the proposed changes in the campus election system.
This measure will be voted upon in winter quarter.

1. In order to save time used in run-off elections, prevent minority
selections possible under plurality voting, and in order to use a bal-
lot which can be tallied with satisfactory speed, the Committee on
Elections suggests that the Alternative Vote system replace the
single-Choice Plurality system now in use.

How it works: (1) The voter rates all of the candidates in order
of her preference by placing a "1" before her first choice, a "2" be-
fore her second choice and a "3" before her third, and so on.

(2) After the ballots are marked, the first step in the counting
process consists of separating all the ballots into different piles ac-
cording to the first choices for each candidate. If some candidate
for an office has a simple majority (50 per cent plus 1) of the first
choice votes, she is immediately elected, and the counting is ended.

(3) However, if no candidate has a simple majority, the candidate
with the lowest number of first choices is dropped. Her ballots
are then transferred to those candidates who are marked as second
choice thereon. If this transfer (similar in effect to a run-off elec-
tion) does not result in some candidates' obtaining a majority, the
process of eliminating the lowest candidate is continued until some-
one receives a majority vote.

H. The Committee on Elections believes that the majority of vot-
ers do not realize the qualifications necessary for publication staff
members or know who adequately fulfills these qualifications. Also,
the committee believes that there is too much time spent in elect-
ing these persons. The committee suggests that a Publications
board consisting of the old and new elected senior officers of the
three major campus publications: "Silhouette," "Aurora," and the
Agnes Scott News meet after spring elections for the purpose of
appointing their staffs. The editor of the News shall be the chair-
man of this board.

Procedure: The following officers of publications will be "elected
by the student body as in the past: "Aurora:" editor and business
manager; "Silhouette:" editor, associate editor, and business manager;
Agnes Scott News: editor, managing editor, and business manager.

In order to provide a more adequate and efficient election system,
the Committee on Elections resolves that the alternative vote system
replace the single-choice plurality system now in use, and that a
publications board be organized.

Election Reactions

By Joyce Munger

A poll of after-election reac-
tions is rather anticlimactic, but it
may be interesting to see how a
cross-section of the campus feels
about the sweeping Republican
victory.

C. Benton Kline, Jr.. assistant
professor of philosophy, says, "I'm
disappointed, but I don't think
the country will necessarily fall
to pieces because the Republicans
got in. I'm encouraged by the
results of the congressional elec-
tions because these will keep the
Republicans on a middle course."

Dr. Walter Bro willow Posey,
professor of history and political
science, is very pleased at this
"protest against Trumanism." He
says, however, that he "couldn't
take another election this week."

Dr. Catherine S. Sims, associate
professor of history and political
science, is very "glad the election
was a decisive one, one way or
the other. I hope the country
will follow the tone set by the last
speeches of the candidates."

Dr. George P. Hayes, professor
of English, speaking of Stevenson
as a man, says, "I'm rather glad
Stevenson doesn't have to take all
the tension and strain incumbent
upon that office. Eisenhower is
better fitted to stand that strain,
since his personality is a simpler,
tougher, and less sensitive sort."

Senior Ann Cooper is "glad the
Democrats are out of the White
House. After 20 years with all
the supporters of Roosevelt and
Truman still in Washington, we
need to get those people out. It
should not make too much differ-
ence who is in that office, either
in foreign or domestic issues, but
the Republicans can't do any
worse."

Senior Pris Sheppard thinks
that "the election results show a
remarkable personal victory for
Gen. Eisenhower and a real step
toward a two-party system in the
South. I also think the overly-
timid pollsters who were afraid
to predict a Republican victory
had better shut up shop."

Senior Bertie Bond thinks "our
country has missed electing one
of the greatest intellects of our
time."

Junior Marian McElroy says,
"My .faith in the ability of the
American people to view issues
clearly has been renewed."

Junior Jane Zuber says, "It's a
shame that the American leader-
ship has to lower itself to fit the
masses rather than educate the
people to recognize high intellec-
tual ability. I'm sorry the Amer-
ican people couldn't comprehend
Stevenson."

Junior Nancy Lee, although a
Democrat, was pleased "to see so
many Republicans in the South,
because the South needs a two-

No one on campus was un-
moved by the election results
last week, but we're wonder-
ing if you heard the one about
the disillusioned young Dem-
ocrat. Looking up at the sky

Why Be A Brain?' Says Jane;
Just Keep That Curve Curving

By Jane Landon

Flash! News from the outer realms of space graduate
school! Caroline Crea, who is working hard (or hardly
working) this winter at Cambridge, sent me the scoop on a
brand new game called QUIZMANSHIP. Seems that it is
quite the rage up Nawth with all the Harvard men. (For
the benefit of freshmen, Caroline
was graduated., from A. S. C. last
June.)

Quizmanship is a subtle art, in-
volving the principle of "Keep the
Class Average Low at All Costs."
To do this requires genius, the
program involving both positive
and negative aspects. Positively
speaking, you have to keep the
dullards in the class. THEY MUST
NOT FLUNK OUT. (You see
what the consequences would be,
no?) This may involve the con-
siderable sacrifice of your study-
ing enough yourself to tutor them,
but it's worth it!

Then, negatively speaking, work
like a house afire to keep the
bright students from studying.
This would be enjoyable if so
much did not depend upon it.

The commonest method of dis-
tracting these genii is to give a
party and invite them, preferably
on the night before a quiz. Or if
your finances can stand it, each of
the several nights preceeding the
big day. This way you can have
fun, too, and not worry about not
studying you know that no one
else is, either.

But there are variations on this
theme. One is to sneak out of |l_ rc Am m itfroo
the party after you have gotten nOnOlS ^OmmllTe
it rolling, and study a bit your- QninncnrC Pnffpp
self. This is a low, scummy trick, ^POnSOrS ^OlTee

The Committee on the Honors
Program sponsored a coffee in
honor of the students in the pro-
gram Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 4 p. m.
in the private dining room. Dr.
Catherine Sims was in charge.
The purpose of the coffee was to
give the members of the commit-
tee and the instructors directing
the program an opportunity to
meet the students as a group.

Special guests were President
Wallace M. Alston, President
Emeritus James R. McCain, and
Mrs. Byers, librarian.

party system."

Freshman Joanne Miklas be-
lieves that "the people in making
their choice have passed up one
of the greatest political brains of
the century."

All these statements are typical
of the reactions of members of
the two parties. The statement
which probably best illustrates
the feelings of all, however, is
that of Senior Carol Lou Jacob,
who, when asked for a statement,
simply sighed, "I'm tired."

only to be used if absolutely nec-
essary.

Another trick is practicable to
be used when a group of the
bright students decide to review
for an exam. Here you really
grow diabolical. Make up a prob-
lem that you are sure no one can
solve, and take it in to them for
"a little help on this, please."
They, in their superior way, will
be "glad to advise." Then, when
they are really wrapped up in it,
and dare not admit defeat, you
can fold your tents and silently
steal away.

For exams it is possible to work
out a cooperative arrangement
with friends not in your own field
Get them to sit in on your exams,
leaving them hours early, so that
the bright boys will worry, think-
ing, "Well, is it that easy?" Also,
if you are not prepared the most
fully yourself, what can you lose
by leaving early yourself and real-
ly scaring them?

This, in brief, is quizmanship.
Take it for what it is worth
it's lovely to see how the intellec-
tual half lives, nest ce pas?

Spinning the Patter

Hottentots Head Far Afield
As Tech Routs Army Mule

By CAROL JONES

Seen over a welcome cup of steaming coffee during a break in
studies, the weekend of November 8-9 seems to have gotten lost in
the rush or maybe it was just my mind. But so much was happen-
ing that I hardly know where to start or what to include in my dis-
course on the activities of the Agnes Scott social butterflies. I think
a few of them really "espied circumference and caught a ride with
him," since we had so many wanderers from the fold. However,
this is not to be taken as a "monition to entomology," but as a sci-
entific (?) statement of fact with due apologies to Miss Dickinson.

The Army invaded the South for the first time in 87 years, so they
tell us, but the results this time will not be remembered as bitterly
as they were last time, I'm sure, though they might be remembered
as long. A whole cloud of fluttering specimens watched their broth-
er (entomologically, of course) Yellow Jackets sting the Army mule
into a quick retreat. (Donkeys seem to be out of style this year, no
matter how you look at it.) Jean Drumheller, Marty Duval, Ann
Potts, Memye Curtis, Mitzi Riser, Frances Sistar. Mabel Milton,
Linda Gunther, and Mary Ann Garrard were among the large group
who cheered the Jackets on to victory.

Over at Emory two big dances claimed the limelight for the week-
end. The Military ball, which was attended by Liz Craig, Jan Var-
ner, Bunny Hall, Peggy Bridges, Joanne Adair, Betty Reiney, Mary
Land, Hannah Jackson, Memye Curtis, and Sally Wilt, was some
hop; so was the Medical school dance, according to Betty Stein,
Eleanor Hutchinson, Jane Landon, Nancy Ruffner, Gwen McLeroy,
Adaline Miller, and Taffy Merrill.

Frosh Party

Here on the Agnes Scott campus things were far from dull. Ath-
letic association's freshman party was a whing-dinger of a success,
from all indications. More than 30 freshmen enjoyed a picnic sup-
per in Murphey Candler, square dancing in the gym, apple cider and
doughnuts, and dates!

Our out-of-towners this week managed to do a pretty good job of
covering the Southeast Conference schools. Addie Steans, Gail Rog-
ers, Ginnie Lee Floyd, Carol Tye, Nancy Gay, and Jane Dalhouse
went to the Sigma Chi derby at the University of Georgia.
Jo Ann Barrett, Barbara Wynns, Pat Tooley, Lib Flynn, and Harri-
ette Mitchell went to Clemson, and Joanne McCarthy was a sponsor
at the Citadel homecoming game. Libby Wilson saw the University
of North Carolina homecoming, and Joen Fagan, B. J. McCastlain,
Joan Simmons, and Gracie Greer went to the University of Alabama
for the debate contest.

Since the last issue of the News Doris Clingman and Deppie Math-
eson have both received diamonds, and Sara Swanson will soon be
returning as Mrs. Gary van Schoick. She was married in Erwin,
N. C, Sunday, Nov. 2.

In closing I'd like to issue an invitation to all good spinsters to
join the rapidly-growing Main Knitting club. We are offering Knit-
ting 105 (hours to be arranged) this quarter, and will probably soon
be filled, so you'd better hurry!

Kline Tells Seniors
Of Responsibilities

Declaring that life is charac-
terized by various levels of re-
sponse, C. Benton Kline, assist-
ant professor of philosophy, de-
livered the Investiture address
Saturday, Nov. 1.

'Mr. Kline said that at the level
of interpretation the "therefore"
that belongs to response becomes
the "therefore" of responsibility.
He outlined three aspects in this
life of responsibility: response to
life's depth rather than its super-
ficiality, response to life's whole-
ness and not its partiality, and re-
sponse to life's unity rather than
its multiplicity.

In conclusion Mr. Kline stated
that the life of responsibility is
the life of response to God's ac-
tivity.

ing Presbyterian minister, deliv-
ered the Investiture sermon Sun-
day, Nov. 2, on "The Validity of
Sentiment."

Alumnae to Join Cast Gym Shorts Sophs Beat Frosh
Of Blackfrairs* Play

By Lilla Kate Parramore

In presenting 'Take Two From One" at 8:30 p. m. on
Nov. 20 in Presser Hall, Blackfriars is fortunate to have
some "outsiders" in the cast.

Because of the many women roles several alumnae will
take part in the play. Mrs. Ovid Davis, the former Ruby

R,osser, will play Miss Turner, an , '

English woman. Mrs. Davis re-
ceived the Agnes Scott Bennett
trophy in 1943 for outstanding
acting. She now resides in Atlan-
ta.

Mrs. Sam Webb, nee Neva Jack-
son, will take the part of Juliana.
Mrs. Webb was a member of the
class of 1942. She also received
the Bennett trophy. Many will
remember . Mrs. Webb for her
work in the speech department
while Miss Winter was on leave of
absence.

A third alumna to be in the play
is Mrs. Olin Rogers, formerly
Mary Sayward. She will take the
part of Dona Dolores. Mrs. Rog-
ers graduated in the class of 1928
and is presently connected with
the Decatur Red Cross.

Another of the women's roles is
played by Mrs. Richard Hocking,
wife of an Emory professor. Last
year she was the director of the
successful, "'Mad Woman of Chail-
lot."

Two of the male parts are play-
ed by Emory students, Charles
Wood, a freshman from Atlanta,
will play the lead, Faustino. Faus-
tino's brother-in-law, Milano, will
be played by Dave Booth, a senior
at Emory from Bridgeport, Conn.

One of the most fascinating
"outsiders" to be in the play is
Mr. Michael Fellows. Mr. Fel-
lows, who is a native of England,
is with the British Consolate in
Atlanta. He will take the part of
Mr. Turner, an Englishman.

Mr. Sidney Owen will portray
Don Francisco, the father of Faus-
tino. He is well-known in Atlan-
ta for his work with the Atlanta
Theatre Guild. Recently he di-
rected and played the part of the
judge in "Night of January 16."

Two brothers are also in the
cast. Tom McCall of the State
Welfare department, will play
Mario, while his brother, John,
will be a ship officer.

per in Murphey Candler at 7 p.
m. At 8 o'clock there was a square
darice in the gym. The dances
were called by Jack Morris of At-
lanta.

During the intermission a pro-
gram was provided by some of
the students. Vallie Burnet and
Lynn Johnson gave one of their
pantomimes; Legrande Smith and
Nancy Clark sang. JoAnne Hall
and Connie Currie added to the
entertainment with a dialogue.

Following the dance, everyone
returned to Murphey Candler for
refreshments and a sing around
the open fireplace. The sing was
led by Betty Stein.

Number 7

Senior Team Splashes Sophs
To Take First Place in Meet

The strong senior swimming team splashed their way to a
close victory in the swimming meet last Wednesday night.
Netting 46 points, they barely squeezed by the sophs, with
43 points. The freshmen scored 32 points, and the juniors,
27 points. Taking an early lead in the first half of the meet
with three first place wins, the
seniors lost ground to the surging
sophs in the second half, but they
regained the lead in the last thrill-
ing event.

Copping four firsts in all, the
seniors were paced by strong
swimmers Sarah Crewe Hamilton,
Margie Thomason, and Lilla Kate
Parramore. The sophomore
strength, registering two consecu-
tive firsts at the opening of the
second period, rode principally
upon the strong strokes of Mary
Land, Jane Gaines, and Jane Da-
vidson.

Hanna Wins Honors

Katherine Hanna, freshman,
displayed excellent form to walk
away with first place honors in
the diving field. Katherine and
Louise Harley were the outstand-
ing members of the frosh team.
During the intermission Elaine
Fladger and Jo Holland, two De-
catur swimmers, demonstrated for
the crowd their magnificent rac-
ing strokes which have propelled
them to so many acquatic victo-
ries. The jpuge crowd and deaf-
ening cheers testified ' that the
meet was a huge success.

Mrs. Blanche Bevins of the
American Red Cross, Mrs. Betsy
Green, of the Atlanta Recreation
department, and Mrs. Jean Lom-
bardy, the hockey referee, were
the first, second and third place
judges respectively.

ginia, life preservers, and other
needed props. Meanwhile Chor Gee
Goh has -been rummaging through
people's closets looking for cos-
tumes.

The stage committee has really
put forth some backbreaking la-
bor. Under the direction of Miss
Janet Loring, instructor of speech,
they have built and painted two
lovely sets. Also they have been
working with ringing bells
and turning lights off and on at
the right moment to produce the

up the trees on Dec. 16. After-
wards the girls will be guests of
the hospital for lunch.

Meeting To Stress
CollegeCooperation

Trustees and the Campus

For a long time students, faculty, and trustees alike have
expressed concern about the relationship of the board of
trustees to the campus. Too few students knew the trustees
or understood their functions concerning the school. Even
the faculty felt a lack of unity.

Tomorrow the first step toward correcting this situation
will be taken. At 4 p. m. there will be a joint meeting of
faculty and trustees for the purpose of becoming better ac-
quainted. The trustees will then attend a dinner and the
Blackfriars' play. In such activities as this it is hoped that
there will be a better understanding of mutual problems.

The trustees will be on our campus frequently this year.
We hope that the students will become acquainted with
them in this way.

In addition, the Agnes Scott News begins this week a ser-
ies of pictures and personality sketches of the trustees for
the purpose of making the campus better acquainted with
those who make Agnes Scott possible. J. M.

'About This Time'

Last Wednesday in convocation Dr. Alston, who has a gift
for choosing just the right words at the most appropriate
moment, gave what we consider the best talk we have ever
heard on a very difficult topic morale. More than a few
students particularly sophomores referring to his remarks
about the "sophomore slump" were heard to say, "I'm
sure he must have been in on all our conversations. "

Borrowing Dr. Alston's title, "about this time" we'd like
to take this opportunity to bestow a well-deserved pat on the
back to a group of people who have a great deal to do with
molding college morale. Surely the dining hall dietitians
and staff have a real opportunity three times a day to boost
or lower tne campus' mental state.

Mrs. Hatfield and her co-workers have kept their fingers
on their clients' pulse, particularly through the use of the
suggestions requested and received. We believe we speak
for the campus when we publicly thank them for their in-
terest and their most successful efforts to maintain high
morale. P S.

'56 Club To Lead
Meditation Service

Fifty-six club will have charge
of Thanksgiving vespers Sunday

selor for '56 club, announced that
the club has two other projects
for the quarter. A group is to go to
the County Home for old people
on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 23,

George Winship, Chairman of the Board of Trustees

AS Board Chairman
lis Community Leader

A friendly nature and a booming laugh are the outstand-
ing characteristics of George Winship, chairman of Agnes
Scott's board of trustees.

Mr. Winship, president of the Fulton Supply company, dis-
tributors of industrial supplies and machinery, is a noted
leader in community activities.

is fond of fishing and when he
takes one of his rare vacations,
he likes to go to Florida.

Educated in the public schools
of Atlanta. 'Mr. Winship also at-
tended Emory College at Oxford
and the Georgia Institute of Tech-
nology. He is a director of the
Continental Gin company, the
Fulton National bank, and the
Atlanta Gas Light company. He
is a past president and director
of the Atlanta Community Chest,
a director of the Atlanta chapter
of the American Red Cross, a di-
rector, trustee, and past presi-
dent of the Atlanta YMCA, and
chairman of the Georgia Tech
YMCA.

Aside firom his interest in Agnes
Scott, he is a trustee of the Ber-
ry schools in Rome, Ga., and of
the Rabun Gap-Nacoochee school.

He is a member and past presi-
dent of the Rotary club of Atlan-
ta, a past president of the South-
ern Industrial Distributors asso-
ciation, a member of the Indus-
trial Advisory committee of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta,
a trustee of the John Bulow
Campbell foundation, and an el-
der in the Central Presbyterian
church.

The fifth chairman of the board
of trustees in Agnes Scott's 63-
year history, Mr. Winship came to
the Agnes Scott board in 1935.
At that time the college was
struggling to raise $150,000 in or-
der to receive a larger amount
from the General Education
Board. A leader was needed for
this difficult campaign, and Board
Chairman J. K. Orr suggested
Mr. Winship. Under Mr. Win-
ship's direction, the campaign was
a great success; he has been of-
ficial chairman of all the succeed-
ing campaigns which have been
characterized by similar success.

In 1938 Mr. Winship followed
Mr. Oit as chairman of the board.
Under Mr. Winship Agnes Scott
has made vast progress. He has
acted as chairman of the board's
financial committee, the most
time-consuming job on the board,
and has served as an "ex officio"
member of all other committees.

Mr. Winship is married to Em-
ily Irby, a writer, and has a daugh-
ter and a son, both married. He

Spinning the Patter

Royal Ball Turns Collegiate
As Cotillion Fetes Freshmen

By CAROL JONES

When it's a whole 24 'hours after a big event and you're sitting
propped up on one hand chewing the end of a much-chewed pencil
and looking at the passing parade of fellow dormitory occupants
who are astonishingly unglamourous in tommy coats and curlers (and
who are in turn looking at' the astonishingly unglamourous ^ou),
trying to invoke the inspiration of some heavenly muse to aid you in
preparing tomorrow's work (or in getting that column in by the dead-
line), do you sometimes wonder what gives life such a chameleon-
like aspect? Take, for example, the contrast between the glaring
reality of Sunday night and the romantic world of Saturday night.
It only happens in "Cinderella?" Every students knows otherwise
biit at Agnes Scott the stroke of 12 brings not a magical change from
riches to rags but a three-day campus!

However, the Cotillion "Fall Leaves" formal Saturday bore quite a
resemblance to the royal ball of fairy-tale fame, in a modern, colleg-
iate way, aind minus glass slippers and miracles. The freshmen were
feted in a memorable way, amid the flurry of leaves in all the bril-
liant fall shades and the glimmer of colored spotlights. The orches-
tra provided smooth, mellow dance music, and the very excitement
of the occasion provided an air tingling with expectation an ex-
pectation of fun and fond memories which was fulfilled to the ulti-
mate for most of the girls who were there.

The football game, which ended in a strangely baseballish score,
much to the surprise of a great many spectators, drew a slew of Scot-
ties away from the Sheltering- Arms Saturday. Some of the ones we
were able to spot through the snow (on the TV set) were Carolyn
Tinklepaugh, Connie Ormsby, Alice Thornton, Margie Martin, Mar-
garet Griffith, and- Betty Ponder. With the aid of a spyglass we could
have picked out several dozen more, but without one the fog in the
receiver (and we hesitate to say which receiver was it the TV
set or you-know-who ? ) got the best of a certain poor struggling writ-
er. We did see Shirley Hurt, who was a sponsor for the game, though.

After the game the Naval ROTC had a formal in the Tech gym
which Jean Heisley, Sarah Crewe Hamilton, Nancy Lee, Alberta
Jackson, Catherine Kite, Jean Levie, Joan Pruitt, Pat Kent, Carol
Miller, and Martha Dickert attended. The Rhythmaires played, pol-
ished brass gleamed, rings flashed (the Tech class rings, which were
featured in the lead-off), and top Navy Brass lent an impressive gra-
ciousness to the affair.

Out of town last weekend, Sue Purdom went home to Guilford,
N. C, Virginia Claire Hays and Donna Dugger went to Moultrie to
visit V. C.'s family, Louise Ross spent the weekend at F. S/U., Talla-
hassee, Fla., and Adaline Miller went home to Savannah.

Having fallen by the wayside last week, I wish to correct my mis-
take in reporting incorrectly the sponsor of the Citadel homecoming.
It was Mary Ann Pearlstine, and I hope that both Mary Ann and
Joanne McCarthy, whose name appeared instead, will forgive the
error. And now I've got to go to fill up the groove I beat into the
floor between my room and the telephone as I attempted to verify,
piece by piece, everything that appears in this column. If there be
error, and upon me proved, in this week's product, I never should
have writ!

Students List Ideas
For Quieter Chapel

Since the introduction of the
Wednesday convocation period the
noise and confusion prevalent dur-
ing the organ prelule have been
widely discussed problems. When
questioned, a number of students
offered suggestions on how to deal
with the situation.

Chizuko Yoshimura, junior,
stressed the idea that the period
should be quiet just as the other
chapel periods are and that stu-
dents should realize that this time,
too, has been set aside for med-
itation. "The first on^s coming in
should try to be quiet to set a good
example for the others."

Ann (Texas) Jones, senior,
thought that the organ prelude
should not begin until 10:30 or a
few minutes before. "If everybody
had a few minutes to talk maybe
they would be ready to quiet down
when the music started."

Emmie ftay, freshman, suggest-
ed that "plants" in the audience
would help. "A few interested
people could suggest to those
around them that a reflective
rnood was in order and could per-
haps set off a chain reaction.
Sometimes people only need to be
reminded."

Caroline Lester, junior, and Con-
nie Byrd, senior, both recommend-
ed posters to remind students that
they were entering a worship
service. They suggested using
those erected last year which
read, "If you must whisper, whis-
per a prayer."

Sophs Head for Title;
Juniors Topple Frosh

By Carolyn Wells

The sophomores unofficially became the proud possessors
of the "Queen Hockey" title last Friday, as there is no pos-
sible way that any of the other teams can overcome the soph
steamroller this season. Ironically, the sophs have the juniors
to thank for it. After fighting the seniors to a scoreless dead-
lock, a majority of the sophomore

team remained to witness the
outcome of the second skirmish,
which had so important a bearing
on the sophomore status.

Paced by Julie Gorier and Nancy
Lee, the juniors toppled the fresh-
man team from 2nd place by
beating them 1-0. This victory as-
sured the sophomores of first
place and elevated the seniors to
second place.

The records thus far reveal:
the sophomores have won three
games and tied two for first place;
the seniors have won one game,
lost one, and tied three for sec-
ond place; 'the freshmen have won
one, lost two, and tied two for
third place; and the juniors have
won one, lost three, and tied one
for fourth place.

Juniors to Play Sophs
The games next Friday, the se-
niors against the freshmen and
the juniors against the sopho-
mores, can alter the standing
among the latter three teams, but
since the sophomores have won
three of their tilts, they have the
'52 hockey crown in the bag.

Stimulated by the quite "hock-
eyisth" weather, the seniors and
sophomores played vigorously
throughout the whole game. But,
as it is when an irresistable
force meets an immovable object,
a great deal of energy was spent
with no results, j (Both teams
threatened seriously several times,
with sustained drives sparked by
Lib Wilson and Molly Pritchard
for the sophs, and by Frances
Cook and Mary Beth Robinson
for the seniors.

Excellent defensive work cut
off all threats, however, especially
on the part of senior goalie Anne
Thomson. Jo Anne Hall and Sally
Legg played conistently well in
stemming the senior goal-drives.
Much of the game was played
within the striking circle, thus
adding to the tremendous ten-
sion prevalent throughout the
match.

The junior team, determined to
avenge the previous loss handed
them by the freshmen, and spur-
red by the return of Joen Fagan
to their backfield, completely out-
played them and demonstrated for
the first time this year the hockey

kill which placed them in first
place in the '51 season. Passing
well, the junior forward line dodg-
ed and dribbled the length of the
field time after time, but the
strong frosh goal guards stood
before the tide nicely, allowing
only one goal to be scored against
them.

Katherine Matthews, Judy
Promnitz, and Pat Patterson
demonstrated unusual dexterity in
their ball handling as the whole
forward line moved as one
throughout the first half. The
freshmen fought back desperately
during the second stanza, but fail-
ed to reach the coveted cage be-
fore time ran out. Freshman Bet-
ty Richardson stood out strong-
ly during the final half, averting
several' would-be goals with strong
drives downfield. The final horn
sounded to close one of the most
bitterly fought games of the sea-
son, Jeaving the juniors jubilant
over their first victory for the
season.

Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, asso-
ciate professor of physical educa-
tion, and Mrs. Nicholas Lombardy
were the referees.

Reporter Reviews
Blackfriars # Farce

By ROSAJLYN KENNEDAY

I hope you had as much fun as
your reviewer did on Thursday
night, Nov. 20. There's no doubt
about it, if you were among the
first-nighters (Students of Emory
and Tech as well as A.S.C.) fac-
ulty members, theater-goers of
Atlanta and Decatur, and Agnes
Scott trustees in the role of spe-
cial guests who filled Gaines au-
ditorium for the Blackfriars' fall
production, "Take Two from One."

The play is a farce in three acts
by Gregorio and Maria Martinez
Sierra, translated from the Span-
ish by Helen and Harley Gran-
ville-Barker. And a farce it is
with all the trimmings: fortune-
teller, shipwreck, an extra wife
returned from the dead (in a sa-
rong), a managing mother-in-law,
and an alligator stuffed with
stones (rubies, emeralds, mostly).

A farce it is, to the very end,
which just sort of isn't. Would
that the Sierras had produced
an African explorer (preferably
the Lowell Thomas type) or some-
body in hot pursuit of Diana to
sweep her away in the dazzling
manner to which her husband (?)
could never become accustomed.

She might even have brought
back a missionary, long given up
or torn to shreds by African lions,
who proves to be Marcela's some-
time husband. The Sierras, per-
haps, were just after a little whim-
sical laugh at the blank-expres-
sioned audience at the end of Act
III; but the play's a farce (it says
so on the title page) and we aren't
supposed to be burdened with
thinking things out.

The Blackfriars' production, of.
which Miss Roberta Winter was
the director and Miss Janet Lo-
ring, designer and technical di-
rector, was spirited and rollicking.

AS Art Department
To Present Exhibit

The first big art exhibit of the
year will be presented Sunday,
Dec. 7 - Sunday, Dec. 15, when
the work of three of the South's
best artists will be shown in the
fourth-floor gallery in Buttrick.
Lamar Dodd, the head of the art
department at the University of
Georgia; Howard Thomas, former
head of the art department of Ag-
nes Scott and now a professor at
the University; and Mr. Francis
Chapin, a nationally known artist
who is guest instructor of painting
for the fall quarter at the Univer-
sity will be the artists.

The show will consist of about
40 paintings oils, water colors,
and prints. Both Mr. Dodd and
Mr. Thomas are modern in their
approach with abstractions while
Mr. Chapin is more traditional
with his water colors. The subject
matter for the exhibition is main-
ly Charleston. In parts, the show
has toured Charleston, Savannah,
and other Southern cities in the
past months, but Agnes Scott is
the first to get it in its entirety.

A reception in the gallery will
be held Sunday afternoon from
2:30-4:30 p .m. The honor guests
will be Miss Scandrett, Mrs. Al-
ston, Mrs. Byers, and Mrs. Stukes.
The afternoon will prove to be a
combination of art and music for
the showing and reception will
precede the Glee club Christmas
Carol concert in Presser hall.

Alston Discloses Dorm Plans;
'Hopkins Hall 9 to House Frosh

Construction of a $200,000 dormitory at Agnes Scott will begin within a few months,
President Wallace M. Alston announced Friday, Nov. 21. The Board of Trustees approved
the plans Thursday, Nov. 20, for Hopkins Hall, and actual building will get under way
this winter.

The building, to house from 50 to 60 fresh man students, will be named in honor of Miss
Nannette Hopkins, dean of Agnes | the first floor.

Scott for nearly 50 years until her
death in 1938. Miss Hopkins
came to Agnes Scott as principal
in 1889 when the preparatory
school was founded which devel-
oped into the college.

Hopkins Hall will be erected
facing the Alumnae garden, com-
pleting a quadrangle with Inman
Hall, the Anna Young Alumnae
House, and the Letitia Pate Evans
Dining Hall. The* garden will be
relandscaped.

The dormitory will be a two-
story building in the classical
style, 129 feet by 50 feet. It will
have a kitchenette and lounge on

A fund of approximately $100,-
000 for the dormitory was con-
tributed by college alumnae in a
1939-44 campaign. Wartime re-
strictions prevented construction
at that time, so the money was
put aside and now amounts to
about $125,000.

The dormitory completely fur-
nished will cost considerably more
than the funds on hand, but the
rising enrollment of resident stu-
dents makes it necessary to begin
construction now. This year Ag-
nes Scott has 365 boarders; this
is an increase of 48 over last
year's boarding enrollment.

General plans for the building
and its location have been unani-
mously endorsed also by the ex-
ecutive board of the national Ag-
nes Scott Alumnae association.

This building is not to take the
place of the cottages or the pro-
posed senior dormitory. Dr. Al-
ston said the college is working
to raise $500,000 in five years for
the larger dormitory for seniors.
This will be constructed on prop-
erty where the old science, hall
now stands. The cottages will re-
main in use until this larger dor-
mitory is finished.

By CAROLYN CRAWFORD

The Agnes Scott Glee club, un-
der the direction of Miss Roxie
Hagopian, will present the annual
program of Christmas music Sun-
day, Dec. 7, at 5 p. ir\,, in Gaines
auditorium.

Raymond J. Martin, associate
professor of music, will play for
the prelude "Noel in G" by Claude 1
D'Aquin, and Jean Langlais' "The
Nativity," in four parts: the
Creche, the Angels, the Shep-
herds, and the Holy Family. The
processional of the Glee club to
"Adeste Fideles" will follow the
organ prelude.

The group will present Benja-
min Britten's "A Ceremony of
Carols." Mr. Britten, a young*
contemporary composer, has giv-
en continuity to a group of old
carols. The 39-year-old English-
man's creation was written to give
the imaginative effect of a choir
of young boys in a cathedral. The
difficult intervals and unusu/al
rhythm patterns give a dissonant
and modern touch, but the com-
position is substantially Grego-
rian.

Old English Carols

"A Ceremony of Carols," writ-
ten for a cherub choir, will pre-
sent the Glee club singing in uni- '
son "Hodie Christus Natus Est"
Christ is bom today. Then the
story of the nativity begins with
"Wolcum Yole!" which joyfully
welcomes the yule season. The
libretto of this and the remaining
carols is anonymous Old English.

The next five carols, "There is
No Rose," "That Yonge Child,"
M Balulalow," "As Dew in Aprille,"
and "This Little Babe" portray
the humble birth of Christ to the
virgin mother. These are con-
trasted from the legato style of
"There is no Rose" to the presto
tempo of "This Little Babe." The
latter is exemplary of Mr. Brit-
1en's use of repetition, one voice
followed by another to give an
echo effect such as might be pro-
duced in a large vaulted cathe-
dral.

Harp Interlude

This group is followed with an
interlude by the harp, with which
the composer intended to accom-
pany his whole work. The Inter-
lude sets the mood for "In Freez-
ing Winter Night," a carol depict-
ing the frosty winter night on
which the Christ child was born.
In contrast to the winter atmos-
phere comes the light, gay "Spring
Carol."

The lively "Deo Gracias" pre-
cedes the recessional of the young
voices again proclaiming "Hodie
Christus Natus Est."

Jackie King, Caroline Lester,
and Nancy Fraser are the soloists.
Dr. William A. Calder, professor
of physics, will accompany several
of the carols on the harp.

A member of the speech depart-
ment will give the Christmas mes-
sage from the Gospel according to
Saint Luke.

As is customary the program
will be concluded by Richard
Gaines' Rex Gloriae, with Nancy
Clark as violinist. Sue Walker is
accompanist and Jackie King
president of the 55-member glee
club.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, Dec. 3 ? 1952

A Resolution

Non-Activity week on the Agnes Scott campus was suggested by
the 1938-1939 chapter of Mortar Board. We have benefited greatly
from non-activity week through the years because it has given all
students the opportunity to have one week for concentrated study,
uninterrupted by time-consuming activities, in preparation for their
exams.

This plan was originated by students for students because a def-
inite need was felt on our campus. Through the years some of us
have become more and more careless about planning and scheduling
activities and meetings during non-activity week. We fail to realize
that the entire week before exams is supposed to be free for studying.

Therefore the 1952-1953 chapter of Mortar Board urges all campus
leaders of organizations and clubs, the faculty, and the administra-
tion to cooperate with us this year in re-emphasizing non-activity
week.

This quarter exams begin Thursday, Dec. 11. Non-activity week
begins Thursday, Dec. 4.

Blackfriars' Farce

(Continued from page 1)

The actors were well cast, particu-
larly the leads. Virginia Clift fit-
ted perfectly the languid, tigress-
type, siren-wife Diana, super-so-
phisticated, with just a dash of
the savage. Anne Sylvester did an
especially good job of Marcela,
playing foil to Diana without
yielding to the tempting extremes
of Virtue Betrayed by Fate. And
if Faustino was a tiny bit young
in spots, his lawyer-tirades and
"Let's reason this out like ra-
tional beings" refrain went off
beautifully.

The leads were backed by a
flock of nicely detailed minor
characters, ranging from the Eng-
lish Turners and their spaniel to
the several members of Faustino's
family from upstairs. Your re-
viewer remembers in particular
Katherine Hocking's surrounding
aura of fate as the gypsy Regina,
Mary Ann Wyatt's Swedish other-
worldliness as Astrid, and the
continually baffled, well-meaning
Juliana, created by Neva Jack-
son Webb. (Will you ever forget
that walk?)

Mob Scene Well Done

The production as a whole came
off well, the difficult mob-hysteria
scene on shipboard being particu-
larly well handled by Miss Winter,
the Ship's Passengers (named and
nameless) and the light crew Act
I may have been a little slow get-
ting underway. Your reporter,
however, does not feel qualified
to say for certain; she may well
have been a trifle seasick. That
was a mighty convincing ocean.

The indoor set for the second
and third acts was nicely comple-
mentary to the play, too a sug-
gestion of present-day Madrid in
the curtained arch and crucifix
without the usual collection of lo-
cal-color: shawl-draped walls, ma-
tador trophies and wrought-iron
balconies. Tavie Garlington's por-
trait of Virginia contributed hea-
vily to Diana's domination of the
action even before her reappear-
ance.

Chor Gee Goh and the costume
committee did a very effective
job, harmonizing and accentuat-
ing with colors and styles. The
white youthfulness of Astrid's
dress in Act I contrasted forceful-
ly with the gay ball dresses of the
young ladies and black of the
men's tuxedoes. And in Act. Ill

Tucker Seeks Help
In Trimming Trees

Helen Tucker, day student chair-

community will be used to buy
materials for tree decorations.

Anyone interested in helping to
make the decorations, day stu-
dents or boarding students, is
asked to sign the list that is post-
ed in the mailroom. Helen says
that they would like to make this
a campus wide project and would
especially like to have the board-

MARY WALLACE KIRK

Active AS Trustee
Has Wide Interests

Miss Mary Wallace Kirk of Tus-
cumbia, Ala., was the first alum-
na of Agnes Scott College to be
elected to membership on the
board of trustees. She became
alumnae representative in 1917.
Since that time Miss Kiijk has
served on nearly all important
committees and for many years
has been chairman of the Com-
mittee on Health.

As a student here, Miss Kirk
was a member of executive com-
mittee of Student government all
four years. She held the office
of secretary one year; she was
also YWCA president and co-ed-
itor of "Silhouette."

Miss Kirk was president of the
Agnes Scott Alumnae association
for two terms, during which per-
iod the Anpa Young Alumnae
house was built. The Alumnae
association was reorganized dur-
ing this time and became national
in scope and organization. At the
present time Miss Kirk is serving
her third term as chairman of
the Education Committee of the
Alumnae association.

Church Worker

Miss Kirk has held many of-
fices in the women's work of the
Presbyterian church. She has
been chairman of the Southeast
Division of the Student Work of
the YWCA, the National Board
of YWCA, and the Woman's Co-
operating Commission of the Fed-
eral Council of Churches until its
merger into the National Council
of Churches.

Her business concerns include
two farms and a hotel.

Besides being noted for YWCA
work, Miss Kirk is nationally
known, for her art. and garden in-
ierests. Her etchings are well-
known and she is a member at
large of the Garden club of Amer-
ica. She is also interested in
-eading with special emphasis on
poetry.

Miss Kirk is our oldest trustee
; n the point of service but by no
means in age. She lives now in
the old family home in Tuscumbia

hitih was built in 1823.

FRANCES W IN SHIP WALTERS

Walters Presents
Campus Buildings

In June, 1949, the Frances Win-
ship Walters infirmary was dedi-
cated. Planed and erected after
a long and thorough study of the
best college hospitals in the U. S.,
it has 30 rooms and a capacity for
34 patients. Provision is made for
the residence of a full-time physi-
cian and two trained nurses. In
daily use, the building stands as a
fitting reminder of the valued and
generous friend who made it pos-
sible, Mrs. Frances Winship Wal-
ters.

Mrs. Walters' association with
Agnes Scott began when, as Mary
Frances Winship, she attended
Agnes Scott Institute for three
years. In 1920 she established a
scholarship in the name of her
late husband, George C. Walters,
with the sum of $1,000, which was
subsequently increased to $5,000.
Thirty-five girls have been assist-
ed with their education by means
of this fund.

In 1940 'Mrs. Walters contrib-
uted $5,000 towards the alumnae
campaign to provide Hopkins Hall
as a memorial for the first dean
of the college, Miss Nanette Hop-
kins. At the same time she es-
tablished the Frances Winship
Walters Foundation with $50,000,
providing that the incomes be
used to help worthy girls. More
than 90 awards have already been
made.

The magnificent infirmary do-
nation was entirely unsolicited.
Dr. J. R. McCain, now president
emeritus, had prepared a brochure
of sketches of buildings needed by
the college and a copy of this fell
into Mrs. Walters' hands. She
then offered to provide the sum
necessary for the much needed in-
firmary.

Companion gift with the infir-
mary was a piece of tapestry
made by Mrs. Walters herself.

Mrs. Walters has not limited
her association with Agnes Scott
to donations but has given gener-
ously of her time also. She has
been a member of the Board of
Trustees since 1937 and is vice-
chairman of the buildings and
grounds committee.

Agnes Scott has not been the
only beneficiary of Mrs. Walters'
kindness and generosity. She
built the beautiful chapel which
is an adjunct to her church, St.
Mark's Methodist, and completely

Spinning the Patter

AS Society Editor Reports
On Excitement of Holidays

By CAROL JONES

Now that we're safely back in our Ivory Towers once more (and
mine is rather drafty in December, I find!) last weekend seems to
have passed into the realm of dreams. For most of us it meant a
trip home, or maybe going home with a frined, seeing our families
and friends, eating turkey, probably keeping "unusual" hours! All
of which adds up to: "What on earth can I put in the Society column
THIS week?" When all but about 30 people decide to leave the cam-
pus, it doesn't leave much happening here! However I have been
duly assured that for the ones who did remain here over the holidays,
it was far from duly I'm afraid almost everyone failed to live up to
any good intentions they might have had concerning books, lessons,
studying, or anything else related to the field of liberal education.

Even when everyone goes home for the weekend, the Georgia Tech
football games draw them out in dozens. The Tech-Georgia game
in Athens Saturday was attended by Jamie McCoy, Barbara Mann,
Clara Jean McLanahan, Tunshy Kwilecki, Diane Butler, Harriette
Potts, Helen McGowan, and Alma Scoggins, plus a few more who
helped to cheer the Tech Yellow Jackets on to victory in a very ex-
citing game. (We heard it over the radio in Columbia!)

Several girls brought back visible memories of a wonderful vaca-
tion. Rosemary Royster is wearing an ATO pin from Duke, and
Shirley Hurt has a Phi Delta Theta pin from Tech. Ruth Posey,
Evelyn Mason, and Judy Promnitz are all wearing ATO pins, and
Frankie Junker has a military pin from Oak Ridge.

Flo Hand and Helen Tucker came back from their vacation wear-
ing beautiful diamond rings.

It's too bad the weekend couldn't have lasted longer, but if it
had probably most of us wouldn't have felt much like studying by
now. And after all, Christmas is just three weeks away. And I just
received a flash from Santa Claus he says that if .we're all good
little girls through exam week, he just MIGHT bring each of us
something extra special for Christmas another holiday, maybe?

Sophs Win '52 Hockey Crown
As Frosty Flourish EndsSeason

By Carolyn Wells

With chattering teeth, red noses and cold-numbed fingers,
the seniors defeated the freshmen, 2-1, and the juniors dead-
locked the sophomores, 0-0, to close the '52 hockey season
with a frosty flourish last Friday. So with the season just a
memory, the sophomores tucked away first place their

first athletically with three
wins and three ties, and the sen-
iors drove home their late-season
surge from the cellar to finish
second with two wins, three ties
and a single loss. The freshmen,
early strong contenders for the
crown, finished neck-and-neck
with the junior team for third
place, each winning one, tying two
and losing three.

The seniors, undefeated since
the second game of the season,
continued their winning ways by
overcoming the scrappy freshman
team. Striking swiftly in the first
half, the seniors scored both of
their points within minutes of
each other, as Mary Beth Robin-
son and Frances Cook ignored the
cold which made strong driving
difficult to send the ball whizzing
past the freshman goalie. Fran-
ces Blakeney and Lilla Kate Par-
ramore teamed with Virginia Cor-
ry to form a strong defensive
wall, preventing) several would-be
freshman tallies.

Thomas Scores

The penetrating weather seeped
into the bones of the players dur-
ing their intermission, however,
and scoring practically came to a
standstill after the initial quar-
ter of the senior-frosh tilt. In
the waning moments of their sec-
ond half, freshman Nancy Thomas
slipped the ball past goalie Anne
Thomson for the final marker for
this season. Julie Boland in the
backfield and Barbara Huey on
the line played exceptionally well
for the losers.

The sophomores and juniors
took the field rather clumsily
(though whether stiff from cold
or encumbered with wraps, one
never knows) to play 20 minutes
of almost entirely defensive hock-
ey. Joen Fagan, Julie Grier, and
Jackie Josey matched tackles with
Dottie Holcomb, Sally Legg, and
-Margaret Williamson.

Desperate drives stimulated by
Connie Curry, Peggy Bridges, and
Lib Wilson failed to pay off for
the sophomores, and try as they

might, the junior forward line, led
by Nancy Lee, Judy Promnitz, and
Pat Patterson, could not pene-
trate the score column. And so
the season ended as it began, with
a deadlock struggle between tw r o
strong opponents.

Final Tallies

Interesting bits of information
concerning the 1952 hockey sea-
son as remembered in closing:

Mrs. Nicholas Lombardy cer-
tainly did a lot toward raising
hockey standards at Agnes Scott
with her superb refereeing.
Thanks!

Freshman Nancy Thomas scor-
ed the most points during the sea-
son, putting four tallies on the
score sheets. Senior Mary Beth
Robinson was next, registering
three points.

The sophomores scored eight
points throughout the year, the
seniors, six, the freshmen, four,
and the juniors, two.

The sophomores were practic-
ally able to run a two-platoon
system throughout the season.
Congratulations for such wonder-
ful participation!

The spectator attendance was
wonderful, even on the more
"chilly" days.

And in closing a big bunch of
roses to Hockey Mgr. Joen Fagan
for a most successful and exciting
hockey season, and to her four
team managers, Frances Cook,
Nancy Lee, Libby Wilson, and
Emmy Lou Sessions for a job most
satisfactorily done!

As Campus Goes Cram-happy

By Jane Landon

There are various ways to spot the romanticists and real-

I say optimists, buy 10 blue books for their five exams, while
the realists use five books left over from the 10 they bought
last year.

Following are a few thoughts
concerning exams. Maybe they
will help you, but probably they
won't . . . take this attempt at
poetry for what it's worth.

Mystery Shrouds
Faculty's Practice

By MARION MERRITT

The faculty has set the date
for their revue for this Saturday
night, Jan. 17, at 8:30 p. m. This
event is the first of its kind in
four years, and is sure to have an
enthusiastic audience in the stu-
dent body, since the project was
undertaken in answer to anguish-
ed outcries from the students.

The whole student body has
looked forward to witnessing
a general abandonment of
dignity and academic splendor by
their schoolmasters and school-
marms. The faculty, which re-
quired much courtship in per-
suading, it to once more pace the
boards, has now abandoned its
former bashfulness. Like a belle
who has at last been tracked down
and engaged, it bustles about quite
happily now, full of secrets and
preparations. Rehearsals are al-
ready in full swing, as is evidenc-
ed by large scale planning to cov-
er the baby-sitter situation.

Considerable amounts of snoop-
ing have produced very little. Fac-
ulty offices are abandoned, so lis-
tening at keyholes is hardly worth
the trouble. However, a few hints
have been dropped, which this re-
porter can fashion into no plaus-
ible scheme of things.

Cryptic Clues

For example, who is the
"dreamy Arlene Dahl" of the
faculty who will take the lead?
Why should she be called Miss
Nautilus? Is that comparable to
Miss America or to Miss Radiator
and Pipe Association, do you sup-
pose? The dictionary furnishes
very confusing information.

Also, how would Miss Laney
make out on the answering end
of questions, a most unlikely place
for her to be? It is known that
Mr. Hayes hides himself away
somewhere. From whom? In
what ? Will they find hum, I won-
der.

Another clue is that Dr. Alston
has trouble with the authorities
in Main building concerning a
date. This should be interesting.
But all remains puzzling.

It is known, too, that Dr. Mc-
Cain will appear in the role which
he made famous in the last facul-
ty production, but no one will tell
what it is, not even Dr. McCain. I
have been foiled in all attempts
to gain information, even barred
from the hall of theatrical fame,
where it is said his picture hangs
between Garrick and Barrymore.

Such preparation, such secrecy,
such chuckling in the faculty din-
ing room, promise that "Shell-
bound 1953" will be fine indeed.

Frost, Jebb to Lecture

Lecture association will
present Robert Frost on Jan.
28 at 8:30 p. m. There is no
charge. The public is cordial-
ly invited.

On Feb. 12, at 8:30 p. m.,
Sir Gladwyn Jebb, British
representative to the U. N.,
will speak in Presser Hall.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday. Jan. 14. 1953

Guest Editorial:

Ed. Note: The student body will vote in the very near future on
the proposed change in the student election system. The News
published the resolution before the holidays, and below are printed
two reactions to it.

At Last!

A Faculty Opinion

In a democracy any procedure which makes the act of
voting more simple and less time consuming is 'greatly to
be desired. Any procedure which makes the voter give a
greater consideration to the qualifications of the persons for
whom he is voting is valuable in the selection of the best
persons for office holders.

It seems to me that the new plan of preferential voting
at Agnes Scott should accomplish these purposes very well.
The election can be completed more quickly and the students
will be encouraged to think carefully about those for whom
they are voting. Dr. Florence Smith.

A Student View

There are many advantages to be gained by the accept-
ance of the preferential vote system at Agnes Scott. Every
student is aware of the extra time and effort necessary in
run-off elections in the past; in the new system, however,
only one ballot is used to designate first choice and all sub-
sequent choices.

Also, this system eliminates the possibility of a person's
obtaining an office with a minority vote. A last and impor-
tant advantage is that the system effects a speedier count
and therefore more prompt election returns.

With our numerous elections at Agnes Scott and for the
benefit of the voter, the candidate and the ones who count
ballots, I think that we, as mature and democratic voters,
should institute the preferential vote system. Connie Curry

'52 Sees Worst Polio Season

Join the

MARCH

DIMES

JANUARY 2 TO 31

The worst polio epidemic
in our country's history oc-
curred in 1952. The disease
claimed more than 50,000 vic-
tims, most of them children,
doubling the number strick-
en in 1951.

These are not cold statistics. They reflect human suffer-
ing. The helpless child who one day is playing happily with
his playmates and the next is encased in an iron lung is no
less a pitiful figure when his number is multiplied by hun-
dreds.

Through its 3,100 agencies the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis aided approximately 90,000 persons this
year, some of these carry-over cases from previous years.
The National Foundation helped in many ways, providing
iron lungs and other equipment, nurses and physical thera-
pists for victims and carrying on vital research.

Late this year gamma globin, a blood fraction, was discov-
ered to provide polio immunization. This is still in the ex-
perimental stage and a great amount of money is needed for
further research. *

Franklin D. Roosevelt, himself a polio victim, was the
founder of the "March of Dimes." Let us, through our con-
tributions, make it possible for other potential servants of
the people to have their chance to lead normal, worthwhile
lives. J. S. '

League to Present Duo-Piano Team

Will Mr, Stukes again takei
this unusual role in the faculty
revue? Be sure to come early
Saturday night to fathom the
mystery.

Dr. Gibson to Open
Marriage Classes

The marriage classes sponsored
by Mortar Board will open with a
talk by Dr. Arthur Vann Gibson
of Morningside Presbyterian
church on the "Engagement Period
and Marriage Plans" this after-
noon, Jan. 14, at 5 p. m. in Room
207', Campbell Hall. These classes
rax open to seniors and engaged
girls of all classes.

Several interesting and helpful
talks have been arranged. On Jan-
uary 21, Dr. J. M. Goddard will
speak on the psychology of court-
ship and marriage. On January
28 and February 4 Dr. John Mc-
Cain, M. D., will discuss the phy-
siology of marriage.

Dr. Goddard returns on Febru-
ary 11 to speak on adjustments
after marriage. Mr. Roff Sims,
Atlanta banker, will discuss the
financial problems of marriage.
The series will end with a final
talk by Dr. Alston on making
marriage permanent.

Books on these and related sub-
jects will be available in the li-
brary. Their location will be an-
nounced later.

The versatile duo-pianists, Vir-
ginia Moriey and Livingston
Gearhart. will appear in the last
concert of the current series spon-
sored by the Decatur Junior Serv-
ice League at Presser hall, Tues-
day, Jan. 27, at 8:30 p. m.

The couple, husband and wife
in private life, have reaped high
critical and public praise for their
coast-to-coast concert tours, their
regular weekly broadcasts as fea-
tured artists on Fred Waring's
programs, their best-selling Co-

lumbia album, "Night Life on Two
Pianos," and their performances
as soloists at such New York
night clubs as the St. Regis roof.

California-born Miss Moriey and
Mr. Gearhart, who comes from
Buffalo, N. Y.. met as fellow stu-
dents at the Fontainebleau school
near Paris.

Tickets for the concert may be
obtained by calling Mrs. Hans-
ford Sams, Jr., CR. 2876, or by
contacting any League member.

Letter to Editor

Dear Editor:

It was not until the A. A. bicy-
cles went to the shop for much-
needed repairs that we found out
how often people used them. At
the first of the quarter the board
was deluged with the questions,
"Where are the bicycles?" and
"When are they coming back?"
So we didn't begrudge the $30 re-
pair bill at all, because we felt
that the bicycles would be in bet-
ter shape and that more people
would be able to ride them.

But recently some students
have been very careless about tak-
ing them out and leaving them all
over the cam/pus. In at least four
instances they have been left out
as long as four days, two of those
times in the rain. These two bi-
cycles have gotten so rusty that
they will need additional repair.

A. A. is glad to be able to have
the bicycle room open at all times
for the use of the students, but
unless better care is taken of the
bicycles the room will have to be
locked and the key gotten from
the Dean's Office. Let's hope, this
step won't be necessary.

An A. A. board member

Not that we entertain the slightest doubt that there is any
need for doing it, but, as one campus organization which
reaches the entire body of literate students, we would like
to urge the students to support wholeheartedly with their
presence the long-anticipated faculty revue this Saturday
night.

The extremely secret, and evidently very earnest, re-
hearsals as well as the knowing winks of those suspected to
be in the company of performers portend an unforgettable
evening's entertainment.

We have only one warning: from the varied isolated re-
ports we have received the mass influx of (1) old grads
from Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, etc., who either remem-
ber the first "Shellbound" and will not miss the second or
else missed the first revue and won't be outdone, (2) fresh-
man day students, who plan a spend-the-night celebration
on campus that night, (3) members of the community w T ho
want to see their neighbors in a new light, and (4) an unu-
sual number of dates, families, and friends, be sure that
you don't miss the event of your college career.

We're taking our post at noon, Saturday, to avoid the
standing room section. P. S.

A Mid-Year Request

Accuracy is surely the prime virtue of any newspaper. All
of the publicity about an outstanding lecture is relatively
futile if the place is omitted or printed incorrectly. Like-
wise, the enthusiasm of any concert-goer is likely to be damp-
ened if he has to wait 30 minutes because the wrong hour or
the performance was announced.

We of the News staff realize the responsibility which the
job of publishing informatiqtfi carries with it, both because
part of the means of financing the publication comes from
the student budget and because the News is the college's
only completely student-supervised organ for presenting
information and reflecting opinion on campus.

Thus, at the beginning of a new quarter we would like
to ask your indulgence and active help in collecting the cor-
rect information for publication. This mid-year solicitation
for cooperation was prompted by an unfortunate and need-
less incident last quarter, when an advance story about a
meeting to be held two weeks later was printed. Evidently
the reporter had received an incorrect version of the plans
for the event or else she had misinterpreted- the account. At
any rate, the mistake caused much confusion among those
concerned with the meeting.

We realize that some errors will inevitably occur in any
human production, yet the distressing part of this mistake
is that not one of the approximately 100 people who knew
of the mistake mentioned it to the newspaper, none of whose
36 staff members were concerned with the meeting. Had
they done so, there was still plenty of time to make the cor-
rection in the paper before the scheduled meeting and thus
avoid the repetition of the erroneous story. This correction
would also have saved the many hurried notices which the
planners had to issue.

We agree that accuracy is to be desired above all else, and
we believe with Benjamin Franklin that "carelessness is
worse than a want of knowledge." We would like to elim-
inate both evils.

The News staff would like to serve the entire campus,
faculty and staff as well as students, the trustees and the
community. We ask again for all cooperation and sugges-
tions which you may be able to provide. We request an
active, rather than a passive, audience. P. S.

Spinning the Patter

AS Campus Sparkles
With Souvenirs From Santa

By CAROL JONES

From all indications, the holidays are gone but not forgotten on
the Agnes Scott social scene. They left a rather indelible mark
which we shall mention at length in its place, but it is also obvious
that they left a tinge of holiday spirit which lingers on and on, mak-
ing everyone want to party and party, and we do mean party! Tech
and Emory fraternities both had the bug last weekend, and seemed
to be trying to out-do each other in starting the new quarter with
a bang, sizzle, and pop.

Over at Emory the Sigma Pi's had a party which Margie Young,
Louisa Allen, Ruthe Norton, and Mary Lou Daniel attended, and the
Sigma Chi's had one, also, at which Harriette Griffin, Norma Cham-
blee and Nancy Gay enjoyed themselves.

The party-of-the week, apparently, was the Jungle Hop given by
the Sigma Chi's at Tech. They staged a back-to-nature movement
(at least that was what it looked like, though I don't think that's
what they had in mind) with everything that goes to make up a per-
fect primitive wilderness, from explorers to chimpanzees. Of course
Agnes Scott sent a few missionaries over just to make the show more
authentic! Some of the girls who went were Claire Flintom, Mar-
garet Burwell, Katherine Hanna, B. C. George, Jane Frist, Barbara
Fleshman, Shirley Simpson, Adeline Steans, .Lib Grafton, Betsy Hill,
Jeanne Levie, and Peggy Pfeiffer. Like all good jungle inhabitants,
they had bananas for refreshments.

And now for the summing up of the results of the Christmas va-
cation, here's the score. (Please be seated first. The management
does not assume responsibility for injuries received due to astonish-
ment on the part of our patrons at the contents of this or any other
column.) When the last straggler straggled in last Tuesday morn-
ing, we found that during the preceding three weeks this is what
happened to our student body (not to mention Sybil Corbett's ring):

Lib Flynn and JoAnn Hall both received ATO pins.

Mary McLanahan received an SAE pin.

Carol Miller received a Delta Tau Delta pin.

Misses Margie Thomason, Dele Thompson, Shirley Samuels,
Helen McGowan, Jeanne Heisley, Ann DeWitt, Annette Jones, Ada-
line Miller, Anne Bullard, and Barbara Boyd received engagement
rings. If that wasn't just about the sweetest thing in the world for
Santa Claus to do!

'Holidays Do End;'
Or, 'Cry, This One
Is Gonna Be Sad'

By JANE LANDON

The holidays were lovely,
The food was great,
Home was heaven,
I slept late.

Inspired I became
(As long as I was gone,)
To study some next quarter
Was the outline I had drawn.

But what to my wondering
Eyes should appear,
But books, and labs, and profs,
(The things I should hold dear.)

I wondered as I wandered,
As off to class I went;
When I promised myself to study,
What was it I had meant?

Bells, bells, bells, bells, bells.*

It's still the same old story,
A fight for love and glory,
A case of do or die.
My world is full of broken reso-
lutions,
As time goes by.

AS Athletes Shine at GSCW;
Conference Offers Rain, Fun

By A. A. Reporter

What's an interesting way to spend the first week-end
of a new quarter? Just ask Anne Thomson, Julia Grier, and
Betty Stein who have just returned from Milledgeville
where they represented Agnes Scott at the annual Georgia
Athletic Federation for College Women conference.

After a wet and late arrival
Friday night due to rain climax-
ed by the temporary loss of suit-
cases due to absent-mindedness,
the girls joined the other dele-
gates for the principal address,
"Where do we go from here?",
made by Miss Janet Wells of the
University of Florida. The theme
of the speech was the role ath-
letics will play in our lives after
graduation. Following this was
a tumbling exhibition and a mod-
ern dance recital presented by
G. S. C. W. which is well-known
for its fine acrobats and dancers.

The Hottentots decided it should
also gain a reputation for its
Southern hospitality for upon go-
ing wearily to the dorm where
they were to spend the night, they
discovered their lost suitcases,
fresh towels, soap, empty closets,
and soft beds awaiting them.

Next morning, there was break-

fast at dawn (7:30), then a gener-
al session, the highlight being a
panel discussion on the possibil-
ities of integrating sports activ-
ities with all other departments
on a coltege campus. Anne served
on this panel and really did a
magnificent job of presenting the
affirmative points.

Afterwards, the girls divided in-
to smaller groups to discuss this
question of integration, 'fhe re-

Agnes Scott Faculty Venture
Far Afield During Holidays

By Joan Simmons

Not only students, but several members of the Agnes
Scott faculty ventured far afield during the recent holidays.
Miss Roxie Hagopian, associate professor of music; Dr. Cath-
erinee Sims, associate professor of history and political sci-
ence; Dr. Muriel Harn, professor of German and Spanish;
and Dr. Elizabeth Barineau, asso-
ciate professor of French; all at

tended conventions connected with
study in their various fields.

Miss Hagopian attended the
eighth annual meeting of the Na-
tional Association of Teachers of
Singing, held at the Sheraton-Pla-
za Hotel, Boston, Mass., Dec. 28-
31. She attended a vocal clinic
and sessions dealing with such
subjects as "Voice Therapy/' "The
Opera Workshop," "What Makes
Good Choral Singing."

Among the highlights of the
convention were the banquet ad-
dress given by Cyrus Durgin, dra-
ma and music critic of the "Bos-
ton Globe," and the premier per-
formance of Scarlotti's two act
opera "TJie Triumph of Honor, or
the Rake's Reform" in a new ver-
sion prepared and edited by
Charles Lawrie, based on the or-
iginal manuscript and performed
by the Boston University Opera
Workshop.

Miss Hagopian also , attended
Rex Harrison's and Lili Palmer's
new play and the Mozart's "Bas-
tien und Bastienne" performed by
the Salzburg Marionettes. This
operetta will be a spring project
of the Agnes Scott Glee club.

Dr. Sims attended the 67th an-
nual meeting of the American His-

torical association in Washington,
D. C, Dec. 28-30. The meeting
consisted mainly of conferences
on various aspects of history in
which several authorities would
take part.

Dr. Sims attended the sessions
dealing with various aspects of the
middle ages, the seventeenth cen-
tury, the Russian tsars, represen-
tative institutions of 1400-1700,
and a conference on British stud-
ies.

Dec. 29 she attended the bus-
iness meeting of the Association
and also the banquet. J. G. Ran-
dall, president of the association,
of the University of Illinois, gave
the banquet address. Dr. Sims
stated she was "continually im-
pressed by the wealth of learning
revealed by the speakers."

Dr. Harn and Dr. Barineau at-
tended the Modern .Language as-
sociation meeting at Miami Uni-
versity, Miami, Fla., during the
Thanksgiving holidays. The main
features of the conference were
discussions of French, Germain.
Italian, Russian, and English folk-
lore. At one session Dr. Barin-
eau read a paper discussing the
changes in the style of Victor Hu-
go. Dr. Harn is a member of the
Association council.

Faculty Scores Hit
With 'Shellbound W

By ROS.ALYX KEXXEI) AY

The arts are liberated, hence-
forth and forever more, utterly if
not irrevocably, as of Saturday
night, Jan. 17. The Agnes Scott
faculty, clad severally in blue
jeans, shells, night shirts, aca-
demic gowns, and socks, and arm-
ed with stethoscopes, term pa-
pers, art originals, and engage-
ment rings, stormed the Bastille
of academic convention in a super-
colossal revival of 1947's mad ex-
travaganza, "Shellbound."

Directed by Miss Winter with
Miss Loring as assistant director,
featuring a cast of thousands, and
produced at an inestimable cost of
time, nerve, originality, innate tal-
ent and hard work not to men-
tion showmanship and art, "'Shell-
bound II" is in the general con-
census the century's most stu-
pendous contribution to the the-
ater world.

It's all about a teacher lady
from a woman's college who's in
a shell, and how she gets out.
Susan (temporarily Miss Nautil-
us), superbly created by Miss Phy-
thian, was cured by the eminent
psychiatrist, Dr. McJung, played
with sympathy and genuine artis-
tic sensitivity by- Dr. McCain, and
his able assistant, Miss Fitz, feel-
ingly portrayed by Miss Jacob.
Campus Snapshots

In the process of her recovery
we were all admitted to the in-
ner sanctum of Susan's mind via
The Voices, a group to make Aes-
chylus and Joan of Arc exchange
a knowing glance, who showed us
animated snapshots of college life
to make you happy, no matter
whose side you're on.

From the teacher's point of
view, we saw Senora Dunstan ex-
erting exhausting efforts to make
Miss Dozier, Mrs. Lapp, and oth-
ers "experience" in order to cre-
ate in the dance medium; Dr.
Alexander assuring the timorous
Miss Preston with the old this-
won't-hurt-a-bit technique as she
mutilated the latter's term pa-
per; Mr. G. "Picasso" Hayes point-
ing out with rare discernment the
Wpy subtle Christian element .in
Miss Florence Smith's painting of
a church steeple, which later sold
at intermission auction for an all-
time high of five dollars; Mr. Mc-
Nair chirping "chick-a-dee-dee
dee" to impress the charmingly
overawed Miss Loring with the
importance of immaculate ee-nun-
cee-a-shee-on in singing; and Mr.
Kline revealing solar secrets with
the help of a dazzling host of
starlets headed by Miss Cilley
(familiarly known as "Sunny").

The student's eye view is equal-
ly hilarious. We remember Miss
Christie's E n g lish classrooms
where Miss Gaylord chewed gum,
Miss Laney (wearing a charming
kerchief over her curls) yawned,
and Miss Dexter was also pres-
ent; a dorm hallway where Miss
Scandrett mooned on the phone,

The Faculty Came
Through Again

If we had any doubts left about the capabilities of our fac-
ulty after our three and one half years 7 sojourn at Agnes
Scott, they were dispelled last Saturday night.

We have seen the Lunts in Edinburgh, the Shakespeare
players at the London Old Vic, Sir Ralph Richardson and co-
horts at Stratf ord-on-Avon, and the Moliere actors at the
Comedie Francaise, but never have we seen anything to equal
our faculty's performance in "Shellbound 1953."

We have always known that Miss Phythian was good at
expounding on Pascal, that Miss Cilley and Mrs. Dunstan
were good at Spanish literature, that a conference with Dr.
McCain could cure almost any ailment, that Miss Preston
could quote Wordsworth and grow beautiful roses, that
Miss Dexter was quite a renowned prychologist, that Miss
Scandrett knew the handbook backwards, that Miss Wilburn
was a dandy hockey player, that Miss Florence Smith was
an authority on the French Revolution, that Miss Zenn could
write cuneiform and teach Old Icelandic, that Lillian New-
man could find almost any book in the library, that Miss
Barineau was witty, that Mr. Martin was an expert at Bach
and Mendelssohn, and that all the faculty- were keen observ-
ers of human nature. It was not until Saturday that we
found out HOW keen.

Accuracy and Practical Gain

To name a favorite scene would be impossible, but for
sheer accuracy of detail the dormitory scene would run a
close second to the classroom representation. (What an
incomparable way to see ourselves as others see us.) For
real practical gain from the revue, we suggest that Mr. Cal-
der elaborate on the observatory scene and incorporate the
principles in his method of teaching, employing, of course,
more serious participants.

The entire production was a masterpiece; the satire was
perfect; the timing was precise; the performers were natural;
and the casting, flawless.

We suggest that the writing committe offer its services
to "The New Yorker;" that Mrs. Alston, Miss Phythian,
Mr. Garber and Mr. Martin take the chorus with them to the
Stork club and make a clean sweep; and that President Ei-
senhower hire Mrs. Byers and staff as his publicity chair-
men.

To all who had a part in presenting "Shellbound 1953"
and most especially to the director, Miss Winter we of
the front row, center, audience express our appreciative
thanks for the best evening's entertainment we have ever
witnessed.

We have only one additional comment: it was worth wait-
ing for. P. S.

C, A. Suggests New Policy

Between Jan. 6, the opening of the winter quarter, and
March 19, the beginning of winter quarter examinations,
there are exactly nine weeks and one day.

In previous years teachers were requested to forego all
tests and papers during Religious Emphasis week. Although
teachers found it very difficult to arrange their schedules
with this request, the students were usually delighted
that is, until the next week. Then came a deluge of tests
and papers. This was difficult for everyone concerned, and
particularly for the freshmen. The shorter the quarter, the
more difficult it is to disrupt an entire week.

To correct this situation, Christian association has re-
quested that academic schedules follow their normal course.
If a test or paper naturally falls during Religious Emphasis
week, teachers are to feel free to assign them then. This
will, in the long run, be a definite advantage to the students.
Tests and papers will not now crowd the week following
Religious Emphasis week. J. M.

complete with brands and glasses
on a ribbon, while Mr. Posey pro-
tested, Mr. Jones' dog, "Nussin"
chaperoned and Mrs. Warren got
engaged.

The final scene at the Liberated
Arts club was m.c.-ed by your ole
Uncle Les who crooned and gen-
erally jived it up at a igreat rate.
Here the floor show features the
Two-Tone Twins (Miss Shepherd

musical saw virtuosi, Raimundo
(Mr. Martin) -and his gypsy ac-
cordian, and Miss Upbeat (Mrs.
Alston) play-ing blue piano. Mr.
Thomas played French waiter par
excellence. Susan's deossification
was completed and the perform-
ance crowned by her own solo to
the effect that "You can't live
your life in a shell."

Musical Interlude

The musical interlude of organ
mood music including "Barcarol"
and "Basin Street Blues" by Mr.
Martin, and a piano duet "Varia-
tions on Chopsticks" by Mrs. Bry-
an and iMiss Zenn contributed
forcefully to the overall success
of the performance. The finale,
very grand with its panoramic
choreography and good-bye wav-
ing, brought down the house.

Technical committees get a big
bouquet from your critic, especi-
ally the scenery group for their
nightclub background featuring a
very exuberantly liberated pink
individual rising triumphant above
the tower of Main, the program
committee did a very tastefully
discreet advertising job and the
publicity group deserves a special
hand because nobody, but nobody,
could have missed hearing the
barker and his "come-one-come-
all" music for the past six days.

The nicest touch of all is that
Miss Phythian (with a "p" as in
"prima donna") appears in the
program's acknowledgements as
head of the clean-up crew.

Your reporter says: the greatest
thing since peanut butter!

Spinning the Patter

Off-Campus Activities Decline
As ASC Faculty Entertain

By CAROL JONES

With the Faculty Revue holding almost everyone here on campus
last weekend, there just wasn't much to report in the way of off-
campus activities. As a matter of fact, the society editor is beginning
to think that the proverbial "nose for news" was intended all along
to be merely a good digging nose! (And I don't mean for fishing
worms on the quadrangle, either!)

It seems as though practically everyone went to the faculty's pres-
entation of Shellbound II Saturday night at least when the art
auction began it was obvious that the auditorium was filled mainly
by students. And the faculty certainly deserves to be handed the
bouquet-of-the-week for a wonderful evening's entertainment and
a great performance!

Elsewhere over the weekend, there were a few parties at Emory
and Tech which drew a few of the "inmates of the dormitories" out
of their own study shells. The Emory Sigma Nu's had a house dance
Friday night to which Dee Cundiff, Margaret Jones, Sarah Davis,
Lynn Lash, and several others wen^. Other Friday night parties at
Emory drew girls from Agnes Scott, also. Mary Ann Warnell and
Betty McFarland went to the Phi Delta Theta house, Margie Young
and Mary Louise Daniel went to the Chi Phi house, Jean Drumheller
and Mary Hood were at the PiKA house dance, and Erin Young and
Judy Peace went to the Sigma Chi house.

Saturday night Sigma Chi at Emory had a house dance to which
Jane Dahlhouse, Trudy Awbrey, Ginny Lee Floyd, Joan Simmons,
Bunny Hall, Taffy Merrill, Martha Lee Bridges, and several others
went after Shellbound. Diana Butler went to the ATO house at Em-
ory.

Margie Fordham spent the weekend visiting in Anderson, S. C,
with Mrs. Thomas Hughes, the former Margie Trask, who was a stu-
dent here last year.

Carolyn Alford was recently elected the sponsor of Delta Tau
Delta at Emory, and Peggy Pfeiffer received a Sigma Chi pin over the
weekend (Tech).

Ask a Foolish Question and
..Well, You Know the Rest

By Jane Landon

Never let it be said that this is not a democratic column.
There comes a time in every girl's life when she must ask
the advice of others. It looks modest, even if she doesn't
intend to use said advice.
Therefore, by doing a bit of interrogating, your reporter

(Who's going to supply ME with
the names ? )

found exactly what a cross-sec-
tion of the student body would
like to read in this column during
the following weeks. Here are
some of the saner answers.

RlfHARH ^

FRESHMAN: "I would like
some helpful hints on how to
study." (Is she kidding?)

HELEN McGOWAN: "How
about some bridge hands played
out every week?" (I would like
to oblige, Helen, but the printer
doesn't have type for hearts, dia-
mond, shovels, and clubs.)

JOEN FAGAN: "Less written
in the first person. You're really
not as clever as you think."

MARY NEWELL RAINEY:
"Please fight against a possible
no-substitution rule in basketball."

DEAN'S OFFICE: "Will you
please r>sk everyone tc turn in
t v o copies of their schedules?"

LIB GRAFTON: "How about
running a translation of our Ger-
man lesson every week?" (Ach!)

MISS BARINEAU: "Please, a
little help in planning my major."
Speaking of the faculty skit
(which I was, in case you didn't
notice), I would like to say a
hearty "thank you" to OUR
SWELL PROFS who really let go
Saturday night and gave us a
show well worth waiting for!

E L I N KROHN-ERICHSEN :
'TVTaybe you could put in a vocab-
ulary list of American slang, with
definitions. It would be a great
help."

THIRD MAIN : ' 'Character
sketches of available men around
town. We'd do the research if
you would supply the names."

ls 9 Powerful Frosh
Floor Upper Classmen

By Carolyn Wells

The athletic battle royal is raging again between the fresh-
men and sophs. Basketball season opened last Friday after-
noon as these teams registered their initial victories of the
season over the seniors and juniors respectively, 35-10 and
17-15. With the season still in its infancy, the strength
seems to lie in the lower classes,

as the players move their strug-
gle for the athletic cup from turf
to hardwood and, with increased
friendly enmity, continue to con-
tribute top spectator entertain-
ment.

Experienced teamwork by the
freshmen forwards paid great div-
idends as they swished the nets
for 25 points during the first half
to jump to a 25-6 lead. Louisa Al-
len, Mary Dean, and Harriett
Griffin displayed expert timing as
they passed, faked and dribbled
their way into shooting range.

Dora Wilkinson and May Muse
screened off many would-be senior
goals nicely; Eleanor Swain and
Virginia Love were especially apt
in working the ball back to their
forwards. Barbara West collected
six senior points during the after-
noon; Adaline Miller showed ex-
cellent spirit and perseverance
throughout the game.

Sophs Beat Juniors

The junior-sophomore game was
a repetition of the final game last
season, in which the sophs man-
aged to squeeze by the freshmen
in a two-point victory. The tables
were turned Friday, the sopho-
mores fighting desperately to gain
an initial toe-hold in the cham-
pionship run and at the same time
avenge themselves for the drub-
bing last winter.

Sparked by LibDy Wilson, who
took scoring honors for the day
with 15, the sophs drove hard to
lead at half time, 12-4. The ju-
niors o^t scored their rivals in the
second half, however, by six
points.

Julie Grier and Jackie Josey
sunk the majority of the junior
points, teaming with the expert
ball handling of Vallie Burnet to
increase the mounting tension of
the game. Harriette Potts did
an exceptional job defensively.
Donna McGinty showed her usu-
all fine guarding ability as she
and Evelyn Mason bottled up the
junior offense' and saved the game
at several crucial points.

Next week the seniors meet the
juniors and the sophomores take
on the freshmen at 4 p. m The
battle is already shaping up into
what promises to be a struggle all
the way. Right now the cham-

pionship is wide open and it is
anyone's guess about the outcome.

Mrs. Nicholas Lombardy and
Miss Wilburn were the officials.

Hutchens To Attend
Alumnae Meeting

Miss Eleanor Hutchens, Agnes
Scott secretary, will be in Co-
lumbia, S. C, Jan. 18-20 for a dis-
trict meeting of the American
Alumnae Council at which time

Events in Colleges."

Feb. 7-8, the district executive
committee of the American Col-
lege Public Relations association
will meet at Agnes Scott. Miss
Hutchens is a member of the
southeastern states' district board
of directors.

Founder's Day Program

The subject of this year's Foun-
der's Day radio program, Sunday,
Feb. 22, will be 'The Responsi-
bility of the College in the Moral
Field." The broadcast last year
was heard over 11 stations in

der the direction of Special Events

Robert Frost to Lecture Tonight

Juniors To Present
Historical (?) Skit

By Joan Simmons

Did a sophomore wake you Sun-
day morning with "Good morn-
ing, would you like breakfast in
bed?" Have you seen the sign in
the mailroom advertising the sen-
ior class employment agency, ca-
tering to the faculty, or the cryp-
tic signs on the freshman bulletin
board concerning "penny boxes."
Or have you heard a junior say to
another, "Come to the basement
of the science building tonight."

Well, one way or the other you
probably know that Feb. 7 is the
time set for the year's musica]
extravaganza, "Glory Be!"

This year's juniors weren't sat-
isfied with just a single idea. The
class being composed of a large
number of history majors, they
decided to cover all ihe American
history in the one evening allot-
ted to Junior Joint.

But history was never like this.
To give you a clue watch out for
Indians, flaming youth, and just
the younger generation in general.
The juniors, however, say mum's
the word as they place notices on
the bulletin board about practices
for "orange" and "blue."

Classes to Give Skits

But the juniors won't have to
tackle the whole show by them-
selves. They have the musical
numbers, but the other classes
give skits for the periods in his-
tory of colonial days, the old south,
and westward expansion.

The class skit chairmen are
Betsy Hodges, senior; Donna Mc-
Ginty, sophomore; and co-chair-
men Sara Davis and Nancy Gaye,
freshmen. Presiding over the
whole event are Juniors Vallie
Burnet and Jane Landon.

The class queens will be pre-
sented in chapel tomorrow. Guess-
ing has been fast and furious but
the chapel skit planned by Anne
Sylvester will let the classes know
for the first time who will repre-
sent them Feb. 7.

Queen Candidates

And which beauty will reign
over the "formation of a nation?"
That will be up to the class money
chairmen Frances Ginn, senior;
Marian McElroy and Harriette
Potts, juniors; Connie Ballas,
sophomore; Linda Guenther,
freshman and the support they
receive. The latest word from all
is "Give your all for your class
and for WSSF (World Student
Service fund) and the Greek war
orphan." Judging will be done on
a percentage basis. 1

And how do YOU get to attend
this fabulous event?' Well, Lucy
Doyle who's in charge of it all,
says that tickets and table reser-
vations will be sold starting Tues-
day, Feb. 3, till Friday, Feb. 6,
12 noon, and 2-3 p. m. Saturday,
the day of the production, tickets
will be sold from 9-12 noon and at
the door that night.

Tickets will be 50 cents per per-
son and $1.00 will reserve a table.
Hint: get your table early as there
will be only 80 available (for

Players Inc. Give
Spirited Production

By Rosalyn Kenneday

Agnes Scott Lecture associa-
tion presented Players Inc. in
Shakespeare's "Love's Labor's
Lost" in Presser hall Saturday
night, Jan. 25. The last of Shakes-
peare's "experimental,;" dramas,
the play pits natural good sense
and. good humor against pedantry
and facetiousness in a gay corfi-
bat of words and wits.

This production was spirited
and quick. The straight roles, es-
pecially those of Berorone, the
king, and tjfie princess, were light
and lively, having plenty of room
for the slapstick comedy of Ar-
maldo, Costard, and Moth, and
the broad satire^of Holefernes.

The parts of the curate and the
schoolmaster were especially well
received by the audience.

The stage set with its "hearts
in the trees" motif was cleverly
appropriate to the theme and the
title of the play, and at the same
time smoothly adaptable to the
whole action. Costumes of bril-
liantly matched and shaded colors
completed a delightful production
of a comedy timeless in theme
and rolicking fun.

Martin Concert Feb. 9

Raymond J. Martin, associ-
ate professor of music, will
be presented in an organ con-
cert, Monday, Feb. 9, at 8
p. m. in Presser hall. His
program has not yet been
revealed.

Ross Reveals May Day Plans;
Theme Will Be Flower Fantasy

By Marion Merritt

Louise Ross, chairman of the May Day committee, an-
nounces that a scenario written by Florrie Fleming has been
accepted, and that her committees have settled down to prep-
arations for the annual spring pageant. The scenario, which
is of course, under wraps, is entitled "A Flower Fantasy," a
name which conjures up visions

of the May dell surrounded by
trees with new spring green, a
balmy day, and lots of visitors on

ampus. "A Flower Fantasy" is
something to look forward to in
"hese days when the fog and wind

hill our bones.

Louise's committees are plan-
ning and working right now, and
the list of committees 'gives some
some idea of what a complicated

THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS 9 Wednesday. Jan. 28, 1953

Report from WSSF

I have received formal notification from our Geneva office of the
fulfillment of the earmarking your students made last year of a
portion of the funds contributed to World Student Service fund for
Pakistan. The money has been allocated to go with funds from
other sources to the building of a student hostel in Karachi. I am
sure your students will be interested to know about this and what
a worthy project their money has gone to.

The situation in Karachi so far as housing is concerned is critical
indeed. The University there has an enrollment of nearly 10,000
students, and the University itself is able to provide housing for
only about 600 of that number.

In a city crowded with thousands of refugees, this means that an
untold number of students have only grass mat lean-tos in which to
live and that many simply sleep in public buildings, temples, rail-
road stations, etc., and have no room of any sort.

The Karachi committee has undertaken a project to build a stu-
dent center which will have in it a cafeteria, library, and reading
room, and recreation facilities for all of the students of the Uni-
versity. In addition, the upper floors will have rooms for 200t stu-
dents. Admittedly this is not many out of 10,000, but it "is an im-
portant number of additional students who will have relatively ade-
quate housing. When the other services which the centre will render
are considered, it is indeed an important undertaking.

The Karachi committee has already collected from among their
own students and interested individuals and business firms in Karachi
a sum of $15,500 to be used toward the building of this hostel, and
a committee of students on their own initiative have secured a grant
from the Government of the land on which the hostel is to be built.

When I was talking to Sharafuddin Ahmad, General Secretary- of
the Pakistan committee, this fall, he told me that they have a real
opportunity of getting the Government of Pakistan to match dollar
for dollar the funds which they get from all other sources, including
the WSSF grant from our international budget. I think this project
is a magnificient illustration of what we accomplish through WSSF,
help to self-help in these underprivileged countries.
Yours very sincerely,

John C. Gleason, Regional Secretary, WSSF

1953 Junior Joint Funds

Last year Agnes Scott College ranked first place in the
Southeast in WSSF contributions. Again this year the larg-
est part of the proceeds from Junior. Joint is going to be
given to WSSF.

After reading the letter printed above from the Regional
Secretary of WSSF and also hearing in student meeting of
some of the projects that it has financed, we can realize
even more the importance of Junior Joint. In countries all
around the world World Student Service fund has built
hostels, libraries, and other buildings. The fund has helped
many young men and women to go to college who otherwise
would not have had the opportunity.

In contributing to your class fund for Junior Joint, do so
not only with the hope of helping your candidate for queen
to win, but also with the thought of the service you are doing
for students all over the world. C. R.

Reporter Offers A.S. Students
Concise List of Travel Tours

By Joan Simmons

About this time every year, especially when it rains every
day, we all start day-dreaming about bright, sunny lands,
travel, and adventure. The travel folder requests mount,
and some lucky girls start planning to fulfill that life-time
ambition a trip to Europe. After bending an ear to
those whose trip is now an ex-

citing memory and to the early-
birds who have already made their
reservations for this summer, we
have compiled an account you
might be interested in and
able to afford.

The Brownell group offer a
great variety of tours to suit all
tastes and pocketbooks. The qual-
ity college tour conducted by Mrs.
Grace Sweeny, Columbia, S. C,
covers Belgium, France, Germany,
Holland, Italy, Monaco, Switzer-
land and England for $1754, first
class; $1486.60, cabin class; and
$1354, tourist class.

The college student who wishes
to see Europe without too great
an expenditure finds a boon in
the Brownell motor coach tours
for college students. There are
approximately eight of these with
the inclusive cost running as low
as $995 and no higher than $1391
for tours of 40 days and over.

The itineraries of these tours
include Canada (two sail from
Quebec), Belgium. France. Ger-
many, Holland, Luxembourg, Mo-
naco, the Riviera. Switzerland,
and England.

Special Brownell Tour
Frances Ginn. senior, enthusi-
astically recommends the tour she
took last summer, which was
planned and conducted by Dr. and
Mrs. John A. Downs, of the Uni-
versity of Georgia which is affili-
ated with the Brownell Agency.
This tour leaves from Quebec, vis-
its England, Scotland, Holland,
Belgium, Germany. Switzerland,
Italy, and France sailing from Le

Havre Aug. 19. The price is $1745
in first class and $1555 in tourist
class.

The students are usually from
colleges in tins area. Frances
suggested this tour as on giving
you the most for your money.

Brownell tours require deposits
of $200. Further information may
be obtained from the Brownell
Travel Bureau, Inc., Brown-Marx
Building, Birmingham, Ala.

Scandinavian Tours

In recent vears other ways for
college students to see Europe be-
sides the traditional^ grand tour
have been offered. Among these
are the Scandanavian tours for
students sponsored by the govern-
ments of Norway, Sweden and
Denmark. For these tours you
plan your own trip with the aid
of a travel representative.

A car is provided (a new Ford)
and a guide who takes care of all
details and does the driving. You
are then free to travel over Eu-
rope at your will.

Cost for a group of five people
for about 45 uays would be $425,
not including ship passage over.
Further information can be ob-
tained from Elin Krohn-Erichson
in Cunningham cottage.

The "Experiment"

Pris Sheppard, who spent last
summer in England, highly recom-

Spinning the Patter

A.S. Weekend Whirl Includes
Sweetheart Doings, Parties

Lines composed while looking out the windows of Main at the
coming and going of campus society: Ah, life, why art thou social?
Thou insistest upon giving me a hard time! Then comes the inspir-
ing thought Well, it's worth it, ain't it?

The reason for the above slightly incoherent ramblings is that
it took such a long time for the society editor to discover that there
had even been a weekend in the past seven days and when the
discovery was made it came riding in on the high tide of just lots
and lots of news. But before starting to report it all, I have been
asked by the sophomores to explain that the reason they weren't
as "socially prominent" as usual is that they were concentrating on
two great projects Peggy MlcMillan's birthday party and selling
breakfast in bed to those who slept through the breakfast hours
Sunday morning.

Sweetheart Season

Two Emory fraternities had sweetheart functions last weekend.
The PiKA Dream Girl formal was held Friday night at Peachtree
Gardens. Sue Walker, Mary Hood, Liz Craig, Sally Wilt, and Ann
Bowen were among the ones from Agnes Scott who went. Then the
Sigma Chi sweetheart candidates were feted at a tea Saturday, and
Bunny Hall, Helen Haynes, Joanna Solomon, Harriette Griffin, and
Norma Chamblee were there.

The Inter-Fraternity sing was held at Emory Saturday night.
Ann Jones, Margaret Jones, Mary Ann Warnell, Nancy Gay, and sev-
eral others joined in the fun.

And Parties Galore

Tech was its usual gay self over the weekend, not to be outdone by
the Emory festivities. At the Sigma Chi house a Gay Nineties party
was in full swing Saturday night. Patsy Cartledge, Emmie Hay, San-
dra Thomas, Peggy Pfeiffer, Mary Lindsey, Carol Stroud, Judy Peace,
Margaret Burwell, Dee Cundiff, Barbara Fleshman, B. C. George,
and a few more went, while Lynn Lash, Katherine Hanna, Pat Spivey,
Frankie Junker, and Carolyn Bibb went to the Kappa Alpha house
for a party. ,

Comings and Goings

As usual, there were quite a few guests on campus over the week-
end. Peggy Bridges and Margaret Williamson had company from
Davidson, and Louise Robinson had a guest from Queens. Nonette
Brown, Rosalyn Kenneday, and Ann Potts also entertained visitors.
And of course some went home. Jan Varner went to Thomaston,
Ga., and Betty Stein and Harriet Durham went to Americus. Addie
Steans and Carol Tye went to Albany ("a' suburb of Americus") for
the weekend and drove down to Cairo Saturday for Margie May-
field's wedding.

And Pinnings

We would like to announce that:

Mary Holland has been pinned by a PiKA.

Anne Sylvester has an ATO pin.

Pat Stanley received a Theta Chi pin.

Just Ein Old Story
Mit Original Moral

By Jane Landon

Dis ist ein fairy tale, in die orig-
inal German. Wunce* upon ein
Timer, der was eine gute girle
namen Goldilochs, und she lived
mit her Mutter in ein ranch type
bungalow mitout der ranch. Und
70, Goldilochs hatte no place to
playen.

Wun day Goldilochs goes in
dem woods to playen, und der ist
eine cute cottage, mit der door
open.

It zo happens dat drei (three)
friendlich bears liven in der hous-
en, but dem is gone for ein walken
while der porrich cools. Goldi-
lochs goes in die cottage and looks
around. "Ah," denke she, "here ist
ein gute housen. Ich (I) will play-
en here, und down she sitz in ein
cute chair.

But der chair ist too hart.
"Ach," she says, "dis modern fur-
niture."

Und she sitz in anutter chair,
but dis ist too softe. "Bad for
mein spine," she says.

Und denn she sitz in die little
chair, but it breks. "Cheap stuf-
fen," she says.

Denn she sees die porrich, und
tries it outen. Die big bowlen
was too hot, die medium bowlen
was too cold, but die little bowlen
was just richt, zo she eats it up.

Denn she goes up die staircasen
and finds drei beds. The big und
medium beds were nicht, but
dis little bed ist greaten, so she
goes to sleepy townig.

But zoon die drei bears kommen
home und see dat der porrich is
gone, der chair is broken, and
wenn they go up die staircasen,
der ist Goldilochs asleep in dem
bedden. They screamen.

Goldilochs jumps outen der bed,
shouts, "Ich bin fun," # and runs
home to her ranch type house
mitout der ranch und no place to
playen.

Juniors Push into Spotlight,
Frosh Add to Winning Streak

By Carolyn Wells

The basketball race changed complexion last Friday as the
freshmen and juniors registered victories over the sopho-
mores and seniors, 32-21 and 20-16. The initial tilt thrust
a new contender for the title into the spotlight, the juniors,
making it well known that they, too, are in the fight to the
finish.

The seniors, too, indicated plen-
ty of spirit and determination,
giving the stronger third year
team a tough scrap.

Led by versatile Mary Beth
Robinson, the senior team sank
the first basket to take an early
2-0 lead. Excellent floor play by
Vallie Burnet, Julie Grier, and
Jackie Josey dominated the game
for the juniors. In the first half
the juniors completely outplayed
their foes to lead at intermission
16-4.

In the final period the senior
guards dug in and held the sharp-
shooting juniors to two goals,
while their partner forwards ran
rings around the junior guards to
swish the nets for six baskets.

Betsy Hodges showed the most
improvement on the senior team,
blocking several would-be baskets,
well.

Florrie Fleming displayed fine
control in bringing the ball up
the court to the junior forwards.

The freshman-sophomore game
was a repetition of the initial
fight on a larger scale. Blasting
through the soph defense with
terrific force, the freshman bas-
keteers hit from every angle to
jump to an early 13-3 lead.

Mary Dean and Louisa Allen
played basketball a la Madison
Square Gardens, collecting 30 of
the total 32 points between them.

Dora Jean Wilkinson displayed
exceptional coordination guarding
the scrappy soph forwards. After
the first few minutes of playing

the game became a tit-for-tat af-
fair, Libby Wilson and M. E.
Knight faking, passing and shoot-
ing -basket-for-basket with* the
frosh forward combinations.

Donna McGinty worried the op-
ponents constantly, breaking up
plays and passing accurately to
teammates Evelyn Mason and
Carolyn Wells to pull the sophs
out of further danger.

The freshmen played an excel-
lent game, exhibiting some of the
best basketball talent seen in
Bucher Scott since the days of
Robarts-Reddles-Strozier.

Next Friday the seniors and
sophs meet at 4, and the juniors
and freshmen clash at 4:30.

By Carolyn Crawford

The Agnes Scott Dance group
under the direction of Miss Eu-
genie Dozier, dance instructor,
will make its first public appear-
ance this year in Presser hall,
Feb. 17, at 8 p. m. The first half
of the program will be selected
numbers from Tschaikovsky's

representative of the American
people.

turne," "Saturday Night Waltz,"
and "Hoe-Down" are developed
from western folk tunes. The

'Notes and Comment'

In "Notes and Comment" in the July 3, 1943, issue of "The
New Yorker," E. B. White wrote a treatise on democracy. On
this day before Lincoln's birthday while the United States
is engaged in another war against undemocratic powers
and skeptics ask "For what are you fighting?", we thought
it appropriate to reprint this amusing, though penetrating
paragraph. P. S.

"We received a letter from the Writer's War Board the
other day asking for a statement on "The Meaning of De-
mocracy.' It presumably is our duty to comply with such a
request, and it is certainly our pleasure.

"Surely the Board knows what democracy is. It is the
line that forms on the right. It is the don't in don't shove.
It is the hole in the stuffed shirt through which the sawdust
slowly trickles; it is the dent in the high hat. Democracy is
the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people
are right more than half of the time. It is the feeling of pri-
vacy in the voting booths, the feeling of communion in the
libraries, the feeling of vitality everywhere.

"Democracy is a letter to the editor. Democracy is the
score at the beginning of the ninth. It is an idea which hasn't
been disproved yet, a song the words of which have not gone
bad. It's the mustard on the hot dog and the cream iji the
coffee. Democracy is a request from a War Board, in the
middle of a morning in the middle of a war, wanting to
know what democracy is."

Junior Class Crowns Elin;
Sophs Capture Skit Contest

By Joyce Munger

As the entire cast of the 1953 Junior Joint sang the finale,
"This Is My Country," EJin Krohn-Erickson of Bergen, Nor-
way, was crowned Miss Liberty. Not only the juniors, but
also the whole campus, were thrilled that Elin won the tra-
ditional contest for the queen of Junior Joint. The other
class queens were Carol Edwards,
senior; Sarah Petty, sophomore;;
and Norma Chamblee, freshman.

While excitement over Junior
Joint increased and the pleas from
class money chairmen became
more and more urgent as Satur-
day approached, the amount of
money began to climb. Nobody
realized quite how high it would
mount until Jackie Josey, presi-
dent of the junior class, an-
nounced after the skits that $1,-
713.85 had been contributed for
W. S. S. F. and the Greek war'
orphans. Out of this the juniors,
the smallest class numerically,
had scraped together $730.33 in
their enthusiasm to have Elin win
the crown. The sophomores came
in second with $571.10

in the gym no once could have
failed to guess the theme of Ju-
nior Joint. The backdrop depict-
ing typical scenes of the various
sections of America reflected the
skill and effort of Katherine Hef-
ner and her committee. "Glory
Be!" covered American history
from 1493 to 1953. In an hour
and a half a sweeping review of
four and a half centuries was
made, although the juniors do
not advise the history students to
use all the facts revealed at Ju-
nior Joint on any History 215
test.

The introductory, "It Happened
in America," and "In the Begin-
ning," an Indian dance preceded
the skits and gave a setting for
the rest of the program.

"The Courtship of Miles Out-
landish," the seniors' parody of
Miles Standish, starred Rosalyn
Kennedy, Donna Dugger, and
Lilla Kate Parramore. Keller
Henderson made a hit as "Hum-
mon" Talmadge. The freshman
skit, "Westward Ho Ho," took

Elin Krohn-Erickson

place near Techsas and Emory-
zona. The Pony Depressed and
Muntz TP were outstanding hu-
morous touches. Mary Anne War-
nell almost got caught smoking
without permission from home,
even if it was only a peace pipe.

The sophs won the skit contest
with "Georgia Crackles," or "The
Burning of Atlanta." Two de-
vices which helped them win
were their rhyming lines and their
stage props, including a streetcar
named Desire, as they concluded
that "The Union suits."

The juniors added the last gay
touches to the 1953 Junior Joint
as Caroline Lester and Jim Rich-
ardson sang a duet, "Make a
Miracle," representing the Gay
Nineties. This was followed by
the Roaring Twenties' Charleston,
danced by Vallie Burnet, Marji
Henderson, Eleanor Hutchinson,

Mabel Milton, and Betty Stein.
Marilyn Vance and Les Work-
man brought the program up to
present times with their graceful
dance representing 1953.

At this point the queen was an-
nounced, and the finale followed
with "This Is My Country."

The judges of the skits, Dr.
Margaret Deschamps, assistant
professor of history, Dr. William
Joe Frierson, professor of chem-
istry, and Miss Roxie Hagopian,
associate professor of music,
chose the sophomore skit, "Geor-
gia Crackles," as the winninig
skit.

The Junior Joint program was
followed by an informal dance
to the music of Ralph Mays' com-
bo. Mrs. Stratton Story, instruc-
tor in physical education; Dr.
William Calder, professor of phy-
sics and astronomy; and Miss
Nancy Groseclose, assistant pro-
fessor of biology, were the chap-
e rones.

Born in Troy, Ala., Lawrence
L. Gellerstedt was educated at
State Normal college at Troy.

He was with Farmers and Mer-
chants National Bank of Troy un-
til 1914 when he became the state
bank examiner of Alabama. Later
Mr. Gellerstedt was a national
bank examiner in the East. In
1927 he came to Atlanta with Cit-
izens and Southern National bank,

Mr. Gellerstedt is vice chair-
man of the Fulton-DeKalb Hos-
pital Authority, a member of the
advisory board of the Salvation
Army, past president of the At-
lanta Chamber of Commerce, pres-
ident of the Georgia Baptist
Foundation, and the Southern
Baptist Foundation, trustee of the
Atlanta Art association, and past
chairman of the board of deacons
of the Druid Hills Baptist church.

Mr. Gellerstedt has been close-
ly connected with Agnes Scott, for
his daughter and daughter-in-law
are both graduates of the college.

The Agnes Scott trustee char-
ter was changed in order to admit
to the board non-Presbyterian
members, and Mr. Gellerstedt was
the first one chosen. He is the
only Baptist who has ever been
on our board of trustees. He has

Lawrence L. Gellerstedt

served on the finance and build-
ings and grounds committees.

The campus sees Mr. Gellerstedt
often because he is one of the
most faithful trustees in attend-
ing school events and meetings
aside from trustee duties.

Spinning the Patter

Agnes Scott Turns Cold
For 'Glory Be Weekend

By CAROL JONES

After a big weekend like the one just past, I can speak for the
juniors, at any rate, with some assurance in saying "Glory Be! Itl's
over!" It was wonderful while it lasted, but now we can go back to
school!

Any attempt to list the out-of-town guests would only lead to
starting something I couldn't possibly finish. For two days the cam-
pus really looked as if it belonged to a coed institution! And wasn't
it fun? The whole weekend, from dashing around frantically Sat-
urday afternoon taking care of last minute details to saying the last
goodbyes Sunday night, was one which will long stand out in the
memories of rroany of us. Maybe some of the things that happened
made as deep an impression on the prospective students who were
on campus over the weekend as they did on us and we hope that
some OTHER things DIDN'T. (We couldn't help it if Deleware DID
fall off the wall!)

Our warmest congratulations go to our Junior Joint Queen, Elin
Krohn-Erickson, who was certainly "every inch" a queen when she
walked out on the stage during the finale.

The dance after the program Saturday night was well attended,
and everyone seemed to enjoy dancing to Ralph Mays' music. Al-
thougs it isn't possible to mention everyone who slaved and gave
practically their life's blood to bring us the "brighter side of his-
tory," I'd like to congratulate the over-all chairmen, juniors Vallie
Burnet and Jane Dandon, on a howling suceess!

Other Features Don't Go 'Way!

Other bug things happened over the weekend which were not to-
tally eclipsed by our own party. The Emory SAE's had a formal
Friday night at the Druid Hills Country club, which Barbara West,
Beth Dugan, Martha Crowell, and Fran Jones attended. And Lucy
Murray, Adeline Steans, Bunny Hall, Kitten Cumbee, Marilyn Vance,
Betty McFarland, Ann DeWitt, Mary Ann Warnell, Sue Peterson,
and Judy Welch went to the formal which the Emory Chi Phi's had
Friday at the East Lake Country club.

Since the last edition of the News, two weeks ago, Joan Simmons
has been pinned by a Sigma Chi, Judy McDaniel by a Phi Delta
Theta, and Mary Anna Fesler by a K. A.

Emory Students

The gym will be the scene of a
gala affair tonight when Ag-
nes Scott's badminton enthusiasts
entertain some of the Emory
students (female). After play-
ing doubles and singles matches,
the participants will enjoy deli-
cious refreshments served by the
hostesses.

Agnes Scott's athletes are fol-
lowing a precedent started by
Emory who invited them over to
their campus last year. It is
hoped that the gathering will be-
come an annual affair.

All participants in the badmin-
ton tournament are urged by
Barbara Kelly, manager, to play
off their matches as soon as pos-
sible in order not to interfere
with activities during Religious
Emphasis Week. The date for
the finals has been set for
March 3.

Look Who's Sneezing
Or, Quick! The Hypo

By Jane Landon

An all-over tired feeling, a pair of running eyes, a cough,
a sore throat, a fever, a general "so what if I never pass
another quiz" attitude, and last of all, a u so what if I never
date again" feeling are the progressive stages of the cur-
rently thriving malady called flu, virus "X," and other
popular arbitrary names. Since

medical science has never actual-
ly pinned down the cause of this
condition which is plaguing the
country, we can give but one word
of advice concerning avoiding this
illness, and we quote Dr. Stukes,
"Don't come into unncessary con-
tacts with strangers."

Now, with this warning over,
we should probably continue with
the assumption that a good per-
centage of us have had or will
soon have the flu.

Therefore, a strategical move
would be to discuss calmly and
intelligently how each one of us
can make the most of our own ill-
ness, whether it be in the past,
present, or future.

For those who have already
passed the critical stages, here
are a few leads:

(1) Restore your ego by telling
your friends how brave you were
during the crisis, how you came
through the ordeal without- tosinj^
a bit of self-control.

(2) Use your absence as an ex-
cuse for not handing in papers,
preparing for quizzes, or answer-
ing questions in class.

(3) If you usually look like
something the cat dragged in
anyway ,this condition may sud-
denly be converted into ethereal
frailty if attributed to a week in
the infirmary.

If you are sick now, then you
are really in luck:

(1) Friends can be made to
feel obligated to send candy, flow-
ers, and poetry if you handle the
situation tactfully.

(2) Your male friends may de-
cide that you will really deserve

a night out on the town when you
get well, IF you let them know
now that you're sick.

(3) Have a good rest, and don't
worry relax now, for exams
begin sooner than you think!

If you're in the class who has
escaped so far, don't rest on your
laurels:

(1) You may take a chance
that you will be sick (if you're
daring enough), and go to a flick
instead of working on that term
paper.

(2) Have your radio fixed it
will be good company in the in-
firmary, and take a deck of cards
along. There will be plenty of
bridge partners.

(3) If you are a sophomore,
take a pencil and paper along.
You may have time to start work
on next year's Junior Joint.

(4) For now, get plenty of
sleep, fresh, air and Sunshine,
<?nd don't let studying interfere
with the simple rules of good
health, i . '

Moral: It ain't as cheap to get
rid or fin as it, used to be, so start
saving your pennies.

Freshmen Take Fourth Victory
As Juniors Swish by Sophs

By Carolyn Wells

The powerful freshman team continued its winning streak
last Friday, overpowering the seniors in a runaway game,
43-21. Paced by tiny Harriett Griffin and dependable DorS
Wilkinson, the infant class rode easily past their elders to |
extend their victory record to four triumphs against no
defeats. The freshmen, who sub-

dued the juniors the week before,
34-23, indicated great teamwork
and passing skill, especially
among the offensive attackers.

For the seniors, Mary Beth
Robinson matched freshman skill
basket for basket, collecting 16
points during the performance.
Mary Lindsey, Ann Baxter, and
Barbara West played well defen-
sively, feeding the ball to their
forwards to set up several scor-
ing plays.

The junior team defeated the
sophomores in the more thrilling
game of the day, 30-27, as for-
ward Jackie Josey swished the
net for the tying and winning
points in the final seconds of the
game. The sophs, who downed
the seniors the previous week, led
their rivals throughout the game,
maintaining a 17-11 lead <at the
half.

But the determined juniors,
spurred by half-time pep talks
and the inspired playing of the
entire sextet, steadfastly poured
the ball through, the basket to
catch and pass their fighting -bp-

ponents. Hitting the basket with
incredible accuracy, Jackie cop-
ped scoring honors for the day
with 18 big junior tallies.

Julie Grier and Vallie Burnet
drove for the shooting area time
and again; Harriette Potts, Mitzi
Kiser and Florrie Fleming turned
in sterling defensive exhibition.
M. E. Knight dominated soph of-
fensive play throughout the game
as she and forward teammates
Mickey Scott and Libby Wilson
executed some dazzlinig shots.

Betty Ann Jacks was the main
defensive thorn in the juniors'
sides, intercepting, feinting, and
passing with lightning speed.

Next Friday the seniors meet
the juniors, and the first-place
frosh tangle with the second-year
team.

In the winning: Junior Joint skit last Saturday night, sophomores "Anhabelle" (Jo Anne Hall) and
"Mary Lou" (Kitten Cumbee) catch the Decatur streetcar as the Yankees approach.

Jebb Appeals For
Support of U. N.

By Priscilla Sheppard

With a strong appeal for a re-
newal of faith in the United Na-
tions organization, Sir Gladwyn
Jebb, permanent British repre-
sentative to the U. N., addressed
a large audience of Agnes Scott
students, faculty and friends in
Presser hall last Thursday night
on the subject "The United Na-
tions in the World."

In a decidedly guarded speech,
the diplomat also faithfully out-
lined the usual British position on
the Korean war, British trade
with Communist China, and even-
tual self-government for depen-
dent territories.

Although he declared that the
"United Nations is not an organ-
ization which by itself can insure
the peace of the world," Sir Glad-
wyn pointed out that the U. N. is
"not absolutely powerless." Sev-
eral times he said that it would
be "ludicrous" if the opposition
of the Soviet representatives
could inspire the other nations to
abandon the U. N. He noted that
if Russia and her satellites were
to withdraw, the U. N. might col-
lapse and Russian cooperation
with the west would be imperiled.

Sir Gladwyn said that the U. N.
is the only place where the free
world can argue with the Stalin-
ists. Although he admitted that

ond play of the "Oresteia" trilogy,
which deals with the murder of
King Agememnon of Argos by his
treacherous wife, Clytemnestra
and the attempt of Orestes, son of
this pair, to avenge his father's
murder in accordance with the de-
mands of Aeschylean retributive
justice.

Aeschylus based his drama upon
the legend of the ill-fated House
of At reus. Atreus and his broth-
er, Thyestes, bitter enemies, per-
formed horrible deeds against
each other and by their actions
brought a curse upon their line.
The sons of Atreus are Agamem-
non and Menelaus, husband of

Art League Invites
Campus to Hoedown

The Art Students league is
sponsoring a hoedown on campus
this Saturday night and every-
one is invited. The "hoedown"
will include round and square
dancing.

Those who would like blind
dates are requested to see Jane
Dalhouse or Mary Beth Robinson.
The dance will be in the gym from
8 p. m. till 11 p. m.

Tickets will be on sale at 75
cents per couple in Buttrick lob-
by from 9:30 a. m. - 1:00 p. m.
Wednesday through Saturday.
They will also be available at the
door.

Helen of Trojan fame. When
Helen is carried off by Paris the
sons of Atreus go to war against
Troy and the curse begins to
work. In order that the Greek
expedition may get under way-
Agamemnon sacrifices his daugh-
ter and thereby incurs the undy-
ing hatred of Clytemnestra. She
with the aid of her lover, Aegis-
thes, son of Thyestes, kills him
immediately upon his triumphant
return home from the war.

"The Choephori" opens with the
royal daughter, Electra, and a
chorus of libation-bearers attend-
ing to the grave of Agamemnon.
Orestes, secretly returned from
exile, enters and formulates with
Electra the plans that lead to
the murder of their mother and
Aegisthus. Aeschylus, tracing a
conception of justice in the tril-
ogy, has Orestes visited by the
Furies at the end of this play, for
although the son has been com-
manded to take his mother's life
by Apollo, matricide is a crime of
maddening proportions.

"The Oresteia" has been judged
the masterpiece of Aeschylus, and
"The Choephori" is certainly a
powerful and unifying link in the
course of the dramatic events.

McCain Looks To Fulfillment
Of Founder's Early Dreams

On Sunday, Feb. 22, Agnes Scott will observe another Founder's
Day, and on that day all over the United States and in many for-
eign countries alumnae will remember the college and the ideals it
represents. On this occasion we thought it appropriate to ask the
President Emeritus of Agnes Scott to write a gnest editorial for
this sixty-fourth birthday celebration of Agnes Scott College Ed.

When Col. George W. Scott, Dr. Frank H. Gaines, Miss
Nannette Hopkins, and their associates started Agnes Scott
in 1889, they put down as item number one in their pro-
gram "a liberal curriculum fully abreast of the best institu-
tions in this country." It was a dream, for the school was
only of grammar grade in studies; but the dream persisted
as high school work was added and as the college became
a reality in 1906. Through all these years, faculty and stu-
dents and alumnae have joined with the trustees in the de-
termination that on our campus we will have an institution
of the highest quality in all academic matters and dedicated
to the glory of God.

Excellence in scholarship is of the head and heart, but in
this practical age we know that it must have housing and
equipment, and endowment is needful in order that we se-
cure and hold the best teachers. Thirty years ago there
were about 50 colleges for women in this country with bet-
ter plants and endowment than Agnes Scott. Ten years ago
the number of those definitely ahead of us had been reduced
to a dozen. Perhaps now there are a half-dozen ahead of us
in both endowment and plants. Of course there are many
colleges for men and many coeducational ones that are quite
ahead of us, too.

President Alston has asked the trustees of our day to
dream with him of September 24, 1964, when the 75th an-
niversary may be observed, and the dream is that possibly
we may be at the very top of colleges for women rn materi-
al things and in the maintenance of our four-fold ideal. It
is not that we care to be ahead of any others, but we must
be restless in spirit until the earliest dream of our founders
is fully realized.

All of us will join Dr. Alston in glad cooperation as his
plans are developed and as we are given the opportunity to
show again the wonderful spirit of Agnes Scott.

College Poll Shows
Student Pessimism

Students consulted in a recent
nation-wide Associated Collegiate
Press poll are overwhelmingly
against members' of the Commu-
nist party teaching in the nation's
colleges, but they're somewhat in
favor of teaching jobs for former
Communists.

Results of the first question,
"Do you think avowed Communist
party members should be allowed
on college faculties?" are as fol-
lows: Yes, 9 per cent; no, 85 per
cent; no opinion, 4 per cent; oth-
er, 2 per cent.

The few students who say "yes"
usually qualify it. "Communist
teachers should be advertised as
such," says a junior at the Uni-
versity of Nebraska. But a soph-
omore in Law at Phoenix college,
Ariz., says, "No, they should be
shot down like dogs."

"It would be," declares a co-
ed at Trinity college, D. C, "like
permitting gangsters to teach
high school boys; corrupt ideals
would be instilled in their
.minds ..."

The second question was, "Do
you think that former members of
the Communist party should be
allowed on college faculties?"

Here are the results: Yes, 45
per cent; no, 39 per cent; no opin-
ion, 9 per cent; other, 7 per cent.

"College students are supposed-
ly old enough to judge for them-
selves." says a senior in Educa-
tion at the University of Idaho.

A freshman at California State
Teachers college. Cal., states, "I
would like to hear lectures from
a Communist, just for interest."
She adds, "I am not a Commu-

nist."

Many students think former
Communists would be good teach-
ers because, as one student puts
it, "They would know both sides."

An ACP survey last winter in-
dicated that the majority of stu-
dents were against loyalty oaths
for college professors. The fig-
ures were: Approve, 39 per cent;
disapprove, 47 per cent. Seventy-
three per cent of the graduate
students disapproved.

In the present survey, 60 per
cent of the graduate students are
in favor of college teaching jobs
for former Communists.

ACP Gives Results
Of Nation-wide Poll

College students expressed lit-
tle hope of either a speedy end
to the Korean war or of peace be-
tween Russia and the United
States in a survey taken by the
ACP National Poll of Student
Opinion in December. Students
across the nation, including a
cross section of Agnes Scott stu-
dents, were asked, "Do you think
the Korean war will be over with-
in six months?"

The results: Yes, 5 per cent;
no, 82 per cent; no opinion, 10
per cent; other, 3 per cent.

Students were also asked, "How
do you feel about chances for a
peaceful settlement of differences
between Russia and the United
States?" Here are the answers:
Chances are good, 3 per cent;
chances are fair, 27 per cent;
chances are poor, 54 per cent; no
chances, 12 per cent; no opinion,
4 per cent.

In a Student Opinion poll tak-
en one year ago the same ques-
tion was asked. At that time
only 45 per cent of those inter-
viewed said "Chances are poor."

Most students lay both the Ko-
rean war and Cold war at Rus-
sia's doorstep. "Russia is not look-
ing for peace but for power," says
a junior from Mount Mary col-
lege, Milwaukee.

And a Purdue university stu-
dent sees "no chance" for peace
"unless there is a civil war in
Russia."

An engineering student at the
Citadel in Charleston, S. C, com-
ments on Korea, *i'The situation
should toe turned over to the mil-
itary entirely; 'statesmen' have
already blundered away two years
in Korea."

"There will be no compromise,"
says a sophomore coed from Regis
college, Mass. "Either Russia or
the United States will be the vic-
tor."

Those who feel there is still a
chance for peace, tend to pin their
hopes on a revolution in the So-
viet Union and its satellites; So-
viet fear of Western power; U.
S. "patience and diplomacy:" Ei-
senhower; and "a turning back,"
as one student puts it, "to reli-
gion and God."

But a coed at Trinity college,
D. C, sums up the feeling of many
students when, having granted
there's a chance for peace, she
adds, "But it will take a miracle."

With his great interest in edu-
cation Dr. Dendy is a valuable
member of the Board of Trustees.

Spinning the Patter

Weekend Brings Formats,
Valentines To Busy Scotties

By GENNY LUCCHESE, Guest Editor

"Make hay while the sun shines" (or to be more specific while
exams are still three weeks away) seems to have been the motto
for this weekend.

Valentine's Day arrived in its traditional whirl of red roses, or-
chids, and big candy boxes but Sue Peterson, Mary Beth Robinson,
and Roberta Williams eclipsed us all with their brand 'new diamonds,
and Alice Nunnally's Theta Chi pin (Tech) caused great excitement
in Rebekah.

Many Agnes Scotters deserted the Sheltering Arms Friday night
to celebrate at Emory's Valentine Formal. Carolyn Alford, Frances
Ginn, Jane Davidson, Lois Dryden, Barbara Ward, Norma Chamblee,
Frankie Junker, Jane Johnson, Jean Drumheller, Jan Varner, Mary
Ann Warnell, and Peggy Bridges were among those attending.

Emory's Delta Sigma Delta's (dental fraternity) held their for-
mal Friday night, too, and Keller Henderson, Betty Stein, Anne
Lowrie Alexander and Betsy Hodges were there.

The Emory Sigma Chi's had a big weekend for rushees with a
house dance Friday night and a. square dance at Wall's Barn on
Saturday. Helping the brothers make a good impression were Caro-
line Lester, Ginny Lee Floyd, Joan Simmons, Lynn Lash, Vivian
Hays, Bunny Hall, Lucy Murray, and Harriet te Griffin.

The ATO's furnished another attraction at Emory Friday night.
Addie Steans, Diana Butler, Peggy MacMillan, Lib McPheeters, Lib
Flynn, Mary Land, Carol Tye, Ducky Green, Guerry Graham, Ruth
Posey, and Betty McFarland attended their Orchid Ball preceded
by a banquet, and topped off the evening with a breakfast at the
house.

Over at Tech, the Sigma Chi-KA formal drew Vallie Burnet, Har-
riette Potts, Elin Krohn-Erichsen, Dora Wilkinson, Eleanor Estes,
Peggy Pfeiffer, Zo Anderson, Shirley Simpson, Emmy Hay, Barbara
Battle, and Barbara Kelly, while Joann Barrett, Margi Henderson,
Anne Sayre, and Martha Dickert went to the house dance the
Delta Tau Delta's gave.

But the Party of the Week was the exclusive Artist's Ball right
here on campus. The place was the "lower regions" of Murphey
Candler and the ladies were attired in blue jeans and carried paint
brushes. Among those attending this select affair were Marion Ten-
nenf, Jerry Cunningham, Jeanne Levie, Carolyn Tinklepaugh, Hel-
en Moutos, Lib Grafton, Letty Grafton, Mabel Milton, Lynn Johnston,
Helen Mefaowan, JoAnne McCarthy, Marjie Fordham, and Brownie
Williams. From all reports the guests enjoyed themselves immense-
ly, and if a few emerged with blue tinged hair ,and if a certain ju-
nior is sporting a well sprained finger . . . well, what of such trifles.

London Fills Space

By Jane Landon

I planned not to write a column
this week in an effort to deter-
mine whether the circulation
would drop after a week without
these words of wisdom. But Pris
hastily assured me that so many
people would ask that the News
be left out of their boxes because
they had been unable to find one
person's byline (good old tactful
editor), that I picked up my sag-
ging ego and dashed off this ex-
ample of what newspaper people
thoughtlessly call a "filler."

A filler is composed of interest-
ing but sometimes obscure tidbits
which serve only to fill up space
in the paper. BUT it takes know-
how to know how to choose ma-
terial for a filler.

For instance, one could include
a paragraph from a chemistry
book: "Phenyl hydroxy lamine can
be oxidized to nitrosobenzene by
the action of aqueous cromic acid,
and this is perhaps the best meth-
od of preparing the nitroso com-
pound."

Now it may come as a shock to
the chemistry majors, but not ev-
eryone gets a thrill from prepar-
ing phenylhydroxylamine.

Another approach is through
listing state mottos, found easily
in any reputable almanac, e. g.

North Carolina: "To be rather
than to seem;" West Virginia:
"Mountaineers are always free
men;" and Michigan, "If thou
seekest a beautiful penninsula,
behold it here." Interesting, huh?

Old archaic holidays are some-
times elaborated upon, such as
Valentine's Day (recently judged
archaic because of the lack of
response received here).

Also, did you know that in
1940 California led all other states
in the production of asparagus,
cauliflower, celery, and musk-
melons ?

A suggestion before we part:
The next time you have a chance,
please donate a pint of blood to
the Red Cross. Really, it doesn't
hurt a bit, the orange juice they
serve afterwards is delicious, and
one pint of blood can save a life.

Jebb Cites Accomplishments of U. N.

(Continued from page 1)
the communists have made use of
the Us N. for spreading their
propaganda, the speaker pointed
out that the West also uses the
U. N. for the same purpose.

On the Korean war, the diplo-
mat expressed his view that if the
U. N. had not existed, "it is ques-
tionable if the United States
would have resisted the Korean
aggression." He then remarked
that the will to resist aggression
still dominates the U. N.," and
that America must still take the
lead.

Answering critics who accuse
Britain and France of shirking
their duty in Korea, Sir Gladwyn
said that both countries had few-
er resources than the United
States and that both were involv-
ed in fighting communism else-
where, Britain in Malaya and
France in Indochina.

Defends U. N. Employees

The British diplomat took is-
sue with Americans who are in-
clined to condemn the U. N. as a
whole because the recent investi-
gations of U. N. employees have
revealed communists on the pay-
role. Sir Gladwyn said the in-
vestigations were not an attack
on the U. N., "its policies, objec-
tives, or internal affairs." They
were, rather, solely for the pur-
pose of safeguarding the United
States. He pointed out that of
the more than 2000 Americans in
the Secretariat, only 40 or 50 are
even under suspicion, and there is
"no suggestion that the majority
of the Americans in the Secreta-
riat are anything but honest."

Following his replies to criti-
cisms of the U. N. in general, Sir
Gladwyn cited many of the solid
accomplishments of the U. N. in
peaceful settlement of disputes

and in helping underdeveloped na-

In regard to the latter, he de-
clared that Britain was indisput-
ably committed to leading her
own dependent territories "to full
self-government." Yet, he said,
it is a slow process and "we re-
serve to ourselves the right to de-
termine the rate of advance-
ment." He commented that the
U. N. should not interfere in this
matter.

Sir Gladwyn then said that the
Western nations must be on guard
against anti-colonial campaigns
based on race-hatred. He empha-
sized that the U. N. might disin-
tegrate if interference were prac-
ticed.

Declaring that World War III
is not inevitable, the speaker
lauded the strength of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization. Ob-
viously referring to reports that
President Eisenhower is consider-
ing a blockade of the Chinese
mainland, Sir Gladwyn urged cau-
tion in effecting changes in the
Far East. He also quoted Prime
Minister Churchill's statement
that there were worse things than
a stalemate in Korea.''

Calls for Unity

Sir Gladwyn concluded with a
plea for continued Anglo-Ameri-
can unity in building up our col-
lective strength. He expressed his
hope that the free nations would
not be divided by nationalistic de-
sires.

Following the lecture, and a
question period, Sir Gladwyn and
Lady Jebb were the guests at a
reception to which the audience
was invited by Lecture association
chairman Suanne SauerBrun.
President Wlallace M. Alston in-
troduced the speaker.

Freshman Streak to Fifth Win,
Appear To Be ASC Champions

By Carolyn Wells

The senior class came within a hairbreadth of winning
their first game of the '53 basketball season last Friday,
leading the juniors 11-4 at half time and maintaining the
majority of the points during all but the final few moments
of the game. But the juniors, who, for the past two perform-
ances, have exhibited the knack

of coming from behind in the final
moments to cop the game, put on
some hustle at half time and came
roaring back to register a final
20-15 victory. The seniors work-
ed as a team throughout the
game, giving an overall concep-
tion of unified teamwork.

Attackers Mary Beth Robinson,
Barbara West, Anne Thomson
and Sarah Crew Hamilton passed
more accurately and shot with
more ease than at any other time
this season, and Adaline Miller,
Ann Baxter, and Mary Lindsay
did a grand job in holding the
usually highscoring juniors to a
minimum of total points.

The juniors, on the other hand,
seriously crippled by the absence
of net queen Jackie Josey and,
defensively, Florrie Fleming,
.seemed unable to get started until
the final stanza of the perform-
ance. Julie Grier was high scor-
er for the game, collecting 14
points.

The freshmen assured them-
selves of the basketball crown
by defeating the sophomore team.
37-17. As the ratings stand at
present, the freshmen are unde-
feated, having won all five games;
the juniors are in second place,
but are unable to overtake the
frosh steamroller, even should
they win Friday, having taken
only three of their five; the sophs
are third and, should they win
Friday and the juniors lose, will
be tied with them for second place
at the end of the season, having
captured two victories of five;
and the seniors are in fourth
place, having won no games so
far in the season.

The efficient and accurate of-
fensive play of frosh players Lou-
isa Allen and Betty Richardson
provided the terrific impetus to
drop basket after basket through
the net, as the forward attack av-
eraged 10 points a quarter to com-

second-year team trailed at half-
time 20-6, but caught fire in the
second half to gather 11 points

Freshman guard May Muse was

AS Students Donate
To Flood ReliefFund

In response to an appeal from
flood-devastated Europe, the stu-
dents of Agnes Scott College will
donate $150 for relief from the
Junior Joint collection, Pat Pat-
terson, student treasurer, an-
nounced last week in student
meeting. Representative council
made the decision to divide the
Junior Joint proceeds among
flood relief, the World Student
Service fund, and the Greek war
orphan.

Lower house has presented to
the college a new sewing machine
to replace the worn-out old one.
The new machine is located on the
second floor of Murphey Candler
and all students are welcome to
use it.

Student government has also
given $100 to be used for redecor-
ating the day student room and
the smoker. Lower house has also
given $50 for the project. Com-
mitees have been appointed for
buying materials, painting, and
sewing, and work has already be-
gun. They plan to cover the chairs
and sofas with gay, colorful ma-
terials and to paint the rooms.

Travel in Europe' Bug Bites
Poyerty-Stricken Reporter

By Your Travel Reporter

The beat, beat, beat of the torn toms. Oh no! That's the
wrong way to begin one of those "let's travel" stories, you
know let's hither away to far away places with strange
sounding names (or is that a song?) Anyway my problem
is a very simple one. I want to go to Europe but lack the

where-withal.

So far I have grabbed every pos-
sible chance, begged and pleaded.
First my parents. But no! My
father is a dyed in the wool iso-
lationist, having favored the pol-
icy of ignoring foreign countries
ever since the frightening day in
grammar school when he discov-
ered that there were such things.
He's never forgiven them for be-
ing there and making him flunk
the first grade.

He's also Scotch and has a
much higher view of my working
this summer and supporting the
family.

As for mother, she's not sure
which is the Atlantic and which
is the Pacific. From movie mag-
azines, however, she is rapidly ac-
quiring a knowledge of what gla-
mor queen snagged what mahara-
jah.

In desperation I made it known
that I was willing to give the
benefit of my company to any de-
serving soul who desired to pay
all expenses. I only asked for a
few hundred on the side for
strictly personal expenses. No
takers.

I next let it be known that I
was willing to accept a gift of
$2000, no questions asked. An ex-

cellent way to get rid of the filthy
lucre. Again, no takers.

Then the great day came. An
angel in the form of a personable
young man spoke in chapel on
the glories of work camps. My
spirits soared. I could see my-
self working with peoples of all
nations side by side, digging peat
in Yugoslavia, say. while enlight-
ening the poor peons on the glo-
ries of capitalism.

Then a shadow passed over my
joy. I am a delicate, fragile
creature. Visions of myself brown
and hardy faded. What of my
sensitive nature ? I might be mis-
understood by uncouth workers.
Besides I flunked every language
course I ever took.

I long for the inspiration of
new horizons, the thrill of con-
tact with foreign peoples. But
perhaps Europe is not for me. I
would probably get seasick, or
fall out of a gondola, or be made
new French premier.

'53 Season Ends with Bang,
As Varsity Trounces Brenau

By Carolyn Wells

The sharp-shooting Agnes Scott varsity and sub-varsity
teams ended the 1953 basketball season last Friday night as
they soundly trounced the fighting six from Brenau college,
52-21. The game, played under the bright lights of Bucher
Scott gym, began with a bang; the dead-eye shooting of var-
sity forwards .Louisa Allen and
Harriett Griffin built up a com-
fortable margin during the ini-
tial moments of play which the
Hottentots rode safely through-
out the rest of the game. Back-
ed by the stellar guarding of Har-
riette Potts, Donna McGinty, and
Carolyn Wells, the Agnes Scott
offensive, displayed some of the
best teamwork seen during the
entire season.

Forward Mary Dean was es-
pecially effective off pivot posi-
tion, culling 12 points for the
home team. Louisa Allen was
even more accurate than usual,

MARY BETH ROBINSON

astounding spectators and oppon-
ents alike with her net-swishing
set shots to run her season's total
to a beautiful 125 in seven games,
average 18 points per perform-
ance.

Louisa has played with preci-
sion during the whole season,
striking observers in particular
with the "explosive calm" charac-
teristic of her court actions. Pe-
tite Harriett Griffin, another fab-
ulous frosh, gave her opposition
that peculiar "all-over" feeling as
she faked, jumped, and scamper-
ed into impossible openings in
every imaginable spot on the
court to superbly confound her
guards. Harriett's accurate pass-
ing attack was especially polish-
ed against Brenau.

Senior Mary Beth Robinson
bowed gracefully from the bas-
ketball court for the last time as
she collected six points on three
eautiful set shots to send "the
score up another notch." Mary
B. will certainly be missed around
the athletic circles next year.
Frosh Sally Shippey filled in well
for injured Libby Wilson, swish-
ing the nets for six points.

Defensively, a big bunch of "vio-
lets" goes to junior Harriette
Potts for her excellent game. She
appeared to the Brenau^forwards
as the main part of a "most of-
fensive" defensive. It goes with-
out saying that the pride of the
soph class, Donna McGinty, play-

Illinois Political Scientist
To Speak Here April 1

Dr. Walter B. Posey announced
this week that "Communism" will
be the subject of the lecture K to
be given by Dr. Francis G. Wil-
son in Maclean auditorium on
April i. Dr. Wilson is professor of
political science at the University
of Illinois.

He will be brought to Atlanta
under the auspices of the Univer-
sity Center.

Lower House Head
is Honor Student

Judy Promnitz, an outstanding
leader of the junior class, was tap-
ped last night by the 1953 chap-
ter of Mortar Board to head the
1953-54 chapter. Judy, a day stu-
dent from Atlanta, will bring to
her new position her proven abil-
ity to excel in leadership, schol-
arship and service. This year she
has served as chairman of Lower
house of Student government,
having previously been a repre-
sentative to Executive committee
during her sophomore year also.

She has been on the honor roll
for two years and she is at pres-
ent the Agnes Scott representa-
tive to National Student associ-
ation. She attended the national
convention last year in Indiana.

The HOASC chapter's method
of chosing the president of Mor-
tar Board for the incoming chap-
ter is unique, Carol Jacob, the
retiring president, has revealed.
The presidents of other groups
throughout the nation are usual-
ly chosen by the incoming chap-
ter, and frequently the president
of Mortar Board may also hold
another major campus office.

The purpose of the Agnes Scott
system is to make the president of
Mortar Boaird ineligible for oth-
er major positions in order that
she may devote all of her energies
to the principal office for which
ihe has been selected.

The other members of the 1953-
54 chapter of Mortar Board will
be revealed in April.

ness of Dimitri Mitropoulos.

duled for March 31 will be replac-
ed with James Melton as guest so-
loist. He will sing popular arias
from "Lucia di Lammermoor" by

Time For Laurels

We have heard a great deal of comment on the policy
change which permitted the faculty to assign tests during
Religious Emphasis week if they fell naturally during that
time. A few students have remarked that they were unable
to participate fully in the week's activities because of an-
nounced quizzes. These persons, however, were in the min-
ority. The consensus seems to be that the larger part of the
student body welcomed the change.

We would, therefore, like to express student appreciation
to C A cabinet was suggested the change. In past years
students have found themselves with tests and papers group-
ed together either the week before or the week after Relig-
ious Emphasis week. When several assignments came dur-
ing the week preceding the special week students had to
spend time scheduled for religious activities in making up
work neglected for tests; if the tests came the next week,
RE week was spent in preparing for them or scholastic ac-
tivities suffered. Under the new system any student can
with intelligent planning, fully take advantage of the spe-
cial week's activities.

We urge, therefore, that CA continue the new policy for
Religious Emphasis weeks in the future. J. S.

Letters to Editor

Dear Madam Editor,

I realize that your paper may
not be the proper place in which
to register my complaint; how-
ever, in writing to you I am cer-
tain that my story will eventu-
ally reach the authorities con-
cerned and by calling public at-
tention to this wrong I hope to
elicit sympathy and support for
this cause.

I refer to a certain practice of
the staff in Letitia Pate Evans
dining hall which has displeased
me, and also a great many other
students who may as yet not have
mentioned their grievances.

For some time now I have been
extremely chagrined by the man-
ner in which the employees of
the dining hall take it upon them-
selves to remove dishes and sil-
verware from a table before all
the persons seated at said table
may have had an opportunity to
finish their meal.

I find this practice extremely
disturbing, distasteful, and unsat-
isfactory in general. Besides toe-
ing so unpleasant, this practice
would seem to be entirely out of
keeping with the standards and
ideals of gracious living set up
for Agnes Scott students and fos-
tered by the students' own Social
committee.

I am well aware that this prac-
tice has not disturbed only me,
for others of my acquaintance
have mentioned it at various
times. They, too, find it distaste-
ful and agree that something

should be done to correct it. I
believe attention has been called
to this subject before, with the
result of no improvement in the
state of affairs in Letitia Pate
Evans hall.

As a student Who pays her
$1200 per annum and as one who
believes that four years of col-
lege need not convert one into an
ill-mannered sloven, I make this
plea for at least an attempt to-
wards gracious living on the Ag-
nes Scott campus.

Yours sincerely,

Irate Student

Dear Editor;

I am one of the disgruntled stu-
dents who have been dismayed ov-
er the library's action in can-
celling magazine subscriptions.

I am not referring to scientific
magazines or ones in foreign lan-
guages or wordy, technical re-
ports or "Parent's Magazine" all
of which seem to be gathering
dust on the shelf. Most of the
magazines now offered seem to
hold an interest for only a few
readers.

My personal peeve (and one
shared by the majority of the stu-
dents) is the lack of "light" read-
ing available. The library should
offer not only research material
but a little diversion. To get
away from deep, soul-searching
novels it should offer a few frills
in the way of periodicals with
short stories, fashions, etc.

With sad and sinking hearts we

If the number of subscriptions

'South Pacific a la London,
Or, 'Maybe Music Will Help

By Jane Landon

For those who have encountered the SRO sign at the Tow-
er theater this past week, and for those who could not
scrape up a swain to voluntarily escort them to "South Pa-
cific" (Yours Truly being included in both categories) # we
now present, with deepest apologies to Messrs. Rogers, Ham-
merstein, Miehener and Logan, an

interpretation of the aforemen-
tioned play, entitled "North Chat-
tahoochee."

As the curtain opens we see a
tanned, tawny girl called "Ruddy
Mary" sitting on the banks of the
Chattahoochee river, siphoning
the chocolate out of Tootsie Pops.

Suddenly she hears the hearty
"Ahoy" of two amateur yachts-
men who have taken the wrong
turn off of Allatoona Lake and
are now sailing their Y-Flyers up
our famous source of municipal
water supply.

The sailors come ashore and are
promptly entranced by Mary's
rendition of an old school song,
"Bali High." They ask her if she
would like to find another girl
and go out on the town with them.

Mary calls a good friend of hers

chapel, March 26. The student
elections will take place Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday,
April 6, 7, 9, and 10, following

elections will be held as soon as
campus nominations are complet-

named Nellie Fivebush to ask her
if she would like to date the oth-
er sailor, but Nellie is a nurse,
working for an eye doctor, so at
the moment she is at the "Cock-
eyed Optometrist's."

Mary finally gets Nellie on the
phone and after a few minutes of
"Happy Talk" asks her if she
would like to go out. Mary says
that it will be rather late before
they go out because, since she is
by profession a beachcomber, she
has to wash the sand right outa
her hair. Nellie says "Fine," and
the date is set.

The sailors pick the girls up
and take them to a fancy down-
town restaurant run by a French-
man named Emile. Before they
eat, they order a round of grape
juice and sing a rousing chorus
of "This Nearly Was Wine."

Suddenly Emile, the owner,
spies Nellie across a crowded
room, runs over and suggests a
"Honey Bun" for the entree. Nel-
lie immediately falls for the hand-
some proprietor, and makes a
scene in the restaurant by an-
nouncing that she is "In Love
With a Wonderful Guy."

The whole thing is as corny as
Kansas in August, so the two sail-
ors disgustingly report that
"There is Nothing Like a Dame"
and leave for ports unknown
and who knows what adventures
they may find just around the
bend? Happy landings in Phoen-
ix City, boys.

The curtain falls, and so does
my reputation as a playwright.

Scotties Down Brenau Team

(Continued from page 1)
ed, and played well. Donna, acting
captain for the Agnes Scott club,
worried the opposing forwards
constantly, and entirely lived up
to the ability that placed her
on basketball varsity for two con-
secutive years. Frosh May Muse
and junior Joen Fagen upheld
the tight zone defense set up by
the initial defensive trio, main-
taining the "thou shalt not pass"
policy.

The dominant characteristic of
the entire Agnes Scott team, no
matter what combination of play-
ers was on the court, was the
beautiful teamwork and integrat-
ed playing exhibited. The game
was indeed a beauty, and the first
of its kind (against another col-
lege) held at ASC in many years.
The Brenau team, in spite of the
low score, really presented the
home club with some stiff oppo-
sition. Guard Pat Grizzard and
forward Ethyl Scott were out-
standing for the visitors.

SHORT SHOTS. It is common
knowledge that . the infant class
. literally walked off with the
whole basketball season, remain-
ing undefeated, capturing the
crown, and placing five of their
many players on the varsity and
sub-varsity. Just wanted to make
it official . . . The three top scor-
ers for the season: Allen, fresh-
man (125 in seven games); Josey,
junior (57 in five games); and
Robinson, senior (56 in seven
games). The Varsity: Allen,
Muse, McGinty, Griffin, Potts, and
Wells. The Sub-Varsity: Wilson,
Wilkenson, Dean, Fagen, Robin-
son, and Miller.

In the final class games of the
season, Feb. 20, the sophs defeat-
ed the seniors, 3019; the frosh

had a little harder time downing
the juniors, 36-26 . . . The sophs
and juniors tied for second place
and the seniors came in third . . .
Many thanks to Mrs. Nicholas
Lombardy for refereeing our
games this year.

Alumnae Teachers

bers of the Georgia Education

cuss the opportunities for college

Weekend Finds Dorms Empty
As Scotties Head Emory ward

By CAROL JONES

Maybe it was the first signs of spring that did it, or maybe it was
the need of a quiet (!) place to do a little early cramming or late
term paper writing, but whatever it was it certainly did a thorough
job of emptying the dorms last weekend. When so many people
are not to be found around, one begins to wonder what's going on
somewhere else that's better ^than what's going on here! (I couldn't
venture a guess could you?)

It almost took a small-scale Gallup-Jones poll to find out where
who had gone and why (sometimes this last point was a little diffic-
ult to determine), but here are the findings:

Emory had its annual Skits-o-phrenia, and Jean Drumheller, Lois
Dryden, Carol Tye, Dee Cundiff, Norma Chamblee, Nancy Gay, and
Bunny Hall were among the five per cent (probably as safe a guess
as any Gallup would make!) who went there. Some of the Emory
fraternities had parties over the weekend, too. Diana Butler, Sarah
Davis, and Ann Sayer went to an ATO party, Margie Young and
Jane Stubbs to a Chi Phi party; Harriette Griffin went to the Sigma
Chi house and Taffy Merrill to the Phi Delta Theta house. Betty
Ellington and Lois Dryden went to a PiKA party at Tech, and Ruthe
Norton went to the Phi Delta Theta house over there.

That 27.43 Per Cent

Among the 27.43 per cent who went home for the weekend were
Jane Davidson, Carolyn Alford, Clara Adams, Mildred Gaston, June
Ellen Mansour, Ann Wellborn, Ann DeWitt, Helen Moutos, Louise
Rainey, and quite a few others. (Note: Don't believe everything you
see in print if you really want to know percentages, don't bother
to consult the society editor. It would be a waste of time.)

There was a show in t6wn last week which seemed to be quite
popular with the girls from Agnes Scott. Some of the ones who
went to see "South Pacific" were Carol Hancock, Jean Drumheller,
Mary Hood, Martha Crowell, Helen Jo Hinchey, Ann Potts, and Su-
san Dodson. The strains of "Some Enchanted Evening" still drift
languidly over the shower curtains on Second Main, though "I'm
Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair" would probably be
more in keeping. And speaking of songs, they tell me that Judy
Brown is keeping Ansley ringing with "There'll Always be an Eng-
land," for some obscure reason.

Margie Fordham had an exciting weekend at Annapolis, and Mar-
garet McRae also had a special sort of time. She had a visitor over
the weekend, and is now sporting a new diamond ring!

That seems to be "it," so happy inactivity week, successful exam
week, and restful spring holidays to each and all. It's been a real
ratrace keeping up with you-all the past year, but it's been fun and
nobody can ever tell ME that Agnes Scott girls spend all their time
studying! Au revoir, adios, and ach! (I have a slight deficiency in
German.)

All Star Series Will Present

in Concer t Tonight

Outstanding Pianist
To Play Beethoven

Highland Fling

Administration Chooses Hill
To Represent ASC in Europe

By Genny Lucchese

Louise Hill is going to have a sure 'nuff Highland Fling
this summer as she represents Agnes Scott in the Experi-
ment in International Living in Scotland.

Lou is "thoroughly thrilled" over being chosen for this
honor, which is awarded annually to an outstanding mem-
ber of the junior class, selected
by an administration committee.
The money is donated by an an-
onymous benefactor of the col-
lege.

The Experiment will select a
Scottish family and Lou will live
in their home for one month. Then
for two weeks the group of 10
American students will travel
through the highlands, visiting
the famous lake country and tak-
ing many interesting side trips.
Lou plans to spend some of this
time visiting friends.

Then there is the world famous
music and drama Festival in Ed-
inburgh and after that a week in
London for the Experimenters.

If time permits, the Experiment
provides for some independent
travel to places especially inter-
esting to the individual Experi-
menters. As far as Lou is con-
cerned, she says "Paris!"

Lou is looking forward partic-
ularly to living with the family.
She is "eager to observe family
life in another country" and she
feels that if a foreign family is
able to have an American mem-
ber for a while "it will dispel so
many typical unpleasant ideas of
American tourists."

Artur Rubinstein, one of the
world's great pianists, will give a
recital tonight, April 1, at 8:30
p. m. in the Municipal auditorium
as the seventh presentation of the
All Star Concert series.

The program will consist of
"Sonata in F Minor" (Appasion-
ata), Beethoven; "Carnival Op. 9,"
Schumann; "Sonata in Three
Movements," from "Petrouchka,"
Stravinsky; "Nocturne" (for left
hand), Scriabine; "Navarra," Al-
beniz; "Berceuse" and "Scherzo
in C-sharp Minor," Chopin.

Artur Rubinstein is not only a
famous pianist, but also one of the
most outstanding personalities of
the present music world. Born in
Warsaw, he was a child prodigy.
When he was 16, he made bis
debut in America, playing 75 con-
certs in three months.

His tours have taken him to ev-
ery country except Tibet. For
a while his diplomatic passport
was inscribed "On a mission of
art for Poland."

Since the fall of Poland, -Mr.
Rubinstein has labored incessant-
ly for the restoration of his home-
land's independence.

Now an American citizen, he
lives in Hollywood with bis wife,
daughter of the conductor of the
Warsaw Symphony orchestra, and
their three children.

acquaint girls from this area with
the varied athletic program of-

A full schedule has <been plan-
ned for the visitors beginning
with a picnic lunch at the barbe-
cue pit; then they will go to the
gym where they will participate
in tennis, archery, or badminton;
next in softball and volleyball.

These strenuous activities will
be interrupted long enough for
everyone to catch her breath and
watch a swimming exhibition by
the members of Dolphin club. The
Play Day will be climaxed by a
general swim period. Indoor activ-
ities 'have been planned in case
of rain.

CA Plans Service

sor of classical languages and lit-
eratures, in the Main Music room.

Election Eve

There is little that can be said on the eve of student elec-
tions which has not been said before, but at this time we
would like to make a few observations. First, as a campus
we should count it among our blessings that our elections
are not engineered by campus machines and that politicking
is kept to a minimum. The orderly procedure which has
beeen followd in the past will, we feel sure, be repeated this
year.

We would like to urge, however, that the period which
elapses between the posting of the nominations and the be-
ginning of the voting next Monday be used profitably. The
nominating committee members have devoted long hours to
the consideration of candidates for each office and their se-
lections were made only after very concentrated thought and
discussion.

The retiring senior leaders cannot possibly know the mem-
bers of the sophomore and junior classes as well as the mem-
bers of those classes know each other. Yet the senior lead-
ers who compose the nominating committee have had the
experience of working in their organizations this year; they
know what is required of the persons who hold the positions
of leadership and to a large extent they know the capabil-
ities of those with whom, they have worked. While their
judgment should not be considered final in any case, it should
carry a great deal of weight. For these reasons we ask that
both committee and popular nominations be given thorough
and thoughtful study

One final reminder: This year for the first time the junior
officers on the publication will not be elected but, rather,
will be selected by the publications board next week. There
axe also many other important officers which remain to be
chosen after the general elections are over; among them are
class officers, members of the CA and AA boards, and club
officers.

Many leaders will be needed to fill these positions and this
fact should not be overlooked in the voting next. week. P. S.

ties, although residing in anoth-
er state. His daughter, Mary,

leges and by his leadership in ed-
ucation and the Boy Scout move-
ment in Lauderdale county, Ala.

tary club and has served on the

Yes, You Do Have a Nice Tan,
Or, I Stayed Home This Year

By Joan Simmons

At our great renowned, strictly female institution (one of
the top 10 don't forget) there is an ancient tradition fondly
called " spring holidays." This quaint pagan custom which
lasts from a week to 10 days according to exam schedule or
whether you can "take that little ol' French exam with the

other section" occasioned the fol-
lowing impromptu drama:

Scene I: Letitia Pate Evans
Dinmg hall (fondly referred to by
visitors as "that chapel over
there").

Me: Did you have a nice holiday?

Enthusiastic: Oh yes, I had a
WONDERFUL time. We went
to a marvelous resort down in
Florida. The place was just
teeming with handsome life
guards and unattached million-
aires. All I did was play and
swim and lie on the beach and
ride around in my convertible.

Me : I knew you must have been to
the beach. You have such a won-
derful tan.

Tanned: (modestly) Yes, I did
get a rather good tan but some
people just -turned black. Of
course, EVERYBODY went to
the beach during spring holi-
days. Didn't you????

Me: (apologetically) Well no, we
decided to stay home this year.

Friend: You do look rather white
but I thought it was your sal-
low complexion.

Scene II

Scene II. Quiet period preceding
chapel, better known as "gossip's
paradise."

Girl in next seat: Gads, how unu-
sual to be back in these four
walls again.

Me: (timidly) Did you go to the
beach for your spring holidays?

Globe-trotter: Stay, in one place
during the whole time? Heav-
ens no! WE ran out to Calif-
ornia for a few days then took
a short tour through Canada,
ran over to Paris, and spent
the rest of the time in Bermuda.
Of course, EVERYONE travel-
ed during the holidays so that
wasn't any thing much.

Me: (hesitatingly) We thought it
might be kind of nice to stay
home.

Blase: Well, travel is broadening
you know, but I guess you don't
need to be any wider.

Scene III
Scene III. The Murphey Cand-
ler basement recreation room,
known officially as the "Blue
Room."

Me: (behind whirls of smoke)
Let's don't play bridge. I did
that so much at home.

Card Shark: Oh nobody at home
wanted to play.

Me: (eagerly) Oh, did you go
home too ! I ! !

Miss Popularity of 1953: Oh, yes,
it was simply marvelous. We
had a party every nignt. We
went dancing, night clubbing,
picnicking, hiking. And of
course all the 10 boys I used to
date in high school were home
and they were simply standing
in line to date me. Of course,
EVERYBODY had a wonderful

Campus Spanish Group

American day program.

club. They are Margaret Bur-
well, Lynn Johnston, Clara Jean
McLanahan, and Nancy Whet-
stone.

time, dates for breakfast, lunch,
the afternoon, dinner and that
night. What did YOU do?

Me: (without hope) Well I went
with mother and daddy to play
bingo one night and I had the
car to ride around one after-
noon.

Helpfully: Well, you must have
seen some good shows on TV.

Me: (rather wildly) We don't
have a set.

Cooly Sympathetic: It must be
good to get back to civilization.
(Babbling incoherently the hero-
ine is carried back to her library
carrel.)

Spinning the Patter

Socializing, Tans the Rage
As Spring Hits AS Campus

By CAROL JONES

The chirping of birds from boughs of trees which are proudly show-
ing their first -sprouts of green only serves to reinforce the impres-
sion that one gets upon seeing the droves of girls waiting for the bus
to town on a Saturday afternoon or parading in spring straws on
Sunday morning. Yes, spring is here! And hih time, too, you might
add after all, didn't we go through winter AND exams, just so
we could have spring? And as usual, spring has brought along with
it well, the usual things. Sunbathers are already braving the wind
up on Inman sundeck, the tennis courts are well-populated, a few
shy cotton dresses have been seen hiding under sweaters, and of
course the dean's office is doing double duty almost any night of
the' week.

Last Friday night the Decatur Presbyterian Westminster Fellow-
ship had a hillbilly party to greet the spring fever season. Some of
the Martins and McCoys who feuded there were Callie McArthur,
Jane Henegar, Genevieve Guardia, Betty Ann Jacks, Pat Hale, Nansi-
Lee Smith, Betty Ellington, and Patty Hamilton. Some others now
lie 'neath the clover (almost) as a result of the skating party which
followed the grand competition.

Over at Emory Friday night, Phi Delta Theta and Chi Phi collab-
orated on a campus-wide party v/hich turned out to be a gala affair.
Sarah Petty, Betty McFarland, Mary Ann Warnell, Justine Simpson,
Stella Biddle, Dora Wilkinson, Carol Stroud, Joanna Solomon, Sue
Walker, Ginnie Lee Floyd, Joan Simmons, and several others went.

Ann Bowen spent the weekend off campus, attending the PiKA
dream girl formal at the University of South Carolina. Jerry Cun-
ningham and Erline Lide also went to South Carolina for the week-
end, in order to attend the KA Old South ball. Jane Frist went to the
Clemson military ball.

Lois Dryden was pinned Sweetheart of Beta Theta Pi at Emory
Friday night, and Carolyn Alford received her pin as Delta Tau
Delta sponsor (Emory) just before spring vacation.

Since the last issue of the News, which was sometime in the dim
past before winter quarter exams, Katherine Matthews has received
a KA-pin, Alice Johnston an Alpha Gamma Rho pin, Ann Montgom-
ery a PiKA pin, and Claire Flintom and Nancy Gaye, Sigma Chi pins.
Chica Ogden returned from her vacation wearing a Phi Delta Theta
pin, and Connie Ballas has a law fraternity pin. Brownie Williams
and Carol Edwards both came back wearing diamond rings.

Approaching Softball Season
Promises Keen Competition

By Carolyn Wells

The 1953 Softball season at Agnes Scott will open a week
from Friday on April 10 when the seniors and sophomores
will square away at home plate for the opening hitch. The
juniors will face the freshmen in the second tilt. The out-
come of this athletic scrap is anyone's guess at this point.
The seniors boast the unmatched

hurling ability of Mary Beth Rob-
inson and the booming bats of
Ann Thomson and manager Ann
Baxter.

The juniors, led by Katharine
Matthews, Marji Henderson, Pat
Patterson and Julie Grier, exhib-
ited excellent teiamwork afield
last year; manager Eleanor Hut-
chinson promises a stubborn fight
for a junior championship this
year. The once-crowned (hock-
ey) sophomores are sharpening
their claws to battle with the
best in an attempt to bring home
the bacon for a second time this
school year.

Fast-baller Sally Legg and slug-
ger Nan Arwood, the soph man-
ager, furnish the initial spark to
set the soph softball machine in
motion. Will it be a steamroller?
And the frosh haven't disappoint-
ed the campus yet.

Manager Sally Shippey prom-

Emory Announces
Candler Lectures

Emory University has announc-
ed that Gilbert Highet will give
the Walter Turner Candler lec-
tures for 1953. The theme of the
lectures is "The Migration of
Ideas."

The lectures will be heard in
the Alumni Memorial building on
the evenings of April 6, 8, and 9
at 8:15 p. m. The subjects for
the lectures will be "Politics and
Society," on April 6; "Religion
and Art," on April 8; and "Tech-
niques and Ideals," on April 9.

The Candler Lectureship was
founded by Walter T. Candler, an
Emory graduate, "to foster and
promote interest in literature and
related aspects of the humanities."

The lecturer for 1953. Gilbert
Highet of Columbia University,
was educated in Scotland and
England and came to this coun-
try in 1937. With the exception
of the war years, when he served
the British government in vari-
ous capacities, he has since taught
at Columbia, where he is now
Anthon Professor of Latin. His
books, "The Classical Tradition,"
and "The Art of Teaching," have
been widely read and praised.

In addition to his teaching he
is chief book critic of Harper's
Magazine.

Students Redecorate Smoker;
Add Tile Floor, Blue Paint

By MARJI HENDERSON

"Hey! We need some more
paint over here!"

"Never knew there were so
many pipes in this place!"

"You! Come stand on this
square of asphalt tile tilfr it dries."

"Somebody give me a hand
with this ladder."

No, it isn't the stage crew
building the set for a Broadway
production, nor is it "National
Clean up, Fix up Week." The
foregoing bits of conversation
are those overheard in the base-
ment rooms of Murphey Candler
as the students resolved to re-
model the smoker.

The result of this outbreak of
enthusiasm is a new face for the
newly-christened "blue room."

The sky-blue walls giving a
sparkling cheerfulness to the two
rooms, reflect the light from the
newly installed table lamps which
alleviates the problem of inade-
quate lighting and bestows a
home-like atmosphere on the once
severe rooms.

In addition to the gaity pro-
duced by the lustrous pastel walls
and the tasteful table lamps, is a
floor covering of alternating
black and white marbelized as-
phalt tile. The newly laid floor
not only adds richness, but also
gives an effect of increased di-
mensions to the rooms.

The ivory enamel with which
the new wicker furniture and the
choice pieces of furniture in use

at the present time are being
painted and irridescent navy and
rust curtain will soon adorn the
windows.

The newly decorated "Blue
Rooms," with one of its two rooms
designated as a study and the oth-
er as a place for relaxation, cards,
and conversation, has been made
possible by the cooperation and a
great deal of "elbow grease" on
the part of the students and by
the helpfulness of P. J. Rogers,
business manager; Mrs. Annie
May Smith, dormitory supervisor;
Mr. Wilkinson and Mr. White,
carpenter and electrician; Presi-
dent Alston, and Student Gov-
ernment.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, April 8. 1953

A Progressive Step

The News wishes to commend Mortar Board and all of the
organizations cooperating in planning and presenting the
first leadership training conference on this campus.

All organizations have felt the need for such conference,
where the retiring officers could meet with the new officers
to discuss matters for which time cannot be allotted at re-
treats.

Also, many of us have felt the need for a basic instruc-
tion course in the use of parliamentary law as adapted to
our particular campus. The lawyers who will participate in
this leadership conference have a clear perception of the
needs of this campus and its varied organizations. We are
certain that their discussion will be helpful to all students.

We therefore urge all student leaders of clubs, publica-
tions and other organizations to consider it their privilege as
well as their duty to attend this leadership conference. If
it is successful, the change-over from the 1953 regime to the
1954 leaders should be singularly successful.

Next year the groups sponsoring the conference plan to
include a discussion group for faculty advisers and sponsors
of student organizations. We hope that this plan will be
carried through, in order to make more effective use of the
faculty advisers. P. S.

Open Letter To The Campus

Since this issue marks our swan song and fresher pens are
eager to monopolize these columns, we seize this last chance
to pay our respects to those who have worked with us so
faithfully in the outgoing regime.

The greatest amount of appreciation should go to Joyce,
Joan, and Caroline, who, although they were officially en-
titled assistant editors, spent long hours at the often menial
tasks to which they were assigned. Their loyalty as well as
ingenuity were invaluable.

We also want to thank Miss Scandrett and Dr. Alston as
well as members of the faculty for their advice and cooper-
ation.

Hearty appreciation goes also to Jane Landon, who wrote
the best columns we have read this side of Ogden Nash; to
Leah Fine, who turned in expert photography; to Mary Ann
Wyatt and Louise Hill, who achieved and maintained solven-
cy for the first time in some years; to the capable reporters
for their tireless efforts; to Vivian Weaver, who could now
walk to the New Era Printing company blindfolded; to Carol
Jones, who has kept up with as many people as Hedda Hop-
per; to the long-suffering printers for their good humor; to
AA, Executive committee, and CA, to whom we are indebt-
ed for a weiner roast, a sundae party and a cocktail party,
respectively, which brightened our Monday work nights; to
Betty Stein and Carolyn Wells, who skillfully kept the sports
field covered; and to our readers who have encouraged us
in the task.

We feel absolutely certain that we have left this most
intriguing, interesting, and in the long run, satisfying job
in the most capable hands. P. S.

Letter to Editor

Dear Madam Editor,

I would like to put in a request
for more music programs in cha-
pel this quarter, and the following
years. Any type of program can
be given in excess, but one such
program as this is only enough to
whet the appetite. Students ap-
preciate these music programs,
and always turn out in large num-
bers for them, even on rainy days.

I'm all for Brahms. Chopin,
and contemporary composers
more often. Please let the Music
department and chapel commit-
tee know that we would appreci-
ate more frequent opportunities
to hear the pianos, under faculty
or student interpretation, give
forth with soothing or unsoothing
melodies to help us forget, for the
moment, the day's frustrating
batch of low grades and faux pas!
Thank you,
Pat Patterson

Unappreciated Writer Gives
Swan Song on Earthworms

By Jane Landon

Let's face it, kiddies your reporter is throwing in the

towel, retiring from the business. My roommate no longer

chuckles warmly at my eager efforts, my parents no longer

pay the postage due on copies of the Agnes Scott News

thoughtfully mailed to Birmingham, my little brothers no
longer say. "Dig that crazy

sis-
ter" when introducing me to their
six-year-old friends, and as this
column goes to press, Max Schul-
man (your hero and mine) is still
not worrying about my putting
him out of business.

This is it the swan song.
But no tears make it later, al-
ligator. Let's live it up it's
not raining inside. Turn to page
two-twenty-two in your song-
books, and if it's not there, sing
one-eleven twice.

As one be-bopper said to the
other while watching a dump
truck unload sand, "Dig that fran-
tic hourglass!"

On to the vein of intellect. This
week we have a book review.
(Read any good books lately? If
not, you're in for a surprise. If so,
you're still in for a surprise, be-
cause the odds are 20 to one that
you haven't read this one.)

"The Formation of Vegetable
Mold Through the Action of
Earthworms" by Charles Darwin
is simply a must on your spring
reading list.

Nowhere in literature can there
be found a more realistic, a more

iment.

After serving at the Field Ar-
tillery School, Fort Sill, Okla.,
and at the Office of Strategic
Services, Mr. Henley was assigned

Two Seniors To Give
Recitals Next Week

The Agnes Scott Music department will present two
senior recitals the next week in Maclean auditorium, Bon-
nie Sanders, violinist, and Jackie King, soprano.

Bonnie's recital will be Sunday, April 12, at 3 p. m. Her
program consists of Vivaldi's "Concerto in G minor," "Son-

atina in G Major" by Dvorak,
and three pieces by Fritz Kreis-
ler: "Liebesleid," "The Old Re-
frain," and "Syncopation." Chor
Gee Goh is the accompanist. Fol-
lowing the program, all friends
have been invited to a reception
at the Sanders' home in Buck-
head.

Tuesday, April 14, at 8 p. m.,
Jackie will open with an Italian

group: "O Del Mio Amato Ben,"

by Donoughy; "Fioca 1 Neve;"

"Nebbie" by Respighi; and "Mar-

iciare" by Tosti.

Her three selections in French

are Ravel's "La Flute Enchantee,"
Debussy's "II Pleure dans mon
Coeur;" and "Nicolette" also by
Ravel.

Jackie will sing three songs in
German by Franz Schubert:
"Rastlose Liebe" and "Wohin;"
and Brham's "Von Ewiger Liebe."

Verdi's aria "Ernani" will be
followed by a group of American
songs: "Phyllis is my only Joy,"
"Prelude" from the Cycle of Life;
and "The Wind's in the South
Today." '

Jackie, another Atlanta stu-
dent, will be accompanied by Car-
olyn Crawford.

intimate, a more down-to-earth
account of daily routine in the
life of Wilma Wiggle, Girl Worm.

One of the most enlightening
parts of the book is the detailed
study of how the little worms car-
ry leaves into their burrows, e.g.,
do most worms carry elm leaves
by the stem, the tip, or the broad
side of the leaf? Oak leaves?
Maple? Japanese Cherry? What
about pine needles? Are they
carried by the end where the three
needles are joined or do worms
prefer the free tip of the needle?
These are just a few of the
thought-provoking questions an-
swered by Professor Darwin. On-
ly Darwin himself could have
thought this one up. Only Dar-
win himself would have sat for
long hours, playing with, feeding,
watching, always studying in-
tensely his little no-footed friends.

One of the book's most inter-
esting points concerns the length
of time that earthworms require
to cover up the stone in a mea-
dow. Yes, you and your friends
will be surprised when you read
the answer in the informative and
interesting book, "The Formation
of Vegetable Mold Through the
Action of Earthworms."

A poem upon closing ....
The worth of my writings I've

vindicated,
But I fear they will never be syn-
dicated.

Spinning the Patter

Hoppy Hottentot Keeps Busy
With Scotties Pins, Parties

By PEGGY BRIDGES, Guest Editor

When the Easter bunny first arrived on the campus, a careful
observer would have been able to detect a slight droop of the whis-
kers and ears. Just think, he had brought enough eggs for the entire
community, and 200 of its members had departed in an Easter ex-
odus.

But there were some left beneath the Sheltering Arms, so Mr.
Bunny directed his hops toward Rebekah Scott. As he bounced up
the stairs to the second and third floor, the clamour resounded loud-
er and louder. Girls were running wildly from one end of the hall
to the other. His stubby nose twitched with excitement. Finally some
thoughtful sophomore informed our confused 'bunny that it was not
eggs both Ann Hanson and Kitten Cumby had received but two
beautiful fraternity pins. Also Sandra Dickson received a lovely
ring.

Realizing that this just wasn't the place for an Easter bunny, he
hopped back down the steps, and sniffed his way over to Main where
Miss Scandrett kindly let him rummage through the date slips. He
discovered that Betty Richardson, Betty McFarland, Joanna Solomon,
(Mary Ann Warnell, Virginia Jakeman, Mary Dean, Donna McGinty,
Jane Gaines, and Bunny Hall had gone to a party given by the
SAEs, Chi Phis, and PiKAs at Snap Finger farm.

He was also informed that Ava Caldwell, Julie Grier and Mary
Hood had gone to a Damon Runyon party at the PiKA house at Em-
ory, and that Carol Hancock, Keller Henderson, and Jean Drum-
heller had been to a Dental party at Emory.

About 12:30 our bunny who was perched on the Dean's office desk
suddenly found himself surrounded by all sorts of characters. Why
there were his old friends Li'l Abner and Daisy Mae, and Mopsy
and Valentine. Poor bunny, he was disappointed to find it was only
a group of Scotties including Trudy AwbreyC Who, by the way, won
first prize for the cutest costume), Bunny Hall, Joan Simmons,
Peggy Pfeiffer, Caroline Lester, Martha Lee Bridges, Nancy Gay,
Gail Rogers, Pat Tooley, Carolyn Tinklepaugh, and Donna McGinty
returning from a comic strip party at the Sigma "Chi house at Qnory.

Mr. Bunny left Main and hopped over to the freshmen end of the
campus hoping to find some peace and quiet there, -but when he over-
heard someone say that Judy Welch and Ethel Pendleton had re-
ceived pins, he retreated with a double skip hop used only in emer-
gencies. "Not again," he murmured.

Our bunny continued to tour the campus and observed that there
were a few people behaving differently from the rest they were
rather dignified and calm. He was told they were guests who were
visiting Chor Gee Goh, Barbara Huey, Ann Lowrie Alexander, Sarah
Davis, Dorothy Sands, May Huie, and Sally Legg,

'53 AS Softball Predictions Remain Mystery; Campus Groups To Sponsor
Old, New Talent Comes OutForSpringPractice

By Carolyn Wells

Or man March kinda fouled things up this spring he
came in like a lion, all right, but any of the 40 enthusiasts
chattering on the diamond during the first week of practice
will testify that March was Leo right up to the bitter end,
and then some. But the rather hockeyish weather didn't put
any sort of damper on the spirit Pat Patterson swing very danger-
ous sticks at the plate.

Marji Henderson has shown im-
mense improvement over her per-
formances this time last year.
Marji is scooping up the ground-
ers around the keystone like a
duck on junebugs, and any ball in
her vicinity is almost a sure out.

Sara Legg, the pride of the
sophs, is fast developing into an-
other Robinson. A big chunk of
second year title hopes rides on
the fast delivery of the left-hand-
ed pitcher. A good pitcher can
look awfully bad if her catcher
doesn't measure up to par. But
Sally has no worries along this
line, for she sends her ball whiz-
zing into the able and constant
mitt of catcher Julia Beeman
with incredible accuracy. The two
make a great combination and
promise to rival the Robinson-
Baxter combo for battery efficien-
cy this season.

B. A. Jacks and Molly Prit-
chard compose a second great
combination of which the sophs
are justly proud. Betty Ann and
Molly keep the keystone area well
guarded, gobbling up grounders
and flies effectively. Home run
promise is already evident in the
library slugging of manager Nan
A r wood and newcomer Pat Pad-
en. The sophs are out to win.
Freshman Mystery
Everyone is especially anxious
(most especially 27 other dia-
mond-minded Hottentots) to see
What the surprising frosh will pull
out of their mysterious bag this
time. They did it in basketball,
they scared the stuffins out of
everybody in hockey, and have
already shown enough stuff on the
diamond to arouse apprehension
among the other teams.

Alice Thornton will handle the
hurling chores for the freshmen
and she seems to have great pos-
sibilities. Liz Mickle blasted her
way into the team last Thursday
by poling a long, long ball off the
untouchable senior hurling. Rob-
bie Shellnut was especially im-
pressive last week in snaring
flies.

Mary Jo Carpenter and Shirley
Hurt are two more the legion of
new talent the development of
which will be an interesting thing

and enthusiasm which character-
ised the initial workouts of the
Softball season last week.

Many old faces of field and
hardwood days reappeared to
tackle diamond duties with the
same old vigor, and there was a
refreshing smattering of new tal-
ent to add more spice than ever
to Aggie's athletic annals.

Last Wednesday, the first morn-
ing-af ter-the-af ternoon-before, it
seems there was a run on the in-
firmary and Threadgill's for heat
lamps, rub-downs, and Bengue.
But the aching muscles and that
"wouldn't it be great not to he
alive" feeling were gone before
they arrived well, and all hands,
if not more, were at it again at
the second practice on Thursday.

Naturally it is too early in the
season, with the opening game
still a mystery, to predict any
sort of seasonal outcome. Athlet-
ically this year the sophs and
frosh have fired the big guns,
copping the hockey and basket-
ball crowns respectively.

Upperclassman Threat

But neither the seniors nor the
juniors are teams to be taken
lightly on the diamond. The el-
der team, in addition to the ad-
vantage of experience, has safely
tucked on its roster the names of
not a few of Agnes Scott's ath-
letic greats. Ann Baxter, the
stubby catcher for the seniors;
Anne Thomson, who swings one
of the wickedest bats around;
Frances Cook, the glue-fingered
initial sacker; and Mary Beth
Robinson, whose speed and control
in hurling the spheroid is feared
by all opposing batters. These
four compose the nucleus of the
senior softballers who are very
likely to go far in their last crown
struggle.

The embodiment of the well-
rounded gal is exemplified- by the
junior pitcher, Judy Promnitz.
Judy seems to have improved a
great deal since last spring, and
should be a big voice in the junior
crown efforts.

Tri-sporters Julie Grier and
Joen Fagen are two more em-
phatic reasons for a possible ju-
nior crowning; these two juniors
coupled with Jackie Josey and

Faculty Introduces
New Study Course

In lieu of courses 415 and 499
in all departments, a program of
Independent Study, course 490
has been instituted in the cur-
riculum at Agnes Scott. Twenty-
two members of the junior class
have been invited toy the dean of
the faculty to participate in this
program.

The faculty, feeling that the
honors program was too restrict-
ed, has introduced Independent
Study, hoping to initiate a pro-
gram of work on a level expanded
above 415, directed study, and
somewhat less rigid than 499,
honors work. A standard has
been fixed by the faculty on the
basis of which invitations are is-
sued to eligible juniors each
spring.

Independent Study, which is
offered in the student's major
subject only, may be credited for
either three or five hours a quar-
ter, and may be taken for one,
two, or three quarters, as the stu-
dent desires. Ten hours of In-
dependent Study is the maximum.

Students may elect Independent
Study for two or three quarters'
work in their senior year. Six
hours is the minimum and ten,
the maximum.

The program of study is not
arbitrary and may vary with the
individual student and depart-
ment. Other details concerning
the Independent Study are to be
announced later.

By Pris Sheppard

The New Regime

Among the necessary qualities of the successful editor of
a newspaper, regardless of its size and frequency of publica-
tion, are dependability, good humor, ability to organize, and
imperturbability. These certainly characterized our prede-
cessor, along with excellent editorial style. The footsteps
which we are undertaking to trace lead to a peak of success
which perhaps our "editorial shortness of breath" may pre-
vent us from attaining.

The keynote of the new regime is accuracy. In this our
readers can be of great assistance by informing us of all pub-
lished errors in order that we may make corrections. We
hope for a greater emphasis on off-campus affairs. Self-
centeredness is a disease all too common among newspapers
and often becomes incurable.

Many suggestions have already been lodged with us as
subjects for editorials. Since these are too numerous for the
editorial staff, we suggest that our readers enjoy their own
freedom of speech in frequent letters to the editor.

We will essay to meet the duties and privileges of editor-
ship with faithfulness, calmness, and our limited ability. In
return, we request your suggestions, your news repoVts, and,
on occasion, your sympathy. J. M.

Now Is The Time

On April 20 Student Government will meet in their an-
nual spring retreat to discuss the problems and flaws in
our campus governmental system and possible rectifications
of these difficulties.

Since our governing body is of the students, by the stu-
dents, and, primarily, for the students, the college com-
munity is urged to think seriously about its Regulations and
the methods by which it governs itself, and turn in any
questions, criticisms, or suggestions to Student Government
before it retires to its retreat. These suggestions may
be turned in ,to any members of Student Government, or
placed in the suggestion box in the mail room.

Students should take advantage of this opportunity to ex-
press their opinions constructively rather than to complain
destructively among themselves. C. W.

Trustee Is Prominent
In Business World

Hal L. Smith is a trustee of Ag-
nes Scott whose interest in the
college is intensified by the fact
that his wife, the former Julia
Thomipson, is an Agntes Scott
graduate.

Mr. Smith, a native Atlantian
who graduated from Georgia Tech,
has in the past served as presi-
dent of the Rotary club of At-
lanta, president of the Atlanta
Automobile Dealers association,
and president of the Georgia Au-
tomobile Dealers association. .

At this time, in addition to his
business duties as president of the
Downtown Chevrolet company,
Mr. Smith is active on the Board,
of Directors of the Atlanta chap-
ter of the American Red Cross
and of the Metropolitan Commun-
ity services. He is a deacon of
the First Presbyterian church of
Atlanta.

Mr. Smith manages to find time
from his many business, civic, and

ing on Lake Allatoona and play-
ing golf.

It Never Happens;
Or, Try It Yourself

By Joan Simmons

A new year begins and horrify-
ingly enough, so do I. As a state-
ment of policy for the coming
year I guess that I will be my
usual gay, witty self. But all we
intellectuals have our deep mo-
ments so a few of these weekly
expositions may be devoted to
finer things. But as an opener
I would like to borrow a well-
known cartoon idea and give
some "It never happens" a la
Agnes.

I. Jane: Could we get that quiz
scheduled for Tuesday put off
for two days? I have five pa-
pers scheduled this week, three
term papers, my family is
coming down from Alaska for
the week and I have phone duty
every night.

Professor: I think that would be
a wonderful idea. But why
don't I just put it off for two
* weeks ? I hear there's a big
dance at Tech this weekend
and I know you girls don't want
to be bothered with studying.

II. Student rushing into D. O. 30
minutes late: Oh I'm so sorry
I'm late but I dropped an ear-
ring in the movie and I just had
to find it because Johnny made
it for me himself so can't you
make an exception just this
once ?

On Duty: Of course, it's perfect-
ly all right. I told Mr. Jones to
leave the door to your dorm un-
locked in case you found you
couldn't get back any sooner.

III. Annie: I'm sorry I can't go
out to dinner with you to the
show, the ice follies, and the
formal because I already have
a date to go to the show in
Decatur but please ask me
again.

Handsome: Why don't you just
call me and let me know when-
ever it will be convenient for
you to go?

IV. Susie: I'm sorry I tore your
best dress that I borrowed from
you last night and I guess you
can get the cigarette hole fixed
but the indelible ink may be a
little hard to get out.

Roomie: Oh, it really doesn't mat-
ter. You look so much better in
that dress than I do I was
thinking about giving it to you
anyway.

V. Prospective student: I'd love
to go to Agnes Scott but I al-
ways heard it was kinda hard.

Freshman: Oh no! All we do is
have a good time. Very few of
the teachers will give you any-
thing to do outside of class and
they grade so easy anyone can
make straight A's. The only
trouble is I have so much spare
time I don't know what to do
with it. /

VI. Blind date: Tall, dark, hand-
some, a good dancer, with, a
marvelous personality and a red
convertible.

sion by Saturday, April 18.

Actors, Stage Effects Excel
Expectations of Packed House

By Pat Hale

If you heard with a gulp that Blackfriars was giving a
Greek play with an unpronounceable name, the "Choephori"
to be exact, or listened with apprehension to the muffled
cries of "Woe" in the dorms after rehearsals, the perform-
ance on Friday night must have been a pleasant surprise.
The pill of classical culture

well as their lines played the dif-
ficult part of the slave women.
Their unity and precision was re-
markable, and their movement
added much to the play. Linda
Smith was outstanding as the
leader of the chorus, which con-
sisted of Helen Jo Hinchey, Mary
Hood, Anne Jones, Sarah Legg,
Rita May Scott, and Anne Sylves-
ter.

turned out to be tense, exciting
drama. It was even whispered
that Aeschylus might have some-
thing on Tennessee Williams af-
ter all.

The pages of "The Libation
Bearers," which are apt to make
tedious reading for the uninitiated,
came to life under the expert di-
rection of Mrs. Neva Webb and
Miss Roberta Winter, assistant
professor of speech. The audi-
ence, for most of whom Greek tra-
gedy was a new experience, re-
sponded with enthusiasm.

One of the outstanding features
of the play was the striking set,
designed and largely executed by
Miss Janet Loring, instructor in
speech and technical director. Its
deceptive simplicity belied the
hours of work and all the nails
and paint, bandaids and backaches
that went into its construction.
Rumor has it that Miss Loring
found that handsome column on
Margaret Mitchell's estate, tossed
it over her shoulder, and carried
it back to Agnes Scott. The stage
crew is apt to give credence to
this report. Be that as it may,
the column was without peer and
gave a distinctive touch to the set.

The handsomely constructed
tomb of Agamemnon also deserves
to be mentioned here. (Don't get
me wrong. Guess whose hands
go\ blistered building that tomb!)

Hermes

Presiding over the whole stage
was the magnificent figure of
Hermes, whose nine foot bulk was
faintly reminescent of the Colos-
sus at Rhodes. Red curtains dra-
matized the effective color scheme
of black, white, and grey.

If you didn't recognize your lit-
tle pals on stage with their Greek
noses and classical garb, you can
give credit to the hard work and
effective results wrought by Mrs.
Hamilton, Virginia Clift and Chor
Jee Goh and their committees of
make-up and costuming.

Clytemnestra's queenly attire
and Orestes' tunic and cloak were
particularly noteworthy. The
chorus of libation bearers wore
gowns of different shades of grey,
carrying out the color scheme of
the set.

Full House

Whether under duress of class
assignment, or curiosity, or expec-
tation of a free evening's enter-
tainment, or passionate interest
in Greek tragedy (by which last
I mean the members of Eta Sig-
ma Phi), the campus community
and many outside guests flocked
to the "Choephori." The house
was neirly full when the play,
which was performed without cur-
tains, opened to the somber
strains of Stravinsky's "Orpheus"
and the lights went up.

From beginning to end the
whole effect of oppressive som-
berness and dramatic tension was
greatly heightened by the lighting,
engineered by Anne Atkinson. Red
li rhting -accented some of the
high dramatic spots of the play,
such as Electra's and the chorus'
prayer for vengeance and the su-
perb scene at the end in which
Orestes went mad.

Especial praise was given the
chorus, who with their bodies as

Excellent Casting

Among the individual charac-
ters, Lou Hill as Orestes was es-
pecially noteworthy. She brought
to the difficult role of a Greek
hero intensity and vitality. Anne
Allred played Electra with the*
passion and sympathy necessary
for such a heroine.

Clytemnestra, portrayed by
Virginia Clift, was every inch a
queen. Virginia Love, cast as
Aegisthus, the villain, was effec-
tive, and Pylades, played by Bet-
ty Jo McCastlain, the nurse of
Orestes, Meyme Curtis, and the
attendant, Mitzi Kiser, were also
excellent.

Now that it is all over, the or-
gan students can practice without
accompaniment of hammer and
saw, and the stage crew can dust
off their books. Mr. Jones and
Mr. Wilkinson no longer need live
in the dread expectation of a mes-
sage from Miss Loring that a rhe-
ostat is leaking or the column
shakes. The actresses and their
roommates can probably sleep a
little better. Everyone can set-
tle down with an agreeable feel-
ing that Greek tragedy in the
hands of Blackfriars lived up to
its reputation.

Technical Parody

The stage crew of the Agnes
Scott Blackfriars, inspired by the
success of Aeschylus' "Choephori"
last Friday, have embarked upon
a production of their own. The
"Liberation," subtitled the "Cof-
fin Bearers," a hitherto unproduc-
ed play by Escalator, will be pre-
sented Thursday afternoon, April
16, at 5 p. m. in the lobby of Re-
bekah.

The leading roles will be taken
by Betty Ellington, stage man-
ager, as Electricy, and Caroline
Reinero, scenery chairman, as O-
Rest-Ye. Pat Hale will play the
Procurator of Interment in Ath-
enian gardens, and Barbara Battle
will be Queen Quite-a-Mess. There
will also be a chorus. The tra-
gedy is set in the masoleum of
Presser hall.

The public is invited without
charge to a half hour of "cultur-
al" entertainment.

Horticulturists Invade Main,
Spring Brings Vagabond Itch

By CALLIE McARTIII R

Taking a peep into the ice box at the many corsages in Murphey
Candler last week-end, I thought Agpes Scott had suddenly changed
from a liberal arts school to a horticulturists' school but I very
unromantically thought that the new bocm in popularity v/as just be-
cause of Easter Sunday. Boy, was I ever wrong more florists' trucks
than ever have been rolling up to Main.

Several fraternities had parties during the weekend. Theta Chi
at Tech attracted Jackie Plant, Alice Nunnally, Jane Gaines, and
Helen Moutos. The Delts at Tech had a house dance which Carol
Miller, Martha Crowell, Marji Henderson, Hannah Jackson, and Car-
olyn Randolph attended.

The Kappa Sigs at Tech had their Black and White formal Friday
night and among those attending were Jean Gregory, Lota Bruce,
Chica Ogden, Judy Welch, and Pat Stanley. Another formal at Em-
ory, the AKK, attracted Cotton Williams, Martha Lee Bridges, Mar-
ijke Schepman, and Eleanor Hutchinson.

The Delts at Emory had a wiener roast and barn dance, and among
the Hottentots there were Lucy Murray, Peggy McMillan, Mary
Stanley, Mary Dean, Cathy Wilson, Sara Mclntyre, Carolyn Alford,
Julia Grier, and Nancy Burkitt.

That vagabond itch had a number of girls this weekend. Peggy
Pfeiffer, Bunny Hall, Lib Grafton, Trudy Aubrey, and Joan Simmons
were among those at the Sigma Chi houseparty at Rutledge, Ga.

Many other girls were bitten by the travel bug and journeyed to
various places. Florrie Fleming took five guests with her
to Augusta. Patti Mayton went to New Orleans, and Nancy Lee
to Birmingham. Jeanne Levie and Joan Pruitt went to Westminster,
S. C, and Dee Vann travelled to Florence, Ala.

And by the way, the old Monday night crew of the NEWS, Pris
Sheppard, Betsy Hodges, Joan Simmons, Joyce Munger, and Vivian
Weaver were guests of Caroline Reinero for dinner on Sunday.

Alice Thornton and Caroline Lester are now sporting pins, Alice,
a Beta pin and Caroline, a Sigma Chi pin.

Bye, bye now. And remember, girls if your "certain" one's
fancy has not been turned yet by the spring and Cupid, take heart.
There are 66 more days of spring and It's sure to get him sooner or
later!

9-8 in the second thriller.

Despite the lack of a complete
team, the spunky seniors, sparked
by the clutch hitting of Ann Bax-
ter and Frances Cook, bunched
19 hits for 10 tallies to come from
the trailing position to victory.
Mary Be^h Robinson, pitching her
usual effective game, tightened up
in the pinches to quell several
sophomore threats. Trailing 6-5
in the top of the last inning, the
seniors gleaned nine of their hits
off soph pitching for five big runs
which proved to be their victory
margin. Coming to bat in their
half of the inning, the sophs start-
ed a rally which fell short after
providing two additional runs, giv-
ing the strong seniors their initial
victory. Nan Arwood was the de-
fensive mainstay for the losers,
and shortstop Molly Pritchard
cracked a long homerun off senior
hurling to cop offensive honors.

The final game of the day prov-
ed to be a tight defensive scrap
in spite of the rather high score,
each team choking opposing
threats at opportune moments.
Never relinquishing an early-in-

Softballers Open Title Race;
Upperclassmen Are Victorious

By Carolyn Wells

Last Friday the senior and junior softball teams squeezed

by their lower class opponents in the opening games of the

season to take the lead in what promises to be one of the

closest athletic races of the year. In the initial game the

seniors sent the determined sophomores to defeat, 10-8, and

the juniors downed the freshmen /

ning five run lead, the junior team

displayed excellent teamwork to
choke the steady battery of frosh
hits which threatened to catch
and overcome their elders. Fielder
Julia Grier and third sacker Carol
Jones, collecting half of the ju-
nior blows between them, blasted
their hits in the proper spots to
bring home their teammates on
the sacks. Barbara Huey and
Sally Wilt boomed three doubles
to lead the freshman offense.

This week the seniors will meet
the juniors in the opening game
and the sophs and frosh play the
second tilt. The games will be
played on Thursday instead of
Friday because of the Leadership
Training conference being held.

Wasted Talent

"If interested, please sign below ..."

How many of us pass by notices of this type and never give
them a second thought? And how much potential talent on
this campus is going to waste because these notices are ig-
nored?

No one can expect the editors of publications, club leadvs,
and class presidents to be able to single out the girls who
can write, those who can sing or dance or those who can
draw. It's up to the girls themselves to take the initiative
and let their interests be known.

This is especially true of class projects. How often have
you heard (or said) "It's always the same little group that
does everything"? Yes, it usually is the same little group
that does everything because that little group happens to
be made up of peoeple who are INTERESTED and who
aren't afraid to let it show.

Of course, everybody worries about those who feel ig-
nored and left out because they are never asked to "do any-
thing." But if these people insist on keeping their talents
hidden, how can they be identified?

There is certainly nothing to lose by signing up to do
something you enjoy and there may be a great deal to gain.

Conference Criticisms

Those students who failed to attend the Leadership Train-
ing conference last Friday missed an excellent opportunity
to understand the philosophy of leadership, to discuss or-
ganization and parliamentary procedure, and to learn the
techniques of various offices. The conference, sponsored by
Mortar Board and Lower House, proved invaluable not only
to the new officers but to all interested students who at-
tended.

The conference was well planned; the "Philosophy of
Leadership" is a topic of interest to all. The talks on par-
liamentary procedure proved how little we understand the
technicalities of organization. The Lower House skits "Be-
fore" and "After" provided a diversion from the more seri-
ous discussions. The interest groups, which met to discuss the
responsibilities of various campus offices, highlighted the
program.

The conference on the whole was excellent. It might have
been more effective if the assembly had been condensed and
if the group discussions had been included in the afternoon
program. Many students were not able to attend these "af-
ter-dinner" sessions which proved to be a valuable part of
the program.

We appreciate the work of Mortar Board and Lower House
on the first Leadership conference. It should be an annual
program to encourage all officers and students not only to
develop leadership qualities but to improve the campus or-
organizations. C. C.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Fellow Editor:

I have recently come into the
?.1itorship of Aurora, our college's
literary magazine. I feel that I
am faced with the responsibility
of editing a publication which
should both ideally and practic-
Mb- serve as a means of rec-
ognition of creative talent at Ag-
nes Scott, as a source of pleasure
and enjoyment to the student
body, as a worthy representation
of our college to the institutions
which exchange magazines with
us.

We all know that literary tal-
ent and literary aspiration are
not lacking at Agnes Scott we
see them through our English
classes, Folio, and BOZ. So why
is it that when the deadline for
s'bmitting material to Aurora
comes, there is not enough mater-
ial for an issue in the box in the
mailroom. Why must the staff
scurry about in frantic haste to
wrest manuscripts from their au-
thors in an effort to produce an
issue of which you will be proud?

Those two questions were my
"punch-line." Read them again.
Aurora does not belong to its
staff that would be no justi-
fication for its existence. Aurora
should be of the students as it is
for the students.

If you write, why don't you
contribute? Sure, you may be
"rejected" that happens to all
great authors. You need to get
started, and so do we.

You who don't write could help,
too. There are always suggestions
to offer and we, with three is-
sues before us, are ready and will-
ing to listen.

Charlene Shanks did a splendid
job with Aurora, as those of us
who worked with her know. But
I am lazy enough to wish to be
spared the unnecessary blood,
sweat, and tears of those by-gone
deadline days.

It's your magazine. What are
you going to do with it ? Deadline
date is April 25.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Madame Editor,

Did you ever hear the story of
the Poor Little Rich Girl? You
probably didn't, so I'll tell you
( . . . Everybody who feels dis-
agreeable don't read any further.)

Once there was a poor little
Rich Girl who up and went to col-
lege. She was headed for the time
of her life . . . she thought. What
kind of time? Why a lovely, gay
"Sophisticated" Time, of course!
Well, there she was, landed with
a bang.

Days passed . . . weeks . . .
months. Our Little Rich Girl
studied here and there mostly
there. One day there was a Ball
Game. Little Who Cares (that was
her name) listened from the Smo-
ker or was it the depths of the
Stacks? ... or did she even lis-
ten?

Then there were always class
projects. Poor W. C. just knew
Someone Else could do the job
better than she. And Someone
Else usually did, or at least tried.
Class didn't need her at all. Of
course, she never suspected Some-
one Else felt guilty doing every-
thing.

Oh well, she had her love to
keep her warm (she was lucky)
and "Besides," thought Poor
Thing;, to herself, "Class . .
Shmass . . . I'll be out in three
vears ( ? ) and I have other things
to think about." What Who Cares

How To Be a BWOC

In Ten Easy Lessons

By JO AX SIMMONS

Once there was a college cutie named Aggie Activity. Dur-
ing her first two quarters as a freshman Aggie became bored
with her simple routine of two dates a week, 10 hours of
study a day, and the phone duty which was pushed off on
her every night. In her soul Aggie felt the stirrings of igreat-

ielt reasonably sure of accept-
ance), the glee club (her husky
bass had proved a perfect sub-
stitute for a metronome), the
eraser cleanc.s club, the garden
club, even the society for the pro-
lection of campus goldfish. Ag'gie
felt that her tremendous qualities
of leadership had proved them-
selves. Although she could only
hop on one leg she had been ac-
cepted into the dance group by
promising that she would provide
refreshments at each rehearsal.

But this hour of bliss swiftly
came to a close. One day Aggie
ealized that she had 12 meetings
scheduled for the same time. She
kept receiving assignments
through the mail since none of
the groups seemed willing to elect
her an honorary member. Finally
7he had been janitor of five clubs
and in spite of her straight A
average her duties were weighing
on her. On the #same day Aggie
v e?eived a notice to come to the
DO. She had been caught up
with. Yes, she had exceeded her
point average. In despair Aggie
withdrew from all the groups ex-
cept one, her real love, the bird
watchers' club. Ah woe, she
thought. I shall never become a
wheel.

But when Aggie began to de-
vote all her time to her one ac-
tivity she was elected chief bird-
watcher. She, too, was a BWOC.

Moral: You, too, have your
place.

ness. Aggie was determined to
become a WHEEL.

As a starter Aggie studied the
wheels which she knew. One had
buck teeth and wore size 12 shoes,
another had the science lab droop
and could talk knowingly on imag-
ery in Shakespeare. But Aggie
had none of these stirring qual-
ities. Finally it became clear to
Aggie what all the BWOC (big
women on the campus) had in
common. They all were engaged
in extra-curricular activities.

Aggie dashed to the bulletin
board. Oh joy! Tryout after try-
out. Join this, join that. For
the next two weeks Aggie cut all
her classes. She signed every
list, attended every tryout. She
became a familiar figure about
the campus. People pointed her
out.

The great day finally came.
With fear and trembling Agie
went to her mailbox. (Suitable
background music.) She opened
the box and was knocked down
by a shower of acceptances .

didn't know was what she meant
was, "I don't know why I'm here
I wasn't anybody at first no-
body sees my talents they don't
care enough to dig them out. I'm
SO unnecessary." But the Class
cared very much Indeed. After all,
what was a Class anyway? A
bunch of who cares? No, indeed.

One day during Spring Elec-
tions, this was the scene. The
Class officers were completely ex-
hausted from their year-long at-
tempt to arouse Class Spirit,
which was a predestined failure
from the start. The ones who at-
tended were old faithfuls anyway
and the misinformed Indifferents
were not to be contacted. There
was utterly no way to instill Pride
in Campus, Concern for Class
Record, Desire for High Stand-
ards, or Concern about Leader-
ship, in the Apathetics, party of
W. C.

Maybe- the faithful, worried
s:roup was like some teachers and
just couldn't see how some peo-
ple's children could be so Inert.
At any rate, they felt they could
not make anyone care who did not
want to.

But Poor Little Rich Girl and
her like were missing something
Big not getting into the Swing of
things.

Moral: No room in the Swing
for him who don't help Push!

Scotties Caught In Scramble
Of Tech, Davidson Weekends

By JANE LAN DON

The girl pseudo-humorist has now turned into a bona-fide snooper.
What they wanted for this column was someone who could spend
their Friday and Saturday nights in the D. O. seeing who's going
where. They came to the right place.

This past weekend was really worthy of a spread in LIFE maga-
zine. It could be called, "LIFE Goes to a Few Parties." It really
wasn't raining inside.

Big event on campus was the Junior banquet ably planned by Sue
Purdom. The food was great, the Senior Opera was great, and the
dance was great. (Can't find any other adjectives my roommate
is asleep in the room with the Thesaurus.) Could print a roll of the
junior class they really turned out in great style.

Sharing the spotlight was Ye Olde South Ball. Those with the
hoops and ruffles were Jane Davidson, Norma Chamblee, Joan Adair,
Betsy Hill, Harriet Griffin, Margaret Jones, Fran Jones, Dee Cun-
diff, Linn Lash, Mary Lou Daniel, Margie Young, Mary Land, Con-
nie Curry, Betty Reiney, Carol Edwards, Betty McFarland, Dora
Wilkinson, Eleanor Estes, Pat Spivey, and Lib McPheeters, among
others.

Also a big affair was the ATO formal at Tech. The guest list in-
cluded, among others: Mary Ann Warnell, Mabel Milton, Letty Graf-
ton, Jo Ann Hall, Connie Ormsby, Ruth Posey, Evelyn Mason, Linda
Smith, Grace- Olert, and Joan Thompson.

Some of our number left Decatur for Davidson big weekend.
Those who traveled, among others, were Cotton Williams, Elin
Krohn-Erichsen, Peggy Bridges, Shirley Calkins Emmie Hay, Barbara
Upton, Barbara Fleshman, Nancy Thomas, Alvia Cook, M. E. Clark,
and Jane Frist.

Another crew went to Cleveland, Tenn., for the Tech Sigma Chi
houseparty. Zo Anderson, Margaret Burwell, Ann Bowen, Katherine
hanna, Hannah Jackson, Claire Flinton, and Jean Levie went, among
others.

The Chi Phi's at Tech had a shindig Lucy Murray, Lynn John-
ston, Marji Henderson, and Kitten Cumbee showed up.

Virginia Clift has now joined the ranks of the Rock-on-the-Left-
Handers.

So much for our social life. (Always write in the first person
plural, the book says.) If any of you are going any place, either
write me a note to the effect or sign out for the party in your house-
book and I'll try to catch it. Then there can be no complaints, Au
revoir, hasta manana, and auf wiedersehn!

'Rigoletto' To Open
1953 Opera Season

The Metropolitan Opera Associa-
tion has chosen for the 1953 sea-
son in Atlanta four famous and
beloved operatic productions:
"Rigoletto", "Samson et Dalila",
"Cosi Fan Tutte", and "Tosca".

"Rigoletto" will open the season
on Thursday even, April 30,
with Leonard Warren in the title
role, Richard Tucker as the Duke,
and Hilde Gueden as Gilda. ''Rigo-
letto", with its tale of intrigue,
treachery and revenge and its
melodic score by Guiseppe Verdi,
richly deserves its position as one
of the all-time favorites of opera-
goers everywhere.

On Friday evening, May 1,
"S?mson et Delila" will be given
with Rise Stevens as Dalila, Kurt
Baum as Samson, Sigurd Bjoerling
as the High Priest, and Norman
Scott as Abimelech. "Samson" is
the work of an admirable musi-
cian, Camille Saint-Saens. It is
colorful, beautifully orchestrated,
and highly dramatic. The choral
writing is solid and telling. The
character of Dalila, the temptress,
which dominates the opera, is
built by Saint-Saens through the
rich sensuality of the music.

The Saturday matinee, May 2,
will be Mozart's sparkling comic
opera, "Cosi Fan Tutte" with El-
eanor Steber as Fiardiligi, Blanche
Thebom as Dorabella, Roberta

Legg Leads Sophomore Crew
To First Diamond Win of Year

By Donna McGinty

Last Thursday blue skies and chilly weather set the stage
for the one softball game of the day. The two defeated teams
of the previous week sophs and frosh crossed bats in a
scrappy match resulting in a sophomore victory, 12-9. Un-
fortunately, the junior-senior skirmish had to be postponed

sively to score.

Bouquets of roses to: frosh on

due to a shortage of "woman"
power. Their game was made up
yesterday at 4 p. m.

In Thursday's game the fighting
frosh came to bat first. Louisa
Allen started the ball rolling with
a solid single and then stole sec-
ond and third base. Sally Wilt
connected for a single and drove
Louisa in for t) e first score of the
ball garne. Tiny June Mansour
banged a double and Wilt crossed
the plate for run number two.

In the top of the second inning,
as the scoreless sophomores trot-
ted to their respective positions
in the field, freshman spirit in the
bleachers was lively. It became
even livelier as teammates Car-
penter and Huey tagged home for
two fnore runs, bringing the score
to 4-0, frosh's way.

Next time up, the determined
sophs took a firmer stance over
home plate and Curry and Legg
each chalked up a run. But the
sophs had their heydey in the
bottom of the third inning. With
one out Carolyn Wells stepped up
to the plate, gripped the bat firm-
ly, swung, and made it safe to
first. What followed was like a
chain reaction. Wells, Arwood,
Prichard, Knight, and Curry kept*,
the dust around home plate stir-
red up as they came in succes-

tiie bleachers who had compli-
ncnts fqr their opponents even
in defeat, 'Mrs. Story for her sin-
cere umpiring, and Sarah DaVis
(scorekeeper) for her courage and
mental nimbleness. Special roses
o Julia eeman who "peppered"
he game with * her own special
dnd of sliding, running, and
atch.

This Friday, at 4 p. m., the se-
liors and frosh tangle, followed by
the juniors and sophomores. Both
Tames should be good. So come
n out . . . support your team.

Virtues Of Point System Date Book Izzie Was To Bus ^

Or. Just Relax. Girls

Service to class, organization, school, or community has
two potential dangers. First, it is possible for one girl to
assume a conglomeration of offices and thus prevent a spread
of duties among others who are also capable of leadership.
Second, she may also accept more responsibilities than she
is able to manage and thus cause irreparable damage to an
organization.

Not monopolizing the offices for which she is eligible,
but rather choosing and effectively accomplishing the task
for which she is best fitted assures a girl's success. No one
can hope to successfully manage every organization on cam-
pus or to remove all their defects. We must agree with
Chaucer that to strive "all crooked to redress" is unwise.

Agnes Scott's point system was devised to insure a fair
distribution of work as well as of honors. Let's keep within
our class point allowances. J. M.

Symptoms Of Spring

Springtime has made itself very obvious recently. Its
evidence is in the appearance of spring flowers, spring birds,
spring sun, spring rain, and spring fever. As did the flu
last quarter, this epidemic has claimed a majority of Agnes
Scott students its victims. This time the infirmary is not
quite so crowded. Spring fever is not new. People every-
where have their annual attack; They always have, they al-
ways will. It is as real a pitfall to students as the sopho-
more slump or the Monday after the house party.

Times of epidemic are trying, but they must be met and
taken in stride. The sun continues to rise and set, days in-
variably pass, classes meet, there is work to be done. Spring
quarter, on the college calendar, is just as much a part of the
school year as the two previous ones. Its schedule is jiist as
packed with labs, tests, papers, and routine assignments; its
schedule is one which, as any other, must be met.

You may often feel that the odds are against you the day
too beautiful, the walls and books too confining, the outdoor
world too inviting, the cuts too eager to be used. But in spite
of this, the work remains. Students must never let them-
selves forget that the purpose of college is not to coddle the
victims of spring fever but to train and enrich the minds of
its scholars. Do the work first. There is time to bask after-
wards. There will always be another spring; there will
never be another spring quarter, 1953. C. W.

Trustee Is Leader
In Church Circles

Mr^. S. E. Thatcher, a success-
ful mother, homemaker, and
church leader, is a trustee of Ag-
nes Scott College.

Born in North Florida, Mrs.
Thatcher attended private grade
school and public high school in
Georgia. She graduated from Ag-
nes Scott in 1915 and the follow-
ing year held a fellowship in
chemistry. She married Samuel
Eugene Thatcher after his return
from service in France during
World War L

MRS. S. E. THATCHER

During the years she lived in
Atlanta, Mrs. Thatcher was ex-
tremely active in both the Atlanta
Agnes cott club and the Alum-
nae association. Serving as chair-
man of the entertainment com-
mittee of the Alumnae associa-
tion, she was in charge of the
first trustee's luncheon given at
the college in those years. She
was elected president of the Al-
umnae association but served only
a short time because of illness.

In Miami, Florida, her present
home, 'Mrs. Thatcher gives most
of her time to Sunday school and
Church work. She is also an in-
terested participant in the activ-
ities of the Garden club, the Mi-
ami Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa
and the Miami Opera guild.

Mrs. Thatcher feels that "there
is no better way to forward the
work of Christ in the world than
to train young women for Chris-
tian leadership."

By JOAN SIMMONS

Once upon a time there was a high school Harriet named
Isabel I'lldoitmyself. In class one day, wearing her usual
ballerinas and socks, she decided to do' a little apple-polish-
ing and offered to clean the erasers. Her teacher was so
surprised that she gave her an A for the course. From that

time on our enterprising young-
ster was known as AP Izzie. Isa-
bel felt so unwanted that she
spent all her time in the library
studying, instead of going out and
stealing cars with the rest of the
kids.

Finally Isabel was diplomaed
and her doting parents straight-
way packed off to a conservative,
highly-rated (and endowed 5 with
cultural and social advantages)
college for young ladies. Now,
thought Isabel, I will prove my-
self. I will be a good, well-round-
ed, popular, shiny-nosed ail-Am-
erican girl. I 'will DO MY PART
and PARTICIPATE. I will cul-
tivate AWARENESS and become
a LEADER.

Isabel's plans worked according
to schedule. First she joined the
poetry club. Her comrades quick-
ly realized that they had in their
midst a superior being and gave
her first chance to read at all the
meetings. Next she went out for
athletics . . . being six feet four
and weighing 200 pounds she im-
mediately became the mainstay
of all the school teams.

But still Isabel felt that she
could render even greater, service
to her college community. So
she joined the*paper and the an-
nual staff, four language groups
(English, Pig-Latin, Lower Slob-
bovian, and Old Icelandic) and

Woodruff Is Active
In Business World

An interested and active trus-
tee of Agnes Scott College is
George W. Woodruff.

Born in Atlanta, Mr. Woodruff
attended Georgia Tech and Mas-
sachusetts Institute of Technol-
ogy. He is married to Irene Tift
King, whose mother attended Ag-
nes Scott.

Mr. Woodruff is the Chairman
of the Board of the Continental
Gin company. He is also a direc-
tor of the Coca-Cola company,
the Trust Company of Georgia,
the Atlantic Steel Company, the
West Point Manufacturing Com-
pany, and the Coca-Cola Bottling
company of Stamford.

every other club on campus. Being
a strong healthy girl with a typ-
ing speed of 2000 words a second,
our little sweetie found herself
doing all the work around the
campus. At first she would ask
people to help her write 100 page
reports and move pianos but fin-
ally she decided it would be easier
if she just did it all herself.

The time came when the course
to becoming an active figure of
the college community did not run
smoothly. In the poetry club Isa-
bel had so much to read aloud
that there never was any time for
anyone else to read, so all the oth-
er members resigned. In athlet-
ics she had become a one woman
team in every sport, so nobody
else needed to play. In her work
on the paper and the annual she
started doing everyone's work be-
cause she could do it much faster.
In languages meetings she always
knew so many words the other
members couldn't keep up. And
soon nobody ever moved pianos
but Isabel. Isabel was really a
"sweet, friendly girl with a GOOD
ATTITUDE and really enjoyed
being a martyr so she couldn't
understand why the people she
helped by doing all the work stop-
ped giving her friendly slaps on
the back and asking her to date
"a wonderful boy, not very good-
looking, but he has a wow of a
personality."

When the time came for Isabel
to graduate the heads of the col-
lege found that she had been car-
rying on all the extra-curricular
activities single-handed for so long
that nobody else knew how to
handle them. They were so wor-
ried about what all the girls would
do with their spare time that they
made the college co-cd. As for
Isabel, she decided to become an
arctic, explorer and investigate the
love life of penguins.

MORAL: Statistics prove that
a higher percentage of women at-
tending girls' schools marry than
women attending co-educational
institutions.

Gap-Nacoochee School, a trustee

Tech Alumni Foundation, and the

Foundation, which was founded
by Mr. Woodruff's parents and

IFC, Cotillion Dances Attract
Campusites In Spring Formats

By JANE LAND ON

If it wasn't the Cotillion Club formal dance it was the Tech Inter-
fraternity Council shindig, and as if that wasn't enough to occupy
the little girls here at A. S. C. the Emory medical school and Xi
Psi Phi dental fraternity also held dances. All in all, the weekend
was a big one and a good time was had by all.

Can't begin to include the list of girls who attended the Cotillion
Club party, but will shout a sincere "Thank you" to Hannah Jackson
and her committee who so capably managed the affair.

Didn't even tire of hearing Ralph Marterie play "Caravan"
among the million girls seen at the T-Day game, the tennis court
dance, and/or the city auditorium with the engineers were Vivian
Weaver, Evelyn Bassett, Betty Richardson, Mabel Milton, Connie
Ormsby, Evelyn Mason, Ann Walrath, Nansi-Lee Smith, Mary Land,
Ruth Posey, Letty Grafton, Sidney Newton, Katherine Hanna, Lou-
ise Ross, Donna Dugger, Katherine Cumbee, Hannah Jackson, Harriet
Griffin, Mary Ann Warnell. Frances Sistar, Lilla Kate Parramore,
Memye Curtis, Frances Blakeney, Jean Gregory, Martha Lee Bridges,
Deche Armstrong, Joanne Barrett, Jean Drumheller, Marty Duval,
Mitzi Kiser, et al.

The crowd at the med school dance included Carol Hancock, Jackie
Josey, Eleanor Hutchinson, Harriet Durham, and Bonnie Sanders.

With the dental students, who are always down in the mouth
about something, were Keller Henderson, Betty Stein, Ruth Gud-
mundson, and Ann Lowrie Alexander.

Also best wishes to Carolyn Tinklepaugh who received the white
star of Sigma Nu during the week!

Also big news the boss, Joyce Munger, received a beautiful ring
this weekend. Glad to see the paper got out.

So much for the big doings . . . won't hurt to study a little bit
this week . . . have to make up for the classes we slept through
Saturday A. M. . . . keep working on the suntans, maybe the pools
will open someday soon . . . love to all the girls whose names were
left out because of spatial confinements (just made it up . . . means
lack of space?).

Sister Classes Surge
To Lead In Title Race

By Carolyn Wells

The senior class took the definite lead in the softball strug-
gle last Friday by downing the stubborn freshman nine,
13-7. The sophomores crept nearer their sister class into
the second place spot, defeating the juniors in a runaway
affair, 16-7.

The freshmen opened the game
with a barrage of hits led by a
long homerun off the bat of Jus-
tine Stinson to jump to an early
3-0 lead. But the power-laden
almost-grads applied the wood to
the hide with such force that the
frosh lead crumpled before the
battery of blows. ^ When the
smoke of the first two innings
faded into nothingness, the senior
team held firmly to a fat 11-5
lead which they never relinquish-
ed. They picked up their final pair
of tallies in the third as Ann
Thomson and Frances Cook
cracked blows off frosh hurling to
bring their sack-bound teammates
across the plate. The never-say-
die spirit burned in frosh playing
right up to the final out. Catch-
er Joanne Miklas crossed to score
single runs once in the third and
again in the final inning in a des-
perate attempt to overcome the
senior crew.

In i the nightcap, the sophs
jumped to an early 10-1 lead in
the first pair of innings, widening
their lead in the following frame
to 16-5. The juniors added two
additional scores to their total in
tneir half of the fourth, to estab-
lish what proved to be the final

count of the affair, 16-7. Molly
Pritchard and Sally Legg,. effi-
cient southpaw chunker for the
sophs, provided the punch behind
the attack in each of the second-
year big innings, the second and
third. Smashing a double to open
the second and a long homerun
in the third with two on, Molly
gleaned three hits and scored
twice to lead the offense for the
afternoon. Sally helped her own
game considerably by poling long
balls to register a double and
triple to her credit. She was also
the defensive thorn in the junior
game, limiting third-year blows
effectively.

Pat Patterson played one-man
softball to close off soph threats
in the final stages of the brawl,
displaying rather steady defen-
sive play in a game which other-
wise could be termed "a comedy
of errors" with respect to the
field play of both teams.

In the fourth double header of
the season the sophs will try to
avenge themselves as they meet
the only team to send them to de-
feat this season, the seniors, in
the opener at 4 p. m. next Fri-
day. The juniors and frosh tangle
in the second seige at 5 p. m.

New 'Life' Exhibit
Shows Old England

The art department has arrang-
ed to show "18th Century Eng-
land," a new exhibition essembled
by the editors of "Life Magazine,"
beginning May 6 and continuing
through May 28. It is in the third
floor art gallery.

"18th Century England" is bas-
ed on the article by that name
which appeared in "Life's" His-
tory of Western Culture series.
Much unpublished material has
been added to the exhibition how-
ever, and the result is a colorful
panorama of that age of contrasts.
England of the 18th Century saw
daily life turned into an "art" of
great elegance, and at the same
time saw the drab beginning of
the age of industrialism. It calls
to mind not only the gentlemanly
precepts of Lord Chesterfield and
the stateliness of country houses
but also the ferment and squalor
of I-ondon where a tenth of Eng-
land's population lived.

From the distance of the 20th
Century perhaps the heart of 18th
Century England appears to have
been that little section of London
f hat is still dominated by the
dome of St. Paul's aCthedral.

Vacation Progress

Exam schedules, trousseaus for many departing seniors,
the approach of inactivity week, this last issue of the NEWS
before the graduation issue,, these and many other signs her-
ald the advent of the summer season.

Four weeks from yesterday the doors of the dorms and
class, buildings will be closed. The last meal will be served.
Another year will be behind us, and only memories, a shelf
of well-thumbed textbooks, a sheaf of dusty programs of
dances, plays, and school events will represent a year of
work and of play and, perhaps, of progress.

Let's make this progress extend into the vacation season.
Oh yes, summer is a time to relax and gather the energy for
another year of work. While we do this, however, we can
also accomplish something worthwhile. Now is the time to
consider how to spend the summer. Perhaps the ideas of
some of "the forward-looking students will be of assistance to
the slower ones, so here are a few suggestions.

Not everyone can afford to travel abroad without pecun-
iary assistance. One junior has solved this problem by ap-
plying for a position with a Friends work group in Mexico.
Such an experience will prove not only entertaining, but also
educational and, doubtless, serviceable. A freshman has been
accepted as a waitress in a resort hotel in upper New York
state. This should be profitable, entertaining, and inform-
ative. Several sophomores will do social work in the settle-
ment houses of New York City.

These are just a few of the interesting jobs which Agnes
Scott students will be doing this summer. We could men-
tion countless others which are serviceable, educational, or
just plain fun.

If we can not spend the summer in any exciting way such
as these, if we are not planning to take summerschool
courses or to be counselors at camp, still let's not just waste
three months. If nothing more, we all can at least add to the
list of 'good books we've read. J. M.

In Gratitude

Agnes Scott, like most other colleges, continually strives
for improvement. Looking back over the past school year
we find many individuals and groups who have worked to
make our college what it is. Although we can not thank
everyone individually who has contributed, we would like to
recognize the following who have made outstanding contri-
butions:

The faculty and administration for displaying their tal-
ents in "Shellbound II," that the students might appreciate
them more fully . . .

Dr. Alston, whose appropriate and inspiring convocation
talks have deepened the faith of many students . . .

Lower House, who not only bought a badly-needed sew-
ing machine, but aided Mortar Board in sponsoring a suc-
cessful Leadership conference . . .

Athletic Association whose new barbecue pit has been
the site of many outdoor picnics . . .

The senior and junior classes whose ingenious productions
of "Kiss Me Agnes" and "Glory Be" entertained the whole
campus community. C. C.

Simmons Foils Santa.
Childhood Playmates

By Joan Simmons

I am usually a happy-go-lucky, sociable introvert but there
are times when I feel set apart and begin wondering about
my mentality. One of these times is when my doddering
old college mates begin talking of their lost youth. The
youthful eccentricities I once considered quite ordinary

appear steeped in Freudian over-
tones in the light of my friends'
disgustingly normal childhoods.

These cosy little sessions usu-
ally begin with some such insipid
remark as "Golly, I used to have
fun when I was little. Those were
the days!" (I LOATHED being a
child. My happiest playtime hours
were spent in imaginings of how
I would blow up the courthouse
or set fire to the hospital.)

They usually go from here to a
discussion of how the happy play-
time hours were spent. "I spent
all my time playing dolls." (I de-
tested dolls. I smeared mine
with catsup and pretended they
were dying, then buried them in
the backyard with a suitable fu-
neral. I did the same thing with
ants.)

"The little girl next door was
my best friend; we played toget-
her every day." (I thought my
contemporaries were babbling idi-
ots because they evidenced not
the slightest interest in the details
of the manner in which a man-
eating tiger would rip you apart.)

I usually keep my mouth shut!
while my friends state they al-
ways believed EVERYTHING
their parents told them at an ear-
ly age. (I always had a firm be-
lief that I was a princess in dis-
guise or the kidnapped child of
circus bareback riders and there-
fore disregarded in advance any-
thing my doting parents told me.
As they wondered sometimes
themselves, they never bothered
to disillusion me.) As for Santa
Claus and other 9uch myths, I
knew the location of every toy in
the house the Christmas I was
three.

4 T was a cute little thing. Peo-
ple used to stop on the street to
Dat me on the head." I hated
people. Nobody would pat ME
on the head for fear I would bite
them. I often did. I was certain-
ly never called cute, possibly be-
cause of the wide assortment of

horrible faces that I employed
whenever anyone looked at me.)

When my friends begin talking
about boys N I really begin worry-
ing about my mentality. "Johnny
Smith was my sweetheart in the
fourth grade." (I considered boys
some lower form of. animal life. I
used to climb trees and drop
bricks on them.)

Better late than never for a
mother's day plug. With the help
and understanding of a lovely
mother I did an almost complete
about-face. Perhaps my most in-
teresting change of heart was
that concerning my relations with
the opposite sex. And so I be-
came the sweet, lovely, charming,
beautiful, adorable, friendly, un-
affected girl I am today. And SO
modest.

Donees, Dooley Compensate
For Dampened May Day Plans

By JULIA BPEMAN, Quest Editor

Thursday dawned bleak and dreary. The Scotties had almost for-
gotten what old Sol looked like, but even in the dim light they could
discern a boney figure loping across the wet campus "borrowing"
umbrellas. What wuz it? DOOLEY, of course, who was to make up
for some of the "Xo-May-Day-on-account-of-adverse-weather-reports"
disappointment. j

Consoling their guests were: Harriett Griffin, Jackie Plant, Mar-
jorie Young, Ann Bowen, Sandra Dickson, Sara Dudney, Alice Ann
Klostermeyer, Sally Wilt, Dottie Holcomb and Jane Childers.

Being consoled by Dooley were: Joen Fagan, Margaret Williamson,
Betty Reiney, Margaret Rogers, Rookie Smith, Carol Edwards, Nancy
Burkitt, Harriett Griffin, Donna McGinty, Marian McElroy, Nancy
Thomas, Berta Jackson, Carolyn Moon, Harriet Durham, Ann Syl-
vester, and a "Den" of others.

Having had their gaiety drowned sufficiently by rains, Barbara
Battle, Margaret Burwell, Diana Butler, Claire Flintom, Barbara
Huey, and Jane Stflbbs partied back into life at a Sigma Chi rush
party at Tech while Harriette Potts, .Louise Harley, and Betty Mc-
Farland "shooed" their limp feelings away at a formal dance at the
Phi Delt house at Tech.

Peggy Bridges, Harriet Hampton, Louise Robinson, Mickey Scott,
and Nancy Clark went up to Davidson to Phi Delt, Kappa Sig and
KA formals. Carolyn Wells, Mary Nell Mobley, Judy Welch, and
Carolyn Crawford picnicked with the Tech Kappa Sigs in Greens-
boro, Ga.

Two Sweeties were more than consoled. Harriette Potts was chos-
en Sweetheart of the Tech Phi D'elts and Carolyn Crawford took the
roses as ATO sponsor at Davidson.

And those roses remind me, Mary Dean trotted up to Louisville
to the Kentucky Derby so she probably got dust instead of mud
in her eye.

Best consolation of all went to Ann Walrath, who received a beau-
tiful diamond ring.

Campus Poll Attempts Answer
For Grill vs. Dining Hall Issue

By Carolyn Crawford

"Come on, let's go to the grill toni'ght. We're having seat-
ed meals." This statement is heard so often up and down the
halls of Rebekah, that my curiosity urged me to find out
what people in other parts of the campus think about "serv-
ed meals." I immediately decided a poll would solve
my problem. I excitedly rushed
down to the smoker, and brought
to a sudden stop a raging game of
bridge. "Seated meals, ugh."

Mabel Milton, noticing my dis-
couraged face, constructively sug-
gested that tables be assigned to
students fall quarter for the ben-
efit of the new freshmen, but that
winter and spring quarters stu-
dents should be allowed to sit
wherever they wish.

Marian McElroy immediately
piped out that she liked seated
meals. "They give me that relaxed
luxurious . feeling."

Much encouraged, I raced to In-
man to see how the conscientious
felt about the subject. Norma
Bainbridge and roommate, Nor-
ma Chamblee, congenially agreed
that they liked the theory of ev-
eryone eating at the same time
but felt that once a week was
probably enough. Linn Lash will-
ingly suggested that if a senior
and junior should select four com-
patible people there would be
much less indigestion. Linn's main
objection is that she has no se-
lection of. food when a plate is
placed before her.

'My eagerness mounted as I
crashed an orientation party con-
centrating on the task of assign-
ing sophomore helpers. Betty
Stein said seated meals serve a
definite need, but probably aren't
worth the expense and trouble.

She thinks once a week is often
enough to use this means of dis-
playing gracious living.

Running down the steps I
bumped into May Muse, who opti-
mistically stated, "Well, frankly,
I made a lot of good friends that
way." She thinks assigned seats
are an excellent idea because you
can get to know people you never
see otherwise. By this time a
crowd had gathered. Nancy
Thomas and Nonette Brown
agreed that they liked to sit with
whomever they wish.

Slowly returning to the news-
room, I met Alice Nunnally who
also thought people should be al-
lowed to sit where they wish. At
my destination Joyce M linger ex-
pressed her opinion. "Seated
meals are not only a great ex-
pense, but a hardship on the help
and the dietician. Often incon-
genial people are placed at the
same table, causing ungracious
rather than gracious living."

I sat down to type more bewil-
dered than ever. Upperclassmen
think seated meals are fine for
freshmen, but freshmen seem to
object the most.

Arwood, Allen Spark
Underclass Victories

By Donna McGinty

The softball scramble on Fri., May 1, was no Kentucky
Derby, but there was an upset. The undefeated senior nine,
favored to keep their winning streak, were downed 11-2 by
the long-shot sophomores who, like Dark Star in the Ken-
tucky Derby, showed their opponents flying heels during

the entire struggle. The fighting
frosh took the inside rail to a
10-4 victory over the juniors.

The senior-sophomore game
proved to be a run away for the
graduating lassies' little sisters,
even though Mary B. Robinson
stopped the quiver in her bottom
lip (C. F. "Kiss Me Agnes") long
enough to pitch a fine ball game.
Franceses Cook and Blakney
stomped pay dirt for the two sen-
ior runs while teammate Ann
Thompson made third base a dan-
ger spot for runners.

Sophomore high scorers were
Nan Arwood and Molly Prichard.
Nan got two hits for three times
up and scored twice; Molly hit
three for three and brought in
three runs. Betty Jacks partic-
ipated in several double plays;
Sally Legg showed her usual- fine
pitching form.

The cellar door opened a frac-
tion Friday and the freshman
team quickly poked a foot in.

erful hitting, Barbara Huey's

steady pitching, and Justine Stin
son's home run, the frosh, in spite
of a determined junior defense,
captured their first diamond vic-
tory. Joen Fagen, Julia Grier,
Pat Patterson, and Carol Jones
romped in for the juniors' four
runs. The frosh collected four of
their 10 tallies in the first inning
and four more in the last inning.

Summary of the season: the
frosh have won 1 game and lost
3; the sophs have won 3 and lost
1; the juniors have won 1 and
lost 3; and the seniors have won
3 and lost 1. This means that the
sister classes are battling each
other for first and second places
seniors vs. sophs for first and
juniors vs. frosh for second. With
just two more games scheduled
for the season it should prove an
interesting race.

The game set for Fri., May 8
was postponed but the double fea-
ture slated for that afternoon car-
ried over into this week.

THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Monday. June S. 1953

June 8, 1953

Four years of work are now behind the Class of '53.

The exams and term papers, still a ghastly reality for the
rest of us. are now only dim memories for them. While we
will continue to burn the midnight oil to put the finishing
touches on that Shakespeare term paper or to learn the im-
portant (and the unimportant) facts for that history 215
test, they will smile at our anxiety and wonder if they them-
selves ever worried over such trivial details.

Yes, all the necessary evils of college life are behind them
now tests, labs, papers, signing in and out, and all the
rest. But all the fun which goes with college is behind them,
too. Let's hope they will long enjoy the memories of friends,
bridge games in the smoker, football games, dances, and all
the other pleasures which lighten the tasks of college.

The Class of '53 has met all the requirements for gradua-
tion. They have passed all the tests which the faculty could
devise for them. We know they will be just as successful
wherever they go. They have not just memorized formu-
lae and laws and principles in their courses. They have
learned how to live with people, how to endure under sus-
tained pressure of required work, and how to pack two days'
work into one, which is the final test of an Agnes Scott
graduate.

Gqod luck to the Class of '53! We'll miss you. J. M.

expensively and easily stored.

The library has ordered the

iodicals and books may be obtain-
ed on the film as well as any out
of date material.

The library staff and commit-

body, appreciates this progressive
and generous gift.

'53 Graduates Tell Plans
From Trips To Wedding Bells

Rv jam: laxdox

Approximately 29.27 r / of the Class of 1953 will receive the MRS
degree shortly after carrying their AB scrolls away from Gaines chap-
el. Can't begin to compile a complete list, so forgive me if I have
made errors. The best of everything to these girls, and it just "shows
to go" you that you CAN go to a liberal arts college for women and
still bring home the bacon!

Margie Thomason will be married on June 27, Keller Henderson on
July 11, and Belle Miller on June 19. Doris Clingmah will take her
vows (doesn't this sound like a high-faluting society column?) in
New Orleans on June 25: and Barbara West will be married on
June 13 in Johnson City, Tenn. Mary Ann Garrard's date is June
20; Margaret McRae's, June 30; Flo Hand. June 12: and Adaline
Miller, August 29.

Betty MeLelland's wedding will be on June 27: Lindy Taylor's
June 14; and Marion Merritt's. July 1.

Dele Thompson, Mary Beth Robinson, Roberta Williams. Ann D.
Jones, and Sue Peterson all plan to be married early in the fall;
ar.d Kitty GofL Mary Holland, Helen Tucker, Barbara Johnston,
Ellen Hunter, and Jackie King are all planning weddings in the next
few months. Again, the most happiness in the world to every one of
you!

Travelling to Europe this summer, from among the graduates, will
be Carol Lou Jacob, Louise Ross, Mary Evans, Patty Morgan, Ann
Baxter, Bertie Bond, Ann Cooper, Ann T. Jones, Anne Thomson, et
al. Please don't tear it up before the rest of us can get there.

Others in the class will be beginning jobs all over the country,
teaching school, going to graduate school, in other words, entering
the cold, cruel, but thoroughly challenging world.

Also, Rosalyn Kenneday asked me to announce that she will be
"at home" in Meridian, Mississippi, this summer. I'm sure that any-
one passing through would be welcome.

Good luck, best wishes, and everything else trite to everyone, but
this is one time that it is sincerely meant!

DR. JOHN A. REDHEAD

Redhead Declares
Diploma Insufficient

"What is the use of religion,
anyway?" was the question asked
by Dr. John A. Redhead, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church
of Greensboro, N. C, in the bac-
calaureate sermon, June 7, in
Presser hall.

Dr. Redhead said that it is easy
to think that "religion is only an
elective in the university of life,
pleasant to live with, but not im-
possible to live without."

However, he pointed out that
religion can give us three gifts
that no money can buy and no dip-
loma can guarantee. In the first
place, religious faith helps us
stand up to life because it gives
us something to stand on. It
puts meaning not only into our in-
dividual lives, but also in history.
In the second place, faith gives
us something to stand on. It
takes confusion out of life and en-
ables us to know right. Third, the

ASC Spanish Club

Class Poem

By Charline Tritton Shanks

Seniors, to some, are identical
items,

Filled up and labeled and stamped
"ad finitem."

Bt de-capped and sampled for
content and savor

They each have their own indi-
vidual flavor.

Christian religion gives us Some-
one to stand by us, Someone who
can reach out and steady us.

Turning to the seniors, Dr. Red-
head said a diploma is not enough.
In addition one must have a way
of looking at life, an idea of con-
duct, and a Companion to go with
one. These can be found only in
the Christian religion.

AS Students Seaward

By Carolyn Wells

This school year is only a memory, now, and the girls of
the college community are busy flinging themselves into
the activities of the summer months. Quite a few of our
luckier schoolmates will find their way across the wide At-
lantic to foreign lands to gorge themselves with the sights of
the Continent which will provide

plans to return from London July
29.

Six alumnae, still damp behind
the ears, will leave college days
far behind in a big way, sailing
July 1 for France, England, Italy,
perhaps Germany, and points
abroad. Anne Thomson, Bertie
Bond, Anne Baxter, Anne Cooper,
Carol Lou Jacob, and Ann Jones
(maybe she'll believe that they
make things bigger than Texas
somewhere, now!) compose the
sextet of care-free grads who
have planned a mammoth list of
experiences for their two month
stay abroad.

Newly crowned Queen Elizabeth
II has a treat in store for her
when our gracious campus queen,
Harriette Potts, will visit and be
received by the Queen July %
Harriette, accompanied by Virgin-
ia Lee Floyd and Caroline Lester,

next year.

Of special interest to all is the
Experiment in International Liv-
ing sponsored anonymously each
year by a college benefactor. Lou
Hill, of Decatur, has been chosen
to live abroad with a Scottish
family this vacation. The exper-
iment has been 100 per cent suc-
cessful since its instigation, and
there is no doubt that this stint
in the lake country will breed true
after the pattern of the former
tests.

Among the earlier departures
for the lands of dreams was Tfot-
tie Holcomb, a rising junior, who
left amid a flurry of trunks and
farewells in the middle of exam
week. Dottie sailed from New
York on June 5, on a Brownell
tour which will include France,
Germany, and Switzerland. She

Feature Writer Tells Story
Of Graduation Caps, Gowns

By Julia Beeinan

(Daybreak.) Cap opened one eye. Gown wiggled a toe
and turned over.

"I guess you know what today is finally," said Cap. u Yes, to-
day is finally, I agree," replied Gown, sleepily. "Oh you know
what I mean it's Graduation Day our day." "Jellybeans,
that's right, old chap I'd al-

most forgot!" Gown jumped up.
"We'd jolly well better be getting
up. what?" suggested Cap. "Wake
everybody up." (Groans and
stretching, yawns and tumbled
covers among Caps and Gowns.)

The Assembly of Caps and
Gowns began bustling about, shak-
ing out wrinkles and stiffness.

Their Big Day just once a
year they took their places on
the backs of thankful, exuberant
or sad graduates and made them
look their part. What an Honor!
What? an Honor? To be stepped
out of afterwards, stuffed back
in a box and banished into storage
for another whole year? What
if they didn't show up for their
annual Duty-Honor? That would
be something to tell their 'grand-
children about.

So what does this Assembly de-
cide to do? Why, hide of course,
somewhere where nobody could
find them for hours even. Then
they would come out and every-
body would be so glad to find
them. Maybe just maybe, they
would be appreciated at last.

'Where would no one ever
look for graduation Caps and
Gowns?" asked one. "On a hanger
or in drawers?" piped a pipsqueak
of a Gown. "Be quiet, Shorty,"
growled a gross Gown, "let me
think. We can't hide in the li-
brary, because all the girls have
become too attached to it to stay
away long. And the Infirmary
is too popular. I guess the best
thing to do is to hide in the Smo-
ker. Nobody ever goes there for
fear of sinus or asfixiation."

None of the other members of
the Assembly disputed the Auth-
oritative one, so the plot was set.
"Synchronize your watches. It's
1032.14. We will make a dash for
it at precisely five finutes before
the service and surprise all the
entourage 15 minutes later." (Gig-
gles.)

Meantime graduates make other
vital adjustments, and almost si-
multaneously a cry exudes from

all seniors almost-emeritus

"My Cap and Gown!" (Mad shuf-
fle and complete confusion for
several minutes.) All rush togeth-
er and are frantic until five min-
utes before graduation. Mad dash
toward stairs to be used by intri-

'1953 And All Thaf

By Priscilla Sheppard

Some 20 years ago two Englishmen wrote a "complete and final" history of England
which contained all the facts one can remem ber, including "103 Good Things, 5 Bad Kings
and 2 Genuine Dates." Their story, entitled "1066 and All That," ended on page 113 with
the statement that since America was clear lv top nation, "Historv came to a . " This was
a Bad Thing.

This afternoon, therefore, we
are here to consider what has tak-
en place since History ended for
the* English. Our history is en-
titled "1953 and All That," and
it, too, is guaranteed to contain a
number of memorable Bad Things,
memorable Good Things, and two
Genuine Dates.

September 17, 1949, is a mem-
orable date, memorable at least
for those of us who have not been
able to forget it. It rained. Aside
from the rain, 148 freshmen also
arrived in Decatur, and our mem-
orable history began. Ginger ale
and peanut butter pulled us
through the first week, but we
did not really begin to get into the
college routine until the sixth
week of school when we learned
that chapel, vespers, and hall
prayers were not compulsory.

"Atomie-Cat"

We made our first memorable
appearance in public with the
presentation of "Atomie-Cat" at
the annual Black Cat stunt night.
The News described our skit as
having an "ultra-realistic plot of
scientific secrets," and it is per-
haps significant that within a
week after our presentation, a
campus-wide campaign to change
Black Cat was underway. This
was indeed a Good Thing.

Our class also made a memor-
able record in the sports field our
freshman year. Having gained a
reputation from our unblemished
record in the hockey contests (we
lost them all), we went on to im-
prove our standing in the swim-
ming meet, where we came in
third.

Some class members sought ex-
tra-curricular entertainment clos-
er to home, and Inman seniors
were indeed amused by the after-
twelve games conducted by third
floor residents Doris Clingman,
Miary Lindsey, and company, en-
titled "Garbage-Can-Rolling-on-
Inman-Steps." Second floor res-
idents had their own form of en-
tertainment. Adaline Miller is
quoted in the first edition of the
News in 1950 as having made a
resolution "not to waste her
Christmas Chanel No. 5 at the In-
man perfume fights." This was
indeed a Good Thing.

Home Ec

Perhaps inspired by the success
of the Dek-it contest in the hall in
which, by the way, Belle Miller
and Barbara West won first prize
a green plastic hat box the ad-
ministration Ipegan to discuss the
introduction of a Department of
the Home at Agnes Scott. It was
promised that this was definitely
planned for 1951, but an informal
poll published in the newspaper
revealed that the student body
seemed to consider it a Bad Thing.
Speaking for the freshmen Mar-
garet McRae commented that the
courses, if instituted, should "fit
in with the rest of the Liberal
Arts program" the plan was aban-
doned.

The new year and winter quar-
ter brought Better Things for our
freshman class. Led by Carol
Jacob, we out-measured the other
basketball teams and won most
of our games. We then made a
clean sweep of Junior Joint hon-

ors, with Mary Beth Robinson
winning the Annie Laurie title
and "Macbeth; or, Local Boy
Makes Good" capturing the skit
competition. These were two
Very Good Things.

The rest of the year was rel-
atively uneventful. The Fresh-
man Bible Class party for the
Methodist Children's home offered
some excitement when it was dis-
covered (after the refreshments
and games were ready) that the
guests had not been invited. How-
ever, we have it on the authority
of President Anne Thomson that
the mistake was remedied and
that the show went on two
hours behind schedule.

The only other memorable
events of that year were the two
softball games we won, pitched
by Mary Beth (alias "Miss Fash-
ion Plate" of the Revlon contest).

Our sophomore year was indeed
bright. At last we were on the
giving end of the lime sherbert
and peanut butter and there were
lower men on the totem pole. The
face of the campus had changed
greatly with the addition of the
observatory, the new dining hall
and the new figure in the alumnae
garden fountain to replace the be-
headed one.

The new Black Cat community
day saw the resurrection of by-
gone skits the most memorable
among them being the faculty
quartet's rendition of "Goodnight
Irene" and "Seeing Nellie Home."
We won second place in the song
contest.

Sophs Slump

As usual there was a plea in the
newspaper for more class spirit
namely, more sophomores out for
hockey practice in order that we
might have a team. November
9, 1950, is a memorable date, for
on that day we tied our first
hockey game, 0-0; our glory was
short-lived, however, and the next
week we returned to the defeated
columns, 7-0. We had one mem-

orable player, however, for Char-
line Tritton made the varsity.
This was a Good Thing.

Some of our most ambitious
athletes were intrigued by the an-
nouncement which the News
printed about Outing club tryouts.
Candidates were only required to
"march or travel via bicycle for
nine miles," and to hand in an
outdoor menu for 20 people.

In the next issue of the News
we discovered that Outing club
had taken in a number of new
members, including Ann Baxter,
Vivian Weaver, Margaret Cousar,
Evelyn Bassett and Bertie Bond.
Outing club is now defunct.

With winter quarter came a
new sport speedball and ac-
cording to sports reviews of the
period, Betsy Hodges was our
candidate for Girl Football Hero-
ine.

The basketball season is better
left unmentioned, for the sopho-
more record was not too Good a
Thing.

The Plagrue

The most memorable date of
this period is February 8, 1951
the plague, but since this date is
so well remembered, we will not
dwell upon it except to say that
our class participated in this ac-
tivity almost one hundred per
cent.

Norma Wang won fame ( ? )
some two weeks later when her
room in Main had an encounter
with lightning, and the sprinkler
system mingled with the incoming
rain to make a mess of things.
There were rumors that Main
might be. replaced but they prov-
ed false. This was a Bad Thing.

Soon after these episodes some
residents of Second Rebekah, fir-
ed with the enthusiasm of youth,
felt that there was a dire need on
the campus for a new student or-
ganization dedicated to the pur-
pose of social expansion, and
they set to work on the project
immediately.

darden Club

Thus was organized the Garden
club which has since achieved
undying fame and wide recogni-
tion for its frequent meetings and
its singular purpose. It is believ-
ed to have had great influence in
the promotion of the wellbeing of
underprivileged flowers. 'Virginia
Claire Hays, who was chosen by
the charter members as the embo-
diment of poise, charm and reso-
lute action, led the altruistic cru-
sade for more bushes on the colon-
ade. All sophomores agreed this
was indeed a Good Thing.

During spring quarter Margie's
Arabian May Day went off
smoothly and we ended our sopho-
more year with a burst of energy,
tieing the juniors for the softball
championship and winning the
AA sports cup. This victory was
dimmed by the final game of the
year when, per usual, the faculty
slaughtered the varsity. Early
in the game the Garden club's
mascot, Little Wally Alston, was
injured, and this was a very Bad
Thing. However, he had recovered
by fall when we returned as ju-
niors that is, when 84 of us re-
turned.

Our junior year was an eventful
one. The TV era for Agnes Scott
had dawned, the Garden club was
planning a rock garden for the
quadrangle, the new science hall
was up, and Agnes Scott was lost
in plans for the presidential in-
auguration. All of these were
very Good Things.

Our class was scattered. While
most of us were in Main compet-
ing with the seniors for the ele-
vator, the girls in Cunningham
were maintaining good public re-
lations with Mr. Tart and Mary
Alston, and our classmates in
Boyd were teaching Chizuko, Nor-
ma and Danielle to eat sardines

and play charades. They taught
us a few things also.

YVe tied for top honors in hock-
ey, but the season was marred by
Anne (Dalton) Jones' broken foot.
Although we came in third in the
swimming meet, the newspaper
reveals the fact that the juniors
excelled in comedy. We won the
relay contest which required the
participants to swim the length
of the pool on their backs while
reading the comics and to return
balancing a ping pong ball on a
spoon held in the mouth. We were
indeed a talented class.

Our Junior Joint, directed by
Keller and Charline,* was a highly
memorable "Evening in Paris;"
especially successful was the gen-
uine can-can routine. All agreed
that this was a Wonderful Thing.

February was an exciting
month, especially when Mortar
Board tapped Carol Lou in the
closet on Second* Main.

Spring brought many events:
campus elections, unfulfilled
promises of panty raids, rumors
of peeping toms, a successful soft-
ball season and an Easter Egg
hunt sponsored by the Cunning-
ham ladies at which Chizuko
Yoshimura, who was engaging in
this form of entertainment for the
first time, won the high score
prize. Our class, too, gave a birth-
day party for John Flint in the
dining hall.

"TV Garden

Although the Garden club had
temporarily faded away, one of
our class' most enthusiastic hor-
ticulturists, Anne Thomson, plant-
ed a garden behind Boyd, only to
have tragedy, in the form of the
most violent thundershower of the
year, strike only an hour after the
last seed was planted. A gully,
with three marigolds on each
bank, now marks the spot behind
Boyd. This was indeed a Sad

Thing. (She suffered a similar
misfortune this spring when the
overly-enthusiastic construction
engineers chose her new garden
bed as the site for the new road
to Hopkins hall.)
t Our senior year is memorable
for many events, notably our va-
ried record in sports. After win-
ning second place in hockey, we
came in last in basketball and
then recovered to take the swim-
ming meet and Softball champion-
ships as well as the tennis and
badminton singles all with the
able help of 'Mary Beth and Fran-
ces Cook as well as Lilla Kate,
Sarah Crewe, and company.

We had a memorable Little
Girls' Day, climaxed by an alum-
nae meeting of the Garden club in
chapel. The mascot, Little Wal-
ly, bedecked with beard, was hon-
ored with the presentation of the
same bouquet he had received
30 years previously.

The campus entered into the

national political campaign with
much fervor, and after the elec-
tion this same energy was soon
redirected toward a crusade for a
faculty skit. Inspired by the Po-
sey for Pogo demonstration, the
Leyburn offering of James Met-
calfe and the Friersoh-Calder mo-
torcycle routine at Black Cat com-
munity day (in which, by the way,
the seniors' "Cheese and Brocco-
li" anthem won the song contest),
the students petitioned. The fac-
ulty obliged with one of the most
memorable Good Things of our
four years.

Senior Opera

Winter quarter passed quickly
and with the advent of spring, we
found ourselves in the delightful
position of being "has-beens." As
another class moved up to take
our places, we were engrossed in
the final effort of our skit-produc-
ing career: the Jones-Merritt
masterpiece, "Kiss Me Agnes," an
exceedingly Good Thing.

Mary Beth and Ruth Gudmund-
son made a beautiful pair when
May Day finally took place, and
all agreed that. Louise Ross had
produced a Good Thing. We took
time out during that last month
to elect as our lifetime president
Donna Dugger, who was our very
first class president in those
scarcely memorable days of 1949.

We made one last conquest in
the sports field: the sports cup
for the most class participation
during the year. This, we might
add, impressed the freshmen as
an unbelievable thing.

Before we krtew it we were al-
most full-fledged alumnae, and
Frances Grrm would have no
more labs, D\ig would no longer
have an appreciative audience for
"Storm Fear," Margie Thomason
would have to move her arm chair
down from fourth level, Ann Coo-

per could quit teaching school,
and most of the 28 as the last
count engaged class members
could join the ranks of the preach-
ers' wives association.

Of course 'there are countless
other things which stand out in
our minds as we look back over
our four years at Agnes Scott:
Dr. Alston's convocation talks.
Mr. Stukes' friendliness, Mr. Po-
sey's yellow tie, Mrs. Sims' lec-
tures, Miss Laney's pansies, Miss
Scandrett's teas, Dr. McCain him-
self and the birthday celebration
on his 70th anniversary, Robert
Frost's visits, the Met when
Miss Zenn and Miss Barineau
joined the cast, the Mortar Board
movies with their compulsory in-
termissions, Brownie and Blackie,
the sound of the pipes in Inman,
spontaneous renditions of "God
Save the Queen" in the dining
hall, ad infinitum.

And now our history, like that
of the English, is at an end. Our
last Genuine I^ate as a class to-
gether in college, is June 8, 1953,
and with anticipatioin of gradua-
tion we close our compilation of
memorable history.

History's verdict about our four
years at Agnes Scott is that they
had indeed been for us a very,
very Good Thing.

Faculty Upsets Varsity
In Outstanding Game

By Carolyn Wells

The steaming faculty went into competition with old Sol
on Friday, May 22, and came out way ahead in the torrid
contest to wilt the scrappy varsity nine, 26-3. The entire
seven inning affair was, in spite of the mammoth score, a
great game, if for no other reason than to show the crowd of
enthusiastic spectators that the

Agnes Scott faculty has more than
one side to its personality and
ability! The professors of third
Buttrick underwent a temporary
one - afternoon metamorphosis,
much to the delight of their pu-
pils, to become the kids from fac-
ulty row, packing equally as much
brawn as the brain they had left
in the classroom.

The tremendous margin in the
scoring speaks loudly enough for
itself. It in itself really played
a secondary role in the afternoon
of sparkling individual and team
play. Heading the list is, of
course, that mighty wind-up king,
George Hayes. Adorned with his
own special type of headdress, de-
signed to get the opposing batters
too tickled to swing (as if they
could see the balls!), Georgie
hurled a simply masterful game,
limiting the chosen few to seven
nicely scattered hits. He was
backed most efficiently by the
gap-less infield composed of P. J.
Rogers, IB; Ferdy Warren, 2B;
Ben Kline, SS; and Willie Joe
Frierson, 3B.

It was quite interesting, to note
the special flavor each member
of the infield inserted into the play
around his particular position, re-
flecting with mirror-like precision
each individual interest. For in-
stance, Mr. Rogers behaved in a
most businesslike manner around
the initial sack, and was quite
miserly about letting a ball escape
in his area; Mr. Warren fielded

grounders with the exact preci-
sion and harmony of motion of an
artist. Mr. Kline exhibited ster-
ling logic in ranging beneath and
taking in the high infield flies.
Mr. Frierson was certainly the
most explosive object on the field!
Strat Story did a very stable and
effective job of working behind
the plate, and Lorin Roberts, Pat
Story, and Janet Loring proved
themselves to be excellent fly-
chasers a-field.

In spite of the rather high odds
stacked against them, the varsity
members gave their elders a tough
race. Pat Patterson and Julie
Beeman definitely showed Mr.
Hayes a thing or two about hit-
ting, breaking through the sound
barrier (figuratively) to blast tic-
kets to the bases off his speed
balls. Mary Beth Robinson and
Sara Legg hurled very nice in-
nings, and Anne Baxter, catching,
and Louisa Allen at the keystone,
were bright defensively. Justine
Stinson robbed the faculty of a
certain homer by hauling down a
long, long ball way past the 50-
yard line. Shirley Hurt and Ju-
lie Grier guarded the outer pas-
tures well, also, and Nan Arwood
played her usual steady game
around the hot corner.

McElroy Presents
AA Sports Awards

Marion McElroy. president of
AA, presented the Athletic asso-
ciation awards ( for the year in
chapel on May 21. The Senior
class was presented the Athletic
Trophy for having earned the
most points in sports activities.

Frances Cook, the senior with
the most athletic points through-
out her four years at Agnes Scott,
was presented with a silver bon-
bon dish. Girls winning letters
this year, having earned a total
of 800 points, are Sue Born, Jane
Crook, and Julia Beeman. Sarah
Crewe Hamilton, Lilla Kate Par-
ramore, Joen Fagan, and Kather-
ine Matthews won stars, having
earned 400 points in addition to
their letters.

The softball championship was
won by the senior class, with the
sophs in second place, the fresh-
men third, and the juniors fourth.
Lilla Kate Parramore, a member
of the champion senior team, was
chosen for the softball sportsman-
ship award.

Freshmen, May Muse and Nan-
cy Gay, won the tennis doubles
championship over senior Mary
Beth Robinson and freshman Nan-
cy Burkitt, 9-7, 6-3, in the finals
which were held Wednesday af-
ternoon. May 26. May is the ten-
nis manager on Athletic Board
and president of the newly formed
Tennis club.

The cup for outstanding class
spirit was awarded to the sopho-
mores by Dr. Henry Robinson,
chairman of the judges' commit-
tee.

of Lupton fame, are sailing June
24 on the Queen Mary for Eu-
ropean soil. (Incidentally, it
seems as if they have promised
to bring back a fist-full of Roman
dirt to their cottage mate, Mari-
an McElroy.) Harriette received
her golden opportunity to meet
the Queen through Patty Mayton,
whose personal Continental plans
ran a-foul.

Two other rising juniors will
cross the waters to fill themselves
with Continental lore. Peggy Mc-
Millan is planning to visit every

country that ever even considered
being within Europe's boundaries,
topping the summer of travel via
Marsh tour with the Salzburg
festival in August. Margaret Rog-
ers will sail July 7 on another
Brownell tour for a fabulous
month abroad. Margaret is es-
pecially anticipating her visit to
Stratford-on-Avon, Shakespeare
country.

Without a doubt everyone will
have a magnificent vacation, if
for no other reason than the fact
that it is vacation! A good sum-
mer to you all, and may there be
many happy returns in the au-
tumn.
