Th e nes oco s ttN ews VOL. XXXVIII ~ 3 7 Agnes Scott College, Decatur, Georgia, Wednesday, Oct. 1, 1952 Number 1 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 (Continued on page 3) 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.

Norway, Sweden, Venezuela Lend New Faces to AS Campus Alumnae Board Plans Fall Activities The first meeting of the 1952- 1953 Executive board of Alum- nae association took place today at 12:30 p. m. in the private din- ing room on Campus. Miss Elea- nor Hutchens, alumnae secretary, announced that plans were made for the activities of the Alumnae association for the year. Included in them is an Atlanta Alumnae club tea for high school students scheduled for Oct. 14. On Friday afternoon, Sept. 26, the Alumnae association enter- tained all the new students and their sponsors with a tea in the Alumnae house. Mrs. Frederick Reinero was chairman of the en- tertainment committee. By Joyce Mimger ' 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 (Continued on page 2) 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. The names of the students in- cluded on the honor roll for the (Continued on page 4) Four smiling blondes, pictured with their "History of American People" books are (seated, 1. to r.) Marijke Schepman and Elin Krohn Ericksen and (standing) Mrs Anne Marie Collin and Ulla Bechman. 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.

Foreign Students (Continued from page 1) much impressed by the skyscrap- ers and also by the dirt of New York City, which she thought comparable to London. From New York. Ulla went to Johnston City, Tenn., to visit Barbara West, with whom she correspond- ed as a "pen pal" for several years. It was through Barbara that Ul- la became acquainted with Agnes Scott. Ulla lived about 100 miles from the home of Anne Marie Collin in Sweden but they did not know each other until they met at Ag- nes Scott. Anne Marie's father is president of the Union Scandin- avian Theological School of the Methodist church, and he has lec- tured at Emory University. It was he who suggested that Anne's husband, Lars H. Collin, come to Emory to study. When Mr. Collin learned that he had been awarded a scholar- ship at Emory, Anne decided to continue her education also. Since women are not accepted in under- graduate school at Emory, she was referred to Agnes Scott. Here she is studying sociology and psychology, courses which will be helpful in her occupation as a Drama Group Sponsors Acting Tryouts Acting tryouts for Black- friars will be held Oct. 1 and 2 from 4-5 p. m. in Maclean auditorium, Mary Jo Chap- man, president, announced. Formal initiation of members elected last spring will take place at the club meeting Oct. 2 at 7:30 p. m. in Miss Winter's studio in Rebekah Scotl Hall. '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.

MEMBER Associate Collegiate Press THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, Oct. 1, 1952 3 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.

Freshmen (Continued from page 1) entertained them with a fashion show entitled "When and Where." 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 Day, sponsored by Orientation 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.

Oct. 1. 1952 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.

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 MOSLEY'S Repairers of Fine Watches 140 Sycamore St. Decatur, Ga.

The museum is name din honor of Dr. MacDougall. Graduates Donate Radio, Records The class of 1952 left money to 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. College Announces Additions to Faculty Several new members have been added to the faculty and staff this year, the college has an- nounced. Miss Janet Loring, house resi- dent in Mary Sweet cottage, comes to the speech department from Kansas City, Mo. She re- ceived her B. S. degree from the School of Speech at Northwestern University and her M. A. degree from the University of Kansas City. She has worked with the Kansas City University Playhouse and on a local radio station in re- cent yeairs. At Agnes Scott she will be working with play produc- tion, as well as with speech in- struction. In the education department Charles Wialden is the new assist- ant professor. He received his de- gree from the University of Wis- consin, and before coming here, he worked with the Wisconsin State Department of Education. In this capacity he was in direct contact with the secondary schools and state colleges. At Agnes Scott he is teaching education courses and will supervise practice teach- ing. There are three new assistants in the biology and chemistry de- partments. In the biology lab is Miss Anne Martha Salyerds, and Mrs. W. C. Fox and Mrs. W. W. Hatcher are in the chemistry lab in positions which they held sev- eral years ago. Other new members of the staff are Mrs. Ela B. Curry in the Dean's Office, Mrs. John M. S. McDonald in the library, and Miss Dona Barrett in the registrar's office.

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. '53 Contest Opens For 'Mile' Board Mademoiselle is looking for out- outstanding young women under- graduates for their annual Col- lege Board contest. The twenty best College Board Members win a salaried month in New York to write and edit Mademoiselle's 1943 College issue, which will ap- pear next August. Selection is based on a 1,500 word criticism of Mademoiselle's 1952 College issue, first giving a general discussion of the issue as a whole, and then a detailed cri- ticism of a selected field, fiction, features or fashion. .

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- (Continued on page 3) THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, Oct. 8, 1952 3 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 pmi\; r by the bookstore. We include it this week, trusting that the reader s memory of opening days has not completely faded. Gym Shorts Athletic association will use the blackout system again this year, Ann Baxter, president, has an- nounced. The blackout system was instituted last year, and the present junior class won both quarters it was used. A chart has been placed in the basement of the gym for students :o record their activities. When 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 :hree hours. 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 percentage wins points towards the Sports cup presented each spring by AA.

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 envious of the 18-year-old Geor- gians.

'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.

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 'Carols' by Britten The Agnes Scott Glee Club un- der the direction of Miss Roxie Hagopian, associate professor of music, already has begun work on their Christmas Concert which will be presented Dec. 7 at 5 p. m. in Presser Hall. The main selection will be "Ceremony of the Carols" by Benjamin Britten. Since the Glee Club members believe that this concert will be dne of the best ever presented by our Glee Club, they are urging everyone to put. this date on their calendar far in advance so that they will be sure to attend.

'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- (Continued on page 3) Posey and Pogo Dek-lt Will Judge Freshman Rooms Dek-it chairman Barbara West has requested all freshmen board- ers to have their rooms ready for Dek-it judges next Thursday, Oct. 21.

Results of the judging will be announced in the News Wednes- day, Oct. 29.

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. " . . and then he said, "I want you to wear this/ and gave me his IKE BUTTON. 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 courtesy of Max Schulman) Cin- 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 12 on Saturdays. 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.

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."

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.

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 Atlanta Girls' Club The Junior Atlanta Woman's club has undertaken the estab- lishment of the Atlanta Girl's club.

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 net proceeds of these concerts will go to the Atlanta Girl's club.

Frances Cook and Nancy Lee squared off to bully at four be- fore an impressive crowd of about 75. Displaying smooth team- work, the juniors raced down field to score in the first minutes of the game.

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. Ahd . that's just the way things 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 come as they gave the sophomores a battle to be remembered.

Oct. 22. 1952 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 (Continued on page 3) 'News 1 Sends Three To N.Y. Conference New York, at last count, was the world's largest city. And it will be five or six hundred souls larger when college newspaper, yearbook, and magazine staff members converge upon the Hotel Statler for the annual Short Course and Press convention of the Associated Collegiate press on Oct. 23. 24, and 25. And among that large group will be Joyce Munger, Caroline Reinero. and Joan Simmons, the three assistant editors of the News. Besides the attraction of the 1952 Short Course, the con- ference will be supplemented by the appeal of New York City, not only as the city of exciting places, but also as the center of the na- tion's publishing industry. The delegates will have a bet- ter opportunity than ever before to get first hand advice from the top men in the newspaper, the yearbook, and the magazine fields.

Jerry Kluttz, condensed from "Federal Diary" in "Washington 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, (Continued on page 3) Ed.'s Note: The News prints this week two editorials of op- posing views and one middle-of-the-roader in an attempt to further interest in the approaching election.

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. Betsy Hodges Eisenhower (Continued from page 2) 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 Stevenson (Continued from page 2) 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.

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.

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.

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 next issue will appear Nov. 12. 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.

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.

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.

MEMBER Associate Collegiate Press 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. Byers To Take Part In Librarians' Meet The .

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. THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, Oct. 29, 1952 3 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? Date Book Wed., Oct. 29. Miss Irma Lee Shepherd in Vespers at 6:45 p. m. Thurs., Oct. 30.

Wonderful' Say Editors 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.

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.

Other sight-seeing included a tour of famed Greenwich Village, a ride on the subway, new Broad- way musical, "Wish You Were Here," and ice-skating at Rocke- feller center.

Black and Pink Sally and Virginia used a small black and pink decorating scheme in curtains, bedspreads and for other touches in the room. The judges, Mrs. Annie Mae F. Smith, supervisor of dormitories; Miss Marie Huper, assistant professor or art; and Jane Dalhouse, sen- ior art major from Atlanta, es- pecially noticed the note on the wall testifying to the fact that a Lewis collection print would soon be hung in that spot. The tie for second place result- ed when the vast space of 401 Main was used to create an air of home and not "lostness," while 7 Boyd solved just the opposite situation equally well. Room 113 Inman is one of the rooms in the lobby and the particular problems here have been solved in a prac- tical and attractive fashion. Honorable Mention The judges gave honorable men- tion to Nancy Jackson and Claire Flintom in 100 Inman; Jane Frist and Ann Alvis in 302 Inman; Louisa Allen and Ruthie Norton in 204-209 Inman; Jo Carrison in 5 Gaines; Barbara Mann and Car- olyn Bibb in 9 Mary Sweet; and Ann Gregory and Jane Stubbs in 7 Ansley.

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."

Oct. 29, 1952 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.

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.

Al- ston was elected Kinp; for a Day in student meeting last Thursday. The election, con- ducted by Lower house, was held to illustrate the proposed new system for campus elec- tions. Dr. Alston defeated five other contestants in tin 4 race. The new system eliminated all run-off balloting hy a re- distribution of the ballots ac- cording to second and third choices indicated. Four AS Students Attend Discussion Four Agnes Scott students at- tended the Alabama Discussion conference at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, this past weekend. These students were Pi Alpha Phi members Joen Fagan, Gracie Greer, Betty Jo McCast- lain, and. Joan Simmons. They* were accompanied by Dr. George P. Hayes, professor of English, who served as a panel judge at the conference. The topic for discussion at the conference was "Should the Fed- eral government enact a compul- sory Fair Employment Practices law?" The students were divided into panel groups and discussed the question in five separate stages. Highlights of the confer- ence were the introductory dis- cussion by a panel of experts and the banquet Friday, Nov. 7. Those attending the conference were guests of the college at the Alabama-University of Chattan- ooga game November 8. Scholar To Discuss 'Arab Heroic Man' Professor Louis Massignon of the Sorbbnne, Paris, will speak at 8 p. m. in Maclean auditorium on Wednesday, Nov. 19, under the auspices of the University Center. Dr. Massignon is professor of Islamic sociology in the College of France and the School of High- er Studies at the Sorbonne. The U. S. appearances of this distin- guished scholar at Columbia Uni- versity, the University of Chicago, University of Southern California, and elsewhere, are sponsored by the American Council of Learned Societies. The title of his Agnes Scott ad- dress is "The Arab Ideal of Heroic Man." This will be Dr. Massig- non's only appearance on this campus, his other lectures being scheduled at Columbia Theological Seminary and at Emory Univer- sity, the Candler School of The- ology. Exam Board Gives Membershio to AS Agnes Scott College became a member of the College Entrance Examination board at a meeting of the board last week in New York, which Miss Laura Steele, director of admissions, attended.

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 (Continued on page 4) Seniors Elect Class Members Who's Who in American Col- leges and Universities" selected 10 Agnes Scott seniors for the 1953 chapter last week. They are Ann Baxter, president of Athletic association; Ann Cooper, vice- president of Student government; Donna Dugger, president of the senior class; Keller Henderson, orientation chairman; Carol Lou Jacob, president of JMortar Board; Anne (Dalton) Jones, vice-presi- dent of Christian association; Margaret McRae, president of Christian association; Belle Mill- er, president of Student govern- ment; Priscilla Sheppard, editor of Agnes Scott News; and Margie Thomason, member of Christian association cabinet. The students were chosen by the senior class, approved by an ad- ministration committee and ac- cepted by the "Who's Who" board. Art Dept. Sponsors Maya Art Display The Art department is current- ly sponsoring two exhibits for the benefit of the campus community. The "Life" Magazine exhibit, "An- cient Maya," will be on display Nov. 10-26 on the third floor of Buttrick hall. The exhibit is assembled from several hundred photographs made by Dmitri Kessel on his "Life" assignment in Central America. They include thorough documentation of four major Ma- ya centers of population: Copan and Palenque in the Old Empire, Uxmal and Chichen Itza in the New Empire. The Art department has also assembled a display of original artists' Christmas cards in Room 322 Buttrick hall. Visitors are welcome at all times except Tues- day, Wednesday, and Thursday from 9:30 a. m. to 4:30 p. m. C. A.

Member of Community 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. Nov. 10 "Newsweek" 2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, Nov. 12, 1952 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.

MEMBER Associate Collegiate Press Campus Expresses 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- SQUELCHED 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.

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?

THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, Nov. 12, 1952 3 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.

'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.

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. Ellington's Grocery 307 E.

XXXVIII Agnes Scott College, Decatur, Georgia, Wednesday, November 19, 1952 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.

The group will decorate and put up the trees on Dec. 16. After- wards the girls will be guests of the hospital for lunch. Meeting To Stress CollegeCooperation The Agnes Scott Board of Trus- tees will meet tomorrow at 4 p. m. for a joint meeting with the faculty and the staff of the col- lege. The purpose of this meet- ing is to provide an opportunity for the board members to become better acquainted with the staff and faculty members. George Winship, chairman, will preside over the business meeting after which Dr. Emma May Laney, Dr. Walter Posey and Dr. Catherine Sims will speak on various as- pects of faculty life. The group will attend a dinner together in the Letitia Pate Evans dining hall at 6 p. m., after which there will be a coffee in the li- brary. They will also attend the Blackfriars' play that evening. The library will close at 5 p. m. that afternoon and will not be open in the evening. 2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, Nov. 19, 1952 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 night, Nov. 23, at 6 o'clock in Maclean chapel. There will be a directed meditation, quiet music, and an appropriate worship center arranged by the club. A commit- tee from the club, Claire Flintom, Rameth Richards, Carol Stroud, Nancy Jackson, Sarah Davis, and Virginia Love, will be in charge of the arrangements and will write the meditation. Mary Beth Robinson, CA coun- 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, to take Thanksgiving gifts to the old people and to hold a short Thanksgiving worship service. Also they will be in charge of the sale of T. B. Christmas seals to the campus community. These seals will go on sale soon after we return from Thanksgiving holidays.

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 Ticket Needed? For Sale?

S THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, Nov. 19, 1952 3 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.

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." Joyce Munger, junior, suggested that fteople try to come early. "It's very disturbing when people come in late and have to hunt for their places. The squeak of the door is so annoying."

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. Club News Coition Club Cotillion club is holding formal tryouts this week, and today and tomorrow are the final days. This afternoon the function is a tea, and the final function is a formal dance.

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. (Continued 'on page 2) 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. Glee Club to Present Annual Carol Concert Trustee Is Named To Church Position Dr. Marshall C. Dendy, an Ag- nes Scott trustee and pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Orlando, Fla., has just been nam- ed executive secretary of the Board of Christian Education by the Presbyterian Church, U.

"Dr. Dendy now holds the top position in the educational pro- gram of the Southern Presbyteri- an church," Dr. Alston comment- ed. He will take over his duties in Richmond next month. President, Dean Attend Conference Dr. Wallace M. Alston, presi dent, and S.

Dean Florence Brinkley of Duke, formerly of Agnes Scott, is chair- man. The next issue of the Agues Scott News will appear Wed- nesday, Jan. 14. Students Will Sing For Dorms, Faculty Those who wish to go Christ mas caroling are to meet in Mur phey Candler for coffee and do- nuts on Sunday, Dec. 7, at 6:30 a. m., CA president Margaret Mc- Rae announced today. They will then sing carols for the dorms and faculty homes. Harriette Potts is in charge. Dr. Wallace Alston will be in charge of a Christmas candle- light communion service on Dec. 14 at 6 p. m. in Maclean chapel. Georgia Belle Christopher and Peggy Bridges will be in charge of a sophomore committee which will handle the arrangements. All faculty, families and students are invited. Arts Theater Gives Cards The dean's office has iden- tification cards to enable the students and teachers to get reduced rates at the Peach- tree Arts Theater. They may be received by requesting them at the dean's office. 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 Diana's flaming, decollete gown Tucker Seeks Help In Trimming Trees Helen Tucker, day student chair- man, announced that the trees for Grady Hospital which Agnes Scott students are to decorate for eight wards will be decorated on Dec. 19. The dimes which have been collected from the college 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- ing students help make the dec- orations. The workroom will be Round House on the north side of Rebekah Scott Hall. Winter Announces Faculty Committees "Shellbound 1952" will be presented by the faculty in Presser hall Jan. 17, 1953, Miss Roberta Winter, chair- man of the faculty revue, an- nounced today. Miss Winter revealed also an incomplete list of the prin- cipal committees. The steer- ing committee of which she is chairman includes Misses Omwake, Wilburn, Barineau, Scandrett, Phythian, Loring, Trotter, and Hutchens and Mrs. Lapp. Miss Trotter is chairman of script committee which in- cludes Misses W i 1 burn, Hutchens, Garlington, and Jacob. The music committee is composed of the members of the department with Michael McDowell and Miss Hagopian as chairmen. Further details will appear in the Jan. 14 issue of the News. couldn't have been more killing to Marcela's sweet pink.

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. 1 *cCaid Library Will Give Open House for Campus The McCain library is hav- ing cpen house Sunday after- noon, Dec. 14, # from 3-5 p. m. when Christmas books will be on display.

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 ~ : r-conditioned t u e church* Wiggins, Stukes Attend Macon Educa'i^n Council Dr. S.

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.

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 Ellington's Grocery 307 E.

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.

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.

MEMBER Associate Collegiate Press THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, Jan. 14, 1953 3 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.

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?

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- Buice fir Gaines Service Station BATTERIES, TIRES REPAIR SERVICE ACCESSORIES Corner College and McDonough DE. 9172 Visit or Phone THREADGILL PHARMACY For Prompt Delivery DE. 1665 YOUR NEAREST DRUG STORE Freshmen Elect Roberts, Loring Faculty Sponsors The freshmen elected their class faculty sponsors last week.

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."

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, (Continued on page 2) Two of the young lovers of "Love's Labor's Lost/' currently ioini..g attraction of Players Incorpor- ated, are Diane Mannarino and Gil Rathbun. Miss Mannarino is playing her first season with the national repertory company, and Rathbun his second. In the Shakespearean comedy they play Kath- erine and Dumian.

The public is invited to this lecture, which will be in the Emory Hos- pital auditorium at 8:15 p. m. Dr. Hadas, an Emory alumnus, has come to Atlanta under a grant from the Committee on Visiting Scholars of the University Center in Georgia. Juniors to Spotlight American Past Feb. 7 By Joyce Munger "Glory Be," 1953 Junior Joint, will be presented Saturday, Feb. 7, at 8 p. m. Jane Landon and Vallie Burnett, cochair- men, revealed today. They assure us that even Dr. Posey will learn some new facts about American history to teach his History 215 class. The proceeds from Junior Joint will go to our Greek war orphan and to the World Student Service fund. General admission is 50 cents per person. To view the produc- tion from a table the charge will be $1.50 per couple. The class w hich collects the largest sum of money on a percentage basis will see its class queen crowned queen of Junior Joint. Each class, except the juniors, will present a skit on some phase of American history. The co- chairmen say that for this light- er, brighter side of American his- tory there is a large store of mu- sic, dances, jokes, and background material from which to draw. Dancing will follow the skits. Ralph May's orchestra will play from 9 to 12 p. m. Lynn Johnston is chairman of music; Sara Swanson van Schoick decorations; Genevieve Guardia, costumes; Marilyn Vance and Dot Fincher, dance; Katherine Hef- ner, scenery.

'Love's Labor's Lost' Here for First Time Players Incorporated will pre- sent "Love's Labor's Lost" Satur- day in Presser hall at 8:15 p. m. All seats are reserved and each Agnes Scott student is entitled to a free ticket. No tickets will be distributed at the door, and Dr. Emma May Laney, Lecture associ- ation advisor, has requested all who may have failed 'to get their tickets last week to contact Ann Potts at once. Players Incorporated, now tour- ing the nation for its fourth sea- son, has recently performed at Randolph-Macon college, VMI, and Hollins. Praising this company-, the Mil- waukee "Sentinel" states, "Lovers of good theatre are earnestly ad- vised that here is a company of actors worth walking five miles to see." The Dubuque "Telegraph-Her- ald" says, "Players Incorporated is performing a great service to the American theatre." In Indiana, the Indianapolis "Star" prints, "Talent is what Players Incorporated has to of- fer." Faculty Revue Pictures Leah Fine, photographer for the News, took all the pictures of "Shellbound II" appearing in this issue. H She will print extra copies of the separate pictures for those who order them. Frost Will Lecture, Address Freshmen Students and faculty are look- ing N forward eagerly to the thir- teenth visit to the Agnes Scott campus of Robert Frost, who ranks among the greatest of con- temporary American poets. Mr. Frost will speak in Presser hall Wednesday, Jan. 28, at 8:30 p. m. The lecture will be free to all, and the public is invited. Mr. Frost will be on campus several days.

Olert To Be Speaker For Religious Emphasis Week Religious Emphasis week will open at Vesi>ers, Sunday, Feb. 23-27. Dr. Frederick Ol- ert, pastor of the Second Pres- byterian church, Richmond, Va., w ill he CA's guest speak- er for the week. Further in- formation about the program for Religious Emphasis week will be announced later. 2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, Jan. 21, 1953 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.

Here the floor show features the Two-Tone Twins (Miss Shepherd and Mr. Wiggins) trombone and 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!

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^.

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." 5 - 10 - 25c STORES Successors To: Weil's 10c Stores 150 Sycamore St. Decatur, Ga. Frosh, Sophs Lead In Spirit Cup Race According to statistics showing the amount of class spirit fall quarter, the freshmen led in the percentage attending hockey games, while the sophomores had the highest percentage at class meetings, Judy Promnitz revealed today.

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 she will lead a panel on "Special 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 seven states. The program is un- der the direction of Special Events Chairman Dorothy Cremin Read, '42. Featured on the program are Dr. Muriel Harn, professor of German and Spanish, Rev. C. Ben- ton Kline, assistant professor of philosophy, and Priscilla Shep- pard, a senior student.

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.

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.

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 HEARN'S Ready - to - Wear Jantzen Sweaters Lingerie Hose 131 Sycamore Street 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. ^fJotoMTMity!

The national honorary classical fraternity will meet on the Agnes Scott campus April 10-11 with 46 chapters repre- sented. "The Coephori," or "Libation- Bearers," is considered one of Ae- schylus' best works. It is the sec- 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.

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. Faculty To Address AS "Alumnae Clubs Two members of the Agnes Scott faculty will speak to alum- nae groups in observance of Foun- der's Day. Dr. Catherine Sims, associate professor of history and political science, will speak in Birmingham on Feb. 25. Miss Ro- berta Winter, assistant professor of speech, will speak in Charlotte, N.

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. Dr. James Ross McCain 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- CLASS NEWS Although .all of the classes are still recuperating from the hard work of preparing for Junior Joint, they are carrying on other projects. The freshman class announces that the mysterious freshman mascot is due to make its ap- perance soon. The festive Valentine appear- ance of the dining hall was due to the work of the sophomores. Another of their projects is the philosophy discussion on Tuesday afternoons at 5 p. m. in the Mc- Kinney room. Dr. Alston led the first two of these informal talks, speaking first on "Forming a Philosophy of Life." Last week he spoke on "Evil." The senior class is now making plans for Senior opera, now sche- duled for mid-April. Anne "Dal- ton" Jones and Marion Merritt are chairmen of this committee. The seniors were also respon- sible for the blood donor drive on this campus. 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."

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. Our Now Location Across From King Hardware Moody - Ellis Jewelers Expert Watch & Jewelry Repair Phone EV. 4961 136 Sycamore Street 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 Flowers For Every Occasion Fairview Florists DE. 3309 301 Church St. COX MUSJC SHOP Latest with the HITS on Decca, RCA-Victor, Columbia and Capital SHEET MUSIC 161 Peachtree Street MA in 2378 Students Are Always Welcome at COLLEGE INN DINING ROOM or CURB SERVICE 2271 College Ave. Phone CR. 2933 MAKE YOUR HOME At HOTEL CANDLER When Visiting DECATUR, GA.

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.

ALSTON, President THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, Feb. 18, 1953 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- Atlanta 56 Pryor Street, X.

Handicapped by the ab- sence of several soph players, the second-year team trailed at half- time 20-6, but caught fire in the second half to gather 11 points against the frosh 17. Freshman guard May Muse was especially effective in blocking soph attempts, and Barbara Bat- tle, Barbara Huey, and Virginia Love worked together, setting up several scoring opportunities for their forwards with interceptions and cross-center returns. Sally Legg stepped in and fill- ed some big shoes for the soph forwards, and did a bang-up job in her basketball debut. Harriet Hampton. Georgia Belle Christo- pher, and Betty Anne Jacks gave the freshman offensive some pret- ty bad moments, blocking shots and stealing the ball to hamper frosh scoring. 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.

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. Ellington's Grocery 307 E.

JUDY PROMNITZ '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- continued on page 3) 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.

He will sing popular arias from "Lucia di Lammermoor" by Donizetti and from "Pagliacci" by Leoncavallo and other songs.

The meeting is scheduled for 5 p. m. in Room 207, Campbell hall. 2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, March 4, 1953 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. Trustee Establishes Mobile's Boy's Club 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 Date Book Wed., Mar. 4.

It's getting so the only resources for a few minutes diversion are "Life," "The Saturday Evening Post," and "Mademoiselle." If the number of subscriptions has to be cut, the reduction should be made in the old journals no- body reads. Remember that in keeping with the Agnes Scott ideal we want to be well-rounded. If the library doesn't want to help, I guess I'll have to turn to my roommate's "Photoplay" and "True Confessions." Name Withheld. Humanities Group To Meet on Campus The members of the Emory Hu- manities club will be the guests of the Agnes Scott faculty on March 9, at 7:30 p. m. at the an- nual meeting in Murphey Cand- ler.

In 1951 Mrs. Water- man was voted "Mobile's First Lady," Mrs. Waterman has four sons. Her life's chief interests are her four grandchildren and her home, Cannon Gate, which is one of the beauty spots of Mobile. Among her many philanthropic gifts Mrs. Waterman gave a large sum for the building of the new Cotillion Club Katherine Hanna is the chair- man of the Spring Cotillion for- mal which is being planned for April 25th.

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 Miller Announces Nominations Details Belle Miller, president of stu- dent government, has announced that nominations for elections will take place in student meeting chapel, March 26. The student elections will take place Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, April 6, 7, 9, and 10, following Holy week. Class nominations and elections will be held as soon as campus nominations are complet- ed and they may extend to the next week. The new election system will be employed during these elec- tions. 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.

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. HAL L. SMITH Mr. Smith manages to find time from his many business, civic, and church activities to enjoy boat- ing on Lake Allatoona and play- ing golf.

MEMBER Associate Collegiate Press 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. Students to Plan Courses, Select Majors by April 18 All students must file course cards for the next ses- sion by Saturday, April 18. At this time sophomores will select their majors and will arrange- their schedule of courses for their junior and senior years. Professors have posted of- fice hours when they will meet with students who de- sire conferences. Students are requested to observe the hours posted for conferences. 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. President Attends Southern Meeting Dr. Wallace Alston president, attended the Southern University conference, April 8-9, at Edge- park, Mrss. Fifty southern col- leges and universities which are formally on the approved list of the Association of American Uni- versities, were represented by the president or appointed delegate. Agnes Scott is a charter mem- ber of this group of liberal arts institutions stressing quality work. THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, April 15, 1953 3 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!

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.

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. G. L. 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.

MEMBER Associate Collegiate Press 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. Thank you, Nancy McLaurine Lee 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 . the drama group (she had recit- ed "Mary had a little lamb" and Gilbreath Will Give Musical Program Mrs. Lillian R. Gilbreath, in- structor in piano, will present her annual recital April 26 in Presser Hall. The program will include: Organ Concerto in D Minor by Bach-Vivaldi; Sonata Opus 78 by Beethoven; Intermezzo Opus 116 no. 4, and Intermezzo Opus no. 116, no. 3 and Rhapsody Opus 119 no. 4 by Brahms; Preludes Opus 32 no. 5 and Opus 32 no. 8 by Rachmaninoff; Poisson d'Or by Debussy; and Lesghinka by Lia- pounow. 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! Sincerely, Julia Beeman Cotillion Announces Theme for Formal "Over the Rainbow" is the theme chosen by the Cotillion club for its annual formal Sat. April 25.

THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, April 22, 1953 3 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.

'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 (Continued on page 4) of the local chapter of Phi Reta Kappa.

ALSTON, President THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, April 22, 1953 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.

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.

April 29, 1953 3 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.

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.

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 Ellington's Grocery 307 E.

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.

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. (Continued on page 3) 2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, May 13. 1953 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.

MEMBER Associate Collegiate Press Trustee Evans Is Donor of Cafeteria A well-known trustee of Agnes Scott is Mrs. Letitia Pate Evans for whom the dining hall is nam- -d. Born in Bedford, Va., in 1872, she is the daughter of Major Cor- nelius and Elizabeth Stagg Pate. She was educated in private schools in Virginia. In 1894 she married Joseph Brown Whitehead, who died in 1906. She married Colonel Arthur Kelly Evans in 1913. Mrs. Evans is president of the Whitehead Holding company in Atlanta and is Chairman of the Board of the Joseph B. Whitehead foundation. She is a member of the Board of Directors of Coca-Cola company. Mrs. Evans has given many do- nations. She gave 3 million dol- lars to Emory University hospital. She donated money for ambu- lances during World War II and for air raid victims in London. She is a trustee of both Emory University and' Agnes Scott. She and her friends were instrumental in giving us the dining hall, and she has taken interest in having a guest room at Agnes Scott fit- ted as an eventual momorial room. Mrs. Evans has been the recipi- ent of many awards, among them the Order of the Purple Heart and Wings of Britain. Mrs. Evans is a member of the Order of the First Families of Virginia and Americans of the Royal Descent. (The Duke of Windsor is her cou- sin). She makes her home at Mal- vern Hall, Hot Springs, Va. Trustee Bradley Is Well-Known Pastor S. Hugh Bradley, a friend and trustee of Agnes Scott, is known to many students through his pastorate at Decatur Presbyteri- an church, where he has been minister since 1943. Dr. Bradley was born in Kueling, China, where his father was a' prominent medi- cal missionary. His father oper- ated one of the best known hos- pitals in China. Dr. Bradley was graduated from Davidson college in 1923 and from Union Theological seminary in Va. in 1927. He also took his Th.M. and his Th.D. at Union sem- inary. He married Agnes Blake of An- derson, S. C. They have one sen, Hugh Blake Bradley, who also graduated from Davidson, is now is in the United States army. Dr. Bradley's ministerial work has taken him to Rapidan, Va.; Roanoke Rapids, N. C; Norfolk, Va.; Charleston, S. C; and now Decatur. He has been a member of the Presbyterian Board of World Missions for many years and was sent by this board to the Far East for a study of mission work. Dr. Bradley is active in all phases of church work, and has a genuine interest in the religious life of Agnes Scott. Stein Announces Meeting Of '54 Sponsors, Helpers Betty Stein, orientation chairman, has set a tentative date for the first joint meet- ing of the sophomore help- ers and junior sponsors on Tues., May 19. 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. Date Bonk Wed., May 13. Dr. Alston in Con- vocation.

How Ck/jcious Cfirv THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday. May 13, 195:5 3 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.

For further information, address WALLACE ML ALSTON, President 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. Ellington's Grocery 307 E.

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. Sparked by Louisa Allen's pow- erful hitting, Barbara Huey's Visit or Phone THREADGILL PHARMACY For Prompt Delivery DE. 1665 YOUR NEAREST DRUG STORE 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. , Atlanta 56 Pryor Street, N. E.

MARY BETH ROBINSON A Year's Work Display in Library Highlights Eight Senior Honors Paper Eight seniors read for honors this year. Thoir papers are the results of a year's study on their selected topics. The papers are now on display in the library. Priscilla Sheppard has entitled her thesis "The Grand Alliance/' It is a study of the influence of the personal relationship between Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill on the diplomatic and military causes of World War II. The paper was written under the di- rection of Dr. Catherine Sims, as- sociate professor of history and political science. "The Gfreat Unknown" is the title of Margie Thomason's paper. It is a study of Sir Walter Scott's Scotch novels in the light of their basic literary merit. Her work was done under Dr. George P. Hayes, professor of English.

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.

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.

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.

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- HEARN'S Jewelry Co.

June 8. 1953 Sheppard Names '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.

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 (Continued on page 7) SCOTT'S DECATUR PHARMACY CR. 3838 - 3839 Southwest Court Square Decatur, Ga.

(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.

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 Decatur Co-op Cabs Owned and Operated By AAA CABS & Decatur Eveready Cabs CR. 1071 CR. 3866 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. Tourist Bug (Continued from page 4) 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.
