AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GEORGIA, Wednesday, September 25, 1957

Number 1

Onlookers Present
Conference Views

By RANDY NORTON and
LANG SYDNOR

Realizing the valuable and un-
usual opportunity which we as
President of Mortar Board and as
Editor of the "Agnes Scott News"
had in attending the pre-school
Retreat at Rutledge, Georgia, we
have felt the desire to share with
the entire school the feelings and
impressions which we received as
onlookers. For, being not formally
a part of any of the four organ-
izations and consequently not con-
fined to any of the meetings, we
experienced the unique opportu-
nity of visiting the different
groups, of objectively listening to
the discussions, and finally, of
comparing and evaluating the
trends of thought and conclusions
which each group had.

The Conference a term which
we prefer to use was held Mon-
day, September 9, through Wed-
nesday, September 11. Attending
the meetings were approximately
seventy girls including the board
members and officers of the four
major campus organizations
Executive Committee, Christian
Association, Athletic Association,
and Social Council. A full sched-
ule was planned by each organiza-
tion and the groups met contin-
uously to plan for the coming year.
Concrete results were the products
of these sincere and serious dis-
cussions.

Phases of Concentration

Executive Committee realized
the need for and made suggestions
for greater emphasis on the intel-
lectual aspect of the students' de-
velopment. Christian Association
dealt with the spiritual develop-
ment of the student as it discussed
the 1957-58 theme. Social Council,
a newly-organized campus group,
made plans concerning the campus
social life. And Athletic Associa-
tion discussed and organized the
sports and physical recreation for
the year.

Perhaps the one main thing
concerning the Conference which
impressed both of us was the fact
that although each individual or-
ganization had previously planned
each meeting and at the Confer-
ence met separately, the main
purpose and trend of each group
was toward the same goal. Each
organization had specific respon-
sibilities to plan concerning the
physical, spiritual, and social as-
pects, but they all appeared to be
moving in the same direction
supplementing each other in the
process of developing the whole
person. It was amazing and won-
derful to us to see the influence
of Agnes Scott's ideals upon each
individual organization and to
know that we were with seventy
girls who shared the same love
and respect for those ideals.

Secondly, we both were im-
pressed with the feeling of respon-
sibility which each girl evidenced.
The fact that the girls were bear-
ing the tremendous responsibility
of formulating the student pro-
gram for the year and the serious-
ness and sincerity which prevailed
at each meeting was evidence of
a sense of duty that each girl
seemed to feel.

The Conference as a whole,
viewed from our unique positions,
proved to be a most rewarding and
challenging experience for us. We
are grateful for the opportunity
to have been a part of it.

MARTHA MEYER, President of Athletic Association, Sara Mar-
garet Heard, Social Council President, Nancy Edwards, Student
Government President, and Sue Lile, President of Christian Associa-
tion unite in acceptance of CA's theme for the year.

CA Cabinet Members Select
Wholeness of Truth' Theme

"The Truth shall make you f ree . . . What is Truth?...
Jesus said: I am the Truth . . ." This is the expression of the
theme, The Wholeness of Truth, chosen by Christian Asso-
ciation for the organizations and student body of Agnes Scott
College for the 1957-58 session. At the Christian Association
chapel yeaterday students were

asked to pledge themselves to
this theme and the ideals of C. A.
by signing this year's member-
ship cards.

Sue Lile, Christian Association
President, said that during the
recent C. A. retreat Cabinet mem-
bers had decided on this theme
because it is pertinent to all phases
of our college life and was closely
related to the discussions of. the
three other boards at the retreat.
The four boards will share this
unifying emphasis The Whole-
ness of Truth which an individual
finds when he realizes that God
is the Author of Truth.

Sue went on to say that all of
us are engaged, consciously or un-
consciously, in a search for
truth. Christ is relevant then, for
he gives us this security by ac-
cepting us, supplies us with a

Denominational Tea
Attracts Freshmen

Agnes Scott's annual "Meet the
Ministers Tea" was held on Fri-
day afternoon, September 20.
Across campus to their respective
denominational teas trekked the
freshman class, accompanied by
the upperclassmen.

The teas were held at various
locations on campus. The Presby-
terian group met in the Rebekah
reception room while nearby in
Rebekah's recreation room the
Methodists congregated. Meeting
in the End Date Parlor of Main
were the Baptists, and occupying
Walters' Recreation Room were
the Episcopalians, Catholics, and
other denominations .

Present at the tea this year
were the rabbi of Beth-Jacob
Temple and the priest from the
Greek Orthodox Church in At-
lanta.

This year's tea took on added
significance, because upperclass-
men and faculty as well as fresh-
men were urged to come meet the
pastors of the various churches of
their denominations.

The "Meet the Ministers Tea"
is under the auspices of Christian
Association and was directed by
Inter-Faith Council Chairman,
Susie Bailey.

truth, and He is the end we ac-
tually seek.

Lecture Association
Announces Agenda

Miss Mildred Mell and Lecture
Association have announced the
schedule of lecturers for the 1957-
1958 season.

On Monday, October 21, Dr.
Jose Mora, secretary-general of
the Organization of American
States, will speak in Presser Hall.
His subject will be the work which
that organization does to cement
the ties of friendship between the
United States and the Latin Am-
erican nations. Dr. Mora was
scheduled to speak at Agnes Scott
last year, but the day before the
scheduled lecture, he had to can-
cel his plans in order to go to the
United Nations in New York be-
cause of the Suez crisis. Since
then he has been highly com-
mended for his work in bringing
that crisis to an end, according to
Miss Mell.

On the evening of January 14
the Brauschweig Marionettes will
perform. They are playing in this
country as a result of winning a
top award in the Edinburgh Fes-
tival in Scotland in the summer
of 1956. They will bring their own
stage which they will set up on
the stage in Gaines Chapel.

Robert Frost will make his an-
nual visit to the campus some time
in late January. A definite time
for his visit will be announced at
a later date.

Dr. Arnold Toynbee, the noted
English historian, will close this
series of lectures on Saturday,
February 1. Miss Mell says that,
because of Dr. Toynbee's full
schedule, Saturday was the only
night that he could come and
speak here.

Mr. C. Benton Kline, Jr., Dean
of the Faculty, led the worship
service in convocation Wednesday,

lighted by brief descriptions of two
music series coming to Atlanta for
the 1957-58 season. Mr. Marvin
McDonald described the program
for the All Star Series, and Mr.
William Herring presented the
schedule for the Symphony Series.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, September 25, 1957

From the Editor's Desk . . .

One of our most cherished privileges as citizens of the
United States is the perorogative, freedom of the press,
granted to us in our American Constitution. This right be-
comes especially significant for us as members of the Agnes
Scott community as we consider the place and purpose of
our own "Agnes Scott News" on campus a means right here
at hand by which we may utilize our freedom of the press.

Often we tend to feel that the editorial staff of a newspaper
is a faction intent on opposition and criticism a group of
people looking for ways only to make themselves heard. How-
ever, that is not the goal nor the intention of the "Agnes Scott
News."

The primary concern of the editors and staff of this paper
is to provide an honest and complete coverage of news events
of interest to Agnes Scott. We aim to benefit the students by
offering an objective and unbiased view of local occurrences.
To provide an interesting, informative paper each week is
the job and goal of our staff.

A second purpose of the News is to serve as a sounding
board not only for the editors and guest editorialists but for
the entire community. We welcome letters written in praise,
criticism, or question of events relevant to current topics.

The third goal of our newspaper, and particularly a goal
of this year's editorial staff, is to represent and support the
ideals of Agnes Scott College. We shall endeavor especially
through our editorials to emulate and praise the things that
support our Agnes Scott traditions and aims.

These are the things for which we strive each week. These
are the intentions and goals of the 1957-58 editorial staff of
the "Agnes Scott News." L.S.

Something Gained

The past two weeks have been a maze of out-stretched
hands, smiles, and welcoming addresses to the new students
who have chosen Agnes Scott as their Alma Mater. At the
risk of being redundant, we on the "News" staff wish to greet
our new readers, expecting our association during the next
few months to be an enriching one. We look forward to an
alert participation from the Class of '61 in campus activities
and hope to have freshman opinions voiced in our polls and
letters to the Editor.

The year stretches before us, bright and shining and filled
to the brim with meaningful experiences. The sparks of in-
terest which lend electricity to a classroom discussion, the
refreshing worship of chapel time, the exhilerating competi-
tion of cool fall afternoons spent on the hockey field will
soon become woven into the colorful pattern of our lives at
Agnes Scott. Our wish for all new students, and for those
returning to another year of studies, is that each of you will
find the treasures which are awaiting you in books, concerts,
lectures, athletic activities, chapels, and in personal contacts
with both faculty members and classmates.

Welcome to Agnes Scott and to all the privileges and re-
sponsibilities which are enjoyed by the members of this
community. The editors of the "News" are giving full support
to a quest for The Wholeness of Truth, the theme chosen
by CA and adopted by AA and Student Government for the
coming year. We challenge you to invest your prayers and
concrete effort in this search, for rich rewards are promised.

"The truth shall make you free . . . What is truth? . . .

Jesus said: I am the truth." B.D.

First College Days Prove Busy,
Exciting, Rewarding for Frosh

By Grace Robertson

That first big day when you arrived at Agnes Scott, when
you had butterflies waltzing around in your stomach, and
were very excited about being a college woman at last, and,
well, maybe just a wee bit panicky about what you were
going to have to do, and whether you could ever remember
all those rules, much less live by

and lines and lines of girls sitting
on the floor waiting to get to those
all-important committees, and an-
other line to buy that expensive
pile of books, oh, and a bottle of
ink and a notebook with Agnes
Scott on the front, please.

Even after registration it was
a constant succession of parties,
welcoming speeches, meetings, and
trying to get unpacked. And more

them?

You arrived in front of Main on
that first day of registration. And
this was IT. All the upperclassmen
were poised, at home, and beauti-
ful. At least they were poised, or
was it lounged, on the front steps
of Main, looking not only "at
home" but ready to start cleaning
out the attic. Then from out of
nowhere your junior sponsor and
sophomore helper appeared and
took over for you. They were as
friendly as the letters they had
written, and, jeepers, they seemed
to know everybody. And exactly
where to go and whom to see
when you got there.

After that first impression, it
was just one dizzy whirl of name
tags, faces without names, place-
ment tests (how do you forget so
much in just one summer?), your
room (the closets were too small,
and how would you ever find cur-
tains to cover those windows?),
more faces, lunch sandwiched in
somewhere along the way, your
roommate (yipes, could you both
get all your things in?), and lines

lines. And the street dance with
the Tech boys, and church on Sun-
day morning, and more parties,
and always more new faces, but
by now some of them had names
attached. And you realized that
your roommate was lots of fun,
your sponsor and helper were tops,
and everybody seemed glad to
have you here.

Each fall it happens all over
again; the excitement never quite
wears off. And each year the new
freshman class arrives, strives,
and survives until they become as
oriented and contented, and as
much at home and a part of col-
lege life as the "old girls," who
were freshmen once themselves.

Nations Resolution Condems
Red Hungarian Policy Anew

By Carolyn Magruder

No one concerned with the survival of freedom in today's
clash-ridden world can forget the Hungarian uprising of
last fall. For it was on October 23, 1956, that the people
of Hungary staged a rebellion against their Communist mas-
ters which the Soviets crushed in only two weeks, utilizing
the most brutal tactics of supres- V vas drafted by the United States

sion imagineable.

The free world watched with
mounting horror as Red Hungary
literally turned crimson with the
blood of patriotic Hungarians.
But neither the United Nations
nor any of its members dared to
undertake any positive action
that might spark off a third
world war. A general inertia thus
prevailed among Western coun-
tries and protests were limited to
the verb; 1 or written type. Many
citizens felt, however, a justifiable
indignation toward this seeming
unwillingness of the free world
to exchange self-security for a
chance to really strike a blow a :
one of Communism's most vulner-
able spots. It is these indignant
millions that the U.N. made a
recent effort to "conciliate."

A few weeks ago, a resolution

with six other nations as co-
sponors. It called for new condem-
nation of Soviet interference in
Hungary's affairs and provided
for appointment of a special U.N.
representative to seek compliance
with previous resolutions calling
for withdrawal of Soviet troops
and free elections for Hungary.
Even so. speeches were made
against the resolution by India,
leader of the Afro-Asian neutral-
ists, who are afraid to antagonize
the Soviet government ir so
"blunt" a manner.

In spite of such opposition, the
resolution was approved 60 to
10. The nine Russian satellites
plus Yugoslavia voted negatively,
while Afghanistan. Ceylon, Egypt.
India, Indonesia, Nepal, Saudi
Arabia, Syria and Yeman refused
to commit themselves one way or

TRAVEL- WEARY MEMBERS of the Western Society display sou-
venirs of the pilgrimage. On the sofa are Caro McDonald and Hazel
Ellis with Nancy Edwards and Frances Gwinn seated in front.

Western Society Recounts Adventures
'Midst Fog, Sleeping Bags, Mosquitoes

On June 3, after six months of planning and three days of packing, the Western So-
ciety (Caro McDonald, Frances Gwinn, Nancy Edwards, and Hazel Ellis) left school, com-
plete w^th sleeping bags, mosquito nets, ponchos, air mattresses on top of the car in the
baggage rack; heavy shoes, iron, raincoats, stationery under the seat; maps and travel
information, generously donated, up over the back seat; can opener, flashlight, first aid kit,
credit card, mosquito repellent
(we heard that the mosquitoes
are pretty big out West!), com-
pass, and campus directory in the
glove compartment; four suitcases,
Coleman stove, electric lantern,
collapsible bucket, cooking uten-
sils, hatchet, dirty clothes bag,
seventy boxes of cereal, and a
duffle bag complete with army
jackets, sweat shirts, blue jeans,
and caps which we thought we
would never need, in the trunk;
dispersed among the expeditioners
in the car were a cooler, food box,
cosmetic case, pillows, and pock-
etbooks, Gwinn's being larger
than the other three combined. At
long last we had gathered by hook
or crook this small number of
necessary items and were prepared
for whatever the West had to
offer.

Baggage Difficulties

For most travelers the first day
of a trip would be dull and rather
long, but not for this congenial
group who traveled only 100 miles
in five hours. The trip was high-
lighted by numerous stops to make
secure the baggage rack. It seems
that some of the group got tired
of leaning out the window to hold
it on. After spending the night in
Auburn we literally swam out to
the car to begin in earnest our
trek out West, traveling 544 miles
to Shreveport, the gateway to the
West, in a monsoon.

Leaving Shreveport, we spent
four days trying to get out of
Texas, stopping only long enough
to make a phone call to Sid How-
ell. We ended up by spending a
most enjoyable evening with her
and her family, seeing a real hon-
est-to-goodness rodeo and enjoy-
ing steak fingers. The first tragic
incident of the trip was discovered
here we learned upon opening
the trunk that Caro had left the
plastic bag containing the only
dresses we had brought in a motel
which two members of the group
had nearly burned down the day
before.

Points of interest as we contin-
ued included the Painted Desert,
the Petrified Forest, Meteor Cra-
ter, and Grand Canyon, which,
incidentally, although we waited
three days for the fog to lift, we
haven't seen yet.

Wet Campers

The long-awaited opportunity to
camp out finally presented itself
at the Grand Canyon. After ob-
serving the thousands of neatly
set-up tents and their occupants,
we sheepishly began tying two
ponchos and three mosquito nets
together. Three of the group feast-
ed upon a delicious supper (mixed
vegetables and ham and a small
ration of bread for each), but a
sudden gust of wind relieved Hazel
of her tin plate and its meager
contents. Then the wind stopped
and the rain started; then both
began. We didn't have to worry
about getting the sleeping bags
wet, because they had been wet
since the first day of the trip. Af-
ter a few moments of singing and
laughing around a bright Coleman
stove, the group retired Caro
and Frances in the car and Nancy
and Hazel in the wet sleeping bags
under a microscopic tent. Only
those who were there can fully
appreciate the experience. It
seems sufficient to say that it rain-
ed all night, the temperature was
38 degrees, and nobody can re-

member whether she slept or not.
As Caro said, "Da first night of
cambing out was da worst night
weaderwise in dat area in a long
timb according to da natives dare
very unusual weader. Da next
morning we finally got everything
in da car, on da car, or around da
car." Everything was wet, dirty,
and full of gradoo. Four cold and
hungry bodies left the beautiful
wooded campground and the 5,000
other campers. Had it rained any
more, or been any colder, the Grand
Canyon Branch of the Western So-
ciety might have perished, for we
left in the dawn with three sick
members, one nurse, and a car full
of wet clothes.

Trek Through Desert

After recovering from all ill-
nesses, we went from Zion Nation-
al Park to Las Vegas, where we
did the laundry and acquired a
few postcards while everyone else
was out on the town. We think it
was better that way because two
of the group were too young and
irresponsible to be seen in such
places. After leaving Las Vegas
we suddenly discovered ourselves
to be the Mojave Desert Branch
of the Western Society. Aside from
not having water bags, and run-
ning into the midst of a sand-
storm, which incidentally, resulted
in having to have the top and
front of the car repainted and a
new windshield installed, this part
of the westward trek was unevent-
ful. As cool drinks were scarce,
the two younger members of the
group charged the older ones the
exorbitant price of 25 cents each.
Peufraps this is a good illustration
of the congeniality of the group.

We did make it through the
desert despite all complications,
and then journeyed onward to
Yosemite National Park, where
we missed the most outstanding
feature of the park, the firefalls.
We arrived in San Francisco,
crossed the Golden Gate Bridge
many times, visited Fisherman's
Wharf, Chinatown, etc. We drove
up the famous El Camino Real,
only to discover that we could see

neither the giant redwood trees
nor the Pacific because of the fog
which had followed us from the
Grand Canyon. By this time our
motto had become, "It only hap-
pens to the good because the bad
couldn't take it."

After passing over all the road
improvement projects in Wash-
ington and Oregon and boarding a
$16.00 ferry, we found ourselves
in Canada. All agreed that both
Victoria and Vancouver were
beautiful cities. We had so well
planned our tour of Vancouver
and had gotten such an early start
that we arrived at Stanley Park,
where we were to eat lunch, at
8:45 a.m. As we crossed the bor-
der back into the United States,
the only thing we had to declare
at customs was one roll of half-
used film.

Our next destination was Yel-
lowstone, where we camped out
for two nights. We. welcomed the
sight here of two Scott girls, Mary
Ruth Watson and Randy Norton,

Fraternity Rush Parties Lure
Angels, Devils, Hula Dancers

By Corky Feagin

As of September 18 both classes and the hunting season in Atlanta
officially opened. The final weekend of rush at Emory and the first
at Tech combined to produce empty dorms and a 12:45 jam in Rebec-
kah rec room Friday and Saturday nights.

The Kappa Sigs at Tech started the year of* with a Heaven and
Hell party. Participating angels and others were Marcia Tobey,
Christa Hages, Ann Holloman, Barbara Byrnes, Jane King, and Caro-
lyn Hoskins. Around the corner the KA's assured Tricia Walker, Lu
Davidson, Anita Sheldon, Mary Jo Hudgens, and Louise Williams of
a good night's sleep with a ghost party.

Linda Ingram, Bonnie Best, Joan Byrd, Kay Gwaltney, Bunny
Henry, and Mary Rivers Stubbins went with the Tech Delts on a
hayride. Also heading for the wide open spaces were Gloria Branham,
Marty Lair, Boogie Helm, Martha Davis, and Jo Sawyer, who took
off for Allatoona with the Beta's.

Meanwhile L'il Abner and Ann Rivers Payne, Betsy Boyd, Emily
Pancake, Mickie North, Jane Cooper, and Sheila MacConochie en-
joyed the fun at Sigma Nu. Dottie Burns, Cathy Kemp, June Woods,
Willy Byrd Childress, Betty Bellune, Molly Schwab, Virginia Thomas,
Dee Dee Doan, and the rest of the hicks were whooping it up over
at the Sigma Chi house.

At Emory, the Beta's relived the roaring twenties with the able
and talented assistance of Page Smith, Nancy Moore, Nancy Barr,
Kay Fuller, and Dee Harvley. The Phi Delts entertained toga-clad
Ann Frazer, Jo Robertson, Esther Thomas, Joyce Seya, and Harriet
Elder in the classic manner.

Saturday night Mary Elizabeth Webster, Martha McKinncy, Lucy
Scales, Jane Law, Lisa Ambrose, Charme Robinson, and Lee Davidson
helped the Emory ATO's close out elegantly with a house dance.
Similarly entertained were Weezie Key, Wendy Boatwright, Linda
Dancy, and Gladys Ferguson at the Emory Chi Phi house and Nancy
Graves, Sally Sanford, Betty Barber, Prudy Moore, Ginger Marks,
Betsy Hammond, and Penny Williams at the SAE's.

Waikiki beaches were crowded that evening by Tech Phi Delts
and TKE's. On the Phi Delt end of the beach Gayle Green, Caroline
Ryman, Betty Sue Wyatt, Rosa Barnes, Harriet Jackson, Panni
Doar, and Pat Erwin could be seen dancing the hula; while Nell
Archer, Persia Lewis, Marion Green, and Betty Mattern rode surf-
boards with the TKE's.

Not quite so far away, Alice Frazier, Pete Brown, Mike Booth,
Betsy Dalton, Jo Hathaway, Lucy Maud Davis, Peggy Bradford,
and Patsy Moss Bermudaed at Fritz Orr's.

As the great Tech machine began the season against Kentucky
Saturday, Lou Healy, Kay Lamb, Carlanna Lindamood, Libby Hansen,
Shannon Cumming, and Rosemary Roberts cheered them to victory.

Purple and white ribbons are hereby awarded to Janice Jones,
first girl to be engaged this year. Edith Tritton followed close behind
her. New diamonds over the summer have been noticed on Jan
Mathis, Carol Pike, Barbara Thompson, Llewellyn Bellamy, Drew
Blankner, and Barbara Byrnes, Andy Lowry.

Kay Richards gets the honor of the first pin (ATO) of 57-58. Since
exams last year, Liz Shumaker has acquired an ATO pin; Hollis
Smith, TKE; Mary Crook, SAE; Jane Kraemer, Beta Theta Pi; and
Ann Tilly, Sigma Chi.

The numerous weddings of Scott girls over the summer have
caused a rice shortage in Upper Canton. Love and congratulations
to Bopine Bogle Newton, Frances Calder Arnold, Helen Smith Rogers,
Nancy Franklin Allison, Caroline Romberg Silcox, Emasue Alford
Vereen, Susanne Meriweather Mammons, Mary Ann Gillis Persons,
Crenelle Breed love Jennings, June Fulmer Fortson, India Clark Ben-

Traditional Bonfire, Pep Rally
To Open 57 Hockey Season

By Patricia Stewart

Hockey season of 1957 opened Monday, September 23 with
a general meeting of all persons interested in playing hockey.
Boo Florence, Athletic Association Hockey Manager, was in
charge. She announced the class managers. They are Ruth
Leroy, Sophomore; Martha McCoy, Junior; and Joan St.
Clair, Senior. The Freshman man- '

ager will be chosen later.

October 16 there will be a bon-
fire and pep rally on the hockey
field. On Friday, October 18, the
first hockey games will be played.

All students interested in hockey
are urged to come out for practice.
Previous experience is not neces-
sary.

Martha Meyer, President of A.
A., urges all students to take ad-
vantage of the barbeque pit this
fall. The pit, located between the
tennis courts and the Observa-
tory, is maintained for the stu-
dents' use. Judy Nash is in charge
of reserving the barbeque pit for
cook-outs.

According to the survey con-
ducted by the Physical Education
Department last spring, bicycling
is Agnes Scott's most popular
sport. The bicycles are maintained

THE MIDNIGHT STORY"

Tony Curtis

Western Trip . . .

(Continued from Page 3)
who gave us a guided tour of the
park.

At Estes Park, Colorado, we
were delighted to have dinner with
Miss Laney, Miss Scandrett, and
Sally Smith. Once again we rolled
out the sleeping bags for our last
night of camping. From here we
went to St. Louis, where we had
a wonderful time seeing the Giants
and Cardinals play and also see-
ing a production of "Damn Yan-
kees."

We have had many inquiries
about how we managed to make
this trip so economically. Perhaps
a few illustrations will give the
answers to these questions. A ty-
pical day's menu consisted of:
breakfast, coffee and cereal; mid-
morning snack, peanut butter and
vanilla wafers; lunch, peanut but-
ter and mayonnaise (sometimes
on bread and more often without);
mid-afternoon snack, peanut but-
ter and vanilla wafers; supper,
peanut butter and bread, and
sometimes milk, if you were lucky.
Actually this was a very healthy
diet, for "Nutritionists agree that
one peanut butter sandwich has
as much basic nourishment pro-
teins, fats, carbohydrates, food en-
ergy as a meal of juicy beef,
potato, and carrots." Sleeping was
also very economical, as we slept
either in mildewed sleeping bags
or stayed in a motel with facilities
in the shower and a bed in the
kitchen with a wood stove.

If anyone thinks that she might
make such a trip cramped in a car
for 9,000 miles, eating only peanut
butter, and sleeping on the ground,
please contact the Western Society
in the Hub for additional informa-
tion. A nominal fee of $5.00 will
be charged (we're planning to tour
South Africa next). Westward ho
the wagons!!

Many New Faces Offer Gaiety,
Perplexity for Upperclassmen

Agnes Scott is bursting at the seams this year! Seeing 543
boarders and 58 day students running around campus causes
much confusion and perplexity especially when a sea of new
faces must be viewed.

These new faces, hail from 22 different states and one
foreign country, which is Israel

What is more amazing is that
these girls came from 142 differ-
ent high schools and 12 colleges
and universities. The transfers
are: Celeste Clanton from Sophie
Newcomb, Anne Clyburn from
F.S.U., Anita Cohen from Brook-
lyn College, Karen Toss from
University of Idaho, Suzanne
Ellson from Randolph Macon,
Linda McCall from Queens Col-
lege, Ann Cobb from Stratford
College, Louise Key from St.
Mary's, Martha Massie from Hol-
lins, and Sissy Cannon from Fur-
man.

The freshman class is 197
strong the class with the "most-
est!" Within the freshman class
are a number of girls who are
able to keep tabs on an older
sister or sisters. The McCurdy
Trio, the Bubbling Maddox Sisters,
the Charming Chao's, the Bright
Byrd Sisters, the Delightful
Thomas' and the Roving Roberts
are five sister teams. And if you

Committees Work On Plans
As 'Cat' Celebration Nears

Preparations are now in full swing for the campus annual
Black Cat Day to be celebrated on October 12 with a fun-
packed program consisting of sweepstakes, a picnic, skits,
3 song contest, and an informal dance.

Skit and song chairmen for the sophomore, junior, and
senior classes were elected on

September 24. Freshman nomina-
tions and elections were held Sep-
tember 30 and October 2 in order
that the students might have time
to become well acquainted with
each other before voting. The script
committee and the skit chairmen
for the upper classes and for the
over-all program have been work-
ing since September 25, while the
Black Cat chorus held its first
practice on the 26th. each class
will organize its own initial skit
practices, but there will be over-
all rehearsals Monday through
Thursday of the final week, the
last meeting being the dress re-
hearsal.

Every student who is willing to
work on Black Cat can find plenty
of opportunity to do so, as there
are a great variety of committees
involved. The Skit Committee is
made up of Lila McGeachy, di-
rector; Randy Norton, chairman;
Betsy JLunz, secretary; Diana Car-
penter, senior representative;
Katherine Jo Freeman, junior rep-
resentative; and Eve Purdom and
Jill Imray, sophomore representa-
tives. Dee Harvley and Mary Riv-
ers Stubbins are in charge of the
backdrop. Students working with
programs will be supervised by
Mary Dunn; props, by Nancy
Graves and Ashlin Morris; light-
ing, by Shirley McDonald; and
make-up, by Marion Barry and
Sally Smith. Marth McCoy is in
charge of publicity; and Sissy Dan-
iel and Nancy Brown will head
the clean-up committee. Marion
Walton and Val Edwards head the
sweepstakes committee, and Pegge
Conine and Mary Mac Witherspoon
are supervising the making of cos-
tumes. Lower House, led by Wardie
Abernethy, will organize the pic-
nic. Boogie Helm is in charge of
music.

Black Cat Day originated in
1915 when Dr. Sweet, college phy-
sician from 1908-37, suggested that
the program be substituted for the
rough hazing of freshmen. Until
1950 Black Cat Day was highlight-
ed by a skit contest between the
freshmen and the sophomores, but
in that year it was decided to in-
clude the entire campus in the
day's events and to eliminate the

bitter rivalry between the two low-
er classes. In the afternoon there
was an archery tournament, a
swimming competition, and a hock-
ey game, and faculty relay races.
A picnic dinner was followed by a
song contest and a program of
skits representing events of the
past year. The sophomores gave
the freshmen the black cat, a sign
of welcome; and the entire pro-
gram was and still is centered
around the incoming class.

Alstons Will Honor
Freshmen at Coffee

Dr. and Mrs. Wallace Alston
have invited the freshman class to
their home for four informal get-
acquainted coffees. One-half of the
class, chosen alphabe f i?.ally, has
been invited to the coffees on
ThuiLdsy and Friday, October 3
and 4, from 1-2 p.m. The remainder
of the class will attend the coffees
on Wednesday and Thursday, Oc-
tober 23 and 24, at the same time.

All freshmen who pian to attend
tre coffees are asked to check
their rames on the hst in Mrs.
Turner's office. The Alstons' home
address is 213 Sout^. Candler
Street.

Martin To Present
Concert October 7

The entire campus community is
invited to Professor Raymond Mar-
tin's organ recital Monday, Octo-
ber 7, at 8 p.m. in Gaines Chapel.
The program includes pieces by
six composers, two of whom are
contemporary.

Mr. Martin will play 'Toccata in
F" by Buxtehude; "Fantasia and
Tugue in G Minor" and "I Call to
Thee, Lord Jesus Christ," by J. S.
Bach; "Grand Piece Symphon-
ique" by Franck; "Apparition of
the Eternal Church" by Messia-
en; "A Mighty Fortress Is Our
God" and "If Thou But Suffer
God to Guide Thee" by Walcha;
and "Carillon-Sortie" by Mulet.
Messiaen is a contemporary French
organist-composer, and Walcha is
a contemporary German organist-
composer.

Lila McGeachy, director of the Back Cat Skit Committee discusses
plans for Black Cat with a jrroup of freshman. Preparations are well
underway for the traditional celebration to be October 12.

School To Observe
World Communion

The world-wide cemmunion day,
which is October 6, will be remem-
bered particularly at Agnes Scott
by a communion service which will
be held at Maclean Auditorium at
5 p.m. Christian Association em-
phasizes the consciousness of
world-relatedness on the campus
by sponsoring this w r orld-wide com-
munion service.

The service will be officiated by
Dr. Alston and Dr. Chang, who
will also present a communion
meditation. Administering the
elements of the communion will be
student ushers Choi Choon Hi,
Helen Salfiti, Mary Byrd, Joan
Byrd, Dieneke Nieuwenhuis, Faith
Chao, Grace Chao, and Mildred
Ling.

The over-all chairman of the
program is Joanna Flowers, with
Marilyn Tribble acting as chair-
man for the administering of the
elements. The organist will be
Charlotte Henderson. The entire
campus community is cordially in-
vited and urged to attend the
communion service.

AS Alumnae Board
Meets Here Today

The Agnes Scott National Al

Board will hold its first quarterly
meeting today. The board was in-
vited to attend convocation at
which time Agnes Scott's new
dean, Mr. Kline, spoke.

After the convocation the board
held a meeting in the alumnae
house. On the agenda for the meet
ing was a discussion to determine
how Alumnae Week End and class
reunions can be held the same
week end as the Fine Arts Fes-
tival.

Agnes Scott Alumnae, wherever
they might be, and the Agnes Scott
Alumnae Association.

President Alston acted as host
for the board at lunch in the
President's dining hall, where he
reported some of the college's re-
cent accomplishments.

The meeting officially adjourned

Honors Day Convocation
Recognizes Achievement

Mr. C. Benton Kline delivered his initial address as Dean
of the Faculty this morning at the annual Honors Day Con-
vocation. He approached his subject, "Aims of a Liberal
Education," from two standpoints: that of the individual stu-
dent and that of Agnes Scott as a college dedicated to certain
academic ideals. To quote from his
speech, a "liberal education must
mirror three characteristics of
man: . . . breadth to match the
wide range of the human mind . . .
depth to match the capacity of the
human mind to penetrate into re-
ality . . . foster judgment to match
the critical judgment of the hu-
man mind."

Folowing Mr. Kline's talk the
names of those students having
made the Honor Roll for the 1956-
57 season were announced. Ten
juniors, twelve sophomores, and

Leaves Df Autumn

Those first autumn days. The signs are plenteous as sum-
mer gradually turns to fall. Sweaters thrown over shoulders
for the brisk, chiUy evenings. Girls is blue and white gym
outfits racing up and down on the hockey field. Smoke curl-
ing from the chimney of the barbecue pit as girls in Agnes
Scott sweat shirts enjoy the food and fellowship of a weiner
roast. Daily sessions and meetings to plan and rehearse for
Black Cat. These are all familiar scenes and signs of fall at
Agnes Scott.

Perhaps the most distinctive sign of autumn, however, are
the leaves of the trees as they brighten the days with their
vividness. As they turn to warm golden shades, they seem
to have a cheerful and inspiring effect upon human beings.
The autumn hues give the campus a certain glow and offer
the human soul inspiration.

But, besides leaves which inspire the soul, we are also con-
scious of "leaves" which elighten the mind the leaves of
books which offer challenging and inspiring experiences fully
as satisfying as the leaves of nature.

Scholarship and intellectual growth are aspects of college
life which should be one of our primary concerns as students.
When we become bogged down with extra-curricular and
social activities, we often lose sight of our main aim as col-
lege people. Our desire for and labor toward intellectual
development becomes only secondary to the maze of other
activities. That is not as it should be.

Today we heard the names of the 1956-57 Honor Roll. Those
members have tangible evidence of intellectual achievement.
The "Agnes Scott News" congratulates them from their
scholastic record during the past year. L.S.

Sound Mind,
Unsound Practices?

While the old Roman ideal of a sound mind in a sound body
has never been specifically included in the Agnes Scott char-
ter, motto, handbook, or catalogue, it has been generally main-
tained for many years that the college has stood for the proper
intellectual, social, and physical development of the indivi-
dual. Current trends among the present student body however
give rise to serious doubts concerning student understanding
and acceptance of this oft-propounded theme; among those
currently crowding the infirmary can be found those who
could almost be accused of criminal negligence concerning
their health.

"I'm only eating two meals day, and I've lost six pounds
already!" This triumphant dieter neglects to mention that
she has also lost her pep, good humor and disease resistance.
"I've been up until two every night this week" exclaims
another as if academic and social ratings were determined
by hours of sleep missed. On the heels of these practices
comes the dizzy cycle of less stamina, lowered disease resis-
tance, decreased productivity, and poorer marks.

As the work of the quarter moves into high gear, a revalua-
tion is in order to make sure that the long road ahead does
not become an expressway to the doors of the Walters In-
firmary. M.M.

Victories of Three Leaders Set
Stage for Future World Contest

By Carolyn Magruder

A national crisis such as the Little Rock debacle has the
unfortunate tendency of focusing the American people's eyes
upon one select situation, to the tragic neglect of other events
in the entire panorama of international affairs. Yet in West
Germany, Thailand, North Africa, to cite a few examples,
occurences have recently taken

place which deserve careful con-
sideration in view of their prob-
able long-range significance upon
the global scene.

The final count of last week's
Western German election showed
the Adenauer and the Socialists
together tallied an impressive 81
per cent of the popular vote. This
third-term victory for the Chris-
tian Democratic leader heightens
the prospect of West Germany's
being well on the way to a reason-
ably well balanced two-party gov-
ernment "free from the fragmen-
tations that did so much to de-
stroy the pre-Hitler Weimar Re-
public of the 20's." Adenauer him-
self was jubilant over his triumph
as he bubbled to the press: . . .
"Now we can finally end the divi-
sions of class."

A continent's span away in
Southeast Asia, the state of Thai-
land underwent a government
shake-up that sent ex-dictator Pi-
bul into exile and comfortably
esconced an army man, Marshal
Sarit, as the new political leader.
The Marshal's coup was a blood-
less event which was accomplish-

ed by swift, sure strokes. Asian
observers have reason to believe
that, though the ouster of Pibul
means the loss of one of the Ori-
ent's most colorful political fig-
ures, the change in Thailand might
prove one for the better both
for Thailand and its SEATO allies

Lastly, in Ghana, the African
Negro republic which became a
free nation scarcely six months
ago, sign of a waning democracy
seem to be tragically evident.
Prime Minister Nkrumas, faced
with opposition to his rule from
back-country tribesmen, tried to
deport two of the leaders (even
though they were Ghana citizens)
by utilizing a special law which he
railroaded through Parliament es-
pecially for the occasion. Disturbed
Britishers fear that Nkrumah is
falling more and more under the
influence of his recently-appointed
Attorney General, a man tinged
with Communist and far-left lean-
ings. Ghana was christened under
the joint ideals of freedom and
justice. The free world hopes that
the future will not see these ideals
lessened or distorted in any way.

While in New York each guest
editor takes part in a full calendar
of activities. She interviews a cel-
ebrity in her chosen field, visits
newspaper offices, fashion work-
rooms, stores and advertising ag-
encies, besides working daily with
the "Mademoiselle" editor to
whom she is assigned. The twenty
guest editors get help in finding
positions in their special fields,
and each year several join "Made-
moiselle's" own staff.

November 30 is the deadline for
applying for College Board mem-

on the College Board do two as-
signments during the college year.
Assignments give College Board
members a chance to write fea-
tures about life on their campus;
to submit art work and fashion as
well as feature, fiction, or promo-
tion ideas for possible use in
"Mademoiselle" to develop their
critical and creative talents; to
discover their own abilities and
job interests; to win cash prizes,
and possibly publication for out-
standing work submitted during
the contest.

The top twenty guest editors
will be brought to New York next
June to help write, edit, and illus-

who took turns at KP every three
days. Haz's southern fried chicken
and hot biscuits were a real hit!
The entire morning was then de-
voted to painting the Neighborhood
House, with the exception of a
break at 9:30 a.m. Immediately
following lunch, there was a medi-
tation period, at which time each
student took his or her turn to
lead a discussion, or just to share
thoughts. The rest of the afternoon
was free. Of course there was
siesta time. Hazard comments:
"Whew! What a relief!" One night
a week, usually on Wednesday,
the group from Mayaguez met
with another work-camp group
from a nearby town, for Bible stu-
dy. Sundays after church, the Am-
ericans were able to play tourist,
and did some sightseeing in San
Juan, at Phosphorescent Bay,
which shines very beautifully at
night, and in other parts of the
island.

Hazard says that she absorbed
enough of the language to converse
with little children (who know
even less than she!). Custom-wise,
she found it interesting that no
Puerto Rican woman ever appear-
ed on the street in pedal-pushers,
dungarees, etc., and that every
girl or woman was always chaper-
oned. The members of the work
camp enjoyed the Puerto Rican
food ("beans, beans, beans") sev-
eral times a week. Haz had no

Hazard Plays Role of House Painter,
Chef at Puerto Rican Summer Project

By Caroline Dudley

Summer, '57, will be preserved forever in "the deathless annals" of many Scotties' mem-
ories (The Western Society, et al.); for Carolyn Hazard, reminiscing in years to come over
the good ole days at the Alma Mater, her Puerto Rican trip will be one of the highlights of
her college career. "Haz," as she is affectionately known to fellow students, was one of
eight college young people who, under the auspices of the Board of National Missions,
Presbyterian Church, U.S.A., at-
tended a work camp during July
in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. Their
object: to paint the outside of the
Marina*Neighborhood House, which
serves as a school for the children
of the slum district in that city.
Sponsored by the Presbyterian
Church, UJ5.A., and working in
conjunction with an independently
supported Presbyterian church in
Mayaguez, the Neighborhood
House also includes a nursery
school, clinic, and dispensary. This
particular project, and many oth-
ers in Mexico, Brazil, and in some
European countries, are an out-
growth of the Mission Board, pro-
viding support and aid to those
people in other countries who have
a need, and providing invaluable
experience for students who parti-
cipate in these work camps.

On June 25, Haz and another
college girl headed for a similar
project in another part of Puerto
Rico, boarded a southward-bound
plane in New York City. Hours
later, after landing in San Juan,
the two were dismayed to find
that their "host" had not met
them. Hazard's two years of col-
lege French did not help matters;
unfortunately, the friend did not
speak Spanish either. However, a
call to proper authorities quickly
put matters straight, and the two
"foreigners" spent an uneventful
night rft the Presbyterian Hospital
in San Juan, as 'they had planned.
Party School?
Despite that traumatic experi-
ence, our Scottie was undaunted
and the next morning left for the
work camp at Mayaguez, a 75-mile
trip by car across the island. On
arrival, she met the other eight
members of the crew: students
from California, New York, Penn-
sylvania, Delaware, and a girl from
Tennessee, who later confessed
that her first thought on meeting
Carolyn, and finding that she was
from Agnes Scott, was: "Well,
this kid's just along for the ride
Agnes Scott's a real party school."
(Incidentally, she had changed her
mind by the end of camp.) Robert
Geller, Chaplain of Students at the
University of Arizona, was the
group's leader.

The mornings began at 5 for the
four girls and four boys. Meals
were prepared by the students,

Dauntless Aggies Brave Rain
For Football, Fraternity Men

By Corky Feagin

With all quiet on the Emory front, most of the social life this past
weekend was centered at Georgia Tech.

Gun molls at the ATO party at Snapfinger Friday night were
Harriet Moseley, Pete Brown, Prudy Moore, Jeanne Brennan, Renin
Dillard, Mary Wayne Crymes, Judy Albergotti, and Emily Bivens;
while Barbara McDonald, Ann Avant, Madge Clark, Edna McLain,
Dee Conwell, Willie Byrd Childress, and Ann Pollard entertained in-
mates of the Delta Tau Delta cell block at an abandoned prison near
East Point.

Mademoiselles Rachel Fowler, Rinda Gay Fowlkes, Bonnie Best,
Janice Henry, and Nancy Batson s'amusaient at the Kappa Sig French
rock 'n roll party. Shooting it up with the KA cowboys were Ann Ash-
ford, Rosemary Kittrell, Ellen McFarland, Alice Boyken, Ann Cobb,
Rose Marie Regero, and Kathy Kemp.

Sally Smith, Liz Acree, Betty Lewis, Mary Park Cross, Alice Coffin,
Betty Sue Wyatt, Lorna Jo Jarrell, Harriett Smith, Marsha Lear,
and Jean Salter rushed for the SAE's out at Fritz Orr's.

Shivering at a cold, rainy South Sea Island beach party given by
the Sigma Chi's Saturday night, Ann Peagler, Gayle R*we, Anne Rus-
sell, Jean Corbett, Rachel Fowler, Beverly Carter, and Becky Davis
agreed that the weatherman had packed up and gone south himself.

The Phi Delts and Beta's both threw Bermuda parties, the Phi
Delts at home with Caroline Ryman, Nancy Hughes, Jane Kelly,
Barbara Kohn, and, Carol Conner; the Beta's at Snapfinger with Mar-
tha Davis, Sara Helen High, Mary Beth Elkin, Betsy Bivens, Becky
Wilson, and Gloria Branham.

House dances were held at Sigma Nu and Chi Psi. Barbara Specht,
Beverly Delk, Sibley Robertson, Diane McMillan, Ginger Marks,
Betty Bellune, Sandra Boger, Donna Brock, and Betsy Boyd claim
that the music was the sweetest at Sigma Nu, while Sissy Cannon,
Jane Prevost, Lynn Shankland, Sybil Strupe go for the Chi Psi brand
of swing.

Meanwhile, holding the torch at Emory, Anne McWhorter, Linda
Clark, Carolyn Mason, Peggy Wells, Lil Hart, Janie Matthews, and
Patti Forest went over to ZIP dental fraternity. Jo Flowers, Jane
Law, Myra Glasure, and Becky Evans were at the Delta Sigma Deltas.

Never knowing when to call it quits, some girls completely finished
up rush at Tech Sunday afternoon. Watching the pledging at KA were
Wynn Hughes, Archer Boswell, Ann Peagler; Sigma Chi, Judy Alber-
gotti, Janice Bowman, Lea Kallman, Panni Doar, and Nancy Awbrey;
Beta, Pat Ervin, Jane Kraemer; Phi Delt, Caroline Ryman, Irene
Shaw; Delta Tau Delta, Emily Bivens, Leoniece Davis, Hollis Smith;
Kappa Sig, Libby Hanson, Carlanna Lindamood, Barbara Byrnes, and
Corky Feagin.

This week's award of a cough drop and a kleenex tissue goes to
those brainless chicks who sat through the icy rain Saturday to
watch the SMU game: to name a few, Margaret Goodrich, Edith
Towers, Suzanne Hoskins, Lisa Ambrose, Carolyn West, Runita Mc-
Curdy, Eleanor Hill, Barbara Thompson, Margaret Woolfolk, Kath-
leen Brown, Jean Clark, Bruce Copeland, Mima Bruce, Jane Cooper
and Becky Davis.

Not content with the local social facilities, Boogie Helm trotted off
to Georgia for a dance, and Sara Lu Persinger dwpped over to
Durham to see the Virginia-Duke game.

Violets to Dee Harvley, who now wears the pin of a Tech SAE, and

'Name Dames Flourish Here
In Annual Hey Day Game

"Hi Mary!" "Hello Sue!" "Hey Jane!"' Scotties were even
speaking to each other before coffee this morning. A visitor
would have been surprised and perplexed by the enthuiasm
and friendliness of everyone on campus. People were going-
out of their way to speak to everyone, and almost everybody

Tennis Club Begins Practices;
Board Reopens Lost and Found

By Pat Stewart

Letitia Pate Evans Hall was the setting for the first of the
Tennis Club meeting held on September 26th. Club members
met from 4:00 to 6:00 for their weekly practice.

The Tennis Club encourages all campus tennis fans to
meet and play with the club members on Thursdays from
4 until 6 on the tennis courts.

Although freshmen may not try
out for the club until spring quar-
ter, AA hopes that they especially
will come out and participate.
There is a new backboard on the
courts this year for individual
practice and the club members will
be glad to help players with their
strokes.

Paula Pilkenton is president of
the club and Maria Harris is vice-
president. Other members of the
club are Anne Blackshear, Nancy
Edwards, Susan Hogg, Sheila Mc-
Conochie, Judy Nash, Susan Shir-
ley, and Margaret Woolfolk.

Ruth Currie, treasurer of Ath-
letic Association, urges all stu-
dents to take advantage this year
of Lost and Found, a community
service of AA. Each week all mis-
placed articles are collected from
the dining hall, the library, the
gym, and But trick. Keys and wal-
lets with money in them are turn-
ed in to the Dean's Office. All oth-
er lost belongings are taken to the
Lost and Found room upstairs in
the Hub. These articles may be
claimed during Lost and Found
hours which are from 1 to 2 every
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

This year a list of articles in
Lost and Found will be posted on
the bulletin board across from the
book store m Buttrick. This is

done as an added service for the
student body. All students are re-
quested to read this bulletin board
each week and to claim their
things.

This week Betsy Dalton of Phila-
delphia, Pennsylvania, and Beth
Magoffin of Kingsport, Tennessee,
were named freshman managers of
hockey and archery, respectively.
The other class managers of ar-
chery are Ann Sims, sophomore;
Betty Garrard, junior; and Pat
Stewart, senior.

seemed to know everybody.

By the time classes started girls
wearing multi-colored paper badges
began to appear. These girls were
"Name Dames." They had spoken
to the right person at the right
time and had been awarded the
honor of a "Name Dame." It wa2
not long before some of these girls
had gold stars on their badges.
Every star represented another
"hello" to the right person.

Today the natural friendliness
of all Scotties is being boosted by
"Hey Day." "Hey Day" was first
organized in 1954 to encourage the
rapid learning of people's names.
It was so successful that year that
the girls voted to have a second
annual "Hey Day" in 1955. Since
that time it has become so much a
part of the Agnes Scott tradition
that no girl would feel fall quarter
was really complete without it.

"Hey Day" is the joint project
of Student Government, Christian
Association, Athletic Association,
and Social Council. .A special Spirit

Committee made up of representa-
tives from these four organiza-
tions, with Kay Weber as chair-
man, is in charge of this year's
"Hey Day." They have chosen two
"Sneak Speaks" from each class
and two from the faculty. It is the
duty of these people to award
"Name Dame" tags and gold stars
to those people who speak to them
by name. For the girl who has the
most gold stars on her "Name
Dame" badge before 6 o'clock this
afternoon there will be special
honors in chapel on Thursday as
she is dubbed "Miss Hey Day of
1957!"

Honor Emphasis Week To Begin
Oct. 14 With Morning Watch

A sense of honor is not restricted to certain phases of our
life. It is, rather, an intergral and significant part of each
person's day-to-day existence. It was with this idea in mind
that a committee, headed by Nancy Holland, met to discuss
plan for Honor Emphasis Week, which will begin on October
14.

In keeping with the idea that
honor enters into every aspect of
our lives, the committee included
a representative from each major
organization on campus: Christian
Association, Jo Flowers; Athletic
Association, Jorie Muller; Execu-
tive Committee, Harriet Tal-
madge; Social Council, Eleanor
Bradley. Nancy Edwards attended
in her capacity as Student Body
president.

The members met numerous
times in order to originate a pro-
gram which will effectively direct
our thinking and discussion during
this week set aside for the empha-
sis and study of our Honor Code.

Honor Emphasis Week will of-
ficially begin with a Morning
Watch Service to be held October
14 at 7:30 a.m. in Walters Recrea-
tion Room. The service will be led
by the presidents of the four
boards: Martha Meyer, A.A.; Sue
Lile, C.A.; Sara Margaret Heard,
Cocial Council; Nancy Edwards,
Executive Committee.

"What Honor Means to Me" will
be the subject of three talks to be
given in Chapel on October 14.
This topic will be discussed from
the viewpoint of a student, Carolyn
Mason; a faculty member, Miss
Nancy Groseclose; and an alumna.

At house meetings that night,
students in each dormitory will
divide into buzz groups to discuss
specific questions pertaining to
honor. *

At Convocation Chapel on Wed-
nesday, October 16, Dr. Alston
will speak on the Honor Code. A
campus-wide discussion of the
Honor System, moderated by Di-
ana Carpenter, will be held in the
Hub at 9:30 p.m. that evening.

Honor Emphasis Week will con-
clude with the pledge ceremony
held during Chapel on the 17th.
At this time freshmen and transfer
students will be given the oppor-
tunity to add their names to those
of the student body who already
have committed themselves to up-
hold and live by the Honor Code.

Athletic Association Presents
Cabin Plans to Student Body

Social opportunities for Agnes Scott girls are numerous
and varied. These opportunities, however, are primarily off
campus and it has been felt that there is a definite need for
a place where students can have parties, retreats, and get-
togethers here at school. This is the conclusion drawn by
Athletic Association at the fall "
Retreat.

To fill this need Athletic Asso-
ciation has presented to the stu-
dent body a proposal for a cabin
to be erected on the campus. The
plans for this building have evolv-
ed through several years of work
and discussion and this year A.A.,
with the help of Mr. Rogers, has
been able to make concrete steps
toward the realization of their
plans.

In student meeting on Thursday,
Kay Weber, chairman of the com-
mittee which has been working on
the project, and Mr. Rogers relat-
ed to the student body the present
situation and possibilities. The ma-
terials needed are already on hand,
having been saved from two houses
which were torn down. The cabin
would be located in the wooded
area near the observatory. It

would be one large room, twenty- whole student body.

five feet wide and thirty-seven
feet long, with a small storage
room and a large fireplace with an
oven and a grill. Approximately
one hundred people could be ac-
commodated for a party and there
would be room for about thirty to
spend the night.

Kay reported that the cabin
would be strictly for student use,
but would also have to be financed
by student funds. The cost would
be approximately $1,000, which
could be raised by selling "logs"
for one dollar each. According to
Mr. Rogers, the cabin could be be-
gun soon after Christmas and be
completed by spring.

Martha Meyer, president of Ath-
letic Association, said: "Much
thought and work has gone into
these plans. The success of the
project, however, depends upon the
enthusiasm and the support of the

Kay Weber shows Leoniece Davis "logs" which A.A. plans to sell to
finance the proposed cabin.

Exhibition Features
Westervelt Pottery

Of interest particularly to art
students and art lovers are the
acldjuons and changes made in the
Third Floor Eur trick Gallery ex-
hioition by Mr. 'Varren, Miss Hu-
ber, and Mr. Westervelt and also
the 'new look*' which has appear-
ed in the ceramics studio on the
ground floor or the soer.ce build-
ing.

Those who have struggled
through ceramics in Art 199, who
have wondered how in the world
to make the pots round instead of
elliptical, who have seen their mas-
terpieces (three-ir.ch bowls) come
out of the kiln in two pieces,
would be especially interested in
j he excellent stoneware exhibition
by Mr. Robert Westervelt.

The clay materials that he has
used in his stoneware have been
fired to "essentially volcanic tem-
peratures." Under such heat the
materials are not simply stuck to-
gether, but they are literally
transformed into a substance that
resembles volcanic rock. A phen-
omenon occurs when the clay is
changed from one of the softest to
one of the hardest materials known
to man.

Mr. Westervelt, his wife, and
three children have recently come
to Agnes Scott from California,
one of the pottery centers of our
nation. However, according to Mr.
Westervelt, Georgia has more clay
materials needed for ceramics
than any other state. Georgia has
only to develop her resources to
become one of the leading pottery
centers in the world.

ANNONCEMENT
The DEK-IT contest will be
held this afternoon, October 9,
from 3-6 PM. Miss Huper,
Nancy Burkitt, and Sally Smith
will be the judges. So, frosh,
get those rooms cleaned up!

Freshmen To Meet
Tuesday in '61 Club

'61 Club, the newest chapter of
the C.A. -sponsored club especially
for freshmen, will have its first
meeting Tuesday, October 15, at
5:00 in Walters Rec Room, ac-
cording to Nancy Grayson, fresh-
man advisor for Christian Asso-
ciation.

'61 Club offers the freshmen an
opportunity for leadership through
their own officers, and planning
programs and activities they want.
They will have various money-
raising projects through the year
for their activities.

Class of '60 Visits
With Dean's Family

An event on the social agenda
for a portion of the class of 1960
was the open house given by Dean
and Mrs. C. Benton Kline, October
6 from 8:30-10:30 p.m. The open
house was held at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Kline, 311 South Candler
Street.

Refreshments were served while
the record player and television
set also were centers of interest
throughout the evening. Mr. Kline
will entertain other members of
the class with open-house parties
on October 13 and October 20.

Black Cat chorus works nightly on songs for the October 12 cele-
bration.

Community A waitsAnnual
Appearance of Black Cat

The blue signs with the paw-prints of the legendary
Black Cat and the magic promise of gold glitter that can be
seen all over the campus mean only one thing: Black Cat Day
is coming this week-end. Saturday, October 1, festivities will
begin at 4:30 with the sweepstakes competition involving
fierce rivalry between the classes.

Here the freshmen will be able to
show for the first time their spirit
as a class. The picnic on the hockey
field is at 5:30, the songs and skits
begin at 7:00 in the gym, and the
dance will be held from 9:00 to
12:00 in Rebekah.

The theme of the Black Cat
show this year is Music. The three
upper classes will write and pre-
sent skits which fit the general
theme. The freshman talent show
follows the skits, and the evening
will be climaxed by the announce-
ment of the winner of the song
competition and the presentation
of the traditional black cat by Eve
Purdom, sophomore class presi-
dent, to the freshman Black Cat
chairman.

The recently-elected Black Cat
chairman is Dot tie Burns and tb
co-chairmen of the song commit-
tee are Kathy Kemp and Jean Ab-
endroth. Ann Rivers Payne, junior
class president, is assisting with
the freshman talent show.

The leads in the Black Cat pro-
duction are Nancy Kimmel, Kay
Weber, Nancy Awbrey, and Punky
Fambrough. They will be the co-
ordinating factors in the show,
tying in the three skits with the
over-all theme.

The Black Cat chorus, which
will be used more this year than
previously, is made up of four girls
from each class. Seniors are Mari-
lyn Tribble, Nancy Alexander,
Lang Sydnor, and Susie Ware,
chorus chairman. Junior members
are Annette Teague, Caroline Dud-
ley, Nita Sheldon, and Jorie Mul-
ler. From the sophomores are Dana

New Lower House
Plans 'Cat 1 Picnic

Last night in house meetings all
over the campus, students chose
their representatives to the lower
house of the student government
organization. On Wednesday, Oc-
tober 17, girls representing every
cottage, every floor of every dorm,
and the day student group will
become members of Lower House
in a special installation service. A
retreat on Tuesday, October 16,
at Miss Scandrett's house will help
to orient these representatives in
the purposes and plans of Lower
House.

Today Lower House is holding
its first meeting of the year in
order to get started on its plans,
for Black Cat Day, October 12.
This body is in charge of the Black
Cat picnic and the favors to be
given there.

Wardie Abernathy, Lower House
chairman, points out that, as a
representative body for the stu-
dents, Lower House strives always
to be sensitive to student needs
and to fulfill those needs wherever
possible. In line with this aim, a
principal project this year will be
to work closely with the individual
House Councils in order to make
them an integral part of the stu-
dent government organization since
they are one of the closest links
between the students and their
government.

Also as a representative body,
Lower House will be working
closely with the National Student
Association, particularly the Great
Southeastern Regional division of
which Wardie is secretary.

Cabin Co-op

One of the major conclusions drawn by Athletic Associa-
tion at the fall pre-school conference was the fact that Agnes
Scott was in dire need of some thing or some place to provide
entertainment and recreation for students here on campus.
There was the feeling that outside social activities were
plenteous that there were abundant opportunities for girls
to mix socially with Tech and Emory but that the students
sadly lacked facilities with which to relax and recreate at
"home."

Resulting from that conclusion was the plan and prepara-
tion for a cabin to be built somewhere in the vicinity of the
Observatory. Athletic Association wasted no time in acting
upon the suggestion of a cabin and is to be commended for
its diligent efforts to carry through the plan in such short
order. Mr. P. J. Rogers enthusiastically endorsed the plan
and has given much time and energy to the project.

But, the cabin was not suggested for the use of only Ath-
letic Association or Mr. Rogers. It was designed to fulfill a
definite need of the student body as a whole. Consequently, if
it is felt by the student body that there is such a need, it is
the students' obligation to support the project. Not only is
financial support necessary, but enthusiasm for and the en-
joyment of the cabin after it is completed are elements in-
cluded in our support.

Our decision must be based on our own personal feelings
concerning the need of such a project, and, if there is a need
felt, the willingness to cooperate and share the responsibility
of making a good thing live. L.S.

Promise Of
Paw -Prints

Eye-catching signs, nightly rehearsals, secret song practices,
and last minute decorating these all have special meaning
for us this week. Everywhere there is excitement! Girls are
found huddled in little groups discussing clever plans for the
celebration. The hearty ring of laughter drifts across the
campus as the cast assembles in the gym to practice the skit.
The Black Cat has crept up once again bringing joy and de-
light to our school.

Each fall this community contributes its talent in drama,
songs, and artistic endeavor to create a traditional and signi-
ficant occasion. During the summer, classes have been separat-
ed. Now, at the beginning of a new school session, they are
given a time to co-operate in this festive celebration. Mem-
bers gather to build props, compose songs, write skits, and
plan the Sweepstakes activities. It is a time when we, as
individual classes, are given a chance to "congeal," so to
speak. It is an opportunity to create together, to work to-
gether, to laugh together, and to grow together.

In addition to promoting a togetherness of spirit, Black Cat
Day honors our freshman class. These "new" girls have come
from many different sections of the United States; some have
come from other countries. But as they join to become a part
of Agnes Scott College, we, the upperclassmen, want them to
know how happy we are that they have come to us. Although
they have been here only several weeks, they are a very vital
part of our community. It is our wish that they know of our
interest in them both as a class and as individuals.

Saturday night we will welcome the class of 1961 in the
biggest way we know. The Black Cat spirit comes to us this
week. We hope that we can keep it alive the entire year,
transmitting it to those who have so recently come to our
campus. H.T.K.

Organization (?)
Secret of Success

By Grace Robertson

There having been numerous (2)
requests for information on "How
to become an organized person,"
we a^e now offering instruction in
fchfts field as a public service to
the entire community.

The primary point in becoming
truly organized is to figure out
what you want to organize. This
will save a great deal of time in
the iong run. Incidentally, some
people speak of organizing their
time, but this is sometimes rather
silly, since, when you finally get
your time organized and allotted,
you will probably find that a great
portion of it (the time) has already
been consumed in planning what
tc do with it. Second, any sched-
ules or organizations of activities
should be flexible. Otherwise, you
may find that you are giving your-
self the same amount of time to
write a term paper as you have to
wash your hair. (This usually re-
sults in a washed-out paper and
ink-smeared hair.)

One very practical aid to organ-
ization is to memorize your sched-
ule of classes early in the quarter.
This saves you from walking into
your Tuesday classes on Wednes-
day or, even worse, on Sunday.
Another handy-dandy system
which many people practice to aid
the shaky memory is the making
of lists. These will help you re-
member appointments, necessities
you have to buy, and homework
assignments. The only pitfall in
this system is that if you are for-
getful enough to need a list, you
are probably also forgetful enough
to forget where you put it.

Another area in which many of
us are disorganized is in keeping
with our belongings, such as pen-
cils, textbooks, umbrellas, and

Foreign Countries Deride U.S.
As Arkansas Crisis Continues

By Carolyn Magruder

A recent "New York Times" cartoon captioned "Around
the World" shows a black stone, appropriately labeled "The
Little Rock Crisis," surrounded by a body of water which is
noticeably rippled into ever widening circles because of the
stone's violent impact upon its surface. The linear symbolism

gardless of the
"egion w here
they may live.

For in today. s
: o m munication-
.ightened world,
no nation can af-
ford the luxury
of airirrg its dirty
domestic linen in
he privacy of its
backyard. As one
reporter expresses it: . . . "By now
all Europe and the rest of the
world as well knows that the U.S.
faces the most serious internal
difficulty in nearly a century."

And in the opinion of veteran
U.S. diplomats and newsmen, the
impression of Little Rock abroad
was far from good. Communist
and left wing newspapers both in-
side and outside the iron curtain
are having a hey-day slashing
their front pages with stories, pic-
tures, cartoons all calculated
to cast a permanent blot upon
America's name.

At Rome, for example, the Com-
munist paper printed a cartoon
showing the Statue of Liberty
garbed in the robes of the Ku

Klux Klan and holding a burning
Negro child in place of its torch.
In Hong Kong one word was
shrieked "bloodshed." The
"London Daily Herald," voice of
Britain's Socialist Labor Party,
derisively wrote: "There's some-
thing rotten in the state of Arkan-
sas .. . white-skinned rottenness
that oozes from a black and evilish
unseen pigment in their souls."

Obviously, such commentaries
are of the highly sensationalized
type, designed to arouse a purely
emotional response. Important, in
this respect, is the fact that the
responsible press in many areas
such as Germany, Austria, Japan
play the story of Little Rock
"calmly and factually, even sym-
pathetically."

Yet in sensitive Asia and the
race-conscious Middle East, the
more explosive propaganda is ap-
parently reaching open and willing
ears. When the shouting has been
subdued, the "bayonets finally
withdrawn," and the South is quiet
once more, it will be to the peoples
of these underveloped areas that
America will have to reestablish
her reputation as the "land of the
free" if she can.

This group of children is typical of those led in recreation by Lila
McGeachy and Kathy Flory at settlement houses in New York City.

Flory, McGeachy Devote Summer
To Teaching In Manhattan Slum Area

By Mary Moore

Among the Agnes Scott students filling out their liberal education programs with sum-
mer jobs, two ventured as far afield as settlement houses in New York City. For senior
Kathy Flory and junior Lila McGeachy, the weeks spent working with underprivileged
children in Manhatten proved to be definitely "educational."

Sandwiched in between a fruit stand and pizza grill on a side street near the East
River, the Church of All Nations
Settlement House was the head-
quarters for Lila McGeachy from
June 24 to August 19. This non-
denominational play school, often
pointed out as a model of its kind,
served 150 neighborhood children
aged 6-12 of Puerto Rican, Italian,
Chinese, Negro, Hungarian, and
Russian backgrounds. Work for
Lila consisted of planning, direct-
ing, and controlling the activities
of 20 energetic six-year-olds.

This program included games,
handwork, swimming, hiking, and
picnics. The most exhausting part
of each day, according to Lila, was
the hour-long "rest period" when
she vainly attempted to keep her
children quiet and still after lunch.
Other trying moments came as
she herded her charges on and off
subways and tried to keep up with
her group on the Staten Island
Ferry.

Easy Discipline

Discipline problems were reduc-
ed to a minimum when the chil-
dren learned that misbehavior
could cause them to lose the high-
ly-coveted privilege of swimming
in the settlement house pool. While
most of the children were unpre-
pared for many organized activi-
ties, Lila reported "quite a thrill"
at observing the children ot all
cultural backgrounds playing to-
gether in harmony.

Although recreational leadership
courses and previous experiences
working in church Bible schools
had helped prepare Lila for this
job, she found herself in a situa-
tion very different from any which
she had formerly faced. While
many of these children had been
mistreated and could be considered
underprivileged, Lila found them
to be lively, imaginative, and
"most responsive."

Extreme Poverty
Over at the Henry Street Set-
tlement House on the Lower East
Side of Manhatten, Kathy Flory
was one of eight college-age play-
school teachers directing the ac-.
tivities of the neighborhood chil-
dren, almost all of whom were
Puerto Ricans. While almost all of
these children were extremely poor,
they sensed no lacks and seemed
to consider themselves quite well-
off. For many, life in the cramped,
crowded slums represented a great
step upward from their old life.

Discipline here constituted much
more of a problem as the majority
had been accustomed to harsh
physical punishment. They had
long been managed by a strap
and had little respect and under-

standing for any other type of con-
trol; also, each child was ready
and willing to fight in order to get
what he wanted. By the end of the
summer Kathy reported that her
group of seven-year-olds was tam-
er, but could still be considered in
some respects "savage."

All of the children entered en-
thusiastically into the program
and enjoyed the few picnics and
excursions outside the immediate
area; for many these represented
the only opportunity to see life
outside of their own neighborhood.
Fellow Southerners

Although Lila expressed some
disappointment that the students
in her group were all from the
South, she found them to be inter-
esting and agreeable. Taking turns
at cooking and other household
chores, they stayed in an apart-
ment at the settlement house. Af-
ter living there several weeks and
shopping in the nearby stores, the
students were accepted with
warmth and friendliness by the
other members of the community.

Kathy, who got her job through
the YWCA summer student serv-
ice, found herself the only south-
erner in a group containing stu-
dents from California, Texas,
South Dakota, New Jersey, and
New York. She valued her exper-
iences living with these students
from other sections of the country
almost as much as her work with
the city children.

For both Lila and Kathy, this
was the first lengthy stay in New
York. Coming from Statesville,
North Carolina, and Boice, Vir-
ginia, they found life in the Big
City "wonderful" and "out of this

world."

With Lila, who saw all the
sights from Chinatown to the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, seeing "My
Fair Lady" will always stand out
in her memory, while she was al-
so fascinated by the Fifth Avenue
shops. To share in the cosmopoli-
tan feeling she took a commuters'
train to Connecticut for a week-
end trip and also visited Cape Cod.
SRO Tickets

While Kathy liked all phases of
her stay, she particularly enjoyed
seeing nine Broadway shows, and
reported that getting up at 5:30
a.m. to wait in line for "standing
room only" tickets to "My Fair
Lady" was well worth it. In addi-
tion she looks back with pleasure
to operas and concerts in Central
Park as well as to "Othello" pre-
sented at the American Shakes-
peare Festival at Stratford, Con-
necticut.

For Kathy, who ptans to do so-
cial work, the summer job offered
valuable experience for her future
career, but she stated "I wish
everyone could do this; it was a
marvelous experience." Evaluat-
ing her experience, Lila termed it
"a wonderfully well-rounded sum-
mer: working, playing, learning,
and enjoying every minute of it."

Scotties Invade Fair Midway;
Others Frolic At Fraternities

By Corky Feagin

Cotton candy, calliope music, fairway barkers, mudcaked new shoes,
flashing lights, farm exhibits, exciting rides the Southeastern Fair
is here! And already more than twenty-five Scotties have seen it.

Jean Abendroth, Roxanna Speight, Juanita Juarez, Ann Ashford, Peg
Elliott, Mary Clayton Bryan, Peggy Britt, and Paula Pilkenton seemed
as thrilled as seven-year olds. Ramona Cartwright claims that Diana
Carpenter, Mary Jo Cowart, Caroline Dudley, Margie Erickson,
Peggy Fanson, Harriet Harrill, Joyce Seay, Tomi Lewis, Carlanna
Lindamood, and Suzanne Manges are still washing the spun sugar
out of their eyelashes and ears. Bugs Matthews, Ann Rivers Payne,
Ces Rudisill, Marion Walton, and Betty Garrard looked a little green
for a day or two from the rides and eats.

The Emory Phi Delts held forth at Snapfinger Friday night in
the delightful company of Sally Bryan, Maria Harris, Jane Hender-
son, Irene Shaw, Martha Lambeth, Jody Armbrecht, and Joe Bryan
Robertson.

Jean Corbett, June Connally, Barbara McDonald, Nora Ann Simp-
son, and Betsy Dalton could have danced all night at the Emory KA
dance at the Avondale American Legion hall Friday.

Still at Emory, Suzannah Mas ton, Pat Holmes, Mary Jane Moore,
and Lulu McCaughan were at Sigma Pi on Friday, and Beverly Car-
ter, Mary Dunn, Judy Elmore, Harriett Elder, Ann Holloman, Jody
Webb, Jane Law, Ann Tilly, and Pani Doar were at Sigma Chi Satur-
day.

A good many Scott girls entertained at Tech ATO over the week-
end: Betty Cline, Pat Owen, Eleanor Lee, Carolyn Hazard, Judy
Albergotti, Kay Richards, Mike Booth, Ann Broad, Nancy Awbrey,
Martha Hanna, Theresa Kindred, and Jill Imray.

Saturday night at Tech Jo Ann Stokes, Persia Lewis, Ann Parker,
and Ann Cobb vascillated between Hank and Jerry's and the TKE
house. Janice Henry, Barbara Specht, Ann McBride, Jorie Muller,
Suzanne Orme, and Ruth Leroy took care of the Kappa Sigs.

Mimi Phillips and Patti Forrest jazz concert-ed at Wits End over
the weekend. Sid Howell and Betty Barber were fascinated by an
exhibit at the Atlanta Art Museum. Such culture!

Glowing from a Methodist Retreat at Roosevelt State Park: E. P.
Parker, Marty Young, Kay Strain, Sissy Daniel, Grace Robertson,
and Phillis Cox.

This was Rat Hop Weekend at Clemson. Ambassadresses from
Agnes Scott were Betty Gzeckowiez, Lucy Davis, Curt Swords,
Lavonne Nally. Babe McFadden witnessed pledging at Carolina KA,
of course.

ZIP (Emory dental fraternity) had its last rush party Saturday.
Eve Purdom, Sissy Baumgardner, Kathryn Anne Chambers, Peggy
Wells, Suzanne Hoskins, Carolyn Mason, Dana Hundley, Rosemary
Roberts, Anne McWhorter, and Val Edwards say the party was won-
derful.

The men from Sewanee seen on campus recently were guests of
Alice Frazer, Millie McCravey, and Nancy Moore.

There have

the point system. The ciass man-
ager is now given two points in-
stead of one. A member of the

three fourths of the practices may
now receive credit for both for a
total of 7 points. Formerly, a stu-
dent could receive points either
for participation or for being a
member of the team but not for
both.

A. A. recognizes that not all
students possess the ability to
make the class teams. Therefore
the Sports Board was set up to
give credit to students for time
spent participating in any athletic
activity sponsored by A.A., includ-
ing riding and bicycling. For
every 10 hours spent in athletic
activities, students are given 1
point toward their letter. Stu-
dents are reminded that they can
not receive credit on the Sports
Board for practice hours which
have already been recorded by
their class managers. The Sports
Board gives credit for extra hours.

All students must record their
own time on the Sports Board
which is located in the gym at the
head of the stairs which lead to
the pool area. Caroline Mikell,
A.A. Recorder, periodically checks
this board and urges all students
to record their hours promptly.

From the "Furman Hornet"
comes this bit of "dress policy":

"The art of non-conformity:
Part of college is becoming an in-
dividual, being yourself, in your
work and in your dress. You can
wear a burlap hat with squirrel
tail if you choose, but try not to
be a non-conformist about rules."

In the "Technique" was found
this illustration of freshman nai-
vete :

"It is true that all Georgia Tech
freshmen believe during the first
six weeks of college that:

"A gentleman never receives a
grade higher than "C".

"Students who flunk out of
Tech can go to the University.

"The English profs are frustrat-
ed novelists.

"The Scott girls are crazy for
Tech men.

"College life is exactly like it is

other services and contribute much

"Nautilus" stays submerged so long that it
only surfaces to let the crew re-enlist.
Perhaps for this reason, the Navy has taken
valuable space aboard the "Nautilus" for the
only soft-drink vending machine in the entire
submarine fleet.

Naturally (or you wouldn't hear about it
from us) it's a Coca-Cola machine. And not
unexpectedly, re-enlistments are quite
respectable.

Rugged lot, those submariners. Great
drink, Coke! SIGN OF GOOD TASTE

CA Plans International Festival;
Foreign Students To Participate

By Caroline Miller

Agnes Scott will be the scene of an International Festival
from October 22 through October 26. In observance of United
Nations Day, October 24, a week of international activities is
being planned. The festival will be sponsored by Christian
Association with the help of Social Council, Student Govern-
ment, and International Relations

Club.

The purpose of this internation-
al week, according to Sue Lile,
president of C.A., is "to make all
of us more aware of the cultural
background from which arise the
political and economic issues of
our world today." Over-all chair-
men of this project are Rosemary
Roberts and Lea Kallman.

Chapel programs throughout the
week will center on the "world"
theme. Initiating International Re-
lations Week, chapel on Tuesday,
October 22, will be a panel discus-
sion led by Runita McCurdy and
sponsored by IRC. Mrs. Sims is to
speak in Convocation Wednesday,
October 23, on the international
theme.

On United Nations Day, Thurs-
day, October 24, Student Govern-
ment will present a U.N. program.
The Music Club plans a program
of international songs for Friday,
October 25. Thanksgiving chapel
on Saturday, October 26, will be
led by Diana Carpenter.

An international dinner in the
dining hall has been planned by
Mrs. Hatfield for Friday night.

"International Avenue" will be
the theme of one of the highlights
of the week. Saturday afternoon
in the recreation room of Walters
there will be booth displays rep-
resenting many parts of the world.

For the booth depicting Africa,
Mary Clapp is chairman of the
committee. Other committee chair-
men for their respective booths
are: Barbara Varner, Middle East;
Louise Healy, Far East; Jean
Clark, USSR and satellites; Caro-
lyn Magruder, Western Europe;
Ces Rudisill, Latin America; Anita
Sheldon, United Nations.

A sidewalk cafe, sponsored by
Social Council under the direction
of Mary Jo Cowart and Eleanor
Bradley, will provide refreshments.
The food served will be "interna-
tional" tidbits and beverages pre-
pared by our own foreign students

There will be a display of sou-
venirs from different countries
and our foreign students will lend
atmosphere by being dressed in
costumes of their native lands.

Those participating will be Faith
Chao, Grace Chao, Mildred Ling,
Choon Hi Choi, Helen Salfiti, and
Miriam Inbar.

Festivities will be from 2:00 to
4:00 in the afternoon, and will be
open to the entire community and
their guests.

Mora To Address Community
October 21 In Gaines Chapel

"I don't know anything that is going on outside of this
campus" is a remark made by an Agnes Scott student.
Through Lecture Association's first speaker, Dr. Jose A. Mora,
the community will have an opportunity to become informed
on affairs within the American States. Dr. Mora's address,
"Latin America and the United
States," is scheduled for Monday,
October 21, at 8:00 p.m. in Gaines.

Dr. Mora, the present Secretary
General of the Organization of Am-
erican States, has served his native
country, Uruguay, in various inter-
national affairs. He has held the
position of Minister from Uruguay
to the United States, Spain, and
Brazil.

This spokesman for Uruguay
attended conferences at Panama
in 1939, Havana in 1940, Rio de
Janeiro in 1942, and Mexico in
1945. In 1946 he was a delegate to
the General Assembly of the Uni-
ted Nations from Uruguay.

Before his lecture on October
21, Dr. Mora will be the guest of
honor at a dinner given by Dr.
and Mrs. Alston in the President's
Dining Room. The Alstons have
invited members of the Consular
Corps who represent their govern-
ments as consuls in Atlanta. The
governments represented will be
Belgium, Dominican Republic, Ger-
many, Israel, Mexico, Switzerland,
Peru, United Kingdom, and Uru-
guay. Miss Mell and faculty mem-
bers of the Spanish Department
will also be present.

After the lecture, Agnes Scott
students will have an opportunity
to meet Dr. Mora at a reception

Jose A. Mora

in Rebekah Scott Hall. Honored
guests at the reception will include
members of the Pan American
Club and the Circulo Hispano-
Americano of Atlanta. Members of
Lecture Association will serve as
hostesses for the reception.

Student Leaders, Faculty,
Alumna Speak on Honor

As Honor Emphasis Week continues on the campus, the
entire community is becoming more aware of the integral
and essential part that the honor system plays in the daily
life of every person at Agnes Scott.

Attention was first turned officially to the honor system
at a morning watch service held
in Walter's Recreation Room at

7:30 Monday, October 14. The
thought-provoking worship service
was led by the presidents of the
four boards: Nancy Edwards, Ex-
ecutive Committee; Sara Margaret
Heard, Social Council; Sue Lile,
C.A.; and Martha Meyer, A.A.

Three chapel programs during
the week are being devoted to the
honor system. On Tuesday, October
14, three viewpoints were heard as
a student, Carolyn Mason, a pro-
fessor, Miss Nancy Groseclose, and
an alumna, Miss Sarah Frances
McDonald; each spoke on "What
Honor Means to Me." Dr. Alston
delivered an address on the honor
system in Convocation this morn-
ing. Tomorrow the honor pledge
ceremony is to be held. Nancy Ed-
wards as president of Student Gov-
ernment will make a brief talk,
and students will sign the honor
pledge.

Students are having an oppor-
tunity to discuss the honor system
in informal gatherings during
house meetings, during the Hub
discussion to be led by Diana Car-
penter at 9:30 Wednesday eve-
ning, October 16, and in hall pray-
ers. They are not, however, limit-
ing themselves to these scheduled
events, and stimulating conversa-

tions on the honor system can be
overheard in the dining hall, in the
book store, in the dorms.

Survey To Indicate
Pattern Popularity

Randy Norton, Mortar Board
president, has announced that rep-
resentatives from the Towle Silver
Company and the Royal Doulton
China Company will be at Agnes
Scott Monday and Tuesday, Octo-
ber 21 and 22, to interview stu-
dents concerning their preferences
in silver and china. In a survey of
this type the representatives bring
samples and use the opinions of
the students as aids in their pro-
duction.

Mortar Board is asking juniors',
seniors, and some sophomores to
come for three-minute interviews
with the representatives, and they;
are urging anyone who is interest-
ed, but who hasn't been contacted,,
to see a Mortar Board member.
The Towle Silver survey will be
Monday, October 21, from 1:00 to
5:00 p.m., in the End Date Parlor
in Main, while the Royal Doulton
China representative will be in the
Hopkins living room from 9:30 to
5:00 on Tuesday, October 22.

For the privilege of interview-
ing Agnes Scott students, the two
companies will pay a sum of mon-
ey, part of which will be used to 1
help finance the Arts Festival in
the spring.

...Just Haven't Time'

A necessary function for the intelligent mind is the ability
to develop an interest in and knowledge of numerous and
varied areas of our living. Often we become so engrossed in
one field or one area which pertains to us personally that we
reach a point of unbalance we become mentally lazy, de-
veloping only part of our mental powers.

That has seemed to be the case of many of us here on the
Agnes Scott campus. We have made little patterns for our-
selves by which we live from day to day eating, sleeping,
dating, studying. And when anything different anything
that interrupts or varies with that pattern presents itself,
we shove it aside with the inevitable excuse, "I just haven't
time."

So it is with lectures, concerts, and our opportunties to
broaden our knowledge of international affairs. Many of us
have literally thrown away chances to broaden our horizons.

October 24 is United Nations Day. In observance of that
day, an International Festival, to begin October 22 and con-
tinue through the 26th, has been planned by Christian Asso-
ciation with the help of three other organizations.

A vast amount of work and energy has been elicited to
make the week successful successful to the extent of stimu-
lating in us a sincere interest in the concern for the countries
around us.

Will we throw this opportunity away also because "we just
haven't time?" L.S.

Our Concern?

Amid the recent general speculations concerning the Rus-
sian satellite, a friend posed a question the other day that
set us thinking more about the far-reaching effects of this
fantastic feat than about any immediate danger to our coun-
try: How will the successful launching of a man-made satel-
lite by Soviet Russia effect the program of study in our own
colleges and universities for future generations? In other
words, will we, in order to stay in the race of scientific ad-
vancement, find it necessary to develop a highly-specialized,
technical type of higher education for the youth of America
to the ultimate exclusion of the kind of education we are
getting at our school?

We here at Agnes Scott know "the value of a liberal arts
education." We have written essays, made talks, and had
lectures delivered on the subject. We feel very strongly and
definitely about the program of study in which we are en-
gaged. Yet, it seems that we are fast becoming the minority:
elsewhere in our country a trend is being established that
continues to gain momentum. Numerous articles in magazines
and newspapers point out the great strides Russia has made
in science through a study program that is highly specialized;
we see the necessity for further development of such training
in the United States.

How can we reconcile the stimulating, independent think-
ing of the liberal arts study which we know is nefcessary for
the preservation of our democratic, free spirit in this country
to the exacting, disciplined thinking of the technical study
which we know is necessary for all practical purposes in the
defense of our nation?

As students in this community where questioning, indivi-
dual and original thinking is our heritage, we must view both
sides unemotionally and intelligently.

Knitters Need No
'Know-how'; Try It!

By Sara Anne Carey

So you want to knit some
socks! Welcome to the club! Don't
say, "I could never do it right."
Just pitch right in and prove it.
The first requirement for this pro-
ject is, of course, a victim ... I
mean fellow ... on whom to pass
off the finished (assumed that you
finish) product.

Having found a target, your next
step is to trolley to Atlanta and
hunt down the makings. You will
find sock kits at Rich's or almost
any other department store. Hav-
ing paid about three or four times
the price of an ordinary store-
bought pair of socks, you are now
ready to begin knitting.

Don't be discouraged when you
try to translate the directions.
Anyone who has already been
through the same mess will be
glad to help. Also don't be discour-
aged if it takes forever to make
just one sock. Above all, don't lose
hope every time you remember
that you fellow has two feet. Take
heart from the thought that you
may be able to give him a whole
sock for Christmas, and that by
next Easter he may have two per-
fectly (?) beautiful red, white,
and green socks to wear with his
new blue suit.

From the Mary Washington
"Bullet" come these helpful hints
on how to "befriend a prof."

1. Bring the professor newspaper
clippings dealing with his subject.
If you don't find clippings dealing
with his subject, bring in clip-
pings at random. He thinks every-
thing 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 ob-
jective.

4. 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, dozing.

5. Call attention to his writings.

Student Apathy Injures Honor
System; Interest, Queries Vital

By Betty Cline

Editor's note: This column by Betty Cline is a compilation of
questions concerning Agnes Scott's Honor System. They have been
collected from remarks overheard over the campus,

"Strength of mind is exercise, not rest." (Alexander Pope) .

It has been said that one of the aims of a liberal education
is to teach men to think for themselves; to weigh the facts,
consider the evidence and draw their own conclusions. Noth-
ing is more detrimental to this ideal than a stagnant mind.
A lazy mind is only surpassed in

contemptability by one which is
apathetic.

Our first responsibility as stu-
dents who live by the Honor Sys-
tem is to care. This concern
should prompt in us the desire to
frequently re-examine and re-eval-
uate our Honor Code in an effort
to strengthen it. Honor Emphasis
Week affords us this opportunity.

As has been said, an attitude of
concern is fundamental to a heal-
thy and vital Honor Code. Sugges-
tions and constructive criticisms
should always be welcomed. How-
ever, some students feel that their
opinions and ideas are not consid-
ered and discussed, and they have
asked this question: "What oppor-
tunity do I have as an individual
or a member of a group to make
my suggestions known? What sort
of consideration is given to the
questions asked by the student
body and how are they acted upon ?

Since the students are the ones
who have to live by the Honor
Code, why don't they have more
voice in the rules which govern
them? Are there not occasions
when the vote of the student body

could be exercised in deciding
questions directly concerning their
welfare?

Another question which has been
frequently asked is this: "Why is
there so much difference between
freshmen and upperclassmen privi-
leges?" For example, why do stu-
dents have to wait until their ju-
nior year to have unlimited social
engagements? In connection with
this, there is also a feeling among
some people that relatively minor
rules such as those governing call-
downs and sign -out privileges tend
to undermine the over-all effect-
iveness of the Honor System.

It is assumed that student lead-
ers believe in and uphold the ideals
for which the college stands. In
view of this conception some stu-
dents think that those girls in po-
sitions of leadership all tend to
feel the same way about the Honor
System ("gung-ho" is a term often
used to express this attitude). It
is felt that they are not realty
aware of all elements of student
feeling or of all sides of the ques-
tion. Is this a healthy state of
affairs?

Internationally Speaking

Russia s Scientific Invention
Creates Tension, Awe In U.S.

By Carolyn Magruder

Twentieth century man has justly prided himself on the
ability to remove all barriers that stand before his conqtfest
of new frontiers. Russia's launching of a man-made satellite,
the "Sputnik," represents another step in this direction by
opening new vistas of knowledge and of travel in space
Undoubtedly, this is an achieve-

ment of profound scientific signi-
ficance for all mankind.

Western nations, though, are ex-
periencing a corresponding uneasi-
ness and concern
as to what thej
Soviet scientific
advance can and
will mean for|
the rest of the
world. For the
satellite con-
cretely demon-
strates that Rus-
sia is a top mili-
tary power, able
to challenge

American leadership not only be-
cause of her massive size and re-
sources, but also because of her
excellence in the research field.
It is no wonder that the free world
is properly awed and not a
little terrified by the imagined
or real implications connected with
this radio-controlled man-made
moon.

Before Americans allow them-
selves to indulge in exaggerated
feelings of anxiety, however, at
least two important factors need
to be considered. The primacy of
the Soviet satellite does not auto-
matically make the Russians "rul-
ers of space," in view of the fact
that other satellites will soon be
launched from this and other
countries.

Secondly, the "Sputnik" disclo-
sure, like previous A-bomb and
H-bomb announcements, must be
regarded as a fearful, yet some-
how inevitable, move in the East-
West war of nerves. This psycho-
logical battle America can never
hope to win if she flounders in
science-fiction nightmares instead
of exerting the calm, competent
leadership for which the world so
urgently cries.

A purely personal note from the
columnist is in behalf of C.A.'s
International Festival. Much plan-
ning, research, and plain manual
labor is going into the make-up of
this event which, in the opinion of
many, is of the timeliest signifi-
cance. The festival deserves your
support, but you owe it to yourself
to partake of the up-to-date in-
formation it affords.

Junior Songbirds
Do It Once More

Copping first place honors once
again in the song contest at Sat-
urday's Black Cat was the Class
of '59.

The juniors' song was an orig-
inal composition which was com-
posed by Sylvia Ray and the words
written by a junior committee.

Second place in the song con-
test was won by the sophomore
class.

Edwards Emphasizes Re-examination,
Rededication For Stronger Community

By Nancy Edwards

Editor's note: These are the Honor System views of Nancy Edwards, President of Student Govern-
ment. She has attempted to organize her column in relation to the question posed in Cline's article.

One purpose of Honor Emphasis week is indeed to re-examine and re-evaluate the
Honor System. But this is only half of a twofold purpose. It is just as important that we
re-examine and re-focus ourselves. Almost without exception we agree that basically ideally
our Honor System is good. If, therefore, we might undergird our critical attitude with a
spirit of appreciation for the freedom, challenge, and responsibility adherent in such an

Honor Code, we will not miss the
point as we share ideas during
this week. We shall not take for
granted the ad-
vantages of the
Honor. System
while we pick
about inconveni-
ences, to the cry
of "principle."
~*~3& W Let us see ^ to
rededicate sup-
||f port as we strive
to improve what
none of us con-
tends to be without defect.

It is understandable, I think, to
feel that as a single member of
our student body, one's opinions
and questions are not of sufficient
weight to effect results; but this
is not so. It is not even democrat-
ic. As the student body, we are
the highest court of appeal, and do
hold the end in influence. If this
is true only in theory, then some-
thing is wrong with student lead-
ers with our channels.

A Leader's Responsibility
This brings to light a very per-
tinent consideration. If student
leaders are not aware of different
elements of student feeling, they
lack a fundamental attribute of
leadership sensitivity. If, fur-
thermore, made aware of feeling,
they allow either personal opinion
or lethargy to block unprejudiced
expression of student opinion, they
fail abominably those whom they
represent. In short, they are not
worthy of the faith we vest in
them. Now failure is one thing,
and incompetence is another. It is
our duty to see that people whom
we respect and trust are put into
positions of leadership. They do
not elect themselves, nor or they
appointed. This is a place where
responsibility of and for leadership
touches every person on campus.
The opinion of every student is of
vital importance!

Thus student feeling should be
represented through representa-
tives. However, there are addition-
al means. Naturally, the first thing
that comes to mind is discussion
during this week. Ideas expressed
now will be recorded, compiled, and
examined by those in charge of
the week's activities. This is per-
haps Student Government's most
comprehensive concensus.

Participate. And throughout the
year, communicate. See that ideas
and dissatisfactions are channeled
beyond a small and rabid gripe
session. There is always room for
change.

On the other hand, we may agi-
tate for more responsibility than
we would in reality desire. If we
as students were burdened with
the ultimate responsibility for
many of our policies, we would not
have time to get an education.
Many people devote lifetimes to
administration. Our primary pur-
pose here is to learn!

In regard to relatively minor
rules and their connection to the
Honor System: It seems that the
same explanation may be applied
here as is applicable to the reason
for having the Honor Code extend
beyond the academic area of our
life. In the first place, honor in its

full connotation involves not only
concern for self, but also consider-
ation and care for other people.
Anywhere that people live togeth-
er, they must live beyond self. In
writing to incoming freshmen this
summer, I found my thoughts ex-
pressed in this way: "The College
exists because we can do together
what none of us can do alone. It
is therefore necessary to adhere to
a structure of rules It is often
not a question of what is most con-
venient for self, but of what is best
for the community."

Consideration, unselfishness, ex-
pediency, and standard establish-
ment are all involved in the neces-
sity for rules. Honor to uphold
rules cannot be portioned out for
some and left detached concerning
others. Restrictive regulations, for
example, limited social engage-
ments, are lessened as we become
accustomed to the larger commu-
nity and grow in our ability to
meet social situations and to main-
tain academic standards. These
regulations are actually for the
purpose of helping us mature
really and comprehensively.

I hope that we shall have grown
through this week set aside for us
to consider all together our
relationships in a community; that
we shall continue to seek answers

and continue to encounter and con-
sider questions; that we shall
reach a new high in love and
strength think wide, deep and
high

"Ideals are like stars; you will
not succeed in touching them with
your hands, but . . . you choose
them as your guides, and follow-
ing them, you reach your destiny."

talk on the purposes and meaning
of '61 Club. Last year's '60 Club
officers spoke to the freshmen
about the various committees in
the club.

Carolyn Mason discussed re-

ASC's New Foreign Student Prepares
For Army Service, Zoological Career

By Hazel-Thomas King

How would you like to have two years of Army duty confronting you after college gra-
duation? This is what Miriam Inbar, one of Agnes Scott's new foreign students, is looking
forward to when she returns to her homeland.

Having arrived here in Decatur several weeks ago from Tel- Aviv, Israel, Miriam finds
Atlanta and its points of interest not too unfamiliar since she had heard of them from her
father who lived here for four
months in 1952. Mr. Inbar, who is
a mechanical engineer in the Pub-
lic Works Department of Israel,
was at that time a representative
for President Eisenhower's Four
point Program. He visited Agnes
Scott and became interested in
having Miriam come as a student.

Besides her father who is now
employed in governmental work in
Israel, Miriam's family consists of
her mother and a 12-year-old
brother who is in the seventh grade
in the secondary school of Tel-
Aviv.

Miriam's home at Agnes Scott
is Rebekah Scott Hall, where she
lives on Second floor with .Lynn
Frederick. Her courses include
American history and literature,
genetics and art.

Colleges in Israeli

Prior to coming to Agnes Scott,
Miriam attended the University of
Tel-Aviv. She states that students
there have no choice in selecting
their courses. Upon entering they
choose their major subjects and
concentrate their studies entirely
in this direction. Much of her lib-
eral arts education was gained
while she was in secondary school,
which corresponds to our high
schools. Miriam went three years
to the University, where her major
subject was biology.

Boy-girl relationships begin
when the young people, at the age
of 13, become a part of the Youth
Movement, which is sponsored by
various political and work groups.
Here the boys and girls are super-
vised in their activities. During the
summer months they attend work
camps in the country in order that
they may learn better methods of
farming. The aim of such youth
groups, in addition to promoting
fellowship between the boys and
girls, is to direct the young people
to leave the city and live in the
country. Since Israel's major oc-
cupation is agriculture, there is a
greater need for an equilibrium
between the country and the city.
Thus, such youth groups have a
double purpose.

When the boys and girls of Israel

Noted Philosopher
To Talk in Maclean

On Thursday evening, October
24, Dr. Paul Weiss, Professor of
Philosophy of Yale University, will
lecture to the Agnes Scott com-
munity in MacLean Chapel.

A native New Yorker, Dr. Weiss
has taught in many of the famous
Eastern colleges, including Har-
vard, Bryn Mawr, and Radcliffe.

The speaker, a renowned scholar,
has studied under a coveted Gug-
genheim fellowship. He was the
recipient of a Rockefeller grant
enabling him to pursue his studies
in Israel and India. Dr. Weiss also
has taught at the Hebrew Univer-
sity in Jerusalem.

Dr. Weiss has not only taught,
but has also authored and co-
authored numerous books of philo-
sophical nature. Released in 1953
was his latest book entitled "Per-
sonal Moments of Discovery."

Agnes Scott, along with other
surrounding colleges, is a member
of the University Center Lecture
Series which brings Dr. Weiss to
our campus.

hoping to complete courses toward her B. Sc. degree from the Uni-
versity of Tel- Aviv.

reach the age of 16, they "pair
off," states Miriam. A girl going
to a party does not have to have
a date, as is the general custom
in our country. Instead, the young
people are invited individually.
With a sparkle in her dark eyes,
Miriam quickly added, "You aren't
stuck with the same boy the whole
evening!"

Marriageable Age
There are two age groups for
marriage. Some girls marry at 18
in order to be exempt from the re-
quired military duty in the Israel
Defense Army. Others serve their
two years and find their future
husbands either while they are in
the Army or after they are dis-
charged.

And what are Miriam's impres-
sions of Agnes Scott girls? She
was immediately attracted by their
friendliness and stated that this
quality did not exist just the first
day but has continued through the
weeks. "Girls are really very

friendly, helpful, and kind," says
Miriam.

Miriam is very enthusiastic
about our school. She likes the
close contact that teachers have
with students. What does she think
about Agnes Scott teachers? "You
can learn very much from them."

Miriam, when asked her impres-
sion of American food, replied,
"The material isn't different, but
the kinds of things you make are
different from ours."

When Miriam returns to Israel
in June, she will take two compre-
hensive examinations before re-
ceiving a B.Sc. degree in biology.
She plans to serve in the army for
two years and then perhaps work
in a zoological museum.

Federal Service Examinations
Available to Juniors, Seniors

To further improve its position in the competition for tal-
ented college people, the Federal Government is opening its
Federal-Service Entrance Examination this year to college
juniors in addition to seniors, college graduates and others of
equivalent experience, the Civil Service Commission an-
nounced recently.
Also, job appointments, effec- each year despite any overall re-
ductions in the Federal work force
that may occur at any one time.
Although turnover in Government
compares favorably with that of
private industry, its effect on the
large work force needed by mod-
ern government is such as to re-
quire that from 200,000 to 300,000
job appointments be made each
year. In addition, the increasing
complexity of many of the jobs
to be performed is requiring that
each year a greater number of
them be filled by college-caliber
people.

tive after graduation, may be of-
fered the juniors if they pass the
examination and their names be-
come available on the lists of
eligibles to be established. As in
the past, such job offers may also
be made to seniors.

The first Federal-Service En-
trance Examination to be held
since the change is scheduled for
November 16, the Commission
said. Subsequent examinations will
be held in January, February,
March, and May, 1958. Applicants
will have until October 31 to file
for the November 16 written test,
which will be given at approxi-
mately 1,000 examination points
throughout the country.

Government Jobs Obtainable

The examination, first given two
years ago, is designed to help fill
the Government's yearly need for
more young people of college-
caliber who can be placed in jobs
at the entrance level and who
have the potential to develop into
the top managers, technicians,
and specialists of the future. Po-
sitions filled through the exami-
nation are in almost every kind
of work. The Commission esti-
mates that during the next 12
months at least the same number
of entrance-level jobs, at salaries
rank-ing from $3,670 to $4,525 a
year, will be filled from the FSFE
lists of eligibles.

The Commission emphasized
that Government needs for col-
lege-caliber people are increasing

Personal book collections will be displayed in the library next May.

Louise McKinney Book Award
Accents Interest in Literature

A lead paragraph in the November 25, 1931 issue of the
"Agonistic" reads: "To that Agnes Scott student who best
lives during this year in her 'substantial world' of books, as
Wordsworth would say, by submitting for inspection the best
collection of books which she herself owns, intellectually and
physically, there will be given an

award of $50."

That was the initial announce-
ment of what has now become a
traditional occurence the annual
Louise McKinney Book Award of
$25 which is presented to the stu-
dent who, in the opinion of the
judges, acquires during the cur-
rent year from May to May the
most interesting and discriminat-
ing personal library and who re-
veals real understanding of her
books.

Miss Janef Preston, English
professor and chairman of the
Committee on the Louise McKin-
ney Book Award, this year an-
nounces again the conditions and
qualifications for an entrant in
the contest.

To be eligible for the award, a
collection must contain at least

fifteen books. These may be inex-
pensive editions or second-hand
books; it is expected, however,
that the collector will choose as a
foundation for a lasting library,
the best standard editions and well
made books in good condition. For
information concerning the best
inexpensive editions of standard
works, collectors might consult
librarians, faculty members, and
publishers. A collection may con-
tain gifts, but the whole collection
is expected to give evidence of the
collector's own initiative and dis-
criminating choice. In whatever
way books are acquired, they
should represent the owner's
tastes, either in several fields of
interest such as the sciences
(natural, physical, or social), fic-
tion, biography, philosophy, poe-
try, drama, history, art, or music
or in one special field.

A student interested in partic-
pating in the contest is advised

On Reading One's
Self to Sleep

Editor's Note: This guest edi-
torial was written by William
Cole James, editorial writer on
the "Atlanta Journal," to pro-
mote the second annual Book
Award.

If supper, as a quaint friend of
Dr. Samuel Johnson's considered
it, is "the turnpike through which
one must pass in order to get to
bed," a book may well be the
wicket by which one enters into
sleep. I was agreeably astonished,
the other day, to find so careful
a guide in things hygienic as the
Medical Correspondent of the
"Manchester Guardian" writing
tolerantly of the boon of reading
in bed. The slight eye-train which
it imposes is better than tossing
on a midnight pillow, and tends
happily to drowsiness. But he
warns that the light should never
be strong enough to illuminate the
room or to make a glare on the
page. "Two candles, a foot or two
from the book, are sufficient."
Candles! What other light, on sea
or land, is comparable to theirs
for mellow friendliness, as time
ticks away through a darkling
room and faint winds abroad rust-
le through the deepened stillness?
But, after all the book's the thing.
I've my own way of thinking (or
should I say, nodding?). Charles
Lamb is a paragon for this gentle
purpose. A mind that will not be

Book Award will judge each col-
lection which will be displayed in
the library in May, and each con-
testant will be interviewed in-
formally by the committee.

Announcement of the recipient
of the award will be made at Com-
mencement. The prize is given
with the hope that the winner
will use it for her own intellectual
enrichment: the purchase of new
books, concert and theatre tickets,
or music records.

The Louise McKinney Award
was established by faculty and
alumnae in honor of Miss Louise
McKinney, professor emeritus of
English at Agnes Scott who instill-
ed in many of her students the
love and appreciation of good
books.

Men View Pussy Cat Parade
As Felines Join In Celebration

By Corky Feagin

A popular pussy, Black Cat! From far, and wide came learned men
seeking this renowned feline ... Hey! Sounds good, doesn't it! At
any rate, the campus was swarming this weekend with "foreign" men.

Clemson probably had the strongest representation, for its fans
were Anita Sheldon, Liz Acree, Pat Ervin, Angelyn Alford, Barbara
Baldauf, Carol Pickens, Boog Smith. Davidson men came to see
Boogie Helm, Suzanne Hoskins, Suzi Bailey, and Nancy Batson.

Annette Teague, Sibley Robertson, Lisa Ambrose, and Mima Bruce
entertained their buddies from Wofford. Privileged characters (to be
at Agnes Scott) from P.C. paid their respects to Ann Corse, Mary
Wayne Crymes, and Betsy Shepley.

Miscellaneous men: From the Naval Air Station in Corpus Cluristi,
Texas, Dottie Cummings' man; Sally Meek, Vernon from Union Theo-
logical; Ann Blackshear's George; Suellen Beverly's Citadel fellow;
Fran Singleton's University of South Carolina grad; Jo Jarrell, La
Grange College; Ann Newsome, F.S.U.; Harriet Higgins, University of
Georgia; and Mary Jim Clark, Young Harris.

Other odd men: Annette Whipple had a Mercer grad; Ann Norton
was seen with a U.N.C. boy; and Celia Crook's Charlotte man was
here. Wardie Abernathy was visited by her new graduate of the
Naval Supply School in Athens.

Patti Forrest and Becky Wilson met "The Marvelous Mr. Penny-
packer" at the Community Playhouse; while Ethel DuRant, Nancy
Hughes, and Grace Lynn Ouzts traveled " Around the World" in three
hours via Todd-A O.

Traveling nearly two hundred fifty miles, Ginny Miller took a
guided tour of the Alabama campus.

For the past two weeks, Scotties have adorned the front page of
the "Technique" (Tech weekly). Kay Richards and Eleanor Lee are
forming an exclusive Photogenic Club.

After Black Cat, Sylvia Saxon, Ann Cobb, Jean Corbett, Jo Ann
Stokes, Persia Lewis, and Bugs Matthews celebrated the end of song
and skit practice at the TKE Sweater Hop.

Our Fair Ladies of the week include Karen Hammond, Laura
Westbrook, Kathy Brown, Jo Hester, Carolyn Reid, Jane Kraemer,
Carol Rogers, Nancy Kimmel, Barbara Harrison, Mary Clapp, Janet
Lamb, Eileen Graham, Martha Ann Williamson, and Suzanne Hara-
mons.

Although many people had it bad because of Black Cat (paper,
quizzes, dates), Suzie Ware, Laura Knake, Gretchen Elliot, and
Peyton Baber were at Wit's End by the time the weekend was over.

A few fraternity scatterings: Pat Gover, Raines Wakeford, Katherine
Hawkins, and Theresa Kindred are hereby accused of visiting the
Tech ATO's over the weekend. The Kappa Sigs were watched with
tender care by Alice Boykin, Mary Jo Hudgens; while Dolly Bates,
Marty Lair and Gayle Green proved indispensible to the Tech Chi
Phis' social life.

Two more "tired old seniors" added to the campus statistics.
Lavonne Nally gained a Wofford grad's Pi Kappa Phi pin for the
cause. Miss Sue Lile joined the ranks of the Nearly Marrieds with
a beautiful diamond.

Pep /?o//y, Bonfire Will Spark
Beginning of Hockey Season

By Pat Stewart and Nancy Duvall

A bonfire Thursday from 9:30 to 10:30 will signal the be-
ginning of the 1957 Agnes Scott hockey season. Sponsored by
the campus' over-all spirit committee, the bonfire will be
by the barbeque pit. The purpose of the bonfire is to en-
courage class spirit and to cement school spirit After indivi-
dual class cheers led by the class

cheer leaders, all classes will join
in a campus sing around the fire.

Friday at 4:00 the hockey sea-
son will open with the defending
champions, the seniors, taking on
the juniors, and the sophs chal-
lenging the freshmen. Miss Mc-
Kemie and Miss Boyce will serve
as umpires.

High Senior Spirit

Practices have been discouraged
by rain, but, according to Joan St.
Clair, sennr hockey manager, the
seniors have maintained their spir-
it and have had good a:tendance.
The freshman team has caused
furrows in the brows of the up-
perclassmen the players in the
yellow uniforms seem to know the
ropes. Good prospects include Bet-
sy Dalton, Gail Rowe, Mary Park
Cross, and Bunnie Henry.

The schedule of practices is as
follows: freshmen on Monday and
Wednesday at 5:00; the sophs on
Monday at 4:00 and Wednesday at
5:00; the juniors on Monday and
Wednesday at 4:00; and the se-
niors on Monday and Wednesday
at 5:00.

Tennis Singles

The Agnes Scott 1957 singles
tennis tournament is in full swing
with 30 girls participating. Susan
Shirley, A. A. tennis manager, an-
nounces that this year for the first
time the Vjarnament is divided
into two brackets beginners
and advanced players. Tills has
resulted in more students signing
up for the tournament and should
result in better matches.

The first rou^d must be played
by this afternoon and the tourna-
ment should end the first w-ek of
November.

Voluntary Curfew?
Debators Disagree

The first round of the Intra-club
Debate Tournament sponsored by
Pi Alpha Phi was held Tuesday,
October 8. "Resolved: That Agnes
Scott students should be given the
privilege of voluntary curfew" was
the topic chosen for this humorous
debate." Deene Spivey and Rosalyn
Warren presented the affirmative
argument while Laura Ann Knake
and Grace Woods composed the
negative team.

The affirmative contended that
Agnes Scott girls are mature
enough to enjoy this privilege and
that this would help prepare the
girls for the world they will enter
after graduation. Another argu-
ment presented by the affirmative
was that the present system en-
dangers the safety of Agnes Scott
girls because of the traffic jams
and mad rush around the Dean's
Office near time limit on the
week ends. The final affirmative
contention was that this new privi-
lege would actually result in girls
studying more because they could
study later and still have time for
a date.

The negative offered the follow-
ing main contentions. First, the
health, safety, and reputation of
Agnes Scott girls would be threat-
ened if there were no time limit.
Secondly, parents would never con-
sent to such a program. Finally,
the staff in the Dean's Office and
the night watchmen would be ov-
erworked under this new plan.

This tournament on humorous
debate topics will be in progress
for several more weeks, and the
campus community is invited to
attend any of the debates.

According to Martha the re-

but enthusiasm is expected to in-

"Support in the freshman class
has been outstanding and should

classes" said Martha. "As the need

will receive the necessary finan-

Investiture Day To Honor Seniors

Blackfriars Cast English
Actors For Czech Fantasy

By Sara Anne Carey

Blackfriars, the college dramatic group and the oldest club
on campus, will present as their next production, "The World
We Live In," written by Josef and Karel Capek, on Friday
evening, November 22. This "expressionistic fantasy" of the
1920's was first presented at the National Theater of Czecho-
slovakia in Prague and came to

New York in 1922, where it was
hailed as a great work by some
and rejected by others.

In this Czechoslovakian fantasy
a philosophical vagrant falls
asleep in' a forest and observes
"a curiously interesting analogy
between the lives of insects and
those of men." Beetles, ants, but-
terflies each group of insects
lives, loves, and dies in following
its course of life, meanwhile show-
ing a great similarity to human
ways. The beetles hoard; the
crickets become food for another
insect's young; the butterflies
dance and make love; the mili-
taristic ants battle one another,
satirizing dictators, generals, and
armies.

Exciting Challenge

Because of the demands of a
large cast, because of the use of
an abstract set and of special ef-
fects, and because of the particular
type of satire, the group finds this
one of the most stimulating plays
they have ever done, according to
Millie Lane, president of Black-
friars. She said that all participat-
ing are very, very excited about

this play and that "it enlists the
efforts and energies of the entire
group" since it requires a tremen-
dous cast of 39 characters.

In the role of the vagrant,
Blackfriars welcomes back Eng-
lish-born Peter Mettam, who ap-
peared in last spring's production,
"The Chalk Garden." English-born
Harry Begg, also in the cast of
"The Chalk Garden," will appear
in this new production. Regular
members of Blackfriars who are
in the cast of "The World We Live
In" include: Jean Slade, Ethel Du-

Seniors To Revert to Childhood
On Little Girls 7 Day November 1

In the early dawn of morn as
the sun settles in his perch over
the Agnes Scott campus, alarm
clocks beckon girls out of slumber,
and drowsy students, poorly co-
ordinated, attempt to get ready
for another day of school.

But beware all things and beings
that creep, crawl, slither, fly, or
roll. This universal pattern will be
violently distorted Friday, No-
vember 1.

Those of you who doubt the
powers of fountains of youth, Dr.
Jekyll drugs, and witch's brew to
recreate people will have the
chance to witness amazing altera-
tions of seniors on "Little Girls'
Day." Our eldest sisters, who set
such wonderful examples of con-
sideration, earnestness, and dili-
gence, will revert to their child-

hood before becoming invested as
seniors. They will wear size three
dresses, drag around dolls (or un-
derclassmen), wake underclassmen
up with loud squeals and yells, and
do anything else classified under
childlike behavior.

The entire student body may ob-
serve this kindergarten group at
play at 10:30 a.m. over TV Chan-
nel '69, Station WASC, operating
on 120 vocalcycles. The program,
"Scottie Land," will include five
skits: "The Long Stranger," "Cap-
tain Kiddio and His Pal, Sputnik,"
"Ratkerteers," "Mr. Gizzard," and
"Howdy Doody."

When these seniors break into
Never Never Land on Friday, un-
derclassmen, in spite of all, take
courage, be brave, and endure!

Israeli Philosopher
Speaks on Culture

Dr. Nathan Rotenstreich, well-
known Israeli philosopher, spoke
this morning in Convocation on
"The Culture of Israel Between
the West and Asia."

Born in Poland in 1914, he mi-
grated to Jerusalem at the age of
18 and immediately entered the
Hebrew University. Four years
later he received his Master's de-
gree in Philosophy, and also re-
ceived the Ahad Haam prize as a
distinguished graduate in that
field. Two years later he was
awarded his Ph.D.

Research In Philosophy

In 1944 Dr. Rotenstreich was
appointed Principal of the Youth
Aliyah Teachers College in Jeru-
salem and after serving in that
capacity for several years became
a Research Fellow in Philosophy
at the Hebrew University. The fol-
lowing year he came to the United
States, having received a fellow-
ship at the University of Chicago,
and wrote many articles for Am-
erican philosophic journals. His
forthcoming book, Between Past
and Present, An Essay on History,
will be published in 1958 by the
Yale University Press.

Dr. Rotenstreich returned to
Israel in 1952 to become a lecturer
at the Hebrew University and
three years later he was made
head of the Philosophy Depart-
ment. He also became Associate
Director of Undergraduate studies
at the university.

'61 Clubbers Hear
Talk on '600 and V

Yesterday at the weekly meet-
ing of the '61 Club, held in Wal-
ters Rec Room, the Christian
Association Cabinet was intro-
duced to the Club, and Miss Boney
gave a talk entitled "600 and 1."

The theme of Miss Boney's talk
was the uniqueness of every
freshman at Agnes Scott. She said
that every freshman is an indivi-
dual. Now for the first time, every
freshman has an opportunity to
discover who she really is because
she is no longer identified with
her family, high school position,
or with her. high school friends.

Miss Boney stressed the im-
portance of maintaining one's uni-
queness rather than conforming
to social pressure. Although every-
one is an individual a "one," she
is still a part of the whole com-
munity of Agnes Scott a part of
the other 600 students. Following
her talk, Miss Boney led a dis-
cussion centering around the
theme of her. talk.

The '61 Club decided to sponsor
a hot-dog sale soon.

Senior Sophistication

"Ring out the old ring in the new!" a familiar cry heard
across the land at midnight on New Year's Eve. People
everywhere prepare to greet a brand new year with fresh
and ambitious resolutions. A feeling of anticipation and re-
newed interest prevails as the old year dissolves and a new
one begins.

But December 31, New Year's Eve, is two months away
too early to begin to make resolutions and to turn over new
leaves. What could possibly be the significane of "ringing
in the new" to us now?

This Friday, to symbolize the last day of girlhood frivolity
before donning the caps of senior sophistication, the class
of 1958 will observe Little Girls' Day. Fun and "childishness"
shall be the order of the day before that aspect of youth-
fulness supposedly evolves into the seriousness and reponsi-
bility of "seniorhood" Investiture Day, Saturday, Novem-
ber 2.

With Investiture and the official title of Senior comes yie
"ringing in of the new." Perhaps there is no magical con-
version involved in that traditional investing ceremony, but
the idea of new and fresh opportunities is certainly evident
as one thinks of her position as a Senior. A Senior does have
new opportunities and responsibilities.

The most important responsibility of seniorhood evolves
from her relation to the remainder of the student body. One
hears the term "mighty senior." But to what extent is she
"mighty?" She is as mighty as the influence which she elicits
to those about her. And her influence is attitude.

As we march forward to receive our caps and gowns sym-
bols of seniority let it be with renewed vigor and fresh
energy for the ideals and traditions of Agnes Scott. A Senior's
responsibility lies first in that task. L.S.

Widened Horizons

Through a project more ambitious than that of Jules Verne
and more ingenious than that of Mike Todd, the Agnes Scott
community was recently treated to the latest in world tours.
By a marvel of planning, co-operation, organization and hard
work, United Nations Week was made memorable through
"Around the World in 7 Days."

Beginning Monday night with a comprehensive view of
our American neighbors the sights were gradually lifted on
Tuesday and Wednesday to take in the entire world. By
Thursday chapel, through the efforts of Pi Alpha Phi, the
outlook was extended into the stratosphere with a survey of
Sputnik and its consequences. Neglecting no phase of life
around the world, Friday brought a sample of international
music and a taste of foreign food. Completing the well-
coordinated program on Saturday were the elaborate dis-
plays on "International Avenue."

While this project was a source of pleasure and enjoyment,
it gained even greater worth from its educational values. For
the campus as a whole, however, its greatest benefits are
still to be realized if it can serve to stimulate a greater in-
terest in world affairs, not for one week, but throughout the
year. M.M.

Six Agnes Scott girls demonstrate unusual enthusiasm to see

4:00 a.m.

CampusGuest Witnesses Public
Demostration at Recent Lecture

By Sally Sanford

The other night I attended a lecture at Victoria Regina Col-
lege, a peaceful school untouched by the turmoil of the
world. The lecture was on Sputnik, the Russian satellite
whose electronic beeps have done what all the king's men and
the Republican party regarded by some as synonymous

could not do: have driven Faubus
off the front pages.

Intellectual Atmosphere

I arrived on the campus, and not
knowing where the lecture was to
take place, naively decided to see
where most of the girls were head-
ed and to follow them. I fell in
behind a large group of girls
dressed in identical ivy-league
skirts, white socks which appeared
to defy the law of gravity, and
flattering V.R. sweatshirts of an
undefined color. The building we
were entering was a small exquis-
ite example of ante-bellum archi-
tecture which I understood was
called the Pub. As I pushed my
way through the smoke I felt there
was not quite the atmosphere and
tone usually found at a lecture
and inquired where it might be.
Receiving directions, I finally set
out for Tresser Hall. The lecture
had already begun and I took the
only seat left, next to an excited-
looking man who held a large
briefcase.

The speaker was making the in-
teresting points that in three ways
the Sputnik outclasses our pro-
posed Vanguard satellite: in
weight, 184.3 pounds to our 22.5
pounds; orbit: the Soviet satellite
spirals around the earth in an
orbit that takes it over most of
the inhabited earth, while the
U.S.'s proposed orbit would be due
east from Florida, south of most of
Europe and the Soviet Union; and
in altitude: Sputnik ranges in alti-
tude from about 480 to 140 miles
above the earth against tbe U.S.
minimum of 300 miles. As the lec-
turer spoke, the man next to me
began muttering and occasionally
jabbing me in the ribs for empha-
sis, "He must be a Communist."
I coldly asked why he thought
this and he growled, "Anybody
who says the Russians have any-
thing better than us is a Commie."
I made no reply to this novel
statement.

Observations In Code

The lecturer went on that the
beeps from Sputnik, which vary in
length, frequency, and spacing,
probably are sending various ob-
servations of the upper atmosphere
in code. My neighbor jabbed me
and craftily whispered: "You know
that thing's going to shoot down
poisonous gamma rays on the whole
U.S., don't you?" I glared at him
and made no answer.

The lecturer was saying that the
rocket from which the satellite was
launched and the nose cone which
had dropped off when the satellite
had entered its orbit were all or-
biting around together. However,
the rocket was losing altitude, thus

speeding up, and would probably
burn out in a few weeks. At this
my neighbor became tremendously
excited and said he intended to
ask the speaker some questions.
He shouted why had Billy Gra-
ham been asked to speak at Vic-
toria Regina when everyone knew
he was a Baptist. This wholesale
departure from the subject of the
lecture unnerved everyone and
soon several people were shouting
at each other across the room
about predestination, the Team-
sters' Union, and the Tech-Au-
burn game. As I left, my neighbor
was waving petitions from his
briefcase urging people to stop
reading "Time" and "Life."

Walking outside, I looked up at
the star-filled sky, still hearing the
sound and fury of the lecture hall,
and thought of the first entry into
the race for space, the invisible
Sputnik, spiraling over us 15 times
every day, and about the im-
measurable effect it would have
on the world. Musing on the fu-
ture, I walked to my car and left
the peaceful campus of Victoria
Regina.

Chinese Student Flees Invading Reds,
Plans Return After Medical

By Caroline Dudley

During the turbulent years of World War II, a steady immigration into the interior of
China took place: families fled from the on rushing invasion of the Japanese forces. A few
short years after Japan's surrender in 1945, many of these same brave people were on the
move again, this time traveling away from central China southward, fleeing the Com-
munists who were rapidly over-running the country

On one of the boats bound for '
the United States from Shanghai
in 1950, were three passengers of
special interest: a small Chinese
boy, his mother, and his sister
Faith Chao, who is a member of
this year's freshman class. During
the long voyage over rough seas,
George, the young son, and Mrs.
Chao were afflicted with the very
common, but nevertheless terrible
"mal-de-mer;" Faith, undaunted,
took an instantaneous liking to
the Western food served aboard
and had gained eight pounds by
the time the ship docked in San
Francisco!

Ohio Relatives
Sadness at leaving father Chao
on Formosa was somewhat lessen-
ed by the reunion of these three
with Grace, who had arrived in
the United States several months
earlier with a friend of the family
from Hong Xong. The four travel-
ed to Ohio where they made their
home with an aunt and uncle.

In the meantime, Mr. Chao, a
prominent banker in China, had
traveled to Paris for an UNESCO
conference; because of illness, he
left France and came to New
York City for treatment at the
Medical Center; the doctors there
were unable to save his life. The
Chao family, who had come to
New York to be with him, decided
to remain there; in the city there
is a center for many Chinese
people with whom they had strong
ties.

Progressive Schooling

Faith received her early school-
ing in Shanghai at a Christian
school for boys and girls which "in-
tegrated Western and Eastern
cultures." The principal of this
unusual school traveled around the
world every few years, to study
the programs and the progress of
various schools in many countries.
Faith, with this background, did
well in the American schools, and
finished high school in New York
City.

Her decision to come to Agnes

Faith Chao

Scott was influenced of course by
older sister Grace who first heard
of the college through a retired
Chinese missionary friend whose
daughter had attended Agnes
Scott.

Need for Doctors

About plans after graduation
from college, Faith smilingly says,
"I dream to go to Johns Hopkins,"
to the medical school. Medicine,
she feels, is terribly needed in
China, as in all of Asia; that is
one of the main reasons why she
chose to be a doctor. Eventually
she and her famly will return to
China, after the younger brother
has received his education in this
country. Two older brothers who
hold Master's degrees from MIT
and Michigan, are now living on
Formosa.

As one would expect, Faith's
main interest is in science; pro-
jects such as studying the effect
of radiation on plants occupied
much of her time in high school.
Working in a hospital one sum:
mer helped convince Faith thai
medicine is the thing for her.

Faith replies very graciously to
any questions about China, naive
as they must often seem to her.

determining factor and young
people make their own choices.

The kimono is no longer in
style. High-necked dresses, with
the lo-o-ong split up the side are
worn by the modern Chinese wo-
man.

Chinese Dating Customs

Chaperones for dates are op-
tional the more liberal families
give their girls much freedom.
Chinese teenagers are more re-
served, however, than American
teenagers.

Tea is served all the time, on
every occasion.

The traditional New Year's cele-
bration is on of the most impres-
sive of the many colorful festivals.
As a child, Faith recalls being
dressed in a fine silk suit (jacket
and pants), her hair braided and
velvet flowers stuck in the braids;
she and her young friends were
given gifts of silver dollars from
the elders; and the children de-
lighted in the parade with its
traditional dragon, breathing fire.
This New Year's celebration is
equivalent to our own Christmas
festivities; the idea of Christmas
is not too wide-spread in China,
since Buddhism is the predomin-
ant religion, with Taoism quite
popular also.

Elaborate Birthdays

Birthdays are important
events for every Chinese, especial-
ly every tenth birthday.

Three Scott gals, Mary Jane Pfaff, Julia McNairy, and Nancy
Graves, flew up to Princeton for a snowy weekend. Go Tigers!

Not quite so far north, Wendy Boatwright, Babe McFadden, Celia
Crook, DeeDee Doan, and Ethel DuRant had the greatest time at
Big Thursday at Carolina.

Traveling west, Sallie McDonald, Harriet Moseley, and Jennie
Miller temporarily joined the ranks of the coeds at Alabama's Home-
coming, where Sallie was pinned by a Chi Phi.

Mason, Martha Lambeth, Nancy Hughes, .Linda Dancy, Ann Ashford,
Kay Fuller, Grace Mangum, Marsha Lear, Marcia Tobey, and Kay
Gwaltney were a few among the mightly throng who trekked to the
Emory gym.

Nancy Glass, Rosemary Roberts, Ellen McFarland, Pat Holmes,
Ruth Leroy, Margaret Lipham, Susannah Masten, and Millie Mc-
Cravey also listened to Joni James sing at the big dance Saturday
night. Still other dreamy eyed Hottentots that night were Nina
Marable, Sibley Robertson, Esther Thomas, Suzi Bailey, Peggy Jo
Wells, Kay Armitage, Peyton Baber, Mima Bruce, Wynn Hughes,

who attended the bonfire pep rally last Wednesday.

Freshmen, Seniors Win Again,
Will Tangle Friday to Break Tie

By Pat Stewart

Hockey season was welcomed
rousingly last Wednesday night by
an A.A.-sponsored bonfire pep
rally. Led by their respective cheer
leaders, each class cheering and
singing ran onto the hockey field
to celebrate the beginning of the
1957 hockey season.

Repeating their victories of last
week, the seniors and the fresh-
men were again A'ictorious Friday
in the second week of the hockey
season. The seniors defeated the
sophomores 1 to 0 and the fresh-
men triumphed over the juniors
3 to h

Many Fouls

In the opening game, the senior
and the sophomore teams both
demonstrated good coordination
and teamwork as the ball seesaw-
ed back and forth between them.
The offense of both teams was ex-
cellent with Barbara Specht lead-
ing the sophomores and Martha
Meyer supplying the spark to the
seniors in their attempts to reach
the opponent's goal. However, if
each team did not have the ball
stolen from them, they lost it due
to fouls.

A serious scoring threat by the
seniors was repulsed by Ruth Le-
roy, who saved the sophs with a
long hit that sent the ball far from
her goal. During this scoring
threat, sophomore goalie Laura
Parker was excellent at defense.
Senior Defense

With the ball again at midfield,
the duel for possession continued
with senior Judy Nash, outstand-
ing at defense, especially profi-
cient at stopping soph passes.

Then displaying beautiful team-
work, the seniors passed the ball
down to the sophomore goal and
Jo Sawyer drove in the ball to
place the seniors ahead 1 to 0.

The half ended with no further
scores and with the sophomores
unable to penetrate beyond the
seniors' 25-yard line.

The second half witnessed vi-

cious bullying as each team, show-
ing unbeatable spirit, attempted
to score. Val Edwards with long
drives led the sophs, only to be
stopped by the senior fullbacks
Tinkler and McDonald. Ruth Leroy
throughout the game was in good
form as again and again she pre-
vented the seniors from driving
the ball past her. The final bell
caught the sophs as again they
were threatening to score. Final
score: seniors 1, sophomores 0.

Possessing excellent and exper-
ienced players, the freshman team,
led by Betsy Dalton, romped over
the juniors 3 to 1. While the fresh-
men completely controlled the
first half, they were admittedly
outplayed at times in the last half.
Freshman Teamwork

The first half saw all the scor-
ing of the game. Led by Betsy Dal-
ton's beautiful passes and stick
work, the freshmen again and
again broke through the junior
line. The whole forward line of
the freshmen moved like a ma-
chine. Utilizing good teamwork,
they moved down to the juniors'
goal and Betsy scored with a flick

ASC Lower House

Lower House held a retreat at
Miss Scandrett's house on Octo-

and duties of Lower. House. Betsy
Lunz and Jane Law were elected
secretary and treasurer of Lower
House respectively at this retreat.

Wardie Abernathy, chairman of
Lower House, commented, "The
retreat was quite a success."

Hal Reeves, President of the
great South-East region of N.S.A.,
spoke at Agnes Scott to members
of Lower House on the purpose
and plans of N.S.A. on October 23.

At this meeting N.S.A. com-
mittees were assigned for the pur-
pose of collecting dues from other

with Dalton scoring each time.
Mary Parke Cross, Gayle Rowe,
Sue McCurdy, Bunny Henry, and
Nancy Stone were other freshmen
instrumental in keeping the juniors
thus far scoreless.

Junior Threat

In the last minute of the first
half, the valiant junior team be-
gan moving, driving down to the
freshman goal for Ruth Currie to
score. Immediately the juniors
again threatened to score, only to
be halted by the bell signaling the
end of the half.

Playing like a team possessed,
the juniors dominated most of the
last half. They scored only to have
it called back because the ball was
hit from beyond the circle. Patti
Forest was outstanding in her
team's effort, to score. The game
ended with the freshmen 3, the
juniors 1.

At these special celebrations,

for and rich gifts to the member
whose birthday is being celebrat-
ed. Chinese consider a oaby a
year old when he is born, so that
he gains a year on the American
child right from the start!

Of America, faith makes the
following observations: The Chin-
ese family is more of a unit, is
much closer, more closely knit,
compared with the American fam-
ily. Youngsters respect the elders!
"In general, the United States has
been good to me and I've enjoyed
staying here. I hope to combine
the good qualities of both coun-
tries and cultures.

Some day, Faith hopes, if the
Nationalist Government of China
continues to improve, there will
be a leader strong and wise
enough to free his countrymen
from the terrible yoke of Com-
munism.

What Makes Pop Corn Bop?

Popping corn contains water. When the water gets hot enough,
the kernel explodes. Result: popcorn.

We're not passing this information along as a public
service. Actually we're up to the same old game.

You see, popcorn makes most people thirsty.
Fortunately, when most people get thirsty
they hanker for the good taste of Coca-Cola.

Wouldn't you like some popcorn right now?
C'mon now, wouldn't you?

Agnes Scott girls play with children from the Negro Mission as they
participate in the Community Service Council's projects.

Council Supervises Work, Play;
Atlanta Underprivileged Profit

The Community Service Council, a part of Christian Asso-
ciation, functions as the organization on campus which helps
underprivileged children in the Atlanta area. It reaches the
children through the several service projects, the chairmen
of the groups forming the membership of the Council.

Last year the Council conducted '

a clothes drive on campus to col-
lect articles for distribution to the
various projects. They also com-
piled a song book and arranged
a game file. At present, Barbara
Varner, Assistant Chairman of
Service Council, is working on an
information book which contains
vital facts concerning the projects.
Freshman Visiting
This fall the Community Service
Council is sponsoring a Visit Week
which will begin on November 11.
At this time, freshmen are invited
to visit those projects which in-
terest them and in which they
think they might like to partici-
pate next winter quarter. Last
Monday, in class meeting, Pinky
McCall spoke to the freshmen
about the eight service projects.

The activities involved in work-
ing with these groups include play-
ing games, leading devotionals,
telling stories, singing and other,
related pastimes. The following

Boney and Mrs. Drucker) and how
to teach crafts and games.

Associations Unite
To Sponsor Frolics

"Fall Frolics," a day of festivi-
ties for the entire community, is
being planned for Saturday, Nov-
ember 16. Sponsored by Social
Council and Athletic Association,
there is to be entertainment both
that afternoon and night.

A jam session will be held in
the Hub Saturday afternoon from
3 to 5. Neal Montgomery's band
will provide the music for the in-
formal occasion.

That night there will be a dance
in the gymnasium from 8:30 to
12. Dress will be semi-formal and
.during the intermission there will
be refreshments and entertain-
ment in the recreation room in
Walters.

"Fall Frolics" is taking the
place of the dance formally spon-
sored by Cotillion Club and the
freshman square dance formally
sponsored by Athletic Association.
These two have combined in or-
der to have a bigger and better
affair.

The whole student body is in-
vited, but the day is in honor of
the freshman class. Tickets will
be $1.00 per couple, including both
the jam session and the dance.

Theologian Speaks
In Chapel Service

In Convocation this morning,
Dr. John A. Mackay, President
of Princeton Theological Semi-
nary, was welcomed as guest
speaker. Dr. Mackay is in Decatur
this week holding the annual
Smythe Lectures at Columbia

Seminary.

Dr. Mackay has been President
of Princeton Seminary and Pro-
fessor of Ecumenics there since
1936. He is President of the Inter-
national Missionary Council and
a member of the Central Com-
mittee of the World Council of
Churches.

Dorm House Councils Work
To Achieve Unity, Harmony

A term heard frequently in the last several weeks and for
many, a term which has had little meaning up to now is
that of "house council." What is the house council and what
place does it have in campus life?

Each dormitory has a council composed of the house presi-
dent, and sitting in as an advisory

body, members of Executive Com-
mittee and the senior residents
of the dorm. The cottage council
is made up of the house presidents
and Lower House members from
all the cottages.

As a part of the student govern-
ment organization, the house coun-
cil is the link within the dormi-
tory between tfre two branches of
student government, Executive
Committee and Lower House. It
is able to serve the individual
needs of the dorm where these
organizations cannot.

Within the dorm the main func-
tion of the house council is to
build a unity and harmony or "we-
ness" among those living there.
To this end, the council is divided
into committees such as social,
kitchen, housekeeping, and bulle-

tin board committees. The council
tries always to use people on these
committees who have no other
connection with student govern-
ment so as to bring them into
closer contact with student gov-
ernment.

As an example of the function
of the house council, last Wednes-
day night the cottage council
sponsored a progressive party
among the cottages. The purpose
of this party was to encourage the
girls living in each cottage to visit
those in the other cottages so as
to unite and harmonije the whole
group.

Each year Lower House allots
money from its treasury to each
house council with which to carry
out its plans.

Kimmel Announces Plans
For Spring Arts Festival

Definite plans for Agnes Scott's Fine Arts Festival can
now be announced according to Nancy Kimmel, student co-
chairman of the production. This festival, combining the re-
sources of Blackfriars, Dance Group, and May Day, as well
as those of the music, art, and writing departments, is
is scheduled for the weekend of '
April 17-19.

This consolidation of activities,
according to Nancy, will result in
a superior production showing the
best that Agnes Scott has to offer,
will relieve the crowded calendar
of activities for spring quarter,
and, through its three day empha-
sis, will point up the relatedness
among the various fields of the
arts.

Opening the festival at 8:00 p.m.
on Thursday, April 17, will be a
lecture, "The Holy Game," by
Miss May Sarton, novelist, poet,
and critic for "The New York
Times. ,, Friday morning's chapel
will feature a music program while
on Friday afternoon at 3:00 there
will be a discussion of the com-
bined Winter-Spring issue of the
Aurora. A writing panel composed
of Miss Sarton and Flannery
O'Connor, short story writer, will
discuss the entries selected for,
publication from those submitted
by students from Agnes Scott and
other nearby colleges.

At 8:30 on Friday night, Black-
friars, May Day, and Dance Group
will combine to produce "The
Tempest" in Presser Hall.

On Saturday morning an art
panel, composed of Lamar Dodd
of the University of Georgia, Mr.
Perrin of Georgia State College,
and Carolyn Becknell will discuss
the student work on exhibition
during the festival. This exhibit
will include all types of art work
submitted by students from the
area and will offer an opportunity
for buying and selling the works
on exhibit.

At 6:00 on Saturday there will
be a picnic for the entire campus
community and visiting alumnae,
while at 8:30 the festival will close
with a repeat performance of "The
Tempest."

Student-faculty co-chairmen for
the festival are Nancy Kimmel
and Miss Mary Virginia Allen.
Working closely with them is a
steering committee composed of
Miss Carrie Scandrett, Mr. C.
Benton Kline, Miss Ann Worthy
Johnson, Mary Hammond, secre-
tary, Patti Forrest, and Nancy
Edwards.

Serving as a co-ordinating com-
mittee for the project are the stu-
dent and faculty chairmen of the
individual committees: Art, Mary
Dunn and Miss Marie Huper; Mu-
sic, Sylvia Ray and Mr. Michael

The Best In Arts

To present a production which exhibits the very best ef-
forts and talent available from this campus is the primary
aim of the Fine Arts Festival being planned for the weekend
of April 17-19. To attain this goal, the talents and work of
each separate fine arts organization will be combined for
one large weekend in order to alleviate the rush and con-
sequent mediocre productions of each group performing on
separate dates.

It is hoped that the Festival will be something to which
outsiders will come anticipating greatness and having their
anticipations satisfied by the very best that Agnes Scott can
offer in the field of fine arts. It is hoped that the weekend
will be one to remember one of which we can boast with
pride.

Since last spring the overall planning committee has been
discussing and formulating plans for the Festival. Already,
a vast amount of time and energy has been elicited toward
its success. Numerous committees and individuals have be-
gun work on this large project.

But the work, time, and enthusiasm not of just a few, but
of the whole community is necessary for the complete success
of the weekend. Each individual must feel a sincere desire
to present Agnes Scott's best and consequently to give fullest
support and efforts to it. Apathy and half-hearted interest
of a few will spoil the enthusiasm and expectations of many.
Let's begin now to make our first Fine Arts Festival such a
success that it will become one of Agnes Scott's finest
traditions. L.S.

A Timely Topic

It is now, during the middle of the quarter, that we hear
over and over the frequently spoken statement, "I'm so far
behind in my school work that I'll never get caught up."
More than likely you heard someone saying it this very day.
And with such a complaint comes a wish for many more
hours in a day when we could get everything done.

In practically every case, however, it can be seen that not
having enough time is not the result of lack of hours, but
poor use of those hours that are available. So often we neglect
to realize how precious and important is every single minute
of our busy day. If we could have just 12 more hours added
to the 24, how much better would the situation be, we think.
But how many of us could truthfully say that we would use
them constructively? For some of us there would be that
much more time to waste, perhaps.

To think that more hours could be added is to think in
vain. So the question is asked, u Where can time be saved?"
There are numerous little things over which we busy our-
selves things that are at the time unnecessary and unim-
portant. Add up the minutes we spend in such irrelevant ac-
tivities and see how much more time we would have to do
the necessary and important things.

When you decide to "drop by" the Hub, do just that; don't
make a day of it. If you lie down to rest for a few minutes,
don't spend the entire afternoon under the covers. When you
go to the library to study, study. What time can be gained by
looking around the room to see what other students there
are doing?

Every minute to us is valuable. The conditions in which we
will find ourselves later depend upon how we spend the
hours available to us now. Time is irreplaceable. Use it
well. H.T.K.

Technical Study Pays Reds;
U.S. Sees Need to Revamp

By Nancy Duvall

The recent launching of Sputniks I and II has re-empha-
sized the deficiency in our educational system. Already the
United States has been concerned with the problems of edu-
cation too few schools and too few teachers. On top of this
comes the impact of these Sputniks. Now the nation is faced
with the fact that Russia is scien- school system ''The Golden Youth

npts

From the Dakota Student of the

University of North Dakota comes
this interesting lesson how to take
notes:

If the prof says:

"When Lafayette first came to
this country, he discovered Ameri-
ca, and Americans needed his help
if their cause was to survive, and
this he promptly supplied them."

You write:

"Lafayette discovered America."

If the prof says:

"Pages 7 through 15 are not re-
quired reading, but will prove to
be invaluable to you in prepara-
tion for the final exam."

You write:

"Omit pages 7 through 15."

If the prof says:

"Friday's class will probably be
the most important of the year
since we will have a general dis-
cussion of the main problems that
have come to our attention
throughout the last six weeks'
period. Attendance will not be
taken."

You write:

"No class Friday."

If the prof says:

"But we all know that the basic
concept is the application of equal-
ized pressure inside a reinforced

tifically on the same level or
perhaps ahead.

The cry has gone up that the
schools are at fault in failing to
train the required scientists and
technicians. Scientists and educa-
tors who have been begging for a
realization and an answer to
the problem are now heard. The
amazed audience now listens to
the frightening facts. In the United
States 53% of the high schools do
not teach physics; 50% do not
teach chemistry.

In his ten years of schooling,
the Russian high school graduate
takes five years of physics, four of
chemistry, and a great deal of
mathematics. There is no excep-
tion to this. The Russian student
can continue his education in col-
lege if he is interested, works
hard, and has the intelligence. No
capable student is deprived of ed-
ucation because of lack of funds.
The state pays for his education.
To add to this, he is exempt from
military service. Finally, he enjoys
the honor, prestige, and material
benefits that accompany being
among the scientifically elite. It
is no wonder that "Life Maga-
zine" (March 5, 1956) entitled its
pictorial essay on the Russian

of Communism."

Although the Russians do not
practice the democratic ideal of
allowing education for all (even
those who aren't interested) the
fact remains that the Russians are
no longer backward in their edu-
cational system. And this problem
of education extends to the race
for scientific manpower. What
must be done now that the Sput-
niks has revealed the situation and
have made real the conquest of
outer space?

To insure national safety, edu-
cation needs to enlarge and better
the program of scientific study.
This will offer security to the na-
tion and a lessening of internal
tension.

But this is only half the prob-
lem. The people must be educated
in order to analyze facts, to recog-
nize prejudice, and to appreciate
other cultures. In the field of gov-
ernment, we must find and de-
velop leaders and statesmen to
make the laws and keep the peace.

These Sputniks mean that the
nation must train the engineers
who will make possible the trip to
the moon and the men who will
make the interplanetary laws
governing outer space.

Concert to Feature Pennario;
'Pal Joey to Open Thursday

By Lil Hart

Again this week the Tower Theater will be the center of
much activity. This time it will be musical activity instead
of dramatic. Leonard Pennario, concert pianist, will make
his second appearance with the "Atlanta Symphony Orches-
tra on Thursday and Friday, November 7 and 8, at 8:30 p.m.
Mr. Pennario made his first ap-

pearance with the Atlanta sym-
phony in November of 1953. Since
then he has made several inter-
national concert tours and has be-
come one of the top recording ar-
tists of classical music. He will
play the Khachaturian Concerto
for piano and orchestra. His rec-
ording of this topped classical best
sellers last year. Henry Sopkin
will conduct the orchestra.

Jumping from a musical pre-
formance in which both music and
dram are combinde, we find "Pal
Joey." This, a Richard Rodgers
and Lorenz Hart show, opens to-
morrow, November 7 at the Rialto.

Rodgers and Hart wrote the mu-
sical version in the early 1940's.
It was taken from a series of ar-
ticles written by John O'Hara for
the New Yorker magazine about
an egotistical, roustabout night
club performer named Joey. Frank
Sinatra plays Joey and portray-
ing two of the women in his life
are Rita Hayvvorth and Kim No-
vac.

At the Peachtree Art theatre,
"Checkpoint" is playing, a su-

around the racing business, open-
ing today, November 6. The set-

revolves around three men: a
millionaire who owns a racing

an engineer who cannot be bought.
All three of these men are brought
together in a dramatic climax on

Mildred Ling:

Exotic Oriental Articles Bestow
Atmosphere to American Room

By Dian Smith

A soft, musical voice; shining dark eyes; black hair; and
high collared, straight dresses Mildred Ling brings a strik-
ing picture of oriental life to the Agnes Scott campus. Mildred
lives on second Rebekah and her room, like her, represents
an interesting combination of the Asian and the American
ways of life. A beautiful Chinese
picture painted on straws hangs
over her bed on which there is a
gay, definitely American, flowered
chintz spread; an elaborate ebony
jewelry box lined with brocaded
satin is perhaps one of the most
fascinating of her, Chinese ar-
ticles.

Mildred came to the United
States from Malaya, but her ori-
ginal home was in Shanghai,
China. After the Communist occu-
pation of China, Mildred's father,
who has a master's degree in hotel
management from the University
of Southern California, was offer-
ed a job in Hong Kong. Under the
pretense of paying him a three
month visit, Mildred, her mother,
her two younger sisters, and her
brother left Shanghi and almost
all their possessions. The next
year, 1951, the family moved
again, this time to Singapore on
the British colonial island of Ma-
laya.

English Classes

In Singapore Mildred attended
a Methodist Girls' School where
she studied nine subjects among
them English grammar, English
literature, history, math, art,
Chinese, and geography. It was
here that she began to learn Eng-
lish. However, Chinese was the
language used by all of her school
mates outside the English classes.

Mildred likes the sunny island
colony where she had orchids
growing in the back yard! The
customs of the people there are
somewhat different from those in
the United States. For one thing,
Mildred said, 'T had never heard
of the word 'dating' until I came
here!" In Malaya a group of young
people often get together for a
party, but there is no dating
not even double dating. Sometimes
boys and girls get a friend to pass
letters for them though. Mildred's
younger sister, who is fifteen,
writes her friends enjoy Elvis
Presley records and have Rock
'n' Roll parties!

It was through the influence of
one of her mother's friends that
Mildred chose to come to Agnes
Scott. Mrs. Ling has a master's
degree in journalism and worked
with the husband of an Agnes
Scott graduate, Peggy Lou Arm-
strong Dardin on the "China
Press" before her marriage. In
Singapore they met Mrs. Dardin

Miss Crenshaw will begin her
Thursday schedule by coaching
Miss Wilburn's class at noon and
will be on hand for the afternoon's
contests, juniors versus sophs and
freshmen versus seniors. Friday
is the final day of the clinic and
an hour will be spent once more
on stick work by all players fol-
lowed by the scheduled games of
the week, seniors playing juniors
and freshmen playing sophs. Miss
Crenshaw will have lunch and
supper during her stay with the
various teams and will speak in
Chapel on Friday.

once more and Mildred was per-
suaded to enter Agnes Scott.

This is Mildred's junior year at
Agnes Scott. She is a history and
political science major, and is tak-
ing three history courses, sociol-
ogy, and French. In addition to
her studies she enjoys playing the
piano, "especially Chopin," hoc-
key, badmitton, and collecting
novels.

During the summer Mildred
worked in a hospital in Birming-
ham and has not been home since
rshe left Singapore over two years
ago. This year she is very happy
because her brother Malcolm has
come to this country to attend
Cornell University.

When Mildred speaks of her
religion, it is with the joy of one
who has discovered something
very precious. In China her fam-
ily believed in ancestor worship.
After the Communists came, they
took over the school at which
Mildred was studying and taught
the students according to their
beliefs. Here she was taught the
religious theories which are a
part of Communism. However, in
Singapore, through the influence

of one of her teachers, Mildred be-
came a very devout Christian.

After she graduates from Agnes
Scott, Mildred wants to return to
Eastern Asia, maybe to Malaya,
and work in the field of Christian
Education.

Freshman Team Gets Top Spot
With Hockey Win Over Seniors

By Pat Stewart

In the most crucial game of the 1957 hockey season, the
freshmen on Friday triumphed over the Seniors 3 to 1. In
the second game, the evenly matched Sophomore and Junior
teams battled to a scoreless tie.

Keen excitement was evident in both players and spectators
of the freshman-senior game as

the two undefeated, untied teams
met. The beginning of the first
half saw the teams well matched
with the Freshmen's skill and well
thought out plays unable to over-
come the spirit and determination
of the senior team. The senior de-
fense, sparked by Carolyn Tink-
ler, proved equal to stopping the
hard attacks of the freshmen team
led by Betsy Dalton who again
demonstrated her skill as a player
and manager. The fired up seniors
threatened to score often and, fol-
lowing furious playing at the goal,
Jo Sawyer, scored to put the sen-
iors ahead 1 to 0.

Seniors Weaken

But Little Girls' Day began to
tell on the seniors as their de-
fense weakened. The freshmen
quickened the tempo of the game
as they attempted to retaliate.
Judy Nash was able to squelch
their first drive for the goal, but
the freshmen received a total of
three free hits right at the goal.
Capitalizing on this, Sue McCurdy,
with a half of a minute left in
the half, pushed the ball in the
goal to tie the game at 1 all.

The opening of the second half
saw fierce playing with each team
determined to score. There were
deep and frequent penetrations by
both teams. The seniors, having
gotten their second wind, again
and again threatened to score,
but the freshmen, aided by the ex-
cellent playing of goalie Nancy

Stone and the frantic playing of
the seniors, each time repelled
them.

The freshmen then quickly
drove down to the senior goal and
narrowly missed scoring. Then
after several criss-crossings of
the ball in front of the goal, Bun-
ny Henry pushed the ball across
to put the frosh ahead 2 to 1.

The determined Seniors led by
Joan St. Clair again attempted to
score but Betsy Dalton stole the
ball. Outrunning all opposition,
she singlehandedly drove the ball
down field and scored. Before such
energy and skill, the seniors col-
lapsed and no longer were a ser-
ious threat. The game ended with
the freshmen victorious 3 to 1.

The fired up junior team proved
an equal match for the Sopho-
mores in their scoreless game. The
game opened with fierce bullying,
but soon the juniors gained pos-
session of the ball and threatened
to score. However this was broken
up by Barbara Specht. Led by
Martha McCoy, the juniors im-
mediately attempted to score
again. Sophomore Ruth Le-
roy was excellent in moving the
ball away from her goal.

Dignified senior cheering section intently Watches a thrilling hockey
match.

A junior hit the ball out of
bounds in her attempt to prevent
the sophs from scoring. Hitting
it in, the sophomores fought
fiercely in the striking circle, at-
tempting to score. But the juniors
soon were able to move the ball
out. Time soon ran out with no
further scoring threates.

Spirited playing was demon-
strated by juniors Currie and

To Highlight Fall Frolics'

To the tune of "Autumn Leaves" and in a romantic atmos-

Agnes Scott girls and their dates will dance at the Athletic
Association Social Council sponsored function, Fall Frolics,
Saturday night, November 16.

Through the combined efforts
of the two big organizations, this
year one large weekend has been
planned to replace two smaller
functions formerly sponsored by
A.A. and Cotillion Club separately.
Instead of the annual square
dance and formal Cotillion dance
honoring freshmen, a semi-formal
dance and informal jazz concert
has been planned for the entire
school. Neal Montgomery's Combo
will entertain with a concert in
the Hub on Saturday afternoon
from 3:00 to 5:00 and will play
again for the dance in the gym
from 8:30 until 12:00 that evening.

'Witty, Sensitive Describes
Shakespearean Scholar Lyons

By Sara Anne Carey

Dr. Clifford P. Lyons, Shakespearean scholar and Pro-
fessor of English at the University of North Carolina, will
lecture on "Hamlet" next Tuesday evening, November 19,
in Gaines Chapel at 8:00 p.m. Professor Lyons is being
brought to Agnes Scott under the visiting scholar program
of the University Center in Geor-

Since 1946, Dr. Lyons has been
a member of the English depart-
ment at UNC and was head of the
department there from 1946-52.
From 1951 to 1954 he was dean of '
the College of Arts and Sciences.
He is the co-founder and associate
editor of the magazine, "E.L.H.,"
a journal of English literary his-
tory, as well as a member of the
editorial board of the magazine
"Studies in Philology."

Hopkins Hall had a gentleman guest last Wednesday night! Mr.
Guerry Stukes, dean emeritus of Agnes Scott, met and held hall
prayers for the seniors. Pictured with Mr. Stukes are Nancy

"Witty, sensitive, scholarly, dra-
matic, well-informed, kindly, ur-
bane reads poetry very well, too,"
are words of a member of the
Agnes Scott English department
summarizing the enthusiasm and
admiration of many of those who
have heard Professor Lyons lec-
ture on other occasions. Another
member of the department, Miss
Ellen Douglass Leyburn speaks of
him as "a very dynamic speaker"
who not only has some very inter-
esting ideas on Shakespeare but
also "has the power to communi-
cate them."

Professor Lyons received his
A.B. from Cornell College in Mt,
Vernon, Iowa, and his Ph.D. from
the Johns Hopkins University.
From his alma mater, Cornell Col-
lege, he has also received a doctor-
ate of literature.

In addition to his lecture at
Agnes Scott, Dr. Lyons will speak
on "King Lear" at Emory Univer-
sity on the evening of November
21 and will lecture at other insti-
tutions of the University Center
in Georgia during his four-day lec-
ture tour. He will end his visit
with a dinner meeting of the Uni-
versity Center English group.

Tech will entertain.

According to Jill Imray of the
Ticket Committee, tickets which
will include both the concert and
the dance will cost $1.00 and may
be secured from 3:00 to 5:00 each
afternoon through Friday in the
Hub.

Planning the activities of the
day are committees headed by co-
chairmen, one from each organ-
ization, A.A. and Social Council.
An over-all committee, the stand-
ing Dance Committee from Social
Council consisting of Eileen Gra-
ham and Nancy Aubrey, is co-or-
dinating the entire program. Com-
posing the other committees are:
Decorations, Runita McCurdy and
Eleanor Bradley; Publicity, Mary
Dunn and Archer Boswell; Tick-
ets, Jill Imray and Sally Meek;
Clean-up, Martha Davis and Mar-
tha Meyer; Refreshments, Kather-
ine Jo Freeman and Judy Nash;
and Dates, Ann Dodd.

When asked the purpose of the
dance weekend, Sara Margaret
Heard, president of Social Council,
and Martha Meyer, president of
Athletic Association, said: "Com-
bining the two smaller dances into
the one large function is an effort
to sponsor something better and
more enjoyable for the whole
school. Where the two former
events included only the fresh-
men, this has been planned to pro-
vide a social function for the entire
campus community."

Leaders All

"Oh yes, she will definitely get one of the major offices
when elections roll around." "That freshman will be a
leader I can tell!" How frequently we hear these remarks
and remarks similar to these when the freshmen arrive in the
fall. How typical it is to see or overhear a group of upper-
classmen enthusiastically examining each newcomer and pre-
dicting what her role on campus will be with regard to
leadership leadership in its concrete concept.

This year's freshmen are now in the process of electing
their class leaders. In doing so, probably many of those pre-
dicted as such will become officers. But, more often, a choice
will be made which is not based on one off-hand glance at
the outward appearance of an individual, or on the swift
first impression received from a dynamic personality, but on
the recognition of forceful inner qualities characteristic of
leadership which have been recognized in these first weeks
of personal contact. We congratulate those girls who have
exhibited these fine inner qualities and have been so greatly
honored by their class. They have been given the opportunity
to fulfill the responsibilities of leadership in tangible, con-
crete capacities.

But, how often do we stop at this point when speaking of
leadership. We consider leaders in terms of officers, repre-
sentatives, and other elected members, but we tend to forget
equally necessary leadership of less tangible capacities. We
forget the importance of leadership within social groups,
class discussions, and direct personal contacts. An enthusias-
tic spirit and a cooperative attitude is certainly an element
of leadership quite as important as our tangible offices. Those
inner qualities of leadership recognized in our elected officers
are as fully present in those not elected, and will exhibit
themselves slowly but strongly as personal contacts deepen.

Therefore, because we realize that there is more than
one aspect of leadership, with our congratulations to those
who will outwardly and tangibly lead during the year, we
wish to congratulate those who will quietly and unobtrusively
lead by their own personal influence. All will have that op-
portunity and responsibility for leadership. L.S.

Progress Report

"Visitors will not be received during school or study hours;
nor the visits of young men at any time." These clear-cut lines
concerning student social life were to be found among the
general rules in the 1892 Agnes Scott catalogue and were
as much in accord with the times as the annual fee of $110
for room and board.

In the intervening sixty-five years however, the times have
definitely changed; the value of the dollar has gone down
and costs have gone up. Even more revolutionary than these
economic developments have been the progressive changes
in the social regulations as proven by the latest step the
opening of the basement of Walters Hall to dates on Friday
nights.

Not only does this latest step help to fill the need for on-
campus social life, to relieve the shortage of parlors, and to
solve the chaperonage and double date problems of freshmen,
but it also serves as an indication of the school's progressive
outlook concerning the fulfillment of its oft-stated fourth
ideal. M.M.

Letter-Writing Guide Advises
Self-Expression, Local Coloy

By Mary Byrd

Unanswered letters are weighing on the consciences of six
hundred Agnes Scott students, who, it is rumored, owe a
total of four thousand letters. The Agues Scott News wishes
to help you relieve yourself of your share in this appalling
problem which is undermining morale and producing tensions

First, you may not need to

write those letters after all. Con-
sider carefully. Do you need
money from home? Do you wish
to remind Aunt Maude that Christ-
mas is coming and that you are
her niece? Are you arriving any-
where soon and needing to be
met? If you are the rare person
who can answer no to all these
questions, you may not need to
write to any of your relatives.
Furthermore, why write to your
friends immediately? Have you
ever ruminated upon the fact that
the sooner you write, the sooner
you will receive a letter, the soon-
er you will have to write again.
Consider and tremble.

Back Seat Necessary

It is essential that if you must
write, you give careful thought to
where and when to do so. Pick
your lecture carefully. A back
seat is necessary, but even when
your desk top is well out of
range of eagle eye look up at him
from time to time as if you were
drinking thirstily from the foun-
tain of knowledge. If you wish to
give local color to your letters we
suggest that you leave writing in
class to lesser mortals. Compose
your epistles in the Hub or in
the dormitory on Saturday night
and give a running commentary on
what is happening around you:
"The not-so-soft strains of a flute
duet are evident in the back-
ground . . . Here comes Bluet only
forty-five minutes late for her
date . . . One of the elementary ed-
ucation girls is tearing her hair
because just nobody knows the
words to 'The Three Little Kittens
Have Lost Their Mittens' . . ."

Picturesque Stationery

The tools with which you write
are of importance. You may be
able to find letter paper with so
many pictures on it that there is
little room for writing. This is a

f

Over at the U. of Georgia there
is a new punishment for the "un-
wise" boy who gets "pinned." He's
put in a casket and is given a
funeral with all the trimmings.
The casket is then taken to the
girl's dorm where she must kiss |
her "corpse" to bring him back to
life.

From "The Technique" comes
this little poem. This could be a
hint to all room-mates!

Who comforts me in moments of
despair?

Who runs fingers lightly through
my hair?

Who cooks my meals and darns my
hose?

Squeezes nose drops in my nose?
Who always has a word of praise?
Sets out my rubbers on rainy days?
Who scrubs my back when in a
shower?

And wakes me up at the proper
hour?

WTio helps keep me on the beam ?
And figures in my every dream?
I DO.

decided advantage. The colors that
you use reveal your character. We
suggest that the seniors, for in-
stance, write with purple paper
and purple ink to denote dignity
and age. If students write like cer-
tain members of the college com-
munity whom we refrain from
naming, they are advised to type
that is if they wish their letters
to be read by anyone who hasn't
taken hieroglyphics 257.

Be Yourself!

As far as what you put in your
letters is concerned, we can only
give you the rule, Be yourself. If
this is a nauseating suggestion,
your problem is solved before it
starts. Don't write. No one wants
to hear from you anyway. Why
not give your letters a touch of
suspense? Finish with the words,
"I must run now, something awful
just happened. Will write again."
This is not advisable, however, if
one is writing to parents and
doesn't want to receive visits or
phone calls. Be cheerful. If this
is difficult on the week when you
live from term paper to test to
term paper, buy a copy of "Post"
and cut out cartoons to send.

When you have finished your
letter, sign it, put it in the en-
velope, address it to the recipient,
and post it. If these rules seem
to be repeated unnecessarily at
an institution of higher learning,
take the word of the experts that
there are pitfalls all along the
way.

Try A Card!

If after these clear suggestions,
letter writing remains a burden,
try a card. There are now cards
for all occasions. You can find
very nasty ones for the people who
have not written to you for weeks.
We know. Our friends have gen-
erously mailed us a large collec-
tion. Try a gay and cheerful 'How
do you like things in your new
home?" card for the boy who has
j \st entered basic training at Fort
F rosty, North Dakota. Send your
Grandmother a Halloween card.
Don't ask us why. Just: send one.
It's quicker than writing.

Internationally Speaking

Syrians Mortgage
Future to Russians

By Carolyn Magruder

The Communist proposed tech-
nical and economic agreement
signed October 29 in Damascus in
a sense mortgaged Syria's whole
future to Russia. For through its
provisions Russia will lend Syria
an estimated 100 million dollars
at interest during the next seven
years. If implemented, as outlined,
the agreement will put Syria's
forthcoming economic develop-
ment into the hands of Russian
leaders, whose grip, one may be
sure, will be a continuing iron-
fisted one.

Russia well realizes Syria's im-
portance as a controller of the
major oil pipelines from Middle
Eastern fields to the Mediterran-
ean. Furthermore, whoever dom-
inates Syria simultaneously places
themselves in a strategic position
to move in on surrounding oil
countries in case of war. Obvious-
ly, the Communists are not blind
to the visible rewards as well as
to the less tangible advantages in
this area.

More disturbing to the West,
however, than even the Syrian
agreement itself is the fear that
this "brotherly love policy" can
and will pay off in another pro-
Communist way. For other Arab
states and adjacent underdeveloped
countries in general will be look-
ing on enviously as Russian en-
gineers and technologists lay the
seeds for future dams, power sta-
tions, roads and bridges they can-
not afford. Thus these countries,
especially in times of unrest and
discontent, might be likewise per-
suaded to let the Soviet Union act
as their "friend and benefactor."

For example, a recent Middle
East tentacle has already been put
out by Moscow into Yeman, where
Russian military and technical aid
has been given less attention by
the outside world, chiefly because
the country seems so remote and
unimportant. One wonders how
many other of these Communist
"feelers" are being extended, not
only into the Middle East, but into
Asia as well.

Many observers feel that the
current Syrian-Turkish war scare
which fizzled so ingloriously was
primarily a Russian device for
stirring up Western audiences
while the Communists moved
quietly and with apparent finality
towards this newest economic
agreement.

Kirk Tutors Professor in Iran,
Corresponds With ASC Junior

By Caroline Miller

Kathleen Kirk, a sophomore at Agnes Scott last year, is
spending this year in Tehran, Iran, with her mother and
father. Mr. Kirk, formerly a professor at Florida State Uni-
versity, is now serving in the United States Information
Service, a government agency for welfare and education.
It is in this capacity that the
Kirks will spend two years in
Teheran.

When Kathleen learned of her
family's decision to go to Iran, she
was confronted with the problem:
"Should I go to Iran for a year,
or should I stay with my studies
at Agnes Scott?" She finally de-
cided that the value of the year
abroad would be worth delaying
the completion of her education
here.

From her letters to Jan Fleming
we can see that Kathleen has not
regretted her decision. In one let-
ter she writes: "In Iran I have
much opportunity to pursue my
interests: art, music, and philoso-
phy. Almost as soon as I arrived
(June 9) I found there were mil-
lions of things just waiting for me
to do. The biggest thing, I guess,
is that the Iran-American Society
has asked me to teach this sum-
mer at the Iran-American School
here in Teheran. The courses in-
clude English grammar and oral
English, history, and social science.
I never realized how hard a lan-
guage English really is until now!

"I'm enjoying my contact with
the Iranian people so much. Most
of the folks I meet speak English,
thank goodness, and they are most
interesting."

Full-Time Teaching

Later Kathleen writes, "The
Iran-American Society has asked
me to stay on full-time for this
next year because my students
make good grades and so far the
office hasn't had any complaints
about me! Don't need to congratu-
late me, I'm about to pop my but-
tons as it is!"

Among her students are some
Iranian teachers. Two students
are the children of assistants to a
former prime minister was was
forcibly discharged during a re-
volt because he was "too friendly"
with the Communists. Another
student is a professor of engineer-
ing at the university. There are
also several army officers in her
classes. Kathleen says that the
officers are interested in agricul-
ture and she is trying to tell them
something about farming in Am-
erica.

She writes that she has been
keeping herself busy teaching six
days a week, three hours a day.
"The Iranians," she says, "are
very interested in our culture
along with the language. I had a
time getting them to catch on to
games like Simple Simon. By
singing "Clementine" every day

"I've had conversation teas ev-

rights, marriage, and representa-

"The Iranians think of America

to the States come back a little
unhappy.

"Next week I am going to Is-
tanbul and to Athens for a region-
al conference; upon my return I'm

Even with all these exciting ac-
tivities, Kathleen has not forgot-

Harvard Professor
Speaks on Achilles

Visiting 'the Agnes Scott cam-
pus today and making two talks
was Dr. Cedric H. Whitman,
brought to Atlanta by the Uni-
versity Center in Georgia.

In convocation Dr. Whitman
talked informally about classical
study. "Achilles and the Structure
of the Illiad" was the topic of his
speech given in Presser at 2:00
this afternoon.

Dr. Whitman is associate pro-
fessor of Greek and Latin at Har-
vard, from which he holds three
degrees. He has written a book
entitled Sophocles: A Study in
Homeric Humanism and is now
writing one on Homer.

This learned Greek and Latin
scholar will be lecturing at other
colleges in the Atlanta area and
members of the Agnes Scott com-
munity are invited to attend.

Second relay swimmers are on the mark for the 40-yard freestyle
race.

Judges Err in Medley Award;
Two-Way Split for First Place

The freshman and sophomore swimming teams battled to
a tie Wednesday night for the Agnes Scott swimming cham-
pionship in one of the closest and most exciting swimming
meets ever held at Agnes Scott. Both teams had a final
total of 50 points. The seniors placed next with 43 points.

The meet opened with a sopho

more victory in the 60-yard med-
ley relay. In the front crawl form
contest, freshmen Walker and Rob-
inson took first place. Senior Mac-
Conochie won the next contest
which was the 40-yard freestyle.
The first half of the meet closed
with juniors Jones and Henderson
placing first in the breaststroke
for form.

After the intermission, during
which the senior members of Dol-
phin Club presented "La Mer," the
competition grew more tense with
a difference of only two points at
this time between the first and
third-placed teams.

The freshmen, led by Davidson,
Chambers, Greene, and Dalton,
boosted their score by winning the
80-yard freestyle relay. To this
victory, they added McBride's and
Robinson's triumph in the back-
crawl for form.

After the amusing and tension-
relieving comic relay, the sopho-
mores bounced back into the run-
ning with sophomore Hoskins' vic-
tory in the diving contest.

With only one more event left
in the match, the score stood 44
for the freshmen, 40 for the sopho-
mores, and 35 for the seniors. The
remaining event, the individual
medley, thus would determine the
contest. This event was won by
sophomore Edwards, giving her
team a final total of 50 points,
and, due to a judge's error, the
freshman swimmer was awarded
second place, giving her team a
total of 52 points and the cham-
pionship.

Immediately following the meet,
Miss Boyce was informed by the
erring judge that the seniors, not
the freshmen, had finished in sec-
ond place in the last race. A re-
count of points showed that the

correction of this error would low-
er the freshmen's total points to
50 and that the meet was there-
fore a tie between the freshmen
and sophomores.

A managers meeting was called
for Thursday, and on Friday Miss
Boyce announced in chapel that
the correction had been made and
consequently the trophy was
awarded to both the sophomore
and freshman teams.

Senior Victory Boosts Spirit;
Sophs, Frosh Seesaw To Tie

By Nancy Duvall

Evidences of the hockey clinic were clearly visible Friday
afternoon as the seniors beat the juniors 4 to 0, and the
sophomores tied the freshmen 0 to 0.

The junior-senior game was comparatively slow, but char-
acterized with much up and down the field play. In the first
half, the seniors got off to a good

start as Jo Sawyer made the first
goal. Throughout the game Jo led
the offense as she dribbled and
flicked to pass the juniors.

Shirley McDonald played an ex-
cellent defensive game for the
seniors as she managed to stop
junior threats and send the ball
up to her forwards. Both teams
made use of flicks and scoops
learned during the clinic. Before
the half was over Nancy Edwards
substituted for the seniors and
made the second score.

In the second half the seniors
avenged the title "tired old sen-
iors," of last Friday by tallying
two more goals for a decisive 4-
to-0 game. Jo Sawyer repeated
her earlier feat as she scored
again. Joan St. Clair made the
final goal for the seniors.

In the more spirited sophomore-
freshman game, the two teams
came to a draw as the excited
stands viewed the game waiting
for the break-through. The first
half was a see-saw affair. The

sophomore forwards showed im-
provement in this game with fine
passing and dribbling, making one
very serious threat within a few-
feet of the frosh goal. However,
the frosh also had several good
opportunities for scoring the last
few minutes of the first half, tak-
ing three corners at the sophomore
goal.

Both teams tried valiantly to
score in the last half. The sopho-
mores were considerably streng-
thened by the defensive and pass-
ing work of Ruth Leroy. The ball
moved back and forth between the
sophomores and the freshmen. In
the last few minutes, the play was
concentrated at the freshman end.

ANNOUNCEMENT

A meeting of the entire staff
of the "Allies Scott News*' will
be held Wednesday night, No-
vember 13, in the living room of
Hopkins Hall at 9:30. Reports
will be heard from members of
the staff who attended the ACP
Convention.

However, the many fouls, in most
cases advancing, hurt the sopho-
more chances, as repeatedly they
lost the ball at the frosh circle.
Freshman Betsy Dalton would
break through the sophomore lines
and send the baD down the field;
the sophomores would send the
ball back. As time ran out the
sophs were again threatening at
the frosh goal.

Lower House Plans
Fire Drill Technique

With Soviet Sputniks zooming
overhead, Agnes Scott collegiates
have become increasingly cogniz-
ant of the need for security. In
this frame of mind, Lower House
heard an Atlanta representative
from the Civil Defense Adminis-
tration on Wednesday afternoon,
November 13.

In addition to the Civil Defense
representative, the chief of the
Decatur Fire Department and a
member of the Atlanta Depart-
ment talked on the prevention of
fire.

As a sequel to this meeting,
Lower House representatives dis-
cussed fire drills in house meet-
ings last night, November 19.

Lower House plans to stage fire
drills using the "block technique"
whereby some exits are impass-
able, which could very well hap-
pen in a real fire.

The campus-wide fire drills are
to be planned by a Lower House
committee composed of Betty
Cline, Suzanne Hoskins, and June
Connally.

No plans have evolved as yet
for Civil Defense drills. The rep-
resentative pointed out that in
case of enemy attack, the stu-
dents should seek shelter in the
basements of buildings.

Students To Become Insects
For 'The World We Live In

By Sara Anne Carey

When Blackfriars presents the fantasy, "The World We
Live In" written by Josef and Karel Capek, on Friday even-
ing at 8:00, it will mean the culmination of many weeks of
hard work which have been sparked by an unusually great
enthusiasm for the play. In the words of Blackfriars president,
Millie Lane, this particular play

has proved "a real challenge" for
the group to produce because it
is so unusual.

"The World We Live In" pre-
sents an analogy between the lives
of insects and those of men the
irony of birth and death. In the
play the insects make life seem
useless and cruel; yet the play
ends on a note of hope and of in-
sight into the meaning of life.
Authors' Inspiration

In their own comments on the
play, the Capeks wrote that they
got the motive for writing it from
reading J. H. Faber's works, "La
View des Insects" and "Souvenirs
Entomologiques," in 1919. The au-
thors said that, in reading these
two works, they noticed a strong
analogy between insects and hu-
man beings, "especially in regard
to the struggle for life, the cruel
cleverness of instinct, the care for
making its kind secure ... so that
it was impossible in pondering up-
on the insects, not to think of the
human race."

Inspiration for the play grew

out of the idea that one "could
present more subtly and more
completely the whole ritual of
human existence" through an an-
alogy to the ways of insects than
could be possible by using human
characters, as Millie puts it.

To portray all of the different
troupes of insects, a large cast of
39 people is needed. In addition
to Blackfriars members, English-
born Peter Mettam and Harry
Begg, both of whom appeared in
"The Chalk Garden" last spring,
will appear in the play. Miss Ro-
berta Winter of the Speech De-
partment, who is Blackfriars ad-
visor, is directing the work of the

Who's Who was initiated twenty-
three years ago with the idea of
creating one national basis of rec-
ognition for college students that
would be democratic and devoid
of dues. Students are selected on
the basis of scholarship, participa-
tion and leadership in academic
and extra-curricular activities,
citizenship and service to the
school, and promise of future use-
fulness.

Each school which submits
names is limited to a quota based
on the enrollment of the school.
This year Agnes Scott was allowed
to recognize eleven students. These
seniors were nominated by their
class and a final selection was
made by the Administrative Com-
mittee of the college.

European Historian
Visits Convocation

Today in Convocation the speak-
er was Dr. William N. Medlicott,
noted European historian. Dr.
Medlicott is Professor of Euro-
pean History at the London School
of Economics and Political Science
of the University of London.

While a student at the Univer-
sity College of London, Dr. Medli-
cott was a Gladstone Prizeman, a
Hester Rothschild Prizeman, and
at the University of London, a
Lindley Student. For two years
during 1931-32 Dr. Medlicott was
a visiting professor in History at
the University of Texas. From
1935-43 he was the official his-
torian of the Ministry of Economic
Warfare, and during the period
from 1946-52, Dr. Medlicott trav-
eled extensively through the Uni-
ted States doing research. He has
published numerous articles, re-
views, and books.

Dr. Medlicott is here as a Uni-
versity Center lecturer, and the
topic of his Convocation talk was
"The Monarchy in Politics." In
addition to speaking in Convoca-
tion, Dr. Medlicott is talking to
the current problems class on "The
Present Phase of British Policy in
the Middle East," and while in the
Atlanta area, he will speak to
audiences at Emory and Ogle-
thorpe.

'Normalcy Revoked?

With amazed and pleased expressions on their faces, girls
viewed the remarkable change in the appearance of the Hub
Saturday at the jam session. Remarks of utter astonishment
and excitement issued forth from all corners marveling at
the uniqueness of the Hub "looking so good."

And it did look good! A campaign spirited by Social Council
to make the Hub more attractive for Saturday was completely
successful. New curtains were made and hung. Pictures dec-
orated the walls. Cards were picked up off the floor. Ash trays
were emptied. A clean, home-like atmosphere was predomi-
nant.

But that was Saturday. Will we, before long, be back to
normal with playing cards strewn from one end of the
room to the other, ash trays piled high and overflowing,
ashes and paper littering the floor, chairs carelessly tossed
around, and soft drink bottles in every spare inch of space?

Or will we be inspired enough by Saturday's appearance
of the Hub not to "return to normal?" Saturday we did not
have to cringe with shame at the idea of taking a visitor to
the Hub. We could be at ease and proud of its appearance.
How much better that was than the embarrassment usually
experienced when, with a visitor, we have to sit in barbaric-
like conditions!

Just as Agnes Scott's Honor System is based on considera-
tion for others, so is this matter of keeping the Hub neat. It
belongs to every member of the campus and ought therefore,
out of thoughtfulness for other girls, to be kept presentable.
We are mature enough to understand that reasoning and to
want to do something about it. L.S.

Stamp Those Gripes!

A scene becoming more and more frequent on campus these
days is the small group of deeply absorbed, intense indivi-
duals, talking excitedly and gesticulating rather wildly at
times.

Personally, we think these discussions are wonderful; they
reflect the free-thinking, individualistic spirit that Agnes
Scott advocates. From some of these sessions there have
evolved many good ideas; some thought-provoking and just
criticisms on every subject from trade with the moon to our
very own life at Agnes Scott. However, the benefit of these
discussions, we feel, is limited to those few who participate
in them. We would like to request, even urge, that these
various and stimulating views be submitted as letters
to the editor for the benefit of the campus community at
large.

Pet peeves expressed repeatedly every day make wonderful
subjects for such expression. A letter published in the paper
about a particular gripe may relieve anxiety and also bring
unexpected results. Frankly, we are a little tired of the con-
tinued griping of a few who do not take advantage of the
opportunity for sounding off. All we ask is that each letter
be signed; the subject is optional. If requested, the signature
may be omitted from the paper.

The function of the "News" is to serve as a mirror of student
activities, ideas and opinions. Without the co-operation, in-
terest, and contributions of every student, our aim will never
be achieved. CD.

Job Hunters Seek Help From
Vocational Guidance Service

Something new has been added! A vocational guidance
center has been set up at Agnes Scott for the benefit of all
students. It will provide information, tests, and guidance in
choosing a vocation.

Room nine in Buttrick has recently been redecorated and
will serve as the vocational guid-

physical environments.

Dean Kline also is working on
this program and is in charge of
placement. All applications for
schoiai ships must go through him.
Studeris are urged to watch the
bulletixi hoards for announcements
of scholarship opportunities, job
openings, and general career in-
formation.

An open house will be held in
the new vocation room on Thurs-
day, November 21, from 9:00 to
5:15. Everyone is invited to come
by and see what has been made
available to assist in choosing a
vocation.

ance office. Miss lone Murphy,
who is in charge of this service,
will be in the office part of each
day, Monday through Friday. Her
exact office hours are to be an-
nounced in the near future.

Plans are now being made to
hold conferences with the seniors
so that they may discuss their
vocational plans and receive any
aid they may desire. Vocational
tests are to be given t- the entire
sophomore class this year.

Even though there are no spe-
cific plans for the freshmen and
juniors, Miss Murphy points out
that "choosing a career is a de-
velopmental process and everyone
should be thinking about job op-
portunities and the world of
work." Every student seeking in-
formation or advice is welcomed
at any time.

It is hoped that arrangements
can be made for career confer-
ences with representatives from
different vocational areas, and
also for trips to various institu-
tions and companies. This is for
the purpose of letting students
actually see jobs in their true

Task for Hercules
Confronts Premier

By Carolyn Magruder

France's political equilibrium
seems to have shakily established
itself once again after the harrow-
ing experience of a th.rty-seven-
day cabinet cri-
sis, the longest
of this type
since the end of
World War II.
Felix Gaillard,
a vigorous, intel-.
agent, thirty-
eight - year -old
radical finance
minister in the
last cabinet has been installed as
a new premier, amidst sighs of
relief from France and her allies.

Mr- Gaillard, however, faces a
Herculean task as he assumes his
new position, for two critical prob-
lems face France at this time: a
faltering financial system and the
long-disputed Algerian question.
Furthermore in tackling either or
both of these sore spots, M. Gail-
lard will run the "inevitable" risk
of offending either the Socialists
on the left or the Independents on
the right, thus destroying the good
will of an essential group ana
causing the French Humpty-
Dumpty government to topple
once again.

Americans' reactions to this
repetitious dilemma of the French
cabinet probably range anywhere
from tolerant smiles to rabid out-
bursts against the political mani-
festations of factionalism and
emotionalism in France, as com-
pared with the solid foundation of
"compromise and order" on which
our government theoretically op-
erates. "It's just the French tem-
perament," someone is sure to say,
or "no stability whatsoever." Or
perhaps, "the French are just not
suited for representative democ-
racy. What they need is a strong
central government, capable of
benevolently guiding the people
firmly and positively."

Such generalizations or their
equivalents are untrue condemna-
tions. For as Robert C. Doty of
"The New York Times" states:
"The leaders of both parties are
reasonable, intelligent, patriotic
men, perfectly capable of under-
standing French needs and sub-
ordinating party to national in-
terests. The tragedy is that both

Small But Important Decisions
Give Added Student Privileges

By Betty Cline

Progress is often such a slow and gradual process that we

fail to see any evidences of it at all. We are unaware of small

but important decisions that are constantly being made and

of the effort and time which is required to effect each one.

Several changes have been made in our rules and privileges

which deserve to be brought to . , .

girls living in the cottages to meet

their dates there provided they go
and return before time limit.

Several questions submitted by
Exec are now up before the Rules
Committee for, their consideration.
For example, under a present rul-
ing, when a girl dates after after-
noon time limit, she and her escort
must leave from and return to
Main. However, many girls meet
their dates in the Hub. Exec wants
to know if there is not a need for
a change in this particular case.
Many other questions will be de-
bated and decided in the months
to come.

Those people who give of their
time and effort to work in our
behalf deserve to be recognized
and appreciated for the job they
are doing.

the attention of the student body.
They reflect the work and
though tf ul in-
quiry which go
o n continually
and quietly in
our midst.

In order for a
rule or privilege
to be modified or
clarified, it must
be brought up in
Exec and sent
from there to the Rules Com-
mittee. This body is composed of
Exec members Jo Sawyer (Chair-
man), Julian Preble, Lila Mc-
Geachy and Mary Ann Henderson.
It is their responsibility to discuss
and evaluate the rules in question,
offering suggested changes where
they feel they are needed. Their
recommendations are sent to Miss
Scandrett and her committee for
their approval or rejection. If ac-
cepted, the new decision is then
put into effect by the Executive
Council.

Freshman Can Double

Concrete results of this proced-
ure can be seen in the privileges
which were recently accorded the
freshman class. For example:
freshmen and sophomores may
double date until 1:30 a.m. on cer-
tain occasions. Until this year,
freshmen were not allowed to
double date at all until after
Thanksgiving and also fresh-
men had to double date with
juniors or seniors if they were to
be out after twelve or twelve-
thirty. The decision which now
allows two freshmen to ride in a
car with a boy before afternoon
time limit was formerly withheld
until spring quarter. Also, prior
to this year, freshmen were not
allowed to ride to church with a
date or to single date to their hos-
tesses home before afternoon time
limit until winter quarter.

Campus Penalty Revised

The penalty for breaking a cam-
pus has been altered with a view
toward increasing the expediency
and effectiveness of this system.
Heretofore a campus became a
case after the person had accumu-
lated a nine day restriction con-
sisting of the campus plus the
penalty for breaking it. A student
who broke campus also had to
wait until Tuesday to begin mak-
ing up the extra days incurred
from the "break." According to
the ruling, a person can acquire
nine make up days, not including
the original campus, before it be-
comes a case. She can also begin
making up for a break the day
after it occurs. For example, if a
student breaks campus on Satur-
day, she can begin making it up
on Sunday and not have to wait
until Tuesday.

Dates In Walters

For the first time in the history
of the college, the Recreation
Room of Walters Dormitory is
open to students and their dates
on Friday nights. Another innova-
tion is the decision which permits

Exams To Welcome
Girls From Holiday

On Wednesday, November 27,
Scotties will be climbing into cars
and boarding busses, trains, and
planes to go home for Thanksgiv-
ing holidays. These holidays begin
after classes Wednesday and last
until 9:10 Monday morning, De-
cember 2.

Crowds have been gathering
about the exam schedules which
are posted on the bulletin board
in the mail room. Exams will be-
gin at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday,
December 11; and the last exam
is at 9:00 a.m. Wednesday, De-
cember 18. During exams the
dean's office staff will entertain
with informal teas in the Hub
after every afternoon exam. The
teas will be from 3:30 to 5:00.

Regulations concerning the pro-
cedure for having exam schedules
changed are posted on the bulletin
board in the mail room. Students
who feel that it is absolutely neces-
sary for them to make a change
are asked to consult these regula-
tions. No changes will be made
simply to lengthen Christmas va-
cation, which will begin after
one's last exam.

NOTICE

There wil be no "Agnes Scott
News" for the next two weeks
due to the Thanksgiving holi-
days. The next issue of the paper
will come out Wednesday, Dec-
ember 11.

Freshman Hunters
Will Make Friends

"Do you have high-buttoned
shoes?" "Nope." "How about a
pink and blue earring?" "Here's
one that may do. Here, take it."

If you live in Walters, you may
soon hear this conversation. The
sophomore class is sponsoring a
Scavenger Hunt in honor of the
freshmen on December 2 from
9:30-10:30 in Walters dormitory.
Each freshman must travel from
room to room hunting the articles
on her list. She will introduce her-
self to the occupants of each
room, tell them where her home
is, and then request the article
she -needs.

After getting all the articles on
her list, each freshman will then
go to Walters Recreation Room
for refreshments. The party is pri-
marily to honor the freshmen, to
allow freshmen and sophomores
to become better acquainted, and
to help the freshmen become fam-
iliar with dormitory life in Wal-
ters.

Dunstan Entertains
Spanish Club, Boys

The members of the Agnes Scott
Spanish Club were hostesses to
Spanish speaking students from
Georgia Tech on Tuesday night,
November 12.

Mrs. Dunstan, associate profes-
sor of Spanish, entertained the
group at her home with a spaghet-
ti supper. She was assisted by
Miss Harn, Miss Cilley, and Miss
Herbert, also of the Spanish de-
partment.

Much of the conversation was in
Spanish, and after dinner the boys,
who were from Mexico, Cuba,
Costa Rica, Columbia, Ecuador,
and Venezuela, presented an entire
program in Spanish. This included
the recitation of a poem, a talk
about the differences in our school
systems, and an introduction of
each boy. After the program there
was Spanish music and dancing.

Stranger Trapped Unawares
As Amazons Fight For Spoils

By Grace Robertson

On a sudden a gong clangs in the still, echoing hall and
reverberates from wall to wall. This is the signal for battle
that catches a stranger unawares.

As the echoes die in the morning air, another sound is
heard as of a herd of wild horses galloping across the plain
in fright from a group of hunters, | drowning swimmers or heads

Festival Committee
Schedules Try outs

Joint tryouts for the Arts Festi-
val production of "The Tempest"
will be held December 3 in the gym
from 4:30 to 6:00 for members of j
Dance Group and Blackfriars.

The tryout parts are: first three
speeches of Ariel after his en-
trance in Scene 2 of Act 1; the
part of Stephano is Scene 2 of
Act 2; the parts of Caliban and
Trinulo from Stephano's second
speech in Scene 2, Act 2.

All members interested are urg-
ed to memorize these parts and to
be present Tuesday. All other try-
outs will be held separately by
Dance Group and Blackfriars.

or as the sudden onrush of a swol-
len river when its ice-laden waters
burst through the dam, or as a
mob unleashed and angry, stirred
to murderous wrath by the fiery
words of as orator, surges through
a city to take vengeance on they
know not what.

Then from every direction,
through the once empty halls, up
stairs and down, a mass of Ama-
zons pours into a small bare room.
Pushing and calling, bent on their
goal they come crashing together.
And soon that room is filled with
writhing arms and contorted
bodies as each struggles against
all the others, unaware of whom
she opposes.

Grappling Females

As fish caught in a net and
dragged up on the shore struggle
each to break free from the en-
tangling cords and return how-
ever it can to the sea, thus they
turn and struggle, some to reach
one side and some to go to the
other, a crowd of desperate fe-
males, each determined to get her
mail. Each ignores, in the heat of
battle, the steel-sharp elbows driv-
en into her side, the feet that
trample hers as she tramples
others, and disdains alike the
courtesies due to friends and foes.

Surging on like a tide race up
to the wall with its myriad tiny
doors, hands groping upward like

ducked beneath the tide, each
feels for her own gray door, flings
it open, and reaches in. One's fing-
ers exploring find nothing, and
she sinks back in despair, defeat-
ed. Another encounters paper,
grasps it as if it were the fleeting
end of her life, and lifts a trium-
phant shout, "Hooray! I got a
letter!" And grasping her precious
trophy she retires in glory from
the field of battle.

So, as each reaches through
struggle her goal and wins or
loses, she wanders out of the press
of warriors, reading triumphantly
or dragging herself off in defeat.

A second gong, ending the time
of battle, sounds. The only things
left to remind one of battle are
a wastebasket littered with ads,
a trampled notebook in shreads on
the floor, and a few exhausted sur-
vivors examining their spoils. And
all is quiet again until the next
time the mail goes up.

Students To Travel
To UN Conference

The Thanksgiving vacation will
be an exciting one for Jean Clark,
Sue Lile, Carolyn Magruder, and
Sally Sanford. These girls will rep-
resent Agnes Scott College as
delegates to a special study con-
ference of the United Nations at
New York.

The girls look forward to a time
of fun and intense study of the
various organizations of the Uni-
ted Nations as well as fellowship
with other delegates from all over
the United States.

The entire study conference will
last from Thursday, November 28,
to Sunday, December 1. On the
way to New York on Wednesday,
November 27, our delegates will
have a short time of studying and
discussing the structure of the
United Nations, so that they will
be well acquainted with that or-
ganization.

The four-day conference will
focus attention on the functions
and work of the specialized organ-
izations of the United Nations. It
is hoped that the conference will
stimulate an awareness among the
American college students of the
problems and the accomplishments
of these specialized agencies of
the United Nations.

An attractive luncheon on Sat-
urday and a sightseeing tour of
New York City will be the added
features of the conference.

Manure Pile, Blades Of Grass Furnish
Challenging Problems For Blackfriars

By Sally Sanford

"Good grief, how do you get
blades of grass to grow on a cur-
tain?"

"Will somebody please get Mrs.
Carruth up here to show me how
to fix this cricket's lair?"

These seemingly incomprehen-
sible questions could be heard al-
most any afternoon in the base-
ment of Presser where the produc-
tion crew of Blackfriars has been
frantically working on next Fri-
day's production of "The World
We Live In."

This unusual "insect comedy"
has presented some unusual prob-
lems. Not only are huge blades of
grass needed for scenery, but also
a lair to be inhabited by two
crickets and a cave in which a
larval fly may be housed. Work-
ing on the scenery and props,
which include three feet long
leaves and a large simulated man-
ure pile, gives one somewhat the
same sensation of "The Invisible
Shrinking Man."

Chicken Wire Facsimile
The manure pile, mentioned
above, presented a problem. Ob-
viously, pure authenticity was not
wanted, but only a reasonable fac-
simile. The problem was solved by
wrapping strips of old canvas
around chicken wire which lent it
an eccentrically shapeless appear-
ance. This menacing-looking form
was then painted with brown
paint.

This problem solved, others soon
arose. One member of the props

committee, assigned to make a

what was wanted was a dead

decided not to make either one,
when someone casually mentioned,
"Oh, they're going to use a real
dead person for that."

One prop has a history behind
it. An army ant in the last act

considerable. It was discovered,
after calling all over Atlanta, that
fashionable ant-wear this year is
going to be work coveralls. An-
other costuming problem was how
to distinguish between male and
female butterfly wings. This deli-
cate problem was solved by using
pastel colors for the female but-
terflies and black for the males.
Atmospheric Music
Two other difficulties concerned
the publicity and music commit-
tees. After an extended artistic
and esthetic debate among the
publicity committee, the question
of the exact shape and number of
stylized green leaves on the post-
ers was decided. One of the most
startling and thrilling features of
the play is the music. After a
week of rehearsing to everything
from "Music to Catch Butterflies
By" to "Marching Songs of Nazi
Germany," the cast was glad to
hear approval of the butterfly,
ant, and beetle music from Miss
Winter.

The cast, after having had to
consult biology books and pictures
of insects, and to "go out and
study nature" to find how a bee-
tle moves or a butterfly makes
love, feels qualified to accept po-
sitions in the biology department
as instructors, lecturers, or even
insects. Any offers will be consid-
ered after Friday night.

Seniors, Freshmen To Tangle
On Friday for Hockey Trophy

By Pat Stewart and Nancy Duvall

Friday's hockey games were shades of November 8's games
as the still f ired-up sophomores fought the seniors to a score-
less tie, and the revenge-seeking juniors jumped back into
the tournament by tieing the Freshmen 2 to 2.

The opening of the senior-sophomore game saw the sophs
repeatedly squelching the seniors' '

drives. Following a long drive by
McDonald, the seniors closed in on
the sophomore goal in an attempt
to score but goalie Parker was
successful in defending her goal.
Then Ruth Leroy proved instru-
mental in shifting the ball back
to midfield from where the sophs
soon drove it down to the opposi-
tion's goal. They narrowly missed
scoring as fierce fighting ensued
in front of the goal.

Bullying from the 25-yard line
twice, the seniors struggled to
score but each time, after hard
fighting, their attempt was re-
pulsed. The half ended with no
score.

The second half was a repeat
of the first, but at a slower pace.
The possession of the ball alter-
nated between the sophomores
and the seniors with neither team
able to maintain possession for
long. With two minutes remaining
in the game, the most exciting
play of the half occurred as the
seniors almost scored. However,
this final attempt was unsuccess-
ful and the game ended scoreless.

Early in the first half Bunnie
Henry gave the frosh the lead as
she made the first goal. Betsy
Dalton made a long drive which
appeared to be another freshman
goal, but it was called back to
the 25-yard line.

The play went up and down the
field but more play was centered
in the junior half as they attempt-
ed to stop the frosh, with some
fine defensive plays. Pat Walker
made the second freshman goal to
put them ahead 2-0.

A few minutes after the open-
ing bully in the second half, Jorie
Muller scored for the juniors. The

juniors beat off a sustained at-
tack by the freshmen and Martha
McCoy took the ball down the
field. Junior Caroline Dudley, who
played an excellent game, scored
again for the juniors.

After this, with both teams
eager to break the tie, the play
was fast and furious. The fresh-
men almost succeeded in scoring
when Betsy Dalton broke free and
dribbled down the field with no
opposition but the junior goalie,
Carolyn Hazard, who skillfully
kept the ball out of the cage. The
juniors were threatening at the
freshman goal as the game ended.

Seniors Shoot Top
Score in Archery

By Pat Stewart

The 1957 Agnes Scott Archery
Tournament organized to be of
special interest to spectators was
a success Tuesday, November 12,
despite the bitter, cold and over-
cast sky. The senior feam won the
school championship.

The tournament consisted of
two parts form and competition
shooting. First there was a de-
monstration by the class teams of
form shooting with the teams
spaced on the 20, 30, 40, and 50
yard lines shooting in unison, Mrs.
Lapp directing them.

Then came the shooting of four
ends from the 30 yard line. Scores
were recorded in this part in order
to determine the champion class.
Led by A. A. archery manager Caro
McDonald's high score of 141, the
seniors edged out the sophomore
team by the score of 307 to 296.
The freshmen placed third with a
total score of 291.

Atlanta Schools Unite To Face
College Preparation Problem

By Jane Law

From the eleventh grade of high school through the sopho-
more year of college, students are developing a basic founda-
tion for a high form of education. Today's educators realize
a need for the enrichment of curricula of these students and
for bridging the gap between high school and college learning.

Here in Atlanta, schools have
come together to consider this
problem and to find means of solv-
ing it. They are Agnes Scott Col-
lege, Oglethorpe University,
Emory University, Westminster
Schools, and the public schools.
Dr. Edward McNair is the direc-
tor of this Atlanta Experiment in
Articulation and Enrichment in
School and College.

Historical Association Elects
Posey President For 1957-58

Dr. Walter B. Posey, the genial professor who wears pastel
shirts and looks as if he is thinking of a private joke, has
recently been elected president of the Southern Historical
Assocation, which held its annual convention in Houston,
Texas. Dr. Posey, who is chairman of the Agnes Scott Depart-
ment of History and Political Sci-

ence, was a member of a group
of fifteen who founded the asso-
ciation in Atlanta in 1934.

Since then he has been active in
its work by serving at various
times as a member of its execu-
tive committee and on the Board
of Editors of its journal, "The
Journal of Southern History." He
served in 1956-57 as vice-president
of the association, and his present
term as president will run through
1958.

The association will hold its con-
vention in Nashville, Tennesee,
next year. At that time Dr. Posey
plans to make his presidential ad-
dress on some aspect of religion
in the early Mississippi Valley.

The Baptist Church in the Low-
er Mississippi Valley is the title of
Dr. Posey's latest book, which was
released on December 5. Its pub-
lication by the University of Ken-
tucky Press was partly subsidized
by the Ford Foundation.

Dr. Posey's earlier works in-
clude Methodism in the Old South-
west; The Presbyterian Church in
the Old Southwest, approximately
twenty-five articles on various as-
pects of the history of the South,
and contributions to the two-vol-
ume work, Travels in the Old
South, which was written in col-
laboration with six other histor-
ians. Travels in the Old South rep-

resents Dr. Posey's interest in
travel literature, which is slightly
different from historical writing.

There will be a review of The
Bup list Church in the Lower Mis-
sissippi Valley in the "Agnes Scott
News" after Christmas.

College Presidents
Will Meet Tuesday

On December 16. in the private
dining room of the dining hall, Dr.
Alston will be host at dinner to
the presidents of the institutions
that comprise the University Cen-
ter in Georgia.

For 20 years the University Cen-
ter has played an indispensable
part in higher education in the
state. It has brought visiting schol-
ars to the state, and has cooperat-
ed in research programs and de-
partmental conferences among the
member schools.

In addition to the presidents of
Emory, Georgia Tech, the Univer-
sity of Georgia, Oglethorpe, the
Atlanta Art Association, and Co-
lumbia Theological Seminary, Dr.
Horace Montgomery, from the
University of Georgia, executive
secretary of the University Cen-
ter, and Harmon Caldwell, chan-
cellor of the University of Georgia,
will be guests at dinner.

Critic Proclaims 'Fifth Grader 7
Performance Rousing Success

With enraptured expressions and delighted rounds of
applause, an audience of "children" sat engrossed in the tale
of "Hansel and Gretel," presented by "Miss Hagopian's 5th
Grade." Listening to "Susie, Little Susie" and many other
familiar songs from that operetta, the audience appeared
completely entertained as they
watched the "5th grade children"
bring to life in colorful fashion
that favorite childhood fantasy.

Candy-cane programs given out
at the door of McLean Auditorium
by the "ushers" intensified the
excitement and eager anticipation
already prevalent. A real candy
house brought squeals of delight
not only from Sara Gretel Heard,
and Nancy Hansel Holland, but
also from the "children" in the
audience. Witch Caroline Miller
terrified the children with her
threats, but Hansel and Gretel
brought cheers when they gleeful-
ly pushed the old witch into the
oven.

Numerous songs, colorful cos-
tumes, and authentic looking sets
gave the operetta a professional
air while the young actresses dis-
played excellent control of and
real insight into their various
roles. From the reaction of the
audience the performance could
certainly be judged a success!

Marionette Theatre
To Bring 'Dr. Faust'

Now making its first tour of
America, the Marionette Theatre
of Braunschweig, under the direc-
tion of Harro Siegel, will give a
performance here in Gaines Chapel
on January 8. The company will
present a puppet play of the 16th
Century, "Dr. Faust," and also
acts by individual puppets such as
"Boko, the Grey Bear," "Forget-
me-not, the Miraculous* Horse"
(Riding Master: Spitzen-spatzan-
spotz), and "Professor Franz Fer-
dinand Kniebohrer, the world fa-
mous maestro of the piano."

At the Edinburgh Festival in
1956, the Braunschweig Marion-
ettes were accorded top honors.
Since the company's debut in 1928,
audiences have praised its "en-
chanting" performances until to-
day it holds the reputation as "the
foremost marionette theatre on
the Continent." According to the
"Frankfort Allegemeine Zeitung"
(West Germany), this puppet the-
atre exemplifies "the spirit of Dis-
ney translated from organic to
mechanical life." Journals on the
Continent arid in England praise
the company for its "charming"
performances. "Audiences through-
out Europe have been moved to
smiles and tears by this 'magic on
the diminutive stage'."

The company will bring its own
22-foot stage, and all other equip-
ment. It is being sponsored on
campus by Lecture Association.

Pi Alpha Phi Plans
Debate Tournament

Once again the Agnes Scott
campus will be host to schools
from neighboring Southern states
as Pi Alpha Phi sponsors the
eleventh 'annual All-Southern In-
tercollegiate Debate Tournament.
On January 10 and 11 approxim-
ately fifteen teams will gather to
debate the question "Resolved:
The requirement of membership
in a labor organization as a con-
dition for employment should be
illegal."

Each college will have two
teams, an affirmative and a nega-
tive. The debating will take place
in five rounds Friday at 2:00
p.m., 3:00 p.m., and 7:30 p.m.; and

The Glee Club practices for its Christmas carol service to be pre-
sented Sunday evening.

Concert To Feature Harp;
Party To Follow Program

By Betty Cline

The Glee Club will welcome the Christmas season in song
Sunday evening, December 15, at their annual Christmas
Carol Service. The program, to begin at 7:30 p.m., will be held
in Gaines Chapel under the direction of Miss Roxie Hagopian.

Following an organ prelude by Mr. Raymond Martin,
the Glee Club will process into

the auditorium singing "O Come
All Ye Faithful." The program
will open with a Latin anthem en-
titled "O Magnum Mysterium"
translated "O Wondrous Nativity."
Their next selection, "Christmas
Carol," was written by an Atlanta
composer, Joseph Lee Edwards,
who will be here to hear his work
performed. A member of the
freshman class, Caroline Ryman,
will take the solo part in a mod-
ern piece entitled "On A Pallet of
Straw." The words for this song
were written by Langston Hughes,
a well-known American writer,
and the musical arrangement was
done by Jan Meyerowitz.

F. Flaxington Harker composed
the music for "In Excelsis Deo,"
the words of which come from an
ancient text dating from 1500 A.D.
The first half of the program will
conclude with a piece entitled "Lo,
the Messiah!" by Mario Castel-
nuovo-Tedesco.

College Schedules
Employee Luncheon

All college employees will be
feted at four informal luncheons
on Wednesday, December 18. The
dining hall help will be entertain-
ed in the dining hall while, at the
same time, the maids in the dorms,
But trick, the library, and the gym
will be entertained in Rebekah.
Also, the yard and laundry staffs
will be entertained at luncheons
on the same day.

A special Christmas menu is
being planned, and each guest
will be presented with a small gift
from the entire campus commu-
nity in appreciation for their serv-
ices.

Every four years these lunch-
eons are replaced with a large
banquet for all the college em-
ployees one night before Christ-
mas. The luncheons, however, are
more informal.

The audience will then be invit-
ed to join the Glee Club in singing
some traditional Christmas carols,
among them "Hark the Herald An-
gels Sing" and "Silent Night, Holy
Night."

Benjamin Brit ton's "A Cere-
mony of Carols" will be performed
by the group for the last half of
the program. This large choral
work consists mainly of anony-
mous Old English poems set to
music by Mr. Brit ton, one of Eng-
land's greatest living composers.
The only accompaniment designat-
ed for this work is the harp which
will be played by Mr. William A.
Calder.

Several of the selections in "A
Ceremony of Carols" have solo
parts. They are "That Yonge
Child," with soloist Anne Corse;
"Balulalow," with soloist Gertrude
Florrid; and "A Spring Carol,"
with soloists Sissy Daniel and
Rose Marie Regero. Other pieces
are "Hodie Christus Nat us Est,"
"There Is No Rose," "As Dew in
Aprille," "This Little Babe," and
"Deo Gracias."

A community Christmas party
will follow the Glee Club concert
in the Recreation Hall of Walters.
Everyone is encouraged to come,
bring dates, and partake of Christ-
mas cheer, refreshments, and carol
singing by an open fire.

Dh Panic!

Lti fall quarter exams beginning today the very first
coJL^ .. ex^ms for the freshman class it is inevitable that
thei t >e an editorial pertaining to that subject. For there is
hara.; i event during a person's college career which is
more ki ersally trying and dreaded than that first exam
period. jrefore, this editorial is addressed primarily to the
freshi: ... class with hope that a more accurate and realistic
slant c - be convey.ed concerning these things called exams.

Too oft -n quarter examinations have become so magnified
by the new student that all sense of perspective has been lost
in app n hing them. They loom ahead as terrifying events
who.' on y virtue is to determine passing, failing, or "in-el."
With such empahasis on the exam, the course itself loses its
value. Fhe object becomes not to assimilate and benefit from
all of >e knowledge that the course can offer, but to "only
get through that exam!"

Bepaese of this loss of perspective, panic sets in and ration-
ed ; is lest. Inevitably, distressing situations arise which, with
c. toer and more mature attitudes, would never have existed.

Therefore, it behooves the college freshman and the senior
as v. ; o look again at examinations and in a realistic way
deterj ine their actual place in the academic world. Look at
them uS an opportunity to gather together loose ends, to
( rgai o : nd tie together all the knowledge gained during
the qusirter. Look at exams as an aid academically not as
an obstacle to education.

V T i ; th.'.s more reasonable attitude, we ought to be able to
f ee e ;ams sensibly and as a challenge. Panic has no place
i. exams are considered in this realistic manner. L.S.

To Feel The Spirit

Amid the stress of the exam period many of us tend to
forget the significance of the Christmas season. We spend
oih i ccxuus hours studying frantically, trying either to pull
up or : grade or pass another course. We know that when the
f<nai exam day comes, we can pack our suitcases and leave.
Being 1 ome for the holidays is a long-awaited event, and a
relief from school. With a great sigh we settle our weary
se i 6 .:lo a chair or bed, realizing that the quarter's work
IS r lied and that we have fifteen days to sleep and do as
wc please.

But how many of us can expect to feel the true spirit
C Christmas that way? For it is not something that merely
domes to us as we sit passing the time nonchalantly. Neither
is it someihing that descends upon us while we rush around
in a department store doing the last minute Christmas
shopping,

To feel the Spirit of Christmas is to experience something
more than what has been mentioned. It is something deeper.
First V e must rejoice in thinking about what God has done
for US Lhrcrugh Christmas, realizing His love in giving us the
S viour. For the promise of eternal life comes not as a result
of lIk things we do in order to rate high in God's sight, but
as a result of what He has done for us.

After we have realized His love and the culmination of it
in the gift of Jesus, we shall be able to transmit it to those
arouild US. The Spirit of Christmas is the Spirit of Christ.
If this Spirit dwells within us, we must not keep it for our-
selves < rily; it must be shared with others. H.T.K.

Girls Join In Grady Project;
Judges Will Award Ribbons

Stars, snow flakes, balls, and angels have called Agnes
Scott girls away from their studies and into the spirit of
Christmas. Students in all four classes will share Christmas
with patients at Grady Hospital through the tree decorations
that they are making.

Mrs. Lewis Sams of Atlanta
asked our student body to partici-
pate in this project of providing
ornaments for Christmas trees for
people in the hospital. Each class
is responsible for two trees, mak-
ing a total of eight from Agnes
Scott.

Fhia Peppas is chairman of the
project on our campus, and two,
students are co-chairmen with
each class. They are Paula Bag-
well and Kathy Flory, senior;

Celeste Clanton and Ruth Currie,
junior; Mary Grace Palmour and
Janice Powell, sophomore; Nancy
Batson and Sarah Kelso, fresh-
man. The juniors completed all of
their decorations at a Christmas
party, but the other classes are
still creating theirs.

The trees will be decorated by
the day students December, 20. A
panel of judges from Grady will
award ribbons for the best decora-
tions.

After Seven

Christmas Stocking Abounds
With Holiday Entertainment

By Lil Hart

To brighten those examination blues, Atlanta is filled like
a Christmas stocking with wonderful surprises. Denise Darcel
is starring in Cole Porter's exciting musical comedy, "Can-
Can," which opened Monday, December 9, at the Tower
Theater. This musical will have a six day run ending Saturday
night.

Hart

The next brightly wrapped pack-
age of entertainment is the mark-
ing of the 20th
anniversary o f
Thornton Wilder's
Pulitzer Prize-
winning play,
"Our Town." Op-
ening Tuesday,
December 10, at
the Atlanta Com-
m u n i t y Play-
house, at 1150
Peachtree Street,
this drama of the
small town of
Grover's Corners will run through
Saturday, December 14. The two
young lovers, Emily and George,
are played by Jean Middlebrooks
and Edward Pilley. Supporting
them are Harriet Bond, Julia Wil-
liams, Jim Vandiver Jr., and Joe
Jemison, as parents.

The next gaily-decorated ob-
jects will please movie goers. A
spicy comedy opened Sunday, De-
cember 8, at the Peachtree Art
"An Alligator Named Daisey," a
British-made film, features Diana
Dors, Donald Sinden, James Rob-
ertson Justice, and Jeannie Car-
son. The title reveals much about
the movie how an alligator nam-
ed Daisey complicated the love
life of Sinden.

The Rialto's lights glow with
the movie, "The Story of Esther
Costello," featuring Joan Craw-
ford, Rossano Brazzi, and Heather
Sears. The movie is concerned
with a socialite who helps a blind,
deaf-mute girl learn to read and
write in Braille, and the romantic
complications. Loew's is spark-
ling with the fanciful comedy,
"Les Girls," starring Gene Kelly,
Taina Elg, Mitzi Gaynor, and Kay
Kendall. But the lights are sched-

uled to change on Friday, Decem-
ber 13, and shine on "Slaughter on
Tenth Avenue."

This next package is to the girls
living around Atlanta. On Decem-
ber 19 and 20, at 8:30 p.m., Arthur
Fiedler of the famous Boston Pops
will be the guest conductor of the
Atlanta Symphony. And on De-
cember 25, Walt Disney presents
Dorothy McGuire and Fess Par-
ker, co-starring in "Old Yellow."
This performance will be the world
premiere of this movie based on a
book of the same name by Fred
Gipson.

And so I conclude as I dash out

of sight,
Merry Christmas to all, and to

all a good-night!

UN Scene Evokes
Christmas Prayers

BY CAROLYN MAGRUDER

Two weeks ago I stood in the
entrance of the United Nations
building on Manhattan's East Riv-
er and surveyed
the kaleidoscopic
crowd. A grace-
ful Indian guide,
striking in her
multi-colored sa-
ri, motioned a
group of Brook-
lyn boys-clubbers
to stay together
in their tour unit.
Four Chinese uni-
versity students
nearby chattered
in their native tongue while ad-
justing their camera equipment.
Two African delegates strode
briskly by, presenting a novel com-
bination of ancient and modern
worlds with their flowing dress
and leather briefcases.

Such a scene as this plus the
international design of the U.N.
building itself cannot help but im-
press an observer with the pro-
fundity of the organization's aim.
For here the cliche-like words, "a
monument to peace," somehow be-
come real as one watches men
imbued with the furtherest ex-
tremes of religious, philosophical
and cultural backgrounds, who
cannot even understand each other
in a face-to-face conversation, dis-
cuss through interpreters the focal
points of the world's problems.
Millions Pray

Christmas 1957 finds a world
thinly guised in peace but triggered
for war. Sputnik, Algeria, Hun-
gary, Little Rock these names
call to mind a variety of situations,
all characterized by tensions and
conflicting opinions which to many
people seem unsolvable in the per-
spective of today's international
dilemma.

Still the United Nations meets;
delegates exchange ideas; affiliat-
ed agencies work in areas of the
world's need other than political
ones, and so Asian farmers are
taught modern methods of wheat
cultivation; a refugee child re-
ceives three meals a day, and Rus-
sia is censored for her action in
Hungary. From the results of it
all, a solution may be laboriously
hammered out, so that the U.N.
seal of the globe encircled by an
olive branch will become a living
reality. Millions of peace-loving
people pray for such an outcome
to manifest itself in our time.

Knitting, Cards Offer Diners Diversion
As 'Good Digestion' Awaits Time, Line

By Mary Byrd

The large number of visitors on campus recently has prompted the "News" to compile
information on the subject, "Dining in Evans Hall."

It is to be regretted that the staff cannot present any detailed schedule of the most
favorable hours at which to enter the hall. The length of the, pardon the expression, line
at any given time varies with such complex factors as the hour at which Miss Hagopian
dismisses the Glee Club, the num-
ber of students who attend the
basketball games, and the size of
the body of delinquents who are to
be numbered among the missing
from their 12:00 o'clock classes.

Moreover, since, with one ex-
ception, every student has as a
prime aim in life the avoidance of
lines in the dining hall, one is
liable to find that when he or she
dines at 6:30 because there is reg-
ularly no line at that hour, two
hundred students have developed
the same brilliant piece of strate-
gy-
Punctuality Advised!

As a general rule, the "News"
advises visitors to go to the hall
before it closes unless they wish
to hasten from one door to another
until someone leaves the edifice.
They are further urged to avoid
the hour of 1:05 unless they are
sturdy enough to survive the on-
rush .of students who, for some
mysterious reason, appear prompt-
ly at this time every week day.

If the visitor must participate
in the lines in the Hall, he or she
may find it desirable to pursue one
of the occupations followed by the
student body. He or she may play
cards at a neighboring table while
a cohort holds his or her place in
the line. He or she may read the
newspaper. She may knit. This
last is a favorite though contro-
versial pastime. The inveterate
knitter is the exception to the rule
that students shun lines. When she
enters the dining hall, she is
thrilled at the sight of one, be-
cause she knows that if she knits,
in line only, for forty minutes a
day at the rate of thirty stitches
a minute on size three needles, she
can complete a long-sleeved sweat-

Anthology Includes
'Apartment House'

Senior Nancy Kimmel has re-
ceived notice that her poem,
"Apartment House," submitted to
the National Poetry Association's
annual contest, has been selected
for publication in the Annual An-
thology of College Poetry.

From thousands of entries the
judges selected poems which will
appear in the Anthology when it
comes out next spring. Nancy's
"Apartment House" and other
outstanding poetry by college stu-
dents throughout the United States
will be printed in this edition.

er and two pairs of socks to match,
during the college year.

Visitors may be struck by the
many strange sounds in Evans
Hall. If they take several meals
there, they will make the startling
discovery that there is a student
at Agnes Scott who has roughly
fifty-three birthdays a year Ra-
mona. Loud shrieks of a distinctly
unmusical variety may be heard
on any number of occasions. An-
other junior may be pinned or
perhaps a sophomore has just had
her locks shorn. Breakfast tends
to be the most silent meal of the
day. Even the conversation is
mundane: "They call this a hard
egg?"

Masculine Attire

On occasion Evans Hall offers
the visitor a superb chance to stu-
dy the latest fashions and to cri-
ticize members of the male sex.
It is strongly urged that visitors
interested in smart wearing ap-
parel dine at the college Sunday
noon rather than Sunday morn-
ing. The few who may be inter-
ested in boys are advised to attend
Sunday dinner and Saturday sup-
per and to obtain a seat facing
the line.

Visitors are urged to return to
the line for second portions of the
nutriments. The students at Agnes
Scott can be divided into two
classes: those who eat no second
servings, and those who eat sec-
ond servings of everything except
desserts, of which they eat three.
In case the visitor obviously should
fall into a category of which he
or she does not approve, we give
the technique by which Agnes
Scott students overcome this diffi-
culty. Wait until your diet watch-
bird has left the Hall. Then, while
the conversation is going full force,

mutter as casually as possible to
your neighbor, "Do you want any-
thing in the kitchen?" and slip
hastily away. If you are one of the
lively people whose presence may
be missed, it is wiser to forestall
criticism by declaring loudly that
you are going to be naughty just
today. If you follower the latter
tactics, you will unfailingly cor-
rupt fifty to one hundred per cent
of the diners at your table.

Alston, Kline Travel
South for Meeting

Dr. Alston and Dr. Kline will
attend the forty-fourth annual
meeting of the Association of Am-
erican Colleges to be held in Mi-
ami Beach, Florida, January 7-9.
The association is composed of
liberal arts colleges and universi-
ties of the nation, and its over-all
purpose is to relate these institu-
tions, particularly those which are
non-tax-supported. The theme of
the 1958 conference is "American
Education and World Responsi-
bility/'

Dr. Alston is particularly inter-
ested in one phase of the associa-
tion, as he serves on the Commis-
sion of Academic Freedom and
Tenure.

The work of this commission is
to study the different policies con-
cerning tenure, and to survey the
condition of academic freedom
with the goal of maintaining an
atmosphere of freedom for think-
ing, speech, and research. The duty
of the commission is to bring to
the attention of the nation any
danger or handicap to this free-
dom.

As a cold wave hit the nation last week, the ice began to set in at
Agnes Scott. Beating the Christmas rush, Ann Blackshear, Susan
Hogg, Kathy Brown, Laura Parker, and Dusty Boyce (alias Miss
Glendora B.) are now members of good standing of that honored and
envied Diamond Club.

New pins around campus belong to Sally Fuller (Tech ATO) and
Grctchen Elliott (Emory med student, Phi Delt). One pre-Thanks-
giving pin was Marian Walton, Theta Chi. Ah, love!

Bonnie Greshen, Peggy Bradford, Sylvia Saxon, Kay Fuller, Jane
Kelly, and Grace Lynn Ouzts were thrilled to see our own Lee David-
son in "April Love," which was filmed in Kentucky. Lee, clad in a
bright red dress (you can't miss her), rides the merry-go-round in a
carnival scene.

Music, in the form of Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians, and
another Atlanta symphony concert featuring pianist Thomas Brock-
man, soothed the beaten brows of many paper weary Scotties. Louise
Law, Jan Law, Lil Hart, Emily Bailey, Miss Kate McKemie, Scotty
Maddox, Bugs Matthews, Judy Maddox, Kay Weber, Mary Mac
Witherspoon, "Woolk" Woolfolk, Sybil Strupe, and Rae Carole Hosack
listened to the Yankee chorus sing "Beyond the Blue Horizon" and the
ever popular "Dry Bones."

The Biggest City provided an exciting Thanksgiving for Jean
Clark, Carolyn Magruder, Sally Sanford, Peyton Baber, Susan
Shirley, Esther Thomas, Mary Crook, Becky Wilson, and Mary Rose
Speer. Among the high spots for Mary, Susan, Peyton, and Becky was
the Broadway show, "Bells are Ringing." Besides seeing "Tunnel of
Love' and "Look Back in Anger," Esther went to the Princeton Club.
Jean, Carolyn, and Sally were busy at a conference at the U N.
Nearby in Philadelphia, Marcia Tobey (Army) watched the middies
and cadets fight it out. Deepest sympathy.

Closing the social season of the quarter, the fraternities at both
Tech and Emory threw their annual Christmas parties, complete with
tinsel, white tissue paper, nasty little presents, lighted Christmas
trees, and glistening balls.

Over at Tech, Wardie Abernethy, Ellen Hines, Pat Ervin, Florence
Gaines, Ann Holloman, Panni Doar, Jane Kraemer spread peace and
good will at Beta. Harriet Elder, Pat Murphy, and Rose Marie Regero
rained good cheer on the KA's. Meanwhile, Margie Erickson, Pat
Gover, Ann Tilly, Linda Grant, Mary Jane Pfaff, Martha McKinney,
Judy Albergotti, Dee Dee Doan, Judy Elmore were whooping it up
over at Sigma Chi.

The Phi Delts had Jo Sawyer, Pat Patterson, Becky Davis, and
Dana Hundley. Next door the Sigma Nu's wined and dined Betsy
Boyd, Jane Cooper, Rosemary Kittrell, Val Edwards, Barbara Specht,
and Cynthia Grant.

Nell Archer and Sue Smith went to Phi Kappa Tau's Christmas
Dance at the Biltmore, while Hollis Smith and Sally Bryan danced
with the Delts.

Christmas spirit at Emory ran equally high. Anne Akerman and
Susannah Masten had a jolly old time with the Sigma Pi's, while
Jody Armbrecht, Maria Harris, and Ann Hawley gave the Phi Delts
a thrill.

The Delts had the company of charming Frannie Elliot, Judy
Houchins, Peewee Fowlkes, Jean Brennan, Margaret Lipham, Mari-
anne Sharp, Nancy Hughes, and Jean Corbett. Anne Whisnant,
Marsha Lear, and Mary Wayne Crymes livened up the SAE's, while
June Connally, Myra Glasure, and Ann Sims shed cheer and light on
the KA's.

Merry Christmas to all and to all good luck on exams!

Junior hockey team practices for first win of season.

Senior Team Captures Hockey
Trophy by Defeating Freshmen

By Pat Stewart and Nancy Duvall

King Hockey 1957 bowed out Friday after seeing the seniors
defeat the freshmen 2 to 0 to become the 1957 hockey cham-
pions and the juniors defeat the sophomores 2 to 0 to capture
3rd place. The freshmen were second.

In the first half of the exciting and well played champion-
ship game, the freshmen threaten

ed to score first, but failed. Then
the seniors challenged, but the
ball was first out for a corner and
then a 25-yard bully. The frosh
successfully defended their goal
and the ball changed direction re-
peatedly. The seniors made sev-
eral attempts in which the ball
missed being a goal by a few in-
ches. With two minutes left in the
half, Becky Barlow broke through
the defense to score the first goal.
Two minutes later just after the
timer's whistle blew, the freshmen
got a ball in the senior cage but
seconds too late to count.

Long drives and beautiful passes
kept the spectators standing in
the second half. The frosh raced
down an open field, but the seniors
overtook them. Later Jo Sawyer
tore down the field leading the
two teams but was stopped right
at the goal. Then the seniors dom-
inated, hitting one goal which
didn't count because it was hit
from outside the circle. However,
a second goal was made by Joan
St. Clair which made the score 2
to 0. Again play was predominate-
ly at the frosh goal, and the sen-
iors were trying for the third goal
when time ran out.

Although it had to play second
fiddle to the championship game,
the junior-sophomore game was
well played and proved to be a
close contest until the second half.

The first half saw fierce fight-
ing by both teams. Barbara Specht
and Jill Imray played especially
well for the sophomores and Mar-

tha McCoy sparked her team with
long passes. Neither team was able
to score in this half.

The juniors hit their stride in
the second half and completely
dominated the play. After close
and spirited fighting in front of
the sophs' goal, Jorie Muller push-
ed the ball across for the first
score of the game. Soon this feat
was repeated by the juniors, when
led by Ruth Currie, they scored
again. The game ended with a
junior victory, 2 to 0.

class.

Contrary to what it may appear,
however, the course is a serious
matter for those students taking
it. For, in preparing such a pro-
duction, the girls learn the most
effective approaches and methods
of teaching young children music.
Following each performance, cri-
tical analyses are made by the
entire class.

Sportsmanship Award

The fall quarter sportsmanship
award was presented to the senior
hockey team by Martha Meyer
Thursday in student meeting. This
year for the first time the award
was presented to a team instead
of an individual player. The pur-
pose of the award is to promote
sportsmanship on campus and it
was felt by Athletic Association
that presentation to a team would
better accomplish this aim.

The announcement of the var-
sity and sub-varsity hockey teams
was also made in chapel on Thurs-
day. Varsity members are Becky
Barlow, Martha McCoy, Betsy Dal-
ton, Joan St. Clair, Jo Sawyer,
Bunny Henry, Boo Florence, Kay
Weber, Martha Meyer, Gail Rowe,
Judy Nash, Shirley McDonald,
Runita McCurdy, Ruth Leroy, and
Laura Parker. Those elected to
sub-varsity were Peace Fewell,
Caroline Dudley, Pat Walker, Ruth
Currie, Louise Rigdon, Sue Mc-
Curdy, Sheila MacConochie, Lue
Robert, Nancy Duvall, Barbara
Specht, Mary Parke Cross, and
Nancy Stone. .

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GEORGIA, Wednesday, January 15, 1958

Number 10

Famished girls take break from studies and patronize the Hub's
new snack bar.

Hungry Patrons Frequent New
Snack Bar After Work, Study

"Hey, let's go to the snack bar!" This is the new invitation
we hear every night when the effects of supper are beginning
to wear off and Scotties are getting weary from study.

The snack bar is a new and permanent service which is
being sponsored by Social Council. Located in the Hub, it is
open , Monday through Friday

nights from 8:30 to 10:30. It is
under the management of Mr.
Clout, a professional caterer.

Included on the menu of avail-
able "goodies" are coffee, hot
chocolate, sandwiches, cake, do-
nuts, and a buffet of spreads and
relishes.

Social Council feels that there
has been a need for a snack bar
and they hope it will be an asset
to the campus. However, accord-
ing to Social Council, along with
the new advantage comes a new
responsibility that of making
sure all trash is dispensed in the
proper places and not on the
floor.

During the week preceeding

Community Enjoys
Mobile Art Exhibits

To encourage an interest and a
better understanding of art among
the students at Agnes Scott, the
art department has taken the
initiative in bringing art to the
students. A committee has worked
with Mr. Warren and Mr. West-
ervelt, and together they have
come up with the unique idea of
a traveling art exhibit. There will
be two of these transportable ex-
hibits somewhere on campus at all
times. The pictures on exhibit will
change as will the location of the
exhibit.

At present only one of these ex-
hibits has been completed. The
aim of this particular double panel
is to introduce the students to con-
temporary art. The pictures shown
were done this quarter by Mr.
Warren, who made preliminary
sketches at Little Arabia and later
developed them into the present
paintings. Both the sketches and
the paintings are on exhibit to il-
lustrate how a painting can grow
and how an artist is not affected
by the limitations of nature.

A second display will include
silk screens, most of which will be
on exhibit on the third floor But-
trick gallery along with a display
of California ceramics. The art
department has high hopes that
the traveling exhibits will soon
be an integrated part of the cre-
ative and cultural life on campus.

Junior Jaunt the snack bar will
be closed on Tuesday and Thurs-
day.

New Club Features
Local Psychologist

Dr. Melvin Drucker was fea-
tured on the second program of
the newly-formed Psychology Club,
which met on January 9 in Walters
Recreation Room. Dr. Drucker
spoke to the large group on Clini-
cal Psychology and Guidance
Centers, with special attention to
the possible fields that psychology
majors might enter after gradua-
tion.

The Psychology Club is com-
posed of psychology majors and
affiliate members, who may join
if they are interested in psycho-
logy. Caroline Miller is the newly
elected president, and Margaret
Woolfolk the vice-president. Sara
Lu Persinger has been elected
secretary, and Martha Jane Mit-
chell is the treasurer. The Psycho-
logy Club is advised by Dr. George
F. Rice, chairman of the depart-
ment.

Rep. Council Posts
Activities Calendar

Have you recently had the prob-
lem of attending three meetings
all assigned at the same time?
Well, your worries will soon be
over. Representative Council is
sponsoring a Student activities
calendar to be used by the presi-
dents and chairman of all student
organizations and committees.

The calendar will be placed on
the Student Government bulletin
board and is to prevent duplica-
tion of meeting times. Each meet-
ing will be posted on the calendar,
which will consist of four plastic
sheets, making it possible for meet-
ings to be planned four weeks
ahead. Rep Council feels that this
calendar will be especially help-
ful in the busy weeks ahead con-
cerned with Junior Jaunt, Sopho-
more Parents Weekend, and Arts
Festival.

Eve Purdom was in charge of
this Rep council project.

Classes Sketch Original
Fantasyland Personalities

By Betty Cline

One of the highlights of every winter quarter is an annual event, sponsored by the
Junior Class, known as Junior Jaunt. Centered on the theme ^Fantasyla id;* festivities will
begin at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 25, with skits presented by the four classes and
the faculty.

According to Mary Clayton Bryan, overall chairman of Junior Jaunt, the five skits will
consist largely of campus humor, '
intelligible only to those who are
well acquainted with Agnes Scott
college life. For this reason, al-
though guests are welcome, their
attendance is not encouraged. It
will be a highly informal occasion
and admission is free.

Following the skits, a commun-
ity picnic is to be held in the din-
ing room. At 8:30 p.m. Neal Mont-
gomery and his band will play for
the ultra formal Charity Ball
in the gymnasium. Admission to
the dance is two dollars per
couple, part of which will go to
charity, and tickets will go on
sale January 21 in Buttrick and
the Hub. Students buying their
tickets in advance will receive
participation credit for their class
in the Junior Jaunt project partic-
ipation competition. The names of
the classes winning the skit com-
petition and competition for par-
ticipation in the money raising
projects will be announced at the
ball and the two winners will have
a special dance in their honor.

The primary objective of Junior
Jaunt is to raise money for char-
ity. Tomorrow in chapel students
will choose from the following list
the charities which they wish to
support: the Marion Howard
School in Atlanta; Dr. Alexander
Fund; French War Orphan;
NESFNS; World University Ser-
vice; Mountain View Home, and

South Carolinians
Win Debate Honors

Delegates representing the Uni-
versity of South Carolina, in the
Southeastern Inter-collegiate De-
bate Tournament, left Agnes Scott
on January 11 with flying colors.
They carried off all the individual
awards, as well as a number of
other awards. In the realm of in-
dividual awards, third place went
to Mike Osborn; second place went
to Pete Martin and Fred LeClercq
was placed first.

For the affirmative debating
awards, Agnes Scott College was
placed third, but, being ineligible
to obtain the award as the hostess
to the tournament, a three way
tie in points and wins and losses
went to: David-Lipscomb; Middle
Tennessee State College; Georgia
Tech.

The two undefeated affirmative
teams were: Sewanee which was
placed sencond, and the University
of South Carolina which was plac-
ed first. This wins-and-loss tie was
broken by points.

Florida State University won a
third place in the negative debat-
ing awards, while Howard College
was second. The University of
South Carolina again obtained a
first place.

In the overall awards, Tennes-
see Tech was placed third, Geor-
gia Tech obtained a second place,
while the University of South
Carolina won first place.

Barbara Varner, Sissy Daniel, Mary Clayton Bryan, and Ann
Rivers Payne make plans for Junior Jaunt, January 25.

Save the Children's Foundation
Inter-class cooperation is an-
other aim of Junior Jaunt in addi-
tion to its fund raising drive. For
the first time, class credit will be
given on the basis of overall par-
ticipation by every student. Each
time an individual spends money
on a project he will receive a tic-
ket in his class color. At the end
of Junior Jaunt these tickets will
be counted and the class with the
largest number, or the one who
has responded most wholeheart-
edly, will be declared the winner.

In this way the junior class
hopes to achieve a balance be-
tween an extremely competitive
motive for giving, and the absense
of any competition whatsoever.
To quote Mary Clayton, "Through

Foreign Folk Singer
Returns To Campus

Senora Ortega, internationally*
renowned guitarist and singer of
folk songs, who arrived on campus
Monday, January 13, will be here
for the remainder of the month.

called by many students here, is
no stranger on campus. She has
been an annual visitor for the
past several years.

During her stay here, Senora
Ortega will have one chapel pro-
gram, as well as one program at
the regular Spanish Club meet-
ing. She will also direct several
fiestas, primarily for Spanish stu-
dents, who will learn Mexican folk
songs. Mrs. Ortega probably will
visit several of the Spanish classes
to help students learn correct pro-
nunciation. She will also present
her annual performance for the
Circulo-Hispanoamericana of At-
lanta.

That Scutt Look

Once during the Christmas holidays it was interesting to
overhear a conversation between two students of two north-
ern girls' colleges as they discussed the type of appearance and
clothing which typically characterized the girls of some of
the "eastern schools." Specifically, they were remarking
how almost infallibly one could spot the school from which
a girl came by the outfit she had on be it Bermudas with a
fur coat, knee socks with a polo coat, or any other combina-
tion which consistently and universally prevailed on any
one campus.

Needless to say, the conversation initiated personal thought
-md concern for the general appearance which might char-
acterize the "typical Agnes Scott girl." It was not thought
limited, however, to the particular clothes fad which might
typify an Agnes Scott girl, but thought and question con-
cerning the whole appearance. And the result of that mental
Survey was not the most favorable.

Being in an all girls' school many of us have become care-
liJ3 and lazy about our personal appearance. We have no
one to impress until the weekend, so why bother? No one
but girls will see us in the dining hall with hair rolled. No
one but girls will see us in class with hair uncombed and
that old sweat shirt. And so we have become progressively
more earless about our personal appearance.

Social Council has recognized this carelessness on campus
and has attempted to do something about it through a week
of emphasis on personal appearance. The "Agnes Scott News"
congratulates Social Council on its endeavor, and offers
its support for a successful project. It, too, is interested in
the appearance of the "typical Agnes Scott girl." L.S.

Where There's Smoke'

fa last week's housemeetings, a rather startling and dis-
turbing appeal was made: that each girl remember and re-
rrund her dates of the no-smoking rule in our Main date par-
lors. It seems that some students have neglected to explain
to their friends the danger of smoking in our oldest building
on campus.

Personally, we feel that this situation is inexcusable. If
dates must smoke, they need only take a few steps outside
the building; in addition, our student smoker on campus is
always open to our friends.

in our opinion, the existing situation is a definite infringe-
ment on our very precious honor code, the strength of which
iS dependent on the individual and her integrity. It is a real
disappointment that supposedly mature young women can-
not take the responsibility of abiding by a reasonable rule,
made for their own protection.

The suggestion has been made that no-smoking signs be
posted in the date parlors. We feel that these will definitely
detract, and will be unnecessary if every girl will realize
that the success of our honor system depends upon her per-
gonal integrity in seemingly as small a matter as this. CD.

Internationally Speaking

Dictator Squelches Rebellion,
Freedom Hopes In One Blow

By Carolyn Magruder

Caracas, Venezuela parallels many South American cities in
displaying a startling contrast between poverty and wealth.
Its skyline presents an impressive facade of modern buildings,
while only a few blocks away, the most deplorable slum
areas house thousands of her citizens.

During the past ten years, how-

ever, these slum sections have
been steadily transformed into
more liveable communal units, as
Venezuela, under the leadership
of one of the world's senior dicta-
tors, General Jimenez, has enjoyed
an unprecedented economic boom.
To cite one commentator: "Vene-
zuela, a primitive land ten years
ago, today shops for the delicacies
of the world."

Unfortunately, Venezuela's po-
litical life has failed to keep pace
with this material resurgence. Pre-
sident Jimenez once said of his
regime, "People may call it dicta-
torial but my country is not ready
for the kind of democracy that
brings abuses of liberty." Judging
from Jimenez' past and present
actions, however, any kind of Ve-
nezuelan "democracy" will be a
long time in forthcoming.

The December elections, for
example, turned into a cynically

rigged farce. A plebiscite was
held to determine whether Jime-
nez would remain in office for the
next five years, and the govern-
ment announced victory before the
polls closed, claiming over two
million "yes" votes for the Presi-
dent. Interior Minister Lanz an-
nounced these "triumphant" re-
sults to foreign newsmen with a
38-cal. revolver prominently dis-
played on his desk-a fitting symbol
of the election's whole tone.

As a result of the Jimenez vic-
tory, Venezuela rang in the New
against the President's regime.
The rebellion was stifled in less
than two days, mainly becouse the
army remained loyal to the Presi-
dent. Nevertheless, in the months
to come Venezuela will remain
in international focus as her dis-
satisfied populace struggles to free
itself from an iron-handed, tyran-
nical dictatorship.

Students goof -off in Hub as books take a back seat.

Smoke. Bridge, Cokes Rule As
Non-Frequenter Takes Tour

By Grace Robertson

You say youVe never been to the Hub? Not ever? Oh, just
for the exam teas. Well, you really must go, because you
haven't really gotten in the swing at Agnes Scott, you know,
unless youVe been exposed to the Hub.

Now, don't tell me you're afraid to go. Of course, its noisy
and kind of crowded, but if you '

know your way around it's fun.

Well, all right, if you want me
to I'll tell you the mores and cut-
toms. Or, come on, I'll take you
and show you. First, have you got
your cigarettes and matches, and
a nickel for a coke?

Okay, then, here we go. Up the
stairs and in the door, and I guess
we'd better stand here a minute
'til you get used to the smoke.
Can you see yet? Now, over here
is the TV set. Oh, no, we can't
watch it, it's been broken since
back in last quarter. Ajnd around
the bridge tables; excus? us,
please.

What, Liverpool? Oh, no, that
was last quarter. Nobody plays
Liverpool any more. It's all bridge
again now. Jackstones? Oh, that
was just during exam week; just
a passing fancy.

This, of course, is the piano in
this corner, and. . .

What? I can't hear you. Oh. No,
they don't always play it quite
that loud. She really is pounding
away on it, isn't she?

Got a light? . . . Um, thanks.
Now, these are the food machines.
Sure you won't have something to
eat? No, no, not in the cracker
machine. It's out of order, and
you can't get your money back
without going to Mrs. Smith's
office.

Do you see an ashtray any-
where? This one's too full to hold
anything more. Ah, here's one on
top of this pile of books.

Back here is the kitchen. Does
anybody use it? Well, not very
often and then it's mostly to write
papers. Sure, lots of people study

over here. You get used to the
noise. See, they even leave their
books here. Especially on these
bookshelves under the windows.
In fact, they're known in Hub
slang as "the offices".

Hey, Jet's watch this hand of

Did you bid ? . . . Yes, a spade
. . .Oh, and you?. . .two clubs
. . . Well, then, I'll say two hearts
. . . Pass . . . Two spades . . .

Did you have to lead that? . . .

that's one more trump out . . .
Hey, I didn't mean to play that . . .
Nope, a card laid is a card played
. . . And this is good, and this,
and these two are trumps.

Anybody for supper? The line
ought to be gone by now.

Come on, let's go.

Hey, let me finish this cigarette
first.

Ah, so, Lotus, that's the Hub.

Statistics Prove: One Out Of
Twenty Gets Holiday Jewelry

By Corky Feagin

Among the general laughing and excitement with each new re-
tournee the first few days of January could be heard bloody shrieks
and screams, and the shout of "Who got pinned?" or "Did she really
get a ring?" One out of every twently unmarried Scotties has re-
ceived a ring or a pin in the past month.

Eleven new pins joined the campus jewelry during Christmas holi-
days, representing fraternity chapters from the University of Miami
to the University of Illinois.

Marcia Tobey has a Campus Club pin from Emory; Phyllis Cox has
a Davidson ATO pin; Ann Norton, North Carolina Beta; Raines
Wakeford, Tech ATO; Lucy Cole, Tech Sigma Chi (football player
Larry Fonts).

Jeanne Slade is now wearing the crescent and the star of a Tech
Kappa Sig; Suzy Bailey, Sigma Chi cross from the University of
Illinois; Annette Whipple, the Phi Delt sword and shield of a Mercer
grad.

An SAE graduate of South Carolina pinned Fran Singleton, while
an AEPi at Miami gave his pin to Karel Kwass, and a Citadel man
gave his to Jo Hester. Last weekend Mary Crook received the pin
of a Tech KA. Mary Dunn is the proud possessor of a Tech SAE pin.

Even more exciting are the seventeen new diamonds! Plans for June
weddings, appointments for portraits, and the beginning of marriage
classes reinforce the "really and truly" flashings of the rings.

The first two engaged freshmen are Dottie Cummings and Beverly
Carter. Dottie's fiance is a Navy pilot from Boston, a graduate of
Brown. Beverly's is a Sigma Chi graduate of Georgia Tech.

Two West Point miniatures made their way down from New York
to the left hands of Audrey Johnson and Judy Sawyer, who are
planing June weddings in 1958 and 1959, respectively.

Sally Meek, Dot Ripley, and Jan Fleming will become Presbyterian
ministers wives: Sally, to a student of Union Theological Seminary
in Richmond; Dot and Jan, to alumni of Columbia Seminary. Donalyn
Moore will wed an Emory Theology student in July.

Joyce Thomas's fiance is in low school at the University of Tenn-
essee. Weezie Key's is a Chi Phi at Emory. Eileen McCary's and
Grace Woods' men are at Georgia Tech. Jan Matheson is engaged to
a Kappa Sig in the pharmacy school of the University of Georgia.

Leonice Davis will marry a Tech graduate who is now in the Navy;
Roselyn Warren, a Tech graduate now in Fort Monmouth, New
Jersey. A student of Presbyterian College gave Ann Corse her dia-
mond, and a graduate of Minnesota gave Mary Byrd hers.

One marriage took place over the holidays. On December 30, in
Jacksonville, Florida, Barbara Byrnes, Kappa Sigma sweetheart at
Georgia Tech, became the bride of the president of the chapter,
Joe Rogers.

Best wishes to these one out of every twenty girls, and good luck
to those of the remaining nineteen who have neither pins nor rings.

Alston Family Opens Kitchen
As Scotties Do It Themselves

By Sid Howell

A jigsaw puzzle; a fire and a canary. "Hey, there's that
cheese thing." "You mean you aren't sitting in it!!" "Reckon
you'll be able to get enough that way?"

You probably can identify the what, when, and where of
these statements if you were at Dr. and Mrs. Alston's open
house, Sunday, January 12.

From 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. girls
poured into the kitchen. "Fooood,"
they oohed and aahed. "Why I feel

Schoolwide Pep Rally Tonight
To Welcome Basketball Season

By Pat Stewart

A pep rally at 10:00 Thursday night in the gym will kick
off the 1958 basketball season. During the rally, the oppos-
ing teams will be chosen for Friday's opening games which
begin at 4:00.

To decide the opposing teams, class managers will be
blind folded and placed at each '

corner of the court. They then
will walk toward the center and
the two who first touch each
other will oppose one another the
next day, as will the remaining
two. The class managers are sen-
ior Becca Fewell, junior Marjorie

from the 16th Century, with its
interest in beautified nature and
pedantic attention to detail, to the
20th Century's highly successful
assimilation of naturalistic subject

This exhibition will be interna-

The collection of Religious
Prints, from Durer to Rouault, has
been selected to demonstrate the
various phases of religious art
from the 16th Century on. It will
show the 16th Century tie-in with
the church, which limited to a set
pattern the artistic scope of the
artist and restricted the choice of
media. The 17th Century group
exemplifies more artistic freedom

The narrative, descriptive types
of religious art of the 18th and
19th Centuries made use of in-
creased media and styles, leading
into the 20th Century, which is
typified by an almost unlimited
use of media and expresses the in-

Germans Present
Stage in Miniature

By Suzanne Manges

A large majority of the Agnes
Scott community enjoyed a de-
lightful evening on January S with
the Marionette Theatre of Braun-
schweig, and I am sure after the
first scene of
"Dr. Fautus" that
we all realized
this was more
than just an or-
dinary "puppet
show-." This pro-
duction with its
miniature stage
and life-like
wooden actors
had all of the
attributes of an actual stage pro-
duction, complete with elaborate
lighting, sound, and other produc-
tion effects.

I imagine that few members of
the audience realized the work
that went on behind the curtains.
The marionette stage itself was an
intricate structure taking ap-
proximately three hours to assem-
ble and erect in readiness for a
production. The troop and their
dolls and stage equipment travel
all over the country in a large bus
and the marionettes are transport-
ed in large wicker baskets. Several
persons were responsible for the
action of each marionette with one
being in charge of the hand move-
ments, another for the head, and
still another for the feet. Each
person works out the routine for
his part of the marionette, and
then all of the movements are co-
ordinated with the other members
of the troop.

Miss Carrie Scandrett enthusiastically examines travel folder as
she anticipates her visit in England.

Scandrett Anticipates Relaxing
Visit With Sister, Uncle Remus

An urgent plea for "two copies of your schedule," an un-
usual request for one pair of lined blue jeans, and a general
atmosphere of excitement have recently seeped through the
doors of the Dean's Office. For here, aside from the normal
activities of that office, there has been much plotting and
scheming for the royal bon voy

age of Miss Carrie Scandrett,
Dean of Students, to England for
a restful leave of absence from
her duties here.

Around the first of February,
a ship will set sail from New York
carrying Miss Scandrett to the
Isle of Man, England, where, for
approximately three months, she
will visit her sister, Mrs. John
Hardy, the wife of a retired Eng-
lish physicist. Mrs. Hardy is also
an Agnes Scott graduate and has
lived in England for ; about!5 years.
Uncle Remus, Too!

According to Miss Scandrett,
the main attraction of the trip is
the prospect of a quiet, relaxing
visit with the Hardys. She has
planned no elaborate tours and
will probably do very little travel-
ing. Her stay will consist primar-
ily of pleasant work in the year-
round vegetable garden, reading
Uncle Remus stories for the en-
joyment of her English brother-
in-law, and participating in the
typical English life of the Hardy's.

Junior Jaunt week is here! The
annual compus charity drive re-
ceived its initial impetus in an at-
mosphere of carnival gaiety at the
Junior Jaunt "Kick-Off" Monday
night in the gym from 9-10:30.

This Saturday the presentation
of class and faculty skits, a picnic
supper in the dining hall, and an
ultra-formal ball will climax a
week of money-making projects of
all shapes and sizes. NESFNS, the
Marion Howard School, Dr. Janet
Alexander, and the French War
Orphan are the charities which
will benefit from the drive.

In the gym Monday night a car-
nival-like midway offered fun,
games, food, and prizes to awaken
and stimulate campus interest and
participation in the spirit of Junior
Jaunt as a money-raising cam-
paign for charity. Described by
Kay Weber, who w r as in charge of
it, as the "first step toward a suc-
cessful Junior Jaunt," the "kick-
off" was different from all the
other money-raising projects be-
cause all of the classes participat-
ed in putting it on. In addition to
all kinds of food, the project of-
fered a haunted house, a fortune
teller, a wishing well, and booths
containing games such as a water-
gun shoot, a grab bag and a puz-
zle contest for student participa-
tion and amusement. Nancy Aub-
rey and Liz Acree were over-all
chairmen of the party, which was
sponsored by the campus Spirit
Committee.

Tomorrow is Suppressed Desires
Day, an annual feature of Junior
Jaunt week, during which the pur-
chasers of a special ticket may
satisfy many ordinarily frustrated
wishes such as wearing Bermudas
to class or screaming in the library.

Frances Gwinn directs senior skit for Junior Jaunt.

During an extended chapel time,
Mrs. Margaret Pepper dene will
speak in Gaines Chapel; then the
entire assembly will adjourn to
the Hub for donuts and coffee pro-
vided by Student Government (for
a price, of course).

Saturday afternoon, "Fantasy-
land," this year's Junior Jaunt
theme, will be presented in skits
by the four classes and the faculty
at 4:00 in the gym. Betty Garrard,
a junior, will portray a girl who
is led into fantasyland by a genie.
Once there she will see the seniors
present a ballet about "Sleeping
Beauty;" the freshmen give their
version of the "Wizard of Oz;" the
sophomores present "Snow White,
Snow Queen," an old tale with a
new twist; the juniors present
"Alice in Wonderland;" and the
faculty give their version of "Pin-
occhio." Informal attire will be the
order of the day.

Following the skits there will
be a picnic supper in the dining
hall from 5:30 to 6:30 P.M. at

Pulitzer Prize Winner To Arrive Saturday
For Sixteenth Annual Visit With Community

By BETTY CLINE

Robert Frost, one of America's
most distinguished and beloved
poets, will arrive at Agnes Scott
for his sixteenth visit to the col-
lege on the afternoon of Saturday,
January 25.

A former professor in the Eng-
lish Department, Miss Emma May
Laney, was responsible for first
bringing Mr. Frost to Agnes Scott
in 1935. Since 1945 he has visited
annually at the college.

While he is here, Mr. Frost will
stay with Dr. and Mrs. Alston. On
Monday evening, January 27, at
8:00 p.m., the poet, a four time
Pulitzer Prize winner, will deliver
an informal lecture in Gaines
Chapel. Admission for Agnes Scott
students is free, but there will be
a charge for the general public.

Two of Mr. Frost's books are
currently on sale at the main desk
in the library. They are : The Com-
plete Works at $4.50 per copy and
the Modern Library edition of his
poetry for $1.65. The poet chose
two hundred and thirty of his two
hundred and seventy poems for

this latter book and contributed a
personal credo in the form of an
introductory essay, "The Constant
Symbol," and a new sonnet "To
The Right Person."

Students who wish to have their
books autographed are advised to
leave them with the librarian by
Saturday, January 25. If time per-
mits, Mr. Frost will autograph
them.

Of special interest is the Robert
Frost Collection belonging to
Agnes Scott College which is now
on display in the McCain Library.
The collection which ranks with
perhaps two other such collections
of the poet's works in the nation,
is a valuable asset to Agnes Scott.

Included in it are the first edi-
tions of many of Mr. Frost's books.
The earliest of these, printed in
England in 1913, is a book entitled
Boy's Will. Among his later works
is a copy of the 1949 trade and
limited edition of his complete
poems. In addition, the Agnes
Scott collection includes the Eng-
lish and German reprints of this
same edition.

One of the most prized pieces in

our assemblage is a Peguin edition,
not printed for sale in the United
States, of the selected poems of
Robert Frost with an introduction
by C. Day Lewis. Also highly va-
lued are eleven complete sets of
the poet's Christmas cards con-
taining original poems and a page
proof manuscript of one of his
books, autographed and given to
Agnes Scott by Mr. Frost.

Mrs. Byers is especially interest-
ed in obtaining a copy of a paper
back edition of Robert Frost's
poems published during the Second
World War for the fighting men
overseas. This particular book was
only sold abroad and so far she
has been unable to locate a copy
of it if or the Agnes Scott collection.

Since his visit here last year,
Mr. Frost has received several
awards to add to an already im-
pressive number. Among them
were honorary doctorates from
both Oxford and Cambridge, and
the Holland Medal.

On Tuesday, Jan. 28, Mr. Frost
will have lunch with the English
faculty and that evening he will
leave for a visit to Miami, Florida.

which sports clothes are accept-
able also. Guests may be invited
if a place is reserved for them
ahead of time.

Saturday, beginning at 8:30,
dancers will be transported from
the world of reality to one of fan-
tasy as they enter the gym for the
very formal Junior Jaunt Charity
Ball and whirl away to the music
of Neal Montgomery and his band.
A color scheme of pink and blue
will carry out the transformation
under the guidance of Lila Mc-
Geachy, chairman of the decor-
ations committee. According to
Mary Clayton Bryan, over-all
chairman for Junior Jaunt, there
are to be no flowers for the dance.
Projects for Charity

During this week all four classes
are going all out in their efforts
to. support the purpose of Junior
Jaunt, which is the raising of mo-
ney for charity. Each class is in
charge of six or seven projects,
some traditional and a few, very
original. In addition to the cake
sales, a project which each class
puts on, there is plenty of opportu-
nity to spend father's money at
such places as the slave sale, the
beauty salon, the faculty "white
elephant" sale, and the bridge
tournament, and for such services
as bed-making and shoe shines.

2 O THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, January 22, 1958

This Thing Junior Jaunt!

What is this thing called Junior Jaunt? From November
until the end of January we are continuously confronted
with the words "Junior Jaunt" as they appear on election
ballots, on posters, and in clever chapel skits. We wonder
what this Junior Jaunt business is all about and why it
plays such an important part on the Agnes Scott campus.
We wonder what ultimate purpose and value is involved
in the busy preparations of skits, in the greatly publicized
participation in class projects, and in the general aura of
excitement predominant over the campus during this season.

This "wonderment'' often becomes a very real area of
neglect as we tend to throw ourselves so enthusiastically into
the outward manifestations of Junior Jaunt that we forget
its ultimate implication the spirit of sharing. When we get
bogged down in the tangible aspects of the occasion the life
or death cutthroat competition in raising money, the time
consuming work involved in the structural end, and the
fanatic race for class "support" we lose a right perspective-
lose the real meaning and symbolism of Junior Jaunt.

We are competing, working, and supporting our classes
for one ultimate goal to share our material wealth with
others who have need of it. Let's not forget that.

The junior class' emphasis on participation in money rais-
ing proects as opposed to emphasis on the amount of money
raised is certainly a step in the right direction. For they are
hitting at a vital need the need for a sharing spirit. Let's
participate in and enjoy Junior Jaunt this year, mindful of
this greatest implication and challenge. L.S.

Heads Up, Ostriches!

Across the bottom of one of the "Look-at-Yourself" signs
posted in the dormitories last week a student had written
her response: "Thanks, but I'd rather not." While this was
done in fun, it actually represented the reaction of too many
students to the Social Council's Self Improvement campaign.
Others were willing to look, to laugh, and then to forget the
whole thing.

In Thursday's Chapel the audience roared as "This is Our
Life" reflected in exaggerated form some of the conditions
on campus. The success of a comedy depends, in part, on
it's bordering on tragedy; while the comic element of the
skit came from the accuracy of the reflection, much of the
tragic element stemmed from the same source. These scenes,
which brought howls of laughter when viewed on the stage,
seem not quite so funny when repeated daily elsewhere on
the campus.

If we so desire, the students here can continue to hide from
their eyes these less pleasant facts of our life, but this
ostrich act will not be able to blind our campus visitors.
Social Committee is to be commended for it's efforts to arouse
the student body, but the final success of "Look-at Yourself"
week can be measured only in terms of visible "Self Im-
provement." M.M.

Internationally Speaking

Isolationism Poses
Free World Threat

By CAROLYN MAGRUDER

"Isolation is neither possible nor
desirable." These words spoken by
President McKinley in 1901 were
reiterated by President Eisenhower
in his recent State of the Union
address. The President elaborated
this point: "Our programs of mili-
tary aid and defense support are
an integral part of our defense ef-
fort. If the .foundations of the free
world were progressively allowed
to crumble under the pressure of
Communist imperialism, the entire
house of freedom would be in dan-
ger of collapse."

Since World War II it seems
obvious that the United States
has moved far away from the
traditional and detrimental isola-
tionist position that characterized
her pre-1940 foreign policy. The
Marshall Plan, NATO and SEATO
alliances, the Truman Doctrine
all provide conclusive evidence in
this direction. In fact, the average
American, if shown a modern de-
fense map would probably be as-
tounded at the number of air bases
we have established in allied coun
tries around the world, providing
as with a forged chain of security
links.

President Fears

Why, then, should the President
feel impelled to warn Americans
about a present danger of isola-
tionism? First, Mr. Eisenhower
fears that the distress generated
by Sputnik's success and Van-
guard's fizzle may well cause the
United States to understimate her
military and scientific strength so
badly that "we might be tempted
to become irresolute in our foreign
relations, to dishearten our friends
and to lose our national poise and
perspective. . ." Thus we might
actually "isolate" our allies unin-
tentionally by becoming so en
meshed in a wave of armament
hysteria that our international
vision would be grieviously distort-
ed. Our allies need level-headed
leadership during this crucial per-
iod, not a panic-prompted, mud-
dled attempt to resolve global
problems.

Secondly, it would be an unfor-
givable tragedy if the United
States, besides failing to provide

leadership, should materially de-
crease her foreign aid program,
both military and economic. Now,
as never before, it is imperative
that we give our allies and the un-
committed Afro-Asian nations tan-
gible evidence that we are willing
to back them in future anti-Com-
munist stands. The amount of aid
offered, however, should be subor-
dinated to the spirit in which it
is given a spirit unmotivated by
pseudo-altruistic designs, but ra-
ther prompted by a genuine desire
to help other nations less fortun-
ate than we.

Phone 'Co-operator' Releases
Intimate Secrets of Dorm Life

By Jane Law

Don't sob because you have phone co-op tonight. Unless
you concentrate to the extent that you only hear the ring
of the phone while you study, you have a most enlightening
experience ahead of you. Bet you a coke to a plaza that
you'll be amazed at the amount of activities that go on in
one building during two and one '

half hours. Permit me to read
from my Memoirs Of A Phone Co-
operator. . . . The seven-thirty bell
rings. I walk down the hall to
ward the phones and hear a varied
assortment of melodies drifting
through the key holes and cracks
of doors. From upstairs comes
"Haydn's Surprise Symphony," but
on my floor l.p.'s of bongo drum
music sound. I'm impressed with
the classical taste of those on
third until I'm told that the girls
are studying for a music course.

As I pass the rooms, voices call
out, "If I get a call, I'm in the
hub . . . I'm at the observatory .
I'm at Watson's . . . I'm at the
show with the girls . . . I'm not
here if I don't get a call . . ."
. . . Toll the Bells
Trying to connect the messages
with faces, I arrive at my post.
Since the bell for quiet hours has
rung, all of the doors are closed
I won't say that all is quiet.

Phone A rings. I put the top on
my pen, mark the place, close the
book, and lift the phone. "Give
me Lil Matthews." "Sorry, she's
in the basement." Silence. "She
seems to spend an awful lot of
her time down there. Hey, would
you mind telling me what's in the
basement?"

Back to my book. A girl goes
by on her way for. a coke. On the
way back she sits for a minute to
chat. Phone B rings. I push the
button for room one. A terrific
crash resounds throughout the
dorm and a door flies open. "Is it
a boy?" She skids into the booth,
drops her voice, and slurs expec-
tantly, "Hello?". . .

Girl goes into the kitchen to
heat some water for coffee; she
comes out to chat while waiting.
Long Distance Rush
Long distance phone rings. I
don't mark my place as I never
found it since last time. Before
I can push the button, I see hoards
of girls scrambling and pushing
their way down the narrow cor-
ridor. "Who's it for?" "It's mine."

Tis not." I pick a winner and
the others scratch on the booth's
door and drop notes and water
through the slits as the poor girl
tries desperately to hear.

One friend has brought her
bridge hand with her. Some one
hastens back to the room for the
remaining cards. I now have two
conversationalists and four bridge
players to aid me in my watch
for male voices.

By now the coffee is ready. The
aroma is ambrosia-like to those
within smelling range. Many fig-

ures are drawn towards the coffee
and join our, Industrious" group.
It is only eight-thirty but few
doors remain closed.

Phone B rings. I buzz for one
whose roomie vviJl take the call.
She takes the call and the date.
Someone passes by on her way
to get tomorrow's English assign-
ment. She gets her ankle pinched
for stepping on the card table.

A Junior Jaunt dateless girl is
frantic for a phone. I feel duty
pulling at my heart strings so I
fight my way to phone A and re-
mind the user that her two hours
are up.

I hear a shattering of glass at
one end of the hall. Just some
girls practicing with oranges and
coke bottles for their bowling
dates. This relieves me of coke
bottle co-op; now I have maid
duty.

Nightly Exercise

Those few who have been in
their rooms writing letters as-
semble for nightly exercise. The
reducers line up, the leader counts,
and a mass game of Indian wrest-
ling begins. One stands by with
hand on phone and infirmary num-
ber before her.

The ten o'clock bell rings. The
voices that began in a library tone
and rose to a dining room level
are now reaching the ball game
pitch ". . . Transfer . . . transfer . . .
all we do is study . . . transfer . . .
too much work . . . transfer, . . .
never get to relax . . ."

Alston Decries Triviality Of Collegians
In Plea For Disciplined Thinking, Faith

Editor's note: Because of the great demand, the "Agnes Scott News" has printed a large part of
Dr. Alston's January 15 Convocation address, "This Is No Time To Be Trivial."

By Dr. Wallace Alston

Since the beginning of this college session in September, the world has witnessed a suc-
cession of dramatic events with incalculable implications. I want to select five for brief
mention, not merely because of their intrinsic importance, but because of what they sym-
bolize.

October 4, 1957 was one of those days that will be remembered as long as there is life
on our planet. On that day from

somewhere deep in Soviet Russia
the first space satellite was
launched. Sputnik I was followed
shortly by half-ton Sputnik II with
a dog aboard! The world was
stunned by the news of Russia's
success in hurling mechanical
moons an unbelievable distance
into outer, space where they trav-
elled in their orbits at incredible
speed.

Then came the pitiful fiasco of
December 6 when at Cape Cana-
veral, Florida, our much publicized
effort to launch a satellite fizzled,
sputtered, and ended in a burst
of flame. The incident at Cape
Canaveral has become a symbol of
our humiliation. Subsequently, we
have called each other bad names;
have blamed the Democrats, the
present Administration, the Army,
Navy, and Air Force, the colleges
and the universities, the president
and Almightly God for our de-
ficiencies. Our pride is badly hurt.
Moreover, we know that the situ-
ation is serious. We are missile
and satellite conscious; we are
calling for basic research, the ex-
penditure of vast sums of Federal
money for scientific programs, a
stepping-up of plans to produce a
host of scientifically trained young
people in order that we may catch
up then outstrip the Russians in
this race for scientific supremacy,
for the control of outer, space
for all we know, for survival it-
self!

U. S. at NATO

Another dramatic event of re-
cent weeks was the flight of our
President to the NATO Confer-
ence in Paris and all that it sym-
bolizes ... A whole network of
issues having to do with America's
role in international affairs and
the precarious position of the
Western powers in a world in
which Russia has seized the ini-
tiative.

That strange conference held
the other day in Cairo, Egypt
"The Afro-Asian Peoples' Solidar-
ity Conference." 500 delegates
from some 50 countries booed
America and the Western powers;
cheered when a Russian delegate
said: "Tell us what you need...
We are ready to help you as
brother helps brother."

attention not only in the Deep
South, but in the most remote
places of the earth upon a do-
mestic problem in America that
stubbornly confronts us and that
could conceivably prove to be a
veritable cancer that could eat
away our vitality. Who can live
anywhere in America today in
one of our states in this section,
surely without carrying on his
heart some part of the burden of
our race problem . . .

"Cell of Sanity"

Do I need to go on with this
sort of thing? Is it not apparent
to the last one of you that these
are days that call for disciplined
thinking, for character, for strong
faith, for calmness and good
sense? Hysteria, sputnik spasms,
unreasonable fears, the jittery de-
mands for all sorts of crash pro-
grams and crackbrained courses of
action need to be evaluated and
dealt with as they deserve. We
desperately need people who are
quiet, who are able to think, who
have the courage to speak out, and
who still know some things about
values, about God, about the
meaning of life, and about the
resources for living.

It is in such a setting as I have
briefly suggested that we find
ourselves together on this campus.
You know very well that it mat-
ters to me that your lives are
well-ballanced, reasonably protect-
ed, and happy. However, I am

convinced that there ought to be
no conspiracy among us to hide
the stark facts of the present situ-
ation from you. This is a critical
time, a dangerous stretch of his-
tory, a period when all that is of
value in our life is at stake.

What is our place in all this?
What has it to do with us? What
have we to do with it? Of course
there is no pat little answer ex-
cept to say that we cannot poss-
ibly go about our business as
though these situations did not
exist. They touch us and will
at every turn. We ought not to
expect exemption from implica-
tion and liability.

Need For Meaning

What I would emphasize is that
we have no moral right to live
trivial, inconsequential, meaning-
less lives in such times as these.
Agnes Scott must not be an
escape into unreality for any one
of us. How can we best use the
opportunities of these days here
at this college?

Make up your mind what you
want in college. An administrator
in a respected co-educational in-
stitution said that women students
do not seem to have a genuine
intellectual interest. Harold Tay-
lor of Sarah Lawrence College
had a good deal to say about
undergraduate girls wanting se-
curity. The head of a big national
foundation says he is heart-sick
about what he finds on many of
our compuses: girls involved in
one big man-hunt.

Begin to live at your best a
disciplined life. Give place to the
physical, emotional, moral, intel-
lectual, and spiritual disciplines
that bring release of personality,
creativity, and the deepest satis-
factions that life offers.

Remember, you are responsible
for the response; the college
makes possible the confrontation.
We have teachers, courses, and
lecturers. We have had or will
have this year such men as Jose
Mora, Paul Weiss, John Mackay,
Robert Frost, Arnold Toynbee,
Edmund Steimle, and Harlow
Shapley. A real personal commit-
ment is needed. This is no time
to be trivial!

Prim Patty Dolls Don "PJ's"
For Fraternity Costume Rage

By Corky Feagin

Costume parties and house dances reminiscent of rush season
appeared at Tech and Emory last weekend, drawing numerous Agnes
Scott lovelies.

The latest styles of D. O. approved pajamas were displayed by
Peggy Edney, Maria Harris, Ann Hawley, Lucy Scales, Sally Smith,
and Sally Fuller at the Emory Phi Belts' pajama party and by Lee
Davidson and Cynthia Grant at Emory Beta.

For their Bundle Party, the Tech Delts brought their dates a
costume and had to wear what their dates provided for them. Peggy
Bradford ended up in an Air Force uniform; her date had to put on
a Roy Rogers tie, a cowboy hat, and pistols. Other Scott Girls there
were Josie Roden, Eve Purdom, Linda Clark, Eleanor Hill, Gloria
Branham, Carroll Connor, and June Woods.

Although the prize went to an Atlanta girl, Nell Madame Butterfly
Archer and Jean Little Red Riding Hood Slade were among the best
dressed at Kappa Sig's costume party. Myra Glasure, Leslie Sevier,
Lisa Ambrose, and Millie McCravey constituted, the rest of the Scott
crowd.

Nancy Awbrey, Ann Russell, Diane Foster, Judy Albergotti, Sissy
Baumgardner, Missy Moore, Mike Booth, Pete Brown, Ginger Marks,
and Prudy Moore watched Georgia Tech defeat Vanderbilt, 81-60.
Also cheering the home team to victory were Betty Mitchell, Rinda
Gay Fowlkes, Ann Frazer, Becky Davis, Sandra Davis, Joan Lewis,
and Panni Doar.

After-the-game house dances at Tech were enjoyed by Virginia
Aderhold, Betty Wyatt, Nancy Hall, Mary Lipscomb, Kay Richards,
CamiUe Strickland, and Dana Hundley at the Phi Delta house; Rosa
Barnes, Boogie Helm, Mary Park Cross, Betty Lewis, and Janie
Matthews at the SAEs'; Liz Acree, Emily Bivens, Martha Ansley,
Liz Shumaker, and Lynn Frederick at Sigma Nu; and Peyton Baber,
Ann Pollard, Mary Rose Speer, Lucy Cole, Cynthia Butts, Kay
Weber, Mimi Philips, and Lea Kallman at Sigma Chi.

That same night other Scotties frolicked at the Emory IFC dance,
namely Jean Brennan, Sara Lu Persinger, Judy Houchins, Peggy
Britt, Ann Newsome, Pee Wee Fowlkes, and Diane Parks.

The KA Convivian, in honor of the birthday of spiritual founder
Robert E. Lee, was held at the Piedmont Driving Club. Mary Crook,
Marion Barry, June Hall, Gladys Ferguson, Sue Lile, Nora Ann Simp-
son, K. Jo Freeman, Virginia Philip, Sue McCurdy and Carol Rogers
attended the elegant dinner-dance.

In addition to going to parties and dances, Aggie took advantage
of cultural events in Atlanta. Becky Wilson, Shannon Cumming, Dr.
Calder, Nancy Brock, Miss Huper, Pauline Winslow, Barbara Huey,
Joanne Brownlee, Louise Williams, Beth Fuller, Joyce Seay, Alice
Coffin, Nina Marable, and Marguerite Dickert thriDed to the music
of Debusy and deFaUa played by the Atlanta Symphony, Alberto
Bolet, guest conductor.

Shaw's "Back to Methuselah" had in the audienco Betsy Lunz,
Eileen Graham, Alice Boykin, Mary Elizabeth Webster, Betsy Ham-
mond, Martha Bethea, Miss Winter, and Dee Harvley. Others jour-
neying to the Tower play were Margaret Fortney, Randy Norton,
Suzanne Manges, Carol Promnitz, Betty Gzeckowitz, Wilma Muse,
Jane Prevost, and Lynne Shankland.

Among the fortunate few who have been to the Luau are Boo
Florence, Faith and Grace Chao, Mildred Ling, and Nancy Burkett.
In the jewelry game, no hits, no runs, no errors, as Dr. Alston says.

Juniors practice hard to avenge loss suffered on the court last
Friday.

Seniors, Sophomores Triumph
In Opening Basketball Game

By Pat Stewart and Nancy Duvall

The 1958 basketball season opened last Friday with the
seniors defeating the freshmen 36 to 28 and the sophomores
downing the juniors 28 to 17.

The fast and excited freshman and senior teams met to
open the basketball season and give the seniors the first
win of the season, 36-28. The frosh
took an early lead but soon lost

it, never to regain it throughout
the game.

In the second quarter the play
got a little rougher and faster.
The freshmen picked up 10 points
to the senior's 8 points during this
quarter to make the score at the
half freshmen 14, seniors 16.
Freshman Potential

In the third quarter, the seniors,
sparked by Hazel Ellis, pulled
away to gain a relatively secure
9 point lead. Martha Meyer, who
changed from guard to forward,
was particularly good on getting
rebounds. Small but swift Betsy
Dalton, Sarah Helen High, and
Ann Peagler were enough to
threaten future teams if they
should start hitting.

Ann Peagler changed to guard
the fourth quarter, but the frosh
could not stop the senior attack,
and the game ended 36-28.

The high scorer was Hazel Ellis,
accurate on both field goals and
free throws, who made 16 points.
High scorer for the freshmen was
manager Caroline Simmons, who,
although she did not play the
whole game, made 10 points and
promises trouble for future op-
ponents with her height and speed.

The excellent guarding by both
teams marked the junior-sopho-
more game. Led by coptain Peace

Fewell and by Bcky Evans, the
sophomores established a lead of
five points in the first half.

The second half saw the juniors
come battling back. McCoy scored
on a foul shot and Muller quickly
sank two shots to tie the game
14 to 14. This intense playing
caused many fouls. Capitalizing
on their free shots, the sophs once
more pulled ahead of the juniors.
Aided by the excellent guarding
of Duvall, the sophs again and
again gained possession of the ball
to go ahead 23 to 17.

The fourth quarter saw the
juniors, led by captain Martha
Jane Mitchell and by Maria Har-
ris, form an almost invincible
shield around their goal. The soph-
omores in this quarter only scored
five points, four of which came
on foul shots. However the sopho-
more guarding was excellent, for
they kept the juniors scoreless in
this quarter.

The game ended 28 to 17 in
favor of the sophomores. Soph
Becky Evans was high scorer with
12 points.

Slaves, Eyebrow - Pluckers,
Artists Work For Charities

By Sally Sanford

Money, money the love of which is supposedly the root
of all evil, will be on everyone's mind this week. It won't
be money for clothes, books, or food this time however, but
for the sake of charity, as the four classes launch their
Junior Jaunt projects competition.

There are some new and un-

usual projects this year, along
with the old profitable food sales,
Suppressed Desires tickets, and
the Chinese cake auction. (The
auction is Chinese, not the cakes.)

The sophomores will be push-
ing caricatures and contemporary
sketches done by modern masters
of both the romantic (ball gown
and hocp) and the realistic (Agnes
Scott sweatshirt and sneakers)
schools. The sophomores will also
be host to the unveiling of never-
before shown faculty baby pic-
tures. To all those who have won-
dered what their English pro-
fessor or biology instructor looked
like before the "clouds of glory"
were dispelled, this should be the
opportunity of a lifetime.

A senior project brought back
by popular request because of its
overwhelming success two years
years ago is the McDonald, Mc-
Donald, and Gwinn jewelry sale.
This will be held in the Hub at
the shoplifter-proprietors' conven-
ience.

Senior Servitude

The seniors will again auction
all of their choicest specimens at
the slave auction in the little
quadrangle. Freshmen who relish
the though of acquiring a mighty
senior to light cigarettes and make
beds for them should plan to at-
tend.

The juniors are the instigators
of a mock wedding to be staged

by the valiant Tech Sigma Chi's.

For those who have cotton
dresses still hanging in a closet
to be ironed, the freshmen will be
glad to do the chore. They are
also handling a contest for boy-
friends' pictures. The pictures will
be judged to determine the hand-
somest, richest, most intelligent,
and/or most fickle.

"Mirror, Mirror ..."
The juniors are again sponsor-
ing their most successful beauty
salon in Walters' basement. Mani-
cures, hair cuts, backrubs, shoe-
shines, and eyebrow-plucking will
be available to customers. The
juniors will also be selling cakes
in the Hub several nights.

Perhaps the most humanitarian
project belongs to the seniors.
They will serve breakfast Satur-
day morning in the Hub from 8:30
to 11:30 a.m.

The sophomores have a new
project which should be most suc-
cessful as it concerns food. They
will raffle off a dinner for two
at an Atlanta restaurant, which
can be enjoyed either with an
escort or a roommate.

One more new project is spon-
sored by the freshmen. They will
be selling engraved Agnes Scott
postcards which should be ideal
for keeping parents informed, for
making bulletin board notices, or,
in extreme cases, for being cut in
two and marked for bridge in
the Hub.

Juniors Spark Jaunt' With Win;
Campus Donations Total $1850

The 1958 Junior Jaunt was climaxed Saturday night when
in the Fantasyland of color, music, and dancing results of
the week-long project were announced. With the juniors
leading the student body in participation and the freshmen
running second, it was announced that $1850 was raised from
various class projects for charity.

According to a committee of fac-
ulty judges, the senior class skit
v/as judged best in the skit con-
test.

Saturday afternoon at 4:00 the
final activities of the traditional
charity drive began when each
class and the faculty competed
against each other in a skit con-
test. The theme of each skit fol-
lowed closely the overall theme,
"Fantasyland." The seniors' win-
ing production was "Sleeping
Beauty;" the juniors presented
"Alice in Wonderland;" the sopho-
mores, "Snow White;" the fresh-
men, "The Wizard of As;" and the
faculty presented "Pinnochio."

Following an informal picnic
supper in the dining hall, Junior

ASC Spanish Club
Entertains Circulo

Sra. Maria deLeon Ortega was
the special guest at a joint meet-
ing of the Agnes Scott Spanish
Club, the Circulo Hispanoamerica-
no of Atlanta, and the Atlanta
Pan American Club on Tuesday,
January 28, in the Walters recrea-
tion room. The meeting was the
third annual one of the three
groups.

Hazel Ellis, president of the
Agnes Scott club, was in charge of
the program and introduced the
presidents of the other organiza-
tions, Dr. Walter Cline of the Pan
American Club, and Mr. Vendrell
of the Circulo. This was followed
by a program of songs presented
by the Agnes Scott girls and by
Sra. deLeon Ortega. Refreshments
"with a Latin American flavor"
were served at the conclusion of
the program.

The Agnes Scott Spanish Club
is composed of Spanish majors or
others with a special interest in
the language and culture, while
the Circulo Hispanoamericano is a
group of Latin Americans in Atlan-
ta whose meetings are held in
Spanish. The Pan American Club
is made up of Atlantans who are
interested in fostering and im-
proving Latin American relations.

Jaunt continued into the night
as the gym, transformed into a
pink and blue wonderland, became
the scene for an all-campus formal
dance. Lila McGeachy commanded
the activities of the decorating
committee which carried out the
"Fantasyland" motif with lowered
ceilings, crepe paper streamers,
fairyland wishing wells and foun-
tains.

Junior Jaunt will continue to
show its effects when the $1850
raised during the week will be
divided among four charities: The
Marian Howard School, The Na-
tional Scholarship Fund for. Negro
Students, a French war orphan,
and Dr. Janet Alexander, a form-
er college physician, who is now
a missionary in Pakistan.

Overall chairman of the junior
sponsored charity drive was Mary
Clayton Bryan.

NOTICE

The "Agnes Scott News" an-
nounces the additions of four
new reporters on its staff. Upon
reading try-outs submitted by
interested students, the staff
congratulates Pete Brown, Jean
Corbett, Martha McKinney, and
Ann Parker for their work, and
welcomes them on the staff.

Philosopher Will Examine
Mankind In Campus Talk

By Mar y Byrd

Arnold J. Toynbee, brilliant philosopher of history and author of the monumental work
The Study of History, will deliver a public lecture on the topic "The Proper Study of
Mankind is Man" February 1 in Presser Hall. He is being brought to Agnes Scott by Lec-
ture Association.

Mr. and Mrs. Toynbee will arrive at the college late in the evening of January 31.
Lecture Association members and
senior history majors will have an
opportunity to meet them at a
luncheon in the college's private
dining room the following morning.
Runita McCurdy will preside at
this luncheon. After the lecture
Saturday evening there will be a
reception in Rebecca Scott Hall to
which all who attend the lecture
are invited.

When Mr. Toynbee is in London,
he is with The Royal Institute of
International Affairs, of which he
is leading figure. In order to gain
first-hand knowledge of his ma-
terial, Mr. Toynbee and his wife
made a trip around the world
in 1956 and 1957. During the
first semester of the 1957-58 col-

This series was formed to study

'Poetic Radiator'

A certain element of personal warmth and friendship
appears to radiate from one of the nation's most distinguished
poets as he quietly and unobtrusively walks over the campus
A familiar and beloved figure is Mr. Robert Frost as he visits
Agnes Scott annually to share a little of his delightful verst
and unforgettable charm.

Twenty-three years ago Robert Frost paid his first visi;
to Agnes Scott. Miss Emma May Laney, former professo:
in English here, initiated this first trip to the campus anc
was largely responsible for Mr. Frost's continued interes
in and loyalty to the college.

Monday night an enthusiastic audience once again sa
entranced as they listened to the poet informally read and
recite his verses some new, many others, old, familiar ones
His verse, in words of Louis Untermeyer, "had a growinr
int ; macy, radiating an honest neighborliness in which wi1
and wisdom were joined." The warm, gentle tone with which
he talked, the ready wit contained in his wonderful side
remarks, and the constant sparkle of his face were only a
few of the personal qualities which appeared to hold his
iis eners in complete subjection.

This was the sixteenth visit of the beloved poet. And, still,
he continues to "excite, to infuse with warmth, and to act as
a 'sort of poetic radiator'." His influence and spirit remain
even after his departure. His annual visit is indeed a valuable
and cherished inheritance. L.S.

A Worthwhile Connector

During the first quarter we spent at Agnes Scott as fresh-
men, we overheard upperclassmen discussing the approaching
win.er quarter. It was a time when through the chilling rain,
students rushed to and fro without seeming to have much
purpose for what they were doing. It was two dreary months
filled with wet feet and colds, low morales and indifferent
attitudes, and, above all, plenty of work to be done.

But winter quarter does not have to be that way. True it
is that the days do not always bring blue skys and sunshine.
But morale need not be low or attitudes indifferent. Winter
quarter does have much to offer, and it is the duty of every
girl to make a positive response to the activities.

Think of the opportunities we have to hear the distinguish-
ed lecturers speak to our group. Consider the concerts that
are given by members of the music department for our
enjoyment. The marriage classes are of great benefit to our
.seniors and engaged girls. Sunday night drop-ins at the
Alstons' home bring wonderful times of fellowship to all the
students. The recent period of Junior Jaunt gave us a chance
to work together for the cause of charity. And this year fcr
the first time we can plan and prepare for the Fine Arte
Festival which is to be the highlight of the spring quarter.

This winter quarter can be a worthwhile connecting linl
between fall and spring. How do you intend to spend it"

After Seven

Comedy, Opera, Hemingway
Entertain Atlanta Audiences

By Lil Hart

Music lovers will be hearing every thing from opera to
musical comedy this week. Lisa Delia Casa will make her
first appearance in Atlanta this Thursday and Friday, Jan-
uary 30 and 31, in the twin concerts with the Atlanta Sym-
phony Orchestra. Miss Delia Casa is the Metropolitan Opera's
Mozart and Strauss specialist. She

was born in Switzerland and has
sung in the leading opera houses
and festivals of Europe.

Figaro

Miss Delia Casa had been with
the State Opera in Vienna since
1947. During her performance she
will sing "Four Last Songs" by
Richard Strauss and also the aria
"Done Sono" from "The Marriage
of Figaro". The orchestra, con-
ducted by Henry Sopkin, will play
the overture to "The Italian Girl
in Algiers" by Rossini, Vincent
d' Indy's "Symphony No. 2," and
"Volcalise" by Rachmaninoff.

The Theater Atlanta presents
its first production of the season,
which is entitled "Thieves Car-
nival" Tuesday, January 28. This
roaring comedy will run through
Saturday, Febuary 1. "Thieves
Carnival" is under the direction of
Walter Jensen and three of its
stars are Kitty Anderson, Bob
Downing, and Henri Jova. This
production is given at the Com-
munity Playhouse, 1150 Peachtree.
The tickets range from $.90 to
$2.20.

Ernest Hemingway's story of
love and war, "A Farewell To
Arms", opens Thursday, January
30, at the Roxy Theater. This
movie is a David O. Selznick mul-
timillion dollar production. The
story comes from one of the most
rugged theaters of World War I
the Alpine peaks and the muddy
plains of northern Italy. The time
is between 1914 and 1918, when
the Italians stood against the Aus-
trian and German invaders.

It is the love tale about an
American ambulance driver, an

Letter To Editor

SG Secretary Pens
Thanks to Campus

Dear Editor,

Student Government Associa-
tion would like to take this op-
portunity to tell you and your
staff what an excellent job we
feel that you have done on the
paper this year. We believe that
"The Agnes Scott News" has its
finger on the pulse of the school
and conveys this feeling to the
entire student body.

A sincere "well done" is ex-
pressed to C.A. for their first-rate
chapel programs. The Interna-
tional Festival was certainly one
of the highlights of fall quarter.

Congratulations are extended to
A. A. for their reorganization of
the Spirit Committee and their
initiation of a new project, the log
cabin. We can hardly wait to use
it!

"Hats off" go to all the mem-
bers of Social Council. The cam-
pus has definitely profited from

English nurse, and an Italian army
surgeon whose paths cross behind
the fighting lines of the war. Jen-
nifer Jones .portrays the nurse,
the role that Helen Hayes created
in the original movie. Rock Hud-
son plays the old Gary Cooper part
of the ambulance driver, and Vit-
torio De Sica plays the role of
the Major Rinaldo, the Italian
army surgeon, made famous by
Adolphe Menjou. At the matinee
showings the price is $1.25 for all
seats; at night all seats are re-
served and the prices are: $1.65
main floor, $1.25 balcony.

French Setting
Among the other movies show-
ing downtown is Victor Hugo's
classic, "The Hunchback Of Notre
Dame". Starring in this produc-
tion are Gina Lollobrigida as Es-
meralda, the beautiful gypsy girl;
Anthony Quinn as t Quasimodo, the
deformed bellringer; and Alain
Cuny as Frollo, a sinister arch-
deacon. This movie begins Thurs-
day, January 30, at the Rial to.

At the Fox is "Peyton Place"
taken from current best seller by
Grace Metalious. Leading to a
powerful climax are Lana Turner,
Lee Philips, Terry Moore, Lloyd
Nolan, Arthur Kennedy, Russ
Tamblyn, Hope Lange, and Diane
Virsi.

For future plans, save the Sun-
day afternoon of February 16. At
3:00 p.m. Mantovani will weave a
magic spell with his music.

Junior-Senior Poll
Indicates Reaction

In a recent poll taken by "The
News" in conjunction with Lower
House among upper-classmen who
have seen other Junior Jaunt cam-
paigns in operation, the following
comments were made in reply to
the question: "What are your reac-
tions to the changes in Junior
Jaunt this year?"

Archer Bosvvell, junior: "The
spirit is much better. It hits the
participation business better. We've
needed a big dance for a long time,
and I'm glad to see we finally got
it."

Martha Davis, senior: "The skits
and dance on Saturday were very
successful. I like the idea of the
skits being campus humor."

Mary Hammond, junior: "I love
the change in the money. How the
skits and dance are done in the fu-
ture will depend a lot on student
reaction this year."

Barbara Duvall, senior: "The
participation idea is very good. I
liked the previous Junior Jaunts
because they were like musicals,
and the skits were subordinate to
the Juniors' production."

Jeanette Jones, junior: "I like
the idea that it is based on partici-

your work this year, which has pation rather than money, but I

ranged all the way from redecor-
ating the Hub, Fall Frolics in con-
junction with A. A., to "Look at
Yourself Week."

To "The Agnes Scott News,"
Christian Association, Athletic
Association, and Social Council,

think that a new system should be
worked out for keeping count of
the participation."

Mary Jane Milford, senior: "This
year's is something entirely dif-
ferent from what our class did last
year and the two years can't be

Okinawans Destroy
American Prestige

To most Americans the name
"Okinawa" is associated with an
island battlefield of World War H
"somewhere in the Pacific." A
more accurate geographical pin-
pointing reveals that Okinawa,
which is the largest of Japan's
Ryuku islands, extends 600 miles
southwest from Japan's home is-
lands, is only 67 miles long, from
3 to 10 miles wide, and has the
highest population density in the
world 1270 persons to the square
mile.

Since Warld War II, the U.S.
has spent $588 million converting
Okinawa into the key U.S. mili-
tary bastion in the Far East. Stra-
tegically speaking, the island is
crucially located, for from its air
bases planes can strike more than
1000 miles into the heart of Com-
munist-held Asia, while naval for-
ces stationed there can control the
exits from Soviet bases in the Far
East. Of more current significance,
Okinawa provides a platform for
missies close to possible targets in
East Asia.

Embarrassing Outcome

This fact that Okinawa has been
widely publicized as a highly im-
portant U. S. military outpost in
the Far East made the outcome
of its recent election an embaras-
sing one to this country. Both can-
didates who were running for the
office of Mayor of Nana, the is-
land's capital, were anti-American,
and both favored a return of Okin-
awa to Japanese control. U.S.
military rule was condemned as
"undemocratic," while a chief ex-
ecutive in Nana pledged to rid the
island of its "atom-hydrogen land
bases." To make matters worse,
the election's narrow victory went
to Saichi Koneshi, a left wing So-
cialist backed by the Communist
Party, this delivering a most dam-
aging blow to U.S. prestige in the
Far East.

Under United States occupation,
in force since the Japanese Treaty
of 1951, Okinawa, formerly a back-
ward area of Japan, has been turn-
ed into one of the most modern
and prosperous Pacific islands.
Yet native Okinawans seem galled
to reflect on their dependancy
upon the foreigner, and embittered
to have an American general hold-
ing veto power over their elected
lawmakers.

Ironic Situation

Thus to emphasize, perhaps to
flaunt their dissatisfaction, the
people have ironically used the
great instrument of democracy,
the ifree vote, which had been de-
nied them by pre-war Japan but
granted by the Americans, their
"tutors in democracy." As one
spokeman expresses it, "Okinawa's
latest election shows that an Am-
erican showcase has seemingly rep-
udiated its creators."

From "The Technique" comes
this bit of advice: "There's a good
movie at the Art, but remember
it is the censors who shall inhibit
the world."

"The Belles of St. Mary's" re-
ports that "it seems that we are
all getting that midyear slump.
Cheer up, the worst is yet to come.
'Tlie.se are the times that try men's
for college girls') souls'."

who talks in other people's sleep."

Tech Man Marvels As Women Swamp
D.O. To Begin Saturday Night Maneuver

By Jane Law

My cousin is a freshman at Georgia Tech and he asked me to introduce him to some
Scott girls. Being a promoter of any kind of acceptable relationship between Scott fe-
males and men at large, I jubilantly agreed to do so.

Two days after the arranged date, I was delighted to spy my kinsman on our campus.
Although I pulled it out of him in small snatches, I'll repeat the tale in one piece.

"Lake you said, once I got my
car parked I had no trouble find-
ing Main. I sure am lucky to have
an MG, because I never could have
gotten a regular, size car through
the gate and parked between the
magnolia trees. I got there about
seven forty-five and followed some
boys up the steps. Some poor guy
was having an awful time with
the front doors. He opened the
first one and his girl went out.
He tried to reach the second door
but another female was behind
him so he couldn't slam one in
her face. When I got there he had
one foot wrapped around one door
and was balanced on one toe so
he could reach the next. He sure
was glad to see me.

"Because I wasn't sure what the
procedure was, I stood in a corner
to observe awhile. A cute little
gal sitting behind a desk was ap-
parently making dates for the
rest of the year. Never before had
I seen so many males swarming
around one piece of meat.
File Box Operation

"About eight o'clock, the rest
of Scott must have gotten wise to
the girl's tricks, because hoards of
women approached the Dean's
Office from the rear. Instead of
attacking the men immediately,
they all crowded into one nice
looking office and mapped out
action for the night.

"Everything is organized at
that institution. They even have
file boxes for Saturday night
maneuvers.

"I was amazed to see one girl
come in with books. She and her
date disappeared into a little room

off the hall. I have no idea why
they left a magazine in the door-
way. A few minutes later I heard
music flowing through the crack
and from the sound of it, I wasn't
so sure that the books were being
used. Two hours later the record
hadn't been changed, and I was
sure that the studies were being
neglected. I still don't understand
the magazine.

"I discovered that I wasn't the
soul blind dater. Some boy was
assuring his companion that Lucy
would fix him up with a doll and
bade him not to worry. About that
time Lucy came in alone to break
the news of her chum's sudden

to wonder if the girl I'd caught
doing a quick about-face at the
back door were not the doll.

door. One of the frats was having

I asked the gal behind it why that
bunch of girls was lurking behind
the bushes outside. She smiled
and explained that they were wait-
ing for the couples to leave so
they could sign out for the Deca-
tur movies.

"Some poor female dashed into
the building, pale and trembling.
She had forgotten to sign out.
While she did so, her date shook
the hands of the clock so she'd
have plenty of time for making
more mistakes.

Midnight Rush

"Around two minutes 'til twelve
I thought that I was hearing an
air raid warning horns blew,
tires screeched, doors flew open,
and girls tore in minus their dates.
I could see the night watchman
scurrying from car. to car to warn
the inhabitants. I wondered if the
colonade were the evacuation
center, because so many couples
had suddenly appeared there all
faces were hidden."

I asked him to be specific about
the date I'd arranged for him.

"Oh, yea. Well, you know that
cute little girl behind the desk
it seems that she wasn't all dated
up for the year and that she did
get off duty pretty early."

I didn't have the heart to tell
him that the doll who did the
quick about-face was his date.

AS Sportsters Cheer, Skate;
'Jaunt', 'Sergeants Entertain

By Linda Grant

The week of Junior Jaunt was one of fun and frolic in addition to
the work and planning in which every Scottie participated. Climaxing
these days were the lovely dance and an eventful week-end which
followed.

Those taking an intermission from the beautiful Fantasyland dance
to go to Snapfinger Farm for a Tech Phi Delt- SAE party were Emily
Bailey, Missy Moore, Betty Lehman, Madge Clark, Mary Ann Mc-
3 wain, Jennie Miller, Nancy Moore, Kay Strain, Boo Florance, Betty
Gzeckowicz, Betty Lewis, Julia McNary, Janie Matthews, Mary Young,
And Patti Forest.

A very big attraction at the Tower Theatre was a presentation of
'No Time for Sergeants," which drew the following: Judy Albergotti,
Anne Christensen, Ginger Marks, Anne Russell, Rinda Gay Fowlkes,
Martha McKinney, Virginia Philip, Marian Barry, Peg Elliott, Corky
Feagin, Dana Hundley, Anita Moses, and Jane Norman. Also enjoying
this rolicking comedy were Gertrude Florrid, Ivy Furr, Nancy Gray-
;on, Charlotte Henderson, Wynn Hughes, Lea Kallman, Tomi Lewis,
Carol Rogers, and Marion Walton.

Basketball games at Tech found cheering wildly at the sidelines
Cynthia Butts, Dee Dee Doan, Peg Elliott, Becky Evans, Eve Purdom,
Sylvia Saxon, Lynne Sharkland, Martha Ann Williamson, Betty
rarrard, and Deene Spivey.

Sophisticated Scotties who attended a party at Robinson's for the
Technique staff were Ann Parker, Eleanor Hill, Linda Jones, and
Betty Gzeckowicz.

Pam Bevier, Caroline Dudley and Lynn Frederick attended the Sig-
ma Chi Sweetheart Ball at Emory while Sally Bryan, Peggy Edney,
Lucy Scales, Tricia Walker, and Ann Hawley were entertained by the
Emory Phi Delts. At the Delta Tan Delta house were Jean Corbett,
Margaret Lipham, and Mary Anne Fowlkes, and the SAE's included
Nina Marable and Mary Wayne Crymes in their festivities.

Georgia Tech certainly had their share of dances and parties which
included many Scotties. Those attending an ATO ice-skating party
were Linda Grant, Harriet Moseley, Jane Henderson, and Sybil
Strupe. Others at ATO were Sandra Boger, Virginia K'Burg, Theresa
Kindred, and Martha Ann Williamson.

Dancing at the KA house were Sandra Davis, and Harriet Elder;
Peyton Baber and Mildred McCravey at the Kappa Sig house; and
Carroll Conner, Mary Ann McSwain, and Dana Hundley at the Phi
Delt's. Ann Cobb and Jo Stokes had fun at the TKE's.

Among those entertaining out-of-town guests this week-end were:
Pete Brown, an Auburn man; Jane Norman and Mildred Love, Cadets
from VMI; and Ann Ashford, a Georgia man. Carol Fields is enjoying
the company of a visitor from Alabama this week.

Those who landed in the shower this week were the blushing recipi-
ents of fraternity pins who included Leslie Sevier, pinned by a Phi
Delta at Duke, Ann Sims, by a KA at Wofford, and Margaret Dexter
by a Tech Theta Chi. Best wishes to Fran Singleton who received a

Beloved Poet Charms Listeners
With Geniality, Sparkling Verse

By Betty Cline and Langhorne Sydnor

Monday night an overflowing crowd heard once again with
delight "Agnes Scott's Poet Laureate," Robert Frost. Treated
to an evening of warm, penetrating observations on myriad
topics, his audience appeared captivated by the genial per-
sonality and approach of the poet.

After an introduction by Dr

Alston in which he discribed Mr.
Frost's visit as "one of the things
Agnes Scott remembers and loves
best," the poet in an informal and
chatty manner projected numer-
ous comments evolved from his
own reflections on life. Mr. Frost
humorously observed that there
are three major things in our so-
ciety "religion, science, and gos-
sip. And the greatest of these is
gossip!" On this subject he stated
that the modern '/ruling passion is
minding each other's business."

In another vein on which he
touched briefly and wittily, the
poet, in answering the question
the modern professor usually asks
"What is the matter with the
world?" replied simply, "The
matter with the world is matter!"

He then continued to say that the
spirit often gets lost in matter.
Mr. Frost said that the world is
not a bad world but one in which
the conflict is between good and
good.

The poet illustrated his brief
remarks with poems which he
read or recited, flavoring his verse
with keen, sparkling comments.
He conveyed an intimate tone as
he shared with his audience such
poems as "One Step Backward
Taken," "Never Again Would
Birds' Song Be the Same,"
"Birches," "The Mending Wall/'
and the cleverly rhymed "Depart-
mental." With his poems he im-
parted some of his own "pleasure
of seeing sentences inlaid in verse
form."

High-scorer Hazel Ellis rings up another one for undefeated Seniors.

Senior Hoopsters Win Again;
Sophomores Stomp Freshmen

By Pat Stewart and Nancy Duvall

The seniors and the sophomores Friday repeated their
victories of last week. The seniors defeated the juniors 40
to 24, and the sophomores triumphed over the freshmen 48
to 35 in a fiercely played game.

In an unexciting and uneventful game Friday afternoon,
the seniors gained an impressive

40-24 victory over the juniors.
Both teams started out slowly.
Kimmel made the first two points
for the seniors and the class of
'58 then "began clicking. The sen-
ior combination worked again so
that at the end of the f:rst quarter
they led 14-3.

The second quarter was repeti-
tious of the first. The seniors were
led by accurate hitting Nancy
Kimmel. The juniors were hurt
by the fact that they made sev-
eral bad passes which caused them
to lose the ball. They were shoot-
ing but couldn't seem to find the
basket. However, they did make
9 points to bring the score to
26-12,

Ellis and Meyer sparked the
seniors the third quarter while the
juniors, led by Wynn Hughes and
Martha McCoy, tried to make up
the difference in score. The jun-
iors kept up their efforts and
spirit throughout the fourth quar-
ter, but couldn't bridge the gap.
Martha Jane Mitchell played a
fine game of guarding and stop-
ped some of the senior attacks.

Hazel Ellis was high scorer for
the seniors with 15 points. Muller
and Hughes led the juniors with
7 points each.

The fast tempo of the sopho-
more-freshman game was set in
the opening seconds by the sopho-
mores, and it continued unabated
throughout the game. The first
quarter was completely dominated
by the sophs. Their forwards,
Fewell, Saxon, and Evans, racked
up score after score while their
guards held the froshs to a bare
three points. The entire fresh-
man team was thrown off by the
fierce play and rapid tempo of
the game. Finally, late in the
quarter, frosh Peagler switched
from forward to guard in an at-
tempt to stop the sophomore ram-
page.

Freshman Reserves
The rest of the game was char-
acterized by this shifting of play-
ers by the freshmen in an effort
to slow down the sophomores.

The play of the second quarter
was still fast and furious. How-
ever, by now the frosh were be-
coming accustomed to the game's
fast pace. The excellent sophomore
guards still forced them to shoot
from almost mid-court, but the
freshmen forwards, sparked by
Tish Moye, now began sinking
their shots. However, the sopho-
more forwards were also playing
an excellent game and their team

only served to spark further the
sophomore forwards who, through-
out, had played an almost perfect
game. Capitalizing on freshmen

Spanish Lady Combines Roles
Of Teacher, Entertainer, Wife

By Suzanne Manges

Many of us here have noticed quite recently a charming
lady with flashing black eyes and a ready smile. Those of us
who did not already know her found out in Chapel Friday
that this vivacious visitor is Senora Maria Ortega, an annual
guest brought to the Agnes Scott campus by the Spanish
Department.

Senora Ortega, in addition to
her many other activities, teaches
Spanish at the University of Cor-
pus Christi, in Corpus Christi,
Texas. Some of her other activities
include tours on this continent and
Europe, trips to Mexico, Panama,
and South America to collect mu-
sic and materials for her folk
songs, and keeping house for her
husband in Corpus Christi.

Transcription of Music

Senora Ortega's special interest
is music and the folk-lore of the
Mexican and South American
countries. She has traveled by
boat, bus, donkey, and even by
foot into the remote regions of
these southern countries to obtain
melodies, some of which have
come down for generations
through the tribes of people. Sen-
ora Ortega visits with the people,
listens to the songs, records them
in her mind, and then arranges
them by writing down the rhy-
thms in her own system of short-
hand and with little arrows indi-
cating the beats and the guitar
accompaniment.

The excellent quality of her mu-
sic is due to the fact that she not
only listens to the music and
writes it down, but she lives
among the people and shares in
their daily activitiy in order to
gain a better understanding of
their customs, background, and
way of life in order that this un-
derstanding may enrich her music.
There is something of the people

in each one of Senora Ortega's
pieces. Each region has its own
dialect and this too plays an im-
portant part in the interpretation
of music.

Tropic Hospitality

Although living with the people
has its assets in enriching the mu-
sic, it also has its discomforts.
Our southern neighbors are very
fond of pets and some of the pets
in these tropical regions include
lizards, alligators, and snakes. It is
a very polite custom to give a
guest a pet as a present, and Se-
nora Ortega recalled, somewhat
ruefully, the gifts of a baby alli-
gator and a large turkey.

Mexico is very interested in its
heritage and past, and the Folk-
lore Society of Mexico informs
Senora Ortega as to the times of
the festivals, crop celebrations,
and occasions when there will be
special music presented. It is from
these celebrations that she has
collected much of her music.

In private life Senora Ortega
is Mrs. J. A. Billings. She is mar-
ried to a professor from New
England who is head of the Busi-
ness and Economics Department at
the University of Corpus Christi.
She plans to return home later
this year after several more ap-
pearances.

Alexander Plans Week
Of Religious Emphasis

A schedule of activities for Religious Emphasis Week has
been completed by Nancy Alexander, R. E. Week chairman,
in cooporation with Dr. Edmund A. Steimle, R. E. Week
speaker.

Throughout the week, beginning February 10 and ending
February 14, Dr. Steimle's talks

will revolve around the poignant
theme, "The Struggle With God."

His active schedule commences
Monday evening, February 10,
when he is guest at a dinner with
Christian Association Cabinet. At
8:00 on the same evening the pub-
lic is invited to hear Dr. Steimle
speak in Maclean Auditorium. A
reception will be held in Rebekah
Scott following his talk.

His overall theme, "The Strug-
gle With God," will be the subject
of his first chapel talk on Tues-
day morning. Personal conferences
begin at 11:10 a.m. in Walters. He
will luncheon with faculty men
at 1:00, and continue personal
conferences again at 2:50 p.m. Dr.
Steimle will speak to '61 Club in
Walters Rec Room at 5:00. His
Tuesday schedule will be conclud-
ed with a student discussion in
the Hub with Ann Dodd presiding.

Biblical Revelation

Wednesday's chapel talk is en-
titled "My Thoughts Are Not Your
Thoughts: the Struggle with Bibli-
cal Revelation." Dr. Steimle will
have lunch with the Community
Service Council after which he
will hold personal conferences
from 2:30 until 4:00. Next on the
agenda will be a talk to the Mar-
riage Class followed by supper
with hall prayer chairmen. At 7:30
Dr. Steimle will visit in Dr. and
Mrs. Alston's home where he
will spend an informal evening
with the faculty. A discussion in
the Hub will begin at 9:30 that
night.

On Thursday, Dr. Steimle will
speak on "Venture in Faith: The

Struggle with Religious Author-
ity." Personal conferences will be-
gin at 11:00. The day students will
have lunch with Dr. Steimle and
afterwards will participate in a
discussion in Walters. From 2:30
until 4:00 personal conferences
are scheduled. On Thursday night
Dr. Steimle will eat with the Re-
lated Vocations group. Once again
at 9:30 a student discussion with
the theologian is scheduled in the
Hub.

For his concluding chapel talk,
Dr. Steimle will speak on "Be-
tween the Time: the Struggle
with the Problem of Time and
Eternity." Personal conferences
will begin at 11:10 and will resume
after lunch at 2:30. A communion
service will be held in Maclean
Chapel from 6:45 until 7:30, mark-
ing the culmination of R. E. Week.

Senior Wires Lure
Freshmen to Party

Cleverly worded telegrams were
the freshmen's invitations to a
party given by the seniors in Wal-
ters Recreation Room Monday
night, February 3.

The bermuda - clad freshmen
were divided into groups accord-
ing to their home states, and each
group gave an entertainment rep-
resentative of its state. After this
"get-acquainted" game all were
served refreshments, which fea-
tured apple juice and sandwiches.

The Recreation Room was clev-
erly decorated with state maps
and other articles in connection
with the general theme.

Steimle Selects
With God' For

'Struggle
RE Theme

By Betty Cline

"The Struggle With God" has been chosen as the theme for Religious Emphasis Week
by this year's speaker, Dr. Edmund A. Steimle. In a recent letter from the speaker, he says:
"I have had the idea in mind for some time and was happy that it seemed to tie in with
the diagnosis of student life at Agnes Scott."

Dr. Steimle, presently professor of homiletics at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in
Philadelphia, was born in Allen-
town, Pennsylvania. He received
his AB degree from Princeton
University and his MA from the
University of Pennsylvania. The
speaker took his BD degree at the
Lutheran Theological Seminary
and his DD at Wagner College. In
recognition of Dr. Steimle's
achievements, Muhlenburg College
conferred upon him the honorary
degree of Doctor of Letters.

From 1933 to 1935 Dr. Steimle
was a Teaching Fellow at the
Lutheran Theological Seminary.
After leaving the^e he went to
the Lutheran Church of Our Sav-
ior in Jersey City, New Jersey.
For twelve years, from 1940 to
1952, he was the pastor for the
Lutheran students in the greater
Boston area. This includes, among
other schools, Harvard, MIT, Rad-
cliffe and Wellesley.

Are You Looking For God is
the title of a volume of Dr. Steim-
le's sermons published by the
Muhlenburg Press. He has also
had articles printed in various re-
ligious publications.

Dr. Steimle made his "nation-
wide debut" in 1955 on the United
Lutheran Series of The Protest-
ant Hour and on NBC's National
Radio Pulpit. For his ability to
establish "immediate rapport"
with his listeners, Dr. Steimle was
called "an effective new voice in
American Protestantism."

His long association with col-
lege students in Boston coupled
with the demands for his presence
as a speaker on other college and
university campuses indicates his

heard again on the United Luther-
an Series of The Protestant Hour.
In the preceding spring he will
also appear on NBC's Art of Liv-
ing program.

For the first time, this year
there will be a public service in
connection with RE Week. This
part of the program is in answer
to the requests of church people
in the Atlanta area for an oppor-
tunity to hear Dr. Steimle. The
topic for this talk is "The Frag-
rance Of Christ," an assessment
of our Christian witness on the
basis of II Corinthians 2:1217.

Professors Fight Losing Battle;
Frosty Signals Students to Play

"Oh, look out the window," was
the excited whisper which spread
rapidly around the classroom on
the morning of Wednesday, Jan-
uary 29. The cause for all the ex-
citement was snow, falling thick
and fast outside the frosty win-
dows. Many a teacher fought a
valiant but losing battle that
morning trying to keep the at-
tention of the students, for the
snow, a rarity at ASC, was far
moie intriguing.

The 9:20 bell pealed, and there
was a mad dash to all available
windows with shouts of "It's beau-
tiful!" "Let's take a holiday!" "Oh,
it really looks like it does in pic-
tures!"

For those who did not have
9:30 classes, studying was not in
order, because someone had the
ingenious idea of building a snow
man. At the end of a half-hour
the quadrangle was graced by a

gentleman about three feet in
height, sporting a stocking cap,
a muffler, and a yellow umbrella
over his outstretched icy arm.
While some were putting the fin-
ishing touches on "Frosty," other
students were engaged in snow
ball battles. At Watson's a line
was forming of students wha
wanted to buy film so that they
might record the snow-covered
campus for posterity.

Several hours later all traces
of our brief glimpse of winter had
disappeared, but two days after
the snow was gone, there stood
Frosty, our honorary co-ed, only
a little droopier for the wear.

Prompted To Action?

In a recent Convocation in which Dr. Alston spoke, one
predominant topic appeared as his general theme. Either
stated outright or implied, the subject of apathy and of its
implications on the college campus was dealt with in serious
and concerned terms.

Webster defines apathy as a "want of feeling; indifference
to what appeals to feelings or interest, or prompts to action."
Dr. Alston in his address expressed his feelings against in-
difference and "want of feeling" when he said "this is no
time to be trivial." He urged the student body in no uncertain
terms to make use of the facilities and opportunities offered
us here at Agnes Scott for the enrichment of our own intellec-
tual beings to be interested in and concerned with the
outstanding problems facing the world. He condemned the
threat of apathy of indifference and disinterestedness
which has appeared on numerous college and university
campuses over the United States.

We as a student body felt the impact of those words. We
felt the sincerity and forcefulness with which they were
said. We have commented on their force and potency.

But, what does that mean? Will Dr. Alston's words bring
response in the form of action on our part? Perhaps he
stimulated in us the desire to look at our studies and activi-
ties in a new light to look at them with the idea of getting
the full essence of value from them. But, perhaps he also
"prompted us to action" sparked initiative which has been
dormant and unused.

We all have ideas and suggestions which have either been
suppressed or aired only among intimate friends. We have
been apathetic about making them known for fear of social
pressure or some other reason. But, often our ideas and
suggestions are just the ones needed for a vital change or
new insight into an area of our campus living.

Student Government has placed a suggestion box in the
mail room. To be a vital, working organization, it needs the
ideas and thoughts of the entire student body. It's our respon-
sibility to overcome this apthetic tendency to express our
concerns with concrete suggestions.

The "Agnes Scott News" is another agenecy in which we
may unleash dormant initiative. A letter to the editor express-
ing individual views and opinions will give ideas of the
general feeing of the student body. Student Government
urges you to make use of these two agencies that they may
mere adequately satisfy the needs of the community as a
whole. L. S.

Guest Editorial

Religious Emphasis Week will soon be upon us. But what
does this mean to us? This is a question that each of us must
face individually. Our R. E. Week speaker, Dr. Edmund
Steimle, is a very well-known and well-liked figure of today.
He can certainly bring an effective challenge to- each of us.
But unless we have prepared ourselves, unless we have made
ourselves receptive, his visit on our campus can have no
effect on our lives.

The theme for the week of services will be "The Struggle
With God," and Dr. Steimle has said that he hopes "to make
Biblical religion 'come alive' if at all possible." The topics
are as follows: Tuesday, "The Struggle With God"; Wednes-
day, "My Thoughts Are Not Your Thoughts: the Struggle With
Biblical Revelation"; Thursday, "Venture in Faith: the Strug-
gle With Religious Authority;" and Friday, "Between the
Times: the Struggle With the Problems of Time and Eter-
nity."

For some of us this may be a week in which we find our-
selves and our relationship with God for the first time; for
others it may be a week in which we renew and strengthen
this relationship; but may it be, for all of us, a week that is
the beginning of a fuller, richer and more consecrated life
at service to God and our fellowman. Jane Kraemer

Book Review

Posey Pens Colorful History
Of Influential Baptist Church

By Rosalyn Warren

A thorough understanding of American history, particu-
larly as it influenced and was influenced by the Baptist
Church, is the evident basis for Dr. Walter B. Posey's recent
book, The Baptist Church in the Lower Mississippi Valley,
1776-1845. This book follows the author's earlier similar
studies on the Methodist and Pres-

nominations, especially the Meth-
odists since both Baptists and
Methodists appealed to the same
class of people. This opposition
seemed to stimulate the Baptists
to greater activity, however, and
the church continued to gain in
popularity.

Mr. Posey succeeds well in re-
vealing the influence of Baptists
on the early history of this coun-
try. It is to the Baptists "that we
are chiefly indebted for the final
triumph, in this country, of that
principle of the separation of
church from state." The Baptists
too played an important role in
the conquering of the rough, crude
West.

In turn, history had a strong in-
fluence on the Baptist Church. Mr.
Posey's best illustration of this
is given in his discussion of the
conflict that developed in the
church over the slavery issue. It
was this issue that led eventually
to the formation of the Southern
Baptist Convention in 1845. Thus
Mr. Posey brings to an end this
colorful history of the Baptist
Church.

byterian churches.

Following the American Revolu-
tion, many Baptists were forced
westward across the mountains
because of hard times in the new
nation. The Baptist Church, with
its emphasis on democracy and
freedom of each individual church,
was "ideally suited to a young
land filled with the promise of
liberty and democracy." There-
fore, in spite of many hardships
and hindrances, this church grew
rapidly in the following years.

The preachers in the early
Baptist churches were uneducated
and poorly paid, but sincere and
aggressive. As the crude West
developed, however, the members
began demanding a trained clergy.
Along with this came organized
efforts to establish Sunday
schools, colleges, and universities.

The Baptist Church, evangelis-
tic in nature, was disturbed by
groups within the church that
opposed missions. Mr. Posey dis-
cusses to some extent these lead-
ing groups that were antimission-
ary in spirit. He suggests this as
one of the primary reasons the
Baptists did not succeed very well
in evangelizing the Indian. The
Baptists were disturbed not only
by dissensions within the church,
but also by clashes with other de-

Local Talent, Bolet, Players
Combine For Exciting Agenda

By Lil Hart

Music, drama, or movies, which shall it be? Jorge Bolet,
Cuban pianist, makes his second appearance in the Municipal
Auditorium of Atlanta on Thursday, February 6, at eight-
thirty p.m. He will open his performance with Beethoven's
"Thirty-Two Variations in B Minor." Included on the program
will be Liszt's "Sonata in B '

Minor;" Ginestera's "Sonata"
which was written in 1952; three
Rachmaninoff Preludes, the one
in F major, the one in F minor,
and the one in G flat major; and
Prokofieff's "Toccata." Last year
Mr. Bolet made his debut here
with the Atlanta Symphony Or-
chestra. His concert was one of
the highlights of that season.
Spanish Play
The Academy Theater, Atlanta's
newest theater group, opened its
1958 season Tuesday, February
4 : with the production of Garcia
Lorca's "The House of Bernarda
Alba." Lorca is one of Spain's out-
standing poets and playwrights.
His play deals with the frustra-
tion of women without men in
present-day Spain. The production
stars Majorie Kloville, Muriel
Moore, Martha Tanner, and Flora
Levin. Frank Whittow directs.
This production will run through
Saturday, February 8th, at the

the Civil War era. This bold drama
of love and conflict is filmed in
MGM's new camera 65 process, saving those pennys now!

Historically the movie covers the
period beginning with the celebra-
tion of Abraham Lincoln's elec-

Internationally Speaking

U.S. Views Russian
Parlies Skeptically

By Carolyn Magruder

High level meetings between
Russia and the West generally
serve as international outlets for
Soviet propaganda rather than
proving themselves to be of real-
istic worth in confronting the
global problems of today. The
United States has thus come to
view these summit conferences in
a highly skeptical manner, feel-
ing that no talks at all are better
than the filabustering fiascos that
have come to dominate the scene.

Several recent events, however,
have revealed themselves to be
undercover signs that the two
sides are once again exploring the
question of talks, not so much on
the summit level as on the level
of lower negotiations, using am-
bassadors, foreign Ministers of the
United Nations as a prerequisite
to summit talks. Such less pub-
licized meetings, many observers
feel, do much more towards stabi-
lizing East-West relations than
the "big brass" conferences have
done thus far.

Zaroubin's Farewell

In Washington, Soviet Ambas-
sador Georgi N. Zaroubin paid a
"farewell" call on the Vice Presi-
dent before leaving for Moscow.
Although the two men, reportedly,
only discussed cultural contacts
now under negotiation between
the two countries, still the fact
that Mr. Zaroubin took the un-
usual step of asking for a per-
sonal interview with Mr. Nixon
might suggest that the Russians
are trying to gauge the prospects
for negotiations on a broader
scale.

While in Moscow, United States
Ambassador Lewellyn E. Thomp-
son called on Soviet Foreign Mini-
ster Andrei A. Gromyko "to in-
quire concerning the reaction of
the Soviet Government to Presi-
dent Eisenhower's recent propos-
als regarding possible areas of
negotiation between the East and
West." This visit coincided with
Dag Hammarskjold's disclosure
that he had been carrying on con-
tinued talks with national delega-
tions about using the US machin-
ery to set in motion new negotia-
tions on disarmament and other
East-West questions.

These signs are hopeful but by
no means conclusive elements in-
dicating that Moscow might be
willing to discuss honestly on a
lower level problems that she ex-
ploits notoriously at the summit.

p

From "The Critograph" of
Lynchburg College, a student com-
plains: "I told my folks to write
often, even if it's only two or
three dollars."

"The Davidsonian" is very con-
cerned about one of their typical
students. "Good old Charlie! What-
ever happened to him anyway?"

"Had to drop out. Took Yo-Yo
41 in summer school; tried to do
a cross legged back bend, vertical
twirl injured himself. Joined the
Coast Guard or a circus can't
remember."

From the "Belles of St. Mary's"
we are advised: "Never play ball
with a man unless he furnishes
the diamond."

'The Dakota Student" tells us
as one of their professors told
them: "Divided you fail united
you all fail."

Shoeless students spend evening in reserve room of the library.

Watchbird Notes Study Time;
Library For Sleep, Fellowship

By Mary Byrd

There are those at Agnes Scott who do and those who
don't study in the library, that is. The students who form
part of the huddled group shivering on the library steps at
7:00 every week-day evening can be shocked out of ten years
studying if you innocently ask them whether the library
closes at supper time. Others vow

that two-hours in the building
give them cold shivers up and
down their spines, palpitations of
the heart, and "that ache-all-over
feeling."

On a typical Tuesday evening
the carrels in the stacks are filled
with those who do. Silence reigns
except for soothing background
music floating from the gym
("Anchors A weigh" to be exact),
except for the muttering of a
Bauchsbaum crammer, except for
the coughs of a recently recovered
victim of the epidemic, except for
the heart-rending sighs of a child
psych expert to be, to be before
the next quiz or else. The stacks
are delightfully air conditioned in
winter, but the chairs are so un-
comfortable that no one can go to
sleep who has not stayed up for
two nights and who is not provid-
ed with two hundred pages of
parallel reading. Tonight a re-
markably large number of stu-
dents seem to have fulfilled these
conditions. Next to the carrels
stand rows and rows of books with
grisly titles, not quite all of which
have yet been assigned to any one
student. There is no view outside
the windows at night. Concentra-
tion is the watchword.

In the reference room the world
is wider and brighter. A student
is listening through earphones to
a record player. Her face is en-
tranced as she hears "Paris est la
capitale de la France." Students
slumber on the soft couches. Those
who are awake are in vital con-
tact with the Hub. A girl in the

corner is looking up "incongruity"
in the dictionary. As she leafs
through the pages, she gazes
across the room to note that Sally
is now dating Bill.

When we descend to the reserve
room, we find that two book-laden
couples are just leaving the build-
ing. Strange, it is only 7:30. At
the first table a perspiring stu-
dent feverishly takes notes from
a philosophy text. Five classmates
nearby alternately glare at her
and look hungrily at her book. A
harried freshman, adding note
cards to an overflowing shoebox,
suddenly becomes aware that a
paper aeroplane is whizzing past
her left ear. Two girls whisper
by the water fountain, "The only
thing wrong is it's a library."

ner meeting of the University

Ann Whisnant and Harriet Jackson went to the Emory SAEs'
sweetheart formal which was held at the Dinkier Plaza.

Meanwhile, a less elegant group of gals shivered at Lake Rabun
with the Emory KA's. These fresh air and open country fiends were
June Connally, Gladys Ferguson, Carol Rogers, and Nora Ann Simp-
son.

The brothers at Tech had a much more sensible party, considering
the weather. Nell Archer, Mary Crook, Rose Marie Regero, Wynn
Hughes, Anita Sheldon, Harriet Elder, Pat Holmes, Marion Barry,
Sandra Davis, and Suzanne Hoskins danced to records and inspected
the new dorm at the KA's proud House Warming Party.

Wilburn Announces Openings
For Summer Camp Positions

Camping, anyone? Students in-
terested in working this summer
as camp counsellors should make
an appointment to talk with Miss
Llewelyn Wilburn as soon as pos-
sible. Each year the physical edu-
cation department undertakes to
place students in camp positions.
According to Miss Wilburn, camps
are already writing to her asking
for applications from students for
the coming season.

Camping experience is helpful
but not necessary for the begin-
ning counsellor, according to Miss
Wilburn. The primary qualifica-
tions are a love of outdoor life and
of working with groups of young

people, initiative, and plenty of
patience. Students may work as
general counsellors or may teach
specific activities such as swim-
ming, horseback riding, or any of
a number of sports and crafts.

Besides providing a healthy and
pleasant way to spend a summer
and a chance to meet interesting
people, camp counseling may lead
to a permanent vocation or provide
valuable experience for those who
are planning to teach or to go into
any other vocation which involves
working with groups. Salaries for
beginning counsellors may range
from $100 to $125 while the more
experienced may receive between
$200 and $300 for the season.

Dolphins Practice Pageant 'Reflections;'
Sophomore, Junior Teams Take Wins

By Pat Stewart and Nancy Duvall

Dolphin Club will present "Reflections in Music'' on February 19 and 20. This is the
annual water pagent of the club which they have been preparing for two quarters. Ann
Blackshear is the president of the 1957-58 Dolphin Club.

Basketbail

The previously undefeated senior and sophomore teams met Friday in the so far most
important game of the 1958 has- '
ketball season. Led by captain
Peace Fewell, the sophomoies de-
feated the seniors 41 to 35 in a
thrilling game. Peace scored 24 ol
her team's points.

The first quarter saw the teams
evenly matched. The senior for-
wards Ellis, K. Sydnor, and Kim-
mel maneuvered through the soph-
omore guards to score 10 points.
The sophomore forwards Evans,
Fewell, and Saxon, exhibiting their
flawless shooting and playing abil-
ity, scored with set shots, and
when the senior guards were forc-
ed out from under the basket, the
sophs swiftly maneuvered the ball
in to Saxon who scored. The quar-
ter ended with the sophomores
leading 12 to 10.

The sophomore forwards reveal-
ed the calmness and confidence of
champions in the second quarter
as they calmly and patiently pass-
ed the ball back and forth be-
tween themselves waiting for an
opening in the senior defense.
Aided by this technique and by
the sophomore quarding and the
many fouls committed by the sen-
iors, the sophs upped their lead
in this quarter to 21 to 15.
Expensive Senior Scoring

The seniors came fighting back
in the third quarter. Shirley Mc-
Donald went in as forward for
the seniors and the seniors began
evening up the score. McDonald
scored 6 points, Kimmel 5, and
Ellis 4. The sophomores, led by
Fewell, managed to up their score,
too. Finally in the last seconds
of the quarter, Kimmel, on a foul
shot, scored the point that tied up
the game. Fewell came right back
and on another foul shot again
put her team ahead. This third
quarter scoring drive by the sen-
iors proved to be most expensive,
for during it they committed many
fouls. At the beginning of the
fourth quarter, a senior guard and
a senior forward both had four
fouls against them.

The play continued to be fast
and furious in the fourth quarter.
As Fewell sank shot after shot,
the seniors in desperation tried
for long shots which too often
were not successful. The sophs
scored 10 points in this quarter
while holding the seniors to 5.
The game ended with the sopho-
mores leading 41 to 35.

The juniors had been trailing by

quarter when, with only about
five seconds left in the game and
the score 33-32 in favor of the
freshmen, junior Wynn Hughes
made a goal to put the juniors
ahead and win the game.

Tish Moye started the freshmen
off with the first goal. Ruth Car-
rie and Wynn Hughes led the

the freshmen. Both teams were
evenly matched and the game was
close all the way. At the end of
the first half the score was tied

Betsy Dalton led the excellent

larly good during the third quar-
ter. Ruth Currie kept sinking the
goals for the juniors, but the
freshmen pulled away as the game
picked up speed, and they led the
juniors by five points at the end
of the third quarter.

Maria Harris and the junior
guards kept feeding the ball to
the junior forwards who made the
goals. The score got closer 3
points difference, then 1 point.

Toynbee Advises Cooperation,
Humility To Bring World Peace

By Caroline Dudley

Last Saturday night, philosopher-historian Arnold J. Toyn-
bee, world-renowned for his unusual and challenging his-
torical approach to the question of man's destiny, spoke on
the subject "The Proper Study of Mankind Is Man," to an
over-capacity Agnes Scott and Atlanta audience. With a style
surprisingly informal and lucid

the famous lecturer briefly re-
viewed man's past achievements,
analyzed the present world situa-
tion, and proposed his solution to
the problem of self-preservation
that humankind now faces.

At present, Mr. Toynbee stated,
the world is divided into two
camps. Each, through an intense
emphasis on technological study,
strives to win a frantic race for
military supremacy.

Today, the philosopher stressed,
as never before in the history of
man, we are in a position to de-
stroy ourselves: ironically, "man
has turned his own technological
skill against himself." In the past
the worst things man could do
were limited; "man did not
possess the power to destroy hu-
mankind, thus closing the door to
hope."

The crux of the problem is the
human nature with which we find
ourselves endowed: a completely
selfish, egotistical nature. Accord-
ing to Mr. Toynbee, man's desire
to be the center of the universe
manifests itself in two degrees:
the "singular," which is man's
own individual egotism whose
power to work havoc is limited;
and the "plural," when "I mas-
querades as we.' In this second
degree of collective egotism lies
the real danger for mankind.

How can mankind be saved? It
is only through co-operation, said
Mr. Toynbee, that man can solve
the problem of future self-
destruction, and learn to use his
achievements to benefit the hu-

man race.

Today our action must be to
rid ourselves of the self-righteous-
ness with which we cloak our-
selves to hide our collective
egotism. Quoting the Biblical par-
able, Mr. Toynbee pointed out that
we must get the beam out of our
own eye; we must learn humility.

If we do achieve an agreement
to co-exist, we will have to give
up trying to impose ideologies by
force. Each camp is attempting to
convert the other, said the his-
torian, but "it is desirable and
good only if we do our missionary
work by persuasion and not by
force."

In conclusion, Mr. Toynbee
pointed out that two recent events
have provided hope and encourage-
ment for the world: the announce-
ment last week of the harnessing
of atomic power for. peaceful use;
and the agreement by the Rus-
sian and United States govern-
ments to begin an exchange pro-
gram for citizens in all walks of
life in order that personal acquain-
tance, familiarity, good will, and
possible understanding may re-
sult.

Frantic Sophomores Houseciean
For Parents' Invasion of Dorm

By Betty Cline

The class of 1960 will set a precedent at Agnes Scott by
initiating a Sophomore Parent's Weekend set for February
21 through 23. Assisted by their faculty chairmen, Miss Mild-
red Mell and Mr. Edward McNair, a student committee has
been making plans for this weekend since last spring. Judy
Sawyer, Eve Purdom, Sybil Strupe,

Cynthia Grant, Diane Parks, Mar-
tha Sharpe, Mary Wilson and Kay
Lamb compose the student com-
mittee.

The Weekend will begin with
registration in Walters Hall from
9:00 to 10:30 on Friday morning.
Parents may also register on eith-
er Friday afternoon or Saturday
morning. A chapel service will fol-
low, conducted by Dr. Margaret W.
Pepperdene. From 11:00 to 12:30
classes will be open to parents and
they are invited to attend them
again on Friday afternoon and
Saturday morning.

Sports and Stars

In the afternoon on Friday,
from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m., the Physi-
cal Education Department will
present fencing and tumbling ex-
hibitions and a program by the
Modern Dance Group. Interclass
basketball games will take from
4:00 to 6:00 p.m. After dinner
Bradley Observatory will be open
to visitors from 7:00 to 7:45 p.m.

One of the highlights of Parent's
Weekend will be a skit presented
by the sophomore class, depicting
everyday life at Agnes Scott. An
informal get-together will follow
in Walters Recreation Room.

Langhorne Sydnor, a member of
the senior class, will lead the tra-
ditional Thanksgiving Service in
Chapel Saturday morning. Follow-
ing this program parents are in-
vited to a college luncheon, held
in their honor, from 1:00 to 2:30.
In the afternoon of the same day
President and Mrs. Alston will be
at home to sophomores and their
parents.

Invitations have already been
sent to the parents of the sopho-
mores and an enthusiastic res-

ponse is expected. Eve Purdom,
president of the sophomore class,
commented: "The student com-
mittee has enjoyed working with
the faculty in planning this first
Parent's Weekend at Agnes Scott.
We are all looking forward to hav-
ing our parents here with us to
share in our college life."

Committee Reports
Progress on Cabin

Spring quarter there will be a
new addition to the Agnes Scott
campus. The long dreamed of ca-
bin will be completed, according
to Kay Weber, chairman of the
Cabin Committee.

Provided "Ole Man Weather"
is agreeable, actual constuction of
the cabin will begin the first
week in March and will take ap-
proximately six weeks to be com-
pleted. Architectural plans are
now being drawn by Mr. Rogers.
There will be a duplicate copy of
the plans displayed in the mail-
room.

Successful Money Campaign

The money raising campaign,
according to Kay, was a success.
There is enough money to build
the cabin but probably not enough
to provide furnishings or equip-
ment such as cooking utensils and
curtains. The Cabin Committee
has suggested that a Open House
or Shower may be way to provide
these necessities.

Meeting with Miss Scandrett,
the Committee discussed suggest-
ed policies concerning rules and
regulations. These rules will soon
be presented to the student body.

Dolphin Club Members Plan
To Interpret Moods In Music

The members of Dolphin Club
will present, on Wednesday and
Thursday nights, February 19 and
20 at 8:00 p.m., their traditional
water pageant. This two-night
event, always held in the gym
during winter quarter, is this year
entitled "Reflections."

The pageant will feature sev-
eral different types of numbers
solos, duets, and larger groups.

Each number will elaborate on
the general theme of "Impressions
of Moods in Music."

On the technical staff are Caro
McDonald, in charge of lighting
effects, and Jo Hathaway, chair-
man of the costume committee.
Miss Dusty Boyce is faculty spon-
sor.

Tickets are $.35 per person and
will go on sale next week.

Lutheran Conducts
RE Week Services

With Dr. Edmund A. Steimle of
the Lutheran Theological Semi-
nary at Philadelphia as its guest
speaker and "The Struggle With
God" as its theme, Religious Em-
phasis Week has come to the Ag-
nes Scott campus.

This week of February 10-15,
is a period of emphasis on the life
of the spirit, which aims at pro-
viding a much-needed "spiritual
pick-up" for the entire campus
community, according to Nancy
Alexander, R. E. Week chairman.

As the guest speaker for the
week, Dr. Stemile is guiding stu-
dents in serious religious though
on his chosen theme of "The Strug-
gle W T ith God" through inspiration-
al chapel talks and as the leader
of student discussions in the even-
ings. Next week as a ffollow-up of
R. E. Week, there will be an em-
phasis on personal devotions, in-
cluding daily morning watches.

Throughout this week, too, stu-
dents have an opportunity to talk
over any spiritual problems they
may have with Dr. Stemile pri-
vately. Having had 15 years' ex-
perience in working with college
students, he is well able to under-
stand the student's mind, accord-
ing to Nancy.

Classics Professor
Will Discuss Vase

The Atlanta Society of the Ar-
chaeological Institute of America
will bring an outstanding classical
archaeologist, Professor Alexander
Cambitoglou, to Agnes Scott on
Thursday, February 20.

Professor Cambitoglou will give
a slide lecture on the Francois
Vase at 8 p.m. in room 207 of
Campbell Hall for a meeting of
the Archaeological Institute. The
lecture is open to the public, and
a reception will follow in the sculp-
ture and ceramics laboratory in
Campbell Hall.

Professor Cambitoglou, whose
field is Archaeology in Greek Vase
Painting, is a native of Greece. He
received much of his education in
England at the University of Lon-
don and has been a member of the
faculty at the University of Missis-
sippi. At the present time Profes-
sor Cambitoglou is in his first
year of professorship at Bryan
Mawr College.

The Francois Vase, the subject
of his lecture, is notably one of
the most beautiful Greek vase
paintings and one of the few com-
pletely intact. It dates from the
sixth century B.C. and was found
in a grave in Italy. This vase is
studied in two of our own art clas-
ses in the spring. Classics students
may also be especially interested
in hearing Professor Cambitoglou.

2 O THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, February 12, 1958

Of Permanent
Value

Here on campus this week we are being led in a time of
religious emphasis and spiritual stimulation by one of the
Ration's foremost Lutheran leaders. Dr. Edmund A. Steimle.
Ch^: : :: ging us with his morning messages, counselling in-
dividuals in personal conferences, and visiting with groups
at mealtime, Dr. Steimle has enriched this R. E. Week with
his presence.

But v. hrt lasting significance will Dr. Steimle's visit have
for u - here? Of what value will this week's guidance by this
eminent churchman be?

While wo are still immediately involved in the activities
of Religions Emphasis Week, this may seem an irrelevant
and highly illogical question. For certainly we are being
"inspired" by Dr. Steimle's talks; of course we are more
"aware of our spiritual selves;" and naturally Dr. Steimle's
guidance has "stimulated in us the desire to take our religion
more seriousty!"

Bui that is this week! What will be Dr. Steimle's effect
1 - at Agnes Scott next week, next month, next year?

Religious Emphasis week is an annual occurrence intend-
c ; r) - for the spiritual enrichment of us here. But there is often
the danger of responding to a week of religious inspiration
like this m an immediate enthusiastic and dedicated manner,
only to have the mountain top experience crumble and be-
come a faded memory after the week is over. All of the
dedicated commitments are forgotten as we descend from
the peak of religious emphasis to a normal routine.

It is l oped that R. E. Week will not produce short lived
responses such as these but will instead serve to enhance
i lasting spiritual maturation. The leader has been provided;
the challenge is before us. But, will we use this week and
all of its opportunities for its permanent, lasting values? L.S.

True or False

fin a re rent chapel, one of our popular English professors,
who has taught here only a short while, gave her impressions
of Agnes Scott. The talk was a sincere expression of praise
for the high intellectual standards and the truly spiritual
quality which she feels exist at this college.

Some of us may have felt the praise just, deserved. Some
>f Us may have felt her impressions were much too glorified.
But most of us felt humble and quite unworthy.

Froiri the time that we are freshmen here, until the time
that we graduate, we are made aware of the superiority which
Scott rightfully claims. Having heard repeatedly about
its merits 'for which we deserve no credit), we tend to grow
terribly eoxnplacezlt It is when we are highly complimented
$8 V srere in chapel two weeks ago that we realize shame-
fully how far short of the mark we come.

Si 1 realization is the first step. It is up to us who are
Agr " Scott to achieve the high standards set by those before
us who have made our college what it is, so that those who
believe in in may have their faith justified. Can we meet the
c*aflens?e? C D.

After Seven

Fancy Skaters Take 'Holiday;
Playwright's Daughter Stars

By Lil Hart

This week Atlanta is like Aladdin's magic lamp. Each genie
that arises from it brings wonderful entertainment with him.

The first genie tells of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra's
twin concert on Thursday and Friday, February 12 and 13, at
the Tower Theater. Yehudi Menuhin, one of the world's
greatest violinists, will make his

gin at 6 p.m., followed by Bernard
Shaw's "Arms and the Man" at
9 p.m. The O'Casey work depicts
the life of a typical Irish ifamily
during the hardships of the Irish
Civil War. The Shaw production
pokes fun at militarism and aristo-
cracy. An interesting aspect of the
O'Casey production is the fact
that the author's daughter, Shi-
vaun, a talented ballerina and act-
ress, is a featured member of the
cast. Miss O'Casey is the youngest
member of the Players.

Mantovani's Magic
The fourth genie brings the
world famous Mantovani to the
Alexander Memorial Coliseum on
Sunday afternoon, February 16,
at 3 p.m. Under his direction his
orchestra of 45 will weave a magic
spell over the audience. The prices
of the tickets are: $3.50; $3.00;
$2.50; $2.00; and $1.50.

The last genie is an artist, who
invites everyone to see the modern
Italian Art on exhibit in the Great
Gallery of the Atlanta Art Asso-
ciation. Represented in the show
are the Italian futurists and sur-
realists who have a large influence
on much of today's art. Among
those are Morandi, Campigli, and
Marini. The exhibit will remain
open through February 25.

first appearance in Atlanta in this
concert.

Mr. Menuhin has been hailed
by critics and by the public since
1925, when he made his debut at
the age of eight. Recently he has
made concert tours of India and
one of Hungary prior to the re-
volution of 1956.

Mr. Menuhin will play Beetho-
ven's "Violin Concerto" in D major
with the orchestra directed by
Henry Sopkin. Also included on
the program will be Berlioz's
"Fantastic Symphony", and "The
Swan of Tuonela" by Sibelius.
Both concerts will begin at 8:30
p.m.

'Holiday on Ice*

The second genie comes skating
in with the "Holiday on Ice" show,
which opens February 13th at the
Municipal Auditorium. This lavish
show will feature such numbers
as "Alice in Toyland", "Watera-
ma", "Fiesta in Spain", and "Alad-
din and His Magic Lamp". The
show will run through February
23.

A third genie appears bringing
with him the famous Dublin play-
ers of Ireland, who will perform
Saturday, February 15, at the
Tower Theater. Sean O'Casey's
"Juno and the Paycock" will be-

LETTER TO EDITOR

Washington and Lee Student
Censures Editors Faux Pas

Editor's Note: This letter was
addressed to Corky Feagin, So-
ciety Editor, concerning a por-
tion of the society column In
the February 5 issue of the
"News."
Dear Miss Feagin,

It has been called to my atten-
tion that in the February 5th issue
of "The Agnes Scott News" you
stated in your column that ". . .
Theresa Kindred, Sara Lu Per-
singer, and Nina Marable were at
W & L Mindwinters." I feel that
it is my duty as a Mink to inform
you that Washington and Lee does
not have "Midwinters." The dance
set to which you were referring is
known as "Fancy Dress."

Fancy Dress consists of a cos-
tume ball on Friday night, a con-
cert Saturday afternoon, and a
formal dance Saturday night. At
the ball, the costumes of the
guests are all related to a central
theme; this year's theme being
the operettas of Gilbert and Sulli-
van. The Ball took place in Buck-
ingham Palace, where the charac-
ters from The Pirates of Penzance,
II.M.S. Pinafore, The Mikado, Tlu>
Gondoliers, Patience, and Yeomen
of the Guard were being entertain-
ed by King Edward VII and Queer
Alexandra of Teck, the dance set
president and his date. The vice-
presidents of the dance set anc
their dates portrayed the leading
figures in these operettas, anc 1
the other guests portrayed the

minor characters. Buddy Morrow
and his orchestra played for this
dance.

Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong
played at the concert and dance
on Saturday. On both Friday and
Saturday nights, most of the 17
fraternities he.e on campus had
comboes, which made the week-
end one long continuous party.

I hope that you will make a note
of the fact that the three Agnes
Scott girls mentioned in your
column, and all the other girls
who were here, were not here for
"Midwinters," but for "Fancy
Dress." Please pass this note on
to your successors, as wc feel that
calling Fancy Dress "Midwin-
ters" is a erross understatement
and very insulting.

Best regards to everyone at
Agnes Scott.

Sincerely yours,

Problems Confront
New Arab Republic

By CAROLYN MAGRUDER

Over eight hundred years ago
Saladin the Great, an Arab con-
queror, made himself the Sultan
of Egypt and Syria, and defended
his domain against the Christian
West. Ever since his empire
crumbled, some Egyptian and Sy-
rian leaders have dreamed of the
day when both countries would
unite under a single Arab flag.
February 1, 1958, marked the real-
ization of this dream, for on that
date, Presidents Nasser and Ku-
watly announced the merger of
"United Arab Republic." The new
state is to have a single flag, cabi-
net, parliament, army and Pres-
ident Egypt's Nasser. Mr. Kuwat-
ly will be the Vice-President.

Merger Provokes Difficulties

Unity has long been an ideal of
all Arab thinkers and politicians,
because historic disunity has been
the Arabs' great weakness, leav-
ing them a prey to foreign domi-
nation. Yet the Egyptian-Syrian
merger appears fraught with dif-
ficulties that seem insurmounta-
ble in establishing a genuine union
between the two nations. For ex-
ample, the technicalities involved
in balancing the economic frame-
work of the two agricultural coun-
tries, plus the coordination needed
for their new industrialization pro-
grams present formidable prob-
lems.

'Positive Neutralism'

Egypt and Syria have also an-
nounced a joint foreign policy-
"positive neutralism" in which
all other Arab states will be in-
vited to join. Syria, however, has
long been the most pro-Soviet
state in the Arab world, thus caus-
ing many a skeptical eyebrow to
raised over her proposed "neutra-
list policy." Nasser, on the other
hand has dealt harshly with the
Egyptian Communist Party, al-
though he has felt no compunc-
tions about courting the Kremlin
when alleged benefits to Egypt
seemed worth the risk involved.

Nevertheless, whether the union
plays into Moscow's hands or not,
its propaganda value in the Arab
world remains high. For the at-
traction of "Pan-Arabism" today
is comparable to that of the Pan-
Slav movement prior to World
War I, and should not bo under-
estimated by the rest of thn world.

Dr. Papageorge

Illustrious Alumna Pappageorge Earns
Acclaim For Scientific Achievements

By Hazel-Thomas King

Editor's Note: This is the first in a series on unusual and fascinating careers of Agnes Scott alumnae.

"I'm interested in a little bit of everything" was the comment made recently by Dr.
Evangeline Pappageorge during a telephone conversation. And this statement can surely
be proved by a look into the varied and interesting career of this versatile Agnes Scott
graduate.

Having come to this country at the age of three when her father was sent from Istanbul,
Turkey to Savannah, Georgia to
become the first priest of the
Greek Orthodox Church, Dr. Pap-
pageorge has been a resident of
Atlanta since 1922. She attended
Old Atlanta Girls' High School
and graduated from Agnes Scott
in 1928 where she was elected to
Phi Beta Kappa. The next year
she became associated with Emory
University where she acted as as-
sistant in biochemistry and earn-
ed her Master's Degree.

Several years later Dr. Pappa-
george became instructor in the
field of science and it is interest-
ing to note that she was the first
woman to have a full-time ap-
pointment with the Emory Medi-
cal School. Also she has the dis-
tinction of holding the first Ph.D.
Degree among the women on the
Emory faculty. This degree was
earned at the University of Michi-
gan.

Woman of The Year

In 1941 this woman scientist
was awarded the Sterling Fellow-
ship. She was given a year's leave
of absence to do research at Yale
University in anterior pituitary
hormones. Ten years later the
Emory Women's Club presented
her with the Emory Library
Achievement Award given for
outstanding accomplishments in
her field. She was Atlanta's
Woman of the Year in Education
in 1952. Such a title was given her
because of her "fine influence on
students."

Dr. Pappageorge has served as
treasurer and president of the
Emory chapter of Phi Beta Kappa
and is a charter member of the
science fraternity, Sigma Xi,
where she has held official po-
sitions.

The small, vivacious woman
with dark hair and sparkling eyes
says that she has taught over
2000 medical students, student
nurses, and medical technologists
since the beginning of her career
in 1929. She instructed in the
graduate school even before the
time when women were admitted
as medical students.

Last year Dr. Pappageorge was
made associate dean of the Emory

Medical School. She is the first
woman to hold an administrative
office in that department. Because
of the heavy duties of that posi-
tion, she has had to discontinue
her teaching.

It is amazing that with such
an extensive field of work Dr.
Pappageorge has managed to in-
clude much extracurricular activ-
ity. For many years she has play-
ed in amateur theatricals. In re-

cent years she has become inter-
ested in the study of archaeology
and has made two trips to Greece
where in 1951 she attended the
American School of Classical
Study in Athens.

Dr. Pappageorge makes her
home at 460 Claire Drive in
Atlanta with her brother and sis-
ter. She says that if she has a
hobby, it is the enjoyment of her
neices and nephews.

Lucky Players Spin Roulette;
Combos Jam For Dress Hops

By Corky Feagin

Every year about this time elegant formals, funny valentines, and
starry eyes hold the center of attention for any and all romantically
'nclined souls. The big "bib and tucker" affairs last weekend were
held by the Emory Phi Delts, ATOs, and Tech Betas.

The scene of the Phi Delts' Saturday night formal was the Dinkier
Plaza. Dressed up fit to kill in taffeta, tulle, satin, and velvet were
Harriet Jackson, Jody Armbrecht, Virginia Philip, Maria Harris, Sally
Bryan, Joe Robertson, Martha McCoy, Sylvia Ray, Annette Teague,
T.uey Scales, Peggy Edney, Mary Jane Moore, and Ann Hawley. Ann
returned victorious, with her be-diamonded left hand waving in the
breeze.

Meanwhile Ellen McFarland, Ann Holloman, Judy Albergotti,
Camille Strickland, Laura Ann Knake, Wardie Abernathy, Becky
Wilson, Jane* Kraemer, and Nancy Alexander added that proverbial
Agnes Scott air to the Betas' festivities. The Friday night party was
held at Snapfinger.

Orchids galore blossomed at the ATO Orchid Formal which was
held at the Piedmont Driving Club. The Agnes Scott lovelies there
were Louise Rigdon (outgoing sweetheart), Llewellyn Bellamy, Millie
McCraney, Hope Weathers, Diane Parks, Raines Wakeford, Judy
Webb, Caroline Ryman, and Martha Ann Williamson.

Out at Robinson's, Eleanor Lee, Florence Wynn, Mike Booth,
Theresa Kindred, Becky Davis, Katherine Hawkins, Josie Rhoden, Anne
Pollard, and Mary Elizabeth Webster helped the poor pledges earn
an easier Hell Week at the Tech ATO Pledge Party.

Linda Dancy's uncanny luck made her the belle of the Tech Delta
Upsilons' Casino party. Other gamblin' women there hanging around
the roulette wheel and black jack games were Harriet Elder, Willie
Byrd Childress, Jean Brennan, Rinda Gay Fowlkes, Betty Mitchell,
and Ginger Marks.

The party of the week (for sea food connoisseurs) was the Tech
SAE's shrimp dinner and house dance. Gourmets Betty Sue Wyatt,
Boo Florence, Sally Fuller, Dee Harvley, and Jean Salter had a great
old time; Mary Park Cross, however, despises shrimp poor girl.

Rounding up the Tech basketball home season, Sara Anne Carey,
Dinah McMillan, Penny Williams, Margaret Bullock, Martha Breiten-
hirt, Janice Henry, Beverly Rippard, Sara Kelso, Joyce Seay, Martha
Lambeth, Joan Lewis, and Ana Maria Aviles watched Tech defeat
Tulane.

Determined to get their money's worth out of their season tickets,
Susie White, Hazel-Thomas King, Dieneke Neiwenhaus, Kay Fuller,
Kay Richards, Shannon Cumming, Miriam Inbar, Jane Weltch, Gayle
Roew, Lafon Zimmerman, Anne Morrison, Pegge Conine, and Laura
Westbrook braved cold winds to hear pianist Jorge Bolet last Thurs-
day.

Out of town trips: Betty Czeckowitz went up to the Miami Triad
at Vanderbilt; Susan Hogg, Chapel Hill; and Juanita Juarez, Tulane.

This weekend ASC hoops, perfume, and charm will be frivolously
employed at Tech's Kappa Sig Stardust Ball, the KA Rose Ball, the
Phi Delta and Sigma Nu Sweetheart Balls, and at Davidson Mid-
winters. Beware all men!

Butterick Art Gallery Displays
Contemporary California Work

The present art exhibit on dis-
play in the third floor gallery of
Buttrick contains silkscreen prints
and pottery by contemporary Cali-
fornia artists and potters. Both
the pottery and the silkscreens are
on sale for prices ranging from
about $5 to $30.

Silkscreen prints, contrary to a
wide-spread belief, are not repro-
ductions. They are actually the
original work of the artist. The
designs are done on the silkscreens,
and additions are made in the me-
dium of serigraphy by a direct
process. The outstanding Califor-
nia artists who have contributed
to the exhibit include Millard
Sheets, Phil Dike, Phil Paradise,
Robert Wood, and 'others.

The contributors to the pottery

exhibition represent a "cross-sec-
tion of contemporary potters in
Southern California." They have
studied under two of the best-
known potters in the country,
Peter Volkous, "the Picasso of
ceramics" and Marguerite Wild-
enhain. This prominent younger
generation of potters on the west
coast include Rupert Deese (whose
work is cast or formed from a li-
quid, by contrast with the work of
the other potters whose work is
"thrown" on a wheel), Marian
Moule, Paul Soldner, Harrison
Mcintosh, and Tony Ivins. Most
of these potters are professors in
west coast colleges, but Deese and
Mcintosh are professional potters,
who teach "on the side."

Badminton Club divides into teams for workout in gym before
sehool-wide tournament.

Twenty Compete In Badminton Tourney;
Scoring Spree Brings Senior Victory

By Pat Stewart and Nancy Duvall

The singles badminton tournament is now underway with twenty people competing. Tht
first round of the tournament was finished last Saturday. Interest in badminton on campus
is being stimulated by the Badminton Club which meets to play every Thursday night in
the gym.

Basketball

Following Friday's games, the seniors and the sophomores are again tied for first place
in the basketball ratings with one
loss each. The seniors Friday de-
feated the freshmen 62 to 50 and
the juniors upset the previously
undefeated sophomores 31-17.

The seniors pulled away in the
fourth quarter to win over the
freshmen. Up through the third
quarter the game was a see-saw
affair with neither team ever
gaining a firm lead.

Nancy Kimmel, who was hitting
long shots, was the power behind
the senior attack the first quar-
ter. The freshmen forwards work-
ed well together with fast and
accurate passing. At the end of
the quarter the frosh led 15-14.

Ann Peagler, Pam Sylvester,
and Sarah Helen High made a
good combination for the fresh-
men. Martha Meyer was the main
senior power in the second quar-
ter. Lang Sydnor paced the senior
guards with her ability to inter-
cept passes and get rebounds. At
the half the seniors led 31-29.

The scrappy freshmen guards
had difficulty with the senior com-
bination which was hitting from
outside and from directly under
the basket. Just as the third quar-
ter ended, the crowd went wild as
the two teams continued inter-
cepting each other's passes.

After the two classes staged a
mild pep rally between quarters,
the teams came back eager to
gain the victory. However, the
seniors seemed to click, increas-
ing their lead to 12 points.

Hazel Ellis led the scoring with
23 points. Kimmel had 21 and
Ann Peagler had 20.

Led by the scoring of Wynn
Hughes, the hard fighting junior
team upset the erring sophomores
31 to 17. The game began slowly
with neither team able to score.
The sophomore guards held the
juniors to eight points in this
quarter while the sophs them-
selves could not sink their shots.
The quarter ended with the low
score of 8 to 4 in favor of the
juniors.

The sophs' inability to score
continued throughout the game
but from the second quarter on,
they had a new problem. The
junior guards, sensing an upset,
closed tightly around the sopho-
more forwards and effectively
blocked many of their scoring

attempts. Wholesale substitution
by the Juniors in the second quar-
ter enable the sophomores to close
the score a little and the half end-
ed 12 to 10 with the juniors still
ahead. The sophomores had com-
mitted a total of nine fouls in
these two quarters.

During the half sophomore man-
ager Martha Ansley had her team
on the court practice shooting but
even this did not remove their
shooting jinx. In the third quarter

the junior forwards Currie,
Hughes, and Conine played a ter-
rific game and ran their lead up
to 25 to 12.

Junior Martha Jane Mitchell
led her team in their defense. The
truest test of the juniors' ability
was their blocking of the desper-
ate sophomore attempts to get
back into the game, and block
it they did. The game ended 31-17
in favor of the juniors.

given in Presser Hall. The cast
will include Rose Marie Regero as
the servant; James Bane as her
master; and an additional figure,
a deaf mute.

Arrangements are being made
by members of the Art Committee
for an exhibit of student work
from the University of Georgia,
Georgia State College, Georgia
Tech, and Agnes Scott to be on
display in Rebekah Scott Hall
throughout the festival. On Sat-
urday afternoon an art panel com-
posed of Lamar Dodd, Joseph Per-

cuss "The Broader Aspect of Art"
in the Rebekah Recreation Room.
On both Friday and Saturday
nights at 9:00 an outdoor art
movie will be shown in front of
the dining hall.

Members of the Reception Com-
mittee headed by Katherine Jo
Freeman and Mr. W. E. McNair
have begun work on a campus
map for festival guests. They are
also making plans for accomoda-
tions of out-of-town visitors. Pro-
vision for ushers, direction of traf-
fic, decorations, and the picnic
are being made by the Arrange-
ments Committee led by Annette
Teague and P. J. Rogers. Chair-
men for these committees have
been selected and student aid will
be recruited as needed.

Workshop Supplies
Poster Necessities

For all young maidens with
Betsy Ross inclinations, Lower
House provides a means to utilize
those talents. In other words, there
are two sewing machines in good
condition in the top floor of the
Hub.

Anyone on campus is eligible
to stitch up those ripped seams
that she's been meaning to fix for
two and a half years. . .and almost
anyone is capable of making one
of the new sack dresses. Lower
House even provides the thread.

Another project sponsored by
Lower House is the workshop in
the bike room in the basement of
Campbell. Don't let the term
"work" shop scare you. It can be
fun. Just look in the large cabinet
for enamel and tempera point and
brushes for poster work. If your
production is larger than a poster,
you may have to supply your own
paint. The workshop is open to any
individual, but caters to organiza-
tions.

Headed by Martha Meyer and
Miss Ann Worthy Johnson, the
Publicity Committee has begun
its work by sending out pre-festi-
val announcements and organizing
off-campus publicity to be hand-
led by Ashlin Morris, and on-
campus publicity to be superin-
tended by Barbara Huey. Frances
Gwinn has been put in charge of
chapel announcements.

Modern Dancers Litz, Harrison
Appear !n Symposium, Concert

By Suzanne Heath Manges

For two days modern dance was the focal point of interest
on the campus. On February 24 and 25, the ASC dance group,
along with the dance groups of several other local colleges,
presented Katherine Litz and Ray Harrison, two eminent
products of the school of modern dance. They appeared in
concert on Tuesday night, after *

holding a symposium for the mem-
bers of dance group.

The dancers and their accompa-
nist, David Tudor, are on a tour
of several cities. Upon the comple-
tion of the tour they plan to re-
turn to New York.

Although appearing together at
present, both dancers are soloists
in their own right. Katherine Litz
began her study of the art with
modern ranee specialists, Humph-
rey-Wydman. She has worked
with Agnes DeMille and toured
with her company. Miss Litz ap-
peared in the Broadway produc-
tions of "Oklahoma" and "Carou-
sel" and she did the choreography
for the play, "Susannah and the
Elders." In addition to these acti-
vities she has done quite a bit of
television work, appearing on the
Dave Garroway and Steve Allan
TV shows. She has her own studio
in New York and she has taught
at several colleges. As well as
modern dance, Miss Litz also does
ballet, and both she and Mr. Har-
rison mentioned the fact the "you
never stop learning and studying.
Each appearance teaches you
something new."

Ray Harrison has recently re-
turned from London where he
staged the choreography for a
"smash hit" play which is playing
there at present. When he returns
to New York he will dance in a
musical Broadway show with
Charles Wydman, and he has
danced solos in "Allegro", "Out of
This World", and "On the Town."
Like Miss Litz, he is also a ballet
dancer and this was his first field
of study. Later he went on to
study modern dance with Hanya
Holm.

Their pianist, David Tudor, has
been Miss Litz's accompanist for
about six years. He has concer-
tized both here in the United
States and Europe, and in March

he will appear in a solo concert in
Greensboro, North Carolina.

In a traditional manner, Monday night the 1957-58 chapter
of Agnes Scott's Mortar Board tapped Wardie Abernethy of
the junior class as Mortar Board president for 1958-59.

Marching into the library about 9:30 p.m., clad in the black
academic robes, carrying lighted candles, and singing "Thy
Ideals," the present chapter of the

honorary organization tapped the
new president. With Wardie walk-
ing beside Randy Norton, 1957-58
president, the group then con-
tinued to process throughout the
dormitories.

Art Gallery Shows
Eichenberg Work

The art department announces
an exhibit of wood engravings by
Fritz Eichenberg, illustrator, litho-
grapher, and wood engraver, who
was born in 1901 in Calogne, Ger-
many.

After serious study at the Aca-
demy of Graphic Arts at Leipzig,
he travelled as an artist-corre-
spondent for various German
newspapers and magazines. The
influence of Goya and Daumier on
Eichenberg has resulted in his
facility in human interest charac-
terization.

A versatile master in the realm
of illustration and a sensitive ap-
preciation of great literature have
been indispensible in the illustra-
tion of some forty-five books,
among them Crime and Punish-
ment, Jane Eyre, Tales of Edgar
Allen Poe, the Brothers Karamo-
zov, and Wuthering Heights.

He came to the United States
in 1933 and is now the Chairman
of the Department of Graphic
Arts and Illustration at the Pratt
Institute in Brooklyn.

Committee Introduces Plans
For Revision of Point System

By Nancy Duvall

The committee on the revision of the point system has
completed the revisions and plans to have the system in full
swing by spring quarter. The purpose of the point system is
to distribute privileges and responsibilities to more students
and protect the individual from engaging in too many extra-
curricular activities.

Every office on campus is de-
fined in one of three categories
absolute, major, or minor. A stu-
dent may hold one Absolute, or
one Major and one Minor, or three
Minors at any time. Absolute of-
ficies include such positions as the
presidency of large organizations
and dorms. Major positions include
presidency of some organizations
and sub-officers. Minor officies in-
clude other presidents and com-
mittee heads.

The vice-presidents of each class
with an elected assistant will be
in charge of keeping the points

for their classes. Each student

will have two interest sheets and
a yearly record of activities. Files
will be kept so that committee
heads will be able to use the in-
formation.

The committee is now in the
process of mimeographing copies
of offices with their category
which will be posted in every
dorm and given to very house
president.

The committee that worked on
this project was headed by Julian
Preble and included Patti For-
rest, Mary Moore, and Dotty
Burns.

Student Government has also

ceding their senior year. The scho-
larship requirements are based on
criteria set up by the national or-
ganization of Mortar Board.

Agnes Scott's chapter of Mor-
tar Board was formerly known as
HOASC, established on the cam-
pus in 1916. It was installed as a
chapter of National Motar Board
in 1931.

Wardie is a history major from
Charlotte, North Carolina, During
her time at Agnes Scott, she has
served as sophomore representa-
tive to Executive Committee, Co-
tillian Club treasurer, a member
of the Granddaughter's Club and
International Relations Club, and
this year has been chairman of
Lower House. Wardie was also
listed on honor roll for both her
freshman and sophomore years
here.

The remaining members of the
1958-59 chapter of the organiza-
tion will be selected and announ-
ced during Spring Quarter.

Magazines Publish
Poetry of Professor

Miss Janef Newman Preston,
assistant professor of English, has
recently had a number of poems
published in various magazines and
anthologies. "How Like a Cleav-
ing Blade" and "So Pledged to
Faith" were printed in Poetry
Digest, "Poets Teach the Wisdom
of the Heart" in Wings, and "Wall
of Sand" in New Athenaeum. "A
Feather," "Kinship," and "Stiller
Depths" will soon appear in Mid-
rest Chaparrel.

Miss Preston is a member of
the Georgia Poetry Society and
the Poetry Society of England.

2 O THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS # Wednesday, February 26, 1958

A Neglected
Tradition

Last Saturday, in all of the excitement of Sophomore Par-
ents Weekend, Founder's Day dawned and passed with only
the slightest amount of recognition. The birthday of Colonel
George Washington Scott, founder of the Decatur Female
Seminary in 1889, was sadly neglected as other activities
dominated the campus scene.

For many years Agnes Scott remembered Founder's Day
with a holiday for the whole community. The 22nd of Feb-
ruary was declared free from all classes and the birthday
of the founder was celebrated with this one day of reprieve.

Last year, however, the practice of a Founder's Day holiday
was discontinued as the community, instead, commemorated
February 22 with Convocation. This one day of holiday which
used to be eagerly anticipated as a break in the hectic Winter
Quarter was taken away and replaced with a more specific
commemoration program.

And this year, Founder's Day passed without even a Con-
vocation service to commemorate Colonel Scott's birthday.
Many students were unaware that it was Founder's Day,
and others had no idea of the day's significance.

It is understandable that there should have been no recog-
nition of Founder's Day last Saturday, but it does seem sad
that there should have been no real celebration either on
the days immediately before or after. We seem to be gradu-
ally losing this traditional celebration as all the forms of
commemoration are being eliminated.

That the practice of a Founder's Day holiday was discon-
tinued for valid reasons we can feel certain. But it does seem
a shame that all recognition should cease. We hope that next
year there will be renewed recognition of the traditional
Founder's Day. L.S.

Quiet Please!

Although for some people libraries may have vague asso-
ciations with dark dungeons, it is almost inconceivable that
anyone could have such feelings about the Agnes Scott
library which has recently begun to bear some ressemblances
to a fun house.

While, on the whole, things are rather quiet in the upper
reading room and the stacks, the tone is definitely gayer in
the reserve room with a new show every Friday night. Be-
ginning a little after 7:00 when congenial groups settle at
their favorite tables after exchanging greetings, gum, and
gossip, the tempo gradually increases until it reaches the
nightly norm of hilarity and informality. Against the back-
ground of the rustling of pages, the crackling of a candy wrap-
per, and the hum of conversation, broken only by an occa-
sional outburst of laughter, are performed a succession of
pantomimes and practical jokes to pass the time until the
sound of the gong at 10:00.

Of course it is good to see students enjoying their work (?)
hut the question arises about the proper proportions in this
mixture of business and pleasure. As the end of the quarter
nears, perhaps it might be better for us individually and as
a group if we put new limits on our library entertainment.

Le ters to Editor

Alexander Commends News;
Seniors Question Male Visit

Dear Editor,

As chairman of Religious Em-
phasis week, I would like to pre-
sonally thank you and your staff
for the splendid job which was
done in news coverage of Religious
Emphasis week. I am so grate-
ful for what you did through this
medium in letting the campus
know the plans that had been
made for this week of religious
emphasis. To have devoted so
much space in the paper indicates.
I think, the importance you felt
that the week holds for us.

Cooperative Efforts

R. E. Week this year has been
an experience for our entire com-
munity which none of us will for-
get soon. No single person can
take the thanks for what has
been done here this week. I would
like to say here publicly that I
certainly could feel no personal
satisfaction for this week had it
not been for the complete co-
operation of students, faculty, and
administration. It has thrilled me
to experience the wonderful sup-
port which I received from the
entire campus and because I could
never thank all of you personally,
I wanted to express my apprecia-
tion in this letter.

The "News" is to be especially
congratulated for its excellent
support through the wide coverage
it gave to Religious Emphasis
week. Both the editorial and the
news articles added a lot to our
all feeling a real part of R. E.
Week this year.

Sincerely yours,

Nancy Alexander, Chairman

Religious Emphasis Week

Has not the time come for a
statement to be made to the stu-
dent body by authorities concern-
ing the night male visitors which
have successfully entered our
dorms? We feel the students here
should be informed about the three
i oJ lowing items.

Fi:st, we think it is absolutely
necessary that every student know
what procedure to follow in the
event of an emergency. Should wt
call the D. O., Mr. Rogers, the fire
department? Where on campus
can we find a night watchman?
Since this has become a too fre-
quent occurrence we feel that
such steps should be as weli
known as the fire drill procedure.

We feel, too, that of the whole
story were made clear it would
cut down on the exaggerations and
rumors which have developed and
which could prove harmful to the
college community. We also feel
that the uneasiness caused b>
rumors would be prevented by the
knowledge of the actual situation.

We would like to know, thirdly,
if action has been taken to in-
vestigate these happenings. If so,
what action? If not, why not?
Surely, careful surveillance and
investigation would prevent simi-
lar occurrences in the future. It is
hard to believe that such a situa-
tion could not be prevented.

Since we have not been inform-
ed on these points, probably the 5
administration has a reason. How-
ever, assurance would be helpful
to the students. We have been un-
usually fortunate in the past that
nothing extremely serious has re-
sulted from these entrances.

'Damn Yankees Come South
As Symphony, Pianists Play

With the sign of the first robins, one asks if spring can be
far behind. Our hearts are filled with laughter and music as
we await the coming season.

Adding to our songs will be the music of the Pittsburgh
Symphony Orchestra at the Municipal Auditorium on Wed
nesday, February 26. The orches-

internationally Speaking

tra is under the direction of Wil
liam Steinburg. Appearing as
guest solo artist is Szymon Gold-
berg.

A native of Poland, Mr. Gold-
berg was concertmaster of the
Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra
when he was 20, a prisoner of war
at 33, and now he has just recent-
ly completed arrangements to as-
sume direction of the London Phil-
harmonic Orchestra during off
seasons with the Pittsburgh or-
chestra.

Symphony's Program

The program this evening will
include the suite "Gocd-Humored
Ladies" by Scarlotti-Tommasini;
Mozart's "Concerto in A Major;"
Beethoven's "Overture, Leonore
No. 3;" "Medea's Meditation and
Dance of Vengence" by Samuel
Barber; and Ravel's "Daphnis

cert begins at 8:30 p.m.

More music will be coming from
the Tower Theater on Thursday
and Friday, February 27 and 28,

certo Pathetique," Benjamin Brit-
ten's "Scottish Ballad," and "Fan-
tasia on a Theme by Thomas Tal-
lis" by Ralph Vaughan Williams.

Both of these concerts will begin
at 8:30 p.m.

Baseball Musical
Music of another and very dif-
ferent vein is coming our way on
March 7 and 8, when the fabulous
smash Broadway musical hit
about baseball, "Damn Yankees,"
will be at the Tower Theater. The
box office is open from 11:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m. The prices are: or-
chestra and mezzanine, $4.75; bal-
cony, $4.00, $3.25, $2.50. The mu-
sical stars Devra Korwin, Ralph

For all of you who like military
films, the theatres have a new
line up that will please you. "The
Deep Six," a Navy drama of a
young Quaker lieutenant, who is
called into active duty, is sche-
duled to open at the Paramount
on Thursday, February 27. This
movie stars Alan Ladd, William
Bendix, Keenan Wynn, James
Whitmore, and Dianne Foster.

"Paths of Glory," a World War
I drama, is scheluled to open on

Grand. This film stars Kirk Doug-
las, Ralph Meeker, Adolphe Men-
jou, and George Macreedy.

To round off the military theme,
"A Farefell To Arms" is the cur-
rent attraction at the Roxy, and
it stars Rock Hudson, Jennifer
Jones, and Vittorio De Sica.

France's Air Attack
Rouses Global Ire

By Carolyn Ma<rruder

WoJd-wide condemnation has
been directed against the French
nation as a result of France's air
raid upon the Tunisian village,
3aklet-Sidi-Yous*:ef, which left 209
casualties in its wake (79 dead,
130 wounded), a high percentage
of whom were women and child-
ren. In reality, the raid was made,
without refence to the Paris Gov-
ernment, on the initiative of local
air force commanders in Algeria,
who had reached a pinnacle of an-
ger and frustration because Tuni-
sia has been serving as a refuge for
Algerian rebel bands fleeing
French troops, in the cor text of
the Algerian struggle for inde-
pendence.

Gaillard Defends Action

The French people were appall-
ed on ethical and humanitarian
grounds both by the raid itself
and by the degrading political con-
sequences that followed. Neverthe-
less, this French reaction has fail-
ed, unfortunately, to show clearly
abroad, because Premier Gaillard
refused to openly admit his coun-
try's wrong-doing. Instead his
speech in the National Assembly
laid most of the blame on Tuni-
sia's President, Habib Bourgruba,
for allowing Algerian rebel forces
to use Sakeit as a base of opera-
tions.

Various explanations for this
cowardly passivity on the part of
the French government have been
offered. Some authorities believe
that the politicians' fear of the
army, who are said to be bitter
and resentful over the succession
of recent costly wars (Indochina,
Suez Campaign), kept them from
disavowing the Tunisian incident.
Others contend that an apologetic
stand would have provoked a
Government crisis at a time when
economic recovery and France's
interna H.onal position are both at
stake.

t Nationalists Enraged

B trying to "cover" for the
Tunisian raid Gaillard has suc-
ceeded in openly enraging the
North African Nationalists thus
pushing them Eastward towards
the Egyptian-Syrian camp. More
frightful, however, to the West is
the fact that France's stand on
this matter points up her own
inherent weakness to an alarming
degree, and so reveals her for
what she seemingly is a second
rate power who insists on cling-
ing to past dreams of grandeur in-
stead of honestly evaluating her
position in the realistic light of
contemporary global politics.

Alumnae 2

Seminary Alumna Progresses,
Doll Models to Saks Originals

By Caroline Miller

Saks Fifth Avenue is the address of one of the country's top
fashion designers and also of an alumna of Agnes Scott. In
fact, they are one in the same Sophie Haas Gimbel. And it
all began when she was a little girl in Atlanta, designing
clothes for her doll.

As head of Saks Fifth Avenue's
Salon Moderne, Sophie Gimble is
a noted artist, a supersaleswoman
and a successful business woman.
She is among the greats of this
country's designers of women's
clothing.

Born in Houston, Texas, Mrs.
Gimbel soon moved to Atlanta
with hei- mother and step father,
a Canadian surgeon, Dr. John
Alexander McLeay. She lived for
some time in Atlanta and attended
Agnes Scott when it was still
"the Seminary."

Her designing began when she
was only a little girl and designed
and made doll clothes. At nineteen
she went East and did designing
for several amateur theatricals. It
was in 1924 in Philadelphia that
she met Mr. Gimbel at a dance.
Early in 1929 she became asso-
ciated with Saks Fifth Avenue as
a designer, and soon married
Adam Gimbel, president of Saks.
In 1936 she started the now fam-
ous line of Saks Originals.

'Time" magazine describes Mrs.
Gimbel as "one of the top U.S.
designers with a razor-keen sense
of what women will finally choose

to wear out isi ,ne hodge-podge of
new styles."

Her style is to be simple and
unaffected. She does not like a lot
of fuss and ruffles. She says: "I
try to make a woman look as
sexy as possible and yet look like
a perfect lady." Many women want
to look like that. Consequently,
Sophie probably sells more clothes
than any other designer, with the
possible exception of her arch-
rival, Hattie Carnegie.

For designing, selling, and over-
seeing the 300 fitters, seam-
stresses, and others in her work-
shop, Sophie is paid $34,000 a
year. She puts in a concentrated
working day. Usually she is in her
salon by ten and works straight
through, often without lunch, un-
til six. Her working dress is us-
ually one of her own simple black
$300 daytime dresses.

Mrs. Gimbel herself still has a
slim fashion model's figure. She
keeps it that way by calisthenics,
by often walking to work from
her Manhattan house, by dieting,
and by plenty of golf.

During her illustrious career
Sophie Haas Gimbel has designed
the clothes for some sixty Broad-
way shows. In 1949 she was chos-
en as one of the ten best dressed
women in the world.

In case you would like to pa-
tronize our alumna, her selling
prices are from $255 to $1,500.

Les Blows Real Cool At Tech;
Emory 'Skits-O-Frenics Play

By Bonnie Gcrshen

The Class of '60 was really in its glory this past week-end showing
off the campus to all their parents. Saturday night many Sophs had
loads of fun hitting Atlanta's 'night-spots" and shows with Ma and Pa.

Kay Richards and Karel Kwass had, other visitors. Kay's Nat
brought a jeweled A.T.O. pin to his hostess.

Listening to the fabulous music of Les Elgart at Tech's Mid-winter
Dance were Suzanne Hoskins, Ruth Leroy, Mary Crook, Jo Hathaway,
Peg Fanson, Peyton Baber, Martha Bethea, Caroline Dudley, Barbara
Harrison, and Jane Kraemer. Judy Albergotti, Liz Shumaker, Kay
Weber, Betty Barber, and Nancy Hall were seen doing the latest dance
steps to this "neat" music.

"Holiday On Ice" attracted Wardie Abcrnethy, Lea Kallman, Jo
Sawyer, Nancy Batson, and Shirley Lawhorne.

Eating in style at Aunt Fanny's Cabin were Archer Boswell, Raines
Wakeford, Becky Wilson, Sylvia Saxon, and Carolyn West.

Several fraternity parties entertained Scotties. June Connally
and Carol Rogers were whooping it up with the K.A/s at Emory. The
Pi K.A.'s from Tech and Emory had Nell Archer and Bessie Murphy
at their "blast."

Taking in the skits at Emory were Maria Harris, Nora Ann Simpson,
June Connally, and Curt Swords.

What would be more fun than being snow-bound on a house party?
Mary Dunn, Boogie Helm, Mary Ann Henderson, Jane King, Jean
Salter, and Betty Lewis all agree that the weather didn't ruin the
S.A.E.'s house party one bit.

Traveling to the University of Alabama was Jennie Miller, Carol
Pickens and Barbara Baldauf helped celebrate Midwinters at Clemson.

The Pinned Club added only one new member to its ranks this
week Mary Clayton Bryan with her Sigma Chi cross.

Congratulations go to Betsy Hammond and Karen Foss on their
recent acquisitions of sparklers.

Susannah Masten, new sweetheart of Emory Sigma Pi, adds another
name to the list of Agnes Scott lovelies who serve as fraternity
sponsors.

Venturing into the sacro-sanct ranks of The Faculty, Dr. Garber's
Tuesday "classes received a cut last week due to his widower father's
marriage. The older Dr. Garber, minister of the Clifton Presbyterian
Church, married the Field Representative for the Board of Women's
work, the widow of a Presbyterian minister.

' H ow-To-Get-Th i rigs-Done 7 Tab
Typifies 'Secret Service 1 Work

Few people in the college community are aware of the
small group of representatives within the structure of Agnes
Scott's student government whose quiet services help to
maintain a smoothly-run campus schedule, and to provide
efficient service for students. Yet Lower House, composed
of elected representatives from

each hall of every dorm, meeting
every Wednesday afternoon, is
continually at work, seeking to
fulfill its aim as co-ordinator be-
tween student council and the stu-
dent body, and as a sounding-
board for suggestions and/or
gripes from the dorms.

Regular duties of Lower House
are often seemingly insignificant
to the observer, yet the function-
ing of such service is absolutely
necessary in a college community
such as Agnes Scott. Lower House
members are responsible for phone
and coke co-op lists every quarter;
they enforce quiet hours, and take
care of call downs; they hold fire

drills; make out the seating chart
for Wednesday convocation; and
post the infirmary list each morn-
ing.

These girls are in charge of the
sewing machines in the Hub, the
newly-established student work-
shop in Campbell, and the second-
hand book store in Buttrick. In
addition, they are the NSA co-
ordinators on campus, and often
meet with Exec. They are also a
vital part of the House Councils,
which serve to integrate the in-
terests of the various dorms.

Sophomores Capture Basketball Title
With Final Victory Over Senior Team

By Pat Stewart and Nancy Duvall

Playing before stands packed with their parents, the sopho-
mores Friday won the 1958 basketball tournament by defeat-
ing the seniors 29 to 27. In the second game, the freshmen
defeated the juniors 41 to 34.

The sophs were one game ahead of the seniors and juniors

'and numerous jump balls. Junior
guards were doing a good job but
the team lost the ball occasion-
ally.

The juniors worked hard to
diminish the 12 points that they
trailed. Freshman Roberts and
junior Maria Harris helped their
respective teams at the guarding
end. Gradually the juniors nar-
rowed the lead down to 7 points.
The frosh called a time out with
l 3 - minutes to play, and the jun-
iors came back determined to even
the score, but time ran out.

Ruth Curry had 25 points, and
Caroline Simmons led the fresh-
men with 17 points.

before Friday's games and cinched
the title by their narrow defeat of
the seniors. Led by the scoring of
Peace Fewell, the sophomores in
the first quarter scored 12 points
while the sophs' guards Duvall,
Norman, and Muse held the sen-
iors to 2 points. The seniors mono-
polized the ball in this quarter
but could not score while the
sophs quickly converted whenever
they got the ball.

In the second quarter Meyer
was shifted to forward and the
seniors gradually upped their
score to 10 points. The senior
guards were more effective in this
quarter but the sophs still man-
aged to raise their total score to
20 points.

After the half the seniors came
alive and the game ceased to be
a runaway for the sophomores.
Led by Ellis and Meyer, and then
by McDonald who substituted for
injured Meyer, the seniors began
narrowing the sophs' lead. Fewell
managed to score five points in
this quarter, so her team still led
at the end of the third quarter
25 to 18.

The fourth quarter was a scor-
ing duel as senior Kimmel sank
goal after goal only to have her
efforts matched by sophomore
forward Evans. Finally in the last
minute of the game, senior for-
ward Ellis sank her foul shot
which narrowed the sophs' lead
to only 2 points. With a half of a
minute to go, the seniors tried
desperately to tie up the game,
but they lost the ball to the sopho-

ended 29 to 27 in favor of the
sophomores.

The freshmen defeated the
juniors 41-34 to finish the 1958
basketball season. The first quar-
ter was a see-saw affair, both
teams passing well and making
shots. As the quarter ended the
freshmen led 12-10.

The freshmen staged their pull
away from the juniors during the
second quarter. Freshmen for-
wards Simmons, Peagler, and
High proved a good combination
as the frosh kept getting through.
Betsy Dalton was doing an excel-
lent job of guarding. Conine,
Curry, and Hughes made up the
junior attacking force and would
get through, but were unable to
sink as many goals as the frosh.
At the half the score was 28-19
in favor of the freshmen.

The third quarter was marked
by a great exchange of free shots

College Hymn Composer Visits
Campus for Musical Program

For those who knew Dr. Christian W. Dieckmann person-
ally when he was a professor of Agnes Scott's Music Depart-
ment, and for those who knew him in name only, Friday's
chapel program was an occasion for reminiscences. This pro-
gram featured Dr. Dieckmann performing his own composi-
tions along with Soprano, Mrs
Frances Stukes, wife of Dear
Emeritus, Dr. Guerry Stukes.

Dr. Dieckmann was a profes
sor of the Music Department fo
45 years, from 1905-1950. He came
to Georgia after studying orgar
and piano under private teacher r
at the Metropolitan College of
Music in Cincinnati, Ohio. After
coming to Agnes Scott Dr. Dieck
mann, in addition to teaching
piano and organ, taught all of
the music courses offered at that
time. While engaged in these nu-
merous activities he was also
writing his own music.

"Gaines"

He began composing music for
organ and piano about 1900, in-
cluding church music as well as
much of Agnes Scott's May Day
music. It was Dr. Dieckmann who
composed the melody of the
Agnes Scott hymn, "Gaines" In
1925 the Decatur Presbyterian
Church was celebrating its cen-
tennial and Dr. Dieckmann was
asked to compose a melody for
the words written by Dr. Mc-
Geachy. After he wrote the mu-
sic, the hymn was sung frequent-
ly at Agnes Scott, and eventually
was adopted as Agnes Scott's own.

The four numbers which Dr.
Dieckmann played in chapel,
"Song of Sunshine," "Adore t'e
Devot'e" (a composition on a Gre-
gorian chant), and the two num-
bers sung by Mrs. Stukes, "The
Prayer Perfect" and "The Lord's
Prayer," were all composed by
him.

Dr. Dieckmann's wife is an
Agnes Scott graduate and teaches
English at Decatur High School.
Mrs. Dieckmann was a pupil of
her husband's, doing graduate
work in music here at the college
when the two fell in love and were
married. They have kept the

family for their daughter, Adele,

she is organist at Holy Trinity
Episcopal Church.

mann continues to be active in
the community. He is organist at

Dean Posts News
Of Harvard Study

Dr. C. Benton Kline, Dean of
the Faculty, announces the offer
of a scholarship to Agnes Scott
students for the summer session
at Harvard University.

This full tuition scholarship is
awarded annually to one Agnes
Scott student, who in selected by
the College. Last year's recipient
was Carolyn Magruder. Dr. Kline
asks that those who are interested
in the scholarship see him by
March 15.

The summer session at Harvard,
which begins June 30 and extends
through August 20, offers a wide
curriculm. Dormitory accommo-
dations for girls are found on the
Harvard campus and at nearby
Radcliffe. Mr. W. Y. Elliot, direc-
tor of the summer school, men-
tions the large percentage of for-
eign students who attend the sum-
mer school, the number of well-
known people who conduct semi-
nars there in the summer, and the
nearness of summer theatres as
special advantages of the summer
school.

Dr. Kline also advises that those
who plan to attend any summer
school see him as soon as is pos-
sible to discuss their plans with
him.

Trustees Set $10,475,000
Goal For School's Future

By Betty Cline

While academically on a par with the best woman's col-
leges in the nation, Agnes Scott does not equal them in
financial and material assets. In June of 1953 a long-range
Development Program was adopted by the Board of Trustees
to ameliorate this situation.

Extending over a period of ten
years, the Program will culminate
in 1964, the date of the seventy-
fifth anniversary observance of
the college. At the 1957 annual
meeting of the Board the goal of
the program was increased by
$450,000 to the total sum of $10,-
475,000. Included in this total ob-
jective was $8,050,000 to be added
to the permanent endowment
funds of the college, and $2,425,-
000 for buildings, grounds and
equipment.

Since the Development Program
was begun, two new dormitories,
Hopkins Hall and Walters Hall,
have been built, and Main Build-

Students Gain New
Sunday Privileges

Student government announced
Tuesday night at house meeting
the extension of privileges for
Sundays. The practice rooms in
Presser will be open from 1:00 to
8:30 p.m. for use. Also students
are now allowed to use the bicy-
cles on Sunday.

Executive Committee unani-
mously approved the dress policy
as revised by Social Council. The
revisions are slight, mostly in
wording; but there is also the addi-
tion in the dress policy if or stu-
dents using the cabin. The policy
will be presented to the student
body early in spring quarter and
copies of it will be posted in the
dorms.

Exec and Athletic Association
are now in the process of formula-
ting the rules for the use of the
cabin. These concern the number
of students who may go to the
cabin and the number that con-
stitutes a minimum group at
night.

ing has been renovated. It is
hoped that the construction of
three much-needed buildings will
have been completed by 1964.
They are: (1) an additional dorm-
itory, with capacity of approxi-
mately one hundred students; (2)
a modem student activities build-
ing that would be the center of
student life on campus; (3) a fine
arts building with adequate pro-
vision for art classrooms, studios,,
and galleries and with class-
rooms, studios, and possibly a
small theatre, for Speech and
Dramatic Art.

At the present time three-fifiths
of the goal has already been at-
tained, much of it in the form of
foundation grants and bequests
from faculty members and friends
of the college. Over four million
dollars was left to Agnes Scott by
Mrs. Francs Winship Walters.
Tentative plans are being made
for an intensive financial cam-
paign in 1960-61.

Scientific
Challenge

Attending a dinner last Friday night sponsored by the
education committee of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce
and the American Legion Post No. 134 were approximately
800 persons to hear Dr. Wernher von Braun. Dr. Von Braun,
director of the operations division at Redstone Arsenal,
Huntsville, Alabama, and leading figure in the recent launch-
ing of the United States's first satellite, was present for the
dinner which honored 34 top Atlanta college and high school
science students as well as the Atlanta and Fulton teachers
of the year.

In the context of Dr. Von Braun's address he emphasized
the imperative demand that the U. S. take immediate steps
in following up this initial launching of Explorer, thus meet-
ing the challenge of Russia's increasing scientific achieve-
ments. He stated ominously that if more scientific progress
were not made by the United States, historians could event-
ually look at America and say in words of Arnold Toynbee,
that "as a civilization we did not meet our challenge."

Also an emphatic point of Dr. Von Braun was that our
schools are not simply places for boys and girls to learn to
play together. He stressed the great need for active interest
in science by students of high school and college level.

Agnes Scott was represented at this dinner by two senior
science majors, Joanne Brownlee and Lue Robert. These
students exhibit the scientific interest vitally needed in these
days, and, for their outstanding work, were included among
those students honored at the dinner. We congratulate them
for their recognition and thank them for representing Agnes
Scott in such a manner. L.S.

Unattended
Opportunities

Any girl who is at all observant during chapel periods
would tell us that attendance there has become very slack.
At the sound of the 10:20 bell students rush from Buttrick
to various places other than Gaines Chapel. For many this is
3 free period; or maybe it is a cramming session before the
next test. We are all guilty of using this particular time for
other activities.

But consider, if you will, the hours and the efforts that
are spent in planning our chapel services. They are not gotten
up on the sour of the moment; instead, some one of some
group has given careful thought in the selection of these
programs so that we will not only enjoy them but also gain
something of value from them.

Chapel-going should be a regular part of our daily sche-
dules. It is a definite responsibility that every girl is urged
to take when she becomes a student here. We commend to
you these special services during the approaching quarter.

Hall with a troupe of fifty danc-
ers known as Kanellos Ballet Hel-

Friday's program will include
a talk on the living tradition of
Greece and its relationship to the
Classical Age, three folk dances
in Hellenic rhythms, and an ana-
lysis and explanation of the cere-
monial dances and art similantes
of the Pueblo Indians of Taos,
New Mexico, with those of Greece.
Also three Dramatic Greek folk
songs will be compared with the

Internationally Speaking

'Soft-Spots' Plague
Red Policymakers

By Carolyn Magruder
Fallaciously enough, there some-
times seems to be a widespread
feeling in the U.S. that only the
West has foreign problems, while
the Russian leaders are able to
sit back and gloatingly watch the
free nations move from one crisis
to the next. Nothing could be far-
ther from the truth. A number of
foreign problems beset the Rus-
sians, revealing, perhaps, signifi-
cant "soft-spots" in what often ap-
pears to be an impregnable exter-
ior.

German Nightmare

Eastern Germany is one such
spot. The nightmare of Soviet po-
licy makers is the vision of a Ger-
many re-united, rearmed, and firm-
ly situated in the Western camp.
Moscow realizes that to agree to
reunification on the basis of free
elections would mean the end of
major Communist influence in
Germany. Hence Moscow insists
on the present partition, this mask-
ing her fears of "One Germany for
the Germans" - - no Russians in-
cluded.

The countries of Eastern Europe
present another danger zone to the
Soviets. The problem here, as Mos-
cow sees it, is how to get the West
to accept the permanence of Com-
munist rule in the captive count-
ries and therefore to give up any
effort to liberate these areas. For
so long as the West continues to
divert psychological warfare via
Radio Free Europe, pamphlets
etc. toward the area, the possib-
ility of another Hungary lurks
forebodingly in the Soviet mind.
Communist China

Communist China must also be
included in this partial list of So-
viet "soft spots." On the one hand,
to keep Communist China's friend-
ship the Soviet Union must pour
in capital for Chinese economic
development. Yet China's needs
are vast they could drain the So-
viet Union if all Chinese desires
were met. The Russian leaders
are also aware of the fact that the
stronger China becomes, the more
likely it will become a rival of the
Soviet Union for leadership of the
Communist world.

So far at least these problems
have been peripheral ones rather
than central to the conduct of So-
viet foreign policy. Yet each of
them deserves close scrutiny, for
inherent in each lies weaknesses
that could turn it into the broken
link in the Soviet chain.

Nation Recognizes Graduate's
As Mastermind Of Epileptic Program

By Caroline Dudley

In 1953 Agnes Scott Alumna Ceevah Rosenthal received nation-wide recognition for her
social service work in New York City and throughout the United States. The "New York
World-Telegram and Sun" described her as "a young woman who has been something of
a one-man-band in organizing a program to rehabilitate victims of epilepsy." It was through
the efforts of this Agnes Scott graduate that the Commission for Rehabilitation and Re-
search in Epilepsy was formed

and that a pressing and long-
existent need was met.

Ceevah Rosenthal first became
interested in social work while
she was a student at Agnes Scott.
During the early '40's Lawson
General Hospital in Atlanta was
filled with amputees from the war.
Ceevah and other classmates visit-
ed the hospital regularly, assist-
ing in teaching the men to dance
and walk on artificial limbs.
Study at Columbia

Following graduation in 1945,
with a double major in English
and Chemistry, Ceevah entered
the New York School of Social
Work at Columbia University in
New York City. After she received
her master's degree in social
work, she bacame a case worker
in the Neurological Division of
Presbyterian Hospital.

"Of all the human misery in the
hospital, the epileptic made me
the unhappiest," she said. "But
because of these occasional and
often widely separated attacks,
they had little hope of ever ob-
taining a job and living a normal
life. It was terrible to have to see
a 40-year-old man ask his mother
for money because he was an
epileptic and couldn't get a job."

At this time, Ceevah voluntarily
began to study all literature on
epilepsy and to consult authorities
on the subject. When she had a
firm knowledge of the disease and
its effects, she started her cam-

paign to help provide medical care
for epileptics and prepare them
for useful occupations. In due
course the committee to increase
services to persons with epilepsy
was formed under the direction of
Dr. H. Houston Merritt, director
of Neurological Service at the
hospital.

"One-Man Band"

But this was only the first step;
money and interest and work were
needed. Ceevah began talking
about her proposed program to
anyone who would listen, at par-
ties, churches everywhere. She
interested social agencies in the
program and negotiated grants
through the New York State Hy-
giene Commision.

The Director of the Henry
Street Settlement offered her the
use of a building from 9 a.m. to
3 p.m. daily if she would provide
her own workers. Before she
could move in, however, more ela-

Ceevah's dream was beginning
tc be realized. Before long CORRE
(the Commission for Rehabilita-

was established, an independent
group. Through solicitation and
grants, the program was financed.

CORRE offers expert training
in any one of twelve trades in-
cluding commercial art, steno-
graphic work, and welding. It al-
so serves as a placement bureau
for its students, who have no
time limit in which to complete
their courses.

As a result of Ceevah's efforts,
1,500,000 epileptics in the United
States are now being aided in the
long journey toward complete re-
habilitation and productive living.
In 1953, in recognition of this ser-
vice, Ceevah was honored with
the Norma and Murray Hearn
Social Service Award, established
in 1947 by Supreme Court justice
Murray Hearn and his wife for
distinctive performance in the field
of social action. In 1954, "Made-

its annual Merit Awards for her
outstanding work.

Navy Blues Bedazzle Dates;
O'Neill's 4 Desire Plays At Tech

By Corky Feagin

"I am just so tired of dressing up for these big dances!" groaned
Ramona Cartwright. "This makes the tenth formal I've been to this
quarter." Her sister Scotties glumly commiserated with her as she
put on "that old white tulle thing with the red velvet bows" to trudge
wearily on to still another dance.

At least one gal per hall went to the Navy Ball last Friday. Some
of these gorgeous gussies were Sally Fuller, Ruth Lercy, Linda Dancy,
Diane Parks, Gloria Branham, Mary- Grace Palmour, Kay Lamb,
Jorie Muller, Margaret Roberts, and Bessie Murphy. Others were
Mary Wayne Crymes, Judy Aibergotti, Lisa Ambrose, Helen Culpepper,
Jo Sawyer, Diane Foster, Ann Dodd, Alice Coffin, Carolyn Reid, Ann
McBride, Jo Jarrell, Kathy Kemp, Harriet Harrill, Marion Barry, and
Rose Marie Regero.

Saturday night Mary Grace Palmour, Julia McNary, Marty
Young, and Helen Culpepper swished around at the Scabbard and
Blade Dance.

The Druid Hills Country Club was the scene of the Tech Phi Sigs'
Founders' Day Formal where Nell Archer, Suzanne Hoskins, Martha
Bethea, Carol Promnitz, Jo Flowers, Laura Parker, Suzanne Orme,
Andy Lowry, and Susannah Masten played twinkle-toes and itchy feet.

At the Tech Delts' Rainbow Ball the orchestra played "Happy
Birthday" for E. P. Parker who had just turned twenty. Margaret
Goodrich, Hollis Smith, Wendy Boatwright, Beverly Delk, Ann Parker,
Betty Gzechowitz, Emily Bivens and Jody Webb were also at the
dance which was held at the East Lake Country Club.

Kay Richards, Virginia Aderhold, Sissy Baumgardner, Caroline
Ryman, Cynthia Butts, Judy Webb, and Anita Moses danced with
tuxedoed Tech Phi Delts at the Georgian Terrace.

Over at the Standard Town and Country Club, Grace Robertson,
Madge Clark, Kay Strain, Brock Hanna, and Barbara Kohn wore
the floor thin at the Lambda Chi formal.

Ann McWhorter and Peggy Wells took their fine feathers to the
Psi Omega Formal at the Progressive Club.

Watching the Drama Tech production of "Desire Under the Elms"
Saturday night were Mary Hart Richardson, Barbara Specht, Roxanna
Speight, Juanita Juarez, Ann Cobb, Scottie Maddox, and Jane
Kraemer.

June Connally and Peewee Fowlkes went to "Teahouse of the
August Moon" at Emory.

Paula Pilkenton, Jo Sawyer, Marian Walton, Jean Abendroth, Peg
Fanson, and Judy Albergotti ate with the Tech wheels at the Presi-
dents' Club banquet last Friday.

The international set enjoyed, a big weekend, too. Miriam Inbar,
Joan Byrd, Caroline Phelan, Clara Starnes, Carol Pike, Helen Salfiti,
Gene Allen Reinero, and Louise Vanhee went to an international party,
while Jo Stokes, June Hall, Pam Bevier, Linda Ingram, Rosemary
Kittrell, and Jean Brennan went Latin at the Pan-American Club
dance at Robinson's.

Spring fever enticed many of the "sistern" of campus to the Can-
terbury weekend at Conyers: Ruth Leroy, Dana Hundley, Liz Acree,
Caroline Mikell, Boo Florence, Betsy Boyd, Mike Booth, Liz Schu-
maker, Persia Lewis, Dee Conway, Josie Rhoden, Evelyn Schofield,
Virginia Thomas, Esther Thomas, Ellen Hines, Martha Massey, and
Gloria Branham.

Vital Statistics: Ann Scoggins is now engaged to a fellow at Duke.
Jorie Muller has a newly acquired Tech Kappa Sig pin; Ellen McFar-
land was pinned to a Tech Beta last Friday.

Also: Twenty-five per cent of the sophomores are pinned, engaged,
or married.

AA Offers Icy Fun for Campus,
Scotties Slip V Slide on Rink

By Pat Stewart

Agnes Scott is a southern college attended mainly by
southern girls. This fact was quite apparent at the Athletic
Association ice skating party which was held February 27
at the Belvedere Skating Rink. Forty-five Scotties tried their
luck on the slippery ice and quite a few were able to testify
the next day that the ice was very

hard.

Scotties showed abilities rang-
ing from a timid circling of the
rink, hanging desperately to the
railing, to brave attempts to skate
backward, and to one northern
Scottie's supreme ability which
earned her the honor of dancing
a duet with the rink's ice skating
instructor. The group stayed for
two hours at the rink.

Some of the returning ice skat-
ers ran for the nearest sofa and
collapsed. Others firmly declined
any chair, insisting that they real-
ly preferred to stand. Many had
trouble the next day moving sore
muscles, but all agreed the party
had been a huge success.

Sylvia Saxon won the singles
badminton tournament Thursday,
February 27 by defeating Archer
Boswell 9-11, 11-4, and 11-6. Bos-
well and Saxon are teamed in the

Organized Church

Dr. Shirley Gutherie, professor
of New Testament, Systematic
Theology, and Ethics at Columbia
Theological Seminary spoke for
Christian Association's chapel on

need of an organized church.

Dr. Gutherie studied three years
in Switzerland under Dr. Carl
Barth, noted philosopher. He has
previously spoken at retreats of
the youth groups of Decatur and
Druid Hills Presbyterian Churches,
and is especially interested in
young people.

But these need not be fascina-

the proper action, daydreams can
jbecome reality and materalize
into a very memorable summer.

On Thursday, February 27,
Christian Association sponsored a
display of brochures about sum-
mer vocations. It was hoped that
interest would be sparked by this
display and that it would be of
help for students who want to be-
gin to make plans for the hot
months ahead.

Miss lone Murphy, director of
vocational guidance, invites people
who are interested in locating
summer jobs to talk with her and
consult her information on various

On Gifted Children

''Exceptional Children" was the
topic of discussion at the meeting
of the Psychology Club on Thurs-
day, February 27. Mrs. George
Rice, wife of Dr. Rice, professor
of psychology, was the guest
speaker.

Mrs. Rice holds a master's de-
gree in clinical psychology from
Pennsylvania State College. She
told the group of her work with
feeble minded girls and her ex-
perience last year as teacher and
counselor at the Christopher
Rankin School for gifted children

Graduate's Recital

On February 28 the Organ Guild
heard a program of music present-
ed by Mrs. Sara Leathers Martin,
an Agnes Scott alumna.

To open the recital that was
held in Gaines Chapel, Mrs. Mar-
tin played a Buxtehude prelude
and fugue in D major. The next
numbers were modern choral pre-
ludes by Schroeder, "Christ is
Risen" and "Loving Jesus." She
also played "Ava Maris Stella" by
the French composer, Dupre. Her
closing number was the Bach Con-
certo No. 4 in C major.

After her graduation from Ag-
nes Scott in 1953, Mrs. Martin
went to the Southern Baptist

Kentucky, where she did further
work in organ. She and her hus-
band, who is also a graduate of the

Day Students Invite
Parents, Husbands

A tea for the day students' and
the Atlanta boarders' parents and
faculty will be held March 30,
1958, from 4:30 to 5:30 in the li-
brary. The tea will follow a piano
recital by Mrs. Gilbraith to which
the parents are invited.

A similar tea was not held last
year, but a poll taken among day
students and boarders from the
Atlanta area indicated that such
a tea was desired. Its purpose is
to give the parents an opportunity
to meet the college faculty and ad-
ministration.

Phia Peppas, day student chair-
man, urges the cooperation of all
the day students and Atlanta
boarders in making the tea a suc-
cess by helping with the arrange-
ments and by bringing their pa-
rents. Married students are especi-
ally urged to invite their husbands.

Glee Clubs To Offer Joint Concert

Actresses Aim For Masculinity;
Male Instruction, Exercise Aid

By Suzanne Manges

While the Art and English Departments are busily prepar-
ing for the Arts Festival, the production plans for the Black-
friars-Dance Group presentation of "The Tempest" are be-
ginning to crystallize. This is the first joint endeavor of the
dramatics club and the dance group

The parts played by the mem-
bers of Dance Group are inter-
woven with the roles of the actors.
Two non-Blackfriars members of
Dance Group have the parts of
Ariel and Stephano which are act-
ing as well as dancing roles. The
dancers will also be used to create
special effects, for the waves of
the tempest as well as the table
and feast for the banquet scene
will be composed of people from
Dance Group. Mrs. Berson and
Carlanna Lindamood, president of
Dance Group, are working to-
gether on the unusual choreo-
graphy for the production.
All Male Cast

With the exception of the hero-
ine, Miranda, "The Tempest" calls
for an all-male cast which is to
be acted by girls. In order for the
actors to interpret and act their
roles, they must create an "air of
masculinity." The girlish walk
and mannerisms must be done
away with completely. In early
days of rehearsal one dance coach
was heard to remark: "You are
all a bunch of little girls; you
must be men."

Personality Study

In interpreting her role each
girl must give her male character
definite personality. Alonso, King
of Naples, must be regal and ma-
jestic in manner as well a in his
movements. Ferdinand, the young
lover, must be youthful, yet at
the same time, strong and gentle.
The part of the spirit, Ariel, calls
for a gay, sprightly interpretation,
while the roles of the mariners
call for lusty, swaggering char-
acterizations.

To aid the group in working
out motions and action three men
have been called upon. Mr. Scott
Caligan, who has his own dance
studio in Atlanta and who teaches
dancing at the "Y" was the initial
coach. He worked on exercises to
strengthen the muscles to give
stronger, more forceful motions.

Mr. Emilio Zorilla who is a
Georgia Tech professor in engi-
neering and also a Spanish Fla-
menco dancer, assisted the group
in working together "as men."
Along with Mr. Zorilla was Mr.
James Dull who is associated with
the Physical Education Depart-
ment at Tech. Time and time
again has the cast heard the com-
mand, "Be strong! Be men!"

"The Tempest" will be staged
in a fantastic rather than an
Elizabethan style. There is one
set, designed by Eileen Graham,
which consists of units that may
be moved to create a different ef-
fect for each scene, and the action
will center around this set. Mar-
garet Salvalore is designing the
costumes under the supervision
of Miss Huper, who is working
with the people in charge of sets
and costumes for the production.

University Lecturer
To Speak On Bible

Dr. Robert Gram of the Univer-
sity of Chicago Divinity School
will speak at the first Convoca-
tion after Spring Holidays on
March 26. He is a University Cen-
ter lecturer in Bible and will ad-
dress groups at Emory, Columbia
Seminary, and the University of
Georgia during his visit.

Dr. Grant is internationally
known in his specialty, which is
early Christianity and its environ-
ment, and is the author of several
books, including The Sword and
the Cross and The Bible in the
Church.

Alumna Advocates
Inevitable 1 Position

Agnes Scott students should
take pride and satisfaction in the
responsibility of leadership after
college, since a liberal arts educa-
tion makes leadership inevitable.
This point was stressed by Mrs.
Jean Owens in her talk "Are You
Prepared for Leadership" in Mor-
tar Board Chapel, Friday, March
7.

Mrs. Owens urged students to
plunge to the limit of the point
system and to use every means
available to practice leadership in
preparation for their destiny.

Since society depends on the
services of voluntary organizations,
we do not have the right to with-
hold leadership.

Leadership has the rewards of
honor and satisfaction from worth-
while achievement, as well as the
hazard of overloading.

Mrs. Owens, an alumna of Ag-
nes Scott, was a member of Mor-
tar Board in her senior year. She
is a leader in church work and
community affairs.

Chapel, the mixed chorus, consis-
ting of one hundred voices, will
present, in English, the "Hora
Novissima" by Horatio Parker.

In addition to the joint concert,
directed by Miss Roxie Hagopian,
the Men's Glee Club will present
several numbers by themselves
ranging from Gregoriam chants
to current Broadway musical ar-
rangements. Admission to the con-
cert is one dollar for the college

Mental
Responsibility

One of the most enlightening and impressive experiences
offered annually to students of abnormal psychology is a
trip to the Georgia State Mental Institution in Milledgeville.
Georgia. For here, in appalling actuality, we see real and
penetrating evidence of tne tragic effects of mental illness.
We see actual victims of the psychoses and neuroses described
and explained in textbooks illnesses which often seem far
removed from us when we only read about them in books.

The Milledgeville hospital is the second largest mental
institution in the country. A gigantic project caring for ap-
proximately 12,000 patients, the hospital consists of numerous
buildings and facilities entailing a vast network of organized
personnel. Experienced doctors, nurses, and others trained
in the field of psychology give time, care, and sympathy in
an attempt to restore the emotionally and mentally ill once
again to a position of acceptance and respect in our society.

And yet, paradoxical as it may seem, there still exists
among the general population a feeling of grotesqueness and
general distaste for those suffering from mental illness. The
old concept, allying shame and ugliness with mental disorders
is still prevalent, perhaps subtly, yet still dangerous and
invalid.

Because of these general misconceptions, it seems impera-
tive that we who have the advantage of education realize
and propagate the basic true facts of mental illness in an
attempt to dispel these harmful theories. The responsibility
of a more mature, sympathetic approach and a more realistic
concept of mental illness lies with us. L.S.

The Voter's
Voice

Lc.sl year about this time, the "News" published a timely
letter by one of our more thoughtful students. Since elections
will be held almost as soon as we return from spring holidays,
and because of the evident general apathy concerning the
choice of school leaders for 1958-59, we would like to remind
the "old girls" of this letter and acquaint the new ones with
its contents, likewise.

"... I have been somewhat stunned by much of the election
talk around campus. It seems that the question is not who is
capable of such a job, but who deserves the honor. Someone
is romantically overlooking the problem...

"This is not a minor thing, this giving the 'honor' to one
of us. It is our decision. Our future depends upon us. How
can we, with a clear conscience, stand and grumble next year
.about something which we have done to ourselves?

"I am only suggesting that we seriously consider this re-
sponsibility, one that we must accept even though we are
incapable of the greater one. May we vote, not with our
hearts alone, but with our heads."

Today's issue of the "News" includes Vital Statistics for
Voters.' We are the voters. Let's be aware! CD.

Foreign Aid Prices
Draw Public's Eye

John Q. Public is notably reluc-
tant to see the coming of April
each year, bringing with its arrival
^overmental "April Showers" in
the guise of income tax forms and
figures galore. John Q., however,
as all good politicians know, will
succumb to the invei table mone-
tary drain much more easily if he
can be assured that the greater
part of his money will procure
concrete returns in suitable domes-
tic projects rather than seemingly
vanish into the bottomless pit of
foreign aid.

Foreign Aid Boost

President Eisenhower evidently
recognizes this financial fact of
life to be so, and thus, is making
a concerted effort to bolster his
proposed program of $3.9 billion
for foreign aid during fiscal 1958-
1959 as compared with $3.4 billion.
Of this amount $2.6 billion would
be for military aid to the U.S.
allies and $1.3 billion for econo-
mic aid such as grants for health
programs, technical assistance,
and numerous other projects de-
signed to maintain economic sta-
bility.

Last week top administration
officials and leading Democrats
got together at the Statler Hotel
in Washington in an extraordinary
bipartisan effort to build up need-
ed support for the foreign aid and
trade programs. Mr. Eisenhower
made a vigorous plea for the for-
eign aid and trade bills as "the
iron imperatives of security and
the building of true peace." Other
speakers included John Foster
Dulles, Adlai Stevenson, Harry
Truman, Thomas Dewey, and Dean
Acheson.

Hot War

Stevenson's words seemed part-
icularly significant as he remark-
ed: "The Soviet-Chinese bid by aid,
trade, propaganda, and subversion
to win the world's uncommitted
areas is far more dangerous than
Soviet missies or Chinese manpow-
er just now. This is the hot war
now and we have been losing
ground in the underdeveloped
countries."

So John Q. will be asked once
again to dig a little deeper for the
ally across the sea, and it is hoped
that his response will be an ade-
quate one. For as one speaker at
the conference expressed it, "The
Soviets would have the world be-
lieve there is only hunger of the
belly. Our great country must re-
cognize that 'not by bread alone
doth man live.' " This is the crux
of the question of foreign aid.

Council Schedules
Movie For Campus

"A Star Is Born" will be pre-
sented by Social Council on March
29 in the science building. Judy
Garland, James Mason, Jack Car-
son, Charles Bickford star in this

poignant story of the tragedy of
success and failure in Hollywood.
This picture was runnerup for an
Academy Award in 1955.

Each month, Social Council pre-
sents a film on a Saturday night
to provide campus entertainment
for the students. The charge is

ideal' College Senior Turns Journalist
To Edit Staffs Of Mile, N. Y. Times

By Mar y Moore

"Girls! Don't let anyone talk you into getting married just because you think that's the
only alternative to being a secretary. There are dozens of fascinating jobs jobs with fu-
turesjust waiting for the right girl to come along." With these words of advice, Mary-
beth Little, fresh back from a summer with the "Mademoiselle" Jobs and Futures De-
partment, greeted her fellow seniors in 1948.

Upon graduation, as if to prove
her point, she embarked upon a
journalistic career which in less
than ten years has brought her
to the position of editorial assist-
ant for "The Sunday Times."

In reality, the literary career
of this alumna began much earlier
With the publication of her first
book of poems, Silk from a Spool,
which appeared when she was
still in high school in Wichita
Falls, Texas.

These interests developed and
expanded while she was at Agnes
Scott where she was elected to
Mortar Board in recognition of
her campus leadership, scholar-
ship, and service. In addition to
writing the scenario for the 1947
May Day program and publishing
her second book of poetry, Under-
side of Leaves, she served as presi-
dent of Lecture Association and
president of the Poetry Club. Her
gifts were by no means limited to
the literary fields, however. While
at Agnes Scott she was soprano
soloist for the Glee Club, and
was chosen May Queen her senior
year.

to New York to pursue her jour-
nalistic career.

During the summer after her
junior year at Agnes Scott, Mary-
beth served as one of twenty guest
editors for the annual college is-

which helped her to secure a full-

ent post of assistant to Lester

Included in her advice on fu-

note: "It is perfectly proper to

In Joyful Post-Exam Exodus

By Corky Feagin

With exams beginning at Tech and Emory on Monday, there were
mighty "po-pickin's" in the line of a gay social life this weekend.

After nearly a hundred years of freedom, Atlanta was invaded by
"Damn Yankees" once again. Witnesses of the stirring event were
Mike Booth, Molly Schwab, Katherine Jo Freeman, Jorie Muller,
Christy Hages, Virginia Philip, Nancy Duvall, Bessie Murphy, Martha
Lamberth, Liz Acree, and, Corky Feagin. Others present were Sibley
Robertson, Martha Davis, Polly Brooks, Theresa Kindred, Harriet
Moses, Ann Peagler, Caroline Thomas, Suzanne Orrae, Ashlin Morris,
Martha Sharp, and Barbara Specht.

The closed weekend at Tech brought a thriving business to the local
motion picture industry. Munching popcorn and dodging bullets at
the Fox "Cowboy" were Willie Byrd Childress, Mary Jane Moore,
Dee Dee Doan, Eileen McCary, and Louise Vanhee. Meanwhile, Ellen
Hines, Esther Thomas, Anita Seldon, and Jane Kraemer were mop-
ping their eyes at "Farewell to Arms."

Iceskaters Judy Clark, Virginia Johnson, Rinda Gay Fovvlkes, Ginger
Marks and Marty Lair stretched and strained their muscles at
Belvedere.

Dinner at the Ship Ahoy and dancing at the Naval Air Station was
in order for Ruth Leroy and Gloria Branham Saturday night. Millie
McCravey, Lucy Maud Davis, and Janie Matthews spent the evening
similarly at the Paradise Room.

Tissie Rogers was greatly missed by Carolyn Tinkler, Kathy Flory,
Lang Sydnor, Mary Jo Cowart, Kit Sydnor, Joyce Thomas, Lue
Robert, and Sara Margaret Heard at Caroline Miller's supper party
Saturday.

Among the few parties were the Rambler party out at Knotty Pines
(Ann Parker and the Webb twins) and the Emory Chi Phi party
(Wendy Boatwright, Rae Carol Hosack, Martha Ansley, and Celia
Crook).

Marcie Tobey had a last fling at Emory's Campus Club Sweetheart
Ball out at Snapfinger, which was preceeded by a banquet at Mammy's
Shanty.

Tweedie Trammell returned in glory from a big weekend at Fort
Benning as queen of the OCS school there. She was piloted down and
back by her date in a Cessna.

Anne Newsome had a pre-vacation crack at Florida with a visit
at F.S.U. Anne Ashford and Nancy Hughes went up to Athens. Pauline
Winslow tripped off to Jackson, Mississippi.

Kay Fuller's visitor from Stuttgart, Germany, has promised to
provide a gay social life for Kay and her summer guests in Frankfort.

With the end of the quarter in sight, glorious plans for spring
vacation are being made. Judy Sawyer, Audrey Johnson, Sally Fuller,
and Janice Bowman will invade West Point and New York City.

At least a quarter of the population of the college is headed for
Florida. Louise Williams, Jane Kelly, Lee Davidson, Nancy Glass,
Martha McKinney, Alice Coffin, Ellen Hines, Bunny Henry, Rosa
Barnes, Julia McNary and Margaret Goodrich are all going to Day-
tona Beach. Karel Kwass and Bonnie Gershen will be in Miami Beach.
Kay Strain is having a house party at Coral Gales with Ann Ashford,
Madge Clark, Gail Green, Caroline Ryman, Harriett Higgins, Flossie
Gaines, Caroline Thomas, Brock Hanna, Grace Lynn Ouzts, Betty
Sue Wyatt, and Sallie Bryan as her guests.

Mike Booth, Betsy Boyd, Anna Maria Aviles, and Sara Kelso will
relax with Sissy Baumgardner on Saint Simon's.

The newest diamonds on campus belong to Betsy Boyd, whose
fiance is a Sigma Nu senior at Georgia Tech, and to Jimsie Oeland,
who is making plans for a summer wedding in Alaska, where her
fiance will be stationed with the Coast Guard.

Sophomores Accept Basketball Trophy;
Win Cup For Sportsmanship

By Pat Stewart

The basketball plaque was awarded Thursday in student meeting to the sophomore class
for winning the 1958 basketball championship. Following this presentation, Maria Harris,
Athletic Association basketball manager, announced the players elected to the basketball
varsity and subvarsity teams.

The varsity members are Martha Meyer, Hazel Ellis, Lang Sydnor, Maria Harris, Mar-
tha Jane Mitchell, Ruth Curry,
Peace Fewell, Nancy Duvall,
Betsy Dalton, Sibley Robertson,
and Ann Peagler. Those elected
to sub-varsity were Pinky McCall,
Nancy Kimmel, Susanne McMil-
lan, Becky Evans, Jane Norman,
and Sarah Helen High.

The class sportsmanship award
was then presented to the senior
class by A. A. president Martha
Meyer. This award given quarter-
ly, is now presented to a class
team instead of to an individual
player in order to improve sports-
manship among all players.

Volleyball

Next quarter there will be a
split sports season. Volleyball will
be played for the first three weeks
of the quarter and Softball will
be played for the rest of the quar-
ter. Both sports will be rated as
major sports.

This change has been made be-
cause the demand for volleyball
was felt to be as strong as that for
softball. The split season is being
tried this year as an experiment
to test the interest in both sports
and to boost spring quarter sports
participation.

On March 26 in tr.e ^ym at
5 o'clock the first meeting for all
players interested in volleyball will
be held. The volleyball games will
be played on April 4, 11, and 16.
On April 26, the meeting of those
interested in playing softball will
be held. This tournament will run
from May 2 until May 16. In each
tournament the teams will play
each other only once.

A. A. Board Replace Letters
With Silver Pins For Athletes

Members of the Wearers of the
Letter Club will soon have to adopt
another name, because no more
athletic letters will be awarded at
Agnes Scott.

Instead, Athletic Association
has adopted a new award a ster-
ling silver medal engraved with
A. S. C, the date, and the word
Athletics, which can be worn as
a charm or by itself on a chain.
Like the letters, the medals will
be given for an accumulation of 80
athletic points.

In the place of stars, for each
40 points above the initial 80, sil-
ver discs engraved with the date,
will be awarded. However, stars
will continue to be given to those
who already have letters.

The first winners of the new
award, announced in last Thurs-
day's chapel are Maria Harris,
Martha McCoy, and Runita Mc-
Curdy, all juniors.

A. A.'s decision to discontinue
the letters came because it was
felt that the winners were getting
no pleasure or recognition from
having them. It is hoped that the
new awards will be worn and dis-
played with pride.

mental hospital in the country,
caring for 12,000 patients with a
staff of 45 doctors.

The activities of this all day
trip began with a classification
clinic at 10:30 in the morning.
Agnes Scott students, along with
o thers from Emory, Georgia
Teachers College, and Georgia
State College for Women, were
permitted to watch and listen as
a staff of psychiatrists and psy-
chologists classified four new pa-
tients. First the case history of
each patient was read and the
results of psychological tests and
interviews were given. The patient
was then brought in for brief
questioning. A diagnosis of the
case was offered by the examiner
and it was discussed by the staff
until an agreement was reached.

After luncheon a tour of the
hospital area revealed a very ex-
tensive lay-out. Besides the resi-
dence halls there were some green
houses, a laundry, a paint shop,
a dental building, a gymnasium,
and many other buildings. Also
there were gardening areas and
well landscaped grounds. Much of
the work is done by the patients
themselves.

In the afternoon session, be-
ginning at 2:00, patients were pre-
ented who exhibited chronic symp-
toms of different types of men-
tal disorders. These were patients
who had been at the hospital for

many years and who were willing
and even seemingly glad to come
and talk to the group.

Three Agnes Scott girls also
ventured forth on a side trip of
their own. After receiving per-
mission from a doctor in charge,
they were taken on a tour of one
of the resident halls for women.
They saw everything from the din-
ing room and kitchen to the oc-
cupational therapy room. They
were quite impressed with the
cleanliness and orderliness and
the kind treatment given the pa-
tients. They talked to several of
them and also bought souvenirs
made by the patients in occupa-
tional therapy.

The girls agreed that the trip
was very informative ?.nd enlight-
ning, giving them a new outlook
on the care and treatment of the
mentally ill.

Five Seniors Receive Awards
For Study in Graduate Schools

Within this year's senior class there are five students who
have received scholarships for graduate study. They are
Jean Clark, Carolyn Magruder and Lue Robert, recipients
of Woodrow Wilson Fellowships; Barbara Duvall and Grace
Robertson, winners of College Teaching Fellowships awarded
under the Southern Fellowships '
Fund program.

The Woodrow Wilson scholar-
ship grants fourteen hundred dol-
lars plus tuition to the recipient
for one year of study at any grad-
uate school in the United States
or Canada. Jean will enter the
Philosophy Department at Yale
University; Carolyn, the History
Department at the University of
Pennsylvania; and Lue, the Bio-
logy Department at Columbia
University.

National Fellowship

The foundation is a development
on a nationwide scale of the
Woodrow Wilson Fellowship Pro-
gram established by Princeton
University in 1945. In 1952 it came
under the more general sponsor-
ship of the Association of Gradu-
ate Schools in the Association of
American Universities. A signi-
ficant grant from the Ford Foun-
dation in the spring of 1957 has
made it possible to increase the
number of fellowships to as many

Curry Urges More
Interest in 'Outside'

"College is the time for the op-
ening of the mind. It is a time to
become interested in what is go-
ing on 'outside.' You don't all of
a sudden learn after college." This
statement was made by Miss Con-
nie Curry, 1955 graduate of Agnes
Scott, as she addressed the student
body in Chapel Monday, March 31.

Connie, who is at present serving
as Field Secretary for the Col-
legiate Council of the United Na-
tions, an organization functioning
to promote more student aware-
ness of outside affairs, stressed
the imperative need for the inter-
est of American students in the
events involving the United States
and the other nations of the world.
She cited examples of apathy and
lethargy apparent among Ameri-
can college students and called for
an awakening of broader interest
and concern for the serious condi-
tions and affairs of the world.

Russian Born Sociologist
To Discuss Crisis Of Age

Dr. Petirim Alexandrovich Sorokin, well-known Russian-
American sociologist and emeritus professor at Harvard
University, will speak on "The Crisis of Our Age',' next
Monday evening, April 7, at 8:00 p.m. in Maclean Chapel. Dr.
Sorokin is coming to Agnes Scott under the visiting scholar
program of the University Center,

and his lecture will be open to
the public.

It is a rare opportunity for the
campus community to hear this
"extremely controversial figure"
and "stimulating" speaker, accord-
ing to Miss Mildred Mell, profes-
sor of economics and sociology at
Agnes Scott. She adds that when
Dr. Wallace Alston 'heard Dr.
Sorokin speak at a meeting of the
Association of American Colleges
last summer in Philadelphia, he
was "extremely interested" and
returned home with an "enthusi-
astic" desire to bring him to Agnes
Scott.

'Social Revolutionary*

Born and educated in czarist
Russia, Dr. Sorokin studied at the
University of St. Petersburg. As
a "social revolutionary" ("Time"
magazine) during the period of
the Russian Revolution, he was
editor-in-chief of the newspaper,
"Voila Naroda," in 1917 and dur-
ing the same year served as a

member of the cabinet of Alex-
ander Kerensky, Russian Prime
Minister in 1917.

Harvard Professor
In 1918 he was a member of
the Russian Constitutional As-
sembly. Forced to leave Russia
in 1922, Dr. Sorokin came to the
United States soon afterwards and
in 1930 founded the Department
of Sociology at Harvard Univer-
sity after serving several years as
professor of sociology at the Uni-
versity of Minnesota. He remained
as professor of sociology at Har-
vard until his retirement in 1955.

Dr. Sorokin is the author of a
long list of well-known books
covering his field of sociology.
Among the most well-known are
The Crisis of Our Age (1941),
Social and Cultural Dynamics
(1937), Social Philosophies of an
Age of Crisis (1952), and The
Sociology of Revolution (1925).
The last of these four works
evolved from his first-hand knowl-
edge of the Russian Revolution.

'Forty Men And A Girl' Share
Spotlight In Spring Concert

By Sara Anne Carey

Last Wednesday evening, March 26, "Forty men . . . and a
girl" the Ohio State University Men's Glee Club descended
on the Agnes Scott campus to present a joint concert of music
with the Agnes Scott Glee club.

The Ohio State group, under the direction of Norman
Staiger, is currently on its annual
spring concert tour. One of the
oldest college singing groups in the
country, it has appeared on the Ed
Sullivan show on CBS-TV and is
the only major college glee club
with a girl accompanist, Miss Aud-
rey DeCarlo, as a regular mem-
ber of the club.

Under the direction of Miss
Roxie Hagopian, director of the
Agnes Scott Glee Club, the two
singing groups opened the pro-
gram of music with the oratorio,
"Hora Novissima" (Cometh Earth's
Latest Hour). This work included
"Here Life is Quickly Gone," "O
Country Bright and Fair," "Most
Mighty, Most Holy," and "Thou
Ocean Without Shore" to complete

the first part of the program. For
the second half of the Oratorio the
two glee clubs, under the direction
of Norman Staiger, sang "Golden
Jerusalem," "City of High Re-
nown," "People Victorious," and
"Thou City Great and High."

The Ohio State Glee Club alone
presented the final portion of the
program. Under the direction of
Norman Staiger and with Miss De-
carlo accompanying, the visiting
glee club presented a program of
songs including "Credo," "Maiden
in the Wood," "Stars of the Sum-
mer Night," "April in Paris," and
"Campus Echoes."

Following the concert, the two
singing groups attended a party
in the Recreation Room of Wal-
ters Hall held in their honor.

Advertized Ideal

"Agnes Scott College ... A Christian Liberal Arts College
for Women where the best that a student has is demanded and
expected."

"Agnes Scott College . . . Characterized by academic vigor
and Christian ideals."

These phrases and others similar to it notably appear in
publications advertising Agnes Scott. In them is distinctly
stated the primary quality on which Agnes Scott is founded
the ideal of Christianity which has been fundamental in the
whole growth and development of the college. It is the
Christian quality which is publicized Agnes Scott as a
Christian institution which is advertised.

Because of Agnes Scott's outstanding Christian nature,
the activities of Christian Association necessarily play an
imperative part in the overall functioning of the school. To
strengthen this Christian aspect, CA. continually plans ser-
vices and projects which contribute to the religious develop-
ment of the college.

One of the most important of these contributions is the
annual program of Holy Week Services "designed that they
may become personal experiences full of the matchless
Power of the risen Lord, himself." C. A. has once again care-
fully and prayerfully planned services commemorating the
Easter season services which will evoke within us a spirit
of thanksgiving and humility for the events on which our
Christianity is founded. They are designed to stimulate in
us answers to the question, "What Think Ye of Christ?"

Christian Association has provided the resources for a
richer Christian experience during this Holy Week. Will we
make the most profitable use of them? L.S.

April Showers

Forecast: Cloudy with showers. With the arrival of the
usual April showers the majority of Agnes Scott students
will be seen traveling across campus under the cover of their
respective umbrellas. Also to be seen, however, will be other
students huddled in doorways and scampering unprotected
across the quadrangle because they have lost their um-
brellas.

While these girls are getting cold, wet, and angry, their
umbrellas are lying high and dry in the Lost and Found
along with a vast assortment of sweaters, coats, gloves,
scarves, and other articles lost on campus. By the payment of
a ten cent redemption fee, these umbrellas and other lost
objects could be speedily restored to their owners.

Operated by the Athletic Association as a student service,
the Lost and Found, located on the second floor of the Hub,
is open from 1:00-2:00 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday. This organization works well in collecting the articles
lost on campus, but only when the students fulfill the second
half of the purpose by claiming their possessions, can this
project really be a success. M.M.

Oscar Winners Play Atlanta;
Local Ballerinas To Pirouette

By Lil Hart

As we round the curve coming into the final stretch of
school for this session, our minds inevitably turn to other
thoughts along with studies. The entertainment world is
becoming quite alluring.

On April 18 and 19, the Civic Ballet will present a two-day
ductions will be "Green Alters" and

"Wings of Youth", which will high-
light the season.

The films this week hit an all
time high. At the
Roxy is "The
Bridge On the
River Kwai.'
This movie is
quite a winner. It
walked off with
six Academy
Awards along
with being named
the best movie of
Lil Hart the year. The
awards included the best actor of
1957, Alex Guinness, the best di-
rector, the best film editing, mu-
sic scoring, cinematography, and
screenplay from another medium.
With the background of World
War II, the plot deals with the
building of a lengthy bridge in
the jungle of Ceylon by prisoners
of war. Playing with Alex Guin-
ness are William Holden, Jack
Hawkins, and Sessue Hayakawa.
'Long, Hot Summer'
The next film, "The Long Hot
Summer," also boasts of an
Academy Award winner in its
cast: Joanne Woodward was
awarded the Oscar for the best
actress of 1957, for her role in
the "Three Faces of Eve." "The
Long Hot Summer," which opens
Friday, April 4, at the Fox, is
taken from a trilogy by William
Faulkner, a Nobel and Pulitzer
Prize-Winning author. The setting
is the deep South. The movie tells
of a wealthy, lusty family, and
of the newcomer who complicates
matters. Members of the cast in-
clude Joanne Woodward, Orson
Wells^ Paul Newman, Anthony
Franciosa, Lee Remick, and An-
gela Lansbury.

Rialto's Romance
Taken from the Herman Wouk
novel of the same name, "Mar-
jorie Morningstar" will open
Thursday, April 3, at the Rialto.
This story is of the romance of a
young lady of means in a summer
camp and an actor-musician-dan-
cer who has forsaken his family

Letter To Editor

Graduating Leader
Decries Unconcern

Dear Editor:

The lack of attendance at cam-
pus nominations seems sadly sig-
nificant of indifference unusual to
the Agnes Scott community.

Once a year campus elections
are held, and organization of all
student associations is established.
If the community constituency
does not care enough about its
leadership to participate in the
fundamental responsibility of citi-
enship, not one of us should expect
a hearing of opinion or suggestion.
We will in no way merit the time
and effort gladly offered next year
by student leaders I am not at
all certain that we even deserve
the privilege of self government.

As a graduating senior thor-
oughly committed looking to un-
derclassmen for concern for each
other and dedication to Agnes
Scott, I am disturbed.

Tall Reporter Gives
Personal Testimony

Editor's Note: This personal
testimony was submitted by one
tall reporter, good naturedly
lamenting the fate of "long, tall
Tessie."

It is true that overgrown fe-
males have certain advantages ov-
er the feminine members of our
sex. We can easily get things off
of high shelves, we have no trou-
ble climbing through windows
when locked out of the dorm, and
on Sunday mornings we can easily
stay one line ahead of the preacher
in his sermon.

But where does all this get us?
Farther away from the masculine
race.

What boy wants to dance with
a girl whose shoulder shuts him
off from the rest" of the party.
What athlete would sponsor a girl
who could easily carry him off the
field on her back? What man is
polite enough to share his hymn
book with a girl whose thumb cov-
ers two lines of music?

A long, tall Tessie spends her
entire life sitting in the back of
school rooms and knocking 'bas-
ketballs out of nets. She is likely
lo develop a permanently-bent
knee cap from posing for pictures
with more normally made com-
panions.

Her vocational choices are very
limited. An airline hostess can't
exceed five feet, seven and one-
half inches, and no boss wants to
wear himself out with a two-ton
secretary on his knee.

Ah, well. We headed string
beans can always be models, pro-
vided that we put dictionaries on
our heads and undergo plastic sur-
gery!

World Awareness

By Carolyn Magruder

"Each new development in the
field of science brings the coun-
tries of the world closer together.
These increased associations have
created a need of
understanding of
all peoples of the
world. We in
America need to
know what poli-
cies we have
abroad and how
they are receiv-
ed."

The purpose of
the first Auburn
Conference on In-
ternational Affairs, which drew
representatives from 18 southeast-
ern colleges, including Barbara
Varner and me, was ''to help
the people in our southeastern
states realize our world responsi-
bility and the problems confront-
ing us in assuming these responsi-
bilities."

For two tightly-packed days we
attended discussion groups and
heard addresses by a list of noted
speakers, headed by U.S. Senator
John Sparkman whose topic was
"America's Role in The Middle
East Situation." Frank Gibney,
senior features editor of "News-
week" magazine was another top-
flight speaker at the conference.
Mr. Gibney aptly analyzed the
changing character of the U.S.S.R.
since the death of Stalin, with
particular emphasis on recent de-
velopments precipitated by Sput-
nik's advent.

Education Necessary

The one point which impressed
itself upon us again and again dur-
ing the conference was that in the
world of today, precariously ba-
lanced between a cold war of dip-
lomatic "bullets" and a hot war of
inconceiveable destruction, no one,
least of all educated peoples, can
afford to be uninformed about
world affairs. We will never be-
come experts, and we will never
find ready-made answers, but we
wiJl be better able to maintain in-
telligent, non-panicky ' attitudes
concerning international problems
if we have the facts at our dis-
posal.

The Auburn conference was a
significant step, in my opinion,
in an effort to better educate col-
lege students for the responsible
role they must assume in tomor-
row's global dilemnas. It was a
challenging experience, one that
should be repeated and enlarged
upon in subsequent years.

Church, T, Red Cross Work
Take 'Jack' Around the Globe

By Suzanne Manges

Leila Anderson, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the class
of 1928, went from Agnes Scott to a job that has taken her
to countries all over the world. A native of Macon, Georgia,
"Jack" Anderson has held positions both in New York and
in various cities in California, and her work has carried to
many of the countries of Europe.

She began "Y" work in 1936
as general secretary of the YWCA
at the University of California in
Berkeley. She also served as di-
rector of the Institute of Inter-
national Relations and of St. Mar-
garet's House. In 1935 she was
named traveling secretary for the
Episcopal Church, and in 1946 she
attended conferences in Europe
that took her all over the conti-
nent. While abroad, she assisted
in planning the World Conference
of Christian Youth which was held
in Oslo, Norway. In 1954 Miss
Anderson was named assistant
general secretary for the programs
of the National Council of
Churches of Christ in the United
States. She is the first woman
ever to hold an important position
in the general administration of
the NCCC.

In 1948 she was appointed exe-
cutive of the college and univer-
sity division of the YWCA nation-
al board. This position entails

the administration of 616 "Y's"
on college and university campuses
all over the country. This position
took her to New York where she
lives at present when she is not
traveling.

In California she was active in
many community projects. Among
other things she served on the
Berkeley Committee for Civilian
Defense, the American Red Cross
Disaster Committee, and the Paci-
fic Coast Committee on American
Principles and Fairplay.

A very fitting description of
Leila Anderson was given in a
recent periodical, "She is a wo-
man with deep Christian and so-
cial conviction. She has witnessed
by her life and leadership to the
fact that the Christian faith is
not bounded by denominational-
ism, clericalism, or institutional-
ism."

Racing Fans View 'Cup Trial;
Greeks Entertain 'Comrades

By Corky Feagin

With sunburned faces and spring quarter exuberance, Ramona
Cartwright and her sisters returned to the budding campus after a
"simply fabulous" vacation.

Several returned with rings on their fingers: Sara Margaret Heard,
is now formally engaged to a Tech graduate now in Texas in the
Army; Caroline Phelan, to a Tech graduate in the Navy. Pauline
Winslow and Jody Armbrecht had their last gloomy days of winter
quarter brightened with diamonds Pauline, from a Tech graduate
working in Atlanta, and Jody, from an Emory med student. Shirley
Spackman and Celeste Clanton, with sparkling new rings, are planning
to join the ranks of doctors' wives.

Dana Hundley and her Tech Phi Delta senior celebrated the first
weekend of spring quarter by becoming engaged.

Meanwhile life must go on for the rest of the peons. Someday . . .

The Carolina Cup races in Camden drew many of the young social-
ites of the campus community: Peggy Bradford, Kay Richards, Caro-
lyn West, Beverly Delk, Mary Rivers Stubbins, Martha Jane Mitchell,
Charlotte Henderson, Bugs Matthews, Scotty Maddox, Barbara
Baldauf, and Nancy Stone.

Jean Salter and Joyce Seay ran down to Auburn for a Sigma Nu
houseparty. Ann Cobb flew up to West Point for the weekend to check
things over after last week's invasion of Scotties.

Marsha Lear's grandparents in Quitman, Georgia, played host to
Marsha, Judy Elmore, June Bennet, Pam Bevier, and Harriet Smith
last weekend.

Initiating the spring series of retreats and houseparties, the Dec
Pres bunch took off to Camp Rutledge for a weekend of swimming,
boating, hiking and meditating. These peppy "Presbys" were Shan-
non Cumming, Lisa Ambrose, Barbara McDonald, Carolyn Hoskins,
Lafonne Zimmerman, Pinky McCall, Claire Seaman, Kay Lamb,
Eileen Johnson, Cardy Howard, Marion Barry, Margaret Havron
Nancie Barr, Lydia Dwen, Tish Moye, Betty Mitchell, and Hope Gregg.

And then there were the stay-at-homes. The Druid Hills gang threw
a progressive supper Friday night. Enjoying the good food and hilar-
ious parlor games were Julia Kennedy, Carolyn Davies, Martha Sharp,
Betsy Lunz, Linda Nichols, Frances Johns, Ann Morrison, Sara Ann
Carey, Linda Grant, Ann Wormeldorf, Peewee Fowlkes, Margaret
Britt, Emily Pancake, Juanita Juarez, Roxanna Speight, and Paula
Pilkenton. Anonymous comment: "You should have seen Dr. Fry
sitting on a balloon that just wouldn't burst!"

The brothers at the Tech Sigma Chi house gave a communist party
Saturday night. Mary Jane Pfaff, Judy Albergotti, Martha Sharp,
Cynthia Butts, Kay Weber, Ann Tilly, Andy Lowry, Rae Carol
Hosack, Liz Acree, Liz Shumaker, Nancy Batson, Margaret Roberts,
and Wardie Abernethy were among the card-carrying members pres-
ent at the rally.

Over at Emory, Linda Dancy, Barbara Specht, Anne Whisnant, Jane
Cooper, and Ann Modlin were at an SAE rush party, while Beth
Fuller, Ann McBride, Lucy Scales, and Missy Moore revived the
roaring twenties at a Sigma Chi costume party.

Davidson men came down to see Suzanne Hoskins, Ruth Leroy,
Katheiine Hawkins, and Martha McKinney. Julia McNairy had a
Princeton man on campus.

Teacher Faces First Class Fatigue

Practicing School mar m Finds UN Field Worker . . .
New Methods, Old Excuses

By Caroline Miller

"Readin' an' writin' an' 'rithmetic," but not to the tune of
a hickory stick. Instead, this year's crop of practice teachers
have found television in the classroom, "green" black boards,
creative art, and motivated reading.

Being a "teacher" is fun, but it does have its trials and
tribulations. Among them are end-

less lesson plans, papers to be
graded and seemingly thousands of
names and faces to learn. And then
too, the faculty meetings and P.
T. A. meetings, the chapel pro-
grams to plan, and bulletin boards
to decorate.

Questions and Answers

After only a week of observing
and a little teaching, much insight
has been gained and even if the
students haven't learned anything,
the teachers certainly have. Stand-
ing in front of a fifth grade class
of thirty-five wiggle worms or a
high school history class can be
quite a frightening experience. Not
only do they seem to know more
than you do but they ask questions
that you couldn't possibly answer.
You soon realize that you aren't
as smart as you thought you were
and that "teacher" will have to
do some studying herself.

Discipline

One young Spanish instructor is
really beginning to get in the swing
of things as can be gathered from
a recent remark, "Today I fin-
ally got up enough nerve to tell

them to be quiet and you know,

they did!"

When trying to help a young
man in the fifth grade work a
math problem, the practice teach-
er had to admit that it had her
stumped, too.

Perhaps not looking quite her
usual dignified self for the mo-
ment, one high school teacher was
asked to leave the teacher's lounge
and was told that it was not for
student use.

Though you sometimes wonder
if the children could possibly be
as thirsty as their numerous trips

and girls will learn.

Young Musical Trio
To Present Concert

Three young American musi-
cians will present a concert of
chamber music in Maclean Audi-
torium at 8:15 p.m. tonight. The
program will include the first
performance of a new work by a
young American composer.

Richard Osiier, pianist, Roger
Drinkall, cellist, and James Wil-
son, clarinetist, who are making
their first appearance in the At-
lanta area, are sponsored by Con-
cert Artists of Pittsburgh New
Friends of Music. The dual role
cf this newly formed organization
is to aid young American musi-
cians in becoming performers and
to provide opportunities for works
of new composers to be heard.
Strilko Composition

Drinkall and Osiier will per-
form the new composition, "Music
for Violincello and Piano," which
is dedicated to Concert Artists
of Pittsburgh New Friends of Mu-
sic. The work, written by Anthony
Strilko, has four movements;
Prelude, Dialogue No. 1, Dialogue
No. 2. and Finale.

Other works included in the
program will be two Bach Pre-
ludes and Fugues, Brahm's "So-
nata in F Major, Op. 99," Stravin-
sky's "Suite for Clarinet Alone,"
and Beethoven's "Trio in B-flat
Major, Op. 11."

Phi Beta Kappa Honorary
Taps Outstanding Seniors

Recognizing the scholastic achievements of ten seniors,
the Beta Chapter of Georgia of Phi Beta Kappa at Agnes
Scott yesterday in Convoction announced the election of
new members from the Class of 1958.

Miss Elizbeth Crigler, secretary of the Agnes Scott Chapter,
read the names of the seniors

honored: Ann Stein Alperin, At-
lanta; Mary Byrd, Lakeland,
Florida; Jean Clark, Orlando,
Florida; Louise Law, Spartanburg,
South Carolina; Carolyn Magrud-
er, Augusta, Georgia; Phia Peppas,
Atlanta; Lue Robert, Atlanta;
Grace Robertson, Charlotte, North
Carolina; Celeste Rogers, Atlan-
ta; and Deene Spivey, Swainsboro,
Georgia. An alumna elected to
Phi Beta Kappa was Eleanor New-
man Hutchens, of the Class of
1940.

Miss Elizabeth Zenn, Associate
Professor of Classical Languages
and Literature, presented the Phi
Beta Kappa Convocation address,
centering her message around the
English poet, A. E. Housmen's
point that "the real reason a
scholar behaves as he does, the
reason he foregoes an evening of
television fare in favor of Aristo-
phanes, or Mozart, or a telescope,
is that his own particular work
offers more attraction to him."

Miss Zenn pointed out that
"while much scholarly work is
undertaken with a view to some
useful purpose, and much actually
develops some unforseen applica-
tion, the effective motivation in

the scholar is more often a com-
bination of curiosity and the plea-
sure he takes in his work."

The Beta Chapter of Georgia of
Phi Beta Kappa at Agnes Scott
was instituted on March 23, 1926.
Active members are Phi Beta
Kappa's from the administration
and academic departments. "By
election to membership the Society
recognizes students devoted to in-
tellectual pursuits in the liberal
arts and sciences who have rec-
ords of high attainment and
scholarly achievement in these
fields."

2 O THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS # Thursday, April 10, 1958

'Love of Wisdom'

One of the basic ideals of Agnes Scott which persistently
looms as a challenging goal for prospective students, fresh-
men, and upperclassmen is high intellectual attainment. For,
to promote and maintain a very high standard of scholarship
is one of Agnes Scott's fundamental purposes.

Yesterday in Convocation that aspect of the college was
emphasized as Phi Beta Kappa announcements were made.
Miss Elizabeth Zenn, speaking of the principles and qualities
which are fostered by that national organization, preceded
the reading of the names of those seniors who, in their four
years at Agnes Scott, have achieved the high intellectual
goals set by Phi Beta Kappa.

The first initials of the Greek motto, "Love of wisdom, the
guide of life," are the Greek letters, Phi Beta Kappa. Hence,
it is on this motto that the organization functions, recognizing
students who cherish wisdom and, in an attempt to obtain
it, achieve high scholastic pursuits.

By their election to Phi Beta Kappa these seniors have an
overt reward for appreciating the value of scholarly attain-
ment, and striving for it. The honor is one which evolves
from personal endeavor and work an honor earned by pur-
posive labor. Consequently, there ought to be a sense of satis-
faction or fulfillment in having four years of individual per-
severance and stability of purpose culminated in such a
manner.

The "News" congratulates these new Phi Beta Kappa's for
their scholastic achievement. L.S.

Lab Line Courtesy

Recently, as in past quarters also, numerous complaints
have been heard concerning the lunch line and particularly
the lab line. While this may seem to be a minor detail for
smooth operation in the dining hall, it is, nevertheless, an
important one.

There are times when girls, wishing to finish lunch early
and quickly, move to the lab line although they do not have
iabs. No student likes to stand in line and wait for a meal to
be served. But it must be remembered that there are those
working in the fields of biology, chemistry, and art who must
meet 1:40 appointments.

All of us sometimes have reasons legitimate ones often
for wanting to finish lunch early: there are 2:00 classes,
shopping trips, or lessons to study. However, for the courtesy
due those who have to be in Campbell and Buttrick Halls
by 1:40, it is necessary to wait until the main line reaches the
door before transferring to the lab line. Remember that con-
sideration to fellow-students may be shown not only in
classes, on the athletic field, in the library, but also in the
lunch line. H.T.K.

Graduate Wins Listing In First 'Who's Who;
Serves In Georgia Politics, World War II

By Caroline Dudley

In 1938, on the eve of World War II, Eliza King graduated from Agnes Scott, Phi Beta
Kappa, Mortar Board member, and elected life president of her class. Five years later, as
a representative of the Red Cross recreational division, Eliza was serving doughnuts and
hot coffee to battle-weary GI's on the front in England, Normandy, Belgium, and Ger-
many.

Despite two years of wearing
muddy boots, slacks, and army
coats, living in leaky tents, and
bathing from a bucket of cold
water, Eliza once on business
leave to Paris, headed immediate-
ly for Schiaparelli's where the
first fashion show in Paris in
four years was being held! A girl's
heart remains feminine war or no
war. But she commented then,
"It's a rugged life we lead, but
we wouldn't swap it for Paris.
We're proud of our muddy boots
and unpressed shirts because we
know we're doing the job where
it's needed most."

Many years later, Eliza remi-
nisced about her days as a club-
mobile girl: "I made doughnuts
from Liverpool, England right on
through the Battle of the Bulge.

I danced the jitterbug with mud-
covered GI's from Brooklyn and
the tango with those from the
Southwest. I wrote letters home
for them to every state in the
Union. But it was worth it and
an experience I'll never forget."

After graduation from college
in 1938, with a degree in history
and political science, Eliza was
one of ten women selected as in-
ternes for study at the National
Institute of Public Affairs in
in Washington, D.C. Later she
worked as a member of the Geor-
gia staff of the National Youth
Administration, and served in its
Atlanta headquarters until she
joined the Red Cross in 1943.

In 1945, Eliza returned to the
United States to marry her col-
lege sweetheart, then Sergeant

After Seven

City Previews 'Hot Summer;
All Star Forecasts Rubenstein

By Lil Hart

Here on our Scott campus three young American musicians
will make their Atlanta debut on Thursday, April 10, in a
chamber music concert. The three men, Richard Osiier,
pianist, Roger Drinkall, cellist, and James Wilson, clarinetist,
are sponsored by Concert Artists of Pittsburg New Friends
of Music. They will introduce a
new work entitled "Music for

Walter Paschall. Today the Pas-
challs, in addition to three daugh-
ters, are resident of Atlanta. Mr.
Paschall is associated with WSB-
TV.

Civic Activities

Since her marriage, Mrs. Pas-
chall has been active in college,
civic, and state affairs. She has
served as president of the Agnes
Scott Alumna Association, in ad-
dition to her job as life-long presi-
dent of the 1938 class. She has
been head of the Atlanta League
of Women Voters, and on the Exe-
cutive Board of the Y.W.C.A. In
1955 she was elected president of
the Georgia League of Women
Voters. In addition to her home
duties, and her outside activities,
Mrs. Paschall does a good bit of
speaking and writing mostly in
the interest of the League.

Last year Eliza King Paschall
was selected for inclusion in the
first edition of Who's Who in
American Women.

Internationally Speaking

Violin-cello and Piano" written
by a young American composer,
Anthony Strilko. Also included on
the program will be Two Bach
Prelude and Fugues; Braham's
"Sonata in F major;" Stravinsky's
"Suite for solo clarinet," and Beet-
hoven's "Trio in B-ftat major."
This concert will begin at 8:15
p.m. in Presser Hall.

Cinemattractions

In case some of the good movies
were missed last week, there is
still time to see them, for the ma-
jority of these popular films are
being held over. "The Bridge on
the River Kwai," winner of seven
Academy Awards, is at the Roxy.
At the Fox, a William Faulkner
story is showing under the title
of "The Long, Hot Summer." This
movie also includes an Oscar win-
ner, Joanne Woodward. Others
in the cast are Paul Newman and
Orson Wells. A screen adaptation
of Herman Wouk's best seller,
"Majorie Moringstar" is the cur-
rent attraction at the Rialto. Gene
Kelly, Natalie Wood, and Claire
Trevor are starred in this story
of a summer love affair.

For a forecast of entertainmen:
for the coming year, listen to the
All Star Concert Series line-up
Maria Callas will sing on Octobei
21. The Ballet Russe de Monte

Carlo will return for a perfor-
mance on November 5, and the
National Ballet of Canada will
present the full length production
of "Sleeping Beauty" on January
10. Eugene Ormandy will lead
the Philadelphia Symphony Or-
chestra on February 15. The
famed Regimental Band of Grena-
dier Guards will appear on Nov-
ember 18. Igor Besrodni. one of
Russia's leading violinist, will
make his Atlanta debut on Feb-
ruary 24, and Arthur Rubinstein
will close the series with a recital
of March 9. Next year seems to
be filled with good times, so plan
ahead.

Obstensibly, Americans, above
all peoples, should recognize the
value of a successful propaganda
program. For daily, we are sub-
ject to the most skillful and sub-
tle "propaganda" imaginable as
commercial advertising is shower-
ed upon us through every media.
Yet because most Americans tend
to label national propaganda as
"dirty" as against legitimate ad-
vertising methods, we are in dan-
ger of being edged out by the
Soviets in the crucial contest for
favorable world opinion.

The matter of the suspension of
nuclear tests has brought this
matter sharply into focus. Mos-
cow's announcement that she will
f unilaterally stop the making and
% I testing of nuclear weapons puts
the West in an extremely awk-
ward position, for Russia can
portray herself to the world as a
country which really wants peace
and is willing to make sacrifices
in order to attain it.

Soviet Initiative
Actually, this move costs Rus-
sia very little for the moment, as
she has just completed a series
of nuclear tests and needs time
to study the results. But, by tak-
ng the initiative on test suspen-
sions, the Soviet Union has put
itself in the position to make the
United States pay an especially
high political and propaganda
price for conduction of its im-
peding new series of tests to de-
velop a "clean bomb."

It is true that Russian propa-
ganda has a decided advantage
over American techniques because
Soviet leaders can afford to be
more unscrupulous than we, in
view of their monolithic, totali-
tarian system which need give no
thought to the complications re-
Bulting from free public opinion.
Yet the United States must exert
herself to conceive more daring
and imaginative propaganda de-
vices before the Soviets outwit
us entirely on this most vital
'cold war" front.

Cinderellas Attend Balls Without Fear
Of Pumpkins, Chaperones, Iron Gates

By Sally Sanford

When the recent example of yellow journalism, as practiced by our neighboring institute
of fine arts, flooded the campus, we were again permitted to read of the dubious esteem in
which Agnes Scott rules and regulations are held. Our fellow journalists made it plain that
to the realistic, forthright minds operating at Tech, Agnes Scott students are still existing
under conditions of the Inquis ition.

Times have changed, boys. No
more the iron gate clanging shut
on Cinderella at 9:00 p.m.; no
more the third degree for those
coming in five minutes late; no
longer, so liberal we have become,
is there even a decided stigma
against dates from Georgia Tech.

Those interested may be happy
to know that this quarter fresh-
men, hitherto required to double
date under the steely eyes of some
such chaperon as a roommate or,
worse, a junior sponsor, may now
single date. The "infante terrible"
has grown up and dating privileges
have kept up with the times.

For example, in 1912, students
were permitted to entertain only
near relatives on Sunday, "visi-
tors" being received on Saturday
afternoons from 3 to 6. Girls meet-
ing "gentlemen friends" in Deca-
tur were not permitted to go to
soda fountains or moving pictures
with them, nor to stand on the
street talking with them for any
length of time. During the first
quarter, freshmen going to Atlan-
ta were chaperoned by upper-
classmen.

By 1922 permission from the
Dean could be obtained for "auto-
mobiling" with men, provided a
faculty chaperon was included and
provided also that return was be-
fore afternoon time limit. The

Freshman Marlin Day and her date prepare to take advantage of the
freshmen's new single dating privilege.

Dean's permission was also re-
quired for freshmen to entertain
callers except in the afternoon or
Saturday night. (Saturday night
callers left by 9:45 p.m.) "Stu-
dents going out with men must be
on campus by 6:20 p.m., the ring-

Chaperonage was not only re-
quired for automobiling with men
but also for evening entertain-
ments in town, with a complete
list of the members of the party
to be filed in the D.O.

Undoubtedly Agnes Scott girls
all had large families in those
days, or great numbers of friends
from the Far West in town for
one day; for young men, with the
exception of relatives and out-of-
town guests "who have no other
opportunity to call," were still
not received on Sunday. Dancing
was allowed but a rather cryptic

Flappers Don Easter Sacks,
Flit For Visits, Houseparties

By Corky Feagin

After a wet, dreary Good Friday and Holy Saturday, the sun burst
out Sunday morning for a perfectly glorious Easter day complete
with blue skies and warm breezes.

It was a quiet weekend on campus, marked by well attended Sat-
urday chapel and campus Easter Sunrise Service, dyed eggs for
Easter breakfast, and the SACK!

Half of the girls evacuated the campus, spending the weekend at
home, with roommates and cohorts, or visiting best beaux. In the
latter classification were Nancy Alexander who spent the weekend
with Pierce's family in Jacksonville, Florida; Ann Blackshear, with
George in Huntsville, Alabama; Dana Hudley, with Davy in Nashville;
Ellen McFarland, with Charlie in Albany, Georgia; Sally Meek, with
Vernon in Richmond; Andy Lowry, in Jacksonville; Nancy Holland,
in Union, South Carolina; Maria Harris, Macon; and Betty Cline,
Greenville, Mississippi.

Brock Hanna and Mima Bruce went to Spartanburg as guests of
Dianne Foster. Nancie Barr had Gayle Rowe and Nancy Hall visiting
her in Rome, while Madge Clark had Nancy Hughes, Ann Ashford,
and Mildred Love with her in Macon.

The Webb twins had a houseful in Donalsonville, Ga.rLaura Knake,
Peace Fewell, and Camille Strickland. Mary Wilson and Jill Imray
descended upon Val Edwards in Kingsport. Judy Harrold entertained
Frances Broom, Pauline Winslow, and Pauline's fiance at her home
in Winterville, Georgia.

Kay Fuller and Marcie Tobey spent the weekend at Fort Benning

Seniors edge out victory over sophomores in last Wednesday's
volley ball game.

Frosh Stomp Juniors; Seniors Defeat
Sophomores In First Volley Ball Games

By Pat Stewart

In the opening games of the 1958 volley ball season, the seniors Wednesday edged
out the sophomores 33 to 31 and the freshmen defeated the juniors 40 to 28.

Due to an error in the tabulation of the score of the senior-sophomore game, the sopho-
more team was first announced the winner. A recheck of the score book revealed that
the points scored by the seniors in the first half had not been included in their final score.
The correction of this error placed
the seniors ahead by two points
in the final score.

The sophomores, led by their
manager Choon-Hi Choi, complete-
ly dominated the play in the first
half of the game. They led 22 to
6 at the beginning of the second
half. In the second half, however,
paced by the serving of Rudisill
and McDonald, the seniors man-
aged to score 27 points while hold-
ing the sophs to only 9. The game
ended 33 to 31 in favor of the
seniors.

The first half of the junior-
freshman game was very close
with the freshmen leading by only
one point, 21 to 20. Freshman
Marty Lair scored 12 of her team's
points in this half, while the jun-
iors' points were more evenly
divided among their players.

In the second half, the fresh-
men, led by Betsy Dalton, repeat-
edly managed to break the jun-
iors' serves while scoring 19 points
themselves. The freshmen led 40
to 28 at the close of the game.
Swimming

A spring quarter swimming pro-
ject has been set up in the gym
entitled "Test Your Swimming
Skill" and offering participants
an opportunity to earn a maxi-
mum of 4 points toward an athle-
tic letter.

Swimmers may test their skill
on stunts ranging from laps using
the basic strokes, to surface dives
and underwater swimming. The
number of points given will be

culty of the stunts completed. For
participation, swimmers will earn
2 points. Those who score "good"

3 points, while those who com-
plete the project wlil receive a
total of 4 points.

Saturday night and occasional
afternoon campus dates without
chaperonage. Juniors could re-
ceive callers any night except
Sunday. Juniors, if they met a
man by chance in Decatur (pre-
sumably one they knew) might go
with him to the movies or the
soda-fountain.

In 1942 things had progressed
to the point where dates might
be entertained in the Hub on Sat-
urday and Sunday nights provid-
ed a chaperon was in the building.
Also, Rebekah Scott date parlors
were then in use. Dates on campus
were to leave by 11 p.m.

By 1952 dating rules and time
limits were pretty much as they
are now. It was announced in the.

handbook that dates could be en-
tertained in the alumnae garden,
the quadrangle or other "designat-
ed areas" on campus.

Dating privileges have obvious-
ly progressed with time and every-
one, including residents of the
North Avenue slide-rule sanctum,
can be appreciative of .the fact.

Leaders Retreat To Capture
Spirit, Exchange Techniques

Sunday, April 13, at Fritz Orr's
Camp, Mortar Board held its Lead-
ership Training Program for cam-
pus-wide elected officers. Those
attending included old as well as
new officers.

The program began with a meet-
ing of the entire group at which
practical mechanics of leadership
and resources available to leaders
were explained. This was followed
by a meeting of specific groups,
such as presidents, secretaries, and

publication editors for a detailed
discussion of individual problems.

The program was concluded with
a vesper service led by Dr. Alston
and Mortar Board's incoming pres-
ident, Wardie Abernethy.

As stated by Randy Norton,
president of Mortar Board, "The
retreat is designed to get new
leaders into the spirit of leadership
at Agnes Scott and to acquaint
them with the resources which are
open for their use as leaders."

Celebrated Novelist To Arrive Today;
Thursday Lecture Will Begin Activities

One of the featured guests for the Agnes Scott Arts Festival this weekend will be the
eminent novelist and poetess, May Sarton. Miss Sarton will open the Festival week-end
on Thursday night with a lecture entitled 'The Holy Game: The Creation of a Poem."
On Friday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. in Rebekah Scott Hall she will be a member of a writing
panel which will discuss the literary pieces sent in by students from southern colleges.

May Sarton was born in Bel- , ^ r ^ _. ? r ~~ ,

gium near Ghent, the daughter of
Belgian-English parents. The Sar-
tons were refugees in the First
World War, going first to Eng-
land and then coining to this
country. They became naturalized
citizens in 1924.

Miss Sarton was educated at the
Shady Hills School, Cambridge,
Massachusetts, and at the Cam-
bridge High and Latin Schools.
She went into the theatre at the
age of seventeen. In 1936 her
first volume of poetry was pub-
lished, and since then she has been
a professional writer. In addition
to poetry, her work includes novels
and short stories.

Varied Career
She started lecturing in 1940,
and her assignments have taken
her over most of the United
States. During 1941-42 she wrote
scripts for the Overseas Film Unit,
and from 1950-53 she was Briggs-
Copeland Instructor in English
Composition at Harvard Univer-
sity. In 1953 she was awarded a
year's fellowship in creative writ-
ing by Bryn Mawr College, the
Lucy Martin Donnely Fellowship.
In 1954-1955 she was a Guggen-
heim Fellow in poetry.

Miss Sarton has been the reci-
pient of many honors and prizes
for her work, among them the
Golden Rose, of the New England
Poetry Society and the Reynolds
Lyric Award from the Poetry So-
ciety of America.

Her two recently published
works, The Birth of a Grandfather
and In Time Like Air, a book of
poems, were nominated for the
1957 Book Award. A consistent
contributor to "The New Yorker,"
she also has written short stories
for "Harper's Bazaar," "Town and

Country," "Woman's Day,
the "Ladies' Home Journal."

Her works also include En-
counter In April, The Land of
Silence, and The Lion and The
Rose, books of poetry, and The
Single Hound, Shadow of A Man,
and Faithful Are The Wounds,
novels.

May Sarton

and

Group presidents confer at leadership training session held at Fritz
Orr's camp Sunday.

Noted Artists Offer
Panels, Exhibitions

Movies, exhibits, and a panel
discussion will be the main attrac-
tions of the Agnes Scott Art De-
partment during the Arts Festival
this weekend.

Throughout the festival the de-
partment will sponsor an art ex-
hibit composed of work from the
University of Georgia, Georgia
State College, and the Georgia
Tech Architecture Department, as
well as from Agnes Scott's own
department. In addition to this,
there will be a separate collection
of works by Lamar Dodd, of the
University of Georgia; Joseph Per^
rin, from Georgia State; Paul Hef-
fernan, of Tech; and Caroline
Becknell, an interior decorator in
Atlanta.

On Saturday afternoon at 2:30
p.m. these four will participate in
a panel discussion, "Art in Soci-
ety'" which will be moderated by
Miss Marie Huper of the Agnes
Scott Art Department. Following
the discussion students are invited
to talk about the exhibit at a cof-
fee. All of these events will be held
in Rebekah Scott Hall.

Friday and Saturday nights at
9:00 the dining hall steps will be
the scene of a short movie on vari-
ous aspects of art.

2 O THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday. April 16, 195S

Bequeathed Aims

This time last year it was we who were hesitantly, unas-
suredry, and even fearfully taking our seats behind the old
typewriters to pound out our first "Agnes Scott News." With
an eager desire to put out a paper far superior to any other
ever printed, but with a great deal of anxiety and perplexity
as to the exact precedure of performing such a remarkable
feat, we went to work, only conscious of the goals and stand-
ards which we ourselves had set for "our" newspaper.

Now, our year of the "News" is completed and it is with
mixed emotions that we give it up. A great deal has gone on
in the process of publishing "our" paper. Unexpected frustra-
tions, conflicts, and problems have at times sent us into mild
states of manic behavior, while, on smoother evenings, re-
warding experiences have provided us more amiable feelings
about our paper. However, whatever the experiences, they
continuously evolved in an effort to fulfill our early goals
and have been fundamental in our growth as a newspaper
staff.

Today, as we look back over the year, we realize that many
of our early aims and ideas concerning "The Agnes Scott
News" have never been totally achieved. Many of our enthusi-
astic plans for a "superior" paper still are untried. Yet, we
have not ceased working toward those goals. It is with that
same early enthusiasm and ambition for a "superior" "Agnes
Scott News" that we end our turn at the typewriters, turning
them over to the hesitant, fearful fingers of the 1958, '59
staff. L.S.

Tribute To The Muses

In artistic expression, man transcends the world of which
he is a part to create an immortal statement in stone, in
words, in oils, in movements, or in music. The spirit of the
Golden Age of Greece has survived 2400 years to speak to
us through the strength and the poetry of the Parthenon's
tall-columned architectural monumentality. Homer's Achilles,
the great warrior, is today a man of dimensions as heroic as
when he hewed down his Trojan adversaries. The Hellenic
interest in the abstract ideal, the importance of the inner
life, is evidenced in the universally beautiful head of Athena
by Phidias.

Past civilizations have expressed their greatness through
their philosophers and men of arts and letters. In experimen-
tation, scientists have contributed new materials for use by
artists. The revival of stained glass in the eleventh century
made possible cathedral windows which told stories from the
scriptures in a blaze of color. In gleaming steel the soaring
of Brancusi's piece of sculpture, "Bird in Flight," portrays
the spirit of the Jet Age. The blending of scientific discovery
in materials with the basic rules of form can produce a fresh
and vivid expression.

This weekend marks the culmination of a year's devotion
to the planning and execution of a Fine Arts Festival at
Agnes Scott. All the creative and vocal elements of our
campus have been invested in striving for the best achieve-
ment possible.

A synthesis of several arts ballet, music, drama will be
seen in a new interpretation of Shakespeare's masque, "The
Tempest." The poets, painters, sculptors, and prose writers
from many colleges in the Southeast will gain invaluable
criticism from guest panelists who are experts in the art
world today.

The Fine Arts Festival is an endeavor to which everyone
has contributed, either directly or indirectly through money,
time, behind-the-scenes construction and committee work,
and in performance of art skills. Thursday, Friday, and Sat-
urday April 17-19 will climax a campus-wide project of
monumental effort. All that remains necessary for the suc-
cess of this ambitious undertaking is the participation of
everyone in the Festival events. These three days of dividends
on the year's investment hold
pus community. B.D.

"YA DATES IN MAIN."

Letter To The Editor

Promoter Urges Full Support
For Novel Spring Production

To the Student Body:

I am writing this letter unofficially; that is, I am not acting
as spokesman for my co-chairman or for any Festival chair-
man or committee member. I am writing as chairman of the
Festival so far as I intend to speak as one who wholeheartedly
believes in the first Fine Arts

Festival at Agnes Scott College.
Free Retreat

There are a few things you do
not seem to understand about the
Festival. Tickets are on sale in
the mailroom. These tickets are
for the production of "The Temp-
est" by William Shakespeare. You
need a ticket to get in at the
door but, faculty, students, and
administration get a free ticket.
In other words, the Festival does
not take any money out of your
own personal billfold. But, if you
wish to bring a guest, grand-
mother, husband, or baby brother,
that guest must pay $1.50 to get
in the door. There are no reserved
seats. You and your guests may
sit anywhere you like, and your
guests may also go to any of the
other Festival productions free, in
the same way that you may go.
Guest Price

Now, what is the matter with
you? $1.50 is, indeed, $1.50. but
if you went to the traditional
Dance Group program in February
for $.75, bought a reserved seat
for yourself at $.50 and for your
date at $1.00 for a Blackfriars'

with those who want to be in-
cluded?

Artistic Creation

And why have you groaned
about the agony of it all? It has
been hard work and it has taken
time away from many other
things, but for what a powerful
reason! Do not, please, look for-
ward to the three Festival days
with dread and anxiety. We "be-
lievers" know that each of you
who comes with an open mind and
heart will, at some moment, whe-
ther it be when you first walk in-
to the Art Exhibit in Rebekah,
when you talk over May Sarton's
lecture in the Hub, or during the
last act of "The Tempest," will
suddenly be filled with a thrilling
joy in the sharing of artistic crea-
tion.

'Your' Festival

The Festival does not belong
to us, but to anyone who will have
it. We have worked to give you
the best that we have to give; it
is yours to take or to throw away.

Please come, and come in a
festival mood. And bring your pro-
am!

Sincerely,

Nancy Read Kimmel

Internationally Speaking

Danger of Illusions
Threatens Security

As prospects of a summit meet-
ing loom before us, it is more ur-
gent than ever that the American
people should approach negotia-
tions without doubts, and above all,
without illusions. Illusions about
the Soviet Union and foreign af-
fairs, in general, have cost us dear-
ly in the past. If we are to reach
top-level settlements which serve
our basic interests, we must base
our present policy on facts, not
on wishful thinking.

One of the illusions that con-
stantly plagues us is a tendency
to resolve the conflict between the
free world and the Communist
world into one between our abso-
lute good and their absolute evil.
International relations, however,
can rarely be reduced to such un-
yielding dichotomies. Thus to im-
ply that we have a moral or reli-
gious obligation to wipe the blight
of Communism out of existence
denotes an unrealistic attitude on
our part.

Communist Advances

For, whether we care to admit
it or not, the abhorrent Commun-
istic system has brought major ad-
vances in industrialization, in edu-
cation, and in health programs to
the Russian people, who have even
been inspired to become virtually
religious fanatics on its behalf. We
believe, and rightly so, that these
people have been deluded, but we
must try and understand the delu-
sion rather than merely to de-
nounce it in hollow moralistic
tones.

Russia today is more powerful
than ever before in its history,
while its prestige in the underde-
veloped countries is at an all-time
peak. Furthermore, contrary to
another popular American illu-
sion, the latest government con-
solidation under Khruschev makes
it more unlikely than ever that the
Soviet Union will shortly collapse
either because of struggles among
its leaders or because of internal
revolutions.

Enormous Assets

Even this scant glance at inter-
national realities and illusions
seems extremely disheartening un-
less we remember that we and our
allies are still the richest and most
productive, both materially and
spiritually, sections of the human
race. Enormous assets lie waiting
for our utilization. When will we
adjust ourselves realistically to the
changing nature of the world
struggle and employ these assets
as effectively and imaginatively as
it lies within our capacity to do?

Original Dances To Highlight Weekend
Festival Presentation Of The Tempest'

The rising of the curtain at 8:30 on Friday and Saturday nights for the Dance Group
Blackfriars dramatic production will mark the first joint endeavor of the two groups. Ori-
ginal dances will be interwoven with the acting roles in the presentation of William Shake-
speare's "The Tempest."

Following the plot, a storm-tossed ship is wrecked on an enchanted island inhabited by
Prospero and his daughter, Miran-
da, and Caliban, a deformed and I p
brutish slave. During the storm M

Prospero tells Miranda of his pas
life: Formerly he had been Duke
of Milan, but had been supplanted
by his brother, Antonio, aided by
Alonso, King of Naples. The con-
spirators had not killed Prospero
outright but had set him adrift
in the open sea with his three year
old daughter. By luck they safely
reached the island where Prospero
had spent twelve years in the ed-
ucation of Miranda and his own
study of magic. Strange chance
has sent the conspirators to Pros-
pero in a ship wrecked in the
tempest raised by his magic.
Ferdinand, the King's son becomes
separated from the rest of the
group and is brought to Prospero's
cell where he and Miranda fall in
love.

Act II

The shipwreck victims roam the
island until all but Sebastian and
Antonio are put to sleep by the
spirit Ariel. They now plot to
murder the King while Stephano
and Trinculo discover Caliban.

Act III

These last named plot to seize
the island. At his cell Prospero
sets Ferdinand to the task of
carrying and piling logs to test
his affection for Miranda.

Act IV

Ferdinand succeeds and receives
Miranda; Prospero prepares to
combat the consiracy of Caliban
and his confederates.

Act V

The King and his company are
brought to Prospero who reveals
his identity to them. The King
begs his pardon and restores his
dukedom, and the party sets out
for Naples.

By Corky Feagin

"Nothin* but blue skies from now on!" It seems as though the rest

scene of the big Sigma Chi party. A few of the tribe were Caroline
Simons, Mildred West, Judy Albergotti, Mary Wayne Crimes, and
Mary Rose Speer.

Retreats are going strong, now, aud the Methodists turned out in
full force this weekend,: Georganne Richardson, Paula Wilson, and
Barbara Kolm (St. Mark's) went to Camp Daniel Morgan near Rut-
ledge. Georgeanne commented, "we danced folk dances' until we
dropped !"

First Methodist's went to Roosevelt State Park. Nancy Hughes, Ann
Avant, Joan Byrd, Marty Young, Grace Robertson, Ann Ashford, and
Louise Williams played soft ball, had skits and fooled around the
lake.

Decisive Victory Over Seniors
Gives Freshmen Volleyball Lead

By Pat Stewart and Nancy Duvall

In Friday's volleyball games, the freshmen gained the lead
in the tournament by decisively defeating the seniors 54 to 16,
and the sophomores emerged tied with the seniors for second
place by defeating the juniors 40 to 30.

No one would have wondered at the seniors' self-applied
title of "tired, old seniors" after

seeing Friday's game in which
the frosh outplayed the seniors
in the first half, and in the second
half completely tore to pieces any
remaining senior defense.

With such servers as Conner
and Seay, the freshmen at the
end of the first half led 21 to 10.
In this half the seniors lacked a
strong server and were unable to
offer any effective defense against
the frosh.

Second Half Rout

The secona naif was no better.
When the freshmen did not score
immediately on their serves, they
had the coordination and team
work to keep the ball in play un-
til they had pulled the seniors
out of position. Then they placed
the ball where a senior should
have been for a sure point.

Lair, Barr, and Kelso proved to
be the freshmen's strong scorer
during this half, scoring between
them 22 of the 33 points won by

the frosh in this half. Throughout
the game Betsy Dalton was excel-
lent on defense for the freshmen.
The game ended 54 to 16 in favor
of the frosh.

In the sophomore-junior game,
the sophs gained a good substan-
tial lead early in the first half
and maintained it through-out
the game. Choon Hi Choi's long
service gave the sophomores a
chance to pull away, gaining 13
points for her team. Later in the
first half, with Irene Shaw serv-
ing, the juniors gained 9 points.
After this rally, the half soon end-
ed with the score 26-12 in favor of
the sophomores.

The second half was marked by
more even playing. The juniors
scored 18 points to the sopho-
more's 14 points to make the
game end, 40-30.

Agnes Scott's being one of four in
the state of Georgia. The purpose
of this music fraternity is to fos-
ter an interest in American music
and composers, and to furnish an
opportunity for performers and
composers to be brought to the at-
tention of various musical circles.

The fraternity also gives Ameri-
can Music Awards yearly to out-
standing contributors. One of its
largest projects is the sponsor-
ship of an international fund for
the purchase of instruments, mu-
sic, and library equipment for
countries whose musical sources
have been depleted.

The Still Paint . . .

Those of us who attended Miss Sarton's lecture Thursday
night were deeply moved and inspired by the intense sin-
cerity and the energy with which the poetess spoke of u The
Holy Game." Particularly meaningful to us was the assertion:
"Poetry flows from silence, silence should flow through
poetry." From personal experience, this writer knows that
in order to create, she must possess a stillness, a quietness of
being within which "flows out into song."

Agnes Scott's first Arts Festival was a testimony of the
talent many of our students show in the fields of art, music,
drama, and literature. Yet why does our literary magazine
go begging for contributions? Why do committee chairmen
constantly have to recruit workers? Why is it that the same
people have the responsibility for every activity on campus?

Part of the answer lies in Miss Sarton's statement about
her poetry. She creates out of silence, as she expressed it. We
at' Agnes Scott are so hurried, so harried, that solitude and
contemplation are completely out of the picture. Yet, with-
out them, there can be little of the creative force moving
within that finds satisfactory expression.

Much of the maturity for which we strive is discipline, in
Large measure discipline of our time. Recognizing the need
for a fresh and vital creative spirit here on our campus, and
in our turbulent world let us not know "the unattended
moment." CD

The Secret Garden

One of the many attractive pictures in the old Agnes Scott
view book which the present upper classmen received as
prospective students showed a library terrace, a grassy area
with tables and sun umbrellas for warm weather studying.

At present, this "outdoor reading terrace" (1958 Agnes
Scott College Bulletin, p. 102) consists of a weedy expense,
with ragged daisies, a brick wall, and a locked door.

Why isn't this lovely "outer sanctum" used? Could it be
that the activity on the hockey field is too distracting? Is
the sun too hot for its use to be practical? Did books get
ruined? If these are the answers, then why not convert the
area into a sunbathing porch? Or perhaps biology majors
could carry on experimental work here. Possibly it could
be converted into another dating area with white, wrought-
iron chairs, a glider, a high-fi set, and a coke machine.

Seriously, the noise from the hockey field would not be
much worse than it is in the reading rooms and the carrels.
The heat would not be obnoxious in the early morning and
late afternoon. Also, why should mere heat discourage a
tanning scholar? The porches of Rebecca, Inman, and Walters
cater to rush hour business around noon. As for damage to
books, what worse can happen within the premises of the
library than in the sterile rooms of the dorms, which are
filled with cokes, perfume, shoe polish, ink, and other menaces
to the black and white page.

We believe that the pale students of this institution would
like very much to have access lo this sunny, romantic, intri-
guing, forbidden spot. C.F.

Letters To The Editor

Physician Lauds Co-operation;
Students Evaluate Weekend

Dear Editor:

After considering the most expedient medium through
which I might reach the students on the campus, I decided
that a letter to you would be best cf all.

All of you have known of my deep concern about the beta
hemolytic streptococcus which we
have been having on the campus
for the past three weeks and it
was only through the very ex-
cellent cooperation of all of you
that we have almost completely
eradicated the infection here.
There was a potential danger of
a severe epidemic affecting hun-
dreds of students, but this has
now been totally averted and
things are approaching normality
once more in the Infirmary.

I was impressed in almost every
case of the students who were
found to have positive throat cul-
tures, in the deep concern for
others: their roommates, their as-
sociates, their professors, and
homes where they had visited.
They exhibited unusually mature
viewpoints regarding this whole
matter and I personally have been
proud of each one of them.

This June will terminate my
third year as Physician at Agnes
Scott and I can sincerely say that
my relationship with the students
has been both enjoyable and pro-
fitable in many ways, and it is
with real regret that I have given
Dr. Alston my resignation. It is
impossible for me to continue my
practice and teaching appoint-
ments on the outside and do a
proper job here at the College. In
my stead has been appointed Dr.
Rosemonde Peltz who will assume
the duties of College Physician
in September, 1958.

I will leave the College and my
many friends among the students
this June, but my interest in all
of you and in our health program
will continue.

Cordially yours,

M. Virginia Tuggle, M.D.

College Physician

Dear Editor:

We cannot let this opportunity
pass without saying sincere con-
gratulations to Nancy Kimmel.
Miss Allen, the steering commit-
tee and those countless others
who made the recent Arts Festival
the success that it was! The fore-
sight and careful planning of those
directing the weekend activities
were evident from the beginning
event Thursday, May Sarton's lec-
ture, until the curtain came down
on "The Tempest" Saturday night.
The festive mood was created by
the advance publicity and the gay
decorations on campus; the varied
activities did not disappoint us
but rather far exceeded our ex-
pectations. Every aspect of the en-
tire affair was distinctive and so
well organized the art exhibit,
the literary panel and Aurora, the
chapel program, the charming in-
temezzo Saturday and the sup-
erior performances of the play.

We think the many hours of
hard work that went into the com-
bined efforts of different groups
on campus were well-spent and
that the enthusiasm of the col-
lege community for the Arts Fes-
tival justifies the time and labor
involved. This experience of the
past weekend was another first
and made us proud to be a part
of Agnes Scott. And so we say
thanks to Nancy, Miss Allen, and
her many helpers for a challenging
and fascinating Arts Festival.

Sincerely,
Proud Juniors

Reds Expand World Campaign
In Propaganda Bid for Support

By Susie White

In the past weeks as the Soviet
Union has been calling for an
end to the cold war, Communists
throughout the world have been
fanning flames of trouble every-
where.

In the United States, the Com-
munists have been trying a come-
back, moving in on race troubles
and using the business recession
as a means of party revitalization.
Concurrently in Europe the Com-
munists 'backed the picketing of
Britain's atomic-weapons research
center as well as moving in on
French labor unrest and worries
over North Africa.

Reds in East

In Asia the Communists, who al-
ready rule one state in neutral
Asia-Kerala pushed for further
gains by attacking major domestic
and foreign policies of Prime Min-
ister Nehru in a move to win votes
away from his wavering Congress
Party.

Activity in the Middle East has
become intensified as the Commu-
nists seek to pull that area closer
to the Soviet Bloc. A 15-man Egyp-
tian military mission, including
the Army chief of staff and its
director of military intelligence
was the guest of the Red Chinese

Army in Peiping. Egypt's Navy
entertained the Soviet Minister of
Manpower. An Egyptian industrial
mission visited Moscow for talks
on Egyptian industrialization.
Egypt's Arab Workers Union an-
nounced it will send delegations
to the Soviet Union, Red China,
East Germany, Hungary, and Yugo-
slavia for May Day celebrations.
Moreover, more than half a million
Soviet and Egyptian students will
fraternize under a new cultural-
exchange program during the next
two years.

Propaganda

Yet as the Communists have at-
tempted to tighten their control
over disputed areas, the Soviet
Union has continued its propagan-
da war against the United States,
accusing her last Friday of court-
ing global warfare by sending
planes with nuclear bombs across
the Arctic toward the USSR fron-
tiers on training missions. In a
new propaganda bid, the Soviets
demanded an urgent U. N. Securi-
ty Council meeting to air their
accusations.

It should be worth watching the
papers this week to see the out-
come of an issue potentially dan-
gerous and embarassing to the
U. S.

Wimbledon Champs,
Borge Invade City

By Mary Byrd

Scot ties will have the opportun-
ity to attend a top-flight sporting
event as well as a riotous comedy
program and several new movies
this coming week.

The Atlanta Invitational Tennis
Tournament will get underway
April 24 and will continue through
April 27. Dick Savitt, one-time
Wimbledon champion, who is now
ranked number three in the na-
tion; and Ham Richardson and
Tut Bartzen, former Davis Cup
stars, will be among the players.
Bill Quillian, tenth ranked ama-
teur of the nation, has also en-
tered the tournament as have
Frank Willett and Bitsy Grant,
leading players of the south.
Comedian-pianist

Victor Borge, comedian-pianist
will present his brilliant "Comedy
in Music" at 8:30, Wednesday,
April 23, in the Municipal Audito-
rium. The one-man performance
will benefit the Atlanta Music
Club's loan and scholarship funds.
Borge came to America in 1940
from Denmark, his homeland, be-
cause his lampoons of Hitler had
angered Nazi leaders. Since then,
he has had continuous successes
in show business with record sala-
ries and audiences. During 1957
he travelled more than 500,000
miles and played in 100 cities in
America and in Europe.

French Film

"Run Silent, Run Deep," a movie
taken from a best seller by Com-
mander Edward L. Beach, will be-
gin Thursday, April 24, at Loew's
Grand Theatre. Clark Gable and
Burt Lancaster star in the excit-
ing submarine story, which has
fine photography and which fol-
lows the book relatively closely.

''Four Bags Full," a French
comedy-suspense film, with Jean
Gab in and Bourvil will start at
the Peach tree Arts Theatre, Wed-
nesday, April 23. "Marjorie Morn-
ingstar" is still playing at the
Rialto, and "Teacher's Pet," is at
the Fox.

ASC Campus Swarms With Alumnae
While 'Old Girls Reunite. Reminisce

By Bonnie Gershen

"You haven't changed a bit in
all these years!" "How many chil-
dren do you have, and where are
you living now?" Such exclama-
tions were heard on campus as
alumnae returned to their Alma
Mater for Alumnae Day. Mem-
ories of college days at Agnes
Scott prevailed as old 'friends met
again, some for the first time
since the graduation of their class-
es.

(Before the annual Alumnae
Luncheon there was a reception
in the recreation room in Walters
with the faculty. Recollections
of favorite courses, term papers,
and exams renewed as "Alums"
talked to *the teachers, Dr. Alston,
Dean Kline, Dr. Stukes, and Dr.
McCain. There were many laughs
as the desperation of crises deal-
ing with academic work was re-
called.

Walters, the newest addition to
the college campus, was a must
for all touring "Alums." "Oh's"
and "Ah's" were heard as former
Scotties investigated the colorful
rooms, large closets, the living-
room, and basement. For many it
brought back memories of trying
to stuff everything from winter
coats to formals in small closets
and sleeping in beds which were

One alumna from the Class of
'08 could remember the "good 'ole
days" of compulsory long under-
wear, faculty chaperonage, and
no men except those approved by
home and belonging to the minis-
try. When told of the new social
rules she was elated that the
honor system worked so well to
give students more responsibility.

particularly enjoyed the memory
of an "unauthorized" fire drill. As
a result of this episode, they
cautioned present Scotties not to

Sophomore Martie Tobey checks schedule during busy festival
weekend.

Campus Has Varied Reaction:
Hot, Cold, in Arts Festival Quiz

A number of students were interviewed about their reac-
tions to the first Fine Arts Festival; the following are some
of their comments:

Kit Sydnor: The Arts Festival was a "great awakening. "
It was a fine opportunity for all of us to glance into the
different arts fields and broaden '

our knowledge and perhaps stim-
ulate interest for the future.

It was a tremendous undertak-
ing, well worth every effort.

Mary Hart Richardson: I feel
the Arts Festival was a success-
ful innovation for it was repre-
sentative of the best which our
college has to offer.

Boog- Smith: I enjoyed the Arts
Festival, but as a freshman I had
looked forward to having a May
Day. May Day is traditional and
without it something seems to be
missing from school life.

Carol Promiiitz: I thought the
Arts Festival was different from
what we have had. There was no
weather problem as there can be
in May Day. Some rehearsals went
on during the festival and I think
it would be a good idea to have
a rule that no practices take place
after the festival starts.

Nancy Grayson: The Arts Festi-
val was exciting and stimulating.
While I feel that it should be held
only once every four years, I don't
see why we need to wait for an
Arts Festival to have a writing
or art panel.

Nancie Barr: I think the Fine
Arts Festival was a great success
and everything was well handled.
I was very impressed by the ac-
tive participation of both the fac-
ulty and the student body.

Frannie Elliot: The groups
working together was good for the
student body, and it seemed al-
most professional.

Eve Purdom: I would like to
see the Aris Festival repeated
every four years. Some phases of
it would be worthwhile as annual
events, such as the writing and
art panels.

Ann McBride: The lecture and
writing panel were very interest-
ing and informative. I thoroughly
enjoyed "The Tempest" and espec-
ially the operetta. On the whole I
would say the Arts Festival was
very successful.

Peyton Baber: Arts Festival was
a good idea but I don't think it
should be an annual affair. I
don't believe it appealed to every-
one and I think May Day is pre-
ferable.

New Cabinet Plans
CA Spring Retreat

The newly elected officers of
Christian Association and the cabi
net will meet for a retreat at Miss
Scandrett's house with Miss Mary

uation of campus needs and the
function of Christian Association
in meeting these needs.

Margie Erickson is vice presi-
dent, and Mary Hammond, fresh-
man advisor. Junior officers are
Janice Bowman, secretary; and Jo
Flowers, treasurer. The cabinet
which has been chosen for 1958-

Sophomores Rout Freshmen
To Win Volleyball Competition

In a play-off Monday afternoon,
April 21, the sophomores defeated
the freshmen 42-12 to capture
the volleyball championship. Play
was fairly even throughout the
first half although the sophs led
in score 15-9. At the beginning of
the second half the sophs pulled
way ahead on the long service of
Sylvia Saxon. The freshmen
couldn't seem to break the service
or have a long rally to stop the
sophomore advance.

In the following games the jun-
iors beat the seniors 32-28 to win
third place. The first half appear-
ed more like the clown section of
the circus, but no one complained
about the hilarious show the two

classes gave As the play progress-
ed the teams settled down to more
serious play.

The play-offs were necessary
because last Friday the class of
1960 beat the freshmen 36-20 to
tie for first place, and the juniors
defeated the senior class 35-21 to

tie for third place.

On Friday at 4:30 the faculty
will take on the varsity volleyball
team. Slated to appear for the
faculty are such members as Dr.
Calder, Dr. Chang, Miss Boyce,
Miss McKemie, Miss Wilburn, and
Dr. Frierson. Attempts are being
made to sign up Dr. Alston for
the faculty team.

Seniors Take Spotlight
As Three Accept Awards

Judy Nash is one of twenty stu-
dents in Southern colleges and uni-
versities to receive a $1000 Car-
negie Graduate Fellowship to
George Peabody College for Teach-
ers in Nashville, Tennessee. Judy
is planning a four quarter pro-
gram in guidance and education
which leads to a Master of Arts
degree in psychology. After fin-
ishing graduate school, Judy wants
to do work in guidance and coun-
seling among high school students.

The Carnegie Graduate Fellow-
ship program is one of a number
of similar programs which are of-
fered to graduates of liberal arts
colleges who are interested in
graduate work in education but do
not have an undergraduate degree
in education.

Judy was nominated as a candi-
date for the fellowship by the
office of the Dean of the Faculty
here at Agnes Scott. Mr. Kline
has pointed out that Agnes Scott
is interested in nominating other
qualified students for similar
awards.

Two Agnes Scott seniors have
been honored recently by state and
national groups for scholarship,
and for leadership.

The Georgia Division of the
American Association of Universi-
ty Women, an organization actively
interested in cultural and intel-
lectual pursuits, has awarded a
year's free membership to senior
Louise Law. The award, presented
to Louise at the Georgia AAUW
State Convention last Saturday, is
a recognition of character, schol-
astic achievement and leaderdship
ability.

Members of the AAUW are all
graduates of approved coleges.
The organization's activities in-
clude the support of an extensive
program of scholarships and fel-
lowships.

Joanne Brownlee received a
twenty-five dollar prize for her
report on her independent study
program at the Saturday meeting
of the Georgia Academy of
Science. Joanne's study has dealt
with the investigation of colori-
metry.

'Teacher of the Year Speaks;
Chi Beta Phi Honors Robert

Today, April 30, Chi Beta Phi, the honorary science frater-
nity, held its annual convocation. The speaker was Miss
Belle Bacon Cooper, a science teacher from North Fulton
High School in Atlanta. Miss Cooper, a native of Rome,
Georgia, is a graduate of Agnes Scott and holds her Masters
degree from Columbia University.
She has studied at Emory Uni-
versity, at the University of Geor-
gia, and has traveled extensively.
Miss Cooper has also received two
summer fellowships of study, one
at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, and the other at Col-
umbia University. Adding to her
laurels, Miss Cooper the origin-
ate of the Science Fair in Atlanta,
has recently been chosen Teacher
of the Year for the Atlanta
School System, and also for the
fifth Congressional District. Miss
Cooper is a member of Phi Beta
Kappa and Delta Kappa Gamma,
the honorary teacher's society.
Her address dealt with "Science
and Education."

Chi Beta Phi

At the close of convocation the
new selections for Chi Beta Phi
were announced. The girls were
judged from the standpoint of
scholarship and interest in
science. Those chosen this year
have merited three-forths of their
college work, have an approximate
B-average in their science courses,
have completed - thirty hours in
natural science and math ,and are
now taking one or more courses
in science and math. The new
members are: Peggy Britt, Mary
Clayton Bryan, Margie Erickson,
Sidney Howell, and Janet Lamb.
The grand Key Award, given each
year by the National Chi Beta
Phi to a senior in each chapter
recognized for her scholarship,
leadership, interest in science, and
service to the fraternity, was
awarded to Lue Robert.

Dungeon Aria, Base Plot
Will Flavor Opera Score

Once again Opera comes to Agnes Scott. Following on the heels of the well-known
Metropolitan company, soon to open in Atlanta, another opera group of some merit will
appear in Gaines Auditorium May 10, at 8:00 p.m. This company has appeared many times
in the past, but the personnel and repertoire are always different. Each senior class of
Scott contributes its musical, literary, and comic talent to the production.

Triumphs of previous years have
been the 1955 production "Der
Rural Mural," a combination of
Gilbert and Sullivan, German
opera and Broadway. Another
well-remembered presentation was
that of 1956 when a cast of thou-
sands participated in a tale of
love in old Verona: "Here's a
Pretty Mess." Perhaps the most
outstanding elements of this pro-
duction were the operatic debut
of Dorothy Weakley in the role
of Romeo, and the appearance of
the senior orchestra under the
driving baton of Nancy Burkitt.
In 1957 the La Scotta Opera Com-
pany presented "Babes in the
Woods," freely adapted from
"Hansel and Gretel."

Romance

With this history of famed
works and illustrious names be-
hind them, the 1958 senior opera
group has forged ahead with their
plans, plagiarizing, and practices
for their May 10 opening. This
year Decatur audiences will be
privileged to see the world pre-
miere of "Man With a Hoe," a
comic opera in the best romantic
tradition. Reported to have plots
and sub-plots known only to
Frances Gwinn, director, and the
cast, the main theme of the opera
is as follows:

Gardener Hero

The handsome sculptor Ruldol-
pho has been exiled from the king-
dom of the evil duke Scorpio, and
forced to become a gardener in
Duke Tomaso's estate. Tomaso is
sponsoring a festival in which
great sculpture will be displayed
and judged, the prize to be Leor-
nora, Tomaso's daughter. Rudol-
pho has been in love with Leonora
from the first, and, inspired,
creates a marvelous statue. The
malevolent Scorpio sees the statue,
realizes who has carved it, and
decides to do away with Rudolpho
sc that he can claim the work as
his own and thus win Leonora.

Rudolpho is kidnapped and put
into a dungeon. The day of the
contest arrives and the great art

Tired ole Seniors give last gasp

ra practice.

critic who is to judge the sculp-
ture, formerly Rudolpho's teach-
er, awards Rudolpho's statue (now
Scorpio's) first place. Scorpio is
proclaimed the winner in a great
chorus and is given Leonora as his
betrothed.

Rescue

However deception cannot
triumph, for a maid in Tomaso's
castle, in love with Scorpio who
has scorned her, takes revenge on
him by telling Leonora of Ru-
dolph's plight in the dungeon and
of Scorpio's trickery. The plot is
suddenly made known to all con-
cerned and the Palace Guard is
ordered out after the villainous
Scorpio.

In a tender and joyful scene be-
tween Leonora and Rudolpho in
the dungeon, the love theme soars
as they declare their love for
each other. Rudolpho is brought
back to the castle in triumph
and declared the rightful winner
of the contest. But it is too late.
He is dying of pleurisy, exposure,
and radiation. In spite of this
seemingly tragic finale there is
comic relief of an undisclosed na-
ture at the end which is reported
by an anonymous source to be of
the "roll 'em in the aisles variety."

Many familiar themes will be
heard, among them arias from
"D o n Giovanni," "Carmen,"

Alumnae Invite Students
To Annual Career Coffee

For those whose thoughts are
beyond graduation day at Agnes
Scott, there will be a Career Cof-
fee at the Alumnae House tonight
at 7:00 p. m. All students are in-
vited.

The purpose of the coffee, spon-
sored by the Alumnae Association,
is to present various fields of work
open to women with liberal arts
degrees. There will be a panel
made up of former Agnes Scott
students who are living and work-
ing in Atlanta.

Miss Lorton Lee, '49, who is vo-
cational guidance chairman of
Alumnae Association, planned the

coffee. She will speak on group
work. Barbara Smith Hull (Mrs.
Delony) '47, will discuss the field
of teaching. Speaking on advertis-
ing and related jobs will be Jane
Guthrie Rhodes (Mrs. William)
'38. Dr. Jean Stewart Staton, '46,
will talk about women's place in
the world of medicine. Miss Ann
Worthy Johnson will act as mod-
erator, and Miss lone Murphy will
be a resource person for the panel.

After the panel discussion there
will be a question and answer
period. Sophomores, who are to
choose majors within the next few
weeks, and seniors are particularly
urged to attend the discussions.

"Aida," "II Trovatore," and "La
Traviata." A precision drill team
will perform as the Palace Guard,
and there will be live statues as
further attractions of this pro-
duction.

The outstanding cast includes
Nancy Holland as Leonora, Mar-
tha Meyer as her lover Rudolpho,
Punky Fambrough playing Scor-
pio, Marilyn Tripple as Thomaso,
Liz Shumaker as the art c itic,
Harriet Talmadge as the main
statue, and Caroline Silcox as the
maid.

Pat Gover will appear as the
jailer, Margaret Woolfolk as a
cherub, Shirley MacDonalcl as
Evilio, Julian Preble as a humress,
Nancy Alexander as the Cap lain
of the guards, and Joanne Brown*

Department Heads
Name New Classes

Course selections for the rising
sophomores, juniors, and seniors
will be held the week of May 5th
through the 10th. The procedure
for selecting next year's courses
was given in the class meetings on
Monday, and final instructions are
to be posted on the bulletin board
outside room 103 in Buttrick.

There are important changes in
both courses and hours which were
not available for the printing of
the 1958-59 catalogue. A mimeo-
graphed copy of these changes can
now be obtained and should be
consulted before planninig courses
for next year. The majority of the
variations are in the History and
Political Science Departments, but
there are also significant changes
in the Bible and English Depart-
ments.

Several new courses are being
introduced next year for the first
time. New Political Science courses
include Modern Political Thought,
fall quarter; American Constitu-
tional Development, winter quar-
ter; and International Law ai d
Organization, spring quarter. The
History Department is offering
Historical method during spring
quarter, and the new Bible course
is Biblical Interpretation, held
throughout the year.

Sheltering Arms?

Lately it seems that the matter of transferring has become
a somewhat touchy subject among all classes. Realizing that
much has been said already concerning such a step, and rec-
ognizing a certain tension in the air, still we, as fellow stu-
dents, feel the need to urge a rational evaluation, admitting
our own deep belief in Agnes Scott.

We understand that there are often quite valid reasons for
completing one's college education elsewhere: finances, a
very special friend, distance from home, or perhaps a major
in Russian seem to be justifiable circumstances for going to
another school. We grant that this matter of choosing is
quite personal; we do not wish to antagonize, but to convey
the deep concern that we feel, and request an honest analysis
of all factors involved. ,

The accusation has been made repeatedly that Agnes Scott
is too sheltered, that one doesn't really "see life." Let's not
fool ourselves: we "see life" as realistically as we want, no
matter where we are. Actually there is much of "life" on our
own campus, if only we were aware! We are not preparing
for life, we are in it now. Thinking positively about our
life here, we know the intangible value, the strength which
we unconsciously imbibe in four years, which helps shape us
as "cells of sanity" in a confused world.

There is no need to question whether we are running away
from it all. In the first place, we immediately and vehemently
deny that motive. In the second place, if we are running from
anything, we are running from ourselves; the mind makes
its own heaven or hell.

We who are beginning at last to see over and beyond the
mountain are acutely aware of what Agnes Scott does mean
and can mean. We are asking for an honest evaluation before
a choice is made, and offering our encouragement and our
deepest faith. CD.

Pick-up Needed!

The postman rings twice, they say; but dormitory phones
at Agnes Scott ring forever. During the hours when there
is no one specifically responsible for answering it, the phone
often rings for minutes on end, unanswered. Everyone who
hears the ringing telephone prefers to wait and let someone
else take the trouble to answer it. There is nothing quite so
disconcerting to concentration as the persistent ring of a
phone, and there is no one quite so stubbornly determined
that she is not going to hop up and run clear down the hall
to answer that phone as some one who is trying to study.
After fifteen minutes of silent, stubborn resistance to the
pealing summons, everyone gives in at the same moment and
dashes into the hall just in time to see someone else scoot
into the booth and throttle the phone in mid-ring.

Co-operation and consideration for others are sadly lacking
in this situation. Consideration for the person who is calling
as well as for those who are trying to study in their rooms
demands that a ringing telephone be answered immediately.
Moreover, it is not fair to expect those who live nearest the
center of the hall to answer every call. Consideration for the
nerves of her fellow hallites should inspire the girl who is
not studying to take a second to answer the phone. In any
case, each person must take it on herself to make sure that
a phone need not ring more than five or six times. This is
only being courteous to the caller. Perhaps some system
could be worked out on each hall and in each cottage to in-
sure this. A genuine consideration for others and a spirit of
co-operation among all concerned provide the only real
answer to this knotty problem. SAC

Met Repertoire Offers Variety of Five
Productions For Annual Atlanta Season

By Gertrude Florrid

Jewel-bedecked, top-hatted opening-nigh ters will see the first Atlanta performance of
Tschaikowsky's Eugene Onegin. The story takes place in Russia. Eugene Onegin, a bored
young aristocrat, and his friend Lensky visit Olga and Tatiana, two young country girls
who are Lensky's neighbors. Onegin flirts with both girls and causes lovely Tatiana to
fall deeply in love with him. He is flattered but uninterested. His trifling attentions to

Olga cause Lensky, who loves her
to challenge Onegin to a duel, in
which Lensky is killed. Years lat-
er, Onegin again sees Tatiana, who
is now the poised and beautiful
wife of a nobleman. He falls in
love with her, but cannot per-
suade her to run away with him.

Aida on Thursday

Though a much-repeated part
of the repertoire, Aida, Thursday-
night's offering, contains some of
Verdi's most beautiful music. Aida,
in reality an Ethiopian princess,
is serving as a slave girl to Am-
neris, princess of the conquering
Egyptians. Both women love
Radames, commander of the
Egyptian forces. When Radames
is unwillingly betrothed to Am-
neris, he begs Aida to flee with
him and in so doing inadvertantly
i eveals the route by which Egypt's
army will march against the rebel-
lious Ethiopians. Radames is sen-
tenced to be buried alive because
of his treason. Aida hides in the
underground burial vault and dies
with her beloved.

Der Rosenkavalier

The setting for Friday night's
opera, Der Rosenkavalier, by Rich-
ard Strauss, is Vienna, during the
reign of Maria Theresa. The main
characters are the Marschallin,
wife of Field Marshall Prince von
Werdenberg, Count Octavian, her
youthful lover (played by a con-
tralto), Baron Ochs, the Mar-
schallin's rascally cousin, Herr von
Faninal, a rich merchant, and
Sophia, his daughter. Baron Ochs
asks that the Marschallin choose
a young nobleman to be the rose-
bearer to deliver the silver rose,
traditional love-token, to his
bride-to-be, Sophia. The Marschal-
lin sends Octavian, who promptly
falls in love with Sophia himself
and pleads his own suit instead
of that of the Baron. Severa

sets of disguises and plots, one of
which serves to unite Octavian
and Sophia, add to the gaiety and
wit of the opera.

Faust as Matinee

Gounod's Faust, based upon
Goethe's famous tragedy, will be
presented at the matinee on Sat-
urday afternoon. Mephistopheles
(Satan) promises to make Faust,
the aged German philosopher,
young again and to give him the
love of Marguerite, a village girl,
in return for his soul. The fateful
agreement brings only evil and
grief for in the course of the love
affair between Faust and Mar-
guerite, Faust kills Marguerite's
brother, Valentin, and Marguerite
is driven insane by remorse.
Faust visits the demented girl in
prison, but cannot persuade her
to escape with him. Mephistopheles
drags Faust off to the underworld

as Marguerite is taken to heaven 1 sword.

by angels.

Butterfly

For Saturday evening, Puccini's
Madame Butterfly, a favorite of
long-standing, has been made even
more appealing this year by the
revision of its settings and of the
dramatic technique of its actors.
Lt. Pinkerton, U.S.N., stationed
in Nagasaki, Japan, marries Cio
Cio San, a lovely Japanese girl,
having been told by the Japanese
marriage broker that the mar-
riage is binding only as long as he
remains with his wife. Pinkerton
returns to Amerca, but for three
years Butterfly faithfully awaits
his return. The bittersweet story
reaches its climax when Pinkerton
returns, bringing with him his
American wife. Kate Pinkerton
wishes to adopt the child which
Butterfly bore to Pinkerton, and
Butterfly gives her consent. She
then kills herself with her father's

French Bitterness Over Futile
War Envokes U. S. Awareness

By Susie White

As the third French Government in the last ten months
fell recently because of the Assembly's determination to
avoid a compromise settlement in Algeria, there were strong
hints that the United States policy of non-intervention was
about to undergo a change. The United States has avoided
taking a clear-cut stand for ne-

LIBRARY.

gotiation with the Algerian rebels
out of deference to France and
in order to avoid arousing anti-
Americanism through interference.

However, the recent defeat of
Gaillard, France's 24th Premier
since the war, ostensibly caused
by his yielding to "friendly pres-
sure" from President Eisenhower
to allow continued American and
British mediation in the Franco-
Tunisian difficulty, caused the
United States to decide to wear
the shoe of intervention since
French antagonists declared it to
fit .

Split Over Algeria

Moreover, the United States is
becoming more and more aware
of the danger for the Western
World created in France as a
result of the bitterness of a three-
and-a-half-years war that cannot
be won. The trend in recent elec-
tions has been a definitive split
between the extreme left and the
extreme right on the Algerian is-
sue. Communists advocate the
complete independence of Algeria
in which observers proclaim the
Soviet Union would be able to
make increaesed gains. Yet an-
other danger is seen from the
extreme rightists who want the
war effort increased. There is a
fearful possibility that a strong
nationalist might gain control of
the government and demand that
I the U. S. give total support to
the French in the Algerian war or
risk a French deal with the Soviet
Union. Should either faction gain
control the Western World stands
to lose.

North Africa

Perhaps the proposed "interest"
of the United States which is pur-
ported to have declared top prior-
ity the job of keeping North Afri-
ca loyal to the free world even
if the necessity arises for the
French Government to enter into
direct negotiations with the Al-
gerian rebels wil strengthen the
moderates to form a government
and negotiate an end to the Al-
gerian war themselves.

Sun Worshippers Crowd Hot Tin Roof,
Acquire Blisters, 'Barber Pole Tans

By Jane Law

The gurgling music of half-awake mermaids may play upon your ears as you pass by
Inman early in the morning. But if you walk by the dorm in the late afternoon, you may be
distressed to hear the worn-out groans from cracked, parched lips of half-baked land
dwellers.

You may be surprised to discover that these contrasting utterances gush forth from the
same mouths. To understand how
this deterioration occurs, you
must join the rank of sun bathers
stretched out on Inman's sun
deck.

Be willing to sacrifice a bed
spread for the cause of a beauti-
fying sun tan. Late some night
when there are absolutely no evi-
dences of warmth remaining in
the heavens, arm yourself with
hammer and bolts; then steal your
way up to second Inman. Leave
your conscience with your room-
mie, because it may be necessary
for you to accidently knock some-
one's towel over the rail. As soon
as the train whistle masks all
other sounds, lay your bed spread
in the middle of the balcony and
hammer in those bolts. Don't get
flustered and anchor your mat
near the sides, or you'll get a
barber pole burn the next morn-
ing. When your act of stealth is
completed, dash back to your
room and jump into bed. The or-
deal that you are in for requires
all of your strength, and calls for
an early start.

Once you have decided to parti-
cipate in this body burning, don't
let anything interfere with your
plans. If you realize that you
have an English test the next
day, the sun porch is just the place
for you. You will find at least

Washington & Lee Choristers
Charm Local College Women

By Jennie Miller

The big IFC weekend at Tech plus a host of Washington and Lee
boys on campus last weekend set Scotties scurrying about campus
with hoops, heels, and formals, hurrying from one party to another.
Others preferred picnicking and swimming in the warm spring sun
to the campus festivities, while some left Atlanta to visit other
campuses.

Among the Greek goddesses nominated for the queen's court were
Carlaiuia Lindamood and Karel Kwass. Chosen to be on the court
from Scott was Becky Wilson. Attending the football game and dance
Friday were Esther Thomas, Lucy Scales, Margaret Roberts, Joe
Robertson, Millie McCravey, Minii Phillips, Josie Roden, Pat Rogers,
Mildred Love, Christy Hages, Juanita Juarez, Linda Grant, Jean Cor-
bett, and Panni Doar.

In an outdoor concert Saturday afternoon, Richard Maltby's music
entertained Caroline Thomas, Ann Pollard, Jo Hester, Mike Booth,
Betsy Bivens, Anne Modlin, Emily Bailey, Flossie Gaines, Marlin Day,
Lucy Maud Davis, Diane Foster, Jane Bennet, and Bonnie Best. Later
that evening Jean Abendroth, Mary Park Cross, Nancy Batson, Willie
Byrd Childress, Madge Clark, Mary Wayne Crymes, Ann Holloman,
Betty Lehman, Martha Brock Hanna, Judy Albergotti, and Dee Con-
well enjoyed the same music at the dance which ended the week's
activities.

The Washington and Lee glee club presented a concert at the
Northside Methodist Church Saturday night. After the concert, the
boys came to Agnes Scott for a party in Walter's basement. Hostesses
for the occasion were Nell Archer, Linda Ingram ,Ruth Leroy, Marcie
Tobey, and Mary Hart Richardson. Also dating the W & L boys were
Suellen Beverly, Shannon Cumming, Patti Forest, Margaret Collins,
Sara Ann Carey, and Celia Crook.

Nina Marable was Scott's representative on the W & L campus in
Lexington. Several other Scotties attended traditional occasions at
Southern colleges last weekend. Mary Elizabeth Webster, Ann Scog-
gins, Ann McBride, 'and Sarah Helen High all helped celebrate Joe
College at Duke. Marty Lair had a gay time at Spring Frolics at the
University of Florida. Boogie Helm visited in Chapel Hill. And Dottie
Cummings had as her guests in Mobile, Sandra Davis, Marion Greene,
Anne Christian, and Rosemary Kitrell.

New faces were seen looking the campus over also. Carol Pickens,
Ellen Hines, Virginia Thomas, and Boog Smith entertained guests
from Clemson, while Jennie Miller had a male visitor from the Uni-
versity of Alabama.

Suntan lotion, bathing suits, and beach towels were being packed
into beach bags by sun-worshippers who were leaving for lakes and
beaches. Betsy Shepley, Harriet Moseley, Ann Tilly, and Paula Pilken-
ton played in the water at Allatoona. Betty Mitchell, Betsy Dalton,
and Runita McCurdy headed for Pine Lake. Nancy Glass, Caroline
Reid, Bugs Matthews, and Susan Abernathy drove to the beautiful
Ida Cason Callaway Gardens.

Back in Atlanta, and at Tech again, the Betas and the Phi Delts
were holding fun-filled houseparties. Representing Scott at the Beta
house were Mary Ann McSwain, Ellen McFarland, Jane Kraemer,
Judy Houchins, Wardy Abernathy, and Bunny Henry. Virginia Ader-
hold, Caroline Ryman, Anita Moses, and Dana Hundley helped the
Phi Delts celebrate the IFC weekend.

The Emory campus was buzzing too, especially since preparations
for Dooley's next week were getting underway. At Emory parties
were Alice Frazer, Delt, Donna Brock, Sigma Nu, and Rosa Barnes,
Chi Phi.

Deene Spivey perhaps had the most successful weekend since she
returned to campus with a beautiful diamond. Marty Young ran her
a close second with a lovely Delta Sig pin from a Tech senior.

Fighting Faculty Yields, 41-27;
Classes Form Softball Teams

Batter Up! Senior Martha Myer warms up for first game of season.

By Nancy Duvall

The faculty, although led by the excellent playing of Dr.
Chang and Charles Scott, went down in defeat 41-27 to the
less spectacular and more steady varsity team. The audience,
assembled to view the adroitness of their instructors, had
the opportunity occasionally to see some very fine playing
as both teams demonstrated ex-
ceptional skill.

At first, play was evenly dis-
tributed, and the half-time score
of 15-10 in favor of the varsity
gives a false sense of unevenness.
However, as the second half open-
ed, the varsity did show the pre-
dominance that gave them the
strong lead. Kathryn John was
particularly helpful to the varsity
efforts. The faculty, determined
and spirited, made several rallies
but failed to catch up, and the
varsity led 41-27 as the game
ended.

At a meeting of the Varsity
Council at the end of the regular
season, the varsity volleyball team
was named which included Kath-
ryn John, Susan Shirley, Choon
Hi Choi, Marty Lair, Betsy Dal-
ton, Caroline Simmons, Jo Saw-
yer, Runita McCurdy, Peace Fe-
well, Nancy Duvall, Ruth Currie,
and Martha Myer. Named to the
sub-varsity were Janice Powell,
Pat Stewart, Joyce Seay, Sarah
Kelso, Sue McCurdy, Maria Har-
ris, Shirley McDonald, Sally San-
ford.

Softball season opened last Wed-
nesday afternoon with a general
meeting in which those interested
met and set practice times. Pat
Walker is the general Softball
manager. Class managers are
freshmen, Nancy Hall; sopho-
mores, Peace Fewell; juniors,
Ruth Currie; and seniors, Hazel
Ellis.

New Buildings To Be 1 964 Reality

Vacationing Dean Relaxes
With Books, Hoe, On Isle

Just imagine yourself spending three months on a beauti-
ful English isle in the midst of the Irish Sea with time on
your hands, no English themes or Philosophy quizzes, and
a very pleasant environment, and you will have an idea of
what made "a perfect vacation" for Miss Carrie Scandrett.

On February 6, Miss Scandrett '
sailed from New York City on
the "Corinthia" for Liverpool,
England; from there it was a four-
hour voyage by ship to the Isle
of Man and three months of rest
at the home of her sister. Except
for a four-day jaunt to Ireland
where she stayed mostly "around
Dublin," the dean of students re-
mained at the home of her sister,
just walking, gardening, and
reading.

Although she did not do any
extensive traveling, Miss Scan-
drett did see a great deal of the
Isle of Man; she descrioes it as
"real English" in appearance.
Situated in the Irish Sea between
England and Ireland, the Isle of
Man, she says, has mountains,
level meadows, and lovely glens
and drives. Rock walls divide the
countryside into small fields. The
climate of the isle is very damp,
and it rains quite often, she says;
but the wind which blows con-
stantly off the sea quickly dries
the land. She reports that, al-
though this was an unusually cold
winter on the isle, she saw ice
only one time during her entire

Meeting last Friday, the Board of Trustees approved a proposed development program
for the college which includes plans for a new gymnasium, a new dormitory, a new fine arts
building, all scheduled to be completed by 1964, when Agnes Scott will observe its seventy-
fifth anniversary.

The completion of these buildings will mark the fulfillment of a plan begun in 1953 when

Dean Scandrett

stay. Palm trees grow on the is-
land as well as pines, copper
beeches, and larches. Miss Scan-
drett says that when she arrived
rn the island everything was- green.
It turned brown during some cold
weather, but when she left, the
country-side was turning "very
green" again, fruit trees were
blooming, and the landscape was
filled with violets, snowdrops,
anemones, daffodils, and prim-
roses.

a long-range development program
was adopted by the Board to ex-
pand Agnes Scott's endowment
from $2,000,000 to $10,000,000 over
a ten-year period.

At this time, a building program
was set up to provide two new
dormitories, a student activities
building, faculty housing, a fine
arts building, and to renovate com-
pletely the three old dorms. Under
this plan, Hopkins and Walters
Halls were completed, and the
gift of $4,000,000 from Board mem-
ber Mrs. Frances Winship Walters
was left to increase the endow-
ment fund toward the $10,000,000
goal.

$10,500,000 Goal

In 1957, the Trustees voted to
add approximately one half mil-
lion dollars for the purpose of
building an additional dormitory,
making the total objective for
the period culminating in 1964 ten
and a half million dollars: $8,050,-
000 will be added to the permanent
endowment funds of the college,
and $2,425,000 will be set aside
for buildings, grounds, and equip-
ment.

Tentative plans are being made
for an intensive financial cam-
paign in 1960-61; more than three-
lilt hs of the goal has been at-
tained to date.

At the recent meeting of the
Board this year, members again

voted to expand the original plan,
approving a program for a new
gym and a new dorm, in addition
to a fine arts building and a stu-
dent activities building already
planned in 1953.

Activities Building

Eecause of the need for a stu-
dent activities building situated
within the dormitory-dining area,
the Board has approved a plan to
renovate completely the present
gymnasium, a building which of-
fers adequate floor space and a
central location, for this purpose.

Tentative plans for the activities
building include offices for cam-
pus publications, offices and con-
ference rooms for the major cam-
pus organizations and staffs, a
book store, a permanent snack
bar, and bowling alleys. The pres-
ent "Hub" will be removed.

The new dormitory will be lo-
cated in the area where Cunning-
ham and Tart Cottages now stand;
the building will extend north and
south, as far as possible from
South Candler Street, with en-
trances upon Buttrick Drive and
Winship Garden.

Fine Arts

The proposed fine arts building
will be constructed in the area
next to the Campbell Science Hall,
fronting on South McDonough
Street and will be approximately

in line with the front entrance of
Presser Hall. It is proposed that
this building will house the art
department, with studios, offices,
and a gallery; included also in this
building will be studios, offices,

Intellectual Exploitation

Several weeks ago in the daily newspaper, there was a
two-page spread on a testimony given before the Un-Ameri-
can Activities Committee by an Australian surgeon and psy-
chiatrist. This man, who began to study the Marxist theories
as a result of college debate tournaments with communist
students, has come up with some unique and frightening
observations and analyses as a scientist, as a psychiatrist,
and as a Christian.

Among other thought-provoking and challenging theories,
several of his statements are especially relevant to us as
college women.

In his opinion, communism, evil as it appears to us, is gain-
ing foothold after foothold in the world primarily through
an ideological and intellectual appeal to the students in the
colleges and universities of every country.

The student "is recruited in terms of his ideological pride.
He is more intelligent than the average man, and he sees
the opportunity to mold man and create history ... He is one
of the elite, the chosen, and the intellectual aristocracy. In
combination with this intellectual pride, the religious nature
of man demands a purpose in life: they find in this vision of
human regeneration a religious refuge . . .

"Communism is advancing in terms of its recruitment of
students ,the organization of these students into the Com-
munist Party and the scientific exploitation of group needs,
grievances and ambitions to advance their party to power.
The goal of communism is conquest, not conversion. They
convert a few and conquer the many . . .

"We must face honestly the gravity of the situation. We
must give it priority in our thinking and in our actions. We
must build a strong base of freedom-loving people articulate
in their faith, in their love of country, in their love of God,
in their love of home, and in their love of law, and we must
rally the spiritual forces in the heart of man and recruit dedi-
cated personnel to raise barriers against communism in every
area of the world . . .

"The fundamental foundation of opposition to communism
is an informed public opinion and a dedicated public char-
acter. On these alone the necessary legislative, administra-
tive, judicial, military, and economic and educational pro-
grams may be built." CD.

A Sincere Thanks

Last week our own Miss Scandrett returned to Agnes
Scott after a visit to England. While she was away the D.O.
was kept running smoothly by Tuck and her staff. Tuck
administered the duties of Dean of Students with immense
capability and wisdom.

We owe a great deal of appreciation to the staff for the
fine job they did. It is often too easy for us to take the D.O.
for granted; we know that someone will always be there.
The work that they do is more than just approving our sign-
out slips and making sure that rules are followed. Would
we not miss their sincere "Hope you have a good time!" as
we leave for a date? How many times have we taken our
problems to the Dean's staff to be solved? Amid these many
duties they still have time to participate in campus activities.

Completing exam schedules and beginning work on orien-
tation, Tuck and her staff have successfully produced a job
well done. A sincere thanks to them, and a welcome home to
Miss Scandrett! B.G.

Egypt Yields Point;
U.S. Frees Assets

The United States endeavored
to smooth ruffled waters in anoth-
er trouble spot recently as the
State Department pressed for an
early financial settlement between
the Suez Canal Company and Nas-
ser by letting it be known that the
United States planned to unfreeze
Egyptian assets in this country
when it was reached.

By due process of law, the pres-
sure of power
politics, and
Masser's willing-
ness to cooper-
ite, after feeling
;he hurt of hav-
ng $280 million
n Egyptian as-
sets frozen in the
Jnited States
and Britain, an
agreement was reached by both
parties making significant con-
cessions. The Suez Canal Com-
pany waived its claim to com-
pensation for approximately $300
million in lost revenues during
the twelve years from 1956 when
the canal's installations were
seized by Nasser's troops to 1968,
when its lease was due to expire.
Nasser dropped his original de-
mand that the Company's capital
assets abroad be handed over to
Egypt before any compensation
would be paid.

The settlement opened the way
for the United States to move
toward a resumption of friendly
relations with President Nasser's
United Arab Republic. Twenty-
four hours after the agreement
the Treasury Department an-
nouced the unfreezing of $26
million in Egyptian government
assets. The action came as the
Egyptian leader toured Moscow
as an honored guest of the Soviet
government.

As suppositions were raised as
to whether these overtures would
decrease the anti-American prop-
aganda spread by the Cairo press,
indications pointed to Nasser's
continued desire to play the East
against the West. Assured that
Western capital would again be
available for Egyptian develop-
ment, including a plan to improve
and enlarge the Suez Canal, Nas-
ser had a "shopping list" ready
for Moscow. He wanted cash for
Egyptian cotton that he had been
trading for loans and weapons;
new Soviet jet aircraft to replace
British and United States planes
in his Misair Airline; and con-
sumer-goods factories, including
textile mills to process cotton at
home. Horeover, he wanted all
of these without an influx of
Soviet "technicians" and with a
continued pledge that aid already
promised would not stop.

In an attempt to weigh the
prestige of the United States in
this play-off, the State Depart-
ment has further unannounced
plans for relationship improve-
ment. They include allowing
"Care" to resume operations in
Egypt, the beginning of a student
exchange program for Egyptian
and American scholars, and grant-
ing export licenses Egypt needs
to buy road building and other
commercial equipment on the
American market. As a new era
in the relationship between the
West and Egypt opens up, ob-
servers are prone to wonder how
far Nasser will be able to lead
the Western powers down the road
of appeasement this time.

Letters To The Editor

Weber Expresses Thanks;
JuniorComplimenfsTuggle

On behalf of the Cabin Com-
mittee, I would like to express
our thanks to you, the Student
Body, for your sincere interest,
your loyal support, and your warm
and encouraging response. You,
the Student Body, have "built the
cabin."

May the primary aim of the
Cabin always be present in your
mind. The Cabin is there to fill
a need on campus. It is there pri-
marily for recreational purposes.
Let us use it in this way.

The many hours of discussing
and planning with delight, with
eagerness, and with anticipation
of the possibilities of such a pro-
ject as building a student sponsor-
ed cabin, have resulted in the hap-
piness and joy of seeing our ef-
forts materialized, our hopes ful-
filled.

However, let us not forget those
of the faculty and staff who gave
of their time and interest; who
willingly and joyfully served us,
advised us, and encouraged us in
cur project.

We, the Cabin Committee, are
deeply indebted to you, the Agnes
Scott community.

Kay Weber, Chairman
Cabin Committee

It was with mixed feelings that
I read the letter from Dr. Tuggle
printed in the April 23 edition of
the "News." I felt happiness for
Dr. Tuggle that her practice has
become so successful; I surely
wish for her the best. I felt, too,
a real sense of sadness that she
will be leaving the position of our
college physician. I felt a deep
sense of gratitude for all she has
meant to us and to me personally.

"Beta" Crisis

Her immediate action in our
recent "Beta" crisis was but an
example of her watchfulness, in-
terest, and action on our behalf.
Besides being an excellent doctor,
it has been Dr. Tuggle herself that
has made us love her. The constant
warmth, humor, and devotion that
she has given every sufferer has
made them remember her long
after the pain was over.

Thank you, Dr. Tuggle, for your
friendship, love, and care. We'll
miss you next year, and we wish
the very best for you.

Brando, 'Abie's Irish Rose
To Spark Atlanta's Night Life

By Suzanne Manges

With the coming of spring a
young lady's fancy generally turns
not only toward thoughts of love
but also toward entertainment.
This week's calendar of events
offers many attractions for Scot-
ties with a taste for night life.

For those interested in the
legitimate theatre, Drama Tech is
presenting "Abie's Irish Rose"
May 15, 16, 17 at the Crenshaw
Field House. On May 15-16 the
Emory Opera Workstop will pre-
sent "The Beggar's Opera" in the
Alumni Memorial Building.

To those who have not been to
see "Bridge on the River Kwai,"
take note: it will be at the Roxy
only seven more days. Now run-
ning at the Rialto is "Stage

Struck" with Henry Fonda and
Susan Strasberg. For the Marlon
Brando fans a special treat is in
store for them at the Fox. Not
only Marlon, but also Dean Martin
and Montgomery Clift are star-
ring in "The Youg Lions."

Anyone longing to lose herself
in a continental atmosphere, to
be transported to those "far away
places," should take t in "Paris
Holiday" at Loew's. This comedy
features Bob Hope, Anita Ekberg,
and that "continental clown" of
"Around the World in 80 Days,"
Fernandel. At the Art is the Ital-
ian film, "Nights of Cabiria" with
Giulietta Masina playing a leading
role.

Now's the time to do the town!
Ah youth' spring and exams are
coming!!!

Top Hats, Harem Parade
Win Applause at 'Opera'

"March on, March on . . Nancy Alexander leads Palace Guard In
precision drill during senior production of "The Man With a Hoe."

By Sara Anne Carey

Nothing can compare with the
glitter of opening night at the
opera; and, to be sure, the gala
production of the class of 1958
on last Saturday evening eclipsed
all other events.

The audience fairly sparkled as
each first-nighter strove to outdo
the other in magnificence of dress.
With the approach of curtain time
and the beginning of the overture
came the usual parade of well-
dressed late-comers of distinction.
Mr. Michael McDowell, escorting
two ladies of fashion, Miss Millie
Lane and Miss Nancy Kimmel,
was closely followed by Sheik
Timothy Miller and his many
wives. The stir in the audience
occasioned by these arrivals was
quickly subdued as the curtain
rose on the first act of "II Vomo
Con La Zapetta" (The Man With
The Hoe).

A "cast of thousands," singing
original (very original) lyrics set
to the purloined music of the
world's great operas, fulfilled in
every way the predictions of the

Class of '61 Shows
Appreciation at Tea

On Wednesday afternoon, May
21, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. the
freshman class will be hostess at
an "Appreciation Party" in the
little quadrangle. The class is
planning their "dressy cotton" tea
for approximately 350 guests in-
cluding freshmen, their faculty
and class advisors, junior sponsors,
sophomore helpers, and others of
the campus community who have
helped the Class of '61 this year.

Gayle Green, over-all chairman
of the party, and Sarah Helen
High, new sophomore class presi-
dent, commented about the tea,
"It will be a Thank You party
from the freshman class to the
people who have meant so much
to us throughout the year."

Pi Alpha Phi Elects
Officers for 7958-59

New officers of Pi Alpha Phi
were elected at a recent meeting
of the debate club. They are
president, Susie White; vice-
president, Nancy Duvall; secre-
tary, Sid Howell; and treasurer,
Lucy Cole.

At the last meeting, three new
members, Faith Chao, Pete Brown,
and Alice Coffin were elected to
membership on the basis of their
tryouts.

At the next meeting, the last
intra-club debate, "Resolved: the
sack should be sacked," will be
held.

illustrious opera critic, Milton
Gross, in a sneak preview on Fri-
day. The soulful arias and duets
of Nancy Holland and Martha
Meyer, who portrayed the two
lovers, Leonora and Rudolpho,
melted the heart of the stoniest
critic.

Delightful antics by statuesque
members of the cast heightened
the success of the production.
Punky Fambrough made a very
convincing chief villain, ably sup-
ported by a host of black-garbed
henchmen led by Shirley Mac-
Donald. The precision performance
of the Palace Guard added an air
of pagentry unsurpassed in opera-
tic history. With the advent of
the thrilling climax to this tragic
story-in-music, Leonora found her
own true love in a dark dungeon,
only to lose him again in the
heights of heart-rending high Cs.

A denouement so surprising
that even the marble props found
it hard to believe united the two
lovers to prove that, after all,
"love will find a way."

Thunderous applause and many
"bravos" accompanied the fall of
the last curtain as the audience
gave the cast a standing ovation.

Dean C. Benton Kline presented

tend theatre, ballet, and opera
performances, music festivals;
visit museums, art galleries, his-

vast program of sightseeing every-
where. Folk dancing and singing,
family entertainment, are import-
ant features and combine to make
this a most enjoyable program of

Florrid Sings Arias
In Russian, German

Last night, Tuesday, May 13,
Gertrude Florrid presented her
junior voice recital in Maclean
Auditorium. Trudy, a music major,
and pupil of Miss Roxie Hagopian,
plans to do independent study
next year in the field of vocal
music. The accompanist for the
program was Patti Forrest. Carol
Promnitz assisted in two numbers
with a violin obligato.

The program consisted of songs
in five languages from the so-
prano's repertoire. Included in the
program were: "O del mio dolce ar-
dor" by Gluck, "La Chanson de
l'Alouette" by Lalo, "Der Knabe
und das Immlein" by Wolf, "Sing
Not, O Fair Circassian Maid" (in
Russian) by Rachmaninoff, "Let
All My Life Be Music" by Spross,
and the aria "Ah, forse e lui" from
Verdi's "La Traviata."

Tryouts for the 1959 yearbook
staff will be held Friday, May
16, from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00
p.m. in the "Silhouette" room

by geographical divisions. Three-
fourths of all Agnes Scott alum-
nae come from Georgia. The four
vice-presidents are responsible for
working with the local alumnae
clubs in their areas and for pro-
moting contributions to the Alum-
nae Fund, which is the total of all
contributions made by alumnae to
the college within the college fis-
cal year, from July to July.

Percentage Increase

According to Miss Ann Worthy
Johnson, the Alumnae Association
is very proud of the fact that,
this year, there was a great in-
crease in the percentage of those
alumnae contributing to the
Alumnae Fund. Alumnae gave a
total of $20,175.75 to the college,
out of which $13,613.25 was "un-
restricted" and can be used by the
college where most needed; the re-
maining donations were designat-
ed for any one of the 21 special
funds contained within the general
Alumnae Fund. Miss Johnson
points out that it is the number
of alumnae who contribute, rather
than the amount contributed, that
is most important; and this year,
40% of all the alumnae made con-
tributions to the fund.

dez-Vous" weekend. Hollis Smith,
dance chairman, has announced
the agenda for this "Rendez-
vous." On Friday night there will
be a planned record party in the
Moulin Rouge Room in Walters
basement from seven-thirty until

A Hoe."

On Saturday afternoon at six-
forty-five, there will be a picnic
on the Infirmary Lawn. Sopho-
mores and their dates will be

walk cafe, red table cloths and
candle light. The "Rendez-Vous"
will end at twelve.

Becky Wilson is in charge of
the Friday night party and Becky
Evans, the Saturday picnic. Kay
Richards is publicity chairman, and
Mary Grace Palmour and Wilma

News reporter notes progress in A.A. Cabin.

A. A. Completes Rustic Cabin,
Plans Shower, Open House

By Corky Feagin

It's here! After six months of planning and work, A.A. is
happy to announce that THE CABIN is on the verge of being
finished.

An open house, tentatively scheduled in two weeks, will
mark the beginning of a busy career for the long-awaited
hideaway. After the dedication

service, Dr. Alston will cut the
red ribbon on the door, and alum-
nae, faculty, and students will see
the interior of the 24x40 cabin.
Martha Meyer and Jorie Muller,
old and new A.A. presidents, will
be hostesses for the affair.
Cabin Features

The house warmers will be inter-
ested, no doubt, in the unique fea-
ture of the rustic interior: a bar.
It divides the kitchen from the
rest of the room.

The big six foot wide fireplace,
the exposed beams in the ceiling,
and the natural finish inside also
add to the cabin effect. Bark on
the outside of the structure is yet
another one of the "log cabin"

characteristics.

Rules for the use of the cabin
have been passed and will be read
at housemeeting the Tuesday be-
fore the open house. The general
policy is as follows:

1. The cabin is primarily for
recreational purposes, but it will
be used by organizations.

2. Reservations must be made
in advance with the vice-president
of A. A., Kay Weber.

Lower House is planning a cam-
pus shower to help furnish the
cabin. Each Lower House mem-
ber will present a list of five
or six needed items to her hall
as possible gift suggestions, such

Old South Resurrects Spurs,
Beards, Southern Gentlemen

By Dolly Bates

"Spring quarter is the best of all!" A list of all the Scotties attend-
ing the various houseparties, formals, banquets, and picnics of the
past weekend certainly seemes to emphasize this popular statement.

Traditional Old South was held at the Standard Country Club
Friday night and the Biltmore Hotel Saturday night. Among those
seen at both functions were: Babe McFadden, Mary Rivers Stubbins,
Kay White, Jane Bennett, Nancy Hall, Joe Robertson, Martha Lam-
beth, Beverly Delk, Margaret Fortney, Lynn Frederick, Carolyn
Tinkler, Wynn Hughes, Drew Blankner, Harriet Harrill, Kathy
Kemp, Rae Carole Hosack, Suzanne Hoskins, Liz Shumaker, Harriet
Jackson, and Helen Culpepper.

The Canterbury houseparty at Rock Eagle State Park claimed
Caroline Mikell, Anne Blackshear, Anne Christensen, Lee Davidson,
Dana Hundley, Joan Lewis, Martha Massey, Renni Dillard, Ellen
Hines, Josie Roden, Betty Sue Wyatt, Gloria Branham, Boo Florence,
Jill Imray, Cynthia Grant, and Anita Moses.

Traveling to Davidson were Carolyn Hazard, Mary Elizabeth Hill,
Melba Cronenberg, and Peggy Jo Wells; while Martha Sharp and
Madge Clark visited the Phi Delts at the University of Florida.

Irene Shaw went to St. Simons and Wardie Abernathy, Pat Ervin,
Anne Pollard, Margie Erikson, Ann Holloman, and Juanita Juarez
went skiing and boating at Allatoona.

Some of the "elite" attending the Tech Koseme banquet at Aunt
Fanny's Cabin were Betty Lewis, Helen Culpepper, Sally Smith, Kay
Richards, and Eleanor Lee.

Another house party given by the Tech Sigma Chi's and held at
Lake Burton, was attended by Tweedy Trammell, Kay Weber,
Judy Albergotti, and Harriet Mosely.

The Sigma Chi's at Emory entertained Mary Wayne Crymes, Becky
Davis, Kay Armitage, and Beverly Rippard. Dianne Foster, Anne
Pollard, and Kay Strain attended a tea given by the TKE's at Tech.

But perhaps the best entertainment of all was provided right here
on our own campus, for the seniors presented the great opera classic
"II Vomo Con La Zapetta," (The Man with the Hoe). Charming Nancy
Kimmel and Millie Lane were there attended by the debonair Mr.
Michael McDowell. Also creating a sensation by their entrance were
Mr. Timothy Miller and his harem.

"We always get our man." Val Edwards and Alice Cochrane proved
this the past weekend by their shining new pins. VaTs is a KA alum-
nus and Alice's man is a Beta at school in Indiana-
Jean Salter and Babe McFadden were the successful ones of the
previous weekend. Jean's man is a Auburn Sigma Nu; Babe's is a
Carolina KA.

Seniors Score Victory Over Juniors;
Duvall Knocks Homer For Sophs Win

The sophomores emerged leading in first place in softball Friday afternoon by defeat-
ing the freshmen 7-5. The freshmen in the top half of the first inning got a run as Pam
Sylvester came in off Betsy Dalton's triple. The sophomores had 1 run and added 3 more
when Nancy Duvall knocked a home run and cleared the bases. The frosh made a double
play, but could not stop the rally, and the sophs made 3 more runs that inning.

After an uneventful second in-
ning, the frosh came to bat and
scored 2 runs in the third inning.
In each of the fourth and fifth
innings, they scored 1 run to make
a total of 5 runs for the game. The
sophomores did not score again af-
ter their first inning rally of 7
points. At the end of the top half
of the fifth inning the game was
called, as the class of '60 already
had the lead.

In the earlier junior-senior
game, the seniors scored an im-
pressive 28-2 victory to tie with
the frosh for second place in the
softball championship thus far.
Both teams scored 2 runs in the
first inning. In the second inning
the seniors gained a lead of 7
points. The big event came when
Martha Meyer hit a double along
third base line and brought in 2
runners. The juniors made no
score that inning.

In the third inning the seniors
had their big rally as they scored
11 more runs. Jo Sawyer stole
home to make the second run of
the inning. Much of the senior
rally was due to junior errors.
Martha Meyer made a home run
off errors. When the juniors came
to bat, they had 3 up and 3 out.

Pat Stewart hit a triple and
later came in to score for the
seniors in the fourth inning. The
juniors made a double play and
retired the seniors. In the final
inning, Jo Sawyer hit a triple and
Shirley McDonald hit a double to
lead the hitting as the seniors
gained 7 more points to win 28-2.

summer; however, the University
Study Tours maintains an office
at Waikiki which will assist its
members in gaining employment.

Waikiki Beach is easily access-
ible by bus from the door of the
University at regular rates.
Special taxi service provides tour
members with service at fares
comparable to bus fares provid-
ing the taxi is completely filled.
Because most of the girls are
traveling to and from the beach
at the same time it is easy to take
full advantage of joint taxi use.

Because this is a summer pro-
gram, the closing hours are more
liberal than those of the main-
land sororities and residence halls.
Nightly closing hours have been
established at 1:00 a.m. on week-
days and 2:00 a.m. on weekends.

This program includes com-
plete sightseeing tours on Oahu
in a variety of excursions to the
most famous sites and major
points of interest at no additional
cost to members. There is a visit
to the Historic Hawaiian battle-
ground in Nuuanu Valley and the
Iolani Palace where only a short
time ago Hawaii's royal family
held court.

The "Aloha Party" is the first
important social event that opens
Hawaii's social season. It is Ha-
waii's official welcome to the mem-
bers of the University Study Tour.

The Introduction party is held
in order that the college girls and
the numerous young men of the
Island have the opportunity to
meet early in the season. Young
officers of the Armed Forces and
students from the island and the
mainland are sent a written invi-
tation.

Highlighting the season is the
Luau, Hawaii's traditional feast,
held at birthdays, weddings, ar-
rivals and departures of friends.

Those interested should write to
Dr. Edwin J. Staley, California
Teachers Association, 693 Sutter
Street, San Francisco, California,
for a descriptive booklet and list
of courses.

In addition to academic studies
there will be island tours, Wakiki
beach parties, formal dinner
dances, and a Pearl Harbor cruise.

The University of Hawaii is lo-
cated in Honolulu on the Island
of Oahu. It lies at the entrance
of Manoa Valley three miles from
downtown Honolulu and two miles
from Waikiki Beach.

The University is fully accredit-

ciation. Students may transfer to
other American, European and
Oriental Universities on the same
basis as students of mainland
Universities.

standing.

The 215 courses in 39 fields of

Browser Reveals Wonder Of Main Tower,
Explores Gallery, Dell, Depths of Presser

By Lil Hart

Walking around the campus for two years in pretty much of a haze, I have been most
unobservant at times. However, the other day, as I was returning from Decatur, I glanced
up among the tree tops and there was Main Tower!

I remembered that this same Tower had been one of the first glimpses of Scott that
I had had, when we had driven up for that very first day. Anyone can see this Tower

~-~~- 7

clearly from a distance. Suddenly
I wondered what could be seen
from the Tower.

Airplane View

I climbed the many steps in
Main, telling myself that the ex-
ercise was good for me, and soon
arrived at the Tower. There was
a soft, whispering breeze which
felt good after the long climb.
I looked out over the trees and,
lo and behold, there was Stone
Mountain! Then I saw Decatur
spread around me and, of course,
an airplane view of the campus. It
was calm and peaceful here among
the tree tops, away from the hus-
tle and bustle of the campus.
Quite refreshed, I descended from
the Tower, to the world below.

Rose Garden

Walking around Rebekah, I
came upon a little rose garden.
I was amazed! I had passed it
by many times, never noticing it
until now. Situated behind Rebe-
kah toward Presser, the garden
was covered with gorgeous roses
in full bloom. I sat down for a
while and looked at the beautiful
red and pink blossoms. They re-
minded me of the people, who give
beauty to life and the world.

An official "thank you" from the
class of '61 is the theme of their
"Appreciation Party" this after-
noon. All freshmen, their junior
sponsors, sophomore helpers, class
and faculty advisors, and others
who have helped the class through-
out the year are invited to the
"dressy cotton" tea from 4:30 to
5:30 today in the little quadrangle
between presser and Buttrick.

Committee chairmen in charge
of the party are: Pete Brown,
food; Renni Dillard, invitations;
Mildred Love, addressing invita-
tions; and Marty Lear decorations.

ambled over to Presser. I went
into the "lower regions" where the
practice rooms are located. Wan-
dering down the hall I was caught
amid the strains of music: piano,
vocal, organ, and violin. Turning
the corner I continued my tour.
This tunnel-like hall reminded me
of underground tunnels and of
the catacombs. I thought back
centuries to the early martys and
shivered remembering the dang-
ers they faced. I recalled where I
was when the hall suddenly seem-
ed to end. Disappointed, I looked
around, and found a door which
carried me into unknown realms.
I finally ended at the back of
Presser. What a mysterious tour!

the long steps to the third floor.
Turning to the left, I walked into
the campus Art Gallery. It was
fascinating. I wandered around
the room, looking at the pictures
on display, trying to apply my
limited knowledge obtained from
one quarter of Art. My curiosity
became aroused again; what was
on the fourth floor? I had often
seen a light there, but I had never
been in such an exploring mood
before. I wandered up the stairs
and found much to my surprise
that it was only a half a floor. I
saw easels, paints, brushes, and
pictures galore. This was Mr. War-
ren's studio quite an enticing
place.

Reverie

Leaving the world of Art, I
ambled down through the May
Dell, admiring the "greenery".
Having a lot of energy, I con-
tinued on to the Observatory. In
front of the Observatory a little
ways from it, was a clearing with
a picnic table and a little stream.
With the flowers in bloom, and
the murmur of the stream, I felt
transcended into another world.
Here I lingered for awhile musing
over the beauty of the spot and
the quietness. It was wonderful
just to sit and to think without
interruptions, and without being
hurried . . . just mediating. . . .

2 O THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, May 21, 1958

Perspective

Those of us who have ridden out a thunderstorm 10,000
feet above the earth in a bucking, trembling plane have
known the feeling of utter helplessness and of awe that
surges through us during such an experience.

On a recent flight, our constellation literally plowed its
way through a mass of boiling clouds; hammering rain drown-
ed out the engine's roar, lightening flashed by the window.

Aside from the excitement and the fright with which the
air was charged, there was the overpowering feeling of
being absolutely suspended in time and space. Outside the
window, a flowing wall of nebulous gray shut out color,
light, and objects from our view. We passengers felt an
uncanny sense of arrested motion, of complete suspension.

As we suddenly broke through the cloud, and looking down,
saw once more the wide earth dotted with doll houses and
toy cars, shining lakes, and patterned fields, we marvelled
at the world below.

Flying thus so far above, suddenly thrust into the sun's
rays again, we realized how small and insignificant our life
can be, viewed from a different perspective. We wondered if
God, watching over all our frantic days, is not often amused
as He, eternal, sees the constant race of Hiss creation against
time.

We need to be reminded of the importance of getting above
the situation, viewing the whole. The trees grow pretty
thickly at times. It is only from a clear perspective, and with
an intelligent realization of the whole that personal, and
world problems can be viewed: Algeria, Nixon and South
America, the roommate situation, the boyfriend, the faith. CD.

Beginning Of End

"Sixteen more days until I leave this place . . . Three more
eight-thirties. Two more big papers. Exams, glug ... If I live
through this mess, I swear I'll never look at another printed
page . . . Only three more pages in this chapter."

Undoubtedly these and many other restive thoughts have
been flashing through most of the 600 (700, including faculty,
etc.) minds on this campus. The main idea is "Get through,
get out, get home." No one can blame us for feeling this way
after a long, cold winter, and after a year of stretching our
minds. We are on the verge of declaring that the elasticity
has completely worn out.

Nevertheless, looking back on Agnes Scott's long and
fruitful history, and looking around at the very much alive
alumnae, we have to admit, unfortunately, that our case is
not unique, and that very few of us will have a stroke before
exams, and that even fewer will drop dead during or as a
result of them.

The sophomores are struggling through T.S. Eliot; in philo-
sophy the 201 classes are hurrying to become acquainted with
the modern thinkers. There are recent developments to be
understood in U. S. and European history. In Bible there are
the pastoral epistles and Revelations to be examined. There
is yet so much more to squeeze from all our subjects; perhaps
this last juice will be the sweetest of all.

As Stephano says, "Corragio!" The end is in sight, but the
journey is still not over. C.F.

True Value

One morning several years ago, a teacher asked her class
if any of them was an artist. Being indoctrinated with the
virtues of humility, the members of the class naturally failed
to reply. The teacher urged the class to respond. Someone
replied that she wasn't an artist she couldn't even draw a
straight line with a ruler. The teacher's eyes twinkled and
she answered, "But there are two kinds of artists those
who create and those who appreciate. One is just as valuable
as the other."

Not everyone can write verse or paint, but appreciation
of these is a highly cultivated art. Not every one can play
hockey or be president of the student body or class leader,
but the appreciation of these and the things behind these is
something of high value and worth.

By appreciation of all that Agnes Scott is, I do not mean
worship, but a realization of worth. This means standing for
and praising what is good, but realizing weaknesses and
failures. This appreciation, this true spirit of Agnes Scott,
can incorporate into us the creation of the ideals. We become
a part of the art and not separate from it. N.D.

Campus Survey

Poll Affirms 'News 7
Name Change Due

It has long been felt that "The
Agnes Scott News" needed a more
original name. This feeling stem-
med from the fact that the "News"
once had a name with more char-
acter, the "Agonistic," but people
confused it with the word agnostic.

Name Suggestions

Therefore the name of the paper
was changed to the "Agnes Scott
News." The results of the follow-
ing pU seem to indicate that
the general concensus of opinion
favors a change although an op-
posite feeling was stated in two
instances. Some interesting new
names were suggested.

Mary Elizabeth Hill I like the
present name because it sounds
solid profound.

Mary Lair: There is a definite
need for something more indivi-
dual. We should have a contest;
everyone comes from different
places and should have different
suggestions. We need something
more creative.

Curt Swords: I suggest we
change the name to "die Kunde"
(German for news). The name
"Agnes Scott News" has no real
personality. It should be changed
to something orignial that not
only implies news but knowledge
too.

Emily Parker: Everything that
has character must have a name
with character.

Anne Tilly: I suggest "Great
Scott."

Shirley McDonald: I do think
we need to change the name to
something more original.

Tish Moye: I'm in favor of the
present name. Simple things are
better than elaborate ones.

Wendy Boatwright: We need
something with more uniqueness.

Pee Wee Fowlkes: We need a
cute name with lots of personality.
Perhaps the "Scott Scholarly" or
the "Scott Scapers" would do.

Janice Powell: The name of a
publication is one of its most im-
portant features. It pains me deep-
ly that our name "The Agnes
Scott News" does not exactly ex-
cite the individual. Permit me to
suggest "The News Nose" which
is good because of its ambiguity
"The News Knows." I predict that
this would be impressive and I
would not like any "News No's" to
my request.

Anti-U.S. Feeling Greets Nixon

By Susie White

Concurrent with anti-American reprisals in South America,
an Algeria rebellion erupted in Lebanon against the pro-
West government of President Chamoun.

While Western observers questioned the source of the

rebellion, Chamoun pointed to pro-Nasser agitators. Until

recently Lebanon has strongly ad- T . n , P ^ . ,

embassy on the sixth day of vio-

Realizing the possible danger
of the immediate situation, the
U.S. offered "police equipment"

Prize Film Returns;
Army, Tech To Sing

By Betsy Hammond

Some unusually good films are
high spots in the week's enter-
tainment picture, in addition to
Atlanta Cracker baseball and Var-
iety Show in Grant Park.

Still playing at the Fox is "The
Young Lions," the intricate and
moving story of war and what it
does to men, with Marlon Brando,
Montgomery Clift, and Dean Mar-
tin starring.

"Desire"

At the Roxy is "Desire Under
the Elms," adapted from Eugene
O'Neill's powerful play. Said to be
one of the frankest, most adult
films ever screened, it should make
an interesting comparison for
those who saw Drama Tech's re-
cent production of (he play. The
top cast includes Anthony Perkins,
Sophia Loren, and Burl Ives.

"Nights of Cabiria," Academy
Award winner for best foreign
film, is playing at the Art. The
chief attraction is its star, Guiliet-
ta Massina, one of Europe's finest
actresses, seen by U. S. audiences
in "La Strada."

The Rialto has brought back
one of the best American films
of the last ten years, the much-
praised "From Here to Eternity."
Winner of 8 Academy Awards and
numerous other prizes, it stars
Montgomery Clift, Burt Lancaster,
Frank Sinatra, Deborah Kerr,
and Donna Reed.

Baseball fans will be happy to
know that the Atlanta Crackers
will play Chattanooga at Ponce
de Leon ball park the 19th, 20th,

tertainment can be found in Grant

Hey, what's all the excitement?
It looks like Natalie and some

Banquets, Dances, Sun V Sea
Appeal To Campus Dwellers

By Jennie Miller

With parties, parties, parties at Tech, Emory, and here on the
Agnes Scott campus, as well as house parties all across the state,
Scott girls have been very busy.

The Tech ATO's entertained Betty Sue Wyatt, Jane Kelly, Polly
Brooks, Marty Young, Raines Wakeford, Becky Davis, Diane Foster,
Carroll Conner, and Jean Corbitt Saturday night with a Hawaiian
party.

Seven of the thirteen sponsors for the Honors Day Awards at
Georgia Tech Friday night were Scott girls. Kay Weber, Theresa
Kindred, Diane Parks, Dee Harvley, Ginger Marks, Lea Kallman, and
Virginia Aderhold sponsored for members of the R.O.T.C. units, while
Katherine Hawkins, Panni Doar, and Gloria Branham looked on.

Several young art lovers were fascinated by the Atlanta Art Festival
display in Piedmont Park last week. Seen viewing the pictures on
display were Sybil Strupe, Jane Law, Ellen Casewell, Sissy Baum-
gardner, Janice Bowman, Kay Armitage, Caroline Thomas, and
Mickie North. Those who also appreciate one of the other forms of
art enjoyed Drama Tech's presentation of "Abbie's Irish Rose."
Among them were Marsha Lear, Barbara Baldauf, Alice Boykin,
Susan Shirley, Rose Marie Regero, Pat Ervvin, Anne Pollard, Margaret
Lipham, and Martha Brock Hanna.

Enjoying the sun and warm spring weather, Eve Purdom, Betsy
Dalton, Jean Abendroth, and Jorie Muller spent the day Saturday at
Allatoona, while Jo Ann Brownlee, Jane Lair, Becky Evans, Gladys
Ferguson, and Prudy Moore dipped in Pine Lake.

Also picnicking and enjoying the outdoors were Kay Richards,
Mary Clayton Bryan, Nell Archer, Mary Park Cross, Millie McCravey,
Linda Grant, and Mike Booth, who were present for the Toastmasters
Picnic at Chastain Park. Nancy Batson, Jane Cooper, and Carolyn
Davies went on a retreat sponsored by the Druid Hills Presbyterian
Church to Allatoona. Jody Webb enjoyed the facilities of Lake Rabun
this weekend, where she attended an Emory Chi Phi house party.

Also out of town for the weekend were Mary Wilson and Cynthia
Grant, who visited at U.N.C. in Chapel Hill. Lake Summit in North
Carolina beckoned to Louise Law and Jane Matthews. Leslie Sevier,
Ann Sims, and Carolyn Cushman traveled to Spartanburg, S.C., and
Betty Mitchell, Ann Womeldorf, and Susan Abernathy went home
with Betsy Lunz to Charleston. But weekend travel was not limited
to the Carolinas. Mary Bruce Rhodes had a delightful time at the
University of Georgia in Athens, and Kathryn John and Joanne
Beaton watched the air show at Dobbins Air Force Base.

Here in Atlanta and right on the Scott campus, things were buzz-
ing, too. Many, many sophomores danced in the street in front of
Walters and the gym Saturday night, while strains from the combo
filled the campus.

Just across town on the Emory campus, parties were also lively.
The ATO's entertained Martha Ann Williamson, Susan Shirley, and
Betty Gzeckowicz. Ann Whisnant attended an SAE dinner party. At
the Phi Delta party were Ann Hawley, Myra Glasure, Jo Flowers,
Peggy Edney, Gretchen Elliot, and Jo Robertson. Bessie Murphy, Alice
Frazer, and Rosemary Kittrell visited the Beta Theta Pi house. The
Emory Glee Club held a dance at the East Lake Country Club Friday
night which attracted Eve Purdom, Jane Law, Harriet Jackson, and
Rachel Fowler.

Diane Trammell, Mary Jane Pfaff, Mary Wayne Crymes, and Judy
Albergotti danced to juke bo\ music at a Tech Sigma Chi record
party. Judy Webb, Becky Wilson, Laura Knake, Linda Jones, Lil
Hart, Lisa Ambrose, Virginia Philip, and Bunny Henry helped the
Beta's at Tech celebrate at a party Saturday night. Caroline Ryman
and Martha McKinney attended a Tech Phi Delt party while Betty
Lewis, Eleanor Hill and Judy Houchins were seen at the SAE house.
Judy IVIaddox enjoyed a PiKA (Tech) party at Snapfinger Farm Sat-
urday night.

At a Beaux Architecture Party at Robinson's Friday were Cynthia
Butts and Virginia Thomas. On the same night, Evelyn Scofield and
Diane Snead represented Scott at a Tech "Y" leadership retreat.

First Hopkins attended a party given by Lang Sydnor and Mary
Jo Covvart for Rosalyn Warren, Dot Ripley and Sara Margaret
Heard, who will be married this summer.

Mary Ann McSwain had a visitor from Davidson for the weekend
who left a KA pin, and Martha Massey became pinned to a Tech boy.
Also receiving a KA pin from a seminary boy (Florida Alumnae) was
Marion Barry.

Kline and Sawyer share left field duties at senior
practice.

Jubilant sophomores celebrate final victory.

In the final games of the season Friday afternoon, the sophomores defeated the juniors 10-
4 to capture the softball championship and the seniors defeated the frosh 13-5 to place
second.

The championship game started slowly, but wound up full of action. Neither team scored

or presented a great threat of scoring in the first inning. In the second inning Kathryn

John got a single and finally came , , t . ,

doubles by Stewart, Edwards

The juniors remained scoreless.

The third inning brought two

The sophs made their big rally
in the fourth inning as Sally
Smith led off with a single. Mary
Jane Phaff's beautifully placed
single brought in Smith for the
first run. Fuller got on first and
Duvall's triple brought home both
Phaff and Fuller. Duvall came in
off Imray's hit. Then Peace Fe-
well knocked a triple and Imray
scored. Fewell came in and Kath-
eryn John stole home making 7
runs for the inning.

Junior Scores

The sophomores got a little
lattled while in the field, and
Matthews and Currie scored off
errors. Neither team scored in the
final inning.

In the previous game the sen-
iors led off, but were retired with-
out threatening. Boog Smith was
walked in for the freshmen's only
score that inning. However, as the
third out was made, three fresh-
men were left on base.

The second inning the seniors
scored 7 runs to gain a big lead.
The hitting was highlighted with

Study In Paris Promises
Memorable Year Abroad

By Lil Hart

Out came the French books, old and new, large and small,
borrowed and bought, when Kay Fuller received her accept-
ance for Smith College Junior Year in Paris. While her
fellow classmates will be struggling through their junior
year here at Scott, Kay will be attending the University of
Paris. Sounds like fun doesn't it?
Well, of course, if you speak
French. Not only will Kay be at-
tending classes in French, but she
will also be living with a French
family.

The group from Smith will dock
in Le Harve on September 9 and
will go to Paris on the same day.
Kay will join them in ALx on Sep-
tember 10, since she will be at
home in Ramstein, Germany, this
summer entertaining three Agnes
Scott tourists. Six weeks will be
spent touring Provence, the sou-
thern part of France, and be-
coming familiar with the language.
On November 2, the University
session begins.

While living in Paris next win-
ter, Kay hopes to take in all the
concerts, the Comedie Francaise,
and local tours of Paris and the
suburbs. Kay's vacations are in-
triguing: ten days at Christmas,
five days for Mardi Gras, and ten
days for Easter. Envy her? Also,
since Paris is only six hours from
her home, vacations and some
week ends will be spent with her Ka y Fuller outlines plans for

Seniors Elect Life President,
Establish Friendship Groups

The title, "president for life," was given to Martha Meyer
by the senior class at the last class meeting. The other life
officer, secretary, will be Jo Sawyer. Although the office of
president will be held for life, a new secretary will be elected
at the '58 class's first reunion in April of next year. Another

one will be elected at the next
reunion which will be in four or
five years.

As life president, Martha will
write a letter each year to all
the members of her class telling
about the current campus func-
tions and the date of the next re-
union. She will strive to keep the
class together as a whole and keep
^n contact with the members
throughout the years.

Jo, through her duties as sec-
retary, will compile all informa-
tion, new addresses, marriage an-
nouncements, and other interest-
ing news about the members, and
will send this material to the Alu-
mnae Association to be printed in
the "Agnes Scott Alumnae Quar-
terly."

Helping the secretary in gath-

ering information will be the chair-
men of the friendship groups.
These groups will be honored with
"morning cocktails" at 11:15 at
the Alumnae House on May 30
and June 2, 3, and 4.

The nature of the senior class's
annual gift to the college will be
a secret until Class Day, June 7,
when it will be presented to Dr.
Wallace Alston, president, in the
May Day Dell. Gifts will also be
given to Miss Nancy Groseclose
and Dr. and Mrs. Henry Robinson,
class sponsors, and to Floyd Mar-
tin, class mascot.

Money was raised for the gift
by the dry cleaning project, the
Senior Opera, the sale of Agnes
Scott mugs, and the china dis-
play. Harriet Talmadge was the
chairman of the gift committee.

The Unexamined
Life

Several weeks ago our college community ws shocked and
saddened by the sudden death of a former student as the
result of an automobile accident.

Many of us knew her personally, some of us knew her by
the fine record that she had made as president of the student
body, as an active participant in sports and in dance group,
as an honor graduate. Each of us, stunned in turn by the
report, disbelieving, felt rather than heard the question that
hung unspoken in the air: why?

Why so young? Why with such talent? Why with such
energy, such vitality? Life flown with tires' sickening skid
on wet pavement. Why?

We questioned, as we question now, and it is good that we
are not afraid to ask, why? We seek honestly to justify this
death. Yet we are acutely aware of our limited knowledge,
our imperfect vision, and we know that we cannot hope to
find the ultimate answer.

But there are deeper questions involved, and most of us
have been forced to think of the experience in relation to
ourselves. As a result, we have wondered about the meaning
of our own lives, and especially about our four years here:
just what we have put into these years; what we have gotten
from them this far; the worth of a struggle to mature, to
grow; the value of our lives for others up to now; the purpose
of our lives ahead.

We cannot know the ultimate reason for the death of a
talented young friend; in the re-evaluation and re-commit-
ment of many lives perhaps a small part of the answer
lies. CD.

Do We Care?

Last year a certain phrase resounded through our campus
life: Be Aware, Care, Share! As we finish out Spring Quar-
ter this year, the phrase almost becomes a memory. There's
not much awareness, caring, or sharing. What is the reason
for this? Is it Spring Fever, approaching exams, or just
plain indifference?

Several weeks ago our four new presidents spoke in
Chapel concerning their responsibilities to the student body.
Few people heard these talks; few people were even aware
that they were given.

Many people seem to be moving along in their own little
worlds full of academic work, that special fellow, thoughts
of going home, and mostly themselves. A person like this
feels, "Well, so the cabin is to be dedicated. So what? There'll
be lots of people there. I won't have to go." Perhaps if
some of her friends decide to go, she'll go too, herded along
from one event to the next.

It's not that people are against what goes on on campus.
They are just indifferent towards it all. Now is the time be-
fore it's too late to fight against this, to start sharing, to
start caring, and to start being aware. B.G.

Letter To The Editor

Door Catches Eye
Of Pleading Student

Dear Editor:

It has been on my mind some-
time now to call the attention of
the Agnes Scott community to one
of our sore spots.

With graduation approaching
and many new visitors coming es-
pecially for that time, I would like
for us to be in tip-top shape. Let
us therefore see that the back
door of Rebekah Scott Hall gets
a sorely needed coat of paint.

As this building is the first
thing you see on Buttrick Drive,
I am afraid that our impression,
as of the present time, is rather
down-at-the-heels.

Let us open our eyes to the
needs of our college and make it
the best place possible.

An Interested Student.

Internationally Speaking

France Courts Civil War
As Military Defies Paris

By Susie White

When the "dry guillotine" of an Assembly vote beheaded
the Gaillard Government in April, the United States, recog-
nizing the Algerian situation to be the actual cause of the
instability of the French government, used moral persuasion
to hasten Franco-Algerian compromise.

The deputies feared that an

open move toward negotiation
with the Algerian rebels would
instigate a revolt of French of-
ficers and sett-
lers in Algeria.
Nevertheless, the
possibility of Al-
gerian compro-
mise became a
lice issue while
:he parties were
negotiating on
programs for
White new coalition
governments. Former Premier
Bidault failed in his attempt to
form a right-wing government
committed to fight to the finish
in Algeria. His attempt had been
vetoed by the titular head of his
own Christian Democratic Party,
Pierre Pflimlin. Although Pflim-
lin avoided the use of the term
"negotiated peace" he did come
out for "conversations" with rebel
leaders to explore conditions for a
possible compromise.

Algerian Revolt

As Pflimlin rallied enough sup-
port so that he appeared to be
succeeding in forming a new gov-
ernment with himself as Premier,
the fears of the Assembly proved
justified, for the promised revolt
by Army officers in Algeria in
case of peace negotiations became
a reality.

On May 13, in less than 24
hours, France was led to the edge
of civil war. Two French generals
seized control of Algeria by form-
ing a Committee of Public Safety
and demanded that de Gaulle take
control of France. The plans of

reason it out so quickly?

Student: I have a cousin at
home who is twenty-two, and he's
only half crazy.

the French generals were com-
parable to those of General Fran-
co when the Spanish Civil war was
touched off in 1936 by the revolt
of Spanish troops in Morocco.
However, no generals with troops
in France followed the challenge
of the officers in Algiers and the
riot of students and war veterans
of the extreme right who stormed
the French Assembly in Paris was
put down by the police.

The Communist attempt to
form a "popular front" with the
moderate parties also failed to
gain support.

French Republic
De Gaulle finally issued a state-
ment declaring that he was ready
to assume power, which was later
modified by the stipulation, "only
within the absolute Framework of
republican legality." However in
Algiers the head of the Committee
was beginning to explain he had
no intention of insurrection while
in the Assembly Mr. Pflimlin was
voted broad emergency powers.

While the tense situation in
France promises to be long and
dangerous, new developments arise
daily.

After Seven

'Rebel' Premieres;
Art Exhibit To Open

By ANN PARKER

Before the real grind of exams
begins, Atlanta offers a variety
of entertainment for that "last
fling."

World Premiere

Spotlighted in the movie field
is the World Premiere of "Proud
Rebel" at the Rialto Theater on
May 28. Here in person will be
Samuel Goldwyn, Jr., producer of
the film, and stars Alan Ladd and
Olivia de Haviland. Ladd's son,
David, is introduced in this movie.

The film deals with the Civil
War period. Alan Ladd's wife is
killed during the Battle of Atlanta.
His son, seeing her die, loses his
voice. The father's attempts to
help his son regain his voice
form the plot of {he film. The film
will run here for several weeks.

"Desire Under the Elms," based
on the play by Nobel Prize win-
ner, Eugene O'Neill, continues at
the Roxy. Sophia Loren, Burl Ives,
and Anthony Perkins hold the lead-
ing roles.

At the Fox, "Hot Spell" stars
Shirley Booth and Anthony Quinn
in a taut drama of family con-
flicts.

Kress Art

Art lovers will welcome the
opening of the permanent Kress
Collection at the Atlanta Art Mu-
seum. Composed largely of paint-
ings of the Venetian School, it
includes paintings of Bellini, Car-
paccio. Ricci, Tintoreitto, and Tie-
polo. Some are world famous, such
as Bellini's "Madonna with Land-
scape." Special exhibits now at
the museum include a National
Ceramics Art Show, and photo-
graphy by Jaques Wolfe.

Seniors throng cabin at openhouse following dedication.

Give Seniors Ten Years
See Changes In U. S. Life

By Jane Law

Good heavens! Are you teary because you think after
June you'll never again hear "We are tired old Seniors"? In
about ten more years you will no doubt wish that those
words had never pepped up that once stately song. My bet
is that school children, farmers, housewives, and engineers

will all be whistling or humming
this tune while they work cen-
turies from now. This and other
songs characteristic of 1958 grads
are destined to permeate all areas
of life and to be number one on
the International Juke Box. Why?
Because this year's Seniors will
be filling every position previous-
ly known or unknown among the
civilized world.

Pretend that you are a few
years older, married to a travel-
ing salesman, and the mother of
four next year. You've settled
temporarily in California, and the
time has come for you to enroll
one of your children in school.
Imagine your surprise when you
hike up the stairs and go huffing
into the room to discover Rain-
drop or Wolk disciplining the kids
with call downs and campuses.
Regardless of what state you live
in, the Carolinas, Virginia, Geor-
gia, or even Texas, you will be
able to find at least one good
school with Agnes Scott teachers
passing on their liberal arts edu-
cation.

If you happen to be a staunch
Presbyterian, you may be de-
lighted to find yourself entertain-
ing Becca Fewell, Dot Ripley, or
Pinky McCall when you invite the
preacher and his wife to supper.

find yourself cooking for Frances

One cold wintry day you and
your mate have the chance to fly
over to Europe on company busi-
ness. How odd you feel when you
wake up to spy Lang Sydnor or
Mary Jo Cowart smoothing the
pillow behind your hubby's head!

If you ever make it to Alaska,
be sure and let Jimsie Oeland
know ahead of time that you are
coming, so she can fix her best
whale casserole for you. If you
get over to Germany in June, you
will be able to witness Susan
Hogg's wedding in the morning,
and you will be able to witness
Susan Hogg's wedding in the
evening.

One hot Saturday morning while
you're bargain hunting, you may
be overpowered by an all female
chorus shouting "We are tired old
Seniors." When you drop your
new purchase and scurry to trace
the noise to its source, you will
find yourself in the unemploy-
ment office.

Glee Club Presents
Concert in Chapel

This morning in convocation the
Agnes Scott Glee Club presented
a concert of varied songs. The pro-
gram, described as "light and en-
tertaining" by Sylvia Ray, presi-
dent of the Glee Club, consisted of
the following:

Group I included "Bless the
Lord, O My Soul," the Agnes
Scott special hymn; "Green-
sleeves," an old English lute melo-
dy arranged by Fred Waring;
"Take Joy Home," by Bassett;
"Lost in the Stars," by Kurt Weill,
from Maxwell Anderson's famous
Broadway musical of the same
name; and "The Year's at the
Spring," by the poet Robert
Browning taken from his poem,
"Pippa Passes," and put to music
by Mrs. H. H. A. Beach.

Included in group II were "Bali
Hai" and "I'm Gonna Wash That
Man Right Outa My Hair" both
from the long running Broadway
show, Rodger's & Hammerstein's
"South Pacific." "You'll Never
Walk Alone," written by Rodgers
& Hammerstein and arranged by
Fred Waring, and "Lolly toodum,"
an American folk song, also were
sung by the Glee Club.

Men of 'Technique Weaken,
Pick Inmate For Sweetheart

By Dolly Bates

The slightly shortened list of "dated" Scotties seemingly pointed
to the approach of exams. However, blue skies beckoned and drew
many of us from our studies to house parties, Allatoona, Pine Lake,
Ida Cason Gardens and other similarly inviting places. Betty Gzecko-
wicz emerged victorious from the weekend with an ATO pin
Congratulations !

Congrats are extended to Caroline Ryman who became pinned to a
Phi Delt at Tech.

Peg Fanson is glowing over the diamond from her Tech man, and
busily planning a summer wedding.

Another spohomore reigns at Tech. Kay Richards was chosen sweet-
heart of the "Technique" by the hard-boiled staff members of our
neighboring campus paper.

Betsy Lunz travelled to Clemson, while Franny Elliot and Jean
Salter spent a busy weekend at Auburn.

The cool Venetian Pool proved more attracting than the broiling
Inman or Walters sun porches. Seen there were Rosa Barnes, Bunny
Henry, Ann Tilly, Virginia Thomas, Jean Abendroth, Judy Albergotti,
Beverly Carter, Jane Cooper, Panni Doar, Ellen Hines, Sue McCurdy,
Boog Smith, and Janice Bowman.

Robinson's was the setting for a Phi Delta Theta party which was
attended by Martha Lambeth, Missy Moore, Nancy Moore, Cynthia
Butts, and Anita Moses.

House partying this week-end, Laura Knake, Becky Wilson and
Judy Houchins were among the Beta dates; Anne Dodd and
Virginia Phillip dated Chi Phis. Suzie Orme attended the Phi Sigma
house party while Marty Young partied with the Delta Sigmas at
Lake Burton.

Mimi Phillips, Julia McNairy, Mary Elizabeth Webster, Emily
Bivens, Barbara Specht, and Cynthia Grant were entertained at Joy
Lake by the Delta Tau Deltas.

But Pine Lake wins the popularity prize among these Scotties: Val
Edwards, Mary Jim Clark, Jane Law, Linda Dancey, Sibley Robertson,
Lisa Ambrose, Marion Barry, Wynn Hughes, Ann Rivers Payne,
Becky Evans, Myra Glasure, Ann Hall, Babe McFadden, Helen Cul-
pepper, Margaret Dexter, and Anita Sheldon. Margaret Woolfolk and
Phyllis Cox bore witness to the sun's heat by their glowing red
complexions.

Betsy Hammond, Lee Davidson, Linda Ingram, Anne Pollard, Betsey

and ski'd at the traditional spring attraction, Allatoona.

The Miami Triad dance at the American Legion Hall in Avondale
attracted Bonnie Best, Ann Broad, Martha McKinney, Mary Jane

During Agnes Scott's sixty-ninth Commencement exercises in Gaines Chapel this morn-
ing, President Wallace M. Alston announced the annually awarded honors and prizes for
achievement in scholarship during the 1957-58 session.

For the second year, the three students ranking first academically in the rising sopho-
more, junior and senior classes were designated as "Stukes Scholars," in honor of Dean
Emeritus Samuel Guerry Stukes.
On the basis of work done during
the past year, the following were
selected for this recognition: jun-
ioi Susie Evelyn White, a history
major from Winston Salem, North
Carolina; Martha Gilreath Thom-
as, a sophomore from Asheville,
North Carolina; Kaihyrn Page

tory major, Wardie was elected
1958-59 Mortar Board president
this spring. The scholarship was
made possible by funds established
by Dr. Sentelle of Davidson, North
Carolina. The income is awarded
each year by a committee of the
administration to a student of
outstanding character, personality,
intellectual ability, and scholar-
ship.

After "four long years of labor," what ao the weary old
seniors plan for next year? Sleep? Vacation? Rest? No,
WORK! Always shining, that's the class of 1958.

Graduate school claims quite a number of these
students. Judy Nash journeys

to Peabodv, while

Nancy

Kimmel migrates to Iowa State.
Jean Clark will study at Yale, and
Joanne Brownlee at Mt. Holyoke.
Columbia boasts two graduates.
Lue Robert and Grace Chao.
Grace also plans to work at the
International Law Library. Caro-
lyn Magruder will spend her next
year at the University of Pennsyl-
vania.

There are many who will be
battling the nine o'clock traffic
to reach jobs before the last
stroke of that fatal hour. Jo Saw-
yer will begin her day at the Coca
Cola Company in Atlanta. Marilyn
Adams will start her day in the
lab of the Ga. State Department.
Sheila MacConochie, Caro Mc-
Donald, Joan St. Clair, and Louise
Law hope to begin their morn-
ings next fall working for various
concerns in Atlanta. Shirley Law-
hom goes further south to .loin
in the commuters' rush in Jack-
sonville, Florida.

Teaching

Some students will put into
practice experience learned dur-
ing those hectic practice-teacher
quarters. Following the advice
given years ago to go West, Hazel
Ellis and Margaret Woolfolk will
venture to Bakersville, California
to teach. Clara Ann Starnes goes
to the Lone Star State to become
a schoolmarm in Houston. Punky
Fambrough has decided to stay
in the South, and will teach in
Columbus, Georgia, her home
town. Louise Vanhee goes home
to teach English and American
Literature in Brussels, Belgium.

Frances Gwinn begin their jobs
of Directors of Religious Educa-
tion this fall. Leading a Brownie
Scout Troop will be Pat Gover,
who will work for the Girl Scouts
of America. Cute uniforms!

Thus the Class of '58, though
worn and weary, leaves these hal-
lowed halls of learning for var-
ious tasks, still with the interest,
pep, vitality, and energy which is
their legacy to Agnes Scott.

Speakers Highlight
'58 Commencement

The 1958 Graduation activities
of Agnes Scott College were open-
ed June 8 with Dr. Merriman Cun-
inggim, Dean of the Perkins School
of Theology of Southern Methodist
College delivering the Baccalureate
address, "Two Points in the Adven-
ture." Dr. Cuninggim received his
A. B. Degree from Vanderbilt
University in 1931, and his M. A.
in English from Duke University.

The Commencement address was
delivered by Dr. John R. Cunning-
ham, former president of Davidson
College. Dr. Cunningham, a native
of Williamsburg, Missouri, has
served in pastorates in Mississippi,
Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia.
He was called to be president of
Davidson College in 1941 and was
elected Moderator of the Presby-
terian Church, U. S., in 1947, and
President of the Association of
American Colleges in 1952. Dr.
Cunningham now serves as Execu-
tive Director of the Presbyterian
Foundation, Incorporated. His
headquarters are in Charlotte,
North Carolina.

Four Receive High

2 O THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Monday, June 9, 1958

... Spice of Life

As Droopy leaves our campus after four lively years, there
are many of us who feel the need to express in some way cur
love and our appreciation, and to wish for each graduating
senior the best that the future can offer. Yet any attempt
to convey our deepest feelings too often results in sticky sen-
timentality which borders on insincerity.

Instead of tearv-eyed reminiscing then, we simply and
sincerely want to commend the class of '58 for its independ-
ence, for its refusal to conform to any set pattern as a
group or as individuals. Not long ago President Alston
remarked that each class at Agnes Scott has a unique charac-
ter, a personality all its own. We feel that true individualism
is the distinctive quality of this graduating class, a quality
which has grown healthily and constructively over four
years.

In all c<reas of campus life whether in philosophy class,
in a planning meeeting for Black Cat, in a Hub bull session-
seniors rarely have failed to give a new slant on old ideas,
problems, gripes. Out of their vital creativity there evolved
the first Fine Arts Festival, the Cabin, a successful Social
Council, an indefatigable "Scott'' spirit.

With the sixty-ninth commencement of our college, new
alumnae scatter north, west, east, and south. We who know
the power of honest individualism urge their continued orig-
inality in a world where too many are digging the same
ruts a little deeper each day. We who are to be senior
classes in succeeding years cannot fail to realize the need to
develop our own unique talents. The potential is there; it
must be realized through conscious effort. CD.

Com m u n ica tion

"Summertime, and the livirr is easy . . . ," so the song goes,
w >metiines the living is so easy that we develop a strong
c tergy to the sight of pen and paper. College pals seem
remote and out of reach; that close comradeship with hun-
dreds of other girls of the same age which makes college life
so vital a part of our existence during nine months of the
year fades into near-oblivion for three.

Life in the college community provides the priceless op-
portunity to know many different people very well people
with exciting backgrounds, people from exciting places,
people with exciting ideas. The friendships begun here carry
on beyond college into summer months and into the years
following those spent at school; this continuity of the com-
radeship is an essential part of the spirit found on this
campus.

A post card to a few addresses in the "little red book" dur-
ing the summer can bring the sender a feeling of closeness
to friends who are far away; two cents makes the miles be-
tween seem as nothing. When September comes again, some-
how there is a sense of truly "fitting in" and a feeling that
one is picking up where she left off in the spring in the
company of old friends. S.A.C.

WHEN A SENIOR LEAVES

By Mary Ann Campbell

Have you ever looked into a Senior's ex-room?

Try it sometime 'tis a picture of gloom.

We speak of what's taken away knowledge

And forget all the things we'll leave at college.

In the trashcan, momentoes of past weeks' capers,

A few scraps of ribbon, old Bible papers;

A forgotten message under the chair;

A calendar turned to June so fair;

Concert tickets stuck in the mirrors,

A sprinkling of straight pins, forgotten sissors.

The little things that made this home

Are naught but debris fit for the broom.

We're adults now; to prove it we choose

To leave for Mrs. Smith our old tennis shoes.

One of the best ways to evaluate new experiences is by comparing them to the things
one has known all his life. Living at Agnes Scott has been a great experience for me, and
there was much about it which was exciting because it was so new, or different, from
anything I had ever known before.

I have never known campus life before. Most students in Israel live either in their

own homes or in rental rooms . , ,

fort than others. Usually he will

scattered all over the city. Most
students know just those people
who are mijoring in the same field
a.^ they are. Students, activities
are limited to two or three dances
a year and to one big "student
day" which has become a tradi-
tional day of gaiety in which the
whole city takes part.

I was most - impressed by the
great eagerness to serve the stu-
dent body, which I have seen on
this campus. It was wonderful to
see, during election time, how wil-
lingly people accepted the nomina-
tions for various campus offices.
In universities at home it is very
difficult to find such eager candi-
dates. Most students have to help
support themselves while they are
in college.

The hour load which we have to
carry is much heavier than the one
demanded at ASC. (It is usual for
a student to have 30 to 40 lecture
and lab hours a week. If one has
to spend so much time in class-
room and lab and in addition has
a 15 to 20 hour job, one does not
have much time left for campus
activities or for homework!)

Every student in Israel seems to
feel that many sacrifices had to
be made by others as well as by
himself in order to make his stud-
ies possible. He feels that it is his
responsibility to learn as much as
possible during his time in the
university. He is forced to decide
very early during his studies what
exactly he wants to get out of a
year of college and therefore he
will soon decide which courses or
parts of courses justify greater ef-

be satisfied with a passing grade
in the subjects which he considers
minor and will concentrate his
efforts on the field which he be-
lieves to be most important.

As soon as I arrived here, I was
struck by the outgoing friendliness
shown by everyone, by the polite-
ness, by the graciousness of man-
ner. People at home are usually
very frank with their criticism and
very sparing with their compli-
ments. The frankness and open-
ness is evident in every field of
human contact. Every subject is
freely discussed and most people
are very proud if they can express
an unusual and extreme opinion.
The greatest part of any conversa-
tion in any g.oup (in the age
bracket of 12-65) consists of poli-
tics domestic as well as foreign.
On the other hand, people at home
seem to be less concerned with re-
ligious problems. Agnes Scott has
clone much for me in making me
lace the basic problems of reli-
gion.

To sum up: Being here has been
wonderful. I loved every minute of
it and I wish with all my heart
that at least some of you will have
a similar experience of life and
study in a foreign country (I hope
it is Israel!).

MIRIAM INBAR

than what I could ever learn in
books. What has ASC done for
me? It has deepened my under-
standing of humanity, it has made
me more tolerant of other peo-
ple's opinions, it has given me an
example of an ideal American col-
lege and of a student body that
belongs to the "elite."

American education is criticized
a lot today, particularly abroad.
I think that some criticism is jus-
tified (particularly on what con-
cerns high school education and
early dating). But I think also
that there is much exaggeration.
Believe me, I will always be a de-
fender of "good" American educa-
tion because I believe that there
must exist colleges and universi-
ties which have standards like
ASC, which strive towards first-
rate education.

I think that those two years
could not be replaced! They have
brought me an understanding of
life and of people that has enriched
me very much. To "y'all," thank
you, very heartily.

Business Manager __ BARBARA VARIfER

It is hard to believe that in a
week I will have to leave Agnes
Scott and the Old South which has
become very dear to me.

I want to tell the college faculty
and students how wonderful my
experience has been here and to
thank them for all that I received.

I think that the two years that
I spent here have enriched me on
all points of view. What impressed
me most is the wonderful family
tmosphere of the college. The co-
operation between professors and
students, the keen interest of the
professors for their students, the
informality of relationships, the
mbiance of friendliness and wel-
coming these are the things which
I would like to see also realized
in Europe.

I am very, very proud to "be-
long" to that great family of A.S.
The very high sense of honor of
the students, their deep Christian
outlook on life, their broad inter-
ests in human relationships, their
| eagerness to study, to share with
one another, to help, to try to un-
derstand and to love, all this is
what I cherish most. From ASC
I will take with me even more
than the golden benefit of two
years of study. Knowledge is very
important, and I learned a lot
scholastically. But I will take home
a lot more than mere knowledge.

What I have learned from the
American is far more important

The time has come now when I
must say goodbye to all of you.
I hate to say goodbye because this
term has a sense of finality and I
don't want it to be that way. My
goodbye is a warm and lasting
greeting.

When I first came to Agnes
Scott I was afraid. I did not know
what I was getting into or what
kind of people I would be dealing
with. It did not take long to find
out. I soon realized that Agnes
Scott is my ideal of a College and
I feel greatly honored in being an
Agnes Scott Graduate.

Dr. and Mrs. Paul L. Garber,
Miss Scandrett and Dr. and Mrs.
Alston are only a few of those who
have helped me adjust to my new
environment. My deep gratitudes
go to you all and I j jst cannot say
enough "thank yous." I feel greatly
indebted to the girls of Second
Inman and West Lawn for their
friendship and guidance. You have
helped me more than you think
you have. A special "thank you"
goes to Rosalyn Warren, my soph-
omore helper, for all her unselfish
help.

I feel that my stay here has
been and always will be the crown-
ing experience of my life. As I go
back home I hope to share my ex-
perience with my people in the
hope of promoting understanding
between our peoples.

In closing I extend a personal
and standing invitation for all of
you to come and see me. If you
ever have a chance to come my
way please drop me a note. I will
always welcome your letters.

Sincerely, your friend,

McKinney Award Recognizes
Kimmel For Book Selections

Senior Nancy Kimmel received the Louise McKinney
Award at the graduation exercises this morning, winning a
twenty-five dollar prize.

selection of books which reflect taste and well-developed
The award was made on the basis of excellence in the
intellectual interests on the part
of the owner. In addition, Nancy
was required to show to a faculty
committee that she has a com-
prehension and appreciation of
the works collected. Nancy's selec-
tion of books indicates her interest
in a wide variety of fields, includ-
ing history, poetry, drama and
art. Among her collection were
May Sarton's "In Time Like Air,"
Thomas Rylan's "A Child's Christ-
mas in Wales," and Machiavelli's
"Belphagor."

The four other students compet-
ing in the contest entered collec-
tions ranging in variety from psy-
chology to design. Lue Robert's
selections included books on art,
biology, and philosophy. In fiction,
Lue has collected such classics as
the "Hunchback of Notre Dame,"
and "The Return of the Native,"
and the more recent "Cakes and
Ale" by Maugham, and Pearl
Buck's "My Several Worlds."

In Carol Promnitz's collection
were books on religion, including
Dr. Alston's "Break Up The
Night!"; books on music, sociology
and psychology; works in the
genres of plays, short stories and
novels.

Kay Lamb's selections were
centered around the field of philo-
sophy. Included in her collection
were several of Tillich's books,

Kimmel

and Kahlil Gabran's "The Pro-
phet."

Shannon Cumming's books were
divided into four major categories:
religion, books on nature, books
on poetry, and books on travel in-
cluding Shor's "After You, Marco
Polo."

The Louise McKinney Book
Award was established a number
of years ago as a memorial to
Miss Louise McKinney, professor
emeritus of English. In order for
a student to be eligible for the
prize, she must enter a collection
of at least fifteen books acquired
during the past year. The winner
o p the award is expected to use
it for such intellectual and artis-
tic enrichment as buying records
or attending concerts.

Kline Lists Opportunities
Far Possible Fellowships

"There are many scholarships which are available to col-
lege students for further study after their graduation, and
members of the rising senior class who are interested in
these awards should begin considering them at this time,"
Dean C. Benton Kline states.

The Fulbright Fellowships of-
fer the opportunity for graduate
study in practically every coun-
try in Europe, .Latin America and
Asia. Applications for these fel-
lowships are not available until
this coming fall, but the applica-
tions must be completed by the
middle of October.

All students interested in col-
lege teaching are eligible for the
Woodrow Wilson National Fel-
lowships and the Southern Fellow-
ship Fund. Both of the scholar-
ships are awarded by nominations
which are made in the fall by the
officials of the individual colleges.
Students who are awarded the
Southern Fellowship Fund will re-
ceive three years financial aid for
study toward a Ph.D. degree.
These students should definitely
be interested in a teaching career
in the South.

The Overseas Rotary Club pro-
gram is also available to college
graduates, but these scholarships
may only be acquired through the
individual organizations of the Ro-
tary Club. Student should talk
with the Rotary Club in their
community during the summer
about this program.

"Several hundred fellowships
are awarded by individual uni-
versities," Dean Kline states.
"Some of these are listed on the
bulletin board outside 105 But-
trick Hall, and detailed announce-
ments of these and other fellow-
ships are on file in my office."

Dramatists Present
Portraits of 'Lady'

"Lady, Lady . . . ," a speech
program for commencement, fea-
turing Nancy Kimmel and Mil-
dred Lane, was presented Satur-
day, June 7, at 8:00 p. m. The
program, selected by Miss Roberta
Winter, Nancy, and Mildred, in-
cluded readings, monologues, and
scenes from plays in which the
characters are women.

The program consisted of four
parts. The first part was pictures
of women, living and fictitious.
Brief statements by Helen Keller,
Margaret Chase Smith, May Sar-
ton, Eleanor Roosevelt, Marion
Anderson, arid other famous wo-
men were quoted.

Monologues from "The Diary of
Anne Frank," "Deirde of the Sor-
rows," "A Streetcar Named De-
sire," and "The Member of the
Wedding" followed the quotations.

Nancy and Mildred also gave
dialogues from "Mourning Be-
comes Elect ra" and "A Phoenix
Too Frequent." The last part of
the program included selected
poems of Dorothy Parker.

Both Nancy and Mildred are
seniors and members of Black-
friars.

Ramona's Class Bows Out
Leaving Brilliant History

By Pat Stewart

Saturday afternoon, for the first
time in the history of Agnes Scott
College, a class history was enact-
ed in part. This break with tradi-
tion was necessary, because to
recapture the events and person-
alities of the class of 1958, words
do not suffice.

Welcome

We arrived or invaded in Sep-
tember, 1954. As upper classmen
backed to the walls in fright or
horror, the nicer ones commented:
"Well, you have to admit they're
different." And so we were. We
were greeted warmly and enter-
tained royally with thousands of
welcoming parties where everyone
said "welcome" at least three
times. Especially memorable was
the first night's pajama party.
We were taken up steps, to par-
ties, to speeches, through lines,
through committees, to Tech, and
to Atlanta. Somehow we survived
our enthusiasm and our sense
of our own importance still intact.
Welcoming parties over, we pre-
pared to face our next barrier
classes.

Gym Suits

When we received the grades
for our first English papers, our
reactions varied. Usually though
it was pity for the teacher. "Poor
woman," we reasoned, "she must
not know yet that I always, but
always, get only A's." Our con-
fidence carried over into the so-
cial, athletic, and entertainment
worlds. This was the year we dat-
ed. However, our success was not
as spectacular in the sports world;
yet in our pink gym suits we be-
gan the fad of wearing suits at
least three sizes too big and also
unbelted and thereby anticipated
the sack look by three years.
Black Cat gave us our first chance
to demonstrate to the campus a
sample of our talent. They weren't
as impressed as we wished.
Freshman Exams

As the year progressed, we
came to doubt our intellectual
abilities somewhat. But Harriet's
wearing her lime green hat cheer-
ed us enough to get us through
exams and we soon perfected the
formula for writing papers. This
consisted of keeping a poker face
when the teacher entered the class
room the day before a paper was
due and announced: "I trust you
are in the copying stage." Class
over, we ran back to the dorm
and went to sleep. By midnight we
had at last thought up a topic
to write on. We then proceeded
to produce masterpieces such as
the one which began, "Tomorrow
and tomorrow and tomorrow, the
first line of Shakespeare's "To-
morrow and tomorrow and to-
morrow." By eight the next
morning we cross-eyed with fati-
que had finished and only had
to sit back and await the teach-
er's judgment. For some reason,
this was often "E too bad you
tried." Soon we heard the awful
rumor that ours was the lowest
scholastic average of any fresh-
man class in Agnes Scott's his-
tory. This, we did our best to dis-
regard.

As we had been unawed in the
fall by the upper classmen, so too
were we successful in being
unawed by our athletic and scho-
lastic "records." Even our mas-
cot sad, pessimistic Droopy
could not slow down or shut up
the class. Under his influence we
had written a slow some said

Sue, Nancy, and Sheila prepare to go on stage for their Junior
Jaunt production.

dragging song which was gener-
ally conceded to be atrocious. As
the class began to unite through
friendships that were often form-
ed during water battles, all signs
of Droopy's influence disappeared.
The song was speeded up and its
lyrics, which were now sung with
enthusiasm, expressed our con-
sidered judgment of Agnes Scott
at the end of our freshman year,
for then we could truly say:
"Agnes Scott, we deem you the
best in the land."

Ramona

Sophomore year witnessed the
further development of the traits
which we had shown in '54, only
this year we achieved results.
Many attributed this to the de-
parture of Droopy and the ar-
rival of a new class mascot. This
switch in mascots was unplanned
but welcomed. In an attempt to
escape the expected onslaughter
of seniors armed with loaded
water pistols on Little Girls' Day,
Martha Meyer fled to her room
and put a new schedule blank on
her door. The blank announced
that the room belonged to Ra-
mona Cartwright. Martha's at-
tempt to fool the seniors by get-
ting them to pass her room by
failed, but from the mess emerg-
en a new symbol of the class of
1958 Ramona Cartwright. Ra-
mona was soon endowed with a
personality and early showed an
inclination for philosophy, for
philosophy exams began regularly
to be turned in bearing her name.

Ramona could do no wrong.
She was confident, but she had
just reason to be. Under her in-
fluence, the drive and enthusiasm
of the class of '58 gained direction.
We began to earn in a posit ive
way our title of the class that
was different. Our dramatic tal-
ent was unveiled and rewarded
at Junior Jaunt with our produc-
tion of "Antony and Cleopatra"
which captured first place in the
skit contest.

Ramona's influence was felt
and heard by all the school. Over
the nation, the class of '58 has
been termed the quiet generation.
Our pep rallies proved us an ex-
ception to this rule too. Through
out the year we rose and let our
songs be heard. Pep rallies were
the cry of the day. We even had
one in the grill at 6:30 a.m. be-
fore we went out to pick daisies
for the seniors' class day.

Athletic Cup

Backed up by the enthusiastic
support of the class, the pink gym
suits swept all before them sopho-
more year. We won every major
sport and most of the minor ones
to win the Athletic Cup. Our in-
terest in sports was even reflect-
ed in our dorm life, for we soon
discovered the long halls in Re-
bekah were perfect for bowling

with coke bottles.

Such activities did not detract
us too much from scholastic du-
ties, although we were again forc-
ed to ignore rumors from Buttrick
that we had set for the second
year in a row a new low in scho-
lastic standing. We actually did
not have time to consider our re-
sults in this field, because we were
faced with a crucial decision
what to major in. Seriously, de-
liberately we pondered to which
field we should give our enor-
mous talents. In our innocence,
we imagined that all fields were
clamoring for us and that we had
much to give to each; our only
problem was to choose. Little did
we know that in 1958, the 29th
anniversary of the crash of '29,
there would be to use the words
of the Eisenhower Administration
a business slowdown and that
no one and no field would be cla-
moring for our services. We were
ignorant of the future and in our
ignorance we chose. We then
proudly walked into our major
professor's office to announce to
him his good fortune. We were
greeted with a smile and in the
next two years we often tried
to re-picture that smile to see
just how much sardonic humor
had lurked beneath.

Ramona's confidence gave extra
force to our enthusiasm which
was this year coupled with a deep,
manifested love for Agnes Scott
and developed into spirit. At the
end of sophomore year, we were
awarded the Spirit Cup.

Upperclassmen !

Junior year we felt we were at
last truly upper classmen. In re-
turning we had faced another
hour of decision to transfer or
not to transfer. Actually for us
the decision was not a major one.
Those who even considered trans-
ferring soon discovered that their
grades were not good enough to
do so.

While not suffering an exodus
to other colleges, we none the less
had an exodus one to all corners
of the campus. The junior year
was the year of cottages Ansley,
Hardeman, and Sturgis. The class
not only survived the division;
they emerged from it more united
than ever.

Black Cat

An aid to our unity was the un-
animous frowning-upon our Black
Cat skit received. This was the
skit that unfortunately was not
censored until after it was pre-
sented.

Serving as Junior sponsors also
kept us united. Having seen our
sister class graduate the year be-
fore, we this year welcomed a
new one in the freshmen the
class of 1960. It was our time to

'Tired old Senior' Meyer packs up tor summer at camp.

Waterfront, Raquet Racket
Lure Summer Counselors

The lure of the great outdoors has beckoned Scotties to
fun and frolic in the summer sun throughout the vast U.S.
From all reports, camp life seems to be the most appealing.

A mass trek to North Carolina will begin soon after June
6. Bonnie Gershen, Laura Parker, Martha Meyer, Caroline
Thomas, Ann Sims, Caroline Dud

ley, Sibley Robertson, Mickie
North, Dianne Foster, Mary Jane
Moore, Suzie Orme, and Beverly

a swimming instructor at a day-
camp in Decatur; Margaret Fort-
ney, teaching swimming in Atlan-
ta; Nancy Barr, who will teach
! iding in Atlanta; Karel Kwass

parents, to lug bags up to third
Inman, to find the shortest lines,
to check schedules, to usher the
frosh to parties, speeches, com-
mittees, and meetings and at last
to wave the freshmen off to Tech.
We simply did not have the heart
to warn them what to expect. Be-
sides, no one had warned us.

This was the year of rescuing
Ish from the pound, of reading
of Ramona's escapades in the
paper as she attended such func-
tions as the Eisenhower inaugura-
tion and the Kelly wedding in
Monaco, and this year like all
our years was a year of singing.
Innovations

Our difference as a class had
come to be rejoiced in by us. Our
courage to be different led us
naturally to examine the conven-
tional things in our environment
and the cry ''Down with tradi-
tion!" often arose. In planning
our Junior Jaunt, we eliminated
money competition among the
classes in order to re-emphasize
that Junior Jaunt was a united
campus project for charity. The
laying aside for a year of money
competition also served to unite
closer the campus.

To reward everyone for their
efforts, we produced under tht
direction of Nancy Kimmel our
Junior Jaunt "Dixerama." Hid-
den talent for acting, singing,
and dancing was discovered in
the members of the class of '58:
Uncle Remus and his friends nar-
rated the plot and attempted a
scene from Gone With The Wind,
the chorus sang "Dixie," and the
boll weevils danced to "Yankee
Doodle."

Leadership

Spring time brought elections;
it was now our time to assume
leadership. Nancy Edwards, Sue
Lile, Martha Meyer, and Sara M.
Heard were chosen as the major
officers and in their first chapel
program together set the tone of
their leadership. Feeling that too
often the positive side is neglect-
ed in our attempts to perfect our
college, they chose as their sub-
ject the affirmation of Agnes
Scott and its ideals. Their choos-
ing to stress the positive while at

the same time remaining conscious

of the presence of some negative
aspects which they strove to
overcome would be seen reflected
in their aims and methods senior
year.

The approach of senior-hood
was near. We completed the rest
of spring quarter junior year wait-
ing for May Day to be presented.
This at last occurred; so did the
presentation of cups and trophies.
For the second year in a row, the
pink gym suits won the Athletic
Cup and the class of 1958 won
the Spirit Cup. Our junior year
was ended with a pledge by every
girl that next year could be just
as good, that the class of 1958
had survived much in their three
years arrival, adjustment, other
classes, ourselves and that it
would survive seniorhood.

With this determination we re-
turned to Agnes Scott in the fall
of 1957 as seniors. A hurried check
of physical and mental health
was conducted to determine any
signs of decay and all reported
back: "We are the same as ever
only better." Our chests expanded
with pride as we looked at our
class mates and realized that we
were the magnificent senior class
of 1958.

Remembering the warm wel-
come the seniors our freshmen
year had given us and confident
of our strength and superiority,
we prepared to make the arriving
freshman class welcome. It seem-
ed though that we were a little
unprepared. As droves and droves
of them arrived, we were pushed
back to the wall either in sur-
prise or fright. As we shakily
reached for our aspirins, we sent
a silent apology to the class of
1955 for the way we had treated
them our freshman year. Looking
at each other in dazed horror,
we saw that the other seniors
knew too we were old. The ac-
knowledgment of this, like every
other class event, gave rise to a
song. "We Are Tired Old Seniors"
was the result.

Just because we found out we
were a little older did not in the
least stop us this year. We mere-
ly just rechanneled our interests
and remaining energy. Sports gave
way to productions. Our senior
year will be remembered by us

The magic word among Scotties these days is Europe! Yes, so heavy is the Scott popula-
tion going to be on the continent during the summer months that an official "Agnes Scott
Europe Directory" might well be in order.

One of the largest groups of Scott girls will be with Dr. and Mrs. Frierson on a
Brownell Tour which sails from Montreal on June 17, aboard the S.S. Arosa Star, a Swed-
ish liner. These tourists including | ^^^^^^^^^^^

an from Potsdam State Teacher's
College, the chorus will give a
concert during their four-day stay-
there. The group will then visit
Luxembourg and Heidelberg as
tourists and is scheduled to re-
sume its concerts in Munich.
Other cities which the chorus will

as the year of mass productions
with casts of thousands. Our first
production was the combination
musical history and morbid joke
"Bachtovenzart" for Black Cat.
This was so successful that our
confidence returned in full force
just in time 'or Little Girls'
Day. It was now our turn to
shoot water pistols (this was
quickly vetoed though), to disturb
classes (this was too), to wake
up the whole campus, and just to
be our own obnoxious selves. Sen-
iors were up at 5 in Inman tying
all door knobs together; Mr.
Tart's office was held up; and
Dr. Posey's history class witnessed
a mock wedding in honor of our
classmate Blythe Posey who was
getting married that night.

The next day we put on cur
robes and attempted to look dig-
nified enough to be invested with
seniorhood. Our composure slip-
ped several times; that of the
teachers did noticably when we
broke out into pep songs while
lining up. We survived this as
we had survived all events in our
college career, but we emerged
from In vesture with the knowl-
edge that this year was indeed
the end. Most of us just decided
not to think of this yet, and we
all redoubled our efforts to be
a good senior class.

ing Beauty" for Junior Jaunt
was the result. By now Frances
Gvvinn, who directed our senior
year productions, and her com-
mittee realized that though our
talents were average we ourselves
were unbelieveable. All that had
to be done was to write skits
giving us the chance just to be
on stage. We guaranteed when
once there to make idiots of our-
selves. In "Sleeping Beauty" we
were given many opportunities to
ao so, because each appearance
involved' dancing. UnforgettabLe
was the fairy line-up and the
;ood and evil fairies Martha and
Harriet.

About this time there appeared
in the Hub a cruelty post. On this
were posted sayings appropriate
for the group who was becoming
progressively more panicked over
thoughts of graduation. Also re-
plies to job applications were add-
ed when especially cutting. A list
.was started there for those who
had jobs but not many names
appeared. This fact brought a
rash of new morbid sayings. As
one girl commented; "I really
don't think I would mind graduat-
ing so much if I just had a job."
None appeared and panic began
to set in. The count down of days
until June 9th began, as did sud-
den bursts of tears.

Little Girls gather in Hopkins for final fling.

In sports we differed from pre-
vious senior teams by always hav-
ing a team. We were there to
play every game; the results were
not always kind. The pink gym
suits had become antiquated and
seniors felt they could hear their
joints creak as they tried to keep
up with the younger classes.

As the athletic achievements
dwindled, our success in the thea-
tre mushroomed. The dancing we
had included in "Bachtovenzart"
convinced us that we had the ab-
ility to produce a ballet. "Sleep-

Our general mood sank into
deeper gloom after spring quarter
elections. Not only were we hav-
ing to leave but we were now un-
used discarded "has beens." This
fact naturally hit those harder
who had been than it did those
of us who had never been. Our
largeness of heart was shown by
our decision to include into Motor
Boat the ex-campus leaders from
our class. Motor Boat 1958 had
been organized our junior year
to give those of us who were only
bodies a sense of belonging. Our
motto was "We also serve who
only stand and race our motors."
We found organizing our useless
selves helped junior year and
especially spring quarter senior

were bodies and therefore we be-
came united completely again

West Awaits French, Algerian
Reactions to Premier DeGauIle

By Susie White

The rapid polarization of public opinion in France toward
General Charles de Gaulle on the one hand, and toward the
Communist-led anti-Gaullists during the "French Revolution,"
evidenced a change in the mood of the French people, vacat-
ing the middle ground of moderation, and resulted in a new
government as the center Pre-
mier PfJimlin resigned.

Of basic interest to Americans
were four factors concerning the
revolution :

appeals for

1. The military,
[not street mobs,
I took the initia-
j live:

2. Communists
1 lack the power
[to take over;

3. De Gaulle,
rejecting open

a coup, sought power
received through legal means;

4. The rise of de Gaulle was
supported by modernists who were
swayed by de Gaulle's insistence
that he would not instigate a
military dictatorship.

The revolution has evidenced
the attempt of France to achieve
a strong government once con-
sidered impossible without blood-
shed and within the framework of
legality. However, the West will
watch with interest to see whe-
ther or not tlie new rulers can
manage their revolution, whether
they can pursue a "democratic
republic" while governing the
country to satisfy French arm-
ed forces, the Europeans of Al-
geria, and the mass of French
workers.

'La Servo Padrona'
Scores Here Again

"La Serva Padrona" amused and
delighted Agnes Scott opera lovers,
their families, and their friends
last Saturday afternoon when the
two-act comic opera was present-
ed a part of the graduation activi-
ties. The opera, given first at the
Fine Arts Festival, starred Rose
Marie Regero as Zerbina, James
Cane as Dr. Pandolfo, and Mon-
sieur Thomas as Scapin. It was
directed by Mr. McDowell.

"La Serva Padrona" is an early
eighteenth century comic opera by
Giovanni Batisti Pergolesi. It has
served as a model comic opera
for Italian composers since that
time.

Soph Daisy Quest
Begins Class Day

Six o'clock in the morning on
Saturday, June 7, marked the be-
ginning of the Senior Class Day of
3958. The sophomores breakfasted
at the grill before going to pick
daisies for the daisy chain woven
for the Class Day festivities of
their sister class.

Formal Class Day exercises be-
gan at 4:00 in the May Day Dell,
with the seniors entering in their
caps and gowns, accompanied by
the sophomores carrying the daisy
chain and singing several class
songs to the seniors. The pro-
gram was dramatized on the order
of the senior chapel skit and in-
cluded the senior history by Pat
Stewart and the class poem by
Mary Ann Campbell.

At this time the seniors pre-
sented their gift to the school and
gifts to their sponsors, Miss Nancy
Groseclose, Dr. and Mrs. Henry
Robinson, and the class mascot,
Floyd Martin.

After this the Seniors moved to
the quadrangle to sing the Alma
Mater, which closed the Class Day
exercises.

Luckily Senior Opera time ar-
rived. We thought it was only-
fitting that this our last produc-
tion and the climax of our pro-
duction year should be the very
best thing we had ever done as
a class. And so it was. The plot
was original as were the lyrics.
Music was stolen Lorn every ma-
jor opera known by class mem-
bers. We had truly in this produc-
tion a "cast ot thousands/' Since
very few of us can sing, this tal-
ent was not required in order to
participate. Frances Gwinn, who
by this time had earned the title
of Slave Driver Gwinn, and Pinky
McCall directed our efforts. To
prepare for our roles most of us
went to hear the Met during
Opera Week. We returned confi-
dent that what the Met could do
we could do better.

No one quite understood the
story of our opera. It was some-
thing about a man with the hoe
and the plot was described ap
wonderfully corny by one of our
professors. We had in the opera
gardeners, a chorus of gardeners,
maids, a chorus of maidr>. singing
statues, frightening villains, hero-
ine, art critic, father, and the
chorus of towns people who could
not keep straight faces during
the supposed!}- heart - rending
death scene of the gardener. All
somehow shaped up in time for

ed ^a great success. Our curtain
calls were typical of our class
we did not bow to the audience
end receive their applause but in-
stead all gathered on stage for a
mammoth pep rally in which the
whole school participated.

After senior opera, thoughts re-
turned to graduation. Everything
became for the last lime, and
strings had to be tied together.
First on the agenda of becoming
alumnae was the election of life
time class officers. Martha Meyer
was elected our permanent presi-
dent and Jo Sawyer our first sec-
retary.

We had been welcomed to
Agnes Scott by parties; now the
farewell parties began. The first
one was enlightened, though, by
a pie fight. Groups began singing
"We Are Tired Old Seniors" with
more feeling than ever before.
Especially was this true of the
pink gym suits. They were not
victorious this year but their abil-
ity to lose with grace won them
the sportsmanship trophy for all
three quarters.

Our last days were enlivened
by an attempted panty raid, the
freshman serenade, and by the
knowledge that exams would soon
be over for ever. Changes began
to occur in our ways of thinking.
Having had our last exam, the
awful fact hit us that we were far
from educated. We. who had in-
vaded this campus four years be-
fore and pushed people aside to
make room for us. now begged to
be allowed to stay. However, Dr.
Alston did not seem too enthusi-
astic for our plan to establish an
Agnes Scott graduate school just
to give us a place to go next year.
We who had loved the school for
four years found that serving it

Scott we had found a school whose
aims were our ideals and here
we had seen that the ideals were
possible of attainment. It was this
plus all the friends we had made
at Agnes Scott that made us blue
whenever graduatian was men-
tioned. From the cocky freshman
class of 1954 we had become the
united and directed Senior ciass
Of 1958. Rut as four years of
Agnes Scott brought changes in
us. so tro did it cause others to
change Towards us. People no
longer screamed that we were
different. They politely p'./oi; ;-ed
that we were unique. We are the
class of 1958.
