Th e nes oco s tt N ews VOL. XLIII 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. restlessness to know the whole truth, and He is the end we ac- tually seek.

This (Continued on Page 4) 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. New Dean Conducts Wednesday Chapel Mr. C. Benton Kline, Jr., Dean of the Faculty, led the worship service in convocation Wednesday, September 25. At this time he also presented an explanation of new course committee procedure. The announcements were high- 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.

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 'Red Letter 1 Events To Mark Calendar The following calendar of events has been printed in the "News" to remind the Agnes Scott com- munity of and to impress upon them the opportunities which shall be theirs during the year.

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, (Continued on Page 4) 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.

(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.

XLIII AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GEORGIA, Wednesday, October 2, 1957 Number 2 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. * TTT T T T TTTT T TTTTT T TTTTTT NOTICE The complete staff of the Agnes Seott News will meet Thurs- day, October 3 at 9:00 p.m. in the living room of Hopkins Hall.

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. Two regional vice-presidents are additions to the Executive Board. They were elected in July and will hold office for two years. Next year, two additional vice-presi- dents will be elected. The officers are to be the link between the 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 after lunch, with the exception of a meeting of committee chairmen and Miss Ann Worthy Johnson, Alumnae secretary. Seen in Passing . . .

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 twelve freshmen were recognized. Honor Roll The Juniors who were named to the 1956-57 Honor Roll are Ann Stein Alperin, Atlanta, Georgia; Mary Dymond Byrd, Lakeland, Florida; Diana Kay Carpenter, Charlotte, North Carolina; Jean- ete Ames Clark, Orlando, Florida; Louise Law, Spartanburg, South Carolina; Carlanna Lindamood, Bristol, Virginia; Carolyn Magru- der, Augusta, Georgia; Phia Pep- pas, Atlanta; Luell Robert, Atlan- ta; and Julia Deene Spivey, Swainsboro, Georgia. The Sophomores named were Margaret Abernethy, Charlotte, North Carolina; Trudy Florrid, Atlanta; Anita McCurdy, San An- tonio, Texas; Donalyn Moore, Decatur, Georgia; Susanne Robin- son, Newell, North Carolina; Jean Salter, Selma, Alabama; Curt Swords, Liberty, South Carolina; Annette Teague, Laurens, South Carolina; Edith Tritton, Atlanta; Nancy Trowell, Cleveland Heights, Ohio; Barbara Varner, Thomaston, Georgia; and Susie White, Win- ston-Salem, North Carolina; Freshmen named to the Honor Roll were Joanne Beaton, College Park, Georgia; Shannon Cum- ming, Nashville, Tennessee; Joan- na Flowers, Kinston, North Caro- lina; Myra Glasure, St. Peters- burg, Florida; Carolyn Ann Hos- kins, Bluefield, West Virginia; Charlotte King, Charlottesville, Virginia; Anne Morrison, Ashe- ville, North Carolina; Warnell Neal, Moultrie, Georgia; Eve Pur- dom, Guilford College, North Caro- lina; Evelyn Scofield, Lanham, Maryland; Sybil Strupe, Winston- Salem, North Carolina; and Mar- tha Thomas, Asheville, North Carolina. The Class Scholarship Trophy, established by the Mortar Board Chapter of 1956-57, was awarded to the class which for the past session earned an academic aver- age which was highest in relation to the three preceding classes of that level. The Trophy was award- ed this year to the Class of 1960 on the basis of their academic record as freshmen. The names of the winners of those scholarships awarded at Commencement last spring were announced to this year's student body at the Convocation chapel. Each year the three students who rank first academically in the ris- ing sophomore, junior, and senior classes are designated as "Stukes Scholars" in recognition of Dean Dean Kline Samuel Guerry Stukes' distinctive service to the college. Named as Stukes Scholars for the 1956-57 session were Martha Gillreth Thomas, Asheville, North Caro- lina; Margaret Ward Abernethy, Charlotte, North Carolina; and Diana Kay Carpenter, also of Charlotte. Diana Carpenter also received the Jennie Sentelle Houghton Scholarship awarded each year on the basis of future promise as in- dicated by character, personality, and scholarship. The Presser Scholarships in Mu- sic, given by the Presser Founda- tion of Philadelphia, were award- ed to Gertrude Ann Florrid of At- lanta, Georgia, and Charlotte Cros- by Henderson of Morristown, Ten- nessee. Speech Award Mildred Rutherford Lane of Clemson, South Carolina, and a member of this year's senior class, received the Speech Scholarship. Also announced at Convocation were the names of the seniors in- vited to do independent study in their respective major subjects. Those were: Ann S. Alperin, Jo- anne Brownlee, Mary Byrd, Diana Carpenter, Jean Clark, Barbara Duvall, Nancy Edwards, Sara Margaret Heard, Nancy Kimmel, Louise Law, Carlanna Lindamood, Carolyn Magruder, Janice Mathe- son, Marion McCall, Anne Mc- Curdy, Phia Peppas, Carol Pike, Lue Robert, Grace Robertson, Ce- leste Rogers, Deene Spivey and. Rosalyn Warren. Students Plan Trip To Bear's Bluff Lab South Carolina will be the de- stination of Miss Bridgman's in- vertebrate zoology class when they leave Friday morning for a week- end field trip. Miss Bridgman and seven mem- bers of the class will visit the Bear's Bluff Laboratory on Wad- malaw Island south of Charleston. This laboratory, which is operated by sophomore Betsy Lunz's father, will give the class an opportunity to observe and collect tpyes of marine life that canot be found in the Atlanta area. 2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, October 2, 1957 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.

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. Mademoiselle Offers Twenty Editorships, New York Trips "Mademoiselle" is now accepting applications from under- graduate women for membership in its 1957-58 College Board. The magazine's College Board Contest offers a chance (for the freshman as well as the senior) at winning one of the twenty Guest Editorships a month on the staff of Made- moiselle."

C. on September 30. Plans were discussed for the World Festival to be held on October 26 in celebration of Unit- ed Nations Day. Special effort is being made to interest more students in world affairs and increase participation in I. R. C. bership. The tryout assignment this year gives more latitude than ever before for indicating your particular talent in writing or art, fashion or advertising, promotion or merchandising, or publicity. Successful candidates will be no- tified of acceptance on the College Board before Christmas; the first College Board assignment will ap- pear, in "Mademoiselle's" January issue. 3>ecl:a4eeen some revi- ions this year in the point system. The ciass man- ager is now given two points in- stead of one. A member of the class team who has attended 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. The present version of the point system may be found in the stu- dent handbook. A revised version of the system is being prepared and will be posted for the stu- dent's convenience. In an effort to fill a definite Athletic Board Explains Points, Presents Play Day Relaxation By Pat Stewart Athletic Association wishes to clarify this year for all students the point system, especially the Sports Board which was formerly the 20-30 Board. An A.A. letter is awarded to all students who have earned at least 80 points in athletic activities. For each additional 40 points, a star is given. These . , social need at Agnes Scott, A.A. sponsored a Play Day Saturday, October 5 from 3 to 5:00 p.m. in the gym. The pool was opened, volley ball courts were set up in the gym, and the other gym equip- ment was available to students. This Play Day was a part of the over-all plan this year of A.A. and Social Council to broaden and expand the social life on campus. Plans have been made to repeat this Play Day at least once a month. It is hoped that all stu- dents will take advantage of this opportunity for relaxation and fellowship. Ellington Grocery Co. 307 E.

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. Saturday night, October 26, So- cial Council will provide a foreign movie and refreshments will be served by Granddaughters Club afterwards in the Hub.

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. Jorie Muller, Harriet Talmadge, Nancy Holland, and Nancy Edwards complete plans for Honor Emphasis Week. 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- Literary Magazine Sets Two Deadlines Thursday, October 17, has been set as the deadline for submission of literary contributions for the fall issue of "Aurora," campus literary magazine; deadline for all art work is October 31. Acceptable contributions include all stories, poems, sketches, essays, plays, reviews, linoleum blocks, pen and ink drawings, photographs, pencil sketches, and woodcuts. Manuscripts must be typed dou- ble-spaced with name of author inside envelope bearing title of entry. 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.

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.

This is Jules Verne's immortal story of 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.

Wednesday, October 16, 1957 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS 3 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." CA Freshman Club Launches Activities Freshmen met in Walter's recre- ation room yesterday at 5:00 p.m. for the first '61 Club meeting. Nancy Grayson, the club's ad- visor, opened the meeting with a 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- sponsibilities of the publicity com- mittee, and Jane Law told the members about duties of girls working on vespers. Kay Lamb informed '61 Club about the fin- ance committee before Cynthia Grant discussed projects for the group. Following these talks, refresh- ments were served.

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.

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.

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. DECATUR CO-OP CABS 24 HR. SERVICE Radio Dispatch Call DR. 7-1708 DR. 7-3866 May We Suggest .

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.

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 Simply Wonderful Sportswear OPEN DAILY 9:305:30 OPEN FRIDAY UNTIL 8:30 133 Sycamore Street DECATUR "On The Square" 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 to give her name to a members of the English Department. All names must be turned in before the end of fall quarter.

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?

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.

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.

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- sponse thus far has been "fair," but enthusiasm is expected to in- crease as the drive continues. "Support in the freshman class has been outstanding and should serve as an stimulus for the other classes" said Martha. "As the need was so clearly realized in student meeting, we are confident that we will receive the necessary finan- cial support."

XLIU AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GEORGIA, Wednesday, October 30, 1957 Number 5 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- Rant, Annette Whipple, Llewellyn Bellamy, Anne Lowry, Audrey Johnson, Mary Jane Milford, Nora Ann Simpson, Barbara Varner, Nancy Kimmel, Peggy Fanson, Deene Spivey, Sally Sanford, Caro- lyn Hazard, Suellen Beverly, Mary Anne Campbell, Betty Girard, Frances Broom, Jan Fleming, Tomi Lewis, Barbara Duvall, Nora King, Elizabeth Shumaker, Diane Snead, Nancy Graves, Martha Bethea, Carolyn Tinkler, Millie Lane. Even with this large cast, several members of the group will have to act two parts. Four "little girls" pose in their little girl dresses on the day before Investiture. This year's traditional Little Girls' Day will be Friday, November 1. 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. 'Casper in Heaven' Entertains Seniors The Junior class will entertain the members of the Senior class at an after-Investiture party in the Hub from 10:30 till 11:00 a.m. on Monday, November 4. Judy Harrold is over-all chair- man for the party and the theme to be carried out by the decora- tions will be "Casper in Heaven." Blakely Blakely, Chang Will Address Seniors, Guests At Services By Betty Cline In accordance with tradition, at noon on Saturday, Novem- ber 2, the sophomores will escort the Senior Class across the quadrangle to Presser Hall for the Investiture Ceremony. It is at this time each year the class which is to graduate in the coming spring is officially recognized as the Senior Class. Dean Carrie Scandrett will place the mortar boards on the heads of the members of the class of 1958. The speaker for this occasion will be Dr. Kwai Sing Chang, Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Bible. His address, entitled "Wisdom and Knowledge," will deal first with the meaning of In- vestiture and secondly, with the distinction between wisdom and knowledge. A morning worship service will be held in Gaines Chapel at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday. Dr. Hunter B. Blakely, Jr., Secretary of the Division of Higher Education of the Board of Christian Education for the Presbyterian Church in the United States will deliver the Senior Investiture sermon, A na- tive of Lancaster, South Carol- lina, Dr. Blakely received his A.B. degree from Erskine College, his M.A. from Princeton, a B.D. from Louisville Presbyterian Seminary, and his Th.D. from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He also holds an honorary D.D. degree from Hampton-Sydney College. European Study Dr. Blakely has studied in Eu- rope both at Oxford and the Uni- versity of Berlin. From 1927 to 1928 he served as Acting Pastor of the American Church in Berlin. Our speaker has also had churches in Louisville and Harrodsburg, Kentucky and in Staunton, Vir- ginia.

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.

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. BOZ Holds Tryouts For New Members B. O.

Wednesday, October 30, 1957 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS 3 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.

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.

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- Visit or Phone WATSON PHARMACY For Prompt Delivery DR. 3-1665 YOUR NEAREST DRUG STORE 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 Hears Tech Student Lower House held a retreat at Miss Scandrett's house on Octo- ber 16, to discuss the purposes and duties of Lower.

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.

TOrillfll CREATION BELK - GALLANT CO. 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 BAILEY'S Shoe Shop 53 Years in Decatur Look At Your Shoes 142 Sycamore Street DECATUR CO-OP CABS 24 HR.

Becoming suspicious, she 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 kills the dictator ant and a large dagger is required. A rubber dag- ger has been used at rehearsals, but with the acquisition of a U.S. Navy knife which was used to kill two Japanese in World War II, dress rehearsals may be some- what bloodier. The costume problem has been HEARN'S Jewelry Co. Gift Items Expert Watch & Jewelry Repair 131 Sycamore St. 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 Visit or Phone WATSON PHARMACY For Prompt Delivery DR. 3-1665 YOUR NEAREST DRUG STORE 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. After Seven . . .

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. Debaters Question Humanity of Profs Pi Alpha Phi met on Tuesday, November 12, in McKinney Room in Main. Sid Howell presented a tryout and was voted into the club. Rosemary Roberts, Mary Clayton Bryan, Susie Ware, and Audrey Johnson reported on the University of South Carolina De- bate Tournament which was held in Columbia, South Carolina, No- vember 7, 8, and 9. Following the report, an intra- club debate was presented. Debat- ing on the topic, "Resolved: Pro- fessors Are Humans," Sally Smith and Susie White taking the nega- tive side won over Rosemary Rob- erts and Boogie Helm, who argued the affirmative. On Friday and Saturday, Nov- ember 22 and 23, this group will be host to three guests who have been associated with the advanced tests of the College Entrance Ex- amination Board: Dr. C. H. Keller, chairman of the Department of History, Williams College; Dr. George Creeger, chairman of the Department of English, Wesleyan University; and Dr. Robert Rourke, chairman of the Depart- ment of Mathematics, Kent School. On Friday evening, November 22, at 6:30 in the ball room of the Biltmore Hotel, Dr. Keller will speak. On Saturday morning at 10:00, Dr. Creeger and Dr. Rourke will lead discussion groups which will be followed by a luncheon at 12:15. Dr. Alston will preside dur- ing the meal and all three guests will participate in the discussion concerning the making of adequate and appropriate educational pro- visions for the better than average student. These discussions and the luncheon will also be held in the Biltmore. Members of the Agnes Scott fac- ulty who have been invited to attend are Dr. Alston, Mr. Cline, Dr. McNair, Miss Gaylord, Miss Steele, Miss Ham, Mrs. Sims, Miss Leyburn, Miss Trotter, Dr. Frier- son and Dr. Rice.

XLIII AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GEORGIA, Wednesday, December 11, 1957 Number 9 dee Club Will Carol Sunday 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! Education 340, Teaching of Ele- mentary Music, not only provides valuable experience and methods Hansel at the witch's house for future elementary teachers, but also provides entertainment for many Agnes Scott "children!"

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 Saturday at 9:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. As soon as possible after 12:45 on Saturday announcements of awards will be made. Six trophies will be awarded best over-all school, best affirma- tive team, best negative team, and first, second and third place in- dividual debators. Certificates will be given others. Agnes Scott will participate in the debating but will not be eligible for awards. The work of sponsoring this tournament has been carried out by the tournament manager, Susie White. Rosalyn Warren is in charge of refreshments, Boogie Helm in charge of registration, and Sally Smith in charge of judges. Faculty members will serve as judges and students will be used as timers. 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. Seen in Passing . . .

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.

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! Majrruder internationally Speaking 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.

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.

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. May We Suggest . . , Hand Cleaning of Your Nicer Garments And Remember . . .

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.

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- Ellington Grocery Co. 307 E.

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.

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. .

XLIII 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 Campus Schedules Marriage Lectures The annual series of Marriage Classes began Wednesday, Jan- uary 8 with the opening lecture, "Courtship and Marriage," given by the Reverend Robert Riegel of St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Atlanta. Sponsored by Mortar Board, these classes are open to seniors and engaged girls. They are being held each Wednesday from 5 to 6 o'clock in 207 Camp- bell Hall. The lectures and speakers are as follows: January 15, "The Emotionally Adjusted Woman," Mrs. Walter Herbert, principal of Westminster School; January 22, "Interior Design," Miss Marie Huper; January 29 and February 5, "Sex Relationships," Dr. Abra- ham Velkoff; February 12, "The Family," Dr. Edmund Steimle, Religious Emphasis Speaker; Feb- ruary 19, "Finance," Mr. and Mrs. John C. Spencer; February 26, "Making Marriage Permanent," Dr. Wallace Alston. Students who are unable to at- tend the Wednesday classes will have an opportunity to hear the lecture on tape. An announcement will be posted each week as to the time and place of the play-backs. campus wide participation it is hoped that the student body will experience the satisfaction that comes from a unified effort to help others. Junior Jaunt provides an opportunity for everyone to have a good time while striving toward this goal." Each class and the faculty has elected a skit chairman. They are as follows: Nancy Hall, freshman class; Lil Hart, sophomore class; Carolyn Hazard, junior class; Frances Gwinn, senior class; Miss Rion, the faculty. Suzanne Mc- Millan is in charge of handling the money collected from Junior Jaunt. She is being assisted by the money chairmen of the fresh- men, sophomore, junior and sen- ior classes. They are Mary Parke Cross, Nancy Duvall, Suzanne Bailey and Jimsie Oeland. Other people involved in preparations for Junior Jaunt are Sissy Daniel, dance chairman; Barbara Varner, publicity; Lila McGeachy, decora- tions; Mary Anne Henderson, re- freshments. 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. "Maria," as she is affectionately 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. i 9 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday. January 15, 1958 P i It) S TO A .Gi S'CM i 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.

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 HEARN'S Jewelry Co. Gift Items Expert Watch & Jewelry Repair 131 Sycamore St. over here. You get used to the noise. See, they even leave their books here.

In order to have sufficient time for such a program, the time between each of the morning classes will be cut to five minutes. Current Art Exhibit Features Diversity The Atlanta Art Association now has on display three import- ant new exhibitions of art.

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.

This exhibition will be interna- tional in scope. It will include the works of both old and contempor- ary French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and American artists. 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.

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. DECATUR CO-OP CABS 24 HR.

XLIII AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GEORGIA, Wednesday, January 22, 1958 Number 11 Campus Invades Fantasyland Skits, Picnic, Dance To Climax Week Of Junior Jaunt Saturday 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.

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.

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 the free world with competent 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.

St. Mary's College 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.

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." A school building in Little Rock, Arkansas has been guarded by sol- diers. The school situation at Cen- tral High in Little Rock has focused emu \1! CORNER Simply Wonderful Sportswear OPEN DAILY 9:305:30 OPEN FRIDAY UNTIL 8:30 133 Sycamore Street DECATUR "On The Square" Dr. Alston 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.

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.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE Decatur, Ga. 4 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS # Wednesday, January 22, 1958 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. Ellington Grocery Co. 307 E. College Ave. DR. 7-3842-3842 Decatur, Go. May We Suggest...

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.

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. Quarterly Receives Improved 1 Award "The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly" was named the "most improved" magazine at the Southeastern District meeting of the American Alumni Council. The meeting was held at Williamsburg, Va., January 15-18, where the College of William and Mary was host. Miss Ann Worthy Johnson, who represented Agnes Scott at this meeting, said that the award was given on the basis of improvement in appearance and editorial value over the past year. Miss Johnson was elected district director for funds for the coming year. The American Alumni Council is a national organization made up of professional alumni workers. 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- lege year, Mr. Toynbee was a visit- ing professor at The Rice Institute in Houston, Texas. He is coming to Agnes Scott on his way to Washington and Lee, where he will be a visiting professor for the second semester. In writing The Study of History, the ten volumes of which were completed between 1934 and 1954, Mr. Toynbee set himself the "task of mastering the whole history of mankind and finding a meaning or pattern in it." He divides his- tory into twenty-one major civili- zations., five of which are now liv- ing. Although he believes that in Drucker Advocates Knowledge of Self The first of a series on "Getting to Know Us" was held as an in- formal discussion in '61 Club, Tuesday, January 28. It was led by Mrs. Melvin Drucker as a con- tinuation of her talk to the fresh- men in class meeting on Monday. This series was formed to study the growth and development of a girl in her first year at college. The committee for organizing the program was headed by Susan Abernathy, chairman; Prudy Moore, president of the club; and ex-officio members, Nancy Gray- son, Sarah Tucker, and Nancy Burkitt. Arnold Toynbee theory civilizations may live for- ever, he (finds a theme of "Chal- lenge and Response" determining their rise and fall. Lecture Association has long wished to bring Mr. Toynbee to Agnes Scott. In 1955, after the group had made several vain ef- forts to engage him, Miss Mell wrote asking him to set his own date for a lecture. He is coming to us on the day which he agreed Musicians To Form Sigma Alpha lota The music department of Agnes Scott is making plans for the es- tablishment here of a new chap- ter of Sigma Alpha Iota, a national music fraternity. Sigma Alpha Iota, which has chapters at col- leges and universities throughout the United States, is a leading music fraternity.

The current interest in Mr. Toynbee can be illustrated in part by the number of people who at- tended one of the last public lec- tures which he delivered in this country.

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.

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.

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 Internationally Speaking Student Government Association compared. There hasn't been quite gives a warm and hearty Thank the same spirit of participation." You! Burs Matthews, junior: "By competition through participation more people got the real spirit of Junior Jaunt. It's an idea that ought to be continued." Sincerely Carolyn Hazard Secretary of Student Government Association 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'."

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 DeKALB- DECATUR THEATER Wednesday- Saturday January 29-February 1 "The Sad, Sack" Jerry Lewis Monday & Tuesday February 8 & 4 "Stopover Tokyo" Robert Wagner Joan Collins Cinemascope & Color Visit or Phone WATSON PHARMACY For Prompt Delivery DR. 3-1665 YOUR NEAREST DRUG STORE Saturday night conclave of waiting escorts outside the dean's office find conversation whiles away the time. 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 illness. I was suspicious enough to wonder if the girl I'd caught doing a quick about-face at the back door were not the doll. Pajama Game "Into the building bustled a girl all bundled up from shin bone to ears. I understood why when the legs to her pajamas rolled down as she passed through the door. One of the frats was having a come-as-you-are party. "By nine o'clock the crowd had thinned out enough for me to HEARN'S Jewelry Co. Gift Items Expert Watch & Jewelry Repair 131 Sycamore St. pick my way towards the desk. 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. Ellington Grocery Co. 307 E.

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.

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." Rutland's House Of Music, Inc.

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 Flattering Hair Cuts Soft Fluffy Permanents Call For Appointment Jerry's Beauty Salon One Block From School 215 Church Street DR. 3-5361 Music Fraternity . . .

BAILEY'S Shoe Shop 53 Years in Decatur Look At Your Shoes 142 Sycamore Street 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 DR. 3-9288 6 A.M. 9 A.M. CAMPUS GRILL T-BONE STEAK $1.25 Decatur, Ga. 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. ette 5 102 Church Street DR. 8-2209 DECATUR CO-OP CABS 24 HB.

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 Big Man On Campus Steimle popularity with and understand- ing of Agnes Scott's particular age group. This summer Dr. Steimle will be SUGGESTION BOX A suggestion box, which will be in the mail room beginning this week, is a project of Student Government Association.

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.

We regret this error. 2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, February 5, 1958 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.

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- NOTICE Social Council presents the movie "So Big" Saturday night, February 18, at 7:30 in Campbell Hall. Admission 35 cents. After Seven 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 Academy Theater, 65 Fourth Street, N.W. "Raintree County," starring Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Tay- lor, and Eva Marie Saint, is sche- duled to open Thursday, February 6, at Loew's Grand Theater. This movie is taken from Ross Lock- ridge Jr.'s prize-winning novel of 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- tion to the presidency in 1860, and reaches a climax with the Battle of Chickamauga and Sher- man's March to the Sea. The movie was filmed in Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Miss- issippi. Also at the Fox, "Peyton Place," telling of the conflict among the residents of the small New Eng- land town of the same name, is proving to be a record-breaker. At the Roxy, David O. Selznick's production of Ernest Heming- way's novel of love and war, "A Farewell to Arms," is in its sec- ond week. Irish Drama On February 15, the celebrated Dublin Players will play a one- night, two play engagement at the Tower Theater. The plays be- ing presented are Sean O'Casey's "Juno and the Paycock" and "Arms and the Man" by Bernard Shaw. Tickets are on sale at the Tower box office. Also on Saturday, February 22, the National Ballet of Canada will present a matinee and a night per- formance. The two performances will include different numbers. With all of this insight, start 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." Wednesday, February 5, 1958 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS 3 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." University Lecturer Visits Agnes Scott "Analisis estilistico de un cuen- to do Jorge Luis Borges" was the title of the lecture given by En- rique Anderson-Imbert at a din- ner meeting of the University Center Language Association held last night in the President's Din- ing Room. A visiting University Center lecturer, Dr. Anderson-Imbert is Professor of Spanish at the Uni- versity of Michigan. Yesterday morning he met informally with Agnes Scott Spanish students and was guest at a luncheon attended by members of the Spanish De- partment. Velkhoff Will Speak To Marriage Class 207 Campbell Hall seems to be a popular place on Wednesdays from 5-6 p.m. for seniors and en- gaged girls. Marriage classes spon- sored by Mortor Board is the attraction. There are four more classes re- maining on this year's program. On February 5, Dr. Abraham Velkhoff, Atlanta gynecologist, will be here a second time to talk about sex relationships. Dr. Ed- mund Steimle, Religious Empha- sis Week speaker, will speak on the family on February 12. Dis- cussing finances on February 19 will be Mr. and Mrs. John C. Spencer. Mr. Spencer obtained his masters degree in finance from the University of Pennsylvania. Mrs. Spencer was a journalism major at University of Georgia. Winding up the marriage classes will be Dr. Alston's talk, "Making Marriage Permanent," February 26. For those unable to come to these classes there will be tape recording play-offs on Thursdays at 4 p.m. in 207 Campbell. CA Book Collection Offers Worship Aid Have you taken advantage of the Christian Association book shelf lately? C. A. has made an effort to collect many valuable books containing religious litera- ture, and shorter meditations. Sally Meek and Suzanne McMillan are in charge of this service. Various types of books are avail- able for student use including Dr. Alston's Throne Among the Nations and The Screwtape Let- ters by C. S. Lewis. In the cate- gory of Christian belief there are such books as Nichols' Primer for Protestants and C. S. Lewis' Mere Christianity. Included among the biographies of Christ is Papini's Life of Christ. Dairy of Private Prayer by John Baillie, and Peter Marshall's Mr. Jones, Meet The Master are only two of a number of valuable books for private devo- tions. There are also several volumes concerning different re- ligions of the world. C. A. encourages students to take full advantage of these books for hall prayer programs as well as for personal devotions. This service will be of particular value during Personal Devotions Week, Februray 17-22. The book shelf is located to the right of the fireplace in the main reading room of the library.

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. DR. 3-9283 6 A.M. -9 A.M.

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 a few points all through the last 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 junior attack with Ann Peagler and Caroline Simmons sparking 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 14-14.

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.

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- Ellington Grocery Co. 307 E. College Ave. DR. 7-3841-3842 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.

XLIII AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GEORGIA, Wednesday, February 12, 195S Nil !VJ T 'hAan on the Hall 1 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 swimmers pose before practicing for the water pageant, "Reflections." 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. Seen In Passing...

Dancers ^kutiierine Litz and Ilex Harrison litz, Harrison To Present- Modern Recital In Gaines Modern dance will be the focal point of campus interest on February 24 and 25 when the dance departments of Agnes Scott, Shorter, Georgia State College for Women, and the University of Georgia in co-operation with the Georgia Dance Association will present Katherine Litz and Ray Harrison. , , . dance techmques. The following afternoon at 4:30 the participating dance groups will present a symposium of their work for Miss Litz's and Mr. Har- rison's suggestions and criticisms. The climax of the two-day visit of these dancers will be the recital which they will present in Gaines at 8:00 p.m., Tuesday evening. This will be Miss Litz's and Mr. Har- rison's second appearance together (their first was in New York) and Agnes Scott's first modern dance recital. David Tudor will be the piano accompanist for this event. Mrs. Berson, instructor of mod- ern dance at Agnes Scott, says that the recital will be completely on the student level. She adds, "I hope the girls will take advantage of this opportunity to see two such very fine dancers." All of these events are open to the public. There will be no a~d- mission for Agnes Scott students and faculty; for others, the class and the symposium are $2.00 each, and the recital is $1.50. Miss Litz, who has had an out- standing career both as a teacher of modern dance and as a dancer in several Broadway productions, among them "Carousel" and "Ok- lahoma," will teach a class com- posed of dance students from the participating colleges, the Georgia Dance Association, and interested dancers from Atlanta on Monday, February 24, at 8:00 p.m. in the Agnes Scott gymnasium. This class is to demonstrate to the stu- dents samples of new modern Biggs Will Conduct Master Class Here The Agnes Scott community will have an opportunity to hear the celebrated concert organist, E. Power Biggs, on Wednesday, Feb- ruary 19 when Mr. Biggs will con- duct the Master Organ Class at Gaines Chapel ifrom 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. The program will include an organ performance by five Agnes Scott students, and also lectures and instructions for members of the Master Organ Class. Mr. Biggs is a nationally known concert organist. He is largely responsible for the remarkable revival of interest in the organ as a concert instrument. He has sti- mulated the largest output of new organ music since the age of Bach and Handel. While he is in Atlanta, Mr. Biggs will perform in the Joseph Ragen Memorial Concert at All Saints Church on Tuesday, February 18 at 8:30 p.m. This recital is pre- sented by the Atlanta Chapter, American Guild of Organists, in honor of the former organist of All Saints Church who passed away in January this year. The public is invited to this recital. The Agnes Scott Master Organ Class is open to the campus com- munity. An audition fee of $2.00 per person will be charged. Trustee Executives Will Meet Monday The Executive Committee of the Agnes Scott College Board of Trustees will hold a routine dinner meeting on campus Monday even- ing, February 17, according to Dr, Wallace Alston, ex-office member. Executive Committee meetings are held three or four times a year in order to review the pro- gress of the college and consider plans for the period ahead. Members are trustees from in and around Atlanta, which facili- tates their meeting often. They include, J. R. McCain, chairman; J. R. Neal, S. G. Stukes, Mrs. J. C. Read, Harry A. Fifield, G. La- mar Westcott, J. Davison Philips, L. L. Gellerstedt, Hal Smith, Chairman of the Board; and Dr. Alston. 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.

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.

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, David Glendy Phi Kappa Sigma Washington and Lee Uni. Lex'n^ton Virgin?* Internationally Speaking 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.

Wednesday, February 12, 1958 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS 3 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.

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.

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." Rutland's House Of Music, Inc.

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 Visit or Phono WATSON PHARMACY For Prompt Delivery DR. 3-1665 YOUR NEAREST DRUG STORE 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.

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. DR. 3-9283 6 A.M. 9 A.M. CAMPUS GRILL T-BONE STEAK $1.25 "OOKC" A AEOUTCAEO TftAOC* MARK. COrvMIOHT 1994 THl COCA-COL* OOMfAMT.

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. ANNOUNCEMENT Dr. Petirim Alexandrovich Sorokin, emeritus professor at Harvard University, is ill and will not deliver the lecture scheduled for Monday evening, March 3.

Coraddi Will Print Kimmel's Poetry Senior Nancy Kimmel has had two poems and a short story cho- sen for publication in the Arts Festival Coraddi of the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina. On March 14, Henry Rago,. edi- tor of Poetry, and Murray Noss, poet and writing teacher at Wo- man's College, will discuss the poetry in the magazine, including Nancy's "Apartment House" and "The Grandchildren." Her story, "This Side of the Street," will be criticized along with the other fiction in the issue by three outstanding authors. On March 15, Caroline Gordon, author of The Malefactors, Doris Betts, author of The Gentle Insurrection and Tall House In Winter, Frances Gray Patten, author of Good Morning, Miss Dove, and also Hiram Haydn, critic and editor for Random House, will discuss the stories in this issue of the Coraddi. Nancy is planning to at- tend these sessions of criticism. 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.

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 (Continued on Page 4) 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.

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. M.M.

MARTHA BETHEA 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. Concerned Seniors Reporters Mary Bjrrd. Sart Anne Cmry. Nancy Dura 11.

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.

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.

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.

XLIII AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GEORGIA, Wednesday, March 5, 1958 NUMBER 16 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 Dieckmann "Agnes Scott tradition" in the family for their daughter, Adele, is also an ASC alumna. At present she is organist at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. 25th Anniversary Although retired, Dr. Dieck- mann continues to be active in the community.

Mrs. Ryberg, who spoke at Emory University Center series and has a number of works to her credit. Now a professor at Vassar College, Mrs. Ryberg entitled her lecture "Vergil's Golden Age." 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. Teas Will Brighten Winter Exam Days Winter quarter exams will again be brightened by' the exam teas in the Hub, sponsored by the staff of the Dean's Office. Mrs. Dunlap and Nancy Brock are making arrangements for the teas, which will be held after the Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday afternoon exams from 3:30 until 5:00, with various members of the staff ser- ving. Exams will begin Wednesday, March 12, at 2:00 and will conti- nue through the exam period of 9:00 Wednesday, March 19. 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.

Can Spring Be Far Behind? 2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, March 5, 1958 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. H.T.K.

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. Circulation Managers MARY GRACE PALMER.

Wednesday, March 5, 1958 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS 3 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- * mm CORHtR Simply Wonderful Sportswear OPEN DAILY 9:305:30 133 Sycamore Street DECATUR "On The Square" Ceevah Rosenthal Blatman 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.

Ceevah's dream was beginning tc be realized. Before long CORRE (the Commission for Rehabilita- tion and Research in Epilepsy) 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. Hearn, Mademoiselle Awards 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- moiselle" bestowed on her one of its annual Merit Awards for her outstanding work.

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.

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.

XLin AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GEORGIA. Wednesday, March 12, 1958 NUMBER 17 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. TTTT TTTTTTT' '"TTTTTTTT' NOTICE There will he no issue of "The Agnes Scott News" for the next two weeks due to the Spring Holidays. Nancy Graves, Carolyn Hazard, Millie Lane, Anita Sheldon, and Janice Powell perfect the "masculine air." Ohio State Men's Glee Club Ohio State Men, Agnes Scott Students To Present Choral Program In Gaines Agnes Scott will be hostess to the members of the Men's Glee Club from Ohio State University when they arrive here on March 26 for a joint concept with the Agnes Scott Glee Club. The members of the club will be on campus Wednesday after- noon for a rehearsal, followed by dinner in the dining hall. That evening, at 8:00 P.M., in Gaines 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 Campus Prepares To Choose Officers On the Thursday following spring holidays, March 27, nomi- nations for next year's student leaders will be held during the regular student meeting. Immedi- ately afterwards, the committee and the popular nominations will be posted simultaneously; the vital statistics are already up in the mailroom. Elections will be held during student meetings on Monday and Tuesday, April 7 and 8, and on Thursday and Friday, April 10 and 11, to complete the process by which the various campus offices are filled. Nancy Edwards, presi- dent of Student Government, calls for the wholehearted support of the student body in these elections. Class nominations are schduled to be held during class meetings on Monday, April 14. The election of class officers will take place during class meetings on Thurs- day, April 17, and Monday, April 21. community and a dollar fifty for the general public. Following the program, a party, sponsored by Social Council, will be given for the members of the two glee clubs in Walters Recrea- tion Room. The Ohio State Glee Club, under the director of Professor Norman Staeger, will make twelve appear- ances on their 3,500 mile tour through the South. At various times the group has appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show and other nationally televised programs. They have also sung with artists such as Jan Peerce, Metropolitan Opera tenor, and with the Colum- bus Symphony Orchestra.

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.

"The Brothers Karamazo" taken from Fyodor ts Here are some words of wisdom from the "Belles of St. Mary's": Courtship is that period of a girl's life between lipstick and broom- stick. Daffynitions from "The Tech- nique": A-a rare feat. B-grade given student doing "A" work. C-grade given when professor loses grade book. Coed-candidate for Mrs. degree. Frosh-a fellow who buys his books before the first exam. Cramming-intellectual over-eating after a long period of starvation. The following anecdote appeared in the "State News" of Michigan State University: Following a recent basketball game here, the Campus Police stopped the car of a student sus- pected of driving while intoxicated. Upon being asked for identifica- tion data, the student calmly wrap- ped the bubble gum he had been chewing in a tinfoil wrapper, press- 1 ed it neatly into a small pellet, handed it to the baffled patrolman and anounced: "This silver bullet should tell you who I am." jjestoyevsky's novel of romance, conflicting wills, and murder, is scheduled to open Thursday, March 13, at Loew's Grand. The cast includes Yul Brynner, Maria Schell, Claire Bloom, and Lee J. Cobb. At the Rialto, Francois Sagan's much discussed novel, Bonjour Tristesse, is being brought to the screen.

On March 31, in Georgia Tech Coliseum, "Pancho" Ganzales will play Lew Head, and Tony Trabert will play "Pancho" Segura. Reserved seats are on sale now. WALTE RS Internationally Speaking 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 technicolor production. It is a 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 35 cents per parson. Vital Statistics For Voters Save this list of duties and qualifications for offices and of girls who have worked with various organizations.

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.

During the summer after her junior year at Agnes Scott, Mary- beth served as one of twenty guest editors for the annual college is- sue of "Mademoiselle," a job which helped her to secure a full- time position on the magazine staff in 1949.

PRESIDENT WALLACE M. ALSTON 4 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, March 12, 1958 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.

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. Ellington Grocery Co. 307 E. College Ave. DR. 7-3842-3842 Rutland's House Of Music, Inc.

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.

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 as one thousand a year. Acting for the Council of South- ern Universities, Inc., the South- ern Fellowships Fund gives fin- ancial assistance to a limited num- ber of college students who wish to prepare themselves, through graduate study, for a career of teaching in southern colleges and universities. The winner must be enrolled in the senior class of one of a specified list of twenty-five colleges and universities within the area of the Fund. Three Year Grant The teaching career fellowships granted from this Fund may ex- tend over a period of one to three years. In the first academic year of graduate study the recipient must attend a school within the area of the Fund. The winners may take their second and third years of study at a university within or outside the area of the Fund. The stipend of each fel- lowship for the first year will be one thousand dollars plus the cost of tuition. This amount will be increased to fifteen hundred dol- lars for the second year and two thousand for the third. , 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.

Holy Week To End In Sunrise Service Holy Week, March 31 through Easter Sunday, is designed to em- phasize the force of Christ's suf- fering, death and resurrection on individual lives. The theme, "What Think Ye of Christ?" is the central idea that pervades the convocation services, morning watches and vespers. The Week will be concluded by an Easter Sunrise Service at 7:30 a.m. on the brick patio of the infirmary with Mr. C. Benton Kline present- ing the Easter message. Lou Healy is in charge of this service. Gutzke, Tisdale Dr. Manford George Gutzke of Columbia Theological Seminary spoke in chapel Tuesday, followed by the Reverend Harry Tisdale who talked in this morning's con- vocation. Randy Norton will lead a medi- tation on the Lord's Supper in chapel on Thursday while a choral reading entitled, "The Cross and the Crowd" will be presented Fri- day. Miss Sarah Tucker will con- clude the chapel series on Satur- day with a talk entitled, "And if Christ be not risen . . ." Throughout the week, morning watches are being held on the brick patio of the infirmary. An- nette Teague and Ann Morrison are in charge of the watches. Suzanne MacMillan is respons- ible for a book display in the lib- rary which will feature devotional and art literature relating to Holy Week.

NOTICE "The Agnes Scott News" will appear next week on Thursday, April 10, instead of Wednesday, April 9, in order to include now Phi Beta Kappa announcements. 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.

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.

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.

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. Nancy Edwards for a career in show-business. This was adapted for the screen by Everett Freeman. It stars Gene Kelly, Natalie Wood, Claire Tre- vor, Everett Sloan, and Ed Wynn. Scheduled to open Thursday, April 3, at Loew's Grand is "Mer- ry Andrew" starring Danny Kaye and Pier Angeli. This show is a comedy of manners in a circus background. Offering more distracttion in the near future will be Victor Borge, the Danish-born comedian. He will appear in Atlanta at the Municipal Auditorium on April 23. 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! Masr ruder u 4.Vd GOP CRf A TED' Lyr/ Internationally Speaking Collegians Counsel 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. iptd 6 . . . The city of Atlanta offers the Scott tfirl MANY Cultural opportunities.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

"The Da- kota Student." By Carolyn Magruder 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. Thursday, April 10, 1958 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS 3 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.

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 where Marcie's chaplain father gave the sermon at the service. Rosa Barnes enjoyed the lovely (?) weather at a Carolina KA houseparty on Pawley's Island, South Carolina. The other half the gals who kept the home fires burning gave the movie industry a nice boost. Millie Lane, Barbara Duvall, Barbara Kohn, Barbara Baldauf, Lucy Maud Davis, Peyton Baber, and Susan Shirley had a preview of August temperatures at the Fox where "The Long Hot Summer" is playing.

Dieneke Neiwenhuis, Helen Salfiti, Judy Sawyer, Jane Norman, and Miss Kate McKemie preferred "Witness for the Prosecution." The only big social event was the AKK formal at the Standard Country Club.

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. Cmderellas... (Continued from Page 3) 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. HEARN'S Jewelry Co.

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. The Agnes Published weekly except during holidays a Agnes Scott College.

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? iter Seven jold Cadillac , Art Collection orecast Seasonal Pleasures Altars."

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. $L; Caliban, Liz Shumaker; Trin- culo, Sueellen Beverly; Boatswain, \nita Sheldon; and Mariners, Ly- lia Dwen, Ann Parker, and Su- :anne Manges.

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.

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.

Internationally Speaking 4& Whit 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. Appreciative Junior 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!!!

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. President Wallace Alston and Dean C. Benton Kline presented Atlantan Heads Alumnae; Graduates Increase Fund Isabella ("Bella") Wilson Lewis, class of 1934, was elected president of the National Alumnae Association of Agnes Scott College April 19, immediately following the annual Alumnae Luncheon in Letitia Pate Evans Dining Hall. Mrs. Lewis, who lives in Decatur and is the wife of a Georgia Tech professor, served on Miss Carrie Scandrett's staff for a number of years. She has served on the executive board of the Alumnae Association in other capacities for many years. The alumnae named Betty Jean Following the practice by which half of the executive board of the association is elected one year and the remaining half, the next year, Mrs. Lewis will serve as president for two years. In addition to Mrs. Lewis, nine other alumnae were elected to of- fices on the executive board of the National Alumnae Associa- tion. Two of the four regional vice-presidents of the board were named: Evelyn Baty Landis of New Orleans, Louisiana, class of 1940, and Caroline Hodges Roberts of Georgia, class of 1948. Korean Collegians Request Used Texts Lower House has scheduled var- ied projects for the month of May ranging from the Korean book drive to a leisurely breakfast-in- bed for Scot ties. The Book Drive, now in pro- gress, is sponsored by Korean students attending various Ameri- can colleges and universities. The purpose of this nation-wide pro- ject, sponsored on the Agnes Scott campus by Lower House, is to collect used text books to replen- ish the Korean books destroyed in the war. Mary Hart Richardson, Lower House chairman, announc- ed that the deadline for turning in the books has been extended to May 16th.

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." Announcement 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 in the upstairs of the Hub. Any- one interested in layouts, copy- writing, advertising, or typing is requested to contact editor Betsy Roberts by Friday morn- ing. 'TTTTTTTTTTTT- 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.

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 eleven-forty-five. The whole cam- pus is invited to dance to music ranging from "I Love Paris" to "The Mexican Hat Dance." The Moulin Rouge Room will serve refreshments and also provide a floor show, which will feature a scene from last Saturday night's senior production, "The Man With 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 served by classmates whose fel- lows are out of town. At eight o'clock the big street dance will begin. Sophs will jitterbug and slow dance to the music of Neil Montgomery's band. The atmos- phere will be complete with a side- 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 Muse will be responsible for dec- orations.

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 (Continued on Page 6) 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.

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.

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.

Conferring- of Degrees, 2 O THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS # Wednesday, May 28, 1958 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. L. E.

Fur- ther complications arose on the re- turn trip which was made by plane with one stowaway, who had lost her ticket. International Relations Week at Presbyterian College was high- lighted by an address by General Mark Clark. From the Mary Baldwin College Campus Comments: Typical goings on as the practice teacher tries to keep order "Can anyone tell me why birds fly South?" "Sure! It's too far to walk." From the "Emory Wheel:" A logic professor really wanted to give his class a difficult ques- tion.

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.

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.

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. FACULTY...

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.

Relate ASC Impressions Vanhee Inbar Salfiti 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. LOUISE VANHEE CAROLINA DUDLEY MARY M00RI 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.

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."

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 (Continued on Page 4) 4 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS 6 Monday.

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.

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 (Continued on Page 5) HEARN'S Jewelry Co.

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.

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. To the Graduates .

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.

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.
